La Sophienstrasse présente effectivement un magnifique terre-plein bordé de deux rangées de marronniers à Baden-Baden, Land de Bade-Wurtemberg, en Allemagne.
Une vue vers le sud-ouest à partir de l'intersection entre les rues Sophienstrasse et Vincentistraße.
Entre le vignoble badois et la dense Forêt-Noire au sud, Baden-Baden, malgré son atmosphère un peu compassée, est l'une des plus élégantes stations thermales d'Allemagne. La ville qui a pour origine une colonie romaine "Civitas Aurelia Aquentis", appelée simplement Aquae, créée vers l'an 80 sur le site d'une ancienne implantation celte, aurait été fréquentée par l'empereur Caracalla (188-217) pour soigner ses rhumatismes.
Au 19e siècle, elle sera surnommée la "capitale d'été de l'Europe" quand les têtes couronnées, du Portugal à la Russie en passant par l'Angleterre (reine Victoria), ainsi que les célébrités, telles Mark Twain, viennent s'y retrouver pour soigner leur santé et fréquenter le casino. La ville devient ainsi le lieu de grandes rencontres au sommet, la plus célèbre fut celle des "trois empereurs" en 1863: François-Joseph d'Autriche, Alexandre II de Russie et pour la France, Napoléon III.
Tout l'univers élégant qui gravitait à Baden-Baden disparut en même temps que la Belle Époque dans le fracas de la Première Guerre mondiale mais la ville comme une relique opulente, continue de témoigner de ce que fut la poursuite du plaisir par l'élite d'une Europe qui n'est plus. Les nouveaux thermes de Caracalla comptent d'ailleurs parmi les hauts lieux de la ville de même que son casino et son théâtre inauguré en 1862.

The wonderful lines of horse chestnut trees inevitably are going to be stripped of there conkers and leaves by the Autumn winds and scattered along the lane
The sun —setting behind bare trees— seems to ignite the autumnal, cloud-laden skies. The heavens convey the impression of being on fire, extinguishable by neither the nearby flowing Peneus river nor the stormy, rainy weather ahead.
The glorious sunset occurs in the western part of the sky over Meteora, Greece. It is strongly reminiscent of the bible’s burning bush, as well as of the poem line:
“The heavens were all on fire, the earth did tremble”
—William Shakespeare (Henry Ⅳ)
"The wonder is that we can see these trees and not wonder more."
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Happy Sunday y'all :)
Walking home today after a mix weather day of rain showers, clouds and sudden bursts of lovely sunlight.
Luckily it was dry on the walk home from work, and the evening light was lovely, so I walked through the old bone orchard to take some snaps of the old chestnut tree.
Most of the trees are still rich with summer greenery, but you can see brown and gold leaf colouring sneaking in as autumn slowly arrives, and in the case of this chestnut tree, autumn is pretty far advancedeven by the second day of September.
These chestnuts are still young, note the brown stem attached to each. In the late fall, they will have grown to a much larger size where they will literally "pop" open and fall to the ground. The outer prickly case protects the fragile chestnut, which may be roasted or steamed.
The leaves on this chestnut is curled due to the drought we are experiencing in our area.
"The Narrenturm (Fool's Tower) in Vienna is continental Europe's oldest building for the accommodation of psychiatric patients. Built in 1784, it is next to the site of the old Vienna General Hospital [which is meanwhile the campus of the University of Vienna], and is now home to the Federal Pathologic-Anatomical Museum Vienna (Pathologisch-anatomisches Bundesmuseum Wien)." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narrenturm_(asylum)
The chestnut tree in the picture will soon be in bloom. Nature is extremely early this year.
This tranquil image captures a serene forest river bordered by lush greenery in full spring bloom. The still water reflects the trees and sky like a mirror, creating a harmonious blend of light, color, and calm—inviting viewers into nature's peaceful embrace.
Snowfall over night created an absolutely amazing winter landscape. I was so lucky to see the spectacular crepuscular rays ‘Angel Rays’ as the dark moody sky passed over Leather Tor.
Panorámica compuesta con cuatro tomas. La deformación (reducción del tamaño original) de las tomas superiores es evidente por la cercania de las mismas.
Las dimensiones de este colosal castaño son espectaculares, pero su edad es algo increible y maravilloso. Un ser vivo con más de mil años, y según algunos archivos tendría cerca de los 1800 años de edad,
Sus medidas aproximadas son; 12 metros de perimetro, unos 15 metros de altura, con un peso de varias decenas de toneladas.
Situado en el pueblo Zamorano de San Román de Sanabria y dentro de un patio privado,, sus vecinos has sabido preservar este castaño a lo largo de los siglos.

