Europe, The Netherlands, Overijssel, Hengelo, Tuindorp, ROC van Twente (uncut)
The city of Hengelo is often called the 'metal city' because of its industrial facilities. The former foundry (ijzergieterij) of the Stork factory is shown here. It was constructed in 1902 and later was used for the maintenance of industrial appliances.
It served this purpose until the end of the 90s and was redeveloped into a school for professional education (ROC Twente) in 2009 by Harry Abels (IAA Architecten) and restoration architect Maarten Fritz (Architectenbureau Fritz).
Like we mostly do, we asked permission to enter. After gaining it (‘OK, but please leave after 5 minutes’), we walked into the astounding redeveloped industrial space. And met a security crew that looked at us somewhat dubiously. Time for a chat: ‘You’re out in force in today’ (there were 4 of them). ‘We’re here because of Corona’, and they told that they were astonished by the number of tourists that have started to visit the facility. ‘This is no tourist attraction’. ‘But you are !” and smiling I showed them a new leaflet ('Tuindorp-route') of the municipal tourist office (VVV) in which the building, its history, and architecture are featured.
We talked some more, and one of the guards told us that she knows the building well - her father had worked there, and during a holiday she had worked there too, as a temp.

Salve!!!
This is a wonderful re-enactment group from both England and The Netherlands! They show us with great enthousiasm how the Romans lived and fought with spectacular live-shows and the men and women are dressed up in the most beautiful outfits. Everything is done with the highest degree of precision and knowledge about Roman life 2000 years ago.

I grew up with the knowledge that until THEY were over, the temperatures would still be unstable and UNPREDICTABLE!
And this year, they definitely did their reputation justice!
So, a few more days eh and, you can bring out in the garden all the frost susceptible plants and also annuals.
In late spring, the ICE SAINTS is the name for a number of Catholic saints , whose name days fall within the period from 11 to 15 May.
According to the meteorology people they are the last days in the year in which frost still may occur.
A sloppy interpretation of this folk wisdom has led to the misconception that a late spring with increased risk of frost would be.
Amongst the Ice Saints are considered:
Mamertus ( May 11 )
Pancras ( May 12 )
Servatius of Maastricht ( May 13 )
Boniface of Tarsus ( May 14 )
Sophia of Rome ( May 15 )
We came back from the Continent, I saw these in the garden, amongst the undergrowth, they were tiny and frail. View On proper Black
The little bells were tingelinging away in the cold wind, knowing they do not last very long... brought them in, they were ready for their close-up, lol!
STAY SAFE!
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty, M, (*_*)

So im back from my glacialogi course at Tarfala research station in the Kebnekaise massif. Such an awesome place. New knowledge and about 900 pictures went back with me :)
Proverbs 1:22 “How long, O naive ones, will you love simplicity? And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing, And fools hate knowledge?”
“There is no greater evil one can suffer than to hate reasonable discourse.” – Socrates
What happens when reasonable discourse is censored by an increasingly authoritarian system? During Covid, they said, “Follow the science.” Yet, as with climate change, a person can only have one side to the story. Nowadays, some scientists are even afraid to define a biological woman. Have we gone from science to cult? What about communist-style hate-speech laws for “misgendering” someone?
Does censorship encourage or stifle reasonable discourse? Does censorship encourage or stifle free thinking? Does censorship encourage or stifle critical thinking? Does censorship encourage or stifle freedom of speech? Does censorship encourage or stifle freedom?

"Imagination is more important than knowledge."

"Wir waren jene, die wussten, aber nicht verstanden,
voller Informationen, aber ohne Erkenntnis,
randvoll mit Wissen, aber mager an Erfahrung.
So gingen wir, von uns selbst nicht aufgehalten."
"We were those, who knew without understanding,
filled with informations but without awarness,
full to the brim with knowledge but so little experience.
So we were going on and could not stop ourselves."

