6th attempt (out of 7 in total) succeeded to render both the sense of the abandoned house and the withered ivy which has grabbed a good portion of its outside and inside walls. The lil green portion visible on the bottom left side of the window is an ivy from the inside of the home where the plants are alive and keep growing.
The Haiku I've written related to my photo is enclosed in a comment box below. Here's the prose:
Nature exploding, grabbing everything, even what's dead or abandoned. Nature keeps going, growing, developing, spreading a sense of life...That's very comforting. Even here, although the ivy has gone, dried up, it can be seen in the inside of the house it's alive and keeps growing, even in conditions of almost absence of light, apart the presence of a hole where once there was a window. Now the window is leaning inside, the glass is broken into sections, recalling a guillotine as saying "don't come inside!" Ok ok, just my imagination for a storytelling...
I would have never imagined I could sort out something beautiful from such ruins... Here, I framed exactly the centre of the window hole, I could move my hand with a rather drastic precision, therefore the result came out spectacular.
Notice also: I've done nightime, the soltice time could still let me see in darkness. It was 9.40 pm CET+1
I know this effect can be obtained digitally, but, do it yourself manually and, if you succeed, savor the satisfaction ;-)

Castle Heeswijk is water citadel former at Heeswijk from the 11th century. The castle had been restored in 2005. Already in the year 1080 there a preamble of the current castle, so-called motte-burcht arose. In the course of the middle ages the motte (castle hillock) were blunted and on the place of the citadel a castle were built. Castle Heeswijk several times have played a role in the history. It did not succeed prince Maurits around 1600 up to two times to take the castle. It's halfbrother Frederik Hendrik succeeded in this in 1629, however, in, so that he could besiege then s' Hertogenbosch. In 1672 the sun king Lodewijk XIV the uninvited guest on castle Heeswijk were during its fight against the republic. On the end of the 18th century Pichegru, general still used the castle of the French revolution under the guidance of Napoleon, as a headquarter. In 1835, André bought baron of pine Bogaerde of Terbrugge the castle touched in decline and started immediately a massive reconstruction. For its growing collection art objects and curiosa, of him and of its sons, the noblemen Louis and Donat, the castle was extended with among other things the weapon room and the Irontower.
The current castle museum gives a picture of the life sitation and the collect tradion from the middle of the 19th century. After the recent restorations there meanwhile guided tours by the castle are possible. The weapon room of the castle does service as official marrylocation of the municipality Bernheze. In under the promenade cellar roofs lain (marry)partys and receptions are given and the carriage house of castle accommodate Heeswijk - and training facilities as well as congress - and presentation spaces meet.
if you want to see the castle and you use a car navigator is the end destiny is the Gouverneursweg, Heeswijk-Dinther
Kasteel Heeswijk is laying on circa 10 minutes from 's Hertogenbosch en 20 minutes from Eindhoven.

