Wikipedia: Wat Traphang Ngoen (Thai: วัดตระพังเงิน) means silver lake monastery. The temple was probably built in the 14th century, around the same time with Wat Mahathat. Wat Traphang Ngoen is oriented so that it is illuminated by both rising and setting sun. The main structures of the temple are a central stupa, the ruins of a vihara, a large Buddha image on a pedestal in the west and an ordination hall on an island in the middle of an artificial lake, "Traphang Ngoen" (Silver Lake). The stupa is typical 10 meters Sukhothai style in the form of a closed lotus flower stands on a square laterite base, followed by five smaller and smaller levels of brick with a plain stucco, standing Buddha image in niches in the four cardinal directions. An ordination hall lies to the east of the main stupa on a small island in the middle of the lake. In the Sukhothai time, the ordination hall was separated by a water area from the rest of the temple complex to symbolize purity. Today only foundation bricks, some fragments of columns and a pedestal on which probably used to be a Buddha image are visible.

Welcome to the beautiful city of Uzerche under the sun, pearl of Corrèze - New Aquitaine - France - Europe
Histoire d'Uzerche
Uzerche surnommée La " Perle du Limousin " est implantée sur la crête d'un escarpement rocheux entouré par une courbe serrée de la Vézère.
Les premiers, les Gaulois s'installèrent sur ce piton rocheux.
César, après avoir conquis la Gaule, choisit de laisser quelques garnisons dans la région, avec pour mission, à Uzarcba, de surveiller les passages de la Vézère.
Le site occupait une position stratégique. Il surplombait le col de Sainte-Eulalie où se trouvait un important carrefour routier antique, d'origine préromaine. L'une des routes joignait l'Armorique au Bassin Méditerranéen, une autre permettait de franchir la Vézère à gué.
Très tôt, ce col fut équipé d'un lieu de culte consacré à une martyre espagnole du 3ème siècle, Sainte-Eulalie de Mérida.
En 480, les Wisigoths pillent et détruisent Uzerche.
Pépin le Bref, conscient de l'intérêt du site, fait bâtir une forteresse et une église protégées par une haute muraille flanquée de dix-huit tours.
La ville se dote de portes, dont la Porte Bécharie qui subsiste encore. Trente an après leur défaite à Poitiers (732), les Sarrasins envahissent une seconde fois le Limousin.
Durant sept ans la ville résiste à leurs assauts et se libère du siège par un habile stratagème. Un blason symbolisant (selon la légende) cette victoire est sculptée sur la porte Bécharie.
En 909, les Normands saccagent la cité.
Au 10ème siècle, les Carolingiens décident d'y fonder un monastère sous la conduite de l'abbé Gaubert. Un incendie en 1028 met un terme à la prospérité que connaît la communauté.
Le 12ème siècle est une période faste, les grands de ce monde traversent la cité et s'arrêtent au monastère : Henry II d'Angleterre et Aliénor d'Aquitaine, leur fils, Richard Cœur de Lion.
La ville résiste à plusieurs sièges, dont celui des Anglais, méritant ainsi le surnom d'Uzerche-La-Pucelle, celle qui n'a jamais été prise.
Dès le 14ème siècle, son développement justifie l'adage " Qui a maison à Uzerche a château en Limousin ". La noblesse de robe va construire hôtels et maisons fortes jusqu'au 16ème siècle.
En 1575, le vicomte de Turenne, à la tête des Huguenots, saccage l'abbaye.
La puissance de son abbaye et la création d'une sénéchaussée royale firent d'elle une capitale du Bas-Limousin.

