I don't know what is the point anymore as part of the wall is missing. 😅 Well I don't know what is it with me as I always have to put this red torch light in to these fire places...
The centennial flame provided some warmth during our evening visit when the temperature dropped to minus 13C.
Germany, Mainau, … a peaceful "place”, near to the shore & the city of Konstanz is the location of island Mainau in Lake Constance, opposite to the shore of the City of Überlingen. It is maintained as a garden island & a model of excellent environmental practices. The island can be reached via a bridge & has a jetty for ferries.
Dahlia, there are over 40 species of dahlia, with hybrids commonly grown as garden plants. The majority types do not produce fragrant flowers, like most plants that do not attract pollinating insects through scent, they are brightly coloured, displaying most hues, with the exception of blue.
Spaniards reported finding the plants growing in Mexico in 1525, in 1787 the French botanist Nicolas-Joseph Thiéry de Menonville, sent to Mexico to steal the cochineal insect valued for its scarlet dye.
In 1963 the dahlia was declared the national flower of Mexico. The tubers were grown as a food crop by the Aztecs, attempts to introduce the tubers as a food crop in Europe were unsuccessful.
Due to the for Germany unusual advantageous climate on the island at the lake the island is called the "Flowering Island". Famous for its parks & gardens with even full-grown palm trees, cypresses & countless other Mediterranean plants, partly even tropical vegetation can grow on the drop-shaped island.
The Plants & flower-beds with are constantly renewed by the gardeners, not only the over approximately 20,000 dahlia bushes Rhododendrons of 180 different species, Azaleas or the Italian rose garden, strictly geometric, consisting of pergolas, sculptures fountains, over 1200 kinds of roses can be found on the island.
A million daffodils, hyacinth, tulips, 500-year-old wild roses & more than 30,000 other rose bushes, also palm trees & citrus fruits grow here, the palms go into the greenhouse over the winter, with a changing climate soon maybe it will not be necessary anymore.
But that has nothing to do with the island's sometimes claimed tropical climate; the lake does level out temperatures & acts a little as central heating in winter because it has stored summer heat.
But above all, the art of the skilled gardeners & their work on the Mainau making this island so unique.

I woke up about 1 AM on the 21st, for the necessary, and had a glance outside. The aurora was glowing on the horizon, so I decided to pop out for a look. My favourite spot on the Minto channel, a side channel of the Fraser River, was deserted, so I spent some time watching and shooting. This one turned out especially well, imo. Froze my butt and finger off, and crawled back into bed with heating pads at 3 AM.
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured two festive-looking nebulas, situated so as to appear as one. They reside in the Small Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy that is a satellite of our Milky Way galaxy. Intense radiation from the brilliant central stars is heating hydrogen in each of the nebulas, causing them to glow red.
The nebulas, together, are called NGC 248. They were discovered in 1834 by the astronomer Sir John Herschel. NGC 248 is about 60 light-years long and 20 light-years wide. It is among a number of glowing hydrogen nebulas in the dwarf satellite galaxy, which is located approximately 200,000 light-years away in the southern constellation Tucana.
The image is part of a study called Small Magellanic Cloud Investigation of Dust and Gas Evolution (SMIDGE). Astronomers are using Hubble to probe the Milky Way satellite to understand how dust is different in galaxies that have a far lower supply of heavy elements needed to create dust. The Small Magellanic Cloud has between a fifth and a tenth of the amount of heavy elements that the Milky Way does. Because it is so close, astronomers can study its dust in great detail, and learn about what dust was like earlier in the history of the universe. “It is important for understanding the history of our own galaxy, too,” explained the study’s principal investigator, Dr. Karin Sandstrom of the University of California, San Diego. Most of the star formation happened earlier in the universe, at a time where there was a much lower percentage of heavy elements than there is now. “Dust is a really critical part of how a galaxy works, how it forms stars,” said Sandstrom.

The heating plant of Ljubljana Moste, Slovenia, still a great pollution problem of its surroundings.
am assuming that this truck and the beat-up car on the trailer belong to the policeperson who is guiding traffic around a road resurfacing crew who are heating up the macadam, scraping it off, and will eventually replace it with a new surface. that at least explains the orange sign.

Generally, not visible, SAR arc was very visible. SAR is an abbreviation for Stable Auroral Red Arcs. Although SAR Arcs are not the Aurora itself, they form during geomagnetic storms. They occur when solar particles interact with oxygen in the ionosphere, heating the oxygen and generating a stable red glow above our heads, hence the name “Stable Auroral Red.”

Within a week, the summer temperatures have plummeted from 27° to 12°. Time to switch on Minnie's heating pad. Her favourite thing to do with it is to warm her 16-year-old hips.

The laziest entry I've ever done for a contest. The shame is unbearable.
Made in a couple hours as a Bio-cup entry for the eliminatories.

Hi, so yes I am alive. RL has just been a real pain in the butt lately but I'm slowly getting back to normal, it's been alot of prepping for my Mother to move while I stay back, work issues etc you know the drill!
But I am slowly re-pacing myself even if it is slowly.
Future updates about the blog will be coming soon so keep an eye out if you are interested and if you are not...pretty pictures will be popping up!
