La place de la bourse à Bordeaux (fait partie du Port de la lune).
Le Port de la Lune est le nom familièrement donné au port de Bordeaux, du fait d'un large méandre en forme de croissant que décrit la Garonne lorsqu'elle passe dans la ville. C'est l'origine du croissant de lune qui figure au bas du blason de la ville.
Depuis le mois de juin 2007, cette partie de la ville de Bordeaux est classée au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO.
La rive gauche a été du xvie au xxe siècle le principal site du très actif port de commerce de Bordeaux.
Le Port de la Lune représente un ensemble urbain et architectural exceptionnel (ici la place de la bourse), créé à l’époque des Lumières, dont les valeurs ont perduré jusqu’à la première moitié du XXe siècle. Bordeaux est exceptionnelle au titre de son unité urbaine et architecturale classique et néo-classique, qui n’a connu aucune rupture stylistique pendant plus de deux siècles. Son urbanisme représente le succès des philosophes qui voulaient faire des villes un creuset d’humanisme, d’universalité et de culture.
Bordeaux, Port of the Moon, represents an outstanding urban and architectural ensemble, created in the Age of Enlightenment, whose values have continued up to the first half of the 20th century. Bordeaux is exceptional in the unity of its urban and architectural classical and neo-classical expression, which has not undergone any stylistic rupture over more than two centuries. Its urban form represents the success of philosophers who wanted to make towns into melting pots of humanism, universality and culture.
El Puerto de la Luna es el nombre popular otorgado a la ciudad portuaria de Burdeos, creando por el meandro de un largo estuario marítimo formado por el río Garona creando la forma de un croissant. Este croissant de luna queda reflejado en el escudo de la ciudad.
En junio de 2007 la ciudad de Burdeos y el Puerto de la Luna fueron inscritos en la lista del Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco.

Michel Ragon (Jan. 1996)
"À travers le destin exemplaire de cinq jeunes agriculteurs d'aujourd'hui, Michel Ragon nous plonge dans le drame de nos campagnes écrasées, mises au carré, laminées par les eurocrates, les ingénieurs, les banques, les énarques parisiens... Il nous dit la fin des Dochâgne au terme d'une histoire paysanne magistralement commencée avec Les Mouchoirs rouges de Cholet ; la fin d'un monde, d'une harmonie avec la nature ; la fin d'un certain humanisme qui casse devant la brutalité, souvent absurde, de la technocratie et de l'industrialisation à outrance.
Récit d'une fin mais aussi cri de révolte pour que la terre ne meure pas.
Ce roman nous montre comment les histoires individuelles se brisent sur les cataclysmes d'une époque, comment un sentiment poignant de révolte, de désolation, de fureur monte, comment "la mémoire des vaincus" survit à tout, jusqu'au plus fol espoir. Toujours les coquelicots reviendront. Michel Ragon s'engage en grand romancier dans les tourments de cette fin de siècle pour mieux témoigner de son temps."
"Through the exemplary destiny of five young farmers today, Michel Ragon immerses us in the drama of our countryside crushed, squared, rolled by Eurocrats, engineers, banks, Parisian enarques... He tells us says the end of the Dochagnes at the end of a peasant story masterfully begun with Les Mouchoirs rouges de Cholet; the end of a world, of a harmony with nature; the end of a certain humanism which breaks before the brutality, often absurd, of technocracy and excessive industrialization.
A story of an end but also a cry of revolt so that the earth does not die.
This novel shows us how individual stories break on the cataclysms of an era, how a poignant feeling of revolt, desolation, fury rises, how "the memory of the vanquished" survives everything, even the wildest hope. The poppies will always come back. Michel Ragon engages as a great novelist in the torments of this end of the century to better bear witness to his time."

New Lanark is a small 18th- century village set in a sublime Scottish landscape where the philanthropist and Utopian idealist Robert Owen moulded a model industrial community in the early 19th century. The imposing cotton mill buildings, the spacious and well-designed workers' housing, and the dignified educational institute and school still testify to Owen's humanism.

