Brookgreen Gardens is a sculpture garden and wildlife preserve just south of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. The 9,200-acre property includes several themed gardens with American figurative sculptures, the Lowcountry Zoo, and trails through several ecosystems on the property. It was opened in 1932, and is built on four former rice plantations, taking its name from the former Brookgreen Plantation.

Originally, what is now Brookgreen Gardens was four rice plantations. The plantations from south to north were The Oaks, Brookgreen, Springfield, and Laurel Hill. The current gardens and surrounding facilities lie completely on the former Brookgreen Plantation, which was owned by Joshua John Ward, the biggest American slaveholder. Only a handful of relics survive on the former plantations. The Alston(Allston) cemetery survives on the grounds of The Oaks plantation. Gov. James Alston and his child are buried in the cemetery. The same grave is a memorial to the governor's wife Theodosia Burr Alston, daughter of Vice President Aaron Burr, who was lost at sea. The rice mill on Laurel Hill is all that remains of the plantation today. During the Civil War, Confederates built an earthen structure on the grounds to block Union ships from coming into the tidal rivers.

It is the creation of Archer and Anna Hyatt Huntington of Connecticut, who purchased four plantations to open the garden to showcase her sculptures. Situated on Waccamaw Neck in Georgetown County, South Carolina between the Waccamaw River and the Atlantic coast, it is the country's first public sculpture garden and has largest collection of figurative sculpture by American artists in an outdoor setting in the world. It is also a nature and historical preserve with a small zoo, and a nature exhibition center.

Archer and Anna Hyatt Huntington first visited the property in 1929. They were captivated by beauty of it, so they purchased nearly 10,000 acres (40 km²) of forest, swamp, rice fields and beachfront. They intended to establish a winter home on the Atlantic, but Anna saw the potential of the property and they quickly began to develop her vision. Archer, stepson of philanthropist Collis Huntington, and Anna have donated property and contributed much to US arts and culture in a number of states. Her sculpture of Joan of Arc is a feature of New York City's Riverside Park.

The Atlantic Coast side was later leased to South Carolina to form Huntington Beach State Park.

Brookgreen Gardens was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The sculpture garden portion, 551 acres (2.23 km2), of Brookgreen Gardens was included in the designation of Atalaya and Brookgreen Gardens as a National Historic Landmark in 1984. Atalaya Castle is just across U.S. 17 which cut through the former combined Huntington property.

About 1444 works of American figurative sculpture are displayed at the Archer and Anna Hyatt Huntington Sculpture Garden. Many of the works are creations of sculptress Anna, but other artists are also featured. There are boat tours to Sandy Island and a self-guided tour nature trail to show off the 2000 identified species of life, including majestic longleaf pines, Spanish moss draped live oaks, and vistas of the river and nearby marshland.

Labor Legacy Landmark - Hart Plaza, Detroit by Brian Callahan

This is a vertorama made of 2 sets of images taken with a wide angle lens. Much distortion correction was required. I was trying to get a less distorted view that still showed the entire arc and the buildings behind. It ended up in square format.

I love the "Labor Legacy Landmark". In my humble(?) opinion, it is the finest piece of public art in Michigan.

The Labor Legacy Landmark

With its shining arch rising 63 feet above the ground, the Labor Legacy Landmark, "Transcending," draws attention to itself as one of the newest additions to the Detroit skyline. The piece, commissioned by the Michigan Labor Legacy Project and funded solely through donations from union members without the aid of public or corporate money, is designed to celebrate the history and contributions of labor. The only such monument in the United States, the Labor Legacy Landmark is the work of local sculptors David Barr and Sergio De Giusti.

Barr, a teacher of sculpture and an internationally acclaimed artist, created the "Four Corners Project," in which he placed four carved marble tetrahedrons at equidistant sites around the globe, in effect creating the largest sculpture ever made. The Italian-born De Giusti is best known for his representative relief works, on display at public institutions throughout the state and around the world. One of De Giusti's works,a nine-foot bronze freestanding relief, is prominently displayed at the main plaza of the Blue Cross Blue Shield Building.

Barr, whose work is primarily abstract and symbolic, sought out the collaboration with De Giusti in order to add a more intimate dimension to the project. Both men envisioned something other than the funereal, European tradition of famous leaders commemorated by solemn statues. Instead, they set out to create a space - an environment where viewers can enjoy art as they come to understand and appreciate the struggles of labor.

From afar, (the piece can be seen from Canada) the work's great stainless steel arch is its most visible aspect. The notched, rounded arch resembles the ubiquitous symbol of labor - the gear and serves as a testament to labor's spirit of exuberance and defiance.

"Transcending's" circular form also stands in contrast to the city's grid-like design as a symbol of inclusion. The bottom of the gear appears to merge into the earth. Barr says, "The world drives industry and labor, and industry and labor drive the world."

The arch rests on a circular, raised dais, and is partially encircled by seven granite boulders all split symmetrically in two. According to De Giusti "Stones have a great presence and have always been used to commemorate events. They are markers of a people and a generation." Brought from Vermont, the stones suggest a strong linkage to the past and their permanence creates a link towards our future.

The boulders' polished surfaces are adorned with De Giusti's bronze reliefs which depict the sacrifices and achievements of labor. His method of presenting objects pushing through and receding into the flat surface of the relief, suggests the embedding of fossils in stone. In direct sunlight, the bronze shines like a geode from within the split rock.

The piece also includes a twisting marble path. A tile at the beginning of the path is engraved with the words, "Labor's achievements are America's strength," and subsequent tiles enumerate those achievements - "Free public education," "Human rights," "Equality for women." Other tiles feature historical labor-related quotes such as "Without struggle there is no progress" (attributed to Frederick Douglas), and Martin Luther King's words, "The arc of history bends toward justice."

De Giusti's reliefs line the path at it spirals inward. At the spiral's center are two boulders - one displaying chains and the other displaying hands - directly below the apex of Barr's arch. A look straight upwards reveals that the arch is divided by a narrow gap at the top. This separation symbolizes how far labor has come and how far it still has to go. At night the arch is made whole by lights projecting from the two disconnected ends.

When the piece was still in the proposal stage, then-Mayor Dennis Archer told the Detroit Free Press, "What the labor movement is doing is reminding everybody who builds buildings that public art also has a place in the betterment of a city." In "Transcending" Barr and De Giusti have created not only an important piece of art but also a significant historical and educational setting designed to connect viewers to the past and inspire them to affect their future. - Nick Sousanis

I muri dipinti di Mugnano by Francesco

3 36

View On Black

Nei pressi di Perugia e poco distante da Magione, accanto al Lago Trasimeno, si trova Mugnano, piccolo ma pittoresco centro circondato dalla campagna umbra.

L'abitato trae origine da insediamenti del II secolo a.C. cui fece seguito la costruzione, tra il IX e X secolo, di una fiorente abbazia benedettina i cui monaci furono impegnati nella bonifica dei territori circostanti che di lì a poco divennero tra i più fertili della regione.

A protezione dei beni e della popolazione locale nel XIV secolo fu costruito il castello con le sue mura perimetrali e il maestoso maschio cui si sovrappose, nel XVIII secolo, la torre campanaria. Nel Settecento all'interno dell'antico castrum si insediò la confraternita del Santissimo Sacramento.

All'interno del castello da non perdere la visita alla piazzetta della “pompa” con un profondo pozzo nel quale, le donne, fin dall'inizio del Novecento, attingevano acqua con una pompa azionata a mano.

MUGNANO IL PAESE DEI MURI DIPINTI

Nel borgo, in un'atmosfera quasi surreale, si snoda il percorso alla scoperta dei “muri dipinti” realizzati, su idea del pittore Benito Biselli, da artisti italiani e stranieri che rappresentano un'esposizione permanente di grande interesse.

L'originalità delle pitture, i temi trattati, gli stili e le tecniche usate danno voce ai diversi linguaggi dell'arte sconfinando dal figurativo all'informale e regalando alle vecchie mura forme e colori.

Mugnano cominciò ad essere interesse della critica negli anni settanta del Novecento, quando nel borgo furono organizzate quattro mostre di alto livello in cui esponevano temporaneamente importanti artisti. Nel corso degli anni l'idea cambiò trasformando l'evento da temporaneo a permanente. Nel 1983 fu organizzata per la prima volta “In...contriamoci a Mugnano” una grande festa paesana, con cadenza annuale, tra la fine di giugno e i primi di luglio, che oltre a proporre sapienti piatti di eno-gastronomia locale, arricchiva l'antico nucleo architettonico, i piccoli vicoli e le piazzette con opere d'arte moderna permanenti. Quell'anno furono chiamati i primi otto pittori locali che realizzarono altrettanti “muri dipinti” suscitando gran fervore di critica. L'anno successivo la manifestazione fu aperta anche agli artisti stranieri e nel 2008 è arrivata alla XXV edizione. Ad oggi sono stati realizzati trentotto dipinti murali.

Nei giorni precedenti la festa un gran fervore anima il paese: si montano i palchi davanti agli intonaci e gli artisti cominciano la loro opera circondati da una folla di curiosi e addetti ai lavori.

I muri del paese cantano una fioritura improvvisa di opere, una ritmica stesura di sigilli pittorici dove ogni artista ha deposto il succo della sua creatività (Mimmo Coletti, 1990).

L'itinerario, con opere restaurate e inaugurate nel 2008, grazie anche al sostegno della Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Perugia, è completamente illuminato con luci a risparmio energetico, e visitabile anche nelle ore notturne.

