Pont du Gard was added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1985 on the criteria of "Human creative genius; testimony to cultural tradition; significance to human history”. The description on the list states: "The hydraulic engineers and ... architects who conceived this bridge created a technical as well as artistic masterpiece."
A little information
The Pont du Gard is a Roman monument built halfway through the 1st century AD. It is the principal construction in a 50 km long aqueduct that supplied the city of Nîmes, formerly known as Nemausus, with water. Built as a three-level aqueduct standing 50 m high, it allowed water to flow across the Gardon river.
Built on three levels, the Pont is 49 m high above the river at low water and 274 m long. Its width varies from 9 m at the bottom to 3 m at the top. The three levels of arches are recessed, with the main piers in line one above another. The span of the arches varies slightly, as each was constructed independently to provide flexibility to protect against subsidence. Each level has a differing number of arches.
The Pont du Gard was constructed largely without the use of mortar or clamps. It contains an estimated 50,400 tons of limestone some of the individual blocks weigh up to 6 tons. Most of the stone was extracted from the local quarry of Estel located approximately 700 metres downstream, on the banks of the Gardon River.[The coarse-grained soft reddish shelly limestone, known locally as "Pierre de Vers", lends itself very well to construction . Although the exterior of the Pont du Gard is rough and relatively unfinished, the builders took care to ensure that the interior of the water conduit was as smooth as possible so that the flow of water would not be obstructed. The walls of the conduit were constructed from dressed masonry and the floor from concrete. Both were covered with a stucco incorporating minute shards of pottery and tile. It was painted with olive oil and covered with maltha, a mixture of slaked lime, pork grease and the viscous juice of unripe figs. This produced a surface that was both smooth and durable.

My best friend Fiore Aka Bunny is part of this picture. testimony to a friendship that stood through storms. I wish her a funfilled and amazing holiday to come.
More testimony to my stubborn refusal to accept the widely offered advice to cull non-keepers, this image was taken more than two years ago, on 1/25/19. I was wandering through the old stuff and stumbled across it, and made a pretty good run at processing it. I like the lines, textures, and subtle colors, and I hope you do too.

The castle in the image is the "san Martino Castle". It has very ancient and incertain origins. The first testimonies of its existence data back to the sixth century. For many years it was seat of local nobles such dukes and counts, but for about a thousand year it has been a bishopric. For this reason, among the local population, it is known also as the " Bishop Castle "
The territorial expansion towards Chinchaysuyo (now Ecuador) took place towards the middle of the 15th century and culminated in the first decades of the 16th. It was initiated by the Inca Tupac Yupanqui, son of Pachacuti Inca, the "renovator of the universe" and true builder of the Tahuantinsuyo or Empire of the Incas. The example of the great Tupac Yupanqui was followed by his son Huayna Cápac, until he submitted under his power the entire "universe" then known, with more than 6,000 kilometers of North-South extension and fundamentally affecting the people of the Sierra, since they felt no interest in the low plains of the West Coast and in the endless Amazon rainforests of the East. This empire included on the one hand the widest diversity of peoples, cultures, languages, cults and technologies, and on the other an extraordinary variety of ecological resources; factors with which thanks to an administrative, economic and theocratic system imposed by the Cuzqueños, the largest civilization that has existed in Andean History was structured.
The Incas had no major difficulty in dominating the Cañaris and Puruháes (in Ecuador) with whom they applied a very common strategy in them: the friendly system of reciprocity with the heads of the groups until they achieved their subordination; This method had given them rapid and successful results in Bolivia and Peru; while in the northern villages they had to apply the severe military conquest due to the stubborn resistance they encountered. Testimony of those fierce battles was precisely that of Yahuarcocha (lake of blood) whose waters were dyed red with the blood of the brave Caranquis who succumbed to Huayna Cápac himself.
The invaders captured from the conquered the long tradition and knowledge they had about agriculture, metallurgy, production of luxury products, extraction of the Spondylus shell, salt, coca, etc. Here they found a prodigal nature, with humid rainforest, mangroves and coastline on the coast; wide valleys, grasslands and fertile mountains in the Sierra. This geography counteracted with the ecological systems of the puna, reduced fertile spaces, or the extensive coastal deserts that predominate in the Central and Southern Andes, characteristic of present-day Peru.

