Bonjour !
Félicitations ! La photo Fanari and its castle blue hour Panorama que vous avez ajoutée au groupe Urlaub auf Flickr a été sélectionnée en tant que photo de couverture.
Fanari is a village in Karditsa, Greece,located on the end of a series of hills extending into the Thessalian plain northwest of Karditsa, and commands a broad view of the surrounding area.[3] The current settlement dates to the later Middle Ages, but is located on the ruins of the ancient city of Ithome, which survived until early Byzantine times.His castle, a plain structure on a circular plateau some 100 m across, is well preserved to this day. It features five square towers, and a strong gate-tower on its western side, while a cistern and remains of a barracks survive in the interior. Source:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanari,_Karditsa

Edlingham Castle dates mainly from the 14th century, although a manor house of the 13th century is probably concealed beneath the later building. The earliest standing remains are those of the hall house, built about in 1300 by Sir William Felton at a time when Northumberland was relatively peaceful.
Felton was a member of an important family with estates in Norfolk and Shropshire but he had made his fortune independently through military service, royal favour and marriage to a Northumberland heiress, Constance de Pontrop.
His successors made extensive improvements to the manor house. In about 1340–50 his son, also named William, improved domestic comfort by building a magnificent solar tower, the best preserved part of the castle. As the Anglo-Scottish wars continued, he also strengthened the defences with a gate tower and stone curtain wall. Towards the end of the 14th century William’s grandson, John, completed the enclosure walls and enlarged the gatehouse.
Later owners of the estate included the Hastings and Swinburne families. The Feltons had traditionally been royal officials and soldiers but their successors were primarily local gentry, with less need for military display or effective defence.
The castle was abandoned as a dwelling in the mid-17th century and by the 1660s was being quarried for building stone. At the end of the 19th century only the tower was still visible amid grassy mounds. Since 1975 the remains have been in the guardianship and ownership of the state. They were excavated between 1978 and 1982.
It is a watering hole for animals that I found in a hotel hidden inside the massif of Montseny, natural park.
Since this area can not build anything new, it is a thirteenth century farmhouse that has been restored inside and retains its original exterior but some element that formerly were to be used, have now become as decorative.
The trough, centuries old, is carved into a rock of a single piece without joints or additions of any kind so it can remain intact for many centuries more.
White spots produced by lime and red by the iron that contains the water give it an exceptional coloring.
In pictures to come, I will tell the story of how I found this hotel that, although I have it relatively close, I found it by chance because it is impossible to see it from afar.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Es un abrevadero para animales que encontré en un hotel escondido dentro del macizo del Montseny, parque natural.
Ya que en esta zona no se puede construir nada nuevo, se trata de una masía del siglo XIII que ha sido restaurada interiormente y conserva su estado original exterior pero algunos elemento que antiguamente debian ser utilizados, ahora han quedado como decorativos.
El abrevadero, con siglos de antigüedad, esta labrado en una roca de una sola pieza sin uniones ni añadidos de ninguna clase por lo que puede mantenerse intacto durante muchos siglos mas.
Manchas blancas producidas por la cal y rojas por el hierro que contiene el agua le dan un colorido excepcional.
En fotografías venideras, contaré la historia de cómo encontré este hotel que si bien lo tengo relativamente cerca, lo encontré por pura casualidad ya que es imposible verlo desde lejos.

