The speckled wood (Pararge aegeria) is a of woodland areas throughout much of the Palearctic ecozone.[1] The species is subdivided into multiple subspecies, including Pararge aegeria aegeria,[1] Pararge aegeria tircis, Pararge aegeria oblita, and Pararge aegeria insula.[2] The color of this butterfly varies between subspecies. The existence of these subspecies is due to variation in morphology down a gradient corresponding to a geographic cline.[3] The background of the wings ranges from brown to orange, and the spots are either pale yellow, white, cream, or a tawny orange. The speckled wood feeds on a variety of grass species.[2] The males of this species exhibit two types of mate locating behaviors: territorial defense and patrolling.[4] The proportion of males exhibiting these two strategies changes based on ecological conditions.[4][5] The monandrous female must choose which type of male can help her reproduce successfully. Her decision is heavily influenced by environmental conditions

Anhinga drying off its feathers.
The anhinga (Anhinga anhinga), sometimes called snakebird, darter, American darter, or water turkey, is a water bird of the warmer parts of the Americas. The origin of the name snakebird is apparent when swimming: only the colored neck appears above water so the bird looks like a snake ready to strike. They do not have external nares (nostrils) and breathe solely through their epiglottis.
The anhinga is placed in the darter family, Anhingidae, and is closely related to Indian (Anhinga melanogaster), African (Anhinga rufa), and Australian (Anhinga novaehollandiae) darters. Like other darters, the anhinga hunts by spearing fish and other small prey using its sharp, slender beak.
Anhinga species are found all over the world in warm shallow waters. The American anhinga has been subdivided into two subspecies, A. a. anhinga and A. a. leucogaster, based on their location. A. a. leucogaster can be found in the southern United States, Mexico, Cuba, and Grenada. A fossil species Anhinga walterbolesi has been described from the Late Oligocene to Early Miocene of Australia.
Only birds that live in the extreme north and south of their range migrate and do so based on temperature and available sunlight. Anhingas will migrate towards the equator during winter but this range is "determined by the amount of sunshine to warm the chilled birds". Although not in their usual range, anhingas have been found as far north as the states of Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in the United States.
Nail smith or Nailer is a former craftsman who deals with the production of iron nails.
The profession emerged as a special branch of the forging industry. Nail smith or Nailer were mostly connected to the guild of blacksmiths and/or smiths, except in special centers such as Wrocław, Nuremberg or Vienna.
The nail blacksmith subdivided himself again into the black- and the white-nailed forge.
White nails were tinned nails, while black nails were burned with linseed oil after forging, blown or left raw. The oldest evidence of nail forging can be found in Stralsund (1340) or Nuremberg (1349), while iron nails were already used during the Iron Age.
The apprenticeship of a nail smith was usually three years, the subsequent period of society was two to four years and was mostly completed as walking years from the 15th century onwards. As a masterpiece, various nail irons and a certain number of nails had to be delivered in exactly predetermined size. It must be noted that the raw material iron was very expensive until the industrial revolution.
After the advent of machine manufacturing of nails from wire around 1800, the decline of this craft began in the mid-19th century. As an independent profession, it is now almost extinct.

Number 32 Bright Street is a non-conformist. The squat little bungalow sits sandwiched between two bay-and-gable Victorian terraces, angled to face a street that moved in the early 1860s. It's a relic of the very earliest days of the street and old Corktown.
In its first incarnation, Bright Street, a narrow residential road opposite the old Don Brewery building, was aligned parallel to Sackville Street which, before the Don Valley Parkway on-ramps forced the reconfiguration of local roads, ran in a dog-legged kink between Queen and King.
The street is named for Thomas Bright, an early landowner whose land was subdivided and sold by his son William Bright after his death in 1857.
Prambanan, of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, is known for a large, nearby complex of temples built in the 9th and 10th centuries. The best-known set of temples in the complex is that of Lara Jonggrang, also called Candi Prambanan (Prambanan Temple) because of its close proximity to the village. These temples were designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1999.
