This photograph was taken at Upper Seletar Reservoir. There were colourful cloud formations with reflections in the reservoir. The small jetty and boats in the foreground provided locational reference for this colourful landscape.

 

A lady was seen standing next to the jetty admiring the dusk landscape and appeared to be exalting the beautiful moment.

 

Best wishes for a wonderful new week.

Mientras subíamos hacia la Acrópolis repasamos la historia de estas ruinas y contemplábamos Atenas que 1400 años antes de Cristo ya tenia gran cantidad de habitantes que fueron aumentando hasta llegar a 250.000 en el siglo V ,

El que se denominó "el Siglo de Pericles," Fue un político que marcó con letras de oro su paso por el poder.

Impulsó la democracia, se rodeó de artistas y escritores que exaltaban el esplendor de Atenas, embelleció la ciudad con el dinero aportado por los aliados y las ciencias recibieron un especial trato. También reconstruyó la Acrópolis, mandó construir el templo de Niké y el Erecteion y, el símbolo de Atenas, el Partenón.

The Redhead Down the Hall

~Timothy McGuire~

 

Magnetic fascination

Provokes intoxication

As I feel deeply compelled

To exalt admiration

From the Redhead

Who lives down the hall

 

I feel deeply compelled

To be dreaming

Of the redhead

With the creamy white skin

And intoxicating green eyes

Who lives down the hall

"La primera vez que vio la isla, Marini estaba cortésmente inclinado sobre los asientos de la izquierda, ajustando la mesa de plástico antes de instalar la bandeja del almuerzo. La pasajera lo había mirado varias veces mientras él iba y venía con revistas o vasos de whisky; Marini se demoraba ajustando la mesa, preguntándose aburridamente si valdría la pena responder a la mirada insistente de la pasajera, una americana de las muchas, cuando en el óvalo azul de la ventanilla entró el litoral de la isla, la franja dorada de la playa, las colinas que subían hacia la meseta desolada. Corrigiendo la posición defectuosa del vaso de cerveza, Marini sonrió a la pasajera. «Las islas griegas», dijo. «Oh, yes, Greece», repuso la americana con un falso interés. Sonaba brevemente un timbre y el steward se enderezó sin que la sonrisa profesional se borrara de su boca de labios finos. Empezó a ocuparse de un matrimonio sirio que quería jugo de tomate, pero en la cola del avión se concedió unos segundos para mirar otra vez hacia abajo; la isla era pequeña y solitaria, y el Egeo la rodeaba con un intenso azul que exaltaba la orla de un blanco deslumbrante y como petrificado, que allá abajo sería espuma rompiendo en los arrecifes y las caletas. Marini vio que las playas desiertas corrían hacia el norte y el oeste, lo demás era la montaña entrando a pique en el mar. Una isla rocosa y desierta, aunque la mancha plomiza cerca de la playa del norte podía ser una casa, quizá un grupo de casas primitivas. Empezó a abrir la lata de jugo, y al enderezarse la isla se borró de la ventanilla; no quedó más que el mar, un verde horizonte interminable. Miró su reloj pulsera sin saber por qué; era exactamente mediodía".

Fragmento de La isla a mediodía, de Julio Cortázar.

 

Mirando desde la ventanilla del avión cuando te acercas a una isla es imposible no acordarse de este maravilloso cuento.

la saison pluvieuse et morne nous révèle des moments d'une exaltation intense - à nous de saisir le moment!

Nymphe, se revêtant toujours

de ce qui la dénude,

que ton corps s'exalte pour

l'onde ronde et rude.

 

Sans repos tu changes d'habit,

même de chevelure ;

derrière tant de fuite, ta vie

reste présence pure.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Une rencontre inattendue et ô combien exaltante ...

 

Alors que je roulais au pas, soleil en pleine face, je distingue un rapace posté sur un poteau électrique mais en passant à sa hauteur un truc m'alerte, j'entrevoie du blanc au niveau du cou, je m'arête quelques mètres plus loin et saisi prestement mes jumelles 😮😮😮 P... c'est un Élanion.

