In the Polaroid-Photography there is only one original and no more copy. It is just as with memories. Two people can never have exactly the same. This limitation makes it extra ordinary. And that's the major difference between a real Polaroid and a digital Instagram. So if you had the choice, what would you take? Remember, you are an original and no copy.

Cornwallis Statue
Approx 7 years ago, a democratic elected HRM Mayor and Council took a hastily called very quick private vote ? The vote was taken behind closed doors in a City Hall back room in a surprise, unannounced and very private meeting that had excluded citizens of Halifax ? And then, less than 24 hours following this hastily called highly important vote, a crew of city outside workers armed with hand tools and cutting torches was seen frantically speeding in bucket truck vehicles towards Cornwallis Park as they desperately clutched onto their official work orders signed by Mayor Savage instructing them to immediately and without prejudice rip down an iconic Statue that had stood proudly as the most beloved and admired monument in the City up until now, and had always been steadfastly protected, preserved and meticulously maintained by the good citizens of Halifax every day for the last 88 years ? It was also ordered that once this grand Old Testament to Haligonian history was freed of its ancient rusted support bolts and brackets and was no longer secured to its longtime weathered stone pedestal, that the fallen relic must then be completely covered and loaded onto a nearby waiting city flatbed garbage truck for transport to an unknown location where it is to be kept hidden away from all public view ?

But then the town received another complaint from the local anti-racism committee to say they are extremely disappointed by a democratic decision that will only replace one colonial street name (Cornwallis) with another, (Queen ) ?

No one can deny the existence of residential schools. And so why are an infinitesimal tiny minority like Leah Gazan (NDP), Lindsay Mathyssen (NDP), Nahanni Fontaine (NDP) and Kimberley Murray (Liberal Government investigator) so dissatisfied and why are they trying to force their own radical ego-driven personal viewpoint based on unproven allegations on everyone else ? Why do they want you to think the same way that they think, believe in the same way that they believe, and be forced by law into accepting their individual self-centred and self-serving narrative, (that they get paid to expound) as being Gods' truth, and if you dare resist them you are then to be called a hater and a denier and a criminal that could be sent to jail for up to life in prison under the law enshrined in their new Bill C-63 or C-9 ?

Originally built in 1837-1840, this Greek Revival-style building was designed by John Francis Rague, and constructed to serve as the Illinois State Capitol, replacing the previous state house in Vandalia. The building features limestone exterior walls, a side-gable roof, two-story doric porticoes on the north and south facades, doric pilasters, an architrave with triglyphs at the base of the roof, twelve-over-twelve double-hung windows, and a central cylindrical cupola surrounded by a corinthian colonnade, which supports a small dome. The building was where Abraham Lincoln served his last term as a state lawmaker in 1840-1841, where he represented clients to the supreme court between 1841 and 1860, and where he announced his candidacy for senate in 1858, with the “House Divided” speech. It is also where President Lincoln’s body lay in state in 1865, following his assassination. By the 1860s, the building had become too small for the growing state of Illinois, and construction began on the current Illinois State Capitol in 1868. In 1876, the state government moved to the current State Capitol, and the building was given to Sangamon County to serve as a courthouse. In 1898-1899, the building was heavily modified, with the original structure being lifted 11 feet to accommodate the addition of a new first floor, and the interior was completely renovated to serve as a courthouse. By the 1960s, the building was too small for the growing needs of Sangamon County, and a new courthouse was completed in 1966, allowing the county courts and government to move out of the building. The building’s facade was subsequently carefully deconstructed, and the wooden and brick interior structure was demolished in 1966. Between 1966 and 1969, the entire square was excavated to construct a subterranean parking garage and office building, while a new modern structure was constructed above ground level, and was clad in the original building’s exterior facade, while the interior was reconstructed to represent how the building looked like circa 1860, when President Abraham Lincoln was elected, and the building was still in use as the state capitol. Thus, the building as it stands today is structurally a modern reconstruction of the original, but incorporates the original exterior of the old state capitol, and a carefully restored interior. The building was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1961, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966, and is a contributing structure in the Central Springfield Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, and expanded to its present size in 2016.. The building today is a historical museum, and occasionally hosts ceremonies, including state constitutional conventions, and being the place where President Barrack Obama announced his intention to run for President in 2007, as well as being where future President Obama introduced his running mate, future President Joe Biden, in 2008.

