Loevestein is een kasteel en fort, dat valt onder de gemeente Zaltbommel, en even ten noordwesten van het dorp Poederoijen is gelegen aan het einde van de Schouwendijk in de uiterwaarden van de Waal en de Afgedamde Maas.
Ridder Dirc Loef van Horne gaf rond 1357 opdracht tot de bouw van het kasteel. Hij gebruikte het als woonhuis, van waaruit hij rooftochten kon houden en illegale tol kon heffen. Na hem kwam het slot in handen van de heer van Holland en werd het gebruikt als verdedigingswerk tegen andere feodale heren. In het begin van de Tachtigjarige Oorlog, toen het kasteel was bezet door Spanjaarden, werd het in opdracht van Willem van Oranje eenvoudig ingenomen door de geuzenleider Herman de Ruyter. De Spanjaarden veroverden het nog Ă©Ă©n keer terug, maar daarna bleef het Staats bezit. Tot na de Belgische Revolutie deed het kasteel dienst als staatsgevangenis, met als bekendste gevangene Hugo de Groot, die na twee jaar kon vluchten met behulp van een boekenkist. In Staatse handen kreeg het moderne verdedigingswerken en werd het als fort onderdeel van de Oude en de latere Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie. De militaire functie werd in 1951 opgeheven. Van 1925 tot 1986 werd het complex gerestaureerd; momenteel doet het dienst als rijksmuseum en heeft het de status van rijksmonument.
Ruins castle Nijenbeek.
Descendants of William Steenbergen inhabited the castle until 1778. It then passed to the family Schimmelpenninck van der Oye and in 1991 a member of the Van Lynden family. Initially, the building was rebuilt several times until a suitable tower.
In the last weeks of the Second World War there was a German unit stationed, which were driven by the Canadians with a grenade bombardment which inflicted considerable damage. Since then, the tower has fallen into disrepair. Plans to at least the much-needed recovery to be carried out each walked to nothing but ruin in 2015 by order of the trustees of the estate was Poll consolidated, including to open up to him from 2017 to visitors. This will, however, according to the managers but to a small degree (four times per year), due to the presence of protected species.

WSOR train L599 is crawling through Slinger on the approach to Ackerville, where train L249 is waiting to swap trains. The snow is deep enough to make the track look like a slot car track.
Antelope Canyon, Page, Arizona.
This slot canyon is located on land owned by the Navajo Nation and has become a photographer's mecca--seeking just the right shot as the sun shines brilliantly down through the slots. However, as more and more serious photographers discover this astonishing place, it becomes harder to deal with the crowds and more difficult to set up properly for good shooting conditions.
The Antelope Canyons are located in the Navajo reservation area north of Arizona. These canyons may be one of the greatest wonders deep in the southwest.
Geez, casinos are pretty sensitive about folks taking pictures of slot machines. But, I swear, the guy at the front when we checked in told me that I just had to avoid taking pictures of the security cameras and the gamblers.

Slot canyons along the Spooky Gulch Trail in Grand Staircase Escalante, Utah. At one point, the slots were barely two feet wide. The light above barely shining through made it very spooky indeed, but, the tightness was no worries for us.
Slot canyons are formed by rushing water, which in turn erode the rock/stone away. About a week before we were here, flash floods ripped through Escalante. These canyons have been formed over time, tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years. Our time here was just but a word on a page of a book with millions of chapters.
