Cette petite bâtisse, certainement un transformateur EDF, présente, sur fond de briques rouge, un ensemble de personnages qui s’associe en une fresque bien agréable.
La structure de 80 mètres de long sur 16 mètres de haut, est composée de quelque 35.000 planches en bois de toutes les couleurs.
L'oeuvre monumentale éphémère d'Arne Quinze " The Passenger", érigée tout près de la Grand-Place de Mons en ouverture du projet culturel "Mons 2015, Capitale européenne de la Culture" a été entièrement démontée à partir du 12 avril 2021.
"Pour l'artiste, le vide créé par l'oeuvre une fois enlevée fait partie intégrante de sa démarche artistique", a indiqué la Fondation Mons 2025. "Le vide est comme un point de départ d'une nouvelle façon de penser à la manière de rendre nos espaces publics plus diversifiés". Comme annoncé lors de sa conception, les composants de "The Passenger" seront recyclés: le bois utilisé dans la structure sera transformé en pâte à papier et les vis seront récupérées.
The structure, 80 meters long and 16 meters high, is made up of some 35,000 wooden planks of all colors.
The ephemeral monumental work of Arne Quinze "The Passenger", erected near the Grand-Place in Mons at the opening of the cultural project "Mons 2015, European Capital of Culture" has been completely dismantled from April 12, 2021.
"For the artist, the void created by the work once removed is an integral part of his artistic approach," said the Mons 2025 Foundation. "The void is like a starting point for a new way of thinking about the way of making our public spaces more diversified ". As announced during its design, the components of "The Passenger" will be recycled: the wood used in the structure will be transformed into paper pulp and the screws will be recovered.
Es uno de los jardines más bonitos e impresionantes de Madeira.
Su historia se remonta al siglo XVIII con la "Quinta do Prazer". A finales del siglo XIX, el anterior propietario construyó una casa palaciega, rodeada de verdes jardines, que posteriormente se transformó en un hotel llamado "Monte Palace Hotel". En 1987 fue adquirido por el empresario José Manuel Rodrigues Berardo con el objetivo de preservar este espacio.
El Monte Palace Madeira - Jardín Tropical ocupa una superficie de 70 000 m2 y fue reforestado con plantas exóticas procedentes de varios continentes: cícadas, proteas, clivias y hortensias de Sudáfrica, azaleas de Bélgica, orquídeas del Himalaya, brezo de Escocia, secuoyas de América, acacias de Australia y olivos milenarios de Alqueva, Portugal, entre otros.
Parte del jardín ha sido reforestado con plantas características de la Laurissilva, que fue clasificada por la Unesco como Patrimonio Natural Mundial en 2000. Entre las plantas de este bosque endémico, podemos encontrar: el laurel (laurus novocanariensis); el laurel de Madeira (ocotea foetens); la caoba de Madeira (persea indica); el barbusano de Madeira (apollonias barbujana); la haya (myrica faya); el lirio de los valles (clethra arborea); el cedro de Madeira (juniperus cedrus); la moca de Madeira (pittosporum coriaceum), una especie en peligro de extinción, entre otras.
La exuberante vegetación rodea enormes lagunas repletas de carpas koi, que ofrecen a los visitantes un agradable espectáculo, debido a la transparencia del agua y al brillo y color de los peces, que pueden vivir hasta 100 años.
Las alamedas del jardín se han enriquecido con una colección de azulejos de los siglos XVI al XX, destacando los paneles dedicados a la "Historia de Portugal" y a la "Aventura de los portugueses en Japón". En el jardín también se pueden ver escudos, cantería, esculturas, nichos, pagodas, budas y faroles.
En la parte más alta del jardín se construyó el Museo Monte Palace Madeira, un espacio expositivo con tres galerías. En la planta baja se expone una colección de minerales y piedras preciosas procedentes de los cuatro rincones del mundo, y en la primera y segunda planta, una colección de escultura contemporánea de Zimbabue.

The Long Corridor is a covered walkway in the Summer Palace in Beijing, China. The total length of the Long Corridor is 728 metres and it is decorated with more than 14,000 paintings, especially on the ceiling and its beams, which divide it into 273 sections. Along the corridor there are four octagonal pavilions. Each of these pavilions symbolises the four climatic seasons of the year. The more than 14,000 paintings have a wide variety of subjects: historical figures, famous buildings, landscapes, flowers, birds, fish, insects... Of particular importance are those depicting folk and traditional tales, fables and episodes from classical Chinese literature. As a part of the Summer Palace, the Long Corridor was included on the UNESCO World Heritage List in December, 1998.
There is no doubt that the Long Corridor is a beautiful place during the day. But it is at night, with the arrival of darkness and the lighting of the chinese lanterns, that it reaches its true splendour, creating a special atmosphere and transforming into a long, luminous and sinuous thread in the midst of the darkness. It is at night when it becomes a magical place, where stories, tales, fables, imagination... come to life and arise. Dreams and tales, in the middle of the night and darkness.

