There’s a party for every taste in Portugal. Almost every town has a saint day feast or a harvest festival, which can range from a stately procession to a multiday food and entertainment.
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a yellow day at Color my World Daily and at some point in time I will have to start to celebrate fall… So lets start with today’s picture. If you are wondering what my title means : kasztany is chestnuts in Polish. During my childhood it was very popular in Poland to collect chestnuts and making figurines with them. We had such great time playing with our chestnuts people or animals. Few years ago I tried to show this awesome activity to my sons but frankly they had no interest at all in chestnuts. The older one tried to eat the raw chestnut and the longer one was afraid to touch the chestnut since it was on the ground and « dirty » (yes he was already a germaphobe, and it doesn’t come from my side !!). The chestnuts activity was disaster. This week I found this huge chestnut near my house and I couldn’t resist ! I feel a little bit like this old man on the top: slightly outdated while playing with chestnuts…
See you later my friends ! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
La Alameda de Cervantes, conocida popularmente como "La Dehesa", es el jardín por excelencia de la ciudad de Soria (Castilla y León, España), no solo por su ubicación en el mismo centro de la ciudad, donde conviven cientos y cientos de especies de vegetación, sino por su alto valor cultural y paisajístico. Además, es uno de los jardines públicos más antiguos de España y de Europa.
The Château d'Azay-le-Rideau (pronounced [azɛ lə ʁido]) is located in the town of Azay-le-Rideau in the French département of Indre-et-Loire. Built between 1518 and 1527, this château is considered one of the foremost examples of early French renaissance architecture. Set on an island in the middle of the Indre river, this picturesque château has become one of the most popular of the châteaux of the Loire valley.
The Museum of Art and Popular Customs of Sevilla was created in 1972. The museum is dedicated to the ethnological heritage of Andalusia, both material and human. The objects and utensils on display document the customs, wisdom and ways of life of the traditional culture in the area.
It is set in the Mudejar Pavilion designed by architect Aníbal González for the 1929 Spanish-American Exhibition.
Its most important collections are devoted to ceramics, clothing and craft activities in Andalusia. Other important collections include the Aguiar collection of Costumbrist painting, the Soria collection of Oriental ivory and pottery, the Gestoso ceramics collection and, in particular, the Díaz Velázquez collection of lace and embroidery, one of the most important in Europe, the 6,000 items of which could fill a separate, specialist museum on their own. Sevilla's Council has also deposited its collection of original posters for the city's Spring Fair with the museum. Additions over the last decade include the acquisition of the Loty collection, comprising over 2,000 pieces of antique glassware with details of the city and the Andalusian way of life, from the beginning of the 20th century to 1936, two collections of toys and one of over 7,000 postcards.

Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares - Sevilla
El Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares de la ciudad de Sevilla (Andalucía, España) está localizado en la plaza de América del parque de María Luisa. Al otro lado de la plaza se encuentra el Museo Arqueológico. Fue el pabellón de Arte Antiguo de la Exposición Iberoamericana de 1929.
Fue planteado como pabellón de Industrias, Manufacturas y Artes Decorativas. Finalmente, se le llamó pabellón de Arte Antiguo e Industrias Artísticas. Se trata de un edificio proyectado en 1913 y construido en 1914 por el arquitecto Aníbal González, autor también de los otros edificios levantados en la misma plaza de América. Es de ladrillo visto con motivos decorativos de cerámica. Por su estilo arquitectónico, fue conocido como el pabellón Mudéjar.
En principio constaba de dos plantas sobre una cámara de aireación para evitar la humedad. Se realiza una mejora durante la década de 1960 en la planta principal, que tenía más de doce metros de altura, y se dividió con una planta artificial (corresponde a la planta primera) por el arquitecto Antonio Delgado y Roig. En 1972 se unen las plantas con una gran escalera de caracol que diseña el arquitecto José Galnares Sagastizábal, trabajo que realiza después de que la construcción fuese designada para albergar el museo por el Decreto de Creación del Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares de Sevilla, con fecha de 23 de marzo de 1972, constituido como una sección del Museo de Bellas Artes.
Sus funciones como museo se desarrollan desde el 4 de marzo de 1973, fecha en que abre sus puertas al público.

Museum of Arts and Popular Customs of Seville
The Museum of Arts and Popular Customs of Seville (Spanish: Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares) is a museum in Seville, Andalusia, Spain, located in the María Luisa Park, across the Plaza de América from the Provincial Archeological Museum.
The museum occupies the Mudéjar Pavilion (Pabellón Mudéjar) designed by Aníbal González and built in 1914. It served as an art pavilion, the Pabellón de Arte Antiguo, for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929, when Aníbal González had the opportunity to design several additional permanent buildings for the plaza. The exterior is ceramic over brick, and has three doors with archivolts adorned with glazed tiles (azulejos).[citation needed]
The building originally consisted of two stories over an aeration chamber (necessary because of the humidity). In the 1960s, the main floor, originally over 12 metres (39 ft) high, was divided in two, with an intermediate level added by architect Delgado Roig. In 1972, as part of the preparations for the current museum, the various stories of the building were connected by a grand spiral staircase designed by José Galnares Sagastizábal.
The museum was established by a decree of 23 March 1972, initially as a section of the Museum of Fine Arts of Seville. It opened its doors to the public 4 March 1973.[2] For the next seven years, the museum fell under the responsibility of the Ministry of Education and Science, but the city government occupied more than half of the poorly maintained building. Neither institution took full responsibility. This situation led to a series of temporary closures. In 1976, the electric bill could not be paid, and the museum had to be shut until it could get power again. In 1979, heavy rains damaged the interior.

