Arriving in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, at the Choeung Ek Genocidal Center – a site better known as the Killing Fields.
Its has tranquil paths, leading to a Memorial Stupa housing 8,000 human skulls from those killed by the Khmer Rouge,
You will also see many mass graves during your time at Choeung Ek (although 86 out of 129 have been uncovered so far) – one is home to 450 victims, while another is filled with the bodies of Khmer Rouge soldiers, those whom Pol Pot accused of having a “Cambodian body, but Vietnamese head.”
Today the graves are protected beneath open-air shelters and surrounded by bamboo fences – and on each and every fence post there are bracelets; brightly colored friendship bracelets, ones made from ribbons, and others that read Cambodia on their sides.
Thousands and thousands of bracelets will most likely move you the most.
Apparently they are an important part of Baci ceremonies, tied around a person’s wrist for good luck.
What else can you do but hope and pray and believe for healing and leave something, anything, behind you that says we were here, and that we remember?
Die Ausstellung zeigt Arbeiten von zeitgenössischen Fotokünstlern, die sich motivisch wie inhaltlich auf bekannte Bilder der Kunstgeschichte beziehen. Dazu bedienen sie sich unterschiedlicher Verweistechniken. Die Künstler paraphrasieren etwa das jeweilige Vorbild als Ganzes oder unterziehen es leichten Veränderungen und versehen es mit neuen Bildvorstellungen. Andere zitieren einzelne Elemente und stellen sie in neue Kontexte. Während einige Arbeiten den expliziten Hinweis auf ihre Vorbilder geben, lassen andere auf den Einfluss durch etwa Bildaufbau, Lichtführung oder Sujet rückschließen. Die Ausstellung spürt den Entstehungsprozessen von Kunst nach und arbeitet dabei die Reflexionsebenen der einzelnen Positionen heraus, um aufzuzeigen, dass Kunst und hier im speziellen die Fotokunst sich stets auf Kunst bezieht.
Gezeigt werden Arbeiten von Claudia Angelmaier, Johannes Brus, Victor Burgin, Jose Dávila, Elger Esser, Christiane Feser, Günther Förg, Beate Gütschow, Axel Hütte, Delia Keller, Annette Kelm, Gerd Kittel, Louise Lawler, Sherrie Levine, Timm Rautert, Evelyn Richter, Georges Rousse, Andres Serrano u.a.

in lieu of prom season, our focus in tonight's class was updos. one of the assistants wanted to see how this style would be executed. it apparently involves teasing the entire head and sculpting it from there.
A few shots from a wedding I did a few weeks ago. It was a wonderful day, even if the sun didn't shine (a bummer for a beach wedding).
St Leonard, Mundford, Norfolk
Ninian Comper restored and furnished the interiors of three small East Anglian churches, and this is the least known of the three. The reredos is in poor condition now, and the screen was never gilded as planned. But the chancel furnishings are one of his best sets.
The church sits in a large village on the edge of the Battle Training Area. The restoration was paid for by the Lynne-Stephens family, who also bankrolled the fabulous Our Lady and the English Martyrs Catholic church in Cambridge.

Die Kirche Sankt Peter und Paul ist ein christkatholisches Kirchengebäude an der Rathaus-
gasse 2 in Bern.
Es wurde 1858 bis 1864 als erste katholische Kirche der Stadt Bern in unmittelbarer Nach-
barschaft zum B.erner R.athaus errichtet. Die Kirche ist das Resultat eines internationalen
Wettbewerbs; die Pläne stammten aus F.rankreich (u. a. von Pierre Joseph Edouard
Deperthes, dem Architekten des R.athauses von P.aris) und der historisierende Stil ahmt
die Formensprache der Romanik und Frühgotik nach.
Der erste Gottesdienst fand am 13. November 1864 statt. 1875 wurde die Kirche im Zuge
des Kulturkampfes christkatholisch. Aus der Jugendstilzeit stammen die Deckenmalereien
und die farbigen Fenster; der Chorraum wurde 1998 neu gestaltet. Das Geläut besteht aus
drei G.locken der Glockengiesserei Rüetschi mit den Schlagtönen d1, f1 und a1.
Die Kirche Sankt Peter und Paul ist Pfarrkirche der christkatholischen Kirchgemeinde Bern
und dient gleichzeitig dem christkatholischen Bischof der Schweiz als K.athedralkirche. Zu
den Namen der bisherigen Bischöfe siehe Liste der Schweizer Christkatholischen Bischöfe.

Dumfries House is a Palladian country house in Ayrshire, Scotland. It is located within a large estate, around 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) west of Cumnock. Noted for being one of the few such houses with much of its original 18th-century furniture still present, including specially commissioned Thomas Chippendale pieces, the house and estate is now owned in charitable trust by the The Great Steward of Scotland's Dumfries House Trust, which maintains it as a visitor attraction and hospitality and wedding venue. Both the house and the gardens are listed as significant aspects of Scottish heritage.
The estate and an earlier house was originally called Lochnorris, owned by Craufords of Loudoun. The present house was built in the 1750s for William Dalrymple, 5th Earl of Dumfries, by John Adam and Robert Adam. Having been inherited by the 2nd Marquess of Bute in 1814, it remained in his family until 7th Marquess decided to sell it due to the cost of upkeep.
Due to its significance and the risk of the furniture collection being distributed and auctioned, after three years of uncertainty, in 2007 the estate and its entire contents was purchased for £45m for the country by a consortium headed by Charles, Prince of Wales, including a £20m loan from the Prince's charitable trust. The intention was to renovate the estate to become self-sufficient, both to preserve it and regenerate the local economy. As well as donors and sponsorship, funding is also intended to come from constructing the nearby housing development of Knockroon, a planned community along the lines of the Prince's similar venture, Poundbury in Dorset

Floriade.
Floriade is a word used for a large international flower exhibition held in the Netherlands every ten years. It moves to a different Dutch city every time. It is also used by the ACT for its bulb and tulip festival each year. As a major world producer of flowers and bulbs the Netherlands also has a tulip festival annually at the Keukenhof Garden, the world’s largest garden. Keukenhof covers about 65 acres (32 hectares) and displays seven million bulbs, mainly tulips. In Australia we are lucky to have such a large tulip festival annually in Canberra saving us the expense of travel to Keukenhof! But there are other tulip festivals in Australia including ones in the Dandenongs in Victoria, at Bowral in the NSW Highlands and Wynyard in Tasmania. All regions produce tulips commercially as well as having festivals.
Tulips.
Tulips belong to the Lilly family and there 109 species of tulips and hundreds of garden hybrids or cultivars. Many tulips come from Turkey and Iran but some come from Europe, China and North America. The Netherlands is the world’s largest commercial grower of tulip bulbs and flowers. The flowers are popular with gardeners the world over. Most tulips are of a single colour but a virus carried by an aphid has led to multicoloured and variegated varieties. The cup shape of the tulip is easily recognisable. Some fancy species now have ruffled edges (called parrot tulips) and the most common variety grown in Australian gardens is the Monet Tulip which comes in a huge range of colours from red, yellow, orange, white and variegated. The Queen of the Night is a common “black” variety for gardens and it comes in the parrot form too.
Tulip Mania.
It seems hard to credit but tulips once led to a mania and bulbs used to cost literally the equivalent of thousands of dollars. This occurred during the Golden Age of Holland in the mid 1630s. Tulips were a new introduction to Holland then. Within a couple of years and by 1636 tulip bulbs had become the fourth leading export of the Netherlands. Tulips became so fashionable with the wealthy in Holland and France that prices began to skyrocket in early 1636.At their peak a tulip bulb was costing ten times the annual income of a skilled craftsman in Holland. The high prices added to the frenzy as more and more people tried to buy bulbs. An investment “bubble” occurred and as we all known bubbles burst. Tulips were bought to demonstrate wealth and to decorate the fancy rural estates of wealthy Dutch merchants. The intensity of a single colour flower was greatly appreciated. The tulip was new and novel in Europe. At its height of price one merchant offered 12 acres of land for a single tulip bulb of a variegated kind. It was these striped tulips that were most highly prized. These bulbs were named after Dutch generals and aristocrats. The prices boomed as traders signed contracts (futures trading) to buy bulbs at the end of the season after they had flowered. If prices rose in the meantime traders made big profits. Often no bulbs changed hands, just money on contracts and future contracts. At other times some bulbs were sold or traded up to ten times a day! Thus the boom took off and prices spiralled upwards. Price surges had occurred in 1621, 1630 and finally the big surge in 1635-6. Suddenly prices fell in February 1636. Some sellers reneged on contracts. Fortunes were lost by some traders and buyers. Bulbs that sold for 5,000 Dutch guilders a few weeks before were suddenly worth only 50 guilders! The situation was exacerbated by bubonic plague around Haarlem the main bulb growing district in 1636. The mania, as it was properly called, has been told in several books, novels and Dutch painters of the times often depicted tulip flowers. Recent historical research has indicated that only a limited number of traders and merchants engaged in this trade and the “bubble” had no great economic impact on the Netherlands, although it did affect some traders financially. The bursting of the bubble was mainly provoked by a new Dutch law in 1636 that would remove the obligation on traders to actually buy bulbs in the future even if they had signed contracts to do so. How amazing that a beautiful flower could set off a mania and that “value” could be so unrelated to the actual object- a short lived bulb!
There are plenty of baths in old Tbilisi, as there seem to be sulphur springs with healing properties.

🌍 #ReisenImKopf: In 80 Bildern um die Welt. 🌏 🌎 Die Straßen von San Francisco scheinen wie gemacht für steile Verfolgungsjagden: So lernten viele in der gleichnamigen TV-Serie mit Karl Malden und Michael Douglas als seinen Juniorpartner die kalifornische Stadt am Pazifik kennen. Ihre zahlreichen Hügeln, die steil vom Meer ansteigen, bieten eine sensationelle Kulisse, in legendären Filmen verewigt: Von Bullitt mit dem megacoolen Steve McQueen in seinem Ford Mustang, The Rock mit Sean Connery und Nicolas Cage, bis zum Peter Bogdanovich Film mit Barbara Streisand, What's Up, Doc? Auf Websites kann man die Fahrtrouten nachschauen und dann mit einem der lustigen gelben, gocart-artigen Autos nachfahren. Ein Highlight: Lombard Street, die steilste Straße der Stadt, die nur in zahlreichen S-Kurven gefahren werden kann. San Franciscos Flair ist aus den verschmolzenen Kulturen geprägt: Das Italienische im Viertel North Beach, die ewige Gegenkultur in Haight-Ashbury, China Town, die Latino-Einflüsse im Mission District, die reichen, vorwiegend weißen Snobs mit der besten Aussicht auf Nob Hill. Und natürlich die Kino-reife Kulisse der Gefängnisinsel Alcatraz: Eine exzellente Audio-Führung macht schnell klar, dass das Leben in dieser Verbannung ein überaus schlechter Film war. Abends am besten ab nach Yoshi's, dem Jazzclub mit Fusion Kitchen in Oakland (es gibt auch einen Ableger in San Francisco).
