MYANMAR ,Burma - Old-Bagan, Sonnenuntergang mit Blick von der imposanten Shwesandaw-Pagode(Tempel)
Die Stufenpyramide hat fünf quadratische Terrassen, dann zwei achteckige Zwischenstufen und schließlich den klassischen zylindrischen Stupa-Aufbau mit Glocke, Turban, doppeltem Lotus, Bananenknospe und Hti. An den vier Seiten führen bis zur fünften Terrasse Treppen hinauf. Früher dienten sie den Gläubigen, damit sie die inzwischen verschwundenen Terrakotta-Platten mit Szenen aus den Jatakas auf den einzelnen Terrassen erreichen konnten; heutzutage steigen Touristen hinauf, um den Sonnenuntergang zu bewundern.
The step pyramid has five square terraces, then two octagonal intermediate steps and finally the classic cylindrical stupa structure with bell, turban, double lotus, banana bud and hti. Stairs lead up to the fifth terrace on the four sides. They used to serve the faithful so that they could reach the terracotta slabs with scenes from the Jatakas on the individual terraces, which have since disappeared; nowadays tourists go up to admire the sunset.
to fortify our memory and reconstruct the narrative of our personal adventures. They’re a way of proving to ourselves, especially when we’re feeling dull, that we’ve led interesting lives and have always been surrounded by people who cared for us. They’re also a way of keeping at bay the perception that life is fleeting and we can’t hold onto the past :-)

The courtyard of the Hohes Schloss castle above the town of Füssen.
The construction of the castle was begun (illegally!) in 1291/1292 on the location of an 3rd to 5th century Roman castellum. The owner of the grounds stopped the works right away, the Gothic style castle was then completed in 1322 by a new owner.
Nowadays it houses the local tax office and some picture galleries.

Nowadays, Groundhogs are very popular on February 2 every year, but the above question arises in respect of remainder of the year. Here is an example.
This one, which I take to be a female, lives at the base of this stump on our property and eats grass and weeds, mostly nocturnally. In the evenings, she frequently basks in the setting sun on this wheel, which is well removed from any buildings. It would be nice to gain some influence with her and to affect her predictions, but she seems nice but is socially remote and camera shy, so we have no relationship.
Nowadays, I'm too much busy, not just work.....Sometimes visiting your photo/s are lately but I had to....Thanks....

Nowadays, there are only 8 apostles left. Due to the continuing erosion that effects, not just the limestone stacks, but the coastal land, the current cliffs are expected to eventually become rock stacks.
It is the first time I have ever visited when there was absolutely no people around, usually it's very difficult to get a spot to take a photo here!
See photo below...
Many thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves, very much appreciated.
Winter in São Paulo at the moment
23°C / 73°F
Nowadays it is still little known, but now it is being very commercialized, at least at CEAGESP (Market in São Paulo) I found several seedlings, they call succulent hedgehog.
This succulent caught my attention for its beauty. With a more delicate appearance, it certainly appears to be fragile, but on the contrary. Its rosette is very dense and can reach 10cm in height. The leaves are fleshy, dark blue-green, covered with tiny hairs. When kept in full sun, it intensifies its color, appearing black and keeps the rosettes denser and more compact.
Why choose this succulent at the time of arrangement? Firstly, it reproduces on the sides, which after some time fills a basin with several dense rosettes, secondly its color is very beautiful which gives a contrast of texture and interesting color in the arrangement.
The buds start to appear in summer, bright red in color, but with small white flowers, remaining for a few weeks.
The name "Sinocrassula" means "Chinese crassula". They come from the Yunnan province in the south of China, and also from the north of Burma. They grow at an altitude between 2,500 and 2,700 m
Synocrassula Yunnanesis prefers colder than warmer places. Remember that full sun does not mean hot places. What is easier to be cultivated in southern Brazil, due to our more tropical climate.
I love watching these beauties
sorry for the adverse, but you know - that's what it is nowadays at YouTube...
"Rapunzel, Rapunzel,
Let down your hair to me."
Immediately the hair fell down and the king’s son climbed up.
Nowadays the modern Rapunzel has a staircase in her tower...
"Rapunzel, Rapunzel,
laß Dein Haar herab"
Unverzüglich fiel ihr Haar herab und der Königssohn kletterte hinauf.
Heutzutage hat die moderne Rapunzel eine Treppe in ihrem Turm...

The ruins of Château de Domfront - which are situated in a park nowadays.
The fortification began as a fort built of wood built on this hill - which has quite a stunning view over the surrounding area - in the 11th century. It belonged to William the Conqueror and his family, and as such went to several later English kings. King John (Lackland) lost Normandy to the French, but this castle was his personal property - it was given to Philip I, Count of Boulogne, and then left to his daughter Jeanne, but she died without issue and the castle went to the French crown. The place saw continuous fighting throughout the Middle Ages (including being besieged during the Hundred Years' War by the English). The castle was ordered to be demolished in 1608 by Maximilien de Béthune, Duke of Sully.
The place has been labelled as a "Monument historique" since 1875.

