The Plaza de Espana was originally designed and built as the ultimate symbol and the most ambitious project of the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition World’s Fair. The initial idea of holding a World Fair in Seville was promoted in 1909 with the aim of opening the city and, especially, to modernize it. It would be the perfect occasion to achieve civil works, thus improve employment, promote the tourism, enhance the image of Seville and strengthen relationships with American countries.
The Fair was initially going to be inaugurated on April 1st, 1911. It was then delayed to 1914 but World War I (1914-1918) and political issues between Morocco and Spain delayed it further on. It was finally held from May 9th, 1929 to June 21st, 1930.
The works of the Plaza de Espana began in 1914 and where supervised by its creator, the Sevillian architect Aníbal González. He was also the architect chief of the event and designed other buildings such as the Mudejar Pavilion (better known today as the Museo de Artes y Costumbres), the Fine Arts Pavilion (transformed later in the Archaeological Museum) and the Royal Pavilion. All of them can be found in the María Luisa Park, at the America Square (Plaza de América).
It was the most expensive and hard construction of the fair, employing at some point more than 1,000 workers. Obviously, the project went through aesthetical critics and financial difficulties, especially because Seville was in very bad economic shape.
In 1926 Aníbal González resigned from his position and the Plaza de Espana was finished in 1928 by Vicente Taverner, who added the central fountain. It was also the place where Alfonso XIII inaugurated the Fair.

Celebrating Riga’s 825th anniversary, Sarkandaugava will host Street Art Month this summer – a new initiative that will bring contemporary art and urban cultural events to the neighborhood. Nine new murals will be created during the month, and visitors are invited to participate in three diverse events that will bring together artists, researchers, young people and residents of the neighborhood.
The Street Art Month will be opened by the monumental mural “Pārnese” by French street artist Fred Battle in Aleksa Square, Tilta Street 8. It reflects the importance of collective memory in shaping the city’s future. The work focuses on an open-air market, where books, vinyl records, household items and cars from the 1990s become witnesses to everyday cultural heritage. The painting emphasizes sustainability, cultural exchange and the ability of a community to give new meaning to the past, showing that the true heritage of a city lies in people, their memories and mutual relationships. The idea of the work organically resonates with the identity of Sarkandaugava – one of Riga’s oldest industrial districts, where industrial heritage, the port environment and the historical stories of working-class communities intertwine with contemporary street culture. The opening of the new artwork will take place on July 20.
Fred Battle is internationally known for his large-scale public art works and exhibitions in France, Spain, Japan, Canada and the USA. In his works, he explores industrial heritage, material transformations and human relationships with the urban environment, proving that public art can strengthen the identity of a place and promote a dialogue between the past and the future.
Impressive masterpiece by Frank Lloyd Wright. Worth a trip in you find yourself near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They do not allow pictures to be taken from the inside. Which I think is a mistake as I could be out there showing everyone around and promoting it for them. :)

They imagine that one day this war comes to an end, and Yoda promotes all Padawans to Jedi Knights. The Senat involved the Separatists back to the republic and stopped the Corruption, and the Jedis have been peacekeepers again.

Promoted as the William Penn House when it was moved from Letitia Street in Philadelphia to Fairmount Park, this little house was not connected to Penn in any way. They still sold the postcards for 50 years saying the William Penn house but now it's just known as the Letitia Street house. Built in 1713 this poor little thing has since been surrounded by roads and now sits on an inaccessible island with no parking and visiting on foot can be a challenge as well. Every time I've passed it the appearance has changed. It has been cleaned up at least ten times in my lifetime but here as you can see it was boarded up and used for storage by the park service.

