Somehow I inherited old books from my family of origin. Such as this one, printed in 1900, entitled "The Complete Poems of Sir Thomas More; Collected by Himself with Explanatory Notes". The thin piece of tissue or vellum protects an old photo or lithograph of the man himself.
Do you remember when vintage or antique books were assembled with such care?

I visited the open Art Museum and noticed that this art piece is very similar to my Gorilla Tripod :-). I took this picture for a fun.
Every design gets inspired by something who knows that the design of this tripod was inspired by this.
À proximité de Picherande, la cascade de la Barthe est idéale pour se rafraîchir les sens après un énorme repas de Noël.
Elle a trouvé son origine dans l'érosion. Le ruisseau de Neuffonds bascule en cascade sur le front de la coulée de lave érodée par le temps.

C'était à l'origine, un ensemble de 3 dolmens dont l'un a été déplacé à la fin du XIXe s dans le cimetière de Meudon en Île-de-France pour servir de monument funéraire à la famille Piketty !
Ils datent du Néolithique (-4000 -3500 av JC) et étaient autrefois recouverts d'un tumulus aujourd'hui érodé.

Détails de la façade du Jenners Department Store, 40 Princes Street, Édimbourg, Écosse. Une vue à partir de Princes street.
Maintenant connu sous le nom de Jenners, il a été le plus ancien grand magasin indépendant en Ecosse jusqu'à son acquisition par House of Fraser en 2005.
Surnommé le Harrods of the North, il fut fondé en 1838 par Charles Jenner and Charles Kennington mais, après un feu, dût en 1895 s’installer dans l’édifice actuel dessiné par l’architecte écossais William Hamilton Beattie. Celui-ci agrémenta la façade victorienne de nombreuses caryatides féminines en hommage aux femmes formant la principale clientèle du magasin.
New Town est un quartier du centre historique situé au nord de la Vieille ville. Chef-d'œuvre d'urbanisme, il a été construit par étapes entre 1767 et 1850 environ et conserve une grande partie de son architecture d'origine néoclassique et georgienne dans ses anciens hôtels particuliers aujourd'hui occupés en majorité par des bureaux. Sa rue la plus connue est Princes Street, face au château d'Édimbourg et à la Vieille Ville à travers la dépression géologique de l'ancien Nor’Loch.
La ville d’Édimbourg, capitale de l’Écosse depuis 1532, est construite sur des collines volcaniques. Alors que la Vieille ville (cité) s'est construite autour de l'imposant crag d’origine glacière (Castle Rock) et sa forteresse dont les fondations remontent au 7e siècle ainsi que de sa queue (Royal Mile), on dit souvent que la ville moderne est construite sur sept collines, à savoir Calton Hill, Corstorphine Hill, Craiglockhart Hill, Braid Hill, Blackford Hill, Arthur's Seat et Castle Rock, donnant lieu à des allusions aux sept collines de Rome.
Avec l’Old Town, la New Town a été désignée site du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO en 1995 (WHL-728). La ville est le siège du Parlement écossais depuis le rétablissement de celui-ci en 1999.
Fuchsia magellanica, commonly known as the Hummingbird fuchsia or Hardy fuchsia, is a species of flowering plant native to South America, from the temperate southern regions of Argentina and Chile to the Straits of Magellan, in general growing near the waterways.
In the southern part of Chile (Western Patagonia) it grows at the edge of the woods.
This sub-shrub can grow to 10 feet (3.0 m) in height and width in frost-free climates, and 4–5 feet (1.2–1.5 m) where is colder. The plant blossoms profusely over a long period with many small and tubular pendent flowers, in brilliant shades of red and purple, softer shades of pink and lavender, and some in white.
It is naturalized in the United Kingdom and Bolivia, regions where it was introduced for gardening. It arrived in England in the late 18th century. According to tradition, the English gardener James Lee discovered it on the windowsill of a seaman's house and bought it for a considerable sum. As early as 1793 Lee is said to have sold a large number of pieces that he had pulled from this one copy.
In Australia, the species is recorded as naturalised in the states of Western Australia, South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania.
The species is widely used in gardening, as an ornamental plant, due to the color and shape of its flowers. Many of the existing cultivars of Fuchsia are hybrids of this species with another of the genus, generally originating in warmer climates, since their main use as a source of hybridization is due to their resistance to cold.
It is grown in temperate and subtropical gardens, or in containers on patios, balconies, and indoors, but prefers a sunny position.
The plants are quite cold-hardy compared to other species from more tropical climates, and only die in hard frosts.
The profuse pendent flowers are a nectar source attractive to hummingbirds.
This Fuchsia is one of the species hybridized in obtaining "Brinco-de-princesa" (Princess earring), the name by what is known in Brazil.

