ESP - Meloncillo (Herpestes ichneumon).
Es un mamífero de hábitos tanto nocturnos como diurnos, bastante atrevido, pues se enfrenta a otros animales como el jabalí o las víboras.
Es el protagonista de muchas de las historietas basadas en el mito de la existencia de una culebra grande y peluda, ya que cuando una hembra de meloncillo se desplaza con sus crías estas se colocan en fila una detrás de otra bajo la cola de la anterior, lo cual les da la apariencia de una serpiente con pelo reptando. 😄.
ENG - Egyptian mongoose (Herpestes ichneumon).
It is a mammal of both nocturnal and diurnal habits, is the protagonist of many of the stories based on the myth of the existence of a large and hairy snake, since when a female of mongoose moves with her cubs they are placed in a row one behind the other under the tail of the previous one, which gives them the appearance of a hairy snake crawling.
(Sorry, I do my best with my English, 🙏😅).

ENG: Fort Hahneberg, located on the western edge of Berlin (Spandau-Staaken), is considered one of the last Prussian-style fortifications in Germany. It was completed in 1888 after six years of construction and since the late 1990s can now be visited again partially restored. The visit is only possible with a guided tour, as the site is maintained and restored by an association. The price for the historical guided tour is relatively low per adult, however, for 7.50€ you get a lot offered in the approximately 90 minutes.
After its completion, the facility served until 1945, among other things, as barracks and central archive for military medicine, so it was mainly used for military purposes. During the Buchrucker Putsch on October 1, 1923, the fort, together with the Spandau Citadel, was briefly occupied by putschists who had to surrender to regular Reichswehr units. After the end of World War II, parts of the walls and structures built of bricks were broken out and taken away as building material for the reconstruction of Berlin. Until the fall of the Wall in 1989, the fort was located unused in the area of the barrier installations in the former East Berlin of the border crossing point Heerstrasse and has only been accessible to the public again since 1990 and was handed over to the association Arbeits- und Schutzgemeinschaft Fort Hahneberg e. V. in 1993.
•
GER: Das Fort Hahneberg, am westlichen Rand Berlins (Spandau-Staaken) gelegen, gilt als einer der letzten Festungsbauten nach preußischer Manier in Deutschland. Es wurde im Jahr 1888 nach sechsjähriger Bauzeit fertiggestellt und kann seit den späten 1990er Jahren nun auch wieder teilweise restauriert besichtigt werden. Die Besichtigung ist nur mit einer Führung möglich, da das Gelände von einem Verein gepflegt und restauriert wird. Der Preis für die historische Führung ist aber relativ niedrig pro Erwachsenen, für 7,50€ bekommt man in den rund 90 Minuten viel geboten.
Nach seiner Fertigstellung diente die Anlage bis 1945 unter anderem als Kaserne und Zentralarchiv für Wehrmedizin, wurde also vorwiegend militärisch genutzt. Während des Buchrucker-Putsches am 1. Oktober 1923 ist das Fort zusammen mit der Spandauer Zitadelle für kurze Zeit von Putschisten besetzt worden, die sich regulären Reichswehreinheiten ergeben mussten. Nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurden Teile der aus Ziegelsteinen errichteten Mauern und Bauwerke als Baumaterial für den Wiederaufbau Berlins herausgebrochen und abtransportiert. Bis zum Mauerfall im Jahr 1989 befand sich das Fort unbenutzt im Bereich der Sperranlagen im ehemaligen Ost-Berlin der Grenzübergangsstelle Heerstraße und ist erst seit 1990 der Öffentlichkeit wieder zugänglich und wurde 1993 an den Verein Arbeits- und Schutzgemeinschaft Fort Hahneberg e. V. übergeben.
[ENG] Santa María de Naranco is one of the most enigmatic and harmonious monuments of Western architecture. It is an old palace that was the Aula Regia of the palace complex that King Ramiro I (842-850) ordered to be built on the outskirts of the capital of the kingdom of Asturias. It was completed in the year 842. Its artistic style is the so-called Asturian or "ramirense" art, within the pre-Romanesque period. It functioned as a temple from the collapse of the chevet and part of the naves of San Miguel de Lillo (12th century) until its restoration in the years 1929-1934. It is located on the southern slope of Mount Naranco, about 4 km from Oviedo (Asturias, Spain). It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985.

[ENG] The Generalife is a rural village inhabited by the Nasrid kings of Granada for their rest, surrounded by gardens and orchards. It is located in Granada (Spain), near the Alhambra. Construction began in the 13th century in the Arab-Nasrid style commissioned by Muhammed II, and has undergone reforms and additions promoted by his successors. The garden is organized in terraces to adapt to the land, and they have been cultivated without interruption to this day. The current gardens were designed in the 19th century and retain nothing of the medieval approach. It is declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Other pictures in Generalife, Granada (Spain) album.

