Becán ist eine archäologische Stätte und vormaliges Zentrum der Maya der präklassischen Periode. Sie befindet sich im mexikanischen Bundesstaat Campeche, im Zentrum der Yucatán-Halbinsel, 150 Kilometer nördlich von Tikal.
Der Name Becán bedeutet in Mayathan „Schlucht, von Wasser geformt“ und bezieht sich auf den umgebenden Graben, der einzigartig für eine Maya-Stätte ist. Becán, das im Rio-Bec-Stil erbaut ist, war ein regionales religiöses und politisches Zentrum der Maya. Die ersten Nachweise menschlicher Besiedelung gehen ins Jahr 600 v. Chr. zurück. Die Blütezeit der Stadt war jedoch in den Jahren 600–1000, bewohnt war die Stadt bis etwa 1250.
Die Stadt ist von einem Graben umgeben, der an sieben Stellen unterbrochen war. Er war damit kein wirksames militärisches Hindernis, oder wurde nicht als solches fertiggestellt.
Becan is an archaeological site of the Maya civilization in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. Becan is located near the center of the Yucatán Peninsula, in the present-day Mexican state of Campeche,Archaeological evidence shows that Becan was occupied in the middle Preclassic Maya period, about 550 BCE, and grew to a major population and ceremonial center a few hundred years later in the late Preclassic.
At number 6 you will find "Centrespace" an independent and sustainable community of artists and craftspeople offering both studio space, workshops, events and a gallery space for hire. The building was originally occupied by artists in the late 1970’s and has been running as a co-operative since 1987.
Leonard lane a medieval thoroughfare following the inner line of the City walls. The double yellow lines indicate that it still retains full highway status, although at the Corn Street end it is probably less than 1 metre wide.
All is occupied, but feel free to come and visit the public part :)
"Luanes World - Live the Dream", is the newest addition to the Luanes World sims. But as a difference to "Luanes World" @Slice of Heaven and "Luanes Magical World" @ Morning Glow, who are public sims, "Luanes World - Live the Dream" @ Tabara is a residential sim.
The rentals consist of 7 different houses, all with water view.
The rest of the sim is free for all to use, and enjoy.
Note this sim is moderate, so keep everything naughty inside of your house:)
Please respect the privacy of the other tenants - do not contact anybody else, when they are in the privacy of their own home. If you meet them in the public areas, you can of course say hi :)
Price:
Each rental, no matter which house you choose, is 799/week, with a 2 week minimum pay the first time.
After the first payment you can pay between 1-4 weeks at a time.
Prims:
You get 250 prims to decorate the house, and the nearest surrounding with. Please keep within the prim limit, as we all have to share the prims available.
If you need additional prims, you can buy extra prims - in units of 25 prims for 75 linden/week. Write me a notecard if you want your prim limit changed.
Privacy:
Each rental has it's own security orb, and the parcel setting is set to private, so you will be invisible to people from outside the parcel.
You can add people to the security orb, once I have set it up for you.
Music and parcel name and description:
If you want the parcel to have a specific name and/or description, write it in a notecard, and I will add that for you.
Also if you would like a specific music stream, you can put that in a notecard as well, and I will change that for you.
Luanes Residential World Group:
"Luanes World - Live the Dream" @ Tabara has its own group where only tenants will be able to join (as well as subtenants). Only members of this group will be able to rezz on the sim, but the public parts are open for everybody.
Upon renting a house, send me a notecard, and I will invite you to the group, so you can start decorating your new home. Any subtenants you need adding, you put in the notecard as well. Note that this is only needed, if they need to be able to rezz as well.
If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact me. If I am not online, please send a notecard, as my IM's get capped.
Sincerely LuaneMeo.
Nests have been built, couples have coupled, and eggs have been laid. Now parents are brooding the next generation of Great Egrets and Cormorants. In the small Resoft rookery I counted 48 occupied Egret nests and many more with Cormorants. Consequently, less in-flight activity on this visit. That will change when eggs hatch and chicks need to be fed. Alvin, Texas.
Found this truck while on a photography club trip last summer. Rarely do I find an abandoned Dodge so this was a golden find. Converted to black and white as I took it in the middle of a sunny day with harsh light. If I went back to this truck now, it would most likely be full of tumbleweeds. Of course, I can't even remember where I found it. Somewhere in Kansas I believe.
He's like a little troll who lives below a bridge and doesn't want anyone to cross it. He lives inside the hole of this cable table. The hole is just beneath him. When he hears anyone trying to get a drink he pops up and usually scares the so called offender off. He forgets that it is a public facility.
A healthy-looking Hawaiian monk seal came ashore, shoveled its face into the sand, and nodded off to sleep on a sandy beach for the remainder of the morning.
Endemic to Hawaii, this species of monk seal was established in the archipelago millions of years before the human populated main volcanic islands emerged above sea level. The original seal-occupied islands have since receded to coral atolls and are now part of Papahānaumokuākea. A recently updated survey estimate by NOAA indicates a small, but encouraging, population increase to 1,570 individuals throughout the Hawaiian archipelago; about 400 inhabiting the main islands. However, Hawaiian monk seals remain endangered and among the rarest of marine mammals.
Le château d'Ivry a été édifié vers 960 par Richard Ier duc de Normandie ce qui en fait un des tous premiers châteaux en pierre de Normandie. L'appareil de construction en "arrête-de-poisson" témoigne du caractère primitif de l'édifice. Le château occupe une position stratégique sur l'Eure, à la frontière entre Normandie et Royaume de France. Il fut l'objet d'âpres conflits durant la guerre de Cent-Ans avant d'être repris définitivement par Jean de Dunois.

