Specially dedicated to the bastards that today appear in the news, some youngs of the Juventudes of PP (Politicians) that tortures the cats and take photographs smiling and showing the dead cats like trophies.
This symbolic gesture is what I say to them.

This is the east window, designed by Charles Eamer Kempe. A crucifixion scene, it has the Virgin on one side and St John on the other. It was dedicated to Rev. Alexander Fownes Luttrell, rector of the parish, who died in 1888. Irritatingly out of focus is this charming row of angels at the top.

The Cathedral Church of Saint Andrew, commonly known as Wells Cathedral, is an Anglican cathedral in Wells, Somerset. The cathedral, dedicated to St Andrew the Apostle, is the seat of the Bishop of Bath and Wells. It is the mother church of the diocese and contains the bishop's throne (cathedra). It was built between 1175 and 1490, replacing an earlier church built on the same site in 705. It is moderately sized among the medieval cathedrals of England, between those of massive proportion such as Lincoln and York and the smaller cathedrals in Oxford and Carlisle. With its broad west front and large central tower, it is the dominant feature of its small cathedral city and a landmark in the Somerset countryside. Wells has been described as "unquestionably one of the most beautiful" and as "the most poetic" of English cathedrals.
‘Char’in Bengali language means ‘four’ and ‘Bangla’ in Bengali language has been derived from Bengal.On the other side of Murshidabad across River Bhagirathi, there lies a complex in Baronagar Ajimgange, surrounded by four temples, known as Char Bangla Temple. Just before entering temple complex you will find the Bhabaniswar temple of Shiva. Char Bangla temples were built under the patronage of Rani Bhabani in the years 1755-1760. It is an example of one of the best ornamental brick work in Bengal. She came from Nator (Now in Bangladesh). Rani Bhabani was a pious lady and she was also a loyal follower of Lord Shiva. So she constructed or patronized all the temples dedicating to Lord Shiva. The temple walls are the height of examples of exquisite art work of terracotta reflecting Hindu mythological stories in a unique style of it own. The works depicts about the daily life incidents to the North side temple at the down two rows. And others are about the epics “The Ramayana” and “The Mahabharata”. It is a must heritage tour in Bengal for world tourists having interests in archeology, art and history. It is said that Rani Bhavani wanted to build 108 temples here at Baronagar on the shore of the Ganges to lift the status of this settlement to that of Varanasi. She stopped at 107, for an unknown reason [See article of Mr. Shyamal Chatterji: www.chitrolekha.com/V2/n1/08_Iconography_Temples_Baronaga...]. Its definitely a chapter of art history in Bengal.
[Terracotta, from the Latin terra cocta, is a type of earthenware, and a clay-based unglazed or glazed ceramic, where the fired body is porous. Terracotta is used as a medium in sculpture, as in the Terracotta Army and Greek terracotta figurines. Glazed architectural terracotta and its unglazed version as exterior surfaces for buildings were used in Asia for some centuries before becoming popular in the West in the 19th century. ]
MURSHIDABAD – A HISTORICAL PLACE.
Murshidabad is a city in Murshidabad district of West Bengal state in India. The city is located on the eastern bank of the Bhagirathi, a tributary of the Ganges River.
HISTORY
Murshidabad was a town and district of British India, in the Bengal Presidency. In the Mughal period it was the capital of Bengal.
In 1704, Murshid Quli Khan, the Diwan of Bengal under Aurangzeb transferred the capital from Dacca (now Dhaka inBangladesh), and renamed the city Murshidabad after his own name. In 1716, he attained the title of Nawab (ruler) of the Subah(province) of Bengal, and Murshidabad became his capital.
