It's freezing outside and they forecast more cold to come.
At least I can look at my photos and feel warm with my memories.
By the way.....can you spot the birds in my picture?
Happy New Year, my friends.

Jan Hus was a Czech church reformer executed in 1415. His teachings had a profound influence on the history of the Czech nation.
Jan Hus’s contribution to the development of the Czech literary language was the introduction of diacritical marks, such as: č, š, ř, ž, á, í, é. The purpose of this innovation was representing each sound by only one symbol and eleminating digraphs (sounds represented by two letters).
The inscription on the monument reads “Milujte se, pravdy každému přejte”, which means more or less: “Love one another, wish the truth to everyone”. This is a shortened version of a quote from one of Hus’s letters from prison. The day of his execution, July 6th, is a public holiday in Czechia (Jan Hus Day).

Lasses Birgitta (died 1550). She was the first woman executed for sorcery in Sweden. After the trial of Birgitta, the Swedish witch hunt remained more or less inactive until the 1590s, and the real witch hysteria was not to break loose until 1668. Approximately 400 people executed for the crime in Sweden. Most of these were women - but Birgitta was the only one burned alive.

** People who follow my stream will know I am not that good at identifying British Butterflies . Therefore I am extremely unlikely to get this ID correct given it's a butterfly from Thailand . This was taken in the countryside near Chiang Mai close by a river . I have done a little research and I think it might be Ethope diademoides diademoides White diadem. However I could be completely incorrect .
My final post before Trump becomes President again. I could go on at length but at will leave it as this . There will be a multitude of lies during his presidency . The first lie might well be the biggest, at his inauguration he will take the oath of office saying ;
“ I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. “
Pretty rich from someone who tried to subvert and pervert the election result in 2020. I am reminded sadly of women who are the subject of domestic abuse who keeping retuning to the abuser thinking its going to be better next time

The Byrd Park Pump House, also called the New Pump-House, is a wonderfully executed late 19th-century example of the Gothic Revival style, applied to a municipal industrial building whose purpose was to house the Richmond city waterworks. The building, which served as the city’s waterworks from 1883 until 1924, is conveniently situated to draw water from the James River and Kanawha Canal as well as its own smaller canal. The facility pumped water uphill from the canals to the Byrd Park Reservoir, the city’s main water supply. Far from being entirely utilitarian, however, the pump house was also a popular gathering place in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The pump house is in a scenic location at the Three-Mile Locks of the canal system. The site inspired Colonel Wilfred Emory Cutshaw, Richmond’s City Engineer from 1874 until 1907, to design the building as a social venue as well as a waterworks. He included an open-air dance hall, or pavilion, on the second floor above the equipment room. The pump house had the reputation of being one of the only buildings in the country designed and used as both a public utilities building and a social hall.

