Thanks everyone for comments and faves on my last up-load. I'm pleased that you liked it so much but as many of you already know I'm not so interested in explore and making the front page. Your sincere comments mean so much more to me!

Have a wonderful start of the week!

Der Hühnermarkt ist ein Platz in der Altstadt von Frankfurt am Main am Markt zwischen Kaiserdom und Römerberg. Der Hühnermarkt wurde durch die Luftangriffe auf Frankfurt am Main im Zweiten Weltkrieg und den Abriss der letzten stehengebliebenen, ausgebrannten Gebäude in der direkten Nachkriegszeit zerstört. Zwischen 1974 und 2012 war der Platz mit dem Technischen Rathaus vollständig überbaut. Im Rahmen des Dom-Römer-Projekts entstand der Hühnermarkt nach dem Abriss des Technischen Rathauses mit seinem historischen Grundriss und Rekonstruktionen von bedeutsamen Altstadthäusern von 2014 bis 2018 neu.

Der Hühnermarkt öffnet sich nach Süden zum Alten Markt, der als eine der Hauptverkehrsadern der Frankfurter Altstadt vom Kaiserdom aus zum Römer führt. Er wird heute auch als Krönungsweg bezeichnet, den die römisch-Deutschen Kaiser nach ihrer Krönung im Dom durchschritten. Nördlich schließt sich an den Hühnermarkt die Neugasse an und westlich von der Nordseite des Platzes die Gasse Hinter dem Lämmchen. Alle Häuser am Hühnermarkt tragen die Adresse Markt, bis auf das nordwestliche Eckhaus, das schon zur Gasse Hinter dem Lämmchen gehört.

Der Stoltze-Brunnen ist ein Denkmal im Stil der Neorenaissance. Er wurde nach Entwurf von Friedrich Schierholz zu Ehren des Dichters und Schriftstellers Friedrich Stoltze (1816–1891) geschaffen und 1892 auf dem Frankfurter Hühnermarkt in direkter Nähe zu Stoltzes Geburtshaus Zum Rebstock aufgestellt. Die feierliche Einweihung erfolgte am 2. November 1895. Der bisher auf dem Hühnermarkt stehende Freiheitsbrunnen wurde an das Roseneck am Weckmarkt versetzt.

Der Stoltze-Brunnen zeigt einen stufigen Aufbau mit Wasserbecken, Brunnenstock aus Rotem Mainsandstein mit einem Relief der Francofurtia (Kopie), darüber Bronzebüste des Dichters. Das Kapitell der Säule zeigt Figuren aus Stoltzes Werken, darunter der David mit der Kapp,[1] der Kranke Mann[2] und der Rote Schornsteinfeger.[3] Auf der Säule eingemeißelt ist der Sinnspruch

„Der lebte nicht vergebens

Auch ihm sei Dank und Sang

Der um den Ernst des Lebens

Den Menschen Rosen schlang“

Nach den Luftangriffen auf Frankfurt am Main im Jahr 1944 wurde der Brunnen vom zerstörten Hühnermarkt entfernt. Von 1981 bis 2016 hatte er seinen Standort auf dem Friedrich-Stoltze-Platz hinter der Katharinenkirche

Die Neue Frankfurter Altstadt (auch bekannt als Dom-Römer-Viertel bzw. -Quartier) ist das Zentrum der Altstadt von Frankfurt am Main, das von 2012 bis 2018 im Rahmen eines städtebaulichen Großvorhabens rekonstruiert wurde. Unter dem Namen Dom-Römer-Projekt wurde ein rund 7.000 Quadratmeter großes Grundstück zwischen Römerberg im Westen und dem Domplatz im Osten, begrenzt durch die Braubachstraße im Norden und die Schirn Kunsthalle im Süden, neu gestaltet und bebaut. Der Alte Markt verbindet als sogenannter Krönungsweg die beiden für die Krönung der römisch-deutschen Könige und Kaiser bedeutenden Orte. Das Gebiet bildet den Kern der Altstadt, die bis zur Zerstörung bei den Luftangriffen 1944 mit ihren rund 1250 größtenteils aus dem Mittelalter und der Renaissance stammenden Fachwerkhäusern als eine der größten und bedeutendsten Fachwerkstädte galt. Von Anfang der 1970er-Jahre bis 2010 war das Grundstück vollständig mit dem Technischen Rathaus und dem U-Bahnhof Dom/Römer bebaut.

