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.

Have a wonderful weekend, girls and boys !!
Thank you for all your visits, comments, favs and your friendship !!
El Santuario de Nuestra Señora del Rocío, conocido popularmente como la ermita del Rocío, es un templo situado en la aldea de El Rocío, Almonte (Huelva). En ella se celebra anualmente la famosa Romería de El Rocío (en la que se venera a la Virgen del Rocío), y que en la actualidad congrega a más de un millón de personas. El proyecto del actual Santuario se debe a los arquitectos Antonio Delgado y Roig y Alberto Balbontín de Orta, realizado hacia 1960.
Dentro de la Santuario se halla la Virgen del Rocío, una pequeña talla muy venerada. Su popularidad es grande en todo el mundo, ya que su veneración ha dado lugar a la segunda romería más importante de España, que en la actualidad congrega cada año a más de un millón de personas.
La primera referencia a un lugar de culto mariano en la zona, data de la primera mitad del siglo XIV y se halla en el Libro de la montería de Alfonso XI, en que se alude a una «ermita de Santa María de las Rocinas». En 1587 Baltasar Tercero Ruiz funda en la ermita una capellanía.
Aquella primera ermita duró hasta el terremoto de Lisboa, en 1755, que la dejó en ruinas. La Virgen del Rocío fue llevada a Almonte y estuvo allí durante dos años, celebrándose allí la Romería del Rocío en el pueblo almonteño. Las reformas de la ermita acabaron en el año 1758.
En 1961, el Cabildo de la Hermandad Matriz de Almonte -presidida por Antonio Millán Pérez- decidió levantar un nuevo santuario, que recibió el impulso del primer obispo de Huelva, monseñor Pedro Cantero Cuadrado, quien colocó la primera piedra el 26 de enero de 1964. Fue proyectada por los arquitectos Alberto Balbontín Orta y Antonio Delgado Roig con planta de cruz latina, tres naves, un triforio y al fondo, la capilla mayor. La ermita fue bendecida el 12 de abril de 1969 por el entonces obispo de Huelva, monseñor José García Lahiguera, y el domingo 13 de abril, la Virgen del Rocío entró por primera vez en su nuevo templo. En el año 2012, la ermita del Rocío se vinculó a la Basílica de Santa María la Mayor de Roma pasando a denominarse Santuario.

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 old Bombo Quarry is located near Kiama, NSW. The quarry which closed over 70 years ago has left some unusual basalt columns. They are amazing to see. It is a very popular spot with photographers.

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

The birds seem to like this branch & use it as a stopping off point on their way to the feeding station !
Taken at RSPB Titchwell.
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.
Taken in Norfolk.
This churchyard overlooks the river Thames. And it's a popular place for birds of all kinds. HFF

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 ;)
Pulau Ubin is a popular day tripper location for many local Singaporeans & even tourists for those seeking an escape from the fast pace of life in the mainland.
Beneath this popular side lies another side of Ubin that is not often seen, hidden or overlooked. One where history is waiting to be uncovered!

The sparrows have been going crazy lately at the bird bath, which needs to be refilled regularly! But with the cool nights and autumn upon us, it will soon enough have to be shut down for the season.
