Our bikes on the dam between the Ismaninger Speichersee, east basin (on the right), and the Mittlere-Isar-Kanal, after an about 20 km ride.
The Mittlere-Isar-Kanal was built in the 1920s to supply water to seven hydroelectric power plants along its way.
The Ismaninger Speichersee is a reservoir Munich, built in 1929 to regulate the water flow for the run-of-the-river power plants along the Mittlere-Isar-Kanal.
The reservoir and the adjacent fish ponds are a nature reserve (Europareservat) and an Important Bird Area (IBA).

The Nuestra Señora del Pilar cathedral basilica is the largest baroque church in Spain and one of the most important temples in the country. Basilica of Nuestra Señora del Pilar was founded in the place of the first Christian history of the apparitions of Our Lady. It appeared on the pole, hence the name of Our Lady at the Column.
It is considered to be the first Marian shrine in the world because it has a column in it (Spanish el pilar), in which Mary, living in Jerusalem, appeared in the body, appearing in the body of the Apostle James on January 2, 40. The shrine center is a jasper column with a 15th-century figurine of Madonna and Child. Madonna del Pilar is a patron saint of the Spanish and her holiday on 12 October is the national holiday of Spain.
At first there was only a small chapel. The present form was obtained by extension in the years 1681-1754.

Bazylika katedralna Nuestra Señora del Pilar (Matki Bożej na Kolumnie) jest największą świątynią barokową w Hiszpanii i jedną z najważniejszych świątyń w tym kraju. Bazylika Nuestra Señora del Pilar powstała w miejscu pierwszych w historii chrześcijaństwa objawień Matki Bożej. Objawiła się ona na słupie, stąd nazwa Matka Boża na Kolumnie.
Jest uważana za pierwszą na świecie świątynię maryjną, ponieważ zachowuje się w niej kolumnę (hiszp. el pilar), na której według tradycji Maryja - żyjąc jeszcze w Jerozolimie - objawiła się w ciele apostołowi Jakubowi 2 stycznia 40 roku. Ośrodkiem sanktuarium jest jaspisowa kolumna z XV-wieczną figurką Madonny z Dzieciątkiem. Madonna del Pilar jest patronką Świata Hiszpańskiego (hiszp. Hispanidad), a jej święto w dniu 12 października jest świętem narodowym Hiszpanii.
Początkowo znajdowała się tu tylko mała kaplica. Obecną formę uzyskała dzięki rozbudowie w latach 1681-1754.
Hello my amazing friends !
Today Major Tom is waiting for a very, very important call. He is about to reconnect with his past and some very good childhood friends. He doesn’t want to miss this call so that is why he has his phone near while doing his astronaut’s stuff on the moon. There is also a very red and large phone booth, just few steps away… Of course, he has to use the old ladder to get to it, but even with his astronaut suit he is very, very fast. He completed the astronauts training after all, and there was a special section « ladder climbing for dummies and astronauts » so I’m sure he will be able to answer the phone in time !
Mucho, mucho amor for you all !! See you later !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!!

A rainforest is an area of tall, mostly evergreen trees and a high amount of rainfall. Rainforests are Earth’s oldest living ecosystems, with some surviving in their present form for at least 70 million years. They are incredibly diverse and complex, home to more than half of the world’s plant and animal species—even though they cover just 6% of Earth’s surface. This makes rainforests astoundingly dense with flora and fauna. Rainforests’ rich biodiversity is incredibly important to our well-being and the well-being of our planet.
Fritz Klimsch trained at the Königliche Akademische Hochschule für die bildenden Künste [Royal Fine Art Academy] in Berlin in the drawing class taught by the painter Ernst Hancke and in the modelling class under Albert Wolff. From 1887-1890 he was a pupil of Fritz Schaper's. While still a student, the young sculptor produced his first important work, winning awards and his first experience of official recognition.
On his wedding trip to Paris, Klimsch became acquainted with Rodin's work, which greatly impressed him with its liveliness of form and expression and left a lasting influence on him. Klimsch regarded Adolf von Hildebrand as second only to Rodin as the inspiration behind his art. Hildebrandt supplemented Rodin's liveliness with tectonics and statics, thus creating the balance Klimsch felt was so important to his own sculpture.
In 1898 Klimsch founded the Berlin Secession jointly with Max Liebermann and Walter Leistikow and was represented on a regular basis at the exhibitions the group mounted. Travels to Italy and Greece shaped his style. Klimsch was subsequently extraordinarily successful with portraits, monuments and funerary sculpture as well as female nudes. He did a great many portraits of distinguished representatives of cultural and political life, including Ludwig Thoma, Lovis Corinth, Max Liebermann, Max Slevogt and Paul von Hindenburg. In 1912 he became a member of the Prussian Academy of the Arts and in 1916 a senator of the Academy. Appointed to the Akademische Hochschule für bildende Künste in 1921, he retired in 1935 after heading the master class studio there. After the war the artist settled in the Black Forest to live in seclusion, producing from then on only a few works in small formats. In 1950 Fritz Klimsch was awarded the Große Bundesverdienstkreuz and died that same year.

