The Koppelpoort is a city gate in Amersfoort. It is a combination of a land and water gate. The name Koppelpoort refers to the area outside the gate that was and is called "De Koppel". The area served as a common meadow for, among other things, the farms that were placed inside the walls after the construction of the second city wall.

 

The Koppelpoort could be closed by means of a double treadmill. It still functions.

 

The gate was built between 1380 and 1425 as part of the second city wall. The entire wall was completed around 1450. The gate was attacked in 1427 during the siege of the city. This attack was repelled.

 

The gate was opened and closed every day by wheel turners. The wheel shakers (minimum 12 persons) were picked up in the morning and evening by various guards. It was a very dangerous job: if they didn't start walking at the same time, they could fall and be dragged along, often with fatal consequences. Before the shot could go down, it had to go up first to remove the iron pins that were inside. Only then could it go down. When the shot goes down, walking in the wheel becomes easier and faster, many people trip and break limbs.

De Koppelpoort is een stadspoort in Amersfoort. Het is een combinatie van een land- en waterpoort. De naam Koppelpoort verwijst naar het gebied buiten de poort dat "De Koppel" was en wordt genoemd. Het gebied diende als gemeenschappelijke weide voor onder meer de boerderijen die na de bouw van de tweede stadsmuur binnen de muren waren geplaatst.

 

De Koppelpoort kon worden afgesloten door middel van een dubbele loopband. Het functioneert nog steeds.

 

De poort is tussen 1380 en 1425 gebouwd als onderdeel van de tweede stadsmuur. De hele muur werd rond 1450 voltooid. De poort werd in 1427 aangevallen tijdens het beleg van de stad. Deze aanval werd afgeslagen.

 

De poort werd elke dag geopend en gesloten door raddraaiers. De raddraaiers (minimaal 12 personen) werden 's morgens en' s avonds opgehaald door verschillende bewakers. Het was een zeer gevaarlijke klus: als ze niet tegelijkertijd begonnen te lopen, kon men vallen en de rest meesleuren, vaak met fatale gevolgen. Voordat het schot naar beneden kon, moest het eerst omhoog om de ijzeren pinnen die erin zaten te verwijderen. Alleen dan kon het naar beneden gaan. Als het schot naar beneden gaat, wordt lopen in het wiel gemakkelijker en sneller, veel mensen struikelen en breken ledematen.

Native to the Amazon and the Andes, is a teacher and sacred plant of many indigenous groups, used in Shamanic rites .It inhabited by different spirits by ethnicity or region .. is planted in gardens to repel negative forces and used as analgesic.

The green dock beetle's breeding season is from March to October. There are 2 to 4 broods per year, with the last brood hibernating as an adult. The female lays over 1,000 eggs, laying them in clusters of 20 to 45 on the underside of the food plant's leaves. The eggs are oval in shape, and are cream to yellow, turning orange prior to hatching. After about 3 to 6 days, the larva hatches from the egg. It varies in color from greenish gray to dark brown. Its body is segmented, and will reach a length of 8 mm. Young larvae will drop to the ground if disturbed while feeding, while older larvae secrete a substance which repels competitors from eating the food plant leaves. After three instars, the larva pupates in a burrow about 2 cm underground. The adult emerges 6 to 9 days later.

A multilayer composed of chitin layers alternated with layers which also contain melanin is responsible for the green colouration (this phenomenon is known as structural colour). The development has been investigated using advanced imaging techniques, showing that the multilayer forms during pupation and schlerotisation.

Chapter 4: Finally, the second lion arrived on the scene and the battle began anew. The giraffe, much larger, kicked at the lions with all the power at its command. You can tell from several of the images that there were severe deformities in the giraffe's hooves. Possibly, this is what attracted the lions to this particular giraffe. It may have also hindered the giraffe's ability to outrun his much smaller pursuers. Notwithstanding his misshapen hooves, the giraffe was able to repel his attackers. But as you can see from the last picture, they hadn't given up the fight.

The gate was built between 1380 and 1425 as part of the second city wall. The whole wall was completed around 1450. The gate was attacked in 1427 during the siege of the city. This attack was repelled.

