I spotted this Petoskey Stone Shelled Tortoise in front of the Charlevoix Circle of Arts yesterday. I loved it.
Description in English and Dutch:
English
A century ago, a very special find was made during dredging work in the beautiful city of Nijmegen. An original Roman mask has then been extracted from the deepest caverns of the historic river Waal. It is very special, because worldwide only 150 to 200 such combat masks have been found. The mask dates from the first century AD and was worn in real battles as well as in parades and tournaments. The mask was attached to the helmet with some kind of hinge. The appearance of the mask was also intended to instill great fear in the opponent. The Roman owner will undoubtedly have enjoyed it a lot then. The mask has been an absolute showpiece in the Valkhof museum in Nijmegen for quite some time now. After seeing the mask in the museum, the Nijmegen artist Andreas Hertfeld fell in love with it and it inspired him to make a mega-sized replica of it. After he was elected to create a public artwork for the municipality, he decided to start this mega project 'De Uitkijk'. He has worked for years at a shipyard on the art project, better known in Nijmegen as 'The Face of Nijmegen'. The costs for this municipal project eventually ended up at about 100000 euros! The imposing and extremely impressive work of art is located on the city island of Veur-Lent in Nijmegen along the river Waal. At the back of the public artwork you can climb to the eye holes via a staircase. Through the eye holes you can see the city of Nijmegen with a Roman view. The design of the 6 meter meter high (6.5 yards) and 4.5 meter (4.9 yards) wide Roman face mask sculpture is made from several pieces of steel. These steel pieces are then welded together. The sculpture has also a layer of polyester and a filling of polyurethane foam. It has become a real landmark of the oldest city of The Netherlands.

Iets meer dan een eeuw geleden werd er tijdens baggerwerkzaamheden een zeer bijzondere vondst gedaan in de Nederlandse stad Nijmegen. Een origineel Romeins masker is toen uit de diepste krogten van de historische rivier de Waal tevoorschijn gekomen. Zo'n vondst is heel erg speciaal, want wereldwijd zijn er slechts 150 tot 200 van zulke gevechtsmaskers gevonden. Het masker stamt uit de eerste eeuw na Christus en werd zowel gedragen bij echte gevechten als ook bij parades en toernooien. Met een soort scharnier zat het masker vast aan de helm. Het uiterlijk van het masker was ook bedoeld om de tegenstander veel angst in te boezemen. De Romeinse ruiter die het gedragen heeft, zal er ongetwijfeld veel plezier aan beleefd hebben. Het masker is al geruime tijd een absoluut pronkstuk in museum Het Valkhof in Nijmegen. Op het moment dat de Nijmeegse kunstenaar Andreas Hertfeld het masker in het museum heeft gezien was hij zeer onder de indruk en heeft het hem geïnspireerd om er een megagrote replica van te maken. Het ontwerp van het zes meter hoge en 4,5 meter brede Romeinse gezichtsmasker van meer dan 2000 kilo is dus gebaseerd op het pronkstuk van Het Valkhof museum en ik raad het iedereen dan ook aan om dit museum ook te bezoeken. De creatieve genius met Duitse roots heeft jarenlang op een scheepswerf gewerkt aan het kunstproject 'De Uitkijk' dat in Nijmegen meer bekend is onder de naam 'Het gezicht van Nijmegen'. Het imposante en uiterst indrukwekkende beeldhouwwerk heeft een ton gekost en staat inmiddels op het eiland Veur-Lent in Nijmegen langs de Waal. Aan de achterkant van het openbare kunstwerk kun je naar de ooggaten klimmen via een trap. Door de ooggaten heen zie je dan de stad Nijmegen met een Romeinse blik.. Het sculptuur heeft een laagje polyester en een vulling van purschuim. De creatieve kunstenaar heeft het beeldhouwwerk gemaakt van verschillende stukken staal. Deze staalstukken zijn vervolgens aan elkaar gelast. Het is een echt herkenningspunt van de oudste stad van Nederland geworden.

While refreshing Geometry, found this Analogy:
No matter how many opinions and points of view on a specific subject, all the intersecting lines have to realize that there is only one plane (one truth).
(Spanish : Mientras refrescaba mi Geometria encontre esta analogía: No importa cuantas opiniones y puntos de vista se levanten en un asunto especifico. Todas ellas tienen que realizar que solo hay un plano, una verdad).

