The Assayujjiya Punnama or the full moon day of Assayujjiya (September-October) also known as the Pravarana Punnama. It is second largest festival of Buddists in Bangladesh. This full moon day signifies the end of the three-month long seclusion of the monks inside their monasteries for self-edification and atonement of their defilement. Other functions of the festival include the offering the offering of the Buddha Puja in the morning, feeding the monks in fornoon, illumimination of the monastery in the evening by lighting candles like the Diwali of Hindus, vows of Pancha Sila or Attha Sila by the elders and keeping the Sabbath (fast day). It is a day of great rejoicing and merry-making. The day also celebrates another event in the life of Buddha. According to legend, Buddha once clipped some strands of hair from his head and said that if he was qualified to attain supreme wisdom and enlightenment, the hairs would not fall down but go up instead, which they did. To mark this event, Buddhists ignited and send up balloons made of colored paper to flow towards the sky as a symbol of lighting up the sky which is the chief attraction of the festival.

Les Gorges du Verdon
Le Verdon prend sa source tout près du col d'Allos, dans le massif des Trois Evêchés (2819 m). Il va se jeter dans la Durance, près de Vinon-sur-Verdon après avoir parcouru près de 175 kilomètres. Son parcours le plus intéressant se trouve entre Castellane et le Pont du Galetas, sur le lac de Sainte-Croix. Ce lac était il y a quelques dizaines d’années la grande plaine des Salles-sur-Verdon, avant la mise en eaux du lac artificiel créé par l’édification du barrage de Sainte-Croix. Lors de la montée des eaux en 1973, le vieux village des Salles a été noyé et reconstruit plus haut.
Les Gorges du Verdon se divisent en trois parties distinctes :
* les Prégorges, qui vont de Castellane à Pont de Soleils ;
* les Gorges qui vont de Pont de Soleils à l’Imbut ;
* le Canyon qui va de l’Imbut au Pont de Galetas.
Les Gorges du Verdon sont étroites et profondes : de 250 à 700 mètres de profondeur, pour 6 à 100 mètres de large au niveau de la rivière du Verdon, et 200 à 1500 mètres d’un versant à l’autre au sommet des gorges.

