Yesterday I went for a long walk in the forest. The forest lake was nearly completly frozen. At the same time I was able to say goodbye to January. It was cold but sunny and I could enjoy the essence of winter. To be on the safe side I had my Helios lens with me, because I think that the lens underlines the barren beauty of this time of year very appropriately. I hope that February will present even more such beauties after I greeted him very early this morning :-)
Happy Monday everyone!
Under the large meadow between the university building and the old Pinakothek, the Museum of Egyptian Art lies like an underground excavation site. The building is a monumental architecture which welcomes visitors via its own forecourt, which is designed as a flat sloping stepped ramp, with a mighty entrance portal and light-flooded halls. However, the further one penetrates, the smaller and narrower the rooms become - just like in an Egyptian temple. The predominant materials are exposed concrete, steel, stone and glass, underlining the aesthetic aspirations of the museum, which combines art and cultural history under one roof. The strikingly well-worked fair-faced concrete becomes increasingly fine towards the object. Where the ceiling still shows clear structures, the bases of the figures almost look like fine sandstone.
Unter der großen Wiese zwischen Hochschulgebäude und alter Pinakothek liegt das Museum für Ägyptische Kunst wie eine Ausgrabungsstätte unter der Erde. Das Gebäude ist eine Monumentalarchitektur, die die Besucher über einen eigenen Vorplatz, welcher als flach geneigte Stufenrampe ausgebildet ist, mit einem mächtigen Eingangsportal und lichtdurchfluteten Hallen empfängt. Je weiter man jedoch vordringt, desto kleiner und enger werden die Räume – ganz wie in einem ägyptischen Tempel. Vorherrschende Materialien sind Sichtbeton, Stahl, Stein und Glas, was den ästhetischen Anspruch des Museums, das Kunst- und Kulturhistorie unter einem Dach vereint, unterstreicht. Der auffällig gut gearbeitete Sichtbeton wird zum Objekt hin immer feiner. Wo sich an der Decke teils noch deutliche Strukturen zeigen, sehen die Sockel der Figuren schon fast aus wie feiner Sandstein.

A pair of Tundra Swans, arrive in a flooded rice field in California's Sacramento Valley. They will winter there before returning to their breeding grounds in the Arctic tundra. They are one of only two North American species of swans, the other being the Trumpeter Swan.
Originally, rice farmers would burn their harvested fields readying them for the next year's planting. It was found that flooding them did the job efficiently while providing a wintering ground for migrating waterfowl. It has also brought another source of income to the area with all the birder's and photographers who flock there (sorry, couldn't help myself).
Tundra Swans are have all white feathers, but once they start grazing in these shallow waters, their breasts, necks and heads quickly develop a russet stain from the underlining mud and decaying vegetation.
The American race of Tundra Swans, referred to as Whistling Swans from their calls, have solid black bills or black with a small patch of yellow below the eye; the Eurasian race of Tundra Swan, or Bewick's, have a much larger, distinctive yellow patch. Both races are found together in these large, wintering areas and are considered the same species although they once were thought to be separate species.
Der Dresdner Zwinger ist ein Stück barocker Baukunst. Als die prächtige Anlage gebaut wurde, sollte sie vor allem Repräsentationszwecken dienen und die Macht August des Starken unterstreichen.
The Dresden Zwinger is a piece of baroque architecture. When the magnificent complex was built, it was primarily intended to serve representational purposes and to underline the power of August the Strong.
Town Hall Tower in Kraków, Poland (Polish: Wieża ratuszowa w Krakowie) is one of the main focal points of the Main Market Square in the Old Town district of Kraków.
The Tower is the only remaining part of the old Kraków Town Hall, demolished in 1820 as part of the city plan to open up the Main Square. Its cellars once housed a city prison with a Medieval torture chamber.
In 1967, after a complex conservation which underlined its gothic ancestry, object was given to the Historical Museum in Cracow for management of it.
Built of stone and brick at the end of the 13th century, the massive Gothic tower of the early Town Hall stands 70 metres tall and leans just 55 centimetres, the result of a storm in 1703. The top floor of the tower with an observation deck is open to visitors.

