And sorry, due to flickr's inability to properly save local language tags since late Sept. 2022 and no fix in sight (no UTF-8 support in tags, it appears only characters from the stone-age "Code Page 437" work correctly), the tags are incomplete - most Chinese tags do cause flickr's tag parser to create gibberish in the following tags.
to fortify our memory and reconstruct the narrative of our personal adventures. They’re a way of proving to ourselves, especially when we’re feeling dull, that we’ve led interesting lives and have always been surrounded by people who cared for us. They’re also a way of keeping at bay the perception that life is fleeting and we can’t hold onto the past :-)

Nowadays since they are protected birds they definitely have their saying in the neighbourhood. They act in group and even the buzzards are chased away around here !!
Nowadays, Groundhogs are very popular on February 2 every year, but the above question arises in respect of remainder of the year. Here is an example.
This one, which I take to be a female, lives at the base of this stump on our property and eats grass and weeds, mostly nocturnally. In the evenings, she frequently basks in the setting sun on this wheel, which is well removed from any buildings. It would be nice to gain some influence with her and to affect her predictions, but she seems nice but is socially remote and camera shy, so we have no relationship.
Nowadays, I'm too much busy, not just work.....Sometimes visiting your photo/s are lately but I had to....Thanks....

picnics, phone calls, dates, flowers, letters, late night drives for nothing, things people call "corny" nowadays" ❤️️
Thankyou in advance for your support, faves, comments and awards!
I do appreciate you all ❤️
Nowadays, there are only 8 apostles left. Due to the continuing erosion that effects, not just the limestone stacks, but the coastal land, the current cliffs are expected to eventually become rock stacks.
It is the first time I have ever visited when there was absolutely no people around, usually it's very difficult to get a spot to take a photo here!
See photo below...
Many thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves, very much appreciated.
Winter in São Paulo at the moment
23°C / 73°F
Nowadays it is still little known, but now it is being very commercialized, at least at CEAGESP (Market in São Paulo) I found several seedlings, they call succulent hedgehog.
This succulent caught my attention for its beauty. With a more delicate appearance, it certainly appears to be fragile, but on the contrary. Its rosette is very dense and can reach 10cm in height. The leaves are fleshy, dark blue-green, covered with tiny hairs. When kept in full sun, it intensifies its color, appearing black and keeps the rosettes denser and more compact.
Why choose this succulent at the time of arrangement? Firstly, it reproduces on the sides, which after some time fills a basin with several dense rosettes, secondly its color is very beautiful which gives a contrast of texture and interesting color in the arrangement.
The buds start to appear in summer, bright red in color, but with small white flowers, remaining for a few weeks.
The name "Sinocrassula" means "Chinese crassula". They come from the Yunnan province in the south of China, and also from the north of Burma. They grow at an altitude between 2,500 and 2,700 m
Synocrassula Yunnanesis prefers colder than warmer places. Remember that full sun does not mean hot places. What is easier to be cultivated in southern Brazil, due to our more tropical climate.
The Lofoten islands are one of those creations of our Planet which are a double edged sword. they are of unbelievable natural beauty which we nowadays admire from the commodity of a well made road and a 4x4 car. But the lives of the locals have been extremely tough for centuries, so they are enjoying their hard gained comforts with pride.
Ursprünglich wurde das Wasserschloss als Unterkunft und Werkstatt für die Hafenarbeiter genutzt, welche die Wartung und Reparatur der hydraulischen Speicherwinden ausführten. Sie wurden Windenwärter bzw. Windenwächter genannt und hatten – neben anderem technischen Personal – das Privileg, in der Speicherstadt wohnen zu dürfen.
Die Winden waren ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Speicherhäuser: Es gab – und gibt bis heute – keine Lastenaufzüge. Sämtliche Waren wurden mit Winden außen an den Fassaden zu bzw. von den Lagerböden der Speicher gezogen.
Die für die Wartungsarbeiten erforderlichen, zum Teil schweren Ersatzteile konnten von hier aus über die Straßen und Kanäle transportiert werden. Auf dem Wasserweg über zwei Kräne an der Ostseite des Gebäudes, zu Land über eine alte Pflasterstraße, die direkt in das Gebäude führt und hinter den großen Flügeltüren des Wasserschlösschens endet.
Heutzutage wird das Gebäude gewerblich genutzt. Im Erdgeschoss befindet sich eine Gewerbefläche für Teehandel mit angeschlossener Gastronomie. In der ersten Etage ist ein Anbieter für Sauerstofftherapie ansässig. Wegen seiner Lage und Architektur diente es auch als Kulisse für Fernsehproduktionen, beispielsweise für die TV-Kinderserie „Die Pfefferkörner“.
Das Wasserschlösschen firmiert außerdem als „Außentraustelle“ des Standesamts Hamburg–Mitte.
Originally the moated castle was used as a shelter and workshop for the dockers, who carried out the maintenance and repair of the hydraulic storage winches. They were called Windenwächter or Windenwächter and had - in addition to other technical personnel - the privilege to live in the Speicherstadt.
The winches were an important component of the storage buildings: there were - and still are today - no freight elevators. All goods were drawn with winches on the outside to the facades to or from the storage floors of the store.
The spare parts required for the maintenance work, some of them heavy, could be transported from here over the roads and canals. On the waterway over two cranes on the east side of the building, on land over an old paved road that leads directly into the building and ends behind the large double doors of the water castle.
Nowadays the building is used commercially. On the ground floor there is a commercial space for tea trade with attached gastronomy. On the first floor, a provider of oxygen therapy is located. Because of its location and architecture, it also served as a backdrop for television productions, such as the TV series "Die Pfefferkörner".
The Wasserschlösschen also trades under the name "Außenentraustelle" of the registry office Hamburg-Mitte.
Nowadays when the smartphone is like an extension of the hand is so unusual to see children having fun in playing chess in the mall.

