Wanderlust
Wanderlust is a strong desire for or impulse to wander or travel and explore the world.
The loanword from German language became an English term in 1902 as a reflection of what was then seen as a characteristically German predilection for wandering that may be traced back to German Romanticism and the German system of apprenticeship. The term has since become obsolete in German language.
A contemporary German equivalent for the English word wanderlust, in the sense of "crave for travel", is Fernweh (literally meaning "an ache for distance"). Since the term is a noun, its initial letter is always capitalized in German language ("Wanderlust"), but is written in lower case in English language ("wanderlust").
The term originates from the German words wandern (to hike) and Lust (desire). The term wandern, frequently misused as a false friend, does in fact not mean "to wander", but "to hike." Placing the two words together, translated: "to enjoy hiking", although it is commonly described as an enjoyment of strolling or wandering.

This is a composite consisting of the United States Marine Silent Drill Platoon and their Captain in Arlington County, Virginia 2015.
The United States Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon is a 24-man rifle platoon of the United States Marine Corps. Often referred to as The Marching Twenty-Four, the unit performs a unique silent precision exhibition drill. The purpose of the platoon is to exemplify the discipline and professionalism of the Marine Corps. The Silent Drill Platoon first performed in 1948, originally as a one-time show, and received such an overwhelming response that it soon became part of the routine parades at Marine Barracks, Washington, D.C.
The Marines execute a series of calculated drill movements and precise handling of their hand-polished 10.5 pounds (4.8 kg) M1 Garand rifles with fixed bayonets. The routine concludes with a unique rifle inspection involving elaborate rifle spins and tosses. All drill movements are done with superfluous spins of the rifle, making the Silent Drill Platoon's drill unique from other Marine units' drill movements.
The United States Marine Corps War Memorial (Iwo Jima Memorial) The war memorial is dedicated to all U.S. Marine Corps personnel who died in the defense of the United States since 1775.
The memorial was inspired by the iconic 1945 photograph of six Marines raising a U.S. flag atop Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II. It was taken by Associated Press combat photographer Joe Rosenthal. Upon first seeing the photograph, sculptor Felix de Weldon created a maquette for a sculpture based on the photo in a single weekend at Patuxent River Naval Air Station in Maryland, where he was serving in the Navy. He and architect Horace W. Peaslee designed the memorial. Their proposal was presented to Congress, but funding was not possible during the war. In 1947, a federal foundation was established to raise funds for the memorial.
This is a grass, of weed of some kind. All summer the leaves were green, and the flowers on top were purple. Now the colors are gone, and the flowers are withered. Fall is here, and soon winter will surprise us.
Good thing I've got the winter tires ready :)
Lighting
I am actually quite proud of how I lit this. We have a small heating stove in our living room, which is enclosed by three brick walls, one of the concealing the chimney. All of the walls are primed white which makes good reflectors.
First I put the grass on the stove. Then I put one flash on a stack of DVDs next to the stove and pointed it at the wall, which would become my backdrop. I ensured that the stove would flag the flash from the plant, so that the leaves would stay dark. I thought this would be enought, but there was quite a bit of falloff at the top of the frame. After a few failed attempts I put a second flash on the stove and pointed it up at the falloff area. This was what it took. Both flashes were triggered with Cactus V4 radio triggers.
Black-capped Chickadee Poecile atricapillus
This Black-capped Chickadee at the Yakima arboretum blind boyscout sparrow patch has an aluminum federal band on its right leg 2840-72236. It was banded on September 28th of this year. It's the only bird I saw there today with a band.
On the blind near the (empty) seed can is a new sign, advising to spread seed within two feet of the bushes. That advice is misguided. There were about 100 House Sparrows there yesterday; they're an invasive species. They are very easily spooked, and stay very close to cover. Non-invasive species there, e.g. White-crowned, Golden-crowned, Juncos, and Chickadees, are willing to venture out further from cover. If you spread seed further from cover, you'll be favoring the native species over the House Sparrows.
