Lake Titicaca is a lake located on the border of Peru and Bolivia. It sits 3,812 m above sea level, making it the highest commercially navigable lake in the world. By volume of water, it is also the largest lake in South America.
The lake is located at the northern end of the endorheic Altiplano basin high in the Andes on the border of Peru and Bolivia. The western part of the lake lies within the Puno Region of Peru, and the eastern side is located in the Bolivian La Paz Department.
The lake is composed of two nearly separate sub-basins that are connected by the Strait of Tiquina which is 800 m across at the narrowest point. The larger sub-basin, Lago Grande (also called Lago Chucuito) has a mean depth of 135 m and a maximum depth of 284 m. The smaller sub-basin, Wiñaymarka (also called Lago Pequeño, "little lake") has a mean depth of 9 m and a maximum depth of 40 m. The overall average depth of the lake is 107 m.
Lake Titicaca is fed by rainfall and meltwater from glaciers on the sierras that abut the Altiplano. Five major river systems feed into Lake Titicaca. In order of their relative flow volumes these are Ramis, Coata, Ilave, Huancané, and Suchez. More than 20 other smaller streams empty into Titicaca, and the lake has 41 islands, some of which are densely populated.
Having only a single season of free circulation, the lake is monomictic, and water passes through Lago Huiñaimarca and flows out the single outlet at the Rio Desaguadero, which then flows south through Bolivia to Lake Poopó. This only accounts for about 10% of the lake's water balance.

More magnificent that one can imagine, the famous lake of Titicaca is an awesome sight: silent, endless, deep, peaceful, quiet, dangerous... Here the view is taken when sailing from the town of Copacabana to the island Isla de Sol.

grumpy old keith!
wins points for his version of "time is tight" and the "godfather" theme. the album was recorded in edgbaston - and is signed on the back by the man and his band.
"Keith Lloyd was a Birmingham based keyboard player who is known to have accompanied many top stars of the day as they made their way through the clubs of the West Midlands. The likes of Bob Monkhouse, Frankie Howard and Les Dawson all used Keith as musical director to their stage shows at some point during the late 1960s and early 1970s and Keith maintained a residency on the Woman Today BBC TV programme.
Unfortunately, apart from the information contained on the sleeve notes to his "This is My Life" album, little else is known about Keith Lloyd and his band, which featured Geoff Cox on drums, Barry Peacock on Bass and Mick Large on guitar. The album was recorded at Zella Studios in Edgbaston in 1974, and released on the label of the same name. This was owned and run throughout the 1960s and 1970s by Johnny Haynes, but alas is no more - Johnny having sold the studio to soft rock behemoths Magnum in the 1980s. During this time local Asian musicians were regular customers at Zella studios, and perhaps hundreds of traditional Asian recordings were produced there.
An early incarnation of Black Sabbath produced a 45 on Zella Records and a large number of aspiring beat combos and hard rock bands of the period are known to have made use of Zella Studios.

Langania village, Tantanua dance (mask dance) and the Sing-sing of the malagan people.
Sing-sing is a gathering of a few tribes or villages in Papua New Guinea. People arrive to show their distinct culture, dance and music. The aim of these gatherings is to peacefully share traditions. Villagers paint and decorate themselves for sing-sings.

Malagan ceremonies are the most large-scale and famous of the many events that take place within the malagan culture. They take place irregularly, and are typically large and complex events, taking several days, and requiring months or years of preparation.
While a malagan ceremony is always held in the name of one or more people who have died in recent years, it is not at all merely a mortuary rite. Many other interactions take place within the overall event, including announcements, repayment of debts, recognition of obligations, resolution of disputes, and many other customary activities.
Malagan carvings
Malagan carvings, now world-famous, are the wooden carvings which are created for use in malagan ceremonies. Traditionally these were burnt at the conclusion of the event; in modern times most are now retained, as the carving tradition is now only known by a few.

