Saint Isaac's Cathedral or Isaakievskiy Sobor is a large architectural landmark cathedral that currently functions as a museum with occasional church services in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It is dedicated to Saint Isaac of Dalmatia, a patron saint of Peter the Great, who had been born on the feast day of that saint. It was originally built as a cathedral but was turned into a museum by the Soviet government in 1931 and has remained a museum ever since. In 2017, the Governor of Saint Petersburg offered to transfer the cathedral back to the Russian Orthodox Church, but this was not accomplished due to the protests of St Petersburg citizens opposing the offer.
The neoclassical exterior expresses the traditional Russian-Byzantine formula of a Greek-cross ground plan with a large central dome and four subsidiary domes. It is similar to Andrea Palladio's Villa Capra "La Rotonda", with a full dome on a high drum substituted for the Villa's low central saucer dome. The design of the cathedral in general and the dome in particular later influenced the design of the United States Capitol dome, Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison, Wisconsin, and the Lutheran Cathedral in Helsinki.
The exterior is faced with gray and pink stone, and features a total of 112 red granite columns with Corinthian capitals, each hewn and erected as a single block: 48 at ground level, 24 on the rotunda of the uppermost dome, 8 on each of four side domes, and 2 framing each of four windows. The rotunda is encircled by a walkway accessible to tourists. 24 statues stand on the roof, and another 24 on top of the rotunda.

Consolidated B-24-H Liberator 41-29418 was originally named as ‘Turnip Termite.’ Its original nose art was painted by Clayton Hutsell at the 486th. Bomb Group at USAAF Station 174 Sudbury in Suffolk, but the aircraft was transferred to USAAF Station 115 Shipdham in Norfolk before he could put the name of 'Turnip Termite' on it. It was renamed 'Pappy’s Chillun' at the 44th. Bomb Group.
41-29418, coded QK -?, crashed on the 21st. April 1944 with the loss of all crew except the pilot and co-pilot. The main body of the wreckage still lies in the lake at Taverham Mills.
The aircraft was on its way on a bombing mission to the German town of Zwickau. During assembly, five miles northwest of Norwich, and one mile northeast of Ringland Hills, the aircraft was climbing into formation, traveling at 155 to 160 mph through overcast, in severe icing conditions. When it reached 14,000 feet, the aircraft lurched violently and started swerving to the right. The pilots had no control over the aircraft as it swerved back to the left, and then started to spin tightly toward the ground. The plane then turned onto its back and the right-wing and tail were torn off by the violent manoeuvres. The two pilots were thrown into the top of the cockpit, and when the cabin ripped apart, they were thrown clear of the wreckage.
No definite statement can be made as to the cause of the accident, but it was the opinion of the investigating board that the airplane picked up too much ice, was forced into a stall, and from there into a spin when it fell apart. The aircraft was heavily loaded with eight 1,000 lb. bombs and 2,700 gallons of fuel. Another aircraft, flown by Lt. Dine of 506th. Bomb Squadron, experienced the same icing conditions. It went into a spin, but the pilots finally managed to recover control at 4,000 feet.
The two survivors from this accident, 2nd. Lieutenant's Havens and Del Grande were taken to the hospital immediately. Havens suffered severe injuries when he landed in a tree, fractured his left ankle, and his spine. He spent some time at the 231st. Hospital. He did not return to the 44th. Bomb Group. Del Grande seriously injured his ankle when he landed. He flew no more missions for the 44th. Bomb Group and was transferred to the 70th. RCD on 10th. December 1944, for transfer back to the United States. However, it appears that Del Grande recovered and was transferred to the 93rd. Bomb Group, where he completed his tour with them.
On 21st. April 2001, 57 years after the crash, this memorial was dedicated at Taverham Mill.

When I moved into my house over 20 years ago, one of the first things I did was contact the city about having a memorial bench installed in the park, close by in honour of my mom. It was the first one designated in the park. It is about 100 metres from my front door...I spend a lot of time sitting there taking in the wonderful view of the lake, the park and the mountains from the top of the hill.
"After years of dedicated effort and countless hours in the warmth of the bread oven, the "bakers guild" is now basking in a golden age. Their culinary creations have become renowned across the region for their exquisite flavors, embodying the deep-seated love for baking that defines each baker's essence.
Every sunrise marks the beginning of the bakers' daily rituals, as they skillfully knead the dough and meticulously craft each baked delicacy to perfection. Currently, the guild stands as the most esteemed bakery in the area, with their offerings deemed essential at every town event.

The Church of St Lawrence
The small vilage of Snarford is located just off the A46 between Lincoln and Market Rasen in the district of West Lindsey and the ancient wapentake of Lawress.
The village was the home of the St Paul family and a large mansion once stood close to the church.
The church is dedicated to St Lawrence and dated back to the 12th century, the church is small but has a large chancel that contains several grand early 17th century monuments to the St Paul family. The church today is redundant and in the care of the churches conservation trust.

