Metz, France - St Stephen's Cathedral
Saint-Étienne de Metz (French for "Saint-Stephen of Metz"), also known as Metz Cathedral, is a historic Roman Catholic cathedral in Metz, capital of Lorraine, France. Saint-Étienne de Metz is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Metz and the seat of the Bishop of Metz, currently Pierre Raffin.The cathedral treasury exhibits the millennium rich collection of the Bishopric of Metz, including paraments and items used for the Eucharist.
Saint-Stephen of Metz has one of the highest naves in the world. The cathedral is nicknamed the Good Lord's Lantern (French: la Lanterne du Bon Dieu), displaying the largest expanse of stained glass in the world with 6,496 m2 (69,920 sq ft). Those stained glass windows include works by Gothic and Renaissance master glass makers Hermann von Münster, Theobald of Lixheim, and Valentin Bousch and romantic Charles-Laurent Maréchal, tachist Roger Bissière, cubist Jacques Villon, and modernist Marc Chagall.
Built between 1220 and 1552, it is the product of the unification of two distinct churches. With its 42 metre high vaults, it is one of the highest Gothic edifices in Europe. With its 6,500 m² of stained glass windows, the nickname “God’s lantern” is well merited. There are windows from the 13th to the 20th centuries by Hermann de Münster, Thiebault de Lixheim, Valentin Bousch, Jacques Villon and Marc Chagall. These masterpieces of the art of fire and light form a veritable encyclopaedia of the art of stained glass.
Architecture
Saint-Stephen Cathedral is a Rayonnant Gothic edifice built with the local yellow Jaumont limestone. Like in French Gothic architecture, the building is compact, with slight projection of the transepts and subsidiary chapels. However, it displays singular, distinctive characteristics in both its ground plan and architecture compared to most of the other cathedrals. Because of topography of Moselle valley in Metz, the common west-east axis of the ground plan could not be applied and the church is oriented north-northeast. Moreover, unlike the French and German Gothic cathedrals having three portals surmounted by a rose window and two large towers, Saint-Stephen of Metz has a single porch at its western facade. One enters laterally in the edifice by another portal placed at the south-western side of the narthex, declining the usual alignment of the entrance with the choir.
The nave is supported by flying buttresses and culminates at 41.41 metres (135.9 ft) high, making one of the highest naves in the world. The height of the nave is contrasted by the relatively low height of the aisles with 14.3 metres (47 ft) high, reinforcing the sensation of tallness of the nave. This feature permitted the architects to create large, tall expanses of stained glass. Through its history, Saint-Stephen Cathedral was subjected to architectural and ornamental modifications with successive additions of Neoclassical and Neogothic elements.
Construction history
The edification of Saint-Stephen of Metz took place on an Ancient site from the 5th century consecrated to Saint Stephen protomartyr. According to Gregory of Tours, the shrine of Saint Stephen was the sole structure spared during the sack of 451 by Attila's Huns. The construction of the Gothic cathedral began in 1220 within the walls of an Ottonian basilica dating from the 10th century. The integration into the cathedral's ground plan of a Gothic chapel from the 12th century at the western end resulted in the absence of a main western portal; the south-western porch of the cathedral being the entrance of the former chapel. The work was completed around 1520 and the new cathedral was consecrated on 11 April 1552.
In 1755, French architect Jacques-François Blondel was awarded by the Royal Academy of Architecture to built a Neoclassical portal at the West end of the cathedral. He disengaged the cathedral's facade by razing an adjacent cloister and three attached churches and achieved the westwork in 1764.
In 1877, the Saint-Stephen of Metz was heavily damaged after a conflagration due to fireworks. After this incident, it was decided the refurbishment of the cathedral and its adornments within a Neogothic style. The western facade was completely rebuilt between 1898 and 1903; the Blondel's portal was demolished and a new Neogothic portal was added.

Saint Anne's Church
Bodiem, Goa, India
Religious Architecture
The Church of Saint Anne in Bodiem is the smallest of the churches with domed façades built in Bardez from the mid-18th century to the early 19th century, its size making it more of a chapel than a church. It was raised to parish church status in 1946. It was founded in 1801 as an affiliate of Tivim and subject to “re-edification” work in 1892-93, when that parish was disbanded. As usual in Goan literature on such matters and in the plaques placed in churches (and in Saint Anne’s), we do not know how to interpret terms such as “re-edification”. But one of the plaques at Saint Anne’s attributes the church’s plan to Father Leopoldo Francisco da Rocha, parish priest from 1885 to 1895. The ornamental vocabulary of the main façade and interior is quite similar to that found in the Church of Moira, which we can date to the early 19th century. The single nave with wooden ceiling and shell niches housing windows is also characteristic of that period. The chancel roof, with a groin vault and penetrations, seems to be a revivalist exercise characteristic of the late 19th century. The church is located on a privileged site facing west, isolated in front of a long stretch of flood plains and branches of water. The village is located to the east, up the slope behind the church.

A sugar plantation; an abandoned investment property; a cattle ranch; a landscape of defiance in the face of the Army Corps of Engineers--Oak Alley has been many things in its over 200 years of history. Today it is a historic site, dedicated to preserving and interpreting each chapter of this plantation’s memory. Our mission, established by Mrs. Josephine Stewart is as follows:
Oak Alley Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public non-profit trust organized and operated exclusively for charitable, literary and educational purposes. Its trustees are charged with maintaining and preserving the mansion (Big House) and surrounding sixty-three (63) acre National Historic Landmark site for public exhibition as an historical monument to the times and area in which the property was built and for the instruction, education, enlightenment, information, edification and cultural benefit of the citizens of the State of Louisiana, the United States and the public generally.
Open to the public since 1976, our institutional values include complete respect for the National Landmark with which we have been entrusted. This not only is evident in our dedication to it’s preservation and maintenance but in our complete adherence to narrative integrity, in deference to this iconic historic site whose past includes serving as a place of enslavement even as it was celebrated for its stunning landscape.

I'd be lying if I said this wasn't strongly inspired by some of Marc Adamus' dead sage shots. But, I also think I've managed to make it mine. After all, there's no reason we shouldn't take inspiration from others' we admire! I've had my eye on these sorts of bushes in the canyon where I usually go birding for while now. Today I went specifically to look for some cool bushes, and found a couple nice ones. I don't actually know what kind they are.. if you do, let me know! It's likely I'll post some others in the coming weeks.. so I'd love to hear your thoughts on this one. Sometimes I feel the top 1/3rd doesn't belong, but without it it feels too flat and blah.
Please view LARGE!
Also - might as well note, I did not burn/dodge those foreground bushes, or add any unnatural contrast.. they actually did pop out like that all on their own!

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).
So close and yet so far.
Every once in a while, the little wooden ship would appear on the large map on the aft wall of the bridge to mark our approximate location. Since it wasn't done regularly, I don't think it was required. Instead, I suspect one of the crew did it for the edification of anyone who happened to see where we were or had been recently.
Here, I'm seemingly just a few steps from my past: the Orinoco, Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados.
Then there's theterra incognita of my South America: Guyana, Surinam and French Guiana. I've convinced myself that this is the last undiscovered corner of the continent, a place lost in time, pristine tropical jungle home to toucans, cacao trees and blue morpho butterflies.
If I wait until there's a tourist infrastructure, then I'll just be part of the herd. If I go now, I may be setting myself up for an experience straight out of a Paul Theroux story.
