Schloss Blutenburg (Blutenburg Castle) was first mentioned in 1432 though it's origins reach back to a moated castle from the 13th century.
In the years 1438–39 Duke Albert III, Duke of Bavaria rebuild the castle as a hunting-lodge.
Nowadays it houses the International Youth Library (Internationale Jugendbibliothek) and the library of the Michael Ende Museum.

A Dark-eyed Junco on a chilly day early in the year. There was snow on the ground still, if not on the branches.
I must admit to missing my time on Flickr. I'm popping in and taking a break from photo organizing, troubleshooting (as mentioned in the previous upload), and promise keeping, to catch up briefly on the wonderful shots of yours I have been missing.

Yet another view of this quarter. The Schnoor quarter is the oldest documented quarter of Bremen and it has largely preserved its medieval character.
First mentioned in the 13th century. The two oldest remaining buildings are from 1401 and 1402 respectively.

Facade of one of the ancient buildings in the Schnoor quarter. This particular building dates to 1631.
The inscription on the lintel reads: "AN GOTTES SEGEN IS ALES GELEGEN 1631" (roughly: "All depends on God's blessing")

This 'Star Cruller' is very much related to the 'Twinkle Cruller' (see first comment box), just a few creases are different.
On the left you see the 5 unit version and on the right a variation with 7 units. As mentioned before the more units assembled, the more the model looks like a star . I like a 7 pointed star ;-))
Have a nice Thursday
Paper:
Both stars are folded from a square piece of double side colored Freudenberg paper 11,5x11,5cm.
Final size:
- 5unit Star: diameter 12xm, height 2cm
- 7unit Star: diameter 14cm, height 0,5cm
Model : Origami 'Star Cruller' and variation

As I have mentioned in comments on pictures of others, I am fascinated by the fluid movement of cats in the wild, including the big cats.
None moves more elegantly than a leopard.

Have you noticed how pristine seabirds keep themselves
In breeding season, they live on cliff ledges festooned with thousands of other birds yet manage to look as if there's not a feather out of place
This one was almost asking for his photo to appear here on Flickr. The catwalk model of Bempton Cliffs, with it's beautiful blue eyes
Obviously this one has escaped the horrid bird flu and hasn't endured the change of eye colour, as my previous post
Recall I mentioned a "funny encounter" in the Surge Forward post?
After crossing Surge Flow in Great Sand Dune National Park, we passed a photog taking photos for his family with a "real camera" - a rare sight these days.
We rushed up to the sandhill as we were losing the light fast.
(It was quite strenuous to walk fast on the sand dunes. 😨 Phew!)
The disappointing flat lighting on the dunes was not what I had expected. I kept asking myself what I should and what I could do to make it work. I composed and recomposed, moved from here to there, thinking and re-thinking, shooting away with both the regular and wide lenses.
Suddenly I heard someone say something like "Hi, you must be a professional!" to me. The speaker was none other than that photog whom I passed down the hill.
Once he got my attention, he said (non-verbatim): "I don't know what to do, the lights are so dull here, nothing like what I saw in the magazines. You look like a professional, so I've been following you, pointing my camera to the same direction as yours, and wondering if you have any advice for me."
LOL, I guess the white big 100-500mm zoom lens made me look like a real deal!
I told him I was no professional and that I was just concentrating on getting good compositions to compensate for the lack of good light.
However, I did have one piece of advice for him: "No need to follow me, for you'd be wasting your time!"
Have a wonderful day/night!
The castle is first mentioned in documents dated 1554. In 1614 it was converted into a hunting lodge. Kasteel Bouvigne borders on a beautiful garden. Nothing is known of landscape gardening in the16th century. The present garden is open to the public and integrates French, German and English styles of the 20th century. Bouvigne castle is a charming building outside Breda, in the Mastbos forest. Its present look dates mainly from the 17th century. For a long time, the princes of Orange used it as their summer house. The castle, that stands in the water, was built in a typical renaissance style. Its beautiful gardens are open to the public.

