The Amelander commanders' houses on the Dutch Wadden island of Ameland were inhabitated by the commanders (captains) on the ships involved in whaling.
These commanders were able to build stone houses due to their high incomes.
This cottage dates from 1735 and the year can be read on the wall anchors on the front facade.
The cottages were constructed with a gable and saddle roof and the brickwork was done in "Frisian Yellow" an old hand-formed brick type, while they were single-storeyed and the large attic space under the roof served as a storage space.
The original layout on the ground floor was limited to a long corridor along the length of the house and a living toom with an area of 20 m2, while on the opposite side there were two box beds.
The clearly recognisable two legdes on the front facade indicate that a commander of whaling lived here and these were held in high esteem by the locals.
Between the two windows on the front facade, you can recognise the soot of the fireplace that stood inside on this spot.
Oh I wish this had been true. No leopards on this safari, but lots of wonderful scenes in the beautiful wilderness of Botswana.
Several folks have mentioned recently that the animals look so happy. I know that zoos serve their purpose in way, BUT animals shouldn't be in captivity. If one is fortunate enough to go on safari, the one thing that will strike you the most is the happiness of the animals.
There really is a difference and it is particularly noticeable in peaceful Botswana. Visitors are limited and the animals are protected by the army and the staff of the wildlife preserves.

Ursprünglich wurde das Wasserschloss als Unterkunft und Werkstatt für die Hafenarbeiter genutzt, welche die Wartung und Reparatur der hydraulischen Speicherwinden ausführten. Sie wurden Windenwärter bzw. Windenwächter genannt und hatten – neben anderem technischen Personal – das Privileg, in der Speicherstadt wohnen zu dürfen.
Die Winden waren ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Speicherhäuser: Es gab – und gibt bis heute – keine Lastenaufzüge. Sämtliche Waren wurden mit Winden außen an den Fassaden zu bzw. von den Lagerböden der Speicher gezogen.
Die für die Wartungsarbeiten erforderlichen, zum Teil schweren Ersatzteile konnten von hier aus über die Straßen und Kanäle transportiert werden. Auf dem Wasserweg über zwei Kräne an der Ostseite des Gebäudes, zu Land über eine alte Pflasterstraße, die direkt in das Gebäude führt und hinter den großen Flügeltüren des Wasserschlösschens endet.
Heutzutage wird das Gebäude gewerblich genutzt. Im Erdgeschoss befindet sich eine Gewerbefläche für Teehandel mit angeschlossener Gastronomie. In der ersten Etage ist ein Anbieter für Sauerstofftherapie ansässig. Wegen seiner Lage und Architektur diente es auch als Kulisse für Fernsehproduktionen, beispielsweise für die TV-Kinderserie „Die Pfefferkörner“.
Das Wasserschlösschen firmiert außerdem als „Außentraustelle“ des Standesamts Hamburg–Mitte.
Originally the moated castle was used as a shelter and workshop for the dockers, who carried out the maintenance and repair of the hydraulic storage winches. They were called Windenwächter or Windenwächter and had - in addition to other technical personnel - the privilege to live in the Speicherstadt.
The winches were an important component of the storage buildings: there were - and still are today - no freight elevators. All goods were drawn with winches on the outside to the facades to or from the storage floors of the store.
The spare parts required for the maintenance work, some of them heavy, could be transported from here over the roads and canals. On the waterway over two cranes on the east side of the building, on land over an old paved road that leads directly into the building and ends behind the large double doors of the water castle.
Nowadays the building is used commercially. On the ground floor there is a commercial space for tea trade with attached gastronomy. On the first floor, a provider of oxygen therapy is located. Because of its location and architecture, it also served as a backdrop for television productions, such as the TV series "Die Pfefferkörner".
The Wasserschlösschen also trades under the name "Außenentraustelle" of the registry office Hamburg-Mitte.
This image serves as a call to action, urging us to acknowledge the existence of marginalized communities and their struggle for basic necessities. It prompts reflection on the systemic issues that perpetuate poverty and the need for collective efforts to create a more equitable world. While the girl's identity remains anonymous, her indomitable spirit shines through, leaving a lasting impact on those who encounter her gaze.
Trapezia Crab Spider (Sidymella trapezia)
I have been seeing a number of these Crab Spiders in the garden recently. This one had caught a fly for dinner late yesterday afternoon on one of our African Daisies.

Thee drinken bij Tilly Rose in Vlissingen. Op een regenachtige vakantie dag in maart 2023.
Het meest schattige theehuisje waar ik ooit geweest ben. Waar ze een groot assortiment theepotten hebben in allerlei vormen en de grootste stukken taart serveren.

A simple meal of cheese, apple and bread. While simple, the Canadian cheddar, Honey crisp apples and home-made whole wheat molasses bread, make it delicious.
Typical Swedish starter, "SOS" - Smör - Ost - Sill (butter - cheese - herring), toghether with beer and snaps.

