The historically preserved half-timbered cemetery church from the second half of the 16th century and its surrounding area have undergone extensive renovations in the past five years. Thanks to these changes, the complex has transformed into a pleasant oasis in the middle of the city, radiating the charm of history, comfort and interesting discovery. Additionally, there is plenty of entertainment and experiences for the whole family.
Visitors can explore a lapidarium with historical stone and wooden artifacts (crosses, tombstones, parts of portals, and sculptures) as well as partially restored original architecture (floors, roofs, galleries, benches, and more) inside the church. The church can be visited during May and June only on weekends, from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. During the summer holidays, it will be open every day except Monday.
The historic structure is surrounded on all sides by a newly revitalized park with rich shrub and herb plantings, providing visitors a pleasant retreat amid a flood of flowers and scents. Nectar-producing plants also offer food for pollinators and, consequently for their predators, such as songbirds. Trees felled during the renovations have been repurposed as beetle habitats, creating a habitat for beneficial insects associated with decaying wood.
Part of the park, freely accessible every day except Monday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, includes a new nature trail with accurately rendered models of the most common local insect species and interesting information about them. The trail connects the church area with its immediate surroundings, creating a larger complex that, in addition to educational stops, offers entertainment, social, spiritual and cultural-aesthetic experiences.
Winter’s magic transforms the countryside into a serene masterpiece, and this stunning blue barn in Fife Lake is the perfect centerpiece. Captured after a fresh December snowfall, the scene exudes rustic charm and peaceful stillness. Growing up here in this area, I’ve always loved how the snowy landscapes create a timeless beauty. ❄️
I suppose it only fitting that life will take root in the structure itself. You see bricks are made from clay and concrete is made from lime, sand and gravel. So, the trees find a way to latch onto the core materials of the building. As they do, with a helping hand from rain and freezing temretures, the once rock hard building materials return to their soil beginnings, providing more material for nature to take root. Nothing goes to waste.

Transformar: Hacer que una persona o cosa cambie de forma o de aspecto
Si os fijais no hacen mas que hablarnos de la cantidad de cosas que nos transforman.... la música, el amor, los hijos, el matrimonio, las dificultades, las alegrías
Todo el mundo tiene una justificación frente a los demás para alegar ser como es...
"Es que a mi el..... me ha cambiado la vida" ,..."Yo no era así pero fue encontrar ...... y me cambió la manera de pensar ...."
No se,,, creo que en realidad solo hay 3 o 4 cosas importantes que te pueden marcar en tu vida,, el resto es puro carácter y maduración personal
Si le damos tanto valor a esa cantidad enorme de factores influyentes terminaremos diciendo como Oscar Wilde: "Discúlpeme, no le había reconocido: he cambiado mucho"
Come down off your throne and leave your body alone - somebody must change
You are the reason I’ve been waiting so long - somebody holds the key
Well, I’m near the end and I just ain’t got the time
And I’m wasted and I can’t find my way home
Come down on your own and leave your body alone - somebody must change
You are the reason I’ve been waiting all these years - somebody holds the key
Well, I’m near the end and I just ain’t got the time
And I’m wasted and I can’t find my way home...

LIGHT BLOOM by HYBYCOZO is a limited-time exhibit where nature and light converge. This mesmerizing display invites you to explore the Garden transformed by stunning geometric light installations that illuminate the beauty of the desert landscape in a new way. As the sun sets, LIGHT BLOOM comes to life, casting intricate shadows and vibrant hues across the Garden. Wander the trails and let the enchanting installations transport you to a magical realm where the natural world meets the abstract.
HYBYCOZO is the collaborative studio of artists Serge Beaulieu and Yelena Filipchuk. Based in Los Angeles, their work consists of larger than life geometric sculptures, often with pattern and texture that draw on inspirations from mathematics, science, and natural phenomena. Typically illuminated, the work celebrates the inherent beauty of form and pattern and represents their ongoing journey in exploring the myriad dimensions of geometry. HYBYCOZO is short for the Hyperspace Bypass Construction Zone, a nod to their favorite novel (The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) and was the title of their first installation in 2014. They continue to create under this name. In the novel earth was being destroyed to make way for a bypass. It lead Serge and Yelena to ask what it means to make art at a time where the earth’s hospitable time in the universe may be limited.

