Overview
South Walney forms the southern tip of a shingle island lying at the end of the Furness Peninsula. During the medieval period it was farmed by the monks of Furness Abbey, whilst during the 19th and 20th centuries salt, sand and gravel were extracted leaving large lagoons and some industrial remains.
What to see
Every spring, large numbers of lesser black backed and herring gulls still return and begin to set up nest territories. Other breeding birds include eider duck, greater black backed gull, shelduck, oystercatcher, mallard, moorhen and coot. Of the 250 bird species recorded, most are passage migrants on their way to or from breeding grounds. These include common species such as wheatear, redstart, willow warbler and gold crest, as well as more unusual species, which may have been blown off their normal migration route. In winter, large numbers of waders and wildfowl feed and roost around the nature reserve both on the gravel pools and the intertidal areas. Vegetated shingle being a highly unusual habitat, and yellow horned poppy, sea campion and biting stonecrop grow on the single beaches.
Small areas of dune grassland survive with pyramidal orchid, Portland spurge, restharrow and wild pansy. The old gravel workings have developed their own communities with striking plants such as viper's bugloss, henbane and alkanet. Saltmarsh occurs in Lighthouse Bay with species such as thrift, glasswort and sea purslane.
Recent History
South Walney has been leased from Holker Estates since 1963.

Prédica cristiana escrita | El reino de los cielos está, en realidad, sobre la tierra
…Un día, lo abrí y leí el siguiente pasaje: “Que Dios entre en el reposo quiere decir que ya no llevará a cabo Su obra de salvación de la humanidad. Que la humanidad entre en el reposo quiere decir que toda la humanidad va a vivir dentro de la luz de Dios y bajo Sus bendiciones; no habrá nada de la corrupción de Satanás ni tampoco ocurrirán cosas injustas. La humanidad vivirá normalmente sobre la tierra y vivirá bajo el cuidado de Dios” (‘Dios y el hombre entrarán juntos en el reposo’ en “La Palabra manifestada en carne”). Sentí un vuelco en el corazón cuando leí esto y pensé: “¿Acaso en el futuro el hombre vivirá sobre la tierra? ¿No prometió el Señor Jesús que en el futuro viviríamos en el cielo? ¿Por qué dice aquí que estaremos en la tierra? ¿Cómo podría ser esto posible? ¿Acaso estoy malinterpretando esto?”…

I've been busy with work these weeks! Providing proper education really takes three times the time, effort and energy with all the strict covid rules.
Felt good to paint my face though! Just wish I had someplace to go. 😉
Happy Thursday! ❤️

