Donnerbrunnen
The Donner-Fountain in the center of New Market
Close-up view of the Providentia
Donnerbrunnen is the popular name for the by Georg Raphael Donner designed and 1737-1739 built Providentia-Fountain on the Neuer Markt in the first Viennese district Innere Stadt. The Viennese people but could not do much with the term providentia (Latin for Providence ), which is why they named it after its builder. Art historical often is also used the terminus flour market well (Mehlmarktbrunnen), as the New Market in the 18 Century still was a flour market.

Architecture
In the middle of the fountain, Providentia, the allegory of foresight or good government, not least also refers to the good water supply of Vienna. It is surrounded by four allegorical figures representing the rivers of the Archduchy of Austria. Such a scheme is in the Mannerist and early Baroque quite popular, a well-known example is the Fountain of the Four Rivers by Bernini in Rome. The representation of flows in the form of allegorical persons was to the 19th Century an example, about the Austriabrunnen on Freyung or at the Albertina ramp.
The four flow figures represent the four ages and temperaments. The tow male figures are representing the rivers of Upper Austria, the two female ones from Lower Austria.
Traun is a youthful figure who stands with a trident for a fish at the bottom of the basin. The figure is constructed in a very dynamic manner and offers no frontal view - it looks directly into the water.
Enns is an old ferryman leaning of a rock with an oar and so symbolising the Enns as important transportation route in the Alps.
Ybbs is a standing figure of a girl with a water providing vessel.
March is a female character who is leaning against a relief (possibly the Romans against the Marcomanni) representing a battle and thus accentuating the character of the Morava River as a border.
The pedestal surrounded by four cherubs spouting water fish (pike, carp, catfish, and salmon), which serves as the actual water dispenser of the well and the Danube symbolizing. The pelvis and the base of the fountain made of Mauthausen granite.
History
New Market overlooking the Donnerbrunnen (Carl Wenzel Zajicek, 1913)
In 1737 negotiations between the City of Vienna and Donner are documented (and with Lorenzo Mattielli ). The city of Vienna appears here as the owner, which in artistic determined by the imperial family and nobility rather baroque period is exceptional.
The figures for them Georg Raphael Donner only the models created were cast by Johann Nikolaus Moll in a lead-zinc alloy and 1739, on the feast of Emperor Charles VI. positioned. Under the reign of Maria Theresa , the nudity of the figures was seen as offensive and they were in 1773 allegedly removed at the behest of chastity Commission. The sculptor Johann Martin Fischer was commissioned to melt them down but recognized their artistic value and restored it. In 1801 they were put back in their original place. 1873, the figures were replaced by bronze copies of the originals now forming the center of the baroque section of the Austrian Gallery Belvedere. During the Second World War, the Donnerbrunnen was removed and only on 30 April 1947 re-erected.
In the 1980s, the thunder fountain (Donner-Brunnen) was a popular meeting place for Viennese subculture, especially the Mod movement.
FORT CARSON, Colo. – Staff Sgt. John M. Kraft, tank commander assigned to Company D, 1st Battalion, 66th Armor Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, waits in the hatch of an M1A2 System Enhancement Package Abrams Tank March 1, at the Mountain Post wash rack, for the rest of his unit’s tanks to roll out after being washed. Kraft, a native of Dunedin, Fla., conducted a live-fire exercise with 1-66AR Feb. 28 – 29, to test the capabilities of the unit’s M1A2 SEP Abrams Tanks, and work out any kinks before the brigade’s field training exercise. “The new M1A2 SEP tank differs from previous models as it includes thermal imaging and a set of electronic controls that work the gun on top of the tank,” he said. “All that extra equipment basically equates to a safer way to have more eyes downrange and more specific sectors of fire; now the crew can see more land and share what they are seeing with each other.”