Inutile de préciser que mon cœur s'emballe, wow ce qu'il est beau !!!

J’effectue un demi tour un peu plus loin, vise avec mes jumelles, ouf il est toujours là :-) et reviens vers lui tout en douceur, je commence à prendre quelques clichés mais de beaucoup trop loin pour une image acceptable mais petit à petit je me rapproche il ne bronche pas, j'ai la tremblote et bien sûr je foire les premiers déclenchements.

je m'engueule un peu ... Cathie déconne pas, calme toi et respire

Bien évidemment une voiture passe par là et mon bel oiseau s'envole mais se poste sur le poteau suivant.

S'ensuit une merveilleuse demie-heure d'observation ...

L'art aussi est un mouvement qui exalte et nie en même temps. "Aucun artiste ne tolère le réel", dit Nietzsche. Il est vrai ; mais aucun artiste ne peut se passer du réel. La création est exigence d'unité et refus du monde à cause de ce qui lui manque et au nom de ce que, parfois, il est.

Palacio del Marqués de Santa Cruz, Viso del Marqués, Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha, España.

 

El palacio del Marqués de Santa Cruz es un edificio situado en el municipio de Viso del Marqués (Ciudad Real), en la Comunidad autónoma de Castilla-La Mancha, en España. Fue construido a finales del siglo XVI por Álvaro de Bazán, primer marqués de Santa Cruz. Actualmente es la sede del Archivo General de la Marina.

 

Fue construido entre 1564 y 1586 con modificaciones posteriores, y se trata de un edificio de planta cuadrada y estilo renacentista articulado en torno a un atrio renacentista con una tumba yacente. Los muros y techos se hallan cubiertos de frescos de doble temática: por un lado, escenas mitológicas y, por otro, batallas navales y ciudades italianas relacionadas con la trayectoria militar del marqués y de sus familiares. Los frescos se deben a unos pintores manieristas italianos, los Péroli. Al verlos, Felipe II les encargaría trabajos para El Escorial y el Alcázar de Toledo.

 

Para levantarlo, el marqués contrató a un equipo de arquitectos, pintores y decoradores que trabajaron en la obra desde 1564 hasta 1586. Para algunos, el diseño del edificio se debió al italiano Giovanni Battista Castello, conocido como el Bergamasco, que más tarde trabajó en El Escorial; para otros lo trazó, al menos en su plan original, Enrique Egas el Mozo.

 

La arquitectura se percibe como típica española, sin las arquerías italianas, con paramentos lisos y torres cuadradas en las esquinas, influidos por la austeridad de El Escorial y el Alcázar de Toledo, dentro de las relaciones armónicas características del Renacimiento. El espacio central está ocupado por un patio porticado que junto con la escalera forma un conjunto típicamente manierista entendido como estilo elegante y cortesano que desborda el marco meramente arquitectónico. Contaba con cuatro torres que, al parecer, se derrumbaron a consecuencia del Terremoto de Lisboa de 1755.

 

Las paredes están decoradas con 8.000 metros cuadrados de frescos manieristas elaborados por Giovanni Battista Peroli con Esteban Peroli y César de Bellis. Todos trabajaron para crear un espacio erigido a la mayor gloria de su dueño: por un lado, había que exaltar sus virtudes militares, y por el otro, enaltecer su linaje. Para lo primero, se pintaron en las paredes, las bóvedas y los techos del palacio vistas de ciudades y de puertos, así como los baluartes y las batallas en los que había conquistado su inmenso prestigio. A ambos lados de la escalera se ubicaron dos estatuas en las que aparecía representado como Neptuno (dios de los mares, con su tridente) y como Marte (dios de la guerra), y sobre las puertas del piso superior se colocaron los fanales de popa de las naves capitanas vencidas en las batallas, que eran los trofeos de los marinos. Para elogiar su linaje, y siguiendo la misma tradición renacentista de representar a hombres como dioses o semidioses de la antigüedad, se pintó a los antepasados del marqués y a sus esposas (tuvo dos) e hijos.

