Basilica di Santa Giusta
L'abside, a differenza delle pareti laterali, è dominata dalle decorazioni, tanto da poter quasi rivaleggiare in questo senso con la facciata.
Come quest'ultima, anche la parete absidale è ripartita i tre registri: in questo caso, però, non sono degli elementi decorativi a causare ciò, ma l'elemento architettonico principale, cioè l'abside.
Le parti laterali sono divisi in due registri dalle paraste d'angolo e dalle lesene: queste si concludono con due archetti modanati. Sia nel registro immediatamente a sinistra dell'abside che in quello immediatamente a destra si aprono due monofore, dalla centina elegantemente modanata.
L'abside è elegantemente ripartita da semicolonne poggianti su plinti e culminanti in capitelli a foglia: tra questi e gli archetti che danno il ritmo alla parte superiore dell'abside, degli abachi dadiformi.
Tre monofore si aprono sulla parete dell'abside, tutte dotate di centina modanata.
Un'apertura cruciforme si trova invece nel timpano del registro centrale della parete, mentre nello zoccolo stanno altre tre mofore che danno luce alla cripta della cattedrale.
Basilica of Santa Giusta
The apse, unlike the side walls, is dominated by the decorations, so much so that it can almost rival the facade in this sense.
Like the latter, the apse wall is also divided into three registers: in this case, however, it is not the decorative elements that cause this, but the main architectural element, that is the apse.
The lateral parts are divided into two registers by the corner pilasters and the pilasters: these end with two molded arches. Both in the register immediately to the left of the apse and in the one immediately to the right there are two single-lancet windows, with an elegantly molded rib.
The apse is elegantly divided by semi-columns resting on plinths and culminating in leaf capitals: between these and the arches that give rhythm to the upper part of the apse, there are diced abacuses.
Three single-lancet windows open on the apse wall, all with molded ribs.
A cruciform opening is instead found in the tympanum of the central register of the wall, while in the plinth there are three other mophores that give light to the crypt of the cathedral.

This was taken off of the point near the lighthouse surfing museum. The surf wasn't huge, but it was big enough for some fun rides like this one. When the bigger sets came in everyone was trying to get on a wave and rip on them like this guy.
This ornament was on the Australian tree at Frederik Meijer Gardens...this one was taken quite a few years ago.
Thanks for views, comments and favs :)
My niece who is handicapped loves Santa, she wanted me to put a plate of sweets out for him and make sure I take a picture to send her,….a Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 to all my Flickr friends

