Classical ballet originated in Renaissance Italy and established its present form during the 19th century, is characterized by light, graceful, fluid movements and the use of pointe shoes. This was captured at the Photography Show 2019 at the NEC in Birmingham, UK.
The Highland is a Scottish breed of rustic beef cattle. It originated in the Scottish Highlands and the Western Islands of Scotland and has long horns and a long shaggy coat. It is a hardy breed, able to withstand the harsh climatic conditions the region is known for.
The first herd-book dates from 1885; two types – the smaller Island , usually black, and the larger Mainland, usually dun, were registered as a single breed. Highland cattle are reared primarily for beef, and have been exported to several other countries.
Highland cattle were first imported into Canada in the 1880s. The Hon. Donald A. Smith, Lord Strathcona of Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Robert Campbell of Strathclair, Manitoba, imported one bull each. There were also Highland cattle in Nova Scotia in the 1880s. However, their numbers were small until the 1920s when large-scale breeding and importing began. In the 1950s cattle were both imported and exported to North America, increasing the blood lines.
The Canadian Highland Cattle Society was officially accredited in 1964 and currently registers all purebred cattle in Canada. Towards the end of the 1990s, there was a large semen and embryo trade between the UK and Canada. However that has stopped, largely due to concerns over Bovine Spongiform Encephalitis (mad cow disease) outbreaks in the United Kingdom.
Today, Highland cattle are mainly found in eastern Canada. In 2001 the population for Canada and the United States of America combined was estimated at 10,000.
The coypu, also known as coypu or, more rarely, coypu, is a species of rodent originating from South America and settled in Central Europe. It is classified either in its own family, Myocastoridae, or as a subfamily Myocastorinae within the spiny rats. According to recent molecular analyses, the genus undoubtedly belongs to the Echimyidae. Here it is the only aquatic representative in a group of otherwise terrestrial genera.

Die Nutria, auch Biberratte oder seltener Sumpfbiber, Schweifbiber, Schweifratte oder Coypu genannt, ist eine aus Südamerika stammende und in Mitteleuropa angesiedelte Nagetierart. Sie wird entweder in einer eigenen Familie, Myocastoridae, oder als Unterfamilie Myocastorinae innerhalb der Stachelratten eingeordnet. Nach neueren molekularen Analysen gehört die Gattung unzweifelhaft zu den Echimyidae. Sie ist hier der einzige wasserlebende Vertreter in einer Gruppe sonst bodenlebender Gattungen.