Countdown Day #14
Today is many things ....
it marks the middle of the week, when we can all begin to see the light of the weekend approaching again ....
it is officially 2 weeks from now that I will be enjoying the Alaskan way of life .....
and there's one more thing that I celebrate today, but I'll wait on that one for just a few moments.
In 2010, it was probably our best year in returning to Katmai NP & Preserve and photographing the coastal brown bears. That year we visited in July with the specific purpose of spending time with the sows who had their cubs with them. We hit it just right .... there were numerous sets of sows and their cubs, anywhere from 1-4 each (cubs, that is with each sow). We traveled the landscape of Katmai, walking on their same game trails, with reminders of their presence all around us, be it bedded down areas, fresh scat, fresh scents, or my personal favorite always, tufts of their fur on branches that they undoubtedly rubbed themselves against. I've never felt such excitement in anticipation of catching the first glimpse of them, which is always way high on the "thrill meter". :-)
This day was no different.
What was different that year was the closeness that we found ourselves in amongst the magnificent bears.... not that we tried, it just happened. See, often sows will use humans to protect their cubs from other sows, or the occasional and unwelcome boar, as they set off for a fresh catch of incoming salmon. My heart was racing on that trip, on more than one occasion, due to the encounter that they allowed us to be a part of. The other thrill and added bonus to being there with so many sows and their cubs was observing their behaviors with them, especially during feeding time. They would gather up their cubs, slowly make their way to a more secluded section, while their cubs grew even more anxious than us for what was to come. Yes, it was time for their mom to take a break, lay down, and offer them up a special treat ... "liquid gold", or nourishing milk. How fun it was to watch them compete over getting the best spot for the feeding and bonding session. Like our own babies, they are quite frantic in the beginning, though after time, they relax and it's almost more of a "cuddle time", if you will. If the wind is not working against you and you're still, you can actually hear them purring.... just melts your heart. :-)
So, as I mentioned earlier, today is also a celebratory day and I chose with image for a reason. See, August 1-7th, 2013 is World Breastfeeding Week and I can't think of anything that could be more natural, nurturing, and bonding than time spent feeding our young, the way nature intended it, no matter the species.
Thanks for stopping by to view and especially for all of your thoughts and comments.

As described in a 1931 Brooklyn Daily Eagle article:
A series of co-operative shops right in your own home! That's one of the attractive features of Madison Gardens, 2425 Kings Highway (E. 24th St. to Bedford Ave.). These shops are for the use of tenants, and they are not visible from the street. But what an accommodation to the fortunate residents of the Gardens. These shops are connected with the different apartments by the interhouse telephone, so service can be practically immediate.
Another unique feature of this apartment house is the parcel receiving room, where the woman who has been out all afternoon can be sure of finding her purchases safe and sound on her arrival home.
In addition, this is a genuine gardent [sic] apartment, with garden court at the front, landscaped and shrubbed and 100 by 65 feet in size. Transit factilities [sic] are the finest, with the Kings Highway station of the B. M. T. Brighton line a short distance away, trolleys and buses operating almost at the door.
The apartments are in 2½, 3 and 4 rooms with bath, and 5 rooms and 2 baths. Sunlight and air are permanent features, since the building is completely detached on all sides. The kitchens have every built-in feature that would be looked for in this type of house, and in addition an electric clock in the dining alcove. Best of all, from the tenants' point of view, is the fact that no charge is made for the electric refrigeration. Bathrooms are in colored tile, with hampers, Venetian mirrored medicine cabinets, and in the 5-room apartments stall showers.

