Cape Breton Island takes its name from its easternmost point, Cape Breton. At least two theories for this name have been put forward. The first connects it to the Bretons of northwestern France which discovered Canada. A Portuguese mappa mundi of 1516–1520 includes the label "terra q(ue) foy descuberta por Bertomes" in the vicinity of the Gulf of St Lawrence, which means "land discovered by Bretons".
The second connects it to the Gascon fishing port of Capbreton. Basque whalers and fishermen traded with the Miꞌkmaq of this island from the early sixteenth century.
The name "Cape Breton" first appears on a map of 1516, as C(abo) dos Bretoes, and became the general name for both the island and the cape toward the end of the 16th century.
William Francis Ganong argued that the Portuguese term Bertomes referred to Britons, and that the name should be interpreted as "Cape of the English". This theory is nowadays disagreed upon, due to the Portuguese etymology of Bertomes, meaning the Brittonic speaking people of Wales, Cornwall, Brittany and Galicia, who has close ties to Portugal.

Las ruinas de las abandonadas instalaciones de las minas de Mazarrón (Murcia) me sirvieron para representar una nueva"vanitas" industrial, con toda cuanta atmósfera plenamente postapocalíptica emana de ese paraje.

Amsterdam - Pedro de Medina laan.
Office building The XXX's.
Pedro de Medina (1493 – Seville, 1567) was a Spanish cartographer and author of navigational texts.
Medina's Suma de cosmographia ("Compendium of Cosmography"), is a folio-size manuscript on parchment which includes a fine mappa mundi on a double-page spread, illuminated in red, blue, green, sienna, and gold. It represents the known world and reflects the state of geographic knowledge in Spain and Portugal at that time (Wp).

Happy Windows Wednesday :-)
This is what Hereford's Mappa Mundi (around 1300) tells the reader (in Anglo-Norman French) - on your way through life, with all its uncertainties and monsters and finally death, "go beyond" or "keep walking". You have got this life, use it.
We bought this rose last year and this year its exceeded all expectations. I think it has to be my favourite rose.
A lovely set, fit for any occasion, Salvator Mundi looks very much like a set any queen would have worn in the 16th century. Crosses filled with jewels and hung with pearls, this set will make any woman who wears it look like royalty.

O Panie, chciałem wyosobnić siebie,
A dzisiaj jestem jako kamień w glebie.
Czylim nie głupi był chcąc być jedyny,
Gdy jest jedyny liść każdej rośliny?
Panie, co trawą objawiasz się polną,
Czy mnie za Tobą objawiać się wolno?
W najotchłanniejszej, najgłębszej potrzebie,
Nie chcąc być drugim, ja wzywałem... Ciebie.
Kiedy mnie zbrudził męt życia plugawy,
Ja, jak wśród braci, kładłem się wśród trawy.
Chciałem mieć własne drogi, obcym wrogi;
A czy Ty zwracasz którąś z gwiazd z jej drogi?
Chciałem się dumnie wyodrębnić, Panie,
A drżę, gdy spadnie włos, co mi odstanie.
Pragnąłem w pysze być sam jeden sobie,
A drżę, gdy myślę, ze sam legnę w grobie.
l cóż ja umiem i w czym jestem krzepszym,
Jeśli nie umiem się czuć pierwszym lepszym?
Gdy mówi do mnie dziecię lat dwunastu,
Ja się przyglądam jak obcemu miastu.
Kiedy kobieta mówi - (o, poeto!) -
Czyż ci nie wstydno nie czuć się kobietą?
Czyliż nie byłem jak najciaśniej ciasny
Dla własnej duszy, gdym chciał być swój własny?
Do tego doszło Panie, że gdy widzę
Oczy błędnego psa, wstydzę się, ach wstydzę!
Bo gdy nic z jego ócz poznać nie umiem,
Jak siebie, wszechświat i Boga zrozumiem?!
Leopold Staff, Tajemnice
Everyone who has ever built anywhere a 'new heaven' first found the power thereto in his own hell.
