These two were watching a bigger bull with his herd. I am sure they were plotting how to take over. They have a few years before that will happen.
The little man protects the light…
Stay strong, use your voice, and stand up against tyranny.
Sending love, light, and hope, my friends.
Terwijl we wat rond reden zagen we 'n sleep tankcontainers staan. Bij aankomst bij 1 v/d overwegen,die was afgesloten, werd er 'n andere weg in gereden. Toen we plots 'n loc zagen staan,tankcontainers van de opstelsporen. Snel auto uit en ladder uitklappen. Dan passeert hier in 'n zonnig Heringen (D) K+S Kali Werk Werra lok 2 met 'n sleep tankcontainers aan de haak. Ook hier kun je ketelwagens op 1 v/d vele emplacementen zien staan. Het is dat je constand alles goed in de gaten houdt tijdens het rond rijden.
Op achtergrond is het ernorme Kali mijnen complex te zien.

Located in Cortes de Pallás, in the Umbría de Chirel, we find a spectacular hiking trail to the castle of Chirel. Although this place has a great landscape to offer, we are shrouded in a thick fog. The big advantage of the bad weather is that we don't meet anyone. We have the realm to ourselves. The first part is not that steep and is a fine path with grit and small stones. To my right I see a mountain in the mist, to my left a sloping abyss. There I could see beautiful views if the weather were not so gray. I can now mainly see the sides of my hood and in front of me about a meter or so, until my view is obscured by the fog. The dew on the hundreds of cobwebs in combination with the mist give a special atmosphere. Every now and then we stop for a moment to catch our breath. We fantasize about the beautiful view we could have now. You better laugh about it! When I look halfway across the forest it feels like I'm alone in the world. Suddenly I am startled by a Spanish ibex and he is startled by me. He quickly disappeared into the fog. It is closely related to the Alpine ibex.
The Castillo de Chirel is located above the El Júcar Gorge. It was a very important building and an important place for the strategic control of trade on the Júcar route. Dating back to the 15th century, there is evidence that this fortress was one of the most important in the area. The castle is well preserved and with its triangular layout, it conforms to the topography of the country. The fortress lent itself to defense both for its strategic location and for defensive features such as arrow slits and a moat on one side. Although the fortress has been destroyed in parts, you can still see the walls, the water tank and the main tower. There is a rock that rises nicely above the El Júcar gorge. Impressive thick fog and rich cultural heritage make this trail a unique experience.
Gelegen in Cortes de Pallás, in de Umbría de Chirel, vinden we een spectaculaire wandelroute naar het kasteel van Chirel. Hoewel deze plek een geweldig landschap te bieden heeft worden we gehuld in een dikke mist. Het grote voordeel van het slechte weer is dat we niemand tegenkomen. We hebben het rijk voor onszelf. Het eerste gedeelte is nog niet zo steil en is een prima te belopen pad met gruis en kleine stenen. Rechts van me ontwaar ik in de mist een berg, links van me een glooiende afgrond. Daar zou ik prachtige uitzichten kunnen zien als het niet zo’n grijs weer was. Ik zie nu vooral de zijkanten van mijn capuchon en voor me uit een meter of wat, totdat het zicht me wordt ontnomen door de mist. De dauw op de honderden spinnenwebben in combinatie met de mist geven een bijzondere sfeer. Af en toe staan we even stil om op adem te komen. We fantaseren het prachtige uitzicht dat we nu zouden kunnen hebben erbij. Je kunt er maar beter om lachen! Als ik halverwege uitkijk over het bos voelt het alsof ik alleen op de wereld ben. Plots schrik ik van een Spaanse steenbok en hij schrikt van mij. Snel is hij alweer verdwenen in de mist. Hij is nauw verwant aan de alpensteenbok. Het Castillo de Chirel ligt boven de El Júcar-kloof. Het was een zeer belangrijk gebouw en een belangrijke plaats voor de strategische controle van de handel op de Júcar-route. Het dateert uit de 15e eeuw en er zijn aanwijzingen dat dit fort één van de belangrijkste in dit gebied was. Het kasteel is goed bewaard gebleven en vormt zich met zijn driehoekige indeling naar de topografie van het land. Het fort leende zich voor verdediging, zowel vanwege de strategische ligging als door defensieve kenmerken zoals pijlspleten en een slotgracht aan één kant. Hoewel het fort in delen is verwoest, kun je nog steeds de muren, de watertank en de hoofdtoren zien. Er is een rots die mooi uitsteekt boven de El Júcar-kloof. Indrukwekkende dikke mist en het rijke culturele erfgoed maken dit pad tot een unieke ervaring.

A drake American Wigeon (Anas americana) homes in on his target...a hen preening herself off-camera. Unfortunately for him, she wasn't interested.

This pair of Rainbow Lorikeets were sitting in the gum trees twittering away planning their raids on the local fruit trees nearby. They certainly seemed well fed! HWW
Old cemeteries have the most interesting things. This family plot had this fencing around it with the chains you see, the chains had bells on them.
On their tombstones this family's name is "McKean", but on the wrought iron rail it is spelled "MacKean".

I should probably mention to anyone seeing this photo and wanting to visit- it is very steep to get here, with many opportunities to slip and fall. You'll also have to walk in the stream a bit, or just get comfortable hopping. And the trip back up the side is a knee and cardio workout. Worth it though!
You see the look of concentration in his face. This is due to the fact he just hatched this sinister plot to play a trick on his food competitor, the Blue Jay, by hollowing out the peanut and making off with the actual contents but leaving the empty shell in place. He waits nearby and when a Jay falls for this by pulling the empty shell out of the green slinky, he starts laughing his head off. This is where his name comes from - Nuthatch – hatching sinister plots involving nuts. Ok, I won’t lie to you – hatch is related to hack – hacking at nuts wedged in crevices or green slinky like contraptions. But I like my word derivation better.
And this of course, brings us back to sinister plots. (WARNING: this is a rant and has nothing to do with the image)
Has anyone noticed that the price of gas at the pump is basically back to what it was before the price of oil began to tank. Well, you may think it’s because the oil companies finally paid attention to motorists who were loudly complaining that this cheap gas was raising havoc with their engines. (Remember here that the connection is that quality is directly related to price – the higher the price, the higher the quality and vice versa). Hmm, since when have oil companies ever listened to the average consumer? Exactly, never. So, I am sharing the real reason for this increase in price with you. Remember my two recent trips to Elk Island Park in my beat down old truck? Yes, you guessed it. Apparently, these trips of mine increased demand for gasoline so tremendously that prices had to go up in response to this shortage caused by my barreling down the highway. I would have been the last to think that I could single-handedly help out the economy this way. Ahh yes, so very proud. You are welcome!
So, I am left wondering, am I listening to an echo or are they playing the same old refrain (my initial word selection did not use refrain but I want to maintain my family rating; it starts with an s and ends in a t and there are two more letters in-between) over and over, thinking we won’t recognize the tune. Summer – gas price high – Winter - gas price low and it does not seem to matter one iota where the price of oil is at.
