have a wonderful weekend all my Flickr friends & thank you for all your kind comments & faves. Taken in our garden. Good luck England, hope you get bronze!
The Ceiling at St. George's Cathedral is the backdrop for this collage of our evening from seeing Handel's Messiah.
"Die Bohlenstube war im Mittelalter oft der einzige beheizte Raum in einem Haus in Mitteleuropa. Zur Verbesserung der Wärmedämmung wurden bestehende Räume an Boden, Decke und allen Seiten mit genuteten Holzbohlen ausgekleidet; d. h. in einen bestehenden Raum wurde aus Holz ein weiterer Raum eingebaut, der konstruktiv von dem äußeren getrennt war. Um nicht zu viel Raumvolumen aufheizen zu müssen, wurden die Decken manchmal abgehängt. Abgeschlossene Luftkammern oder Lehmputz dienten als weitere Isolierschicht."

"Die Bohlenstube im Museum Händel-Haus kann als bedeutendes Beispiel eines bürgerlichen Wohn- und Repräsentationsraumes in der 2. Hälfte des 16. Jahrhunderts angesehen werden. Besonders wertvoll sind die sichtbaren Reste einer historischen Farbfassung. Auf 23 Rundbogenfeldern ist ein Bilderzyklus aus der Bibel dargestellt".

This is a legendary snack bar.
Amsterdamsche Vishandel Anno 1938. Open since the early part of last century, Amsterdamsche Vishandel Anno 1938 is a fine example of a friendly old-school Amsterdam fish shop. Everything is vintage about this place, and it is the perfect place to stop in for some Dutch specialties like herring or crispy fried kibbeling.

I keep so busy making amateur anybody-can-participate music and art that I seldom find time to consume great art done by highly trained people. This evening friends arm-twisted me into going to hear Handel's Messiah at Emory University. As soon as I saw the splendid organ, my fingers itched for the sketchbook in my purse. Sometimes you can both appreciate art and make art at the same time.
The chorus and orchestra were wider than what is shown here, but I ran out of both paper and patience. This was Messiah as orchestrated by Mozart for more instruments than were used during Handel's lifetime. (So we learned from the program notes.)
A little ironic that the instrument that dominates my sketch is the one instrument in the hall that wasn't used during the performance.

A boat ride on the Irrawaddy river will take you to Mingun. This is a must see in the Mandalay area. From the beginning this is an amazing adventure. Getting to one's boat crossing the bows of several others and hanging onto hands and bamboo poles offered by boatmen is an exhilarating start. Once on board the ride is peaceful and the views pastoral. From the pier you can either walk to the Paya or take an ox cart marked as taxi. The Paya is a Buddhist temple. As we arrived at Mingun the enormity of the temple becomes apparent, but until you are standing next to it it is hard to comprehend. The Mingun Pagoda is a massive unfinished pagoda built at the end of the 18th century, that was meant to be the largest pagoda in the country. This unfinished behemoth was supposed to be seen from a distance to demonstrate the kings power, but alas it was never finished. Two large earthquakes did considerable damage to the Mingun Pagoda. During the 1838 earthquake the heads of the giant Chinthes broke off and rolled into the Irrawaddy river. This is truly worth a half day, just to get out of the city.
Arrived at the Mingun Pier you can either walk to the Paya or take an ox cart marked as taxi. The friendly old driver showed us around and took us to Mingun Pagoda, The Pondaw Pagodam, The Mingun bell and Hsinbyume Pagoda. We gave him a very good tip.
De Irrawaddy of Ayeyarwady is de belangrijkste rivier van Myanmar. Met een lengte van ruim 2170 kilometer is het ook één van de grootste rivieren van Zuidoost-Azië. De rivier stroomt van noord naar zuid door Myanmar, vanaf het gebergte van de Himalaya naar de Andamanse Zee, waar de rivier een 300 kilometer brede rivierdelta vormt. De rivier wordt ook wel de Road to Mandalay genoemd. Al ongeveer 1200 jaar vormt de rivier de levensader van het land. Vele steden, waaronder een van de voormalig hoofdsteden van Myanmar, Mandalay, zijn aan de rivier gelegen. Veel van deze steden zijn nog steeds voor het grootste deel van hun handel afhankelijk van de rivier. Naast dit belang voor de scheepvaart is de Irrawady ook een belangrijke visgrond voor de bevolking. Ook zijn duizenden hectaren landbouwgrond in de nabijheid van de rivier afhankelijk van het rivierwater voor irrigatie van de gewassen Een relaxte bootreis van ruim een uur brengt je vanuit Mandalay in Mingun. Bij de pier namen we de lokale taxi een ossenkar! De vriendelijke "chauffeur" bracht ons naar alle bezienswaardigheden. Zoals de plaats waar ’s werelds grootste tempel had moeten staan. De plotselinge dood van koning Bodawpaya in 1819 maakte echter een abrupt einde aan de Birmese bouwlust. Een aardbeving in 1838 bracht nog meer onheil. Ondanks alle onheilstijdingen is het schouwspel vanaf de boot op Mingun Paya nog immer bijzonder indrukwekkend te noemen. Dit bouwwerk, door zo’n twintigduizend slaven gemaakt, is na de dood van de toenmalige koning nooit afgemaakt door zijn 122 kinderen. De grootste koperen bel ter wereld kreeg na de aardbeving een nieuw onderdak. De bel is vier meter hoog en heeft een omtrek van vijf meter.

Although these suites were written for the harpsichord, I find there is only so much I'm able to take of the metalic plucking of the strings of the instrument compared to hearing them performed on a modern piano.

This is an impressive performance by someone who divides his time between the jazz and classical repertoire.
"Das Händel-Haus ist ein Musikmuseum der Stadt Halle (Saale) und seit 2008 als kommunale Stiftung des Privatrechts organisiert. Kern des Renaissance-Komplexes, der vor 1558 erbaut wurde, ist das Geburtshaus Georg Friedrich Händels, das über 100 Jahre im Eigentum der Familie Händel war. Die Grundmauern reichen jedoch bis ins Mittelalter zurück".

This is a recording of remarkable insight and sensitivity combined with amazing technical prowess. Ms Smirnova is able to produce colours and nuances which Händel, who only knew these as played on a harpsichord, would enjoy.
Leuchtturm der Helios-Werke
A lighthouse where there´s no ocean - in the centre of Cologne. It was built in 1894 only as an advertisement for a manufacturer of light bulbs.