Herford is a town in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, located in the lowlands between the hill chains of the Wiehen Hills and the Teutoburg Forest. It is the capital of the district of Herford.
The town was founded in 789 by Charlemagne in order to guard a ford in the narrow Werre river. A century later, Matilda, daughter of Dietrich of Ringelheim, a count of Saxony, grew up in the abbey of Herford; she was a descendant of the Saxon leader Widukind. In Herford she met Henry the Fowler, who later became king of Germany.
In late medieval times Herford was a member of the Hanseatic League. It was a Free Imperial City, i.e. it was directly subordinated to the emperor. This status was lost after the Peace of Westphalia (1648), when Herford was annexed by Brandenburg-Prussia. It was administered within the Province of Westphalia following the Napoleonic Wars, and made part of the new state North Rhine-Westphalia after World War II.

Ascension Church (1535)
The church reaches toward the sky from a low cross-shaped podklet (ground floor), followed by a prolonged chetverik (octagonal body, and then an octagonal tent, crowned by a tiny dome. The narrow pilasters on the sides of the chetverik, the arrow-shaped window frames, the three tiers of the kokoshniks and the quiet rhythm of stair arcades and open galleries underline the dynamic tendency of this masterpiece of the Russian architecture. The whole vertical composition is believed to have been borrowed from hipped roof-style wooden churches of the Russian North. Recognizing its outstanding value for humanity, UNESCO decided to inscribe the church on the World Heritage List in 1994.

However, when it came to Heartsdale’s Van Gogh Collection I went back into history to better understand the source of Nino’s inspiration for this collection – namely, that of the post-impressionist Vincent van Gogh’s “The Arles Sunflowers.”
They were meant as a sign of friendship and welcome, but also of Vincent's devotion to Gauguin and gratitude as his artistic leader.
That said, I am also very grateful for Nino’s artist contributions to Second Life with her wonderful jewelry art contributions over the years here. She serves as an inspiration to me and many others. I appreciate her dearly.
This HJ Van Gogh Collection comes with 3 different petal color options – white, pink, and yellow.
I also wanted to draw reference back to Sascha's Diada Jacket for us to better appreciate its beautiful fleece underlining, drape, collar, and other finish details with this pink version. The Sascha’s Design Diada Outfit ensemble is rigged for Maitreya (+ Petite), Legacy (+ Perky), Freya, and Hourglass mesh bodies.
This Heartsdale Van Gogh Collection and Sascha's Diada Outfit are exclusive for Swank's February Fifty Shades of Red Event.

On the left top side can be seen the last 4 brightest stars of the constellation Ursa Major(Big Dipper)(Plough) the Great Bear. The last two bright stars of Ursa Major point to Polaris the Pole star North Star. I purposely left the power lines in this shot to underline the significance of this great sign. Comet NEOWISE is moving directly under the Great bear constellation from right to left,East to West nightly. Right to left is the Hebrew way of reading and the number 3) Who is the Bear from the North? Comet at its brightest underlining Ursa Major and then starting to fade later.It is also over top of Leo Minor and the great constellation LEO as it journeys further in space.