~Da Nativity~
A Sheepish Tale of Three Christmases
A Play By: Tania Kiko
oK oK I know I'm a little irrelevant with some of matters of the season.
But never let it be said that I don't love me some "Buddy Christ"!
When I asked my friend and creator of iconic sim and adult playground The Continental sim, if I could help promote the upcoming ~Da Nativity~ she happily agreed to give me access to the venue!
I was given the outline from The Lady Boss Thecla :
"Come witness French Post-Modern theatre gone gonzo biblical. There will be pathos, there will be
fragmented, ironic, subversive, pluralistic, and experimental absurdities. And of course there will be sheep."
I thought....ooooH mY, "SHEEP!" so brought my flock to the party!
As far as my title and song, my 1st thought went right to Zappa and the iconic album "Sheik Yerbouti" And as you guys know I tend to dance in land the tangent weirdness universe!
I thought "I Have Been In You" might be a little over the line of tasteful promotion and I was going to plan B it with "Jesus Christ Superstar". Upon discussion with "The Boss" she insisted I roll with Zappa! It's nice to be apart of the cool Kidds!
So for those of you into a little "Out There" holiday flair this might just be the ticket for you! I hope I can make it myself!
I know I have said this before, but it warrants repeating,
I LOVE SHOOTING ON THE CONTINENTAL!
Thank you Thecla for being the hostess with the mostest!
Peace...I mean BaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaH!
Kidd

i thought i'd get some signs and stuff ready to promote the 'It's yours, take it!' street exhibition for which i'm one of the 'nailers'.
as always i got sidetracked and did some free art too
Born from the bowels of the Free Art Friday Flickr Group, "It's yours, take it!" is a global free art project taking place in 5 cities. Stateside we have Chicago,Illinois, Honolulu,Hawaii and Phoenix, Arizona. Outside the land of consumption is Tel Aviv, Isreal and Portsmouth Hampshire, UK.
38 artists are contributing one piece each to these five locations. In place of curators we have "Nailers"... those that will be putting these pieces up at an impromptu outdoor location. The installations will be put up around the last weekend of March, 2008. Stay tuned for previews of finished pieces and complete photographic coverage!

