Canfranc-Estación, Huesca (Spain).
ENGLISH
Canfranc is a municipality in the Aragón Valley of north-eastern Spain consisting of two towns. The name of the village is from Campus Franci, literally the field of foreigners. It was originally a small market village, as well as providing pilgrims on the Arles route of the Way of St. James their first respite after the difficult crossing of the Pyrenees over the pass of Somport.
It was founded between 1080–90 by Sancho Ramírez, King of Aragón. Canfranc was also a command post, protecting the borders and controlling taxes, which were donated to the Cathedral of Jaca.
On 29 October 1288, the treaty of Canfranc mediated by Edward I of England was signed here, providing for the release of Charles II of Naples from his imprisonment by Peter III of Aragon.
The village, which lies in the valley of the Aragón River covers an area of 71,6 km² and is situated at an altitude of 1040 m. The remains to be seen include a Romanesque pilgrim's bridge and two churches of interest: Nuestra Señora de la Asunción (12th-16th c) with four Baroque retablos, and la Trinidad (16th century). The town was obliterated by fire in 1617 and again in 1944, after which the villagers for the most part moved to nearby Canfranc Estación. The current population is 77.
Canfranc-Estación (altitude 1190 m.) was largely created due to the inauguration of a railroad crossing the Pyrenees on 18 July 1928. The trains continued running until an international train accident destroyed the bridge at nearby L'Estanguet and severed the link on March 27, 1970. Canfranc Estación is most well known due to the rumours of "German gold" arriving here during World War II (see external link below). Also, British espionage smuggled information and people from Vichy France to the consulate in San Sebastián through Canfranc since the nearer Irún bordered with occupied France. The train station is the highlight of the village and was used during the filming of Doctor Zhivago. There has been talk for some time of reopening international train traffic between France and Spain, but until that time the area is profiting from its nearness to the ski resorts of Candanchú and Astún. The current population is 454.
The tunnel is being used for the Laboratorio subterráneo de Canfranc (Canfranc underground laboratory).

CASTELLANO
Canfranc (en aragonés Canfrán) es un municipio del Valle del Aragón, comarca de la Jacetania, en la provincia de Huesca (Aragón, España). Consta de dos unidades de población, el pueblo originario Canfranc Pueblo o Canfranc Quemado (4 km al norte de Villanúa y 16 km de Jaca) y 4 km más al norte Canfranc-Estación. Entre ambos sumaban 672 habitantes a comienzos de 2007 (INE), 575 en la Estación y 97 en el pueblo.
En el siglo XI, y a la misma vera del camino de Francia, nació Canfranc como perfecto ejemplo de pueblo fronterizo. En medio de un valle profundo, con escasos recursos agrícolas, sus habitantes se dedicaron al comercio, basando su economía en las transacciones entre Aragón y el Bearn, incluida la acogida de viajeros y peregrinos ya que por aquí discurre el Camino de Santiago aragonés.
Desde antiguo, las comunicaciones interfronterizas han marcado el origen y la evolución histórica del valle: el Somport – también llamados en tiempos el puerto de Canfranc – es el paso fronterizo menos abrupto y más transitado de todo el Pirineo central. Desde el viejo camino de herradura, transformado en 1876 en carretera, hasta la construcción del ferrocarril transfronterizo – inaugurado en 1928 – y el reciente túnel carretero, la historia de las comunicaciones a través del Somport se confunde con la propia historia de Canfranc.
La antigua villa de Canfranc, pese a los devastadores incendios de 1617 y 1944, todavía conserva parte de su antiguo patrimonio monumental. Los restos del castillo, de origen medieval y ampliado en el siglo XVI, se conservan sobre una roca; la fachada de la torre de Aznar Palacín del siglo XIV; la iglesia parroquial de la Asunción, con sus cuatro retablos barrocos; y el conjunto monumental de la Trinidad fundado en el siglo XVI por D. Blasco de Les para atender a pobres y peregrinos.
Tras el incendio de 1944 se trasladó el ayuntamiento y la capitalidad del municipio al que fuera barrio de la Estación, construido a lo largo del siglo XX en la partida de los Arañones. La Estación Internacional de ferrocarril, monumental edificio con cierto aire francés y espectacular cubierta de pizarra, se ha convertido en el emblema más conocido y divulgado de Canfranc.
La Estación Internacional de Canfranc, inaugurada el 18 de julio de 1928 por Alfonso XIII vivió momentos de esplendor y otros oscuros y novelescos como los del famoso oro alemán en tiempos de la II Guerra Mundial. Para su construcción fue preciso realizar una gran obra de ingeniería forestal ya que las avenidas de nieve y desprendimientos de las laderas eran constantes dada la geografía tan abrupta que presenta y la intensa deforestación a la que se vio sometida en los siglos anteriores. Para corregir este problema se realizó lo que se considera uno de los mejores ejemplos de restauración hidrológico-forestal que se conocen. De esta manera se consiguió retener el terreno y restaurar la masa arbórea, lo que posibilitó la construcción del ferrocarril que comunicaría ambos lados del Pirineo.
El 27 de marzo de 1970 un tren de mercancías francés descarriló a la entrada del puente de L'Estanguet en Francia. Desde entonces el tráfico internacional ferroviario quedó interrumpido.
Desde hace años se reclama la reapertura del tráfico internacional y la rehabilitación de la estación y su entorno. La reapertura de la línea sigue en manos del Gobierno francés y la rehabilitación de la Estación se ha visto envuelta en polémica.

Nomi comuni della ROSA CANINA:
*Rosa di macchia
*Rosa selvatica
*Rosa di bosco
Questa pianta deve il nome canina a Plinio il vecchio, che affermava che un soldato romano fu guarito dalla rabbia con un decotto di radici.
La Rosa Canina è una varietà di rosa selvatica, che può crescere spontaneamente nei boschi e nei dirupi. Fin dall'antichità è stata considerata un fiore dalla doppia valenza; da un lato, infatti, la Rosa Canina si caratterizza per la bellezza e soavità del profumo dei propri boccioli, dall'altro per il tronco ed i rami pieni di spine, piccole e appuntite, che rappresentano un ostacolo per chiunque si avvicini e desideri cogliere una rosa. Per questi motivi il significato attribuito al fiore è duplice: delicatezza e piacere ma la tempo stesso anche sofferenza e dolore fisico. Da non dimenticare sono poi le proprietà calmanti e rilassanti associate agli infusi ed estratti ricavati con i petali del fiore.
Credo che, in grande renda meglio l'imponenza della cascata.
La Cascata del Toce o La Frua (Frütt Fall in dialetto tedesco walser) è una cascata che si trova nel comune di Formazza in frazione Frua (Uf der Frütt in dialetto tedesco walser); con essa il fiume Toce compie un salto alto 143 m su un reclinamento roccioso di 200 m, con un fiocco d’acqua alla base di 60 m.
La cascata del Toce è considerata una delle più spettacolari delle Alpi, sebbene l'intervento umano ne abbia ridotto la portata per gran parte dell'anno. A monte della cascata il Toce forma infatti il lago di Morasco, un lago artificiale da cui le acque vengono captate per il funzionamento delle centrali idroelettriche (in successione) di Morasco, Ponte e Fondovalle. In cima alla cascata, vi è lo storico albergo (1863) che visse la bell’epoque del turismo alpino di inizio secolo.
La cascata viene aperta durante il periodo estivo, riprendendo pienamente la propria conformazione naturale. Per arrivare in questo luogo, si percorre l'importante Strada Statale 33 del Sempione che collega Milano con il Confine di Stato di Iselle e giunti a Crevoladossola si imbocca la Strada Statale 659 di Valle Antigorio e Val Formazza che porta appunto alla cascata. Quest'ultima strada è lunga circa 40 km ed in alcuni punti è particolarmente stretta e tortuosa, ma la bellezza della cascata merita certamente una gita.
Questo luogo è ricordato dagli appassionati di ciclismo in quanto qua ci fu, a 3 km dall'arrivo della 19sima tappa del giro d'Italia 2003, l'ultimo scatto di Marco Pantani.
La foto sopra è stata scattata da sopra i gradini della splendida villa che vedete qui sotto,purtroppo non ho potuto visitarla ma ritornerò quando il giardino sarà completamente fiorito.
Villa Carlotta.
Villa Carlotta è un luogo di rara bellezza, dove capolavori della natura e dell'ingegno umano convivono in perfetta armonia in oltre 70.000 mq visitabili tra giardini e strutture museali. La splendida dimora venne commissionata alla fine del 1600 dal marchese Giorgio Clerici: un edificio imponente, ma sobrio, circondato da un giardino all'italiana con statue, scalee e fontane venne così edificato in una conca naturale tra lago e montagne, di fronte ad uno scenario mozzafiato sulle dolomitiche Grigne e la penisola di Bellagio. Ma fu con Gian Battista Sommariva, il successivo proprietario, che la villa toccò il sommo dello splendore, arricchendosi di opere d'arte e divenendo importante tappa nei percorsi del Grand Tour. Sommariva, imprenditore e collezionista d'arte, acquisì la proprietà di Tremezzo agli inizi dell'Ottocento: egli volle che parte del giardino fosse trasformato in uno straordinario parco romantico e che la villa venisse impreziosita con opere di Canova, Thorvaldsen e Hayez: Palamede, Amore e Psiche, Tersicore, l'Ultimo bacio di Romeo e Giulietta sono solo alcuni dei capolavori che fanno ancora oggi della villa uno dei templi dell'arte ottocentesca. Alla metà del XIX secolo la proprietà venne donata dalla principessa Marianna di Nassau alla figlia Carlotta in occasione delle sue nozze con Giorgio II, duca di Sachsen-Meiningen; quest'ultimo, appassionato botanico, si prodigò per lo sviluppo e l'arricchimento del vasto giardino paesaggistico, oggi di grande pregio storico e ambientale. Favorito, infatti, dalla fertilità del terreno dovuta al deposito da parte di antichi ghiacciai di un sedimento particolarmente acido, il parco di villa Carlotta è celeberrimo per la stupefacente fioritura primaverile dei rododendri e delle azalee in oltre 150 varietà. Tuttavia ogni periodo dell'anno è adatto per una visita: in un itinerario tra antichi esemplari di camelie, cedri e sequoie secolari, platani immensi e essenze esotiche si susseguono infatti sorprendenti incontri: il giardino roccioso, la valle delle felci, il bosco dei rododendri, il giardino dei bambù, il museo degli attrezzi agricoli e straordinari scorci che ben giustificano la fama di questo luogo, fin dall'Ottocento considerato "un angolo di paradiso".

