De origen árabe y su nombre significa "castillo libre". Fue construida sobre una antigua puerta de carácter romano.
En sus origines, el conjunto actual estaba formado por dos torres separadas por un arco, pero en el siglo XIV fueron unidas por dos cuerpos semicirculares, adquiriendo entonces el aspecto macizo que ofrece en la actualidad. En su interior, actualmente se encuentra el museo de las tres culturas, islámica, judía y cristiana.

Vierselhof Castle
The origins of Vrieselhof Castle date back to around 1300 when Jan van Vriesele bought the land and gave it to his daughter as a dowry.
Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, gave permission for a late court to be established. This was a lower court where a mayor could judge local disputes.
From 1509, members of the van Halmale family owned the estate. The last descendant, Alfons-Ignace van Halmale, died childless in 1788.
During the Eighty Years' War (16th-17th century) the castle served as a refuge for the inhabitants of Oelegem on several occasions.
In 1910 Count Louis de Brouckhoven de Berkeyck became the owner of the property. He had the old castle rebuilt. But after the outbreak of the First World War, the Belgian troops had the castle burnt down for strategic reasons on 7 October 1914. Between 1917 and 1919, the present castle was rebuilt in the same style as the recently destroyed castle. In 1974, the castle and its grounds were sold to the province of Antwerp by the grandchildren of Louis de Brouckhoven de Berkeyck.
For most of the time the castle had a residential function. In the 18th and 19th centuries it had a few other functions too: in 1797 it became a temporary residence for the Augustinians of Antwerp after their monastery was closed down, and in 1818 it was rented out as a gendarmerie barracks. From 1977 to 1999, the "Provincial Textile and Costume Museum" was located in the Vrieselhof. Afterwards, the Provincial Library Centre was located here, until 2015.
Currently, the municipality of Ranst uses the castle for ceremonies.
------------------------------------
De oorsprong van kasteel Vrieselhof gaat terug tot ongeveer 1300 toen Jan van Vriesele de grond kocht en als bruidschat aan zijn dochter gaf.
Filips de Goede, hertog van Bourgondië, gaf toestemming om een laathof op te richten. Dit was een lagere rechtbank waar een meier kon oordelen over plaatselijke geschillen.
Vanaf 1509 hadden leden van de familie van Halmale het domein in bezit. De laatste telg, Alfons-Ignace van Halmale stierf kinderloos in 1788.
Tijdens de Tachtigjarige Oorlog (16e -17e eeuw) diende het kasteel meermaals als schuilplaats voor de inwoners van Oelegem.
In 1910 werd graaf Louis de Brouckhoven de Berkeyck eigenaar van het geheel. Hij liet het oude kasteel herbouwen. Maar na het uitbreken van de Eerste Wereldoorlog lieten de Belgische troepen het kasteel om strategische redenen afbranden op 7 oktober 1914. Tussen 1917 en 1919 werd het huidige kasteel herbouwd in dezelfde stijl als het pas recent gebouwde, verwoeste kasteel.
In 1974 werd het kasteel en het bijhorende domein door de kleinkinderen van Louis de Brouckhoven de Berkeyck verkocht aan de provincie Antwerpen.
Het grootste deel van de tijd had het kasteel een woonfunctie. In de 18e en 19e eeuw had het nog enkele andere functies: in 1797 werd het een tijdelijke verblijfplaats voor de Augustijnen van Antwerpen nadat hun klooster gesloten werd en in 1818 werd het verhuurd als Rijkswachtkazerne. Van 1977 tot 1999 was het "Provinciaal textiel- en kostuummuseum" gevestigd in het Vrieselhof. Daarna vond het Provinciaal Bibliotheekcentrum hier een plaats, en dit tot 2015.
Momenteel gebruik de gemeente Ranst het kasteel voor ceremonies.

The origin of the Pétrusse Casemates goes back to 1644, when the Spaniards reinforced the medieval fortifications and built large bastions.
After the 1867 Treaty of London the fortress to be dismantled and most of the entrances were closed. After the demolition, about 17 km of the casemates remained.
In 1933, the first visitors - initially with torches - were able to descend. In 1994 the fortifications of the city of Luxembourg and its old quarters were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
You can buy tickets to tour several sections. This is looking out one of the openings onto the Grund Lower town, once protected by the medieval fortress.

