Greylag Goose - Anser anser
The ancestor of most domestic geese, the greylag is the largest and bulkiest of the wild geese native to the UK and Europe. In many parts of the UK it has been re-established by releasing birds in suitable areas, but the resulting flocks (often mixed with Canada geese) found around gravel pits, lakes and reservoirs all year round in southern Britain tend to be semi-tame and uninspiring. The native birds and wintering flocks found in Scotland retain the special appeal of truly wild geese.
Greylag geese are listed in Schedule 2 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act, meaning they can be killed or taken outside of the close season.
Population:
UK breeding:
46,000 pairs
UK wintering:
140,000 British-breeding birds and 88,000 from Iceland
From Ludolf of Lüdinghausen 1406 established Borgmühle was formerly a building belonging to the castle Lüdinghausen. At that time for the Borgmühle own new Steverarm had to be dug out.
After the death of the last knight of Lüdinghausen, in 1443 the mill, just as the castle, to the bishop of Münster and later reached to the chapter. From the renewal of the mill in 1711 the stone inscription about the entrance testifies. Today the mill offers an optically wonderful picture in the heart of the town.
The current mill wheel comes from 1988 and was donated by the home association.
Arundel Castle is a restored and remodelled medieval castle in Arundel, West Sussex, England. It was established during the reign of Edward the Confessor and completed by Roger de Montgomery. The castle was damaged in the English Civil War and then restored in the 18th and 19th centuries by Charles Howard, 11th Duke of Norfolk.
Since the 11th century, the castle has been the seat of the Earls of Arundel and the Dukes of Norfolk. It is a Grade I listed building.
The original structure was a motte-and-bailey castle. Roger de Montgomery was declared the first Earl of Arundel as the King granted him the property as part of a much larger package of hundreds of manors. Roger, who was a cousin of William the Conqueror, had stayed in Normandy to keep the peace there while William was away from England. He was rewarded for his loyalty with extensive lands in the Welsh Marches and across the country, together with one fifth of Sussex (Arundel Rape). He began work on Arundel Castle in around 1067.
The castle then passed to Adeliza of Louvain (who had previously been married to Henry I) and her husband William d'Aubigny. Empress Matilda stayed in the castle, in 1139. It then passed down the d'Aubigny line until the death of Hugh d'Aubigny, 5th Earl of Arundel in 1243. John Fitzalan then inherited jure matris the castle and honour of Arundel, by which, according to Henry VI's "admission" of 1433, he was later retrospectively held to have become de jure Earl of Arundel.
The FitzAlan male line ceased on the death of Henry Fitzalan, 12th Earl of Arundel, whose daughter and heiress Mary FitzAlan married Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk, to whose descendants the castle and earldom passed.
In 1643, during the First English Civil War, the castle was besieged. The 800 royalists inside surrendered after 18 days. Afterwards in 1653 Parliament ordered the slighting of the castle; however "weather probably destroyed more".
Although the castle remained in the hands of the Howard family over the succeeding centuries, it was not their favourite residence, and the various Dukes of Norfolk invested their time and energy into improving other ducal estates, including Norfolk House in London. Charles Howard, 11th Duke of Norfolk, was known for his restoration work and improvements to the castle beginning in 1787. The folly that still stands on the hill above Swanbourne Lake was commissioned by and built for the Duke by Francis Hiorne at this time.
In 1846, Queen Victoria and her husband, Prince Albert, visited Arundel Castle for three days. Henry Howard, 13th Duke of Norfolk, remodelled the castle in time for her visit to a design by an architectural firm, Morant: a suite of six rooms were built on the second floor of the south-east range at this time.
The 19th-century embellishments had not been completed when this picture was published in 1880. Soon after the 1846 Royal visit the 14th Duke began re-structuring the castle again. The work, which was done to the designs of Charles Alban Buckler and undertaken by Rattee and Kett of Cambridge, was completed in the late 19th century. The 16th Duke had planned to give the castle to the National Trust but following his death in 1975 the 17th Duke cancelled the plan. He created an independent charitable trust to guarantee the castle's future, and oversaw restorative works.
The extensive gardens had received significant improvements by early 2020 through the efforts of head gardener Martin Duncan and his crew. A horticulturalist and landscape designer, Duncan has been working at the Castle since 2009; in 2018, he received the Kew Guild Medal. The gardeners and volunteers "have worked wonders with their bold and innovative plantings", according to an April 2020 report by Country Life. Their most recent efforts led to a wild water garden around the ponds.