The ruins of Château de Domfront - which are situated in a park nowadays.
The fortification began as a fort built of wood built on this hill - which has quite a stunning view over the surrounding area - in the 11th century. It belonged to William the Conqueror and his family, and as such went to several later English kings. King John (Lackland) lost Normandy to the French, but this castle was his personal property - it was given to Philip I, Count of Boulogne, and then left to his daughter Jeanne, but she died without issue and the castle went to the French crown. The place saw continuous fighting throughout the Middle Ages (including being besieged during the Hundred Years' War by the English). The castle was ordered to be demolished in 1608 by Maximilien de Béthune, Duke of Sully.
The place has been labelled as a "Monument historique" since 1875.
"Rapunzel, Rapunzel,
Let down your hair to me."
Immediately the hair fell down and the king’s son climbed up.
Nowadays the modern Rapunzel has a staircase in her tower...
"Rapunzel, Rapunzel,

Unverzüglich fiel ihr Haar herab und der Königssohn kletterte hinauf.
Heutzutage hat die moderne Rapunzel eine Treppe in ihrem Turm...

Nikon FM2 with a Nikkor 50/1.8 and Fuji Velvia 50 - "SOOC"
Finally I made it, sorting out my old slides. The colours of Fuji Velvia 50 are wonderful. I wondered, how good the quality is after scanning. This is so to say a SOOC picture. After seeing so many photos taken with film nowadays, I'm playing with the thought of reactivating my old Nikon FM2 and shoot some films.
Ostgals (“Port end”) district west of Old Town is a collection of low rise homes. Some of them are especially old (as are the narrow cobbled streets). Once the district was inhabitted by dock workers, but today it is also liked by the local elite.
A quiet part of Ventspils, which began to form after the invitation expressed by the Russian government in 1836 and the announced advantages for the surrounding farmers to settle down in the dune belt, in order to prevent the city from becoming dusty with sand. Also it has been a village for fishermen. Nowadays, it is a unique, romantic environment with cobbled quiet streets, attractive 19th century. wooden construction and essential pelargoniums in the windows. Ostgal has been recognized as a monument of urban construction of national importance. In 2009, after a large-scale reconstruction, the city's Theater House "Jūras vārti" provides a buzz in Ostgal. Throughout the year there will be concerts, exhibitions, theater performances, celebrations and balls.
This is from a walloon ironworks environment.
Walloon ironworks is a collective name for a number of industrial communities in northern Uppland, constructed in the 1600s.
A financier, Louis De Geer in Amsterdam, imported labor to Sweden, Walloons of Wallonia in southern Belgium current, which was then a world leader in the iron industry. Walloon ironworks in Sweden came in this way to become the world leader by, among other things because of the high quality of the iron ore from the Dannemora mines.
This was the foundation for the industrialization of the farming community Sweden.
The ironworks was strictly limited. The workers were given housing, food, education, healthcare, but few opportunities to move. For each work home was a building for livestock as cattle, pigs, chickens.
Nowadays, it is an industrial memory of an era that is almost forgotten.

When vultures discover the "carcasses" first, the pack of hyenas does not have much respect in front of them and will immediately drive them away from the body. The vultures then stand nearby and sometimes "test" to see if the hyenas would let them grab their share. Daredevils who have gotten too close, however, hyenas uncompromisingly report to a greater distance. From the moment the four-legged scavengers are full and the vultures finally have a free field of action, there are often only a few tens of minutes left to completely eliminate the remnants of the meat.

