Images captured during an amazing few days in the Peak District. Kinder Scout boasts unforgettable views, unique moorland and even a waterfall. It offers some of the most challenging but rewarding walks in Derbyshire.
In 1018, the city was given by the emperor Henry II to the archbishop-elector of Trier after receiving a charter. It remained in the possession of his successors until the end of the 18th century, having been their main residence since the 17th century. Emperor Conrad II was elected here in 1138. In 1198, the battle between Philip of Swabia and Otto IV took place nearby.
In 1216, prince-bishop Theoderich von Wied donated part of the lands of the basilica and the hospital to the Teutonic Knights, which later became the Deutsches Eck.
In 1249–1254, Koblenz was given new walls by Archbishop Arnold II of Isenburg; and it was partly to overawe the turbulent citizens that successive archbishops built and strengthened the fortress of Ehrenbreitstein that still dominates the city.

After a long, hard slog up to Kinder via a difficult route I was treated some brief late light.
After briefly being enveloped by low cloud, it cleared to give this view of, (a low), Kinder Reservoir from Sandy Heys on Kinder Scout.

The keep of this island castle, a pentagonal tower with its point upstream, was erected 1326 to 1327 by King Ludwig the Bavarian. Around the tower, a defensive hexagonal wall was built between 1338 to 1340. In 1477 Pfalzgrafenstein was passed as deposit to the Count of Katzenelnbogen.[1] Later additions were made in 1607 and 1755, consisting of corner turrets, the gun bastion pointing upstream, and the characteristic baroque tower cap.
The castle functioned as a toll-collecting station that was not to be ignored. It worked in concert with Gutenfels Castle and the fortified town of Kaub on the right side of the river. Due to a dangerous cataract on the river's left, about a kilometer upstream, every vessel would have to use the fairway nearer to the right bank, thus floating downstream between the mighty fortress on the vessel's left and the town and castle on its right. A chain across the river drawn between those two fortifications forced ships to submit, and uncooperative traders could be kept in the dungeon until a ransom was delivered. The dungeon was a wooden float in the well.
Unlike the vast majority of Rhine castles, "the Pfalz" was never conquered or destroyed, withstanding not only wars, but also the natural onslaughts of ice and floods by the river. Its Spartan quarters held about twenty men.
Massive measures of water engineering in the nineteenth century, above all straightening the river for better use as an international waterway and at this particular stretch, clearing it from the old cataract, relocated the regularly used fairway from the river's right arm to its left. Thus the tactical advantage may not be apparent to one unaware of the change in the watercourse.
The island of the castle was used for the Rhine crossing by 60,000 Prussian troops under Blücher in the winter of 1814 in his pursuit of Napoleon.
The castle was acquired by Prussia in 1866, and toll collections ceased in 1867. It continued to be used as a signal station for the river boat traffic for about another century. In 1946, the castle became property of the State of Rheinland–Pfalz.
Another one from the rainy trip to the Peaks.
I am currently not on flickr that much due to a top secret classified project I am working on.
It involves 15 blobuloids and a pint of beer.
Found these tiny mushrooms in a grouping on the forest floor. What kind? They are no more than an 2 inches tall. Cute, though. Also found some Chanterelles nearby, but I'm not telling where.
Around Christmas time in the year 1641, a man named Hendrik Busman was walking the 11-mile journey from Weeze to Geldern and stopped, as he often did, to pray at a cross along the road in Kevelaer. While praying he heard a voice say “build me a chapel on this site”.
Although obviously a religious man, he did not pay much attention, until the same thing happened two more times. Then, to further motivate him, his wife had a vision the next Easter in which she saw a chapel with a portrait of Our Lady of Luxembourg inside. As it happened she had been offered the chance to buy such an image previously but decided that it was too expensive.
This was finally the sign that convinced Hendrik that he should do as the voice commanded, and he sent his wife out to try to find the image and purchase it. After a great deal of effort she was able to do so and returned with the image.
India, Kerala, Nelliampathi, Wanderoo or Lion-tailed macaque.
…just his kind of macho behavior, or really being angry,
…I decided rather to move on, instead of finding out.
📍….sometimes it is helpful to know someone who knows someone who is friends with a ranger & who is responsible for monitoring the endangered Lion-tailed Macaque...thanks Sania...🙏
So we were able to observe & photograph them in their natural habitat with the necessary distance to the animals & without tourist hype.
There is rarely & only in the company of a ranger individually or with maximal a handful of observers, feeding is absolutely forbidden, after about 2 hours the fun is over & we have to leave, so the monkeys don't get used to people & change their instinctive behaviour.
It is a zestful thing to observe the Wanderoo in the Forest Reserve of Nelliampathi, approximately 70 km straight line between the forest reserve & Kochi on the coast.
Lion-tailed macaques are omnivorous but their diets consists mainly of fruits, but also eat a wide variety of vegetation such as leaves, stems, flowers, buds fungi, occasionally insects, lizards, tree frogs & small mammals are part of their diet.
The Wanderoo monkeys live exclusively in southwestern India in the southern regions of the mountain range Western Ghats. They are diurnal rainforest dwellers & good climbers, spending most of their lives in the trees. In contrast to other macaque species, they avoid human contact & do not colonize plantations.
In their group behaviour they are similar to the other macaques: they live in groups of mostly ten to twenty animals, which are made up of a few males & many females.
There is a distinct hierarchy within the groups. Wanderoos are territorial animals, they initially defend their territory with loud screams against other groups. If this doesn't help, aggressive fights can also occur.
📌….In 2003 a report stated 3000–3500 of these animals live scattered over several areas in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka. The lion-tailed macaque ranks among the rarest & most endangered primates. Their range has become increasingly isolated & fragmented by the spread of agriculture, tea, coffee, teak wood & cinchona trees, construction of water reservoirs for watering & power generation & human settlements to support such activities. They do not live, feed or travel through plantations, destruction of their habitat & their avoidance of human proximity have led to the drastic decrease of their population.
📌….however, there is hope, actually are about 32 zoos worldwide that have this species in their zoo & participate in a common breeding program.
There are 5 zoos in Germany, 4 in China & 2 in the USA - San Diego, Birmingham, 1 in Canada, 2 Russia, the rest are spread out in zoos in Europe & a few other countries around the world....except India.

One dream one soul, one prize
One goal, one golden glance of what should be
It’s a kind of magic
One shaft of light that shows the way
No mortal man can win this day
It’s a kind of magic
The bell that rings inside your mind
It’s challenging the doors of time
It's a kind of magic
The waiting seems eternity
The day will dawn of sanity
Is this a kind of magic?
