Conjunto patrimonial do centro histórico de Barcelos, onde se destacam a Igreja Matriz de Santa Maria Maior, edificação gótica reconstruída sobre uma estrutura românica prévia, com planta longitudinal de três naves. À direita, encontra-se o emblemático Pelourinho, construído entre finais do século XV e princípios do século XVI, reconhecido pelo seu refinamento artístico e elementos decorativos manuelinos, como o anel torso do capitel e os cogulhos dos colunelos da gaiola. O monumento, classificado como Imóvel de Interesse Público, permanece como ponto central de encontro no espaço ajardinado em frente à igreja. Ao fundo, veem-se as ruínas do Paço dos Condes de Barcelos, edifício do século XV destruído pelo terramoto de 1755, que atualmente integra o Museu Arqueológico de Barcelos. Este núcleo histórico testemunha a importância política e religiosa da cidade ao longo dos séculos.
MONTALEGRE (Portugal): castelo.
O castelo de Montalegre localiza-se num outeiro dominando a vila, que se estende para Sul e Este. Encontra-se classificado como Monumento Nacional pelo decreto de 16.06.1910 e dispõe de uma Zona Especial de Proteção.
(...)
Ao longo do século XX este castelo foi alvo de diversas ações de recuperação e valorização por parte da ex-DGEMN, ex-IPPC e Câmara Municipal de Montalegre (1988/1990) e mais recentemente, pelo ex-IPPAR (1998). No seguimento da intervenção de 1990 foi instalado um núcleo museológico.
É uma estrutura militar medieval de construção relativamente tardia. Insere-se no movimento de "reorganização dos espaços fronteiriços a Este e a Oeste de Chaves", empreendido por D. Afonso III (GOMES, 1993, p.183), uma iniciativa que visou dotar a fronteira transmontana setentrional de uma efetiva ordem territorial e jurídica dependente da autoridade régia, mas cujos resultados ficaram aquém do esperado.
Efetivamente, ainda antes de terminar o século XIII, D. Dinis viu-se obrigado a doar nova carta de foral a Montalegre (1289) e a entregar a tarefa de povoamento a Pedro Anes, esclarecendo ainda que, por esses anos, a póvoa se encontrava erma (IDEM, p.188, nota 25).
O castelo propriamente dito reflete, em parte, essas dificuldades de povoamento e os relativamente escassos recursos económicos colocados à disposição da empreitada.
O projeto inicial deveria incluir as três torres remanescentes integradas no perímetro muralhado oval: a Torre Furada é a única de planta quadrangular e encontra-se encimada por ameias, fazendo-se o acesso ao interior através de duas portas, uma ao nível do pátio, e outra à altura do caminho de ronda, sendo esta última de maior impacto visual, com arco de volta perfeita e tímpano decorado com a cruz da Ordem de Cristo. As outras duas torres, a Pequena e a do Relógio, são de planta retangular e de menor altura que a anterior. Apesar da exiguidade do recinto, com um pequeno pátio muralhado dotado de cisterna, o castelo conserva as principais características da fortaleza gótica, com a sua planta ovalada, os panos de muralha entrecortados por torres quadrangulares e retangulares e uma torre de menagem associada à cerca e não isolada no centro do pátio. O castelo incluía, ainda, duas portas, de que resta apenas a do lado nascente. A entrada principal localizava-se do lado Norte, protegida pela poderosa torre de menagem. Esta é a principal peça do conjunto e, sintomaticamente, a sua construção não corresponde ao primeiro período de obras. Ela data do reinado de D. Afonso IV e estaria concluída por 1331. De maior altura e secção que as restantes torres, assume-se como a principal marca de poder do castelo e da vila, aliando o impacto cenográfico da sua silhueta ao aspeto robusto e inexpugnável da sua técnica construtiva. Com efeito, é a imponência militar da estrutura que se salienta numa abordagem imediata ao conjunto. Dotada de embasamento escalonado e saliente, possui quatro pisos escassamente denunciados pelo exterior por frestas e balcões de matacães. A sua organização revela uma complexa preocupação funcional, com espaços abobadados, sistemas de escoamento de águas e, no último piso, as espessas paredes são rasgadas por estreitos corredores que dão acesso aos balcões (DGEMN, on-line, 2004). Em todo o seu perímetro, é encimada por ameias pentagonais, solução que se repete nos próprios balcões e que acentua a procurada imagem de inexpugnabilidade. (...)

