La tour sud est beaucoup plus récente puisqu'elle date du début du XVIe siècle ; la première pierre est posée en 1485, le 10 novembre, par Robert de Croismare, les travaux étant commencés par Guillaume Pontif, maître d’œuvre. En 1496, Guillaume Pontif est remplacé par Jacques le Roux qui achève la tour en 1506. Elle est « couronnée », ce qui est caractéristique du style flamboyant, dite « de beurre », parce qu'elle a été financée avec les indulgences de carême, c'est-à-dire que des fidèles riches s'achetaient le droit de consommer du beurre et autres laitages pendant le carême tout comme à la cathédrale de Bourges où existe également une tour de beurre.
Une autre explication à cette dénomination est que cette tour est d'une teinte plus jaune (calcaire lutétien de Saint-Leu, dont la couleur pourrait faire penser que la tour a été sculptée dans une motte de beurre) que le reste de la maçonnerie en pierre blanche de Caumont et de Vernon. Elle n'est construite qu'à partir de 1485 et le chapitre de la cathédrale connut de houleux débats entre les « anciens » et les « modernes » pour décider qui des partisans d'une flèche ou d'une couronne l'emporterait. Finalement les seconds l'emportèrent. Sa construction qui coûta 24 750 livres tournois était destinée à équilibrer au sud le volume de la tour Saint-Romain. Elle se compose de quatre niveaux qui suivent un plan carré et d'un couronnement octogonal ponctué de pinacles.
L'immense cloche de la tour est fondue en 1501, elle prend le nom de son mécène, Georges d'Amboise.
La tour de Beurre a inspiré la construction d'un célèbre building de Chicago, la Tribune Tower, en 1923-1925.
La tour de Beurre contient 2 des sept cloches de la cathédrale.
The south tower is much more recent, dating from the beginning of the 16th century; the first stone was laid in 1485, on November 10, by Robert de Croismare, with work started by Guillaume Pontif, the master builder. In 1496, Guillaume Pontif was replaced by Jacques le Roux, who completed the tower in 1506. It is "crowned", which is characteristic of the flamboyant style, called "butter", because it was financed with Lenten indulgences, that is to say that wealthy worshippers bought the right to consume butter and other dairy products during Lent, just like at Bourges Cathedral, where there is also a butter tower. Another explanation for this name is that this tower is a more yellow shade (Lutetian limestone from Saint-Leu, the color of which could suggest that the tower was sculpted from a lump of butter) than the rest of the white stone masonry of Caumont and Vernon. It was not built until 1485 and the cathedral chapter experienced heated debates between the "ancients" and the "moderns" to decide which of the supporters of a spire or a crown would prevail. Finally, the latter won. Its construction, which cost 24,750 livres tournois, was intended to balance the volume of the Saint-Romain tower to the south. It is composed of four levels that follow a square plan and an octagonal crown punctuated by pinnacles.
The tower's immense bell was cast in 1501, it takes the name of its patron, Georges d'Amboise.
The Butter Tower inspired the construction of a famous Chicago building, the Tribune Tower, in 1923-1925.
The Butter Tower contains 2 of the cathedral's seven bells.
The Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center is a convention center located in Long Beach, California. Built on the former site of the Long Beach Municipal Auditorium; the venue is composed of the Long Beach Convention Center, Long Beach Arena and the Long Beach Performing Arts Center.

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.
Iron Maiden performed four consecutive shows during their World Slavery Tour on March 14–17, 1985. The show on the 15th was recorded and released as a double live-album, entitled Live After Death.

