Construite sur la partie la plus haute de la ville, la Cathédrale de Porto, également appelée La Sé, est l’édifice religieux le plus important de Porto. Située dans le quartier de Batalha, à côté des murailles qui protégeaient autrefois la ville, l’extérieur de l’édifice ressemble à une forteresse avec ses créneaux.
La colonne torsadée du pilori (Pelourinho) symbolise la puissance de la justice en face de Sé. On peut encore y apercevoir les crochets qui servaient aux exécutions.
Built on the highest part of the city, the Cathedral of Porto, also called La Sé, is the most important religious building in Porto. It is located in the Batalha district, next to the walls that once protected the city. The exterior of the building resembles a fortress with its battlements.
The twisted column of the pillory (Pelourinho) symbolizes the power of justice in front of Sé. You can still see the hooks that were used for executions.

Stitched PanoramaThe Registan was the heart of the ancient city of Samarkand of the Timurid dynasty, now in Uzbekistan. The name Rēgistan means "Sandy place" or "desert" in Persian.
The Registan was a public square, where people gathered to hear royal proclamations, heralded by blasts on enormous copper pipes called dzharchis - and a place of public executions. It is framed by three madrasahs (Islamic schools) of distinctive Islamic architecture.
The three madrasahs of the Registan are: the Ulugh Beg Madrasah (1417–1420), the Tilya-Kori Madrasah (1646–1660) and the Sher-Dor Madrasah (1619–1636). Madrasah is an Arabic term meaning school.
Sandhyavandana (Sanskrit: संध्यावन्दन, sandhyāvandana) is a mandatory religious ritual performed, traditionally, by Dvija communities of Hindus[citation needed], particularly those initiated through the sacred thread ceremony referred to as the Upanayanam and instructed in its execution by a Guru, in this case one qualified to teach Vedic ritual. The Sandhyavandanam consists of recitation from the Vedas, accompanied by ritual. These rituals are performed three times a day- at morning (prātaḥsaṃdhyā), noon (mādhyāhnika) and evening (sāyaṃsaṃdhyā).
The Sandhyavandanam is the oldest extant liturgy in world religion. As a practice, it may be descended from the much older daily Agnihotra ritual.
Sandhyavandanam literally means "salutation to Sandhya". Sandhya, in turn, has traditionally been interpreted either as "the transition moments of the day" (namely the two twilights dawn and dusk), or as "the solar noon". Thus, Sandhyavandanam may be defined as the ritual "salutation to twilight or the solar noon".

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.
Back to my heart project. I've had this idea in my head for quite a while but don't love the execution so just think concept.The puppy knocked the books over like dominoes so we are done for today.
"Birmingham", one of the new Landmark Series Locomotives unveiled in November of 2025 leads NS Train 258 through Orrick on the NS Kansas City District with a 8,066 feet of intermodal equipment.
So far NS has a pair of these, the other named "Atlanta", and feature this questionable execution of a paint job that blends the office car fleet's Norfolk & Western Tuscan Red with the standard NS scheme. This was the locomotive's first trip into Kansas City, having trailed into town on 259 the previous day.
I'm still not sure how I feel about it, but it's different and with the looming proposed NS merger with Union Pacific; who knows how much longer anything unique will be making new appearances.

Plant ornament is the most widespread ornament after geometric, it is characterized by its favorite motifs, and the latter are different in different countries, at different times. Plant ornament, in comparison with other types, provides the greatest opportunities for creating a variety of motifs, execution techniques, for an original interpretation of form. Plant ornament uses numerous forms of plants: leaves, flowers, fruits, taken together or separately. This is an artistic reworking of various forms of the plant world. In the hands of an ornamental artist, the original forms, scales, colors change and are subordinated according to the laws of symmetry. In stylization, all typical features of the plant are enhanced in accordance with its character, and the particular or accidental are removed or weakened. Often these changes are so significant that the original material is transformed beyond recognition. The most common plant forms since ancient times include: acanthus, lotus, papyrus, palms, hops, laurel, grapevine, ivy, oak.