Look over yonder,
Apollo at a distance
You can hear his music
if you listen to the wind
I want to be there -
I want to be right there
I want to see it
with my own eyes
Bear witness,
I'm wailing like the wind
Come bear witness,
the half-breed rides again
In these hands,
I've held the broken dream
In my soul,
I'm howling at the moon
Testimony, testimony
Declare yourself - I will testify
Testimony, testimony
Speak the truth, I will testify
I had a revelation
like runaway horses
Took to the road
with a carnival show
Those golden days
on Smokey Mountain
Playing guitar
in a one man band
Bear witness,
I'm howling at the moon
Come bear witness,
I've danced among the ruins
In these shoes,
I've walked a crooked mile
All my life
I been searching for the nightbird
Testimony, testimony
Declare yourself - I will testify
Testimony, testimony
Speak the truth, I will testify
Are you ready to take the heat
Are you ready to blow the steam
Are you ready to bag the street
You got nothing to lose - but your chains
For forty days
and forty nights
I come across the desert
Apollo right by my side
Bear witness,
I'm wailing like the wind
Come bear witness,
the half-breed rides again
In these hands,
I've held the broken dream
In my soul,
I'm howling at the moon
World's first steam powered clock
Historic Gastown
Vancouver, British Columbia
Canada
The insides of this clock is where the magic begins....
Built in 1977. Raymond Saunders' first steam clock was built in 1977 to solve the issue of a steam vent in a popular sidewalk for the renovated Gastown district of Vancouver. Owned by the City of Vancouver, BC Canada
The steam clock's plaque reads:
THE GASTOWN STEAM CLOCK
Designed and built by
Raymond L. Saunders
Horologist
The world's first steam powered clock has been created for the enjoyment of everyone. The live steam winds the weights and blows the whistles. Every 4.5 minutes one steel weight will travel by steam power to the top of the clock. The gravity driven "falling ball" drive was 'engineered' by Douglas L. Smith. Each quarter hour the clock will sound the Westminster Chimes. The large whistle will sound once on the hour. The steam is supplied by the underground system of Central Heat Distributor's Limited. The component parts cost $42,000 and the clock weighs over two tons.
A few years ago the clock was refit and is not entirely steam powered. It also has three small electric motors to help operate two internal fans, one of which blows the steam out the top, and another that controls the valves that play the tunes on the five steam whistles mounted atop the clock case.
The large central whistle, which was taken off the CPR steam tug Naramata, counts off the full hours while the four auxiliary whistles chime the Westminster Quarters every quarter hour. The number of chimes matches the number of quarter hours that have passed.

UNESCO: A cluster of dozens of islands centred on Vega, just south of the Arctic Circle, forms a cultural landscape of 103,710 ha, of which 6,930 ha is land. The islands bear testimony to a distinctive frugal way of life based on fishing and the harvesting of the down of eider ducks, in an inhospitable environment. There are fishing villages, quays, warehouses, eider houses (built for eider ducks to nest in), farming landscapes, lighthouses and beacons. There is evidence of human settlement from the Stone Age onwards. By the 9th century, the islands had become an important centre for the supply of down, which appears to have accounted for around a third of the islanders’ income. The Vega Archipelago reflects the way fishermen/farmers have, over the past 1,500 years, maintained a sustainable living and the contribution of women to eiderdown harvesting.
Factory building, Roche Bau 27, 1936/37, Otto Rudolf Salvisberg; from 1951 extension by Roland Rohn
The building is considered an important testimony to Swiss industrial architecture in the formal language of New Building. The building, which was extended by Roland Rohn (1905-1971), is an ideal embodiment of the architectural corporate identity created for Roche and taken up again by Herzog & de Meuron. In 1953 Roland Rohn extended this building to the south in keeping with Salvisberg's architectural language and created the end of the Roche site to form Solitudepark.
Betriebsgebäude, Roche Bau 27, 1936/37, Otto Rudolf Salvisberg; ab 1951 Erweiterung durch Roland Rohn
Der Bau gilt als bedeutendes Zeugnis der Schweizer Industriearchitektur in der Formensprache des Neuen Bauens. Das von Roland Rohn (1905–1971) erweiterte Bauwerk verkörpert idealtypisch die für Roche geschaffene architektonische Corporate Identity wie sie von Herzog & de Meuron wieder aufgegriffen wurde. 1953 hat Roland Rohn diesen Bau ganz im Sinne der Salvisbergschen Architektursprache nach Süden erweitert und den Abschluss des Roche-Areals zum Solitudepark geschaffen.

