The Church of the Nativity of Christ in the refectory chambers of the New Jerusalem Monastery was built simultaneously with the three vast chambers themselves in 1686-1692. By order of Princess Tatyana Mikhailovna, who donated money for the construction, each of the three chambers of the refectory served its purpose. Thus, the middle "meal", connected to the Nativity Church, was intended for all pilgrims who arrived at the monastery, the second - for the brethren's meals, and the third, apparently, more ceremonial, "a living room for worldly food of all ranks to people."
The Christmas refectory church was made two-story, with the second floor communicating with the chambers. Its architecture is typical of the late 17th century - in the Moscow Baroque style. The lower floor - the "warm" church - was originally surrounded by an open porch, which in the 18th century was replaced by an arcade that has survived to this day, decorated with classic rustic woodwork and pilasters.
The upper, "summer" church is in two tiers of windows, covered with a closed vault, on which there are two octagonal with a dome. The entire decor of the temple: architraves, columns on the apse, octagons under the cupola, are made in the Moscow Baroque style. Not only the church is decorated in the same way, but all the refectory chambers.
In 1792, a hundred years after its construction, the refectory chambers were badly damaged by a fire in the monastery kitchen. All the chambers were burnt out, and the church utensils were barely saved, while much was still damaged by fire. After renovation, in 1810, a wooden ceiling was made in the upper part of the Nativity Church, supported by two brick pillars. This greatly reduced the space of the large baroque temple and made it much darker. Therefore, already in the 1850s. this "innovation" was removed and the restoration was carried out under the direction of the architect K.A. Ton.
The luxurious tyablo iconostasis of the Nativity Church was burned down in 1922. Museum expositions were housed in the premises of the temple. During the colossal destruction of the monastery by the Nazis in 1941. The Nativity Church was almost not damaged, and during the restoration the original appearance of the interior of the church and the refectory chambers was restored.
In 1995, the Church of the Nativity of Christ was transferred to the newly formed monastic brethren; in 1996, restoration work began there, and in 1997 the church was re-consecrated.
Now the temple is a very interesting picture - it is practically side by side adjacent to the museum remaining in the refectory chambers, and the visitor may well seem at first to be an exhibition hall as well. Only by looking more attentively, one can notice that there is no longer museum life going on here.
The Kirchdorf high-rise is a 52-metre-high building with 16 storeys, built in 1955 by order of Hans Liebherr for employees of the Liebherr company. Located opposite the Liebherr-Hydraulikbagger GmbH premises in Kirchdorf on the Iller in Upper Swabia, The high-rise building is regarded in the town as a sign of the economic upswing in the area after the Second World War, which is associated with the name Liebherr and the invention of the tower crane. Following its renovation at the beginning of the third millennium, it has become the town's landmark.
The high-rise building is located near Liebherrstraße at the confluence of Heimstraße and Hochhausstraße, named after the high-rise building, opposite Kirchdorf Bürgerpark. With its 16 floors, it is the highest building in the community and was the highest building in the district of Biberach at the time of its construction. It is the only high-rise building in a village community in the district of Biberach. The facade of the high-rise building is painted in yellow and white.

Ponte Vecchio, Florence, Italy (pre-dawn blue hour)
The Ponte Vecchio ("Old Bridge") is a medieval stone closed-spandrel segmental arch bridge over the Arno River, in Florence, Italy, noted for still having shops built along it, as was once common. Butchers initially occupied the shops; the present tenants are jewelers, art dealers and souvenir sellers.
The bridge spans the Arno at its narrowest point where it is believed that a bridge was first built in Roman times. The Roman piers were of stone, the superstructure of wood. After being destroyed by a flood in 1117, it was reconstructed in stone but swept away again in 1333. It was rebuilt in 1345.
The bridge has always hosted shops and merchants who displayed their goods on tables before their premises, after authorization of the Bargello (a sort of a lord mayor, a magistrate and a police authority). The back shops (retrobotteghe) that may be seen from upriver, were added in the seventeenth century.
It is said that the economic concept of bankruptcy originated here: when a money-changer could not pay his debts, the table on which he sold his wares (the "banco") was physically broken ("rotto") by soldiers, and this practice was called "bancorotto" (broken table; possibly it can come from "banca rotta" which means "broken bank"). Not having a table anymore, the merchant was not able to sell anything and went bankrupt.