Deutschland / Baden-Württemberg - Mainau
Mainau [ˈmaɪnaʊ] also referred to as Mav(e)no(w), Maienowe (in 1242), Maienow (in 1357), Maienau, Mainowe (in 1394) and Mainaw (in 1580) is an island in Lake Constance (on the Southern shore of the Überlinger See near the city of Konstanz, Baden-Württemberg, Germany). It is maintained as a garden island and a model of excellent environmental practices. Administratively, the island has been a part of Konstanz since December 1, 1971, when the municipality of Litzelstetten, of which Mainau was part, was incorporated into Konstanz. Mainau is still part of Litzelstetten, now one of 15 wards (administrative subdivisions) of Konstanz.
The island belongs to the Lennart Bernadotte-Stiftung (eng. The Lennart Bernadotte Foundation), an entity created by Prince Lennart Bernadotte, Count of Wisborg, originally a Prince of Sweden and Duke of Småland. It is one of the main tourist attractions of Lake Constance. Beside flowers there is a park landscape with views on the lake. There is a greenhouse as well with tropical climate and thousands of butterflies.
Mainau Bay is the location of their university's sailing club.
Geography
Position
The island averages out at a height between 395 metres (1,296 ft) (roughly equals the lake’s average medium water-level) and 425 meters (1,394 ft) above sea level. Its highest peak is located at the Großherzog-Friedrich Terrace (historic water reservoir). Mainau Island is 610 metres (2,000 ft) long from North to South and a 1,050 meters (3,440 ft) wide from West to East. The island’s circumference is about three kilometers (1.9 mi). The shortest distance between the downwelling molasse slice and the lake’s shore is about 130 meters (430 ft).
Population
Few people inhabit Mainau Island. Due to its small amount of inhabitants, it is considered a hamlet. Meyer’s Lexikon’s issue of 1888 declared that 28 people lived on Mainau Island. During the census of 1961, a population of 123 was verified. Count Björn Bernadotte is living in the castle on Mainau Island.
Parks and gardens
Mainau Island is a "flowering island" notable for its parks and gardens. Frederick I, Grand Duke of Baden, created the island's arboretum, which now contains 500 species of deciduous and coniferous trees, many exotic and valuable, including fine specimens of Sequoiadendron giganteum (1864) and Metasequoia glyptostroboides (1952). The island also contains about 200 rhododendron and azalea varieties.
Due to the advantageous climate at the lake, palm trees and other Mediterranean plants can grow on the drop-shaped island. Because of its rich subtropical and partly even tropical vegetation, Mainau Island is also called "flowering island in the Lake Constance". Count Lennart Bernadotte, who died in 2004, liked to call his island "Blumenschiff" (engl. flower ship). He also described the famous destination as follows: "She is a coquettish little Lady, Mainau Island, who constantly demands much attention, even more love and ceaselessly new clothes." - Lennart Bernadotte. By "new clothes", he probably meant the blossoms, plants and flower-beds which are constantly renewed by the gardeners.
Apart from the historic buildings, the centerpiece of Mainau Island is the Arboretum with its 500 different types of rare and valuable broad-leaved trees and conifers, which was created in 1856 by grand duke Friedrich I. Among those is one of Germany's "oldest" dawn redwood trees (Metasequoia glyptostroboides). The tree, which originated from China, was planted on the island in 1952, when it was just 70 centimeters (28 in) tall. Particularly mighty are some exemplars of the giant redwood (Sequoiadendron giganteum). Their seeds came from California in 1853 and were planted on the island in 1864, which makes them one of the oldest of their kind in Europe. You can find the above-mentioned giant redwoods as well as Cedars, Dawn Redwoods and Tulip Poplars on the island. The Arboretum expands towards the north-west of the island.
Spring marks the beginning of the "Blumenjahr" (eng. Flower Year) with an exhibition of orchids. From March to May you can see several types of flowers in full bloom, like Tulips, Daffodils, Primroses, Forget-Me-Nots and Hyacinths. To show the full beauty of all these flowers the so-called „Frühlingsallee“ (eng. Spring Alley) was opened, which is a path across the island surrounded by beds of these plants. From May to June over 200 kinds of Rhododendrons and Azaleas are in full bloom. To the west of the "Comturey-Keller" you can find an Italian rose garden commissioned by Friedrich I. This rose garden is strictly geometric and consists of pergolas, sculptures and fountains. In general, over 1200 kinds of roses can be found on the island.
„Frühlingsallee“ leads to „Mediterran-Terrassen“ (eng. Mediterranean Terrace) where exotic plants such as palm families, agaves, cacti and bougainvillea are presented in pails during summer. Lake Constance and its surroundings as well as the Alps can be seen in a panoramic view from here. In July the blossoms of brugmansia and hibiscus are blooming on Mainau Island and in August the blossoms of passion flowers bloom.
On the southern end you can find “Südgarten” (eng. South Garden) where in autumn fields of dahlia with approximately 20,000 dahlia bushes and 250 varieties gleam from September until October. Spring and summer flowers such as different kinds of fuchsia are growing on the affiliated shore garden to the eastern side of “Südgarten”.
The “Bodenseerelief” (eng. Relief of Lake Constance) is a very popular photo motive. It is a relief with the picture of a flower which is changed by season. A small harbor with a landing place is situated to the northern side of Mainau Island. Excursion boats lay in here and another entrance to “Frühlingsallee” can be found here.
History
Until the Napoleonic mediatisations and secularisations of small German fiefs this island belonged to the Order of Teutonic Knights. It was later sold into private ownership. In 1853 Grand Duke Frederick I of Baden purchased the island as his personal property and used the palace built by the Teutonic Knights as summer palace. At the end of World War I Baden became a republic with the abdication of Grand Duke Frederick II, son of Frederick I. The former Grand Duke retained his private property including Mainau. When he died childless in 1928 the island passed to his sister Victoria of Baden, wife of King Gustaf V of Sweden. Upon her death two years later she bequeathed the island to her second son Prince Wilhelm, Duke of Södermanland and his descendants. In 1932 Prince Wilhem gave Mainau to his only child Lennart Bernadotte who owned it until 1974 when he transferred the island to a foundation. Count Bernadotte formed Enterprise Mainau GmbH in 1991 as a private enterprise to manage the island for the benefit of the Lennart Bernadotte-Stiftung. The Count remained active in managing Mainau until his death in 2004 but had appointed his second wife Sonja co-manager in 2001. Widowed, she and their children ran both the foundation and the management company until 2007. Since January 2007 Bettina Bernadotte, the eldest daughter of Lennart and Sonja, directs the Mainau GmbH as current manager, and since 2011 her brother Björn Bernadotte has joined her.
Pre- and Early History
In 1862, signs of an earlier population were discovered along the south banks of Mainau and soon exploited by domain administrator Walter: among the items were wedges, a potsherd, flint splinters, an axe and a muller. The pile dwelling settlement made up of six houses was uncovered in the 1930s and dated back to the Neolithic Age ( 3.000 b.c.). Lake-dwelling settlements of the Neolithic and the Bronze Age were located along the northern shore and the southwestern island along the shallow water zone.
(Wikipedia)
Die Insel Mainau, als Mav(e)no(w), Maienowe (1242) bzw. Maienow (1357), Maienau, Mainowe (1394) und Mainaw (1580) erwähnt, ist mit etwa 45 Hektar Fläche die drittgrößte Insel im Bodensee. Der Molassekalkfelsen befindet sich im Überlinger See genannten, nordwestlichen Teil des Bodensees. Sie ist vom Südufer des Überlinger Sees über eine Brücke zu erreichen und verfügt über einen Schiffsanleger, der von Kurs- und Ausflugsschiffen der Weißen Flotte bedient wird. Die nächsten größeren Städte sind Konstanz, Meersburg und Überlingen. Die Insel gehört zum Stadtteil Litzelstetten der Stadt Konstanz und befindet sich seit 1974 im Besitz der von Graf Lennart Bernadotte gegründeten gemeinnützigen „Lennart-Bernadotte-Stiftung“. Die gräfliche Familie ist bis heute wichtiger Teil der Attraktion der Mainau. Die Insel liegt an der Oberschwäbischen Barockstraße.
Geographie
Lage
Die Insel liegt auf einer Höhe zwischen 395 (Seeniveau bei mittlerem Wasserstand) und 425 Meter über Normalnull. Der höchste Punkt ist laut amtlichen Karten bei der Großherzog-Friedrich-Terrasse (historisches Wasserreservoir auf dem Vogelherd). Ihre Nord-Süd-Ausdehnung beträgt 610 Meter, ihre größte Breite (West-Ost) rund 1050 Meter. Der Umfang der Insel beträgt rund drei Kilometer. Die kürzeste Entfernung der abgesunkenen Molassescholle zum Seeufer beträgt 130 Meter.
Bevölkerung
Die Insel Mainau hat nur wenige Einwohner, Meyers Konversationslexikon von 1888 gab eine Bevölkerung von 28 an. Zur Volkszählung 1961 war eine Bevölkerung von 123 nachgewiesen. Auf der Insel Mainau lebt Björn Graf Bernadotte mit seiner Familie.
Anlage
Park- und Gartenanlagen
Bedingt durch das günstige Bodenseeklima wachsen auf der tropfenförmigen Insel Palmen und andere mediterrane Pflanzen. Wegen ihrer reichen subtropischen, teilweise auch tropischen Vegetation wird die Mainau auch als „Blumeninsel im Bodensee“ bezeichnet. Der 2004 verstorbene Graf Lennart Bernadotte nannte seine Insel gerne das „Blumenschiff“. Weiterhin beschrieb er das bekannte und für Besucher gegen Eintrittsgelder zugängliche Ausflugsziel mit folgenden Worten:
„Sie ist eine kokette kleine Dame, diese Mainau, die stets und ständig große Aufmerksamkeit fordert, noch mehr Liebe und vor allem unaufhörlich neue Kleider.“
– Lennart Bernadotte
Wobei er mit den „neuen Kleidern“ zuerst den immer wieder neu von Gärtnerhand gewebten Blütenüberwurf gemeint haben mag.
Herzstück der „Blumeninsel“ ist neben den historischen Gebäuden das von Großherzog Friedrich I. ab 1856 angelegte parkähnliche Arboretum der Insel Mainau mit seinen 500 verschiedenen Arten von zum Teil seltenen und wertvollen Laub- und Nadelgehölzen. Darunter befindet sich einer der ältesten Urweltmammutbäume (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) Deutschlands. Der aus China stammende Baum war 1952 als 70 Zentimeter großes Bäumchen im Ufergarten ausgepflanzt worden. Besonders mächtig sind einige Exemplare des Riesenmammutbaums (Sequoiadendron giganteum). Die Samen dieser Bäume kamen 1853 aus Kalifornien, und 1864 ließ Friedrich I. zahlreiche Bäume auf der Mainau pflanzen. Damit gehören sie zu den ältesten ihrer Art in Europa. Neben den riesigen Mammutbäumen befinden sich Zedern, Metasequoien und Tulpenbäume. Das Arboretum dehnt sich nordwestlich vom Schloss auf der Hochfläche aus.
Im Frühjahr Ende März/Anfang April beginnt auf der Mainau das Blumenjahr im Palmenhaus mit einer großen Orchideenschau. Von Ende März bis Mitte Mai blühen auf der Mainau Tulpen, Narzissen und Hyazinthen. Hierzu wurden im östlichen Teil der Insel an der sogenannten „Frühlingsallee“ parallel zum Weg Tausende von Tulpen-, Narzissen- und Hyazinthenzwiebeln gepflanzt. Ebenfalls im Frühjahr gedeihen auf der Insel Stiefmütterchen, Vergissmeinnicht und Primeln.
In der Übergangszeit von Mai und Juni zeigen sich die Blüten der 200 Rhododendren- und Azaleensorten. Westlich des Comturey-Kellers kommt man zu dem ebenfalls durch Großherzog Friedrich I. im italienischen Stil angelegten Rosengarten. Der sogenannte „italienische Rosengarten“ ist eine streng geometrische Anlage mit Pergolen, Skulpturen und Brunnen. Im Sommer betört der Duft der rund 500 verschiedenen Rosensorten, vor allem Beetrosen. Auf der ganzen Insel finden sich etwa 30.000 Rosenstöcke von 1200 Sorten. Eine Barocktreppe führt hinauf zur aussichtsreichen Schlossterrasse.
Die „Frühlingsallee“ führt zu den „Mediterran-Terrassen“ mit ihren exotischen Kübelpflanzen, wo im Sommer Palmengewächse, Agaven, Kakteen und Bougainvilleen gezeigt werden. Von hier hat man ein Panorama auf die Bodenseelandschaft. Im Juli zeigen sich auf der Mainau die Blüten der Engelstrompeten und des Hibiskus, im August die der Passionsblumen.
Südlich breitet sich der „Südgarten“ aus, wo im Herbst von September bis Oktober die Dahlienfelder mit etwa 20.000 Dahlienbüschen von 250 Sorten blühen. Im östlich anschließenden Ufergarten wachsen Frühlings- und Sommerblumen, darunter eine Sammlung verschiedener Fuchsienarten. Ein beliebtes Fotomotiv ist das Bodenseerelief, ein nach Jahreszeit unterschiedlich gestaltetes Blütenbild in Form des Bodensees.
An der Nordseite der Insel liegt der kleine Hafen mit Schiffsanlegestelle, wo die Ausflugsschiffe anlegen und es einen weiteren Eingang gibt.
Im ganzjährig geöffneten Schmetterlingshaus auf der Insel, mit etwa 1000 Quadratmeter das zweitgrößte seiner Art in Deutschland, können Besucher zwischen 25 °C und 30 °C Wärme und 80 bis 90 Prozent Luftfeuchtigkeit durch eine tropisch anmutende Umgebung mit Wasserfällen und exotischen Gewächsen gehen. Je nach Saison fliegen 700 bis 1000 bunte Falter bis zu 80 verschiedener Schmetterlingsarten, vor allem südamerikanischer Herkunft, frei zwischen den Besuchern. Rund ein Drittel der gezeigten Schmetterlingsarten vermehrt sich hier auf natürliche Weise. Doch ist es ganz unterschiedlich, wie viele Nachkommen es gibt. Aus diesen Gründen bekommt das Schmetterlingshaus wöchentliche Lieferungen von 400 Puppen von Züchtern aus Costa Rica, England und Holland. Rund 20.000 Euro beträgt das Budget im Jahr für neue Raupen. Die Gartenanlage rund um das Schmetterlingshaus wurde als Lebensraum für heimische Schmetterlinge gestaltet. Angeschlossen ist ein Duftgarten mit mehr als 150 Duftpflanzenarten.
Außer den Park- und Gartenanlagen gibt es einen Streichelzoo mit Ziegen und Ponys und den „Mainauer Bauernhof“ mit Alpakas, Hasen, Hühnern, Eseln, Schafen und Katzen sowie einige gastronomische Einrichtungen.
Für Kinder gibt es das rund 1100 Quadratmeter große Mainauer Kinderland „Wasserwelt“, einen Spielplatz mit einem 60 Zentimeter tiefen Wasserbecken, das von Flusssteinen mit einem Gesamtgewicht von rund 130 Tonnen eingefasst wird. In der Mitte des mit 170 Kubikmeter Wasser gefüllten Sees liegt eine Insel. Auf dem See können die Kinder mit Flößen umherfahren oder sich mit einer Holzfähre hinüberziehen. Rundherum stehen Holzhäuser als Klettergerüste, die laut Planern an die Zeit der Pfahlbauten erinnern sollen. Verbunden sind die Häuschen durch Hängebrücken und Kettenstege. Dazu gibt es Wasserrinnen und extra Matschtische. Falls ein Kind beim Spielen allzu tief in die Wasserwelt eingetaucht sein sollte, haben die beiden Mainauplaner Matthias Wagner und Markus Zeiler auch vorgesorgt: Am Spielplatz wurde in einem Kiosk ein Wäschetrockner aufgestellt, in dem die Eltern nasse Kleidungsstücke selbst trocknen können. Die Spiellandschaft wird wie alle anderen Spielplätze vom TÜV SÜD abgenommen und regelmäßig inspiziert.