The Verdon Gorge
The Verdon Gorge (in French: Gorges du Verdon or Grand canyon du Verdon), in south-eastern France (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence), is a river canyon that is considered by many to be Europe's most beautiful. It is the world's second largest gorge, at about 25 kilometers in length and up to 700 meters deep. It was formed by the Verdon River, which is named after its startling turquoise-green colour, one of the canyon's most distinguishing characteristics. The most impressive part lies between the towns of Castellane and Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, where the river has cut a ravine up to 700 metres down through the limestone mass. At the end of the canyon, the Verdon river flows into the artificial lake of Sainte-Croix-du-Verdon (in French: Lac de Sainte-Croix).
La cathédrale Saint-Gatien de Tours est l'église cathédrale catholique romaine, située à Tours, en Indre-et-Loire. Dédiée Saint-Gatien, elle est le siège du diocèse de Tours et la cathédrale métropolitaine de la province ecclésiastique de Tours.
Elle a été classée monument historique par liste de 1862.
La cathédrale Saint-Gatien a été construite entre 1170 et 1547. Lors de sa création, elle était située presque au débouché du pont franchissant la Loire, sur la route reliant Paris au sud-ouest de la France. Elle fait l’objet d’un classement au titre des monuments historiques par la liste de 18621.
La première cathédrale Saint-Maurice a été édifiée par Lidoire, évêque de Tours de 337 à 371 et prédécesseur de Martin. Incendiée en 561, elle est restaurée par Grégoire de Tours et dédicacée en 590. Du fait de son emplacement, à l'angle sud-ouest du castrum, et de son orientation à l'est, l'accès se faisait, sinon au travers de l'enceinte tardo-antique, du moins en baïonnette depuis la voie traversant la cité ; une telle configuration est rare2. La cathédrale de Tours est reconstruite au cours du deuxième quart du xiie siècle et est incendiée en 1166 lors des luttes entre Louis VII de France et Henri II d'Angleterre, comte d'Anjou. On ne connaît pas le plan de cet édifice.
La nef et le chœur :
La cathédrale actuelle remplace cet édifice roman. La première campagne a concerné le croisillon sud et les tours, dès 1170. Le chœur est reconstruit de 1236 à 1279 par Étienne de Mortagne. C'est la nef qui a demandé le plus de temps pour son édification. L'architecte Simon du Mans reconstruit le transept et entame la nef, dont six travées, bas-côtés et chapelles sont édifiés au xive siècle — les deux premières travées correspondent à celles de l'ancienne cathédrale romane et remontent au xiie siècle. La nef n'est achevée qu'au xve siècle par les architectes Jean de Dammartin, Jean Papin et Jean Durand, grâce aux libéralités accordées par Charles VII et le duc de Bretagne Jean V. À l'occasion de l'édification du bâtiment actuel, la nef a donc été allongée vers l'ouest et les tours encadrant l'entrée sont élevées en dehors de l'ancienne cité, accentuant la particularité de l'édifice mentionnée supra ; l'enceinte tardo-antique est visible en coupe à l'arrière des tours depuis le nord. En 1356, la cathédrale reçoit le nouveau vocable de Gatien.
La façade a perdu les grandes statues des piédroits, détruites par les protestants au cours des guerres de Religion. Mais elle demeure une des plus extraordinaires créations du gothique flamboyant dans ce qu'il a de plus éxubérant, véritable dentelle de pierre sans guère d'équivalent, chef-d'œuvre décoratif de premier plan. Les tours sont élevées dans la première moitié du xvie siècle : la tour nord a été édifiée en 1507 par Pierre de Valence, et la tour sud entre 1534 et 1547 par Pierre Gadier.

La catedral San Gaciano de Tours, también llamada Catedral de Tours es la iglesia catedral de la diócesis de Tours y la catedral metropolitana de la provincia eclesiástica de Tours. Fue construida entre 1170 y 1547. Estaba situada durante su creación casi a la salida del puente que cruza el Loira, sobre la ruta que une ParÃs con el suroeste de Francia.
Historia:
La primera catedral de San Mauricio fue edificada por Lidoire, obispo de Tours del 337 al 371 y predecesor de MartÃn de Tours. Incendiada en el 561, fue restaurada por Gregorio de Tours y dedicada en el 590.
Su situación, en el ángulo suroeste del castrum, hace que la orientación al este haya hecho que el acceso se haga, sino a través de la muralla tardo-antigua, desde la vÃa que atraviesa la ciudad. Tal configuración es poco común. No se conoce el plano de este edificio.