NASA image acquired July 12, 2011
If you have never been north of the Arctic Circle, it is easy to imagine that the “ice cap” at the top of the world is a uniform sheet of white. The reality, particularly during the spring and summer melt, is a mottled landscape of white, teal, slate gray, green, and navy.
The sea ice atop the Arctic Ocean can—as shown in this photograph from July 12, 2011—look more like swiss cheese or a bright coastal wetland. As ice melts, the liquid water collects in depressions on the surface and deepens them, forming melt ponds. These fresh water ponds are separated from the salty sea below and around it, until breaks in the ice merge the two.
Researchers on the NASA-funded ICESCAPE mission—Impacts of Climate on Ecosystems and Chemistry of the Arctic Pacific Environment—have been examining melt ponds, the ice around them, and the waters below for three weeks, with three more to go. Carried by the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy, a team of oceanographers, marine biologists, and glaciologists are investigating how changing conditions in the Arctic affect the ocean’s chemical and biological makeup.
The science team collects water samples to examine water chemistry and to observe the colonies of plankton growing in the water and on the surfaces of the ice. Other instruments are used to assess how much and how far sunlight is penetrating into—and warming—the Arctic Ocean. Still others are measuring the current systems that move water from the depths to the surface, as well as horizontally across the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas.
Incidentally, the crew members in the photo are not harvesting data; they are collecting supplies. A C-130 airplane flew by earlier in the day, dropping a parachuted canister of hardware for fixing instruments and other machinery on the icebreaker.

Head of Henry the Navigator (acrylic cast taken from his tomb at the Monastery of Batalha, here seen at the Casa do Infante Dom Henrique, Porto). Whether we like it or not, the history of European overseas "discovery", expansion and Christian mission has been one of the major factors shaping the world as we know it. At the beginning of it, that is, in the 15th century, stands the formidable figure of Dom Henrique in Porto. His overseas projects were knowledge-based (navigation, geometry, mathematics, astronomy, cartography) and involved the university. Portugal's colonial empire produced the wealth that led for example to the baroque and gold-plated makeover of Porto's churches. Though Brazil got its independence in the 19th century, in other parts of the world Portuguese colonialism lasted up to the 1970s. Those subjected to Portuguese colonialism tend to tell this story in less gentle ways.

Did you know that it's Beautiful Women Month?
Below is a wonderful poem Audrey Hepburn
wrote when asked to share her "beauty tips." It was read at her funeral years later.
For attractive lips , speak words of kindness..
For lovely eyes, seek
out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the
hungry.
For beautiful hair , let a child run his/her fingers through it once a
day.
For poise , walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone..
People,
even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed,
and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a
helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older,
you will discover that you have two hands ; one for helping yourself, and the
other for helping others.
! If you share this with another woman, something good will happen . . ..
You will boost another woman's self esteem, and she will know that you care about her
And thank you so much Marie-Christine

Darth Bane vs. Darth Zannah.
"I will discover your secrets, unlocking them one by one until everything you know—all your knowledge and all your power—is mine. And once you are no longer of use to me, I will destroy you."
Been meaning to design this edit for a while now, and with the new Darth Bane rumors floating around today I thought now might be the time to finally do it!
The Darth Bane trilogy is really great. I listened to all three audiobooks earlier in the summer and I highly recommend them. Literally like listening to 10hr + Star Wars films you've never seen.
Those cubicle-shaped rooms in those buildings look like books and the whole building looks like a bookshelf. Those rooms representing knowledge. Wings are the focal point in this picture because that is the end result, which is freedom. And with that freedom that person holds endless opportunities (sky is the limit).

Perhaps I am ignorant but this gentleman is probably some famous or well-known character of whom I have no knowledge. If any member on Flickr knows about him or has further information that they can draw to my attention, then that would be most welcome!
North Park, or maybe East Trinidad?
No disrespect to the real birders out there, but at this point I just don't know the breeds of the birds I photograph. Toss me a clue in the comments if you a) care b) hate my jokey attempts to circumvent my lack of knowledge c) want to send me to bird school, on your dime.
