Le château fort " la Rocca Scaligera" de Malcesine au NE du lac de Garde était une forteresse militaire jusqu'au XIX è siècle lorsqu' il fut transformé en musée .
C' est la famille Scaligeri qui dota cette ville du château , construit à partir du XIII è siècle , bien que cette tour soit encore plus ancienne .
Cette forteresse fut aussi utilisée comme garnison par les autrichiens puis comme prison italienne , après l'annexion de Malcesine à l' Italie en 1866 .

Otrobanda (meaning ‘the other side’) is on the opposite side of St. Anna Bay. This district was developed in the 18th century. The main shopping street in Otrobanda is the Breedestraat. You can find this street between Kura Hulanda and the Riffort. Kura Hulanda is one of the best restorations of Otrobanda. An entire section of Otrobanda’s dilapidated slum was transformed into a magnificently renovated historical district, the best example of Dutch colonial architecture in the Caribbean.

Flower macro transformed into a gateau. There is always a reason to celebrate ;-))
Have a nice start of the weekend!
Seasons slowly transform from one to the other right in front of our eyes..sometimes subtlety, others blatantly... finding gratitude in whatever form it arrives ...

The imposing geology of the Giant's Causeway, Antrim, Northern Ireland.
The Giant's Causeway, located in County Antrim, on the northeast coast of Northern Ireland, is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic eruption. The tops of the columns form stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea. Most of the columns are hexagonal, although there are also some with four, five, seven and eight sides. The tallest are about 12 metres high, and the solidified lava in the cliffs is 28 metres thick in places.
-Alphonse de Lamartine
Another New Year's Resolution suggestion. "I promise to spend time being inspired by music and letting it move me into a better relationship with a friend."
Music can be a powerful thing. It can transform us. It is the universal language that we can all understand and that is what makes it so very special. You would be surprised how listening to music with someone can grow a bond.
For me, listening to music with loved ones is deep rooted. Putting on records for my grandma and sitting quietly together, holding hands and smiling at each other as we listened intently was some of my fondest memories of time spent with her.
Imagine what it can do for you. You're on a road trip with someone who you don't know how to talk to. You hear a song you both like and suddenly you both are singing the lyrics out loud. This act breaks the awkward silence and gives you both common ground. :) Think about the possibilities music can add to your life. They are infinite. Happy listening!
1. I promise to do one nice thing for a person each day.
2. I promise to reach out to someone I have not in a long time.
3. I promise to spend time being inspired by music and letting it move me into a better relationship with a friend.
365: the 2022 Edition 7/365
Le châtelet d’entrée a été transformé en musée et le château Egeskov slot est situé au Egeskov Gade 18, Kværndrup, île de Fionie au Danemark.
Une vue à partir des jardins du château.
Majestueux et privé, le château, débuté au 14e siècle, a été achevé en 1554 sur une île, au milieu d'un lac bordé d'une forêt. Sa construction sur une grande quantité de pilotis de chêne aurait « coûté la vie à toute une forêt de chênes », d'où son nom Egeskov signifiant forêt de chênes. Ce château Renaissance à vocation initialement défensive est passé aux mains des ancêtres de l'actuel propriétaire en 1784. Celui-ci, le comte Ahlefeldt-Laurving-Bille, un grand collectionneur d'engins mécaniques l'habite toujours et le château n'est visitable qu'en partie.
Le château est reconnu en Europe comme le mieux préservé des châteaux Renaissance bâtis sur une île. On y admire notamment la Grande Salle de banquet, restaurée en 1975, et, disséminés ici et là, des trophées de chasse rapportés d'Afrique par l'avant-dernier propriétaire. À proximité, un musée de 3 000 m2, créé par le propriétaire, présente sa collection de voitures anciennes, d'avions, de motos et de voitures à chevaux.
Mais ce sont les jardins privés du domaine de 15 ha, créés au 18e siècle et entourant le château, qui constitue son joyau. Les jardins ont évolué grandement au fil des ans mais le plan date de 1730 lorsque Niels Krag conçut le jardin à la française qui en 1962 fut remplacé par le jardin actuel de style Renaissance par le français Ferdinant Duprat avec ses topiaires en forme de pyramide et de spirales. Un pont-levis datant de la fin du 19e siècle relie le château à une superbe avant-cour où errent des paons blancs. On découvre au-delà une partie des 750 ha de terres cultivées qui font depuis longtemps la fortune d'Egeskov.
Bingley becomes a winter wonderland..unless you were stuck in the traffic for hours. The snow has broken many branches off the still-leaf-covered-trees. A morning walk of great sanity to avoid the news.

