The importance of pasture to horses.
Horses are grazing animals and most horses meet their nutritional needs from cool-season grass pasture or hay.
Forages are an important part of the equine diet and more than 80% of horses have some pasture access. There are many benefits for horses grazing pasture compared to eating hay in confinement, including the reduction of unwanted behaviors such as bedding and manure eating, cribbing and chewing wood. (this info was published in an article from the University of Minnesota )
the importance of a single detail in comparison with the rest. As a narrative device, the ability to vary the distance between the camera and the object may be a small thing indeed, but it makes for a notable difference between cinema and oral or written narrative, in which the distance between language and image is always the same.

Besides its importance as a fragrance, lavender is considered calming to those with nervous tension. Lavender oil is sometimes rubbed into the temples for head pain, added to bath water for an anxiety-reducing bath, or put on a cotton ball and placed inside a pillowcase to treat insomnia. Lavender oil also works as an antiseptic making it a natural treatment option for skin disorders (sourced from HowStuffWorks).

The New Synagogue on Oranienburger Strasse in the district of Berlin-Mitte is a building of outstanding importance for the history of the Jews in Berlin and an important architectural monument. It was inaugurated in 1866. The remaining part of the structure is a listed building.
It was once the largest and most important synagogue in Germany and today is not only a place where Jewish life is practiced, but also a popular tourist attraction.
Who likes to read more about the architecture pleas check:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Synagogue_(Berlin)
Today's Sunday is national mourning day, in Germany a public holiday to commemorate those who fell in the Second World War. therefore with these pictures I include the memory of the fate of the Jewish fellow citizens who were inflicted so much suffering in this period and who have an infinite number of deaths to mourn.
Deutsch:
Die Neue Synagoge an der Oranienburger Straße in der Spandauer Vorstadt im Ortsteil Mitte von Berlin ist ein Gebäude von herausragender Bedeutung für die Geschichte der Juden in Berlin und ein wichtiges Baudenkmal. Sie wurde 1866 eingeweiht. Der noch vorhandene Teil des Bauwerks steht unter Denkmalschutz.
Sie war einst die größte und bedeutendste Synagoge Deutschlands und heute nicht nur ein Ort, an dem das jüdische Leben praktiziert wird, sondern auch ein viel besuchter Touristenmagnet.

Volkstrauertag
Der heutige Sonntag ist Volkstrauertag, in Deutschland ein Feiertag zum Gedenken an die Gefallenen des Zweiten Weltkriegs. deshalb schließe ich mit diesen Bildern das das Andenken an das Schicksal der jüdischen Mitbürger denen in dieser Zeitperiode so viel Leid zugefügt wurde und unendlich viel Tote zu beklagen haben mit ein.

The importance of courtyard where the families and friends gather is a great space and opportunity for social interactions, a place where you learn to share and care for your neighbours.
Another shot of the clouds resting on the woods. Though a very simple landscape, these are some of my favourite scenes to find in a landscape. The simplicity of the scene pulls in my eye to the details of the image. In place of a main point of interest, every needle of each pine gains an importance of its own.
In this image, I have tried to capture the momentary clearing in the cloud to layer up the hills, and show some depth in the clouds.
I hope you enjoy this image, and as I am uploading this on Christmas Eve, I will wish you all a very merry Christmas.