Ever since I was young, I've had a very special bond with my Grandpa Al. We decided when I was in my early teens that we were soul mates. Not in the way you traditionally understand that term, but in a way that we both understood. We've always been able to tap into each other's spirits in a way nobody else can. In many ways, I am just like my grandpa. I love to tell stories, and often times I run off on tangents that take longer than the original story itself ever would have taken to tell. I don't like people to rush me to my point. I'm proud. I'm passionate. I wear my heart on my sleeve. And it doesn't take much to make me tear up and get emotional. These are all traits I believe I've inherited from my grandpa.
Every year for probably the last twenty years, my grandpa writes me a special note for my birthday. He always includes some bits of wisdom. Perhaps a poem he wrote, perhaps the words of another poet. But he never ceases to pass along some idea to me that he believes (and rightly so) will help to shape me into a stronger, warmer, better woman. And every year I've tucked those notes away for safe keeping. I pull them out occasionally, and invariably wind up tearing up as I read them. But there are a few quotes that have stuck with me so firmly that I need not pull out the letters to be reminded of their sentiment. The title to this photo is an excerpt from a poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox that my grandpa included in a letter to me during my junior year of college. It pops into my head at the most obscure times and fills me with warmth, love and comfort.
I can't think of anyone besides my parents who has influenced me in the way that my grandpa has. I hope that I have become the woman he always believed I would be. My gut tells me that I still have a ways to go. I'm sure my grandpa will weigh in on this at our 4th of July barbeque this year.
One Ship Sails East
One ship sails East,
And another West,
By the self-same winds that blow,
'Tis the set of the sails
And not the gales,
That tells the way we go.
Like the winds of the sea
Are the waves of time,
As we journey along through life,
'Tis the set of the soul,
That determines the goal,
And not the calm or the strife.

A few furnitures got inspired by two MOCs, both built by BrickDesigned, on Instagram. Even if the furnitures aren't exactly the same, it's actually very similar from the original MOCs, enough to be mentioned.
-The table, the teapot and the coat rack are from this MOC (No name).
-The cupboard is from this MOC (No name)

Avi - Papua New Guinea -
Bezoek bij een familie gekleed in de traditionele kledij van de Chimbu-stam. Hun hoofdversiering met prachtige veren zijn heel belangrijk. Het zijn de veren van papegaaien, paradijsvogels en andere siervogels... soms kan je de mooie paradijsvogeltjes met hun unieke veren op hun geheel nog zien als hoofdtooi. De veren worden generaties na elkaar goed bewaard, zo dat er niet telkens voor een feest ettelijke vogeltjes moeten sneuvelen... Ook de schelpen, het vroegere betaalmiddel (shell money), zijn een teken van welstand.

In this series I want to bring light to the forgotten.
Today in society we put so much worth on the objects that we all own. Who owns the most valuable objects? Objects that once had value to us, at times, end up in the corner collecting dust. Others are kept around because the value is more so sentimental. The idea that value comes from the perspective of the owner is an idea I want to bring attention to. Each and every object has a different level of sentimental value to each person. A small trinket could mean nothing to one and everything to another. In this series I want the objects that I have found in these abandoned areas to be hung and illuminated. I want them to have just as much importance as they once had when they had owners. In this series I want to bring light to the forgotten.
Each place I visited had piles of forgotten objects that had once been purchased and used. I decided to hang the objects that I believe to have meant something to someone at some point, whether it be a toy race car, a teddy bear, or a tea strainer, at some point these objects where of some use to someone. By hanging these items in the door ways of each house I am forcing you to see them if you wish to enter, to see what has been forgotten. All of these objects where also in fact left in these doorways so that the next person to visit will also be forced to see what has been left. With the diptychs I show a photo of the objects hung in what is clearly a doorway, then a close up to show the real detail of decay that some of the objects have been through. I found that with different places came different items. On the island of Little Gasparilla I found an abandoned fort that children used to play in, there I chose to hang a chess piece, a buoy, a pair of keys, a conch shell, and a wind chime. These items are so different from the usual house hold items and toys that I found int he rest of the homes. Also the use of a doorway changes, I instead hung them at what I believe to be the entrance to the secret hideaway.
These places all meant something to someone, the things left on the floor, they all were of some sort of value to some human being at some point. The burned charred toys were once shiny and new and enjoyed. The shoe was once keeping someones foot warm, the tools where once used, and the china doll was once displayed. Only to be left behind, I just don't want them to be left with no recognition of what used to be.

Calotropis Gigantea "Crown Flower" (Asclepediaceae)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asclepiadoideae
The first time that you encounter this draught tolerant shrub may be its novel flowers strung into Lei's that are placed around your neck. These floral crowns are composed of 5 downward pointing; twisted petals that mimic a miniature royal crown. Its leaves are light green and fuzzy, with a downy fuzz on the underside. Very hardy low 40's and drought tolerant. Attracts butterflies because it's actually in the milkweed family. Height to 6' and can be pruned to shape. As legend says " Kama the god of love shoots arrows of the crown flower buds into the heart".

Much better seen large!
Pollination is an important step in the reproduction of seed plants: the transfer of pollen grains (male gametes) to the plant carpel, the structure that contains the ovule (female gamete). The receptive part of the carpel is called a stigma in the flowers of angiosperms and a micropyle in gymnosperms. The study of pollination brings together many disciplines, such as botany, horticulture, entomology, and ecology. Pollination is important in horticulture because most plant fruits will not develop if the ovules are not fertilized. The pollination process as interaction between flower and vector was first addressed in the 18th century by Christian Konrad Sprengel.

