Make a Difference

The difference between a "Burg" and a "Schloss" (castle) is that a Burg is more like a fortress, built for protection from the enemies, and a Schloss was for the nobility to reside in, and very lavishly decorated.
Over time, some of the Burgs were also turned into castles.
Burg Eltz is somewhat unusual, in that it's been in the same family that had it built over 850 years ago, and Count and Countess Eltz still live there today.

Mille merci chers amis, pour votre grand soutien et gentillesse depuis longtemps, c'est un plaisir et un honneur pour moi,
Au delà de nos différences nous sommes tous des habitants de la Terre ce weekend arrive le temps de Noël , le temps de la Paix.
N'oublions pas cependant ceux qui n'ont rien, sont seuls où opprimés, alors si tout n'est pas parfait pour le réveillon ou les cadeaux peu importe, ayons tous une pensées pour ces personnes victimes des Guerres ou démunies. Paix sur le Monde !

Thousand thanks you dear friends, for your great support and kindness for a long time, it is a pleasure and an honor for me,
Beyond our differences we are all inhabitants of the Earth this weekend is Christmas time, the time of Peace.
Let's not forget, however, those who have nothing, are alone or oppressed, so if everything isn't perfect for Christmas Eve or the gifts, let's all have a thought for these people who are victims of wars or destitute. Peace on the World !

Thursday October 6th - Clarity
It seems at first glance that the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle are sitting on the headland of Cullernose Point. Not so! They are in fact a further 3km distant.
Very different visibility from the vista the day before looking towards Dunstanburgh from a much closer spot on the other (north) side of Cullernose Point!
Die Zahnradbahn überwindet einen Höhenunterschied von 1217,27 Metern. Neben der Bayerischen Zugspitzbahn, der Drachenfelsbahn und der Zahnradbahn Stuttgart ist die Wendelsteinbahn eine von nur noch vier betriebenen Zahnradbahnen in Deutschland. Sie steht unter Denkmalschutz. Für mehr Details bitte reinzoomen...
The cog railway overcomes a difference in altitude of 1217.27 meters. Besides the Bavarian Zugspitze Railway, the Drachenfelsbahn and the rack railway Stuttgart Wendelsteinbahn is one of only four operated rack railways in Germany. She is a listed monument. Please zoom in for more details...
The Andes run in three ridges down through Peru. This town lay in the valley after the first pass from the coast. The difference in climate and vegetation within just a few hours, passing from desert to lush green, was amazing...

The eclectus parrot (Eclectus roratus) is a parrot native to the Solomon Islands, Sumba, New Guinea and nearby islands, northeastern Australia, and the Maluku Islands (Moluccas).
There is a huge difference in appearance between the male and the female. The male has a mostly bright green plumage and the female a mostly bright red and purple/blue plumage.
It was first thought that they were of two distinct species.

It has been a long day for me yesterday.
It's not that easy to get help in a situation of big pain if you have to go a longer way for it (for me 65 km by car).
But the feeling after treatment, when you feel the difference directly...
And I had a beautiful view on the mountains too. 😊
sorry everyone for re-posting the photo but I just happen to like the monochrome edit much better than the earlier color version (which will be removed presently)
The Zagreb Funicular connects the city's Lower Town with the historic Upper Town. Its 66-metre (217 ft) track makes it one of the shortest public-transport funiculars in the world. The funicular was built in 1890 and has been in operation since April 23, 1893. Initially it had steam engines, which were substituted with electrical engines in 1934.
The funicular runs on a 1,200 mm (3 ft 11 1⁄4 in) gauge track, track length is only 66 m (217 ft), but height difference is 30.5 m (100 ft) and inclination 52%. This makes it one of the shortest, but also one of the steepest funiculars in the world. It runs at a speed of 1.5 m/s (4.9 ft/s), needing 55 seconds to cross the distance. (from Wikipedia)
The Highland is a Scottish breed of rustic cattle. It originated in the Scottish Highlands and the Outer Hebrides islands of Scotland and has long horns and a long shaggy coat. It is a hardy breed, bred to withstand the intemperate conditions in the region.
Highland cattle descend from the Hamitic Longhorn, which were brought to Britain by Neolithic farmers in the second millennium BC, as the cattle migrated northwards through Africa and Europe. Highland cattle were historically of great importance to the economy, with the cattle being raised for meat primarily and sold in England.
The 1885 herd book describes two distinct types of Highland cattle. One was the West Highland, or Kyloe, originating and living mostly in the Outer Hebrides, which had harsher conditions. These cattle tended to be smaller, to have black coats and, due to their more rugged environment, to have long hair. These cattle were named due to the practice of relocating them. The kyles are narrow straits of water, and the cattle were driven across them to get to market.
The other type was the mainland; these tended to be larger because their pastures provided richer nutrients. They came in a range of colours, most frequently dun or red. These types have now been crossbred so that there is no distinct difference.
Since the early 20th century, breeding stock has been exported to many parts of the world, especially Australia and North America.
It is estimated that there are now around 15,000 Highland cattle in the United Kingdom.
Symmetry is what we see at a glance; based on the fact that there is no reason for any difference...

