A funerary monument in the form of a Corinthian temple is a very impressive construction dating from the Roman period. It is located inside the courtyard of the “Old Fish Market” which was restored to be used as an open-air museum in 1995 CE.
Iassos
The ancient Greek city of Iassos is an extensive multi-period site located on the shores of the Iassos gulf (Gulf of Güllük) halfway between Didyma to the north and Halicarnassus to the south. Once situated on an island, the city is now joined to the mainland, creating a peninsula. According to tradition, Iasos was colonized, possibly in the 9th or 8th century BCE, by Greeks from Argos (the Dorians) but archaeological evidence shows that the site of Iassos had been inhabited since the Neolithic period and that it flourished as one of the great Minoan and Mycenaean settlements in Asia Minor. Prosperity continued throughout the Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods and many of the remains date from the later periods.

'Rehearsal After Reflect Soft Matte Discourse' by Malin Arnell, Clara López & Imri Sandström at Arika 12: Episode 2: A Special Form Of Darkness @ Tramway, Glasgow on Saturday 25th February 2012
Our principal violinists, cellist and harpsichordist were at Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College, Darlington, on Wednesday 20th September 2017 for a workshop on performance and interpretation. We greatly enjoyed working with the orchestra and soloists on three concertos – Bach’s Violin Concerto in A minor BWV 1041, Vivaldi’s Flute Concerto in D major ‘The Goldfinch’ RV428 and John Garth’s Cello Concerto No 2 in B flat major. It was an intensive workshop focusing on period interpretation, style and performance practices, and at the end of the workshop the orchestra presented a concert to an invited audience of students from other schools in the area. We were delighted to be involved in this workshop to engage and explore this wonderful music with enthusiastic young players.
We’re grateful to Dr Simon Fleming (Curriculum Leader for Music) and the staff at QESFC for inviting us to lead this workshop. QESFC has a thriving culture of music education and participation, and we’re delighted to have been involved in supporting their music learning.
The Avison Ensemble is the outstanding period instrument orchestra based in Newcastle upon Tyne, which plays and popularises the music of Charles Avison (1709-1770) and other English classical composers of the Baroque period, such as Garth, Arne and Herschel. The Ensemble also performs Purcell, Handel, Vivaldi, Corelli, Geminiani, Pergolesi, Teleman, Rameau, Bach, Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven.

También llamada "Fuente de las Lágrimas" porque se decía que su manantial derramaba agua lentamente en forma de lágrimas.
Ha permanecido hasta nuestros días en el mismo paraje donde Abd-Allah encomendó a su visir Abu Mu Ammal que edificase una acequia para que abasteciera a toda la población de Alfacar al pie del Cerro de la Cruz, a 1.126 metros de altura y a la ciudad de Granada, con un total de treinta y ocho mil habitantes.
Durante el periodo de la Andalucía Islámica, desarrollaron diversas técnicas para transportar las aguas de los diferentes manantiales cercanos a la capital hasta los huertos, fuentes y jardines que había en la alcazaba y parte baja de la ciudad.
Las acequias (del árabe as-saqiya) fue una de las técnicas que crearon los andalusíes para transportar el agua de los manantiales hasta otros puntos a lo largo del terreno.
Las acequias son canales de riego que aprovechan el desnivel del terreno para conducir el agua de un punto elevado hasta otro de menor altitud.
Desde esos cármenes, la acequia entraba subterráneamente en la ciudad, llegando al repartidor principal de Manflor, donde nacía un ramal principal y dos secundarios que cubrían todo el actual Albaicín.
Tras la conquista castellana de Granada, la acequia siguió en uso, los Reyes Católicos tras la expulsión de los moriscos promulgaron, el 2 de octubre de 1501 una Real Cédula por la que se creaba, el Juzgado de Aguas, y el 15 de octubre del mismo año, las Ordenanzas de Granada, para regular el suministro y distribución de aguas por parroquias, días y horas, apareciendo en el archivo municipal, referencia a la acequia de Aynadamar y a su Fuente Grande.
