Because it occurred to me that it's a long time since I had a picture of me in me compact little kitchen.
Over the last few years every time that I visited there has been construction ongoing which can be a bit annoying but one good thing that has resulted from this work is that they have installed a ramp and a lift to allow wheelchair access to all sections of the park.
Queen Elizabeth II laid a wreath in the Garden of Remembrance during her state visit in May 2011.
The Garden of Remembrance is a memorial garden in Dublin dedicated to the memory of "all those who gave their lives in the cause of Irish Freedom". It is located in the northern fifth of the former Rotunda Gardens in Parnell Square, a Georgian square at the northern end of O'Connell Street. The garden, which I really like, is in the form of a sunken cruciform water-feature. The focal point is a statue of the Children of Lir by Oisín Kelly, symbolising rebirth and resurrection, added in 1971.
In front of an empty storefront on Washington, a musician plays away. But no one stopped and the only money in his case, at this point, was his starter bill.
Longshan Temple (龍山寺) is one of the oldest temples in Taipei. It was built by the Hokkien migrants from China in 1738 as a branch of the temple from their homeland, where it was built at the foot of the dragon mountain, or longshan.
The original structure was destroyed by fires and earthquakes and bombed by the Americans during World War II. So the current temple is quite new.
The temple is an impressive sight, with the intricately carved figures on the roofs of the various buildings. But what is truly impressive is that it is very much a part of the religious and cultural life of the residents. When we got there, there was an ongoing ceremony and so the temple was filled with people chanting and presenting their offerings to the deities in the temple.
"I let my heart go in the wind, being free and look at where it got me."
Okay so I totally copied CaraAllen. I'm so not proud of that either, but all the credit goes to her for this idea/theme or whatnot.
Again not proud of this. I'm uncreativeeeee :(
In 1976, when I bicycled through -then- Czecjoslovakia, communism was still going strong, which was noticeable in all storefronts...

BibiBidi settlement in northern Uganda is the fastest growing refugee settlement in the world. Opened in August it already counts more than 210,000 refugees. Day after day, thousands of South Sudanese are fleeing their country. They speak of arbitrary killings, rapes, the abduction of boys as child soldiers and widespread looting. Uganda is trying to deal with this mass influx of people from the regions of Yei and Lainya. By the time they reach the border, many of them have spent days in the bush hiding from the armed groups who are terrorising the roads. Upon arriving in Uganda, they are registered, screened for malnutrition and health problems, and transported to centres where they are given hot meals and eventually allocated a plot to build a temporary shelter. The EU is stepping up its aid for the South Sudan crisis with 78 MEUR. With 1 million refugees, over half of which reside in Uganda, and 1.7 million internally displaced people the needs are immense.Photos: EU/ECHO/Bertha Wangari
The Great Patriotic War (Russian: Вели́кая Оте́чественная война́, romanized: Velikaja Otečestvennaja vojna) is a term used in Russia and some other former republics of the Soviet Union to describe the conflict fought during the period from 22 June 1941 to 9 May 1945 along the many fronts of the Eastern Front of World War II, primarily between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. For some legal purposes, this period may be extended to 11 May 1945 to include the end of the Prague offensive.
History
The term Patriotic War refers to the Russian resistance to the French invasion of Russia under Napoleon I, which became known as the Patriotic War of 1812. In Russian, the term отечественная война originally referred to a war on one's own territory (otechestvo means "the fatherland"), as opposed to a campaign abroad (заграничная война), and later was reinterpreted as a war for the fatherland, i.e. a defensive war for one's homeland. Sometimes the Patriotic War of 1812 was also referred to as the Great Patriotic War (Великая отечественная война); the phrase first appeared in 1844 and became popular on the eve of the centenary of the Patriotic War of 1812.
After 1914, the phrase was applied to World War I. It was the name of a special war-time appendix to the magazine Theater and Life (Театр и жизнь) in Saint Petersburg, and referred to the Eastern Front of World War I, where Russia fought against the German Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The phrases Second Patriotic War (Вторая отечественная война) and Great World Patriotic War (Великая всемирная отечественная война) were also used during World War I in Russia.