This church is Reykjavík’s oldest. It holds great historical importance as both the center of Iceland’s Lutheran faith and the birthplace of independence.
This is an unassuming city church completed in 1796. It stands beside Parliament House in the city’s main square. It was at the National Cathedral that the Lutheran church officially endorsed Icelandic sovereignty and independence in 1845, although the modern Republic of Iceland was not founded until 1944.
The National Cathedral looks out upon Austurvöllur, Reykjavík’s oldest square.
On Monte Calderico they settled in the 6th century BC. C. the first townsfolk, given its strategic importance for transhumance.
With the Punic wars takes place the conquest and establishment of a Roman city (the old Consaburum named by Plinio), at the foot of the Cerro Calderico, to be abandoned the town located on it. Consuegra reached a great development, being the main city of Carpetania, a key point on the roads to the north and south. Bridges, roads, a dam, an aqueduct and a circus were built. Consuegra is cited by classical authors such as Livy or Ptolemy. Through it the Roman road called "Via Laminium".
The majority of the Hispanic and Gothic population remained with the arrival of the Arabs. The castle dates back to this time. In the year 1085 Toledo falls before Alfonso VI. It seems that Consuegra had passed into the hands of Castile in 1083. In the year 1097 the son of El Cid Campeador, Diego, died in the battle of Consuegra. In this battle, the armies of Castile, commanded by King Alfonso VI, were defeated by the Almoravids commanded by Yusuf ibn Tasufin, changing hands again. It was later reconquered by Christians.
In 1150 Alfonso VII handed over his castle to his vassal Rodrigo Rodríguez. In 1183 the population, together with its alfoz, was donated by Alfonso VIII, with the approval of Pope Lucius III to the Sovereign Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem (Order of Malta), which appointed Consuegra head of the Grand Priory of Castile and León, in La Mancha, taking the castle as its seat, and granting it the Fuero de Consuegra, a copy of the one in Cuenca. He emphasized in this period under his tutelage the defense after the battle of Alarcos in 1195. With the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa, in 1212, the area finally stabilized.
Sobre el monte Calderico se asentaron en el siglo VI a. C. los primeros pueblos carpetanos, dada su importancia estratégica para la transhumancia.
Con las guerras púnicas se produce la conquista y asentamiento de una ciudad romana (la antigua Consaburum nombrada por Plinio), a los pies del Cerro Calderico, al ser abandonado el poblado situado sobre éste. Consuegra alcanzó un gran desarrollo, siendo la principal ciudad de la Carpetania, un punto clave en los caminos hacia el norte y el sur. Se construyeron puentes, vías, una presa, un acueducto y un circo. Consuegra es citada por autores clásicos como Tito Livio o Ptolomeo. Por ella discurría la calzada romana llamada "Vía Laminium".
La mayoría de la población hispana y goda permaneció con la llegada de los árabes. El castillo se remonta a esta época. En el año 1085 cae Toledo ante Alfonso VI. Parece que Consuegra había pasado a manos de Castilla en 1083. En el año 1097 moría en la batalla de Consuegra el hijo de El Cid Campeador, Diego. En esta batalla, los ejércitos de Castilla mandados por el rey Alfonso VI, fueron vencidos por los almorávides al mando de Yusuf ibn Tasufin, cambiando de nuevo de manos. Fue reconquistada posteriormente por los cristianos.
En 1150 Alfonso VII entregó a su vasallo Rodrigo Rodríguez el castillo. En 1183 la población, junto a su alfoz, fue donada por Alfonso VIII, con la aprobación del papa Lucio III a la Soberana Orden del Hospital de San Juan de Jerusalén (Orden de Malta), que nombró a Consuegra cabeza del Gran Priorato de Castilla y León, en La Mancha, tomando el castillo como sede, y otorgándola el Fuero de Consuegra, copia del de Cuenca. Destacó en esta época bajo su tutela la defensa tras la batalla de Alarcos en 1195. Con la Batalla de las Navas de Tolosa, en 1212, se estabilizó finalmente la zona.
The Castle of Lindoso is a medieval castle in the civil parish of Lindoso, municipality of Ponte da Barca, in the Portuguese district of Viana do Castelo. It is classified as a National Monument. It is believed the fortress was started under the 13th century reign of Afonso III of Portugal and was of low importance. During the time of the Restoration of Portuguese independence, the castle and its location gained importance in view of its border location. For this reason, the location was used as a support base in the context of Portuguese incursions in Galicia by the military forces of Portugal in September 1641. As the war progressed, the castle received modernization and restoration works, which were completed around 1666 (date inscribed on the lintel of a door). The castle saw a defensive state in the Napoleonic Wars but never saw action. It has never been used since.
When we understand the importance of living together without judgement we will have arrived at a significantly better place than we are today. It is easy to be judgmental, but what purpose does it have? If we live together in peace and allow one another to live the way we wish as long as it does not physically harm anyone, that is what we should be aiming for. Compassion, love, tolerance, understanding, acceptance, respect, equality, diversity and decency will take you a long way. Steer your children away from hate, greed, selfishness and power, this type of behavior only causes pain and sadness to so many, so let's embrace our differences. This should happen globally with all nationalities being involved. So let's get started now!
With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️