Honkan (本館, main building) in the right was built during the Edo period before Meiji Restoration in 1868, Kura (蔵, treasury) in the left was built in 1885, and the buildings in the back in 1914,
The main building was originally built for Touji (湯治), a traditional form of tourism for therapeutic bathing to improve health and/or to cure disease and injury. Guests cooked foods for themselves and stayed for weeks at the spa. Therefore a communal self-catering kitchen is still attached to the establishment.
Touji had been a popular leisure activity rivalling pilgrimage before modern tourism was introduced after Meiji Restoration.

In the early days Veere was a flourishing commercial city. This prosperity can be found in the beautiful historical premises. The town of Veere arose in the twelfth century. The following centuries the town was being used to store Scottish wool. Veere still has these typical Scottish homes, which were built in the sixteenth century by rich Scottish merchants. At the Kaai in Veere, two of these Scottish houses still stand, and they remind people of the wool trade back in those days. Antique collections of the last private owners are among the things which can be admired here. Also fans of porcelain, furniture, style rooms and stitch costumes have much to look at. In the Scottish houses you can regularly go to see different expositions of the artists from Veere.

The big church is from 1348 and it is a really great sight. As from 1811 the church was being used by Napoleon’s soldiers as a military hospital; the church was a beggars house and a barrack for a while as well. You can still clearly see the traces of an eventful past.
Another photo taken in the premises of Yamada Ryokan.
The building in the right is called Nagaya (長屋) that is an Edo period construction. The building in the centre is Yudono (湯殿) that houses a hotspring bath, and the three -story building is called Shinkan (新館, new wing) for guest rooms although it is old enough. The two were constructed in 1914 during the Taishou era (大正時代 1907-1926). These three architectures are listed as Registered Tangible Cultural Heritage.
They are traditional structures supported by wooden pillars and beams, which allow installing plenty of glass windows.
In my opinion, this is architecturally the best part of the Japanese inn.
The building behind Shinkan is Bekkan (別館, annex) that is a reinforced concrete structure built in late 20th century. It may be comfortable to stay but is less attractive for photo shooting.

Once the weather becomes warmer, the Western Boxelder bugs leave the warmth of our houses and start exploring the great outdoors. Even though I appreciate knowing who or what is sharing my abode, I do appreciate that they vacate the premises for awhile. ;) There's great information to be found here...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxelder_bug
It relates to 18th Century. As of the time of transfer to the museum, the house was the oldest in the village and belonged to Oros family. The house has two premises: house and mudroom. It is one of the most ancient types of house planning in Zakarpattia. Walls of the house are constructed with wide oak cut blocks. Its high four-sloping roof is covered with straw.
This house is the oldest Zakarpattia house in our museum. It displays specific features of national building in valley of Tereblia-river and the middle reaches of Tysa River. The house’s area is 35.4 square meters.
Look at the exterior of the hut:

