I visited Galway in September and to say the least the weather was horrible as it rained most of the time making it very difficulty for me to take photograph the city. I visited Salthill twice on the second day and the weather was so bad that I had no option but to return to my hotel.
Eyre Square, also known as John F. Kennedy Memorial Park is an inner-city public park in Galway, Ireland. The park is within the city centre, adjoining the nearby shopping area of William Street and Shop Street.
A controversial and massively over-budget redevelopment of the square began in 2004. There was considerable unease in the city when it was reported that the original building contractors, Samuel Kingston Construction Ltd, had left the site and were not returning. After many long delays the square finally reopened on 13 April 2006 having astonishingly cost over €20 million to redevelop. Despite an unpopular reception by Galway locals, the finished square received the Irish Landscape Institute Design Award in 2007

- I have been living in this house until the age of 11 (1975-1986), I just realized that I left the house exactly when it turned 100 years. Since then I have only seen it very few times, but it is practically unchanged.
- He vivido en el tercer piso de esta casa hasta los 11 años de edad (1975-1986), he acabado de dar cuenta que lo he dejado exactamente en el centenario de su construcción. Desde entonces solamente he vuelto a verlo poquísimas veces; sigue de momento prácticamente igual.
ABOUT THE BUILDING / SOBRE EL EDIFICIO:
* Built in 1886-87
* Architect and constructor: Mór Kallina on request of György Mocsonyi.

(Many thanks to Elinor for localizing this key information!)
* In spite of the bad state of conservation I think it is a special building, not only due to its importance in my personal "inner mythological space" rather also with universal artistic values.
* Unfortunately it has currently no official protection although it is recommended.
* The overall design and most of the decorative elements are relatively sober, nevertheless if we look carefully it is full of small original details and it has a fortunate integrity of all the elements and materials.
* Worth noting the complete absence of figurative elements in the decoration, in spite of being pretty abundant in other buildings in the neighborhood.
* In line with the historicizing architecture of the epoch, the facade of this building could be called "neo-renaissance"; the above quoted documents calls the style simply "eclectic".
* Mór Kallina (1844-1913), of Austrian origin was one of the great architects of his time, among many other buildings he was one of the main collaborators in the Vigadó and was leading the construction of the Synagogue of the Rumbach Sebestyén (that was a project of his master)

(¡Mil gracias a Elinor por ayuda con localizar esta información clave!)
* A pesar de su mal estado de conservación se trata de un edificio singular, no solo como espacio fundamental en mi "mitología personal" sino también con valor artístico universal. * Desgraciadamente no goza de momento de ninguna protección oficial, aunque está recomendado.
* El diseño y la mayoría de los elementos decorativos son relativamente sobrio pero si nos fijamos esta llena de pequeñas detalles originales y el conjunto está muy cuidado en todos sus aspectos y materiales.
* Destaca la ausencia de elementos de figuras humanas en la decoración, aunque es algo común en muchos edificios del en los alrededores.
* En línea de la arquitectura historizante de la época la fachada de este edificio se podría clasificar como un especie de "neo-renacimiento", el documento arriba citado llama simplemente "ecléctico" al estilo.
* Mór Kallina (1844-1913) de origen austriaco, era uno de los grandes arquitectos del tiempo, entre muchas otras edificios uno de los colaboradores en el Vigadó y lideraba la construcción de la Sinagoga en la calle Rumbach Sebestyén (proyecto de su maestro)
As part of the show I was very proud of my The New Royal Crest of Arms piece. Timing is everything I guess as it seems even more relevant now with the IPCC and riot enquiries currently taking place.
At first glance the glass looks like a standard Royal Crest but on closer inspection the crest has been adapted to depict the London Riots of 2011 complete with a riot policeman and a hooded rioter. The etched glass was created in 6mm toughened and polished glass with holes in each corner for standoff wall fixings. It measures 760mm x 520mm and it contains some of the finest etched glass detail the glass studio has ever created. Edition of 10, 4 still available for sale from London West Bank.