 

Estos dos grupos de representaciones se aderezaron con trampantojos, pinturas que simulaban puertas, columnas y otros elementos decorativos y arquitectónicos; y también con motivos grutescos que incluían animales mitológicos, sabandijas y follajes. Conforme una temática muy variada que se puede interpretar como defensa del catolicismo defendido en Trento.

 

Las estatuas sepulcrales de Alonso de Bazán (hermano de don Álvaro) y su esposa María de Figueroa, son el único ejemplo de escultura funeraria perteneciente al primer tercio del siglo XVII. Fueron ejecutados para el Monasterio de la Concepción que ocupaba la Comunidad de Religiosas Franciscas de El Viso del Marqués, ubicándose a día de hoy en el muro del Palacio más cercano a los jardines. Su creador fue Antonio de Riera, escultor relacionado con la corte de origen catalán. En ellas, aparecen los marqueses en actitud de orante, arrodillados en un reclinatorio, todo ello en mármol blanco que resalta sobre el mármol negro de los nichos. Se advierte en ellos cierta similitud con la elegancia y el clasicismo de los Leoni, a pesar de cierta rigidez formal, siendo de especial relevancia la forma en la que están ejecutadas las telas y el detalle de los vestidos.

 

The Palace of the Marquis of Santa Cruz is a building located in the municipality of Viso del Marqués (Ciudad Real), in the autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. It was built in the late 16th century by Álvaro de Bazán, the first Marquis of Santa Cruz. It currently houses the General Archive of the Navy.

 

Built between 1564 and 1586, with subsequent modifications, it is a square, Renaissance-style building centered around a Renaissance atrium with a recumbent tomb. The walls and ceilings are covered with frescoes depicting two themes: mythological scenes, and naval battles and Italian cities related to the military career of the Marquis and his family. The frescoes are by Italian Mannerist painters, the Pérolis. Upon seeing them, Philip II commissioned works from them for El Escorial and the Alcázar of Toledo.

 

To build it, the Marquis hired a team of architects, painters, and decorators who worked on the project from 1564 to 1586. Some believe the building was designed by the Italian Giovanni Battista Castello, known as El Bergamasco, who later worked at El Escorial; others believe it was designed, at least in its original plan, by Enrique Egas the Younger.

 

The architecture is perceived as typically Spanish, lacking the Italian arches, with smooth walls and square towers at the corners, influenced by the austerity of El Escorial and the Alcázar of Toledo, within the harmonious relationships characteristic of the Renaissance. The central space is occupied by a porticoed courtyard that, together with the staircase, forms a typically Mannerist ensemble, understood as an elegant and courtly style that transcends the purely architectural framework. It had four towers that apparently collapsed as a result of the Lisbon Earthquake of 1755.

 

The walls are decorated with 8,000 square meters of Mannerist frescoes created by Giovanni Battista Peroli with Esteban Peroli and César de Bellis. They all worked to create a space built to the greatest glory of its owner: on the one hand, to exalt his military virtues, and on the other, to honor his lineage. To this end, views of cities and ports, as well as the bastions and battles in which he had earned his immense prestige, were painted on the walls, vaults, and ceilings of the palace. On either side of the staircase were two statues depicting him as Neptune (god of the seas, with his trident) and Mars (god of war). Above the doors on the upper floor were the stern lanterns of defeated flagships, trophies of the sailors. To praise his lineage, and following the same Renaissance tradition of depicting men as gods or demigods of antiquity, the marquis's ancestors, his wives (he had two) and children were painted.

 

These two groups of representations were embellished with trompe l'oeil paintings simulating doors, columns, and other decorative and architectural elements; as well as grotesque motifs that included mythological animals, vermin, and foliage. This varied theme can be interpreted as a defense of the Catholicism championed in Trent.