I'm sure everyone has had that sort of a day....just feeling a bit obstinate. Apparently insects exhibit those feelings, too.

Finally! A sunny, winter day with lovely fresh snow. We received about a foot of snow last night and so we headed out to get some photos before the wind knocked all the snow off. The temperature was -13C, but with the wind it was more like -25C. A bit crisp, but the sun made it all good.
Driving through the snow, the car smoothed and compacted the snow between the wheel ruts, but we had no problems. Snow tires and AWD make a big difference.

Im Spätherbst fuhr ich bereits schon einmal diesen Weg durch Thüringen. Es war damals ein trüber Morgen. Heute war ich kurz vor dem Sonnenuntergang unterwegs...
Überwältigt vom Unterschied, den lediglich ein paar Sonnenstrahlen und ein imposanter Himmel machen können, muss ich euch hier noch mal beide Bilder zeigen!
My friend, Mario Scattoloni, asked me to upload 10 works of mine with the goal of promoting positivity, passion, and attention to our love of art on Facebook for 10 days and this is my eighth creation.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️

All is occupied, but feel free to come and visit the public part :)
"Luanes World - Live the Dream", is the newest addition to the Luanes World sims. But as a difference to "Luanes World" @Slice of Heaven and "Luanes Magical World" @ Morning Glow, who are public sims, "Luanes World - Live the Dream" @ Tabara is a residential sim.
The rentals consist of 7 different houses, all with water view.
The rest of the sim is free for all to use, and enjoy.
Note this sim is moderate, so keep everything naughty inside of your house:)
Please respect the privacy of the other tenants - do not contact anybody else, when they are in the privacy of their own home. If you meet them in the public areas, you can of course say hi :)
Price:
Each rental, no matter which house you choose, is 799/week, with a 2 week minimum pay the first time.
After the first payment you can pay between 1-4 weeks at a time.
Prims:
You get 250 prims to decorate the house, and the nearest surrounding with. Please keep within the prim limit, as we all have to share the prims available.
If you need additional prims, you can buy extra prims - in units of 25 prims for 75 linden/week. Write me a notecard if you want your prim limit changed.
Privacy:
Each rental has it's own security orb, and the parcel setting is set to private, so you will be invisible to people from outside the parcel.
You can add people to the security orb, once I have set it up for you.
Music and parcel name and description:
If you want the parcel to have a specific name and/or description, write it in a notecard, and I will add that for you.
Also if you would like a specific music stream, you can put that in a notecard as well, and I will change that for you.
Luanes Residential World Group:
"Luanes World - Live the Dream" @ Tabara has its own group where only tenants will be able to join (as well as subtenants). Only members of this group will be able to rezz on the sim, but the public parts are open for everybody.
Upon renting a house, send me a notecard, and I will invite you to the group, so you can start decorating your new home. Any subtenants you need adding, you put in the notecard as well. Note that this is only needed, if they need to be able to rezz as well.
If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact me. If I am not online, please send a notecard, as my IM's get capped.
Sincerely LuaneMeo.
I dont usually do birds in flight, but as ive been not able to spend much money during lockdown.. Ive upgraded my Canon 7Dmk1 to a 7Dmk2 and the difference is huge! Im over the moon!