Brief History of the Apparitions of Our Lady of Guadalupe
The well authenticated story of the five apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary is briefly related here:
1st Apparition: At dawn on December 9, 1531, Juan Diego, an Indian convert, was going to Tlatelolco to attend catechism class and hear the Mass. As he was passing Tepeyac Hill, he saw a brilliant light on the summit and heard the strains of celestial music. Filled with wonder, he stopped. Then he heard a feminine voice asking him to ascend. When he reached the top he saw the Blessed Virgin Mary standing in the midst of a glorious light, in heavenly splendor. The beauty of her youthful countenance and her look of loving kindness filled Juan Diego with unspeakable happiness as he listened to the words which she spoke to him in his native language. She told him she was the perfect and eternal Virgin Mary, Mother of the true God, and made known to him her desire that a shrine be built there where she could demonstrate her love, her compassion and her protection. "For I am your merciful Mother", she said, "to you and to all mankind who love me and trust in me and invoke my help. Therefore, go to the dwelling of the Bishop in Mexico City and say that the Virgin Mary sent you to make known to him her great desire."
2nd Apparition: The Bishop was reluctant to believe Juan Diego's story. Juan returned to Tepeyac Hill where he found the Blessed Virgin waiting for him, and told her of his failure. She bade him return to the Bishop the next day and repeat her wishes.
3rd Apparition: The Bishop then requested that the Lady give him a sign. Juan reported that evening and she promised to grant his petition on the following morning. But Juan was prevented from coming because of a sudden and severe illness of his uncle, Juan Bernardino.
4th Apparition: Two days later, on December 12, as he was going to the Church at Tlatelolco in order to bring a priest to his dying uncle, Juan Diego was stopped by the Lady, who had come down from Tepeyac Hill to meet him in the road. She listened quietly to Juan's excuse for not having kept his appointment with her the day before. When he had finished speaking she said, "It is well, littlest and dearest of my sons, but now listen to me. Do not let anything afflict you and be not afraid of illness or pain. Am I not here who am your Mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection? Are you not in the crossing of my arms? Is there anything else you need? Do not fear for your uncle for he is not going to die. Be assured... he is already well."
Having heard these words, Juan Diego rejoiced and asked for the sign he was to take to the Bishop. He was told to climb to the top of the hill where she had spoken to him on three previous occasions. She said he would find many flowers blooming there which he was to cut and bring to her. Juan Diego did as he was told though he knew no flowers had ever bloomed before on the stony summit. He discovered a marvelous garden of dew-fresh blossoms which he cut as she had asked. Placing them in his rough cloak, or tilma, he brought the flowers to the Lady who rearranged them and told him to take them to the Bishop; that this was the sign to persuade him to carry out her wishes.

