La basilique Notre-Dame du Valentin (1832-1835) à Lausanne, en Suisse, est la première église catholique érigée dans le chef-lieu vaudois depuis l’introduction de la Réforme en 1536. Elle a été promue au rang de basilique en 1992 et classée monument historique en 2003 (Canton de Vaud - Suisse) (Wikipédia)

This memorial to the U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq is at Santa Monica Beach, next to the famous Santa Monica Pier. There is a cross (or star or moon) for each dead; there is also a sign that says if all Iraqis killed were so honored it would cover the whole beach. No matter how you feel about the situation politically or ideologically, the overwhelmingness of it is halting.
As The Father comments below: Peace on Earth.
"El Zulo is a large, bronze statue located on the harbour front boardwalk in Cartagena. It is made of hollow bronze and it has a height of 4.80 meters and two tons of weight. It represents the figure of a seated man, naked and helpless, hugging his legs with his head down, in an almost fetal position. From what I understand, it was placed there after the Madrid train bombing several years ago, and stands as a silent memorial to victims of terrorism around the world. The sculpture reminds us that the world is not always a kind or safe place. It is worth a brief pause to remember all the people who have suffered because of evil."
Try to pause each day and take a walk to look around anything.

Nach Ankunft im Bahnhof Boekelo der MBS machen der Wismarer Triebwagen, sein Führer und der mitgefahrene Osterhase Pause.
Mass Coastal's ex CDOT FL9s 2026 (blt. Sept. 1957 as NH 2007) and 2011 (blt. Sept. 1960 as NH #2038) bracket five cars on the Cape Cod Central dinner train on the railroad's Falmouth Branch. While the classic EMDS are on home rails there is actually no evidence of them running on this actual line in New Haven days. The streamlined 5-axle EMDs stayed on the mainline to Hyannis and GP-9s, RS-3s, or RDCs normally handled the runs down to Woods Hole.
Having traveled north from Hyannis the train ran across the bridge to Buzzards Bay as far as Cohasset Narrows and then reversed back over the bridge to Canal Jct. and down here on the branch to afford the passengers views of the gorgeous beaches and inlets as they enjoy their dinner service. Here on the causeway over the Pocasset River at MP 3 was where they stopped and shortly they will begin slow rolling back north to be in position to await the southbound MBTA/MassDOT CapeFLYER from Boston, so they can use the same bridge window to get back on the Cape Main to follow the Flyer back home to Hyannis.
I still get a kick out of seeing these dome cars here in Massachusetts because their time overlapped mine in Alaska for a few years where I saw them daily when I worked for the ARRC.
The dome at left was built by Budd and delivered to the SantaFe in 1954. It never ended up in Amtrak service instead going to the private Auto Train and then the NYSW before being bought by Westours in 1985. After an extensive rebuild it came to Alaska in 1987. It would travel south for more upgrades in 1997 but would last under Westours successor Holland America Lines until 2009. That year it was acquired by Iowa Pacific and saw use on the Saratoga and North Creek before ending up here on the Cape and ultimately was purchased by Mass Coastal from the estate of the bankrupt IP yet still wears its scheme from its time in Alaska and its name Matanuska.
The dome to the right was also built by Budd and delivered to the Great Northern in 1955 for use on the famed Empire Builder. It passed to BN in 1970 and then Amtrak in 1971 before being sidelined in 1979. After that it had a pretty fascinating history before being saved by Westours and restored to the tune of $1 million! It came to Alaska in 1997 and stayed for 22 years leaving in 2009 when Iowa Pacific bought it. They subsequently removed the rooftop a/c units from Holland America days and restored it to its rightful GN paint and name, Prairie View.

I'm coming downstairs, all dressed up in my blue party dress, thus making my entrance into the living room in style. This calls for a short pause on one of the steps in order to show my pretty dress, do a nice feminine pose and make a sweet picture for my Flickr friends.