Actualmente, la Acequia de Aynadamar sigue conduciendo el agua de Fuente Grande pero,Acequia de Aynadamar en la actualidad sólo hasta El Fargue, ya que de ahí en adelante se ha perdido. Hoy en día se puede ver en el tramo que va desde Alfacar a Viznar (en el margen derecho de la carretera dirección Alfacar-Viznar), la forma original de la acequia gracias a que en 1994 se llevó a cabo una reforma de limpieza y reconstrucción.
Recorrido de la acequia
En la localiad de Alfacar pasa al pie del monte Torices, circula por el Barranco del Collado y el Molino de las Pasaderas. En la localidad de Viznar pasa por el Cerro Castaños, por el Molino Florencia, Carmen de los Arroyos y Molino de San Cayetano. Después continua a través de El camino del Fargue, la carretera de Murcia - Granada, el Almanjayar y sigue por la actual Facultad de Teología.
En la puerta de Elvia pasaba por unos hermosos carmenes donde los musulmanes veraneaban y hacían batallas navales ficticias en unas enormes albercas; después, a 886 metros por el subsuelo se desviaba atravesando el Carmen de Tllacarne para dividirse en el el Manflor. Una de las ramificaciones llegaba hasta el arrabal del Albaycín, el Castillo de Garnata y la Alcazaba antigua.
Después pasaba por la fabrica de cerámica de Fajalauza, el Carmen de San Pascual, el cajellón de la Alberzana, Aljibe de paso, la Casa de los Mascarones, y un ramal secundario pasaba por los Aljibes de San Bartolomé y San Cristóbal. El principal continuaba bajando por la calle del Agua, y desde otro ramal secundario pasaba por la calle Los Panaderos para morir, un nuevo ramal, en el Aljibe de la Ahacaba.
En la calle panaderos existía un desvio por los Aljibes de Bibalnout y Las Tomasas, de la cuesta de las Tomasas y de Trillo al segundo desvio en la Cuesta del Chapiz.
En Plaza Larga la acequia tenia sifones saltadores que llevaban el agua hacia el Aljibe de San Nicolás y la Alcazaba. Mientras la acequia pasaba por el Arco de las Pesas, por otro ramal pasaba por el Aljibe de La Gitana, el Aljibe del Gato, la Cuesta de Granadillos, la Calle Aljibe de Trillo y moría en la Placeta del Lames.
Del Aljibe del Rey surgían dos ramales: el primero pasaba por el Aljibe de San Miguel Bajo y Oidores. El segundo pasaba por el Aljibe del Zenete, el Aljibe de San José y terminaba en la Placeta de Pomar. Y el otro pasaba por las calles Tiña, Muladar de Doña Sancha y Placeta de Sánchez para morir en la calle Bravo.
De los Ramales de Manflor secundarios uno llegaba a Fajalauza, Placeta de la Cruz de Piedra, Calle de San Luis y Santa Isabel de los Abades para terminar en la Plaza de Aliatar y en la Vereda de los Pinchos. El otro ramal secundario iba por el camino de San Antonio y Mayor (hoy bajo la Capilla Real de la Catedral) que se supone era alimentado desde la iglesia del Salvador y en el barrio judío el Aljibe de Rodrigo del Campo en la Cuesta del mismo nombre, además habia muchos más que no han llegado a nuestros días.

Many of the tropical butterflies have distinctive seasonal forms. This phenomenon is termed seasonal polyphenism and the seasonal forms of the butterflies are called the dry-season and wet-season forms. How the season affects the genetic expression of patterns is still a subject of research. The dry-season forms are usually more cryptic and it has been suggested that the protection offered may be an adaptation. Some also show greater dark colours in the wet-season form which may have thermoregulatory advantages by increasing ability to absorb solar radiation.
