St Athernase Church is a Romanesque church located in Leuchars, Fife, Scotland. It is a Category A listed building and remains in use as a Church of Scotland parish church.
The chancel and half-round apse date from the 12th century with the exterior featuring blind arcades with typical Norman arches. The church was granted by Ness son of William, Lord of Leuchars, to the canons of St Andrews in 1185. Around 1700 a belfry was added, and in 1858 restoration was carried out to the nave.
The church is open to the public in summer, at other times by arrangement. Relics preserved inside include part of a 9th-century cross-slab found near the village (closely comparable to the large collection at St Andrews Cathedral), and three elaborate 16th century memorial stones of the Bruce's of Earlshall, the local lairds. One of the latter shows a full length figure of a woman, naïve in execution, but valuable in documenting contemporary dress.
The oft-mentioned dedication of the medieval church of Leuchars to St Athernase is actually an error. It arises from a nineteenth-century misreading of a list of church dedications in the Register of St Andrews Priory, a medieval manuscript now in the National Archives of Scotland. Folio 155v. has a list of churches dedicated, or re-dedicated, by bishop David de Bernham of St Andrews in the 1240s. The eighth church in this list is 'ecclesia sancti Johannis euangeliste et sancti Athernisci confessoris de Losceresch (the church of St John the evangelist and St Athernase the confessor). However the church of Losceresch is not the church of Leuchars, which in medieval sources is spelt Lochris, Locres etc., but the parish church of Lathrisk (now Kettle parish in Fife), whose early spellings are Losresc (1170s), Loseresch, Losseresc (1227) and such like. Athernase is the patron saint not of Leuchars but of Lathrisk.
The patron of Leuchars is not known for certain, but some medieval sources indicate a local cult of St Bonoc, a name unknown outside the parish of Leuchars, and a chapel of St Bonoc, complete with chaplain, is known to have existed.
"Athernase" may be an anglicised form of the name Itharnán, found also in Fife at Kilrenny, and on the Isle of May, an Irish missionary who "died among the Picts" in 669 according to the Annals of Ulster.
On 24 July 1911, a young American explorer called Hiram Bingham discovered the lost city of Machu Picchu. According to historians, the city probably had been abandoned by the inhabitants fearing the Spanish invasion. The Spanish left the ruins alone because the last Inca bastion was in Vilcabamba and not in Machu Picchu. None of the archeologists agree on the exact nature of the lost city. The two primary views are that it was a royal retreat or that it was an important religious place during the Inca period, The only unanimous agreement is that it is one of the most spectacular finds of the 20th century. The Incas truly excelled in their architectural design and execution in creating the city of Machu Picchu. Surrounded by awe inspiring mountains with rich and exuberant vegetation, the location is very enigmatic and impressive.
Omdat ik in de uitvoering van deze deurkruk een duidelijke verwijzing vond naar vroeger, heb ik deze close-up gemaakt. Daarbij nog een stuk van de voordeur meegenomen om de zeer slechte staat van deze boerderij in de buurt van Lochem en Vorden aan te tonen. De afbladderende verf is hier goed zichtbaar. Druk op de 'L' toets voor de vergroting.
Because I found a clear reference to the past in the execution of this door handle, I made this close-up. Also included a piece of the front door to demonstrate the very poor condition of this farm near Lochem and Vorden. The peeling paint is clearly visible here. Press the 'L' key for the magnification.

The word sail, a monument to poetry, is the name of a steel sculpture by Heinrich Popp.
The sculpture stands on an open field northwest of Sotzweiler, the birthplace of the sculptor and today a district of the Saarland municipality of Tholey in the district of St. Wendel. On an elevation of about 338 metres above NHN, the sculpture represents a landmark visible from afar.
The word sail consists of two sail-shaped triangles, one of which stands on the top and which are twisted against each other. The two halves of the sail, made of stainless steel, are welded together at their highest point. At the same time, the empty space between the two steel plates also has a sail-like shape, depending on the point of view.
The monument, a gift from Heinrich Popp to his home community, was erected in 2005 after several years of planning and execution. The two steel plates were cast in the Dillinger Hütte and rolled to a thickness of 3 cm. The sculpture has a height of 13 meters and a total weight of approx. 30 tons.
The term word sail is also the name of a writing and poetry competition initiated by the artist at participating schools in Saarland.