Sadler’s Wells in Rosebery Avenue, Islington, stands on one of London’s oldest sites continuously associated with theatrical entertainment.
Its unusual name dates back to 1683, when Richard Sadler opened a “Musick House” in the grounds of his property. Shortly afterwards a mineral spring was discovered there and promoted for its supposed medicinal qualities. The combination of Sadler’s name and his newly discovered well gave Sadler’s Wells the name it has retained for more than three centuries.
Successive theatres occupied the site. The second, opened in 1765, developed into an important venue for drama and spectacular entertainments, while the nineteenth-century theatre became particularly associated with Shakespeare under the management of actor Samuel Phelps.
By the early twentieth century the theatre had fallen into decline. Its fortunes were transformed by Lilian Baylis, already celebrated for her work at the Old Vic. She campaigned for a new theatre at Sadler’s Wells, which opened on 6 January 1931.
The 1931 building was designed by F. G. M. Chancellor of Frank Matcham & Co. Chancellor had worked alongside Frank Matcham for many years and became the senior figure in the practice following Matcham’s retirement and subsequent death in 1920. The theatre is therefore properly associated with the Matcham architectural practice, although it was Chancellor — not Frank Matcham himself — who designed the building.
Sadler’s Wells subsequently became particularly important in the development of British ballet. The Vic-Wells Ballet, founded by Ninette de Valois, evolved into what became the Royal Ballet, while Sadler’s Wells also became closely associated with opera before those companies eventually established permanent homes elsewhere.
By the late twentieth century the 1931 theatre was no longer adequate for the technical and artistic demands of a major international dance venue and underwent a comprehensive redevelopment and reconstruction during the 1990s.
Although much of Chancellor’s 1931 theatre was demolished, this was not an entirely blank-slate rebuild. Existing foundations and elements of the brick structural fabric of the earlier theatre were retained and incorporated into the new building, preserving a physical connection between the fifth and sixth Sadler’s Wells theatres.
The present Sadler’s Wells Theatre opened in October 1998. Its design resulted from a collaboration involving RHWL Architects and Nicholas Hare Architects. The exterior seen here reflects its late twentieth-century design, combining red brick — sympathetic to the surrounding Islington streetscape — with a large glazed façade revealing the theatre’s public foyer and circulation spaces.
Today Sadler’s Wells is internationally recognised as a centre for dance, presenting and producing work ranging from ballet and contemporary dance to hip-hop, flamenco and other forms, as well as commissioning new work and supporting choreographers and dance companies.
The main auditorium accommodates approximately 1,500 people on three levels and was designed particularly with the requirements of dance in mind.
The stage is correspondingly substantial. Current technical specifications give a width of approximately 23.5 metres downstage and 21.5 metres upstage, with a 15-metre proscenium opening, which can be reduced to 10 metres. The distance from the centre-stage datum to the rear wall is approximately 15.73 metres, supplemented by a 1.5-metre forestage. The sprung dance floor measures approximately 19.19 by 14.48 metres.
Above the stage is a substantial fly tower. The proscenium is approximately 10 metres high, while the underside of the grid is around 22.5 metres above stage level. Computer-controlled flying, together with extensive professional lighting and sound facilities, enables the theatre to accommodate the considerable technical requirements of major British and international dance companies and large-scale touring productions.
The building also contains purpose-built rehearsal and production facilities and the smaller Lilian Baylis Studio, continuing the association with the woman whose determination secured the future of Sadler’s Wells during the twentieth century.
So although the theatre seen today dates principally from the 1998 reconstruction, parts of Chancellor’s 1931 building survive within and beneath it. More importantly, the name Sadler’s Wells represents over 340 years of performance on this Islington site — from a seventeenth-century music house beside a supposedly medicinal spring to one of the world’s major centres for dance.
Our poublisher promotes great projects made with analog stuff. "Just pie in the Sky" by the Russian photographer Igor Mukhin is a photographic collection about the 90's in Moscow.
The page of the project : bit.ly/mukhin_bergger
"The Soviet dream is over. Igor Mukhin, born in Moscow in 1961, never left his hometown. Gorbachev's reforms and the collapse of the USSR liberated photography from its documentary and propagandist vocation. The improvisation starts again. In this turbulent, unstable and uncertain background, Mukhin explores the city like the cat Behemoth. He is very tall, and nobody notice him. He doesn't travel, he's at home and he photographs his life."

ceiling and vaults of the Piccolomini Library - Siena Cathedral
La Libreria Piccolomini è un ambiente monumentale della cattedrale di Siena. Situata lungo la navata sinistra, prima del transetto, fu fatta costruire nel 1492 dall'arcivescovo di Siena, cardinale Francesco Piccolomini Todeschini (poi papa Pio III) per custodire il ricchissimo patrimonio librario raccolto dallo zio papa Pio II. Tra il 1502 e il 1507 circa venne completamente affrescata da Pinturicchio (1452-1513) e aiuti, tra cui il bolognese Amico Aspertini e il giovane Raffaello Sanzio
The Piccolomini Library was painted by the Perugian painter Pinturicchio (Bernardino di Betto 1452-1513) and coworkers, including Amico Aspertini and the young Raffaello Sanzio, in 1502 for his patron, the cardinal of Siena, who wished to honour his uncle Pope Pius II who died in 1464. (The unfortunate cardinal Francesco eventually got promoted to the Papacy and died 10 days later!) Pope Enea Silvio Piccolomini was one of the greatest humanist scholars and the library in Siena was built to house his precious collection of illuminated manuscripts. The frescoes in the large lunettes that line the walls tell the story of the Pope’s life, while the surrounding decorative elements and ceiling are in the “grotesque” style that imitates ancient Roman examples that were very popular with artists and humanists at the time.