Yesterday I was a bit sad. Several news on friends too early departed made me think about life in general, my life in particular. So, honoring my friends, in the name of life, I decided to look around. This one I got in Sta Cruz, a very special place where I have written in the past, where I plan to return to go on writing. And photographing. And go on with life. There, somewhere, everywhere. Life is one. One life. Your life. My life. Cheers!
ps: thanks to Raul on the advise about the 105mm lens, it's superb!
Foundation and expansion
After ascending the throne of Cambodia in 1181 A.D., Jayavarman VII embarked on a massive program of construction and public works. Rajavihara ("royal temple"), today known as Ta Prohm ("ancestor Brahma"), was one of the first temples founded pursuant to that program. The stele commemorating the foundation gives a date of 1186 A.D.
Jayavarman VII constructed Rajavihara in honor of his family. The temple's main image, representing Prajnaparamita, the personification of wisdom, was modelled on the king's mother. The northern and southern satellite temples in the third enclosure were dedicated to the king's guru and his elder brother respectively. As such, Ta Prohm formed a complementary pair with the temple monastery of Preah Khan, dedicated in 1191 A.D., the main image of which represented the Bodhisattva of compassion Lokesvara and was modelled on the king's father.
The temple's stele records that the site was home to more than 12,500 people (including 18 high priests and 615 dancers), with an additional 80,000 souls in the surrounding villages working to provide services and supplies. The stele also notes that the temple amassed considerable riches, including gold, pearls and silks.Expansions and additions to Ta Prohm continued as late as the rule of Srindravarman at the end of the 13th century.

English & Short Version
Early morning I stood near a plant and tried to nip the flowers for offering them to the lord and I shuddered when I felt that flowers cried in woeful anguish and asked me whether I would murder all of them.
I stood crest-fallen, and in my heart a sensitive thought came, the expression of which formed the gist of this poem.
Few hours we are destined to live come to an end too soon to enjoy the freedom of being in the our mother plant ‘s lap or swinging happily in the air with our mother plant’s support.
When destined hour comes we breath our last uncomplaining and drop dead at our mother's cool feet. Even during our short lives we only spread beautiful scent making everyone happy.
Why Then You Humans Do Not Spare Us ?
Some of us bloom in the night but not fortunate enough to see the light of day.
All of us spread our fragrance all over the place tantalizing
How Merciless arethey those who kill the beauty itself to beautify themselves
by strangling us with silken threads ?
HOW heartless are the women to pierce needles into our hearts lest they may be able to adorn themselves with our broken necks and bleeding
--Karunasri Jandhyala

Hundreds of dogs and puppies, purebred and mixed breeds fill in the cages of shelters nation wide. Pets deserve so much better than what they are given. Although living in cage at an animal shelter is not the worst thing that can happen to this pup, it shouldn't have to even need to be here. If people who bred dogs for the fun of it or the financial gain truly understood what hundreds of homeless but well deserving dogs have to go through, I wonder if they'd stop?
Unless you are breeding for top-quality show/pet animals, breeding should not be taken lightly! There are many things to consider when breeding for the health of the babies and parents. Responsible breeders don't just stick two pure bred dogs together then sell the pups to the first person that wants one. They go through extensive genetics testing to ensure the overall and lifelong health of their puppies. They want their pups to live long and healthy lives. They interview their potential adopters extensively and educate them about the breed. Many will require you sign a contract along with a spay/neuter contract. They consider their pups as part of their family and don't give their dogs away to just any body. They go through this process to prevent their puppies from ever ending up as a homeless pet.
Although this guy found safety at this animal shelter and an adoptive home there are many others that aren't so lucky. Over 300 adoptable yet homeless animals are euthanized weekly in San Antonio, TX alone. Please be a responsible pet owner and help end pet over population one animal at a time- Spay/neuter your pet. Not only does it greatly help with pet over population but it increases your pets health and well being. It reduces risk of cancer, relieves your pet of the urge to breed, reduces aggression tendencies and can help to keep your pet wondering off to find a mate.
An 18th century gargoyle ‘Dinemonyo’ altar table
Estimate: PHP 1,800,000 - 2,000,000
1st half, 18th century
Manila
Balayong wood, engraved metal mounts
84 x 109 x 72 cm (33 x 43 x 28 1/2 in)
Provenance:
Formerly from a prominent family in Manila
Called colloquially as dinemonyo table, it is one of the most elusive pieces of early Hispano-Filipino furniture, considered arguably as the pinnacle object to many serious furniture collectors and connoisseurs. An authentic example with original members is an extremely rare find. The earliest altar tables made by Chinese artisans residing in Batangas were copied from Ming dynasty tables as they both shared the same simplistic, rectilinear profile – a product of pragmatic design and simple joinery based on practical rather than aesthetic considerations. Later on, masks that resemble gargoyles on the knees above the legs and ball-and-claw feet were added as ornamentals. At first commissioned by friars for exclusive use in churches, later emulated by the affluent principalia and ilustrado families on which to display their venerated ivory santos. In other cultures, as from 6th century Japan, roof ornaments made from fired clay, stone, or wood called Onigawara gargoyles have been used in Buddhist temples to stop leaks. In European architecture, medieval cathedrals have had carved grotesque creatures with spouts to redirect water from the roof away from the side of the building to prevent the erosion of the mason work. The gargoyles are supposedly illustrated evil as they are intended to turn away evil and harm. Among the Chinese, guardian lions made of stone were placed in front of imperial palaces and tombs, temples, and government offices as they were believed to have powerful protective benefits.
The rectangular paneled top is enclosed by a frame with ice-plate edge to soften the edges and disguise its thickness. Below are two large drawers fitted with umbrella bosses, ornate protective key plates, and O-ring pulls. Reinforced at the sides by flanges with billowing, cloud-like outlines, so do the aprons that connect the gargoyle or ‘demonyo’ masks on all four corners. These demonyo masks have raised fluted top hair, bulging eyes, prominent nose, mouth agape revealing some teeth and fangs, and scrolling facial hair, striking a menacing and powerful demeanor. The cabriole legs show the delineations of the lion’s lower leg before terminating in deep, highly detailed ball and claw foot grasping a ball, resting on round-edged stretchers surmounted on ogee feet. Assembled using ancient Chinese mortise and tenon (closed and through types), as well as dovetail, the joints remain firm and strong.
Made of highly prized indigenous rosewood known as balayong (Afzelia rhomboidea), it has reddish brown color that tends to darken even more with age and has natural luster. Very difficult to work on due to its durability and interlocking grain. The craftsmanship and condition of this table is comparable to, if not better, than some similar tables kept in museums and top-notch private collections.

