The switch of the light on a night stand needing fixing. One of the few places that still has an incandescent bulb. I saw an opportunity for the week 6 theme in the 52 weeks: the 2021 edition group: Lights at Night.
Being under curfew and taking pictures pictures outside at night (while walking the dog) was not a real option.

The NRP Sagres is a tall ship and school ship of the Portuguese Navy since 1961. As the third ship with this name in the Portuguese Navy, she is sometimes referred to as Sagres III.
Design and specifications.
The ship is a steel-built three masted barque, with square sails on the fore and main masts and gaff rigging on the mizzen mast. Her main mast rises 42 m (138 ft) above the deck. She carries 22 sails totaling about 2,000 m2 (22,000 sq ft) and can reach a top speed of 17 kn (31 km/h; 20 mph) under sail. She has a sparred length of 89 m (292 ft), a width of 12 m (39 ft), a draught of 5.2 m (17 ft), and a displacement at full load of 1,755 long tons (1,966 short tons).
Ship history
The three-masted ship was launched under the name Albert Leo Schlageter on 30 October 1937 at Blohm & Voss in Hamburg for Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine. The ship was named after Albert Leo Schlageter, who was executed in 1923 by French forces occupying the Ruhr area. Her first commander was Bernhard Rogge. Sagres is a sister ship of the Gorch Fock, the Horst Wessel, and the Romanian training vessel Mircea. Another sister, Herbert Norkus, was not completed, while Gorch Fock II was built in 1958 by the Germans to replace the ships lost after the war.
Following a number of international training voyages, the ship was used as a stationary office ship after the outbreak of World War II and was only put into ocean-going service again in 1944 in the Baltic Sea. On 14 November 1944 she hit a Soviet mine off Sassnitz and had to be towed to port in Swinemünde. Eventually transferred to Flensburg, she was taken over there by the Allies when the war ended and finally confiscated by the United States.
The Sagres at OpSail 2000

In 1948, the U.S. sold her to Brazil for a symbolic price of $5,000 USD.[1] She was towed to Rio de Janeiro where she sailed as a school ship for the Brazilian Navy under the name Guanabara. In 1961, Ambassador Teotónio Pereira of Portugal, who was also a man of the sea, loved sailing ships, and had been an organizer of the first Tall Ships’ Race, persevered in his mediations and the Portuguese Navy bought the Guanabara to replace the previous school ship Sagres (which was transferred to Hamburg, where she is a museum ship under her original name Rickmer Rickmers). The Portuguese Navy renamed Guanabara as Sagres (the third ship of that name), where she remains in service to this day.
In 2010, the ship performed her longest voyage, a round the world trip performing an approximate total of 35000 miles, under the command of CMG Pedro Proença Mendes. The ship left Lisbon on 19 January and returned on 24 December, having participated in Velas Sudamerica 2010, a historic Latin American tour by eleven tall ships to celebrate the bicentennial of the first national governments of Argentina and Chile. She also took part in the Expo Shanghai, among other events during that year.
The ship has sailed under the Portuguese flag since 1962. For that reason, in 2012 there were major commemorations of her 75th anniversary and 50 years in the service of the Portuguese navy.

I am grateful for winters beauty. It can be so bitter cold and hard to get around in the snow but there's something so magical about how fresh snow glistens like diamonds and icicles form and how pretty they are when the sun shines on them......
We had 80 degree weather today, so we put down the jeep top and headed to the river. Gracie was happy to cool off in the river even though the water was still quite cold.

I thought that it might be interesting to show the colour version of the 6 marbles (b&w) shot .... as subtle as the original colour is.
Please take a look at the b&w version 6 marbles (b&w)

Assise en passager à l'arrière d'une voiture je me suis amusée à prendre en photo les voitures qui arrivaient en sens inverse...
Sitting in the back of a car I have fun to shot cars who came in the opposite direction...

Italien / Südtirol - Ultental
Ultimo Farm Trail
Ultner Höfeweg
The Ulten Valley (German: Ultental or Ulten, Italian: Val d'Ultimo) is a 40 km long mountain valley in the western part of the province of South Tyrol in northern Italy.
It is the valley of the stream Falschauer, a right tributary of the Adige. Its orientation is southwest to northeast, parallel to the lower Vinschgau, and it is located south of Meran. The valley ends in the commune of Lana. A small road leading south connects the valley with Proveis and the Val di Non in Trentino.
The municipality Ulten covers most of the Ulten valley. The lower part of the valley is in the municipality of St. Pankraz. The population of the Ulten valley is predominantly German-speaking (more than 98% according to 2001 census). The westernmost, highest part of the valley is part of the Stelvio National Park.

The Ultimo Farm Trail - "Via dei Masi" in Italian, "Ultner Höfeweg" in German - is one of the best ways to get to know the valley and its beautiful old mountain farms. Starting in Pracupola (Kuppelwies), we follow the trail on the sunny side of the valley until Santa Geltrude (St. Gertraud) and hike back on its shady side. The trail is 18 km long and can be done in one or two days. Today, we decide to do the longer of the two parts of the Ultimo Farm Trail. Starting at the Ultimo Valley Museum (Ultner Talmuseum) in San Nicolò (St. Nikolaus), we pass the church and hike upwards, following the signpost "Ultner Höfeweg". First, the trail leads up the valley into the forest.
We see and smell the first signs of spring. Up and down the valley, across some small bridges and passing several beautiful mountain farms with typical shingle roofs, we follow the trail through forest and meadows. The trail is very well marked and maintained. After about 3 km, we reach the highest point of this hiking tour at 1,468 m a.s.l. Getting closer to the top of the valley, the trail leads gently downwards until we reach Santa Geltrude.
After a short rest we start our way back on the other side of the Valsura river. After about 20 minutes from Santa Geltrude, we pass the huge ancient larch trees before we finally reach San Nicolò, the starting point of the Ultimo Farm Trail, which unites culture, way of life, history and nature in a very beautiful and unique way. This tour is particularly recommendable from late spring (when also the shady side of the valley is empty of snow) until autumn.

