You were closer to me than anyone else, but that voice cannot be heard (I'll find out about...the sister's noise)
Yet at long last I was able to meet you within the continued ticking of time
I continue to search for the sister's noise, because these feelings that have accumlated
to where my heart wanders cannot be destroyed by anyone...! (I'll shoot down... the sorrow of your heart...)
The town surreptitiously hid you;
The place that you struggled to arrive; those memories that you recalled
The reality that was repeated was distant;
That pain of yours stays unnoticed
Even if those dreams that I believed in that day tear me apart
I shall still believe in just my most precious hope
Living seemingly for myself, I want to convey this more than anything else (I'll find out about... the sister's noise...)
The pain of sorrow that continues to be born: If I etch in that meaning,
The sister's voice will now be delivered. I'll turn even tears into power and (I'll shoot down... the sorrow of your heart...)
only our connected strength will pierce everything
The end of twilight, the usual townscape,
and the skies that you'd casually looked up at: I remember their gentleness
Your gaze made me notice
the strength of courage to recognize weakness
Those warm hands of yours guides me
I want to protect you more than anything, because hope pierces through darkness
Because the hot feelings that I've embraced closely illuminate this world (I'll find out about...the sister's noise)
Your dreams that I continue to run and search for start to move
The sister's noise begins to echo the meaning of a loud life: (I'll shoot down... the sorrow of your heart...)
I understand it. Irreplaceable bonds do not break.
Living seemingly for myself, I want to convey this more than anything else (I'll find out about... the sister's noise...)
The pain of sorrow that continues to be born: If I etch in that meaning...
You were closer to me than anyone else, but that voice cannot be heard (I'll find out about...the sister's noise)
Yet at long last I was able to meet you within the continued ticking of time
I continue to search for the sister's noise, as I will surely protect the same smile that we both experienced
where our hearts wander to (I'll shoot down... the sorrow of your heart...)
Because they can no longer be destroyed by anyone...!