 

The gate was opened and closed every day by the appointed raddraaiers, "wheel-turners". A minimum of twelve wheel-turners were collected morning and evening by several guards. It was an extremely dangerous task; if they did not begin walking simultaneously, then one could fall, dragging the rest along with often fatal results. Before the gate could come down, it had to be raised, to pull out the iron pins that held it in place. Only then could it come down. While the gate was going down, walking in the wheel grew ever easier and faster, and many people stumbled and broke their limbs. The koppelpoort was also never breached.

The Backstory: Don and his wife had been in Egypt the day before this shot was taken, and Don, being the adventurer, stopped at a street-side cafe to enjoy one last cup of tea before traveling on to Jordan. Apparently, the tea water had not been boiled sufficiently and Don was extremely ill within a few hours. His wife and fellow travelers managed to get him to Jordan and put him to bed. After a night’s sleep and a large quantity of Imodium, Don was back on the Camel, so to speak, and made it to Petra where he took this photo with his trusty Point and Shoot.

 

Petra is a historical and archaeological city in southern Jordan. Petra lies around Jabal Al-Madbah in a basin surrounded by mountains which form the eastern flank of the Arabah valley that runs from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. The area around Petra has been inhabited from as early as 7000 BC, and the Nabataeans might have settled in what would become the capital city of their kingdom, as early as the 4th century BC.

 

The Nabataeans were nomadic Arabs who invested in Petra's proximity to the trade routes by establishing it as a major regional trading hub.

 

The trading business gained the Nabataeans considerable revenue and Petra became the focus of their wealth. The Nabataeans were accustomed to living in the barren deserts, unlike their enemies, and were able to repel attacks by taking advantage of the area's mountainous terrain.

 

They were particularly skillful in harvesting rainwater, agriculture and stone carving. Petra flourished in the 1st century AD, when its famous "The Treasury" structure – believed to be the mausoleum of Nabataean king Aretas IV – was constructed, and its population peaked at an estimated 20,000 inhabitants.

 

Although the Nabataean kingdom became a client state of the Roman Empire in the first century BC, it was only in 106 AD that it lost its independence. Petra fell to the Romans, who annexed Nabataea and renamed it as Arabia Petraea. Petra's importance declined as sea trade routes emerged, and after an earthquake in 363 destroyed many structures.

 

In the Byzantine era several Christian churches were built, but the city continued to decline, and by the early Islamic era it was abandoned except for a handful of nomads. It remained unknown to the world until it was rediscovered in 1812 by Johann Ludwig Burckhardt.

 

Access to the city is through a 1.2-kilometre-long (0.75 mi) gorge called the Siq, which leads directly to the The Treasury.

 

Famous for its rock-cut architecture and water conduit system, Petra is also called the 'Rose City' because of the color of the stone from which it is carved. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985. UNESCO has described Petra as "one of the most precious cultural properties of man's cultural heritage".

Repelling boarders from his wall

El Camino de los Españoles es un sendero en el Parque nacional El Ávila, Venezuela , que va desde la ciudad de Caracas hasta La Guaira. El camino fue ordenado en mayo de 1589, por el Gobernador y Capitán General de la Provincia de Venezuela y fundador del puerto de La Guaira, don Diego de Osorio y Villegas. Según hay constancia en un acta de fecha 4 de enero de 1603 por fin se cumple la orden de construcción siguiendo un sendero o pica indígena llamada «La Culebrilla». A los fines de repeler posibles ataques de piratas y bandoleros el camino fue reforzado con fortines, que actualmente se observan en distintos estados de conservación.

As one flickerite observed somebody coming into our town not knowing about Vandenberg Space Force Base (supposedly where they saw aliens flying around decades ago, look it up) might be a little freaked by this sight.

Ok I'll look it up for you -- back in 2003 there has been Senate testimony about a very large, 100 yard square-sided red square that hovered over the base for some 45 seconds before blasting off -- (unfortunately I must not have had my camera ready at that time)

This of course is one of Space X's spectacular dusk launches which thankfully are back on....

 

A garden in Harefield, Greater London, bordering on the canal. Not everybody has a WWII bunker in their back garden. It is still owned by the Ministry of Defence. Its purpose was to defend the canal and repel the expected German invasion. The German military never set foot here, but the bunker is staying. Fuji X-Pro1.

