Plusieurs centaines de salaries du secteur automobile ont manifeste au Salon de l'Automobile a Paris le 08/10/2010, a l'appel de la CGT, pour defendre les emplois, les salaires et les retraites. Hormis quelques heurts avec les forces de l'ordre a l'entree, la manifestation s'est deroule dans le calme.
Hundreds of workers from the automotive sector demonstrated at the Salon de l'Automobile, the indusytry's tradefair in Paris, on October 10, 2010, to defend their jobs, their wages and pensions. Except for a few clashes with the police at the entrance, the demonstration was peaceful.
Auerbachs Keller is the best known and second oldest restaurant in Leipzig, Germany. Already one of the city’s most important wine bars by the 16th century, it owes its worldwide reputation to Goethe's play Faust as the first place Mephistopheles takes Faust on their travels.
The present-day restaurant is located below the Mädlerpassage, a historic covered passage built from 1912 to 1914 at Grimmaische Straße 2 in Leipzig's historical district near the market.
Young Goethe often visited Auerbach’s Cellar while studying at Leipzig University from 1765 to 1768 and called it his favorite wine bar. He saw there two paintings on wood dating from 1625, one depicting the legendary magician and astrologer Johann Georg Faust drinking with students and the other showing him riding out the door astride a wine barrel, something he could have accomplished only with the help of the Devil. Goethe was already familiar with the Faust legend from his youth, since a puppet show Dr. Faust, was frequently performed at local street fairs. The scene Auerbach’s Cellar in Leipzig in his drama Faust I is his literary memorial to his student tavern and to the city, albeit an ironic one. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auerbachs_Keller

Stefi aka Romy, nowadays analogic art photographer & sculptor in Paris, former important co-operator in the Vintage Workshop® crew, showing her weird outlook ready for a special "mission" in Milano for a Vintage Workshop® exhibition event. (Will be revealed in the next upload ;-)
This spectatular woman, Stefi, is one of the smartest persons I've ever met in my life. She is a very serious & professional worker but also capable to put herself into discussion and, what has been most vital for me, she is able to let me laugh out loud and this virtue has been priceless for helping me directing successfully the Vintage Workshop® project. Stefi has assisted me in the development of about 10 exhibitions, especially in Milano and now she is at the top of her carreer as artist & art educator which makes me hugely proud of her.

The Venetian towers in the Spain's Square are known by this name because they are depicting the belltower of the Venetian Cathedral. They were designed by Ramón Reventós in 1928 as an entrance gate to the International Exhibition of 1929.
The Fira of Barcelona Acts as the main headquarters of the Barcelona Traide Fair organization, the Fira de Barcelona houses 180,000 square feet of exhibition space and has 2 million visitors a year.
The Old City Hall can truly be said to live up to its name - the cornerstone was laid in the year 1556. Since 1909, and still today, it has served as the Museum of City History.
The building includes a ballroom, which is 53 metres (174 ft.) long. It has been used in the past for the royal festivals of Saxon's princes, patrician weddings, craftwork festivals, and student balls. Court proceedings have also been carried out there. Currently, among other events, the ballroom is used by the City of Leipzig for cultural events and concerts. The market place is easily reachable via the City Tunnel. english.leipzig.de/leisure-culture-and-tourism/tourism/le...

Some of the very lovely promotional models at the biennial Latin America Aero & Defence (LAAD) International Exhibition in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where I was working last week. Maybe I am getting a little cynical, but isn’t it bizarre that we can make the business of killing our fellow man sexy?
...seen from Berlin Funkturm. More...
The Berliner Funkturm or Funkturm Berlin (Radio Tower Berlin) is a transmitting tower in Berlin, built between 1924 and 1926 by Heinrich Straumer. It is nicknamed "der lange Lulatsch" ("the lanky lad") and is one of the best-known points of interest in the city of Berlin.
It stands in the Berlin fairground in the Charlottenburg Wilmersdorf district. On September 3, 1926 the radio tower was inaugurated on the occasion of the 3. Große Deutsche Funkausstellung (third Great German radio exhibition). The tower is now a protected monument.
You have a wonderfull view over the city.....
The Mädler Passage offers what few buildings can, by bringing to life so impressively the architectural and historical grandeur of the renowned exhibition hub and trading centre that is Leipzig City. The history of this most significant of arcades was mostly shaped by two forward-thinking Leipzig business men, Dr. Heinrich Stromer von Auerbach and Anton Mädler, who succeeded in making the arcade the world-famous attraction it is today. Both men moulded the building in their own way and in their own era.
In 1525, Stromer von Auerbach, rector of Leipzig University, opened a wine bar in the Waldheim-Hummelhain courtyard. And because the business was so successful, he decided, five years later, to build the stately “Auerbach’s Hof” (or “Auberbach’s Courtyard”) exhibition hall in the same place. The existing cellar vaults were maintained and further used as a wine parlour.
In 1625, for the location’s 100-year anniversary, a relative of Stromer von Auerbach, council member Johann Vetzer, commissioned the restructuring of the exhibition hall. He wanted to create a new attraction in the wine cellar and hired the painter Andreas Brettschneider to produce two murals portraying the legend of Dr. Faustus. One panel features Faustus riding away upon a wine cask. The other shows him drinking with students in a Leipzig tavern. These paintings were dated “1525” in reference to the year these word-of-mouth events took place, and they became forevermore associated with Auerbach’s Cellar. This afforded the establishment increased notoriety which turned into global fame thanks to Goethe’s Faust.

