Not such a clear shot as the forerunner but still an interesting image as the Sea King Helicopter removes a man from the Lifeboat at Eastbourne, Sussex.
General Philip Sheridan before the 1875 Texas Legislature about the buffalo hunters..."These men have done in the last two years, and will do more in the next year, to settle the vexed Indian question, than the entire regular army has done in the last thirty years. They are destroying the Indian's commissary; if you will; but, for the sake of a lasting peace, let them kill, skin, and sell until the buffaloes are exterminated. Then your prairies can be covered with speckled cattle, and the festive cowboy, who follows the hunter as a second forerunner of an advanced civilization."

This was only a seemingly easy theme. When what I tried to do with a lily in a flower pot on the window sill didn't work as imagined (same with a eucalyptus leaf) a bunch of untimely tulips came to the rescue. Spring and tulip season are still months away, but our favourite flower stall at the Saturday market already sells tulips and since this winter is so drab and dark they are a most welcome forerunner of spring.
I kind of blocked myself out with this theme but didn't want to skip again, so I tried to focus on at least taking a decent image. I did focus stacking to achieve the best possible overall sharpness. No in-camera stacking this time because of the fairly large DOF that is to be covered when photographing the inside of a tulip blossom straight from above. So I kept the focus distance settings in the stacking menu at 10 (on a scale from one to 10) and combined the 30 images in Helicon Focus (method B, R8, S4). I must admit that the tulip's stigma is a little off-center but I think it adds a little pizazz to the scene (at least I hope so) so I left it as it was (plus I didn't want to take even more images, and I was also late in the game).
HMM, Everyone!

While on Parliament Hill we looked at some of the many statues around the Centre Block. This one, technically a monument, which we are showing only part of in this photo, is called "Women Are Persons!". I'm sharing tea and biscuits here with Henrietta Edwards, on the left, and Louise McKinney. Here is their story:
The Famous Five
In 1929, five women won the Persons Case.
The case led to a court ruling that declared women as persons under the law and made them eligible for appointment to the Senate in Canada.
Edmonton artist Barbara Paterson created larger-than-life sculptures to commemorate the five women in a monument entitled "Women are Persons!"
Inaugurated in 2000, the sculptures show the five women celebrating their important legal victory. An empty chair (not shown here) allows visitors to actively participate in the monument.
The five women are:
Henrietta Muir Edwards (1849–1931)
Journalist, suffragist and organizer, Edwards started the Working Girls' Association in 1875. This organization was a forerunner of the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA). Later in life, she moved to Alberta and wrote two books about the effect of federal laws on women and children.
Louise McKinney (1868–1931)
A politician and temperance campaigner, McKinney was
president of the Dominion Women's Christian Union. She was elected to the Alberta legislature in 1917, representing the Non-Partisan League.
Nellie McClung (1873–1951)
Novelist, journalist, suffragist and temperance worker, McClung was a member of the Alberta legislature. She was the only woman on the Dominion War Council and the first woman on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) board of governors.
Irene Parlby (1868–1965)
A suffragist and politician, Parlby was elected president of the women's branch of the United Farmers of Alberta in 1916. She became a member of the Alberta legislature in 1921. Parlby was still a member of Alberta legislature at the time of the Persons Case.
Emily Murphy (1868–1933)
The instigator of the Persons Case, a writer and the first woman magistrate in the British Empire, Murphy pioneered married women's rights. She was National President of the Canadian Women's Press Club from 1913 to 1920, vice-president of the National Council of Women and first president of the Federated Women's Institutes of Canada.

We did wonder whether these were the forerunner to a thunder storm, but we managed to walk the few miles back home in the lovely sunshine. Seems the storm that did eventually arrive missed us and hit Manchester about 20 miles away instead. The photo is taken from the Soyland area looking out across towards Lumb and Cottonstones, the village church is just off to the right of the picture.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
Cherry blossoms,"sakigake (forerunner)" is, as its name implies, a harbinger of the cherry blossom season in Kyoto.
桜, "魁(さきがけ)”
平野神社発祥の枝垂れ桜でこの桜が咲くと京都の花見が始まると言われているそうです。
The forerunner of winter arrives and blows the autumn color from nature's canvas. Leaves flutter like butterflies, in one last glorious show. As they do and as they must, fall to the ground, returning to the soil and providing nurture for the spring to come. Alas, as with all sad partings, we hope for another glorious reunion. Encore, please!

