Neuburg a.d.Donau ist eine Große Kreisstadt in Bayern. Jahrhundertelang war Neuburg Residenzstadt für das Herzogtum Pfalz-Neuburg, was sich in der Architektur bis heute widerspiegelt. Eine vorhandene mittelalterliche Burg, wurde durch den Pfalzgrafen ab dem Jahr 1527 zu einem Renaissance-Schloss umgestaltet und erweitert, das nach künstlerischer Qualität und Erhaltungszustand zu den bedeutesten Schlossbauten der ersten Hälfte des 16. Jahrhunderts Deutschlands gehört.
Neuburg a.d.Donau is a large district town in Bavaria. For centuries Neuburg was the seat of the Duchy of Palatinate-Neuburg, which is reflected in the architecture to this day. An existing medieval castle, was remodeled and expanded by the Count Palatine from the year 1527 to a Renaissance castle, which according to artistic quality and state of preservation is one of the most important castle buildings of the first half of the 16th century in Germany.

Whenever I am sad or happy this song never fails me... <3
“My prayers, my tears, my wishes, fears, and lamentations, were witnessed by myself and heaven alone. When we are harassed by sorrows or anxieties, or long oppressed by any powerful feelings which we must keep to ourselves, for which we can obtain and seek no sympathy from any living creature, and which yet we cannot, or will not wholly crush, we often naturally seek relief in poetry—and often find it, too—whether in the effusions of others, which seem to harmonize with our existing case, or in our own attempts to give utterance to those thoughts and feelings in strains less musical, perchance, but more appropriate, and therefore more penetrating and sympathetic, and, for the time, more soothing, or more powerful to rouse and to unburden the oppressed and swollen heart.”
― Anne Brontë, Agnes Grey
1 Timothy 1:13-14 New International Version (NIV)
13 Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief. 14 The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

The Krall Barn is believed to be the oldest existing log barn in Lebanon County. The effort to save it first kicked off in 2007, when the structure, then located east of Schaefferstown, was saved from destruction by a cooperating owner, Howard Scharff, who worked with Schaefferstown’s Bill Ross by offering to donate the barn if it was dismantled. The way it stands now, most of the exterior of the Krall Barn is nearly complete. But there are many smaller, inside projects yet to be tackled. The education center is expected to make it easier for visitors to enjoy their time at the 110 acre historic site that features three locks of the Union Canal, an engineering feat visited by none less than President George Washington himself during its construction.

From my 2005 Xinjiang Archives
.
Bezeklik Thousand Buddha Caves (柏孜克里克千佛洞), or Bezeklik Caves in short, is located on the cliff on the west bank of Mutougou, on the Flaming Mountain in the east of Turpan, Xinjiang. "Bezeklik" means "hillside" in Uighur and "decorative painting" in Turkic. There are originally 83 caves, 57 of which are still in existence. Among them, more than 40 have ancient murals covering a total area of 1200 square meters. Among the existing grottoes in Turpan, Bezeklik Caves has the most caves and the most abundant murals. It is one of the largest Buddhist grotto sites in Xinjiang and is also the one with the highest standard, which was once the royal temple of Huihu Kingdom (A.D. 848 - early 13th century) in Gaochang. In 1980, 134 lines of sutras and ink books with color illustrations of Manichaeism in Sogdian language were unearthed here. It is of great cultural value to the study of the existence and spread of this long lost religion in China. In 1982, with the approval of the State Council, Bezeklik Thousand Buddha Caves was listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit. Google

The Old Railroad Trestle
(located in River Walk, downtown Murphy NC)
This old trestle crosses the Valley River and carries the rail that once conneced Murphy to Andrews, NC.
Archeological evidence indicates that this is not the original railroad bridge built when the railroad connected Murphy to points east. When the river is very low, you might be able to observe old wooden footers under the existing bridge that would have been the foundation for an earlier, wooden trestle.
These old wooden footers would have been built on shore, then floated to position before being sunk and filled with rocks to hold them in place. The wooden trestle would have been built up from this new foundation.
Just when the newer steel bridge replaced the wooden trestle is not known exactly. Presumably the new bridge was needed to carry larger and heavier trains necessary to service this growing area.
This beautiful old steel bridge stands silent now. It stands now as a monument to busier times. No train has crossed here since THE LAST TRAIN LEFT MURPHY ON JULY 4, 1992.

