Malbork Castle, Zamek w Malborku
The Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork is a 13th-century Teutonic castle and fortress located near the town of Malbork, Poland. It is the largest castle in the world measured by land area and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wikipedia
It was originally constructed by the Teutonic Knights, a German Catholic religious order of crusaders, in a form of an Ordensburg fortress. The Order named it Marienburg in honour of Mary, mother of Jesus. In 1457, it since served as one of the several Polish royal residences and the seat of Polish offices and institutions to 1772. From then on the castle was under German rule for over 170 years until 1945.
The castle is a classic example of a medieval fortress and, on its completion in 1406, was the world's largest brick castle. UNESCO designated the "Castle of the Teutonic Order in Malbork" and the Malbork Castle Museum a World Heritage Site in December 1997. It is one of two World Heritage Sites in the region (north-central Poland), together with the "Medieval Town of Toruń", which was founded in 1231.
Malbork Castle is also one of Poland's official national Historic Monuments (Pomnik historii), as designated on 16 September 1994. Its listing is maintained by the National Heritage Board of Poland.
With the rise of Adolf Hitler to power in the early 1930s, the Nazis used the castle as a destination for annual pilgrimages of both the Hitler Youth and the League of German Girls. The Teutonic Castle at Marienburg served as a blueprint for the Order Castles of the Third Reich built under Hitler's reign. In 1945 during World War II combat in the area, more than half the castle was destroyed. At the conclusion of the war, the city of Malbork and the castle became again part of Poland. The castle has been mostly reconstructed, with restoration ongoing since 1962. A new restoration was completed in April 2016. Malbork Castle remains the largest brick complex in Europe.

The secret of his deception was buried deep, so deep it was virtually erased. Ultimately something would serve as a reminder.
Energy is one of nature’s best freebies. It’s everywhere - in the air, in sunlight, blowing in the wind, rushing through rivers, crashing in waves, buried in fossil fuels like coal and gas, the food we eat, and yes, even in that pile of dead branches of a tree.
There’s a basic rule of nature — also a rule in physics — that energy can’t be created or destroyed. It just changes from one form to another.
Fire and water are nature’s dynamic duo when it comes to energy makeovers. For example: fire burns fuel, heats water, makes steam, spins turbines to produce electricity. Not the cleanest transformation, but it will remain till greener tech gets its game together.
Fire and water also cook a meal. That meal gives us the energy we need to work, think, take photos... and overanalyze energy... :)
And all of this—fire, water, food, electricity, the entire dance of energy transformations—is because we live on this very lucky rock spinning in space
During the Balkan Wars, the previously Ottoman city of Scutari fell 1913 to Serbia and Montenegro after a seven-month siege. However, an international conference in London awarded the city to the young state of Albania. An international naval blockade involving the German cruiser Breslau forced the withdrawal of troops from Scutari. An international corps of British, German, French, Italian and Austro-Hungarian contingents was formed as military security. The German contribution consisted of a company-sized naval infantry detachment of 120 volunteers.
On August 3, 1933 torrential rains caused the Castlewood Canyon Dam to break, and sent a 15 ft high wall of water rushing along Cherry Creek into the heart of Denver. Two lives were lost, and several bridges and building were destroyed.
Now a state park, this is all the evidence that remains of that fateful night.

The Parthenon, dedicated by the Athenians to Athena Parthenos, the patron of their city, is the most magnificent creation of Athenian democracy at the height of its power. It is also the finest monument on the Acropolis in terms of both conception and execution. Built between 447 and 438 BC, as part of the greater Periklean building project, this so-called Periklean Parthenon (Parthenon III) replaced an earlier marble temple (Parthenon II), begun after the victory at the battle of Marathon at approximately 490 BC and destroyed by the Persians in 480 BC. This temple had replaced the very first Parthenon (Parthenon I) of c. 570 BC. The Periklean Parthenon was designed by architects Iktinos and Kallikrates, while the sculptor Pheidias supervised the entire building program and conceived the temple's sculptural decoration and chryselephantine statue of Athena.

