Back to lake Ullswater in Cumbria, taken in the late evening, two image put together one of the sky and the other of the lake and boats!
The Boxdorf Windmill is a former windmill built in 1849 in Boxdorf, a district of Moritzburg.
Until 1652, the Boxdorfer and the Reichenberger farmers had to grind their grain in the Plauenschen soil and in the (somewhat closer) Ockrilla Lease Mill. With the Saxon Constitution of 1831, the grinding force fell away.
The first mill at this site, a wooden pint mill, was built in 1839 by the miller Münch from Zuendorf on the Boxdorf Galgenberg (also: Gallberg). The grinding mill was able to grind eight to ten talents of flour daily. In 1847, the mill was sold to Müller Friedrich Wilhelm Seeländer from Weferlingen near Magdeburg. The mill burned down in a thunderstorm in 1849 in full operation.
Friedrich Wilhelm sold the remains to his brother Heinrich Christoph Seeländer and ran the Loschwitz watermill himself. Heinrich Christoph rebuilt the mill in 1849 as a stone, defensive-tower-like Dutch mill. This is testified by a sandstone with an engraved year above the original entrance door. Six years later Friedrich Wilhelm returned to Boxdorf in 1855 and took over the mill again from his brother. Around 1860 the house belonging to the mill was probably destroyed by arson. The existing residential building was then built.
In the German War of 1866, the Saxon Army, allied with Austria, gathered near Dresden and occupied the mill. The miller was no longer allowed to grind grain as a pressing.
Friedrich Wilhelm Seeländer died in 1877 as a result of a war suffering. Since his descendants had other professions or were too young, the mill came into foreign hands. Friedrich Hermann Müller bought the mill with three meals and a bakery for 11,100 marks. A lightning strike on 27 June 1887 did not result in a fire. Nevertheless, the roof, wings and wave were destroyed. Since in the meantime more efficient working machinery companies had taken over the business, a repair was no longer worthwhile. The mill came to a standstill.
The owner Müller was granted a concession for coffee and beer serving in 1890. Müller opened an economy and on the tower of the mill a wooden observation deck. This was replaced in 1904 by the still existing stone structure with pinnacles.
In 1921 Paul Gantze purchased the mill and had an electric grinding plant reached inside. He moved the banquet to the neighbouring apartment building. In 1927 he built a small hall. The property became a popular excursion restaurant that was in operation until the 1950s.
She is now beginning to approach her 15th birthday (that makes her 90+ in human terms!) and recently arthritis had really slowed her down until someone recommended Jointsure for dogs. This advanced joint support supplement has made a tremendous difference to her life! If you want to know more please visit www.vetwellscientific.co.uk .
Our Bonny Lass was born in Ireland and was originally thought to be a labrador/collie cross - but our dog trainer thought she is a 'Heinz 57 Varieties' with some Lurcher and Staffie thrown in! Whatever she is, she is adorable!

" And it echoes when I breathe
Until all you see is my ghost
Empty vessel, crooked teeth
Wish you could see
And they call me under
And I'm shaking like a leaf
And they call me under
And I wither underneath
In this storm
I am a stranger
I am an alien
Inside a structure
Are you really gonna love me when I'm gone?
With all my thoughts
And all my
Faults
I feel it biting
I feel it break my skin
So uninviting
Are you really gonna need me when I'm gone?"

‘'AND THOSE WHO WERE SEEN DANCING WERE THOUGHT TO BE INSANE BY THOSE WHO COULD NOT HEAR THE MUSIC’‘

Until recently it was believed that this alkaline steppe was formed by the clear cutting of huge forests in the Middle Ages, followed by measures to control the course of the Tisza River, allegedly resulting in the soil's current structure and pH. However, Hortobágy is much older, with alkalinization estimated to have started ten thousand years ago, when the Tisza first found its way through the Great Hungarian Plain, cutting off many streams from their sources in the Northern Mountains. The formation was finished by grazing animals and wild horses during the Ice Age, followed by domesticated animals.

