In 1500, Cardinal Diego Hurtado de Mendoza ordered the original chapel to be enlarged for burial, since the great devotion that the Virgin of Antigua had among the Sevillians well deserved the largest chapel of those considered minor chapels. The fresco of the Virgin of Antigua, which presides over the marble altarpiece by José Fernández de Iglesias with sculptures by Pedro Duque Cornejo (half S.XVIII). There is a legend that explains the name of this Virgin but the reality she is not so old, she dates from the time when the mosque was used as a Christian temple (14th century). The goldsmith’s crown was added in 1929 for her canonical coronation. The paintings, which iconographically represent the history of the Virgin of Antigua, as well as the saints and some landscapes, are works by Domingo Martínez (first half of the 18th century). Also noteworthy are the tombs of Cardinal Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, in Renaissance style, made by Doménico Fancelli (early 16th century) and that of Archbishop Luis Salcedo y Azcona, made by Pedro Duque Cornejo (mid 18th century) and inspired by the Renaissance one. Stained glass windows: San Fernando, designed by José Gestoso (19th century).
Ordered this honey a few days ago and it came today. I thought I would showcase the honey with the heavy bearding from the MobLand Hive in the background.
I LOVE to wrap! This year I ordered some adorable tape measures which are coming in handy as I go the extra mile to include something unique with my calendar cases!
I've met my match when it comes to detail!
I ordered a Triple Venti, Half Sweet, Non-Fat, Caramel Macchiato on Coconut Milk with an Extra Shot and 2% Foam at no more than 90 degrees..... and this is a Flat White.
We both ordered the signature drink for November. Since we missed it last month, the bartender kindly prepared it for us in December. It's called an Apple Royale, and it's absolutely delightful! However, it can be a bit too tempting; I could easily consume several of these without even noticing the alcohol content. Unfortunately, this drink can't be made at home because some of the ingredients are made locally by the owner who did not wish to share his recipe! So it is not available in stores. I suppose I'll have to savor this drink once a year during the winter, assuming they offer it again next year! Fingers crossed!

The ability to step off a concrete sidewalk and enter a public garden is just what the doctor ordered. So often in our attempts to meet deadlines and take care of others, we forget to take care of ourselves.
Nature helps us slow down and pay attention to the one's surroundings.
The last biplane fighter to enter service with the RAF in the late 1930s, the Gloster Gladiator was already obsolescent and ordered as a stop gap in case of delays to the much more capable Spitfires and Hurricanes then in development.
The Gladiator had a very sprightly performance for a biplane, and despite being so outdated, many hundreds were built and saw much service during WW2 with a wide variety of Air Forces. They generally acquitted themselves surprisingly well - notably in the defence of Malta, where they attained a legendary status. A myth formed that three Gladiators, respectively named Faith, Hope and Charity, provided the Island's entire air cover during the Siege of Malta in 1940. It's not entirely true, but a good story is better than the reality!
One of only two remaining airworthy, this example is owned by The Shuttleworth Collection and seen here displaying at its home base of Old Warden.
After the trailing SD70ACe could no longer pump air, and the trailing GE was already bad ordered, the thinking heads in Adams made the decision to attach an SD40N to the front of the daily MALPR. Fortunately, a 0200 departure from Adams ensured that the train would be in daylight down in my neck of the woods. While I didn’t wake up until it was already out of Butler, I was able to make it to the searchlight signal at Bain, WI, on the north side of Kenosha.
Growing up along the Kenosha Sub, I was no stranger to seeing ATS pilots leading the foreign coal trains; but they had unfortunately disappeared when PTC was activated, and that was before I knew what I was doing as a photographer. While this is the Milwaukee Sub (a line that never had ATS), and a manifest, rather than an Oak Creek coal (or a Harvard grain, which I also never got), it was still nice to catch this as a throwback to my childhood.
I only wish I could go back and shoot more of the coal trains.
After the siege of Amiens in 1597, king Henry IV of France ordered to design new fortifications for the city. He entrusted this new task to Jean Errard (1554-1610). Henry IV had 200 houses and a church demolished and parts of the older ramparts of Philip II of France (1165–1223) dismantled to make way for Errard's fortress.
Construction of the citadel went from 1598 to 1622.
The gate you can see there was constructed from 1615 to 1620. It's called royal door and was until 1859 the south entrance to the citadel.
After the Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659 the Franco-Spanish War ended and the citadel was no longer of use. In 1788 the destruction of the citadel was authorised.
But the citadel was still used in the Battle of Amiens (1870).
From 1871 to 1914 and from 1918 to 1939, and after WWII until 1979 the citadel became a French garrison again.
The citadel was the last place of resistance in WWII when the Germans entered Amiens on May 20, 1940. During the occupation, the citadel was a place of detention, torture and execution of resistance fighters arrested by the Germans. 35 resistance fighters were shot in the ditches of the citadel between November 12, 1940 and August 1944. Jews from the Somme department were also detained at the citadel before being transferred to Drancy.
Bought from the army in 1999 by the city of Amiens, the long walls of the Citadel have been restored since the year 2000.
I ordered this pettiskirt in a group buy several months ago and FINALLY got it yesterday! Although it seems to be really well made and it was pretty darn affordable, I don't know that I'd recommend the company based on turn around time. I paid for it in like February? Anyway... I do love it :)
I ordered peanut nibs by mistake.
The Jay thinks they're the best thing since sliced bread, no time wasted pecking the bits off full nuts.
Consequently they are back and forwards all day.
I've ordered some new foam to do the light seals on this camera. I only manged to get around 8 photos from a 36 roll and the rest were blank. I'll try the light seals first.
Got a busy day of developing negatives, I have 8 rolls of 120 to do. Oh the joy of home developing :)