Kasteel Sorghvliedt (ook: Zorgvliet) is een kasteel met park in de tot de gemeente Antwerpen behorende plaats Hoboken, gelegen aan de Marneflaan 3.
Geschiedenis
In de 16e eeuw stond hier een hoeve met de naam Winckeleynde en ook een klein hof van plaisantie (buitenhuis). Dit domein was van 1660-1815 in bezit van de familie Du Bois. Dezen lieten van 1745-1750 het kasteel op de 16e-eeuwse fundamenten van het buitenhuis optrekken. Dit kasteel werd gebouwd in rococostijl. Architect was Jan Pieter van Baurscheit de Jonge. In 1752-1753 werden ook de tuinen naar zijn ontwerp aangelegd. Begin 19e eeuw werd een belvedère gebouwd.
In 1937 werd het kasteel aangekocht door de toenmalige gemeente Hoboken. In de daaropvolgende jaren werd het ingericht als gemeentehuis. Het kasteelpark werd een openbaar park. Daar waar de moestuin en de boomgaard zich bevonden werden sportvelden aangelegd. De fonteinen in de vijver zijn afkomstig van de Expo 58.
Kasteeldomein
Het kasteel heeft twee verdiepingen en een U-vormige plattegrond. Het kasteel was oorspronkelijk gelegen binnen een rechthoekige omgrachting die nog gedeeltelijk aanwezig is. De westgevel met ingangspartij is rijk versierd en toont het wapenschild van de familie Du Bois.
Het domein heeft verder een oranjerie, een hovenierswoning, een wegkapelletje, een classicistische belvedère met zuilengalerij. In het ruim 16 ha grote domein staan de beelden Humanisme van Marcel Mazy en De Rivier van Velitchko Minekov.
In het zuiden en zuidoosten van het domein vindt men bos. Het betreft een zuur beukenbos waarin ook een aantal monumentale bomen aanwezig zijn.

what do you think?
The original Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci and Banksy's modern reinterpretation offer a fascinating contrast in artistic intent, technique, and cultural commentary.
Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa
- Era & Style: Painted between 1503 and 1506, da Vinci’s masterpiece is a quintessential example of Renaissance portraiture, showcasing his mastery of sfumato (soft blending of tones).
- Subject & Expression: The painting features Lisa Gherardini with an enigmatic smile, a serene expression, and a naturalistic background, emphasizing harmony and realism.
- Symbolism: The Mona Lisa is often interpreted as a representation of ideal beauty, mystery, and the Renaissance’s pursuit of humanism.
- Technique: Da Vinci’s meticulous layering of oil paint creates de- pth and lifelike softness, making the portrait appear almost three-dimensional.
Banksy’s Mona Lisa Bazooka
- Era & Style: Banksy’s version, created around 2007-2008, is a street art piece using stencil techniques, a hallmark of his rebellious and provocative style.
- Subject & Expression: While retaining the original’s calm demeanor, Banksy’s Mona Lisa is depicted holding a rocket launcher, juxtaposing classical beauty with modern aggression.
- Symbolism: This reinterpretation critiques society’s desensitization to violence, war, and political unrest, turning the Mona Lisa into a symbol of defiance rather than mystery.
- Technique: Unlike da Vinci’s delicate brushwork, Banksy employs bold, high-contrast stenciling, reinforcing the immediacy and rawness of street art.
Key Differences
| Feature | Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa | Banksy’s Mona Lisa Bazooka |
| Medium | Oil on wood panel | Stencil graffiti |
| Era | Renaissance (1503-1506) | Contemporary (2007-2008) |
| Expression | Serene, enigmatic | Calm but menacing |
| Symbolism | Beauty, mystery, humanism | War, rebellion, social critique |
| Technique | Sfumato, soft blending | High-contrast stencil |
Banksy’s version transforms da Vinci’s masterpiece into a statement on modern conflict, making it a striking example of how classical art can be reinterpreted to reflect contemporary issues. Would you like to explore more reinterpretations of the Mona Lisa? There are quite a few fascinating ones!
To be the servant of the world does not mean being a slavish imitator of the world. Quite the contrary: it is to be so free from the world’s definitions that you’re free to offer God’s love quite independently of your own security or success...
...To be ‘blessed’ is simply to be where God would have you be: if you are aware that there is a place where God would have you be, then your state of mind, your achievement in occupying that place, the effects of your labours, all become irrelevant. ‘Rejoice, and be exceeding glad’ (Matthew 5.12, KJV): you are where God is, in the place of poverty, humility, peacemaking, suffering and longing for justice, and what matters is to be there faithfully.
--Rowan Williams, Luminaries: Twenty Lives the Illuminate the Christian Way: Michael Ramsey 1904–88 True humanism

