A view looking northeast from the Capitol grounds toward the Illinois State Library. S. 2nd Street is in the foreground with E. Capitol Ave. heading eastward on the right.
The Illinois State Library was designed by the Chicago architectural firm of Graham, Anderson, Probst and White to harmonize with the other buildings in Springfield's Capitol complex. Construction began in late 1985 and was completed in 1990 at a cost of $36 million.
The exterior features Indiana limestone set over a base of granite highlighted by a fourth-floor frieze etched with the names of 35 of Illinois' most distinguished authors. Among those whose names have been etched in granite are Ernest Hemingway, Carl Sandberg, Upton Sinclair, Jane Addams, L. Frank Baum, Ray Bradbury, and Abraham Lincoln. Each of the 35 authors whose name is etched in stone has made a mark in the history of literature as well as the history of Illinois.
On June 6, 2003, the Illinois State Library building was rededicated and named in honor of the late poet, novelist and lecturer Gwendolyn Brooks Born in 1917, she is regarded as one of the most influential poets of the 20th century, and was the first African-American to win the Pulitzer Prize. In 1968, she was named Illinois Poet Laureate, succeeding Carl Sandburg, and served in that capacity until her death in 2000.
The Illinois State Library was conceived in 1839 by Secretary of State, Stephen A. Douglas. Over the years it has been housed in the Old State Capitol Building, current State Capitol Building, Centennial Building, and now this building. Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, dedicated in 1889, can also be seen in this photo on the left.

Just the still melancholy that I love —
that makes life and nature harmonize.
The birds are consulting about their migrations,
the trees are putting on the hectic or the pallid hues of decay
and begin to strew the ground,
that one’s very footsteps may not disturb the repose of earth and air,
while they give us a scent that is a pefect anodyne to the restless spirit.
Delicious autumn!
My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth
seeking the successive autumns.
George Eliot
On the way to Ljubljana this old bridge in the canyon of Savinja river was one of the really lovely sights. The calm water reflecting the colours of the riverbank made the environment of the robust structure truly harmonizing.

A group of amateur musicians gather at the Newburyport waterfront every few weeks for an impromptu concert and for the joy of harmonizing.
Contributions to Islamic art found in the Sheikh Zayed Mosque include the art of using colors to create original artistic forms. The colors of the walls, columns and the carpet are harmonized together transforming the entire Mosque into an artistic masterpiece and a symphony of colors and shades.

In Lyon's rustic countryside, we stride,
On hiking trails, where wonders hide.
Amidst nature's embrace, we roam,
Through fields and forests, we find our home.
The sun above, a golden glow,
Its warmth upon us, a gentle flow.
As rustling leaves, a symphony play,
We wander freely, on this path today.
Through meadows green and wildflowers bright,
We venture forth, in pure delight.
The scent of earth, the fresh air's kiss,
In Lyon's country side, pure bliss.
The winding roads, they lead us far,
To places where the wild things are.
In every step, a story unfolds,
Of nature's beauty, we are beholds.
With each new bend, a discovery,
Of hidden treasures meant for thee.
In Lyon's countryside, we find,
A sanctuary for heart and mind.
So let us hike, hand in hand,
In Lyon's rustic wonderland.
With every step, our spirits rise,
In nature's arms, we harmonize.
The largest sanctuary complex of Gerasa today extends from the eastern fence of the archaeological site to the temple of Artemis on the far west, which makes about 320 meters. Originally, a via sacra ran from the residential quarters in the eastern part of the city across a bridge (no longer exists) over the Chrysorhoas (Wadi Jerash), through the elongated eastern and the imposing western Propylaea at the Cardo, ascending the wide staircase to the Temenos courtyard with the temple. Through the staggering of the harmonized buildings, the processional way to the sanctuary of the city goddess of Gerasa was grandiosely staged.
From when on the Artemis sanctuary was built is not documented. A dedicatory inscription on the western Propylaea on the Cardo gives the year 150 AD for the completion of this section. In view of the enormous expenditure for such preliminary work alone, such as the bridge over the wadi, retaining walls, excavations, barrel-vaulted substructures for terraces, the hauling of large quantities of stones, etc., the plans and the start of construction must be estimated much earlier. Artemis coins on the occasion of Emperor Hadrian's visit to Gerasa in 129/30 AD may have been minted in reference to such a construction project (Lichtenberger, p. 200). It far surpassed the previously dominant sanctuary of Zeus and was of fundamental importance for the urban development of the city. "With the erection of this new complex, which served cultic concerns, but also trade and commerce, grandeur and the claim of public self-expression found new expression."