Kingfisher - Alcedo Atthis
Double click..
The common kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) also known as the Eurasian kingfisher, and river kingfisher, is a small kingfisher with seven subspecies recognized within its wide distribution across Eurasia and North Africa. It is resident in much of its range, but migrates from areas where rivers freeze in winter.
This sparrow-sized bird has the typical short-tailed, large-headed kingfisher profile; it has blue upperparts, orange underparts and a long bill. It feeds mainly on fish, caught by diving, and has special visual adaptations to enable it to see prey under water. The glossy white eggs are laid in a nest at the end of a burrow in a riverbank.
The female is identical in appearance to the male except that her lower mandible is orange-red with a black tip. The juvenile is similar to the adult, but with duller and greener upperparts and paler underparts. Its bill is black, and the legs are also initially black. Feathers are moulted gradually between July and November with the main flight feathers taking 90–100 days to moult and regrow. Some that moult late may suspend their moult during cold winter weather.
The flight of the kingfisher is fast, direct and usually low over water. The short rounded wings whirr rapidly, and a bird flying away shows an electric-blue "flash" down its back.
The common kingfisher is widely distributed over Europe, Asia, and North Africa, mainly south of 60°N. It is a common breeding species over much of its vast Eurasian range, but in North Africa it is mainly a winter visitor, although it is a scarce breeding resident in coastal Morocco and Tunisia. In temperate regions, this kingfisher inhabits clear, slow-flowing streams and rivers, and lakes with well-vegetated banks. It frequents scrubs and bushes with overhanging branches close to shallow open water in which it hunts. In winter it is more coastal, often feeding in estuaries or harbours and along rocky seashores. Tropical populations are found by slow-flowing rivers, in mangrove creeks and in swamps.
Like all kingfishers, the common kingfisher is highly territorial; since it must eat around 60% of its body weight each day, it is essential to have control of a suitable stretch of river. It is solitary for most of the year, roosting alone in heavy cover. If another kingfisher enters its territory, both birds display from perches, and fights may occur, in which a bird will grab the other's beak and try to hold it under water. Pairs form in the autumn but each bird retains a separate territory, generally at least 1 km (0.62 mi) long, but up to 3.5 km (2.2 mi) and territories are not merged until the spring.
Very few birds live longer than one breeding season. The oldest bird on record was 21 years.
They are also listed as a Schedule 1 species under the Wildlife and Countryside Act offering them additional protection.
Population:
UK breeding:
3,800-6,400 pairs

És un castell termenat documentat el 1280. Consignada l'antiguitat romana i àrab, la repoblació de Sarroca ve establerta al segle xiv. La senyoria, llavors, recau al llinatge Santcliment. El 10 d'abril del 1357 el rei, que tenia la propietat d'aquest castell, va vendre'n tota la jurisdicció (mer i mixt imperi) a Francesc de Santcliment. Aquesta família, i en concret Comtessina de Barutell i de Botella, vídua de Climent de Barutell, Santcliment i de Prunera, vengué en el 1618 la Baronia de Sarroca i de Llardecans a Josep Castellbell, senyor de Maials i des de la darreria del segle XVIII fins a la desamortització (1831) i l'extinció de les senyories fou de la família barcelonina dels Matas.[2]
La fortalesa encara tingué un paper important durant la guerra del Francès i fou ocupada pels carlins el 1836.[1]
It is a completed castle documented in 1280. Roman and Arab antiquity is recorded, the repopulation of Sarroca is established in the fourteenth century. The lordship, then, falls to the Santcliment lineage. On April 10, 1357, the king, who owned this castle, sold all its jurisdiction (mere and mixed empire) to Francesc de Santcliment. This family, and in particular the Countess of Barutell and Botella, widow of Climent de Barutell, Santcliment and Prunera, sold in 1618 the Barony of Sarroca and Llardecans to Josep Castellbell, lord of Maials and from the end of the 18th century until the confiscation (1831) and the extinction of the lordships belonged to the Barcelona family of the Matas. [2]
The fortress still played an important role during the French War and was occupied by the Carlists in 1836. [1]
"Until we become angels
to make wings,
let's stay with scratches
on the shoulders and back.
To testify that both
we flew high,
as if we slept together in the bed.
Until we find heaven,
let me talk, burn.
To burn in your body
and kiss your mouth.
Until we become angels
to make wings.
let's stay with scratches
on the shoulders and back.
At night to worship you
in flute words,
as if I were throwing you into the fire
the path again.
Until we find heaven,
let me talk, burn.
To burn in your body
and kiss your mouth.
Until we become angels
to make wings ..."
I'm gonna love you, until you hate me
And I'm gonna show you, what's really crazy
You should've known better, than to mess with me harder
I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you
Gonna love you, gonna love you
Like a black widow, baby
This twisted cat and mouse game, always starts the same
First we're both down to play, then somehow you go astray
We went from nuttin' to somethin', likin' to lovin'
It was us against the world, and now we just fuckin'?
It's like I loved you so much that now I just hate you
Feelin' stupid for all the time that I gave you
I wanted all or nothin' for us, ain't no place in between
Might-might be me believing what you say that you'll never mean
Like it'll last forever, but now forever ain't as long
If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be stuck singing this song
You were different from my last, but now, you've got 'em mirrored
And as it all plays out I see it couldn't be clearer
Now sing...
You used to be, thirsty for me
But now you wanna be set free
This is the web, web that you weave
So, baby now rest in peace (it's all over with now)
I'm gonna love you, until you hate me (right)
And I'm gonna show you (show 'em what? Show 'em what?)
What's really crazy
You should've known better
Than to mess with me harder (it's all over with now)
I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you
Gonna love you, gonna love you
Like a black widow, baby
Black, black widow, baby
I'm gonna l-l-l-love you until it hurts
Just to get you I'm doin' whatever works
You had never meet nobody, that'll do ya how I do ya
That'll bring ya to your knees, praise Jesus, hallelujah
That'll make ya beg for it, plead for it
'Til you feel like you breathe for it
'Til you'd do any and every thing for it
I want you to fiend for it, wake up and dream for it
'Til it's got you gaspin' for air, and you lean forward
'Til you have a CAT scan to check on your mind
And there's nothing but me on it (on it, on it)
Now it's me time, believe that
If it's yours when you want it, I want it
Promise I need that
'Til I'm everywhere that you be at, I can't fall back or quit
'Cause this here a fatal attraction, so I take it all or I don't want sh-
You used to be, thirsty for me (right)
But now you wanna be set free
This is the web, web that you weave
So, baby now rest in peace (it's all over with now)
I'm gonna love you, until you hate me (right)
And I'm gonna show you (show 'em what? Show 'em what?)
What's really crazy
You should've known better, than to mess with me harder
I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you
Gonna love you, gonna love you
Like a black widow, baby
Bla-bla-black, black widow, baby