Im Zuge des Dom-Römer-Projekts wurden die Plätze und Straßenzüge Alter Markt, Hühnermarkt, Hinter dem Lämmchen und Neugasse mit ihren historischen Grundstücken und Innenhöfen, darunter dem Hof Rebstock am Markt und dem Goldenen Lämmchen, weitgehend wiederhergestellt. Insgesamt entstanden 35 Neubauten, darunter 15 als schöpferische Nachbauten bezeichnete Rekonstruktionen von historischen Altstadthäusern. Als wertvollste Rekonstruktion und Prunkstück des Areals gilt das Haus zur Goldenen Waage. Für alle Neubauten galt eine 2010 erlassene Gestaltungssatzung, die unter anderem ausschließlich steile Satteldächer zuließ und die Verwendung bestimmter Baumaterialien vorschrieb, die für Frankfurt regionaltypisch waren und sind.

Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde die mittelalterliche Altstadt von Frankfurt am Main, bis dahin eine der besterhaltenen Mitteleuropas, durch Bombenangriffe nahezu komplett zerstört. Nur wenige Gebäude mit historischer Bausubstanz blieben erhalten, in der Nachkriegszeit wurden zudem weitere beschädigte Gebäude überwiegend zugunsten „autogerechter“ Verkehrsplanungen abgerissen. Sehr vereinzelt kam es zur äußerlichen Rekonstruktion von Bauwerken, der überwiegende Teil der einstigen Altstadt wurde unter weitgehender Aufgabe des historischen Straßennetzes im Stil der 1950er-Jahre neu bebaut.

Nur der Bereich zwischen Römerberg und Dom blieb nach der Enttrümmerung Brachland, über dessen Bebauung lange Zeit gestritten wurde. Währenddessen konnten Archäologen ab 1953 auf dem Areal unter den hochmittelalterlichen Schichten die Überreste einer römischen Niederlassung, aber auch jüngere Spuren, vor allem aus karolingischer Zeit freilegen. Damit galt eine jahrhundertelange Suche nach dem Ursprung der Stadt als beendet, wenngleich auch die zuvor nur durch Urkunden überlieferte Königspfalz Frankfurt nicht vom legendären Gründer Frankfurts, Karl dem Großen, sondern nach Befund erst von seinem Sohn, Ludwig dem Frommen, erbaut worden war.

I would be most grateful if you would refrain from inserting images, and/or group invites; thank you

Orford is a small town in Suffolk, England, within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB. Like many Suffolk coastal towns it was of some importance as a port and fishing village in the Middle Ages. It still has a fine mediaeval castle, built to dominate the River Ore. The main geographical feature of the area is Orford Ness, a long, wide shingle spit at the mouth of the Ore. Orford Ness has in the past been used as an airstrip testing facility and in the early 1970s it was the site of a powerful radar station as part of the Cold War defences against low flying attacking aircraft; today it is a nature reserve run by the National Trust. Orford provides the only point of access to the nature reserves of Orford Ness and Havergate Island. Both sites can only be accessed via ferry boat from Orford quay. The Orford Ness ferry runs on selected days between April and October and the Havergate Island ferry on selected Saturdays. The population of Orford greatly increases during the summer months due to its flourishing sailing club. As well as the Castle, Orford's attractions include river cruises, three pubs, a traditional post office which sells fresh bread, a traditional bakery, a smokehouse and a restaurant; the Butley-Orford Oysterage.

Title

Denver, Colorado. Twenty-four hours a day the sparks from acetylene torches of steel workers in eight Denver fabricating plants are flying thick and fast that the U.S. Navy may carry the battle to the enemy in all parts of the world. Here in secluded Denver, the world's largest city not on a navigable waterway, this war production worker, who has never seen a battleship or an ocean, fashions the steel hull parts which are being assembled at Mare Island Navy Yard--1,200 miles from where he and his fellow wokers are on the job to help "keep 'em sailling."