Über viele Jahrhunderte bis ins 16. Jh. diente die Abteikirche Altenberg als Grablege der Grafen von Berg.
Im Winter ist die Kirche berüchtigt wegen ihrer Kälte. Bei den derzeitigen Temperaturen möchte ich mich dort ständig aufhalten.
Autumn's Whisper
The leaves drift down, a golden dance,
In autumn’s cool and quiet trance.
Their colors flame, then softly fall,
A gentle blanket, nature’s shawl.
The air is crisp, a fragrant sigh,
Beneath the pale October sky.
It carries whispers, fresh and sweet,
With hints of apples at my feet.
Ripe and red, they beg to bite,
In orchards bathed in amber light.
Each crunch, a song, each scent, a prayer,
To autumn’s magic in the air.
And oh, the pumpkins, round and bright,
Their orange glow, a cozy sight.
In every pie and every brew,
They bring the warmth that autumn grew.
So here I stand, in fall’s embrace,
With every sound and every taste.
A season’s kiss, both wild and clear,
I breathe it in—my favorite time of year.

Quick sketches always fascinate me. Starting from nothing on a clean sheet of sketch paper, I can literally see the gradual formation of the vivid portrait with every stroke of the pencil by this street artist, all in a few minutes' time. He strikes me as a really cool artist and the lovely girl sits still and very patiently, smiling and confident of the artist's skills.
The Big Question: What should I focus on with my camera: the artist, the girl or the portrait? Now you know what I decided on focusing:-)

Located In Downtown Knoxville, Tennessee, the Medical Arts Building (1929-30) displays one of the most ornate terra cotta façades remaining in this city from this period. The ten-story Gothic style office building towers over the lower commercial & governmental buildings which surround it. Five locally prominent physicians, including the president of the Knoxville Academy of Medicine, Dr. Parley Herbert Acuff, engaged the architectural firm of Manley and Young of Lexington, Kentucky and Knoxville to design the Medical Arts Building and matching garage in 1929. The structure was completed in 1930 at a cost of $750,000 and was touted to be the most outstanding and completely equipped medical building in the South at that time. The five physicians subsequently went bankrupt and the structure was taken over by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Mr. A.F. Pilzer of Montgomery, Alabama purchased the building in the late 1930's. In 1977, the structure was sold to David Brown of the real estate firm of Brown, Brown and West for $750,000. Kristopher Kendrick purchased the building in 1981 and sold it to the present owners in 1983 who planned to rehabilitate the structure for continuing use as office space. The first floor commercial space of the building was occupied at various times by a bank, a restaurant, and a drug store. The principal tenants of the office space were doctors, dentists, and other medically related businesses.
The Medical Arts Building is one of only two remaining terra cotta façaded buildings of the late 1920's period remaining in Knoxville, and is the larger & more elaborate of the two. For its architecture, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 24, 1984. All the information above was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration and can be viewed here: npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/AssetDetail/64577b6a-fce4-4def-82f...

O Palácio de Hernando de Ovando, também conhecido como Casa dos Ovando, é um notável edifício renascentista situado no recinto monumental da cidade de Cáceres, em Espanha. Construído em 1519, o palácio sofreu uma remodelação no século XVIII, mantendo, no entanto, o seu carácter histórico.
Na fachada do palácio, destaca-se o brasão da família Ovando, um elemento arquitetónico que realça a importância histórica e social desta edificação. O Palácio de Hernando de Ovando é um excelente exemplo da arquitetura renascentista espanhola e constitui um importante ponto de interesse para os visitantes de Cáceres.
Completed in 1258, Salisbury Cathedral replaced the earlier eleventh century building at Old Sarum. Salisbury built in the early English Gothic style has the highest church spire in the country at 123 metres.
Beneath cathedral bells and winter light,
she stands where snow learns how to glow.
Midnight lips, frost-kissed skin,
secrets written where only silence knows.
Lanterns bow, the stars lean close,
inked truths breathe in the cold,
a holy hush, a darkened grace,
where Christmas keeps her bold.

