Places to see in ( Colmar - France ) Eglise Protestante Saint Matthieu
Former Franciscan church whose nave was built in 1292 The city became the owner of the church in 1543. The Lutheran Reformation was introduced in Colmar in 1575 and the city made this church available to Protestants: the first worship is celebrated May 15 by Pastor Jean Cellarius. In 1627, the Lutheran cult was forbidden and the Jesuits seized this church, but in 1632, Gustave HORN, general of the king of Sweden, seized Colmar and reestablished the Protestant worship there. The Jesuits are hunted.
In 1715, the choir was assigned to Catholic worship by order of the King of France and the arch between nave and choir is walled.
In 1937, the choir was returned to the Protestants, but the wall of separation was destroyed only 50 years later in 1987. Restoration of the nave from 1991 to 1997. The Saint-Matthieu church (former Franciscan church , then Saint-Matthieu Protestant church) is a historical monument located in Colmar , in the French department of Haut-Rhin. Because of its remarkable phonic qualities, it hosts an annual international music festival.
Of the buildings of the time, there remains only the chapel, assigned to the Protestant worship. It consists of a choir along 30 m and up to 23 narrow but well lit by large windows. The Nave , 43 m long , and the aisles , reserved for the faithful, are separated from the choir by a rood screen. The same choir loft houses a wooden Christ dating from late xv th early xvi th century .

ALSACE BALADE A COLMAR 2015
Patrimoine architectural
La commune compte 58 monuments répertoriés à l'inventaire des monuments historiques et aucun lieu ni monument répertorié à l'inventaire général du patrimoine culturel. Par ailleurs, elle compte 51 objets répertoriés à l'inventaire des monuments historiques et 87 objets répertoriés à l'inventaire général du patrimoine culturel.
La ville possède un grand nombre de bâtiments en pan de bois (châtaignier pour la plupart) typiques de l'architecture alsacienne. Leurs couleurs variées, caractéristique tout à fait singulière, sont dues à l'interdiction par les Bâtiments de France d'utiliser la couleur blanche, qui serait trop dominante. Sur bon nombre de façades, on remarque la présence de linteaux ou d'enseignes qui fournissent des informations sur le propriétaire du bâtiment.
On peut citer la maison Pfister avec ses colombages, oriel et peintures murales, le Koïfhus ou ancienne douane qui est un des plus vieux bâtiments publics de la ville (1480), le corps de garde qui servait de maison de police et était construit à l'emplacement d'une ancienne chapelle ou la maison Adolph, l'une des plus anciennes de la ville (citée dès 1371).
Des édifices religieux remarquables sont présents, comme la collégiale Saint-Martin (style gothique), l'église protestante Saint-Matthieu ou le couvent des Dominicains qui abrite conjointement le musée Unterlinden avec son retable d'Issenheim et la bibliothèque municipale qui dispose de plus de 1 200 manuscrits et 3 000 incunables rhénans.
Le style Renaissance allemande est également présent dans la ville avec la maison des Têtes qui doit son nom aux masques grotesques qui ornent sa façade ou la cour d'appel qui est la plus haute juridiction d'Alsace à la suite de l'élévation de la ville au rang de capitale judiciaire en 1698.
Ces monuments baignent dans des quartiers pittoresques : la petite Venise qui doit son nom à l'alignement original des maisons de part et d'autre de la rivière Lauch, le quartier des tanneurs où les tanneurs faisaient autrefois sécher leurs peaux aux fenêtres, le quartier de la poissonnerie qui servait de lieu de vente de poissons frais.
Espaces verts
De nombreux parcs et jardins publics sont disséminés à travers la ville. Au total, ce sont 108 ha de verdures et 33 ha de jardins familiaux. Cela vaut à la ville d'être récompensée par quatre fleurs et par le Grand prix national du fleurissement depuis 1984 au palmarès du concours des villes et villages fleuris.
Le parc du Champ-de-Mars est situé entre la place Rapp au nord et la Préfecture du Haut-Rhin au sud. Il dispose de vastes espaces verts. Au centre, se trouve une fontaine surmontée de la statue de l'amiral Bruat édifiée en 1864 et construite par Bartholdi. Dans sa partie sud-ouest est installé un carrousel avec sa galerie fermée, modèle unique en Europe par son envergure. L'agencement de ce parc rappelle la croix de la légion d'honneur.
Le parc du château d'eau est situé à l'angle de l'avenue Joffre et de l'avenue Poincaré. Il est également appelé parc de la Cour d'appel. Sa superficie est de 13 990 m2M . Il héberge, comme son nom l'indique, l'ancien château d'eau de la ville érigé en 1884 et classé Monument historique. Une statue représentant Auguste Bartholdi est érigée à l'entrée sud-est du parc. La partie ouest est une magnifique roseraie s'étendant sur 450 m2 et composée de 990 plants répartis en 38 variétés.
De nombreux autres parcs et jardins sont disséminés dans la ville, parmi lesquels le parc Saint François-Xavier (9 980 m2), le parc Méquillet (5 753 m2), le square Hirn (jardin à la française) ou le square de la Montagne-Verte (3 273 m2).
À l'est de la ville se trouve le massif du Neuland/Fronholz qui s'étale sur 614 ha et dispose d'un parcours de santé et d'une maison de la nature, association qui a pour thème l'éducation à l'environnement et au développement durable. Le massif du Niederwald/Rothleible quant à lui couvre 778 ha.

