Sagrada Familia, is considered a major achievement for its designer, the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí. Sagrada Família basilica has a status, not a cathedral, as is sometimes believed.
The construction of the church was begun in 1882. Initially the project was commissioned another architect, but this came into conflict with the association of funding the construction of the temple. Then the building was commissioned by Gaudí, which completely changed the design, giving it its own style. Over the next four decades he worked intensively on the design, giving it a completely last 15 years of age. During the work, continually adapted and changed the original design.
Towers of the church was completed in 1920, six years later, the architect came up with the passing omnibus. He died not recognized in a shelter for the poor.
November 7, 2010 on Sunday during a solemn Mass, which was attended by 62 thousand. people, Pope Benedict XVI consecrated the Basilica of the Holy Family (Sagrada Familia), raising it to the rank of Minor Basilica.
Completion of construction scheduled for 2026, the 100th anniversary of Gaudi's death.

Sagrada Familia, uważany jest za główne osiągnięcie jej projektanta, katalońskiego architekta Antoniego Gaudí. Sagrada Família ma status bazyliki, a nie katedry, jak czasem się uważa.
Budowę kościoła rozpoczęto w 1882 roku. Początkowo jej projekt zlecono innemu architektowi, ale ten wszedł w konflikt ze stowarzyszeniem finansującym budowę świątyni. Wówczas zlecenie na budowę otrzymał Gaudí, który całkowicie zmienił projekt, nadając mu własny styl. Przez następne cztery dekady pracował intensywnie nad konstrukcją, poświęcając jej całkowicie ostatnich 15 lat życia. Podczas prac nieustannie dostosowywał i zmieniał pierwotne założenia. Wieże kościoła ukończono w 1920 r. Sześć lat później architekt wpadł pod przejeżdżający omnibus. Zmarł nie rozpoznany w przytułku dla biedaków.
7 listopada 2010 w niedzielę podczas uroczystej mszy świętej, w której uczestniczyło 62 tys. osób, papież Benedykt XVI konsekrował Bazylikę Świętej Rodziny (Sagrada Familia) podnosząc ją do godności bazyliki mniejszej.
Zakończenie budowy przewidziano na rok 2026, 100 lecie śmierci Gaudiego.
Museum for international Expressionism in one of Rotterdam’s most beautiful villas. The Chabot Museum has an important collection of works by Dutch expressionist Henk Chabot (1894-1949) and is housed in one of Rotterdam’s most beautiful villas. The peaceful homely atmosphere of this listed monument built in 1938 does perfect justice to Chabot’s paintings and sculptures and to works by his contemporaries and present-day kindred spirits. Expressionism and the inter-war period are central to the museum’s temporary exhibitions. The gardens surrounding the building and the other villas scattered around Museum Park are part of an oasis of green in the very centre of Rotterdam. THE VILLA
The striking white villa was designed in 1938 by architect G.W. Baas, who worked many years for the renowned architects Brinkman & Van der Vlugt (known for the monumental Van Nelle Factories, the Feijenoord Stadium and the Sonneveld House in Rotterdam). Baas left the completion to architect L. Stokla when he was appointed as the building coordinator of the Kröller- Müller Museum at the Hoge Veluwe.
The villa in modernist style was initially built as a private residence for the Kraaijeveld family. Distinguishing features of the house are light and airy spaces, a typical openness to the garden and a unique view of the Museumpark and its surroundings. A visit to the homely, light and elegant Chabot Museum combines modern art, architecture and history.

12 years, 3 months and 23 days after I started I finally completed the 630 mile long South West Coast Path. It was an amazing physical and emotional challenge with incredible scenery all the way. So much changed since that day in April 2006 when I started walking the path. In that time I acquired a Masters degree and a second daughter!
This was a great day to mark the passing of an era - my last walk in the UK for quite a time and the eve of a new life in Thailand. We flew out of the UK exactly one week after this picture was taken. Our lives have changed immeasurably since; I cannot even begin to describe how much has changed and the adventures we have had since!
Half term is upon us now, so I won't be posting or commenting for a while. I shall be back with Thailand pictures in a couple of weeks, beginning a sequence of walks I have completed over the past year.
Many thanks for all your kind comments and feedback - your encouragement is always greatly appreciated. If you would like to read more about this walk please see my blog entry at worthingwanderer.blogspot.com/2018/10/south-west-coast-pa...
Back from our vacation in GREECE.............SEND YOU WHITE ENERGY!!!!!!!
AND WISH YOU A MOST LOVING SUMMERWEEK!
Strictly speaking, white is not a color, but the manifestation of the presence of all color - the complete energy of light. It stands for wholeness and completion. In many cultures it represents openness and truth. White has a cold quality. It can provide clarity as its energy is complete.
White has purification vibrations and can be used to clear blocks from your path.
It holds the potential to move toward every other color and this makes it a good choice for new beginnings, and development in any direction.
Put some white in your life when you want:
to clear clutter and obstacles away
to start a fresh beginning
to bring about mental clarity
purification of thoughts or actions
Hudson Yards is a real estate development in the Chelsea and Hudson Yards neighborhoods of Manhattan, New York City. It is the largest private real estate development in the United States by area. Upon completion, 13 of the 16 planned structures on the West Side of Midtown South would sit on a platform built over the West Side Yard, a storage yard for Long Island Rail Road trains. The first of its two phases, opened in 2019, comprises a public green space and eight structures that contain residences, a hotel, office buildings, a mall, and a cultural facility.
I believe it cost 20B to build the whole thing.