The Castle of Eger gained its historical importance and became famous in 1552, when Captain István Dobó together with a small number of Hungarian defenders repelled the siege of the giant Turkish army. Nowadays the Castle is one of the main attractions of Eger, offering several exhibitions and programs for the interested visitors (virtual tour). But what do we know about the past of the walls we can see today? Here is their history in a nutshell.

 

In the 11th century, the first king of Hungary, Saint István established the first ten bishoprics of the country and made Eger a seat of one. A cathedral was built on the hill of the present castle, and the town was located around it. Although the cathedral has been ruined, we can see its remainings in the castle.

 

The castle was probably built in the second half of the 13th century, after the Mongolo-Tartarian attacks, which destroyed the former Felsőtárkány fortress of the bishop. The Castle of Eger used to be a so-called knight castle with high but thin walls. Therefore, with the appearance of artillery weapons, it became obsolete. As a solution, in the 16th century, they started to modernise it according to the plans of Alessandro Vedani.

 

In 1548, great strategist István Dobó was assigned captain. Preparing for a possible Turkish attack, he continued to strengthen the castle and enlarged the number of military equipment.

 

The siege of the Turks began in September 1552. The Ottoman Army of Suleiman the Magnificent seemed to be unstoppable before. It was divided in three parts, arriving from three different directions, each taking the attacked castles one after the other. These three parts of the army united at Eger, altogether counting about 60 000 soldiers. On the other hand, the number of Hungarian defenders was only 2000. (We can even read their names in the museum of the castle.) Therefore, it is almost unbelievable that they could last for 38 days, and finally, repulse the Turkish enemy, who by that time was suffering from diseases and the cold autumn weather. According to a legend, there were rumours in the Turkish Army about Hungarians drinking the blood of bulls which gave them superhuman power. This was in fact, the famous red wine of Eger, called bikavér (bull’s blood). The women of Eger played an important role in the defence, as they were also fighting heroically. The excellent painter Bertalan Székely commemorated them with his work entitled Egri nők (Women of Eger).

 

Repelling the siege of the thirty times larger army is considered as one of the most important victories in Hungary. Its significance was that the Ottoman Army and its campaign was stopped at Eger and could not reach the almost unfortified northern regions and their valuable mines.

 

Already a few months after the triumph, poet Sebestyén Lantos Tinódi wrote a detailed song (450 stanzas!) about the siege. Thanks to him, the persistence of the warriors of Eger seminated all over Europe.

V. Compensation, 1841

 

POLARITY, or action and reaction, we meet in every part of nature; in darkness and light, in heat and cold; in the ebb and flow of waters; in male and female; in the inspiration and expiration of plants and animals; in the systole and diastole of the heart; in the undulations of fluids and of sound; in the centrifugal and centripetal gravity; in electricity, galvanism, and chemical affinity. Superinduce magnetism at one end of a needle, the opposite magnetism takes place at the other end. If the south attracts, the north repels. To empty here, you must condense there. An inevitable dualism bisects nature, so that each thing is a half, and suggests another thing to make it whole; as, spirit, matter; man, woman; subjective, objective; in, out; upper, under; motion, rest; yea, nay.

Fall 2009

The Chive plants produce a large amount of nectar and are a favourite with bees, but they are repulsive to many insects in general due to their sulphur compounds. They are ‘herbs’ and are used in cooking, the green stalks and unopened immature flower buds are diced and used as an ingredient in many dishes hot and cold, also the chive plant has insect repelling properties that can be used in gardens as a pest control.

  

But nowadays invaders come in the shape of tourists off-loaded from cruise ships . This is the view from Fort George at St George`s , Grenada. built in 1705 - 10 at the top of a steep promontory . There are a collection of ancient cannons aiming at our cruise ship .......we come in peace .