La Seu Vella o catedral antiga és un monument arquitectònic de la ciutat de Lleida. S'alça sobre un turó que porta el seu nom, des del qual s'albira tota la ciutat, el riu Segre i gran part de l'horta de Lleida. La Seu Vella forma part d'un conjunt monumental integrat també pel Castell del Rei o La Suda i la fortificació militar que els envolta. Tots tres elements estan catalogats com Bé Cultural d'Interès Nacional.[1][2][3] El conjunt monumental ha estat triat dos cops Monument Favorit de Catalunya.[4]
La catedral s'ubica al centre històric de la població, i es considera una obra romànica, per bé que presenta elements propis de l'arquitectura gòtica i alguns afegits renaixentistes. Destaca especialment el treball escultòric de les portes de l'Anunciata, del Portal Major i de la Porta dels Fillols, considerades per part de la historiografia com una mostra paradigmàtica de l'anomenada Escola de Lleida.[5] Encarregada a Pere de Coma el 1193,[6] la primera pedra del temple fou posada el 22 de juliol de 1203,[6] i es consagrà el 1278,[7] per bé que l'obra no es va donar per acabada fins a la construcció del cimbori i el cobriment de les naus, el 1286.[8] El conjunt també està dotat d'un claustre, situat atípicament als peus del temple, que es va començar a bastir al darrer terç del segle xiii i no es va acabar fins al segle següent.[9] Fou llavors que es finalitzà el conjunt, amb la construcció del campanar i la porta dels Apòstols.
La Seu Vella sovint s'ha definit com una catedral romànica de monumentalitat gòtica[10] arran de la persistència de les formes de l'art romànic fins al segle xiii, tot i que, davant les dificultats de categorització del conjunt, darrerament s'opta per definir-lo com un dels exemples més representatius d'una arquitectura catalana del segle xiii.[11]
El Turó de la Seu Vella i els seus elements patrimonials els gestiona un consorci entre la Generalitat de Catalunya i la Paeria de Lleida.
Història
Primera catedral cristiana
Porta plateresca de l'antiga capella Santa Maria l'Antiga des del claustre realitzada per Jeroni Xanxo.
Lleida era seu episcopal abans de la invasió sarraïna de l'any 719. Hi ha documents de l'any 419 que mencionen Sagiti com a primer bisbe conegut.[12] Al mateix lloc on hi ha l'actual Seu Vella hi havia la catedral paleocristiana i visigòtica, i que va correspondre a la mesquita major en temps de l'ocupació per l'Emirat de Larida. Els comtes Ramon Berenguer IV de Barcelona i Ermengol VI d'Urgell van conquerir la ciutat de Larida als sarraïns l'any 1149, i va ser el bisbe Guillem Pere de Ravidats, traslladat de la diòcesi de Roda d'Isàvena, qui consagrà la mesquita com a catedral cristiana sota l'advocació de Santa Maria l'Antiga, la canònica quedava regida per la regla de Sant Agustí.[13]
El bisbe Gombau de Camporrells, després de nombroses compres de terrenys i cases a la ratlla del temple, va ser qui decidí d'emprendre l'obra d'una nova catedral, a causa del gran augment de població.[13]
History
The site was previously occupied by a Palaeo-Christian and Visigothic cathedral, which later, after the Islamic conquest of Spain, was rebuilt in 832 to be used as a mosque. In 1149, after the city's conquest by the Christian Ramon Berenguer IV of Barcelona and Ermengol VI of Urgell (1149), the structure was reconsecrated as "Santa Maria Antiqua", and entrusted to canons regular.
In 1193, however, the cathedral chapter ordered the construction of a new edifice, following the contemporary Romanesque architectural canons, to master Pere de Coma. The first stone was laid in 1203 by King Peter II of Aragon and count Ermengol VII of Urgell. Construction continued throughout the reign of James I of Aragon. It was consecrated to the Virgin Mary on 31 October 1278. The cloisters not were completed until the 14th century. The bell tower was begun in 14th century and finished in 1431.[2] The portal Porta dels Apòstols begun in the 14th and completed in 15th century.[3]
In 1707, the city was conquered by the troops of Philip V: the king ordered the destruction of the cathedral because it has taken a prominent part in the city's defense. Nevertheless, the order was never executed, and the cathedral was converted into barracks. The building was declared a national monument in 1918, and restoration works were started in 1950.

The gallows was erected in 1597 instead of a wooden gallows. The number of people executed is unclear, but there are some indications that relatively few people died there, which is also due to the relatively liberal jurisprudence of the Count House of Erbach. Only one execution in 1746 is documented in the church records, which is considered certain. Johann Adam Beisel from Unter-Sensbach was hanged for theft and adultery. [2] According to the inscription on a memorial stone next to the gallows, the "last execution in 1804, a gypsy woman for stealing a chicken and two loaves of bread" should have taken placeThree red sandstone columns about five meters high were set up so that they form the corners of an equilateral triangle. They carry three crossbars arranged in a triangle, which is why the place of execution is also known as the so-called "three-sleeper gallows". The gallows served the high court of the Oberzent under the rule of the Counts of Erbach; In 1806 they were deprived of their jurisdiction by Napoleonic law, which also ended the right to impose the death penalty.

American wigeon are such fun birds to photograph ... they're quite beautiful and generally pretty active as they dabble for food, which is generally lots of plant matter. They possess a short bill which allows them to efficiently pluck the vegetation in search of the good stuff, while also allowing them to discard easily what they don't want. This female mama wigeon was taking a break from her babies and thus had a great flappy going on as it arose from the water surface with a strong and purposeful flap and stretch forward of its wings, followed by a back flap ... forward and backward flaps repeated for quite some time before she settled back into position. I just love seeing those feathers like that. After some time her young joined her in the lake. Such is the life. :-)
Hope that you enjoy.