Benni got another grooming after several months of growing out a disaster cut. This one is way too short and neither of us liked the groomer. She said Benni was "nervous" and that she had mats. Not true, she gets brushed every day. So another 2 months of growing out and on with the search to replace the irreplaceable. Why did Holly have to move to Oregon?
P.S. Good thing I said to leave her whiskers, ears and tail alone!
Schloss Mirow wurde ab etwa 1709 als Witwensitz für Herzogin Christiane Aemilie Anthonie von Mecklenburg-Strelitz errichtet. Baumeister war Joachim Borchmann. Im Herzen des Baus hat sich der hochbarocke Festsaal des italienischen Stuckateurs Giovanni Battista Clerici in seiner ganzen Pracht erhalten. Kaum ein Besucher würde bei der äußeren Bescheidenheit des Schlosses solch einen fulminanten Saal erwarten. Zu den unerwartet prachtvollen Raumkunstwerken gehören auch jene des friderizianischen Rokokos. Der Eintritt Preußens in den Siebenjährigen Krieg verursachte in dem benachbarten Königreich einen fast völligen Stillstand der baulichen Aktivitäten. Die Künstler suchten nun anderswo nach neuen Aufträgen. Dieser historische Umstand führte dazu, dass in Mirow eine zweite Umgestaltungsphase unter Herzogin Elisabeth Albertine begann, die von 1756 bis 1761 ihr Appartement mit originären friderizianischen Innenraumdekorationen von höchster Qualität ausstatten ließ.
Für die Kulturgeschichte ist das Gebäude ein Schatz von unersetzlichem Wert. Die Region des ehemaligen Herzogtums Mecklenburg-Strelitz hat nämlich dramatische Verluste im 20. Jahrhundert erlitten: Das Residenzschloss in Neustrelitz wurde im Jahr 1945 ausradiert. Im selben Jahr fiel auch das Neubrandenburger Palais der Zerstörung anheim. Die ehemalige Sommerresidenz Hohenzieritz hat kriegsbedingt im Inneren bis auf wenige Überbleibsel ihren fürstlichen Glanz verloren. Das Untere Schloss in Mirow brannte schon im 19. Jahrhundert vollständig aus. Somit ist das Obere Schloss das letzte und einzige Denkmal überhaupt, in dem sich die herzogliche Wohnkultur der Mecklenburg-Strelitzer Dynastie erhalten hat.
Trotz der idyllischen Abgeschiedenheit reicht die Bedeutung des Schlosses weit über Mecklenburg-Vorpommern hinaus – bis in die ganze Welt hinein. Die berühmteste Schlossbewohnerin ist Queen Charlotte, die von ihrem Gemahl König Georg III. von Großbritannien „mein Schatz aus Strelitz“ genannt wurde. Nach ihr wurden die Millionenstadt Charlotte in den USA und viele Landmarken weltweit benannt. Aber auch die beliebte Paradiesvogelblume, die Strelitzie, verdankt ihren Namen dem einstigen Mirower Lottchen. Ihr Bruder Adolph Friedrich IV. kam als Fritz Reuters schräger Herzog „Dörchläuchting“ zu zweifelhaftem Ruhm und ihre Nichte Luise sollte die berühmteste aller preußischen Königinnen werden Nach 1761, dem Tod von Herzogin Elisabeth Albertine, kam der Hof nur noch zu Beerdigungen nach Mirow. Nach dem ersten Weltkrieg und der Enteignung der herzoglichen Familie wurde der Bau museal genutzt, später wurde das Schloss Dienststelle der Wehrmacht. Eine erste Renovierung des langsam verfallenden Schlosses gab es 1953, als es zu einem Altersheim umgewandelt wurde, das bis Ende der 1970-er Jahre bestand. Von der Geschichte des Hauses, seiner Bewohners und seiner Rettung nach der Wende von 1989 erzählt eine moderne Ausstellung.im Erdgeschoss
Nach dem Schlossbesuch lockt die Ruhe im Park. Auf geschwungenen Wegen, am Ufer des Sees, in barocken Alleen oder auf der Liebesinsel lässt es sich herrlich lustwandeln. Hier verbindet sich das Naturerlebnis mit den Spuren der Vergangenheit auf idyllische Art und Weise. Schloss und Park Mirow sind Teil eines ganzen Ensembles auf der Schlossinsel. Hier gibt es noch zwei weitere architektonische Höhepunkte: das Renaissancetorhaus und die Johanniterkirche, zu der auch die Familiengruft des Strelitzer Herzogshauses gehört. Im barocken Kavalierhaus gegenüber dem Schloss befinden sich ein Welcome Center und ein Café.

