Interior of the Salvatorkirche (Church of the Savior), a Greek Orthodox church with a slightly convoluted history:
Built in late Gothic style in 1493 as a cemetery church for the relocated cemetery of the Frauenkirche.
With the secularization in 1803 it should be destroyed, but it was used as important storage, so destruction was avoided.
In 1806 it was gifted to the Lutheran community in Munich, but due to continued usage as depot the Lutheran community could not use it. With the decision to build the Lutheran St. Matthäus church in 1825 the Lutherans returned St. Salvator to the crown.
In 1828 King Ludwig I of Bavaria gave it to the Greek Orthodox community for use, but the church building remained property of the state.
After this it remained Greek Orthodox and was renovated multiple times, most recently some interior refurbishing happened in 2022.

You do not do any favors on loving someone
Neither me, neither me
Who invented love was not me
It was not me, was not me
Nor me or anyone else
Love happens in life
You were off guard and by chance I was too
And as chances are important, darling
Of our lives, life also made a chance

When you think of the Netherlands, it is easy to picture never-ending fields of brightly coloured flowers. Many of the country’s most famous artists have portrayed the flower fields of the Netherlands in their work, and these fields are just as spectacular when they are seen in real life. However, these flower fields are more than just aesthetically beautiful: they are also economically important to the country. A significant proportion of the country’s agricultural exports are derived from the sale of freshly cut flowers, bulbs and mature plants, and the Netherlands contributions to the flower industry are so significant that they make up around two-thirds of the world’s total flora sales and completely dominate the European marketplace. Thanks to highly efficient supply chains, it is actually possible to buy flowers in New York which were freshly cut in the Netherlands that morning!

WONDERFUL FACTS - The Wild Water Buffalo (Bubalus arnee) - also called Asian Buffalo, Asiatic Buffalo and Wild Asian Buffalo.
Is a large bovine native to the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia.
It has been listed as Endangered in the IUCN Red List since 1986, as the remaining population totals less than 4,000.
A population decline of at least 50% over the last three generations (24–30 years) is projected to continue.
The global population has been estimated at 3,400 individuals, of which 3,100 (91%) live in India, mostly in Assam.
The wild water buffalo is the probable ancestor of the domestic water buffalo

Hello my amazing friends !
Today Major Tom is waiting for a very, very important call. He is about to reconnect with his past and some very good childhood friends. He doesn’t want to miss this call so that is why he has his phone near while doing his astronaut’s stuff on the moon. There is also a very red and large phone booth, just few steps away… Of course, he has to use the old ladder to get to it, but even with his astronaut suit he is very, very fast. He completed the astronauts training after all, and there was a special section « ladder climbing for dummies and astronauts » so I’m sure he will be able to answer the phone in time !
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! See you later !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!!

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.

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.

Small dark dragonfly with a pale creamy white face.
Male: black with red-orange markings.
Female: black with yellow markings.
It requires relatively deep, oligotrophic, acidic bog pools with considerable rafts of Sphagnum at the edges in which to breed.
Larvae also occur among waterlogged Sphagnum in depressions devoid of standing water.
The larvae live within the matrix of submerged and floating sphagnum and are confined to waters without fish. Away from its aquatic habitat it also requires scrub or woodland, which provides important roosting and feeding sites.
Le Château Ollwiller est l’un des deux seuls châteaux en Alsace à produire du vin sous la dénomination « château ».
Il possède le « Clos de la Tourelle », une parcelle agrémentée d’une ancienne tourelle, entièrement plantée avec le cépage pinot blanc.
Le château est à l’origine du nom du Grand Cru Ollwiller.
Son vignoble compte une parcelle de riesling dans le Grand Cru Ollwiller plantée en 1925, bénéficiant de la mention "Vieilles Vigne".
La construction du premier Château Ollwiller en alsace , remonte au XIIIe siècle par les comtes de Waldner sur un fief agricole et viticole appartenant aux comtes de Ferrette et dont le souverain était l’évêque de Strasbourg puis de l’abbaye cistercienne de Lieu-Croissant (Doubs).
Au XVIIIe, le Comte Dagobert de Waldner de Freundstein, lieutenant général du roi, construisit un superbe château où séjournèrent de nombreux personnages importants de l’époque dont Louis XV.
Le château et le domaine sont acquis en 1825 par Jacques-Gabriel Gros, industriel textile, qui fît du domaine agricole une ferme modèle et un vignoble réputé.
Détruit lors de la première guerre mondiale pendant la bataille du Vieil Armand, le château fut reconstruit en 1925. Le domaine viticole et le château appartiennent toujours à la famille Gros.

