The Rue du Rempart-Sud, a narrow lane in the old heart of the village of Eguisheim, Alsace, France
Some background information:
The village of Eguisheim is located in the French département of Haut-Rhin in the Grand Est region of France, just about 7 km (4.5 miles) to the southwest of the city of Colmar. Eguisheim has more than 1,700 residents and borders on the Alsace Wine Route. Wine of very high quality is grown here, mainly on shell limestone soil. The village’s municipal area belongs to the Ballons des Vosges Nature Park and lies on the eastern slopes of the Vosges, where many great wines are produced.
In early historic times the area was inhabited by the Gaul tribe of the Senones. In the Roman Age, there was most likely already a castellum on the spot of Eguisheim and it used to be the Romans who developed the cultivation of wine in the Alsace region. The counts of Eguisheim, who ruled the municipal territory in the Early and High Middle Ages, descended from Charlemagne, who was King of the Franks and King of the Lombards in the second half of the 8th century, as well as Roman Emperor and ruler of western and central Europe as from the year 800.
In 1048, Count Bruno of Eguisheim raised to the papacy and thenceforth called himself Pope Leo IX. Right after his burial 1054 in the St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, he was already venerated as a saint by the Catholic Church. In the Middle Ages, a castle was built right in the centre of the Eguisheim, whose further history is closely related to the history of the Château de Eguisheim,
The castle was long believed to date from the 11th or 12th century. This was because historians were relying on texts actually describing another castle, the Château de Haut Eguisheim, which used to be the birthplace of Pope Leo IX in 1002 (who is named "Saint-Léon" in French). But In fact, the castle's octagonal plan and central keep, its masonry and, most importantly, its similarity to other castles date it to the first part of the 13th century.
Built by the counts of Eguisheim, the castle was taken over by the Bishop of Strasbourg during the second half of the 13th century. Until the French Revolution in 1789, episcopal bailiffs occupied it for many centuries. In 1444, the building was temporarily occupied by so-called Écorcheurs (in English: "cutthroats"), demobilised mercenaries, who devastated parts of France after the Armagnac–Burgundian Civil War. During the Thirty Years' War, the château served as a repository for the church treasure of Husseren-les-Châteaux.
Originally the Château de Eguisheim was surrounded by a moat, but by the 18th century, the moat was filled in. Houses built in the castle courtyard and against its walls were destroyed by a fire in 1877 which also damaged the castle. Subsequently, it was left in ruins for several years. In 1885, the castle was again bought by the Bishop of Strasbourg. He organised the architect Charles Winkler to restore the residence and preserve the lower part of the circular wall. Furthermore, it was Winkler’s task to demolish the remains of the former keep and build a neo-Romanesque chapel in its place. This chapel, which is visible in the centre of my picture, was completed in 1895.
Today, the village is a popular tourist destination, not only because the Alsace Wine Route passes Eguisheim, but also because the commune is ranked in the top 20 of the association "The most beautiful villages of France" (in French: "Les Plus Beaux Villages de France"), which promotes small and picturesque French villages of quality heritage. Currently 164 villages throughout France are pooled under the umbrella of the organisation. In 2013, Eguisheim was even voted the "Village préféré des Français" (in English: "Favourite French Village"), an annual distinction that passes from town to town throughout France.

EXPO Jaume Plensa "Something Sacred"
the BAM presents an exceptional open-air exhibition dedicated to the sculptor Jaume Plensa outside its walls. From Rio de Janeiro to Salzburg by way of New York and Chicago, his work has gained international recognition. It’s no less than about fifteen sculptures that will be brought together in the Mons’ public space.