La diatomea Gyrosigma tuerce sus dos extremos afilados y transformándose en hélice parece que quiso empezar a girar tal y como cuenta su nombre ς -sigma-. Todas las especies de Gyrosigma tienen esta característica y en su doble estuche de cristal, los frústulos, llevan labrados unos surcos finos y paralelos que van de punta a punta, además de otros más delicados y más juntos que cortan a éstos perpendicularmente y que se ven con dificultad.

Gyrosigma attenuatum exhibe su gran tamaño y estos finos surcos que en ella se ven bien esculpidos. Se diferencia así de su hermana más parecida, algo pequeña que ella, Gyrosigma acuminatum, en la que apenas se distingue ninguna ornamentación en los ejemplares vivos por quedar enmascarados por el verde y dorado color de los cloroplastos que le dan la vida desde su interior.

Gyrosigma attenuatum y Gyrosigma acuminatum son dos hermanas relativamente comunes, aunque no muy frecuentes. Viven sobre las piedras de los arroyos, cerca de la orilla para recibir la luz del sol. A diferencia de otras diatomeas no son nadadoras, se deslizan en sinuosos movimientos sobre la superficie del fondo. La más pequeña, parece ser más frecuente que ésta y ambas suelen tener dificultades para vivir en aguas contaminadas.

Gyrosigma attenuatum es otra de esas pequeñas joyas del agua, con cascarón de cuarzo que son las diatomeas. La imagen de hoy ha sido tomada en unas muestras procedentes del Pozo de San Antonio, en la localidad riojana de Préjano. La fotografía se ha realizado a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia.

a tunnel between two vague clarities by Super G

You really need to View On Black

This marks the 52nd shot of my 52 weeks of self portraits. It was the toughest one to do (although there were some about 3/4 the way through that seemed impossible to do as well). I have to say I'm sick of seeing myself and sick of doing self portraits. I honestly don't know how all the 365 'ers manage to do it. 52 is nothing in comparison. Still, I'm going to take a break from selfies for a while. [insert applause track here] I'm not sure for how long. Just long enough to be motivated. This may occur sooner than later since the pressure to take a weekly shot is off. I say pressure because after you've taken about 15 weekly portraits, you start to run out of original ideas. Not that original ideas won't surface, it's just that they take time to develop. I noticed that even after I had taken this photo, the creativity started seeping back in. Anyway, I chose this tunnel for the final shot. I'd had it in mind for over a month because I felt it symbolized both beginning and end in that you can see the light, yet I also have the choice to turn around and go the opposite way, not towards the end, but to the entry. There's light there too. I think there are certain times when you want to see the light at the end but often, the journey needs to continue. So you either wander around in the tunnel or proceed back to the entry. Me? I'm headed back to the entry. It also seemed fitting since this is New Year's Eve -- another end and beginning. With that, I wish everyone a very happy and safe New Year. Cheers!

[side note: the tunnel was quite busy with people passing by. I waited for quite a bit before I setup my equipment. Once others saw the tripod and camera bag, and that this might be a cool place to photograph, it was like a feeding frenzy -- people started snapping photos all over the tunnel (not of me, but of the tunnel). One guy even set his tripod up about 10 feet behind me. I had to check to make sure there wasn't one of those 'Kodak Picture Spot' signs nearby.]

Another "in house" photo . Maybe abstract , maybe it's suited for another texture , i don't know . What i have learned . Shoot RAW at minimum ISO ( 200 in my case ) , straighten , crop and tone the image then convert it in jpeg . Then edit it with GIMP . You still get noisy images because of the 8 bit j-peg processing . Damn , in this photo's case that's good .

Come on my dear developers with the new Gimp and 16 bit image processing . You have the power to free us from PS . Pretty please :) .

Tea 4 Three by Ex-InTransit

When in China, learn how to prepare & drink tea...

It is time for some hot tea, so when in Shingi set off for the city's wholesale markets and find more than tea: immense knowledge and generosity. There are rows and rows of crammed stalls in the giant, drafty: "Du Ba Tong" - "Tianshan Tea City" in western Shanghai!

Very much off the main trek of any visitor, worth a umpteen cups of tea that you will be able to sample. 3 floors of maybe 300+ tea wholesalers.

Pu'er is special tea, actually from a different type of tea plant, and is superb. Aged pu'er teas are sought after and are extremely pricey, fetching more than 50 rmb per gram. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pu-erh_tea

I'm back! by Ali S

**EXPLORED**

That's right, folks. I'm back. Did you miss me while I was sans internet on my camping trip? I feel a little out of sorts right now. I'm going to need to spend some time catching up on your streams. It feels good to be back home with my face paint, though. :) Thought I'd finish August off with one of these shots since I had stick to pretty simple on the camping trip.

I am still so freaking exhausted today. I slept for about eleven hours and I still feel like I'm dragging myself around in a daze. Oh, and to everybody who asked I'm feeling MUCH better as far as my stomach issues from last week and also the mouth/lymph node agony. Thank god. That was some serious pain and misery. I'm glad it started clearing up and improving on the first day of the trip or I would have had a horrible time.

I still have more pictures from the trip to upload, but I figure I'll try to do that slowly, here and there, rather than just bombarding you all. :)

Cathedral Pews by Farrukh

View large Explore 452

The view (created by stitching 7 wide portrait shots together) towards the central nave from the choir seats and pews at Barcelona Cathedral, Catalonia, Spain.

In the 4th century a Roman basilica was built on this site. It was destroyed by the Moors, Al-Mansur in 925 AD. The remains of this basilica can be seen in the City History Museum. Around 1046, a new cathedral was commenced at the initiative of Bishop Guislabert.

Construction began for the current day Cathedral in 1298, during the bishopric of Bernat Pelegrí and the reign of King Jaume II, known as "the Just". The work on the present-day façade of the Cathedral remained unfinished until the end of the last century, being completed by the architects Josep Oriol Mestres and August Font i Carreras, taking inspiration from a drawing from the 15th century by Mestre Carlí.

The Celtic St Cynidr founded the Christian Community in Cantref in the Fourth Century. The Normans later re-dedicated the church to St Mary.

Stand on top of Pen-y-Fan (the highest peak in South Wales), and you are also at the highest point in the Parish of Cantref.
Look to the North and you will see the scattered hill farms that make up this ancient community.

On a good day, you might just pick out the Cantref Parish Church.

St Mary's church lies in the small village of Cantref some 3km to the south-east of Brecon. The church is a 19thC structure but the tower is earlier, thought to be around 1600 in date. It contains little of pre-Victorian origin, the only medieval furnishing being a font of perhaps 12thC date. It is set in a rectilinear churchyard containing a fairly standard collection of memorials.

Tower claimed to be very early 17thC: architecturally it is undiagnostic but is certainly earlier than the nave. The latter together with the chancel and porch were built in 1829 and renovated in 1867, the only trace of the earlier church being a projecting foundation course at the east end.

Parts of the following description are quoted from the 1979 publication The Buildings of Wales: Powys by Richard Haslam

History

Nothing is known of the origin and early history of the church.

Cantref Church is in the Diocese of Swansea and Brecon, in the community of Llanfrynach in the county of Powys. It is located at Ordnance Survey national grid reference SO0564925460.

The church is recorded in the CPAT Historic Environment Record as number 16734 and this number should be quoted in all correspondence.

The Episcopal Register of St Davids refers to the church at Cantref in 1402, but there are no references in the Taxatios of the 13thC. The Valor Ecclesiasticus of 1535 valued 'Cantreff' at œ9 9s 7d.

The church was rebuilt in 1829, and altered in 1867 by C. Buckeridge.Architecture

Cantref church consists of a west tower, a nave and chancel in one, and a north porch near the north-west angle of the nave. The church is aligned on an east-north-east/west-south-west axis, but for descriptive purposes 'ecclesiastical east' is adopted here.

Fabrics: 'A' consists of regularly cut blocks and slabs of red and grey sandstone, small to medium in size, irregularly coursed. 'B' is a variation on 'A', but is mainly tabular sandstone, predominantly maroon-red in colour.

Roofs: sandstone tiles with ceramic ridge tiles. Tower has modern slates.

Drainage: no evidence of drains running beside church walls.

Exterior

Porch. General. Fabric 'A'. Set on chamfered plinth.

North wall: two-centred arch, stopped chamfers, hoodmoulding, all in sandstone.

East and west walls: plain.

Nave and chancel. General. Treated as one unit externally. All in Fabric 'A'; chamfered plinth at c.0.3m (cf porch), but because of natural ground slope it is stepped down at the nave/chancel interface; ashlar quoins.

North wall: two single-light windows and two double-light windows all in yellow sandstone, and consisting of trefoiled lancets. One stepped buttress marking the nave/chancel divide; a second small buttress marks the north-west corner of the nave where it meets the tower.

East wall: the fabric contains some irregularities which might denote re-used masonry, and at the base of the wall below the chamfered plinth is a flat plinth projecting 0.2m with a maximum height of 0.3m; it is on the same alignment and is likely to be a relic of the earlier church. One three-light window, again trefoiled lancets and a hoodmoulding, with a relieving arch over.

South wall: similar to north wall but an extra two-light window at the west end opposite the porch. Also at the west end the wall face of the nave runs on for a short distance in front of the tower wall face. This is a Victorian feature matching the buttress on the north side, but it does appear to encapsulate an earlier buttress at a lower level.

Tower. General. Fabric 'B', crudely pointed in a dull grey mortar so that it appears more like a coat of plaster across the wall faces. Plinth at base at a height of c.0.5m topped by an angular string-course. Uppermost courses of tower may have been rebuilt. Pyramidal roof. Thought to date from c.1600.

