Церковь Покрова на Нерли внесена в Список всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО.

Когда пишут и говорят об этом храме, обычно приводят слова Игоря Грабаря: «Церковь Покрова на Нерли близ Владимира является не только самым совершенным храмом, созданным на Руси, но и одним из величайших памятников мирового искусства».

Храм был возведен за один год в 1165 году князем Андреем Боголюбским.

Во времена своей «молодости» храм выглядел иначе, а холм-пьедестал, является делом рук человеческих.

Подземная часть храма составляет 5,30 м . В устье Нерли вырос искусственный холм, ставший пьедесталом для церкви Покрова и предохраняющий ее от коварных весенних вод. Холм был покрыт панцирем из белокаменных плит с водосточными желобами и лестницами, сбегающими к пристани.

Пропорции храма необыкновенно изящны и красивы. Часто этот храм сравнивают с образом красной девицы Здесь все направлено на достижение эффекта максимальной стройности и высоты. Множество деталей, еле уловимых, очень деликатных, подчеркивают вертикальную ось сооружения.

  

The Church of the Intercession on the Nerl, a UNESCO world heritage site.

When you write and say about this temple, usually cite the words of Igor Grabar, "the Church of the Intercession on the Nerl near Vladimir is not only the most perfect temple, created in Russia, but also one of the greatest monuments of world art".

The temple was erected in one year in 1165 by Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky.

In the days of his "youth" the temple looked different, and the hill-a pedestal, is the work of human hands.

The underground part of the temple is 5,30 m . At the mouth of the Nerl rose artificial hill, which has become the pedestal for the Church of the Intercession and protect it from the treacherous waters of the spring. The hill was covered with a shell of white stone slabs with gutters and stairs leading down to the Marina.

The proportions of the temple are unusually graceful and beautiful. Often this temple is compared with the image of maiden Here everything is directed on achieving maximal effect of slenderness and height. Many parts, subtle, very delicate, emphasize the vertical axis of the construction.

This was from the morning gathering at the lek* - these are Lesser Prairie Chickens (they don't have as much brown in them). They share territory in some areas.

*A Lek is a hill/or rise area where birds and animals gather to do their courting and sparking!

La Revolución de Mayo fue una serie de acontecimientos revolucionarios ocurridos en mayo de 1810 en la ciudad de Buenos Aires, capital del Virreinato del Río de la Plata, dependiente del rey de España, y que tuvieron como consecuencia la destitución del virrey Baltasar Hidalgo de Cisneros y su reemplazo por la Primera Junta de gobierno.

 

Los eventos de la Revolución de Mayo sucedieron durante el transcurso de la llamada Semana de Mayo, entre el 18 de mayo, fecha de la confirmación oficial de la caída de la Junta Suprema Central, y el 25 de mayo, fecha de asunción de la Primera Junta.

 

La Revolución de Mayo inició el proceso de surgimiento del Estado Argentino sin proclamación de la independencia formal, ya que la Primera Junta no reconocía la autoridad del Consejo de Regencia de España e Indias, pero aún gobernaba nominalmente en nombre del rey de España Fernando VII, quien había sido depuesto por las Abdicaciones de Bayona y su lugar ocupado por el francés José Bonaparte.

 

Juráis a Dios nuestro Señor y a estos Santos Evangelios reconocer la Junta Provisional Gubernativa de las provincia del Río de La Plata a nombre del Sr. D. Fernando Séptimo, y para guarda de sus augustos derechos, obedecer sus órdenes y decretos, y no atentar directa ni indirectamente contra su autoridad, propendiendo pública y privadamente a sus seguridad y respeto.

Todos juraron; y todos morirán antes que quebranten la sagrada obligación que se han impuesto. (Gaceta de Buenos Aires (1810-1821), 1910, p. 13)

Je tiens à préciser que TOUTES mes photographies sont faites dans le respect absolu de la tranquillité des animaux . Le fait qu'ils regardent parfois dans ma direction ne veut pas forcément dire qu'ils m'ont repéré .Cette Renarde à tranquillement muloté à peu de distance de ma tente d'affût que j'avais installée bien avant le lever du jour , durant deux heures , avec des aller/retours vers le terrier pour ramener son butin aux jeunes . Le terrier est forcément très proche , mais je ne sais pas ou il est pour la bonne raison que je ne l'ai pas cherché ...

Ce n'est pas car quelques photographes peu scrupuleux sont prêt à tout pour réussir "la" photo , que tous les photographes animalier sont pareils !

A bon entendeur ...

Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Enjoy!

The direct stare of a SIka stag commands respect. Native to much of East Asia, the Sika Deer is also known as the 'Spotted' or 'Japanese Deer', 'Shika' being Japanese for 'Deer'. The population in Dorset is believed to have swam here from nearby Brownsea Island. The coat of this male is tending towards the dark grey winter coat rather than the chestnut red with whitish spots of summr.

 

Thank you all for your kind responses.

The legendary King Arthur has a direct association with the Castle Rocks of St John, courtesy of Sir Walter Scott’s epic poem of 1813, Bridal of Triermain. The poem tells the story of a young knight named Roland de Vaux who falls in love with a mysterious woman named Gyneth, who is revealed to be a fairy queen. The story takes place in the scenic Vale of St. John, near the town of Triermain. Gwyneth resides in the castle there (Castle Rock).

 

Synopsis of the poem:

The Bridal of Triermain interweaves three stories, all with a Lake District setting: the eighteenth-century courtship of Arthur and Lucy, the Arthurian Legend of 'Lyulph's Tale', and the twelfth-century romance of Sir Roland de Vaux.

 

In order to warn his aristocratic lover Lucy against excessive maidenly pride, the low-born poet Arthur recites 'Lyulph's Tale' in cantos I-II. He tells how how King Arthur is seduced by the enchantress Guendolen. When he abandons the pregnant Guendolen to resume his kingly duties, she swears revenge. Sixteen years later, the fruit of their union, Gyneth appears at Camelot to remind Arthur of his promise that should he and Guendolen produce a daughter, she would wed the bravest of the Knights of the Round Table. Arthur declares a tournament with Gyneth's hand as the prize but instructs her to halt the combat before lives are lost. As the instrument of her mother's wrath, however, she does nothing to end the ferocious fighting, until Merlin arises from a chasm in the ground to punish her. She is sentenced to slumber in Guendolen's enchanted castle until awakened by a knight as brave as any of the Round Table.

 

The poet Arthur's courtship of Lucy proves successful and, following their marriage, Lucy begs him to tell of Gyneth's fate. In the third and final canto, then, he recounts the quest of the twelfth-century knight Sir Roland de Vaux of Triermain. He has heard Gyneth's legend and sets out to find the enchanted castle. Having located it in the Valley of Saint John, he successfully passes through a series of allegorical dangers and temptations (Fear, Avarice, Sensuality, Ambition) to awaken Gyneth from her five hundred-year sleep and win her hand.

De nuevo Atxabiribil, Sopelana (Bizkaia), en esa tarde de nubes grises potentes, viendo otro angulo de los posibles. Utilice un filtro ND 1.2 de Tiffen y un degradado 0.9 de Lee para dar ese aire de "fin del mundo" en el cielo. Con Photoshop aumente contraste y toque los niveles un pelin ya que estaba bastante bien de luz para mi gusto. Aumento de nitidez y filtro ruido para el cielo.