Bolshoy Gostiny Dvor a monument of history and architecture of the 18th century, in the past - the central wholesale Gostiny Dvor, from the beginning of the 20th century - a department store. Architect Jean Baptiste Wallen-Delamot. It is under the protection of UNESCO. Located in the historical center of St. Petersburg, it occupies a quarter between Nevsky Prospekt (house number 35), Sadovaya Street, Lomonosov Street and Perinnaya Line. The building overlooks the lobby of the Gostiny Dvor metro station.
The commercial premises of the Gostiny Dvor are 13,000 m², while the area of the entire complex of buildings of the department store is 78,000м
The forerunner of this Gostiny Dvor was the Mytny Dvor near the Green Bridge by architect N.F. Gerbel. When it burned down in a fire in 1738, it was decided not to restore the old building, but to build a new Gostiny Dvor closer to the city border.
Gostiny Dvor was created as the largest retail space in the Russian Empire.
The history of its creation begins with the decree of Elizabeth (1748) on the construction of Gostiny Dvor on one floor in the cellars with galleries. In 1752, the building was conceived as a two-story building.
In the 1750s, Rinaldi's project was rejected.
In 1757, the Rastrelli project was approved. The construction was to be financed by merchants. In 1758, a decree was issued "on the construction of the stone Gostiny Dvor according to the plan of the chief architect Rastrelli"; the shops built by the merchants were commanded to give them into the eternal and hereditary possession .According to Rastrelli's project, the building was supposed to be richly decorated with stucco and sculptures and not be inferior to palaces in splendor. Work began in 1757, but funding issues dragged on, and the project was eventually revised.
Ultimately, Vallen-Delamot became the author of the Gostiny Dvor. He retained the general layout of Rastrelli and built the building in the early classicism style. Construction lasted over twenty years - from 1761 to 1785 .
In the 1840s, Gostiny Dvor became one of the first buildings where gas lighting was
Nevskaya line, view from the street
During the war, the building was badly damaged by bombing and shelling. The competition of projects for the restoration of Gostiny Dvor began to be held back in the blockade - in 1942. In 1945-1948, the Gostiny Dvor was restored.
The restoration of the building was carried out according to the project and under the guidance of the famous Leningrad architect O. L. Lyalin. The facades again took on a form close to Delamot's plan; a new pediment decorated with deep bas-reliefs was erected over the main portico. A linden alley was planted along the main facade along Nevsky Prospekt.
On October 14, 1948, by a resolution of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, Gostiny Dvor was recognized as an architectural monument subject to state protection.
In 1955-1967, a new reconstruction was carried out. Architects I. A. Vaks and L. S. Katonin and engineer M. I. Yunoshev (Lenproekt Institute) turned the previously isolated shops into a cross-section. 178 stores were replaced by a single department store "Gostiny Dvor" - the main department store in Leningrad. On November 3, 1967, a metro station was opened in the building. The ground lobby, built into the building of the department store, was designed by architects A.K. Andreev, Ya. E. Moskalenko, engineer S.P.Schukin. From the lobby you can get to the trading halls of the Nevskaya and Sadovaya lines. Above the escalator is a stained-glass window (artist A. L. Korolev), which depicts the shooting of the July 1917 demonstration at the intersection of Sadovaya Street and Nevsky.
Location of trading places along the lines. 1917
The line, near the Gostiny Dvors, is the same as the shopping mall in relation to a part of the market; a chain of trading places ("shops"), stretching in a straight line along the city passage or (in the case of an internal location) parallel to other lines. The names of the lines were given according to the type of goods offered in the corresponding malls, or by the names of the streets to which the given mall goes.
The building of Bolshoy Gostiny Dvor in St. Petersburg has four street facades of different lengths. In a clockwise listing:
Sadovaya street - the longest facade
Chernyshev Lane (now Lomonosov Street) - the shortest facade
Perinnaya Street (together with Dumskaya Street were considered two separate streets) - the second longest facade
Nevsky Prospect is the third longest facade
In addition to trading places located in lines along the facades of the historic building, as well as in its courtyard, as of 1917, the Bolshoi Gostiny Dvor also included lines located in buildings on the opposite side of the streets:
along Chernyshev Lane
along Dumskaya street in two parts, north and south
on Nevsky Prospect
This enumeration includes facades (lines):
buildings of Maly Gostiny Dvor on Chernyshev Lane and Dumskaya Street, which together with the facade along the Catherine Canal (now the Griboyedov Canal) made up the so-called furniture rows
the building of the City Duma at the corner of Nevsky and Dumskaya streets, where the so-called silver rows were located on the first floor.
As of 1917, the lines and independent trading rows of Gostiny Dvor, both in the main building and outside it, were called:
Mirror line (now Sadovaya line) - all rows along Sadovaya street
Bolshaya Surovskaya line (now Perinnaya line) - all rows of the main building facing Perinnaya street, and through it to Dumskaya (today both of them are considered to be sides of the same Dumskaya street)
Malaya Surovskaya Line (now Lomonosovskaya Line) - the rows of the main building facing Chernyshev Lane (now Lomonosov Street)
Banking Line (ceased to exist) - shopping arcade on the side of Chernyshev Lane opposite to the buildings of Bolshoy and Maly Gostiny Dvors, from Sadovaya Street to Ekaterininsky Canal