I found this page about Croham Hurst in general, that mentions these Scott's pines:
www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=7588
The pines are apparently arranged around the perimeter of a Neolithic/Bronze Age Round Barrow.
Some of the comments on the web page mention ley lines and pet dogs not wanting to go near the pines..
Interesting stuff if you like that kind of thing!
As I mentioned in the last post Bell Rock depicted here resides next to Courthouse Butte so this shot logically follows my last, speaking of logic have a gander at the people high up on this monument. While the grey day made for a great photos it also was on the verge of rain and these intrepid climbers seem oblivious to the fact that water makes for a bad climbing buddy. This 500+ foot climb is easy going up, so much so that people find themselves in predicaments on the way down they never intended while making the climb up.

The oldest mention of Huva Ten Berghe dates from 1483. In 1700 it was bought by baron Willem Jan van Dedem, who had a new house built in its place together with his wife Gerbregt van Delen. This was completed in 1705. The house was restored in 1985. The house takes its name from a river dune nearby.
Just want to mention that this is not an actual church anymore. It's an empty structure.
Info from the Internet:
The Old Stone Church was built in the early 1890s to replace the Baptist church which had been lost in a fire. Hardly 10 years later, it had to be abandoned for the reservoir. Because it was built of stone and was clearly going to be a scenic attraction, the commonwealth was persuaded by townsfolk to let it remain. It stands alone on a point of land by the side of the water as a reminder of what was lost to the reservoir.
The Old Stone Church Site is open to the public and can be visited from 1 hour before sunrise to 1 hour after sunset. It is located on Beaman Street.
NOTE:
The Church is managed by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation.
I mentioned in my first shot this morning how Sandy Bay is one of the first of Hobart's suburbs to be cast into shadow as the sun sets behind Mount Wellington / kunanyi. This photograph is a good illustration of that.
But what appealed to me in taking this shot was that sliver of light that illuminated the historic precinct of Battery Point. Right at the centre is the tower of the historic St George's Church.
The oldest mention of Twickel is in 1347, when Herman van Twickelo bought the house Eysinck near Delden. This house later became Twickel Castle. The last owner has transferred Twickel to a foundation that still manages the property.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
De oudste vermelding van Twickel is in 1347, als Herman van Twickelo het huis Eysinck bij Delden koopt. Dit huis wordt het latere kasteel Twickel. De laatste eigenares heeft Twickel overgedaan aan een stichting, die nu nog de bezittingen beheert.
Once there was a man with good intentions
And some people at home he forgot to mention
She was looking for a friend and he was willing to listen
Once there was a man with good intentions
And nobody has to know
It's all right, it's all right to let go
And nobody has to see
What's between you and me
Is you and me
(Is you and me)
Once there was a girl who thought she needed to be saved
By a white knight on a white horse in a white cape
Maybe he's taken but you'll take him anyway
Once there was a girl who thought shе needed to be saved
And nobody has to know
It's all right, it's all right to lеt go
And nobody has to see
What's between you and me
Is you and me
(Is you and me)
I don't wanna change your mind
But I don't wanna go home tonight
Tell me no or I'm coming over
Let the devil make a deal with the angel on your shoulder
À l’époque mérovingienne et carolingienne, le mont Aimé apparaît dans les premières chroniques. La Chronique châlonnaise fait déjà mention d'une forteresse en 450. On y lit que saint Alpin, évêque de Châlons, voulant soustraire la population réfugiée aux violences des soldats d'Attila, la conduisit au mont Aimé.
Le mont Aimé est également appelé mont d'Hautefeuille lorsque Griffon et Ganelon, comtes d'Hautefeuille, surnommés les « loups d'Hautefeuille », firent de ce mont un repaire. C'est sur ce mont qu'en 877 Louis II le Bègue, fils aîné de Charles le Chauve, assembla les États et se fit proclamer roi.
En 1210 la comtesse Blanche de Navarre, veuve de Thibaut III de Champagne et mère de Thibaut IV de Champagne, dit le Chansonnier fit construire le château du Mont-Aimé.
Le vendredi 13 mai 1239, 183 hommes et femmes convaincus de catharisme furent brûlés sur le bûcher sur ordre de Robert le Bougre, en présence de nombreux évêques et d'une foule immense. Le mont Guimar était déjà dénoncé comme lieu d'hérésie par la lettre de l'évêque de Liège au Pape Lucius II en 1144.