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always one reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
Sarah McLachlan was born on January 28, 1968, and adopted in Halifax, Nova Scotia. As a child, she took voice lessons, along with studies in classical piano and guitar. When she was 17 years old, and still a student at Queen Elizabeth High School, she fronted a short-lived rock band called The October Game. One of the band's songs, "Grind", credited as a group composition, can be found on the independent Flamingo Records release 'Out of the Fog' and the CD 'Out of the Fog Too'. It has yet to be released elsewhere. Her high school yearbook predicted that she was "destined to become a famous rock star."
Following The October Game's first concert at Dalhousie University opening for Moev, McLachlan was offered a recording contract with Vancouver-based independent record label Nettwerk by Moev's Mark Jowett. McLachlan's parents persuaded her to finish her studies at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design before embarking on a new life as a recording artist, and McLachlan finally signed to Nettwerk two years later before having written a single song.
In 1997, Sarah McLachlan married her drummer, Ashwin Sood, in Jamaica. McLachlan lost her mother to cancer in December 2001, while McLachlan herself was pregnant. McLachlan gave birth to a daughter, whom she named India Ann Sushil Sood, on April 6, 2002, in Vancouver. By this time, McLachlan had already completed three-quarters of the production on her next record, Afterglow. On June 22, 2007, she gave birth to her second daughter, Taja Summer Sood, in Vancouver. McLachlan announced her separation from Ashwin Sood in September 2008.

The last home of Virgin Mary in Ephesus, Turkey. Three sets of proofs are provided by the American Society of Ephesus:
(1) The tomb of St John is in Ephesus and this is the first basilica in the world dedicated to the Virgin Mary; in the early days of the church places of worship were only dedicated to those who lived or died in the locality.
(2) the Ecumenical council of 431AD was held in Ephesus in this Basilica for the definition of the dogma of the divine motherhood of Mary. The council fathers write of Nestorius ‘… after his arrival in Ephesus, where John the theologian and the Holy Virgin Mary…’
(3) Also the villagers of Kirkindje are the descendants of the Christians of Ephesus. The death of Mary has been passed on generation by generation and they have kept this tradition alive through an annual pilgrimage on August 15th.
NB. The chapel is built on the original foundations, which range in date from the 1st and 4th centuries AD. Part of the building is 7th century and it was partly restored in 1951.
In Islam, Muslims believe that Mary was a Virgin mother who gave birth to Prophet Jesus; however Muslims do not believe that Jesus is the son of God, that Mary is the mother of God; such ideas conflict with the core Islamic teaching that God Almighty is One, without partner, without children, without parents, neither male, nor female, God is, God.
While the church does not officially recognise this as Mary's home, Pope Paul visited and prayed here in 1967.

Name: BOAST, THOMAS TOWNSHEND
Rank: Second Lieutenant Regiment: Norfolk Regiment Unit Text: 3rd Bn.
Age: 28 Date of Death: 29/09/1918 Awards: Mentioned in Despatches
Additional information: Son of George John and M. A. Boast, of Taxal Edge, Whaley Bridge, Cheshire. Native of Holt, Norfolk.
Grave/Memorial Reference: C. 29. Cemetery: NEUVILLE-BOURJONVAL BRITISH CEMETERY
No match on Norlink
The 1901 Census has a Thomas T Boast, aged 10, living at Cromer Road, Holt. This is the household of his parents, George J, (aged 37 and a Domestic Gardener from Thorpe St. Andrews near Norwich), and Mary A, (aged 35 and from Fakenham). Their other children are:-
Alice A………..aged 3.…..born Holt
George J………aged 5.…..born Holt
Mabel M………aged 8.….born Holt
Also staying with them is a niece, Olive M Boast, born Langham and aged 13.
While the 3rd Battalion was a UK based training establishment, it was likely that Lt Boast was on attachment to another Battalion of the Regiment. Neuville-Bourjonval was only re-taken from the Germans at the start of September 1918, and was still very much in the front-line. A study of other casualties buried in this cemetery from this time reveals a number of officer casualties from the units that made up the 15th Brigade, which included the 1st Norfolks.

15th September 1916 Battle of the Somme
The last great Allied effort to achieve a breakthrough came on 15 September in the Battle of Flers-Courcelette with the initial advance made by 11 British divisions (nine from Fourth Army, two Canadian divisions on the Reserve Army sector) and a later attack by four French corps.
The battle is chiefly remembered today as the debut of the tank. The British had high hopes that this secret weapon would break the deadlock of the trenches. Early tanks were not weapons of mobile warfare—with a top speed of 2 mph (3.2 km/h), they were easily outpaced by the infantry—but were designed for trench warfare. They were untroubled by barbed wire obstacles and impervious to rifle and machine gun fire, though highly vulnerable to artillery. Additionally, the tanks were notoriously unreliable; of the 49 tanks available on 15 September, only 32 made it to the start line, and of these, only 21 made it into action
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Flers-Courcelette
An intense preliminary bombardment began on 12 September and at 6.20am on Friday 15 September the advance began in mist and smoke. XIV Corps attack, on the extreme right, where hopes of breakthrough were pinned, fared badly; 56th Division and 6th Division lost heavily as tanks and artillery support failed to neutralise vital defensive positions

