"Mont Fort is a mountain of the Pennine Alps, located near Verbier in the Swiss canton of Valais. It lies on the range between the valleys of Bagnes and Nendaz, north of the Rosablanche. With a height of 3,328 metres above sea level, Mont Fort is the highest summit north of the Col de Louvie (2,921 m).
Mont Fort is surrounded by several glaciers, the largest being the Glacier de Tortin, on its northwestern side. The second largest is the Glacier du Mont Fort, located on its northeastern side. On its eastern side lies the lower summit Petit Mont Fort (3,135 m). The Glacier du Petit Mont Fort lies between the two summits. There are no glaciers on the south side of the mountain. A small lake named Lac du Petit Mont Fort (2,764 m) lies on the south flank.
The summit of Mont Fort is easily accessible by cable car from the heights of Verbier or Nendaz. The cable cars from the two valleys converge at the intermediate station (2,894 m) north of the Col des Gentianes, the upper section reaching a height of 3,308 metres. In the winter and early spring season, the mountain, including the Glacier de Tortin, is the culminating point of the 4 Vallées ski area.
Der Mont Fort ist mit einer Höhe von 3'329,0 m ü. M. der höchste mit einer Bahn erschlossene Berg in der Region 4 Vallées in den Walliser Alpen. Der Berg ist von Verbier aus zu erreichen mit der Gondelbahn und Sessellift nach La Chaux - Luftseilbahn Col des Gentianes - Mont Fort. Auf der Plattform der Bergstation befindet sich ein Iglu mit 25 Plätzen, in dem man sich mit einem Fondue verpflegen kann. Von der Bergstation der Seilbahn führt ein felsiger Steig zum Gipfel-Kreuz. Von der Spitze des Mont Fort sieht man über fünfzig Berggipfel, darunter das Matterhorn, den Dent Blanche, den Dent d’Hérens und den Mont Blanc. In der näheren Umgebung sind die vergletscherten Gipfel von Rosablanche und des Grand Combins mit dem Glacier de Corbassière zu sehen.[1]
Die 125-Personen-Seilbahn aus Richtung Siviez über Tortin zum Col des Gentianes wurde 1982 gebaut, ebenso ein Gletscherlift auf dem Glacier de Tortin. Später wurde ein parallel verlaufender Gletscherlift ergänzt. Die Gipfelbahn wurde 1983 fertiggestellt. Die als Jumbo titulierte Pendelbahn (150 Personen-Gondel) aus Richtung Verbier von La Chaux zum Col des Gentianes wurde 1987 gebaut. Der Sommerskibetrieb wurde 1999 eingestellt. Seit der Wintersaison 2007/2008 können auch die Gletscherlifte nicht mehr betrieben werden."

As unusually cold weather gripped Europe at the beginning of March 2018. Nicknamed: The Beast from the East, the cold front caused travel chaos, with hundreds of flights cancelled. Trains broke down. Motorists found themselves stuck on highways and trapped in frosty conditions for hours. This is particularly unusual weather is something that happens very rarely in this country. The big chill also froze canals in the Stavoren - Netherlands. Ice on the Voorstraat canal was thick enough for residents to lace up their skates and glide across its frozen surface. It’s just cool. You can go fast and you see the world from a slightly different perspective. When the temperature drops low enough for long enough, the lakes and the canals become sparkling highways for the skaters. Little kiosks are set up on the ice to dispense heart-warming liqueurs. I really love this part of our culture. Almost everyone, young or old, likes to skate and is smiling and friendly. Today it's the first day of ice skating on natural ice in Friesland. Still no ideal conditions, but I enjoy the sound of my skates over the ice and the view of the village. It is minus two degrees celcius and great skating weather. During the month January and February thousands of geese can be found here in Friesland. The geese are migratory, moving south or west in winter. The greylag geese fly in V- formation to save themselves energy. Friesland in the winter is a real skater’s paradise.
Photo taken from the canal in Stavoren - Netherlands. Parents with children are back on the ice. It was laid-back and hot chocolate milk was enjoyed as it should be. The ice is not equally good everywhere but here in Stavoren you can get nice skating in the front street. Look at the many geese flying in the air. At this time of year they are easy to find in Friesland.
Eindelijk weer een weekend waarin de Friezen de ijzers konden onderbinden. 'It sil heve', 'it giet oan'... Nou, mooi niet. Ook in de winter van 2017/18 hebben we de meest beroemde Friese woorden niet horen uitspreken; althans niet door de persoon die daarvoor aangewezen is. Wij Nederlanders hebben de schaatsen wel uit het vet gehaald en hier en daar een tochtje gereden. Nog geen ideale condities, maar ik geniet van het geluid van de ijzers over het ijs en het uitzicht op het dorpje. Het is min twee graden celcius en heerlijk schaatsweer. Eenden, meerkoeten en zwanen verzamelen zich bij het laatste wak in Stavoren. Ouders met kinderen staan weer op het ijs. Het was beregezelig en er werd genoten van warme chocomelk zoals dat ook hoort. Het ijs is niet overal even goed maar hier in Stavoren kan er aardig geschaatst worden in de voorstraat. De Grauwe gans, grijsbruine gans met forse oranje snavel en roze poten is hier heel veel te zien in Friesland. Duizenden ganzen vliegen altijd in V-formatie waardoor de krachtsinspanningen over de groep worden verdeeld.

