The Museum of Art and Popular Customs of Sevilla was created in 1972. The museum is dedicated to the ethnological heritage of Andalusia, both material and human. The objects and utensils on display document the customs, wisdom and ways of life of the traditional culture in the area.
It is set in the Mudejar Pavilion designed by architect Aníbal González for the 1929 Spanish-American Exhibition.
Its most important collections are devoted to ceramics, clothing and craft activities in Andalusia. Other important collections include the Aguiar collection of Costumbrist painting, the Soria collection of Oriental ivory and pottery, the Gestoso ceramics collection and, in particular, the Díaz Velázquez collection of lace and embroidery, one of the most important in Europe, the 6,000 items of which could fill a separate, specialist museum on their own. Sevilla's Council has also deposited its collection of original posters for the city's Spring Fair with the museum. Additions over the last decade include the acquisition of the Loty collection, comprising over 2,000 pieces of antique glassware with details of the city and the Andalusian way of life, from the beginning of the 20th century to 1936, two collections of toys and one of over 7,000 postcards.

Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares - Sevilla
El Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares de la ciudad de Sevilla (Andalucía, España) está localizado en la plaza de América del parque de María Luisa. Al otro lado de la plaza se encuentra el Museo Arqueológico. Fue el pabellón de Arte Antiguo de la Exposición Iberoamericana de 1929.
Fue planteado como pabellón de Industrias, Manufacturas y Artes Decorativas. Finalmente, se le llamó pabellón de Arte Antiguo e Industrias Artísticas. Se trata de un edificio proyectado en 1913 y construido en 1914 por el arquitecto Aníbal González, autor también de los otros edificios levantados en la misma plaza de América. Es de ladrillo visto con motivos decorativos de cerámica. Por su estilo arquitectónico, fue conocido como el pabellón Mudéjar.
En principio constaba de dos plantas sobre una cámara de aireación para evitar la humedad. Se realiza una mejora durante la década de 1960 en la planta principal, que tenía más de doce metros de altura, y se dividió con una planta artificial (corresponde a la planta primera) por el arquitecto Antonio Delgado y Roig. En 1972 se unen las plantas con una gran escalera de caracol que diseña el arquitecto José Galnares Sagastizábal, trabajo que realiza después de que la construcción fuese designada para albergar el museo por el Decreto de Creación del Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares de Sevilla, con fecha de 23 de marzo de 1972, constituido como una sección del Museo de Bellas Artes.
Sus funciones como museo se desarrollan desde el 4 de marzo de 1973, fecha en que abre sus puertas al público.

Museum of Arts and Popular Customs of Seville
The Museum of Arts and Popular Customs of Seville (Spanish: Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares) is a museum in Seville, Andalusia, Spain, located in the María Luisa Park, across the Plaza de América from the Provincial Archeological Museum.
The museum occupies the Mudéjar Pavilion (Pabellón Mudéjar) designed by Aníbal González and built in 1914. It served as an art pavilion, the Pabellón de Arte Antiguo, for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929, when Aníbal González had the opportunity to design several additional permanent buildings for the plaza. The exterior is ceramic over brick, and has three doors with archivolts adorned with glazed tiles (azulejos).[citation needed]
The building originally consisted of two stories over an aeration chamber (necessary because of the humidity). In the 1960s, the main floor, originally over 12 metres (39 ft) high, was divided in two, with an intermediate level added by architect Delgado Roig. In 1972, as part of the preparations for the current museum, the various stories of the building were connected by a grand spiral staircase designed by José Galnares Sagastizábal.
The museum was established by a decree of 23 March 1972, initially as a section of the Museum of Fine Arts of Seville. It opened its doors to the public 4 March 1973.[2] For the next seven years, the museum fell under the responsibility of the Ministry of Education and Science, but the city government occupied more than half of the poorly maintained building. Neither institution took full responsibility. This situation led to a series of temporary closures. In 1976, the electric bill could not be paid, and the museum had to be shut until it could get power again. In 1979, heavy rains damaged the interior.

Eilean Donan Castle is undoubtedly a Scottish icon and certainly one of the most popular tourist attractions in the Highlands. When you see it for the first time, it's easy to see why so many people flock to its sturdy gates year after year. Strategically located on its own little island, overlooking the Isle of Skye, at the meeting point of three great sea lakes, and surrounded by the majestic splendour of the wooded Kintail Mountains, Eilean Donan's setting is truly breathtaking.