the same Lioness as the one posted for World Lion Day.
A young mother that just had her first litter of small cubs.
We found her when she was trying to find out where the main pride was. Lions are very social .
Before this shot she had been roaring to give the other adults of the pride an indication where she was.
A Lioness will wait to join the pride with her cubs until the cubs are somewhat older and more resilient. Until then she keep the cubs at a safe den site and leaves her den to hunt and to drink.

Have a great week ahead!! 😀 ✌️
Flowering bush with yellow flowers in Montmartre with the white dome of Sacré-Cœur in the distance. The square consists of a green area extending upwards to the top of the hill in a series of terraces with lawns, flowerbeds, shrubs, and trees.
The park was known until 2004 as Square Willette and was renamed after Louise Michel (1830-1905), a French anarchist who participated in the Paris Commune of 1871 before being deported to New Caledonia.
This image is a true oldie, it has been sleeping on my hard drive for almost exactly five years. Now that it's only a few days until Christmas, it "woke up" and demanded its place in the Flickr limelight, because even though it doesn't look particularly Christmassy (it had been pretty mild on that day, something like 12 °C), it is a Christmas image, because I've captured it on Christmas Eve 2016 from aboard a small cruising ship on our way to Vienna. There even is some cloud pareidolia to be found here, I see a weird duck and a (very human-like) eye looking upwards ;)
In post I've jazzed up the (very pastel) colours a little and did some subtle denoising, that's all. I don't know whether I will also take a special Christmas image this year, probably not. So I wish you all Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas already now. I wish you relaxed, happy days, stay safe and healthy, and take care! I'll be back for Macro Mondays' "Redux" in a week :)
Dieses Foto ist ein echter Oldie – und ein echtes Weihnachtsbild, auch wenn es nicht so aussieht. Aufgenommen habe ich das Foto (mit dem manuellen "Altglas" OM Zuiko Auto-S 50mm F/1.4) am 24.12.2016 zu Beginn einer Flusskreuzfahrt (meiner ersten und sehr wahrscheinlich auch letzten, Kreuzfahrten sind, glaube ich, nicht so meins) auf der Donau (laut Flickr in "Nideristaraich"). Es war sehr mild gewesen, so um die 12 °C, weshalb es auch keinen Schnee gab. Dafür hatten wir zum Heiligabend mal keine dichte Wolkendecke gehabt (wie sonst die gesamte Fahrt über), sondern diesen entspannten, stimmungsvollen Sonnenuntergang, bei dem es sogar ein wenig Wolkenpareidolie zu sehen gibt: Ich sehe hier eine etwas seltsame Ente und ein ziemlich menschlich aussehendes Auge, das nach oben blickt ;)
Bearbeitungstechnisch habe ich lediglich die Farben aufgepeppt und das Foto dezent entrauscht. Vermutlich ist dies auch schon mein Weihnachtsfoto für dieses Jahr, ich weiß noch nicht, ob ich noch ein extra Foto machen werde. Wir sehen uns aber auf jeden Fall nächsten Montag beim "Redux"-Thema für Macro Mondays wieder ;) In diesem Sinne: Habt trotz der angespannten Lage schöne, entspannte, friedvolle Weihnachten, passt weiter gut auf Euch auf und bleibt gesund :)
I felt alone
until night rose up to greet me
and offered its comfort.
Companionship in solitude
is always a welcome reprieve.
We were alone
together
and that was enough;
Night held onto me
without a word or a touch
but it was there, present,
Its silence was pure
not filtered like my own
It gave me space
yet surrounded me
both protective and open
asking nothing,
Its presence gave me peace.