The "Saint Friday" Church – Drumul Taberei is a relatively new church that replaces the old Sfanta Vineri, demolished by the Communists in 1987.
The patron saint of the church is Saint Pious Parascheva, which we True-belivers celebrates on October 1.4
In Greek "paraschevi" means "Friday", thus in Romanian Sfanta Vineri is a very common patron saint for churches!
This "Saint Friday" church was created after the repeated insistence of the worshipping community, who complained about the lack of a nearby church in the area.
Initially, the priest Nicolae Burlan dissembled an unusedf wooden church from the Vicovul de Jos community in Suceava and reassembled it on a plot of land on Strada Brașov.
The church was consecrated and dedicated to Saint Friday on 26 July 1998.
Since the wooden church turned out to be way too small to allow the over one thousand believers from the area to attend its services the Bucharest City Hall granted a 3000 m2 plot of land in the same location for the construction of a new church because.
On 29 September 2002, the foundation stone for the new church was laid.
Our Most Blessed Teoctist, the worthy Patriarch of the Romanian Orthodox Church, accompanied by the Most Holy Sebastian Ilfovean, then vicar of the Archdiocese of Bucharest, performed the service of laying the foundation stone of the new church dedicated to Good Friday and Saint Antim Ivirean.
Im the foundation of the new chrch were burried bricks saved from the former church of Saint Friday, abusively demolished in 1987.
On 11 November 2007 the church was finished, and it was consecrated.
I aslo took some picture at the consecration.
The new church is dedicated to Saint Friday (Saint Pious Parascheva) and to Saint Antim Ivireanul.
From an architectural point of view, it fits into the style prefigured by the "Saint Sophia" churches in Constantinople.
A large central hemispherical dome dominates the spatial composition of the edifice, making it look a bit different form usual Orthodox churches.
The Saint Friday Church – Drumul Taberei is built in the form of an inscribed Greek cross and measures a length of 37 meters, a width of 23 meters, and a height of 33 meters.
The church’s appearance is dominated by a large hemispherical golden dome.
The entrance is via a wide porch with six frontal columns and the vault is made up of 25 semi-arches which rest on metal rings.
Bootham Bar
Medieval town gate built on the remains of the Porta Principalis Dextra gateway to the Roman fortress.
Bootham Bar consists of a passage with archways at each end and of a rectangular gatehouse of two storeys above with circular bartizans at the angles and a low-pitched leaded roof. Much of the outer archway is of gritstone, the rest is of magnesian limestone.
Bootham Bar replaces the porta principalis dextra of the legionary fortress, which lay immediately behind and beside the medieval gate. The Roman gate was probably still in use in the late 7th century, when it was mentioned as a boundary in a land grant known from an early 11th-century summary.
The earliest parts of the present structure, the jambs and inner order of the outer archway date from the 11th century. The name, which first occurs in c. 1200, means 'the bar at the booths'. St. Mary's Abbey had the right to hold a weekly market here, a custom which may go back before the abbey's foundation in 1089 to the period of Earl Siward's minster.
The gate was also known in c. 1210 as Galmanlith or Galmonelid, perhaps a scribal error for Galmouelid, the gate of Galmou, the pre-Conquest name for the hill on which St. Mary's Abbey was built. The identity of Galmanlith and Bootham Bar is proved by documents in St. Leonard's Hospital Cartulary. (fn. 42) One reference is to a plot 'infra portam Civitatis Ebor. que vocatur Galmanlith', and another to 'Galmanlith scilicet infra Barram de Bouthom'. By the late 13th century Galmou was also understood to indicate Bootham Bar.
