Fuerte Bulnes, Punta Arenas, Chile
Fuerte Bulnes is a Chilean fort located by the Strait of Magellan, 62 km south of Punta Arenas. It was founded in 1843 on a rocky hill at Punta Santa Ana, under the command of President Manuel Bulnes Prieto.
The fort was built to further the president's colonization policies in Southern Chile and protect the Strait of Magellan. He directed construction to ward off claims by other nations. Chiloé's intendant (governor), Domingo Espiñeira Riesco, ordered construction of a schooner to sail to that location. He originally commissioned it in the president's name, but Bulnes had the ship renamed Goleta Ancud, for where it was built.
She sailed from Ancud on May 22, 1843, under command of Commander John Williams Wilson, Chilean Navy. (British-born, he joined the Chilean Navy in 1824, where he used a Hispanic version of his name and signed documents as Juan Guillermos.) He arrived at Punta Santa Ana on September 21, 1843, about 2 km from Puerto del Hambre. He directed the construction of a fort here, using mainly logs and dirt and grass 'bricks'.
Although the president wanted to establish a town, the harsh weather prevented attracting a large and stable population. As a result, after six years, the government founded Punta Arenas in the Sandy Point area in 1848. Once people had migrated there, military forces abandoned and destroyed the fort. Lieutenant Cambiazo supervised its burning.
Between 1941 and 1943, the government directed the fort to be reconstructed as a historic monument. The replica includes the church, chaplain's quarters, jail, powder magazine, post office and stables. It was declared a national monument in 1968. Today, it is administered by a private company.
A tragedy is not only when human or animal life is lost. A tragedy is also when a historic landmark is destroyed. And Notre Dame de Paris, was one of them. As a photographer highly interested in architecture, a day like today saddens me deeply. It's a shame to read in the 21st century that a building that sustained wars, sieges over the span of 600 years suffered so serious damage because some people were careless. I am not French, however I understand how a part of every French person got burned today.
Farewell Notre Dame..
Impressively preserved Roman theater
construction begun shortly after the change of Era, in the Julio-Claudian era, and it was inaugurated in the times of Titus and Vespasian, around 78 AD. C., as indicated by a large monumental inscription whose remains have appeared among the ruins.
I was trying to do something for valentine's day, but it's hard to be inspired by such a holiday when you don't have a significant other. :p
So instead, I of course did something completely opposite.

Just a way down the road from us, a huge tree had fallen across the neighbor's fence and had to be cut away. The fence was pretty much history.

This shot is in memory of HRH Prins Johan Friso who passed away 2 days ago after being in coma for a year and a half after he had a serious skiing accident. He used to be the patron of all windmills in the Netherlands. At the moment all the windmills are set in a specific state of mourning. Unfortunetely it is not the case in this shot,
Llegaremos, y a no tardar, a salir a la calle como si escapásemos de una jaula. Jaulas de oro, pero jaulas.
