Places to see in ( Isle of Iona - UK )
Isle of Iona is a small island in the Inner Hebrides off the Ross of Mull on the western coast of Scotland. It was a centre of Gaelic monasticism for four centuries and is today known for its relative tranquility and natural environment. It is a tourist destination and a place for spiritual retreats. Its modern Gaelic name means Iona of (Saint) Columba (formerly anglicised Icolmkill).
Iona lies about 2 kilometres (1 mi) from the coast of Mull. It is about 2 kilometres (1 mi) wide and 6 kilometres (4 mi) long with a resident population of 125. The geology of the island consists mainly of Precambrian Lewisian gneiss with Torridonian sedimentary rocks on the eastern side and small outcrops of pink granite on the eastern beaches. Like other places swept by ocean breezes, there are few trees; most of them are near the parish church.
Iona's highest point is Dùn Ì, 101 metres (331 ft), an Iron Age hill fort dating from 100 BC – AD 200. Iona's geographical features include the Bay at the Back of the Ocean and Càrn Cùl ri Éirinn (the Hill/Cairn of [turning the] Back to Ireland), said to be adjacent to the beach where St. Columba first landed.
The main settlement, located at St. Ronan's Bay on the eastern side of the island, is called Baile Mòr and is also known locally as The Village. The primary school, post office, the island's two hotels, the Bishop's House and the ruins of the Nunnery are here. The Abbey and MacLeod Centre are a short walk to the north. Port Bàn (white port) beach on the west side of the island is home to the Iona Beach Party.
Iona Abbey, now an ecumenical church, is of particular historical and religious interest to pilgrims and visitors alike. It is the most elaborate and best-preserved ecclesiastical building surviving from the Middle Ages in the Western Isles of Scotland. Though modest in scale in comparison to medieval abbeys elsewhere in Western Europe, it has a wealth of fine architectural detail, and monuments of many periods. The 8th Duke of Argyll presented the sacred buildings and sites of the island to the Iona Cathedral trust in 1899.
In front of the Abbey stands the 9th century St Martin's Cross, one of the best-preserved Celtic crosses in the British Isles, and a replica of the 8th century St John's Cross (original fragments in the Abbey museum). Visitors can reach Iona by the 10-minute ferry trip across the Sound of Iona from Fionnphort on Mull. The most common route is via Oban in Argyll and Bute. Regular ferries connect to Craignure on Mull, from where the scenic road runs 37 miles (60 kilometres) to Fionnphort. Tourist coaches and local bus services meet the ferries.

My Self Guided Tour Round Dundonald Cemetery Belfast.
( Wesley Thompson local East Belfast historian has written a wonderful History of Dundonald Cemetery entitled, 'If Stones could speak. I'm not sure how you might come by this history but I recommend contacting East Belfast Historical Society. )
I live under 2 miles away from Dundonald Cemetery, Upper Newtownards Road Belfast, yet I have never been in it until today. I was surprised at how large it turned out to be. I reckon it must be in the top 3 biggest Belfast cemeteries as regards size/numbers of graves.
Dundonald Cemetery opened as a municipal burial ground in 1905. n 1895, Belfast Corporation (now Belfast City Council) realised that more burial space was needed to cope with the city's growing population. Two years later, it bought 45 acres of land at Ballymiscaw, Dundonald, for £5,600. The site was known locally as Donall’s Fortress because of a nearby fort.
In 1904, plots were allocated out and a quarter of the cemetery was set aside for Roman Catholic burials, a decision which was later revised.
There are no new grave plots available in the cemetery, but burials still take place in existing graves.
Dundonald Cemetery in a Commonwealth War Grave. There are around 100 servicemen buried here from WW1 and WW2 in particular.
The entrance to the cemetery is marked by an imposing set of black and gold double gates. At the highest point stands a grey limestone war memorial ( the Cross of Sacrifice ), around five metres high. It is embedded with large bronze Excalibur-type swords which form the shape of a cross at the top of the monument.
The engraving below them reads: This cross of sacrifice is one in design and intention with those which have been set up in France and Belgium and other places throughout the world where our dead of the Great War are laid to rest. Their name liveth for evermore.
Famous burials
John Carey (1861-1943) – landscape artist
Sir Thomas Dixon (1868-1950) - High Sheriff for Co. Antrim in 1912 and Co. Down in 1913. Dixon also served as Lord-Lieutenant of the County Borough of Belfast between 1924 and 1950
Lady Edith Stewart Dixon (1871-1964) - wife of Sir Thomas Dixon. Lady Dixon was made a Dame of the British Empire for her work with soldiers during World War I. She donated her family estate, now Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park, to the people of Belfast. The Dixons are buried in section B3 of the cemetery and their grave is marked with a very large, imposing black granite memorial
Dr Thomas Fleming Stevenson Fulton (1887-1974) - founder of Fleming Fulton School.
Oscar Heron (died 1953) - famous gypsy horse dealer
John McCandless (died 1913) - managing director of Belfast Ropeworks Ltd