North wall: low, shallow buttress at north-east corner as mentioned above (under nave). Rectangular slit window at ground floor level above plinth, chamfered and with a projecting hood over the top. A second similar slit window is set at a higher level (perhaps c.4-5m), and above this a broader louvred window of two lights for the belfry stage, lacking a projecting hood, and the jambs showing considerable difference in weathering.

East wall: nave roof rises to just below belfry level; two-light louvred window for belfry with replacement mullion.

South wall: windows as north wall, except for belfry which has a single light, the lintel terminating in stop-like blocks.

West wall: lower windows as north wall; belfry window also similar but has a flat, projecting stone hood; one jamb replaced.

Interior

Porch. General. Tiled floor. Simple roof with collars.

East and west walls:- plain.

South wall: two-centred arch, stopped chamfers, sandstone dressings. 19thC.

Nave and chancel. General. Tiled floors, largely carpet covered; wooden boards beneath seating. Walls plastered and whitewashed. Roof of five bays with arch-braced trusses springing from corbels and having cusped scissor struts above. Chancel arch consists of cast iron pillars against the outer walls with floriate capitals supporting a main truss. 19thC wall brasses in chancel.

South wall: slab in a window embrasure records the rebuilding of 1829.

West wall: broad but low two-centred arched doorway with heavy sandstone jambs and dressings gives access to the tower.

Tower. General. Flagged floor with at least five grave slabs re-used. South and north wall faces inset to take joists at first floor level. Walls whitewashed. Deeply splayed windows.

Churchyard

The churchyard is pentagonal in shape, the church lying near to its centre. A short distance to the south-east is Afon Cynrig and the churchyard is set on the edge of its valley. It is well maintained and still used for burial.

Boundary: On the north side above the road the slight internal embankment is fronted by a revetment wall and there is an external drop of perhaps 1.5m. To the north-west the wall continues but the external drop is no more than 0.5m, and on the south-west and south-east the wall is in a poor state of repair and is reinforced by a wire fence; again the drop is little more than 0.5m. On this basis Cantref cannot be called a raised churchyard, the drop on the north probably resulting from the erosion of the adjacent roadway.

Monuments: these are well spread on the north side, with late 18thC graves on both sides of the path to the porch (Griffiths of RCAHMW counted 12 in all). There is little obvious burial on the south, west and east sides of the church.

Furniture: none.

Earthworks: a gently scarped platform is visible around the east end of the church.

Ancillary features: metal gates give entry from the north with a tarmac path to the porch. There are also small wooden gates on the north-west and north-east sides.

Vegetation: an avenue of yews lead to the church from the main gate and several others are dotted around, one on the previously mentioned scarp to the east of the church.

These photos of the Starlings were taken almost exactly a year ago from my kitchen window. They are frequenting my backyard and the feeders in large groups again this year.

December is very busy for me so I reluctantly put my camera away to avoid temptation. Once I have a camera in my hand, I am very easily distracted and the time just flies by. It would be nice to have a few extra hours in a day to fit everything in!

Hope that everyone is enjoying December and your preparations for the holiday season are going well. I don't have much time to comment but I do try to at least view your photos. I promise I will take time to make comments soon!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijab

Hijab or ħijāb (حجاب, pronounced: [ħi.ˈdʒæːb]) is the Arabic term for "cover" (noun), based on the root حجب meaning "to veil, to cover (verb), to screen, to shelter".

In some Arabic-speaking countries and Western countries, the common meaning of hijab currently is of "modest dress for women," which most Islamic legal systems define as covering everything except the face and hands in public.[1] Since the 1970s, hijab has emerged as a symbol of Islamic consciousness "and an affirmation of Islamic identity and morality" in opposition to "Western materialism, commercialism, and values.

Super Clusters in NGC 1569 by Judy Schmidt

2 9

A recent thread at Asterisk (this is APOD's discussion forum) got me looking at this beautiful object and the data in Hubble's archive. I noticed there was a very intimate look at the center of this starburst galaxy featuring many bright, young stars comprising super star clusters and decided to process it, making sure not to over brighten the star clusters so that as many details would remain preserved as possible.

In the center is Cluster A, which is actually two clusters which are called A1 and A2. At lower left, the next brightest cluster is called Cluster B. To the upper right is Cluster C, which is somewhat enshrouded in nebula.

Other star clusters are also visible as dimmer, soft yellow blobs which almost look like elliptical galaxies because it's very hard to make out any individual members. I'm not sure what kind of star clusters those are. To me they look a lot like small globular clusters. One may be tempted to conclude that we are seeing the life cycle of globular clusters in some kind of holy grail moment, but something tells me that if that were the case it would have made headlines somewhere. Our knowledge about the formation of globular clusters is murky at best. Does NGC 1569 offer any insights?

Burgos (Spain).

View On Black

ENGLISH

The Burgos Cathedral (Spanish: Catedral de Burgos) is a Gothic-style cathedral in Burgos, Spain. It is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and is famous for its vast size and unique architecture. Its construction began in 1221, following French Gothic parameters.

It had very important modifications in the 15th and 16th centuries (spires of the principal façade, Chapel of the Constable, cimborio of the transept: these elements of advanced Gothic give the cathedral its distinguished profile). The last works of importance (the sacristy or the Chapel of Saint Thecla) occurred during the 18th century, the century in which the Gothic statuary of the doors of the principal façade was also transformed.

At the beginning of the 20th century, some semidetached construction to the cathedral was eliminated, such as the Archepiscopal Palace and the upper floor of the cloister. The style of the cathedral is Gothic, although it has some Renaissance and Baroque works.

The cathedral was declared a "World Heritage Site" by UNESCO on October 31 of 1984. It is the only Spanish cathedral that has this distinction independiently, without being joined to the historic center of a city (as in Salamanca, Santiago de Compostela, Ávila, Córdoba, Toledo or Cuenca) or in union with others buildings, as in Seville.

CASTELLANO

La Catedral de Santa María de Burgos (Castilla y León, España) es un templo católico dedicado a la Virgen María. Su construcción comenzó en 1221, siguiendo patrones góticos franceses. Tuvo importantísimas modificaciones en los siglos XV y XVI: las agujas de la fachada principal, la Capilla del Condestable y el cimborrio del crucero, elementos del gótico avanzado que dotan al templo de su perfil inconfundible. Las últimas obras de importancia (la Sacristía o la Capilla de Santa Tecla) pertenecen ya al siglo XVIII, siglo en el que también se retiraron las portadas góticas de la fachada principal. El estilo de la catedral es el gótico, aunque posee, en su interior, varios elementos renacentistas y barrocos. La construcción y las remodelaciones se realizaron con piedra caliza extraída de las canteras del cercano pueblo burgalés Hontoria de la Cantera.

La catedral burgalesa fue declarada Monumento Nacional el 8 de abril de 1885 y Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco el 31 de octubre de 1984. Es la única catedral española que tiene esta distinción de la Unesco de forma independiente, sin estar unida al centro histórico de una ciudad (como en Salamanca, Santiago de Compostela, Ávila, Córdoba, Toledo o Cuenca) o en compañía de otros edificios, como en Sevilla.

Pits / Boxes by SantiMB.Photos

Montmeló, Barcelona (Spain).

View Large On White

ENGLISH

The pits usually comprise of a pit lane which runs parallel to the start/finish straight and is connected at each end to the main track, and a row of garages (usually one per team) outside which the work is done. Pit stop work is carried out by anywhere from five to twenty mechanics (also called a pit crew), depending on the series, while the driver waits in the vehicle (except where a driver change is involved).

In Formula One, cars make pit stops with the primary purpose of refueling and changing tyres, although during the 2005 season tyre changing during the race was prohibited. Teams sometimes also make adjustments to the front and rear wings and perform minor repairs, most commonly replacing the nose and front wing assembly. Pit strategies generally call for between one and three scheduled stops, depending on the course.

When the car is approximately one lap away from making its stop, the team's pit crew will set up fresh tyres and all needed pit equipment. Because of the overhead fuel and pneumatic rig, the team may have all pit mechanics in position prior to the car's arrival, with the exception of the rear jack man.

A pit stop involves about twenty mechanics, with the aim of completing the stop as quickly as possible. It lasts for six to twelve seconds depending on how much fuel is put into the car. However, if there is a problem, such as a fuel pump failing or the engine stalling, or repairs having to be made, it can take much longer. Cars are fuelled at a rate of more than 12 litres per second. This is accomplished by a fairly complex closed system that pumps air out of the car's fuel tank as the fuel is being pumped in.

---------------------------------

CASTELLANO

Los boxes comprenden el "pit lane", o carril de boxes, que corre paralelo a la recta de salida/meta y conectado a ella por los extremos, y una hilera de garajes (normalmente uno por equipo). El trabajo de la parada en boxes, que se lleva a cabo fuera de los garages, lo realiza un equipo de entre 5 y 20 mecánicos dependiendo del tipo de deporte, mientras el piloto espera en el vehículo (excepto cuando hay cambio de piloto).

En Fórmula 1, los coches hacen una parada en boxes con el prpósito principal de recargar combustible y cambiar ruedas, aunque en la temporada 2005 estuvo prohibido el cambio de ruedas. Los equipos a veces hacen ajustes en los alerones delanteros y traseros, así como reparaciones menores, como cambiar el morro. Las estrategias de boxes suelen comprender entre una y tres paradas, dependiendo de la carrera.

