Stora Sundby - Södermanland - Sverige / Sweden

In the middle of beautiful Södermanland lies Stora Sundby Castle, overlooking the waters of Lake Hjälmaren. The history of the estate dates back to the Middle Ages, when a defensive fortress was established on the site.

The architectural features of the castle resemble those of a calendar, four large towers symbolizing the seasons, twelve small towers symbolizing the months of the year, 52 rooms symbolizing the weeks of the year, and a window for each day of the year (365). Architect was Peter Frederick Robinson.

Now Playing Defying Gravity

Something has changed within me

Something is not the same

I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game

Too late for second-guessing

Too late to go back to sleep

It's time to trust my instincts, close my eyes, and leap...

It's time to try defying gravity

Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity

I think I'll try defying gravity

You can't bring me down

I'm through accepting limits 'cause someone says they're so

Some things I cannot change, but 'til I try, I'll never know

Too long I've been afraid of losing love I guess I've lost

Well if that's love, it comes at much too high a cost

I'd sooner buy defying gravity

Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity

I think I'll try defying gravity

You can't bring me down

Unlimited, our future is unlimited

And I've just had a vision almost like a prophecy

I know it sounds truly crazy

And true, the vision's hazy

But I swear someday I'll be

Flying so high

Kiss me goodbye

So if you care to find me, look to the Western sky!

As someone told me lately, everyone deserves the chance to fly

And if I'm flying solo, at least I'm flying free

To those who ground me, take a message back from me!

Tell them how I am defying gravity

I'm flying high, defying gravity

And soon I'll match them in renown

And nobody in all of Oz

No Wizard that there is or was

Is ever gonna bring me down!

One of the features of New England I enjoyed was the pure white buildings and churches you see in the area . This is the town hall in the small town of Manchester by the Sea on Cape Ann in Massachusetts.

I probably would have just driven past the town if I had not seen the 2016 film Manchester by the sea by Kenneth Lonergan. The film has superb performances by Casey Affleck and Michelle Williams and uses the town of Manchester by the sea very evocatively . I think this may be my favourite American film made in the 21st century though it is a film of overwhelming sadness

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM. I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .

The stained glass windows of Notre-Dame, particularly the three rose windows, are among the most famous features of the cathedral. The west rose window, over the portals, was the first and smallest of the roses in Notre-Dame. It is 9.6 metres in diameter, and was made in about 1225, with the pieces of glass set in a thick circular stone frame. None of the original glass remains in this window; it was recreated in the 19th century.

The two transept windows are larger and contain a greater proportion of glass than the rose on the west façade, because the new system of buttresses made the nave walls thinner and stronger. The north rose was created in about 1250, and the south rose in about 1260. The south rose in the transept is 12.9 metres in diameter; with the claire-voie surrounding it, a total of 19 metres. It was given to the cathedral by King Louis IX of France, known as Saint Louis.

The south rose has 94 medallions, arranged in four circles, depicting scenes from the life of Christ and those who witnessed his time on earth. The inner circle has twelve medallions showing the twelve apostles. During later restorations, some of these original medallions were moved to circles farther out. The next two circles depict celebrated martyrs and virgins. The fourth circle shows twenty angels, and saints important to Paris, such as Saint Denis, Margaret the Virgin with a dragon, and Saint Eustace. The third and fourth circles also have some depictions of Old Testament subjects. The third circle has some medallions with scenes from the New Testament Gospel of Matthew which date from the last quarter of the 12th century. These are the oldest glass in the window.

Additional scenes in the corners around the rose window include Jesus's Descent into Hell, Adam and Eve, the Resurrection of Christ. Saint Peter and Saint Paul are at the bottom of the window, and Mary Magdalene and John the Apostle at the top.

Above the rose was a window depicting Christ triumphant seated in the sky, surrounded by his Apostles. Below are sixteen windows with painted images of Prophets. These were painted during the restoration in the 19th century by Alfred Gérenthe, under the direction of Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, based upon a similar window at Chartres Cathedral.