As I sat quietly in the open out in front of the blind I often could not photograph birds because they were closer to me than the 6 foot minimum focus distance of my lens -- juncos, chickadees & Song Sparrows, and I watched a Sharp-shinned Hawk swoop in to the roses in a failed attempt to catch some prey.
I bought a chair and locked it to the blind yesterday to replace the one that some jerk removed. This time my lock and cables are more stout. If you visit the blind, when you leave please tilt the chair against the blind -- so the seat doesn't collect water, snow and crud. The chair is for those who are creaky or just find it more comfortable than the stumps. If you have a plastic "patio" chair or chairs that you'd like to donate, I'm sure we'll need them again.
I was used by Scott Downes & Luke Safford when they cheated on their Big Day. Who will get them to disqualify themselves? Should Scott be allowed to count his Big Year in which he cheated in several ways on his Big Day and he trespassed on Priest Rapids Dam and on the Yakima Training Center military installation? He got kicked off of each. Birders, especially those in positions of authority in organizations such as local Audubon Chapters, Washington Ornithological Society, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, & eBird, should speak out to discourage unethical bird listing practices, even when it concerns their colleagues. To not do so is to be complicit. Good cops are worth their weight in gold.
All my original photos have embedded GPS time/date/location -- proving when & where I took the photos. I would never falsify a checklist, nor info under my photos, and never have done so. That would be the antithesis of my bird watching.
Please always consider the sensitivity of birds, nearby humans, and the environment.
Recently I asked Scott Downes for an apology. He's one of a pair of competitive listers who tricked me into helping them cheat on their Big Day. The other lister, Luke Safford, has also not apologized. In response to my request for his apology, Scott admitted his wrongdoing, but said 'It doesn't matter anyway, because Eric and I beat that record.' Scott's response is Pathetic and inexcusable.
I wish that they and other problem listers would stop their dishonest and disingenuous arguments in defense of their bad and illegal habits. Once you're caught cheating on your Big Day, you're not morally qualified to do another. Leave that competition to decent folks. Perhaps as a state biologist and a preacher, Scott Downes & Luke Safford think they're exempted from ethical constraints while bird listing and while attacking me to try to cover their deeds.
Scott Downes also has never showed the photos he took that day of their claimed (relocated) Tricolored Blackbird. At first he claimed his photos "didn't turn out". At the time of his apology this summer, he changed his story again -- he claimed that he did not even have a camera with him during his invalid Big Day. That flies in the face of what Luke Safford said to me on the phone at Lateral C when they were looking at the claimed Tricolored Blackbird. Luke had phoned me from there. I'd asked him to call me when they'd quizzed me earlier in the day. I wanted to know so I could bring my wife down to see it if it had stuck around. Luke said that as we were speaking Scott was photographing the purported Tricolored Blackbird.
My guess is his photos that day showed that their claimed Tricolored Blackbird was not a Tricolored Blackbird -- if so, ironic since they'd cheated on their Big Day to "get" it. Scott volunteered that he would remove the Tricolored Blackbird from his list. I doubt he has. I also doubt that he has contacted Washington Birder (the Knittles) to finally acknowledge his & Luke's cheating & remove their illegitimate Big Day from the records. I think that Scott Downes' & Luke Safford's names should stay on the Big Day record books, with a zero quantity, and with the explanation that they were disqualified due to cheating.
To Yakima County's problem listers: Don't cheat on your Big Days. Stop pishing and using playback on rare and sensitive birds and in heavily birded areas. Give others credit for their finds. Don't lie and intentionally mislead to cover your misdeeds, misidentifications, and illegal birding practices. Slipping in a different photo when you screwed-up, inserting a photo you took on a later date to your eBird checklist, trying to get me to trespass for your Yakima CBC, blocking links to American Birding Association articles about birding ethics, hiding your trespassing, lying about your apology, using my Dad's death to take a stab at me -- shame on you.
Since bird listing is dominated by white males, it's sadly unsurprising that abusive behavior by them is accepted by their ranks.
Please Follow this Code and Distribute and Teach it to Others ABA Code of Birding Ethics.