Hauz Khas Complex consists of the Hauz Khas Lake or Royal Tank, a mosque and a tomb, all from the time of the Khalji dynasty (1290-1320 CE). Neeli Masjid and Chor Minar, where the heads of executed thieves (chor) would be put on display in the earlier days, lie inside the colony.
Is a traditional American popular song. It tells the story of a woman, Frankie, who finds that her man Johnny was making love to another woman and shoots him dead. Frankie is then arrested; in some versions of the song she is also executed.
The House Lounge has been open to the public since the commission of the Benton murals in 1935 when visitors were allowed to observe the project in progress. With the exception of meetings scheduled by legislator.
The committee agreed that the subject of the scenes was to be A Social History of the State of Missouri, and the House Lounge walls were to be the location for the murals. The completion was scheduled for 1937, and Benton was given complete freedom in interpreting and executing the theme for the paintings.

Cette imposante fontaine se dresse sur la Rådhuspladsen de København (Copenhague), la capitale du Danemark.
Cette grande place de l’hôtel de ville est le point km 0 du Danemark et de la ville. Il s’agit d’un autre rond-point important où convergent bus et grandes artères.
Sur cette place se trouvent un grand nombre de statues et d’éléments décoratifs dont la Dragespringvand (fontaine des Dragons), exécutée en 1923 par des artistes danois, Skovgaard et Bindesboll. La fontaine représente un taureau terrassant une étrange créature marine. Sur le pourtour, on aperçoit plusieurs petits dragons.
La place est aussi encadrée de très beaux bâtiments dont évidemment le Rådhuset (Hôtel de Ville) édifié en brique de 1892 à 1905 dans le goût du "Romantisme national", le Palace Hotel de style Art nouveau (1907) et des édifices commerciaux dont celui dont l’originalité consiste en une tour-baromètre surmontée des "Golden girls", une jeune fille à vélo annonçant le beau temps et une jeune fille au parapluie annonçant le mauvais temps.

This is one photograph on which I would be happy to stake my reputation as a photographer. As far as I'm aware, it is the only photograph of this historic building taken from directly in front as you see here. The reason why all the other photographs are taken from an angle is that the distance across the street is usually too short to give a complete view of the frontage. And an extremely wide angle lens will tend to distort the image too much.
In this case my plan was to photograph it at night, to take advantage of the lighting (limited though that is - especially at the very top of the building). The early Art Deco styling is truly outstanding and typical of its time of construction in 1915. This marks the architectural shift from Art Nouveau to Art Deco and this building is almost unique in Australia in that regard.
My earlier photographs of the historic Palais Theatre and Luna Park in St Kilda (Melbourne) were a model for this shot, although of course they both needed to be in colour.* The grey and white tones of The National Theatre's original paintwork meant that black and white was the obvious choice here.
*[I will do a re-edit on both those photographs tonight and post them tomorrow - as I am not happy with the original postings, given they were processed before I started using Capture One.]
Speaking of processing, there is plenty here, but no AI. Everything you see is on the original RAW file, but obviously certain parts of the photograph needed to be enhanced by using adjustment layers. Another reason for choosing this angle of shot was to incorporate the building with arched windows on the far right under the glow of the street lamp. It will surprise no art buff to see here the influence of the great Italian Giorgio de Chirico (1888-1978).
The National Theatre was opened as a live theatre, but in 1934 became the first in Launceston to show "Talkie" films. It remained a successful cinema until 1969. At present it is the home of one of Tasmania's finest printing firms, Foot and Playsted.
The Midland Camera club planned and executed a wonderful trip to the Jordan Valley and Leelanau peninsula in pursuit of Fall colors, landscapes, farms, sand dunes, Lake Michigan. lighthouses, and a vast assortment of interesting subjects to photograph. All the members came home with a nice collection of photographs and much joy in the adventure spent together. Visit our viewing site to see the work of the members.