When we nowadays hear or read the word bookmark, we usually think of it in relation with an Browser on our computers and mobilephones for our visit in the world wide web. But there used to be a time when this word was standing for use only for books. And this is how our tiny little helpers still use it in their little world. A nice Dragon brass bookmark is a great place for my tiny friend to sit down, relax and read for a little while. :)

Farming yesteryear enthusiast's keenly ploughing as in olden days
A ploughing match is a contest between people who each plough part of a field. Nowadays there are usually classes for horse-drawn ploughs and for tractor ploughing. Points are awarded for straightness and neatness of the resulting furrows.
Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

urteile selbst ...
nowadays the world is small and apparently all-inclusive information ... so I am even asked by friends from other countries about the Mondrian picture, which has hung upside down for years in a museum in Düsseldorf.
Supposedly it can't be changed now because the public got used to it and maybe the glue won't hold anymore if you turn it the right way ...
what do you think ? on the right hangs the original version, on the left the now retained wrong hanging ...
heutzutage ist die Welt klein und anscheinend allumfassend informiert ... so werde ich selbst von Freunden aus anderen Ländern auf das Mondrianbild angesprochen, das falsch herum über Jahre im Museum in Düsseldorf gehangen hat, angesprochen.
Angeblich kann es jetzt nicht mehr geändert werden, weil das Publikum sich daran gewöhnt hat und vielleicht der Kleber nicht mehr hält, wenn man es richtig dreht ...
was meint ihr ? rechts hängt die Originalfassung, links die jetzt beibehaltene falsche Hängung ...

ZAANSTAD - nowadays amalgamates a number of smaller towns and villages, which have their origins in Late Middle Ages. The Zaan river connects the centre of Noord-Holland to the IJ river and Amsterdam, and on both sides of the river villages sprung up that soon became involved in all kinds of industrial activities. Most activity was concentrated on the west side of the river, where in the 17th century a string of small towns grew into the first industrial area in the world. Hundreds of windmills were employed to produce all kinds of produce like flour, timber, paints and oil for the city of Amsterdam - at the time the largest port of the world. While the Zaan Region lost much of its importance in the 18th century, it became the centre of Dutch food industry in the late 19th and 20th century.
In front the Voorzaan, left the Harbour with its Historic Ships.

ENG: A backyard view with many corners, edges and reflections in the middle of the Berlin district Mitte. I discovered this large backyard by chance while walking along the Spree river near the Friedrichstraße Structure suburban train station and was immediately thrilled by the sight of the architecture and the view of the sky.
Why "Am Zirkus"? Because that's the name of the street by the building today. ☻ The street was actually called Markthallenstraße when it was built in 1865, but it was quickly renamed. Because the market hall was an economic failure. In 1873, the "Markthallen-Circus" (later taken over by the Circus Renz) opened in the building, whereupon the street was renamed, first Am Circus, since 1903 in the current spelling. Nowadays, of course, the market hall is history and in the same place stands a new building since 2014 in which there is also a hotel.

GER: Ein Hinterhof Ausblick mit vielen Ecken, Kanten und Spiegelungen inmitten des Berliner Bezirks Mitte. Ich habe diesen großen Hinterhof durch Zufall entdeckt beim Spaziergang an der Spree nahe des S-Bahnhofs Friedrichstraße und war sofort begeistert von dem Anblick der Architektur und dem Ausblick in den Himmel.
Warum „Am Zirkus“? Weil die heutige Straße am Gebäude so heißt. ☻ Eigentlich hieß die Straße bei ihrer Erbauung 1865 mal Markthallenstraße. diese wurde aber schnell umbenannt. Da die Markthalle ein wirtschaftlicher Misserfolg war. 1873 eröffnete in dem Gebäude der „Markthallen-Circus“ (später vom Circus Renz übernommen), woraufhin die Straße umbenannt wurde, zunächst Am Circus, seit 1903 in der heutigen Schreibweise. Heutzutage ist die Markthalle natürlich Geschichte und an selbige stelle steht seit 2014 ein Neubau in dem sich auch ein Hotel befindet.

In Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption, in Sainte-Mère-Église, Normandy.
The church shows both a lot of Romanesque and Gothic features (dating from 11th to 13th century), the exterior being very Romanesque and the interior showing signs of later redecorations in the Gothic style.
Today the church is a very popular tourist destination - because this is the church where the paratrooper John Steele got caught in the tower with his parachute during the D-Day landings, and spent some time dangling there (an ordeal he actually survived). Nowadays he is replaced be a dummy - to the great joy of tourists.
The big window is post-World War II, showing Saint Michael, the Archangel, and the insignia of the allied units that fought in the area.

