Als Gast in der Glashütte Eisch arbeitete Mare Saare im Rahmen des „Artist in Residence“-Programms vier Wochen in Frauenau. Während dieser Zeit konnte sie alle Möglichkeiten der Hütte für die Herstellung ihrer Kunstwerke nutzen. Hier entstanden Objekte, die, neben aktuellen Werken aus Ihrem Atelier in Tallinn, vom 19. August bis 7. November 2009 in der Galerie am Museum in Frauenau gezeigt werden.
Als „Tor zwischen Ost und West“ wurde die Estin Mare Saare von ihrer belgischen Kollegin Sandra De Clerck auf der Vernissage zur aktuellen Frauenauer Ausstellung vorgestellt; und tatsächlich ist der Name der vielgereisten und vielseitigen Glasprofessorin von der Kunstakademie in Tallinn fest verknüpft mit dem Ankommen der facettenreichen estländischen und baltischen Glaskunst in der Internationalen Studiobewegung.
Mare Saares Arbeiten öffnen dabei nicht nur den Blick auf eine fern gerückte Glas- und Kunstszene, sondern vor allem auf den flüchtigen Zauber der Ostseelandschaft, und auf eine Persönlichkeit, in der Vitalität und Verwundbarkeit zusammen wirken.
Das Glas, seine Fragilität und seine Herkunft aus körnigem, leicht verwehtem Sand benutzt sie mit genialer Virtuosität: Ein vielfarbiger, schwingender Kelch entspringt einem noch zerbrechlicher wirkenden Grund aus körnig verschmolzenem Glas, er nährt sich von ihm, bis dieser gleichsam bröckelt und schließlich inexistent, zu Sand wird.
Die in Frauenau ausgestellten, blumenartigen Objekte der Serie „Fragile Circuit“, gearbeitet in pâte de verre-Technik, stehen für einen zerbrechlichen Kreislauf, der gleichwohl ewig ist wie Ebbe und Flut. Sand ist bei Mare Saare nicht nur ein künstlerisches Bild für Erneuerung und Wiederkehr, sondern dient – neben gemahlenem und gekröseltem Glas – tatsächlich auch als technisches Ausgangsmaterial und als immer wieder verwendbare Auflage im Formprozess der zarten Objekte.
Ihr individuelles Herstellungsverfahren für diese Objekte verwendet Sand als technische Hilfe, als Form und Auflage im Schmelzprozess. Sand ist unendlich wiederverwendbar und steht auch dadurch für die Idee der Erneuerung und Ewigkeit. Der Boden der Arbeiten wird in Glas gegossen, der Blütenkelch ist aus verschmolzenen Glaskröseln in pâte de verre-Technik hergestellt.
Die Künstlerin selbst beschreibt Ihre Werke so:
„Meine Arbeiten sind oft extrem zerbrechliche, offene Tellerformen. Ich arbeite gerne mit Farben, selten aber mit völliger Transparenz. Ich versuche das Zerbrechliche, Zarte, das Verletzliche und das Flüchtige im Glas zu vereinigen, indem ich farbige Glaspulver in Formen aus Sand fuse.“

This building is now in its 8th year of re-de-generation...Its gone from Bossuns , renkowned for their Pottery and Decorative Plaques, to a reasonable state and partially used as a gymn to boarded up, to covered in palstic sheeting, to surrounded by scaffolding and now to this! Makes you proud to live in the town. This building is many many times bigger than the Congleton Museum, library, theatre and youth centres combined...and a better building with excellent parking and location....so...if the loft dwellers dont want it anymore...why not put it to a proper use?

Minchinbury takes its name from the property named by Capt. William Minchin who was granted 1,000 acres (4.0 km2) here in 1819. William Minchin was the Principal Superintendent of Police and Treasurer of the Police Fund in the colony. After the death of William in 1821, the property passed to his only daughter Maria Matilda. In 1838, Maria Matilda and her family were lost at sea, leaving no descendants of William Minchin alive.
Dr. Charles McKay purchased the property in 1859 and developed it into vineyards and cellars. Over the next 2 decades, Dr. McKay bought many neighbouring properties and in 1881, he put all of his land up for auction. At this time, the land did not sell and it wasn't until 1895 that James Angus bought all of McKay's properties.
Penfolds Pty. Ltd. purchased the winery and vineyards in 1912. Most of the existing buildings at the winery were probably added while under the ownership of Penfolds. In 1898, during Angus' winemaking years, the vineyards suffered a viral disease that destroyed the vines. New vines were planted and grew until 1962 when soil erosion made them useless. New vineyards were established on other properties around the area to supply the fruit for the winery. Minchinbury Winery became famous for its champagne. Penfolds stopped operations at the winery in 1978