Private premises of
Lord Aberconwy.
Bodnant Garden is a National Trust property near Tal-y-Cafn, Conwy, Wales, overlooking the Conwy Valley towards the Carneddau mountains. Founded in 1874 and developed by five generations of one family, it was given to the National Trust in 1949.
(5/5) Premises by premises, public space by public space, inch by inch we hand over our belongings, our ownership to be treated back to safety and security. We trusted to be treated the way we should. We are trading our lives now. When our quarantines are broken, permissions issued, it is the system that is ready to 'treat' us, us and our diseases, us and our corpses, us and our insurances. Pegs return to stations, ready to turn and let turn.
Interestingly, an equality comes with this disease. We all have to line up to get inside the supermarket to get toilet paper or bleach. We all have to buy the unpopular pasta brand now. We all have to report to the young admission desk clerk to walk into the clinic. It is all military and we must be grateful. We certainly don't want to die like those people who are not as fortunate as we are.
What we treasure more, some consciously and some not, is the untouchable world inside, the ocean of consciousness, the land of the truly free. We hide in it, take refuge in it, treasure it.
With the question of how are you doing these days, we take our defenses up. What? Now you need to know what goes inside? "I'm all right. It's a small price to pay."
The fact is it is a huge price to pay. Here in America being was limited by confusion due to an abundance of options and now we are limited by our inabilities or even worse by lack of permissions. We lost permissions and those who do not want it, have to learn how to live without.
Old confusions due to a plethora of options are gone. Old choices are gone, old options, old confusions. We are limited by lacks, lack of permissions.
Now confusion belongs to those who push the limits without permissions or beyond permissions. Confusion belongs to those trying to separate themselves from collective security that government aparatus promises with no guarantee.
Located at the corner of O’Connell Street and Abbey Street, the Grand Central Café Bar is located in a genuinely grand central site, but doesn’t have a long history. It links what were two premises, 10 and 11 O’Connell Street, which have been a single building since the Munster and Leinster Bank acquired No 11 in 1926. No 11 was rebuilt by Benjamin Ball in 1824.
The buildings were extensively damaged in the Easter Rising of 1916, primarily by a shell from HMS Helga. No 10 was refurbished as a result in 1917.
The buildings played an interesting rôle during the Easter Rising. They housed at that time the Irish School of Wireless Telegraphy. With all telephone lines in and out of the city cut by the British authorities, on the second day of the Rising, 25 April 1916, the rebels sent the following message in Morse code thanks to one of their number, David Bourke, who was proficient in the art of telegraphy: “Irish Republic declared in Dublin today. Irish troops have captured city and are in full possession. Enemy cannot move in city. The whole country rising.”
Ships did receive the message and relayed it to the international press, although three days later the Rising would be crushed.

