... im letzten Moment ...
das Idiom 'at the eleventh hour' (zur elften Stunde) entspricht im Deutschen der Redewendung 'Kurz / Fünf vor Zwölf' oder 'in der letzten Sekunde / im letzten Moment'
... bildlich konnte ich nur eine der Uhrzeiten darstellen, daher die Entscheidung für die 11-Uhr-Stellung :)
für die Gruppe Verrückter Dienstag - Thema: Zeit
Einen schönen Dienstag euch allen ... und bleibt gesund !

Instead of driving directly from Abbeville to Blonville Sur Mer we made a side trip to visit Jumièges Abbey. I am glad we did it's a remarkable ruin that sits in one of the bends of the River Seine west of Rouen . I particularly liked the delicate towers that reminded me of buildings I have seen it Italy . It has quite a history too.
The abbey was founded in 654 on a gift of forested land belonging to the royal family presented by Clovis II and his queen, Balthild. Under the second abbot, Saint Achard, Jumièges prospered and soon numbered nearly a thousand monks.
In the ninth century it was pillaged and burnt to the ground by the Vikings, but was rebuilt on a grander scale by William Longespee, Duke of Normandy. A new church was consecrated in 1067 in the presence of William the Conqueror.
Enjoying the patronage of the dukes of Normandy, the abbey became a great centre of religion and learning, its schools producing, amongst many other scholars, the national historian, William of Jumièges. It reached the zenith of its fame about the eleventh century, and was regarded as a model for all the monasteries of the province.
The church was enlarged in 1256, and again restored in 1573.
The fortunes of the abbey suffered somewhat through the English invasion of the fifteenth century, but it recovered and maintained its prosperity and high position until the whole province was devastated by the Huguenots during the Wars of Religion.
The French Revolution, ended its existence as a monastery, leaving only impressive ruins. These comprise the church, with its beautiful twin towers and western façade, and portions of the cloisters and library, the contents of which were removed to Rouen when the abbey was dissolved. In the middle of the former cloister, there is still a 500-year-old yew tree.

In the course of the centuries so much has been built, demolished and carpeted at Heeswijk Castle that medieval builders today would have great difficulty recognizing their castle. Heeswijk may be a construction history jumble, it is still a large, imposing and beautifully situated complex that can rightfully be considered as one of the important medieval castles of North Brabant.
To begin with, there is the respectable age of perhaps around 950 years. The history of Heeswijk Castle goes back at least to the first half of the twelfth century, and possibly even further, to the end of the eleventh century. First, a motteburcht arose on this site, that is to say an artificially raised hill, 6 to 7 meters high, between 25 and 30 meters in diameter and surrounded by a moat. A tufa stone reinforcement was built on that hill, probably in the form of a tower.
In the fourteenth century that tower was no longer sufficient. Then, in stages, the construction of the brick late-medieval castle began, of which considerable parts are still standing today.
However, Heeswijk is not only interesting because of its long history. Hein Hundertmark, who investigated the building history of the castle, points out that from that fourteenth-century rebuilding until well into the nineteenth century, Heeswijk was always at the forefront of architectural architecture. The owners and builders constantly led the way in adapting the castle to changing circumstances.
This applies to the ambitious fourteenth and fifteenth century construction phases, whereby the castle was adapted to, among other things, the development of gunpowder guns. But also for the sixteenth and seventeenth-century conversion of a defensible castle into a representative noble residence. All things considered, it is no less true of the romantic dream that inspired Baron Van den Bogaerde of Terbrugge and his sons in the nineteenth century to neo-gothic extensions and additions, including the incorporation of all kinds of building fragments into the exterior facades. Heeswijk also set a trend in this neo-gothic adaptation.
Only after the Second World War was this line of progressiveness broken. For the last owner, the architectural legacy of his nineteenth-century ancestors was an annoying "romantic madness." He wanted the castle to return to a sober medieval aesthetic. It is therefore all the more spicy that the restoration of Heeswijk, which had to bring about this, ended in a castle with a predominantly eighteenth-century appearance.
A few posts ago I included an exterior shot of Durham Cathedral . This is a shot of the Nave of the cathedral . You can see the massive pillars that hold up the ceiling of this Norman Church. In this shot the carving on the pillars is of lozenge design some of the other pillars use a motif of chevrons . There are rather a lot of people on the shot but the young woman in front of the pillar shows its scale quite well
Durham Cathedral is one measure of the swift and profound transformation brought about by the Norman Conquest in England in the eleventh and twelfth centuries: not only a new art and architectural style—what is variously referred to as Anglo-Norman or English Romanesque—but an unprecedented and almost military-industrial mode of construction.
The Cathedral was built between the late 11th and early 12th century to house the bodies of St. Cuthbert (634-687 AD) (the evangeliser of Northumbria) and the Venerable Bede (672/3-735 AD). It attests to the importance of the early Benedictine monastic community and is the largest and finest example of Norman architecture in England. The innovative audacity of its vaulting foreshadowed Gothic architecture. The Cathedral lies within the precinct of Durham Castle, first constructed in the late eleventh century under the orders of William the Conqueror.

