High resolution (2 gigapixels) spherical panorama taken on top of the scaffolded "Roter Turm" (red tower) of Veste Coburg. Camera is located 5 m above the tower's weathercock. The panorama shows a very rare view on Coburg, as renovations (with a scaffolding around the tower) take place only once in 50 years. Taken with permission of the Bayerische Schl"osserverwaltung (Bavarian Palace Department)

The space of the traditional crossing (crossing the central aisles and the transept) here is replaced by a large space of C20xL30xH30m without any central support column, covered by a vault identical to the nave (mixture of vault of combados and fan) supported on ribs centered in inserts attached to the outer walls.

The cloister is a synthesis of different genres and styles, reflecting an effective interpretation of the principles of late Gothic. There were three campaigns for its construction between 1503 and 1551. Jacques de Boytac is its original author, and he worked here until 1516. From then on it is Jo~ao de Castilho who finishes this cloister, with slight decorative changes, as regards the pilasters originally cylindrical exteriors. It is a square-shaped cloister, faceted in the corners (virtual octagon) and two vaulted floors in limestone. The four sides of the cloister galleries have 20 medallions that show instruments of Christ's passion, and royal heraldry.

The Jer'onimos cloister is the first of its kind in Portugal, with two vaulted floors and a square plan, with cut corners, forming a virtual octagon. It is considered a masterpiece of world architecture and constitutes an aesthetic statement of extraordinary beauty, whose harmony resulted from the skill and delicacy of the masters who, in three successive campaigns, dedicated themselves to its construction - initially designed by Diogo de Boitaca, underwent adaptations from Jo~ao de Castilho and was completed by Diogo de Torralva.

Prior to 1551, the Choir was used, among others, for the fundamental activities of the monks of the Order of S~ao Jer'onimo (prayers, songs and religious services), since the Chapter Room remained unfinished until the 19th century. Community prayer also called “Divine Office” was the most significant of religious duties. This prayer was divided into seven moments, that is, seven hours - The Canonical Hours - throughout the day. Thus, seven times a day, the monks entered the choir to pray, reciting or singing the aforementioned “Divine Office”. They did so at Cadeiral (row of wooden chairs, connected to each other and fixed to both sides of the walls of a choir). In the first part of this long prayer, the monks could be seated in the chairs of the Cadeiral; in the second, they had to pray standing. In this case, they were allowed to rely on mercies, that is, on a small protruding piece placed under the seat of each of the choir's chairs. This then allowed the monk to support himself, relieving, for a moment, the weight he exerted on his feet.

It is a cloister with about 55 meters of side, 4 galleries and 7 sections in each, plus 4 common to the angles. It is initially Gothic in construction and has only one floor, as was the custom at that time, which makes the roof also serve as terraces that run through all the galleries. It is covered by cross vaults and in the part facing the center, it has large buttresses topped with gargoyles. This cloister was started on a par with the church, by Afonso Domingues in the last years of the 14th century and continued, from 1402, by Huguet. The whole part of roofs with thin ribbed vaults is by Master Huguet. The flags of the arcades of this cloister with complex geometric compositions, shapes of the vegetal world, and Manueline symbols (Cruz de Cristo and armillary sphere) are the work of Mateus Fernandes during the reign of D. Manuel I.

Cloister D. Afonso V, built in the reign D. Afonso V (1448-1482) by the master Fern~ao de 'Evora. This is the first two-storey cloister in Portugal. The upper floor has a wooden roof, and its style is much more regular and austere than the Royal Cloister. Intended for the daily life of the Dominican friars, its simplicity even today allows attentive visitors to grasp some of the mysticism that emanates from these cloister spaces. It is important to note that this Cloister is more recent than the Royal Cloister, however it has an almost medieval aspect, more austere, without flaming laces or canopial arches, looking even older than the other cloister. This is a rationalistic purification architecture, the so-called «Gothic Despojado», a variant of the Tardo-Gothic that had some projection in Portuguese architecture between ca 1430 and ca 1460. Another example of this style is the Church of the Convent of Palmela 1443-1460.

King D. Duarte ordered the construction of this dependency, as a private pantheon for himself, his family and descendants. This space was started by Huguet in an octagonal shape, with seven radiant chapels. The eighth side is filled by the Manueline portal that gives you access.

The upper floor has a wooden roof, and its style is much more regular and austere than the Royal Cloister. 15th century art is guided by a vision focused only on what is Portuguese, in a strict sense, insofar as it views art as the materialization of the «collective spirit of the nation». This reductive nationalist approach ignores the role that the importation of works of art and the circulation of foreign artists played in defining artistic culture and material culture in the 15th century.

In the 1940s, Harry Gault, aka ‘Dirty Harry’, was a local independent logger, a ‘gyppo’ logger, who gained a reputation for relentless logging in the Snoqualmie area of Washington State. He built roads and logged trees in places thought by other loggers to be too inaccessible to attempt. Dirty Harry’s Museum features his abandoned GMC logging truck at its final resting place about 2.9 miles and 1,893 of elevation gain up an unsigned and unmaintained forest trail that forks off of the recently improved Dirty Harry’s Peak Trail. The truck is a GMC CCKW, also known as “Jimmy’ or the G-508 by the military ordinance supply catalog. It was an off road capable 2-1/2 ton 6x6 military truck built from 1941 to 1945. Dirty Harry’s truck is fitted with a logging boom.
