Kinderdijk is a village in the Netherlands, belonging to the municipality of Molenwaard, in the province South Holland, about 15 km east of Rotterdam. Kinderdijk is situated in a polder in the Alblasserwaard. To drain the polder, a system of 19 windmills was built around 1740. This group of mills is the largest concentration of old windmills in the Netherlands. The windmills of Kinderdijk are one of the best known Dutch tourist sites. They have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.

Pühtitsa Convent (Estonian: Kuremäe Jumalaema Uinumise nunnaklooster, Russian: Пюхтицкий Успенский женский монастырь) is a Russian Orthodox convent in Eastern Estonia. The convent is located on a site known as Pühitsetud ("blessed" in Estonian) since ancient times. The present convent was founded in 1891.
Nearby is a holy spring that is known for its curative powers.
Some women told me I had to take a bath at the holy well. I said I had no towel to dry me, but they convinced me and said it was better and that you shouldn't dry with a towel.
Waaaahhh, I took a bath, but it was very cold !

Well my friends WELCOME to 2018 .A year of peace,joy and happiness.
A year made for manifestation and wishes fullfield but also for love,tolerance and kindness.
A year in which for the sake of humanity and of our own happiness we need to remember how to build bridges,unions and relationships instead of breaking them how we did last year.
A year thatt I know it can make all our dreams come true and the world a better place, if we can only stick together in a place of love and positivity and not allow personal fears,frustrations and failures to turn us one against each other.
A year in which I know we can really find the serenity to accept the things we cannot change,the courage to change what can be changed and the wisdom to know the difference if we understand the importance of it.
A year that I know it can become the best one ever no matter the cicumstances if we can only decide that it will be so and hold this decision in our hearths with love and faith all through our daily ups and downs.
Happy New Year!!! my friends.
And much peace&love to
you all!

If flowers had personalities, how would you describe how they feel? For some reason this one seems kind of "accepting". Like here I am, a weed by the side of the road, but I'm happy and that's enough for me I accept my lot in life.

The great historic barrier of the Caucasus Mountains rises up across the wide isthmus separating the Black and Caspian seas in the region where Europe and Asia converge. Trending generally from northwest to southeast, the mountains consist of two ranges—the Greater Caucasus (Russian: Bolshoy Kavkaz) in the north and the Lesser Caucasus (Maly Kavkaz) in the south. Mount Elbrus in the Greater Caucasus range, at 18,510 feet (5,642 metres), is the highest peak. The watershed of the Greater Caucasus, the backbone of the system, traditionally has been part of the line dividing Europe and Asia, but Europe’s eastern boundary has been the subject of much debate. One widely accepted scheme draws the dividing line along the crest of the Greater Caucasus range, putting the portion of the region north of the line in Europe and the portion south of it in Asia. Another puts the western portion of the Caucasus region in Europe and the eastern part (the bulk of Azerbaijan and small portions of Armenia, Georgia, and Russia’s Caspian Sea coast) in Asia. Still another scheme identifies the Aras River and the Turkish border as the line of continental demarcation, thereby locating Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia in Europe.

When we first laid eyes on our puppy (a little over a year before this image of her was taken), the color told us immediately that her name must be Sedona. So, when we had a chance to take her there, of course she had to have multiple photo shoots in the region. This is one of the images from along the Oak Creek, after enduring a long 4x4 adventure that she didn't particularly enjoy, she was pleased to relax and take in the view from a stable seated position.

This species which is often referred to as "Fish Ducks" is the most widespread and abundant merganser in North America. Being one of the more social waterfowl species they do accept other species of diving ducks within their own flocks.
Their breeding territory ranges from Alaska to Newfoundland where they can be found using man-made nesting boxes or nest on the ground. A nest can be found to contain a clutch of anywhere from 6 - 17 eggs. They tend to be a quiet breed unless disturbed or during their courtship period.
This hen is getting lots of attention from 4 drakes that are certainly letting her know their intentions with their erect tails.
This longhorn made it known he was aware there was an interloper amongst the herd. Exit Keith - stage left.

