Ein Griff in die Mottenkiste:
Im Jahr 2008 fanden Umleiterverkehre über die alte Ostbahn statt. Betroffen von den Umleiter-Verkehren waren auch die internationalen Fernzüge zwischen Berlin und Warschau.
234 180 bespannte am Nachmittag des 23.02.2008 einen EC von Warschau nach Berlin-Lichtenberg und konnte nahe Müncheberg aufgenommen werden. Damals gehörten die typischen H-Telegrafenmasten noch zum gewohnten Bild auf der Ostbahn.
Wahrscheinlich wählte ich damals jene Stelle zum Fotografieren, um die alte Telegrafenleitung zu dokumentieren; Ich war zum Aufnahmezeitpunkt gerade erst 17 Jahre alt geworden; Eine meiner ersten Fototouren weit entfernt von Zuhause damals!

The Tower is an iconic landmark on top of the beautiful Cotswolds escarpment. It was the brainchild of the great 18th century landscape designer, “Capability Brown”. His vision was carried out for George William 6th Earl of Coventry with the help of renowned architect James Wyatt and completed in 1798 on Beacon Hill.

The Serra dos Órgãos National Park is the third oldest park in the country, representing an important milestone in the history of Brazilian Conservation Units. It was created during the Getúlio Vargas government on November 30, 1939. It currently has an approximate area of 20,024 hectares in the municipalities of Teresópolis, Petrópolis, Magé and Guapimirim.
It is one of the best places in the country to practice mountain sports, such as climbing, hiking, abseiling and others; besides having fantastic waterfalls. The Park has the largest network of trails in Brazil. There are more than 200 km / 124 miles of trails at all levels of difficulty: from the suspended trail, accessible to wheelchair users, to the heavy Petrópolis-Teresópolis crossing, with 30 km / 19 miles of ascents and descents through the high part of the mountains.
Among the climbs, the peak of God's Finger stands out, considered the starting point of climbing in Brazil, and God's Finger, chosen as one of the 15 best rock climbs in the world.
Selection of mountains and presenting other peaks besides God's Finger which is the most famous and known worldwide, get ready to know the other peaks such as: Devil's Needle, São João Hill, Santo Antônio Hill, Fish Head, Our Lady's Finger, Escalavrado (where I'm on the video), Friar's Crown, Friar's Wart, Carboy, Castles of Açu and Bell Stone.
SCOUT: "Daddy? Daddy!"
DADDY: "Yes, Scout?"
SCOUT: "Daddy, can we go out for a walk, please?"
DADDY: "Yes of course, Scout. Is there somewhere in particular you’d like to go?"
SCOUT: "Anywhere there are flowers, please Daddy!"
DADDY: "Well, it is wintertime now, Scout, so a lot of the flowers will be asleep, but we will see what we can find."
SCOUT: "Come on Paddy and Rosie! I know Daddy says that it’s wintertime, but if Cornelia found some pretty flowers for Moesje, maybe we can find some pretty flowers for Oleg and mijn beste vriend Peter."
ROSIE: "Who also happens to be mijn prins Peter! Yes! Let’s go, Scout! Peter saw me in his magical crystal ball, so I want to give him some beautiful flowers as a thank you for thinking of me!"
PADDY: "Yes, let’s go, but let’s wrap up nice and warmly first, everybear. "
SCOUT and ROSIE: "Yes Paddy!"
DADDY, PADDY, SCOUT and ROSIE: *Go for a walk.*
PADDY: "Oh look Scout and Rosie! There is a whole bush of pretty red Prunus flowers! We can pick some of them for mijn best vriend Oleg and your beste vriend and prins, Peter!"
ROSIE: "Prunes? Oh yuck! I hate prunes!" *Sticks out cute little pink bear tongue.* "They taste disgusting! Blagh!"
SCOUT: "Oh, I hate prunes too, Rosie! Yuck!" *Sticks out cute little pink bear tongue.* "Daddy makes me eat prunes when I can't..."
PADDY: "Ahem!" *Clears throat.* "Scout!"
SCOUT: "What?" *Looks at Paddy questioningly.*
PADDY: "There is no need to discuss bodily functions in public, Scout!" *Blushes pink beneath plush fur.*
SCOUT: "But it's true, Paddy! Daddy makes me eat them when..." *Lowers voice to a whisper.* "When I can't... can't... can't go visit the... the... the Lady Louisa!"
ROSIE: "Considering that mijn poor prins Peter got stuck on the poop chair, he might not like these Prune flowers that help you go poop."
SCOUT: "Oh, I hadn’t thought of that. We don’t want to upset mijn beste vriend Peter."
ROSIE: "Who also happens to be mijn prins Peter!"
SCOUT: "Maybe we better find a better kind of flower than these Prune flowers then, Paddy and Rosie!"
PADDY: "Prunus flowers, Scout and Rosie, not Prune flowers."
DADDY: "Actually Paddy, I think you'll find that those red flowers are actually Japonica and aren't Prunus at all. Sorry to correct you."
PADDY, SCOUT and ROSIE: "Oh thank you for telling us Daddy!"
SCOUT: *Scratches head.* "What is a Japonica, Daddy?"
PADDY: "Isn't that a type of Camellia, Daddy?"
DADDY: "Well, it is, but it is also the proper name of the Japanese quince or Maule's quince."
SCOUT and ROSIE: "Oh! Thank you Daddy!"
PADDY: "Yes, thank you for correcting me, Daddy."
ROSIE: "You are so knowledgeable Daddy!"
SCOUT: "I bet you know the names of every flower, Daddy!"
DADDY: "Well, perhaps not every flower, Scout, but quite a few common ones."
SCOUT: "Daddy? Daddy! "
DADDY: "Yes Scout?"
SCOUT: "Do quinces help you..." *Lowers voice to a whisper.* "Go to the Lady Louisa?"
DADDY: "Well they can Scout if you eat too many of them, but they don't work as well as prunes do. Why do you ask, Scout? Do you need some help?"
SCOUT: "No! No! No, Daddy!" *Shakes head vehemently.*
ROSIE: "Good! Well, now I know that it isn't a prune tree! I like these Japonica flowers! They are pretty! Maybe we can pick some for mijn prins Peter" *Smiles.*
My Paddington Bear came to live with me in London when I was two years old (many, many years ago). He was hand made by my Great Aunt and he has a chocolate coloured felt hat, the brim of which had to be pinned up by a safety pin to stop it getting in his eyes. The collar of his mackintosh is made of the same felt. He wears wellington boots made from the same red leather used to make the toggles on his mackintosh.
He has travelled with me across the world and he and I have had many adventures together over the years. He is a very precious member of my small family.
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
Rosie is Scout's cousin, because like Scout, she is a free trade knitted bear from Africa. She was made in Kenya by one of the Kenana Knitters, Martha Wanjira. She is made from home spun and dyed wool. She was a gift to me from two very dear friends, includng the one who gave Scout to Paddy.
Being colder here, Paddy and Scout are wearing hand knitted scarves, Paddy is wearing hand knitted hat and Rosie is wearing a hand knitted cape made by Lorna's Lovely Looks. Paddy sports a heart pin and Scout insisted on wearing a pink cupcake one, which seems most appropriate considering his perpetual grumbly tummy. Both were gifts from a good friend who is very fond of both Paddy and Scout.
Trying to catch up my delay ... (which is still very big) ... but I need to post a new photo from time to time ...
Thank you in advance for all your faves and comments. I might answer several WEEKS/MONTHS later. And I might post several photos in the meantime.
Merci d'avance pour tous vos faves et commentaires. Je vous répondrai peut-être dans plusieurs SEMAINES/MOIS. Et je posterai peut-être plusieurs photos entre temps.
France. Alpes. Département des Hautes Alpes (05). Massif des Arves. Photo prise lors d'une randonnée effectuée en solo sur le très célèbre et très fréquenté Plateau d'Emparis, au départ de la station du Chazelet, en passant par le Lac Noir et le Lac Lérié. C'était mon 10ème jour de rando sur les 18 jours où j'ai pu randonner lors de notre séjour alpin de 3 semaines pendant l'été 2022.
Je fais une petite parenthèse pour dire que dans 1 semaine, nous partirons pour notre séjour alpin de l'été 2023, en espérant qu'une fois de plus nous vivrons beaucoup de moments magiques et inoubliables. 😊 Mais d'ici là, j'ai du pain sur la planche pour finir de préparer les randos ...
Cette photo a été prise au début de la montée au Plateau d'Emparis, depuis la station du Chazelet, très tôt (à 7h58), à une heure où les couleurs et la lumière étaient particulièrement belles. Je me suis levé particulièrement tôt ce jour-là mais j'ai été amplement récompensé de ce départ inhabituellement matinal. 🙏😊
Tout au long de la rando, je n'ai pu que constater à quel point l'herbe du Plateau d'Emparis était complètement desséchée, même aux abords des 2 grands lacs du plateau, témoignage de cet été 2022 particulièrement chaud et sec. Et les paysages que j'ai pu voir n'étaient pas ceux d'un début de mois d'août mais d'un mois de septembre déjà bien avancé. Mais cela ne m'a pas empêché de goûter à la beauté de ce plateau, avec de nombreux sommets prestigieux visibles dans toutes les directions, et tout particulièrement la star des lieux, la Meije, située tout près du plateau, juste de l'autre côté de la Vallée de la Romanche. J'ai hésité à choisir une photo de la Meije. Finalement, c'est cette photo du Pic du Mas de la Grave (3020m) et du vallon du Torrent du Gâ que j'ai choisie. Mais ci-dessous, j'ai mis des liens vers des photos de la Meije et de ses glaciers.