The Cueva de las Manos, Río Pinturas, contains an exceptional assemblage of cave art, with many painted rock shelters, including a cave, with magnificent pictographies surrounded by an outstanding landscape, with the river running through a deep canyon, which were executed between 9,300 and 1,300 years ago.
It takes its name (Cave of the Hands) from the stencilled outlines of human hands in the cave, but there are also many depictions of animals, such as guanacos (Lama guanicoe ), still commonly found in the region, as well as hunting scenes that depict animals and human figures interacting in a dynamic and naturalistic manner. The entrance to the Cueva is screened by a rock wall covered by many hand stencils. Within the rock shelter itself there are five concentrations of rock art, later figures and motifs often superimposed upon those from earlier periods. The paintings were executed with natural mineral pigments - iron oxides (red and purple), kaolin (white), and natrojarosite (yellow), manganese oxide (black) - ground and mixed with some form of binder.
The artistic sequence, which includes three main stylistic groups, began as early as the 10th millennium BP [Before Present]. The sequence is a long one: archaeological investigations have shown that the site was last inhabited around AD 700 by the possible ancestors of the first Tehuelche people of Patagonia. The Cueva is considered by the international scientific community to be one of the most important sites of the earliest hunter-gatherer groups in South America during Early Holocene that still maintains a good state of preservation and has a singular environment formation, unique at Santa Cruz province.
The rock art, its natural environment and the archaeological sites on this region are some of the very important reasons that made this area a focus for archaeological research for more than 25 years. They made an impact on the observer due not only the deep gorge walls surrounded by a privileged landscape, but also by the artistic compositions, variety of motifs and its polychromies. These scenes represent a unique evidence to know aboutthe first Patagonian hunters’ behaviour and their hunting techniques. Cueva de las Manos, Río Pinturas contains an exceptional assemblage of cave art, unique in the world, for its age and continuity throughout time, the beauty and the preservation conditions of the paintings, the magnificence of the collection of stencilled outlines of human hands and the hunting scenes, as well as the environment that surrounds the place of exciting beauty and for being part of the cultural value of the site itself.