Mothers teach us a lot, don't they? They teach us tolerance, they teach us patience along with acceptance (at least hopefully most do), they guide us through difficult times and teach us coping skills, how to become independent with the tools we need in order to live on our own.
They teach us compassion for others and how to show kindness to all living beings whether feathered, 4 legged and furry or the 2 legged kind that can sometimes be difficult.
I could go on and on with this list but it would take too long. This is a tribute to my mother who passed away on this day in 1994. She was way too young and I really would love it if she was here still today. But we will meet again someday and it will be a wonderful reunion that I have faith will happen.
Love you mom.
In this photo, mom is in the middle and her two cubs were doing their best to engage her in some rough and tumble play in the middle of the river. She was engaging them a bit but I loved this photo, even though her back is to the camera because you can see how each cub has a paw on mom's back. They really wanted her to play
Cherish your mom if you still have her.

The importance of wearing the right coat!
This fourth instar larva (ca. 8-10 mm) perfectly matches the colour of its food plant (Common Sorrel). The tiny white warts that cover its body (visible if you view large), which only appear at the 4th instar stage, match the spots on the underside of the leaf. Presumably these add to its ability to evade any potential predator looking for a quick snack! (0606).

Built in 1108-1113, St. Michael's Cathedral was of particular importance for the people of Kiev, because it was dedicated to the Archangel Michael, the heavenly patron of Kyiv.
St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery is a functioning monastery in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. The monastery is located on the right bank of the Dnieper River on the edge of a bluff northeast of the Saint Sophia Cathedral. The site is located in the historic administrative Uppertown and overlooks the city's historical commercial and merchant quarter, the Podil neighbourhood.
Originally built in the Middle Ages by the Kievan Rus' ruler Sviatopolk II Iziaslavych, the monastery comprises the Cathedral itself, the Refectory of St. John the Divine, built in 1713, the Economic Gates, constructed in 1760 and the monastery's bell tower, which was added c.1716–1719. The exterior of the structure was rebuilt in the Ukrainian Baroque style in the 18th century while the interior remained in its original Byzantine style. The original cathedral was demolished by the Soviet authorities in the 1930s, but was reconstructed and opened in 1999 following Ukrainian independence in 1991.

Inle Lake lies at an elevation of 884 m (2,900 ft.) 425 km (264 mi.) north of Yangon in Shan State, Myanmar. Covering an area of some 116 sq. km (44.8 sq. mi.), its depth ranges from 1.5 m (4.9 ft.) during the dry season (November to April) to 3.7 m (12 ft.) during the rainy season (May to October). The lake was included in the UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves in 2015. In 2018, it was designated a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance.
I'm usually surrounded by people, it's wonderful, but I also enjoy being alone. For me, being alone means having my own time, which I can use unhurriedly and do the things I love. Photography is one of those things.
We had come to Finnish Lapland after Norway and it was the second night when the sun went down after long nightless night period. I stand on the slopes of the Pallas fells and enjoy the play of colors. By the way, the Pallas fells have the cleanest air in the world, according to research. Maybe that's why I want to come to these fells every year and hope that they keep me young when I get to breathe their clean air and climb their slopes.

Today is World Bee Day ☀️🌸🐝 The importance of bees as pollinators for biodiversity and food security is fundamental to humanity. The United Nations General Assembly has proclaimed May 20 as World Bee Day. In doing so, the global community is also highlighting the recognition of the decline in the world's bee population and the urgent need to protect bees.
The western honey bee or European honey bee (Apis mellifera) is the most common of the 7–12 species of honey bees worldwide. The genus name Apis is Latin for "bee", and mellifera is the Latin for "honey-bearing", referring to the species' production of honey.