I ordered this little beauty från Australien after seeing how gorgeous these small Kimmidolls look like.
I am happy now to present mu own Shigemi, which means spirited.
Every doll has its own name to symbolise and important feature/strength.
My choice for the theme "sweet #fotosondag
Jag beställde denna lilla skönhet från Australien, efter att ha sett hur fina dessa Kimmidockor är-
Jag är så glad över att presentera min helt egna Shigemi, som betyder spirituell.
Varje dock har en egen betydelse och symboliserar denna egenskap med sitt namn.
Mitt val till dagens tema "söt" till #fotosöndag.
The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of the chemical elements, ordered by their atomic number (number of protons), electron configurations, and recurring chemical properties. This ordering shows periodic trends, such as elements with similar behavior in the same column. All elements from atomic numbers 1 (hydrogen) to 118 (ununoctium) have been discovered or synthesized, with the most recent additions (elements 113, 115, 117, and 118) being confirmed by the IUPAC on December 30, 2015.

I ordered a Chrysanthemum plant for ourselves and 2 others for Christmas but they didn't arrive in time. I suspected it was problems tied up with covid. When I rung up after Christmas it turned out that for some reason they had been overlooked. The company was most apologetic. They tracked down our order despite problems of working from home. But they had no more chrysanth plants. Would we accept Gardenias instead? Something I've never grown before so a new learning curve. I know they are beautifully scented. I am quite pleased to have them now after Christmas when therer is more space for them.
I'm afraid I am not able to follow any more members or post to groups.
I have never pre-ordered a girl at all - I am very excited...free shipping and free gift with purchase! I think she will be a cute addition to my family!!!

Zeus ordered Hephaestus to create the FIRST woman, Pandora, for mankind. Pandora was given many seductive gifts from Aphrodite, Hermes, Hera, Charites, and Horae . Pandora had been given a large jar and instruction by Zeus to keep it closed, but she had also been given the gift of curiosity, and ultimately opened it. When she opened it, all of the evils, ills, diseases, and burdensome labor that mankind had not known previously, escaped from the jar, but it is said, that at the very bottom of her box, there lay hope.[Wikipedia]

