Dedicated to Michael Hill. Just to let him know that we, here in Zaragoza, Spain, don't have an Ontario Lake. Not even a Keefer Lake. But we have an artificial beach! :-D :-)

Wage takes pictures day or night! I can't find his shots from this day, but if I do, I will post them here. :)
Norwich Cathedral
Norwich Cathedral is dedicated to The Holy and Undivided Trinity. Work began in 1096. The Cathedral was constructed with flint and mortar then faced with Caen limestone. Two churches plus a settlement were cleared to make room for the building. The work was completed in 1145. Originally there was a wooden spire, this was replaced in 1480, since then there have been no major alterations.
The Cloisters are the second largest in the country, Salisbury being the largest. In the large cloister there are over 1,000 bosses of many different materials, painted and unpainted. The large cloister was started in 1297 and completed in 1420 after the Black Death had raged the city.
The Spire is also the second highest in England, measuring 315ft. The spire was replaced in 1463 when lightning struck and caused the building to set fire.
Like many churches in England it has had a chequered history. The cathedral was damaged in riots in 1272, resulting in The City paying very heavy fines (In the reign of Henry III). In 1643 a Puritan mob destroyed all the Roman Catholic symbols. The building was then abandoned for two decades and was the site for many misuses, one of them a Musketeers ale house. In the reign of Charles II (1660) the work of restoration began.
Within the church there are many famous people buried there, Nurse Edith Cavell for me, being the most notable.
*Dedicated to the love of my life* like all of my pictures my Sirenia.
Thanks my one and only Sirenia for the titles :)
Dedicated to grandma Eleanor (Eleanor WHU - www.flickr.com/photos/elcog2010/) who bears a grand name, that of Eleanor of Aquitaine and is a very gentle lady who loves London's Parks, that is Saint James Park, Kensington Gardens and Holland Park.
Pensive, though a pure product of the French educational system, is very fond of English history! Eleanor is a tantalizing name for him, as Eleanor of Aquitaine was spouse to Henry II Plantagenet. A House that ended with the Wars of the Roses, a series of dynastic wars fought between supporters of two rival branches of the royal House of Plantagenet: the houses of Lancaster and York for the throne of England. Many memories!

The Menin Gate Memorial to the ‘Missing’ is a war memorial in Ypres, Belgium dedicated to the commemoration of British and Commonwealth soldiers who were killed in the Ypres Salient of World War I and whose graves are unknown.
It is a place where you become still... the sadness AND madness hits me each time...
Another big, unanswered WHY...what was it all for?
"All Wars Arise For The Possession Of Wealth" (Plato)
Following the Menin Gate Memorial opening in 1927, the citizens of Ypres wanted to express their gratitude towards those who had given their lives for Belgium's freedom. As such, every evening at 20:00, buglers from the local fire brigade close the road which passes under the Memorial and sound the Last Post. Except for the occupation by the Germans in World War II when the daily ceremony was conducted at Brookwood Military Cemetery, in Surrey, England, this ceremony has been carried on uninterrupted since 2 July 1928. On the very evening that Polish forces liberated Ypres in the Second World War, the ceremony was resumed at the Menin Gate despite the fact that heavy fighting was still taking place in other parts of the town.
The ceremony is a solemn occasion.. it cannot leave you untouched! The echo bouncing off the thousands of names, all young men, who had no life, they gave it for us... so that we could have today our biggest treasure, FREEDOM! Let's not forget.
Reginald Blomfield's triumphal arch, designed in 1921, is the entry to the barrel-vaulted passage for traffic through the mausoleum that honours the Missing, who have no known graves. The patient lion on the top is the lion of Britain but also the lion of Flanders. It was chosen to be a memorial as it was the closest gate of the town to the fighting, and so Allied Troops would have marched past it on their way to fight. Actually, most troops passed out of the other gates of Ypres, as the Menin Gate was too dangerous due to shellfire.
Its large Hall of Memory contains names on stone panels of 54,896 Commonwealth soldiers who died in the Salient but whose bodies have never been identified or found. On completion of the memorial, it was discovered to be too small to contain all the names as originally planned. An arbitrary cut-off point of 15 August 1917 was chosen and the names of 34,984 UK missing after this date were inscribed on the Tyne Cot Memorial to the Missing instead.
The Menin Gate Memorial does not list the names of the missing of New Zealand and Newfoundland soldiers, who are instead honoured on separate memorials.
People are still coming from all over the world every day, to look for and honour the names of long lost relatives, just to see the engraved name and try and stick a poppy next, just to say: you are not forgotten...
I thank you, Magda.