After a break with various other photos, i think it's time to get back to the American muscle series. The next featured car is a very ... famous one: General Lee from "The Dukes of Hazzard"! The original General Lee, or just General, was a 1969 Dodge Charger running on various versions of the classic V8 (from 5,2L to 7,2L) and delivering up to 370HP to the wheels. It was named after the American Civil war general Robert E. Lee and on its rooftop it bears a Confederate flag, a variant of the square battle flag of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. Rumors has that General's doors were welded shut and that's why the brothers had to jump through the window to get in and out of the car. In this photo we have a General Lee replica that I found in a local car show a few months back. Interesting detail: at the background you can see a Dodge Challenger Hellcat (powered by a supercharged 6,2L V8 producing a whopping 707HP!), which in my eyes is the modern version of the classic Dodge Charger (although there is a modern Dodge Charger)
Dukes of Hazzard theme song:

Μετα απο ενα διαλειμμα με διαφορες φωτος, νομιζω ηρθε η ωρα να συνεχισω τη σειρα των American muscles. Το επομενο αμαξι ειναι ενα αρκετα ... διασημο: ο General Lee απο την τηλεοπτικη σειρα "The Dukes of Hazzard"! Ο αυθεντικος General Lee, η απλά General, ηταν ενα Dodge Charger του 1969 το οποιο φορουσε διαφορες εκδοσεις του κλασσικου V8 με τον κυβισμο να κυμαινεται μεταξυ 5,2 και 7,2 λίτρων και την αποδοση να φτάνει τους 370 ιππους. Πήρε το ονομα του απο τον στρατηγο Robert E. Lee του Αμερικανικου Εμφυλιου πολεμου και στην οροφη του φέρει μια Confederate σημαια απο το στρατο του Lee της Βόρειας Virginia. Φημες λενε οτι οι πορτες του General ηταν ηλεκτροκολλημενες και δεν ανοιγαν γιαυτο και οι αδερφοι Dukes πηδουσαν απο τα παραθυρα καθε φορα που ηθελαν να μπουν η να βγουν απο το αμαξι. Σε αυτη τη φωτο βλεπετε μια replica του General Lee που βρηκα σε ενα τοπικο auto show μερικους μηνες πριν. Ενδιαφερουσα λεπτομερεια: στο background φαινεται ενα Dodge Challenger Hellcat (εξοπλισμενο με εναν supercharged V8 6,2 λιτρων αποδοσης 707 ιππων) το οποιο κατα τη γνωμη μου ειναι ο λογικος απογονος του κλασσικου Dodge Charger (παροτι υπάρχει μοντερνα εκδοση του Charger).
The San Juan Bautista Indian Church in San Juan Chamula does not look great from the outside, but it's amazing inside (unfortunately photos are not allowed inside).
There is no bench. Instead, pine leaves dot the entire floor of the church. Thousands of candles are lit, and complete Indian families pray fervently on the floor.
The walls are dotted with statues of saints.
There is no priest, the bishop has the right to enter the church only once a year, for baptisms.
I felt inside this church an incredible mysticism and fervor!

