The Alhambra (/ælˈhæmbrə/; Spanish: [aˈlambɾa]; Arabic: الْحَمْرَاء [ʔælħæmˈɾˠɑːʔ], Al-Ḥamrā, lit. "The Red One"),[Note 1][Note 2] the complete Arabic form of which was Qalat Al-Hamra,[Note 3] is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. It was originally constructed as a small fortress in AD 889 on the remains of Roman fortifications, and then largely ignored until its ruins were renovated and rebuilt in the mid-13th century by the Arab emir Mohammed ben Al-Ahmar of the Emirate of Granada, who built its current palace and walls. It was converted into a royal palace in 1333 by Yusuf I, Sultan of Granada.[1] After the conclusion of the Christian Reconquista in 1492, the site became the Royal Court of Ferdinand and Isabella (where Christopher Columbus received royal endorsement for his expedition), and the palaces were partially altered in the Renaissance style. In 1526 Charles I & V commissioned a new Renaissance palace better befitting the Holy Roman Emperor in the revolutionary Mannerist style influenced by Humanist philosophy in direct juxtaposition with the Nasrid Andalusian architecture, but which was ultimately never completed due to Morisco rebellions in Granada.
Alhambra's late flowering of Islamic palaces were built for the last Muslim emirs in Spain during the decline of the Nasrid dynasty who were increasingly subject to the Christian Kings of Castile. After being allowed to fall into disrepair for centuries, the buildings occupied by squatters, Alhambra was rediscovered following the defeat of Napoleon, who had conducted retaliatory destruction of the site. The rediscoverers were first British intellectuals and then other north European Romantic travelers. It is now one of Spain's major tourist attractions, exhibiting the country's most significant and well-known Islamic architecture, together with 16th-century and later Christian building and garden interventions. The Alhambra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the inspiration for many songs and stories.[2]
Moorish poets described it as "a pearl set in emeralds," an allusion to the colour of its buildings and the woods around them.[3] The palace complex was designed with the mountainous site in mind and many forms of technology were considered. The park (Alameda de la Alhambra), which is overgrown with wildflowers and grass in the spring, was planted by the Moors with roses, oranges, and myrtles; its most characteristic feature, however, is the dense wood of English elms brought by the Duke of Wellington in 1812. The park has a multitude of nightingales and is usually filled with the sound of running water from several fountains and cascades. These are supplied through a conduit 8 km (5.0 mi) long, which is connected with the Darro at the monastery of Jesus del Valle above Granada.[4]
Despite long neglect, willful vandalism, and some ill-judged restoration, the Alhambra endures as an atypical example of Muslim art in its final European stages, relatively uninfluenced by the direct Byzantine influences found in the Mezquita of Córdoba. The majority of the palace buildings are quadrangular in plan, with all the rooms opening on to a central court, and the whole reached its present size simply by the gradual addition of new quadrangles, designed on the same principle, though varying in dimensions, and connected with each other by smaller rooms and passages. Alhambra was extended by the different Muslim rulers who lived in the complex. However, each new section that was added followed the consistent theme of "paradise on earth". Column arcades, fountains with running water, and reflecting pools were used to add to the aesthetic and functional complexity. In every case, the exterior was left plain and austere. Sun and wind were freely admitted. Blue, red, and a golden yellow, all somewhat faded through lapse of time and exposure, are the colors chiefly employed.[4]
The decoration consists for the upper part of the walls, as a rule, of Arabic inscriptions—mostly poems by Ibn Zamrak and others praising the palace—that are manipulated into geometrical patterns with vegetal background set onto an arabesque setting ("Ataurique"). Much of this ornament is carved stucco (plaster) rather than stone. Tile mosaics ("alicatado"), with complicated mathematical patterns ("tracería", most precisely "lacería"), are largely used as panelling for the lower part. Similar designs are displayed on wooden ceilings (Alfarje).[4] Muqarnas are the main elements for vaulting with stucco, and some of the most accomplished dome examples of this kind are in the Court of the Lions halls. The palace complex is designed in the Nasrid style, the last blooming of Islamic Art in the Iberian Peninsula, that had a great influence on the Maghreb to the present day, and on contemporary Mudejar Art, which is characteristic of western elements reinterpreted into Islamic forms and widely popular during the Reconquista in Spain. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alhambra

