If you have any association with the US military you may be familiar with the Commander's Coin. A tradition in the Army, commanders at the battalion and higher levels can give out "Commander's Coins" as awards for excellence. The "coin" is traditionally passed to the recipient via a hand shake and always your picture is taken, ALWAYS. If you think I'm kidding try a search on "Commander's Coin" here on flickr. With a career that spanned almost 40 years, I somehow managed to accomplish some good things and acquired a nice collection of these coins. Most of the coins are round, this is one of the few that is odd shaped. It measures 2 inches wide by 2 1/2 inches tall.
FYI: I have many that I cherish and display but if you go to any pawn shop near a military base they are rather common, sad to think that the memories get pawned with the medals for a good night out.

Logis du commandeur
Le logis est situé à l'est de la cour d'Honneur. C'est un vaste bâtiment constitué de trois niveaux : un rez-de-chaussée, un étage et des combles sous charpente.
Il comprenait un cellier, une cuisine équipée d'une cheminée monumentale, un réfectoire au rez-de-chaussée, et probablement deux dortoirs à l'étage, séparés par une cloison. Deux tours octogonales d'escalier servaient d'accès dans les angles est.
Une grande partie de la maçonnerie date du XIème siècle comme en témoignent les fenêtres gothiques en arc brisé et les murs appareillés mais il a été remanié par les Hospitaliers dans la première moitié du XVe siècle, selon un compte-rendu de visite de 1456. Tout d'abord, le bâtiment a été amputé de sa partie nord (cellier, escalier et cuisine). Les portes et certaines fenêtres d’époque templière bouchées et reconstruites dans le style renaissant. Une tour d'escalier octogonale sur plan carré a été plaquée à la façade ouest, côté cour.
L'ouverture, par les fermiers, d'une porte à l'emplacement des fenêtres à croisillons de pierres fut l'objet des premiers chantiers de restauration réalisés dans les années 1970. Au fond du passage situé entre la Chapelle et le logis une tour octogonale en gros grès abritait l'escalier templier, utilisé pour accéder à l'étage. L'escalier a, en partie, disparu, et la tour a perdu sa partie haute et sa toiture. Le logis, en cours de restauration, souffre d'instabilité et est interdit à la visite.
Ce bâtiment contraste avec les autres en raison de ses maçonneries en rangs alternés de briques et de pierres. L'intérieur présente six pièces qui étaient toutes équipées de cheminées et séparées par des cloisons à pan de bois avec remplissage de briques. La charpente traditionnelle en chêne est constituée de vingt-et-une fermes de chevrons et d'un double sous-faîtage. Cette charpente dont les parties basses sont en mauvais état est en cours de restauration en 2022. Tout le bâtiment a nécessité des étaiements intérieurs comme extérieurs par la pose de tirants métalliques intérieurs et de contrefiche en bois sur la façade est.
an uncommon and very localized species. Only my third observation in seven years.

300th photo here on Flickr. I kinda hoped I could do one a day when I started, but I'm well ahead schedule. I'll try not to be too spammy. A big thank you for everyone who has taken time to look at my photographs, and thank you for comments and faves.
Dad, what does 'war monger' mean?
"Vladimir Putin."
That makes no sense.
"To humane people, no."
If I see any Vladimir Putins around here,
I'm going right for the throat.
"You and me both, kiddo."
(In 2016, there were an estimated 1,359,655 (3.9%) persons of full or partial Ukrainian origin residing in Canada (the majority being Canadian-born citizens), making them Canada's eleventh-largest ethnic group and giving Canada the world's third-largest Ukrainian population behind Russia and Ukraine itself. Most came in four waves: Pre and post WWI; post WWII; and after independance in 1991; many settled into farm country and life in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Long live Ukraine.
God damn Putin to hell.)