Back by popular demand, not only because of the great photo but also because surfing at twilight has hazards one should know about ::-)
Even though the teeth of sharks are made for eating fish and other species with no vertebrae, they can mistake surfers as prey and "test bite" a silhouette or movement of.a surfer or swimmer for natural prey like seals; especially in murky waters or low visibility at twilight.
Also if they are provoked when humans initiate the interaction, such as by grabbing the animal, trying to touch it, or while spearfishing.
There is also the sensationalism of sharks as dangerous with mouths open wide as they swim rapidly, like in the movie Jaws. Instead they do this to force water through their gills to extract oxygen to breathe & survive, like Great Whites and Whale sharks.
When I was 15 before I had a surfboard, I was 'out the back' with the boardies at the point, with long flippers and a hand board, waiting for a big wave to catch. When going up one wave I looked to shore and saw many people a long way away racing out of the water, so I guessed the shark alarm had gone off.
I wasn't worried until my left leg cramped in the deep water. Not good, either I thought I was going to drown as I let my left long flipper go, and watched it sink deep, so as to better survive; and also to stop my leg from shaking so much. Sharks have an acute sense of hearing for low frequency sounds.
Then suddenly a big body surfer out there passed by and yelled "get on my back son", which I did quickly. As we caught the big wave passing and screamed down it, we saw a big shark swimming rapidly up and down through the water under us.. After that episode, I got into surf boards, like the picture featured above, but have never surfed at twilight.
Finally, I have also suddenly seen big sharks swimming around fast under water, when spear fishing ... and have just backed away slowly not to attract attention; and let go any fish caught as thats what sharks are after, not humans as their teeth are again not made for eating vertebrate backbones. Exciting huh? all the best :-))

The birds seem to like this branch & use it as a stopping off point on their way to the feeding station !
The beautifully situated Seekirchl Chapel – surrounded by mountains and stunning scenery – is probably the most famous landmark of Seefeld in the Tyrol, Austria.
Under the regency of Archduke Leopold V, construction began in 1629, but the elaborate building was not completed until 1666 – 37 years later.
Originally, the baroque Seekirchl stood in the middle of a lake artificially created by Duke Sigismund in the 15th century, which, was drained about 300 years later in 1808.
Particularly noteworthy is the octagonal ground plan of the central building, which is rare in Tyrol, with its column-free dome and enclosed bell tower. The picturesque church is probably the most popular postcard and photo motif in the region.

This well worn perch is very popular and I have seen a variety of birds take advantage of it over the years.
I think it may have originally been part of a hide - but the rest of it has long gone.
Here it is the turn of a juvenile male Common Kestrel. Shortly after I took this shot he dropped vertically after some critter scurrying about at the base.
Taken in Norfolk.

Ruben’s House in Anwerp
Peter Paul Rubens, the famous painter of 16th-17th century, was …Belgian!! A Flemish Belgian, belonging to the Belgian Baroque tradition in painting! His unique and immensely popular Baroque style emphasized movement, colour, and sensuality, which followed the immediate, dramatic artistic style promoted in the Counter-Reformation. In his times he was a Dutch from the Southern Netherlands, living in Antwerp ! Rubens was a painter producing altarpieces, portraits, landscapes, and history paintings of mythological and allegorical subjects. He was also a prolific designer of cartoons for the Flemish tapestry workshops and of front pieces for the publishers in Antwerp.
This talented man, was a great Artist in many fields, apart from his painting talent!! He was also a very educated , charismatic scholar and diplomat, and had a great talent in decoration and architecture, which he proved by cooperating with great decorators and architects of his times, in order to create his beautiful palace home in Antwerp/Anvers of our days!! You can follow and see digitally the beauty of this exquisite old palace house, here:

I visited this lovely museum-house of today, which Flanders is so proud of, with a Flemish friend of mine, this last summer in Antwerp. I share with you here some of the photos I took of the interior of Rubens House, and of its beautiful gardens , too.
This churchyard overlooks the river Thames. And it's a popular place for birds of all kinds. HFF

Boulders Beach is a sheltered beach made up of inlets between granite boulders, from which the name originated. It is located on the Cape Peninsula, in Simon's Town in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It is also commonly known as Boulders Bay. It is a popular tourist spot because of a colony of African penguins which settled there in 1982. Boulders Beach forms part of the Table Mountain National Park.
These African penguins are only found on the coastlines of Southern Africa (South Africa and Namibia). These penguins are currently endangered. As a result, the penguins are under the protection of the Cape Nature Conservation.
Although set in a residential area, it is one of the few sites where this vulnerable bird (Spheniscus demersus) can be observed at close range, wandering freely in a protected natural environment. From just two breeding pairs in 1982, the penguin colony has grown to about 3000 birds in recent years. This is partly due to the prohibition of commercial pelagic trawling in False Bay, which has increased the supply of sardines and anchovies, which form part of the penguins' diet. as well as the help from former SANDF naval officer, Van the Penguin Man
Bordered mainly by indigenous bush above the high-water mark on the one side, and the clear water of False Bay on the other, the area comprises several small sheltered bays, partially enclosed by granite boulders that are 540 million years old.
The most popular recreational spot is Boulders Beach, but the penguins are best viewed from Foxy Beach, where newly constructed boardwalks take visitors to within a few metres of the birds. It is also a famous swimming beach, although people are restricted to beaches adjacent to the penguin colony.
