The Nation for themselves. This is how the National Theatre was build with money from all the little people in Prague and Czech Republic. No matter how small donation; it was built brick by brick. I have the feeling that the National theatre will survive the pandemic, but the rich theatre culture of small theatres may have to be rebuild brick by brick. Hope theatres and concert halls will be soon full again.

Mo Mitchell violin is in the regular line-up with the Doghouse. Sunday night is a party time in Cameron House. He is mostly playing in Cameron with Doghouse or at Drom Taberna with Viper Cloud in the style of Stephan Grappelli/ Django Reinhardt. He also plays a variety of music from Jazz to Folk to Hip-hop, Bluegrass, Hungarian, Celtic and Indian Classical. He does some teaching, as with club performances the paycheck is mostly just a voluntary tip-jar donation.
Here he is with band leader Matt Coldwell, while Dave Clark (Rheostatics, Tragically Hip) took the seat behind drum kit for few tunes. Mo is modest and kind of shy; I have always hard time to get a good photo of him, as he is not seeking limelight.

A shrine to wabi-sabi, transience & imperfection… former Los Alamos National Laboratory scientist, Johnnie Meier has been collecting road culture artifacts since 1987; in 2002 he retired & created the Museum. There is wabi-sabi beauty in the thoughtful organic arrangement of the road culture artifacts and in the fond remembrance of things that once populated our early memories.
On Highway 68, between Santa Fe & Taos, along a beautiful stretch of the Rio Grande River, the Classical Gas Museum is wonderful. Johnnie is an artistic, kind, & friendly soul. There is no admission fee instead donations for the Dixon Animal Protection Society are encouraged.

"Located creekside near Old Baldy Lighthouse, the picturesque Village Chapel of Bald Head Island first opened on Easter Sunday of 1987. Nondenominational services are conducted by visiting clergy year-round each Sunday at 8:30 a.m., and from Memorial Day through Labor Day an additional service is held at 10 a.m. The Chapel began with an initial gift of land from the Mitchell Family, developers of Bald Head Island, and is now funded through community donations. An endowment fund has been established for memorial donations, and arrangements can be made for special services, including weddings."

A bit of fun. Staff from Fort Erie Race Track after donating a trailer full of food to C.O.P.E., the local food bank.
The Food was collected at the annual 'Circle the Course for Cancer & C.O.P.E.' event.
An ever-so-friendly-and-smily monk taking donations at the Phnom Krom temple, part of the Angkor complex but South of Siem Reap, close to the Chong Kneas village.
As my 7-day Angkor visitor pass had ran out the day b4, I was denied access up the hill, where the ruined temple is situated. Since I'd travelled this far, I cycled to the other side of the hill and climbed it from the West side, and made it anyway. Steep and ever so hot in the midday sun, it was well worth it!
Was asked to donate images to the new project below !!!!
4 large prints are being done to make Port Talbot look Stunning !!!! no easy project !!!!