C-Falter (Polygonia c-album) - comma butterfly
Besides of their beautiful colours, their grace and elegance belongs to the things I love most on butterflys. Take a look at the posture of this specimen. For me, thats the epitome of pride and self confidence (and this absolutely unarmed). By the way, I believe, that pride is no sin but a important puzzle piece of a healthy mind.
Neben Ihren wunderschönen Farben gehören die Grazie und Eleganz zu den Dingen, die mich am meisten bei Schmetterlingen begeistern. Man schaue sich nur mal die Körperhaltung dieses Exemplars hier an. Für mich der Innbegriff von Stolz und Selbstbewusstsein (und das völlig unbewaffnet). Im Übrigen halte ich Stolz nicht für eine Sünde, sondern für ein wichtiges Puzzelteil einer gesunden Seele.
As one of the most iconic images of Scotland, Eilean Donan is recognised all around the world. Situated on an island at the point where three great sea lochs meet, and surrounded by some majestic scenery, it is little wonder that the castle is now one of the most visited and important attractions in the Scottish highlands.
Although first inhabited around the 6th century, the first fortified castle was built in the mid 13th century and stood guard over the lands of Kintail. Since then, at least four different versions of the castle have been built and re-built as the feudal history of Scotland unfolded through the centuries.
Partially destroyed in a Jacobite uprising in 1719, Eilean Donan lay in ruins for the best part of 200 years until Lieutenant Colonel John MacRae-Gilstrap bought the island in 1911 and proceeded to restore the castle to its former glory. After 20 years of toil and labour the castle was re-opened in 1932.

Bird photography sounds peaceful. You picture me quietly communing with nature, sipping coffee while majestic creatures flutter by, posing politely like they’re in a Disney movie. That’s a lie. The truth involves hauling lawn chairs, tripods, and a camera bag that weighs more than a third grader across the desert before sunrise—all to sit motionless next to a glorified livestock trough filled with water I wouldn’t let my enemies drink.
This cattle tank, which I have gentrified into a “desert oasis” (by tossing in a stick), is now a fine-dining establishment for birds. The stick is important. I found it on the ground, which makes it natural, and I chose one with bark and lichen because birds don’t like muddy feet—and I like a pretty perch.
Birds don’t just fly in, though. First, they land about twenty-five feet away in what I call the staging area, where they scope things out and decide if it’s safe to drink. Just as I know birds come here for water, they know hawks come here for birds. If it seems risky, they vanish into the brush to post angry tweets about predator privilege.
This time, an American Robin decided to play along. He glided down to the branch, dipped his beak into the water, then raised his head to swallow—because robins, like most birds, can’t gulp. They rely on gravity to get the water down. No swallow muscles. No peristalsis. Just tip and pray.
As he tilted his head back, water spilled from his beak. I fired off a burst of photos. In this frame, he’s in perfect profile, water spilling from his bill, with a few droplets stopped in mid-air and a few reached the surface, sending delicate ripples across the pond.
His reflection was beautiful and haunting, like a bird pondering the mysteries of hydration—or maybe just wondering why some guy shoved a branch in his drinking fountain.
In the desert, water is liquid gold. To birds, cattle tanks are survival. To me, they’re proof that lugging heavy gear into the wilderness to photograph a robin mid-sip is a perfectly reasonable way to spend retirement.
Especially if you're trying to avoid housework.
He lifts his head to the sky—a gravity feed,
’Cause evolution said, “Nah—gulping’s not a need.