Q: Walk us through your creative process?
A: The focus of our creative process is to explore the intricate interplay between geometry, light, space and to inspire contemplation, wonder and a sense of place among our audiences. Geometry and pattern-making serve as the backbone of our creative expression. It is the framework through which we navigate the complexities of form, proportion and spatial relationships. Patterns, both simple and complex, have a profound impact on our perception and understanding of the world. They possess the ability to evoke a sense of order, balance and aesthetic pleasure. Pattern making and geometry offer us a means of storytelling and communication. These patterns serve as conduits for deeper exploration, provoking introspection and contemplation to uncover the underlying symbols embedded within the human psyche.
Q: What inspired the concept of LIGHT BLOOM?
A: Just as many cactus and desert plants have evolved to produce night-blooming flowers, adapting to their environment and thriving in darkness, our sculptures come alive after sunset, blossoming with light and transforming the night into a glowing landscape of art and geometry.
Desert Botanical Garden has an incredible collection of plants and cacti arranged in a beautiful park setting.
"Think the desert is all dirt and tumbleweeds? Think again. Desert Botanical Garden is home to thousands of species of cactus, trees and flowers from all around the world spread across 55 acres in Phoenix, Arizona."

This started around the white 6 x 6 “train roof” wedge part. I’ve seen it in quite a few builds online over the years and I never owned before so I added a pair to one of previous BL orders so I could see if I could use it myself.

Montenegro is a country in Eastern Europe bordering Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo, Albania and the Adriatic Sea. It used to be a part of Yugoslavia. The capital is Podgorica. The name Montenegro is Italian and means Black mountain. Montenegro was an independent princedom between 1878 and 1910 and an independent kingdom until 1918. That year Montenegro became part of Yugoslavia. In 2003 Yugoslavia was transformed into the new country of Serbia and Montenegro, but this fell apart in 2006 when both countries went their separate ways. Montenegro is therefore the youngest country in Europe. Montenegro is not a member of the European Union, but it is a member of NATO. Despite the fact that Montenegro is not yet an EU Member State, people do pay with the euro. Montenegro may be small, but this beautiful nation has a huge array of natural and man-made wonders. Once overlooked in favor of more famous Mediterranean countries, Montenegro is quickly gaining a reputation as a great place to travel. It's easy to see why. The mountainous hinterland is home to deep gorges, flowing rivers, glacial lakes and old-growth forests, popular for adventure activities. Petrovac is located on the coast between Budva and Bar, where the old mountain road from Podgorica reaches the coast. It has a 600 m long sandy beach and it is a popular tourist destination. Petrovac is seen as a somewhat "calmer" resort. The European Dream Islands are two wonderful islands, officially called Big and Small Katic, and in everyday life called Katic and the island of Sveta Nedelya Holy Resurrection. They are located in the Adriatic Sea opposite the Petrovac resort.
The island of Sveta Nedelya or called Katic is located one kilometer from the city beach of Petrovac. This island is made of stone, it is quite small in size. It is located so that it is closed from the side of the coast of Petrovac by another stone island - Katic, overgrown with pine trees. You can get here by swimming, on catamarans or a boat. On the island of Sveta Nedelya there is a small church with the same name as the island itself. There is an amazing legend associated with this island and this church. She tells us that sailors miraculously escaped during a storm on this island. After this event, the sailors literally built a church on bare stones, which to this day is considered a talisman for local sailors and fishermen. There are reefs near these two islands. The most interesting dives take place near the Donkova Seka underwater cliff. This part of the Adriatic Sea is under the protection of the state of Montenegro and is considered a protected area.
Montenegro is een land in Oost-Europa en grenst aan Bosnië en Herzegovina, Servië, Kosovo, Albanië en de Adriatische Zee. Vroeger was het een deel van Joegoslavië. De hoofdstad is Podgorica. De naam Montenegro is Italiaans en betekent Zwarte berg. Montenegro was tussen 1878 en 1910 een zelfstandig prinsdom en tot 1918 een zelfstandig koninkrijk. Dat jaar werd Montenegro onderdeel van Joegoslavië. In 2003 werd Joegoslavië omgevormd in het nieuwe land Servië en Montenegro, maar dit viel in 2006 uit elkaar toen beide landen een eigen weg gingen. Montenegro is misschien klein, maar deze prachtige natie heeft een enorm scala aan natuurlijke en door de mens gemaakte wonderen. Ooit over het hoofd gezien ten gunste van meer bekende mediterrane landen, krijgt Montenegro snel een reputatie als een geweldige plek om te reizen. Het is gemakkelijk te zien waarom. Het bergachtige achterland herbergt diepe kloven, stromende rivieren, gletsjermeren en oerbossen, populair voor avontuurlijke activiteiten. Petrovac ligt aan de kust tussen Budva en Bar, waar de oude bergweg, met hellingen van de omliggende heuvels, van Podgorica de kust bereikt. Het eiland Sveta Nedelya ligt op een kilometer van het stadsstrand van Petrovac. Dit eiland is gemaakt van steen, het is vrij klein van formaat. Het is zo gelegen dat het vanaf de kant van de kust van Petrovac wordt afgesloten door een ander stenen eiland - Katic, begroeid met pijnbomen. Je kunt hier komen door te zwemmen, op catamarans of een boot. Op het eiland Sveta Nedelya staat een klein kerkje met dezelfde naam als het eiland zelf. Er is een verbazingwekkende legende geassocieerd met dit eiland en deze kerk. Ze vertelt dat er ooit op dit eiland tijdens een storm zeelieden op wonderbaarlijke wijze zijn ontsnapt. Na deze gebeurtenis bouwden de zeelieden letterlijk een kerk op kale stenen, die tot op de dag van vandaag wordt beschouwd als een talisman voor lokale zeelieden en vissers. Er zijn riffen in de buurt van deze twee eilanden.