The Mercedes-Benz Type 300 (chassis codes W186, W188, and W189) were the company's largest and most-prestigious models throughout the 1950s. Analogous to today's S-Class, the Type 300 cars were elegant, powerful, exclusive, and expensive. The 300, 300b, 300c, and 300d touring cars were often referred to as Adenauers after Konrad Adenauer, the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany. In office from 1949 to 1963, he employed six custom convertible, hardtop, and landaulet versions of this model during his tenure.
The "W186" Type 300, introduced in November 1951, was essentially a pre-war chassis with a more-modern body. A modern 3 L (2996 cc/182 in³) straight-6 engine developing 115 PS (85 kW; 113 hp) was used, however, coupled exclusively to a manual 4-speed gearbox. The Type 300 was available as a sedan or cabriolet (officially called Cabriolet D), both with four doors and seating for six. One innovative feature was a rear load-levelling suspension, operated by a switch on the dashboard.
The 300 had a separate X-frame, made of ovoid steel tubes, a double wishbone, coil spring axle up front and Mercedes` typical rear swing axle with double coil springs; also drum brakes all around and a worm-and-sector steering, that was replaced in 1952 by a recirculating ball unit.
The Type 300 featured many luxury features. Options like Becker radio, VHF mobile telephone, and dictation machine were geared to the business man and politician. Among the custom features in Chancellor Adenauer's "parade cars" were writing desks, sirens, curtains, dividing partitions, sunroofs, and half-roof landaulet configurations.
6,214 saloon models and 591 Cabriolet Ds were produced until September, 1955 (including the 300b).
March 1954 saw power brakes introduced via a remote vacuum tank with the Type 300b. Vent windows were also introduced for the front windows. Power of the engine was upped to 125 PS (92 kW; 123 hp) via different Solex carburetters and a higher compression ratio (7.5:1 instead of 6.4:1).
A larger rear window was added in September, 1955 on the Type 300c. An automatic transmission was also introduced for the first time. This car was priced at $10,864 in the United States (DM 22,000 on the home market), with the convertible commanding a pricy $14,231 (DM 24,700). The c also featured a swing axle rear independent suspension.
A special Innenlenker model (also called the Type 300 Lang) limousine model rode on a 20 cm (7.9 in) longer wheelbase and became available from July, 1956 (price: DM 25,000).
While the Cabriolet D was cancelled after June, 1956 (51 built), the saloon remained in production until July, 1957 and was built in 1,432 units.
The "W188" Type 300 S was Mercedes-Benz's top-end vehicle on its introduction at the Paris Salon in October 1951. The Type 300 S came as a 2+2 coupe, cabriolet (with landau bars) (officially Cabriolet A), or roadster. Although mechanically similar to the contemporary W186, the largely hand-built W188 was marketed as one of the top luxury cars in the world.
7.8:1 compression and triple Solex carburettors raised engine output to 150 PS (110 kW; 150 hp) at 5000 rpm.
At DM 34,500 for all versions ($ 3,925 in the USA, these cars were significantly more expensive then the regular W186 cars.
From July, 1952 to August, 1955, a total of 216 Coupés, 203 Cabriolet As and 141 Roadsters were produced.
1955 saw the substitution of Mercedes-Benz's "low-pivot" independent suspension in the rear, and the addition of fuel injection in the Type 300 Sc whose inline-six now delivered 175 PS (129 kW; 173 hp) at 5400 rpm. Visually, a pair of chrome strips on either side of the hood denotes this "Sc" model.
Prices rose to DM 36,500 and 98 Coupés, 49 Cabriolet As and 53 Roadsters were built until April 1958.

