The castle is privatly owned and cannot be visited...
Monastery - Nilova Hermitage. Tver region. Russia.
The monastery dates back to 1528, from the moment of the arrival of the Monk Nile on the island of Stolobny, on Lake Seliger.
A few years later, after the presentation of the Monk Nil of Stolobensky, in 1594, a Blessing was given for the opening of the monastery of the Nilov Pustyn.
In the 18-19 centuries, the Nilova Pustyn Monastery was one of the largest cultural centers in Russia, with a huge library, educational institutions, with its own large production of goods and products.
It was in the Nilova desert that Leonty Magnitsky, a mathematician and teacher, studied under whom, later, the Great Lomonosov studied. Nilova Hermitage was visited by many great people, including Emperor Alexander I and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
After the blasphemous looting and partial destruction of the monastery by the Bolsheviks, the buildings were used as a colony for minors, as a prisoner of war camp, as a military hospital, as a camp site. When all the buildings of the monastery fell into disrepair and could no longer be used, without major repairs, by the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR, in 1990, the monastery complex was transferred to the Moscow Patriarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church.
2016 marks the 25th anniversary of the revival of the Nilo-Stolobensky Monastery. Ahead, there are still colossal works to restore the former splendor of the holy monastery. But already now, the Nilo-Stolobenskaya hermitage is the pearl of the Tver diocese. Even in spite of all the destruction that befell from the godless power, this monastery with all this lies before us in all its beauty and grandeur of the genius of architecture, the pious ancestors of the Russian land.
Today, the monastery, thanks to the governor Archimandrite Arkady (Gubanov), is being successfully restored by the brethren and already has its own autonomous production of products, which is in great demand among pilgrims and local residents.
This ancient celtic standing stone on Slaughter Hill, Co. Wicklow, dates back to the Bronze Age and it has stood here for thousands of years. Its wide side faces out over the Irish sea and the rising sun. It is of a type called "Schist" and the closest place to here, where this type of stone can be found is over 20 miles away near Kippure, which means it was actually physically carried to this spot.
No one knows what is its significance but it is most likely ritualistic because of its position and its relation to the sun.. All I do know is that I have visited it several times at dawn and when the first light strikes it, it certainly stirs up some strange and wonderful emotions which Im sure was the reason for it being positioned there in the first place. Magical!
Hope you like it.
Best wishes.

The 'Cow & Gate' brand of powdered baby milk dates to 1929 and this is an early example of its measuring spoons.
This one survived because it was subsequently used as a tea caddy spoon. Now a family heirloom!
Le Château Ollwiller est l’un des deux seuls châteaux en Alsace à produire du vin sous la dénomination « château ».
Il possède le « Clos de la Tourelle », une parcelle agrémentée d’une ancienne tourelle, entièrement plantée avec le cépage pinot blanc.
Le château est à l’origine du nom du Grand Cru Ollwiller.
Son vignoble compte une parcelle de riesling dans le Grand Cru Ollwiller plantée en 1925, bénéficiant de la mention "Vieilles Vigne".
La construction du premier Château Ollwiller en alsace , remonte au XIIIe siècle par les comtes de Waldner sur un fief agricole et viticole appartenant aux comtes de Ferrette et dont le souverain était l’évêque de Strasbourg puis de l’abbaye cistercienne de Lieu-Croissant (Doubs).
Au XVIIIe, le Comte Dagobert de Waldner de Freundstein, lieutenant général du roi, construisit un superbe château où séjournèrent de nombreux personnages importants de l’époque dont Louis XV.
Le château et le domaine sont acquis en 1825 par Jacques-Gabriel Gros, industriel textile, qui fît du domaine agricole une ferme modèle et un vignoble réputé.
Détruit lors de la première guerre mondiale pendant la bataille du Vieil Armand, le château fut reconstruit en 1925. Le domaine viticole et le château appartiennent toujours à la famille Gros.

Château Ollwiller is one of the only two châteaux in Alsace to produce wine under the name "château".
He owns the "Clos de la Tourelle", a plot decorated with an old turret, entirely planted with the Pinot Blanc grape.
The castle is the origin of the name of the Grand Cru Ollwiller.
Its vineyard has a plot of Riesling in the Grand Cru Ollwiller planted in 1925, with the "Vieilles Vigne" label.
The construction of the first Château Ollwiller in Alsace dates back to the 13th century by the counts of Waldner on an agricultural and wine-growing fiefdom belonging to the counts of Ferrette and whose sovereign was the bishop of Strasbourg and then of the Cistercian abbey of Lieu-Croissant ( Doubs).
In the 18th century, Count Dagobert de Waldner de Freundstein, lieutenant general of the king, built a superb castle where many important figures of the time stayed, including Louis XV.
The château and the estate were acquired in 1825 by Jacques-Gabriel Gros, a textile industrialist, who turned the agricultural estate into a model farm and a renowned vineyard.
Destroyed during the First World War during the Battle of Vieil Armand, the castle was rebuilt in 1925. The wine estate and the castle still belong to the Gros family.

