Popular poop

In one of the main scenes in English August - a 1994 landmark film in contemporary Indian Cinema and a must watch for every cinematic art lover - the camera in deft moves pans on a well-formed output of human end product. The scene is artistically shot and in place of eliciting scorn on the face and sickness in the pit of one's stomach brings out a good laugh at the nicely projected satire and awe at a remarkable directorial feat.

"Exploring Arequipa" Khillski's photos about Arequipa, Peru

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Arequipa, Peru by TravelPod blogger Khillski titled "Exploring Arequipa" Khillski's travel blog entry: "Founded on August 15th 1540 by Manuel Garcia de Carbajal, Arequipa is located at 2.325 meters (8792 feet) above sea level. The Main Square is bordered by beautiful arched walkways and the Cathedral. In the center is a bronze fountain of three plates crowned by the figure of a sixteenth century soldier called Tuturutu. The story goes that he was in charge of warning of any new event (town crier). Around the square are three granite portals with brick and limestone bases: : Portal del Cabildo (Portal de la Municipalidad), Portal de las Delicias (Portal de San Agustín), and Portal del Regocijo (Portal de Flores). The Cathedral was built in the seventeenth century out of the same sillar as much of the city center. It was destroyed by fire in 1844 and rebuilt in 1868 using a neoclassical style. In 2001, the Cathedral (primarily one tower) was damaged by an earthquake and rebuilt. The Santa Catalina Monastery was founded in 1580 by a rich widow, Maria de Guzman. It was not opened to the world for nearly 400 years and since 1970 visitors have been able to wander through the streets and cloisters. During the colonial times the monastery was reserved for the daughters of the nobility who had decided to steal themselves away from the real world and dedicate themselves entirely to prayer. Many of the wealthy nobility endowed the ...

Larnaca Cyprus. Something for Everyone

Larnaca in Cyprus could be described as the resort with everything. It's a major municipality, a town and a holiday resort all rolled into one. It's also home to the Islands main airport and and boast a great selection of shops too. Add to that a pretty marina along with Cyprus's main port and Larnaca certainly appears to have plenty to offer holiday makers and residents alike. That's before we get started with the historic buildings including a medieval fort and several other listed buildings. There are also several modern industrial estates on edges of the district and a thriving commercial center too. There's a modern promenade thronged with trendy sea front cafe bars, restaurants and the obligatory fast food chains for the youngsters.





The beach at Larnaca is one of the best in Cyprus and is actually man made though you wouldn't have guessed so. Most of the restaurants and cafes run opposite the beach making them the ideal place to relax whilst taking in the superb view. It's a nice stroll from Larnaca marina at one end to the ancient medieval fort at the other. Across the road from the marina is a small public gallery and a beautiful paved area built around an ornamental fountain. Some of the buildings in Larnaca are centuries old and many of them have been painstakingly restored to their former glory. A short walk to some of the quaint back streets behind the main promenade will reveal many more that are still awaiting renovation.





The history of Larnaca stretches back further than any other part of Cyprus and the town has been continually occupied since the bronze age. The town is built on the ancient site of Kition which was in fact once the capital of the whole of Cyprus. Legend has it that the original city of Kition was founded by the grandson of Noah and the biblical connections don't end there. The church of saint Lazarus in Larnaca square is actually named after the same Lazarus that Jesus raised from the dead. The legends say that after his resurrection Lazarus traveled to Cyprus where he became the Islands first Bishop. The church is actually reputed to have been built over his tomb and visitors can go down into the tombs below the building. Like most of the churches in Cyprus Larnaca church is beautifully adorned with icons and intricate decor.





Ideally situated only a few kilometers from the airport the town has become a thriving vibrant community. In 1974 following the Turkish invasion and subsequent occupation of the North of Cyprus Larnaca offered to accept 40,000 refugees. These displaced persons tripled her population to a then 65,000 inhabitants. With great motorway links to all the coastal resorts and the capital Nicosia the town is perfectly located for those wishing to visit the Islands many places of interest. With the recent boom in holiday home purchases Larnaca has also become something of a property hotspot. The fringe coastal villages such as Oroklini make ideal settings in which to own an apartment or villa and the prices are still quite reasonable compared with other parts of Cyprus. In fact many locals are selling up and buying villas in such places due to their out of town exclusivity which in turn is creating some prime locations.





