Now folks, I have traveled to many beautiful places in many countries. In my down time, I often get to put on my artist hat. It is my view that western Norway is without question one of the most beautiful regions of Europe and believe me, there are some gorgeous spots like The Cottwold’s (England), Snowdonia National Park (Wales), Provence (France), the Dalmatian coast (Croatia), Bavaria (Germany and Austria), Tuscany (Italy) and on and on it goes. Yet, western Norway offers a breathtaking image at every turn of the head.
I dedicate this painting to my friend Gunnar who I have known for more than twenty years and been to visit him a number of times. No one is more Norwegian than Gunnar. He loves his country and region so I had no better host or guide.
Thanks, Gunnar... you took me to gorgeous bend in the river.
Dedicated to my dear friend Lindsay. <3
I finally had the chance to see Rich Aucoin play again in Vancouver. He is absolutely brilliant. There are no words. I just find him so inspiring and positive and damn he puts on a show.
The last time I saw him, he put his heart into a one man show for no more than 10 people at the Railway Club. I could not believe the effort that went into that show. (And I don't care, I still love the "beta version" of "Brian Wilson is A.L.i.V.E." with the not so refined bass synth.) Now he's back after touring with Girl Talk and now that I think about it, Rich Aucoin combined with Girl Talk would just make the world implode with their party tricks.
Rich came armed with silly string, glow sticks, confetti, balloons, a projection screen and even a freaking rainbow parachute that you used to do group activities with in pre-school! I haven't seen one of those since... WELL PRE-SCHOOL. His videos had just about every single YouTube gag that you could think of from the goat that yells like a man to the double rainbow guy to the energy drink commercial. And before you think that these gimmicks overrun his music, you're so wrong. He has come back with a few new tracks from the upcoming record as well as playing some of the older tracks.
There was one part that really struck me - "when you give it all up, you get it back". That is one of the most endearing things I've heard in a long time. In a time of cynics, hearing someone that delivers a blip of hope is so refreshing.
My only complaint is that his set wasn't long enough but hey I am a little biased now. :)
Extremely recommended. I would go as far to say that Rich Aucoin is one of my personal Top 5 Musical Acts to come out of Canada. Seriously.
The ancient city owes its name to the most important Macedonian sanctuary dedicated to Zeus (Dios, "of Zeus"), leader of the gods who dwelt on Mount Olympus; as recorded by Hesiod's Catalogue of Women, Thyia, daughter of Deucalion, bore Zeus two sons, Magnes and Makednos, eponyms of Magnetes and Macedonians, who dwelt in Pieria at the foot of Mount Olympus.[4] Hence from very ancient times, a large altar had been set up for the worship of Olympian Zeus and his daughters, the Muses, in a unique environment characterised by rich vegetation, towering trees, countless springs and a navigable river. For this reason Dion was the "sacred place" of the Ancient Macedonians. It was the place where the kings made splendid sacrifices to celebrate the new year of the Macedonian calendar at the end of September. In the Spring, purification rites of the army and victory feasts were held.
The first mention of Dion in history comes from Thucydides, who reports that it was the first city reached by the Spartan general Brasidas after crossing from Thessaly into Macedon on his way through the realm of his ally Perdiccas II during his expedition against the Athenian colonies of Thrace in 424 BC. According to Diodorus Siculus, it was Archelaus I who, at the end of the 5th century BC when the Macedonian state acquired great power and emerged onto the stage of history, gave the city and its sanctuary their subsequent importance by instituting a nine-day festival of games that included athletic and dramatic competitions in honor of Zeus and the Muses, whose organisation was overseen by the Macedonian kings themselves.
Philip II and Alexander the Great celebrated victories here, and Alexander assembled his armies and performed magnificent sacrifices here on the eve of his campaign to Asia in 334BC.[5]
Many ancient authors speak of the sculptural bronze masterpiece by Lysippos made for Alexander depicting 25 mounted companions who fell at the Battle of the Granicus and later taken to Rome by Metellus.
A city was built adjacent to the sacred sites that acquired monumental form during the reigns of Alexander the Great's successors and Cassander took a great interest in the city erecting strong walls and public buildings, so that in Hellenistic times Dion was renowned far and wide for its fortification and splendid monuments. Dion and its sanctuary was destroyed in 219BC by Aetolian invaders but was immediately rebuilt by Philip V. Many of the dedications from the sanctuary that had been destroyed were buried in pits, including royal inscriptions and treaties, and these have been discovered recently.
Fortification wall
It fell to the Romans in 169BC and the city was given a new lease of life in 32/31BC when Octavian founded the Colony of COLONIA JULIA AUGUSTA DIENSIS here. It experienced its second heyday during the reigns of 2nd- and 3rd-century AD Roman emperors who were fond of Alexander the Great. Dion's final important period was in the 4th and 5th centuries AD when it became the seat of a bishopric. It was abandoned following major earthquakes and floods.
The modern village at the site was called Malathria until 1961, when it was renamed to Dio

The Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris, commonly known as Sacré-Cœur Basilica and often simply Sacré-Cœur (Basilique du Sacré-Cœur), is a Roman Catholic church and minor basilica, dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in Paris, France. A popular landmark, the basilica is located at the summit of the butte Montmartre, the highest point in the city. Sacré-Cœur is a double monument, political and cultural, both a national penance for the defeat of France in the 1870 Franco-Prussian War and the socialist Paris Commune of 1871 crowning its most rebellious neighborhood, and an embodiment of conservative moral order, publicly dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which was an increasingly popular vision of a loving and sympathetic Christ.
The Sacré-Cœur Basilica was designed by Paul Abadie. Construction began in 1875 and was finished in 1914. It was consecrated after the end of World War I in 1919.

The little design I made dedicated to Hawaii.
Took me like three tries to get this simple thing done! :/
Dedicated to David Prifti, who first taught me photography, and has inspired me ever since.
These Phalaenopsis orchid blossoms were allowed to dry naturally, into fantastical shapes. Then I shot them with the AF Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 Lens on the Nikon D300 Camera using mostly side lighting, with a wee bit of fill.

Monument dedicated to Thomas Francis Meagher, Brigadier General of the Irish Brigade. It reads:
"The Irish Brigade commander was born in Waterford City, Ireland on 23 August 1823, a well educated orator, he joined the young Ireland movement to liberate his nation. This led to his exile to a British Penal Colony in Tasmania Australia in 1849. He escaped to the United States in 1853 and became an American citizen. When the Civil War broke out he raised Company K, Irish Zouaves, for the 69th New York State Militia Regiment which fought at First Bull Run under Colonel Michael Corcoran. Subsequently Meagher raised the Irish Brigade and commanded it from 3 February 1862 to 14 May 1863. He later commanded a military district in Tennessee. After the War Meagher became Secretary and Acting Governor of the Montana Territory. He drowned in the Missouri River near Fort Benton on 1 July 1867. His body was never recovered."

In York's Shambles is a shrine to Saint Margaret Clitherow (1556-86), Roman Catholic saint and martyr.
Although she was born after the Reformation, Clitherow converted into Roman Catholicism, and allowed masses to be held at her house. In 1586, Clitherow was arrested for harbouring priests; Clitherow refused to confess, and was put to the press to force a confession and died as a result.
Beatification was made in 1929 by Pope Pius XI and she was canonised in 1970 by Pope Paul VI.
Making my way to the road bridge over the lines into Kensington Olympia after taking my shots at the fence I was offered to share space on an upturned bread crate by a very kind fellow enthusiast. This gave me those extra few inches to see over the high parapet as anyone under 6ft + who hadn't brought a box or step ladder to stand on to see over had to resort to sticking their camera's over the top and shooting blindly. The gentleman above was one of the best prepared there. In sight, sound and steps! With a set of steps and this fantastic looking very 'Heath Robinson' home made sight and sound recording apparatus!
Vietnam. Hanoi.
Quán Thánh Temple (Vietnamese: Đền Quán Thánh), formerly known as Trấn Vũ Temple (Hán Việt: Trấn Vũ Quan, Hán tự: 真武觀), is a Taoist temple in Hanoi, Vietnam. Dated to the 11th century, the temple was dedicated to Xuan Wu, or Trấn Vũ in Vietnamese, one of the principal deities in Taoism. As one of the Four Sacred Temples of the capital, Quan Thánh Temple is located near West Lake in a ward of same name, Quán Thánh Ward, and is one of the leading tourist attractions in Hanoi. Its name is recently changed from Quan Thánh into Quán Thánh with unknown reasons. The name of the long street running by the temple is as the same name as 'Quan Thánh Street' and it is changed accordingly as Quán Thánh street.

