Perth Bridge (also known as Smeaton's Bridge, locally, the Old Bridge and in the local dialect of Scots, "the Auld Brig") is a toll-free bridge in the city of Perth, Scotland. It spans the River Tay, connecting Perth, on the western side of the river, to Bridgend, on its eastern side, carrying both automotive and pedestrian traffic of West Bridge Street (the A85). It is a Category A listed structure.
The bridge was completed in October 1771, which places it in the Georgian era; however, its plaque states the year in which construction began, 1766, as its "built" date. The engineer of its construction was John Smeaton, after whom the bridge is named.
In 1949 G.H. Durrant of Windy Nook, Cromer wrote to the EDP with some Norfolk dialect names for birds and this sparked an explosion of correspondence in the letters page which was subsequently printed as a book.
Here are some of the names:
Green Ulf (greenfinch)
Furrow-Chuck (whinchat)
Guleham (yellow-hammer)
Draw-Water or King Harry (goldfinch)

Gulls, often referred to as seagulls, are seabirds of the family Laridae in the suborder Lari. They are most closely related to the terns (family Sternidae) and only distantly related to auks, skimmers, and more distantly to the waders. Until the 21st century, most gulls were placed in the genus Larus, but this arrangement is now known to be polyphyletic, leading to the resurrection of several genera. An older name for gulls is mew, cognate with German Möwe, Danish måge, Dutch meeuw, and French mouette; this term can still be found in certain regional dialects.
Gulls are typically medium to large birds, usually grey or white, often with black markings on the head or wings. They typically have harsh wailing or squawking calls, stout, longish bills, and webbed feet. Most gulls, particularly Larus species, are ground-nesting carnivores, which take live food or scavenge opportunistically. Live food often includes crabs and small fish. Gulls have unhinging jaws which allow them to consume large prey. Apart from the kittiwakes, gulls are typically coastal or inland species, rarely venturing far out to sea.The large species take up to four years to attain full adult plumage, but two years is typical for small gulls. Large white-headed gulls are typically long-lived birds, with a maximum age of 49 years recorded for the herring gull.
Gulls nest in large, densely packed noisy colonies. They lay two or three speckled eggs in nests composed of vegetation. The young are precocial, being born with dark mottled down, and mobile upon hatching.

Lake Misurina (Italian: Lago di Misurina; Cadorino dialect: Lago de Meśorìna) is the largest natural lake of the Cadore and it is 1,754 m above sea level, near Auronzo di Cadore (Belluno). The lake's perimeter is 2.6 km long, while the maximum depth is 5 m.
Near the lake there are about ten hotels with accommodation for around 500 people.
The particular climatic characteristics of the area around the lake make particularly good air for those who have respiratory diseases. Near the lake is the only center in Italy for the care of childhood asthma.
The lake was the theme of a famous song by Claudio Baglioni. Lake Misurina is also the theme of the theatrical representation of the Longane di Lozzo.
Lake Misurina is where the speed skating events were held during the 1956 Winter Olympics of Cortina d'Ampezzo – the last time Olympic speed skating events were held on natural ice.
Misurina lies on the route of the Dolomites Gold Cup Race.
There are at least two different legends associated with Lake Misurina. In the first one, which was also made famous by a song named "Sabato pomeriggio" by Claudio Baglioni, Misurina is a little capricious and spiteful girl who lives literally held in the palm of the hand of her gigantic father, the king Sorapiss that, to fulfill another desire and obtain for her the magic mirror from the Queen of Monte Cristallo, he is transformed into a mountain. During the last stages of the transformation he sees his daughter fall and his tears flow like rivers and form the lake beneath which his daughter will forever live with the magic mirror.
In the second one, Mesurina (who is later nicknamed) is a daughter of wealthy merchants from Venice who send her away in the mountains by her father anxious not to fulfill a prophecy that would see the girl give away all their possessions. Following some tragic amorous events vaguely reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet, the girl dies, and she is recognized on the point of death by a lover whom she met in bloom and from whom she was brought away by deception from the stables of his father and a servant sent by him (Wikipedia).

Germany, Hamburg, "Planten un Blomen" is an approximately 47 hectare park in the centre of Hamburg.
The name "Planten un Blomen" is in the North German dialect & it means “Plants & Flowers”. The founder & first director of the botanical garden in the Hamburg walls, Johann G. C. Lehmann, planted a plane tree in November 1821, the first tree in the park. The tree is located still today at the Dammtor train station entrance between the large tropical glasshouse & the Congress Centre, the tree is a natural symbol representing the beginnings of the gardens.
The park is a popular destination for the inhabitants in the Hamburg metropolitan area & tourists; it is part of a green zone that stretches horizontally through the whole nearly 2 million city down to the harbour.

Talkin Tarn is a glacial lake and country park near Brampton, Cumbria, England. The lake is a kettle hole lake, formed 10,000 years ago by mass glacial action.
The name is of Brittonic origin. The Brittonic dialect known as Cumbric was formerly spoken in the area. The first element, tal, means "brow" or "end" in Brittonic and modern Welsh, Cornish, and Breton. The second element is unclear. It may come from the Brittonic word which appears in Welsh and Old Cornish as can ("white") and Breton as kann ("bland, brilliant"). Talkin may be a hill-name meaning "white brow".
'Tarn' is derived from Old Norse 'tjǫrn' and then Middle English 'terne' meaning 'small mountain pool' or 'small lake'.
Talkin Tarn Country Park is owned and maintained by Carlisle City Council. It is home to the Boat House Tea Rooms, Brampton Sailing Club, and Talkin Tarn Amateur Rowing Club. The profits from the Tea Rooms and the pay and display car parking are reinvested in the up keep and improvement of the site.
Rowing is an activity at Talkin Tarn. The rowing club, Talkin Tarn Amateur Rowing Club, celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2009. Rowing races were first held on Talkin Tarn in the 1850s, and the Rowing Club was formed in 1859 by local townsfolk, several descendants of whom still live in the area. It is the oldest rowing club in the North of England, with the exception of Tyne Rowing Club, and is the 14th oldest non-university club in the country. Talkin Tarn Annual Regatta has grown considerably in recent years from a total entry of 20 in 1946 and 97 in 1988 to what it is today – very successful and one of the largest one-day regattas outside of London with total entries now in excess of 400.
On 9th November 1983 an Aerospatiale Gazelle Helicopter (reg G-SFTB) crashed into the tarn during a low level training flight from Carlisle Airport. The single occupant escaped the crash but the helicopter, once raised from the bottom, was damaged beyond repair.
Research on climate change carried out at Talkin Tarn was published in 2004.
Old buckles, stone axes, and urns have been found in the area.