The line along Nevsky Prospekt (the current name is Nevskaya Line) - the historical name Sukonnaya Line was lost by 1916.
Church in honor of the Conception of John the Baptist.
The name of the church continues the tradition from the end of the 18th century, according to which the church of the suburban village of Bilichi was named in honor of the Prophet John, the Forerunner and Baptist of the Lord. The previous village temple was destroyed by the authorities in the 1960s.
In 2006, the construction of a large brick temple of the Conception of John the Baptist in the Byzantine style began.
Храм на честь Зачаття Іоанна Хрестителя.
Найменування храму продовжує традицію від кінця 18 ст., за якою церква приміського села Біличі називалася на честь Пророка Іоанна, Предтечі і Хрестителя Господня. Попередній сільський храм був знищений владою у 1960-і роки.
У 2006 році було розпочато зведення великого цегляного храму Зачаття Іоанна Предтечі у візантійському стилі.
A forerunner for working of 2022 in the sleepy West Country took place on Tuesday 31 May in rather sorry circumstances. Rare visitor 56081 hauled ex-FGW powercars 43197, 43193 and 43069 to their final destination - the scrap yard; several years after handling their final service trains for Great Western Railway (in February 2019 for 43197 and 43193, and December 2018 for 43069 respectively).
The working was the 5U56 10.56 Laira-Newport Docks, seen here passing Bathpool during a decent gap for the high midday sun to burn through the clouds. The convey, running 46 minutes early at this stage, very nearly catching me off guard and I only just about made the shot.
Inkendael Castle
The earliest history of the castle dates back to the late 15th century. At the end of the 17th century, the forerunner of today's castle Inkendael was built. The old castle was demolished around 1860 and replaced by the current castle. Presumably, the old castle remained in use until the new one was fully completed.
The castle was once the country house of Count de Coloma.
Around 1910, the castle was bought by Albert Richir, a notary from Brussels.
In the late 1920s, he had Inkendael Castle extended and modified. He sold it in 1946 to a social organisation that turned it into a medical and healing centre. In the second half of the 20th century, the objectives of the social organisation were constantly adjusted, resulting in an adaptation and extension of the building. The castle has since been integrated into a spacious complex serving as a rehabilitation clinic.
------------------------
De vroegste geschiedenis van het kasteel gaat terug tot eind 15e eeuw. Op het einde van de 17e eeuw werd de voorloper van het huidige kasteel Inkendael gebouwd. Het oude kasteel werd omstreeks 1860 gesloopt en vervangen door het huidige kasteel. Vermoedelijk bleef het oude kasteel in gebruik tot het nieuwe volledig voltooid was.
Het kasteel was ooit het landhuis van graaf de Coloma.
Rond 1910 werd het kasteel aangekocht door Albert Richir, een notaris uit Brussel.
Einde jaren 1920 liet hij het kasteel Inkendael uitbreiden en aanpassen. Hij verkocht het in 1946 aan een sociale organisatie die er een genees- en heelkundig centrum van maakten. In de tweede helft van de 20e eeuw werden de doelstellingen van de sociale organisatie voortdurend bijgestuurd, wat een aanpassing en uitbreiding van het gebouw tot gevolg had. Het kasteel is sindsdien geïntegreerd in een ruim complex dat dienst doet als revalidatiekliniek.
The Douglas Aircraft Co. developed the B-18 to replace the Martin B-10 as the U.S. Army Air Corps' standard bomber. Based on the Douglas DC-2 commercial transport, the prototype B-18 competed with the Martin 146 (an improved B-10) and the four-engine Boeing 299, forerunner of the B-17, at the Air Corps bombing trials at Wright Field in 1935. Although many Air Corps officers judged the Boeing design superior, the Army General Staff preferred the less costly Bolo (along with 13 operational test YB-17s). The Air Corps later ordered 217 more as B-18As with the bombardier's position extended forward over the nose gunner's station.
Though equipped with inadequate defensive armament and underpowered, the Bolo remained the Air Corps' primary bomber into 1941, and the Japanese destroyed some B-18s during the surprise attacks on Dec. 7. By early 1942, improved bombers like the B-17 replaced the Bolo as first-line bombardment aircraft. Many B-18s were then used as transports, or modified as B-18Bs for anti-submarine duty.
Stationed at Wright Field from 1939 to 1942, the B-18A on display was acquired and restored by the museum in 1971. It is painted as a B-18A serving with the 38th Reconnaissance Squadron in 1939.
This is a shot paying homage to the honourable Forerunner St. John the Baptist's birthday, celebrated on June 24th by Greek Orthodox Church. The chapel of St. John stands on a cliff top and is one of the most iconic landmarks of Skopelos Island, Greece; the location is called Kastrí.
Let us remember that St. John preached:
❝Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand❞
[Matthew 3, 2 (KJV)]
There was a time when the forerunners of the present day hibiscus hybrids were scattered all over the globe, especially in places having warm and tropical climatic conditions. Botanists believe that there are eight original hibiscus species that can be considered as ancestors of the striking hibiscus hybrids found today. These ancestors are believed to be native to India, China, Mauritius, Hawaii, Fiji, or Madagascar.
Hibiscus plants bearing white and pink flowers are among the perennially growing plants that are most often cultivated in gardens. Both these varieties are outstanding plants that produce large attractive and bold flowers measuring approximately 5 inches across.
Generally, hibiscus flowers remain on the tree just for a day after blooming. They open in the morning and the flowers begin to wilt by the time it is late afternoon. As if the plants compensate for this poor show by producing copious buds that grow very fast and all keep opening every time.