With so much going for Larnaca it is no surprise that it is earmarked by many to be the next Cyprus property boom area. With this in mind many speculators are investing in off plan purchases on these new developments. They plan to profit from the rising market by selling when the developments are completed. The speculation is being further fueled by the proposals of a larger modern marina for the berthing of luxury yachts and a possible golf development. Golf sun and property are part of any speculators mantra so this is bound to affect values. If the area didn't have more than enough to offer already these new proposals could turn it into an investors dream come true. So maybe if you are looking to invest in a place in the sun you should take a look at Larnaca Cyprus.

Trafalgar Square – History in the Heart of London

Named after the Battle of Trafalgar - a British naval victory of the Napoleonic Wars -Trafalgar Square is undoubtedly one of the most iconic and history-rich places in London. Originally the northern area of the square was the site of the King's Mews and had been since the time of Edward I, while the southern end was the original Charing Cross, where Whitehall met the Strand from the City. When George IV, the Prince Regent, decided to move the King’s Mews to Buckingham Palace in the 1820s, the original site was demolished and commissioned for redevelopment. By 1845 the present architecture was completed.





The square itself consists of a large central area surrounded by roadways on three sides, and stairs leading to the National Gallery on the other. Nelson's Column stands in the centre of the square, surrounded by four bronze lions said to have been made with recycled metals from the cannons of the French fleet and fountains added in 1939. The column is topped by a statue of Lord Nelson, the admiral who commanded the British Fleet at Trafalgar.





At the corners of the square are four plinths. Three of them hold statues of George IV, Henry Havelock, and Sir Charles James Napier. The fourth plinth on the northwest corner was intended to hold a statue of William IV, but remained empty due to insufficient funds. Later, agreement could not be reached over which military hero or monarch to place there. Since 1999 it has featured temporary exhibitions of art by contemporary artists.





The square used to be particularly famous for its pigeons. However, the desirability of the birds’ presence was a matter of contention, due to their droppings tarnishing the beauty of the buildings and the flock of birds, estimated to be around 35,000 at its peak, were considered to be a health hazard. Therefore, the sale of bird seeds in the square was prohibited in 2000, and as of last month, bye-laws were secured sealing an outright ban on feeding birds in the square. The presence of pigeons is thus severely diminished.





Since its construction, Trafalgar Square has been a venue for political demonstrations. It was host to both the Black Monday and Bloody Sunday political rallies of 1886 and 1887, respectively. In modern times it has held significant political demonstrations against war and nuclear weapons, apartheid and the poll tax. A large vigil held was held at the square shortly after the terrorist bombings in London in July 2005.





Trafalgar Square is easily accessible from the Charing Cross, Embankment, Piccadilly Circus or Leicester Square tube stations, while the landmark is also extensively serviced by the London bus network. In addition there are several hotels in London near the square itself. Either way, no trip to London would be complete without visiting Trafalgar Square.

"Bologna and the Beach" Giulianat's photos about Bologna, Italy

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Bologna, Italy by TravelPod blogger Giulianat titled "Bologna and the Beach" Giulianat's travel blog entry: "So I am settling in quite nicely in Rimini, that's not to say that I never have problems but I am relaxing into the Italian way of life. The main problem I am having at the moment is trying to get something called a "permmesso di soggiorno" in English a "residence permit" from a local police station. I was supposed to go and get this within 8 working days from the date I entered Italy. Evidently I have gone over that time but here's why: My cousins girlfriend has been helping me go to the police station and speak with the policemen so I can get the residence permit. The first time we went (this was after only 6 working days), the policeman told us to come back another day and in the meantime gave me his number on a piece of paper and said to call him to go out for a coffee. Needless to say I chucked that in the bin - he appeared to be obsessed with finding an Australian girlfriend (so if anyone's looking give me a hoy! - no not really he was a few screws loose I think). Anyway we came back on the day he said and another policeman said that it was the wrong day and to come back another day and that we had to queue up at another department building. We did this yesterday, and waited two hours before opening (in a queue of about 60 people) until a woman came out just after it had opened and told everyone that they ...