The term Great Patriotic War re-appeared in the official newspaper of the CPSU, Pravda, on 23 June 1941, just a day after Germany invaded the Soviet Union. It was found in the title of "The Great Patriotic War of the Soviet People" (Velikaya Otechestvennaya Voyna Sovetskogo Naroda), a long article by Yemelyan Yaroslavsky, a member of Pravda editors' collegium. The phrase was intended to motivate the population to defend the Soviet fatherland and to expel the invader, and a reference to the Patriotic War of 1812 was seen as a great morale booster. During the Soviet period, historians engaged in huge distortions to make history fit with Communist ideology, with Marshal Mikhail Kutuzov and Prince Pyotr Bagration transformed into peasant generals, Alexander I alternatively ignored or vilified, and the war becoming a massive "People's War" fought by the ordinary people of Russia with almost no involvement on the part of the government. The invasion by Germany was called the Great Patriotic War by the Soviet government to evoke comparisons with the victory by Tsar Alexander I over Napoleon's invading army.
The term Отечественная война (Patriotic War or Fatherland War) was officially recognized by establishment of the Order of the Patriotic War on 20 May 1942, awarded for heroic deeds.
The term is not generally used outside the former Soviet Union, and the closest term is the Eastern Front of World War II (1941–1945). Neither term covers the initial phase of World War II in Eastern Europe, during which the USSR, then still in a non-aggression pact with Germany, invaded eastern Poland (1939), the Baltic states (1940), Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina (1940) and Finland (1939–1940). The term also does not cover the Soviet–Japanese War (1945) nor the Battles of Khalkhin Gol (1939).
In Russia and some other post-Soviet countries, the term is given great significance; it is accepted as a representation of the most important part of World War II. Until 2014, Uzbekistan was the only nation in the Commonwealth of Independent States that had not recognized the term, referring to it as World War II on the state holiday - the Day of Remembrance and Honour.

National Gallery in Prague - Palais Kinsky (Národní galerie v Praze - palác Kinských)
One of the most impressive gothic sacred buildings in Prague, built between the 14th century and the beginning of the 16th century. At the end of the 17th century the interior was rebuilt in Baroque style. The church is an extensive gallery for Gothic, early Baroque and Renaissance works. The most famous among them are the altarpieces of Karl Škréta and the tombstone of the astronomer Tycho Brahe. The present organ from 1673 is the oldest in Prague.
At this point stood already in the 11th century an older Romanesque church, a small one. It was a hospital church for foreign traders who came to the Ungelt. This one was replaced in the second half of the 13th century by an early-Gothic construction which was about two-thirds smaller than that of today's church. Inside preached to his death the critic of church morality Konrad Waldhauser and also Johann Militsch of Kremsier. In the first half of the 14th century, today's high-Gothic church was founded, which was given the function of the main church of the old town and the parish church. Concurrently with the construction of the new church, the old church was gradually abandoned. On the building had a considerable influence the builder's hut of Matthias of Arras and above all of Peter Parler. To Parler, in particular, remembers the amply decorated front window at a height of 28 m, the window tracery of the main nave, the presbytery and the magnificent north portal. At the beginning of the fifteenth century still the towers, the gables, and the truss were missing. In the Hussite period, the Tyn Church dominated a group of Huss supporters with Jakobus of Mies at the head, and since 1427, the chosen Hussite Archbishop, Johann von Rokitzan, has been serving here as priest, who has also found here his last resting place. After the end of the Hussite wars, the building was to be roofed, but the wood needed for the truss was used for the construction of the gallows for Johann Roháč of Dauba and his 50 mates, who after the conquest of the last bastion of the hussites by Sigismund have been executed on Old Town Square. The roof was then 20 years later built with wood provided for the construction of the solemn grandstands for the wedding of the Bohemian King Ladislaus Postumus with the French princess Magdalena. The wedding did not take place, because Ladislaus Postumus died. The church was completed under the reign of Georg von Podiebrad, who was elected king in the nearby Old Town Town Hall. In the times of his reign the gable of the main nave and the northern tower were built. On the pediment, at the request of Johann von Rokitzan, his statue "of the Hussit king" was placed, and beneath a gilded giant chalice, the symbol of the communion under both figures. The portrait of the king was then replaced in 1626 by the Madonna figure of Kaspar Bechteler, and of the chalice was made the Madonna's halo. The southern tower dates from 1511.