The castle originated in the 13th century. Around 1270, Zweder I van Zuylen van Abcoude built a freestanding keep on a raised and moated site near the lost city Dorestad. Until the beginning of the 15th century Duurstede Castle was in possession by the Van Zuylen van Abcoude family, until they were forced to sell it to the bishops of Utrecht in 1449.
Bishop David of Burgundy, who reigned from 1459 to 1496, completely rebuilt the castle. The old donjon was enclosed by new buildings. The still intact burgundian tower was also built around this time. His successors Frederick IV of Baden and Philip of Burgundy also used the castle as their residence, and Philip of Burgundy embellished the castle with renaissance features. Philip of Burgundy settled at Duurstede Castle when he became bishop of Utrecht in 1517. He was accompanied by his court painter Mabuse (Jan Gossaert), who helped to decorate the new palace of his master. At Philip's death, in 1524, Mabuse designed and erected his tomb in the church of Wijk bij Duurstede. After Philip's death, Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor confiscated all territorial possessions of the bishopric of Utrecht, including Duurstede Castle.
In 1580, as a result of the Dutch Revolt, the castle fell into the hands of the States of Utrecht. The states, however, invested their money into building modern fortification around Wijk bij Duurstede, and as a result the castle fell into neglect. Further damage was done when French troops devastated Wijk by Duurstede in 1672, after which the townspeople used stone from the castle to rebuild their homes.
In 1852 the town council became owner of the castle and turned the surrounding fortifications into a park. Until 1925 the castle could only be reached by a little ferry.
Still older fossils document the genus since the Late Oligocene onwards. The genus seems to have originated in the Southern Hemisphere, in the general region of Australia. By the Pliocene, it was probably distributed worldwide:
Gallinula sp. (Early Pliocene of Hungary and Germany)
Gallinula kansarum (Late Pliocene of Kansas, USA)
Gallinula balcanica (Late Pliocene of Varshets, Bulgaria).
Gallinula gigantea (Early Pleistocene of Czech Republic and Israel)
The ancient "Gallinula" disneyi (Late Oligocene—Early Miocene of Riversleigh, Australia) has been separated as genus Australlus.
Even among non-Passeriformes, this genus has a long documented existence. Consequently, some unassigned fragmentary rail fossils might also be from moor- or native-hens. For example, specimen QM F30696, a left distal tibiotarsus piece from the Oligo-Miocene boundary at Riversleigh, is similar to but than and differs in details from "G." disneyi. It cannot be said if this bird—if a distinct species—was flightless. From size alone, it might have been an ancestor of G. mortierii (see also below).
In addition to paleosubspecies of Gallinula chloropus, the doubtfully distinct Late Pliocene to Pleistocene Gallinula mortierii reperta was described, referring to the population of the Tasmanian native-hen that once inhabited mainland Australia and became extinct at the end of the last ice age.[6] It may be that apart from climate change it was driven to extinction by the introduction of the dingo, which as opposed to the marsupial predators hunted during the day, but this would require a survival of mainland Gallinula mortierii to as late as about 1500 BC.
"G." disneyi was yet another flightless native-hen, indicative of that group's rather basal position among moorhens. Its time and place of occurrence suggest it as an ancestor of G. mortierii (reperta), from which it differed mostly in its much smaller size. However, some limb bone proportions are also strikingly different, and in any case such a scenario would require a flightless bird to change but little during some 20 million years in an environment rich in predators. As the fossils of G. disneyi as well as the rich recent and subfossil material of G. mortierii shows no evidence of such a change at all, "G." disneyi more probably represents a case of parallel evolution at an earlier date, as signified by its placement in Australlus.
Europe's grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) originated in North America, where they are known as eastern grey squirrels (to differentiate from western grey squirrels). They eat large seeds, flowers, buds, fruits, fungi, some insects and occasionally bird eggs.
They were first introduced into England, in a concerted way, in 1876, and through rapidly growing population and further introductions they spread to the rest of Great Britain by the early to mid-20th century. The eastern grey squirrel was introduced to Continental Europe in 1948 and has quickly taken advantage of Europe's food sources, habitats and lack of predators for grey squirrels.