Yes, it's another Cuddly Couple! The point was to show off Din's magnificent feathery collar, but I somehow dominated the scene nonetheless. No light without shadows, and it is the same for me with Din: he is an essential part of my existence, without which I would scatter and dissolve. When I am tired of shining, I can cloak myself in his darkness and rest.
And now for a more peaceful scene. A family of beautiful Swans - a familiar scene but we may miss it this year. The last Swans nest I saw being built was destroyed by mindless vandals just after the birthing and the second of two Swans nest I have witnessed this sort of thing happening to.
Recently a lovely wooden bird hide built especially with ramps for the disabled and with platforms was burned down soon after completion in my local Nature Reserve run by the Nottingham Wildlife Trust
No point in building another whilst there are such idiots about as it was very expensive to build to those specifications...
As I climb higher, the clouds descend and completely shroud the summit of Glas Tulaichean. Normally I would give this up and wait for a better day, but as we're soon moving away this is my last chance to gain the 10% of Munro's bagged.
Glas Tulaichean is my 5th Munro of the season and the 28th in total, bringing me to a Munro completion rate of near enough 10%. The mountain stands at 1051 meters (3448 feet) and is the last one I will do as I have now moved away from Scotland and back to my roots in South Yorkshire as the pull of the Grandchildren was just too strong.
The Ksani fortress is located in the Mtskheta-Mtianeti region, Mtskheta Municipality, near the village of Tsikhisdziri, at the estuary of the Ksani and Mtkvari rivers, on Mount Sarkineti. Sources also refer to it as the Mtkvari fortress or the Mtveri fortress.
Two building layers are distinguished on the monument: the first layer dates back to the 16th century, and the second - to the 2nd half of the 18th century.
The Ksani fortress is located in a strategically advantageous place, it controlled an important crossroad. The fortress was built by Bagrat Mukhranbatoni during the ongoing battles between the king of Kartli David X (Bagrat's brother) and the king of Kakheti George II (Av-Giorgi - George the Evil). In exchange for this help, Bagrat received the appanage lands of Mukhrani from King David. Immediately after the completion of the construction, Av-Giorgi gathered an army and surrounded the fortress. After an unsuccessful three-month siege, Av-Giorgi sent wine to Bagrat sarcastically, saying that he hadn't drunk wine for so long. In response, Bagrat sent him salmon and passed on this message to him: "You have been standing on the Ksani River for three months and have not tasted fish, so here, taste this live fish." Av-Giorgi, realizing that the fortress was sufficiently supplied with food and drinking water, retreated.
In 1513, Av-Giorgi invaded Kartli again, but was captured by Bagrat Mukhranbatoni, who imprisoned him in the Ksani fortress, where he was soon killed: "After a short time, Av-Giorgi was imprisoned in the fortress and he died." The building inscription located above the entrance to the fortress says that in 1746 the heavily damaged Ksani fortress was practically rebuilt by Constantine III (Konstantine Mukhranbatoni). From the same inscription, we learn that Constantine also gave the fortress a new name - Konstantinlabati.
Apparently, during the late Middle Ages, the Ksani fortress was one of the well-fortified and strategically important fortresses.
Parts have arrived and the Brickmania crew pitched in to help us place close to 10,000 tiles to give it that cobblestone look.
Almost complete. Wait for some big announcements!
Cody did a large part of the building.
Thank you for those who gave your input on which piano to use!