Jongmyo is a Confucian shrine dedicated to the perpetuation of memorial services for the deceased kings and queens of the Korean Joseon Dynasty (1392–1897). According to UNESCO, the shrine is the oldest royal Confucian shrine preserved and the ritual ceremonies continue a tradition established in the 14th century. Such shrines existed during the Three Kingdoms of Korea period (57-668), but these have not survived. The Jongmyo Shrine was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1995.
Jongmyo is adjacent to Changdeokgung and Changgyeonggung in the south. They used to be connected in the Joseon period, but were separated by a road built by Japanese colonialists. Nowadays there is a construction plan to recover the original structure of the shrine.
The main buildings of Jongmyo was constructed in October, 1394 when Taejo, first king of Joseon Dynasty, moved the capital to Seoul. It was destroyed by fire in the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592–98), then rebuilt in 1608.
HISTORY
When it was built in 1394 by order of King Taejo, the Jongmyo Shrine was thought to be one of the longest buildings in Asia, if not the longest. The main hall, known as Jeongjeon, had seven rooms. Each room was reserved for a king and his queen. The complex was expanded by King Sejong (r. 1418–50) who ordered the construction of Yeongnyeongjeon (Hall of Eternal Comfort). This practice of expansion continued, with the growth of the complex moving from west to east, because of the need to house more memorial tablets during the reigns of later kings until there were a total of 19 rooms. However, during the Seven-Year War (1592–98), Japanese invaders burned down the original shrine and a new complex was constructed in 1601 and has survived to this day. The original tablets were saved in the invasion by hiding them in the house of a commoner and also survive. A king's tablets were enshrined three years after his death. There are 19 memorial tablets of kings and 30 of their queens, placed in the 19 chambers. Each room is very simple and plain in design. Only two kings' memorial tablets are not enshrined here. In addition to the tablet, there is a panel listing each king's accomplishments.
The current Jeongjeon is National treasure of Korea No. 227 and is the longest building in Korea of traditional design.
DESCRIPTION
Viewed from the king's throne at Gyeongbokgung Palace, Jongmyo Shrine would have been on the king's left while the Sajik Shrine, another important Confucian shrine, was on the right. This arrangement was derived from Chinese practice. The main halls are surrounded by hills. In front of the main hall is the Woldae Courtyard, which is 150 meters in length and 100 meters in width.
The south entrance gate was reserved for spirits to enter and exit, the east gate was for the king, and the west gate was for the performers of the royal ritual.
The Jongmyo Shrine is divided into 15 main parts.

RITUALS AND PERFORMANCES
An elaborate performance of ancient court music (with accompanying dance) known as Jongmyo jeryeak (hangul: 종묘제례악; hanja: 宗廟祭禮樂) is performed there each year for the Jongmyo jerye ritual. Musicians, dancers, and scholars would perform Confucian rituals, such as the Jongmyo Daeje (Royal Shrine Ritual) in the courtyard five times a year. Today the rituals have been reconstructed and revived. The Jongmyo Daeje has been designated as Important Intangible Cultural Property No. 56 and is performed every year on the first Sunday in May. The Jongmyo Jerye-ak, the traditional court music of Joseon, is performed by the Royal Court Orchestra and has been designated as Important Intangible Cultural Property of South Korea No. 1. This court music has its origins in Chinese court music that was brought to Korea during the Goryeo period (918-1392). King Sejong composed new music for the ritual based largely on hyangak (with some dangak) in 1447 and 1462. .
The songs invite the ancestral spirits to descend from heaven to enjoy the kings achievements in founding the dynasty and defending the country in order to encourage their descendants to follow in their footsteps.
Today the members of the Jeonju Yi Royal Family Association perform the rites to the accompaniment of music and dance provided by musicians from the National Center for Korean Traditional Performing Arts and dancers from the Gukak National High School.