🎬 **Prompt (FR)**
Portrait cinématographique hyperréaliste d’une jeune femme aux cheveux rose pastel légèrement ondulés, coupés au niveau des épaules, capturant une douceur éthérée et une élégance contemporaine. Elle tourne légèrement la tête vers l’arrière, regard caméra, avec une expression subtilement mélancolique et captivante. Sa peau est claire, lumineuse, avec des taches de rousseur naturelles finement visibles sur les joues et le nez. Ses yeux bleu clair reflètent une lumière douce et diffuse, créant un effet de profondeur émotionnelle.
L’éclairage est de type **soft cinematic lighting**, avec une source principale latérale chaude et enveloppante, imitant une lumière naturelle filtrée (style golden hour intérieur). Un léger **rim light** souligne délicatement les contours des cheveux roses, créant un halo vaporeux. L’arrière-plan est flou (bokeh crémeux), dans des tons pastel beige et rose pâle, renforçant une ambiance onirique et minimaliste.
La texture de la peau est extrêmement détaillée, avec un rendu **photographique 8K**, micro-détails visibles (pores, duvet, lumière spéculaire douce). Le maquillage est naturel : blush rosé diffus, lèvres légèrement brillantes, cils définis mais subtils. Elle porte un t-shirt rose pâle, texture coton doux, parfaitement intégré dans la palette monochrome.
Profondeur de champ très faible (f/1.4), objectif portrait 85mm, rendu cinématographique haut de gamme. Color grading inspiré des films romantiques modernes : tons chauds, saturation douce, contraste modéré, ambiance feutrée.
Atmosphère globale : délicatesse, intimité, esthétique éditoriale luxe, mélange entre photographie de mode et cinéma d'auteur

This is a serene paradise where the hardness of mountains and the softness of water complete each other.
This is an adaptable system where winter snow and spring vegetation coexist.
This is an inclusive environment where blue, white, green and brown harmonize.
This is a resilient universe where no ripples can disturb its tranquility.

The foundation stone was laid in 1874 and completed in 1883. The architect responsible for its Greek Revival style was Theophil Hansen. He designed the building holistically, aiming to harmonize each element with all the others. He was also responsible for the interior decoration, such as statues, paintings, furniture, chandeliers, and numerous other elements. Hansen was honored by Emperor Franz Joseph with the title of Freiherr (Baron) after its completion. Following heavy damage and destruction in World War II, most of the interior has been restored to its original splendor.

The Pyramids of Hunger are structures designed by the Russian engineer Alexander Golod. They refer to the so-called "energy pyramids", which in occultism are considered transformers or accumulators of some unknown science of "bioenergy".
In the CIS, a lot of pyramidal constructions of the Hunger construction were built, the most famous of which was the pyramid, destroyed by the hurricane on May 29, 2017, built on the 38th kilometer of Novorizhskoe highway. The Pyramids of Hunger caused a wide public response in connection with the speculative pseudo-scientific statements of the author that the form of the pyramids proposed by him allegedly "harmonizes the structure of the surrounding space", bringing it in line with the ideal proportion of the golden section and thus correcting defects caused by unreasonable activities as a community of people. and nature itself.
There is no information on any positive changes in the environment and society on the territories adjacent to the Famine pyramids. According to the conclusion of Academician Eduard Kruglyakov, Chairman of the Commission on Combating Pseudoscience of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the magical properties of the pyramids, declared by the Hunger and other construction workers, have no scientific basis.
Пирамиды Голода — сооружения, разработанные российским инженером Александром Голодом. Относятся к так называемым «энергетическим пирамидам», которые в оккультизме считаются преобразователями или накопителями некой неизвестной науке «биоэнергии».
В СНГ построено множество пирамидальных сооружений конструкции Голода, самым известным из которых являлась разрушенная ураганом 29 мая 2017 года пирамида, возведённая на 38-м километре Новорижского шоссе. Пирамиды Голода вызвали широкий общественный резонанс в связи со спекулятивными псевдонаучными заявлениями автора, что предлагаемая им форма пирамид якобы «гармонизирует структуру окружающего пространства», приводя её в соответствие с идеальной пропорцией золотого сечения и исправляя тем самым дефекты, обусловленные неразумной деятельностью как сообщества людей, так и самой природы.
Сведений о каких-либо положительных изменениях в среде и обществе на прилегающих к пирамидам Голода территориях нет. По заключению председателя комиссии по борьбе с лженаукой РАН академика Эдуарда Круглякова, волшебные свойства пирамид, заявляемые Голодом и другими их строителями, не имеют под собой научных оснований.

Bray, a charming coastal town in Ireland, boasts a picturesque pier that is characterized by its striking geometric design. The angular shape of the pier perfectly harmonizes with the tranquil seascape, evoking a sense of nostalgia and serenity. However, this idyllic scene is juxtaposed against the backdrop of a dramatic sky, which imbues the setting with a touch of unease, creating a captivating blend of beauty and mystery
Die 1116.199 erinnert aktuell an das 60-jährige Firmenjubiläum des Modelleisenbahnherstellers Roco. Am 08. August 2020 konnte ich den ansprechend gestalteten Taurus vor dem NJ 421 von Düsseldorf nach Innsbruck HBF bei Niederaudorf im Inntal fotografieren. Lok und Wagenpark harmonierten farblich gut zusammen.
The 1116.199 currently commemorates the 60th anniversary of the model railway manufacturer Roco. On August 8, 2020 I was able to take a picture of the attractively designed Taurus in front of the NJ 421 from Düsseldorf to Innsbruck main station near Niederaudorf in the Inn valley. The locomotive and the wagon set harmonized well in terms of color.
All this splendor makes me feel a little like a lonesome midget...

