Trakai Castle is located on the largest island of Lake Galve. It was commanded to build from great prince Witold in 1404-1408, in addition to the already existing castle on the peninsula. The previous building was repeatedly damaged as a result of fights with the Teutonic Knights, therefore the new castle was to provide support for the older Trotsky castle. In this period, Trakai was an important center of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
Soon after the battle of Grunwald in 1410, the castle began to lose its military significance. The former fortress was transformed into a princely residence. Władysław Jagiełło visited the castle several times, and Witold died in the castle in 1430.
Starting from the seventeenth century, the castle fell into ruin. During the wars with Moscow, he was ruined and reconstruction plans were created in the 19th century.
The first conservation work was carried out in the years 1029-30, but the real reconstruction began only after the Second World War. The castle after reconstruction represents the Gothic style, according to the supposed state of the fifteenth century. It is a major tourist attraction in Lithuania.

Zamek w Trokach położony jest na największej z trzech wysp jeziora Galwe. Polecił go wybudować wielki książę Witold w latach 1404-1408, jako uzupełnienie już istniejącego zamku na półwyspie. Wcześniejsza budowla była wielokrotnie uszkodzona w wyniku walk z Krzyżakami, dlatego nowy zamek miał stanowić wsparcie dla starszego trockiego zamku. Troki były w tym okresie ważnym ośrodkiem Wielkiego Księstwa Litewskiego.
Wkrótce po bitwie pod Grunwaldem w 1410 zamek zaczął tracić swoje znaczenie wojskowe. Dawna twierdza została przekształcona w rezydencję książęcą. W zamku kilkakrotnie gościł Władysław Jagiełło, zaś Witold zmarł na terenie zamku w 1430.
Począwszy od XVII wieku zamek popadał w ruinę. W czasie wojen z Moskwą został zrujnowany, a plany odbudowy powstały w XIX wieku.
Pierwsze prace konserwatorskie wykonano w latach 1029-30, ale prawdziwą rekonstrukcję rozpoczęto dopiero po II wojnie światowej. Zamek po odbudowie reprezentuje styl gotycki, według domniemanego stanu z XV wieku. Stanowi on dużą atrakcję turystyczna na terenie Litwy.
"It was a beautiful, bright autumn day, with air like cider and a sky so blue you could drown in it."
– Diana Gabaldon
Every morning I take a walk through my neighborhood and find very few brightly colored leaves. Here's to capturing all the colors of nature before they transform.
Levalet
Figure montante de l’art urbain, Levalet a investi la rue par l’installation de personnages à échelle humaine
au langage corporel expressif .
Cinéma, mime, théâtre d’improvisation nourrissent son travail pour donner naissance à une compagnie de
comédiens qui interagit avec le passant. Cette démarche illusionniste est un jeu de rôles qui semble croqué
sur le vif, de préférence à l’encre sur papier.
Collés ensuite dans la rue, les dessins de Levalet interpellent par leur trait caractéristique, leur décalage,
leur poésie, leur imagination et la pertinence d’un contexte toujours choisi avec soin.
Chaque installation raconte ainsi une histoire habile entre humour et questionnement et transforme
l’espace public en scènes inattendues aux sens multiples.

You already know this beautiful beech tree that has been transformed by frost into a work of art.
But this time we want to focus entirely on it. Without distraction from grass in the foreground or the surrounding area.
Because in my opinion it is an absolute feast for the eyes with this network of branches covered in ice and snow.
And therefore it is a particularly beautiful Christmas tree and definitely belongs in this series. And all this without lighting and colorful tree decorations.
Because true natural (and unvarnished) beauty doesn't need anything like that.
Diese wunderschöne vom Frost zu einem Kunstwerk verwandelte Buche kennt Ihr ja schon.
Doch dieses Mal wollen wir uns ganz auf sie konzentrieren. Ohne Ablenkung durch Gräser im Vordergrund oder die weitere Umgebung.
Denn meiner Meinung nach ist sie, mit diesem Geflecht aus mit Eis und Schnee überzogenen Ästen eine absolute Augenweide.
Und somit ist sie ein ganz besonders schöner Weihnachtbaum und gehört unbedingt in diese Reihe. Und das ganz ohne Beleuchtung und bunten Baumdekoration.
Denn wahre natürliche (und ungeschminkte) Schönheit braucht so etwas nicht.

Plant ornament is the most widespread ornament after geometric, it is characterized by its favorite motifs, and the latter are different in different countries, at different times. Plant ornament, in comparison with other types, provides the greatest opportunities for creating a variety of motifs, execution techniques, for an original interpretation of form. Plant ornament uses numerous forms of plants: leaves, flowers, fruits, taken together or separately. This is an artistic reworking of various forms of the plant world. In the hands of an ornamental artist, the original forms, scales, colors change and are subordinated according to the laws of symmetry. In stylization, all typical features of the plant are enhanced in accordance with its character, and the particular or accidental are removed or weakened. Often these changes are so significant that the original material is transformed beyond recognition. The most common plant forms since ancient times include: acanthus, lotus, papyrus, palms, hops, laurel, grapevine, ivy, oak.
Орнамент купольного пілону. Храм на честь ікони Божої Матері «Печерська». Скит Києво-Печерської Лаври.
Рослинний орнамент - це найпоширеніший орнамент після геометричного, для нього характерні свої улюблені мотиви, причому останні різні в різних країнах, у різні часи. Рослинний орнамент у порівнянні з іншими його видами надає найбільші можливості для створення різноманітних мотивів, прийомів виконання, для оригінального трактування форми.
Рослинний орнамент використовує численні форми рослин: листя, квіти, плоди, взяті разом чи окремо. Це художня переробка різноманітних форм рослинного світу. У руках художника-орнаменталіста початкові форми, масштаби, колір змінюються і підпорядковуються за законами симетрії.
При стилізації посилюються відповідно до характеру рослини всі типові особливості її та видаляється або послаблюється окреме або випадкове. Часто ці зміни настільки значні, що початковий матеріал перетворюється до невпізнанності.
До найпоширеніших рослинних форм з найдавніших часів відносяться: акант, лотос, папірус, пальми, хміль, лавр, виноградна лоза, плющ, дуб.
An unforgettable morning in Patagonia's Torres del Paine National Park.