The first place we headed to once arriving at Death Valley on this round was Dante’s View. Here, at 5’476 feet (1,669 meters) above sea level, you get an outstanding view of a good chunk of the park overlooking Badwater Basin. As Badwater Basin is as low as 282 feet (86 meters) below sea level, this is seen from well over a mile up. This year, however, water has been present in the basin. That’s not unheard of, though the fact this water has been there for better than five months is. The park was hit by Hurricane Hillary last year that dumped more rain in the park in an hour than it typically receives in a year. Considered a ‘millennial event’, the result was major damage throughout the park from flooding, transforming the face of the park in many places overnight. Wildrose Road and Titus Canyon are still impassable and may take many years to recover.
The park is still getting rain as of this past week in an ongoing event that meteorologists have dubbed an ‘atmospheric river’. That has left the park with 4.9 inches of rain over the last six months, which is more than double the normal 2 inches of annual rainfall. That has been good for the wildflowers found in Death Valley, though few are evident in the Badwater region due to the high concentration of salt. That salt is apparent here as white spread throughout the basin. Whenever water covers Badwater Basin, it becomes the ephemeral pluvial body known as Lake Manly. According to NASA’s Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite, Lake Manly spread to 6 miles long and 3 miles wide in early February of this year, ranging as deep as 3 feet. It was fascinating to be here during such an historical occurrence.
Across the basin from here is snowcapped Telescope Peak in the Panamint Mountain Range. At 11, 049 feet (3368 meters), it is the highest peak in Death Valley National Park.