Ψαλμός κβ΄ (22ος) Psalm (22nd)
Κύριος ποιμαίνει με καὶ οὐδέν με ὑστερήσει.
εἰς τόπον χλόης, ἐκεῖ με κατεσκήνωσεν, ἐπὶ ὕδατος ἀναπαύσεως ἐξέθρεψέ με,
τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐπέστρεψεν. ὡδήγησέ με ἐπὶ τρίβους δικαιοσύνης ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματος αὐτοῦ.
ἐὰν γὰρ καὶ πορευθῶ ἐν μέσῳ σκιᾶς θανάτου, οὐ φοβηθήσομαι κακά, ὅτι σὺ μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ εἶ· ἡ ῥάβδος σου καὶ ἡ βακτηρία σου, αὗταί με παρεκάλεσαν.
ἡτοίμασας ἐνώπιόν μου τράπεζαν, ἐξεναντίας τῶν θλιβόντων με· ἐλίπανας ἐν ἐλαίῳ τὴν κεφαλήν μου, καὶ τὸ ποτήριόν σου μεθύσκον με ὡσεὶ κράτιστον.
καὶ τὸ ἔλεός σου καταδιώξει με πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ζωῆς μου, καὶ τὸ κατοικεῖν με ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου εἰς μακρότητα ἡμερῶν.
Here and there in some parts of England, one can come upon an old inn such as this one. Thisone has been painted by the DD Generator.
This is the site of the medieval settlement of Appleton, which was mentioned in the Domesday Book, and gradually deserted over the medieval period. St Mary's Church is in ruins, although the round tower is still standing. The church dates back to the Late Saxon period, and contains reused Roman building material. There is a holy well in the churchyard. A chantry chapel of St Katherine was founded here in the 14th century, although no standing remains of it are visible. A 17th century estate map shows a large manor house, surrounded by a double moat, as well as a substantial farmstead to the southeast. The moat and the farm survive as earthworks.
The ruined round tower remains standing and is a Grade II* listed building.

Κάστρο του Αλή Πασά
Το Κάστρο του Αλή Πασά
βρίσκεται σε ένα ύψωμα ανάμεσα από τα χωριά Ανθούσα και Αγιά, 5 χιλιόμετρα βόρεια της Πάργας. Πρόκειται για ένα ογκώδες και επιβλητικό κτίριο, που χτίστηκε το 1814 υπό την εποπτεία του Ιταλού μηχανικού Monteleone, με στόχο να αποτελέσει το ορμητήριο του Αλή Πασά κατά την πολιορκία της Πάργας. Το Κάστρο έχει διατηρηθεί σε πολύ καλή κατάσταση, ζωντανεύοντας τις εικόνες της εποχής εκείνης στους επισκέπτες του. Κατά την περιήγησή σας θα δείτε τις υπόγειες δεξαμενές, την πυριταποθήκη και τα δωμάτια του Αλή Πασά, με το τζάκι και τα ερμάρια. Στη βόρεια πλευρά του υπάρχουν δύο προμαχώνες και ζεματίστρα για να προστατεύουν την είσοδο. Σώζονται επίσης και τμήματα του περίδρομου, με απομεινάρια από ρωσικά και αγγλικά πυροβόλα. Η τοποθεσία προσφέρει μία εκπληκτική θέα στα νησιά του Ιονίου και μία καλή ιδέα είναι να το επισκεφθείτε με το τρενάκι που ξεκινάει από την παραλία της Πάργας, που δίνει τη δυνατότητα μιας απολαυστικής διαδρομής. Τις νύχτες το κάστρο φωτίζεται, προσφέροντας ένα φαντασμαγορικό θέαμα.
Castle of Ali Pasha
The castle of Ali Pasha is located on a hill between the villages Anthousa and Agia, 5 km north of Parga. This is a massive and imposing building, built in 1814 under the supervision of the Italian engineer Monteleone, aiming to be the base of Ali Pasha during the siege of Parga. The castle has been preserved in very good condition, conjuring images of that time to its guests. During the tour you will see the underground tanks, the pyritapothiki and rooms of Ali Pasha, with fireplace and cabinets. On the north side of the two and ramparts to protect the entrance. also preserved parts of the devil, with remains of Russian and English guns. The location offers a breathtaking view to the Ionian islands and a good idea is to visit the train that starts from the beach of Parga, enabling an enjoyable journey. At night the illuminated castle, offering a spectacular sight.