Tidbinbilla Mountain (1615m asl) in the centre, as seen from Tidbinbilla Peak (1562m). The densely vegetated ridgeline of the Tidbinbilla masif, with its various knolls, peaks, and saddles, moves from the left midground of the the frame to the centre. It is possible to walk the ridgeline and reach Tidbinbilla Mountain, but only if you are prepared for some serious bush navigation, and pushing through challenging and at times seemingly hostile terrain in a fairly remote spot. Definitely not a walk for first timers. The three highest peaks of the ACT are visible in the background to the left of Tidbinbilla Mountain. Firstly, Mount Ginini (1762m), then the flat saddle of Mt Gingera (1857m), and lastly, just touching the clouds the hulking Mount Bimberi (1913m), a little over halfway between Tidbinbilla Mountain and the left edge of the frame. All three of these peaks were snow-covered. I came across the occasional patch of snow along the Tidbinbilla ridgeline this day, with most of the ridge being above 1400m, Unfortunately I was too busy bush-bashing to take many wildlife shots. But I did see a Crested Shrike-tit (Falcunculus frontatus) for the very first time. Unfortunately it was about 50 metres away and about 30 metres up a eucalypt, and I only managed to ID it from an unsatisfactory image. Nevertheless, the noise it made as it tore away bark, and its imposing posture as it worked around the massive trunk, impressed me and reminded me somewhat of woodpeckers.
This morning, a gentle breeze stirred as intermittent sunlight pierced through the clouds, illuminating the landscape. Understanding the importance of sunlight in nature photography, I attached the NikonTC14EII Teleconverter to my Nikkor500mm lens, eager to capture close-up shots, particularly of the industrious robins as they hurriedly built their nests. With the impending responsibilities of egg guarding and shared nutrition looming, these days were crucial for the avian community amidst the ongoing climate crisis.
As I entered Bradgate Park, my attention was immediately drawn to a jackdaw meticulously collecting nest materials. Further along, although the green woodpecker pair remained distant, I seized the opportunity to capture a rare moment of them side by side. Beyond the breeding season, these woodpeckers are solitary feeders, making the encounter all the more special.
After a rewarding three-hour excursion, on my way back to the car, I chanced upon a little egret. Concealing myself, I observed as it skillfully hunted amidst the flowing waters of the River Lin. With deft movements, it startled small fish, seizing its prey with precision before swallowing.
However, my primary focus for the morning was the beloved robin. Patiently, I watched the pair as they foraged, allowing them to acclimate to my presence. Finally, capturing one of their favorite poses beneath a "KEEP CLEAR" sign, I immortalized the moment with three captivating photographs.
With that, I conclude my nearly four-hour journey, sharing with you the highlights of my photo tour.
The Pied Wagtail, scientifically known as Motacilla alba, is a small passerine bird in the family Motacillidae. Here's some detailed information about this fascinating bird:
Physical Description:
The Pied Wagtail is a slender bird with a long, black-and-white tail that constantly wags up and down, hence its name.
It has a distinctive black and white plumage, with a black head, throat, and upperparts, and white underparts.
Its wings are dark with white wing bars, and it has a black bib or breastband, which contrasts sharply with its white throat and belly.
Both males and females look alike, although males might have slightly longer tails.
Habitat:
Pied Wagtails are highly adaptable birds and can be found in various habitats, including urban areas, parks, gardens, farmland, riversides, and wetlands.
They prefer open areas with short vegetation, such as grasslands, fields, and lawns, where they can forage for insects and other small invertebrates.
Behavior:
As their name suggests, Pied Wagtails are known for their distinctive wagging tail movements, which are believed to serve various purposes, including communication, balance, and flushing out insects.
They are active birds, constantly moving about as they search for food. They have a characteristic walking gait, often bobbing their heads as they walk.
Pied Wagtails are generally social birds and are often seen in small flocks, especially during the non-breeding season.
Diet:
These birds are primarily insectivorous, feeding on a variety of small invertebrates, including flies, beetles, caterpillars, spiders, and worms.
They often forage on the ground, picking insects from the grass or soil, but they also catch insects in mid-air during aerial pursuits.
Breeding:
Pied Wagtails typically breed from April to July. They construct cup-shaped nests made of grass, leaves, and moss, lined with softer materials such as feathers and hair.
Nests are usually built in a concealed location, such as in crevices, among rocks, or in vegetation close to water bodies.
The female usually lays a clutch of 4-6 eggs, which are pale grey or buff with darker speckles. Both parents share the responsibilities of incubating the eggs and feeding the chicks.
Conservation Status:
The Pied Wagtail is widespread and abundant throughout its range, and its population is considered stable.
However, like many other bird species, it faces threats such as habitat loss, pollution, and predation by domestic cats.
Overall, it is not considered globally threatened, and its conservation status is of least concern.
Cultural Significance:
In folklore, the wagtail's constant tail-wagging is sometimes seen as a symbol of restlessness or nervousness.
In some cultures, the wagtail is considered a harbinger of good luck or prosperity.
These birds are also popular subjects in literature, art, and poetry, often celebrated for their lively and distinctive behavior.
Overall, the Pied Wagtail is a charming and adaptable bird, known for its distinctive appearance and behavior. Its presence in various habitats makes it a familiar sight to many people, whether in urban or rural settings.

A couple of days ago I visited Griffith Park in LA. I love this place! Amazing that in such a busy, bustling city there is such a large peaceful area. I spent the day walking around and exploring the park, and then hiked up Mt Hollywood as the sun set, to get some night shots of the LA skyline. The views were simply stunning, and it was nice to be able to sit and watch the traffic chaos below rather than sitting in it.

