This was taken with the other picture on Vermunt Stausee Silvretta. Maybe it is boring to show two pictures of the same subject. But when I view to my archive this always leaps to my eye. First I prefer the other one, but now I am with this. I don't know what is the reason, maybe the red aid box, or the line of the stage. I hope you could see it with the first view and tell me...

La chapelle Notre-Dame-du-Haut, construite sur la colline de Bourlémont à Ronchamp en Haute-Saône, est une création de l'architecte franco-suisse Le Corbusier.
Commencée en 1950 elle fut terminée en 1955. La chapelle a été bénie le 25 juin 1955 par l’archevêque de Besançon, puis consacrée par son successeur en 2005.
La chapelle est construite sur les ruines d'un sanctuaire datant du Moyen Âge, définitivement détruit par des bombardements en septembre 1944, bien qu'il eût subi au cours des siècles de nombreux dégâts causés par les orages et les guerres. Ce sanctuaire chrétien connaît chaque 8 septembre un important pèlerinage pour célébrer la nativité de la sainte Vierge.
Après la fin de la guerre, les habitants de la région de Ronchamp et la Commission d'art sacré de Besançon, décidèrent de la reconstruction de la chapelle et firent appel au célèbre architecte Le Corbusier, alors plutôt connu pour être l'inventeur de l'Unité d'habitation, comme solution aux problèmes de logements de l'après-guerre. Cependant, les premiers contacts entre les religieux et l'architecte furent plutôt rugueux car ce dernier n'était pas très porté sur la foi ; protestant d'origine, il disait avoir des ancêtres cathares, mais se déclarait athée.
À 63 ans, Le Corbusier se lance cependant dans l'aventure de la reconstruction de la chapelle Notre-Dame-du-Haut à Ronchamp. C'était son premier projet d'un bâtiment cultuel, bien qu'il eût travaillé en 1929 sur les plans de l'église de Tremblay-lès-Gonesse. Lyrique sur la beauté du site, il a dit : « Je n'avais rien fait de religieux, mais quand je me suis trouvé devant ces quatre horizons, je n'ai pu hésiter ».
En 1965, la chapelle ainsi que les bâtiments annexes ont été inscrits monument historique, en 1967 la chapelle a été classée et en 2004 les annexes de la chapelle (la maison du gardien, l'abri du pèlerin et les tables de béton, la cave, la pyramide) ainsi que le campanile de Prouvé ont été classés.
La chapelle est construite avec des pierres de récupération remplissant l'ossature en béton. Les murs sont recouverts de béton projeté enduit de chaux blanche. La coque de béton formant la couverture a été construite à l'aide d'un coffrage en bois ; les empreintes des planches sont encore visibles. Seule l'ossature de béton porte ce toit qui ne touche pas le remplissage de pierre ; ainsi, un vide de quelques centimètres permet à la lumière de passer entre le toit et le mur.
L'architecture toute en rondeur de la chapelle est surprenante pour ceux qui voyaient en Le Corbusier un architecte ne jurant que par l'angle droit. En plan, tous les murs sont courbes. Les clochers le sont également. Ces formes sont issues de la Nature. Le Corbusier s'est inspiré du dessin d'une carapace de crabe pour concevoir le toit. De plus, l'édifice se veut en harmonie avec le paysage vallonné des Vosges : les courbes de la chapelle répondent aux collines environnantes. La possibilité d'organiser de grandes messes en plein air participe de cette communion avec la nature. Les courbes sont également présentes à l'intérieur : le sol est incurvé, tout comme le couvrement.
Ces formes organiques peuvent être liées au contexte architectural des années 1950. Après des années d'Entre-deux-guerres où la droite l'emportait dans la plupart des projets modernes, les années 1950-1960 voient le développement des courbes et contre-courbes. Frank Lloyd Wright avec le musée Guggenheim de New York avait ouvert la voie que suivront Eero Saarinen ou Jorn Utzon. Le Corbusier, qui utilisait déjà des formes organiques dans ses villas des années 1920, a développé cette esthétique à partir de la Cité radieuse de Marseille (conçue en 1947).