“The great work of sunrise….sense of importance, the urgency of seeing, fully aware, experiencing what is here: not what is given by men, by society, but what is given by God and hidden by (even monastic) society. Clear realization that I must begin with these first elements. That it is absurd to inquire about my function in the world, or whether I have one, as long as I am not first of all alive and awake. And if that, and no more, is my job (for it is certainly every man’s job), then I am grateful for it. The vanity of all fake missions, when no one is sent. All the universal outcry of people who have not been told to cry out, but who are driven to this noise by their fear, their lack of what is right in front of their noses.”
- Thomas Merton (May 31, 1961) from A Year with Thomas Merton
I didn’t know the importance of this tower as we cruised past it on the Danube. I DID already know that not everything along the river was beautiful….“The Vukovar water tower is a water tower in the Croatian city of Vukovar. It is one of the most famous symbols of Vukovar and the suffering of the city in the Battle of Vukovar and the Croatian War of Independence, when the water tower and the city itself were largely destroyed by Yugoslav forces. Until the war, the top of the tower was home to a restaurant with a view over Vukovar, Danube and surrounding vineyards.
During the Battle of Vukovar, the water tower was one of the most frequent targets of artillery. It was hit more than 600 times during the siege.
Today, it has been converted into a museum with a restaurant. Traces of the war are still evident. Since 10 March 2021 it has been a Tower Member of the World Federation of Great Towers.” One more touching story to add:
“The flag at the Vukovar Water Tower was the most frequent target of the aggressors during the siege of the city, but it proudly waved every morning thanks to Croatian defenders Ivica Ivanika and Hrvoje Džalta. Under the cover of night, they raised the flag again, giving the people of Vukovar hope and a sign that the defense of the city has not yet given way.”

Each and every person throughout the world has to understand that if we unite and live in harmony we all win!! However, if we continue to fight wars and use violence we ALL suffer. We are all human beings made of flesh, blood, with eyes, a nose, mouth, hair, limbs, and similar bodies different only in colour and shape, but our hearts and brains are all the same, and we need to learn to use them to our mutual benefit, by tolerating and understanding one another, sharing together, caring about one another and working together in unity!

Even before COVID-19 companies have been taking time away from families! Are we not aware of the importance of the family base which exudes love, security, basic education, the time needed to listen, discuss and help? Money is not everything, it is a necessity but not God! Our children are losing a great deal in today's world, we have to come up with better solutions. Everyone from top to bottom should be involved in the successful work of a firm, all working equally, not just the chosen few who have been hired to protect those on top we have to pay attention to all workers whose family is suffering from lack of attention. It is time to put all of our families in front let's all work together to make it happen!

The robin is one of the few birds in the UK that sing all year round. This is due to the importance of holding winter territories.
The spring song can start as early as mid-December, reaching full force in spring. Its purpose is two-fold: to defend a territory and to attract a mate. Therefore, spring song is far more powerful in males.
Robins are adapted to life in poor light and are often active in half-light when few other birds are about. They tend to be among the earliest birds to start the dawn chorus and one of the last to stop in the evening

The Intha people are the principal ethnic group at Inle Lake. Intha fishermen stand on the stern of their boats and row using their foot giving them a high vantage point to search for fish. Some use a conical trap as seen here to make a catch, while others cast nets. The rooster tails from two speedboats are seen on the lake beyond at right.
Life and death are of supreme importance. Time swiftly passes by and opportunity is lost. Each of us should strive to awaken. Awaken! Take heed, do not squander your life.”

OKUNOIN is the largest cemetery in the country. Located on Mount Koya (高野山 Koya-san) in Wakayama Prefecture (和歌山県), that cemetery does not just contain an estimated 200,000 graves, but a site which is sacred to the Shingon School of Buddhism, being where the mausoleum of the sect’s founder, Kukai or Kobo-Daishi, is located and where he is said to lie in eternal meditation.
The cemetery, together with the mausoleum at the end of a 2 kilometre walk through the cemetery is in fact a pilgrimage site for Shingon Buddhism, one of the mainstream schools of Buddhism in Japan

