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.

The Western Wall, also known as the "Wailing Wall" or the "Kotel," is one of the most significant religious and historical sites in Jerusalem, Israel. It holds deep spiritual and emotional importance for Jews worldwide, and it has also become a symbol of the complex and often contentious nature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The Western Wall is a remnant of the ancient retaining wall that once surrounded the Second Temple, which was destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE. After the temple's destruction, the Western Wall became the closest accessible site for Jewish prayer and pilgrimage. For centuries, Jews from around the world have come to this sacred site to pray, lament the destruction of the temple, and express their connection to Jewish heritage.
The name "Wailing Wall" originates from the 19th and early 20th centuries when Jews would gather at the site to mourn the destruction of the temple and express their sorrow through prayers and tears. The term "Kotel" means "wall" in Hebrew and has become a popular and endearing name for the site.
Over time, the Western Wall has evolved into a focal point of religious and nationalist tensions between Israelis and Palestinians. The site is located in the Old City of Jerusalem, which is also part of the contested area between Israel and Palestine. Its significance to both Jewish and Muslim communities has led to disputes and occasional clashes.
The Western Wall plaza is divided into two sections: one for men and the other for women, following Orthodox Jewish tradition. The prayers and rituals conducted here are a mix of individual devotion, communal worship, and celebrations during religious holidays.
In addition to its religious importance, the Western Wall draws millions of tourists and visitors from various backgrounds each year, offering them a glimpse into the rich history and cultural diversity of Jerusalem.
Despite the ongoing complexities surrounding the Western Wall and its geopolitical context, it remains an essential and cherished place for Jewish people, symbolizing resilience, faith, and the connection to their shared heritage.
The name "vaseux" is French, meaning muddy or murky, which is descriptive of the lake's silty water. The lake was likely named by French Canadian fur traders.
Vaseaux Lake features a variety of wetland and foreshore habitats that support large populations of migratory bird species along the inland portion of the Pacific Flyway. Bird species of note include trumpeter swan, great blue heron, western screech-owl, yellow-breasted chat, and the red-listed Lewis's woodpecker. It is for these reasons that the Canadian Wildlife Service designated the lake and its foreshore a Migratory Bird Sanctuary in 1923.
The semi-arid grasslands and forests surrounding the lake are also of ecological importance, and are protected within several different national and provincial protected areas. In 1956, the provincial government established Vaseux Lake Provincial Park at the northeastern end of the lake to providing space for recreation while also ensuring the ecological integrity of the lake's foreshore in this area is preserved.
In 1979, the Canadian Wildlife Service established Vaseux-Bighorn National Wildlife Area to protect winter rangeland for California Bighorn Sheep.[6] The provincial government added on to this nature preserve by establishing Vaseux Protected Area in 2001. (Wikipedia).

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:

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.

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.

Small inner courtyard of the Stock Exchange Building in Riga,
now the "Art Museum Riga Bourse"
"The Riga Stock Exchange building is an architectural monument of national importance. It was built between 1852 and 1855 in the style of a Venetian renaissance palazzo symbolising wealth and plenitude. The design was by the St. Petersburg architect of German origin Harald Julius Bosse (1812-1894). Standing out in the magnificent interior with its lavish use of gilding and artificial marble are the main hall on the ground floor (now the museum’s Great Exhibition Hall, the galleries on the third and fourth floors (now the Western and Oriental Galleries) as well as the ceremonial halls on the fourth floor (now the Painting Galleries). For the first time in history, all theses rooms are open to the public."

Las Fallas de Valencia (Falles en valenciano) son unas fiestas que van del 14 (plantà infantil) al 19 (cremà) de marzo con una tradición arraigada en la ciudad española de Valencia. Oficialmente empiezan el último domingo de febrero con el acto de la crida (en valenciano; 'pregón o llamada', en español).