Without any doubt, the Mondaine clock of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) constitutes a landmark of the country. Since my arrival in Switzerland its ubiquity all over the country attracted my attention as a constant reminder of the passage of the time. This photo was taken during a typical foggy autumn evening in Wankdorf, Bern, where this monumental clock lays in front of the SBB headquarters. At the time, the location was deserted creating a unique cinematic atmosphere. Suddenly, these bikers passed right under the clock at maximum speed as if indeed, time was running.

Die Wendeltreppe ist nicht nur zweckmäßig, sondern ein Kunstwerk an sich. Die Verkleidung der Treppe besteht aus tausenden Mosaiksteinen, die größtenteils in Handarbeit von Fachleuten der italienischen Firma Bisazza verlegt wurden. Mendini setzte die Treppe zudem ganz bewusst als Idee ein. In traditionellen Museumsbauten befinden sich die Ausstellungsräume meist oben – der Besucher muss eine Treppe hochgehen, um zur holden Kunst zu gelangen. Mendini drehte den Spieß um: Im Groninger Museum geht es zur Kunst nach unten auf Wasserstandshöhe.
Die Wendeltreppe ist ein Entwurf des Chefarchitekten. Am Fuß steht eine Säule mit einer ebenfalls von Mendini entworfenen Kristallkugel, in der sich Licht und Farben im Vorübergehen reflektieren. Die Kugel verspricht dem Besucher eine Fülle von Entdeckungen in diesem schillernden Museum. Sie markiert den Mittelpunkt des Gebäudes und ist das größte Kristallobjekt, das die bekannte Firma Swarovski je herstellte.
The shipwreck of the cargo ship the Plassey on the Aran Island of Inis Oirr. It was shipwrecked in a storm in 1960 (all the crew were rescued) and has lain here every since (I think it’s been moved around by storms). For anyone who’s seen the comedy series Father Ted - this is the shipwreck in the credits at the start!
For a photo story of the first two islands I visited:
La chiesa di Sant'Agostino è una delle più antiche chiese di Trapani. Si trova nel centro storico della città, in piazzetta Saturno. Dal 2008 è sede del museo diocesano.
Edificata nel 1101 come cappella dei Cavalieri templari e dedicata a San Giovanni Battista.
Durante lo svolgimento delle prime crociate l'aggregato fu amministrato dai Cavalieri Ospitalieri.
Quando l'ordine fu sciolto nel 1312, dal sovrano Federico III di Sicilia, l'anno dopo passò sotto la conduzione dei religiosi dell'Ordine di Sant'Agostino che l'ampliarono secondo i canoni del gotico. Il tempio ricopriva il ruolo di chiesa madre.
Divenuta nel XVI secolo chiesa del Senato cittadino. Nel 1535 giurò Carlo V d'Asburgo il riconoscimento dei privilegi cittadini: "Drepanum civitas invictissima in qua Caesar primum juravit".
L'imperatore sbarcò al ritorno dall'Africa (dopo la vittoriosa Conquista di Tunisi) il 20 agosto con 20.000 schiavi cristiani liberati, fu una tappa minore del viaggio imperiale che si protrasse fino al 25.
Nel XIX secolo la chiesa, chiusa al culto, è stata profondamente modificata. I bombardamenti del secondo conflitto mondiale nel 1943 distrussero l'abside ed una parte della navata, in seguito ricostruite. Prima della ristrutturazione effettuata dopo la seconda guerra mondiale, la chiesa presentava una porta rivolta a nord e l'altra a mezzogiorno; quest'ultima immetteva nel chiostro dell'ex convento degli Eremiti di Sant'Agostino.
Dell'assetto originario resta il prospetto principale, con una facciata a capanna, un ampio rosone (stile chiaramontano del XIV secolo). Sul portale in stile gotico, dentro una nicchia, è collocata una Madonna col Bambino del Gagini.
Il rosone, costruito da maestranze locali con pietra proveniente dalle antiche cave di Pietretagliate. Gli archetti intrecciati che lo compongono creano un dinamico movimento che si dispiega lungo la raggiera di esili colonnine che conducono lo sguardo all'Agnello, centro focale di un annuncio cristologico, prima ancora che chiave architettonica di un elemento ornamentale. È dominato dai simboli delle tre principali religioni monoteiste: le gelosie traforate sono tipicamente arabe, le stelle di Davide, ebraiche, e l'Agnus Dei, al centro. Il tutto incastonato nel motivo a vesica piscis e decorato con elementi fitomorfi che richiamano il paradiso terrestre, simboli tipicamente cristiani. Dal centro si dipartono dodici colonnine che dividono il rosone in parti uguali.
