Ezekiel 35:8-9 “And I will fill his mountains with his slain. In thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy water-courses shall they fall that are slain with the sword. I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not be inhabited: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.”
If you're looking for a peaceful and picturesque setting, you can't beat a golf course. The actual game of golf, maybe not so soothing.....

More often than not, it is a juvenile bird that flies headlong in my direction. I'm not sure if they are naive and trusting or just young and foolish. Tricolored Heron on Horsepen Bayou.

The thing about hiking the river trails at Mathiessen State Park is there is a lot of stairs and of course,stairsteps.Down 30 then back up 30.Just down to the trail from the parking lot is probably close to 100.It's all worth because of the beauty down there,so no complaints.I took this pic at the end of our journey and that bridge seemed SO far away....
Matthiessen State Park was named for Frederick William Matthiessen, a prominent industrialist and philanthropist from LaSalle. He originally purchased the land near the end of the 19th century and operated it as a privately owned park for many years. Mr. Matthiessen employed about 50 people to construct trails, bridges, stairways and check dams. The area was originally referred to as “Deer Park,” in reference to the large deer population. The original 176-acre park consisted primarily of a long, narrow canyon with a small stream flowing through it. At that time these formations were called “dells,” a name that has stayed with the park. After Matthiessen’s death, the park was donated to the state of Illinois, which opened it as a public park. In 1943, the state renamed the park in honor of Matthiessen. Since then, the park has grown to 1,938 acres and includes much of the significant natural areas along the main dell, some former prairie land, and some forest land south of the original park.

L'été est une période très prisées pour les courses hippiques à Chantilly.
Summer is a very popular time for horse racing in Chantilly.
Of course, this rock formation that my path took me past, in the middle of the forest near Děčín in Bohemian Switzerland, is not "the" altar of nature, but just one of many.
When I wander through the forests or mountains, I always come across places that have a special, almost magical effect.
Sometimes they are such impressive formations. But sometimes it's just a small hill or a tree stump covered in moss.
In such places it is always easy for me to transport myself back to the time when the forests still covered half of Europe and were the home of my ancestors.
I can imagine that on special days or on certain occasions they gathered in places like these to perform religious rituals or just to sit here and seek contact with their ancestors in the light of a small campfire to ask for advice or guidance.
In places like these I regularly spend more time than I need to take a photo and like to use it for a coffee break. And while I'm sitting there, texts like this come to mind.
However, I have never had direct contact with anyone from my ancestry. This may be because my ancestors lived more than 100 km away from here and the local ancestors learned from their parents not to talk to strangers.
Natürlich ist diese Felsformation, an der mich mein Weg, mitten im Wald in der Nähe von Děčín in der Böhmischen Schweiz, vorbeigefürt hat nicht "Der" Altar der Natur, sondern nur einer von vielen.
Wenn ich durch die Wälder oder Berge streife, komme ich immer wieder an Orten vorbei, von denen eine besondere, ja fast magische Wirkung ausgeht.
Manchmal sind es solche, durchaus beeindruckenden Formationen. Doch machmal ist es auch nur ein kleiner Hügel oder ein mit Moos bedecker Baumstumpf.
An solchen Orten fällt es mir immer leicht, mich in die Zeit zurück zu versetzen, als die Wälder noch halb Europe bedeckten und die Heimat meiner Vorfahren waren.
Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass sie sich an besonderen Tagen oder zu bestimmten Anlässen an Orten wie diesem versammelt haben um religiöse Rituale zu veranstalten oder auch nur um hier zu sitzen und im Schein eines kleinen Lagerfeuers wiederum den Kontakt zu ihren Vorfahren zu suchen, um sie um Rat oder Anleitung zu befragen.
An Orten wie diesen verbringe ich dann regelmäßig mehr Zeit als ich bräuchte um ein Foto zu machen und nutze sie gern für eine Kaffeepause. Und während ich da so sitze fallen mir dann Texte wie dieser hier ein.
Direkten Kontakt zu irgend jemanden aus meiner Ahnenreihe hatte ich dabei allerdings noch nie. Was möglichweise daran liegt, dass meine Vorfahren mehr als 100 km von hier entfernt gelebt haben und das die Ahnen der Einheimischen von ihren Eltern gelernt haben, dass man nicht mit Fremden redet.

Purple Gallinule - this species of bird is usually found in South-eastern US, Mexico and Central and South America. On a trip back from Montreal I received news that this bird was spotted on the shores of the St. Lawrence river in Eastern Ontario. After a couple of hours of looking we almost gave up and as we were leaving the bird presented himself first by foraging in the shoreline banks, I'm not quite sure what he was after, and then in the shrubs for wild grapes. Apparently there was enough food to sustain him even in the colder climate as he was fairly active. Unfortunately it was late in the day and I only had a couple of minutes with him before he scurried back into the brush.