The Puerta Baja is one of the most imposing monumental entrances in the entire country. Great in the entire extension of the term, it has huge towers flanking a vast arch of unequaled width and that makes sense to give way to the waters of storms that periodically hover over the city.
The Gate was originally, perhaps in the 13th century, a simple arch defended by a tower. In the fourteenth century the entrance was modified, raising a simple tower with pointed openings (it is the inner half of the tower on the left seen from inside the enclosure).
In the XV century, around 1451, the two towers that flank the arch were erected; in a case, the left tower, adding a body to the existing one, in the one in the tower on the right, always seen from the inside, building it on a new floor; the two towers were crowned with staggered merlons. At this time the central body of the door was modified, opening a gallery of arches. Already in the 16th century the access arch was lowered and the imperial shield of Carlos V was placed
It was rehabilitated between 1987 and 1988 by the Daroca Workshop School to locate the Darocenses Studies Center.
Diagonal view of the Prayer Hall (拝殿) of Izumo Taisha with the Main Shrine (御本殿) half hidden in the back. This is a typical style of Shinto architecture called Taisha-zukuri (大社造) on a par with Shinmei-zukuri (神明造) of Ise Jinguu in Mie prefecture and Sumiyoshi-zukuri (住吉造) of Sumiyoshi Taisha in Osaka.
The oldest record of the shrine dates back to 867 AD but it is apparent that the shrine is older than that record. Existing Prayer Hall is a reconstruction in 1959 after the fire in 1953 that burnt down the architecture built in 1519.
Izumo Taisha is dedicated to Ookuninushi-no-Mikoto (大国主命)" who was an earthly god (国つ神) of Izumo, the old name of eastern Shimane prefecture. He was the protagonist of a section in the Japanese mythology, in which he granted Izumo to a heavenly god (天つ神) descended from the heaven in exchange for building Izumo Taisha for him.
Kojiki and Nihon Shoki cronicles claim that the heavenly god is the ancestor of the imperial family that survives today in Tokyo.
This part of the chronicles reflects a process of unification of Japan by the dynasty based in Yamato, present-day Nara south of Kyoto. It supposedly reflects the fact that a powerful political entity was there in Izumo.

Like this Marbled Godwit, all I can do is ponder where things went wrong. After more than ten years with my existing company I find myself potentially facing a layoff. So, we're taking some time off work (and maybe Flickr, depending) and going to some happy places. If the storms allow of course.
If anyone knows someone hiring for process management or software analysts in the Tampa Bay area, I maybe looking next week. Reach out!
What is necessary now is to recognise our own nature instead of going on being confused.
The ever present Buddha nature is like the unhindered sun shining in the sky, but sunshine never reaches inside a cave facing north. This cave is an analogy for misunderstanding, wrong view or partial understanding.

If you go to Chatsworth House in Derbyshire this summer you will probably be in for a surprise . The historic house is hosting an exhibition of outside art in their parkland called Radical Horizons: The Art of Burning Man.
The Burning Man festival is a unique event that usually takes place annually in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada, USA, Chatsworth have worked with the Burning Man team and artists to bring its distinctive culture of possibility and creativity to the Derbyshire landscape. The show comprises eight existing sculptures and four works built on site. These include three new participatory sculptures that will be created in the parkland with the help of local schools and community groups over the course of the year, mirroring the build process at Burning Man that sees teams of volunteers gathering in the desert to create new artworks.
Not all the pieces worked for me but several were splendid . I thought Lodestar made by Randy Polumbo was particularly amusing, I love that curved plane . Apparently when it was in the desert the cage over the tail of the plane was used as a cocktail bar
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.