 

The sepulchral statues of Alonso de Bazán (Don Álvaro's brother) and his wife María de Figueroa are the only examples of funerary sculpture dating from the first third of the 17th century. They were executed for the Monastery of the Concepción, which was occupied by the Community of Franciscan Nuns of El Viso del Marqués, and are now located on the wall of the Palace closest to the gardens. Their creator was Antonio de Riera, a sculptor of Catalan origin associated with the court. They depict the marquises in a prayerful attitude, kneeling on a prie-dieu. All in white marble, which stands out against the black marble of the niches. There is a certain similarity to the elegance and classicism of the Leoni family, despite their formal rigidity, with the execution of the fabrics and the detail of the dresses being particularly noteworthy.

Le Palais Longchamp, créé pour fêter l’arrivée de l’eau via le canal de Marseille, exalte cet élément à travers son architecture et sa composition. Le problème de l’eau a longtemps été majeur à Marseille. Le 8 juillet 1947, les eaux arrivent sur le plateau Longchamp depuis la Durance. Du coup, c’est tout Marseille qui se transforme. C’est à cette occasion que l’architecte Henry Espérandieu (à qui l’on doit notamment la Basilique Notre Dame de la Garde) dessine un projet ambitieux comprenant une fontaine monumentale entourée de deux ailes tout aussi imposantes. L’aile gauche abrite le Muséum d’Histoire Naturelle qui abrite quantité de curiosités du XVIIIè, tandis que l’aile droite accueille le Musée des Beaux-Arts qui conserve des peintures, des sculptures datant du XVIè au XIXè siècle. C’est le plus vieux musée marseillais ! Il est en effet ouvert depuis 1801.

Deux escaliers contournent la fontaine permettant d’accéder aux musées mais aussi aux trois jardins situés de l’autre côté.

La clara muchedumbre de un poniente

ha exaltado la calle,

la calle abierta como un ancho sueño

hacia cualquier azar.

La límpida arboleda

pierde el último pájaro, el oro último.

La mano jironada de un mendigo

agrava la tristeza de la tarde.

 

El silencio que habita los espejos

ha forzado su cárcel.

La oscuridad es la sangre

de las cosas heridas.

En el incierto ocaso

la tarde mutilada

fue unos pobres colores.

Los días 27 y 28 de Octubre, coincidiendo con la celebración del día del tren en el Museo del Ferrocarril, la AAFM permitió que los aficionados pudiéramos disfrutar de su material, exaltando el nuevo traje que lucen la 333.107 y el BBR-9850; pero sobre todo, nos permitió disfrutar de de composiciones de maqueta como esta, que en pleno 2018 sigue siendo algo difícil de creer, pero que gracias al duro trabajo de unos cuantos aficionados, es posible.

En la foto la 333.107 remolca al BBR-9850 junto a la gata hacia Santa Catalina, donde ésta última le tomaría el relevo a la 333 para continuar hasta Fuencarral con el traslado junto con unos coches de la AZAFT.

« Le vitrail est exaltant, il lui faut de la gravité, de la passion. Il doit vivre à travers la lumière perçue. »

 

Marc Chagall, le "Passeur de lumière" explore l’importance de la lumière et du vitrail dans l’œuvre de l’artiste. Au terme de près de 30 ans de création de vitraux, ces mots de Chagall condensent le rôle que l’artiste assignait à l’art du vitrail : porter à l’humanité un message de spiritualité et de lumière intérieure.

El monasterio fue mandado construir por los Reyes Católicos tras haber vencido en la batalla de Toro en el año 1476, con el propósito de que fuera el mausoleo real donde se enterrasen a su muerte.

Se construyó entre los años 1477 y 1526 por el arquitecto Juan Guas y su estilo es gótico flamígero. Consta de un bello claustro de dos plantas, y la iglesia es la primera que tiene claustro a los pies, tradición que perdurará en España durante siglos. La decoración exalta los símbolos de los Reyes Católicos con un amplio programa propagandístico, con la leyenda "Tanto monta" y el águila, el yugo y las flechas entre otros.