Рослинний орнамент - це найпоширеніший орнамент після геометричного, для нього характерні свої улюблені мотиви, причому останні різні в різних країнах, у різні часи. Рослинний орнамент у порівнянні з іншими його видами надає найбільші можливості для створення різноманітних мотивів, прийомів виконання, для оригінального трактування форми.
Рослинний орнамент використовує численні форми рослин: листя, квіти, плоди, взяті разом чи окремо. Це художня переробка різноманітних форм рослинного світу. У руках художника-орнаменталіста початкові форми, масштаби, колір змінюються і підпорядковуються за законами симетрії.
При стилізації посилюються відповідно до характеру рослини всі типові особливості її та видаляється або послаблюється окреме або випадкове. Часто ці зміни настільки значні, що початковий матеріал перетворюється до невпізнанності.
До найпоширеніших рослинних форм з найдавніших часів відносяться: акант, лотос, папірус, пальми, хміль, лавр, виноградна лоза, плющ, дуб.
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!

Audacia is Allseas’ versatile pipelay vessel, optimised for the execution of small- to large-diameter pipeline projects of any length in all water depths, and for associated work such as the installation of risers and subsea protection frames. The concept for Audacia was developed entirely in-house and she has been operational since 2007.
A length of 225 m places her between Allseas’ dynamically positioned pipelay vessels Solitaire and Lorelay. Precise manoeuvring on full dynamic positioning with a stinger positioned on the bow allow Audacia to work safely in congested areas and lay pipes in very deep water. Pipeline start-ups and lay-downs are executed in very quick time ensuring any disruption to other activities near platforms is minimised. Due to her long length and ship-shape Audacia can accommodate multiple work stations and has a greater pipe hold capacity. Her independence from anchor handlers and large buffer capacity also ensure she is less dependent on pipe off-loading from supply vessels. A high transit speed, high lay speed and large carrying capacity ensure Audacia is highly competitive for pipelay projects anywhere in the world.

