Jungfrau Park is an amusement park located near Interlaken, Switzerland. It opened as the Mystery Park in 2003, and closed in November 2006 due to financial difficulties and low turnout. The park was designed by Erich von Däniken, and consisted of seven pavilions, each of which explored one of several great "mysteries" of the world. Von Däniken opened the theme park to present his interpretations of unsolved mysteries involving extraterrestrial life that he believes took place around the world.
" ...And sometimes it seemed that something never seen yet long desired was about to happen, that a veil would drop from it all; but then it passed, nothing happened, the riddle remained unsolved, the secret spell unbroken, and in the end one grew old and looked cunning ...or wise...and still one knew nothing perhaps, was still waiting and listening."
~ Hermann Hesse, Narcissus and Goldmund
A fog bow, a fitting final morning to wondrous New Zealand trip with Rod Trenchard.
Nikon D810, Nikkor 14-24mm @ 14mm
11 files at f/11, ISO 31, 1/20 , 1/15 and 1/10s focus stacked and stitched vertically. Cropped to 4x5 ratio,
Paths winding back to home
with singing trees and a blanket of fog.
Wandering footsteps; always alone
Shadows lingering with unsolved mysteries,
Tree framed laneways and painted light
Rustling leaves, a stranger perhaps?
While birdwatching the other day this "strange visitor" showed up foraging under the feeders, and keeping its distance, which they so often do.
It wasn't until looking at my photos later did I realize it was a Brown Thrasher that didn't have any tail feathers! No idea what happened here - if it had a close call with a predator, or what? Or even if it's temporary?
I know juveniles have blueish eyes and tails, so looks like this tale will remain unsolved.
An oddity here at our local cemetary, posted in honor of 06-06-06. Our dear departed Lilly has inspired much speculation, but the facts remain elusive. The best information out there comes from writer and Flickr-ite Richelle Hawkes. Please read her latest article:
You know I have only seen about three monarch butterflies all year and yesterday afternoon I went out on our back deck…we have a large stand of butterfly bushes some standing eight to ten feet tall in a garden straight out from the deck about fifteen feet away. Next to the deck are smaller butterfly bushes and all of them are still blooming profusely. I sat down and suddenly noticed that the taller bushes were very active and a closer look revealed dozens of Monarchs. I couldn’t get a good shot of them because they were in the tops of the bushes and when I moved closer my view was obstructed by lower branches. Luckily as I sat there watching a couple came to the closer and lower bushes…I couldn’t get a shot of the large mass of them I wanted but I did get a half dozen shots of one.
“Unlike most other insects in temperate climates, Monarch butterflies cannot survive a long cold winter. Instead, they spend the winter in roosting spots. Monarchs west of the Rocky Mountains travel to small groves of trees along the California coast. Those east of the Rocky Mountains fly farther south to the forests high in the mountains of Mexico. The monarch's migration is driven by seasonal changes. Daylength and temperature changes influence the movement of the Monarch.
In all the world, no butterflies migrate like the Monarchs of North America. They travel much farther than all other tropical butterflies, up to three thousand miles. They are the only butterflies to make such a long, two way migration every year. Amazingly, they fly in masses to the same winter roosts, often to the exact same trees. Their migration is more the type we expect from birds or whales. However, unlike birds and whales, individuals only make the round-trip once. It is their children's grandchildren that return south the following fall.
Another unsolved mystery is how Monarchs find the overwintering sites each year. Somehow they know their way, even though the butterflies returning to Mexico or California each fall are the great-great-grandchildren of the butterflies that left the previous spring. No one knows exactly how their homing system works; it is another of the many unanswered questions in the butterfly world.”