En el silencio sin aliento de las 4 a.m., en la oscuridad se encuentra un triste cliché envuelto en el azul marino de las estrellas que se desvanecen lentamente. Dime cómo llegó ésto a ser.
.....
Duérmete y cállate, cariño. Es hora de dormir, hora de apagar la luz. Dulces sueños te esperan tras tus ojos cerrados y una manta de noche, donde las chinches no pican. Duérmete y calla hasta la mañana. Has dicho todas tus oraciones, és hora de hacerlas realidad. No te preocupes, tu papi está aquí, si lo necesitas esta noche. Tranquiliza tu mente. Descansa tus ojos y duerme bien.

The Sunlight transforms all creatures inside out!! It is an irresistible Power that enlightens strongly, and gives Life and Hope!!
Speaking of humans, experiencing the dark present hours of Humanity, Sunlight is literally a life and energy source, an uplifter of spirits, bodies, and souls! Especially now, while Winter is approaching…
Therefore , last Saturday morning, a very bright , sunny day, I decided to celebrate light and colours, in the Château wonderland, together with hundreds of other people , as you can see in my photos!! Speaking of the spirits of all of us in there, I can assure you, that , even when wearing the disgusting masks , NOTHING could block the upliftment and joy in our hearts!
The American flag blowing in the wind near a window captured here reflecting and distorting in the glass of an old chalk drawing hanging on the living room wall. The soft vertical lines reflected in the glass are from vertical blinds.
It's a lazy photograph, you might say. I snapped it while sitting on the couch.

Macro Mondays
{BAM 17 of 52}
Theme: Transformation
I normally don't wear this much make-up but when I do I can honestly say I feel transformed. lol
Happy Macro Monday everyone! Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
By the way my eyebrows are having a bad day lol
My local pier, which is no longer in use, has fallen into a state of disrepair. I still see it as a thing of beauty and interest. I captured this image at sunrise yesterday and although there was little colour, due to the impending rain clouds, the Long Exposure gave some lovely movement in the sky and smoothed the water nicely. Beauty from something which at first glance, was not so beautiful.
Super-Padd has almost recovered from the accident.
He was on his way to Mummy Marian's house when he collided with the sliding door on landing. He was unconscious for a while and suffered from paw problems.
He now wants to meet Paddy, Daddy Jesse and all the other bears who live in Australia.
Peter told Super-Padd about the secret magical portal in Mummy Marian's garden and also told him when you go through the portal you are in Australia.
But..because S-Padd is too big, he cannot go through the portal.
Peter asked for help from the fairy-mother.
She came immediately with fairy-dust.
Peter took Super-Padd to the agreed place in the garden after sunset.....
SUPER-PADD:
I do find it a bit scary Peter.
I don't know what's happening.
PETER:
Have faith in the Fairy Mother....look...there she is already!!!!
FAIRY-MOTHER:
I don't have much time Peter and Super-Padd. So if you stay still, I'll do the spell and sprinkle fairy-dust all over you Super-Padd. Then you can go through the gate.
It takes a few seconds to transform.
If there are any problems, you can send me an app.
Here we go....
Fairy Mother does the spell...sprinkles fairydust all over Super-Padd.
After that, she disappeared.
The fairy-dust circles around Super-Padd. Fog forms...a thud....and....
PETER:
Huh....Super Padd....where are you???????
SUPER-PADD: (replies in a small voice)
Here Peter!!!
Boy are you big! What happened to you?????

This two-acre plot of earth at the corner of El Camino Real ("The King's Highway") and Baldwin Street in San Mateo, California is perhaps the most venerable and historic site in the city. For over 150 years (since 1866) it has been the location of the Episcopal Church of St. Matthew, making it the oldest continually-used location in the city.
The devastating 1906 earthquake ruined the 1866 church and its fabulous bell tower. On May 15, 1910, the congregation buried a new cornerstone, containing all the artifacts from the original stone. Under the spiritual guidance of Reverend Neptune Blood William Gallaway, famed church architect Willis Polk engineered the new edifice. Considered one of the most beautiful houses of worship in California, it recalls the 11th century Stokes Poges Church in London, where Thomas Gray reportedly penned the poem "Elegy in a Country Churchyard."

Gorge Falls
Black River
National Wild and Scenic River
Bessemer, Michigan
Nestled within Michigan’s Ottawa National Forest, Gorge Falls along the Black River is a hidden gem of raw, untamed beauty. This waterfall is part of the Black River National Wild and Scenic River system, where the river carves its way through layers of ancient rock, creating stunning cascades that thrill photographers, hikers, and nature lovers alike. As you approach Gorge Falls, you’re welcomed by the soothing rumble of water cascading over rocky ledges into deep pools below. The Black River is encased by dense forests of hemlock, birch, and maple, whose foliage transforms into a vibrant mosaic in the fall.
I suppose it only fitting that life will take root in the structure itself. You see bricks are made from clay and concrete is made from lime, sand and gravel. So, the trees find a way to latch onto the core materials of the building. As they do, with a helping hand from rain and freezing temretures, the once rock hard building materials return to their soil beginnings, providing more material for nature to take root. Nothing goes to waste.
Winter’s magic transforms the countryside into a serene masterpiece, and this stunning blue barn in Fife Lake is the perfect centerpiece. Captured after a fresh December snowfall, the scene exudes rustic charm and peaceful stillness. Growing up here in this area, I’ve always loved how the snowy landscapes create a timeless beauty. ❄️