A cat in greenery is a harmonious combination ... however, cats are always and everywhere harmonious :)
The ancient Egyptians had a special relationship with cats: they were revered as sacred animals; mummified like humans; depicted in sculpture and frescoes. And the very first cat "portrait" was written by the Egyptians.
For a long time it was believed that the Egyptians tamed cats. However, in 2004, a burial site dating back to 9500 BC was discovered in Cyprus. e., in which a cat was found together with a man. A wild beast would hardly have been put in a grave. It turned out that cats lived with people long before they appeared in Egypt. The Middle East began to be considered the birthplace of domestic cats, and Egypt was forgotten for some time. But not for long: in 2008, a burial was opened in southern Egypt, in which six cats were found - a male, a female and four kittens. Although this burial was younger than the Cypriot one (about 6000 years), it became clear that cats were known in Egypt much earlier than was thought until recently.
It is known that the ancestor of the domestic cat was the steppe cat Felis silvestris lybica - it still lives in the steppe, desert and partly mountainous regions of Africa, Western, Central and Central Asia, in Northern India, Transcaucasia and Kazakhstan. In 2007, it was possible to establish that all modern cats descended from him.
Seafarers brought the first cats to Rus' in the pre-Christian era. Exotic animals were a valuable commodity: the cost of a cat until the 15th century was comparable to the value of a healthy arable animal - an ox.
Inchcolm Abbey was established as an Augustinian monastery in the twelfth century by David I, becoming an abbey in 1235. During the wars between England and Scotland, the location of Inchcolm Abbey meant that it was constantly under attack.
The island of Inchcolm Abbey continued to play a defensive role in the Napoleonic Wars and up to the Second World War. Despite its turbulent history, Inchcolm Abbey remains remarkably intact. Its thirteenth century cloisters are celebrated as some of the most well-preserved of their kind and visitors can even see a rare funereal fresco from the same period.

