FLICKR EXPLORE - May 22, 2009 #275

The lowly dandelion weed makes an interesting subject under the macro lens. In the space of a several days it changes its appearance dramatically, from a very colourful yellow flower to an intricate seeding structure. This weeks images will focus on this interesting plant, in its various life cycle stages. This is #6 in the series of images. To really see this, must view large on black: View On Black

The first 13 images in this set show macro images of the dandelion at various stages in its reproductive cycle. The subsequent 12 images in this set of 25 focus on the microscopic structure of this fascinating "weed".

Tbilisi is the capital and largest city of Georgia, located in the eastern part of the country along the banks of the Kura River. The city has a rich history that spans over 1,500 years and has been influenced by various cultures and civilizations over the centuries. The old part of Tbilisi, known for its charming architecture and unique atmosphere, is one of the most fascinating areas of the city. One of the most striking features of this area is the traditional houses with wooden balconies. These wooden balconies, often adorned with intricate carvings, are a significant element of Tbilisi's urban aesthetic and culture. This old Tbilisi, also known as the Old Town or Dzveli Tbilisi, is one of the oldest parts of the city and has a rich history dating back to the 5th century. Over the centuries, Tbilisi has been influenced by Persian, Byzantine, Arab, and Russian cultures, which is evident in its diverse architectural styles. The houses with wooden balconies are typical of Tbilisi's traditional architectural style and reflect both Georgian and Persian influences. Perched on a steep hill overlooking Tbilisi’s Old Town and the Mtkvari River, Narikala Fortress is one of the city’s most iconic and historic landmarks. Dating back to the 4th century, this ancient fortress has seen the rise and fall of empires and has been a silent guardian of Tbilisi for centuries. Narikala’s origins date back to the founding of the city itself, with the first fortifications believed to have been built by the Persians in the 4th century. Over the centuries, the fortress was expanded and strengthened by various ruling powers, including the Umayyads in the 7th century, the Mongols in the 12th century, and later by Georgian kings. Within Narikala’s walls, you’ll find the restored St. Nicholas Church, originally built in the 12th century and rebuilt in the 1990s. The church’s interior is decorated with frescoes depicting scenes from Georgian history and the Bible. Visitors can reach the fortress by taking a scenic walk through the old town or by taking the modern cable car from Rike Park.

Narikala Fortress, perched on a steep hill overlooking the old town of Tbilisi and the Mtkvari River, is one of the city's most iconic and historic landmarks. This ancient fortress, dating back to the 4th century, has witnessed the rise and fall of empires and has been a silent guardian of Tbilisi for centuries. The old part of Tbilisi below the fortress, with its characteristic houses featuring wooden balconies, offers a fascinating insight into the history and culture of the city. The baths in the city centre are an important historical and cultural attraction. These baths, known as the sulphur baths, have characteristic domed roofs, which are partly underground to keep the heat inside. Historically, the baths played an important role as social meeting places. People came here not only to bathe, but also to talk, relax and do business. These charming architectural elements are a must-see for anyone who wants to experience Tbilisi's rich traditions and unique heritage.

Tbilisi is de hoofdstad en grootste stad van Georgië, gelegen in het oosten van het land aan de oevers van de rivier de Koera. De stad heeft een rijke geschiedenis die meer dan 1.500 jaar teruggaat en heeft door de eeuwen heen vele invloeden ondergaan van diverse culturen en beschavingen. Het oude gedeelte van Tbilisi, bekend om zijn charmante architectuur en unieke sfeer, is een van de meest fascinerende delen van de stad. Een van de meest opvallende kenmerken van dit gebied zijn de traditionele huizen met houten balkonnetjes. Deze houten balkons, vaak versierd met delicate houtsnijwerken, zijn een belangrijk element van de stedelijke esthetiek en cultuur van Tbilisi. Oorspronkelijk dienden deze balkons praktische doelen, zoals het bieden van extra leefruimte en het creëren van schaduw tijdens de warme zomers, maar tegenwoordig zijn ze vooral een esthetisch en cultureel kenmerk van de stad. De baden in het centrum zijn een belangrijke historische en culturele trekpleister. Deze baden, vooral bekend als de zwavelbaden en hebben kenmerkende koepelvormige daken, die deels ondergronds zijn om de warmte binnen te houden. Historisch gezien speelden de badhuizen een belangrijke rol als sociale ontmoetingsplaatsen. Mensen kwamen hier niet alleen om te baden. Het Narikala-fort, gelegen op een steile heuvel met uitzicht op de oude stad van Tbilisi en de Mtkvari-rivier, is een van de meest iconische en historische bezienswaardigheden van de stad. Dit oude fort, dat dateert uit de 4e eeuw, heeft de opkomst en ondergang van rijken meegemaakt en is al eeuwenlang een stille bewaker van Tbilisi. De oorsprong van Narikala gaat terug tot de oprichting van de stad zelf, met de eerste vestingwerken waarvan men denkt dat ze in de 4e eeuw door de Perzen zijn gebouwd. Door de eeuwen heen werd het fort uitgebreid en versterkt door verschillende heersende machten, waaronder de Omajjaden in de 7e eeuw, de Mongolen in de 12e eeuw en later door de Georgische koningen. Binnen de muren van Narikala vindt u de gerestaureerde St. Nicholas Church, oorspronkelijk gebouwd in de 12e eeuw en herbouwd in de jaren 90. Het interieur van de kerk is versierd met fresco's die scènes uit de Georgische geschiedenis en de Bijbel afbeelden. Bezoekers kunnen het fort bereiken door een mooie wandeling door de oude stad te maken of door de moderne kabelbaan te nemen vanaf Rike Park.
