Even the famous poet Heinrich Heine called the Ilse Valley in the Harz mountains one of the most beautiful hiking trails and memorialized it in the song "The Princess of Ilse" in the year 1827. Those who have allready seen it can easily understand that. In countless cascades the river Ilse is gurgling and rustling through an adorable beech forest. Its a magic place. where You can connect yourself perfectly with the spirit of nature.
Bereits der berühmte Dichter Heinrich Heine bezeichnete das Ilsetal im Harz als einen der schönsten Wanderwege und setze ihm mit dem Lied "Ich bin die Prinzessin Ilse" im Jahr 1827 ein bleibendes Denkmal. Wer es einmal selbst erlebt hat, der kann dies nachvollziehen. Über unzählige kleine und große Wasserfälle plätschert und rauscht die Ilse durch einen bezaubernden Buchenwald. Es ist ein magischer Ort wo Du eine intensive Verbindung mit der Natur aufnehmen kannst.

One of my very favourite places is the area of Plymouth known as The Barbican. It is the oldest part of the city and is adjacent to the old fish quay in Sutton Harbour. Although the fish market moved across to the other side of the harbour a long time ago, several fishing boats still tie up here regularly. There are a number of pubs and restaurants in this part of Plymouth, whilst the oldest buildings date back to the 16th century. Plymouth suffered badly in WWII and it is perhaps remarkable that so many old buildings did survive the intensive bombing. A short distance from here the Mayflower set off for the New World in 1620. The building in which the Pilgrims are supposed to have spent the night before leaving is still there.

A shot taken almost 46 years ago to the day uploaded for historical value. And, if you're lucky enough to have the space to model Trent Station back in the 1950s / early 1960s with plentiful 9Fs, 8Fs, Duck 6s, Jubes, D1-10 Peaks, Sulzer Type 2, etc etc, then this image just might be helpful.
In the distant past known as Long Eaton Junction Signal Box, this structure controlled the line to Trent Junction from Attenborough / Nottingham, as well as the by now lifted line to Erewash Junction and Long Eaton station, the track bed of which is still visible curving right under the flyover-line bridge a couple of hundred yards away.
Long Eaton station closed in January 1967 (at which time the name was transferred to the then Sawley Junction station), and presumably the curve from just here to Erewash Junction was lifted shortly afterwards.
Along with so many other signal boxes in the area, its final ignominy came in 1969 with the commissioning of Trent Power Box. However, unlike many of the other redundant boxes which saw swift demolition, this one soldiered on as the Meadow Lane Crossing Shunting Frame for several more years, its role simply to open and close the crossing gates over Meadow Lane.
Advances in camera technology finally made it redundant when control of the crossing was passed to Trent Power Box, and the structure was demolished.
Trent Power Box itself was closed in 2013, after 44 years of service, and control passed to Derby Signalling Centre.
For local road users, delays weren't too bad when this shot was taken but, with the much more intensive contemporary timetables, train frequency has significantly increased. So, if you live on this side of the tracks, your only way out by car is over this crossing - and hearsay suggests the barriers can be down upwards of 40 minutes in every hour. Ouch :(

Remembering the beauty and warmth of summer in time when temperatures getting less than -30ºC (-37ºC in some places).
Intensive living
If you stand in one of the typical courtyards of Hong Kong, you can see how intense it is to live together in such a small space. The Chinese special administrative region Hong Kong is roughly the size of Stuttgart and Berlin put together. However, around 7.5 million residents crowd into it.
Intensiv-Wohnen
Steht man in einer von Hongkongs typischen Innenhöfe, erahnt man, wie intensiv das Zusammenleben auf engstem Raum sein muß.
Die chinesische Sonderverwaltungszone Hongkong etwa ist ungefähr so groß wie Stuttgart und Berlin zusammengenommen. In ihr drängen sich jedoch rund 7,5 Millionen Bewohner.

Compositionally Challenged Week 27 - Storytelling
Shot while visiting a family member. The story started with a fantastic Alaskan cruise but then turned serious on the last day. He had to be hospitalized in British Columbia for 11 days and then was flown back to Colorado via air ambulance yesterday. His wife had to drive their vehicle home by herself, arriving just tonight. We've all been on edge and will be for a while.
I'll be popping in and out but I might not get around to commenting much, my apologies! : )

1 November 2020: Update on The Corona Pandemic – Belgium crossed the barrier of 20,000 daily coronavirus infections. At the moment, 6,438 people are hospitalized for covid-19 in Belgium, with 1,105 of them being in intensive care units. The number of infections and the number of hospital admissions are rising so quickly that Belgium announced last Friday that it will activate a lockdown as of Sunday night. Hence, yesterday was the last day of trading before the emergency break to curb the increase of infections becomes effective. I would have expected that people would stay at home and the shops would be empty, but nothing was less true, there were huge crowds in shopping streets and big queues outside retail outlets selling non-essential goods. In summary, crowded shopping streets shamed our country the day before the lockdown becomes effective. Obviously, it didn’t sink in that it is now or never and that this is our last chance to avoid a nationwide tragedy. Why are people ignoring the fact that we are heading for a crash of our healthcare system and that this irresponsible behavior may result that hospitals will soon have to choose who they treat and who they don’t? We need to demonstrate a collective responsibility in combatting the pandemic, if not, we’re heading for a misty future - Damme, Belgium
