Tulips (Tulipa) form a genus of spring-blooming perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes (having bulbs as storage organs). The flowers are usually large, showy and brightly colored, generally red, pink, yellow, or white (usually in warm colors). They often have a different colored blotch at the base of the tepals (petals and sepals, collectively), internally. Tulips originally were found in a band stretching from Southern Europe to Central Asia, but since the seventeenth century have become widely naturalised and cultivated. Flowering in the spring, they become dormant in the summer once the flowers and leaves die back, emerging above ground as a shoot from the underground bulb in early spring. The tulip's flowers are usually large and are actinomorphic (radially symmetric) and hermaphrodite (contain both male (androecium) and female (gynoecium) characteristics), generally erect, or more rarely pendulous, and are arranged more usually as a single terminal flower, or when pluriflor as two to three (e.g. Tulipa turkestanica), but up to four, flowers on the end of a floriferous stem (scape), which is single arising from amongst the basal leaf rosette. 11717
"The Happy Family" is a renowned painting created by the Dutch artist Jan Steen. Painted during the 17th century, Steen was known for his ability to capture scenes of everyday life with a touch of humor and wit. "The Happy Family" exemplifies his style and showcases his talent for storytelling within a single image.
In this painting, Steen depicts a bustling household filled with various members of a family engaged in different activities. The composition is lively and intricate, presenting a chaotic yet harmonious scene. Steen's attention to detail is evident as he portrays each character with unique facial expressions and body language, adding depth and personality to the painting.
At the center of the composition, a jovial couple sits at a table, surrounded by their children and other relatives. The scene is filled with laughter, lively conversation, and playful interactions. The family members engage in various activities, such as eating, drinking, playing music, and engaging in games. Steen's use of vibrant colors and intricate brushwork further enhances the joyful atmosphere of the painting.
Despite the apparent chaos, "The Happy Family" also carries a deeper message. It serves as a reminder of the importance of familial bonds and the joys of shared moments. Steen's portrayal of the diverse characters and their interactions reflects the complexities and dynamics of family life. Through his portrayal, he highlights both the humorous and challenging aspects of domesticity.
"The Happy Family" is a testament to Jan Steen's skill as a painter and his ability to capture the essence of human experience. It continues to be appreciated for its rich storytelling, vibrant imagery, and its ability to evoke a range of emotions from viewers. The painting stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of art that celebrates the joys and challenges of family life.

On the centuries-old Soelen estate lies Soelen Castle. The castle is surrounded by a moat and all around is an extensive (linear) landscape of forest and meadows crisscrossed with hiking trails. Since the early 1990s, Soelen Castle and the surrounding 157-hectare estate have been owned by Staatsbosbeheer. It was recently decided to sell the apartments in the castle, the coach house, the apartment in the gatehouse and the garages owned by Staatsbosbeheer.

The Church of the Saviour at Berestove is located to the North of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra. It was constructed in the village of Berestove around the start of the 11th century during the reign of Prince Volodymyr Monomakh. It later served as the mausoleum of the Monomakh dynasty, also including Yuri Dolgoruki, the founder of Moscow. Despite being outside the Lavra fortifications, the Church of the Saviour at Berestove is part of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra complex.
Здесь похоронен основатель Москвы князь Юрий Долгорукий. В церкви сохранилась фресковая живопись 12 века.
Церква Спаса на Берестові — стародавня церква в Києві поблизу Києво-Печерської лаври, на колишній околиці Берестове, пам'ятка архітектури XI—XII ст. Розташована за межею фортечних мурів Києво-Печерської лаври, проте вважається частиною історико-архітектурного ансамблю лаври, і разом з нею у 1990 році була включена до списку об'єктів Світової спадщини ЮНЕСКО.
Побудована наприкінці 11 або на початку 12 ст., мабуть, коштом Володимира II Мономаха. Вперше згадується в літописі під 1072 роком. Була усипальницею князів із роду Мономаховичів. 1157 року тут було поховано сина Володимира Мономаха Юрія Довгорукого, засновника Москви (тричі — у 1149-50 роках, 1150 року та в 1155-57 роках — був великим князем київським).
I composed this photograph while walking through a residential area in Palm Desert, California. It is, I believe, an example of Mid-century Modern architecture, quite common in this area.
Mid-century modern was originally considered a collection of homes built after World War II, rather than a specific style. However, "mid-century modern" now often denotes a particular building or decorating style, characterized by clean lines, minimal decoration, and a connection with nature. It features a wide, low house footprint with large, open spaces, floor-to-ceiling windows, and an emphasis on bringing the outdoors in.
Time travel, is it possible? As far as I am concerned it certainly is. This street was constructed in the 17th Century in the town of Saint Andrews. The only thing that has changed is the height of the trees and the road surface over the years.
Sledmere House is set within a park designed by Lancelot Brown, more commonly known with the byname Capability Brown, who was an English landscape architect. He is remembered as "the last of the great English 18th-century artists to be accorded his due" and "England's greatest gardener"
The house is a Grade I listed Georgian country house, containing Chippendale, Sheraton and French furnishings and many fine pictures, Located in the village of Sledmere, North Yorkshire, England
The house is built in Nottinghamshire ashlar on three storeys to an H-shaped plan and is the home of Sir Tatton Sykes, 8th Baronet. The present house was begun in 1751, extended in the 1790s, and rebuilt after a fire in 1911.
The Fifteenth Century Bookshop is an incredible building at the top of Lewes High Street. The bookshop is housed in a fascinating, 15th Century, beamed building. The outside has recently undergone a sensitive renovation, in keeping with the traditions of its history.

Beneath the vast expanse of the Dallas sky, The Statler hotel stands as a testament to Mid-Century Modern architecture.
Last week I posted a photo of the outside of this house at Avoncroft Museum of Buildings. The inside has been presented as it could have been when first built in the 16th Century.
The house, called The Town House at the museum, was originally in Bromsgrove. It was demolished in 1962 and eventually reconstructed at the museum, opening to the public in 1967.

The ATSF semaphores at Wagon Mound stand idly in the night, waiting for the next movement to guide. The remaining US&S T-2 semaphores on the Raton Subdivision in New Mexico turn 100 years old this year, as the CTC was installed between French and Las Vegas in 1925.
These eight columns form a sculpture in the pedestrians section at the eastern end of Century Avenue, close to Century Square. 8 is the Chinese "lucky number".
This is a "vertigo" perspective of the sculpture in the previously uploaded shot.. And no, I did not lay on the ground to do this: The camera was on a tripod, just 30 cm above ground level, aligned with the axis of the artwork, the lens positioned above the center of the artwork (axis and center are marked by the joints of the granite floor tiles), the horizontal camera adjustment was done using a spirit level.