The family of Jagat Seth maintained their position as state bankers at Murshidabad from generation to generation. Even after the conquest of Bengal by the British, Murshidabad remained for some time the seat of administration. Warren Hastings removed the supreme civil and criminal courts to Calcutta in 1772, but in 1775 the latter courts were brought back to Murshidabad again. In 1790, under Lord Cornwallis, the entire revenue and judicial staffs were moved to Calcutta. The town was still the residence of the nawab, who ranked as the first nobleman of the province with the style of Nawab Bahadur of Murshidabad, instead of Nawab Nazim of Bengal. The Hazarduari Palace, dating back to 1837, is a magnificent building. The city still bears memories of Nawabs with other palaces, mosques, tombs, and gardens, and retains such industries as carving in ivory, gold and silver embroidery, and silk-weaving.
The city is also famous for producing exotic mango and litchi. A narrow-gauge railway crosses the district, from the East Indian line at Nalhati to Azimganj. Baharampur, the capital of Murshidabad, has grown in importance, population & size; as of 2011 it is the 7th largest city in West Bengal.
Historic places
While it features extensively in history books, the large potential for heritage tourism has been somewhat neglected. Of historic interest are Nizamat Kila (the Fortress of the Nawabs), also known as the Hazaarduari Palace (Palace of a Thousand Doors), built by Duncan McLeod of the Bengal Engineers in 1837, in the Italianate style. It was built in the nineteenth century by architect Duncan Macleod, under the reign of Nawab Nazim Humayun Jah of Bengal, Bihar and Orissa (1824–1838). William Cavendish was the then Governor-General. Now, Hazarduari Palace is the most conspicuous building in Murshidabad. In 1985, the palace was handed over to the Archaeological Survey of India for better preservation.[
The Moti Jhil(Pearl Lake) just to the south of the palace, the Muradbagh Palace and the Khushbagh Cemetery, where the remains of Ali Vardi Khan and Siraj Ud Daulah are interred.
The legacy of Siraj ud-Daulah (1733 – July 2, 1757), was the last independent Nawab of Bengal. He was Iraqi Arab by ethnicity and Shi'ite in religion. The end of his reign marked the start of British East India Company rule over Bengal and later almost all of South Asia. Siraj succeeded his maternal grandfather, Alivardi Khan as the Nawab of Bengal in April 1756 at the age of 23. Betrayed by Mir Jafar, then commander of Nawab's army, Siraj lost the Battle of Plassey on 23 June 1757. The forces of the East India Company under Robert Clive invaded and the administration of Bengal fell into the hands of the Company.
The present Nizamat Imambara was built in 1847 AD by Nawab Nazim Mansoor Ali Khan Feradun Jah. It was built after the fires of 1842 and 1846 which burnt the wooden Imambara built by Nawab Siraj ud-Daulah. This Imambara is said to be the largest one in India.
The Katra Masjid (also known as Katra Mosque) is a mosque and the tomb of Nawab Murshid Quli Khan built between 1723 and 1724. It is located in the north eastern side of the city. Its importance lies not only as a great centre of Islamic learning but also for the tomb of Murshid Quli Khan, who is buried under the entrance staircase. The most striking feature is the two large corner towers having loopholes for musketry. At present it is maintained and protected by the Archaeological Survey of India and the Government of West Bengal.
Bacchawali Tope is a gun, rather cannon which lies in the Nizamat Fort Campus on the garden space between the Nizamat Imambara and the Hazarduari Palace and to the east of the old Madina Mosque. The cannon consists two pieces of different diameters. The cannon was made between the 12th and 14th century, probably by the Mohammeddan rulers of Gaur. It originally lied on the sand banks of Ichaganj. However, it is unknown that how it came in Ichaganj. It was used to protect the city of Murshidabad from north-western attacks. After the 1846 fire of the Nizamat Imambara the Imambara was rebuilt, then after the completion of the new Imambara the cannon was shifted to its present site by Sadeq Ali Khan, the architect of the sacred Nizamat Imambara under the suggestion of Sir Henry Torrens, the then agent of the Governor General at Murshidabad.