Tolls collected at the Bar are recorded in 1280. In 1376 a rent of 4s. was received for a house over the Bar; rent and expenditure on repairs to this house continue in the city's accounts during the 15th century and later. During the 14th century the Bar was heightened to house a portcullis and a barbican was added; the absence of any means of access to a barbican parapet walk from the first floor of the Bar, as provided in the other three main Bars, suggests that when the heightening took place a barbican was not envisaged. The portcullis is mentioned in 1454–5, and in 1488/9 there were great gates and a wicket. In 1511 two guns were delivered to Robert Preston, officer of the ward, for the Bar: 'a brasen gonne and a potte gonne of yren with v. chambres belongyng unto theym'. Expenditure of £25 in 1581–3 probably indicates the rebuilding at that time of the rear façade, as at Micklegate and Walmgate Bars. In 1603 over £10 was spent on repairs, including £4 to Edward Bykes, painter, for gilding the Bar on both sides and painting it russet and white. The Bar was again painted and gilded in 1633. On both occasions the redecoration was in preparation for a royal visit. There are also occasional references to the display over the gate of the heads of traitors, including that of Thomas Mowbray, the Earl Marshal, in 1405.
The gateway was damaged in the siege of 1644 and repaired in 1645. The bartizans and the upper part of the façade towards Bootham were probably built then, preserving the general form of the earlier work. In 1647 'the kings armes and the citties armes' were carved in stone and set up on the Bar. In 1719 the façade to High Petergate was rebuilt in stone, and in 1738 a statue identified as King Ebrauk, the eponymous founder of York, was placed in a niche there. The gates were replaced in 1748 by new ones made by George Gelson as qualifying work to become a freeman, but after 1780 they were allowed to decay until only one leaf was left, which was removed in 1789. A passage through the city wall on the N.E. side of the Bar was made in 1771. The heightening of an outer arch to 12 ft. was ordered in 1785, but it may not have been done. When St. Leonard's Place was made in 1831–5 the barbican was removed and a length of wall and rampart S.W. of the Bar was demolished. The Bar itself was in danger of destruction, but in 1834 the inner façade was rebuilt and the sides refaced at the Corporation's expense to a design by Peter Robinson, and foot passages were made on each side, the one of 1771 on the N.E. being reconstructed to conform. Further repairs were carried out in 1844, and in 1889 the exterior stone stairway was added, replacing the former access to the first floor from within the walls. The three statues on the outer façade were renewed in 1894. The whole Bar was restored in 1951, but more extensive restoration and conservation, made necessary by serious cracks, and costing some £25,000, was completed in 1970.
Architectural Description. In the N.W. front towards Bootham the large round-headed archway to the passage is of two plain orders of which the inner is supported on large gritstone blocks, probably reused Roman material; the arch springing is set back from the main plane of the jambs. This order, which is also of gritstone and has been badly scraped by vehicles, is the oldest part of the gate and can hardly be later than c. 1100. The outer order of limestone, which is probably a 12th-century addition and more neatly coursed, rests on a single corbel to the N.E. and a double corbel to the S.W. Several of the voussoirs of this outer order are modern replacements. The archway is flanked by muchaltered buttresses with chamfered setbacks, and above it is a string at the level of the first floor. On the N. buttress is a rectangular stone plaque carved in relief and painted with the words BOOTHAM BAR RENOVATED 1969 and with a shield of arms of the City of York below a cap of maintenance and upon a mace and sword in saltire. A half-round blocking in one of the stones above the string course is the remains of a spout discharging above the arch and represents the 12th-century parapet level.