World Bodypainting Festival Annual Body Painting a Day 2017 Body Painting on Beautiful Girls 16
Body painting, or sometimes bodypainting, is a form of body art. Unlike tattoo and other forms of body art, body painting is temporary, painted onto the human skin, and lasts for only several hours, or at most (in the case of mehndi or henna tattoos) about two weeks. Body painting that is limited to the face is known as face painting. Body painting is also referred to as (a form of) temporary tattoo; large scale or full-body painting is more commonly referred to as body painting, while smaller or more detailed work can sometimes be referred to as temporary tattoos.
Body painting with clay and other natural pigments existed in most, if not all, tribalist cultures. Often worn during ceremonies, it still survives in this ancient form among the indigenous people of Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific islands and parts of Africa. A semi-permanent form of body painting known as Mehndi, using dyes made of henna (hence also known rather erroneously as henna tattoo), was and is still practiced in India and the Middle East, especially on brides. Since the late 1990s, Mehndi has become popular amongst young women in the Western world.
Many indigenous peoples of Central and South America paint Jagua Tattoos, or designs with Genipa americana juice on their bodies. Indigenous peoples of South America traditionally use annatto, huito, or wet charcoal to decorate their faces and bodies. Huito is semi-permanent, and it generally takes weeks for this black dye to fade.[1]
Actors and clowns around the world have painted their faces—and sometimes bodies—for centuries, and continue to do so today. More subdued form of face paints for everyday occasions evolved into the cosmetics we know today.
Body painting is not always large pieces on fully nude bodies, but can involve smaller pieces on displayed areas of otherwise clothed bodies. There has been a revival of body painting in Western society since the 1960s, in part prompted by the liberalization of social mores regarding nudity and often comes in sensationalist or exhibitionist forms.[2] Even today there is a constant debate about the legitimacy of body painting as an art form. The current modern revival could be said to date back to the 1933 World's Fair in Chicago when Max Factor, Sr. and his model Sally Rand were arrested for causing a public disturbance when he body-painted her with his new make-up formulated for Hollywood films.[3] Body art today evolves to the works more directed towards personal mythologies, as Jana Sterbak, Rebecca Horn, Youri Messen-Jaschin, Jacob Alexander Figueroa or Javier Perez.
Body painting is sometimes used as a method of gaining attention in political protests, for instance those by PETA against Burberry.
Body painting led to a minor alternative art movement in the 1950s and 1960s, which involved covering a model in paint and then having the model touch or roll on a canvas or other medium to transfer the paint. French artist Yves Klein is perhaps the most famous for this, with his series of paintings Anthropometries. The effect produced by this technique creates an image-transfer from the model's body to the medium. This includes all the curves of the model's body (typically female) being reflected in the outline of the image. This technique was not necessarily monotone; multiple colors on different body parts sometimes produced interesting effects.
Joanne Gair is a body paint artist whose work appeared for the tenth consecutive year in the 2008 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She burst into prominence with an August 1992 Vanity Fair Demi's Birthday Suit cover of Demi Moore.[4][5] Her Disappearing Model was part of an episode of Ripley's Believe It or Not!.[6]
Body painting festivals happen annually across the world, bringing together professional body painters as well as keen amateurs. Body paintings can also typically be seen at football matches, at rave parties, and at certain festivals. The World Bodypainting Festival in Pörtschach (previously held in Seeboden) in Austria is the biggest art event in the bodypainting theme and thousands of visitors admire the wonderful work of the participants.
Body painting festivals that take place in North America include the North American Body Painting Championship, Face and Body Art International Convention in Orlando, Florida, Bodygras Body Painting Competition in Nanaimo, BC and the Face Painting and Body Art Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Australia also has a number of body painting festivals, most notably the annual Australian Body Art Festival in Eumundi, Queensland,[7] and the Australian Body Art Awards [8]

