Ancient Greek plate with a painted boar - isn't he just wonderful? (he is probably not meant to be the domesticated kind, but a wild boar, which were popular to hunt)
Pottery dating to the first quarter of the 6th century B.C., from the Doric region of Greece, probably Rhodes (where it was found).
Bonne journée.

Zum Abschluss machte ich noch eine Postkarte über die Burg !!
Die Burg Grimmenstein über dem Pittental am Kulmriegel in Niederösterreich ist eine Hangburg. Sie wurde zwischendurch dem Verfall preisgegeben und erst seit den 1960er Jahren wieder renoviert. Seit dem letzten Jahrzehnt wird sie durch den neuen Eigentümer auch wieder bewohnt und kann besichtigt werden.
Finally, I made a postcard about the castle !!
Grimmenstein Castle above the Pitten valley on the Kulmriegel in Lower Austria is a hillside castle. It was left to fall into disrepair and has only been renovated since the 1960s. Since the last decade, it has been inhabited again by the new owner and can be visited.

Cofrentes is a village 104 km from Valencia. The town is located at the confluence of the rivers Júcar and Cabriel. The economy is based on agriculture and livestock. Crops are cereals wheat, barley and maize, wine and olive trees. The economic activity of this town also revolves around its nuclear power plant. The Cofrentes nuclear power station covers practically the entire domestic consumption of the Valencian Community. There are many water sources in the area. The most important is the Los Hervideros well. Cofrentes has the only river route in the Valencian Province with a journey of 14 km one way and the same amount back, through the Canyons of Júcar in a modern boat of the same name. This boat is accessible all year round. Today, thousands of visitors enjoy the native flora and fauna, who can observe mountain goats, mouflons, wild boars or ospreys in the spectacularly beautiful cliffs that can be seen from the boat. Castillo de Cofrentes sits high above the river on a volcanic rock with a volcano on the other side of the river. Its origin is Islamic, at the time it served as a castle-fortress, so inaccessible height of 95 meters on which it stands, and palace-residence between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
The castle of Cofrentes is a fortress built at 394 meters above sea level, the highest part of the capital of the municipality of the same name. It is built in basalt rock of volcanic origin, on one of the chimneys of the volcano Cerro de Agrás. Ceramic remains from the Roman, Iberian and Bronze Ages have been discovered on the site of the castle. the castle was declared a property of cultural interest. Photo taken at Puente de Hierro de Cofrentes, a bridge over the Cabriel river with a sublime style, overlooking Castillo de Cofrentes.
Cofrentes is een dorpje op 104 km van Valencia. Het stadje ligt aan de samenvloeiing van de rivieren Júcar en Cabriel. De economie is gebaseerd op landbouw en veeteelt. Gewassen zijn granen tarwe, gerst en maïs, wijn en olijfbomen. Ook draait de economische activiteit van dit stadje om haar kerncentrale. Door de kerncentrale van Cofrentes wordt praktisch het hele binnenlandse verbruik van de Valenciaanse Gemeenschap gedekt. Er zijn veel waterbronnen in de omgeving. De belangrijkste is de Los Hervideros-bron. Cofrentes heeft de enige rivierroute in de Valenciaanse provincie met een reis van 14 km enkele reis en evenveel terug, door de Canyons van Júcar in een moderne boot met dezelfde naam. Deze boot is het hele jaar toegankelijk. Tegenwoordig zijn er duizenden bezoekers die genieten van de inheemse flora en fauna, die berggeiten, moeflons, wilde zwijnen of visarenden kunnen observeren in de spectaculair mooie kliffen die vanaf de boot te zien zijn. Castillo de Cofrentes zit hoog boven de rivier op een vulkanisch gesteente met aan de andere kant van de rivier een vulkaan. De oorsprong is islamitisch, destijds gediend als kasteel-fort, dus ontoegankelijke hoogte van 95 meter waarop het staat, en paleis-residentie tussen de zestiende en zeventiende eeuw. Het kasteel van Cofrentes is een fort gebouwd op 394 meter boven de zeespiegel, het hoogste deel het stadje. Het is gebouwd in basaltgesteente van vulkanische oorsprong, op één van de schoorstenen van de vulkaan Cerro de Agrás. Op de plaats van het kasteel zijn keramische overblijfselen uit de Romeinse, Iberische en Bronstijd ontdekt. het kasteel werd uitgeroepen tot een bezit van cultureel belang. Foto gemaakt bij Puente de Hierro de Cofrentes, een brug over de Cabriel rivier met een sublieme stijl, met uitzicht op Castillo de Cofrentes.
Dieser Keiler begegnete mir im Bayerischen Wald in einem riesigen Freigelände. Die Rotte hat sich an die Menschen gewöhnt, können aber doch aggressiv werden, wenn sie sich, bzw ihre Frischlinge bedroht fühlen.

Das wilde Schwein Richard kam vor vielen, vielen Jahren in den Haushalt und die Familie des Sekretärs. Schon vor längerer Zeit wurde aus dem einfachen "Richard" der frühen Jahre ein gediegenes "Sir Richard". Er trägt die Bürde aber auch die Privilegien des Alters mit Würde und weiss, sich mit seinen Liebliengsspeisen verwöhnen zu lassen.

The wild boar Richard came into the secretary's household and family many, many years ago. Already some time ago the simple "Richard" of the early years became a respectable "Sir Richard". He carries the burden but also the privileges of old age with dignity and knows how to be regaled with his favourite dishes.
... for a HMBT!

Bois du Breuil (Forest of Breuil) near Honfleur, Calvados, Normandie (Normandy), France. A rich forest, part of the commune of Équemauville and overlooking the communes (towns/villages) of Honfleur, Vasouy and Pennedepie as well as the River Seine.

Here is another one of the wild boars I met earlier in January, an adult female. I took quite a lot of photos of them and may post some more occasionally. They look so cute and nice and it's hard to imagine how nasty and even outright dangerous they can be.
Here is another one of the wild boars I met in January. This is obviously a young one. They were not really tiny anymore but still considerably smaller than the adults and of a lighter colour.
I hasten to add that she was on the other side of a fence, like the rest of the wild boar gang. Without the fence I would probably have stayed as far away from them as possible as they are not as nice as they look.
... for the weekend -TGIF!

Bolton Castle, nestled in the stunning Wensleydale region of North Yorkshire, is one of England’s best-preserved medieval castles. Built in the late 14th century by Sir Richard le Scrope, it has a rich history, including serving as a prison for Mary Queen of Scots in 1568. The castle offers a fascinating glimpse into medieval life, with intact rooms such as the Old Kitchens, Dungeon, Solar, Nursery, Armory, and Great Chamber. Visitors can explore its atmospheric halls, enjoy falconry displays, and even try their hand at archery.
One of the more unique attractions at Bolton Castle is its wild boar enclosure. Wild boars were once native to Britain but became extinct in the wild centuries ago. However, Bolton Castle has reintroduced them, and visitors can see these fascinating animals up close. The castle recently welcomed a new litter of wild boar piglets, adding to the charm of the experience. There’s even a scheduled wild boar feeding time at 16:00, where guests can observe them in action.
If you visit, be sure to check out the castle gardens, which have been restored along medieval lines, featuring a herb garden, rose garden, walled vineyard, and maze. The tea room, located in the atmospheric Guest Hall, serves homemade meals, including boar pie, which is a nod to the castle’s historical connection with these animals.
