Ces filtres d'orient qui parfument le désert
Un mélange de fibres où l’or se mêle au vert
Comme dans un moule ou le miel blond et la semoule
Enferme des éclats d’amandes et de pistaches
Comme on voit le nombril des danseuses orientales
Qui dansent au son d’une musique instrumentale
Se mettre en mouvement pour vous faire chavirer
Cette tapisserie de brins tissés aux riches couleurs
De l’orient s’anime et fait chanter les vers
Comme un rideau de perles fines au bras du vent
Glastonbury Abbey was a monastery in Glastonbury, Somerset, England. Its ruins, a grade I listed building and scheduled ancient monument, are open as a visitor attraction.
The abbey was founded in the 7th century and enlarged in the 10th. It was destroyed by a major fire in 1184 but subsequently rebuilt and by the 14th century was one of the richest and most powerful monasteries in England. The abbey controlled large tracts of surrounding land and was instrumental in major drainage projects on the Somerset Levels. The abbey was suppressed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under King Henry VIII of England. The last abbot, Richard Whiting (Whyting), was hanged, drawn and quartered as a traitor on Glastonbury Tor in 1539.
Castle Campbell was originally known as Castle Gloom, possibly deriving from the Scottish Gaelic: glom, meaning a chasm, and referring to the narrow gorges to either side of the site. The naturally defended position may have been the site of a motte in the 12th century. The present tower was built in around 1430 for John Stewart, Lord Lorne (d.1463), or one of his kinsmen. About 1460, the property was acquired by Colin Campbell, 1st Earl of Argyll (d.1493), on his marriage to Isabel Stewart, Lord Lorne's daughter. The first historical record of the castle dates from the following year, when Pope Paul II issued a bull against Walter Stewart, son of Lord Lorne, for attacking and damaging the "Place of Glowm". Campbell, who was at the papal court at the time, may have been instrumental in arranging the Pope's intervention. The tower shows signs of early rebuilding following this episode.
The acquisition of Castle Gloom expanded the power of the Campbell family, from Argyll in the west into central Scotland, and suited Colin Campbell's position as Master of the Household to King James III of Scotland, which required his frequent presence at court. In February 1490, Campbell petitioned the newly crowned King, James IV of Scotland, to formally change the name of Gloom to "Castle Campbell", and this was done by an act of parliament. The change in name may imply that the term "castle" was seen as particularly prestigious, requiring royal approval for its use. At this time, the castle would have comprised the tower house, with other buildings arranged around the courtyard and gardens outside. The east range was probably added first, and some time after the accession of the 2nd Earl in 1493, the large south range was begun. This building shows the influence of the contemporary works at Stirling Castle, now known as the King's Old Building. It included a state apartment of hall, outer chamber and bedchamber, with large south-facing windows overlooking the gardens, and a view across the Devon Valley. The range also provided additional private lodgings, and was accessed via two symmetrically placed stairways facing the courtyard.

L'église Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois est une église catholique située dans le 1er arrondissement de Paris. Elle fut également appelée église Saint-Germain-le-Rond. Depuis l'Ancien Régime, elle est connue comme la « paroisse des artistes ».
L'orgue actuel fut transporté en juillet 1791 depuis la Sainte-Chapelle, où il avait été construit vingt ans auparavant par François-Henri Clicquot, dans un buffet dessiné par Pierre-Noël Rousset
Cette attribution n'est pas sans poser quelques interrogations : d'une part, les dimensions du grand buffet de Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois laissent difficilement imaginer son intégration dans la Sainte-Chapelle ; d'autre part, son vocabulaire décoratif néo-classique et son mouvement concave, sans véritable tourelle autre que les tourelles latérales, semblent très modernes pour la date du dessin de Rousset (1752). Enfin, du matériel instrumental fut également récupéré de l'École militaire et de la collégiale Saint-Honoré.