Cuando el coche está a una vuelta de la parada, el equipo de boxes prepara ruedas nuevas y todo el equipamiento necesario. Todos los mecánicos están en sus posiciones cuando llega el coche, excepto el encargado del elevador trasero.

Una parada en boxes implica veinte mecánicos, con el objetivo de completar la parada en el mínimo tiempo posible, que son entre seis y doce segundos dependiendo de la cantidad de combustible repostada. Sin embargo, su ocurre un problema como un fallo en la bomba de combustible o una parada de motor, o hay reparaciones adicionales, el tiempo se puede prolongar. Los coches repostan a razón de 12 litros por segundo. Este rápido repostaje se lleva a cabo por un complejo sistema cerrado que bombea aire fuera del depósito a medida que se llena de combustible.

Le Square Viviani

Le square Viviani d’une superficie de 4265 m² a été crée en 1928 à l’emplacement d’une annexe de l’Hôtel Dieu.

Son nom vient de celui de René Viviani le premier ministre du travail nommé en France en 1906.

Le square héberge le plus vieil arbre de Paris, un Robinier planté en 1602, haut de 15 m.

Son nom est celui du botaniste Robin qui le ramena d’Amérique en 1602.

Square Rene Viviani

Square Rene Viviani is named in honor of René Viviani, the first Minister of Labor of France during 1906-1910. The Square was first open to the public in 1928.

In the south-west corner of Square Rene Viviani is one of the oldest trees in Paris. The date of its planting is disputed. However, the plaque in front of the tree claims that it was planted in 1602. The tree is a "Robinia Pseudoacacia Fabacées". This tree is now supported by concrete columns.

In its prime,the tree was 15 meters tall and 3.5 meters in circumference. Its height was shortened by a shell during World War I.

It is said to have been planted by Parisian botanist Jean Robin (1550-1629) who discoverd this type of tree in Guyana and was the first to propagate it in France. The genus of the tree is named in his honor... Read more ...

Tuerkei, Antalya, Amarok Adventure World, Safari Tour, 122, Selge by Andy von der Wurm

www.darckr.com/username.php?username=9099757@N05 --- Turkey, Antalya, Amarok Adventure World, Safari Tour ---- www.vianobilis.com/amarok-adventure-world-7e5 ---- Amarok Adventure World ---- Selge (griechisch Σέλγη) war eine antike Stadt in der kleinasiatischen Landschaft Pisidien beim heutigen Altınkayaköy (früher Zerk) (Türkei). Er lag 56 km nordwestlich von Side auf ca. 1000 m. ü. M. im oberen Tal des Eurymedon (heute: Köprüçay) am westlichen Ende des Taurusgebirges.Der Überlieferung nach soll Selge nach dem Krieg um Troja durch den Seher Kalchas gegründet und durch Griechen aus Sparta besiedelt worden sein. Auf Münzen ist der Ort seit dem 5. Jahrhundert v. Chr. nachweisbar. Wirtschaftliche Grundlage war der Anbau von Wein und Oliven auf der umgebenden fruchtbaren Hochebene. Politisch bestanden zu Aspendos gute Beziehungen, ansonsten war die Stadt kriegerisch gegen ihre Nachbarn ausgerichtet. Als Alexander der Große durch Kleinasien zog, verbündete sich die Stadt mit ihm, um, allerdings erfolglos, die nahe Stadt Termessos zu belagern. Polybios beschreibt einen Krieg zwischen Selge und Pednelissos 220 v. Chr., in dem Pednellissos Achaios, den Statthalter von Side, zu Hilfe rief. 25 v. Chr. verlor Selge die Selbstständigkeit und wurde in die römische Provinz Galatien eingegliedert. Laut Strabon soll die Stadt zu dieser Zeit etwa 20.000 Einwohner gehabt haben. Seine größte Blüte erreichte Selge zur Zeit des römischen Kaiserreiches. Im Jahr 339 kam es zu einer erfolglosen Belagerung durch die Goten. In byzantinischer Zeit war Selge Bischofssitz. Die Stadt wurde später in seldschukischer Zeit aufgegeben.Es sind die Reste der Stadtmauer, eines Theaters, eines Stadions, der Agora mit Säulenhallen, eines Gymnasions und einer Basilika erhalten. Das Theater wurde im 3. Jahrhundert n. Chr. neu gebaut. Außerhalb der Stadtmauer lagen ein Aquädukt und einige Kammergräber. ---- Selge (in Greek Σελγη) was an important city in Pisidia, on the southern slope of Mount Taurus, modern Antalya Province, Turkey, at the part where the river Eurymedon River (Turkish: Köprüçay)forces its way through the mountains towards the south.

The town was believed to be a Greek colony, for Strabo[1] states that it was founded by Spartans, but adds the somewhat unintelligible remark that previously it had been founded by Calchas. The acropolis of Selge bore the name of Kesbedion.[2] The district in which the town was situated was extremely fertile, producing abundance of oil and wine, but the town itself was difficult of access, being surrounded by precipices and beds of torrents flowing towards the Eurymedon and Cestrus (today Aksu), and requiring bridges to make them passable. In consequence of its excellent laws and political constitution, Selge rose to the rank of the most powerful and populous city of Pisidia, and at one time was able to send an army of 20,000 men into the field. Owing to these circumstances, and the valour of its inhabitants, for which they were regarded as worthy kinsmen of the Spartans, the Selgians were never subject to any foreign power, but remained in the enjoyment of their own freedom and independence. When Alexander the Great passed through Pisidia (333 BC), Selge sent an embassy to him and gained his favour and friendship.[3] At that time they were at war with Termessos.

At the period when Achaeus had made himself master of Western Asia, Selge were at war with Pednelissus, which was besieged by them; and Achaeus, on the invitation of Pednelissus, sent a large force against Selge (218 BC). After a long and vigorous siege, the Selgians, being betrayed and despairing of resisting Achaeus any longer, sent deputies to sue for peace, which was granted to them on the following terms: they agreed to pay immediately 400 talents, to restore the prisoners of Pednelissus, and after a time to pay 300 talents in addition.[4] We now have for a long time no particulars about the history of Selge; in the 5th century AD Zosimus[5] calls it indeed a little town, but it was still strong enough to repel a body of Goths. It is strange that Pliny does not notice Selge, for we know from its coins that it was still a flourishing town in the time of Hadrian; and it is also mentioned in Ptolemy[6] and Hierocles. Independently of wine and oil, the country about Selge was rich in timber, and a variety of trees, among which the storax was much valued from its yielding a strong perfume. Selge was also celebrated for an ointment prepared from the iris root.[7]

The remains of the city consist mainly of parts of the encircling wall and of the acropolis. A few traces have survived of the gymnasium, the stoa, the stadium and the basilica. There are also the outlines of two temples, but the best conserved monument is the theater, restored in the 3rd century AD.

Halfway on the road to Selge from the Pamphylian coastal plain, a well-preserved Roman Bridge crosses the deep Eurymedon valley

A Wolfe and a Bulldog by Nigel Jones

View On Black

We did a walk that started on the green at Westerham and took in the countryside around the Weald of Kent, including Chartwell, the residence of Sir Winston Churchill (the bulldog of the title). A feature of the green are two statues, one of Sir Winston Churchill (Chartwell is just outside of the town) and one of Major General James Peter Wolfe who was born in Westerham. As I walked up to the statue of Churchill this idea of forced perspective came to me. No Photoshop trickery was used here to get the Major General standing on Winston's knee, waving his sword in the air and giving him some sort of lecture, to which he is listening intently :-)

It is a bit of fun and I might just go back and spend a bit more time trying to perfect it, hopefully when the sky is a bit more interesting.

Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, KG, OM, CH, TD, PC, DL, FRS, Hon. RA: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winston_Churchill

Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, KG, OM, CH, TD, PC, DL, FRS, Hon. RA (30 November 1874 – 24 January 1965) was a British politician, best known for his leadership of the United Kingdom during the Second World War. Widely regarded as one of the greatest wartime leaders of the 20th century, he served as Prime Minister twice (1940–45 and 1951–55). A noted statesman and orator, Churchill was also an officer in the British Army, a historian, a writer, and an artist. He is the only British prime minister to have received the Nobel Prize in Literature and was the first person to be made an Honorary Citizen of the United States.

Churchill was born into an aristocratic family as the grandson of the 7th Duke of Marlborough. His father, Lord Randolph Churchill, was a charismatic politician who served as Chancellor of the Exchequer; his mother, Jennie Jerome, was an American socialite. As a young army officer, he saw action in British India, the Sudan, and the Second Boer War. He gained fame as a war correspondent and wrote books about his campaigns.

At the forefront of politics for fifty years, he held many political and cabinet positions. Before the First World War, he served as President of the Board of Trade, Home Secretary, and First Lord of the Admiralty as part of the Asquith Liberal government. During the war, he continued as First Lord of the Admiralty until the disastrous Gallipoli Campaign caused his departure from government. He then briefly resumed active army service on the Western Front as commander of the 6th Battalion of the Royal Scots Fusiliers. He returned to government as Minister of Munitions, Secretary of State for War, and Secretary of State for Air. After the War, Churchill served as Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Conservative (Baldwin) government of 1924–29, controversially returning the pound sterling in 1925 to the gold standard at its pre-war parity, a move widely seen as creating deflationary pressure on the UK economy. Also controversial was his opposition to increased home rule for India and his resistance to the 1936 abdication of Edward VIII.