An unusual obelisk stands on the central square of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra. It was established in 1792 by the famous scholar and church leader - Metropolitan Plato (Levshin). On each side of the obelisk is a medallion with a text explaining exactly what role Laurus played in a given era ...
Many people know the monastery of St. Sergius of Radonezh as the spiritual center of Russian Orthodoxy and a collection of remarkable architectural monuments. But not everyone knows how important he played in the sharp turns of Russian history. And it’s hard to say in which country and how we would live today, if not for this monastery.
St. Sergius taught people primarily love and forgiveness. He himself set an example of humility in the most difficult situations.
Thousands of pilgrims come to the Lavra daily. There are 11 temples in the monastery.
Trinity Church is not the largest in the architectural ensemble of the Lavra, but it is here that the majority of those who came to the monastery are in a hurry. The whole time the temple is open for people to visit, the flow of people going into it does not stop: pilgrims hurry to bow to the relics of the founder of the monastery, St. Sergius.
Egyptian Goose - Alopochen Aegyptiacus
Once common along the entire Nile valley and regarded as sacred in ancient times, the Egyptian Goose is no longer an easy bird to see in the country from which it takes its name, as it is largely confined to upper Egypt. It is, however, widespread and common throughout sub-Saharan Africa, with introduced populations firmly established in England, Holland, Belgium and France. Concerns over conflict with native species has led to restrictions on keeping them in Britain and Europe.
This distinctive small goose is a member of the shelduck family. In the wild it is invariably found in pairs or family parties, while flocks of 50 or more can be found after the breeding season. The sexes are similar: both have a conspicuous chestnut patch encircling the eyes, giving them a somewhat piratical appearance, while the brilliant white forewing is obvious when they fly.
The UK Invasive Alien Species (Enforcement and Permitting) Order 2019 came into force on Sunday 1st December. The Order implements requirements contained in EU Regulation 1143/2014 on Invasive Alien Species, which sets out rules to prevent and minimise the impact of the introduction and spread of non-native animals and plants across the EU. The Order makes it an offence, amongst other things, to import, keep, sell, transport, breed or release into the environment, any of the listed plants and animals. Invasive alien waterfowl currently covered by this Order are Egyptian Geese and Ruddy Ducks Oxyura jamaicensis.
Bedgebury National Pinetum at Bedgebury, Kent, in the United Kingdom, is a recreational and conservational arboretum and, with the National Arboretum at Westonbirt, comprises the UK National Arboreta. It was established as the National Conifer Collection in 1925 and is now recognised as the most complete collection of conifers on one site anywhere in the world. The collection has over 10,000 trees growing across 320 acres (1.3 km2), including rare, endangered and historically important specimens. Bedgebury National Pinetum conducts conservation work and is home to some 56 vulnerable or critically endangered species and houses five NCCPG National Plant Collections.
Bedgebury is first mentioned in an Anglo-Saxon charter in AD 841, the name deriving from the Old English bycgan, meaning "buy", and the Kentish vecge, meaning "to bend or turn", possibly in reference to a stream.
John de Bedgebury is listed as the earliest resident of Bedgebury, in the time of Edward II. In the 15th century Agnes de Bedgebury, sister and heir of John (died 1424) married John Colepeper, whose Colepeper heirs, financed by mining clay-ironstone on the estate, were resident until at the time of the restoration of Charles II, and who created an ornamental park on the Bedgebury estate. Elizabeth I visited in August 1573.
The current house was built in 1688 for Sir James Hayes, a little apart from the old house. The estate later passed to the Stephenson family, who retained it until it was left to a Miss Peach, who sold it in 1789 to John Cartier, Governor of Bengal and High Sheriff of Kent, who improved the plantings and the house.
In the 1840s Viscount William Beresford developed the estate by creating the village of Kilndown and three lodges, one of which – Keepers Lodge, now known as Park House – became the centre of the Pinetum. Beresford initiated the pinetum in the 1850s and his successor, his stepson Alexander Beresford Hope, developed Lady Mildred's Drive to enable visitors in carriages to view the trees. The estate was sold in 1899 to Isaac Lewis, who allowed the collection to fall into neglect, and it was purchased by the Crown Estate in 1918 for its marshy land and drier ridges, as well as its streams, lakes and valleys. In 1919, the house was bought by the Church Education Corporation to operate as a school. The school closed in 2006.
The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew and the Forestry Commission established the site as The National Pinetum in a joint venture in 1924, as the National Conifer Collection, because air pollution was rendering London unsuitable for growing conifers. A site at the southern end of Bedgebury Park was chosen, centred on Marshall's Lake and a stream-filled valley.
The first plants for the pinetum were raised at Kew Gardens in 1921 and transferred to Bedgebury in 1925 and 1926, alongside Viscount Beresford's existing plantings. Development of the collection was managed by the Kew botanist William Dallimore, a world-renowned expert on conifers.
In 1969 management of the pinetum reverted solely to the Forestry Commission, who extended it in 1977 and created two new lakes. In the Great Storm of 1987 almost a quarter of the trees were brought down. The aim of Bedgebury National Pinetum is "to grow as many species of conifers as the climatic conditions will allow, planted in generic groupings, using geographically associated plantings where possible." (W. Dallimore, 1923)
The pinetum holds 10,000 specimens of conifers and other species that grow in temperate zones, including 7,000 trees, as living gene banks and as a genetic resource for future restoration programmes. It holds 2,300 different species of conifer, specimens of which include the tallest tree in Kent (Abies grandis) and the three tallest Leyland Cypresses in the UK. The plan is for the pinetum to provide a mix of 70% conifers to 30% broadleaves, and to leave 40% of the site open to provide vistas and allow the trees to be appreciated.
Bedgebury National Pinetum is home to six NCCPG National Plant Collections: Yew, Juniper, Thuja, Lawson's Cypress, Leyland Cypress and Cryptomeria japonica. The collection contains 56 species that have been officially declared vulnerable or critically endangered. The scale and quality of Bedgebury National Pinetum's conifer collection have made it an ideal site to take part in the International Conifer Conservation Programme (ICCP), run by the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. The ICCP aims to promote the conservation of conifers through conservation work, research and education, and work carried out at Bedgebury makes up part of the effort to conserve the genetic diversity of conifers, particularly those from temperate forests.
The Bedgebury Conifer Conservation Project, initiated in 2007, is designed to use redundant forest plots to grow large numbers – up to 500 – of endangered conifers to provide an ex-situ genetic resource. The first plots were planted with Chilean plum yew by Boy Scouts celebrating their centenary in 2007, and future plantings will include samples from Europe, Asia, North America and Australasia.
Bedgebury nursery was the first to germinate Vietnamese golden cypress (Xanthocyparis vietnamensis) and chichibu birch (Betula chichibuensis) seeds in cultivation.

