On the cape Arkona (Kap Arkona in German) on the island of Rügen is the old sanctuary called Jaromarsburg. It was used by the tribe the Rani (a West Slavic tribe, also known as Ranen or Rujanen - which means "the red"). The sanctuary was used from the 6th to the 12th century - when the tribe was converted to Christianity.
The sanctuary was protected by two walls reaching 13 metres (and which can still be seen today) and the sanctuary itself was made of wood. From 1068, when another Slavic sanctuary was destroyed, it became the most prominent Slavic place of worship on the southern Baltic sea coast. The god worshiped there was the four-faced Svetovid (Svantevit, Svantovit et cetera ), the god of war, fertility and abundance.
The name Jaromarsburg comes from the ruler Jaromar I - but it was not what the place was called by the Rani themselves.
HFF!!
Sissy's Dog House at 126 Oak Dr. in Wimberley, Texas.
I couldn't find out much information on this place. Guess I should have gone inside..:) The fence is a lot like that Indian restaurant I posted in here several months ago.
The weather man is saying we're going to get hammered with rain. Like serious flooding. I'm on high ground so I'll be safe.
Honopū Valley is located along the northwest shore of Kauai on the Na Pali coast. It is isolated and not easily accessible except by water. Best POV are from the air, as in this shot.

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.
Texture , brushes: My own, some layers from webb.
The winter and the cold wave came to Switzerland.
With this picture I did not make it easy for me. At first I really could not decide which photo to put on flickr. I wrestled with myself, because I would like to present the most beautiful photo for my friends here. Secondly, the picture was made under very difficult external conditions, because it was really "bitterly cold". I could barely touch my hands after photographing and yet I wanted to get a nice photo of these beautiful ice crystals. I succeeded, more or less, because the background was not ideal for that. In addition, my faithful friend Roco had to wait for me and there I no longer want to start one try after another. This time I did not want to make any compromises with the warm colors of the picture, because the cold should be very touchable. I believe this has succeeded with this picture. I am fascinated by this "little work of art". Each little detail is a miracle of creation, because it was shaped by the elements of nature and radiates its brilliance as long as this nature allows.
I am grateful for these little things without which life would not be so beautiful and interesting.
Rejoice over the elements of nature.

I thank you all for the interest and enthusiasm for my work here. I am happy about every comment from you and every time you like my pictures. Thank you very much for all the favorites and for watching my photos.
Small supplement of today:
The winter has caught up with me too, for I am terribly cold. Nevertheless, or just because of this, I am looking forward to every single word from you. Also, I always see in the little things, which makes the importance and beauty of life. Wish all of you a blessed time, without illness and with much love and joy. Hope you can all be in a nice warm place, because outside it is extremely cold here. Brrrrrr .....
....first there was darkness till i created the night, first there was darkness and darkness was right. darkness is moving into the light...

Beautiful sculpture on a train station of the Albula line in Switzerland when going to St. Moritz. Unfortunately I can't remember which station it was, but I loved this little lady sitting there and waiting for a train which never will arrive :)
Grey skies over Glastonbury Tor and the Somerset Levels.
The tower is the remains of the church of St Michael, damaged by an Earthquake 11th September 1275. The Tor itself is linked closely with Arthurian tales and the Isle of Avalon, rising from the Somerset levels that used to be flooded...until the Roman's drained them for farming.
This place always feels like home!
La Réserve nationale de faune de la Baie de L’Isle-Verte
L'Isle-Verte (Bas-Saint-Laurent), Québec
La Réserve nationale de faune (RNF) de la Baie de l’Isle-Verte constituée de vastes étendues de marais, est située sur la rive sud de l’estuaire moyen du fleuve Saint-Laurent à 30 km au nord-est de la municipalité de Rivière-du-Loup. Ce territoire de 406 ha s’étend sur une bande riveraine de quelques 20 km le long du Saint-Laurent. Créée en 1980 par Environnement Canada, la réserve protège le plus important marais à spartine du Québec méridional, dernier grand vestige de ce type d’habitat vital pour la survie du Canard noir, ce qui lui a aussi valu d’être reconnue comme zone humide d'importance internationale en vertu de la Convention de Ramsar.

Baie de l'Isle-Verte National Wildlife Area
L'Isle-Verte (Bas-Saint-Laurent), Quebec
The Baie de l'Isle-Verte National Wildlife Area (NWA) encompasses a broad expanse of marshland lying on the south shore of the Upper Estuary of the St. Lawrence River 30 km northeast of Rivière-du-Loup. With an area of 406 ha, it covers a riparian strip running some 20 km along the St. Lawrence. Established in 1980 by Environment Canada, its purpose is to protect the largest Spartina marsh in southern Quebec, the last great vestige of this habitat vital to the survival of the American Black Duck, which has led to its being designated a Wetland of International Significance under the Ramsar Convention.

The rising sun peeping through the trees at the Viersprong in the Hollandse Biesbosch. A few minutes later everything was covered in fog as was seen on my previous shot "Fire and Ice I"
I will be away on holidays in Ontario. Wish you all a great weekend! :) can you spot the guy fishing...
Up atop the Grand Mesa tonight as a storm moved through the valley below us. Heaven opened up and shone a beam of light down on the valley. Amazing sight!
I found this seagull perched on a post leading out to the rougher waters of the area surrounding Venice. There were boats by each home or building there because after all it is only one of two ways to navigate Venice. The other is by walking.

I was just reminded of our visit to the fabulous Azores islands which I can't believe has been four years ago. We spent our Birthday there in December 2012 and discovered an amazing story of volcanic activity, craters and calderas and a mighty eruption that took place between 1957 and 1958 at this spot: Capelo, where the Capelinhos volcano erupted during a considerable time. To see what's left of it is quite impressive.
From Wikipedia: "A volcanic eruption lasted for 13 months, from September 27, 1957 until October 24, 1958, which may have been two overlapping volcanic eruptions. While enlarging the land by 2.4 km², it spawned 300 seismic events, hurled ash 1 km, destroyed 300 houses in the parishes of Capelo and Praia do Norte and caused the evacuation of 2,000 people (emigration to the US and Canada). On October 25, the volcano entered a period of dormancy. It is a part of an active fissural volcanic complex which creates multiple seismic and volcanic events."
Happy Textural Tuesday!
This photo is somewhat similar to another of my photos from that hike but I've decided I still feel it has several merits that make it worth display in its own right.