On the 1901 Census, the 7 year old Charles W is living at Chapel Street, Holt. His widowed mother, the 34 year old Mary Ann earns a living as a washerwoman. She is also bringing up Augustus, (aged 3) and Susannah, (aged 1), although she has a 35 year old boarder, William White living with her. William is employed as a Hedger. All of them come from Holt.
On 12th October 1915 the Battalion moved from billets to a line in front of the St Elie Quarries, taking over from the Coldstream Guards. The attack was planned to go ahead the following day under a smoke cloud with the Norfolks closing on the German trenches from both ends of their position thus straightening their line, their own trenches being in a semi-circle. The left side of the Battalion was also tasked with bombing a German communications trench. A bright sunny day with an ideal wind for moving the smoke towards the enemy positions, the artillery bombardment began at 12:00 and was intensive by 13:45. 54 heavy and 86 field howitzers and 286 field guns fired on enemy trenches in the area of the Hohenzollern Redoubt, Fosse 8, the Quarries, Gun Trench and the positions south to Chalk Pit Wood. It failed to cause sufficient damage to the enemy positions. The smoke barrage went wrong and ceased by 13:40, twenty minutes before the attack was launched at 14:00 and was thus very thin. German machine gun fire from in front and from the direction of Slag Alley, opposite the Norfolks right flank, enfiladed their attack. Whilst they gained a foothold in the Quarries and consolidated the position they were unable to advance further. In the battalions first serious engagement they lost 5 Officers killed or died of wounds and 6 wounded, and 66 other ranks killed, 196 wounded and 160 missing.

19th April 1917 During the 2nd Battle of Gaza,
Facing the Tank Redoubt was the 161st Brigade of the 54th Division. To their right were the two Australian battalions (1st and 3rd) of the Imperial Camel Corps Brigade who had dismounted about 4,000 yards from their objective. As the infantry went in to attack at 7.30am they were joined by a single tank called "The Nutty" which attracted a lot of shell fire. The tank followed a wayward path towards the redoubt on the summit of a knoll where it was fired on point blank by four field guns until it was stopped and set alight in the middle of the position.
The infantry and the 1st Camel Battalion, having suffered heavy casualties on their approach, now made a bayonet charge against the trenches. About 30 "Camels" and 20 of the British infantry (soldiers of the 5th (territorial Battalion of the Norfolk Regiment) reached the redoubt, then occupied by around 600 Turks who immediately broke and fled towards their second line of defences to the rear.
The British and Australians held on unsupported for about two hours by which time most had been wounded. With no reinforcements at hand and a Turkish counter-attack imminent, the survivors endeavoured to escape back to their own lines.
To the right (west) of Tank Redoubt, the 3rd Camel Battalion, advancing in the gap between two redoubts, actually made the furthest advance of the battle, crossing the Gaza-Beersheba Road and occupying a pair of low hills (dubbed "Jack" and "Jill"). As the advances on their flanks faltered, the "Camels" were forced to retreat to avoid being isolated.

This day was the 2nd day of the battle of Festurbert. The battalion had taken been in action the day before and had taken casualties. For what happened on the day I refer you to the Battalion’s war diary.
17 May 1915 2.30 a.m. Orders received to withdraw Bn. to reserve trenches. Movement completed by 3.45 a.m. About 1.30 p.m. Bn. received orders to be ready to move at shortest notice. Ref.Map 1/10000. ILLIES-VIOLAINE-FESTUBERT. About 3 p.m. orders received to move Bn. into position in rear of old German Fire trench between L1-L2 in order to make an attack in conjunction with 4 Cameron Highs: on left, on points L10, L11, L8 to K5. Battn. frontage from L8-K5. 'B' Coy. on right, under Capt. H.E.Huntriss [Harold Edward HUNTRISS], 2 Bedf.R. 'C' Coy. on right, under Bt.Lt.Col.E.I.de S.Thorpe [Edward Ivan de Sausmarez THORPE, CMG, DSO], 2 Bedf.R. were detailed as the two leading coys: & formed up between L1 & L2. 'A' Coy. under Capt.W.Hutton-Williams [William HUTTON-WILLIAMS] 3rd E.Sur.R. attached 2 Bedf.R. & 'D' Cou. under Maj.J.Mackenzie, V.C. [John MacKENZIE, VC, DCM] 2 Bedf.R. formed up in rear of old British trench, in support, moving up into new line as places were vacated by 'B' & 'C' Coys. About 7.30 p.m. 'B' and 'C' Coys. advanced to the Attack, on right of 4th Camerons, with 2 sections of Bombthrowers under 2nd Lt.W.J. Stonier [William John STONIER], 2nd Bedf.R. working on the right down the communication trench towards K.4. & K.5. 'B' & 'C' Coys. on vacating the trenches to the assault were met by heavy shrapnel, machine gun & rifle fire & Coy.Q.M.S. (Actg.Coy.S.M.) was killed as he climbed over the parapet. (On 22nd May, official information was received, that this N.C.O. had been granted a commission as 2nd Lt. in the 2nd Cheshire Regt). By about 9 p.m. when the whole Battn. less 2 platoons of 'A' Coy. which were kept in reserve by the C.O. (Major C.C.Onslow [Cranley Charlton ONSLOW, CB, CMG, CBE, DSO]) had been launched to the attack, information was received by the C.O. that Lt.Col.Thorpe [Edward Ivan de Sausmarez THORPE, CMG, DSO] had called a halt, as he was unable to collect a party sufficiently strong to assault the German position, owing to the darkness, and many serious obstacles, in the nature of ditches varying from 2 to 5 ft. in depth, and from 2 to 5 ft. in width filled with water, running diagonally as well as parallel to our advance, which had broken all cohesion in the attacking force; and also that he could not gain touch with the Cameron Highrs: Just at this time too, 2nd Lt.W.J.Stonier [William John STONIER] reported having arrived at K.4, & meeting with opposition in that neighbourhood, his party had expended all their bombs and had themselves, with a small party under 2nd Lt.C.H.Brewer [Charles Herbert BREWER], been bombed and trench mortared from the direction of K.5. & had had to retire into the communication trench, which they continued to hold. A portion of the Battn. misunderstanding Lt.Col.Thorpe's [Edward Ivan de Sausmarez THORPE, CMG, DSO] order, had in the meantime retired on to our original position. Under these circumstances the C.O. reformed the whole of the Battn. in the original position, from which the attack was launched (L1 and L2), with the exception of the party in the Communication trench; and informed the Brigadier General H.WATTS how matters stood. During these operations Maj.J.Mackenzie V.C. [John MacKENZIE, VC] was killed & the following officers were wounded: - Capt.H.E.Huntriss [Harold Edward HUNTRISS], Lt.A.E.Kuhn [Alfred Edgar KUHN], 2nd Lts. A.Grover [Albert GROVER], R.S.Lardner [Reginald Seymour LARDNER], Lieut. F.V.Parker [Frederick Vivian PARKER] & R.H.Boys [Richard Harvey BOYS]. During the night information was received that a portion of the 4th Camerons had succeeded in entering the enemy trench. Several men were drowned in the ditches, referred to above