The wet-season form has large, very apparent multiple eyespots whereas the dry-season forms have very reduced, oftentimes nonexistent, eyespots. Larvae that develop in hot, wet conditions develop into wet-season adults whereas those growing in the transition from the wet to the dry season, when the temperature is declining, develop into dry-season adults. This polyphenism probably has an adaptive role. In the dry-season it is disadvantageous to have conspicuous eyespots because they blend in with the brown vegetation better without eyespots. By not developing eyespots in the dry-season they can more easily camouflage themselves in the brown brush. This minimizes the risk of visually mediated predation. In the wet-season, these brown butterflies cannot as easily rely on cryptic coloration for protection because the background vegetation is green. Thus, eyespots, which may function to decrease predation, are beneficial for Satyrine butterflies like the Bushbrown to express.

Here are the final forms. Please don't faint over all the 3-to-em spacing that I had to resort to. I know that as a general rule, one should use as few pieces of metal as possible. But I ran out of all my bigger 18-point spacing and wiped out all of my 36-point en-quads. I just happened to have 7 pounds of 3-to-em spacing, which I thought I'd never have a use for. I suppose I could have cut slugs, but I think spacing locks up better since it has more "play."
De entrada hay consumidores que cuando se encuentran ante estas peras con forma de Buda piensan que son un milagro religioso o como mucho fruto del azar en la Naturaleza. Y nada más lejos de ello, simplemente es fruto del esfuerzo, paciencia e ingenio de Hao Xianzhang.
El cómo lo consiguió es mediante el desarrollo de moldes de plástico transparente, que colocados alrededor de la pera cuando esta apenas empieza a crecer., esta es obligada a hacerlo dentro del molde e ir adoptando la curiosa forma de Buda.
Hablar de moldes de plástico tal cual es un atrevimiento de simpleza en el que no queremos caer, ya que si bien es este material el empleado, estamos seguros que en su fabricación incluyen sustancias aditivas que le proporcionan las cualidades adecuadas para conseguir los resultados esperados. Debe de ser transparente para que pasen los rayos del sol hasta la fruta, no tanto para evitar quemaduras directas del sol, también con cierta flexibilidad para evitar el estrangulamiento del fruto a la vez que lo moldea, y transpirable ya que como fruto vivo mantiene un intercambio gaseoso con su exterior inmediato.

With oven set to 375 deg. F., slide in the plastic. Now with the oven light on, watch the plastic VERY carefully. In about 30 seconds, it'll start to droop.
Now work quickly! Throw open the oven, carefully yank out the frame with your gloved, unburnt hand, and kick on the vacuum cleaner with your foot!
The fins of the modernist, circa 1973, Chase Tower seemingly straddle the neo-classic, circa 1926, Alliance Building from this vantage point. Straddle? Maybe more of an embrace as their architectural brethren face the wrecking ball.
Walking through downtown Rochester on a Saturday morning reminded me of some kind of dystopian ghost town. On the other side of Chase Tower, Midtown Plaza, a once thriving architectural gem of Mid-century Modern design, is hollowed out and awaiting demolition. A promised 40 story tower which was supposed to be built on the site was scaled back to 8-10 stories, and is now down to 3 or 4 stories...
if it is ever built.
One vacant building after another, locked and dilapidated parks, litter everywhere, landmarks and museums for sale and being sold to private entities... This seems like an entirely different city than the one I left 17 years ago, especially knowing that Rochester was once the country's first "Boom Town."
"Abandonment" is a word that immediately comes to mind. Kodak has abandoned nearly 70,000 local employees through layoffs and outsourcing. Xerox has abandoned it's corporate headquarters for Norwalk, Connecticut, and Rochester's mayor has abandoned the city for the chance of being Lieutenant Governor of New York.
"Irony" is also a word that comes to mind. Rochester was one of the last stops on the Underground Railroad as well as the home of Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony, yet the city is marred by racism and a fear of downtown by many people.
In a city where building implosions have turned into a spectator sport, "Irony" is also seeing crowds of people gather to watch Kodak level blocks of buildings while taking pictures with their Japanese cameras and cheering.
I will never understand the cheering part....
