Memories by Stille

208 33

From my introduction-to-winter-mountaineering class last January. Seems a world ago. Was supposed to a second class in mid-March - it'll be next year now. They declared full lockdown starting today, so I'm browsing through my memories.

P.S: if, after all this is itself a memory, you ever decide to visit the Romanian mountains and want a local guide, Alpine Challenge are utterly awesome - and utterly awesome people, too.

Wild young male Puma (Puma concolor), done with his nap, takes notice of the humans who have been patiently waiting for him to wake up. He was aware of our presence before his nap, and he was totally comfortable with us. Telephoto lenses, experienced local guides and common sense are still necessary.

Women's clothing store. Local guides say; "This is one of my favorite stores in Toronto. It's quirky and funky and stuffed with rare designer duds and baubles". "This store is literally the QUEEN of Queen Street. It's a MUST-VISIT for anyone who appreciates cutting-edge fashion with a distinctly curated twist".

Inside New College, Oxford, and its Gardens by JR P

1

As we explored Oxford one gray Sunday afternoon, we passed a very long queue of people waiting to be admitted to its most famous college, Christ Church, with all of its Harry Potter connections. A local guide recommended that we take a look inside New College instead, and we were amazed at its history, quality and tranquility. Unfortunately, photography was not allowed inside the magnificent chapel, dining hall and library, which we highly recommend. (The same person also said that Exeter College was especially worth exploring but we did not have time on this trip.)

New College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. Its official name, College of St Mary, is the same as that of the older Oriel College; hence, it has been referred to as the "New College of St Mary", and is now almost always called "New College". One of the most famous and academically successful of the Oxford colleges, it stands along Holywell Street and New College Lane (known for Oxford's Bridge of Sighs), next to All Souls College, The Queen's College and St Edmund Hall. It is one of the main choral foundations of the University of Oxford. In 2006 the college had an estimated financial endowment of £143m.[1] In 2006 New College sold some of these assets to provide a substantial salary windfall for its fellows (among other uses).

Despite its name, New College is one of the oldest of the Oxford colleges, having originally been founded in 1379. The second college in Oxford to be dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, it was founded by William of Wykeham, Bishop of Winchester. It was founded in conjunction with the famous Winchester College, which was envisaged as a feeder to the Oxford college, and the two institutions have striking architectural similarities: both were the work of master mason William Wynford. Both Winchester College and New College were originally established for the education of priests, there being a shortage of properly educated clergy after the Black Death. William of Wykeham also established New College School to provide for the education of 16 choristers for the chapel.

As well as being the first Oxford college for undergraduates and the first to have senior members of the college give tutorials, New College was the first college in Oxford to centre on a main quadrangle, with student rooms, a dining hall, a library, and study rooms within the square ring of buildings and gates. The quadrangle design inspired many of the later colleges, perhaps most recently St Catherine's College, Oxford because Arne Jacobsen was an ardent admirer of "the Oval", or oval-shaped lawn in the old quad. (New College's quadrangle is not the first in Oxford, however, merely the first to contain all of the above elements; the first quadrangle was Merton's Mob Quad. Merton's dining hall, though, is in a connecting building outside the quad, as is its chapel.) At the time of its founding, New College had the grandest collection of buildings for a college in Oxford, a testament to Wykeham's experience in administering both ecclesiastical and civil institutions as the Bishop of Winchester and High Chancellor of England.

The New College grounds are among the largest and most beautiful in Oxford. The Cloisters and the Chapel are of particular note, as is the old City Wall (around which the College is built); much of the mediæval stained glass in the antechapel has recently been restored. The gardens are equally impressive and include the decorative Mound (which originally had steps, but is now smooth with one set of stairs).

The bell tower contains one of the oldest rings of ten bells, which is rung by the Oxford Society of Change Ringers and the Oxford University Society of Change Ringers. The college is also in possession of a respectable collection of silver (including the mediæval silver gilt Founder's Crozier, housed in a display case in the chapel), and two notable "unicorn horns" (in fact narwhal tusks).

In addition to its academic reputation and its impressive set of buildings, New College is internationally renowned for its chapel choir. As part of the original College statutes, William of Wykeham provided for a choral foundation of lay and academical clerks, with boy choristers to sing mass and the daily offices. It is a tradition that continues today with the choral services of evensong and eucharist during term. In addition to its choral duties in the chapel, the choir has established a reputation as one of the finest Anglican choirs in the world through its many recordings and concert tours. The chapel organ was built by the firm of Grant, Degens, and Bradbeer in 1969, in a case designed by George Pace; somewhat revolutionary at the time, the instrument remains no less remarkable and idiosyncratic today.