Une église indienne incroyable
L'église indienne San Juan Bautista à San Juan Chamula ne paie pas de mine de l'extérieur, mais elle est incroyable à l'intérieur (malheureusement les photos y sont interdites).
Il n'y a aucun banc. A la place, des feuilles de pins parsèment tout le sol de l'église. Des milliers de bougies sont allumées, et des familles indiennes complètes prient avec ferveur assises sur le sol.
Les murs sont parsemés de statues de saints.
Il n'y a pas de prêtre, l’évêque n’a le droit d’entrer dans l’église qu’une seule fois par an, pour les baptêmes.
J'ai ressenti à l'intérieur de cette église un mysticisme et une ferveur incroyable !

Winter sunset on the sea. Helsinki. January in Finland.
The small islands of Uunisaari in the south of Helsinki.
In the north island there is a beautiful beach with cafe, restaurant, traditional Finnish sauna and outside jacuzzi. Also you can grill your own sausages with a stunning view of open sea. During winter you can also dip in to a frozen Baltic sea... if you want 😂
PS. We have some snow here today (maybe 1 cm). I can see it through the microscope. 😂

From the platform on the pyramid of the moon in Teotihuacan, we have a splendid view that let us realize the gigantism of this city.
The city was founded around 100 BC and lasted until the 7th - 8th century AD. At its peak around 500 AD, its population was estimated at 125000 inhabitants or more (source Wikipedia).
In the left of the photo, we discover the pyramid of the sun, 65 meters (216 feet) high. The large driveway opposite is called the Avenue of the Dead, It is more than 2 km (1,3 mile) long.

De la plateforme sur la pyramide de la lune à Teotihuacan, on a une vue splendide qui permet de se rendre compte du gigantisme de cette cité.
La cité a été fondée autours de l'an 100 avant JC et a duré jusqu'au 7ème - 8ème siècle après JC. A son apogée autours de l'an 500, sa population était estimée à 125000 habitants ou plus (source Wikipedia)
Sur la photo, on aperçoit sur la gauche la pyramide du soleil, haute de 65 mètres. La grande allée en face s'appelle la Chaussée des Morts, elle fait plus de 2 km de long.

The giant prickly stick insect (Extatosoma tiaratum), also refferred to as spiny leaf insect, Australian walking stick and Macleay’s spectre, is a large stick insect from Australia (Queensland and New South Wales) and New Guinea. Like almost all 6000 stick insects it has a Phasmid Study Group number or PSG number: PSG 9.
This species of stick insect looks more like a cactus than like a twig. Its body is bulky and covered in small spines. On its legs it has big lobes that are also spiked and look like leaves of a desert plant. Extatosoma tiaratum are often light to mid brown, but occasionally you can find green, beige or dark brown varieties.
The difference between (adult) males and females is enormous.
The females are bulky, thick and 15 cm long. They have lots of spines on their back and large lobes on their legs.
The males are really slender, have little spines and reach a length of 9 to 11 cm. The adult males have long wings and are able to fly, while the females have small wings (about 2,5 cm long).
Like most stick insects this species is docile by nature. It is nocturnal and will generally only move during the night. It has an amazing defense strategy: it will mimic a scorpion when threatened. If they are disturbed, they will curl up their tail to mimic a scorpion.
De Australische flappentak of Australische doorntak (Extatosoma tiaratum) is een grote wandelende tak met flappen en stekeltjes.
Om de 6000 wandelende takken uit elkaar te houden, worden ze niet alleen aangeduid met een Latijnse naam, maar ook met een zogenaamd PSG-nummer. PSG staat voor Phasmid Study Group. Extatosoma tiaratum is PSG 9.
Dit insect komt voor in het Zuidwesten van Australië en op Nieuw-Guinea, in het tropisch- en het gematigd regenwoud.
Deze soort lijkt eigenlijk meer op een soort cactus dan op een tak of blad. Ze hebben opvallende stekeltjes en uitstulpingen op hun lijf. Ze zijn vaak bruin gekleurd; heel soms zijn er ook groene varianten van deze soort te vinden.
Wat opvalt is het grote verschil tussen mannetjes en vrouwtjes.
De vrouwtjes zijn dik, stekelig en kunnen wel 15 cm lang worden, met korte voelsprieten. Ze hebben kleine vleugeltjes maar kunnen niet vliegen. Bij gevaar rollen de vrouwtjes hun staart omhoog. Zo lijken ze op een dreigende schorpioen.
De mannetjes zijn juist smal met lange voelsprieten, weinig stekels en een lengte van ongeveer 10 cm. De mannetjes hebben, als ze volgroeid zijn, lange vleugels en kunnen ook echt vliegen.
Deze opname is gemaakt in de buitenrvolière van www.passiflorahoeve.nl bij Harskamp op de Veluwe.