Out of office and politically "in the wilderness" during the 1930s, Churchill took the lead in warning about Nazi Germany and in campaigning for rearmament. On the outbreak of the Second World War, he was again appointed First Lord of the Admiralty. Following the resignation of Neville Chamberlain on 10 May 1940, Churchill became Prime Minister. His steadfast refusal to consider defeat, surrender, or a compromise peace helped inspire British resistance, especially during the difficult early days of the War when Britain stood alone in its active opposition to Adolf Hitler. Churchill was particularly noted for his speeches and radio broadcasts, which helped inspire the British people. He led Britain as Prime Minister until victory over Nazi Germany had been secured.

After the Conservative Party lost the 1945 election, he became Leader of the Opposition to the Labour (Attlee) government. After winning the 1951 election, he again became Prime Minister, before retiring in 1955. Upon his death, Elizabeth II granted him the honour of a state funeral, which saw one of the largest assemblies of world statesmen in history. Named the Greatest Briton of all time in a 2002 poll, Churchill is widely regarded as being among the most influential people in British history.

Major General James Peter Wolfe: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Wolfe

Major General James Peter Wolfe (3 January 1727 – 13 September 1759) was a British Army officer, known for his training reforms but remembered chiefly for his victory over the French at the Battle of Quebec in Canada in 1759. The son of a distinguished general, Lieutenant-General Edward Wolfe, he had received his first commission at a young age and saw extensive service in Europe where he fought during the War of the Austrian Succession. His service in Flanders and in Scotland, where he took part in the suppression of the Jacobite Rebellion, brought him to the attention of his superiors. The advancement of his career was halted by the Peace Treaty of 1748 and he spent much of the next eight years in garrison duty in the Scottish Highlands. Already a brigade major at the age of eighteen, he was a lieutenant-colonel by the age of twenty-three.

The outbreak of the Seven Years' War in 1756 offered Wolfe fresh opportunities for advancement. His part in the aborted raid on Rochefort in 1757 led William Pitt to appoint him second-in-command of an expedition to capture the Fortress of Louisbourg. Following the success of the Siege of Louisbourg he was made commander of a force which sailed up the Saint Lawrence River to capture Quebec City. After a lengthy siege Wolfe defeated a French force under Louis-Joseph de Montcalm allowing British forces to capture the city. Wolfe was killed at the height of the battle due to injuries from three musket balls.

Wolfe's part in the taking of Quebec in 1759 earned him posthumous fame and he became an icon of Britain's victory in the Seven Years War and subsequent territorial expansion. He was depicted in the painting The Death of General Wolfe, which became very famous around the world. Wolfe was posthumously dubbed "The Hero of Quebec", "The Conqueror of Quebec", and also "The Conqueror of Canada" since the capture of Quebec led directly to the capture of Montreal which ended French control of the country.

Om Namah Shivaya! ॐ by Rohit .

Largr On Black

The ultimate Yogi, the diety of salvation, the highest source of attaining a state of bliss and absolute energy for man, Shiva is the personification of enlightenment - the state of nirvana, a freedom from suffering and the transcendence of the mind to the spiritual realm of limitless joy.

Shiva signifies absolute action and at the same time He is the stillness in the movement and the absorption of co-existing contradictions - the absolute reality beyond time, space and reason. He is the conciousness which bestows bliss and the eternal experience of energy, the portrayal of the potential energy contained in every atom.

The dance of Shiva is the divine motion that goes on inside every atom and the universe as a whole - the spectacular celestial dance, the display of all movements that occur in the inside and the outside of us. Represented in the form of a cylinder, the most stable and elementary shape in creation, He sustains all creation and is the source of all energies emanating from what he represents - Silence and Space.

As described on an audio CD titled The Chants of Shiva. Author - Anonymous.

________________________________________________________________________

Om Namah Shivaya is a popular mantra (chant/prayer) in Hinduism.

Its translation is "adoration (namas) to Shiva", preceded by the mystical syllable "Om".

The meaning of the Namaḥ Śivāya mantra was explained by Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami:

Namaḥ Śivāya is the most holy name of God Śiva, recorded at the very center of the Vedas and elaborated in the Śaiva Agamas.

Na is the Lord's concealing grace, Ma is the world, Śi stands for Śiva, Va is His revealing grace, Ya is the soul. The five elements, too, are embodied in this ancient formula for invocation. Na is earth, Ma is water, Śi is fire, Vā is air, and Ya is ether, or Ākāśa. Many are its meanings.

Namaḥ Śivaya has such power, the mere intonation of these syllables reaps its own reward in salvaging the soul from bondage of the treacherous instinctive mind and the steel bands of a perfected externalized intellect. Namaḥ Śivāya quells the instinct, cuts through the steel bands and turns this intellect within and on itself, to face itself and see its ignorance. Sages declare that mantra is life, that mantra is action, that mantra is love and that the repetition of mantra, japa, bursts forth wisdom from within.

The book "The Ancient Power of Sanskrit Mantra and Ceremony: Volume I" by Thomas Ashley-Farrand defines Om Namah Shivaya as:

"This mantra has no direct translation. The sounds relate directly to the principles which govern each of the first five chakras on the spine...Earth, water, fire, air, ether. Notice that this does not refer to the chakras themselves which have a different set of seed sounds, but rather, the principles which govern those chakras in their place. A very rough, non-literal translation could be something like, 'Om and salutations to that which I am capable of becoming.' This mantra will start one out on the path of subtle development of spiritual attainments. It is the beginning on the path of Siddha Yoga, or the Yoga of Perfection of the Divine Vehicle."

"Na" refers to the Gross Body (annamayakosa), "Ma" refers to the Pranic Body (pranamayakosa), "Shi" or "Chi" refers to the Mental Body (manonmayakosa), "Va" refers to the Intellectual Body (vignanamayakosa) and "Ya" refers to the Blissful Body (anandamayakosa) and "OM" or the "silence" beyond these syllables refers to the Soul or Life within.

________________________________________________________________________

The metaphoric representations of Shiva as per the Holy scriptures:

Shiva's form:

Shiva has a Trident in the right lower arm, with a crescent moon on his head. He is said to be fair like camphor or like an ice clad mountain. He has fire and Damaru (drum) and Mala (beads) or a kind of weapon. In some depictions, he wears five serpents as ornaments, and a garland of skulls. He is pressing with his feet the demon Muyalaka, a dwarf holding a cobra. He faces south. Panchakshara (five syllables/elements) itself is his body. It is believed that Shiva became a god through meditating everyday.

Third eye:

Shiva is often depicted with a third eye, with which he burned Desire (Kāma) to ashes, called "Tryambakam", which occurs in many scriptural sources. It is said to symbolize him as the destroyer of all evil and ignorance.

Crescent moon:

Shiva bears on his head the crescent moon. The epithet "Chandraśekhara" - "Having the moon as his crest" (chandra = "moon"; śekhara = "crest, crown") refers to this feature. The crescent moon is shown on the side of the Lord's head as an ornament. The waxing and waning phenomenon of the moon symbolizes the time cycle through which creation evolves from the beginning to the end. Since the Lord is the Eternal Reality, He is beyond time. Thus, the crescent moon is only one of His ornaments. The wearing of the crescent moon in his head indicates that He has controlled the mind perfectly, is the master of time and is Himself timeless.

Sacred Ganges:

The Ganges river flows from the matted hair of Shiva. The epithet Gaṅgādhara ("bearer of the river Gaṅgā") refers to this feature. The Gaṅgā (Ganges), one of the major rivers of the country, is said to have made her abode in Shiva's hair. The flow of the Ganges is said to represent the nectar of immortality as well as signify the flow of scriptural teachings passing wisdom from one generation to the next.

Tiger skin:

He is often shown seated upon a tiger skin, an honour reserved for the most accomplished of Hindu ascetics, the Brahmarishis. Tiger represents lust. His sitting on the tiger’s skin indicates that He has conquered lust and is fearless.

Serpents:

Shiva is often shown garlanded with a snake. His wearing of serpents on the neck denotes wisdom and eternity. It is also said to signify the ego, which once mastered can be worn as an ornament.

Deer Skin:

Represents that He has removed the "Chanchalata" (tossing) of the mind. Deer jumps from one place to another swiftly. The mind also jumps from one object to another.

Trident:

Shiva's particular weapon is the trident. Held in His right hand it represents the three Gunas (qualities) — Sattva, Rajas and Tamas - Knowledge, Desire and Implementation. That is the emblem of sovereignty. He rules the world through these three Gunas.

Drum

The Damaru (hourglass shaped drum) in His left hand represents the Eternal Sound. It represents OM from which all languages are formed. It is He who formed the Sanskrit language out of the Damaru sound. With this language He gave us the teachings of the Holy Scriptures to guide us through life.

Beads:

The wearing of the beads denotes purity, sometimes with a rosary in the right hand denoting concentration.

Nandī:

Nandī, is the name of the bull that serves as Shiva's mount. Shiva's association with cattle is reflected in his name Paśupati, or Pashupati, translated "lord of cattle" or "lord of animals". The bull represents Dharma (righteousness). Lord Siva rides on the bull. This denotes that Lord Siva is the protector of Dharma, is an embodiment of Dharma or righteousness.

Die Perlhyazinthe gehört zur Familie der Liliengewächse und ist eine früh blühende (auch "Frühblüher" genannte) Zwiebelpflanze, die eine Wuchshöhe von bis zu 20 cm erreicht. Die glockenförmigen Blüten sitzen so dicht beieinander, dass der Blütenstand einem Kolben gleicht. Die Blütenfarbe ist meistens marineblau.

