Les fontaines Wallace sont des points d’eau potable publics qui se présentent sous la forme de petits édicules en fonte. Dessinées par Charles-Auguste Lebourg, elles tiennent leur nom de Richard Wallace, le philanthrope britannique qui finança leur édification. Elles sont souvent associées par les étrangers à l'image de Paris où elles furent implantées en premier et qu’on en trouve le plus en France. Celle-ci fut d'ailleurs offerte par la ville de Paris.
Wallace fountains are public drinking water points in the form of small cast iron kiosks. Designed by Charles-Auguste Lebourg, they take their name from Richard Wallace, the British philanthropist who financed their construction. They are often associated by foreigners with the image of Paris where they were first established and that we find most in France. Moreover, this one was offered by the city of Paris.

Besides the soul enrichment and edification of being in the greater outdoors, I am often impressed with what I learn watching and photographing wildlife. In this case, I had no idea that otters eat octopus. This otter was getting food from under a dock, then swimming out from the dock to eat. Attendant is a first year Western Gull (Larus occidentalis) awaiting scraps of food that often drift away from feeding otters. Morro Bay, CA

If this were next year I'd have totally bought this...alas though, I do not "need" a 1 speed bike right now, no matter how precious it may be :*( (I guess it might have been the kick-back 2-speed version but I didn't check as it would have only made it that much more tempting...)
I hope someone else fell in love with it and bought it to ride...a sweet bike like this shouldn't just sit.

13 March 2011 - The Barefoot Carmelitan friars (Scalzi) acquired the land in 1646 and in 1660 began the edification of this church dedicated to Santa Maria di Nazareth.
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.
fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Château_de_Chambord
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.

I took a short flight from Kayenta, Arizona in my little airplane this afternoon/evening. All these sights (Raplee, San Juan River, Muley Point) are within 40 air-miles of Kayenta. Raplee Ridge (near Mexican Hat, Utah) is fascinating, so pardon the repetition; I couldn't quickly decide which ones were the very best. A few obviously (to me) aren't the best, but they show a wider view of the formation, for your edification.

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.

Little Ayasofya - Sightseeing in Istanbul Turkey – Historical City Straddling Two Continents
Little Hagia Sophia (Turkish: Küçuk Ayasofya Camii), formerly the Church of the Saints Sergius and Bacchus, is a former Eastern Orthodox church converted into a mosque by the Ottomans. It lies in Istanbul, in the district of Eminönü and in the neighbourhood of Kumkapi, at a short distance from the Marmara Sea, near the former Emperors' Palace and South of the Hippodrome. It is now separated from the sea by the railway line Sirkeci-Halkali and the coast road.
The edifice was built between the years 527 and 536 AD (some years before the erection of Hagia Sophia), during the reign of Justinian, as Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus. The place chosen for the new church was an irregular area between the palace of Hormisdas (the house of Justinian before his accession to the throne) and the Church of the Saints Peter and Paul. The two Churches shared then the same Narthex, atrium and propylaea.The new chuch became the center of the complex, and still today survives in the south side the north wall of one of the two other edifices. The church was one among the most important in Constantinople.
Due to the strong resemblance with Hagia Sophia, it is believed that the building has been designed by the same architects, namely Isidorus of Miletus and Anthemius of Tralles, and that its edification was a kind of "dress rehearsal" for that of the largest church of the Byzantine Empire.
After the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in 1453, the church remained untouched until the reign of Bayezid II. Then it was transformed in a mosque by Hüseyin Agha, the chef of the Aghas, which were the custodians of Bab-i-saadet ("The Gate of happiness" in Turkish) in the Sultan's Palace. At that time the portico and a Madrasah have been added to the building, while the mosaics which adorned the church were destroyed.
Some years ago the edifice, because of the heavy damages caused along its life by humidity and earthquakes, had been added to the UNESCO Watchlist of the endangered monuments. After an extensive restoration lasted several years and ended in September 2006, it has been opened again to the public.
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.

