Courtyard of the Berenguer d'Aguilar palace in Barcelona, Catalonia.

This palace is located in Montcada street, a narrow street in Barcelona's old city with many beautiful little palaces because, centuries ago, it was home to many of Barcelona's most important families.

The Berenguer d'Aguilar palace was built in the 13th century for the Caldes family, but takes its current name from Berenguer Aguilar who bought it in 1463. The Aguilar family lived here until the 16th century, a time period in which they did most reforms that established the house as we see it today. A few more Baroque additions were added in the 17th century and mostly removed in the 20th century.

The courtyards, like the one you can see in this post, are the central point of all the Montcada palaces, because they follow the typical structure of a Catalan Gothic house, common in many Mediterranean domestic architectures. The courtyard in the centre serves as the entrance, place for parking the carriage, light and breeze source for the rooms, and it's where the staircase is located, so the inhabitants can go up to the other floors.

This palace's architectural history is quite similar to the other palaces of this street. Because of their history, Medieval structures and elements survive next to Baroque windows and balconies.

Большой Каньон в Гренландии. Grand Canyon in Greenland.

Большой Каньон в Гренландии — самый длинный каньон на Земле, расположенный подо льдом Гренландии. Впервые о Ледяном Каньоне было опубликовано в августе 2013 года учёными из Бристольского, Калгарийского и Урбинского университетов.

Ледяной Каньон – холодная, но притягательная достопримечательность мира. Ледяная река несет холодную и удивительно прозрачную воду из древних ледников прямиком в океан, образуя на своем пути фантастические каньоны.  Большой каньон Гренландии расположен на северо-восточном побережье острова, вдоль берега Медвежьей бухты.  Он берет свое начало в центре острова и тянется до его северного побережья. Протяженность каньона – больше 750 километров. Глубина расселины достигает 800 метров, а ширина – 10 километров (масштабы напоминают Большой каньон в Колорадо). V-образные стены и плоское дно каньона говорят о том, что его создала вода, а не лёд. Как считают исследователи, примерно 4 млн лет назад гренландский мегаканьон мог быть руслом реки. Его образование позволяет объяснить, почему подо льдом Гренландии не возникли подледные озера, как это произошло в Антарктиде.

В сезон северного сияния, Большой ледяной каньон превращается в волшебное место, где ледяные образования отражают свет северного сияния, создавая неповторимое световое шоу в ледяных пейзажах.

The Grand Canyon of Greenland is the longest canyon on Earth, located under the Greenland ice. Ice Canyon was first published in August 2013 by scientists from the Universities of Bristol, Calgary and Urbino.

Ice Canyon is a cold but attractive landmark of the world. The icy river carries cold and surprisingly clear water from ancient glaciers straight into the ocean, forming fantastic canyons along its way. The Grand Canyon of Greenland is located on the northeast coast of the island, along the shore of Bear Bay. It originates in the center of the island and stretches to its northern coast.The length of the canyon is more than 750 kilometers. The depth of the chasm reaches 800 meters and the width is 10 kilometers (the scale is reminiscent of the Grand Canyon in Colorado). The V-shaped walls and flat bottom of the canyon indicate that it was created by water, not ice. According to researchers, about 4 million years ago, the Greenland megacanyon could have been a river bed. Its formation helps explain why subglacial lakes did not arise under the ice of Greenland, as happened in Antarctica.

During northern lights season, the Grand Ice Canyon transforms into a magical place where ice formations reflect the light of the northern lights, creating a unique light show in the icy landscape.

We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars, Now we just look down and worry about our place in the dirt.

Built on a rock outcropping above Cerro Gordo Road in Santa Fe, La Capilla de San Ysidro Labrador honors San Isidro Labrador, the eleventh-century patron saint of farmers. The chapel was built by Lorenzo López in 1928, using stones from his property and mud from the acequia.