Mirow Palace was built from around 1709 as a widow's residence for Duchess Christiane Aemilie Anthonie of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. The architect was Joachim Borchmann. At the heart of the building, the Baroque banqueting hall by Italian stucco artist Giovanni Battista Clerici has been preserved in all its splendour. Given the outward modesty of the palace, hardly any visitor would expect such a magnificent hall. The unexpectedly splendid works of interior art include those of the Frederician Rococo period. Prussia's entry into the Seven Years' War brought building activities in the neighbouring kingdom to an almost complete standstill. Artists now looked elsewhere for new commissions. This historical circumstance led to the beginning of a second remodelling phase in Mirow under Duchess Elisabeth Albertine, who had her flat furnished with original Frederician interior decorations of the highest quality from 1756 to 1761.
The building is a treasure of irreplaceable value for cultural history. The region of the former Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz suffered dramatic losses in the 20th century: The residential palace in Neustrelitz was wiped out in 1945. In the same year, the palace in Neubrandenburg was also destroyed. The former summer residence in Hohenzieritz lost all but a few remnants of its princely splendour during the war. The Lower Palace in Mirow burnt down completely in the 19th century. This makes the Upper Palace the last and only monument to the ducal residential culture of the Mecklenburg-Strelitz dynasty.
Despite its idyllic seclusion, the castle's significance extends far beyond todays state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania - all over the world. The most famous resident of the castle was Queen Charlotte, who was called "my treasure from Strelitz" by her husband King George III of Great Britain. The metropolis of Charlotte in the USA and many landmarks around the world were named after her. The popular bird of paradise flower, the Strelitzia, also owes its name to the former Charlotte from Mirow. Her brother Adolph Friedrich IV achieved dubious fame as Fritz Reuter's (a 19th century novelist writing in the Low German language) quirky duke "Dörchläuchting " (a half affectionate, half mocking Low German way of saying Serene Highness) and her niece Luise was to become the most famous of all Prussian queens. After 1761, the death of Duchess Elisabeth Albertine, the court only came to Mirow for funerals. After the First World War and the expropriation of the ducal family, the building was used as a museum and later became a Wehrmacht office. The slowly decaying palace underwent its first renovation in 1953 when it was converted into a retirement home, which remained in existence until 1978. A modern exhibition on the ground floor tells the story of the house, its residents and its rescue after the fall of communism in 1989.
After visiting the palace, the tranquillity of the park beckons. Take a leisurely stroll along the winding paths, along the shores of the lake, along Baroque avenues or on the Island of Love. Here, the experience of nature is combined with traces of the past in an idyllic way. Mirow Palace and Park are part of a whole ensemble on Palace Island. There are two other architectural highlights here: the Renaissance gatehouse and the Church of the Order of St. John, which also houses the family crypt of the Mecklenburg-Strelitz ducal family. The Baroque Cavalier house opposite the Palace houses a Welcome Centre and a café.
THE FAIRY CHIMNEYS
In the days before tourism local people called the strange rock cones that surrounded them kales, or 'castles'. Nowadays these amazing structures are usually called peribacalari, or 'fairy chimneys'. They come in an extraordinary range of shapes and sizes but most are tall and phallic-shaped with a cap of harder stone that protects the softer rock underneath from erosion. Eventually these caps fall off, whereupon the wind and rain start to whittle away the cone until eventually it, too, collapses.
Cappadocia - World Heritage List.
In a spectacular landscape, entirely sculpted by erosion, the Göreme valley and its surroundings contain rock-hewn sanctuaries that provide unique evidence of Byzantine art in the post-Iconoclastic period. Dwellings, troglodyte villages and underground towns – the remains of a traditional human habitat dating back to the 4th century – can also be seen there.
Brief synthesis
Located on the central Anatolia plateau within a volcanic landscape sculpted by erosion to form a succession of mountain ridges, valleys and pinnacles known as “fairy chimneys” or hoodoos, Göreme National Park and the Rock Sites of Cappadocia cover the region between the cities of Nevşehir, Ürgüp and Avanos, the sites of Karain, Karlık, Yeşilöz, Soğanlı and the subterranean cities of Kaymaklı and Derinkuyu. The area is bounded on the south and east by ranges of extinct volcanoes with Erciyes Dağ (3916 m) at one end and Hasan Dağ (3253 m) at the other. The density of its rock-hewn cells, churches, troglodyte villages and subterranean cities within the rock formations make it one of the world's most striking and largest cave-dwelling complexes. Though interesting from a geological and ethnological point of view, the incomparable beauty of the decor of the Christian sanctuaries makes Cappadocia one of the leading examples of the post-iconoclastic Byzantine art period.
It is believed that the first signs of monastic activity in Cappadocia date back to the 4th century at which time small anchorite communities, acting on the teachings of Basileios the Great, Bishop of Kayseri, began inhabiting cells hewn in the rock. In later periods, in order to resist Arab invasions, they began banding together into troglodyte villages or subterranean towns such as Kaymakli or Derinkuyu which served as places of refuge.
Cappadocian monasticism was already well established in the iconoclastic period (725-842) as illustrated by the decoration of many sanctuaries which kept a strict minimum of symbols (most often sculpted or tempera painted crosses). However, after 842 many rupestral churches were dug in Cappadocia and richly decorated with brightly coloured figurative painting. Those in the Göreme Valley include Tokalı Kilise and El Nazar Kilise (10th century), St. Barbara Kilise and Saklı Kilise (11th century) and Elmalı Kilise and Karanlık Kilise (end of the 12th – beginning of the 13th century).
Criterion (i): Owing to their quality and density, the rupestral sanctuaries of Cappadocia constitute a unique artistic achievement offering irreplaceable testimony to the post-iconoclastic Byzantine art period.
