Sacre Coeur Basilica, Paris
The mosaic over the choir, entitled The Triumph of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, is the largest and most important work of art in the church. It was created by Luc-Olivier Merson, H. M. Magne and R. Martin, and was dedicated in 1923. The mosaic is composed of 25,000 enamelled and gilded pieces of ceramic, and covers 475 square meters, making it one of the largest mosaics in the world.
The central figure is Jesus Christ, dressed in white, with open arms offering his heart, decorated with gold. He is joined by his mother, the Virgin Mary, and by the Archangel Michael, the protector of the church and of France. At his feet, kneeling, is Saint Joan of Arc offering him a crown. A figure of Pope Leo XIII offers a globe to Christ, symbolising the world.

Song: Brooklyn (Owes the Charmer Under Me)
Album: Can't Buy A Thrill (1972)
The song may be telling the story of a man living downstairs in a shabby Brooklyn apartment, convinced that the universe has made a colossal administrative error. By all rights, he should be swimming in money, playing golf for free, entertaining Hollywood beauties, winning every poker game, and ruling a tropical island of his own.
His wife is equally unimpressed with the hand life has dealt her. Together, they cultivate a magnificent sense of entitlement, dreaming of privileges they never earned and adventures they never had. Eventually, even wealth and glamour aren't enough: they want the power to turn back time and rearrange their destinies.
Meanwhile, the wallpaper peels, the neighbours quarrel, and Brooklyn stubbornly refuses to settle its debts.

La tête carrée, loosely translated as "block head" or "square head", stands 28 m high and consists of a 14 m cube resting on top of a chin and a pair of shoulders. Inside, housed on seven floors, is the administrative 'brain' of the Bibliothèque Louis Nucera. The exterior is covered by perforated aluminum, which allows the 40 people who work there to see out, while preventing those outside from looking in.
Inaugurated in 2002, and originally entitled "Thinking Inside the Box", la tête carrée is the work of the Niçois sculptor Sacha Sosno and architect Yves Bayard; it claims to be the first inhabited sculpture in the world.

A portico protruding into High Street. The house attached to this portico goes back to the 16th century, back to a time when privilege would manifest itself even on village level. Fuji X-E3.
The Grade I Listed Conwy Castle built between 1283 and 1289 during King Edward I's second campaign in Wales. In Conwy, Conwy County, North Wales.
It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and managed by Cadw. It is also part of the World Heritage Site entitled Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Gwynedd. The Castle was built along with the Town Walls at the combined cost of £15,000, (approximately £7.6 million in today's money).
Before the English construction of the town of Conwy, the site was occupied by Aberconwy Abbey, a Cistercian monastery favoured by the Welsh princes. The site also controlled an important crossing point over the river Conwy between the coastal and inland areas of North Wales and was defended for many years by Deganwy Castle.
The English kings and Welsh princes had vied for control of the region since the 1070s and the conflict had been renewed during the 13th century, leading to Edward I intervening in North Wales for the second time during his reign in 1282.
Edward invaded with a huge army, pushing north from Carmarthen and westwards from Montgomery and Chester. Edward captured Aberconwy in March 1283 and decided that the location would form the centre of a new county: the abbey would be relocated eight miles inland and a new English castle and walled town would be built on the monastery's former site.
The ruined castle of Deganwy was abandoned and never rebuilt. Edward's plan was a colonial enterprise and placing the new town and walls on top of such a high-status native Welsh site was in part a symbolic act to demonstrate English power.

Depiction of the Last Supper in the St. Janskerk in Gouda. The church in Gouda, Zuid-Holland, boasts a magnificent collection of 16th-century stained-glass windows of biblical and historical scenes. As often happened in those days, this one blends the two by showing Philip II (the infamous king of Spain) and his spouse Mary Tudor as direct witnesses of the Last Supper. As donators of the window they were entitled to a front row seat in any possible event, historical or other. The piety and act of faith shown here in this Dutch church shouldn't fool anybody as Philip became during his reign (1556-1598) by his ruthless policy one of the worst enemies of the Dutch and would eventually be kicked out of the country. The window was crafted by Dirk Crabeth in 1557.

