Red Legged Partridge - Alectoris Rufa aka French Partridge

 

The red-legged partridge (Alectoris rufa) is a gamebird in the pheasant family.

 

It is sometimes known as French partridge, to distinguish it from the English or grey partridge.

 

This partridge breeds naturally in southwestern Europe (France, Iberia and northwest Italy). It has become naturalised in flat areas of England and Wales, where it was introduced as a game species, and has been seen breeding as far north as Cumbria and eastern Yorkshire and the western Isle of Man. It is replaced in southeastern Europe by the very similar rock partridge (Alectoris graeca). It is a non-migratory terrestrial species, which forms flocks outside the breeding season.

 

This species breeds on dry lowlands, such as farmland and open stony areas, laying its eggs in a ground nest.

 

The natural range of the red-legged partridge is France, Spain and Portugal. However, it was introduced from France to Great Britain in the 18th century, and has since become an important gamebird there. As it is a mediterranean species, it thrives in hot, dry areas with sandy soil. The ability to breed two clutches simultaneously has led to it being extensively reared in captivity, and released for shooting. The breeding of chukars (Alectoris chukar) and red-legged/chukar hybrids is prohibited, due to its impact on wild populations of red-legs. The red-legged partridge is believed to be in decline across its range.

  

The Boxdorf Windmill is a former windmill built in 1849 in Boxdorf, a district of Moritzburg.

 

Until 1652, the Boxdorfer and the Reichenberger farmers had to grind their grain in the Plauenschen soil and in the (somewhat closer) Ockrilla Lease Mill. With the Saxon Constitution of 1831, the grinding force fell away.

 

The first mill at this site, a wooden pint mill, was built in 1839 by the miller Münch from Zuendorf on the Boxdorf Galgenberg (also: Gallberg). The grinding mill was able to grind eight to ten talents of flour daily. In 1847, the mill was sold to Müller Friedrich Wilhelm Seeländer from Weferlingen near Magdeburg. The mill burned down in a thunderstorm in 1849 in full operation.

 

Friedrich Wilhelm sold the remains to his brother Heinrich Christoph Seeländer and ran the Loschwitz watermill himself. Heinrich Christoph rebuilt the mill in 1849 as a stone, defensive-tower-like Dutch mill. This is testified by a sandstone with an engraved year above the original entrance door. Six years later Friedrich Wilhelm returned to Boxdorf in 1855 and took over the mill again from his brother. Around 1860 the house belonging to the mill was probably destroyed by arson. The existing residential building was then built.

 

In the German War of 1866, the Saxon Army, allied with Austria, gathered near Dresden and occupied the mill. The miller was no longer allowed to grind grain as a pressing.

 

Friedrich Wilhelm Seeländer died in 1877 as a result of a war suffering. Since his descendants had other professions or were too young, the mill came into foreign hands. Friedrich Hermann Müller bought the mill with three meals and a bakery for 11,100 marks. A lightning strike on 27 June 1887 did not result in a fire. Nevertheless, the roof, wings and wave were destroyed. Since in the meantime more efficient working machinery companies had taken over the business, a repair was no longer worthwhile. The mill came to a standstill.

 

The owner Müller was granted a concession for coffee and beer serving in 1890. Müller opened an economy and on the tower of the mill a wooden observation deck. This was replaced in 1904 by the still existing stone structure with pinnacles.

 

In 1921 Paul Gantze purchased the mill and had an electric grinding plant reached inside. He moved the banquet to the neighbouring apartment building. In 1927 he built a small hall. The property became a popular excursion restaurant that was in operation until the 1950s.

This church was built 1795-1798, replacing an older one that had burned down after being hit by lightning. Today the place is most well known for being the final resting-place for the author Selma Lagerlöf (in the cemetery to the west of the church).

replacing an earlier photo of Dandelion :-) got them in droves all over the garden. Close look reveals a very complicated flower, and a very beautiful one.

Still practicing with the A9, despite it being cloudy this morning, with little sun.

Edited in Capture One, and still learning that too. Tried removing the noise as much as possible, but there's still a bit too much there for my liking.

But, I'll keep percevering.

On 26/1/2019 I replaced the original noisy image with an edit from Lightroom.

The first attempt to replace the wooden fort with a stone kremlin was recorded in 1374, but construction was limited to a single tower, known as the Dmitrovskaya Tower (this has not survived). Under the rule of Ivan III, Nizhny Novgorod played the role of a guard city, having a permanent garrison; it served as a place for gathering troops for Moscow’s actions against the Khanate of Kazan. In order to strengthen the defenses of the city, construction works on the walls began again.

 

Construction of the stone Kremlin of Nizhny Novgorod began in 1500 with the building of the Ivanovskaya Tower; the main work commenced in 1508 and by 1515 a grandiose building was completed. The oak walls that formed the old fortifications were destroyed by a huge fire in 1513. The two kilometer wall was reinforced by 13 towers (one of them – Zachatskaya – was on the shore of the Volga; not preserved, but was rebuilt in 2012). This “Stone City” had a permanent garrison with solid artillery weapons. With the fall of Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin lost its military significance, and later it housed the city and provincial authorities.