The towers are 80 meters high. The northern tower is called Eve, the southern tower (about 1 m higher) Adam. They were built at that time from an advanced scaffolding, its floor was laid on beams that were stuck in the openings which were at regular intervals inserted in the walls. It was thus possible to work both internally and externally. In 1679, the church burned down, the main nave was then lowered and Baroque-like vaulted.
The church is a three-nave basilica with towers at the western front and with three choirs at each nave on the east side. It has admirable dimensions: length 52 m, width 28 m, height of the nave 44 m and of the lateral naves 24 m.
The church is an extensive gallery of Gothic, Renaissance and early Baroque buildings. Of the sculptures, the Parler-Portal of the Teyn-Alley of 1390 is the most significant one, decorated with tympanum, on which can be found scenes from the suffering of Christ. The Tympanon original is now housed in the National Gallery. The gothic pewter basin from the year 1414 (the oldest in Prague) stands out from the interior, adorned with relief apostles, then the Gothic stone carving and finally two Gothic benches with consoles in the form of crowned heads. On the pillars between the main nave and the left aisle is the late-Gothic canopy of Matthias Rejsek from the year 1493 (originally on the tomb of Bishop Lucian of Mirandola, ordaining priests of Kalixtin).
The main altar with the paintings of Karel Škréta is an illustration of the early Baroque portal architecture from 1649. The famous Gothic sculpture of the Madonna with Christ Child, the so-called Madonna of Teyn dating from around 1420, stands at the neo-gothic altar on the wall in the right side aisle. The Calvary, the work of the master of the Tyn crucifixion from the beginning of the 15th century, is at the Baroque altar at the end of the left aisle. Fourteen large canvases of the Cross painted 1854 František Čermák. There are 19 altars in the church, in whose emergence and ornamentation Franz Maximilian Kaňka, Karel Škréta, Jan Georg Bendl, Joseph Adalbert Hellich, Ferdinand Maximilian Brokoff, Johann Georg Heinsch and others took part. At the beginning of the year 2000 the restorers discovered in the church a rarely preserved Gothic fresco from the end of the 14th century which was hidden behind one of the altars in the north side nave. On it Saint Jerome is depicted with a lion and the client of the painting.
The local organ is the oldest in Prague. It was built by German master builder Hans Heinrich Mundt and his assistants in 1673. The organ was restored in the Rhineland town of Bonn and returned to the church in 2000.
The Tyn Church prides itself on possessing a large number of preserved tombstones. About 60 are known, some are unknown, others have been removed from here once when the new ground was laid. Among the best known is the tombstone of Tycho Brahe, the Danish astronomer at the imperial court of Rudolph II from 1601. The next grave belongs to Wenzel Berka of Dauba, the commander and councilor at the Bohemian chamber, passing away in 1575. It is one of the most succeeded renaissance portrait tombs with an unusual detail picture of a man in harness. Legend has it that in the church was also buried the heart of Georg von Podiebrad, while his body rests in the tomb of the Bohemian kings on the Prague Castle. Interesting is the tombstone of a boy - a renegade from the Jewish religion of Simon Abeles, who wanted to be baptized. His father but preferred to kill him, and then hanged himself. Because he actually died for faith, a pompous funeral was held, in which all people of Prague took part, and here he was subsequently buried. In 1631, the heads of the twelve of twenty-seven Bohemian lords decapitated at the Old Town Square in 1621 were taken down from the shameful cage on the Old Town Bridge Tower and buried in the Tyn Church. Since then, they were often searched in vain there. There are also many children's tombstones, including also a mother with six daughters and six sons. Many tombstones are damaged due to the entering, because standing on the tombstone once was not regarded as a dishonor to the deceased. On the contrary, it has been believed that it helps against toothache.