It's Ascension Day weekend in the Netherlands, and for me, that means a 4-day weekend. 😀 And I'm probably going to be sleeping most of the time! 😴
It's almost the end of the school year and I'm exhausted... and I can't wait for the summer holidays!
But you know what? Even though work has been hectic, I absolutely love teaching and I cannot imagine not being around students. ❤️
(and yes, those same students can be very annoying.. 😅)
As I watch my parents happily grow old in a world that's cruel and unfair, I'm just reminded to cherish each day because it's not guaranteed.. to be grateful that I'm healthy.. and to choose mental well-being over everything else. 🙏
Thanks for coming to my TED talk. Have a lovely weekend! 😘
Oh, and do you like my casual lingerie outfit? 😉
Let's what Flickr's new policy has to say about this one...
Devocional | Con tener la verdadera fe, no se tiene miedo de ninguna dificultad
Herman@s, ¿la epidemia que aún está extendiéndose ha causado muchas dificultades en su vida y en su trabajo? En un ambiente así, sabemos que es difícil y duro para usted, pero no se desanime ni llore, nunca está solo, porque Dios siempre está a su lado. Y mientras dependamos de la guía de la Palabra de Dios, podemos fortalecer nuestra fe en Él y encontrar maneras de superar estas dificultades.
Mira, Dios dice: “Cuando Moisés golpeó la roca y brotó de ella el agua conferida por Jehová, fue gracias a su fe. Cuando David tocó la lira para alabarme, a Mí, Jehová —con el corazón lleno de alegría— fue gracias a su fe. Cuando Job perdió su ganado que llenaba las montañas y enormes cantidades de riqueza y su cuerpo se cubrió de dolorosas llagas, fue debido a su fe. Cuando él pudo escuchar Mi voz, la voz de Jehová, y ver Mi gloria, la gloria de Jehová, fue gracias a su fe. Que Pedro haya podido seguir a Jesucristo, fue debido a su fe. Que pudiera ser clavado en la cruz por Mí y dar testimonio glorioso de Mí, también fue debido a su fe. Cuando Juan vio la imagen gloriosa del Hijo del hombre, fue debido a su fe. Cuando vio la visión de los últimos días, fue, aún más, a causa de su fe. La razón por la que las así llamadas ‘multitudes de las naciones gentiles’ han obtenido Mi revelación y han llegado a tener conocimiento de que Yo he regresado en la carne para llevar a cabo Mi obra entre los hombres, también es a causa de su fe. ¿Acaso todos los que son golpeados por Mis severas palabras —y que, sin embargo, encuentran en ellas consuelo y son salvados— no lo han hecho por causa de su fe?”.
“Sólo podrás ver a Dios desde el interior de tu fe. Cuando tengas fe, Dios te perfeccionará. Sin fe, Él no puede hacerlo. Dios te concederá cualquier cosa que esperes obtener. Si no tienes fe, Dios no puede perfeccionarte y serás incapaz de ver Sus acciones, y menos aún Su omnipotencia. Cuando tengas una fe con la que puedas ver Sus acciones en tu experiencia práctica, entonces Dios aparecerá ante ti, y te esclarecerá y te guiará desde dentro. Sin esa fe, Dios no podrá hacer esto. Si has perdido la esperanza en Dios, ¿cómo podrás experimentar Su obra? Por tanto, sólo cuando tengas fe y no albergues dudas hacia Dios, cuando tu fe en Él sea verdadera, haga lo que haga, Él te esclarecerá e iluminará en tus experiencias, y sólo entonces podrás ver Sus acciones. Todas estas cosas se consiguen por medio de la fe. La fe sólo llega mediante el refinamiento, y en ausencia de refinamiento, la fe no puede desarrollarse. ¿A qué se refiere la fe? La fe es la creencia genuina y el corazón sincero que los humanos deberían poseer cuando no pueden ver ni tocar algo, cuando la obra de Dios no está en línea con las nociones humanas, cuando está más allá del alcance humano. Esta es la fe de la que hablo”.

•The truth about Yosemite: www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Sexual-Harassment-Common-in...
It was a frosty morning along the Tuolumne River.
Photo taken with Nikon D600, Tokina 17-35 Pro FX F4 and Kenko Circular Polarizer. I took 9 images at one stop increments (RAW Format). To achieve this with the D600 I used auto-bracketing; it only takes 3 shot burst, so I set the 1st 3 at 3 stop increment, the 2nd 3 at 2 at stops, the 3rd 3 at 1 stop, to take a total of 9 images. I used a Nikon wireless shutter release to limit movement; I dropped it in the river that morning was lucky enough to snag it back out, shook it off and used it all day.
To achieve this dynamic range, color and effects: I use Lightroom 5.5 for workflow and final edit. I first used Photomatix Pro 4 to fuse all 9 images. Now using auto-bracketing I end up with 3 images with 0 stop adjustment because of the 3 shot burst. Photomatix will automatically adjust these to make all 9 images at whatever stop level you input, I set it for 1 stop increment. Once this is done I use Photmatix Fusion Preset to merge the 9 images together. It has many Presets, but this gives me the most natural effects. Once fused, I save in Tiff format to retain as much raw data as I can. I then use NIK Collection; Color Efex Pro 4. For this image I used its Pro Contrast adjustment; it improves the dynamic range and has one of the best Highlight and Shadow adjustments I’ve seen (even better than Lightroom’s). I do my final exposure, then tweak Clarity and Vibrance a bit in Lightroom 5.5 and save in jpg. My Logo (TI_in_Yosemite) is done in Gimp 2.8 and Layered onto the final image. TI_in_Yosemite stands for: Targeted Individual in Yosemite.
I took an oath to defend this Country and its Constitution. This Country has become not the one I once believed in. It has become a Country that Targets individuals, that go against the Statuesque of Corruption that’s imbedded in our Government, Corporations and Society. I will continue to serve this Country and expose those that threaten its moral fiber.