The south rose had a difficult history. In 1543 it was damaged by the settling of the masonry walls, and not restored until 1725–1727. It was seriously damaged in the French Revolution of 1830. Rioters burned the residence of the archbishop, next to the cathedral, and many of the panes were destroyed. The window was rebuilt by Viollet-le-Duc in 1861 who rotated it by fifteen degrees to give it a clear vertical and horizontal axis, and replaced the destroyed pieces of glass with new glass in the same style. The window now contains both medieval and 19th-century glass.

In the 1960s, after three decades of debate, it was decided to replace many of the 19th-century grisaille windows in the nave designed by Viollet-le-Duc with new windows. The new windows, made by Jacques Le Chevallier, are without human figures and use abstract designs and colour to try to recreate the luminosity of the cathedral's interior in the 13th century.

The fire left the three great medieval rose windows mostly intact, but with some damage. The rector of the cathedral noted that one rose window would have to be dismantled, as it was unstable and at risk. Most of the other damaged windows were of much less historical value.

In early 2024 Macron proposed removing six of the seven undamaged 19th-century stained glass windows created by Eugene Viollet-le-Duc in the chapels along the south aisle of the nave, and replacing them with new windows with more contemporary designs. He invited contemporary artists to submit designs for the new windows. This proposal inspired a backlash in the press, and 140,000 people signed a petition to keep the old windows. The plan for contemporary windows was rejected by the French Commission on Architectural Monuments and Patrimony in July 2024.

Mainz: city of Gutenberg and Germany's wine capital.

Mainz is famous for its university, its Roman heritage, its status as a media hub and regional capital, and its three most defining features: the Romanesque cathedral, the Gutenberg printing press and the Rhineland carnival. The people of Mainz have good reason to be proud of their city's history spanning almost 2,000 years. This rich cultural heritage incorporates a well-established winegrowing tradition, which only adds to Mainz's appeal.

For over 1,000 years the city's skyline has been dominated by one building, Mainz Cathedral. Towering majestically in its central location, the cathedral is one of the most important churches in Germany. Its foundation stone was laid in 975 AD under the aegis of Bishop Willigis. In its shadows lie the medieval and early modern quarters of Mainz. The hustle and bustle centres around the twisting, narrow lanes, with names such as Nasengässchen and Heringsbrunnengasse, as well as the many small shops, boutiques and cafés surrounding pretty Kirschgarten square with its romantic timber-framed houses and Marienbrunnen fountain. In the evenings, one thing is plain to see: Mainz is Germany's wine capital.

his face, weathered like old leather, told stories no words could reach. from the street, i caught a glimpse of him—his hands folded, his gaze steady, as if lost between memory and the present. the café den coll, open to the street, framed the scene like a stage. he spoke to another man, but his thoughts seemed miles away. i focused my lens on him, drawn to the weight of his silence, the years etched in his features. the slate beside him bore the words "se feliz," a handwritten reminder, almost ironic in its quiet boldness. perhaps it’s the simplest wisdom, the hardest to follow: be happy.

Venta Rapid (Latvian: Ventas rumba) is a rapid on the Venta River in Kuldīga, Latvia. It is the widest rapid in Europe – 249 metres (817 ft) and up to 270 metres (886 ft) during spring floods. Its height is 1.80–2.20 metres (5.9–7.2 ft) and it changes depending on the water level in the river. It also features the widest waterfall in Europe. It is 110 me wide, but only two metres high. Fishing weirs were carved into the stone. They were used to catch salmon and sturgeon. The fish that didn't make the jump up the river were swept by the current back into the canals where they were caught in hanging baskets

"The naked lady flower (Amaryllis belladonna) features showy, lily-like blooms that emit a pleasant fragrance.

