Hello Vienna
Although it is one of my favorite photos, I remember this photo with mixed feelings, because after that we went to Dubrovnik for a few days to celebrate my dad's birthday. Somewhere at the Vienna airport, Tamara and I had catched ourselves a pretty nasty germ. We didn't see much of the city, but all the more from the shoals of the bowl in the hotel room ... by implication this means: I have to go back to Dubrovnik (without stopping in Vienna)

Il Foro di Augusto è uno dei Fori Imperiali di Roma, il secondo in ordine cronologico.
Disposto ortogonalmente rispetto al precedente Foro di Cesare, ne riprese l'importazione formale, con una piazza porticata dove sul lato breve dominava il tempio dedicato a Marte Ultore, inaugurato nel 2 a.C. che si appoggiava sul fondo all'altissimo muro perimetrale. Dietro ai portici laterali si aprivano ampie esedre, spazi semicircolari coperti. Alla testata del portico settentrionale un ambiente distinto ospitava una statua colossale dell'imperatore.
Anche in questo caso, come nell'opera cesariana, la costruzione del complesso era stata voluta per fini propagandistici e tutta la sua decorazione celebra la nuova età dell'oro che si inaugura con il principato di Augusto. Svetonio racconta che:
« La costruzione del nuovo foro fu dovuta sia alla moltitudine delle persone sia al numero di processi [da portare a termine], i due fori esistenti (il foro romano e quello di Cesare) non erano più sufficienti e c'era bisogno di un terzo; per questo si affrettò ad inaugurarlo, senza che fosse ancora completato il tempio di Marte e stabilì che in esso ci fossero i processi pubblici e fossero estratti a sorte i giudici. »
(Svetonio, Augustus, 29.)
« Fece costruire un Foro più piccolo di quello che avrebbe voluto, perché non voleva espropriare i proprietari delle vicine abitazioni. »
(Svetonio, Augustus, 56)
Ottaviano aveva promesso di erigere a Roma un tempio dedicato a Marte Ultore (ossia "Vendicatore") in occasione della battaglia di Filippi del 42 a.C., nella quale egli stesso e Marco Antonio avevano sconfitto gli uccisori di Cesare, Bruto e Cassio, e dunque vendicato la sua morte. Il grande tempio sostituiva un'edicola provvisoria nel Campidoglio.
Dopo la sconfitta di Marco Antonio e la conquista dell'Egitto tolemaico con la battaglia di Azio (31 a.C.), il Senato conferì ad Ottaviano nel 27 a.C. i massimi poteri civili e militari, propri delle antiche magistrature repubblicane, e in seguito il titolo sacrale ed onorifico di Augustus ("venerato"). Consolidato il proprio potere, Augusto si occupò della riorganizzazione urbanistica e architettonica della capitale, che rappresentò un'importante espressione del nuovo corso politico da lui inaugurato. In questo quadro furono probabilmente avviati anche i lavori di costruzione di un nuovo complesso forense.
Come lo stesso Augusto ricorda nelle Res Gestae, il nuovo complesso monumentale venne eretto ex manubiis, ossia finanziato con il bottino di guerra ottenuto con le proprie vittorie, secondo la tradizione in auge per i condottieri della tarda età repubblicana, e in solo privato, ossia su un terreno acquistato a proprie spese da privati, collocato sulle pendici del Quirinale, a ridosso del popoloso quartiere della Suburra.
Il terreno per la nuova opera pubblica venne acquistato da privati, ma poiché Augusto non volle entrare in conflitto con alcuni proprietari riluttanti a cedere la loro proprietà, il progetto venne ridimensionato, almeno rispetto al desiderio dell'imperatore, non volendo egli ricorrere alle maniere forti.
Il Foro venne inaugurato, probabilmente non ancora del tutto completato, nel 2 a.C., anno nel quale Augusto ottenne il titolo di pater patriae ("padre della patria") e aveva indicato nel nipote Lucio Cesare il proprio successore.
La nuova piazza permise di avere nuovi spazi per i processi; ma la funzione più significativa del foro di Augusto fu quella di centro rappresentativo, destinato alla glorificazione dell'imperatore e della sua stirpe.
De Izaäkkathedraal is zonder twijfel de mooiste kerk van Sint-Petersburg. De kerk, die in 1818 ontworpen werd door architect Auguste de Montferrand, is de op twee na grootste sacrale koepelkerk ter wereld. Het reusachtige gebouw is opgetrokken uit rood graniet en grijs marmer. In 1858 werd de kerk gewijd, maar in het sovjettijdperk werd het gebruikt als atheïstisch museum. De bouw van de kolos op zich al was een hele prestatie. Er waren in totaal 24.000 boomstammen nodig voor de grondfunderingen. De bodem was er namelijk heel moerassig. Het gebouw zelf weegt 300.000 ton en biedt plaats aan 14.000 mensen.

Approx. 5 kilometers outside of Steingaden is the pilgrimage church of the Scourged Savior in the Wies, or Wieskirche for short.
In 1730 two priests from Steingaden Abbey made a “Scourged Savior” for a procession from various old wooden figures. To the displeasure of the two priests, the figure arouses more pity than they'd like. The figure of the Savior is withdrawn from circulation and lands on a roof structure. In 1738 the Wiesbäuerin brought the figure to her farm, shortly afterwards the Savior poured out tears. The miracle of tears begins, people make a pilgrimage to Wies. A great pilgrimage begins. The Steingaden Abbey is the landowner of the farm. Despite the abbot's doubts about the miracle, he quickly recognized the potential of a pilgrimage. In 1740 he had a wooden chapel built on the Wies.
The abbey is not very wealthy and wants to make the little church Baroque. But first you want to see how the pilgrimage develops. But instead of ebbing away, it increases. So it is decided to build a new church. In 1743 Dominikus Zimmermann was commissioned to draw up the first plans. On the recommendation of the Premonstratensian Abbey in Bad Schussenried, he came to Steingaden. He has been forgiven for his cost overruns for the church in Steinhausen.
In 1745 Zimmermann began construction, which was completed in 1759. The abbot died in 1745 and his successor went to work with great enthusiasm. He presented the building plans to the elector for approval, but to the annoyance of the prince-bishop, construction was well advanced. The choir and priest house were already under roof when the foundation stone was officially laid in July 1746. The choir was completed as an independent structure by 1749. In 1749 the miraculous image is solemnly transferred to the choir. Now the choir serves as a pilgrimage church, but it quickly becomes too small. The nave began in 1750 and construction was consecrated in 1754. In the following years, the interior was completed. In 1759 this work was completed with the erection of the side altars.
At the end of the day, the construction costs 180,000 guilders (approx. 8.1 million euros). Too much for the abbey. In 1772 the abbot had to vacate his post.
surprisingly there weren't many mask on Venice's Piazetta in the early morning of Shrove Tuesday and so I used the time to take some pictures of the cloudy but fascinating sunrise

Pastoor van Arskerk, Den Haag
In 1963 kreeg architect Aldo van Eyck (1918-1999) de opdracht een rooms-katholieke kerk te ontwerpen voor een nieuwe parochie in Kijkduin, aan de rand van ‘Meer en Bos’. In 1969 werd de Heilige Pastoor van Ars-kerk ingewijd. Vriend en vijand spraken hun bewondering uit: het gebouw was gedurfd, uniek in zijn soort. De eigenzinnige Van Eyck had gebroken met vrijwel alle bouwtradities binnen de katholieke kerk, zonder dat dit ten koste was gegaan van de sacrale sfeer.