The Botanical Garden of the University of Vienna (Hortus Botanicus Vindobonensis, HBV) is a botanical garden that was established in 1754 in the 3rd Viennese district Landstraße.
The Botanical Garden is a facility of the Faculty of Life Sciences at the University of Vienna. It is approximately 8 acres and is home to about 9,500 species. The tasks of the Botanical Garden include university research and teaching, the conservation of endangered plant species and seed and plant exchange with other institutions. A large part of the garden, adjacent to the Belvedere gardens is open to the public and serves as a recreational area.
History
The Botanical Garden was founded in 1754 as a "Hortus Medicus" (Medizinalpflanzengarten) on 1 ha. To this end, Maria Theresa - at the suggestion of her personal physician, Gerard van Swieten - had bought at Rennweg a 2-hectare estate. The order for the planning and design got Robert Laugier (1722-1793), who was since 1749 in Vienna. After having taken place the acquisition of the property, Laugier became first garden director (a position he held from 1754 until his retirement in 1768) as well as first chair holder of botany and chemistry, chairs that had been created afresh.
It subsequently evolved into a scientifically oriented botanical garden, the plants were arranged according to the Linnaean system (Linnaean taxonomy). Laugier's successor as director was Nicholas Joseph von Jacquin (Director 1768-1796). At that time the garden was home for about 8,000 species, the area was increased to approximately 7.8 acres. Jacquin's son Joseph Franz von Jacquin became his successor as director (1796-1839).
From 1841 on, the open land following the English garden style according to the system of Stephan Ladislaus Endlicher, who was director from 1839 to 1849, was redesigned. It had been layed out an officinal department with 196 beds. 1844 the Botanical Museum was built. Head gardener Joseph Diefenbach continued the redevelopment of the gardens in the sense of Endlicher. Director from 1849 to 1879 was Edward Schimmer. At this time the to European Botanic Gardens new concept of the phytogeographical groups was developed .
From 1883 to 1890, the Jacquingasse was created whereby the garden area was reduced to about 6 ha. 1890-1893 was built by director Anton Kerner von Marilaun (1878-1898) the greenhouse plant with tropical house. 1904/ 05 followed the new construction of the Botanical Institute and laying out of the biological groups.
1930, the Botanical Garden was to the so-called Host'schen garden at the southern end extended (formerly private garden of the Hapsburgs), as a result the garden reached its present size of approximately 8 ha. The adjacent Alpine Garden remained with the Belvedere gardens. Director from 1899-1931 was from Richard Wettstein. At the beginning of the 40s under director Fritz Knoll (1931-1945) the Alpine Garden was recreated in its current area.
Due to bomb damages during the Second World War (more than 40 hits), the demolition of the Botanical Museum and the felling of about 200 trees was necessary. Up to the 1970s under director Lothar Geitler (1945-1969) took place the removal of war damages and the reconstruction of the collections.
1970 the Host'sche garden was opened to visitors. 1975 began the general refurbishment of the institute building (until 1992) and the greenhouses, Director 1970-1995 was Frederick Ehrendorfer. In the 80s, the experimental house were built and created new experimental areas. In 1991, the Association of the Friends of the Botanical Garden was founded.
From 1995 on, the rehabilitation of the greenhouses was continued and the tropical house opend to the public. The Canaries group was built and expanded the group of the Austrian flora. Michael Hesse (1995-1997) was followed by Tod Stuessy (1995-2005) as director, since January 2006, Michael Kiehn is director of the botanical garden.

c1910 postcard view of the F. C. Richardson house in Cayuga, Indiana. This wood frame house stood on the northeast corner at the intersection of Thompson and Logan Streets. This view was looking northeast from the street or possibly from across the intersection. A porch swing and rocking chairs were on the porch. The house is shown in both the 1906 and 1913 Sanborn™ fire insurance map sets.

The most dominant element of the lobby is the mural that spans the width of the entrance wall and rises with the stairwell to the second floor's ceiling.
It was painted by John F. Holmer, who wove both political and playful messages into it. Though depicting a festive fair and carnival scene at Old Coney Island, the people in the mural are strangely sober, almost submissive. Hunched backs, averted faces, and somber expressions populate the cavnvas.
In the original rendering, each man in the mural also sported a Hitler-esque moustache. Whatever social commentary the German-born Holmer intended was eliminated when the building's original owners demanded a change; the painted-over sections above the men's lips are, however, still visible.

“On the 31 August 2018, the Council of the University of Newcastle (Australia) resolved to revoke the honorary Master of Arts degree awarded to Father Peter Brock in 1987 and also the 1989 Newton-John Alumni Award that was awarded to Father Brock in 1990, in response to a complaint following the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle acknowledgment in September 2017 that Father Brock was the subject of substantiated abuse claims. The church report found he “engaged in a range and pattern of behaviours” and that “That range and pattern of behaviour constituted sexual misconduct as defined by the NSW Ombudsman Act 1974,” Father Brock’s name has been removed from a list of Newton-John award recipients since 1977 who have achieved excellence in arts, creative sectors and culture. Through this action, The University of Newcastle recognises the distress caused to victims and survivors of institutional child sexual abuse, and their families, and seeks to acknowledge and respect their wishes.”

