I hope that the efforts to combat climate change will soon regain the significance they deserve, despite the many anti-Covid activities, because they are much more crucial in the long term!

Of no great significance the subject matter's purpose here was to reveal the interplay of light and shade. What I saw at this corner was the beauty of the tonal scheme and design.
It wasn't until I received the print from the lab that I appreciated it's inherent rhythm.

The Minster of Bern, Switzerland - picture taken from the Rose Garden, where the Japanese cherry trees are in full blossom.
Bern Minster (German: Berner Münster) is a Swiss Reformed cathedral, (or minster) in the old city of Bern, Switzerland. Built in the Gothic style, its construction started in 1421. Its tower, with a height of 100.6 m (330 ft), was only completed in 1893. It is the tallest cathedral in Switzerland and is a Cultural Property of National Significance.
The Church of the Transfiguration of the Savior is a parish church in the village of Buzharovo, Istra District, Moscow Region, a cultural monument of local significance.
The first mention of a wooden church in the village of Buzharovo is found in the boundary charter of Grand Duke Ivan III on June 16, 1504. In 1512, the owner of the village, Irina Tovarkova-Pushkina, transferred Buzharovo to the Joseph-Volotsky Monastery.
Having ranted and raved annually over the past several years about the decreasing significance of this "celebration" even in the face of the increasing significance of its purpose, I thought I would post this futuristic view of what the Earth will look like for the generations that follow us. In fact, it looks very much like parts of China today, no?
I am not an optimist about humanity's ability to stem the tide(s) it has created because of our history of never addressing a problem before it's too late. Certainly that has never been truer than as it relates to our environment, and in the 45 years that has passed since the creation of this day by Senator Gaylord Nelson of my home state of Wisconsin, it has only become worse...ironically with the United States the most obvious of those few avoiding the responsibility and initiative to do anything about anything. One might assume that increasing scientific understanding would create the recognition that we are in a literal self destruct mode and a somewhat desperate reaction to correct it would be evident. But no. Clearly the monied interests are even more in control than ever and will be the parties that oversee our destiny. Cause for optimism indeed. We continue on our historic path of being the first species ever to cause its own extinction...fair retribution, methinks, given the number we carelessly continue to annihilate on a daily basis.
So Happy Earth Day. It should be our most important celebration
...for without it, there wouldn't be cause for many others, would there....

Mount Hua is a mountain located near the city of Huayin in Shaanxi province, about 120 kilometres (75 mi) east of Xi'an. It is the western mountain of the Five Great (Sacred) Mountains of China, and has a long history of religious significance.
The picture shows a passage between the north and west summits of the Huashan Massiv.
To get the inscription on the rocks together with the surroundings on the picture I made a panorama of 7 vertical shots. After composing and editing in Lightroom, I cut the panorama into 16: 9 format.

Details of the "Chile House" (Chilehaus), Hamburg.
No textbook on 20th century architecture is complete without the Chilehaus, which was built between 1922 and 1924 by Fritz Höger and is regarded as an icon of architectural expressionism. Its significance as such derives from both the characteristic detailing of its brick façades and its striking shape – the way it spans Fischertwiete; its curved, S-shaped façade on the Meßberg side; and, above all, its eastern tip, which recalls the prow of a ship.
Furthermore, by exploiting the construction possibilities offered by reinforced concrete, and combining them with traditional brickwork, Höger developed in the Chilehaus a modern, ground-breaking building structure. With virtually unsurpassable virtuoso design and craftsmanship, he created a modern style of brick office-building architecture, the like of which the world had never seen.
Höger achieved this by using both the marked mirroring and reflective effect of the irregularly fired clinker bricks and the tightly packed sequence of the pillars, required by the internal floor plan, for the artistic design of the façades. Inside, the building provided flexibility with the division of floor space, vital for a modern rented office building, and could therefore be adapted to the needs of different users. In oblique view, the tightly packed sequence of pillars gives the impression of a calm, apparently windowless expanse of wall, which heightens the monumental feel of the building. The brick piers protruding from the façade at a 45°-angle follow their own internal rhythm, with the rotation of every seventh layer of bricks, so that when closely observed from an angle a diagonal pattern can be seen on the wall of pillars.
a special significance by the mark of a personality :-)