Edificio de 1883 construido por Emile Commander. Esta considerado como uno de los mejores restaurantes de los Estados Unidos. Desde 1974 es propiedad de la familia Brennan.
Conocido por la galardonada calidad de su comida y su ambiente agradable, la historia de este famoso restaurante ofrece un vistazo al pasado histórico de New Orleans y ha sido el destino favorito de la cocina alta criolla y el encanto caprichoso de Louisiana. Ganador de siete Premios de la Fundación James Beard, el restaurante se ha convertido en una leyenda culinaria.
Cuando Ella, Dottie, Dick y John Brennan se hicieron cargo de la supervisión personal del restaurante en 1974, comenzaron a darle un nuevo aire al espléndido ambiente antiguo, tanto por dentro como por fuera, incluyendo la pintura exterior del icónico "Commander's Blue".
Un desfile constante de chefs de renombre (Emeril Lagasse, Paul Prudhomme, Jamie Shannon y ahora Tory McPhail) han convertido al Commander's Palace en el restaurante de clase mundial de lo que es hoy y su cocina de alta criolla de vanguardia refleja lo mejor de la ciudad.
Meet Spec Ops Commander Hammer Sharks! As you have probably guessed, he is a hammerhead shark that can actually walk and eliminate assigned targets with his harpoon rifle. His special swimsuit with a life support system allows him to stay outside water for hours. Don't let his smile charm you cause it will be the last thing you see before you die!
From this aerial view the curves of the South Saskatchewan River, the “S” curve of the HWY 312, and the oval track of the One Arrow Powwow Grounds make visual landmarks on a clear October day north of Saskatoon.
The significance of this location is amazing. In the centre of the reflected highlight is the Gabriel Bridge named after Louis Riel's military commander who operated the ferry here until his death in 1906. It was in this region that Metis families were terrorized by Canadian troops. Near here the Battle of Batoche took place and it is here that the “Back to Batoche Days” are celebrated every summer.
This is Commander Thorn, he nicknames his gun "The Hammer" as he is based of Thor from the Avengers!

North Bridge, site of "the shot 'that heard 'round the world" in Concord, Massachusetts.
The North Bridge that visitors walk over today is actually a recent (summer of 2005) restoration of the last bridge built on this site in 1956. The 1956 bridge is the fifth bridge to occupy this hallowed ground since the time of the battle in 1775. The bridge that was there in 1775, the "battle bridge," was taken down in 1788.

Concord's North Bridge, where on April 19, 1775, colonial commanders ordered militia men to fire back at British troops for the first time. British colonial militia and minutemen killed two regular army soldiers and wounded eight more, one mortally, at the North Bridge Fight. This was the second battle of the day, after the brief fight at dawn on Lexington Common. In his 1837 poem, "Concord Hymn", thinker and author Ralph Waldo Emerson immortalized the North Bridge Fight as "the shot heard round the world". At this site also stands Daniel Chester French's well-known The Minute Man statue of 1875. Across the North Bridge, opposite The Minute Man statue is the Obelisk Monument. The Obelisk is believed to be the country's first memorial to its war casualties. Close by is the grave of the two regular army soldiers killed at the bridge.

After a 2 week hiatus, I am back. The reason for my inactivity is just pure exhaustion. But I’m back with some filler. Just expect little things like this for the next few weeks.
Anyways, if you know who this character is, then you have earned my respect.
As always, What do you think? Enjoy! :D
Des peintures templières sont encore visibles au chevet et autour de la clé de voûte du chœur. Elles sont blanches (lait de chaux) ornées d'un trait ocre. Il y a un saint Georges terrassant le Dragon, une scène de l'Annonciation, un Christ en gloire, et quatre anges. Les fresques ont été datées de 1210 par Marc Thibout, conservateur en chef du musée des Monuments français et datent de l'époque des Hospitaliers qui reprirent intégralement le décor de la chapelle en 1485 en y ajoutant des stalles, un nouveau pavage et refaisant tous les vitraux.
