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.
Le cimetière chinois de Nolette est un cimetière situé le territoire de la commune française de Noyelles-sur-Mer où sont inhumés les travailleurs civils chinois employés par l'armée britannique pendant la Première Guerre mondiale.
Il s'agit du plus grand cimetière chinois de France et d'Europe
Pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, Noyelles abrita une importante base arrière britannique dont un grand camp de coolies (travailleurs immigrés chinois). Ils furent recrutés par l'armée britannique entre 1917 et 1919 dans le cadre du corps de travailleurs chinois (en anglais, Chinese Labour Corps), pour des tâches de manutention à l'arrière du front mais certains connaitront les zones de combat.
Ils représentent l'une des premières immigrations chinoises en France. Ils avaient l'interdiction de se mêler à la population civile du lieu. Certains resteront en France après la Grande Guerre.

Ils étaient affectés à des tâches pénibles et dangereuses comme le terrassement de tranchées, le ramassage des soldats morts sur le champ de bataille, le déminage des terrains reconquis, la blanchisserie, les services de santé auprès des malades, en particulier ceux atteints de la grippe espagnole...
En 1921, le gouvernement britannique décida l'édification du cimetière chinois à Nolette. Le Major Truelove est chargé de sa réalisation sous l'autorité d'Edwin Lutyens.
Depuis 2002, le cimetière de Nolette est le lieu de célébration de la Fête de Qing Ming (Fête des Morts chinoise) en France organisée par le Conseil pour l'intégration des communautés d'origine chinoise en France.
On trouve dans le département de la Somme des tombes de coolies dans les cimetières d'Abbeville, Albert, Daours, Gézaincourt, Tincourt-Boucly et Villers-Carbonnel.
Propriété de l'État français et gérée par la Commonwealth War Graves Commission, la nécropole située près du hameau de Nolette dans la commune de Noyelles-sur-Mer a été inaugurée en 1921 par le Préfet de la Somme. 849 travailleurs chinois sont inhumés à Noyelles-sur-Mer. La plupart travaillait au camp chinois de l'armée britannique situé sur la commune entre 1917 et 1919.

Beaucoup sont morts d'une épidémie de choléra qui a sévi dans le camp, de la grippe espagnole en 1918-1919 ou de la tuberculose, voire tués dans les zones de combat.
Le site est caractérisée par le portail d'entrée, les inscriptions sur les tombes et les essences d'arbres (pins, cèdres...) qu'on ne rencontre pas dans les autres cimetières du Commonwealth ainsi que par l'absence de croix du Sacrifice et de pierre du Souvenir.
Les tombes de ce cimetière sont constituées de 849 stèles en marbre blanc, avec sur chacune d'elle gravée une inscription en anglais « Faithful unto Death » ou « Though dead he still liveth » ou encore « A good reputation endures for ever » ainsi que des idéogrammes chinois et parfois, très rarement, le nom en anglais ou le matricule du défunt.
Le porche monumental et le mur de l'entrée tiennent lieu de mémorial pour la quarantaine de Chinois morts sur terre ou sur mer sans tombes connues.
Des statues de lions offerts par la République populaire de Chine sont situées, non loin de la nécropole, à l'entrée de la rue qui mène au cimetière de Nolette

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.

The oldest documented structure surviving in the City of Petersburg, Old Blandford Church preserves an important, if difficult, history for its region. Bristol Parish was established by an Act of Assembly in 1643, separated from Martins Brandon Parish. At the time that the present brick church was built in 1735, Bristol Parish had grown to over 2,000 parishioners only to suddenly decline when two new parishes were erected within its former boundaries. Construction of the new parish church at Blandford was completed in two years, a brick church of Georgian design laid in Flemish bond with glazed headers and oriented on an east-west axis. Entrance to the church was permitted through a large door on the west end and a smaller on placed on the south side of the altar near the east end. The parish church was designed and built by Thomas Ravenswood at a cost of 485 pounds and was believed to have been modeled on Merchant's Hope Church in nearby Hopewell.
Soon after the completion of the Bristol Parish Church, the congregation witnessed a sermon by Rev. George Whitfield, an early Methodist evangelist whose tour of the English colonies in North America was the culmination of the first Great Awakening.
Given its location on the Appomattox River, Petersburg developed quickly to become a prosperous port town. Bristol Parish grew to the extent that he vestry ordered the addition of a wing to the north side of the parish church in 1752. The work was overseen by Col. Richard Bland and took several years to complete. The final payment of 400 pounds for the work was made by the vestry in 1767. In addition to the north wing of the church, a brick wall was erected around the churchyard which remains intact today.
Services continued to be held at Blandford Church through the disestablishment, but the continued growth of Petersburg led to the removal of the congregation to a new church built in the downtown. By 1806, the old parish church was abandoned and in 1818, the building was sold to John Grammer who in turn donated the church along with much of the surrounding land to the city for use as a cemetery. During the Civil War, Old Blandford Church was used as a telegraph station and was hit by at least three shells during the siege of the city in 1864/65.
In 1889, the Ladies Memorial Association began its connection with the property, purchasing pews and a podium to accommodate public speaking engagements within the church which the city had restored a few years earlier. In 1901, the building was transferred to the association which proceeded to convert the church into a memorial for Confederate soldiers. The Ladies Memorial Association solicited funds from the former Confederate states to procure Tiffany stained glass windows for the church. These windows were installed and dedicated in 1912 in a ceremony that came during the height of southern edification and "Lost Cause" mythology that increased post-Reconstruction tension between white and African American populations in the United States and a rise in hate crimes and Jim Crow discrimination.
For visitors today, Old Blandford Church should stand as a paradox. The ancient brick walls and elegant wall surrounding the aged stones of its churchyard instill a deep sense of history. This beauty stands in sharp contrast as one walks by Confederate battle flags and views windows which glorify rebellion against the United States for the sake of an abhorrent institution. This provocative juxtaposition leaves one with deep questions upon exiting the churchyard at Old Blandford.

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.

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.

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.
"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!

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.