For the very first time in the history of Mons, there will be a museum-like exhibition of monumental sculptures in the heart of the Doudou City: from the Grand-Place to the Saint Waltrude Collegiate Church by way of the Mayor’s Garden and St. George’s hall - a deconsecrated chapel - very recently renovated and reopened for this unique exhibition. This district demarcates the sacred historical centre of Mons as the city has developed between religious and civil power over the centuries; it’s a strong symbolic axis of the City. Jaume Plensa’s sculptures have the particularity of releasing spiritual energy that the artist cultivates outside any religious framework. This veritable face-to-face encounter between the Catalan sculptor and the exceptional heritage aims to bring out this district’s sacred part, which constitutes the original essence of Mons
Having a play with expansion and frameworks. I changed the original white so that is matched and melded into the whitness of the petal, (Could be darker) the green I hope blends in with the background colours. The rain drops are the stars of the shot in my eye.
Have a great weekend everyone.

The cramped conditions of a Victorian Framework Knitters workshop.
The workers worked a fourteen hour day in cramped noisy and dangerous conditions. Pay was so poor it led to the Luddite rebellion of 1811.
The movement began in Arnold (a suburb of Nottingham) a spread rapidly over the next two years.
The Luddites in Nottingham destroyed frames belonging to the 'Master Hosiers'
The Government of the day responded by sending in troops to protect the workshops and a Bill in parliament was proposed to make the breaking of frames punishable by death!

Special:
- Citroën introduced the 2CV SPOT (“Special Production Orange Ténéré”) on April 10th, 1976, to celebrate a major milestone: it had built five million 2CV and 2CV-based cars since 1948.
- The SPOT, based on the entry-level 2CV4, marked a milestone of its own because it was the first limited-edition model offered by Citroën and, broadly speaking, one of the first limited-edition French cars.
- The SPOT two-tone orange / white colour scene and fitted with chromed hubcaps similar to the ones seen on well-equipped Dyane and Ami 8 models, was designed by Serge Gevin.
- The orange and white theme continued in the cabin, where the door panels were upholstered with two-tone cloth upholstery and the seats were wrapped in orange cloth.
- The dashboard and the steering wheel were both brown, which created a rather odd contrast with the otherwise bright and lively cockpit.
- No options were offered, but the SPOT came standard with the individual front seats that were available at an extra cost on the regular 2CV4.
- The first Series SPOT that were built for the French market, sold out almost immediately.
- The second export Series, available late 1976, had a black steering wheel and brown dashboard, also sold out quickly.
- In Switzerland and Great Britain (RHD) the SPOT was only available as 2CV6, so with the 602cc engine.
- In Switzerland, a unique number is placed on the front door of the SPOT’s.
- Its success encouraged Citroën to launch other limited-edition 2CV's including the France 3, the Dolly and the famed Charleston, to name a few.
- There are about 15 original survivors.

Wise people of a strong country!
The 34th day of the full-scale invasion of Russia and our full-scale defense is coming to an end. Successful defense.
I'm sure you saw the news today that the Russian military command allegedly decided to "reduce hostilities in the directions of Kyiv and Chernihiv."
Well, the same can be said about Chornobaivka - as if the Russian aviation simply decided to fly less, and the Russian military vehicles - to drive less. I am grateful to all our defenders, to all those who ensure the defense of Kyiv. It is their brave and effective actions that force the enemy to retreat in this direction.
However, we should not lose vigilance. The situation has not become easier. The scale of the challenges has not diminished. The Russian army still has significant potential to continue attacks against our state. They still have a lot of equipment and enough people completely deprived of rights whom they can send to the cauldron of war.
Therefore, we stay alert and do not reduce our defense efforts. Both in the north of our state and in all other regions of Ukraine, where Russian troops have temporarily entered. The defense of Ukraine is the number one task now, and everything else is derived from it.
It is on this basis that I consider the messages on the negotiation process, which is underway at various levels with representatives of the Russian Federation.
The enemy is still in our territory. The shelling of our cities continues. Mariupol is blocked. Missile and air strikes do not stop. This is the reality. These are the facts.
That is why the Armed Forces of Ukraine, our intelligence and all those who have joined the defense of the state are the only guarantee of our survival today. As a nation. As a state.
The guarantee that works.