Château Ollwiller is one of the only two châteaux in Alsace to produce wine under the name "château".
He owns the "Clos de la Tourelle", a plot decorated with an old turret, entirely planted with the Pinot Blanc grape.
The castle is the origin of the name of the Grand Cru Ollwiller.
Its vineyard has a plot of Riesling in the Grand Cru Ollwiller planted in 1925, with the "Vieilles Vigne" label.
The construction of the first Château Ollwiller in Alsace dates back to the 13th century by the counts of Waldner on an agricultural and wine-growing fiefdom belonging to the counts of Ferrette and whose sovereign was the bishop of Strasbourg and then of the Cistercian abbey of Lieu-Croissant ( Doubs).
In the 18th century, Count Dagobert de Waldner de Freundstein, lieutenant general of the king, built a superb castle where many important figures of the time stayed, including Louis XV.
The château and the estate were acquired in 1825 by Jacques-Gabriel Gros, a textile industrialist, who turned the agricultural estate into a model farm and a renowned vineyard.
Destroyed during the First World War during the Battle of Vieil Armand, the castle was rebuilt in 1925. The wine estate and the castle still belong to the Gros family.

It is important to go outside every other day and take pictures for 30 minutes. This way you practice your photography and improve your skills. I have a schedule for my photography subject. I takes portraits when I am indoor. I take flower pictures during the day, but I need a reflector to prevent harsh light. For landscape I need cloudy day mostly. I also like taking pictures before 10 am and after 5 pm to prevent the harsh light. I took this picture to show the details in macro.

Bunschoten-Spakenburg is a medieval town first named in 1294 and received it's city rights by the Bishop of Utrecht in 1383. Because of these rights the citizens were allowed to build an earthen wall around the town. The fortifications didn't last long however because a part of the town was destroyed in 1427 in a war between two rival Bishops and the wall was never rebuilt. It was originally a very important fishing villiage since it was part of a wide, open valley of the river Eem. Their main catch was paling, which is still a favorite of the Dutch today.
A century after Bunschoten was first mentioned, the settlement of Spakenburg developed. Originally the two towns were separated by a river inlet but much has happened in their history to change the lay of the land. Because of the location on the coast of what was then the Zuiderzee (a shallow bay on the Northsea), many floods inundated the area which caused the towns to become isolated.
So dikes were built to hold back the sea and stay the floods, this also caused new land to be created behind the dikes, this land (polder in Dutch) was often below sealevel and needed drainage and pumps to remain dry even if the dikes held, a big disadvantage of the dikes was that it limited access to the sea.
In the early 1900's the prosperous fishing harbor boasted over 200 ships but the closing of the "Zuiderzee" after the floods 1916 and further reclaiming of land after that period brought an end to that. No commercial fishing is now done from this area but heritage wooden vessels are still being built and repaired here.
Old Wood Door and Hasp must not be to important since there is no lock on this door, found in North Carolina.
Fishing hooks are small but very important for anglers.
I chatted with a fisherman for a while. He hadn't caught anything that day. He then tried it with fresh liver... obviously there are no piranhas in the river... otherwise the liver would have been gone quickly and probably the fishing rod too.😄
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Angelhaken sind klein aber sehr wichtig für Angler. Ich habe mich eine Weile mit einem Angler unterhalten. Der hatte an dem Tag noch nichts gefangen. Er versuchte es dann mit frischer Leber, offensichtlich sind in dem Fluss keine Piranhas... sonst wäre die Leber schnell weg gewesen und die Angel wahrscheinlich auch. 😄