Tungurahua, Ecuador's 10th-highest peak, is a 5,016 meters (16,456 ft) high active stratovolcano also known as the "The Black Giant." It has a 600 ft. (183 m) wide crater. Most of the volcano is covered by snow.
Don't be fooled by descriptions of this mountain as "easy." People have died on this mountain and you need to be in good physical condition to climb it and enjoy it.
It is nowadays dangerous to climb (since 1999) as its increased volcanic activity has unpredictable eruptions as a consequence. You do not want to be caught on the volcano when major explosions of gases, ashes and lava occur.
When the volcano increased its activity in 1999, the ice cap melted away and the peak is since then ice free.
In spite of this many people still attempt to climb the volcano. ALWAYS check with locals about the mountains condition.

The trail, from the Park Entrance, to the Refugio is obvious and well-marked but fairly steep and takes 3-4 hours.

Nowadays everyone has a wallet, but in the past it was different.
A money bag was seen as poor, not something for ladies and gentlemen.
Ladies and gentlemen did not do their business via the money bag.
The oldest known wallet was found with Otzi the Iceman who lived around 3000 years before Christ.
A small leather hip bag was found with him.

This piece of national architecture of 19th Century relates to south of Polavshchyna and that as of nowadays has disappeared. It was built in 70th of 19th Century.
The house from Revasivka village has never been reconstructed since it had been built. Its window frames were re-made in the mid-50th of 20th Century. The walls are decorated with clay of different color; inside there is a carved cupboard, painted trunk and national pictures in interior.
The house from Revazivka village was discovered in 1976 by an architect Lukianchuk V.D. and restored in the Museum in 1977-1978.
Few words about Revazivka village, as it were never mentioned in modern sources. In the middle of 19th Century, this village was called Novakivka and belonged to Ploshchanska volost of Poltava povit in Poltava hubernia.
It was a village of a proprietor, with 179 souls in 18 yards. Officially, Revazivka is called sloboda. There were 219 inhabitants in 44 homesteads.
Nowadays, the village of Revazivka has joined to Grekopavlivka village. It now relates to Stovbynska village council in Novosanzharskyi district of Poltavska Region.
The house is of two rooms (a home, a mudroom), of combined structure. A two-room house could be met only in poor villages belonging to proprietors. A three-room house was more traditional for Poltava area.
The house is built on piles. Above the windows, piles are covered with shingles. A longitudinal ceiling beam and upper parts of piles have tips on sidewall adjacent to the stove, so forming reasonable overlap of the roof. A lumber lay on tips to support auxiliary beams of the roof. Ceiling comprises ceiling beam and slyzhni. The slyzhni are surfaced by caber, and then covered with clay.
The four-slope roof of the house is low, supported by rafters and covered with cane sheaves, as there were a lot of cane in the waterlog river valley near Revazivka.
Combines, log and framework structure of a national dwelling on south Poltavshchyna was typical of this region, poor in building wood.
Especially interesting was filling of this house’s framework walls: there were twiggen with mullein. This grass grew high near Revazivka, and had strong stems. The local say: “Even shipworms never eat mullein”.
This is a house of two rooms (a home and a mudroom) with framework and log walls. Under the windows, walls are framework: horizontal hlytsi are nailed to vertical piles, with osier between them. Above the windows, planks of three parts are fixed to piles. A longitudinal ceiling beam is fixed thereto and two transverse ones (one in the home, another – in the mudroom). The longitudinal beam and tops of planks have overlaps on sidewall, adjacent to the stove, so forming reasonable overlap of the roof. Inside and outside, the house is clayed and whitewashed, except for back wall, only clayed. The house stays now on concrete basement.
Area – 53.92 square meters (5.15 x 10.47).
Хата з с. Ревазівка, Новосанжарського р-ну, Полтавської обл.
Пам′ятка традиційного народного будівництва XIX століття в південній Полтавщині, яких на даний момент в регіоні не існує. Побудована в 70 – ті роки ХІХ століття.
Хата з с. Ревазівка від її існування не перебудовувалася. У середині 50-х років ХХ століття перероблені віконні рами. Підводка стін кольоровими глинами, різьблений мисник, мальована скриня, народний живопис в інтер’єрі.
Хата с. Ревазівка виявлена в 1976 році архітектором Лук′янчуком В.Д. і реставрована в Музеї у 1977 – 1978 роках.
Коротко про село Ревазівку, оскільки в сучасних джерелах воно не згадується. Поселення Ревазівка в середині XIX століття називалося Новаківка і належало до Площанської волості Полтавського повіту Полтавської губернії.
Було воно поміщицьким селом і проживало там 179 душ у 18 дворах. Старожили розповідають, що Ревазівкою володів пан Ревазов. У 1926 році Ревазівка офіційно зветься слободою, з числом мешканців – 219, які проживали у 44 господарствах.
Зараз село Ревазівка з’єднане з селом Грекопавлівкою і належить до Стовбинської сільради Новосанжарського району Полтавської обл..
Хата дводільна /хата, сіни/, комбінованої конструкції. Дводільні хати траплялися тут тільки в бідних поміщицьких селах. Традиційно на Полтавщині було тридільне житло.
Хата збудована на сохах. На сохи, вище вікон покладено ощіп. Подовжній сволок та верхні вівнця ощіпу мають з покутнього причілку випуски, утворюючи значний винос даху. На випуски укладено брус, на який спираються наріжники даху. Основу хатньої стелі утворюють сволок і слижні. По слижнях укладено щільно жердини, а зверху шар м’ятої глини.
Чотирисхилий дах хати невисокий, на кроквах. Покриття з очерету, техніка – «парки». Очерету біля Ревазівки росло багато на заболоченій річковій долині.
Комбінована зрубно – каркасна конструкція народного житла південної Полтавщини була характерною для цього регіону, бідного на будівельний ліс.
Особливо цікавим було заповнення каркасу стін даної хати с. Ревазівка: стіни були заплетені коров’яком. Коров′як поблизу Ревазівки ріс високий, з міцним стеблом. «Коров′яка і шашель не бере».
Дводільне житло (хата, сіни). Стіни каркасно – зрубні. До вікон стіни каркасні: до вертикальних сох прибито горизонтальні глиці, між якими всторч заплетена лоза. На сохи, вище вікон, покладео ощіп з трьох вінців. В ощіп врубано подовжній сволок та два поперечні (один у хаті і один у сінях). Подовжній сволок та верхні вінця ощіпу мають випуски з покутнього причілку, утворюючи значний винос даху. Хата ззовні і всередині обмащена і побілена крім задньої, порудованої стіни. Хата встановлена на бетонний фундамент.
Площа - 53,92 м2 (5.15 х 10.47).

