The city of Hengelo is often called the 'metal city' because of its industrial facilities. The former foundry (ijzergieterij) of the Stork factory is shown here. It was constructed in 1902 and later was used for the maintenance of industrial appliances.
It served this purpose until the end of the 90s and was redeveloped into a school for professional education (ROC Twente) in 2009 by Harry Abels (IAA Architecten) and restoration architect Maarten Fritz (Architectenbureau Fritz).
Like we mostly do, we asked permission to enter. After gaining it (‘OK, but please leave after 5 minutes’), we walked into the astounding redeveloped industrial space. And met a security crew that looked at us somewhat dubiously. Time for a chat: ‘You’re out in force in today’ (there were 4 of them). ‘We’re here because of Corona’, and they told that they were astonished by the number of tourists that have started to visit the facility. ‘This is no tourist attraction’. ‘But you are !” and smiling I showed them a new leaflet ('Tuindorp-route') of the municipal tourist office (VVV) in which the building, its history, and architecture are featured.
We talked some more, and one of the guards told us that she knows the building well - her father had worked there, and during a holiday she had worked there too, as a temp.

Geologically Galdhøpiggen, as most of Southern Norway's mountain ranges, belongs to the Caledonian folding. The peak is made of gabbro, a hard but rather coarse-grained rock which is found in most of the Jotunheimen range. During the ice ages it was heavily glaciated and got its present form. The theory that the highest summits in Norway stayed above the ice as nunataks has been abandoned by most geologists. It fits well with the present flora in the area, but it does not fit well with the present knowledge of ice thickness and the results of glaciation.
For many years, geologists did not know that Galdhøpiggen was the highest summit in Norway. The honor was granted to the much more visible Snøhetta in the Dovrefjell range. Hence no attempts were made to climb the peak, while Snøhetta was visited for the first time in 1798 as part of a scientific trip to the area. In 1844 the geologist and mountaineer, Baltazar Mathias Keilhau, made two unsuccessful attempts to reach the summit. On one of these he reached the summit which later was named Keilhaus topp 2,355 m above sea level very close to Galdhøpiggen, but the terrible weather forced them to return.[citation needed]
In 1850 three men from Lom reached the summit, the guide Steinar Sulheim, the local teacher Arnesen and the church warden Flotten
A closed shop-front (знання translates as 'knowledge') in Chernivtsi, Western Ukraine.
Named for the black ("cherny") oaken walls which surrounded the city until they were destroyed by the Mongol invasion of 1259, Chernivtsi has historically been a major cultural and education centre, and sits close to the Romanian and Moldovan borders. Like many parts of Western Ukraine, the city has been part of various nations and empires over the years, belonging to the Kingdom of Moldovia, the Austrian Empire, the Romanian empire, before becoming part of the Soviet states and finally independent Ukraine. The city is nicknamed "Little Vienna," because its architecture is reminiscent of the Austro-Hungarian capital.

ODC1 - KNOWLEDGE
If I could be bothered to read them
I'm sure the sum total of my knowledge would be greatly increased!
I followed the Nez Perce Trail from Joseph, Oregon to Bear Paw, Montana, tracing the route as close as I could get to the path taken in 1877. In some cases, I walked the same ground. In others, I had to drive somewhat adjacent.
River crossings were important to me. Sometimes the exact location is lost, but for others, it's common knowledge.
I'm drawn to river crossings, whether historically important or just historical.
The Nez Perce crossed fifteen miles northwest of this bridge. The land is now private - as is much of the land the trail crossed. But still, the drive in to this point and out was worth it.
The Salmon is a wonderful river that has actually changed course drastically over its lifespan. Traveling along it is almost never accidental. You have to seek it out (and should).

I grew up with the knowledge that until THEY were over, the temperatures would still be unstable and UNPREDICTABLE!
And this year, they definitely did their reputation justice!
So, a few more days eh and, you can bring out in the garden all the frost susceptible plants and also annuals.
In late spring, the ICE SAINTS is the name for a number of Catholic saints , whose name days fall within the period from 11 to 15 May.
According to the meteorology people they are the last days in the year in which frost still may occur.
A sloppy interpretation of this folk wisdom has led to the misconception that a late spring with increased risk of frost would be.
Amongst the Ice Saints are considered:
Mamertus ( May 11 )
Pancras ( May 12 )
Servatius of Maastricht ( May 13 )
Boniface of Tarsus ( May 14 )
Sophia of Rome ( May 15 )
We came back from the Continent, I saw these in the garden, amongst the undergrowth, they were tiny and frail. View On proper Black
The little bells were tingelinging away in the cold wind, knowing they do not last very long... brought them in, they were ready for their close-up, lol!
STAY SAFE!
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty, M, (*_*)