The Lara Jonggrang was said to have been built by Dhaksa, a king of Mendang-Mataram (Hindu-Mataram) in the early 10th century, to worship the Hindu god Shiva. It is the largest Shiva temple in Indonesia. Lara Jonggrang, meaning Slender Maiden, was the name given by the people of the neighbourhood to a large statue of the Hindu goddess Durga (wife of Shiva) in the temple. The Lara Jonggrang was built on a four-square plane, surrounded by four walls with four large gates. The temples are subdivided into a higher and a lower terrace. On the higher terrace are major temples of Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma with three smaller temples of their animal vehicles. The temples of the gods are decorated with reliefs depicting the Ramayana, one of the great Hindu epics. On the lower terrace are four sets of smaller temples surrounded by an inner wall with four gates.
Chartreuse du Reposoir, Haute-Savoie, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France.
La Chartreuse du Reposoir es una antigua cartuja situada en el territorio del municipio del mismo nombre, en el departamento de Alta Saboya, en la región de Auvernia-Ródano-Alpes.
Situado en el valle del Foron du Reposoir, en un circo boscoso al borde de un pequeño lago, los edificios que bordean el río están dominados por la cadena Reposoir al este y la cadena Bargy al noroeste. El establecimiento fue fundado en 1151 por el Beato Cartujo Juan de España y estuvo ocupado ininterrumpidamente hasta la Revolución Francesa y luego entre 1866 y 1901. La antigua Cartuja alberga una comunidad de monjas carmelitas desde 1932 y hoy se llama Monasterio del Carmelo de Reposoir. La Chartreuse está clasificada como monumento histórico.
La cartuja forma una plaza orientada de oeste a este, y reúne en su recinto lo que originalmente se llamaba la Correrie que estaba separada del monasterio.
El gran claustro rodea todas las casas de los Padres Cartujos; sus bóvedas en forma de silbato penetran los muros sin apoyo. Así llega cada monje a su casa. Las celdas de los Padres constituyen el cuadrado al norte y al sur y lo completan al este. El muro del cerramiento conecta los del norte entre sí; al sur y al este, se desprenden de él. Al pie de cada uno hay un parterre de flores de forma cuadrada. En la pared de enfrente está fijada una gran cruz negra, que el cenobita ve necesariamente cuando mira hacia afuera.
Las celdas se indican con una letra del alfabeto. Al lado de la puerta hay un pequeño portillo donde el solitario viene a recoger sus provisiones. Si necesita otras cosas, sólo tiene que dejar allí una nota con la letra de su celular. La cama tiene forma de armario, la ropa de cama se compone de un gran palet de lona, un almohadón, sábanas y unas cuantas mantas de lana que sustituyen a las de antaño. Junto al lecho se encuentra el oratorio, formado por una sillería y un reclinatorio, donde el monje recita la mayor parte de los servicios.
Al oeste de este claustro se encuentran la iglesia, la sala capitular y el pequeño claustro que data del siglo XVI y restaurado en 1929. Su construcción se atribuye a la generosidad de la Casa de Saboya cuyas armas aparecen entre las dieciséis claves policromadas. Este claustro está formado por cuatro galerías cubiertas que rodean un patio. Cada arcada de arco apuntado que da al patio se subdivide en una red de tres pequeños arcos polibados y tracería flamígera. Los grandes pilares cuadrados, la prohibición sistemática de la decoración escultórica y el rechazo de la vertical dan a este edificio del gótico tardío un aspecto achaparrado, pesado y austero. Las bóvedas de crucería, características de la arquitectura gótica, se basan en dos arcos apuntados que se cruzan en diagonal. Estas bóvedas y arcos están formados por claves, piedras talladas en forma de cuñas, apoyadas unas sobre otras. La clave es la llave central colocada en lo alto de una bóveda y que bloquea las demás piedras en la posición deseada.
