Cubura - Parker Sweatpants
These sweatpants are the perfect casual wear. For exercise, sport or just lounging around the house. So many wonderful color choices make these a great addition to any wardrobe. They are sized to fit Jake, Gianni, Enzo, Legacy and V. TECH.
Phil (Red-bellied woodpecker) certainly seems to be a bit of a show off these days. All of those red feathers are really starting to pop.
The addition of moss, bromeliads and staghorns to the oaks has proven to be a terrific habitat enhancement for my little visitors. Phil and Robbie (gray squirrel) are especially fond of the bromeliads and use them like little refreshment stands.
The next habitat enhancement project is adding resurrection fern to my oaks. I have been on the lookout for resurrection fern for a while now. As luck would have it, during my trip to Brooksville FL. over the weekend I met a couple that has the fern all over the oaks on their enormous property.
I asked if I could purchase some and they said no but I could have some. That certainly made my day! I was gifted a whole bin full, probably enough to establish the fern in all four of my oaks.
I hope that you have an incredible day, happy snapping.

Gallotia galloti palmae, in La Palma. In addition to Gallotia galloti, it is sometimes called "smut lizard". The blight lizard can reach 30 cm in length. Males are somewhat larger than females and have a blue patch on their faces. Black lizard (Gallotia galloti) The black lizard is a very abundant reptile in the Canary Islands, especially in agricultural areas and coastal scrubland. It prefers dry and sunny places, such as rocky areas, especially rock walls, and avoids the laurel forest area. It can live up to 3,000 m above sea level, so it can be found at almost any altitude. Forest roads are a favorable habitat for this species, since it also uses them to move around, as it allows it to stay in the sun during its walks. Being a poikilothermic animal (that is, cold-blooded), it requires clear places where it can warm up on the rock, until it reaches a body temperature that allows it to be active. Feeding Their diet is based on plants and insects; sometimes it eats the grapes cultivated by man, for which it is subject to persecution.
Gallotia galloti palmae, en La Palma.
Además del Gallotia galloti recibe a veces el nombre de "lagarto tizón"
El lagarto tizón puede alcanzar los 30 cm de longitud. Los machos son algo más grandes que las hembras y tienen una mancha azul en la cara.
Lagarto tizón (Gallotia galloti) El lagarto tizón es un reptil muy abundante en las islas canarias, especialmente en las zonas agrícolas y matorrales de las zonas costeras. Prefiere los lugares secos y soleados, como las zonas pedregosas, especialmente paredes de rocas, y evita la zona de laurisilva. Puede vivir hasta por encima de los 3.000 m, por lo que se le encuentra a casi cualquier altura. Las carreteras forestales son para esta especie un hábitat favorable, ya que las utiliza también para desplazarse, ya que le permite permanecer al sol durante sus caminatas. Al ser un animal poiquilotermo (es decir, de sangre fría), requiere sitios despejados donde pueda calentarse sobre la roca, hasta alcanzar una temperatura corporal que le permita estar activo.
Alimentación
Su alimentación se basa en plantas e insectos; en ocasiones come las uvas cultivadas por el hombre, por lo que es objeto de persecución.
Historical country house also to be opened to the public
As of 1 September, the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam will be using the historical country house, Trompenburg, as an extra location. Trompenburg, which is close to Hilversum, was built after 1677 by Admiral Cornelis Tromp (1621-1691), the son of the legendary Admiral Maarten Harpertsz Tromp. The residence, that was built to resemble a ship, will be open for use by the Rijksmuseum from 1 April to 1 October for holding lectures, small conferences and small-scale exhibitions. In addition, Trompenburg will also be opened to the public a few times each year.
A monument for the Tromp family
Throughout the years, Trompenburg House has been a home to different families, and has been in the care of the Government Buildings Agency as a monument since 1938. Cornelis Tromp, who was the commander-in-chief of the Dutch and Danish fleet, built Trompenburg as a monument for himself and his ancestors, his father in particular. The Tromp family's glory is the theme of the dome hall - which can be seen as the maritime answer to the Oranjezaal, the central chamber in Huis ten Bosch Palace. The dome hall contains the portraits of father and son Tromp and both their wives, portraits of the ships and the naval battles.
Decoration and exhibitions
Trompenburg will not be used for large exhibitions, as the country residence is too small. However, the Rijksmuseum is considering whether the house could be decorated with art works on a limited scale. Where possible, any art work that is selected will be in keeping with the themes of life on a 17th Century country estate and the maritime history of the period of 1630 and 1690.
Due to the limited capacity of Trompenburg House, the exhibitions as well as the lectures and conferences will all be small-scale. The house will be opened to the public once a month during the April-October season (six times in total). A steward will reside at Trompenburg House.

