Verona, day 6 of our Cosmos tour, October 5, 2012.
Sant'Anastasia is a church of the Dominican Order in Verona, northern Italy. In Gothic style, it is located in the most ancient part of the city, near the Ponte Pietra.
The current church was started in 1280 and completed in 1400, designed by the Dominican friars Fra' Benvenuto da Imola and Fra' Nicola da Imola. It took its name from a pre-existing temple built by King Theoderic the Great upon which was built the actual church. Since 1307, it is in fact co-entitled to St. Peter of Verona, martyr and co-patron of the city.
Consecrated only in 1471, until 1808 the church was held by the Dominicans.
The 72 mt tall belltower had four bells in 1460. In the 1839 were casted the modern 9 bells tuned in C, them are ringed in Veronese bellringing art by a team founded in 1776.
The church is similar in structure to the Basilica of San Zanipolo in Venice.
The façade is divided into three vertical section corresponding to the nave and the two aisles in the interior. Unfinished, the façade is mostly in brickwork. In the centre of the middle section is a simply rose window.
The 15th century portal has two doors, and is enclosed into a Gothic structure (1330) with arches supported by ornamental columns in red, black and white marble. The arches forms three lunettes: in the larger one is a representation of the Holy Trinity with two Angels, flanked by St. Joseph and the Holy Virgin. The Father sits on a Gothic throne with Crucifix on his knees and Christ on his side, surmounted by a dove. In the two smaller lunettes, directly over the portal, are portrayed the Bishop leading the Veronese people and St. Peter of Verona leading the monks, with the white-black banner of the Dominicans. The five splays of the Gothic arch are decorated with six chronological scenes of Jesus' life: the Annunciation, the Birth, the Adoration of the Magi, the Path towards the Calvary, the Crucifixion and the Resurrection. The central column between the doors has high-reliefs with St. Dominic, St. Peter of Verona and St. Thomas.
The architrave has three statues: the central and larger is Madonna with Child of Venetian school, while the other represents St. Anastasia and St. Catherine at the Wheel.
The side sections of the façade, corresponding to the aisles, have large stainglassed mullioned windows, flanked by two square belfries.
The interior, on the Latin cross plan, is divided into a nave and two aisles, with crossed vaults, separated by six columns each; the latter are in white or red Verona marble, with Gothic capitals. The four columns over the high altar show the coat of arms of the Castelbarco of Trento, a family who extensively contributed to the church's construction. Notable is the funerary monument to Cortesia Serego, on the left of the apse, which was finished in 1432. It portrays the riding figure of Cortesia, clad with an armor and holding a commanding wand. The horse is placed of the sculpted sarcophagus, which was has always been empty. The fresco part represent the Annunciation and the Saints Peter of Verona and Dominic.
The two stoups before the first two columns stands on two hunchback figures, one of which attributed to Paolo Veronese's elder son, Gabriele Caliari.
The Pellegrini Chapel houses the late International Gothic fresco of St. George and the Princess, as well as terracotta statues by Michele di Firenze, executed before 1436. A frieze by the latter, or by Pisanello, has now disappeared. The Pellegrini chapel also houses the grave of Wilhelm von Bibra.
To the left of the church entrance, Guglielmo di Castelbarco, podestà of Verona, built an arch that became his tomb (Arca) anticipating the more famous Scaliger Tombs.

Rustic Falls is a busy turnout just south of Mammoth Hot Springs. Glen Creek drops 47 ft. forming this fan type waterfall at the head of Golden Gate Canyon.
One thing I've always loved about the Sawtooths are the rustic fences. This telephoto composition worked well as it brought out both the fence and Mt Heyburn in the background.

He who postpones the hour of living is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses.

sat in our kitchen after dinner, looking a little rustic tonight me thinks! dinner was stew as the weather has been rather damp not a good choice as the sun decided to show its face. oh well we enjoyed it anyway.
**Re-uploaded after re-adjusting some levels, so the label's less washed-out.
I took this for a desktop background. I'm kind of obsessed with rustic things.
January 2009.
I also adore whiskey. I first tried this brand because I liked the bottle...fortunately it tastes as good as it looks :)
Found the old shot glass at my parents' house. I have a collection, but Key West and Niagra Falls glasses didn't quite fit the theme.
Hopefully soon I'll have an antique revolver to add to these pictures. I'm not a huge gun nut but I like those with history behind them.
Finally got my hands on Adobe Lightroom.
So I was able to put a little bit of finish on this photo, the way I'd originally intended. Hope I didn't overdo it, I hate when photos have more thought put into the editing than in the original picture.
Still, there are some things you can only do with software.
Nikon D60, Nikkor 18-55mm.
Adjusted contrast, etc. and used a preset in Lightroom.

I love the way all the Disney parks get into the holiday season! This shot from Animal Kingdom was taken at the end of last year's Christmas season, and I can't wait for this year's!

Cyanotype view of Glenn Brown's c. 1895 wooden bridge on the grounds of the National Zoo.
The bridge was located along the southern edge of the National Zoological Park. If you look at the Zoo's current map, you'll see a park service road ("Zoo Staff Only") that leads to a bridge over the creek heading to the south. That is the former location of the old rustic log bridge, and rather than a service road, it used to carry vehicular traffic through the lower area of the Zoo, providing a connection between the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway to the south and Beach Drive to the north. This was before the tunnel was constructed in the 1960s that now carries Beach Drive along the other (east) side of the creek. While the road is now closed to vehicular traffic, you can get to it easily on foot.
It remained in use until 1931, when it was replaced by the stone bridge currently on the site.

from a recent photowalk with a great friend who was passing through my town. Such a lovely evening, filled with yummy pizza, laughter and talking to kittehs in alleys
This fence is as rustic as it gets but it does the job. Taken at King's Landing, New Brunswick, which recreates rural life in 19th Century New Brunswick.
I found this beautiful rustic door in one of the walls to the keeper areas of the tiger enclosure. I love the textures in the rock wall as well as in the weathered boards of the door.
Rustic Beads made using a tutorial by Ginger Davis Allman at The Blue Bottle Tree. I tried a bit different way to distress these beads than the other rustic beads. I really like the way they turned out.
Taken in a rustic barn, used a speedlight with a grid on the model and a speedlight in a softbox to splash some light on the background. Trying to emulate light streaming in from the window.
Same procedure as every (year) bead...., new Polymer Clay Beads------https://www.etsy.com/de/shop/MargitBoehmer