It is important to go outside every other day and take pictures for 30 minutes. This way you practice your photography and improve your skills. I have a schedule for my photography subject. I takes portraits when I am indoor. I take flower pictures during the day, but I need a reflector to prevent harsh light. For landscape I need cloudy day mostly. I also like taking pictures before 10 am and after 5 pm to prevent the harsh light. I took this picture to show the details in macro.
The important feudal family of the Princes of Celje did not fulfill the highest ambition - to get to the throne of Austria. By a tricked twist of history they disappeared at the moment of their greatest glory in 1456 and Celje returned to common life. It is certainly an epic story!

Dragonflies are important in wetland ecosystems, vulnerable to wetland drainage, excess nutrients, pesticides and shoreline "cleaning." They eat a broad range of insects from mosquitoes to beetles to other dragonflies. Over 60 dragonflies are found in Central Florida. Some species do not venture far from the water where they breed, while others, such as the Wandering Glider, migrate long distances.
The four-spotted pennant dragonfly is found throughout the southern tier of the United States as far west as Arizona. It's also been spotted in New Jersey. In Florida, its found in most peninsular counties, including all of South Florida, and in a few panhandle counties as far west as Leon and Wakulla. Like other dragonflies, it likes to be around lakes and ponds, since that's where it spends the first part of its life, and that's where it reproduces. The scientific name of the four-spotted pennant is brachymesia gravida. Mature individuals have a dark, slender body, a large black spot between the nodus and stigma of each wing and white stigmas (the only dragonfly with white stigmas). Juveniles are mostly orange-brown with white spots on the side of the face.
This Four-spotted Pennant is from my archives! (Hope I am right about the ID Mary)

Via Giulia is a street in the historic centre of Rome, Italy, mostly in rione Regola, although its northern part belongs to rione Ponte. It was one of the first important urban planning projects in Renaissance Rome.
History
The Via Giulia was designed circa 1508 by Pope Julius II but the original plan was only partially carried out. This was the first attempt since Antiquity to pierce a new thoroughfare through the heart of Rome and a very early example of urban renewal. Via Giulia runs from the Ponte Sisto to the church of San Giovanni dei Fiorentini, following the tight curve of the Tiber. In the 16th-century, housing facing the street was favored by borghesi, and specially by the Florentine community in Rome. Today its modest structures provide one of Rome's elite shopping streets, noted for its antique shops.
The Via Giulia runs in a straight line for a full kilometer, an innovation easily taken for granted today. The via was one aspect of Julius' wide-reaching program for the refurbishment of a resurgent Rome and Papal state. His financial reforms, undertaken from the first year of his pontificate, aimed to free the Papacy from its dependence on the great Roman families such as the Orsini and Colonna, and instead relying on Tuscan bankers, notably to Agostino Chigi, member of a banking family of Siena. A part of Julius' overall plan was the reorganization of the medieval city of Rome, whose unrealized assets were becoming apparent as the renewed city grew in economic importance, recovering from the sleepy backwater it had become during the fourteenth century.
The new street was intended as an artery connecting all the governmental institutions, which were crowded in the single section: the Palazzo della Cancelleria, being completed at that very moment, the papal mint and the projected Palazzo dei Tribunali.
The laying-out of the street was placed in the hands of Donato Bramante, who was in charge of the works at the new Basilica of Saint Peter, taking shape on the other side of the river. Vasari states, "The pope was determined to place in Strada Giulia, which was under Bramante's direction, all the offices and administrative seats of power of Rome in one place, for the convenience of those who had business to do there, having been until then constantly much inconvenienced.
At the same time the new artery linked the river port of the Ripa Grande with the new Via della Lungara, and by the Via Giulia to the Ponte Sisto, in order to bring merchandise securely and conveniently to the heart of the marketing and banking zone.
Work was halted on Bramante's majestic Palazzo dei Tribunali, which was to have assembled under one roof all the judicature of Rome. It remained half-built for a generation, to the regret of artists like Vasari. With this an essential element in Julius' urbanistic project was lost.
The street developed as a line of modest houses with gardens behind them, built for private owners or confraternities, sometimes on speculation, broken by more ambitious palazzi. This is the urban context of the "houses of Raphael", with their ground floor street-front shops.
The grand palazzi turned their backs to Via Giulia. In the 1540s Michelangelo had a plan for the constricted gardens of Palazzo Farnese to be connected by a bridge to the Farnese villa in Trastevere on the right bank, Villa Farnesina. The elegant arch still spanning Via Giulia belongs to this other grand unrealized scheme.