If you want to make friends with an Icelandic ..... never call an Icelandic horse a pony .... there isn't even that word in Icelandic.
Icelandic horses look extremely charming and, compared to other horses, rather childishly, in fact they are realy strong, they can survive the harshest winters, the biggest hurricanes and the craziest snowstorms without any effort. In addition, they are so incredibly friendly and gentle that it is impossible not to adore them.

La renoncule flammette (Ranunculus flammula), la petite douve ou la petite flamme, est une espèce de plante herbacée de la famille des Renonculacées qui pousse dans les milieux humides.
Ranunculus flammula, the lesser spearwort, greater creeping spearwort or banewort, is a species of perennial herbaceous plants in the genus Ranunculus (buttercup), growing in damp places throughout the Boreal Kingdom. It flowers June/July. Ranunculus flammula is poisonous. It is very closely related to R. reptans, which is distinguished by prostrate and more slender stems, narrower leaves and smaller flowers and is sometimes included within R. flammula sensu lato as a variety (R. flammula var. reptans (L.) E. Meyer).
In addition to other forms of pollination, this plant is adapted to rain-pollination.

That’s my thing. At least dancing – and maybe sometimes with open eyes. Singing in the choir is unfortunately still canceled, I have to do that for myself for a while, like dancing ... In addition to the motif with the sheep, there was another one in the magazine that I couldn't resist – as hair accessories the googly eyes are also good ;-)
///
Das ist ganz mein Ding. Zumindest Tanzen – und vielleicht manchmal mit geöffneten Augen. Singen im Chor fällt leider immer noch aus, das muss ich jetzt, auch noch eine Zeit für mich alleine tun, wie das Tanzen ... Neben dem Motiv mit den Schafen gab es noch ein weiteres in dem Magazin, dem ich nicht widerstehen konnte – als Haarschmuck machen sich die Kulleraugen doch ebenfalls gut ;-)

Nam Tso གནམ་མཚོ།
salt lake The lake lies at an elevation of 4,718 m, and has a surface area of 1,870 square kilometres. It is the highest salt lake in the world, and largest salt lake in the Tibet Autonomous Region. However, it is not the largest salt lake in the Tibetan Plateau. That title belongs to KokoNor མཚོ་སྔོན་ མཚོ་ཁྲི ་ཤོར་རྒྱལ་མོ་ (almost twice the size of Namtso). Namtso has five uninhabited islands of reasonable size, in addition to one or two rocky outcrops. The islands have been used for spiritual retreat by pilgrims who walk over the lake's frozen surface at the end of winter, carrying their food with them. They spend the summer there, unable to return to shore again until the water freezes the following winter. This practice is no longer permitted under the Communist Chinese regime in Tibet. www.footprinttravelguides.com/c/2848/tibet/&Action=pr...

Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike
Scientific Name: Coracina novaehollandiae
Description: Black-faced Cuckoo-shrikes have a black face and throat, blue-grey back, wings and tail, and white underparts. They are slender, attractive birds. They have a curious habit of shuffling their wings upon landing, a practice that gave rise to the name "Shufflewing", which is often used for this species. This shuffling is also carried out by most other species in this family. Young birds resemble the adults, except the black facial mask is reduced to an eye stripe.
Similar species: Young Black-faced Cuckoo-shrikes may be confused with the White-bellied Cuckoo-shrike, Coracina papuenis, which also has a black eye stripe. However, this species is much smaller (26 - 28 cm).
Distribution: The Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike is widespread and common. Outside the breeding season, large family groups and flocks of up to a hundred birds form.
Habitat: The Black-faced Cuckoo-shrike is found in almost any wooded habitat, with the exception of rainforests. It is also familiar in many suburbs, where birds are often seen perched on overhead wires or television aerials.
Seasonal movements: Partially nomadic; some northwards migrations.
Feeding: Black-faced Cuckoo-shrikes feed on insects and other invertebrates. These may be caught in the air, taken from foliage or caught on the ground. In addition to insects, some fruits and seeds are also eaten.
Breeding: Black-faced Cuckoo-shrikes may mate with the same partner each year, and may use the same territories year after year. The nest is remarkably small for the size of the bird. It is a shallow saucer of sticks and bark, bound together with cobwebs. Both partners construct the nest and care for the young birds.
Cuckoo-shrikes are neither cuckoos nor shrikes, but are so called because their feathers have similar patterns to those of cuckoos and their beak shape resembles that of shrikes.
Calls: The call most often heard is a soft churring, often being described as a warbling "creearck".
Minimum Size: 32cm
Maximum Size: 34cm
Average size: 33cm
Average weight: 112g
Breeding season: August to February; varies in more arid areas
Nestling Period: 21 days

The names Matt Smith (trumpet), Nolan Murphy (sousaphone) and Conrad Glutch (sax) do not sound Italian, but they were great addition to 'Taste of Little Italy'. This area is now more Brazilian and increasingly only affordable for high income families without any predominant ethnicity. Big Smoke is New Orleans style Brass band, who plays pop tunes and is highly entertaining to watch. The festival returned this year and it was wonderful to watch hundreds of young people dancing salsa (DJ) in the streets, after the scheduled performances ended.

In addition to the Hafencity, Hamburg has even more water to offer. Because there is not only the river Elbe that flows through the city but also the river Alster.
The latter was dammed into a sizeable lake around 1250 in order to use the energy from it to drive a mill.
It was not until 1616 to 1625 that the mill pond was separated into outer and inner Alster with the construction of the Hamburg ramparts.
The inland lake, on whose banks we are standing here, has an area of around 180,000 square meters and is on average 3 meters deep.
There is another photo of this place (then without trees and with a clear view). With this I will tell you something about what you can see on the other bank.
Hamburg hat neben der Hafencity noch mehr Wasser zu bieten. Denn es gibt nicht nur die Elbe, die durch die Stadt fliesst sondern auch noch die Alster.
Letzere wurde bereits um 1250 zu einem beträchtlichen See angestaut um mit der daraus gespeisten Energie eine Mühle anzutreiben.
Erst 1616 bis 1625 wurde der Mühlenteich mit der Errichtung der Hamburger Wallanlagen in Außen- und Binnenalster getrennt.
Die Binnenalter, an deren Ufer wir hier stehen hat eine Fläche von ca. 180.000 Quadratmetern und ist im Durchschnitt 3 Meter tief.
Es gibt noch ein weiteres Foto von diesem Ort (dann ohne Bäume mit freiem Blick). Mit diesem erzähle ich Euch dann noch etwas darüber, was Ihr am anderen Ufer sehen könnt.

