Built in the mid 1750's, the church is for the Patron Saint of Bohemia, John of Nepomuk, who was martyred by being drowned in the river Vltava. The unusual garland star over the church is in reference to a star-shaped garland found near his remains. He is therefore considered to be the patron saint of all people in danger of drowning.

Well worth the visit, but good luck finding it, as it has several names (German, Italian, etc) and isn't close to any major roads.

Windows of opportunity come and go, and unfortunately my window in the short amount of time we had here at the church (San Giovanni in Italian) the lighting was poor from a completely overcast sky. Fortunately it burned off for some sun later on in the day, when we were further along the Greater Dolomites Road.

Crescent Rock Overlook, Shenandoah Valley, Virginia by GSB Photography

217 636

One of the best things to do in the fall in Northern Virginia is to take Skyline Drive to see the colors changing in the Appalachians. The many overlooks afford sweeping views of both sides of the Appalachian Ridge.

From Wikipedia: The Shenandoah Valley is both a geographic valley and cultural region of western Virginia in the United States. The valley is bounded to the east by the Blue Ridge Mountains, to the west by the eastern front of the Appalachians, to the north by the Potomac River and to the south by the James River. The cultural region covers a larger area that includes all of the valley plus the Virginia highlands to the west.

Palazzo Cavalli-Franchetti, Venice by GSB Photography

456 973

Palazzo Cavalli-Franchetti is a palace adjacent to the Ponte dell'Accademia, one of only four bridges that spans the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy. The palace was erected in 1565, and went though a series of renovations throughout the mid-19th Century. Since 1999 it has been the seat of the Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti (Venetian Institute of Sciences, Letters and Arts). It frequently houses cultural events.

The Grand Canal is the lungs, major artery and highway of Venice. The banks are lined with more than 170 buildings, most of which date from the 13th to the 18th century, and display up front the art and architecture created by the Republic of Venice thoughout its history.

This photo was taken at almost the same time as this capture of the Grand Canal seen here.

Busy Piazza San Marco, Venice by GSB Photography

370 489

Piazza San Marco (Saint Mark's Square) shot from the viewing balcony on Saint Mark's Basilica. On the far left is the Venetian Lagoon with Saint Theodore's column. The Biblioteca is center left and the base of the impressive Campanile on the right.

Piazza San Marco is so well known, you can either say too much or too little about it, but there is a reason why it is THE tourist draw in Venice, above all others. Here you can find all things Venice in one stop, which is precisely why it is so crazy crowded from about 11:00 am to late afternoon.

In other words, get there early! Beat the other tourists to the Campanile (free standing bell tower, the long line for which is in view on the left), St. Mark's Basilica with its stunning Horses of Saint Mark (and don't miss the balcony, from which this photo was taken), and the Doge's Palace. I recommend you see them in that order, too. You can also see the Biblioteca, the Clocktower and arcades (out of view to the right), take photos of the Bridge of Sighs, shop and eat off square, and when you are ready take a gondola ride from the docks.

Baptistery of St. John, Piazza del Duomo, Pisa by GSB Photography

446 461

The impressive baptistery in the Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles, formally known as Piazza del Duomo) supports the diocese of the Santa Maria Assunta cathedral in Pisa, Italy. The famous walled square is recognized as an important center of European medieval art and is considered to be one of the finest architectural complexes in the world. Along with the batistery, the square features the Leaning Tower of Pisa (the Campanile), the Pisa Cathedral, and the Camposanto Monumentale (Monumental Cemetery). The entire Piazza del Duomo is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Pisa Baptistery, dedicated to St. John The Baptist, is the largest in Italy, at 54.86 m high with a diameter of 34.13 m. It is constructed of marble but was built on the same unstable sand as its more famous neighbor, the Leaning Tower. As a result the Baptistery leans 0.6 degrees toward the duomo. Construction was started in 1152 but was not completed until 1363. The Baptistery was designed by Diotisalvi and is an example of the transition from the Romanesque style to the Gothic style: the lower section is in the Romanesque style, with rounded arches, while the upper sections are in the Gothic style, with pointed arches.

Ceiling, Rauda Tower [Explore 04-06-2016 !] by andbog

466 39

Nasrid Palaces, Alhambra, Granada, Andalusia, Spain

The Rauda Tower (Torre de la Rauda) stands behind the Palace of the Lions (Palacio de los Leones), to which it connected through a door. It was thought during quite a long time that this was the place where the Kings of Granada were buried. However, the cemetery was found outside the palace, more to the south, so that the Rauda must have been its main entrance or the entrance to the original palace.

