A conserved ruin of a gothical castle, later rebuilt in renaissance style. It is a rare type of a castle/chateau hybrid founded in 1381, with more emphasis on comfort and less on defense. The defense tower was lower than normal, the windows were large, the palace was accesible directly from the first courtyard. The brugrave from Křivoklát Castle built himself a castle which was very progressive and ahead of it´s time. It was devastated in the Thirty Year War, but renewed, and got a new red ceramic roof, due to which it was then also known as Red Castle. A flash started a large fire in 1783, which completely destroyed the castle, and it was not renewed. Conservation work began in 1915, the ruin is very popular by tourists and film makers. The wooden bridge was made after the original one, in medieval style and only with historical carpentry axes, it was laid in the place with a medieval wooden crane made the same way - it was a experiment to test medieval technologies and work processes.

Les grues Titan sont deux grues aujourd'hui désaffectées situées sur l'île de Nantes, conservées en témoignage du passé industriel du centre de Nantes. La grue jaune, appartenant jadis aux chantiers navals Dubigeon, et la grue grise, au Port autonome de Nantes-Saint-Nazaire, sont aujourd'hui la propriété de la Ville de Nantes.
« Titan » est le nom d'un modèle de grues produites par la société nantaise Joseph Paris. Le nom évoque la puissance de levage de tels engins. Les deux grues ont été conservées au titre de la valorisation du patrimoine industriel de Nantes en s'appuyant sur 4 critères de l'UNESCO:
le critère historique en rapport avec le développement de la région
Le critère représentatif de l’industrialisation
Le critère de notoriété distinguant des bâtiments remarquables ou exceptionnels dus à l’ingéniosité des Hommes
Le critère de l’intérêt technologique, attestant d’un procédé ou d’une innovation
Ces éléments ont contribué au classement d'une des grues Titan comme monument historique par arrêté ministériel le 27 mai 2005.
La grue jaune a été construite en 1954 pour le compte des anciens chantiers navals Dubigeon, dont elle occupe encore le site (47° 12′ 18″ N 1° 34′ 11″ O). Elle porte des éléments préfabriqués pour la construction de bateaux jusqu'en 1987, date de la fermeture des chantiers. La mairie la rachète deux ans plus tard, souhaitant conserver un élément important du patrimoine industriel de la ville, l'intègre dans le parc des Chantiers.
Elle affiche un poids de 400 tonnes, une hauteur de 43 mètres et une puissance de levage de 80 tonnes. Elle subit une rénovation de douze semaines en 2006, la seconde en onze ans, comprenant une sécurisation, un allègement des contrepoids et 1,8 tonne de peinture.
Comptant parmi les éléments-phares du réaménagement de l'île de Nantes, elle constitue le point de destination du circuit de promenade de l'éléphant des machines de l'île.

Conserved remains of a gothique castle, founded in early 14th Century. It stood on the rebel side in the Hussite side, but its owner switched sides in the last phase of the conflict, and the castle was unsuccesfuly besieged by Hussites in 1434. The owning lord is mentioned a few weeks later as one of the knights, who decided the battle of Lipany, in which the Hussites were definitely crushed. The castle was used together with a newly built baroque manor until 1621, when both were plundered and burned down by imperial soldiers. The manor was quickly restored, but the castle was abandoned, and parts of it were systematically demolished, after the whole county was sold to a enterpreneur. When his son, after he inherited the castle, is elevated to a noble in 1865, he sees himslef to be a successor to the knight tradition of the castle, stops its destruction and begins conservation efforts. In the communist era the ruin was statically conserved in the then-typical way, which was not the most sensitive, it was returned together with the manor to their last owners in 1990ies, and is freely accessible today, with deep cellars and tight tunnels undergrounds.