I will be away for a few days as it's the August vacation here. Will be missing all your lovely photography. :(
Spinalonga, was the last leper colony in Europe....
in 1579 the Venetians built a mighty fortress here on the ruins of an ancient acropolis. The Venetians kept control of the island even after the rest of Crete fell to the Ottomans in 1669 and it remained under their control for almost another half a century until its capitulation in 1715.
What i see
is not what you see
What i see
is conflict
is contradiction
is chaos
packed inside tight
pushed up against
my ribs
my brain
my soul
With every encounter
with every interaction
a little piece of me goes missing
weakening the coping mechanism
until it seizes up
wearing me down
from the inside out
until I'm replaced
Making you feel uneasy
Now the real me is gone and forgotten
- L. Magic

until you make it. White Christmas is one of the dreams most of us have since their early childhood. As in previous years my home area East Westphalia enjoys a green Christmas time and we have to look back several years to remember significant snowfalls. So please forgive me to fake a little bit by posting an older picture with snow, just to show the younger ones that there was a time with real Winter. Enjoy your holidays.

After more then two months of recovering from my knee injury I finally went out again! I would have loved to visit the beach but this is still a bit too much. Kinderdijk on the other hand is easily accessible and I was so happy to shoot a nice sunset with a bit of glow. I also bumped into another photographer and we had a nice chat about everything that makes this hobby so worthwhile. Well, you don’t know what you miss until its gone and I’m looking forward to get out more often coming weeks!
Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!

Still here
I'm still here
I'm still here
You're so far away, so far away
Shut my eyes, I hear your voice
But it's barely there, just barely there
Why do we always do this to ourselves?
Living like two strangers in hell
So hey, don't you wanna be with me tonight?
I've got a bottle of rum that will see us through 'til morning light
We could talk things through like the good old days
Don't you remember? Don't you remember?
Or are you so far away?
It's just the part of me that meets the start of you
Don't get caught in between, when the bridge is falling through
I can't wake up, I can't wake up
Can we make up? Can we make up?
It's just the part of me that meets the start of you
Close the door it's getting cold
Are you staying in? I guess there's always room
If the Lord should take me tonight
Would you stand and stare, or would you fight?
So hey, don't you wanna be with me tonight?
I've got a bottle of rum that will see us through 'til morning light

It's just the part of me that meets the start of you
I won't give up, I won't give up
It's just a part of me
I won't give up, I won't give up

I'm thinking that I'll need a new location, possibly out on the Pacific coast. These were some that came late on an old fallen tree. Stack of 20 images.
Thanks for Explore! Also, I really want to thank all of you that have and are supporting my images with Faves and comments! ~ Thanks!, Gracias!, Merci!
Some days are long, white, cold, but at the end of the day you may have accomplished a lot. There are these jobs at home that I avoid until the very last moment... a 'half' night shift 😉...
The was from 1926 until 1932 US Highway Rt 66. In 1932 a new alignment of the mother road was completed and by passed the old bridge. The new alignment is back behind the bridge with the car light trails going along it
One last look at this mystery before moving on to other content. I like this perspective as it shows the building with the vast open fields surrounding it. The branches from the tree also add an interesting touch!
The debate of whether this was a school or a house seems to be 50/50 based on your comments. I'd like to think that potentially it was both. I'll continue to try and find an answer but my research has yielded few results.
Let me know which angle is your favorite!

Winter has not passed until the April moon glitters.
Proverb
The contrast between the two statements is evident.
Yet the latest news say that winter is really over.
Record temperatures over most of Europe and Central / Northern Italy, at the beginning of March will also arrive in Southern Italy
Obviously not hold in consideration of the sudden changes of the weather nowadays ....
Probably this is the news expected by everyone and the speech ends here .... and they lived happily ever after ...
This is Perugia, my regional capital, I must say that I found the city in great shape compared to the last time I visited and I had also spoken here ... clean, well lit, many nice places to eat "young" cheap, .... I hope it is not just an impression of my enthusiasm ....
I hope you have a good week, flickr friends : )
