Mallow (lat. Malva), or kalachik, or stem-rose - the type genus of the Malvaceae family - a herbaceous plant, usually annual, sometimes biennial and perennial. Today, about 30 species of mallow grow naturally in the temperate climates of North Africa, North America, Asia and Europe. Mallow was cultivated in Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece: a description of the healing properties of the plant was found in the writings of Hippocrates and Pliny the Elder. In the twenties of the last century, scientists discovered ecological plasticity and high fodder qualities in mallow. And large bright pink flowers have always aroused the admiration of artists who depicted them in paintings, and poets who sang about them in verse.
Mallow has long been known in folk medicine. The beneficial properties of mallow have been studied by healers in many countries. For example, an infusion of mallow flowers and leaves cures stomach inflammation and intestinal disorders. Hot baths with steamed leaves or flowers of mallow (mallow) help relieve swelling of the spleen. The forest mallow grass is a constant component of chest collections.

* Puerta del Castillo. Entrada a la “Plaza Alta” por la parte posterior de la Alcazaba. Badajoz. Extremadura. España.
* Todo el conjunto amurallado de la Alcazaba fue declarado Monumento Histórico-Artístico por decreto de 3 de junio de 1931.
Se puede constatar que la alcazaba de Badajoz, no sólo es la más grande de España, sino que además, es la mayor de Europa y de las más grandes del mundo en lo que a su perímetro y superficie se refiere.
Ante tan singular enclave rememoré los versos del poeta pacense Jesús Delgado Valhondo.
Amanecer en Badajoz
Siento la luz latiendo debajo de mis párpados,
viene del manantío que brota de mi alma,
del amor a la vida abrazando mi cuerpo,
del corazón subiendo la escalera soñada.
Abro los ojos, nada: la luz es más profunda.
El muro de la sombra a mis manos agranda.
Voy buscando el milagro que presiento en noticias
de un nuevo sol vertiendo su dorada palabra.
Ya respiran los árboles en la luz de los pájaros,
en donde está la estrella dulcemente cansada,
en donde está el recuerdo llamando a todas partes:
catedral, río, puente, torre de la Alcazaba.
Resplandece en la sangre la claridad del día.
Ha despertado el aire remansos de nostalgias.
Solamente dos pasos, alargar los sentidos,
descubrir tras la noche Badajoz en el alba.
Huele el paisaje a limpio, tierra y cielo limpio,
el silencio se rompe en trozos de mañana.
Dios me mira contento desde sus grandes horas
en el momento justo de abrir yo mi ventana.
(JESÚS DELGADO VALHONDO. Poemas .)

In de late middag van deze grijze 6 juni kreeg ik bericht dat de Rzepin-shuttle die nog niet zo lang bij VTG rijdt via Emmerich werd omgeleid. In eerste instantie werd mij verteld dat hij mogelijk over de Betuweroute ging.
Maar toen ik hoorde dat hij over het conventionele net via Zevenaar, Arnhem en Nijmegen uiteindelijk naar Tilburg Industrie reed werd de spullen gepakt en weer richting de spoorbrug over de IJssel gereden. Een cargo over Arnhem-Zevenaar gebeurt namelijk niet elke dag.
Daar aangekomen hoefde ongeveer 20 minuten gewacht te worden op de Rzepin-shuttle. Toen het sein vanuit de richting Zevenaar op een "vreemde" tijd op rood ging kwam dan de bevestiging dat hij in aantocht was.
Terwijl het gelukkig een uur van te voren de zon ging schijnen passeert de fraaie 189 211 van VTG met Rzepin-shuttle 49784 de spoorbrug over IJssel bij Arnhem.

Italia, Lombardia, Mantova, Primavera 2018
Mantova è una città in Lombardia, Italia. Nel 2016 è diventata Capitale italiana della cultura e nel 2017 Capitale europea della gastronomia. Il centro storico di Mantova è un sito del patrimonio mondiale dell'UNESCO Mantova è circondata su tre lati da laghi artificiali, creati durante il 12° secolo, come sistema di difesa della città. Questi laghi ricevono acqua dal fiume Mincio, un affluente del fiume Po che scende dal Lago di Garda. Il potere e l'influenza storica di Mantova sotto la famiglia Gonzaga la resero uno dei principali centri artistici, culturali e soprattutto musicali dell'Italia settentrionale e dell’Italia intera. Mantova è nota per il suo ruolo significativo nella storia dell'opera; la città è anche conosciuta per i suoi tesori architettonici e manufatti, eleganti palazzi e il paesaggio urbano medievale e rinascimentale. È il luogo in cui il Romeo fu bandito nella commedia di Shakespeare Romeo e Giulietta. E' la città più vicina al luogo di nascita del poeta romano Virgilio, che è stato commemorato da una statua nel parco sul lago "Piazza Virgiliana".

Mantua is noted for its significant role in the history of opera; the city is also known for its architectural treasures and artifacts, elegant palaces, and the medieval and Renaissance cityscape. It is the place where the Romeo was banished in Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet.