In some countries, caucasian is call The Red Hair Man by the Chinese with different dialects, eg;
1. Hong Mou Yan - Cantonese dialect
2. Ung More Lung - Hokkien dialect
3. Hoong Mao Yin - Hakka dialect
4. Honk Mao Ren - Mandarin dialect
etc...
Basically the first word mean red, second word mean hair, and the last word means man/people. And often, many people like to replace the last word with;
1. Yan -> Guai
2. Lung -> Guee
3. Yin -> Gui
4. Ren -> Guay
And it means 'Ghost', not sure why is that so.
Besides The Red Hair Man, there're couple of things I like about this shot, mainly is the amount of contrast elements within this shot...lots of them if you look carefully!

Dory the cat's sittin' at her windae, watchin' the lively carry-on doon below wi' a growin' sense o' suspicion. As the meeces dart back an' forth across the field, somethin' on the sidelines catches her eye. There's that awful reprobate, Brushtail Mousie, who's gone an' set up a wee stall where she's takin' bets on the outcome o' the game. Dory's ears twitch, an' her suspicions deepen.
Could there be a connection between these bets an' the "donations" the BunBuns are so freely handin' oot tae the players? Dory's got a feelin' in her whiskers that Brushtail Mousie an' the BunBuns might be in cahoots. Maybe these donations arenae just innocent wee gifts, but part o' some bigger scheme tae rig the game. The BunBuns arenae just gamblin'—they're makin' investments, an' Brushtail Mousie could be the one makin' sure those investments pay aff.
Dory narrows her eyes even mair as she thinks it over. Whatever's goin' on here, it reeks o' a crafty plan that could turn the daft world o' pawball-playin' meeces upside doon. In a world where Brushtail Mousie is pullin' the strings, ye can bet yer last bit o' kibble that nothin's left tae chance.
Dory, die Katze, sitzt an ihrem Fenster und beobachtet das lebhafte Treiben unten mit wachsendem Misstrauen. Während die Mäuse auf dem Spielfeld hin und her flitzen, zieht etwas am Rand des Geschehens ihre Aufmerksamkeit auf sich. Da ist Brushtail Mousie, dieser abscheuliche Halunke, der doch tatsächlich einen Stand aufgebaut hat, an dem sie Wetten auf den Ausgang des Spiels annimmt. Dorys Ohren zucken, und ihr Verdacht wächst.
Könnte es einen Zusammenhang zwischen diesen Wetten und den "Spenden" geben, die die BunBuns so großzügig an die Spieler verteilen? Dory hat den scharfen Verdacht, dass Brushtail Mousie und die BunBuns gemeinsame Sache machen. Vielleicht sind die Spenden gar keine unschuldigen Gaben, sondern Teil eines größeren Plans, um das Spiel zu manipulieren. Die BunBuns wetten nicht nur, sie investieren—und Brushtail Mousie könnte genau derjenige sein, der dafür sorgt, dass sich diese Investitionen auszahlen.
Dorys Augen verengen sich noch mehr, als sie darüber nachdenkt. Was auch immer hier vor sich geht, es riecht stark nach einem ausgeklügelten Plan, der die naive Welt der Pfotenball spielenden Mäuse gründlich durcheinanderbringen könnte. In einer Welt, in der Brushtail Mousie die Fäden zieht, scheint nichts dem Zufall überlassen zu sein.
The Code of Hammurabi is a Babylonian legal text composed during 1755–1750 BC. It is the longest, best-organized, and best-preserved legal text from the ancient Near East. It is written in the Old Babylonian dialect of Akkadian, purportedly by Hammurabi, sixth king of the First Dynasty of Babylon. The primary copy of the text is inscribed on a basalt stele 2.25 m (7 ft 4+1⁄2 in) tall.
The stele was rediscovered in 1901 at the site of Susa in present-day Iran, where it had been taken as plunder six hundred years after its creation. The text itself was copied and studied by Mesopotamian scribes for over a millennium. The stele now resides in the Louvre Museum.
The top of the stele features an image in relief of Hammurabi with Shamash, the Babylonian sun god and god of justice. Below the relief are about 4,130 lines of cuneiform text: one fifth contains a prologue and epilogue in poetic style, while the remaining four fifths contain what are generally called the laws. In the prologue, Hammurabi claims to have been granted his rule by the gods "to prevent the strong from oppressing the weak". The laws are casuistic, expressed as "if ... then" conditional sentences. Their scope is broad, including, for example, criminal law, family law, property law, and commercial law.
Modern scholars responded to the Code with admiration at its perceived fairness and respect for the rule of law, and at the complexity of Old Babylonian society. There was also much discussion of its influence on the Mosaic Law. Scholars quickly identified lex talionis—the "eye for an eye" principle—underlying the two collections. Debate among Assyriologists has since centred around several aspects of the Code: its purpose, its underlying principles, its language, and its relation to earlier and later law collections.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding these issues, Hammurabi is regarded outside Assyriology as an important figure in the history of law and the document as a true legal code. The U.S. Capitol has a relief portrait of Hammurabi alongside those of other historic lawgivers. There are replicas of the stele in numerous institutions, including the headquarters of the United Nations in New York City and the Pergamon Museum in Berlin.
Translated from Yorkshire dialect this reads "I will tell you what ... I will give you more than a dirty look in a minute my friend".
Italien / Belluno - Cadini di Misurina
Hike around the Cadini group
Wanderung um die Cadini Gruppe
Rifugio Città di Carpi
Cadini di Misurina (Ciadìs de Meśorìna in Ladin) is a group of mountains in the eastern Dolomites in the Province of Belluno, Italy. These mountains rise to the west of Auronzo di Cadore, north-east of Cortina d'Ampezzo and south of Dobbiaco, in a position overlooking Lake Misurina. They are part of the Dolomites subsection of Sesto, of Braies, and of Ampezzo, and belong to the municipality of Auronzo di Cadore. The highest peak is the Cima Cadin of San Lucano (2.839 m a.s.l.).
The term Cadini derives from the Cadorino dialect ''ciadìn'' which translates into valleys, and refers to the labyrinthian structure of the massif.
Description
The mountain range is crossed by the Alta Via n. 4 path and from the equipped Alberto Bonacossa path, which starts from the southern shore of the lake and reaches the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. The particular geomorphology that distinguishes and so deeply characterizes the Cadini di Misurina, however, allows to cross the group by various lines so that, going up and down from their forks, it becomes possible to enjoy the dolomitic paradise that surrounds them. The equipped path Giovanni Durissini allows for example to complete the complete tour of the branch of San Lucano. It is a ring route, starting at the Fonda-Savio refuge (2,367 m), which runs in sequence the Torre fork (2,400 m), the Sabbee fork (2,440 m), the Cadin Deserto fork (2,400 m), the Cristina fork, the de la Neve fork (2,471 m) and lastly the Nevaio fork (2,620 m), with a total height difference of about 1,000 m. The first climb dates back to 31 August 1896 by Giovanni Siorpaes, Pietro Siorpaes, Ilona Eötvös, Rolanda Eötvös, Johann Innerkofler, and Loránd Eötvös.
Accommodation facilities include refuge Fonda-Savio (2367 m), refuge Col da Varda (2115 m), and refuge Città di Carpi (2110 m).

