The Magdalenenklause is a hermitage, designed as an artificial ruin, located in the Nymphenburg Palace Park.
The purpose of the building was to serve as a memento mori for the Elector (Kurfürst) Max Emanuel - he was supposed to visit the building and contemplate the transience of being alive and a ruler.
Unfortunately Max Emanuel did not live long enough to see the building completed - sic transit gloria...

Probably the world's most famous bridge, the Ponte Vecchio was Florence's first bridge to cross the Arno River. Documents trace it back to the 10th century, though it's thought to date back to Roman times when the Via Cassia crossed the river here. Twice destroyed by floods, this incarnation was built in 1345. Shops have always been on the bridge; at first butchers, tanners, and food stalls, but today's shops sell jewelry, art, and souvenirs – they smell better.
A long-secret passage called the Vasari Corridor rests atop the bridge's shops. Medici ruler Grand Duke Cosimo I commissioned architect Giorgio Vasari in 1564 to design it to provide a safe way for the Duke to get from his Pitti Palace residence to his administrative offices across the river at the Vecchio Palace, nearly a kilometer away. (Its course snakes right through buildings, including the reknowned Uffizi gallery). And by the way, its entire length is lined with rare artworks (heavy on portraits).
This is the last week of Enchantment and the feeds have been flooded with some of the best Alice in Wonderland images I've ever seen, which makes adding to it quite daunting. I couldn't help but make another image using Tableau Vivant's awesome hair from Fantasy Gacha Carnival though! I am wearing new Stripper Sparkles by Cynful in the image. I wish their......

Inle Lake, Taunggyi, and a few hill stations in the western periphery of the Shan State are the only places in the state that have been fully controlled by the central government throughout the British rule and independent Myanmar. The rest of the state has been tended to be autonomous and fragmented into small territories of ethnic minorities. The area is better known as the Golden Triangle.
Kyaingtong (Burmese) or Kengtung (Thai) is the largest town in the Golden Triangle. It is a fortified old town that had been the seat of a Shan ruler called Sawbwa (Burmese) or Saopa (Thai).
Accordingly, the stupa of Wat Jom Kam is built in a northern Thai style. It does not have a Hti, a metal ornament that tops the stupas in Myanmar.
Ho potuto (purtroppo) vedere la scala interna della nuova ala dell’ospedale di Grosseto e l’ho fotografata con tutti i dispositivi che avevo a disposizione: la Zorki 4 ed il mio mitico iPhone SE (1st generation).
Mächtig thront die Burg Hohenwerfen auf ihrem über 100 Meter hohen Kegel über dem Salzachtal: Über die Jahrhunderte hinweg war sie Verteidigungsanlage und Gefängnis. Eine große Rolle spielte sie auch während der „Salzburger Bauernkriege“. Als eines der besterhaltenen Bauwerke des späten Mittelalters bietet sie im Rahmen eines geführten Rundgangs spannende Einblicke in Baugeschichte und Leben auf der Burg. Neben den Greifvogelvorführungen des historischen Landesfalkenhofes und Mittelalter-Veranstaltungen werden hier gerne Hochzeiten gefeiert.
Zeitgleich mit der Festung Hohensalzburg und der Burg Friesach in Kärnten begann man im Jahr 1077 unter Erzbischof Gebhard von Helfenstein mit dem Bau der Wehranlage Burg Hohenwerfen. Alle drei Burgen wurden anlässlich des Investi-turstreits zum Schutz des Salzburger Fürsterzbistums erbaut. Große Herrscher und Landesherren wie etwa der Erzbischof Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau waren Gefangene auf der Burg.
Hohenwerfen Castle sits enthroned on its 100 meter high cone over the Salzach Valley: for centuries it was a defensive structure and prison. It also played a major role during the “Salzburg Peasant Wars”. As one of the best preserved buildings from the late Middle Ages, it offers exciting insights into the history of the castle and life in the castle as part of a guided tour. In addition to the birds of prey demonstrations at the historic state falconry and medieval events, weddings are also celebrated here.
At the same time as the Hohensalzburg Fortress and Friesach Castle in Carinthia, the construction of the Hohenwerfen Fortress was started in 1077 under Archbishop Gebhard von Helfenstein. All three castles were built on the occasion of the investment dispute to protect the Salzburg archbishopric. Great rulers and sovereigns such as Archbishop Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau were prisoners at the castle.