Since 1973, the total reconstruction of the Tyn Church has taken place. Since the German occupation, the bell tower in the north tower was yawning empty. The new 960 kg bronze bell from the workshop of Manoušek was put into operation only at Easter 1992. The bell is consecrated to the Pieta and Saint Anastasia of Bohemia. On the 19th February 2008, three new bells were installed: Johann von Nepomuk (more than 300 kg), Ludmilla (more than 500 kg) and Archangel Gabriel (2.5 tons), which have been created in the workshop of the Dietrich family - translated into Czech language, Dytrych) in Brodek near Prerau.
The Tyn Church is a national cultural monument.
Einer der eindrucksvollsten gotischen Sakralbauten in Prag, errichtet ab der Hälfte des 14. Jahrhunderts bis zum Anfang des 16. Jahrhunderts. Am Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts wurde die Inneneinrichtung im Barockstil umgebaut. Die Kirche ist eine weitläufige Galerie für gotische, frühbarocke und Renaissance-Werke. Die bekanntesten unter ihnen sind die Altarbilder von Karl Škréta und der Grabstein des Astronomen Tycho Brahe. Die heutige Orgel aus dem Jahre 1673 ist die älteste in Prag.
An dieser Stelle stand bereits im 11. Jahrhundert eine ältere romanische Kleinkirche. Es war eine Spitalkirche für fremde Händler, die zum Ungelt kamen. Diese wurde in der zweiten Hälfte des 13. Jahrhunderts durch einen frühgotischen im Vergleich zur heutigen Kirche etwa um zwei Drittel kleineren Bau ersetzt. Drin predigte bis zu seinem Tode der Kritiker der kirchlichen Sitten Konrad Waldhauser und auch Johann Militsch von Kremsier. In der Hälfte des 14. Jahrhunderts wurde die heutige hochgotische Kirche gegründet, die die Funktion der Hauptkirche der Altstadt und der Pfarrkirche erhielt. Gleichzeitig mit dem Bau der neuen Kirche ging schrittweise die alte Kirche unter. Auf den Bau hatte einen erheblichen Einfluss die Hofhütte von Matthias von Arras und vor allem von Peter Parler. An Parler erinnern insbesondere das reichlich geschmückte Frontfenster in einer Höhe von 28 m, die Fenstermaßwerke des Hauptschiffs, das Presbyterium und das großartige Nordportal. Anfang des 15. Jahrhunderts fehlten nur noch die Türme, der Giebel und der Dachstuhl. In den Hussitenzeiten beherrschte die Teynkirche eine Gruppe der Huss-Anhänger mit Jakobellus von Mies an der Spitze und seit 1427 diente hier als Pfarrer der gewählte Hussitenerzbischof Johann von Rokitzan, der hier auch beigesetzt ist. Nach dem Ende der Hussitenkriege sollte der Bau überdacht werden, aber das für den Dachstuhl erforderliche Holz wurde für den Bau der Galgen für Johann Roháč von Dauba und seine 50 Kumpel verbraucht, die nach der Eroberung der letzten Hussitenbastei, der Burg Sion, von Sigismund auf dem Altstädterring hingerichtet wurden. Der Dachstuhl wurde dann 20 Jahre später aus für den Bau der feierlichen Tribünen für die Hochzeit des böhmischen Königs Ladislaus Postumus mit der französischen Prinzessin Magdalena vorgesehenem Holz gefertigt. Die Hochzeit fand nicht statt, Ladislaus Postumus starb nämlich. Die Kirche wurde unter der Regierung von Georg von Podiebrad fertig gestellt, der im unweit liegenden Altstädter Rathaus zum König gewählt wurde. In den Zeiten seiner Macht wurden der Giebel des Hauptschiffs und der Nordturm gebaut. Auf den Giebel wurde auf Antrag von Johann von Rokitzan seine Statue “des Hussitenkönigs“ gestellt und darunter ein vergoldeter Riesenkelch, das Symbol der Kommunion unter beiden Gestalten. Das Portrait des Königs wurde dann im Jahre 1626 durch die Madonna-Gestalt von Kaspar Bechteler ersetzt und aus dem Kelch wurde Madonnas Heiligenschein gefertigt. Der Südturm stammt aus dem Jahr 1511.