William John Stewart (1868-1946) - MP for south Belfast.
Historic Christian Oyer House c.1830
Historic Christian Oyer House c.1830
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Oyer House is located approximately 20 minutes from State College and Penn State University in a beautiful rural setting on 2+/- acres.
The house, a stuccoed stone, four over four, five bay excellent example of Federal architecture, was built c. 1825-1830. Four prominent chimneys service seven fireplaces, all with their period mantles.
The interior is in an unusually fine state of preservation, with original baseboards, chair rails, chimney cabinets, and hardware, including period box locks and door latches. But it is the quality and the superb original condition of a large amount of decorative painting found throughout the house* which makes it unique in this area. All the doors facing the first and second floor halls are trompe l'oeil versions of exotic woods as are all the chimney cabinets. The baseboards in each major room exhibit various simulated marble patterns. In the back parlor, under layers of old wall paper, was discovered rows of stenciling, from floor to ceiling, in various states of preservation.
All new mechanicals, wiring and plumbing, were added from 1990 to the present, as the house, when found, had none of these amenities. A new roof, an outbuilding serving as a two car garage and a sun-room were constructed at this time. When the original six dormers were replaced, two large rooms, bath and galley kitchen made a third floor suite, completing the 5 bedroom 3 1/2 bath house.
Hidden in its peaceful, private rural enclave, near large areas of state forests, parks and famous fishing and hunting areas, this unique house is within an easy drive of a major university and the cultural assets it affords.
Every effort has been made to restore this house with a restrained hand and a less is more philosophy in close conversation with the National Register to be sure its architectural integrity was carefully respected.

Largest church in Asia aerial view (bird's eye)
Medak- Church of World’s Second Largest Diocese
Medak Church –
The biggest church in the Asia situated in Medak District of Telangana, Built in a span of 10 years (1914 – 1924) under the today’s concept of “Food for work program”. This church was the brain child of Charles Walker Posnett, a missionary from the “English Wesleyan Methodist Mission”. The church is built near to a hillock that has been fortified in the times of Kakatiya, one can see its remains from the main road.
Medak Cathedral is the largest of all churches in Telangana. The Cathedral also sees over the Diocese of Medak, which is the single largest diocese in Asia and the second largest diocese in the world. It was consecrated on 25 December 1924. Built by the British Wesleyan Methodists, the Cathedral is now under the jurisdiction of the Church of South India.
History :
The cathedral was built under the stewardship of Reverend Charls Walker Posnett who was driven by the motto My best for my Lord. Rev. Posnett arrived in Secunderabad in 1895. He first ministered among the British soldiers at Trimullghery. Unsatisfied with the army work, he launched forth into villages. In the year 1896, Rev. Charles Walker Posnett visited a village called Medak and built a bungalow there by staying in dock bungalow. There was no railway route to Medak in those days. The journey of 60 miles (97 km) from Hyderabad had to be done on horseback and Rev. Posnett could do it in a day. There were then hardly two hundred Christians in the whole of Medak area. When he came to Medak, there was a small tiled house as the place of worship. As the number of Christians increased, he felt the need for expanding the church building. Rev.Posnett soon raised a moderate structure on that very spot just enough for the Christian community within the Mission Compound in the traditional shape of a church. He thought it was not a worthy place for divine worship. He started building the present Cathedral in 1914 on a sprawling 1,000 acres (4.0 km²) of land in Ghusnabad area. The foundations for the new church were laid in the beginning of the year 1914.During the early part of the 20th century, Medak district was reeling under famine and Rev. Posnett in order to provide succour to the suffering masses gave the masses employment in the construction of the church in stead of running a free kitchen. The construction wonk on the cathedral went on for 10 years. The cathedral was consecrated in 1924 by Rev. Posnett expressing his grateful thanks to God for mitigating the sufferings of the people.
Architecture :
The Medak Church is renowned for its large pointed stained glass windows that tell the story of the Bible in a kaleidoscope of colors though visible only in solar light. Made of Italian tiles, the spired bell tower of Medak Church rises to 175 feet high. The length & width of the Cathedral is 200 feet and 100 feet respectively. The roof of thechurch is sound proof being made by hollow sponge material and has an impressive style of vaulting. A window depicts the birth scene of Jesus, angels, Prophet or Issaiah, Mary and astrologers. The left side of the church bears the painted crucification scene and in the center the ascension of Jesus is painted bright. Each window is made up of several bits of stained glass delicately set into the massive stone windows. The window to the north which offers a canopy to the altar is awesome. The church has enough space to accommodate 5000 people at a time in its huge dimension.
There are six different colors of mosaic tiles that were imported from England and used in the church’s flooring. This magnificent white granite structure not only stands for peace but a great example of Gothic architecture in India and South-east Asia.
Timings :
Services:
Sunday General Service – 9:30 am
Sunday Morning Service – 7 am
The cathedral is open daily from 7 am to 6 pm for public viewing and silent prayer.