ROE DEER (CAPREOLUS CAPREOLUS) | ADULT MALE | 05-2023 | TICINO | SWITZERLAND
VIDEO of the deer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3GFWK6hGYc&t=1s
My best photos are here: www.lacerta-bilineata.com/ticino-best-photos-of-southern-...
And in case you're interested, the black-and-white version of this photo is here: www.lacerta-bilineata.com/ticino-best-photos-of-southern-...
THE STORY BEHIND THE PHOTO:
When I decided a couple of years ago that my nature photography would be focusing only on what I was able to capture from within my garden or its immediate surroundings, I was aware I would likely never be able to shoot anything bigger than insects and reptiles, and perhaps - if I got lucky - birds.
You can find the reasoning behind my admittedly very limiting approach to photography here in case you're interested www.flickr.com/photos/191055893@N07/52278144284/in/datepo... ; I'm only bringing it up again because due to this self-imposed "strictly-garden" rule, a shot like the one above was something I originally never could have hoped for.
I captured this roe buck in May 2023, but unlike with the last photo I posted here, I didn't break my own rule. Nature always surprises me - but I guess I should start at the beginning. As some of you might remember, in spring 2022 I had already had an unexpected encounter with a roe deer, a beautiful female, just outside my garden. This made me realize that against all odds and contrary to what I had believed, bigger forest wildlife occasionally DID venture close enough to my garden for me to photograph it - just never once the sun was up and human activity in the village had started.
I was able to capture lady roe deer with my camera the following day from within my premises, but due to the low light conditions and high ISO required, the resulting image was so grainy it looked more like a Van Gogh painting than a photo, and so I opted for black-and-white: www.flickr.com/photos/191055893@N07/52441239338/in/datepo...
My doe-eyed neighbor subsequently returned on several occasions, always in the early hours, though she would inevitably retreat back into the forest as soon as sunrise approached, and I was never able to get a daylight shot. That was fine though; I was over the moon that I had gotten a photo of this beautiful animal at all, because that was already more than I ever expected.
Cut to spring last year, when my whole vacation went down the drain - quite literally - because it drowned in a seemingly never-ending downpour of rain. The entire month of May was cold, damp, dark and miserable, and the only cheerful thing about it was the sign attached to Heaven's floodgates: "YES, WE'RE OPEN: ALL DAY, EVERY DAY!" 😄
I rarely left the house, but one time when I briefly did go out around noon to inspect how much damage the constant downpour had caused to the terrain around my vacation home, I was greeted by a wonderful surprise: an impressive, almost regal looking roe buck was grazing peacefully in the meadow just below my garden.
"Of course!" I thought, mentally face-palming myself for not realizing sooner what should have been obvious to a country bumpkin like me from the beginning: the constant rainfall may have been a nuisance to us people, but precisely because it kept humans in, the animals of the forest dared to come out.
In such damp conditions, with no two-legged creatures around threatening them, the wildlife of the nearby woods enjoyed the rare privilege of grazing in the open field in broad daylight (well, calling it "broad" might be a bit of a stretch considering the lousy weather, but there WAS daylight alright - at least I could see my hands and it was definitely day 😉 ).
I wondered how many times in the past weeks I would have had the opportunity to finally get a "noise-free" shot of this shy ungulate if only I had remembered that I always used to go out and observe wildlife as a child when the weather was bad. But I certainly wouldn't let THIS chance here pass; carefully, veeeeery slowly I retreated back into the house to get my camera.
When I returned, the roe buck was thankfully still there (I glimpsed him through the bushes in my garden), and so I confidently applied what I consider my greatest (and some might say only 😂) real skill as a nature photographer: the SSA (that's short for "Sneaky-Stealth Approach" in case you wondered😉). I pride myself in having mastered this high art, and now was the moment to put it to use.
Alas, things did not go as planned. Just as I stretched my head out from behind the young ash tree that served as my cover and was about to set one foot into a more stable position (naturally in slow motion - as is protocol for the SSA 😉), Mr. Roe Buck decided to look up - and our eyes met.
Needless to say, we were both not happy. A - very - brief exchange of looks (or rather stares) followed, which I would translate into language thusly:
Roe Buck (startled): "What the -... Why are you out of the house, human? It's raining: this is against the rules!"
Me (pleading): "I'm really sorry. Can't we just pretend you didn't see me so I can photograph you? Please?"
Roe Buck (outraged): "How dare you! This is entirely out of order: I shall report this!"
And with a last clearly disgusted look at the unruly human he took off and darted towards the woods. But just before he reached the forest, he stopped and turned around. For a moment he just stood there in the tall grass, completely still, and looked back at me as if he wanted to make sure he hadn't just seen some ghastly apparition, which allowed me to get the shot you see above.
That moment only lasted a couple of seconds, then Mr. Roe Buck stepped gracefully into the woods and disappeared from my eyes. But he made good on his promise: as soon as he had reached the safety of the dense chestnut forest that surrounds our tiny village he started barking loudly, making sure every inhabitant got the report that a human was lose in the neighborhood.
I was more than satisfied though; the photo you can see here was taken from almost 30 meters away, and even though it lacks any real depth of field and isn't exactly crisp, I love the pose and the eye contact, and I think it conveys quite well what an elegant creature this is.
And I'm happy to report that the roe buck apparently didn't hold a grudge, as he subsequently came back many times (he was - and still is - easily recognizable by his unusual, very distinct almost white "mask").
The meadow below my garden is apparently his "turf", and I've been able to photograph (and film: www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3GFWK6hGYc&t=1s ) him and his most loyal lady friend on many more occasions than I could and frankly WOULD have wished for (because - you guessed it - the weather here has been lousy WAY too often, particularly this year 😂).
Thankfully though, I've gotten better at the SSA, which means that nowadays I manage to observe and photograph these noble creatures discretely enough that they don't have to complain about me to the forest police 😊.
That's all for now; many greetings from Switzerland and have a great start into the new week everyone! And as always: thank you all so much for letting me know what you think in the comments (even though it will take me ages to respond as I haven't even managed to thank everyone who has commented on the last photo - but I promise I will). 🙏 😊 ❤
I succumbed to a moment of nostalgic weakness and perused my archives. Given my complete lack of organizational know-how, matched only by my supreme hoarding skills (this, by the way, is a recipe for disaster), I was pleasantly surprised to find this little gem languishing there. I was even more impressed by the fact that, apparently, I had already done most of the processing on this. I began to ponder what made me abandon those efforts in favour of whatever else I ended up doing. Was it the Instant Pot and my quest for the perfect Hungarian Goulash recipe? Who knows and who really cares. (It did end up tasting delicious, however).
So, I am sharing with you now the female Downy as she does her best Nuthatch impression. Actually, she needs to rotate some more, but not bad for a first try. Just as a point of interest, I am proud to report that no canoe was involved here to move myself into position to obtain the best possible perspective and light on the iris. The reason I mention a canoe is that I have found that some of the best iris shots I have ever seen were taken from the vantage point of a canoe (Jerome). So I did some research and I found that a canoe can indeed be quite instrumental in navigating to the position required for a perfect iris shot. As my mind drifts off to ponder the possibilities of this, I quickly realize that my circumstances up here differ somewhat drastically from Jerome’s . For one thing, there is no bayou in this area and I do appreciate that a canoe is best used on water. Yes, we do have some lakes that might do the job but I don’t think they would really function as adequate stand-ins for the bayou. I would also have to acquire a trailer and permit to transport the canoe but then I’d need some practice backing up with the trailer … the more I contemplate this, the more I discover the difficulties with this plan. Of course, I could just plant the canoe in the yard and use it as a stationary structure to take my shots from. But the sun does travel during the day which would require me to push/pull/drag the canoe to the most advantageous spot, given the time of day. How likely am I to do that? Right, … not! I could invest in multiple canoes and position them strategically in the yard to solve the placement variation quandary. But wait, wait … wait! I realized quickly when I knew I should I already have something that works quite nicely for me without having to invest in a pelican box. Yes, you got it … The Adirondack. Much more easily positioned in my location of choice – I actually have two, which simplifies matters even further. True, it’s not as exotic as a canoe but really we are after results here and not the actual journey. And another benefit is that it’s much easier to sip a Krombacher in the Adirondack and maintain my balance and a semblance of decorum, especially if it’s more than one during the course of the day. And … I don’t have to leave the premises …