°°°°°°°°°°°

Die Perlhyazinthe ist keine einheimische Pflanze. Über 30 verschiedene Arten von ihr sind bekannt. Sie kommen hauptsächlich im Mittelmeerraum vor.

Sie lieben Halbschatten, vertragen aber auch volle Sonne. An den Boden stellen sie kaum Ansprüche, nur zu nass darf er nicht sein.

Die Perlhyazinthe war Anfang des letzten Jahrhunderts ein verbreitetes Unkraut in Weinbergen.

Durch die Bewirtschaftung der Weinberge ist sie heutzutage selten geworden und steht unter Naturschutz.

Traubenhyazinthen zählen zu den Giftpflanzen!

Beim Hantieren mit diesem Gewächs sollten Sie jedoch Vorsicht walten lassen, da Hyazinthen giftig sind und sogar Hautreizungen verursachen können, wenn man sie berührt.

Thanks for all of your nice comments on my previous pic. Here are some more photography quotes from www.photoquotes.com/

"One very important difference between color and monochromatic photography is this: in black and white you suggest; in color you state. Much can be implied by suggestion, but statement demands certainty… absolute certainty." - Paul Outerbridge - [Julia Scully, “Seeing pictures”, Modern Photography, Oct. 1976, p. 8]

"I never have taken a picture I've intended. They're always better or worse." - Diane Arbus

"Instead of just recording reality, photographs have become the norm for the way things appear to us, thereby changing the very idea of reality and of realism." - Susan Sontag, On Photography by Susan Sontag , ISBN: 0385267061

"To manipulate an image is to control a people." - Carolyn Gerard

Thanks again for all your friendships.

** Edit** Feel free to add a tag to your stream. I might get it to it eventually but I didn't have time after I created it. Digital Agent added his which is a great idea. I added a few tonight.

And of course not everyone that I've connected with in some way or another is on here. Please understand you all are important.

Hopefully FINAL EDIT: I had a lot of fun doing this and learned a few things about Flickr and settings etc.

You can only add so many people to a photo. So I probably would have set this up differently had I known I would add you all to the photo.

Not everyone likes being added to photos therefore a setting is available that allows you to block this feature. You can also remove yourself from a photo. So if you don't care to have yourself listed in this fashion please feel free to remove your name.

Lastly the people that appear on this photo that I couldn't add a "face" for have been done over here.

El Carnaval de Cunit es el más antiguo de la comarca del Baix Penedès tal y como lo entendemos actualmente ya que lleva desde el 1988 celebrándose de manera ininterrumpida; prácticamente son 2 semanas de diferentes actos lúdicos y de fiesta que tiene como evento central la gran rúa de carnaval.

La rúa se celebra el sábado de carnaval y es encabezada por S.M. el Carnestoltes, "rei dels pocasoltes" y la reina de carnaval y sus damas (elegidas en un acto celebrado a mediados de agosto del año anterior); detrás de ellos le sigue más de 60 grupos de comparsas y carrozas de todo el Penedés y parte de Tarragona con una participación en el 2006 de más de 4.500 personas disfrazadas de diferentes temáticas.

Heinsberg, BAP Das volle Programm Tour 2012, 51 by Andy von der Wurm

Bap Colognian (Kölsch) pronunciation: [/bap/] is a German rock group. With ten albums reaching the number one in the German record charts, Bap is one of the most successful rock acts in their home country.

Nearly all of Bap's lyrics are written in Kölsch, the dialect of Cologne, or more precisely in a Kölsch-influenced derivation of Eifelplatt, a regional variant of the Ripuarian language spoken in the nearby rural Eifel. Niedecken's most prominent musical influences, especially early in his career, were Bob Dylan, the Kinks, Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones, and Wolfgang Ambros.

The group was founded in 1976 under the name Wolfgang Niedecken's Bap in Cologne, Germany by Wolfgang Niedecken and Hans Heres. In 1981 they released their most famous song "Verdamp lang her" (English: Damn long time ago), in which Niedecken describes regrets he has about his relationship with his then recently deceased father. The band's name "BAP" derived from "BAPP", both, a play-on-words on the Kölsch word "Papp" (related to the German word Papa for dad), but pronounced differently, and Niedecken's then-times nickname. BAP ist eine Kölschrockband um den Frontmann Wolfgang Niedecken und gilt als eine der erfolgreichsten Rockbands deutscher Sprache. Von den 23 BAP-Alben erreichten 19 die Top 10, zehn wurden sogar Nummer 1 der Charts.Die Gruppe um Sänger und Songschreiber Wolfgang Niedecken besteht seit 1976. Die Band traf sich zu Beginn in wechselnder Besetzung, um „einen Kasten Bier leerzuproben“.[1] Der erste Auftritt erfolgte 1977 im Mariensaal in Köln-Nippes mit zwei akustischen Gitarren (Wolfgang Niedecken, Hans Heres) und Perkussion (Afro Bauermann). Das erste Album, Wolfgang Niedecken's BAP rockt andere kölsche Leeder. erschien 1979, die Band bestand zu dieser Zeit aus Wolfgang Niedecken, Hans „Honçe“ Heres, Wolfgang „Gröön“ Klever, Manfred „Schmal“ Boecker, Wolfgang „Wolli“ Boecker und Bernd Odenthal. Die zweite LP Affjetaut folgte 1980, wie die Debüt-Platte noch unter der Bezeichnung „Wolfgang Niedeckens BAP“, da Niedecken sich bereits als Solo-Künstler mit Gitarre und Mundharmonika als „Bob Dylan der Südstadt“ einen Namen gemacht hatte; beide Platten wurden noch beim Kölner Independent-Label Eigelstein Musikproduktion veröffentlicht.

Der Bandname BAP entstand aus Niedeckens Spitzname, der seinen Vater so nannte. Diese Aussprache entstammt der Herkunft der Familie aus Rheinland-Pfalz, und weil sie vom kölschen „Pap“ abwich, entstand so Niedeckens Spitzname.[2] Als ein erster Auftritt geplant wurde, für den mit einem Plakat geworben werden sollte, musste ein Bandname erdacht werden. Hans Heres schlug dem Veranstalter vor, „BAPP“ zu nehmen.[3] Da sich die Bandmitglieder aber einig waren, dass „BAPP“ – mit zwei „P“ geschrieben – auf der Bassdrum nicht gut aussah, wurde einfach ein „P“ gestrichen.[4]

Der musikalische und inhaltliche Stil der BAP-Songs wird wesentlich von Bob Dylan, den Kinks und den Rolling Stones geprägt. Auch Bruce Springsteen, mit dem Sänger Wolfgang Niedecken eine persönliche Freundschaft verbindet, gilt als wichtiger Orientierungspunkt für BAP. Verschiedene BAP-Lieder, vor allem melancholische (z. B. Helfe kann dir keiner, Paar Daach fröher) zeigen in den Arrangements und der Stimmung deutliche Ähnlichkeiten mit Stücken von Wolfgang Ambros, etwa von dessen Album 19 Class A Numbers. Die Texte beschäftigen sich oft mit gesellschaftlichen oder persönlichen Problemen.1979 fanden unter dem Bandnamen "Wolfgang Niedeckens BAP" erste Auftritte außerhalb von Köln und der näheren Umgebung statt; so zum Beispiel auch anlässlich der Bundesgartenschau 1979 in der Bonner Rheinaue.[5] Im Mai 1982 machte BAP ihre erste professionell organisierte Deutschlandtournee. Im Mittelpunkt standen Songs des aktuellen Albums Für Usszeschnigge, das 1981 als erstes beim Major-Label EMI-Electrola erschienen war. Für den Wechsel von Eigelstein zur EMI mussten BAP in der lokalen Kultur-Szene viel Kritik einstecken, wurden jedoch mit Platz 1 in den deutschen Album-Charts prompt belohnt.

Im Sommer 1982 folgten verschiedene Auftritte im Rahmen von Großveranstaltungen und Fernsehproduktionen: Rockpop In Concert für das ZDF in der Dortmunder Westfalenhalle 1, Demonstration gegen die Nachrüstung der NATO am 10. Juni 1982 (Zehnter Juni) auf den Bonner Rheinwiesen, Vorprogramm der Rolling Stones am 4. und 5. Juli 1982 im Müngersdorfer Stadion in Köln und als erste deutsche Band bei einem Festival des WDR-Rockpalast am 28. August 1982 auf der Loreley-Freilichtbühne.

Nach Erscheinen des vierten Albums Vun drinne noh drusse war die Band zwischen Oktober 1982 und Oktober 1983 sieben Monate lang unterwegs. Neben Deutschland standen auch Konzerte in Österreich, der Schweiz und den Benelux-Ländern auf dem Programm. Insgesamt wurden etwa 130 Auftritte gespielt. Die Tournee endete mit einem Konzert im Kölner „Stollwerck“. Das vom Abriss bedrohte Bürgerhaus Stollwerck erhielt die Einnahmen dieses Konzerts zur Finanzierung seiner weiteren Arbeit. Am 28. Mai 1983 spielte BAP auf einem Festival im niedersächsischen Schüttorf im Vorprogramm von Rod Stewart und am 22. Oktober 1983 auf einer weiteren Großdemonstration gegen die NATO-Nachrüstung im Bonner Hofgarten.