Coed y Moch Lodge (aka Garthbledden Lodge or Clock Lodge) was built by “Yr Hen Syr Robert” between 1794 and 1818 (as a lodge is shown on an 1818 estate map, but not on one dated 1794). The lodge was the main (southern) entrance to the original driveway which ran just under a mile to Nannau. Nannau estate, Eryri, Gwynedd, Wales.
Coed y Moch is Welsh for “Wood of the Pigs”, as it was probably where the estate pigs would be let out to forage in the natural oak woodland. The lodge and wall are Grade II listed.
The original hands of the clock were set to six minutes to five, indicating that a traveller was always in time for a meal. The clock is no longer there, being replaced with a painted one set to the same time.
Cet édifice universitaire est située au 15 King's College Circle, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Une vue à partir de la vaste pelouse surnommée "Front Campus".
Datant de 1859, cet imposant édifice néo-roman domine justement la bordure nord de cette pelouse.
The ruined keep of Hopton Castle, just outside the small village of Hopton Castle (South Shropshire, in the Welsh Borders region of western England), on a mostly sunny morning at the beginning of June 2015.
The castle originated as an Anglo-Norman site, located by an earlier settlement -- there had been a late Anglo-Saxon manor there. The keep, all that remains, has Anglo-Norman features of the 11th or 12th century, but it may have been built during the 1260s (1264 being the date of the earliest surviving written record of it) in a deliberately "archaic" style. During the "English" Civil War (which actually involved Wales, Scotland, and Ireland as well as England), it was held by Parliamentarians until it was taken by Royalists during a fierce siege in 1644. The part of the structure that survived the siege subsequently fell into disrepair and ruin. A restoration project begun in 2006 shored up walls, conserved plaster, added railings for safety, and provided explanatory panels; the restored site opened to the public in December 2011.
Hopton Castle is located in a quiet valley off a side road not far from the border between southwestern Shropshire and northwestern Herefordshire.

Shell, Big Horn County, Wyoming
The Shell Lodge was built in 1896 by two English pioneers on their way to claim their fortune in the California gold rush after serving for the English Army in India. They contracted Swiss masons to build this first, and nearly only, local building made out of locally mined river sandstone. The original owners sold the store in 1926, because people had begun to buy automobiles and were able to travel and shop in nearby Greybull. The Shell Store was kept open as mercantile store until 2005.
The lodge was purchased in 2006 by a Belgian family, who were managing the nearby Hideout Lodge & Guest Ranch. They renovated the Lodge and the large yard (now a private park) on its east side.
This year (2020) a new owners, Kevin & Emily, finished another renovation and opened The Shell Store. The photo above shows the new look. They have good food. Stop by and say hi to them.
It is true that this afternoon threat of rain. Dense and dark clouds were walking in the Scottish sky warning me that at any time could decide to overturn their bulky and wet water load.
At the end of the day, they fulfilled his threat and astutely, waited until I was profoundly sick and tired of wandering around the old Scottish town, when suddenly they opened their gates and let go over me, all the seas water that had endured all day leaving me soaked through the eyelashes.
But....
I was walking alone through the old center of Edinburgh and more specifically by its most emblematic street, Royal Mile, I found this curious Gothic cathedral.
I say curious because it seems it was built or started to build in the XII century, building it on a sanctuary of the IX century as a Catholic church, but later with the Protestant Reformation, became the mother of Scottish Presbyterianism church. Currently, it is not a cathedral, because it is not Catholic nor has Bishop.
Although the British fires, and subsequent reconstructions in various and different styles, still retains its original name. His way of plant initial in cross, has disappeared with later reconstructions and modifications. Its present appearance dates from the fifteenth century.
In the photo, I show one of the side chapels that I could shoot without anyone stop me.
Thanks to God.