When we nowadays hear or read the word bookmark, we usually think of it in relation with an Browser on our computers and mobilephones for our visit in the world wide web. But there used to be a time when this word was standing for use only for books. And this is how our tiny little helpers still use it in their little world. A nice Dragon brass bookmark is a great place for my tiny friend to sit down, relax and read for a little while. :)

Ostgals (“Port end”) district west of Old Town is a collection of low rise homes. Some of them are especially old (as are the narrow cobbled streets). Once the district was inhabitted by dock workers, but today it is also liked by the local elite.
A quiet part of Ventspils, which began to form after the invitation expressed by the Russian government in 1836 and the announced advantages for the surrounding farmers to settle down in the dune belt, in order to prevent the city from becoming dusty with sand. Also it has been a village for fishermen. Nowadays, it is a unique, romantic environment with cobbled quiet streets, attractive 19th century. wooden construction and essential pelargoniums in the windows. Ostgal has been recognized as a monument of urban construction of national importance. In 2009, after a large-scale reconstruction, the city's Theater House "Jūras vārti" provides a buzz in Ostgal. Throughout the year there will be concerts, exhibitions, theater performances, celebrations and balls.
Been busy nowadays with a series of seminars. This was taken while we are having a coffee break.

Nowadays the colonial structure of the Church & Convent of Santo Domingo sits on top of the original Korikancha foundations, but inside many of the original temple buildings remain.
ZAANSTAD - nowadays amalgamates a number of smaller towns and villages, which have their origins in Late Middle Ages. The Zaan river connects the centre of Noord-Holland to the IJ river and Amsterdam, and on both sides of the river villages sprung up that soon became involved in all kinds of industrial activities. Most activity was concentrated on the west side of the river, where in the 17th century a string of small towns grew into the first industrial area in the world. Hundreds of windmills were employed to produce all kinds of produce like flour, timber, paints and oil for the city of Amsterdam - at the time the largest port of the world. While the Zaan Region lost much of its importance in the 18th century, it became the centre of Dutch food industry in the late 19th and 20th century.
In front the Voorzaan, left the Harbour with its Historic Ships.
Farming yesteryear enthusiast's keenly ploughing as in olden days
A ploughing match is a contest between people who each plough part of a field. Nowadays there are usually classes for horse-drawn ploughs and for tractor ploughing. Points are awarded for straightness and neatness of the resulting furrows.

While I am curious about the formation of the lines on the slope, a Flickr friend from Malaysia was specific about the bitter coldness there or thereabout in winter. Nowadays, I suppose more people are concerned about the isolation here and I'm not too sure if folks there have access to the internet, or even to Amazon ?

Nowadays everyone has a wallet, but in the past it was different.
A money bag was seen as poor, not something for ladies and gentlemen.
Ladies and gentlemen did not do their business via the money bag.
The oldest known wallet was found with Otzi the Iceman who lived around 3000 years before Christ.
A small leather hip bag was found with him.

Because it happens so frequently, no one who rides the NYC subway regularly is nowadays the least bit surprised when musicians or singers get on a train to perform and then to solicit contributions. Of course enough people must give them money to make it worthwhile, but my experience is that most riders avert their eyes, pretend that nothing unusual is going on, and just hope that the noisy intruders will go away as quickly as possible. It was that kind of reaction that I set out to capture when I took this photo, But there’s more to the story. It was Christmas Day and thjs fellow was a very talented accordionist who played a beautiful medley of Christmas music. By the time he was through, he exited to the applause of many passengers and with a very full tip box. It all happened so quickly that I couldn't get a good photo. But it’s a nice Christmas story , and I thought I’d share it