1 "The Lord reigns, the peoples tremble!

He sits enthroned above the cherubim, the earth quakes!

2 The Lord is great in Zion,

And He is exalted above all the peoples.

3 May they praise Your great and awesome name;

Holy is He.

4 The strength of the King loves justice;

You have established order;

You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.

5 Exalt the Lord our God

And worship at His footstool;

Holy is He.

6 Moses and Aaron were among His priests,

And Samuel was among those who called on His name;

They called upon the Lord and He answered them.

7 He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud;

They kept His testimonies

And the statute that He gave them.

8 Lord our God, You answered them;

You were a forgiving God to them,

And yet an avenger of their evil deeds.

9 Exalt the Lord our God

And worship at His holy hill,

For the Lord our God is holy."

The Duomo of Firenze has always been considered a public place, by the Fiorentines, and exalts its illustrious men. For many years the 4 side doors of the church were open for the free passage of people who would simply like to cross the square.

“I will hold her in My arms and she will burn with Your love, and with eternal delight she will exalt Your goodness. . . . By these words the world was created, a palace for the bride.”

-St. John of the Cross, Romances 3 and 4, Creation, KR, pp. 726-27.

Dios dice: “El regreso de Jesús es una gran salvación para aquellos que son capaces de aceptar la verdad, pero para los que son incapaces de hacerlo es una señal de condenación. Debéis elegir vuestro propio camino y no blasfemar contra el Espíritu Santo ni rechazar la verdad. No debéis ser personas ignorantes y arrogantes, sino alguien que obedece la dirección del Espíritu Santo, que anhela y busca la verdad; sólo así os beneficiaréis. Os aconsejo que andéis con cuidado por el camino de la creencia en Dios. No saquéis conclusiones apresuradas; más aún, no seáis despreocupados y descuidados en vuestra creencia en Dios. Deberíais saber que, como mínimo, los que creen en Dios deben ser humildes y reverenciales. Los que han oído la verdad pero la miran con desdén son insensatos e ignorantes. Los que han oído la verdad, pero sacan conclusiones precipitadas o la condenan a la ligera, están asediados por la arrogancia. Nadie que crea en Jesús es apto para maldecir o condenar a otros. Deberíais ser todos racionales y aceptar la verdad. Quizás, habiendo oído el camino de la verdad y leído la palabra de vida, creas que sólo una de cada 10.000 de estas palabras está en sintonía con tus convicciones y con la Biblia, y entonces deberías seguir buscando en esa diezmilésima parte de esas palabras. Sigo aconsejándote que seas humilde, no te confíes demasiado y no te exaltes mucho. Con esta exigua reverencia por Dios en tu corazón, obtendrás mayor luz. Si examinas detenidamente y contemplas repetidamente estas palabras, entenderás si son o no la verdad, y si son o no la vida. Quizás, habiendo leído sólo unas pocas frases, algunas personas condenarán ciegamente estas palabras, diciendo: ‘Esto no es nada más que algún esclarecimiento del Espíritu Santo’, o ‘Este es un falso Cristo que ha venido a engañar a la gente’. ¡Los que dicen tales cosas están cegados por la ignorancia! ¡Entiendes demasiado poco de la obra y de la sabiduría de Dios, y te aconsejo que empieces de nuevo desde cero! No debéis condenar ciegamente las palabras expresadas por Dios debido a la aparición de falsos Cristos durante los últimos días ni ser personas que blasfeman contra el Espíritu Santo, porque teméis al engaño. ¿No sería esto una gran lástima? Si, después de mucho examen, sigues creyendo que estas palabras no son la verdad, no son el camino ni la expresión de Dios, entonces serás castigado en última instancia y te quedarás sin bendiciones. Si no puedes aceptar esa verdad hablada de forma tan llana y clara, ¿no eres indigno entonces de la salvación de Dios? ¿No eres alguien sin la fortuna suficiente como para regresar ante el trono de Dios? ¡Piensa en ello! No seas imprudente e impetuoso, y no trates la creencia en Dios como un juego. Piensa en el bien de tu destino, en el bien de tus perspectivas, en el bien de tu vida, y no juegues contigo mismo. ¿Puedes aceptar estas palabras?” (“En el momento que contemples el cuerpo espiritual de Jesús, Dios ya habrá vuelto a crear el cielo y la tierra”)."

