[ENG] The Chestnut forest of El Tiemblo (Ávila, Spain) it is a small forest of municipal property placed to approximately 1.100 m. of altitude in the header of the Reservation of Iruelas's Valley, to approximately 100 km from Madrid. It is the most extensive chestnut forest of the Central System, and on the autumnal station -the most showy and colouring- its paths are crossed by numerous visitors. Along the route we will be able to observe different species of trees and shrubs that they accompany on the chestnut-tree or form a part of the undergrowth of the chestnut forest (white hawthorn, hazel, elm of mountain, cherry, willows, holly, alder-tree, birch, heathers, ferns...). A section of the path passes parallel to the creek of the throat of the Yedra (Ivy), with it waters down all the year round and with a row of alder-trees that forming a small forest of gallery they wind close to the creek. With luck we can contemplate some species of birds of forest character (mocking-bird, blue climber, blackbird, thrush...).
[ESP] El Castañar de El Tiemblo (Ávila) es un pequeño bosque de propiedad municipal situado a unos 1.100 m. de altitud en las laderas de la Reserva del Valle de Iruelas, en la cabecera de la garganta de la Yedra, a unos 100 km. de Madrid. Es el castañar más extenso del Sistema Central, y en la estación otoñal –la más llamativa y colorida- sus senderos son recorridos por numerosos visitantes. A lo largo de la ruta podremos observar diferentes especies de árboles y arbustos que acompañan al castaño o forman parte del sotobosque del castañar (majuelo, avellano, olmo de montaña, cerezo silvestre, sauces, acebo, arraclán, abedul, brezos, helechos, ...). Un tramo del sendero discurre paralelo al arroyo de la garganta de la Yedra, con agua todo el año y con una hilera de alisos que formando un pequeño bosque de galería serpentean junto al arroyo. Con suerte podemos contemplar algunas especies de aves de carácter forestal (arrendajo, trepador azul, mirlo, zorzal...).

Beautiful red-blossomed trees in Stanley Park
The Red horse-chestnut is an artificial hybrid between A. pavia (red buckeye) and A. hippocastanum (horse-chestnut), inheriting the red flower color from A. pavia.. The origin of the tree is not known, but it probably first appeared in Germany before 1820.
Cultivated for its spectacular spring flowers and successful in a wide range of temperate climatic conditions provided summers are not too hot.
I use the chestnuts (seeds) for my Stanley Park Christmas wreaths (see photos in comments, below)
The flower is the symbol of the city of Kiev, capital of Ukraine
In Germany, horse-chestnuts are often found in beer gardens, particularly in Bavaria. Prior to the advent of mechanical refrigeration, brewers would dig cellars for lagering. To further protect the cellars from the summer heat, they would plant chestnut trees, which have spreading, dense canopies but shallow roots which would not intrude on the caverns. The practice of serving beer at these sites evolved into the modern beer garden.
Raw Horse Chestnut seed, leaf, bark and flower are toxic due to the presence of esculin and should not be ingested. Horse chestnut seed is classified by the FDA as an unsafe herb. The glycoside and saponin constituents are considered toxic
which I have often seen on my way to work and looked at for the first time and found that they are really beautiful.

"trame di pensieri che il vento sconfina, nel lento respiro del tempo che culla...
ferma l'istante ad ascoltare il cuore, in molle assunzione di colori...
di pura essenza d'immenso sentire" di Maria Luisa Carradori
Always loved this wee house at the gates of the old bone orchard on Dalry Road, this time of year the large chestnut tree that leans out over the cemetery wall is turning into beautiful autumn shades and the chestnuts are splitting out of their green, spiky casing and dropping down.

Efecto de los rayos del sol entre las ramas y el humo de la quema de los erizos (las cáscaras espinosas de las castañas).
Effect of the rays of the sun among the branches and the smoke of the burning of the "hedgehogs" (the thorny husks of the chestnuts).
It's conker season!!! For those unfamiliar with this term, conkers is an old, old game for kids, taking fallen autumn chestnuts, piercing a hole through the centre and threading a string or shoelace through it. The "conker"is then swung on its string at the opponent's conker with the winner being the one with the conker that survives relatively intact.
For generations this was a game played in school playground by kids, especially young boys, and often, impatient for good ones to drop from the chestnut trees, you'd see groups of boys hurling branches and stones at the boughts, trying to dislodge some ripe chestnuts in their prickly casings so they'd drop.
It's a game little played now and I doubt most schoolkids today have heard of it - this tree hangs over the wall in Dalry Cemetery, two minutes from a school, but I've never seen any of the kids picking up the conkers on their school walk. I supposed if we'd had the distractions and games they have now when we were that age, we'd probably never have bothered with them either! Still, every autumn I walk by this magnificent chestnut tree and admire the conkers falling from it, and remember playing with friends, long ago, when we were kids and something as simple as a chestnut on a string and a groups of pals was all you needed to be happy.