Die Cadini di Misurina bilden als Untergruppe den südlichen Abschluss der Sextener Dolomiten und befinden sich in der Provinz Belluno in Italien. Die aufgrund zahlreicher spektakulärer Felsgipfel und Zinnen sehr eindrucksvolle Gebirgslandschaft wird im Westen vom Misurinasee, im Norden von den Drei Zinnen und im Süden und Osten vom Val d’Ansiei begrenzt und gilt als ein Paradies für Kletterer. Der höchste Berg ist die Cima Cadin di San Lucano (2839 m). Als Teil der von der UNESCO unter „Nördliche Dolomiten“ zusammengefassten Dolomitengruppen, gehört die Cadini-Gruppe mit allen Untergruppen seit dem 26. Juni 2009 zum UNESCO Welterbe Dolomiten.
Auf die Cima Cadin Nord Est (2796 m) führt ein sehr ausgesetzter Klettersteig, die Via Ferrata Merlone. Der Bonacossaweg (Sentiero Bonacossa) durchquert, teils ausgesetzt und versichert, unter Ausnützung von Felsbändern und alten Pfaden aus dem Gebirgskrieg, über mehrere Scharten die gesamte Berggruppe. Als lohnende Tour gilt auch die hochalpine Umrundung der zentralen Cadini-Gruppe (Giro di Cadini) auf dem Sentiero Durissini. Im Winter gilt dieser Weg als sehr anspruchsvolle Skitour.
Vom Misurinasee führt ein Sessellift zum Rifugio Col de Varda.

Manarola (Manaea in the local dialect) is a small town, a frazione of the comune (municipality) of Riomaggiore, in the province of La Spezia, Liguria, northern Italy. It is the second smallest of the famous Cinque Terre towns frequented by tourists.
Manarola may be the oldest of the towns in the Cinque Terre, with the cornerstone of the church, San Lorenzo, dating from 1338. The local dialect is Manarolese, which is marginally different from the dialects in the nearby area. The name "Manarola" is probably dialectical evolution of the Latin, "magna rota". In the Manarolese dialect this was changed to "magna roea" which means "large wheel", in reference to the mill wheel in the town.
Manarola's primary industries have traditionally been fishing and wine-making. The local wine, called Sciacchetrà, is especially renowned; references from Roman writings mention the high quality of the wine produced in the region. In recent years, Manarola and its neighboring towns have become popular tourist destinations, particularly in the summer months. Tourist attractions in the region include a famous walking trail between Manarola and Riomaggiore (called Via dell'Amore, "Love's Trail") and hiking trails in the hills and vineyards above the town. Manarola is one of the five villages. Mostly all of the houses are bright and colourful.
Manarola was celebrated in paintings by the artists Llewelyn Lloyd (1879-1949) ("I ponti di Manarola" [:The Bridges of Manarola, 1904] and "Tramonto a Manarola" [:Sunset at Manarola, 1904] and Antonio Discovolo (1874–1956).

Die Cadini di Misurina bilden als Untergruppe den südlichen Abschluss der Sextener Dolomiten und befinden sich in der Provinz Belluno in Italien. Die aufgrund zahlreicher spektakulärer Felsgipfel und Zinnen sehr eindrucksvolle Gebirgslandschaft wird im Westen vom Misurinasee, im Norden von den Drei Zinnen und im Süden und Osten vom Val d’Ansiei begrenzt und gilt als ein Paradies für Kletterer. Der höchste Berg ist die Cima Cadin di San Lucano (2839 m). Als Teil der von der UNESCO unter „Nördliche Dolomiten“ zusammengefassten Dolomitengruppen, gehört die Cadini-Gruppe mit allen Untergruppen seit dem 26. Juni 2009 zum UNESCO Welterbe Dolomiten.
Auf die Cima Cadin Nord Est (2796 m) führt ein sehr ausgesetzter Klettersteig, die Via Ferrata Merlone. Der Bonacossaweg (Sentiero Bonacossa) durchquert, teils ausgesetzt und versichert, unter Ausnützung von Felsbändern und alten Pfaden aus dem Gebirgskrieg, über mehrere Scharten die gesamte Berggruppe. Als lohnende Tour gilt auch die hochalpine Umrundung der zentralen Cadini-Gruppe (Giro di Cadini) auf dem Sentiero Durissini. Im Winter gilt dieser Weg als sehr anspruchsvolle Skitour.
Vom Misurinasee führt ein Sessellift zum Rifugio Col de Varda.

Rauma is the third oldest city in Finland, was founded in 1442 and is known today for its wooden old town (UNESCO World Heritage Site) and its special dialect.
Módena (Mòdna en dialecto modenés; Modena en italiano) es una ciudad italiana, capital de la provincia de Módena, en la región Emilia-Romaña. Cuenta con una población de 184 973 habitantes. La catedral, la Torre Cívica («Ghirlandina») y la Piazza Grande de la ciudad están declaradas Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco.
Módena queda en la llanura padana, y está rodeada por dos ríos, el Secchia y el Panaro, ambos afluentes del Po. Su presencia está simbolizada por la fuente de los dos ríos, en el centro de la ciudad, obra de Giuseppe Graziosi. La ciudad está conectada con el Panaro a través del canal Naviglio.
La cordillera de los Apeninos comienzan a unos 10 kilómetros al sur de la ciudad.
Módena es un importante centro industrial. La ciudad se ubica en el corazón de la «Motor Valley» que forma un conjunto de grupos industriales prestigios así como numerosos circuitos y museos. Las empresas Lamborghini, Pagani, Ferrari y Maserati tienen su sede dentro de un radio de 20 km alrededor de Módena.
Ubicado en la llanura Padana, el territorio modenés dispone de importantes riquezas gustativas. Su producto líder es el vinagre balsámico producido en los dominios agrícolas en el entorno de Módena. La base de su elaboración son las uvas cosechadas en los viñedos de la provincia. El lambrusco, vino rosado burbujeante, tiene como origen las viñas cercanas de Módena y Reggio Emilia. Además, Módena es la tierra del queso parmigiano reggiano y del jamón de Módena. Junto con Bolonia, Módena comparte el lugar de origen de la pasta tortellini.
El Duomo de Módena, la Torre Ghirlandina y la Piazza Grande están incluidos desde 1997 dentro del Patrimonio mundial de la UNESCO. El arquitecto Lanfranco y el escultor Wiligelmo erigieron el Duomo en el siglo XII por San Geminiano, obispo de Módena y Santo Patrón de la ciudad. Entre 1179 y 1319 se construyó la torre Ghirlandina asociada con el Duomo. Su nombre de Ghirlandina -guirnalda- resulta de su forma y recuerda la torre Giralda de Sevilla.
Durante más de dos siglos, la familia Este tenía como sede el Palazzo Ducale (palacio ducal). Hoy en día, este palacio recibe la Academia militar.
El Palazzo Comunale –ayuntamiento– cuya la fachada está en la Piazza Grande abarca un conjunto de edificios más antiguos. Dentro del edificio se encuentra la Secchia rapita –el cubo raptado- uno de los símbolos de la ciudad. La estatua de la Bonissima, símbolo de bondad, está posada en la esquina exterior del Palazzo Comunale.
Iglesias. Módena es una ciudad rica en iglesias, se cuentan más de quince en el casco histórico. También es importante nombrar a la iglesia de Santa María Pomposa, la iglesia del Voto o la iglesia de San Vicenzo. Existe también una sinagoga ubicada cerca del Palazzo Comunale.
En el mercado Albinelli se reúnen cada día productores locales de vinagre balsámico, jamón curdo o queso, entre otros.