This is the third time I've worked with this photograph; here is version two. Zimbragos, what do you think of this one? I left the crop much closer to the original, to save the whole dragon on the left, and I adjusted the blue curve in isolation to give the whole image a faded green tint that I like very much -- but that might just be me.
Personally, I like them all for different reasons, but I don't think any of them is perfect. You can only ever keep trying, right? :-)
This is a photograph from the annual Na Fianna AC "Bob Heffernan" 5KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held in Johnstownbridge, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Tuesday 19th May 2015 at 20:00. The race has gained a glowing reputation as being one of the fastest 5KM road races in Ireland. This race commemorates the years of work and volunteering that local man Bob Heffernan gave to Meath, Leinster, and Irish athletics from grass roots upwards and his work with the host club Na Fianna AC who have a catchment area in this part of rural North Kildare and South Meath. The race, known affectionately by club-members as simply "Bob's race" is a fitting tribute to commemorate his contribution to this sport. Today's race had another very large attendance with over 420 registered participants. There was a wonderful atmosphere as runners from all over Leinster gathered for a great night's racing. The very changeable and unseasonably weather of late made for an unpredictable night weather wise. A shower of hail fell on runners between 2KM and 3KM and yet this shower didn't fall on the finish area at the Hamlet Court Hotel.
This race is part of the annual Meath Road Race League despite the fact that the race is run completely in County Kildare. The Na Fianna club, who organise the race, have a catchment area of South Meath and North West Kildare. The current route for the race has stayed the same over the past few years. However previous to that the race was held in Enfield and also Rathmoylan in County Meath. This road race has grown from strength to strength year on year and is now one of the premier 5KM races in Ireland and one of the top club attended races in Leinster. The race starts on the busy Enfield to Endenderry road and this requires a big effort from stewards and marshalls. However, as always, the event was a resounding success with personal bests and great runs from many of the participants.
The Na Fianna Athletic Club are a small, but well established, athletics club. This race is an example of how road racing should be organised and how a small race can turn itself and evolve into something which achieves near legendary status amongst runners.
We have a large set of photographs from the finish of the race and they are available on our Flickr photostream at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157653107820532

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Eminönü is a former district of Istanbul in Turkey, now a neighbourhood of Fatih district. This is the heart of the walled city of Constantine, the focus of a history of incredible richness. Eminönü covers roughly the area on which the ancient Byzantium was built. The Galata Bridge crosses the Golden Horn into Eminönü and the mouth of the Bosphorus opens into the Marmara Sea. New Mosque and up on the hill stands Topkapı Palace, the Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet Camii) and Hagia Sophia (Aya Sofya). Thus Eminönü is the main tourist destination in Istanbul. It was a part of the Fatih district until 1928, which covered the whole peninsular area (the old Stamboul) within the roman city walls - that area which was formerly the Byzantine capital Constantinople............Don't use this image on websites, blogs or other media without my explicit permission.

URBAN EARTH ROUTES
Geography is more important than many people think. A random route across a city may expose many things, but an URBAN EARTH walk is special because it attempts to reveal what a city is like for the people who live in it. URBAN EARTH is not about following the tourist trail or tracking down the most extreme places... it is about finding normality.
The route was carefully designed to show the distribution of wealth within the city. For example where the poorest 20% of the population might occupy 14% of urban space, roughly 14% of the walk travels through these most deprived areas. The length of the walk is also propotionate to the size of the city. Where possible the route also travels through areas with the greatest population densities.
See the routes at www.urbanearth.co.uk
“In 2008, the world reaches an invisible but momentous milestone: For the first time in history, more than half its human population, 3.3 billion people, will be living in urban areas. By 2030, this is expected to swell to almost 5 billion. Many of the new urbanites will be poor. Their future, the future of cities in developing countries, the future of humanity itself, all depend very much on decisions made now in preparation for this growth.” STATE OF THE WORLD POPULATION REPORT 2007

Their future, the future of cities in developing countries, the future of humanity itself, all depend very much on decisions made now in preparation for this growth.” STATE OF THE WORLD POPULATION REPORT 2007
This is seven coupled turing instabilities of various scales, from small scale to large scale, "fighting" and "co-operating" with each other. The system seems to never (at least 40 minutes at this rate) settle down into a stable state. The five fold radial symmetry is imposed by rotating the system by 1/5 five times and averaging the "morphogen" values.