Criterion (iii): The rupestral dwellings, villages, convents and churches retain the fossilized image of a province of the Byzantine Empire between the 4th century and the arrival of the Seljuk Turks (1071). Thus, they are the essential vestiges of a civilization which has disappeared.
Criterion (v): Cappadocia is an outstanding example of a traditional human settlement which has become vulnerable under the combined effects of natural erosion and, more recently, tourism.
Criterion (vii): In a spectacular landscape dramatically demonstrating erosional forces, the Göreme Valley and its surroundings provide a globally renowned and accessible display of hoodoo landforms and other erosional features, which are of great beauty, and which interact with the cultural elements of the landscape.
Integrity
Göreme National Park and the Rock Sites of Cappadocia, having been extensively used and modified by man for centuries, is a landscape of harmony combining human interaction and settlement with dramatic natural landforms. There has been some earthquake damage to some of the cones and the pillars, but this is seen as a naturally occurring phenomenon. Overuse by tourists and some vandalism have been reported and some incompatible structures have been introduced.
The erosional processes that formed the distinctive conical rock structures will continue to create new fairy chimneys and rock pillars, however due to the rate of this process, the natural values of the property may still be threatened by unsustainable use. The cultural features, including rock-hewn churches and related cultural structures, mainly at risk of being undermined by erosion and other negative natural processes coupled with mass tourism and development pressures, can never be replaced. threats Some of the churches mentioned by early scholars such as C. Texier, H.G. Rott and Guillaume de Jerphanion are no longer extant.
Authenticity
The property meets the conditions of authenticity as its values and their attributes, including its historical setting, form, design, material and workmanship adequately reflect the cultural and natural values recognized in the inscription criteria.
Given the technical difficulties of building in this region, where it is a matter of hewing out structures within the natural rock, creating architecture by the removal of material rather than by putting it together to form the elements of a building, the underlying morphological structure and the difficulties inherent in the handling of the material inhibited the creative impulses of the builders. This conditioning of human effort by natural conditions persisted almost unchanged through successive periods and civilizations, influencing the cultural attitudes and technical skills of each succeeding generation.
Protection and management requirements
The World Heritage property Göreme National Park and the Rock Sites of Cappadocia is subject to legal protection in accordance with both the Protection of Cultural and Natural Resources Act No. 2863 and the National Parks Act No. 2873. The entire territory between the cities of Nevşehir, Ürgüp and Avanos is designated as a National Park under the Act No. 2873. In addition, natural, archaeological, urban, and mixed archaeological and natural conservation areas, two underground towns, five troglodyte villages, and more than 200 individual rock-hewn churches, some of which contain numerous frescoes, have been entered into the register of immovable monuments and sites according to the Act No. 2863.
Legal protection, management and monitoring of the Göreme National Park and the Rock Sites of Cappadocia fall within the scope of national and regional governmental administrations. The Nevşehir and Kayseri Regional Conservation Councils are responsible for keeping the register of monuments and sites, including carrying out all tasks related to the legal protection of monuments and listed buildings and the approval to carry out any restoration-related works. They also evaluate regional and conservation area plans prepared by the responsible national and/or local (i.e. municipal) authorities.
Studies for revision and updating of the existing land use and conservation plan (Göreme National Park Long-term Development Plan) of 1981 were completed in 2003. The major planning decisions proposed were that natural conservation areas are to be protected as they were declared in 1976. Minor adjustments in the peripheral areas of settlements and spatial developments of towns located in the natural conservation sites including Göreme, Ortahisar, Çavuşin, Ürgüp and Mustafapaşa will be strictly controlled. In other words, the Plan proposes to confine the physical growth of these towns to recently established zones. Hotel developments will take into account the set limits for room capacities. Furthermore, the plan also suggested that local authorities should be advised to review land use decisions for areas that have been reserved for tourism developments in the town plans.
Preparation of conservation area plans for the urban and/or mixed urban-archaeological conservation sites within the historic sections of Göreme are in place and provide zoning criteria and the rules and guidelines to be used in the maintenance and restoration of listed buildings and other buildings which are not registered, but which are located within the historic zones. Similar planning studies for the towns of Ortahisar and Uçhisar are in place. Once finalised, a conservation area plan for the urban conservation area in Ürgüp will be in place. All relevant plans are kept up to date on a continuing basis.
Appropriate facilities aimed at improving the understanding of the World Heritage property have been completed for the subterranean towns of Kaymaklı and Derinkuyu, and are required for Göreme and Paşabağı.
Monuments in danger due to erosion, including the El Nazar, Elmalı, and Meryemana (Virgin Mary) churches, have been listed as monuments requiring priority action. Specific measures for their protection, restoration and maintenance are required at the site level.
While conservation plans and protection measures are in place for individual sites, it is recognised by the principal parties responsible for site management that an integrated Regional Plan for the Cappadocia Cultural and Tourism Conservation and Development Area is required to protect the World Heritage values of the property. Adequate financial, political and technical support is also required to secure the management of the property.