The Danube is Austria's principal river and the longest in Europe after the Volga. Although barely more than 300km/185mi of the river's total course of some 2,900km/1,800miles - from its source in South Germany to its outflow into the Black Sea in Romania - lie within Austria, the names of Austria and the Danube are so closely linked that it is difficult to think of the one without the other. As the only major European waterway flowing from west to east, the Danube has for thousands of years played an important part in the history of the many peoples through whose territory it flowed. It marked out the route of the great military highway which ran from the Rhine to the Black Sea; the Romans built a series of fortified camps such as Vindobona and Carnuntum along the valley; the legendary Nibelungs came this way; and here, too, passed the Celts, Charlemagne's Franks, Frederick Barbarossa's Crusaders and finally Napoleon. In the opposite direction, going upstream, Attila led his Huns towards France and the Avars and Hungarians pressed into western Europe. Great battles which decided the fate of Europe have been fought on the banks of the Danube: twice the West withstood Turkish assaults at Vienna, and at Aspern (now within the city limits of Vienna) Napoleon suffered his first defeat in 1809. The Danube and the regions along its banks have become threatened by attack from chemical waste and by the power stations which affect the water-balance. As a result, in recent years the idea of making the area below Vienna a protected national park has attracted considerable support; however, the problem of finance is as yet unsolved. Between the German frontier at Passau and the Upper Austrian town of Linz the Danube describes a series of great loops in the forest-fringed valley between the Mühlviertel to the north and the Innviertel to the south. Below Linz lies the Strudengau, a wooded defile between Ardagger and Ybbs, and beyond this, extending to Melk, stretches the Nibelungengau, with the conspicuous pilgrimage church of Maria Taferl. The best-known stretch is perhaps the Wachau, with a series of ancient little towns between Melk and Krems. Just beyond this, through the Tullner Basin, lies Vienna, and the low-lying area which extends eastward to Hainburg and Bratislava (the Czech Republic) begins to take on the aspect of the Hungarian puszta.

HKUST (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology) student Alex Chow Tsz Kok died on Friday 8 November after serious injury in the scene near a clearance operation of a protest.
There are so many unsolved questions around the suspicious injury of Alex Chow and also complaints against police in delaying paramedic rescue of the victim.
It is Remembrance Day and I could not help in thinking of all the protesters who have been injured or fallen in the pro-democracy movement since June 2019.

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will find them gradually, without noticing it, and live along some distant day into the answer.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
When life is foggy, path is unclear and mind is dull, remember your breath. It has the power to give you the peace. It has the power to resolve the unsolved equations of life.

The nice people at the botanical gardens did not know exactly what the white stuff it. They do know that the plant is producing it. I asked what it was because I thought that is was a fungus. Now my guess is that this is a way for the plant to entice insects.

This is the famous Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany which was built by the eccentric King of Bavaria, Ludwig II, also known as the 'Mad King'. He was believed to be mentally ill and was dethroned for that reason. 2 days after the dethronement he was found dead in the Lake Starnberg. His death remains Bavaria's greatest unsolved mystery...
Macro Mondays theme : Damage
Rest assured that I didn’t break this little Christmas ornament for the only purpose of this photoshoot. In a matter of fact, who broke it remains a mystery! The incident happened last Christmas and the case is unfortunately still unsolved. The best explanation would be that the cat broke it! But the only problem is that we don’t have a cat! Oh well!
My broken bauble is 2” in diameter and upon inspection, no fingerprints can be found on its surface. The only explanation is that it must be the work of a professional! Suggestions anyone?
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments

in the morning snow
Little flakes of snow fell
On the highway that day;
As perfect white ash
That could turn back into old flames
You could see the subtle lights prevail
Of all the little people driving home.
Human in metal on stone.
Born of glass.
The air was coloured bitter blue
You could taste it almost
Clinging to the crimson cracks that decorate
Your unsolved bottom lip
It is winter
We are winter
Foals Far away from friendly fires
Everything is all obscured
The masquerade is blurred
We are lonely yet still pretty.
There are these figurines diminished
Far away
Distant
Rendered inhuman
Painted in as if we are only here
To sell a Christmas card.
They are just rumours now.
And you just keep on walking
Falling
Deeper
In these endless roads of white.
You are just a head now on legs.
Probably porcelain.
But you make such pretty footsteps
And they seem to follow you forever
Walking so quietly back home