The Battle of Aubers
9 May 1915
Operational approach - two pincers north and south of Neuve Chappelle.
The Southern attack was to be made in easterly direction by the 1st and Meerut Divisions, on a 2400-yard front between Chocolat Menier Corner and Port Arthur (1st Division would have an attack frontage of 1600 yards; Meerut 800 yards), with the objective Rue du Marais - Lorgies - Ligny le Grand, incorporating La Cliqueterie (a heavily defended German strongpoint). The 2nd Division was moved up into reserve, from the La Bassée canal sector, leaving behind 4th (Guards) Brigade and receiving in exchange the 5th (London) Brigade of the London Division who moved to the canal in their place.
9 May: the Southern pincer
4.06am: sunrise and all very quiet on this front.
5.00am: British bombardment opens with field guns firing shrapnel at the German wire and howitzers firing High Explosive shells onto front line. German troops are seen peering above their parapet even while this shelling was going on.
5.30am: British bombardment intensifies, field guns switch to HE and also fire at breastworks. The lead battalions of the two assaulting Brigades of 1st Division go over the top to take up a position only 80 yards from German front. (2nd Brigade has 1/Northants and 2/Royal Sussex in front and 2/KRRC and 1/5th Royal Sussex in immediate support; 3rd Brigade has 2/Royal Munster Fusiliers and 2/Welsh in front, with 1/4th Royal Welsh Fusiliers in support). Heavy machine-gun fire cuts the attackers down even on their own ladders and parapet steps, but men continue to press forward as ordered.
In the area of the Indian Corps, the lead battalions of the Dehra Dun Brigade of the Meerut Division (2/2nd Ghurkas, 1/4th and 1st Seaforth Highlanders) were so badly hit by enemy fire that no men got beyond their own parapet and the front-line and communications trenches were soon filled with dead and wounded men.
5.40am: British bombardment lifts off front lines and advances 600 yards; infantry assault begins. Despite the early losses and enemy fire the three Brigades attempted to advance across No Man's Land. They were met by intense crossfire from the German machine-guns, which could not be seen in their ground-level and strongly protected emplacements. Whole lines of men were seen to be hit. Few lanes had been cut in the wire and even where men reached it they were forced to bunch, forming good targets for the enemy gunners. The leading battalions suffered very significant losses, particularly among officers and junior leaders. Around 100 men on the Northants and Munsters got into the German front, but all were killed or captured. The advance of the supporting battalions suffered similarly, and by 6.00am the advance had halted, with hundreds of men pinned down in No Man's Land, unable to advance or fall back.
6.15am: A repeat of the initial bombardment is ordered, with the added difficulty of uncertain locations of the most advanced troops.
7.20am: Major-General Haking (CO, 1st Division) reports failure and asks if he should bring in his last Brigade (1st (Guards)). He offered his opinion that it would not be successful.

On the 20th the battalion was in Cane trench ready for the forthcoming attack "

www.ordersofbattle.darkscape.net/site/warpath/divs/34_div...
Battle of Estaires
9 - 11 April
This was the first phase of the battle and involved the German forces attacking the defending Portuguese and British Divisions.[1]
In one of the greatest defeats in the military history of Portugal, the 2nd Portuguese Division, approximately 20,000 men commanded by General Gomes da Costa (later President of Portugal), lost about 300 officers and 7,000 men killed, wounded and prisoners, resisting the attack of four German divisions with 50,000 men of 6th German Army, commanded by General Ferdinand von Quast in the first day of the German offensive. Emergency British troops deployed to help the Portuguese defenses were also captured or forced to retreat.
On the flanks of the Portuguese, the British 55th Division (south of the Portuguese) were able to refuse their northern brigade and despite numerous further attacks formed a firm defensive line which limited the effectiveness of the German attack. On the Portuguese northern flank, the British 40th Division were outflanked and attacked from the rear and as a result allowed the attacking German units to extend the breakthrough of the front line further north.

Well after a couple of months away I'm now finally back on Flicker: Exams, Trips away, Relationships, managing my site as well as assisting a few local bird groups has all kept me rather busy lately.
This rather show stopping image of a Pallas's Warbler was one I took whilst on a trip away to Flamborough with good friends Darragh Hudson, Ellis Lucas & Harry Witt. Whilst at Flamborough we were on our way to see a Great Grey Shrike when I report came in of a much closer and showier Pallas's Warbler. So we changed our route and within 10mins of arrival it finally showed with a few Yellow-browed Warblers, Chiffchaffs & Goldcrest and well what else can I say, I'm pretty sure that this is the best rarity photo I've ever taken!
For those who are interested there's a complete write up on my site here for you to read: elliotsbirdingdiaries.wordpress.com/2016/10/12/east-coast...
THANK YOU ALL for the tremendous support and continous encouragement all through this year.
It's been just over 4 months since I joined flickr..and I must admit that everyday, I've learnt a lot of new things about photography from each one of you!!
Hope you all have a truly MERRY CHRISTMAS and a FAIRYTALE-LIKE 2010 !!
Keep clicking.. Have fun.. Stay safe.. Cheers.
Icy wind blows between the houses, flashes quickly in the night on the streets of the rotten city. A shade, a woman, her eyes are shiver and charm, her look magnetize you, it won't let you go.
The photoshoot shows the creature in an own perspective, who became nowadays very popular in books, films and series. The vampire. The immortal being of the past, the present and the future.
Look at the whole series!
Az időn át - Vámpír krónikák (a jövő)
Jeges szél süvít a házak közt, fürgén cikázik az éjszakában a romlott város utcáin. Egy árny, egy nő, a szeme borzongás és igézet, megbűvöl a tekintete, nem ereszt.
A sorozat saját szemszögünkből mutatja be azt a lényt, aki mára oly divatossá vált könyvekben, filmekben és tévésorozatokban. A vámpírt. A múlt, a jelen és a jövő alakját, aki halhatatlansággal bír.

In mid May, we drove thirteen hours from Georgia up the Shenandoah Valley and across the Pennsylvania Turnpike to Wayne, PA, arriving at the gates of this great American Garden just before 6:00 PM to take advantage of the 8:00 Friday closing time. I've now put up a set of shots taken quickly over the two hours just before the garden closed that afternoon.
If you have time, you can click on the set and run the SLIDESHOW in FullScreen Mode to follow us around the garden: www.flickr.com/photos/ugardener/sets/72157629915442950/wi...
Here is an EXTENSIVE Plant List that shows the kind of horticultural craftsmanship and attention to detail that makes this garden and the staff who run it so special:
www.chanticleergarden.org/pdffiles/Chanticleer.pdf
..
Here is a link to the garden's beautiful website, and a quote from it about its history:
"The Chanticleer estate dates from the early 20th-century, when land along the Main Line of the Pennsylvania Railroad was developed for summer homes to escape the heat of Philadelphia. Adolph Rosengarten, Sr., and his wife Christine chose the Wayne-St. Davids area to build their country retreat. The family's pharmaceutical firm would become part of Merck & Company in the 1920s.
The Rosengartens hired architect and former classmate Charles L. Borie to design the house, which was completed in 1913. Landscape architect Thomas Sears designed the terraces as extensions of the house. A 1924 addition converted the summer home into a year-round residence and the family moved here permanently.
Mr. Rosengarten's humor is evident in naming his home after the estate "Chanticlere" in Thackeray's 1855 novel The Newcomes. The fictional Chanticlere was "mortgaged up to the very castle windows" but "still the show of the county." Playing on the word, which is synonymous with "rooster," the Rosengartens used rooster motifs throughout the estate.
Adolph and Christine gave their two children homes as wedding presents. They purchased a neighboring property for son Adolph, Jr. and his bride Janet Newlin in 1933. It is now the site of the Ruin. Daughter Emily's house, located at today's visitor entrance, was built for her in 1935. It is presently used for offices and classrooms.
Adolph, Jr., bought his sister's portion of the estate following her death in the 1980s. He didn't move into the main house, but used it for entertaining and kept it as it was when the family lived there. The house is open for tours by reservation. Adolph, Jr., left the entire property for the enjoyment and education of the public following his death in 1990. A seven-member Board of Directors, five of whom are Rosengarten relatives, oversees The Chanticleer Foundation. The garden opened to the public in 1993. There are 17 full-time staff, of whom two manage facilities and 12 are gardeners and groundskeepers."

