*Süntelbuche im Herbst*

Last Wednesday I drove to the northern Eifel to catch a few autumn moods. Fortunately, the over 200 year old dwarf beech tree on a Celtic burial mound near Blankenheim still had a few autumn-colored leaves ... and occasionally the sun came out.

Letzte Mittwoch fuhr ich in die Nordeifel, um ein paar herbstliche Stimmungen einzufangen. Die über 200 Jahre alte Süntelbuche auf einem keltischen Grabhügel bei Blankenheim hatte zum Glück noch ein paar herbstlich gefärbte Blätter...und gelegentlich zeigte sich auch die Sonne.

The Laohuzui terraced landscape is the steepest, most spectacular and magnificent terraced landscape in chinese province Yunnan.

Here I show one of the many possible variants from a photographic point of view to present this exceptional landscape in the afternoon light.

The managers of this Chinese World Heritage Site have built superb viewing platforms above the rice terraces. One has the impression of floating above the landscape and does not need a drone here.

When I took this picture, the owner told me to keep my fingers away from the beak. They have very powerful beaks that can generate a pressure of 500 up to 2,000+ psi (pounds per square inch). Humans, for example, average a bite force of around 150 psi.

This image was captured at Parrot In Paradise, a parrot rescue, rehabilitation, education and adoption center. We were fortunate enough to stay on the property during our travels on the Big Island of Hawaii. . Being invited into the aviaries with these gorgeous birds was exciting. I was new to using a macro lens and found myself moving closer and closer to the birds. Before leaving I offered many of my photographs to the owners and throughout the years, those images have been used on their website. What golden memories!

I will definitely never question this dude about that

The proof is right there

Hanging in the open for everybody to see

Some of us needs to show off

And some of us knows what we are, who we are - and don't need to show to the whole world that we have balls

I bet those who needs to tell the whole world that they have balls, don't really have them......

I'm cursing in the church now, yes

But it's only my belief

If you respect yourself and love yourself, then you have the balls to stand up for yourself too

Best balls ever

Poor bird, lol - he is a victim of my words

I have to put some extra goodies on my tray today

Phew 😬🤔

Respect sees no color, no religion, much less sexual orientation. It is universal and it is up to us to fight for everyone's right. ️‍🌈

Thank you for your favorites and comments! It's very important to me.

This is just because every Flickr feed needs a photo of a crocodile or alligator — *not* the footwear my son insists on wearing with socks, by the way. He tells me Crocs with socks is a thing. No offense if that’s your style where you live! 😉

I didn’t have a recent crocodile photo, so here’s Alfred the alligator. If I were his mummy crocodile, I’d definitely have named him Alfred. He’s got a bit of a thing for swimming in the rain, clearly. I swear I heard him singing:

I'm swimmin' in the rain,

Just swimmin' in the rain,

What a glorious feeling,

And I'm hungry again.

I'm laughing at clouds,

So dark, up above,

I could swallow that photographer whole,

If someone would just give him a shove.

No fun facts tonight because there is sooo much about these fantastic creatures I'd lose you! Suffice to say both crocodiles and alligators are fascinating survivors from the dinosaur era. After millions of years of evolution, they’ve become ferocious, expert hunters, inspiring equal parts respect and fear. We only have 1-2 fatalities a year from "salties" (saltwater crocodiles) over here. Maybe it's their revenge on people wearing that ridiculous footwear!

Happy weekend, everyone! :)

I guess that is what I like about the sea

It reminds me of feelings

Roaring like this

The noise can be incredible

Crashing waves

This time there was no wind

Just the underlying rest of the storm

Still in the sea

That is us, isn't it

We keep stuff inside

Stuff that needed to be said out loud

Injustice

Being treated with no respect

Mean words from others

Even mean actions from others

All the scars we get

Maybe we act mean towards others because we don't deal with the people that actually was mean to us in the first place

All what we endure

And we just keep them inside us

Doesn't do us any good at all

So important to react

Out of respect for yourself

You grow you know, when you are standing up for yourself

Because that is your job

Luckily there is calm sea too

We all love the reflections and serenity that goes with the calmness

I guess that is what most of us want for ourselves too

Maybe that's why we love water

Water feeds us, nourish us

We can see all sides of our personality in the water and we respect that

We actually love it

Just as we should love ourselves

Just as we should do the honor of respecting ourselves

That's my recipe for nourishing myself

Maybe it will be the recipe for others too

When we do love and respect ourselves, then others will too

It all comes from you

Saw her walking in Vicenza Italy. She radiated serenity..

We need to be environmentally savvy and respect and care for our environment, by doing so we will leave a better world for our children and grandchildren. If we ignore being environmentally friendly we will be left with even more environmental havoc and land will be taken away from us forever.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️

Respect

All is occupied, but feel free to come and visit the public part :)

"Luanes World - Live the Dream", is the newest addition to the Luanes World sims. But as a difference to "Luanes World" @Slice of Heaven and "Luanes Magical World" @ Morning Glow, who are public sims, "Luanes World - Live the Dream" @ Tabara is a residential sim.

