'THINK PINK!'
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️
One of the many prominent features in the park is the Marcy Casino Building, built for the 1901 fair. The building underwent an extensive restoration in 1990, refurbishing the original features of the 1901 design by architect E.B. Green. The Casino remains a popular place for holding events and gatherings. The original boat house was designed by Olmsted's partner, Calvert Vaux. Construction was completed in 1875, but the boat house was destroyed by a fire in 1900.
In 1875, the Delaware Park Casino was a community-gathering place and it featured a restaurant. The opening of The Terrace marks the first time in over a decade, this facility will be open to the public on a regular basis with this innovative partnership contributing to the building’s upkeep and the Olmsted park system.167
The Constantine and Helena (Eleni) Church, the most prominent church built during Ottoman period in Mustafapaşa (then, Sinasos), is located at the place that used to be the Marketplace before the population Exchange. The basilica planned church has a barrel vault, three naves and three apses, and there is an open courtyard on the west. Above the entrance door on the west face of the church, there is an eight-line inscription written on the marble stone in Greek letters. It was written from the mouth of the church in a way that no other example can be found in the region:
“Following pagans, holy kings
I am the temple of the faithful Constantine and Helena.
I was partially built during the reign of Sultan Ahmet.
I was decorated as necessary during the reign of Sultan Abdülmecid.
During the high priesthood of the famous Pasios,
With the struggle and expenditures of the Sinosos community,
I had been built from the foundations in 1729. In 1850, I was repaired”.

The prominent church in the background is the Christuskirche, a protestant church. Not what you expect given that Mainz was one of the three archdioceses being elector in the Holy Roman Empire. Further in the back is a paper factory in Mainz-Kostheim which actually belongs to Wiesbaden on the other side of the Rhein and which borders the river Main. Lots of 'not-what-you-expects' if you know a thing about Mainz.
The Worthington Glacier sits prominently on this scenic highway as one drives to Valdez AK. It's an easy walk to the toe of this beautiful glacier.
"One of the most visited natural attractions along the Richardson Highway, this four-mile-long glacier descends almost to pavement and is easy to approach on foot. Worthington Glacier—listed as a Natural National Landmark—is kept healthy by the area’s extraordinary snowfall. (Nearby Thompson Pass has been known to experience 80 feet of annual accumulation!)." alaska.org
Enjoy a wonderful Sunday and week ahead!
A view looking east on E. Main from N. Walnut St. in downtown Champaign. The five buildings in this view on the north side of E. Main all contribute to the Champaign Downtown Commercial District listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020. All were built between 1860 and 1907, and are Italianate and early 20th century commercial designs.
The most prominent building on this block is the four-story building with a center atrium that was constructed for the Jos. Kuhn & Company in 1907. Jos. Kuhn & Co. is a longtime outpost for men's attire that gradually grew until four of the five buildings in this block were being utilized by the company. Although the company's footprint today is smaller, it is still in business today at the same location.
Located in Champaign County in east central Illinois, the twin cities of Champaign and Urbana are the home of the University of Illinois. The population of the City of Champaign at the 2020 census was 88,302, while Champaign County had a population of 205,865.
Source: An outstanding source of information on Champaign's history is T.J. Blakeman's champaignhistory.com website. Highly recommended for a much more in-depth look at the history of the city.