The Temple of Kom Ombo is an unusual double temple in the town of Kom Ombo in Aswan Governorate, Upper Egypt. It was constructed during the Ptolemaic dynasty, 180–47 BC. Some additions to it were later made during the Roman period. The building is unique because its 'double' design meant that there were courts, halls, sanctuaries and rooms duplicated for two sets of gods. The southern half of the temple was dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek, god of fertility and creator of the world with Hathor and Khonsu. Meanwhile, the northern part of the temple was dedicated to the falcon god Haroeris ("Horus the Elder"), along "with Tasenetnofret (the Good Sister, a special form of Hathor or Tefnet/Tefnut) and Panebtawy (Lord of the Two Lands)." The temple is atypical because everything is perfectly symmetrical along the main axis.
The texts and reliefs in the temple refer to cultic liturgies which were similar to those from that time period. The temple itself had a specific theology. The characters invoked the gods of Kom Ombo and their legend. Two themes were present in this temple: the universalist theme and the local theme. The two combine to form the theology of this temple. A temple was already built in the New Kingdom to honor these gods, however, this site gained in importance during the Ptolemaic Kingdom. Little remains of the New Kingdom temple. The existing temple was begun by Ptolemy VI Philometor (180–145 BC) at the beginning of his reign and added to by other Ptolemies, most notably Ptolemy XIII Theos Philopator (51–47 BC), who built the inner and outer hypostyles. The scene on the inner face of the rear wall of the temple is of particular interest, and "probably represents a set of surgical instruments."
Much of the temple has been destroyed by the Nile, earthquakes, and later builders who used its stones for other projects. Some of the reliefs inside were defaced by Copts who once used the temple as a church. All the temples buildings in the southern part of the plateau were cleared of debris and restored by Jacques de Morgan in 1893.
A few of the three hundred crocodile mummies discovered in the vicinity are displayed in The Crocodile Museum.
In September 2018, the Egyptian antiquities ministry announced that a sandstone sphinx statue had been discovered at the temple. The statue, measuring approximately 28 cm in width and 38cm in height, likely dates to the Ptolemaic Dynasty.
Not much to be said here. It's a beautiful stencil of a rabbit. But if you enlarge this photo I warn you there is an unauthorised addition.
The Ark of Bukhara is a massive fortress located in the city of Bukhara, Uzbekistan that was initially built and occupied around the 5th century AD. In addition to being a military structure, the Ark encompassed what was essentially a town that, during much of the fortress' history, was inhabited by the various royal courts that held sway over the region surrounding Bukhara. The Ark was used as a fortress until it fell to Russia in 1920. Currently, the Ark is a tourist attraction and houses museums covering its history.
The Ark is a large earthen fortification located in the northwestern part of contemporary Bukhara. In layout it resembles a modified rectangle, a little elongated from the west to the east. The perimeter of the external walls is 789.6 metres (2,591 ft), the area enclosed being 3.96 hectares (9.8 acres). The height of the walls varies from 16 to 20 metres (52 to 66 ft).
The ceremonial entrance into the citadel is architecturally framed by two 18th Century towers. The upper parts of the towers are connected by a gallery, rooms, and terraces. A gradually rising ramp leads through a winch-raised portal and a covered long corridor to the mosque of Dzhuma. The covered corridor offers access to storerooms and prison cells. In the center of the Ark is located a large complex of buildings, one of the best preserved being the mosque of Ul'dukhtaron, which is connected to legends of forty girls tortured and cast into a well.
The newest addition to the High Line art on display. Brick House by Simone Leigh can be found on the 31st Street Extension over 10th Avenue. She is made of bronze and stands 16 feet. She's quite impressive.
Adelaida, AUSTRÀLIA 2023
The General Post Office is a colonial-era building situated on 141 King William Street on the north-west corner of King William Street and Victoria Square. It is the former General Post Office for South Australia. Postal services operated from the building between 6 May 1872 and 11 October 2019.
A 14-story hotel was built behind the historic structure, starting in 2021. It opened as the Adelaide Marriott Hotel in 2024.
History
General Post Office
The original building was constructed in the period 1867–1872, and was the most expensive building constructed to that time by the colonial government in South Australia. It was constructed from Glen Osmond and Glen Ewin stone, and ornamented with Bath limestone.
A competition was held in March 1866 for the design of the building, with the winning design submitted by Edmund Wright in collaboration with Edward Hamilton. They were at the time in practice with Edward John Woods, and Robert G. Thomas may have had a hand in the design.
Prince Alfred, The Duke of Edinburgh, was involved in laying the foundation stone, who also officially named the clock tower Victoria Tower on 1 November 1867. The capstone was put in place at a ceremony on 25 May 1870. The height of the tower was put at 154 feet (46.9 m), a little taller than the Albert Tower of the Town Hall on the other side of King William Street. The original plans had the tower somewhat taller, but R. G. Thomas was obliged to redesign it, as a cost-saving measure.
The building was extended in 1891-92.
There was also an office tower addition to the original post office in the 1920s.
Hotel
On 14 October 2019, Adelaide's GPO was relocated to the adjacent GPO Exchange tower at 10 Franklin Street. Plans were announced for the original building to have with a Westin hotel built atop it.
In April 2021, South Australian premier Steven Marshall attended a sod-turning ceremony, to mark the beginning of construction on the hotel. The hotel was estimated to cost A$200, with property developer Greaton handling the construction. Designed by local architects Baukultur, the tower, on the site of the 1920s addition, will retain the entire original GPO building, with some sections incorporated into the new hotel. Upgrades to the structure as well as additional seismic retrofit have been added, to ensure the structural integrity of both the old and new buildings. The topping out ceremony took place in October 2023, and included an Aboriginal smoking ceremony by traditional owner representatives Kuma Kaaru.
The 285-room, 14-story hotel opened as the Adelaide Marriott Hotel on 22 August 2024.

