Schunck est un ancien magasin de mode et grand magasin à Heerlen et Geleen . C'est aussi le nom d'une série de bâtiments qui abritèrent la firme Schunck, dont le plus connu est le Palais de Verre , désigné parmi les mille bâtiments les plus influents du XXe siècle par l' Union des architectes internationaux . Le client du Glass Palace était le propriétaire Peter Schunck .
C'est aujourd'hui un centre culturel avec un musée d'art moderne et contemporain, un institut d'architecture, une école de musique et de danse et une bibliothèque sous l'ancien nom. Le musée abrite la collection d'art de Heerlen.
Dans les années 1930, un édifice particulier a été construit au centre de Heerlen : le Palais de Verre. Le bâtiment était extrêmement moderne et innovant pour l’époque. Le Glass Palace a été construit à l’origine comme une maison de couture. L'architecte Frits Peutz a conçu le bâtiment moderniste pour le compte de l'entrepreneur Peter Schunck. En raison de sa hauteur et de ses grandes surfaces vitrées, le bâtiment fut bientôt communément appelé « le Palais de Verre ».
Le Palais de Verre possède non seulement une architecture impressionnante, mais aussi une histoire riche, parallèle au développement de la ville de Heerlen. De la richesse et du succès au déclin. Du point le plus bas d'une démolition imminente au sauvetage et à la restauration d'une icône spéciale. Du grand magasin à l’immeuble de bureaux. Du supermarché et des magasins aux studios et immeubles anti-squats et finalement à l'institution culturelle SCHUNCK, figure de proue du printemps culturel de la ville.
Schunck is a former fashion store and department store in Heerlen and Geleen. It is also the name of a series of buildings which housed the Schunck firm, the best known of which is the Glass Palace, named among the thousand most influential buildings of the 20th century by the Union of International Architects. The Glass Palace's client was owner Peter Schunck.
Today it is a cultural center with a museum of modern and contemporary art, an architectural institute, a music and dance school and a library under the old name. The museum houses Heerlen's art collection.
In the 1930s, a special building was built in the center of Heerlen: the Glass Palace. The building was extremely modern and innovative for its time. The Glass Palace was originally built as a fashion house. Architect Frits Puisz designed the modernist building on behalf of entrepreneur Peter Schunck. Due to its height and large glass surfaces, the building was soon commonly called "the Glass Palace".
The Glass Palace not only has impressive architecture, but also a rich history, parallel to the development of the city of Heerlen. From wealth and success to decline. From the lowest point of imminent demolition to the rescue and restoration of a special icon. From department store to office building. From the supermarket and shops to the studios and anti-squat buildings and finally to the cultural institution SCHUNCK, the figurehead of the city's cultural spring.
Temps de Flors, Girona, España.
Breve historia de "Temps de Flors"
Un pequeño evento que se celebró en el Salón de Descanso del Ayuntamiento en 1954 se ha convertido en el gran festival internacional de Girona
La historia de Girona, Temps de Flors es también una historia de jóvenes emprendedores que en 1954 decidieron organizar una primera edición de lo que llamaron Concurso Exposición Provincial de Flores en el Salón de Descanso del Teatro Municipal. La buena respuesta y el interés de las personas que visitaron ese espacio entonces les empujó a sacar adelante un evento que se ha convertido en el gran festival internacional de Girona, una actividad que atrae a gente de todo el mundo.
El festival fue creciendo año tras año, tanto en lo que se refiere al espacio que lo acogÃa como por la implicación, cada vez mayor, de la ciudadanÃa y el tejido social de la ciudad. Del Salón de Descanso, que ese primer año ya quedó pequeño, se pasó a la Sala de Pergaminos de la Biblioteca Pública y después al Monasterio de Sant Pere de Galligants. Posteriormente, se pasó al convento y al claustro de Sant Domènec y más tarde, ya se empezó a extender por varios patios y jardines del Barri Vell, como la plaza de los Jurados, el claustro de la Catedral o los jardines de la plaza de NarcÃs Figueras.
La evolución del festival vivió un punto clave en 1979, cuando se organizó por primera vez en nombre de la Asociación de los Amigos de las Flores y de los Jardines. Más adelante, en 1983, se implicó también la Asociación de Amigos de la Girona Antiga, que consiguió la apertura de muchos otros patios y jardines particulares que durante el resto del año permanecÃan cerrados al público. En 1992, el Ayuntamiento de Girona se implicó definitivamente en la organización. La conjunción de estos hechos supuso un salto cualitativo y cuantitativo determinante para la proyección del festival.