For anyone who enjoys Beatles memorabilia, this has been the place to be: the gift shop at the Paul McCartney photo exhibition, which ran at the National Portrait Gallery in London in 2023.
McCartney’s candid photographs from the early 1960s, when the Fab Four were at their zenith, create a loving, intimate visual account of life on the road. It was manic, yes, but the guys were young enough to take it all in their stride. And thank goodness Paul was interested in photography, because what we have here is a unique and irreplaceable record of the most frenetic time in pop music history.
In Scotland we have a series of archeological features built between 500-4,000 years before Christ. We treasure these as the irreplaceable historical artifacts they are. Nah, we leave them out in fields where they offer shelter to sheep and cows.
Just to be clear then, anywhere up to 6,000 years ago a bunch of folks, who had way better things to do (finding enough to eat), set about moving around, and erecting, the biggest pieces of stone they could find. It is amazing to stand in the wind and snow and put your hands on something that was put there by other hands, 300 generations or so ago. And they are everywhere. Which doesn't mean they are always easy to get to or easy to find, but well worth the effort - hail, horizontal rain, or snow. I plan to return with these to try a little watercoloring for final.

► █░▓ AGES AND EPOCHS are made by the generations, and the generations and modern cultures are shaped by particular outstanding individuals. I know it's rather subjective, but be it: this very day marks the end of an era. The last great Serbian writer has passed away today. Milovan Danojlić was a giant and devoted genius who took part in my life privately but far more deep emotionally through his books, the recollections of a time which I only vaguely remember as child. He had an incredible, distinct, almost magical power to dig out the finest nuances of his time - the places, the people, the characters; to present them in a way so that they - normally overlooked - acquire their first true recognition and fill your inner self with an unexpected sense and fullness... My life would have been so much poorer without his oeuvre. There is hardly any sentence that I ever write without his more or less obvious influence sparked long ago. Especially in the last two decades of the last century his writings had been a source of life to me: inspiration and consolation at the same time, my private cultural crystalizing thread, the Good Book replacement, a poetic way to bridge the ages, a set of officially unrecognized volatile values to define our collective being, my communion in this grand scheme of times and souls. By and large the stuff to prove that the decay I was witnessing for my eyes had not always been our collective fate. There is now nobody to replace him, but the times are irreplaceable too; and he has left such a monumental mark that it will make sub-historical phenomena more difficult to evaporate and vanish, provided his books and reading generally are preserved. His output certainly must be enough - it floated between the superhuman abilities and human ardor and commitment. The result is a quite unprecedented reconstruction of the passed, refined and elevated by his manifest poetic charge. He is by far not praised enough by his people, but the time will tell. The loss of such a notable personality, the one who has created an ideal for some of us, makes life in this unprecedented social and cultural ebb tide increasingly difficult to wade on through. May eternal memory be granted to Milovan by our Almighty Lord!
I have received the news of his resting in France somewhere in the middle, half way between Poitier and Ivanovci, the places of his resting and his birth. Furthermore, my location at the moment is in such a remote area that I won't be able to make it to his burial. I was struck as by it as by lightning. The vast almost empty space surrounding me cannot sooth my cry, but is a perfect stage for his soul to roam: he favored Herzegowina a lot. The landscape is much like it, and a geographical and cultural extension of it. Broad expanses of sheer limestone land, enormous mythical flat patches and boastful mountains covered in the lower areas by Mediterranean bushes. The foliage blocks the view in the valleys. You have to reach a higher point somewhere to grasp the biblical proportion and impact of this amazing landscape. Having gathered some strength over a few hours after the news on Milovan's repose, I made my first hike in three years. We climbed a local hilltop, a friend and me scrambling through the difficult pathless limestone terrain. We stood at the flat top of Buljuk near Kuk (324 m) just before the sunset. The skies were clear after the previous full day of permanent cold rain. But the gale ("bura") was chilling to the bone, freezing the hands and biting sharp. In a few minutes the sun was already setting. This is then what I present to you - the last sun of the first day without the great author. The sun sinking behind the hills that block the view to the nearby Adriatic coast, with a cloud belt hovering above the sea. The end of an epoch starts today, on Wednesday November the 23rd, 2022. Nothing can and will be the same any more.
ꒌ ДАНАС ЈЕ ОТИШАО НАЈВЕЋИ: Милован Мића Данојлић [3. VII 1937 - 23. XI 2022], најбољи литерарни изданак србске земље и свога рода икад. Био сам у преписци са њим коју је прекинуо мој узастопни породични бродолом. После тога више нисам смогао снаге да се довољно саберем и са достојним надахнућем обраћам најбољем. Познавали смо се и приватно од пре. У првом браку био је са једном мојом даљом рођаком. Нема ни мог оца више, који је знао толико прича о људима, па и о њему; нема од данас ни њега, остала је из мог круга само његова прва жена са којом на жалост немам контакт.
Свака реченица коју напишем, у некој је даљој или ближој вези са њим, његовим штивом, његовим стилом, који су за мене били литерарно "свето писмо" и буквално животна утеха последње две деценије прошлог века.
Видевши вест на телевизији у забаченој кући Ћакића у Зечеву, у бескрајном кршу Буковице иза Кистања, као гром да ме погодио. Имао сам још неке потајне планове да одем до Поатјеа, нађем негде смештај и попричам с њим о важним стварима из прошлости. Или то исто, само на трему његове обновљене куће у Ивановцима. Осетио сам се као да ми се земља измакла под ногама. Од великих више нема ниједног. Можда он више није ни могао да живи у овој епоси. У оваквом времену опстају само најјачи, они наоружани Христом и православљем, непоколебиви сведоци Крсне Истине и залога будућег живота, спремни да се суоче са сваком сушом и беспутицом. Данојлић се као и сви великани литературе и културе жртвовао пролазноме, да би достигао непролазно: био је скроз предан нашем колективном бићу. Скоро у целини потопљен у своје време, као у живо језеро, у доба у којем је рођен и из којег је поникао и црпао све животне сокове. Он мора да је последњих година духовно преживљавао буквално као риба на сувом. Остати сам (без вршњака, сличних "громада", истомишљеника по перу и духу, носећих искри духа на другим крајевима света) (иако је имао породицу, жену и два велика сина), па још у таквом времену какво је ово, све то претешко је за корифеја времена које је већ истекло и оставило суву сасушену земљу такорећи без живота, а сам живот као спржено бусење траве које једва да и подсећа на свежу, бујну раскош од пре. И ми, иако двадесет година млађи од Милована, већ се осећамо као гости у овом новом добу које за нас нема кров над главом и са себе отреса сваки дух и индивидуалност, а о колективном да не говоримо.
Маран ата!
Вјечнаја памјат Миловану!

