Dans un grand parc ayant appartenu à Aimard-François de Nicolay, comte d'Empire et chambellan de Napoléon Ier, fut construit vers 1860 un manoir par Théodore Frapart. 150 ans plus tard, abandonné, plafonds et toitures effondrés, il ne reste plus qu'une carcasse éventrée qui disparaît lentement, rongée par l'humidité, étouffée par la végétation.

Si snoda per 28 km. fino a Manin e inizia dalla presa d'acqua di Schienadasino nel comune di Bargagli, che è la principale. È sostenuto da grandiose arcate lungo le pendici delle montagne, e traversando per mezzo di alti ponti, sifoni e gallerie, le valli forniva ( e continua a fornire) di acqua tutta la città di Genova. Fu costruito dai Romani nel 200 AC e ci sono atti del 1232 quando fu prolungato fino a Staglieno.
Nel 1900 cominciò un declino, probabilmente per la potabilità dell'acqua ( allora non esistevano filtri). Nel 1900 fu eseguito l'ultimo grande lavoro : la copertura del canale con lastre di pietra di Luserna (un paese in provincia di Torino), che donó a gran parte del condotto il suo aspetto caratteristico, elegante ed unitario.
Tuttavia, dopo la metà dell' 800 si era già iniziato a costruire grandi Acquedotti privati : il Nicolay ( che portava acque dal bacino dello Scrivia),, il De Ferrari-Galliera ( con acque del Gorzente) e quello della Val di Noci ( che credo sia quello che alimenta casa mia).
Nella fotografia il Ponte Canale, del 1600, lungo 95 m con 5 pilastri, mentre sorge dietro ai monti il sole del mattino. È sul Rio Cancasca, presso Cavassolo (ancora comune di Genova) , dove è iniziata la nostra gita. Ai piedi un piccolo ponte romano, che résiste al tempo.
( Non si può non pensare alla solidità di questi ponti, che hanno resistito ai millenni e alla tragedia del Ponte Morandi, di cui gli esperti conoscevano la pericolosità sin dagli anni '70, dopo soli 7 anni dalla sua progettazione )

The construction of Ventspils Nicolay Lutheran Church was initiated at the beginning of the 18th century, but it dragged on until it was built at an impressive speed from 1834-1835, owing thanks to resoluteness of the pastor F.N. Paufler and financial support of Russian Tsar.
Built in late classicism style, the church got its name of St. Nicolay because he is the prospector of sailors and fishermen. Its architect and construction manager was Johann Eduard de Vite, the organ was built by J.T.Tīdermanis and improved by Kārlis Hermanis from Liepāja.
The altar piece painted by Alexander von Roenne in 1888, was given as a Christmas present to the church by the congregations of Ventspils and Piltene.
The modern history of petroleum began in the 19th century with the refining of paraffin from crude oil. The Scottish chemist James Young in 1847 noticed a natural petroleum seepage in the Riddings colliery at Alfreton, Derbyshire from which he distilled a light thin oil suitable for use as lamp oil, at the same time obtaining a thicker oil suitable for lubricating machinery. In 1846, Baku (settlement Bibi-Heybat) the first ever well drilled with percussion tools to a depth of 21 meters for oil exploration, based on data of Nicolay Voskoboynikov; it was 13 years before the Drake's well was drilled in Pennsylvania. The new oils were successful, but the supply of oil from the coal mine soon began to fail (eventually being exhausted in 1851). Young, noticing that the oil was dripping from the sandstone roof of the coal mine, theorized that it somehow originated from the action of heat on the coal seam and from this thought that it might be produced artificially.

Borre mound cemetery (Norwegian: Borrehaugene from the Old Norse words borró and haugr meaning mound) forms part of the Borre National Park at Horten in Vestfold og Telemark, Norway.
It is home to seven large and 21 smaller burial mounds. Excavations in the 1980s revealed that the oldest mounds date to 600 AD, i.e. prior to the Viking Age.
The park covers 45 acres (182,000 m²) and its collection of burial mounds is exceptional in Scandinavia. Today, seven large mounds and one cairn can be seen. At least two mounds and one cairn have been destroyed in modern times. There are also 25 smaller cairns and the cemetery may have been larger. Some of the monuments are over 45m in diameter and up to 6m high. Borrehaugene provides important historical knowledge and can be seen as evidence that there was a local power center from the Merovingian period to the Viking Age.
The first investigations of the cemetery took place in 1851–1852. Local road-builders used one of the mounds as a gravel-pit and in the process destroyed large parts of a richly equipped grave in a Viking ship. Antiquarian Nicolay Nicolaysen examined what was left of the mound. The grave contained weapons and riding equipment. The excavations uncovered an unusually good selection of craft work, much of which is on display at the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo.
This artistic craft work has become known as the Borre style and is today known for its beautiful animal and knot ornaments, which were often used for decorating harnesses. Some of the smaller cairns were investigated in 1925. They turned out to be simple cremation graves. More recent excavations were undertaken by archaeologist Bjørn Myhre in 1989 to 1991, both in and around the national park.
Gustav Borgen´s portrait of the Norwegian shipping magnate, industrialist and philanthropist Thomas Nicolay Fearnley (1841 - 1927). He was the son of the romantic painter Thomas Fearnley and the grandson of merchant Thomas Fearnley (1768 - 1834) who had immigrated from Yorkshire, England to Fredrikshald, Norway in 1753.
In 1869, Thomas Nicolay Fearney founded Fearnley & Eger, which became a leading Norwegian shipping company.