The capital of Suriname is Paramaribo, a City with a rich history of colonial times. The country suffered a lot of influence from the English and later the Dutch. The official language is still Dutch and here we drive on the left side of the street. Sranantongo is a dialect widely spoken too besides English.
There were a lot of houses all built with noble wood since the country is part of the Amazon world and has plenty of flora and fauna to live with. I am here choosing to picture some old houses that are either for sale or abandoned or have been recuperated and people are living inside of them. It is a worthwhile journey to get to know some of these typical wooden houses of Paramaribo. I find them very charming.

Er waren veel van de huizen allemaal gebouwd met nobel hout, aangezien het land deel uitmaakt van de Amazone-wereld en veel flora en fauna heeft om mee te leven. Ik kies er hier voor om me een paar oude huizen voor te stellen die ofwel te koop staan, ofwel verlaten zijn of gerecupereerd zijn en er mensen in wonen. Het is de moeite waard om enkele van deze typische houten huizen van Paramaribo te leren kennen. Ik vind ze erg charmant.

La capitale du Suriname est Paramaribo, une ville avec une riche histoire de l'époque coloniale. Le pays a beaucoup souffert de l'influence des Anglais et plus tard des Néerlandais. La langue officielle est toujours le néerlandais et ici nous roulons sur le côté gauche de la rue. Le sranantongo est un dialecte largement parlé en plus de l'anglais.
Il y avait beaucoup de maisons toutes construites avec du bois noble car le pays fait partie du monde amazonien et regorge de faune et de flore. Je choisis ici d'imaginer quelques vieilles maisons qui sont soit à vendre, soit abandonnées ou qui ont été récupérées et des gens y vivent. Cela vaut la peine de découvrir certaines de ces maisons en bois typiques de Paramaribo. Je les trouve très charmants.

C'erano molte case tutte costruite con legno nobile poiché il paese fa parte del mondo amazzonico e ha molta flora e fauna con cui convivere. Sto qui scegliendo di immaginare alcune vecchie case che sono in vendita, o abbandonate o sono state recuperate e le persone ci vivono. Vale la pena fare un viaggio per conoscere alcune di queste tipiche case in legno di Paramaribo. Li trovo molto affascinanti.

Es gab viele Häuser, die alle aus edlem Holz gebaut wurden, da das Land Teil der amazonischen Welt ist und viel Flora und Fauna zum Leben hat. Ich bin hier, um mir einige alte Häuser vorzustellen, die entweder zum Verkauf stehen oder verlassen sind oder wiederhergestellt wurden und in denen Menschen leben. Es ist eine Reise wert, einige dieser typischen Holzhäuser von Paramaribo kennenzulernen. Ich finde sie sehr charmant.
عاصمة سورينام هي باراماريبو ، وهي مدينة ذات تاريخ غني من العصور الاستعمارية. عانت البلاد من نفوذ الإنجليز ثم الهولنديين لاحقًا. اللغة الرسمية لا تزال هولندية وهنا نقود السيارة في الجانب الأيسر من الشارع. Sranantongo هي لهجة منتشرة على نطاق واسع إلى جانب اللغة الإنجليزية.
كان هناك الكثير من المنازل التي بنيت جميعها بالخشب النبيل لأن البلاد جزء من عالم الأمازون ولديها الكثير من النباتات والحيوانات لتعيش معها. أنا هنا أختار أن أتخيل بعض المنازل القديمة التي هي إما معروضة للبيع أو مهجورة أو تم إصلاحها ويعيش الناس بداخلها. إنها رحلة تستحق التعرف على بعض هذه المنازل الخشبية النموذجية في باراماريبو. أجدهم ساحرين للغاية.
Just one of those situations where the ol oojamaflip is drashed int deck, translating this from Cornish to English will read -: Emphasis must be placed on securing the tripod and its associated equipment securely into the sand as much as possible then wait in anticipation because when the tide goes back out it nearly takes you and the gear with it.🏊♂️
You then regroup do it all over again until you get a shot that (a) is not out of level and (b) looks half sensible, well actually that is a decision you good people will make.
Then it is back to the rocks and drink in the wonderful surroundings as darkness falls over the Camel Estuary, like a little piece of Heaven. 😎

Helgoland is a German island in the North Sea.Helgoland was established around 4000 BC. an island due to rising sea levels after the last ice age. The island was colonized from Friesland in the 8th century. The current residents still speak a North Frisian dialect, the Helgolands or Halunder Freesk. It was incorporated into the Viking Empire. In 1720 a sandbank between Helgoland and the smaller island of Düne largely washed away due to a storm tide. The connection between the two islands was lost as a result. Heligoland remained in Denmark until 1814. The British conquered the island in 1807 from the Danes. The strategically important island. In 1890 the British exchanged Helgoland on Germany for East African Zanzibar. Emperor Wilhelm II converted Helgoland into a naval support point and it remained that way until after the Second World War. In the First World War all residents were forced to leave the island. At the end of World War II, a thousand airplanes from the Royal Air Force carried out a destructive bombing, dropping around seven thousand bombs, making the island uninhabitable and the population to be evacuated. In 1952 the population was allowed to return after long insistence. At the northern end Helgoland you can see Lange Anna a landmark of Helgoland. Lange Anna is a tall 47 metres high sea stack of Buntsandstein. Its real local name is Nathurn Stak.
The Helgoland museum offers a rich overview as to the history, the folklore and the nature of the island. Helgolander Franz Schensky (1871-1957) is one of the pioneers of black and white photography and has a permanent place in the history of German photography. Franz Schensky has his own place at the Helgoland museum. With his photos he takes you into the breathtaking world of the beauty of the North Sea. On the north side of Helgoland you see Lange Anna, a landmark of Helgoland. Photograph Franz Schensky of Lange Anna c. 1900.
Helgoland is een Duits eiland in de Noordzee. Helgoland werd rond 4000 v.Chr. een eiland door het stijgen van de zeespiegel na de laatste ijstijd. In de 8e eeuw werd het eiland vanuit Friesland gekoloniseerd. De huidige bewoners spreken nog steeds een Noord-Fries dialect, het Helgolands of Halunder Freesk. Het werd ingelijfd bij het Vikingrijk. In 1720 spoelde een zandbank tussen Helgoland en het kleinere eiland Düne door een stormvloed grotendeels weg. De verbinding tussen de twee eilanden ging daardoor verloren. Helgoland bleef tot 1814 tot Denemarken behoren. De Britten veroverden het eiland in 1807 op de Denen. Het strategisch belangrijke eiland. In 1890 ruilde de Britten Helgoland aan Duitsland voor het Oost-Afrikaanse Zanzibar. Keizer Wilhelm II bouwde Helgoland uit tot marinesteunpunt en dat bleef het tot na de Tweede Wereldoorlog. In de Eerste Wereldoorlog werden alle bewoners gedwongen het eiland te verlaten. Op het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog voerden duizend vliegtuigen van de Royal Air Force een vernietigend bombardement uit, waarbij circa zevenduizend bommen werden afgeworpen, waardoor het eiland onbewoonbaar werd en de bevolking moest worden geëvacueerd. In 1952 mocht de bevolking na lang aandringen terugkeren. Sindsdien leeft het eiland hoofdzakelijk van het toerisme. Het Helgoland-museum biedt een rijk overzicht van de geschiedenis, de folklore en de aard van het eiland. Je kunt ook genieten van films. De geschiedenis is opwindend omdat Helgoland is beïnvloed door Deense, Britse en Duitse inzittenden. Helgolander Franz Schensky (1871-1957) is één van de pioniers van de zwart-wit fotografie en heeft een vaste plaats in de geschiedenis van de Duitse fotografie. Franz Schensky heeft zijn eigenplek in het Helgoland-museum. Met zijn foto's neemt hij je mee in de adembenemende wereld van de schoonheid van de Noordzee. Aan de noordkant van het Helgoland zie je Lange Anna, een herkenningspunt van Helgoland. Lange Anna is een lange 47 meter hoge rots (nu door omvallen bedreigde) van bontzandsteen. De echte lokale naam is Nathurn Stak. Foto van Franz Schensky van Lange Anna ca. 1900.

