Esta pequeña plaza medieval se encuentra en pleno centro de Pontevedra, presidida por la original Capela da Virxe Peregrina, con su planta en forma de vieira, que alberga la imagen de la patrona.
Encrucijada de varias calles y que como nota curiosa alberga la figura del loro Ravachol, propiedad del farmacéutico Perfecto Feijoo, que vivió en la botica que se encontraba en ese lugar.
Vivió en Pontevedra entre 1891 y 1913 y está considerado el loro más famoso del mundo, ya que fue conocido y querido por toda la ciudad por su carisma, simpatía y carácter alborotador y personalidad rebelde.
El simpático animal identificaba algunas situaciones para aplicar sus frases, casi siempre en gallego, que pronto se hicieron populares como (“se collo a vara” “vaite de ahí lambón” “aquí non se fía” …).
Los clientes le regalaban caramelos y golosinas para no recibir ninguna de sus dedicatorias.
Sus insultos llegaron a personas tan importantes como la escritora Emilia Pardo Bazán.
También llegó a decir alguna de sus inapropiadas frases en plena misa, e incluso fue elegido para actuar en el teatro, pero el indisciplinado loro dijo lo que quiso y pronto lo retiraron de escena.
Se dice que la causa de su muerte fue un empacho de bizcochos mojados en vino.
Los pontevedreses quedaron realmente afectados por la mala noticia y decidieron organizar una calurosa despedida para decir adiós a un referente de la ciudad.
A Don Perfecto le llegaron telegramas de toda la geografía española para dar el pésame por su enorme pérdida y también le instalaron una capilla ardiente en la propia farmacia.
Actualmente se recrea el velatorio y entierro del Loro Ravachol en el carnaval de la ciudad, celebración que cierra la semana del carnaval pontevedrés.
Curiosa historia, verdad?
Snowy Egret
From Cornell:
Highly social all year long, Snowy Egrets forage with gulls, terns, ibises, and other herons, and they nest in colonies alongside many other species, including Great Egrets, night-herons, Glossy Ibises, Little Blue Herons, Tricolored Herons, Cattle Egrets, and Roseate Spoonbills.

Construction de la fin du 15e siècle ou du début du 16e, formant un rectangle flanqué, à chaque angle, d'une tour ronde. Chaque pièce possède, en guise d'annexe, une petite chambre hexagonale située dans les tours d'angle. Une tourelle d'escalier, sur la façade, dessert directement à chaque étage les deux grandes pièces.
So many forces act to provide these forms and lines – geologic upthrust and erosive carving, where the light falls and how the winds prevail, patterns of moisture and light that determine the growth of trees and shrubs. In the Wasatch Mountains, near Salt Lake City.
Allium cernuum (or ladies leek) is one of the smallest and most delicate plants in our garden. As a consequence it receives a lot of care . The whole plant is only 6 inches high the flowers are tiny forming on slender erect stems, nodding at the tips. Its not a plant I see in many gardens. it is very slow to spread the small area I have of them may have just about doubled in size in fifteen years. you may have to bend down low to see it but its a gorgeous little plant
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.