Macro Mondays - Into the Woods

Nodoroc in Barrow County, Georgia. This name refers to a mud volcano located 3 1/2 miles east of Winder. It is similar to some found in Burma, and around which have been told many legends. The volcano erupted shortly after the area was settled, and was given its Indian name meaning HELL as it was thought that the devil or WOG dwelt here. The volcano can not be seen in this photo, it is on the other side of the trees. It is said that the Nodoroc had significant religious significance to the native Americans in the area possibly dating back for over a thousand years. An unknown civilization built a stone temple near the site. The Upper Creeks and Cherokees would go to war with one another in order to control the land. The Wog was said to be a fearsome creature that would terrify cattle and inhabitants by night by devouring the bodies of the dead. The Creeks and Cherokees would perform human sacrifices of prisoners and sometimes villagers to appease the Wog and the bubbling cauldron of the Nodoroc.. The Wog was said to be covered by jet-black hair, have the head of a bear, have four legs the size of a deer with the back legs shorter than the front, have large teeth, a forked tongue, red eyes, and a long tail that would make a buzzing sound that could be heard from a long distance.

In a garden..... this cake was made for a dear little girl.... Rachel who turned 4 yesterday. When I asked her a few weeks ago what color would she like her cake to be she said " I like....hmmmm...pink, yellow, red, blues, green, purple, white...in that short time she almost listed the entire range of the rainbow. She also told me she liked lady bugs and pretty flowers.

So here is my little version of a beautiful garden....for a dear little girl.

Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did in make it.

If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom;

and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money it values more, it

will lose that, too.

(W. Somerset Maugham)

In the morning of 25 October 2020, it was a windchill of -29C just south of Calgary, where I had planned to go. Plan changed - stay home instead. However, by early afternoon, it had warmed up quite a bit, so I just had time to dash southwards to visit the Saskatoon Farm before they closed the restaurant for the day. Once fed, I wandered round the grounds to take a handful of photos. I also made a quick stop at a couple of old barns that I like, just to photograph them with snow on the ground.

The Baker Street robbery was an audacious heist which took place in London in 1971, which netted the criminals an estimated £3 million (equivalent to £38 million in 2026 ). They gained access a vault below Lloyds Bank in Baker Street by excavating a tunnel from a shop two units away from the target bank, and using a diamond tipped core saw, drilled through the concrete wall of the vault. generated by leonardo.ai

Ken & I witnessed a great phenomena on our way home! The little patch of mown ground looked like leftover cotton, or maybe trash, maybe white pelican feathers? I got out to take a closer look and discovered it was a rare form of frost! Frost feathers, or frost flowers- something we have NEVER seen before, and apparently requiring JUST the right conditions! It was like cotton candy/candy floss, scattered along the side of the road!

Apsley.

The major pastoral estate near Apsley village was Elderslie comprising 64,000 acres and first taken up in 1843. The Robertson family of Struan House near Naracoorte eventually purchased this run in 1883. Elderslie estate of 37,000 acres was purchased by the Victorian government in May 1920 for over £108,000. The property was then subdivided into soldier settlement blocks of around 1,000 acres each and 35 soldier settlement farms were thus created. At that time 12,256 acres was also purchased for soldier settlement blocks from Benayeo estate (1845) of 35,000 acres. More was subdivided from Benayeo after World War Two. Benayeo provided 11 soldier settler farms in 1920. This would have boosted the village of Apsley which was surveyed and created in 1851 and named after Apsley House in London. Apsley had a Post Office in 1854 as it was the major town of the district before the emergence of Edenhope. Around 1854 the Border Inn opened to provide a service to walkers and horsemen on their way to the Victorian goldfields. A few years later in 1857 thousands of Chinese who had landed at Robe walked through Apsley on their way to the Ararat and Stawell goldfields. One Chinese descendant who stayed in Apsley was Willie Lowe of Stawell who worked for most of his life as the gardener at Newlands homestead where he died in 1951 as the result of a car accident in Naracoorte. But not much happened in Apsley in the 1860s and 1870s. The Methodist Church at the end of Johnston Street opened in 1864 but is now closed. The cemetery was established in 1868. The first school opened in 1870. A Mechanics Institute was built in the 1880s and by then the Anglicans and Presbyterians were sharing one church building. This weatherboard church still exists in the main street as a residence. In the 20th century a Catholic church was built in the town along with a soldier memorial hall, general store, bank etc. The town was further boosted after World War Two when the Newlands property was purchased for soldier settlement blocks. Newlands homestead was built in 1865 and is on the left heading towards Naracoorte just near Newlands Lake. Today Apsley is struggling to survive. A group of community members purchased the hotel a few years ago to keep it trading and the school only has 13 pupils. The town has a nature wetlands walk and the two giant English oak trees in the town were planted in 1902 to commemorate the relief of Mafeking by Colonel Robert Baden-Powell and his British troops during the Boer War in May 1900. They are in the park by the telephone box west of the general store.
