i'll be visiting today the places where I took my autumn shots. A little bit late for my winter shots :)
Have a Great Weekend!
The full quote from the Roman poet Virgil's Eclogues X, 69 dated to 38 BCE is 'omnia vincit amor et nos cedars amori' or 'love conquers all; let us too, yield to love!' A passionate declaration that speaks to us across the centuries and is sure to inspire the adventurous.
“Never say that you can't do something, or that something seems impossible, or that something can't be done, no matter how discouraging or harrowing it may be; human beings are limited only by what we allow ourselves to be limited by: our own minds. We are each the masters of our own reality; when we become self-aware to this: absolutely anything in the world is possible.
Master yourself, and become king of the world around you. Let no odds, chastisement, exile, doubt, fear, or ANY mental virii prevent you from accomplishing your dreams. Never be a victim of life; be it's conqueror.”
― Mike Norton

The Dymocks Building. Built in 1928.
The Palazzo architectural style.
428 George Street.
The City of Sydney.
The Dymocks Building, aka 'The Block', was conceived by architect F.H.B. Wilton in the 'Interwar Commercial Palazzo Style'. It was to house the 'less elite' or 'bazaar' style of retailing, with specialty businesses offering a wide range of more unusual goods and services. At street-level it was the home for the bookshop which has developed into the iconic modern Dymocks Bookstore, Sydney's premier bookstore. See:

A fortress at the site possibly already existed during the time of the Great Moravian Empire in the 9th century. From about 1055, Znojmo Castle served as the residence of a Přemyslid principality within the Bohemian March of Moravia and a strategic important outpost near the border with the Bavarian March of Austria in the south. Few years later (1101), Luitpold of Znojmo, Duke of Moravia, established the Ducal Rotunda of the Virgin Mary and St Catherine in this castle, later depicted by unique scene of genealogy Bohemian and Moravian Dukes of the Přemyslid dynasty and the castle was conquered and devastated by Duke Vladislaus II of Bohemia in 1145.
In 1190, Duke Conrad II of Bohemia founded the Premonstratensian Louka Abbey at Znojmo, which became the settlement area of German-speaking immigrants in the course of the medieval Ostsiedlung movement. The royal city of Znojmo was founded shortly before 1226 by King Ottokar I of Bohemia on the plains in front of the reconstructed castle. The town privileges were confirmed by King Rudolf I of Germany in 1278. On 9 December 1437 the Luxembourg emperor Sigismund died at Znojmo and lay in state for three days at the St. Nicholas Church, before his mortal remains were transferred to Nagyvárad (Oradea) in Hungary.
From the 19th Century, Znojmo is best known as the site for the Armistice of Znaim concluded there on 12 July 1809 during the Battle of Znaim, after the decisive 7 days earlier Battle of Wagram, between Emperor Napoleon and the archduke Charles.
From the 20th Century, it is also the (alleged) birthplace of Leopold Loyka, the driver of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand's car when Ferdinand was assassinated in Sarajevo during 1914, an event which triggered the First World War. After the war, it was part of Czechoslovakia, except during the Nazi German occupation between 1938 and 1945 when it was part of Reichsgau Niederdonau. The German Citizens were expelled in 1945 according to the Beneš decrees.
The birthplace of the sculptor Hugo Lederer and writer Charles Sealsfield, it also has a special co-operation relation with Harderwijk, Netherlands.

Timmy der Eroberer sitzt gerne auf dem Baldrian-Topf
Happy Caturday 27.2.2021 "Purrsonality"
This week I had to take Timmy to the vet again because he was injured in one ear and smelled bad from this ear. It was one of his regular fight injuries, which had become infected. He got an antibiotic shot and I got a bottle of iodine solution.
Amazingly, he let me rub his ear with an iodine cloth two or three times a day. He probably knows that I am helping him. However, he loves it already longer, if I rub with my nose in his ear :-)))
I also found white fur under his claws - so his fight with Sammy was probably a draw ;-) I hope the two of them will stay out of each other's way for a while.
The two rascals often fight at the border of their territories - the creek. Three times in the distance of about six weeks they both landed in the brook. I then always need 4-5 towels to get him halfway dry. Then he gets grounded until he is completely dry and also to cool down.
Life as a daddy of a conqueror is not boring and not cheep! This time: 111.14€ :-)
Diese Woche musste ich mit Timmy mal wieder zum Tierarzt, weil er an einem Ohr verletzt war und aus diesem Ohr schlecht roch. Es war eine seiner regelmäßigen Kampf-Verletzungen, die sich entzündet hatte. Er bekam eine Antibiotikum-Spritze und ich ein Fläschen Jod-Lösung.
Erstaunlich: er läßt mich sein Ohr mit einem Jod-Läppchen abreiben. Er weiß wohl, dass ich ihm helfe. Allerdings liebt er es ja schon länger, wenn ich mit meiner Nase in seinem Ohr reibe :-)))
Ich fand unter seinen Krallen auch weißes Fell - sein Kampf mit Sammy war also wohl ein Unentschieden ;-) Ich hoffe, die beiden gehen sich jetzt mal eine zeitlang aus dem Weg.
Die beiden Schlawiner kämpfen ja oft an der Grenze - dem Bach. Dreimal im Abstand von etwa sechs Wochen sind sie dabei beide im Bach gelandet. Ich brauche dann immer 4-5 Handtücher um ihn halbwegs trocken zu bekommen. Dann bekommt er Hausarrest, bis er ganz trocken ist und auch um sich abzuregen.
Das Leben als Daddy eines Eroberes ist nicht langweilig und nicht billig! Diesmal waren es 111,14€, allerdings mit einer Wurmkur :-)
Captivating, entertaining, catchy songs brilliantly delivered with Ruarri Joseph’s languid style, superbly backed by Naomi Holmes on bass and Harry Harding on drums.
Performed at Café Thirty8, Marlborough, organised by Sound Knowledge record shop.

"If you think nothing is yours... And If I think everything belongs to me... How wrong I'll be... NONE OF US HAVE ANYTHING... There's a place I have never explored... Another world we have yet to conquer... And until then none of us have anything..."
We made it to the top of the seventh tier of waterfalls at Erawan. In truth though the most impressive thing about this tier was the sign!
In a wicked display of smoke and sound, MRL #4400 emerges out of the west portal of Bozeman Tunnel after successfully scaling the pass. The current tunnel was completed by the Northern Pacific in 1945, replacing the original 1884 bore.