By artist John Kunthis 2007, this Village of Islington mural, titled Riding the Radials, is located on the east wall of the building at 5110 Dundas Street West. The accompanying plaque for this mural says:
Coordinates: 43.644802 -79.532696
Map
From 1917 to 1931 the old Guelph Radial Line, that ran behind this site, linked communities from Lambton Mills to Guelph. Forerunners of today's electric streetcars, radial trains were so named because they "radiated" from the city centre outwards to neighbouring towns and villages. Long before the construction of provincial highways, radial lines were part of a transportation network that facilitated the integration of communities such as Islington into what is now the Greater Toronto Region.
To evoke feelings of nostalgia, artist John Kuna used a painterly style recalling old coloured postcards and turn of the century paintings. Note how the radial masts are painted so as to form part of the adjacent building to convey a sense that the train is presently docked at station before carrying passengers onwards to their destination.
The castle was built in 1631, together with the village. The architect was the famous Francois Mansart. The client for the construction of the castle was Jean de Choisy (advisor and secretary to the king and the duke of Orléans). It is a forerunner of the classical French architectural style. The building, the gardens and the entire village are planned and austerely symmetrical.
Mansart also designed the original garden. But in the meantime something has changed. When the owners of the castle who had fled before the French Revolution (1789-1799) finally dared to return home, they had the garden tackled immediately. The neglected park was refurbished and redecorated in the natural and romantic style that was totally hip at the time. In the garden there is an enormous pigeon loft, with space for no less than 1600 pigeons. The current French gardens were laid out here at the beginning of the twentieth century.
Since 1951 the castle has been a protected historical monument. The castle has been in the hands of the Forbes family since 1970.