La iglesia, cuya primera piedra fue colocada por Aymon I de Faucigny, hermano de Ardutius de Faucigny, obispo de Ginebra, es de estilo ojival. A lo largo del muro norte de la iglesia se encuentran la Capilla del Beato Juan de España (ahora sacristía interior) y la Capilla de San Antonio (hoy sacristía exterior para sacerdotes).
The Chartreuse du Reposoir is a former charterhouse located on the territory of the municipality of the same name, in the Haute-Savoie department, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
Located in the valley of the Foron du Reposoir, in a wooded cirque on the edge of a small lake, the buildings bordering the river are dominated by the Reposoir chain to the east and the Bargy chain to the northwest. The establishment was founded in 1151 by the Blessed Carthusian John of Spain and was occupied continuously until the French Revolution and then between 1866 and 1901. The former Carthusian has housed a community of Carmelite nuns since 1932 and today is called the Monastery of the Carmel of Reposoir. La Chartreuse is classified as a historical monument.
The charterhouse forms a square oriented from west to east, and brings together in its enclosure what was originally called the Correrie, which was separated from the monastery.
The great cloister surrounds all the houses of the Carthusian Fathers; Its whistle-shaped vaults penetrate the walls without support. This is how each monk arrives at his house. The cells of the Fathers constitute the square to the north and south and complete it to the east. The enclosure wall connects the northern ones to each other; to the south and east, they detach themselves from it. At the foot of each one is a square flower bed. On the opposite wall is fixed a large black cross, which the Cenobite necessarily sees when he looks out.
Cells are indicated by a letter of the alphabet. Next to the door there is a small gate where the loner comes to collect his supplies. If he needs other things, he just has to leave a note there with the handwriting on his cell phone. The bed is shaped like a wardrobe, the bedding consists of a large canvas pallet, a pillow, sheets and a few wool blankets that replace those of yesteryear. Next to the bed is the oratory, made up of a chair and a kneeler, where the monk recites most of the services.
To the west of this cloister are the church, the chapter house and the small cloister dating from the 16th century and restored in 1929. Its construction is attributed to the generosity of the House of Savoy whose arms appear among the sixteen polychrome keys. This cloister is made up of four covered galleries that surround a patio. Each pointed arch arcade facing the courtyard is subdivided into a network of three small polybate arches and flamboyant tracery. The large square pillars, the systematic prohibition of sculptural decoration and the rejection of the vertical give this late Gothic building a squat, heavy and austere appearance. The cross vaults, characteristic of Gothic architecture, are based on two pointed arches that intersect diagonally. These vaults and arches are formed by keystones, stones carved in the shape of wedges, resting on each other. The key is the central key placed at the top of a vault and which locks the other stones in the desired position.
The church, whose foundation stone was laid by Aymon I de Faucigny, brother of Ardutius de Faucigny, bishop of Geneva, is in the ogival style. Along the north wall of the church are the Chapel of Blessed John of Spain (now the interior sacristy) and the Chapel of Saint Anthony (today the exterior sacristy for priests).

A plump ball on sticks. Quite common and easily heard, but shy and rarely seen in the open. Striking plumage renders this species unmistakable in range: bright rufous head, white throat, and streaked underparts. Sexes alike. Found from subtropical zone up to the temperate zone in the Andes, within forest but also edges, thickets, second growth, and bamboo patches. Slightly less elusive than other antpittas; can sometimes be coaxed into the open by imitating its three-parted whistled song.