I'm quite tired. The week has been tough. At Wednesday, I was in school about from 8 am till 6 pm. Then I quickly ate something and went to job and leaved there at 9 pm. When I was coming back, the banks of the Aura river just looked amazing as the trees were completely white. The whiteness is derives from the severe frost which suddenly warmed up. That doesn't happen often. I just had to pick up my camera gear (rucksack and tripod) from home. Then I packed all the gear in my back and cycled back to the river. I took some photos (eg. this photo), called to Anssi and then we took a short photowalk. It was midnight when I got back home. Then I answered and read some e-mails and took a shower. I went to sleep after 1 am. Then next day back to school at 8:30 - that's tough, hopefully this photo is worth everything... :D
By the way, I and Anssi weren't the only ones photographing the wonderful winter scenes. I saw three guys with tripods and cameras merely on the way from home to this spot! That's not in any way usual here close to 10 pm in the middle of the week. (:

Shot from this morning macro shoot @ Pashan Lake (Pune) with Urban Prowler (http://www.flickr.com/photos/anshum_m)and Anand J (http://www.flickr.com/photos/anand-j/)
I could barely fit the full insect with complete focus into the 70mm with raynox.. Bit more space on left could have helped!!
Raynox + Pop-up-flash diffuser rocks and so does the Pashan Lake.. You can go there for birding / sunrise / sunset or now for insects!
Another shot from Sunday morning out with the Ramble with Amble gang. As i had took many shots of the groyne in my earlier post i decided i would head for the eroded outlflow structure posts up towards the pier on Blyth Beach. As i splodged back to dryish sand i nnoticed that it was very close to sunset and began running as its quite a distance across to them and also i could do with shedding the winter flab lol. Anyhoo half way there i was dying and as i turned the sun broke the horizon! Not one to lose an oppurtunity i thought what the hell and planted the tripod if not only to rest on it haha. I took 2 shots here at different exposures with some blending in mind. Back in Photoshop i have opened both exposures then unveiled the darker exposure in the horizon area using a 50& Opacity right on the horizon then faded it back with a 30% opacity either side of the central area. Ive had to drop saturation abit to try and control the sun (must get a Reverse Grad) and messed a touch with curves and an unsharo mask.
What a morning this was! Thanks again to all of the Ramble Posse for being so friendly and helpfull and sorry for uploading yet another Blyth shot as youre all probably sick of them haha.
Location i shot from... The 2 areas i ran between are at the very bottom to very top of this Flash Earth shot VVV :O
Aerial Shot of Blyth Beach and where i stood
The Exhibition is still on if anyone in or around the North East fancies a deeky...

"Che altro ti resta se non l'uomo nudo
che io vedo ogni giorno
quel pazzo padrone,
poeta o predone che vive sull'ultima trave.
Si frega le mani poi ride, o non ride...
saltella leggero
dal trave a una curva
ma oggi l'ho visto tuffarsi nel vuoto
così d'improvviso
però non so dire
se urlasse o ridesse. "

''El Nini siguió avanzando por la calleja solitaria, arrimado a las casas para eludir el lodazal. Restregaba la moneda que portaba en la mano contra los muros de adobe y al llegar a la primera esquina examinó el brillo nacido en el borde con pueril fruición. El barrizal era allí más espeso, pero el niño lo atravesó sin vacilar, sumergiendo sus pies desnudos en el cieno entreverado de estiércol y escíbalos caprinos, en la pestilente agua estancada de los relejes.''
Fragmento de la obra "Las Ratas" de Miguel Delibes.

Don't be confused; it's not the Washington Monument. It's the Bunker/Breeds Hill Monument, commemorating the [misnamed] Battle of Bunker Hill. I was here as part of the Boston Photo Mob walk that I mentioned in the past couple posts.
For the curious, the Bunker Hill Monument is roughly about 40% as tall as the Washington Monument and is indeed located atop Breeds Hill. Solomon Willard was the designer of the monument and according to the Secretary of the Building Committee, "worked like a dog" to get the construction completed.
The coloration of the photograph is largely due to the use of filters and not so much due to post processing, although the post did increase the impact of what was already there.
Nikon D40

This is a colour print I did in the 1970s when Desi was about 10. She loved to dance. The fellow was a distant relation of Kitty's and a pro song and dance actor who was visiting with us in Wimbledon.
I brought the print back recently from Hungary and decided to scan it.
This is for the techie visitors.
I have quite an old HP Scanjet 6300 flatbad scanner. There is no driver for it under OS X but as the iMac is my main system I eventually obtained a copy of VueScan which can drive it. For whatever reason the last few scans (saved as TIF) although looked OK in the scanner preview ended up very rough in PS or LR. Finally I fired up my equally old Windows desktop and scanned the picture using the latest (ie early 2000) proper HP driver and got a much better result. Further oddity - I am running Windows 7 RC on it. So far it looks promising.
Messing about on the pier seeing if i can get vision for and pull off long exposures. All in all a great day despite getting drenched twice in one day in one set of clothes. It will be a miracle if i dont catch cold.
Shot with Singh Ray Vari-ND at max with color combo CPL also by Singh Ray, now thats 10 stops of light stopping power for those that are counting. I also used a 2 stop lee hard grad for the sky matched at the horizon. Some 13 seconds in camera on a tripod of course and then at home straight RAW conversion and then toned in Silvereffex. All in all round 3mins of editing- nothing quite beats filters for not spending an entire night behind a computer screen :)
Forgot to mention this was shot with a canon 5d and 17-40
BTW this is Llandudno Pier, North Wales. To the right in the distance is the off shore wind farm.
I really should dedicate this shot to my wonderful girlfriend who tolerates my photographic hobby/obsession and who patiently waited on the pier while i took 10 mins to set this shot up and then another 10 waiting for enough people to walk through the shot. Thank you hunny xx
A b&w view of just a portion of Iguazu Falls from the Argentina side.
If you ever have the opportunity to visit this fascinating location, be sure you do both the Brazilian and Argentine sides. They are both very different and fascinating experiences.
Have a great weekend and thanks for looking!

This photo was taken at sunset in Lincoln City, Oregon, USA. This is a beautiful beach on the Central Oregon Coast.
About this photo: We stayed in a beach apartment for 1 week in Lincoln City. When we arrived around dinner time at this place it was cloudy. After dinner we decided to go for a walk on the beach and at the end of the evening we were treated to a beautiful sunset as it started to clear up. What a gorgeous evening that was!
As the sun was setting I wondered down to the beach to enjoy the sunset and take some photos. At that point I remembered my "panorama" button on my camera and figured it was time try it out again as I haven't used it that much yet. I liked the results! I hope you do too! :)

Some information on Lincoln City and the beach: Lincoln City is nestled between seven miles of sandy beaches and a 680 acre scenic lake on the central Oregon Coast. And while it's a charming resort town, it's also a paradise of beauty, history and adventure.
The mighty Pacific Ocean greets the beach along seven gorgeous miles in Lincoln City. The beauty and activities along the seashore change with the seasons, adding spice and variety. There are excellent locations for wave, whale, sunset and storm watching, and the beach is a treasure trove for collecting driftwood, agates, shells and floats. Large rocks emerging from the sea create perfect pockets for tide pooling during low tides, and beach hiking, surfing, windsurfing and fishing challenge adventure seekers. Fifteen public beach accesses welcome those who wish to indulge!
The Oregon Coast is the coast of the U.S. state of Oregon along the Pacific Ocean, constituting the western border of the state. Stretching 583km/362mi from the city of Astoria to the California border, the Oregon Coast is unique in that the entire coast is public land. Oregon law prohibits private ownership of coastline property.
The Oregon Coast is often divided into three regions
•The North Coast—from the Washington border at Astoria to Lincoln City.
•The Central Coast—from Lincoln City to Reedsport.
•The South Coast—from Reedsport to the California border, just south of Brookings.
There are no large cities on the coast, mainly due to the lack of deep harbors with access to the inland agricultural areas. The largest metropolitan area consists of the bordering cities of Coos Bay and North Bend on the South Coast. This area has a population of approximately 25,000 people. There is only one continuous highway along the coastline, the U.S. Route 101. The relative isolation of the coast from nearby large population centers has given the coast a reputation for being somewhat rustic, being a mixture of old logging towns, fishing villages, seasonal resorts, and artists' colonies. Tourism, fishing and logging are the major industries on the coast. The coastal region's popularity, combined with the fact that there are only a few two-lane roads from the more populated areas in the Willamette Valley contributes to traffic to the north and central coasts being named the worst tourist traffic in the United States.

A few weeks ago I posted The Doors of Perception. I thought it was a good result overall but I wasn't entirely satisfied with it.
This is a shot from another angle and a bit darker. I wanted to emphasize the rays of light breaking through the pilings to better visualize the famous quote from Aldous Huxley:
''If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow chinks of his cavern."