Durante más de seis décadas Rosa Maria Labayen, David Marca y Josep Tarrés mantuvieron el espÃritu tradicional de la reconocida muestra floral, el evento que enorgullece a todos los gerundenses y gerundenses. Ellos consiguieron que sea un icono imprescindible de la ciudad y es a quien se debe el verdadero éxito de Girona, Temps de Flors.
A Brief History of Temps de Flors
A small event held in the City Hall's Lounge in 1954 has become Girona's major international festival.
The history of Girona, Temps de Flors is also a story of young entrepreneurs who, in 1954, decided to organize the first edition of what they called the Provincial Flower Exhibition and Competition in the Lounge of the Municipal Theatre. The positive response and interest from visitors encouraged them to develop an event that has become Girona's major international festival, an activity that attracts people from all over the world.
The festival grew year after year, both in terms of the venue and the increasing involvement of the city's citizens and social fabric. From the Lounge, which became too small that first year, it moved to the Parchment Room of the Public Library and later to the Monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants. Later, the festival moved to the convent and cloister of Sant Domènec, and subsequently expanded to various courtyards and gardens in the Barri Vell (Old Quarter), such as Plaça dels Jurats, the Cathedral cloister, and the gardens of Plaça de NarcÃs Figueras.
The festival's evolution reached a pivotal point in 1979, when it was first organized by the Association of Friends of Flowers and Gardens. Later, in 1983, the Association of Friends of Old Girona also became involved, securing the opening of many other private courtyards and gardens that remained closed to the public for the rest of the year. In 1992, the Girona City Council definitively became involved in the organization. The convergence of these events represented a decisive qualitative and quantitative leap for the festival's growth.
For over six decades, Rosa Maria Labayen, David Marca, and Josep Tarrés maintained the traditional spirit of the renowned flower show, an event that fills all the residents of Girona with pride. They made it an essential icon of the city, and it is thanks to them that Girona, Temps de Flors (Girona Flower Festival) truly succeeds.

Entrepreneur Frans van Haren has a classic car collection that has won prizes at prestigious national and international competitions. Since 2017, he has been presenting his impressive car collection to a wider audience in the futuristic-looking, former furniture showroom 'Metropole' in Druten, the Netherlands. The collection includes some four hundred cars, trucks and motorcycles, making it almost the largest car museum in the Netherlands.
In December 2024 a special exhibition was held about classic sports cars having participated in Le Mans races.
This Ferrari 275 GTB is one of only 60 alloy-bodied cars made between 1964 and 1966.

The 25 de Abril Bridge is a suspension bridge connecting the city of Lisbon, capital of Portugal, to the municipality of Almada on the left (south) bank of the Tagus river. It has a total length of 2,277 metres, making it the 46th longest suspension bridge in the world.
From its inauguration in 6 August 1966 up to 1974, the bridge was named Salazar Bridge (Ponte Salazar), after Portuguese Prime Minister António de Oliveira Salazar, who ordered its construction. After the Carnation Revolution, which overthrew the remnants of Salazar's regime, the bridge was renamed for April 25, the date of the revolution. It is also commonly called the Tagus River Bridge.
Later changes had to be made due to the rapid increase in population. In the 1990s, a fifth car lane was added, and in 1999, a lower deck, used as a railway track, which was planned since the beginning, was finally built. Today, the upper deck carries six car lanes while the lower deck carries a double track railway, electrified at 25 kV AC.
From the late 19th century, there had been proposals to build a bridge across the Tagus. In 1929, the idea advanced when the Portuguese engineer and entrepreneur, António Bello, requested a government concession for a railway crossing between Lisbon and Montijo (where the Vasco da Gama Bridge, the second bridge serving Lisbon, was later built in 1998). As a result, the Minister of Public Works, Duarte Pacheco, created a commission in 1933 to analyse the request. The commission reported in 1934, and proposed building a road and rail bridge. Bids were obtained, but the proposal was subsequently put aside in favor of a bridge crossing the river at Vila Franca de Xira, 35 kilometres north of Lisbon.