Homage to the Cathedral of Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul de Nantes and to the people of Nantes
Un incendie impressionnant et une piste criminelle envisagée. Une centaine de pompiers et une quarantaine d’engins ont été dépêchés pour combattre un « feu important » signalé vers 7h45 à l’intérieur de la cathédrale Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul de Nantes, samedi 18 juillet. Ils ont réussi à le maîtriser assez rapidement : vers 10 heures, ils ont pu annoncer que l’incendie était « circonscrit ».
Une enquête a été ouverte pour « incendie volontaire », a fait savoir peu après le procureur de la République de Nantes, Pierre Sennès. « L’enquête est ouverte sur la base des constatations effectuées, après découverte de trois départs de feu espacés les uns des autres (...) au niveau du grand orgue, à droite et à gauche de la nef. » « Un expert incendie venu de Paris est attendu sur place cet après-midi », a-t-il encore souligné.
Le grand orgue a « complètement disparu »
Le feu a principalement endommagé le grand orgue « qui semble être entièrement détruit. La plate-forme sur laquelle il se situe est très instable et menace de s’effondrer », a déclaré le directeur départemental des pompiers, le général Laurent Ferlay, lors d’un point-presse devant la cathédrale.
L’administrateur diocésain, le père François Renaud, en charge de la cathédrale en raison d’une vacance du siège épiscopal, a pu rentrer avec les pompiers à l’intérieur de la cathédrale et a déclaré que « le grand orgue avait complètement disparu ». « C’est très impressionnant et c’est une perte inestimable », a-t-il ajouté, ému.
« La console de l’orgue de chœur a disparu en fumée et les stalles en bois attenantes. Derrière le grand orgue, il y a des vitraux d’origine qui ont tous volé en éclats. C’est une verrière complète du XVIe. »
En revanche, « on n’est pas dans scénario “Notre-Dame de Paris” » a souligné M. Ferlay, précisant que la toiture « refaite en armature béton, n’est pas touchée ». Le 15 avril 2019, la célèbre cathédrale de la capitale avait été ravagée par un incendie, qui a détruit sa toiture.
Déjà un important incendie en 1972
Ce n’est pas la première fois que cette cathédrale au cœur de Nantes est touchée par un incendie. Le 28 janvier 1972, le toit de la cathédrale gothique Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul, construite entre le XVe et le XIXe siècle, avait été ravagé par les flammes. Le sinistre s’était déclaré à la suite de travaux effectués par un couvreur.
La cathédrale de Nantes n’avait pu être rendue au culte qu’en mai 1985, après plus de treize ans de travaux.
En 2015, toujours à Nantes, un autre édifice catholique avait été touché par un incendie spectaculaire qui avait détruit les trois quarts du toit de la basilique Saint-Donatien-et-Saint-Rogatien, un édifice religieux du XIXe siècle.

An impressive fire and an envisaged criminal track. Around 100 firefighters and around 40 devices were dispatched to fight a "major fire" reported at around 7.45am inside the Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul cathedral in Nantes on Saturday July 18. They were able to bring it under control fairly quickly: around 10 a.m. they were able to announce that the fire was "contained".
An investigation was opened for "arson", said shortly after the prosecutor of the Republic of Nantes, Pierre Sennès. "The investigation is opened on the basis of the findings made, after the discovery of three fire starts spaced from each other (...) at the level of the great organ, to the right and to the left of the nave. "A fire expert from Paris is expected on site this afternoon," he added.
The great organ has "completely disappeared"
The fire mainly damaged the large organ “which seems to be completely destroyed. The platform on which it is located is very unstable and threatens to collapse, ”the departmental director of firefighters, General Laurent Ferlay, said during a press briefing in front of the cathedral.
The diocesan administrator, Father François Renaud, in charge of the cathedral due to a vacant episcopal seat, was able to return with the firefighters inside the cathedral and declared that "the great organ had completely disappeared" . "It is very impressive and it is a priceless loss," he added, moved.
"The console of the choir organ went up in smoke and the adjoining wooden stalls. Behind the great organ, there are original stained glass windows which have all been shattered. It is a complete 16th century glass roof. "
On the other hand, "we are not in the 'Notre-Dame de Paris' scenario" underlined Mr. Ferlay, adding that the roof "redone with concrete reinforcement, is not affected". On April 15, 2019, the famous capital cathedral was devastated by a fire, which destroyed its roof.
Already a major fire in 1972
It is not the first time that this cathedral in the heart of Nantes has been hit by a fire. On January 28, 1972, the roof of the Gothic Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul cathedral, built between the 15th and 19th centuries, was devastated by flames. The incident was declared following work carried out by a roofer.
Nantes cathedral could not be returned to worship until May 1985, after more than thirteen years of work.
In 2015, still in Nantes, another Catholic building was hit by a spectacular fire which destroyed three quarters of the roof of the Saint-Donatien-et-Saint-Rogatien basilica, a 19th century religious building.