Larroque est un petit village tarnais, de la basse vallée de la Vère, entre Bruniquel et Puycelsi. Il est situé au pied d’une falaise de calcaire.
Sa situation géographique ainsi que la présence de grottes font que les hommes se sont installés dès la préhistoire dans lieu privilégié.
De rares vestiges (outils, silex) datant du paléolithique supérieur (vers – 20 000 ans avant notre ère) y ont été trouvés au pied de la falaise.
La découverte de haches en pierre polie, de meules pour broyer le grain, de tessons de poterie, laisse supposer la présence des hommes au néolithique ( – 5 300 avant JC) à cet endroit.
Avec les hommes du néolithique, commence la sédentarisation et avec elle, le début de l’agriculture et de l’élevage.
Dans les grottes de Larroque on a trouvé de nombreux objets attestant de la présence des hommes à l’âge de bronze (-1 500 ans avant notre ère). Ceux sont des morceaux de céramique typique, de vases et des outils (poinçons, lissoirs, coins, gaines en os en bois).
Les grottes furent aussi habitées à l’âge de fer, plus précisément à la période de la Tène (- 500 avant JC), comme le prouvent les nombreux tessons de poterie relatifs à cette époque, trouvés sur le site.
On suppose que les hommes ont commencé à délaisser les grottes pour s’installer au pied de la falaise à cette époque-là.
Les premières maisons, sous forme de cabanes, ont dû être bâties aux premiers siècles de notre ère ( du 2ème au 10ème siècle).
Plus tard, autour du 13ème et 14ème siècles, on construisit de vraies maisons.
Durant cette période de guerres, les grottes servirent de refuge. Il y avait des murs défensifs devant les grottes.
On a trouvé des pièces de monnaies médiévales qui prouvent la présence des hommes durant la guerre de Cent Ans et les guerres de religions (monnaies d’Henri IV et de Louis XIII).
Lorsque les guerres furent terminées, les hommes abandonnèrent les grottes. On peut toutefois supposer qu’elles servirent de refuge durant la Terreur.
La commune de Larroque a été créée aux dépens de Puycelsi, en 1791, à partir des paroisses de Saint Nazaire, de Larroque, Saint Martin d’Urbens et Notre Dame des Mespel (ou du Désert).
L’église romane est dédiée à Saint Nazaire.
Ne ratez pas le château de la Vère, ancien relais de chasse du 18ème siècle.
Larroque est un très beau village, et il fait bon se prommener dans ses ruelles dont les maisons ont été restaurées avec goût
Larroque is a small village in theTarn, in the lower valley of the Vère between Bruniquel and Puycelsi. It is located at the foot of a limestone cliff.
Its geographical location and the presence of caves where men have settled since prehistoric times in a privileged place.
Rare remnants (tools, flint) dating from the Upper Palaeolithic (toward - 20,000 years ago) were found at the foot of the cliff.
The discovery of polished stone axes, mills for grinding grain, pottery shards, suggesting the presence of Neolithic men (- 5300 BC) at this location.
With Neolithic man begins the settlement and with it the beginning of agriculture and livestock.
In the caves of Larroque were found many objects testifying to the presence of men in the Bronze Age (1500 BCE). Those are pieces of typical pottery, vases and tools (punches, polishers, corners, wooden bone ducts).
The caves were also inhabited in the Iron Age, specifically the period of the Tène (- 500 BC), as evidenced by the many pottery shards found at the site.
It is assumed that men began to abandon the caves and moved to the foot of the cliff at that time.
The first houses in the form of huts had to be built in the first centuries of our era (from 2nd to 10th century).
Later, around the 13th and 14th centuries real houses were built.
During the time of war, the caves served as refuge. There were defensive walls to the caves.
Were found pieces of medieval coins that prove the presence of men during the Hundred Years War and the wars of religion (coins of Henry IV and Louis XIII).
When the wars were over, man abandoned the caves. It can be assumed that they served as a refuge during the Terror.
The town of Larroque was created at the expense of Puycelsi in 1791 from the parishes of Saint Nazaire, Larroque, Saint Martin and Our Lady of Urbens Mespel (or Desert).
The Romanesque church is dedicated to St Nazaire.
Do not miss the castle of Vere, a former 18th century hunting lodge.
Larroque is a beautiful village, and it is good to walk through its streets whose houses have been tastefully restored
Thank you all for your visits & comments , they are much appreciated

