Fotografies de la zona de combats de la Batalla del Ebre (1938).
Vilaba dels Arcs vista des del front republicà entorn el cementiri.
El dia 26 de juliol la 33 Brigada republicana captura el cementiri de Vilalba dels Arcs, situant-se per tant just al est de la vila. Però la vall de Lo Camí de Xivell, que els separa del nucli urbà, es molt facil de defensar des de una fortalesa natural com és Vilalba, sobretot des del est.
Des del 27 fins el 31 de juliol. els republicans intentaran conquerir Vilalba, arribant pel que sembla a les primeres cases del poble, però sent refusats. De fet, el 31 mateix abandonen el cementiri, ja que està massa exposat al foc enemic. Així acaben els combats en aquest sector de la batalla.
La batalla de l'Ebre (25 juliol - 16 novembre de 1938) fou la més important i mortifera de la guerra civil espanyola. Hi ha que també la consideren també la més decisiva, però crec que per desgracia la guerra ja estava decidida de molt abans, com a minim des del trencament del front d'Aragó el 9 de març del mateix any.
Tot i que l'exèrcit republicà creuà l'Ebre el 25 de juliol del 1938 per molts punts entre Mequinensa i Amposta, la major part dels combats de la batalla es donaren a la Terra Alta, a la zona entre Vilalba dels Arcs, La Fatarella, Camposines i Gandesa, a més de la Serra de Pandols.

============================================
This is part of the Ebro battlefield (1938), in Southern Catalonia.
Vilaba dels Arcs seen from the republican front around the cemetery. Part of the village was bombed and burnt in the fight.
On July 26, the 33rd Republican Brigade captured the cemetery of Vilalba dels Arcs, thus being located just east of the town. But the valley which separates them from the village is very easy to defend from a natural fortress such as Vilalba, especially from the east.
From the 27th to the 31st of July. the republicans will try to conquer Vilalba, arriving apparently at the first houses of the village, but being rejected. In fact, on the 31st they leave the cemetery itself, as it is too exposed to enemy fire. Thus ends the fighting in this sector of the battle.
The Battle of the Ebro (July 25 - November 16, 1938) was the most important and deadlier of the Spanish Civil War. There are those who also consider it the most decisive, but I think that unfortunately the war was already decided long before, at least since the breaking of the front of Aragon on March 9 of the same year.
The battle began with the greatest offensive made by the Republican forces, when they crossed the river Ebro between Mequinensa and Amposta (especially between Riba-roja and Miravet), and advanced to the line La Pobla de Massaluca -Vilalba dels Arcs -Gandesa - Serra de Pandols . But in just 48 hours, the dazzling advance was stopped short. Then Franco decided to crush the republican forces hill by hill (with massive artillery and bomber barrages), in a battle of attrition identical to the First World War for which the Republicans had no resources or alternative, especially with the river behind them. The main assaults, which lasted from August 10 to October 29, were concentrated in a very small and devastated area: the triangle Vertex Gaeta - Corbera - Camposines.
Finally, a final offensive on October 30 occupied the ridge of the Serra de Cavalls, making the entire Republican bridgehead unsustainable, which managed, however, to withdraw in an orderly manner until November 16. But the damage was already done, and there were no forces left for a proper defense of Catalonia, which fell three months later. Then, fascist darkness.

The Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile is one of the most famous monuments in Paris. It stands in the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle (originally named Place de l'Étoile), at the western end of the Champs-Élysées.[3] It should not be confused with a smaller arch, the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, which stands west of the Louvre. The Arc de Triomphe (in English: "Triumphal Arch") honours those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and the Napoleonic Wars, with the names of all French victories and generals inscribed on its inner and outer surfaces. Beneath its vault lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I.