Red-bellied woodpecker count for the GBBC: 4
The red-bellied woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus) is a medium-sized woodpecker of the family Picidae. It breeds mainly in the eastern United States, ranging as far south as Florida and as far north as Canada. Its common name is somewhat misleading, as the most prominent red part of its plumage is on the head; the red-headed woodpecker, however, is another species that is a rather close relative but looks quite different.
Adults are mainly light gray on the face and underparts; they have black and white barred patterns on their back, wings and tail. Adult males have a red cap going from the bill to the nape; females have a red patch on the nape and another above the bill. The reddish tinge on the belly that gives the bird its name is difficult to see in field identification. They are 22.85 to 26.7 cm (9.00 to 10.51 in) long, and have a wingspan of 38 to 46 cm (15 to 18 in).[3] More information can be found on the Wikipedia website - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-bellied_woodpecker
A Swallow Prominent moth - one of the twelve different species of moth that I have managed to identify from my first night of testing out my home-made moth light trap in my garden. There must have been fifty moths in my trap (the most numerous were about 20 Large Yellow Underwings) but some of them were tiny micro moths that I struggled to identify.
Forewing length 20-30mm.
Seen April-August.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.

On the morning we left the Valley, we made one last stop at 'Tunnel View' for this sight. El Capitan is prominent on the left side of the image. The trees hide the highways and byways from sight.
Unicorn Caterpillar, that is-- a variety of the Prominents. Hickory Canyons Natural Area in Ste Genevieve County, Missouri.
Our garden, Kent.
This beautiful moth was vibrating it’s wings so had to increase iso and speed to freeze the movement.
Moths heat up their flight muscles by vibrating their wings, since they do not have the radiant energy of the sun (being nocturnal) at their disposal to serve that purpose.
view of the western part (from the outer garden) of the Walewscy Palace in Walewice
Classicist building designed by Hilary Szpilowski or Stanislaw Zawadzki, built in 1773-1783 by Anastazy Walewski (chamberlain to King Stanislaw August Poniatowski); located on the Mroga River.
The palace is counted among the most interesting examples of classicist country seats in Poland, built at the end of the 18th century. The front faces east. It consists of a one-story rectangular main body and one-story side pavilions, also built on a rectangular plan, connected with the main body by communication galleries broken at right angles. The premise is based on the Palladian style, very popular in Poland in the second half of the 18th and first 19th centuries. From the front, the palace has a massive, four-column Ionic battered portico topped with a triangular pediment (tympanum) with the coat of arms of Pomian, the later owner Stanislaw Grabiński. From the garden there are two prominent extreme (side) risalits. Inside the palace, large representative halls with decorative brick fireplaces and elaborate furnishings were created, as well as spacious palace rooms. In one of the pavilions original painted wallpaper from the 19th century with mythological motifs has been preserved.
On May 4, 1810, the son of Napoleon Bonaparte and Maria Walewska, Alexander Colonna-Walewski, later French ambassador to Great Britain and foreign minister to Napoleon III, was born there. He also became heir to the estate, which he sold to Maria Walewska's brother, Teodor Łączyński, in 1831.
Much of the palace's charm is added by the perfect composition of the building with an extensive landscape park designed by Walerian Kronenberg. Original late Baroque and classicist sandstone sculptures depicting Mars, Venus, and Diana have been preserved there, as well as two hermits and an armed man in ancient costume.
In the mid-19th century, the palace and its estate passed into the hands of the Grabiński family of the Pomian coat of arms. The Grabinskis modernized and rebuilt the palace at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, established a stud farm for half-breed horses (Anglo-Arabians), developed the breeding of cockerel sheep (the only one in the country), a huge fish farm (on more than 100 hectares of ponds), a factory of potato flour and starch. The last owners of Walewice were papal chamberlain Stanislaw Bohdan Grabiński and his wife Jadwiga, née hr. Potocki, and after his death in 1930 their minor children Stanislaw Wojciech, Maria, Wladyslaw, Róża and Jan Grabiński. The palace still contains some of the furnishings and furniture from the last owners.
During World War II, on the night of September 9-10, 1939, the 17th Regiment of Wielkopolska Uhlans from Gniezno of the Wielkopolska Cavalry Brigade fought battles for the Palace and the village of Walewice during the Battle of the Bzura River.
At 20 mm, this Pebble Prominent caterpillar is half grown and was found feeding on Sallow (Salix) as I was collecting food plants for Cream-spot Tiger moth larvae!
This common moth occurs throughout the British Isles, appearing as an adult between May and August in either one or two broods depending on latitude. The final instar (stage) larva is greyish or brownish, and, like most of the prominents, feeds with the tail segment held up in the air.
Eastern Chipmunk.
Between 8 1/2 to 11 3/4 inches in length. Reddish brown above with a white belly. 1 white stripe bordered by 2 black stripes on sides ending at the rump. 2 white stripes on back much thinner than side stripes. Dark center stripe down the back. Pale facial stripes above and below the eyes. Tail brown on tip and edged with black. Prominent ears.
The Eastern Chipmunk's habitat includes open deciduous woodlands, forest edges, brushy areas, bushes and stone walls in cemeteries and around houses.
They range from southeastern Canada and the north-eastern U.S. east from North Dakota and eastern Oklahoma and south to Missisippi, northwest Carolina and Virginia.