Bird photography sounds peaceful. You picture me quietly communing with nature, sipping coffee while majestic creatures flutter by, posing politely like they’re in a Disney movie. That’s a lie. The truth involves hauling lawn chairs, tripods, and a camera bag that weighs more than a third grader across the desert before sunrise—all to sit motionless next to a glorified livestock trough filled with water I wouldn’t let my enemies drink.
This cattle tank, which I have gentrified into a “desert oasis” (by tossing in a stick), is now a fine-dining establishment for birds. The stick is important. I found it on the ground, which makes it natural, and I chose one with bark and lichen because birds don’t like muddy feet—and I like a pretty perch.
Birds don’t just fly in, though. First, they land about twenty-five feet away in what I call the staging area, where they scope things out and decide if it’s safe to drink. Just as I know birds come here for water, they know hawks come here for birds. If it seems risky, they vanish into the brush to post angry tweets about predator privilege.
This time, an American Robin decided to play along. He glided down to the branch, dipped his beak into the water, then raised his head to swallow—because robins, like most birds, can’t gulp. They rely on gravity to get the water down. No swallow muscles. No peristalsis. Just tip and pray.
As he tilted his head back, water spilled from his beak. I fired off a burst of photos. In this frame, he’s in perfect profile, water spilling from his bill, with a few droplets stopped in mid-air and a few reached the surface, sending delicate ripples across the pond.
His reflection was beautiful and haunting, like a bird pondering the mysteries of hydration—or maybe just wondering why some guy shoved a branch in his drinking fountain.
In the desert, water is liquid gold. To birds, cattle tanks are survival. To me, they’re proof that lugging heavy gear into the wilderness to photograph a robin mid-sip is a perfectly reasonable way to spend retirement.
Especially if you're trying to avoid housework.
He lifts his head to the sky—a gravity feed,
’Cause evolution said, “Nah—gulping’s not a need.
Part 3 of 3 of my Ancient Egypt series.
The title is known to be given during the Old Kingdom of Egypt, and was at that point very powerful and prestigious. The mummies of the priestesses testify that they were decorated with a religious tattoo, covering the stomach around the area of the uterus. After the Middle Kingdom of Egypt, the title was often irregularly awarded the women of the royal family, typically princesses.
The rise, fall & extinction of the priestesses of Hathor are seen in ancient Egyptian culture. The women who wanted to become socially powerful usually took refuge in religion & took the charge of priesthood.
Ancient Egyptian society took women's empowerment much more loosely than ancient Greece & ancient Rome. There women were given the right to their own property. However, after becoming a priestess, a woman is seen not only as an important figure in ancient Egyptian society, but also a living symbol of divinity.
The priestesses of Hathor were called hm ntr hthr & they were one of the most respected people in Egypt. But After the Middle Kingdom of Egypt, the title was often irregularly awarded only to the women of the royal family, typically princesses. This includes the daughter of Ramesses II. At one time their names were completely erased from history.
Egyptologysts have shown that in early days only women of aristocratic lineage could be appointed to the priesthood of Hathor. They were called Badak-Purohit or God's Consort (Hmt nTr). They performed dances and songs during the sacred rites. Because of their menstruation and ability to give child-birth, they were considered unholy, which is why they could not perform sacred duties like dressing up the sacred image of deity.

Site of 2 Forts that were important to early American history :
Fort Bowyer was constructed by the U.S. Army during 1813 to guard against possible British attack. This small log and sand fortification was attack twice by the British during the War of 1812. The first attack made by four British warships and a combine force of British Royal Marines and Creek Indians came on September 15, 1814. The ensuing battle was total American victory. One warship, the H.M.S. Hermes was sunk and the marines and Creek Indians were forced to withdraw. During a second battle which took place during early February 1815, a combine British land and naval force forced the vastly outnumbered American troops to surrender the fort. By the terms of the treaty that ended the War of 1812, the British had to return Fort Bowyer to the United States. Fort Bowyer defended Mobile Point until the early 1820's.
Fort Morgan was seized by troops of the State of Alabama on January 4, 1861. Turned over to the Confederate Army in March of 1861, the fort served as the first line of defense for the city of Mobile and provided protection for blockade runners entering Mobile Bay. On the morning of August 5, 1864, Union naval forces fought their way past the Fort Morgan and defeated a Confederate naval squadron which included the C.S.S. Tennessee, one of the most powerful ironclads constructed in the South during the war. Union land forces commenced siege operations against Fort Morgan on August 9th. On the morning of August 22nd, Union artillery began one of the most intense bombardments of a single fort recorded during the Civil War. The Confederate's losses were 17 men killed. The Confederate garrison's 581 men were forced to surrender the next morning.
Dragonflies are important in wetland ecosystems, vulnerable to wetland drainage, excess nutrients, pesticides and shoreline "cleaning." They eat a broad range of insects from mosquitoes to beetles to other dragonflies. Over 60 dragonflies are found in Central Florida. Some species do not venture far from the water where they breed, while others, such as the Wandering Glider, migrate long distances.
The four-spotted pennant dragonfly is found throughout the southern tier of the United States as far west as Arizona. It's also been spotted in New Jersey. In Florida, its found in most peninsular counties, including all of South Florida, and in a few panhandle counties as far west as Leon and Wakulla. Like other dragonflies, it likes to be around lakes and ponds, since that's where it spends the first part of its life, and that's where it reproduces. The scientific name of the four-spotted pennant is brachymesia gravida. Mature individuals have a dark, slender body, a large black spot between the nodus and stigma of each wing and white stigmas (the only dragonfly with white stigmas). Juveniles are mostly orange-brown with white spots on the side of the face.
This Four-spotted Pennant is from my archives! (Hope I am right about the ID Mary)