In 1785, in the village of Krasnoye, Staritsky District, Tver Governorate, Mark Poltoratsky, an Actual State Councilor, decided to build a church—an exact replica of the Church of the Nativity of John the Baptist in St. Petersburg, better known as the Chesme Church. To better understand the owner's unusual design, it's worth returning to that distant era and first recalling the original—the Chesme Church itself, built ten years earlier on the Tsarskoye Selo Highway next to the Imperial Travel Palace. The church in St. Petersburg was ceremoniously laid in June 1777 not only to commemorate the resounding victory of the Russian fleet over the Turks in Chesme Bay in 1770 but also in the very spot where Catherine the Great first received news of it. After the completion of the Chesme Church, Catherine II loved to visit here, and a special royal seat was designated for her. A short time passes... and Mark Fyodorovich Poltoratsky, the founder of the Poltoratsky noble family, a renowned Russian singer and director of the Court Chapel, decided to build a similar church on his estate for the 20th anniversary of the Battle of Chesma. Without knowing the background to its construction, any traveler would inevitably ask, "Where did such beauty come from in this rural backwater?!"
The details of the construction of the Church of the Transfiguration of the Savior in Krasnoye are known thanks to the research work of writer and restorer Vladimir Ivanovich Sysoev (1947-2010), the author of several books on the history of the Tver region. So, thanks to old documents, it becomes clear that the main driving force in the family of Actual State Councilor Mark Poltoratsky was his wife, "the general's wife," Agafokleya Alexandrovna (née Shishkova) (1732-1822), born into a family of Tver landowners. Her husband, Mark Fyodorovich, was afraid to cross her. According to one legend, the young Alexander I heard of her alleged "tyrannies" and ordered her flogging at the execution site. Be that as it may, she was a remarkable individual. Agafokleya multiplied the dowry she inherited from her father many times over, and by the end of her life, she owned four thousand serfs. Therefore, she was able to donate considerable sums both to the needy and to the construction of churches, and, most importantly, she was generous and eager to take advantage of this opportunity. In addition to building the church in Krasnoye, she financed the restoration of the Borisoglebsky Cathedral in Staritsa. After the Poltoratskys became owners of the estate in Krasnoye, the couple's first decision was to build a new stone church to replace the old wooden one. At his wife's insistence, Mark Fyodorovich wrote a letter in 1783 blessing the construction, stating that he wished "to build it at my own expense, according to the affordability of the location, without, however, moving away from my residence." The bishop asked for details: how many parishioners and households were on the estate? The prepared report informed him that, according to the deanery records of the Startsky district from 1782, the village of Krasnoye had a "wooden church, named the Resurrection of Christ, without chapels," built in 1720. Although dilapidated, it "contains ample furnishings," and is served by a priest, deacon, sexton, and sexton. There are 287 parish households. The blessing was given that same year, but there was a delay in obtaining the so-called charter for the construction of the church, without which construction could not begin. Only in the summer of 1785, after Mark Fyodorovich appealed a second time to the new Archbishop of Tver, Joasaph, was the charter received.
Unfortunately, archival documents provide no explanation as to why the owners of Krasnoye decided to build a replica of the Chesme Church. There are several theories. One of the most probable is that Agathoclea Poltoratskaya literally idolized Catherine II and reasonably believed that the very act of building an exact replica of the Chesme Church, so beloved by the Empress, would earn her favor. At another Agathoclea estate, the village of Gruzini near Torzhok, the only objects hanging on the walls of the mistress's bedroom were an image of the Savior and a portrait of Catherine II. After the empress's death, the landowner purchased her clothes and bedding as best she could.
The Church of the Nativity of John the Baptist in St. Petersburg was built according to the designs of the renowned architect Yury Felten. However, the question of whether the Church of the Transfiguration of the Savior in Krasnoye was a replica of this architect's design remains open. And did the architect ever visit Krasnoye to oversee the construction of the twin church? There are no reliable answers to these questions. It is only known that in 1776, Felten visited Tver and participated in the ceremony of laying the foundation stone for the monument to Catherine the Great (the monument was demolished in 1811). Therefore, it can be assumed that the architect did travel the distance from Tver to Krasnoye to discuss the construction of the future twin of the Chesme Church with the Poltoratskys. On the other hand, Mark Fyodorovich, who by then was already in charge of the Imperial Chapel, held a noble title, and had his own coat of arms depicting a harp in the center, could well have met the renowned architect in either Moscow or St. Petersburg. Incidentally, in addition to the original church in the village of Krasnoye, a third identical church was also built at the estate of A.D. Lansky in the village of Posadnikovo, Novorzhevsky District, Pskov Governorate. Unlike the first two, St. Nicholas Church had a freestanding four-tiered bell tower.
Unfortunately, neither the church itself nor the bell tower survives; they were demolished by the Bolsheviks in the 1920s. And the creation of three identical churches in different parts of Russia—isn't this a testament to the impeccability of the original architect's work? Even though it had all the hallmarks of Gothic architecture, which looked quite exotic in the Russian hinterland. Construction of the church in Krasnoye dragged on for eight years, although the Poltoratskys had planned to complete it in 1790, in time for the anniversary of the victory in the Battle of Chesma. Only in the summer of 1803, after the death of Mark Fyodorovich, was everything ready for Archbishop Pavel of Tver and Kashin to consecrate the new church in honor of the Transfiguration of the Lord. Agathoclea Alexandrovna outlived her husband by more than three decades. Before her death in 1822, she bequeathed the estate to one of her sons, Alexander Markovich (1766-1839), who lived in Krasnoye for a time. After burying his mother, and apparently in her memory, he asked the church authorities for a blessing to surround the church grounds with a stone fence. In his petition, he not only recalled that "the stone church in the name of the Transfiguration of the Lord was built by my late mother," but also boasted that "its splendor and wealth are sufficient compared to other churches." The blessing was soon received, and the fence was erected. Unfortunately, it has not survived to this day. In 1839, after the death of Alexander Markovich, the village of Krasnoye and another neighboring village called Sloboda passed into the possession of his daughter, Praskovia. But she had already put down strong roots in Moscow and rarely visited the family estate. Without proper oversight, the estate began to deteriorate and fall into disrepair. Praskovia mortgaged it repeatedly to pay debts, until, in late 1859, she sold it to a certain retired collegiate councilor, Boris Vasilyevich Kostylev. The new owner's son, also named Boris, a physician by training, set up a medical office on the first floor of the estate and began treating peasants. During World War I, he converted the entire second floor into a hospital, accommodating about fifty beds. Kostylev treated wounded Russian soldiers and officers until the Bolsheviks came to power. They not only closed the hospital but also arrested Kostylev himself. The doctor's subsequent fate is unknown.
In 1931, the Church of the Transfiguration of the Savior was closed by the Bolsheviks. The bells were melted down, the stone fence was dismantled, and transported to Staritsa, where they were placed around the city garden. For over sixty years, from 1931, when the godless authorities closed the church, the church building served the needs of a local collective farm and fell into serious disrepair. The Feast of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul (July 12, 1998) marks the rebirth of the Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord in the village of Krasnoye. In 1999, Priest Dimitry Kasparov became the rector of the church, and thanks to his tireless efforts, repair and restoration work has been ongoing for nearly twenty years. Today, the main challenges are behind us: the roof has undergone major repairs, the domes have been covered, crosses have been installed, and bells have been installed. Inside, a wooden floor has been laid, the walls have been plastered and painted, and a new iconostasis has been erected.