Das Wortsegel, ein Denkmal für Poesie, ist der Name einer Stahlplastik von Heinrich Popp.
Die Skulptur steht auf offenem Feld nordwestlich von Sotzweiler, dem Geburtsort des Bildhauers und heute ein Ortsteil der saarländischen Gemeinde Tholey im Landkreis St. Wendel. Auf einer Anhöhe von etwa 338 Metern über NHN stellt die Plastik eine weithin sichtbare Landmarke dar.
Das Wortsegel besteht aus zwei jeweils segelförmigen Dreiecken, von denen eins auf der Spitze steht und die gegeneinander verdreht/verspiegelt aufgestellt sind. An ihrer obersten Stelle sind die beiden aus rostendem Stahl erschaffenen Segelhälften miteinander verschweißt. Gleichzeitig besitzt auch der sich zwischen den beiden Stahlplatten befindende leere Raum abhängig vom Betrachtungsstandpunkt ebenfalls eine segelähnliche Form.
Das Denkmal, ein Geschenk von Heinrich Popp an seine Heimatgemeinde, wurde nach mehrjähriger Planungs- und Ausführungsphase 2005 errichtet. Die beiden Stahlplatten wurden in der Dillinger Hütte gegossen und bis auf eine Stärke von 3 cm gewalzt. Die Skulptur hat eine Höhe von 13 Metern und besitzt ein Gesamtgewicht von ca. 30 Tonnen
Der Begriff Wortsegel ist gleichzeitig der Name eines von dem Künstler ins Leben gerufenen Schreib- und Lyrikwettbewerbs an teilnehmenden Schulen im Saarland.

The remains of an old farm weather on as the gleam of a new windfarm shines all around it.The Ohio,IL. was one of the first in our area,the problems encountered with it have slowed construction on new windfarms in the area.The idea is good,the execution not so much...
Have a great windmill(and wind turbine) Wednesday all!
The castle was built by the Venetians in the early 13th c entury. It is among the largest castles in the Mediterranean area. At the south edge of the castle a fortified islet floats. Bourtzi, as it is called, a prison and place of executions during the Turkish Occupation, was built in 1500 and is connected to the Sea Gate of the castle with a paved tiny road.
Berceau de la dynastie des Romanov
Le monastère fut fondé vers 1330 par un Tatar converti, le prince Tchet, ancêtre de Boris Godounov.
De 1433 à 1435, le grand-duc Vassili II, chassé du trône de Moscou par son oncle Youri de Zvenigorod, est relégué à Ipatiev pour régner sur la ville voisine de Kostroma. À l'époque, le monastère, réservé aux hommes, est un important centre d'enseignement.
La dynastie royale des Romanov a commencé avec le rite de l'appel au royaume dans le monastère Ipatiev et s'est terminée par l'exécution de la famille royale dans la maison Ipatiev (à Ekaterinbourg).
Колыбель династии Романовых
Согласно поздней легенде, монастырь основан около 1330 года татарским мурзою Четом, родоначальником рода Годуновых и Сабуровых, бежавшим из Золотой Орды к Ивану Калите и принявшим в Москве крещение под именем Захария.
Царская династия Романовых началась обрядом призвания на царство в Ипатьевском монастыре и закончилась расстрелом царской семьи в Ипатьевском же доме (в Екатеринбурге).
Some ideas are better in my head than in the actual execution. I guess that is why I keep working at it every day. How is it that some days I feel like I've never picked up a camera before or edited an image? Hoping your rainbows are easing to conquer than mine were today.
The former seat of the medieval tsars, it hosts the remains of more than 400 houses, 18 churches, the royal palace, an execution rock and more.