In certain sense we can say that Fuchsia magellanica can be the mother of many species of fuchsias.

I'll have a few final sunset shots from Ross tomorrow, but this one marks the end of our current exploration into the origins of the Ross Bridge and its astounding art. I hope that I have convinced you these carvings are NOT the work of a madman who made bizarre grotesques as mere decoration.
I realise that is the way most people have seen the Ross Bridge art, if they have even bothered to look at the bridge too closely. We all know how often the tourist experience is one viewed through the lens of a few selfies. Very often we are not actually "present" when in tourist mode. That's a tragedy in my view. I dare say quite a few locals still scratch their heads about the meaning of the bridge too.
But this work is far from meaningless. I hope I have shown that. But more than this, it is a call to recognise that no matter how dark our history may have been at times, the chance for redemption and renewal is there.
But, and this is a very important "but" that the Prophet Daniel from Ross wanted us to hear: We cannot renew ourselves as children of the light until we face our deeds as children of the darkness. There is no forgiveness without repentance if I can put it in distinctly Christian terms.
Daniel Herbert did not believe in cheap grace. His freedom was bought with a heavy price, but in the end he died a free man, a man whose conscience was clear.

À l'origine, le panama se fabriquait exclusivement en feuilles de bombanaxa, mais cette matière fragile fut abandonnée avec la popularisation mondiale du chapeau.
La matière première utilisée est la feuille de Carludovica palmata, appelée paja toquilla, une espèce de palmiers poussant en Équateur. Les Équatoriens préfèrent parler de sombrero fino de paja toquilla plutôt que de panama. Après la récolte, les cœurs de palmes sont transportés à dos de mulets jusqu’aux villages, où la palme est divisée en fibres fines. Il existe deux traitements de la fibre : à Cuenca, la paille est bouillie pour éliminer la chlorophylle alors qu'à Montecristi, elle est séchée au soleil et blanchie à la fumée de soufre. Puis les artisans procèdent au tissage qui peut durer jusqu'à huit mois.
En 2009, l'Institut équatorien de la propriété intellectuelle reconnaît l'appellation d'origine contrôlée du panama. En 2012, l'Unesco l'inscrit au patrimoine culturel immatériel de l'humanité.

INFO 'The Domesday Book records Ringmore as a Devon Manor known then as ‘Ronmore’. Stephen de Haccombe, and his successors are know to have built three chapels in the area, two survive as chapels today, one at Haccombe, and the other is St Nicholas in Ringmore, Shaldon.
The third local chapel is only a ruin. Church Architects are of the opinion the St Nicholas is of 13th Century origins, a fact borne out by the East end Wall with it’s Lancet window-a fact accepted as proof.
Records of various events refer to this church, and the Register of Baptisms was started in 1616, prior to that, Baptisms had taken place at Haccombe. About this time, the Carew family –now Lords of the Manor of Haccombe, carried out repairs to St Nicholas, but the fabric of the building, and it’s architectural features were kept intact. Haccombe Church supplied the Clergy to the Church until 1621 when the first Clergy signed the Baptism register - Elezeus Coke.
Burial and Marriage registers were than started –and in 1671 Lord Clifford bought several local estates including the Manor of Ringmore with St Nicholas Parish. Bishop Keppel visited the church in 1768 and decided that care was needed to restore the Church.
By 1790 a large extension had been added, and a gallery built, along with various other improvements. Mention of a Church organ was made in 1827, but was then replaced with an early version of the Harmonium called a ‘Seraphine’. 1839 saw a gallery added to the North wall for the Sunday School, and a new roof with a domed skylight and wooden Bell tower added in1841. The original font had been removed, and replaced by the existing font-which is Saxon or early Norman.
Reverend Richard Marsh-Dunn cancelled plans for any more changes to St Nicholas, as he had decided to build a new church on the reclaimed land on Riverside in Shaldon.
This was consecrated and dedicated to St.Peter, and became the new Parish Church of St.Nicholas, South Devon in 1903. St Nicholas was subsequently renovated with funds generated by a generous benefactor, and was given the official title of Chapel of Ease.'
C'était à l’origine un monastère fondé par le roi d'Écosse, David Ier en 1128. Il a servi comme résidence principale des rois et reines d’Écosse depuis le XVe siècle. C'est la résidence de la reine Élisabeth II lors de ses séjours officiels en Écosse. Ce château se situe à l'extrémité du Royal Mile, à l'opposé de la forteresse médiévale.
Origines de la vie, Précambrien- Cambrien
(De - 3700 à -490 millions d'années)
Entre la formation de la Terre ( -4,5 milliards d'années) et les premiers témoignages de vie, il se passe presque un milliard d'années. Pendant les 3 milliards d'années suivants, la vie reste confidentielle et aquatique. Dans l'eau, les organismes se diversifient et se complexifient. D'abord (vers 580 millions d'années) des organismes marins au corps mou, puis les organismes aux structures dures - carapaces et coquilles - se développent fortement en nombre et en taille.