The Roche Tower (Building 1), also known as Roche Tower, is a high-rise building in the Swiss city of Basel. The building is the headquarters of the pharmaceutical group Hoffmann-La Roche, which is also the owner and developer of the building. At 178 metres, the Roche Tower clearly surpasses the 126-metre-high Prime Tower in Zurich, which was previously the highest high-rise building in Switzerland. However, the country's tallest free-standing building is still the St. Chrischona television tower, 250 metres high and only a few kilometres from Basel. The high-rise building serves purely operational purposes and is not accessible to the public. The Roche Tower, designed by architects Herzog & de Meuron, was built as part of an extensive structural restructuring of the Basel headquarters, which from 2021 will also include Building 2, which is currently under construction at 205 metres.
Der Roche-Turm (Bau 1), auch Roche Tower, ist ein Hochhaus in der Schweizer Stadt Basel. Das Gebäude ist Hauptsitz des Pharmakonzerns Hoffmann-La Roche, der auch Eigentümer und Bauherr des Bauwerks ist. Mit 178 m übertrifft der Roche-Turm deutlich den 126 Meter hohen Prime Tower in Zürich, das zuvor höchste Hochhaus der Schweiz. Das höchste freistehende Gebäude des Landes ist jedoch weiterhin der nur wenige Kilometer von Basel entfernte Fernsehturm St. Chrischona mit 250 Metern. Das Hochhaus dient rein betrieblichen Zwecken und ist öffentlich nicht zugänglich. Der von den Architekten Herzog & de Meuron entworfene Roche-Turm entstand im Rahmen einer umfangreichen baulichen Neustrukturierung des Basler Stammsitzes, zu dem ab 2021 auch der auf 205 Meter im Bau befindliche Bau 2 gehören soll.

Mevagissey is one of my favourite fishing villages in Cornwall. Its twin working harbours with a few dozen small fishing boats sit between steep hillsides in the south of Cornwall. It has a tradition of boat building dating back to 1745. Many of the old buildings, constructed of cob and slate, bear testimony to a time when the large shoals of pilchards were the livelihood of the whole village. Smuggling also provided a living for many.
The inner harbour (pictured) is built on the site of a medieval quay. The first Act of Parliament allowing the new port to be built was passed in 1774, and the harbour dates from this time. The outer harbour was added in 1888.
Sucevița Monastery is an Eastern Orthodox convent situated in the Northeastern part of Romania. It is situated near the Suceviţa River, in the village Sucevița, 18 km away from the city of Rădăuţi, Suceava County. It is located in the southern part of the historical region of Bukovina (northwestern Moldavia). It was built in 1585 by Ieremia Movilă, Gheorghe Movilă andSimion Movilă.[1]
The architecture of the church contains both Byzantine and Gothic elements, and some elements typical to other painted churches of northern Moldavia. Both interior and exterior walls are covered by mural paintings, which are of great artistic value and depict biblical episodes from the Old and New Testament. The paintings date from around 1601, which makes Sucevița one of the last monasteries to be decorated in the famous Moldavian style of exterior paintings.
The interior court of the monastic ensemble is almost square (100 by 104 meters) and is surrounded by high (6 m), wide (3 m) walls. There are several other defensive structures within the ensemble, including four towers (one in each corner). Sucevița was a princely residence as well as a fortified monastery. The thick walls today shelter a museum that presents an outstanding collection of historical and art objects. The tomb covers of Ieremia and Simion Movilă – rich portraits embroidered in silver thread – together with ecclesiastical silverware, books and illuminated manuscripts, offer eloquent testimony to Sucevița's importance first as a manuscript workshop, then as a printing center.
In 2010, the monastery has been inscribed by UNESCO on its list of World Heritage Sites, as one of the Painted churches of Moldavia.

[HAS VENIDO PARA VER LOS ÁRBOLES…]
Has venido para ver los árboles, la luz que se filtra
entre las hojas, el agua.
Has venido para escuchar el canto del grillo y de los
pájaros.
Eres testimonio de algo que brilla en la sombra y
nunca ha dicho nada.

[YOU HAVE COME TO SEE THE TREES…]

The Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex (German Zeche Zollverein) is a large former industrial site in the city of Essen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
The first coal mine on the premises was founded in 1847, and mining activities took place from 1851 until December 23, 1986. For decades, starting in the late 1950s, the two parts of the site, Zollverein Coal Mine and Zollverein Coking Plant (erected 1957–1961, closed on June 30, 1993), ranked among the largest of their kinds in Europe. Shaft 12, built in the New Objectivity style, was opened in 1932 and is considered an architectural and technical masterpiece, earning it a reputation as the "most beautiful coal mine in the world".
Because of its architecture and testimony to the development of heavy industry in Europe, the industrial complex was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List on December 14, 2001, and is one of the anchor points of the European Route of Industrial Heritage.
I will never see you tamed even if you feel the howl is over of your incessant song and know that within your cry it will always be that gesture of mine that you deplore.
I will never feel more for you than I feel for myself
and there are things inside this love things that could make us wake up nudes and children again.
Deliver us from such horror. Because if I had to return I would choose this house,because if I had to die again I would choose your mind as an epitaph and testimony. I'm not going to say here what I didn't say then,and I will regret that.

