La basilique Notre-Dame de Fourvière surplombe la ville de Lyon depuis le sommet de la colline de Fourvière depuis la fin du XIXᵉ siècle. Elle est construite à peu près sur l'emplacement de l'ancien forum de Trajan, Forum vetus.
I bought this tiny house dollhouse (of the brand Kidkraft) from Tuesday Morning a number of years ago. Even though it's just a "tiny" doll home, it's still been some work!
I re-covered the floor with wood grain contact paper, and repainted the interior walls gray to cover up the painted-on, two-dimensional [pink and purple] furniture and accessories. There are some additional railings for the front porch (not visible here) and the roof deck that still need to be painted, as they're hot pink. Parts of the exterior also need paint and/or faux siding.
The original ladder, wheels, and towing apparatus (OH, the realism) were gray, so they've been allowed to retain their original state.
Basil (originally a character from Omori) is the lucky 1/6 scale person who has come to call this tiny house a home. Is the house canon to Omori? Not in the least (minus the flower shelf with the thematic flowers and vases!). Did I still try to make it seem like a place where this characer, specifically, would live? Yes. Hence the plants, the pets, the camera, and the color green...

Clockwise, starting from the bed loft, and throwing things from related sources together in the list--these are the things in this tiny home and where they came from:
Futon and comforter, rattan chair, beige couch: made by me
Large succulent, snail figurine: from Michael's
"Table" on rooftop deck (actually a little plant stand), large white vase, living room "table": Target's dollar spot
Betta fish in bowl: MGA Miniverse Make It Mini Lifestyle
Retro fridge: 5 Below
Flower "rug" (coaster): thrifted
Dishwasher/counter/sink unit: Mattel, painted by me
Green tea: Zuru Mini Brands
Camera: Claire's (originally an earring, I think??)
"Plant Kingdom" book: DreamKrafter
"Candle" on living room table: repurposed beads
Flower crown: LittlePrincessCrown
Backpack: ByRungrawee
Flower shelf: Mattel (see this photo for more details on the flowers www.flickr.com/photos/sadeyeddoll/52859785036/in/album-72...)
Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F11, 1/30, ISO 200) + a Canon EF-S 60mm macro lens with 37mm of extension + a diffused MT-24EX (+1/3 FEC) with head "A" set as the key and head "B" as the fill. This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
Technique: I used a syringe to inject 2:1 sugar syrup into a Basil flower. Ignore the shutter -the flash is the only significant light source on the subject. I dragged the shutter to expose the background. This time the bees recognized me and knew what I was doing, going directly to the flowers as soon as I added the syrup. Lately I've been looking for these head on vertical compositions -hopefully it's out of my head now. I shot this scene with the camera held horizontally but framed it, and adjusted the position of the flash heads, for a vertical shot. To me it's easier to take portraits with the camera held in a landscape orientation.
Basil is stabled at the farm where we stay on holiday, and we have known him since he was only a few weeks old