"Einsiedeln Abbey (German: Kloster Einsiedeln) is a Benedictine monastery in the village of Einsiedeln in the canton of Schwyz, Switzerland. The abbey is dedicated to Our Lady of the Hermits, the title being derived from the circumstances of its foundation, for the first inhabitant of the region was Saint Meinrad, a hermit. It is a territorial abbey and, therefore, not part of a diocese, subject to a bishop. It has been a major resting point on the Way of St. James for centuries.
Meinrad was educated under his kinsmen, Abbots Hatto and Erlebald, at the abbey school at Reichenau, an island on Lake Constance, where he became a monk and was ordained a priest. After some years at Reichenau, and at a dependent priory on Lake Zurich, he embraced an eremitical life and established his hermitage on the slopes of mount Etzel. He died on January 21, 861, at the hands of two robbers who thought that the hermit had some precious treasures, but during the next 80 years the place was never without one or more hermits emulating Meinrad's example. One of them, named Eberhard, previously Provost of Strassburg, in 934 erected a monastery and church there, of which he became first abbot.
The church is alleged to have been miraculously consecrated, so the legend runs, in 948, by Christ himself assisted by the Four Evangelists, St. Peter, and St. Gregory the Great. This event was investigated and confirmed by Pope Leo VIII and subsequently ratified by many of his successors, the last ratification being by Pope Pius VI in 1793, who confirmed the acts of all his predecessors.
In 965 Gregory, the third Abbot of Einsiedeln, was made a prince of the Holy Roman Empire by Emperor Otto I, and his successors continued to enjoy the same dignity up to the cessation of the empire in the beginning of the 19th century. In 1274 the abbey, with its dependencies, was created an independent principality by Rudolf I of Germany, over which the abbot exercised temporal as well as spiritual jurisdiction. It remained independent until 1798, the year of the French invasion. It is still a territorial abbey, meaning that it is located in a territory that is not part of any diocese which the abbot governs "as its proper pastor" (Canon 370, Codex Juris Canonici) with the same authority as a diocesan bishop.
Einsiedeln has been famous for a thousand years, for the learning and piety of its monks, and many saints and scholars have lived within its walls. The study of letters, printing, and music have greatly flourished there, and the abbey has contributed largely to the celebrity of the Benedictine Order. It is true that discipline declined somewhat in the fifteenth century and the rule became relaxed, but Ludovicus II, a monk of St. Gall who was Abbot of Einsiedeln 1526-44, succeeded in restoring a stricter observance.
In the 16th century the religious disturbances caused by the spread of the Protestant Reformation in Switzerland were a source of trouble for some time. Zwingli himself was at Einsiedeln for a while, and used the opportunity for protesting against the famous pilgrimages, but the storm passed over and the abbey was left in peace. Abbot Augustine I (1600–29) was the leader of the movement which resulted in the erection of the Swiss Congregation of the Order of St. Benedict in 1602, and he also did much for the establishment of unrelaxed observance in the abbey and for the promotion of a high standard of scholarship and learning amongst his monks.
The pilgrimages which have never ceased since the days of St Meinrad, have tended to make Einsiedeln on a par with the Holy House of Loreto and Santiago de Compostela, serving as a major stopping point on the Way of St. James leading there. Pilgrimages constitute one of the features for which the abbey is chiefly celebrated. The pilgrims number around one million, from all parts of Catholic Europe or even further. The statue of Our Lady from the 15th century, enthroned in the little chapel erected by Eberhard, is the object of their devotion. It is the subject of the earliest preserved print of pilgrimage, by the Master E.S. in 1466. The chapel stands within the great abbey church, in much the same way as the Holy House at Loreto is encased in a marble shrine and is elaborately decorated.
September 14 and October 13 are the chief pilgrimage days, the former being the anniversary of the miraculous consecration of Eberhard's basilica and the latter that of the translation of St Meinrad's relics from Reichenau Island to Einsiedeln in 1039. The millennium of St Meinrad was kept there with great splendour in 1861 as well as that of the Benedictine monastery in 1934. The great church has been many times rebuilt, the last time by Abbot Maurus between the years 1704 and 1719. The last big renovation ended after more than twenty years in 1997. The library contains nearly 250,000 volumes and many priceless manuscripts. The work of the monks is divided chiefly between prayer, work and study. At pilgrimage times the number of confessions heard is very large.
In 2013 the community numbered 60 monks. Attached to the abbey are a seminary and a college for about 360 pupils who are partially taught by the monks, who also provide spiritual direction for six convents of Religious Sisters." - info from Wikipedia.