Sun rising and the moon setting over the Clyde Arc on a very cold crisp morning. It was -8deg on the car temperature gauge when I got back to the car. Very cold but well worth it. My Cameras two batteries drained completely in about 1 hour, when in normal conditions they normally last about 3 days heavy shooting.
The Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel is a triumphal arch in Paris, located in the Place du Carrousel. It is an example of Neoclassical architecture in the Corinthian order. It was built between 1806 and 1808 to commemorate Napoleon's military victories of the previous year. The Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile, at the far end of the Champs Élysées, was designed in the same year; it is about twice the size and was not completed until 1836.
The monument is 63 feet (19 m) high, 75 feet (23 m) wide, and 24 feet (7.3 m) deep.[2] The 21 feet (6.4 m) high central arch is flanked by two smaller ones, 14 feet (4.3 m) high, and 9 feet (2.7 m) wide. Around its exterior are eight Corinthian columns of marble, topped by eight soldiers of the Empire. On the pediment, between the soldiers, bas-reliefs depict:
the Arms of the Kingdom of Italy with figures representing History and the Arts
the Arms of the French Empire with Victory, Fame, History, and Abundance
Wisdom and Strength holding the arms of the Kingdom of Italy, accompanied by Prudence and Victory.
Napoleon's diplomatic and military victories are commemorated by bas-reliefs executed in rose marble. They depict:
the Peace of Pressburg
Napoleon entering Munich
Napoleon entering Vienna, sculptor Louis-Pierre Deseine
the Battle of Austerlitz, sculptor Jean-Joseph Espercieux
the Tilsit Conference
the surrender of Ulm, sculptor Pierre Cartellier
The arch is derivative of the triumphal arches of the Roman Empire, in particular that of Septimius Severus in Rome. The subjects of the bas-reliefs devoted to the battles were selected by the director of the Napoleon Museum (Paris) (located at the time in the Louvre), Vivant Denon, and designed by Charles Meynier.
The upper frieze on the on entablement has sculptures of soldiers: Auguste Marie Taunay's cuirassier (left), Charles-Louis Corbet's dragoon, Joseph Chinard's horse grenadier and Jacques-Edme Dumont's sapper.
The quadriga atop the entablement is a copy of the so-called Horses of Saint Mark that adorn the top of the main door of the St Mark's Basilica in Venice but during both French empires the originals were brought up for special occasions.
Designed by Charles Percier and Pierre François Léonard Fontaine, the arch was built between 1806 and 1808 by the Emperor Napoleon I, on the model of the Arch of Constantine (312 AD) in Rome, as a gateway of the Tuileries Palace, the Imperial residence. The destruction of the Tuileries Palace during the Paris Commune in 1871, allowed an unobstructed view west towards the Arc de Triomphe.
It was originally surmounted by the Horses of Saint Mark from Saint Mark's Cathedral in Venice, which had been captured in 1798 by Napoleon. In 1815, following the Battle of Waterloo and the Bourbon restoration, France ceded the quadriga to the Austrian Empire which had annexed Venice under the terms of the Congress of Vienna. The Austrians immediately returned the statuary to Venice. The horses of Saint Mark were replaced in 1828 by a quadriga sculpted by Baron François Joseph Bosio, depicting Peace riding in a triumphal chariot led by gilded Victories on both sides. The composition commemorates the Restoration of the Bourbons following Napoleon's downfall.
The Arc du Carrousel inspired the design of Marble Arch, constructed in London between 1826 and 1833.
Here is the Arc de Triomphe, this photo is part of my urban landscape master class, it was a happy accident because I started to do a long exposure but there were too many cars so I took my camera off my tripod and I am quite happy with this end result!

et surement beaucoup d'autres.
The Arc Reactor and Hall of Armour were a couple of the last builds I did before ECCE and I had to deal with only the parts I had as I had no time left to Bricklink parts. Also, my parts were pretty exhausted at this point and I was still happy with the result.
Two more scratched off my list. I would have lit both builds, but some early morning wiring the week before the Expo resulted in me shorting out my remaining lights... Only thing I might change is the elastic in the center ring. I have black pneumatic tubing that I had intended to use because it would replicate the right width, but I couldn't bring myself to cut it.
From top to bottom: a circumzenithal arc, supralateral arc (a comparatively rare member of the halo family), Parry arc, upper tangent arc, and 22° halo; halos can have many forms, ranging from colored or white rings to arcs and spots, many of these near the Sun or Moon, others elsewhere or even in the opposite part of the sky, and haloes can form at 46° to the sun, or at the horizon, or around the zenith, appearing as full halos or incomplete arcs
To all who visit and view, and – especially – express support and satisfaction: you are much appreciated!

This is the rear face of the arc building in Hull. Try as I might, I couldn't get a decent picture out of the slopey side and the forest of solar panels & windmills, but the back is quite colourful! Sorry about the weeds.
Edit: I've just found arc's website, and there is a photo exactly like mine, even to the extent of correcting the verticals. Bugger. I didn't see it first, honest!
