Ce musée est installé dans l'ancien refuge de l'abbaye d'Orval, ainsi que dans quelques maisons praticiennes.
A reflecting pool-fountain transforms to skating ring in winter time, probably the best idea anybody had in City Hall. The reflecting/ skating pool was part of original design in 1962 (Viljo Revell). In recent years some ideas to 'improve' or transform the public square were not too successful. The best idea in years was to install the now iconic 'Toronto' sign, which was only supposed to be temporary. Of course, that was not original idea, Hollywood may have been first (1923).

Whiston Parish Church in Rotherham, England, dates back to the 12th century. Documented evidence from the year 1188 shows that a chapel on the current site was not only being built, but belonged to the Church at Ecclesfield, Sheffield; which in turn was shown to be a possession of the Benedictine Abbey of St Wandrille, at Fontenelle in Normandy, France.
In the early days of the church, Whiston was a larger parish than it is today, but it served a much smaller population (because Whiston was an entirely rural village rather than an enclosed suburb of Rotherham). This meant that the original building that was constructed during the Norman era was of a more modest size when compared to the larger structure of today.
Whiston is believed to have acquired Parish status in 1236 and the Revd Robert de Doncaster (spelt 'Danecastre') was installed as the first Rector. In circa 1250, the Church's distinctive tower was constructed and the present, south doorway was installed - replacing an earlier (Norman) west doorway as the main entrance to the building.
By the turn of the 15th century, the church had been serving the village well for 200 years. At some point during this century (the actual date is unverified), the church was extended eastwards to create a comparatively long chancel. Secondly, a north aisle featuring a low, sloping, roof was probably built at approximately the same time.
The next major change came in 1430 when the then-Rector, Rev. Robert Ragenhill died, leaving about 10 old English marks in his will for repairs to the church. As a result, two large south windows were installed. Furthermore, two of the present church bells were hung in the tower, although it is possible that this event happened later in the 15th Century and was not, therefore, a result of the bequest from Rev. Ragenhill. Finally, a third bell was hung in the church in 1636.
The Reverend Obadiah Browne was installed as Rector in 1689 and set about a refurbishment and general tidying-up of the church over the next few decades of his ministry as part of what became a larger period of generally ill-conceived updates to the building throughout the 18th and into the 19th Century.
Many projects took place to remove old pews and install new ones (1697); erect a gallery at the west end of the nave (1762); build a new pulpit (1764) and install a new organ plus box pews (1808). Most of these installations would later be removed again. In any case, all of this was work carried out on the building in its original guise.
By the 1880s, little maintenance work had been done for 50 years and the building was once again in need of restoration. Instead, it was decided to enlarge the church in order to futureproof it. At this time the Parish of Whiston was still a large one; and the population it served would surely grow with time. Such work would also serve as a memorial to the late Revd Howard, who served as Rector in Whiston for 40 years from 1841 until 1881. The church was closed for over one year whilst the work was carried out. It was reopened and rededicated on Thursday, 11th October 1883 by the Archbishop of York. The result is the building that we have today.

What a fab view to wake up to!
From the Nova Scotia Lighthouse Preservation Society
In 1859, William Earley supervised the construction of the Margaretsville Lighthouse, built by Sir Brenton Haliburton. The guiding light was installed in the following October and William became the first lightkeeper. Through the endeavours of Viva Moody of Margaretsville and Mrs. Maybelle Earley Warren of the USA, in 1985, the Canadian Coast Guard had a plaque installed on the lighthouse commemorating William's tenure as lightkeeper.
Larry and I did a short getaway to the Bay of Fundy area, and checked out the Grand-Pré National Historic Site. The park tells the story of the sad story of the Acadian expulsion from Atlantic Canada from 1755 to 1764.
The Church of Edward the Confessor
Situated in the Market Place, Romford, RM1 3AB. The earliest known house of worship was built in 1177 and was known as St Andrew’s Chapel. This building was demolished in the 14th century after many years of neglect. A new church was erected towards the end of the 14th century and completed in 1410. This was dedicated to The Virgin Mary and Edward the Confessor. Originally built with a Nave, a Chancel and extended North Aisle. It also featured a brick tower for five bells. Later a gallery was built for a charity for orphaned children. In 1710 it was renamed St Edward’s School and was later moved to another part of Market Place in 1728.
The church building was still in use but again fell into disrepair then work on a new church on the same site was started in 1844 and in 1849 the last service was held in the old church, then it was demolished. Only Blore’s chapel remained and was used as a burial yard until 1953, when this was also demolished.
The new building was consecrated in 1850 by Bishop of Rochester, George Murray. He was resident of Danbury Palace, Danbury, Essex. Architect John Johnson designed the church (he also designed Alexandra Palace). The church was designed in ‘Gothic Style’ and built from Kentish ragstone, it also used materials from John Nash’s in Regent Street. There are many carved heads situated in the church and this is thought to be the explanation of their being there.
It did suffer some war damage, but only minor. The biggest loss was the bells were used in the war effort and in 1944 a set of chime bells and an electric clock were installed.
Since then, major renovation work was completed in1988 and again in 1992. A new organ was installed in 1979 and in 2001 a statue of Edward the confessor was installed in the main porch.
Legend
There is a legend that the name Havering, a district close by to Romford, was named after a connection to Edward the Confessor and St John the apostle in the form of a ring. This was commemorated in a stain glass window of 1407, in the old chapel. I believe that this window does not exist now but a more modern one was installed in 1850 the 600th anniversary of the church.
This is the first of three postings.