August 2013.
Long weekend based in Aberdeen and Glasgow.
The current castle was begun in 1575 by the 6th Laird of Fraser, Michael Fraser, on the basis of an earlier tower, and was completed in 1636. Castle Fraser, one of the Castles of Mar, is built on the ‘Z-plan’ design. It was modernised in a classical style in the late 18th century
During the civil war period the Fraser family were covenanters. As a result the castle was sacked in 1644 by the Marquis of Montrose.
The castle featured in the film, "The Queen".
Currently sitting at 163k and going beautifully. All I need to do shortly is get some new tyres and brakes. Both still have life left but I don't like running them right down. These should be done in the next week or so before my next long distance drive.
May 29, 2023 - "The skyline of downtown Columbus has been transformed with this monumental artwork by internationally recognized sculptor Janet Echelman. "Current" is a stunning, ephemeral, sky-high sculpture that will inspire wonder and imagination in all who see it. As it dances gracefully in the wind, this awe-inspiring work of art will become an emblem of Columbus’ culture and innovation.
The design and installation of "Current" was funded by Jeff Edwards. He has graciously donated the work to the Museum. We will oversee the care and maintenance of the sculpture as part of our permanent collection." Previous description of "Current" from a Facebook post by the Columbus Museum of Art.

And there we have it, all 3 of my current car builds in their latest versions! Which one is your favorite?
In the order from oldest to newest are my BRZ, Supra, and RX7! Over time with these builds, my building skills have definitely improved. I have a big list of cars that I want to build, but since this is a hobby for me, I like to take my time with them. I think I'm a pretty slow builder, but at the beginning of the year, my goal was to design 2 cars this year. Hopefully, I can accomplish this goal :) I'm going to start working on one very soon and I plan on sharing some work-in-progress photos of them. That means I won't be posting very much and consistently.
Big thank you to you and everyone for following and supporting me! Other Lego creators have inspired me to share my creations with the world and I am glad I did it and hope to continue doing so! Thank you all so much, I'm excited to see where this journey heads to!!
Version: BRZ v3.1, Supra v1.1, & RX7 v1.0

The current building was designed in Palladian style by James Gibbs in 1722, though having drawn up the plans he left all the internal design and execution to Francis Smith of Warwick. Prior to this Palladian mansion, in the Elizabethan era the estate was purchased by Sir Henry Lee (1533-1611), a noted courtier who was visited by the queen. He commissioned the Ditchley Portrait of Elizabeth I, to commemorate the visit, in which she is standing on a map of the British Isles, one foot resting near Ditchley and Oxfordshire (there is a copy at the house). He was later noted for declining to receive the queen a second time, because of the enormous expense.
This map is current as of 1:30 Tuesday afternoon.

Currently about 300 people, 68 families live in small bamboo huts on stilts at the rubbish dumpsite of Mae Sot/ Thailand. These refugees who successfully fled the brutal military regime in Burma, with hopes of leading a life free of human rights abuses, are living under dire conditions. They lack working and residency papers, they are illegal immigrants living and working in the middle of stinky dump.
Their spirit of survival is amazing, but their conditions are terribly dismal. They literally live on the garbage and their houses are constructed and built from the recycled material from the garbage dump itself. The basic essentials they need to survive and to live as human beings basically come from the garbage dump and these include food, clothing, toys for their children, pots and utensils for cooking and even the water they drink come from the lake near the dumpsite which is terribly contaminated.
Please help to make a difference and relocate these refugees to a clean and safe area. On a rented property we will build basic infrastructural facilities such as housing, toilets and a water well.

EVA's current business class offering, Royal Laurel, which features fully flat reverse herringbone seats. This was by far the best sleep I'd ever gotten on an airplane and one of the few times I've been fortunate enough to have a fully flat seat on a longhaul sector.
i found a super cheapo bottle of sinful colors 'nail junkie' at a pharmacy yesterday- i haven't seen this brand since i lived in the US. anyway, this colour is super gorgeous and glittery. i attempted to do 'syrup' nails, but i don't think it really worked. 1 coat sally hansen x-treme 'white on', many many multiple gradient layers of sinful colors 'nail junkie', sv fast dry top coat. when this chips, i'll just throw some black shatter on top. that should be pretty.
oh, and to add- i've ended (obviously) my lifelong ban on glitter nail polish. to get it off? put some acetone on a cotton ball, put on your nail, wrap with a small bit of foil, let sit for a few minutes (i had like, 8 layers of glitter polish on my toes, i left the acetone on for 15 minutes). when you take the foil off, most of the polish will be on the cotton ball and the rest comes off with a simple swipe or two. GLITTER IS BACK! which is good because the opi muppet collection coming out has six glitters that i will possibly die without).
Sitting in the second row of the orchestra, the trombone musicians give volume to the performance.

She creates a natural order in time with her existance and by her date of birth, on a daily basis, weekly basis, yearly basis and in forward motion time placement. :)
Its also an Ordinance in time,

The current boys in my resin crew of a picture I took last month. This will probably be the last of how Qi will look like as he is now >...< before I send him off.
Hmm seems like Masa is keeping a distance from the other 2 ...wonder what's up...
