France, Château de Fauguernon

nobody@ipernity.com (Jaap van 't Veen) — Fri, 04 Sep 2026 06:48:01 +0000

Château de Fauguernon (Fauguernon Castle) is a historic site, featuring medieval ruins that date back to the 9th and 12th centuries. The site - located on a strategic point - was fortified against Scandinavian (Vikings) invasions. The castle was partly dismantled in the 12th and again in the 16th century by the governor of Normandy.

The ruins of the fortress retain the vestiges of a double wall whose enclosure was occupied by farming activities. The interior defence is formed by thick high walls reinforced by towers built on a rocky outcrop and surrounded by ditches.

I was lucky when taking the pictures. On Google Maps, it looks as though the farm buildings are the castle. But when I walked onto the grounds to ask the owner for permission to take photos, I was invited on a private tour – complete with a detailed explanation of the history – to the ruins of the original castle.

France: Hermival-les-Vaux, Château d'Hermival

nobody@ipernity.com (Jaap van 't Veen) — Wed, 02 Sep 2026 06:46:18 +0000

Jaap van 't Veen has posted:

Château d'Hermival (Hermival Castle) is dating back to the middle of the 16th-century. The country house was remodeled in the 17th and 18th century under Louis XV. The facades have been listed as a Historic Monument since 1927, featuring distinctive corner pavilions in checkerboard pink brick and cut stone.

Originally owned by the noble Bosch family, it later passed to the Sisters of Bon Sauveur de Caen community, before being renovated in 2019 as a private event venue.

Whale wall (and PiP)

This useful information is on a blackboard painted on a toilet block, Whales? Well, they are currently on their annual southbound migration down the eastern Australian coast and are something of a tourist attraction. The PiP shows an image I captured of one a few days ago some way out (with telephoto and cropped) . Happy Wednesday Wall, everyone.

(voir notes)

Datant de 1765-1770, ces grandes peintures décoraient les murs de l'appartement du graveur Gilles Demarteau, rue de la Pelleterie, sur l'île de la Cité. Elles sont l'œuvre de François Boucher. Deux autres artistes de l'époque ont contribué à leur réalisation : Jean-Honoré Fragonard pour les fleurs et Jean-Baptiste Huet pour les animaux. Le mobilier date de la même époque.

France - Lisieux, Cathédrale Saint-Pierre

nobody@ipernity.com (Jaap van 't Veen) — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 06:42:23 +0000

Jaap van 't Veen has posted:

Cathédrale Saint-Pierre de Lisieux (Saint Peter’s Cathedral) was the seat of the Bishop of Lisieux until the diocese of Lisieux was merged in 1801 into the diocese of Bayeux.

Most probably there was already a church here in the 6th century. This is because a Bishop of Lisieux existed around that time. A previous cathedral, built in the Romanesque style, was unfortunately burned down in 1136. The basic shape of the church, especially the front part, stayed the same. Rebuilding of the cathedral started around 1160. In 1226, another fire damaged the cathedral. During the repairs three small chapels were added to the back of the church.

Cathédrale Saint-Pierre de Lisieux survived World War II completely unharmed. This is quite amazing, as the town of Lisieux itself suffered from allied bombing in 1944.

El Abra

Marije Aguillo has posted:

Hay mucha hiistoria sobre este área. Tradicionalmente el puerto de Bilbao era la ría y los muelles llegaban hasta el corazón de la ciudad. Todo eso cambió en los aós 80 con el gran proyecto del Guggenheim y la transformación integral de la lciudad. Todos los muelles fueron cerrados y lo que era el Abando Ibarra portuario y fabril es hoy zonas de paseo anejas al museo. Previamente, en los años 70, hubo un proyecto para el Gran Puerto de Bilbao que cerraria el Abra completamente.
Se planeó durante los años 70 como parte del cierre del Abra Exterior para dar cabida a la creciente flota de superpetroleros y grandes tráficos industriales.
Consistía en un gran dique o contradique de abrigo en Punta Galea que, junto con el ya ejecutado de Punta Lucero (terminado en 1985) en la margen izquierda, habría transformado gran parte de la costa de Getxo en dársenas y muelles comerciales.
Este proyecto tuvo mucha contestación contraria y se abandonó. La margen derecha de Getxo mantuvo su carácter residencial y paisajístico, limitándose la intervención en el Abra de Getxo, décadas después, a la creación del puerto deportivo en lugar de un muelle de carga industrial.