The park relief is mountainous and characterized by rocky formations, with altitude between 540-2791 m (1,771-9,156 ft), and at its highest point is the peak of the Black Needles (Agulhas Negras).
In Itatiaia Plateau region, also known as "Upper Part", are the high fields and hanging valleys where there are several river sources. In the Park area are the origins of 12 major regional river basins, which supply two main basins: Rio Grande (Grand River), an affluent of the Paraná River, and the Paraíba do Sul River, the most important of Rio de Janeiro.
The Big Three:
*Pico das Prateleiras ('Peak of Shelves') (2,551m / 8,369ft) in the middle left:
It is one of the most impressive and beautiful landforms in Itatiaia Park. To the southwest, there is a gigantic wall that falls towards the Paraíba valley, but forms a ridge with little difference in level to the northwest that connects with Morro do Couto. flic.kr/p/2oJ4HiZ
*Pico das Agulhas Negras ('the Black Needles Peak') (2,791.5m / 9,156ft) on the left:
It is the highest mountain in the Park and one of the highest in Brazil. Agulhas Negras stands out in the landscape and it's no wonder. flic.kr/p/2oFZq2E
*Morro do Couto ('Couto Hill') (2,680m / 8,752ft) in the middle right:
It is a mountain, even though it has “hill” in its name.
Clun Castle sits high on a natural rocky mound in a loop of the river Clun, on the edge of the small, picturesque town of the same name. Founded shortly after the Norman Conquest to demonstrate the authority of the English monarchy over this part of the border region, the castle and the nearby settlement prospered in the 13th century thanks to the management of the Fitzalan family, but suffered a number of attacks from across the Welsh border. It was used as a hunting lodge in the 14th century, but was increasingly neglected, and by 1539 the castle was reported as ruinous.
