A crowd of Japanese girls watch a bear during a new store opening in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan. September 2011.
Man oh man, Castor River Shut Ins is an amazing location for a photoshoot. Man oh man, this shoot was gruelling. Hiking, jumping from rock to rock, plus the normal fatigue from shooting, plus extra weird angles, plus there were like five or six different models. I was ready to die at the end of it.
Still, it was amazing and I loved it. I just wish Castor River Shut Ins were air conditioned.

This two-piece fiberglass sculpture depicting a man and a trained dancing bear, located in a section of Underground Atlanta formerly known as Humburg Square, was designed by sculptor Doug Foltz in 1989.
During Atlanta's pioneer days, the stretch of Alabama Street between Peachtree and Pryor Streets was known as "Humbug Square" because of the confidence men, fast buck artists, moonshiners, and snake oil salesmen who frequented. it. Common sights were travelling medicine shows, trained bears and fervent political speakers.
Underground Atlanta is a shopping and entertainment district first opened in 1969 in the viaducts of the Five Points neighborhood built to bridge the railroad tracks and relieve automobile congestion in the downtown area. The concrete viaducts, proposed by architect Haralson Bleckley, were built during the 1920's, elevating the street system one level, with merchants moved their operations to the second floor.
As the city continued to grow at the new street level, the 12-acre "underground" area was left abandoned until the 1960's when Steven H. Fuller, Jr., and Jack R. Patterson developed a "city beneath the city." The intact original storefronts were transformed into shops, restaurants and bars, set among the surviving architectural features including ornate marble, granite archways, cast iron pilasters, decorative brickwork, and hand-carved wood posts and panels. The Underground became one of the most iconic and popular places in metro Atlanta, reaching 3.5 million visitors in 1972.
Construction of the MARTA East line in 1975 tore out several blocks of clubs in the area and eliminated parking. As development marched north on Peachtree and into the suburbs in the late 1970's, crime in the downtown area became untenable, and the Underground lost its cache. It was closed in 1982 and left dormant for most of the decade.
In the late 1980's, the City took on $85 million in debt to finance a $142m renovation conducted by The Rouse Company, and partnering with developers John Aderhold and Dan O'Leary, reopened the Underground as more of a modern shopping mall on June 15, 1989. With major retail chains and the opening of the World of Coca-Cola next door in 1990, the Underground experienced a brief revitalization. In 1992, in the wake of the Rodney King verdict, the area was damaged by rioters and sales have never quite recovered.

Sens was an important place in medieval times. Upto the 11th century the Archbishop of Sens hold the title "Primate of the Gauls and Germania". Thomas Becket lived in Sens for some time, when he was forced to leave England. Here Thomas met Pope Pope Alexander III. In 1141 Bishop Henri Sanglier here caused the condemnation of Peter Abelard.
Bishop Henri Sanglier was well connected to the leading political figures. He and Abbot Suger de Saint-Denis were close friends - and had similar architectural ideas. Abbot Suger decided around 1137 to rebuild the Church of Saint-Denis. Bishop Henri started the construction of this cathedral around 1140.
It is still discussed, which church is older, as this would be the oldest early Gothic church in France. While in Saint Denis (130kms northwest) the building process came to an halt for some time, the choir of the cathedral in Sens was completed already in 1168.
It is sure, as Suger´s church in Saint Denis was an abbey church, the "Cathédrale Saint-Étienne de Sens" is the oldest Gothic cathedral in France.
Of course, there were many alterations done later. After the southern tower of the western facade collapsed in 1267 it got rebuilt within the next decades. By then the early Gothic style had developed, so parts of the facade got remodeled end of the 13th century.
The main portal of the facade, maybe a little younger than the western one but in the main parts created before the southern tower collapsed.
I found the two sides most interesting, though they are pretty weathered.
The upper tier has "arts" - dialectic, rhetoric, arithmetic, geometry etc. The lower tier has "nature" including some strange, exotic animals.
Is the man wrestling or dancing with the bear?
Honey Bear, or Dancing Bear, sculpted by Frederick George Richard Roth in 1935, was installed in in basins that flanked Kelly’s Cafeteria at the western terrace of the Central Park Zoo. In 1988, when the Central Park Zoo reopened, the cafeteria was removed to make way for the snow macaque island and pond, while the sculpture was relocated to an alcove near the north entrances to the zoo between the Delacorte Clock and the Denesmouth Arch in 1937. In 1993, the Central Park Conservancy refurbished the statues.
The 6-foot bronze bear stands upright on his hind legs, with his tongue sticking out. Along with its kin, the Dancing Goat, the sculpture doubles as a fountain. Water sprays from the mouths of five frogs positioned in the foliage around the 28-inch high stone base.
Frederick G.R. Roth, a Brooklyn-born graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin, was hired in 1934 as part of the Works Progress Administration as the chief sculptor for Parks. His other fanciful sculptures littering the park include Mother Goose in Rumsey Playfield, Balto, and the Sophie Irene Loeb Fountain in James Michael Levin Playground.
Central Park was designated a scenic landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1974.