Barberton daisy and Gerbera jamesonii
Barberton daisy can purify air and remove formaldehyde and benzene. Barberton daisy are valued most in gardens for the striking colors of their large blooms. Often used in flower beds, cut flower gardens, and container plantings, they can make a striking addition to any kind of flower garden.
The gerbera daisy on the other hand symbolizes purity, innocence, and beauty. The most significant characteristic of this flower is its bright, radiant colors, which represent energy and rejuvenation to many. Its colors encourage youthfulness and joy that radiate into the daily lives of individuals.
This is our daughter's newest addition to the family. He is Mark Stratton (his adopted name was Stratton, yes named after the lawn mover.). Our Grandson wanted something simple, so Mark is his new name. His Sister is Annie. she is very shy and quite fast so all I have so far is a blurry tail and butt shot. I'll introduce her later.
After being shut out the night before by a stubborn storm that refused to break up over Jasper National Park, we had our fingers crossed as we headed back to Maligne Lake the following morning. We all seemed pretty happy with our blue hour shots, but as sunrise approached, it really began to look like we might not see the sun at all that day. I think we had all resigned ourselves to the fact that we were looking at another completely gray day when I glanced up an noticed the faintest wisp of pink on one of the clouds. Sure enough, the sun broke through just enough to throw some fleeting color across the the clouds that were continuing to roll in from the West. I think Tom and I are the ones in our group who really have a problem standing still during moments like this. Both of us went off in all directions at once, and both of us had two camera bodies for just such an occasion. Leaving my D800 on the tripod, I took off running with my D750 and cranked up the ISO a bit while I looked for other comps in addition to what I was getting down at the lakeside.
As I was racing back to my spot in front of the boat house, this puddle caught my eye and I spent the next few minutes trying to shoot if from several different angles with the 14-24. There have been times where I have doubted my run and gun approach, but I usually reserve it for situations where I feel like I've got a decent shot on the tripod before setting of to see what I might be missing maybe just a few steps away. If I had stayed camped out where I was I would have missed this particular shot along with quite a few others. We ALL gave in to temptation two nights before when we had a perfectly good view of the late afternoon sun up at the Opabin Prospect, but curiosity got the better of us and we full out RAN back up the trail to get more shots of the larches behind us. So I think there is something to be said for making sure you KEEP MOVING once you believe you have a decent shot...especially when you might only have another few minutes of good light.
This being said, it helps to be able to TRUST the guys who you are shooting next to. Maybe leaving the camera on the tripod while you run like a maniac in all directions should be reserved for those times when you actually know the people around you...or you might not have a camera when you get back. :)