Für den Januar 1984 war – nach langen Verhandlungen mit der staatlichen Künstleragentur – eine Tournee mit 14 Konzerten in 13 Städten der DDR geplant. Im Vorfeld der Tour zeichnete das DDR-Fernsehen ein Interview mit Wolfgang Niedecken inklusive zweier Unplugged-Versionen von BAP-Liedern auf. Dieses wurde später jedoch sinnentstellend verkürzt gesendet. So entschloss sich Niedecken, einige politische Statements, die der Band wichtig waren, in einem eigenen Lied darzustellen. Es wurde als Deshalv spill’ mer he betitelt und erstmals auf dem letzten „West-Konzert“ vor der Tour in Wolfsburg gespielt. Als die Band bereits in Ost-Berlin im Hotel Unter den Linden war, gab es am Vorabend des ersten Konzerts heftige Auseinandersetzungen über dieses Lied mit der DDR-Seite. Als die Band sich weigerte, es von der Setlist zu nehmen, kam es zum Eklat. Die Tournee wurde abgebrochen, bevor das erste Konzert auf dem Boden der DDR gespielt werden konnte. In einer Sendung des DDR-Fernsehens war die Ansage eines Moderators während eines Konzerts im Berliner Palast der Republik zu sehen, zu dem BAP geladen war. Er nannte als Begründung ihrer Absage, die Band wolle „nicht unter dem Symbol der weißen Taube auf blauem Grund auftreten“.[6]

Die Tournee zum Album Zwesche Salzjebäck un Bier begann am 15. und 16. Juni 1984 mit zwei Konzerten im Archäologischen Park in Xanten. Sie wurden vom ZDF aufgezeichnet und später in einer Zusammenfassung gesendet. Die Tour dauerte bis zum Februar 1985 und übertraf von der Zuschauerresonanz her noch die von 1982/83.

Am 2. März 1986 begann in Lohmar bei Köln die Tournee Ahl Männer, aalglatt. BAP spielte zunächst einige Konzerte im ländlichen Raum, bevor die Band am 15. März 1986 in der Essener Grugahalle bei der 17. und letzten Rocknacht des WDR-Rockpalast auftrat. Die Rocknacht, bei der auch Jackson Browne und Big Country auftraten, wurde wie schon das Festival auf der Loreley 1982 via Eurovision von vielen europäischen Radio- und Fernsehstationen ausgestrahlt.

Von April bis Juli folgten zahlreiche weitere Konzerte. Wegen der anhaltenden Popularität wurden teilweise auch größere Hallen ausgewählt. So fanden die „Heimspiele“ der Kölner Band erstmals in der bis zu 8000 Zuschauer fassenden Kölner Sporthalle, der damals größten Veranstaltungshalle der Domstadt, statt. Bei dieser Tournee gab es mit Christian Schneider erstmals auf einer Tournee einen Gastmusiker, weil die zum Teil sehr komplexen Keyboard-Arrangements des neuen Albums live mit nur einem Keyboarder nicht zu realisieren gewesen wären. Schneider spielte neben Keyboards bei einigen Stücken auch Saxophon. Den letzten Auftritt der Tour absolvierte die Band am 26. Juli 1986; genau drei Monate nach der Atomreaktor-Katastrophe von Tschernobyl auf dem legendären Anti-WAAhnsinns-Festival gegen die Wiederaufbereitungsanlage von Wackersdorf in Burglengenfeld.

Nach Ende der Tournee 1986 legte BAP eine kreative Pause ein (u. a. bedingt durch bandinterne, künstlerische Meinungsverschiedenheiten), die Wolfgang Niedecken zur Veröffentlichung seines Albums Schlagzeiten und zu einigen Solo-Konzerten nutzte. BAP stand erst im September 1987 bei zwei Festivals wieder auf der Bühne, um sich auf eine Tournee durch China vorzubereiten. Diese Tournee ist im Buch BAP övver China dokumentiert.

Das Album Da Capo wurde von Oktober bis Dezember 1988 zunächst bei einer ausgedehnten Hallentournee präsentiert. Bei dieser Tournee legte BAP die Scheu vor den ganz großen Konzertarenen endgültig ab. So standen auch die Frankfurter Festhalle und die Münchener Olympiahalle auf dem Programm. Im Sommer 1989 folgten weitere Konzerte, teilweise auch im Rahmen von Festivals gemeinsam mit Joe Cocker. Eines dieser Events fand in der Berliner Waldbühne statt.

Auch die Tournee 1991 wurde in mehreren Teilen durchgeführt. Kurz nach der Vollendung der deutschen Einheit standen im Januar 1991 zunächst die ersten Konzerte der Band auf dem Gebiet der ehemaligen DDR auf dem Programm. Anschließend ging BAP in Westdeutschland auf Club-Tour und absolvierte eine Reihe von Auftritten in beschaulichem Rahmen, zumeist in kleinen Hallen. Das Konzert im Kölner E-Werk wurde aufgezeichnet und später auf dem Album Live – Affrocke veröffentlicht.

Im Mai und Juni 1991 folgte eine Tournee ausschließlich durch die größten deutschen Konzerthallen und bei verschiedenen Open-Air-Festivals. Als Gast bei den Konzerten trat Julian Dawson auf. Am 26. Januar 1994 startete die Tournee zum im August 1993 erschienenen Album Pik Sibbe. Nach wie vor war die Nachfrage in der BAP-Hochburg Köln groß, in einigen anderen Städten blieben die Zuschauerzahlen etwas hinter den Erwartungen zurück. Die folgende Tournee zum Album Amerika begann im November 1996. Der Tourneestart in Koblenz wurde für den WDR-Rockpalast mitgeschnitten und später im Fernsehen ausgestrahlt.

Mit dem Ausstieg von Bassist Steve Borg und von Gründungsmitglied Manfred „Schmal“ Boecker verließen zwei Musiker die Band, die BAP über viele Jahre mitgeprägt haben. 1999 stieg auch Gitarrist Klaus „Major“ Heuser aus, der während 19 Jahren Bandmitgliedschaft die überwiegende Zahl der Lieder komponierte. Außerdem verließ Keyboarder Alexander „Effendi“ Büchel die Firma BAP. Diese Abgänge und die darauf folgenden Neubesetzungen veränderten den musikalischen Ausdruck von BAP nachhaltig.

Zu den Gründen für den Ausstieg von Major sagt Wolfgang Niedecken rückblickend im März 2011:

„Der Major ist ein toller Gitarrist. Aber er wollte, dass BAP international ausgerichteten Radio-Pop spielt. Ich wollte beim Kölsch-Rock bleiben. Beide Positionen waren nicht vereinbar. Ich bin ihm dankbar, dass er selbst gegangen ist. Ich hätte ihn nämlich nie rausgeschmissen.[7]“

Als Neuzugang an den Keyboards stieg Michael Nass bei BAP ein, der zuvor in den 1980er Jahren in der DDR-Musikszene musikalisch sehr aktiv war, u. a. bei P 16 und später in Liselotte Rezniceks Frauenband Mona Lise. Gitarrist wurde Helmut Krumminga. Im Sommer 2001 gab BAP vor der eigentlichen Aff un zo-Tour ab Herbst 2001 zwei Vorabkonzerte, darunter das „Konzert an der toten Brücke“ (Soda-Brücke) in Euskirchen, das auch vom WDR aufgezeichnet und wenige Tage später in der Sendung Rockpalast gesendet wurde. Das Album selbst stieg wie der Vorgänger Tonfilm auf Platz 1 in die deutschen Charts ein.

Im Januar 2006 war die Kölnarena zwar anlässlich des Starts der Jubiläumskonzerte zum 30-jährigen Bestehen der Band mit 25.000 Zuschauern an zwei aufeinander folgenden Tagen fast ausverkauft. Bei anderen Auftritten hatte man sich von vorneherein durch die Wahl kleinerer Konzertorte angepasst.

Auch das im Mai 2008 erschienene Album Radio Pandora stieg auf Platz 1 in die deutschen Charts ein. Im Winter 2008 startete die Tournee dazu, am 2. Weihnachtstag gab es das Heimspiel in der Köln-Arena (Lanxess-Arena); sie dauerte (mit Unterbrechungen) bis zum Sommer 2009, wobei die Band von Anne de Wolff (Violine, Bratsche, Gesang) und teilweise von Rhani Krija (Percussion) begleitet wurde.

Für November 2011 war der Start der aktuellsten Tournee geplant. Aufgrund einer schweren Erkrankung Wolfgang Niedeckens wurde der Start der Tour auf Anfang Mai 2012 verschoben.[8][9][10]

Auslandsauftritte [Bearbeiten]

BAP ist im Laufe der bisher 35-jährigen Bandgeschichte in vielen Ländern der Welt aufgetreten. Nachdem sich die Bandmitglieder anfangs kaum vorstellen konnten, dass ihre kölschen Texte außerhalb des Rheinlandes verstanden würden, durften sie erleben, dass ihre Platten weit darüber hinaus gekauft wurden. Tourneen waren dadurch auch im Ausland möglich.

Die ersten Auftritte außerhalb Deutschlands waren im Dezember 1982 in der Schweiz (Basel und St.Gallen)[11] und bis Mitte der 1980er Jahre in Österreich, Luxemburg, Belgien und Dänemark (Roskilde-Festival). Seitdem gehören Auftritte in diesen Nachbarländern zum Bestandteil jeder Tournee.