The Old Market Square in Grodzisk Wielkopolski is a square in the form of a square. In the central part there is a historic town hall built in 1830. It underwent a major reconstruction in 1910, which gave it its present appearance. The building was damaged during the bombing in January 1945. In 1997–1998 the town hall was completely renovated and decorative details were restored. In the north-eastern corner of the market square, there is a historic water intake with a St. Bernard pump.
The well (pump) building was built at the end of the 19th century in the Art Nouveau style, but the well itself dates back to the Middle Ages.
The frontages of the market square are built up with numerous historic tenement houses.

RenownTravel: On Yaowarat Road in Bangkok’s Chinatown is the colorful Kuan Yim shrine of the Thian Fa Foundation. The shrines’ walls are adorned with colorful murals. Inside is a small golden image of Guanyin.
The shrine is dedicated to Guanyin, in Thailand also known as the Bodhisattva Phra Avalokitesuan. The Guanyin images dates to the 12th century. Carved from teak wood in the Tang dynasty art style, it is painted in gold color. With her right hand Guanyin makes the Varada mudra, the gesture of charity or making offerings. The image was brought over from China and enshrined in 1958.
The Thian Fa Foundation was established in 1902 by Chinese immigrants who settled in Bangkok. Its goal is to provide free medical care to those in need. Both traditional Chinese and modern treatments are performed at the foundation’s hospital next to the shrine.
The red-headed woodpecker surprised me but this rusty blackbird shocked me when I saw him here at Lake Meyer Park this morning. No blackbirds like temperatures this cold, and the air temperature was -10 F (-24 C) last night. I'm sure this eager guy is a spring migrant, but he's pushing the envelope here. Amazingly, I also saw two turkey vultures and a sandhill crane later in the day. These are all record early dates for Winneshiek County Iowa.
ENG: The Gendarmenmarkt dates back to the 17th century and is a square in the historic centre of Berlin, which is generally regarded as "Berlin's most beautiful square". In the centre is the former Royal Theatre, flanked on the south side by the German Cathedral and on the north side by the French Cathedral.
The square was built in 1688 according to plans by Johann Arnold Nering as part of the Friedrichstadt, which Elector Friedrich III, later King Friedrich I of Prussia, had built at the end of the 17th century. In this historic quarter settled a large part of the French immigrants (Huguenots), to whom the Great Elector Friedrich Wilhelm of Brandenburg with the Edict of Potsdam in 1685 had assured the protection of their religious freedom and full citizenship.
GER: Der Gendarmenmarkt stammt aus dem 17. Jahrhundert und ist ein Platz in der historischen Mitte von Berlin, dieser gilt gemeinhin als „schönster Platz Berlins“. Im Zentrum befindet sich das ehemalige Königliche Schauspielhaus, das an der Südseite vom Deutschen Dom und an der Nordseite vom Französischen Dom flankiert wird.
Der Platz entstand ab 1688 nach Plänen von Johann Arnold Nering als Teil der Friedrichstadt, die Kurfürst Friedrich III., der spätere König Friedrich I. in Preußen, Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts anlegen ließ. In diesem historischen Viertel siedelte sich ein Großteil der französischen Einwanderer (Hugenotten) an, denen der Große Kurfürst Friedrich Wilhelm von Brandenburg mit dem Edikt von Potsdam im Jahr 1685 den Schutz ihrer religiösen Freiheit und volles Bürgerrecht zugesichert hatte.