The Bridge of Sighs (Ponte dei Sospiri), an enclosed bridge made of white limestone, which has windows with stone bars, passes over the Rio di Palazzo in Venice, and connects the New Prison (Prigioni Nuove) to the interrogation rooms in the Doge's Palace. It was designed by Antonio Contino (whose uncle Antonio da Ponte had designed the Rialto Bridge) and was built in 1600.
The bridge's name comes from the suggestion that prisoners would sigh at their final view of beautiful Venice through the window before being taken down to their cells. In reality, the days of inquisitions and summary executions were over by the time the bridge was built.

2020 Bio-Cup Round 1 Entry
-Theme: Wild / Nature
- Subtheme: Flowering Plants
Another non-humanoid build for this round of the Bio-Cup, this time a small bonsai tree and miniature garden, featuring a tiny Bioni-Buddha! The Flowering Plants theme is deceptively complicated in that gives you so many options, yet requires excellent execution to do well. Bionicle parts don't lend themselves to botanical forms, so this was a fun challenge to overcome!
Garfield has had a stay of execution. On the day before I was due to put him to sleep, I had a visit from his owner down the street. He advised me that it would mean a lot to his children to keep the cat alive. After speaking to my wife about the situation, we have now decided to keep Garfield and give him the medical attention and care that he badly needs. I will be getting him de-sexed in the next week or two to try and stop him getting into fights and then get him some other medical attention. 2:32pm, Sunday the 2nd of September, 2018.

Execution on Anoat | Dark Times RPG
“Many years ago during the Jedi Purge, Jedi Master Siuz Tregú led a group of clone troopers to the planet of Anoat. Orders were given to scout the dust ball and report any signs of life or movement from the Seps. That day however, was the day clones turned on the scum which were the Jedi and as we all know, they were taken out. Siuz, as the report says, was just the same. Another loose end.”
Here to show you a MOC me and Luca (luca_s_projects) worked on last weekend while I visited and attended DLA. This was built during some free time we had and did quite well. The MOC consists of the clones and Jedi as mentioned above, speeder design built by Luca and some terrain surrounded by a wall of bricks in DBG. Let us know what you think by commenting below. ~ Noah