[ENG] The complex of Wetlands of Sastago-Bujaraloz constitutes a set of endorheic lagoons without drainage, temporary and saline, considered as the most extensive and important in Europe, being unique for its peculiarities. It is located between the towns of Bujaraloz (Huesca, Spain) and Sástago (Zaragoza, Spain) between the regions of Los Monegros and the Ribera Baja de Ebro. These lagoons are flooded after the rains, and some - located below the water table - They also receive underground water, the latter being the ones with the highest concentration of salts. The evaporation exposes the bottom of the lagoon with a characteristic white saline crust. The vegetation that lives in the salt flats is adapted to low rainfall and extreme temperatures, and is arranged in concentric rings depending on its tolerance to salinity, the macrophytes appearing inside the buckets. Among the inhabitants of the salt flats, the aquatic invertebrates that have adapted their cycle to the presence of water stand out. And in its vicinity you can see foxes, rabbits, garden dormouse and ocellated lizards, as well as the birds short-toed snake eagle, Eurasian stone-curlew, golden eagle, common sandpiper, lesser kestrel, Dupont's lark, black-bellied sandgrouse and pin-tailed sandgrouse.
The Salada de la Playa is the largest of the whole and with the greatest presence of water, in which there are ruins of constructions related to the exploitation of salt dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, between those that include evaporation terraces, wells, salt store and barracks of soldiers guarding the farms.