The Nevşehir and Kayseri Regional Conservation Councils are responsible for keeping the register of monuments and sites, including carrying out all tasks related to the legal protection of monuments and listed buildings and the approval to carry out any restoration-related works. They also evaluate regional and conservation area plans prepared by the responsible national and/or local (i.e. municipal) authorities.
Studies for revision and updating of the existing land use and conservation plan (Göreme National Park Long-term Development Plan) of 1981 were completed in 2003. The major planning decisions proposed were that natural conservation areas are to be protected as they were declared in 1976. Minor adjustments in the peripheral areas of settlements and spatial developments of towns located in the natural conservation sites including Göreme, Ortahisar, Çavuşin, Ürgüp and Mustafapaşa will be strictly controlled. In other words, the Plan proposes to confine the physical growth of these towns to recently established zones. Hotel developments will take into account the set limits for room capacities. Furthermore, the plan also suggested that local authorities should be advised to review land use decisions for areas that have been reserved for tourism developments in the town plans.
Preparation of conservation area plans for the urban and/or mixed urban-archaeological conservation sites within the historic sections of Göreme are in place and provide zoning criteria and the rules and guidelines to be used in the maintenance and restoration of listed buildings and other buildings which are not registered, but which are located within the historic zones. Similar planning studies for the towns of Ortahisar and Uçhisar are in place. Once finalised, a conservation area plan for the urban conservation area in Ürgüp will be in place. All relevant plans are kept up to date on a continuing basis.
Appropriate facilities aimed at improving the understanding of the World Heritage property have been completed for the subterranean towns of Kaymaklı and Derinkuyu, and are required for Göreme and Paşabağı.
Monuments in danger due to erosion, including the El Nazar, Elmalı, and Meryemana (Virgin Mary) churches, have been listed as monuments requiring priority action. Specific measures for their protection, restoration and maintenance are required at the site level.
While conservation plans and protection measures are in place for individual sites, it is recognised by the principal parties responsible for site management that an integrated Regional Plan for the Cappadocia Cultural and Tourism Conservation and Development Area is required to protect the World Heritage values of the property. Adequate financial, political and technical support is also required to secure the management of the propert

