VALPUESTA - Burgos
Cuna del Castellano.
En este lugar se situó un obispado desde el año 804 hasta el 1087.
La dióceis de Valpuesta fue formada tras la conquista islámica de la península ibérica, desmantelándose la diócesis de Oca hacia Valdegovía.
De su Colegiata de Santa María, construida a partir de la ermita del siglo IX, proceden los Cartularios de Valpuesta, primer documento que contiene palabras escritas en castellano.
Spanish language cradle.
There was a bishopric here from the year 804 until 1087.
The diocese of Valpuesta was formed after the Islamic conquest of the Iberian Peninsula, dismantling the diocese of Oca towards Valdegovía.
From the Collegiate Church of Santa María, built from the hermitage of the ninth century, come the Cartularios de Valpuesta, the first document that contains words written in Spanish.

L’église Saint-Jacques-le-Mineur de Liège, ancienne abbatiale bénédictine de Saint-Jacques à Liège, est fondée en 1015 par le prince-évêque Baldéric II, successeur de Notger. Lors de la destruction de la collégiale Saint-Pierre, elle devient la collégiale Saint-Jacques.
L'église gothique actuelle, dont la construction fut achevée en 1538, remplaça l'église romane primitive. La voûte et ses peintures sont de la même époque, ainsi que les vitraux du chœur datés de 1525 à 1531. Le portail Renaissance ajouté en 1558 est attribué à Lambert Lombard. L'église primitive comportait un avant-corps roman et un clocher octogonal daté des environs de 1170. Seul l'avant-corps avec une de ses trois tours a été conservé.
Parmi les éléments les plus remarquables, la nef, véritable dentelle de pierre ; la voûte exceptionnelle comptant plus de 150 clés de voûte dans la nef centrale.
L'église a une longueur de 90 m pour une largeur de 30 m et une hauteur de 38 m. Comme la plupart des églises, Saint-Jacques a un plan en forme de croix latine. La nef comporte six travées et l'abside est semi-circulaire à cinq pans.
The church of Saint-Jacques-le-Mineur in Liège, a former Benedictine abbey church of Saint-Jacques in Liège, was founded in 1015 by Prince-Bishop Baldéric II, successor to Notger. When the Saint-Pierre collegiate church was destroyed, it became the Saint-Jacques collegiate church.
The current Gothic church, whose construction was completed in 1538, replaced the original Romanesque church. The vault and its paintings are from the same period, as well as the stained glass windows in the choir dating from 1525 to 1531. The Renaissance portal added in 1558 is attributed to Lambert Lombard. The primitive church had a Romanesque front section and an octagonal bell tower dated around 1170. Only the front section with one of its three towers has been preserved.
Among the most remarkable elements, the nave, a veritable stone lacework; the exceptional vault with more than 150 keystones in the central nave.
The church has a length of 90 m by a width of 30 m and a height of 38 m. Like most churches, Saint-Jacques has a Latin cross-shaped plan. The nave has six bays and the apse is semicircular with five sides.
In Tum, not far from Łęczyca, there is a powerful collegiate church that is an example of a well-preserved Romanesque style church, the greatest example in Poland. Church Saint Mary was built in the 12th century, but the exact date of the beginning of construction is unknown.
The Romanesque building, built of granite, sandstone and field stone, was not only an obvious religious function, but also a shelter for local population. The church was destroyed many times by war and then rebuilt. After being destroyed during World War II, already in 1947 was start rebuilt. It was decided to rebuild it as a significant example of Romanesque architecture with the restoration of the church's original style, i.e. Romanesque style. The side naves, however, have Gothic elements and the ceiling above the main nave is made of concrete. This solution prevents possible collapse of old walls.

W Tumie, niedaleko od Łęczycy, znajduje się potężna kolegiata będąca przykładem świetnie zachowanego kościoła w stylu romańskim, najwspanialszy przykład w Polsce. Kościół pw. Najświętszej Marii Panny był zbudowany w XII wieku, ale dokładna data rozpoczęcia budowy świątyni w stylu romańskim nie jest znana.
Romańska budowla, zbudowana z granitu, piaskowca i kamienia polnego, prócz oczywistej funkcji religijnej, była również schronieniem dla okolicznej ludności. Kościół był wielokrotnie niszczony działaniami wojennymi a następnie odbudowywany. Po zniszczeniach w czasie II Wojny Światowej, już w 1947 roku rozpoczęto jego odbudowę. Postanowiono ją odbudować jako znaczący przykład architektury romańskiej z przywróceniem kościołowi pierwotnego stylu, czyli stylu romańskiego. W nawach bocznych zachowano jednak elementy gotyku a strop nad nawą główną wykonany jest z betonu. Rozwiązanie to zapobiega ewentualnemu zawaleniu się starych murów.
The Collegiate Church of Our Lady is a 13th-century Gothic cathedral in Dinant, a city in Waloon Belgium, on the banks of the River Meuse. The collegiate church replaced a 10th-century Romanesque church which collapsed in 1228, leaving only the North door. Its most iconic part is the separate 16th century pear-shaped bell tower.
I believe that's Mt. Yale on the left and Mt. Columbia on the right. This shot was taken from CR300 that goes out to Ruby Mountain, adjacent to the Arkansas River.
The idea on this night was to try to get a shot of the Comet Lemmon. And while it was visible and I did get some pics of it the view of the comet was somewhat disappointing. The view of the Milky Way above the observation building was much better. Cheers! Colorado, USA

