This post is dedicated to the kind of unique, over the top, and beautiful bathrooms we all dream of. No cookie cutter baths here. These beauties are one of a kind. Bathing has turned into a mundane routine. Just jump in the shower, dry off and you are finished. BORRRRING! Bathing should be a treat!

Don't neglect you bathrooms! There is nothing like a relaxing soak in a big old tub. Light some scented candles, turn on some soothing music and allow yourself time for refreshing.

Explore #221 The second-oldest monastery in Prague, Strahov was founded high above Malá Strana in 1143 by Vladislav II. It's still home to Premonstratensian monks, a scholarly order closely related to the Jesuits, and their dormitories and refectory are off-limits. What draws visitors are the monastery's ornate libraries. Over the centuries, the monks have assembled one of the world's best collections of philosophical and theological texts, including illuminated (decorated with colored designs) manuscripts and first editions. There are more than 42 000 old prints. The rich wood-accented Philosophical Library's 14m-high (46-ft.) ceiling is decorated with a 1794 fresco entitled The Struggle of Mankind to Know Real Wisdom, by A. F. Maulpertsch, a Viennese master of rococo. Intricate woodwork frames the immense collection of books. View On Black

Belgian painter Alfonse Van Besten (1865-1926) embraced technology, utilising innovative color processes to transfer black and white photographs into vivid, at times lurid autochromes. The tableaux of his autochromes (a technology patented by the Lumière brothers in 1903 and the first colour photographic process developed on an industrial scale) are often bucolic and romantic. Demure ladies and … Continue reading "Alfonse Van Besten’s Dreamy Autochromes (1910-1915)"

Der Zwinger in Dresden ist einer der bedeutendsten Barockbauwerke. Er wurde von dem Architekten Pöppelmann und dem Bildhauer Permoser geschaffen. Begonne wurden die Arbeiten an dem Komplex 1714 im Auftrage August des Starken. Abgeschlossen wurde der Bau 1728 mit der Fertigstellung des Glockenspielpavillons. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archäologische Artefakte die in einigen Teilen der Stadt gefunden wurden, weisen darauf hin, dass das Gebiet schon in der Steinzeit bewohnt wurde. Urkundlich nachweisen lässt sich der Ort Dresden ( altsorbische Drežďany für Sumpfbewohner oder Auwaldbewohner ) seit 1206 in der Acta sunt her Dresdene. Es gibt keine Unterlagen über die Verleihung der Stadtrechte an Dresden. Möglicherweise wurden sie durch Wilhelm I im Dezember 1403 verliehen. 1485 wurde die Stadt herzogliche Residenzstadt der sächsischen Herrscher. Nach dem Stadtbrand 1685 wurde Dresden über die nächsten Jahrzehnte wieder aufgebaut und 1732 als 'neue Königliche Stadt' vollendet. Kulturelle Bedeutung erlangte Dresden unter Friedrich August I, der auch unter dem Namen August der Starke bekannt ist. 1918 wurde Dresden Hauptstadt des Freistaates Sachsens. Seit 1990 wird die im Krieg stark beschädigte und während des DDR Regimes starkt vernachlässigte Innenstadt mit ihren historischen Gebäuden wieder aufgebaut. Unteranderem die Frauenkirche, die im Oktober 2005 wieder eröffnet und geweiht wurde. Archaeological artifacts have been found in some parts of the town, indicate that the area was inhabited since the Stone Age. Documented evidence can be the place in Dresden 1206 in 'Acta sunt Dresdene'. There is no documentation regarding the award of city status in Dresden. Maybe they were given by William I in December 1403rd From 1485 Dresden was the ducal town residence of the Saxon sovereign. After the great fire in 1685 Dresden was rebuilt over the next few decades and 1732 as a 'new royal city' completed. Cultural significance Dresden gained under Friedrich August I, who is also known under the name of Augustus the Strong. 1918 Dresden became the capital of the Free State of Saxony. Since 1990, the badly damaged City in world war II and strong neglected innner city during GDR regime with his historic building, is rebuild again. Among other things, the Frauenkirche, which was reopened in October 2005 and consecrated. Johannes Heribert Pohl