[ESP] El complejo de Humedales de Sástago-Bujaraloz constituye un conjunto de lagunas endorreicas (sin desagüe), temporales y salinas, considerado como el más extenso e importante de Europa, siendo único por sus particularidades. Está situado entre las localidades de Bujaraloz (Huesca, España) y Sástago (Zaragoza, España) entre las comarcas de Los Monegros y la Ribera Baja de Ebro. Estas lagunas se inundan tras las lluvias, y algunas –situadas por debajo del nivel freático- también reciben agua subterráneas, siendo estas últimas las que tienen mayor concentración de sales. La evaporación deja al descubierto el fondo de la laguna con una costra salina blanca característica. La vegetación que vive en las salinas está adaptada a las lluvias escasas y a las temperaturas extremas, y se dispone en anillos concéntricos en función de su tolerancia a la salinidad, apareciendo en el interior de las cubetas los macrófitos. Entre los moradores de las salinas destacan los invertebrados acuáticos que han adaptado su ciclo a la presencia de agua. Y en sus proximidades se pueden observar zorros, conejos, lirón careto y lagartos ocelados, así como las aves culebrera europea, avutarda, archibebe común, alcaraván, ágila real, andarríos chico, cernícalo primilla, rocín o alondra de Dupond, ganga ortega y ganga común.
La Salada de la Playa es la mayor de todo el conjunto y con mayor presencia de agua, en la que existen ruinas de construcciones relacionadas con la explotación de la sal que datan de los siglos XVII y XVIII, entre las que se incluyen eras de evaporación, pozos, almacén de sal y cuartel de soldados que custodiaban las explotaciones.