Sargans Castle is a castle in the municipality of Sargans of the Canton of St. Gallen in Switzerland. It is a Swiss heritage site of national significance.
The castle was the seat of the counts of Werdenberg-Sargans in the 13th century. Since 1899, it has been run by the local church and now houses the Sarganserland museum.
Beginning in 982 the Sargans region was part of the lands of the Counts of Bregenz. In 1160, the male line of the Counts of Bregenz died out. Count palatine Hugo of Türbingen inherited most of their lands, through his wife Elisabeth.
His son, Hugo, inherited the Bregenz lands around Lake Constance, including Sargans. This Hugo, who adopted the name Montfort und Werdenberg built or expanded Sargans Castle before his death in 1228. Excavations around the oldest part of the castle show that there was an earlier fort or castle, but nothing is known about that building. Hugo built the large bergfried, expanded the walls to the west and may have built a palas on that side of the castle.
In the mid-13th century the Montfort und Werdenberg lands were divided between Hugo of Werdenberg-Heiligenberg and his brother Hartmann of Werdenberg-Sargans. Hartmann took up residence in the castle and probably expanded the palas. The castle was first mentioned in 1282. Over the following century the wealth and lands of the Counts of Werdenberg-Sargans were divided over and over again between descendants. By the last 14th century, Count Johann I ruled over a small and poor county under the Habsburgs. In the Battle of Näfels in 1388, the count commanded a wing of the Austrian army that was supposed to cross the Kerenzerberg Pass. However, when he saw the threatened destruction of the main Austrian army, he fled back over the pass. The cost of the war, as well as other expenses forced Johann I to sell the castle and village to Leopold of Austria.

Sagrada Família, Barcelona, España.
El Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia, conocido simplemente como la Sagrada Familia, es una basílica católica de Barcelona (España), diseñada por el arquitecto Antoni Gaudí. Iniciada en 1882, todavía está en construcción (noviembre de 2016). Es la obra maestra de Gaudí, y el máximo exponente de la arquitectura modernista catalana.
La Sagrada Familia es un reflejo de la plenitud artística de Gaudí: trabajó en ella durante la mayor parte de su carrera profesional, pero especialmente en los últimos años de su carrera, donde llegó a la culminación de su estilo naturalista, haciendo una síntesis de todas las soluciones y estilos probados hasta aquel entonces. Gaudí logró una perfecta armonía en la interrelación entre los elementos estructurales y los ornamentales, entre plástica y estética, entre función y forma, entre contenido y continente, logrando la integración de todas las artes en un todo estructurado y lógico.
La Sagrada Familia tiene planta de cruz latina, de cinco naves centrales y transepto de tres naves, y ábside con siete capillas. Ostenta tres fachadas dedicadas al Nacimiento, Pasión y Gloria de Jesús y, cuando esté concluida, tendrá 18 torres: cuatro en cada portal haciendo un total de doce por los apóstoles, cuatro sobre el crucero invocando a los evangelistas, una sobre el ábside dedicada a la Virgen y la torre-cimborio central en honor a Jesús, que alcanzará los 172,5 metros de altura. El templo dispondrá de dos sacristías junto al ábside, y de tres grandes capillas: la de la Asunción en el ábside y las del Bautismo y la Penitencia junto a la fachada principal; asimismo, estará rodeado de un claustro pensado para las procesiones y para aislar el templo del exterior. Gaudí aplicó a la Sagrada Familia un alto contenido simbólico, tanto en arquitectura como en escultura, dedicando a cada parte del templo un significado religioso.
The Expiatory Church of the Sagrada Familia, known simply as the Sagrada Familia, is a Roman Catholic basilica in Barcelona, Spain, designed by architect Antoni Gaudí. Begun in 1882, it is still under construction (November 2016). It is Gaudí's masterpiece and the greatest exponent of Catalan modernist architecture.
The Sagrada Familia is a reflection of Gaudí's artistic plenitude: he worked on it for most of his professional career, but especially in his later years, where he reached the culmination of his naturalistic style, synthesizing all the solutions and styles he had tried up to that point. Gaudí achieved perfect harmony in the interrelationship between structural and ornamental elements, between plasticity and aesthetics, between function and form, between content and container, achieving the integration of all the arts into a structured and logical whole. The Sagrada Familia has a Latin cross plan, five central naves, a three-aisled transept, and an apse with seven chapels. It boasts three façades dedicated to the Birth, Passion, and Glory of Jesus. When completed, it will have 18 towers: four at each portal, making a total of twelve for the apostles, four over the transept invoking the evangelists, one over the apse dedicated to the Virgin, and the central dome tower in honor of Jesus, which will reach 172.5 meters in height. The temple will have two sacristies next to the apse and three large chapels: the Assumption Chapel in the apse and the Baptism and Penance Chapels next to the main façade. It will also be surrounded by a cloister designed for processions and to isolate the temple from the exterior. Gaudí applied a highly symbolic content to the Sagrada Familia, both in architecture and sculpture, dedicating each part of the temple to a religious significance.
The first attempt to replace the wooden fort with a stone kremlin was recorded in 1374, but construction was limited to a single tower, known as the Dmitrovskaya Tower (this has not survived). Under the rule of Ivan III, Nizhny Novgorod played the role of a guard city, having a permanent garrison; it served as a place for gathering troops for Moscow’s actions against the Khanate of Kazan. In order to strengthen the defenses of the city, construction works on the walls began again.
Construction of the stone Kremlin of Nizhny Novgorod began in 1500 with the building of the Ivanovskaya Tower; the main work commenced in 1508 and by 1515 a grandiose building was completed. The oak walls that formed the old fortifications were destroyed by a huge fire in 1513. The two kilometer wall was reinforced by 13 towers (one of them – Zachatskaya – was on the shore of the Volga; not preserved, but was rebuilt in 2012). This “Stone City” had a permanent garrison with solid artillery weapons. With the fall of Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin lost its military significance, and later it housed the city and provincial authorities.