Estas fiestas también son llamadas fiestas josefinas o fiestas de San José, ya que se celebran en honor de san José, patrón de los carpinteros, que era un gremio muy extendido en la ciudad cuando empezaron a celebrarse a finales del siglo xix, y que conservó hasta la actualidad, dada la importancia de la industria del mueble en la región.
The Fallas of Valencia (Falles in Valencian) are festivals that go from the 14th (children's plant) to the 19th (cremà) of March with a tradition rooted in the Spanish city of Valencia. They officially begin on the last Sunday of February with the act of the crida (in Valencian; 'pregón or call', in Spanish).
Currently, this holiday has become a very important tourist attraction, since in addition to being classified as a festival of International Tourist Interest, in November 2016 UNESCO inscribed them on its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. These festivals are also called Josefin festivals or feasts of San José, since they are celebrated in honor of St. Joseph, patron saint of carpenters, who was a very widespread guild in the city when they began to be held at the end of the nineteenth century, and which has preserved until today, given the importance of the furniture industry in the region.
The Castle was rebuild after it was decided to abandon plans to built a fortress ( a former Roman Castrum ). It was ,at the time ,one the biggest defensive fortification ever built on Portuguese territory ,indicating not only the size of the project but also the importance of the Order of the Temple .(Founded in Jerusalem in 1118 by Hugues de Payens ,a cousin of St. Bernard of Clairvaux ,with Godefroi de St. Omer .)
Il Castello fu ricostruito dopo che fu deciso di abbandonare il piano per costruire la Rocca ( a forma di Castro Romano ).
Esso fu nello stesso tempo la più grande fortificazione difensiva in territorio Portoghese , ma aumentò l'importanza dell'Ordine del Tempio ( Fondato a Gerusalemmme nel 1118 da Ugo di Payens ,un cugino di S. Bernardo di Clairvaux con Goffredo di S. Omer )
Fortress Battice was of strategic importance in the 2nd World War and consisted of miles long underground corridors.
At the end of this corridor was the corpse room in which the victims were laid out.
Carcassonne is a fortified French town in the Aude department, of which it is the prefecture, in the Region of Occitanie.
Occupied since the Neolithic period, Carcassonne is located in the Aude plain between two major thoroughfares linking the Atlantic to the Mediterranean sea and the Massif Central to the Pyrénées. Its strategic importance was quickly recognized by the Romans who occupied its hilltop until the demise of the Western Roman Empire and was later taken over in the fifth century by the Visigoths who founded the city. Also thriving as a trading post due to its location, it saw many rulers who successively built up its fortifications, until its military significance was greatly reduced by the Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659.
The city is famous for the Cité de Carcassonne, a medieval fortress restored by the theorist and architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc in 1853 and added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 1997.
"This situation may be said, at the least, to be uncomfortable. Historically, from St Paul on, what has mattered has been the religious substructure. ... The twentieth century has seen the religious substructure sinking into the ground." Prof Michael Goulder, 'The Importance of Being Religious', unpublished paper, November 1997.

According to traditional sources of Saint Nino, who converted Georgia to Christianity, he stopped to pray on the highest hill Mtskheta and put the cross on him. In the 6th century, it was built in the place of two churches belonging to the monastery. The second - larger church was built between 586 - 605.
This church served as a model for the construction of other temples. The importance of the monastery grew with the passage of time and attracts many pilgrims. Also today, Great Church is used during major events. There are also fragments of the cross of St. Nino.
He is now included on the list of one hundred most endangered destruction of monuments of the world and UNESCO World Heritage List in 1994 as "Historical Monuments of Mtskheta".

Według tradycyjnych źródeł Święta Nino, która nawróciła Gruzję na chrześcijaństwo, zatrzymała się na modlitwę na najwyższym wzniesieniu Mcchety i postawiła na nim krzyż. W VI wieku wybudowano w tym miejscu dwa kościoły, wchodzące w skład monastyru. Drugi - większy kościół został wybudowany w latach 586 - 605.
Kościół ten służył jako wzór przy budowie innych świątyń. Znaczenie monastyru rosło wraz z upływem czasu i przyciąga wielu pielgrzymów. Także dzisiaj Wielki Kościół jest wykorzystywany podczas ważniejszych uroczystości. Zachowały się też fragmenty krzyża św. Nino.
Jest on obecnie wpisany na listę stu najbardziej zagrożonych zniszczeniem zabytków świata oraz listę UNESCO od 1994r.
The Conde B. McCullough Memorial Bridge, is a cantilever bridge that spans Coos Bay on U.S. Route 101 near North Bend, Oregon. The bridge replaced ferries that had formerly crossed the bay. It is outstanding for its attention to form and detail, and has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places in recognition of its design and cultural and economic importance.