** Bayeux Cathedral is a beautiful Gothic-Romanesque church with an interesting history. The Norman-Romanesque church was dedicated in 1077 by Bishop Odo in the presence of his half-brother William the Conqueror, king of England and duke of Normandy. The Bayeux Tapestry was possible commissioned to be displayed at the opening of the church to remind the Normans of the conquest of England and that William was justified to punish Harold and claim the English throne for himself.
The church was badly damaged by fire in the thirteenth century . The crypt is the only surviving part of the the original eleventh century church. For two hundred years the crypt was abandoned and partially filled in. It was only fully restored in the nineteenth century. The crypt has Corinthian columns and vaulting from the 11th century while the paintings of angels are from the 13th century.

This is the eleventh photo of my rain series from Prague. I took this photo series on the Charles bridge during a heavy rain.
This particular photo is both new and old. I have presented a photo of the lady with the broken umbrella before but this time it is masked in to another scene that is identical to the first scene but with no other people in it but her. It bugged me for a long time that I had to crop the photo of her really hard in order to eliminate other people from the picture until I found a photo of the same scene with no people in it and understood that I could mask her in to that scene instead :)
If you like this there is ten more from the same episode in my album "Prague rain series" Se below.
P.S. I have not used selective color. It is a color photo.
Thank you for viewing!

Abacab is the eleventh studio album by English rock band Genesis, released on 18 September 1981 by Charisma Records. After their 1980 tour in support of their previous album, Duke (1980), the band took a break before they reconvened in 1981 to write and record a new album. Abacab is the first Genesis album recorded at The Farm, a recording studio bought by the group in Chiddingfold, Surrey. It marked the band's development from their progressive roots into more accessible and pop-oriented songs, and their conscious decision to write songs unlike their previous albums.
The title is taken from the structure of an early version of the song. Guitarist Mike Rutherford explained in an interview in 2006: [There are] three bits of music in "Abacab" and we refer to them as 'bit A', [correcting self] 'Section A', 'Section B', and 'Section C'. And at different times they were in a different order. We'd start with section A and then have section C and then have section [pauses] and at one point in time, it spelt "ABACAB". And you've got the final version where it's not that at all, it's like "ACACACUCUBUBUGA".
Eleventh and last image in this Horicon Marsh Magic series...
The golden light of the rising sun was finally shining through
thick fog of the marsh as this Sandhill Crane took flight.
I was thrilled to capture this massive bird flying above the wetland grasses.
Thanks so much for joining me on this long Marsh series. Your views and comments have been so encouraging.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Eleventh and last image in this long Autumn Orange series...
Sitting proudly on an old branch and in front of a canopy of orange leaves, this Bald eagle allowed me to fire off a few shots before he lifted off and took to the skies.
It wasn't until I looked at this image on my computer that I realized just how striking the leaves were behind the bird. These big eagles are awesome on their own, but add the orange leaves of autumn and it goes to another level.
Thanks for joining me on this series. Your views and comments were much appreciated!
Tournus is a pretty town just north of Macon sitting on the banks of the River Saone . The town has a lot of historic though its jewel is the eleventh century church of St. Philibert, the main surviving building of a former Benedictine abbey, the Abbey of St. Philibert,
The earliest parts of the church are eleventh century. It is in the style of the early First Romanesque style of Burgundy. The barrelled ceiling is held up by massive columns . A note on the colour of the building there is not a colour cast the stone of this church has an unusual tones soft pink.