AGIOS GEORGIOS, NORTHERN EVIA.
The island of Evia lies along the Eastern coast of Central Greece, and is accessible to the mainland via two bridges, an old wooden bridge and a contemporary suspension bridge. There are also frequent ferries to several parts of the island. It is 175 km long and is the second largest island in Greece, and the third largest in the Eastern Mediterranean.

ENGLISH:
The Black Diamond (Danish: Den Sorte Diamant) is a modern waterfront extension to the Royal Danish Library's old building on Slotsholmen in central Copenhagen, Denmark. Its quasi-official nickname is a reference to its polished black granite cladding and irregular angles. Designed by Danish architects Schmidt Hammer Lassen, the Black Diamond was completed in 1999 as the first in a series of large-scale cultural buildings along Copenhagen's waterfront.
Apart from its function as a library, the building houses a number of other public facilities and activities, most of which are located around the central, toplit atrium which cuts into the building with a huge glazed front facing the harbour. The facilities include a 600-seat auditorium, the Queen's Hall, used for concerts—mainly chamber music and jazz—literary events, theatrical performances and conferences. There are also exhibition spaces, a bookshop, a restaurant, a café and a roof terrace. Two museums are based in the Black Diamond, the National Museum of Photography and a small museum dedicated to cartoon art.

ESPAÑOL:
el Diamante Negro (Den Sorte Diamant). El nuevo edificio fue diseñado por los arquitectos daneses Schmidt Hammer Lassen. Llamado así por su cubierta exterior de mármol negro y cristal, alberga una sala de conciertos, además de la biblioteca. Está formado por dos cubos negros, ligeramente inclinados sobre la calle y, entre ambos, un atrio de ocho plantas cuyas paredes son de color blanco y en forma de onda, con un par de corredores transversales que unen ambos lados, y balcones en todas las plantas. La fachada exterior del atrio es de cristal, así que se puede ver el mar y, en la otra orilla, los edificios de lujo de Christianshavn. Tres puentes conectan el Diamante Negro con la antigua Biblioteca Real: en el techo del mayor de ellos hay una gran pintura del pintor danés Per Kirkeby.

When I visited my daughter on March 20 2011, my grandson, Aidan, was telling me about this bird with babies. I was excited and asked him to show me. He took me outside his home and pointed up - "there they are".
Wow - I saw how cute they were and grab my cam from the car.
Thank you Aidan!
Update: May10 2012
This pic is sold to Nat Geo for their coming book. Proceeds is going to charity.
The lady who bought the pic had a hard time tracking me down becos the person who downloaded this pic from my Flickr account without my knowledge, plastered this all over the internet and change my name from Ric Seet to Rik Seet. So no one can track the originator down. Now others are profiteering from this scam and here is the link to one such websites. You pay them to download my stolen pic:
pixdaus.com/under-her-wings-by-rik-seet-birds-aves-fauna-...
When I did a Rik Seet goggle search there are about 4 full pages of links to such websites !
www.google.com.sg/search?q=Rik Seet&ie=utf-8&oe=u...
This is one of the downside of the internet. To prevent such future mishaps, I have since disabled the download feature under Privacy & Settings. Base on the feedback this is not even safe. Additional advises is to add Watermarks and reduce file size to 800X800. From what I am hearing nothing is save on the net.
Thank you friends for your kind advise. .
Update: May13 2012
I managed to write to a few websites/blogs via email and FB.
1. A friend responded on FB and apologize for posting the pic on FB for Mother Day.
2. An Australian cyclist by the name of Craig plaster the pic for 2012 Mother Day. I wrote to inform him that the pic is my and he blocked me off immi'ly. Isn't that just great, steals your pic and ignores you!
3. What's even more interesting is Pixdaus.com has an option for you to complain if your are the owner of the intellectual property. Isn't this a laugh. I presume they believe they excuse themselves of any legal obligation in the eyes of the law by having this feature on their website! I have written to them and waiting for their reply.
Update June 1 2012
Today a caring Flickr friend brought to my attention that the above pic was stolen again and this pic was posted on Flickr. Wrote to the person to delete my picture which was done. Not a word of apology.
These people have no shame - steal other pictures and post it like theirs. Even took part in invites and participated at the various levels of award to claim credit for themselves.
here is the link if this shameful person and I have seen another couple of stolen pics as well becos they are too skillful for him. Even wrote to advise that these be remove. I am contacting the legal department of Yahoo in Singapore and making a few suggesting to them to apprehend such people.

