The Beemster is the first so-called polder in the Netherlands that was reclaimed from a lake, the water being extracted out of the lake by windmills. The Beemster Polder was dried during the period 1609 through 1612. Because of its historical relevance, and because the original structure of the area is still largely intact, the Beemster polder was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 1999.

An extract from this morning's Journal:
Up at 5 this morning and out in the safari vehicles before dawn. Our guide promised us two male lions; much excitement. As he searched we came upon Kudu, Impala, Springbok, Zebra, Eland, Baboons, Vervet Monkeys, Hartebees and any number of raptors and smaller birds.
Over the radio the other guide said he'd found two lions resting by the road at the top of a rise. By now the sun was just above the horizon and the lions were catching the first of the morning warmth.
We arrived to find two safari vehicles with the lions. We circled around them at a safe distance, the low angle of the sun on their faces was perfect, I couldn’t stop taking photos.
I should have been photographing my grandchildren climbing on the fallen trees but was taken with this small patch of bark detail on one of the trees. The resulting image was dry, dull & flat but returning a couple of days later after rain the colours and detail were really brought to life.
This is the oldest, uninhabited part of Beverston Castle. In fact, I had to take this photo through the bars of an iron gate, so I couldn't get any closer to avoid the dark shadows ...
On Wikipedia, there is some information on Beverston Castle to be found, accompanied by a photo that is almost identical to mine! This is an extract:
"Beverston Castle, also known as Beverstone Castle or Tetbury Castle, was constructed as a medieval stone fortress in the village of Beverston, Gloucestershire, England. The property is a mix of manor house, various small buildings, extensive gardens and the medieval ruins of the fortified building. The castle was founded in 1229 by Maurice de Gaunt, and it saw action in the Civil War.
Much of the castle remained in a state of ruin according to a 2019 report, and had been uninhabitable since the 17th century. Several buildings on the 693-acre property, including five cottages and the 17th century house with seven bedrooms, were in use as residences, however."
A year ago in Potosi, Bolivia...
We are on our way to visit one of the most famous silver mines in South America - disguised as miners...
Potosí lies between 3,976 m and 4,070 m above sea level on the plateau of the Altiplano, in a barren, steppe-like area. The city is one of the highest cities in the world.
The Inca had already had silver mined at Cerro Rico. Founded on April 10, 1545 as a mining settlement, Potosí soon blossomed. Already in 1553 it became the Villa Imperial, the imperial city. It was the main source of Spanish silver with significant coinage. Construction of the Casa Real de la Moneda, the royal coin, began in 1572. The Spanish colonizers extracted huge amounts of precious metals from the mine, which they shipped all over the world.
Vor einem Jahr in Potosi, Bolivien...
Wir sind auf dem Wege zur Besichtigung einer der berühmtesten Silberminen von Südamerika in Potosi - verkleidet als Bergleute...
Potosí liegt zwischen 3.976 m und 4.070 m Seehöhe auf der Hochebene des Altiplano, in einer kargen, steppenhaften Gegend. Die Stadt gehört zu den höchstgelegenen Großstädten der Welt.
Schon die Inka hatten am Cerro Rico Silber fördern lassen. Am 10. April 1545 als Bergbausiedlung gegründet, erreichte Potosí bald eine sagenhafte Blüte. Schon 1553 wurde es deshalb zur Villa Imperial, zur Reichsstadt. Es war die Hauptquelle des spanischen Silbers mit bedeutender Münzprägung. Mit dem Bau der Casa Real de la Moneda, der königlichen Münze, wurde 1572 begonnen. Die spanischen Kolonisatoren holten riesige Edelmetallmengen aus der Mine, die sie in die ganze Welt verschifften.
This is the West Hoe on the Plymouth seafront, where it overlooks Plymouth Sound. The small grey stone port seems ancient, but in fact was only constructed in around 1880. The area was once a quarry from which stone was extracted to help build the centre of Plymouth in Victorian times. To the west is Millbay Harbour, where the cross-Channel ferries are based, and in the distance is Cornwall. The road running along the seafront is known as the Grand Parade. Our of shot to the right is The Hoe - a promenade which features several memorials and Smeaton's Tower - the former Eddystone Lighthouse which was rebuilt here after the rock on which it was built started to crack.