The church at Salagon priory in Mane was built during the eleventh century from local limestone. It has all the hallmarks of Provençal Romanesque style, containing Corinthian-style columns decorated with acanthus leaves, as well as sculpted panels depicting people and animals.
The interior of the church is illuminated by six stained glass windows from the artist Aurélie Nemours. Installed in 1998, they bathe the church in a light which the artist describes as "the purest red". Salagon, together with Ganagobie monastery near Lurs, was listed as a historic monument in 1981.
SEPTEMBER ELEVENTH IN CAMPRODON (2020)
EL ONCE DE SEPTIEMBRE EN CAMPRODON (2020)
CATALÀ
La Diada Nacional de Catalunya o Diada de l'11 de Setembre és la festa nacional de Catalunya i es commemora anualment recordant la darrera defensa de Barcelona l'11 de setembre de 1714 per part dels últims vigatanistes que defenien al monarca Habsburg de la casa d'Austria que respectava un model descentralitzat i prometia defendre les institucions local davant les forces que suportaven la monarquia borbònica i un model d'estat centralitzat.
ENGLISH
The National Day of Catalonia (Catalan: Diada Nacional de Catalunya is a day-long festival in Catalonia and one of its official national symbols, celebrated annually on 11 September. It commemorates the fall of Barcelona during the War of the Spanish Succession in 1714 and the subsequent loss of Catalan institutions and laws.
ESPAÑOL
El Día Once de Septiembre (en catalán Diada de l'Onze de Setembre, Diada Nacional de Catalunya, o simplemente Diada), también llamado Día de Cataluña, Día Nacional de Cataluña, Fiesta Nacional de Cataluña, o simplemente Diada, es la fiesta oficial de Cataluña, comunidad autónoma española.
Se conmemora la caída de Barcelona en manos de las tropas borbónicas al mando del duque de Berwick durante la guerra de sucesión española el 11 de septiembre de 1714, tras catorce meses de sitio. Esta victoria conllevó la abolición de las instituciones catalanas tras la promulgación de los Decretos de Nueva Planta, en 1716.
El Parlamento de Cataluña declaró el día Fiesta Nacional catalana en su primera ley tras su restablecimiento, en 1980. El artículo 8.1 del Estatuto de Autonomía de 2006 declara: «Cataluña, definida como nacionalidad en el artículo primero, tiene como símbolos nacionales la bandera, la fiesta y el himno». El artículo 8.3 establece: «La fiesta de Cataluña es el Día Once de Septiembre»

Found myself standing next to a soybean field the other evening in utter awe as this jaw-dropping sunset unfolded before my eyes. Not just the incredible color saturation, but the random chain of events that brought me here at this precise moment in time. A couple of minutes either way, and even a hundred yards in either direction and I would have missed the moment entirely. It often seems like I have to be in a very specific place and time to see the things I see, or at least in the way that I see them. It's another strong argument for staying observant and mobile as much as possible. It's not like I get text alerts on my phone about impending life moments. It's always up to me to go find them.
Back in the moment, I was amazed at the speed with which the color literally erupted. Probably less than a minute, and certainly in the realm of "right before my very eyes". And suddenly there it is and you really can't quite believe what you are seeing. There's often a spiritual quality to sunrise-sunset. To me it's enhanced by the sheer silence of the spectacle. Not to mention the desolation of the bean field and being the only one here to witness the scene.
The moment passed as suddenly as it began. The sun quickly dipped below the horizon and the rich color just evaporated. Only a fading orange glow was left to make the spot.
Wakering Photography Group 12 Month Challenge 2017.
This is my eleventh image of twelve, the view is looking South from the Southend Road Great Wakering (Locally known as the Oldbury Road) towards North Shoebury Essex.
The building in the centre of the farmland is an old pumping station which I believe is not in use at this present time.
I used a Hoya Pro 1 Digital Circular Polariser a Lee 0.9 Pro Glass Neutral Density Filter plus a Lee 0.75 Neutral Density Graduated Filter and a Lee Twilight Filter.
The low winter sun lit the fields up nicely, there was a light Northerly breeze, the temperature was -4 but very dry with little ground frost.
The reason I picked this location is quite often we have some dramatic skies looking South beyond Shoeburyness and over the Thames Estuary.
Please view my 2017 album to compare all the images, thank you.
To all my Flickr friends and contacts, I apologise for my absence, I have been extremely busy, I really appreciate your very kind support, I hope to get out with the camera a lot more in the coming weeks.
Witnessing 25 years of sunrises along the former Ohio and Mississippi in southern Indiana is soon coming to an end. Why CSX is replacing signals on a segment of track that sees one train a day is questionable but it's still amazing they lasted this long.
Cannaregio one of the six sestieri of Venice in Veneto, Italy.
Cannaregio is the northernmost of the six historic sestieri (districts) of Venice. It is the second largest sestiere by land area and the largest by population, with 13,169 people as of 2007. Isola di San Michele, the historic cemetery island, is associated with the district.
The Cannaregio Canal, which was the main route into the city until the construction of a railway link to the mainland, gave the district its name (Canal Regio is Italian for Royal Canal). Development began in the eleventh century as the area was drained and parallel canals were dredged. Although elegant palazzos were built facing the Grand Canal, the area grew primarily with working class housing and manufacturing. Beginning in 1516, Jews were restricted to living in the Venetian Ghetto.
It was enclosed by guarded gates and no one was allowed to leave from sunset to dawn. However, Jews held successful positions in the city such as merchants, physicians, money lenders, and other trades. Restrictions on daily Jewish life continued for more than 270 years, until Napoleon Bonaparte conquered the Venetian Republic in 1797. He removed the gates and gave all residents the freedom to live where they chose.
In the 19th century, civil engineers built a street named Strada Nuova through Cannaregio, and a railway bridge and road bridge were constructed to connect Venice directly to Mestre. Today, the areas of the district along the Grand Canal from the train station to the Rialto Bridge are packed with tourists, but the rest of Cannaregio is residential and relatively peaceful, with morning markets, neighbourhood shops, and small cafés.

