A slim church in Montesclado, High Pyrenees, Catalonia. Photo by SBA73 on Flickr.
Both the church square and the church’s own façade, in Sant Esteve de Montesclado, are very slim. Even so, they managed to make it fit in the steep streets of this village in Pallars.
Ok but like I feel like people, especially living in the West kinda don't understand how difficult the situation in Ukraine is, especially given how little information we have about the real victims rate.
It is possible, close to certain say some, that in 2025 Russian and Belarusian military will try to attack other countries and many people here totally are making plans where to hide and preparing for the worst.
The West won't be affected as in bombed or having Russians roaming through their citizen's houses, commiting atrocities so it's easy to forget and ignore but it's a huge mistake to do that.
Supporting Ukraine is vital for the whole Europe and United States and I want you all to remember that, pushing your politicians to take any possible action.
For 200 years we had sawed and sawed and sawed at the branch we were sitting on. And in the end, much more suddenly than anyone had foreseen, our efforts were rewarded, and down we came. But unfortunately there had been a little mistake…The thing at the bottom was not a bed of roses after all; it was a cesspool full of barbed wire. ... It appears that amputation of the soul isn't just a simple surgical job, like having your appendix out. The wound has a tendency to go septic.
i'm tired of Eastern European countries being sacrificied by the West in order to appease Russia. this is exactly what happened after WW2, this is what might as well happen now
Also known as a sack-back gown. It was a women’s fashion of 18th century Europe. At the beginning of the century, the sack-back gown was a very informal style of dress. At its most informal, it was unfitted both front and back and called a sacque, contouche, or robe battante. By the 1770s the sack-back gown was second only to the court dress in its formality. This style of gown had fabric at the back arranged in box pleats which fell loose from the shoulder to the floor with a slight train. In front, the gown was open, showing off a decorative stomacher and petticoat. It would have been worn with a wide square hoop or panniers under the petticoat. Scalloped ruffles often trimmed elbow-length sleeves, which were worn with separate frills called engageantes. The casaquin (popularity known from the 1740s onwards as a pet-en-l’air) was an abbreviated version of the robe à la française worn as a jacket for informal wear with a matching or contrasting petticoat. The loose box pleats which are a feature of the sack-back gown style are sometimes called Watteau pleats from their appearance in the paintings of Antoine Watteau.