This is for Dennis, a collector of lighthouses, who is about to undergo a long and difficult operation this morning.
This one on Coquet Island off the coast of Northumberland was built in 1841 at a cost of £3268 to the design of James Walker. The first keeper appointed to Coquet lighthouse was William Darling, elder brother of local heroine Grace Darling. He was in fact the second of her brothers to become a keeper in the Trinity House Service, as was her father. It has been said that it was probably a boat trip to see her brother at Coquet Island in the summer of 1842 that led to a chill which eventually proved fatal to her. In fact Grace Darling died from tuberculosis ("consumption") in 1842 at the age of 27.
Almost the silhouette of a nuclear submarine, this island also serves as a protected bird sanctuary.

World War I, a.k.a. First World War -
The Great War
"The War to End All Wars"
It was a total war which left millions dead and helped to shape the modern world.
At 11:00am on November 11, 1918 —
eleventh hour
eleventh day
eleventh month —
A ceasefire came into effect and the opposing armies on the Western Front began to withdraw from their positions.
In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
— Lt.-Col. John McCrae
The poem "In Flanders Fields" by the Canadian army physician John McCrae remains to this day one of the most memorable war poems ever written. It is a lasting legacy of the terrible battle in the Ypres salient in the spring of 1915.
"This poem was literally born of fire and blood during the hottest phase of the second battle of Ypres. My headquarters were in a trench on the top of the bank of the Ypres Canal, and John had his dressing station in a hole dug in the foot of the bank. During periods in the battle men who were shot actually rolled down the bank into his dressing station.
Along from us a few hundred yards was the headquarters of a regiment, and many times during the sixteen days of battle, he and I watched them burying their dead whenever there was a lull. Thus the crosses, row on row, grew into a good-sized cemetery.
Just as he describes, we often heard in the mornings the larks singing high in the air, between the crash of the shell and the reports of the guns in the battery just beside us.
I have a letter from him in which he mentions having written the poem to pass away the time between the arrival of batches of wounded, and partly as an experiment with several varieties of poetic metre." Lieutenant Colonel Edward Morrison

Het "levende standbeeld" van de schilder Vincent Van Gogh.
Vincent Willem van Gogh (Zundert, 30 maart 1853 – Auvers-sur-Oise, 29 juli 1890) was een Nederlands kunstschilder. Zijn werk valt onder het postimpressionisme, een kunststroming die het negentiende-eeuwse impressionisme opvolgde. Van Goghs invloed op het expressionisme, het fauvisme en de vroege abstractie was enorm en kan worden gezien in vele andere aspecten van de twintigste-eeuwse kunst. Het Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam is gewijd aan het werk van Van Gogh en zijn tijdgenoten.
Van Gogh wordt tegenwoordig gezien als één van de grote schilders van de 19de eeuw. Deze erkenning kwam echter pas laat. Tijdens zijn leven werd maar één schilderij verkocht: De rode wijngaard (Poesjkinmuseum in Moskou). Anna Boch, een Belgische kunstenares en zus van zijn vriend Eugène Boch kocht het voor 400 toenmalige frank op de expositie van de Brusselse Les XX in 1890, een paar maanden voor Van Goghs dood.
Er verliepen maar drie jaar tussen zijn zwaarmoedige De Aardappeleters (1885) en de kleurenexplosie in het zuidelijke Arles (1888). Van Gogh produceerde al zijn werk in slechts tien jaar, voordat hij begon te lijden aan een zenuwziekte en zelfmoord pleegde. Zijn roem groeide na zijn dood snel.

About the Shot
Usually when I visit the zoo, the baboons are frolicking up the back of their sizeable enclosure, too far away for my 200mm to reach. This time, I arrived at the viewing window to find a huge crowd of people gathered. I waited patiently for a couple of minutes then pushed to the front to be greeted with this lovely sight. Two of the zoo's newest babies right down the front. I'm going to guess that the wee one with the grass in his mouth is Chandu. He was more confident than the other one. Within minutes the youngsters were scooped up and carried away so I got there just at the right time.

