The Menkemaborg is a "borg" (castle, mansion, country house) in the village of Uithuizen in the northern province of Groningen in the Netherlands. Menkemaborg is an originally 14th-century, brick-built country house, which was dramatically altered around 1700, but has since been barely changed.
The complex of the country house and gardens, surrounded by their tree-shaded moat, offers a vivid impression of how the Groningen aristocracy lived in the 17th and 18th centuries.
De Menkemaborg in Uithuizen is een van de weinige overgebleven Groninger borgen.
Een borg (ook: börg) is de Groningse variant van een oorspronkelijk middeleeuws ( 13e à 15e eeuw) versterkt landhuis of burcht. In de 17e of 18e eeuw zijn de meeste borgen afgebroken en een beperkt aantal verbouwd tot luxueus ingerichte buitenverblijven, zoals de Menkemaborg.
Oorspronkelijk waren er meer dan 200 borgen, nu nog maar 16.
De oorsprong van de huidige Menkemaborg ligt eind veertiende, begin vijftiende eeuw.
Rond 1700 is de aanvankelijk versterkte burcht ingrijpend verbouwd tot het huidige landhuis. Tegenwoordig is de Menkemaborg een museum en geeft het een beeld van het leven van de Groninger jonkers in de zeventiende en achttiende eeuw. De bijbehorende tuin is ingericht als een 18e eeuwse Hollandse tuin. In de tuin bevindt zich een van de weinige originele doolhoven in Nederland.

I photographed this cactus while walking through a desert landscape near Tucson, Arizona. It is a Barrel Cactus. As with the Prickly Pear Cactus in the adjoining image, I consider it an example of both desert art and archtecture in nature, the latter because its design helps it survive in a hot and arid environment.
One of the most notable characteristics of Barrel Cacti is their rounded top or barrel-shaped body, which gives them their common name. There are many varieties of Barrel Cacti. The Fishhook Barrel Cactus doesn't get much bigger than a baseball, while the Golden Barrel Cactus can be three feet in diameter and weigh well over 100 lbs.
A prominent feature of all Barrel Cacti is ribs that run vertically along their body, giving them a ribbed appearance. These ribs allow the cactus to expand and store water during periods of rainfall, enabling them to survive in dry and arid conditions.
Another striking feature of barrel cacti is their spines. These cacti are covered in a dense array of sharp spines that serve multiple purposes. The spines help protect the cactus from animals, provide shade to the cactus's body, and reduce water loss by creating a barrier against excessive evaporation.
When the spring and summer seasons roll around, Barrel Cacti put on a magnificent show with their vibrant and eye-catching flowers. These flowering cactus plants come in a range of stunning colors, such as yellow, orange, red, and pink. The barrel cactus can live to be over 100 years old. Barrel cactus buds typically start to bloom in April with a bright yellow or orange flower.