The Highland is a Scottish breed of rustic cattle. It originated in the Scottish Highlands and the Outer Hebrides islands of Scotland and has long horns and a long shaggy coat. It is a hardy breed, bred to withstand the intemperate conditions in the region.
Highland cattle descend from the Hamitic Longhorn, which were brought to Britain by Neolithic farmers in the second millennium BC, as the cattle migrated northwards through Africa and Europe. Highland cattle were historically of great importance to the economy, with the cattle being raised for meat primarily and sold in England.
The 1885 herd book describes two distinct types of Highland cattle. One was the West Highland, or Kyloe, originating and living mostly in the Outer Hebrides, which had harsher conditions. These cattle tended to be smaller, to have black coats and, due to their more rugged environment, to have long hair. These cattle were named due to the practice of relocating them. The kyles are narrow straits of water, and the cattle were driven across them to get to market.
The other type was the mainland; these tended to be larger because their pastures provided richer nutrients. They came in a range of colours, most frequently dun or red.[6] These types have now been crossbred so that there is no distinct difference.
Since the early 20th century, breeding stock has been exported to many parts of the world, especially Australia and North America.
It is estimated that there are now around 15,000 Highland cattle in the United Kingdom.
The dahlia originates from the high plateaus of Mexico, where it originally grew as a wildflower. Indigenous peoples, including the Aztecs, cultivated these flowers not only for their aesthetic value but also used their long, hollow stems as water conduits. The botanical name, pinnata, honors Anders Dahl, an 18th-century Swedish botanist and student of Carl Linnaeus.
Dipladenia, originated from both south and central America. The most popular variety is Mandevilla sanderi that is the base of the modern hybrids known nowadays. Mandevilla sanderi was discovered in 1840 in upnorth Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. It looks like Mandevilla sanderi does not exist anylonger in its place of origin.
Mandevilla sanderi was later on imported into Europe. It was cultivated started in 1896, mainly by British and northern Europe collectors and horticulturists. Because of inappropriate climate and low light conditions, the plant did not bloom very well did not seem to have a great commercial interest. The name sanderi was actually chosen to honor, Henry Frederick Conrad SANDER, a Brtish collector who actively participated in making this plant known in Europe.
It’s only in 1955 that Danish horticulturists discovered the capacities of this plant. Therefore, the plant started to be known by a larger public. Later on, growers and breeders from several countries (USA, Japan, France, Germany, Italy…) also started to work on Mandevilla. New hybrids were created from the original Mandevilla sanderi and few wild varieties among all the ones that were discribed in South America.
Sestra is a river in the European part of Russia, in the Moscow and Tver regions, the left tributary of the river. Dubna (Volga basin).
It originates among the hills of the Klinsko-Dmitrovskaya ridge not far from the sources of the Klyazma River. It flows into the Dubna River 11 km from its mouth. The length of the river is 138 km, the basin area is 2680 km2 - the largest tributary of the Dubna in terms of basin area and length . All tributaries of the Sestra belong to small rivers and streams, the largest of which are: the right ones - Yakhroma (54 km, 988 km2) and Lutosnya (55 km, 364 km2); the left ones are Krutets (23 km, 166 km2), Yamuga (24 km, 283 km2) and Berezovka (25 km, 86.5 km2). Several ponds and reservoirs have been built on the river - Lake Senezh, ponds of the Senezh fishery, the Klin reservoir and others. In the lower reaches, the Sestra crosses the Moscow Canal; a 40-meter concrete tunnel has been built to pass water, passing under the canal perpendicular to it.
In 1850, the Catherine Canal was opened, connecting the Moscow and Volga rivers, partly the canal passed along the Sestra River (32 km), and partly along the derivation canal along the Sestra River (66.7 km). Part of the Sestra's channel was straightened, 20 wooden and stone sluices were built on it. Unable to withstand competition with the Nikolaev railway from St. Petersburg to Moscow, which opened in 1851, the canal was closed in 1860, the locks were dismantled.
The sister is a flat river with a winding channel, there are straightened sections. Large stones, small rifts, remnants of destroyed dams and piles of destroyed bridges are found in the riverbed. The current speed reaches 0.4 m / s. The channel width in the upper reaches is 10–15 m, the depth is up to 1 m, below the dam of the Klin reservoir, the width is 20–30 m, the depth is up to 1.5 m. In the lower reaches, the width reaches 50 m, the depth is up to 3 m.
Yulan Magnolia
Magnolia Denudata, known as the Yulan Magnolia, originates from central and eastern China. This deciduous tree boasts large, fragrant, and pure white flowers. Large, cup-shaped white flowers adorn the tree in early spring, even before the leaves appear. These blossoms, often spanning 6 inches, release a sweet, enchanting scent.

Felbrigg
The estate originated with the Felbrigg family. It passed to John Wyndham, who died in 1475, it then remained in the Wyndham family for centuries.
Thomas Wyndham who died in 1522 was a councillor to King Henry VIII. Later residents of the hall included John Wyndham (1558–1645) who was the builder of Felbrigg Hall as we see it today. The last Wyndham of Felbrigg was William Wyndham who died in 1810.
The last owner of the house, before it passed into National Trust ownership in 1969 was Robert Wyndham Ketton-Cremer. His heir, his brother Richard, was killed in action in the Second World War.
The estate covers around 800 acres, it includes a lake, a walled garden, parkland and woodland.