Aux xive et xve siècles, la puissante forteresse se transforma en château-demeure.
Le comté de Vertus fut créé par Jean le Bon en 1360, à partir des seigneuries de Vertus, Rosnay, Moymer et La Ferté-sur-Aube en comté, pour en faire la dot de sa fille Isabelle de France à l'occasion de son mariage avec Jean Galéas Visconti. La prisée du comté fut faite en 136615. À la fin du xve siècle, le comté de Vertus passa à une branche bâtarde des ducs de Bretagne.
Au cours de la guerre de Cent Ans, le château subit trois sièges menés par les Anglais, alliés des Bourguignons :
le premier, d'octobre 1423 à juillet 1424, durant lequel le capitaine Caignard défendait le château contre Jean de Neufchâtel, sire de Montagu et Guillaume de Chatillon ; le capitaine finit par se rendre et par livrer le château ;
le deuxième siège eut lieu de janvier à février 1426 ; le parti bourguignon tenait de nouveau le château, Jean de Neufchâtel revenait y mettre le siège avec Jean de Luxembourg ;
pour le troisième, de mars 1426 à mars 1427, le parti Armagnac ayant, par surprise, repris la place, les Anglais revinrent et comme précédemment mirent à contribution Reims et Chalons pour les frais et matériaux. Une fois prises, il fut décidé de détruire ces places fortes, Mont Aimé et Vertus, qui avaient trop résisté.
À la fin de la guerre, il fut décidé de détruire le château. Les dernières superstructures disparurent en 1800.
Heusden is a fortified city in the Dutch municipality of Heusden (province of Noord-Brabant), located on the Bergsche Maas. It has approximately 1,325 inhabitants (2019).
The first mention of Heusden dates from 722, as Hunsata Super Fluvium Mosam. In 839 the place would have been destroyed by the Normans.
Several disasters have occurred in Heusden. In 1569 the city was besieged by the Spaniards and completely destroyed. The city was hit by plague several times.
I mentioned a couple of days ago that the black turnstone is currently in transformation and that I had captured perhaps the "start" of their Summer Plumage which include larger patches of white in their face and maybe their chest too.... I do not think that the transformation is going much further than this but I will continue to monitor if I have a chance. The image of the black turnstone taken earlier in the year is linked underneath for easier reference for those interested in a comparison.
This photo was taken from the boat tour to Spirit Island ( few photos back )...as mentioned there too, you aren't able to hike to the island, so the only way is by tour boat, canoe or kayak! ... seeing these 2 in a canoe, looked so peaceful against this magnificent mountain background. There is barely anyone around except the tour boats that go by...so you must really feel alone at one with nature..and I think this photo really shows how small we are in this world.
one day I would love to try the canoe to Spirit Island. It only takes half a day to get there!!:), I think I read 4-6 hours each way depending on your experience, as such need to plan ahead and start really early! however bathroom break on way = possible wildlife encounter !! lol....
have a great day!☀️💛
I have to mention folks that yesterday's outing was ok and nothing like the last one, but I'll take whatever I can get. This guy was just so cooperative I just stayed with him.
I cannot tell you enough how much I appreciated your visits and kind words, never thought that Flickr would ever correct my issues.
Back from the cottage gentrification project ready for the season and our isolation oasis I hope that you enjoy the continuation of my re-edit visit to the Netherlands from fall 2017 to continue on unabated until arriving in Amsterdam for my final post in the series.
Thanks for all the supportive comments on this Dutch Masters process development and those that just like to have something trying to be a little distracting in their feed other than today’s current events,
my goal is to hopefully trigger a memory or the want of a memory of someplace you would like to be.
As mentioned before my short break, Delft is where we will pick up my reverse chronological order Dutch revisit, captured here is what I thought to be Vermeer’s corner but now upon some reflection realize it is not his view but it is a view of Delft just the same and not a bad one.
Delft is an easy day trip from almost any location in the Netherlands making it an excellent day trip, the core is easily walkable, chock full of historic treasures, wonderful shops, warm cafes and beautiful views and should not be missed.
I took this on Sept 17th, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 58mm 1/40s, f/16 ISO 100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , Luminar and DXO