There are few monastic ruins as beautiful as Rievaulx, the idyllic rural setting and good preservation of so much of the Abbey complex leave it with few peers, amongst the most majestic and dramatic ruined abbeys in the country.
The earliest parts of the Abbey church date back to the Norman period and suggest an austere building in line with Cistercian practice, however only the nave survived a major rebuilding campaign in the 13th century and this too has since succumbed to the hand of history, leaving us instead with the remarkable Early English Gothic choir and transepts, the defining features of the Abbey today.
There are significant portions surviving of the monastic complex, the grandest being the 13th century refectory. The remote location of the Abbey in part accounts for its good state of preservation, much less has been quarried away by succeeding generations following the Dissolution.
A visit to the Abbey isn't complete without a visit to the small on-site museum that opened in recent years and contains various interesting finds from the abbey-church.
There is always something melancholy about our ruined abbeys and priories, even the more complete ones like this. It is impossible not to mourn something of its faded glory and the cruel deprivations of Henry VIII's reign, but enough remains to enjoy this architectural jewel.
Guidobaldo, also known as Guidobaldo I, was an Italian condottiero and the Duke of Urbino from 1482 to 1508.
Born in Gubbio, he succeeded his father Federico da Montefeltro as Duke of Urbino in 1482.
Guidobaldo married Elisabetta Gonzaga, the sister of Francesco II Gonzaga, Marquis of Mantua. Guidobaldo was impotent, and they had no children, but Elisabetta refused to divorce him.
He fought as one of Pope Alexander VI's captains alongside the French troops of King Charles VIII of France during the latter's invasion of southern Italy; later, he was hired by the Republic of Venice against Charles. In 1496, while fighting for the pope near Bracciano, Guidobaldo was taken prisoner by the Orsini and the Vitelli, being freed the following year.
Guidobaldo was forced to flee Urbino in 1502 to escape the armies of Cesare Borgia, but returned after the death of Cesare Borgia's father, Pope Alexander VI, in 1503. He adopted as his heir Francesco Maria della Rovere, his sister's child and nephew of Pope Julius II, thus uniting the seigniory of Senigallia with Urbino. He aided Pope Julius II in reconquering the Romagna.
The court of Urbino was at that time one of the most refined and elegant in Italy. Many men of letters met there. The Italo-English historian Polydore Vergil may have worked in the service of Guidobaldo and Elisabetta as well as Baldassare Castiglione, the author of the book The Book of the Courtier, which describes the court of Urbino.
Suffering from gout, Guidobaldo died in Fossombrone at the age of 36, and was succeeded by his nephew.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elora,_Ontario
The Historic Village of Elora is a community in the township of Centre Wellington (Wellington County) in the Province of Ontario, Canada. It is well known for its 19th-century limestone architecture and its geographically, historically, and culturally significant limestone gorge.
Elora is no longer an incorporated municipality in its own right, although it is the seat of the municipal government which succeeded it. The Township of Centre Wellington was formed in 1999 when, on the advice of the Province, the County amalgamated the Town of Fergus; the Village of Elora; and the surrounding townships of Nichol, Pilkington, and West Garafraxa (along with the northwestern part of Eramosa.)[2] The decision — along with the Ontario government’s role therein — remains highly controversial among Elora’s inhabitants.
In 2011, the Village was estimated to have had a population of approximately 7,756.[1]
History
Roman Catholic missionaries first visited the area in the early to mid 1600s attempting to Christianize the indigenous people, particularly the Neutral Nation on the Attiwandaronk Lands. The first European settlers arrived in 1817, and Roswell Matthews built a home here the next year.[3][4]
Captain William Gilkison (1777–1833) was born in Ayrshire, Scotland, and emigrated to North America in 1796. He served with the British forces in the War of 1812 as an assistant quartermaster-general, and in 1832 purchased some 14,000 acres of land in Nichol Township. He selected this area near the falls of the Grand River as a town site for his proposed settlement and named it Elora. It was laid out by Lewis Burwell, deputy provincial land surveyor, late in 1832, and the following year Gilkison established a sawmill and a general store. The founder of Elora died in April, 1833, before the full results of his foresight and enterprise were achieved.
The Grade I Listed Llys yr Esgob Tyddewi (St Davids Bishop's Palace), a ruined medieval palace located adjacent to St Davids Cathedral. It is managed by Cadw, the historic environment service of the Welsh Government. In St David's Pembrokeshire, South Wales.
St Davids became home of the Marcher Lords, responsible for guarding the border between England and Wales, so would have been a site of great strategic importance. It was also considered a hugely important religious site, housing relics of the St David, patron saint of Wales. William the Conqueror is said to have visited as a pilgrim in 1081.
The original monastery that stood on the site was established in the 6th century and, over the succeeding four centuries, was ransacked at least 10 times by Norse raiders. The arrival of the Normans in the 11th century brought some stability. They appointed a Norman bishop and attempted to protect the site by building a motte and bailey fort and, later, a stone defensive wall.
In 1284, King Edward I visited St Davids on a pilgrimage and this visit may have inspired some earlier work because Bishop Thomas Bek, who served from 1280–93, was among his former statesmen. Bishop Bek was responsible for construction of the chapel in the south-west corner, the hall, the private apartments and the gate.
The beginning of the Reformation also heralded the decline of the Bishops Palace. In 1536 Bishop William Barlow stripped the lead from the roof. Legend has it that he used the money to pay for the dowries of his five daughters.
He made so much money from this that a sixteenth-century account said that more than twelve years revenue of the bishopric would have been needed to cover the cost of replacing it, and the building fell into disrepair. Bishops stayed less at St Davids and, by the middle of the 16th century, the chief episcopal residence had been relocated to Abergwili, Carmarthenshire. In 1616, Bishop Richard Milbourne applied for a licence to demolish some of the buildings. By 1678, when another licence for demolition was sought, the palace was considered beyond repair.