A long-established favourite of the village and last defence from the ravages of the North Sea the pub has felt the wrath of the waves on at least three occasions. The last in the great storm of 1953 when the front was washed away and the fishermen looked on in sorrow as the precious bottles of brew bobbed about on the retreating foam ;-(
Locals will tell you that, until very recently, one had to wait for a retreating wave before making a dash into or out of the bar to avoid getting your feet wet! As the sign says: “In rough weather please use the other door.
Established: 1889. Located on 64-acres of rolling land, the arboretum was developed to test the hardiness of woody plants in the Canadian climate. With a variety of micro-climates and showcasing a range of woody plants, the collection contains around 4000 specimens.
Canada’s oldest arboretum. Over 1,000 tree species and varieties from around the world planted in a varied topography of hills, protected depressions and lowland, waterside areas where they could be evaluated for their hardiness to the Canadian climate. Many trees of immense size date back to the origin of the arboretum
Established over 1000 years ago by the Tiwa tribe, long before Columbus "discovered" America, this multilevel village constructed from mud and straw, has been continuously inhabited to this day. It is now designated a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Established in the first decade of the eighth century and first attested in a document dated 854; Ribe is the oldest extant town in Denmark (and in Scandinavia). The town celebrated its 1300th anniversary in 2010.
Established in 1808, Dunbar Lifeboat Station is located on the south side of the mouth of the Firth Of Forth, approximately 30 miles east of Edinburgh. The crews have been honoured with 12 awards for gallantry.
First off, let's establish size here. Even though this has been shot with a macro lens, this is nowhere even close to a macro shot, not even close-focus! In fact, this is (on sensor) about 5:1 or about 1/5 life size. This (harmless to humans) wasp from head to tip of her ovipositor is around 15 cm (6") !!!, and yes you can tell it's a female, because she has an ovipositor (duh). This is the largest parasitic wasp in North America, at it's very northern boundary on the north coast of Lake Erie. I did try to get in for a macro shot of her face, but she was having no part of that paparazzi crap. First time I've ever seen this beauty, and trust me I was borderline catatonic with the excitement! Two-image stack, handheld.
PLEASE: Do not post any comment graphics, they will be deleted. See info in my bio.
"Contact has been established..... and the alien-spaceship called "Iceflower" is preparing for landing....."
Update: it landed!! Here you can see the side view .
This time I folded the 'Starflower' from glassine and on a bigger grid 1:32, so I had more space left at the edges to invent this origami "Spaceship".
Hexagon about 15cm, finished model about 9cm.
I like to fold with different kind of paper and with different colors. The textures and the color inspire me in creating the model, but also finding the name and sometimes a little story ;-)
Have a nice day ;-))