State Highway O
Madison County Missouri
pixels.com/featured/house-on-a-hill-larry-braun.html
One of my favorite activities is to ride around the back roads of our beautiful state just to see whats there. I have yet to be disappointed. Every curve in the road, every hill I top, there is a surprise waiting. The lettered roads in Missouri are my favorite. They are pretty well maintained, and seldom end up in at a dead end. Typically they follow stream beds or ridges. Most were built before we had a highway department, so the journey can be similar to a roller coaster. This photo was taken on highway O in Madison county, which runs from highway J to Highway 72. As you can see this one follows a ridge. Some of the views on this road are spectacular. Usually these roads have no shoulder so access to a particular scene can be difficult. In this particular case there was a gravel road running past the abandoned house sitting on top of this hill looking out over the Mark Twain National Forest. The row of sparsely branched trees on the left is a bonus. The character of the decaying house is plenty of reason to shoot this photo. Add the trees, the overview and the dramaticic sky, and I have the equivalent of a home run in my game of photography.
Χριστιανικός χορός «Το Σύμπαν και η Απεραντοσύνη Δοξάζουν τον Θεό»
I
Αι … τα τραγούδια είναι πολλά και οι χοροί όλο χάρη,
το σύμπαν και τα πέρατα της γης γίνονται κοχλάζουσα θάλασσα.
Αι … ο ουρανός είναι νέος και η γη είναι νέα.
Η απεραντοσύνη του σύμπαντος είναι γεμάτη αίνους. Φωνάζουμε και χοροπηδάμε από χαρά.
Βουνά σμίγουν με βουνά και τα νερά με νερά, οι καρδιές των αδελφών είναι ενωμένοι στην καρδιά.
Δοξάζουμε τον Θεό ασταμάτητα. Τα πλάσματα αγαπούν τον Θεό,
έρχονται χαρούμενα ενώπιον του θρόνου Του να Τον λατρέψουν μαζί.
Ο Θεός στη Σιών φανέρωσε στο σύμπαν την δικαιοσύνη και την αγιοσύνη Του.
Όλοι οι λαοί του Θεού ακτινοβολούν με χαρά, δοξάζουν τον Θεό ασταμάτητα.
Δοξάστε τον Θεό, δοξάστε τον Θεό!
Αλληλούια! Δοξάστε τον Θεό, δοξάστε τον Θεό!
II
Για να αγαπήσουμε τον Θεό, πρέπει να προσφέρουμε μια αληθινή καρδιά.
Ψάλλετε και χορέψετε για να δοξάσετε τον Παντοδύναμο Θεό.
Η φωνή που δοξάζει σχίζει τον ουρανό.
Ας προφτάσουμε μαζί, άντρες και γυναίκες, ηλικιωμένοι και νεαροί.
Εσύ πρόσφερε τραγούδια και εγώ προσφέρω χορούς, εσύ ψάλλε κι εγώ συνεργάζομαι.
Ντροπιασμένος είναι ο διάβολος – ο μεγάλος κόκκινος δράκοντας, δοξασμένο είναι το όνομα του παντοδύναμου αληθινού Θεού.
Όλοι έχουμε δει από το έργο Του την δίκαιη διάθεση του Θεού.
Ο Παντοδύναμος Θεός είναι ένας δίκαιος Θεός. Όλοι οι λαοί του Θεού έχουν δει την ένδοξη φυσιογνωμία Του.
Όλοι επιδιώκουμε να αγαπήσουμε και να ικανοποιήσουμε τον Θεό, πρόθυμοι να Του είμαστε πιστοί για πάντα.
Δοξάστε τον Θεό, δοξάστε τον Θεό!
Αλληλούια! Δοξάστε τον Θεό, δοξάστε τον Θεό!
Ελάτε! Ας δοξάσουμε τον Θεό!
Ελάτε! Ας δοξάσουμε τον Θεό!
Έρχομαι!
Τα βουνά αγαλλιάζουν και τα νερά γελούν,
όλα τα έθνη και όλοι οι λαοί γελούν χαρούμενα. Τι καινούργιο θέαμα!
Νέος ουρανός, νέα γη και νέα βασιλεία!
Χορεύουμε και τραγουδάμε νέα τραγούδια για τον Θεό, είμαστε τόσο ευτυχισμένοι!
Οι πιο όμορφοι ύμνοι ψάλλονται προς τον Θεό, οι χοροί με την μεγαλύτερη χάρη παρουσιάζονται στον Θεό.
Μια ειλικρινής καρδιά υψώνεται προς τον Θεό, μια αληθινή καρδιά προσφέρεται στον Θεό.
Όλοι οι λαοί του Θεού και όλα τα πράγματα θα Τον δοξάζουν για πάντα χωρίς ασταμάτητα. Άι!
Ω! Η Σιών είναι τόσο ένδοξη!
Ο τόπος κατοικίας του Θεού λάμπει με ακτίνες φωτός. Το μεγαλείο του λάμπει σε όλο το σύμπαν.
Ο Παντοδύναμος Θεός χαμογελά και κάθεται στον θρόνο του βλέποντας την νέα όψη ολόκληρου του σύμπαντος. Έι!

