The launch of the collection begins with a handcrafted, chic interpretation of natural glass. The Holiday 2011 collection features Tektite, Aquamarine, Pyrite, African Turquoise, Peridot Jasper, Paula Shells and Green Aventurine, a Stone Savant staple. Impeccably designed with 18-carat gold closures, and a signature SSJ clasp, the holiday collection is an infectious edification of design and architecture. As crisp as the Los Angeles ocean tide and sunset air, the collection is clear and concise, dedicated to the discerning fashionista, with a sense of class, style and exclusivity.

We visited our accountant's offfice again today to pick up our completed tax returns. (April 15th is income tax day here in the US).
Our accountant (who fancies himself as a hunter), hunts big game, medium game, small game, and basically anything on four legs that moves. These two sad looking pronghorns are in his entrance lobby.
Here for your delight & edification is more info on these critters:
The Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) is a species of artiodactyl mammal endemic to interior western and central North America. Though not an antelope, it is often known colloquially in North America as the Prong Buck, Pronghorn Antelope, or simply Antelope, as it closely resembles the true antelopes of the Old World and fills a similar ecological niche due to convergent evolution. It is the only surviving member of the family.
It can run exceptionally fast, being built for maximum predator evasion through running, and is generally accepted to be the fastest land mammal in the New World. The top speed is very hard to measure accurately and varies between individuals; it is variously cited as up to 70 km/h, 72 km/h, or 86 km/h.It is often cited as the second-fastest land animal, second only to the cheetah.It can, however, sustain high speeds longer than cheetahs.
So now you know.

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.

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.

Also in my trip to Rome, behind the ruins, there is the Monumento nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II. Great edification! Giving all with my 18-55mm Canon.
