Le château des ducs de Bretagne est un château défensif et de plaisance situé à Nantes. Le château est classé monument historique depuis 1840. Le château a été construit au XVe siècle avec des éléments ajoutés aux XIVe au XVIIIe siècle. Fondé par les ducs de Bretagne au XIIIe siècle pour constituer une base défensive à Nantes, le château est devenu, sous François II, la principale résidence ducale bretonne. Sa fonction militaire est également utilisée par le duc lors de la Guerre folle au cours de laquelle il s'oppose au roi de France. Sa fille, la duchesse Anne, est plus tard contrainte d'épouser deux rois de France successifs, Charles VIII et Louis XII. Ces mariages entraînent l'union de la Bretagne à la France, définitivement scellée par un édit signé au château en 1532, par François Ier. Dès lors, le château perd son statut de résidence ducale pour devenir une forteresse royale. Il voit passer la plupart des rois de France, lorsque ceux-ci visitent la Bretagne, et il est la résidence officielle des gouverneurs de la province. Cependant, les séjours de ces derniers sont souvent brefs, à l'exception notable du duc de Mercœur, un gouverneur qui y tient une cour pendant les guerres de Religion. Sous l'Ancien Régime, le château sert aussi de prison d'État, ainsi que de caserne et d'arsenal militaire. Il ne subit aucune dégradation pendant la Révolution, mais l'explosion des réserves de poudre, en 1800, détruit une bonne part du monument. Propriété de la ville de Nantes à partir de 1915, il devient un musée en 1924. De 1990 à 2007, il bénéficie d’une rénovation de grande ampleur et il accueille, depuis 2007, le musée d'Histoire de Nantes.
The castle of the Dukes of Brittany is a defensive and pleasure castle located in Nantes. The castle has been listed as a historical monument since 1840. The castle was built in the 15th century with elements added in the 14th to the 18th century. Founded by the Dukes of Brittany in the 13th century to constitute a defensive base in Nantes, the castle became, under François II, the main Breton ducal residence. His military function was also used by the Duke during the Mad War during which he opposed the King of France. His daughter, Duchess Anne, was later forced to marry two successive kings of France, Charles VIII and Louis XII. These marriages lead to the union of Brittany with France, definitively sealed by an edict signed at the castle in 1532, by François Ier. Consequently, the castle loses its status of ducal residence to become a royal fortress. It sees most of the kings of France pass, when they visit Brittany, and it is the official residence of the governors of the province. However, the stays of the latter are often brief, with the notable exception of the Duke of Mercœur, a governor who held a court there during the Wars of Religion. Under the Ancien Régime, the castle also served as a state prison, as well as barracks and military arsenal. It did not undergo any degradation during the Revolution, but the explosion of the powder reserves in 1800 destroyed a good part of the monument. Property of the city of Nantes from 1915, it became a museum in 1924. From 1990 to 2007, it benefited from a large-scale renovation and, since 2007, it has housed the Nantes History Museum.

Mojave desert tortoise
The desert tortoise has been around for over 10 million years. Once very numerous, their numbers have dropped precipitously due to a number of factors: poaching, climate change, predation of young by ravens, and loss of habitat. Here in California, not only are they facing all of these issues, but more and more, solar companies are taking vast tracts of desert land for solar farms...which destroys their habitat. These tortoises recently gained protection as endangered species.

Moermond Castle
Moermond Castle was founded around 1229 by Constantijn of Zierikzee. The castle was twice destroyed by battles and rebuilt again. Today's Moermond Castle is the third castle to rise on this site. It was built in 1513.
The last residents lived in Moermond Castle during the Second World War. They made sure the castle was rebuilt. When, in 1953, the flood disaster hit the estate and castle again, they couldn't cope with restoring everything in such a short time. The water stood up to two metres high in and around the castle for months.
In 1955, the castle and estate were sold to a foundation. After a thorough restoration, between 1958 and 1960, it was returned to its original state.
In 1962, the "Outward Bound" school moved in. After the closure of the school, the castle functioned as a conference and meeting centre.
It currently houses a hotel.
-----------------------------
Kasteel Moermond werd rond 1229 opgericht door Constantijn van Zierikzee. Het kasteel werd twee maal door veldslagen verwoest en weer heropgebouwd. Het huidige kasteel Moermond is het derde kasteel dat op deze plek verrees. Het werd gebouwd in 1513.
De laatste bewoners woonden op kasteel Moermond tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Zij zorgden ervoor dat het kasteel weer herbouwd werd. Toen, in 1953, het landgoed en kasteel door de watersnoodramp weer werd getroffen, konden zij het in zo’n korte tijd niet aan om alles weer te herstellen. Het water stond maandenlang tot twee meter hoog in en om het kasteel.
In 1955 werd het kasteel en landgoed verkocht aan een stichting. Na een grondige restauratie, tussen 1958 en 1960, werd het weer in de originele staat terug gebracht.
In 1962 kwam er de “Outward Bound”-school in. Na de sluiting van de school fungeerde het kasteel als conferentie- en ontmoetingscentrum.
Momenteel is er een hotel in gevestigd.
I've photographed this store before. Located on St. Marks Place in the East Village, it is described as a "punk-vintage emporium."
If you go a couple photos back in my Photostream you will see a Diorama with this in the lower right corner. Several people asked for it. Thanks for viewing,
-Jake.
IF YOU FAVORITE, PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT.
Also, tomorrow I will upload a couple of new scenes, including one that has some more Forced Perspective.
I added Renegade because this was inspired by him, and Junkie just for the fun of it.
Chris, we need to catch up on Skype boi.
And one last thing, thanks for all the views! I am reaching my all time record at about 250-350 views a day!

