The church hosts also a marking in the form of a meridian line inlaid in the paving of the left aisle in 1655; it was calculated and designed by the astronomer Giovanni Domenico Cassini, who was teaching astronomy at the University. A meridian line does not indicate the time: instead, with its length of 66.8 metres (219 ft) it is one of the largest astronomical instruments in the world, allowing measurements that were for the time uniquely precise. The sun light, entering through a 27.07 mm (1.066 in) hole placed at a 27.07 m (88.8 ft) height in the church wall, projects an elliptical image of the sun, which at local noon falls exactly on the meridian line and every day is different as to position and size. The position of the projected image along the line allows to determine accurately the daily altitude of the sun at noon, from which Cassini was able to calculate with unprecedented precision astronomical parameters such as the obliquity of the ecliptic, the duration of the tropical year and the timing of equinoxes and solstices. On the other hand, the size of the projected sun's image, and in particular its rate of variation during the year, allowed Cassini the first experimental verification of Kepler's laws of planetary motion.
Cassini and Domenico Guglielmini published an illustrated account of how the meridian line was accomplished in 1695.

La iglesia también alberga una marca en forma de línea meridiana incrustada en el pavimento de la nave izquierda en 1655; fue calculada y diseñada por el astrónomo Giovanni Domenico Cassini, que enseñaba astronomía en la Universidad. Una línea meridiana no indica la hora: en cambio, con su longitud de 66,8 metros (219 pies), es uno de los instrumentos astronómicos más grandes del mundo, lo que permite mediciones que para la época eran excepcionalmente precisas. La luz del sol, que entra a través de un orificio de 27,07 mm (1,066 pulgadas) colocado a 27,07 m (88,8 pies) de altura en el muro de la iglesia, proyecta una imagen elíptica del sol, que al mediodía local cae exactamente sobre la línea meridiana y cada día es diferente en cuanto a posición y tamaño. La posición de la imagen proyectada a lo largo de la línea permite determinar con precisión la altitud diaria del sol al mediodía, a partir de la cual Cassini pudo calcular con una precisión sin precedentes parámetros astronómicos como la oblicuidad de la eclíptica, la duración del año trópico y la sincronización de los equinoccios y solsticios. Por otra parte, el tamaño de la imagen proyectada del sol, y en particular su tasa de variación a lo largo del año, permitieron a Cassini la primera verificación experimental de las leyes de Kepler sobre el movimiento planetario.
Cassini y Domenico Guglielmini publicaron un relato ilustrado de cómo se logró la línea del meridiano en 1695.

Like a tulip rainbow
Tulips (Tulipa) form a genus of spring-blooming perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes (having bulbs as storage organs). The flowers are usually large, showy and brightly coloured, generally red, pink, yellow, or white (usually in warm colours). They often have a different coloured blotch at the base of the tepals (petals and sepals, collectively), internally. Because of a degree of variability within the populations, and a long history of cultivation, classification has been complex and controversial. The tulip is a member of the Liliaceae (lily) family, along with 14 other genera, where it is most closely related to Amana, Erythronium and Gagea in the tribe Lilieae. There are about 75 species, and these are divided among four subgenera. The name "tulip" is thought to be derived from a Persian word for turban, which it may have been thought to resemble. Tulips originally were found in a band stretching from Southern Europe to Central Asia, but since the seventeenth century have become widely naturalised and cultivated (see map). In their natural state they are adapted to steppes and mountainous areas with temperate climates. Flowering in the spring, they become dormant in the summer once the flowers and leaves die back, emerging above ground as a shoot from the underground bulb in early spring. Wikipedia