Recovery of Liberty Bell 7
One day shy of the 38th anniversary (July 20, 1999), of Mercury 4's suborbital flight, a team led by Curt Newport and financed by the Discovery Channel, Oceaneering International, Inc. lifted the Liberty Bell 7 capsule off the floor of the Atlantic ocean and onto the deck of a recovery ship. The capsule was found after a 14-year effort by Newport and his team at a depth of nearly 15,000 feet (4.5 km), 300 nautical miles (550 km) southeast of Cape Canaveral and was in surprisingly good condition. Some of the interior aluminum panels showed deterioration but some fabric pieces, including Grissom's personal parachute, were perfectly intact. The recovery failed to answer some of the questions surrounding the prematurely blown hatch.
Liberty Bell 7 was recovered exactly 30 years to the day after man first landed on the moon.

A while back I bought an Ansco Pix Panorama camera at a thrift store. It cost me four dollars, and it could be argued that I paid too much for it. It's a pocket-size all-plastic 35mm camera with a 28mm wide-angle plastic lens. On the back it has a note that says "Notify Photofinisher: Develop film and print in panoramic format."
It would be very cool if this camera took panoramic shots by producing really wide negatives, but it doesn't do that; instead, it produces really short negatives. It achieves its panoramic effect by means of a removable insert in that masks the top third and bottom third of each frame, essentially "letterboxing" the negative. So the first thing I did after I discovered the mask insert was remove it. If I want the top third and bottom third of my shot cropped off, I'd rather do that after exposing the frame, thank you very much.
I finally decided to give this camera a try with a roll of Kodak 400TX that had taken a couple of trips through the X-ray scanner airports use on checked baggage. A bit of Googling revealed that the Pix Panoramic has a fixed aperture of f/11 and a fixed shutter speed of 1/125 second, but I didn't give much thought to correct exposure while shooting the roll. I just pointed the camera at stuff and clicked, hoping that luck combined with the magic of stand development would produce a few halfway-decent shots.
And the results were a pleasant surprise. I got more "keeper" shots than I expected, and rest were at least interesting in one way or another. Given its small size and light weight, the Pix may end up being a carry-around-at-all times camera.
Ansco Pix Panorama with "panoramic" mask removed. Kodak 400TX, stand developed in Rodinal 1+100 at 19ºC for 70 minutes.
P.S. The title of this shot has nothing whatsoever to do with the TV show "Mad Men", which I've never seen but have heard good things about.

Burra Goods Shed with damage caused by lack of white ant treatment which has resulted in the decay of timber supports and partial collapse of the building. The Burra Railway Goods Shed was constructed in 1870 of timber and iron using Gospel Oak corrugated iron manufactured in England. Although the shed has been painted silver on the outside, the entire corrugated iron cladding is still the original 1860s Walker's Gospel Oak CGI. In 1870, the goods shed was the site of the luncheon to inaugurate the opening of the Northern Extension Railway to Burra which was attended by 3,000 people. In the 100 years following the opening, the goods shed played a major role in the region's transport system.