Lucignano represents a remarkably conserved medieval walled hill-top village, elliptical in shape. It was strategically located between Siena and Arezzo, and between 1200 and 1500 was disputed between these cities and Florenceand Perugia. The name Lucignano probably derives from the Roman family of the consul Licinio. Once the town came under the rule of Florence, construction began of the fortress, attributed to Bernardo Puccini. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucignano

The San Francisco Bay is a special place. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s special. I had a friend and college shoot me an email about trying to get out of a photographic funk and coming back off a hiatus. He was specifically asking me for ideas regarding motivation. “where do you go when you need to be inspired?” he asked me. The list of places which would qualify for me is long indeed, and the geography that list would cover is vast. But living where we do, there’s no place like SF to provide endless possibilities.
Whether your preference is photographing people, architecture, landscapes, icons of the globe, or a study on what happens when man and nature meet, there is no place like it.
I have traveled to this spot at least 7 times attempting to catch fog like this, each time the fog being too high with zero visibility. Last week, on my birthday, I finally was able to witness this event first hand. If you’ve never stood in the Marin Headlands and looked out towards San Francisco swallowed up in an ocean of fog… well, I don’t know what to tell you besides you’re missing out.
Conserved domain architecture of wBm-LigA and phylogenetic tree of DNA ligases from various organisms.(A) Conserved domain architecture of wBm-LigA typical of DNA ligase superfamily includes adenylation domain (9–304) with KXDG catalytic site(114–117) involved in adenylation reaction, OB fold domain(307–387), HhH (helix hairpin helix) and BRCT domain (609–671). (B) Phylogenetic trees were constructed with Maximum likelihood (ML) methods using PROML programs of PHYLIP 3.69.

Trosky (literally "debris") is one of the most significant places in Czech lands with unique look. It was built on a relict of a volcano, two basalt towers which were exposed by long time erosion, those towers made of compact basanite were originally magma flows of two monogenetic volcanos. Due to it´s material composition, the towers are strong enough to bear the buildings. The building began around 1380, first the inner castle between the towers was completed, then the turrets on the towers which were accessible from the lower buildings through wooden towers and bridges. The lower, pentagonal tower is known as Baba (old hag) and is freely accesible, the higher one is named Panna (maiden) and is actually isolated and inaccessible. A spiral staircase to Panna had to be built in 1841, but was never finished after the death of the builder. The castle stood on the royal side in the Hussite wars, and was unsuccesfully besieged in 1424 by the Hussites. It was taken through a ruse by marauders in 1438, which withstood all attacks for years and terorized the surrounding county until 1444. After it was bought by the owner of the nearby Kost Castle in 1455, Trosky lost it´s primal role and became only a local administrative center for the next century. It served as a base for Swedes in the Thirty years war, in 1648 the castle burned down. It was bought in 1821 by the Aehrentals, a new type of rich enterpreneurs who invested into rescue od cultural heritage sites, and also Trosky has been changed into a tourist attraction, but the work was not finished. The castle became property of the Czech tourist club in 1920ies, the walls have been conserved, in 2000 the Baba tower was made accesible with incredible lookout into the landscape. It´s a place worthy of a visit.