Sershul Tekchen Dargyeling སེར་ཤུལ་ ཏེཀ་ ཆེན་ དར་ གྱེ་ གླིང་
Founding (1759) > Monks 1255 •Religious Sect > Geluk སེར་ཤུལ་དགོན། > ser shul dgon > Sershül Gön Sershul Tekchen Dargyeling སེར་ཤུལ་ ཏེཀ་ ཆེན་ དར་ གྱེ་ གླིང་ is an important monastery of the Gelukpa School, located 20 km west of Deongma, on the right side of the road. This is currently the largest monastery in Sershul county, with 1200-1300 monks divided into six colleges, under the guidance of the youthful but charismatic Drukpa Rinpoche. The rain retreat festival held in August is a magnificent spectacle, attracting nomad communities. The hills and grasslands around the monastery are sparse and spacious.
The complex was founded as a branch of Chunkor but soon outgrew the latter. The recently restored buildings at Sershul, which are all near the motor road, include the Tsokchen (assembly hall), the Jamkhang (Maitreya temple), the Gonkhang (protector temple), the Dewachen Lhakhang (Amitabha temple), the Mentsikhang (where Mipham Rinpoche`s tradition is maintained), the college, a Mani Wheel chapel (containing three wheels constructed by the father of the present Drukpa Rinpoche) and a small guesthouse. A new Tsongkhapa Lhakhang, resembling a giant cathedral, has been constructed below the main complex, and was due for completion and consecration on 12 December, 2008. www.footprinttravelguides.com/c/2848/tibet/&Action=pr...
Forth Bridge, Firth of Forth, Scotland UK. Standing strong since it's completion in 1890 and truly a spectacular Victorian structure, weighing in at over 55,000 tons and reaching a height of 110m above high water.
The Monroe Street Bridge, built in 1911. It was designed by John Chester Ralston and Kirtland Kelsey Cutter. At the time of completion it was the largest concrete-arch bridge in the United States and the third longest in the world.
This image is part of my photographic series Almodis, Countess of Montferrand, which I invite you to discover in the list of my albums. By consulting the photos in chronological order, and paying attention to their titles, you can follow the story of Almodis's life as Countess of Montferrand - according to the freedom of my novelistic interpretation, the first known chatelaine of the fortress so named.
In 1085, Count Pierre de Melgueil paid homage to the Pope and began the bipolarisation of the county of Substantion, which became the county of Melgueil and Montferrand. Construction of the castle of Montferrand began at the same time. The Count did not survive the completion of the project, and probably died as early as 1086. His widow, Almodis, inherited the castle and administered the county for the rest of her life.
Many thanks to the model for the double session (and the two walks...), which were necessary to obtain the different phases of the narrative. Thanks also to Suzanne for the loan of the '1085' dress.

Hongkong Airport: Interior view of Midfield Concourse
Midfield Concourse
On 25 January 2011, Airport Authority Hong Kong (AA) unveiled phase 1 of its midfield development project which is targeted for completion by the end of 2015. The midfield area is located to the west of Terminal 1 and between the two existing runways. It is the last piece of land on the airport island available for large-scale development. This will include 20 aircraft parking stands, three of these will be wide enough to serve the Airbus A380 and cater for an additional 10 million passengers annually. Passengers will reach the concourse through an extension of the underground automated people mover. A Joint Venture of Mott MacDonald and Arup led the design of the project, supported by a range of consultants including Architecture firm Aedas. The Concourse began operations on 28 December 2015, and the first flight that used it was the HX658 operated by the Hong Kong Airlines flying from Hong Kong to Okinawa. On 31 March 2016, the Concourse was officially inaugurated in a ceremony marking its full commissioning.
A week ago Friday I posted a shot of this house under construction last May, before any siding went on. Here it is getting what I assume are the finishing touches for occupancy this summer.
The lights of Melbourne glimmer in the background as Metro Trains ECOM consist 633M-634M-EV120-586M-585M slowly rolls out of the Western Portal of the Metro Tunnel near South Kensington as test train 7641 to Sunshine, marking the completion of their first trip through the tunnel in a 5-car configuration.
The train had previously travelled through the Tunnel as a 7-car consist with EV120 at the rear (flic.kr/p/2qEJwbZ) prior to the Comeng sets being modified to allow operation with EV120 in the centre of the train, including removal of trailer cars 1167T & 1143T (I think making them the first two carriages that have travelled through the Metro Tunnel and since been scrapped). 12/7/25
A shot of 82nd St and 5th Avenue that was taken on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.The food at the museum cafeteria can be a little pricey,getting a bite to eat from one the food carts is more economical.
If viewed larger you can see names on the food carts.The vendors appear to be honoring men who served in the military.Perhaps the vendors themselves are veterans.
The corner building on the right side is called the Dukes House.The Beaux Arts mansion was built 1899-1901 with no in mind.Shortly after its completion the mansion was bought by Benjamin Duke,a millionaire in textile,tobacco,and energy industrialism.The Dukes House most recent owner was Mexican telecom magnate and billionaire Carlos Slim,who bought the building for $44 million in 2010.Slim sold it for $80 million,almost twice the amount he paid!You're a billionaire Carlos,for crying out loud!There are many poor millionaires out there who can't afford to pay that much:-)
The Shard, also referred to as the Shard of Glass, Shard London Bridge and formerly London Bridge Tower,
is a 95-storey skyscraper in Southwark, London, that forms part of the London Bridge Quarter development. Standing 309.7 metres (1,016 ft) high, the Shard is the tallest building in the United Kingdom, the fourth-tallest building in Europe and the 111th-tallest building in the world. It is also the second-tallest free-standing structure in the United Kingdom, after the concrete tower at the Emley Moor transmitting station.
The Shard's construction began in March 2009; it was topped out on 30 March 2012 and inaugurated on 6 July 2012.
Practical completion was achieved in November 2012.
The tower's privately operated observation deck, The View from The Shard, was opened to the public on 1 February 2013.
The glass-clad pyramidal tower has 72 habitable floors, with a viewing gallery and open-air observation deck on the 72nd floor, at a height of 244.3 metres (802 ft). It was designed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano and replaced Southwark Towers, a 24-storey office block built on the site in 1975.
The Shard was developed by Sellar Property Group on behalf of LBQ Ltd and is jointly owned by Sellar Property and the State of Qatar.