turquoise mosaic
Mexico, 15th-16th century AD
An icon of Mexica (Aztec) art, this striking object was probably worn on ceremonial occasions as a pectoral (an ornament worn on the chest).
------------------------------------------------
It is carved in wood (Cedrela odorata) and covered with turquoise mosaic. The wood is hollowed at the back.
Serpent imagery occurs throughout the religious iconography of Mesoamerica. The serpent is associated with several Mexica deities including Quetzalcoatl (Feathered Serpent), Xiuhcoatl (Fire Serpent) and Mixcoatl (Cloud Serpent) or Coatlicue (She of the Serpent Skirt), the mother of the Mexica god Huitzilopochtli. The habit of snakes to shed their skin each year probably led to them being used to convey ideas concerning renewal and transformation. Likewise the ability of many species to move freely between water, earth and the forest canopy helped underline their symbolic role as intermediaries between the different layers of the cosmos (underworld, earth and sky).
Spondylus (thorny oyster) shell was used for the bright red details around the nose and mouth of both of this object's serpent heads. Strombus (conch) shell was used for the white teeth. Within the gaping mouths the resin adhesive was coloured bright red with hematite. Beeswax adheres to the edges of the empty eye sockets which were probably originally inlaid, perhaps with iron pyrites.
The reverse of the body is undecorated, although the surface may have originally been gilded, but the heads are worked in mosaic on both sides. Resins from pine and Bursera (copal) were used as adhesives for the mosaic.

Die 223 072 trug auch im Jahr 2020 noch eine Seitenwerbung, welche auf das „Gautrachtenfest D’Wageggler“ hinweisen sollte. Mit einem Trachtenpaar und der Aufschrift "Griaß di, Allgäu!" möchte man die Verbundenheit zur Region unterstreichen. Am 05. Juli 2020 konnte ich die Lok mit ihrem ALX 84104 auf der Fahrt nach Hergatz bei Weißenbachmühle aufnehmen.
The 223 072 still wore a side advertisement in 2020, which should point to a traditional folk festival. With a pair of folklore costumes and the inscription "Griaß di, Allgäu!" one would like to underline the connection to the region. On 05. July 2020 I photographed the locomotive with its ALX 84104 on the trip to Hergatz near Weißenbachmühle.

The nose shield or signs (Nasenschild), also a boom, is a traditional form of advertising. It is an advertising sign that is anchored on the wall of a restaurant or shop and protrudes at right angles, like the nose from the face, from the house into the street space. It is considered particularly suitable to draw the attention of passers-by to a shop and is designed in such a way that its mark can be seen well from both sides.
Occasionally, the term "figurehead" is also used for nose shield (signs), but this is usually used in the figurative sense for something (or a person) who acts as a special symbol for an institution or organization.
Herford is a town in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, located in the lowlands between the hill chains of the Wiehen Hills and the Teutoburg Forest. It is the capital of the district of Herford.
Since the Middle Ages, the inns pointed out their function to passers-by with a leaf wreath suspended above the door.
In the German-speaking world, nose signs were often made of iron by blacksmiths with considerable effort. The advertised craft or the offer of a merchant is not pointed out with text, but with figurative signs - for example guild signs. In many cities, the affixing of such a sign was subject to approval by the guild or council.
Restaurants with traditional names such as "Zum Hirsch," "Zum Bären" or "Zur Post" also drew attention to themselves with a pictorial representation of their name.

