The nave of Parroquia de la Inmaculada Concepción at Av. Independencia 910.
Its history dates back to 1727, when the Bishop of Buenos Aires, Pedro de Fajardo, presided over a meeting of knights, including the governor of the Río de la Plata, Mauricio Bruno de Zavala, to secure a donation of land at the intersection of present-day Independencia and Tacuarí streets for the construction of a chapel.
The first baptisms were celebrated in 1737, and in 1749 it was named a vice-parish of the Cathedral, and declared a parish in 1769.
After several modifications, the building took on its current appearance in 1865.
In 1978, with the widening of Independencia Avenue, it lost its atrium.

I spent some time this past summer trying to learn how better to secure images of pollinators of all kinds. That project was motivated by my sunrise walks down an abandoned road southeast of Ottawa, where overgrown wildflowers grew in thick and deep bunches on the sides of the road, and where butterflies and moths and bees and wasps spent the first light re-energizing for the new day.
The subjects of the photographs had a lot more freedom to drift away from the road to the wild meadows than I had - old fences and thick vegetation kept me pretty hemmed in. That meant having to get creative in most cases, which was part of learning how to manage the situation. I really liked this image, shot through a wall of vegetation to find the Skipper - not an especially exotic one for people who know these creatures - who was drinking from the wildflower.
This activity and the many early mornings it entailed was a response to the impact of the pandemic on birding and bird photography. Most of my usual places had not adjusted particularly well to the changed circumstances, and so the solitary mornings were just what the public health officials ordered.
I really hope everyone is safe and has a great holiday break. I now know people (healthcare workers) who are scheduled to be vaccinated shortly in Ottawa so things are slowly moving forward - please take care.
And many sincere thanks to the people who look at, like and/or comment on my images. I really appreciate the connection. I spend a lot of my free time looking at and learning from others, but this is an amazing community, and it offers a lot to me in different ways - especially with the superb images people are posting. So: many thanks, and stay safe.
According to local legend, Helfštýn is named after the robber Helfried of Linva, who founded it. The castle was probably built in the last quarter of the 13th century. Around 1320 Vok of Kravař, a member of a prominent Moravian noble family, became the owner of the castle. Helfštýn remained in the possession of the Kravař family for more than a hundred years and underwent far-reaching structural changes during this period. Construction work began on a larger scale in the first half of the 14th century, but the main reconstruction of the castle into a Gothic fortress did not take place until the end of the 14th and the beginning of the 15th century. The Kravařs mainly improved the fortifications of Helfštýn. They replaced the makeshift fortification of the old parkland with a thick stone wall with four bastions, built a prismatic tower over the entrance to the castle itself and secured it with a drawbridge, built a fortified forecourt on the south side and cut the ridge of the hill with a moat carved into the rock.
The era of the Pernštejn family
In 1474, William of Pernštejn took over the castle estate and proceeded to its further reconstruction. In the last quarter of the 15th century,
Helfštýn Castle was enlarged with a thoroughly fortified, extensive farm forecourt (completed in 1480) and another forecourt, which formed a new outpost defending the entire enlarged building. At the same time, the fortifications of the old Kravaře castle were improved with bastions and a new system of towers and gates. The castle's ground plan was definitively given an elongated shape, and in its external form the perfect fortification system significantly overlapped all the other architectural elements.
Renaissance reconstruction
At the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries, the inner core of the castle was rebuilt into a Renaissance residence. The old castle palace was demolished, along with part of its original Gothic fortifications, and a magnificent Renaissance palace was built on the vacant space, in sharp contrast to the extensive system of late Gothic fortifications that surrounded it.
The destruction of the castle
In 1656, quite extensive demolition work was carried out, which, although it did not damage the fortifications of Helfštýn too much, definitively deprived it of the character of a manor house. And thus began the long-term destruction of the castle. The destruction was accelerated in the second half of the 18th century by the Ditrichstein family with demolition works. These attempts culminated in 1817, when part of the inner castle was destroyed by artillery fire.
Present day
The present-day character of the castle is that of a fortress with six gates and a series of 18th-century buildings and ramparts. Since the 19th century, the castle has been presented as a tourist and heritage site. Nowadays it has become a natural cultural centre of the region, with various cultural events taking place here throughout the season
Situated in high mountains on a river island, Norstedt secures the northern border of the Crohnstein Kingdom.
Further north, there is only the Wild Land, to which no one makes any claim.
Every attacker must use the bridges of Norstedt to enter the kingdom.
A river crossing is impossible because of the extreme rapids.
Will the city be able to defend itself against the attacking orc army?
At least help is on the way.
The first knights of the kingdom have already arrived shortly before the gates of Norstedt.
After 20 months of construction I finally managed to finish my Moc for the Lego Exhibition "8th Berliner Steinewahn" back in September.
Phu!
Next year I will build something smaller!
....at least I hope so!
Lars, who somehow always builds everything a little bigger!
Verteidigung von Norstedt
Im hohen Gebirge auf einer Flussinsel gelegen, sichert Norstedt die nördliche Grenze des Königsreichs Crohnstein.
Weiter im Norden befindet sich nur noch das Wilde Land, auf das niemand Anspruch erhebt.
Jeder Angreifer muss die Brücken von Norstedt nutzen um in das Königreich zu gelangen.
Eine Flussüberquerung ist wegen der extremen Stromschnellen unmöglich.
Wird es die Stadt schaffen, sich gegen die angreifende Orkarmee zu verteidigen?
Zumindest ist Hilfe auf dem Weg.
Die ersten Ritter des Königreiches sind bereits kurz vor den Toren von Norstedt eingetroffen.
Nach 20 Monaten Bauzeit hatte ich es endlich geschafft mein Moc zum 8. Berliner Steinewahn im September fertig zu stellen.
Phu!
Im nächsten Jahr baue ich etwas kleineres!
....das hoffe ich zumindest!
Lars, der irgendwie immer alles etwas größer baut! ;-)

Back to work today. It felt so wrong stopping work on the flat and leaving Tim to it! I've really loved working together over the past week and a half, and weirdly enjoyed the work itself too. I did help him move the washing machine into the kitchen before I left this morning - and helped level up the cooker this evening, so I'm not completely out of the game.
Tim did loads more today, securing all the worktops, plumbing in the washing machine and dishwasher, and lots of other bits and pieces. It was lovely to come home this evening and see yet more progress!
Meanwhile, I had a pretty good day at work. Spoke to my Mum on the way in this morning - it's her Birthday, and she'd just disembarked from a mini cruise she's been on with my Uncle Terry for the last few days. Lovely to catch up with her and hear all about it. At lunchtime, I walked down to Liverpool Street and met up with my friend Kelly and her family. They live in New Zealand, but won a Roald Dahl themed trip to London recently. Great to see them, if briefly - and I'll hopefully see them again tomorrow if little Daisy recovers in time from whatever bug she was coming down with today.
Also took delivery today of the new Regina Spektor album - so excited! The train was absolutely rammed on the way home, so I was forced to listen to it instead of trying to find elbow room to read my book. What a shame ;)

God be with us all.
There are a lot of yellow mushrooms near Deerfield Lake, South Dakota that have been uprooted. I wondered if an animal was eating them, then came upon this squirrel with one securely tucked in its mouth. Mystery solved!

I was thinking of using a different title, but didn't want to offend anyone. 'Trump's Wall' first came to mind, lol.