It's not simple to say
That most days I don't recognize me
That these shoes and this apron
That place and its patrons
Have taken more than I gave them
It's not easy to know
I'm not anything like I used be, although it's true
I was never attention's sweet center
I still remember that girl
She's imperfect, but she tries
She is good, but she lies
She is hard on herself
She is broken and won't ask for help
She is messy, but she's kind
She is lonely most of the time
She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie
She is gone, but she used to be mine
It's not what I asked for
Sometimes life just slips in through a back door
And carves out a person and makes you believe it's all true
And now I've got you
And you're not what I asked for
If I'm honest, I know I would give it all back
For a chance to start over and rewrite an ending or two
For the girl that I knew
Who'll be reckless, just enough
Who'll get hurt, but who learns how to toughen up
When she's bruised and gets used by a man who can't love
And then she'll get stuck
And be scared of the life that's inside her
Growing stronger each day 'til it finally reminds her
To fight just a little, to bring back the fire in her eyes
That's been gone, but used to be mine
Used to be mine
She is messy, but she's kind
She is lonely most of the time
She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie
She is gone, but she used to be mine...

We need a global approach to this from all sides. We need to educate people, we need the scientists to create new technologies, we need the engineers to create the networks, we need every human being to be aware of how precious water is and save it.

La Journée mondiale des animaux a lieu chaque année le 4 octobre pour attirer l'attention des gouvernements mais aussi des citoyens sur l'importance du respect de la vie animale. Qu'il s'agisse des animaux de compagnie, des animaux sauvages ou encore des animaux d'élevage, les animaux méritent d'être mieux traités.
Protéger les animaux sauvages, c'est par exemple respecter leurs lieux de vie naturels. Respecter les animaux domestiques, c'est leur assurer un cadre de vie affectueux et s'engager à ne pas les abandonner.
Enfin, améliorer les conditions de vie et d'abattage des animaux d'élevage est un défi majeur à relever à l'heure actuelle.
Si la date du 4 octobre a été choisie pour célébrer les animaux, ce n'est pas un hasard. En effet le 4 octobre c'est la fête de Saint François d'Assise (1182-1226), qui a manifesté tout au long de sa vie un grand amour pour les animaux.
Il affirmait que chaque créature vivante de la terre, qu'il s'agisse d'un insecte, d'un oiseau ou d'un animal de compagnie, méritait le respect. C'est pourquoi Saint François d'Assise est considéré comme un grand défenseur de la cause animale et a été institué Saint Patron des écologistes par le pape Jean Paul II.

World Animal Day takes place on October 4 every year to draw the attention of governments and citizens to the importance of respecting animal life. Whether it's pets, wild animals or even farm animals, animals deserve better treatment.
Protecting wild animals, for example, means respecting their natural places of life. Respecting domestic animals means providing them with a loving living environment and making a commitment not to abandon them.
Finally, improving the living and slaughtering conditions of farm animals is a major challenge to be taken up at the present time.
If the date of October 4 was chosen to celebrate the animals, it is no coincidence. Indeed, October 4 is the feast of Saint Francis of Assisi (1182-1226), who throughout his life manifested a great love for animals.
He claimed that every living creature on earth, whether it was an insect, a bird or a pet, deserved respect. This is why Saint Francis of Assisi is considered a great defender of the animal cause and was instituted Patron Saint of environmentalists by Pope John Paul II.

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.

SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS ALONE!
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)

... I am letting the horror in. Just for a short while and always able to stop the invasion. I don't want to be overwhelmed and lose control. But, on the other hand, I can't afford not to feel the pain inside and outside of myself. I wouldn't become and stay a "Mensch" if my character armour was impenetrable. I am already built like a tank. I am fighting to remain vulnerable. Fighting against this temptation of locking myself up. Listening to the pain. Leica M8, Voigtlander CS 2.2/50 at F8.