During the World War II, the roofs of the Taynitskaya, the Severnaya, and the Chasovaya Towers were dismantled and anti-aircraft machine guns were installed on the upper platforms. Thus, the fortress defended the airspace of the city from the Luftwaffe. The Luftwaffe bombed the Kanavinsky Bridge and the Fair, but the Kremlin's air defense defended these objects.
The Council of Ministers of the RSFSR issued an order on January 30, 1949 for the restoration of the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin.
In October 2018, archaeologists discovered the remains of a medieval settlement and cemetery on the site of the destroyed church of St. Simeon Stylites. The finds belong to the 13th century, and the most ancient cultural layer - to 1221, when Nizhny Novgorod was founded. After all the excavations, the exhibits will be museified, and the church of St. Simeon the Stylite will be recreated at this place.
In 2021, before the 800th anniversary of Nizhny Novgorod, a major restoration was carried out. Under its terms, the most important thing was the restoration of the historic "battle road" inside the Kremlin wall. The city had been waiting for this event for 230 years. Since August 2021, locals and tourists can walk a full circular route along the large fortress wall while inside it. Its length is 2 km.
In the past, the significance of Bangkok and Ayutthaya was due to their stratagic locations on the banks of the river. As ports of call frequented by mercantile ships from foreign lands, these two major towns prospered and bacame trading centers for international trade and communications in addition to their status as the kingdom's capital cities.
From Ayutthaya and Bangkok, ships were built locally left with goods from Thailand to be sold overseas. In the old days. Thai junks like this used to be moored along the banks of the Chao Phraya River from the estuary in Samut Prakan Province all the way up to Bangkok. They gradually disappeared some 50 years ago.
Schloss Laufen is a castle in the municipality of Laufen-Uhwiesen in the Swiss canton of Zurich. It is a Swiss heritage site of national significance overlooking the Rhine Falls.
The first documented reference to the castle dates to the year 858 when it was the home of the Barons of Laufen. It passed through several owners until the Old Zürich War (1439-1450) when the castle was acquired by the Fulach family, from whom the city of Zurich bought the castle in 1544. Following the Helvetic Republic (1798–1803) the castle was once again in private ownership, with the city of Zurich reacquiring the castle by buying it again in 1941.
The castle now serves as a tourist attraction, and contains a restaurant and a youth hostel. The Rheinfall railway line passes through a tunnel under the castle, halting at the Schloss Laufen am Rheinfall station to the south of the tunnel and beneath the castle walls.

Originally, this was a somewhat uninteresting close-up mobile photo of an old metal scale taken during the winter in Arizona.
Using GIMP, the image was converted to B&W and processed with an illusion map and then a displacement map to add distortion.
Subsequently, in Darktable, a light grain was added and the contrast was bumped to finish the "Weighed Significance" of the image. Happy Slider Sunday!
St Cuthbert's Church in Ackworth has a rich history dating back to the Anglo-Saxon period. Here are some key points:
Origins: The church is named after St Cuthbert, the monk and sixth Bishop of Lindisfarne, who died in 688. His body was carried from place to place by monks to escape the Danes, and Ackworth was one of the resting places.
Norman Conquest: After the Norman Conquest, the church came into the hands of the Norman family of de Lacy. The village became part of the Honour of Pontefract until Stuart times1.
Architecture: The oldest part of the current church is the 14th-century tower, which stands 68 feet tall and contains a peal of six bells. The church was restored in 1852 after a fire damaged the nave and chancel.
Historical Significance: The church has records dating back to 1558, which can be invaluable for tracing family trees. It has been part of various dioceses over the centuries, including Lincoln, York, Wakefield, and now Leeds.
In Franken gibt es noch sogenannten Streuobstwiesen, die der Obsterzeugung dienen und, da die Bäume locker stehen, zugleich als Grünland („Unternutzung“), entweder als Mähwiese zur Heugewinnung oder direkt als Viehweide. Die ökologische Bedeutung ist enorm und unbestritten.

In Franconia there are still the so-called meadow orchards, which are used for fruit production and, as the trees are at a greater distance from each other, also as grassland ("under-use"), either as a meadow for haymaking or directly as pasture. The ecological significance is enormous and unquestioned.