During the World War II, the roofs of the Taynitskaya, the Severnaya, and the Chasovaya Towers were dismantled and anti-aircraft machine guns were installed on the upper platforms. Thus, the fortress defended the airspace of the city from the Luftwaffe. The Luftwaffe bombed the Kanavinsky Bridge and the Fair, but the Kremlin's air defense defended these objects.

The Council of Ministers of the RSFSR issued an order on January 30, 1949 for the restoration of the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin.

In October 2018, archaeologists discovered the remains of a medieval settlement and cemetery on the site of the destroyed church of St. Simeon Stylites. The finds belong to the 13th century, and the most ancient cultural layer - to 1221, when Nizhny Novgorod was founded. After all the excavations, the exhibits will be museified, and the church of St. Simeon the Stylite will be recreated at this place.

In 2021, before the 800th anniversary of Nizhny Novgorod, a major restoration was carried out. Under its terms, the most important thing was the restoration of the historic "battle road" inside the Kremlin wall. The city had been waiting for this event for 230 years. Since August 2021, locals and tourists can walk a full circular route along the large fortress wall while inside it. Its length is 2 km.

The oldest part of the church is Anglo-Saxon, stone built in the 9th century, replacing an older wood and mud building. The nave was without aisles and two of its original windows are preserved in the Anglo-Saxon walling at the west end of the nave. These were unglazed and were closed in bad weather by wooden shutters wedged into a rebate cut into the outer edge of the window. High up in the north wall of the nave are three Anglo-Saxon circular windows, probably the upper storey. The ring of holes drilled round them held wattle rods used in the construction of the windows.

 

Aisles were first added in the 12th century. On each side of the nave two low arched openings pierced through the existing walls gave access to the aisles. These openings were swept away when the present arcade was put in in 1812, but the Norman angle-shafts to the responds can be seen in the wall at each end of the arcade. In the 15th century wider aisles were built, the Norman south doorway moved out to its present position and a porch was built. At the east end of each aisle is a squint giving a view of the altar. One of these is a very rare squint passage which, prior to the installation of choir pews, would have allowed access to the altar. In the North aisle the west wall contains a 13th century lancet window. The south wall of this aisle was at first the outside wall of the church and the rough area of plaster above the Anglo-Saxon window is the original exterior plaster of the Anglo-Saxon church. The wooden box chest is dated 1634. There are some medieval tiles (13th-14th century) on the floor near it and also a few in the south aisle.

 

The wooden balcony in the nave is the 15th century rood loft, one of the very few which have survived. When removed, probably early in the reign of Elizabeth I, it was carefully hidden behind a lath and plaster covering against the east wall of the nave, discovered there in 1812 and since repainted. The wooden screen below the loft is Victorian.

 

The tower is 15th century. On its floor stands the Norman font (early 12th century). The Font Figure has long been the subject of speculation and debate. However, recent research identifies the carving as being that of St Michael, on an original Saxon font, over-cut by Norman carvings and 16th century desecration. St Michael is also depicted on the font at Winterbourne Monkton, but the Avebury font carving is far earlier than that of Winterbourne Monkton and the saint is depicted as holding a crozier- not a symbol of Episcopal power but rather cosmic, supernatural power. The carvings show two serpents with twisted tails, their heads turned towards the figure of a bishop or Archangel Michael holding a crozier; popular pictures in the middle-ages showed Christ trampling on the dragons of evil and sin. It is also worth noting that the tree, carved in one piece, 12 pillars of wood/ tree trunks circling the font contains a wonderful array of birds.

I visited here in October and the bridge was shut then, apparently its gone altogether now. I hope they replace it with a bridge that is beautiful as well as functional.

A "Happy Smile on Saturday" 😊

Stay safe / Bleibt gesund.

Thank you for all your views, faves and comments.

Despite the mixed bag of weather we've been getting lately - and a general feeling that the bird migration has been slowed by the cold nights and a couple of surprise snowfalls - there's no doubt that the spring resurgence of life on the northern prairie is underway. Therefore, over the next few days, we'll look at some signs of spring in and around Grasslands NP.

 

First up, this Black-tailed Prairie Dog with a mouthful of dried grass. The little rodents have been foraging now for several weeks, replacing fat reserves lost over the winter. I've watched them digging roots and clipping last year's grass, but recently they've been adding a little fresh salad to their diet.

 

Endless entertainment for a photographer visiting dogtown...

ENG: The Schäzlerpalais Staircase in Augsburg can be seen, this museum houses the municipal and state art collection. It is located at the Herkulesbrunnen, directly at the corner of Maximilianstraße and Katharinengasse and used to be the city palace of a banker.

 

The former Palais House on site was replaced by a new building in 1765. This rococo palace was built according to plans by the Munich court architect Karl Albert von Lespilliez. The construction work took four and a half years. In October 1958, Wolfgang Freiherr von Schaezler (fourth generation) donated the building to the city of Augsburg on condition that it never be sold and used exclusively for cultural purposes.