Their bright tubular displays are attractive to beneficial insects and hummingbirds, making them the perfect fit for those who want to bring more pollinators into their yard and garden. But their somewhat risqué nickname also stands out!"

Naked lady flowers get their spicy common name from the way their blooms appear once the foliage dies back, leaving bare or "naked" stems.

"The monument features a 28-foot (8.53 m) heroic-sized bronze sculpture, Angel of the Resurrection, that portrays Michael the Archangel lifting up a dead soldier out of the "flames of war". This is set upon an 11-foot (3.35 m) black-granite base, with two inscribed dedications and four bronze plaques listing the 1,307 names in alphabetical order. The work was designed and created by Walker Hancock (1901–1998), Instructor of Sculpture at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and a U.S. Army veteran of World War II. Hancock had been one of the "Monuments Men" who recovered art looted by the Nazis."

Males features a spectacular iridescent green-and-white crested head, a reddish-brown (chestnut) breast with white spots, golden flanks, and striking red eyes. Unlike most ducks, they have sharp claws for perching on tree branches and broad tails to maneuver through dense forests.

Suan Luang Rama IX Park , a new and sizable metropolitan public park, was born out of the aspirations and fervent desire of a group of His Majesty the King's loyal subjects to create and dedicate a park as a token of homage and honor to His Majesty on the occasion of His Sixtieth Birthday Anniversary in the year B.C. 2530 (A.D.1987), with the fullest co-operation of the Bangkok Metropolitan Authority.

Suan Luang Rama IX Park is divided into six areas.

1. Homage to His Majesty- The first and foremost of which is called Uthayan Maharaj (literally, "Garden of the Great King") to symbolize the Sovereign' Grace and Majesty.

2. The Botanical Garden- Area Two is a botanical garden dedicated to the propagation of knowledge, collection of and research on the various types of flora.

3. The Reservoir - Area Three, named Traphang Keo, is a reservoir in line with the flood-prevention project inspired by His Majesty the King, which is the foremost of subsequent water projects.

4. Rommaniya Garden - Area Four comprises an open garden where Thailand's natural heritage, including its mountains and geological features, is represented in miniature for visitors to the Park.

5. The Sanam Rasdara - Area Five, named Sanam Rasdara, is a wide open field intended for use for various types of entertainment of festive occasions. Sanam Rasdara (literlly, "Royal Ground"), fittingly symbolizes the affinity between Luang ("Royal") and Rasdara ("people")

6. The Water Garden- Area Six is a garden in the form of mixed jungle and marshlands, providing the life-sustaining habitat for fish, water- fowl and multifarious aquatic plants.

This scene features a trio of interacting galaxies found in the constellation of Virgo, being some 70-90 million light years away from Earth. The largest galaxy in the group is NGC 5566, which is a barred spiral galaxy stretching nearly 150,000 light years in diameter. Having widely sweeping spiral arms, with dark dusty lanes, these arms are speckled with new star forming regions throughout. The elongated galaxy to the left of NGC 5566 is the heavily distorted NGC5560. You can just see faint dusty interconnections between NGC 5560 and NGC 5566, providing us some clues that these are in fact interacting. The lower blueish galaxy NGC5569 does not appear to be disturbed, and maybe placed slightly in the foreground.

In the darkness of the surrounding space, the speckled background indicates a sea of background objects, all being in the significant distance.

Onigawara are decorative features found most often on Buddhist temple roofs, though sometimes also on shrines or residences. Kawara is the word for ceramic roof tiles that were introduced into Japan along with Buddhism and temple architecture from the Korean Peninsula in the 6th century during the Asuka Period of Japanese history.

The word oni is somewhat more problematical to translate, with the word demon most often used, but in English the word demon has connotations of evil, whereas the Japanese oni does behave in evil ways, it is also capable of acting for good, so the word ogre is perhaps better.

Sometimes the word goblin is also used, though that word is often associated with another class of mythical creature called a Tengu. The simplest translation though is probably "demon tile".