Perugia, capital of the region of Umbria, is worth visiting. It covers a high hilltop and part of the valleys around the area. The history of Perugia goes back to the Etruscan period; Perugia was one of the main Etruscan cities. The city is also known as the universities town, with the University of Perugia founded in 1308. Perugia is also a well-known cultural and artistic centre of Italy. The city hosts multiple annual festivals and events.
Perugia historic centre is as compelling as any in Italy, filled with fine Etruscan, Roman and medieval monuments – just be prepared for lots of walking when visiting Perugia. The capital city of Umbria, oozes with charm from almost every corner. There is the requisite town wall, a good chunk of which is still standing. Interesting architecture that hints at the city’s old age of 310 or 309 B.C. Panoramic view from Porta Sole on church Saint Maria Nuova. It's a parish documented since 1285, when the three portals that are still visible on the side are made. Damaged by fire, the church was rebuilt in 1376. It has been renovated and restored several times over the centuries. Please have an amazing 3D view from: earth.google.com.
Perugia is de hoofdstad van de regio Umbrië en ligt prachtig gelegen op een heuvel op 500 meter hoogte. De stad is rijk aan monumenten en kunstwerken die getuigen van een opeenvolging van culturen door de eeuwen heen, van de Etrusken tot de Romeinen, van de Middeleeuwen tot de Renaissance, tot het heden. Dit maakt Perugia tot een van de mooiste kunststeden van Toscane en Umbrië. Daarnaast is Perugia een echte universiteitsstad. De Universiteit van Perugia is een van de oudste van Europa. Perugia heeft een kosmopolitisch karakter, waar het heel goed toeven is. Perugia kent ook een prachtig centrum waar het heerlijk flaneren is over de Corso Vanucci, de centrale straat, alwaar u op een van de vele terrasjes kunt genieten van een espresso of een aperitief of van een heerlijke Umbrische maaltijd. De stad kent een terrasvormige opbouw met als middelpunt Piazza della Signoria met het Palazzo dei Consoli, een van de mooiste raadhuizen in Umbrië. Dit grote plein kijkt uit over de lagere gelegen delen van de stad en het glooiende landschap om Gubbio heen. De Santa Maria Nuova hierboven te zien is een parochie gedocumenteerd sinds 1285, toen de drie portalen die nog steeds aan de zijkant te zien zijn, zijn gemaakt. Beschadigd door brand, werd de kerk herbouwd in 1376. Door de eeuwen heen werd het meerdere malen gerenoveerd en gerestaureerd. Verdere bezienswaardigheden zijn de Palazzo Ducale, de Dom en vele andere kerken.
Continuing my "photographic journey" to classic American muscles, 1970 Chevy Caprice follows. I think I have seen the owner of this one, a classic gentleman that owns a tuxedo store downtown (for some reason it made total sense to me a person with his style to drive this car). This Caprice is in perfect condition and I believe at some point received a nice paint job as I cant imagine Chevy selling this car with purple color. The car probably runs on one version of the Turbo V8 ranging from 6,6L to 7,4L (yeah, no concern about fuel efficient engines back in 1970s) and delivering between 250 and 350hp. I like Caprice's simple lines and extended length, it definitely follows the design of that era with a less muscular look. Every time I see this car, the first things that pops to my mind is that this I want to be my gateway car in case i ever have to do a .. robbery! The photo was taken with my phone, so apologies for the relatively low quality.