Today we see Abraham Lincoln. Born into poverty in 1809, Lincoln was raised on the frontier in a log cabin. He studied independently and became a lawyer, moving in and out of politics. In 1854 he became a leader in the Republican party and was the party's nominee for President in 1860.
Lincoln engaged in a series of debates with the Democrat incumbent Stephen Douglas and, with the newly invented telegraph, it became the first Presidential debate with nationwide attention. Newspapers sent stenographers to each debate to record complete texts of the debates and those were then distributed to newspapers across the nation.
The issue of slavery was central in the debates as the Democrat platform supported a state's right to uphold slavery while the Republican platform, under Lincoln, proposed to abolish slavery altogether.
Lincoln won the Presidency and, with the profound discord on the issue of slavery, assumed leadership over a deeply divided nation. Lincoln had delivered the 'House Divided' speech, referencing Mark 3:35 from the Bible, "A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved—I do not expect the house to fall—but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other."
Sure enough, southern states refused to accept the election of Lincoln and adopted articles of secession, calling themselves the Confederate States of America. Lincoln led the nation through its greatest moral, constitutional, and political crisis in the American Civil War. He succeeded in preserving the Union, abolishing slavery, and implementing elements of his agenda, including modernizing the U.S. economy.
Lincoln completed his first term and was reelected for a second. He was assassinated shortly thereafter in April, 1865.
Abraham Lincoln. A distinguished individual!

The Enol Lake in Asturies is a site for sore eyes. To get the chance to see it without heavy clouds and fog we had to go up there three times but it was worth it!
The Enol is part of the Lakes of Covadonga (el. 1134 m.) that are composed of two glacial lakes located on the region of Asturias, Spain. These lakes, often also called Lakes of Enol or simply Los Lagos, are Lake Enol and Lake Ercina located in the Picos de Europa range and they are the original center of the Picos de Europa National Park, created in 1918.
The road ascending from Covadonga to the lakes is a popular climb in professional road bicycle racing, having been used by Vuelta a España many times in the last 25 years.
This a truly fantastic and mesmerizing place and it certainly worth getting up that road three times in 24 hours:)

The first phase of the ambush had succeeded - Albornian forces were forced to retreat from the swamps down the forest path and attempted to find a way around the muddy obstacle. Their attempt, however, was futile. No sooner had they emerged from the swamp then they were met by another force of our soldiers, pushing them back to the border.
The element of surprise and our knowledge of the terrain really made a large difference - if not for those two factors, I'm sure our casualties would have been much larger.
I was stationed with the other archers, who were to stand at a distance from the thick of the battle and pick off Albornian soldiers. I would have much rather been stationed as a Caeliadon rider, but I suppose with little to none experience on riding the winged animals was, I was not the best candidate for that position. Dalayor was to be paired with a rather hostile elf under the name of Kiirion Fensys - I couldn't help but think that he would have been safer in the hands of someone who didn't scare young cadets for fun.
Once the battle had begun, I became aware of just how important archers could be in a battle. Whenever I spotted someone in immediate danger I would single out his attacker and do my best to help him out.
After about 15 minutes of the battle I heard someone call;
"Cowards!"
I turned to see an Albornian soldier who had snuck behind our lines. I raised my bow to shoot him, but as I did he whipped out his sword and challenged me to a duel.
I accepted and brandished my dirk. The soldier was not very skilled and I soon dispatched of him. Once I had finished dueling him I noticed my garrison had moved on. With any luck, we'll have pushed Alborne back to the border by now.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! It's the holiday season and I wanted to make something fairy tale-ish (not sure if I succeeded, but at least Blair seems to be quite happy - it's been more than a month since her last photo whoops)
Seen this bird two hours previous chasing a siskin with no success however, she did succeed with this hunt not sure what she caught,
Shot this morning in the lake sammamish state park, south of Lake Sammamish. i arrived there around 6:45 am. stayed about two hours observing the birds. more animals compared to marymoor park, but nature here is far less interesting in my opinion. fog over the water wasn't that big either, but fine enough to have good bird shots. as yesterday morning, i only carried two lenses. the 70-200 f4 L and my big 100-400 f4.5-5.6 L. Since birds were the main goal this morning, i only used the latter.
it's actually the first time i'm concentrating at catching birds in flight. i understand what it feels now when i succeed at doing so. it's immensely satisfactory.
100-400 f4.5-5.6 L
I tried to avoid the inevitable head on photo that just about everybody makes. I kind of succeeded, because I did not shoot this photo from the road, but from a tree trunk besides the road. It resulted in quite a discussion with my wife though, since it was on a pretty steep slope. I think it was worth it :-)