Me vió llegar y a pesar que estaba leyendo una revista de Reader´s Digest , de una forma "camaleónica" no me quitaba el ojo de encima....
Como podéis observar, estaba sentada en una zona de sol y sombra del parque de Arles (Francia) y lo que más me llamó la atención fue que habiendo podido ocupar el banco para ella sola, se había sentado justo en una esquina, permitiéndo de esa forma que lo puedieran compartir otras personas...por otro lado, me gustó ese estilo "tweed " de ropa tan popularizado por el genial "Shelock Holmes", los profesores universitarios y los "ancianos" ingleses...
Me costó un poco más entablar conversarción que con el Sr. Ricard, pero al rato esta encantadora anciana (la Sra. Dubois) departía conmigo amigablemente sobre el contenido de la revista que tenía en las manos.

THE GOAL OF MODERN ARCHITECTURE? TO BROADEN HORIZONS. Expand space. This was the categorical imperative underpinning the creation of Azimut 75. The end result? Unprecedented liveability, commonly the exclusive province of larger yachts.
The flybridge, for example, runs from midship to stern, covering the entire cockpit. The furnishings follow the flowing forms of the sofas, creating various areas in which to relax. The electrically operated bimini top is incorporated in a dynamic fibreglass structure, allowing you to play with the light to its best advantage and create more or less shade, whatever the use. Functionality, of course, is unparalleled, with the large table, bar and grill making a special contribution.
SUNBATHING? IT'S EVEN MORE COMFORTABLE TODAY WITH HEADRESTS AND AN ADJUSTABLE BIMINI TOP TO PROVIDE SHADE IN THE BOW AREA TOO. The flybridge helm station combines comfort with unparalleled functionality, featuring adjustable height seats and an intercom system to communicate with the bow area, cockpit and engine room for easier manoeuvring.
Created to adapt to any occasion throughout the day, the flybridge offers copious seating for afternoons spent in the sun, plus two convenient cocktail tables which join in the evening to become a spacious table seating ten. An aerial view of the flybridge with its two sun lounging areas: one next to the helm station and the other midships.
MULTI-PURPOSE SPACES FOR ECLECTIC SPIRITS.
THE OUTDOOR DINING AREA CONVERTS INTO A SPACIOUS LOUNGING PAD. Furniture which transforms to vary your cruise setting constantly. This is the approach adopted by the designers of Azimut 75 for the cockpit. From a sea terrace dining area, complete with table and comfortable sofas, it becomes a spacious sun pad designed to mirror the broad expanse of the horizon. Transformation and design for eclectic spirits who like to personalise their living spaces in constantly changing ways as the day passes.
OPEN SEA OR DRY LAND? ON AZIMUT 75 OPPOSITES UNITE.
It's called Azimut 75. But when you go aboard you'll find that “floating home” comes more naturally. Why? Just make yourselves comfortable in the living area. The finely understated interior design creates an extremely sophisticated environment that draws on the contemporary loft space for its inspiration. A close eye for detail and skilfully contrasting materials convey an especially modern aesthetic: cream coloured natural fabric and black leather for the sofas, wood and crystal for the dinette table and rectangular geometrical inlays for the other furniture. Which is why, when you look through the large windows, you'll be even more surprised to see the sea slip past outside.
The helm station occupies almost the entire width of the yacht, featuring a control panel incorporating touch screen technology. Skilful optimisation of the design also frees up space for a sofa and a large work table. The helm station is separated from the living area by rice paper panels to allow the light to filter freely through.
Your travelling companions on Azimut 75 won't only be your guests, but the sea and light you can always see through the large windows.
The wood and steel galley setting can be fitted with a fridge, a freezer, a dishwasher and a waste disposer. It shares a dual purpose unit with the dining area, providing a graceful and fully appointed bar on the living area side, plus a special cabinet to store various accessories on the kitchen side. Fitted sliding panels can be closed to separate the two areas or opened to exploit the full space.