Saint Gatien's Cathedral is the Roman Catholic cathedral church of the Tours diocese and the metropolitan cathedral of the Tours ecclesiastic province, in Indre-et-Loire, France. Saint-Gatien's Cathedral was built between 1170 and 1547. At the time construction began, it was located at the south end of the bridge over the Loire, on the road from Paris to the south-west of France. It has been a classified Monument historique since 1862.
The first cathedral of Saint-Maurice was built by Lidoire, bishop of Tours from 337 to 371 (preceding St Martin). Burnt in 561, it was restored by Gregory of Tours and rededicated in 590. Its location, at the south-west angle of the castrum, as well as its eastern orientation, resulted in the original access being through the late-Roman surrounding wall (such a configuration is quite rare).
The cathedral was then rebuilt during the second quarter of the 12th century and again burnt in 1166 during the conflict between Louis VII of France and Henry II of England (also count of Anjou, the neighboring region).
The present cathedral replaces the 13th century Romanesque building. The first phase concerned the south transept and the towers, as early as 1170. The chancel was rebuilt from 1236 to 1279 by Étienne de Mortagne but the nave took much longer to build. The architect Simon du Mans rebuilt the transept and started the nave, including six spans, aisle and chapel, built during the 14th century — the first two spans correspond to those of the old Romanesque cathedral and date back to the 12th century. The nave was only finished during the 15th century by architects Jean de Dammartin, Jean Papin and Jean Durand, thanks to the generosity of Charles VII and the Duke of Brittany Jean V.
While building the present cathedral, the nave was then extended westward and the towers surrounding its entrance were erected during the first half of the 16th century, the first tower in 1507 by Pierre de Valence 87 m high, and the second tower during 1534 and 1547 by Pierre Gadier. Highlighting the special feature of the building, called supra, the towers were erected outside of the old city. The late-Roman surrounding wall is visible in cross section at the rear of the towers from the north.
In 1356, the cathedral received its new name of saint Gatien. Its construction having been particularly slow, it presents a complex pattern of French religious types of architecture from the 13th century to the 15th. For example, the tower buttresses are Romanesque, the ornamentation generally is pure Gothic, and the tops of the towers are Renaissance (beginning of the 16th century).

I am a big fan of diffusing the light when photographing insects. Most of the shiny subjects looks far better under drastically diffused flash or other lights. The tiny details of the surface pass off in spotted illumination, so I always prefer using white plastic or white office paper around the insects.
Now I wouldn't show example shots with absolutely pure lights, I hope each of you know the problem.
As my favorite family of beetles are the jewel beetles, I have a lot of experiences in shooting them. In the nature they frequent sun-exposed places, like cut woods, flowers or dry trees. Pictures made under these conditions will be overcontrasted, too many black areas and shiny spots, loosing the nice sculpture details. You'd be better to photograph them in overcast or in early morning.
Excercise in the studio gives useful experiences which can be profitable in the field.
Jewel beetles (Buprestidae) are mostly colorful, metallic insects, they always look exciting if the light is well controlled. I obtained some routine with this small fellow a few days ago. It is a prepared leaf miner beetle - Trachys troglodytiformis choosen from my collection. Its length is 2,95 mm.
For the test stacks I used the JML 21/3.5 lens on a bellows set to 7x magnification. Two sequences were made, first with a whole paper cylinder, second with the same cylinder but with a hole on it, and a translucent paper fixed on the hole. Both stacks were combined in two stacking methods of Zerene: DMap and PMax, surprisingly the results are different in terms of lighting effect.
My edification is the excessive diffusing loses from the nature of the subject in some cases. Let's check the examples below!