Onigawara are found at the ends of the main roof ridge, the Ohmune, and at the ends of the descending ridges, the Kudarimune, and their practical purpose is to protect against weathering, and though primarily made of ceramic, stone or wood is not unknown.

Up to the Heian Period (794-1185) they were decorated with designs of flowers or animals, but from the Kamakura Period (1185-1332) the Oni design came to prominence.

Their spiritual function is to ward off evil, and so they have sometimes become associated with the European gargoyle. While onigawara are almost always Oni, there are some of other creatures, including Tengu and Kappa.

As well as Onigawara there are other types of decoration on temple roofs, the most well known being the Shachi, or Shachihoko, the mythical creature with the body of a fish and the head of a tiger.

These are placed on top of the main ridge and are to ward of fires. Big Shachi often covered in gold leaf will be found on top of Japanese castles. Other than the shachi there are various other figures found on roofs including komainu, phoenixes, monkeys, doves, etc.

Being ceramic, onigawara will often survive the periodic fires that tend to burn down temples and other wooden buildings in Japan and so older examples can often be found on display around the grounds of a temple or in the temple's treasure house.

The Butterfly Rainforest is a can’t-miss living exhibit that features hundreds of free-flying butterflies and birds from around the world along with an assortment of other animals including turtles and fish to experience firsthand. The lush landscape is planted in tropical trees and colorful flowering plants amid waterfalls and a walking path. Skilled interpretive staff are available to help answer questions and provide visitors with a personal and highly engaging experience.

This is one of the natural features in the Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, USA. Natural processes created these geysers over thousands and thousands of years.

I took the image hand-held with my former Nikon D300 in September of 2011. I just happened to be viewing some of my Yellowstone images this afternoon and particularly liked natures choice of colors.

The Colorado Plateau is full of wonderous sandstone geologic features, that range from bright cream to deep red hues. It is often referred to as a cold desert, because it experiences colder seasons than the Mojave and Sonoran deserts to the west.

Here in Zion National Park in the southwestern corner of Utah, where the canyon floor elevation is above 4,000', snow falls occasionally and the winter temperatures can be very cold. The Virgin River which cut this canyon over millennia does not freeze, so on a clear day after a snowfall it reflects the vibrant colors of the rock and deep blue skies, further highlighting the scant snow in the scene.

Congrats on Explore!

Selected for Display - MAY 2023, Color Burst: Contemporary Photography by Black Box Gallery in Portland, Oregon

This exhibition is on at The Box in Plymouth until the 27th Feb 2022.

The exhibition features over 300 paintings and objects by more than 100 artists. Songlines takes visitors on an epic journey that traverses three states, three deserts and some 500,000 square kilometres, travelling from west to east: to places in the deserts of the Martu, the Ngaanyatjarra and the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) peoples. Using the power of contemporary art, performance, song, photography and multimedia, the exhibition shares ancient stories from the world’s oldest continuing culture.

Songlines are a map of the land as well as a pathway for complex spiritual, cultural, political and historical truths or knowledges – and so much more. They crisscross the land, creating a network of stories that ‘map’ the Australian continent, linking narratives to geographical features and serving as vehicles for naming and locating sites critical for survival physically and culturally. It is through Songlines that Aboriginal people can locate and learn from significant sites and pass on laws, ways of living and moral codes to the next generation.

This photograph features Ljubljanica river in Ljubljana, capital of Slovenia.

There is mention of a wooden bridge in this location from 1280. It was at first called the Old Bridge (Stari most) and later the Lower Bridge (Spodnji most), in contrast to the Upper Bridge that was built in the location of the nowadays Cobblers' Bridge in the same century. It was also named the Špital Bridge (Špitalski most) after the nearby poorhouse, which was established in the early 14th century. It was built anew in 1657 after a fire.

The Triple Bridge is a group of three bridges across the Ljubljanica River. It connects the Ljubljana's historical, medieval, town on one bank, and the modern city of Ljubljana, capital of Slovenia, on the other.

