It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site which means you HAVE TO SEE IT!
Part of our excursion in Lisbon was a stop here at the tower. There were probably some interesting facts about it but I really wasn't listening to the tour guide, I was busy watching people.
There was a tour we could have taken but the queue was crazy long and we just didn't have the time.
Had to do some cropping on this, some tourists wound up on the fringes and just mucked the whole thing up. Why don't they stay out of my way when I'm shooting?

Frans Hals (Antwerpen, 1580 - Haarlem, August 26, 1666) Catharina Hooft with her wet nanny (1619-20) - oil on canvas 91.8 x 68.3 cm - Gemäldegalerie, Berlin
Pittore olandese quasi contemporaneo di Rembrandt operò nei Paesi Bassi durante il cosiddetto periodo d'oro della loro pittura. Da molti considerato secondo solo a Rembrandt stesso in fatto di innovazioni stilistiche, formali e compositive, Frans Hals fu uno dei pittori più prolifici del periodo olandese ed è autore di alcuni tra i più noti ritratti del barocco, divenendo un punto chiave nella storia della fisiognomica.
Il ritratto di una bambina, dipinto da Frans Hals intorno al 1620, è una grande rarità nella pittura olandese del XVII secolo, poiché qui il bambino è presentato con la sua balia. Inoltre, l'immagine è l'unico ritratto di un bambino di Frans Hals che conosciamo ancora oggi.
Mostra la figlia unica Catharina Hooft, nata ad Amsterdam nel 1618.Poco dopo, i suoi genitori si trasferirono ad Haarlem, dove suo padre, l'avvocato Pieter Hooft, aveva comprato una casa e dove probabilmente fu realizzato anche il ritratto di Berlino. Suo zio era il famoso poeta, storico e drammaturgo olandese Pieter Corneliszoon Hooft. All'età di soli 17 anni, Catharina sposò nel 1635 il ricchissimo, di 19 anni più anziano di lei, Cornelis de Graeff, uno dei reggenti più influenti e molteplici sindaci di Amsterdam, nonché statista e diplomatico olandese e della Repubblica degli Stati Uniti d'Olanda.
Le balie, i cui compiti consistevano esclusivamente nell'allattamento al seno e nella cura del bambino, avevano solitamente una posizione di primo piano tra i domestici. Solo un piccolo numero di famiglie dell'alta borghesia poteva permettersi il lusso di averne una, che diventava così una sorta di status symbol. In riconoscimento del loro stretto legame con il bambino, le balie godevano di un salario e di un apprezzamento considerevolmente più alti rispetto agli altri domestici.
The portrait of a little girl, painted by Frans Hals around 1620, is a great rarity in 17th century Dutch painting, as here the child is presented with her wet nurse. Moreover, the image is the only portrait of a child by Frans Hals that we know of to this day.
It shows the only daughter Catharina Hooft, who was born in Amsterdam in 1618.Soon after, her parents moved to Haarlem, where her father, the lawyer Pieter Hooft, had bought a house and where the Berlin portrait was probably made as well. His uncle was the famous Dutch poet, historian and playwright Pieter Corneliszoon Hooft. At the age of only 17, Catharina married in 1635 the very wealthy, 19 years her senior, Cornelis de Graeff, one of the most influential regents and multiple mayors of Amsterdam, as well as a Dutch statesman and diplomat and the Republic of the United States of Holland.
Nannies, whose duties consisted solely of breastfeeding and child care, usually held a prominent position among the servants. Only a small number of upper middle class families could afford the luxury of having one, which thus became a sort of status symbol. In recognition of their close bond with the child, nannies enjoyed considerably higher wages and appreciation than other servants.
A vintage mock ad for the HAL 9000 computer. Even though HAL was not meant to be a play on IBM I couldn't resist the one letter shift coincidence.

The Fukuoka Civic Hall (Middle Hall) was designed by a joint venture (JV) of Azusa Sekkei, Shun Architect Office, and Yoshiki Toda Landscape & Architect, with the project recently completed (around late 2024/2025) to create a modern multi-purpose cultural venue for performances and lectures.
Lead Architects/Firms: Azusa Sekkei, Shun Architect Office, Yoshiki Toda Landscape & Architect (JV).
Type: A new Middle Hall within the existing complex, focusing on acoustics for concerts and lectures.
"O halo é um fenômeno ótico que pode se formar tanto ao redor do sol como da lua. Quando a luz do sol (ou o brilho lunar) incide sobre nuvens com cristais de gelo, ocorre a refração. Justamente a refração proporciona que a luz seja dispersada e sejam observadas as cores que integram o feixe de luz assim como em um arco-íris. Os halos ocorrem na presença de nuvens muito altas, em regra cirrus estratos ("véu branco"), na parte mais alta da troposfera."
The We're Here! gang is celebrating "2001: A Space Odyssey" today.
I haven't seen the movie since I saw it in the cinema in 1968...the day after which I took some drugs and had what we geezers would call a "bad trip", largely based on images from the movie. Listen up, kids: stay in school and don't do drugs. LOL
You might recognize the red background as my fancy fruit bowl. ;)
Hals Museum is a part of Nordjyllands Historiske Museum (Historical Museum of Northern Jutland), and is located on the redoubt in Hals. Here, you will find the story of Hals, Limfjorden and the sea.
The museum itself is built on Hals Skanse, an old stronghold from the Renaissance. The fort is a rarity, being the only single-building fort in Denmark from this period of time.
Today, only remains of the old moat and gunpowder chamber from the 1600s, as well as the the clothing house from 1800 can be found. However, through the exhibitions at the museum, the tales of the fort’s history in wartime and peacetime are told, from its conception in 1625 to its dismantling in 1848.
The museum also contains the story of Hals during World War 2, when the fort functioned as the headquarters for the German commander in chief of the region during the Nazi occupation of Denmark in the 1940s.
After the fort was retired in 1848, it was used for a wide variety of things. It was a quarantine station, a municipality office, and, lastly and lately, a museum.

HAL: I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do.
Dave Bowman: Open the pod bay doors, HAL.
HAL: I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.
Dave Bowman: What's the problem?
HAL: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
Dave Bowman: What are you talking about, HAL?
HAL: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
Dave Bowman: I don't know what you're talking about, HAL.
HAL: I know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen
