Alhóndiga: Se construyó como pósito (almacén de trigo) y casa de contratación que canalizaba la intensa actividad comercial desde mediados del siglo XVI, hasta que en 1719 se transformó en la cárcel del partido, siendo rey Felipe V. Resulta curioso el gran número de grabados realizados por los presos sobre la piedra en pareces y columnas. El patio es rectangular, y se encuentra abierto con dos y tres vanos de medio punto sobre gruesos pilares cilíndricos con capiteles toscanos. En la actualidad alberga la Casa de Cultura y Biblioteca Municipal.

Our exceptionally mild northland winter is giving way to spring, embryonic buds are beginning to appear on the trees and the modest mounds of snow from our singular significant snowfall are melting away leaving behind some nice reflecting pools around the yard in Proctor. 2/3 of a Bessemer set has been assembled by the shop forces and will enter the ore pool shortly. Things are looking up!

Though it resembles a peaceful rose swirling in the darkness of the cosmos, NGC 3256 is actually the site of a violent clash. This distorted galaxy is the relic of a collision between two spiral galaxies, estimated to have occurred 500 million years ago. Today it is still reeling in the aftermath of this event.
Located about 100 million light-years away in the constellation of Vela (The Sails), NGC 3256 is approximately the same size as our Milky Way and belongs to the Hydra-Centaurus Supercluster. It still bears the marks of its tumultuous past in the extended luminous tails that sprawl out around the galaxy, thought to have formed 500 million years ago during the initial encounter between the two galaxies, which today form NGC 3256. These tails are studded with young blue stars, which were born in the frantic but fertile collision of gas and dust.
When two galaxies merge, individual stars rarely collide because they are separated by such enormous distances, but the gas and dust of the galaxies do interact – with spectacular results. The brightness blooming in the centre of NGC 3256 gives away its status as a powerful starburst galaxy, host to vast amounts of infant stars born into groups and clusters. These stars shine most brightly in the far infrared, making NGC 3256 exceedingly luminous in this wavelength domain. Because of this radiation, it is classified as a Luminous Infrared Galaxy.
NGC 3256 has been the subject of much study due to its luminosity, its proximity, and its orientation: astronomers observe its face-on orientation, that shows the disc in all its splendour. NGC 3256 provides an ideal target to investigate starbursts that have been triggered by galaxy mergers. It holds particular promise to further our understanding of the properties of young star clusters in tidal tails.
As well as being lit up by over 1000 bright star clusters, the central region of NGC 3256 is also home to crisscrossing threads of dark dust and a large disc of molecular gas spinning around two distinct nuclei – the relics of the two original galaxies. One nucleus is largely obscured, only unveiled in infrared, radio and X-ray wavelengths.
These two initial galaxies were gas-rich and had similar masses, as they seem to be exerting roughly equal influence on each other. Their spiral disks are no longer distinct, and in a few hundred million years' time, their nuclei will also merge and the two galaxies will likely become united as a large elliptical galaxy.
NGC 3256 was previously imaged through fewer filters by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope as part of a large collection of 59 images of merging galaxies, released for Hubble's 18th anniversary on 24 April 2008.

Fotografia presa amb una càmera Rolleiflex Automat (RF 111A), fabricada el 1938; Ilford HP5+ 400 revelat amb HC110. Aquesta càmera és contemporanea amb Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Una de les zones més vistes i terribles de Birkenau és la plataforma de les vies, la "Judenrampe", on els SS decidien qui vivia i qui moria entre els desgraciats acabats d'arribar en tren al camp. Les conegudes "seleccions". Tots els infants, ancians, malalts, ferits etc andaven directament cap al final de les vies, cap a les càmeres de gas. Els "supervivents" (destinats a treballar fins a morir, sovint en setmanes), eren enviats a la "Centralsauna", l'edifici d'arribades del camp. Poca gent sap que els trens només entraren dins Birkenau a partir de maig de 1944. Anteriorment la via no hi arribava, i els descarregaven uns 2 km enfora, a la "Alte Judenrampe".
Auschwitz. Què més puc dir més enllà d’aquest toponim en alemany d’una vila polonesa. Tots ja sabeu què fou, de 1940 a 1945. Aquí es creà un camp de concentració per la explotació salvatge i mortal dels enemics del III Reich. Però sobretot a partir de 1943 i a la seva extensió (i futur camp independent) de Birkenau: l’extermini dels jueus europeus a nivell industrial.
Birkenau, o Auschwitz II, fou la expansió massiva del camp original (després conegut com Auschwitz I) a partir de 1942, inicialment amb el proposit d'explotar l'influx massiu de presoners de guerra sovietics, però que aviat va canviar cap a camp d'extermini per als jueus europeus, francesos, holandesos, grecs i sobretot, polonesos i hongaresos. Les cambres de gas de Birkenau començaren a funcionar el març de 1942 i no pararen fins octubre de 1944. Finalment, el camp fou alliberat el 21 de gener de 1945. Els nazis hi assassinaren més de 1.300.000 persones, la gran majoria just baixar dels trens, i la gran majoria, jueus...

