Welcome to Karterados
The traditional village of Karterados is built beside a stream in a ravine. Its existence is recorded back to the 17th century. The original dwellings are cave houses built deep into the rock face. During the 19th century, it was one of the large sea captain villages on the island. The name of the village comes from the Greek word 'karteri' = waiting point or ambush point, probably because ambushes were set to trap marauding pirates.
The village square has a traditional windmill and a memorial plaque to commemorate those who died in the Second World War. On the left hand side as you leave the square, the road curves sharply to the left, and there you will discover the 'Steps of Galaios'. Barely visible from the main road is a small neighbourhood of cobbled streets, Captains houses and cave houses built into the rock.
The shops are open all year round, since Karterados also has a considerable number of permanent residents.

Oostkerke is a village belonging to Damme, close to Bruges in Flanders.
From the 10th century on there was some structure built for defence in this place: probably first a wooden keep (tower), later a brick one. The gate building with its two round towers (better seen in my previous photo) dates from the 14th century and some 18th-century parts survived World War I and II as well. However, the castle suffered severely during these wars, so it was restored in the 1950s, in renaissance style. In that period the Dutch landscape gardener Mien Ruys constructed the gardens, which are a valuable part of the castle. Some years ago I had the opportunity to visit them on a day when they were exceptionally open to the public. Although the gardens of Oostkerke Castle are small to English standards, they are varied and intimate, and they contain historical elements such as remains of circular walls, moats and the stone part ('the body') of one of the windmills of Oostkerke. Behind the gate in my photo there is a wooden bridge over the moat.
At least 6 different families owned the castle through its existence. Baron Jozef van der Elst bought the castle in 1937 and financed its restoration - as far as I know, he still owns Oostkerke Castle.
U příležitosti 90. výročí existence značky Lego proběhla v pátek 10. června 2022 soukromá akce v Praze-Braníku. Firma zajistila návoz svých zaměstnanců zvláštními vlaky, které byly vypraveny přímo z Kladna do stanice Praha Braník.
O návoz se postaraly dvě velké soupravy. Jedna byla složena z vozů klasické stavby a o převoz se postaraly lokomotivy 754.045 a 754.031. Druhá souprava pro mě určitě zajímavější byla složena z motorových vozů řady 854 a vložených Bdtn 054. Na snímku je zachycena právě druhá ze jmenovaných souprav (vlak Sv11770), s postrkovým motorovým vozem 854.212, vložené jsou 854.029 a 854.217, v čele vlaku jede 854.008. Vlak je teprve na cestě do Kladně, kam jede vyzvednout cestující.
Bohužel počasí si ten den vyloženě s fotografy hrálo a příliš nespolupracovalo.

December in the California desert is an awesome time if you can stand the extreme weather. It can be cold, windy and raining at the same time while taking photos.

"The craving for color is a natural necessity just as for water and fire. Color is a raw material indispensable to life. At every era of his existence and his history, the human being has associated colour with his joys, his actions and his pleasures." -Fernand Leger, "On Monumentality and Color", 1943

Into the motion of life. The never stopping wheel of destiny and fate. Sometimes not such a linear path. Yet the freedoms we need for love and peace.
Happy Slider Sunday
One of the most relaxing things for me it's to be on a big beach with no one else. Just the sound of the waves...
Today was the time of one of those moments.
She always loved libraries. The smell of books bringing back memories of so many adventures and meeting new friends.
Her trip today was no exception. She was lost in a story, but when she looked up, she smiled as she realized the story had found her.
"Well now..." she said softly. "Will you show me where the adventure takes us from here?"
The creature beside her stopped gazing around and gave a happy grunt as he looked at her expectantly.
"I am happy to meet you too." she replied with a grin. "Lead the way! I shall follow close behind..."