Una splendida opera (a mio giudizio) collocata nel cortile di accesso alla villa. Sembra una scena teatrale con le quinte costituite dal colonnato del cortile. Anche le discutibili riparazioni del muro diventano involontariamente parte dell'installazione.
Ed's and my Plaza installed in front of Bluebonnet Station. Apologies to Ed
for how little I actually got of his contribution in the shot, it doesn't do it justice.

Longue chronique aujourd'hui. Pardonnez m'en. Prenez le temps d'examiner les images inédites dont vous trouverez dans le texte les liens, autrement non-accessibles.
De la belle et grande visite!
Dimanche dernier j’ai eu le grand plaisir d’accueillir et guider quelques-uns de mes amis Flickr provenant de Vancouver et Québec. Toutes et tous d’excellents photographes animés par la même passion, la photographie animalière. C’est en début d’avant-midi de cette journée idéale pour la photo, baignée par un mercure des plus cléments et sous un soleil à l’intensité parfaite que nous nous sommes retrouvé face au trous no 6 et 2... vides. Connaissant les habituels allées et venues de nos Petit-ducs, je ne m'en suis pas vraiment inquiété. Le moment était donc propice à prendre le temps de savourer les premiers instants de ces toutes premières rencontres sur le terrain avec ces amis jusqu’alors virtuels, amis que nous avons l’impression parfois de bien connaître de part les partages et échanges sur nos images qui illustrent si bien nos visions et nos émotions. Je rencontrais donc pour la toute première fois Pascale et Alberto et je retrouvais Sandra et Maxime . Pur plaisir. Nous étions fin prêts à débuter notre chasse photographique aux Petit-ducs d’Angrignon!
Devant ces trous vides nous avons pris la direction du secteur que fréquente Odi, l'autre femelle de forme grise du Parc, située un peu plus loin. Juste auparavant j’ai jeté un coup d’œil au trou no 5, situé quant à lui à l’opposé du 6 dans le même arbre. Merveilleux! Shannon, le rouquin, s’y trouvait de ce côté ombragé du grand hêtre. Heureux et émouvant moment pour toutes et tous. Un lifer pour trois de mes visiteurs... La tournée démarrait en force! Nous avons trouvé Odi un peu plus tard bien installée aux abords du no 9, là où elle nous présente toujours ses plus belles poses. Royale apparition! Au retour auprès de Shannon, une surprise de taille nous attendait, Shannon avait passé, en notre absence, du no 5 au no 2 placé avantageusement en plein soleil, mes convives et quelques-uns de mes amis réguliers du Parc, tel Robert Dupont et Christian Fritschi qui se sont joint à nous plus tard, pouvaient maintenant le capter dans les meilleures conditions. Un trou pas trop haut parfaitement libre de toutes branches lui permettant, tout comme le faisait Victor ces dernières années, d'avoir à l'oeil l'arbre où se repose sa douce. Comble de bonheur, nous avons justement retrouvé la belle Amandine, bien installée aux abords du minuscule trou no 6, alors bien exposé à la belle lumière matinale. La totale! Nos trois Petit-ducs maculés auront été généreux et présents ainsi toute la journée. Nombreux observateurs, promeneurs, randonneurs et photographes auront bénéficié de cette journée parfaite! Ce fut notamment le cas aussi pour de nombreux membres du Club des ornithologues de Châteauguay que j’ai eu aussi le plaisir de guider en après-midi. Une journée parfaite!
Ayant passé alors la journée entière auprès de nos Petit-ducs, j'ai été en mesure de les capter dans plusieurs poses moins habituelles. À venir dans mes prochaines chroniques.
Le lendemain matin, venus tôt au Parc, Sandra et Maxime ont fait l'étonnante observation de retrouver le couple en même temps au trou no 6. Cet orifice trop petit pour les apercevoir ensemble, ils ont pu capter Amandine et Shannon venus chacun à leur tour aux abords du trou. Comme nous sommes maintenant dans la période où la nichée peut débuter, ce sera peut-être là le lieu de la couvée 2018.
J'ai justement retrouvé Shannon hier matin, samedi, aux abords de ce trou no 6. Il y était encore à 17h. Après avoir allègrement lissé son plumage (voir l'image ici), Amandine l'a tiré au fond du trou afin de prendre, à son tour, un peu d'air et de bien se réveiller avant que tout deux, l'un après l'autre quittent la cavité afin de vivre leur nuitée de chasse. Voyez ici Amandine en train de se placer aux abords du trou tout juste après que Shannon l'eut intégré.
La présente image que je vous présente aujourd'hui a été prise avant hier, vendredi, Amandine était alors seule dans la cavité. Après avoir entendu à quelques reprises Shannon chanter non-loin dans un coin où je n'ai jamais encore localisé de trou, je l'ai trouvé sur une branche, très, très haute (près de deux fois plus haute que le trou no 7, déjà positionné tout en hauteur), installé au côté de ce qui semble être un nid d’écureuil aux feuilles de la même teinte que lui. Voyez-le ici, comme de raison, dû à la distance, l'image ayant subi un fort recadrage n'est pas de très bonne qualité. Mais elle illustre bien cette situation où le nouveau maître des lieux trône avec panache tout en surveillant le secteur où sa douce Amandine se repose et répond de tant à autres à ses chants répétés...
Vingt-et-un jets d’eau, éclairés par des projecteurs, ont été installés sur la Mayenne, en aval du pont Aristide Briand. Une première en France sur une rivière !
Profitant des écourues de la Mayenne, les travaux d’installation des jets d’eau ont débuté en septembre 2012 mais ont été interrompus suite aux fortes précipitations. Ils n'ont repris qu’un an plus tard, en septembre 2013.
La mise en eau officielle s’est effectuée le 16 novembre 2013