=====================================
Picture taken with a Rolleiflex Automat camera (RF 111A), manufactured in 1938; Ilford HP5+ 400 film developed in HC110. This camera is of the same era than Auschwitz-Birkenau itself.
One of the most visible and terrible areas of Birkenau is the platform between the tracks, the "Judenrampe", where the SS decided who lived and who died among the unfortunates who had just arrived by train in the camp. The well-known "selections". All the children, the elderly, the sick, the wounded, etc. went straight to the end of the tracks, to the gas chambers. The "survivors" (destined to work until death, often within weeks), were sent to the "Centralsauna", the camp's arrivals building. Note that the trains only entered the camp from May 1944 till October, more or less. Before that, there was to track, and since 1942 the trains stoped a couple of km outside, on the "Alte Judenrampe".
Auschwitz. What else can I say beyond this toponym in German of a Polish town. You all know what it was, from 1940 to 1945. Here a concentration camp was created for the savage and deadly exploitation of the enemies of the Third Reich. But especially from 1943 and in its extension (and future independent camp) of Auschwitz II - Birkenau. The extermination of European Jews at an industrial level.
Birkenau, or Auschwitz II, was the massive expansion of the original camp (later known as Auschwitz I) from 1942, initially with the purpose of exploiting the massive influx of Soviet prisoners of war, but which soon changed to a camp of extermination for the European Jews, French, Dutch, Greek and above all, Polish and Hungarian. The Birkenau gas chambers began operating in March 1942 and did not stop until October 1944. Finally, the camp was liberated on January 21, 1945. The Nazis murdered more than 1,300,000 people there, the vast majority just of the trains, and the great majority, Jews...

El castillo templario se emplaza en lo que, probablemente, en origen fue un castro celta, en una posición similar a la de otros de El Bierzo. Posteriormente se cree que fue un emplazamiento romano y visigodo.
Es de estilo románico. Hacia 1178 el rey Fernando II de León permitió que los templarios establecieran una encomienda en la actual Ponferrada. En 1180 el rey expidió un fuero para la repoblación de la villa que había surgido un siglo antes, documentándose la primera fortificación hacia 1187.
En 1196, ante el ataque de Alfonso VIII de Castilla y debido al apoyo que recibió este reino por parte de los caballeros del Temple, Alfonso IX de León, corona a la que apoya la orden de San Juan quita Ponferrada a los templarios. Tras varias disputas, en 1211 Alfonso IX, hace las paces con la Orden del Temple les donó la villa de Ponferrada a cambio de ceder a estos algunos castillos. Durante el reinado de Fernando IV se produjo en Francia el juicio contra los templarios, que ocasionó la disolución de la Orden. Para evitar la consiguiente confiscación de Ponferrada, el maestre leonés del Temple, Rodrigo Yánez, entregó la villa al infante don Felipe, hermano del rey.
En 1340, Alfonso XI donó Ponferrada a Pedro Fernández de Castro,(El de la Guerra), su mayordomo mayor, quien seguramente comenzó la construcción del llamado castillo viejo de Ponferrada. Ponferrada y su castillo continuaron en poder de la rama gallega de los Castro hasta 1374. A partir de ese año permaneció en poder de diversos y sucesivos miembros de la familia real.
En 1440, Ponferrada pasó a Pedro Álvarez Osorio, primer conde de Lemos, que venía reclamándolo desde hacía tiempo. Fue este importante personaje gallego del siglo xv quien realizó las grandes obras que configuran la actual fortaleza de Ponferrada, que comprende: un castillo, el llamado Castillo Viejo, un recinto amurallado con sus barreras y un palacio renacentista.
