An old abandoned house with its' side fallen out. This is on an island that was resettled in the 1960's. It reminded me of a little girls doll house.

L'abbaye de Beauport est située dans la commune de Paimpol (partie du village de Kérity) dans le département des Côtes-d'Armor, en Bretagne.
Fondée au début du xiiie siècle par le comte Alain Ier d’Avaugour, qui annonce en 1202 le transfert des biens de l'abbaye de Saint-Riom établie à la fin du renouveau monastique des xie et xiie siècles vers 1170-1180 par le comte Henri de Trégor un parent du Duc à Beauport dans la paroisse de Kérity. Elle devient une abbaye de chanoines prémontrés venus de l'abbaye de La Lucerne en Normandie. Ses fonctions pastorales, de justice et économiques s'étendent de l'île-de-Bréhat à Saint-Brieuc et sur une quinzaine de paroisses. C'est aussi une seigneurie maritime avec des droits sur la mer de l'île Saint-Riom à la pointe de Guilben.
Elle renoue avec les installations côtières et insulaires du début du monachisme celtique. Cette situation assure sa prospérité dans un environnement complexe et diversifié. Du xiiie au xve siècle, elle se développe rapidement, ses chanoines dépendant directement du pape possèdent la haute et basse justices sur leurs vassaux. Cette importante seigneurie marque son empreinte sur le paysage avec la construction de digues et talus, des aménagements hydrauliques et l'exploitation du sel. Elle participe au développement économique en accordant des prêts et est présente dès le début de la grande pêche lointaine vers Terre-Neuve et l'Islande.
Au xvie siècle, la mise en commende de l'abbaye avec des abbés nommés par le roi aggrave sa situation et au début du xviie siècle, l'abbé de La Lucerne est chargé de réformer Beauport. Des prieurs énergiques restaurent la règle et les bâtiments. En 1698, l'enseignement de la philosophie et de la théologie lui donnent un rayonnement spirituel et intellectuel ; mais après 1763, avec le délabrement du bâti, les conflits, les procès et l'effondrement des vocations, l'anarchie règne quand arrive la Révolution. En 1790, l'abbaye est vendue et reste privée jusqu'à son rachat par le Conservatoire du littoral qui la protège définitivement.
Le monastère est construit sur un site de 70 hectares descendant vers la mer avec une jetée formant havre et une double ceinture de murailles. Témoin de la spécificité des établissements monastiques en milieu littoral, elle doit sa réputation au caractère grandiose de ses ruines, son polylithisme coloré et son unité de style. Filiale d'une abbaye normande, c'est un monument d'architecture gothique normande importée en Bretagne.
En 1836, Prosper Mérimée dans ses Notes de voyage dans l'ouest de la France montre le plus haut intérêt pour le premier style gothique du réfectoire et de la salle capitulaire, dont il propose la sauvegarde. Depuis 1869, elle occupe une place reconnue dans l'histoire de l'architecture grâce à Arcisse de Caumont qui, dans son Abécédaire, ou rudiments d'archéologie, la présente comme offrant le prototype de l'abbaye médiévale des xiie et xiiie siècles avec un plan homogène et régulièrement ordonné. Aujourd'hui, bien que partiellement en ruines, elle demeure l'un des sites monastiques les plus complets de Bretagne.
Elle est classée au titre des Monuments historiques depuis 1862, et le site protégé par le Conservatoire du littoral depuis 1995.

