Human occupation of Castle Hill and present day Bratislava date back millennia. In antiquity a sophisticated Celtic civilization emerged here. Archaeological investigation on Castle Hill revealed Celtic-minted coins bearing the names of chieftains in Latin letters and evidence of significant trade with Rome. Unfortunately, historians have no idea what the Celts called the city that is now Bratislava.
Sometime in late antiquity or the early middle ages the Slavs arrived, eventually organizing themselves into Great Moravia, a hazily understood Slavic Christian state that once ruled over large areas of Central Europe. A Frankish text from this era refers to the city as Brezalauspurc, Old German for "Braslav's castle."
After Great Moravia's collapse much of present day Slovakia came under the control of the Hungarians, who called the city Pozsony. But in 1526, the Hungarian King Louis II was killed by invading Ottomans at the Battle of Mohacs, and the Hungarian crown--including what remained of Hungary outside of Ottoman control--passed to the Austrian Habsburgs, who called the city Pressburg.
The city now became the capital of Royal Hungary, the Habsburg ruled portion of Hungary that did not fall to the Ottomans. For three centuries, Hungarian monarchs were crowned in the Gothic Saint Martin's Cathedral (left of image) and Castle Hill became the site of a great Habsburg palace. Pozsony/Pressburg was a thriving multiethnic city, with many Slavs, Germans, and Magyars, (not to mention migrants from elsewhere in Europe) calling the city by its various names according to their own language or preference.
After the Habsburg reconquest of Ottoman-occupied Hungary in the late seventeenth century, the political center of Hungary gradually shifted back to Buda. By the late eighteenth century, Castle Hill lost its military and royal significance, and it eventually burned and fell into ruin. Meanwhile, Slovak resentment of Hungarian influence gave rise to a growing nationalist movement, and--with the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the end of the First World War--to the formation of Czechoslovakia, conceived of as a Slavic nation.
In 1919 Czechoslovak authorities, wanting a new name for the city that distinguished it as a Slavic, as opposed to German or Hungarian city, renamed it Bratislava. Ironically, this name was adopted because a Slovak scholar somewhat misinterpreted the Old German term Brezalauspurc, believing the city was named for a Slavic Duke Bretislav, rather than Braslav's Castle. In the 1950s and 60s the ruins of the old castle, once a symbol of Habsburg and Hungarian power, were rebuilt to house the Museum of History in Bratislava, a branch of the Slovak National Museum.

Portpatrick is a village and civil parish in the historical county of Wigtownshire, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. It is located on the west coast of the Rhins of Galloway. The parish is about 4+1⁄2 miles (7 km) in length and 4 miles (6 km) in breadth, covering 9,300 acre Dating back some 700 years and built adjacent to the ruins of nearby Dunskey Castle, Portpatrick's position on the Rhins of Galloway affords visitors views of the Northern Irish coast 21 miles (34 km) to the west, with cliff-top walks and beaches both north and south. The Gulf Stream, flowing in from the north, gives the coastline a pleasant climate, in which subtropical plant life can flourish.
Portpatrick has a Community Council,[5] and an annual Life Boat Week, featuring parades, activities, and a firework display.[6] There are bowls clubs, a golf club, many guesthouses and hotels, and rustic public houses. The village is also home to a mini putting course.
By the inner harbour is the starting point of the Southern Upland Way, a long-distance walking route to Cockburnspath on the east coast. The Portpatrick Hotel, built in 1905 and extended in 1907, sits on the cliffs above this point.
The village was used as one of the locations for the 1952 film Hunted, starring Dirk Bogarde and directed by Charles Crichton. It also featured in the BBC drama Two Thousand Acres of Sky as a stand-in for Portree.
Dating back to early 17th century, Jagaddhatri (Bearer of the World) worship is a cult in erstwhile French township of Eastern India, Chandannagar. An approximately 20-30 feet clay idol of Maa Jagadhatri is worshiped for 5 days, housed in beautifully crafted 'pandal' (sort of a marquee) magnificently lit by the famous lighting industry that is prevalent here. The artisans work round the year for this occasion as the city lights up into a 5 day carnival with millions of footfalls visiting multiple such pandals. Presenting one such pandal decked up with the theme of Dokra alloy artwork, popular in the rural parts of Bengal, with Maa Jagaddhatri in the backdrop.

while I've been officially grown for more than a while now I think this was the year that my adulthood 'switch' officially turned on in my head and the more that happens the more I'm ok with it.
'Grown' always felt like something worrisome before but now I think I'm realizing it's not so bad after all.

For those who don’t know (and most people don’t) . . . Bumble is a dating site. So I guess for two people who like Walt Whitman & ice cream that is a perfect date spot. Honestly, this idea just made my day ! How cute & romantic is this ? !! 💛
Take me on an ice cream date.. not that Netflix & chill crap.. something sweet & innocent where we can laugh and get to know each other!
1976 Canodate E...the "date" function goes from 1973 till 1992, guessing they thought it would not work after 1992 ;) besides the ugly date feature buttons, the rest has quite the nice design lines.
A newer minor revision of the Canodate E was released three years later in 1973. Canon refers to this as the Canodate E-N, but was just sold as the same Canodate E. This is mostly just a cosmetic change with the name plate's E in red. The date dials text with the Year in Blue, Month in Orange and Day in Red. The focusing ring is black coloured. The shutter also no longer functions when the battery is dead.
Other than the above characteristics, the camera is the same as the original Canodate E.