This strikingly plumaged antpitta is both easily identified and one of the most easily seen of an extremely wary and notoriously shy family of birds. Chestnut-crowned Antpitta ranges from northern Venezuela south to central Peru, and is subdivided into seven subspecies, which mainly differ in the details of their head patterns. It has a broad altitudinal range, from 1200 to 3600 m, and is found in all manner of forest types, but especially favors borders, clearings, second growth, patches of bamboo, and other disturbed habitats. Chestnut-crowned Antpitta’s song is easily imitated, and these bold, inquisitive birds will readily approach in response to human whistles. In some places, the birds will even become tame, feeding in car parks and other areas subject to much human activity. Being so widespread and relatively numerous, Chestnut-crowned Antpitta is one of the better known members of the Grallariidae. doi.org/10.2173/bow.chcant2.01

Excerpt from www.stcatharines.ca/en/arts-culture-and-events/queen-stre...:
After the construction of the first Welland Canal, the Niagara Peninsula saw considerable economic growth. The canal project was initiated by William Hamilton Merritt, a prominent landowner in the area.
In 1868, the Merritt estate was subdivided creating the Triangular Tract, a new residential neighbourhood and Montebello Garden – which was later acquired by the City and is now known as Montebello Park. By the 1870s, Queen Street was a thriving residential street, and a large pavilion and bandstand was built in Montebello Park. It wasn't until 1913 that families settled in homes along Midland Street, bordering the park. The unique building styles in this neighbourhood, give the Queen Street Heritage District a diverse and rich historical streetscape.

Palgon དཔལ་མགོན། county
Palgon county in the hinterland of Lake Namtso Chukmo. Until recently Palgon was one of largest of the Jangtang counties (being Shentsa the largest), extending from the present-day Xinjiang and Qinghai provincial borders in the north to the Yarlung Tsangpo ཡར་ཀླུངས་གཙང་པོ་ (Brahmaputra) watershed in the south. As such the county was larger than the United Kingdom! But now it has been subdivided into Tsonyi county and Palgon proper, governed from Naktsang. The county capital is located at Namru. Area: 99.112 sq km. www.footprinttravelguides.com/c/2848/tibet/&Action=pr...
Out and about today - on the road back home. The Welsh landscape is always stunning! (Taken through the car windscreen - hence a few blobs - must clean the car!)
In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Llanfaredd like this:
"LLANVARETH, a parish in the district of Builth and county of Radnor; on the rivers Vareth and Wye, 2 miles E of Builth r. station. Post town, Builth, Breconshire. Acres, 2,245. Real property, £1,104. Pop., 155. Houses, 25. The property is subdivided. Much of the surface is hill pasture. The living is a rectory, annexed to the rectory of Aberedw, in the diocese of St. David's. The church was reported in 1859 as bad."

The Birch Bayh Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse, formerly known as the U.S. Courthouse and Post Office and as the Federal Building, is a courthouse of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, located in Indianapolis.

The anhinga (Anhinga anhinga), sometimes called snakebird, darter, American darter, or water turkey, is a water bird of the warmer parts of the Americas. The word anhinga comes from the Brazilian Tupi language and means devil bird or snake bird. The origin of the name snakebird is apparent when swimming: only the colored neck appears above water so the bird looks like a snake ready to strike. They do not have external nares (nostrils) and breathe solely through their epiglottis.
The anhinga is placed in the darter family, Anhingidae, and is closely related to Indian (Anhinga melanogaster), African (Anhinga rufa), and Australian (Anhinga novaehollandiae) darters. Like other darters, the anhinga hunts by spearing fish and other small prey using its sharp, slender beak.
Anhinga species are found all over the world in warm shallow waters. The American anhinga has been subdivided into two subspecies, A. a. anhinga and A. a. leucogaster, based on their location. A. a. anhinga can be found mainly east of the Andes in South America and also the islands of Trinidad and Tobago. A. a. leucogaster can be found in the southern United States, Mexico, Cuba, and Grenada. A fossil species Anhinga walterbolesi has been described from the Late Oligocene to Early Miocene of Australia.
Only birds that live in the extreme north and south of their range migrate and do so based on temperature and available sunlight. Anhingas will migrate towards the equator during winter but this range is "determined by the amount of sunshine to warm the chilled birds". Although not in their usual range, anhingas have been found as far north as the states of Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in the United States. – Wikipedia

After the construction of the first Welland Canal, the Niagara Peninsula saw considerable economic growth. The canal project was initiated by William Hamilton Merritt, a prominent landowner in the area.