The exclusive character of the Paul Smart 1000 Limited Edition, of which only 2000 will be produced, is underlined by the use of top-level fully-adjustable Öhlins suspension and by the Metallic Silver fairing and Sea Green frame colours, as on the 1974 Super Sport 750.
Though Ducati had been manufacturing motorcycles for several decades, it was Paul Smart’s victory at the 1972 Imola 200 that really put the boutique marque on the map as a bonafide competitor in the racing world. The legendary British pilot won the event competing aboard what eventually became the iconic 750SS. Thirty four years after Smart’s win at Imola, Ducati released a range of retro-themed bikes celebrating the Bologna firm’s classic bevel-drive twins. The most interesting — and popular — of the Pierre Terblanche-designed modern retros was undoubtedly the Paul Smart 1000 LE.

As it's started snowing again, it reminded me of my daily 'Lockdown Walk' on 26th January 2021.
I thought it would be an interesting comparison to take a 'Snow Shot' of the 'Abandoned Farmhouse' I discovered and photographed eight days earlier on one of the more remote hillsides surrounding my home in Betws yn Rhos, Conwy, North Wales.
Because of the steep, slippery hillside and deep snow it was difficult to replicate the exact position. Whilst the earlier image was taken from the same viewpoint, I was slightly higher. The previous image was also colour and taken in far better light. This time it was much later and very poor light - hence the Mono conversion.
Although it still makes for a picturesque scene it clearly underlines the harsh conditions experienced to survive.

But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time
Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time
I've got a list of names and yours is in red, underlined
I check it once, then I check it twice, oh!
Where am I this week? Well I’m still in the woods. Things are improving in ways but I’m measuring this in weeks not days. Although my Chiropractor and Physio are helping me understand where I am I still don’t know why. Four weeks ago I spoke to my doctor who told me to self refer to the MSK unit, which I did and was given an earliest appointment of March 2nd. Last week concerned that my underlining cause should be investigated via X-ray, CT scan or MRI I connected my doctor again via the NHS app asking for advice, I again I received the self same email for me to self refer to MSK, I despair. For the first 12 years of my IT career I was fortunate to have private health care for my me and my family, although it was through a payroll benefit in the end it became too expensive for us supporting a young family, so after my last child was born I cancelled the policy, now I regret that. I fear and have little faith in the run down NHS, and the blame for that lines squarely with Tory Brexit Britain. My biggest concern is that I can’t walk any distance without being reduced to a slow hobble and I now walking with stick. I love to walk, even round my not so scenic local area I usual cover several miles a day, but my real joy is being out in lonely areas and walking forever, it’s unthinkable I’ll not be able to do that. Longing for the day I can be tramping about this wood again.
Dieser Hahn treibt sei Unwesen im Nuthe Nieplitz Naturpark. Als wildlebendes Tier ist er natürlich recht scheu und meidet die Anwesenheit von Menschen. Ein Auto jedoch, bringt er scheinbar nicht mit solchen in Verbindung und so ließ er sich eines Morgens von mir aus dem Auto heraus auf einem Feld fotografieren. Er schreitet meist "zu Fuß" durch die Felder. Besonders eigentümlich ist dem Fasan sein Revierruf, den er mit einem geräuschvollen Flügelwirbel zu unterstreichen weiß.
This pheasant lives in the Nuthe Nieplitz Naturpark. As a wild animal, he is of course quite shy and avoids the presence of humans. A car, however, he apparently does not associate with such and so one morning he let himself be photographed by me out of the car. He usually walks "on foot". Particularly peculiar is the pheasant's reputation, which he knows how to underline with a noisy wing vortex.
This photograph was taken from Hoboken looking across the Hudson River towards Lower Manhattan. The Freedom Tower (One World Trade Centre) stood as the tallest building in New York City. Many of the high-rise buildings were brightly lit, underlining the vibrant city scape. There were drifting clouds, and light trail of an aircraft crossing the Freedom Tower in the distance.