Macro Mondays 'numbers and letters' theme.
The polarised colours don't work as well as the ruler is orange to begin with.
The image measures 2.5" in width
Psalm 58:8: “Let them (wicked rulers: David is probably speaking about King Saul and his cohorts) be like a snail that melts away as it moves along! Let them be like stillborn babies that never see the sun!”
I was uninspired trying to come up with something interesting for this theme until I looked in my "Measure & Level" drawer and found a couple old rulers that have obviously been around for a while.
The green smear of paint on the top ruler was my grandfather's tool color and the one on the bottom is actually stamped "Made in the U.S.A."-- very uncommon these days.
Anyway, Happy Macro Monday everyone! :)

Fun picture, but too old and not perfect yet.
I was planning on a remake, may be tomorrow?

Taken macro 1:1 for the group #MacroMondays theme: #MyClosest
This is as close as I can get to an 8 mm glass bead on a metal ruler (ruler is in mm's). My camera is a compact zoom with built-in lens so requires accessories to get this close when using 1:1 macro. I used Hoya Close-Up II 52 mm filter lenses +1, +2 & +4 combined & fitted to my Canon PowerShot 42 mm lens via a 42-52 mm adapter ring. Photographed outside in bright, natural daylight. The metal ruler has a brushed stainless steel surface and is 20 mm wide. When taking the shot I tried to exclude as much of the ruler as possible leaving just enough to show measurement of bead with a couple of spare mm's here and there.

Po-i-Kalan or Poi Kalan (Uzbek: Poi Kalon, Persian: پای کلان Pā-i Kalān, which means "The Foot of the Great"), is an Islamic religious complex located around the Kalan minaret in Bukhara, Uzbekistan.
The complex is located in the historic part of the city. Since 713, several ensembles of main mosques were built in this area, to the south of the Ark citadel. One of these complexes, burned down by Genghis Khan during the siege of Bukhara, was built in 1121 by the Karakhanid ruler Arslan-khan. The Kalan minaret is the only one of the structures of Arslan-han complex that was kept safe during that siege.
………Looking west from Castlerigg Stone Circle - I wonder how different it was for them? We know so very little about their time & existence, but what is VERY clear WE will have left far more of a mark on planet Earth than ever they did!! Think again and think hard World leaders as you sit & pontificate the Earths future.
'No plastic'
'Lots and lots more trees'
'No combustion engines'
to name but three for those leaders back then.....................

Tamar the Great (Georgian: თამარ მეფე) (c. 1160 – 18 January 1213) reigned as the Queen of Georgia from 1184 to 1213, presiding over the apex of the Georgian Golden Age. A member of the Bagrationi dynasty, her position as the first woman to rule Georgia in her own right was emphasized by the title mepe ("king"), afforded to Tamar in the medieval Georgian sources.
Tamar was proclaimed heir and co-ruler by her reigning father George III in 1178, but she faced significant opposition from the aristocracy upon her ascension to full ruling powers after George's death. Tamar was successful in neutralizing this opposition and embarked on an energetic foreign policy aided by the decline of the hostile Seljuq Turks. Relying on a powerful military élite, Tamar was able to build on the successes of her predecessors to consolidate an empire which dominated the Caucasus until its collapse under the Mongol attacks within two decades after Tamar's death.
Tamar was married twice, her first union being, from 1185 to 1187, to the Rus' prince Yuri, whom she divorced and expelled from the country, defeating his subsequent coup attempts. For her second husband Tamar chose, in 1191, the Alan prince David Soslan, by whom she had two children, George and Rusudan, the two successive monarchs on the throne of Georgia.
Tamar's association with the period of political and military successes and cultural achievements, combined with her role as a female ruler, has led to her idealization and romanticization in Georgian arts and historical memory. She remains an important symbol in Georgian popular culture.