Machen རྨ་ཆེན། county
The Amnye Machen range, which forms the large bend of the Ma chu རྨ་ཆུ་ ( Yellow River), is the ancestral homeland of the Golok; and the sacred abode of the protector deity, Machen Pomra, revered by Bonpo and Buddhists alike. The county capital is located at Tawo (Machen), Area: 16.625 sq km. www.footprinttravelguides.com/c/2848/tibet/&Action=pr... Golok - Sertal and Ngawa The Bayankala and Amnye Machen ranges of Amdo demarcate the upper reaches of the Headwaters of the Ma chu རྨ་ཆུ་ ( Yellow River), homeland of the Golok; while the Mardzagang range forms a watershed between the Ma chu (Yellow River) and the three main sources of the Gyarong: the Ser chu, Do chu, and Mar chu. This entire region is the domain of independently minded Nomadic peoples who have maintained their distinctive cultural traditions for centuries. Four of the six counties currently included in the Golok Tibetan Autonomuos Prefecture of Qinghai (Amdo) occupy the valley of the Ma chu ( Yellow River), whereas the other two, Padma and Jigdril along with those of Sertal, Dzamtang and Ngawa, all lie within the gorges and valleys of the Gyarong source rivers. Nowadays the counties of the Golok Tibetan Autonomuos Prefecture are administered from Machen, Sertal from Dartsedo (in the Kandze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture), and the last two from Barkham, within the Ngawa Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan province. www.footprinttravelguides.com/c/2848/tibet/&Action=pr...

The Royal House of Estremoz Castle houses nowadays a Pousada. Its construction began in the 13th century under D. Sancho III reign, continuing during the reigns of D. Afonso III and D. Dinis. The Royal House was built during the reign of the later. The Holy Queen passed away in this castle. The front of the castle is dominated by a 27m high keep. It has a pentagon-shaped plan, surrounded by a wall reinforced by tower-like wing walls. The keep was totally built in marble blocks. It has three monumental balconies in the third floor. In 1736 D. João V rebuilt the former Royal House of D. Dinis, where he founded the Arms’ Room, a famous arm museum of that time. Part of the castle was destroyed after a gunpowder magazine explosion in 1698. Following the Restoration of Independence (1640), the city was bordered by a bastion-like wall, which remains almost intact nowadays.