The rentals consist of 7 different houses, all with water view.

The rest of the sim is free for all to use, and enjoy.

Note this sim is moderate, so keep everything naughty inside of your house:)

Please respect the privacy of the other tenants - do not contact anybody else, when they are in the privacy of their own home. If you meet them in the public areas, you can of course say hi :)

Price:

Each rental, no matter which house you choose, is 799/week, with a 2 week minimum pay the first time.

After the first payment you can pay between 1-4 weeks at a time.

Prims:

You get 250 prims to decorate the house, and the nearest surrounding with. Please keep within the prim limit, as we all have to share the prims available.

If you need additional prims, you can buy extra prims - in units of 25 prims for 75 linden/week. Write me a notecard if you want your prim limit changed.

Privacy:

Each rental has it's own security orb, and the parcel setting is set to private, so you will be invisible to people from outside the parcel.

You can add people to the security orb, once I have set it up for you.

Music and parcel name and description:

If you want the parcel to have a specific name and/or description, write it in a notecard, and I will add that for you.

Also if you would like a specific music stream, you can put that in a notecard as well, and I will change that for you.

Luanes Residential World Group:

"Luanes World - Live the Dream" @ Tabara has its own group where only tenants will be able to join (as well as subtenants). Only members of this group will be able to rezz on the sim, but the public parts are open for everybody.

Upon renting a house, send me a notecard, and I will invite you to the group, so you can start decorating your new home. Any subtenants you need adding, you put in the notecard as well. Note that this is only needed, if they need to be able to rezz as well.

If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact me. If I am not online, please send a notecard, as my IM's get capped.

Sincerely LuaneMeo.

DO NOT COME CLOSER !

I think I’ve solved our winter energy crisis!

When the lights get turned off between 4 and 7 on those dark winter nights you just need to turn on a few fairy lights!

Problem solved!

I would suggest that there is a double benefit in that when they stop working, you could just sauté then in a little butter and that’s supper sorted too, however these bonnets are not toxic but have no nutritional value, a bit like a cream cracker in that respect.

So far I’ve collected about 150 and arranged them strategically around the house and guess what happened when I turned all the lights off…….…..yes, **** all!

The drawing board beckons, or was it the corkscrew?

Según la tradición un pastor encontró una talla de la virgen María en el río Guadalupe a finales del siglo xiii o principios del xiv. Cerca del lugar donde se encontró la imagen se construyó una ermita alrededor de la cual surgió el asentamiento actual con el nombre de Puebla de Santa María de Guadalupe. Desde la construcción del primer santuario Guadalupe se convirtió en el centro de peregrinación más importante de la península ibérica después de Santiago de Compostela, condición que mantiene en la actualidad a través de la peregrinación que llega de toda España por los caminos de Guadalupe. Esto se debe al hecho de que si Santiago es el patrón de España, la virgen de Guadalupe es la patrona de todas las tierras de habla hispana y ostenta el título de reina de las Españas según la tradición católica. El Real Monasterio de Santa María de Guadalupe es considerado como uno de los mayores símbolos de Extremadura y la Virgen de Guadalupe es también patrona de esta región. El municipio cuenta con gran cantidad de monumentos además del monasterio.

Claustro mudéjar y templete

El Claustro mudéjar de Guadalupe es uno de los mejores de su estilo, construido entre 1389 y 1405. Se compone de dos plantas de forma rectangular, con unos 40 metros de lado y doble número de arcos en el cuerpo alto con respecto al bajo.

Destaca en el claustro el templete realizado con barro cocido y ladrillo aplantillado, decorado con azulejos y yeserías. Corona su arquitectura una flecha con corchetes de cerámica blanca y verde, que se prolonga en un cruz de hierro. Su autoría es de Fray Juan de Sevilla, que probablemente fuera también del propio claustro. Otro templete, más recoleto se localiza frente a la puerta que conecta la actual Hospedería con el claustro, el que existe una réplica de la fuente del lavabo o Lavatorium, realizada en 1402 por Juan Francés y que en la actualidad se sitúa en la Capilla de Santa Ana. Este templete es de planta cuadrada con cuatro arcos de herradura.

This wiry fence is doing its best to keep people from falling off the cliff overlooking a local waterfall. You can just make out the top of the falls in the background. However, the fence itself is not one I would trust to hold me if I lean on it. It is definitely up to people to respect the boundaries and take caution. We love all the snowshoeing we have been doing this month as we continue to get fresh snowfalls everyday. On this day, the snow was so wet, it was a challenge to keep our gear dry. Happy Fence Friday!