Chepstow Castle
Site history
Built - 1067–1300
Built by - William fitzOsbern
William Marshal and his sons
Roger Bigod
In use - 1067–1685
Materials - Various forms of limestone and sandstone
Chepstow Castle (Welsh: Castell Cas-gwent) at Chepstow, Monmouthshire, Wales is the oldest surviving post-Roman stone fortification in Britain. Located above cliffs on the River Wye, construction began in 1067 under the instruction of the Norman Lord William FitzOsbern. Originally known as Striguil, it was the southernmost of a chain of castles built in the Welsh Marches, and with its attached lordship took the name of the adjoining market town in about the 14th century.
In the 12th century the castle was used in the conquest of Gwent, the first independent Welsh kingdom to be conquered by the Normans. It was subsequently held by two of the most powerful Anglo-Norman magnates of medieval England, William Marshal and Richard de Clare. However, by the 16th century its military importance had waned and parts of its structure were converted into domestic ranges. Although re-garrisoned during and after the English Civil War, by the 1700s it had fallen into decay. With the later growth of tourism, the castle became a popular visitor destination.
The ruins were Grade I listed on 6 December 1950.
Building of the castle
Chepstow Castle is situated on a narrow ridge between the limestone river cliff and a valley, known locally as the Dell, on its landward side. Its full extent is best appreciated from the opposite bank of the River Wye. The castle has four baileys, added in turn through its history. Despite this, it is not a defensively strong castle, having neither a strong keep nor a concentric layout. The multiple baileys instead show its construction history, which is generally considered in four major phases.[1] The first serious architectural study of Chepstow began in 1904[2] and the canonical description was long considered to be by Perks in 1955.[3] Recent studies[4] have revised the details of these phases, but still maintain the same broad structure.
Foundation, 1067–1188
The speed with which William the Conqueror committed to the creation of a castle at Chepstow is testament to its strategic importance. There is no evidence for a settlement there of any size before the Norman invasion of Wales, although it is possible that the castle site itself may have previously been a prehistoric or early medieval stronghold.[5] The site overlooked an important crossing point on the River Wye, a major artery of communications inland to Monmouth and Hereford. At the time, the Welsh kingdoms in the area were independent of the English Crown and the castle in Chepstow would also have helped suppress the Welsh from attacking Gloucestershire along the Severn shore towards Gloucester. However, recent analysis suggests that the rulers of Gwent, who had recently fought against King Harold, may initially have been on good terms with the Normans.[6]
The precipitous limestone cliffs beside the river afforded an excellent defensive location. Building work started under William FitzOsbern in 1067 or shortly afterwards. The Great Tower was probably completed by about 1090, possibly intended as a show of strength by King William in dealing with the Welsh king Rhys ap Tewdwr.[7] It was constructed in stone from the first (as opposed to wood, like most others built at this time), marking its importance as a stronghold on the border between England and Wales. Although much of the stone seems to have been quarried locally, there is also evidence that some of the blocks were re-used from the Roman ruins at Caerwent.[7]
The castle originally had the Norman name of Striguil, derived from the Welsh word ystraigl meaning "river bend". FitzOsbern also founded a priory nearby, and the associated market town and port of Chepstow developed over the next few centuries. The castle and the associated Marcher lordship were generally known as Striguil until the late 14th century, and as Chepstow thereafter.[7]
Expansion by William Marshal and Roger Bigod, 1189–1300
Further fortifications were added by William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke, starting in the 1190s. The wood in the doors of the gatehouse has been dated by dendrochronology to the period 1159–89.[7] Marshal extended and modernised the castle, drawing on his knowledge of warfare gained in France and the Crusades. He built the present main gatehouse, strengthened the defences of the Middle Bailey with round towers, and, before his death in 1219, may also have rebuilt the Upper Bailey defences. Further work to expand the Great Tower was undertaken for William Marshal's sons William, Richard, Gilbert and Walter, in the period to 1245.[7]
In 1270, the castle was inherited by Roger Bigod, 5th Earl of Norfolk, who was a grandson of William Marshal's eldest daughter, Maud. He constructed a new range of buildings in the Lower Bailey, as accommodation for himself and his family. Bigod was also responsible for building Chepstow's town wall, the "Port Wall", around 1274–78. The castle was visited by King Edward I in 1284, at the end of his triumphal tour through Wales. Soon afterwards, Bigod had built a new tower (later known as "Marten's Tower"), which now dominates the landward approach to the castle, and also remodelled the Great Tower.[7]
Later history
Decline in defensive importance, 1300–1403
From the 14th century, and in particular the end of the wars between England and Wales in the early 15th century, its defensive importance declined. In 1312 it passed into the control of Thomas de Brotherton, Earl of Norfolk, and later his daughter Margaret. It was garrisoned in response to the rebellion of Owain Glyndŵr in 1403 with twenty men-at-arms and sixty archers but its great size, limited strategic importance, geographical location and the size of its garrison all probably contributed to Glyndŵr's forces avoiding attacking it, although they did successfully attack Newport Castle.
The 15th to 17th centuries
In 1468, the castle was part of the estates granted by the Earl of Norfolk to William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke in exchange for lands in the east of England. In 1508, it passed to Sir Charles Somerset, later the Earl of Worcester, who remodelled the buildings extensively as private accommodation. From the 16th century, after the abolition of the Marcher lords' autonomous powers by King Henry VIII through the Laws in Wales Acts of 1535 and 1542, and Chepstow's incorporation as part of the new county of Monmouthshire, the castle became more designed for occupation as a great house.[7]
The Civil War and its aftermath
The castle saw action again during the English Civil War, when it was in the front line between Royalist Monmouthshire and Parliamentarian Gloucestershire. It was held by the Royalists and besieged in both 1645 and in 1648, eventually falling to the Parliamentarian forces on 25 May 1648. A memorial to Sir Nicholas Kemeys, who led the Royalist defence during the Second Civil war and was killed in combat after refusing to surrender after the castle's fall, lies within the keep.[8]
After the war, the castle was garrisoned and maintained as an artillery fort and barracks. It was also used as a political prison. Its occupants included Bishop Jeremy Taylor, and – after the Restoration of the monarchy – Henry Marten, one of the Commissioners who signed the death warrant of Charles I, who was imprisoned here before his own death in 1680.
Decay of the building, and the start of tourism
In 1682, the castle came into the ownership of the Duke of Beaufort. The garrison was disbanded in 1685, and the buildings were partly dismantled, leased to tenants and left to decay. Various parts of the castle were used as a farmyard and a glass factory. By the late 18th century, its ruins became, with other sites in the Wye valley, a "Picturesque" feature on the "Wye tour", pleasure boat trips down the river from Ross-on-Wye via Monmouth. The first guide book to the castle and town was written by Charles Heath of Monmouth and was published in 1793.[7]
The 19th and 20th centuries
By the 1840s, tourism was continuing to grow, particularly with day trips on steam ships from Bristol. At the same time, the courtyard of the castle began to be used for local horticultural shows, fêtes, and, increasingly from the 1880s, historical pageants sanctioned by the Duke of Beaufort. Although he tried to sell the castle in 1899, no buyer could be found.
In 1910/11, the castle and adjoining river bed were the site of well-publicised excavations by Dr. Orville Ward Owen, who was attempting to find secret documents to prove that Shakespeare's plays had in fact been written by Francis Bacon.[9] In 1913, the movie Ivanhoe, starring King Baggot, was made in the grounds. The following year, the castle was bought by businessman William Royse Lysaght, of Tutshill, and conservation work began.[7]
In 1953, the Lysaght family put the castle into the care of the Ministry of Works. In 1977 Terry Gilliam shot some of his film adaptation of Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky" at the castle. During 1984–1986, it was used as one of the locations for HTV's "Robin Of Sherwood" starring Michael Praed.[10] Brazilian heavy metal band Sepultura recorded part of their fifth album Chaos A.D. in the castle, in 1993.[11]
The castle today
Chepstow Castle is open to the public, and since 1984 has been in the care of Cadw, the Welsh government body with the responsibility for protecting, conserving and promoting the built heritage of Wales. There are special events held often in the castle and visitors are now able to walk along the battlements and into Marten's Tower. The castle was used for the filming some scenes for the Doctor Who 50th anniversary broadcast.[12][13]