The main parish church of the village is dedicated to the holy apostles James and Philip. The foundation of the church probably dates back to the Middle Ages, since it is already listed in the Liber Notitiae Sanctorum Mediolanensis by Goffredo da Bussero as submitted to the Pieve di Nerviano, passing however in 1602 to that of Rho.
The church was completely rebuilt in the mid-nineteenth century, and has remained unchanged over time in forms that can still be seen today: the façade is distinguished by a small colonnade, with an elevated and elegant tympanum surmounted by two statues of angels .
The bell tower of the church has 5 bells, fused by the Barigozzi foundry of Milan in 1901. The bronzes are mounted in the classic Ambrosian system of bell sound and are tuned into Si2 Maggiore..
--------------------------
La chiesa parrocchiale principale del paese, è dedicata ai santi apostoli Giacomo e Filippo. La fondazione della chiesa risale probabilmente all'epoca medioevale, dal momento che già risulta elencata nel Liber Notitiae Sanctorum Mediolanensis di Goffredo da Bussero come sottoposta alla Pieve di Nerviano, passando però nel 1602 a quella di Rho.
La chiesa venne completamente ricostruita alla metà dell'Ottocento, ed è rimasta immutata nel corso del tempo nelle forme che ancora oggi si possono ammirare: la facciata è distinta da un piccolo colonnato, con un timpano sopraelevato ed elegante, sormontato da due statue di angeli.
Il campanile della chiesa possiede 5 campane, fuse dalla fonderia Barigozzi di Milano nel 1901. I bronzi sono montati nel classico sistema ambrosiano di suono delle campane e sono intonati in Si2 Maggiore.
The present sanctuary was dedicated in 1887 after being located in four other locations around downtown Macon. The Sanctuary contains many interested Christian symbols to enhance our worship. Among them: the presence of the trefoil (a symbol of the Trinity); the presence of the quatrefoil (a traditional Christian symbol of 4 overlapping circles); a beautiful stained-glass rose window; and 12 beautiful stained-glass windows depicting the life of Jesus. Also of architectural note, the inside of the sanctuary roof is shaped like an upside-down ship’s hull, using the traditional Christian symbol of a boat to reflect that safety and sanctuary can be found in this holy space.
Beneath the sanctuary is the Great Room, a smaller gathering place and home to the Faithful Followers Sunday School Department. It was christened “The Great Room” in 2004, after a renovation, in appreciation of “The Greatest Generation,” the older members of FBCX who given their time, resources, and talents through the years to make First Baptist a place of worship, discipleship, missions and fellowship.

Dedicated to a wonderful friend who brought me to this point where i could take some beautiful pictures of this magical city. I have a very strong and unending desire to visit this living city again and again.
The stare I got was so intense and almost felt hypnotic..
The red squirrel has been a native in the UK for several thousand years, whereas the first greys were brought here from North America in 1876. Over the years more were introduced, notably by the Duke of Bedford to the park at Woburn Abbey where they thrived.
Undoubtedly, the grey squirrel has adapted well to our countryside and towns; some would say at the expense of the red squirrel, which is only partly true. Certainly direct conflict between the two species seems to be unheard of.
It is not so much a case of the grey squirrel driving out the red, but more a case of being better equipped and more adaptable. A major factor is the ability to survive tough winters due to the fact that greys generally carry more body fat. Although the size difference between the two types of squirrel is not dramatic, a full-grown grey can weigh almost twice as much as a red. Grey squirrels are also more adventurous and happier foraging on the ground, whereas red squirrels spend most of their lives high up in conifer trees, and their diet is less varied, although both species are generally vegetarian.
Grey squirrels are still often regarded as vermin, compared to their popular cousins though. In the 1920s and 1930s, grey squirrels were beginning to cause significant damage to commercial forestry; in particular to beech trees. A law was passed in 1938 banning further importation of these creatures, and in following years various methods were tried without success to control grey squirrels. Many people still call them ‘tree rats’, but they are here to stay and give much pleasure, especially in urban parks and gardens where they become
Huge colonies of the red squirrel population were wiped out between 1900-1920 by the parapox virus, which is similar to myxomatosis in rabbits. Not only that, but red squirrels were hunted right up until 1927. In fact there was even a Highland Squirrel Club dedicated to this ‘sport’! Hunting, disease and changes in the management of forestry all contributed to the population being drastically reduced, from which it has never recovered. Man should accept the blame for his part in their demise.
Grey squirrels are playful, curious and agile animals, and living proof that man can’t always assert his will on nature with poison and guns. Farmers and foresters have learned to live with the grey squirrels and are beginning to manage forests to encourage red squirrels, particularly in the north-west of England.

Trani Cathedral (Italian: Cattedrale di Trani; Cattedrale di San Nicola Pellegrino) is a Roman Catholic cathedral dedicated to Saint Nicholas the Pilgrim in Trani, Apulia, Italy. Formerly the seat of the archbishop of Trani, it is now that of the archbishop of Trani-Barletta-Bisceglie.
It is a great example of Apulian Romanesque architecture. Construction began in 1099, over the earlier church of Santa Maria della Scala, going back to the 4th century. The relics of Saint Leucius were kept here until the 8th century, when they were translated to Brindisi. The new church was intended to house the relics of Saint Nicholas the Pilgrim (who died in Trani in 1094). The cathedral was dedicated as soon as they were installed, without waiting for the building to be completed.
The decisive stage of construction probably took place between about 1159 and 1186 under the leadership of Bishop Bertrando II, and the building was complete by about 1200, except for the bell tower.
It was built using the local stone of Trani, a typical building stone of the region: a calcareous tuff, obtained from the caves of the city, characterised by its colour, an extremely light pink, almost white.
The cathedral is distinguished by its showy transept and by its use of the high pointed arch in the passage beneath the bell tower, which is unusual in Romanesque architecture.

Tōshō-gū is dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate. It was initially built in 1617, during the Edo period, while Ieyasu's son Hidetada was shōgun. It was enlarged during the time of the third shōgun, Iemitsu. Ieyasu is enshrined there, where his remains are also entombed. This shrine was built by Tokugawa retainer Tōdō Takatora.
The shrine is an UNESCO world heritage site.