La iglesia de San Andrés en Aguilar de Campoo (Palencia) – Spain; es una iglesia románica de principios del siglo XIII, y en el año 1909 se trasladó a las afueras al barrio de Soto, para que hiciera las funciones de capilla en el cementerio de aquel entonces en las afueras de la ciudad.
La portada, separada del resto del edificio, consta de un arco de medio punto con cuatro arquivoltas decoradas con dientes de sierra, zigzag y elementos vegetales, además de cuatro columnas con sus sencillos capiteles.

The church of San Andrés in Aguilar de Campoo (Palencia) – Spain; it is a Romanesque church from the beginning of the 13th century, and in 1909 it was moved to the outskirts of the Soto neighborhood, so that it would serve as a chapel in the cemetery at that time on the outskirts of the city.
The portal, separated from the rest of the building, consists of a semicircular arch with four archivolts decorated with saw teeth, zigzag and plant elements, as well as four columns with their simple capitals
This is not the right way
Some have said that I was given keys to the city of your dreams
I'm more content to walk outside the walls and catch a breeze
I'm more inclined to climb on by or ride internal seas
I'm more alive to vibe inside a mansion full of trees
I do this for a reason that they can't pretend to glean
I lose myself infused in something more than what they've seen
I'm not a slave to greed
I don't embrace your make believe
I've never been for sale no matter what they think I need
So let it be decreed
Let this music serve the deed
Let it spread like a disease
Let it spawn a noble seed
There's more than meets the eye
There's more than meets the price
If you can't see the sky there's too much artificial light
I can't predict my path, but they can't fully see my past
I'm running from the flash but heading straight inside the blast
A mountain full of ego built upon a heap of trash
Is exactly what you get when you can't fully do the math
This is not the right way
But this is my way
ENG: You can see the Tram TM 36 (3587) of the Berlin Transport Company (BVG) in front of the Kleinmachnower lock directly at the river Teltow canal and dates back to 1938. This now serves as an information center of the regional heritage association. Part of the lock building can also be seen in the background.
It is part of the Tram (Street Car) line 96, which once connected Behrenstrasse in Berlin Mitte and Tempelhof with Teltow, Stahnsdorf and Kleinmachnow. In 1887, a 5-kilometer streetcar line was built from Groß-Lichterfelde, now called Lichterfelde-Ost, to Teltow. It was initially single-tracked and required a travel time of 30 minutes. Four years later, the line was extended to Stahnsdorf and in 1905 to Machnower Schleuse. The steam vehicles (also known as lame ducks) were not very powerful at the time, so the line was converted to electric operation in 1907. From 1930, it then drove as line 96. But with the construction of the Berlin Wall, the Tram operation was unfortunately discontinued. Since 2012, the car is open to visitors after extensive renovation.

GER: Zu sehen ist der Triebwagen TM 36 (3587) der Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) vor der Kleinmachnower Schleuse direkt am Teltow-Kanal und stammt aus dem Jahr 1938. Dieser dient jetzt als Informationszentrum des regionalen Heimatvereins. Im Hintergrund ist auch ein Teil des Schleusen Gebäudes zu sehen.
Er ist ein Teil der Bahn Linie 96, die einst die Behrenstraße in Berlin Mitte und Tempelhof mit Teltow, Stahnsdorf und Kleinmachnow verband. 1887 wurde eine 5 Kilometer lange Straßenbahnstrecke von Groß-Lichterfelde, heute heißt es Lichterfelde-Ost, nach Teltow gebaut. Sie war zunächst eingleisig und benötigte eine Fahrzeit von 30 Minuten. Vier Jahre später wurde die Strecke dann bis Stahnsdorf und 1905 bis zur Machnower Schleuse verlängert. Sehr kraftvoll fuhren die Dampffahrzeuge (auch lahme Enten gennant) damals nicht gerade, daher wurde 1907 die Bahn dann auf elektrischen Betrieb umgestellt. Ab 1930 fuhr sie dann als Linie 96. Doch mit dem Bau der Berliner Mauer wurde der Straßenbahnbetrieb leider eingestellt. Seit 2012 steht der Wagen nach umfassender Sanierung für Besucher offen.
Returning from fishing, a manu o ku serves up a breakfast of colorful, translucent larval fish to its nestling. The manu o Kū, bird of the war god Kū, catches fish and squid, often alternating heads and tails after multiple sequential captures. Manu o Kū is also known throughout the tropics as the white tern (Gygis alba). They are arboreal nesting seabirds, though no nest is actually constructed. These terns lay a single egg in a hollow or forked branch of a tree to incubate and raise a chick. Strong sharp claws and reduced webbing on their feet facilitate clutching the bare branch.
The statues represent the principal cities served by Chemin de Fer du Nord, the largest central figure representing Paris.

Vi ho già parlato di loro, Milo Isabel e Kenia, ma mentre altri hanno trovato adozione, loro si trovano ancora al Rifugio Ohana di Banda a 4 Zampe Umbria.
Lei è Isabel, una cagnolina bionda e di piccola taglia che è al rifugio con la mamma Danielle. E' più timidina della mamma, ma ora comincia anche a uscire in passeggiata, e con un po' di pazienza si farà coraggio. Ad ogni modo non verrà data in adozione da sola, ma con la mamma. Non è molto dolce?