El fuerte de La Galea se encuentra en la margen derecha de El Abra, sobre el acantilado de La Galea. Data del siglo XVIII, fecha en que se construyó también un faro. Faro que actualmentne está en demolición y construcción de uno nuevo. El fuerte contaba con baterias para la defensa de la entrada al puerto.

Arranque, en Punta Galea, de lo que hubiera sido el gran espigón que hubiera cerrado ese proyecto de gran puerto exterior.

El Extremo NO que hubiera completado el cierre de El Abra. Ahí ha quedado como un estorbo para la navegación. No se el motivo por el que no lo han eliminado y los buques pasan por el pasillo izquierdo, entre Punta Lucero y ese mojón.

Faro en construcción.

For this Sunday Challenge: Storytelling - Part 5: Your story

I struggled to find a contribution because among those not yet published and the ones already published but that I love the choise was a hard decision to make.

Subject:
The kids a little shy and asking themselves who were those 5 people with cameras coming out of a 4WD.

Context:
Bahlil, a lost village in Marroco.

Moment:
4 of us outside, another parking the 4WD, the kid on the left was looking at it.

Emotion:
Just after more kids gathered, we had pencils, notebooks and treats for them, but for me this moment of surprise and interrogation was the most emotional, the seconds preceeding the first contact.

Another photo, the one I love the most from my trip there is the following one, already published here :

The girl is talking to her grandfather. The fence is to protect Volubilis ruins, not to allow people or cattle to enter the site freely. The man is the official guide of the site, the girl was bringing the donkey home, they had a chat... we can feel love there.

Prunksarkophag von König Friedrich I.

nobody@ipernity.com (Holger Hagen) — Sat, 29 Aug 2026 13:54:13 +0000

Holger Hagen has posted:

Der vergoldete Zinnsarkophag von König Friedrich I. im Berliner Dom wurde um 1713 vom Bildhauer Johann Friedrich Dinglinger geschaffen. Friedrich I. (1657–1713), auch „König in Preußen” genannt. Er und seine zweite Frau Sophie Charlotte ließen sich und ihre Nachkommen in prachtvollen Sarkophagen bestatten, die von Andreas Schlüter und anderen Meistern gestaltet wurden.
Der Prunksarkophag befand sich einst in der Denkmalskirche, die 1975 auf Anordnung der DDR-Regierung zerstört wurde. Heute befindet sich das Kunstwerk in der Predigtkirche des Berliner Doms und zählt zu den bedeutendsten barocken Kunstwerken in Berlin. Am Kopfende befinden sich zwei weibliche Figuren, die ein bekröntes Porträt des Königs halten. An den Langseiten des Sarkophags befinden sich Inschrifttafeln, die von Preußenadlern getragen werden.

Am Fußende befindet sich eine mit den Wappen Brandenburgs und Preußens verzierte Trophäe, die auf die Siege des ersten preußischen Königs verweist. Vor dem Sarkophag sitzen eine trauernde Frau, die den Kopf in die Hände stützt, und ein Knabe, der Seifenblasen macht.
Friedrich I. ist jedoch nicht in den vergoldeten Sarkophagen bestattet, die nach Entwürfen von Andreas Schlüter im Predigtraum geschaffen wurden, sondern in nach 1887 geschaffenen Särgen aus Marmor, die sich in der darunter liegenden Gruft befinden.