The Saddled Prominent moth, is a species of moth of the family Notodontidae. It is found in North America. Adults are brownish to greenish grey with white or black spots on the forewings. There is one generation per year. On my home in Fairfield Harbour, North Carolina
Parasol mushrooms are prominent throughout European folklore. In Scotland, legend has it that fairies sit atop Parasol mushrooms and use them as dinner tables. In Wales, fairies supposedly use the Parasol mushroom as umbrellas. Parasol mushrooms have also been commonly featured in the artwork of Europe, and in 1995, a stamp in Azerbaijan featured Parasol mushrooms. In addition to folklore, Parasol mushrooms grow in some Himalayan regions where it is common for cattle herders to collect wild Parasols for food.
The robin features prominently in British folklore and that of northwestern France, but much less so in other parts of Europe. It was held to be a storm-cloud bird and sacred to Thor, the god of thunder, in Norse mythology. But this one was quietly waiting for me in the Jardins de Bagatelle.
Last August I found a caterpillar of the Pebble Prominent moth. The larva pupated in October and, today, the adult moth emerged. This species of macro moth is a common resident throughout most of Great Britain and Ireland.

One of our most familiar eastern flycatchers, the Eastern Phoebe’s raspy “phoebe” call is a frequent sound around yards and farms in spring and summer. These brown-and-white songbirds sit upright and wag their tails from prominent, low perches. They typically place their mud-and-grass nests in protected nooks on bridges, barns, and houses, which adds to the species’ familiarity to humans. Hardy birds, Eastern Phoebes winter farther north than most other flycatchers and are one of the earliest returning migrants in spring.
The beacon on the moor is situated next to the 17th century Mermaid Inn (no longer an inn) and looks down towards The Roaches. The Roaches is the name given to a prominent rocky ridge situated above the town of Leek and Tittesworth Reservoir in the Peak District of England. The ridge with its spectacular rock formations rises steeply to 505 m.
The shield is the badge (emblem) of Staffordshire Moorlands District. The Stafford Knot is seen above a Curlew which is standing on moorland heather. It is said the during the reign of Queen Elisabeth I, beacons were lit up and down the country warning of the imminent Spanish Armada’s attempted invasion.

Mount Robson is the most prominent mountain in North America's Rocky Mountain range; it is also the highest point in the Canadian Rockies - 3954m. The mountain is located entirely within Mount Robson Provincial Park of British Columbia, and is part of the Rainbow Range. Mount Robson is the second highest peak entirely in British Columbia, behind Mount Waddington in the Coast Range. The south face of Mount Robson is clearly visible from the Yellowhead Highway (Highway 16), and is commonly photographed along this route. This view can be reached by following a marked hiking trail - Berg Lake Trail. On a beautiful day you can take a helicopter ride to Robson pass and hike down all Berg Lake Trail, approx. 22 km.