Two small pointed windows light the first-floor room. Above these is a setback. The upper part of the façade projects at the level of the base of the bartizans on a chamfered corbel course. Below the latter are two shields carved and painted with the arms of the City of York and, above it, within a round-headed moulded frame is a larger shield surrounded by a garter and now surmounted by an open crown, added in 1864, when the shield was painted with the arms of England. It probably originally bore the royal arms of the Stuart kings, since these shields are probably those carved in 1647, and was so restored in Portland stone in 1970. On each side of this coat of arms and at a higher level is a blocked rectangular window or gunport. Another string course marks the roof level. The bartizans are supported on plain corbels and lit on the front and outer sides by two cruciform arrow slits with round oillets to the vertical slit. A weathered parapet on the bartizans and central block supports three statues in Portland stone dated 1894, the central one representing Nicholas Langton, mayor in the 14th century, and the others a mason and a knight. These are by George W. Milburn, whose workshop adjoined the Bar.The S.E. façade to High Petergate apart from the archway to the passage, was built in 1834. The arch is roughly semicircular and rises from roll-moulded imposts of c. 1150–75 which have been partly dressed off; it is faced towards the city with a skin of masonry added in the 14th century. The arch springing is again set back from the main plane of the jambs; these last have chamfered plinths, also 12th-century. The iron hooks for the gates survive on both sides of the archway. The buttresses, with two chamfered setbacks, were rebuilt to the old pattern in the 19th century, but previously reached only to the string course above the arch. Before 1719 the façade had three gables and was probably timber-framed. As rebuilt in 1719 it had a round-headed niche between two round-headed windows; above was a rectangular plaque, and a continuous cornice broke forward above the spaces between the windows and the niche. The whole was crowned by a high parapet with a pedimental feature in the middle. The niche later held the stone statue of Ebrauk brought from the Guildhall, a replacement for that which, previous to 1501, had stood at the junction of Colliergate and St. Saviourgate and was known as 'Old York'. The statue set in the Bar represented a king in armour, crowned and bearing an orb and sceptre. The present façade has two cruciform arrow slits at first-floor level, two narrow rectangular windows lighting the second floor, and a plain square recessed panel above in a high parapet in two stages divided by a moulded string. The bartizans resemble those on the Bootham front, but are solid below roof level and the two arrow slits penetrate only to a slight depth.
The side elevations of the Bar are mainly 19th-century, including the doorways at first-floor level and a three-light rectangular window in the N.E. side lighting the second floor.
Inside, at ground level the passage walls are regularly coursed in the lower part, which is probably 12th-century work. In the S.W. wall 6 ft. 10 ins. from the ground are three worn corbels 3 ft. apart, but there are no corresponding ones in the opposite wall where there is an offset for a timber roof. There is a portcullis slot, now blocked, behind the N.W. arch.
The first-floor room is now entered by doorways in the side walls but in 1832 was reached by a spiral staircase approached through a house adjoining on the S.E. The wall walk to the S.W. was reached through a doorway in much the same position as the present one, but another doorway formerly existed to the W., where a low recess marks its site. The two windows opening into a segmental-arched recess in the N.W. wall could have been reached only when the portcullis was lowered. The portcullis is now cut into two and fixed in position; the grating, made of timbers 4 ins. by 3 ins. in section set 7 ins. apart, is now 19 ft. high and 12¼ ft. wide; it has the usual pointed ends to the upright members and a small wicket; the outer frame includes some old timbers. The floor of the room, of concrete and steel joists, is modern. The room itself is loftier since the 19th-century second floor was removed in 1969; the offset on which the floor rested is now exposed. A flight of stone steps against the S.W. wall leads to a low gallery linking the two ancient bartizans. The wall walk to the N.E. was apparently once reached from the second floor by a doorway in the N.E. wall.
The third floor was replaced in timber at the 1969–70 restoration and the space above can only be reached through a trap-door. The portcullis was operated from this level by an upright windlass and ropes, still in good condition in 1834 but not now surviving. A new rope had been supplied in 1746 as part of the preparations against the Jacobite army. The leaded roof, which is reached through a trap-door in the N. bartizan, formerly sloped to S.W. and N.E., not as now to N.W. and S.E.