There is something playfully mischievous about this excellent steakhouse which also aspires to be an exciting nightclub. 😅 So is there a better way to celebrate your second night as a guest at the fabulous Fontainebleau Las Vegas! Maybe, but maybe not… 😊
But then again, do you know what your Flickr Friend and his Lovely Wife are doing tonight? Have they had a respectable amount of time to get settled into their guest suite? Would it be terribly forward and mighty presumptuous of you to invite them down for dinner here at Papi Steak and later for exotic cocktails at the nearby ‘No Where’ Speakeasy? ☺️ Maybe, but maybe not…

"But is it Art?" — April 2009
Ann Stoddard's sculpture students create installation work at Salisbury University's Student Art Center.
This is my entry for the Spring 2011 Competition - the attached 'photos tell the story.
I am calling the yarn 'Hanami' (the name given to Japanese cherry blossom viewing picnics), because, while I created it, I couldn't quite keep out of my mind the contrast between the pleasurable activity I was undertaking and the trauma being suffered in Japan. I looked at Shiela's 'photo and felt decidedly challenged, as the colours did not encompass the range I usually work with. However, inspired by the delicate blossom, beautiful sky and tracery of red-brown twigs with hints of green leaves to come, I decided to experiment with some of the ideas I had garnered from Alison Daykin and Jane Deane's beautiful book, keeping as close to the 'photo as I possibly could, and making the most of some of the materials at my disposal.
I am lucky to live in a Cotswold village, where farming friends let me have Romney fleece which I prepare at home. First carded 85/15 with Satin Angora from my pet rabbit, then spun as a single, this was then plied with another single of 30% Romney-Angora, 30% blended pale blues of merino tops, 20% dark green merino carded with pale green hand-dyed silk throwsters waste and 20% brown wool from a Jacob's fleece carded with deep cherry and ochre pre-dyed merino. Each colour was added separately to the single in equal sections, in the order I felt gave the best colour balance to the yarn. (Initially, I tried plying two of the coloured singles together, keeping the coloured sections parallel, as best I could, but the result was too busy and had too strong a feel next to the 'photo. I opted instead to ply the mullti-coloured single with a plain cream one, which made it more restful.)
September is oogstmaand op De Peerdegaerdt, daarnaast bestaat de hoogstamboomgaard van De Peerdegaerdt precies 100 jaar. Op de eerste dag van het Plukfestijn, vrijdag 25 september, zal wethouder Paulien Tanja daarom rond 09.30 uur samen met ruim 100 kinderen symbolisch voor de aankomende 100 jaar een nieuwe perenboom aanplanten, waarbij de kinderen dit feit vieren door symbolisch een eigen gemaakte peer in de boom te hangen. Ook zal de nieuwe Peerdegaerdt-vlag gehezen worden.
De kinderen zijn leerlingen van De Rank in Barendrecht en De Parel in Strijen, die door De Peerdegaerdt zijn uitgenodigd en na deze symbolische opening van start gaan met een uitgebreid ochtenprogramma vol uiteenlopende activiteiten. Bianca Meertens, werkzaam bij de Peerdegaerdt, vertelt enthousiast: «Op De Peerdegaerdt willen we kinderen graag met de natuur in contact brengen en laten beleven hoe fijn het is om buiten bezig te zijn. Deze ochtend hebben we een heel gevarieerd programma voor de kids samengesteld. Zo gaan alle kinderen peren plukken, maar ook staat het maken van insectenhotels, het pluizen van uilenballen, cartoons tekenen, dichten in de boomgaard, verschillende activiteiten met paarden en het zelf kweken van eetbare paddenstoelen op het programma. We hopen dat de kids dolenthousiast en met mooie verhalen naar huis gaan.»