Our trip we could, as already mentioned wg. Storm and heavy rains are delayed, but somehow there is a good side to everything - due to one of the heaviest rains Madeira had ever experienced, roads were partly blocked due to Landslides or falling rocks blocked - we couldn't do our original hike along the Levada Pinaculu like this either - but the alternative we did from Encumeada was a hit - with some waterfalls and these filled to the brim - rather unusual for mid-June...
Unsere Reise konnten wir, wie schon erwähnt wg. Sturm und starken Regenfällen nur verspätet antreten, aber alles hat auch irgendwie eine gute Seite - durch einen der stärksten Regenfälle, die Madeira je erlebt hatte, waren zum Teil Straßen wg. Erdrutschen oder Steinschlag gesperrt - auch unsere ursprüngliche Wanderung entlang der Levada Pinaculu konnten wir so nicht machen - die Alternative, die wir von Encumeada unternahmen war aber der Hit - mit einigen Wasserfällen und diese prall gefüllt - für Mitte Juni eher ungewöhnlich...

As I have mentioned in a prior posting I tend to wander off the beaten track traveling and will hang out where the locals live if possible, I don’t mind sticking my head through a fence or gate if necessary when I see a shot worth taking.
This shot was on a street I had thought had no shot opportunities and its only purpose in my mind was to get me elsewhere, when I walked by this perfect scene behind a wrought iron gate.
I am a very big researcher for my trips I tend to have planned everything down to the letter with multiple options for closure, weather and mood, that is my process when I have this framework in place I can relax and operate as loosely as I like to do whatever strikes my fancy at the time.
Always make some time for the unexpected otherwise you will miss some amazing opportunities for connecting with the locals and locale, stop and smell the proverbial roses and experience the true flavor of a place.

Have I ever mentioned the tiny terror of our rockpools, the blue ringed octopus? Our wild coastline is home to a variety of marine life, including some fascinating but potentially dangerous creatures. Among these is the blue-ringed octopus, a tiny but deadly inhabitant of our rock pools.
Despite its tiny size and vibrant colors (check out google images, they are quite fascinating), the blue-ringed octopus is one of the most venomous creatures in the ocean. Its bite, often painless, can deliver a potent neurotoxin capable of paralysing and killing a human within minutes.
Here are some fun facts about these cuddly little occy's:
Deadly Dose: A single blue-ringed octopus carries enough venom to kill 26 adult humans.
Aggressive Nature: They are known for their aggressive behavior, especially when threatened.
Dual-Purpose Venom: They possess two types of venom: one for hunting prey and another for defense.
Non-Contact Kill: It's believed that they can incapacitate prey by releasing venom into the water, eliminating the need for a direct bite.
Rare Encounters: Fortunately, attacks on humans are relatively rare. When exploring rock pools, if you encounter one, admire it from a safe distance and avoid touching it.
Anyone want to join me for a splash in this rock pool ? ;)
Many thanks for every fave and comment, I appreciate them all!
St Mary's is next to the coastal salt marshes. Domesday Book mentions it and a substantial part of the existing church dates to those times - the 11th Century.
Nave view:s

