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.
Freiburg Minster (German: Freiburger Münster or Münster Unserer Lieben Frau) is the cathedral of Freiburg im Breisgau, southwest Germany. The last duke of Zähringen had started the building around 1200 in romanesque style. The construction continued in 1230 in Gothic style. The minster was partly built on the foundations of an original church that had been there from the beginning of Freiburg, in 1120.
It is the only Gothic church tower in Germany that was completed in the Middle Ages (1330), and miraculously, has lasted until the present, surviving the bombing raids of November 1944, which destroyed all of the houses on the west and north side of the market.
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)
The Church of St. Lawrence in Březina is originally a gothic sacral building standing in a cemetery on the outskirts of the village of Březina in the Mladá Boleslav region. The church is an important Gothic monument of the central Pojizera region. It is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.
The church dates from the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries, it was rebuilt in the Renaissance style in the 16th century and partly modernized.
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

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.
The Riga Nativity of Christ Cathedral is the largest Orthodox church in Riga, which has withstood the Soviet-era as a planetarium and restaurant, but once again has become a sacral building, where Orthodox church services take place on a regular basis.

The monastery of the Benedictine Order at Pannonhalma was founded in 996 in Western Hungary and had a major role in the diffusion of Christianity in medieval Central Europe. The monastery shows a stratification of different architectural styles and various buildings.
Among these buildings: a school (the first ever school founded in the country), the monastic complex – home to the monks whose life is still based on St. Benedict’s Rule ‘Ora et labora’ -, the tourist welcome points and hospitality facilities, the Chapel of Our Lady, the Millennium Chapel and the botanical and herbal gardens.

The Sanctuary of the Divine Mercy is a sacral complex associated with the life and activity of Sister Faustina Kowalska. From the 1940s, a place of pilgrimage connected with the presence of the image of Merciful Jesus and the tomb of Sister Faustina.
The Sanctuary includes, among others;
1. historic monastery complex of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy,
2. the chapel of Perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, of St. Joseph
3. a modern basilica of the Divine Mercy,
Inside the chapel of St. Joseph is the image of Merciful Jesus, painted according to the vision of Faustyna Kowalska. Since the beatification of Sister Faustina (1993) her mortal remains as relics rest on the side altar under the image of Merciful Jesus. This image quickly became famous for favors and its copies and reproductions spread all over the world. This is the most famous image of the image of Merciful Jesus.
In the years 1999-2002, next to the monastery complex, a modern, two-level, ellipsoidal basilica was built over which the 77-meter high observation tower dominates.
The dynamic development of the Sanctuary took place after the beatification of Sister Faustina on April 18, 1993, and its canonization on April 30, 2000, as well as thanks to the pilgrimages of Pope John Paul II (1997 and 2002) and Pope Benedict XVI (2006).

