................................
Ce petit village médiéval du Quercy dont les châteaux (vieux et jeune) surplombent l'Aveyron est classé "Plus beaux villages de France" ,
Bruniquel se situe sur un piton vertigineux surplombant le confluent de la Vère, qui vient de l'Albigeois, et de l'Aveyron au sortir des gorges du même nom.
C'est à ses pieds, voici 15000 ans, que la civilisation magdalénienne s'épanouit. Abris sous roche, grottes ornées,objets d'art paléolitihique en témoignent.
Selon une vielle légende, la Reine mérovingienne Brunehaut aurait bâti au VIe siècle le château primitif mais c'est surtout au Moyen-Age, que le village connut un essor remarquable grâce au commerce du lin, du chanvre et du safran. Il offrait alors une halte pour les pèlerins sur les chemins de Saint-Jacques-de- Compostelle.

I used to think “Oh no I need to perfectly split this torso by the seams to swap out limbs to get an articulated doll” but nowadays I find it’s much easier to cut the torso up and ensure the articulated limbs already fit well in their sockets.
I keep forgetting how ridiculous the Liv torso joint is but it’s super big and annoying but I managed to pry the body apart so that’s a thing now and glued it onto the mermaid tail stump.
It’s mostly a proof of concept with my rerooted PJ head but as you can see I want to put a Mod era head on this body and make cute little mod dresses and stuff for her.
Please use red/cyan anaglyph goggles, for anaglyph glasses ask your local optician.
Wat Phnom ("Mountain Pagoda") is a Buddhist temple (wat) located in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. It was built in 1372, and stands 27 metres (88.5 ft) above the ground. It is the tallest religious structure in the city. The pagoda was given the name of Wat Preah Chedey Borapaut. Wat Phnom is the central point of Phnom Penh.
Legend relates that a wealthy widow called Penh (commonly referred to as Daun Penh – Grandmother Penh – in Khmer) found a large koki tree in the river. Inside the tree she found four bronze statues of the Buddha. Penh constructed a small shrine on an artificial hill made by the people living in the village to protect the sacred statues. Eventually this became a sacred site and sanctuary where people would make blessings and pray.
Then it came to the year of the snake 1437 suggests King Ponhea Yat ordered His Excellency Decho Srei to raise the mount even higher when he finished building the new Royal Palace in the new city he then named Krong Chaktomok Mongkol or simply known as Phnom Penh. The prominent stupa immediately west of the sanctuary contains the ashes of the king and his royal family.
Wat Phnom is the center of celebration during Khmer New Year, and Pchum Ben.
Wat Phnom appeared on the Travel Channel documentary, 1,000 Places to See Before You Die. It also served as the Pit Stop for the 4th Leg of The Amazing Race 15.
Hello everybody :)
Here´s my part of the Castle Collab I made together with my friends for the Lego exhibition in Mondsee (Austria). Make sure to check out their accounts to see more pictures of our Collab.
My part was between the Castle from Markus and the mine from Kofi. I tried to focus on medieval agriculture, therefore I made a watermill and a small farm. Moreover their´s also a enclosure for pigs and a part of a corn field (which is continued on the creation from Jonas, RC_1136 and Kofi)
Furthermore I also tried some new techniques, for instance for the roof or for the stork´s nest. Their are also some easter eggs in my creation, on the right their´s a small cave with some golden coins and between the two buildings is an outhouse (toilet).

Rouge ou bleu, le rêve ? ...
"C'est comme s'il tatouait ces mots sur mon cœur, avec une encre d'un bleu profond."
"Like he was carving the words in a deep blue tattoo on my heart."
Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore - Kafka sur le rivage
“Memories are what warm you up from the inside. But they're also what tear you apart.”
"Les souvenirs, c'est quelque chose qui vous réchauffe de l'intérieur. Et qui vous déchire violemment le cœur en même temps."

Je viens juste de terminer la lecture de "Kafka sur le rivage" de Haruki Murakami. C'est une explosion de sensations, de sentiments, d'images douces ou crues ... La musique des mots, la beauté, la poésie ou le surréalisme des lieux et des situations, l'épaisseur et l'immatérialité des personnages... lire ce livre est une jubilation à l'état pur de la première à la dernière page. N'hésitez pas, vous adorerez !
I just come to end the reading of " Kafka on the shore " by Haruki Murakami. It's an explosion of sensations, feelings, soft or crude images... The music of the words, the beauty, the poetry or the surrealism of places and situations, the thickness and the immateriality of the characters... reading this book is a pure jubilation from the first to the last page. Don't hesitate : you will adore it.