The palafitic pier of Carrasqueira is a masterpiece of popular architecture. Erected in the 50s and 60s, it is unique in Europe and is built on irregularly fragile wooden posts, apparently fragile, that serve as a dock for fishing boats. This structure allows fishermen access to boats, even during low tide. Carrasqueira, Setúbal - Portugal.
The Yonghe Temple Palace of Peace and Harmony, also known as the Yonghe Lamasery, or popularly as the Lama Temple, is a temple and monastery of the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism located on 12 Yonghegong Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing, China. The building and artwork of the temple is a combination of Han Chinese and Tibetan styles. This building is one of the largest Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in China proper. The current abbot is Lama Hu Xuefeng. Building work on the Yonghe Temple started in 1694 during the Qing dynasty on the site where originally stood an official residence for court eunuchs of the Ming dynasty. After the Chinese Civil War ended in 1949, the temple was declared a national monument and closed for the following 32 years. It is said to have survived the Cultural Revolution due to the intervention of Premier Zhou Enlai. Reopened to the public in 1981, it is today both a functioning temple and highly popular tourist attraction in the city. 1681
Eilean Donan Castle is undoubtedly a Scottish icon and certainly one of the most popular tourist attractions in the Highlands. When you see it for the first time, it's easy to see why so many people flock to its sturdy gates year after year. Strategically located on its own little island, overlooking the Isle of Skye, at the meeting point of three great sea lakes, and surrounded by the majestic splendour of the wooded Kintail Mountains, Eilean Donan's setting is truly breathtaking.

The birds seem to like this branch & use it as a stopping off point on their way to the feeding station !

This well worn perch is very popular and I have seen a variety of birds take advantage of it over the years.
I think it may have originally been part of a hide - but the rest of it has long gone.
Here it is the turn of a juvenile male Common Kestrel. Shortly after I took this shot he dropped vertically after some critter scurrying about at the base.

The geography of Cornwall describes the extreme southwestern peninsula of England west of the River Tamar. The population of Cornwall is greater in the less extensive west of the county than the east due to Bodmin Moor's location; however the larger part of the population live in rural areas. It is the only county in England bordered by only one other county, Devon, and is the 9th largest county by area, encompassing 3,563 km² (1,376 mi²). The length of the coast is large in proportion to the area of the county. Cornwall is exposed to the full force of the prevailing south-westerly winds that blow in from the Atlantic Ocean. To the north is the Celtic Sea, and to the south the English Channel.
Cornwall is the location of Great Britain's most southerly point, The Lizard, and the southern mainland's most westerly point, Land's End. A few miles further west are the Isles of Scilly.

I've been putting up quite a few river, stream, and waterfall shots lately. So, I decided I should add this different kind of river.
This is a shot from the ever popular 12th Ave bridge in Seattle. I normally shoot from further over, but scooted over to get the oncoming I-90 traffic as well. I kinda like this new view. Well, new to me. I'm sure it's still been done a million times. :)
Lots of birds at the local restaurant today! I need to admit that the photo is a series of 5-6 shots (through a dirty kitchen window) and a few birds have been copied in ;)
This churchyard overlooks the river Thames. And it's a popular place for birds of all kinds. HFF

En la ciudad de Sevilla, el Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares de Sevilla, creado en 1972, es un museo dedicado al patrimonio etnológico andaluz, tanto material como inmaterial, en cuyas salas se exponen objetos y utensilios que documentan las costumbres, saberes y maneras de vivir propias de la cultura tradicional de la zona.
Está instalado en el Pabellón Mudéjar, un edificio diseñado por el arquitecto Aníbal González para la Exposición Iberoamericana de 1929.
Sus colecciones más importantes son las de cerámica, indumentaria y actividades artesanales de Andalucía. Asimismo destacan la colección Aguiar de pintura costumbrista, la colección Soria de lozas y marfiles orientales, la de cerámica de la colección Gestoso y, sobre todo, la colección Díaz Velázquez de encajes y bordados, una de las más importantes de Europa y que por sí misma podría constituir un museo monográfico independiente, con sus casi 6.000 piezas. Por otra parte, el Ayuntamiento de Sevilla tiene depositada en el museo su colección de originales de carteles de las fiestas primaverales de Sevilla. Entre las incorporaciones de la última década destacan la adquisición de la colección Loty, formada por más de 2.000 placas de cristal antiguas que recogen detalles de las ciudades y la vida andaluzas desde principios del siglo XX hasta 1936, dos colecciones de juguetes y una de más de 7.000 tarjetas postales.
La planta primera del museo se encuentra temporalmente cerrada por reformas. El nuevo proyecto no sólo se justifica por el envejecimiento natural de la instalación, de 1972, sino porque la concepción museológica ha quedado desfasada con el paso de los años y hoy se requieren nuevas instalaciones que aporten un mayor confort a las personas y una mayor seguridad a las piezas.
En la planta principal o baja del Museo, la sala central está dedicada a exposiciones temporales.