The Berchtesgaden monastery was founded in 1102 as community of Augustinian Canons by Count Berengar of Sulzbach, a friend of Henry V. The Canons felt nor safe and comfortable in the wild, wooded area - and gave up the place soon after.
They returned with the first Provost Eberwin around 1120 - and started a success story. The monastery became an Imperial abbey in already 1194. In 1380 the provosts achieved the status of an ecclesistical "Reichsfuerst" and in the 1550s they even held a direct vote in the Reichstag assembly as "Prince-Provosts". From the very beginning upto the secularisation of the monastery in 1803 it was open only for the offsprings of noble families, what actually created this political power. In 1810 the territory of the former monastery fell to the newly established Kingdom of Bavaria, so that the House of Wittelsbach could finally transform the monastic buildings into a summer palace.
The former collegiate church "St. Peter and St. John the Baptist" serves as a parish church since 1803.
The most important piece of architecture (for me) is the cloister. Most of the structure survived all the time, and even when the House of Wittelsbach converted the provostry into a summer palace, the old closter stayed untouched. The carving style here is very rough and differs from the sophisticated works seen an St. Zeno, less than 20 kms south. The motifs and symbols found here are very graphic.
This carving is next to that large man, just seen. A sitting man, as well wearing a hood or helmet plays the harp, while a dog (bear?) above him, seems to dance.
38th Whittlesey Straw Bear 2017
In Whittlesea, from when no one quite knows, it was the custom on the Tuesday following Plough Monday (the 1st Monday after Twelfth Night) to dress one of the confraternity of the plough in straw and call him a 'Straw Bear'. A newspaper of 1882 reports that "... he was then taken around the town to entertain by his frantic and clumsy gestures the good folk who had on the previous day subscribed to the rustics, a spread of beer, tobacco and beef".
The tradition fell into decline at the end of the 19th century, the last sighting being in 1909 as it appears that an over-zealous police inspector had forbidden 'Straw Bears' as a form of cadging.
Revival
The custom was revived in 1980 by the Whittlesea Society, and for the first time in seventy years a 'Straw Bear' was seen on the streets accompanied by his attendant keeper, musicians and dancers, about 30 in all. Various public houses were visited around the town as convenient places for the 'Bear' and dancers to perform in front of an audience - with much needed refreshment available.
With sales of about 200 million copies, “A Tale of Two Cities” is the biggest selling novel in history. It began as weekly installments from April 30, 1859 to November 26, 1859 in Dickens’ literary periodical titled “All the Year Round.” It depicts the plight of the French peasantry demoralized by the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the French revolution, the corresponding brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward the former aristocrats in the early years of the revolution, and many unflattering social parallels with life in London during the same period.
Chapman & Hall published the novel in 8 monthly parts (July – December 1859) and in book form that same year and commissioned Hablot K. Browne [Phiz] to create full page illustrations for the story. It was the last of Dickens’ books to be illustrated by Hablot K. Browne.
