The Grand Canal (Italian: Canal Grande, Venetian: Canałasso) is a canal in Venice, Italy. It forms one of the major water-traffic corridors in the city. Public transport is provided by water buses (Italian: vaporetti) and private water taxis, and many tourists explore the canal by gondola. At one end, the canal leads into the lagoon near the Santa Lucia railway station and the other end leads into Saint Mark Basin; in between, it makes a large reverse-S shape through the central districts (sestieri) of Venice. It is 3,800 m long, 30–90 m wide, with an average depth of five meters (16.5 ft).
Because most of the city's traffic goes along the Canal rather than across it, only one bridge crossed the canal until the 19th century, the Rialto Bridge. There are currently three more bridges, the Ponte degli Scalzi, the Ponte dell'Accademia, and the recent, controversial Ponte della Costituzione, designed by Santiago Calatrava, connecting the train station to Piazzale Roma, one of the few places in Venice where buses and cars can enter. As was usual in the past, people can still take a ferry ride across the canal at several points by standing up on the deck of a simple gondola called a traghetto, although this service is less common than even a decade ago. Most of the palaces emerge from water without pavement. Consequently, one can only tour past the fronts of the buildings on the grand canal by boat.

The Ca' da Mosto is a thirteenth-century palace in Venice, northern Italy, the oldest building on the Grand Canal. It is in the Veneto-Byzantine style, with high narrow arches and distinctive capitals. The features of the palace show its beginnings as a casa-fondaco, the home and workplace of its original merchant owner. A second floor was added at the beginning of the sixteenth century, and a third in the nineteenth. The palace takes its name from the Venetian explorer Alvise da Ca' da Mosto, who was born in the palace in 1432. It stayed in the da Mosto family until 1603, when Chiara da Mosto left her entire estate to Leonardo Donà dalle Rose, a nephew of her second husband, rather than her da Mosto relatives, with whom she had fallen out. Between the 16th and the 18th centuries the Ca' da Mosto housed the well-known Albergo Leon Bianco (the White Lion Hotel). In 1769 and 1775 the Holy Roman Emperor and son of Maria Theresa, Joseph II, lived here during his stay in Venice.

The Chiesa dei Santi Apostoli di Cristo (English: Church of the Holy Apostles of Christ), commonly called San Apostoli, is a 7th-century Roman Catholic church located in the Cannaregio sestiere of the Italian city of Venice. It is one of the oldest churches in the city and has undergone numerous changes since its foundation. The present building is the result of a major reconstruction project which was undertaken in 1575. The church is notable particularly for the Cornaro Chapel, an important example of Early Renaissance architecture, added by Mauro Codussi during the 1490s. The chapel is the burial place of several members of the powerful Cornaro family, including Catherine Cornaro, Queen of Cyprus. The church houses several works of art including pieces by Giambattista Tiepolo and Paolo Veronese.

Palazzo dei Camerlenghi is a Renaissance palace in Venice, northern Italy, located in the sestiere (quarter) of San Polo. It faces the Canal Grande, near the Rialto Bridge. The palace was built from 1525 to 1528 under design by Guglielmo dei Grigi, who was inspired by the style of Mauro Codussi and Pietro Lombardo. It was the seat of several financial magistrates, including the Camerlenghi whom it takes its name from, the Consuls of the Traders and the Supra-Consuls of the Traders. Due to this function, the lower floor was used as a jail for the insolvents: the location nearby the crowded Rialto Bridge served as an admonition for the people passing there. The palace currently houses the regional seat of the Italian Comptroller and Auditor General. The palace has a pentagonal plan which follows the shore of the Canal Grande, with three floors. It has tall windows with centrings, divided by false columns and decorated with friezes. There were once polyhcrome marble and porphyry slabs, now lost. Due to the Venetian tradition that, when leaving the position, a magistrate would leave a religious-themed painting and a portrait in his former seat, the Palazzo dei Camerlenghi housed numerous artworks. These were dispersed during the French occupation; some returned to Venice, but are now in other locations.