Construido en 1575, en honor al Doctor Vallés, médico de Felipe II. Es de estilo herreriano con decoración renacentista. Fue archivo de documentación, pero en el siglo XVIII perdió su funcion, ya que todo fue trasladado al archivo de Simancas. Hoy acoge la oficina de Informacion y Turismo, la Bibioteca municipal y una sala de Exposiciones.
www.covarrubias.es/lugares-de-interes/archivo-del-adelant...
Built in 1575, in honor of Doctor Vallés, doctor of Felipe II. It is in the Herrerian style with Renaissance decoration. It was a documentation archive, but in the 18th century it lost its function, since everything was transferred to the Simancas archive. Today it houses the Information and Tourism Office, the Municipal Library and an Exhibition Hall.
Se ubica en la localidad burgalesa de Covarrubias, en Castilla y León. Fue construido en la segunda mitad del siglo XVI y restaurado en 1963, incrustado en las murallas, de las que en adelante fue puerta norte y que a su vez le sirvieron de estribo. A mediados del siglo XVIII desaparecieron los pocos restos que aún quedaban en aquel lado.
Tiene forma de prisma pétreo de base rectangular, tres alturas con ventanas renacentistas, notable rejería, gran escudo en el centro y contrafuertes en esquinas y junto al arco de entrada. Traza y proyecto se deben a Juan de Herrera, ejecución a Juan de Vallejo, quien aportó detalles platerescos.
El edificio, que fue declarado monumento histórico-artístico el 13 de julio de 1961 y cuenta en la actualidad con el estatus de Bien de Interés Cultural.
Está también incluido dentro del área delimitada como Bien de Interés Cultural, en la categoría de conjunto histórico, de la localidad.
es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archivo_del_Adelantamiento_de_Castilla
It is located in the Burgos town of Covarrubias, in Castilla y León. It was built in the second half of the 16th century and restored in 1963, embedded in the walls, of which from now on it was a north gate and which in turn served as a stirrup. In the middle of the 18th century, the few remains that still remained on that side disappeared.
It is shaped like a stone prism with a rectangular base, three floors with Renaissance windows, a remarkable grille, a large shield in the center and buttresses in the corners and next to the entrance arch. Layout and project are due to Juan de Herrera, execution to Juan de Vallejo, who contributed Plateresque details.
The building, which was declared a historical-artistic monument on July 13, 1961 and currently has the status of Asset of Cultural Interest.
It is also included within the area delimited as a Site of Cultural Interest, in the category of historical complex, of the town.
This is another example of having an idea but not being able to get the envisioned execution. So much that can be improved upon but I've taken too much time to work on it today.
For 'Macro Mondays' theme of 'PushPull'
For this week's challenge there were so many choices of subject and so many choices of execution. So I decided to continue in my experimentation with my latest buy, a plastic lens from the 1980s, and for the subject to tell myself again to 'Keep it Simple Stupid', KISS!
I found two contrasting colour rubber bands and 'PULLED' them over a piece of expanded polystyrene sheet that I had as packing from a small parcel - I thought the sheet might come in useful at some time!
A surprisingly amount of time was spent getting twists in the bands and the arranging them at right angles. The composition is a familiar one, but then why not?
Some of the aberations in the lens are pretty obvious, barrel distortion, and fall off in definition from the centre but those add something to the character of the photograph. Obviously I'm still learning what is possible and what isn't!