Visite 2021 au Domaine des Trois Vents, une mini ferme transformé en mini zoo qui grandit de plus en plus.
Thanks to Karol for all the interesting information which I copied here: ".... a splendid Gothic palace named La Conciergerie built under King Philip the Fair, later transformed into a revolutionary prison. "
about the history of this building:"La Conciergerie built under King Philip the Fair, later transformed into a revolutionary prison.“
During my education I went twice on a week-long study trip to Paris with the class. The first trip was in 1974.
I had my first SLR camera , an Asahi Pentax SP II which I bought second hand from my long time and hardly saved pocket money, and only one slide film roll with 36 exposures with me! My pocket money wasn't enough for more.
The film material has suffered a lot over the years, but I only have a small selection here for those friends who are interested in seeing what it was like in Paris at the time.
I took the photo with an analogue Asahi Pentax SP II (M42) camera and slide film, then scanned with a Nikon Coolscan LS 40ED film scanner
DE:
Ich war zweimal während meiner Ausbildung mit der Klasse auf eine einwöchige Studienreise in Paris.
Das erste Mal war 1974. Ich hatte meine erste Spiegelreflex Kamera , eine Asahi Pentax SP II gebraucht von meinem lang ersparten Taschengeld erworben dabei mit nur einem Dia Film mit 36 Aufnahmen! Für mehr hatte mein Taschengeld nicht gereicht
Das Filmmaterial hat in den Jahren sehr gelitten, ich habe hier nur eine kleine Auswahl für die Freunde die interessiert sind zu sehen wie es damals in Paris aussah.

The American flag blowing in the wind near a window captured here reflecting and distorting in the glass of an old chalk drawing hanging on the living room wall. The soft vertical lines reflected in the glass are from vertical blinds.
It's a lazy photograph, you might say. I snapped it while sitting on the couch.

Sol LeWitt was one of the main figures of his time; he transformed the process of art-making by questioning the fundamental relationship between an idea, the subjectivity of the artist, and the artwork a given idea might produce. While many artists were challenging modern conceptions of originality, authorship, and artistic genius in the 1960s, LeWitt denied that approaches such as Minimalism, Conceptualism, and Process Art were merely technical or illustrative of philosophy.
In his Paragraphs on Conceptual Art, LeWitt asserted that Conceptual art was neither mathematical nor intellectual but intuitive, given that the complexity inherent to transforming an idea into a work of art was fraught with contingencies.
LeWitt's art is not about the singular hand of the artist; it is the idea behind each work that surpasses the work itself. In the early 21st century, LeWitt's work, especially the wall drawings, has been critically acclaimed for its economic perspicacity.
Though modest—most exist as simple instructions on a sheet of paper—the drawings can be made again and again and again, anywhere in the world, without the artist needing to be involved in their production.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sol_LeWitt
Sol LeWitt was seminal in establishing the notion of ‘conceptual art’ during the 1960s. Wall Drawing #1136 Curved and straight color bands 2004 is one of a number of highly coloured wall pieces he made. It includes seven vibrant colours to create an overwhelming chromatic environment that envelopes the viewer. The curve, snakes along the wall. Every band in the wall drawing is of the same width and there is no area left empty of colour.
It has been produced for Tate St Ives by a team of draftspersons, guided by an assistant from the artist’s estate.
The striking exterior of the National Swimming Center , being constructed for the 2008 Olympic Games and nicknamed, the "Water Cube," is made from panels of a lightweight form of Teflon that transforms the building into an energy-efficient greenhouse-like environment. Solar energy will also be used to heat the swimming pools, which are designed to reuse double-filtered, backwashed pool water that's usually dumped as waste.
Excess rainwater will also be collected and stored in subterranean tanks and used to fill the pools. The complex engineering system of curvy steel frames that form the structure of the bubble-like skin are based on research into the structural properties of soap bubbles by two physicists at Dublin 's Trinity College . The unique structure is designed to help the building withstand nearly any seismic disruptions.
90 seconds to contemplate how photography has completely changed how I see the world, and especially how I see this city.
Sort of a sequel to this photo.
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?????