Lumbier, Navarra (Spain).
ENGLISH
The Foz de Lumbier is carved out of the limestone rock by the river Irati at the western end of the Leyre range of mountains, at the foot of the Navarrese Pyrenees. It is one of the most spectacular gorges in Navarre, a landscape created over millions of years by the waters of the river Irati, which have left their mark on this sanctuary of nature day by day. The gorge was declared a Nature Reserve in 1987.
Lumbier is a narrow and small gorge, just 1,300 metres long, but of spectacular beauty. Its vertical walls reach a maximum height of 150 metres and large birds of prey live in the cracks and ledges, with species such as griffon vultures whose flights will accompany you in your visit to the gorge. It is also a refuge for foxes, boar, badgers and owls, and is strewn with gall and kermes oaks and bushes such as thyme, lavender and gorse that hang from the cracks, vegetation that is transformed into woods of poplars, willows and ash trees at the entry and exit of the gorge.
In contrast to many other canyons, you can walk through Lumbier along an easy track that runs along the bottom of the cliffs for 2.6 kilometres. The route was created for the old Irati train (the first electric train in Spain) that linked Pamplona with Sangüesa between 1911 and 1955.
The signposted path runs along the river and crosses the rock through two tunnels (206 and 160 metres long) that do not have artificial light. Towards the end of the path the route goes around the rock and reaches the remains of the Puente del Diablo (Devil's Bridge), which was built in the 16th century with a raised arch 15 metres above the river. It was destroyed by the French in 1812 during the War of Independence, and owes its name to a legend that says that its builder asked the devil for help to finish it.

CASTELLANO
La foz de Lumbier es un desfiladero excavado por el río Irati sobre la roca caliza en el extremo occidental de la sierra de Leire, al pie del Pirineo navarro. Es una de las gargantas más espectaculares de Navarra, un paisaje labrado a lo largo de millones de años por la acción del río Irati que, día a día, sigue marcando su huella en este santuario de la naturaleza, reserva natural desde 1987.
La de Lumbier es una hoz estrecha y pequeña, de 1.300 metros de longitud, y de una belleza espectacular. Sus paredes verticales alcanzan en su cota máxima 150 metros de altura, y en sus grietas, roturas y repisas viven grandes rapaces, entre los que abundan los buitres leonados, cuyo vuelo le acompañará en su visita al desfiladero. La foz, que también sirve de refugio para zorros, jabalíes, tejones y alimoches, está poblada de quejigos y coscojas, además de arbustos como tomillo, espliego y ollaga que se cuelan por las grietas, vegetación que se transforma en bosques de álamos, sauces y fresnos a la entrada y salida de la foz.
A diferencia de otras gargantas, la de Lumbier puede ser recorrida a través de un sencillo camino que discurre al pie de los acantilados, a lo largo de 2,6 kilómetros. El trazado fue realizado para el tren Irati, el primer tren eléctrico de España, que comunicó Pamplona con Sangüesa entre 1911 y 1955.
El camino está señalizado, discurre junto al río y atraviesa la roca a través de dos túneles, de 206 y 160 metros de longitud, que no poseen luz artificial. En la parte final del sendero, el camino bordea la roca y llega hasta los restos del Puente del Diablo, construido en el siglo XVI, con un arco elevado 15 metros sobre el río. Destruido por los franceses en 1812, durante la Guerra de la Independencia, debe su nombre a una leyenda según la cual su constructor pidió ayuda al diablo para levantar el puente.

All are welcome to share my photo (non-commercial, not-for-profit), if you credit each use with "Greg Bishop, photographer", or something similar.
This amazing Tugboat is a veteran of the Pearl Harbor attack, 7 December 1941. She served valiantly during the attack, operating without stopping, from that Sunday morning until Wednesday, fighting fires, rescuing sailors, saving the USS Oglala by pushing her away from the doomed Arizona, and helping the battleship Nevada to ground herself to avoid sinking in the Pearl Harbor entrance channel. She fought the fires on the burning Battleships USS Arizona www.navsource.org/archives/01/013940b.jpg and USS Nevada upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/45/USS_Nevada_2n....

HOGA and her crew received a special citation from Admiral Chester Nimitz for her heroic work in those dark days. In the following link she is shown with the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown (CV-5) at Pearl Harbor after the Battle of Coral Sea, 27 May 1942. After repairs, Yorktown departed on 30 May to take part in the Battle of Midway. The tug Hoga (YT-146) is in the center foreground. The mainmast of the sunken USS Arizona (BB-39) is visible in the distance, just right of Yorktown's stern www.history.navy.mil/photos/images/g20000/g21931.jpg .
She later went on to serve the City of Oakland as a fireboat from 1948 to 1994! She is currently awaiting movement to Little Rock Arkansas to serve her days out as a museum ship, befitting her 60 years of continuous service. The ship was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1989.
NDRF -- The National Defense Reserve Fleet In Suisun Bay, California. More commonly known as The Mothball Fleet, of which there are many others throughout the country (and the world). Managed by the Dept. of Transportation.
Many old ships -- even WWII-era "Liberty Ship" cargo ships -- simply lull Now gone, scrapped in the brackish water awaiting scrapping..... or maybe someone will intervene and restore a after no one intervened to turn another 'has-been' into a revered floating museum, such as the nearby.....

As of April 2014, The Hoga was moved out of the mothball fleet to the former Mare Island Naval Shipyard (Vallejo, California) for hull repairs and painting. The Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum shows her on their website, but I couldn't see her on a Google map. As far as I know she's still at Mare Island. It all comes down to money.
Happy UPDATE Post Decommissioning! On July 28, 2005, the United States Navy officially transferred USS Hoga to the City of North Little Rock. On November 23, 2015, Hoga arrived at the Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum in North Little Rock, Arkansas. aimmuseum.org/uss-hoga/

Železničná trať Belehrad–Bar je ako hlavná železničná tepna bývalej Juhoslávie dodnes známa hlavne medzi fanúšikmi železníc, vzhľadom k jej postaveniu v dosť náročnom horskom teréne. Môžeme povedať, že tá najviac stavbou impozantná časť sa nachádza práve v Čiernej Hore, kde sa po nej okrem niekoľkých nákladných vlakov denne premáva aj niekoľko párov osobných vlakov, jeden celoročný pár nočného rýchlika a jeden sezónny pár denného rýchlika. Jej najnižší bod sa nachádza v prístave Bar len 3 metre nad morom a najvyšší bod činí 1032 m.n.m v blízkosti mesta Kolašin. A práve v týchto najvyššie položených miestach bola zachytená "asea" 461.035 s osobným vlakom P 6103 [Bjelo Polje – Bar] v medzistaničnom úseku Trebaljevo–Kolašin, kedy krátko po vyjdení z jedného z mnoha tunelov prešla takmer priamo na jeden z mnoha mostov, ponad riečku Svinjača (nad spodným okrajom fotky) a za malú chvíľu zastaví v staničke Kolašin. Ďalej ju čaká viacmenej už len klesanie, ktoré do Podgorice (40 m.n.m) činí takmer bez prerušenia 25 ‰.

The Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park (Catalan: Parc Natural de la Zona Volcànica de la Garrotxa) is a natural park area covering a Holocene volcanic field (also known as the Olot volcanic field) in Catalonia, northeastern Spain. The volcanos, of which there are about forty within the park, are no longer active, with the last eruption (Croscat) occurring about 11,000 years ago.[1] However, the region is still seismically active, and a large earthquake in 1428 caused damage to buildings and twenty deaths in Barcelona, 90 kilometres (56 mi) to the south.
The park covers 12,093.02 hectares, and includes territory from eleven municipalities in the comarca of Garrotxa.[2] The built-up areas of Olot, Santa Pau, Sant Joan les Fonts and Castellfollit de la Roca are completely surrounded by the park. Including these urban areas, the population of the park is more than 40,000 people, and the economic development of the zone is one of the objectives of the park management, while trying to avoid the damage caused by quarrying, urban sprawl and illegal waste disposal. Some 980.86 ha of the park, including the best preserved volcanic cones, are fully protected as nature reserves.

