Two weeks and 1 day and we will be on our way to the UK. After all the problems we have had with Singapore Airlines and not feeling 100% healthwise I am finally beginning to get excited about being on our way.
This photo was taken at Birds of Prey Centre in Huby, Yorkshire and as we are staying in Skipton for a week we will certainly will be visiting again.
We saw so many beautiful raptors during our visit to the Bird of Prey Centre in Huby, Yorkshire in 2019.
We will be visiting the UK again in September/October this year and as we are staying in Skipton again, I am sure we will visit this wonderful place again.
I am not sure of the name of this bird, but maybe someone will be able to let me know.
How Hill Tower, or the Chapel of St Michael de Monte, is near Studley Royal (Fountains Abbey), North Yorkshire
The 360 view from the hill is amazing and Fountain Abbey tower, St. Ann's Church in Studley Park can be seen along with a distance view of Ripon Cathedral towering over the city.
The tower was was constructed circa 1200 and rebuilt by Abbot Huby circa 1495-1526 but fell into ruins until John Aislabie incorporated it into his garden scheme at Studley.
This is Shadow, a Golden Eagle who is the star of the show at the Birds of Prey Centre at Huby in Yorkshire. We have visited this place 2 times now and Peter had the privilege of holding Shadow on both occasions.

I have a theory: Every lonely tree in the countryside is a picture of the dead man or woman whom we loved. This tree is my Aunt Sylvia, who died at age 54.
Mám takovou teorii. Osamocené stromy v krajině mě vždy připadají jako obrazy někoho blízkého, kterého jsme ztratili. Toto je teta Sylva. Sama neměla co do huby, ale neustále jsem od ní dostával dary. Ten první byl kniha Julese Vernea Hvězda Jihu. Zemřela v 54 letech na rakovinu. Znám zasraný zkurvence, co se dožijou devadesáti. Proč?

I haven't been on Flickr much lately. Since coming home from the UK I haven't been feeling 100%. Peter had a cold which he shared with me and I have started new medication for my Psoriatic Arthritis. I have no energy to do anything - not sure if it is the cold or the new medication. I haven't been able to sew my little critters and even sitting on the computer is an effort. Hopefully I will be back to normal soon.
Today we visited the Birds of Prey Centre in Huby, near York for the second time - amazing place to spend some time - highly recommended. This is a Snowy Owl I think - if not, maybe someone can give me the correct ID.
Tuesday we drove 1.5 hours to visit another birds of prey centre at Kirkby Wiske as Peter wanted to visit a place nearby. When we finally arrived, I was refused entry as I had my Canon 28-300 L series lens with me and they don't allow zoom lenses any more due to a few photographers interfering with the birds. I think it is discrimination to lump all photographers in the same basket, just because of a few idiots.

This shot was taken from the site of one of the guesthouses at Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire, England. What an awe-inspiring view any guest would have had when these buildings were in their heyday! The Nave of the Abbey Church and Huby's Tower are the main features beyond the green with the lower remains of the Cellarium in the centre of the shot.
A grand day out at York Bird of Prey Centre, Huby Hall.
European Eagle Owl - I took this photo whilst I was holding the bird.
Thanks in advance for any comments or favourites you may wish to make.
Fountains abbey was founded in 1132 by 13 Benedictine monks from St Mary’s in York. They'd grown fed up of the extravagant and rowdy way that the monks lived in York and so they escaped seeking to live a devout and simple lifestyle elsewhere. This was how they came to Fountains.
By the time three years had passed the monks had become settled into their new way of life and had been admitted to the austere Cistercian Order and with that came an important development – the introduction of the Cistercian system of lay brothers.
The lay brothers (what we would now call labourer) relieved the monks from routine jobs, giving them more time to dedicate to God rather than farming the land to get by. It was because of the help of the lay brothers that Fountains became so wealthy through wool production, lead mining, cattle rearing, horse breeding and stone quarrying.
However it wasn’t all plain sailing. Bad harvests hit the monks hard and they also had to deal with raids from the Scots throughout the 14th-century, which led to economic collapse. This was only made worse by the Black Death which struck the country in 1348.
Despite its financial problems, the Abbey remained important. The abbacy of Marmaduke Huby (1495 - 1526) marked a period of revival and the great tower built by Huby symbolises his hope for the Abbey’s future.
The Dissolution:
The Abbey was abruptly closed down in 1539 in the Dissolution of the Monasteries ordered by Henry VIII, and the abbot, prior and monks were sent away with pensions.
Fountains Abbey today:
The estate was sold by the Crown to a merchant, Sir Richard Gresham. It remained in private hands until the 1960s, including William and John Aislabie who designed Studley Royal water garden of which the abbey became an integral part of.
The National Trust bought the estate from the West Riding County Council in 1983.
Another photo from our visit to the York Birds of Prey Centre in Huby, Yorkshire. It is a wonderful place to visit.
Boobuck Owl - York Bird of Prey Centre (Burn Hall, Huby).
I soon realised that the only way I was going to get a shot of this Owl flying towards me was to switch to manual focus.
Unfortunately I've been unable to find out much information regarding this Owl and I should have been listening during the flying display! With a name like 'Boobuck' my guess would be South African origin.
Thanks in advance for any comments or favourites you may wish to make.
A beautiful Barn Owl that we saw at the Birds of Prey Centre in Huby, Yorkshire during our trip last year.
I have family visiting so I won't be on Flickr much over the next few days. I will be checking out everybody's photos though.