Voulu par Roger de Hauteville, le dôme de Catane fut réalisé par l'abbé breton bénédictin Ansger1 de Sainte Euphémie2 sur les restes des anciennes Thermes Achilléennes d'époque romaine.
À cause de ces catastrophes, la cathédrale, dans les nombreuses reconstructions et réfections a amalgamé tous les styles architecturaux que se sont superposés au cours des siècles et les récentes restaurations ont montré des considérables portions de ses structures originales.
La façade d'aujourd'hui est l'œuvre la plus majestueuse du baroque de Giovanni Battista Vaccarini qui l'édifia en 1736. Le portail, en bois massif, a été commissionné par l'évêque Pietro Galletti en 1738 et sur lequel ont été sculptés, en sus des armes de princes et de souverains aragonais, les histoires de Sainte Agathe et de la même église.
Wanted by Roger de Hauteville, the dome of Catania was made by the Benedictine Breton abbot Ansger1 of Sainte Euphémie2 on the remains of the ancient Achilles thermal baths from Roman times.
Because of these catastrophes, the cathedral, in numerous reconstructions and repairs, has amalgamated all the architectural styles that have been superimposed over the centuries and recent restorations have shown considerable portions of its original structures.
Today's facade is the most majestic work of the baroque by Giovanni Battista Vaccarini who built it in 1736. The portal, in solid wood, was commissioned by Bishop Pietro Galletti in 1738 and on which were sculpted, in addition to the arms of princes and Aragonese sovereigns, the stories of Saint Agatha and the same church.

El Templo de Debod fue un regalo de Egipto a España (año 1968), en compensación por la ayuda española, tras el llamamiento internacional realizado por la Unesco para salvar los templos de Nubia, principalmente el de Abu Simbel, en peligro de desaparición debido a la construcción de la presa de Asuán.
Tiene una antigüedad de unos 2.200 años. Su núcleo más antiguo fue erigido bajo el faraón Ptolomeo IV Filópator, y decorado posteriormente por el rey nubio Adijalamani de Meroe hacia 200-180 a. C., dedicado a Amón de Debod ("Amani", en idioma kushita) e Isis. Posee importantes añadidos de época ptolemaica y romano-imperial del siglo I a. C. al II d. C.. ( Fuente: Wikipedia)

Years ago I had a driver and he took me down the Oregon Coast looking for lighthouses.. We wound up going on into California and at this location there had been a lighthouse but I found out it had been moved to another location and the only thing left was a flag...I took a picture of the rock anyway..
I was invited to use Photoshop's new beta for the next update so I decided to put a lighthouse back using their new addition to PS called Generative Fill and it created the lighthouse for me from my word prompt..
The chimney is supposed to blend in with the sky but can be seen for miles around in the beautiful countryside
the autumn sown corn is growing well now a little heat is in the air
Located between the villages of Coneythorpe, Arkendale and Marton in North Yorkshire
What is it, an eyesore
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK
Schnitger-Hinsz-orgel, in de Martinikerk
Het hoofdorgel behoort tot de bekendste en met 53 stemmen tot de grootste barokorgels ter wereld.
Het is in 1691-1692 gebouwd door Arp Schnitger, In 1728-1729 werd het orgel verder uitgebreid door Franz Caspar Schnitger, de zoon van Arp Schnitger. Omdat hij stierf werd het werk in 1730 afgemaakt door zijn meesterknecht
In de jaren zeventig werd Jürgen Ahrend uit Leer aangezocht om het orgel zoveel mogelijk terug te brengen in de staat waarin Hinsz en Struiwig het in 1740 hadden gebracht. Enkele waardevolle toevoegingen uit later tijd heeft Ahrend gehandhaafd. De restauratie duurde van 1976 tot 1984.

Schnitger-Hinsz organ,, in the Martinikerk
The main organ belongs to the best known and with 53 votes to the largest baroque organs in the world.
It was built in 1691-1692 by Arp Schnitger, In 1728-1729 the organ was further expanded by Franz Caspar Schnitger, the son of Arp Schnitger. Because he died, the work was completed in 1730 by his master servant
In the seventies, Jürgen Ahrend from Leer was asked to return the organ as much as possible to the state in which Hinsz and Struiwig had brought it in 1740. Ahrend has retained some valuable additions from later times. The restoration lasted from 1976 to 1984.
Virginia waterleaf is in full bloom out in area woodlands now. Its leaves are edible and excellent additions in a salad. The flowers are popular with pollinators.
In addition to the Yellow-rumped Warblers, we saw a lot of Cedar Waxwings eating the Cedar berries. In fact that is where part of their name comes from. From allaboutbirds.org: "The birds’ name derives from their appetite for cedar berries in winter." The bird pictured here is an immature bird as evident by the prominent streaking on the breast and faint looking black mask as compared to an adult. Anoka County, MN 10/04/20