The greater flameback (Chrysocolaptes guttacristatus) also known as greater goldenback, large golden-backed woodpecker is a common, four-toed, large-billed, golden-backed woodpecker found in wet tropical and subtropical forests across South and Southeast Asia.
This is a large woodpecker, at 33 cm in length. It is of typical woodpecker shape, and has an erect crest and a long neck. it always has unmarked golden-yellow to dark brown back and wings. The rump is red and the tail is black. The underparts are white with dark markings (chevrons, stripes, or bands), or light brown. The head is whitish with a black pattern, or it is yellow, brown, or red. The straight-pointed bill is longer than the head, and the legs have four-toed zygodactyl feet (two toes pointing forward, two backward) and are lead-grey in color. The eyes' irises are whitish to yellow. The adult male greater flameback always has a red crown. Females have a crown color varying between subspecies, such as black spotted with white, yellow, or brown with lighter dots. Young birds are like the females, but duller, with brown irises.
This flameback is a species associated with a diversity of rather open forest habitat, such as found in the foothills of the Himalayas; it also inhabits mangrove forest. Like other woodpeckers, the greater flameback uses its bill to dig out food from trees, and its zygodactyl feet and stiff tail to provide support against tree trunks. The long tongue can be darted forward to extract wood-boring arthropod prey; while mainly feeding on small invertebrates, greater flamebacks also drink nectar. They nest in tree holes, laying three or four white eggs.

I find the high moors fascinating places not just for the natural beauty and weird rock formations but also because, many years ago, they were a hive of industry, principally mining or quarrying. This was taken on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, close to the hamlet of St. Breward. As well the moorland scenery it shows a cheesewring which although resembling a man made object is actually a perfectly natural rock formation created by erosion. Close by can be seen the remains of an old mining building which overlooked an open cast mine where, probably, tin or copper would have been extracted. It is likely that the miners walked several miles to and from their homes to this mine in all weathers. I visited on a fine day but it was still a bleak and windy place. Truly, those miners worked between a rock and a hard place.

Definition: a small elite securing and extracting ("raking in") an excessive slice of the economic cake without investing in the common good. In the UK, this has created a high-inequality, high-poverty cycle. This cycle is the responsibility of the British Tory Party and, consequentially, the rake ought to be its visual signature - not the tree.

Vingerhoedskruid ook wel gewoon vingerhoedskruid genoemd, is een tweejarige of meerjarige plant.
Hij wordt ook wel in siertuinen gebruikt en zaait zich gemakkelijk uit.
Vingerhoedskruid wordt 30-200 cm groot en er zijn drie kleuren: donkerrood (hardroze), lichtpaars en wit.
De hommels moeten in de bloemkroon kruipen om bij de nectar te kunnen komen.
De plant bevat de glycosiden: digoxine en digitoxine en is erg giftig.
Digoxine wordt gewonnen uit de bladeren van tweejarige planten en wordt gebruikt bij behandeling van bepaalde hartritmestoornissen.

Foxglove, also known as foxglove, is a biennial or perennial plant.
It is also used in ornamental gardens and spreads easily.
Foxglove grows 30-200 cm and there are three colors: dark red (hard pink), light purple and white.
The bumblebees have to crawl into the corolla to access the nectar.
The plant contains the glycosides: digoxin and digitoxin and is very toxic.
Digoxin is extracted from the leaves of biennial plants and is used to treat certain cardiac arrhythmias.
A male Green Thorntail Hummingbird extracts nectar. This wide ranging hummingbird is small and will frequent feeders. There are many of these shimmering green hummingbirds at Rancho Naturalista, Costa Rica.
This Australian parrot is a Rainbow Lorikeet (Trichoglossus moluccanus) and it is using its bristle brush tongue to extract sweet sticky nectar and pollen from within the flowers of a 'Corymbia' Summer Red (formerly Eucalyptus).