DB 628 602, Lebach (ligne Lebach - Illingen), 28 Octobre 2012.
Début de journée à Lebach. En ce beau Dimanche matin d'automne, les deux VT628-4 affectés à la liaison RB72 Saarbrücken - Lebach dorment encore sur leur tiroir respectif à Lebach, en attendant l'heure des premiers trains de la journée vers la capitale Saarroise. En l'espace de quelques mois, le paysage ferroviaire s'est ici littéralement métamorphosé : depuis l'arrivée, en 2014, du tramway à Lebach, qui complète la desserte depuis la capitale régionale, se dresse à cet endroit un tout nouveau dépôt, et les installations hors d'âge, notamment le poste d'aiguillage à gauche sur la photo (déjà abandonné à cet époque), ont été démantelées depuis. Quant aux VT628, spécialistes de cette desserte depuis des décennies, ils s'effaceront définitivement de cette relation le 14 Décembre 2019, la DB ayant perdu la concession pour l'exploitation de la desserte régionale sur cette ligne au profit de VLEXX à partir du SA2020.
With the UFA Invasion underway, dozens of Eurasian bunkers had been raided and decimated. One base in particular, though, had an increased amount of activity. Curious of this, the UFA sent pathfinders to find out what significance this commotion was. Upon entering the facility unnoticed, a couple of rebel leaders were being tortured, and soon after one of them was executed for noncompliance. The pathfinders were shocked at this discovery, since the rebels and Eurasians shared similar goals. What was really going on? The pathfinders became unaware of their movements, and alerted the guards of their position. Communication to UFA headquarters were soon disrupted, and the secret of this seeming betrayal died after the bombing of this facility soon after.
Very fun to get back into the swing of things, and to continue this storyline for the World In Darkness group from Everette. Made this quick scene in one night since I've been busy with music and schoolwork. I had two sets of lighting, and couldn't only post one of them, so you'll get both :))

Autrefois, l’exploitation du goémon, dont on extrayait la soude et celle du granit qui a permis de construire tant d’infrastructures portuaires des côtes françaises comme anglaises, assurait aux îles une population permanente importante.
Au milieu du XIXe siècle, Chausey abrite jusqu’à 500 carriers, la majorité était des granitiers bretons.
Ce sont les moines du Mont Saint-Michel qui, les premiers, ont exploité le granit de Chausey.
Sa réputation est telle qu’il sert à la construction des manoirs du Cotentin, à la réalisation des quais des ports de Dieppe et de Londres, au pavage des trottoirs du Paris haussmannien, ou à la reconstruction de Saint-Malo en 1949.
Les algues, qui abondent dans les fonds marins de l’archipel, ont aussi constitué une matière première importante pour la fabrication de la soude entrant dans la composition du verre ou des savons.

"Oh! dreadful is the check - intense the agony
When the ear begins to hear, and the eye begins to see;
When the pulse begins to throb, the brain to think again;
The soul to feel the flesh, and the flesh to feel the chain."
(Emily Bronte - English Author, 1818-1848)
Anand, our icon model since our first catalogue, is wrapped in a silk scarf made with a hand embroidery.
This artcraft is done by ladies involved in several workshops that we have settled with GURIA, a Human Rights organisation fighting against the sexual exploitation of women and children, particularly those forced into prostitution and trafficking.
Each scarf is unique and made in sarees provided by many women in Benaras who take this opportunity to get rid of pieces that they brought in order to celebrate happy moments, festivals or parties.
Those accessories carry traces of happiness in their yarns...
RED HALO is a collection of household linen based in Benaras (Varanasi - India) providing work to people who were living with difficulties and education to children.

Anand accepted to show his body knowing that the series of pictures will be decent as usual.
He also did it for the purpose of this brotherhood and happiness chain as this is a way to catch the attention on this fight for Human Rights and human dignity.
Thank you to all of you who gave such a positive response to this campaign.

Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche, Breitscheidplatz, Charlottenburg, Berlin.
La iglesia evangélica luterana Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche (iglesia en recuerdo del emperador Guillermo), coloquialmente conocida como Gedächtniskirche (iglesia del recuerdo), se halla en la plaza Breitscheidplatz, junto a la avenida de Kurfürstendamm en Charlottenburg-Berlín (cerca del lado suroccidental del Tiergarten).
Tras ser destruida en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, se ha conservado en estado de ruina como memorial. Se compone de varios cuerpos y se declaró monumento protegido.
El emperador Guillermo II donó la construcción del monumento religioso para honrar a su abuelo Guillermo I.
La iglesia se construyó entre 1891 y 1895 de acuerdo a los planos de Franz Schwechten, con un estilo arquitectónico neorrománico según el modelo de diversas iglesias románicas de Renania, y en especial de la catedral de Bonn, de estilo románico tardío, y situada en Bonn. El edificio original causaba gran impresión por sus cinco torres. La torre principal alcanzaba los 113 metros, siendo la más alta de la ciudad. En su interior, mosaicos de gran valor recordaban la vida y hazañas del emperador Guillermo I.
Se pensó construir dentro de las ruinas de la iglesia demolida por los bombardeos una iglesia de cristal. Pero tras un concurso, se eligió la idea del arquitecto Egon Eiermann, quien propuso un compendio entre la ruina y una construcción moderna. Se mantuvo así la ruina de la torre, de una altura de 71 metros, asegurada arquitectónicamente, como monumento conmemorativo contra la guerra, rodeada por un conjunto de cuatro partes que se construyeron entre 1951 y 1961. La parte moderna de la Iglesia, por su singular forma y la de la torre se denomina, cada una de sus partes, "la polvera" y "el lápiz de labios".
Las paredes de las nuevas salas de la iglesia se caracterizan por tener más de 20.000 cristales coloreados que sumergen el interior en una luz azulada. Aparte de ello, la construcción de doble pared aísla el interior del ruido del tráfico de las cercanías.
The Evangelical Lutheran church Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche (church in memory of the Emperor William), colloquially known as the Gedächtniskirche (memorial church), is located on the Breitscheidplatz square, next to the Kurfürstendamm avenue in Charlottenburg-Berlin (near the south-west side) of the Tiergarten).
After being destroyed in World War II, it has been preserved as a memorial, it is composed of several bodies and declared a protected monument.
Emperor William II donated the construction of the religious monument to honor his grandfather William I.
The church was built between 1891 and 1895 according to the plans of Franz Schwechten, with a neo-Romanesque architectural style according to the model of various Romanesque churches in the Rhineland, and especially the cathedral of Bonn, late Romanesque style, and located in Bonn . The original building made a great impression for its five towers. The main tower reached 113 meters, being the highest in the city. Inside, mosaics of great value recalled the life and exploits of Emperor William I.
It was planned to build a glass church inside the ruins of the church demolished by bombing. But after a contest, the idea of the architect Egon Eiermann was chosen, who proposed a compendium between the ruin and a modern construction. The ruin of the tower, of a height of 71 meters, secured architecturally, was maintained as a commemorative monument against the war, surrounded by a set of four parts that were built between 1951 and 1961. The modern part of the Church, for its singular form and that of the tower is called, each one of its parts, "the compact" and "the lipstick".
The walls of the new rooms of the church are characterized by having more than 20,000 colored crystals that immerse the interior in a bluish light. Apart from that, the double wall construction isolates the interior from the traffic noise of the vicinity.

When I met Kairon he was homeless, living under a tent in Paris.
He kept on his head this old tatoo, a souvenir of his youth in England.
After the Brotherhood of Makuta exploited the Nynrah Ghosts to acquire enough armor and weaponry, Kuperix was sent by Teridax on the island of Nynrah in order to ensure no one could acquire valuable information on the equipment they came into possession of. Unbeknown to the Brotherhood, a lone, surviving Toa of Iron was waiting for them.
Kuperix is an unjustifyibly sadistic and brutal beyond reason Makuta who takes pleasure in instilling dread and helplessness in his enemies. Even when practicing the most unspeakable acts of torture he remains unperturbed, his eerie collectedness alone enough of a reason to be feared even among his brothers. His Kanohi Hamene, Mask of Redirection, allows him to redirect melee attacks and curve the trajectories of projectiles aimed at him, making him virtually impervious to physical means of harm.

