The voice you're hearing in the background is a virtual tai chi instructor walking you through a move; there are also basketball and hip hop modes on the installation. I am being lame and walking back and forth because it turns out, astonishingly, that I am not coordinated enough to do tai chi and hold my camera at the same time.
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.

July 11, 2023 - "Biester Palace is located in the heart of Sintra, being a part of the lavish scenic landscape which enabled the village to become the famous world capital of Romanticism.
Erected in the last decades of the 19th century, the building was designed by the firts portuguese architect José Luiz Monteiro, and decorated by the best artists of the period, namely Luigi Manini and Leandro de Souza Braga, amongst others. The wealth of stylistic influences it exhibits results in a whole of great historical and artistic importance, perfectly merging with the Romantic spirit of the surrounding landscape, whilst simultaneously asserting as a great expression of late century modernity, highlighted by a leading functional approach, and by the audacity of its decorative programme.
The Palace is surrounded by the majestic Biester Park, a true Eden of rare and exuberant arboreal species, brilliantly conceived by French landscapist François Nogré, in which the dewy verdant areas and watercourses flourish, moreover favoured by the existence of two magnificent viewpoints from where it is possible to sight the Moors Castle, or enjoy a stunning view all the way through to the sea.
But Biester universe is much more than the eyes can reach, with a history full of secrets, and a mysterious, captivating spiritual dimension. All the events conducting to its edification, especially of the Chapel and the Library, are enclosed in intricate and profound mysticism, where art and religion meet in most peculiar and unexpected ways, constructing a path with themes as intriguing as the Knights Templar, Rome and Christendom, or even through esoteric connections to the spheres of Occultism. More than an historical monument, Biester Palace is a mysterious adventure in a fascinating and little explored cultural labyrinth – let us discover it."

I almost cut my head off shaving this morning. That's what I get for buying cheap razors. Those Fusion blades are nice, but so is the price.
So I took a picture of how my cuts made feel. Then I photoshopped the cuts, and razor-burn, off of myself and I submit them both here for your edification.

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.

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 eremÃtica 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.
