Former cloister Haydau lies in the district Alt-Morschen of the municipality Morschen in the Schwalm Eder Kreis in Hesse. It is the cloister best of all preserved in his architectural continuance of the Cisterciansinnen in Hesse.
In 1232 landgrave Konrad von Thüringen and his field captain Friedrich von Treffurt to Spangenberg attacked the Mainz broad city of Fritzlar. They pillage and threaten to burn the town, they burnt down and looted the conventual church Saint Peter. Friedrich's family to the Fritzlarer provost Gumbert offered to the penalty obliged her endowment around the moor, so Haydau. On the 23rd of January, 1235 provost Gumbert confirmed this handing over to the Cisterciansinnen.
In the middle of the 14th century cloister of Haydau had developed not only to a spiritual-cultural, but also an economic centre in which the landgraves of Hessian had pledged towns and villages.
April is National Poetry Month, a celebration of poets and poetry that's been in place for 25 years.
Last month, as the U.S. grieved over attacks against Asian Americans, NPR's Morning Edition collected poems on how people grapple with the increased violence and discrimination.
Over 500 listeners shared powerful, poignant poems — in the form of a list beginning with the word "today." They showcased fear, anger, empathy and motivation to make the world a better place.
NPR's resident poet Kwame Alexander took lines from the submissions to create a community poem, "Today, I Am A Witness To Change."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To quote just a few:
Today I hesitate
for the first time, I wonder if I should stay home and not walk the neighborhood.
it's not the weather or the virus — the day is beautiful
Today
I'm frozen
Terrified.
I cannot hide
This skin
This hair
These eyes.
I see the punch, punch, punch of a community at war.
Today I am a witness.
I rush past the jeering white boys that say I brought corona to America.
My soul is wary.
Today, a video call full of empty boxes
Stares at me, apprehensively.
Students locked behind a screen
Their hearts and minds
Severed
From one another.
Today, the headlines say March Madness
Today, I don't watch basketball.
The madness is in the streets.
In broad daylight.
On the concrete sidewalks of New York.
In the silence of bystanders.
It's in the textbooks. The classrooms. The family dinners. The lies we tell.
Today the rain falls
and falls
and falls
and falls.
a silent tear from a weeping woman.
Today, I will say their names
I will cancel class and try again tomorrow.
That's a scary thought to commute to NYC nowadays for me, even I'm FULLY inoculated. :-(((
A bridge over the Basingstoke Canal. The canal, to my mind, is one of the prettiest in the UK. I am fascinated by the bridges, constructed of local bricks and constructed of low arches over the water. As you approach the light beyond seems to reveal something other worldly. Elysian Fields maybe?
Located on the Nete river, Lier was settled in the 8th century and developed around the chapel of St. Peter. Lier became an important textile centre in the 14th century. It was besieged and taken by the Spanish in 1582, by the Dutch in 1595, and by the English in 1706 during the War of the Spanish Succession.
Lier is a French commune that was granted city rites in 1212. It is located in the Flanders region of Northern Belgium. Located on the Nete river, Lier was settled in the 8th century and developed around the chapel of St. Peter. Lier became an important textile centre in the 14th century. It was besieged and taken by the Spanish in 1582, by the Dutch in 1595, and by the English in 1706 during the War of the Spanish Succession. Belgian nationalists resisted a Dutch attack in 1830. Belgium has seen its fair share of war and occupation.
Destruction of Lier occurred as a result of bombing in Antwerp in 1914; however, many of the medieval structures survived including, the Gothic belfry, St. Gommarus’ Church and the béguinage.

I'm doing some experimental work here and I not only welcome but I would like any suggestions and comments on this image. I feel there is something lacking in it, but I don't know what.
Plastic - An interesting theme for this week's Macro Monday. I like plastic and as suggested, it wasn't too tough finding a worthy subject in the house. I had a few CD's lying around and thought it would be interesting if I could extract the data via some unconventional means. I chose a torch and applied a little heat to the underside of the CD. Before my eyes, the data started to emerge in the form of little bubbles and I knew I was on to something. For the shot, I added a little sunlight (fleeting sunlight I might add) and my trusty 55mm f/2.8 NIKKOR Micro with a PK-13, 27.5mm extension tube and it was done. Included in the experimentation was my 50mm Pentacon and various extension tube lengths. I liked this one the best but the bokeh of the Pentacon is very unique.
The bubbles don't really contain data but it seemed to fit so I went with it. You may think you're looking at a curved surface but its flat and looks just like a CD with one side melted a bit. Enjoy large.
Subject size: app. 3/4 in X 3/4 in.
Happy Macro Mondays
Part of the monastery established by Christian Monks from around the 4th century (possibly earlier) on Great Skellig Michael which is dedicated to Saint Michael The Archangel and is part of a line of seven monasteries that runs from Ireland to Israel. You can see Little Skellig which lies between Great Skellig and the County Kerry coast in the background.