111 x 207 x 77 cm (43 1/2 x 81 1/2 x 30 in)
This is one remarkable ‘Mariposa’ sofa. Popular in the latter part of the 19th century, this is a superb and exemplary piece of furniture. The carver placed particular care and attention to the intricacy and details of all the carvings. Rococo elements are juxtaposed with naturalistic elements to create a tapestry of celebration and bounty. The top frame boasts manually twisted stiles, splat links, arms and arm supports. The triple shield-shaped splats have on its rails and crests scrolls, interlacing ribbon, tobacco flowers and leaves (tobacco has always been associated with the province), and on the corners are roosters next to palay grains. Airy solihiya weaving cover the seat, splats and sides, and the apron below has highly detailed scroll design. The hind legs are squared but the front legs are more elaborate cabriole legs with acanthus leaf hock that terminate in ball-and-claw feet.

De Nieuwe Kerk (1649) in Haarlem geldt als een van de meest bijzondere kerkgebouwen die na de reformatie voor de protestantse eredienst zijn gebouwd in de Republiek der Nederlanden. Het strenge, classicistische ontwerp is van Jacob van Campen, die in opdracht van het Haarlemse stadsbestuur een kerkgebouw maakte ter vervanging van de bouwvallige en krappe gotische Sint Annakapel. De toren (1613), opgetrokken in de decoratieve stijl van de Hollandse renaissance door stadsbouwmeester Lieven de Key, moest blijven staan.
The first church in Haarlem specifically built for protestant services replaced the older former St. Anna church on the same location, of which it inherited the tower. This tower is the real eye-catcher of this church. It was designed by town architect Lieven de Key and is in his typical Renaissance style and often considered his best work. The rest of the church is much simpler. Compared to the much more prestigious protestant churches other cities, towns and villages built in the same period it is rather modest, as it is also compared to some of Van Campen's other churches. It's an almost square building of three aisles wide and three traves long. Behind the tower and at the back of the building are rectangular facades which are taller than the actual building. The roof consists of several parts; one saddle roof covers the central aisle, with seperate roofs square on it covering each trave of the side-aisles. Outside are the typical buttresses Van Campen also used on his previous churches. These, and in fact the building as a whole, were meant as a symbolic reference to the temple of Jerusalem, a popular theme in those days when the Dutch protestants often thought of themselves as the new Israel. Apart from these the church shows very little decorations. Despite its modesty, or perhaps even because of it, this church is often considered one of Van Campen's best works.
Van Campen, who had studied in Italy and was influenced by the Renaissance classicism of Andrea Palladio and Vincenzo Scamozzi is crediting with introducing a classical revival style in Dutch Baroque architecture.

Well, I planned on a shot at Hole in the Wall beach based on the moon phase, but conditions skewered that plan.
Walking into the beach I passed a bearded guy who I thought might be Patterson. From his icon photo I expected a tall lanky guy with a camera and a bandana. This guy only had the beard so I thought it probably wasn't him. As it turned out, he spent the evening at the pet rocks so I think it was him.
The tide was so high and the waves were just pummeling the rocks I wanted to climb so I decided to just shoot the waves washing up on the beach. I'd never seen them so far up the beach. Even though conditions were pretty good for photography, I left figuring I had nothing in the camera worth anything. This was the best of the lot, I think. The color was uninspiring so I converted to black and white.

Inclued graph for TGIFramework (Tagged) displaying a hello world template after the second load (the first load fills APC user cache).
Note that inclued looks a little funnier than normal because
1) Inclued has trouble fitting prepend scripts into hierarchy. For some reason it thinks the page page is config.php which is completely bypassed on the second load (the actual page is hello.php).
2) Inclued loses the actual parent when dynamically included stuff is __autoloaded()
3) This isn't exactly Tagged.
Diferences I’ve noticed
1) Tagged doesn't use an auto prepend script (it requires manual prepending),
2) Tagged includes the session_start code on every page that this doesn't
3) Tagged includes diagnostics that this doesn't (yet)
4) Tagged includes UDP based page and event logging that this doesn't
5) An event gets thrown on page creation that will trigger the output caching listeners (not yet ported).
All are mostly related to backward compatibility or portability issues.
Still even with the session_start making a remote call to memcache on every request, I still noticed that siegeing Tagged's hello world outperforms CodeIgniter (one of the faster frameworks out there). Why?
1) The load-on-demand design is optimized for this task (the less it does, the less framework is needed)
2) Tagged is designed around portability but not independence, certain optimizations and features are assumed to exist and the codebase takes advantage of them
3) Tagged engineers all know PHP, so a larger templating abstraction is unnecessary (we're using Savant3, probably don't even need that).
4) Performance is a primary consideration for Tagged since the site activity is so busy (the API layer alone needs to handle 5000 transactions a second). This minimal abstraction is most performant for minimal code via iteration.
5) Output caching is unnecessary for dynamically generated static content. In that event, things are created into the web hierarchy and headers are sent to allow edge caching of this content. (This is not tested with that assumption, but the point is a lot of extra code doesn't need to get written in a lot of places because operational design solve that.)
6) To call this a framework is generous. :-)
In any case, compare with other frameworks (note not all these are graphs of hello world, some seem to be graphs of the default page or a typical installation…weird). The default graph for comparison.