[ENG] The Granada Cathedral, or the Cathedral of the Incarnation, shows impressive fronts and a magnificent interior with a grand altarpiece, several chapels and a sepulchral chamber in that the tombs of the Catholic Monarchs are situated. His construction began in 1523 in the place where the former Major Mosque had been placed under the direction of the architect Enrique Egas who conceived the temple in Gothic style, though his work remained limited to the foundation. In 1529 Diego de Siloé took charge of the works following his project of Renaissance lines, with ambulatory and five naves (instead of the three habitual ones) and it remained concluded in 1563. The main facade was undertaken in 1664 by Alonso Cano, in which Baroque elements were introduced. In 1706 Francisco de Hurtado Izquierdo and later his collaborator José Bada they constructed the current tabernacle of the cathedral. Only there got up a tower of three bodies instead of the two of six bodies projected. The lateral naves are closed in numerous chapels of different epochs and styles.
[ESP] La Catedral de Granada, o Catedral de la Anunciación, muestra impresionantes fachadas y un magnifico interior con un grandioso retablo, varias capillas y una cámara sepulcral en la que se hallan las tumbas de los Reyes Católicos. Su construcción se inició en 1523 en el lugar donde había estado situada la antigua Mezquita Mayor bajo la dirección del arquitecto Enrique Egas que concibió el templo en estilo gótico florido, aunque su trabajo quedó circunscrito a la cimentación. En 1529 Diego de Siloé se encargó de las obras siguiendo su proyecto de líneas renacentistas, con girola y cinco naves (en lugar de las tres habituales) y quedó concluido en 1563. La fachada principal fue emprendida por Alonso Cano en 1664, en la que se introdujeron elementos barrocos. En 1706 Francisco de Hurtado Izquierdo y posteriormente su colaborador José Bada construyeron el actual sagrario de la catedral. Sólo se levantó una torre de tres cuerpos en lugar de las dos de seis cuerpos proyectadas. Las naves laterales se cierran en numerosas capillas de diferentes épocas y estilos.

ENG: Yesterday, Sunday 22.05.2022 I participated in a six-hour Lost Places photo tour of go2know.de on the old and rundown airport site Rangsdorf and was once again heavily inspired. This time I provide a larger series here. ☻
In the 1930s, the Rangsdorf airfield was both a sports airport and an aircraft factory. While the manufacturer Bücker built sports aircraft in the huge production halls, there was always something going on outside on the airfield. Spectacular air shows were held regularly, with daredevil pilots performing daring pirouettes in the sky. Heinz Rühmann was a regular guest as a sports pilot. This is where the pioneers of aviation made history. The old airfield has been almost completely preserved with its many hangars, bunkers and outbuildings. However, the buildings are extremely dilapidated. Most recently, the Russians had used the site to repair their planes and helicopters. Russian writings and paintings can be seen everywhere. (...)
PROFILE:
- 1935: "Die Bücker-Werke-Rangsdorf" Bücker aircraft construction with production halls and factory airfield.
- 1936: Expansion of the site as a Reich sports airport with a water aerodrome and the first sports flying school
- 1939: Berlin commercial airport (temporary replacement for Tempelhof with German Lufthansa)
- 1940: Air base of the German Air Force
- 1945: Soviet Air Force base (maintenance, repair and overhaul of piston engines, jet engines and helicopters)
- 1994: Withdrawal of the Red Army and decommissioning

GER: Am gestrigen Sonntag den 22.05.2022 habe ich bei einer sechsstündigen Lost Places Fototour von go2know.de auf dem alten und heruntergekommenen Flughafengelände Rangsdorf teilgenommen und war mal wieder schwer begeistert. Diesmal stelle ich hier eine größere Serie bereit. ☻
Der Rangsdorfer Flugplatz war in den 1930er Jahren Sportflughafen und Flugzeugwerk zugleich. Während der Hersteller Bücker in den riesigen Produktionshallen Sportmaschinen baute, war draußen auf dem Flugfeld immer etwas los. Es gab regelmäßig spektakuläre Flugshows, bei denen sich tollkühne Piloten mit waghalsigen Pirouetten in den Himmel schraubten. Heinz Rühmann war als Sportpilot Stammgast. Hier haben die Pioniere der Luftfahrt Geschichte geschrieben. Der alte Flugplatz ist mit seinen vielen Hallen, Hangars, Bunkern und Nebengebäuden nahezu vollständig erhalten geblieben. Die Gebäude sind aber extrem verfallen. Zuletzt hatten die Russen das Gelände für die Instandsetzung ihrer Flugzeuge und Hubschrauber genutzt. Überall sieht man russische Schriften und Malereien. (…)
Steckbrief:
- 1935: „Die Bücker-Werke-Rangsdorf“ Bücker-Flugzeugbau mit Produktionshallen und Werkflugplatz
- 1936: Erweiterung des Geländes als Reichssportflughafen mit Wasserflughafen und der ersten Sportfliegerschule
- 1939: Verkehrsflughafen von Berlin (Temporärer Ersatz für Tempelhof mit Deutscher Lufthansa)
- 1940: Fliegerhorst der deutschen Luftwaffe
- 1945: Standort der sowjetischen Luftwaffe (Instandsetzung, Wartung und Reparatur von Kolbenmotoren, Strahltriebwerken und Hubschraubern)
- 1994: Abzug der Roten Armee und Stillegung

This week theme for the group MACROMONDAY is : The periodic table.
It was pretty hard to do this shot. My first problem was to calibrate light, and I was able to do only with a ND8 filter and a polarizer. Then I used a 430EXII flash at 1/2 power to light the glass and another 430EXII to light the background at full power. Balanced light for "fluorescent" to warm up the tungsten filament and get that bluish reflection on the glass.
But the worst thing was reflections over the bulb. I couldn't get rid of them in any way. At the end I managed to shape them to suggest the round shape of the bulb.
Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 is my lens, with a 21mm macro extension tube, trigger and receivers.