Deconstructed is a commissioned photography project about the industrial zones of Vilnius.
I was asked by Plazma architects (www.plazma.lt) to make a series of photographs for their new urban-themed hotel project. After considering many ideas we decided to explore industrial side of Vilnius – the one that would be the most difficult to explore for a random resident. It took a few months to create a final selection of 10 images.
First of all I wanted to distance this project away from the usual, dirty industry. I’ve wandered in those industrial areas before so I knew that there’re plenty of aesthetic visual exclusivities like expressive colours and forms. Areas are also very secluded so I tried to put some of a mystery and utopia in every single image.
On the first days of shooting I’ve faced some private-area issues, so I immediately moved a project to a new, more difficult level. I decided to construct the images from separate but real fragments.
After printing the test prints it turned out that the original resolution is way too low for 2 meters prints. So I shot every single fragment in parts (something like Brenizer method), merge them and lastly create a final composition from separate fragments.
All places in the images are non-existent. Those are the concentrated reflections of Vilnius’ industry as I see it.

Beauty is a reflection of divine bliss and, since God is Truth, the reflection of His bliss will be that mixture of happiness and truth which is to be found in all beauty.
Forms allow of a direct, 'plastic' assimilation of the truths - or of the realities - of the spirit. The geometry of the symbol is steeped in beauty, which in its turn and in its own way is also a symbol. The perfect form is that in which truth is incarnate in the rigour of the symbolical formulation and in the purity and intelligence of the style.
Beauty mirrors happiness and truth. Without the element of 'happiness' there remains only bare form - geometrical, rhythmical or other - and without the element of 'truth' there remains only a wholly subjective enjoyment or, it might be said, luxury. Beauty stands between abstract form and blind pleasure, or rather so combines them as to imbue veridical form with pleasure and veridical pleasure with form.
Beauty is a crystallization of some aspect of universal joy; it is something limitless expressed by means of a limit.
Beauty is in one sense always more than it gives, but in another sense it always gives more than it is. In the first sense the essence shows as appearance; in the second the appearance communicates the essence.
Beauty is always beyond compare; no perfect beauty is more beautiful than another perfect beauty. One may prefer this beauty to that, but this is a matter of personal affinity or of complementary relationship and not of pure aesthetics. Human beauty, for instance, can be found in each of the major races, yet normally a man prefers some type of beauty in his own race rather than in another; inversely, sometimes affinities between qualitative and universal human types show themselves to be stronger than racial affinities.
Like every other kind of beauty artistic beauty is objective, and so can be discovered by intelligence, not by "taste". Taste is indeed legitimate, but only to the same extent as individual peculiarities are legitimate, that is, just in so far as these peculiarities translate positive aspects of some human norm.
Different tastes should be derived from pure aesthetic and should be of equal validity, just as are the different ways in which the eye sees things. Myopia and blindness are certainly not different ways of seeing - they are merely defects of vision.
In beauty man ’realizes’, passively in his perception and externally in his production of it, that which he should himself 'be' after an active or inward fashion.
When man surrounds himself with the ineptitudes of an art that has gone astray how can he still 'see' what he should 'be'? He runs the risk of 'being' what he 'sees' and assimilating the errors suggested by the erroneous forms among which he lives.
Modern satanism is manifested, no doubt in a very external way but in the most directly tangible way and in the way which makes the greatest inroads, in the unintelligible ugliness of forms. 'Abstracted' people, who never 'see' things, none the less allow themselves to be influenced in their general mental outlook by the forms around them to which they sometimes, with astonishing superficiality, deny all importance, just as though traditional civilizations did not unanimously proclaim the contrary. In this connection the spiritual aesthetics of some of the great contemplatives will be recalled as evidence that, even in a world of normal forms, the sense of the beautiful may acquire a special spiritual importance.

The Pontalba Buildings form two sides of Jackson Square in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana. They are matching red-brick, one-block-long, four‑story buildings built in the late 1840s by the Baroness Micaela Almonester Pontalba.
