Diese robuste, widerstandsfähige und abgehärtete Pferderasse wird in der Wistinghauser Senne bei Oerlinghausen zusammen mit Schottischen Hochlandrindern zur Waldbeweidung eingesetzt. Durch Verbiss und Tritt sollen sie dauerhaft mehr Licht und somit mehr Wärme an den Waldboden bringen. Damit soll die historische Heidelandschaft wieder hergestellt werden.

El Castillo de Almadén fue levantado en el S. XII en tiempos de la dominación musulmana. Estaba situado en un alto y tenía características de fortaleza defensiva para preservar la riqueza minera del asentamiento. En el S. XVI, experimentó profundas reformas así como en el S. XIX que fue cuando se construyó la torre-campanario que se puede apreciar en la imagen. Actualmente, del antiguo castillo únicamente queda la robusta muralla y la torre, antes mencionada, que es un elemento único dentro de estos edificios; el amplio perímetro que incluía la población en su interior ha desaparecido y solo se aprecia la potencia de alguno de sus muros construidos en cal y canto.

Beautiful Guastavino tilework in a spiral staircase at the Cathedral Of St. John the Divine
Guastavino was a Spanish immigrant whose tilework is very distinctive.
From Wikipedia:
Based on the Catalan vault, he created the Guastavino tile, a "Tile Arch System", patented in the United States in 1885, which was used for constructing robust, self-supporting arches and architectural vaults using interlocking terracotta tiles and layers of mortar. His work appears in numerous prominent projects designed by major architectural firms in New York and other cities of the Northeast. Guastavino tile is found in some of New York's most prominent Beaux-Arts landmarks and in major buildings across the United States. It is also used in numerous architecturally important and famous buildings with vaulted spaces.
Es handelt sich um eine robuste Rasse des Hausrindes, die ursprünglich aus dem Nordwesten Schottlands stammt und seit 1884 als Rasse registriert ist.
Charakteristisch für Schottische Hochlandrinder ist ihr langes, zotteliges Fell, das sie vor rauen Wetterbedingungen schützt.
Sie sind bekannt für ihre Anpassungsfähigkeit an karge Weiden und ihre Eignung für die ganzjährige Freilandhaltung.
Obwohl sie den Galloways ähneln, haben Schottische Hochlandrinder Hörner, während Galloways hornlos sind.
This robust skipper was having a great time eagerly sipping nectar from the blooms of Autumn Olive (Elaeagnus umbellatus), a deciduous shrub native to Asia introduced into the U.S. as an ornamental plant in 1830.
Regrettably, Autumn Olive is highly adaptable and resilient spreading uncontrollably in the warming climate of the Mid-Atlantic states where entire alleys of this large shrub can be found along forest edges, in sunny clearings and meadows and along fence rows and roadsides. With enticingly fragrant flowers, Autumn Olive attracts pollinators in early spring and later in the fall it attracts birds that help to disperse its abundant fruit.

Fuerte y robusta ha de ser
para mantener dos poderes
y defenderlos del mar.
Difícil de escalar
para quien desde el mar viene.
Sólo le queda rendir
pleitesía a ambos poderes,
que no se sabe quién tiene
el poder y la defensa,
más ambos desde lo alto
se muestran como valientes
sobre esas aguas azules
que van minando su base
y puede hacerles zozobrar.
... I hope you'll have a good one!

🇫🇷 La porte était bien défendue par de nombreuses barrières, trois portes robustes et deux volets. Pour la défense d'en haut, une série de corbeaux supportait un échafaudage en bois .Le mécanisme de fonctionnement de la herse est toujours présent
🇬🇧 The gate was well defended by numerous barriers, three strong doors and two shutters. To defend the gate from above, a series of corbels supported a wooden scaffold and the mechanism for operating the portcullis can still be seen today.
🇮🇹 La porta era ben difesa da numerose barriere, tre robuste porte e due saracinesche. Per difendere la porta dall'alto, una serie di mensole sosteneva un'impalcatura di legno, il cui meccanismo di funzionamento è ancora oggi visibile.
🇩🇪 Das Tor war durch zahlreiche Schranken, drei starke Türen und zwei Fensterläden gut gesichert. Zur Verteidigung von oben trug eine Reihe von Kragsteinen ein Holzgerüst. Der Mechanismus des Fallgatters ist noch vorhanden.
🇪🇸 La puerta estaba bien defendida por numerosas barreras: tres robustas puertas y dos postigos. Para defenderla desde arriba, una serie de ménsulas sostenían un andamio de madera, y todavía se puede ver hoy en día el mecanismo de funcionamiento del rastrillo.

UN BENE PREZIOSO
_______________________________________________
Nel 2009, visitando la splendida Holbox,
mi resi conto di quanto fragili potessero essere certi equilibri millenari.
Parlando con la gente dell'isola mi accorsi che nella loro dolcezza d'animo si nascondeva un'inquietudine soffusa.
Il progresso "azzannava" sempre più l'isola,
insinuando tentacoli che prendevano le più disparate sembianze.
Noi turisti stavamo cambiando le loro secolari abitudini.
Lo facevamo senza averne una percezione precisa.
Ma già allora qualcosa covava sotto la cenere... si chiamava profitto.
Oggi 2021 ho voluto sincerarmi delle mie sensazioni latenti.
Come temevo non avevo sbagliato.
Su questo paradiso terrestre,
dove numerosi animali in via di estinzione e piante protette perpetuano il loro ciclo vitale,
incombe un’ombra che rischia di far saltare l’ecosistema.
È il progetto di costruzione di un complesso turistico enorme,
ben 980 ettari lungo l’Ensenada, addirittura, all’interno della riserva naturale.
La richiesta è stata presentata da un gruppo d'imprenditori Messicani già dal 2012.
Per ora è tutto sospeso.
In attesa del responso del ministero dell’Ambiente,
che deve valutarne l’impatto ambientale.
La minaccia alle aree protette del Messico è del resto ben reale.
Solo gli ingenui potevano pensare che si sarebbe fermata davanti alle pur robuste proteste degli ambientalisti.
Perfino una parte della popolazione,
in tutto duemila anime, che risiedono su un atollo di cinquanta chilometri quadri si è lasciata attrarre dai soldi offerti dal consorzio ed ha venduto i propri terreni.
Secoli, millenni di meraviglioso equilibrio,
rischiano sempre più di essere spazzati via da un esercito di ruspe distruttrici.