There's something for everyone all year round at this delightful coastal reserve. In the spring you can see brown hares boxing in the fields, while in the early summer you'll spot nesting birds like avocets and lapwings. During the winter months the skies fill with visiting waterfowl such as pink-footed geese and wigeons, not to mention birds of prey that can set flocks wheeling over the marshes.
There are two hides, a viewing platform and three viewing screens. If you're new to birdwatching, why not come on one of our special event days?
Opening times
8.30 am to 5 pm every day.
Entrance charges
Free, but donations to help us continue our work here are welcome.
If you are new to birdwatching...
Extensive events programme and ABB events take place - all aimed at beginners. Birds all-year and plenty of them.
Information for dog owners
Some access for dogs - please contact reserve for details
Star species
Our star species are some of the most interesting birds you may see on your visit to the reserve.
Avocet
Watch elegant avocets 'scooping up' microscopic, aquatic life in their amazing, sickle-shaped beaks. They nest in mini colonies on the islands.
Black-tailed godwit
Flocks of black-tailed godwits can be seen on in spring - when they rest and feed here before heading north to Iceland to breed - they are resplendent in their 'tomato soup-red' breeding attire. On their return in autumn, you can pick out the scaly-backed juvenile birds if you look closely. Some birds also spend summer here.
Lapwing
Watch the nesting lapwings here chasing predators that may come too close to their nests or show too much of an interest in their chicks. The protective parents regularly give chase to crows and do not stop their 'mobbing' attacks until the danger has passed.
Pink-footed goose
Many pink-footed geese assemble here from late September through to March. They roost on the mudflats and fly inland at dawn to feed in nearby fields.
Wigeon
During winter, flocks of wigeons are a daily sight, with several thousand often on the reserve. Wintering birds arrive from early September and numbers build up to a peak, usually in January.
Seasonal highlights
Each season brings a different experience at our nature reserves. In spring, the air is filled with birdsong as they compete to establish territories and attract a mate. In summer, look out for young birds making their first venture into the outside world. Autumn brings large movements of migrating birds - some heading south to a warmer climate, others seeking refuge in the UK from the cold Arctic winter. In winter, look out for large flocks of birds gathering to feed, or flying at dusk to form large roosts to keep warm.
Spring
Lapwings tumble in excitable displays over the nesting areas. Early morning is the best time to see the hares 'boxing'. Watch out for the first wheatears and swallows to arrive from Africa. The flood-waters are retreating, leaving muddy edges - look out for migrating waders like common sandpipers and ruffs. There are still large numbers of wigeons, teals, black-tailed godwits and other water birds biding their time or passing through on their way north.
Summer
Redshanks and avocets scold you from a distance as they watch over their chicks. The grass is peppered with the colours of wildflowers. Wall brown and common blue butterflies are found along the paths on warm, sunny days. Grey herons stalk the ditches. Summering black-tailed godwits can be found in the wetter spots.
Autumn
A dashing falcon at this time of year could be a merlin just in from Iceland. Look for skeins of pink-footed geese flying to and from their roost out on the mudflats at dusk and dawn. Migrant hawker dragonflies patrol the ditches on sunny days. Wigeon and teal numbers begin to build up.
Winter
You will be sure to see huge flocks of wigeons, teals, lapwings and golden plovers wheeling and turning over the marshes. Look out for the bird of prey that has caused the panic. It could be a kestrel, merlin, peregrine or sparrowhawk or perhaps one of the voracious great black-backed gulls that patrol these marshes.

Marshside protects 94 ha of coastal grassland and pools on the shores of the Ribble estuary.
The RSPB is managing the reserve to protect important populations of breeding waders and wintering wildfowl, plus other wildlife such as brown hares and wintering birds of prey. We are also developing the reserve as a popular visitor attraction.
Top targets
We are working towards five-year mean targets for key breeding birds. These include 80 pairs of lapwings, 10 pairs of avocets and 30 pairs of redshanks. We will also ensure that black-tailed godwits remain present through the breeding season and that breeding wildfowl numbers are stable.
Meanwhile, our October-March targets for non-breeding birds include at least 900 black-tailed godwits, 300 pink-footed geese, 6,000 wigeons, 1,500 teals, 100 shovelers and 750 golden plovers.
Grassland gains
We are improving our grassland for breeding waders, using summer grazing with cattle and topping, where necessary, to create suitable sward heights. We will retain a tussocky structure, and will ensure that up to 33 ha of grassland holds permanent surface water in winter. We will also increase our small area of ungrazed grassland and preserve the extent of our ‘dune-slack’ grassland, which is rich in wildlife.
Water and swamp
We will ensure that all permanent water bodies are at least 10 cm deep from the start of June. We will also increase the extent of open water in pools and ditches, by rotationally cleaning and re-profiling ditches. We will dig new ditches and create small pools to break up waterless ‘plain’ areas, and will excavate to create 1 ha of open water and an additional 1 ha of swamp.
Keeping tabs
Constant monitoring helps us to manage the site and contribute to research projects elsewhere. We focus on breeding waders, lapwing nest productivity and wintering wildfowl, as well as water voles, natterjack toads and butterflies. We also monitor sward height, cattle numbers, the levels and quality of water, and the extent and quality of grassland.
People
We are continuing to improve visitor facilities, making our hides, nature trails and footpaths accessible to all. We also run a varied events programme and will keep developing our volunteer scheme.

