A painted wedding cake for some good friends.
The bride wanted it to match her flowers and there was also a butterfly theme.
They were both fruit cakes.
La synagogue de Lausanne a retrouvé ses couleurs d'origine
RestaurationA l’issue de trois mois de chantier, l’édifice lausannois est rutilant, proche de son aspect de 1910. No. 5363.
"Dans la culture judaïque, l’usage est de souhaiter à celui qui fête son anniversaire qu’il vive «jusqu’à 120 ans!» C’est ce qu’espèrent les restaurateurs de la synagogue de Lausanne concernant leurs travaux, terminés cette semaine. Il s’agit de la restauration la plus complète (1900 heures de travail) que l’édifice ait connue depuis son inauguration, en 1910. «Comme lors des restaurations précédentes, rien n’a été surpeint, nous avons retrouvé le décor d’origine, jubile Alain Besse, restaurateur d’art de l’atelier veveysan Sinopie. Les murs sont d’une polychromie extraordinaire, complètement assumée à l’époque.»
En effet, les peintures murales à l’huile, nettoyées en profondeur et complétées à l’acrylique par endroits, présentent un patchwork d’une étonnante gaieté et d’un rare éclectisme. «Nous avons compté quelque quinze types de décors différents», raconte Fanny Pilet, associée d’Alain Besse.
C’est le peintre Otto Alfred Briffod qui signe ces motifs – même si c’est la griffe de l’un de ses employés, un certain Kehrly, que l’on retrouve derrière le tabernacle! L’artiste lausannois, ami d’Auberjonois, a signé d’autres décorations en ville, dont certaines ont été recouvertes, notamment à la salle des Cantons, à la BCV, au Palais de Rumine et au Restaurant du Vieil Ouchy. Les lustres, les bancs et les vitraux de la synagogue datent également du début du siècle et ont bénéficié du même coup de jeune.
Un legs d’«Osiris»
Mais ce ne sont pas uniquement ses ornementations qui font de la synagogue de Lausanne un édifice unique. «Sa situation en ville est, elle aussi, particulière, explique Karen Zysman, architecte en chef et responsable des locaux pour la Communauté israélite de Lausanne et du canton de Vaud (CILV). Isolée (ndlr: au début du siècle, le quartier de Georgette commençait à se développer et des vignes s’étalaient au-delà du carrefour), elle est construite sur un promontoire qui permet de ventiler le sous-sol.» Karen Zysman insiste aussi sur la rapidité avec laquelle elle fut érigée: un an, entre août 1909 et septembre 1910.
L’architecte Charles Bonjour, habitué des églises protestantes, signe les plans de l’édifice avec ses associés Oulevey et van Dorsser. En fait, c’est un modèle réduit d’une autre synagogue: celle de la rue Buffault, à Paris (le porche aux trois portes, la rose et les tables de la loi sont quasi identiques). Non que ces messieurs l’apprécient particulièrement. La volonté posthume de Daniel Iffla, dit «Osiris», les oblige à reprendre l’architecture romano-byzantine du bâtiment parisien, en condition au legs de 50 000 francs à la Ville pour financer le bâtiment (qui aura coûté quelque 300 000 francs, terrain compris).
Le mécène bordelais, juif séfarade et amateur de figures illustres, a aussi financé le monument à Guillaume Tell, à Montbenon. Il voulait remercier le chef-lieu vaudois de l’accueil réservé à l’armée de Bourbaki en 1871, mais aussi permettre à la communauté juive du canton de se doter de locaux dignes de ce nom (Genève a construit sa synagogue cinquante ans plus tôt). Avant 1910, celle-ci se réunissait dans l’appartement d’un des siens à la rue du Grand-Chêne. Mais la communauté n’échappe pas à l’essor phénoménal (+37%) de la démographie lausannoise entre 1900 et 1910.
Financée par les membres
Aujourd’hui, la CILV, forte de 600 familles, soit quelque 2000 membres, se porte bien, à entendre son président, Alain Schauder. «Ces travaux, c’est une vraie fierté. Ils montrent que notre communauté s’investit, continue son développement.» Car ce sont les membres, ainsi qu’un sponsor anonyme, qui ont financé la restauration, devisée à plusieurs centaines de milliers de francs. Ils pourront découvrir le résultat – «un bijou!» – pour Roch Hachana, le Nouvel-An juif. Comme un symbole, ce renouveau marquera le début de l’an 5776. (24 heures)

Just my "winged" pattern that has been in my brain for months. It turned out exactly as I had envisioned.
In occasione della festa della Mamma,a parte l'augurio a tutte le mamme, un doveroso omaggio a colei che mi ha messo al mondo e che con immani sacrifici mi ha permesso di poter camminare sulle mie gambe.
E quando hai dei figli,come nel mio caso, e fai la metà dei sacrifici che hanno fatto loro, i tuoi genitori ti viene spesso da chiederti..."ma come hanno fatto!?!?"
A costo di essere banale "Ti voglio bene Mamma!"