Cervera de Pisuerga (Palencia)
Forma parte del importante conjunto rupestre existente en la Montaña Palentina y en el sur de Cantabria, que tuvo su mayor apogeo en los primeros siglos de la Edad Media. Se encuentra en el camino que conduce a la localidad de Vado, cerca de la confluencia de los ríos Pisuerga y Ribera, en un lugar que invita al paseo y recibe el nombre de Vallejera.
Presenta una gran sala rectangular con varias entradas y toscos vanos, a la que se suma una capilla excavada al este, diferenciada del resto por un escalón, que pudo haber estado cerrada mediante un ábside de mampostería. La ermita está rodeada de una necrópolis, fechada entre los siglos VIII y IX, que cuenta con una veintena de tumbas excavadas en la roca, de tipo antropomorfo, de las que pueden verse actualmente una decena.
La ermita y la necrópolis pudieron formar parte de un pequeño complejo monástico que contaría con otros edificios ya inexistentes. Desaparecida esta comunidad monacal, San Vicente pervivió como ermita hasta mediados del siglo XIX, cuando fue abandonada definitivamente.

This photo is for my cousin, someone too close in my heart. He is a young lad who sadly was diagnosed with a rare disease and early Monday morning he joined our creator in the heavens :(
I have never felt much, much pain.
Carlo,
Maybe you're looking at us from up above, with Him.
And everyday you wake up in a paradise,
a place where there is no pain,
no sickness,
no sadness.
A place where you are most loved.
It was too early and sudden. I am not sure if I have gone through the stages of grieving correctly.
It all felt like a dream, a really bad dream and I only wish for is to be awaken.
My dearest, this photo is for you. Not a form of farewell. NO!!! I won't ever say goodbye, for you will always be in our hearts. Always <3
Rovingian Council - Rovingian Council - Exploring the Universal Language of Symbols and Forms by Daniel Arrhakis (2026)
Exploring the Universal Language of Symbols and Forms (I)
Introduction to the Rovingian Quest: The Language of Silence
Rovingian nomadic monks are known for their dedication to the quest for sacred symbols and geometries, transcending the boundaries of traditional ritualistic patterns. For these monks, the spiritual world does not express itself through alphabetic languages, whether spoken or written. Instead, they believe that spiritual communication manifests itself through a visual language composed of geometric forms and patterns that are incorporated into the very structure of Nature and the Universe.
The Language of Silence
By rejecting spoken languages, Rovingians aim to eliminate cultural and mental barriers, seeking a direct and intuitive connection with the cosmos. This connection is achieved through the study and contemplation of sacred geometries, symbols, and ritualistic patterns. Thus, they pave the way for silent communication, a truly profound visual language that allows for a dialogue with the universe without the limitations of words.
The Visual Language: While words vary and disappear over time, the ways in which the triangle or spiral maintains mathematical meaning anywhere in the universe highlight its universal and timeless value.
The Geometric Source Code of the Universe
Rovingians believe that the universe is governed by a fundamental geometric code. Understanding this code allows one to unravel the hidden order of reality. For them, studying sacred geometry is a way to reconnect with the cosmos, treating nature as a true living temple, and the universe as a symbolic book, open to interpretation.
The Living Temple: For the monks, the world does not contain temples; the world is the temple itself. Natural elements, such as a nautilus shell or a quartz crystal, are seen as sacred scriptures. For example, the quartz crystal is not just a mineral, but a geometric lesson on order, clarity, and repetition.