Σχετικά λόγια του Θεού:
«Αυτοί που θα τελειοποιηθούν από τον Θεό είναι αυτοί που θα λάβουν τις ευλογίες και την κληρονομιά Του. Αυτό σημαίνει πως αποδέχονται αυτό που έχει και είναι ο Θεός έτσι ώστε να γίνει αυτό που έχουν μέσα τους. Έχουν όλα τα λόγια του Θεού σφυρηλατημένα μέσα τους. Όποιο και να είναι το Είναι του Θεού, έχετε τη δυνατότητα να το αποδεχτείτε εξ ολοκλήρου ως έχει και με αυτόν τον τρόπο να βιώσετε την αλήθεια. Αυτό είναι το είδος του ανθρώπου που τελειοποιείται και αποκτάται από τον Θεό. Μόνο τέτοιο είδος ανθρώπου δικαιούται να κληρονομήσει αυτές τις ευλογίες που απονέμει ο Θεός: ...»

So I didn't plan to post so soon on Flickr again, but today is March the 14th, also known as Pi-day or π-Day.
As we all know, π is related to circles.. and a dot can be described as a circle. Hence, polka-dots are totally related to π!! Q.E.D.
Anyway, that's a very convoluted way of trying to tie this post to one of my favourite irrational (yes, I know π is also transcendental) numbers! 😉
Also, I finally got around to a new blog post and YouTube video, so if you have nothing to do on this Sciencey Sunday.. check them out! 😊
Have a great Sunday! ❤️

As you might imagine, this is an area very much in need of lighthouses to protect passing ships from dangerous sandbanks, as well as ships trying to enter the River Humber, going to Hull or Goole. There has even been a lightship positioned off Spurn Head.Although we don't have any trace of it now, the earliest reference to a lighthouse here was in 1427. Records show that William Reedbarrow (a hermit) had been granted 'dues' from passing ships, in order to complete a lighthouse here.Early lighthouses were built on the 'then' end of Spurn Point (thought to be about 2 miles north of the current end). There have been 2 lighthouses at Spurn Point throughout much of history:A 'High Light' on the land 'proper'A 'Low Light' out on the sandsThe Low Light seemed to require regular re-building, but a High Light survived until John Smeaton was commissioned to build 2 new lighthouses at Spurn Point, for Trinity House.'Smeaton's High Light'Built 1776Lasted until 1895 when the current Spurn 'High Light' was built, as the foundations of Smeaton's High Light were beginning to collapseThe tower of the High Light was 112ft highThe light was visible for 12 milesSmeaton's High Light lighthouse is not still standing, but you can still see the foundations and base, very close to the current High Light lighthouseThe 'High Light'This is the 'newer' lighthouse at Spurn, based on the land 'proper' (rather than down on the sands). The lighthouse is no longer operational, and is not open to the public. The lighthouse is well worth a visit though, as you get to see the earlier Low Light lighthouse too, and experience the beauty and wilderness of Spurn Head itself... - See more at: www.yorkshire-east-coast-unofficial-guide.com/spurn_head....
Facts and Figures About the Spurn High Light
Where?
Spurn Point, Kilnsea, E. Yorks
When?
Built 1895. Conical black and white brick tower, with a lantern on topTower: 128ft high
Light: 120ft above sea level and visible for 17 miles
History
The lighthouse was used until 1985, when it was de-commissioned.
The lighthouse is not operational, and is not open to the public. You can walk right up to it, though. Nearby you can see the Spurn Head Low Light lighthouse (see info below), and the base of one of the earlier lighthouses.
The Low LightInformation about Spurn Head 'Low Light' lighthouseAn enigmatic lighthouse... very picturesque...This is the disused lower lighthouse at Spurn. It is quite a sight to see - beached out on the lonely sands at Spurn... - See more at: www.yorkshire-east-coast-unofficial-guide.com/spurn_head....