Crimson Rosella
Platycercus elegans
Description: There are several colour forms of the Crimson Rosella. The form it is named for has mostly crimson (red) plumage and bright blue cheeks. The feathers of the back and wing coverts are black broadly edged with red. The flight feathers of the wings have broad blue edges and the tail is blue above and pale blue below and on the outer feathers. Birds from northern Queensland are generally smaller and darker than southern birds. The 'Yellow Rosella' has the crimson areas replaced with light yellow and the tail more greenish. The 'Adelaide Rosella' is intermediate in colour, ranging from yellow with a reddish wash to dark orange. Otherwise, all the forms are similar in pattern. Young Crimson Rosellas have the characteristic blue cheeks, but the remainder of the body plumage is green-olive to yellowish olive (occasionally red in some areas). The young bird gradually attains the adult plumage over a period of 15 months
Similar species: The adult Crimson Rosella is similar to male Australian King-Parrots, but differs by having blue cheeks, shoulders, and tail, a whitish, rather than red, bill and a dark eye. Immature Crimson Rosellas also differ from female and immature King-Parrots by having blue cheeks, a whitish bill and a more yellow-green rather than dark green colouring.
Distribution: There are several populations of the Crimson Rosella. Red (crimson) birds occur in northern Queensland, in southern Queensland to south-eastern South Australia and on Kangaroo Island. Orange birds are restricted to the Flinders Ranges region of South Australia, while yellow ones are found along the Murray, Murrumbidgee and neighbouring rivers (where yellow birds meet red birds they hybridise, producing orange offspring). Red birds have been introduced to Norfolk Island and New Zealand.
Habitat: Throughout its range, the Crimson Rosella is commonly associated with tall eucalypt and wetter forests.
Feeding: Crimson Rosellas are normally encountered in small flocks and are easily attracted to garden seed trays. Once familiar with humans, they will accept hand held food. Natural foods include seeds of eucalypts, grasses and shrubs, as well as insects and some tree blossoms.
Breeding: The Crimson Rosella's nest is a tree hollow, located high in a tree, and lined with wood shavings and dust. The female alone incubates the white eggs, but both sexes care for the young. The chicks remain dependent on their parents for a further 35 days after leaving the nest.
Calls: The Crimson Rosella has a range of calls, the commonest being a two-syllabled "cussik-cussik". It also has a range of harsh screeches and metallic whistles.
Minimum Size: 32cm
Maximum Size: 36cm
Average size: 34cm
Average weight: 129g
Breeding season: September to January
Clutch Size: 4 to 8 (usually 5)
Incubation: 20 days
Nestling Period: 35 days

Archaeological excavations of the Polyconchal Basilica at Plaoshnik and Church of St. Clement and St. Panteleimon, Ohrid, Macedonia.
The church was built by St. Clement in 893 on the foundations of an early Christian basilica, and it was dedicated to St. Panteleimon. This was the place of the Ohrid Literary School, a center of Slavonic literary and cultural activity. St. Clement was buried in this monastery, in the tomb that he built himself.
It is the oldest Slav monastery. That is one of the reasons that Ohrid was inscribed in 1979 on the Unesco word heritage list.

Today's forms of money have developed from primitive money, e.g. B. mussels or rice, which were accepted as a means of exchange in business life. Money initially belonged to the cultic and legal sphere and referred to "that with which one can repay or pay penance and sacrifices". Only after the 14th century did it assume its current meaning as a "coined currency". From the middle of the 19th century, the gold standard existed in many countries, promising the exchange of legal tender (coins, banknotes) for a fixed amount of gold. By the 1930s almost all major states had abandoned the gold standard. Instead of such a standard, monetary policy measures were taken by the central banks to ensure price stability.

Kies (jiddisch kis, „Geldbeutel“)
Mäuse (jiddisch meus, „Geld“)
Moneten (lateinisch moneta, „Münze“; vgl. engl. money)

Entwickelt haben sich die heutigen Geldformen aus Primitivgeld, z. B. Muscheln oder Reis, die im Geschäftsleben als Tauschmittel akzeptiert wurden. Geld gehörte anfangs zur kultischen und rechtlichen Sphäre und bezeichnete „das, womit man Buße und Opfer erstatten bzw. entrichten kann“. Erst nach dem 14. Jahrhundert nahm es seine aktuelle Bedeutung als „geprägtes Zahlungsmittel“ an. Ab Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts existierte in vielen Ländern der Goldstandard, bei dem der Umtausch von gesetzlichen Zahlungsmitteln (Münzen, Banknoten) in eine feststehende Menge Gold versprochen wurde. Um 1930 haben fast alle größeren Staaten den Goldstandard aufgegeben. An die Stelle eines solchen Standards traten geldpolitische Maßnahmen der Notenbanken, die eine Preisniveaustabilität sicherstellen sollten.

Die schwere Güterzug-Lokomotive 043-903-4 wurde 1943 im besetzten Frankreich gebaut. Hersteller war die Compagnie Genérale de Construction de Locomotives Batignolles-Chatillon in Nantes-St. Joseph. Im Oktober 1943 wurde sie von der Deutschen Reichsbahn abgenommen und in Dienst gestellt. Ihre erste Betriebsnummer war 44 903. Die Leistung dieser wuchtigen Maschine lag bei ca. 1900 PS und konnte im Jahr 1960 durch den Umbau von Kohle- auf Ölfeuerung auf 2100 PS gesteigert werden. In ihren letzten Betriebsjahren, in denen sie als 043 903-4 bezeichnet war, beförderte sie regelmäßig den legendären "Langen Heinrich", einen 4000 Tonnen schweren Erzzug. Er war der schwerste Zug der Deutschen Bundesbahn und verkehrte zwischen dem Emdener Erzhafen und dem Ruhrgebiet. Bis Rheine waren ihm jeweils zwei Loks der Baureihe 043 vorgespannt. Die weitere Beförderung übernahmen dann zwei Elektro-Lokomotiven. Die Emdener Denkmal-Lokomotive ist ein besonderes Exemplar, denn sie beförderte am 26.10.1977 den letzten mit Dampf beförderten Planzug der Deutschen Bundesbahn.