Origin of The White Castle. For the origin of The White Castle we have to go back in time to the late Middle Ages.
In 1383 the castle was issued by duchess Johanna van Brabant to knight Pauwels van Haestrecht. This knight had big plans, because in the same year he spoke in The Hague about a house and yard.
This 'borch' consisted of a simple brick residential tower of approximately 11 by 13 meters with a wall thickness of 2 meters. The foundations of the current castle date from this period. The beautiful ribless cellar vault may also be from this time.
Loon op ’t Sant village, was close to Pauwels van Heastrecht's heart. When sand drifts increasingly threatened the village ofLoon op ’t Sant , he had a new village church built 'six steps' to the west, near the castle. This became the core of today's Loon op Zand.
A LARGE CASTLE In the course of the 15th and 16th centuries, the residential tower was extended into a grand castle. Where the English garden is now, an outer bailey was connected to the residential tower by means of an overbuilt access bridge.
This explains the extensive canal system around the castle and gardens. On the north side, earthen walls were erected for defense. The remnants of it are still clearly visible.
Persons such as the Spanish Emperor Charles V, Frederik Hendrik accompanied by the poet Constantijn Huygens (then secretary of Frederik Hendrik) visited the castle. The Sun King Louis XIV stayed there for some time, during the campaign in 1672, the disaster year, against the Republic of the Seven United Provinces. Napoleon also visited the White Castle during the French rule.
The present appearance of Het Witte Kasteel was determined by a renovation around 1777. The Van Salm tot Salm family, then in possession of the manor, gave the castle back the original shape of the residential tower. The outer bailey and the overbuilt access bridge were demolished.
The entrance to the tower was moved from the east side to the north side, where a new forecourt with outbuildings (coach house and lower house) arose. The interior was also adapted to the wishes of the 18th century with regard to comfort. This pleasant peace was rudely disrupted in the Second World War when Het Witte Kasteel was badly damaged after shelling. An impressive restoration, completed in 1950, gave Het Witte Kasteel back its former appearance.

The last light of a winter afternoon illuminates CERVO (or CERVO LIGURE), a town included in the circuit of the most Beautiful Villages in Italy with a beautiful historic center of medieval origin. Liguria, ITALY.
Albignac était, à l’origine, un prieuré d’hommes dépendant de l’abbaye de Saint-Michel de Cluse, en Piémont. L’éloignement de la maison mère, et les guerres, amenèrent la décadence du prieuré. Une bulle du pape Clément VI, signée en Avignon autour de 1394, rattache Albignac au monastère de Coyroux. Albignac devient alors prieuré cistercien de filles. De l’église romane, qui devait compter parmi les plus importantes de la Corrèze, ne subsiste plus que le clocher. La nef et le choeur actuels ont été reconstruits à une époque indéterminée. Le clocher devait primitivement se situer sur la travée précédant le choeur. Au nord et au sud de ce massif apparaissent, très mutilées, des colonnes engagées et des départs d’arcs correspondant certainement à des passages voûtés qui devaient assurer la communication entre les collatéraux de la nef et le choeur. Quelques chapiteaux décorés de feuillages et d’animaux fabuleux (hydrocentaures, femmes-oiseaux) subsistent encore. La travée sous le clocher est remarquable par sa hauteur : les chapiteaux sont à environ onze mètres au-dessus du sol. Ils soutiennent des arcs en plein cintre et sont portés par des colonnes engagées. La nef, le choeur et la sacristie ont été construits avec des matériaux de remploi de l’église primitive.