Xàtiva is a city in the Spanish province of Valencia and is the birthplace of two popes. Xàtiva is the Valencian name for this city, but in Castellano this city is called 'Jativa'. This city is located in a beautiful area of hills, vineyards, orange groves and cypress trees on the northern slopes of Monte Vernissa, a two-peaked hill topped by the castle of Xativa. Ermita de Sant Josep is a very picturesque church half way up the mountain road to Xativa Castle. This castle consists of a double fortification divided between the older "Castillo Menor" small castle, built on the Iberian and Roman remains of the site, and the more recent "Castillo Mayor" main castle, built during the Middle Ages. It is located at an altitude of 310 meters above the modern city. The walls mainly date from the period during the Arab occupation. The fortress is strategically located on the ancient Via Augusta road that leads from Rome over the Pyrenees and along the Mediterranean coast to Cartagena and Cádiz. Although the town has expanded in recent years, there are still many old quarters and beautiful medieval monuments to be found. It really is such a small town that you can enjoy as a Spain lover!
One of the most beautiful towns in Spain, Xàtiva is defined by its delicious gastronomy, fascinating history and beautiful naturescapes. Sant Josep is a very picturesque church half way up the mountain road to Xativa Castle, you find this little terras, with a wonderful view, where you can have something to eat and drink The Hermitage of Sant Josep, beautiful, elegant, slender, stands out from all the cardinal points of Xàtiva. Located in an elevated place, on the slopes of the Castell, the Hermitage of Sant Josep becomes a luminous focus of the city, bright by day, illuminated at night. It is an symbolic building.
Xàtiva is een stad in de Spaanse provincie Valencia en is de geboorteplaats van twee pausen. Xàtiva is de Valenciaanse benaming voor deze stad, maar in Castellano wordt deze stad ‘Jativa’ genoemd. Dit stadje is gelegen in een mooie omgeving van heuvels, wijngaarden, sinaasappelbomen en cipressen op de noordelijke hellingen van de Monte Vernissa, een heuvel met twee toppen die wordt bekroond door het kasteel van Xativa. Het kasteel bestaat uit een dubbele fortificatie die is verdeeld tussen het oudere "Castillo Menor" klein kasteel, gebouwd op de Iberische en Romeinse overblijfselen van de site, en het meer recente "Castillo Mayor" hoofdkasteel, gebouwd tijdens de middeleeuwen. Het bevindt zich op een hoogte van 310 meter boven de moderne stad. De ommuring dateert vooral uit de periode ten tijde van de Arabische bezetting. Het fort is strategisch gelegen aan de oude weg Via Augusta die van Rome over de Pyreneeën en langs de Middellandse Zeekust naar Cartagena en Cádiz leidt. Het stadje is afgelopen jaren weliswaar uitgebreid maar er zijn nog heel wat oude wijken en mooie middeleeuwse monumenten te vinden. Het is echt zo'n klein stadje waar je als Spanjeliefhebber van kan genieten! De kathedraal van Xàtiva, ook bekend als La Seu, is de belangrijkste kerk van de de omgeving. De bouw begon in 1596. De bouw werd ontelbare keren onderbroken door vele fasen en heeft bijna driehonderdvijftig jaar geduurd.

Europe - Belgium - Wallonia - Namur Province - Upper Meuse valley - Dinant - Historical town on the River Meuse with citadel, the collegiate church and the Meuse at Dusk - Twilight - Blue hour - Night
Not particularly well known town, but very lovely regardless, especially at dusk. The only mystery we could not solve was why they lit the whole rock behind the town but not the lovely cathedral. The river Meuse was beautifully still, which helped with the wonderful reflection of the historical town.

The Eagles performed during a benefit concert for California Senator Alan Cranston on July 31, 1980, on what has been described as "Long Night at Wrong Beach".Tempers boiled over as Glenn Frey and Don Felder spent the entire show telling each other about the beating each planned to administer backstage. "Only three more songs until I kick your ass, pal," Frey recalls Felder telling him near the end of the band's set.Felder recalls Frey making a similar threat to him during "Best of My Love"."We're out there singing ‘Best of My Love', but inside both of us are thinking, 'As soon as this is over, I'm gonna kill him,' " recalled Frey. The animosity purportedly developed as a result of Felder's response of "You're welcome – I guess" to Senator Cranston as he was thanking the band for doing the benefit for his reelection. A live recording of their song "Life in the Fast Lane" from this show was included on their live album, entitled Eagles Live. This marked their final live performance, as The Eagles, for 14 years, until April 25, 1994.