Hamburgs jüngster U-Bahnhof der U4 Linie ist die mit Abstand ungewöhnlichste Haltestelle des öffentlichen Nahverkehrs im gesamten Stadtgebiet. Tonnenweise Stahlbeton bilden die Grundlage für diesen architektonisch außergewöhnlichen Raum unter Tage. Auf einer Fläche von 3200 Quadratmetern geht es nicht nur um das Ein- und Aussteigen von Städtern in das Fortbewegungsmittel ihrer Wahl. Vielmehr kann die U-Bahn-Station an sich als einzigartige Sehenswürdigkeit betrachtet werden.
Die Raumgestaltung ist großzügig. Von den hohen Decken hängen auf der gesamten Länge des Bahnsteiges 6,5 Meter lange Lichtwürfel. In Form und Abmessung sollen diese an die, im Hamburger Hafen lagernden 20 Fuß Schiffscontainer erinnern. In den Lichtobjekten entstehen eindrucksvolle Lichteffekte, die in der Kathedralen-artigen Räumlichkeit ihre Wirkung entfalten. Das Lichtspiel wird unterstrichen von Soundeffekten. Schiffshörner, das Wummern gewaltiger Schiffsmotoren oder die Schreie von Möwen hüllen den Raum in einen hafentypischen Klangteppich.

Hamburg's newest subway station on the U4 line is by far the most unusual public transport stop in the entire city. Tons of reinforced concrete form the basis for this architecturally extraordinary underground space. On an area of 3200 square meters, it's not just about city dwellers getting in and out of the means of transport of their choice. Rather, the subway station itself can be viewed as a unique attraction.
The room design is generous. 6.5 meter long light cubes hang from the high ceilings along the entire length of the platform. In terms of shape and dimensions, these are intended to be reminiscent of the 20-foot shipping containers stored in the port of Hamburg. The light objects create impressive lighting effects that unfold their effect in the cathedral-like space. The light play is underlined by sound effects. Ship horns, the humming of huge ship engines or the cries of seagulls envelop the room in a carpet of sound typical of a port.

Normally I do not write much about my pictures. But in this case I feel the need to tell you the background of this photo. The photo shows a part of the upper reaches of the Black Slum. It is a nature reserve Austria/Styria, which underlines the fact that this river course is one of the very few in Austria that is still completely natural.That is why it is also very irritating that a concrete hydroelectric power station project is actually planned here, and the first positive reports on the approval of this project give cause for great concern that greed for profit will triumph here once again.This would result in the destruction of this natural jewel. In principle, I believe that the supply of energy by means of hydroelectric power is extremely sensible, but nature reserves such as this one are probably not the right place for such a project. The WWF and many dedicated nature lovers are fighting against the project and I pray that they will be successful!

I had the pleasure of being a judge for the first Audition of Candidates for Miss Kelini 2017. Good luck to everyone who took part. The theme was 'Venetian Masquerade' and it was a total pleasure to put on this fabulous dress and pair with a glittering face mask (by Madrid Solo), and flowers by LODE. The gown is available in the mainstore in five gorgeous colours, all with golden details and underlining. This is Pink and Gold.

Every day in the evening there was several impressive light shows underlined by classical music to the fascinated spectator.
Whether Singaporean or tourist. You pay nothing, the show
and a visit to the site was for free.
You lie on your back, look at from below at the rhythmically changing colors of the up to 50m high "artificial trees" and just relax. I felt like I was on a different planet, and forgot the people around me.
Super Trees, Gardens by the Bay, Singapore.