This piece of national architecture of 19th Century relates to south of Polavshchyna and that as of nowadays has disappeared. It was built in 70th of 19th Century.
The house from Revasivka village has never been reconstructed since it had been built. Its window frames were re-made in the mid-50th of 20th Century. The walls are decorated with clay of different color; inside there is a carved cupboard, painted trunk and national pictures in interior.
The house from Revazivka village was discovered in 1976 by an architect Lukianchuk V.D. and restored in the Museum in 1977-1978.
Few words about Revazivka village, as it were never mentioned in modern sources. In the middle of 19th Century, this village was called Novakivka and belonged to Ploshchanska volost of Poltava povit in Poltava hubernia.
It was a village of a proprietor, with 179 souls in 18 yards. Officially, Revazivka is called sloboda. There were 219 inhabitants in 44 homesteads.
Nowadays, the village of Revazivka has joined to Grekopavlivka village. It now relates to Stovbynska village council in Novosanzharskyi district of Poltavska Region.
The house is of two rooms (a home, a mudroom), of combined structure. A two-room house could be met only in poor villages belonging to proprietors. A three-room house was more traditional for Poltava area.
The house is built on piles. Above the windows, piles are covered with shingles. A longitudinal ceiling beam and upper parts of piles have tips on sidewall adjacent to the stove, so forming reasonable overlap of the roof. A lumber lay on tips to support auxiliary beams of the roof. Ceiling comprises ceiling beam and slyzhni. The slyzhni are surfaced by caber, and then covered with clay.
The four-slope roof of the house is low, supported by rafters and covered with cane sheaves, as there were a lot of cane in the waterlog river valley near Revazivka.
Combines, log and framework structure of a national dwelling on south Poltavshchyna was typical of this region, poor in building wood.
Especially interesting was filling of this house’s framework walls: there were twiggen with mullein. This grass grew high near Revazivka, and had strong stems. The local say: “Even shipworms never eat mullein”.
This is a house of two rooms (a home and a mudroom) with framework and log walls. Under the windows, walls are framework: horizontal hlytsi are nailed to vertical piles, with osier between them. Above the windows, planks of three parts are fixed to piles. A longitudinal ceiling beam is fixed thereto and two transverse ones (one in the home, another – in the mudroom). The longitudinal beam and tops of planks have overlaps on sidewall, adjacent to the stove, so forming reasonable overlap of the roof. Inside and outside, the house is clayed and whitewashed, except for back wall, only clayed. The house stays now on concrete basement.
Area – 53.92 square meters (5.15 x 10.47).
Хата з с. Ревазівка, Новосанжарського р-ну, Полтавської обл.
Пам′ятка традиційного народного будівництва XIX століття в південній Полтавщині, яких на даний момент в регіоні не існує. Побудована в 70 – ті роки ХІХ століття.
Хата з с. Ревазівка від її існування не перебудовувалася. У середині 50-х років ХХ століття перероблені віконні рами. Підводка стін кольоровими глинами, різьблений мисник, мальована скриня, народний живопис в інтер’єрі.
Хата с. Ревазівка виявлена в 1976 році архітектором Лук′янчуком В.Д. і реставрована в Музеї у 1977 – 1978 роках.
Коротко про село Ревазівку, оскільки в сучасних джерелах воно не згадується. Поселення Ревазівка в середині XIX століття називалося Новаківка і належало до Площанської волості Полтавського повіту Полтавської губернії.
Було воно поміщицьким селом і проживало там 179 душ у 18 дворах. Старожили розповідають, що Ревазівкою володів пан Ревазов. У 1926 році Ревазівка офіційно зветься слободою, з числом мешканців – 219, які проживали у 44 господарствах.
Зараз село Ревазівка з’єднане з селом Грекопавлівкою і належить до Стовбинської сільради Новосанжарського району Полтавської обл..
Хата дводільна /хата, сіни/, комбінованої конструкції. Дводільні хати траплялися тут тільки в бідних поміщицьких селах. Традиційно на Полтавщині було тридільне житло.
Хата збудована на сохах. На сохи, вище вікон покладено ощіп. Подовжній сволок та верхні вівнця ощіпу мають з покутнього причілку випуски, утворюючи значний винос даху. На випуски укладено брус, на який спираються наріжники даху. Основу хатньої стелі утворюють сволок і слижні. По слижнях укладено щільно жердини, а зверху шар м’ятої глини.
Чотирисхилий дах хати невисокий, на кроквах. Покриття з очерету, техніка – «парки». Очерету біля Ревазівки росло багато на заболоченій річковій долині.
Комбінована зрубно – каркасна конструкція народного житла південної Полтавщини була характерною для цього регіону, бідного на будівельний ліс.
Особливо цікавим було заповнення каркасу стін даної хати с. Ревазівка: стіни були заплетені коров’яком. Коров′як поблизу Ревазівки ріс високий, з міцним стеблом. «Коров′яка і шашель не бере».
Дводільне житло (хата, сіни). Стіни каркасно – зрубні. До вікон стіни каркасні: до вертикальних сох прибито горизонтальні глиці, між якими всторч заплетена лоза. На сохи, вище вікон, покладео ощіп з трьох вінців. В ощіп врубано подовжній сволок та два поперечні (один у хаті і один у сінях). Подовжній сволок та верхні вінця ощіпу мають випуски з покутнього причілку, утворюючи значний винос даху. Хата ззовні і всередині обмащена і побілена крім задньої, порудованої стіни. Хата встановлена на бетонний фундамент.
Площа - 53,92 м2 (5.15 х 10.47).

The Royal House of Estremoz Castle houses nowadays a Pousada. Its construction began in the 13th century under D. Sancho III reign, continuing during the reigns of D. Afonso III and D. Dinis. The Royal House was built during the reign of the later. The Holy Queen passed away in this castle. The front of the castle is dominated by a 27m high keep. It has a pentagon-shaped plan, surrounded by a wall reinforced by tower-like wing walls. The keep was totally built in marble blocks. It has three monumental balconies in the third floor. In 1736 D. João V rebuilt the former Royal House of D. Dinis, where he founded the Arms’ Room, a famous arm museum of that time. Part of the castle was destroyed after a gunpowder magazine explosion in 1698. Following the Restoration of Independence (1640), the city was bordered by a bastion-like wall, which remains almost intact nowadays.