Hills composed of multicolored bentonite clays in Capitol Reef National Park- The rough texture of the surface is due to the shrinking and swelling of the clays from wetting and drying cycles. This and the chemistry of the soils makes them a difficult medium for plant growth, contributing to the barren look. Driving through this area after it rains is difficult due to the slick and sticky nature of the soil. In the distance Factory and Caineville Buttes stick up on the horizon.
Excerpt from english.cha.go.kr/html/HtmlPage.do?pg=/royal/RoyalPalaces...:
If one passes the garden at the rear of the Juhamnu Pavilion and walks down along the slope of the hill leading into the stairway, the person can find a square pond on the opposite side and a pavilion on the north bank of the pond. This is the Aeryeonjeong, which is composed of only 1 kan. Looking out of the windows of the pavilion, one can enjoy a wonderful view. It looks like just a framed picture, owing to the decorations attached to the upper part of the pillars. Of course, the mood of the picture depends on the season. In particular, the stone structure, through which water comes into the pond, is opposite excellent in beauty and technique of design.

Die Vorstellung „wenn wir sterben, gehen wir ins Licht“ stammt aus der Bibel und dem Konzept von Himmel und Hölle, von Licht und Dunkelheit.
This abstract is composed of bokeh bubbles of Christmas tree lights, taken with a fully open f/0.7 aperture lens.
The fastest lens I have in my vintage lens collection is an ultrafast f/0.7 X-ray lens, the Canon Lens X 60mm f/0.7. This lens was used in X-ray machines before the digital area. This lens is a tank, weighting 2.7 kg. Front diameter is 101 mm, back 55 mm. The flange focal distance is less than 10 mm, e.g. too short for Sony E-mount, which is 18 mm.
I simply used duct tape to attach the camera to the lens, works great, and is surprisingly sturdy. With this setup the focus distance is about 19.5 cm. So this lens has a fixed focus distance, can't focus to infinity, and is always fully open. The depth of field is around 2 mm, so it is very difficult to focus. This lens is so fast, I used ISO 200 and 1/90 sec for this bokeh shot. The Christmas tree is about 1 m (3 feet) from the camera. Each light on the tree turns into a big bokeh bubble, bigger than the sensor, which is full frame.
See short video clip that demos the shallow depth of field, and photos of the lens at the Quality HDR Photography Facebook page: bit.ly/3hWedA9
This lens is as fast as the legendary Carl Zeiss Planar 50mm f/0.7, that was made for NASA, and was used by Stanley Kubrick to shoot his film Barry Lyndon: bit.ly/2LpV0WY

I'm fortunate to have flowers blooming at this time of year.
There is a single restored moai in this small village, the other moai are ruins.
***
A former royal residence:
This archaeological complex is composed of two restored ahu which turn their backs on a small bay, where they break the waves with force on the cliffs of lava.
The ahu that can be seen here belong to the late stage of construction of the moai statues, and date back to about the seventeenth century. Together with the nearby ceremonial center of Tahai, they offer a panorama that suggests what must have been the landscape of the island in ancient times, with numerous ahu bordering much of the coast.
It is said that the ariki, or kings, resided temporarily in Hanga Kio’e. In addition, in the surroundings of this place existed a school where the art of carving the talking tablets or kohau rongo rongo was taught.
The site consists of a coastal esplanade of two ahu with a moai each, the Ahu Akapu and the Ahu Hanga Kio’e; as well as a square and a hare moa (chicken coop), which was restored in 1972. There are also several remains of hare paenga (boat houses), which were part of the ceremonial center.
A place of legend:
Hanga Kio’e means “Bay of the Mouse” and it seems that the name comes from an old legend about a widow who entered this small cove with a mouse in the mouth, in mourning for the death of her husband, whose remains were buried here after the ahu (ceremonial platform) was built.
The moai that rises on the Ahu Akapu has a height of 4 meters and is complete, only lacks the pukao (stone hat). On the other hand the Ahu Hanga Kio’e, only has a part of the back erected on the platform, that was rescued from the bay.
Behind the ahu, the terrain forms a small hill that offers beautiful views of the whole, with Hanga Roa in the background and the waves roaring among lava cliffs. Hanga Kio’e is a place seldom frequented by tourists, so it invites you to relax and imagine how life could have been in a village so small and remote.
