We took a shorter hike along part of the Ice Age Trail today. It just dipped into the 30’s for the first time a few nights ago and we’re loving that the mosquitoes are finally gone! The smell of decaying leaves and pine was incredible on this hike, as were the golden colors.
The monastery existed in the 15th century. In the documents it appears for the first time in 1431. Then the old wooden house was rebuilt from the foundations under the reign of Radu cel Mare and his brother Vlad cel Tanar (Vladut) between 1499-1501 and 1510-1512. It was painted between 1514-1515 by the famous painter Dobromir from Targoviste, helped by Jitian and Stanciu.
Suffering the robbery of Gabriel Bathory's troops in January 1611, and the damage caused by the troops of Imperial General Heissler in 1689, it was repaired in 1713 and re-engraved by Constantin Brancoveanu's great master, Constantin, aided by Preda, Nicolae and Radu.
Between 1845 and 1853, extensive works were carried out to restore the church and restore the cells initiated by the ruler Gheorghe Bibescu, the church then repainted by the painter A. Derigny.
Between 1912 and 1940, the Nicolae Filipescu Military High School operated here, before moving to Breaza following the devastating 1940 earthquake.
All the buildings that surround the Church today were rebuilt from the ground up between 1953-1958, by the care of Father Patriarch Justinian, and the church is the only preserved building from the old monastic ensemble.
The current painting in the church is new, made by the painter Arhimandrite Sofian Boghiu.
In the narthex of the church, which has become a royal tomb since 1456, are the tombs of the voivodes of Targoviste: Vladislav II, Radu cel Mare and his sister Caplea, Vlad cel Tanar, Vlad innecatul, Patrascu cel Bun, Mihai Movila (lord of Moldavia, died in Targoviste) and Radu Badica.
Between 1912 and 1913, two white marble sarcophagi created by the sculptor Franz Storch were placed on either side of the narthex. They houses the tomb of Radu cel Mare and the head chest of Mihai Viteazul.
At present it is a monastery of nuns who intertwine prayer with work.

Le piranga écarlate, anciennement nommé tangara, est un oiseau qui, naturellement, est de couleur écarlate. C'est un oiseau de la famille des cardinalidés, qui sont de l'ordre des passereaux.
Il est complètement rouge, à l'exception de ses ailes et sa queue qui sont noires.
La femelle n'est pas de la même couleur, elle est de couleur jaune et les ailes tirent sur le gris.
Le piranga écarlate niche dans les forêts où les arbres sont à maturités. Il préconise les forêts où il y a de la pruche et des pins blancs. On le retrouve à l'est de l'Amérique du Nord.
Le nid est construit par la femelle. Elle le placera sur une branche, mais éloigné du tronc.
Le nid est fabriqué avec de petites branches, des racines et des poils d'animaux, afin de le rendre douillet.
Après l'accouplement, la femelle pond généralement 4 ou 5 oeufs. Elle couvera ses oeufs sur une période de plus ou moins deux semaines.
Les petits seront par contre nourris par les deux parents pendant une quinzaine de jours. Les petits seront aptes à voler après seulement dix jours.
Les pirangas écarlates se nourrissent d'abeilles, de chenilles, d'insectes et de petits fruits.
Son nom anglais est 'Scarlet tanager' et son nom scientifique est Piranga olivacea.
La durée de vie du piranga écarlate est environ une dizaine d'années.

The mural Keith Haring made in 1986 is visible from the Willem de Zwijgerlaan where you are able to overlook the Westelijk Marktkanaal (canal). Keith Allen Haring (May 4, 1958 – February 16, 1990) was an American artist whose pop art emerged from the New York City graffiti subculture of the 1980s.
Mural Keith Haring
Haring applied the mural in 1986 to a depot of the Stedelijk Museum, located on the site of the Central Market Halls. Haring made the mural during a stay in Amsterdam for a solo exhibition in this museum. The performance shows a kind of fabulous animal with a kind of fish tail. This animal is ridden by a person who has a St. Andrew's cross on the chest. The artwork measures 12 by 15 meters and is one of the artist's few surviving murals, as well as one of the largest of his hand in public spaces in Europe. The artist's signature can be seen under the mural to the right, together with the three St. Andrew's crosses from the Amsterdam coat of arms.
The view of the artwork was shielded from the nineties by an external aluminum insulation protective wall, as the building suffered from moisture. The work was actually only preserved in the minds of local residents and a few artists. In the years after 2010, plans were made for the redevelopment of the site of the Central Market Halls.
The artist Mick La Rock started a lobby in 2014 to make the mural visible again. The collaboration with, among others, the Keith Haring Foundation, the Stedelijk Museum and the construction consortium that is redeveloping the site, has resulted in the artwork being on display again since 20 June 2018 after the aluminum wall has been removed. From the public road, the artwork can only partially be seen from a parking lot on Willem de Zwijgerlaan at Karel Doormanstraat.
Due to the possible demolition of the building in question, it was first examined whether the wall with the artwork could be moved to the Museumplein, but that turned out to be unfeasible. In order not to lose the artwork, a re-use of the building was then sought.
The mural was found to be in poor condition in 2018, a restoration is urgently needed, according to the Keith Haring Foundation. The money had been raised for this in 2019, the restoration took place in 2020.
The weather forecast promised sun and no clouds the whole day long, so I started on early morning at Hamburg to get with IC 2414 to Sierksdorf. Two hours later RE 11448 followed, which I caught at Neustadt in Holstein. Only the weather did not know anything about the forecast. After that, I decided to ride my bike to Lensahn to let me bring back to Hamburg by the same train as on the picture, but into opposite direction.
Le Faucon pèlerin est une espèce de rapaces robuste, de taille moyenne, réputée pour être l’oiseau le plus rapide du monde en piqué. Ses proies sont presque exclusivement des oiseaux, mais certains individus peuvent également s'attaquer à de petits animaux terrestres. Wikipédia

Coming towards the end of my 'pink' sunset shoot at Findhorn Bay the other evening, I turned to look down the Bay towards Kinloss and Forres. The contrast in colour between the 2 directions was extreme with only a few upper clouds hinting at the hues towards the north in an otherwise blue vista. The slightly thicker haar in this direction aded to the scene's tranquillity and I just about got away with the 5 second exposure to flatten the slightly rippled water.