The most prominent structure of this view of Washington Heights,one of many by Lawson,is of Washington Bridge completed in 1888 as a link between northern Manhattan and the Bronx over the Harlem River at 181st St (not to be confused with the George Washington Bridge over the Hudson River which opened in 1931).Lawson emphasized drama and design,not typographical accuracy.Looking toward the Bronx from the Manhattan riverbank,he eliminated the bridge's wide masonry arches-a great of modern engineering-and radically foreshortened the span on the Bronx side.Twilight and twinkling lights create a romantic mood.

Khandzta was a medieval Georgian monastery founded by Gregory of Khandzta (prominent Georgian ecclesiastic figure and a founder and leader of numerous monastic communities in Tao-Klarjeti) in 782 AD.
In 780 the future St Gregory of Khandzta moved to Tao-Klarjeti to revive Georgian monasticism in the region. He originally resided at the monastery of Opiza but then founded his own monastery at Khandzta in 782, and soon it became the center of monastic life in Tao-Klarjeti under his direction. Its influence lasted after his death in 861. In the 10th century, a local monk, Giorgi Merchule, wrote a Life of Gregory, celebrated as a masterpiece of Georgian medieval hagiography.
The first church at Khandzta was built of wood by Gregory and his companions. In 820, during the reign of Ashot I, a stone church was built to replace it by the nobleman Gabriel Dapanchuli. The present church seems to be a replacement again, dating from 918. The construction was completed in 941.
A freestanding bell-tower was added in the 16th century. From that time, the integration of the region into the Ottoman Empire and the active Islamisation of the population led to the decline of the monastery, and its eventual abandonment.
The Maple Prominent is a moth of the Notodontidae family. It is found throughout Britain and mainland Europe. The wingspan is 35–40 mm. The moths are on wing from May to July depending on the location. The larvae feed on Acer campestris and sometimes Acer pseudoplatanus.
This moth was found at only five locations in Gloucestershire in 2014 - all on the Cotswold Hills. This 20mm final instar caterpillar was bred from an egg laid by an adult Maple Prominent moth at Thrupp, Gloucestershire, in July 2015.

This beautiful steeple was built of fine bricks, slate roofing on top of Kalker Chapel. Four (golden) clocks are installed, one on each side of the steeple’s base.
The Kalker Chapel was rebuilt between 1948 and 1950 after it was destroyed in the Second World War . It has its origins in the early modern period around 1666/67. The chapel is located in the Kalk district at the junction of the Kalker Hauptstrasse and Kapellenstrasse, which branches off to the southeast in the direction of the Vingst district.
I have a colored version of this shot, which I will share later.
the facial disc is vinaceous brownish, with a prominent, orange-brown rim. The eyes are blackish-brown, and the bill cream-coloured.
The entire upperparts, including the wing-coverts, are dark brown with chocolate-brown patches and fine orange-buffish spots. The wings and tail are relatively short. The primaries, secondaries, and tail have a few narrow, darker bars.
The breast is golden-rufous, with blackish spots, becoming paler towards the belly, which is whitish.
Legs are feathered whitish-ochre to the base of the dark pinkish-grey toes. Claws are purple-grey.
Pioneer Peak is a 6,398 foot mountain in the Chugach Mountains in the Matanuska-Susitna (Mat-Su) Valley. I took this photo of Pioneer Peak from Reflections Lake next to the Knik River. You can see the snow capping the mountain. The snow covering has been expanding as rain comes through, as it snows at the higher elevations, and the coverage has slowly been moving down the mountain as winter approaches. You can see the effect of the wind as it passes the peak, condensing into cloud from the moisture as the snow on the mountain evaporates.
A prominent landmark in the Mat-Su Valley, Pioneer Peak was named for the pioneers of the Matanuska agricultural colony of the mid-1930s.

