The girraffe - gloriously spooky!
A Son et Lumiere show at the Oxford University Museum to celebrate its 150th birthaday.
Shamus and I had our wedding reception here, and although it was wonderful our light show didn't quite stretch to this!
Tu trochę lepiej czuć atmosferę. Szczególnie jak się uwzględni, iż zrobiono sobie show na grobach ich władców. Ale 4 tysiącie lat historii nadal czuć :).
A dinner and Sound & Light Show in the Colorado River. The dinner was surprisingly good, but the show was disappointing. Save your money for a nice restaurant.
Our 2013 summer vacation consisted of taking the Amtrack California Zephyr train from San Francisco to Green River, Utah. Hiking Arches National Park, Dead Horse Park, and Canyonlands State Park. Then hopping back on the train and taking it to Denver where we would tour the Rocky Mountain National Park. All in one week.
Chaudière Falls, Ottawa - Mìwà te sound-and-light show – In the Algonquin language, Mìwà te means 'dazzled by a light or fire. This show is designed as a tribute to Indigenous people and was created in collaboration with the Algonquins of Pikwà kanagà n First Nation (although there is some controversy regarding the use of this sacred site for this purpose). The lights illuminating the falls were accompanied by a 'soundscape' which included drumming, melodic chanting and whispers of Aboriginal youth reciting in Anishinaabe, the language of the Algonquin people.

Chartres Cathedral
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chartres Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartres (French: Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres), is a Roman Catholic church of the Latin Church located in Chartres, France, about 80 km (50 miles) southwest of Paris. The current cathedral, mostly constructed between 1194 and 1220, is the last of at least five which have occupied the site since the town became a bishopric in the 4th century. It is in the Gothic and Romanesque styles.
It is designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, which calls it "the high point of French Gothic art" and a "masterpiece".[2]
The cathedral has been well preserved. The majority of the original stained glass windows survived intact, while the architecture has seen only minor changes since the early 13th century. The building's exterior is dominated by heavy flying buttresses which allowed the architects to increase the window size significantly, while the west end is dominated by two contrasting spires – a 105-metre (349 ft) plain pyramid completed around 1160 and a 113-metre (377 ft) early 16th-century Flamboyant spire on top of an older tower. Equally notable are the three great façades, each adorned with hundreds of sculpted figures illustrating key theological themes and narratives.
Since at least the 12th century the cathedral has been an important destination for travelers. It remains so to the present, attracting large numbers of Christian pilgrims, many of whom come to venerate its famous relic, the Sancta Camisa, said to be the tunic worn by the Virgin Mary at Christ's birth, as well as large numbers of secular tourists who come to admire the cathedral's architecture and historical merit
Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres
La cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres est le monument emblématique du chef-lieu du département d'Eure-et-Loir, située à 80 kilomètres au sud-ouest de Paris. Elle est traditionnellement considérée comme la cathédrale gothique la plus représentative, la plus complète ainsi que la mieux conservée de France par ses sculptures, vitraux et dallage pour la plupart d'origine, bien qu'elle soit construite avec les techniques de l'architecture romane montrant ainsi la continuité et non la rupture entre ces deux types d'architecture.
L'actuelle cathédrale, de style gothique dit « classique », a été construite au début du XIIIe siècle, pour la majeure partie en trente ans, sur les ruines d'une précédente cathédrale romane, détruite lors d'un incendie en 1194. Grand lieu de pèlerinage, elle domine la ville de Chartres et la plaine de la Beauce, se dévoilant au regard à plus de dix kilomètres de distance.
L’édifice fait l’objet d’un classement au titre des monuments historiques par son recensement sur la liste de 18621. Par ailleurs, il est parmi les premiers monuments inscrits sur la liste du patrimoine mondial par l'UNESCO en 1979.
La Catedral de la Asunción de Nuestra Señora (en francés: Cathédrale de l'Assomption de Notre-Dame), es una iglesia catedralicia de culto católico bajo la advocación de Nuestra Señora en la ciudad de Chartres, en el departamento de Eure y Loir, en Francia, a unos 80 km al suroeste de la capital, ParÃs. Asimismo es la sede de la Diócesis de Chartres, en la Archidiócesis de Tours.
Esta catedral marcó un hito en el desarrollo del gótico e inició una fase de plenitud en el dominio de la técnica y el estilo gótico, estableciendo un equilibrio entre ambos. Es sumamente influyente en muchas construcciones posteriores que se basaron en su estilo y sus numerosas innovaciones, como las catedrales de Reims y Amiens a las que sirvió de modelo directo.
La figura más importante en la historia de esta diócesis fue el obispo Fulberto de Chartres, teólogo escolástico reconocido en toda Europa.
En 1979 fue declarada Patrimonio cultural de la Humanidad por la Unesco.