The dimensions of this colossal chestnut-tree are spectacular, but his age is something incredible and wonderful. An alive being with more than thousand years, and according to some files it would have near 1800 years of age,
His approximate measures are; 12 meters of perimeter, approximately 15 meters of height, with a weight of several dozens of tons.
Placed in the people Zamorano de San Roman of Sanabria and inside a private court, his neighbors have could preserve this chestnut-tree throughout the centuries.

An older shot.
Not many trees on the west coast turn great colours. With chestnut trees, they only turn this bright yellow during a fall with ideal weather...not something we are getting this year.

Most of the trees are still rich with summer greenery, but you can see brown and gold leaf colouring sneaking in as autumn slowly arrives, and in the case of this chestnut tree, autumn is pretty far advancedeven by the second day of September.
"The fruit is contained in a spiny (very sharp) cupule 5–11 cm in diameter, also called "bur" or "burr".[24] The burrs are often paired or clustered on the branch[19] and contain one to seven nuts according to the different species, varieties, and cultivars.[1][2][25][26] Around the time the fruits reach maturity, the burrs turn yellow-brown and split open in two or four sections. They can remain on the tree longer than they hold the fruit, but more often achieve complete opening and release the fruits only after having fallen on the ground; opening is partly due to soil humidity." (Wikipedia)
Most mornings when we're at home in Northamptonshire I take our little Yorkie for a walk on the beautiful village green at Orlingbury. The lovely chestnut trees are now in flower and looking at their best, so I thought I'd try out the camera on my new bottom-of-the-range Nokia. There's certainly a vast difference between what you can do with a 60 quid camera-phone and a thousand pound "proper" camera, but I thought it was still worth processing this and putting it on Flickr. At least I'm learning what it can't do!
O trilho pedestre PR1 VRM – Costa dos Castanheiros, na Serra da Cabreira, Vieira do Minho, oferece uma imersão numa paisagem florestal mista, onde folhosas e coníferas coexistem num ecossistema de transição biogeográfica. No outono, o chão cobre-se de um tapete de folhas acobreadas, provenientes sobretudo dos castanheiros que dão nome ao percurso e que, historicamente, foram essenciais à economia rural minhota. O musgo e os líquenes que revestem os troncos são indicadores da elevada humidade e da qualidade do ar da região. A serra, com altitudes até 1262 metros, integra a rede de áreas protegidas do Norte de Portugal e alberga uma diversidade de flora e fauna, incluindo corços, javalis e, até, o lobo-ibérico. Este percurso circular de 6,25 km permite observar a dinâmica deste sistema natural e a importância dos castanheiros para a paisagem e comunidades locais.
The PR1 VRM – Costa dos Castanheiros pedestrian trail, in Serra da Cabreira, Vieira do Minho, offers an immersion in a mixed forest landscape, where hardwoods and conifers coexist in a biogeographic transition ecosystem. In autumn, the ground is covered with a carpet of copper-colored leaves, mainly from the chestnut trees that give the route its name and which, historically, were essential to the rural economy of Minho. The moss and lichens that cover the trunks are indicators of the region's high humidity and air quality. The mountain range, with altitudes up to 1262 meters, is part of the network of protected areas in Northern Portugal and is home to a diversity of flora and fauna, including roe deer, wild boar and even the Iberian wolf. This 6.25 km circular route allows you to observe the dynamics of this natural system and the importance of chestnut trees for the landscape and local communities.