The barbican, demolished in 1831 except for the S.W. side which remained until 1835, projected 47 ft. in front of the Bar, was 26 ft. wide and about 16 ft. high, with walls 3½ ft. thick. A wide pointed archway in the front was flanked by two crenellated bartizans, each with one tall cruciform arrow slit and resting on a cone-like corbelling. A string course formed a weather-mould over the arch and returned below the corbelling. Above the arch was a plain parapet supported on corbels and with a rectangular panel in the middle. A doorway in the S.W. wall was probably a sally-port. It is uncertain how the wall walk of the barbican was reached since there is no sign of openings through the buttresses flanking the front of the Bar, as in the other major gateways; moreover the form in 1832 of the stepped fronts of the buttresses was as it is today, making the existence of blocked passages unlikely. Thus the barbican may have been accessible only from ground level outside the main gate, as at Thornton Abbey, Lincolnshire. The wall walk was narrow and projected internally on a chamfered ledge. The watch house adjoined the Bar on the S.W., and the 'Bird in Hand' public house abutted against the S.W. side of the barbican.
From Bootham Bar to Monk Bar the wall was restored in 1888–9; it was the last section so to be treated. From G. T. Clark's advice on the restoration and from detailed contemporary drawings, it appears that in 1886 the wall retained generally a plain parapet, although with some embrasures remaining walledup near Bootham Bar, a fragment of wall walk and twenty-nine old buttresses. Clark's suggestions seem to have been followed, and the present crenellated parapet, the upper part of the external facing, the wall walk, and the series of internal arches supporting it were all built in 1888–9. The external face of the wall is exposed and readily accessible along Lord Mayor's Walk but concealed by buildings in Gillygate, where it forms the rear boundary of some twenty different back yards. The internal face is mostly visible in the Deanery, New Residence, and Gray's Court gardens.
The rampart at Bootham Bar was formerly about 16 ft. high with the Norman gateway projecting externally. The greater height here may be due to additional material from the recutting of the ditch. The length of ditch along Lord Mayor's Walk is the best preserved of any on the circuit. Internally the rampart has been damaged by use as a garden feature from the 17th century onwards.
[York Historic Environment Record]
Walking the York City Walls
The city or ‘bar’ walls of York are the most complete example of medieval city walls still standing in England today. Beneath the medieval stonework lie the remains of earlier walls dating as far back as the Roman period.
The Roman walls survived into the 9th century when, in AD 866, York was invaded by the Danish Vikings. The Vikings buried the existing Roman wall under an earth bank and topped with a palisade – a tall fence of pointed wooden stakes.
The wooden palisade was replaced in the 13th and 14th centuries with the stone wall we see today.
The medieval city walls originally included 4 main gates or ‘bars’ (Bootham Bar, Monk Bar, Walmgate Bar and Micklegate Bar), 6 postern or secondary gates and 44 intermediate towers. The defensive perimeter stretched over 2 miles encompassing the medieval city and castle.
By the late 18th century, however, the walls were no longer required as defences for the city and had fallen into disrepair. In 1800, the Corporation of York applied for an Act of Parliament to demolish them. In addition to the poor condition of the walls at the time, the narrow gateways of the bars were inconvenient and the walls themselves hindered the city’s expansion.
Many other cities, including London, were removing their outdated, medieval city walls at this time. In York, however, the city officials met with fierce and influential opposition and by the mid-nineteenth century the Corporation had been forced to back down.
Unfortunately, the call for preservation came too late for some parts of the walls – the barbicans at all but one of the gateways (Walmgate Bar) had been torn down along with 3 postern gates, 5 towers and 300 yards of the wall itself.
Since the mid-nineteenth century the walls have been restored and maintained for public access, including the planting of spring flowers on the old Viking embankment. Today the walls are a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a Grade 1 listed building.