Description
Designed by Donald L. Grieb Associates, Architect, the Conservatory is composed of three beehive-shaped glass domes that span 140 feet (43 m) in diameter and are 85 feet (26 m) high. They are properly referred to as the world's first conoidal domes. They cover 45,000 square feet (4,200 m2) of display area and were constructed in stages from 1959 to 1967. Locally, they are commonly called the "three-breasted lady".
Connecting the three domes is a central lobby area, which was extensively redesigned in the summer of 2008. A smaller service dome behind the Conservatory holds replacement plants and an orchid collection. This section is not open to the public.
Show Dome
The Show Dome opened in December 1964. It hosts four seasonal shows and one holiday exhibit held annually in December for visitors to enjoy. Each show has a theme chosen based on cultural (such as Japanese, German and French), literary (Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol"), or historical interest (Colonial Williamsburg and the History of Herb Gardening, for example). In most recent years, the Winter Show has featured an extensive garden railway display put on with the cooperation of many Wisconsin Model Railroad club members. It has become one of the most popular displays during the year and is one of the largest indoor Garden Railroad displays in the Midwest.
Tropical Dome
The Tropical Dome opened in February 1966. The Tropical Dome features nearly 1,000 species of plants, including many economically important fruit bearing plants such as banana, papaya, ackee, guava, avocado, and cacao. One of the cacao trees is over 60 years old and was transplanted from the old Conservatory. It still sets fruit each year. Hardwoods include big-leaf, little-leaf, and African mahoganies, ebony and lignum vitae. A rare curare vine can also be found growing.
The dome is seasonally decorated with a wide variety of blooming plants, including a number of award winning orchids. The center of the Dome is dominated by a large kapok tree. It is one of the tallest trees under glass. At one time, its height was up to 95 feet (29 m) high, but is now kept at a more manageable 60 feet (18 m). In addition to the plants, the Tropical Dome is home to a number of colorful birds.
Arid Dome
The Arid Dome opened in November 1967. It displays a wide variety of plants from the Americas and Africa. The American section contains a large number of plants native to the Sonoran Desert, including shrubs, trees, annuals and bulbs, as well as the familiar cacti. The African section has aloes, crassulas, euphorbias, along with the unusual Welwitschia plant, which has only two continuously growing leaves and may live for over a thousand years.
Another section hosts the succulent flora of Madagascar and includes plants such as Euphorbia, Pachypodium, Adenia, Didierea, Alluaudia, and Operculicarya. Many of them were grown from seed obtained in Madagascar. This area was formally dedicated on September 8, 1984 by Leon Rajaobelina, the Ambassador from Madagascar.
In August 2006, an Encephalartos ferox produced a double red-colored cone. It is only the second time in over 30 years this has happened. The cones are expected to last several months, most likely until spring brings warmer weather.
The Conservatory was closed during the summer of 2008 to facilitate the replacement of 800 cracked glass panels. The lobby was remodeled and a $500,000 donation allowed for a new external and internal lighting system. The Conservatory re-opened to large crowds on October 20, 2008. A series of concerts was held on Thursday nights through November. Several other improvements include a re-configured parking lot, outside landscaping and a new educational center scheduled to open in fall of 2009. Future plans call for a greenhouse complex at the rear of the Conservatory to replace current off site facilities.
Il 10 gennaio 1859 Vittorio Emanuele II, nel discorso di apertura del parlamento piemontese (il cui testo viene concordato da Cavour e Napoleone III), afferma:
« ...Noi non siamo insensibili al grido di dolore che da tante parti d'italia si leva verso di Noi... »
(Vittorio Emanuele II)
Le eco sono immense in tutta la penisola: i lombardi manifestano il loro entusiasmo, mentre i volontari passano il Ticino per unirsi ai piemontesi. Il 23 aprile l'Austria invia un ultimatum al Piemonte intimandone il disarmo entro tre giorni: è l'occasione pazientemente attesa da Cavour per iniziare la guerra.
Scaduto il tempo previsto, gli austriaci invadono il Piemonte con l'intenzione di sconfiggere l'esercito sabaudo prima dell'arrivo dell'alleato francese. I piemontesi ostacolano l'avanzata del maresciallo Ferencz Gyulaj allagando le risaie della Lomellina e del vercellese; i francesi, attraverso il colle del Moncenisio e da Genova raggiungono rapidamente il campo di battaglia. Il 20 maggio gli austriaci sono battuti a Montebello.
Mentre Gyulaj attende con il grosso delle truppe intorno a Piacenza, Napoleone III lo trae in inganno oltrepassando il Po a Casale Monferrato e spostando velocemente l'armata francese dalla zona di Alessandria a quella di Novara per puntare verso Milano. Solo dopo le sconfitte subite il 30 e il 31 maggio a Vinzaglio e a Palestro, il comando austroungarico si accorge del tranello e ordina che il grosso dell'esercito sia spostato, attraverso Vigevano e Abbiategrasso, dalla Lomellina a Magenta. Gli austriaci retrocedono stabilendo così una linea difensiva tra il Naviglio Grande ed il Ticino; facendo saltare il grande ponte napoleonico di Boffalora sopra Ticino, tra Magenta e Trecate, che però resiste ed in parte rimane transitabile.
La notte tra il 2 ed il 3 giugno il genio francese, protetto dall'artiglieria, getta un ponte di barche di 180 metri di fronte a Turbigo: inizia così il passaggio del II Corpo d'armata che sostiene i primi scontri a Turbigo e Robecchetto. La mattina del 4 il generale Mac Mahon divide le sue truppe in due colonne dirigendo la Seconda Divisione guidata dal generale Espinasse verso Marcallo con Casone e la Prima Divisione di De La Moutterouge verso Boffalora sopra Ticino. Intanto le truppe austroungariche tardano ad arrivare ed il generale austriaco Clam-Gallas dispone le sue forze a triangolo con i vertici a Magenta, Marcallo e Boffalora.
Bersaglieri alla battaglia di Magenta.Non appena Napoleone III sente tuonare il cannone, dal suo osservatorio nella torre di San Martino di Trecate, convinto che l'attacco di Mac Mahon sia in atto, ordina alle truppe in attesa presso il Ticino di muoversi verso i ponti del Naviglio di Boffalora, Ponte Vecchio e Ponte Nuovo. Gli austriaci fanno saltare i primi due; il ponte della dogana con quello della ferrovia, poco più a valle, rimangono così l'unico passaggio per raggiungere la sponda sinistra del canale. Ma Mac Mahon è fermo in attesa di coordinare i movimenti delle sue colonne e il III° Corpo d'Armata francese tarda a giungere da Novara sul campo di battaglia.
Comincia, intanto, ad arrivare da Abbiategrasso il grosso delle truppe austriache il cui ingresso in linea rende la situazione critica per i francesi a tal punto che a Vienna viene inviato un telegramma che annuncia una schiacciante vittoria. Dopo accaniti combattimenti dall'esito incerto i francesi riescono a passare sul Ponte Nuovo solo quando gli austriaci, minacciati sul fianco destro da Mac Mahon, che ha risposto all'attacco a Boffalora, si ritirano attestandosi a Magenta. Nei combattimenti cade il generale francese Cler.
I remember piano lessons
The hours in freezing rooms
Cruel ears and tiny hands
Destroying timeless tunes
She said there's too much out there
Too much already said
You'd better give up hoping
You're better off in bed
You don't need much to speak of
No class, no wit, no soul
Forget your own agenda
Get ready to be sold
I feel now like Christine Keeler
Sleepwaking in the rain
I didn't mean to lose direction
I didn't want that kind of fame
(Take your hands off my land)
Credit me with some intelligence
(if not just credit me)
I come in value packs of ten
(in five varieties)
And even though I got it all now
My only stupid dream
I see you and me together
And how it should have been
I remember piano lessons
Now everything seems clear
You waiting under streetlights
For dreams to disappear

Agostino "il Magnifico" Chigi (1465-1520), the richest man in Europe, once lived in this sumptuous villa built for him by the architect Baldassare Peruzzi between 1508 and 1511. Some of Rome's grandest feasts and parties, the likes of which were unknown since the days of imperial Rome, were staged here, often for popes, diplomats, artists, philosophers, and even high-priced courtesans.
Even before this outrageous banker came to live here, the site was famous. Once it was the country villa of Julius Caesar, and Cleopatra stayed here in 44 B.C. with their illegitimate child, Caesarion.
Chigi was Raphael's patron and friend, and he called upon this great artist to help decorate part of his villa, along with such towering figures as Francesco Penni, Giulo Romano, Sebastian del Piombo, and "Il Sodoma" (so called because of his sexual practices). Together these artists created a series of paintings that stand as one of the treasures of the Renaissance, especially the Loggia of Cupid and Psyche.
Also stunning is the Galatea from 1511 -- Raphael painted Nereus's sea-maiden riding in a shell drawn by pug-nosed dolphins in a frolicking romp. Paintings depicting scenes from Ovid's Metamorphoses are by Sebastiano del Piombo; frescoes of the constellations on the ceiling are by Baldassare Peruzzi.
Upstairs you can see Peruzzi's masterful Salone delle Prospettive, an early example of trompe l'oeil views of Rome and Il Sodoma's masterpiece Scenes from the Life of Alexander the Great.

