Sagrada Família, Barcelona, España.
El Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia, conocido simplemente como la Sagrada Familia, es una basílica católica de Barcelona (España), diseñada por el arquitecto Antoni Gaudí. Iniciada en 1882, todavía está en construcción (noviembre de 2016). Es la obra maestra de Gaudí, y el máximo exponente de la arquitectura modernista catalana.
La Sagrada Familia es un reflejo de la plenitud artística de Gaudí: trabajó en ella durante la mayor parte de su carrera profesional, pero especialmente en los últimos años de su carrera, donde llegó a la culminación de su estilo naturalista, haciendo una síntesis de todas las soluciones y estilos probados hasta aquel entonces. Gaudí logró una perfecta armonía en la interrelación entre los elementos estructurales y los ornamentales, entre plástica y estética, entre función y forma, entre contenido y continente, logrando la integración de todas las artes en un todo estructurado y lógico.
La Sagrada Familia tiene planta de cruz latina, de cinco naves centrales y transepto de tres naves, y ábside con siete capillas. Ostenta tres fachadas dedicadas al Nacimiento, Pasión y Gloria de Jesús y, cuando esté concluida, tendrá 18 torres: cuatro en cada portal haciendo un total de doce por los apóstoles, cuatro sobre el crucero invocando a los evangelistas, una sobre el ábside dedicada a la Virgen y la torre-cimborio central en honor a Jesús, que alcanzará los 172,5 metros de altura. El templo dispondrá de dos sacristías junto al ábside, y de tres grandes capillas: la de la Asunción en el ábside y las del Bautismo y la Penitencia junto a la fachada principal; asimismo, estará rodeado de un claustro pensado para las procesiones y para aislar el templo del exterior. Gaudí aplicó a la Sagrada Familia un alto contenido simbólico, tanto en arquitectura como en escultura, dedicando a cada parte del templo un significado religioso.
The Expiatory Church of the Sagrada Familia, known simply as the Sagrada Familia, is a Roman Catholic basilica in Barcelona, Spain, designed by architect Antoni Gaudí. Begun in 1882, it is still under construction (November 2016). It is Gaudí's masterpiece and the greatest exponent of Catalan modernist architecture.
The Sagrada Familia is a reflection of Gaudí's artistic plenitude: he worked on it for most of his professional career, but especially in his later years, where he reached the culmination of his naturalistic style, synthesizing all the solutions and styles he had tried up to that point. Gaudí achieved perfect harmony in the interrelationship between structural and ornamental elements, between plasticity and aesthetics, between function and form, between content and container, achieving the integration of all the arts into a structured and logical whole. The Sagrada Familia has a Latin cross plan, five central naves, a three-aisled transept, and an apse with seven chapels. It boasts three façades dedicated to the Birth, Passion, and Glory of Jesus. When completed, it will have 18 towers: four at each portal, making a total of twelve for the apostles, four over the transept invoking the evangelists, one over the apse dedicated to the Virgin, and the central dome tower in honor of Jesus, which will reach 172.5 meters in height. The temple will have two sacristies next to the apse and three large chapels: the Assumption Chapel in the apse and the Baptism and Penance Chapels next to the main façade. It will also be surrounded by a cloister designed for processions and to isolate the temple from the exterior. Gaudí applied a highly symbolic content to the Sagrada Familia, both in architecture and sculpture, dedicating each part of the temple to a religious significance.
the integration of all life experiences is a very tough thing, but absolutely necessary

En tant que l'une des minorités les plus ciblées en Occident, les musulmans sont régulièrement confrontés à la menace de harcèlement, de vandalisme et de représentations négatives dans les médias grand public. À son tour, cette discrimination affecte négativement les nombreuses cultures et ethnies associées à la religion. De nombreuses personnes se sentent en danger en dehors des limites de leurs propres communautés culturelles, ce qui ne fait qu'aggraver la ségrégation dans notre société occidentale.
Pour le photographe Marwan Bassiouni, se concentrer sur nos similitudes est la porte d'entrée pour embrasser nos différences. En tant qu'homme musulman égypto-américain-suisse, il a vécu et pratiqué sa religion partout dans le monde, faisant l'expérience de sa perception dans diverses cultures. Pour son projet New Dutch Views, Bassiouni positionne l'expérience islamique comme synonyme du mode de vie hollandais – un rejet de la distinction pour faire place à une intégration transparente.
As one of the most targeted minorities in the West, Muslims regularly face the threat of harassment, vandalism and negative portrayals in mainstream media. In turn, this discrimination negatively affects the many cultures and ethnicities associated with religion. Many people feel unsafe outside the boundaries of their own cultural communities, which only worsens the segregation in our Western society.
For photographer Marwan Bassiouni, focusing on our similarities is the gateway to embracing our differences. As an Egyptian-American-Swiss Muslim man, he has lived and practiced his religion all over the world, experiencing its perception in various cultures. For his New Dutch Views project, Bassiouni positions the Islamic experience as synonymous with the Dutch way of life – a rejection of distinction to make way for seamless integration.

Who has recently visited Riga - 2023 - must have noticed the large excavation works in the area between the bus station and the railway station.. What is happening here?
Rail Baltica is the Project of the Century or the largest Baltic-region infrastructure project in the last 100 years
It is a greenfield rail transport infrastructure project with a goal to integrate the Baltic States in the European rail network. The project includes five European Union countries – Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and indirectly also Finland. It will connect Helsinki, Tallinn, Pärnu, Riga, Panevežys, Kaunas, Vilnius, Warsaw. The Baltic part of the Rail Baltica project is referred to as the Rail Baltica Global Project. Its total length in the Baltic States is 870 kilometres (540 mi), with 213 kilometres (132 mi) in Estonia, 265 kilometres (165 mi) in Latvia, and 392 kilometres (244 mi) in Lithuania
As a result of the implementation of the Rail Baltica project, a modern, multi-modal traffic hub will be created at the centre of Riga, which will increase mobility, safety, accessibility and also provided new features to Riga, visually and functionally connecting parts of the city thus far separated by the railway embankment as well as conveniently connecting both banks of the Daugava River for pedestrians and cyclists by a new railway bridge.
Happy Truck Thursday!
For Macro Mondays "Numbers" theme. A mechanical integrator is a complex device that was used to calculate ship's stability before digital computers became practical. The complete device is similar to this image: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mechanical_integrator_CHM...
The lens used was an old manual Zuiko 80mm f/4 macro on a sliding extension tube and micro 4/3's adapter, in spite of what the exif info states. Four Olympus high res shots were stacked in Photoshop. I would of liked to gotten one more but ran of focus adjustment.

While the broken clay pipe used to protect the shoreline along this section of Lake Ontario makes somewhat unsure footing to walk on I loved the contrast it created.