Bosnia and Herzegovina often known informally as Bosnia, is a country in Southeast Europe, located within the Balkans. Sarajevo is the capital and largest city. Bosnia is not entirely a landlocked country as it may appear on a map – to the south it has a narrow coast on the Adriatic Sea long and surrounds the town of Neum. Many people still associate the country with the break-up of Yugoslavia in the heartbreaking civil war of the 1990's. The scars from that time are all still visible. But today's tourist are likely to remember the country for its friendly, modest and warm people. The country has turned into an exciting and versatile travel destination, with beautiful mountains, numerous medieval castle ruins, seven major rivers, impressive waterfalls. Overall, nearly 50% of Bosnia is forested. A country where Eastern and Western civilizations have met over the centuries. Today integration into the European Union is one of the main political objectives of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The local currency is the Bosnian mark. The euro is also accepted. Islam is the majority faith in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also Orthodox Christianity, and Roman Catholicism are all present. The wild and unspoilt nature makes it an ideal place for both adventurers and nature lovers. Mostar is the largest city in Hercegovina, with a small but thoroughly enchanting old town centre. Mostar has been most famous for this beautiful historic Ottoman-style Stari Most bridge, which spanned the Neretva river in what is considered the historic center of the city.
Mostar is situated on the Neretva River. Mostar was named after the bridge keepers (mostari) who in the medieval times guarded the Stari Most (Old Bridge) over the Neretva. The Old Bridge, built by the Ottomans (Turkish tribes) in the 16th century, is one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's most visited landmarks. The bridge was destroyed during the Bosnian War. The European Union has spent more than $ 15 million on restoration. The restoration was finished in 2004. In 2005, UNESCO inscribed the Old Bridge and its closest vicinity onto the World Heritage List. Today it is the city’s crown jewel, a grand stone bridge which sweeps across the water, making it the most photographed landmark in the entire country for good reason.
Bosnië en Herzegovina informeel bekend als Bosnië, is een land in Zuidoost-Europa, gelegen op de Balkan. Sarajevo is de hoofdstad en de grootste stad. Veel mensen associëren het land nog steeds met het uiteenvallen van Joegoslavië in de hartverscheurende burgeroorlog van de jaren negentig. De littekens uit die tijd zijn allemaal nog zichtbaar. Maar de toerist van vandaag de dag zal het land waarschijnlijk herinneren vanwege zijn vriendelijke, bescheiden en warme mensen. Het land is een opwindende en veelzijdige reisbestemming geworden, met prachtige bergen, talloze middeleeuwse kasteelruïnes, zeven grote rivieren, indrukwekkende watervallen. In totaal is bijna 50% van Bosnië bebost. Een land waar oosterse en westerse beschavingen elkaar door de eeuwen heen hebben ontmoet. Tegenwoordig is integratie in de Europese Unie een van de belangrijkste politieke doelstellingen van Bosnië en Herzegovina. Mostar ligt aan de rivier de Neretva. Mostar is vernoemd naar de brugwachters mostari die in de middeleeuwen de Stari Most oude brug over de Neretva bewaakten. De oude-brug, gebouwd door de Ottomanen Turkse stammen in de 16e eeuw, is één van de meest bezochte bezienswaardigheden van Bosnië en Herzegovina. De brug is tijdens de Bosnische oorlog verwoest. De Europese Unie heeft meer dan 15 miljoen dollar uitgegeven aan restauratie. De restauratie is in 2004 voltooid. In 2005 heeft de UNESCO de Oude Brug en de dichtstbijzijnde omgeving op de Werelderfgoedlijst gezet. Tegenwoordig is het het kroonjuweel van de stad, een grote stenen brug die over het water is gespannen waardoor het niet voor niets het meest gefotografeerde monument in het hele land is.
The Qutb complex is considered to be the first foundation of Delhi. On the ruins of Delhi's first mosque - built after the Muslim conquest of the city (around 1200).
The portico of the Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque framing the courtyard consists of columns/pillars from destroyed Hindu and Jain temples.