“Oh no here we go again. He’s finally lost it. Three shots already uploaded from that infernal ridge walk and yet he still manages to find another one to rattle on about!” is what you might be thinking. I’m starting to have the same thoughts myself. It doesn’t help that I’ve done so little photography since that adventure. Ok so there’s a van related wild camp caper on Dartmoor the week before last to report tales of yet to come, but I’m still to work those raw files into shape. The thing is, that afternoon on the high ground of the Brecon Beacons in South Wales brought one composition after another as the landscape gradually revealed new secrets with each phase of the trek. All of them taken with a lens that really deserves a bit more love in return for its efforts. This one brought the peaks of Fan y Big, Cribyn, Pen y Fan and Corn Du into a single frame, with an illuminated bonus foreground designed by the icy architects of this landscape to offset the four dark shrouds behind.
Like so many of us I started out with a modest assembly of tools for my induction into this world that we share. A midrange camera, a couple of reasonably price lenses sourced from your favourite auction site, a cheap tripod, an even cheaper bag and some very inexpensive filters that would be better suited as coasters for tea cups. And then I got carried away – a sorry tale of obsession, a descent of the senses so steep as to be matched only by the plummeting bank balance as a full frame camera and professional lenses were added to the bag, itself replaced by a new model of course. The cheap filters gave way to the same set that Nigel Danson swears by, and then of course a carbon fibre tripod was a must wasn’t it? Not long ago I looked at the collection, did some mental arithmetic, and decided it was best not to mention the final score to my better half, who has far more modest tastes. A new pair of knitting needles is as racy as she gets when it comes to freeing up budget for luxuries. When people take her to task on her innate sense of thrift, with metronomic consistency she replies with “how do you think I managed to retire in my fifties on what I was earning?” She has a point. You become so much wealthier by desiring less in life.
But in that bagful of precious things lies the lens that so often gets overlooked – only really brought into use at moments when lugging the others around is going to prove challenging. I think of it as my adventuring lens. After all I’d have needed a team of sherpas to roll my 100-400mm lens up the first slope of Fan y Big on a series of felled tree trunks if I’d wanted to take it with me. So for long arduous treks, the lightweight lens with the huge focal length gets its day in the sun; and the rain too for that matter. I used it a lot that day as you may already be aware from a surfeit of previous posts. When I uploaded the raw files from the hike onto my computer at home my first reaction was one of enormous disappointment – so many of them were fuzzy and grainy and I found myself heading down the familiarly dangerous route of eBay as I blamed the lens once more for its inadequacies, while stubbornly ignoring my own shortcomings. Misplaced vainglory is such an unattractive web in which to entangle oneself.
Eventually, after much soul searching and further experimenting at 300mm on the tripod in my living room I concluded that the maligned lens was entirely free of blame – it was me who was at fault. I resolved to learn to use it properly and stop poring over alternatives on the internet each time I fail. In fact it went to Dartmoor with me so you’ll be able to judge for yourself which one of us has performance issues to come to terms with in due course. I think we both know already it’s me and not the lens.
I’m sitting at my laptop in the aforementioned van, where the strains of the annual music festival that take place on the estate across the road from us are drifting across the trees towards me on the gentlest of summer evening breaths. It might be Razorlight; it might be Goldie Looking Chain I can hear, but this year the neighbours don’t appear to have been invited to the party in atonement for the interruption to our weekend peace so I’ve really no idea. I’ve moved on from indignation to indifference now. We didn’t really want to go anyway. At least it’s nearly over and it’s Bank Holiday Monday tomorrow with its stay of execution from the real world for one more day.
This might be the last image I post from that ridge walk, but the trouble is there’s at least one more of them jumping up and down in the shadows waving its arms about if I can drag another tale out of the adventure. For now I’ll work harder at familiarising myself with that lens.

"In conceptual art the idea or concept is the most important aspect of the work.
When an artist uses a conceptual form of art, it means that all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair.
The idea becomes a machine that makes the art.”
—Sol LeWitt.
Hope you enjoy? I did making this!

THE BODY PUFFS or Bath lily... (or Body-'scrunchies' as they are also commonly known) are an ex-foliating accessory in the bathroom/shower nowadays...
Made as a 'balled up' design, the material is some sort of netting fabric.
I find that the body puffs make it a more pleasant experience when in the bath or shower as they allow you to achieve a luxurious lather...
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty and thank you for all the support, M, (*_*)