Macro Mondays
{BAM 17 of 52}
Theme: Transformation
I normally don't wear this much make-up but when I do I can honestly say I feel transformed. lol
Happy Macro Monday everyone! Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
By the way my eyebrows are having a bad day lol
My local pier, which is no longer in use, has fallen into a state of disrepair. I still see it as a thing of beauty and interest. I captured this image at sunrise yesterday and although there was little colour, due to the impending rain clouds, the Long Exposure gave some lovely movement in the sky and smoothed the water nicely. Beauty from something which at first glance, was not so beautiful.
Super-Padd has almost recovered from the accident.
He was on his way to Mummy Marian's house when he collided with the sliding door on landing. He was unconscious for a while and suffered from paw problems.
He now wants to meet Paddy, Daddy Jesse and all the other bears who live in Australia.
Peter told Super-Padd about the secret magical portal in Mummy Marian's garden and also told him when you go through the portal you are in Australia.
But..because S-Padd is too big, he cannot go through the portal.
Peter asked for help from the fairy-mother.
She came immediately with fairy-dust.
Peter took Super-Padd to the agreed place in the garden after sunset.....
SUPER-PADD:
I do find it a bit scary Peter.
I don't know what's happening.
PETER:
Have faith in the Fairy Mother....look...there she is already!!!!
FAIRY-MOTHER:
I don't have much time Peter and Super-Padd. So if you stay still, I'll do the spell and sprinkle fairy-dust all over you Super-Padd. Then you can go through the gate.
It takes a few seconds to transform.
If there are any problems, you can send me an app.
Here we go....
Fairy Mother does the spell...sprinkles fairydust all over Super-Padd.
After that, she disappeared.
The fairy-dust circles around Super-Padd. Fog forms...a thud....and....
PETER:
Huh....Super Padd....where are you???????
SUPER-PADD: (replies in a small voice)
Here Peter!!!
Boy are you big! What happened to you?????

. As if by magic turning mud into flowers

"Le lotus, ami des eaux dormantes, plonge ses racines dans la fange. Le bel élan de ses tiges porteuses de larges feuilles évidées comme des coupes, la carnation lumineuse de ses fleurs ne laissent rien soupçonner de cette origine innommable. Ainsi incarne-t-il aux yeux des Chinois la pureté triomphante, qui transmue comme par enchantement la boue en fleurs"
(François Cheng, poète français né en Chine en 1929)
‘The lotus, a friend of still waters, plunges its roots into the mire. The beautiful slenderness of its stems, which bear broad leaves hollowed out like cups, and the luminous complexion of its flowers give no hint of this unspeakable origin. To the Chinese, it is the embodiment of triumphant purity, transforming mud into flowers as if by magic’.
Beauty is all around us if we pay a little attention to it. A simple ray of sunlight can transform an insignificant landscape into a magnificent one.
Excerpt from www.mtr.com.hk/en/customer/community/art_archi_wanchai.html:
Art in station architecture
Artwork Title:
This is Wan Chai
Artist Name:
Jevan Chowdhury
Location:
Wan Chai Station
Artwork Completion Date:
March 2020
Concept:
“This is Wan Chai” is an observation of the theatrical stage that everyday life presents, as seen through the lens of magical realism. Images of Wan Chai’s iconic heritage are enriched by the performances of over 40 principal, soloist, coryphée and corps de ballet dancers from the Hong Kong Ballet as well as members of the public. Spanning a length of approximately 150 metres, the artwork reimagines and reinvents the station as a public space at the heart of the local community. In this way, the station is transformed into a living stage of choreographed street scenes that commuters play their part in as they pass through.
“This is Wan Chai” is part of the “Moving Cities” series. Commissioned by MTR Corporation and jointly initiated with Hong Kong Design Centre, it was made in collaboration with Hong Kong Ballet, Treacle Media, UK’s Department for International Trade and Conran + Partners. Moving Cities is part of an on-going global inventory of film and photographic work in which world cities are transcribed through dance.
One afternoon last week, the light was intense coming through trees over our parking lot. I thought I'd try a multiple exposure, having not done one in a long time. And then, the image above was enhanced with Topaz software.
It's gotten hot in Jerusalem with the temperature nudging 90/f this afternoon. Hope you are having a warm and productive day.

In the Gothic church on Mont St Michel.
...
The key is turned and people stream in, we arrive back in the refectory, transformed into a music-room, red carpet on the floor, a clavecimble in place and a young musician tuning it, we hang around, she starts to play, it is brilliant!
Very beautiful, you get ‘enveloped’ by the sounds…
We decide to continue, we hear other instruments in the distance, we are curious. Via another way, we arrive back in the church, the monks and nuns have left, the familiar scent and smoke of the incense lingers heavily in bands across the high vaulted ceiling, off-setting the rays of incoming sunlight, it is awesome!
Feverishly I take more images, the sun might go… the incense is thinning...
Have a glorious day and thanx, M, (*_*)