This current building dates from the 12th century and is a rare example of an abbey building that largely escaped King Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries. The original abbey was founded here as a Benedictine monastery in the 7th century. The spire and tower collapsed during a storm around 1500 destroying much of the church.
Of particular note is the fact that Athelstan, now considered the first king of all England, was buried here.
The very impressive Iron Age broch (stone tower) on the island of Mousa, Shetland. It’s the largest and best preserved in the world, pretty much. It gets mentioned several times in the Viking sagas, though it dates from much earlier.
For an account of my trip to the Shetland Islands:
The railway unions were on strike when we passed the Ribblehead Viaduct in the Yorkshire Dales, so there was little point in waiting for a train. In the background is Whernside, one of the Yorkshire Three Peaks. It is the highest at 2,415 feet above sea level, with the other two being Ingleborough and Pen-y-ghent. All three can be seen from near where this shot was taken.
The Ribblehead Viaduct in North Yorkshire is regarded as the most impressive structure on the Settle-Carlisle Railway. It is Grade II*-listed and dates from the 1870s when hundreds of railway builders ("navvies") lost their lives building the line, from a combination of accidents, fights, and smallpox outbreaks. In particular, building the Ribblehead (then called Batty Moss) viaduct, with its 24 massive stone arches 104 feet above the moor, caused such loss of life that the railway paid for an expansion of the local graveyard.
There is a fascinating and detailed historical note at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribblehead_Viaduct.
The Parish Church of St Germain
The small village of Thurlby is situated close to the River Witham approximately 9 miles south from the city of Lincoln.
The parish church is dedicated to St Germain and dates back to the 11th century, it has a 13th century west tower and a Norman south doorway.
St Giles’ Cathedral probably dates from the 12th century (Normand architecture) but it was rebuilt in a Gothic style from the 14th to the 16th century. Built as a Catholic Church, the cathedral became Presbyterian after the Scottish Reformation in 1560, with John Knox being the first Protestant minister. The stained-glass windows all date from the 19th and 20th centuries and are an outstanding feature of the cathedral.
The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland identified St Giles' as "the central focus of the Old Town". The church occupies a prominent and flat portion of the ridge that leads down from Edinburgh Castle; it sits on the south side of the High Street: the main street of the Old Town and one of the streets that make up the Royal Mile. St Giles' forms the north side of Parliament Square with the Law Courts on the south side of the Square.
La cathédrale Saint-Gilles date probablement du XIIe siècle (architecture normande), mais elle a été reconstruite dans un style gothique du XIVe au XVIe siècle. Construite en tant qu'église catholique, la cathédrale est devenue presbytérienne après la Réforme écossaise en 1560, John Knox étant le premier ministre protestant. Les vitraux datent tous des XIXe et XXe siècles et constituent un élément remarquable de la cathédrale.
La Commission royale sur les monuments anciens et historiques d'Écosse a identifié la cathédrale Saint-Gilles comme « le point central de la vieille ville ». La cathédrale occupe une partie proéminente et plate de la crête qui descend du château d'Édimbourg; elle se trouve du côté sud de la High Street : la rue principale de la vieille ville et l'une des rues qui composent le Royal Mile. Elle forme le côté nord de la place du Parlement avec le palais de justice du côté sud de la place.
Brill windmill dates to the 1680s and ground flour until 1919. It was one of several mills on the common, but the others have either been moved or demolished. Brill had several mills because the parish was quite wealthy, having made its money through potting, tiling and brick making.
Orangerie Elswout is de grootste oranjerie van Nederland en ligt in Overveen op landgoed Elswout. Vroeger was het een geliefd toevluchtsoord van Amsterdamse kooplieden.
Orangerie Elswout dateert uit 1879 en is gebouwd in neorenaissance-stijl. Het landgoed dateert al uit de 17e eeuw. Oorspronkelijk was het aangelegd in een strakke Franse stijl. Een eeuw later werd landgoed Elswout ingericht volgens de nieuwste mode: de romantische Engelse landschapsstijl.
In 1879 gaf landgoedeigenaar Willem Borski de architect Muysken opdracht voor de bouw van de Orangerie, in die tijd een plek om planten voor het landgoed te kweken en te laten overwinteren. Nadien is de Orangerie gebruikt als gymnastiek- en handenarbeidlokaal.
In 1984, heeft Staatsbosbeheer de vervallen Orangerie laten restaureren.