Yes, I've used the 'Use Hearing Protection' title before but I couldn't resist using it again for this photo. I has to be said that the old, gypsy saxophone player isn't exactly Sonny Rollins -more annoying than musical. Just when I shot the photo, he interrupted his playing as the lady walked past.

The Alfa Romeo 6C name was used on road, race, and sports cars produced between 1927 and 1954 by Alfa Romeo; the "6C" name refers to the six cylinders of the car's straight-six engine. Bodies for these cars were made by coachbuilders such as James Young, Zagato, Touring Superleggera, Castagna, and Pinin Farina. Beginning in 1933 there was also a 6C version with an Alfa factory body, built in Portello. In the early 1920s Vittorio Jano received a commission to create a lightweight, high performance vehicle to replace the Giuseppe Merosi designed RL and RM models. The car was introduced in April 1925 at the Salone dell' Automobile di Milano as the 6C 1500. It was based on Alfa's P2 Grand Prix car, using a single overhead cam 1,487 cc in-line six-cylinder engine, producing 44 horsepower. In 1928 the 1500 Sport was presented, which was the first Alfa Romeo road car with double overhead camshafts.

In the mid-1920s, Alfa's RL was considered too large and heavy, so a new development began. The 2-litre formula that had led to Alfa Romeo winning the Automobile World Championship in 1925, changed to 1.5-litres for the 1926 season. The 6C 1500 was introduced in 1925 at the Milan Motor Show. Series production started in 1927,[3] with the P2 Grand Prix car as a starting point.The Alfa Romeo 6C-1500 Super Sport features a twin overhead cam six cylinder engine with a bore of 62 mm and stroke of 82 mm, giving a displacement of 1487 cc, as against the P2's 1,987 cc, while supercharging was dropped. First versions were bodied by James Young and Carrozzeria Touring.
In 1928, the 6C Sport model was released, with a dual overhead-camshaft engine. Its sport version won many races, including the 1928 Mille Miglia. Total production was 3,000 (200 with DOHC engines). Ten examples of a supercharged (compressore, compressor) Super Sport variant were also built. Wikipedia
I use GND filters even though I shoot digital.. How about you? While I was photographing the area, a fellow photographer said with digital, GND filters aren't needed.. I still like the result of balancing the exposure in a single frame. Also, for longer exposures, I believe the filters help capture more color & allow to capture motion/movement. Personally, I don't think it's wrong to use GND filters. Less to worry about in post processing.