The interior atrium of the Sir Duncan Rice Library in Aberdeen.
It was designed by Schmidt Hammer Lassen architects and completed in 2011 at a cost of £57million. Formally opened by HM The Queen in September 2012,It is named after Duncan Rice, a previous Principal of the University of Aberdeen.
Mea Culpa: I was taking a series of shots of this Lady Bug in the middle of some pretty lavender blossoms. It was moving around. Several of the images are pretty nice, and I intended one for Flickr.
I found this one, though, and chose it instead. It is NOT as good as the others, but because of the split second in time captured, it seemed the money shot. Subject matter and pose trumped the somewhat sharper beauty images in the blooms.
BUT...I've learned something completely new. Lady bugs open their 'shell' and wings ONE AT A TIME, not both simultaneously. You can see this in the comment box photo immediately below. Perhaps, for knowledge's sake, THAT is really the payoff photo.
This huge old book was sitting on the corner of the shelf just above my desk here; I was experimenting with camera settings as I sat here, clicking away at random subjects and I kind of liked how it looked with the branches behind it.
Dedicated to my son Who is celebrating his birthday today! You are wished good health, abundance and the knowledge that you are loved ❤️
These are tense times globally so a little chocolate is a necessary feel-good addition to a sensible diet.

From ancient times to the present, philosophers have repeatedly emphasized the importance of living a frugal or minimalist life. The ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes said, “True wealth is not in increasing possessions, but in reducing one’s needs.” Mahatma Gandhi pointed to the destructive side of human greed, stating, “The Earth has enough for everyone’s needs, but not enough for everyone’s greed.” From the Buddha to Karl Marx, across the passage of time, many have expressed similar ideas. This minimalist concept in philosophy has greatly influenced the photographer, and its mark is clearly visible in his vision and framing.
The absence of color or the use of minimal composition in framing reflects the photographer’s inclination toward a minimalist approach. The fog, wrapped like a thick winter blanket, creates a serene atmosphere. In this calm and pure dramatic setting, human presence becomes secondary. Before nature, even humanity’s vast achievements become insignificant. That is why the photographer has kept humans and their architectural achievements in the background, framing the scene in a minimalist style. Here, nature is the primary subject—not humans or their constructions.
According to nihilism, or the philosophy of pessimism, human life does not has inherent purpose. Evolutionary theory has shown that humans are an unintended outcome of nature’s evolutionary process. Yet human beings, regarded as the finest of creations, continue to exploit all their knowledge and effort into seeking meaning in life. They establish ever-greater architectural structures upon the heart of nature. In proving their superiority, they seem to challenge nature itself. Viewing nature as an adversary, humanity gradually distances itself further and further from it.

There Is a New Song
A poem by Peter S. Quinn
Each morning of our life,
There is a new song
And when dusk arrive,
These, remain and carry on;
Futile is our love story,
If enlighten is not there,
With tuneful morning glory
And basket of fruits to bear.
Freedom is no yesterday,
Nor is it in a book we read,
It is the doing of our say
And how we others treat;
Flower within your breast
Are beautiful of wisdom,
If they are for love that is least,
They truly shall forward bloom.
Our heaven is not in book,
Or a story that once was told,
Nor is it of rainbow look,
It is what we give and hold;
Let there be love in what we do
And kindness is what you give,
Then prosperity becomes you
And justice shall with you live.

Mystery solved! I've been trying to get to know my new home area, and on one of my numerous recce trips had passed this farmyard out at Newton of Ardtoe, and wondered why there was an ex RAF SEAKING search and rescue helicopter residing next to a cattle shed. In the absence of anyone around I was left wondering until today when a local, liberally spattered in cow sh!t came out of a nearby house with his wife, and I was able to ask him. Well Gordon told me it had been bought by a local fisherman who had a vision to convert it into a snack shack or an AirBnB. Ah yes, what a good idea....and then it transpired this was not just any local fisherman but one who lives 20 yards over my garden fence. Thankfully, I know there is no room near us to move a redundant ex RAF SEAKING search and rescue helicopter to, but said neighbour does not have the best reputation in these parts for maintaining the peace. Quite how it landed in the back o'beyond remains a mystery. These things are BIG!. But I'm discovering there are many colourful locals in these parts and strange things do happen.
You should never underestimate farmers and fishermen in these parts. Next to the helicopter the farmer is building his own SpaceX Mars rocket rival
Me and a few other ARC troopers of the 253rd have been ordered to take a little detour back to Kamino before our next mission. Command has ordered us to pass on our knowledge and train the next batch of ARC troopers, that will one day fight beside, if not replace us. I am happy to assist in training. I remember how I was in such a ARC promotion program and thus know what these recruits might be capable of one day. I’ll try my best to teach them well.