Memorial concept and design by Ben Langlands & Nikki Bell, 2016.
As the visionary Managing Director of London Underground in the 1920s and Vice Chairman of the newly created London Transport from 1933 - 40, Frank Pick was instrumental in establishing the most progressive and modern public transport system in the world.
Frank Pick planned the expansion of the bus and underground network and commissioned the leading architects, artists and designers of the time to shape every aspect of the passenger experience. “London Transport”, he said, “is or will be a work of art”. From the classic station designs by Charles Holden, to the range of memorable travel posters, from the adoption of the famous Roundel, one of London’s most recognisable symbols, to the introduction of Harry Beck’s iconic map, and the commissioning of Edward Johnston’s type-face still in use today, everything was considered by Pick.
Frank Pick’s own words above, taken by Langlands & Bell from his lecture notes in the Transport for London archive, demonstrate his conviction that good design contributes decisively to the quality of city life.

Piano Through Glass!
This is SOOC with no cropping or software modification whatsoever. I considered cropping the right side of the image where the power outlet is but decided that maintaining the reflection continuity of the trees, lights and buildings off of the painting on the wall was more definitive.
This piano is on display for sale in a store in Winter Park, Fl. The shot was taken from the outside through the glass window showing the reflection of the building behind me and across the street. It's also showing trees and shrubs on the other side of the street as well as sunlight reflections shining directly off of the piano..

SAVE VENICE has been instrumental in refurbishing the church over a decade.
www.savevenice.org/project/church-of-san-sebastiano
The Chiesa di San Sebastiano is a 16th-century church located in the Dorsoduro sestiere of the Italian city of Venice. The church houses a cycle of paintings by the artist Paolo Veronese, as well as paintings by Tintoretto and Titian.
San Sebastiano is located on the site of a former hospice which was founded by the confraternity of Gerolimine fathers in 1393. Close to the hospice was an Oratory, built in 1396, and dedicated to Santa Maria Full of Grace and Justice. This was later expanded, and in 1468 was converted into a church dedicated to Saint Sebastian the martyr who was one of the chief patrons against plague and pestilence in Europe. The church is therefore regarded as one of the great Plague-Churches of Venice, built to temper divine punishment, as the plague was viewed in the Middle Ages.
Following a commission by Brother Bernardo Torlioni, the Verona-born painter Paolo Veronese spent three periods between 1555 and 1570 decorating various parts of the interior of San Sebastiano. This included paintings, ceiling canvases and frescoes on the nave and altar walls. Veronese also decorated parts of the sacristy and choir, as well as completing the organ decorations and a large altar piece.

The Western and Atlantic 12 the Texas, debuting on the turntable after restoration. Built by Danforth, Cooke and Company in Patterson, NJ. Put into Service in October of 1856. Instrumental in the final capture of the General.
Perhaps the words are few that might enhance the experience here, an April sunrise instrumental in FDL tone sufficing, like a memory from our youth, the last notes of “Wichita Lineman” gently strumming our heartstrings in grainy AM from the old box radio atop the bookshelf.
They’re but a few miles out of Wellington, saddled up and rolling fast across the fields of Kansas, heading home to Amarillo in one helluva hurry. If the traffic is light, and if all the plans of mice and men don’t fall through, they might make it by the end of the morning.
Most likely not.
This IS railroading, after all.
Les grandes orgues. Elles sont dues à Louis-Alexandre Clicquot (1684-1760) et à son fils François-Henri (1732-1790). De par la volonté de son auteur, le grand buffet, en chêne sculpté, s'adapte à toute la largeur de la voûte. Atlantes et amours viennent embellir l'instrument. L'orgue a été restauré plusieurs fois au XIXe siècle. En 1861, Aristide Cavaillé-Coll l'a modernisé en lui ajoutant neuf jeux. A la fin du XXe siècle, on a tenté de retrouver l'œuvre de Cliquot tout en conservant l'apport du XIXe. Le buffet a été classé monument historique en 1903, la partie instrumentale l'a été en 1961.