Externally, the flint tower's tapering base is probably Saxon and is topped by a cylindrical Norman construction suggesting that it was completed after the Norman Conquest. St Mary's great attraction is its quaint Medieval 'spirelet' of lead coated timber frame. Outside view of tower and 'spirelet'
Łęczyca is a city in central Poland, mentioned in the Chronicle of Gall Anonim written in 1112-1116.
As in every city, its central square is the Town Square with the Town Hall in the middle. The whole market has been beautifully renovated in recent years, and is a major tourist attraction for visitors to this city.

Łęczyca to miasto w centralnej Polsce, wymieniane w Kronice Galla Anonima spisanej w latach 1112–1116.
Jak w każdym mieście, jego centralnym placem jest Rynek miejski z Ratuszem na środku. Całość rynku została w ostatnich latach pięknie odnowiona, i stanowi dużą atrakcję turystyczną dla odwiedzających to miasto.
I have mentioned before that Charlie loves being outdoors on the roof terrace. He has a balcony in his home too but it is smaller and lacks plants. Charlie really enjoys inspecting the all plants here and his favourite is definitely the zebra grass. I took several photos of him with this grass and you will probably see some more in the near future. :)

14th to 17th centuries Castle Wijchen is first mentioned in a written source in 1392. The earliest castle probably dates from the middle of the 14th century.
The castle has passed through the hands of many different families. In the middle of the 14th century it belonged to the family Van Galen, in 1536 it passed into the ownership of the lords of Batenburg. By then the castle had been thoroughly sacked at least once. The rebuilding is likely to have been the initiative of one of the lords of the manor of Batenburg (the Bronkhorst family), but the castle was only completed at the beginning of the 17th century. The responsibility for the completion of the current castle lies with the royal couple Princess Emilia van Nassau en Don Emanuel van Portugal.
17th to 20th centuries: In 1609 Emila, daughter of Prince Willem of Orange, bought the castle. It was some time before she moved in. First she had the castle extensively renovated. The money for this enterprise came partly from the sale of an extremely valuable pearl necklace. Emanuel was without prospects and a catholic. Because of this he and Emila had not received permission to marry from the government or Prince Maurits. They had eloped together, and thus had a long and rather difficult love story behind them by the time they came to Wijchen. Many of the decorations on the building are references to their struggle to be united together in marriage, such as the beam fixings in the form of a closed ‘S’ which stand for the French ‘fermesse’ – fidelity.
Emilia died in 1629 and the castle was eventually sold by her children to Philips van Nassau, lord of Grimhuizen near Breda. Having passed through the hands of a further thee families, the castle and estate came into the possession of the Osy family in 1771
The heirs of Baron J.J.R. d’Osy put the castle up for sale in the summer of 1903. It was bought by the honourable A.W. van Andringa de Kempenaer from Den Haag for 26,850 guilders.
As a result of a fire in one of the chimneys on the evening of December 5th 1906 the castle was gutted. Only the walls remained – the entire interior, furniture, books and works of art fell victim to the flames. However in a very short time the castle was completely restored under guidance of the Nijmeegse architect F.A. Ludewig. By 1908 Castle Wijchen had risen phoenix like from the ashes.
After the death of Miss van Andringa de Kempenaer in 1926 the castle passed to her nephews. They tried to sell it in 1932, but their were no buyers because of the economic crisis of the time. Spurred on by the mayor, the municipality of Wijchen bought the castle for the sum of 32,000 guilders. Since that time the castle has been the official meeting house for the council, and every resident of Wijchen is also ‘owner’.
21st century: The future looks rosy for the castle. Renovated in the 1990s the castle has housed, since 1996, Museum Castle Wijchen and the chief meeting room and wedding salon of the municipality of Wijchen. The Museum is situated on the second floor of the castle, and also makes use of a part of the castle gardens. The museum has collections of archaeology and modern art, with both permanent and temporary exhibitions as well as a regional history exhibit about the five castles within the parish. In the garden of the castle is Museum Garden ‘De Tuun’ with historic crops and herbs.
As mentioned in the previous photo the rescheduling of 31 has meant the benefit of 36 getting a free run in to Burnie. Although the opportunities are not as great it does however give some new locations during the best lighting of the day. But of course the prize is yet more photos of TR's. Yes sometimes I wonder why I still bother !!.

