In the 10th century the Countess Mumadona Dias, after having been widowed, ordered the construction of a monastery in her estates at Vimaranes - today Guimarães. The constant attacks by Moors and Normans lead to the construction of a fort to guard and defend the monks and the Christian community which lived in its purlieus. Thus came into being the original castle.
With the formation of the County of Portucalem in the 12th century Count D. Henrique and Countess D. Teresa came to live in Guimarães. They enlarged and strengthened the castle and according to tradition it was here that they took up residence. King Afonso Henriques was probably born here.
Between the 13 th and 15th centuries various kings contributed to further improve the Castle. Throughout its history it served as the backdrop for dynastic conflicts, none more heroic than the exploits leading to the foundation of the kingdom at the Battle of S. Mamede in 1128 for which reason it is also known as the Founding Castle or as the Castle of St. Mamede.
Once it had lost its defensive function the Castle was abandoned to progressive decline until the 20th century when it was declared a National Monument and completely restored.

Questions popped up about my last image today: Why would I use so many images to make a Panorama image, you can do it with less images they say. And that's true!
The right side of the image is part of a panorama image made with 3 images using a 10-24mm lens in Landscape mode.
The left side is part of a 10-image panorama using a 35mm lens in portrait mode. See the difference in resolution & sharpness! Although both images look good when viewed on Flickr, viewing them 1:1 is showing significant differences in details, sharpness and contrast. When you print those images on large format you'll see it definitely.
This does not make the image on the right a bad one, not at all, I will continue to make those as well. But when you need or want a better quality from time to time you can do it, even with a D7000...
Thanks for viewing & comments!
About 70 people came to hear Claire Theaker-Brown of Flatter Me Belts, Shane Pawluk of IZM and Alison McMahon of TwoFold talk about turning great ideas into great products. The panel was held at the Edmonton Journal on March 18, 2015, and was moderated by Karen Unland.
There's something wrong with me chemically
Something wrong with me inherently

Question: Now why would I post a rather common image with seemingly little to zero "artistic" appeal?
Answer: Two fold. I enjoy the subject. I LOVE the gray tones.

A question from a Flickr friend about this bridge prompted me to post this shot. It is my understanding that people could walk on it for some time after the trains had ceased to cross it. It has since been deemed unsafe for people to walk on it.
This also shows more details of the "Roche de Boeuf" rock.
Here is a history tidbit I posted previously (from waterville.org):
Waterville residents were excited when the Lima-Toledo Traction Company announced in 1907 that an interurban line through the village was being planned with cars expecting to reach Toledo in the miraculous time of 20 minutes. Grandest of all was the news that the longest reinforced concrete railroad bridge in the world would be built at the historic site of the Roche de Boeuf, an outcropping of rock in the Maumee River just south of the village where native Americans were said to have gathered in earlier times. For the next 30 years the red interurban cars raced across the bridge, one of the cars actually winning a race against an airplane in 1930, rocketing along at nearly 100 miles an hour. The railway line went out of business in 1937, but the decaying old bridge remains standing today as a testament to engineering history.

"An antique board game with a magical/wizard theme. The game was published by McLoughlin Bros., N.Y.: c. 1870. It measures 11.75 x 11.75 x 2 inches when in the case.
Inside the box is a spinner resting beneath a pane of glass. The directions are mounted underneath the glass. There are three "answer inserts" that hug the outer portion of the box, fitting around the glass. Three double-sided circular question cards are provided, each one corresponding to an answer insert.
After a question is asked, the question card is placed upon the glass pane and aligned such that the question asked is placed in the top (12 o'clock) position. The spinner is then magnetically moved, and points to the correct answer on the "answer insert."
The directions read: "In asking a question, place the Question Card so that it will fit exactly over this Disc, placing the question asked at the top, so that the dot on the edge will be directly opposite the dot on the top of this Disc, when the hand will immediately move in a quizzical manner, and in a few moments stop, and give the correct answer."
I was recently asked the question by a friend “How far have you seen with your telescope?” I did not know the answer off the top of my head. He seem satisfied when I side stepped the question and told him that by just using my eyes I once make out the Great Sculptor Galaxy (NGC 253) during a night of perfect seeing from a mountain top in the Hawaiian Islands. NGC 253 is 9.8 million light years which easily sets my “without aid” long distance record (note, a light year is approximately 5.88 trillion miles or 9.5 trillion kilometers). Anyway, out of my own curiosity I started to look through my past observational logs to see what the answer to his question was. Quasar Q1634+706 turned out to be my record. I observed it from a dark location in West Virginia, far away from city lights, with my 45.72 cm (18”) reflector. The light from Q1634+706 observed that night left the quasar 8.6 billion years ago. But the universe is receding fast at that distance and thus the quasar had traveled a lot since it sent the light that I saw. Q1634+706 real distance was closer to 12.9 billion light years. Unfortunately, I did not make a drawing of that observation. However, what really surprised me was that my second place of the furthest objects I have seen through a telescope was with a more modest-sized 155 mm (6.1") refractor from the deck of my house. Considering that the sky over my house is light-saturated this came as a surprise. The above drawing is of quasar 3C-273 made on February 15, 1999. The small dot just to the left of the 3C-273 label is the quasar. This quasar is approximately 2.4 billion light years from the deck of my house. It shines 4 trillion times brighter than our sun (visual magnitude = 12.9, absolute magnitude = -26.7). The light I was seeing from my home deck that night left the quasar 2.4 billion years ago – to me that is so cool.

Maj. Gen. Roger Cloutier, commanding general of U.S. Army Africa, gave remarks and answered questions July 24, 2019, to the Europe and Africa Contracting Coordination Board at Caserma Ederle, Vicenza, Italy.
More than 60 Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and civilians met in order to share information, coordinate acquisition strategies, and alleviate duplicative efforts to fulfill similar contracting support requirements through theater-strategic sourcing.
"We couldn't execute our mission without your support," Cloutier said to the room. "You're the unsung heroes of every exercise and training. I'm here today to say thank you for all you do."
Skull and question mark cookies for class. Trying to make them feel like you're not meant to eat them. Tasted pretty good though.
The question.
Even if I toggle the display, enter precision mode and focus hard on the subject, I usually end up feeling like a big question mark.
Many of the members had never been to The Pointe before and had several questions pertaining to Supportive Living.