Es cierto que la tarde amenazaba lluvia, densos y oscuros nubarrones paseaban por el cielo escocés advirtiéndome que en cualquier momento podían tomar la decisión de volcar su voluminosa y húmeda carga de agua.
Al final del día, cumplieron con su amenaza y astutamente esperaron a que yo estuviera profundamente cansado y harto de vagabundear por la vieja ciudad escocesa cuando, subitamente abrieron sus compuertas y soltaron sobre mí, todos los mares de agua que habían soportado durante todo el día dejándome empapado hasta las pestañas.
Pero.....
Paseando solo por el centro antiguo de Edimburgo y mas concretamente por su calle más emblemática, Royal Mile (la milla real), encontré esta curiosa catedral gótica.
Digo curiosa, porque parece ser que se construyo o se empezó a construir en el siglo XII edificándola sobre un santuario del siglo IX como iglesia católica, pero posteriormente con la reforma protestante, pasó a ser la iglesia madre del Presbiterianismo escocés y su título de catedral, ya no debería ser tal, ya que ni es católica, ni existe el obispo correspondiente.
A pesar de los incendios ingleses, y sus posteriores reconstrucciones en estilos variados y distintos, sigue conservando su nombre original. Su forma de planta en cruz inicial, si que ha desaparecido con las posteriores reconstrucciones y modificaciones. Su aspecto actual, data de siglo XV.
En la foto, muestro una de sus capillas laterales que pude fotografiar sin que nadie me lo impidiera.
Menoa mal.
As historical data from its foundation and construction are extensively detailed in Wiquipedia, I will not bore you by repeating in this commentary which says the online encyclopedia.
Suffice it to know that its construction is dated between the VIII and IX centuries and both Abbey and adjacent buildings have been declared world heritage.
For anyone visiting Lower Normandy, this is a compulsory visit as is unmatched worldwide.
When I was in, around, still they were protected by a dam that prevented normal operation of the tides, so it was surrounded by beaches and green meadows.
I think to restore normalcy, the dam has been destroyed, so now, the adjacent area is completely flooded by the sea and is only accessible by the road linking the village with the abbey.
My personal experience was not as pleasant as it should have been, since the huge number of visitors and my condition slightly handicapped came to scare me because while in the streets I could move more or less freely, all converging on the stairs the abbey. Slowly, they were separating me from my wife and I was alone with only the support of my stick, but I was afraid for my physical integrity as any push could give me on the floor.
I finally got to meet my wife and everything ends happily, but those few moments of panic, do not avoid anyone.
I know it's one of the most photographed places in the world. this is just my humble version.
PLEASE, CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO SEE IT BIGGER. THANKS.

Ya que los datos históricos de su fundación y construcción están ampliamente detallados en Wiquipedia, no voy a cansaros repitiendo en este comentario lo que dice la enciclopedia virtual.
Bástenos saber que su construcción está datada entre los siglos VIII y IX y que tanto la abadía como los edificios adyacentes están declarados patrimonio de la humanidad.
Para cualquiera que visite la baja Normandía, esta es una visita obligatoria pues no tiene paragón en todo el mundo.
Cuando yo estuve, aun estaban sus alrededores protegidos por un dique que impedía el normal funcionamiento de las mareas, por lo que estaba rodeado de arenales y prados verdes.
Creo que para recuperar la normalidad, el dique ha sido destruido, por lo que actualmente, la zona adyacente se encuentra completamente inundada por el mar y solo es accesible por la carretera que une el pueblo con la abadía.
Mi experiencia personal, no fue todo lo agradable que debía haber sido, ya que la ingente cantidad de visitantes y mi condición de minusválido ligero llegaron a asustarme ya que si bien en las callejuelas se podía circular más o menos libremente, todos convergen en las escaleras de la abadía. Lentamente, fueron separándome de mi esposa y me quedé solo con el único apoyo de mi bastón, pero temí por mi integridad física ya que cualquier empujón podía dar conmigo por los suelos.
Finalmente conseguí reunirme con mi esposa y todo acabó felizmente, pero aquellos pocos instantes de pánico, no me los quita nadie.
Sé que es uno de los lugares más fotografiados del mundo. esta es solo mi humilde versión.

This is a natural bridge on top of which the village of Puentedey was built. This village comprises some medieval buildings, and is located in the province of Burgos, Castilla-León, Spain.
The photo shows the sun just hiding behind the stone buildings constructed on the bridge, just before sunset. I waited for the warm sunset light to hit the trees behind the bridge, under the arch, to obtain an effective view.
The photo was produced from the HDR combination of three RAW exposures, with minor additional curve adjustments and colour balancing.
Thank you for your visits, appreciated faves and valuable comments.