"In the late 1800s, a young woman saw an irreplaceable treasure in the vastly shrinking woodlands of Atlanta. Ahead of her time, perhaps, this naturalist led the charge to preserve 65 acres of forest in the shadows of city expansion and neighborhood development. It’s believed that one of her favorite places in the forest was a creek bank covered with ferns, which she named 'Fernbank.' "

In Scotland we have a series of archeological features built between 500-4,000 years before Christ. We treasure these as the irreplaceable historical artifacts they are. Nah, we leave them out in fields where they offer shelter to sheep and cows.
Just to be clear then, anywhere up to 6,000 years ago a bunch of folks, who had way better things to do (finding enough to eat), set about moving around, and erecting, the biggest pieces of stone they could find. It is amazing to stand in the wind and snow and put your hands on something that was put there by other hands, 300 generations or so ago. And they are everywhere. Which doesn't mean they are always easy to get to or easy to find, but well worth the effort - hail, horizontal rain, or snow. I plan to return with these to try a little watercoloring for final.

I visited a data recovery service located in Ginza, Tokyo. They said my broken data can be salvage! I'm relieved to hear that but that's unexpected expenses...
You must buck up your irreplaceable data. Don't forget please!

Embrace me,
My sweet embraceable you.
Embrace me,
You irreplaceable you.
Just one look at you -- my heart grew tipsy in me;
You and you alone bring out the gipsy in me.
I love all
The many charms about you;
Above all
I want my arms about you.
Don't be a naughty baby,
Come to papa -- come to papa -- do!
My sweet embraceable you.
“A baby is God's opinion that life should go on. Never will a time come when the most marvelous recent invention is as marvelous as a newborn baby. The finest of our precision watches, the most super-colossal of our supercargo planes don't compare with a newborn baby in the number and ingenuity of coils and springs, in the flow and change of chemical solutions, in timing devises and interrelated parts that are irreplaceable.”

Höfði is a house in northern Reykjavík, the capital city of Iceland, built in 1909. Höfði is located at Félagstún. Initially, it was built for the French consul Jean-Paul Brillouin in Iceland and was the exclusive residence of poet and businessman Einar Benediktsson (1864-1940) for many years. It is best known as the location for the 1986 Reykjavík Summit meeting of presidents Ronald Reagan of the United States and Mikhail Gorbachev of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. That effectively was a step to the end of the Cold War. Within the building, the flags of the United States and the Soviet Union are cross-hung to commemorate the meeting.
In the 1940s and 1950s, it was home to the British Embassy in Reykjavík. The city of Reykjavík purchased the house in 1958, restored it to its former glory. From that time used it for formal receptions and festive occasions.
On 25 September 2009, on the building's 100th birthday, Höfði was damaged in a fire. All irreplaceable artifacts were saved.
Built in 2006 and inspired by Peter Elson artwork from the Galactic Encouters book: Settlers in Space: The Fight for Survival on Distant Worlds.

Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists. It is real. It is possible. It is yours. – Ayn Rand

My workhorse lens for old stones and architecture photography.
I have two other tilt-shift lenses, a 45mm and an 85mm, which definitely have their uses and do things this one cannot, but the 19mm is obviously irreplaceable when a wide-angle is needed.

Situated on Belfast’s Maritime mile The Great Light is one of the largest optics of its kind ever built in the world, and is around 130 years old. Weighing 10 tonnes and measuring 7 metres tall, the optic is a unique maritime heritage object with significance to Belfast's economic, maritime and industrial past. It is totally irreplaceable and is an exceptionally rare maritime artefact. It produced one of the strongest lighthouse beams ever to shine - a truly GREAT LIGHT.

haha of course the one i took 2 seconds before going into the camera store survived, but not the irreplaceable ones
one of six photos (out of a total of 48) that actually, slightly, came out when i brought in my film on this day

Wow, I can not believe I managed getting through a whole month of this project!
I shot this one day when I had no inspiration and I love how it came out so much. It's supposed to represent a girl who's heart has been ripped out and now there's an irreplaceable hole where it should be.
Idk I hope you enjoy it and the awkward tan placed on my legs.

They don't make pub fronts like this any more. The Midland in Liverpool still promotes the delights of long defunct Walker's Warrington Ales. All that marble must have been expensive and the curved glass is irreplaceable.
On February 12, 2016, President Obama signed a proclamation declaring the Mojave Trails National Monument east of Los Angeles in Southern California.
Mojave Trails National Monument: Spanning 1.6 million acres, more than 350,000 acres of previously congressionally-designated Wilderness, the Mojave Trails National Monument is comprised of a stunning mosaic of rugged mountain ranges, ancient lava flows, and spectacular sand dunes. The monument will protect irreplaceable historic resources including ancient Native American trading routes, World War II-era training camps, and the longest remaining undeveloped stretch of Route 66. Additionally, the area has been a focus of study and research for decades, including geological research and ecological studies on the effects of climate change and land management practices on ecological communities and wildlife.

"Correr, competir, eu levo isso no sangue, é parte da minha vida."
Ayrton Senna da Silva
"Os dias em que se podia julgar um piloto por sua velocidade e seus reflexos acabaram. Ayrton Senna tinha uma combinação de conhecimento, concentração e força. Quanto a sua capacidade de concentração nas corridas, ele estava dois a três níveis acima do resto de nós - era extraordinário."

Parece ontem… mas, passam 15 anos sobre o desaparecimento de Ayrton Senna da Silva, o maior piloto de todos os tempos.
As saudades ainda são grandes, bem grandes.
Ayrton Senna da Silva (São Paulo, 21 de Março de 1960 – Bolonha, Itália, 1 de Maio de 1994) foi o maior piloto brasileiro de Fórmula 1, de sempre, três vezes campeão mundial, nos anos de 1988, 1990 e 1991. Foi também vice-campeão no controverso campeonato de 1989 e em 1993.
Faleceu em acidente no Autódromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, em Ímola, durante o Grande Prémio de San Marino de 1994.
Seu excelente desempenho nas fórmulas anteriores (especialmente na Fórmula 3 inglesa em 1983) o levou a estrear na Fórmula 1 no Grande Prémio do Brasil de 1984 pela equipe Toleman-Hart. Logo na sua primeira temporada na categoria máxima, Senna demonstrou rapidamente um talento excepcional levando a pequena equipe inglesa à exaustão e a obter resultados jamais alcançados.
É considerado um dos maiores nomes do esporte brasileiro e um dos maiores pilotos da história do automobilismo