English actor Basil Rathbone (1892-1967) appeared both in British and Hollywood films. He rose to prominence in the United Kingdom as a Shakespearean stage actor and went on to appear in more than 70 films. He played suave villains in such classic Swashbucklers as Captain Blood (1935) and The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938). He also became well-known for his roles in Horror films and for playing Sherlock Holmes in a total of 14 detective films between 1939 and 1946. Rathbone was a Tony Award winner. and was nominated for an Oscar twice.
Philip St. John Basil Rathbone was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1892 to British parents. His mother Anna Babera George was a violinist, his father Edgar Philip Rathbone a mining engineer. Three years later his family was forced to flee the country because his father was accused by the Boers of being a British spy at a time when Dutch-British conflicts were leading to the Boer War. The Rathbones escaped to England, where Basil and his two younger siblings, Beatrice and John, were raised. From 1906 to 1910 Rathbone attended Repton School, where he was more interested in sports - especially fencing, at which he excelled - than studies, but where he also discovered his interest in the theatre. After graduation he planned to pursue acting as a profession, but his father disapproved and suggested that his son try working in business for a year, hoping he would forget about acting. Rathbone accepted his father's suggestion and worked as a clerk for an insurance company - for exactly one year. Then he contacted his cousin Frank Benson, an actor managing a Shakespearean troupe in Stratford-on-Avon. Rathbone was hired as an actor on the condition that he work his way through the ranks, which he did quite rapidly. Starting in bit parts in 1911, he was playing juvenile leads within two years. In 1915 his career was interrupted by the First World War. During his military service, as a second lieutenant in the Liverpool Scottish 2nd Battalion, he worked in intelligence and received the Military Cross for bravery. In 1919, released from military service, he returned to Stratford-on-Avon and continued with Shakespeare but after a year moved onto the London stage. The year after that he made his first appearance on Broadway and his film debut in the silent Innocent (Maurice Elvey, 1921).
For the remainder of the decade, Basil Rathbone alternated between the London and New York stages and occasional appearances in films. In 1929 he co-wrote and starred as the title character in a short-running Broadway play called 'Judas'. Soon afterwards he abandoned his first love, the theatre, for a film career. During the 1920s, his roles had evolved from the romantic lead to the suave lady-killer to the sinister villain (usually wielding a sword), and Hollywood put him to good use during the 1930s in numerous costume romps, including Captain Blood (Michael Curtiz, 1935) starring Errtol Flynn, The Personal History, Adventures, Experience, & Observation of David Copperfield the Younger (George Cukor, 1935), A Tale of Two Cities (Jack Conway, 1935) with Ronald Colman , Anna Karenina (Clarence Brown, 1935) starring Greta Garbo, The Last Days of Pompeii (Ernest B. Schoedsack, Merian C. Cooper, 1935), The Adventures of Robin Hood (Michael Curtiz, 1938), and The Mark of Zorro (Rouben Mamoulian, 1940) starring Tyrone Power. Rathbone earned two Oscar nominations for Best Supporting Actor as Tybalt in Romeo and Juliet (George Cukor, 1936) and as King Louis XI in If I Were King (Frank Lloyd, 1938). He also appeared in several early horror films: Tower of London (Rowland V. Lee, 1939), as Richard III, and Son of Frankenstein (Rowland V. Lee, 1939), portraying the dedicated surgeon Baron Wolf von Frankenstein, son of the monster's creator
However, it was in 1939 that Basil Rathbone played his best-known and most popular character, Sherlock Holmes, with Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson, first in The Hound of the Baskervilles (Sidney Lanfield, 1939) and then in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Alfred L. Werker, 1939), which were followed by 12 more films and numerous radio broadcasts over the next seven years. Feeling that his identification with the character was killing his film career, Rathbone went back to New York and the stage in 1946. The next year he won a Tony Award for his portrayal of Dr. Sloper in the Broadway play 'The Heiress', but afterwards he found little rewarding stage work. Nevertheless, during the last two decades of his life, Rathbone was a very busy actor, appearing on numerous television shows, primarily drama, variety and game shows; in occasional films, such as Casanova's Big Night (Norman Z. McLeod, 1954), The Court Jester (Melvin Frank, Norman Panama,1955) with Danny Kaye, Tales of Terror (Roger Corman, 1962) and The Comedy of Terrors (Jacques Tourneur, 1963); and in his own one-man show, 'An Evening with Basil Rathbone', with which he toured the U.S. In 1967, Basil Rathbone died of a heart attack in New York City at the age of 75. He was married twice. His first wife was Ethel Marion Foreman (1914-1926). After their divorce, he married actress, playwright and screenwriter Ouida Bergère in 1926. They adopted a child, Cynthia Rathbone. He also had a son with Ethel Marion Foreman: John Rodion. Rathbone remained married to Ouida for over 41 years until his death, and the marriage was considered one of the most exemplary in Hollywood. The couple hosted glamorous parties at their estate in California, which had also once been occupied by Jack Dempsey.

Dans la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle, D. Marie I, fille de D. José I, avait promis de construire une église si elle avait un fils qui héritait du trône portugais. Son vœu fut accompli et la construction de la Basilique da Estrela a débuté en 1779. Pourtant, son fils José décéda de la varicelle deux ans avant la fin de sa construction en 1790. L’énorme église, avec une coupole, située sur une colline à l’ouest de la ville, est l’une de ses principales références, visible depuis n’importe quel point. La basilique a été construite par des architectes de l’Ecole de Mafra en style baroque et néoclassique et dont l'intérieur est recouvert de marbre rose. A l'extérieur est le jardin de l'étoile, un centre très calme de Lisbonne, avec plusieurs étangs, ombragé et endroits sympas pour passer un moment calme et reposant.
Making a cold basil sauce with leaves from that plant that now have turned into a blooming bush can easily go down south, for reals.
She liked it?
Good enough for me.

La basilique Saint-Denis est une église de style gothique située au centre de la ville de Saint-Denis, à 5 kilomètres au nord de Paris.
À ses origines, l'ancienne abbaye royale de Saint-Denis est associée à l'histoire des Francs. L'église abbatiale a été dénommée « basilique » dès l'époque mérovingienne. Elle s'élève sur l'emplacement d'un cimetière gallo-romain, lieu de sépulture de saint Denis martyrisé vers 250. Le transept de l'église abbatiale, d'une ampleur exceptionnelle, était destiné à accueillir les tombeaux royaux. Elle est ainsi la nécropole des rois de France depuis les Robertiens et Capétiens directs, même si plusieurs rois mérovingiens puis carolingiens avaient choisi d'y reposer avant eux.

Notre Dame de la Garde :
L'arcature du chevet, au-dessus de l'abside, contient une mosaïque représentant l'annonciation faite à Marie : à droite l'ange Gabriel, envoyé par Dieu, dit à Marie « Voici que tu concevras dans ton sein et enfanteras un fils et tu le nommeras Jésus ».
À gauche la Vierge Marie donne son acquiescement.