In 1953, a new government commission started work and, in 1958, recommended building the bridge, choosing the southern anchor point adjacent to the recently built monument to Christ the King (Cristo-Rei). In 1959, the international invitation to tender for the project received four bids. In 1960, the winner was announced as a consortium headed by the United States Steel Export Company, which had also submitted a bid in 1935. The American School of Lisbon was founded largely to educate the children of the American engineers brought to Portugal to work on the construction of the bridge.
Construction began on 5 November 1962. Forty-five months later, six months ahead of schedule, the bridge was inaugurated on 6 August 1966. Presiding at the ceremony was the President of Portugal, Admiral Américo Thomaz. Also present were the Prime-Minister, António de Oliveira Salazar, and the Patriarch of Lisbon, Cardinal Manuel Gonçalves Cerejeira. The bridge was named Salazar Bridge (Ponte Salazar), after Prime Minister Salazar.
United States Steel International Inc., based in New York, was prime contractor for the bridge. Morrison-Knudsen of Portugal Ltd., an American firm based in Boise, Idaho, was U.S. Steel's principal associate. Morrison-Knudsen had previously worked on the San Francisco Bay Bridge. The bridge was designed by Steinman, Boynton, Gronquist and London of New York, and Tudor Engineering Company of San Francisco. The steel was imported from the US. Four workers lost their lives, out of a total of 3,000 who worked on the site. Construction took a total of 2,185,000 man-hours of work. The total cost of the bridge came to 2.2 billion Portuguese escudos, or US$32 million (US$225 million in 2011 adjusted for inflation).
Soon after the Carnation Revolution in 1974, the bridge was renamed the 25 de Abril Bridge, the day the revolution had occurred. A symbol of those times was captured on film, with citizens removing the large brass letters spelling "Salazar" from one of the main pillars of the bridge and painting a provisional "25 de Abril" in its place.
The upper platform, running 70 m above water, had four car lanes, two in each direction, with a dividing guardrail. On 23 July 1990, the guardrail was removed and a fifth, reversible lane was created. On 6 November 1998, the side walls were extended and reinforced to make space for the present six lanes. Cars crossing the bridge make a peculiar hum because the two inner lanes are made of metallic grating rather than asphalt to minimize aerodynamic forces by means of pressure equalization.
Since 30 June 1999, the lower platform has carried a double track railway. To accommodate that, the bridge underwent extensive structural reinforcements, including a second set of main cables, placed above the original set, and the main towers were increased in height. The railway had been part of the initial design, but was eliminated for economy, so the initial structure was lightened. The original builder American Bridge Company was called again for the job, performing the first aerial spinning of additional main cables on a loaded, fully operational suspension bridge.
Traffic soon increased well beyond predictions, and has remained at maximum capacity despite the enlargement from four to six lanes, the addition of the railway, and the building of a second bridge serving Lisbon, the Vasco da Gama Bridge. A third bridge has been on and off government plans for some time, but the idea has been dropped presently, due to Portugal's budget constraints.
The corner lemonade stand had just run out of lemonade and until more arrived, out came the hard sell for watermelon and especially gum.
We visited Cleveland's West Side Market yesterday morning for some shopping. Of course, I had my camera with me. This is a photo of a young girl who was busily making small woven baskets for sale. By far, she was the busiest and most aspiring entrepreneur at the market.
For me, the best part of this photograph is the sunlight on the girl's hair. I also liked the intense look on her face as she worked so hard.
Fellow Flickrite mpaulda was kind enough to send me some cameras to play around with this summer. Thanks Mark!

Frazier is my oldest nephew. He has just started his own company, Signature Clothing. His line consists of all sorts of apparel, and is pretty cool looking, so this pic was something I wanted to be a little different, cool and innovative, just like Frazier!
After Thanksgiving dinner, I did a couple of quick grab shots at the table of Frazier and his brother, Drake. Though this one wasn't bad as far as detail went, it was busy and needed some enhancement. As I looked at the image, I realized that some of the things that were popping up in the background actually played into who Frazier is. "Brawny" and "Hefty" describe his strength. He had gone through Police Academy, and trained hard, deciding afterwards that he wanted to go a different route, which may include being an Army Ranger. Frazier is a tough guy with a heart. He loves animals, and they love him, so the kitties that pop up bring that in. There are magnets on the fridge referencing faith and humor, both also are a big part of who Frazier is. So, I left the background, busy as it was, but decided to make him pop by doing a sketch effect on only him. I actually really liked it after I got done. It kind of highlights the drive my nephew has, and a good natured intensity and determination that he personifies.
