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.
Happy New Year's Eve to all.
Drive safe....arrive alive !
Prosperity, health and happiness to all !

A half-open bud of Rosa ‘Prosperity’ against the winter's blue sky. The petals present a crapy texture and a soft pink touch in this season. This bud will not fully open until it fades away.

Eternal One: I am in control—calm and serene.
I am watching quietly from where I dwell
Just as surely as the heat shimmers in the blazing sun
and the dewy mists cool the warmth of a harvest day.
For even before the harvest begins, when the buds blossom
and the flowers make way for the ripening grapes,
God will cut back their shoots with pruning shears,
lop off and clear away the spreading branches. ~ Isaiah 18: 4-5
“It’s because I want you to remember that character counts. You can be the best there ever was at something, but if you have no character, what do you have? On the other hand, if you have very little as far as accomplishments but you have character, well, then you’re all right in my book.”
― Chris Fabry, Dogwood

Rievaulx in the North York Moors was Cistercian founded in 1132.
The first buildings were wooden. Abbot Aelred oversaw an expansion accompanied by much building from the late 1140s. The view above shows a second building phase featuring early 13th Century English architecture.
The abbey’s history was a bumpy one with times of great prosperity with many monks to other much leaner periods. Income was from sheep and wool to lead and iron mining.
Cistercians were not short on innovation. They spread iron making technology in Europe. At the time of Rievaulx's dissolution in 1538 monks were smelting iron in a quite efficient blast furnace.
This one of the techniques from the photoclass ...might look sloppy, but it's not easy to get right ;o) There is no photoshop features involved ..it's all made by the camera on normal settings and shaken not stirred ... lol

For MACRO MONDAYS, this week’s theme: "Currency".
The Coin (1 inch in Diameter) in the front with Chinese Character 乾隆通寶 was a kind of cash coins produced under the reign of the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing dynasty (1735 to 1796).
The gold ingot behind the coin called Yuanbao 元寶, was also a currency used in the first dynasty of Imperial China from 221 to 206 BC.
At the present days, they remain a symbol of wealth and prosperity and are commonly depicted during the Chinese New Year festivities.
As today is Chines New Year's Eve, I wish my Flickr friends a healthy and prosperous year!
HMM!
♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥

No ... not the hamster jam jokes please!
In the mid-1600s, the Dutch enjoyed a period of unmatched wealth and prosperity. Newly independent from Spain, Dutch merchants grew rich on trade through the Dutch East India Company. With money to spend, art and exotica became fashionable collectors items. That’s how the Dutch became fascinated with rare “broken” tulips, bulbs that produced striped and speckled flowers.

Guang Fu Temple
The temple, which is a mix of modern and Art Deco architecture styles, is believed to be over 100 years old.
It started out as a small wooden temple with Tua Pek Kong as its resident deity.
Over the years, the temple was renovated and extended but some of its original furnishings such as the ornately carved wooden altar and the statues of the deities were maintained.
Today, other than the Tua Pek Kong, devotees can also offer prayers to other deities such as the Goddess of Mercy and Buddha in the temple.

Her worship leads to abundance, auspiciousness and prosperity. As the Mother, She preserves, nurtures and protects. Her luminosity slays the lower, dark forces, evil and falsehood. As Goddess Durga, She destroyed the asuras Chand and Mund as Chamundi Devi and also slayed the buffalo demon Mahishasur
I had in mind to place 8 bills in a frame, which according to Feng Shui, 8 is money/prosperity number. It took me three years to find the perfect frame, and finally I found one at Thrift Store.

Animal symbolism on a Korean soapstone carving (lid of an inkwell). Close-up. I was interested to see how an object almost uniformly black would look when photographed. Lighting is everything here as the object can only be seen due to the difference of light-absorbing and -reflecting parts.
It's the Year of The Ox! @Chinatown.

The Irish Memorial / Leacht Cuimhneachain Nan Gael
This Memorial, a national monument, was opened to the public on October 25, 2003. The Memorial stands prominently at the southeast corner of Front and Chestnut Streets in Philadelphia. The Irish Memorial is dedicated to the memory of more than one million innocent men, women and children who perished during the years 1845 to 1850 and to the millions of Irish immigrants who found here in the United States of America the freedom, liberty and prosperity denied to their ancestors in Ireland.