Es recomendable ampliarla para ver bien los detalles.
This is the photograph I was missing to complete the monastery of Los Jeronimos in Lisbon. Besides, I think it's worth seeing it in detail that would not have been seen if I included it in the whole monastery.
The crowd grouped in front of the door was huge, so I was forced to lift the camera above my head and shoot several photos by eye. Finally in the foreground appeared an infinity of heads, reason why I have been forced to cut half a door. I do not think it matters.
The immense quality and quantity of sculptures that adorn it, well worth it.
In the edition, I have tried to enhance the detail to the maximum so that it can be seen in all its splendidly beautifully preserved beauty.
Some may think that the Manueline style is excessively overburdened, but we should understand that in the days when this style prevailed, money in the hands of absolutist kings did not matter. Dozens of anonymous sculptors could be allowed to work in their buildings for years because they thought history would remind them of their works. And in fact, it is.
This is the penultimate photo of the Lisbon series because I still have the cloister. But that is another topic.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is advisable to enlarge it to see the details.
Esta es la fotografía que me faltaba para completar el monasterio de Los Jerónimos de Lisboa. Además, creo que merece la pena verla con detalle que no hubiera salido si la incluyo en el conjunto.
El gentío agrupado frente a la puerta era enorme, por lo que me vi obligado a levantar la cámara por encima de mi cabeza i disparar varias fotos a ojo. Finalmente en primer plano salían una infinidad de cabezas, por lo que me he visto obligado a recortar media puerta. No creo que importe.
La inmensa calidad y cantidad de esculturas que la adornan, bien merece la pena.
En la edición, he tratado de realzar el detalle al máximo para que se pueda contemplar en toda su esplendida belleza magníficamente conservada.
Quizá, algunos opinen que el estilo manuelino es excesivamente recargado, pero deberíamos comprender que en los tiempos en los que este estilo prevalecía, el dinero en manos de reyes absolutistas, no importaba. Podían permitirse decenas de anónimos artesanos escultores trabajando en sus edificios durante años pues pensaban que la historia les recordaría por sus obras. Y en el fondo, así es.
Esta es la penúltima foto de la seria Lisboa pues aun me queda el claustro. Pero esto ya es otro tema.

A small café in the hamlet of Kilmurvy, on the island of Inishmore in the Aran Islands (County Galway, off the coast of western Ireland), as the sun breaks through during a mostly cloudy morning in mid-September 2013. It is located in a traditional thatched, whitewashed stone cottage, brightened up with flower baskets and painted benches.
Inishmore -- in Irish, Inis Mhór or Inis Mór ("Big Island") or, more officially, Árainn -- is, as its name implies, the largest of the Aran Islands (Irish: Oileáin Árann). It is the most easily accessible, as well. Despite the availability of flights and a ferry, however, it still retains an aura of separateness as well as the local Aran dialect, customs, and traditions.
Kilmurvy -- in Irish, Cill Mhuirbhigh -- lies below Dun Aengus. In Irish, the mostly prehistoric hillfort's name is Dún Aonghasa. It is thought to have been constructed in more than one stage, beginning in the Late Bronze Age (LBA) primarily during the Iron Age and early medieval period -- from approximately 1100 BC to 500 BC, with subsequent changes up to the late first millennium AD. Like the modern walls, it was built using drystone walls It is one of a number of prehistoric fortified sites on the Aran Islands; it is also the best known, both for its size and for its precipitous location at the top of a cliff that plunges into the Atlantic Ocean. (Information from the panels at the site's Visitor Centre, provided by Heritage Ireland.)
Geologically, the Aran Islands are a continuation of the limestone karst landscape of the Burren, which is on mainland Ireland to the east. Their thin soil has been laboriously built up by hand to create small fields, which are typically separated by drystone walls (walls built without mortar, just stones).