In 1868, the Merritt estate was subdivided creating the Triangular Tract, a new residential neighbourhood and Montebello Garden – which was later acquired by the City and is now known as Montebello Park. By the 1870s, Queen Street was a thriving residential street, and a large pavilion and bandstand was built in Montebello Park. It wasn't until 1913 that families settled in homes along Midland Street, bordering the park. The unique building styles in this neighbourhood, give the Queen Street Heritage District a diverse and rich historical streetscape.

The Lobby of the legendary Fullerton Hotel, Singapore.
The Fullerton Building restoration project from 1998 to 2000 was one of the few conservation projects in the world involving an institutional building. Architects 61, together with DP Consultants, was engaged to convert it into a 400-room luxury hotel. The hotel rooms were designed by Hirsch Bedner Associates.
During its redevelopment, the historical building had most of its special architectural features retained and restored. The conservation work was coordinated by the URA, which had certain stipulations that the new owners had to comply with. Several features of the original building had to be restored faithfully. These included the General Post Office gallery area on the ground floor, with bays that corresponded with the building's towering Doric columns on the façade, and the Straits Club Billiard Room. The post office gallery no longer exists, but has been subdivided to provide a bar, a restaurant and the hotel foyer. The Straits Club Billiard Room was kept, but without its wood panelling.
The Fullerton Hotel Singapore has 400 rooms and suites which either overlook the atrium courtyard, or face downtown Singapore's skyline, the Singapore River promenade or the Marina Bay.
The hotel has a 25-metre outdoor infinity swimming pool, fitness centre and a luxury spa. It also has five food and beverage outlets. For business travellers, the hotel has a 24-hour financial centre with the Bloomberg Professional service that provides financial reports and world news, and 15 meeting rooms equipped with conference facilities.
The ruins of Pleasant View near Moulamein in the NSW southern Riverina. Pleasant View belonged to the Brehaut family and sits on the banks of the Edward River. The Brehauts were farmers and neighbours of my grandparents with the original house being built mainly in mud brick around the time of the First World War by Mary Brehaut's father, Mr. Littlewood. The Brehaut's farm has been since subdivided and my brother now has the house block where he will build a new house. Sadly the Pleasant View homestead is beyond restoration. My nephew who is a builder tells me that If they could have bought the property a decade earlier, it would have been well worth restoring.
Erythranthe montioides is a species of monkeyflower known by the common name montia-like monkeyflower. It is native to the Sierra Nevada and its foothills in California, and it has been observed in the mountains near Carson City, Nevada. It grows in moist areas in the mountains and disturbed, rocky soils. It was formerly known as Mimulus montioides. I found this near Yosemite NP, and it took me two years to ID.
It is a hairy annual herb growing up to about 18 centimeters tall. The oppositely arranged leaves are linear in shape and up to 3 centimeters long. The tubular, wide-faced flower may be yellow, purple, or bicolored, and some populations have more than one color type. The face of the flower is divided into five lobes, each of which may be subdivided into two lobes.

Chartreuse du Reposoir, Haute-Savoie, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France.
La Chartreuse du Reposoir es una antigua cartuja situada en el territorio del municipio del mismo nombre, en el departamento de Alta Saboya, en la región de Auvernia-Ródano-Alpes.
Situado en el valle del Foron du Reposoir, en un circo boscoso al borde de un pequeño lago, los edificios que bordean el río están dominados por la cadena Reposoir al este y la cadena Bargy al noroeste. El establecimiento fue fundado en 1151 por el Beato Cartujo Juan de España y estuvo ocupado ininterrumpidamente hasta la Revolución Francesa y luego entre 1866 y 1901. La antigua Cartuja alberga una comunidad de monjas carmelitas desde 1932 y hoy se llama Monasterio del Carmelo de Reposoir. La Chartreuse está clasificada como monumento histórico.