The College's motto, created by William of Wykeham, is "Manners Makyth Man". The motto was in many respects fairly revolutionary. Firstly, it was written in English, rather than Latin, which makes it very unusual in Oxford, and is especially revolutionary considering the College's age; even St Catherine's College, founded in 1965, has a Latin motto ("Nova et Vetera": "the new and the old").

Secondly, the motto makes a social statement. While it might initially seem to be suggesting that it is beneficial to have good manners, this does not really capture its full scope. What it really means is that it is not by birth, money, or property that an individual is defined, but by how he (or she) behaves towards other people.

Grooming Otter by Alice Cahill

Last Week I joined photographer friend Lisa on a photo adventure to Point Reyes National Seashore. We hired local guide Daniel Dietrich to help us locate the wildlife and take some amazing shots. We started our day spending quality time with a family of River Otters. We saw them gliding through the water, eating fish, using the family 'latrine', grooming and then sliding back into the water before they disappeared from view.

The Li River by Trey Ratcliff

Now, getting to this place was not easy!

I arrived about 1 AM at a tiny family-run inn by the river. I was meeting a local guide (see Jack's website) at 5 AM, so I didn't get a lot of what I would call "quality sleep". Anyway, I got up very early and went downstairs in pitch black. There seemed to be a big white cloth box I had to go around to find the front door. My guide was outside. The door was locked and we could not figure out how to get it open. Everyone at the little inn was sound asleep and I was totally confused. Then, from inside the big white box, a body flew out of it! There was a 60-year-old Chinese guy inside that was sleeping until I woke him up with all my lock-manipulations. His naked limbs in the white sheets scared the bejeezus out of me and woke me right up!

And then we were on the river about 5:15. It was still completely dark outside. And I mean COMPLETELY DARK. It was a thin bamboo raft with an outboard motor.

I turned around to ask my guide, "How the heck does the boat driver know where he is going?!?"

He calmly said, "Oh, no worry. The river is very wide."

I not-calmly said, "Well, that's great and everything, but I can't even see the edge to the river!"

He calmly said, "But it is so wide."

This line of questioning was not getting me anywhere, so I just decided to sit back and enjoy my possible last moments on Earth. Then the sun started to rise, and we moved the boat over to the best bank for the angle.

Want to hear something amazing about these fishermen? You won't believe it... but maybe others can confirm this! The fishermen use these two trained cormorant birds that have their throats tied. The birds dive into the water, eat a fish, but then can't swallow it because of the rope. The fisherman rudely pulls the fish from the bird's throat and drops it into that basket behind him. The bird then goes over to a tiny keyboard and sends out the tweet, "WTF".

Coffs Harbour is a city on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, Australia, 540 km (340 mi) north of Sydney, and 390 km (240 mi) south of Brisbane. It is one of the largest urban centres on the North Coast, with a population of 78,759 as per 2021 census. The Gumbaynggirr are the original people of the Coffs Harbour region. Coffs Harbour's economy was once based on timber and agriculture. Over recent decades, tourism has become an increasingly important industry for the city. Once part of a region known as the Bananacoast, today the tourist city is part of a wider region known as the Coffs Coast. The city has a campus of Southern Cross University, and a campus of Rural Faculty of Medicine University of New South Wales, a public and a private hospital, several radio stations, and three major shopping centres. Coffs Harbour is near numerous national parks, including a marine national park. There are regular passenger flights each day to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane departing from Coffs Harbour Airport. Coffs Harbour is also accessible by road, by NSW TrainLink, and by regular bus services.

Muttonbird Island is a great spot for watching birds up close; it’s one of the only easily-accessible places in NSW where the migratory wedge-tailed shearwater nests. It is also an important Aboriginal place, harbouring stories of the Dreaming and a wealth of traditional resources. R_13986

A woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae. There are over three hundred species and thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles. Flowers vary in size and shape and are usually large and showy, in colours ranging from white through yellows and reds. Most species are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America, and northwestern Africa. Species, cultivars and hybrids are all widely grown for their beauty and often are fragrant. Roses have acquired cultural significance in many societies. Rose plants range in size from compact, miniature roses, to climbers that can reach seven meters in height. Different species hybridize easily, and this has been used in the development of the wide range of garden roses. 56298

Ibises are a group of long-legged wading birds in the family Threskiornithidae, that inhabit wetlands, forests and plains. Ibises usually feed as a group, probing mud for food items, usually crustaceans. It is widespread across much of Australia. It has a predominantly white plumage with a bare, black head, long down curved bill and black legs. They are monogamous and highly territorial while nesting and feeding. Most nest in trees, often with spoonbills or herons. Due to its increasing presence in the urban environment and its habit of rummaging in garbage, the species has acquired a variety of colloquial names such as tip turkey; and bin chicken, and in recent years has become an icon of popular culture, being regarded with passion, wit, and, in equal measure, affection and disgust.