About the Baboon Babies
Edinburgh Zoo has welcomed the first of its spring arrivals in the form of three baby gelada baboons. The new additions, which are the first gelada babies to be born at the Zoo, have been named Chandu, Chibale and Chiku. Chandu, who was the first to arrive on 10 February, is the only one to be sexed so far and is a boy. Chibale, whose name means kinship, followed on 6 March and Chiku, whose name means chatter, finally arrived on 10 March. The names for the three baboons have been chosen by their keepers to reflect the Ethiopian origin of this species.
Gelada baboons have only been part of the animal collection since 2007 when a group of seven arrived from Rheine Zoo in Germany. In 2008 the Zoo received a male called Malachi from Colchester Zoo who is father to all three babies.
Gelada baboons live in the Ethiopian Highlands. They live in large troops, led by one dominant male, with younger males, females and infants of all ages making up the rest of the group. They are currently in danger of extinction due to the expansion of the local human population. Not only do they have to compete for land but they are also targeted by farmers who suspect them of crop-raiding.
Georgina Cook, one of the Primate Keepers at Edinburgh Zoo, said:
“We’re really happy that our gelada group have bred successfully as it means that they have settled in really well. The youngsters have already started exploring the enclosure on their own and we’re sure they will prove to be very popular with visitors.”

An imposing twelve-sided table
Estimate: PHP 1,200,000 - 1,400,000
First quarter, 20th century
Laguna
Narra and kamagong, kamagong inlays
83 x 224 x 224 cm (32 1/2 x 88 x 88 in)
Provenance:
Formerly from the family of Candelaria Moldes Santos, wife of Col. Leopoldo Santos, Philippine army and guerilla fighter during the Japanese occupation
Made in the Bilibid Prison which, from the early American colonial period until the end of the first half of the 20th century, manufactured high quality household and office furniture as part of its program to rehabilitate prisoners in preparation for their reintegration into mainstream society. Their outputs were arguably unrivaled in terms of craftsmanship, design and prolificity.
A rare 12-sided top, made of solid one-piece narra wood, framed by precious kamagong wood carved around the edges with acanthus gadrooning. To harvest wood with a girth this size - over 7 feet across when finished - the felled giant tree must be well over a hundred years old. Each conforming side of the frieze is carved with foliated scrolls centering an anthemion flower inscribed with C-volute. The heavy base is made of two crossed curule seat-shaped legs carved with foliated scrolls bordered by broad kamagong inlays, and undulate with winged rosettes, connected to a huge, turned central cylinder with flutings surmounted by scrolled arches and a finial. The lion’s paws with winged extensions embody immense strength and power.
Overall, the workmanship is quite remarkable, displaying great detailed carvings and decorations alluding to the Italian Neoclassical style that was popular in the early 19th century. A classic, timeless statement piece that will surely draw exclamations of surprise and admiration. Found in Santa Rosa, Laguna.

This is the same "thing" as seen in my Bunker Hilltop Sunset Photo, just seen from a different angle. I'm still not sure what this is. I think it's a siren or some kind of alarm.
I know the whole name thing is a bit overdone but I'm just trying some new things. Oh and this is a 3 exp hdr in photomatix. Then in photoshop I used a bit of digital blending on the sky to get rid of some 'Halo'ing around the siren and clouds.
A splendid Ah Tay bed with Dayap fruit motif
Estimate: PHP 800,000 - 850,000
Last Quarter, 19th century
Binondo, Manila
Narra, cane / solihiya
247 x 143 x 220 cm

Lot 451 of the Salcedo Auctions auction on 21 September 2019. Please see salcedoauctions.com for more details.
Famous Chinese furniture maker, Ah Tay, and his iconic calabasa bed has remained one of the most coveted pieces of furniture in our history. Though instantly recognizable because of the obvious typical design elements, the scramble for genuine examples from the scores of reproductions continue to grow due to increasing demand from serious collectors. Calabasa bed – aptly named for the heavily gadrooned halved squash shape used for bed posts – is a juxtaposition of varied styles prevalent in Europe from the 1840s to 1880s: Gothic Revival, Rococo Revival and Renaissance Revival. This bed, in particular, has all the quintessential Ah Tay traits, crafted at the highest level – something that latter pieces will never be able to duplicate – that only the master himself can accomplish. Interestingly, there is age-appropriate numbering in Chinese characters on each calabasa support that matches with the corresponding post, thereby avoid mismatching the parts during assembly – a solid proof of Chinese hands in the making this bed. The lustrous patina and the unfeignable signs of usage accumulated over a long time are tactile testaments to its authenticity.
Ah Tay loved to incorporate tropical fruits in his beds. In this example, dayap fruits in varying degree of maturity are carved as decorative motif. Dayap (citrus aurantifolia) is a small tree native to Southeast Asia. Its most popular use in the Philippines is its rind added to leche flan or creme caramel for a distinct, sharp citrusy flavor. This is no coincidence as the original owners of the bed had a dayap farm in Pulupandan town in Negros, thus the sentimental association. They can be seen in the headboard bottom support, inside lyre posts, and from the canopy’s vaulted crests dangling gracefully. In a very good and sturdy condition. Found in a house in Mandaluyong.

