The town hall of Naumburg/Saale was originally built at the end of the 15th century, rebuilt after a town fire and later underwent some modifications. The Renaissance portal received the door leaf that has survived to this day.

The corner of the reliquary containing Eric IX of Sweden (in Sweden generally known as Erik den helige, Eric the Holy). The king was, according to legend, assassinated after attending Mass in 1160. The king was never officially canonized, but that was no hindrance for celebrating him as a saint in Sweden, where he was viewed as the ideal ruler.
The shrine is not the original reliquary for the bones. This is number three. The first was made when he left his original burial place (in Old Uppsala, Östra Aros) in 1273. The second shrine was made in the early 15th century. That one was confiscated by the king Gustaf I at the time of the Reformation. But his son Johan III donated a new shrine, this one made 1574-79 by his goldsmith Hans Rosenfälth. And this angle sits at one of the corners of that shrine, which still is at Uppsala cathedral.
And are the remains in the shrine really that of the original king? It's likely. The remains have been studied at two separate occasions, the second time in 2014-16. The skeletal parts fit with a man of the right age - both of the person at the time of death and period in time - and build (that is, it must have been someone noble who had been properly fed at a time when that was not something everyone could take for granted), and with damages to the skeleton that fits the description of his murder. DNA was also extracted which even more confirms that this very likely is the legendary king Eric.

- another part of the §“Gardens of the Wird“ in Berlin-Marzehn, opened end of May 2008, size: 3000 m².
The Renaissance garden bears the name “Giardino della Bobolina” and refers to a 1.30 meter high marble figure in the Boboli Gardens in Florence, one of the Italian gardens of the 16th century. Characteristic are the limitation of the stylistic devices, its manageable size and clear forms. It is intended to give the impression of the villa gardens of Tuscany with stone fountains, terracottas and ancient sculptures. Boxwood hedges form the parterres, flower and ornamental plantings complement the garden with orange trees, rose trunks in tubs, topiary trees made of boxwood and herbaceous and lawn plantings. In the "Giardino segreto" gravel paths convey the "private" ambience with slabs, pavement and steps made of light gray sandstone, a wall fountain in an alcove with tufa and recessed water jets is reminiscent of a grotto.

RENAISSANCE, in this case re-awakening… into something different, beauty of the second kind.
Dried Tulip.
Sometimes some flowers will lose their petals while others will just ‘mummify’ in the warmth of the studio conditions.
I know that some people are not keen on decay and that others love it.
But here I saw such beauty still, in the shapes and the colours.
Another of my personal favourites.
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and thanks for your ALL your comments and visits, so appreciated, M, (*_*)

Detroit, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 2024
The Renaissance Center, commonly known as the RenCen, is a complex of seven connected skyscrapers in downtown Detroit, Michigan, United States. Located on the Detroit International Riverfront, the RenCen is owned and used by General Motors as its world headquarters. The complex includes a 73-story Marriott hotel at its center, surrounded by four 39-story office towers, connected by a large square podium containing public spaces, a conference center, retail stores, restaurants, and a company showroom.
Developed as an urban renewal project in the 1970s, the Renaissance Center was envisioned as a "city-within-a-city," and was meant to anchor a wider redevelopment of the then-declining city of Detroit. The project was developed and funded by a consortium led by the Ford Motor Company, and John Portman served as its principal architect. The five original towers were built in the Modern architectural style and completed in 1977, with two matching towers added later in 1981.
General Motors purchased the Renaissance Center in 1996, and relocated its global headquarters to the complex. An extensive renovation, completed in 2004, significantly altered its Brutalist interior, improved access to the center from downtown, and added a new glass retail atrium and public plaza on the riverfront.
A distinctive feature of Detroit's skyline, the RenCen is widely considered to be a landmark and cultural icon of the city.] With 5,552,000 square feet (515,800 m2) of usable space, it is one of the world's largest commercial complexes, and the central tower has been the tallest building in Michigan since its completion in 1977. At the time of its completion, the Renaissance Center was the largest private development in the history of the United States, and the central tower was the world's tallest hotel.
In recent years, the massive center has struggled with declining occupancy, particularly stemming from increased remote work amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. General Motors has announced plans to relocate its headquarters away from the Renaissance Center in 2025, leaving the future of the complex uncertain. Redevelopment of the RenCen is currently under consideration, and could include full or partial demolition.

A beautiful sunset as the backdrop for the Ponte Vecchio (the Old Golden Bridge) over the Arno River brought out the majesty of the Renaissance masterpiece Duomo and the tower over Palazzo della Signoria. Florence, Italy
When I first looked at this shot in my camera, I was disappointed the Carolina Wren was so small. But after a bit I started to admire the composition - as if it was some old-world master's painting. And of course the subject was obviously a bird of many talents and areas of knowledge - a true Renaissance Wren. She was able to look at a vintage hand-washing pitcher, converted to a flower watering utensil, and see a fine place to safely raise a happy family.
Here is my contribution to the Time Isles collaboration at BrickCon, where me and several others all built floating islands depicting important events in world history. This build is based in Florence, Italy, where the Italian Renaissance started. I wanted to make the base half-circular and include an interior to a building, which was an interesting challenge. I think it turned out alright in the end, though I wish I had time to add furniture and more minifigures in the building. The bent bricks for the base were a pain, as they kept falling apart, but it was a really fun technique to use. The cathedral is based on the main cathedral in Florence; that's where I got inspiration for the white and sand green colorscheme which is pretty unusual. I also really like how the small gray building turned out, and I'm glad I got another chance to use that cool arch technique.
Let me know what you guys think, thanks for looking!