"Day of the Immaculate Conception" Superchick530's photos about Lima, Peru

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Lima, Peru by TravelPod blogger Superchick530 titled "Day of the Immaculate Conception" Superchick530's travel blog entry: "I couldn't sleep in Cusco, Machu Picchu or Puno because of the altitude. Now I am back at sea level and I am certainly not having any problem sleeping! I arrived at my hotel in Lima yesterday shortly before noon. After getting settled, I ventured out for a bite to eat and a little window shopping. Then, I came back to my room and slept and read for the rest of the day. At most of the hotels, there are places where people leave books. If you see something you like, you just take it. I think it works like geocaching though: take one, leave one. I happened to spot "The Help" at my hotel in Puno, so I pounced on it...and once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. (That's my story for staying in my room all afternoon yesterday. And I'm sticking to it.) This morning I went on a Lima city tour. We spent some time at the Plaza de Armas (yes, every city in Peru has one). The Plaza Mayor, as it's also called, was the heart of the City when the area was claimed by the Spaniards. Francisco Pizarro to be exact. A bronze fountain erected in 1650 sits in the center of the Plaza, and a number of significant public buildings surround the Plaza. On the south end of the Plaza, there is the Cathedral that sits on the same spot where Pizarro ordered the city's first church built in 1535. The Archbishop's Palace is ...

"Suprisingly nice capital" Luxguy's photos about Lima, Peru

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Lima, Peru by TravelPod blogger Luxguy titled "Suprisingly nice capital" Luxguy's travel blog entry: "Lima, the country's frenetic capital is a place of many faces. Being a home to one third of Peru's population, this seaside metropololis offers everything from a beautiful and buzzing city centre to overpopulated neighbroughs full of social problems and criminality. The city is nestled on a strip of desertscape fit between the shore of Pacific Ocean and the nearby mountains. Actually, it is a countryside scenery which can be seen all over Peru: mountains, gigantic sand dunes and bone-dry desert. Lima was put on my RTW list more like a transition hub to access southern part of Peru, rather than a major cultural, or a party place. As I have been experiencing certain minor health problems over the course of past weeks, Lima also became something like a medical examination stop-over. But once I was here would it be a true pity just to sit at the hostel, instead of exploring this pulsing vain of Peruvian social and economic life? But first, I had to make my way to Lima. To get a look at some nice and also frightening Andean sceneries, I decided to take a day bus from Huaraz. My hostal owner advised me to book a seat on a side of the bus driver to catch some awesome Andean views. She was so right. The views at majestic snowcapped Andean peaks were breathtaking. As the bus ride advance, we ended up driving on picturesque, but ...

Sax at Bethesda Terrace & Fountain, Central Park, Manhattan, New York City

Bethesda Terrace overlooks The Lake in New York City's Central Park. It is on two levels, united by two grand staircases and a lesser one that passes under Terrace Drive to provide passage southward to the Elkan Naumburg bandshell and The Mall, of which this is the architectural culmination, the theatrical set-piece at the center of the park. The upper terrace flanks the 72nd Street Cross Drive and the lower terrace provides a podium for viewing the Lake. The mustard-olive colored carved stone is New Brunswick sandstone, with a harder stone for cappings, with granite steps and landings, and herringbone paving of Roman brick laid on edge. Bethesda Fountain is the central feature on the lower level of the terrace, constructed in 1859-64,[1] which is enclosed within two elliptical balustrades.[2]. The pool is centered by a fountain sculpture designed by Emma Stebbins in 1868 and unveiled in 1873.[3] Stebbins was the first woman to receive a public commission for a major work of art in New York City.[3] The bronze, eight-foot statue depicts a female winged angel touching down upon the top of the fountain, where water spouts and cascades into an upper basin and into the surrounding pool. It was the only statue in the park called for in the original design. Beneath her are four four-foot cherubs representing Temperance, Purity, Health, and Peace.[3] Also called the Angel of the Waters, the statue refers to the Gospel of John, Chapter 5 where there is a description of an angel ...