La cartuja forma una plaza orientada de oeste a este, y reúne en su recinto lo que originalmente se llamaba la Correrie que estaba separada del monasterio.
El gran claustro rodea todas las casas de los Padres Cartujos; sus bóvedas en forma de silbato penetran los muros sin apoyo. Así llega cada monje a su casa. Las celdas de los Padres constituyen el cuadrado al norte y al sur y lo completan al este. El muro del cerramiento conecta los del norte entre sí; al sur y al este, se desprenden de él. Al pie de cada uno hay un parterre de flores de forma cuadrada. En la pared de enfrente está fijada una gran cruz negra, que el cenobita ve necesariamente cuando mira hacia afuera.
Las celdas se indican con una letra del alfabeto. Al lado de la puerta hay un pequeño portillo donde el solitario viene a recoger sus provisiones. Si necesita otras cosas, sólo tiene que dejar allí una nota con la letra de su celular. La cama tiene forma de armario, la ropa de cama se compone de un gran palet de lona, un almohadón, sábanas y unas cuantas mantas de lana que sustituyen a las de antaño. Junto al lecho se encuentra el oratorio, formado por una sillería y un reclinatorio, donde el monje recita la mayor parte de los servicios.
Al oeste de este claustro se encuentran la iglesia, la sala capitular y el pequeño claustro que data del siglo XVI y restaurado en 1929. Su construcción se atribuye a la generosidad de la Casa de Saboya cuyas armas aparecen entre las dieciséis claves policromadas. Este claustro está formado por cuatro galerías cubiertas que rodean un patio. Cada arcada de arco apuntado que da al patio se subdivide en una red de tres pequeños arcos polibados y tracería flamígera. Los grandes pilares cuadrados, la prohibición sistemática de la decoración escultórica y el rechazo de la vertical dan a este edificio del gótico tardío un aspecto achaparrado, pesado y austero. Las bóvedas de crucería, características de la arquitectura gótica, se basan en dos arcos apuntados que se cruzan en diagonal. Estas bóvedas y arcos están formados por claves, piedras talladas en forma de cuñas, apoyadas unas sobre otras. La clave es la llave central colocada en lo alto de una bóveda y que bloquea las demás piedras en la posición deseada.
La iglesia, cuya primera piedra fue colocada por Aymon I de Faucigny, hermano de Ardutius de Faucigny, obispo de Ginebra, es de estilo ojival. A lo largo del muro norte de la iglesia se encuentran la Capilla del Beato Juan de España (ahora sacristía interior) y la Capilla de San Antonio (hoy sacristía exterior para sacerdotes).
The Chartreuse du Reposoir is a former charterhouse located on the territory of the municipality of the same name, in the Haute-Savoie department, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
Located in the valley of the Foron du Reposoir, in a wooded cirque on the edge of a small lake, the buildings bordering the river are dominated by the Reposoir chain to the east and the Bargy chain to the northwest. The establishment was founded in 1151 by the Blessed Carthusian John of Spain and was occupied continuously until the French Revolution and then between 1866 and 1901. The former Carthusian has housed a community of Carmelite nuns since 1932 and today is called the Monastery of the Carmel of Reposoir. La Chartreuse is classified as a historical monument.
The charterhouse forms a square oriented from west to east, and brings together in its enclosure what was originally called the Correrie, which was separated from the monastery.
The great cloister surrounds all the houses of the Carthusian Fathers; Its whistle-shaped vaults penetrate the walls without support. This is how each monk arrives at his house. The cells of the Fathers constitute the square to the north and south and complete it to the east. The enclosure wall connects the northern ones to each other; to the south and east, they detach themselves from it. At the foot of each one is a square flower bed. On the opposite wall is fixed a large black cross, which the Cenobite necessarily sees when he looks out.