Una is a wonderful river that originates in Croatia, then passes through Bosnia and Herzegovina, and forms a part of its course as a natural border between these two countries until it reaches the mouth of the Sava not far from Jasenovac. From the source itself, which is truly beautiful, Una enchants with its beauty. In several places, Una created wonderful travertine waterfalls, one of them is Milančev buk in Martin Brod.. Una National Park is situated in the northwestern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, mainly in the area of Bihac municipality and to a lesser extent in the municipality of Bosanski Petrovac and Drvar.
Una National Park stretches along the Croatian border and it is only cca 30 kilometers away from Plitvice Lakes National Park and 115 kilometers from the Adriatic Sea.
Tulips originated in Asia and were brought to Europe during the 16th century. By the 17th century Holland was experiencing a Golden Age. There was a lot of demand for luxury items such as tulips, by the newly rich. The bi-color tulips were rare enough to command high prices and demand soon outstripped supply. Prices escalated tempting even tradesmen to give up their professions and trade in tulip bulbs. 312
Brasschaat Castle
The history of the Castle of Brasschaat originated in the 18th century, when the Helhoeve, the forerunner of the castle of Brasschaat, was converted into a court of plaisance.
When Armand Reusens became mayor of Brasschaat in 1872, he had a new beautiful castle built according to the French model and the Helhoeve was demolished. He enlarged the domain considerably. In 1896-1897, the castle was extended with two lateral wings and acquired its current appearance.
During World War I, a railway line was built to supply the forts. It crossed the park. After the war in 1925-1926, the railway was demolished and the land was returned to its owners. In order to keep away the billeting of soldiers, the castle was made available to the weak and sick children of the town.
In 1949 the castle and domain of almost 170 ha were bought by the municipality of Brasschaat. The land along the Bredabaan was parcelled out in order to relieve the purchase burden. Since 1978 the domain is partly managed by Bos en Groen. The castle was transformed into a hotel-restaurant.
“It’s Alive!!!”
Dr. Okabe's project originated in a dare: "How sour can you make a lemon through genetic modification?"
The result was a giant sentient lemon than complained endlessly about everything. Okabe thought it would be funny to send the lemon to the executive office. They were not amused and sent it to the kitchen.
On Friday, there was a suspiciously large container of free lemonade in the cafeteria. Coincidence?
Experiment: FAILED.

The Sassi originate from a prehistoric troglodyte settlement and are suspected to be among the first human settlements in Italy. There is evidence that people were living here as early as the year 7000 BC.
The Sassi are houses dug into the calcarenitic rock itself, which is characteristic of Basilicata and Apulia, locally called "tufo" although it is not volcanic tuff or tufa. Many of these dwellings are really only caverns, and the streets in some parts of the Sassi often run on top of other houses. The ancient town grew up on one slope of the ravine created by a river that is now a small stream. The ravine is known locally as "la Gravina".
In the 1950s, the government of Italy forcefully relocated most of the population of the Sassi to areas of the developing modern city. Riddled with malaria, the unhealthy living conditions were considered an affront to the new Italian Republic of Alcide De Gasperi. However, people continued to live in the Sassi, and according to the English Fodor's guide: "Matera is the only place in the world where people can boast to be still living in the same houses of their ancestors of 9,000 years ago." [from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sassi_di_Matera ]

The Konik (Polish: konik polski or konik biłgorajski) or the Polish primitive horse is a small, semi-feral horse, originating in Poland. The Polish word konik (plural koniki) is the diminutive of koń, the Polish word for "horse" (sometimes confused with kuc, kucyk meaning "pony"). However, the name "konik" or "Polish konik" is used to refer to certain specific breeds. Koniks show many primitive markings, including a dun coat and dorsal stripe.
The horses we met live in a big area of a forest, partly surrounded with a fence and partly with a natural border - River Barycz. Before winter, they are caught and moved to a smaller area. As primitive wild horses, they don't need stables, though. The offspring was very curious about us and scared at the same time... .-)

Wikipedia: The Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin (Sousa chinensis) is a species of humpback dolphin inhabiting coastal waters of the eastern Indian and western Pacific Oceans. This species is often referred to as the Chinese white dolphin in mainland China, Macau, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan as a common name. Some biologists regard the Indo-Pacific dolphin as a subspecies of the Indian Ocean humpback dolphin (S. plumbea) which ranges from East Africa to India. However, DNA testing studies have shown that the two are distinct species. A new species, the Australian humpback dolphin (S. sahulensis), was split off from S. chinensis and recognized as a distinct species in 2014. Nevertheless, there are still several unresolved issues in differentiation of the Indian Ocean-type and Indo-Pacific-type humpback dolphins.
An adult Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin is grey, white or pink and may appear as an albino dolphin to some. Populations along the coasts of China and Thailand have been observed with pink skin. The pink color originates not from a pigment, but from blood vessels which were overdeveloped for thermoregulation.