*Working Towards a Better World
The downfall of the attempts of governments and leaders to unite mankind is found in this- in the wrong message that we should see everyone as the same. This is the root of the failure of harmony. Because the truth is, we should not all see everyone as the same! We are not the same! We are made of different colours and we have different cultures. We are all different! But the key to this door is to look at these differences, respect these differences, learn from and about these differences, and grow in and with these differences. We are all different. We are not the same. But that's beautiful. And that's okay.In the quest for unity and peace, we cannot blind ourselves and expect to be all the same. Because in this, we all have an underlying belief that everyone should be the same as us at some point. We are not on a journey to become the same or to be the same. But we are on a journey to see that in all of our differences, that is what makes us beautiful as a human race, and if we are ever to grow, we ought to learn and always learn some more. - C. JoyBell C.
The ground we walk on, the plants and creatures, the clouds above constantly dissolving into new formations - each gift of nature possessing its own radiant energy, bound together by cosmic harmony. -

Nicholas of Cusa (1401 – 11 August 1464), also referred to as Nicholas of Kues and Nicolaus Cusanus, was a German philosopher, theologian, Catholic cleric, jurist, mathematician and astronomer. One of the first German proponents of Renaissance humanism, he made spiritual and political contributions in European history. A notable example of this is his mystical or spiritual writings on "learned ignorance," as well as his participation in power struggles between Rome and the German states of the Holy Roman Empire.
As papal legate to Germany from 1446, he was appointed cardinal for his merits by Pope Nicholas V in 1448 and Prince–Bishop of Brixen two years later. In 1459, he became vicar general in the Papal States.
Nicholas has remained an influential figure. In 2001, the sixth centennial of his birth was celebrated on four continents and commemorated by publications on his life and work. (Wikipedia) Bernkastel-Kues, Germany

The logos thematized by the Greeks led man beyond his raw nature to the spiritual. Only then was his true humanity established. The Logos, who incarnated in Jesus Christ (John 1:14 EU), was also the basic principle of human education.

(translating of the Song)
Stand On My Feet
I'm like a bombarded land
With a verse smeared across,
Life's last school desk
And (I'm like) an immigrant bird
I'm stubborn and my stomach can handle it
Just like Paul and his phony pound
I never received the love I gave
Fate wanted it that way
How will I be able to stand on my feet,
After so many blows?
I've forgotten the steps
But I can't say, "I can't"
I have to start dancing
In this enormous, cruel world,
Who really gets what they deserve?
I don't want to but I have this grievance
Because the wheels aren't turning
How will I be able to stand on my feet,
After so many blows?
I've forgotten the steps
But I can't say, "I can't"
I have to start dancing
How will I be able to stand on my feet,
After so many blows?
I've forgotten the steps
But I can't say, "I can't"
I have to start dancing
(You've all forgotten what it means to be human,
You only bother with,
Obliging to personal interests
Nothing else, just obliging to personal interests
We've figured you out)

Villa La Rotonda is a Renaissance villa just outside Vicenza in northern Italy, and designed by Andrea Palladio. The proper name is Villa Almerico Capra, but it is also known as La Rotonda, Villa Rotonda, Villa Capra and Villa Almerico. The name "Capra" derives from the Capra brothers, who completed the building after it was ceded to them in 1592.