The collegiate church "Zum heiligen Kreuz" is located at Mariahilfer Straße 24 in Vienna's 7th district of Neubau, is part of the collegiate barracks and has been the Roman Catholic garrison church of Vienna since 1921.
The collegiate church was presumably built in 1739 according to plans by Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach. The church building was extended under Maria Theresa. In 1772, Benedikt Henrici erected the present tower with its late Baroque spire. (wikipedia)
The Collegiate Church of St. Mary and St. Alexius (Polish: Kolegiata w Tumie) is an encastellated Romanesque church located in the village of Tum near Łęczyca, in central Poland. It was constructed out of granite blocks and sandstone in the mid-12th century.
The church was built using the opus emplectum technique. It has the form of an aisled basilica with galleries, a twin-tower west façade, and two apses (west and east). It was reconstructed in the 15th, 18th and mid-20th centuries; during the latest reconstruction the church returned to its simpler Romanesque form and round turrets at the east were added. The main (north) portal is sculpted and dates back to the first half of 12th century.
The temple stands on top of a holm or islet which was once surrounded by wetlands and marshes. There is evidence from a papal bull issued by Pope Innocent II that a wooden monastery of the early Benedictine Brothers pre dated the church by at least a century.Older excavations and historical analysis suggested that the monastery was founded by Boleslaus I, the first King of Poland, and Saint Adalbert of Prague in approximately 997 AD. However, more recent studies prove that it was most likely founded during the Restoration period, in the second half of the 11th century. The monastery was demolished to make way for the current church.
Historian and painter Władysław Łuszczkiewicz noted that the islet (and the nearby mound) served as a small fortified stronghold, or gord.[5] He justified his claim with the location particulars, as churches would be founded in the vicinity of populated settlements or castles than on isolated land.
The construction was initiated by Janik, Archbishop of Gniezno, in around 1149.[4] According to a legend, the local townsfolk from Łęczyca believed that the dimples in stonework were made by the hands of Devil Boruta, who attempted to destroy the church. The unfinished structure was consecrated on 21 May 1161 by officials and princes.
[ENG] The Collegiate Church of Santa María la Mayor de Alquézar, has its origin in the Arab castle built in the ninth century on top of a rocky ridge surrounded by ravines located in Alquézar (Huesca, Spain), which after its conquest in 1067 by Sancho Ramírez becomes a Christian fortress, and in 1099, when military needs were overcome by the progress of the Reconquest, a community of Augustinian canons was installed, building a Romanesque collegiate church, which in the 16th century was replaced by Another gothic that endures today. They emphasise: in the cloister the Romanesque capitals of the thirteenth century and the mural paintings of the fourteenth to eighteenth centuries, in the church the rib vault, the Renaissance main altarpiece (XVI century), a Romanesque Christ and the baroque organ.

[ESP] Junto al coro destaca un órgano barroco del siglo XVI que se conserva en perfecto estado, y que está considerado como uno de los más valiosos de Aragón.
La iglesia actual se construyó en el siglo XVI por Juan de Segura ampliando la anterior románica longitudinalmente por la cabecera y por los pies. Es una sola nave cubierta con bóveda estrellada, y posteriormente se fueron añadiendo capillas en el siglo XVII, la de San Nicostrato excavada en la roca para dar cobijo al cráneo del mártir romano, la de la Virgen del Rosario, la de San Juan Bautista decorada en estilo barroco, y la del Santo Cristo sufragada por la familia Lecina. El coro se sitúa a los pies del templo y cuenta con un extraordinario órgano.

From above Cottonwood Pass at about 12,300 feet looking northeast into the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness and at the Continental Divide We are hoping there will be a good snowpack this winter season that will blanket this area. On average this area gets anywhere from 20 - 30 feet of snow.
Ok, out of the city for a while. The collegiate peaks are part of the collection of mountain peaks found in Colorado, over 14,ooo ft.
The Collegiate Chantry of St Mary was founded in Slapton in 1372 or 1373 by Sir Guy de Brian. Large sections of the walls and West Tower remain.
Yep, that little arched doorway has stood there for over six hundred and fifty years, you gotta love it!
the statue is covered to protect it while constructions is on the way at Marble Collegiate Church Manhattan.
The colours of Girona are well seen here with some glorious late evening light illuminating the north bank properties of the Anyou River. Prominent in this view is the tower of the Collegiate Church of Sant Feliu. Interestingly this church took five hundred years to build and wasn't completed until the 17th century.
The glorious ramshackle collection of multicoloured buildings here are relatively newly built (generally through the 19th century).