October already.. it seems 2022 is on our doorstep and I haven't even fully processed 2020! 😮
I'm enjoying my autumn holiday now (one of the few perks I have as a teacher). And besides doing a lot of resting.. I have also been doing lots of editing of my photos and videos.
In August, I visited a castle in the south of the Netherlands. And because we had a very disappointing cold wet summer, I opted for a maxi dress.
Check out my new YouTube video and post on my blog.
It was quite magical walking around in that castle.. so beautiful!!
I know owning a castle like that is very expensive and not very practical.. but I'd love to dream. 😊

Had a fun day in Amsterdam on Sunday with Marleen .. cycling around on a rented bicycle, having drinks at various bars (including the Hilton Skylounge) and admiring Amsterdam in a different way. 😊
At the end of the day, it was getting really cold though.. and I wasn't really dressed for it. 😛 So we quickly went to a restaurant to have food.. and where I could take off the jacket for a pic of the dress. 😉
Next time, I need to film myself riding a bicycle wearing this outfit! 😛

Excerpt from www.visitourchina.com/macao/attraction/lou-lim-ieoc-garde...:
Chinese name: 盧廉若公園
Location: Estrada de Adolfo Loureiro, in northern Macau Peninsular, Macau.
Located in the middle of Macau Peninsular at the northern foot of Guia Hill, Lou Lim Ieoc Garden (in Portuguese: Jardim Lou Lim Ieoc) covers an area of 1.78 hectares with scenic landscapes. This elegant garden was modeled after Suzhou Lion Grove Garden, one of the four most famous classic gardens in Suzhou, being the only one with Suzhou classical garden style in Macau. Lou Lim Ieoc Garden was once named "Entertainment Garden" and hailed as one of three famous gardens of Macau many years ago. And in 1992, it was rated as one of Macau’s eights sights. Lou Lim Ieoc Garden is a great place for sightseeing as it has quaint moon gate, shady walkways, grotesque rocks of man-made hills, bamboo groves, towering banyan tress, winding corridors, elegant pavilions, spattering waterfalls, ponds with green lotus, etc. The waterside pavilion is the centerpiece of Lou Lim leoc Garden. Despite it is a traditional Chinese architecture, some western architectural elements are embedded in, such as the external wall painted in light yellow, the favorite color of Portuguese, gothic porticoes, white European-style carvings at the top of porticoes. The barrier close to the pond is painted red, China’s favorite color. This building reflects the fusion of oriental and western cultures.
It was initially a vegetable plot and was purchased by a Macau Turpan, whose son Lou Lim leoc spent a large sum of money to convert it into a private garden. Lou Lim Ieoc Garden was the largest private garden in Macau. The construction started 1904 and took 21 years to finish. The garden was changed hand due to the Lu family’s bankruptcy, until it was purchased by Macau government in 1970s. After renovation it was opened to the public in 1974. At the turn of 21st century, Lou Lim Ieoc Garden was famed as the show place of Cantonese opera. Sun Yat-sen, the forerunner of Chinese democratic revolution, once stayed in this garden to meet celebrities of China, Macau and Portugal, and revolutionists.
This view of southern California was taken by the Apollo 7 crew during their 18th revolution of the Earth, on Oct. 12, 1968. Photographed from an altitude of 124 nautical miles, the coast of California can be seen from Point Mugu southward to Oceanside. Santa Catalina can be seen below the off shore clouds. Details of the Los Angeles area are obscured by pollution which extends from Banning westward for 100 miles to beyond Malibu. In the upper portion of the photograph can be seen (left to right) the San Joaquin Valley beyond Bakersfield, the Techachapi Mountains, the Sierra Nevada, Owens Valley, Death Valley and the Mojave Desert.
Apollo 7, which launched on Oct. 11, 1968, and was nicknamed "The Walt, Wally and Donn Show," was the first crewed Apollo mission to launch. The mission demonstrated the capabilities of the Command and Service Module, mission support facilities' performance during a crewed mission and Apollo rendezvous capability, as well as the first live TV broadcasts from space.