We fly home from the UK tomorrow - speak to you from "down under"

Here's one from last Friday and our visit to the illuminated Fountains Abbey.
Twelfth-century Cistercian legislation prohibited the construction of either stone bell towers or high wooden towers. However, low wooden towers, set in stone bases were often built at the crossing of the church, to illuminate the choir and presbytery. These were known as lantern towers. A lantern tower rose from the crossing of the 1146 built church at Fountains, and although little has survived, enough remains to show that it was not part of the original design but a late-twelfth-century addition. By the end of the fifteenth century the lantern tower was in need of repair. Abbot Marmaduke Huby evidently considered it more worthwhile to build a new tower, which he, rather unusually, constructed outside the north transept. This magnificent stone structure was about fifty metres tall and loomed over the site. It still stands almost to its full height and for many modern-day visitors is the hallmark of the abbey. Huby was concerned to personalise his work and inscribed his motto, ‘Honour and glory to God alone’ [Soli Deo Honor et Gloria] on the tower. He also added an inscription of his shield bearing the initials, ‘MH’, between a mitre and crozier; a carving of a head on the second story may be a representation of St Bernard, or even of Huby himself.
It sounds to me as though he built the tower not in Gods name but his own.
By the way I had to stand the camera in a muddy puddle for this one.
Fountains Abbey is one of the largest and best preserved ruined Cistercian monasteries in England. It is located approximately 3 miles (5 km) south-west of Ripon in North Yorkshire, near to the village of Aldfield. Founded in 1132, the abbey operated for 407 years, becoming one of the wealthiest monasteries in England until its dissolution, by order of Henry VIII, in 1539.
In 1983, Studley Royal Park including the ruins of Fountains Abbey was purchased by the National Trust. The abbey is maintained by English Heritage.

Another year has flown by super fast. I hope 2020 brings everyone what they wish for. My wish for the new year is rain for Australia to put out the fires raging at the moment. 7 people has lost their lives in the last 2 days - a total of 12 so far.
Der Blautopf in Blaubeuren in Baden-Württemberg ist die zweit-wasserreichste Karstquelle Deutschlands. Hier entspringt die Blau, die nach rund 22 Kilometern im Ulmer Stadtgebiet der Donau zufließt.
Bekannt ist der Blautopf für die je nach Lichteinfall mehr oder weniger intensive, aber immer auffallend blaue Farbe seines Wassers. Die blaue Farbe entsteht durch einen physikalischen Effekt der Lichtstreuung (so genannte Rayleigh-Streuung) an den nanoskaligen Kalkpartikeln, die im Wasser dispergiert sind. Durch deren geringe Größe wird das blaue Licht bevorzugt gestreut und erzeugt das blaue Leuchten. Der gleiche Effekt ist auch bei der Blauen Lagune in Island zu beobachten; dort wird der Effekt durch nanoskalige Silikatpartikel verursacht.