LA VIA PER IL PARADISO E' A SENSO UNICO.
Una passeggiata per le via di Follina permette di ammirare i pregevoli edifici del centro storico nati proprio nell’ambito d ell'attività manifatturiera: palazzo Barberis – Rusca, palazzo Bernardi, palazzo Tandura e l’ex lanificio Andretta di epoca ottocentesca, notevole esempio di archeologia industriale. Adagiato ai piedi delle Prealpi Bellunesi, la cui cornice storica ed paesaggistica ne fanno uno tra i più amati e frequentati centri storici della Marca Trevigiana. Ospitato da un vallata verdeggiante, ricca di boschi, sorgenti d’acqua e vigneti rigogliosi, territorio intriso di storia e terra d’origine di importanti dinastie nobiliari che fecero la storia della Serenissima Repubblica di Venezia, il territorio di Follina costituisce, con i suoi palazzi storici, gli antichi luoghi di culto e i sentieri naturalistici da cui è percorso, una meta suggestiva ed imperdibile.

The origins of the ‘remembrance poppy’ are to be found in this poem by John McCrae, a Canadian army doctor.
At the time, Major John McCrae was working in a field dressing station on the road between Ypres and Boezinge,
in Flanders (Belgium).
In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
...
(John McCrae)

This photo, taken by Freya, was really taken in Flanders fields because that's where we live.

My first shot of CPKC paint, and an ex-Baffinland unit came in the form of CP 7433 (GE ET44AC) leading train 113.
This is a location I've shot many times, but in a way I feel that with new paint comes an opportunity to revisit some old spots.
CPKC 113 passes the East Calgary grain elevator, as well as an old wooden elevator as it enters Calgary on January 26, 2025.
CPKC 113:

It was an awesome experience hiking on the glacier, traversing crevasses, exploring ice caves and breathing in the fresh air of the wide open spaces. To look up and see the origin of a waterfall on such a hike was exhilarating.

The Daxiong Baodian or Main Hall at the Daci Buddhist Temple in the centre of Chengdu. This compact urban temple site is entirely surrounded by the upmarket Tai Koo Li shopping area.
Although it claims origins back to the 3rd Century, the current buildings largely date from when it was renovated and refurbished in 1867 under the Tongzhi Emperor. It seems to have been seized by the state at some point during the Communist period, and only returned to religiopus use in 2003.

"According to a 2020 study using a molecular clock calibrated with 27 chelicerate fossils, spiders most likely diverged from other chelicerates between 375 and 328 million years ago.
The discovery of Chimerarachne in early Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian) aged Burmese amber has also demonstrated that taxa existed until the Cretaceous that had both spinnerets, and a whip-like telson."

Les origines du château remontent à 911, quand le roi de France céda la Normandie à Rollon à Saint-Clair-sur-Epte. Sur la motte féodale, le premier château fut construit en bois. Au 12e siècle, un donjon carré en pierre fut construit. Au 13e siècle, le mur d'enceinte fut érigé avec douze tours ; les fossés et l'enceinte faisaient le tour complet du château. La basse-cour, à laquelle on accédait par un châtelet d'entrée reliant deux tours, contenait un véritable village : logement pour soldats, chapelle, écuries, etc. Au 17e siècle, le château fut remanié par la princesse de Brancas qui fit combler les fossés et raser le mur d'enceinte côté est ; avec les pierres, elle refit la façade du château. A l'intérieur, un escalier monumental du 17e siècle est formé de marches en pierre avec une rampe en ferronnerie, puis en bois. A l'extérieur, sur la terrasse d'accès au château, se trouve un puits creusé à même la roche au 12e siècle ; il a été doté d'une roue en bois au 14e siècle. Après la confiscation du château à la Révolution, celui-ci fut vendu en 1804 à un avoué parisien, Louis-Gervais Delamare, qui introduisit massivement la culture du pin. En 1828, le domaine fut légué à l'Académie d'agriculture qui y créa un arboretum en 1833.