Camellia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Theaceae. Camellias are evergreen shrubs or small trees up to 20 m tall. They are found in eastern and southern Asia, from the Himalayas east to Japan and Indonesia. There are about 300 species and around 3,000 hybrids. Their flowers are usually large and conspicuous, one to 12 cm in diameter, with five to nine petals in naturally occurring species of camellias. The colors of the flowers vary from white through pink colors to red. Of economic importance in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent, leaves of C. sinensis are processed to create the popular beverage tea. The ornamental C. japonica, C. sasanqua and their hybrids are the source of hundreds of garden cultivars. C. oleifera produces tea seed oil, used in cooking and cosmetics. The various species of camellia plants are generally well-adapted to acid soils rich in humus, and most species do not grow well on chalky soil or other calcium-rich soils. Most species of camellias also require a large amount of water, either from natural rainfall or from irrigation, and the plants will not tolerate droughts. However, some of the more unusual camellias – typically species from karst soils in Vietnam – can grow without too much water. 34666
Kojori Fortress was built atop Azeuli Mountain, at a height of 1,250 metres above sea level. According to historians, the fortress was constructed sometime during the 11th century. Built in multiple layers atop the cliffs, this fortress once protected the caravan road connecting Tbilisi to Armenia, and was of immense strategic importance during the Middle Ages.
Korjoli Fortress was built of crushed stone and brick, and was plastered with thick mortar. Today, only the ruins of the walls and two of its towers remain, but these ruins speak to numerous battles and sieges over the centuries. The ruins afford visitors a beautiful view of Kartli’s wide-open spaces.
The last battle to take place at Kojori Fortress took place in 1921, when the 11th Army of the Russian Red Army faced Georgian cadets. A memorial in honour of these fallen cadets stands there today.
In addition to its historical value, Kojori is also a spectacular place for relaxing in nature, having a picnic, and doing a little light hiking in the nearby forest. This region, once the summer residence of kings, is today open to the public to enjoy.

Camber Sands
Camber is a small resort in East Sussex and is not only famous for its sand dunes but its connection to the Pop and Film Industry.
Close to the River Rother the dunes stretch for 3 miles (just over 4.5km) and are unique to East Sussex. Part of the dunes are classified a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and the residue are a Site of Nature Conservation Importance.
They were fortified during WWII because of their resemblance to both Desert and Normandy and intense training went on there. There is a ship which lies of the coast called the ‘Avon’ which went down in 1852 and the wreck can be seen at low tide.
Some of the films that were shot here include: The Longest Day; The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner; The Theory of Everything and for those who enjoy a more cultural frame of mind then go no further than ‘Follow That Camel’. What a treat.
Pop Artists include: Suede; Nick Heyward; Fatboy Slim; Paul McCartney and Wings and Squeeze, quite a line up. A terrific place for a beach holiday as there are lots of other things to do with kites, such as surfing; landboarding; buggying and other more physical exercise. Me I have a deckchair and a camera what more is needed. Oh yes, a picnic.
A sunny day in the poppy and cornflower field is drawing to a close, and the buzzing of the insects is slowly fading.
One last time, the beautiful blossoms stretch upwards to shine brightly before it's time to retire.
Moments of peace and relaxation are of great importance not only for flowers and insects, but for all living things, including us.
And so, on this Monday, I wish you not only a sunny week, but also ample opportunity for rest and relaxation.
Ein sonniger Tag auf dem Mohn- und Kornblumenfeld neigt sich dem Ende zu und das summen die Insekten wird langsam leiser.
Noch ein letzten Mal strecken sich die wunderschönen Blüten in die Höhe um noch einmal hell zu leuchten bevor es Zeit ist sich zur Ruhe zu begeben.
Momente der Ruhe und Entspannung sind nicht nur für Blumen und Insekten von großer Bedeutung sondern für alle Lebewesen, was uns mit einschließt.
Und so wünsche ich Euch am heutigen Mo(h)ntag nicht nur eine sonnige Woche, sondern auch ausreichend Gelegenheit für Ruhe und Erholung.
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. As many as 20,000 gulls spend the winter at the lake after migrating from their summer range as far north as Siberia.
I am sorry I am 2 days late, but feel that it is better to post late than never.