Wakefield Corporation Waterworks started work in the River Ryburn valley in the 1930’s. Ryburn Reservoir was completed in 1933 and is down off to the right. Construction on Baitings took place 20 years later, it was completed in 1956.
It takes the name from the hamlet of Baitings which was flooded, whose name derives from the Old Norse of Beit meaning pasture, and Eng, meaning meadow. It sits on an old road linking Yorkshire and Lancashire.
During spells of very hot weather and low water an old packhorse bridge is revealed.
The dam head is a curved structure that is 1540 feet in length and just over 160 feet in height. The reservoir covers 59 acres and has a catchment of 1830 acres. When it is full, which it is now, it holds over 113,000,000 cubic feet of water. Strangely enough this curve cannot be seen from the other end.
The dam took eight years to complete and cost of £1.4 million, it is 840 feet above sea level. Manshead Tunnel connects reservoirs in valleys to the north with Baitings to allow for the transfer of water. The tunnel is 8000 feet long and was opened in 1962.
In 1989 during a period of very dry weather, when the water was 40 feet lower than usual, the body of a man called Laurence Winstanley, a car mechanic from over the border in Greater Manchester was found at the bottom of the reservoir. He had been murdered and his body was weighed down with a pick axe. The crime was featured on the BBC Crimewatch programme but remains unsolved.

The Danube is Austria's principal river and the longest in Europe after the Volga. Although barely more than 300km/185mi of the river's total course of some 2,900km/1,800miles - from its source in South Germany to its outflow into the Black Sea in Romania - lie within Austria, the names of Austria and the Danube are so closely linked that it is difficult to think of the one without the other. As the only major European waterway flowing from west to east, the Danube has for thousands of years played an important part in the history of the many peoples through whose territory it flowed. It marked out the route of the great military highway which ran from the Rhine to the Black Sea; the Romans built a series of fortified camps such as Vindobona and Carnuntum along the valley; the legendary Nibelungs came this way; and here, too, passed the Celts, Charlemagne's Franks, Frederick Barbarossa's Crusaders and finally Napoleon. In the opposite direction, going upstream, Attila led his Huns towards France and the Avars and Hungarians pressed into western Europe. Great battles which decided the fate of Europe have been fought on the banks of the Danube: twice the West withstood Turkish assaults at Vienna, and at Aspern (now within the city limits of Vienna) Napoleon suffered his first defeat in 1809. The Danube and the regions along its banks have become threatened by attack from chemical waste and by the power stations which affect the water-balance. As a result, in recent years the idea of making the area below Vienna a protected national park has attracted considerable support; however, the problem of finance is as yet unsolved. Between the German frontier at Passau and the Upper Austrian town of Linz the Danube describes a series of great loops in the forest-fringed valley between the Mühlviertel to the north and the Innviertel to the south. Below Linz lies the Strudengau, a wooded defile between Ardagger and Ybbs, and beyond this, extending to Melk, stretches the Nibelungengau, with the conspicuous pilgrimage church of Maria Taferl. The best-known stretch is perhaps the Wachau, with a series of ancient little towns between Melk and Krems. Just beyond this, through the Tullner Basin, lies Vienna, and the low-lying area which extends eastward to Hainburg and Bratislava (the Czech Republic) begins to take on the aspect of the Hungarian puszta.

I visit Stagno's now and then, to see if it is still there. It has been closed for many years. In 2007, an employee was murdered here in broad daylight and the crime remains unsolved, I think. I love the various weathered and dented blues of the facade and the earlier sign partly revealed by a missing panel.

Jungfrau Park is an amusement park located near Interlaken, Switzerland. It opened as the Mystery Park in 2003, and closed in November 2006 due to financial difficulties and low turnout. The park was designed by Erich von Däniken, and consisted of seven pavilions, each of which explored one of several great "mysteries" of the world. Von Däniken opened the theme park to present his interpretations of unsolved mysteries involving extraterrestrial life that he believes took place around the world.