Das Ultental, auch einfach Ulten genannt (italienisch Val d'Ultimo), ist das 40 km lange Tal der Falschauer in den Ortler-Alpen in Südtirol. Es verläuft parallel zum nördlich gelegenen Vinschgau und mündet bei Lana ins Etschtal. Der größte Teil des Ultentals gehört zu den Gemeinden Ulten und St. Pankraz, der Taleingangsbereich zur Gemeinde Lana. Die obersten Talabschnitte befinden sich im Nationalpark Stilfser Joch.
Die Ortschaften im Ultental, in talauswärts gerichteter Reihenfolge, sind
St. Gertraud (1501 m, ca. 300 Einwohner)
St. Nikolaus (1256 m, ca. 300 Einwohner)
Kuppelwies (1153 m, ca. 150 Einwohner)
St. Walburg (1190 m, ca. 2200 Einwohner)
St. Pankraz (735 m, ca. 1568 Einwohner)
Zwischen St. Walburg und St. Pankraz zweigt nach Süden die Straße über das Hofmahdjoch ins Nonstal ab.
In der Nähe von St. Gertraud befinden sich die drei Ultner Urlärchen, die auf ein Alter von 850 Jahren taxiert werden.
Der Ort St. Walburg weist mit dem latènezeitlichen Brandopferplatz am Kirchhügel eine im Alpenraum herausragende archäologische Fundstelle auf.
In der Mitte des Ultentals befindet sich das Skigebiet Schwemmalm. Des Weiteren gibt es eine Langlaufloipe von St. Nikolaus nach St. Gertraud.
Das Ultental bietet auch viele Tourenmöglichkeiten für Bergwanderer. Angefangen von gekennzeichneten Wanderwegen bis hin zu hochalpinen Tourstrecken. Der höchste der Ultner Berge ist die Hintere Eggenspitze mit 3443 m.
Im 19. und Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts hielten sich besonders im Badeort Mitterbad bei St. Pankraz viele berühmte Persönlichkeiten auf, so etwa Kaiserin Elisabeth v. Österreich, Bismarck, Franz Defregger, Hermann Sudermann, Franz Kafka, Hermione v. Preuschen, Domherr Graf zur Lippe, Thomas Mann und Heinrich Mann. Viele kamen wegen des bekannten Arztes und Philosophen Dr. Christoph Hartung von Hartungen, der in Riva am Gardasee das Sanatorium von Hartungen betrieb und im hinteren Ultental, bei St. Nikolaus, seine Sommervilla Hartungshausen besaß.
Die Wasserkraftwerke im Ultental sind eine Reihe von Speicherkraftwerken, welche die Wasserkraft der Falschauer und ihrer Nebenflüsse und -bäche mit Hilfe von sechs Stauseen zur Gewinnung von Energie nützen.

Der Ultner Höfeweg eignet sich besonders gut, um einen Eindruck vom Ultental zu bekommen und die urigen Höfe, die das Tal so besonders machen, aus nächster Nähe zu erkunden. Der Höfeweg startet in Kuppelwies und führt auf der Sonnenseite taleinwärts bis nach St. Gertraud, talauswärts verläuft er auf der Schattenseite - insgesamt ist er etwa 18 km lang und kann in einer Tageswanderung als auch in zwei Teil-Etappen zurückgelegt werden. Wir entscheiden uns heute für den längeren der zwei Teilabschnitte. Wir starten am Ultner Talmuseum in St. Nikolaus und wandern an der Kirche vorbei aufwärts, der Markierung "Höfeweg" folgend.
Der Weg führt taleinwärts und in einer Steigung in den Wald hinein. Der Frühling liegt in der Luft und die ersten Boten sind auch hier schon zu sehen. In ständigem Auf und Ab, über Brücklein und vorbei an hübschen Paarhöfen - natürlich mit typischen Schindeldächern - im Wald und über Wiesen. Der Weg ist stets gut ausgeschildert, die Orientierung ist einfach. Den höchsten Punkt der Wanderung (1.468 m ü.d.M.) erreichen wir nach etwas mehr als 3 km. Nähert man sich dem Talschluss, geht es allmählich bergab, bis man im Dorf St. Gertraud ankommt. Nach einer kleinen Rast machen wir uns auf den Rückweg, der entlang der anderen Seite der Falschauer verläuft.
Dieser Abschnitt ist schattiger und erst im späten Frühling schneefrei. Nach etwa 20 Minuten ab St. Gertraud gelangen wir zu den Ultner Urlärchen. Deren Umfang ist wahrlich erstaunlich! Blickt man auf die gegenüberliegende Talseite, staunt man über die Lage mancher Höfe. Allmählich nähern wir uns wieder St. Nikolaus, wo unsere Wanderung am Ultner Höfeweg endet. Kultur, Lebensweise, Geschichte und Natur sind entlang dieses Weges in einzigartiger Weise vereint. Empfehlenswert vom späten Frühling (Schattenseite oft erst spät schneefrei) bis Herbst.