Disney Castle - Disneyland

California travel expert Veronica Hill of www.CaliforniaTravelExpert.com tours Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland in this episode of "California Travel Tips." Millions of tourists pass through the arches of Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle, but few take the time to explore this amazing landmark. Modeled after the magnificent castle Neu Schwanstein in the Bavarian Alps, this beautiful wood-and-stone reproduction debuted with the Anaheim theme park in 1955. The working drawbridge, surrounded by a moat with friendly ducks, was lowered on opening day and in 1983 during the reopening of Fantasyland. No detail was spared building Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle, from its gold-plated squirrel gargoyles, spires and turrets, to its regal flags, clock chandelier and intricate windows and wooden doors. Look closely on the ground leading to the castle and you'll discover a time capsule buried during the theme parks 40th anniversary. Above the entrance arches you'll see the Walt Disney family crest. You can look for your own family name in the Castle Heraldry Shop while admiring its Knights of Armor and spiked maces on display. Inside the castle, a magic crystal boutique entices shoppers, or you can take a closer look at the drawbridge's mechanics. The castle's namesake is honored with murals from the movie and a bronze drinking fountain featuring Princess Aurora and Prince Philip. In the west hall, you'll discover a display of princess memorabilia, including a cheerful bluebird ...

"Villas of Tivoli" Ahartry's photos about Tivoli, Italy

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Tivoli, Italy by TravelPod blogger Ahartry titled "Villas of Tivoli" Ahartry's travel blog entry: "The day dawned clear and bright - lovely. We breakfasted, then left our flat a little before 09.00h. When we arrived at the Trevi Fountain, the crowd was substantially smaller than it had been previously. The fountain was being cleaned ... but, as it was almost 09.00h, we decided to wait to see if they turned it on ... and, indeed, it was not long before the fountain began to flow. The Trevi Fountain is really very absurd. It sits in a very small piazza - really more of an opening between buildings where three roads come together. A giant figure of Neptune seems to burst out of the building, while, below him, two other figures wrestle with massive horses. It seems to epitomize baroque excess. From the Trevi, we walked to the church of Santa Maria Maggiore - our first foray into Vatican Territory (oooh). The main basilica dates back to the 5th century CE, and the original mosaics are intact. Unfortunately, they are so high above the floor that it is impossible to see them much at all. Instead, we went around the outside, gaping at the very elaborate chapels and, beneath the altar, the golden and silver urn that supposedly contains a fragment of Jesus' crib. From the church, we went a few blocks to the train station. The signs to the Rental Cars seemed to lead us in circles, but, after several kilometres of walking, we found ...

There is a great Restaurant Beach bungalow type eats called "El Dorado" right on the sand. Have some drinks there and maybe a fish on a stick. Highly recomend. Walk the "MALECON" in middle of town (Ocean Boardwalk) after dinner in one of the MANY Restaurants there. Lots of galleries, shops,etc. The beaches south of PV are BY FAR much nicer (SAND & WATER WISE) than north of PV. PV is safe. Lots of tourists from all over the world. The Dolphins" is located next to the Los Arcos Amphitheater on the Malecon, in El Centro. This fountain is a modern bronze sculpture sitting atop a circular domed shape fountain. Sculptor James Bottoms created it as a gift to Puerto Vallarta from sister city, Santa Barbara California. The three dolphins in the monument represent the brotherhood of the two cities and the friendship that unites them. Each dolphin appears to look in a different direction, one towards the city, one towards the sky and the other to the sea.

The acclaimed Statue of Manneken Pis, and some waffles

Manneken Pis (help·info) (literally little man pee in Marols, a dialect spoken in Brussels, also known in French as le Petit Julien), is a famous Brussels landmark. It is a small bronze fountain sculpture depicting a naked little boy urinating into the fountain's basin.