The tower started to be called like the gardens ("rawda") that surround the building of the royal cemetery, which is located behind the Patio of the Lions (Patio de los Leones) and it is separated from it by a moat.

The first remains of the tower to be found date from the same period as the Arms Tower (Torre de las Armas). These remains were discovered in 1887, when the construction added to the palace of the Harem was demolished. It was then studied between 1925 and 1926. Only the lower part of its walls remains, with fragments of tiles.

Tiger Leaps in to the water! I'm going to really miss these guys ;( by Nikographer

Follow me on FACEBOOK

The keeper put the keg in the water, and the cats paced around for a while, and then this one went in the water! One of the other cats already went in and came out by this point.

I also heard yesterday and confirmed today that these three tigers are leaving the National Zoo this month :( :( :( They're going to Denver I think, and the National Zoo is going to try to get these guys' parents to breed again in time for a spring birth.

From the National Zoo in Washington D.C. 12/04/2005.

(DSC_3125NR_filtered)

Neat Image used to filter out some noise. Nikon D70s, Nikon 70-300mm f/4-5.6. I'm not sure, but I think I may have had the polarizer on. I had it on and off for a bit in this time frame, ~1pm.

Exif data removed by Neat Image: Exposure: 1/250, Aperture: f/8, Focal Length: 190mm, Flash: Flash fired, auto mode (Nikon SB-800 w/shield-diffuser), ISO Speed: 200

I guess 1/250th wasn't fast enough! There's still a bit of blur.

Yay!

Added to the Cream of the Crop pool as Most views as of 3/6/2006.

Funicolare di Como Brunate-Explored #9 on June 17 by JeRoseL'06

145 69

Nel 1894 si inaugura la Funicolare Como-Brunate, simbolo dello sviluppo dei trasporti pubblici di quel periodo, quando ogni centro della provincia era collegato con il comune capoluogo da una serie di linee di pubblico trasporto.

Era il periodo dello sviluppo industriale e dell'inizio di quello che sarebbe diventato il "Turismo di massa".

Nel 1911 viene cambiata la trazione che da vapore diventa elettrica.

Nel 1912 si installa il "cannone" che spara a salve ogni mezzogiorno (riattivato nel 1994 dopo quasi vent'anni di inutilizzo).

Negli anni 1934/35 l'impianto è completamente rinnovato, compreso il rifacimento ex novo della stazione di Brunate.

Nel 1951 si procede ad un ulteriore cambio delle vetture.

Alla fine degli anni '60, il trasporto individuale, tramite l'automobile, mette in crisi il trasporto pubblico, così come si era andato configurando nella seconda metà del XX secolo.

Negli anni '70 a Como, come in altre realtà del Paese, le aziende di trasporto pubblico private, non riescono più a contenere i disavanzi e, una dopo l'altra, entrano in crisi.

Gli enti locali comaschi (Comuni e Provincia) decidono di dare una risposta a tale situazione costituendo un Consorzio che gestisca le linee extraurbane della provincia di Como già in concessione alle aziende STECAV, SALVI, BARADELLO. GRATTONI e DELL'OCA.

Tale consorzio gestirà per un lungo periodo anche l’impianto della funicolare la cui proprietà,nel frattempo, a partire da 1981 era stata trasferita dalla Società Anonima Funicolare Como/Brunate, (il cui azionista di riferimento era il conte dott. Cesare Bonacossa) alla Regione Lombardia.

Nel corso del periodo di gestione in affidamento, il consorzio C.P.T. ha anche operato l’ adeguamento dell'impianto alle nuove esigenze di sicurezza e di tecnologia.

Dal luglio 2005 la gestione della Funicolare Como/Brunate viene infine affidata, a seguito dell’applicazione da parte del Comune di Como delle procedure di liberalizzazione per il comparto dei servizi pubblici di trasporto, ad una società mista con sede in Como (Consorzio Mobilità Funicolare & Bus) all’interno della quale il ruolo operativo di gestione del servizio della funicolare Como- Brunate è affidato all’ Azienda Trasporti Milanesi S.p.A.

These beautiful tulips were courtesy of my hubby in hopes of cheering me up. How sweet was that?

Well, I thought the thief had deleted my images from his stream, but apparently he just deleted the set. He has 17 of my images from the middle of page 7-8. I would suggest y'all block him and I would also appreciate it if y'all would report him to the Flickr team. I wish that Flickr would do more to protect us from this sort of thing from happening.

Have a Happy Easter!