Snæfellsjökull National Park was established on June 28th, 2001.The Park's purpose is to protect and conserve the area's unique landscape, indigenous plants and animal life as well as the important historical relics. At the same time, the Park is meant to allow visitors easier access as well as an improved opportunities to get to know the area. National parks are amongst Iceland's finest assets and everyone is free to explore them.The Snæfellsjökull glacier lies within the national park, and the park is the only Icelandic national park that stretches to the sea. The geology of Snæfellsnes national park is diverse with formations from almost every era of Iceland’s past. The more prominent formations in and around the National Park mainly date from geologically “modern” times back to the last ice age. The hills to the north of the glacier, around Bárðarkista, are of volcanic palagonite tuff, formed during eruptions under the glacier or below the surface of the sea. Svalþúfa is most likely the eastern section of a crater that erupted under the sea, while Lóndrangar is a volcanic plug.

Ontario (Algonquin Park) - 20191005-02
Established in 1893, it is the oldest provincial park in Canada. Additions since its creation have increased the park to its current size of about 7,653 km2 (2,955 sq mi).
Its size, combined with its proximity to the major urban centres of Toronto and Ottawa, makes Algonquin one of the most popular provincial parks in the province and the country. Highway 60 runs through the south end of the park, while the Trans-Canada Highway bypasses it to the north. Over 2,400 lakes and 1,200 kilometres of streams and rivers are located within the park. Some notable examples include Canoe Lake and the Petawawa, Nipissing, Amable du Fond, Madawaska, and Tim rivers. These were formed by the retreat of the glaciers during the last ice age.
The park is considered part of the "border" between Northern Ontario and Southern Ontario. The park is in an area of transition between northern coniferous forest and southern deciduous forest. This unique mixture of forest types, and the wide variety of environments in the park, allows the park to support an uncommon diversity of plant and animal species. It is also an important site for wildlife research. (Wikipedia)

We made the trek to Algonquin Park for fall colours a couple of years ago. It seemed that half of the population of Toronto and Ottawa was also there, with hundreds of cars and people filling the parking areas and roadsides as we all tried for the best views of the fall colours. I love this park, but not when it is so full of people. I'll look for less obstructed views of leaves in the future.

Liebe Freunde, heute lasse ich den Künstler Klaus Dauven zu diesem Kunstwerk zu Wort kommen!
www.franzkafkaverein.de/klaus-dauven-reverse-graffiti/
„Zum 25-jährigen Unesco-Welterbe-Jubiläum verändert das Bamberger Wahrzeichen seine Postkartenansicht! Mit einem „reverse graffiti“ wird in den nächsten Jahren ein zeitgenössisches Kunstwerk auf hunderttausenden Touristenfotos sein und so um die Welt gehen. Ohne Farbe werden vom Dürener Begründer der Kunstgattung „reverse graffiti“ Klaus Dauven (*1966) Kunstwerke im öffentlichen Raum geschaffen.
Klaus Dauven: Bamberg kenne und schätze ich schon seit Jahrzehnten, da hier mein Bruder und auch mein Sohn studiert haben. Das Rathaus bildet in meinen Augen das Zentrum der Stadt und stellt die Verbindung zwischen den einzelnen Stadtteilen her. Die Möglichkeit, an so einem prominenten und kulturell wichtigen Ort zu arbeiten, stellt eine Besonderheit dar, da ich sonst eher im Natur-Raum arbeite. Die ungewöhnlich schmale und lange „Zeichenfläche“ der unteren Brücke, die in ihrer zurückgenommenen Gestaltung einen reizvollen Gegensatz zu den Barockelementen der oberen Brücke und des Rathauses bildet, stellt eine besondere Herausforderung für meine Komposition dar.“
Ich wünsche Euch einen sonnigen Herbsttag, schön, dass Ihr mich besucht habt, ein Kommentar und Stern sind willkommen!
Without words!
Dear friends, today I let the artist Klaus Dauven have his say on this work of art!
www.franzkafkaverein.de/klaus-dauven-reverse-graffiti/
"On the occasion of the 25th Unesco World Heritage Anniversary, the Bamberg landmark is changing its postcard view! A "reverse graffiti" will be a contemporary work of art on hundreds of thousands of tourist photos over the next few years and will thus go around the world. Klaus Dauven (*1966), the Dürener founder of the art genre "reverse graffiti", created works of art in public space without color.
Klaus Dauven: I have known and appreciated Bamberg for decades because my brother and son studied here. In my eyes, the town hall forms the centre of the city and establishes the connection between the individual districts. The opportunity to work at such a prominent and culturally important location is a special feature, because otherwise I would rather work in a natural environment. The unusually narrow and long "drawing surface" of the lower bridge, which in its restrained design forms a charming contrast to the baroque elements of the upper bridge and the town hall, represents a special challenge for my composition".
I wish you a sunny autumn day, nice that you have visited me, a comment and a star are welcome!