St. George, Staten Island, New York City, New York, United States
Dedicated in 1844, St. Peter's was the first Roman Catholic church building erected on Staten Island, housing the only Catholic parish on the island from 1839 to 1849; its pastor was responsible for ministering to the Catholic patients at the Quarantine Hospital during the key years of the Irish Potato famine and the European uprisings of 1845, one of this country's most significant periods of immigration. The church has remained a dominant Catholic presence on the island, and more than half of Staten Island's Catholic churches have been formed as offshoots of St. Peter's parish, the most important institution in die historic district. (The 1844 building, destroyed by fire in the 1890s, was replaced by the present St. Peter's church in 1900-01.)
This church and rectory complex is located on a through-the- block site with a frontage of 353 feet on St. Marks Place and about 412 feet on Carroll Place. Most of the site was conveyed to the St. Peter's Church in New Brighton in 1840 in two parcels from the Trustees of the New Brighton Association and from Edward A. Nicoll to be used as a place of public worship according to the rites of the Roman Catholic Church. The congregation which formed the nucleus of the parish had begun to meet in April 1839. in a gun factory in New Brighton (at the corner of Lafayette St. and Richmond Terrace) under the leadership of Rev. Ildefonso Madrono. Construction of a church building proceeded slowly, and the first church, which faced Carroll Place, was dedicated in March 1844. The first Roman Catholic church building erected on Staten Island, housing the only Catholic parish on the island from 1839 to 1849, St. Peter's has, through the years, remained a dominant Catholic presence on the island, and more than half of the Island's Catholic churches have been formed as parishes of St. Peter's. During the early 1850s, the Sisters of Charity came to St. Peter's and established a parish school in the church basement. For much of the nineteenth century, the church complex also included a rectory, a school building (demolished in 1923 when it was replaced by the present St. Peter's School which is on the north side of Carroll Place and outside the historic district) that stood at the west side of the church, and a frame building that served as a convent and St. Peter's Academy Music School which stood at 67 St. Marks Place (demolished in 1967).
The present church and rectory are associated with the early-twentieth-century rebuilding of the complex. A fire destroyed the first St. Peter's church building during the 1890s. The present neo- Romanesque structure, designed in 1900 by the architectural firm of Harding & Gooch under the direction of the Reverend Terrance Early, was dedicated in 1902. The fact that George Edward Harding resided in a large home on Richmond Terrace (now the site of St. Peter's School) may explain why the firm of Harding & Gooch received the commission. The firm is best known for several commissions for prominent commercial buildings during the 1890s, including the Postal Telegraph Company Building (a designated New York City Landmark). The remainder of the improvements were overseen by Father Charles A. Cassidy. Dormer windows had been added to the main roof of the structure by 1912, perhaps in 1910 when alteration applications were filed with the Department of Buildings (the dormers were removed in 1990). The tower on the west side of the church, left in a truncated state when the church was dedicated, was increased in height and finished in 1919 as the "Cardinal's Tower" in honor of Cardinal John M. Farley, who had served as curate at St. Peter's from 1870 to 1872. The neo-Renaissance/Romanesque rectory, to the east of the church and connected to it by an arcade, was designed by architect George H. Streeton in 1912 to replace the nineteenth-century rectory.
St. Peter's Church, roughly cruciform in plan, is a brick structure on a foundation of rock-faced limestone; the basement levei is of a tan brick, while brick on the upper stories is a lighter shade. Because of the sloping site, the basement levels of the church are exposed on the Carroll Place end of the structure. The main facade facing St. Marks Place has a projecting gabled entrance bay framed by the main gable face and corner towers rising above the main block. At the portal, engaged columns with foliate capitals form the jamb and support a round compound arch which frames a rose window. A band of sculpture niches surmounts a pair of arched entrances which have glazed wood doors below multi- paned transoms. The portal is flanked by large torcheres; a niche with the sculpture (badly eroded) of St. Peter terminates the gable face of the projecting entrance. The bell towers at the St. Marks facade are similar in design with terminating open arcades above blind arcades. The west tower has a polygonal roof, while the east tower has gable projections that rise above the flat replacement roof (1966), The side walls of the main block are articulated with pilasters and corbel tables framing each bay which has a round-arched window with German stained glass. The ends of the crossing have window groups at the basement and main sanctuary levels and a bull's eye window in the gable face, a feature that appears on the main block as well. The apse is formed by a gable-roofed extension (which, according to historic photographs, originally had a small dome rising above the gable roof) pierced by a series of round-arched windows at the main level, and by a curved extension built of small, rock-faced blocks (now painted), the uniformity of which suggests that they are cast stone or concrete. This extension has wide and narrow round-arched windows and a low-pitched domical roof. Three-story els flanking the apse are terminated by a bracketed cornice band and a parapet that is stepped adjacent to the apse. Prominent paired round-arched windows are set in larger arched openings in the north end walls, and entrances are placed in the east and west bays of these portions of the building, as well as other round- arched window openings.