Thousands demonstrated on Friday in Tahrir Square, demanding public trial of Mubarak, his interior ministry Habib el-Adly, and other regime figures.
The square and the surrounding streets since early morning have been emptied from all police and military presence. Most of the established political forces, most notably the Muslim Brothers, did not take part in the demonstrations.
The families of the martyrs were present, and demanded speedy trials of the police murderers, as it's becoming clear day by day that they will get away with what they did. More shockingly, most police officers who are currently undergoing trial still hold their positions (or have been promoted)! Demonstrators also denounced the brutal police crackdown on the protests in the square on Tuesday night and Wednesday.
Protesters marched, in solidarity with the detainees, by 4pm on the ministerial cabinet headquarters and the interior ministry. Policemen from inside the interior ministry's compound threw rocks and were making provocative gestures with their hands. Protesters responded by rocks and a shower of insults and chants against both the military and the police.
I've heard very strong chants, demanding the execution of Mubarak, Adly and Field Marshal Tantawi. While some are staging a sit in at the moment, others will resume protesting on Saturday, in the run up to the mass protests planned next Friday 8 July.

Oberammergau ligt in Zuid-Duitsland, in de deelstaat Beieren. De hoofdstad is Munchen.
Dit dorpje is beroemd om het " Passiespel" dat sinds 1634 elke 10 jaar wordt opgevoerd met uitsluitend inwoners van Oberammergau. De Lijdensweg van Christus wordt uitgebeeld tot de kruisiging.
Het volgende passiespel gaat door in 2010.
Zie:
nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oberammergau
and:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oberammergau
Oberammergau is a municipality in the district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, in Bavaria, Germany. The town is famous for its production of a Passion Play and the NATO School.
The Oberammergau Passion Play was first performed in 1634 and is the result of a vow made by the inhabitants of the village that if God spared them from the effects of the bubonic plague then sweeping the region they would perform a passion play every ten years. The play is now performed in years ending with a zero, except 1984 which was the 350th anniversary, and involves over 2000 actors, singers, instrumentalists and technicians, all residents of the village.
The village is also known as the home of a long tradition of woodcarving. The streets of central Oberammergau are home to dozens of woodcarver shops, with pieces ranging from religious subjects, to toys, to humoristic portraits.
Oberammergau is also famous for its "Lüftlmalerei," or frescoes, of traditional Bavarian themes, fairy tales, or religious scenes found on many homes and buildings. Lüftlmalerei is common Upper Bavaria and its name may be derived from an Oberammergau house called Zum Lüftl, which was the home of facade painter Franz Seraph Zwinck (1748–1792).

A stately four-poster canopy bed

Lot 450 of the Salcedo Auctions auction on 21 September 2019. Please see salcedoauctions.com for more details.
A well-conceived bed with elaborate and very finely carved details, designed to impress. It may appear as a gallimaufry of Rococo and Renaissance Revival styles, but the impression is nothing short of stately and elegant. The imposing rectangular headboard, canopy and bed frame brackets are pierce-carved with acanthus leaves, scrolls, flowers, fruits (duhat or Java plum and chesa or canistel), and foliage. The crests rise and fall gracefully along the perimeters of the canopy like cascading waves. The legs and post supports have turned rings, spools, balls and vases; and the barley-twist posts are deeply carved. The bed frame, carved with long lunettes on the sides, is tenoned through the post supports carved with round cabochons. Such exquisite work! The superb craftsmanship and very good condition justifiably make this one of the best provincial beds we have handled.