-------------------------------
History of Uzerche
Uzerche, nicknamed the "Pearl of Limousin", is located on the crest of a rocky escarpment surrounded by a tight curve of the Vézère.
The first, the Gauls, settled on this rocky peak.
Caesar, after having conquered Gaul, chose to leave some garrisons in the region, with the mission, in Uzarcba, to monitor the passages of the Vézère.
The site occupied a strategic position. It overlooked the Sainte-Eulalie pass where there was an important ancient road junction, of pre-Roman origin. One of the roads joined Armorica to the Mediterranean Basin, another made it possible to ford the Vézère.
Very early on, this pass was equipped with a place of worship dedicated to a 3rd century Spanish martyr, Sainte-Eulalie de Mérida.
In 480, the Visigoths pillaged and destroyed Uzerche.
Pépin le Bref, aware of the interest of the site, had a fortress and a church built, protected by a high wall flanked by eighteen towers.
The city is equipped with gates, including the Porte Bécharie which still remains. Thirty years after their defeat at Poitiers (732), the Saracens invade Limousin a second time.
For seven years the city resisted their assaults and freed itself from the siege by a clever stratagem. A coat of arms symbolizing (according to legend) this victory is carved on the Porte Bécharie.
In 909, the Normans sacked the city.
In the 10th century, the Carolingians decided to found a monastery there under the leadership of Father Gaubert. A fire in 1028 put an end to the prosperity of the community.
The 12th century was a prosperous period, the great of this world crossed the city and stopped at the monastery: Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine, their son, Richard the Lionheart.
The city resisted several sieges, including that of the English, thus deserving the nickname of Uzerche-La-Pucelle, the one that was never taken.
From the 14th century, its development justifies the adage "Who has a house in Uzerche has a castle in Limousin". The nobility of the robe built hotels and fortified houses until the 16th century.
In 1575, the Vicomte de Turenne, at the head of the Huguenots, sacked the abbey.
The power of its abbey and the creation of a royal senechaussee made it a capital of Bas-Limousin.

Wikipedia: The central base of the Ubosot of Wat Phra Kaew is decorated with a golden row of 112 Garudas.
The national emblem of Thailand is called the Phra Khrut Pha; "Garuda as the vehicle" (of Vishnu). The Garuda was officially adopted as the national emblem by Vajiravudh (Rama VI) in 1911. However, the mythical creature had been used as a symbol of royalty in Thailand for centuries. The Garuda is depicted on seals, which are used by the King and the Government of Thailand to authenticate official documents and as its primary emblem.
The Garuda is a mythological beast of the Hindu and Buddhist tradition. According to Hindu mythology, the Garuda is the vahana (vehicle) of the god Vishnu (Narayana). The ancient kings of Thailand believed in divine kingship, and considered themselves the incarnation of the god Narayana. Thus, the Garuda came to symbolize the divine power and authority of the king.
The Garuda also features in the national emblem of Indonesia and the emblem of the city of Ulaanbaatar.

I can't help but the colors of this leaf makes me think of Jamaica. Probably because in Germany there are three political parties being symbolized by each of these colors, and a potential alliance between them is refered to as "Jamaica coalition" in the media 😊

Located at the highest point in Helshoven, this floating chapel is the new attraction in the Haspengouw region in Belgium. Artist Frits Jeuris created the chapel from cherry trees. These trees fell prey to the Little Cherry Virus that causes too small fruits. Through this artwork they are given a second life and symbolize the dynamic landscape of Haspengouw.

This is a multiple exposure piece taken from MOMA. In one exposure, there is a room filled with bullet balloons, symbolizing a brief relief of pain. These balloons float around and linger. Sometimes, they know you are calling their name. Other times, they are stand offish and stay by themselves in the corner. As in the case of the art by Félix González-Torres, the installation is interactive and the second exposure features a photographer who had his lens pointed in my direction holding a Magic Bullet. This piece is by General Idea, a Canadian art collective. Two of the artists died of AIDS in 1994. Such a sadness.

Flowers speak to us in many ways. They symbolize joy and abundance at weddings; they convey sadness and loss at funerals; they express love and devotion at any time. From the beginning of recorded history, flowers have wordlessly expressed our emotions and thoughts.

A "something different" picture / A photo which symbolizes this summer.
The summer of 2018 is tough. We never had a summer like this here in Switzerland for almost 100 years. (Very hot and dry. Water is in need now.) When I saw this dried-up meadow during a walk with my dog Roco this morning, I thought that there were hardly any butterflies in it. But suddenly a small nondescript butterfly flew up, past me and sat on a blade of grass not far from me. As I approached, I first realized how tiny and lonely the only butterfly in this dry meadow seemed to me. Suddenly he opened his wings and I saw this royal blue glowing in front of me as someone said to me: "Look how beautiful the color of the sky is on the earth, even though much seems dead."
I was just touched by the beauty in front of me. I saw it as a present for me at this moment. And I would like to share this gift with my dear friends here. Thank you for your attention.