Santa Maria Valley 2-6-2 No. 205 pauses on a trestle in Lebanon, Oregon on a Pete Lerro photo charter. You have to admire the dedication of George Lavacat, who purchased the engine in 1983 and then took 35 years of his own time to restore it to service! He recently sold the engine and his SP SD9 to Albany & Eastern.
The Santa Monica Pier is a large double-jointed pier at the foot of Colorado Avenue in Santa Monica, California. With an iconic entrance, the pier is popular with residents and visitors as a landmark that is over 100 years old.
Santa Monica has had several piers; however, the Santa Monica Pier is two adjoining piers that long had separate owners. The long, narrow Municipal Pier opened September 9, 1909, primarily to carry sewer pipes beyond the breakers, and had no amenities. The short, wide adjoining Pleasure Pier to the south, a.k.a. Newcomb Pier, was built in 1916 by Charles I. D. Looff and his son Arthur, amusement park pioneers. Attractions on the Pleasure Pier eventually included the Santa Monica Looff Hippodrome building (which now houses the current carousel and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places), the Blue Streak Racer wooden roller coaster (which was purchased from the defunct Wonderland amusement park in San Diego), the Whip, merry-go-rounds, Wurlitzer organs, and a funhouse.
The Carousel was built in 1922 on what was often referred to as a Pleasure Pier and features 44 hand-carved horses. It was rebuilt in 1990 inside the Hippodrome. A calliope provides musical accompaniment.
The La Monica Ballroom opened on July 23, 1924. Designed by T.H. Eslick with a Spanish façade and French Renaissance interior, it was the largest dance hall on the west coast, accommodating 5,000 dancers on its 15,000-square-foot (1,400 m2) hard maple floor. Country music star Spade Cooley began broadcasting his weekly television show from the ballroom in 1948, where the enormously popular program remained until 1954. In the summer of 1955, the Hollywood Autocade opened at the La Monica with one-hundred famous and unusual cars, including Jack Benny’s Maxwell and a Rumpler Drop Car. From 1958 until 1962, the ballroom served as a roller skating rink; first as Skater's Ballroom, and later as the Santa Monica Roller Rink, where the speed skating club won many state and regional championships. The La Monica Ballroom was demolished in 1963.
The Pleasure Pier thrived during the 1920s but faded during the Great Depression. During the 1930s, the pier was mainly used as a ferry landing, while most of the amusement park facilities were closed down and its attractions sold off.[8]
The bridge and entry gate to Santa Monica Pier were built in 1938 by the federal Works Project Administration, and replaced the former grade connection.
The Newcomb Pier was privately owned until it was acquired by the city in 1974.During the 1960s and 1970s various plans were proposed that would entail removal of the pier. The strangest one called for the construction of an artificial island with a 1500-room hotel. It was approved by the City Council, but citizens formed "Save Santa Monica Bay" to preserve the pier.[11] The outstanding order to raze the pier was revoked by the city council in 1973. Within that same year, the Carousel and Hippodrome were memorable sets featured in the film The Sting, although the story was set in Chicago.
In the 1950s, Enid Newcomb suggested to family friend Morris "Pops" Gordon that his two sons, George and Eugene, purchase and operate the Pier’s arcade. It didn’t take much persuasion, for the Gordons instantly took to the Pier and ultimately made Playland Arcade into the Pier’s longest running enterprise offering the day’s contemporary games alongside those of yesterday, providing inexpensive entertainment to a diverse crowd. George’s daughters Marlene and Joanie have kept the business within the family, and the next generation of Gordons is already in training to maintain the family tradition.
In 1983, the Santa Monica Pier experienced a significant loss. On January 27, there were reported swells of 10-feet during this winter storm. When the storm was over, the lower deck of the pier was destroyed. The City of Santa Monica began repairs on March 1, 1983, when another storm rolled in. A crane which was being used to repair the west end was dragged into the water and acted as a battering ram against the pilings. Over one-third of the Pier was completely destroyed.
The City of Santa Monica created a non-profit in response to the damage and called it Santa Monica Pier Restoration Corporation (SMPRC). SMPRC conducted the daily operations of the Santa Monica Pier, such as managing events, filming, promotions, tenants, and street performers. To date, SMPRC has produced the Santa Monica Pier Paddle Board Race and the Twilight Summer Concert Series. Also, in 2011, SMPRC changed the company name to the Santa Monica Pier Corporation (SMPC).
He didn't mind the hat much, but I had to settle for this shot :)

Santa had been drinking too
much North Pole whiskey
and had left the barren icy climes
at the wrong time of year.
The winds of Spring
buffeted the jet driven sleigh
and his stomach
felt like new milk churned
in a stainless steel vat.
He now understood Nausee by
Sartre.
Existence had become the slimy bottom of a muddy rock.
It had toyed with his sensibilities
and he was ready to capitulate and
just remain at home with his live in caretaker and watch Sitcoms...

Santa-Bikers are not afraid of snow and sub-zero temperatures! Every year they will pull out their motorbikes, put on red hats and hit the streets of cities to infect with the holiday atmosphere and good humor.
A pair of new Santa Fe C40-8's are the trailing power on PIEL. The power is backing in to get its train at the West end of Conway Yard in Freedom, PA on August 16, 1992.

Wasn't sure whether to post this. One on hand, you can see two or three of my previous shots in this frame, which is something I try to avoid. On the other, I like this shot quite a bit.
So I'm posting it.
SPSF painted Santa Fe SD45-2 #5825 heads Westbound near Blue Cut on Cajon Pass in November of 1986.
I think the SPSF engines with black numberboards looked pretty cool:}

Veo un hermoso paisaje,
verde esplendoroso que envuelve todo el territorio.
Hierba, frutos y líquido de vida están en gran almacenaje,
en tanta belleza no hay mejor lugar escondido.
Aire fresco y puro se respira en la pendiente espaciosa,
precioso lago se ve desde el borde de la montaña,
se puede acariciar el cielo hasta con los mismos labios,
todo es esplendido y majestuoso en el paraíso terrenal.
Grandioso e formidable es el lago, ¿Puedes verlo?
Lleno de vida, aunque el mismo es dador de la chispa vivificante en el paisaje, arboles fuertes, formidablemente llenos de vigor y energía, años de experiencia,
purifican el mismo alimento de vida, el Oxigeno.
El canto bello de las aves es delicado y suave,
¿Puedes escucharlo? Sigilosos entre los árboles están,
belleza en todo el contorno, grandiosa creación.
Imponente Paraíso Terrenal.