It was the end of our eleventh day in Iceland, and we knew that the weather forecast for the twelfth looked pretty terrible. With only two days left after that, one of which would involve around a hundred fifty miles driving towards the west, the clock was beginning to run down on what had been a very successful trip, and one that I knew would have me working on the output for many months beyond, if not years. We’d returned to Reynisfjara for our final session before darkness arrived, and with the following day promising little more than a long time indoors in front of the television (the day of our late Queen’s funeral in fact), I wanted to make the most of things now. It was the second time today I’d stood here regarding the scene in front of me, and while the light didn’t have the colours and warmth of the previous evening when we’d arrived at nearby Vík, there were textures in the racing clouds and on the darkening sand that made me feel a long exposure shot to draw out the mood of the occasion was worth taking. Lee didn’t agree, and after muttering at length about the lack of colours in the sky, turned heel and made for the car. I told him I’d be some time. But then again I probably didn’t need to - he knows me well enough. There was business at hand in both directions along the beach as far as I was concerned and I wasn’t in a hurry to head for the warmth of the hotel just yet.
In fact I only took five shots in this direction. Or rather I took the same shot five times, as I continued to scan the sky for that hint of magenta that always seemed to be planning an appearance but never quite making one. Even the faintest tinge would probably have found me making merry with the saturation sliders in the editing suite, but in retrospect I’m glad my options were reduced to simple high contrast black and white forms on the almost completely empty beach, and the possible pitfalls of colourful chaos were avoided. By now, only a few sightseers remained, and they were all a long way behind me on the other side of the beach near the stacks of Reynisdrangar. In these moments I might have been the last human alive, gazing out at this familiar yet unworldly scene, the low flat monolith, land stolen from the ocean and thrust up above the surrounding space by mysterious geological forces, its attendant collection of rocks resembling a crudely designed submarine rising above the waves to guard the southern coast. And with the five shots on the SD card, I turned the camera in the opposite direction and pointed it at Reynisdrangar’s mighty sea stacks. It was getting dark by the time I was working at settings none of us particularly relish, especially with the telephoto lens. But that’s another story.
I don’t mind admitting the edit was a bit of a struggle. It took quite a lot of work before I began to love the image I was working on as I gently pushed and pulled the masks, but when it suddenly clicked and the final crop brought the scene closer to me on the big screen, the effort seemed worthwhile. Somewhere along the editing process, one of those horrible haloes had blemished the outline of the promontory and sea stacks of Dyrhólaey, and when the culprit was found among the layers, I groaned in the knowledge that a certain amount of cleaning was about to take place to banish the gremlins from the scene. And although the tiny white edges that bled from every contrasting edge were barely visible at all unless I started zooming in, I knew they were there. They had to go, whether the viewer might see them or not.
As I so often do, I asked Ali whether she thought the colour or monochrome version of events told the story better, and her view confirmed my own. Black and white it was, just as I’d envisioned when I stood behind the tripod and dragged out the six stop filter that evening. And when the finished image takes you right back to the moment and reminds you how you felt when you were there, that seems like a good thing to me.

Iapetus (Greek: Ιαπετός), or occasionally Japetus, is the third-largest natural satellite of Saturn, eleventh-largest in the Solar System, and the largest body in the Solar System known not to be in hydrostatic equilibrium. Iapetus is best known for its dramatic "two-tone" coloration. Discoveries by the Cassini mission in 2007 revealed several other unusual features, such as a massive equatorial ridge running three-quarters of the way around the moon.