I have some obsessions
The question is of course are obsessions for the better good for some reason
Aiko is of course a balanced obsession, how could he not be
My adorable companion
But there are other obsessions
The ones you feel are imbalanced obsessions, addictions
And for some reason you think being in this state is Ok
That is your ego talking, you know
If you have heard the silent whispers "This is an obsession" - and it's not even asking, it's telling you
Well then you should stop and listen
And think
Because it's your intuition talking to you, and deep down you do agree
Every imbalanced state is as simple as it is; not in balance
We need to be balanced to take the right decisions
What obsessions can we talk about
Can it be overdrinking - can we question why we do that, are we trying to hide unsolved matters, convince ourselves that we are the tough ones, but we are maybe the most soft of them all, hiding for the world who we really are because you might not even like it yourself, who you have become
Can it be overeating - can we quesion why we do that, are we being comforted by the food, are we hiding from something.
And answering "I think it is good", is definitely not an answer if you are actually overeating.
Can it be special thoughts - are the same thoughts swirling around in your head all day - can we question why we do that, can we try to find the core, is it worry, is it anxiety, is it your responsibility.
Can it be certain people, can we question why some people get so close to you that you can't think clearly, are they for the good for you or are they for the bad for you.
If you feel you are losing yourself you must stop, take ten steps back and think.
Are you in love, yes it can be most likely that, enjoy, but find the balance even though. 24/7 is not an option if you will survive and move on to the next step.
Can it be certain tasks, can we question why some tasks get so deep into you that this is the only thing you are thinking of day and night, are we escaping from real life by deep diving into other tasks than life, are there actually tasks we should deal with in our real life.
So this was a little SundaySpeech for you, the ones of you that made it to the bottom.
Lol, well there are some that only read the bottom, I know.
I think nevertheless, that the ones of you that need to read it for some reason will read it.
So be it.
Have a nice Sunday
Love you, always

The murder of 17-year-old Brenda Evans, found dead in a remote rural location south of Chester, was never solved. She was murdered on October 7, 1977, while on her lunch-break from the local post office and general stores where she worked. As part of her usual daily routine she had walked half a mile to her uncle and aunt’s house for something to eat and then bid them goodbye before setting off back to work. But postmaster Samuel Roberts was surprised she did not return at the usual time and when Brenda’s mum called in at the shop that afternoon she became concerned. Friends and neighbours began to search along the route she would normally have taken. It was her fiancé’s mother Edith Pritchard who made the grim discovery in the woods. Brenda had been strangled with her own tights and dumped down a 12ft manhole - just 500 yards from a field where her fiancé, 20-year-old farm worker John Pritchard, had been cutting hedges that afternoon. Mr Pritchard was questioned for 27 hours and was not released from police bail for four weeks but was never charged. This is Brenda’s aunt’s house.

In shadows deep, where whispers wend,
There lies a figure, her presence penned.
Madame Noir, with eyes so dark,
Her essence veiled, a mysterious spark.
In the dance of night, she takes her flight,
A silhouette against the fading light.
With grace she moves, in silence adorned,
A mistress of secrets, her mysteries adorned.
Her lips, a crimson hue of night's embrace,
Her laughter echoes in the quiet space.
In veils of mystery, she finds her delight,
A riddle unsolved, in the depths of night.
Madame Noir, a phantom in the gloom,
A haunting melody, a whispered tune.
In the realm of shadows, she reigns supreme,
A enigmatic enigma, in the moon's soft gleam.

Night shot of Pinchin Street taken in 2018. On the 10th of September 1889 a dismembered torso was found in one of the arches on this street by PC William Pennett. The arch in question is the one with the graffiti on it that says CCT Is Useless. Can't tell you when they were sealed up. This unidentified woman was one of the set of unsolved murders in the East End of London collectively referred to as The Whitechapel Murders, but was not considered a victim of Jack the Ripper.
Before I took this shot, I was further down the street wanting to get a shot looking in the direction I am standing, but a couple of seedy people told me to get the fuck away. I knew better than to start an argument with some dangerous thugs, so I walked away.
There is still an unsettling atmosphere about streets like this, especially at night & when it is quiet.