Baroness Pontalba, an accomplished businesswoman, invested in real estate, purchasing the land on the upriver and downriver sides of the Place d’Armes. She constructed two Parisian-style row house buildings in the 1840s, at a cost of over $300,000. The buildings include the first recorded instance in the city of the use of iron railings, now a prominent feature of the city's residential architecture.
Heatsink.
From the sublime beauty of nature yesterday to the harsh form of human artefact. Still it interests me with it’s patterns and focus blurs.
I can understand why abstracts are less popular on Flickr but I like the way they tease my mind out of its comfortable-in-the-known lethargy. Probably just me {sighs}.
This was taken in June (like yesterday’s) but when I was repairing my TV recorder. I noticed the rather neat main board. How much they have changed since I was last seriously wielding a soldering iron!
Originally I took this for a macro Mondays theme but then decided on something else, far better I am sure. This is the main heatsink on the largest chip.
I’m pretty averse to calling anything cool since the word was appropriated to mean something else, but it kind of fits the subject so the title is a bit of a joke at myself.
This is surprisingly close to the in-camera original. Just a play with colours and a bit of glow.
The 7DWF group is on holiday at the moment so this is just getting posted into the aether on a wish. Happy Thursday anyway :)
Thanks for taking time to look. I hope you enjoy the image!
[Handheld in daylight. Developed in Lightroom mainly to get a range of tones without too many haloes. (My original intention was to make this a black and white or a duotone, but I got sidetracked into a colourful direction). Dropped the colour temperature to get the cool blue.
Processed in Affinity Photo with a bit of work in Curves and Shadows and Highlights to lighten the dark bits.
The layer was duplicated with Glow blend mode to get the soft neon effect, nothing more.
I tried a black frame to see how it worked. Not totally convinced but any comments would be very welcome!]

Setas de Sevilla.El proyecto Metropol Parasol también denominado de forma oficial desde su apertura como Setas de Sevilla es una estructura en forma de pérgola de madera y hormigón ubicada en la céntrica plaza de la Encarnación de la ciudad de Sevilla, en la comunidad autónoma de Andalucía (España). Cuenta con unas dimensiones de 150 metros de largo, 70 metros de ancho y una altura aproximada de 26 metros. Su base alberga un mercado tradicional y locales de restauración en la planta baja, una plaza de espectáculos y el museo arqueológico Antiquarium. La estructura se corona con una terraza y un mirador que ofrece una vista panorámica del casco antiguo de la ciudad.
La obra, compuesta principalmente de madera laminada, está formada por una gran retícula en forma de parasol sostenida sobre seis pilares que abarcan tanto la plaza de la Encarnación como la Plaza Mayor de la ciudad. Cada una de sus costillas componen una distribución espacial donde cada nervadura ofrece una curvatura propia, lo cual aporta al conjunto una sensación de movimiento ondulatorio. Aunque su diseño está inspirado en las bóvedas de la Catedral de Sevilla, por su perfil fungiforme, pronto recibió por parte de los ciudadanos el nombre de ‘Las Setas’.
El proyecto fue el ganador del concurso abierto por el Ayuntamiento de Sevilla para llevar a cabo la rehabilitación de la plaza en la que se ubica. Su diseñador fue el arquitecto berlinés Jürgen Mayer. Por su diseño vanguardista y funciones turísticas, se ha convertido en un icono del centro histórico y de la ciudad de Sevilla. En enero de 2013, el espacio Metropol Parasol fue elegido, entre los 335 proyectos candidatos, como uno de cinco proyectos finalistas del Premio de Arquitectura Contemporánea Mies van der Rohe que conceden bianualmente la Unión Europea y la fundación Fundación Mies van der Rohe.
Las obras comenzaron el 26 de junio de 2005. Las múltiples dificultades que surgieron sobre las obras produjeron controversias y retrasos que triplicaron el coste previsto de la obra hasta llegar a los 100 millones de euros.Finalmente, el Metropol Parasol fue inaugurado el 27 de marzo de 2011 y desde entonces se ha consolidado como uno de los principales atractivos turísticos de la ciudad, llegando a alcanzar el millón de visitantes en su primer año.