Comfort and sophisticated design, but first and foremost light. Yes, the distinctive features of the owner's suite are the large windows the sunlight can flood through. They allow more light to pass than the portholes they replace, embellishing each and every corner of the suite. Thanks to these large windows you can enjoy a sea view from the lower deck too. Reclining com- fortably on the bed, for example, or sipping a cup of coffee sitting comfortably in the elegant living area on the starboard side, complete with armchairs and a table.
THE SUN. THE MAIN INTERIOR DESIGNER BEHIND
THE VIP SUITE. The comfort continues in the master bathroom, which is fitted with king size hydromassage shower. A close eye for detail combined with sophisticated materials: fine marble for the basin counter top, prestigious doussié wood for the shower grate and flooring. Masterful design optimisation also frees up space for dressing room in the owner's suite.
Twice the comfort in the twin bed cabin too, with the help of multiple under-bed drawers and a spacious wardrobe. All cabins have their own smart and fully appointed personal bathroom, featuring marble finishings and an impressive range of intelligent storage solutions.

I have always been fascinated with the pedestrian bridge at the Greenway exit on Highway 51 in Phoenix, Arizona. A true vision of art and function. Notice how the bridge mimics the mountain range behind it and ask yourself...why does that brand new Chrysler Pacifica have a European license plate as well as Arizona?
"The National Railway Museum is a museum in York forming part of the Science Museum Group. The museum tells the story of rail transport in Britain and its impact on society. It is the home of the national collection of historically significant railway vehicles such as Mallard, Stirling Single, Duchess of Hamilton and a Japanese bullet train. In addition, the National Railway Museum holds a diverse collection of other objects from a household recipe book used in George Stephenson’s house to film showing a "never stop railway" developed for the British Empire Exhibition. It has won many awards, including the European Museum of the Year Award in 2001.
As of 2019 the museum is about to embark on a once-in-a-generation site development. As part of the York Central redevelopment which will divert Leeman Road, the National Railway Museum will be building a new entrance building to connect the two separate parts of the museum together. At the same time, the space around the museum will be landscaped to provide public spaces.
In 2020 architectural practice Feilden Fowles won an international competition to create the museum’s new £16.5 million Central Hall building—a key element of the museum’s Vision 2025 masterplan.
York is a cathedral city and unitary authority area in North Yorkshire, England. The population of the council area which includes nearby villages was 208,200 as of 2017[citation needed] and the population of the urban area was 153,717 at the 2011 census. Located at the confluence of the Rivers Ouse and Foss, it is the county town of the historic county of Yorkshire. The city is known for its famous historical landmarks such as York Minster and the city walls, as well as a variety of cultural and sporting activities, which makes it a popular tourist destination in England. The local authority is the City of York Council, a single tier governing body responsible for providing all local services and facilities throughout the city. The City of York local government district includes rural areas beyond the old city boundaries. It is about 25 miles north-east of Leeds and 34 miles north-west of Kingston upon Hull. York is the largest settlement in the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire.
The city was founded by the Romans as Eboracum in 71 AD. It became the capital of the Roman province of Britannia Inferior, and later of the kingdoms of Deira, Northumbria and Jórvík. In the Middle Ages, York grew as a major wool trading centre and became the capital of the northern ecclesiastical province of the Church of England, a role it has retained. In the 19th century, York became a major hub of the railway network and a confectionery manufacturing centre, a status it maintained well into the 20th century. During the Second World War, York was bombed as part of the Baedeker Blitz. Although less affected by bombing than other northern cities, several historic buildings were gutted and restoration efforts continued into the 1960s.
The economy of York is dominated by services. The University of York and National Health Service are major employers, whilst tourism has become an important element of the local economy. In 2016, York became sister cities with the Chinese city of Nanjing, as per an agreement signed by the Lord Mayor of York, focusing on building links in tourism, education, science, technology and culture. Today, the city is a popular tourist attraction, especially for international visitors from America, Germany, France and China. In 2017, York became UK's first human rights city, which formalised the city's aim to use human rights in decision making." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.
