The castle has only been partially rebuilt since its demolition in the 17th and 18th centuries.
The earliest castle structure was built before 1214 and later expanded into two castles circa 1294; however, in 1537, a lightning bolt destroyed the upper castle. The present structures had been expanded by 1650, before damage by later wars and fires. In 1764, another lightning bolt caused a fire which destroyed some rebuilt sections.
The title has been inspired by the U.K comedy duo, Little and Large from the 1970s and 80s. They were hugely popular around that time and as the name suggests comprised one who was a lot bigger and fatter, Eddie Large and the other who was smaller and thinner, Syd Little!
Snowy Owl has a Conservation Status under the IUCN of Vulnerable www.iucnredlist.org/species/22689055/205475036
This first year female Snowy Owl was unconcerned at my presence, though I wasn’t standing out in the open nor was I using using a short lens to get this photo. Rather, I was inside my vehicle and deploying an 800 mm lens, so this bird was not as close as it might seem [the image is also cropped]. Although it was buzzed by a Common Raven at one point, this majestic bird definitely exuded an aura of not being too worried about any threats.
Keighley train station has a pleasingly vintage feel to it, the right sort of place to take a steam train from.
For a photo story of my visit:
Current
May. Rain has been pounding the Adirondacks for several days, and supersaturated the mountains. Seasonal streams have awakened, runoff and percolation feed the flow, all that water finding it’s lowest level and charging the whole Schroon ecosystem. Some miles below the dam at the lake, the river picks up speed on gradients through boulder fields, now inundated and drowned under the flow. They are immovable, their resistance invisible but for the standing waves throughout the volume. A light mist hovers above the raging current. Standing this close, I can feel the vibration of it’s power, urging my blood pressure higher to match the atmosphere I’m in. Here is spring as allegory to life, the relentless wildness of youth, bursting to race ahead towards that age when you don’t. What I wouldn’t give to truly feel that voltage again, and know the trajectory of where I was headed, instead of treading, spent, looking back at where I’ve come. I stay awhile on the edge of the surge, enjoying the power of the season.
Monument Valley has been featured in many forms of media since the 1930s. Director John Ford used the location for a number of his best-known films, and thus, in the words of critic Keith Phipps, "its 13 square kilometers have defined what decades of moviegoers think of when they imagine the American West." Between 1945 and 1967, the southern extent of the Monument Upwarp was mined for uranium, which occurs in scattered areas of the Shinarump Conglomerate; vanadium and copper are associated with uranium in some deposits.
Kirby has been a foster with us for two and a half months, as of today he's a permanent member of the household. He spends most mornings lounging on the carpet, while preparing for his afternoon nap on the sofa.
Nuuk has a maritime-influenced tundra climate (Köppen ET) with cold, long, snowy winters and cool, short summers. Although the winters in Nuuk are relatively cold, they are milder compared to other tundra climates, such as in Alaska in the United States or parts of Eastern Siberia. On 21 December, the shortest day and longest night of the year, the sun rises at 10:30 am and sets at 2:20 pm. By contrast, on the longest day and shortest night of the year, 21 June, the sun rises at 2:54 am and does not set until 12:04 am, giving a quasi-Midnight Sun
Cleo has been very lazy during the holidays but now it's time to resume our normal life. According to Cleo there is nothing "normal" about a fitness training, though, and I seriously doubt that physical activity has played any major role in her New Year's resolutions, apart - maybe - from the resolution to avoid it whenever she can. You can't let a human have the last say after all.
Nature has arranged it so well that there are in these regions both the sea and beautiful mountains with incredible healing properties. So you will travel for a week between the sea and the mountains and as if you were in the office of the best cosmetologists. During the whole excursion you can see many interesting places and caves in those places

Looking south towards Long Beach NSW from the point at Maloney's Beach. The rocks really light up with an orange glow when the morning sun hits them.

A friend has the hobby of searching at the margins of the water for little treasures such as this tiny glass vase, which she gave to me.
I note from a label underneath the base that it was originally used for diffuser oil.
It's just the right size to hold a few small flowers from our garden all year round in memory of our daughter, Clare.

The sun 🌞 can be seen setting behind Kelston Roundhill with the city of Bath below having baked in several days of extreme sun 🔆

Looking towards Inverlochlarig & the River Larig from the lower slopes of Beinn Tulaichean. A beautiful morning to be up the hills.
The first blooms of spring. We had snow through this weekend. Surprise! It warmed up a little and we had our first bloom! There is hope spring is coming after all!
It has been a long, baking hot summer in the south this year. Atlanta’s average temp has been 90 F to 96 F, not including the heat index from the unbelievable humidity. So many days feeling like over 100 F. I am so ready and longing for the cool temps of Fall and the beautiful colors. Here the setting sun shines brightly across Lake Winnipesaukee as a rainbow of color reflects along the shoreline on a beautiful Fall day in New Hampshire.

Grey SquirrelI(Sciurus Carolinensis) Chopped down an old Willow and it makes a fine feeding table.
Lysandra coridon has a wingspan of 30–36 millimetres (1.2–1.4 in).[4] These small butterflies present a sexual dimorphism. This species' physical appearance can be described as males having pale silvery-blue upperside of the wings with a submarginal line of grey spots on the hindwings and a thin brown and white chequered fringe. Females have dark brown upperside of wings, with marginal orange spots and also with chequered fringes.[5] The underside of the wings show a light ochre colouration, several dark spots surrounded by white, a submarginal line of black marks, a series of marginal orange spots on the hindwings and a blue dusting near the body.
As with many blue butterflies, separation from similar species in the field is on the underside markings. Aberrations are common.
This is the second shot with that chalet in Foppolo. Over it, there is Mount Valgussera, a ski station.
From this side of mount has recently fallen an avalanche.

Scatto effettuato a mano libera, durante un pensoso e nebbioso mattino di gennaio.. :D