I first start with mentally visualizing the shot. i.e. How the couple will be posed and how to frame them with the Milky Way. In this case, I knew I wanted to have a light behind the couple to have a back lit effect and to create long shadows. I wanted the couple to be framed by the Milky Way bow which would mean capturing a multi-row panorama for a sufficiently wide field of view.
I set up a wirelessly triggered speedlight on a flash stand behind the couple and got them to stand in the desired position with their jackets on, not yet holding the pose. I programmed my Gigapan panorama mount to capture a 40 frame photosphere in a 8 x 5 grid pattern which would take a total of 17 minutes.
As the camera was capturing the sky during the first 8 minutes of the image, the couple had the chance to soak in the view of the Milky Way. When it was time to capture the foreground, I ran to the couple and collected their jackets and asked them to hold the pose for the next 3 frames and quickly returning their jackets upon completion of those frames.
After the shoot, the frames are prepared in Adobe Lightroom and stitched together in Autopano Giga. The final stitched images are usually in the range of 250 to 300 megapixels. They are then processed to my taste and cropped down to size in Photoshop.

Artist's Concept:
The photographic competition entitled "Our Memories of the Western District" was the inaugural activity of the West Island Line Community Art Programme. Unique images of the Kennedy Town area were captured by local residents and the winning photographs from the champion, 1st runner-up, 2nd runner-up and merit award recipients were selected as the theme images for use in Kennedy Town Station. These photographic images were then pixelated using thousands of images collected from the community and then combined with monochrome graphics to create a panoramic collage, reflecting the uniqueness and culture of Western District with traditional buildings and daily life of the local community.
two new residential buildings in White Rock with interesting architectural design - curved balconies - are almost complete. They look really nice against the blue skies and white clouds.
The Chemin du Roy is a historic road along the north shore of the St. Lawrence River in Quebec. The road begins in Repentigny and extends almost 280 kilometres (170 mi) eastward towards Quebec City. In 1706, the Conseil supérieur of New France decreed that a road be built to connect the settlements along the north shore of the St. Lawrence River. Work began in 1731 and was completed in 1737. Upon completion, the Chemin du Roy was 7.4 metres (24 ft) wide, over 280 kilometres (170 mi) long, and crossed 37 seignories. The Chemin du Roy was the longest road in existence at the time north of Mexico.
To celebrate the near completion of the "Big Emma" book, here's a Jack Fravert image from the "pile"
The mechanical and thermodynamic design of a steam locomotive means it must have constant access to a large amount of water if under steam. Even with 22,000 gallons of water capacity in their tenders, the L&N’s M-1s were generally limited to around 80 miles between water stops. In June 1956, a hostler helper at DeCoursey topped off the tank before Baldwin No. 1953’s next southbound assignment to Ravenna or Corbin. The “wagon top” N&W-like design of the tender handled overflow drainage well but could be a bit slippery for crewmen handling the work. The low safety railings along the edges were there for a reason. (Jack Fravert Photo/L&NHS Collection)

NASA completed its penultimate hot fire June 15 in a key test series to certify production of new RS-25 engines for NASA’s SLS (Space Launch System) rocket that will help power future Artemis missions to the Moon and continue the agency’s efforts to explore the secrets of the universe for the benefit of all.
More than 500 NASA Stennis, NASA Shared Services Center, and NASA contractor employees and family members viewed the hot fire on the Fred Haise Test Stand at NASA’s Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, which marked the 11th in the 12-test series. The final test of the series is scheduled June 22 and will set the stage for SLS engines lead contractor Aerojet Rocketdyne to manufacture new RS-25 engines for future deep space missions, beginning with Artemis V.