He rules by His power forever;

Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves.

Psalm 66:7

i will exalt you

i will exalt you

i will exalt you

..you are my God.

 

please listen to this, and watch this. please do this right now.

 

i just want you all to know. that i do this for Him.

in everything i create.

isn't it the most amazing thing that the very first creator....the one who created everything...

is still creating?

today... through us. if we allow him to.

There is no greater satisfaction than living for the glory of God.

it is not binding or boring.

it is the most thrilling and beautiful and crazy and fulfilling and hopeful and amazing life.

i do this, this thing called living...for Him.

and in my heart,

i am passionate about the things he created me to be passionate about.

in all of us are passions. maybe not all the same....because we all perform different functions in the body of humanity.

but i just want you to pursue your passions.

please....its what he created you to do.

if you deny these things, you are walking in disobedience to your maker.

he wants to bless you and show you how good life can be.

just let him.

The universe itself is God and the universal outpouring of its soul. --Chrysippus (Quoted by Cicero in De Natura Deorum)

 

Best wishes on your Epic Odyssey!

 

Homer: Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who traveled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy. Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home. . . --Homer's Odyssey, Book I

 

Photographs available as epic fine art luxury prints. For prints and licensing information, please send me a flickr mail or contact drelliot@gmail.com with your queries! All the best on your Epic Hero's Odyssey!

Ralph Waldo Emerson. The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship.

 

Lucius Annaeus Seneca: On entering a temple we assume all signs of reverence. How much more reverent then should we be before the heavenly bodies, the stars, the very nature of God!

 

John Muir: All the wild world is beautiful, and it matters but little where we go, to highlands or lowlands, woods or plains, on the sea or land or down among the crystals of waves or high in a balloon in the sky; through all the climates, hot or cold, storms and calms, everywhere and always we are in God's eternal beauty and love. So universally true is this, the spot where we chance to be always seems the best.

Domi

Genéricamente se define como la sobrevaloración del Yo respecto de otros por superar, alcanzar o superponerse a un obstáculo, situación o bien en alcanzar un status elevado y subvalorizar al contexto. También se puede definir la soberbia como la creencia de que todo lo que uno hace o dice es superior, y que se es capaz de superar todo lo que digan o hagan los demás. También se puede tomar la soberbia en cosas vanas y vacías (vanidad) y en la opinión de uno mismo exaltada a un nivel crítico y desmesurado (prepotencia)

"Le jour où je vais disparaître, j'aurai été poli avec la vie car je l'aurai bien aimée et beaucoup respectée. Je n'ai jamais considéré comme chose négligeable l'odeur des lilas, le bruit du vent dans les feuilles, le bruit du ressac sur le sable lorsque la mer est calme, le clapotis. Tous ces moments que nous donnent la nature, je les ai aimés, chéris, choyés. Je suis poli, voilà. Ils font partie de mes promenades et de mes étonnements heureux sans cesse renouvelés. Le passé c'est bien, mais l'exaltation du présent, c'est une façon de se tenir, un devoir.

Dans notre civilisation, on maltraite le présent, on est sans cesse tendu vers ce que l'on voudrait avoir, on ne s'émerveille plus de ce que l'on a. On se plaint de ce que l'on voudrait avoir. Drôle de mentalité! Se contenter ce n'est pas péjoratif. Revenir au bonheur de ce que l'on a, c'est un savoir vivre."

 

Olivier de Kersauson

i will exalt you

I've got so many more to edit and upload, and I will...eventually.

The tropical storm that brought the beautiful rain was so refreshing.

I am now going for a run.