Uluru, or Ayers Rock, is a massive sandstone monolith in the heart of the Northern Territory’s arid "Red Centre". The nearest large town is Alice Springs, 450km away. Uluru is sacred to indigenous Australians and is thought to have started forming around 550 million years ago. It’s within Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, which also includes the 36 red-rock domes of the Kata Tjuta (colloquially “The Olgas”) formation.(Wikipedia)

La iglesia de la Santa Cruz es una pequeña iglesia de Baeza (provincia de Jaén, España), de estilo tardo-románico, relativamente inusual en Andalucía oriental, edificada en el siglo XIII, tras la conquista del Valle Alto del Guadalquivir por Fernando III (capitulación de Baeza: 1227).
Forma parte del conjunto monumental renacentista de Baeza, que junto con el de Úbeda, fue declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en 2003.
Cierra por el este la Plaza de Santa Cruz situada en pleno casco histórico de la ciudad. Tiene en frente el Palacio de Jabalquinto, uno de los principales monumentos baezanos actualmente sede de la Universidad Internacional de Andalucía.
La planta presenta tres naves –cubiertas por artesonado de madera a dos aguas– sostenidas por columnas de piedra arenisca, con basas compuestas formadas por dos plintos. La nave central se prolonga en una bóveda de cañón cerrada por un ábside semicircular que estaba cubierto por pinturas al fresco probablemente de principios del s. XVI (aún se distinguen un Calvario y una Santa Cena); el alero del mismo presenta modillones de tipo zamorano. En el lado de la epístola de la mencionada prolongación, aparece un arco de herradura formado por dovelas lisas con rebaje lineal en las juntas y una sola arquivolta que se ha supuesto de origen visigótico, lo que ha permitido elucubrar que la fábrica románica se construyó sobre un edificio anterior. Por su parte, en el lado del evangelio hay dos ampliaciones góticas:
Una capilla de planta rectangular, y cubierta por bóveda de crucería, paralela a la extensión de la nave central cubierta por la bóveda de cañón (cuenta con pinturas al fresco probablemente de principios del s. XVI: Martirio de Santa Catalina, Virgen galactotrofusa, Martirio de San Sebastián);
Una capilla de planta cuadrangular, y cubierta por bóveda de terceletes, a la que se accede por el vano de la antigua puerta norte del templo.
La portada oeste procede de las ruinas de la parroquia de San Juan, mientras la portada sur (única original del templo aún subsistente) tiene características salmantinas.
Algún tratadista ha estimado que esta Iglesia perteneció a la Orden del Temple. En cualquier caso, fue parroquia hasta el siglo XIX, cuando primero pasó a albergar la trasladada parroquia de El Sagrario de la catedral, para más tarde convertirse en ermita auxiliar de la parroquia de El Salvador. En julio de 1936 fue asaltada, siendo destruidos sus bienes muebles. Fue salvada de la consiguiente ruina por la restauración realizada en la década de 1950, momento en que se añadió la portada oeste.

Baeza es un municipio de España, la ciudad capital de dicho municipio y cabeza del partido judicial homónimo. Se encuentra en el mismo centro geográfico de la provincia de Jaén (en el noreste de la Comunidad Autónoma de Andalucía) enclavada en la comarca de La Loma de la que se considera su capital occidental.
En la actualidad es conocida por su ingente producción olivarera, su abundante legado monumental, y por ser sede universitaria desde el siglo XVI, albergando hoy día una de las sedes de la Universidad Internacional de Andalucía.
Denominada "Nido Real de Gavilanes" por el romancero, fue un punto clave en la conquista de al-Ándalus por los reyes cristianos; pasando definitivamente al reino de Castilla en 1227. Atalaya sobre el Guadalquivir, la posesión de su alcázar (considerado como inexpugnable) aseguró la retaguardia castellana, la vez que supuso una amenaza constante para los reinos islámicos situados al oeste y al sur del Guadalquivir; una amenaza que se hizo efectiva durante los más de dos siglos de lucha fronteriza que separaron la incorporación de Baeza al reino de Castilla y la caída del reino nazarí de Granada (1492).