La Catedral de Morelia es un recinto religioso sede de la Arquidiócesis de Morelia de la Iglesia católica en México. Se encuentra ubicada como su nombre propiamente lo dice en la ciudad de Morelia, capital del estado de Michoacán, México. La catedral se localiza en el primer cuadro de la ciudad, conformando la traza del Centro Histórico de Morelia. El edificio fue construido en el siglo XVIII en la época de la Colonia Española, es de estilo barroco y esta realizado en cantera rosada que le da un color peculiar y característico.
# Arquitectónicamente la Catedral de Morelia comparándose con otras Catedrales de México, es similar a la Catedral Metropolitana de la Ciudad de México, Catedral de Puebla, e inclusive en su interior a la Catedral de Guadalajara.
# La catedral es la edificación más emblemática y representativa de Morelia dada su altura, ya que cuenta con dos altas torres, que se divisan por todo el valle de la ciudad. Por su altura, las torres de la Catedral de Morelia (66.8 m) son las cuartas más altas de México, después de las torres del Santuario Guadalupano (Catedral Inconclusa) en Zamora de Hidalgo (105 m), de la catedral de Villahermosa (80 m) y del Santuario de Guadalupe, en San Luis Potosí (68 m).
# Cuenta con una Iluminación escénica de singular belleza colocada por la empresa que iluminó la Torre Eiffel de París. Los fines de semana la catedral ofrece un espectáculo de luz y sonido con esta iluminación.
# La catedral está dedicada a la Transfiguración y en su interior alberga dos imágenes muy veneradas, Sagrado Corazón de Jesús que es el santo patrono de la ciudad, y el Señor de la Sacristía un Cristo muy antiguo realizado en pasta de caña de maíz. El cual es muy visitado y querido por la feligresía.
# Su belleza arquitectónica y su historia son otras razones por las cuales se ha convertido en un icono de la ciudad.
# En su interior este recinto dada su belleza, sonorización acústica y espaciosidad, figura como escenario de diversos eventos artísticos y culturales como el Festival Internacional de Órgano de Morelia, y el Festival Internacional de Música de Morelia.
La actual catedral de Morelia no ha sido la única catedral que ha tenido la ciudad, ya que en 1580, cuando los poderes civiles y eclesiásticos de Michoacán fueron trasladados de Pátzcuaro a Valladolid (anterior nombre de Morelia), se inauguró una catedral, muy inferior a la actual en tamaño y valor artístico. Esa construcción se ubicaba en la esquina de las actuales calles de Corregidora y Abasolo. Sin embargo, debido al crecimiento que experimentó la ciudad a finales del s. XVI e inicios del XVII, así como por causa de un incendio que en 1584 afectó severamente el anterior edificio catedralicio, se hizo necesario pensar en otro templo, más grande, sólido e importante. Por ello es que a inicios del s. XVII el cabildo catedralicio comenzó las gestiones para la construcción de la nueva catedral.
Muchos proyectos fueron propuestos, pero hasta mediados de ese siglo fue aceptado el proyecto del arquitecto italiano Vicenzo Barrochio, también conocido como Vicente Barroso de la Escayola por parte del Virrey Francisco Fernández de la Cueva, Duque de Alburquerque el 22 de marzo de 1660 concluyendo continuos trámites y proyectos de construcción durante un largo período de casi 80 años.
El día 6 de mayo de 1660 la primera piedra de la construcción fue colocada por el obispo Fray Marcos Ramírez del Prado. La construcción estuvo a cargo del propio Vicenzo Barrochio hasta el año de su muerte, acaecida en 1692, razón por la cual el gran arquitecto no pudo ver concluida su obra monumental. Sin embargo, solo 52 años después del deceso del maestro, sus discípulos lograron terminar la titánica tarea arquitectónica, por lo que la magnífica obra fue concluida en 1744.
La catedral sufrió diversos saqueos por parte del ejército independentista, en el año de 1810. Hacia fines del siglo XIX se construyó la reja perimetral que delimita el atrio. A finales de los años 90 del siglo XX se efectuaron diversas obras de restauración exteriores e interiores, con lo cual se preservó mejor la belleza del edificio. También, en los primeros años del siglo XXI, se inauguró la nueva iluminación escénica de esta catedral de Morelia.
The Cathedral of Morelia is a religious compound headquarters of the Archdiocese of Morelia of the Catholic Church in Mexico. It is located as the name itself says it in the city of Morelia, capital of Michoacan, Mexico. The cathedral is located on the first frame of the city, forming the trace of the Historic Center of Morelia. The building was built in the eighteenth century the Spanish colonial times, is in Baroque style and is made of pink quarry which gives it a distinctive and characteristic color.
# Architecturally, the Cathedral of Morelia compared against other Cathedrals in Mexico is similar to the Metropolitan Cathedral in Mexico City, Puebla Cathedral, and even inside the Cathedral of Guadalajara.
# The cathedral is the most emblematic and representative buildings of Morelia given their height, since it has two tall towers that can be seen throughout the valley of the city. For his height, the towers of the Catedral de Morelia (66.8 m) are the fourth highest in Mexico after the towers of the Sanctuary of Guadalupe (Cathedral Unfinished) in Zamora de Hidalgo (105 m) of the cathedral in Villahermosa (80 m) and the Sanctuary of Guadalupe, San Luis Potosi (68 m).
# Has a unique scenic beauty lighting placed by the company that lit the Eiffel Tower in Paris. On weekends, the cathedral offers a sound and light show with this lighting.
# The cathedral is dedicated to the Transfiguration and its interior houses two highly venerated image, Sacred Heart of Jesus who is the patron saint of the city, and the Lord of the Sacristy a Christ very old paste made of cornstalks. Which is much visited and loved by the congregation.
# Its beautiful architecture and history are other reasons why it has become an icon of the city.
# Inside this enclosure because of its beauty, sound and spacious sound, set for a variety of artistic and cultural events as the International Organ Festival in Morelia, and the International Music Festival of Morelia.
The current cathedral of Morelia was not the only cathedral in the city has had since 1580, when civil and ecclesiastical powers were transferred from Patzcuaro Michoacan to Valladolid (Morelia previous name), opened a cathedral, much lower the current size and artistic value. That building was located on the corner of the present streets of Corregidor and Abasolo. However, due to growth experienced by the city at the end of s. Sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, and because of a fire in 1584 severely affected the former cathedral building, it became necessary to think of another temple, larger, robust and important. That is why at the beginning of s. XVII the cathedral chapter began efforts to build the new cathedral.
Many projects were proposed, but until mid-century the project was accepted by the Italian architect Vincenzo Barrochio, also known as the Plaster Vicente Barroso by the Viceroy Francisco Fernandez de la Cueva, Duke of Albuquerque on March 22, 1660 concluding continuous procedures and construction projects over a long period of almost 80 years.
On May 6, 1660 the first stone of the building was laid by Bishop Fray Marcos Ramírez del Prado. The building itself was given by Vicenzo Barrochio until his death in 1692, why the great architect could not see completed his monumental work. However, only 52 years after the death of the teacher, his pupils got through the daunting task of architecture, so that the magnificent work was completed in 1744.
The cathedral suffered several raids by the army for independence, in the year 1810. By the end of the nineteenth century built the perimeter fence that marks the atrium. In the late 90s of the twentieth century restoration work carried out various internal and external, thereby better preserved the beauty of the building. Also, in the early twenty-first century, opened the new stage lighting of the cathedral of Morelia.

