Ludwigsburg is a city in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) north of Stuttgart city centre, near the river Neckar. It is the largest and primary city of the Ludwigsburg district with about 88,000 inhabitants. It is situated within the Stuttgart Region, and the district is part of the administrative region (Regierungsbezirk) of Stuttgart.

Ludwigsburg Palace (Residenzschloss Ludwigsburg), also known as the "Versailles of Swabia", is a 452-room palace complex of 18 buildings located in Ludwigsburg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Its total area, including the gardens, is 32 ha (79 acres)—the largest palatial estate in the country. The palace has four wings: the northern wing, the Alter Hauptbau, is the oldest and was used as a ducal residence; the east and west wings were used for court purposes and housing guests and courtiers; the southern wing, the Neuer Hauptbau, was built to house more court functions and was later used as a residence.
Eberhard Louis, Duke of Württemberg, appointed Philipp Joseph Jenisch to direct the work and construction began in 1704. In 1707, Jenisch was replaced with Johann Friedrich Nette, who completed the majority of the palace and surrounding gardens. Nette died in 1714, and Donato Giuseppe Frisoni finished much of the palace facades. In the final year of construction, Eberhard Louis died and the Neue Hauptbau's interiors were left incomplete. Charles Eugene's court architect, Philippe de La Guêpière, completed and refurbished parts of the New Hauptbau in the Rococo style, especially the palace theatre. Charles Eugene abandoned the palace for Stuttgart in 1775. Duke Frederick II, later King Frederick I, began using Ludwigsburg as his summer residence in the last years of Charles Eugene's reign. Frederick and his wife Charlotte, Princess Royal, resided at Ludwigsburg and employed Nikolaus Friedrich von Thouret to renovate the palace in the Neoclassical style. Thouret converted much of Ludwigsburg's interiors over the reign of Frederick and later life of Charlotte. As a result of each architect's work, Ludwigsburg is a combination of Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassical, and Empire style architecture.
The constitutions of the Free People's State and Kingdom of Württemberg were ratified at Ludwigsburg Palace in 1919 and 1819, respectively. It was the residence for four of Württemberg's monarchs and some other members of the House of Württemberg and their families. The palace was opened to the public in 1918 and then survived World War II intact. It later underwent periods of restoration in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1990s and again for the palace's 300th anniversary in 2004. The palace had more than 350,000 visitors in 2017 and has hosted the Ludwigsburg Festival every year since 1947.
Surrounding the palace are the Blooming Baroque (Blühendes Barock) gardens, arranged in 1954 as they might have appeared in 1800. Nearby is Schloss Favorite, a hunting lodge built in 1717 by Frisoni. Within the palace are two museums operated by the Landesmuseum Württemberg dedicated to fashion and porcelain respectively.

The German city of Ludwigsburg hosts the largest pumpkin festival in the world, held annually from early September to November. Bringing in more than 400,000 pumpkins grown in southwest Germany, the city arranges them based on a theme that varies year by year. The festival includes more than 450 species of pumpkins, some of which are edible and others that are solely used for display purposes.
Themed Displays
The annual Ludwigsburg Pumpkin Festival has a different theme each year, with pumpkins stacked together to create shapes unique to a subject. In 2011, the pumpkin garden was transformed into a "Jurassic Park," with pumpkins arranged in the shape of dinosaurs. The 2010 festival was island-themed, featuring pumpkins arranged as an octopus, a mermaid, a lighthouse and other sea creatures. In 2012, the festival was Switzerland-themed, with pumpkins displayed to resemble the Swiss flag, livestock and the Alps. Thousands of pumpkins are stacked together to build each year's unique creations.
Food and Drink
The German festival offers an array of pumpkin-flavored dishes, including pumpkin soups, "maultaschen" (ravioli), risotto, strudel and spaghetti. Visitors can also order pumpkin-flavored sparkling wine. Previous festivals have offered various types of the gourd-like squash, including the "Blue Banana," the "Speckled Hound," the "Little Blue Hungarian" and the "Japanese Microwave Pumpkin," all of which can be used for cooking. For those interested in making their own dishes, the festival shop also sells pumpkin seed oil, marmalade, chutney, seeds and cookbooks.
Activities
The Ludwigsburg Pumpkin Festival features various autumn-themed activities. Using a spoon and a carving instrument, visitors can choose to carve their own pumpkins or watch sculptors transform them into artwork. On Saturdays, you can listen to live music while drinking pumpkin-flavored sparkling wine. Families with kids can let their children roll around in the "playground," a large pen filled with hay. Past festivals have hosted costume contests and pumpkin-carving competitions during the week of Halloween.
Annual Events
On one day each fall, the festival includes a race featuring canoeists paddling across a lake using boats made from hollowed-out pumpkins. The annual race takes place on the lake across from Ludwigsburg Castle. With the pumpkins frequently weighing more than 200 pounds, they are difficult to keep afloat. Ludwigsburg also features an annual competition to find Europe's heaviest pumpkin. On the last day of the festival, which marks the end of the season, the winning pumpkin is smashed after being on display for weeks.