 

GER: Zu sehen ist das Augsburger Schäzlerpalais Treppenhaus, dieses Museum beherbergt die städtische und staatliche Kunstsammlung. Es liegt am Herkulesbrunnen, direkt an der Maximilianstraße Ecke Katharinengasse und war früher das Stadtschloss eines Bankiers.

 

Das ehemalige Palais Haus vor Ort wurde ab 1765 durch einen Neubau ersetzt. Dieses Rokoko-Palais entstand nach Plänen des Münchner Hofbaumeisters Karl Albert von Lespilliez. Die Baumaßnahmen dauerten viereinhalb Jahre. Im Oktober 1958 schenkte Wolfgang Freiherr von Schaezler (in vierter Generation) das Gebäude der Stadt Augsburg mit der Auflage, es niemals zu veräußern und ausschließlich für kulturelle Zwecke zu nutzen.

There are so many places that are perfect for a bench.

This is the St. Laurentius Chapel in the beautiful Rhön- Biosphere Reserve. Behind the scene is the mountain range called Skittles, with rolling hills and a long long road, it is 431 above sea level. (NN) The single tree and chapel blend so nicely into the landscape. I have a confession to make. Next to the chapel there was 1 car and 5 unknown people having a conversation. They already had 80% thicker cheeks from all the chatting, real photo bombs. Which isn't my cup of tea. So I removed them without further ado, but no one died. They were so small it wasn't a problem. Oh oh ;-)) Of course, instead of using PS tools, I would have replaced them with the camera and a long exposure, at least partially, but unfortunately I forgot my tripod and filters. I will definitely come back here sometime, because there is a wonderful view of the other side from the bench. I can't wait because, I have nice memories of that day.

  

HBM, everyone!!!

 

Thanks for taking the time to look at my photo, I appreciate that very much!

Over time, something newer and flashier takes your place. Outrageous, in my opinion! Treasure these broken gems, they just need a little love to shine again.

When Iceland changed from left hand traffic to right hand traffic in 1968 the whole bus fleet in Reykjavík had to be renowed and all the old yellow buses where replaced by beautiful new, green Volvo buses. After faithful service this one was parked in the beautiful valley Vatnsdalur in northern Iceland where it now gives horses a shelter from the storm.

CSX SD40-2 8833 is seen leading L071 eastbound at East Newport, passing the old Prentiss & Carlisle site on the right. The 8833 was one of the first CSX six axles to come up here replacing the old Pan Am power, and has since remained as a mainstay of the six axle power that has been used for the Rigby to Mattawamkeag jobs.

my 40mm lens broke over a year ago now, and i finally replaced it. i first got one back in 2016, and i was taken with it, and used it predominantly that spring and summer season. the photos struck me as some kind of visual representation of moonbounces or marshmallows.

have not been on Photoshop for a while so just having a play on days off

... and should-haves with fuck-yeahs and no regrets.

replaced with _X4A8764+kenko36mm

Nylon strings are traditionally tied behind the bridge, but I've found that after years of use strings begin to saw through the wood where they are tied. I've found that using tiny blocks of wood to secure the wood avoids the issue.

View along the Transporter Bridge abutment which led to the first pier. The buildings on the left were a ticket office and waiting room later repurposed as an electricty sub station.

 

The Widnes–Runcorn Transporter Bridge crossed the river Mersey and Manchester Ship Canal linking the towns of Runcorn and Widnes.

 

Completed in 1905, it was Britain's first transporter bridge and the largest of its type ever built in the world.

 

It continued in use until 22 July 1961, when it was replaced by a through arch bridge, now known as the Silver Jubilee Bridge in 1961.

 

The transporter bridge was then demolished though traces of the bridge can still be seen on the Widnes side of the River Mersey.

 

I replaced my old Nikon F mount macro lens with the Laowa 100mm manual focus Macro lens and tried it out on this cricket. Also used a flash and small diffuser. I missed the focus on the eyes a bit but I still like the picture a lot. More motivation to get it perfect next time :).

I walk on my own to think it over

I can't believe this is real

It all seems so clear

All seems so right

I can't put on words how I feel

In time you'll see

What you mean to me

Everyday I think of you

There's nothing here in the world

That can replace you, no

There's nothing here in the world

I can face without you, no

I'm lost in your eyes

You dream me away from here

Far away, where I can feel no pain

With you i feel safe

I know you keep me out of harms way

In time you'll see

What you mean to me

Everyday I think of you

There's nothing here in the world

That can replace you, no

There's nothing here in the world

I can face without you

Anytime you doubt with us

Makes you wanna run away

You think of what we have

If it feels like everything goes there away

I'll be standing here

There's nothing here in the world

That can replace you

There's nothing here in the world

That can replace you, no

there's nothing here in the world

I can face without you

Nothing in this world can replace you

There is nothing

There is nothing

There is nothing