About two weeks before the trip we watched a documentary movie entitled "Free Solo" on Netflix related to this monument as follows : YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, CALIFORNIA .. Renowned rock climber Alex Honnold became the first person to scale the iconic nearly 3,000-foot granite wall known as El Capitan without using ropes or other safety gear, completing what may be the greatest feat of pure rock climbing in the history of the sport. ... It's a great movie and worth the watch :-)

Diego Suarez (Madagascar) – Portrait du gardien de la décharge à ciel ouvert à Diego-Suarez. Ce n'est pas une fonction officielle. Mais comme cet homme a passé toute sa vie à fouiller la décharge, maintenant qu'il est âgé et surtout pratiquement aveugle, ce sont ceux qui fouillent les déchets qui l'ont nommé gardien. Un titre officieux qui lui donne droit à recevoir un peu d'argent des travailleurs qui commercialisent les déchets recyclés.
The Landfill Guardian
Diego Suarez (Madagascar) – Portrait of the guardian of the open-air landfill in Diego-Suarez. It's not an official title. But since this man has spent his entire life scavenging at the landfill, now that he's old and practically blind, it's those who sift through the waste who have appointed him guardian. A title that entitles him to receive a little money from the workers who sell the recycled waste.
Southwark Cathedral, London
Entitled Christ Rests in Peace, the dramatic sculpture of Christ’s head with crown of thorns, is the result of over 20 years work on the face of Jesus by acclaimed British sculptor Nic Fiddian-Green.
The giant eight-foot head, cast in lead with a gilded crown of thorns, was on display in front of the high altar during Lent and the Holy Week.
It is powerful not just because of its sheer size but also because when you look beyond the thorns you see the humanity in the face of Christ, says Andrew Nunn, Dean of Southwark.

I'd wanted to try something like this for ages, so with an empty house, a fully articulating camera screen and a camera club competiion entitled "Faces" that was coning up, I took a series of images, some with my hands in front of my face and merged three of them together. Lit with two flashes, fired by triggers, either side of me.

The elegant 1948 Talbot Lago T26 Record Cabriolet, exquisitely restored and detailed to perfection to show off its pre-war Art Deco origins. The shine was blinding.
As part of the backwash from the bankruptcy and break-up of the Anglo-French Sunbeam-Talbot-Darracq combine in 1935, the French part of the business was purchased by Tony Lago, an auto-industry entrepreneur and engineer born in Venice, but who had built much of his auto-industry career during the 1920s in England. The registered name of the company Lago now owned was "Automobiles Talbot-Darracq S.A.", but in the English speaking world it is generally known as "Talbot-Lago". The cars themselves were badged in their home market simply as Talbots, using the badge worn by products of the predecessor company since 1922 (when the "-Darracq" suffix had been dropped from the names used for the cars in France). Nevertheless, after 1945, sources even in France frequently used some form the "Talbot-Lago" name combination.
After acquiring the company in 1935, Lago rapidly developed a range of executive and sporting cars with engine sizes ranging from 2.3 to 4.0 litres. The passenger car range was complemented by racing cars and a high profile motor racing programme. The Talbot Lago-Record Type T26 launched in 1946, relatively quickly after the end of the war, closely resembled models from the 1930s such as the Talbot Major and Talbot Baby and benefited from the reputation Talbots had built up in the prewar years, though the economic conditions made it unrealistic to produce the range of standard and special-bodied Talbots that had been a feature of the previous decade. Tony Lago was joined in 1942 by an exceptional engineering talent, Carlo Machetti, and from then the two of them were working on the twin-camshaft 4483 cc six-cylinder unit that would lie at the heart of the Talbot T26.
The French government that came to power in 1945 had a strong belief in political control of the economy. In addition to creating a taxation regime which savagely penalised cars with engine sizes above 2 litres, the government also introduced in January 1946 the so-called Pons Plan, under which different French auto-makers were told by government what car types they might build. Since government also controlled materials supplies – notably steel supplies – the Pons Plan could not be ignored. Talbot were not forbidden to build cars, but they, along with Hotchkiss and Delahaye-Deage were restricted to a class entitled by the bureaucrats "véhicules de classe exceptionnelle" – high-class vehicles. Plan implementation was at its most rigid in 1946, and in that year Talbot received government authorisation for the construction of an initial batch of 125 cars, provided the cars were exported.
The Talbot Lago-Record Type T26 was first presented in public in 1946. In October of 1946, following World War II, Talbot-Lago had a small stand behind Peugeot at the Paris Salon. It was there that they introduced the brand-new T26 Record, offering in four body styles, including a convertible. It used the trademark pre-selector Wilson-type gearbox, had a fully independent front suspension with transverse leaf spring, and a new 4.5-liter six-cylinder twin-cam Hemi engine that Anthony Lago had developed during the War with Carlo Marchetti, his chief engineer. Lago increased the displacement of the engine to 4.5-liters, and added yet another new Hemispherical combustion chamber head, this time with twin camshafts operating the valve gear and positioned near the top of the new seven main bearing block. The long-stroke (93mm bore by 110mm stroke) six gave Talbot-Lago's new grand Prix racer, designated the Type 26 Course or T26C They were, however, immensely powerful machines, which often enjoyed a much better fuel economy than the competition. The combined strategy of precise sports car handling, durability, fuel economy, and power continued to earn the company class and overall victories culminating in the overall win in 1950 of the grueling 24 hours of LeMans!