Orangerie Elswout is the largest orangery in the Netherlands and is located in Overveen on the Elswout estate. It used to be a popular refuge for Amsterdam merchants.
Orangerie Elswout dates from 1879 and was built in neo-Renaissance style. The estate dates back to the 17th century. It was originally laid out in a sleek French style. A century later, the Elswout estate was furnished according to the latest fashion: the romantic English landscape style.
In 1879, estate owner Willem Borski commissioned the architect Muysken to build the Orangerie, at that time a place to grow and hibernate plants for the estate. Afterwards, the Orangerie was used as a gymnastics and crafts room.
In 1984, Staatsbosbeheer had the dilapidated Orangerie restored.
Another shot taken from a train wndow on the JR Ooito Line (JR大糸線). It is laid out along the Himekawa gorge where snowfall is heavy, topography is difficult, and population is scarce and decreasing.
It is rumoured to be abolished not in the distant future.
Itoigawa produces jade. The area along the Kotakigawa, a tributary of the Himekawa as seen in the upper part of the photo with a bridge, is the site for jade mines. Use of jade in Japanese archipelago dates back to 7000 BC in the Joumon period.
Jewels of Itoigawa jade are excavated at the tombs built in 4-6 century AD in the southern Korean Peninsula. It proves there was a trade network between Itoigawa and the Korean peninsula. It is also supposed that there was a political influence of Japan on that part of the peninsula as the style of the tombs are similar to those in Japan,
The monumental building dates from 1656 and was designed by Daniël Stalpaert as a warehouse for the Admiralty of Amsterdam. The warehouse housed cannons, sails, flags and naval equipment for the war fleet. About 40,000 liters of rainwater were collected in the barrel vaults under the courtyard for the drinking water supply for the ships. The Zeemagazijn was built on 2,300 piles, but nevertheless the building subsided. Buttresses and additional risalites were to prevent further subsidence or even collapse. In 1791 the building burned down, except for the stone walls. The blackened brick facades disappeared under a layer of plaster that was supposed to represent blocks of sandstone. In 1795, Napoleon Bonaparte invaded the country and the Batavian Republic was founded. The five Admiralties were disbanded and replaced by a national navy. The Zeemagazijn became a warehouse for the navy. This remained so until the early 1970s.

The fruit is known as a date.[1] The fruit's English name, as well as the Latin species name dactylifera, both come from the Greek word for "finger," dáktulos, because of the fruit's elongated shape. Dates are oval-cylindrical, 3–7 cm long, and 2–3 cm diameter, and when unripe, range from bright red to bright yellow in colour, depending on variety. Dates contain a single seed about 2–2.5 cm long and 6–8 mm thick. Three main cultivar groups of date exist: soft (e.g. 'Barhee', 'Halawy', 'Khadrawy', 'Medjool'), semi-dry (e.g. 'Dayri', 'Deglet Noor', 'Zahidi'), and dry (e.g. 'Thoory'). The type of fruit depends on the glucose, fructose and sucrose content
We are celebrating the Old New Year! I congratulate you on this! Let all your dreams come true!
In Russia, according to statistics, about half of the country's population celebrates the Old New Year, gathering around the festive table.
The Old New Year came into our culture together with the old style of chronology.
In 1918, the Bolshevik government decided to change the calendar. Tsarist Russia lived according to the Julian calendar, and Europe according to the Gregorian calendar. The first was created in the Roman Empire and was based on ancient Egyptian astronomy. The Gregorian calendar was more accurate, it was created in the 16th century taking into account the latest knowledge about the structure of the universe. The difference between the two systems of calculation was 13 days and created inconveniences for conducting international political and economic affairs and led to funny incidents in everyday life. For example, according to the dates on postmarks, it turned out that a telegram was received in Europe several days earlier than it was sent in Russia.
The transition to the Western European calendar took place on February 14, 1918. According to the decree, the main goal of the entire project was "to establish in Russia the same calendar as almost all cultural nations." An unusual holiday also appeared - the Old New Year, that is, the New Year according to the old style, which was not forgotten by the people. However, the Old New Year was not celebrated as widely as the night from December 31 to January 1.
Syracuse, Italy, 2016
The Dome of Syracuse on the island of Ortygia dates back more than 2500 years. Originally this church was an Athena temple, build by the first tyrant of Syracuse around 480 b.c.
Heath Park, Cardiff, 15 March 2021. A recently installed bench basks in the spring sunshine at the side of a path that has been upgraded to give a firmer surface for walking.
Heath Park is a 91 acre / 37 hectare park on the north side of Cardiff, a remnant of the Great Heath that covered a large tract of land westward to Rhiwbina and north to Llanishen. Its role as a public recreational area only dates from the 1950s, and since 1987 has been home to the Cardiff Model Engineering Society, which has established the Heath Park Miniature Railway and Tramway with two model railways.
Tonopah, Nevada
Tonopah Cemetery dates from 1901 -1911. It is full of victims of the Belmont Fire, a mining disaster of February 23, 1911 and the 1902 (some say 1905) Tonopah plague. This was a huge pneumonia outbreak. A few others include sad, and random accidental local deaths from back then which can be read on the memorials.
Winter is almost over now
I spent most of the year
Dreading you
You are a curse that always
Lasts about 2 to 3 months
Though, each year I'm alive
Your visits grow shorter
You remind me of death
Everything will leave us in time
All living entities have an Expiration
Not all dates are readable or Predictable
But winter comes and takes so much away from us.
It is hard to even appreciate Autumn
When you think about
All of the beauty dying.
All of the colors drying out.
And the Withering…
The challenge to find beauty
In less expected places.
The air, although it seems, crisp at first, becomes
Far more chilling, and intolerable.
The greater the years I am alive,
The more brutal it feels.
It gets to feeling like
I have no skin at all.
But now, I realize
Spring is actually coming.
Spring is a hopeful time yet
Will I ironically miss the dread?
I feel remorse for the fact that
I have no excuse to stay
Inside, isolated, and depressed.
This feels much more like my
Genuine human state.
I cannot resist the world in Spring when life is reborn
I literally have no reasons left
To not go outside.
The experience of the world is
Waiting for me.
Am I ready?