Jinju Namgang Yudeung Festival originates from the lantern lighting custom used during the Jinjuseong Fortress Battle of the Imjinwaeran War (Japanese invasion, 1592) as a military strategy to prevent Japanese troops from wading the Namgang River. The highlights of the festival are the floating of lanterns carrying personal wishes of the citizens along the Namgang River, and the parade of lanterns created by the students themselves. In addition, the festival features gaejesik (lighting of lanterns in remembrance of the Jinjuseong Fortress Battle veterans), an exhibition of the world’s traditional lanterns, and many more participatory cultural programs.

The Fernley Flyer, as the name implies, is a local that takes cars to and from Fernley. The train originates out of Sparks, following the Truckee River to its namesake town.
On this day, I had randomly come across it while waiting for ZLTG2. Donner was slow that day, the MSPRV was already long gone, I had caught Amtrak 5, and there was no eastbound traffic until the middle of the afternoon. I then decided to ask a friend of mine what traffic around Portola was looking like for that day, there was literally nothing until midnight. In an attempt to not waste my time I decided to head east towards Reno. As mentioned, I would find myself waiting for the eastbound Z just outside Sparks at the Hafed Siding. However, the train was taking awhile to switch Sparks and I was getting hungry. I started to leave when something caught my eye as I was crossing the tracks, a local at some point had pulled into the siding. I knew then that the Z was almost done switching so I headed back and made my way down an access road to get a better look. Sure enough, there was the Fernley Flyer.
After sitting for around ten minutes, the signal finally changed to a green, so the Z would be arriving shortly. Knowing it wasn't likely that anything was following behind the stacks, I started looking around and noticed I could get a shot with the river, code line, and curve. I made my way up the side of a steep embankment next to the tracks, and a few minutes later the Z would race through. After the train cleared, it only took about a minute before the local would start pulling out of the siding. After getting the shot, I headed back to Truckee to get some food and try to catch two eastbound trains, Amtrak 6 and the MRVNP.

The station has taken its name from the Gants Hill roundabout, where the name could have originated from the le Gant family who were notable as stewards.[10] The ticket hall is directly underneath the roundabout,[11] located in the heart of Gants Hill district. The roundabout connects to Woodford Avenue, Eastern Avenue and Cranbrook Road. The station serves a mainly residential area and lies near to Valentines Park, Valentines High School, and Faces nightclub.[12]
History
edit
As part of the 1935–40 New Works Programme, the Central line was to be extended from Liverpool Street to south of Leyton. From there, it would connect to and take over passenger operations on the London & North Eastern Railway's (LNER's) suburban branch to Epping and Ongar in Essex.[13][14] The section of the LNER's Fairlop Loop (now known as Hainault Loop) between Woodford and Newbury Park was also to be transferred, though not the section south from Newbury Park to Ilford and Seven Kings on the Great Eastern Main Line.[14]
To replace the truncated route south from Newbury Park, a new underground section between Leytonstone and Newbury Park was constructed, running mostly under Eastern Avenue. Three new stations, which include Gants Hill were built to serve the new suburbs of north Ilford and the Fairlop Loop.[14][note 1] During planning, the names "North Ilford" and "Cranbrook" were considered for this station.[13][18]
Construction began before 1937[11] and most of the tunnelled section was completed by 1940 but delayed due to the outbreak of the Second World War and eventually came to a halt in June 1940. During the war, the station was used as an air raid shelter and the unused tunnels between the station and Redbridge were used as a munitions factory for Plessey.[7][19][note 2] Construction restarted after the war ended,[22] with the line extended to Stratford on 4 December 1946, and then to Leytonstone on 5 May 1947. Gants Hill station opened on 14 December 1947 as part of an extension to Newbury Park.[17][23][note 3]
Design
edit
The lower concourse, with its design inspired by stations on the Moscow Metro
The station, like the other two new stations on the branch, was designed by architect Charles Holden in the 1930s. During the 1930s the London Passenger Transport Board had provided advice on the construction of the Moscow Metro and an internal report in 1935 by the Underground's engineers on the Russian capital's system led to the decision to construct a station in London to a similar design.[25][26][note 4]
The station ticket hall is located beneath the roundabout at the centre of the road junction.[27] It is accessed via a series of pedestrian subways and has no street level buildings, although low structures on the roundabout sit above the ticket hall and provide daylight and ventilation. From the ticket hall, three escalators lead to the barrel-vaulted lower concourse between the two platforms tunnels.[28][29][30] The station also features miniature roundels on the tiles at platform level as well as the roundel clocks.[31][32][33]
Gants Hill is the only Underground station with a concourse designed by Holden that has no surface buildings.[note 5] Unlike Redbridge, the station is not Grade II listed although its distinctive architectural qualities have gained public support for listing the station.
The Highland is a Scottish breed of rustic cattle. It originated in the Scottish Highlands and the Outer Hebrides islands of Scotland and has long horns and a long shaggy coat. It is a hardy breed, bred to withstand the intemperate conditions in the region.
Highland cattle descend from the Hamitic Longhorn, which were brought to Britain by Neolithic farmers in the second millennium BC, as the cattle migrated northwards through Africa and Europe. Highland cattle were historically of great importance to the economy, with the cattle being raised for meat primarily and sold in England.
The 1885 herd book describes two distinct types of Highland cattle. One was the West Highland, or Kyloe, originating and living mostly in the Outer Hebrides, which had harsher conditions. These cattle tended to be smaller, to have black coats and, due to their more rugged environment, to have long hair. These cattle were named due to the practice of relocating them. The kyles are narrow straits of water, and the cattle were driven across them to get to market.
The other type was the mainland; these tended to be larger because their pastures provided richer nutrients. They came in a range of colours, most frequently dun or red. These types have now been crossbred so that there is no distinct difference.
Since the early 20th century, breeding stock has been exported to many parts of the world, especially Australia and North America.
It is estimated that there are now around 15,000 Highland cattle in the United Kingdom.
The Sassi originate from a prehistoric troglodyte settlement and are suspected to be among the first human settlements in Italy. There is evidence that people were living here as early as the year 7000 BC.

