History: The religious history of this site goes back a long way: a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary is known to have existed in the XIc, being a destination for pilgrims, including those on the way to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
The present building was begun in 1897, when the neo-Byzantine style was fashionable. As elsewhere, it took a long time to complete, being finally inaugurated after the Second World War.
Histoire: Penn" est un mot celte qui signifie crête ou éperon, ce qui laisse à penser que le plateau fut occupé par les Gaulois. De plus, de nombreuses fouilles réalisées dans le village et aux alentours ont mis au jour les vestiges d'une occupation romaine.
Richard Cœur de Lion fait fortifier le château de Penne, qui deviendra ainsi une puissante place de guerre, la "clé du duché de Guyenne" selon certains textes du Moyen Âge.
Le Midi de la France connaît au début du XIIIe siècle un fort développement du mouvement religieux cathare. L'opposition des catholiques entraîne la région tout entière dans une guerre religieuse au terme de laquelle le catholicisme sortira vainqueur et les Cathares, totalement anéantis, tomberont dans les oubliettes de l'Histoire. Durant la guerre albigeoise, le comte de Toulouse avait confié à Hugue d'Alfaro la lourde tâche de repousser les Croisés hors de la place forte de Penne. Mais, au début du mois d'août 1212, après cinquante jours de siège, Penne capitula.
Au lendemain de la guerre albigeoise, Penne connut un fort repeuplement. Son importance lui permit alors de réclamer l'établissement d'une administration municipale et d'une charte des coutumes. Il semble que cette dernière fut établie en premier lieu dès 1243 avant d'être remaniée et étoffée en 1270. À la fin de la guerre de Cent Ans, le roi Charles VIII accorda aux habitants le renouvellement de leur charte disparue dans l'incendie qui avait ravagé la ville en 1373.
En 1154, l'accession au trône d'Henri Plantagenet, second époux d'Aliénor d'Aquitaine, fit passer toute la province sous domination anglaise. Pendant toute la guerre de Cent Ans, Penne sera tantôt française, tantôt anglaise. En 1373, les Anglais incendièrent la ville avant de l'abandonner à Duguesclin qui l'assiégeait depuis trois mois.
Érigée en place protestante au milieu du XVIe siècle, Penne fut le théâtre d'affrontements entre Catholiques et Protestants. Le plus sanglant eut lieu en 1562. Après 99 jours de siège, le chef de l'armée catholique s'empara de la place occupée par les Protestants. Les défenseurs furent égorgés et jetés dans les puits du château.
C'est au XVIe et XVIIe siècle que la peste sévit dans la région de Penne. En 1653, afin d'obtenir l'enraillement de l'épidémie, les habitants de Penne s'engagèrent à reconstruire l'église de Notre-Dame de Peyragude et à s'y rendre en procession le 15 août de chaque année.
À Penne, la Révolution permet une évolution économique et sociale tout à la faveur du peuple et de la bourgeoisie. À l'aube du XIXe siècle, la commune de Penne compte environ 4 000 âmes...

1. Taking pictures a tool (camera), not a photographer.
2. The choice of tool limits the possibilities.
3. Experience allows him (instrument) less and less to limit their capabilities.
4. The ability to see is given only when the observer allows ...
5. The moment of observation is the real find ...
6. Training and mastering it defies. Training leads to poor imitations of the original.
7. Often the result should ripen, like wine. Although time is the understanding of the mind, therefore it is very speculative.
8. The meaning of all this is the process!
9. Let it be!

3 days of intense work to make this huge panorama of Cologne, Germany's fourth-largest city. This is a 360 degrees view, I tried to get as many details as possible, sometimes repainting different parts of the cityscape. The original composition is really big (almost 20.000 pixels wide!) because I assembled more than 30 photos. I took all of them when I was in Germany 2 weeks ago... (FYI, I didn't use any autopano or fisheye).
More facts: The city's famous Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) is the seat of the Catholic Archbishop of Cologne. The University of Cologne (Universität zu Köln) is one of Europe's oldest universities.
Cologne is a major cultural center of the Rhineland and has a vibrant arts scene. Cologne is home to more than 30 museums and hundreds of galleries. Exhibitions range from local ancient Roman archeological sites to contemporary graphics and sculpture. The Cologne Trade Fair hosts a number of trade shows such as Art Cologne, imm Cologne International Furniture Fair and the Photokina. Cologne is also well-known for its celebration of Cologne Carnival, the annual reggae summerjam, and Cologne Gay Pride.
Within Germany, Cologne is also known as an important media center. Several radio and television stations, including Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR), RTL and VOX, have their headquarters in the city.
Thanks a lot for your kind comments.