Ce passage forme le prolongement de la rue de Choiseul, qui porte le nom d'Étienne-François de Choiseul-Beaupré-Stainville, ministre de la Guerre et ministre des Affaires étrangères sous Louis XV.
Le passage Choiseul fut édifié entre 1825 et 1827 à proximité des Grands Boulevards, alors très fréquentés, à l'initiative de la banque Mallet et Cie en vue de réaliser une opération d'ordre spéculatif.
Pour cela, on fit détruire les hôtels de Lionne, de Langlée, de Gesvres (dont le porche constitue encore l’entrée nord du passage) et Radepont, en projetant de construire des immeubles à leur place. Or, seul le passage Choiseul fut bâti finalement.
Les plans ont été dessinés par l'architecte François Mazois1 mais celui-ci ne verra pas l'achèvement de son travail puisqu'il meurt en 1826. La relève est assurée par Antoine Tavernier qui fut chargé de l'achèvement du passage.
Le passage est le plus long des passages couverts parisiens avec une longueur de 190 m pour une largeur de 3,7 m. Il consiste en une enfilade d'arcades sur pilastres au niveau du rez-de-chaussée. Ce dernier et l'entresol sont occupés en majorité par des boutiques tandis que les premier et second étages sont plutôt résidentiels. Il est recouvert d'une verrière qui fut remplacée vers 1907.
This passage forms the extension of the rue de Choiseul, named after Étienne-François de Choiseul-Beaupré-Stainville, Minister of War and Minister of Foreign Affairs under Louis XV.
The Passage Choiseul was built between 1825 and 1827 near the Grands Boulevards, which were very busy at the time, on the initiative of the bank Mallet et Cie in order to carry out a speculative operation.
To this end, the hotels of Lionne, Langlée, Gesvres (whose porch still forms the northern entrance to the passage) and Radepont were demolished, with plans to construct buildings in their place. However, only the Passage Choiseul was finally built.
The plans were drawn up by the architect François Mazois1 but he did not see his work through to completion as he died in 1826. He was succeeded by Antoine Tavernier, who was responsible for completing the passage.
The passage is the longest of the Parisian covered passages with a length of 190 m for a width of 3.7 m. It consists of a series of arcades on pilasters on the ground floor. The ground floor and the mezzanine are mostly occupied by shops, while the first and second floors are more residential. It is covered by a glass roof which was replaced around 1907.

The salmon fails in its attempt to leap the waterfalls of Stainforth Force in the Yorkshire Dales. This attempt was just short of the crest and it falls back into the torrent and is whisked back to the bottom to try again later. It will eventually succeed and reach its spawning ground up river on its autumnal journey from the sea.

The LPM-66 succeeds where others have failed when it comes to packing big features into a small package.
A PDW to the core, the LPM-66 is the perfect weapon for your private security detail, or vehicle crew. Production models lack a stock, however the recoil is negligible. This is in part due to the unique caseless 5.7x28mm cartridge.
The cartridge isn't the only unique aspect of the LPM-66. Rather than a traditional layout, the LPM-66 feeds from a side-loaded 20-round detachable magazine. This greatly reduces the overall profile of the weapon. Depressing the lever on the trigger guard causes the magazine to pivot away from the receiver, allowing it to be quickly replaced.
Integral foregrip and quad-rail models available.

All 0.6 and no 0.7 makes Bengay suck at 0.7.....Holy shit this came out rough. In my defense, 8 hours in a plane isn't a very good place to PMG....

Nutt succeeded her friend Arthur Lismer at the helm of the Victoria School of Art ( Now NSCAD University ) in 1919, a post she held for twenty-five years. The support she gave to women artists was instrumental in the development of the art of the region, while her ability to capture the distinctive light of Atlantic sea and sky secured her a special place in the art history of the Maritimes.
Cypress and other old trees by the shore of Lake Maitland. The Cypress trees are especially interesting because they can grow to 60 ft in height and may live as long as 1000 years or more. I feel very small and awed when I walk among them.
