The Alter Real is a strain of the Lusitano which is bred only at the Alter Real State Stud in Portugal. The stud was founded in 1748 by the Portuguese royal family to provide horses for the national riding academy and royal use. The Portuguese School of Equestrian Art (Escola Portuguesa de Arte Equestre) uses these horses exclusively in their performances. The strain was developed from 300 Iberian mares imported from Spain in 1747. When Napoleon invaded Spain in the early 19th century, the Alter Real strain deteriorated due to the introduction of Arabian, Thoroughbred, Spanish-Norman and Hanoverian blood. However, in the 19th and 20th centuries the strain was re-established with the further introduction of Spanish blood.
In the early 20th century, with the 1910 revolution that ended the monarchy, the Alter Real strain faced extinction, as records were burned, stallions were gelded and the stud discontinued. Ruy d'Andrade, a specialist in Iberian horse breeds, saved two stallions and several mares, and was able to re-establish the strain, turning his herd over to the Portuguese Ministry of Agriculture in 1942, when the stud was reopened.The Portuguese state has maintained ownership of the stud, and continues to produce horses for use in high school dressage.

Segnali di Primavera a Coderno
Il cambiamento climatico sta alterando profondamente il ciclo vitale dei fiori, causando fioriture anticipate, modifiche nei colori per proteggersi dai raggi UV e profumi ridotti a causa dell'inquinamento. Questo fenomeno crea un pericoloso "mis-match" (disallineamento) temporale con gli insetti impollinatori, minacciando la biodiversità e la riproduzione delle piante.

I'm not a religious man but after the weekend I'm now going to worship the star sign Aries after we named this location on the weekend.
This was taken a little later when it got completely dark and the three quarter moon illuminated the landscape.

I've been in and out of SL a bunch lately, it's true, but I've also been having a great deal of fun working up pictures of my fighter alt in Photoshop.
This one, taken on an in-the-works RP sim called Mhridrun, I had to share.

The light streaming throught the white and yellow stained glass acted as a "spotlight" to hightlight the Monastery's Alter. This is a combination of two photos. One for the Stained Glass and the other for the rest of the Alter area. I hand blended these two photos together using Photoshop.
It was a sunset that my wife and I went for a walk on the shore of the Drzewiczka River. We have maybe 400 m to the lagoon from the house. Walking slowly on the shore, literally in 15 - 20 minutes I took several dozen photos, from which I will be selecting photos to be displayed on Flickr for a long time. Every few dozen meters the light changed in a magical and unique way, creating unique images.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The street of El Arenal is a popular historical route of Madrid , linking the Puerta de Sol and the Plaza de Isabel II (Opera). Its name comes from the primitive stream that ran along its layout before the area was developed, with which it appears already labeled on the Teixeira plan of 1656, as well as in the successive cartographies of the Villa of Madrid.
Excerpt from Wikimedia:
Former Hotel Internacional, at 19 Calle del Arenal (street) in Madrid (Spain). It was projected in 1862 as a housing building by José María Mellado and Máximo de Robles. From 1907 to 1908 it was altered (including façade) by architect Mariano Belmás Estrada to become a hotel.

La fontaine de l'Alter Markt de Cologne (Köln), Land de Rhénanie-du-Nord-Westphalie, Allemagne.
Au centre de la place, se dresse cette fontaine construite en 1884 à la mémoire de Jean de Werth, un général ayant combattu durant la guerre de Trente Ans et connu de nombreux succès militaires. Les bas-reliefs illustrent la vie de Jean de Werth.
L'Alter Markt ou place du vieux marché est aujourd'hui un lieu animé, connu pour attirer les amateurs des cafés et du carnaval de Cologne. Elle est dominée à l'ouest par l'hôtel de ville. Cet endroit fut autrefois un important marché médiéval et accueillit même des joutes. Les visiteurs peuvent désormais y admirer une architecture allemande traditionnelle et d'anciens monuments consacrés aux fondateurs de la ville.
Cologne (Köln) est la métropole rhénane et l'une des plus grandes villes d'Allemagne. Ville commerciale de premier plan, elle est aussi la capitale allemande de la télévision. Outre sa célèbre eau connue dès le 16e siècle, la cité est réputée pour son carnaval (5 jours précédant le mercredi des Cendres) pendant lequel touristes et Colonais se déchaînent et font la fête sans discontinuer. Devenu du temps de Charlemagne, un archevêché, douze églises romanes et sa célèbre cathédrale gothique, dont les deux flèches noires sont devenues le symbole de la ville, témoignent de son importance en tant que centre religieux pendant le Moyen Âge.
Les 12 églises romanes, élevées sur des lieux de sépultures de saints et d'évêques, ont influencé par leurs formes, l'évolution de l'architecture romane bien au-delà de la Rhénanie.

It is a hot spring located in the Upper Geyser Basin. Its average temperature is around 69.8 °C (157.6 °F) and is 23 feet (7 m) deep. The pool was named by Mrs E. N. McGowan, wife of Assistant Park Superintendent, Charles McGowan in 1883. She called it "Convolutus", the Latin name for the morning glory flower, which the spring resembles.
The distinct colour of the pool is due to bacteria which inhabit the water. On a few rare occasions the Morning Glory Pool has erupted as a geyser, usually following an earthquake or other nearby seismic activity. Several entryways have been clogged due to objects being thrown in by tourists, reducing the hot water supply, and in turn altering the overall appearance of the pool.
