Today we leave the town of Autun to reach a very small village perched on a high hilltop (at 603 meters of altitude, I wouldn’t call it a “mountaintop”): Mont-Saint-Vincent. Although its height remains modest, it dominates a large portion of southern Burgundy and offers fine views all around, which may be one of the reasons it was inhabited and used both for religious and defensive purposes since the dawn of times.
A first church was built here to receive the mortal remains of Saint Vincent in the 6th century, but there is nothing left of it. Then, a Cluniac priory was founded here in the 9th century, after the place was donated to the priory of Paray-le-Monial (itself affiliated directly to Cluny) by the Count of Chalon in 988.
Significant portions of that church remain integrated in the third church, the one we can still see today, which was completed in the early 1100s.
It is a fine and massive Romanesque church (albeit with unfortunate Gothic additions), featuring in particular a fine porch and a nice and harmonious apse which I will show you tomorrow.
However, the main reason I wanted to see that church is because it is the only one in the whole Christendom (to the best of my knowledge!) that copied and used the marvelously simple and efficient architectural find implemented in the big abbey church of Tournus, i.e., transverse barrel vaulting over the nave.
This Columbus’s egg of Romanesque architecture, which allows a perfectly efficient distribution of the weight of the stone vault, was a great discovery, which allowed the Saint-Philibert church in Tournus to rank among the very foremost masterpieces of the Middle Ages... but, strangely enough, it was never ever used after Tournus... except in the humble church of Mont-Saint-Vincent!
On these two photos, you can see those transverse barrel vaults... and you can also appreciate the damages suffered by the church because of the bad, humid weather that is often prevalent on this high locale.

Yes, this is a mainline train with nothing but SD40-2s, just what decade are we in?
Too bad 1687 fell victim to the primer door.

Abandoned places in Berlin
The former investigative and district court prison in Berlin Köpenick * 1899 was begun in Berlin-Köpenick with the construction of a district court and a prison and taken at the end of 1901 in operation. In May 1933, the SA took over the prison. She used it as a central detention and torture center. During this time, known as Blood Week, communists, dissenters, and Jews were maltreated and murdered behind thick brick walls.
At the time of the GDR, the building was initially used as a men's and youth prison and later converted as a remand prison. Since the eighties, the building is largely empty.
The dilapidated Berlin-Köpenick prison shows Spartan prison conditions at the time of the Emperors. No heating, no toilets, sleeping in dark, tiny cells on wooden bunks
Decades of decay have left their mark: once green and white paint peeling off the walls,
Cell to cell, four stories high, door latch and folding spy doors through which the guards watched the inmates.
If you were here, you whould not feel the need to come back here after the dismissal.
When you have allergies, you might keep tab of things like high pollen counts in your area. But, if you are a hard-working Bumble Bee you couldn't be happier when that pollen count is up there!
Not only do I try to stay indoors when the pollen count is high, when there are stings that sting I try to avoid them, too. But, when one flies into your shot while trying to take a close up of some Lantana, you have to take advantage of the moment and then walk away calmy and carefully - and then hurry back indoors!

I'm counting on hearts like yours
to keep me burning,
to keep me up
'til two in the morning.
You be bright
when I'm starting to rust,
you be 'Why?'
behind the 'What?'
Indeed, some things are not as they seem. Us cats on the 'walks, you could say we are holding onto yesterday's dreams. But you know what? Some things are very much worth fighting for. The life of the cats ruling the rooftops and catwalks, that was something we took to the grave with us. Now, only embers remain cycled through the dust of the ages. Yet, if you listen closely, you may hear the subtle purring flutter through the night sky. Maybe the hairs on the back of your neck may raise, as if indicating that some predator is toying with you as their prey. That shiver you feel on the rooftop during the night, can you be certain that it is merely a subtle cool breeze, or could there be something calling out from nights of the depths of the past to remind you that you were not always safe to be up here? Maybe you still are not, and some ghost during the twilight stalks you and seeks to give you a fright, and remind you of those cats who used to live and fight for their right to rule the rooftops they once called home.
But I will never let go,
never let up my hold,
'cause I know
once you feel it
you can't unfeel it.
once you dream it
you can't undream it.
It's funny how they used the same head for Count Dooku and Saruman, seeing how they're both played by Christopher Lee. Which makes it even more funny how Yoda looks remarkably like an Orc.
This was taken a few nights ago in New York City, the view from the hotel was incredible and I had the thought that this year was so full of moments that I wanted to collect like stars to have over me and look at whenever I wanted.

Earlier today, I was looking forward to a day off tomorrown, calm, quiet with not much to do at all.
I was wrong.
Heading way south tomorrow, again.
Hopefully, it will be a good journey.
The ever popular Winnats Pass. The proxity to road definitely appealed to me for a summer sunrise! I wonder what lives in that cave?