Descend below the streets of Sultanahmet into this majestic underground reservoir which dates back to the 6th century. Also called the Sunken Palace, it is the largest cistern from Istanbul's Byzantine-era still standing, and something that James Bond fans might recognize from the film, 'From Russia with Love'. The underground chamber has over 336 distinctive marble and granite columns believed to have been salvaged from nearby buildings, the most famous being the two Medusa heads.
Wistman's Wood is one of Britain's last remaining ancient temperate rainforests and one of three remote high-altitude oakwoods on Dartmoor in Devon.
The first written document to mention Wistman's Wood dates to the 17th century, while more recent tree-ring studies show that individual trees could be many hundreds of years old. It is likely to be a leftover from the ancient forest that covered much of Dartmoor c. 7000 BC
It was selected as a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1964 and is owned by the Duchy of Cornwall
(Pedionomus torquatus)
Somewhere 70km North of Deniliquin - NSW
Austrália
When we were planning our trip and looking for interesting places and species to photograph in/around Victoria, we came across this amazing but endangered bird. From that moment, we couldn’t wait to have the oportunity to get some shots of it!
However, when we contacted Patricia Maher in late April, we found out that Philip Maher’s available dates were super limited. Since we’d already booked our internal flights, it didn’t seem doable at first. But we’d left our last day in Melbourne free, partly to avoid the risk of delayed or canceled flights and partly to enjoy the city a bit before heading back home on the 26th.
That gave us a whole day (the 25th) to go for this bird! We booked two nights in Deniliquin and braced ourselves for a birding marathon starting at 6:30 AM and possibly ending at 2 AM on the 26th (luckily, our flight home from Melbourne wasn’t until 3 PM).
Two days before the big day, we got in touch with Patricia again, and she told us the weather forecast wasn’t looking great – rain was expected. But hey, plans are plans.
The day before, we drove from Melbourne to Deniliquin (a 3-hour, 270km drive) under nonstop rain. By this point, we were beyond exhausted: after 4 weeks of birding (our longest trip ever!), dealing with an 11-hour time difference, staying in 12 different accommodations, catching 5 internal flights and 3 international ones, eating food very different from what we were used to (and often skipping meals), waking up most days at 5 AM, we almost decided to turn back.
Plus, we already had a decent collection of photos on our hard drives. Honestly, all we wanted was to head back to Melbourne, relax, and enjoy the photos we’d taken.
The idea of driving in the rain for what might turn out to be a wasted effort wasn’t motivating at all. We were this close to turning around and heading back.
Thank goodness we didn’t! Not only did the rain ease up the next day, but we also managed to spot more than 40 new species – including both the male and female of this gorgeous bird. We got hundreds of photos from all the angles and distances we wanted! The female wasn’t super cooperative (she didn’t show off her pretty legs), but the male was a real show-off and a photographer’s dream. I’ll share his photos later too.
Note 1: This is the female of the species. She’s actually more colorful than the male, though some individuals are even more vibrant than this one.
Note 2: Nope, she’s not in the nest. Fun fact about this species: it’s the male that incubates the eggs and raises the chicks. The female focuses on defending her territory and mates with multiple males.

All my photos are now organized into sets by the country where they were taken, by taxonomic order, by family, by species (often with just one photo for the rarer ones), and by the date they were taken.

Český Krumlov is a small city in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic, best known for the fine architecture and art of the historic old town and the Castle.
Construction of the town and castle began in the late 13th century at a ford in the Vltava River, which was important in trade routes. Most of the architecture of the old town and castle dates from the 14th through 17th centuries; the town's structures are mostly in Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. The core of the old town is within a horseshoe bend of the river, with the old Latrán neighborhood and castle on the other side of the Vltava.
Since 1992 Old Český Krumlov is a Unesco World Heritage Site.
