At the open-air museum of Groß Raden. This is the site for a Slavic settlement from the 9th and 10th centuries AD - and show two distinct building phases. The first settlement dates to the middle of the 9th century, but after just a few decades it was totally destroyed through fire. But the settlement was rebuilt again around 900.
The building to the left, with wattle and daub walls, is how the houses in the first phase looked. When the settlement was repopulated they built the kind of much sturdier blockhouses you can see to the right.
The place is thought to have been a gathering place, both for religious things and the exchange of goods, for the West Slavic tribe the Warnower (or Warnabi, Wrani et c. - the name comes in many forms).
The settlement (the name lost to us) was destroyed again around the year 1000 - but how is still a bit of a mystery. It has been speculated, though not proven, that this had something to do with the campaign by German king Otto III against Slavic tribes he made in 995.
After the abandonment this spot was left alone, not used to much more than animal grazing, until the archaeologists started to dig there in the 1973. The museum was opened in 1987. The main archaeologist behind this excavation, Ewald Schuldt, lived to see this, but died just a couple of weeks later.

A large tidal pool left behind on Barassie Beach just pulled me in for this shot of the distant Isle of Arran and crepuscular rays from the edge of a storm cell as the sun was receding towards the horizon.
I don't even care about the completely blown out main highlight in the frame knowing that this scene is just one mile from my new home. I can return, anytime and in any weather. There is a deep sense of peace in that. If you look closely in my previous scene from this sunset you can see the very slight outflow from this tidal pool. It will give a sense of scale, the beach is much deeper than it looks.
Ever since I moved to Scotland 11 years ago I have always been drawn to this stretch of coastline - time and time again. Enjoy.

from the ebird.org website:
"Powerful dark brown seabird, resembles a dark, heavily built immature gull. Note eye-catching white flashes in the primaries when in flight. Adults have distinct pale mottling on the upperparts, which serves to separate them from adults of the very similar South Polar Skua. Juveniles are more uniformly colored, with warm-colored and largely unmarked underparts; note bulkier build and more powerful flight than Pomarine Jaeger.
Breeds locally on moorland of islands and coasts in northern Europe, where aggressive near nests. Otherwise lives at sea, but may be seen from shore during windy conditions during migration periods.
Feeds by pirating gulls and other seabirds, also by scavenging at fishing boats."

a small non-aquatic kingfisher found in woodland, bushed savanna and coastal forests. I had seen it a few times over the years but this was the first time I was able to photograph it.
This bird was looking for prey in the grass below its perch.
They eat spiders, grasshoppers and many other types of insects but will also take small lizards and frogs.

An ema is a wooden plaque on which you write your wishes and prayers. The name is written with the kanji for 'picture' [e = 絵] and 'horse' [ma = 馬], reflecting an ancient belief that horses could bring wishes to the kami, the gods. But emas are not only used at Shinto shrines, they are often seen at Buddhist temples too - a practice that dates back at least to the Kamakura period (that is 1185-1333).
These wooden plaques are often produced for the specific shrine or temple where you can buy them - with a pre-printed picture on one side, with some local meaning (here you can see the foxes, showing that the Hanazono shrine is dedicated to the god Inari, and chickens, hens and a rooster - signifying that at the time of the photo it was the year of the rooster). On the other side you write what you wish for and leave it hanging with all the others.
I am not very good with Japanese writing, but I can decipher that the plaque in the middle to the far right, written 回帰 , means return or comeback. Perhaps reflecting the fact that this shrine is close to the entertainment district.

Shot from Piazza del Campidoglio on the Capitoline Hill, including a view of the Vittorio Emanuele monument (topped by that winged figure to the upper right), the medieval facade of the church S. Maria in Aracoeli, and one of the two statues of Castor and Pollux (can't tell you which one of them though - seems no one can). The statue is actually an ancient Roman piece, found in fragments in 1561, close to Circus Flaminius, where there had been a temple dedicated to them. This colossal statues were probably not the cult statues themselves, but were standing outside the temple. Their heads were damaged when they were found, and as was typical of the time they were therefore restored to look complete (which means that one of them got a completely new head and the other several details on the head). It has been suggested that the two figures were actually portraits of Gaius and Lucius, the grandsons of emperor Augustus. But since the faces have been so damaged, it is impossible to know for sure.
this young cheetah is the leader of a group of 3 that we found in Mara North Conservancy.
While we were following them they were attacked by 2 lionesses from the River Pride. The cheetahs were of course too fast to be caught but the lionesses kept on chasing them for about 15 minutes. This photo was taken after the attacks and when the 3 youngsters were again together and now this cheetah had to decide where to go now.
Later in the trip I found out that this group of young cheetahs had previously been chased out of the Lemek and Enonkishu Conservancies. These conservancies all have big lion prides and large populations of hyena's.
Very challenging conditions for cheetahs.