La cathédrale Saint-Gatien de Tours est l'église cathédrale catholique romaine, située à Tours, en Indre-et-Loire. Dédiée Saint-Gatien, elle est le siège du diocèse de Tours et la cathédrale métropolitaine de la province ecclésiastique de Tours.
Elle a été classée monument historique par liste de 1862.
La cathédrale Saint-Gatien a été construite entre 1170 et 1547. Lors de sa création, elle était située presque au débouché du pont franchissant la Loire, sur la route reliant Paris au sud-ouest de la France. Elle fait l’objet d’un classement au titre des monuments historiques par la liste de 18621.
La première cathédrale Saint-Maurice a été édifiée par Lidoire, évêque de Tours de 337 à 371 et prédécesseur de Martin. Incendiée en 561, elle est restaurée par Grégoire de Tours et dédicacée en 590. Du fait de son emplacement, à l'angle sud-ouest du castrum, et de son orientation à l'est, l'accès se faisait, sinon au travers de l'enceinte tardo-antique, du moins en baïonnette depuis la voie traversant la cité ; une telle configuration est rare2. La cathédrale de Tours est reconstruite au cours du deuxième quart du xiie siècle et est incendiée en 1166 lors des luttes entre Louis VII de France et Henri II d'Angleterre, comte d'Anjou. On ne connaît pas le plan de cet édifice.
La nef et le chœur :
La cathédrale actuelle remplace cet édifice roman. La première campagne a concerné le croisillon sud et les tours, dès 1170. Le chœur est reconstruit de 1236 à 1279 par Étienne de Mortagne. C'est la nef qui a demandé le plus de temps pour son édification. L'architecte Simon du Mans reconstruit le transept et entame la nef, dont six travées, bas-côtés et chapelles sont édifiés au xive siècle — les deux premières travées correspondent à celles de l'ancienne cathédrale romane et remontent au xiie siècle. La nef n'est achevée qu'au xve siècle par les architectes Jean de Dammartin, Jean Papin et Jean Durand, grâce aux libéralités accordées par Charles VII et le duc de Bretagne Jean V. À l'occasion de l'édification du bâtiment actuel, la nef a donc été allongée vers l'ouest et les tours encadrant l'entrée sont élevées en dehors de l'ancienne cité, accentuant la particularité de l'édifice mentionnée supra ; l'enceinte tardo-antique est visible en coupe à l'arrière des tours depuis le nord. En 1356, la cathédrale reçoit le nouveau vocable de Gatien.
La façade a perdu les grandes statues des piédroits, détruites par les protestants au cours des guerres de Religion. Mais elle demeure une des plus extraordinaires créations du gothique flamboyant dans ce qu'il a de plus éxubérant, véritable dentelle de pierre sans guère d'équivalent, chef-d'œuvre décoratif de premier plan. Les tours sont élevées dans la première moitié du xvie siècle : la tour nord a été édifiée en 1507 par Pierre de Valence, et la tour sud entre 1534 et 1547 par Pierre Gadier.

Su situación, en el ángulo suroeste del castrum, hace que la orientación al este haya hecho que el acceso se haga, sino a través de la muralla tardo-antigua, desde la vÃa que atraviesa la ciudad. Tal configuración es poco común. No se conoce el plano de este edificio.

Saint Gatien's Cathedral is the Roman Catholic cathedral church of the Tours diocese and the metropolitan cathedral of the Tours ecclesiastic province, in Indre-et-Loire, France. Saint-Gatien's Cathedral was built between 1170 and 1547. At the time construction began, it was located at the south end of the bridge over the Loire, on the road from Paris to the south-west of France. It has been a classified Monument historique since 1862.
The first cathedral of Saint-Maurice was built by Lidoire, bishop of Tours from 337 to 371 (preceding St Martin). Burnt in 561, it was restored by Gregory of Tours and rededicated in 590. Its location, at the south-west angle of the castrum, as well as its eastern orientation, resulted in the original access being through the late-Roman surrounding wall (such a configuration is quite rare).
The cathedral was then rebuilt during the second quarter of the 12th century and again burnt in 1166 during the conflict between Louis VII of France and Henry II of England (also count of Anjou, the neighboring region).
The present cathedral replaces the 13th century Romanesque building. The first phase concerned the south transept and the towers, as early as 1170. The chancel was rebuilt from 1236 to 1279 by Étienne de Mortagne but the nave took much longer to build. The architect Simon du Mans rebuilt the transept and started the nave, including six spans, aisle and chapel, built during the 14th century — the first two spans correspond to those of the old Romanesque cathedral and date back to the 12th century. The nave was only finished during the 15th century by architects Jean de Dammartin, Jean Papin and Jean Durand, thanks to the generosity of Charles VII and the Duke of Brittany Jean V.
While building the present cathedral, the nave was then extended westward and the towers surrounding its entrance were erected during the first half of the 16th century, the first tower in 1507 by Pierre de Valence 87 m high, and the second tower during 1534 and 1547 by Pierre Gadier. Highlighting the special feature of the building, called supra, the towers were erected outside of the old city. The late-Roman surrounding wall is visible in cross section at the rear of the towers from the north.
In 1356, the cathedral received its new name of saint Gatien. Its construction having been particularly slow, it presents a complex pattern of French religious types of architecture from the 13th century to the 15th. For example, the tower buttresses are Romanesque, the ornamentation generally is pure Gothic, and the tops of the towers are Renaissance (beginning of the 16th century).