Kilmainham Gaol (Irish: Príosún Chill Mhaighneann) is a former prison in Kilmainham, Dublin, Ireland. It is now a museum run by the Office of Public Works, an agency of the Government of Ireland. Many Irish revolutionaries, including the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising, were imprisoned and executed in the prison by the orders of the UK Government.When it was first built in 1796, Kilmainham Gaol was called the "New Gaol" to distinguish it from the old prison it was intended to replace – a noisome dungeon, just a few hundred metres from the present site. It was officially called the County of Dublin Gaol, and was originally run by the Grand Jury for County Dublin.
Originally, public hangings took place at the front of the prison. However, from the 1820s onward very few hangings, public or private, took place at Kilmainham. A small hanging cell was built in the prison in 1891. It is located on the first floor, between the west wing and the east wing.
There was no segregation of prisoners; men, women and children were incarcerated up to 5 in each cell, with only a single candle for light and heat. Most of their time was spent in the cold and the dark, and each candle had to last for two weeks. Its cells were roughly 28 square metres in area.
Children were sometimes arrested for petty theft, the youngest said to be a seven-year-old child, while many of the adult prisoners were transported to Australia.
At Kilmainham, the poor conditions in which women prisoners were kept provided the spur for the next stage of development. As early as 1809, in his report, the Inspector had observed that male prisoners were supplied with iron bedsteads while females "lay on straw on the flags in the cells and common halls". Half a century later there was little improvement. The women's section, located in the west wing, remained overcrowded. In an attempt to relieve the overcrowding, 30 female cells were added to the Gaol in 1840. These improvements had not been made long before the Great Famine occurred, and Kilmainham was overwhelmed with the increase of prisoners.
Kilmainham Gaol was decommissioned as a prison by the Irish Free State government in 1924. Seen principally as a site of oppression and suffering, there was at this time no declared interest in its preservation as a monument to the struggle for national independence. The jail's potential function as a location of national memory was also undercut and complicated by the fact that the first four Republican prisoners executed by the Free State government during the Irish Civil War were shot in the prison yard.
The Irish Prison Board contemplated reopening it as a prison during the 1920s but all such plans were finally abandoned in 1929. In 1936 the government considered the demolition of the prison but the price of this undertaking was seen as prohibitive. Republican interest in the site began to develop from the late 1930s, most notably with the proposal by the National Graves Association, a Republican organisation, to preserve the site as both a museum and memorial to the 1916 Easter Rising. This proposal received no objections from the Commissioners of Public Works, who costed it at £600, and negotiations were entered into with the Department of Education about the possibility of relocating artefacts relating to the 1916 Rising housed in the National Museum to a new museum at the Kilmainham Gaol site. The Department of Education rejected this proposal seeing the site as unsuitable for this purpose and suggested instead that paintings of nationalist leaders could be installed in appropriate prison cells. However, with the advent of the Emergency the proposal was shelved for the duration of the war.
An architectural survey commissioned by the Office of Public Works after World War II revealed that the prison was in a ruinous condition. With the Department of Education still intransigent to the site's conversion to a nationalist museum and with no other apparent function for the building, the Commissioners of Public Works proposed only the prison yard and those cell blocks deemed to be of national importance should be preserved and that the rest of the site should be demolished. This proposal was not acted upon.
In 1953 the Department of the Taoiseach, as part of a scheme to generate employment, re-considered the proposal of the National Graves Association to restore the prison and establish a museum at the site. However, no advance was made and the material condition of the prison continued to deteriorate.
From the late 1950s, a grassroots movement for the preservation of Kilmainham Gaol began to develop. Provoked by reports that the Office of Public Works was accepting tenders for the demolition of the building, Lorcan C.G. Leonard, a young engineer from the north side of Dublin, along with a small number of like-minded nationalists, formed the Kilmainham Gaol Restoration Society in 1958. In order to offset any potential division among its members, the society agreed that they should not address any of the events connected with the Civil War period in relation to the restoration project. Instead, a narrative of the unified national struggle was to be articulated. A scheme was then devised that the prison should be restored and a museum built using voluntary labour and donated materials.
With momentum for the project growing, the Irish Congress of Trade Unions informed the society that they would not oppose their plan and the Building Trades Council gave it their support. It is also likely that Dublin Corporation, which had shown an interest in the preservation of the prison, supported the proposal. At this time the Irish government was coming under increasing pressure from the National Graves Association and the Old IRA Literary and Debating Society to take action to preserve the site. Thus, when the society submitted their plan in late 1958 the government looked favourably on a proposal that would achieve this goal without occasioning any significant financial commitment from the state.
In February 1960 the society's detailed plan for the restoration project, which notably also envisioned the site's development as a tourist attraction, received the approval of the notoriously parsimonious Department of Finance. The formal handing over of prison keys to a board of trustees, composed of five members nominated by the society and two by the government, occurred in May 1960. The trustees were charged a nominal rent of one penny rent per annum to extend for a period of five years at which point it was envisaged that the restored prison would be permanently transferred to the trustees' custodial care.
Commencing with a workforce of sixty volunteers in May 1960, the society set about clearing the overgrown vegetation, trees, fallen masonry and bird droppings from the site. By 1962 the symbolically important prison yard where the leaders of the 1916 Rising were executed had been cleared of rubble and weeds and the restoration of the Victorian section of the prison was nearing completion. It opened to the public on 10 April 1966. The final restoration of the site was completed in 1971 when Kilmainham Gaol chapel was re-opened to the public having been reroofed and re-floored and with its altar reconstructed. The Magill family acted as residential caretakers, in particular, Joe Magill who worked on the restoration of the gaol from the start until the Gaol was handed over to the Office of Public works.
It now houses a museum on the history of Irish nationalism and offers guided tours of the building. An art gallery on the top floor exhibits paintings, sculptures and jewellery of prisoners incarcerated in prisons all over contemporary Ireland.
Kilmainham Gaol is one of the biggest unoccupied prisons in Europe. Now empty of prisoners, it is filled with history.
In 2013, Kilmainham courthouse located beside the prison, which had remained in operation as a seat of the Dublin District court until 2008 was handed over to the OPW for refurbishment as part of a broader redevelopment of the Gaol and the surrounding Kilmainham Plaza in advance of the 100th anniversary of the 1916 Rising. The courthouse opened in 2015 as the attached visitor's centre for the Gaol.