A photo I took at the end of last year that I have been saving in the hope it would do well in some photography competitions. This was a huge fluke, I was practicing a technique that is very difficult to master. The plan was to take three horizontal shots in order to stitch a vertical panorama with the Robust Dtella (Gehyra robusta) in the foreground. Somehow on the second shot I managed to capture the meteorite. Mount Isa, QLD.

Sind robuste und sehr blühfreudige Gartensträucher.Forsythien werden auch Goldglöckchen genannt und sind zwei bis drei Meter hohe Blütensträucher.Sie wachsen auf fast jedem Boden und blühen meist ab März in großer Fülle.Sie gehören zur Familie der Ölbaumgewächse.
In the celebrated metropolis of London, during the year 1837, an era wherein steam reigned as the sovereign of invention and the harbinger of man's mastery over nature, there was convened a conclave of women unparalleled in their intellect and indomitable in their courage. The Aetherian Coalescence, they were titled, each a luminary in her own right, united under the banner of progress and the pursuit of the ethereal realms.
Lady Penelope Hargreaves, the scion of a lineage graced with the acumen of engineering, her hands adept at weaving the intricate lattices of clockwork that gave pulse to their airborne leviathan. Dr. Arabella Swithenbank, whose steam engines thrummed with a vigor that was the very essence of Prometheus’ fire. Miss Theodosia Barrow , an enchantress of the voltaic forces, her devices casting the brilliance of a thousand captured lightning bolts across the span of their craft. Dame Guinevere Loxley, the cartographer whose charts rivalled the celestial maps of the ancients, a guiding star in their odyssey. And Miss Isambard Brunella, a machinist of such deftness that her creations spoke of a harmony between the artisan's touch and the unyielding metals of the earth.
The vessel of their dreams, "The Celestial Peregrine," stood poised upon the cusp of dawn, her silhouette a testament to humanity's ascendancy over the bonds of gravity, her engines a symphony of steam and steel. As the first light of morning kissed the Thames, the airship ascended, a ballet of gears and gales, into the empyrean canvas above.
Yet, as is the wont of fate, the skies unveiled their tempestuous heart, challenging these daughters of Icarus with a squall of such ferocity that it seemed as though the firmament itself sought to reclaim its dominion from the hands of mortals. But amidst the maelstrom, the resolve of The Aetherian Coalescence shone with the steadfastness of the North Star, and it was by their unity and the fortitude of their creation that “The Celestial Peregrine” was guided safely through the tumult, descending not in wreckage upon the tumultuous sea but upon the embrace of the verdant earth with the grace of a nightingale alighting upon its nest.
From this odyssey emerged a revelation, a spark of genius that would illuminate the path of progress henceforth. They devised an apparatus, a marvel of valvular alchemy, which would render the steam engines of the future not only more robust against the caprices of the tempest but also more gracious in their consumption of the coals that fed them. This mechanism, born from the exigencies of their voyage, became the cornerstone of an epoch wherein the skies teemed with the silhouettes of airships, each a scion of "The Celestial Peregrine," carrying aloft not only the affluent but all who yearned for the splendor of the heavens.
Thus, The Aetherian Coalescence had not simply touched the skies; they had transmuted the very fabric of human aspiration, setting the celestial highways abuzz with the promise of adventures untold. It was a testament to the boundless potential when the ingenuity of the human spirit is applied to the realms of the possible, and it was in this spirit that the age of aerial travel flourished, under the watchful eyes of the five who had first chartered its course.
ROBUST AND FAMILIAR SEABIRD, best know for its large and densely packed cliff breeding colonies, seen at Skomer Island, Swims well and dives frequently. It flies on whirring wingbeats, and the relatively narrow wings are also used when swimming underwater . The voice is amazing, utters nasal, growling calls at the breeding colonies. Suffers badly during oil spills, many years ago I took 13 oiled birds, in a short period, from the sea wall at Reculvers, Kent, to be cleaned at the Observatory at Sandwich.

The robust Agapanthus africanus and its numerous cultivars are very common park and garden plants throughout Australia. Typical flower clusters are 150-180mm wide. Equipped with a large underground stem and fleshy root system Agapanthus survives well in fairly dry conditions, along driveways into farm houses for example. It is referred to as 'naturalised'. Because it is almost a garden cliche its striking colours, especially in sunlight, can be forgotten.
This uncommon species is found in coastal reefs and weedy areas or lagoon reefs, often on algal flats or seagrass beds. Monogamous, always in pairs. Females carry the eggs in their pelvic fins that are modified to form a brood pouch. Feed on small crustaceans. This one is a red young female variation, relatively rare.