Wallington is a country house and gardens located about 12 miles (19 km) west of Morpeth, Northumberland, England, near the village of Cambo. It has been owned by the National Trust since 1942, after it was donated complete with the estate and farms by Sir Charles Philips Trevelyan, the first donation of its kind. It is a Grade I listed building.
The estate was owned by the Fenwick family from 1475 until their financial problems caused them to sell their properties to the Blacketts. The hall house was rebuilt in 1688 around the ancient Pele Tower house for Sir William Blackett and was later substantially rebuilt again, in Palladian style, for Sir Walter Blackett by architect Daniel Garret, before passing to the Trevelyan family in 1777. Charles Philips Trevelyan inherited the property from his father George Otto Trevelyan in 1928.
Set in 100 acres (40 ha) of rolling parkland, the estate includes a wooded dene (valley), ornamental lakes, lawns, and a recently refurbished walled garden.
Irlanda - Lago Pollacapall - Abadia Kylemore
ENGLISH:
Kylemore Abbey is a Benedictine monastery founded in 1920 on the grounds of Kylemore Castle, in Connemara, County Galway, Ireland. The abbey was founded for Benedictine Nuns who fled Belgium in World War I.
Kylemore Castle was built as a private home for the family of Mitchell Henry, a wealthy doctor from London whose family was involved in textile manufacturing in Manchester, England. He moved to Ireland when he and his wife Margaret purchased the land around the Abbey. He became a politician, becoming an MP for County Galway from 1871 to 1885. The castle was designed by James Franklin Fuller, aided by Ussher Roberts. The construction of the castle began in 1867, and took the total of one hundred men and four years to complete. The castle covered approximately 40,000 square feet (3,700 m2) and had over seventy rooms with a principal wall that was two to three feet thick. The facade measures 142 feet (43 m) in width and is made of granite brought from Dalkey by sea to Letterfrack and from limestone brought from Ballinasloe. There were 33 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 4 sitting rooms, a ballroom, billiard room, library, study, school room, smoking room, gun room and various offices and domestic staff residences for the butler, cook, housekeeper and other servants. Other buildings include a Gothic cathedral and family mausoleum containing the bodies of Margaret Henry, Mitchell Henry and a great grand-nephew.
The Abbey remained in Henry's estate after he returned to England. The castle was sold to the Duke and Duchess of Manchester in 1909, who resided there for several years before being forced to sell the house and grounds because of gambling debts. In 1920, the Irish Benedictine Nuns purchased the Abbey castle and lands after they were forced to flee Ypres, Belgium during World War I. The nuns, who had been based in Ypres for several hundred years, had been bombed out of their Abbey during World War I. The nuns continued to offer education to Catholic girls, opening an international boarding school and establishing a day school for girls from the locality. The school acted as the main educator for most girls from Renvyle, Letterfrack and further afield for almost a century but it was forced to close in June 2010.
The Estate includes large walled Victorian Gardens. Since the 1970s these have been open for public tours and 'nature' walks. The Benedictine community has restored the Abbey's gardens and Cathedral with donations and local artisans in order to be a self-sustaining estate.

ESPAÑOL:
La Abadía de Kylemore (en inglés Kylemore Abbey y en irlandés Mainistir na Coille Móire) es un convento de monjas benedictinas fundado en 1920 sobre la base del castillo de Kylemore, en Connemara, condado de Galway, república de Irlanda. El nombre de Kylemore es originario de las palabras irlandesas Coill Mór, gran madera.
La Abadía de Kylemore (originalmente, Castillo de Kylemore o Kylemore Castle), fue construida entre 1863 y 1868 como hogar privado para la familia de Mitchell Henry, político y empresario de Mánchester, Inglaterra, que fue también parlamentario por el condado de Galway entre 1871 y 1885. Después de la muerte de su esposa Margaret en 1875, Mitchell no permaneció mucho tiempo en el castillo. Ambos están enterrados en un pequeño mausoleo cerca de la iglesia en la abadía.
Tras cambiar de manos en dos ocasiones más, el castillo se transformó finalmente en abadía cuando las monjas benedictinas huyeron de Ypres, Bélgica durante la Primera Guerra Mundial.
La abadía albergaba un internado internacional de mujeres que fue cerrado en el 2010. Son visitables los jardines, unas pocas salas de la abadía, la iglesia neogótica y el mausoleo familiar, además de las áreas destinadas a los turistas, como el restaurante o la tienda de recuerdos.