An ancient paleokarst that was uncovered during many years of mining activity to extract iron since Roman times
‘Puddling’ is one of the type of descriptors that uses the name of a typical place where an activity occurs to describe the activity itself. In fact, ‘puddling’ is the way butterflies (or at least certain species of butterfly) extract minerals needed for many things, especially reproduction. As many of us know, sugar water is a great way to get by, but more complex nutrients are needed if we want to do anything more complex.
The nutrients extracted from whatever the butterfly finds as its source (manure, dead animal carcasses, puddles) are passed on in the reproductive process to help build healthy young. In this case, a White Admiral (Limenitis arthemis - the subspecies in my area is arthemis again, hence the double naming) uses minerals along the side of a country road. It had rained, but in some cases the butterfly can spit up to help facilitate the extraction.
This was taken on a very remote country road during a walk to look at wildflowers and insects, camera in hand. I did have to lie down on the shoulder to get this perspective, but I was not alone and had a person watching for cars (there were none) and it was along a straight patch with high visibility.
I can never resist FebRovery, and wasn’t going to let my tiny rover from the Astro Warden be my only contribution! This mining vehicle brought back lots of memories of playing with Power Miners and was a ton of fun to build. I managed to utilize some interesting yellow elements I’ve had around for a while along with the unusual sand blue technic column.
The saw arm can rotate 360° and extend or retract for mining or transit mode. The windscreen also opens, and the whole roof can be removed for easier access to the cabin.
Full credit for the wheel design goes to Frost.

I think this place really deserves a monument status despite Devil's Postpile National Monument has stolen all the fame to the west of Mammoth Lakes. They were all resulted from the same volcanic eruption over hundred thousands years ago. Here 'a an extract from Atlas Obsura describing the process of creating such interesting column formation: "As the colossal torrents of lava washed over the built up ash it baked the ash to a layer of stone in an instant. Now after millennia of erosion from wind and water the bottom layer and the top layer of cooled lava can be clearly seen, taking the form of rocky waves bisected by a dividing line. In certain sections along the tuff, the stone has turned into bulbous columns known as degassing pipes creating a veritable forest of oddly shaped stone"
"When I'm ready to make a photograph, I think I quite obviously see in my minds eye something that is not literally there in the true meaning of the word. I'm interested in something which is built up from within, rather than just extracted from without"
Ansel Adams
After a week when temperatures across the UK have hovered above a sweltering 30C/85F, I found myself longing for the chill and fog of early spring, and revisited a shot which I captured at the centre of Richmond Park in early April. On many mornings I'd hoped for calm conditions that would bring heavier fog, and before this particular sunrise the low wind speed and near-freezing temperature near the Pen Ponds created fog so dense that, for a couple of hours, visibility dropped to about 20 metres. As the sun finally crept above the woodland and created various shades of orange and pink on the horizon, I came across the bare branches of an oak tree, and next to it the remains of a broken tree trunk, part of which now lay on the ground. Something about this scene captivated me, so I stopped to capture it.
The image is a blend of seven bracketed exposures, and proved to be a fun editing project because of the contrast between intense foggy light around the sun and deep shadows covering the trees and foreground. I began by blending my exposures using luminosity masks, bringing up visibility of the tree trunks while toning down brightness around the sun. I then refined my own masks in order to select and intensify the fog in the background. This was achieved by duplicating the blue channel in the Channels Panel and using a Levels adjustment to increase the channel's contrast between Darks and Midtones, effectively removing the trees and grass from the selection. After extracting the highlights around the sun using a selection from my Brights luminosity masks, I was left with a selection of just the foggy background, where I blended in my brightest exposures using a combination of linear and reflective gradient masks.
Colour-grading the image was very straightforward, as the mixture of early-morning blues across the landscape and intense warm tones in the sky only needed a little emphasis. Using Colour Balance adjustments with Apply Image as a layer mask, I gave the midtones and shadows a colder finish, and targeted the brighter area around the sun to increase the reds and magentas in the highlights. Setting two low-opacity Colour Lookup adjustments to Soft Light, I then used the Foggy Night preset for the foreground and the Soft Warming preset for the sky.
Using Nik's Colour Efex Pro, I brought out a little of the tree trunks' texture using the Detail Extractor filter, and at the same time softened the detail in the sky using the Sunlight filter, which helped to bring out the hazy glow across the scene when I'd captured it. While I thought that viewers' eyes would gravitate to the sun emerging between the tree's branches, the tree and the trunks among the fog were what drew me to the scene, and I felt it was important to try to emphasise their weathered texture and, ultimately, their "character". There was something hopeful about the colour spreading across the horizon as the sun rose, but at the same time something poignant about a scene that seemed to tell a story of nature's brutality and illustrate how certain things, once broken, can't easily be healed or repaired.