Shot around a temple premises in the middle of a forest. The temple rituals involve sacrifices of goats which are then cooked into a meal and distributed to the poor as free food. This happens once a week and the leftover blood attracts several flycatchers.
The Taiga flycatcher is a small flycatcher from Palearctic region that winters in India. They are not easy to sight and harder to id since the Red-Breasted Flycatcher looks very similar except for a few minor differences (like feet color, beak and tail colors). We sighted 2-3 of them and they were quite wary of some monkeys nearby. Monkeys tend to grab birds for food and hence birds fly away quickly.
Thanks in advance for your views, favorites and feedback.

Terrasson-Lavilledieu
L'octroi de Terrasson
Véritable système de douane locale, l'octroi fut une structure particulièrement importante pour les revenus communaux. Il servait notamment à financer l'entretien des fortifications et les travaux d'utilité publique.
Le terme "octroi" vient du verbe octroyer qui signifie accorder: la ville octroie l'entrée des marchandises en échange d'une taxe. Ces taxes, toujours mal acceptées furent supprimées définitivement à la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale. Ce bureau d'octroi servit par la suite de balance officielle à la commune. Elle permettait aux éleveurs et aux agriculteurs de peser et d'officialiser le poids de leur marchandise avant la vente.
Situé près du vieux pont, le local ainsi que son équipement de pesée ont été remis au goût du jour il y a peu.
The Grant of Terrasson
A true local customs system, the appropriation was a particularly important structure for municipal revenues. It was used in particular to finance the maintenance of fortifications and public utility works.
The term "grant" comes from the verb grant which means to grant: the city grants the entry of goods in exchange for a tax. These taxes, always poorly accepted, were definitively abolished at the end of the Second World War. This granting office subsequently served as the municipality's official balance sheet. It allowed breeders and farmers to weigh and formalize the weight of their merchandise before sale.
Located near the old bridge, the premises and its weighing equipment were recently brought up to date.
Un grand merci pour vos favoris, commentaires et encouragements toujours très appréciés.

A Nata mandira (or Nata mandapa) is the dance hall of a Hindu temple. It is one of the buildings of the temple, especially in the Kalinga architecture. The name comes from the sanskrit Nata (=dance) and Mandira (=temple).
The Nata mandira refers to the time of the devadasis tradition when it was prevalent in India. Dancers lived in temple premises solely dedicating their lives to reputed dance forms like Odissi and Bharathanatyam. Though modern times saw the decline of this tradition, the platforms built for performances still stay as major component of the temple architecture.

When visiting an interesting museum, it's all about the external impact, the premises, the artworks, and the visitors.
When you visit a building designed by Richard Meier, you expect white, glass, lots of transparency and brightness, and above all, total aesthetics.
Here, even more so, because he has connected a new building with an old one, a train station no less, and all this in the beautiful setting of the Rhine Valley, in honor of Hans Arp and Sophie Taeuber-Arp... painter, graphic artist, sculptor, poet, and Dadaism, enriched by textile art ...
At first, the image was very dark due to strong backlighting, and the hand looked frightening and eerie. The image editing process was intended to emphasize this... However, I then opted for brightness and more aesthetics, as I often do ...