When she transformed into a butterfly,
the caterpillars spoke not of her beauty,
but of her weirdness.
They wanted her to change back
into what she had always been.
But she had wings.
-Dean Jackson
A few weeks ago Alex Currie, Valerie Kasinski, Elaina Trapani and I took a little road-trip to Taughannock falls.
Elaina gracefully modeled this set of wings and looked absolutely magical! I made the wings a few weeks prior, they are manually cut, painted, wired, and stitched together by hand.
A Via Cristoforo Colombo é a artéria principal de Riomaggiore, a povoação mais a sudeste do Parque Nacional das Cinque Terre, na região da Ligúria, Itália. Esta via pedonal liga a parte alta da vila à marina, estando ladeada por edifícios característicos da arquitetura vernacular liguriana, conhecidos como "case-torri" (casas-torre). As fachadas estreitas e altas destas edificações são pintadas em tons polícromos de terracota, ocre e amarelo, e foram historicamente projetadas para otimizar o espaço limitado entre a montanha e o mar Mediterrâneo. A Via Cristoforo Colombo é o centro da vida social e comercial da localidade, refletindo a dinâmica entre a preservação das tradições locais e a forte presença do turismo internacional. Classificada como Património Mundial da UNESCO desde 1997, Riomaggiore transformou a sua economia, outrora baseada na viticultura em socalcos e na pesca, num dos destinos mais visitados da Riviera Italiana.
Via Cristoforo Colombo is the main thoroughfare in Riomaggiore, the southeasternmost village in the Cinque Terre National Park in the Liguria region of Italy. This pedestrian street connects the upper part of the village to the marina and is lined with buildings characteristic of Ligurian vernacular architecture, known as “case-torri” (tower houses). The narrow, tall facades of these buildings are painted in polychrome shades of terracotta, ochre, and yellow, and were historically designed to optimize the limited space between the mountain and the Mediterranean Sea. Via Cristoforo Colombo is the center of the town's social and commercial life, reflecting the dynamic between the preservation of local traditions and the strong presence of international tourism. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997, Riomaggiore has transformed its economy, once based on terraced viticulture and fishing, into one of the most visited destinations on the Italian Riviera.
I suppose it only fitting that life will take root in the structure itself. You see bricks are made from clay and concrete is made from lime, sand and gravel. So, the trees find a way to latch onto the core materials of the building. As they do, with a helping hand from rain and freezing temretures, the once rock hard building materials return to their soil beginnings, providing more material for nature to take root. Nothing goes to waste.
This NASA Hubble Space Telescope image, taken in near-infrared light, transforms the pillars into eerie, wispy silhouettes, which are seen against a background of myriad stars.
The near-infrared light can penetrate much of the gas and dust, revealing stars behind the nebula as well as hidden away inside the pillars. Some of the gas and dust clouds are so dense that even the near-infrared light cannot penetrate them. New stars embedded in the tops of the pillars, however, are apparent as bright sources that are unseen in the visible image.
The ghostly bluish haze around the dense edges of the pillars is material getting heated up by the intense ultraviolet radiation from a cluster of young, massive stars and evaporating away into space. The stellar grouping is above the pillars and cannot be seen in the image. At the top edge of the left-hand pillar, a gaseous fragment has been heated up and is flying away from the structure, underscoring the violent nature of star-forming regions.
Astronomers used filters that isolate the light from newly formed stars, which are invisible in the visible-light image. At these wavelengths, astronomers are seeing through the pillars and even through the back wall of the nebula cavity and can see the next generations of stars just as they're starting to emerge from their formative nursery.