Il tema di questa settimana è La tavola periodica.
E' stato parecchio complicato riuscire ad ottenere questo scatto. Il primo problema è stato ovviamente la luce. Sono riuscito ad avere la meglio su quel filamento incandescente solo mettendo un filtro ND8 ed un polarizzatore davanti all'obiettivo.
Dopodichè ho usato un flash 430EXII laterale a 1/2 potenza per illuminare le parti in vetro e un'altro a piena potenza per illuminare lo sfondo. Ho usato il bilanciamento del bianco su "fluorescente" per riscaldare un pochino la luce del filamento ed ottenere quei riflessi blu sul vetro.
Ma il vero problema è stato gestire i riflessi! Dopo decine di modifiche e tentativi, non sono riuscito a fare altro che a modellarli leggermente, in modo da suggerire la forma rotonda della lampadina.

[ENG] The citadel of the Alhambra, located on the hill of al-Sabika, in Granada (Spain), is one of the most important architectural complexes of the Middle Ages and the greatest exponent of Islamic art in the West. Its history begins in the ninth century with military purposes, it was gradually expanding and in the thirteenth century, with the arrival of the first Nasrid monarch Mohamed ben Al-Hamar, the construction of the palaces that marked his time of greatest splendor began. The Alhambra was officially declared a World Heritage Site in 1984. Other pictures in Nasrid palaces album.
[ESP] Las dos fuentes del Patio de Arrayanes situadas en sus lados cortos del jardín, que suministran el agua al estanque, son circulares y representan el proceso vital: el surtidor es el nacimiento, que al caer va remansando en su ancho círculo que es la continuación de la vida, para luego correr por el estrecho canal figurando el ocaso, y terminar por fin derramándose en el gran estanque central que simboliza la eternidad. El imperceptible murmullo de la fuente y los reflejos ondulantes del palacio crean una atmósfera mágica difícil de olvidar.
La ciudadela de la Alhambra, asentada sobre el Cerro de al-Sabika, en Granada (España), es uno de los complejos arquitectónicos más importantes de la Edad Media y máximo exponente del arte islámico en Occidente. Su historia comienza en el siglo IX con propósitos militares, fue paulatinamente ampliándose y en el siglo XIII, con la llegada del primer monarca nazarí Mohamed ben Al-Hamar, se inició la construcción de los palacios que marcaron su época de mayor esplendor. Tras la conquista de Granada por los Reyes Católicos en el siglo XV se hicieron reformas y Carlos V inició la construcción del palacio que lleva su nombre. En el siglo XVIII quedó abandonada. Durante la dominación francesa parte de la fortaleza fue volada, y hasta el siglo XIX no comenzó su reparación y restauración, que aún se mantiene. Más fotografías en el álbum Alhambra.

[ENG] The Madrasa of Granada (Muslim religious institution dedicated to the teaching of theology, Koranic studies, law, philosophy, astronomy and literature) was built in 1349, at the time of the Nasrid king Yusuf I, and developed its activity until 1492. Of the original building only the oratory (restored in 1976), and some pieces of the facade deposited in the Provincial Archaeological Museum. The current structure is articulated, like the primitive madrassa, around a patio surrounded by marble columns on the lower level and a structure adintelada on the top, and a horseshoe arch with a alfiz supported by two fine marble columns give way to the oratory of square plant, with the mihrab in front under a horseshoe arch with light and dark alternate segments, its walls are of masonry profusely decorated with motifs of lacer and polychrome plaster ataurique that halfway pass to octagonal floor through four tubes decorated with mocharabes. In the lower part there are pairs of horseshoe arches framed in alfiz, and in the upper one a frieze of lattice windows that illuminate the room. It is covered with a wooden alfarje with an octagonal lantern in the center (which is not the original). Other pictures in Oratory, Madrasa of Granada (Spain) album.
[ESP] La Madraza de Granada (institución religiosa musulmana dedicada a la enseñanza de teología, estudios coránicos, derecho, filosofía, astronomía y literatura) se construyó en 1349, en tiempos del rey nazarí Yusuf I, y desarrolló su actividad hasta 1492. Del edificio original solo se conserva el oratorio (restaurado en 1976), y algunas piezas de la fachada depositadas en el Museo Arqueológico Provincial. La estructura actual se articula, como la primitiva madraza, en torno a un patio rodeado de columnas de mármol en el nivel inferior y una estructura adintelada en la parte superior, y un arco de herradura con alfiz apoyado en dos finas columnas de mármol dan paso al oratorio de planta cuadrada, con el mihrab enfrente bajo un arco de herradura con dovelas claras y oscuras alternas, sus muros son de mampostería profusamente decorados con motivos de lacería y ataurique de yeso policromados que a media altura pasan a planta octogonal mediante cuatro trompas decoradas con mocárabes. En la parte baja se sitúan pares de arcos de herradura enmarcados en alfiz, y en la superior un friso de ventanas con celosía que iluminan la estancia. Se cubre con un alfarje de madera con una linterna octogonal en el centro (que no es la original). Más fotografías en el álbum Oratorio, Madraza de Granada (España)

Am heutigen Samstag sollten beide Mädchen jeweils eine der neuen Blusen anziehen.Da Hanna abends noch zu Freundinnen wollte, entschied sich meine Schwägerin bei ihr für eine der Rüschenblusen, die im Rücken zu knöpfen sind. Dadurch blieb Hanna natürlich gezwungen, den sehr hohen und engen Stehkragen fest geschlossen zu tragen, was zwar sichtlich sehr unbequem war, sie aber wohl - um ihr Treffen abends nicht zu gefährden, ohne Gezeter aushielt, zumal sie ja mittlerweile schon gewohnt ist, dass ihr Hals tagtäglich iin einem engen, fest zugeknöpften Kragen gequetscht wird..
[ENG] The Church of Saint Andrew de Salardú, located in the Aran Valley (Lleida, Spain), was built between the 12th and 13th centuries in a transitional Romanesque to Gothic style. It has a basilica plan with three naves and four sections, and head-board of three semicircular apses. The most outstanding elements are a valuable polychrome wood carving (12th century) known as the Christ of Salardú, the bell tower of 25 m. high (15th century), the Romanesque portal of five archivolts adorned with plant motifs supported by columns, and the exceptional set of Renaissance wall paintings (17th century). More photos in the album Church of Saint Andrew of Salardu, Aran Valley.
[ESP] La portada se abre en la fachada sur y es la única entrada al templo. Es de estilo románico y consta de cuatro arquivoltas en degradación que ocasionan un apreciable abocinamiento, están realizadas con mármol blanquecino, y apoyan en cuatro pares de columnas con sus correspondientes capiteles decorados con figuras vegetales. La rosca exterior que realiza función de guardapolvos descansa en dos ménsulas decoradas con cabezas humanas de rastros grotescos. Sobre la portada destaca un crismón.
La Iglesia de Sant Andreu de Salardú, situada en el Valle de Arán (Lleida, España), se construyó entre los siglos XII y XIII en estilo románico de transición al gótico. Es de planta basilical con tres naves y cuatro tramos, y cabecera con tres ábsides semicirculares. Los elementos más destacados son una valiosa talla en madera policromada (siglo XII) conocida como el Cristo de Salardú, la torre campanario de 25 m. de altura (siglo XV), la portada románica de cinco arquivoltas adornadas con motivos vegetales que apoyan en columnas, y el excepcional conjunto de pinturas murales renacentistas (siglo XVII).