Teena, the pretty orange tabby cat in front, decided it would be nice to snuggle up with Cora, the hen. Cora wasn't to happy with the sleeping arrangements but tolerated it. Teena would snuggle his head in Cora's feathers. Cora would ruffle her feathers and poof out a bit. My cats get along with the chickens and both animals respect each other. But I have never seen the cats and the chickens sleep together. A few years ago our late dog Soapy shared his doghouse with two of our chickens. In payment for use of his doghouse the chickens would lay their eggs for him. LOL!! They were the coziest critters! But Soapy loved those two chickens and protected them from predators. They knew if danger was around all they had to do was run to the doghouse. It all started when we moved from our old house to the one we are in now. Soapy slept in a barn with the chickens there. So when we moved we put Soapy closer to the house so he could be near us and we put the chickens in the barn. The chicken we called Little Red kept hearing Soapy bark and looked for ways to escape the barn. Soon enough Little Red found her way out of the barn and into the doghouse with her "dog" Soapy. That's where she stayed for several years. I highly doubt Teena and Cora will become bed buddies like Soapy and Little Red, but you never know. Strange things do happen in the animal world just like in ours.
By the way the table they are sleeping on was to go in the house but they took it over before I had a chance to take it in. Now Cora is sitting on eggs so It will be several more weeks before it goes inside. LOL!
Thank you everyone!! This photo made Explore!! #459 last count.
A tristeza é senhora
Desde que o samba é samba é assim
A lágrima clara sobre a pele escura
A noite, a chuva que cai lá fora
Solidão apavora
Tudo demorando em ser tão ruim
Mas alguma coisa acontece
No quando agora em mim
Cantando eu mando a tristeza embora

This is the Rendevous Lobby, the original lobby of the Millennium Biltmore Hotel, from its opening in 1923 to 1984. When L.A. redesigned traffic patterns, the main lobby was moved to the opposite side of the hotel. Today, this lobby is the site of afternoon teas, and...well, rendezvous.
Opening in 1923, the Biltmore Hotel is a luxury hotel in Downtown Los Angeles. This "Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument" (designated in 1969) was our "home" for four days. Its storied past includes hosting the Academy Awards in its formative years. In 1929, the hotel's chefs fed the passengers of the Graf Zeppelin, and the 1960 Democratic Covention held there chose John F. Kennedy as its candidate. Over 30 major motion pictures, over 20 TV series and several music videos were either filmed inside or used the exterior of the building as a backdrop.
The Hagia Sophia, built in the year 537, is a former Christian patriarchal basilica, later an imperial mosque, and now a museum (Ayasofya Müzesi) in Istanbul, Turkey. (wikipedia) The interior is amazing and includes mosaics and artifacts from each era.

Those Poor Unfortunate Souls.
So I decided that I would make this week's "30 Songs in 30 days" submissions all based around Disney songs. This one, clearly, is based on The Little Mermaid. I realize that Ursula is in fact a female octopus but for today, you must overlook that detail, lol.
Little Mermaid was the first movie I saw in theatres (I was 4) and I remember watching it and being so freaked out at the end when Ursula comes out of the water and there's the big fight between her and the king. Scuttle was probably one of my favourite disney characters after seeing that movie too, he reminds me a lot of myself. Curious, a bit clumsy, and always on the look out for a cool thing to collect and share.

The expensive way to cross the river. Down under. With lots of light installations. In realy small cars ..
Testando os magnéticos com imã comum. Eu achei super lindo o efeito, porém meio sutil... Mas tá valendo, dá pra fazer bastante coisa bacana com esse tipo de efeito! <3
This is Starr. Bobby has already named her and claimed her. She is 2 weeks old and just a ball of fluff. I think they are artic mix pups judging from their ears and tails. The black ones look like little bears.
first try for my godson's 2nd birthday. they were good but definitely too much work :)
if you want to try them, here's the recipe
thank you so much for another explore!

Inside, the cul-de-four of the apse is decorated with the largest mosaic in France (Émaux de Briare), covering an area of 473.78 m2. Designed by Luc-Olivier Merson and executed from 1918 to 1922 by the mosaicists of the Atelier Guilbert-Martin, it represents the Sacred Heart of Jesus glorified by the Catholic Church and France. At its base we can read a sentence in Latin meaning: To the Most Holy Heart of Jesus, fervent, penitent and grateful France.
A mosaic in the apse entitled Christ in Majesty, created by Luc-Olivier Merson, is among the largest in the world.
***
The Basilica of the Sacred Heart is a temple of the Roman Catholic Church in Paris, and is also the symbol of the Monte Martre district. The basilica is located on top of Monte Martre, the highest point in the city. The Basilica of the Sacred Heart was built with travertine marble extracted from the Seine-et-Marne region, which gives it a white hue.
One of the most visited monuments in France, the basilica is shaped like a Greek cross adorned by four domes, including the eighty meter high central dome. In the apse, a tower serves as a bell tower for a bell measuring three meters in diameter and weighing more than 26 tons.
The basilica's architecture is inspired by Roman and Byzantine architecture and has influenced other religious buildings of the 20th century.
