Orchids: Treasures from the rainforest

A very special high and wide movement pauses in Griffith, Indiana. Couldn't have been that hot though, the crew was uptown at beans when I shot this.

Humor Monastery is an Orthodox monastery in Romania, built in 1530 by the great logician Toader Bubuiog. The monastery church has the dedications of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and Saint George the Martyr.
The monastery complex consists of:
* The Church "Assumption of the Virgin Mary" and "St. Gheorghe” built in 1530,
* The ruins of the monastery houses dating back to the 16th-18th century,
* The bell tower dating from the 19th century.
* Vasile Lupu's tower built in 1641.
The founder of this church, Toader Bubuiog, was a high political dignitary, holding the Roman Catholic parishes (1516-1523) and the great logofat of Moldova (1525-1537). During the reign of Petru Rareș, he carried out diplomatic missions in Transylvania (1527), Turkey (1528) and Poland (1532). He was married to Anastasia, the daughter of logician Ioan Tăutu (founder of the "St. Nicholas" Church in Balinese).
According to the custom, the founder built with the church and the cells for the monks and surrounding walls. In 1641, the ruler Vasile Lupu (1634-1653) surrounded the foundation of the logician Toader Bubuiog with durable stone walls and built a massive ground floor tower with three floors. In 1653, Timucus Hmelnitsky's Cossacks robbed and burned down the place of worship.
In January 1775, as a result of the attitude of neutrality it had during the military conflict between Turkey and Russia (1768-1774), the Habsburg Empire (today's Austria) received part of the territory of Moldova, a territory known as Bucovina. After the annexation of Bukovina by the Habsburg Empire in 1775, the locality of Humor Monastery was part of the Duchy of Bukovina, governed by the Austrians, being part of the Gura Humor district (in German Gurahumora).
The Habsburg authorities abolished the Humor Monastery on the basis of the Imperial Ordinance of June 19, 1783, of Emperor Joseph II (1780-1790), passing all the lands and funds administered by the Bishopric of Rădăuților "under the charge of the king's dominion and fort". After the monastery was abolished, the cells were almost completely ruined. The church has been transformed into a parish church. In the buildings of the former monastic ensemble there was a school for the children of the locals, and since 1850 they have been used as a warehouse for the materials of the Austrian authorities.
After the Union of Bukovina with Romania (1918), the church of the former Humor monastery continued to function as a parish church, and due to its artistic beauty it was integrated into the tourist circuit.
In the 60s-70s of the 20th century, important restoration work was carried out on the Humor Monastery. The pictorial ensemble of pronaos and crypt was restored in 1971 - 1972 with the financial and specialized support of UNESCO. On this occasion, the roof of the church was redone by enlarging the eaves to protect the exterior paintings as much as possible from the weather. Also, the tower built by Vasile Lupu was restored, filling the cracks in the walls, restoring the walls and the collapsed vaults, replacing the stone floors, consolidating the stairs and restoring the wooden balcony and the roof.
Only in July 1991, by the decision of Archbishop Pimen Zainea de Suceva and Rădăuților, the Humor Monastery was reactivated as a monastic settlement of nuns. At present, there are about 20 nuns who divide their time between church duties and work in painting and tailoring workshops for priestly vestments.
👉In 1993, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) included the Church "The Assumption of the Virgin Mary" and "St. Gheorghe ”of the Humor Monastery, together with seven other churches from the north of Moldova (Arbore, Pătrăuți, Moldovița, Probota,“ St. Ioan cel Nou ”from Suceava, Sucevița and Voroneț), on the list of world cultural heritage, in the group of Painted Churches in the north Moldova.
I did not know this....The Portuguese man o' war (Physalia physalis), also known as the Portuguese man-of-war, man-of-war, or bluebottle, though often mistaken as a jellyfish, is a marine cnidarian of the family Physaliidae. Its venomous tentacles can deliver a painful sting.
Despite its outward appearance, the Portuguese man o' war is not a jellyfish but a siphonophore, which differs from jellyfish in that it is not actually a single multicellular organism but a colonial organism made up of many highly specialized minute individuals called zooids.[1] These zooids are attached to one another and physiologically integrated to the extent that they are incapable of independent survival.

The thing about cyclists is that we LOVE to take photos of our bikes! I rode my gravel bike around the valley floor of Yosemite on Halloween this year. Truly enchanting with gorgeous weather and some spectacular fall color.
