🌷thank you for all visits, comments, favs - have a good start to the week and HMM!🌷
I live in a region with a very mild climate (figs, almond trees often bloom from the end of February). Our roses bloom until December, sometimes even January. The hoarfrost a few days ago decorated it bizarrely. But now these flowers have withered, there are still new buds.

Took this shot early in the morning last week, of the latest snowfall in my back garden, that painted everything white! It looked so pretty, but melted quickly!
You wouldn't think vegetation could thrive like this in such a hostile terrain, but somehow it does!

She'd say, "oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I know the sun must set to rise"

Esztergom was the capital of Hungary from the 10th till the mid-13th century when King Béla IV of Hungary moved the royal seat to Buda. During the same period, the castle of Esztergom was built on the site of ancient Roman castrum. It served not only as the royal residence until the 1241 (the Mongol invasion), but also as the center of the Hungarian state, religion, and Esztergom county.
After changing his residence to Budapest, Béla IV gave the palace and castle to the archbishop. Following these events, the castle was built and decorated by the bishops. The center of the king’s town, which was surrounded by walls, was still under royal authority. A number of different monasteries did return or settle in the religious center.
Meanwhile, the citizenry had been fighting to maintain and reclaim the rights of towns against the expansion of the church within the royal town. In the chaotic years after the fall of the House of Árpád, Esztergom suffered another calamity: in 1304, the forces of Wenceslaus II, the Czech king occupied and raided the castle. In the years to come, the castle was owned by several individuals: Róbert Károly and then Louis the Great patronized the town.
The Ottoman conquest of Mohács in 1526 brought a decline to the previously flourishing Esztergom as well. In the Battle of Mohács, the archbishop of Esztergom died. In the period between 1526 and 1543, when two rival kings reigned in Hungary, Esztergom was besieged six times. At times it was the forces of Ferdinand I or John Zápolya, at other times the Ottomans attacked. Finally, in 1530, Ferdinand I occupied the castle. He put foreign mercenaries in the castle, and sent the chapter and the bishopric to Nagyszombat and Pozsony.
However, in 1543 Sultan Suleiman I attacked the castle and took it. Esztergom became the centre of an Ottoman sanjak controlling several counties, and also a significant castle on the northwest border of the Ottoman Empire. In the 17th century Esztergom was besieged and conquered several times during the Ottoman-Habsburg Wars. Most of the buildings in the castle and the town that had been built in the Middle Ages were destroyed during this period, and there were only uninhabitable, smothered ruins to welcome the liberators.
In 1761 the bishopric regained control over the castle, where they started the preliminary processes of the reconstruction of the new religious center: the middle of the Várhegy (Castle Hill), the remains of Saint Stephen and Saint Adalbert churches were carried away to provide room for the new cathedral.
I've used up the boring titles on the previous mountain photographs so decided to go with something more imaginative. Unable to think of a good word to complete the alliteration "dusk draped d...." I decided to think out of the box. Hope you like the photo and choice to title.

This picture I captured in a restaurant at Dale Chihuly Garden and Glass Museum in Seattle, Washington. USA. The ceiling of the restaurant was decorated with the artist's personal collections of piano accordions and the wall with his abstract paintings!
I saw how Mother Nature had decorated this fence post while out driving and had to turn around and go back for the photo! There were a couple of miles of this black board fence lining the road, but only this one post was decorated. :)
Amsterdam - Jan Luijken straat.
Architect: L. Kok, Year: 1902.
The Jan Luijkenstraat is said to be one of the most beautiful streets of Amsterdam. The buildings on- and around the Jan Luijkenstraat were all built around 1900, the same time art nouveau was flourishing in Europe. This is why it’s also home to the city's richest variety of art nouveau decorated front doors.

York Minster, formally the Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Saint Peter in York, is an Anglican cathedral in the city of York, North Yorkshire, England. The minster is the seat of the archbishop of York, the second-highest office of the Church of England, and is the mother church for the diocese of York and the province of York. It is administered by its dean and chapter. The minster is a Grade I listed building and a scheduled monument.
The first record of a church on the site dates to 627; the title "minster" also dates to the Anglo-Saxon period, originally denoting a missionary teaching church and now an honorific. The minster undercroft contains re-used fabric of c. 1160, but the bulk of the building was constructed between 1220 and 1472. It consists of Early English Gothic north and south transepts, a Decorated Gothic nave and chapter house, and a Perpendicular Gothic eastern arm and central tower.
The minster retains most of its medieval stained glass, a significant survival among European churches. The east window, which depicts the Last Judgment, is the largest expanse of medieval stained glass in the world. The north transept contains the Five Sisters window, which consists of five lancets, each over 53 feet (16.3 m) high, filled with grisaille glass.

Construction of a mosque done in the shortest time (four months) in 2007 on the initiative of President Islam Karimov. The mosque itself is a unique symbol of Tashkent architectural style: at the entrance to the mosque there is a terrace with twenty-carved columns of sandalwood. The mosque also has two large blue domes, the interior of which is decorated with gold leaf as in madrassah Tillakari in Samarkand.
Window openings of domes are designed so that the sun’s rays continuously penetrate inside the mosque from sunrise to sunset. At the entrance to the mosque there are erected two minarets of 53 meters in height.
This is the ceiling of the Choir of the Cathedral Church of Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary, Chester.
The choir was built between 1283 and 1315 to the design of Richard Lenginour and is an early example of Decorated Gothic architecture.
Ik denk dat dit de meest ondergewaardeerde bloem is. Ze is prachtig van kleur en vorm en ook nog veelzijdig, want alles aan de plant is eetbaar. De sla kun je versieren met de bloemblaadjes en het blad past in stoofschotels, salades of pesto. Zelfs de wortels kun je thee van trekken.
Ik heb de bloem daarom in het mooiste weer gefotografeerd in de ochtenddauw.
I think this is the most underrated flower. It has a beautiful color and shape and is also versatile, because everything on the plant is edible. You can decorate the lettuce with the petals and the leaves fit into stews, salads or pesto. You can even make tea from the roots.
So I pictured this flower in the most beautiful weather with a little dew.
Thanks for taking time to comment, fave and look at my work. I really appreciate.