Von Lembang aus ist der Vulkan in den unteren Regionen von unerschlossenem Dschungel umgeben, gefördert durch die fruchtbare Vulkanasche. Neben dem inaktiven Hauptkrater gibt es zahlreiche Nebenkrater, die typischerweise als heiße Quellen vorkommen. Kleinere Ausbrüche mit Ascheregen treten gelegentlich auf, zuletzt im September 1983. Schwefeldioxidgeruch ist am Hauptkrater sowie an den zahlreichen Nebenkratern allgegenwärtig. Am 4. März 2013 brach er nach fast 30 jähriger Ruhe wieder aus. Er schleuderte Asche und Gestein 500 Meter hoch. Es wurde die zweithöchste Warnstufe ausgerufen.
Tangkuban Perahu (spelt Tangkuban Parahu in the local Sundanese dialect) is a stratovolcano 30 km north of the city of Bandung, the provincial capital of West Java, Indonesia.

Within the community of trees on earth, some individuals mastered foreign languages better than others. Everyone was talking to birds, elephants, mushrooms. They chirped most of the dialects of millions of species of insects and spiders. But only a very few know the language of humans.
Of course, they spoke among themselves in the common language of the trees which enabled them to philosophize, to gossip about the neighboring groves, and to share the news of the forests of the whole earth.
It is said that the trees, driven by the desire to bear witness to the seasons, had used writing for hundreds of millions of years ; a script in several dimensions, expressed through the interlacing of the branches of the crown. Seemingly chaotic, it was refined poetry with verses without beginning or end, and with sophisticated rhythms.
One day, an olive tree decided to write a letter to the human species. He had rubbed shoulders with them for centuries and witnessed the murder of the best of them (some were even hanged from his branches). He witnessed their devouring ambition, invading in a few short years the land patiently fertilized by his brothers to the point where he himself found himself isolated, locked in an enclosure with a dozen sheep. Admittedly, he did not complain about the old shepherdess who ensured that this little group could live as comfortably as possible. But he felt that beyond the enclosure, for kilometers around, there was only concrete, bitumen, glass, metal and hundreds of thousands of humans running in all directions.
One spring day, he grew white, smooth, dull leaves at some ends of his branches, just like human’s "paper". This only involved the sacrifice of a very small part of his energy. But it was more difficult for him to print on the sheets of paper the message he wanted to transmit to humans, without making any syntax or spelling mistakes. The trees were very picky on this point. They believed that the grammar should reflect events and their position over time as accurately as possible. They considered that vocabulary should not only describe things, but also be able to write them down in their history, place them in their context and their relationships with each other. Language, they said, is a poison if it divides the world into small isolated fragments.
So it was with infinite care, after careful consideration, that he produced a letter on twelve olive branches, each intended for a human tribe on earth, a letter with only this injunction: "Give up! Slow down!".
The shepherdess, discovering these leaves on the olive tree, naturally attached to its branches like fruit, read the message. She immediately rushed to the town hall and obtained an audience with the Mayor. He, concerned about public order and in a burst of benevolence towards the shepherdess, ordered the old hysteric into a medical nursing home, signed the papers to transfer the property of her sheep to an industrial breeder and close friend, and to burn the sick olive tree.
This event was immediately transmitted to the community of trees which discussed what arrangements should be made until the beginning of winter. By an astonishing coincidence, it was in this same year that the trees received a message of condolence from heaven.
Italien / Belluno - Cadini di Misurina
Hike around the Cadini group
Wanderung um die Cadini Gruppe
Cadini di Misurina (Ciadìs de Meśorìna in Ladin) is a group of mountains in the eastern Dolomites in the Province of Belluno, Italy. These mountains rise to the west of Auronzo di Cadore, north-east of Cortina d'Ampezzo and south of Dobbiaco, in a position overlooking Lake Misurina. They are part of the Dolomites subsection of Sesto, of Braies, and of Ampezzo, and belong to the municipality of Auronzo di Cadore. The highest peak is the Cima Cadin of San Lucano (2.839 m a.s.l.).
The term Cadini derives from the Cadorino dialect ''ciadìn'' which translates into valleys, and refers to the labyrinthian structure of the massif.
Description
The mountain range is crossed by the Alta Via n. 4 path and from the equipped Alberto Bonacossa path, which starts from the southern shore of the lake and reaches the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. The particular geomorphology that distinguishes and so deeply characterizes the Cadini di Misurina, however, allows to cross the group by various lines so that, going up and down from their forks, it becomes possible to enjoy the dolomitic paradise that surrounds them. The equipped path Giovanni Durissini allows for example to complete the complete tour of the branch of San Lucano. It is a ring route, starting at the Fonda-Savio refuge (2,367 m), which runs in sequence the Torre fork (2,400 m), the Sabbee fork (2,440 m), the Cadin Deserto fork (2,400 m), the Cristina fork, the de la Neve fork (2,471 m) and lastly the Nevaio fork (2,620 m), with a total height difference of about 1,000 m. The first climb dates back to 31 August 1896 by Giovanni Siorpaes, Pietro Siorpaes, Ilona Eötvös, Rolanda Eötvös, Johann Innerkofler, and Loránd Eötvös.
Accommodation facilities include refuge Fonda-Savio (2367 m), refuge Col da Varda (2115 m), and refuge Città di Carpi (2110 m).