Edwards Place, built in 1833 and remodeled in 1857, is an historic house museum that tells the story of social and domestic life in Abraham Lincoln's Springfield, Illinois. Restored in 2015 to its antebellum glory, this Italianate mansion was one a center for social activity in Springfield. Prominent citizens and politicians such as Lincoln, Stephen A. Douglas, David Davis, and numerous governors, judges, lawyers, and politicians were entertained at lavish dinner parties and the grounds played host to many summer picnics and political rallies.
Edwards Place was the home of attorney Benjamin Edwards, youngest son of Governor Ninian Edwards and brother-in-law of Mary Lincoln’s sister Elizabeth. Although the Lincolns did not court or marry here, Edwards Place is currently home to the "courting couch" on which Lincoln and Mary Todd sat during the early days of their romance, originally the property of Ninian Edwards.
Edwards Place has been owned and operated by the Springfield Art Association, a private, non-profit visual arts organization, since 1913. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969.

DESCRIPTION OF HISTORIC PLACE
Gairloch Gardens is located at 1306 Lakeshore Road on the south side of Lakeshore Road, along the shore of Lake Ontario in the Town of Oakville. The property consists of a three storey stone and stucco residence that was constructed from 1923 to 1924.
The property was designated by the Town of Oakville in 1986 for its heritage value under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act (By-law 1986-192).
HERITAGE VALUE
Located at 1306 Lakeshore Road, Gairloch Gardens is a lake estate associated with two prominent Oakville locals. Colonel W.G. MacKendrick had the home built for his family in 1923. Upon his death, Toronto investment banker, James Gairdner, purchased the estate. Gairdner named the estate “Gairloch” after a small Scottish town. Upon Gairdner's death in 1972 the estate was bequeathed to the Town of Oakville for use as a park and gallery for contemporary artists.
Gairloch Gardens is a good example of Tudor style residence. Typical of this style is the stone and stucco exterior and steeply pitched roof. Continuing with this style are the tall narrow fenestrations with multi paned windows. The hip roof features a prominent cross gable with exposed beams between the first and second storey. The estate has many unique attributes such as a meandering stream, pond and formal gardens.
CHARACTER-DEFINING ELEMENTS
Character defining elements that contribute to the heritage value of Gairloch Gardens include the:
- proximity to Lake Ontario
- three storey stone and stucco exterior
- hip roof
- prominent cross gable
- original twelve and eighteen paned windows
- two large stone chimneys with decorative chimney pots
- exposed beams
- meandering stream
- pond
- formal garden areas within the park setting
These were the two most prominent feelings that flowed through me this morning as I stood alone here in front of the Wehl needle in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, waiting for the sunrise and taking in this magnificent view.
This, and a huge load of gratitude that I am able to stand in such places and experience such moments.
I brought back lots of photos from this trip. After all, I was here for more than three hours. So I'll save more background information for another time.
Dies waren die beiden vordergründigsten Gefühle, die mich heute früh durchströmten, als ich allein hier vor der Wehlnadel im Elbsandsteingebirge stand, auf den Sonnenaufgang wartete und diesen grandiosen Ausblick in mich einsog.
Dies, und eine riessige Ladung Dankbarkeit dafür, dass es mir vergönnt ist an solchen Orten zu stehen und solche Momente zu erleben.
Ich habe viele Fotos von diesem Ausflug mitgebracht. Immerhin war ich mehr als drei Stunden hier unterwegs. Also hebe ich mir weitere Hintergrundinformationen für ein anderes Mal auf.

The Devil's Tooth (Muella del Diablo) is in the middle. It is the last mountain.
Take some time off from the hustle and bustle of the city and visit Muela del Diablo, a distinct rock formation formed by an extinct volcano plug. Translated as the ‘Devil’s Molar’ in English, the formation was named due to its peculiar shape when viewed from certain vantage points. You can walk to the attraction in no more than half a day, regardless of your trekking experience.

This breeding summer migrant is present from September through to April.
A medium sized rather stocky dark bluish roller, which like most rollers likes to find a prominent perch from which to watch the world below. Has an upright posture and a large rather square head.
This one appears to be an adult male