Merci énormément pour vos commentaires, ils sont toujours très appréciés.
Je ne surprendrai personne en disant que la province de l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard est principalement agricole et que la culture principale est la pomme de terre (patate). Toutefois il y a des fermes laitières et qui dit ferme laitière dit champs de culture de maïs et de foin. Lors de notre visite à l'Île cet été au début du mois d'août en attendant la première célébration de vie d'un de mes neveux, nous avons la chance de nous retrouver dans un petit chalet d'amis de ma sœur face au golf du Saint-Laurent sur une falaise entourée de champs de maïs et de foin. Lors d'une fin d'après-midi à l'heure dorée, alors que je photographiais des parulines jaunes dans la petite lisière d'arbustes entre les deux champs près du petit chalet, j'ai remarqué que l'intérêt des parents parulines jaunes était porté sur leur progéniture qui semblait effectuer ses premières envolées en solo au-dessus du champ de maïs. J'ai donc immédiatement changé mes ajustements caméra et voici ce que j'ai réussi à capter. Une paruline jaune lors d'un de ses premières envolées. Elle parcourait une cinquantaine de pieds au-dessus du champ de maïs et faisait demi-tour pour revenir dans la sécurité des buissons qui étaient très denses où se trouvaient ses parents.
Voici deux prises de ma série, la première alors qu'elle exécute son demi-tour et la deuxième quand elle entre dans les buissons.
Sea View, Prince Edward Island, Canada.
Thank you so much for your comments; they are always greatly appreciated.
It won't surprise anyone if I say that the province of Prince Edward Island is primarily agricultural, with potatoes being the main crop. However, there are dairy farms, and dairy farms also mean corn and hay fields. During our visit to the Island this summer in early August, while awaiting the first celebration of life for one of my nephews, we were lucky enough to find ourselves in a small cottage owned by my sister's friends, facing the West and the beautiful Golf of Saint-Laurent, on a cliff surrounded by corn and hay fields. One late afternoon during golden hour, while photographing yellow warblers in the small strip of shrubs between the two fields near the small cottage, I noticed that the parent Yellow Warblers were most interested in their offspring, which appeared to be making their first solo flights over the cornfield. So I immediately adjusted my camera settings, and here's what I managed to capture: A juvenile Yellow Warbler on one of its first flights. It flew about 50 feet over the cornfield and then turned around to return to the safety of the very dense bushes where its parents were.
Here are two shots from my series, the first as it made its u-turn, and the second as it's close to entering the bushes.
Le Schlossbrücke « Pont du Château» situé au Unter den Linden 1, Berlin, Allemagne.
Construit de 1821 à 1824, pour remplacer un vieux pont de bois, c'est une autre œuvre néo-classique de l'architecte Karl Friedrich Schinkel et un des ponts les plus connus de Berlin traversant la Spree.
Le pont est décoré de 8 statues de marbre de Carrare représentant des personnages de la mythologie grecque, Iris, Nike et Athéna. Les statues des guerriers guidés par les déesses de la Victoire furent dessinées par Karl Friedrich Schinkel, mais exécutées entre 1847 et 1857 par les élèves du sculpteur Christian Daniel Rauch. La balustrade en fonte est ornée de motifs marins représentant des dauphins, des chevaux de mer ou encore des tritons.
Le nom du pont fait référence à l’ancienne résidence royale de des Hohenzollern qui se dressait à l’est de la Spree (juste au sud de la Berliner Dom) jusqu'à la chute de l'Empire allemand en 1918. Après la réunification allemande, l'édifice communiste qui l’avait remplacé a été démoli et le Bundestag a reconstruit le château à l'identique. Les travaux commencés en 2013 se sont terminés en 2020. Le nouvel édifice abrite le musée du Forum Humboldt.
En arrière-plan, on remarque la façade rose du Deutsches Historisches Museum situé au Unter den Linden 2. Datant du début des années 1700, cet ancien arsenal est considéré comme le plus vieux bâtiment sur le boulevard. Il est certainement l'un des plus beaux, fait dans le style baroque dominé par Minerve, la déesse de la Sagesse. Depuis la réunification, il abrite le Deutches Historisches Museum ou Musée historique allemand.
Berlin est la capitale et la plus grande ville d'Allemagne et la ville la plus peuplée de l'Union européenne. Située dans le Nord-Est du pays, c'est également l'un des seize Länder de la République fédérale.
Fondée au 13e siècle, Berlin a été successivement capitale de l'électorat du Brandebourg (1247-1701), du royaume de Prusse (1701-1871), de l'Empire allemand (1871-1918), de la république de Weimar (1919-1933) et du Troisième Reich (1933-1945). Après 1945 et jusqu'à la chute du mur de Berlin en 1989, la ville est partagée en quatre secteurs d'occupation. Pendant la guerre froide, le secteur soviétique de la ville, nommé Berlin-Est, est devenu la capitale de la République démocratique allemande, alors que Berlin-Ouest était politiquement rattachée à la République fédérale d'Allemagne, devenant ainsi un bastion avancé du « Monde libre » à l'intérieur du Bloc communiste.
Après la chute du mur, Berlin redevint, en 1990, la capitale de l'Allemagne alors réunifiée, et les principales institutions fédérales y emménagèrent en 1999.