RANK: ARC Lieutenant Grade 1

UNIT: Vornskr, First Regiment, "Bralor's First", 253rd Elite Clone Legion

 

The fighting along the temple wall was brutal, but Vornskr held the line, repelling wave after wave of droid infantry until an armored division attached to the 501st led by an young Jedi mounted a counterattack and shattered the droid offensive. Once relived Lieutenant Galaar and his men were summoned the GAR command center by General Kenobi, the lead Jedi General and commander of all operations on Rhen Var. Along with several other ARC troopers from the Two-Fifty-Third, Galaar was briefed of a developing situation within the data archives of Bravo Base. While the troopers had been busy repelling the droid attack an unknown assailant had slipped into the base and accessed the data core. This infiltrator is believed to be a Dark Jedi, a traitor who had followed in the foot steps of Count Dooku. The Dark Jedi had already been engaged by both troopers stationed at Bravo Base and ARC troopers from the Two-Fifty-Third, both were reporting heavy casualties and failure to stop the intruder. The task of intercepting the Dark Jedi and recovering the stolen data now fell on the ten ARC troopers gathered in the command center who General Kenobi would personally lead.

Upon dismissal the ARCs made their way back to their squads, who they hastily briefed before boarding the gunships, doing their best to pass on the most critical parts of the anti-Jedi training they received on Kamino, to the regs under their command.

 

The flight to Bravo Base was short and the gunships got them as close to the Dark Jedi's last know location as possible, dropping the strike team off in a courtyard within an ancient Jedi temple. Galaar had been tasked with clearing the Northeastern most region of the Temple and lead his men at a slow pace, constantly checking his scopes for any sign of the rouge force user.

 

The signs of battle were everywhere, burn marks and deep gouges covered the walls, and all around lay the broken corpses of fallen brothers. With a sigh Galaar signaled his to keep moving, there was no way they would be able to stop this "Dark Jedi", Galaar wasn't even sure he had enough training to take one on alone and he knew for sure the regs wouldn't stand a chance. The squad ventured deeper into the temple, leaving the carnage behind as they entered another interior courtyard. Stepping the doorway Galaar's scopes suddenly lit up bright red notifying him of hostile forces along the opposite wall, a squad of B1s and a figure dressed in black robes. Cursing Galaar turned and shouted orders to the troopers behind him.

 

"Romeo get on the long range comms and notify General Kenobi that we've found the Dark Jedi, relay our coordinates and let the General know that we have been engaged!"

 

"On it Sir!"

 

"CT-44-5913! CT-45-2601! Get the Plex and Z6 up here now! We need to block him in, target the opposite entrance and bring it down! Tracker! Take your team and flank left! CT-05-4329 take yours and flank right! We need to overwhelm him, once you start shooting don't let up! Alright Vornskr, let's kill this chakaar!"

 

Vornskr sprung into action, executing Galaar's orders quickly and with precision, for a moment it looked hopeful, the droids were cut down instantly, and the Dark Jedi appeared to struggle to deflect the overwhelming base of fire. It was when CT-44-5913 fired a rocket at the opposing doorway from his PLX-1 that the plan fell apart. The rocket stopped midflight as if some thing had grabbed it and Galaar watched in horror as it changed direction and slammed into Tracker's team, obliterating the three troopers. Then an invisible force slammed into Galaar knocking him from his feet as the Dark Jedi used the force to send both clone and droid alike hurtling across the courtyard.

 

Grunting, Galaar dragged himself to his feet, his head was ringing and he could taste blood in his mouth, something was broken. Looking Galaar saw the cloaked figure disappear back into the temple. Galaar knew this was it, he couldn't let him get away, grabbing his blasters Galaar stumbled forward, blasting two droids as they moved to block his path.

 

Activating his comms, Galaar notified command of his situation...

 

"This is Lieutenant Galaar, my squad is down, I am in pursuit of the rouge Jedi"

 

... and with that he disappeared into the temple.

Petra (Arabic: البتراء, Al-Batrāʾ; Ancient Greek: Πέτρα), originally known as Raqmu (Nabataean Arabic: الرقيم), is a historical and archaeological city in southern Jordan. Petra lies on the slope of Jabal Al-Madbah in a basin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of Arabah valley that run from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. Established possibly as early as the 4th century BC as the capital city of the Nabataean Kingdom. The Nabataeans were nomadic Arabs who invested in Petra's proximity to the trade routes by establishing it as a major regional trading hub.