Sans paroles !
Chers amis, aujourd'hui je laisse la parole à l'artiste Klaus Dauven sur cette œuvre d'art !
www.franzkafkaverein.de/klaus-dauven-reverse-graffiti/
"A l'occasion du 25ème anniversaire du patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco, le monument de Bamberg change sa vision des cartes postales ! Un "reverse graffiti" sera une œuvre d'art contemporain sur des centaines de milliers de photos touristiques au cours des prochaines années et fera ainsi le tour du monde. Klaus Dauven (*1966), le fondateur de Dürener du genre artistique "reverse graffiti", a créé des œuvres d'art dans l'espace public sans couleur.
Klaus Dauven : Je connais et apprécie Bamberg depuis des décennies parce que mon frère et mon fils y ont étudié. A mes yeux, la mairie forme le centre de la ville et établit le lien entre les différents quartiers. La possibilité de travailler dans un endroit aussi important et culturellement important est une particularité, car sinon je préférerais travailler dans un environnement naturel. La "surface de dessin" exceptionnellement étroite et longue du pont inférieur, qui dans son design sobre forme un contraste charmant avec les éléments baroques du pont supérieur et de l'hôtel de ville, représente un défi particulier pour ma composition".
Je vous souhaite une belle journée d'automne ensoleillée, agréable que vous m'ayez rendu visite, un commentaire et une étoile sont les bienvenus !

Queridos amigos, hoy dejo que el artista Klaus Dauven dé su opinión sobre esta obra de arte!
www.franzkafkaverein.de/klaus-dauven-reverse-graffiti/
"Con motivo del 25º aniversario del Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO, el monumento de Bamberg está cambiando la imagen de su postal. Un "graffiti inverso" será una obra de arte contemporáneo en cientos de miles de fotos de turistas en los próximos años y, por lo tanto, dará la vuelta al mundo. Klaus Dauven (*1966), el fundador de Dürener del género artístico "reverse graffiti", creó obras de arte en el espacio público sin color.
Klaus Dauven: He conocido y apreciado a Bamberg durante décadas porque mi hermano y mi hijo estudiaron aquí. En mi opinión, el ayuntamiento constituye el centro de la ciudad y establece la conexión entre los distintos distritos. La oportunidad de trabajar en un lugar tan prominente y culturalmente importante es una característica especial, porque de lo contrario preferiría trabajar en un entorno natural. La inusualmente estrecha y larga "superficie de dibujo" del puente inferior, que en su diseño sobrio contrasta con los elementos barrocos del puente superior y del ayuntamiento, representa un reto especial para mi composición".
Le deseo un día soleado de otoño, que sea agradable que me haya visitado, un comentario y una estrella son bienvenidos!