THE MOTHER CHURCH OF BARCELOS
The edification of this church was ordered by D. Pedro, the 3rd Count of Barcelos, whose coat of arms is engraved in the archivolts of the main portal; its construction began between 1325 and 1328, but the works continued until 1382.

The Palace of the Courts of Justice of Santiago de Chile is the building that houses the Supreme Court of Chile , the Santiago Appeals Court and Court Martial of Army , Air Force and Carabineros . The building was built in two stages between 1905 and 1930 . The construction of a new building for the operation of the courts of Santiago was driven by the government of President Federico Errazuriz Echaurren ( 1896 - 1901 ). For your edification class was estimated investment of 1,000,000 pesos of time , calling contest on March 24 of 1900 . The project design corresponded to architect French Emilio Doyere.
Taken from the citadel that sits above Aleppo city centre.
One of the hardest things for me to adapt to was the physical environment of the cities. Outwith the astonishing, biblical era streets that lay at the heart of Aleppo and Damascus was a seemingly unplanned, uncared for warren of high rise blocks and dusty apartments. There was sadly very little positive to say about these environments. They were congested, noise, dirty and seemed to serve only to magnify the heat by giving you nowhere to hide.
Damascus and Aleppo both vie to be the BIGGEST Syrian city, and thus, one of the biggest in the middle east but this competitiveness and some of then institutional issues that affect the governance of these countries meant that this led to an unfettered, and some would say, corrupt urban sprawl that did little in the way of edification.

Pages 4-5 of "Toby Tickle's Puzzling-Cap", published by James Lumsden & Son, Glasgow. Superior Edition of Penny Books.
This chapbook, as the Victorian phrasing "puzzling cap" indicated to 19th-century readers, is a collection of riddles. Intended for the entertainment and edification of especially young children, the riddles are short and simply phrased.
These pages comprise one riddle each: "A Mask" on page 4, "A Barrel of Beer" on page 5. The title already discloses the solution of the riddles given below in verse. They are thus meant to be learned and told to others, rather than being a challenge to the juvenile reader of the chapbook.
Each riddle features an illustration, which also gives away its solution. The small, rectangular framed image on each page is surrounded on left and right by decorative elements, mainly to fill out the margin space. The object depicted is rendered clearly and enlarged to fill out the frame. No background distracts the eye. These images add clarity and give memorability to the verse.

"THE MORPHEUS DEVICE" is the World's first CREDIBLE, PRACTICAL, and yet SIMPLE design of a COMPACT instrumentality for RECORDING Human nocturnal DREAMS, in REAL-TIME! This is NO cockamamie 'RUBE GOLDBERG DREADLOCKS MACHINE', folks --- with scores of unkempt electrodes and wires DANGLING from one's snoozing NOGGIN! Indeed, "THE MORPHEUS DEVICE" elaborates the only FEASIBLE way our nightly dreams can be easily, accurately, and rapidly RECORDED in maximum, full-color, HD resolution, FOR ALL TIME. And then PLAYED-BACK at one's leisure for PROFOUND emotional, psychological, intellectual, philosophical, spiritual, artistic, and even political EDIFICATION and INSPIRATION on an EPOCHAL scale! And for a mere $25,000,000 (USD), you can PURCHASE outright ALL ownership, design, reproduction, publishing, manufacturing, sales, TV, cable, screenplay, movie, Hollywood, Netflix, Disney, Amazon, Internet, pod-casting, Blockchain, and otherwise LEGAL RIGHTS to the watershed "THE MORPHEUS DEVICE" (Dream Recording Machine) Invention Proposal. (See Proposal, Pg. 37.) In the proverbial Final Analysis, "THE MORPHEUS DEVICE" --- vis-à-vis exploiting our RETINAS (vs. 'GREY MATTER') to record nightly DREAMS --- is both figuratively AND literally the biggest 'NO-Brainer' in the History of MANKIND, TECHNOLOGY, and SCIENCE to boot! Thank you, and PLEASANT nightmares to all!
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.