Mon PLUS FORTE et ABSOLUE condamnation de ce nouvel acte de l'HORREUR et de la BARBARIE. Et mon profonde et plus sincère ESTIME et RESPECT pour toutes les victimes, leurs familles et amis, et pour tous le Peuple Français.
Alors que je suis écrivant ces lignes, Paris est encore sous le feu et la méchanceté de ceux qui ne connaissent pas la langue plus que la VIOLENCE et la TERREUR.
Nous sommes tous Paris, nous sommes tous La France.
Debido a los BRUTALES y SANGRIENTOS atentados llevados a cabo en París en las últimas horas, he decidido eliminar el TITULO, la MÚSICA y el TEXTO anterior de esta imagen.
Mi más ENÉRGICA y ABSOLUTA condena ante esta nueva muestra de HORROR y BARBARIE. Y mi más profundo y sincero RESPECTO para todas las víctimas, sus familias y amigos, y para todo el Pueblo Francés.
Mientras escribo estas líneas, París sigue bajo el fuego y la maldad de aquellos que no conocen más lenguaje que la VIOLENCIA y el TERROR.
Todos somos París, todos somos Francia.
Due to the BRUTAL and BLOODY attacks carried out in Paris in the last few hours, I decided to delete the TITLE, MUSIC and previous TEXT of this image.
My most STRONGEST and ABSOLUTE condemnation of this new act of HORROR and BARBARISM. And my deepest and most sincere RESPECT to the victims, their families and friends, and for all the French People.
As I write these lines, Paris is yet under the fire and the wickedness of those who do not know more language than the VIOLENCE and TERROR.
We are all Paris, we are all France.
Des peintures ont été exécutées sur le mur entourant le chœur entre les années 1316 et 1324. Elles ont été badigeonnées à la fin du XVIIIe siècle. Elles représentaient la lapidation et ensevelissement de saint Étienne, le baptême du préfet Dioscorus par saint Genoulph, l'Adoration des Mages, le Couronnement de la Vierge, la consécration de l'autel de la Vierge de Rocamadour par saint Martial et le martyre de sainte Valérie. Elles ont été redécouvertes en 1872 par le peintre et sculpteur de Cahors, Cyprien Calmon. Il en a commencé la restauration en 1873. Si cette restauration reste modérée sur le panneau du couronnement de la Vierge, les panneaux représentant la lapidation de saint Étienne sur le piédroit de l'arc-doubleau du côté nord et l'Adoration des Mages sont entièrement repeints. Les autres panneaux sont des compositions de Cyprien Calmon (1837-1901) qui les a signés.
PLEASE COMMENT IF YOU FAVE!
Little story:
I saw the funko of this guy in a target, and honestly he just looked so cool. I don't think he's going to be in any The Last Jedi sets, so I made him myself.
First Order Executioner-
The base is a regular first Order storm trooper with tons of additions.
The legs have a bunch of additional details. Arms are sculpted and have etape cause I wasn't painting a straight line.
The helmet is modded a bit, and yeah that's pretty much it.
The staff is made of a rod and chain parts.
And that's it!
Thanks!

Colonnade Arch glows from within (Gary Clendening conceived and executed the lighting) under the colder glow of the Milky Way.
The lights of Moab create the glow on the horizon. Colonnade Arch is near Keg Knoll and on the western rim of the Green River Canyon. The Andromeda Galaxy is very close to third, smallest window.
Colonnade Arch, also known as Five Hole Arch, is described by geologists as a buttressed alcove, and has three windows looking to the south and two windows looking up--it is a fascinating structure with just one approach. It sits on the edge of a precipitous drop into Two Mile Canyon to the south and a view of the Green River to the southeast.
Gary Clendening and I checked the route during the day, recording GPS waypoints, and then walked returned on a moonless night at 2 AM, walking across slickrock for more than a mile. Quite an adventure.
