Tsiolkovskiy Crater central peak: Cropped and rotated portion from AS15-97-13160, to match/compare/correlate with the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter image of the same area - for my own edification- and to share. Despite no enhancement/exaggeration of this 720 dpi-scanned 46 year-old photo, the resolution and ability to correlate multiple surface features to those in the subsequent LROC image (in this album), is quite remarkable.
- Cette tour est le vestige des remparts détruits sur ordre de Louis XIII lors du siège d’Alès, terminé par la signature de Paix d’Alès en 1629. Cette tour a été sauvée parce qu’elle comportait une horloge depuis 1559. Sa construction commencée en 1320 a duré 50 ans pour bâtir les 3 étages et la terrasse, avec des murs de 1,50 m d’épaisseur. Les créneaux actuels furent ajoutés au moment de l’édification du clocheton en 1701. Une méridienne illustrée d’un soleil et des signes du zodiaque, a été installée sous l’un des cadrans de l’horloge, certainement à la même époque.
La hauteur de la tour est de 22m pour une largeur de 8,40m. Elle est classée monument historique depuis 1978.

La Croix des pêcheurs est située dans une ruelle de la rue Auguste-Langlois (ainsi baptisée vers 1960 du nom d'un des premiers pêcheurs du coin), anciennement nommée rue des Pêcheurs (1840) puis rue de la Croix (1860, date de son édification en béton). En 1953, a lieu une grande éruption volcanique. Pour conjurer les feux de La Fournaise, la population de Terre-Sainte implore Notre-Dame-du-Bon-Port et lui construit un oratoire couvert à côté de la croix. Depuis, l'une veille, l'autre guide.
The Fishermen's Cross is located in an alley off Rue Auguste-Langlois (named around 1960 after one of the first fishermen in the area), formerly called Rue des Pêcheurs (1840) and then Rue de la Croix (1860, the date of its concrete construction). In 1953, a major volcanic eruption took place. To ward off the fires of La Fournaise, the people of Terre-Sainte implored Notre-Dame-du-Bon-Port and built a covered oratory next to the cross. Since then, one has watched over it, the other guides it.

Lübeck is famous for its marzipan, and we visited the Marzipan Museum there. Here, for your edification, is the largest set of sculptures ever created in Marzipan. Life size. But... why?
Lorsque l'on traverse le petit pont qui enjambe la rivière, on découvre les vestiges du bagne. La végétation sauvage a eu raison de leur édification et s'est emparée de ce qui pouvait l'être. L'arbre est un banian étrangleur.

Le projet d'édifier une mosquée à la Réunion date du début des années 1890. Il est le fait de commerçants originaires du Gujarat arrivés dans l'île deux ou trois décennies auparavant en provenance notamment de Surat. Le 20 avril 1892, six d'entre eux (agissant au nom d'environ 120 autres) acquièrent un immeuble au 111, rue du Grand-Chemin, devenue depuis rue du Maréchal-Leclerc. Il servira de lieu de culte informel pendant dix ans. En 1897, le gouverneur Beauchamp autorise l'édification d'une mosquée à cette adresse. Financée par une caisse alimentée par une somme forfaitaire prélevée sur les bénéfices des commerçants impliqués, sa construction selon les plans d'un ingénieur indien dure sept ans. Inaugurée le 28 novembre 1905, soit 21 ans avant celle de Paris, sa façade principale fait 15 mètres de long et la salle de prière peut contenir 150 fidèles. En 1960, des travaux d'agrandissement sont entrepris après acquisition d'une parcelle mitoyenne. Le nouveau bâtiment, inauguré le 3 août 1962, est partiellement ravagé par un incendie probablement déclenché par un court-circuit à l'étage d'un local commercial voisin le 12 octobre 1974. La façade en bois brûle complètement. La communauté musulmane de Saint-Denis se mobilise à nouveau pour financer de nouveaux travaux. Doté d'une façade commerciale longue de 38 mètres de long, le nouveau bâtiment est livré en 1979. La photo ci-dessus le représente donc peu de temps après son ouverture.
The project to build a mosque in Reunion dates from the early 1890s. It is the work of traders from Gujarat who arrived on the island two or three decades ago from Surat. On April 20, 1892, six of them (acting on behalf of about 120 others) acquired a building at 111, rue du Grand-Chemin, which had since become rue du Maréchal-Leclerc. It will serve as an informal place of worship for ten years. In 1897, Governor Beauchamp authorized the construction of a mosque at this address. Funded by a fund fed by a lump sum levied on the profits of traders involved, its construction according to the plans of an Indian engineer lasts seven years. Inaugurated on November 28, 1905, 21 years before that of Paris, its main facade is 15 meters long and the prayer room can hold 150 people. In 1960, expansion works are undertaken after acquisition of a semi-detached plot. The new building, inaugurated on August 3, 1962, is partially ravaged by a fire probably triggered by a short circuit on the floor of a nearby commercial space on October 12, 1974. The wooden facade burns completely. The Muslim community of Saint-Denis is mobilizing again to finance new work. With a commercial facade of 38 meters long, the new building is delivered in 1979. The photo above represents it not much time after its opening.

Le château de Chambord est un château français situé dans la commune de Chambord.
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.
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 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.

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.

Esterházy Palace (Kärntner Straße)
Palais Esterházy
The Palais Esterházy at the Kärntner Straße is a palace in the first Viennese district Innere Stadt. It is the oldest building at the Kärntner Straße and is still owned by the Esterházy family.
History
There were originally at the present site of the Palais two different houses which were not until the beginning of the 15th Century merged. In 1684 this estate came into the possession of the Imperial Council Adam Anthony Grundemann of Falkenberg. Whose son finally commissioned the edification of today's palace. The palace remained until 1767 in the family possession of the Grundeman, in 1716 elevated into the rank of count. Then it came by purchase into the possession of Hofkammerrat (Court Chamber Counsellor) Franz Freiherr von Harrucker.
In the years 1777-1871, the palace belonged to the Counts Károly. At this time there was a redesign of the facade to the present form and the installation of a balcony under Josefa Countess Karoly. Other minor alterations were made in 1833. The entrance is located at the main front (side Anna alley) with the coat of arms cartouche of the Esterhazys. Originally the palace had a courtyard but which was later expanded to the upper floor. In 1871, the palace finally through the purchase of the property by Moritz Graf Esterházy from Alois Count Károly passed into the possession of the Esterházy family. The Count then the inside of the palace had remodelled. On 25 January 1968, this was almost completely destroyed by fire. After the repair and reconstruction works was finally opened the Cercle Casino Vienna in 1969. This was many times augmented and can still be found in the palace. From the former facilities in the Empire style only a few fragments are still present. The majority of the premises is now decorated with contemporary art.

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.

Wallace fountains are public drinking fountains designed by Charles-Auguste Lebourg that appear in the form of small cast-iron sculptures scattered throughout the city of Paris, France, mainly along the most-frequented sidewalks. They are named after the Englishman Richard Wallace, who financed their construction. A great aesthetic success, they are recognized worldwide as one of the symbols of Paris.

Les fontaines Wallace sont des points d'eau potable publics qui se présentent sous la forme de petits édicules en fonte présents dans plusieurs villes dans le monde. C'est à Paris qu'elles furent implantées en premier et qu'on en trouve le plus grand nombre. Elles tiennent leur nom du philanthrope britannique Richard Wallace qui finança leur édification. D'une grande réussite esthétique, elles sont reconnues dans le monde entier comme un des symboles de Paris.