La chapelle est pleine de contradictions architecturales, à la fois carrée et ronde, élancée et trapue, basse et haute. Selon Christophe Cousin, le directeur du Musée d'art et d'histoire de Belfort : « Elle a un plan très simple mais quand on est sur place, ce n'est pas du tout évident ». Vaste et ouverte sur l'extérieur, elle devient, le seuil franchi, un tout petit lieu de recueillement. Avec le blanc éclatant de ses murs, elle semble illustrer le grand principe de son architecte, pour lequel « l'émotion architecturale, c'est le jeu savant, correct et magnifique des volumes assemblés sous la lumière. »
Le travail de la lumière est plus sensible encore dans la chapelle. Son intrusion contredit l'épaisseur des murs et la massivité du couvrement. Le mur sud est percé d'une série de pyramides tronquées qui apportent avec une grande subtilité la lumière colorée par les vitraux. Le mur Est est aussi parsemé de jours carrés et d'une niche vitrée renfermant une statue de la Vierge. Par ailleurs, un espace interstitiel entre les murs et la voute de béton permet à la lumière de passer ce qui allège visuellement la masse du couvrement. Enfin, les chapelles bénéficient d'une lumière zénithale indirecte.
A noter que, pour la conception de cette œuvre, Le Corbusier s'est inspiré de l'architecture de la Mosquée de Sidi Brahim, sise à El-Ateuf, en Algérie.
Le travail de Le Corbusier à Ronchamp va au-delà de la conception de la chapelle. Étant peintre, il a dessiné le décor de la porte d'entrée et les vitraux. De plus, le site comprend une ziggourat faite de vieilles pierres, un clocher conçu notamment par Jean Prouvé, une maison d'habitation et un bâtiment collectif à la toiture engazonnée.
Le Corbusier participera à l'édification de deux autres bâtiments cultuels en France : le couvent Sainte-Marie-de-la-Tourette, de 1957 à 1959, et l'église Saint-Pierre de Firminy.

Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. March 2018.
Bangladesh has been hosting Rohingya refugees from Myanmar for nearly 30 years. Since August 2017, some 693,000 Rohingya’s have made their way to Cox’s Bazar in desperate conditions. Of them, 51 per cent are women. The refugee population in Bangladeshi settlements has more than doubled; camps are overcrowded, needs are immediate and enormous, and resources are stretched.
Pictured: A woman in a stands outside the Women's Centre in Balukhali camp March 6, 2018. As of January 2018, UN Women has set up the first Multi-Purpose Women's Centre in the Balukhali refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar, in partnership with Action Aid and with support from UN Women National Committee Australia. The Centre provides a safe space for Rohingya women and adolescent girls, where they can build a social network, access information and referral services for gender-based violence, and seek psycho-social counselling. The centre also offers skills training in literacy, livelihood options, leadership and disaster preparedness, and raises awareness about gender issues and risks.

Coonalpyn – from Desert to Downs.
In the early years, Coonalpyn was known as the Ninety Mile Desert. It was not a desert in a true sense as it consisted of Mallee scrub, yaccas and banksias interspersed with lagoon and swamp flats, low fossil limestone hills and sand ridges. Early in 1850 Police Inspector Tolmer travelled through this vast uninhabited area on his way to the Victorian Goldfields to safely bring gold back to SA for assaying here. After 1852 Government wells and signs were established every 20 miles to aid travellers passing though the desert country. The pastoral era began with John Barton Hack who had a pastoral property here and chose the name Coonalpyn Downs for his estate from a local Aboriginal word meaning barren woman. Coonalpyn Downs was a 123 square mile leasehold property. It had several owners in the 19th century and the homestead was a substantial six roomed stone dwelling. By 1895 the land from Tailem Bend through to Coonalpyn and Tintinara was being managed under pastoral lease by the Cooke Family. Parts of it were resumed by the government to create settlements along the intercolonial railway line to Melbourne but larger areas were not resumed until the early 20th century. Coonalpyn is situated in the Hundred of Coneybeer which was declared and surveyed around 1895. (Frederick Coneybeer was a unionist and state parliamentarian for most years from 1893 to 1930.)