Already one week since I spent two days and nights on the idyllic island of Espevær for a photo assignment. I'm editing some of the the photos on the train home from my first meeting and photo session with my new beautiful nephew ♡

I got so many nice photos from the island - of both children and adults fishing, rowing and having fun in the sun, of local guides and hosts, attractions, and of the delicious food and mood in the local restaurant.

Since these aren't for my private use, I took a few of the nice surroundings too to have something to show you ツ

Horses of Hacienda Zuleta by Linda Aulicino

20 5

Each morning the horses are released from their nighttime pasture. Some are pulled for trail riding, and some have the luxury of being taken to the mountain pasture. Either way, they need very little intervention, and easily go wherever they are asked. They are exceptionally well-mannered and well trained. It was the highlight of my morning to stand among them as they passed, hearing their nickers and the clip clop of their shoes along the cobblestone <3.

Horse-riding has been an integral part of Hacienda Zuleta for over a century. The ranch is home to 200 horses, 100 bred for polo and the rest for guests and farm-use.

The Zuletenos breed, a cross between Andalusian, Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse bred at Hacienda Zuleta, is also a wonderful dressage horse.

The horses are so well-mannered, obedient and eager-to-please, very responsive to the rider. Just a dream.

"Almost nothing can spook them," said José Ñoquez, local guide and master horseman, "They have a perfect disposition for trail-riding."

Riders can explore the stunning Andean countryside on a number of trails that climb to nearly 4000m above sea level.

Taquile (Spanish: Isla de Taquile; Quechua: Intika) is an island on the Peruvian side of Lake Titicaca 45 km offshore from the city of Puno.

The inhabitants, known as Taquileños, speak Puno Quechua.

Taquileños are known for their fine handwoven textiles and clothing, which are regarded as among the highest-quality handicrafts in Peru. Knitting is exclusively performed by males, beginning in early boyhood. Women spin wool and use vegetables and minerals to dye the wool to be used by the community. Women are also the weavers of the Chumpis, the wide belts with woven designs worn by everyone in the community of Taquile.

Taquileans are known for having created an innovative, community-controlled sustainable tourism model, offering home stays, transportation, lodging for groups, cultural activities, local guides and restaurants.

A cockatoo is any of the 21 parrot species belonging to the family Cacatuidae, the only family in the superfamily Cacatuoidea. Along with the Psittacoidea (true parrots) and the Strigopoidea (large New Zealand parrots), they make up the order Psittaciformes. The family has a mainly Australasian distribution, ranging from the Philippines and the eastern Indonesian islands of Wallacea to New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Australia. Cockatoos are recognisable by the prominent crests and curved bills. Their plumage is generally less colourful than that of other parrots, being mainly white, grey or black and often with coloured features in the crest, cheeks or tail. On average they are larger than other parrots; however, the cockatiel, the smallest cockatoo species, is a small bird. Cockatoos prefer to eat seeds, tubers, corms, fruit, flowers and insects. They often feed in large flocks, particularly when ground-feeding. Cockatoos are monogamous and nest in tree hollows. Some cockatoo species have been adversely affected by habitat loss, particularly from a shortage of suitable nesting hollows after large mature trees are cleared; conversely, some species have adapted well to human changes and are considered agricultural pests.

Crassula ovata, commonly known as jade plant, lucky plant, money plant or money tree, is a succulent plant with small pink or white flowers that is native to the KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape provinces of South Africa, and Mozambique; it is common as a houseplant worldwide. Much of its popularity stems from the low levels of care needed; the jade plant requires little water and can survive in most indoor conditions. It is sometimes referred to as the money tree; however, Pachira aquatica also has this nickname.

The jade plant is an evergreen with thick branches. It has thick, shiny, smooth leaves that grow in opposing pairs along the branches. Leaves are a rich jade green, although some may appear to be more of a yellow-green. Some varieties may develop a red tinge on the edges of leaves when exposed to high levels of sunlight. New stem growth is the same colour and texture as the leaves, becoming woody and brown with age.

Some sources claim that some species from the Crassulaceae family, including the jade plant are possibly toxic to horses, cats, and dogs, as well as mildly toxic to humans with skin contact, but such claims remain unproven. Crassula ovata is known to be used as medicinal plant in some regions. 37325