Toronto is the provincial capital of Ontario. With a recorded population of 2,731,571 in 2016, it is the most populous city in Canada and the fourth most populous city in North America. The city is the anchor of the Golden Horseshoe, an urban agglomeration of 9,245,438 people (as of 2016) surrounding the western end of Lake Ontario, while the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) proper had a 2016 population of 6,417,516. Toronto is an international centre of business, finance, arts, and culture, and is recognized as one of the most multicultural and cosmopolitan cities in the world.
People have travelled through and inhabited the Toronto area, located on a broad sloping plateau interspersed with rivers, deep ravines, and urban forest, for more than 10,000 years. After the broadly disputed Toronto Purchase, when the Mississauga surrendered the area to the British Crown, the British established the town of York in 1793 and later designated it as the capital of Upper Canada. During the War of 1812, the town was the site of the Battle of York and suffered heavy damage by American troops. York was renamed and incorporated in 1834 as the city of Toronto. It was designated as the capital of the province of Ontario in 1867 during Canadian Confederation. The city proper has since expanded past its original borders through both annexation and amalgamation to its current area of 630.2 km2 (243.3 sq mi).
The diverse population of Toronto reflects its current and historical role as an important destination for immigrants to Canada. More than 50 percent of residents belong to a visible minority population group, and over 200 distinct ethnic origins are represented among its inhabitants. While the majority of Torontonians speak English as their primary language, over 160 languages are spoken in the city.
Toronto is a prominent centre for music, theatre, motion picture production, and television production, and is home to the headquarters of Canada's major national broadcast networks and media outlets. Its varied cultural institutions, which include numerous museums and galleries, festivals and public events, entertainment districts, national historic sites, and sports activities, attract over 43 million tourists each year. Toronto is known for its many skyscrapers and high-rise buildings, in particular the tallest free-standing structure in the Western Hemisphere, the CN Tower.
The city is home to the Toronto Stock Exchange, the headquarters of Canada's five largest banks, and the headquarters of many large Canadian and multinational corporations. Its economy is highly diversified with strengths in technology, design, financial services, life sciences, education, arts, fashion, aerospace, environmental innovation, food services, and tourism.

The CN Tower (French: Tour CN) is a 553.3 m-high (1,815.3 ft) concrete communications and observation tower located in Downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Built on the former Railway Lands, it was completed in 1976. Its name "CN" originally referred to Canadian National, the railway company that built the tower. Following the railway's decision to divest non-core freight railway assets prior to the company's privatization in 1995, it transferred the tower to the Canada Lands Company, a federal Crown corporation responsible for real estate development.
The CN Tower held the record for the world's tallest free-standing structure for 32 years until 2007 when it was surpassed by the Burj Khalifa, and was the world's tallest tower until 2009 when it was surpassed by the Canton Tower. It is now the ninth tallest free-standing structure in the world and remains the tallest free-standing structure on land in the Western Hemisphere. In 1995, the CN Tower was declared one of the modern Seven Wonders of the World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. It also belongs to the World Federation of Great Towers.
It is a signature icon of Toronto's skyline and attracts more than two million international visitors annually.

Difícil decisión. Mi familia y amigos ya están deseando ver las fotografías de mi viaje a Suiza. Hay mucho donde elegir, pero, ¿cómo ir dosificando contenidos?. Podía seguir una secuencia temporal como hice con otros viajes, pero en esta ocasión prefiero hacer series temáticas, y como no podía ser de otro modo, mi primera foto tiene como protagonista a uno de mis objetos fetiche, mis queridos bancos.
Esta parejita la cacé a orillas el lago Thun, en el Oberland bernés, al atardecer. El color verde del lago no es fruto de mi afición a la saturación, os prometo que allí los lagos tienen un colorido increible; azul turquesa, verde esmeralda, gris hielo... un regalo para la vista.