The grandeur of the Vatican is revealed in its details. The dome, the sculptures, the reliefs... each element tells a story, a testimony to the faith and art that come together in this sacred place.
It was during a hike on the customs path at Cap Fréhel that I was struck by this explosion of colors. The heather blooms were at their peak, transforming the coastal moors into a purple carpet undulating in the sea breeze. I was specifically looking for this time of year when Breton nature reveals this particular palette.
In composing this panoramic image, I wanted to create a dialogue between three elements: the heather in the foreground, whose vibrant hues seem almost unreal; the blue immensity of the sea stretching in the middle; and the iconic Fort la Latte outlined in the distance, a discrete testimony to human history in this landscape dominated by natural forces.
The light was perfect that day, with clouds filtering the sun intermittently, creating variations of luminosity on the water and cliffs. I deliberately framed wide to capture the magnitude of this landscape and that sensation of space that overwhelms you when facing the sea from these vertiginous heights.
What particularly touches me about this place is the perfect harmony between the harshness of the elements - the steep cliffs, the constant marine winds - and the delicacy of these small flowers that manage to transform the entire landscape through their collective presence. It's this wild and flowering Brittany, between land and sea, that I wanted to immortalize.
Excerpt from www.visitantwerpcity.com/grote-markt-antwerp.html:
The Guild Halls
Opposite the city hall, on both sides of the Grote Markt Antwerp, you will see a row of beautiful guildhalls.
These houses were very typical in the 16th and 17th century.
Every house was connected to a certain guild that was built to show off their power, status and wealth.
That’s why you see on top of the guildhalls those amazing golden statues that are related to their specific guild.
The largest guildhall is named the ‘Pand van Spanje’, which means the house of Spain. You will recognize it at the chevalier on its horse that is just ready to kill the dragon that is climbing up. The Horseman is Saint Joris.
Truth to be told, only a few guildhalls are original. House numbers 24, 38 and 40 are authentic. They have been renovated to show their original beauty again.
The other houses are actually replicas from houses that were there before. These were built in the 19th and 20th century and were based on old paintings and testimonies. Some houses were based on houses that used to be elsewhere in the city.
All the guildhalls on the Grote Markt Antwerp are built in a Renaissance style with a few Gothic elements like the pinnacles, that are so typical for Belgium and the Netherlands.

Sighisoara - its historical center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, an outstanding testimony to the culture of the Transylvanian Saxons, a culture that is coming to a close after 850 years and will continue to exist only through its architectural and urban monuments.
Founded by German craftsmen and merchants known as the Saxons of Transylvania, Sighişoara is a fine example of a small, fortified medieval town which played an important strategic and commercial role on the fringes of central Europe for several centuries.

Das Große Blumenbeet ist das traditionelle Markenzeichen des egaparks und gleichzeitig Europas größtes ornamental bepflanztes Blumenbeet.
The Great Flowerbed is the traditional signature feature of th egapark and Europe's largest ornamentally planted flowerbed.
Der egapark (ega: Erfurter Gartenbauausstellung) gehört mit einer Fläche von 36 Hektar zu den großen Garten- und Freizeitparks Deutschlands. Das Parkgelände liegt im Südwesten der Stadt auf dem 265 Meter hohen Cyriaksberg. Aus der ehemaligen Zitadelle Cyriaksburg hervorgegangen, wurde das Gebiet ab 1885 zur öffentlichen Grünanlage umgestaltet und in der Folgezeit weiter ausgebaut. Nach einer ersten Gartenschau im Jahr 1950 fand ab 1961 mit der regelmäßig veranstalteten Internationalen Gartenbauausstellung (iga) die größte und bedeutendste Veranstaltung dieser Art in der DDR und im sozialistischen Lager statt. Der wegen seiner einzigartigen gartenbaulichen Gestaltungskonzeption seit 1992 denkmalgeschützte Park zählt zu den Hauptwerken des Landschaftsarchitekten Reinhold Lingner und gehört zu den bedeutendsten Zeugnissen der Gartenarchitektur der 1960er Jahre in Deutschland. Dieser Park bildet das Kernstück der BUGA 2021 in Erfurt.

With an area of 36 hectares, egapark (ega: Erfurt Horticultural Exhibition) is one of Germany's large garden and leisure parks. The park area is located in the south-west of the city on the 265-metre-high Cyriaksberg (St. Cyriacus' Hill). Emerging from the former Cyriaksburg citadel, the area was transformed into a public green space from 1885 and subsequently further developed. After a first garden show in 1950, the International Horticultural Exhibition (iga), held regularly from 1961 onwards, was the largest and most important event of its kind in the GDR (East Germany) and the East Block. The park, which has been a listed monument since 1992 because of its unique horticultural design concept, is one of the main works of the landscape architect Reinhold Lingner and is one of the most important testimonies to the garden architecture of the 1960s in Germany.This park is the centrepiece of BUGA 2021 in Erfurt.