Adopteer een Peer
Om de eeuwenoude boomgaard in stand te houden en steeds meer educatieve activiteiten voor kinderen te kunnen organiseren heeft De Peerdegaerdt afgelopen jaar het adoptieplan «Adopteer een Peer» gelanceerd. Inmiddels zijn al veel adoptieplannen gesloten door bezoekers en bedrijven. Steeds meer mensen vinden het belangrijk om te zien waar hun voedsel vandaan komt en willen ook graag dat hun kinderen zich hier meer bewust van worden. Het adoptieplan van De Peerdegaerdt komt in deze wens tegemoet. Frans Jansen beheert de boomgaard en zegt: «Het adoptieplan biedt verschillende keuze mogelijkheden, van het zelf plukken tijdens de oogstperiode van de gereserveerde rassen, tot een uitnodiging om tijdens de bloesemperiode de boomgaard in volle bloei te bewonderen gecombineerd met een overheerlijke picknick. Bezoekers die tijdens het Plukfestijn een adoptieplan af sluiten, kunnen hier meteen letterlijk de vruchten van plukken. Daarnaast geven we als actie ook meteen een fles van ons eigen sap mee».

Peerdegaerdts Plukfestijn
Tijdens het Peerdegaerdts Plukfestijn van vrijdag 25 september tot zondag 27 september staat het zelf plukken van fruit uit de karakteristieke hoogstamboomgaard centraal. Dit is mogelijk tussen 11 uur ‘s ochtends en 17 uur ‘s avonds zo lang het fruit voorradig is. Voor 10 euro kan een plukzak gekocht worden om het geplukte fruit mee naar huis te nemen. Bezoekers kunnen daarnaast kennis maken met het kweken van eetbare paddestoelen, grondwerk met paarden, varkens knuffelen en het maken van insectenhotels. Kinderen kunnen verder terecht voor ponyritjes, het borstelen en verzorgen van pony’s en het uitpluizen van uilenballen. Gecombineerd met een kleinschalige duurzame markt maakt het Plukfestijn tot een sfeervol geheel. Het Plukfestijn is ook via de radio te volgen, vrijdag zendt Radio Rijnmond uit op locatie en zaterdag radio Hoeksche Waard.
De toegang en parkeren is gratis. Parkeren is mogelijk aan de Weelsedijk 61, 3291 LR in Strijen. Kijk ook op www.peerdegaerdt.nl voor meer informatie of bezoek de Facebookpagina van De Peerdegeaerdt.
This is one of my favourite photos I've ever taken and it's not even my usual style. A lot of thought and preparation goes into most of my photos, yet this was candid and spur of the moment.
My parents and I were taking a boat ride around the lake and I was lying down on the front of the boat. My mom called my name and told me to look at the loons. There were two of them, cleaning their feathers, and doing what I think was a mating dance. We circled them for about fifteen minutes and I took 120 photos.
I really like this photo in black and white, but I'll post it in colour in the comments if I can figure out how!
Voronezh is a city and the administrative centre of Voronezh Oblast in southwestern Russia straddling the Voronezh River, located 12 kilometers (7.5 mi) from where it flows into the Don River. The city sits on the Southeastern Railway, which connects western Russia with the Urals and Siberia, the Caucasus and Ukraine, and the M4 highway (Moscow–Voronezh–Rostov-on-Don–Novorossiysk). In recent years the city has experienced rapid population growth, rising in 2021 to 1,057,681, up from 889,680 recorded in the 2010 Census, making it the 14th-most populous city in the country.
The first chronicle references to the word "Voronezh" are dated 1177, when the Ryazan prince Yaropolk, having lost the battle, fled "to Voronozh" and there was moving "from town to town". Modern data of archeology and history interpret Voronezh as a geographical region, which included the Voronezh river (tributary of the Don) and a number of settlements. In the lower reaches of the river, a unique Slavic town-planning complex of the 8th – early 11th century was discovered, which covered the territory of the present city of Voronezh and its environs (about 42 km long, about 13 forts and many unfortified villages). By the 12th – 13th centuries, most of the old towns were desolate, but new settlements appeared upstream, closer to Ryazan.