John the Baptist (c. 1st century BC – c. AD 30) was a Judaean preacher active in the area of the Jordan River in the early 1st century AD. He is also known as John the Forerunner in Eastern Orthodoxy, John the Immerser in some Baptist Christian traditions, and Prophet Yahya in Islam. He is sometimes alternatively referred to as John the Baptiser.
Іоанн Хреститель (бл. 1 століття до н. е. – бл. 30 р. н. е.) був іудейським проповідником, який діяв у районі річки Йордан на початку 1 століття нашої ери. Він також відомий як Іоанн Предтеча у східному православ'ї, Іоанн Занурений у деяких баптистських християнських традиціях, і Пророк Яхья в ісламі. Його іноді альтернативно називають Іоанном Хрестителем.
Іоанн Хреститель згадується у всіх чотирьох канонічних Євангеліях та неканонічному Євангелії від Назарянина. Синоптичні Євангелія (Марка, Матвія та Луки) описують Іоанна, який хрестив Ісуса; в Євангелії від Іоанна про це говорять багато хто.

Ein weiteres Foto von diesem wunderschön beleuchteten Riesenrad Roue Parisienne mal wieder auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt in Hagen.
Das nostalgische Riesenrad mit offenen und geschlossenen Gondeln ist eines der schönsten in ganz Europa.
Das Wahrzeichen eines jeden Volksfestes ist das Riesenrad. Die ersten Vorläufer gab es bereits im 17. Jahrhundert. Damals wurde noch von Hand gekurbelt. Die heutigen Modelle überzeugen durch moderne Technik und stilvolle Designs. Das Roue Parisienne zählt ohne Zweifel zu den schönsten. Das Rad erreicht eine Höhe von 48 Metern, verfügt über 36 drehbare Gondeln. Durch das Farbenspiel ist das Roue Parisienne in der Dunkelheit ein besonderer Blickfang, der vielen Fotografen ein willkommenes Motiv ist!
Another photo of this beautifully illuminated Roue Parisienne Ferris wheel at this year's Christmas market in Hagen.
The nostalgic Ferris wheel with open and closed gondolas is one of the most beautiful in Europe.
The Ferris wheel is the landmark of every folk festival. The first forerunners already existed in the 17th century. Back then, they were still cranked by hand. Today's models are characterised by modern technology and stylish designs. The Roue Parisienne is without doubt one of the most beautiful. The wheel reaches a height of 48 metres and has 36 rotating gondolas. The play of colours makes the Roue Parisienne a special eye-catcher in the dark and a welcome motif for many photographers!

"The forerunner of modern off-road vehicles. French engineer Adolphe Kégresse originally developed a half-track car for Tsar Nicholas II of Russia before the First World War. In 1920 André Citroën acquired the rights for the invention and created a separate company to allow Kégresse to further develop and market his ideas for the Autochenille, or caterpillar car. Much publicity was generated using Citroën Kégresse vehicles on a series of ambitious overland expeditions across Africa and Asia. Production vehicles proved popular with the military and, in particular, found use throughout Europe in farming and forestry roles."

The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is the main cathedral of the Assumption Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
A fragment of the Apostolic row of the main iconostasis, in the center of which is the image of Christ the Great Bishop. He is represented on the Throne as King and Priest. To the left of the Savior (on the right in the photo) are addressed to John the Baptist and Paul the Apostle.
Being an ascetic, John the Baptist, whom we call the Forerunner (predecessor of Jesus Christ), lived in the desert, leading an ascetic lifestyle. It was from this desert that he began his appeal to the Jewish people. His first words are identical to what Jesus said when he went out into public ministry: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
When John the Baptist says “repent,” he uses a Hebrew verb that means “turning 180 degrees,” “turning the other way.”
Saint Paul the Apostle with a sword - the apostle was beheaded by a sword during the time of Emperor Nero, possibly during the persecution of Christians in 64. The most prominent Christian missionary, "apostle of nations" and one of the first theologians of Christianity; is not included either among the first 12 apostles or among the next 70 apostles.
In accordance with the teaching of the Apostle Paul about the priesthood of Christ, He is glorified by the Church as the Great Bishop, the High Priest of the new confession, “who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, and is a minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man” (Heb. 8, 1-2).
Собор Успі́ння Пресвятої Богородиці — головний соборний храм Успенської Києво-Печерської Лаври.
На світлині фрагмент Апостольського ряду головного іконостасу, у центрі якого є образ Христа Великого Архієрея. Він представлений на Престолі як Цар та Священик. Ліворуч Спасителя (на фото праворуч) – звернені до Христа Іоанн Предтеча та Апостол Павло.
Як подвижник, Іоанн Хреститель, якого ми називаємо Предтечею (попередником Ісуса Христа), жив у пустелі, ведучи аскетичний спосіб життя. Саме з цієї пустелі він і почав звертатися до єврейського народу. Перші його слова ідентичні тому, що сказав Ісус, коли вийшов на громадське служіння: «Покайтеся, бо наблизилося Царство Небесне».
Говорячи «покайтеся», Іоанн Хреститель використовує давньоєврейське дієслово, яке означає «розворот на 180 градусів», «навернення в інший бік».
Святий апостол Павло з мечем - апостол був обезголовлений мечем за часів імператора Нерона, можливо під час переслідувань християн у 64 році. Найвизначніший християнський місіонер, «апостол народів» та один з перших богословів християнства; не входить ні в число перших 12 апостолів, ні до наступних 70 апостолів.
Відповідно до вчення апостола Павла про священство Христа, Він прославляється Церквою як Великий Архієрей, Первосвященик нового сповідання, «Котрий осів православний престол величі на небесах і є священнодіячем святилища та скинії істинної, яку спорудив Господь, а не людина»
Павло Алепський підкреслював особливості (в іконографічній схемі й тематичній програмі) українського іконостаса. Він звернув увагу на те, що на українських іконостасах праворуч від Деісуса малювали Апостола Павла, цим підкреслюючи його пріоритет між апостолами. Католики ж на чільне місце висували Апостола Петра, який передав владу римському папі; цим папи обґрунтовували свої домагання на зверхність над православними патріархами.

