Cette pharmacie est située au Kyrkogatan 5, juste sur le coin, à deux pas de la Domkyrkan à Lund, en Suède.
Cette vénérable pharmacie aurait été fondée en 1647. Le bâtiment est toutefois un peu plus récent puisqu'il fut construit en 1862. L'intérieur date du tournant du 20e siècle et dégage une ambiance délicieusement surannée avec ses rayonnages en bois et ces pots anciens de céramique. Sur la façade, remarquez le cygne (svanen) doré en guise d'enseigne.
Blottie autour de son impressionnante cathédrale, Lund l'érudite, est un mélange de parcs verdoyants, de demeures médiévales et de cafés estudiantins. Très animée durant l'année scolaire, de par sa forte population d'étudiants universitaires, la ville le reste aussi l'été grâce aux visiteurs attirés par le charme de ses rues pavées et son grand choix de musées.
Fondée par les Danois aux environs de l'an 1000, Lund est la 2e ville la plus ancienne de Suède après Sigtuna. Elle acquit de l'importance lorsque Knut II de Danemark y fit frapper de la monnaie au début du 11e siècle. Chrétienne dès son origine, la ville devint un important centre religieux et le siège de l'archidiocèse scandinave en 1104, un statut qu'elle conserva jusqu'à la Réforme au 16e siècle qui entraîna la fermeture des églises, monastères et de l’université. Il fallut attendre le rattachement de la région à la Suède en 1658 pour qu'une université y soit à nouveau installée.
Almost ready for it's final activation, this BAT sits in the preparation chamber under the watchful eye of Hotwire.
The Archaeological Sites of Bat, Al-Khutm and Al-Ayn are a group of beehive tombs or necropolis from the Hafit period in the 3rd Millennium BC. They were declared World Heritage by UNESCO. The partially destructed beehive tombs are what you can see as accumulation of stones in the center and on the top of the hill.

Photos Carol took of bats outside of Tucson in 2018 - Bats are one of the most iconic figures of Halloween. Feared for their thirst for blood and tendency to surprise unsuspecting hikers who disturb their slumber, bats give people the heebie jeebies. But that is not fair.
Arizona is home to 28 species of bats, more than almost any other state. Bats are the only true flying mammals and are valuable human allies. Worldwide, they are primary predators of vast numbers of insect pests, saving farmers and foresters billions of dollars annually and helping to control insect-spread human diseases. For example, large colonies of Mexican free-tailed bats eat hundreds of tons of moths each week, especially the moths that prey on cotton crops. Bats can eat up to 1,200 mosquitoes in an hour.
Although bats play key roles in keeping insect populations in balance, they are North America’s most rapidly declining land mammals. Declines are often caused by human fear and persecution, and each of us can help by learning how to live with these animals.
The Pallid bat has yellowish brown to cream colored fur on its back and white fur on its belly. What is most noticeable about this bat are its large ears. The ears are almost half as long as the total length of its head and body. Because they have such large ears they are able to detect the sound of their prey's footsteps on the ground. Also, its eyes are larger than most species of North American bats. Pallid bats are social creatures and live in groups. Their groups are called colonies. And the size of these colonies can range anywhere from 12-100 individuals. Most of these colonies have more than 20 bats. The largest recorded colony had 162 individuals.
Pallid bats weigh 0.7-1.2 oz. (20-35g). A pallid bat can eat half of its body weight in one night. Imagine people doing that! The pallid bat may live as many as 10 years in the wild.
Pallid bats are also more effective pollinators than some of the nectarivorous bats with whom they compete for cacti. By eating fruit and nectar from plants, bats carry seeds and pollen to new places. Not so scary anymore, huh? Well, there is one thing about bats that's pretty scary…it's that they are disappearing.
Bats aren't really blind—in fact, the larger species of bats can see better than humans—but in order to "see" in absolute darkness, they use echolocation, which means they emit high-pitched sounds (inaudible to the human ear) and listen as the sound waves bounce off nearby surfaces. In fact, with echolocation bats can see everything but color and detect obstacles as fine as a human hair. Pretty cool! So the next time someone calls you "blind as a bat," you can go ahead and take it as a compliment.
Pallid bats are a unique bat species because they are heterothermic, meaning they can be either poikilothermic or homoeothermic depending on the time of year.
From this angle the peaks of The Cobbler (Ben Arthur), top left of picture, look to my mind as resembling the 'bat signal' from Batman, or am I mad (rhetorical question). Taken from the top of Ben A'an in The Trossachs, Scotland.

As a birder, I have a poor record when it comes to falcons, so when I spotted one at the bus stop in Mexico, I reached for my binoculars instead of my camera. The brief observation secured the ID, but I was left without any pictures. This drawing was done based on a reference photo by an anonymous birder.
[Update: I had to fix a minor issue with this shelf and when I re uploaded the model I somehow made it 3 land impact now. so its now 3li and not 5li.]
And now we move to the entertainment portion of our tea party! Alice will read an original poem that the wrote in honor of her bat friend, Battina:
“Twinkle twinkle little bat!
How I wonder what you’re at!
Up above the world you fly,
Like a tea tray in the sky.
Twinkle twinkle little bat!
How I wonder what you’re at.”
(APPLAUSE)

Long-tongued bat (Glossophaga soricina) feeding from nectar of a flowering tree at the Braulio Carrillo National Park in Costa Rica.
Bats play an important role in many environments around the world. Some plants depend partly or wholly on bats to pollinate their flowers or spread their seeds, while other bats also help control pests by eating insects.
You can also see why their are called Long-tongued bats here.
Bat stars.
Colourful bat stars (Patiria miniata) at low tide sit on a barnacle-covered rock, Burnaby Narrows, Gwaii Haanas, Haida Gwaii, BC. This was the most dense collection of bat stars that I saw at Burnaby Narrows, a location famous for its large numbers of bat stars before star fish wasting disease substantially reduced their numbers.

Bizarrely, this bat was fluttering around during the middle of the day, out in the open near a woodland edge. It didn't seem obviously sick. It was amazingly hard to find once it settled on this tree, even though we saw it land, and when perched it was much smaller than I expected (despite the name). The species adult body length is given as 110–130 mm (4.3–5.1 in).
The prompt asked for 'Bat', singular. Being a generous kind of person I thought I'd draw two different bats, one of the flying variety and one of the baseball persuasion.
