At the open-air museum of Groß Raden. This is the site for a Slavic settlement from the 9th and 10th centuries AD - and show two distinct building phases. The first settlement dates to the middle of the 9th century, but after just a few decades it was totally destroyed through fire. But the settlement was rebuilt again around 900.
The building to the left, with wattle and daub walls, is how the houses in the first phase looked. When the settlement was repopulated they built the kind of much sturdier blockhouses you can see to the right.
The place is thought to have been a gathering place, both for religious things and the exchange of goods, for the West Slavic tribe the Warnower (or Warnabi, Wrani et c. - the name comes in many forms).
The settlement (the name lost to us) was destroyed again around the year 1000 - but how is still a bit of a mystery. It has been speculated, though not proven, that this had something to do with the campaign by German king Otto III against Slavic tribes he made in 995.
After the abandonment this spot was left alone, not used to much more than animal grazing, until the archaeologists started to dig there in the 1973. The museum was opened in 1987. The main archaeologist behind this excavation, Ewald Schuldt, lived to see this, but died just a couple of weeks later.

Jaçanas use their long toes to spread their weight and prevent them from sinking as they walk across the lily pads. The word jaçana is a bird name the Portuguese acquired from the Amazonian Tupi Indians. The alternative name is lily-trotter. Jaçanas are rare among bird species in that it is the male which incubates the eggs and cares for the young. Breeds in wetlands from India to Taiwan.

For someone, orange groves - a common occurrence.
But for me it is something special.
In my country, oranges are not grow, and these trees are just amazing for me

The Maudaiae type of Paphhiopedilum, single flowered hybrid called after one of the first, and most delightful, hybrids made within this group. Their oval leaves are attractively mottled in green and gray-green, sometimes darkly peppered on the undersides, and their elegant flowers, carried proudly on tall, slender stems.

Tu color es el color del agua,
oh cuerpo del lenguaje
allí donde el agua es
levadura, rayo o fuego.
El agua se enciende y se convierte en rayo, se convierte
en levadura y en fuego,
en nenúfar
que pide mi almohada
para dormir...
Oh río del lenguaje,
viaja conmigo dos días, dos semanas por la levadura de los secretos,
recogeremos mares, descubriremos madreperlas,
lloveremos rubíes y ébano,
aprenderemos que la magia
es un hada negra
que no se enamora más que de el mar.
Viaja conmigo, aparece aquí... desaparece allí...
y pregunta conmigo, oh río del lenguaje,
por la concha que muere para convertirse
en nube roja
de lluvia,
en isla
que camina o vuela,
pregunta conmigo, oh río del lenguaje,
por una estrella cautiva
en las redes del agua
que lleva entre sus pechos
mis últimos días.
Pregunta conmigo, oh río del lenguaje,
por una piedra de la que brota el agua,
por una ola de la que nace la roca,
por el animal del almizcle, por una paloma de luz.
Desciende conmigo por el tragaluz de las tinieblas
al lugar
donde habita el tiempo roto
para que el lenguaje sea
un poema que se viste con el rostro del mar.

La Areca - Chrysalidocarpus lutescens (Areca lutescens)
Al género Chrysalido-carpus pertenecen unas veinte especies originarias de Madagascar, de las islas Comores y de otras islas de Tanzania. Los tallos son erguidos y solitarios, lisos o estriados. Las hojas forman un penacho apical y están insertas en la parte superior del tallo, mediante finísimos pecíolos.
La especie Chrysalidocarpus lutescens (Areca lutescens) que se utiliza también como planta de interior, es originaria de Madagascar, donde los indígenas la denominan "palmera mariposa". Las hojas arqueadas de color verde brillante con un eje central y nervios amarillos, tienen una consistencia de papel (ligera como un mariposa).

Admittedly, it was a big crop, but it was really nice to see the adult and the young eaglet be in the same space. I wonder what the adult might have been communicating to its offspring?

Have a wonderful new week!
Here is a photo of what use to be a Sears store, at the corner of Crosstimbers and N. Shepherd Drive, on the north side of Houston Texas, USA. My family shopped here a lot when I was a kid. The toy department was up stairs and at one time there was a cafe in the corner that the camera is pointed at. The photo was taken back in August 2022, with a Canon 80D with a EF-S 18-135mm lens with adjustments made in post-processing. Enjoy!
Experiments in infra red in the back garden. Despite the April frosts my Magnolia is doing well. I was out early on to get a shot using the Z6 without any infra red conversion just with a with an Urth I-Red 72 filter and this set up seems to to do a decent IR shot. Had the camera on a tripod with the 2nd timer on it & I'm relatively pleased with the results. It probably looks more like a black and white than an ir shot. But I think when we have more leaves and blossom etc. It will work fine. I've tried IR filters on other lenses and cameras and I end up with hot spots so this seems a good combo. Hope you enjoy.
I guess these tiny post-it skyscrapers are the only affordable housing left… but at least they‘re colorful! 😅