★What IS THE INTERNATIONAL FIBER COLLABORATIVE?
As the leading voice for collaborative public art projects around the world, the International Fiber Collaborative is dedicated to promoting understanding and appreciation of contemporary art & craft through educational experiences. We are committed to developing vital education programs that elevate, expand, modernize and enhance the image of collaboration and education today.
★WHAT IS THE DREAM ROCKET PROJECT?
The Dream Rocket Team is collecting nearly 8,000 artworks from participants around the globe. The artwork will be assembled together to create a massive cover in which will wrap a 37 story Saturn V Moon Rocket at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. We will also be displaying submitted artwork in dozens of national venues prior to the wrapping of the Saturn V. Additionally, we are posting images of submitted artwork & their stories on our Website, Flickr, and Facebook.The Dream Rocket project uses the Saturn V Moon Rocket as a symbolism of universal values of the human spirit. Optimism, hope,
caring for our natural resources, scientific exploration, and harnessing technological advancements for a better quality of life while safeguarding our communities, are all common desires across national and international boundaries. Participants are able to express and learn about these values through this creative collaboration. With the completion of each artwork, participants are asked to write an essay explaining their artwork, and the dream theme in which they chose.
★I VALUE THE ARTS!!!!

CONSERVING ENERGY
“I really enjoyed this session – it was very informative and I learned a lot of things about saving electricity. Usually our teachers don’t tell us these things, but after this session me and my friends will go home and switch off extra lights and switches. I hope the team from PESCO comes back again to our school so we can learn more and win new prizes next time.”
