The "Pirknerklamm", is flowed through by the "Pirkner Bach river". Next to the river stands one of the old mills. The river landscape with the intensively coloured stones in the rain and the old mills give the landscape a fairy-tale appearance.

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! : )

This male kōlea is molting into his breeding plumage, often referred to as a tuxedo, before the long flight from the tropics to the nesting grounds on the Alaskan tundra. In a few weeks, he will sense that the time has arrived to congregate with other previously solitary kōlea and depart collectively. The trip spans 3,000 miles of open ocean requiring a rigorous, energy intensive effort of 3 to 4 days and nights of nonstop flight at elevation ranging from 3,000 to 16,000 feet. Superb navigators with territorial fidelity, kōlea, or Pacific golden plovers, use the stars and the earth’s magnetic field to find their way over the featureless ocean to the same small patch of territory every year. They may use the earth’s magnetic field visually with the magnetoreception molecules of cryptochrome in their retina.
The physiological changes in migrating shorebirds, like this male kōlea, are astonishing. The necessity of increasing fat load for the sustained energy demands of long-distance migration has been compared to, in terms of percentage body fat, larding up to morbid obesity in humans. The surge in heart and lung capacity and increase in pectoral flight muscle are driven by hormonal changes (without the drudgery of exercise!).
Grudziądz is a town located in the northern Poland on the Vistula River, near the Osa River; it ia an urban county situated in Kujawsko - Pomorskie Voivodeship (Province).
The first reference to Grudziądz appears in the document from 1065 - the document sent by Boleslaus the Brave to the St. Benedictine Monastery in Mogilno. Castrum Grudomzch is mentioned as one of the towns from which the monastery received tithe payments.
The etymology of the town's name has been the source of arguments among researchers. Some of them point out that the name derives from the word "gród" (fortified settlement), others claim that the name originates from the word "gruda" (a hard clod of soil, existing in this area in abundance). There are also those, however, who due to the town's close proximity to the border with Prussia, consider the name "Grudziądz" to be of Prussian origin.
In 1231, the Teutonic Order took over the town with the surrounding settlement; at the same time, the Order made diplomatic efforts to eliminate the competition of the Prussian bishop in Chełmno Land and Prussia. The written history of Grudziądz dates back to 1222 and is strongly related to Christian - the missionary bishop of Prussia. In 1299, Meinhard from Kwerfurt, the Land Master of the Teutonic Order, granted the town a location privilege and new charter according to the Chełmno Law.
In 1415, thanks to Michał Kuchmeister, the Great Master of Teutonic Order, the first waterworks supplied by the mill waters could be conducted. However, due to the continuous problems with water supply, and thanks to the permission of King Sigmund August, Trynka Canal was dug in 1552. The Castle of the Teutonic Order was built north of the city in the second half of the 13th century.
Only in the 15th century was the contiunous development of the town possible. After the Order provided the town with a number of economic benefits, Grudziądz became a craft and trade centre. Having few ranaries, the town participated in the corn trade in the north-eastern part of Chełm Land.
The uprising which broke out on January 14, 1454 was soon suppressed on February 8. For over 300 years Grudziądz belonged to the Polish Duchy. In the new circumastances the town became a part of Chełm Voivodeship.
An intensive industrial development in the second half of the 19th century, the construction of the railway line and the bridge on the Vistula River promised well for the future of the town. First, Grudziądz-Jabłonowo (1876), and later Grudziądz - Laskowice (1879) and Grudziądz - Chełmża railway lines were established. In 1885, in the south-eastern suburbs of the town, Central Railway Station was built; around the railway junction the new district was created.

Nature will take revenge for what we are doing to animals: antibiotic resistance, environmental pollution, excessive consumption of essential terrestrial resources such as water and soil, climate change, danger of future pandemics....
The living conditions of animals in intensive farming are incompatible with minimum standards of animal welfare, and furthermore, they are leading the planet to collapse.
La natura si vendicherà di ciò che stiamo facendo agli animali: antibiotico resistenza, inquinamento ambientale, consumo eccessivo di risorse terrestri essenziali quali acqua e suolo, cambiamento climatico, pericolo di future pandemie....
Le condizioni di vita degli animali negli allevamenti intensivi sono incompatibili con standard minimi di benessere animale, e inoltre, stanno portando il pianeta al collasso.

Una iniziativa di EUmans! rivolta ai candidati delle Elezioni Europee 2024: si chiede di fermare i sussidi, diretti e indiretti, agli allevamenti intensivi, modello agroalimentare non più sostenibile, come mostrato nel film Food For Profit.
Smettiamo di destinare i fondi europei a un'industria che inquina il pianeta e maltratta gli animali.

Let's stop allocating European funds to an industry that pollutes the planet and mistreats animals.
Two months I have quite disappeared from Flickr. I am sorry for that. I miss commenting your photos, taking some new ones and posting them. Still too much work with my IT project : the "baby" is growing but still need intensive cares. Beside my professionnal life, a lot of activities are taking most of my free time. I have just ended a new website for my friend Lydia, a great organist. I will talk about that in a future post. A lot of work with the choir I belong to. After Puccini's Messa di Gloria in 2007, since the beginning of this year, we are starting to work on a new masterpiece from the classical period. An other post soon on this subject so close to me...
Bientôt 2 mois que j'ai pratiquement disparu de Flickr. J'en suis désolé. Commenter vos photos me manque, tout comme en prendre de nouvelles et les poster. Encore beaucoup de travail avec le projet informatique sur lequel je travaille : le bébé grandit mais nécessite encore des soins intensifs. A côté de ma vie professionnelle, plusieurs activités occupent l'essentiel de mon temps libre. Je viens de terminer un nouveau site Web pour mon amie Lydia, une grande organiste. J'ai aussi beaucoup de travail avec le choeur auquel j'appartiens. Après la Messa di Gloria de G. Puccini en 2007, depuis le début de l'année, nous travaillons intensément (17 heures de répétition la semaine dernière !) sur un autre chef d'oeuvre de la période classique. Un autre post à venir sur ce sujet qui me tient particulièrement à coeur...