Something different - some may not like this but I have been experimenting with a partially traditional picture split between an abstract form to describe an alternative view.
In this picture I have tried to express that underneath a calm veil of apparent normality there is often an undercurrent of turmoil or something else which is in conflict with our perceived view.
The normality is underlined by the retaining posts which are used to strengthen the banks of the river and therefore reinforce the view that all is under control, although what lies beyond is obscured.
Nothing is ever as it appears on the surface.
Have a wonderful weekend friends and beware of undercurrents ;-)
Reactions welcomed on the painting.
I appreciate all your comments.
Citadel of Osijek, Croatia
The Citadel ('Tvrđa' in Croatian) of Osijek is the best-preserved and largest ensemble of Baroque buildings in Croatia and a unique example of an eighteenth-century military, administrative, and commercial urban center, as described by the World Monuments Fund.
After the fortress's military importance decreased at the end of the 19th century, Tvrđa became the center of administrative, educational, cultural, and scholarly life in Osijek and the entire region. The first school in Osijek was organized at Tvrđa and the first printing press started working in 1735. The significance of educational institutions of Tvrđa are best underlined by the fact that Croatian Nobel Prize laureates, Lavoslav Ružička and Vladimir Prelog, along with Serbian scientist Milutin Milanković (Milankovitch cycles), were all alumni (graduates) of the Tvrđa schools.
Tvrđa is on UNESCO's 'Tentative List' for consideration as a World Heritage Site.
Today closed to visitors, the castle is the subject of a restoration program launched by the State. It will host the future international city of the French language. Opening scheduled for 2022 .. After his captivity in Madrid, François 1er launched several construction sites near Paris. Among them, the castle of Villers-Cotterêts whose proximity to the forest of Retz has made the happiness of kings and princes who particularly enjoy hunting there. François 1er nicknamed this royal residence "My pleasure", which clearly underlines the emotional bond with the place. The castle contains a rich sculpted decoration, unique in France: a chapel comprising an altarpiece and friezes and two coffered staircases. In August 1539, François 1er signed the so-called Villers-Cotterêts ordinance there, which introduced the use of French in official documents and laid the foundations for civil status. Henri II, who succeeded him in 1547, continued the work by calling on one of the greatest geniuses of the Renaissance, the architect Philibert de l'Orme. Passing in front of the gable of the audience pavilion, you can admire the royal monogram of Henri and Catherine de Medici. The 17th century marks the beginning of a new era for the royal domain. In 1661, Louis XIV offered the Duchy of Valois to his brother Philippe d'Orléans on the occasion of his marriage to Henriette of England. In 1664, Le Nôtre completely remodeled the Petit Parc according to the style and tastes of the day. Seven generations of princes will follow one another and leave their mark.
Aujourd'hui fermé à la visite, le château fait l'objet d'un programme de restauration lancé par l'Etat. Il accueillera la future cité internationale de la langue française. Ouverture prévue en 2022.. Après sa captivité madrilène, François 1er lance plusieurs chantiers de construction à proximité de Paris. Parmi eux, le château de Villers-Cotterêts dont la proximité avec la forêt de Retz a fait le bonheur des rois et des princes qui apprécient particulièrement y chasser. François 1er surnomme cette demeure royale "Mon plaisir", ce qui souligne clairement le lien affectif avec le lieu. Le château renferme un riche décor sculpté, unique en France : une chapelle comprenant un retable et des frises et deux escaliers à caissons. En août 1539, François 1er y signe l'ordonnance dite de Villers-Cotterêts qui introduit l'usage du français dans les actes officiels et pose les bases de l'état-civil. Henri II, qui lui succède en 1547, poursuit les travaux en faisant appel à l'un des plus grands génies de la Renaissance, l'architecte Philibert de l'Orme. En passant devant le pignon du pavillon de l'auditoire, vous pourrez admirer le monogramme royal d'Henri et Catherine de Médicis. Le XVIIème siècle marque le début d'une nouvelle ère pour le domaine royal. En 1661, Louis XIV offre le duché de Valois à son frère Philippe d'Orléans à l'occasion de son mariage avec Henriette d'Angleterre. En 1664, Le Nôtre refait entièrement le Petit Parc selon le style et les goûts du jour. Sept générations de princes vont se succéder et laisser leur empreinte.