Cathedral of Cologne
Cologne, Nordrhein-Westfalen
Germany
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Cologne Cathedral (German: Kölner Dom, officially Hohe Domkirche St. Peter und Maria) is the seat of the Archbishop of Cologne, Cardinal Joachim Meisner, and is under the administration of the archdiocese of Cologne. It is renowned as a monument of Christianity, of German Catholicism in particular, of Gothic architecture, and of the faith and perseverance of the people of the city in which it stands. It is dedicated to Saint Peter and the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The cathedral is a World Heritage Site, one of the best-known architectural monuments in Germany, and Cologne's most famous landmark, described by UNESCO as an "exceptional work of human creative genius". Cologne Cathedral is one of the world's largest churches and the largest Gothic church in Northern Europe. For four years, 1880-84, it was the tallest structure in the world, until the completion of the Washington Monument. It has the second-tallest church spires, only surpassed by the single spire of Ulm Cathedral, completed 10 years later in 1890. Because of its enormous twin spires, it also presents the largest façade of any church in the world.
The choir of Cologne Cathedral, measured between the piers, also holds the distinction of having the largest height to width ratio of any Medieval church, 3.6:1, exceeding even Beauvais Cathedral which has a slightly higher vault.
Construction of the Gothic church began in 1248 and took, with interruptions, until 1880 to complete – a period of over 600 years. It is 144.5 metres long, 86.5 m wide and its two towers are 157 m tall.
Cologne Cathedral, despite having been left incomplete during the medieval period, eventually became unified as "a masterpiece of exceptional intrinsic value" and "a powerful testimony to the strength and persistence of Christian belief in medieval and modern Europe", as was befitting a worship-place of the Holy Roman Emperor and the traditional shrine of the Three Kings.

As we were all standing around waiting for the owl to do something other than just posing on the treetop, a mouse decided to take walk on the snow bank only 5 feet from one of the women photographers. Knowing that this was going to be a possible photo opportunity, we yelled over to her to move away, knowing that it was only matter of seconds and the owl would spot that mouse. The mouse had its own idea, he was going to run out on the road. This would not be the best spot to take a picture, so one of the photographers ran out in the road, grabbed the mouse and threw it out in the snow covered field. It only took a second before the owl saw it, swooped down, picked it up and flew off with it. It all happened so fast that I was only able to snap off a few shots. I’ve posted one of the shots below.
I know this shot is a lot flawed. Its not straight, its colors aren’t balanced (too much warmth; but blame that to the coffee :P), the flower is shriveled :P, so on & so forth…
I’m uploading this picture anyways because I couldn’t resist sharing that I was able to use two suggestions given to me earlier & know what? They worked :D
So here's to Ana: Thank you for the suggestion of a non-black bg. Yes, it does help in adding to the depth of the image. xx =D (Next time I will try more lighter colored bg’s.)
And, here’s to Samyak: I couldn’t DARE to light a cigarette at home :P so, I lit some essence sticks, drank the coffee & dropped the essence sticks in the cup for the smoke :D. Thank you for the idea.
Have a fantastic weekend. :)
(I am sorry that I haven’t been around lately. I have a lot happening at work & at home; and 24 hours just don’t seem to be enough. This “dormancy” of mine will continue through the next week too. Please excuse my absence. I sure will catch up once I’m back.)
Progression of the Total Lunar Eclipse on 21 February 2008. These photos were taken over a period of 2 hours (3:30am to 5:30 am). We weren't fortunate enough to see the full recovery in Africa, since the sun rised before it was done. View Larger Version Here
Photos taken with a Canon 400D, a borrowed 100-400mm lens & two tripods (one for camera and one to support the lens). Photos taken in Shutter Priority, also used mirror lockup function and self timer. All the photos except for the red one was taken at 1/2000s exposure, the red one (fully eclipsed) was taken at 1s exposure.
The planetary shift was quite bothersome (especially if you're half asleep like I was).. I had to adjust the tripod approx. every 3 shots. It was definately all worth it though. The view through the lens was AMAZING - way better than with the naked eye.
La Basílica de Santa María de Guadalupe es considerada como el máximo centro religioso de México (recibe aproximadamente 20 millones de personas al año).Este edificio, el cuarto levantado en honor a Santa María de Guadalupe, fue consagrado el 1 de mayo de 1709.
El arquitecto Pedro de Arrieta colocó en cada una de las puertas un relieve con una de las apariciones a Juan Diego y las imágenes de apóstoles y profetas. Las cuatro torres, la cúpula y el arco poligonal sobre la puerta principal, se colocaron para así poder relacionar este templo, de manera simbólica, con el Templo de Salomón en la ciudad de Jerusalén que seguía estas mismas formas según la escritura. Con ello se pretendía mostrar que la Nueva España era, también, un territorio sacralizado, escogido por la Madre del Señor.
En 1749 el templo recibió la categoría de Colegiata, lo que significa que para dirigirlo y atender a los fieles habría un cabildo o grupo de sacerdotes que trabajarían bajo el mando de un Abad.
La iglesia y el convento de las Madres Capuchinas, rama femenina de los frailes franciscanos, fueron construidos en 1787 por el arquitecto Ignacio Castera.
El templo, como todas las construcciones de su tipo, tiene la puerta de acceso paralela a la calle, es decir, no frente al altar mayor, pues así se facilitaba que las monjas asistieran a misa sin romper con su voto de clausura, aquél en que juraban no salir a la calle una vez que habían consagrado su vida a Cristo.
La decoración de la fachada o portada es bastante sencilla, sobresaliendo el juego de colores entre el tezontle rojo y el gris de la cantera.
El edificio de las Madres Capuchinas fue ocupado como cuartel y hospital después de que las leyes de Reforma, establecidas a mediados del siglo XIX, les prohibieran permanecer en este sitio. Algunos años más tarde, la iglesia volvió al culto, pero como se había inclinado peligrosamente, fue cerrada en los años 70 para su renivelación (primer caso mundial), reabriéndose en 1996.
Maresme. Catalonia.

Maresme's territory occupies a long and narrow area between the Mediterranean Sea and the hills of Serralada Litoral (Catalonia's coastal mountains), and specifically Montnegre's and Corredor's hills in the northern half and Sant Mateu's hills in the southern half. This particular shape has conditioned both the geography and the history of this comarca. Probably the main distinct elements of its geography are the characteristic rieres (torrents). These short, intermittent water streams, which cross the comarca transversally almost every hundred meters, produce powerful and dangerous floods when it rains.

Maresme has been historically very well connected with the rest of the comarca as well as with Barcelona thanks to old Camí Ral (Royal Way) (actual N-II main road) and railroad (The Barcelona–Mataró railroad route, finished in 1848, was the first ever in all the Iberian Peninsula). Communications were enhanced in recent years with the construction of the C-32's Barcelona–Mataró section (1969), which was the first autopista (highway) ever in Spain, and its subsequent enlargement, the Mataró-Palafolls's section (1995).