Plaza Mayor
Madrid
Spain
The Plaza Mayor is a central plaza in the city of Madrid, Spain. The Plaza Mayor is only a few blocks away from another famous plaza, the Puerta del Sol. The Plaza Mayor is rectangular in shape, 129 by 94 meters, and is surrounded by three-floored residential buildings with 237 balconies. It has a total of nine entranceways. The Plaza Mayor was built during the Austrian period. The Casa de la Panadería, serving municpal and cultural functions, dominates the Plaza Mayor.
The origins of the Plaza go back to 1581 when Philip II of Spain asked Juan de Herrera, a renowned Renaissance architect, to devise a plan to remodel the busy and chaotic area of the old Plaza del Arrabal. Juan de Herrera was the architect who designed the first project in 1581 to remodel the old Plaza del Arrabal but the construction didn't start until 1617, during the Philip III of Spain's reign. The king asked Juan Gomez de Mora to continue with the project, and he finished the porticoes in 1619. Nevertheless, the Plaza Mayor as we know it today is the work of the architect Juan de Villanueva who was entrusted with its reconstruction in 1790 after a spate of big fires. Juan de Bolonia's statue of Philip III on horseback in the center of the square dates back to 1616.
The name of the plaza has changed over time. Originally it was called the "Plaza del Arrabal" but became known as the "Plaza Mayor".
In 1812, following a decree all the major plazas of Spain were renamed "Plaza de la Constitución". The plaza had this name until 1814 when it became known as the "Plaza Real". The plaza once again held the name "Plaza de la Constitución" in the periods from 1820 to 1823, 1833 to 1835, and 1840 to 1843.
In 1873, the name changed to "Plaza de la República", and then back to "Plaza de la Constitución" from the restoration of Alfonso XII in 1876 to the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera in 1923. A proclamation of the Second Spanish Republic gave the plaza the name of "Plaza de la Constitución" until the end of the Spanish Civil War when the plaza was renamed the "Plaza Mayor," the name it bears to date.
The Plaza Mayor has been the scene of multitudinous events: markets, bullfights, soccer games, public executions, and, during the Spanish Inquistion, "actos de fe" against supposed heretics and the executions of those condemned to death. The Plaza Mayor also has a ring of old and traditional shops and cafes under its porticoes. Celebrations for San Isidro, patron saint of Madrid, are also held here. The Plaza Mayor is now a major tourist attraction, visited by thousands of tourists a year.

King Bart the Odiferous was royally upset that his well-planned wedding was so terribly interrupted. But there was a bright side to his misfortunes. In the pandemonium of the ruined ceremony, his soldiers had managed to capture a single forester outlaw! What luck! King Bart's favorite pastime was watching the executions, and he certainly wasn't going to miss this one. Unfortunately for the king, the rascally foresters don't take too kindly to their comrades being beheaded, and it seems as if they are about to foil his majesty's well-laid plans once again...
Ryan was kind enough to send Steven and I some of his new Executioner pieces, so obviously we had to build a cool scene with em! ;)

With various cells and holdings all across the globe, Aku Corp often find themselves dealing with municipal gangs, whose loyalty is questionable and ulterior motives unknown. Corruption runs deep within these groups, most notoriously inside the Black Lotus, an organization whose reign boasts a sizeable portion of downtown Tokyo. It's use of various businesses as launderers and fronts for black market deals has grown exponentially, catching the eye of local Aku officers.
According to inside sources, the Black Lotus were looking to expand their minature mafia empire, which could most certainly challenge the interests of Aku. Naturally, they sought to eliminate this thorn in their side before it grew into a bushel that could no longer be sheared so easily. The chaos of this new era is far too great to afford any avoidable losses, so therefore the bug is set be squashed under the boot of domination. Power must be asserted, or will otherwise be taken possession of.
With all the heads of the Black Lotus clan rounded up, a ray of eerie red sunlight peeks it's way through the morning smog. As the fog breaks and the sky is revealed, disheveled are each of the former crimelords, now mere shells of men. A small price to pay to avoid what could have been for the Aku Corporation. After all we must be cunning and ruthless in this cruel era; this new World In Darkness.
This is my entry into the world in darkness contest. The schoolyard depicted is that from a concept art piece of the movie Akira.