The Roseneath Carousel is a phenomenal historical attraction! Built in 1906 in Abilene, Kansas by C. W. Parker, the carousel boasts 40 basswood horses, three abreast, and 2 boats.
A 1934 Wurlitzer 125 Military Band organ, complete with paper rolls, ushers out the nostalgic music.
After the Carousel left the Parker plant, gaps appear in its history. Eventually it surfaced at Mohawk Park in Brantford, Ontario, where directors of the Roseneath Agricultural Society found and purchased the machine for $675.00 in 1932.
The Carousel Restoration committee formed in 1986 and began a massive $400,000.00 fundraising campaign to restore the relic to its original condition.
July 17, 1993 the museum quality, rideable carousel re-opened in its sixteen - sided building (which had been constructed around the carousel upon relocation to the Roseneath fairgrounds in 1932).
In 1998, significant repairs were needed for this protective building. $25,000.00 installed a new foundation, cement flooring and new exterior boarding replacing those destroyed by age.
Fundraising continues and so does the fun! Renovations are still required to make the building climate-controlled to protect the restored Carousel. Your donation will assist us in our efforts to preserve and operate the Carousel a precious reminder of our roots in rural Ontario).
As you ride the Roseneath Carousel, round and round, close your eyes and revel in a timeless musical journey through history!