For many years, the hypothesis of the Soviet historian Vladimir Zagorovsky dominated: he produced the toponym "Voronezh" from the hypothetical Slavic personal name Voroneg. This man allegedly gave the name of a small town in the Chernigov Principality (now the village of Voronizh in Ukraine). Later, in the 11th or 12th century, the settlers were able to "transfer" this name to the Don region, where they named the second city Voronezh, and the river got its name from the city. However, now many researchers criticize the hypothesis, since in reality neither the name of Voroneg nor the second city was revealed, and usually the names of Russian cities repeated the names of the rivers, but not vice versa.
The linguistic comparative analysis of the name "Voronezh" was carried out by the Khovansky Foundation in 2009. There is an indication of the place names of many countries in Eurasia, which may partly be not only similar in sound, but also united by common Indo-European languages: Varanasi, Varna, Verona, Brno, etc.
A comprehensive scientific analysis was conducted in 2015–2016 by the historian Pavel Popov. His conclusion: "Voronezh" is a probable Slavic macrotoponym associated with outstanding signs of nature, has a root voron- (from the proto-Slavic vorn) in the meaning of "black, dark" and the suffix -ezh (-azh, -ozh). It was not “transferred” and in the 8th - 9th centuries it marked a vast territory covered with black forests (oak forests) - from the mouth of the Voronezh river to the Voronozhsky annalistic forests in the middle and upper reaches of the river, and in the west to the Don (many forests were cut down). The historian believes that the main "city" of the early town-planning complex could repeat the name of the region – Voronezh. Now the hillfort is located in the administrative part of the modern city, in the Voronezh upland oak forest. This is one of Europe's largest ancient Slavic hillforts, the area of which – more than 9 hectares – 13 times the area of the main settlement in Kyiv before the baptism of Rus.
In it is assumed that the word "Voronezh" means bluing - a technique to increase the corrosion resistance of iron products. This explanation fits well with the proximity to the ancient city of Voronezh of a large iron deposit and the city of Stary Oskol. As well as the name of Voroneț Monastery known for its blue shade.
Folk etymology claims the name comes from combining the Russian words for raven (ворон) and hedgehog (еж) into Воронеж. According to this explanation two Slavic tribes named after the animals used this combination to name the river which later in turn provided the name for a settlement. There is not believed to be any scientific support for this explanation.
In the 16th century, the Middle Don basin, including the Voronezh river, was gradually conquered by Muscovy from the Nogai Horde (a successor state of the Golden Horde), and the current city of Voronezh was established in 1585 by Feodor I as a fort protecting the Muravsky Trail trade route against the slave raids of the Nogai and Crimean Tatars. The city was named after the river.
17th to 19th centuries
In the 17th century, Voronezh gradually evolved into a sizable town. Weronecz is shown on the Worona river in Resania in Joan Blaeu's map of 1645. Peter the Great built a dockyard in Voronezh where the Azov Flotilla was constructed for the Azov campaigns in 1695 and 1696. This fleet, the first ever built in Russia, included the first Russian ship of the line, Goto Predestinatsia. The Orthodox diocese of Voronezh was instituted in 1682 and its first bishop, Mitrofan of Voronezh, was later proclaimed the town's patron saint.
Owing to the Voronezh Admiralty Wharf, for a short time, Voronezh became the largest city of South Russia and the economic center of a large and fertile region. In 1711, it was made the seat of the Azov Governorate, which eventually morphed into the Voronezh Governorate.
In the 19th century, Voronezh was a center of the Central Black Earth Region. Manufacturing industry (mills, tallow-melting, butter-making, soap, leather, and other works) as well as bread, cattle, suet, and the hair trade developed in the town. A railway connected Voronezh with Moscow in 1868 and Rostov-on-Don in 1871.