Laggan Dam and River Spean (4k) / Represa de Laggan e Rio Spean (qualidade de video 4k)
History
The structure was built by Balfour Beatty for the British Aluminium Company and construction was finished in 1934. The supervising engineers were the firm of C S Meik and William Halcrow, now known as the Halcrow Group.
The dam was designated a Category B listed building in 1985. It was upgraded to Category A listing in 2011, following a review as part of Hydroelectric Power Thematic Survey 2010.
Design
Water flowing over the spillway and the pipes in the centre of the dam
The dam is about 700 feet (210 m) long, and 48 metres (157 ft) high between the level of the foundations and the crest of the spillway. It is curved upstream like an arch dam with a radius of curvature of 2,000 feet (610 m), but works purely on the principle of a gravity dam.
The whole crest of the dam, except for a section in the middle that houses equipment, is a spillway broken into 29 bays by piers that support a roadway across the dam. As well as the spillway, there are six pipes embedded into the centre of the dam, controlled automatically by system of air valves. The foundations are built on granite, and the dam was built in seven sections, with copper strip and hot poured asphalt water stops in the joints.
The dam contains Loch Laggan, which has a capacity of 40,000,000 cubic metres (1.4×109 cu ft).
Water from the dam is conveyed to Loch Treig through 3 miles (4.8 km) of tunnel. From there, the waters travel through a further 15 miles (24 km) of tunnel 15 feet (4.6 metre) in diameter, before descending the hillside to a power house at Fort William through five steel pipes. The dam can be found next to the A86 road from Fort William. The catchment area of the dam was increased by an aqueduct which can be seen at the side of the road in Strath Mashie.

História
A estrutura foi construída por Balfour Beatty para a Aluminum Company britânica e construção foi concluída em 1934. Os engenheiros que supervisionam foram a empresa de CS Meik e William Halcrow, agora conhecido como o Grupo Halcrow .
A barragem foi designada uma categoria B edifício classificado em 1985. Ele foi atualizado para Categoria A lista em 2011, após uma revisão como parte da Hidrelétrica de Pesquisa Temático de 2010.
Água que flui sobre o vertedouro e os tubos no centro do dam
A barragem é cerca de 700 pés (210 m) de comprimento, e 48 metros (157 pés) de altura entre o nível das fundações e a crista do vertedouro. Ele é curvada a montante como uma barragem de arco com um raio de curvatura de 2000 pés (610 m), mas funciona meramente no princípio de uma barragem de gravidade .
Toda a crista da barragem, com exceção de uma seção no meio que abriga equipamentos, é um vertedouro dividido em 29 compartimentos por pilares que suportam uma estrada do outro lado da barragem. Bem como o vertedouro, existem seis tubos embutidos no centro da barragem, controlada automaticamente por um sistema de válvulas de ar. As bases são construídas em granito , e a barragem foi construído em sete secções, com a tira de cobre e água vertida asfalto quente pára nas articulações.
A barragem contém Loch Laggan , que tem uma capacidade de 40.000.000 metros cúbicos (1,4 × 10 9 cu ft).
Água da barragem é transportado para Loch Treig através de 3 milhas (4,8 km) de túnel. A partir daí, as águas percorrer mais 15 milhas (24 km) do túnel 15 pés (4,6 metros) de diâmetro, antes de descer a encosta para uma casa de força em Fort William através de cinco tubos de aço. A barragem pode ser encontrada ao lado da A86 estrada de Fort William. A área de captação da barragem foi aumentada por um aqueduto , que pode ser visto no lado da estrada em Strath Mashie .

