The Tuunwallen (field walls) on Texel, Netherlands, are historic low earthen embankments used to enclose fields and gardens. Dating back centuries, these walls protected crops and livestock from wind and salt spray, while also marking property boundaries. Built with materials like turf and sod, Tuunwallen played a vital role in Texel's agricultural landscape. Though some have declined due to changes in farming practices, preservation efforts aim to safeguard these structures as part of the island's cultural heritage. Visitors can explore Texel's landscape to glimpse remnants of these historical features.

After the storm has passed and the sun brakes through the clouds. Love those moments.

Beneath those rugged elms, that yew-tree's shade,

Where heaves the turf in many a mould'ring heap,

Each in his narrow cell for ever laid,

The rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep.

Let not Ambition mock their useful toil,

Their homely joys, and destiny obscure;

Nor Grandeur hear with a disdainful smile

The short and simple annals of the poor.

A room with a view...

Poppy field under dramatic sky

Beyond Blair Castle, the estate opens into a vast sweep of parkland framed by ancient tree lines and the Highland hills beyond. The landscape was shaped over centuries as part of the castle's designed setting, yet standing here, the scale of the land makes the work of people almost disappear into the landscape itself — a reminder that the places we inherit are often shaped as much by the land as by the buildings upon it.

The skies as we will become used to as the first month of Autumn passes.

Taken from the summit of Gavel Fell in the Western Lake District looking towards Red Pike and Starling Dodd. This was actually quite a pleasant Spring like day on the lower fells but with clouds rushing over the snow covered higher tops I'm sure the it was quite a different feel higher up.

Happy Tree-mendous Thursday!! :))

Γαναδιό Ganadio

on my Blog ΛΟΓΕΙΚΩΝ Logicon

Όχι απλώς παραδοσιακός οικισμός αλλά ως μνημείο αρχιτεκτονικής αναφέρεται το εικονιζόμενο Γαναδιό,ένα από τα πέτρινα χωριά του Δήμου Κονίτσης στα 870 μέτρα υψόμετρο στις πλαγιές του Σμόλικα.

Not just a traditional settlement but as an architectural monument is mentioned the depicted Ganadio, one stone villages of Konitsa's Municipality at 870 meters altitude on the slopes of Smolikas.

Μέσα στον παραδοσιακό οικισμό του Γαναδιού

υπάρχουν τέσσερα μικρά αλλά απολύτως σύμφωνα με την αρχιτεκτονική παράδοση πέτρινα τοξωτά γεφύρια, που χρονολογούνται από το 1890

Ο γέρικος Ελληνικός ποιμενικός με το πλούσιο κανελί τρίχωμα ο οποίος διακρίνεται εδώ να διέρχεται μπροστά από το τελευταίο στην σειρά γεφυράκι, μας συντρόφεψε και σε άλλες φωτογραφικές περιπλανήσεις στα διαλείμματα της επιβεβλημένης για το προχωρημένο της ηλικίας του ανάπαυσης.

Inside the traditional settlement of Ganadio

there are four small but absolutely according to the architectural tradition stone arched bridges, dating from 1890

The old Greek shepherd dog with the rich cinnamon colored coat, which can be seen here passing in front of the last bridge in a row, accompanied us on other photographic wanderings during the breaks of the rest required for its advanced age.

Happy Tree-mendous Thursday!! :))

The golden hour just before the sun sinks below the horizon makes for nice light. It also seems to bring out a final flury of Gulls over the water. Maybe looking for that last bit of food before dark. The skies were quite dramatic.

A very challenging evening. A raging high tide, throwing salt spray all over the camera, and me!! Weird clouds, an aurora of red, green, yellow and purple hues, and very windy so had to hold on to the tripod all the time for fear of the camera being blown over!!

A rural scene in Langley Township.

Continuing our trip around Shoal Bay and surrounds. This is the pretty little Little Kingsley Beach which can only be reached by a walk along the magnificent Tomaree Coastal Walk. I still can't figure out why they didn't call it Prince Beach.

I hope the weekend is going great out there!

Wasn't so good for that famous Italian chef who died. He pasta-way ;)

Thanks for the visit and comments, always appeciated.

The wonderful lighthouse in the small island of Cranae (Kranai) in Gythio, the Peloponnese, Greece.