Some shots from 2016, taken at the fantasy garden layout of The Outer Garden (now, sadly, torn down). Melanda (me) is enjoying a holiday on a pleasure planet before the events of the story I'm working on periodically, entitled Thief in the Night. These photos were trying out a Fallen Gods skin (Pure Ice) and makeup palette with a (now vintage) dress from Miamai. Jewelry by Lazuri. Makeup by (wait for it!) ARISE, La Malvada Mujer, SlackGirl, White~Widow, Zibska, MUA and Pink Fuel. (Someone figure out a way to layer multiple levels of makeup on these crazy mesh heads!) Hair beneath the hat by rezology.

Two years ago I participated in a horror short film recording, entitled "A Haunted House".
My work was short, taking post-production still pictures and little else. But I received much more than I gave.
I never imagined the hard work, cost, means necessary to carry out. It is only a few minutes of recording. And finally it is finished and at the diffusion stage.
As we are so close to Halloween, I would like to share with you some pics I took during that filming.
Now I have permission to post them 😇
Hace dos años participé en la grabación de un cortometraje de terror, titulado "La Familia".
Mi trabajo fue breve, tomando foto fija para la postproducción y poco más. Pero recibí mucho más de lo que di.
Nunca imaginé el trabajo duro, el coste, los medios necesarios para llevarlo a cabo.
Son solo unos minutos de grabación. Y finalmente está terminado y en etapa de difusión.
Como estamos tan cerca de Halloween, me gustaría compartir con vosotros algunas fotos que tomé durante el rodaje.
Ahora tengo permiso para publicarlos 😇

Pisa is a city in Tuscany, Central Italy, on the right bank of the mouth of the River Arno on the Tyrrhenian Sea. It is the capital city of the Province of Pisa. Although Pisa is known worldwide for its leaning tower (the bell tower of the city's cathedral), the city of over 88,332 residents (around 200,000 with the metropolitan area) contains more than 20 other historic churches, several palaces and various bridges across the River Arno.
The heart of the Piazza del Duomo is the Duomo, the medieval cathedral, entitled to Santa Maria Assunta (St. Mary of the Assumption). This is a five-naved cathedral with a three-naved transept. The church is known also as the Primatial, the archbishop of Pisa being a Primate since 1092.
Construction of the church was begun in 1064 by the architect Buscheto, and set the model for the distinctive Pisan Romanesque style of architecture. The mosaics of the interior, as well as the pointed arches, show a strong Byzantine influence.
The façade, of grey marble and white stone set with discs of coloured marble, was built by a master named Rainaldo, as indicated by an inscription above the middle door: Rainaldus prudens operator.
But most famous of course in Pisa is the Leaning Tower of Pisa (Italian: Torre pendente di Pisa) or simply the Tower of Pisa (Torre di Pisa), the campanile, or freestanding bell tower known worldwide for its unintended tilt to one side. The tower's tilt began during construction, caused by an inadequate foundation on ground too soft on one side to properly support the structure's weight. The tilt increased in the decades before the structure was completed, and gradually increased until the structure was stabilized (and the tilt partially corrected) by efforts in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Construction of the tower occurred in three stages across 344 years. Work on the ground floor of the white marble campanile began on August 8, 1173, during a period of military success and prosperity.

Bargeboard (probably from Medieval Latin bargus, or barcus, a scaffold, and not from the now obsolete synonym vergeboard), the boards fastened to the projecting gables of a roof to give them strength and to mask, hide and protect the otherwise exposed end of the horizontal timbers or purlins of the roof to which they were attached. Bargeboards are sometimes moulded only or carved.
Vergeboard
thinkexist.com/dictionary/meaning/vergeboard/
The ornament of woodwork upon the gable of a house, used extensively in the 15th century. It was generally suspended from the edge of the projecting roof and in position parallel to the gable wall. Called also bargeboard.
Italianate
Reproduced from Realtor.com
www.realtor.com/Basics/AllAbout/TypesStyles/Articles/Ital...
There are a few different ways to identify an Italianate home. The chief characteristic is the brackets at the eave, arched doorways and windows, bay windows and flat roofs. The houses are usually in a boxed or rectangular shape. Regardless of scale, all Italianates have very wide eaves usually supported by heavy brackets, tall windows, and scrollwork. Another distinctive "signature" of the style is a central single-bay porch or long porches. Many examples feature a cupola. A few of the styles (usually "Tuscan") feature a tower.
Since the Italianate was a house style that could be transported by railroad, piece by piece, this style dominated American houses constructed between 1850 and 1890. By the late 1860s the style had completely overshadowed its earlier companion, Gothic Revival. In the mid-1800s, the style was adapted to the urban row house, and is still seen today in the brownstone row houses of New York.