20th century
During World War II, Voronezh was the scene of fierce fighting between Soviet and combined Axis troops. The Germans used it as a staging area for their attack on Stalingrad, and made it a key crossing point on the Don River. In June 1941, two BM-13 (Fighting machine #13 Katyusha) artillery installations were built at the Voronezh excavator factory. In July, the construction of Katyushas was rationalized so that their manufacture became easier and the time of volley repetition was shortened from five minutes to fifteen seconds. More than 300 BM-13 units manufactured in Voronezh were used in a counterattack near Moscow in December 1941. In October 22, 1941, the advance of the German troops prompted the establishment of a defense committee in the city. On November 7, 1941, there was a troop parade, devoted to the anniversary of the October Revolution. Only three such parades were organized that year: in Moscow, Kuybyshev, and Voronezh. In late June 1942, the city was attacked by German and Hungarian forces. In response, Soviet forces formed the Voronezh Front. By July 6, the German army occupied the western river-bank suburbs before being subjected to a fierce Soviet counter-attack. By July 24 the frontline had stabilised along the Voronezh River as the German forces continued southeast into the Great Bend of the Don. The attack on Voronezh represented the first phase of the German Army's 1942 campaign in the Soviet Union, codenamed Case Blue.
Until January 25, 1943, parts of the Second German Army and the Second Hungarian Army occupied the western part of Voronezh. During Operation Little Saturn, the Ostrogozhsk–Rossosh Offensive, and the Voronezhsko-Kastornenskoy Offensive, the Voronezh Front exacted heavy casualties on Axis forces. On January 25, 1943, Voronezh was liberated after ten days of combat. During the war the city was almost completely ruined, with 92% of all buildings destroyed.
Post-war
By 1950, Voronezh had been rebuilt. Most buildings and historical monuments were repaired. It was also the location of a prestigious Suvorov Military School, a boarding school for young boys who were considered to be prospective military officers, many of whom had been orphaned by war.
In 1950–1960, new factories were established: a tire factory, a machine-tool factory, a factory of heavy mechanical pressing, and others. In 1968, Serial production of the Tupolev Tu-144 supersonic plane was established at the Voronezh Aviation factory. In October 1977, the first Soviet domestic wide-body plane, Ilyushin Il-86, was built there.
In 1989, TASS published details of an alleged UFO landing in the city's park and purported encounters with extraterrestrial beings reported by a number of children. A Russian scientist that was cited in initial TASS reports later told the Associated Press that he was misquoted, cautioning, "Don't believe all you hear from TASS," and "We never gave them part of what they published", and a TASS correspondent admitted the possibility that some "make-believe" had been added to the TASS story, saying, "I think there is a certain portion of truth, but it is not excluded that there is also fantasizing".
21st century
From 10 to 17 September 2011, Voronezh celebrated its 425th anniversary. The anniversary of the city was given the status of a federal scale celebration that helped attract large investments from the federal and regional budgets for development.
On December 17, 2012, Voronezh became the fifteenth city in Russia with a population of over one million people.
Today Voronezh is the economic, industrial, cultural, and scientific center of the Central Black Earth Region. As part of the annual tradition in the Russian city of Voronezh, every winter the main city square is thematically drawn around a classic literature. In 2020, the city was decorated using the motifs from Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker. In the year of 2021, the architects drew inspiration from Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale The Snow Queen as well as the animation classic The Snow Queen from the Soviet Union. The fairy tale replica city will feature the houses of Kai and Gerda, the palace of the snow queen, an ice rink, and illumination.

Het is vandaag erg warm en we gaan er vroeg op uit met een druk programma. Eerst naar de Mercati Capi. Mooie vis en groentes die je in Nederland niet zomaar vindt.
Daarna naar de Cattedrale di Palermo. Erg mooi maar helaas niet toegankelijk omdat de zondagsmis bezig is.