Der Blautopf ist ein Ort der Sagen und Legenden. So wurde die Wasserfärbung einst dadurch erklärt, dass täglich ein Fass voll Tinte hineingeschüttet würde. Im Volksglauben galt der Blautopf als bodenlos. Versuche, mit einem Bleilot die Tiefe zu ermitteln, sollen immer wieder von einer Nixe vereitelt worden sein, die das Gewicht stahl. In Anlehnung an diese Sage gibt es unweit des Blautopfs einen Felsen mit dem Namen „Klötzle Blei“. Und auch ein bekannter schwäbischer Zungenbrecher wird gerne den Kindern in der Umgebung erzählt:
’S leit a Klötzle Blei glei bei Blaubeira,
glei bei Blaubeira leit a Klötzle Blei.
Hochsprachlich lautet das in etwa:
Es liegt ein Klötzlein Blei gleich bei Blaubeuren,
gleich bei Blaubeuren liegt ein Klötzlein Blei.
Tauchen im Blautopf
1880 stieg der erste Helmtaucher in den Blautopf. Der Grund wurde erst 1957 von einem Taucher erreicht.
Der Einstieg in die Blauhöhle liegt in einer Wassertiefe von etwa 21 Metern und kann deshalb nur von gut ausgebildeten Höhlentauchern befahren werden.
Mehrere Tauchunfälle unter Hobbytauchern, darunter auch tödliche, veranlassten die Gemeinde Blaubeuren, den Blautopf seit den 1980er Jahren für Taucher zu sperren. Sondergenehmigungen haben Einsatztaucher der Wasserrettung DLRG, Verein für Höhlenkunde München e. V. (VHM München), die Arbeitsgemeinschaft Blautopf der HFGOK (Höhlenforschungsgruppe Ostalb Kirchheim) und eine Gruppe Höhlenforscher um Jochen Hasenmayer. Der letzte schwere Unfall ereignete sich 2003, als ein Mitglied des Hasenmayer-Teams nur noch tot geborgen werden konnte.
Das Tauchen im Blautopf spielt eine Rolle in dem Kriminalroman Bienzle und die schöne Lau von Felix Huby, der auch im Rahmen der Fernsehreihe Tatort verfilmt wurde.

This beautiful Red Macaw was at the Yorkshire Birds of Prey Centre. We were told it was a new acquisition and the man was trying to gain it's trust. He spends a lot of time with it as it is in the office/cafe and even though it still tried to bite him at times, it would come over to him when ignored and bend down for a scratch.
Taken at the Birds of Prey Centre in Huby, Yorkshire. We had a lovely visit to the centre - I would recommend it to anyone who is in the area.
Yesterday we drove to the Yorkshire Birds of Prey Centre in Huby to check it out. It is an amazing place to visit - a hands on experience. There was so many raptors on display, some in cages and some not. They even had some Australian Kookaburras on show in a huge cage where you can walk in and be with them as they feed the birds.

This is not a pretty picture. This is not a documentary shot! This is a political shot!
The government of the Czech Republic we carry in our country buses Muslims, criminals and terrorists. We do not want them here! We want to fix this old palace. They were built Wallenstein. Its owner died in prison Spielberg in 1623, because he was a Protestant and a patriot. Furthermore, he magnified military genus Colalt from Italy. But they have chased after the war as Mussolini collaborators. Communists in it stored potatoes. Now it is owned by the Russian mafia. We want to fix it! We are not a poor country.
Zámek Brtnice patrně založili rytíři Johanité jako pevnost. Valdštejnové ho dohnali do jeho bývalé krásy. Bohužel majitel se zapletl do Českých stavů a po 3 letech vězení zemřel na Špilberku v r. 1623.
Nebyl to ale konec. Koupili ho italští vojevůdci Colaltové, kteří se podivili, jak pitomé je tu obyvatelstvo. No byla to pravda. Pozvali mnichy, vybudovali klášter a hle, další generace blbců se už nekonala, město začalo tvořit unikátní hodnoty.
Je to hezký městečko a má víc krásy než jen zámek. Po válce to šlo šmahem. Italové, kolaboranti táhněte za Musolinim, ať žije KSČS.
Skladovali tu brambory a ničili práci našich předků. Od revoluce se nic nepohlo a zámek vlastní družstvo nějakýho Olega. Si dovedu představit kam patří. Vyserte se na černý huby a spravte nám zámek, slyšíš Sobotko! Je to tvoje povinnost!
