With the music : "Above and Beyond" from the Audiomachine GREATEST HITS release
A creative inspirational fantasy using stock images and images of mine. Elements modified and recreated.
The Building is the "House with Chimaeras" in Kyiv, Ukraine: An Art Nouveau building covered in animal gargoyles and grotesques.
The Polish architect Władysław Horodecki originally constructed the House with Chimaeras for use as his own upmarket apartment building during the period of 1901–1902.
Horodecki's unique architectural style earned him praise as the Antoni Gaudí of Kyiv.

ENGLISH
Kärnan (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈɕæːˈɳan]; Danish: Kernen, both literally The Core) is a medieval tower in Helsingborg, Scania, in southern Sweden. It is the only part remaining of a larger Danish fortress which, along with the fortress Kronborg on the opposite of Øresund, controlled the entranceway between Kattegat and Øresund and further south the Baltic Sea.
The origins of the Helsingborg fortress is disputed but Danish legend places its origin to the reign of the legendary King Fróði. However, this legend has not been supported by archaeological proof. Dendrochronological dating has shown that the core was built in the 1310s, when Eric VI of Denmark was King of Denmark. It was considered the most important fortress in Denmark, and was integral in securing control over the strait between Scania and Zealand.
It was surrendered to Sweden along with the rest of Skåneland as part of the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658. The fortress was retaken by Danish forces in 1676 during the Scanian War, and its capture celebrated by flying a giant Flag of Denmark above it. This flag was later captured by the Swedish army and is preserved in the Army Museum (Armémuseum) in Stockholm. The fortress returned to Swedish control by the Treaty of Lund in 1679. Charles XI of Sweden ordered most of it demolished fearing that it was too exposed to a sneak attack from Denmark. The only thing that was saved for posterity was the old medieval tower core. The tower continued to serve as a landmark for shipping through Øresund.
The castle was restored starting during 1893-94, under instructions from Oscar Ferdinand Trapp, a Swedish businessman and engineer (1847–1916). Architect for the restoration was Josef Alfred Hellerström (1863–1931), Helsingborg city architect from 1903 to 1928. The objective of the restoration was to restore, to the extent possible, the appearance the structure had based upon the oldest known medieval illustration. The building's crenellation dates from these repairs.

ESPAÑOL
Kärnan ( pronunciación sueca: [ˈɕæːˈɳan] ; danés : Kernen) es una torre medieval en Helsingborg, Scania, en el sur de Suecia. Es la única parte que queda de una fortaleza danesa más grande que, junto con la fortaleza Kronborg en el lado opuesto de Øresund, controlaba la entrada entre Kattegat y Øresund y más al sur del Mar Báltico.
Los orígenes de la fortaleza de Helsingborg son controvertidos, pero la leyenda danesa sitúa su origen en el reinado del legendario rey Fróði. Sin embargo, esta leyenda no ha sido apoyada por pruebas arqueológicas. La datación dendrocronológica ha demostrado que el núcleo se construyó en la década de 1310, cuando Eric VI de Dinamarca era el rey de Dinamarca. Fue considerada la fortaleza más importante de Dinamarca y fue fundamental para asegurar el control sobre el estrecho entre Scania y Zelandia .
Se entregó a Suecia junto con el resto de Skåneland como parte del Tratado de Roskilde en 1658. La fortaleza fue recuperada por las fuerzas danesas en 1676 durante la Guerra de Scania, y su captura se celebró volando una Bandera gigante de Dinamarca sobre ella. Esta bandera fue capturada más tarde por el ejército sueco y se conserva en el Museo del Ejército (Armémuseum) en Estocolmo. La fortaleza regresó al control sueco por el Tratado de Lund en 1679. Carlos XI de Suecia ordenó la demolición de la mayoría por temor a estar demasiado expuesto a un ataque furtivo de Dinamarca. Lo único que se guardó para la posteridad fue el antiguo núcleo de la torre medieval. La torre continuó sirviendo como un punto de referencia para el envío a través de Øresund.
El castillo fue restaurado a partir de 1893-94, siguiendo las instrucciones de Oscar Ferdinand Trapp, un empresario e ingeniero sueco (1847–1916). El arquitecto para la restauración fue Josef Alfred Hellerström (1863–1931), arquitecto de la ciudad de Helsingborg desde 1903 hasta 1928. El objetivo de la restauración era restaurar, en la medida de lo posible, la apariencia de la estructura basada en la ilustración medieval más antigua conocida. La almena del edificio data de estas reparaciones.

Surrender to everything that is. It's not to be confused with giving up. For surrendering requires at the same time the greatest courage but is expressed in the smallest shifts. Sometimes barely noticeable through our sensory perspectives considering the great change these small shifts bring about. It's a matter of scale. We sometimes feel stuck in this box where bugs are small and trees are big, forgetting how everything is relative and not everything resides inside the box. We don’t learn (or we forget) how thoughts are energy, just as much as our actions in the material world. The same goes the other way around, when we attribute too much to physical action and even feel trapped by our own inaction at times, all the while being unaware that the world is still spinning and nothing is ever standing still. Trust the process. Let the waves wash.

The ruins of Kirkham Priory are situated on the banks of the River Derwent, at Kirkham, North Yorkshire, England. The Augustinian priory was founded in the 1120s by Walter l'Espec, lord of nearby Helmsley, who also built Rievaulx Abbey. The priory was surrendered in 8 December 1539 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Legend has it that Kirkham was founded in remembrance of l'Espec's only son who had died nearby as a consequence of his horse being startled by a boar. The area was later used to test the D-Day landing vehicles, and was visited by Winston Churchill. The ruins are now Grade I listed and in the care of English Heritage.