This little wren wakes me up every morning with his beautiful singing. He spends a lot of time in the magnolia outside my window and I'm pretty sure he's working on a nest nearby. I may or may not have ordered him a tiny birdhouse to use!
I ordered a Sci fi X pack for some upcoming figures, expect a few mod photos.
Also I thought I'd give an update.
Kat is almost done need to finish sculpting the helmet.
One other thing. I was thinking of making a Halo "modular system for armor. If you guys would like to see that let me know :D
Ordered some masks for a South American Civilisation project. As soon as they came I knew they'd appear in some pics.
We are currently looking at the classic Maya period. If anyone has any images/knowledge of Chichez Itza, Palenque, Tikal or Copan. I realise I can get all the info I need from google, but I reckon the children will be more engaged if it's someone that can be communicated with.
During the building of the road over the Simplon, Napoleon ordered a hospice to be built at the summit of the pass in 1801. The accommodation was completed by the Great Saint Bernard canons in 1831. The three-storey building is the largest pass hospice in the Alps.
From 1800 to 1805 Napoleon Bonaparte had the first alpine pass route practicable for vehicles built over the Simplon. In 1801 he ordered the construction of a hospice at the summit of the pass that could also be used as a barracks. The running of the hospice was given over to the Augustine canons of the Great Saint Bernard hospice.
The laying of the foundation stone only took place in 1813. The following year Napoleon was overthrown and building work was suspended. The Great Saint Ber-nard canons completed the building by the Lausanne architect Henri Perregaux in 1831. The accommodation for over 300 people fed and lodged up to 12000 guests per year.
The three-storey building with steep gable roof measures and impressive 20 to 64m. The recently-renovated and modernised hospice is open all year round and can accommodate up to 130 guests. It is still run as a meeting place by the Great Saint Bernard canons The almost 9m high Simplon eagle has stood opposite the hospice as a stone sentinel since the 2nd World War.
L'hospice du Simplon est un hospice appartenant à la congrégation du Grand-Saint-Bernard, situé en Suisse, sur le territoire de la commune de Simplon, au sommet du col homonyme.
Das Simplon-Hospiz ist ein Hospiz der Augustiner-Chorherren auf dem Simplonpass.
Sein Bau wurde 1801 auf Befehl von Napoléon Bonaparte begonnen und 1831 durch die Augustiner-Chorherren des Hospizes auf dem Grossen St. Bernhard vollendet. Es steht auf einer Höhe von 1'997 m ü. M. in der Gemeinde Simplon VS.
L'ospizio del Sempione è noto internazionalmente come Simplon Hospiz, Simplon Hospice, Hospice du Simplon e si trova in territorio elvetico. Si tratta in effetti però di due ospizi.

In 2016 Czech operator LEO Express ordered net EMU's. The interior of their FLIRT units were in dire need of a renovation and the operator was planning the expand operations to new services, stretching their excisting fleet even more. Eventually the acceptance tests of these new CRRC Sirius units took slightly longer (officially due to the covid-crisis) and by that time LEO Express was bought by Renfe. Renfe cancelled the order and the CRRC Sirius units were left without owner. In 2024 the other large private operator in Czechia, RegioJet, acquired the units. Gradually the units were put into service on the Ústí nad Labem - Kolín route. Since the summer of 2025 all 3 units were active.
As a passenger I got to say the units are okay-ish. Somehow they remind me of the danish IC4 units. They looked great as well, but on the inside you could see signs of a different quality. I've been a couple of times on unit 665 001 and I wasn't all they impressed with the quality of the ride and with the sturdiness of some interor parts. However from the outside I'd say they look amazing. The RegioJet livery onto LEO Express' dark colours really fit well. Even better then their normal bright yellow trains. During the summer of 2025 I managed to get unit 665 001 on photo as it made its way to Ústí nad Labem. The city has already been reached, but due to turning around in one of the stations, it would take another 15 minutes until it would reach it final destination.
We have been ordered to shelter in place in the Bay Area due to the coronavirus. I haven't had much problem with this since I was already hunkered down recovering from my eye surgery. I think we are in for the long haul but I am okay with it. It is a scary time and I know we are all affected by this, it doesn't know any boundaries. We just have to do the right thing.
Had to take my mind off the crazy life we are living right now to see some of my backyard birdies. Stay safe everyone!
I ordered a tote bag with a shot of Minnie.
It turned out to be rather pretty:-)
In the comments I´ll post a shot from today, with Minnie in original:-) She takes a nap in my husband´s bed.
Ich habe eine Stofftasche mit Minnies Foto bestellt.
In den Kommentaren poste ich ein Foto von heute, wie sie auf dem Bett schläft, sozusagen das Original:-)
I ordered the pattern from Etsy, reduced it some, and made this catnip fish for our cat family. (hand-stitched, mind you) Instead of filling it completely with dried catnip, I made a cylindrical pouch and inserted it along with the stuffing.
As you'll see in the following photographs, there just hasn't been much enthusiasm for the fish toy. I wonder if Jimmy made a peace pact with the fish.
Looking along the Nave of the Abbey Church at Fountains Abbey towards the Choir and site of the Altar with the enormous window in the Chapel of the Nine Altars at the eastern end of the ruins.
The Abbey was founded in 1132 by monks of the Cistercian Order and closed down in 1539 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries as ordered by King Henry VIII. The ruins are Listed as a Grade I Scheduled Ancient Monument and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The dissolution of the monasteries in the late 1530s was one of the most revolutionary events in English history. There were nearly 900 religious houses in England, around 260 for monks, 300 for regular canons, 142 nunneries and 183 friaries; some 12,000 people in total, 4,000 monks, 3,000 canons, 3,000 friars and 2,000 nuns. If the adult male population was 500,000, that meant that one adult man in fifty was in religious orders. (Wikipedia).
Rob Ford, Mayor of Toronto, has been ordered to step down from his post within 14 days by an Ontario judge who ruled that Ford has violated the 'conflict of interest' act.
This is a first (I believe) for a Toronto mayor, and no one is quite sure what will happen next. Will a 'stay' of the judgement be passed giving Ford and Toronto more time? Will Ford be successful in his appeal?? If not, will there be a by election, and will Ford be allowed to run again (he has many supporters, and has vowed to fight tooth and nail to remain at his post).
While I don't really follow Toronto politics, this is sure to be a hot topic in the news this week.
This is the remnants of an old pier that was used for access to the long gone John King boatyard in Emsworth Harbour. It is in a conservation area overlooking the now defunct oyster beds that Emsworth was once famous for.
In 1239 Henry III granted a charter for a weekly market and an annual fair in Emsworth. By 1341 the town was sufficiently established as a trading and fishing port, to be one of the five ports in Hampshire ordered to provide a ship for the fleet sent to protect the Channel Islands from French attack. Interesting historical background to the area.
What you don't see is the myriad of ducks and coots at my feet which were being fed by a kindly local resident, hence the LE!
We ordered an oyster mushroom growing kit during lockdown. It is great fun to watch them grow and practise macrophotography and focus stacking at the same time. Technical notes: handheld, lit with a Lumecube Panelmini 1, eight focus bracketed shots. I tried focus stacking in Photoshop and was disappointed with the results. Then I tried Helicon Focus which worked well.
I ordered these special M&Ms for my hubby... our picture is on one... then some of the things we say to each other... 4ever & a Day... My Sweet Prince and of course I LOVE YOU!!!! He loved them!!! Thought they were the coolest thing with our picture!!!!!