The Château d'Ivry was built around 960 by Richard I, Duke of Normandy, making it one of the very first stone castles in Normandy. The "fishbone" construction is a testament to the primitive character of the building. The castle occupies a strategic position on the Eure river, on the border between Normandy and the Kingdom of France. It was the subject of bitter conflicts during the Hundred Years' War before being definitively retaken by Jean de Dunois.

Leucospermum (Pincushion, Pincushion Protea) is a genus of about 50 species of flowering plants in the family Proteaceae, native to Zimbabwe and South Africa, where they occupy a variety of habitats, including scrub, forest, and mountain slopes.
They are evergreen shrubs (rarely small trees) growing to 0.5-5 m tall.
The leaves are spirally arranged, tough and leathery.
The flowers are produced in dense inflorescences, which have large numbers of prominent styles, which inspires the name.
I can absolutely see why this is called the 'PINCUSHION' PROTEA.
The national flower of South-Africa.
Die enige eg SUIKERBOSSIE (ZA).
Protea flowers normally remain closed, (with the style curved, and the stigma within the mass of tepals), until an insect, bird, or rodent disturbs the flower.
At that point, the flower snaps open, the style straightens and the stigma is held some distance above the bloom.
Thank you for your visits and comments, greatly appreciated, M, (*_*)

this guy was nuts-ing out to the music. i have my doubts as to the sincerity of many of the people camping out at the "protest" Occupy LA movement. many seemed to be the same people; bums, transients, homeless, mentally ill, that live on the streets. here they had free food and free sleeping bags.
This year the Providence and Worcester Railroad continued to provide their passenger train and crew for the Blackstone Valley Tourism Council's extremely popular Polar Express trains with trains running and 3:30 and 6:30 PM Fri-Sun for a total of 42 sold out trips in 2024.
The train consist is deadheading south from Worcester to begin the final weekend of performances with B39-8E 3910 (GE blt. Dec. 1987 as LMX 8534) amidst a winter wonderland scene of the first significant snow of the year. They crossing in Blackstone River near MP 17.9 on the historic original Providence and Worcester mainline just north of the Rhode Island state line. This is the 10th of 14 crossings of the Blackstone along the 43 mile line when traveling south from Worcester to Providence.
As I've told you before in previous posts the P&W is my hometown road and it is inextricably linked to the river it follows both historically and physically. The Blackstone River courses 48 miles from its headwaters near Worcester (at the confluence of the Middle River and Mill Brook) to where it flows into the Seekonk River at the headwaters of Narragansett Bay. The river drains a watershed of 640 square miles and more importantly drops 450 feet in the 48 miles. It is that drop, that made this river a pivotal point in American History.
From ririvers.org: A series of steep drops along the length of the Blackstone River provided ideal conditions for the development of water powered industry. Samuel Slater arrived in America in 1790, with managerial experience and technical knowledge of textile manufacturing in England. With the assistance of local merchants and artisans, he helped establish the first successful water-powered textile mill in America. Slater Mill was established on the Blackstone River, in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. This achievement is credited with spawning the birth of America's industrial revolution. Development of the Slater textile mill catalyzed the development of water-driven technology throughout the length of the Blackstone River. By 1914 water-powered mills occupied all of the readily available dam sites in the Valley.
As the birthplace of industrial America, the need for transportation quickly arose in the valley, and between 1825 and 1828 the Blackstone Canal was constructed. The canal lasted only 20 years having been rendered obsolete by the opening of the Providence and Worcester Railroad in 1847. The railroad has proven to be a more durable method of transportation and 175 years after its opening here it is still serving the purpose for which it was built.

