To restore the important role of fire, Parks Canada now uses prescribed fire, which was first used in Banff National Park in 1983.
I took this pictures in the Sawback area on the Bow Valley Parkway, where the prescribed burn was used in 1993.
Irlanda - Kilkenny - Castillo
ENGLISH:
Kilkenny Castle was built in 1195 to control a fording-point of the River Nore and the junction of several routeways. It was a symbol of Norman occupation and in its original thirteenth-century condition it would have formed an important element of the defences of the town with four large circular corner towers and a massive ditch, part of which can still be seen today on the Parade.
It has been an important site since Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, commonly known as Strongbow constructed the first castle, probably a wooden structure, in the 12th century. The Anglo-Normans had established a castle in 1173, possibly on the site of an earlier residence of the Mac Giolla Phádraig kings of Osraighe. Kilkenny formed part of the lordship of Leinster, which was granted to Strongbow. Strongbow’s daughter and heiress, Isabel married William Marshall in 1189. The Earl Marshall owned large estates in Ireland, England, Wales and France and managed them effectively. He appointed Geoffrey fitz Robert as seneschal of Leinster and so began a major phase of development in Kilkenny, including the construction of Kilkenny Castle and the agreement of rents and privileges with burgesses or citizens of the borough. The first stone castle on the site, was completed in 1213. This was a square-shaped castle with towers at each corner; three of these original four towers survive to this day
The property was transferred to the people of Kilkenny in 1967 and the castle and grounds are now managed by the Office of Public Works. The gardens and parkland adjoining the castle are open to the public. The Parade Tower is a conference venue. Awards and conferring ceremonies of the graduates of "Kilkenny Campus" of National University of Ireland, Maynooth have been held there since 2002.

ESPAÑOL:
El Castillo de Kilkenny está situado en la localidad homónima del Condado irlandés de Kilkenny. Esta fue la residencia de la familia Butler, antes llamada FitzWalter. Pasó a manos del Estado y fue abierto al público.
Parte de la GalerÃa de Arte Nacional se encuentra en el lugar. En el lado que da hacia la ciudad hay jardines ornantales. Este castillo es uno de los lugares más visitados por los turistas en Irlanda.
La fundación del castillo se remonta hacia el año 1190 perteneciendo a la familia Butler desde el siglo XIV hasta 1920, fecha en que Martin Breyer lo adquirió. Las principales estancias son la biblioteca, el comedor, la habitación china y la Longa Gallery.
El castillo actual está localizado sobre un terreno elevado en la ribera del RÃo Nore. Esta situación estratégica fue en dónde estaba situado el castillo de los monarcas locales, la familia O'Carroll (840), O´Dunphys y Fitzpatricks, antes de la invasión normanda de Irlanda.
Richard de Clare, segundo conde de Pembroke (conocido como Strongbow) construyó la primera torre normanda en este lugar en 1172. Veinte años más tarde su yerno, William Marshal conde de Pembroke, puso la primera piedra del castillo en el mismo lugar en que estaban situadas las torres, de las cuales se conservan tres en la actualidad.
La familia Butler llegó a Irlanda con la invasión normanda, cambiando su nombre por el de Walter en 185. El castillo pasó a manos de Sir Gilbert de Bohun quien heredó el castillo y el condado de manos de su madre en 1270. En el año 1300 fue expulsado por Eduardo I de Inglaterra pero se reinstaló en 1303, conservándolo hasta su muerte en 1381.

Mindlessly broken or to stop unwanted flooding? A shame they weren't just jammed if it was to stop unwanted flooding and such a waste if it was just vandalism. River Don opposite Seaton park.
The streets of Old Peshawar are just packed with pedestrians, carts, cars, rickshaws .. you name it. A sea of faces. It looks like chaos but there's a method to the madness - as if there's an unwritten rule book that everyone abides by that keeps things moving.
I told the boys they could only have one Cookie each for dessert.
Leave it a Golden to pull out the scales and the large Cookies, and start weighing each one to find the biggest.