Sanktuarium Bożego Miłosierdzia to kompleks sakralny, związany z życiem i działalnością Siostry Faustyny Kowalskiej. Od lat 40-tych XX wieku miejsce pielgrzymek związanych z obecnością obrazu Jezusa Miłosiernego oraz grobu Siostry Faustyny.
W skład Sanktuarium wchodzą między innymi;
1. zabytkowy zespół klasztorny Sióstr Matki Bożej Miłosierdzia,
2. kaplica Wieczystej Adoracji Najświętszego Sakramentu, pw. św. Józefa
3. nowoczesna bazylika Bożego Miłosierdzia,
We wnętrzu kaplicy św. Józefa znajduje się obraz Jezusa Miłosiernego, namalowany według wizji Faustyny Kowalskiej. Od czasu beatyfikacji Siostry Faustyny (1993) jej doczesne szczątki jako relikwie spoczywają na bocznym ołtarzu pod obrazem Jezusa Miłosiernego. Obraz ten szybko zasłynął łaskami a jego kopie i reprodukcje rozeszły się po świecie. Jest to najbardziej znany wizerunek obrazu Jezusa Miłosiernego.
W latach 1999–2002 obok zespołu klasztornego wybudowano nowoczesną, dwupoziomową, elipsoidalną bazylikę nad którą góruje 77-metrowa wieża widokowa.
Dynamiczny rozwój Sanktuarium nastąpił po beatyfikacji siostry Faustyny 18 kwietnia 1993 roku, i jej kanonizacji 30 kwietnia 2000 roku, a także dzięki pielgrzymkom papieża Jana Pawła II (1997 i 2002) oraz papieża Benedykta XVI (2006).
Wat Rong Khun - the White Temple, is a contemporary, unconventional, privately owned, art exhibit in the style of a Buddhist temple in Chiang Rai Province, Thailand, about 15 kilometers southwest of Chiang Rai.
It is owned by Chalermchai Kositpipat, who designed, constructed, and opened it to visitors in 1997.
The pictures were taken in December 2012 before in May 2014 the temple has been damaged by an earthquake.
But the main structures of the building and other parts of the temple were completely renovated during the last years.
Also there is still hope to reconstruct some art and filigree work over the next few years, for example, one of the rooftops, which is kinked.
ogni battito d' ali sembrava un ruggito silenzioso, un’onda che si propagava nell' Aria, mentre il suo sguardo predatorio scrutava la terra sottostante, vigile e inesorabile.
Il Sole colpiva le piume che riflettevano una Luce dorata, come se fosse una creatura appartenere tanto al Cielo quanto alla Terra, un simbolo di potere e sacralità!
Il Vento lo accarezzava, ma lui non aveva bisogno di spingersi, sa che ogni spostamento è calcolato, ogni volo è un atto di dominio.
Il suo corpo scolpito si disegnava nel Paesaggio circostante.
La sua potenza silenziosa, le sue enormi ali si aprivano in un abbraccio perfetto con il vento, come se il cielo stesso gli cedesse il passo...
Ogni battito è preciso, come se l' Aria non fosse altro che un elemento da domare, da piegare alla sua volontà.
Il paesaggio sottostante si srotola come un tappeto immenso, Montagne e Boschi che si perdono nell'orizzonte, Valli incassate e Fiumi che serpeggiano come fili argentati tra la Terra. Dio mio che bello tutto questo!
Ad ogni virata si avvicinava a me e il suo sguardo non sembrava indulgente.
Sguardo imperioso da sovrano che sorveglia il suo regno, deciso, ma al tempo stesso sospeso nella libertà assoluta del volo.
L' Aria fresca e rarefatta carezzava le sue piume, il suo corpo si spingeva senza sforzo, librandosi con una leggerezza che sfida le leggi della gravità.
La sensazione è di una libertà primordiale.
Il Vento accarezzava la pelle e le piume, e lui, indifferente a tutto, sembrava appartenere a un altro tempo, un’altra dimensione, dove nulla poteva fermarlo o impedirgli di Volare!
Il mondo sotto di lui appariva distante ed i suoi occhi penetranti, osservavano ogni piccolo movimento percependo anche il più impercettibile cambiamento nella Terra che sorvola...
il Cielo è suo!

Wald is a village in the south of Baden – Württemberg in the district of Sigmaringen.
Masterbuilder Franz Beer I. built this sacral building between 1696 and 1698. the consecration was held by the auxiliary bishop of Constance in the year 1709.

The Monastery at Lébény was established between 1199 and 1203, by a nobleman, for private worship. The complex was dedicated to the Apostle Saint James the Great. Though the existing charter for approving the donations and construction was signed by Andreas II (1208), one of the walls of the church had “1206” engraved in them, which may indicate that the church was already built at that time. It is also mentioned in the RegestrumVaradiense (an important language memorial), which was made in the late cathedral chapter of the present Oradea (Nagyvárad) in the 13th century. The monastery of Lébény was attacked and burnt down several times; the first by Mongols, then the second by King Ottokar I of Bohemia; and thereafter by the Turks, which was probably in 1529 and definitely in 1683. The monastery was taken back from the Turks by the arch-abbot of Pannonhalma in 1540. He named a new abbot, though the title only existed on paper for a little bit longer than two decades. In 1563 the monastery was burnt down again for the third time and was left devoured. Presently, the only part of the complex that is still standing is the iconic three-nave Romanesque church in the middle of Lébény village. This church is one of the most important Romanesque style buildings of Hungary, which was most probably restored in the 17th century by the Jesuits, and it was the first ever Hungarian monument that was restored in the second half of the 19th century. In addition, the Romanesque church is also operating as a parish of the village.
This church was built between 1518 and 1589. The plans for this sacral building was by Giacomo della Porta and was built by Domenico Fontana. At October the 8th. 1589 the church was consecrated by the Cardinal François de Joyeuse.
The church is famous for his three paintings from Caravaggio, shown in the Contarelli Chapel
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.

It was undated and unmarked. I know that my mother shot this. It must have been in the early 1960s, on the lower Meghna in what then was East Pakistan and now is Bangladesh, and it might be at the start or the end of the monsoon season, but that is all I can reconstruct.
Clearly the river determines every aspect of the villagers' lives. It provides them with all they need for a living, it is the main artery through which all goods are channeled that they cannot make by themselves, but when the cyclones barrel north through the bay of Bengal and push a mighty wall of water ahead of them, the river also brings death.
And the music is ---> here
I would like to know what that large structure is. It looks like some sacral architecture, but that region is predominantly muslim, and I think the style is different from a mosque. I wonder whether I will ever find out where this is ...
I have no idea which camera and film was used here.