Der Qutb-Komplex wird als erste Stadtgründung Dehlis gezählt. Gelände auf den Ruinen der ersten – nach der muslimischen Eroberung der Stadt erbauten – Moschee Delhis (um 1200).
Der die Hoffläche rahmende Säulengang der Quwwat-ul-Islam-Moschee besteht aus Säulen/Pfeilern von zerstörten Hindu- und Jain-Tempeln.
The stained glass windows of Notre-Dame, particularly the three rose windows, are among the most famous features of the cathedral. The west rose window, over the portals, was the first and smallest of the roses in Notre-Dame. It is 9.6 metres in diameter, and was made in about 1225, with the pieces of glass set in a thick circular stone frame. None of the original glass remains in this window; it was recreated in the 19th century.
The two transept windows are larger and contain a greater proportion of glass than the rose on the west façade, because the new system of buttresses made the nave walls thinner and stronger. The north rose was created in about 1250, and the south rose in about 1260. The south rose in the transept is 12.9 metres in diameter; with the claire-voie surrounding it, a total of 19 metres. It was given to the cathedral by King Louis IX of France, known as Saint Louis.
The south rose has 94 medallions, arranged in four circles, depicting scenes from the life of Christ and those who witnessed his time on earth. The inner circle has twelve medallions showing the twelve apostles. During later restorations, some of these original medallions were moved to circles farther out. The next two circles depict celebrated martyrs and virgins. The fourth circle shows twenty angels, and saints important to Paris, such as Saint Denis, Margaret the Virgin with a dragon, and Saint Eustace. The third and fourth circles also have some depictions of Old Testament subjects. The third circle has some medallions with scenes from the New Testament Gospel of Matthew which date from the last quarter of the 12th century. These are the oldest glass in the window.
Additional scenes in the corners around the rose window include Jesus's Descent into Hell, Adam and Eve, the Resurrection of Christ. Saint Peter and Saint Paul are at the bottom of the window, and Mary Magdalene and John the Apostle at the top.
Above the rose was a window depicting Christ triumphant seated in the sky, surrounded by his Apostles. Below are sixteen windows with painted images of Prophets. These were painted during the restoration in the 19th century by Alfred Gérenthe, under the direction of Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, based upon a similar window at Chartres Cathedral.
The south rose had a difficult history. In 1543 it was damaged by the settling of the masonry walls, and not restored until 1725–1727. It was seriously damaged in the French Revolution of 1830. Rioters burned the residence of the archbishop, next to the cathedral, and many of the panes were destroyed. The window was rebuilt by Viollet-le-Duc in 1861 who rotated it by fifteen degrees to give it a clear vertical and horizontal axis, and replaced the destroyed pieces of glass with new glass in the same style. The window now contains both medieval and 19th-century glass.
In the 1960s, after three decades of debate, it was decided to replace many of the 19th-century grisaille windows in the nave designed by Viollet-le-Duc with new windows. The new windows, made by Jacques Le Chevallier, are without human figures and use abstract designs and colour to try to recreate the luminosity of the cathedral's interior in the 13th century.
The fire left the three great medieval rose windows mostly intact, but with some damage. The rector of the cathedral noted that one rose window would have to be dismantled, as it was unstable and at risk. Most of the other damaged windows were of much less historical value.
In early 2024 Macron proposed removing six of the seven undamaged 19th-century stained glass windows created by Eugene Viollet-le-Duc in the chapels along the south aisle of the nave, and replacing them with new windows with more contemporary designs. He invited contemporary artists to submit designs for the new windows. This proposal inspired a backlash in the press, and 140,000 people signed a petition to keep the old windows. The plan for contemporary windows was rejected by the French Commission on Architectural Monuments and Patrimony in July 2024.

Contrary to rumour, very few fungi are fatally poisonous. About 2% might give you funny dreams or an upset stomach but few kill. The destroying angel is an exception - it is as poisonous and acts similarly to the death cap. I have always wanted to see one but mercifully they are quite rare. So today was a real highlight - my first ever Amanita virosa.