[ENG] The church of Bossost , dedicated to the invocation of the Mother of God of Purification, is one of the best preserved in the entire Val d'Aran region, and a clear example of the prototype of a Romanesque church of the valley (very horizontal buildings, with three naves and three semicircular apses and a very marked gable in the presbytery). It was built in the first half of the 13th century, and includes many foreign decorative elements: strips of blind semicircular arches in the bell tower and apses, or the small vertical lesenes (pilaster strip) on the outside of the apse, both typical of Lombard Romanesque, checkered jaques on the front and eaves… Outside the temple, the highlights are the bell tower, the head and its two façades. More photos in the album Church of Bossost, Aran valley (Spain).
[ESP] Los tramos rectos del presbiterio y de los muros sur y norte comparten un motivo ornamental: los canecillos con rostros humanos en que descansa la cornisa del alero. Son múltiples, y cada rostro trata de transmitir una emoción diferente (burlones, otros expresan quietud, o quizás temor).
La iglesia de Bossost, dedicada a la advocación de la Mair de Diu dera Purificacion, es una de las mejor conservadas de toda la comarca del Val d'Aran, y un claro ejemplo del prototipo de iglesia románica aranesa (edificios muy horizontales, con tres naves y tres ábsides semicirculares y un hastial muy marcado en el presbiterio). Fue construida en la primera mitad del siglo XIII, e incluye muchos elementos decorativos foráneos: franjas de arquillos ciegos de medio punto en campanario y ábsides, o las pequeñas lesenas verticales en el exterior del ábside, ambos propios del románico lombardo, ajedrezado jaqués en portada y aleros… En el exterior del templo, lo más destacado son el campanario, la cabecera y sus dos portadas.

[ENG] Attached to the north wall of the church, in what possibly it was going to constitute a lateral nave, there is situated a hall to which one accedes for the exterior door and that conects, on the one hand with a portico or rectangular lounge, for other one with the lateral apse and for the front with the church. The facade of the portico divides in four sections, in each of which a wide large window is opened surrounded by arches lightly pointed that roll over on thin columns with capitals of vegetable ornamentation.
[ESP] Adosado al muro norte de la iglesia, en lo que posiblemente iba a constituir una nave lateral, se halla un vestíbulo al que se accede por la puerta exterior y que comunica, por un lado con un pórtico o salón rectangular, por el otro con el ábside lateral y por el frente con la iglesia. La fachada del pórtico se divide en cuatro tramos, en cada uno de los cuales se abre un amplio ventanal rodeado por arcos ligeramente apuntados que voltean sobre finas columnillas con capiteles de ornamentación vegetal. El alero está sostenido por canecillos.

[ENG] The Toro Collegiate Church began to be constructed in the year 1160 during the reign of Alfonso VIII of Castile in Romanesque style, but his building did not end until ends of the 13th century, in Gothic style. The conjunction of both styles makes it specially attractive. The temple is formed by three naves with cruise that is finished off by a magnificent dome, whose design presents influences of the Zamora Cathedral and of the Salamanca Old Cathedral. He has three portals, those who are prominent the placed one in the north front, in that in one of his archivolts are carved the Elders of the Apocalypse, and the Door of West, also call of the Majesty, having a uncommon polychrome Gothic pórtico and richly adorned.

[ESP] La Colegiata de Toro comenzó a construirse en el año 1160 durante el reinado de Alfonso VIII en estilo románico, pero su edificación no terminó hasta finales del siglo XIII, en estilo gótico. La conjunción de ambos estilos la hace especialmente atractiva. El templo está formado por tres naves con crucero que se remata con un magnífico cimborrio, cuyo diseño presenta influencias de la Catedral de Zamora y de La Catedral Vieja de Salamanca. Dispone de tres portadas, de las que son destacables la situada en la fachada norte, en la que en una de sus arquivoltas están esculpidos los Ancianos del Apocalipsis, y la Puerta de Occidente, también llamada de la Majestad, que tiene un pórtico gótico policromado poco común y ricamente ornamentado.

From now on I will host "Lot No.402_".
The work of Leonardo da Vinci who was sleeping.
That is the number when it was put up for auction.
No sign was written on the work.
So this work couldn't conclude that it was his work.
However # as a result of various appraisals # it was exposed to the sun.
A work that no one notices. A work that speaks quietly without a title.
I will continue to strive to provide it to many people in various ways.

Main story
There are two reasons why a person faces the sea.
One to enjoy a slice of shine in the sea like children bubbling over in the beach.
The other to brush the dust of memory like an old man who misses old days staring at the shine
quietly.
Those lead to only one meaning though they do not seem to overlap. It’s a rebirth.
I face myself to change tomorrow a vague day into something certain.
That is the meaning of a rebirth.
I had a very sweet girlfriend when I was 18.
After she left I knew the meaning of gentleness for the first time and also a true pain of loss. After
she left # how many times did I depend too much on her # doubt her # envy her and keep on telling lies
until I realized it is love?
I wonder whether a nobody like me could have given something to her who was struggling in the
daily life in those days. Giving something is arrogant conceit. It is nothing but self-satisfaction.
I had been thinking about such a thing.
However I guess what she saw in me was because I had nothing. That‘s why she tried to see
something in me. Perhaps she found a slight possibility in me # a guy filled with ambiguous unstable
tomorrow. But I wasted days depending too much on her gentleness.
Now I finally can convey how I felt in those days when we met.