Pendones es una pequeña aldea que forma parte de la parroquia de Sobrecastiello en el concejo de Caso, Asturias. Es conocida por su rica tradición en la fabricación de madreñas, un tipo de calzado tradicional asturiano, aunque esta tradición ha disminuido en los últimos años.
Según se toma la desviación de la carretera que sube al Puerto de Tarna hacia Pendones, ahí queda esta cascada que merece la pena parar para verla y fotografiarla.
Feliz fin de semana amigos
Bernard's Bridge is a well detailed bridge forming the entrance to part of an outstanding example of early 19th century urban planning with a classical design scheme by prominent architect James Milne. The bridge was designed to provide easy access to the Raeburn Estate which Milne was developing, and provided a processional entrance to the estate at Dean Terrace. The provision of a bridge made access to and from the area easier as Telford's high level crossing upstream (see separate listing) had not yet been completed and the Stock Bridge, 200metres downstream, was not widened until circa 1830. The large Jacobean stairs may have been planned as part of the 1888 restoration and improvement work of the nearby St Bernard's Well (see separate listing) which was funded by the publisher William Nelson. The bridge is an integral part of Edinburgh's New Town, which is an outstanding example of classical urban planning that was influential throughout Britain and Europe.
The bridge was designed as a key part of the development of the land of Sir Henry Raeburn. The design exploits a prominent site on the river with a broad bowl of flat land to either side providing the ideal place for a crossing. It is likely that Milne was the architect for the bridge as he was working elsewhere on the Raeburn estate, most notably at Ann Street (see separate listings).
Henry Raeburn was born in Stockbridge and acquired the house and grounds of Deanhaugh through marriage, before adding adjacent land at St Bernard's. He occupied St Bernard's House until his death in 1823 when it was demolished to accommodate the growing residential development of the estate, making space for the eastern side of Carlton Street. The authorship of James Milne for the whole development is not certain, but the elevations for the principal streets bear the characteristic features of his designs elsewhere, such as Lynedoch Place (see separate listing) where the streetfronting gardens found on Ann Street are also used.
James Milne was an architect and mason working in Edinburgh between 1809 and 1834 (when he moved to Newcastle). His other works in Edinburgh also include Lynedoch Place and Saxe-Coburg Place (see separate listings). Milne was also the author of The Elements of Architecture only the 1st volume of which was published in Edinburgh in 1812.

Happy Saturday for Stairs
Sui monti che circondano la conca d'Alpago è scesa la prima neve. E' una neve tardoautunnale; sono veli leggeri ed effimeri che avranno beve durata. Eppure essi rivestono la montagna di fascino e ne alleggeriscono l'immagine cupa e massiccia. Grazie ai primi veli di vene, infatti, la montagna rivela tutta se stessa, tutte le sue asperità, le sue forme, i suoi anfratti. Come una signora che offre d'improvviso tutta la sua bellezza ..... ..

The pride not only of Šariš, but also of the whole of Slovakia is the ancient town of BARDEJOV, which is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful Slovak towns. It was included in the UNESCO World Natural and Cultural Heritage List in 2000. Bardejov has also a fitting nickname – “the most gothic town in Slovakia”.
The picturesque square with colorful burgher houses, the majestic Basilica Minor of St. Egidius, the Jewish suburb, the historic town hall, the Executioner's House, well-preserved city walls with bastions ... A huge number of valuable and remarkable monuments in a relatively small area. The city center is formed by the Town Hall Square surrounded on three sides by 46 burgher houses on narrow medieval plots. In the middle stands the Basilica Minor of St. Egidius, in front of which is located the original pair of bells Ján and Urban. The bells were originally placed in the bell tower of the Basilica’s tower. The old bells got damaged over time, so they were replaced by new castings. The Basilica of St. Egidius was built in the middle of the 14th century and contains a unique collection of 11 late Gothic winged altars. Feeling like climbing a flight of stairs? The tower of the basilica offers the most beautiful views of the city.
La Graciosa es una pequeña isla perteneciente a la provincia de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Forma parte del archipiélago Chinijo, junto con los islotes de Montaña Clara, Roque del Este, Roque del Oeste y Alegranza, y todos ellos forman parte del municipio de Teguise, en la Isla de Lanzarote.
En Caleta del Sebo, lugar a donde llegan los barcos desde Órzola en Lanzarote, es donde se concentra toda la infraestructura de alojamiento, con pensiones, casas para estancias prolongadas, apartementos e incluso una zona de camping acondicionada con zona de duchas y baños.
Esta isla es probablemente uno de los pocos lugares de Europa donde todavía no hay carreteras asfaltadas. Es la más desconocida y la que derrocha más serenidad de las Islas Canarias.
Nosotros visitamos el casco urbano de Caleta del Sebo, y efectuamos una visita andando a las playas del sur de la isla, Playa Francesa y Playa de la Cocina. Las oportunidades turísticas de la isla son mucho mayores dependiendo del tiempo de la estancia en la misma.