Santa Maria da Feira is located nearby Porto, capital of the North of Portugal. This region was where Portugal was founded in the 12th century and the old towns of Santa Maria da Feira and Porto are beautiful examples of Medieval architecture. The Santa Maria da Feira Castle dates back to the 11th century and is the prominent landmark of this small city. The Castle of Santa Maria da Feira is one of Portugal”s most remarkable monuments as it reflects the diversity of defensive measures employed between the 11th and 16th centuries. In addition to its military importance, one should also acknowledge its political and cultural significance, as it proved crucial in the victory at the Battle of São Mamede in 1128.
Santa Maria da Feira castle is located just south of Porto - 33km. It’s on a hilltop looking down on the city, and is a grand example of the defense monuments built in the Middle Ages. The Santa Maria da Feira Castle dates back to the 11th century and is the prominent landmark of this small city. A really beautiful castle with great militar defenses. An example of portuguese architecture though the times. Photo of the subterranean staircase with embrasures in the Feira Castle.
De stad Santa Maria da Feira in Noord-Portugal heeft als herkenningspunt het kasteel, gebouwd in de 15e eeuw. Vraag je een kindje een tekening van een kasteel te maken, dan zal het kasteel van Santa Maria da Feira er vast op lijken. Dit is een kasteel zoals een kasteel eruit hoort te zien. Groot en indrukwekkend, met vier hoge torens en een dikke muur. Het ligt prachtig tussen eeuwenoude bomen en heeft een enorme binnenplaats. Het is historisch van enorm grote betekenis geweest en werd al in 1881 uitgeroepen tot nationaal monument. Een kasteel met toegang tot de hoogste torentjes. Leuk om een keer gezien te hebben. Je voelt je even alsof je op de set van een game of thrones aflevering bevindt. Leuke tussenstop als je onderweg van of naar Porto bent. Elk jaar in de maand augustus, wordt Santa Maria da Feira opnieuw een middeleeuwse stad, gevuld met ridders in harnas, zwaaiende met lange zwaarden om deel te nemen aan steekspelen. Het kasteel en de stad staan dan helemaal in het teken van de middeleeuwen. In het centrum van een streek, die in de 11e en 12e eeuw bekend stond als de "Terras de Santa Maria" het land van de heilige Maria, en die de verbinding vormt tussen het noorden en Coimbra, dankt deze plaats zijn naam aan een markt die hier in die tijd plaatsvond.

This work is dedicated to women and their uphill battles of juggling work and family life. I address the importance of accepting motherhood for our children, hoping that our society will change and allow women more time with their children after birth. Starting with breastfeeding, which is on a 3-hour basis, and creates a special lifetime bond between mother and child. Promoting a strong educational and loving environment for children to grow in. Mothers are the family base, very much in tune with their children, and are always working for the best for their children. This takes time, and the time should be available, especially if we want peace, diversity, and acceptance in our world.
Mothers are often the family base, tuned in, and working to achieve the best for their children. This endeavor demands time which is too often is in short supply due to the uphill battle of juggling work and family life.
My late husband’s deep love and respect for his mother grew into love, respect, belief in, and support, for myself and our four daughters. His belief in us empowered our lives as he valued our dreams and endeavors. I wish that all men and partners had this positive and supportive attitude, as it makes life easier for the whole family.
A mother’s role is important in their children's lives. In order to bring up healthy and well-balanced children, sufficient time is required to be given to the children, time should be made available at birth and through an extended time. Child development psychologists state that the first 3-5 years of a child's life are the most important. Sadly, many employers do not see things that way.
In order to provide mothers with time to nurture their family, with the understanding that it is in the best interest of young children, the government needs to change the concept of Stay-At-Home-Mothers, making it acceptable for mothers to look after their children full-time with the help of family benefits and tax credits.
Thoughtful employers can make a difference in the possibilities for mothers. Flexible work schedules, providing more time for maternity leave is an example seen throughout Europe. Employers could make a leave of absence possible, providing a young mother with time for her children. Women should without exception be paid equally and provided with the same benefits as men who are doing the same work. If women have been invaluable workers, why treat them with anything other than respect and understanding?
Something is very wrong here, and this needs to change. Often the $ £ is more important than human life today. If we all work together, helping one another, we can get closer to equality. I know that total equality does not work, but equality within reason, most certainly does. Providing a strong educational and loving environment for children to grow up in takes tremendous effort and time. If we value peace, diversity and acceptance, we should work together to provide this time.
I often choose to use bright and strong colours for my work to make my message stronger and to elaborate on my concern for what is happening in today’s world. I always try to give a positive message, believing that I have a better chance of a positive reaction.

Anyone who is familiar with the 1984 film 'This is Spinal Tap' will understand this reference. Although initially used by Nigel Tufnel, the lead guitarist of the heavy metal band Spinal Tap, arguing the importance of making an amplifier louder, this phrase has now entered general usage. Of course, if you are not aware of this film, this image will make absolutely no sense...