 

The trading business gained the Nabataeans considerable revenue, and Petra became the focus of their wealth. The earliest recorded historical reference to the city was when an envious Greek dynasty attempted to ransack the city in 312 BC. The Nabataeans were, unlike their enemies, accustomed to living in the barren deserts, and were able to repel attacks by utilizing the area's mountainous terrain. They were particularly skillful in harvesting rainwater, agriculture and stone carving. The Kingdom's capital continued to flourish until the 1st century AD when its famous Al-Khazneh facade was constructed, and its population peaked at an estimated 20,000 inhabitants.

 

Encroaching troops of the Roman Empire in 106 AD forced the Nabataeans to surrender. The Romans annexed and renamed the Kingdom to Arabia Petraea. Petra's importance declined as sea trade routes emerged, and after a 363 earthquake destroyed many structures. The Byzantine Era witnessed the construction of several Christian churches. By 700, the city became an abandoned place where only a handful of nomads grazed goats. It remained an unknown place until it was rediscovered by Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt in 1812, sparking renewed interest in the city.

 

The city is famous for its rock-cut architecture and water conduit system. Another name for Petra is the Rose City due to the color of the stone out of which it is carved. It is a symbol of Jordan, as well as Jordan's most-visited tourist attraction. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985. UNESCO has described it as "one of the most precious cultural properties of man's cultural heritage

"The attack on Shelter Base had been repelled, but at a heavy cost, our forces lost the bulk of our armor to the Nimbus Commandos and the Jedi General in charge of the entire campaign was confirmed to be dead along with an Alpha-Class ARC trooper. Legion casualties were high as well, my squad was down to quarter strength and comms chatter across the regiment reflected similar losses. Shelter Base wasn't a victory to celebrate, our forces had been crippled and if it weren't for a short break in the atmospheric storm the battle may have ended there. Reinforcements had finally arrived, gunships set down amidst the carnage and began to offload fresh troops, much needed supplies and even a few Jedi. The replacements were a welcome sight, but we had our doubts, there was a distinct lack of heavy armor and weapons, just troopers. It was as if command had decided that the best way to conquer Jabiim was to throw bodies at the rebels until they drowned in a sea of white plastoid. It wasn't long before command had us resume operations, conducting patrols towards the Razor Coast, the alleged Separatist staging ground. The patrols were tedious, trudging through the mud, hunting snipers, defusing mines and destroying Jabiimi hold outs. A Jedi even accompanied us on a few, his presence seemed to ease the boys nerves, he led from the front using the force the detect danger, acting as a sort of early warning system, alerting us to hidden snipers before they could fire and hidden traps moments before they were sprung. He saved my squad multiple times that day and earned my respect. With his help we were even able to raid a Jabiimi outpost nestled amidst some ruins, we took the majority of the Jabiimi rebels alive and through a mix of Jedi mind tricks and Mandalorian teachings we extracted the whereabouts of Alto Stratus. He was at the Razor Coast licking his wounds after his failed raid on Shelter Base. His death would mean the capitulation of Jabiimi Separatist movement, the only problem would be getting through the thousands of battle droids amassed there. A feat which the Jedi deemed nearly impossible, but we're the 253rd, overcoming impossible odds is our specialty..."

While there is a 4.4 out on the 253rd's discord, I'm afraid this will likely be my last build for some time. Also it took me like 4 hours to get a photo I liked. I blame the winter, it's making my lighting is just funky.

After the most dangerous hike/repel/rock climb adventure I had ever experienced I was rewarded with this sight. There is no official trail to this waterfall. The trek was extremely dangerous with heavy rain the night before. But paradise awaits those brave enough to adventure past your comfort zone.

I have been wanting to shoot this fascinating arch for years. It is the elusive Windstone Arch in the Valley Of Fire. An arch inside a cave. Just for scale, if you look close you can see a rock climber repelling down the side of this massive thing.

 

I took a fairly major roadtrip last week. Left the motorhome behind for over a week. Spent a few nights sleeping in the back of my truck and a few more in a hotel. Finally saw Hole In The Rock Rd. Drove down Cottonwood Canyon Rd. Then hit Toroweap (distant viewpoint of Grand Canyon) Then Valley of Fire. Spent a few nights in Vegas (I hate Vegas, but my boss needed some new shots from there)
