Die Barrikade auf dem Michaelerplatz in der Nacht vom 26. auf den 27. Mai 1848
Anton Ziegler
1848
Wien Museum
"The demonstration of the students on March 13, with which they demanded freedom of speech, teaching, and learning, was the starting note for the revolutionary events of 1848. From then on, the “Academic legion”, an armed formation of students, was at the forefront of all revolutionary actions. When the government resolved to dissolve the Legion, the students, supported by workers from the periphery, erected roughly 160 barricades in Vienna’s city centre from 26 to 28 May, with which they forced the government to repeal the decree." sammlung.wienmuseum.at/en/album/a2ciemencqh4v4gpf-barrica...

She stood, waiting. The morning chill was fresh in her nostrils and the beat of the waterfall was prominent in her ears. She thought back to the early days when she and her husband had lived happily in this little cottage. She thought of the months they had spent building it, the seasons they had spent sowing seed and harvesting the crops. She remembered the cold winters and the hot summers spent with him, they had been times of peace. But that was before the war came.
Her husband had marched of to do his duty for the kingdom, and she hadn't heard from him since. Four years on, the war having now ended, she waited. Everyday she listened intently for the sound of a horse's hooves to drift along the stone path, for the familiar tune her beloved had always whistled. She was hopeful. She was sure that he would have survived the war - how could he not? He was a strong man. At the end of each day when he had not returned, she kept up her faith, hoping that tomorrow would be the day. "He will come", she told herself. "In time, he will come".

So, long time no build! I actually started this sometime last year, (early last month :P) but only just got around to finishing it. Hope you enjoy!

Taizō-in (退蔵院?) is the oldest sub-temple (tatchū (塔頭?)) of the Myōshin-ji Rinzai Zen Buddhist temple, situated in the northwest of Kyoto, Japan. It was founded by Zen priest Muinsoin in 1404. The original temple buildings were burned during the Ōnin War (1467-1477), and were later rebuilt.
Taizō-in is well known for its two gardens. The main garden, Motonobu-no-niwa, is a traditional Japanese dry landscape garden (karesansui), containing several angular rocks suggesting the cliffs of the island of Hōrai, with smaller stones suggesting a stream. The planting is mostly evergreen, including camellia, pine, and Japanese umbrella pine. It covers 50 tsubo (170 m²) and was designed to integrate a borrowing of scenery ("shakkei") of a view of Narabigaoka Hill in the distance. It is thought to be the final work of Muromachi painter Kanō Motonobu (狩野 元信), reproducing one of his paintings in three dimensions.
A new pond garden, or yoko-en, was designed by Kinsaku Nakane in 1963-1966. The new garden is large enough for visitors to walk in, and contains azaleas and a stream that cascades along the main axis, directly toward the main viewing position. The stream flows around rocks, gradually widening until it empties into a pool in front of the viewer. (Wikipedia)
Have a great weekend. I have been so busy I haven't had any Flickr time. I went out yesterday with some friends. Just a lovely day, not much for photo shooting so came home and took this shot in my garden.

Today was an incredibly beautiful winter day in Oregon.
We spent the day driving over the Oregon Coastal Range to spend the day in Tillamook, playing on the beach with our doggies.
On the way to the ocean, we must have seen at least a dozen Red-tailed Hawks in trees, on power poles, on road signs, and flying around the fields. We also saw a few Bald Eagles, but the Hawks easily outnumbered the Eagles on this beautiful day.
This particular Hawk was quite a big boy (or girl, as I don't know how to sex these birdies). In comparison, a few minutes earlier, an adult Cooper's Hawk flew out of this same tree and it looked like a small babe in comparison to this large Red-tailed Hawk. Both were beautiful birds.
What a wonderful day for raptor watching!
In mid-July, my husband's veggie garden is still in pretty good shape. Later on, the weeds will get the upper hand [and I will be laboring in gardens of my own]. Squash and potatoes have their own garden, since they take up so much space.
I see his dreams coming true.

#mood for Winter:
I'm driving home for Christmas
Oh, I can't wait to see those faces
I'm driving home for Christmas, yea
Well I'm moving down that line
And it's been so long
But I will be there
I sing this song
To pass the time away
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas
It's gonna take some time
But I'll get there
Top to toe in tailbacks
Oh, I got red lights on the run
But soon there'll be a freeway yeah
Get my feet on holy ground
So I sing for you
Though you can't hear me
When I get through
And feel you near me
Driving in my car
I'm driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas
With a thousand memories
I take a look at the driver next to me
He's just the same
Just the same
Top to toe in tailbacks
Oh, I got red lights all around, uh
I'm driving home for Christmas, yeah
Get my feet on holy ground
So I sing for you
Though you can't hear me
When I get through
Oh and feel you near me
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas
With a thousand memories
I take a look at the driver next to me
He's just the same
He's driving home, driving home

This is a copy of an original bust by French sculptor Jean Antoine Houdon in 1785. The original was created in George Washington’s home.
The colored rectangles on our national hero, our Republic's Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, our number one founding father, are my two cents of comment.

Stary Cmentarz w Łodzi - the Old Cemetery in Łódź
With the growing number of textile plants in Lodz in the 19th century, accompanied by rapid growth of the city and the number of its inhabitants, the city authorities were forced to open a new cemetery in 1856. The old Christian necropolis around the wooden St. Joseph church between Ogrodowa, Zachodnia, Legionów and Gdańska Streets could no longer accommodate new graves. The site of the new cemetery was a large plot of land in the outskirts of the city, adjacent to the opposite side of Ogrodowa Street and extending to the West towards the Mania settlement. It consisted of three parts, each for a different Christian denomination: Catholic, Evangelical-Augsburg and Orthodox. The latter separated the east Catholic part from the west Evangelical section of the cemetery. Currently, the necropolis is one of the most frequented places in Lodz, not only for sentimental reasons but also due to its historical and artistic value. The Old Cemetery in Lodz, as it is popularly called by the inhabitants of the "City by the Boat" (Lodz is the Polish word for boat), often compared to the Powązki Cemetery in Warsaw, is a real treasure of sepulchral monuments.
Among hundreds of tombs and gravestones, particularly beautiful are those from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries and from the first two decades of the 20th century, such as the excellently renovated grave of Zofia Biedermann or the tomb of the Grobman family or of Henryk Feder. Among other precious tombs, of particular interest are the tomb chapels of Juliusz Heinzl and Juliusz Kuntzer and the pyramide-shaped tomb of the Heiman-Jarecki family, heroes of the Polish-Soviet war, or the Neo-Byzantine chapel of the Gojrzewski family in the Orthodox part of the cemetery. A true masterpiece and the most popular monument of the Old Cemetery is the Karl Scheibler's Neo-Gothic chapel-mausoleum considered to be the most beautiful product of the Polish Neo-Gothic. It has been gradually renovated for a number of years now, mainly using funds raised by the Foundation for Rescuing Karl Scheibler's Chapel. On 1st November each year, the Old Cemetery Preservation Society raises funds for renovating the monuments of the necropolis.