In 1887 the Adelaide-Melbourne rail link opened up the area and a small settlement at Coonalpyn was established. It began with the Coonalpyn Post Office followed by the primary school in 1889. But the township of Coonalpyn was proclaimed in 1909. The Coonalpyn Congregational (now Uniting) Church on Poyntz Terrace now the Dukes Highway was built in 1927 but Congregational services were held in the old institute from 1907. Fund raising for the Coonalpyn Congregational Church was under way by 1919. Also in 1927 the primary school moved from the institute hall where it had been held to a new government school room in the western part of Coonalpyn. Coonalpyn originally had two Lutheran Congregations (Bethlehem and Emmanuel) which were formed in 1930 and in 1940 respectively. They both held services in the Institute but in the early 1950s the two congregations cooperated to build a Lutheran Church at a cost of £5,000 that both congregations could use. The new church was dedicated in November 1952 and was the first Lutheran Church in Australia to serve both main Lutheran synods (ELCA and UELCA). In 1966 with Lutheran churches unification it changed its name to Redeemer Lutheran Church. E.T.S.A power came to Coonalpyn in 1962. Before this, private operators supplied electricity. A boost to the community occurred in 1968 when a water pipeline from Tailem Bend to Keith was constructed. The Coonalpyn Hotel was proposed in 1953 and finally constructed in 1956. The town has a general cemetery on the outskirts. The stone RSL Hall was the original institute hall which closed in 1953 when a new one opened. This institute was open by 1906 and during the 1930s and 1940s Catholic masses were held within it. The old institute was sold at public auction in 1954. It is not known when the RSL acquired it. The new 1953 Institute was built at a cost of £8,000 and it was opened by the Premer Sir Thomas Playford. Catholic masses were moved to the new institute after 1954. The town also still holds an annual agricultural show which was first held in 1945. A new bank of Adelaide opened in 1954 in the former chemist shop. The town was growing.
In the early 1950s the town boomed as the so called Ninety Mile Desert was transformed into the Coonalpyn Downs with the addition of trace elements to the soil which suddenly made them productive for some crops but especially for pastures (subterranean clover) for sheep and cattle. This important work took years of research and development and the actual discovery of the importance of trace elements to soil fertility was only discovered by intelligent chance by scientist Hedley Marston and his colleague David Riceman. Riceman noticed grass under coper power lines was greener than grass elsewhere because of constant dripping water from the wires in winter. He investigated this further. Marston’s work with trace elements transformed the Ninety Mile Desert from poor scrub to thriving farms carrying luxuriant pastures. Deficiencies of copper and zinc as well as of phosphorus in the sandy soils of the area were demonstrated by Marston's colleague, D.S. Riceman. Co-operative experiments with a private landowner, Mr J.E. Becker (later Sir Ellerton Becker) were begun by Riceman in 1944 which led to a definition of the mineral nutrients limiting pasture establishment. Superphosphate appropriately supplemented with copper and zinc gave spectacular pasture and cropping results. The Australian Mutual Provident Society invested capital in family farm holdings and first developed much of the land which it later sold to farmers. The prices of land in the Coonalpyn district and Keith area rose from about 25/- per hectare to about £25! This was a major scientific breakthrough. Much of David Riceman’s experimental work was carried on the property of Sir Ellerton Becker near Keith.
Today after decades of decline it is now revitalised by the silo art of the town. Bulk handling of grain began in SA in the early 1950s but most silos in the Upper South East were only built in the 1960s or later. They are now managed by Viterra grain buyers and exporters. Victoria began silo art in Australia and created a specific silo art trial across the Victorian Wimmera several years ago. Coonalpyn decided to follow suit in an attempt to revitalise the town. The silo art in Coonalpyn was only completed in April 2017. The paintings are 35 metres high. Five silos were painted and the work was done with a grant from the Coorong Council. $80,000 was needed for the project with local fund raising and grants from Country Arts SA and the Regional Arts fund. The Coorong Council employed the services of Brisbane artist Guido van Helten who created the first silo art mural in the Victorian Wimmera town of Brim. Helten visited the town of Coonalpyn for most of the month of February and decided to use actual portraits of children from the Coonalpyn School. They are truly stunning and they are encouraging some of the four to five thousands vehicles a day that pass through the town to stop and look more closely at the silo art. Van Helten has painted similar giant silos in Florida, Russia, Mexico, Poland, the Ukraine, and Belgium etc. To take advantage of the silo art a new café and coffee shop has opened in Coonalpyn. South Australia is unlikely to create a silo art trail as the next silos transformed by art are in Kimba about 660 kilometres away! Above is the silo art of Brim in Victoria’s Wimmera painted by the same artist but it is less successful than the Coonalpyn silo art. The colours are drabber, all the faces look downwards and it is extremely difficult to tell that the third figure form the left is a female farmer. In our view he should have made the contribution of local women to farming at Brim much more obvious. Coonalpyn is also the home of the Careship Coorong snail farm. It was established in 2011 to provide a kind of therapeutic environment for people suffering from dementia. Volunteers run the snail farm and the coordinator learn of the scheme from care farms in the Netherlands. The farm is home to about 15,000 snails which will be harvested from 2018 as they are destined to become a gourmet style of pâté. The dementia volunteers capture escaped snails and ensure the gardens are thriving to provide food for the snails. The farm has received an Alzheimer’s Australia award and it is the first snail farm in Australia but the concept of care farms for dementia sufferers is more common in Europe.