Me gustaría saber hacer fotos de flores, como esas imagenes preciosas que alguno de vosotros tenéis, que parece que tengan vida y pueden hacernos sentir.
Pero en este pais de minifundios, donde la tierra en tan fértil que cada centímetro de ella se pelea y discute (los bien llamados "pleitos de marcos") no hay mucho lugar para ornamentos, así que estas son las flores de mi jardín, que no es que huelan muy bien, pero con un cacho de touciño e lacón fan un caldo............
Liesegang banding in quartzite in the Precambrian of Wisconsin, USA.
The Baraboo Ranges of southern Wisconsin are dominated by a hard, erosion-resistant Precambrian metamorphic unit called the Baraboo Quartzite. These rocks were originally marine sandstones and have been subjected to metamorphism and structural folding. Original sedimentary structures are preserved, such as cross-bedding and ripple marks. Baraboo Quartzites vary in color from pinkish to dark reddish to grayish. During metamorphism, quartz overgrowths formed over the original quartz sand grains. Long-term, modern weathering can result in original sand grains being released.
This unit has economic significance - it has been quarried historically and in modern times. The quartzite is broken down into gravel-sized pieces for use as railroad ballast and erosion-control rip-rap.
The lines, or "layers", in the quartzite shown above do not represent sedimentary bedding or lamination or any other sedimentary structures. This thin, closely-spaced banding is called "Liesegang banding". It usually occurs as irregular, reddish or brownish or orangish-brown iron oxide banding in porous rocks, particularly sandstones and pebbly sandstones. These features are almost universally referred to as “Liesegang banding”, representing precipitation lines of iron-rich minerals (e.g., hematite, limonite, goethite, etc.) at & along groundwater chemical interfaces. However, according to Neil Wells of Kent State University, the original concept of Liesegang banding (Liesegang, 1896) does not match up with what is seen in the rock record (see Wells et al., 2003).
True Liesegang banding refers to parallel bands of precipitate formed by diffusion along a single chemical gradient during one event. What's seen in the rock record often consists of sets of irregularly concentric iron bands, with different sets of bands quite frequently oriented in different directions, and showing cross-cutting and dissolution of older sets. Iron oxide banding in the rock record is clearly the result of numerous precipitation events over long periods of time by moving groundwater (Wells et al., 2003). Iron oxide mineralization along these bands appears to be induced by the presence of either a redox interface (change from reducing to oxidizing conditions in the groundwater) or a pH interface (change in acidity).
Because Neil Wells is the first (apparently) to point out that what geologists have been calling Liesegang banding really isn’t, a renaming seems to be in order. It was jokingly suggested in 2003 that the iron banding discussed above be called “Wells Banding”. I’m all for that.
The "Liesegang banding" seen above is unusual in that it is in quartzite, a hard, tight, non-porous metamorphic rock. Before metamorphism, the quartzite was sandstone. The banding was acquired before alteration to quartzite.

Aeger tipularius (Schlotheim, 1822) - fossil shrimp from the Jurassic of Germany. (CM 33123, Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA)
The crustaceans are a large group of arthropods that inhabit marine, marginal marine, freshwater, and terrestrial habitats. The crustaceans include crabs, lobsters, shrimp, crayfish, barnacles, ostracods, and other organisms. The oldest fossil crustaceans are in the Cambrian. The group experienced a significant radiation in the oceans during the Mesozoic Marine Revolution.
The fossil shrimp shown here is from the famous Solnhofen Limestone, a deposit that includes soft-part preservation. The number one most famous fossil on Earth came from Solnhofen - Archaeopteryx, which is literally half-reptile, half-bird (creationists hate that fossil). The Solnhofen is a lagoon deposit that has marine, nonmarine, and marginal marine organisms, including animals and plants.

From museum signage:
Fossils from the quarries of Solnhofen in southern Germany reveal the rich variety of life that thrived in and around Late Jurassic seas.
The ancient environmental conditions at Solnhofen resulted in the remarkable preservation of fossils representing hundreds of Late Jurassic plant, invertebrate, fish, reptile, and bird species. A series of shallow, tropical lagoons extended across southern Europe during this time. Reefs and rock outcrops sheltered these waters from the action of waves and tides. When organisms died in these quiet lagoons, they often sank to the bottom to be buried by fine-grained sediments. The water at the bottom of many Solnhofen lagoons contained little or no oxygen. These conditions not only spared many carcasses from damage or decomposition by bacteria and other scavengers, but also helped to preserved delicate soft-tissue features such as skin, scales, and feathers in exquisite detail.

As I had all the equipment arranged I thought I could take some pictures of 'other' vintage model kits in my collection.
This is an OOB build of the primitive and way overprized Hasegawa kit. It bought and built it in the early 90ies, and then it was the best you could get for a MiG-25, but today I'd say it is rather disappointing. The biggest shock is when you take a look at the engine nozzles: they are blank walls! Fortunately, it is not that obvious in the pictures (good light, heh heh...), but I'd consider the kit vintrage in many ways.
Anyway, it is part of my MiG-family collection which survived until today, so it has its place and will hardly see a replacement soon.
The only noteworthy detail is the overall color on the model: it is a mix of silver and white, which results in a bluish light grey with a slight metallic hue - I think it is perfect for Soviet IA-PVO aircraft like this one (also, check the MiG-23 with a slightly different tone).
This is as high as I think I ever got my side kicks, even when younger... I think my ITB band has something against kicking above my belt. ;) But at least I've got back to this height, and got my foot rotated properly.