A trip to…Matera: it is an Italian city of Basilicata, its origins are very ancient, remote; Matera is characterized by the so-called "Sassi", they are a complex of districts consisting of Houses-Caves dug into the rock; in the past these houses-caves were evacuated (in 1952) by order of the then government, to prevent the Sassi from being a tangible manifestation of a poor and backward southern Italy, with the simultaneous construction of districts made up of new houses. Currently things have changed, the Sassi have been rediscovered and enhanced, they host B & Bs, restaurants, museums, exhibition halls in which to find exhibitions of modern art, and, thanks to their rediscovery, the Sassi have been recognized by UNESCO, heritage of humanity, and moreover, Matera has also been elected Capital of Culture of 2019.
The Sassi of Matera are therefore districts that constitute the oldest part of the city, there is the Sasso Barisano, there is the Sasso Caveoso, which are separated from each other by a Big Rock on which there is the "Civita", which is the central part of the old city, on top of which is the cathedral and noble palaces. In ancient times the inhabitants of the Sassi, exploiting the friability of the calcareous rock, created a complex system for conveying water into canals, which led to a network of cisterns, thus water, a precious element for those lands, immediately became available.
The Patron Saint of Matera is the Our Lady of Bruna, whose denomination has uncertain origins (there are various theories), I have photographed Her icon, visible in the Mother Church, and the Her statue with the Little Jesus in Her arms, which is carried in procession. The Sassi, due to their landscape features, were very often chosen to set a large number of films, just to mention a few, "the roaring years" by Luigi Zampa, "the Gospel according to Matthew" by Pier Paolo Pasolini, "Christ stopped at Eboli" by Francesco Rosi," the Passion of Christ" by Mel Gibson.
In my wanderings among the Sassi, I met many Street Artists, among them the artist Benedict Popescu, I also met a very nice Capuchin friar with a passion for photography, some sweet girls, Koreans, Beneventans and of Matera.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Una gita a…..Matera: essa è una città italiana della Basilicata, le sue origini sono antichissime, remote; Matera è caratterizzata dai cosiddetti “Sassi”, sono un complesso di rioni costituiti da Case-Grotte scavate nella roccia; queste Case-Grotte in passato furono evacuate (nel 1952) per ordine dell’allora governo, per impedire che i Sassi potessero essere una manifestazione tangibile di una Italia meridionale povera ed arretrata, con la contemporanea realizzazione di rioni costituiti da case nuove. Attualmente le cose sono cambiate, i Sassi sono stati riscoperti e valorizzati, essi ospitano B&B, ristoranti, musei, sale espositive nelle quali trovare anche mostre di arte moderna, e, grazie alla loro riscoperta, i Sassi sono stati riconosciuti dall’UNESCO, patrimonio dell’umanità, ed inoltre, Matera è stata anche eletta Capitale della cultura del 2019.
I Sassi di Matera sono quindi rioni che costituiscono la parte più antica della città, c’è il Sasso Barisano, c’è il Sasso Caveoso, i quali sono separati tra di loro da una rocca sulla quale c’è la Civita, che è la parte centrale della città vecchia, sulla cui sommità si trova la cattedrale ed i palazzi nobiliari. In epoche remote gli abitanti dei Sassi, sfruttando la friabilità della roccia calcarea, si ingegnarono nel realizzare un complesso sistema di convogliamento delle acque in canali, che conducevano in una rete di cisterne, in tal modo l’acqua, elemnto preziosissimo per quelle terre, diveniva immediatamente disponibile.
La Santa Patrona di Matera è la Madonna della Bruna, la cui denominazione ha origini incerte (vi sono varie teorie), io ho fotografato sia la sua icona, visibile nella chiesa Madre, sia la statua con in braccio il Bambinello, che viene portata in processione. I Sassi, per le loro caratteristiche paesaggistiche, sono stati molto spesso scelti per ambientare numerosissimi film, solo per ricordarne alcuni, “gli anni ruggenti” di Luigi Zampa, “il Vangelo secondo Matteo” di Pier Paolo Pasolini, “Cristo si è fermato ad Eboli” di Francesco Rosi, “la Passione di Cristo” di Mel Gibson.
Nel mio peregrinare tra i Sassi, ho incontrato molti Artisti di Strada, tra essi l’artista Benedict Popescu, credo unico nel suo genere, ho incontrato inoltre, un gentilissimo frate cappuccino con la passione della fotografia, delle dolcissime ragazze, Coreane, Beneventane e di Matera.
One year after the earthquake, a little report from Kathmandu area.
These pictures had been taken two months after the earthquake 25 April 2015. The idea of the report is to show not the destruction but the reconstruction, not the weakness but the strength, not the desperation but the smiles and not the sorrow but the joy of coming back to a normal life. Kathmandu’s people in their everyday life. I especially chose Nepali’s youth to defeat the commonplace of Nepal as a spiritual destination for Western people who comes to clean up their souls from exploiting the rest of the world, and to show how Nepalese are in our same a globalized world, listening to the same rebel music, playing with the same touch-screens and waving the same red flag.
Un anno dopo il terremoto, piccolo report di Kathmandù. Queste foto sono state scattate due mesi dopo il terremoto del 25 Aprile 2015. L’idea del report è di mostrare non la distruzione ma la ricostruzione, non la debolezza ma la forza, non la disperazione ma i sorrisi e non il dolore ma la gioia di tornare alla vita normale. Gente di Kathandùnella loro vita quotidiana. Ho scelto in particolare i giovani Nepalesi, per distruggere il luogo comune del Nepal come destinazione spirituale per Occidentali giunti per ripulirsi l’anima dallo sfruttamento del mondo intero, per mostrarecome i Nepalesi vivano nel nostro stesso mondo globalizzato, ascoltino la stessa musica ribelle, giochino con lo stesso touchscreen e sventolino la stessa bandiera rossa.