Le château de Chambord est un château français situé dans la commune de Chambord, dans le département de Loir-et-Cher en région Centre-Val de Loire.
Construit au cœur du plus grand parc forestier clos d’Europe (environ 50 km2 ceint par un mur de 32 km de long), il s'agit du plus vaste des châteaux de la Loire. Il bénéficie d'un jardin d'agrément et d'un parc de chasse classés Monuments historiques.
Le site a d'abord accueilli une motte féodale, ainsi que l'ancien château des comtes de Blois. L'origine du château actuel remonte au xvie siècle et au règne du roi de France François Ier qui supervise son édification à partir de 1519.
The royal Château de Chambord at Chambord, Loir-et-Cher, France, is one of the most recognizable châteaux in the world because of its very distinctive French Renaissance architecture which blends traditional French medieval forms with classical Renaissance structures. The building, which was never completed, was constructed by King Francis I of France.
Chambord is the largest château in the Loire Valley; it was built to serve as a hunting lodge for Francis I, who maintained his royal residences at the châteaux of Blois and Amboise. The original design of the Château de Chambord is attributed, though with some doubt, to Domenico da Cortona; Leonardo da Vinci may also have been involved.
Chambord was altered considerably during the twenty-eight years of its construction (1519–1547), during which it was overseen on-site by Pierre Nepveu. With the château nearing completion, Francis showed off his enormous symbol of wealth and power by hosting his old archrival, Emperor Charles V, at Chambord.
In 1792, in the wake of the French Revolution, some of the furnishings were sold and timber removed. For a time the building was left abandoned, though in the 19th century some attempts were made at restoration. During the Second World War, art works from the collections of the Louvre and the Château de Compiègne were moved to the Château de Chambord. The château is now open to the public, receiving 700,000 visitors in 2007.

Rossauer Barracks
9th district
The Rossauer Barracks should be together with Franz Joseph's Barracks and the arsenal part of a planned fortress triangle, which should provide protection against internal unrest. On 1 August 1864, ground was broken for the construction of the barracks in the Rossau. Full six years took the edification, and 5 July 1870 the entire area was handed over and the first troops moved. The Barracks underwent several alterations and changes of use over time. During World War II falling bombs destroyed the Danube side infantry officer tract completely, but then it was mostly ​​true to the original rebuilt.
The Rossauer barracks is built in the style of late romantic historicism and recalls the medieval fortress architecture with towers, battlements, attachments and eaves. The equipment of the barracks was already inadequate and doubtful designed in the early days when it came to spatial proportions and sanitation. It was sometimes the story that the architect committed suicide because he had forgotten to install toilets. The barracks offered after their completion accommodation for 2,900 men and 390 horses. Next to it 99 officers flats of different sizes, 43 apartments for married officers, a chapel and office spaces were housed. The building has huge proportions. The length is 269m and width of 136m. In the barracks there are three large courtyards. Due to the proximity to the water, when building a very strong foundation was needed, which is located on about 30,000 pilots. It is worthwhile to make the approximately 850m long walk around the building.

Someone asked me the other day how I take "such incredible shots." I told him I take a ton of shots, and throw out the garbage. It's only the top ten percent that are any good, at best. He didn't seem to believe me. I told him I could put together an entire album of crappy shots: way too much flash, noisy, blurry, accidental amputations, and just total what-the-hell-settings-did-I-even-USE crap.
So here; for his edification (or at least to make him feel better), my enjoyment, and (possibly) yours; is a handful I happened to still have on my hard drive. Which is sad, because that means in some cases the shots made the "first cut." They are super-meh, every last one. Some worse than meh.