In 1842, the Lower Bridge was replaced by a new bridge designed by Giovanni Picco, an Italian architect from Villach, and named Franz's Bridge, (Frančev most) in honor of Archduke Franz Karl of Austria. It also became known as the Franciscan Bridge (Frančiškanski most). This bridge, opened on 25 September 1842, had two arches and a metal fence. The essentials of the bridge have been preserved until today, which is evidenced by the inscribed dedication to the archduke above its central pier, reading in Latin "ARCHIDVCI. FRANCISCO. CAROLO. MDCCCXLII. CIVITAS.", which means "To Archduke Franz Karl in 1842 by the Town."

In order to prevent the 1842 stone arch bridge from being a bottleneck, the architect Jože Plečnik designed in 1929 the extension of the bridge with two footbridges at a sligh angle on each side of it. In collaboration with his student Ciril Tavčar, who drew the plans, he published the proposal in the same year in the journal Ljubljanski Zvon. Construction started in 1931 and continued until spring 1932. The bridge was opened for traffic in April 1932. The bridge was renovated in 1992. Since 2007, all the three bridges have been part of the Ljubljana pedestrian-only zone.

Seen on a Cold and Frosty Morning. Brigg Garden Centre is the flagship centre of the British Garden Centre Group and is one of the largest garden centres in the UK. It joined the family-owned group in 2000 and since then has seen massive developments and constant improvements to provide you with a local first-class garden centre.

We are taking pictures of money today at We’re Here!

I decided to combine my Money Collection with a beautiful source image provided by Kreative People Administrator, Xandram. It’s for the “Treat This” challenge 168, and you can see a thumbnail of the original in the first comment box below.

I also wanted to tell a story about the great outing I had yesterday visiting an area involved in the California “Gold Rush”. The history on display is so "enriching"! I saw the historic pioneer cemetery in Marysville, Yuba County, and stopped by an old mining town site in Butte County called Oregon City to see a covered bridge and an 1800's one-room schoolhouse. The highlight of my glorious day was a long ramble on Table Mountain, where vernal pools, little seasonal streams, and a multitude of spring wildflowers are delivering a show-stopping display. You see some of the “California Gold” here in my collage which features goldfields (Lasthenia californica) and yellow carpet (Blennosperma nanum).

I hope I’ll have time in the coming days to sort through the nearly 1,000 photos, and check on my id’s of over two dozen different species. If you don’t care for wildflowers, you might want to “unfollow” me for a little while! ;-)

And a final note: HSS and Happy Easter!

Excerpt from the brochure:

Rail Adventure's 43480 emerges from the Great Western booking hall which spans the lines between platforms 2 and 3 at Tyseley at dusk on a chilly Friday evening. The 125 Group in association with RA and Chiltern Railways had organised this tour reminiscent of the Master Cutler in connection with the 125th Anniversary of the opening of London Marylebone. 1Z46 was due a crew change here and with that duly completed the tour departed this delightful station which is packed with period features of the railways of yesteryear.

Passeig de Gràcia is lined with 32 lampposts designed the Modernist architect Pere Falqués i Urpí. Born in 1850, Falqués had a profitable career, ascending to the coveted position of architect of the city at the age of 39 and holding the post between 1889 and 1914.

An award-winning figure in his field, the architect worked on numerous projects within the city.

These included churches, schools, and monuments amongst many others, as well as the light features that adorn Passeig de Gràcia.

Meh, it's much better in person. It features an explosion at the top right, a spilled acid tank, a shot up Torpogan flying through the air with blood tracks, and a wrecked Torpogan hovercraft.

The Torpogans are the mando-looking ones, and the SFF are the ones with Atlantis Torsos. The Apoc Wanderer I made last night is the Torpogan commander. Also, if you loo closely, there's an arm hanging off of the ledge in the back. :3

I hate the blurry photos!