Cells are indicated by a letter of the alphabet. Next to the door there is a small gate where the loner comes to collect his supplies. If he needs other things, he just has to leave a note there with the handwriting on his cell phone. The bed is shaped like a wardrobe, the bedding consists of a large canvas pallet, a pillow, sheets and a few wool blankets that replace those of yesteryear. Next to the bed is the oratory, made up of a chair and a kneeler, where the monk recites most of the services.
To the west of this cloister are the church, the chapter house and the small cloister dating from the 16th century and restored in 1929. Its construction is attributed to the generosity of the House of Savoy whose arms appear among the sixteen polychrome keys. This cloister is made up of four covered galleries that surround a patio. Each pointed arch arcade facing the courtyard is subdivided into a network of three small polybate arches and flamboyant tracery. The large square pillars, the systematic prohibition of sculptural decoration and the rejection of the vertical give this late Gothic building a squat, heavy and austere appearance. The cross vaults, characteristic of Gothic architecture, are based on two pointed arches that intersect diagonally. These vaults and arches are formed by keystones, stones carved in the shape of wedges, resting on each other. The key is the central key placed at the top of a vault and which locks the other stones in the desired position.
The church, whose foundation stone was laid by Aymon I de Faucigny, brother of Ardutius de Faucigny, bishop of Geneva, is in the ogival style. Along the north wall of the church are the Chapel of Blessed John of Spain (now the interior sacristy) and the Chapel of Saint Anthony (today the exterior sacristy for priests).
My brother and sister-in law told me they had seen three juvenile Black-shouldered Kite in the grasslands near home. I went down the following day and found them hanging around a big old tree. I spent a magic hour, watching them hunting, soaring high and low, so low at times that they were traveling through the people's front gardens. This one caught a mouse for an afternoon snack. Out of the photo, the siblings looked on enviously. No sharing in this family!
I live in an outer suburb, once part of the great plains grasslands. Less than 1 percent remains. The area is being subdivided for housing. They have left a grassland corridor and large lake within a creek system. I hope it is enough to sustain them and keep them in the area.
Pelmo 20210922
Monte Pelmo (3168 m) is one of the main peaks of the Dolomites mountains, although there are some higher ones.
The Dolomites are subdivided into massifs of limestone rock that are separated from each other by mountain passes, mostly with a good road. Monte Pelmo is such a massif for its own.
To build St. Mark’s Church, Venice brought the spiritual and material heritage of Byzantium to the West.
The Greek cross plan stands on a structure which in the longitudinal nave has basilica architectural motifs: the vertical arm of the cross is greater than those of the transepts and the altar is in the apse area. Above the cross are five cupolas, according to the eastern model, as a symbol of God’s presence.
Organisation of the space is rich in evocations that are not found in other Byzantine churches. The interior has a unitary sequence subdivided into individual spatial orchestrations to which gold background mosaics ensure continuity and the church’s special way of being.
Note: The details of Basilica di San Marco.
The plateau of Albion is located astride the three departments of Vaucluse, Drôme and Alpes-de-Haute-Provence.

In our ongoing Camellia series, we have this beautiful one. The accompanying sign identifies it as 'Camellia sp.'. That final 'sp.' marks this as being of an unidentified species (sp. sometimes also spec.), meaning that either the botanical gardens who own and display the plant are only sure of the genus of this particular example but not of its species or that they believe it to be of a new, not yet (fully) described species. If it is the first, the botanical gardens will either not have the means or do not see the necessity of identifying this exhibit further.
In texts you find similar abbreviations: 'ssp.' and 'spp.'. The latter of these is simply the plural, short for 'species pluralis' (Latin for multiple species). The first identifies the individual as of a subspecies. On signs this is usually written as 'subsp.', though. I've only ever come across one sign that had 'ssp.' at the end, and that was a similar case to this: they knew that the species had been subdivided, but they weren't certain of the subspecies this particular individual belonged to.
