Cathedral of the Savior of Zaragoza
Zaragoza metropolitan cathedral, usually called "la Seo" was built on the site of the ancient Roman forum of Caesaraugusta and the greater Mosque of Saraqusta, from whose minaret elements still remain in the current tower. The building was started in the 12th century in the Romanesque style and has been the subject of many reforms and extensions until 1704 in which the baroque spire is placed, finishing off the tower.
Of the various styles that compose it, the most important elements are the following:
•Romanesque: on the outside, the lower part of the apse. The Romanesque interior of the apse is still preserved, but is currently hidden behind the Gothic altarpiece. In the sacristy, Gastón de Bearn's « oliphant », carved from 11th century ivory and the reliquary busts of San Valero (patron saint of Zaragoza), San Vicente and San Lorenzo donated by the antipope Benedict XIII.
•Gothic: mixed with the Mudejar, especially in the upper part of the exterior of the apse. The current plan of the temple is also Gothic, the result of various extensions. Currently it is a church with a living room or Hallenkirche, consisting of five naves of equal height, covered by suggestive rib vaults, ranging from the simple rib vault, passing through the calls of terraces, to those of starry ribs, fruit of the so-called flamboyant or final gothic. The vaults rest on slender fasciculated pillars, crowned with capitals with plant ornamentation, the oldest and with heraldic motifs at the foot of the cathedral that were already made in the 16th century. Magnificent polychrome alabaster main altarpiece made by Pere Johanand Hans of Swabia , which is considered a capital work of European Gothic. Choir stalls. Museum of Flemish tapestries from the XV, XVI and XVII centuries , one of the 3 best collections in the world. In the funeral chapel of San Miguel (Parroquieta), he is the tomb of the Archbishop Don Lope Fernandez de Luna of the fourteenth century.
•Mudéjar: exterior wall of the Parroquieta de San Miguel and inside it a golden wooden roof. Upper part of the exterior of the apses. The Aragonese Mudejar has been declared a World Heritage Site. Beautifully built and well proportioned, it is the current dome , which crowns the cathedral's transept and illuminates the chancel, made in the 16th century, straddling the end of the Gothic-Mudejar and the incipient Renaissance style.
•Renaissance: include the choir with its chapels, as well as the Chapel of San Bernardo, carved in alabaster, the Archangels and San Pedro Arbués of Elizabethan style.
•Baroque: the Seo bell tower, which was designed by the Italian architect Juan Bautista Contini. The classicist facade, which is currently considered the main one of the temple, next to the tower, is also baroque, although in reality it corresponds to the access of an arm of the transept. We must also highlight the decoration of some chapels and especially the interior covers of them.
Luke 2:15-18
15 So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. 17 Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. 18 And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

"O gladsome light, O grace of our creator’s face,
The eternal splendor wearing; celestial, holy blessed,
Our Savior Jesus Christ, joyful in Your appearing!
As fades the day’s last light we see the lamps of night,
Our common hymn outpouring, O God of might unknown,
You, the incarnate Son, and Spirit blessed adoring.
To You of right belongs all praise of holy songs,
O Son of God, life giver. You, therefore, O Most High,
The world does glorify and shall exalt forever."
("Phos Hilaron" is an ancient Christian hymn originally written in Koine Greek. Often referred to by its Latin title "Lumen Hilare", it has been translated into English as O Gladsome Light. It is the earliest known Christian hymn recorded outside of the Bible that is still in use today. The hymn is part of vespers in the Byzantine Rite, and also included in some modern Anglican and Lutheran liturgies)
"Φῶς ἱλαρὸν ἁγίας δόξης ἀθανάτου Πατρός,
οὐρανίου, ἁγίου, μάκαρος, Ἰησοῦ Χριστέ,
ἐλθόντες ἐπὶ τὴν ἡλίου δύσιν, ἰδόντες φῶς ἑσπερινόν,
ὑμνοῦμεν Πατέρα, Υἱόν, καὶ ἅγιον Πνεῦμα, Θεόν.
Ἄξιόν σε ἐν πᾶσι καιροῖς ὑμνεῖσθαι φωναῖς αἰσίαις,
Υἱὲ Θεοῦ, ζωὴν ὁ διδούς· διὸ ὁ κόσμος σὲ δοξάζει."
("Φῶς Ἱλαρόν" ή "επιλύχνιος ευχαριστία" ή "επιλύχνιος ύμνος" ονομάζεται ένας αρχαίος χριστιανικός ύμνος, ο οποίος, στην Ανατολική Ορθόδοξη Εκκλησία, αποτελεί τμήμα της ακολουθίας του εσπερινού. Πρόκειται για τον παλαιότερο ύμνο σε χρήση που καταγράφεται εκτός της Αγίας Γραφής.)
Depending on where you live, this very hardy plant can be seen as a food source, medicine, tea, wine or the bane of your gardening existence.
Commonly referred to as a Dandelion, it has other names: Lion's tooth; Priest's crown; Swine's snout, but its scientific name is Taraxacum officinaleits.
I have seen fields of these flowers and plants that have been cultivated along side other crops. I have also seen beautiful scenes of hillsides adorned with millions of of these bright yellow flowers. They are also some of the first flowering plants available to bees in the Spring time.
I myself have had a hard time with these plants. A sort of love/hate relationship.

'The man in green was wielding an old, rusty, blunt sword, which was obviously not made to fight organic beings. That enchanted sword was capable of slicing through the demon's body to weaken him, but the creature was incredibly fast. With a speed of shadow he grabbed the man with one of his dark tentacles, hurting him severely. With his last ounce of strength the man who never revealed his name raised the mysterious white stone and shouted the spell.'

Caught this limpkin walking through my neighbors yard while driving home this morning. We are so thankful to these birds for showing up in Louisiana. Our wetlands were being infested with apple snails and they eat them!
'The Fear emerged from the shadows many years ago. It came to bring pain and death. Our home island became our prison. He took many of our brothers and sisters. We were left completely defenseless. But one day the hope appeared. The man in green cloak, with a blunt sword in one hand and a mysterious stone in the other. He defeated the creature and sealed it in it's Eternal Prison. But I will tell you this story another time. You must be very hungry after such a long journey. Please, help yourself.'

The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood is a Russian Orthodox church in Saint Petersburg, Russia which currently functions as a secular museum and church at the same time. The structure was constructed between 1883 and 1907. It is one of Saint Petersburg's major attractions.
The church was erected on the site where Narodnaya Volya members assassinated Emperor Alexander II in March 1881. The church was funded by the Romanov imperial family in honor of Alexander II, and the suffix "on [Spilled] Blood" refers to his assassination.
Located in Beldinville, Wisconsin.

after a long long time i had a chance to go for a walk all by myself! after dropping my brother to his college and leaving the car with the driver, i started to walk. i felt a bit shy approaching people! i guess it was because of that long break!
so as i was walking, i saw this cemetery which seemed pretty ancient and decided to have a look around. but guess what! two of the guard-dogs didn't like me sneaking around at all!! they were barking at me and following me around! one of them was looking pretty eager to have a bite of me! i got somewhat scared and then this guy came out of a room and called those dogs off my back! and those dogs seemed to obey his orders!
Shoren Sharkar, is a guard of this cemetery. asked me if i was gonna put his picture in some newspaper! looked pretty upset when i confessed that "I'm just a kid with a camera", nothing more!!
yes i thanked him and left that place as fast as i could! damn dogs! i was starting to get some spiritual vibes! :(