Dachshunds, Oliver & Rudy have been acting very strange lately, meeting secretly in the far corner of the backyard - now the reason is clear– They have joined the Occupy Movement & they want the turkey.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING WEEKEND !

Marquette Rail's Z151 rolls through Grand Rapids with half of a loaded grain train from Newaygo and a handful of miscellaneous freight on the bottom. Seward Ave, the street in the foreground, occupies the right of way of what was once the Pennsylvania RR's mainline to Mackinaw City. The line was removed through most of Grand Rapids' west side in the early 1980s as part of a large track consolidation between Conrail, C&O, and GTW.

Chenies Palace in the parish of Chenies in Buckinghamshire, England, is a Tudor Grade I listed building[1] once known as Chenies Manor House, although it was never a royal seat nor the seat of a bishop. It was held by the Cheney family since 1180 and passed by marriage successively to the Semark and Sapcote families and thence in 1526 to the Russell family,[2] Earls of Bedford, later Dukes of Bedford, by whom it was held for several centuries. Although the Russells soon abandoned Chenies as its main seat in favour of Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire, Chenies parish church remains the site of the private "Bedford Chapel", the mausoleum still in use by that family.[3]
John Russell, 1st Earl of Bedford set about improving the house both as his home and enlarging it to the size and standard needed to house the royal court, so he could host visits from the king. The house was probably constructed by him around 1530–1550, while the significantly larger north range, which included the royal apartments, has been demolished. Russell had a meteoric career as an advisor to successive monarchs, becoming wealthy and titled and acquiring other properties. By about 1608 Woburn Abbey had become the principal family residence. Thereafter Chenies became increasingly neglected; the surviving buildings are the ones which were still considered practical.
At the northern end of the west wing, there is an undercroft from the previous medieval manor house which occupied the same site, which is a scheduled ancient monument. wikipedia
I love the colours of these mussel shells - if they weren't occupied I would have liked to re-home them to my place.

Gallipoli was originally inhabited by the Messapi and then by the Greeks who called it Kalé Polis, beautiful city. During this period Gallipoli ruled over vast territories, coining its own currency, until it was subdued by the Romans in 265 B.C. becoming a military station and a municipality.
During this period, thanks to the Trajan Way that joined the town to Brindisi, the town acquired a new strategic importance. After the fall of the Roman empire Gallipoli was frequently attacked by the Saracens who finally occupied the town in 915.
With the coming of the Normans, the Diocese of Gallipoli once more came under the jurisdiction of Rome, although the Greek rites were celebrated until 1513. Like other towns in Puglia it was ruled by the Swabians, the Angevins and the Aragones.
Under Spanish domination it enjoyed a period of peace and was embellished with churches and noble residences. It was the time of the golden age of the Salentine Baroque, during which the Castle was restored and the Cathedral rebuilt.
This Detroit neighborhood was "developed" by the homeless back when the Occupy Wall Street movement was a hot topic in the news. A few houses down a street in the city took kindly to occupying abandoned homes and this building was a hub, a center where the Occupy people offered free bikes and bike repairs to the local residents.
