Maternal sweetnesses of the morning hour...
under skies that evoke the whims of Goya,
the cool trees move their emerald clothing
that the spring sun lavishly beautifies...
Children's voices sound... Clear water crystals...
trina the blackbird... In the street, the diligence creaks...
at this hour it seems that the blue sky will come down
a silky rain of peace and innocence...

Middelburg is the capital of the province of Zeeland and has a rich history, which is still evident. Middelburg was founded in the 9th century when the Vikings moved into Europe. In order to protect the island of Walcheren against invaders, a ringfort was built. After the threat of the land invaders was over, the fortress started to benefit from its convenient location on the water and developed into a commercial centre. Since this fortress was the centre (middle) fortress of Walcheren, it was given the name Middelburg.
At the time of the VOC, Middelburg was the second most important town in the Netherlands, after Amsterdam. In 200 years' time more than 300 new ships were built in the shipyards. These ships set sail to Asia to trade spices, textiles and porcelain. In the centre of Middelburg you can still find the buildings that recall this golden era. After a bombardment in 1940 where, in the consequential fire, much of the town was lost, Middelburg was rebuilt again in traditional style.
In addition to historical monuments you will also find an abundance of modern architecture. Middelburg is really a town with an individual character. There are intimate squares, lovely little streets, sociable bars and apart from the large chains you can also find many boutiques, galleries and art dealers.
At 9PM went for a walk with a friend to explore the area along the river. It was 15F (-9c) and 5.5 hours past sunset – not the best time for shooting, but I only had one night in town so wanted to make the most of it.
This is the Szczecin Province Office built in 1911 that sits upon a small hill and overlooks the river.
Along a central corridor, is a group of buildings thought to be a "House for Women" or “Virgins of the Sun.”
Women, who lived here were chosen as children to worked for the Royal Family and keep the temple clean. They were typically daughters of important members of the community and considered very beautiful.

Acllahuasi, term kichwa (Aclla = Escogida, Huasi = house 'House of the Chosen'), women dedicated directly to the service of the temple and their occupants, in charge of spinning, embroidering and making textiles, in addition to preparing food for the Inca and priests .
Architecturally it is about six rooms built with stones of good Inca stonework, arranged around several internal courtyards. Most of them are in foundations, unlike the main room located at the east end of the complex, which preserves the walls and access door in its entirety, inside it can be seen nineteen trapezoidal niches that decorate it.

Rare eagle breeding only in Spain and Portugal, with some immatures dispersing into North Africa. Very similar to the closely-related Imperial Eagle, but is darker overall and adults have a distinctive white leading wing edge on the shoulders which can been seen from below when flying. Juveniles are rufous and largely unstreaked on the upperwings, underwings, and the breast compared to the heavily streaked Imperial Eagles. Mostly found in remote forested landscapes, especially those with a high density of rabbits. (reference from e.bird )

This photo was a pivotal photo for me. Even though it is not as excellent or as sharp of a photo that I wish, wish, wish that I had taken, I recognize that the experience itself will always be something that I will cherish. How many people can say that they spent a half hour with a Lynx in the wild?
I think that every photographer probably has a “bucket list” of photos they would like to achieve. I too, have realized that I just might have one as well. I would love to photograph the Aurora Borealis, a Lion, an Eagle with a fish, an Owl with it’s supper, Lightning streaking across the sky, BigFoot, (Yup, I think I saw it - but that is another story), a Whale breaching, a Puffin, a Cougar, a Wolf, another Fox (I don’t want to get greedy though), an enchanted forest, deep in the woods with a mist rolling in, and perhaps, a Polar Bear - though I think I am done with bears for a while…
Oh, and I want to drive across Canada and take an amazing landscape that represents each province.
Well, I guess that’s it - for now anyway. Gotta go. My battery is charged and I have so much to see and so little time to get it into my camera…
La structure de 80 mètres de long sur 16 mètres de haut, est composée de quelque 35.000 planches en bois de toutes les couleurs.
L'oeuvre monumentale éphémère d'Arne Quinze " The Passenger", érigée tout près de la Grand-Place de Mons en ouverture du projet culturel "Mons 2015, Capitale européenne de la Culture" a été entièrement démontée à partir du 12 avril 2021.
"Pour l'artiste, le vide créé par l'oeuvre une fois enlevée fait partie intégrante de sa démarche artistique", a indiqué la Fondation Mons 2025. "Le vide est comme un point de départ d'une nouvelle façon de penser à la manière de rendre nos espaces publics plus diversifiés". Comme annoncé lors de sa conception, les composants de "The Passenger" seront recyclés: le bois utilisé dans la structure sera transformé en pâte à papier et les vis seront récupérées.
The structure, 80 meters long and 16 meters high, is made up of some 35,000 wooden planks of all colors.
The ephemeral monumental work of Arne Quinze "The Passenger", erected near the Grand-Place in Mons at the opening of the cultural project "Mons 2015, European Capital of Culture" has been completely dismantled from April 12, 2021.
"For the artist, the void created by the work once removed is an integral part of his artistic approach," said the Mons 2025 Foundation. "The void is like a starting point for a new way of thinking about the way of making our public spaces more diversified ". As announced during its design, the components of "The Passenger" will be recycled: the wood used in the structure will be transformed into paper pulp and the screws will be recovered.