Durante el período de gran crecimiento demográfico y económico que supuso la mayor parte del siglo XVI, y aún en parte del XVII, Baeza construyó sus edificios públicos y administrativos con alto sentido de capitalidad y con la más alta dignidad, conformando así, junto con las construcciones eclesiásticas, un tejido urbano caracterizado por una monumentalidad que ha dado a la ciudad un encanto especial a los ojos del visitante.
En 1943 se fundó en Baeza la academia de las escalas de Cabos y Guardias y de Suboficiales de la Guardia Civil.
Se encuentra a unos 48 km al noreste de la capital provincial, y limita por el este con el municipio de Úbeda, con el que comparte la capitalidad de la histórica Comarca de La Loma.
El 3 de julio de 2003, y tras varios años de intentos, la UNESCO declara finalmente a Baeza (junto a Úbeda) Patrimonio de la Humanidad. Este acontecimiento profundiza el relanzamiento de la ciudad al incrementar considerablemente el interés del sector turístico.

Baeza se asienta sobre un terreno que ha estado continuamente habitado, al menos desde la Edad del Bronce. Por esta razón, y a pesar de las sucesivas destrucciones sufridas por las construcciones de todos los períodos, la ciudad aún retiene un destacado patrimonio monumental en el que están representadas diversas culturas, períodos y estilos artísticos. En Baeza pueden contemplarse restos de la Edad del Bronce, de la Época Romana, y de la Hispania visigoda, islámica y cristiana. No obstante, el más rico patrimonio monumental conservado corresponde a los diversos estilos artísticos presentes en la Baeza cristiana: desde el tardo-románico y el gótico, al renacentista, manierista, barroco y neoclásico. No en vano en 2003 el casco histórico de la población, con su antigua ciudad intramuros, fue declarado Patrimonio Mundial por la Unesco.
Baeza, situada en la cornisa sur de la gran meseta que es La Loma, se asoma al valle del Guadalquivir desde un acantilado que domina un paisaje de cerros infinitos; dicho acantilado, visto desde el llano parece sustentar la catedral como un faro.
La ciudad originaria estaba edificada sobre este cerro y en torno a una ciudadela, hoy desconocida: el celebérrimo alcázar de Baeza, reputado como inexpugnable y dentro del cual se encontraban el castillo-palacio de la autoridad real y la iglesia (luego colegiata) de Santa María del Alcázar. Estas construcciones, lejos de surgir ex novo, fueron una continuación de similares edificaciones de los períodos oretano, cartaginés y romano; restos de los cuales aún pueden contemplarse en el cerro junto a otros de la precedente Edad del Bronce.
Desde esta atalaya entendemos que la ciudad fuera una gran plaza fuerte donde, un día, se remansó la gran epopeya reconquistadora revitalizada por Las Navas de Tolosa. No obstante, a fines del s. XV el alcázar fue derribado por mandato de la reina Isabel la Católica de modo que no siguiera siendo utilizado como defensa con ocasión de las pugnas nobiliarias que enfrentaban por entonces (como en toda Castilla) a los linajes dominantes de la ciudad (Carvajales y Benavides).
Consecuencia del derribo del alcázar, el cerro fue perdiendo pobladores hasta el punto de estar casi despoblado en el s. XVIII y trasladarse por ello la colegiata a la parroquia de San Andrés. También desaparecido el frente sur de la muralla, adyacente al alcázar, el paseo que lo reemplaza es hoy día un mirador excepcional sobre el valle alto del Guadalquivir, y el cerro mismo, un parque arqueológico de primer nivel pendiente de excavaciones más ambiciosas.
Su centro neurálgico es la Plaza de Santa María establecida en la baja edad media, y hasta el s. XIX, como sede de los poderes que rigen la ciudad: el civil y el religioso; en ella se encuentran hoy:
La Catedral de la Natividad de Nuestra Señora: edificada sobre la antigua mezquita que (según tradición histórica) había sido construida a su vez sobre un templo visigodo anterior, fue la primera consagrada en Andalucía con ocasión de la reconquista castellana.