El puente Nuevo es el monumento más emblemático de la ciudad malagueña de Ronda y fue construido entre 1759 y 1793. Une las zonas histórica y moderna de la ciudad salvando el Tajo de Ronda, una garganta de más de 100 metros de profundidad excavada por el río Guadalevín.
De sillería de piedra, el puente presenta un arco central de medio punto apoyado en otro más pequeño por el que transcurre el río. En la parte superior, se encuentran las dependencias del puente que, en otros tiempos, fueron utilizadas como prisión, a cuyos lados se abren otros dos arcos, también de medio punto, que sostienen la estructura que soporta la calle.
Su construcción comenzó en 1759 para sustituir al anterior puente que se había derrumbado en 1740. En su realización intervinieron diversos maestros, aunque el más destacado fue José Martín de Aldehuela, que finalizó la obra.
Se considera una obra maestra de ingeniería. Mide 98 de altura y 70 m de longitud.
Pese a sus dimensiones, el puente parece un elemento natural de la roca. El color se diluye con el de las paredes del acantilado. El material utilizado se extrajo del fondo de la garganta del río. Así se consiguió un efecto mímesis.

The New Bridge is the most emblematic monument of the Malaga city of Ronda and was built between 1759 and 1793. It links the historic and modern areas of the city, saving the Tajo de Ronda, a gorge of more than 100 meters deep excavated by the river Guadalevín.
From stone ashlar, the bridge has a central half-point arch supported by a smaller one through which the river flows. In the upper part, there are the dependences of the bridge that, in other times, were used as prison, to the sides of which open two arches, also of half point, that support the structure that supports the street.
Its construction began in 1759 to replace the previous bridge that had collapsed in 1740. In its realization they intervened diverse masters, although the most outstanding one was Jose Martín de Aldehuela, that finalized the work.
It is considered an engineering masterpiece. It is 98 meters high and 70 m long. In spite of its dimensions, the bridge seems a natural element of the rock. The color is diluted with that of the cliff walls. The material used was extracted from the bottom of the river gorge. Thus a mimesis effect was achieved.

A very tasty vegetable but also the leaf, stem, and root are used to make “extracts” which contain a high concentration of certain chemicals found in the plant. These extracts are used as medicine.
Artichoke is thought to help reduce the symptoms of heartburn and alcohol hangover. It's also used to treat high cholesterol, kidney problems, anaemia, fluid retention (oedema), arthritis, bladder infections, and liver problems.
Some people use artichoke for treating snakebites, preventing gallstones, lowering blood pressure, lowering blood sugar; or as a tonic. So good in fact, that every gardener should probably grow some !!