Various plants in the arboretum in Rogów. It's nice to walk there among this greenery :)
The Rogów Arboretum, established in 1925, is the Station of Protection and Shaping of Forest Ecosystems. It covers an area of 54 ha and is of an exceptional character as compared with other centers of the type in Poland or Europe, because it has been built from the very beginning as a research – didactic object and, moreover, it was located in the forest and has been tightly connected with the forest experimental study from the moment of its origin. The Arboretum consists of three basic parts: the dendrological collections (about 22 ha), the forest experimental plots (about 18 ha) and the alpine garden (1.5 ha).
The dendrological collections that is tree and shrub individuals planted either separately or in groups or small area forms, are mainly concentrated in the central and southern part of the Arboretum, covering a total of 2350 species and varieties. The Arboretum’s specialty is its collection of maples and shrubs from China. This segment is managed naturally, having the look of more a forest park than a typical botanical garden. The trees give the shelter and the proper microclimate for the introduced trees and shrubs.

Bujna roślinność w arboretum w Rogowie. Miło tak spacerować tam wśród zieleni :)
Arboretum w Rogowie – należy do grupy najcenniejszych, najbogatszych w gatunki i odmiany drzew i krzewów tego typu ogrodów w Europie. Położony jest w dawnym siedlisku leśym i ma charakter parku leśnego. Od początku istnienia (1925 r.) podlega pod Wydział Leśny SGGW. Na jego obszarze znajdują się jedne z najbogatszych i najciekawszych kolekcji drzew i krzewów Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej. Najchetniej odwiedzanym miejscem w ogrodzie jest alpinarium. Oprócz wyniesionych na 2 m ponad poziom gruntu skalniaków, założono tu ciąg strumyków, kilka oczek wodnych i 5-arowy staw z wyspą. W rogowskim alpinarium można obejrzeć ponad 400 gatunków i odmian roślin, pochodzących z gór całego świata. W większości są to byliny, ale nie tylko. Rosną tu także krzewy i drzewa terenów górzystych, np. majestatyczne świerki serbskie, kształtne limby czy srebrzyste jodły kalifornijskie.

Erick was established in 1901 as an agricultural community on what would become the edge of the Dust Bowl during the Great Depression of the 1930s.[6] It was located on the National Old Trails Road, one of the predecessors to the 1926 numbered US Highway system. Large segments of that road became part of U.S. Route 66.[ 1136

Orthodox congregation in Valmiera was established in the 1920s, when many Russian merchants, craftsmen and soldiers settled in the city. In Vidzeme in general, the conversion of Latvian farmers to Orthodoxy is widespread, both under the general policy of Russification and hoping to acquire land in this way.
The construction of the new Valmiera Orthodox church began in 1877 and was completed in December 1878. Its author is the first academically educated Latvian architect Jānis Frīdrihs Baumanis (1834–1891). The church was consecrated on May 16, 1879. The church was built of torn gray boulders. Eaves, corners and cornices are made of red locally made bricks. Next to the church is the Mengden family chapel - a mausoleum (built in 1903). A new iron fence was built around the chapel, on stone poles and on a stone foundation. The money, 2000 rubles, was given for the construction of the fence by Count George Mengden's son Georgy Mengden. On November 9th, 1903, in the presence of Dmitry Muraveisk, a clergyman of the Church of St. Sergey of Radonezh, took the coffin of Count George Mengden's father with ashes from the Lutheran chapel to the chapel of the Orthodox church. Inside it, on the east wall, a marble slab with an inscription was fastened and the symbol "Resurrection" was placed in a special niche.
The British rulers in India established the first permanent structure for its revenue collection in Mausuni Island more than almost two centuries ago when they gradually consolidated its colonial powers in Bengal.....the island is strategically located in the farthest point on navigating route to Bengal, which helped them to keep watch on every ship coming and going through the Bay of Bengal, either for trade or attempting battle...the beauty of British rule in India, despite all colonial abuses, lies in its systematic governance through reforms and establishment of both revenue and judicial system and their inherent passion for academic pursuits....the Island is still not connected to the main land except by boat and we had to accommodated ourselves in rural hut on the beach with just basic facilities...taken in Mausuni Island, West Bengal, India