The inscription over the entrance to one of the Etruscan tombs at the Necropolis del Crocifisso del Tufo (my husband was pointing as he was reading it to me - yeah, he can read Etruscan).
The necropolis is situated below the town of Orvieto (which sadly we did not have time to visit), made by tufa rocks and in use mainly from the middle of the 6th century B.C. and then some hundred years (though the area actually was in use in total from the 8th to the 3rd centuries B.C). There are some 70 family tombs, built almost like small houses, with an entrance and straight walls and a door-opening (and inscriptions over the doors, telling who is buried where).

A view towards the park at Drottningholm palace.
The name Drottningholm literally means the Queen's islet, and is older than the building itself. It used to refer to a palace built in 1580 for the queen Katarina Jagellonica - but that place burned down in 1661, and the current house is the one that was built to replace it. It was on order from the queen Hedvig Eleonora - at the time queen dowager but also regent for her son Karl (Charles) XI that was underage when his father (Karl X) died. The palace was designed by one of Sweden's most well known architects: Nicodemus Tessin the Elder, and after his death the work was continued on by his (equally famous) son Nicodemus Tessin the Younger. The queen used it as a summer residence, and as a place for hunting. The palace continued to be in fashion throughout the 18th century, and got a partly rococo interior during the time of queen Lovisa Ulrika.
But the place fell out of fashion with the new Bernadotte dynasty in the early 19th century, being to closely connected with the earlier regime. The last new add-ons to the place was electricity and modern plumbing at the beginning of the 20th century - after that the focus has been on conservation and preservation. The royal family has lived there since 1981.
In Mara North Conservancy in Kenya the River Pride is led by a coalition of 4 male Lions. These are 2 of those males.

An 8 week old Archie here enjoying some 'catch the string' play. Shot in low light at a high ISO and despite the focus not being perfect, the pose just brings such a smile to my face that I have to share the shot! He is now almost 11 weeks old and has grown so much. I'll have to do another photo-shoot with my wee ball of fluff soon. Enjoy your weekend my friends!
Jesse Jackson is a civil rights legend in America and it was an honor to hear him speak. Considering he's 80 years old and both him and his wife recently just recovered from Covid, I know it could not have been easy to join these protests in Chicago and in Kenosha.

After much consideration, I've decided to take a less active role on Flickr. I have left many of the groups I co-administered and may leave more. For the time being, I really want to spend more time on my faithful contacts' photos.
Have a FABULOUS weekend and I'll see ya Monday!!!

Interior from Garmo stave church at Maihaugen in Lillehammer, Norway. The baptismal font is made from soapstone and dates to the 12th century.
This stave church originally dates to the middle of the 12th century - later expanded in the 18th century. In the 19th century the church was replaced with a newly built on in Garmo and this one was dismantled and sold at auction(!) in 1880. It was bought by Trond Eklestuen, who spent much time buying traditional Norwegian objects (and buildings) and giving them away to museums for preservation. The church ended up at Maihaugen (the largest open-air museum in northern Europe, founded in 1904), a place dedicated to the preservation of Norwegian history and architecture. The church was rebuilt there in 1921.

From Wikipedia:
"The stork-billed kingfisher (Pelargopsis capensis), is a tree kingfisher which is widely but sparsely distributed in the tropical Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, from India to Indonesia. This kingfisher is resident throughout its range.
It is a very large kingfisher, measuring 35 cm (14 in) in length.The adult has a green back, blue wings and tail, and olive-brown head. Its underparts and neck are buff. The very large bill and legs are bright red. The flight of the stork-billed kingfisher is laboured and flapping, but direct. Sexes are similar. . The call of this noisy kingfisher is a low and far reaching peer-por-por repeated about every 5 seconds, as well cackling ke-ke-ke-ke-ke-ke.
The stork-billed kingfisher lives in a variety of well-wooded habitats near lakes, rivers, or coasts. It perches quietly whilst seeking food, and is often inconspicuous despite its size. It is territorial and will chase away eagles and other large predators. This species hunts fish, frogs, crabs, rodents and young birds.
Adults dig their nests in river banks, decaying trees, or tree termite nests. A clutch of two to five round white eggs is typical."

Detail from the choir of the church. The murals are dated to around 1200. In the middle ages, this whole place was covered with those older murals, but parts of them got covered in the 17th century (which is why parts of the murals seem to be covered by other paintwork).
A small, Romanesque church in Myresjö, Småland, Sweden - built in the middle of the 12th century. The church was for a long time parish-church, but deemed unfit for this in 1814 by the bishop. In 1879 the new church was inaugurated (a church the parish shared with neighbouring Lannaskede) and this one was abandoned for some 50 years before it was saved because people finally realized that this was something quite special (today it is considered a church of national interest). During the time it was abandoned it lost most of its roof, but not over the choir and apse, which is why the murals in this part of the church has survived. Some of the original furnishings of the church have also survived.