"Of palaces, castles and cathedrals" Zento's photos about Segovia, Spain

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Segovia, Spain by TravelPod blogger Zento titled "Of palaces, castles and cathedrals" Zento's travel blog entry: "This Sunday's stop was the old city of Segovia. I had been here before once with my Dad when I was 11 years old and I had a few vague memories. Like the medieval tavern-like restaurant with a front view of the Roman Aqueduct where he ordered suckling pig and I refused to eat it because I was so sad for the baby pig. He made me eat it anyway and I loved it. This time, Mom, Dad, Sophie, Ed and I went together to relive my old fading memories. Our first stop was the Palacio Real de la Granja de San Ildefonso. This was the summer palace for the Spanish monarchs of the 18th century. We didn't actually go in the palace as we decided to take the time to visit the gardens which were much more attractive. White marble statues and Neoclassical vases adorned the main gardens together with the beds of perfectly selected flowers. The gardens were a never-ending maze of avenues leading to dazzling pompous fountains with lead statues painted with auburn bronze-like paint. Unfortunately all of the fountains were turned off; since they use up too much water, they are made functional only three times a year. All of the fountains were dedicated to some pagan god or goddess, or mythical figures and animals such as Poseidon, Diana, Apollo, Andromeda, Saturn, dragons in half moons, cherubs riding swans, dolphins spewing water ...

GEORGE MINNE ~ sculptor ~ (°1866 - 1941).

GEORGE MINNE was a Belgian artist and sculptor famous for his idealized depictions of man's inner spiritual conflicts. A contemporary of Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele, Minne shows many similarities in both form and subject matter to the Viennese Secessionists, the fathers of Art Nouveau. Minne trained at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent, then in the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels from 1895 through 1899, and in 1891 was elected a member of the arts group Les XX. His most famous works are the "Kneeling Youth" series of sculptures, including "The Fountain of Kneeling Youths", a bronze-cast fountain in his home town of Ghent (the Marble originals are at the Folkwang Museum in Essen, Germany), as well as various smaller sculptures in private and museum holdings, such as the pair of "Kneeling Youths" at the Neue Galerie in New York City.

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Bologna, Italy by TravelPod blogger Carriejustin titled "Gotta love that Bolognese Sauce" Carriejustin's travel blog entry: "We only had about a day and a half to spend in Bologna but it was well worth it to be able to see the red buildings and eat the rich foods. Bologna is known as La Grassa (The Fat) not because the people are fat OH NO but because of the food and how wonderfully rich it is. We found it hard to discover the real city when our only full day was on Sunday, and as we are sure you must know Italy shuts down on Sundays. We decided we would have to come back to see and taste the real city sometime soon." Read and see more at: www.travelpod.com Photos from this trip: 1. "Bologna Sidewalk" 2.

PAIN Brokeback Fountain trophy

To get Brokeback Fountain, use Rugged Jarvis to take any male character for a dip in the hot tub. Then take him deep inside the Heiny Mine in Fail Village This is a bronze DLC trophy from Qelqoth of the Oochmasters clan. Rugged Jarvis was feeling a little wild, and he picked Jeff as his male playmate. He pulled him into the snow blower, which flung them into a lamp. They were electrocuted and thrown onto the ski jump. After sliding on the ice Jeff & Jarvis were getting cold, so Jarvis ooched them onto the geyser opening. Jarvis changed hands to get things going again, and the geyser erupted. How romantic! They soared among the clouds together, landing on Bikini Chick in the hot tub. Jeff & Jarvis got another liquid explosion, and flew across the village to the Heiny Mine. Jarvis took Jeff deep inside the Heiny, then the cart tipped and Jarvis lost his grasp on Jeff. Pity, really, they made a cute couple.

Il Marecchia è l'albero dell'acqua. La fontana di Torriana, Rimini.

Questa fontana è stata ideata da Tonino Guerra, progettata da Rita Ronconi e Claudio Lazzarini, e realizzata dall'amministrazione comunale di Torriana nell'agosto del 1992. Il nome della fontana è "Il Marecchia è l'albero dell'acqua". La frase del poeta Tonino Guerra incisa sulla formella di terracotta vicino alla fontana: " Questa fontana vuole vuole essere un ritratto del nostro fiume che d'estate muove i suoi rami tra i sassi diventando così l'albero dell'acqua". Io sono l'autore delle fotografie originali e della presentazione. Gigi Muccioli.