Las Cancillerías góticas o Casas Consistoriales Altas: sede del concejo de la ciudad entre fines del s. XV y el s. XIX, cuando el consistorio municipal traslada su sede al antiguo palacio del corregidor.
La Fuente de Santa María: situada en el centro de la plaza fue edificada en el año 1564 para marcar la finalización de las obras de traída de aguas a la ciudad.
El Seminario de San Felipe Neri (1660): tiene fachada de buena sillería, puerta de medio punto, frontón partido y vítores estudiantiles.
Al norte de este conjunto, y junto a la Puerta del Barbudo, se halla la sede de la antigua universidad Santísima Trinidad, otra importante Institución eclesiástica de la Edad Moderna hoy Instituto. El edificio es de estilo manierista (fines del s. XVI) y consta de claustro, en torno al cual se organizan las dependencias universitarias, y una amplia capilla; contando cada uno de estos elemento con portada propia. Destaca, sobre la puerta de acceso al claustro, el medallón labrado con el tema de la Santísima Trinidad. En esa misma fachada pueden verse los escudos del canónigo Fernández de Córdoba (donante del edificio) timbrados con un impropio galero arzobispal.
De las primeras parroquias intramuros han desaparecido por completo la colegiata de Santa María, San Miguel y San Gil; solo permanecen:
Las Ruinas de la parroquia de San Pedro: iglesia románica de la que sólo se conservan el ábside (parcialmente visible al exterior) y restos considerables de la portada norte (dentro de propiedad particular). Parcelada en viviendas desde el s. XIX, su fábrica ha ido deteriorándose y se han abierto nuevos vanos en el ábside.
Las Ruinas de la parroquia de San Juan: iglesia tardorrománica de la que sólo se conservan los tres ábsides de la cabecera, el muro del lado del evangelio y los capiteles y basas de sus seis columnas. Recientemente, estos restos han sido consolidados y su acceso abierto al público.
La Iglesia de Santa Cruz
Esta última se halla en la plaza del mismo nombre frente al Palacio de Jabalquinto, el más destacado de la ciudad intramuros y uno de los emblemas de Baeza. Pero la ciudad intramuros está, además, plagada de rincones con otros palacios y casonas de interés, como la Casa de Avilés (mediados del s. XVI), la Casa de los Galeote (segunda mitad del s. XVI), la Casa de los Ávila (comienzos del s. XVII), la Casa de los Fuentecilla, la Casa de los Canónigos, el Palacio de los Obispos (todos del s. XVIII) o el Palacio Rubín de Ceballos (principios del s. XIX).
El trazado de la muralla históricamente conocida, y de la que aún subsisten importantes elementos, obedece a un diseño islámico del s. XI. No obstante, las edificaciones conservadas responden más bien a reconstrucciones cristianas posteriores.
La Plaza del Pópulo (o de Los Leones) está inmediatamente al norte de la ciudad amurallada y al oeste de El Paseo, organizándose en torno a la Puerta de Jaén, única construcción de la plaza perteneciente a la muralla; las otras edificaciones de la misma han ido añadiéndose en distintas épocas:
El Arco de Villalar: directamente a continuación de la Puerta de Jaén, fue erigido con ocasión de la visita del rey Carlos I (1526) y conmemora la victoria real en la batalla de Villalar.
La Casa del Pópulo: edificio plateresco que albergaba la audiencia civil y las escribanías públicas; hoy, oficina de turismo.
La Fuente de los Leones: manantial natural que la interpretación histórica tradicional postula monumento arqueológico procedente de la antigua ciudad iberorromana de Cástulo, hipótesis que se sustenta en la continuidad histórica deliberadamente mantenida con ocasión del traslado a Baeza de la capitalidad administrativa y episcopal de la desaparecida Cástulo. Según esta interpretación, parejas de felinos y équidos (actuando como surtidores) rodean una figura femenina identificada como Himilce. Más recientemente, se ha propuesto identificar esta fuente como previamente proveniente de un patio del alcázar.