The first mention of Middachten appears in the year 1190, and although the castle dates from the early Middle Ages, the house in its present form was built towards the end of the 17th century and still includes some medieval parts. Middachten is unique in that it is still a real, working estate. Besides the castle, park and gardens, the estate also includes farms, woods and agricultural land.
Middachten has never been sold but has always passed from one generation to another. As a result of this, the interior of the castle is complete and still has many of the original household effects, including a large collection of portraits and much 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th century furniture. The castle also has the original cupboards filled with collections of china, silver and glass-wear, and antique linen. The management of the estate is in the hands of the 25th Lord of Middachten, Count zu Ortenburg.
Your wedding at Middachten Castle would be an unforgettable experience for you and your guests. You would be welcomed at the castle steps from where you would be led through the vestibule with its beautiful staircase to the great hall. Here an official from the Rheden Borough Council would conduct the civil wedding ceremony. The gardens around the castle form a wonderful location for your wedding photographs.
As mentioned in a few of my previous shared images, I did go for a long outing on Stephen's Day as one could not do that for both Christmas Eve or Day. It was coming down in bucketfuls. This is the way down to the 6th Hole Tee box of the Bunclody Golf Course and unfortunately the River Slaney decided to break her banks and encroach onto the course, including submerging the Tee box.
The start of our new weather serie.
Cumulus Humilis clouds
Cumulus clouds mostly form as a result of localized pockets of warm air rising.
Cumulus humilis is the smallest form of cumulus clouds and results from relatively weak convection (humilis means humble in Latin). This produces clouds that generally have flat bases and small, rounded tops. Technically, a cumulus cloud is considered to be a humilis formation if it is wider than it is tall, as estimated by an observer on the ground. The height of these type of clouds is about 500 tot 1000 meter or 2000 to 3500 feet. It's unusual that rain falls out of these type of clouds.
Attention friends, we've got ourselves another one who'se taking our pictures, with a link to 500px, but not mentioning where it came from: www.flickr.com/photos/michaelhaupt/14632815455/in/photoli...:
Cette vue est prise à un peu plus de 2000 mètres d'altitude, depuis le dernier petit bois de mélèzes avant la rampe ultime qui donne accès au col de la Gardette (2125 mètres). Le sentier traverse des champs de neige encore épaisse qui le plus souvent supporte le poids du marcheur, mais parfois se dérobe, le forçant à extraire la jambe profondément enfoncée.
On distingue de gauche à droite : le Piolit, partiellement caché derrière les arbres, le col de Chorges, et sous les Parias, le Grand Cognet de Combe d'Enfer -- je mentionne ces lieux pour leur caractère évocateur !

Thick fog this morning new It would be worth getting out early before it vanished........
Looking at the rear of Syon House, my back to the Thames, this tree is believed to be a Capability Brown remnant.
Syon House, and its 200-acre (80 hectare) park, Syon Park, is in west London, historically within the parish of Isleworth, in the county of Middlesex. It belongs to the Duke of Northumberland and is now his family's London residence.

The original castle, probably wooden, is first mentioned in 1260. The rich history of the castle, of more than seven centuries, boasts glorious periods as well as darker ones. Nowadays, Doorwerth Castle shines in all its 17th century glory, including a gatehouse, coach house and stables. The Acacia tree is more than 300 years old.