The Zaporozhye (Ukrainian Запорожец, Russian Запорожец - Zaporozhets, "the one from Zaporizhzhia") was a series of automobiles from the Soviet or Ukrainian manufacturer Saporisky Awtomobilebudiwny Zavod (SAS) in the city of Zaporizhzhia. Around 1950, under Stalin, the development of a simple, cheap vehicle for war invalids was ordered. However, it was only built from 1960 under Khrushchev and was produced in various model series until 1994. Colloquially, these two-door vehicles were usually called Saporosh or simply Sapo in Germany - especially in the GDR.
Ordered by General James Oglethorpe, Governor of the 13th colony, in 1732, the Tybee Island Light Station has been guiding mariners safe entrance into the Savannah River for over 285 years. The Tybee Island Light Station is one of America's most intact light station having all of its historic support buildings on its three-acre site. Rebuilt several times the current Lighthouse displays its 1916 day mark with 178 steps and a First Order Fresnel Lens.
Under the direction of Noble Jones of Wormsloe Plantation, work began on the first day-mark (a lighthouse without a light) built on Tybee. It was constructed in 1736. It was octagonal in shape and was constructed of brickwork and cedar piles. Standing 90 feet tall, it was the tallest structure of its kind in America at that time. Unfortunately, storms took their toll on Tybee’s first day-mark. Five years after its completion, a new day-mark was commissioned. While work was progressing on a new day-mark, a storm swept the old day-mark away in August 1741.
In 1742, the second day-mark built on Tybee was completed. It was described by Oglethorpe as “the best building of that kind in America.” It was different from its predecessor, standing 94 feet with a flagstaff which ran from the nave to the top of the beacon. By 1748, the sea was within thirty feet of the day-mark. Piles were driven into the sand to support the foundations. Unfortunately, that is when the sea started to encroach, reaching the very door of the day-mark. A new day-mark was needed and time was running out.
In 1768, with the sea lapping at the foundation of the day-mark, the Georgia Assembly authorized a new day-mark/lighthouse to be built. This time a site well removed from the sea was chosen and the building was completed in early 1773. The day-mark/lighthouse was ceded to the Federal Government from the colony of Georgia in 1790. The United States Lighthouse Establishment then took over the operation of the day-mark turning it into a lighthouse and in 1791, the 100 foot tall brick and wood structure was lit with spermaceti candles for the first time.
In 1861, the wooden stairs and the top 40 feet of the tower were destroyed during the Civil War when Confederate troops, retreating to Fort Pulaski, set fire to the tower in order to prevent the Union troops from using it to guide their ships into port.
After the Civil War, the Lighthouse Establishment began work on rebuilding the Tybee Light. The lower 60 feet of the old lighthouse was still intact, and it was decided to add to the existing structure instead anew. The lighthouse was now to be a first order station, consisting of masonry and metal only. It was completely fireproof. This is the lighthouse that stands today.
The Tybee Island Museum is housed in a historic Endicott Period Battery, which was built as a part of Fort Screven during the Spanish-American War in 1899.
Fort Screven was an important military post of the Spanish American War (1898). Most of its batteries were not completed in time for that war, and the Spanish never threatened an attack on Savannah and the fort never came under fire.
Fort Screven had 7 batteries, 6 on Tybee Island and a seventh, Battery Hambright, near Fort Pulaski. Battery Garland now houses the Tybee Island Museum and is open to the public. The others can be seen from the street and beach, but are not publicly accessible.