Samarkand is a city in southeastern Uzbekistan and among the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Central Asia. Samarkand is the capital of the Samarkand Region and a district-level city, that includes the urban-type settlements Kimyogarlar, Farhod and Khishrav. With 551,700 inhabitants (2021)] it is the third-largest city in Uzbekistan.
There is evidence of human activity in the area of the city dating from the late Paleolithic Era. Though there is no direct evidence of when Samarkand was founded, several theories propose that it was founded between the 8th and 7th centuries BC. Prospering from its location on the Silk Road between China, Persia and Europe, at times Samarkand was one of the largest cities in Central Asia, and was an important city of the empires of Greater Iran. By the time of the Persian Achaemenid Empire, it was the capital of the Sogdian satrapy. The city was conquered by Alexander the Great in 329 BC, when it was known as Markanda, which was rendered in Greek as Μαράκανδα. The city was ruled by a succession of Iranian and Turkic rulers until it was conquered by the Mongols under Genghis Khan in 1220.
The city is noted as a centre of Islamic scholarly study and the birthplace of the Timurid Renaissance. In the 14th century, Timur made it the capital of his empire and the site of his mausoleum, the Gur-e Amir. The Bibi-Khanym Mosque, rebuilt during the Soviet era, remains one of the city's most notable landmarks. Samarkand's Registan square was the city's ancient centre and is bounded by three monumental religious buildings. The city has carefully preserved the traditions of ancient crafts: embroidery, goldwork, silk weaving, copper engraving, ceramics, wood carving, and wood painting. In 2001, UNESCO added the city to its World Heritage List as Samarkand – Crossroads of Cultures.
Modern Samarkand is divided into two parts: the old city, which includes historical monuments, shops, and old private houses; and the new city, which was developed during the days of the Russian Empire and Soviet Union and includes administrative buildings along with cultural centres and educational institutions. On 15 and 16 September 2022, the city hosted the 2022 SCO summit.
Samarkand has a multicultural and plurilingual history that was significantly modified by the process of national delimitation in Central Asia. Many inhabitants of the city are native or bilingual speakers of the Tajik language, whereas Uzbek is the official language and Russian is also widely used in the public sphere, as per Uzbekistan's language policy.

Margaret of Austria, daughter of Emperor Maximilian I, was betrothed at the age of three to the infant Charles VIII of France. She is shown here at age ten, one year before she was repudiated by her intended husband. The elaborate pendant of a pelican piercing its breast to feed its young (its blood represented by the large hanging ruby), a symbol of Christian charity, alludes to the sitter's piety. The portrait was the left wing of a diptych; the right wing is now lost.
52 of 2014 - Week # 29 - On the Wall
I had fun this week, despite having no idea WHAT the heck to shoot for the theme. So I used my handy dandy phone and shot anything and everything on a wall anywhere all week. This is my favorite shot of the week, taken last night when we went out for our pal's birthday. This is the wall of The Majestic, a classic movie themed restaurant with really excellent food and STRONG drinks!

The Temple of Tolerance, located in Wapakoneta, Ohio. It was created over 18 years by the temple master Jim Bowsher in his backyard which is actually the entire center of the block, roughly equal to about two dozen Wapakoneta back yards. The rocks have come from various locations, and include items such as a slab from a bank counter that robber John Dillinger leapt over and the front step of the former Ku Klux Klan headquarters in Wapakoneta, which he encourages black people to sit on so it can be liberated. He also has photographed every rock individually and has cross referenced them. It was built as a retreat where people could feel accepted. He claims it has helped cure dysfunctions in the lives of its visitors.