[13:24] Bri se quedaba quieta mientras el brujo empezaba a inmovilizarla con las cadenas de plata —Es la primera vez que tengo el apoyo de alguien una noche como esta durante tres años si esa es tu pregunta— confesaba nerviosa, sintiendo ese gesto que trataba de transmitirle fuerza y experimentando una especie de dejavú con Inar como cuando en un pasado le recordaba que debía ser más fuerte que la bestia para lograr controlarla ¿Ya estaría delirando? No estaba segura, pero los ánimos del mutado y de Inar le vinieron bien en esos momentos para coger confianza en sí misma mientras sentía de nuevo esos escalofríos, pero esta vez más violentos. Eran como latigazos que recorrían su espina dorsal, su piel se erizaba y su respiración se agitaba iniciando una sudoración nerviosa. Los ojos azul limón de la maldita se tornaban anaranjados y brillantes como si fueran llamas, permitiéndole empezar a agudizar sus sentidos —¡Marcha!— pedía a Eldridge, sintiendo su sangre bullir y llegando a escuchar voces fuera de la cueva. Los aldeanos preocupados al otro lado de la montaña en la posada, los alaridos de las bestias que ya despertaban desde la lejanía, el goteo del agua en la cueva de la náyade y los continuos latidos del brujo. Eso le tranquilizaba en parte, porque sabía que estaba ahí, que continuaba siendo su apoyo y que no dudaría en pararla si fuera necesario a espadazos para que no hiciera daño al resto.
[13:31] Eldridge podía ver a la cazadora, la mujer que había aguantado durante tres años aquellas noches sin ningún tipo de apoyo ni ayuda. El mutado había salido al exterior ante su orden y tal como habían quedado cerraba la entrada de la cueva. El gran pedrusco resonó haciendo eco en ese estruendoso golpe que levantó el polvo de la piedra. Eldridge se quedó en el exterior quieto esperando con los ojos cerrados, quería escuchar el proceso de la transformación y su resultado ¿Lograría Bri controlarse? ¿Lograría dominar a la bestia? Podía escuchar el crujir de los huesos, en ese característico ruido como si se rompiera algo y se volviera a construir uniendo piezas, era un sonido de lo más siniestro pero el brujo carente de sentimientos no respondía ante esos posibles estímulos de ‘temor’ ‘miedo’ ‘angustia’ el semblante era serio. De momento el paciente brujo aguardaba a la espera de los gruñidos de la bestia del interior de la cueva.
[13:36] Bri confusa e inquieta, la rubia de cortos cabellos terminaba por caer de rodillas al suelo ahogando un grito de puro dolor, doblegada por la voluntad del licántropo que habitaba en su interior y que la fatídica Luna Llena exigía que saliera a la luz ¿Esta vez la podría controlar como la anterior? ¿Sería al final aquello un caso aislado? ¿Mataría al brujo si lograba salir de la cueva? Aquellas dudas tan solo pasaron fugaces por su mente cuando quedaba casi inconsciente con el inicio de la metamorfosis. El primer grito fue desgarrador, una presión inhumana naciendo de la punta de los dedos le desfiguraba sus pequeñas manos. Sus uñas se alargaban y endurecían, abriendo paso a unas poderosas garras peludas que desgarraban la carne humana. Este proceso fue simultáneo al de los pies, transformándose en unas gigantescas pezuñas que se aferraban a la tierra con furia al igual que sus zarpas, hundiendo la tierra bajo la atroz fuerza de estas. La maldita agonizaba entre gritos y jadeos de puro tormento mezclados con gruñidos de la bestia que feroz y ansiosa se despertaba en ella. El siguiente y doloroso cambio fue el que de sentir como si le rajaran las encías con cuchillos desde dentro y escarbaran hasta lograr sacar unos enormes colmillos afilados, creando un alargado hocico y el alargamiento de sus orejas. La transformación terminó cuando el vello empezó a marcar todo su robusto y monstruoso cuerpo bípedo soltando un feroz rugido que resonaba por todas las paredes de la cueva creando eco. La mujer lobo se miró a sí misma, tratando de imponerse contra la bestia que luchaba con domar su conciencia, pero no, quería ser más fuerte que ella y esta vez le quiso echar un pulso ¿Lo había logrado? Cerró los ojos con fuerza, tenía hambre, mucha y podía invadirle las fosas nasales el aroma del brujo. Había sido mala cosa no comer nada por culpa de los nervios, pero creía ser capaz de controlarla. Se sentía como la anterior Luna Llena, pero la diferencia es que tenía mucha hambre.