SBM Installer, a service vessel for oil rigs at sea, seen in the large port of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Canary Islands). Taken early morning before sunrise.
The clock is installed in a Renaissance arch crossing the Rue du Gros-Horloge. The mechanism is one of the oldest in France, the movement was made in 1389. Construction of the clock was started by Jourdain del Leche who lacked the necessary expertise to finish the task, so the work was completed by Jean de Felain, who became the first to hold the position of governor of the clock.
The clock was originally constructed without a dial, with one revolution of the hour-hand representing twenty-four hours. The movement is cast in wrought iron, and at approximately twice the size of the Wells Cathedral clock, it is perhaps the largest such mechanism still extant.[1] A facade was added in 1529 when the clock was moved to its current position. The mechanism was electrified in the 1920s and it was restored in 1997.
The Renaissance facade represents a golden sun with 24 rays on a starry blue background. The dial measures 2.5 metres in diameter. The phases of the moon are shown in the oculus of the upper part of the dial. It completes a full rotation in 29 days. The week days are shown in an opening at the base of the dial with allegorical subjects for each day of the week. (Wikipedia)
When the 'Seven Magic Mountains' artwork was first installed in 2016, the plan was that it should be removed after two years. However it has proved so popular that the Bureau of Land Management has extended its permit to the end of 2021.

En montant sur le haut d'Etretat, tout près du monument dédié à Ningesser et Coli. Un jardin créatif...
Avec un texte de présentation à retrouver sur le site:
"Le jardin Zen représente l’harmonie de l’union de l’humanité et de la nature. Les végétaux choisis sont uniquement des plantes à floraison blanche. Le spectateur éprouve une sensation de pureté virginale et de communion avec la nature. L’installation sonore du jardin reflète l’idée d’éveil du bien. Elle fait découvrir de nouveaux moyens d’appréhender le monde à travers l’art."