Der Blaue Pfau (Pavo cristatus) ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Fasanenartigen (Phasianidae). Er gehört somit zur Ordnung der Hühnervögel, wobei der Blaue Pfau neben dem Fasan und dem Haushuhn der bekannteste Vertreter dieser Vogelgruppe ist.
Aufgrund ihres auffälligen Aussehens gelten vor allem die Männchen als die ältesten Ziervögel der Menschen. Bereits in den Sagen der griechischen Antike wurden sie erwähnt. Als standorttreue Vögel werden die ursprünglich in Indien und Sri Lanka beheimateten Tiere heute weltweit auch als Haustiere gehalten.

Mrs Mail and I walked through here on Sunday and the sunny winter weather was beautiful so we plonked down for a while and didn't really want to get up again.
I have tried to find out what is the meaning of this sign gouged into the contrete terrace, but to no avail.
Many people confuse CONCRETE with cement. This is concrete, and cement is a component part of concrete.

Provenance:
From the heirs of Don Vedasto Cadeliña, former mayor of Lucban, Tayabas (now Quezon province)
The Illustrious Cadeliña – Veluz family of Lucban
Don Vedasto Cadeliña was born in 1873 in Lucban, Tayabas (now Quezon province) to Don Iñigo Cadeliña and Hermogena Villaseñor. He was a pharmacist and served as mayor (gobernadorcillo) of Lucban town for two terms – from 1905 to 1908 and from 1917 to 1922. As mayor, he led the construction of the Apolinario dela Cruz Waterworks System and the concrete Kamatian Bridge. He was married to Pacencia Sanchez and had three children: Vicenta Cadeliña who married Dr. Dominador Veluz; Imelda Cadeliña who died young and did not have family; and Jose H.N. Cadeliña who married Magdalena Saliendra but died at the age of 26 in 1934. During Don Vedasto’s first tenure as mayor, Manuel L. Quezon was governor of Tayabas province from 1906 to 1907. A good friend and confidant of Don Vedasto, Quezon, who would later become President of the Philippine Commonwealth, and his wife Aurora were regular visitors to the Cadeliña house, which was built in the 1880s. In numerous occasions when they needed to spend the night in Lucban on official visits, the couple would always be allocated the master's bedroom to stay in. The same bed, aparador, and armchair that the Quezon couple used have remained in that bedroom until recently.
Don Vedasto was known to be passionately nationalistic and was an advocate of Dr. Jose Rizal to be proclaimed as National Hero by the then new American colonial government - an honor that was eventually granted in 1901 by Governor General William Howard Taft. Indeed, Don Vedasto’s admiration for Rizal was such that his only son born in 1908 was named Jose. Interestingly, underscoring the abiding Rizalian interest of the family, Don Vedasto's cousin, Ysmael Villaseñor, participated in a competition that attracted Filipino and European sculptors to build the monument to Rizal which was to be erected in Manila. His bozeto or scale model was among the 40 finalists, but failed to win the contest. In the end he built a Rizal monument in front of the Lucban municipio which was just a stone’s throw away from Don Vedasto’s house. Many regard this monument as the best Rizal monument anywhere in the world.
Don Vedasto’s erudite interests and love for excellent local craftsmanship and aesthetics, unwavering admiration for Rizal, and inherent mindfulness of the welfare of his family were reflected in the design of the furniture pieces contained in his household. He died in 1934.
Salcedo Auctions proudly offers from the estate of Don Vedasto Cadeliña this selection of four specially commissioned pieces steeped in history and tradition, each with unique design elements while sharing between them such commonalities as materials used and design motifs that collectively complement each other, thus comprising one remarkable collection.
King Charles or Carlos III chairs, named after the Spanish king who reigned in the mid to late 18th century, traditionally have tall vertical backs, carved stiles capped by finials, majestic crest, lions decorating the arms and feet, and upholstered back and seat. The misnomered Carlos XIII or Carlos Trece chairs widely known in the Philippines were inspired by these royal chairs, but reinterpreted in a more restrained Neoclassical style that is more suitable to the local aesthetics and climate.
This armchair, previously in the master bedroom, has a foliated scroll crest centering a sunflower (the same motif found in the bed’s headboard), round stiles with turned rings topped by finials, undulating arms, and round tapering legs with ball and ring turnings, connected by X-stretcher. The seat and double-sided back are woven tightly with cane or solihiya. In well-kept condition, the beautiful grain and marbling effect color of tiger kamagong wood have remained shiny and unadulterated.