La Antigua Carnicería (s. XVI): trasladada a su emplazamiento actual en los sesenta del s. XX, estaba originalmente apoyada contra la muralla en la antaño populosa plaza intramuros sita al otro lado de la Puerta de Jaén; hoy cumple las funciones de palacio de justicia del Partido judicial de Baeza.
Al este del conjunto anterior, más allá de El Paseo (plaza cuyo lado sur se antepone a la Puerta del Barbudo) encontramos:
La Torre de los Aliatares (o de los Altares): denominada así de acuerdo con la tradición que la hace, en tiempos anteriores a la reconquista, posesión del linaje musulmán de ese mismo nombre. Tiene veinticinco metros de altura, con almenas copiadas del Arco de Villalar y ostenta el reloj público de la ciudad.
Hacia el sureste de la anterior hallamos:
La Puerta de Úbeda: de las principales de la muralla; protegida por su torre albarrana hoy sólo conserva uno de sus arcos, habiendo sido desmantelados los otros dos en el s. XIX.
La actual Plaza de España, situada en el extremo noreste de lo que fue la ciudad amurallada; se conoce como tal la gran plaza edificada sobre la rambla por la que vienen a desaguar las tres colinas sobre las cuales se asienta la urbe. Su fisonomía es porticada, muy castellana. Servía de escenario para los eventos taurinos, fiestas y ajusticiamientos públicos. A partir del s. XIX fue cuando se convirtió en un paseo romántico.
En su lado sur encontramos la mencionada torre de Los Aliatares y La Alhondiga, e inmediatamente tras ella El Pósito. En su cara norte se hallan las Casas Consistoriales Bajas o Balcón del Concejo (s. XVII), lugar desde donde los munícipes presenciaban las corridas de toros celebradas en la plaza. Finalmente, y de este a oeste, también encontramos en las inmediaciones de su lado septentrional:
La Iglesia de la Purísima Concepción: capilla del antiguo hospital homónimo edificada a principios del s. XVII (el hospital desapareció en el s. XX).
Convento de San Francisco y Ruinas de la Capilla de los Benavides: sustituyendo un templo gótico construido en el que era tercer solar ocupado en Baeza por la comunidad franciscana, Diego de Valencia Benavides encargó en 1538 a Andrés de Vandelvira la construcción de la cabecera de un nuevo templo conventual, que habría de albergar su capilla funeraria y que acabó siendo la obra maestra de aquel artista y un hito de la arquitectura renacentista española. Lamentablemente el terremoto de Lisboa quebrantó la bóveda cruzada y la invasión napoleónica acabó de arruinar el templo.
Ayuntamiento de Baeza: magnífico edificio plateresco construido originalmente como Palacio de Justicia y Cárcel del Corregidor.

From May 8-12 I traveled to and extensively scouted from Monument Valley to White Pocket, Arizona (USA).
Of the many places I captured from the blue hour before sunrise to the blue hour after sunset was an area known as White Pocket. From Hwy 98 west of Page from where you make the left turn to take the dirt road to White Pocket takes at least one hour and forty five minutes. From the midway point on, I counted about 8 significant sections of the one lane dirt road with deep sand. Since I had a Suburban with unique tires, it was not a problem but if one tries to go into this area with front wheel drive only I'd say you'd be making a huge mistake.
Of all the places I visited and scouted, White Pocket is the most bizarre but interesting place I have ever been. It is so interesting that I will return and camp out for about 2 full days of photography now that I know what areas are the best for sunrise and and sunset.
White Pocket is not cover in my new ebook "Moab, Utah - A Photographer's Shooting Guide I" but it will be in the second one I will be publishing later.
As a reminder, I now have a group for my late March 2015 multi-night Moab, Utah night sky/milky workshops in case you are interested in attending any one of those. See my Southwestern album for examples of what you may expect to shoot at that time.
