The History of Bolsover Castle
Bolsover occupies the hilltop site of a medieval fortress built by the Peverel family. The wealthy Sir Charles Cavendish - who already owned several other great mansions, including one only a few miles away -bought the old fortress in 1612 and began work on his Little Castle project. His son William - playboy, poet, courtier and later Civil War Royalist general and first Duke of Newcastle - inherited the Little Castle in 1617 and set about its completion, assisted by the architect John Smythson. What resulted was a kind of 'toy keep', housing tiers of luxurious staterooms. The exquisitely carved fireplaces, and richly-coloured murals and panelling of its miraculously preserved and beautifully restored interiors still take the visitor on an allegorical journey from earthly concerns to heavenly (and erotic) delights.
William also added the vast and stately Terrace Range overlooking the Vale of Scarsdale, now a dramatic roofless shell. To show off his achievement, in 1634 he invited King Charles I and his court to Love's Welcome to Bolsover, a masque specially written by Ben Jonson for performance in the Fountain Garden. Finally he constructed the cavernous Riding House with its magnificent roof and viewing galleries, among the finest surviving indoor riding schools in the country and a landmark in British equestrianism: here he indulged his passion for training great horses in stately dressage.
The Venus Fountain, with 23 new statues, plays again for the first time in centuries, and the 'Caesar paintings' commissioned by Cavendish and depicting Roman emperors and empresses have also returned to Bolsover.

Keystone above the main entrance of the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, featuring the name of God in Hebrew (Yahweh) carved in it. There's a story that Abraham Staab, a wealthy Jewish merchant in Santa Fe, lent Archbishop Lamy money to finish the Cathedral. In appreciation, Lamy put the Hebrew inscription above the entrance to the cathedral.

Looking up at the ceiling of the structure in the previous photo. It has the 12 astrological signs around the outside, and 9 images in the center that I'm not so sure about. They might be a depiction of "the nine virtues attributed to the Buddha" but that's just a wild guess, and I'm not exactly sure what that even means. I can see the "sleeping Buddha" which is a famous sculpture in Bangkok, and what looks like Buddha under the Bhodi tree, which as the story goes, is where Buddha attained enlightenment, so by best guess is that it's depicting the various stages of Buddhas life.

Some civilizations have worked plaster for its practical and decorative. Many discoveries has confirmed its usefulness in particular:
- South of Lake Tiberias in Israel, where the floors are coated with plaster since 7000 years before Christ - At the Sumerians and Assyrians
- In Egypt, where blocks of 16 tons are sealed and assembled on the famous pyramid of Cheops high to 2800 BC
- At the Romans who used them to their homes and to achieve casts on nature
- In Gaul after the Roman invasion, where the plaster has been used to replace the huts into homes stronger
- In Merovingian who made an art funeral to VI and VII centuries with more than 2000 sarcophagi found in the Paris Basin.

Dijon - Eglise Notre-Dame (XIIIe) - Bras sud du Transept.
.
L'église Notre-Dame fut dotée dès le XIIIe siècle de vitraux de grande qualité. Il n'en reste que cinq, dans les lancettes du bras nord du transept, réalisés vers 1235. De gauche à droite, les deux premiers représentent des épisodes de la vie de saint Pierre, et les trois suivants, des moments de la vie de saint André..
.
À partir de 1874, le peintre verrier parisien Édouard Didron réalisa de nouveaux vitraux inspirés des cinq d'origine. Jusqu'en 1897, il créa un ensemble de cinquante-huit verrières. Parmi elles, les plus grandes sont celles qui garnissent les deux roses des pignons nord et sud des bras du transept, mesurant 6 m de diamètre..