藝苑掇英 Kane Paul 保羅凱恩 (1810-1871) Romanticism Canadian
tonykwk39@gmail.com
Paul Kane immigrated with his parents and six siblings to York [present-day Toronto] around 1819. Showing early talent, Kane is thought to have been mentored during his teen years by Thomas Drury, a drawing teacher at Upper Canada College in the 1830s. During that time, Kane worked as a decorator of furniture and also as a sign and house painter. In 1834, he exhibited nine works at the Society of Artists and Amateurs of Toronto, two of them originals and the rest copies.
After spending five years travelling and painting in the United States (Detroit, St. Louis, Mobile and New Orleans), between 1841 and 1842 he visited Italy to study the old masters, spending time in Genoa, Venice, Florence and Rome. He hiked from Rome to Naples, and eventually left Italy through the Brenner Pass to Switzerland, continuing on to Paris and then London. In London, Kane may have met the American artist George Catlin and viewed Catlin’s Indian Gallery, a showcase of paintings, lectures and performances based on his sketches of Indigenous peoples in the Western United States. Inspired by Catlin’s images and experiences, Kane returned to Canada determined to paint a similar series in the Canadian North-West.
Kane left Toronto in 1845 to sketch Indigenous peoples in their homelands and to collect their legends. He travelled around the Great Lakes but, warned of the dangers of a solitary trip to the Pacific, he contacted Sir George Simpson, superintendent of the Hudson's Bay Company, who arranged for him to accompany the fur-trade canoe fleets to the West. He joined the traders at Fort William [Thunder Bay, Ontario] in May 1846 and travelled west with them to Fort Garry. He witnessed the last great buffalo hunt in that region, continued to Norway House, and followed the Saskatchewan River to Fort Edmonton. After crossing the mountains on horseback, he descended the Columbia River to Fort Vancouver and sketched Mount St. Helens and the coastal tribes around Victoria. He returned to Toronto in 1848, having made over 700 sketches of western scenery and of Indigenous peoples from some 80 tribes.
Paul Kane’s paintings range from portraits to dramatic scenes to landscapes. Kee-akee-ka-saa-ka-wow, Plains Cree (1849–56) is a portrait of a Cree chief. Based on an earlier, more intimate and expressive watercolour sketch, the portrait of the chief has a stern face gazing past the viewer against the background of a stormy sky. In full regalia, face painted, Kane’s intent appears to have been to project the chief’s full power and dignity. Medicine Pipe Stem Dance, Blackfoot (1848), originally shown as part of a suite of paintings depicting Indigenous peoples in the Upper Canada region, which were produced Provincial Exhibition held in Brockville in 1852, features two figures in ceremonial robes engaged in a dance in a semi-circle of other people, one of whom is playing a drum, beside a line of tipis. In the background is the endless flat green of the plains to the horizon, cumulus clouds rising up into the sky. Cackabakah Falls (1849–56) is Kane’s sublime depiction of falls on the Kaministiquia River in northwestern Ontario that he would have seen travelling on the Hudson Bay Company’s voyageur route. Depicted from a knoll, the falls are framed by two massive granite pillars around which the foaming white water surges. In order to underscore the sheer scale of the falls, and perhaps also to emphasize the beauty and sacredness of the site, two Indigenous figures are depicted standing at the edge of the gorge into which the river plunges, one with his arm raised in a kind of salute.
Kane lived quietly in Toronto after his return. He painted canvases from his sketches, rendered in a contemporary European genre style. One hundred canvases bought by George William Allan are now in the Royal Ontario Museum, while 12 bought by the Canadian government are in the National Gallery of Canada. His works were also shown at the World’s Fair in Paris in 1855. Kane's account of his travels, The Wanderings of an Artist among the Indians of North America from Canada to Vancouver’s Island and Oregon through the Hudson’s Bay Company’s Territory and Back Again, was published in 1859 and translated into Danish, French and German. A Canadian classic, full of anecdotes, it complements his sketches in its vivid description of the life of Indigenous peoples, Métis peoples, Hudson’s Bay Company traders and missionaries in the 1840s. Kane also served as a mentor and an inspiration to Canadian painters such as F.A. Verner, Lucius O’Brien and William Cresswell.

Fort Ticonderoga - Fort Ticonderoga, formerly Fort Carillon, is a large 18th-century star fort built by the French at a narrows near the south end of Lake Champlain, in northern New York, in the United States.
Located on Lake Champlain in northeastern New York, Fort Ticonderoga served as a key point of access to both Canada and the Hudson River Valley during the French and Indian War. On May 10, 1775, Benedict Arnold of Massachusetts joined Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys of Vermont in a dawn attack on the fort, surprising and capturing the sleeping British garrison. Although it was a small-scale conflict, the Battle of Fort Ticonderoga was the first American victory of the Revolutionary War, and would give the Continental Army much-needed artillery to be used in future battles.
