De Herberto Helder:
[...]
Eu sei: as vigas da cabeça estremecem um pouco.
Partem-se, aqui e ali,
alguns arcos secundários. Uma vida pode tremer
do princípio ao fim. É instantâneo,
eterno. [...]
("As musas cegas - VIII", in Poesia Toda, Assírio e Alvim, 1981)

(rough translation)
I know: head beams shake a little.
Secondary arches, here and there,
are broken. A life can tremble
from the beginning to the end. It is instantaneous,
perpetual.
The owner of this cat informed me
the water cyst on her head is harmless.
Her Vet would rather not remove it...

In the summer season, people park their boats on a special place on the dike.
Photomatix helped to get a better view on the boats.
03-01-2011; I entered this photo into a competition of my home town, thus the winning picture will be published on the cover of the townguide. So, this coming week this picture will be delivered to more than 20.000 homes in Den Helder.
"I have always held that the Cathedral of Lincoln is out and out the most precious piece of architecture in the British Isles" [John Ruskin]
Remigius built the first Lincoln Cathedral on the present site, finishing it in 1092 and then dying on 7 May of that year, two days before it was consecrated. In 1124, the timber roofing was destroyed in a fire. Alexander (bishop, 1123–48) rebuilt and expanded the cathedral, but it was mostly destroyed by an earthquake about forty years later, in 1185 (dated by the British Geological Survey as occurring 15 April 1185). The earthquake was one of the largest felt in the UK: it had an estimated magnitude of over 5. The damage to the cathedral is thought to have been very extensive: the cathedral is described as having "split from top to bottom"; in the current building, only the central lower part of the west front and its two attached towers remain of the pre-earthquake cathedral.
The west front is famous for its 12th century carved frieze, which consists of a series of panels, each a little more than one metre high and varying in width, on which scenes have been carved showing scenes from Heaven and Hell and conveying messages from both the Old and the New Testament.
You Have all seen me wearing this dress and it almost looks as good off as it does on,
Something so feminine when a dress is held against you to see how it might look on.
OK I know I am trying to get this under the radar talking about the dress! what with me not wearing much once again. Think I am going to struggle with new locations to do photos during this lockdown.
So what are you all up to in the troubling time? apart from making out you searching for paint stripper when in fact you are looking at me stripping!
Now that might work for a photo and my room does need sorting :-)
"I have always held that the Cathedral of Lincoln is out and out the most precious piece of architecture in the British Isles" [John Ruskin]
Much of the cathedral was built in the late-12th and early-13th centuries after the previous building had been severely damaged in an earthquake. The rebuilding took place under the auspices of a dynamic bishop, Hugh, now known as St Hugh of Avalon (Avalon being near Grenoble, where Hugh, who spent his early years as a Carthusian monk, was born). Between 1255 and 1280 there was another building campaign, this time extending the cathedral beyond the high altar to make a new east end, with space for a shrine containing the remains of the now canonized Hugh. This new space is known as the Angel Choir and is the part of the cathedral in the photograph above.
The Angel Choir is one of the most beautiful spaces in all architecture. Its proportions are very English – wide but not too high (a French cathedral would be higher in proportion to its width). The window tracery, with its geometrical patterns, is stunning. But the space gets its effect mainly from three other aspects of the design – the use of different coloured stones (light limestone contrasting with dark Purbeck marble), the linear rhythms set up by the multitude of vertical shafts and the mouldings of the arches, and the rich carved decoration (on the capitals, on corbels, up the sides of the windows, in the blind arcading beneath the windows, and elsewhere).
The angels that give the choir its name, incidentally, are high up, carved in the spandrels of the triforium arches – the row of small arches that look like dark unglazed windows above the main arcade.
This weekend, the G7 conference is held in a secluded hotel in the Bavarian alps. Security measures for this conference that lasts less than 48 hours will cost an estimated 360 million Euros - our hard-earned taxes. For that money, half of southern Bavaria is in a state of alert, and more than 30,000 police force are on permanent duty - Munich looks like under a siege.
For that money, one could potentially already buy a venue that would be less exposed and more remote and make it permanent - that would be a much wiser way to spend our tax Euros. ;) Or spend that amount of money for another, much worthier cause, such as fighting hunger in the world.