The rainbow flag has become the worldwide banner of the LGBT community because the major colors of the visible spectrum represent diversity among the entire human population. Humankind is one species, but we come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and colors. We have two basic genetic and anatomical sexes with a small minority that are in between or have some characteristics of both.
Then it gets more complicated. For reproductive purposes, most people are attracted to the opposite sex; however, a fairly big minority is attracted to the same sex, both sexes, or neither, and those attractions may change over the course of a person's life. Gender identity and expression for most people is related to their biological sex but not rigidly tied to it. How a person feels, acts, and presents themselves is part internal and part cultural, so it is subject to change, especially across space and time. Human society is not uniform throughout our planet, and it changes over the years, so is it any surprise that gender appearance, identity, social roles, and behavior can change and vary from person to person?
Unfortunately, some social groups, political organizations, ethnic groups, religious cults, families, and bigoted individuals try to force everybody to conform to rigid sexual conduct, gender roles, and outward appearance. Those who do not conform are branded as evil, perverted, or crazy and either forced to conform, expelled, beaten up, imprisoned, or killed.
In the United States, LGBT folks are fighting for our CIVIL RIGHTS. We are gaining some ground, but so-called "social conservatives" in some state and local governments are trying to erect new legal obstacles in our path. Some of them publicly call for our extermination. Hate crimes against us continue, and a few days ago in Orlando, a major terrorist attack by a lone gunman murdered at least 49 people at a gay nightclub.
2016 is an election year and one of the most vicious ever. In general, the same people who preach hatred against LGBT people are the same crowd who promotes hatred against people of color, opposes reproductive freedom for women, denies Climate Change and opposes meaningful measures to mitigate it, opposes environmental protection, opposes financial regulation, opposes Internet Neutrality, opposes an increase in the minimum wage, opposes election reform, but they approve of CORPORATE GREED, unlimited exploitation of our natural resources, unending overseas conflict, the militarization of our police forces, the expansion of private prisons, and a continued expansion of domestic surveillance without any accountability.
This particular graphic was copied from one of the many LGBT political action groups I subscribe to, and since it is a commonly used banner, this constitutes Fair Use.
An Indian farmer truly represents India. He can be called the son of the soil.
It is on his sweet and labour that our progress and prosperity depend. It is he who feeds and clothes the people. An Indian farmer is very hard working. He is very busy throughout the year. For him there is no rest.
He is engaged in tilling the soil, sowing the seeds, watering the fields, reaping and harvesting the crop and then taking it to the market to sell it. And yet he is very poor. He is being exploited by the money-lenders, the middlemen and the government servants.