It is nearly impossible to describe the beauty you will encounter while travelling across Rocky Mountain in Colorado during early October! Thick aspens (Populus tremuloides) in patches with their golden leaves stand against lush green mountains. Ice peaks over 12,000 feet rising through the forest truly enhance the beauty of its landscapes.
Rocky Mountain
Rocky Mountain National Park in northern Colorado is one of the most distinctive of America's alpine area parks. It is home to a vast collection of 72 peaks that scrape the skies at over 12,000 feet and offers diverse geography that encompasses barren alpine tundra and thick, lush forests. While summer crowds help to make the park one of the top 10 most visited in the national park system, autumn provides a quieter time to enjoy the vibrant colors of the changing seasons. September and October typically experience dry, moderate weather, making for ideal visits.
Trees
The park's fall colors are most defined by the legions of white-barked aspen trees that line the valleys and mountains. Starting in late August, aspens in the highest reaches of the park begin their annual quaking, a term to describe the aspens unique leaves changing a golden-yellow hue. As the quaking progresses the park's high country becomes striped with color, appearing on fire from a distance. These trees become yellow in mid-September and provide crisp shades of gold and red into October. The colors contrast with the deep greens of the evergreen trees that make up the majority of tree species in the park. The peak season for fall colors comes in late-September and the changing colors generally last four to five weeks. Hundreds of elk migrate down from the high country to find a mate for the winter.
Intensity of Fall Colors
Aspen (Populus tremuloides) are among the most colorful and wide-spread color-changing trees in Rocky Mountain National Park. Experience suggests to us that aspen produce more or less colorful leaves from year to year, and that these differences seem to relate to weather patterns, soil fertility, and the amount of moisture they received during the growing season.
Ecological mysteries of fall colors-
Recently scientists put forward an intriguing alternative explanation for intense fall colors in some trees (Ecol. Lett. 6, 807, 2003). Mountain birches in Norway may use intense fall colors to signal leaf-chewing insects not to infest them. The intensity of color seems to be an indicator of how much chemical defense compound the tree can produce. In the case of the mountain birches, an inchworm (geometrid) moth lays eggs on the trees in the fall. The following spring the eggs hatch, and the moth caterpillars eat the trees' leaves. Trees that can produce larger amounts of chemical defenses to make their leaves unpalatable receive less damage. The trees with the most intense leaf colors in the fall also have the least damage the following spring, suggesting a direct relationship between chemical defenses and intense colors. Over time, perhaps the moths have learned to avoid laying eggs on trees with the most highly colored leaves!
Its not know whether the same thing happens in Rocky Mountain National Park's aspen or other trees. We do know there are many different representatives of the inchworm or geometrid moth family in the park. However, whether you enjoy fall colors because they are beautiful or because they may reveal scientific secrets, Rocky Mountain National Park offers an excellent opportunity to experience a glorious autumn.
The colors of the Rockies are truly singular
The colors of the Rockies are truly singular, that is, they are all yellow. Gorgeous expanses of yellow aspen (Populus tremuloides) color the mountain sides, contrasting firmly with the dark green spruces and firs. The orange, red, and purples of the east seem absent.
The autumn colors in leaves are produced by an interestingly subtractive process. In summer, green chlorophyll masks the colors of several other pigments that exist in leaves, pigments that, like chlorophyll, assist with photosynthesis. These yellow, red, and purple pigments - carotene, xanthophyll, and anthocyanins - produce the bright fall colors, but only after the chlorophyll wanes as temperatures cool and days shorten. As autumn proceeds, even these hardier pigments ebb, and leaves become brown, gray, or black.

With so many landmarks, restaurants and shopping to experience, visitors can save time (and their feet) by taking a convenient bus tour of the city's highlights. Bus tour companies offer narrated excursions, often in open-topped, double-decker vehicles, to top attractions like the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Times Square and Central Park. Bus companies sell tickets that allow visitors to hop on and hop off whenever they choose, while specialty itineraries -- like nighttime tours of the city -- focus on a singular aspect of New York. ~ traveltips.usatoday.com/sightseeing-bus-new-york-12084.html

Bais sandbar appears and disappears with the tide. For $20, you can spend one night in any of the 3 huts. This included transfer either from Manjuyod or Kanibul pier of Bais (the huts are 20 minutes from the Negros island, deep into the Tanon Straight), running water for washing and bathing which the staff replenish regularly, petroleum light but endless dramatic and existential possibilities.
May 8, 2006 note: the price has gone up to about $50/night but the rate is still a steal. But there is now a solar panel which allows for full lighting at night!

Promthep Cape is a windswept promontory that juts into the Andaman Sea at the southernmost tip of Phuket. Also written Phrom Thep Cape or Laem Promthep, it is regarded as one of the most beautiful spots in Phuket. The view here is certainly breathtaking, especially during sunset. Depending on the time of the year, the tall grass at Promthep Cape may change from verdant green to golden brown.