Getting Ready For Spring and Summertime Entertaining With Outdoor Lighting, Part One

Around wintertime, people are feeling the blues of having to stay cooped up inside the house. You gaze at the windows into the backyard, imagining the sun beaming down as you sip a margarita by the pool underneath your gazebo (that has a Garden Winds replacement canopy on it!). You anticipate the day when the first signs of spring break through, and as soon as you know it, you are outside again, enjoying the fresh, clean air, and taking in the lovely surroundings of your outdoor oasis. Well, you don't have to wait any longer! Why not get a head start and prepare your backyard for all of your spring and summer gatherings? Or you can brave the winter cold and start enjoying your yard again, with outdoor lighting? This article is part one in a series of three articles about lighting, and the many different types available to add ambiance and warmth to an outdoor setting. In part one, fire pots and torches are discussed.

As homeowners, lots of labor and love are placed into making the home a place to entertain, to live, and to enjoy. The same goes for the outdoors. Lots of time and effort are placed so that the backyard can become a getaway without having to travel far. You can create your own escape with flowers, trees, grass, a pool, gazebo, and other things. Why not add another dimension with lighting? Artificial lighting or natural lighting (fire) are options to consider when decorating with outdoor lights.

Vesta Fire Pot

A fire pot is a container made of earthenware that carries fire. Fire pots have been used since prehistoric times to transport fire from one place to another for warmth while traveling. In addition, they were used for cooking, for religious ceremonies and as weapons of war. Today, fire pots are handcrafted, ceramic works of art that come in a variety of shapes and colors. They create a stunning display without the smoke and the hassle of cleaning up messy ashes. Fire pots use alcohol-based, environmentally friendly gel fuel. The gel fuel burns cleanly and can be used indoors.

The Vesta fire pot combines the strong lines of a rectangle with the ever-changing shape of the fire. It was named after the Roman goddess of hearth and home. The Vesta fire pot displays exciting fire and adds a unique look to a garden or a tabletop. Its body creates clean lines and its dual tones lend interest to the piece. In addition, it can easily be distinguished with a metal snuffer. The four pads on the bottom of the fire pot enable it to sit on a flat, fireproof surface, and its ceramic construction offers versatility. The finish is hand applied, making each fire pot look distinct.

Torches

Set the mood while entertaining with a torch. Torches are great for parties and get togethers, or just relaxing after a long day's work. You can easily create a warm, festive and tropical environment with a lighted torch. The most commonly known type is the tiki torch, but they are also available in various materials such as copper, steel, and bamboo. A Vesta torch, Maderas Hanging Tealight, Copper Spiral Lawn Torch, are just a few examples offered.

Vesta

Add a Mediterranean inspired Citronella flame to the outdoors. The flame lamp features a bronze powder coated finish on all aluminum construction, featuring a leaf and bowl motif with a large candelabra wick system for maximum flame. The container is easy to fill, and uses a standard lamp oil or citronella oil. The citronella oil repels insects. Adding just 20 ounces of fuel will light the torch for over eight hours-that's the entire evening! The wick, made of fiberglass will never burn down. It has a heavy weighted base that provides good stability. The attached flame cup easily extinguishes the flame.

Maderas Hanging Tealight

As we discover that entertaining outdoors is an excellent alternative to entertaining indoors, the use of lighting has a great effect on the setting and the mood. The Maderas Hanging Tealight set are candle holders that are an ideal accompaniment to an evening of dinner, drinks, and good conversation at the end of a summer's day. This tea light holder is made of wrought iron with a chocolate brown powder coat and includes twelve tea light glasses, for a stunning cascade of illumination.

Copper Spiral Lawn Torch

These copper brushed torches are a great way to add light and ambiance to your backyard gatherings. The two-piece pole design allows you to stake them into the ground with an overall height of 50". It is topped with a thick, long-lasting fiberglass wick, and a snuffer cap on a chain to quickly put the flame out. It can burn for up to five hours, using lamp oil or citronella oil.