One of the ex-SD45-2 locos on the Northtown premises goes about its menial, daily task with a row of colorful on-lookers.
The Lazzaretto di Ancona, also known as Mole Vanvitelliana, is a building in Ancona designed by the architect Luigi Vanvitelli. It stands on an artificial pentagonal island located inside the port. It is connected to the mainland by three bridges and occupies an area of 20,000 m². The channel that divides it from the mainland is called mandrač.
Originally it was reached only by boats; the water supply was ensured by an underground network of cisterns. The water was drawn through three wells, located in the small neoclassical temple dedicated to San Rocco (protector from the plague and epidemics), present in the center of the internal courtyard. The temple is open on 5 sides, which allowed people locked in the rooms overlooking the courtyard to attend mass without coming into contact with each other and with the officiant.
The place could accommodate up to 2,000 people, as well as a large amount of goods. In the internal part of the building there are the premises of the Lazzaretto proper, which were intended for quarantine, while the rooms in the external part were used as a warehouse for goods. Towards the open sea, the hospital is equipped with a ravelin, designed for the military defense of the port. So from its origins the work was designed as a multifunctional structure: port warehouse, quarantine place, fortification.

Trent Street in Birmingham's Digbeth area. Small and medium sized industrial and commercial premises make for a very varied landscape, all dominated by the viaduct (seen here) which carries the main line from Birmingham Snow Hill to Leamington Spa. The numerous manufacturies in this area led to Birmingham becoming known as the 'Workshop of the World'.
Running north from Sanganar Gate, in the 'pink city' of Jaipur, lies Johari Bazar.
Wide enough to be an avenue, the southern end closest to Sanganer Gate consisted mainly of vegetable and fruit sellers who occupied the premises there and often took up most of the pavement space in front too. Pedestrians were usually consigned to road and gutters.
While motor vehicle traffic in 1983 was fairly light (mainly Ambassador taxis, tuk-tuks or motor cycles) there was plenty of other traffic in the form of carts, trailers, bikes, etc, with power provided by a combination of camels, horses, oxen or human endeavour. Driving could be haphazard (and it still is), so folk walking in the road were accustomed to staying alert.
Further down Johari Bazar, and towards the heart of the old city, the vegetable and grocery sellers gradually gave way to jewellers and precious metals - something the city has long been known for. Maybe no surprise I found this end of the road rather more appealing back then.

Sunder Nursery, formerly called Azim Bagh or Bagh-e-Azeem, is a 16th-century heritage park complex adjacent to the Humayun's Tomb, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Delhi.
Originally known as Azim Bagh and built by the Mughals in the 16th century, it lies on the Mughal-era Grand Trunk Road, and is spread over 90 acres.
Today Sunder Nursery contains fifteen heritage monuments of which 6 are UNESCO World Heritage sites, including Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), protected Sundarwala Burj, Sundarwala Mahal, and Lakkarwala Burj.
During the British rule, the nursery was established to grow experimental plants, which gave it its current designation as a nursery. The "Sunder" part of the name comes from the Sunder Burj tomb located on the same premises. Although the name Sunder Nursery has still held, the park has been quoted to be a 'Delhi's Central Park' after renovations (though not to be confused with the central park in Connaught Place, New Delhi).
Art Gallery Putti
Gallery is located in the spacious premises in the architectonically historical centre – Vecrīga – in the Art Nouveau building built in 1907 as a dwelling house with a shop on the ground floor, designed by an architect Paul Mandelshtam (1872 – 1941).
All works you see are created by artist Elita Patmalniece.
Elita Patmalniece is a Latvian artist who was born in 1964. .
Elita has created an art space as a dedication to each and every one of us. A work of art that makes you look around, feel the energy, time and the moment that is constantly changing. Visitors of the exhibition can literally enter the world created by Elita, see themselves from several sides as part of the exhibition, be reintroduced with different aspects of their personality. Entering the colourful vortex of life, travelling to the center of it, can lead us to see exactly what is important to each of us at this moment. Surviving, feeling, being grateful for what we have.