Die Cadini di Misurina bilden als Untergruppe den südlichen Abschluss der Sextener Dolomiten und befinden sich in der Provinz Belluno in Italien. Die aufgrund zahlreicher spektakulärer Felsgipfel und Zinnen sehr eindrucksvolle Gebirgslandschaft wird im Westen vom Misurinasee, im Norden von den Drei Zinnen und im Süden und Osten vom Val d’Ansiei begrenzt und gilt als ein Paradies für Kletterer. Der höchste Berg ist die Cima Cadin di San Lucano (2839 m). Als Teil der von der UNESCO unter „Nördliche Dolomiten“ zusammengefassten Dolomitengruppen, gehört die Cadini-Gruppe mit allen Untergruppen seit dem 26. Juni 2009 zum UNESCO Welterbe Dolomiten.
Auf die Cima Cadin Nord Est (2796 m) führt ein sehr ausgesetzter Klettersteig, die Via Ferrata Merlone. Der Bonacossaweg (Sentiero Bonacossa) durchquert, teils ausgesetzt und versichert, unter Ausnützung von Felsbändern und alten Pfaden aus dem Gebirgskrieg, über mehrere Scharten die gesamte Berggruppe. Als lohnende Tour gilt auch die hochalpine Umrundung der zentralen Cadini-Gruppe (Giro di Cadini) auf dem Sentiero Durissini. Im Winter gilt dieser Weg als sehr anspruchsvolle Skitour.
Vom Misurinasee führt ein Sessellift zum Rifugio Col de Varda.

Italien / Trentino - Mezzano
Mezzano (Međàn in local dialect) is a comune (municipality) in Trentino in the northern Italian region Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, located about 50 kilometres (31 mi) east of Trento. As of 31 December 2004, it had a population of 1,644 and an area of 48.9 square kilometres (18.9 sq mi).
Mezzano borders the following municipalities: Siror, Canal San Bovo, Cesiomaggiore, Imer, Feltre, Sovramonte and Transacqua.
(Wikipedia)
By leaving behind the valley junction of the Val Noana valley, an impressive gorge at the foot of the Feltrine peaks, you reach Mezzano.
Situated at 640 m a.s.l., this village with its approx. 1,600 inhabitants is characterised by its rural past. It features several impressive corners, which reflect the main characteristics of the typical Primiero architectural style.
As also numerous other localities of the valley, once upon a time Mezzano was characterised by mining and the immigration of many miners from the region of Schwaz in Austria. Nevertheless it has never lost its characteristics as agricultural centre. Part of the municipal territory are also the "Prati di San Giovanni", an alpine area with several farms, a popular destination particularly in summer. This is also where the San Giovanni church is located.
Traditions are very important in Mezzano: the ancient costumes and traditions of the valley are kept alive by the folk group "Gruppo Folkloristico di Mezzano". However, there are several new sport facilites, as the soccer and athletics centre, where famous sports clubs excercise and compete.

Wenn man die Einmündung des Val Noana Tales, ein eindrucksvoller Landeinschnitt am Fuße der Feltrine Spitzen, hinter sich lässt, gelangt man nach Mezzano.
Auf 640 m gelegen, erkennt man in Mezzano noch dessen ländliche Vergangenheit. Die Ortschaft, die ca. 1.600 Einwohner zählt, weist zahlreiche eindrucksvolle Winkel auf, die geprägt sind von der typisch einfachen Architektur des Valle di Primiero Tales.
Wie zahlreiche andere Ortschaften des Tales, war auch Mezzano früher vom Bergbau und der Einwanderung zahlreicher Bergleute aus dem österreichischen Schwaz geprägt. Trotzdem hat es nie seine Eigenschaften als landwirtschaftliches Zentrum verloren. Zum Gemeindegebiet zählen auch die "Prati di San Giovanni", ein alpines Gebiet mit einigen Höfen, das in den Sommermonaten zu einem beliebten Ausflugsziel wird. Hier steht das Kirchlein San Giovanni.
Auch die Tradition wird in Mezzano groß geschrieben: Die alten Trachten und Bräuche des Tales werden von der ältesten Trachtengruppe des Trentino, dem "Gruppo Folkloristico di Mezzano", gepflegt und erhalten. Bemerkenswert sind auch das neue Fußball- und Athletikzentrum in Mezzano, wo namhafte Sportclubs, u.a. Fußballclubs der italienischen Serie A, trainieren und Sportmeisterschaften ausgetragen werden.

From Spring, by William Barnes (1801 – 1886) the Dorset poet who wrote many of his poems in Dorset dialect.
The Isola Bella (in local dialect Isola Bela) is located in the Lake Maggiore, is part of the group of so-called Borromean Islands and is located in the Gulf dedicated all'insigne family who still has the property, about 400 meters offshore Stresa . Measuring 320 meters in length and width of 180 and is largely occupied by the Italian garden of Palazzo Borromeo.
The Italian Baroque style garden is on parterres and terraces placed at different heights and alternates statues, obelisks, stone staircases and balustrades that create a spectacular facility thought to symbolize the power of the noble house.
The visitor today can walk the garden paths to climb up on the high terrace of the largest, real plank island command from which to admire the expanse of the lake and the charm of this garden forged by man.

L'Isola Bella (in dialetto locale Isola Bela) è situata nel lago Maggiore, fa parte del gruppo delle cosiddette Isole Borromee e si trova nel golfo dedicato all'insigne famiglia che ancora ne ha la proprietà, a circa 400 metri al largo di Stresa. Misura 320 metri di lunghezza e 180 di larghezza ed è in gran parte occupata dal giardino all'italiana del palazzo Borromeo.
Il giardino all’italiana di gusto barocco si sviluppa su parterres e terrazze poste ad altezze differenti ed alterna statue, obelischi, scalinate e balaustre in pietra che creano un impianto scenografico pensato per simboleggiare la potenza della nobile casata.
Il visitatore ancor oggi può percorrere i viali del giardino fino a salire sull’alto della terrazza più grande, vera plancia di comando dell’isola da cui ammirare la distesa del lago e l’incanto di questo giardino forgiato dall’uomo.
Sunrise, also called sunup in some American English dialects, is the time at which the first part of the Sun appears above the horizon in the east. Because the bending of sunlight causes the sun to be seen while it is still below the horizon, both sunrise and sunset are daily optical illusions.