شهر لار یکی از شهرهای باستانی استان فارس می باشد که متاسفانه در سال 1339 بر اثر زلزله آسیب فراوان دید. اما تعدادی از آثار با ارزش قدیمی این شهر پس از گذشت زلزله خوشبختانه سرپا ماندند که بعدها برخی از آنها بازسازی شدند
لازم به ذکر است که شهر لار بعد از زلزله به دو بخش جدید و قدیم تقسیم شدند که بخش قدیم با مهندسی روز و با شهرسازی مناسب به همراه خانه های مقاوم ساخته شدند ولی دلبستگی مرد و بخصوص کسبه به بازار باعث شد که قسمت قدیم نیز کم کم بازسازی شوند
دو اثر تاریخی دژ اژدها پیکر که یادگاری از دوران ساسانی است و آرامگاه منسوب به مادر نادر شاه که قدمت آن به دوره تیموری و یا اوایل صفویه بر میگردد از جاذبه های تاریخی شهر هستند
به دلیل اهمیت دژ این قلعه تا قرنها بعد از دوران ساسانی، نیز استفاده میشده و امروزه به دلیل زلزله ها و جنگهای مختلف و البته کم توجهی مسئولین میراث فرهنگی شرایط خوبی ندارد. در حالیکه اگر این دژ مرمت شود میتواند به یکی از جاذبه های مهم ایران تبدیل شود .
آرامگاه منسوب به مادر نادرشاه اگر چه مشخص نیست که آرامگاه چه کسی بوده ولی بر اساس باورهای محلی این آرامگاه متعلق به مادر نادرشاه بوده که به شکل عامیانه "ننه نادر شاه" گفته میشود
این آرامگاه بر روی یک سکوی سنگی (لاشه سنگ) ساخته شده و احتمالا در گذشته های دور یکی از چهارطاقی های شهر لار بر روی این سکو وجود داشته ولی بعد ها و با تخریب آن آتشکده این آرامگاه زیبا ساخته شده که از دو قسمت مقبره و نماز خانه ستوندار در زیر آن تشکیل شده است
Trillo is a Spanish municipality in the province of Guadalajara, located on the banks of the Tagus River, in the region of La Alcarria. It has a population of 1355 inhabitants (INE 2017). In addition to the municipal capital, the districts of Azañón, Morillejo, La Puerta and Viana de Mondéjar are part of Trillo.
Already in Roman times Trillo was a known population, being located in the border region between Carpetania and Celtiberia. Its settlement was consolidated after the Reconquista at the end of the eleventh century when Alfonso VI the Brave was King when it became part of the Common of the Villa and Land of Atienza, ruling by its Jurisdiction.
In 1325, the Infante Don Juan Manuel built the castle whose ruins crown the nucleus. In the middle of the fifteenth century it passed into the jurisdiction of the Counts of Cifuentes, until, in 1630, Trillo was declared a town with its own jurisdiction.
In the sixteenth century the churches of Trillo, Azañón and Morillejo were built. During centuries it was a prosperous town and in 1580 its population reached the 320 inhabitants, according to the census realized in times of Felipe II. Its decline came at the beginning of the eighteenth century with the War of Succession. The mountains and fields were cut down, cattle and hives were destroyed, and more than two hundred houses were burned, which led to a drastic decline in its population from 1752 to 82 inhabitants.
Already in the twentieth century, the construction of the Trillo nuclear power plant, inaugurated in 1987, meant the economic revitalization of the municipality. It is currently the most modern nuclear power plant in Spain. (Source: Wikipedia).
Trillo es un municipio español de la provincia de Guadalajara, situado a orillas del río Tajo, en la comarca de La Alcarria. Cuenta con una población de 1355 habitantes (INE 2017). Además de la capital municipal, forman parte de Trillo las pedanías de Azañón, Morillejo, La Puerta y Viana de Mondéjar.
Ya en época romana Trillo era una población conocida, estando situada en la región fronteriza entre Carpetania y Celtiberia. Su poblamiento se consolidó tras la Reconquista —a finales del siglo xi siendo monarca Alfonso VI el Bravo— cuando pasó a formar parte del Común de la Villa y Tierra de Atienza, rigiéndose por su Fuero.
En 1325, el infante Don Juan Manuel construyó el castillo cuyas ruinas coronan el núcleo. A mediados del siglo xv pasó a la jurisdicción de los Condes de Cifuentes, hasta que, en 1630, Trillo fue declarada villa con jurisdicción propia.
En el siglo xvi se construyeron las iglesias de Trillo, Azañón y Morillejo. Durante siglos fue una próspera villa y en 1580 su población alcanzaba los 320 habitantes, de acuerdo al censo realizado en tiempos de Felipe II. Su decadencia llegó a principios del siglo xviii con la Guerra de Sucesión. Se talaron sus montes y plantíos, se destruyeron ganados y colmenas, y fueron quemadas más de doscientas casas, lo que conllevó un drástico descenso de su población de 1752 a 82 habitantes.
Ya en el siglo xx, la construcción de la central nuclear de Trillo, inaugurada en 1987, supuso la revitalización económica del municipio. Actualmente es la central nuclear más moderna de España. ( Fuente : Wikipedia)