Final departure from Manchester for G-VLIP as it heads to Ciudad Real, central Spain, for storage.
Named: "Hot Lips", later "The Falcon" (Sep-19).
Originally ordered by GECAS for lease to Alitalia as EI-CVI, the lease was cancelled and the aircraft was leased to Virgin Atlantic Airways as G-VLIP in May-01.
In May-10 it carried large 'Harry Potter' graphics until Jan-11. In Sep-19 the aircraft was renamed 'The Falcon' and repainted in a Star Wars 'Millennium Falcon' special livery promoting the 'Star Ward - Galaxy's Edge' movie.
Virgin Atlantic were due to start retiring their seven remaining B747-400's from the end of 2000, however the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2020 caused them to retire the aircraft early. All seven aircraft were initially stored at Manchester, UK in Mar/Apr-20.
They are gradually being moved to Ciudad Real in central Spain for long term storage and lease return. This aircraft ferried Manchester / Ciudad Real on 15-Jun-20.
It was ferried to London-Heathrow and onwards to Marana, AZ, USA in Dec-20 where it was permanently retired.

I am deeply honoured to receive the King Charles III Coronation Medal. I also want to thank Cos van Wermeskerken and Yousif Attia for writing their MPs about me and for MP Tako van Popta for nominating me to the Governor General and to the Governor General Mary Simon for approving me as a recipient. The medal is administered by the Chancellery of Honours at Rideau Hall in Ottawa. It was a true honour to be awarded the medal in the company of other worthy recipients. I wish my parents had lived to see the day. I sure missed seeing them smiling back at me in the audience.
It is the highest award I have ever received and it touched me to hear my work read aloud in front of the audience. I received this medal for my work with youth and founding the BC Young Birders Program, my work promoting inclusivity in Birding, mental health advocacy, bird conservation, nest box projects, creating community in birding and my work on environmental initiatives such as on a provincial ban on rodenticides and other volunteer work.

Sugarcane or Sugar cane (Saccharum) is a genus of between 6 and 37 species (depending on taxonomic interpretation) of tall grasses (family Poaceae, tribe Andropogoneae), native to warm temperate to tropical regions of the Old World. They have stout, jointed fibrous stalks 2 m – 6 m tall and sap rich in sugar. All the species interbreed, and the major commercial cultivars are complex hybrids.
About 107 countries grow the crop to produce 1,324 million tonnes (more than 6 times the amount of sugar beet produced). The largest producers are Brazil, India, China, and Pakistan, accounting for more than 50% of world production.
Sugar Cane is a type of grass originally from southeast Asia. The thick stalk stores energy as sucrose in the sap. From this juice sugar is extracted by evaporating the water. Crystalized sugar was reported 2500 years ago in India. Around the eighth century A.D. the Arabs introduced sugar to the Mediterranean and it was cultivated in Spain. It was among the early crops brought to the Americas by Spaniards.
Sugar cane was grown extensively in the Caribbean and still is on some islands. In colonial times sugar was a major product of the triangular trade of New World raw materials, European manufactures and African slaves. France found its sugar cane islands so valuable it effectively traded Canada to Britain for their return of Guadeloupe, Martinique and St. Lucia at the end of the Seven Years' War. The Dutch similarly kept Suriname, a sugar colony in South America, instead of seeking the return of the New Netherlands (New Amsterdam). Cuban sugar cane produced sugar which received price supports from and a guaranteed market in the USSR; the dissolution of that country forced the closure of most of Cuba's sugar industry. Sugar cane is still an important part of the economy in Barbados, the Dominican Republic, Guadeloupe, Jamaica, Grenada, and other islands. The sugar cane industry is a major export for the Caribbean, but it is expected to collapse with the removal of European preferences by 2009.
Sugar cane production also greatly influenced the modern history of many tropical Pacific islands, most particularly Hawaii and Fiji. In these islands, sugar came to dominate the economic and political landscape after the indigenous societies were invaded by Europeans and Americans. The Europeans and Americans also promoted immigration from various Asian countries for workers to tend and harvest the crop. Sugar-industry policies eventually established the ethnic makeup of the island populations that now exist, profoundly affecting modern politics and society in the islands.
Brazil is a major grower of sugar cane, where it is used to produce sugar as well as to provide the alcohol used in making gasohol and biodiesel fuels.