Since then more Flickr friends have alerted me. I am now no more angry becos I have learnt to share and come to realized this picture brings great memories & joy to others. One guy wrote to request for a print becos he wanted to place it next to his Bible.
He said that it is "God's Gift To Nature"
Update June 4 2012
Great to see that couple of my Flickr friends have added water mark to their pic. Very creative as they take the trouble to strategically position the watermark . I will borrow this idea. Thanks guys!
Update Dec 17 2012
Nat Geo is now printing double the number of copies and has agreed to denote US$300/ to charity of my grandson choice - SPCA. Thank you Nat Geo.
Update Dec 25 2012
Today I received a very touching letter from a mother who requested this print. I am glad that a picture is worth a thousand words and holds special meaning and brings great joy.
So if you need a print please drop me a Flickr mail and your mailing address. Thank you.
My heart goes out to this special lady and this picture is my gift to her. Some of you are aware that my daughter was critically ill. In her own works she told me she nearly died in Oct. Now I rejoice becos she is making slow recovery ----. A small step at a time!
Hi Ric,
I have been searching for the photographer who took the absolutely beautiful photo of the colorful momma bird with it's babies under its wings. I've actually been praying I would find the original photographer. I won't get into the details, but for the last almost 2 years, I've been going through a really hard time with my health due to a horrible medical mistake that I suffered at the hands of a doctor. I will not let anyone tell me I am not going to get better. My husband and my son need me back. This picture holds such meaning for me...I've found it on other websites, which I am so sorry that people are stealing your work, and I have gone back to look at it a lot over the last several months. It brings me great comfort and the colors are just so beautiful and bright. I was wondering if it would be possible to buy a large print of it from you so that I can frame it and have it matted with a verse so I can look at it every day in my house. Would you mind letting me know if it's possible to buy a print from you? If so, what are the size proportions that you could print out for me? The place I want to hang it could handle an overall size of 24"x24" or 24"x28", which would be framed and matted with an inscription matted under it. Hopefully that description makes sense. Would you mind contacting back?
Update April 11 2016
Today i received a very comforting email from this lady and I thank her for helping mereach out to others who may need this pic becos of the sentimental/special meaning this pic means to them. For me this pic means a world to me bcos I am a dad to two precious daughters that I love dearly. No matter what -- I will always be there for them as long as I am on this good earth.
Hi Ric,
I must confess I posted your beautiful picture of the bird shielding her babies under her wings on a tweet and my FB page. I didn't take it from Flickr, I (wrongly) assumed it was in the public domain. Would you like me to remove it or would it be mutually agreeable to post a link to you for your credit and publicity? I am a solicitor working from home writing wills and trusts, hence the family theme, I have not tried to profit directly from the photo, just thought it was a nice image of caring. Sorry.
Kind regards,
Elizabeth
Thank you Elizabeth. There are lots of caring people on this good earth.

The Acheron is a river located in the Epirus region of northwest Greece.
Plato in his Phaedo identified Acheron as the second greatest river in the world, excelled only by Oceanus.
In ancient Greek mythology, Acheron was known as the river of pain, and was one of the five rivers of the Greek underworld.

If you haven't been to Stavanger's Efendi tea and coffee house in Norway, then you haven't been to one of the world's best places with the most dedicated owner! I loved the soup, the pasta, the coffee and the cold tea!
Imagine that you were able to look into people's eyes and see their past. Would you want to see mine? Forgetting is a blessing from God, or otherwise we would all have looked 100 years old by the time we reach 30 lol. No that is not a fact! I am thankful to God and only God for the people he had brought into my life and sent to me for aid. We should all know that no matter what happens in life, it is God's will for he has made a plan for each and every one of us. Even if we go through rough and hard times, it is the path that God has put for us to follow, to become wise, learn, and be strong.
Don't look back to your past and endure pain, but learn from it and be strong, let it flow. For if it didn't happen, we won't be who and where we are right now.
Dedicated to all my dear flickr members.
P.S: Those are NOT contact lenses!