I ordered this plant last year from Florida and found the Monarchs love it... I'm not good at growing from seeds that I collected last year, so I ordered two more plants that are planted in half barrels... I'm thrilled to see seed pods and hopefully I'll have better luck next year growing from seed...
This very unusual Milkweed goes by many common names- Hairy Balls Milkweed or Family Jewels Milkweed. This is a tropical milkweed from Africa that is hardy in zones 9-11. This plant is sometimes known as Balloon Plant or Swan Plant. Grow this milkweed as an annual in colder regions. I save seed at the end of the season for the next year. This is a host plant for Monarch butterflies. The young larvae feed on the leaves and the adults return to enjoy the nectar.
Gomphocarpus is easy to grow from seed in full sun. The plants can reach 4-5 feet tall. The flowers of this milkweed are white with maroon centers. This is where the other common name Swan Plant comes from. I use this plant as the WOW factor in mixed plantings. The seedpods are large lime green translucent balloons.The pods are also great in cut flower arrangements.
I ordered a kale protein smoothie while I waited for this train. It was pretty good for a half-assed lunch.

The Camondo family was a prominent European family of Jewish financiers and philanthropists.
Part of the Sephardic community in Spain, the Camondo family settled in Venice after the 1492 Spanish decree that ordered the expulsion of all Jews who refused conversion to Catholicism. There, some of its members became famous for their scholarship and for the services which they rendered to their adopted country. Following the Austrian takeover of Venice in 1798, members of the Camondo family established themselves in Istanbul. Despite the many restrictions and sumptuary laws imposed on all minorities, the family flourished as merchants in the business section at Galata at the outskirts of the city. They branched into finance in 1802 with the founding of their own bank, Isaac Camondo & Cie. On Isaac's death in 1832 his brother Abraham Salomon Camondo inherited the bank. He prospered greatly and became the prime banker to the Ottoman Empire until the founding of the Imperial Ottoman Bank in 1863. In 1866, the year Venice became part of Italy after a peace treaty ended the Austro-Prussian War, Abraham Salomon Camondo's son Raphaël died. In 1869, the eighty-six-year-old patriarch followed his grandsons Behor Abraham Camondo and Nissim de Camondo to Paris, France, a city the family had previously frequented and where they had established business connections. In recognition of his contributions and financial assistance to the liberation of Venetia from the Austrian Empire, in 1870 Abraham Salomon Camondo was created a hereditary count by King Victor Emmanuel II of Italy. Abraham died three years later in Paris but in accordance with his wishes his remains were returned to Istanbul for burial there in the Jewish cemetery at Hasköy, a neighbourhood on the Golden Horn in Istanbul. His two grandsons remained in Paris and continued to successfully expand their banking business.
This family is now extinct; the last descendants, Nissim de Camondo was killed in aerial combat during World War I in 1917, his father Moïse de Camondo died in 1935, his daughter (and sister of Nissim) Béatrice de Camondo, and her two children Fanny and Bertrand as well as her husband Léon Reinach were deported and murdered in Auschwitz from 1943 to 1945 during World War II.