Συνεχίζοντας το "φωτογραφικο ταξιδι" στα κλασσικά American muscles, σειρά εχει το Chevrolet Caprice του 1970. Πιστευω οτι εχω δει τον ιδιοκτητη του συγκεκριμενου, ενας κλασσικος ηλικιωμενος κυριος, ιδιοκτητης ενος μαγαζιου που φτιαχνει κουστουμια (για καποιο λογο μου φαινοταν απολυτα λογικο καποιος με το στιλ του να οδηγει αυτο το αμαξι). Αυτο το Caprice οπως βλεπετε ειναι σε τελεια κατάσταση και σε καποιο σημειο της ζωης του πιθανοτατα να δεχτηκε ενα ολικο βαψιμο καθως δε νομιζω να εβγαινε σε μωβ χρωμα το 1970. Κάτω απο το καπω βρισκεται καποια εκδοση του υπερτροφοδοτουμενου V8 με τα κυβικα του να κυμαινονται αναμεσα στα 6.6 και 7,6 λιτρα (καμμια ανησυχια για οικονομια καυσιμου τοτε..!) με την ιπποδυναμη να υπολογιζεται μεταξυ 250 και 350 ιππων αναλογα με την εκδοση του κινητηρα. Μου αρέσουν οι σχετικά απλες γραμμες του Caprice καθως και το μακρυ σουλουπι του. Σαφέστατα ακολουθει το design της εποχης με ενα ελαφρώς λιγότερο μυωδες look. Οσες φορες εχω δει το συγκεκριμενο αμαξι, μια σκεψη που μου ερχεται στο μυαλο ειναι οτι αυτο θα ηθελα να ειναι το "αμαξι διαφυγης" σε περιπτωση που ... εκανα μια ληστεια..! Η φωτογραφια τραβηχτηκε με κινητο εξου και η σχετικα κακη αναλυση.
...because I want to tell a story about a wonderful world around me.

Perugia historic centre is as compelling as any in Italy, filled with fine Etruscan, Roman and medieval monuments – just be prepared for lots of walking when visiting Perugia. Piazza IV Novembre is located in the heart of Perugia, surrounded by some of the most impressive monuments in the city. The Griffin and the Lion are the two symbols of the city of Perugia above the entrance of Hall of Notaries. You will find Piazza IV Novembre in the center of Perugia, a few steps from some of the famous buildings in the city. This square is the ideal place to relax. In the neighborhood you can visit impressive art galleries, admire old buildings or see enormous cathedrals. On the square are numerous cafes and restaurants where you can recover from all the sightseeing.

Dit grote plein kijkt uit over de lagere gelegen delen van de stad en het glooiende landschap om Gubbio heen. Rocca Paolina een unieke bezienswaardigheid. Paus Paulus III gaf in 1540 een architect de opdracht om vestingmuren om de stad te bouwen. De architect koos er gelukkig voor om de poorten in de muur op te nemen. Op verschillende niveaus onder de grond dus, loop je door elkaar kruisende straatjes met tongewelven. Door bogen met elkaar verbonden middeleeuwse huizen, torens, waterputten. Over de Via Baglioni, de belangrijkste ondergrondse straat, kom je via een systeem van roltrappen boven bij Piazza Italia. Het Piazza IV Novembre ligt in het hart van Perugia en wordt omringd door enkele van de meest indrukwekkende monumenten uit de stad. Je vindt het Piazza IV Novembre in het centrum van Perugia, op een steenworp afstand van enkele van de bekende gebouwen in de stad. Dit plein is de ideale plek om even te ontspannen. In de buurt kun je indrukwekkende kunstgaleries bezoeken, oude gebouwen bewonderen of enorme kathedralen aanschouwen.