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping!

SUMMARY
=======
A tumulus (plural tumuli) is a mound of earth and stones raised over a grave or graves. Tumuli are also known as barrows, burial mounds or kurgans, and may be found throughout much of the world. A cairn, which is a mound of stones built for various purposes, may also originally have been a tumulus.
Tumuli are often categorised according to their external apparent shape. In this respect, a long barrow is a long tumulus, usually constructed on top of several burials, such as passage graves. A round barrow is a round tumulus, also commonly constructed on top of burials. The internal structure and architecture of both long and round barrows has a broad range, the categorization only refers to the external apparent shape.
The method of inhumation may involve a dolmen, a cist, a mortuary enclosure, a mortuary house, or a chamber tomb. Examples of barrows include Duggleby Howe and Maeshowe.
The word tumulus is Latin for 'mound' or 'small hill', which is derived from the Proto-Indo-European root *teuh2- with extended zero grade *tum-, 'to bulge, swell' also found in tumor, thumb, thigh, and thousand.

Visite de l'église basilique Notre-Dame de Douvres-la-Délivrande
La basilique Notre-Dame de la Délivrande est située à Douvres-la-Délivrande (Calvados) sur le lieu d'un pèlerinage dédié à la Vierge.
La basilique succède à deux édifices antérieurs. Une première chapelle fut détruite par les Vikings en 830. Une seconde chapelle fut édifiée vers 1150 sur le lieu de la découverte de la statue de la Vierge noire. La découverte de cette statue aurait été facilitée par un mouton. La statue originale fut détruite pendant les guerres de religion et remplacée par l'actuelle statue en 1580.
L'édifice fut construit entre 1854 et 1878 dans le style néo-gothique normand, au centre de la cité. En 1872, le pape Pie IX accorda à la Vierge Noire le privilège du couronnement puis Léon XIII l'érigea en basilique mineure en 1895. Elle fut consacrée le 22 août 1895. Les combats de la bataille de Normandie en 1944 ont peu affecté la basilique, seuls les vitraux ont dû être progressivement reconstitués. Orgue de chœur Roethinger de 5 jeux sur un clavier, le grand orgue Debierre construit en 1886 est invisible, caché derrière les arcades au-dessus de la statue de la Vierge , il comprend 16 jeux sur 2 claviers-pédalier.
Gustave Flaubert fait venir les héros de son roman Bouvard et Pécuchet en pèlerinage, et donne une description intéressante du site à l'époque où les pèlerinages étaient importants.
