The church is located on an elevated plateau in the middle of the town of Jastrebarsko. The history of the church goes back to the Middle Ages, however, no substrate has been preserved from the oldest layer. The first known major renovation took place in 1757, when the wooden belfry was replaced by a larger masonry one with a baroque cap. In 1788, the construction of the new church was completed. A single-nave hall building is created, supported by a series of Czech vaults, with a slightly narrower sanctuary closed by a narrowed apse. In 1880, the church was seriously damaged in an earthquake, so the need for renovation was used to reshape the facade in the then-current style of historicism. It is a significant monument of the Jastrebarsko region with its design qualities and historical value.
The sun breaks above the horizon, illuminating the barren landscape of the Blue Hills, composed of eroded Mancos Shale. The area is often likened to the surface of the Moon or Mars- this viewpoint is called "Moonscape Overlook," and the Mars Desert Research Station is located nearby. The lack of vegetation is associated with the instability of the substrate, though a few scattered shrubs (including Mat Saltbush, Atriplex corrugata) and annual herbs (e.g. Brittle Phacelia, Phacelia demissa) can survive on these soils.
Nothing like a nice talon soak to remove all that old rotten fish smell. Skamania Co, WA, 22 Nov 2020.

I love the dreamy inner world of this delicious rose flower. It seems to pull me into its starry center as I try to pass it by. I'm captivated by the way the morning light creates translucent pink highlights, the rosy petals and golden connective holes. Here is a close up of the very center. www.flickr.com/photos/jungle_mama/4454252899/
A woody, evergreen shrub with vigorous growth, Allamanda may reach a free-standing height of 6 feet or more. The leathery leaves are lancelike, pointed, and may be opposite or in whorls of three or four. The large trumpet-shaped flowers may be yellow, white, purple, pink or orange. Their scent is delicate and fruity.
In the wild, Allamanda grows along riverbanks and open, sunny areas with adequate rainfall and perpetually moist substrate. The plants do not tolerate shade, salty or alkaline soils; they are highly sensitive to frost. Allamanda are otherwise undemanding and in appropriate conditions will grow rapidly, from 3 to 9 feet annually. The seed capsules are oval and prickly; cultivated forms rarely produce seeds, but Allamanda are easily propagated from cuttings. Discarded cuttings are quick to take root.
Allamanda have become naturalized throughout the tropics; they may be seen in roadside ditches, abandoned yards and dumps. As a controlling measure, cutting is ineffecive with Allamanda and will lead to vigorous coppicing ( reshooting from the stump or roots). Because of its fast growth, Allamanda has been introduced widely as a groundcover, for hedges and screens.
Yellow Allamanda cathartica is notable for its medicinal properties: all parts of the plant contain allamandin, a toxic iridoid lactone. The leaves, roots and flowers may be used in the preparation of a powerful cathartic. The milky sap is also known to possess antibacterial and possibly anticancer properties. Gardeners exposed to the sap will develop rashes, itc, and blisters.
Allamanda is named after Dr. Frederich Allamanda (1735-1803), a Swiss botanist of the late 18th century.

Coeloglossum viride (Orchidaceae) 162 22
Coeloglossum viride is a widespread but highly localized orchid with a circumferential distribution throughout most of Europe. Its choice of habitat is extremely varied and the species can be found in dry or wet conditions, in full sun or shade and on alkaline or acid substrates. Although it may occur at high altitudes throughout its distribution, in the south of it is range it is virtually confined to mountain grasslands and light woodland. Coeloglossum viride can tolerate altitudes up to nearly 3000 meters and is perfectly at home growing alongside more specialized Alpine orchids such as the Vanilla Orchids.
Quinag is an 808 m high mountain range in Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands, with an undulating series of peaks along its Y-shaped crest.