The story starts lying in the dark broken and bruised
I count the scars left in my heart from losing you
And I was wrong but let’s be honest you were too
I miss the part where I was falling hard for you
So don’t lie, bright eyes
Is it me that you see when you fall asleep?
Cause I know it’s you I dream about every night
Giving me this feeling like
Love in the summer
Way I’ve never felt with another
Don’t lie, bright eyes
Is it me that you see?
Tell me I’m not dreaming alone.
It’ll always be you and me, so why are we dreaming alone?
Vík lies directly south of the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, which itself is on top of the Katla volcano. Katla has not erupted since 1918, and this longer than typical dormant period has led to speculation that an eruption may occur soon. An eruption of Katla could melt enough ice to trigger an enormous flash flood, potentially large enough to obliterate the entire town. The town's church, located high on a hill, is believed to be the only building that would survive such a flood. Thus, the people of Vík practice periodic drills and are trained to rush to the church at the first sign of an eruption. The town of about 300 inhabitants has 1,400 hotel rooms for scientists and tourists, who are also briefed about Katla's dangers. (Wikipedia)
Nam Tso གནམ་མཚོ།
The lake lies at an elevation of 4,718 m, and has a surface area of 1,870 square kilometres. It is the highest salt lake in the world, and largest salt lake in the Tibet Autonomous Region. However, it is not the largest salt lake in the Tibetan Plateau. That title belongs to KokoNor མཚོ་སྔོན་ མཚོ་ཁྲི ་ཤོར་རྒྱལ་མོ་ (almost twice the size of Namtso). Namtso has five uninhabited islands of reasonable size, in addition to one or two rocky outcrops. The islands have been used for spiritual retreat by pilgrims who walk over the lake's frozen surface at the end of winter, carrying their food with them. They spend the summer there, unable to return to shore again until the water freezes the following winter. This practice is no longer permitted under the Communist Chinese regime in Tibet. www.footprinttravelguides.com/c/2848/tibet/&Action=pr...
Where to go, I don't even know
Only big white lies to get by 'cause
I don't wanna make you cry, stay here by my side
Only big white lies to get by 'cause
Don't know where to go, oh, I don't even know, oh
I've been telling you white lies so you would stay
I don't wanna make you cry, stay here by my side
Only big white lies to get by 'cause
It does not know how to lie. It does not know how to say the truth. But it can help me with both.
Four LED lights and the Mitakon Speedmaster manual lens wide-open.
Living in the fish eye lens (islands)
Caught in the camera eye
I have no heart to lie
I can't pretend a stranger
Is a long-awaited friend

The Cuillin is a range of rocky mountains located on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. The main Cuillin ridge is also known as the Black Cuillin to distinguish it from the Red Cuillin, which lie to the east of Glen Sligachan. The peaks of the Black Cuillin are mainly composed of gabbro, a very rough igneous rock which provides a superb grip for mountaineers; and basalt, which can be very slippery when wet.
Beverweerd Castle, locally known as Kasteel Beverweerd, lies north of the village of Werkhoven, in the province of Utrecht in the Netherlands.
The castle was built in the first half of the 13th century on a small island in the Kromme Rijn river. It then consisted of a simple tower house of 2 floors. In the second half of the 13th century the 2 square corner towers were added. The oldest known inhabitant of Beverweerd Castle was a Zweder van Zuylen and his wife Hildegardis or Hillegonda van de Velde. The castle was a fief of the Bishop of Utrecht and probably held by the family of Hildegardis. Because when she died in 1296 the castle did not go to Zweder but to a family member of her; Nicolaas van de Velde.
In later centuries Beverweerd Castle went to several families through marriages and inheritances, amongst them the Van Vianen, Van Bouchout and the De Lannoy families. In 1563 Philip William, Prince of Orange, inherited the castle. It stayed in the Orange-Nassau family for the next 200 years. During those times the castle was rebuilt several times though still keeping much of its medieval character.
In 1782 Beverweerd Castle went to the Van Heeckeren family. Between 1835 and 1862 the castle was rebuilt into a regular Gothic Revival style mansion by the architect C. Kramm for Baron H.J.C.E. van Heeckeren. Then it also recieved the white plaster on its exterior. This was removed in 1934, only to be applied again in 2010.
In 1958 the castle was sold to a foundation for Quaker schools. It served as a school until 1997 under the name International School Beverweerd. The boarded up outbuildings for housing the students can still be seen in the park next to the castle.
At present Beverweerd Castle is private property. It is now inhabited by the Dutch painter and former art forger Geert Jan Jansen.

Before sunset we stayed to shot a raptor that we particularly liked. We worry on our way back to find the entry to the camp closed ! A few kilometers only from our destination and near a waterhole where apparently he just drink in, a cheetah was showing off before some admirers.At first lying on the ground, the animal roll sideways, seeming very calm, enjoying himself, ignoring us. Then he stand up and left us without hurry, coming back a few times, one or two bushes away, letting us admiring his feline beauty before leaving ...The wildlife photographer knows well this intense emotion which we never tires when wild nature offers us such a gift!
Image prise près de Mata-mata
Avant le coucher du soleil nous sommes restés pour photographier un rapace que nous aimons particulièrement. Nous nous inquiétons en revenant de trouver l'entrée du camp fermée! A quelques kilomètres seulement de notre destination , près d'un point d'eau où il venait certainement de boire, ce guépard est allongé et roule sur lui même devant quelques admirateurs !Le photographe animalier connait bien cette émotion intense qui nous envahit et dont on ne se lasse jamais lorsque la nature sauvage nous offre un pareil cadeau !
Puis le guépard va s'en aller ,allant d'un buisson à l'autre ,nous permettant d'admirer sa beauté féline !
Il est temps pour nous de rentrer , encore émervveillés des moments que nous venons de vivre ..

Snow lies on the highest peaks of the Spanish Pyrenees for most of the year. This typifies much of the scenery in the region: flat fertile valleys, steep wooded cliffs and snow-capped peaks. It is in this flat valley at Belaula that the Wildcat has been seen. We searched at dawn for this elusive felid, the sunlit snow clad peaks reflected in the river below exuding a sense of tranquility. However, recent snowfall formed a blanket over the Water Vole mounds reducing our chances of seeing the Wildcat who would likely retreat to the forest for hunting.