It was a little bit dark early morning. Everything was delightfully peaceful in my eyes. That moment wasn't so dramatic, colorful and not black & white. It was a quiet, simple, monotone and peaceful nature. Mountain, water, sky and small village are well harmonized. I hope all have a healing moment with this photo.

White houses, cobbled streets, beautiful squares and many many churches. This is the town of Folegandros, built on a cliff 210 meters above sea level. Perhaps one of the best balconies in the Aegean Sea. In this Chora of Cyclades, the medieval and the Cycladic element harmonize perfectly in a pervasive romantic atmosphere. What impresses is the Castle, which is not the famous medieval fortress but a defensive formation houses. Folegandros, tourism development was respecting the tradition and the Chora is considered the best preserved of Cyclades.

… based on the twelve major and minor notes in an octave in Western music as well as accompanying harmonic chords. But Beethoven would remind her about the power of dissonance–dissonance based on the Western music scale that is. How could the crazy complexities of the world's different music systems, tones, pitches, and rhythms–some quite ancient–possibly be harmonized?
If the world could sing in harmony it was only because the Western music system had spread in the modern world to just about everywhere.
She began to sing in a pop- jingle genre, “I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony. I'd like to hold it in my arms and keep it company.”
The sentiment might have been born of naïveté but it was also brought forth from love.
Irgendwie bin ich mit meiner Island-Reihe noch nicht fertig. Ich zehre immer noch von meinem Aufenthalt in diesem traumhaften Land. Dieses Foto gehört zu meinen Lieblingsbildern, die ich dort aufgenommen habe.
Die exponierte Lage des Hauses, die Farben, die mit dem Himmel harmonieren, die einsame und doch einladende Szenerie, der Schnee auf den Bergen, der sich in den Fenstern widerspiegelt, die Landschaft, die einzelne Person und das Auto, das alleine dort geparkt ist,,, Diese Szene hat mich in den Bann gezogen.
Somehow I'm not finished with my Iceland series. I am still drawing on my stay in this wonderful country. This photo is one of my favorite pictures I took there.
The exposed location of the house, the colors that harmonize with the sky, the lonely yet inviting scenery, the snow on the mountains that is reflected in the windows, the landscape, the individual and the car that is parked there alone ,,, This scene fascinated me.

Housing in the Faroe Islands offers a mix of options, including houses, apartments, and rooms for rent or purchase. The housing market is primarily private, with prices varying based on location and condition. There are also initiatives like Bústaðir, the Faroese Housing Association, which provides low-interest loans for energy-saving home conversions and aims to create new rental apartments. For students, some schools offer rented rooms in "school homes" with shared facilities.
The housing landscape reflects the Faroe Islands' transition from scattered settlements to more urbanized areas
The iconic red grass-roofed houses of the Faroe Islands are a striking blend of tradition and practicality. These turf-roofed homes are a hallmark of Faroese architecture, deeply rooted in the islands' history and environment.
Why Grass Roofs?
Grass roofs have been used in the Faroe Islands for over a thousand years. They provide excellent insulation, keeping homes warm during the harsh winters and cool in the summer. The thick layer of turf also protects against the islands' frequent heavy rainfall and strong winds. This natural roofing material is both eco-friendly and sustainable, blending seamlessly with the surrounding landscape.
The Red Walls
The vibrant red walls of these houses are often painted with a traditional red ochre pigment, which contrasts beautifully with the lush green of the grass roofs. This color choice is not just aesthetic; it also reflects a cultural preference for bright, cheerful hues in the often overcast and misty Faroese weather.
Where to Find Them
You can spot these charming houses in various villages across the Faroe Islands. Notable locations include:
1.Tórshavn: The capital city, where you’ll find traditional turf-roofed buildings like the Prime Minister’s office in Tinganes.
2.Gásadalur: A picturesque village known for its grass-roofed cabins near the famous Múlafossur Waterfall.
3.Bøur: A quaint settlement with many sod-roofed homes offering stunning views of the sea and nearby islets.
These houses are not just relics of the past; they continue to be built and maintained, preserving a unique architectural tradition that harmonizes with the Faroese way of life.

Friendship is an extraordinary mixture that humans feel the need to develop, feel and maintain for a harmonization of group life. It is of a bewitching resonance, making a softness and an ardour of well-being, to live well and especially to communicate well. It surpasses benevolence, which goes far beyond simple behavior and a gracious sympathy customary to good morals. Friendship is this bond woven with tenderness, benevolence, altruism, generosity and especially honesty.
