Saint-Stephen Cathedral Metz, France, 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 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 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.
The edification of Saint-Stephen of Metz took place on an Ancient site from the 5th century. 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.

Welcome to the University singers Barden of Vienna
We bards are a fraternity, and namely one of the oldest at the Vienna University grounds with a tradition of 150 years now. Among our members we can count numerous public figures, so among other things, the famous surgeon Theodor Billroth, the composer Johannes Brahms, Max Bruch, Anton Bruckner and Richard Wagner and the former Chancellor Johann Schober.
We have joy on choral singing and we sing because it gives us pleasure and spiritual edification. We are a community of, in all material aspects, like-minded people, a community that deals with the problems of our time, but by doing so without playing party politics, and we endeavor to maintain our Western culture and traditions, which alone could bring our country the significance that it has today.
In 2008, the university fraternity of singers bards of Vienna was celebrating its 150th anniversary!
Willkommen bei der Universitäts-Sängerschaft Barden zu Wien
Wir Barden sind eine Studentenverbindung, und zwar eine der ältesten auf dem Wiener Hochschulboden mit einer Tradition von nun 150 Jahren. Zu unseren Mitgliedern dürfen wir zahlreiche Persönlichkeiten des öffentlichen Lebens zählen, so u.a. den bekannten Chirurgen Theodor Billroth, die Komponisten Johannes Brahms, Max Bruch, Anton Bruckner und Richard Wagner und den ehemaligen Bundeskanzler Johannes Schober.
Wir haben Freude am Chorgesang und singen, weil es uns Vergnügen und geistige Erbauung bereitet. Wir sind eine Gemeinschaft von, in wesentlichen weltanschaulichen Belangen, Gleichgesinnten, eine Gemeinschaft, die sich mit den Problemen unserer Zeit auseinandersetzt, ohne dabei Parteipolitik zu betreiben, und bemüht ist, unsere abendländische Kultur und Tradition aufrechtzuerhalten, die allein unserem Land jene Bedeutung bringen konnte, die es heute hat.
2008 feierte die Universitäts-Sängerschaft Barden zu Wien ihr 150-jähriges Bestehen!
Un gran ejemplo de como se han ido deteriorando algunas edificaciones en Guatemala pero que igual dan gran vista a la ciudad.
Esta una de las pocas edificaciones que quedan en Guatemala con el europeo arte Nouveau.
A great example of how some buildings are deteriorate but they also give a great vista to the city.
This is one of the few edifications that left in Guatemala with the european art Nouveau.

I cannot begin to identifty everything wrong with this avatar. This person was rezzed in I believe 2007. The freebie Alienbear jewelry blinged like mad, her ass was eating her rainbow skirt, her weird eyes scare me, and that freaky shoulder fairy never rezzed a face no matter how long I waited. I almost couldn't believe my eyes when I saw her. I cammed to follow her across the sim trying to get this shot 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.

The Guadeloupe Regional Council has built the MEMORIAL ACTe, a Caribbean Centre on the Expression and Memory of Slavery & the Slave Trade in Pointe à Pitre, in the former Darboussier factory.
Through knowledge, culture and creation, it is a means by which the local authorities can contribute towards healing wounds of a past which has greatly impacted the edification of not only the Guadeloupean society, but also the Caribbean and American societies.

A Bald Eagle soars with a small piece of salmon that it got out of the water to enjoy in the safetly of the trees.. The American Bald Eagle converges on the sleepy town of Haines, Alaska, each fall. Thousands of eagles will flock to the Chilkat River to feed on its late Salmon run.
The leaf of this Eastern tree
Which has been entrusted to my garden
Offers a feast of secret significance,
For the edification of the initiate.
Is it one living thing
That has become divided within itself?
Are these two who have chosen each other,
So that we know them as one?
I think I have found the right answer
To these questions;
Do my songs not make you feel
That I am both one and twain?
~Johann Wolfgang v. Goethe
En pleins Pyrénées se trouve le spectaculaire espace du Paysage Protégé de Saint Jean de la Peña et du Monte Oroel, et entre ses éléments plus remarquables on peut trouver le Vieux Monastère de San Juan de la Peña, trésor de l´époque médiévale. Les édifications conservées, seulement une part de celles qui existèrent, sont des excellents témoins des successives formes artistiques des différentes époques dans lesquelles ce centre eût de la vie. À souligner surtout les siècles de l´Époque Romane (du XIe au XIIIe siècle) avec des remarquables œuvres d´architecture, de peinture et surtout de sculpture. L´ensemble historique artistique de San Juan de la Peña se complète avec le Nouveau Monastère, du XVIIe siècle et avec les églises de Saint Caprasio et Sainte Marie, toutes les deux de la période romane et situées dans la localité prochaine de Santa Cruz de la Serós.
El monasterio está formado por dos construcciones, el Monasterio Nuevo, del siglo XVII y estilo barroco, y el Monasterio Viejo, del siglo X, de estilo románico.
Tiene su origen en una iglesia eremítica sobre la que se erigió el monasterio, en el siglo X, edificándose primero la denominada Iglesia Baja, de estilo mozárabe, que fue consagrada en el 920. Sancho el Mayor de Navarra fundó un nuevo centro en el año 1025. Se construyó una nueva iglesia de estilo románico. En el siglo XV se construyó la capilla de San Victorián y, en el siglo XVII, tras un incendio, se hubo de reconstruir el monasterio, adoptando, esta vez, el estilo barroco. Si bien lo más importante es el maravilloso Claustro románico que es el que atrae a los visitantes.