"At this the woman said to the serpent: “We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden. But God has said about the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden: ‘You must not eat from it, no, you must not touch it; otherwise you will die.’” At this the serpent said to the woman: “You certainly will not die. For God knows that in the very day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and bad." - Genesis 3:2-5

This is another Snoopy plush from Kiddyland in Japan. I've always liked the oddity of a fat Snoopy in a yellow and blue romper with:
"Snoopy The World Famous Super Beagle"
on his chest.
The color scheme and his adorable chubbiness here makes him a Snoopy Pierrot in my mind.
As the series name suggests, he is a beanie, but not so much. If you squeeze him, you can feel the beans but it's also a lot of filler.
Lots of unusual design choices converge to make this a unique and loved Snoopy in our plush collection!
The tag identifies it as a Determined Productions product.
Determined Productions was a pioneering San Francisco-based company that played a major role in the early licensing and merchandising of Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts comic strip characters, helping turn them into a massive cultural and commercial phenomenon.
The company's origins trace back to Connie Boucher, a San Francisco window designer and entrepreneur. In the early 1960s, she approached Schulz with the idea of creating Peanuts-themed datebook calendars. Schulz approved, and this collaboration led to the publication of the landmark book Happiness Is a Warm Puppy in 1962 (released by Determined Productions).
The book became a huge success, spending 45 weeks on The New York Times bestseller list (peaking at #2) and selling widely. It essentially launched the category of Peanuts gift books and inspired a wave of character-branded merchandise.
Boucher founded Determined Productions, Inc. shortly after (around 1962–1963) to capitalize on this momentum and develop a broader range of licensed Peanuts products. The company became one of the earliest and most prolific licensees, working closely with Schulz—often described as the first major licensee to collaborate directly with him on product development.
Key highlights of their contributions include:
Iconic graphic sweatshirts starting in 1965, featuring characters with slogans in bold, poppy fonts (e.g., on colorful raglan-sleeved designs like Grassy Green, Peacock Blue, Shocking Pink). These vintage pieces remain highly sought-after by collectors today.
Plush dolls and stuffed toys, including Snoopy plush (they also introduced Belle, Snoopy's sister, in response to fan requests).
Books, day planners/calendars, pocket dolls, pennants, figurines, coin banks (e.g., a 1976 Snoopy coin bank created with Schulz), clothing, toys, kitchenware, and more.
Fashion-oriented lines, such as "Snoopy in Fashion" plush dolls dressed by famous designers in the 1980s.
International expansion, notably licensing agreements for Japan (e.g., a 1970 deal with Familiar Co., Ltd. to produce and distribute Peanuts products there, helping build the brand's strong presence in Asia).
Determined Productions also licensed other characters/properties (e.g., Joan Walsh Anglund, Winnie the Pooh, Wizard of Oz), but Peanuts was central to their identity and success.
Boucher was a trailblazer in the licensing industry—inducted as the first member into its Hall of Fame (Schulz was also later inducted). She passed away in 1995.
The company was active through at least the 1980s (and possibly into the 1990s), producing many classic vintage Peanuts items now prized by collectors.
While modern Peanuts licensing has shifted to other entities (e.g., under Peanuts Worldwide), Determined Productions' early work was instrumental in making the characters "usable and lovable" beyond the comic pages, from everyday apparel to beloved toys. Their catalogs (like the rare 1968 one) showcase the breadth of their output.

In our toy collecting, plush is not a strong point and that remains true for our Peanuts collection. The 2001 'Many Lives of Snoopy' series from McDonald's Japan is a plush series that we featured from 2020-2021. Because each plush figure was themed, it was easy to create specific scenes.

Also, in Japan we did pick up a nice series of small plush, about 16mm. These plush seem to have the same origin though there are different tags. The Law Label (The label that is sewn to plush toys containing copyright and materials information.) always has 'Peanuts' and a copyright for United Feature Syndicate. The cardboard tag labels vary with many carrying the 'RM' label. All of the plush were manufactured in Hong Kong. So, we think a Japanese company (Perhaps Nakajima Corporation) manufactured these and released them to various distributors.
Most of these plush have no distinguishing themes or names but rather standard figures released in a variety of colors. We've photographed a couple from this series here:

And here:

So, rather than creating scenes with stories, we decided to feature these lovely plush among the Peanuts collection and provide some fun information.

Happy Birthday Allison!
Much peace, love and happiness to you. I hope that you have the best day.
Today's post is actually a painting that Allison and I did together. It is an acrylic paint on a giclee print. It was the first painting for either of us and our first painting together. It also makes it's debut tonight in a group show called Origins III at the Flower of Life Art Gallery in Lockport.
St George, in the parish of Arreton, is one of the most remarkable churches on the Isle of Wight, possibly the successor to an earlier late Saxon 'mother church'. The west wall is essentially late Saxon and the west part of the chancel is also of early origin: Saxon, or at least 11th century. The pre-1100 church occupied the space of the present nave without the aisles, plus part of the chancel. This was large for a Saxon parish church.
Arreton church was closely associated with Quarr Abbey which received the rectorial tithes from about 1150.