What happened when a meteor a football field wide hit the forerunner of the Appalachian range 300 million years ago when the range was still the high mountain backbone of the Pangaea supercontinent?
A great wide valley, a bowl, was instantly blasted out amidst the mountains. As North America drifted away from Pangea, its tall mountains would be eventually brought low by gravity and its surface eroded. This wide Appalachian valley would become a good place for a city– Middlesboro, Kentucky.
The crater still remains as does the remnants of the meteor.
BTW, this scene from Pinnacle Rock would be the first good glimpse Daniel Boone would have seen of Kentucky, minus the buildings and roads. Boone had no idea he was looking at an impact crater.

When the Jungfernstieg subway station was built in 1932, construction workers came across several old driven piles that belonged to the Alstermühlendamm weir built in 1250, the forerunner of the later Jungfernstieg. Professor Richard Luksch, who at the time taught at the Hamburg School of Arts and Crafts (now the HFBK), designed one of the piles as a gift to the Hanseatic city to become the Jungfernsäule. Seven maidens, as symbols of the seven centuries that the pile had already endured at that time, decorate the column all around at different heights. The design of each young woman is based on a particular century, sometimes in medieval garb, sometimes modern.

Chinese name: 盧廉若公園
Location: Estrada de Adolfo Loureiro, in northern Macau Peninsular, Macau.
Located in the middle of Macau Peninsular at the northern foot of Guia Hill, Lou Lim Ieoc Garden (in Portuguese: Jardim Lou Lim Ieoc) covers an area of 1.78 hectares with scenic landscapes. This elegant garden was modeled after Suzhou Lion Grove Garden, one of the four most famous classic gardens in Suzhou, being the only one with Suzhou classical garden style in Macau. Lou Lim Ieoc Garden was once named "Entertainment Garden" and hailed as one of three famous gardens of Macau many years ago. And in 1992, it was rated as one of Macau’s eights sights. Lou Lim Ieoc Garden is a great place for sightseeing as it has quaint moon gate, shady walkways, grotesque rocks of man-made hills, bamboo groves, towering banyan tress, winding corridors, elegant pavilions, spattering waterfalls, ponds with green lotus, etc. The waterside pavilion is the centerpiece of Lou Lim leoc Garden. Despite it is a traditional Chinese architecture, some western architectural elements are embedded in, such as the external wall painted in light yellow, the favorite color of Portuguese, gothic porticoes, white European-style carvings at the top of porticoes. The barrier close to the pond is painted red, China’s favorite color. This building reflects the fusion of oriental and western cultures.
It was initially a vegetable plot and was purchased by a Macau Turpan, whose son Lou Lim leoc spent a large sum of money to convert it into a private garden. Lou Lim Ieoc Garden was the largest private garden in Macau. The construction started 1904 and took 21 years to finish. The garden was changed hand due to the Lu family’s bankruptcy, until it was purchased by Macau government in 1970s. After renovation it was opened to the public in 1974. At the turn of 21st century, Lou Lim Ieoc Garden was famed as the show place of Cantonese opera. Sun Yat-sen, the forerunner of Chinese democratic revolution, once stayed in this garden to meet celebrities of China, Macau and Portugal, and revolutionists.
