The Bressanone (Brixen) Cathedral was built in 980. Eventually, after two fires, the Romanesque design with its three naves and two front towers was constructed (around 1200). A Baroque design was later constructed in 1745-1754.
The Bressanone Cathedral's cloister is one of the most important monuments of art in South Tyrol. The cloister is famous in particular for its Gothic frescoes. It was originally built in pre Romanesque times but later redesigned in Romanesque and Gothic style.
A cloister (from Latin claustrum, "enclosure") is a covered walk, open gallery, or open arcade running along the walls of a building.
The attachment of a cloister to a cathedral or church usually indicates that it was part of a monastic foundation forming a continuous and solid architectural barrier that effectively separated the world of the monks from that of the serfs and workmen, whose lives and works went on outside and around the cloister.

Talvolta risulta assai difficile immaginare come i semi di un albero abbiano potuto raggiungere certi luoghi o certi ambienti estremi. Sarà stato il vento? Sarà stata una nocciolaia esploratrice delle pareti? Eppure l'albero è li, piantato solidamente sulla roccia, fiero, indomito, a sfidare le bufere dell'inverno e i fulmini dell'estate. Come un dio, che canta la canzone senza tempo della vita vincente ..... ..
A large solid pigeon with a unique waved crest on the back of the head. Almost entirely gray with darker wing feathers. Tail is dark gray with a broad pale band. Typically seen feeding on fruit high in rainforest canopy trees. Also, often observed flying in large flocks at high altitudes over other habitats – look for the banded tail in flight. (eBird)

An Elvis wannabee with his pompadour. We saw these large pigeons several times, but always at the top of a tree and always completely oblivious to our presence.

Wikipedia: The Golden Buddha, officially titled Phra Phuttha Maha Suwanna Patimakon, commonly known in Thai as Phra Sukhothai Traimit, is a gold Maravijaya Attitude seated Buddharupa statue, with a weight of 5.5 tons (5,500 kilograms). It is located in the temple of Wat Traimit, Bangkok, Thailand. At one point in its history the statue was covered with a layer of stucco and colored glass to conceal its true value, and it remained in this condition for almost 200 years, ending up as what was then a pagoda of minor significance. During relocation of the statue in 1955, the plaster was chipped off and the gold revealed.
The origins of this statue are uncertain. It is made in the Sukhothai Dynasty style of the 13th–14th centuries, though it could have been made after that time.
At US$1,400 per troy ounce, the gold in the statue (18 karat) is estimated to be worth 250 million dollars. The body of the statue is 40% pure, the volume from the chin to the forehead is 80% pure, and the hair and the topknot, weighing 45 kg, are 99% pure gold.
An old one from a night when I got so absorbed making driftwood creations, the sudden appearance of a wonderful sunset totally surprised me. It was a quick dash to look for some foregrounds so I didn't waste the moment. I do love the mad dash to use good skies or special moments. I wish I was the sort of photographer who plans everything in detail and waits for the perfect moment, but that's not me :)) Solid Air is by John Martyn, and has a perfect chilled sound, which perhaps I need to find.

My homeland Northwest Germany is poor in mountains and rocks, so the only exception has been a very popular and even mystic place for centuries. We took advantage of the nice Summer weather to visit the Externsteine on Sunday.
The Externsteine belong to the Teutoburger Wald and are a natural outcropping of five sandstone pillars, the tallest of which is 37 mtr high and form a wall of several hundred metres in length, in a region that is otherwise largely devoid of rocks. The pillars have been modified and decorated by humans over the centuries. The place has been an important location for religion and spiritual activities throughout history. In warm evening light the beauty performs perfectly.
This 1960 Aston Martin DB4GT, driven by Urs and Arlette Muller, was sporting a set of black wire wheels at the Goodwood Revival instead of its usual Borrani silver set I've seen it with previously, adding a sense of menace to the car that was previously missing. It also looks like the suspension has been worked on as well, with the car sitting slightly lower than normal (although this may be the combination of wheels/offset/angle of shot that give this illusion).
I've struggled to find any information about this DB4GT, so don't know its provenance, although I think its likely to be a continuation/replica given that there were only 75 genuine DB4GT's produced, 6 of which were in the lightweight spec where aluminium was used along with some extensive drilling of solid parts and stripping of luxury items such as the radio, clock, window washer bottle and bumpers.
A number of standard DB4GT's were brought closer to the lightweight spec after they were produced, but its not clear how extensive this was in terms of fitting of aluminium panels or the drilling of the chassis members.
The DB4GT itself is shorter in the wheelbase by 5 inches compared to the regulat DB4, and features closed headlights abd the larger bonnet vent. In keeping with Aston Martins luxury ethos, the DB4GT's were still fitted with leather upholstery and wilton carpets, something I'm sure was soon replaced or removed by owners keen to further improve performance.

I forgot to mention that the ice pancakes in the foreground are quite solid for walking on. Unfortunately they weren't as solid as I thought and quite a bit slipperyer (hmm..that's not looking like a word).

And the hits keep on coming as they used to say. Another beautiful morning from behind the Madison Beach Hotel.
The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Sigiriya is truly unique not only for its remaining ruins, but also for its stunning location.
The palace ruins on the summit of Sigiriya rock consist of several massive brick walls and pools, which were carved into the solid rock, and the sheer drop-offs on any side of the summit offer panoramic views in all directions.
The entry to the summit leads through massive Lion's claws which are the remains of what was once a much larger structure. In ancient times, the stairway lead straight into the mouth of a lion, and the name Sigiriya, which literally means Lions Rock, stems from this impressive monument.

The exhibition initiatives at the Reggia di Venaria extend internationally with the proposal of new artistic languages and expressions by Anthony McCall, a British artist known for his solid-light installations.
His “light sculptures” consist of spectacular flat, curved, and conical light beams that define volumes. Like physical blades, they move through darkened spaces, directly engaging visitors in experiences that expand upon and surpass traditional artistic cinema performances.
The event-exhibition features some of the English artist's most significant installations.

Le iniziative espositive della Reggia di Venaria spaziano in campo internazionale con la proposta dei nuovi linguaggi ed espressioni artistiche di Anthony McCall, artista britannico noto per le sue installazioni a luce solida.
Le sue “sculture luminose” consistono in scenografici fasci di luce piani, curvi e conici tesi a delineare volumi che, come lame fisiche, percorrono spazi oscurati coinvolgendo direttamente il visitatore in esperienze che espandono e superano le tradizionali performance del cinema artistico.
La mostra-evento propone alcune delle più significative installazioni dell’artista inglese.