Die Türme sind 80 Meter hoch. Der Nordturm heißt Eva, der Südturm (ca. um 1 m höher) Adam. Sie wurden zu damaligen Zeiten von einem vorgeschobenen Gerüst gebaut, sein Boden wurde auf in den Öffnungen hindurchgesteckte Balken gelegt, die in regelmäßigen Zeitabständen in Wänden belassen wurden. So war es möglich, zugleich von innen sowie von außen zu arbeiten. 1679 brannte die Kirche nieder, das Hauptschiff wurde dann herabgesetzt und barockartig gewölbt.
Die Kirche ist eine Dreischiffbasilika mit Türmen an der westlichen Stirnseite und mit drei Chören an jedem Schiff auf der Ostseite. Sie hat verehrungswürdige Maße: Länge 52 m, Breite 28 m, Höhe des Mittelschiffs 44 m und der Nebenschiffe 24 m.
Die Kirche ist eine ausgedehnte Galerie von Gotik-, Renaissance- und Frühbarockwerken. Von den Plastiken ist das Parler-Portal von der Teyn-Gasse ca. aus 1390, verziert mit Tympanon, am bedeutendsten, auf dem sich Szenen aus dem Leiden Christi befinden. Das Tympanonoriginal ist heute in der Nationalgalerie untergebracht. Von der Inneneinrichtung ragt das gotische Zinntaufbecken aus dem Jahr 1414 (das älteste in Prag) hervor, verziert mit Reliefapostelgestalten, die gotische Steinkanzel, zwei gotische Bänke mit Konsolen in der Form gekrönter Köpfe. Auf den Pfeilern zwischen dem Hauptschiff und dem linken Seitenschiff ist das spätgotische Baldachin von Matthias Rejsek aus dem Jahr 1493 (ursprünglich über dem Grab von Bischof Lucian von Mirandola, der Kalixtinerpriester weihte).
Der Hauptaltar mit den Bildern von Karel Škréta (Mariä Himmelfahrt und Allerheiligste Dreifältigkeit) ist eine Veranschaulichung der Frühbarockportalarchitektur aus dem Jahr 1649. Die bekannte gotische Skulptur der Madonna mit Christkind, der so genannten Madonna von Teyn aus der Zeit um 1420, steht am neugotischen Altar an der Wand im rechten Seitenschiff. Der Kalvarienberg, das Werk des Meisters der Teyn-Kreuzigung aus dem Beginn des 15. Jahrhunderts, befindet sich am Barockaltar zum Schluss des linken Seitenschiffs. Vierzehn große Leinwände des Kreuzwegs malte 1854 František Čermák. In der Kirche gibt es insgesamt 19 Altäre, an deren Entstehung und Verzierung sich Franz Maximilian Kaňka, Karel Škréta, Jan Georg Bendl, Joseph Adalbert Hellich, Ferdinand Maximilian Brokoff, Johann Georg Heinsch und weitere beteiligten. Zu Beginn des Jahres 2000 entdeckten die Restauratoren in der Kirche eine selten erhaltene gotische Freske aus dem Ende des 14. Jahrhunderts, die hinter einem der Altäre im seitlichen Nordschiff versteckt war. Es sind darauf der Hl. Hieronymus mit einem Löwen und der Auftraggeber des Gemäldes abgebildet.
Die hiesige Orgel ist die älteste in Prag. Sie wurde vom deutschen Baumeister Hans Heinrich Mundt und von seinen Gehilfen 1673 gebaut. Die Orgel wurde in der rheinländischen Stadt Bonn restauriert und im Jahre 2000 wieder in die Kirche zurückgebracht.