It is a commercially important plant species of the diverse spurge family (Euphorbiaceae). Indigenous to Central America, it was described as a new species in 1834. It is particularly well known for its red and green foliage and is widely used in Christmas floral displays. It derives its common English name from Joel Roberts Poinsett, the first United States Minister to Mexico, who is credited with introducing the plant to the US in the 1820s. Poinsettias are shrubs or small trees, with heights of 0.6–4 m. Though often stated to be highly toxic, the poinsettia is not dangerous to pets or children. Exposure to the plant, even consumption, most often results in no effect, though can cause nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. Wild poinsettias occur from Mexico to Guatemala, growing on mid-elevation, Pacific-facing slopes. One population in the Mexican state of Guerrero is much further inland, however, and is thought to be the ancestor of most cultivated populations. Wild poinsettia populations are highly fragmented, as their habitat is experiencing largely unregulated deforestation. They were cultivated by the Aztecs for use in traditional medicine. They became associated with the Christmas holiday and are popular seasonal decorations. Every year in the US, approximately 70 million poinsettias of many cultivated varieties are sold in a six-week period. Many of these poinsettias are grown by the Ecke family business, which serves half the worldwide market and 70% of the US market. is a shrub or small tree, typically reaching a height of 0.6–4 metres. The plant bears dark green dentate leaves that measure 7–16 centimetres in length. The colored bracts—which are most often flaming red but can be orange, pale green, cream, pink, white, or marbled—are often mistaken for flower petals because of their groupings and colors, but are actually leaves. The colors of the bracts are created through photoperiodism, meaning that they require darkness (12 hours at a time for at least five days in a row) to change color. At the same time, the plants require abundant light during the day for the brightest color. The flowers of the poinsettia are unassuming and do not attract pollinators. They are grouped within the cyathia (small yellow structures found in the center of each leaf bunch, or false flowers). Nothing is known about pollination in wild poinsettias, though wasps are noted to occasionally visit the cyathia. 31872
The Anzac Memorial is a heritage-listed war memorial, museum and monument located in Hyde Park South, near Liverpool Street, in the Sydney central business district, in the City of Sydney local government area of New South Wales, Australia. The Art Deco monument was designed by C. Bruce Dellit, with the exterior adorned with monumental figural reliefs and sculptures by Rayner Hoff, and built from 1932 to 1934 by Kell Rigby. It is also known as Anzac War Memorial, War Memorial Hyde Park and Hyde Park Memorial. The memorial is the focus of commemoration ceremonies on Anzac Day, Remembrance Day and other important occasions. 8915
I am not easy to figure out…
i am a simple yet complicated soul,
balanced but moody…
i can be quiet and retreat into my own abyss or i can be a little chatterbox being silly…
shy but outgoing...
an introverted extrovert perhaps…
I ruminate or don’t think of it, whatever it is, at all…
but i am who i am and i make no excuses for myself…
I can't be with anyone that wants to pick which “me” they care to spend time with
because like a box of cracker jacks, you never know whats inside…
Outwardly my appearance is what it is….
the life i have lived shows my trials and tribulations….
i make mistakes,
i have become jaded and somewhat guarded,
i am on a journey of a lifetime,
i chose independence and a life of free will to finally find out just who i am
without being what was expected of me to be or to do….
and i wouldn’t change my decision for the world….
is it easy, oh hell but hell no….
i have fu*ked up so many times but i have gotten it right so many times as well…
nothing important enough worth having/wanting is ever easy
but it builds confidence, not settling or being complacent ...
its a new lesson every day,
and as i take baby steps along the path i am on,
i do so knowing that life is to be lived,
not waiting on a shelf wondering when will it be my turn to be the butterfly
that finally leaves its cocoon,
the girl with the gypsy soul….
take me as i am for that is all that i know how to be…
nor would i care to be anyone else...
the best things in life are free ...to figure it all out...

Especially in these days when people are so busy with work, it is hard to keep up with family as well. Just remember family is the MOST IMPORTANT part of our lives. Our children need our love, care, attention, education, good health, family life. All children deserve this WITHOUT EXCEPTION!!!! NO child should be left behind!!! Keep families together, don't separate them!!! To the huge corporations please remember that love comes before huge profits, remember that people are working for you, not robots, they have a private life and need to sustain families and need the time to give attention to their families!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️

An important thing for birds who got a late start on their nests is keeping the young chicks cool. Weather has warmed up and we are climbing into the 90s every dayl.
This parent is standing between the sun and the chicks and holding out its wings to further shade them.
The midday light isn't very good for photography either.