The Regal Pelargonium originates from South Africa and belongs to the Geraniaceae family, the cranesbill or storksbill family. How did this family get its special name? The name Pelargonium originates from the Greek ‘pelargos’ which means stork and refers to the mouth of the seed pod on the Regal Pelargonium.
With the frilly flowers of the regal pelargonium this makes them definitely the best pelargonium belonging to the geraniaceae family.

CN Mixed Train 232 originated at Whitbourne, Newfoundland, on the St. John's Subdivision (main line) on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. At Brigus Junction, about 13 miles east of Whitbourne, the train turned north onto the Carbonear Subdivision as No. 212 and journeyed 38 scenic miles to Carbonear. It would later return as No. 211 to Brigus Junction, becoming No. 232 again for the remainder of the trip to St. John's.
Early on August 2, 1980, No. 232 is preparing to depart Whitbourne for St. John's with a side trip to Carbonear. EMD G8s 805 and 800 will handle the mixed train this day.
Popularly known for its trotting gait, imposing and refined walk. The Mangalarga Paulista also performs well in other gaits, such as galloping. In addition, it stands out for its docility, resistance and agility, qualities that make it ideal for work in the field of cattle driving and for sports.
The Mangalarga horse originated from the horse of the Iberian Peninsula. The horses brought by the colonizers of Brazil were native to the Iberian and Berber Peninsulas.
When the Portuguese Royal Family came to Brazil, the best Lusitano specimens from the Coudelaria Real de Álter were also brought, a fact that played a decisive role in the formation of the breed, since the breeding animals brought on this trip, as well as their descendants, were widely used by breeders of the time to improve their herds.
The first animals came from the Junqueira family's breeding farms in southern Minas Gerais, who brought specimens and settled in the region of Orlândia and Colina (SP), where they defined the basis for their selection.
The Mangalarga Paulista was formed by Lieutenant-Major Francisco Antônio Diniz Junqueira and his descendants, who settled with farms in 1812, in what is now the Municipality of Orlândia, where they took horses.
The qualities that benefit the rider stand out, such as the long, sloping shoulder, which helps the rider position himself and the passage of the girth. The croup is wide and strong, typical elements of saddle horses.
The natural gaits of this type of horse are the gallop, trot and walk. The Mangalarga performs satisfactorily in all of them, but its trademark is the trotted gait, a gait defined as being diagonal and bipedal in two beats.
As for the coat, the predominant color is reddish-brown, or chestnut, which obviously characterizes the chestnut.
