Still Life with Candlestick

Another charity shop find. It was really dusty and dirty, but I decided leave it as it was for this photo. I added one of my textured paper backgrounds and used a grunge preset in post processing.

Meet my new friend. I bought him a couple of days ago in a charity shop sadly a bit late for Hallowe'en. He cost me £1.49.......a bargain.

I quite like his slightly lecherous smile, so you'll probably seeing him again, once I figure out another still life scene to put him in.

Best viewed large. Have a nice day y'all ;-)

Liège - Cathédrale Saint-Paul

Liège is the center of the largest Walloon agglomeration, and the cultural center of the Walloon region of Belgium. The city, with a population of about 200.000, is located at the confluence of the Ourthe and Meuse rivers.

Around 705, Saint Lambert of Maastricht is credited with completing the Christianization of the region, but conversion may still not have been quite universal, since Lambert was murdered in Liège. To enshrine his relics, the successor, Hubertus (later St. Hubert), built a basilica which became the nucleus of the city.
In 1468, following an uprising of the inhabitants against Burgundian rule, xof Burgundy had the city plundered and systematically destroyed. The few survivors who had fled into the forests—Charles the Bold allegedly had more than 5,000 inhabitants murdered—were only able to return to the city for reconstruction after seven years.

In 1789, partly in connection with the French Revolution, the Liège Revolution occurred. It was directed against the absolutist rule of the Prince-Bishop and was crushed in early 1791 by troops commissioned by the Holy Roman Empire. In 1795, Liège was occupied by French troops and became part of the First French Republic. The Congress of Vienna annexed it to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which in 1830 became the Kingdom of Belgium, to which Liège has belonged ever since.
Bishop Ebrachar founded a collegiate here in 966 on what was then an island between two branches of the Meuse.

Construction of the present church began in 1240. The first phase included the choir, the transept, and the two bays of the eastern nave. The church was consecrated in1289. The second, High Gothic construction phase began after 1333 and included the four western bays of the nave, the side portal, the chapels of the side aisles, the polygonal apse, and finally the tower. At the beginning of the 16th century, the west portal was added next to the tower.

In 1794, during the French Revolution, the demolition of the huge St. Lambert's Cathedral began. Under the supervision of a "Commission destructive de la cathédrale". In 1803, the two towers on the facade were destroyed. By 1827, almost the entire complex had been leveled.

After the revolution subsided, the population sought a replacement and chose the Collegiate Church as the church closest to the city center. After the church was elevated to cathedral status in 1804, the tower was raised by a bell tower and a spire; The western towers of the destroyed St. Lambert's Cathedral served as a model. A comprehensive restoration in the Neo-Gothic style took place between 1850 and 1875. The choir received two additional side aisles, and the entire exterior façade was decorated with statues and ornamental elements.

In the Renaissance, skeletons were often depicted on tombs and gravestones. They were symbolizing the transience of life and the loss of beauty and wealth. They were meant to remind people that death comes to everyone.

I was going to post this around about Halloween time, but I forgot. Better late than never.

This was taken through a dirty window of a cellar under a house in Chichester, West Sussex. Such a lovely looking couple :-))

Happy Hallowe'en..!!

I wasn't going to post anything today, but as it's Hallowe'en I thought I put this image up before I leave for my break in Exmouth.

I took this through the window of a jewellery workshop in Chichester, West Sussex, where it seemed that this skeleton was taking over one of the work stations.