To view more of my images, of Waddesdon Manor, inside and out, including some of the most beautiful artwork, and furniture, please click "here" !
Waddesdon Manor is a country house in the village of Waddesdon, in Buckinghamshire, England. The house was built in the Neo-Renaissance style of a French château between 1874 and 1889 for Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild (1839–1898). Since this was the preferred style of the Rothschild's it became also known as the Goût Rothschild. The house, set in formal gardens and an English landscape park, was built on a barren hilltop overlooking Waddesdon village. The last member of the Rothschild family to own Waddesdon was James de Rothschild. He bequeathed the house and its contents to the National Trust in 1957. Today, following an extensive restoration, it is administered by a Rothschild charitable trust that is overseen by Jacob Rothschild, 4th Baron Rothschild. In 2007–08 it was the National Trust's second most visited paid-entry property, with 386,544 visitors. The Baron wanted a house in the style of the great Renaissance châteaux of the Loire Valley. The Baron, a member of the Viennese branch of the Rothschild banking dynasty, chose as his architect Gabriel-Hippolyte Destailleur. Destailleur was already experienced in working in this style, having overseen the restoration of many châteaux in that region, in particular that of the Château de Mouchy. Through Destailleur's vision, Waddesdon embodied an eclectic style based on the châteaux so admired by his patron, Baron Ferdinand. The towers at Waddesdon were based on those of the Château de Maintenon, and the twin staircase towers, on the north facade, were inspired by the staircase tower at the Château de Chambord. However, following the theme of unparalleled luxury at Waddesdon, the windows of the towers at Waddesdon were glazed, unlike those of the staircase at Chambord. They are also far more ornate. The structural design of Waddesdon, however, was not all retrospective. Hidden from view were the most modern innovations of the late 19th century including a steel frame, which took the strain of walls on the upper floors, which consequently permitted the layout of these floors to differ completely from the lower floors. The house also had hot and cold running water in its bathrooms, central heating, and an electric bell system to summon the numerous servants. The building contractor was Edward Conder & Son. The towers were modelled on the staircase towers of Château de Chambord. One of the twin staircase-towers inspired by those at the Château de Maintenon. Once his château was complete, Baron Ferdinand installed his extensive collections of French 18th-century tapestries, boiseries, furniture and ceramics, English and Dutch paintings and Renaissance works of art. Extensive landscaping was carried out and the gardens enhanced with statuary, pavilions and an aviary. The Proserpina fountain was brought to the manor at the end of the 19th Century from the Palace of the Dukes of Parma in northern Italy: the Ducal Palace of Colorno. The gardens and landscape park were laid out by the French landscape architect Elie Lainé. An attempt was made to transplant full-grown trees by chloroforming their roots, to limit the shock. While this novel idea was unsuccessful, many very large trees were successfully transplanted, causing the grounds to be such a wonder of their day that, in 1890, Queen Victoria invited herself to view them. The Queen was, however, more impressed by the electric lighting in the house than the wonders of the park. Fascinated by the invention she had not seen before, she is reported to have spent ten minutes switching a newly electrified 18th-century chandelier on and off. When Baron Ferdinand died in 1898, the house passed to his sister Alice de Rothschild, who further developed the collections. Baron Ferdinand's collection of Renaissance works and a collection of arms were both bequeathed to the British Museum as the "Waddesdon Bequest". During World War II, children under the age of five were evacuated from London and lived at Waddesdon Manor. Following Alice de Rothschild's death in 1922, the property and collections passed to her great-nephew James A. "Jimmy" de Rothschild of the French branch of the family, who further enriched it with objects from the collections of his late father Baron Edmond James de Rothschild of Paris. When James de Rothschild died in 1957, he bequeathed Waddesdon Manor, 200 acres (0.81 km2) of grounds and its contents to the National Trust, to be preserved for posterity. The Trust also received their largest ever endowment from him: £750,000 (£15,310,270 as of 2014).