The heavy freight locomotive 043-903-4 was built in occupied France in 1943. It was manufactured by the Compagnie Générale de Construction de Locomotives Batignolles-Chatillon in Nantes-St. Joseph. In October 1943, it was accepted by the German Reichsbahn and put into service. Its first operating number was 44 903. The power output of this massive machine was approximately 1900 hp and was increased to 2100 hp in 1960 when it was converted from coal to oil firing. In its final years of operation, when it was designated 043 903-4, it regularly hauled the legendary ‘Langer Heinrich’ (Long Henry), a 4000-tons ore train. This was the heaviest train on German Federal Railway's tracks and always double headed. It ran between the ore port of Emden and the Ruhr area. The two class 043 locomotives operated the train as far as Rheine. Two electric locomotives took over for the rest of the journey. The Emden monument locomotive is a special sample because on 26 October 1977 it hauled the last scheduled steam train of the German Federal Railways.

“Reaching Sadness” doesn’t necessarily feel sad when you look at it. Actually, it looks kind of crazed and frantic. I think many artists would have taken a brush full of paint and simplified the whole composition into something more soothing.
But soothing is not how I process sadness. Not at all. That is someone else’s painting. For me, my paintings are where everything lands. I have a brain that pings off the confines of my skull when I can’t escape something that is true. And there is nothing more true than that the beings you love will leave you.
There were moments when this piece was beautiful, organized, calm, and accepting. You can see it in the deep, dark areas. And then I ran off and got busy taking care of everything that had to be done.
Maybe someday, if this piece is still with me, I will take that brush full of paint and calm it down. But that is not now. And this piece is me on sadness.
There always seems to be a magpie accompanying a fox...The fox seems quite accepting of their presence on the whole.

Templo de Apolo - Delfos - Grecia
Las ruinas del Templo de Apolo en Delfos, que se remontan al siglo IV a. C., pertenecen a un templo dórico periptero. Fue edificado sobre los restos de un templo anterior, fechado en el siglo VI a. C., que a su vez fue erigido en el emplazamiento de otro del siglo VII a. C. Su construcción se atribuye a los arquitectos Trofonio y Agamedes.
En el siglo VI a. C. era conocido como el «Templo de los Alcmeónidas», en tributo a la familia ateniense que financió su reconstrucción después de un incendio que destruyó su estructura original. [El templo fue destruido tras la invasión persa del 487 a. C ]
El nuevo edificio fue un templo de estilo dórico hexástilo de 6 x 15 columnas. Fue destruido en el año 373 a. C. Las esculturas del frontón son atribuidas a Praxias y Andróstenes, atenienses. De una proporción similar, en el segundo templo se mantuvo el patrón 6 x 15 columnas en el estilobato.1 Dentro estaba el ádyton, el centro del oráculo de Delfos y el asiento de la Pitia. El monumento fue restaurado en parte en 1938.
Sobrevivió hasta el 390, año en el que el emperador cristiano, Teodosio I, silenció el oráculo con la destrucción del templo y la mayor.

Temple of Apollo - Delphi - Greece
The Temple of Apollo, god of music, harmony, light, healing, and oracles occupied the most important and prominent position in the Delphic Panhellenic Sanctuary. The edifice with the partially restored colonnade visible today dates to the 4th century BC; it is the third temple built at the same place. The famous oracle, the Pythia, operated inside the temple, the location chosen, according to one tradition, due to a sacred chasm beneath the site emitting vapors, which were inhaled by the Pythia. Some ancient writers state that the Pythia then entered a state of delirium and uttering inarticulate cries, which were then turned into equivocal oracles by the priests.[1] This interpretation is controversial, and has been challenged by scholars such as Joseph Fontenrose and Lisa Maurizio, who argue that the ancient sources uniformly represent the Pythia speaking intelligibly, and giving prophecies in her own voice.
The Sphinx of the Naxians (560 BCE) was located next to the Temple of Apollo.
The history of the temple was related by Pausanias in his Description of Greece of the 2nd century CE:
They say that the most ancient temple of Apollo was made of laurel, the branches of which were brought from the laurel in Temple. This temple must have had the form of a hut. The Delphians say that the second temple was made by bees from bees-wax and feathers, and that it was sent to the Hyperboreans by Apollo.
Another story is current, that the temple was set up by a Delphian, whose name was Pteras, and so the temple received its name from the builder… The story that the temple was built of the fern (pteris) that grows on the mountains, by interweaving fresh stalks of it, I do not accept at all.
It is no wonder that the third temple was made of bronze, seeing that Acrisios made a bedchamber of bronze for his daughter, the Lacedaemonians still possess a sanctuary of Athena of the Bronze House, and the Roman forum, a marvel for its size and style, possesses a roof of bronze. So it would not be unlikely that a temple of bronze was made for Apollo…
The fourth temple was made by Trophonius and Agamedes; the tradition is that it was made of stone. It was burnt down in the archonship of Erxicleides at Athens, in the first year of the fifty-eighth Olympiad (548/47), when Diognetus of Crotona was victorious. The modern temple was built for the god by the Amphictyons from the sacred treasures, and the architect was one Spintharus of Corinth.