La Sainte-Chapelle is the only surviving building of the Capetian royal palace on the Île de la Cité in the heart of Paris, France. It was commissioned by King Louis IX of France to house his collection of Passion Relics, including the Crown of Thorns - one of the most important relics in medieval Christendom. Begun some time after 1239 and consecrated on the 26th of April 1248, the Sainte-Chapelle is considered among the highest achievements of the Rayonnant period of Gothic architecture.
Another viewpoint for Victoria; this shows the entire steeple with belfry and a bit of the addition off to the right. It also pulls together the various building details; shown all together it's a magnificent building. The dark, overcast sky looms overhead in an oppressive manner and gives it a gritty cast.
O Mosteiro de Pedroso é um importante monumento histórico localizado na freguesia de Pedroso e Seixezelo, no município de Vila Nova de Gaia, em Portugal. Este antigo mosteiro beneditino, cuja fundação remonta possivelmente ao século XI, foi classificado como Monumento de Interesse Público em 2014.
Ao longo dos séculos, o mosteiro desempenhou um papel significativo na história religiosa e cultural da região. Entre os seus ilustres residentes, destaca-se frei Pedro Julião, que se tornaria o Papa João XXI.
Na atualidade, apesar das diversas alterações sofridas ao longo do tempo, o Mosteiro de Pedroso mantém alguns elementos da sua estrutura original. A fachada lateral com um escudo e a pia batismal no interior são vestígios do edifício primitivo que sobreviveram até aos nossos dias. O torreão medieval, adossado à fachada, também permanece intacto.
Embora tenha perdido grande parte da sua traça original românica, o Mosteiro de Pedroso continua a ser um edifício de grande interesse histórico e arquitetónico, refletindo diferentes períodos da sua longa existência.
The Kefermarkt altarpiece (German: Kefermarkter Flügelaltar) is a richly decorated wooden altarpiece in the Late Gothic style in the parish church of Kefermarkt in Upper Austria. Commissioned by the knight Christoph von Zelking, it was completed around 1497. Saints Peter, Wolfgang and Christopher are depicted in the central section.
Saint Christopher, lastly, is depicted as a young man carrying Christ on his shoulders. The statue measures 190 centimetres (75 in).[19] He is bare-headed and barefoot. He supports himself with a rough branch as he carries Christ across a river, and the wind ruffles his clothing.[19]
The identity of its maker, known by the Notname Master of the Kefermarkt Altarpiece, is unknown, but at least two skilled sculptors appear to have created the main statuary. Throughout the centuries, it has been altered and lost its original paint and gilding; a major restoration was undertaken in the 19th century under the direction of Adalbert Stifter. The altarpiece has been described as "one of the greatest achievements in late-medieval sculpture in the German-speaking area".
PAÇOS DE FERREIRA (Portugal): Mosteiro de São Pedro de Ferreira.
A Igreja do Mosteiro de São Pedro de Ferreira é um dos mais expressivos monumentos do românico português.
Em finais do século XII, os cónegos da Sé do Porto detinham direitos sobre uma parcela do Mosteiro, pertencendo as restantes parcelas a algumas das famílias nobres deste território, como os Sousas [ou Sousões] e os Maias. O portal principal está inserido em corpo pentagonal.
As suas arquivoltas perfuradas [favos circulares] têm sido comparadas ora com as da Porta do Bispo da Catedral de Zamora, ora com a Igreja de São Martinho de Salamanca, como também com soluções decorativas da arte árabe de Sevilha, da segunda metade do século XII.
A Igreja de Ferreira reúne alçados [fachadas] e motivos escultóricos provenientes de diversas origens geográficas e oficinas de canteiro [pedreiro]: Zamora-Compostela, Coimbra-Porto e Braga-Unhão, salientando-se a representação de jograis [artistas], num dos capitéis da capela-mor.

Lament of the Scorned Succubus
In shadows deep, where nightmares creep,
A succubus danced in dreams,
Her kiss once sweet, now bitter deceit,
As love unraveled at the seams.
Her wings once soft, now twisted dark,
Claws ready to strike with spite,
For trust betrayed ignites her rage,
A heart once pure turned to night.
She haunts the dreams, a ghost of pain,
Her gaze now sharp, her smile a snare,
In vengeance’ grip, she stalks her prey,
The succubus scorned, with no love to spare.
Beware her name, the burning flame,
For in her sorrow, shadows thrive,
With hunger fierce, she’ll take your life,
A predator where nightmares arrive.