Explorando a Linguagem Universal dos Símbolos e Formas (I)
Introdução à Busca Rovingiana: A Linguagem do Silêncio
Os monges nómadas rovingianos são conhecidos pela sua dedicação à procura de símbolos e geometrias sagradas, ultrapassando as fronteiras dos padrões ritualísticos tradicionais. Para estes monges, o mundo espiritual não se expressa através das línguas alfabéticas, sejam elas faladas ou escritas. Em vez disso, acreditam que a comunicação espiritual se manifesta por uma linguagem visual composta por formas e padrões geométricos que estão incorporados na própria estrutura da Natureza e do Universo.
A Linguagem do Silêncio
Ao rejeitarem as línguas faladas, os rovingianos pretendem eliminar barreiras culturais e mentais, buscando uma ligação direta e intuitiva com o cosmos. Essa conexão é alcançada através do estudo e contemplação das geometrias sagradas, símbolos e padrões ritualísticos. Assim, abrem caminho para uma comunicação silenciosa, uma verdadeira linguagem visual profunda, que permite um diálogo com o universo sem as limitações das palavras.
A Linguagem Visual: Enquanto as palavras variam e desaparecem com o tempo, formas como o triângulo ou a espiral mantêm o significado matemático em qualquer parte do universo, evidenciando o seu valor universal e intemporal.
O Código-Fonte Geométrico do Universo
Os Rovingianos acreditam que o universo é regido por um código geométrico fundamental. Compreender esse código permite desvendar a ordem oculta da realidade. Para eles, estudar as geometrias sagradas é um caminho para se reconectar ao cosmos, tratando a natureza como um verdadeiro templo vivo, e o universo como um livro simbólico, aberto à interpretação.
O Templo Vivo: Para os monges, o mundo não contém templos; o mundo é o próprio templo. Elementos naturais, como uma concha de nautilus ou um cristal de quartzo, são vistos como escrituras sagradas. Por exemplo, o cristal de quartzo não é apenas um mineral, mas sim uma lição geométrica sobre ordem, clareza e repetição.

This old vase/planter has been laying out in the yard for about 5 yrs now....it had a pecan tree in it that was brought from the old house, but by the time I got around to transplanting it, the roots had grown so much that I couldn't get it out of the vase without breaking it!!
The tree is now dead, and I'm waiting for it to decompose enough to free the vase!!!!

Present-day Dardo county broadly corresponds to the heart of the ancient Chakla Kingdom, which until the mid-20th century was governed by the Chakla Gyelpo from Dartsedo town. It therefore includes both the Minyak hinterland of the Tibetan plateau and the plunging gorge formed by the Gyeto chu and Yakra chu tributaries of the Gyarong.
The administrative capital is at Dartsedo (Cn Litang),
Area: 11.125 sq km.
Loch Long at Dornie. While getting gear out and ready for a wee walk up the track the heavens opened up, quick shot and back to the shelter of the car..lol A really nice loch this one with plenty of ops for shooting the camera but not so much on this visit, so a return is def on the cards.

Light Play
“Without the play of light, form is inert and space becomes static; I would like to think that when I design buildings light is one of my first considerations”, remarked leoh Ming Pei in a conversation with writer Gero von Boehm. (1).
The 101 year old Chinese-American modernist architect I. M. Pei, endured a roasting from critics before the giant glass structure opened in 1989, with up to 90 percent of Parisians said to be against the project at one point. « I received many angry glances in the streets of Paris," Pei later said, confessing that "after the Louvre I thought no project would be too difficult ».(2).
« By copying the 51-degree angle of the Great Pyramid at Giza, Pei reproduced a famous icon and symbolically reinforced the Grand Louvre’s pursuit of high culture. At the same time he modernized the antique symbol with transparent glass. Providing a counterpoint to the iconic main pyramid, Pei also added an inverse pyramid and surrounded them with grass and water, intensifying the Egyptian metaphors of life and death. However, from a functional point of view, Pei sought a solution in which he could create an optically minimal volume in the main courtyard for the new entrance, respecting the existing buildings. During the daytime, the sides of the central pyramid reflect the sky. The surrounding water creates a reflecting pool, underlining Pei’s desire to create a light atmosphere and to dematerialize the Egyptian symbol. Even from the underground entrance, visitors can enjoy the view to the surrounding historical Louvre facades. The filigree construction on the underside has turned the icon into a high-tech element, and at night the pyramid appears like an urban jewel in the city of Paris. » (1).
Interestingly, Pei was in the news earlier this week (17 October 2018) when he became the victim of a celebrity death hoax claiming that the 101 year old architect had passed away. Happily, this is not the case and Pei is still very much alive (3).
Happy Window Wednesday!