Wikipedia:
Vilafamés (en valencià i oficialment, Vilafamés) és un municipi de la Comunitat Valenciana, Espanya. Situat a la província de Castelló, a la comarca de la Plana Alta.
Les primeres evidències d'ocupació de l'entorn de Vilafamés se centren en les troballes arqueològiques realitzades en l'anomenat "Homo erectus vilafamensis", on es van localitzar restes antropològiques Els seus orígens es remunten al Plistocè Mitjà, segons el descobriment de les restes de l'anomenat "homo erectus vilafamensis "a la Cova de Dalt del Tossal de la Font amb una antiguitat de 80.000 anys. Una continuïtat en l'ocupació del medi estaria reflectida en la Cova del Matutano, jaciment del Paleolític Superior. Les primeres manifestacions artístiques apareixen amb les pintures esquemàtiques de l'Edat del Bronze.
Pel que fa al nucli urbà, el mateix topònim AVilahameç, ABeniffamez, denota el seu origen en època musulmana. D'aquest període es conserven entre altres elements, la fonamentació del castell que corona el turó sobre el qual s'assenta el municipi i el traçat urbà de la zona contigua a aquest, d'estrets carrerons tortuosos. Queden així mateix vestigis de les antigues fortificacions constituïdes per llenços de muralla i restes de torres.
És amb la conquesta de la musulmana Beni-Hamez pel rei Jaume I d'Aragó quan Vilafamés pren identitat històrica pròpia. Aquest fet porta a que, el 30 de agost de 1241, Jaume I comissions a Guillem Ramon de Vielha per donar a poblar el castell a Diumenge Ballester, A. Cabrera i altres, carta de població que s'estableix a fur de Saragossa. Aquesta donació serà confirmada posteriorment pel propi monarca a Lleida el 21 de febrer de 1242.
Posteriorment s'incorpora al patrimoni dels Hospitalaris de Sant Joan a 1264, després d'una permuta real amb aquests per la vila d'Olocau del Rei, que seran els seus amos fins 1317, data en què la vila i el castell queden annexionats a la recentment creada Ordre de Montesa. En 1343, Pere IV el Cerimoniós, s'entesta a l'ordre el mer i mixt imperi, amb les corresponents jurisdiccions, drets i emoluments que pertanyien a la corona.
Joan I d'Aragó, en 1393, concedeix a Vilafamés el privilegi pel qual el Consell pot fer i ordenar tot tipus de establemientos i ordenacions que consideri convenients d'acord amb els furs generals del regne.
En les Corts celebrades a València durant l'any 1403, Martí I l'Humà disposa donar possessió al mestre de Montesa del mer i mixt imperi de la població, aquest fet provocarà la protesta irada del Consell en 1404.
Ja al segle XVI, en 1519, Carlos I d'Espanya promet no separar de la corona la jurisdicció civil i criminal, i el mer i mixt imperi de la vila. Quan en 1635 culminen les desavinences sorgides entre els Justícies, per una banda i l'ordre d'una altra, el "Consell" creu arribat el moment de demanar del Papa Innocenci XII autorització per comprar la jurisdicció alfonsina, adquisició que porta a terme el 16 d'abril pel preu de sis mil lliures. A partir d'aquesta data, Vilafamés queda incorporada plenament al patrimoni real, reservant-Montesa la percepció de certes primícies i el dret d'habitació sobre el castillo.Será al segle XIX, amb els enfrontaments civils que segueixen a la mort de Ferran VII, quan el nom de Vilafamés sonarà de nou dins de l'àmbit històric com plaça inexpugnable. Al març de 1837 pateix el primer intent d'assalt de les tropes carlines. El 29 octubre 1838 la guarnició de la plaça rebutja una segona intentona, que es repetirà de nou el 3 de gener del següent any, aquesta vegada amb Cabrera al capdavant de les tropes, que des de les muntanyes que dominen la vila comencen a assetjar a la població, trencant foc contra la ciutadella. En aquesta ocasió es va fer front al setge per part dels veïns a més de comptar amb l'ajuda d'una columna mòbil enviada per l'Ajuntament de Castelló i un destacament d'artilleria de marina, molt poc nombrós. Cinc dies van durar els continus enfrontaments, rebutjant la població tots els atacs de Cabrera, fins que el dia 7 l'arribada de tropes reals va obligar al general carlista a aixecar el lloc. Amb el més selecte de les seves tropes i recorrent a l'auxili de les de Forcadell, Cabrera intentarà el cop definitiu l'abril del mateix any, establint un campament davant la població. El dia 16 s'obre una bretxa en les muralles, encara que els atacants són rebutjats i resulten infructuosos tots els esforços de prendre la plaça que va resultar semi derruïda.

Cabrera y otros, carta de población que se establece a fuero de Zaragoza. Esta donación será confirmada posteriormente por el propio monarca en Lérida el 21 de febrero de 1242.
Posteriormente se incorpora al patrimonio de los Hospitalarios de San Juan en 1264, tras una permuta real con estos por la villa de Olocau del Rey, que serán sus dueños hasta 1317, fecha en que la villa y el castillo quedan anexionados a la recién creada Orden de Montesa.

I used my lens cap to give a sense of how big the fungi was. There was fungi this size all over the park - very impressive!
How much ingenuity is used to dispose of our waste nowadays!!!

I have seen in the past a similar vehicle working in our street.
Today I have spotted this vehicle in Business Park, Notting Hill
It was fascinating to have a closer look at this amazing machine with these gadgets attached.
The building used to house the Brussels Stock Exchange, it does not have a distinct name, though it is usually called simply the Bourse/Beurs. It is located on Boulevard Anspach, and is the namesake of the Place de la Bourse/Beursplein, which is, after the Grand Place, the second most important square in Brussels.
As part of the covering of the river Senne for health and aesthetic reasons in the 1860s and 1870s, a massive program of beautification of the city centre was undertaken. Architect Léon-Pierre Suys, as part of his proposal for covering of the Senne, designed a building to become the centre of the rapidly expanding business sector. It was to be located on the former butter market, (itself situated on the ruins of the former Recollets Franciscan convent) on the newly created Anspach Boulevard (then called Central Boulevard).
The building was erected from 1868 to 1873, and mixes elements of the Neo-Renaissance and Second Empire architectural styles. It has an abundance of ornaments and sculptures, created by famous artists, including the brothers Jacques and Joseph Jacquet, Guillaume de Groot, French sculptor Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse and his then-assistant Auguste Rodin.