As an aside, the word species is related to the word specere (to see). It refers to the appearance or the shape of the thing, because that is how they were identified in the past. Now, of course, we often use DNA analysis instead. Not sure how you'd express that in Latin ;-)

Burano is one of the islands near Venice, a wild collection of colors and canals.
From Wikipedia: "Burano is situated 7 kilometres (4 miles) from Venice, a 40-minute trip by Venetian motorboats, "vaporetti".
The island is linked to Mazzorbo by a bridge. The current population of Burano is about 2,800. Originally, there were five islands and a fourth canal that was filled to become via e piazza Baldassare Galuppi, joining the former islands of San Martino Destra and San Martino Sinistra.
Burano has historically been subdivided into five sestieri, much like the historical center of Venice. They correspond to the five original islands. The sixth sestiere is neighboring Mazzorbo."

St Anthony's Church, Bowmans Road, Kings Park (formerly Marayong) was built for the workers at EPT (Electrical Power Transmission. The EPT site has now been subdivided for industrial purposes. The church, listed on the State Heritage Register, represents the development of Blacktown with industry after the post war migration and residential development of the area.
The main features of Roman theater derive in principle from those of Greek theater, since Roman architecture itself derives directly from Greek architecture of the Hellenistic period.
The first theaters were built of wood. They were overthrown after the event for which it was raised was completed. A law prevented the construction of permanent theaters. Thus, in 55 BC the Pompey Theater was erected with a temple in order to circumvent the legal fence.
Over time, Roman theaters developed specific characteristics. Most of those that have been preserved follow an architectural model proposed by Marco Vitrúvio, consisting of:
Front of the scene (Scenae frons), usually composed of a double row of columns.
Orchestra, semicircle before the proscenium, where the authorities sat.
Aditus, side aisles for entry into the orchestra.
Cavea (cavea), semi-circular structure where, according to the social scale, the spectators sat. It was subdivided into: inferior cavea (ima cavea), middle cavea (media cavea) and upper cavea (summa cavea).
Vomitories (Vomitory): Vaulted entrances through which access to the cavea facilitated the quick exit of the spectators.
Proscenium (proscaenium), space in front of the stage where the dramatic action took place.
Portico behind the scenery (porticus post scaenam), sort of columned patio, behind the scenery or stage.
Some theaters supported the vault over vaulted galleries, while in others the architects took advantage of the slope of some hill to excavate the vault of the theater. The theater could be covered with awnings to protect viewers from rain or sunlight. In addition to these basic facilities, many theaters kept small temples in their structure.
Seating for up to 2,000 people.
Marstall und Schlossvorwerk
Bei dem westwärts und ostwärts gerichteten Gebäude handelt es sich in der Dachgestaltung um Krüppelwalmdächer, die mit Dacherker untergliedert sind. Das nach Osten zeigende Wohngebäude enthält eine Gebäudedurchfahrt in Richtung der Schlossgärtnerei. Etwas abseits im Park befindet sich die ehemalige Reithalle von 1922/1923
The stables and castle outbuildings
The roof design of the west-facing and east-facing building is a half-hip roof, which is subdivided with roof bay windows. The residential building facing east contains a building passage in the direction of the castle gardens. A little further away in the park is the former riding hall from 1922/1923
This strikingly plumaged antpitta is both easily identified and one of the most easily seen among an extremely wary and notoriously shy family of birds. The chestnut-crowned antpitta ranges through the Andes from northern Venezuela south to central Peru, and is subdivided into seven subspecies, which differ mainly in the details of their head patterns. It has a broad elevational range, from 1,200 to 3,600 m, and occurs in all manner of forest types, but especially favors borders, clearings, second growth, patches of bamboo, and other disturbed habitats. The song of the chestnut-crowned antpitta is easily imitated, and these bold, inquisitive birds will readily approach the observer in response to human whistles. In some places, the birds will even become tame, feeding in car parks and other areas subject to much human activity. Being so widespread and relatively numerous, the chestnut-crowned antpitta is one of the better known members of the Grallariidae.