Dedicated to those hurt/killed by a falling tree while hiking the waterfall trail in Corcovado National Park on December 12 2022
We parted ways this past Wednesday (6/19/2019) after I crashed into a telephone pole close to home in S. Chatham, MA at 40 mph. What we had experienced together over the past 7 years was absolutely amazing; wild rides, wild days, wild nights through New England, New York, Quebec and Pennsylvania. No regrets.
Dedicated to ~*Brenda*~ (www.flickr.com/photos/--brenda--/) as she might like these deep colors!

To all those in my past that I managed to really ‘piss off’ without even trying and were glad to see the back end of me.
If only they could see me now.

[Soundtrack: Fabrizio De Andrè - Anime Salve]
Mille anni al mondo mille ancora
che bell'inganno sei anima mia
e che bello il mio tempo che bella compagnia
sono giorni di finestre adornate
canti di stagione
anime salve in terra e in mare
sono state giornate furibonde
senza atti d'amore
senza calma di vento
solo passaggi e passaggi
passaggi di tempo
ore infinite come costellazioni e onde
spietate come gli occhi della memoria
altra memoria e no basta ancora
cose svanite facce e poi il futuro
i futuri incontri di belle amanti scellerate
saranno scontri
saranno cacce coi cani e coi cinghiali
saranno rincorse morsi e affanni per mille anni
mille anni al mondo mille ancora
che bell'inganno sei anima mia
e che grande il mio tempo che bella compagnia
mi sono spiato illudermi e fallire
abortire i figli come i sogni
mi sono guardato piangere in uno specchio di neve
mi sono visto che ridevo
mi sono visto di spalle che partivo
ti saluto dai paesi di domani
che sono visioni di anime contadine
in volo per il mondo
mille anni al mondo mille ancora
che bell'inganno sei anima mia
e che grande questo tempo che solitudine
che bella compagnia

dedicated to my flickr friend, AnotherSaru in appreciation of the nice testimonial. Please visit his wonderful photostream.
This piece is dedicated in loving memory to my little cousin Brian Dodge and life long friend Tim Lianos. Both passed long before their time and within a month of one another. My cousin Brian loved lego and had more than anyone I’ve ever known. He gave it all to me about ten years ago and is and forever will be a part of everything I build. My friend Tim was a master mechanic, loved cars and would have fun pointing out the parts on my cars. I would always say to him “that’s why I did it like that” when in reality I was getting a lesson on what I was trying to emulate. I started this project the day after he died, still mourning the loss of my cousin. Gone but NEVER forgotten, may their memory live on in this piece as it helped me through the madness of loss and is in every way a reflection of just that.
On a brighter note: This piece also pays homage to Manuel Nascimento’s Rat Rod. His fully functional RC version still blows my mind. A perfect balance between form and function. It will always be a true work of art to me.
My vision for this car is that of a very modern and highly polished looking vehicle thus making it a Hot Rod and not a Rat Rod. It features fully functional steering to the wheel (not HOD) and realistic rotors and calipers that are double sided, functional (as far as wheel spin) and even have Lego brake pads. The calipers themselves where something I had built years ago and have been trying to develop in a practical application ever since. Thank you for taking the time to read this as it means a lot to me. I hope you enjoy!
Dedicated to Saint Peter and located on the path to Compostela (and therefore a UNESCO World Heritage site), the Benedictine abbey of Moissac was founded in the 700s. According to legend, it was founded even earlier, in 506, by the freshly converted Clovis, King of the Franks, but there is no historical evidence that this ever happened. Affiliated to Cluny from 1047, it became the most powerful monastery of southwestern France and numbered over 1,000 monks —most likely including lay brothers, though.
There is so much to say about the abbey of Moissac that I will, for the most part, refer my readers to the many lengthy internet pages that describe it, not to mention of course the Quercy roman book by Zodiaque. The most famous parts are the stunning tympanum, the iconic statue of Saint Jeremy and the Year 1100 cloister with its 7- capitals, most of them historied. All of those are masterpieces fo Romanesque art and known worldwide.
The abbey was on the very first list of Historic Landmarks in 1840. It is an absolute must-see for all people interested in the Middle Ages, and we will devote quite a few days to its visit.
Another one of the middle pillar I already showed. This one is adorned on the garden side by a low-relief depiction of Saint Simeon.