Shot this scene in my backyard in Virginia a few days after a snowfall. I love this tree and can't wait for spring to see the change. I took a break from shoveling snow and grabbed the camera...just had too ! The low sky added a nice gray backdrop to the trees and the curve of the fence line across the top of the hill just adds to the shot.
Dedicated to the memory of our dear friend, John Fawcett, Head of Collection Development, Buswell Library, Wheaton College, Illinois. A man of great soul, mighty laughter, profound depth of faith, a counselor of others, a musician, and, in his long battle with cancer, an inspiration and amazement to us all. For Margie, Charlotte, and Josiah, may you find yourselves wrapped in the tender love of family and friends, as you suffer this great loss.

While the doctors thought John would die the night before this poem was written, in his great fortitude, he pressed on until the end of May, defying all possible expectations, and inspired many in the intervening months. Such was John!
John Fawcett's funeral was a three-hour epic of music and celebration for a life richly lived and devoted to the worship and service of the God he loved. It was masterfully crafted and composed--in all its parts--around a dazzlingly rich array of musical sound and acclaimed Word of God--that took all present through a full gamut of emotions, from the grieving of our loss, to the joyful celebration of the resurrection, the latter aspect of which included all the many children dancing in the aisles--something I have never seen at a funeral. It was a fitting culmination to his long recent months (and years) of battle with cancer, and the tone of the service was triumphal, while not escapist, nor pretending that death is not anything but our last and worst enemy. I have never experienced anything like it, and I presume that John himself orchestrated the entire musical production, which included a piece composed and performed especially for the event, by his friend, professional pianist, Danial Paul Horn, also of Wheaton College.

A visit to the Museo Etrusco on the Via Don Giovanni Minzoni in Volterra. Was a lot of Etruscan and Roman artifacts here. Also a back garden.
The Guarnacci museum is one of oldest public museums of Europe: it began in 1761 when the noble abbot Mario Guarnacci (Volterra 1701-1785) gave its enormous archaeological heritage, collected over years of research and purchases, to the "public of the city of Volterra".
The current disposition and location of materials demonstrate Maffei’s positivistic impact, with items separated by classes and the urns distinguished according to the theme of the bas-relief on the case. While respecting the historic memory of this arrangement, an attempt was made, in recent times, to associate it with another, more didactic, chronological tour inside the exhibition itself, able to conduct the visitor through the long history of the Etruscan Velathri.
The Guarnacci Etruscan Museum is located in via Don Minzoni in Volterra , and contains one of the most beautiful collections of Etruscan art.
In 1776 the canon of the cathedral of Volterra Pietro Franceschini found near the Etruscan necropolis of the Portone a hypogeum of considerable size dating back to the Hellenistic period, containing forty Etruscan urns, which in 1777 donated to the town of Volterra . This donation was the first nucleus of the Civic Museum which soon collected many other works found in the surroundings of Volterra and which until then had been kept in private collections of noblemen from Volterra.
Among the various donations, the most important and most important was that of Monsignor Mario Guarnacci ( 1701 - 1785 ), a wealthy priest who promoted numerous archaeological excavation campaigns, which on 15 September 1761 donated his entire collection to the newborn museum. He was named after the museum that in over two centuries of history has increased its heritage thanks to numerous excavation campaigns promoted by the Superintendency of Antiquities of Etruria.
The first seat of the museum was Palazzo Ruggeri, home of Guarnacci, later it was transferred first to some halls of the town hall and then from 1877 in the Desideri-Tangassi palace, the current headquarters.
The first Prefect and Librarian of the Guarnacci Museum is the Roman abbot Francesco Ballani , well-known librettist of his time, who was succeeded by Giuseppe Cailli in 1805 until his death in 1810 . Francesco Inghirami ( 1772 - 1846 ) occupied this position from 1810 until 1815 .
I didn't take much inside of the museum, only what took my interest at the time. Was mostly all the same kind of things from the Etruscan period.
On the floor in the middle of the building I didn't get more than these two sculptures. There was rooms with Roman tiles on the floors under raised walkways, and more sarcophagus!
L'Ombra della Sera - apparently somebody used to used this as a back scratcher until they realised how old it was!
The Shadow of the Evening
The bronze comes from the antiques market and was part of the collection at least since 1737 by Filippo Buonarroti in Florence. Since the work certainly comes from Volterra. Mario Guarnacci, the founder of the homonymous Museum where it is now preserved, acquired by exchange or purchase, around 1750.