Door naar het hoogtepunt; het Palazzo Réale, het regeringspaleis van Sicilië, met de Capella Palatina bekend om zijn zeer verfijnde mozaïeken met ingelegd goud. Het Palazzo Reale (9e eeuw) werd gebouwd in opdracht van de Emir van Sicilië. Na de verovering door de Normandiërs (11e eeuw), maakte Rogier I van het het paleis de zetel van de Normandische koningen van Sicilië, vandaar de naam Palazzo dei Normanni.
Wat geschiedenis: De verovering van Zuid-Italië door de Normandiërs (de Normandische Kruistocht) was in de elfde eeuw. In 911 gaf de Franse koning Karel de Eenvoudige het Franse graafschap Rouen in leen aan de Noormannenleider Rollo, die in ruil daarvoor beloofde het land tegen andere invallers te beschermen. Met Rollo vestigden zich vele Noordse krijgers in het gebied dat sindsdien hun naam draagt: Normandië. Van daar uit ondernamen de Normandiërs tochten, om dezelfde redenen als waarom zij uit Scandinavië wegtrokken: de bevolkingsgroei, gecombineerd met een erfrecht dat het volledige bezit aan de oudste zoon toekent, en de gewoonte van hun hardhandige vorsten om opstandige vazallen te verbannen. In 999 trok een groep Normandiërs op bedevaart naar Jeruzalem door Italië. Op een avond overnachtten ze bij de vorst van Salerno, toen de stad werd aangevallen door zeerovers. De Normandiërs wisten de rovers te verdrijven. De vorst was onder de indruk van de strijdlust en bood ze werk als huurling. De pelgrims sloegen het aanbod af, maar bazuinden rond dat er werk was in Zuid-Italië. Rond 1000 werd dit gebied, waar de vorstendommen elkaar constant bestreden, dan ook met Normandische gelukszoekers overspoeld. Kieskeurig waren ze niet; wie betaalde, kreeg hun hulp.
De Arabieren of Saracenen hadden Palermo in 831 verovert en de stad floreerde als een centrum van handel met Noord-Afrika. Palermo was behoorlijk welvarend toen het emiraat Sicilië in 1072 in handen viel van de Normandische Roger I en Robert Guiscard. Na de oprichting van het Normandische koninkrijk Sicilië (1130) door Roger II, werd Palermo de hoofdstad van een koninkrijk waarin Grieken, Arabieren, Joden en Noormannen in een unieke harmonie samenwerkten. Door zijn ligging in de Middellandse Zee telde Sicilië vele godsdiensten en culturen. Rogier voerde godsdienstvrijheid in en maakte Sicilië tot een centrum van wetenschap, filosofie en kunst.

Track time, autox, & hot laps with an andretti (forget which one, but the dude was scary fast). Fun. IS-F growls like thunder and grips like Velcro
This lake is very famous due to it contains a desert beside, it is an artifitial lake , there is a elecicity power plant down the lake, on the way to Pakistan. the background of snow mountains is the saint mountains for local people.
It is June 21, 2023, and we would welcome the new summer season for 2023, and fortunately I was able to get away for a few hours of exploring and photography in midtown Manhattan. Today’s adventure was to explore a “street” I had only recently become aware of…6 ½ Avenue! One would ask quite logically, a half? What the heck is that. Well, what it really is, is a series of mid-block “public spaces” that have been linked together to form a pedestrian corridor stretching from 51st street to 57th street between 6th and 7th Avenues. What is unique is that there are clearly marked pedestrian crossings across the streets, complete with stop signs giving the pedestrian the clear right of way. Also at each street are clearly marked street signs showing the 6 ½ Avenue on the sign. It is a very interesting walk, sometimes directly through the lobbies of office buildings, or through corridors between buildings. Some of the spaces are quite elegant complete with a French style “Boucherie” and potted plants to spaces little more than an empty corridor.
After completion we turned our sights to lunch at one of the many food carts/tents/trucks located around the Radio City Music Hall area along 6th Ave. We had a rather excellent Pulled Pork sandwich of southern style cooking with a Korean accent.
Then it was over to the ever colorful Times Square area for some more photography, and to observe the grand celebration of “International Yoga” day. Then to famous Bryant Park and then finally Grand Central Terminal.