"El entierro del conde de Orgaz" (El Greco, 1586-88), Iglesia de Santo Tomé, Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha, España.
La iglesia de Santo Tomé o de Santo Tomás Apóstol se encuentra ubicada en el centro histórico de la ciudad española de Toledo, y fue fundada después de la reconquista de esta ciudad por el rey Alfonso VI de León. Aparece citada en el siglo XII, como construida sobre el solar de una antigua mezquita del siglo XI. Esta mezquita junto con otras de la ciudad fueron utilizadas como iglesias cristianas sin grandes cambios, ya que en la toma de la ciudad no hubo destrucción de edificios.
Sin embargo, a principios del siglo XIV, por encontrarse en estado ruinoso fue totalmente reedificada a cargo de Gonzalo Ruiz de Toledo, señor de Orgaz y se transformó el antiguo alminar de la mezquita en campanario en estilo mudéjar. Su fama se debe sobre todo por albergar en su interior, el cuadro El entierro del Conde de Orgaz de El Greco, que puede contemplarse accediendo por la parte posterior de la iglesia.
El entierro del señor de Orgaz, popularmente llamado El entierro del conde de Orgaz, es un óleo sobre lienzo de 4,80 x 3,60 metros, pintado en estilo manierista por El Greco entre los años 1586 y 1588. Fue realizado para la parroquia de Santo Tomé de Toledo, España, y se encuentra conservado en este mismo templo. Está considerada una de las mejores y más admiradas obras del autor.
El cuadro representa el milagro en el que, según la tradición, San Esteban y San Agustín bajaron del Cielo para enterrar personalmente a Gonzalo Ruiz de Toledo, señor de la villa de Orgaz, en la iglesia de Santo Tomé, como premio por una vida ejemplar de devoción a los santos, su humildad y las obras de caridad que llevó a cabo.
El Greco aceptó el encargo de realizar la obra en 1586, algo más de dos siglos y medio después de los hechos que en ella representó. Recibió detalladas directrices sobre cómo debía aparecer el milagro de la zona inferior del lienzo, pero una vaga descripción de la zona de la Gloria. El pintor cretense incorporó en la zona superior la representación del Juicio y la aceptación en el Cielo del alma del señor de Orgaz. También cargó a la escena del entierro de un aire de actualidad, retratando a varones de su tiempo con ropajes del siglo XVI y situando los hechos en un oficio de difuntos con las características de la época.
The Church of Santo Tomé or Santo Tomás Apóstol is located in the historic centre of the Spanish city of Toledo, and was founded after the reconquest of this city by King Alfonso VI of León. It is mentioned in the 12th century, as having been built on the site of an old mosque from the 11th century. This mosque, along with others in the city, were used as Christian churches without major changes, since no buildings were destroyed when the city was taken.
However, at the beginning of the 14th century, as it was in a state of ruin, it was completely rebuilt by Gonzalo Ruiz de Toledo, Lord of Orgaz, and the old minaret of the mosque was transformed into a bell tower in the Mudejar style. Its fame is due above all to the fact that it houses the painting The Burial of the Count of Orgaz by El Greco, which can be seen by entering through the back of the church.
The Burial of the Lord of Orgaz, popularly called The Burial of the Count of Orgaz, is an oil on canvas measuring 4.80 x 3.60 metres, painted in the Mannerist style by El Greco between 1586 and 1588. It was made for the parish of Santo Tomé in Toledo, Spain, and is preserved in this same temple. It is considered one of the best and most admired works of the author.
The painting represents the miracle in which, according to tradition, Saint Stephen and Saint Augustine came down from Heaven to personally bury Gonzalo Ruiz de Toledo, lord of the town of Orgaz, in the church of Santo Tomé, as a reward for an exemplary life of devotion to the saints, his humility and the works of charity he carried out.
El Greco accepted the commission to create the work in 1586, a little more than two and a half centuries after the events he depicted in it. He received detailed instructions on how the miracle in the lower part of the canvas should appear, but only a vague description of the Glory area. The Cretan painter incorporated the representation of the Judgement and the acceptance of the soul of the Lord of Orgaz into Heaven in the upper area. He also gave the burial scene a contemporary air, depicting men of his time in 16th-century clothing and situating the events in a funeral service with the characteristics of the time.

Holy Trinity Church, a Russian Orthodox church in Karakol.
The first church in Karakol, built when the city was founded, in 1869. Its purpose was to serve the troops stationed in Karakol, which it did until it was destroyed in an earthquake in 1889. A new wooden church was built on the same spot over the course of six years, and was consecrated in 1895.
Upon its completion, the spire of the new Holy Trinity Church was the tallest building in Karakol, at 26m tall. The church was active until 1917, when it became property of the state, and was used as everything from a theater to warehouse. In 1947, the church started holding services again, but in the 1960s was again used for other purposes.
After independence in 1991, the building was returned to church authorities, who started repairs and reconstructions for the damaged interior and exterior.
A surprising still morning allowed this classic view of Kylemore Abbey at the end of our few days in Connemara. It was originally styled Kylemore Castle and was a private home but had to be sold by the Duke of Manchester because of gambling debts. It was bought by Benedictine Nuns after their abbey in Ypres was destroyed in the First World War. That abbey was founded by Catholics who fled persecution in Britain in the 16th and 17th centuries, and for many years attracted patronage, and daughters, from exiled Irish families. Nuns and gambling, together at last.

One hundred and twenty years of open-pit mining have left large, gaping, reddish wounds in the landscape, destroying the beauty of the landscapes, polluting rivers, water catchments and the lagoon, and multiplying the risk of landslides.
Long considered an integral part of the mining industry essential for development, environmental degradation was only really a concern and authorities only really became a concern in the early 1970s, just after the nickel boom.