Leipzig is the largest city in the federal state of Saxony, Germany. It lies at the confluence of the White Elster, Pleisse, and Parthe rivers at the southerly end of the North German Plain.
Leipzig has been a trade city since at least the time of the Holy Roman Empire. The city sits at the intersection of the Via Regia and Via Imperii, two important Medieval trade routes. Leipzig was once one of the major European centres of learning and culture in fields such as music and publishing. Leipzig became a major urban centre within the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) after World War II, but its cultural and economic importance declined despite East Germany being the richest economy in the Soviet Bloc.
Leipzig later played a significant role in instigating the fall of communism in Eastern Europe, through events, which took place in and around St. Nicholas Church. Since the reunification of Germany, Leipzig has undergone significant change with the restoration of some historical buildings, the demolition of others, and the development of a modern transport infrastructure. Leipzig today is an economic centre and the city in Germany with the highest quality of life, according to the GfK marketing research institution. Oper Leipzig is one of the most prominent opera houses in Germany.

The Thomaskirche (St. Thomas Church) is a Lutheran church in Leipzig, Germany. It is most famous as the place where Johann Sebastian Bach worked as a Kapellmeister, and as the location of his remains.
There has been a church at the current site of the Thomaskirche since the 12th century. Between 1212 and 1222 the preceding church became the new St. Thomas Monastery of the Augustinian order. In 1217, The Minnesinger, ortroubadour (see Minnesang), Heinrich von Morungen bequeathed to the church a relic of St. Thomas as he entered the order of canons after a trip to India. After several reconstructions (remains of an earlier Romanesque church were found during archaeological excavations), the current building, an example of late Gothic architecture, was consecrated by Thilo of Trotha, the Bishop of Merseburg, on April 10, 1496. The reformer Martin Luther preached here on Pentecost Sunday in 1539. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Thomas_Church,_Leipzig

The Thomaskirche (St. Thomas Church) is a Lutheran church in Leipzig, Germany. It is most famous as the place where Johann Sebastian Bach worked as a Kapellmeister, and as the location of his remains.
There has been a church at the current site of the Thomaskirche since the 12th century. Between 1212 and 1222 the preceding church became the new St. Thomas Monastery of the Augustinian order. In 1217, The Minnesinger, ortroubadour (see Minnesang), Heinrich von Morungen bequeathed to the church a relic of St. Thomas as he entered the order of canons after a trip to India.

The reformer Martin Luther preached here on Pentecost Sunday in 1539. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Thomas_Church,_Leipzig
The tower was first built in 1537 and reconstructed in 1702, leading to its current height of 68 meters.
The composer Johann Sebastian Bach was choir director at St. Thomas Church from 1723 until his death in 1750 and taught at its affiliated school. A statue of Johann Sebastian Bach by the Leipzig sculptor Carl Seffner that stands next to the church was dedicated in 1908.
On December 4, 1943, the tower was damaged in an Allied bombing raid on Leipzig, requiring repair. The roof of the church above the gothic rib vaulted ceiling is one of the steepest in Germany, with a roof pitch of 63 degrees. After the destruction of the Leipzig Johanneskirche in World War II, the remains of Johann Sebastian Bach were moved from there to the Thomaskirche in 1950. The current altar, installed in 1993, is the former Gothic altar of the Paulinerkirche, the church of the University of Leipzig, destroyed in 1968 by the Communist authorities.
In the 20th century, sulfur emitted from nearby coal mines, and other pollutants in the atmospheric air caused the deterioration of exterior stonework and statuary, and even of interior Gothic paintings. In addition, the roof structure suffered from damage due to insects and moisture. For these reasons, the church was listed in the 2000 World Monuments Watch by the World Monuments Fund.[1] Repairs were swiftly undertaken with financial support from the Fund and from American Express.
A statue of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, who lived in Leipzig from 1835 until his death in 1847, was dedicated on October 18, 2008, when it was re-erected across the St Thomas Church on the occasion of the year of his 200th birthday. The 6-meter (nearly 20 ft.) statue depicts the former Gewandhaus Orchestra director and composer in bronze. Celebratory speeches were given by Kurt Masur, also a former Gewandhaus Orchestra director, and Burkhard Jung, mayor of Leipzig. The original statue designed by Werner Stein was first dedicated on May 26, 1892. It had been located on the east side of the Gewandhaus until November 9, 1936, when it was taken down by the National Socialists (Nazis) because of the composer’s Jewish background.
The Thomanerchor, the choir of the Thomaskirche, was founded in 1212 and is one of the oldest and most famous boys' choirs in Germany. It is headed by the Thomaskantor, an office that has been held by many well-known composers and musicians, includingJohann Sebastian Bach from 1723 until his death in 1750.
Another notable feature of the Thomaskirche is that it contains two organs. The older one is a Romantic organ by Wilhelm Sauer, built from 1885–89. Since this organ is considered "unsuitable" for Bach's music, a second organ was built by Gerald Woehl's organ building company from 1999–2000. This "Bach organ" was designed to look similar to the old organ on which Bach had played in the Paulinerkirche.
There are four bells in the St. Thomas bell tower. The largest is the Gloriosa, which was cast by Theodericus Reinhard in 1477. It weighs 5200 kg, has a diameter of 2.04 meters, and a strike pitch of a°. It is used on days of celebration. The second largest bell was cast by Wolf Hilliger in 1574 and has a strike note of c′. The third largest bell is called either the Monks’ or Confessional Bell (Mönchs- oder Beichtglocke), which has a strike pitch of d′. Jakob König cast it in 1634 and it serves as the hourly bell. The fourth bell was cast by Christophorus Gros in 1585 and has a strike note of f″. Its resonance is dampened by shortened yokes from which it hangs. The tower lantern holds separately a bell that is rung each quarter hour. The Schilling bell foundry cast this bell in 1539 in Apolda. It was modelled on its predecessor.