Mon Repos or Monrepos ( from the French for "my rest") is an extensive English landscape park in the northern part of the rocky island of Linnasaari (Tverdysh, Slottsholmen) outside Vyborg, Russia. The park lies along the shoreline of the Zashchitnaya inlet of the Vyborg Bay and occupies about 180 hectares (440 acres) of land.The manor of Monrepos was established by Baron Ludwig Heinrich von Nicolay who bought this parcel of land in 1788. The estate was considered a jewel of Old Finland and belonged to his descendants until the Soviet takeover in 1944.

Nikolai Johannes Astrup was born in the village of Kalvåg on the island of Frøya in Norway. Astrup grew up in Ålhus in rural Jølster between the Sognefjord and the Nordfjord. He was the eldest son of eleven children born to Christian Astrup (1844–1919) who was a parish priest at Ålhus Church in Jølster. Astrup was the great-grandson of Nils Astrup (1778–1835), a member of the Norwegian Parliament. Astrup's father wanted him to become a priest and sent him to Trondheim Cathedral School from 1895-97. However, Astrup failed his Latin exams as he was more interested in drawing and painting. In 1899, Astrup left for Kristiania (now Oslo) where he matriculated as student at the Royal Academy of Design. Astrup quickly left to join Harriet Backer's painting school where he studied until 1901. Astrup lived in Paris where he studied at the Académie Julian and was a student of Christian Krohg at Académie Colarossi from 1901-02. Astrup later traveled to Berlin, Dresden, Munich, and Hamburg.
By 1902, he had returned to and settled in Jølster. In 1911, Astrup studied under Lovis Corinth in Berlin at Arthur Lewin-Funcke's school of Painting.
Astrup held three significant exhibitions during his lifetime; at Kristiania 1905 and 1911 and at Bergen in 1908. In 1907, he was married to Engel Sunde with whom he had eight children. Astrup struggled with tuberculosis and general poor health as his asthma worsened. In 1913, Astrup settled with his wife and children in Sandalstrand (now Astruptunet) on the south side of Lake Jølstravatn across from the village of Ålhus. He died of pneumonia in 1928 at the age of 47 in the neighboring municipality of Førde. Astrup was buried in Ålhus Cemetery, in Jølster Norway.
Sculpted by Jean-Antoine Houdon, 1779
Displayed at the Kimball Art Museum, Fort Worth TX
In his portraits of the men of letters and nobility of the Enlightenment, Houdon created an entirely new genre, in which he achieved spontaneity and informality of expression without compromising the decorous and elevated presentation of his sitters. His bust of Aymard-Jean de Nicolay, marquis de Goussainville (1709–1785), was exhibited in the Salon of 1779, where it was described as “joining to the most perfect resemblance an elegance and nobility of form.” Nicolay was a member of the noblesse de robe, nobility whose judicial and administrative function dated back to the sixteenth century. As First President of the Chambre des Comptes, he was the senior official at the sovereign court responsible for the royal accounts and for the registration of all laws touching upon the Crown’s domain, a position that had been held by his family since 1506.
It is in the carving of Nicolay’s face and hair that Houdon’s genius as a portraitist is most fully engaged. The treatment of the eyes is particularly masterful. He first cut out the entire iris, then bored a deeper hole for the pupil, taking care to leave a small fragment of marble to overhang the iris. The effect is a vivacity and mobility of expression that was acclaimed even in the artist’s own time; it was noted that Houdon was perhaps the first sculptor in the history of art who knew how to render eyes.

The Geschiedenis Monument or History Wall is located at the intersection of Bernstrasse and Bruckenstrasse, the underpass area of the road leading to Skagerak Bridge. It is a piece of colorful artwork that covers the wall of an enclosed staircase leading to the sidewalk on that bridge. Clay tiles of different sizes, shapes, and colors have images and dates on them that relate to important events in Cochem's history. Separating these tiles are flowing groups of rocks, pebbles, and bricks which add texture to the artwork.
Most noticeable in the center is the red cross placed on a white background - the emblem for the Archbishop of Trier who held this area through the early middle ages to the early 1800s. At the top of that center tile, is an image of him seated in a chair wearing a Bishop's hat and holding a cross. Below that tile is an image of his Reichsburg Castle with its historical dates of ownership. Smaller images such as his seal and Elector's crown surround the center of this art work while clusters of tiles of varying sizes are woven around that core to show other events in Cochem's history from the Romans, to knights and soldiers with weapons, peasant grape growers, to the Skagerak bridge, and a timeline of events to 1949. Nothing, of course, is in English, but the images and dates are enough to decipher their meaning.