Every year, Karen and I, along with our friends, Bev Woodroffe and Henk Tiesma, visit Bob and Carol Barkwell, usually in the Spring, at their home in Lindsay, Ontario. Karen, Bev and Carol began their teaching careers together forty years ago.
This year, we went to Bob and Carol's cottage on Twelve Mile Lake in the Haliburton Highlands of Ontario. This time we went in the Fall. The main focus of the weekend was the Haliburton County Studio Tour, which includes twenty-one artisans. We visited several studios, and also took in the town of Haliburton. The trip was extra special this year, since the Fall colours are breathtaking
The Twelve Mile Lake Church was established in 1890, and was originally Presbyterian. In 1925, it joined the United Church of Canada. it can hold about 30-40 people. The nearby cemetery holds 566 burials.

I've just read an article 'New Syndrome Defined: Grown-up Kids Who Won't Leave Home'. The psychologists formulated the term 'entitled dependence'. In Australia these young people are called 'boomerang children'. I also like the Italian 'bamboccioni'. In the photo above the young kangaroo was in fact warned and invited by Mum's open pouch to hide when she spotted a man with his big dog (fortunately on leash) and reacted as every overprotective mother would.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sneem (Irish: An tSnaidhm) is a town situated on the Iveragh Peninsula (part of the Ring of Kerry) in County Kerry in the southwest of Ireland. It lies on the estuary of the River Sneem. National route N70 runs through the town.
The Irish name for the town "An tSnaidhm" translates into the English "The Knot". There are several explanations as to why a "knot" would be relevant for this small Kerry village.
First, and most obviously, the Sneem river flows through the village and it is said that a knot-like swirling takes place when the river meets the currents of Kenmare Bay in the estuary just below the village.
Sneem village comprises 2 squares, North and South. There is a bridge in the middle of the village which if looked at from an aerial perspective acts as a knot between the two village squares.
A less common explanation is that Sneem is the knot in the famed Ring of Kerry scenic tourist drive. In order to complete the Ring of Kerry one must pass through the village of Sneem so therefore Sneem could be viewed as "the knot".
A book, Sneem The Knot in the Ring details the area's history.[1]
In March 1978 Sneem was the venue for the state funeral for former President Cearbhall Ó Dálaigh who resided in the area prior to his death.
There are a number of common Irish names associated with Sneem include Sullivan and O'Sullivan. Because there can be many O'Sullivan's local append words to differentiate between them for example O'Sullivan-Mountain.
Former French President Charles de Gaulle visited here on numerous occasions and there is a sculpture commemorating this in the village
The village of Sneem is a treasure trove of international sculpture, accessible to all, free of charge, throughout the year. The work of Vivienne Roche, Alan Hall, Tamara Rikman and a panda sculpture donated by the Peoples Republic of China can be seen on various locations." The Risen Christ " by Brother Joseph McNally is located on thegrounds of St.Michael's Church and the goddess Isis donated by the people of Egypt stands at "The Way The Fairies Went". "The Way The Fairies Went" is a collection of buildings designed by Kerry sculptor James Scanlon, and executed by local stoneworkers located overlooking the Sneem River near St. Michael's Church. It was financed by the Arts Council of Ireland as a result of Sneem winning the National Tidy Towns Award in 1987. The entire project was completed in 1989-90.The buildings won the National Landscape Award in 1997.
The legendary Casey family of rowers and wrestlers were all from Sneem, the most famous of whom "Steve 'Crusher' Casey" was undefeated heavyweight wrestling champion of the world 1938-1947 and in 1982 he received the Irish Hall Of Fame Award, presented by Olympic gold medallist Ronnie Delaney. There is a statue commemorating him in the village.
William Melville, the first head of the British Secret Service, was born at nearby Direenaclaurig Cross.
The Gaelic footballer Ronan Hussey, who was a member of the Kerry senior football panel is a native of Sneem and still plays with Sneem GAA.
In 2000, a time capsule was buried in the centre of the town. It will be opened in 2100.[2]

You would be well entitled to ask, "Who is John Sealy?'
Well here is the answer from the Living London History website: 'From 1799-1813, John Sealy was the senior business partner at the Coade stone factory in Lambeth. They produced an artificial stone that can be seen all over London - for example the keystone heads over the doors on Bedford Square and the South Bank Lion.
Unsurprisingly, the rather dramatic monument adorning the grave is made of Coade stone, as well as William Bligh’s grave.'
I didn't see the tomb of Mr. Bligh, but the photo of it on the website looks pretty cool!