Red Deer - Cervus elaphus
Double click image....
The red deer (Cervus elaphus) is one of the largest deer species. The red deer inhabits most of Europe, the Caucasus Mountains region, Asia Minor, Iran, parts of western Asia, and central Asia. It also inhabits the Atlas Mountains region between Morocco and Tunisia in northwestern Africa, being the only species of deer to inhabit Africa. Red deer have been introduced to other areas, including Australia, New Zealand, United States, Canada, Peru, Uruguay, Chile and Argentina. In many parts of the world, the meat (venison) from red deer is used as a food source.
The red deer is the fourth-largest deer species behind moose, elk and sambar deer. It is a ruminant, eating its food in two stages and having an even number of toes on each hoof, like camels, goats and cattle. European red deer have a relatively long tail compared to their Asian and North American relatives. Subtle differences in appearance are noted between the various subspecies of red deer, primarily in size and antlers, with the smallest being the Corsican red deer found on the islands of Corsica and Sardinia and the largest being the Caspian red deer (or maral) of Asia Minor and the Caucasus Region to the west of the Caspian Sea. The deer of central and western Europe vary greatly in size, with some of the largest deer found in the Carpathian Mountains in Central Europe.Western European red deer, historically, grew to large size given ample food supply (including people's crops), and descendants of introduced populations living in New Zealand and Argentina have grown quite large in both body and antler size. Large red deer stags, like the Caspian red deer or those of the Carpathian Mountains, may rival the wapiti in size. Female red deer are much smaller than their male counterparts.
The European red deer is found in southwestern Asia (Asia Minor and Caucasus regions), North Africa and Europe. The red deer is the largest non-domesticated land mammal still existing in Ireland. The Barbary stag (which resembles the western European red deer) is the only member of the deer family represented in Africa, with the population centred in the northwestern region of the continent in the Atlas Mountains. As of the mid-1990s, Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria were the only African countries known to have red deer.
In the Netherlands, a large herd (ca. 3000 animals counted in late 2012) lives in the Oostvaarders Plassen, a nature reserve. Ireland has its own unique subspecies. In France the population is thriving, having multiplied fivefold in the last half-century, increasing from 30,000 in 1970 to approximately 160,000 in 2014. The deer has particularly expanded its footprint into forests at higher altitudes than before. In the UK, indigenous populations occur in Scotland, the Lake District, and the South West of England (principally on Exmoor). Not all of these are of entirely pure bloodlines, as some of these populations have been supplemented with deliberate releases of deer from parks, such as Warnham or Woburn Abbey, in an attempt to increase antler sizes and body weights. The University of Edinburgh found that, in Scotland, there has been extensive hybridisation with the closely related sika deer.
Several other populations have originated either with "carted" deer kept for stag hunts being left out at the end of the hunt, escapes from deer farms, or deliberate releases. Carted deer were kept by stag hunts with no wild red deer in the locality and were normally recaptured after the hunt and used again; although the hunts are called "stag hunts", the Norwich Staghounds only hunted hinds (female red deer), and in 1950, at least eight hinds (some of which may have been pregnant) were known to be at large near Kimberley and West Harling; they formed the basis of a new population based in Thetford Forest in Norfolk. Further substantial red deer herds originated from escapes or deliberate releases in the New Forest, the Peak District, Suffolk, Lancashire, Brecon Beacons, and North Yorkshire, as well as many other smaller populations scattered throughout England and Wales, and they are all generally increasing in numbers and range. A census of deer populations in 2007 and again in 2011 coordinated by the British Deer Society records the red deer as having continued to expand their range in England and Wales since 2000, with expansion most notable in the Midlands and East Anglia.
Rock cities (Lessinia landscape) 20231011
The Lessinia landscape observed from the outside has conspicuous surface (epigeal) karst phenomena: dolines, basins, sinkholes, monoliths, rock cities.
The best known surface phenomena are dolines and rock cities: the former are funnel- or bowl-shaped depressions, always related to tunnels, cavities or caves.
In contrast, the monoliths that give rise to rock cities are the result of erosion, mainly of meteoric water on the surface layer of Biancone and subsequent penetration into existing fissures in the Ammonitic Red.
The original existing portion of All Saints dates from the year 1230. Various subsequent additions have been made such as the tower in 1330, the north aisle and vestries in 1937, and a northern extension in 1981.

Wandering this historic home alone ... I can question 'when' ...
Falkirk is a 19th century country estate listed on the National Historic Register. The Queen Anne Victorian, designed by Clinton Day, was built in 1888 by Ella Nichols Park, and purchased by Captain Robert Dollar in 1906. Falkirk is named after Dollar's birthplace in Scotland, and his descendants occupied the house until 1970. The estate was saved from demolition in 1974. The Cultural Center is owned and operated by the City of San Rafael and has served the community for over 40 years.
The Monastery at Lébény was established between 1199 and 1203, by a nobleman, for private worship. The complex was dedicated to the Apostle Saint James the Great. Though the existing charter for approving the donations and construction was signed by Andreas II (1208), one of the walls of the church had “1206” engraved in them, which may indicate that the church was already built at that time. It is also mentioned in the RegestrumVaradiense (an important language memorial), which was made in the late cathedral chapter of the present Oradea (Nagyvárad) in the 13th century. The monastery of Lébény was attacked and burnt down several times; the first by Mongols, then the second by King Ottokar I of Bohemia; and thereafter by the Turks, which was probably in 1529 and definitely in 1683. The monastery was taken back from the Turks by the arch-abbot of Pannonhalma in 1540. He named a new abbot, though the title only existed on paper for a little bit longer than two decades. In 1563 the monastery was burnt down again for the third time and was left devoured. Presently, the only part of the complex that is still standing is the iconic three-nave Romanesque church in the middle of Lébény village. This church is one of the most important Romanesque style buildings of Hungary, which was most probably restored in the 17th century by the Jesuits, and it was the first ever Hungarian monument that was restored in the second half of the 19th century. In addition, the Romanesque church is also operating as a parish of the village.
Frankfurt is one of the few European cities with a large cluster of high rise building in its downtown area; in many other European cities, skyscraper construction was not well received in the past due to the historical value of existing buildings. For this reason, Frankfurt is sometimes referred to as "Mainhattan" (a portmanteau of the local Main river and Manhattan), and Chicago am Main.