Italien / Trentino - Tenno (Calvola)
Tenno (Tén in local dialect) is a comune (municipality) in Trentino in the northern Italian region Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, located about 30 kilometres (19 mi) southwest of Trento.
Tenno borders the following municipalities: Comano Terme, Fiavè, Arco, Ledro and Riva del Garda.
Tenno contains the waterfalls of Cascate del Varone.
Tenno hosts an yearly summer festival called Quarta d'Agosto (Fourth of August) which is celebrated the fourth Sunday of August, in Cologna.
(Wikipedia)
Tenno (auf deutsch früher Thenn) ist eine italienische Gemeinde in der Provinz Trient (Region Trentino-Südtirol) mit 2012 Einwohnern (Stand 31. Dezember 2019). Sie liegt 43 km südwestlich von Trient und 79 km nordwestlich von Verona.
Verwaltungsgliederung
Die Gemeinde Tenno setzt sich aus vier Fraktionen zusammen, zu denen wiederum mehrere Weiler (italienisch Località) gehören. Die Fraktionen, bis 1929 alle selbstständige Gemeinden, sind Cologna-Gavazzo, Tenno (Gemeindesitz), Ville del Monte und Pranzo. Die 3 Weiler Volta di No, Piazze und Teggiole sind Teil der Fraktion Cologna-Gavazzo. Die Weiler San Antonio, Calvola, Pastoedo, Canale, Lago di Tenno und Mattoni gehören zur Fraktion Ville del Monte.
Die Nachbargemeinden sind: Arco, Comano Terme, Fiavè, Ledro und Riva del Garda.
Geografie
Tenno liegt im Hinterland des Gardasees, einige Kilometer nördlich von Riva del Garda. Das Gemeindegebiet von Tenno auch als Tennese bezeichnet, erstreckt sich vom Ort Gavazzo Nuova (201 m s.l.m.) bis zum Rio Secco oberhalb des Tennosees und umfasst den ganzen dazwischen liegenden Bereich.
Eingegrenzt im Osten vom Monte Misone (1803 m s.l.m.) und seinen Ausläufern, liegen westlich die Berge der Ledrogruppe, denen der Monte Tombio (841 m s.l.m.) und der Monte S. Martino (1075 m s.l.m.) vorgelagert sind. Unterhalb des Monte Misone liegt der durch einen Hangrutsch im 12. Jahrhundert aufgestaute Tennosee. Das vom See in nordnordwestlicher Richtung weiterverlaufende und vom Rio Secco durchzogene Tal verengt sich zusehends und endet am Passo di Ballino (755 m s.l.m.), der bereits im Gemeindegebiet von Fiavè liegt und die geographische Grenze zu den Äußeren Judikarien darstellt. Dieser obere nördliche Bereich unterscheidet sich wesentlich vom südlichen vom Rio Magnone durchflossenen breiteren Abschnitt, der klimatisch vom nahe liegenden Gardasee beeinflusst wird.
Dieses nach dem Rio Magnone benannte Tal, Valle di Magnone, ist durch einen Gletscher entstanden, dessen Moräne am südöstlichen Ende des Tales eine terrassenartige Stufe aufgeworfen hat, auf der die Burg von Tenno liegt. Der Magnone, der an den Osthängen des Corno di Pichea (2138 m s.l.m.) entspringt hat das Tal tief eingeschnitten und überwindet die Moränenstufe in einem fast 100 m hohen klammartigen Wasserfall oberhalb von Varone, einer Fraktion von Riva del Garda, nach der der Wasserfall, Cascate del Varone, auch benannt ist. Der zweite erwähnenswerte Wasserlauf, der Rio Secco, im nördlichen Bereich, entspringt am Dosso della Torta (2156 m s.l.m.) und ist der einzige bedeutende Zufluss des Tennosees.
Alle Orte der Gemeinde liegen mit Ausnahme von Pranzo (463 m s.l.m.) auf der orographisch linken Talseite.
Das Gemeindegebiet von Tenno ist auch in der jüngeren Vergangenheit immer wieder von Erdrutschen heimgesucht worden. So löste sich westlich des Tennosees nach mehrtägigen schweren Regenfällen im November 2000 ein über 4 Millionen Kubikmeter großer Hangrutsch, der nicht nur den Lauf des Rio Magnone, sondern auch das Aussehen des Tales veränderte.
Geschichte
Tenno wurde 1194 als Theni erstmals urkundlich erwähnt. Wie Funde bezeugen, war die Gegend um Tenno aber bereits zur Bronzezeit besiedelt. Der Ortsname geht vermutlich auf eine langobardische Siedlung zurück, von der bei Ausgrabungen Reste gefunden wurden.
Die Lage an einer wichtigen Straße, die das Nordufer des Gardasees mit den Judikarien über den Passo Balino verband sowie der nahegelegene Pass Bocca di Trat, der eine wichtige Verbindung in das Ledrotal darstellte, waren ausschlaggebend für die Entwicklung des Ortes und seiner Burg. Tenno bestand historisch aus drei auch sonst klar von einander abgegrenzten Ortsteilen, den sogenannte Ville del Piano, die sich damit von den darüber gelegenen Ville del Monte auch namentlich unterschieden. Zu den Ville del Piano zählt Frapporta, der unter der Burg gelegene und mit einer eigenen Ringmauer und Türmen versehene, erstmals 1211 als infra pòrtam (deutsch zwischen den Toren) das heißt zwischen Stadt- und Burgtor erwähnte Ortsteil, der einen einzigen Wehrkomplex mit der angrenzenden Burg bildete und im Trentino eines der seltenen Beispiele darstellt, in der ein Wohnbereich in eine Wehrstruktur eingegliedert wurde.
Nördlich von Frapporta, heute rechts der zum Passo Balino führenden Staatsstraße, liegen die beiden Ortsteile Gardule und Veduto (auch als Revedù bezeichnet) mit der erstmals 1204 erwähnten Pfarrkirche Santa Maria Immacolata, die in der Vergangenheit mehrmals um- und ausgebaut wurde und deren heutiges Aussehen auf das Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts zurückgeht, während der Campanile noch aus dem 16. Jahrhundert stammt.
Nachdem Tenno seine Bedeutung als Straßenknotenpunkt mit dem Bau der Ponalestraße in das Ledrotal und der Straße durch die Limaro-Schlucht zwischen Sarche und Comano Terme in der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts verloren hat, stellt heute der Fremdenverkehr eine bedeutende Einkommensquelle dar.
Kulinarische Spezialitäten
Tenno gilt mit Arco und Varone als Ursprungsgebiet des traditionellen Trentiner Fleischgerichts Carne Salada.

The impressive figure of Riwwelmaddes is part of the memorial that was set up by the Prince Emil Veterans Association (Prinz-Emil-Veteranenverein) on the 9th of June 1852 to commemorate their comrades who fell during campaigns between 1792 and 1815. The memorial was moved to its current location in the Herrengartn in 1902. Local legend has it, that the figure was modeled on somebody called Mathias Riebel, and that people cried "that's Riwwel Maddes" when the memorial was unveiled. The imposing Germanic warrior has now become a part of Darmstadt folklore, and now has a column (written in dialect) in the local newspaper and a very good bar/restaurant named after him.