Yes, we can call positive the signals we hear from the negotiating platform. But these signals do not silence the explosion of Russian shells.
Of course, we see all the risks. Of course, we see no reason to trust the words of certain representatives of a state that continues to fight for our destruction. Ukrainians are not naive people. Ukrainians have already learned during these 34 days of invasion and over the past eight years of the war in Donbas that only a concrete result can be trusted. The facts - if they change on our land.
Of course, Ukraine is willing to negotiate and will continue the negotiation process. To the extent that really depends on us. We expect to get the result. There must be real security for us, for our state, for sovereignty, for our people. Russian troops must leave the occupied territories. Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity must be guaranteed. There can be no compromise on sovereignty and our territorial integrity. And there will not be any.
These are clear principles. This is a clear vision of the possible outcome. And to those on social networks who perceive words as if they are facts already, I want to remind one thing: we live in a democratic state and fight for our freedom. For freedom for our people.
Therefore, any decisions that are important for all our people must be made not by one person or a group of people with any political views, but by all our people. The wise people of Ukraine.
And certain countries should not even expect that certain negotiations will facilitate the lifting of sanctions against the Russian Federation. The question of sanctions cannot even be raised until the war is over, until we get back what’s ours and until we restore justice.
On the contrary, sanctions must be strengthened. Intensified weekly. And they must be effective. Not just for headlines in the media that sanctions have been imposed, but for real peace. Real.
And to ensure this, a team of Ukrainian and international experts has already begun work to assess the effectiveness of the sanctions imposed on Russia. On the Ukrainian side, this area is coordinated by Head of the President's Office Andriy Yermak, and on the international side by Michael McFaul.
During the day the rescue operation was ongoing in Mykolaiv. The debris of the building of the regional administration destroyed by Russian missile strikes was dismantled. As of now, 8 people have been reported killed and 30 wounded. It is likely that these are not final figures.
The Russian troops hit Mykolaiv very insidiously. At a time when people came to their workplaces in the morning. Thank God, most of those in the building managed to evacuate when they heard an air alarm.
This one more act of the Russian so-called denazification of Mykolaiv took place in the morning after the anniversary of liberation of the city from Nazi invaders. Mykolaiv residents remember the day of March 28, 1944. And they see who the Russian troops trying to capture their city now look like.
I spoke about Mykolaiv today in my address to the Danish Parliament and the Danish people. I invited the society of this country to take part in the reconstruction of the city and the region after the war. In the framework of our program of Ukraine's reconstruction, we involve partner states, leading companies and the best specialists in order to guarantee the speed and quality of the reconstruction of our state.
As I was told, this proposal was very positively received in Denmark.
There is also important news from our government officials. As of today, the new functionality of our "Diia" state service will be available. As I promised, the state will compensate for the loss of a house or apartment as a result of hostilities. Every citizen of ours can already submit an application in "Diia".
Applications are already available in the mobile application. You need to update the app to see this new service. And in a week it will be available offline - in the centers of administrative services. In itself, the functionality in "Diia" is quite convenient. But all the necessary details will still be clarified by our government.
The main thing is that the state will compensate for every meter of lost real estate.
In addition, government officials today expanded the program to help those institutions that support IDPs from the areas of hostilities.
Another important decision was to allocate 426 million hryvnias to pay the miners' salaries.
Traditionally, I signed several important decrees before delivering this evening address. The first is about awarding communications service employees. I am sincerely grateful to everyone who provides the fundamental basis of our lives. Who gives us connection.
By the way, on the day of the beginning of the Russian invasion, the first missile strike in the JFO area was made against them.
12 people were awarded state awards, 4 - posthumously.
The second signed decree is on awarding 126 servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, 34 of them - posthumously.
We will always be grateful to each of our defenders for the defense of our state in the Ukrainian Patriotic War against Russia.
May the memory of everyone who gave life for Ukraine live forever!
Glory to each of our heroes!
Glory to Ukraine!