Spätere Fernreisen wurden zumeist als Begleitung zu künstlerischen oder politischen Themen organisiert; häufig war nicht die komplette Gruppe unterwegs; manchmal auch nur Wolfgang Niedecken alleine oder in Begleitung von Musikern seiner Solo-Projekte:

Mit einigen Gästen tourte BAP im Oktober 1987 vier Wochen durch China. Acht Auftritte wurden in Peking, Shanghai und Kanton absolviert.[12]

Wolfgang Niedecken spielte 1987 auf Einladung der Kulturstiftung Casa de los tres Mundos (ein Projekt des Schauspielers Dietmar Schönherr, des Produzenten Peter Reichelt und des Kulturministers Ernesto Cardenal) mit seiner Complizen-Band in Nicaragua.

In ähnlicher Zusammensetzung spielten Wolfgang Niedecken & Complizen 1988 in Mosambik eine kleine Tour.

Die politischen Veränderungen in der Sowjetunion unter Gorbatschow machten es möglich, dass BAP im Mai 1989 je drei Konzerte in Moskau und Wolgograd gab.[13] Dort kamen die Musiker auch mit Fans aus der DDR ins Gespräch. Nachdem die BAP-Tour durch Ostdeutschland 1984 abgesagt wurde, war der Umweg über die UdSSR die einzige Möglichkeit, als DDR-Bürger mit der Band zu sprechen.

View On Black

Port Meadow is a large area of common land to the north and west of Oxford. The meadow is an ancient area of grazing land, still used for horses and cattle, and has never been ploughed. In return for helping to defend the kingdom against the marauding Danes, the Freemen of Oxford were given the 120ha of pasture next to the River Thames by King Alfred, who founded the City in the 10th Century. The Freemen's collective right to graze their animals free of charge was recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086 and has been exercised ever since.

It runs from Jericho to Wolvercote along the east (left) bank of the River Thames, with the railway and the suburb of North Oxford further to the east, and the village of Binsey to the west. It is a typical English floodmeadow and is a favourite area for walking, with easy access from the city of Oxford. At the southern end of the meadow is Fiddler's Island in a loop of the river Thames. In the winter the meadow floods and, if frozen, forms a huge and safe area for skating. In late spring vast areas are carpeted with buttercups. Horses, cattle and geese graze the meadow and many birds can often be seen.

K everyone....I have to elaborate on why I'm so excited about these pics of Rachel..... Its not that I haven't shot with a pretty girl before.....Its that I've begged and begged this girl since the day I met her 2 years ago to do pictures with me. All she's ever done with me is her family pics. The woman is a knockout (obviously) but she didn't have the same confidence about her that I had. WELL.......I got her to shoot with me! And I GOT TO DO THE HAIR AND MAKE UP TOO!!!!!! She kind of blows your mind huh?

Mont Ventoux by Vins 64

View On Black

Le mont Ventoux est un sommet français culminant à 1 912 mètres. Il fait environ 25 kilomètres de long sur un axe est-ouest pour 15 kilomètres de large sur un axe nord-sud. Surnommé le Géant de Provence ou le mont Chauve, il est le point culminant du massif des Baronnies et le plus haut sommet de Vaucluse. Son isolement géographique le rend visible sur de grandes distances, ce qui lui confère son nom actuel. Il constitue d'ailleurs la frontière linguistique entre le nord et le sud-occitan.

Avant d'être parcourue par trois routes principales, ce qui a permis le développement du tourisme vert et des sports d'hiver ainsi que l'organisation de grandes courses cyclistes, de bolides motorisés ou autres défis, la montagne était sillonnée de drailles tracées par les bergers à la suite de l'essor de l'élevage ovin. Ces chemins ont désormais été transformés en sentiers de randonnée.

Sa nature essentiellement calcaire est responsable de sa vive couleur blanche et d'une intense karstification due à l'érosion par l'eau, avec la présence de nombreux pierriers dans la partie sommitale. Les précipitations sont particulièrement abondantes au printemps et à l'automne. L'eau de pluie s'infiltre dans des galeries et rejaillit au niveau de résurgences au débit variable telles la Fontaine de Vaucluse.

GOMPHOSPHAERIA APONINA, CIANOBACTERIA DE ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ by Proyecto Agua

Ahora en Biodiversidad virtual y hace poco en El País -en pdf- gracias a Elisabet Sans. También en la web de la Fundación Biodiversidad

Gomphosphaeria aponina es una cianobacteria de corazones verdes, así está hecha y de este modo forma pequeñas colonias esféricas protegidas todas por una envuelta gelatinosa. A pesar de su sencillez y su simplicidad también las cianobacterias pueden dar lugar a formas relativamente complejas y hermosas. Hace poco tuvimos ocasión de comprobarlo en el común Nostoc y hoy la no tan común Gomphosphaeria nos muestra su esfera de corazones.

Gomphosphaeria aponina forma parte de la flora acuática que habita en las aguas salinas del litoral. Pedro González Guerrero la citó en los Anales del Jardín Botánico, en la década de 1940, haciendo referencia a los hallazgos que de esta especie hizo en las salinas de Cádiz. En ellas, esta pequeña especie junto con otro reducido grupo de algas y cianobacterias es capaz de soportar condiciones extremas de salinidad.

La colonia que mostramos aquí, procede de un excepcional enclave que merece la pena ser protegido y que afortunadamente se ha salvado de la destrucción generada por la edificación indiscriminada en zonas de costa: el marjal de Peñíscola. Detrás de los edificios situados en primera línea de playa de esta localidad se extiende una pequeña zona de lagunas salinas que constituyen un auténtico tesoro de biodiversidad y que entre otras especies de peces, alberga a la mayor población mundial de Samaruc, Valencia hispanica y es una de las últimas reservas del Fartet , Aphanius iberus además de diversos tipos de especies de aves, así como la única reserva europea del caracol Melanoides tuberculata .

A todas esas joyas de nuestra fauna se suma esta otra diminuta de nuestra flora Gomphosphaeria aponina . Deberán todas ellas resistir como la magnífica fortaleza que el Papa Luna hizo construir en esta localidad.

El género Gomphosphaeria comprende menos de una decena de especies y pueden vivir en lagunas y cursos fluviales de diferente naturaleza. Alguna de ellas, sin quererlo, sembró el pánico en las aguas cristalinas del río Razón, junto a la localidad Soriana de Espejo de Tera…sus aguas se tiñeron de una tonalidad rojiza… se pensó en un vertido ilegal, pero acercándose a las gotas de agua de este curso del río se comprobó que todo eran esferas de ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ que Gomphosphaeria sembró.

La pequeña colonia de Gomphosphaeria aponina vino con unas muestras recogidas hace semanas en el Marjal de Peníscola y ha sido fotografiada con 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia.

Baggara streek (= nomaden)

We rijden dwars door een savanne - gebied waar veel nomaden doortrekken met hun grote kudden runderen en geiten.

Het zijn de Fulani - nomaden die het Nuba-gebied doortrekken. Ze komen van west Soedan en trekken in de richting van de Witte Nijl naar het oosten.

De vrouwen en kinderen zitten hoog bovenop de kamelen, waarop ze dikwijls een bed hebben gemonteerd. Van daaruit hebben ze tevens een goed uitzicht hoog boven het hoge gras. Soms volgen nog wat volgeladen karren met etenswaren en vooral met veel water. Die karretjes worden dan getrokken door ezels.

uit:

nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulbe

Fula or Fulani are an ethnic group of people spread over many countries, predominantly in West Africa, but found also in Central Africa and Sudanese North Africa, and as far as Sudan in the east. Fulas are not a majority in every country they live, but in Guinea they represent a plurality of the population (largest single group).

Helgeshaugen og bautasteiner ved Helge-Gaard (1849) by Municipal Archives of Trondheim

Thingkredsen, Bautastenene og Kjæmpehøien ved Helge-Gaard i Stoed

I september 1849 dro trondhjemmer Bernt Theodor Aas på en tur til Steinkjer. Han hadde med seg en skissebok, og tegnet og malte det han opplevde. Skisseboken er bevart, og befinner seg i dag i en privat samling.

Om kunstneren:

Bernt Theodor Aas var født 4 september 1807 i Trondhjem, og døpt i Vår Frue kirke. Han var sønn av Johannes Aas, klokker på Røros. I 1829 var han student ved Universitetet i Oslo, og var en av vennene i omgangskretsen til Henrik Wergeland (1808 - 1845). Mens Bernt var i Oslo fungerte han også som lærer ved privatskolen Overlærer Ulrik Møllers Institut.

I 1833 var han tilbake i Trondhjem igjen og nyforlovet med Caroline Bergithe Caftecia Iversen (1811 - 1906). De bodde i Strandgaden. Samme år hadde han blitt lærer ved Trondhjems borgerlige Realskoles Pigeskole (Døtreskolen). Aas underviste elevene i pikeskolens andreklasse i fagene skrivning, historie, tegning, geografi og fransk.

Pikeskolen var grunnlagt 1801 og er Norges eldste pikeskole. Pikeskolen var en avleder fra Trondhjems borgerlige Realskole, grunnlagt 1783 som resultat av en pengedonasjon fra Hilmar Meincke.

I tillegg til å være lærer ved pikeskolen, fungerte Aas som kasserer ved skolen 1835 - 1845. I 1846 søkte han avskjed fra skolen etter en ganske opphetet offentlig debatt omhandlende foreningen av Realskolen og Borgerskolen (også kalt Vullumske Institutt) samt inspektørstillingen ved Realskolen. Flere leserinnlegg i Adresseavisen kan leses den 3 februar, 14 februar og 19 februar 1846.

Aas fortsatte imidlertid som lærer ved Realskolen inntil han fratrådte sin stilling den 15 januar 1853. Bernt Theodor Aas døde ikke lenge etter av "afkræftelse" den 4 juni 1853.