This is the far south-east of Cornwall, where the beautiful rolling countryside has several river valleys running through it. This is the most important river of them all - the Tamar - which for much of its length acts as the border between Devon and Cornwall. The Cornish town of Saltash is just out of shot on the left. About a mile north of here the Tamar will have been joined by the Tavy, which has its source on Dartmoor. A couple of hundred yards behind the camera are the two famous Tamar bridges which connect Cornwall and Devon. The road bridge was opened in 1962 and replaced the ferry that used to be here, while Brunel's famous railway bridge dates from 1859. That enabled the Great Western Railway to run from London to Penzance in the far south-west of Cornwall.

From the opulence of Eliseevsky grocery store, Alla (our guide) took us to Arbat Street, a pedestrian street in the historic centre of Moscow. The Arbat has existed since the 15th century, making it one of the oldest surviving streets of the Russian capital. Originally the street formed part of an important trade-route and was home to craftsmen.
In the 18th century, the Russian nobility came to regard the Arbat as the most prestigious living area in Moscow. Almost completely destroyed in the great fire of 1812, the street was rebuilt In the 19th and early 20th centuries. In the Soviet period, it housed many high-ranking government officials.
Now it has been gentrified and is considered a desirable place to live. Because of the many historic buildings, and artists who live and work here, the Arbat has become a trendy part of the city.
We ended our visit at a restaurant where we had a meal of dishes from southern Russia. There was music and entertainment, and the most divine food, sweets and Turkish coffee.
The current Romanesque and Gothic form of the cathedral, seen today in the Stephansplatz, was largely initiated by Duke Rudolf IV (1339–1365) and stands on the ruins of two earlier churches, the first a parish church consecrated in 1147. The most important religious building in Vienna, St. Stephen's Cathedral, has witnessed many important events in Habsburg and Austrian history and has become one of the city's most recognizable symbols with its multi-colored tile roof. It has 256 stairs from the top to the bottom

Important to know: Iguanas are capable of severely injuring people, other animals and themselves when their body language messages are not recognized. Most iguanas clearly sign that trouble is ahead. They nod their head and wave their dewlap side to side.
The dewlap is a fold of loose skin hanging from the neck or throat of an animal, like a cow. Iguanas use their dewlap to communicate. First, an extended dewlap can simply be a greeting. An extended dewlap is often used to say hello to another creature during mating and most generally as a territorial sign. Second, it can be a form of protection. A threatened iguana may extend its dewlap to intimidate a predator into thinking it is much larger than it is. Third, an extended dewlap may be a sign that the iguana is trying to adjust its temperature. An extended dewlap on an iguana basking in the sun is quite normal. It may be catching sun to warm up or catching a breeze to cool off. So it's important to consider "the big picture" when reading an Iguana's body language.

Maple, (Acer), any of a large genus (about 200 species) of shrubs or trees in the family Sapindaceae, widely distributed in the North Temperate Zone but concentrated in China. Maples constitute one of the most important groups of ornamentals for planting in lawns, along streets, and in parks. They offer a great variety of form, size, and foliage; many display striking autumn colour. Several yield maple syrup, and some provide valuable, dense hard wood for furniture and other uses. All maples bear pairs of winged seeds, called samaras or keys. The leaves are arranged oppositely on twigs. Many maples have lobed leaves, but a few have leaves separated into leaflets.
HAPPY YEAR 2022 ! - With so little to go until a year ends, which was terrible for many of us. It is appropriate to thank the people who were aware of how I was, and even protected me and kept me in SL. To all the new and old friends, forever darling. I also want to thank my sponsors, who were so important and trusted me, giving me the most precious of them, their creations. Some even gave me the honor of being Blogger of the Month. I wish you all a new year loaded with much health, tranquility, hope, justice and much love to pour into this world, which is sorely needed.