Die Teynkirche rühmt sich mit einer großen Zahl erhaltener Grabsteine. Etwa 60 sind bekannt, manche sind unbekannt, andere wurden von hier einst beseitigt, als der neue Boden gelegt wurde. Unter die bekanntesten gehört der Grabstein von Tycho der Brahe, dem dänischen Sternforscher auf dem kaiserlichen Hof von Rudolph II. aus dem Jahr 1601. Der nächste Grabstein gehört Wenzel Berka von Dauba, dem Heerführer und Rat bei der böhmischen Kammer, der 1575 entschlummert ist. Es ist einer der gelungensten Renaissanceportraitgrabsteine mit einer ungewöhnlichen Detailabbildung eines Mannes im Harnisch. Die Legende erzählt, dass in der Kirche auch das Herz von Georg von Podiebrad begraben wurde, während sein Körper in der Gruft der böhmischen Könige auf der Prager Burg ruht. Interessant ist der Grabstein eines Jungen - eines Abtrünnigen von der jüdischen Religion Simon Abeles, der sich taufen lassen wollte. Sein Vater brachte ihn jedoch lieber um und erhängte sich dann selbst. Weil er eigentlich für den Glauben starb, wurde ihm ein pompöses Begräbnis ausgerichtet, an dem das ganze Prag teilnahm, und hier wurde er dann beigesetzt. 1631 wurden vom schmählichen Käfig auf dem Altstädter Brückenturm die Köpfe der zwölf von siebenundzwanzig am Altstädterring im Jahre 1621 enthaupteten böhmischen Herren heruntergenommen und in der Teynkirche beigesetzt. Seit damals wurden sie hier sehr oft vergeblich gesucht. Hier gibt es auch viele Kindergrabsteine, unter anderem auch eine Mutter mit sechs Töchtern und sechs Söhnen. Viele Grabsteine sind durch das langjährige Betreten beschädigt, denn am Grabstein herumzustehen wurde früher als keine Unehre zum Verstorbenen betrachtet. Man hat im Gegenteil daran geglaubt, dass es gegen Zahnschmerzen hilft.
Seit 1973 verlief die Gesamtrenovierung der Teynkirche. Seit der deutschen Besetzung war der Glockenturm im Nordturm gähnend leer. Die neue 960 kg wiegende Bronzeglocke aus der Werkstatt der Firma Manoušek wurde erst zu Ostern 1992 in Betrieb gesetzt. Die Glocke ist der Pieta und der Heiligen Anastasia von Böhmen eingeweiht. Am 19. 2. 2008 wurden drei neue Glocken eingesetzt: Johann von Nepomuk (über 300 kg schwer), Ludmilla (über 500 kg schwer) und Erzengel Gabriel (2,5 Tonen schwer), die in der Werkstatt der Familie Dietrich (vertschechischt zu Dytrych) in Brodek bei Prerau entstanden.
Die Teynkirche ist ein Volkskulturdenkmal.

The historic John and Bartha Moulton barn, on Mormon Row in Grand Teton National Park, is usually photographed against the massive backdrop of the Teton Mountain Range, but on this early morning, the mountains were mostly obscured by freezing fog. That provided a rare opportunity to photograph the iconic structure on its own merits. Even though the roof line itself looks like a Teton peak, the building and surrounding structures - nice and frosty on this early spring morning - have graceful proportionality, texture and color that called to me.
Buildings from six homesteads still stand in the Mormon Row Historic District, thanks to conservation efforts by many groups. Until this year, a central parcel in this historic site was a private in-holding in Grand Teton National Park, owned by descendents of the original homesteaders. Ultimately, the purchase price was raised by the Grand Teton National Park Foundation, and the property added to the park. Read a good synopsis here:
From the National Park Service brochure:
“Mormon Row Historic District
The Homestead Act of 1862 promised 160 acres to any person willing to “improve” the land by building a dwelling and cultivating the land. After five years on the land, the original settler was entitled to the property, free and clear. Mormon families in the 1890s began homesteading the land in the Grovont area with hopes of beginning a new life. They constructed ranches, homes, a church, and a school – a true community.
…Contrary to the independent culture of homesteading that existed in Jackson Hole, Mormon families moved to the valley and approached tasks communally. By living, working, worshipping, and playing together, they turned Western ideals of rugged-individualism on their heads…”