Rovaniemi is the capital of the province of Lapland in northern Finland. It is best known as the official home of Santa Claus and is located just above the Arctic Circle. Rovaniemi is known worldwide as the home of Santa Claus. The Santa Claus Village is a popular attraction, where visitors have the chance to meet Santa Claus, visit his post office and experience the magic of Christmas all year round. Rovaniemi is located right on the Arctic Circle, meaning it is an excellent location to see the Northern Lights, especially during the winter months. The city also offers unique experiences, such as the opportunity to cross the Arctic Circle. The Arktikum is the science center and museum and provides insight into Arctic nature and culture. It features exhibitions on the history, geology, flora and fauna of the region. Located near Rovaniemi, Ranua Zoo is the northernmost zoo in the world. It is home to a variety of Arctic animals, including polar bears, lynx, reindeer and arctic foxes. Rovaniemi enjoys abundant snow cover during most of the winter. Snowfall usually starts in November and continues until April. This creates a fairytale winter environment. Periods of deep frost are common, with temperatures often dropping to -20°C or even lower. Cold waves with temperatures below -30°C are not uncommon. Rovaniemi offers extensive opportunities for outdoor activities, such as husky rides, reindeer sleigh rides, snowmobile tours and cross-country skiing, allowing visitors to explore the beautiful natural environment. It is important to be well prepared for the winter conditions in Rovaniemi by wearing appropriate clothing, such as thermal layers, insulated jackets, gloves and boots, to comfortably enjoy all the winter activities the region has to offer.
The weather forecast had warned of heavy snowfall and sure enough, the snowflakes fell steadily like a white blanket covering the world. As the night progressed, the snowfall increased in intensity, and the world outside transformed into a fairytale landscape. Trees and buildings bent heavily under the weight of the fresh snow as the icy winter night enveloped everything. Upon waking the next morning my spell was shattered. Everything was covered in a thick layer of snow, and my rental car was nothing more than an unrecognizable shape buried under the white splendor. It seemed as if nature had enveloped the car in a mysterious snow cloak. With a mix of surprise and mild concern, I armed myself with a brush and ice scraper and bravely began the task of freeing my rental car from its white prison. It took some time, but eventually I managed to get the car clear of snow. Fortunately, we could now take a beautiful day trip through the winter wonderland of Lapland
Rovaniemi is de hoofdstad van de provincie Lapland in het noorden van Finland. Het is vooral bekend als de officiële woonplaats van de Kerstman en ligt net boven de poolcirkel. Rovaniemi is wereldwijd bekend als de woonplaats van de Kerstman. Het Santa Claus Village is een populaire attractie, waar bezoekers het hele jaar door de kans hebben om de Kerstman te ontmoeten, zijn postkantoor te bezoeken en de magie van Kerstmis te ervaren. Rovaniemi ligt direct op de poolcirkel, wat betekent dat het een uitstekende locatie is om het noorderlicht te zien, vooral tijdens de wintermaanden. De stad biedt ook unieke ervaringen, zoals de mogelijkheid om de poolcirkel te oversteken. Gelegen in de buurt van Rovaniemi, is Ranua Zoo de noordelijkste dierentuin ter wereld. Het herbergt een verscheidenheid aan Arctische dieren, waaronder ijsberen, lynxen, rendieren en poolvossen. Rovaniemi geniet van een overvloedige sneeuwbedekking gedurende het grootste deel van de winter. Sneeuwval begint meestal al in november en blijft tot april liggen. Hierdoor ontstaat een sprookjesachtige winterse omgeving. In Rovaniemi bezoek ik mijn zoon BieJee, die momenteel onderzoek verricht aan de Universiteit van Lapland. De weersvoorspelling had gewaarschuwd voor hevige sneeuwval en inderdaad, de sneeuwvlokken vielen gestaag als een witte deken die de wereld bedekte. Naarmate de nacht vorderde, nam de sneeuwval toe in intensiteit, en de wereld buiten transformeerde tot een sprookjesachtig landschap. Bomen en gebouwen bogen zwaar onder het gewicht van de verse sneeuw, terwijl de ijskoude winternacht alles omhulde. Bij het ontwaken de volgende ochtend werd mijn betovering verstoord. Alles was bedekt met een dikke laag sneeuw, en mijn huurauto was niet meer dan een onherkenbare vorm begraven onder de witte pracht. Het leek wel alsof de natuur de auto had omhuld in een mysterieuze sneeuwmantel. Met een mix van verbazing en lichte bezorgdheid wapende ik mij met een borstel en ijskrabber en begon moedig aan de taak om mijn huurauto uit zijn witte gevangenis te bevrijden. Het kostte wat tijd, maar uiteindelijk slaagde ik erin de auto sneeuwvrij te krijgen. Gelukkig konden we nu een mooie dagtocht maken door het winterwonderland van Lapland

En las cercanías del Palacio de Gosálvez, se encuentra la Ermita de Santiago Apóstol, construida en honor a Santiago Gosálvez, el antepasado de la familia que, en 1842, estableció las fábricas de harina, hilados y papel continuo en el Puente de Don Juan. La ermita se construyó entre 1946 y 1948 en estilo neogótico, a base de muros de tapial y verdugadas de ladrillo. Sus ventanales (dos a cada lado y tres en la cabecera) así como el arco de la portada, son apuntados. Sobre esta última figura una gran hornacina con un arco de ladrillo de medio punto. En ella había un colorido fondo de azulejos historiado de Santiago Matamoros. La fachada se remata con un pequeño frontón cuadrado de ladillo que, a modo de espadaña, alberga el hueco de la campana.

The Chapel of "Santiago Apóstol" (St. James) is located next to Palace of Gosálvez. It was built in honor of Santiago Gosálvez, the ancestor of the family who, in 1842, established flour, textile and paper industries in "Puente de Don Juan", near Villalgordo del Júcar (Albacete, Spain). The chapel was built between 1946 and 1948 in Neo Gothic style, with walls of mud and rows of bricks. The windows (two on each side and three on the header) and the arc of the façade are pointed. Above the latter there was a niche with a half point brick arch with a colorful historiated background of tiles depicting "Santiago Matamoros" in it. The facade is topped with a small brick square pediment as a bell-gable. Canon EOS 50D with Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 atx pro DX