Got around to making a new video and post on my blog. Check it out for seeing me twirling around like a crazy person. 😛
And yeah, it's back to work for me. I love my job.. but a couple of extra weeks of holiday wouldn't hurt at all! 😃
I have been using spare time the last two days to search the web as we plan a holiday in Britain this October. We knew we wanted to go back to Dun Ringhyll in Sedbergh and was lucky enough to found it vacant, but the first days took some time to plan and to find a place to stay. We ended up with a cottage in Blair Atholl in Perthshire, Scotland www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/blairatholl/blairatholl/in...
Inspired by this I go back to last September and a short trip my wife and I had to Scotland to celebrate my 40 years and our 20 years wedding anniversary. We stayed in Callander, and one of the things we remember the most from the trip was a short hill walk to the Callander Crags. This was an advice we got from Eileen www.flickr.com/photos/23088560@N00 and it was a splendid walk before dinner. The views of the landscape were many places very pretty, and when we also saw a rainbow was it a double joy: the beauty of it and the fact that the rain was there and not over us.

Excerpt from www.visitourchina.com/macao/attraction/lou-lim-ieoc-garde...:
Chinese name: 盧廉若公園
Location: Estrada de Adolfo Loureiro, in northern Macau Peninsular, Macau.
Located in the middle of Macau Peninsular at the northern foot of Guia Hill, Lou Lim Ieoc Garden (in Portuguese: Jardim Lou Lim Ieoc) covers an area of 1.78 hectares with scenic landscapes. This elegant garden was modeled after Suzhou Lion Grove Garden, one of the four most famous classic gardens in Suzhou, being the only one with Suzhou classical garden style in Macau. Lou Lim Ieoc Garden was once named "Entertainment Garden" and hailed as one of three famous gardens of Macau many years ago. And in 1992, it was rated as one of Macau’s eights sights. Lou Lim Ieoc Garden is a great place for sightseeing as it has quaint moon gate, shady walkways, grotesque rocks of man-made hills, bamboo groves, towering banyan tress, winding corridors, elegant pavilions, spattering waterfalls, ponds with green lotus, etc. The waterside pavilion is the centerpiece of Lou Lim leoc Garden. Despite it is a traditional Chinese architecture, some western architectural elements are embedded in, such as the external wall painted in light yellow, the favorite color of Portuguese, gothic porticoes, white European-style carvings at the top of porticoes. The barrier close to the pond is painted red, China’s favorite color. This building reflects the fusion of oriental and western cultures.
It was initially a vegetable plot and was purchased by a Macau Turpan, whose son Lou Lim leoc spent a large sum of money to convert it into a private garden. Lou Lim Ieoc Garden was the largest private garden in Macau. The construction started 1904 and took 21 years to finish. The garden was changed hand due to the Lu family’s bankruptcy, until it was purchased by Macau government in 1970s. After renovation it was opened to the public in 1974. At the turn of 21st century, Lou Lim Ieoc Garden was famed as the show place of Cantonese opera. Sun Yat-sen, the forerunner of Chinese democratic revolution, once stayed in this garden to meet celebrities of China, Macau and Portugal, and revolutionists.
