Gratuitous side-by-side of the two Sacred Lotus girls. I also have Devotion from the collection but she has redressed and moved on, and refuses to appear in the group shot, LOL.
From a photography workshop at the Bodleian Library, Oxford, including the opportunity to photograph from locations not normally open to the public, not to photographers. My thanks to the Bodleian for organising this.

One of the Louvre Museum chimeric fantastic animal ( winged horned lion with horse neck and eagle posterior legs) from the famous glazed bricks friezes found in the apadana (Darius the Great's palace) in Susa (Shush) by archeologist Marcel Dieulafoy and brought in Paris. Unfortunatly having lost most of its multiple colors, such polychromic friezes used to decorate the Achaemenian king's palaces in their capitales of Shush, Ecbatane, and Persepolis. Such figure is a protective divinity as the androcephalic winged huma faced bulls that decorated the gate of all nations. These figures were inspired by the assyrian mythology, assimilated and fashioned by the persian, showing the genious persian synthesis of the various artistic movements and traditions coming from all the empires corners.

...The concepts associated with the term Allah (as a deity) differ among the traditions. In pre-Islamic Arabia amongst pagan Arabs, Allah was not considered the sole divinity, having associates and companions, sons and daughters - a concept which Islam thoroughly and resolutely abrogated. In Islam, the name Allah is the supreme and all-comprehensive divine name. All other divine names are believed to refer back to Allah.
Allah is unique, the only Deity, creator of the universe and omnipotent.
Arab Christians today use terms such as Allāh al-ʼAb ( الله الأب, "God the Father") to distinguish their usage from Muslim usage. There are both similarities and differences between the concept of God as portrayed in the Qur'an and the Hebrew Bible...

"Cambridge is a university city and the county town of Cambridgeshire, England, on the River Cam approximately 50 miles (80 km) north of London. At the United Kingdom Census 2011, its population was 123,867 including 24,506 students. Cambridge became an important trading centre during the Roman and Viking ages, and there is archaeological evidence of settlement in the area as early as the Bronze Age. The first town charters were granted in the 12th century, although modern city status was not officially conferred until 1951.
The University of Cambridge was founded in 1209. The buildings of the university include King's College Chapel, Cavendish Laboratory, and the Cambridge University Library, one of the largest legal deposit libraries in the world. The city's skyline is dominated by several college buildings, along with the spire of the Our Lady and the English Martyrs Church, and the chimney of Addenbrooke's Hospital. Anglia Ruskin University, which evolved from the Cambridge School of Art and the Cambridgeshire College of Arts and Technology, also has its main campus in the city.
Cambridge is at the heart of the high-technology Silicon Fen with industries such as software and bioscience and many start-up companies born out of the university. Over 40 per cent of the workforce have a higher education qualification, more than twice the national average. The Cambridge Biomedical Campus, one of the largest biomedical research clusters in the world, is soon to house premises of AstraZeneca, a hotel, and the relocated Papworth Hospital.
The first game of association football took place at Parker's Piece. The Strawberry Fair music and arts festival and Midsummer Fair are held on Midsummer Common, and the annual Cambridge Beer Festival takes place on Jesus Green. The city is adjacent to the M11 and A14 roads. Cambridge station is less than an hour from London King's Cross railway station." - info from Wikipedia.

In every breath, a universe unfolds,
Each atom a testament, ancient and bold.
In rivers that flow, in mountains that rise,
The divine essence, a silent guise.
From the flutter of wings to the stars' dance above,
All intertwined in a tapestry of love.

ENGLISH
The church of Santa María de Aínsa, is a good example of the Medieval architecture of the Sobrarbe area, although throughout its history it has undergone many modifications of the several rooms the temple is made up of: church, subterranean crypt, cloister and belfry tower.
The origins of the temple go back to the XIth century, being an irregularly proportioned construction of rough ashlar.
The church is accessed by way of an open door with a semicircular arc and archivolts, upheld by columns with carved capitals, and on the higher part of the entrance the usual Romanesque chrysmon may be seen.
However, the church has another entrance at the back, which acts as a junction between the temple proper, the tower and the irregular pentagon-shaped medieval cloister.
From the church, entering from the first stretch of the nave, one reaches the basement, a crypt opened beneath the front part of the temple.
On the other hand, to visit the tower and enjoy a beautiful view of the Aínsa’s historical urban area and its surroundings, one must enter from the exterior, through an elevated door. When one reaches the belfry’s openings, it is easy to understand why this tower had religious uses, but above all military ones , as it is an excellent observation tower for the Cinca river.

CASTELLANO
La Iglesia parroquial de Santa María de Ainsa (Provincia de Huesca, España) es un templo de estilo románico iniciado en el siglo XI y finalizado en el siglo XII. Se consagró en 1181.
De sencilla portada de cuatro arquivoltas apoyadas en otros tantos pares de columnas de capiteles labrados. Desde el interior del templo de única nave con bóveda de medio cañón apuntado se accede a la cripta y el claustro, ambos de gran interés.
La Cripta cuenta con 18 columnas y capiteles. Su torre, de dimensiones únicas en el románico aragonés, hace imprescindible su visita, con saeteras para la defensa, se alza entre las casas del pueblo y domina el entorno. Consta de cuatro pisos diferenciados, uno de ellos, el tercero, destinado a campanario.
El claustro, totalmente irregular, es un ejemplo de adaptación al medio. En el interior se puede admirar la obra del ábside realizada en piedra blanda de color rojo. La bóveda es de horno y tiene el eje ligeramente desviado del de la nave.