” Lot No.402_ ” に関するお知らせ。
今後、僕は、” Lot No.402_ ”を主催します。
このロットナンバーは、眠っていたレオナルドダヴィンチの作品がオークションにかけらた際に付されたものです。
作品にはサインなどがいっさい記されていなかったため、彼の作品だと断定できませんでした。
しかし、様々な鑑定の結果、陽の光を浴びました。
誰にも気づかれない作品。肩書がなくとも静かに語りかける作品。
僕はこれから様々な形で、多くの皆様に提供できるよう努めてゆきます。

あらすじ
大学を目指している北見ケイは、SNS上で、6歳年上のイベントコンパニオン、上村香織に出会う。
上京してきた香織の夢は、有名なアーティストの友達になるためだ。
そのためにはラジオ局のプロデューサー、大沢亮の存在が必要だった。
大沢は、ラジオの生放送中、香織へ語りかける。
「僕には妻子がある。しかし、僕は君に会いたいと思っている」
ケイの同級生で、彼を想っている三條里香は、香織の動向を探っていた。。。。。
本編
人が海へ向かう理由には、二つある。
ひとつは、波打ち際ではしゃぐ子供のように、今の瞬間の海の輝きを楽しむこと。
もうひとつは、その輝きを静かに見据えて、過ぎ去った日々を懐かしむ老人のように記憶の埃を払うこと。
二つは重なり合わないようではあるけれども、たったひとつの意味しか生まない。
再生だ。
明日っていう、曖昧な日を確実なものへと変えてゆくために、自分の存在に向き合う。
それが再生の意味だ。
十八歳だった僕には大切な人がいた。

[ENG] The citadel of the Alhambra, located on the hill of al-Sabika, in Granada (Spain), is one of the most important architectural complexes of the Middle Ages and the greatest exponent of Islamic art in the West. Its history begins in the ninth century with military purposes, it was gradually expanding and in the thirteenth century, with the arrival of the first Nasrid monarch Mohamed ben Al-Hamar, the construction of the palaces that marked his time of greatest splendor began. The Alhambra was officially declared a World Heritage Site in 1984. Other pictures in Nasrid palaces album.
[ESP] El interés por desvelar el significado de los epígrafes árabes contenidos en los muros de los palacios nazaríes nació desde el momento en que los Reyes Católicos entraron en la Alhambra. A lo largo de ese tiempo son numerosos los investigadores que han realizado estudios epigráficos, pero es en 2016, y tras doce años de trabajo aplicando un novedoso método de catalogación basado en tecnología informática, se han traducido y catalogado más de diez mil inscripciones encontradas en los sitios más inverosímiles de la Alhambra. La leyenda “Wa-la galib illa Allah” (No hay más vencedor que Alá) -lema adoptado por la dinastía nazarí- se repite cientos de veces, pero frente a lo que se pensaba, la mayor parte de las inscripciones no son bellos poemas ni citas del Corán, sino referencias a las hazañas de los sultanes que habitaron sus palacios, y a la belleza de sus construcciones.
La ciudadela de la Alhambra, asentada sobre el Cerro de al-Sabika, en Granada (España), es uno de los complejos arquitectónicos más importantes de la Edad Media y máximo exponente del arte islámico en Occidente. Su historia comienza en el siglo IX con propósitos militares, fue paulatinamente ampliándose y en el siglo XIII, con la llegada del primer monarca nazarí Mohamed ben Al-Hamar, se inició la construcción de los palacios que marcaron su época de mayor esplendor. Tras la conquista de Granada por los Reyes Católicos en el siglo XV se hicieron reformas y Carlos V inició la construcción del palacio que lleva su nombre. En el siglo XVIII quedó abandonada. Durante la dominación francesa parte de la fortaleza fue volada, y hasta el siglo XIX no comenzó su reparación y restauración, que aún se mantiene. Más fotografías en el álbum Alhambra.

[ESP] La Sala de los Reyes se estructura en un gran vestíbulo que ocupa todo el costado oriental del Patio de los Leones que da paso a tres alcobas principales cuadradas rematadas con cúpulas de mocárabes y separadas por dos espacios intermedios, a las que se abren tres alcobas rectangulares elevadas del suelo por un peldaño y cubiertas con falsas bóvedas de cuero de cordero pintadas por artistas cristianos. La pintura central –que da nombre a la Sala- representa diez personajes que, según la hipótesis más extendida, representan a los primeros reyes de la dinastía nazarí, dos de ellos pelirrojos como así fue, y las dos laterales muestran varias escenas secuenciales de un relato novelesco medieval que simbolizan a unos caballeros con vestidos musulmanes y cristianos que realizan pruebas para obtener los favores de una dama, sucediéndose episodios de cacerías, juegos de ajedrez, justas de caballeros… situándose la escena final en el camarín sur, en la que el caballero musulmán abate con su lanza al cristiano ante el gesto suplicante de la dama que se encuentra contemplando el torneo desde una torre. Estas pituras son únicas en el mundo, lo que les confiere el carácter de auténticas joyas.

I really like this shot.
It was taken inside a cloister, usually closed to visit.
During a night session with the group Noi del Piemonte a nice guy, living in the building, allowed us to enter and stay a wile shooting pictures.

Ecco uno scatto di cui sono particolarmente contento.
Durante l'uscita notturna con il gruppo Noi del Piemonte ci siamo intrufolati all'interno di un chiostro. Questo luogo normalmente rimane chiuso, ma un ragazzo molto gentile che abita all'interno ci ha permesso di entrare e di fermarci per qualche tempo a scattare foto.
La lingua di luce che entrava dal portone in ferro sarebbe già stato un bel soggetto, ma aggiungere la presenza umana (me stesso) mi ha permesso di creare un'immagine molto più drammatica.