The surviving stones are sited on a promontory at the south bank of the stream that joins the southern ends of the sea loch Loch of Stenness and the freshwater Loch of Harray. The name, which is pronounced stane-is in Orcadian dialect, comes from Old Norse meaning stone headland. The stream is now bridged, but at one time was crossed by a stepping stone causeway, and the Ring of Brodgar lies about 1.2 km (0.75 mi) away to the north-west, across the stream and near the tip of the isthmus formed between the two lochs. Maeshowe chambered cairn is about 1.2 km (0.75 mi) to the east of the Standing Stones of Stenness and several other Neolithic monuments also lie in the vicinity, suggesting that this area had particular importance.
The Stenness Watch Stone stands outside the circle, next to the modern bridge leading to the Ring of Brodgar
Although the site today lacks the encircling ditch and bank, excavation has shown that this used to be a henge monument, possibly the oldest in the British Isles. The stones are thin slabs, approximately 300 mm (12 in) thick with sharply angled tops. Four, up to about 5 m (16 ft) high, were originally elements of a stone circle of up to 12 stones, laid out in an ellipse about 32 m (105 ft) diameter on a levelled platform of 44 m (144 ft) diameter surrounded by a ditch. The ditch is cut into rock by as much as 2 m (6.6 ft) and is 7 m (23 ft) wide, surrounded by an earth bank, with a single entrance causeway on the north side. The entrance faces towards the Neolithic Barnhouse Settlement which has been found adjacent to the Loch of Harray. The Watch Stone stands outside the circle to the north-west and is 5.6 m (18 ft) high. Once there were at least two stones there, as in the 1930s the stump of a second stone was found. Other smaller stones include a square stone setting in the centre of the circle platform where cremated bone, charcoal and pottery were found. This is referred to as a "hearth", similar to the one found at Barnhouse. Animal bones were found in the ditch. The pottery links the monument to Skara Brae and Maeshowe. Based on radiocarbon dating, it is thought that work on the site had begun by 3100 BC
Talkin Tarn is a glacial lake and country park near Brampton, Cumbria, England. The lake is a kettle hole lake, formed 10,000 years ago by mass glacial action.
The name is of Brittonic origin. The Brittonic dialect known as Cumbric was formerly spoken in the area. The first element, tal, means "brow" or "end" in Brittonic and modern Welsh, Cornish, and Breton. The second element is unclear. It may come from the Brittonic word which appears in Welsh and Old Cornish as can ("white") and Breton as kann ("bland, brilliant"). Talkin may be a hill-name meaning "white brow".
'Tarn' is derived from Old Norse 'tjǫrn' and then Middle English 'terne' meaning 'small mountain pool' or 'small lake'.
Talkin Tarn Country Park is owned and maintained by Carlisle City Council. It is home to the Boat House Tea Rooms, Brampton Sailing Club, and Talkin Tarn Amateur Rowing Club. The profits from the Tea Rooms and the pay and display car parking are reinvested in the up keep and improvement of the site.
Rowing is an activity at Talkin Tarn. The rowing club, Talkin Tarn Amateur Rowing Club, celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2009. Rowing races were first held on Talkin Tarn in the 1850s, and the Rowing Club was formed in 1859 by local townsfolk, several descendants of whom still live in the area. It is the oldest rowing club in the North of England, with the exception of Tyne Rowing Club, and is the 14th oldest non-university club in the country. Talkin Tarn Annual Regatta has grown considerably in recent years from a total entry of 20 in 1946 and 97 in 1988 to what it is today – very successful and one of the largest one-day regattas outside of London with total entries now in excess of 400.
On 9th November 1983 an Aerospatiale Gazelle Helicopter (reg G-SFTB) crashed into the tarn during a low level training flight from Carlisle Airport. The single occupant escaped the crash but the helicopter, once raised from the bottom, was damaged beyond repair.
Research on climate change carried out at Talkin Tarn was published in 2004.
Old buckles, stone axes, and urns have been found in the area.

Montescaglioso (Mònde in dialect Montese, formerly Bishop Caveosus or Mons Scabiosus) is an important historic and cultural known as the city of monasteries for the presence of four monastic ensembles, among which stands out the abbey of San Michele Arcangelo.
The first settlements in the territory of Montescaglioso date back to the VII century B.C. the entire area, closely linked to the city magnogreca Metaponto (founded by Greek settlers to half of the VII century B.C. in the vicinity of the mouth of the Bradano river), lives of intense exchanges and contacts with the Greek centers of the Ionic coast. With the decadence of Metaponto in roman times and the progressive silting up of the port of the Greek city, Montescaglioso assumed an increasingly important role in the surrounding territory. It is likely that part of the population of Metaponto, forced to abandon the city and to disperse in the neighboring towns after siding with Hannibal in 207 BC, during the second Punic war, is transferred at Montescaglioso. The Roman phase of the city belongs a mosaic that attests to the presence in Montescaglioso a republican judiciary and a large public building. A telamone in tuff coming from another public palace of Montescaglioso is conserved in the Museo nazionale della Magna Grecia di Reggio Calabria.

The University of Modena, founded in 1175 and expanded by Francesco II d'Este in 1686, focuses on economics, medicine and law, and is the second oldest athenaeum in Italy. Italian military officers are trained at the Military Academy of Modena, and partly housed in the Baroque Ducal Palace. The Biblioteca Estense houses historical volumes and 3,000 manuscripts. The Cathedral of Modena, the Torre della Ghirlandina and Piazza Grande are a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.
Modena is also known in culinary circles for its production of balsamic vinegar.
Famous Modenesi include Mary of Modena, the Queen consort of England and Scotland; operatic tenor Luciano Pavarotti and soprano Mirella Freni, born in Modena itself; Enzo Ferrari, eponymous founder of the Ferrari motor company; Catholic priest Gabriele Amorth; chef Massimo Bottura; comics artist Franco Bonvicini; the band Modena City Ramblers and singer-songwriter Francesco Guccini, who lived here for several decades.
The Pittsburgh English dialect, commonly called Pittsburghese, was influenced by Scots-Irish, Welsh, German, Central European, and Eastern European immigrants.[citation needed] Locals who speak the dialect are sometimes referred to as "Yinzers" (from the local word "yinz" [var. yunz], a blended form of "you ones," similar to "y'all" and "you all" in the South). Common Pittsburghese terms are: slippy (slippery), redd up (clean up), jagger bush (thorn bush), and gum bands (rubber bands). The dialect is also notable for dropping the verb "to be." In Pittsburghese one would say "the car needs washed" instead of "needs to be washed," "needs washing," or "needs a wash." The dialect has some tonal similarities to other nearby regional dialects of Erie and Baltimore, but is noted for its somewhat staccato rhythms. The staccato qualities of the dialect are thought to originate either from Welsh or other European languages. The many local peculiarities have prompted The New York Times to describe Pittsburgh as, "the Galapagos Islands of American dialect." The lexicon itself contains notable loans from Polish and other European languages; examples include babushka, pierogi, and halušky.
