Traditions of the world

Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a red day at Color my world Daily and the theme at Macro Mondays is tradition. As we all know, Red Lady just finished to set up her Christmas tree. She is super late : usually the Christmas tree is up at the beginning of December but this year is an exception. This delay is caused by a total lack of christmasy feeling this year ( blame it on the pandemic… ). However, the Christmas tree is one tradition Red Lady wants to maintain at any cost ! Even if she has to set up the tree at the very last minute, 23h55 on December the 23rd, she will do it !
Have beautiful day my friends ! Mucho, mucho amor for you all !!
Shortly (next week), I will take few days off from Flickr my friends ! I want to spend some time with my family, so I will not have time to take pictures. But dont you worry, I will be back in 2022 for sure !
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!!
This house is situated just around the corner from yesterdays truck.
Funny how that worked out now, isn't it? I have always liked the look of this house.
Happy Fence Friday

Many thanks for all the kind comments and faves on my images; they are very much appreciated.
Die Magdalenenklause
ist eine bewohnbare künstliche Ruine in einem abgeschiedenen Waldteil nördlich der schlossnahen Boskette im Schlosspark Nymphenburg in München.
Sie wurde ab 1725 durch Joseph Effner im Auftrag Max Emanuels errichtet.
Das in der Tradition des Memento mori stehende Gebäude gilt als eine der ersten Ruinenarchitekturen der europäischen Gartenkunst.
Die Innenräume sind als Grotten gestaltet.

My attempt at the "Macro Mondays" theme "Tradition".
I tried to include two christmas traditions in our family: The first one is crafting things from paper (as you can see my youtube channel on paper crafting might still have to wait a few years... 😅) and the second one is the whole family taking a walk to a random tree in the woods to have a little celebration outside!
This tree is around 28 mm in height.

Thanks to Facebook's "memories" feature, I've realized something interesting. Every year on October 2, for the past 5 years at least, it's been foggy on Cottage Lake and I have been there to capture it!
Le 8 décembre, les Lyonnais déposent des lumignons à leurs fenêtres afin d' honorer la Vierge Marie, et se retrouvent pour déambuler dans les rues. Ces petits pots sont très souvent réalisés par les enfants de maternelle et primaire.
See my "About" page on Flickr for the link to support my efforts... just the price of a cup of coffee is appreciated. Thank you. www.flickr.com/people/jax_chile/

Rosas - Santa Gemita - 102521 - BW
Santa María la Blanca, Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha, España.
Santa María la Blanca es un templo ubicado en la ciudad española de Toledo. Construida en el 1180 como sinagoga y, habiendo funcionado como tal durante 211 años, fue expropiada y transformada en iglesia como consecuencia del pogromo de 1391. En la actualidad el edificio pertenece a la Iglesia católica, pero no se realiza culto en él. Se encuentra abierto al público y funciona como museo o centro en el que se desarrollan actividades tanto culturales como educativas.
Construido en 1180 (según testimonia la inscripción visible en una de sus vigas), este edificio mudéjar posee cinco naves separadas por pilares sobre los que descansan arcos de herradura. Si bien existe cierto contraste entre la sobriedad del exterior de la sinagoga y su elaborado interior, el edificio presenta no poca austeridad. Conforme a la tradición oriental, el mismo 'vive' hacia el interior. Esta sinagoga tuvo considerable influencia sobre otras sinagogas españolas; tal es el caso, por ejemplo, de la sinagoga de Segovia.
Se trata de una construcción mudéjar, creada por canteros musulmanes. Sus elementos de arquitectura incluyen paredes blancas y lisas, hechas de ladrillo, arcos de herradura y pilares octogonales, decoración geométrica en los frisos y vegetal en los capiteles de los pilares. Todas estas características y la distribución de los espacios, con sus naves formadas por la sucesión de arcos de herradura soportados por pilares, tienden a recordar la tipología propia de una mezquita. La articulación interior y estilo morisco de Santa María la Blanca han servido de modelo para importantes sinagogas europeas y americanas del siglo XIX.
Los 32 pilares de este templo son de ladrillo recubierto por cemento y cal. Ornados de piñas y volutas, sus capiteles denotan influencia del arte románico. Por encima de los arcos de herradura prevalece la ornamentación abstracta en frisos horizontales que incluye molduras con delicados motivos basados en la interacción de líneas y medallones. Los entrelazados geométricos formados por las líneas son de origen almohade.
Santa María la Blanca is a temple located in the Spanish city of Toledo. Built in 1180 as a synagogue, and having functioned as such for 211 years, it was expropriated and transformed into a church as a result of the pogrom of 1391. Today the building belongs to the Catholic Church, but no worship is held there. It is open to the public and functions as a museum or centre where both cultural and educational activities are held.
Built in 1180 (as evidenced by the inscription visible on one of its beams), this Mudejar building has five naves separated by pillars on which horseshoe arches rest. Although there is a certain contrast between the sobriety of the synagogue's exterior and its elaborate interior, the building is not without austerity. In accordance with Eastern tradition, it 'lives' towards the interior. This synagogue had considerable influence on other Spanish synagogues; such is the case, for example, of the synagogue of Segovia.
This is a Mudejar construction, created by Muslim stonemasons. Its architectural elements include smooth white brick walls, horseshoe arches and octagonal pillars, geometric decoration on the friezes and plant decoration on the capitals of the pillars. All these characteristics and the distribution of the spaces, with its naves formed by the succession of horseshoe arches supported by pillars, tend to recall the typology of a mosque. The interior articulation and Moorish style of Santa María la Blanca have served as a model for important European and American synagogues of the 19th century.
The 32 pillars of this temple are made of brick covered with cement and lime. Decorated with pine cones and volutes, their capitals denote the influence of Romanesque art. Above the horseshoe arches, abstract ornamentation prevails in horizontal friezes that include moldings with delicate motifs based on the interaction of lines and medallions. The geometric interlacing formed by the lines is of Almohad origin.
An old Russian tradition: newlywed groom's parents are greeted with bread and salt. Biting the bread in turn, whose piece will be more, he and the head of the family:) This is a joke, but it is very fun guests..This tradition is very many years old. Bread and salt always met the most expensive guests in Russia. The combination of bread and salt played an exceptionally capacious character: bread expressed the desire for wealth and well-being, and salt was considered an amulet capable of protecting a person from hostile forces and influences. The hospitality of the guest with bread and salt established between him and the host a relationship of affection and trust; It is not for nothing that it says: "The king does not refuse bread and salt."
The tradition of pond building in the northern Upper Palatinate is almost 1000 years old. Around Tirschenreuth there are still countless fish ponds for carp, pike or tench. Cycling and hiking trails lead through this unique water landscape with its 4700 pools. The highlight of every tour is the 20m high ladder to heaven. It is only 1.4 kilometers outside of Tirschenreuth and offers a breathtaking view. And it is the showpiece of local architecture.
The construction of the ladder to heaven with its slender steel columns promises maximum transparency to the landscape on the one hand, and on the other hand the stair-like archaic overall shape provides a unique viewing experience.
The opposing arrangement of the two staircases automatically results in a slim gate situation from both sides, which once again addresses the issue of entering this special landscape for cyclists and pedestrians. The platform itself offers an all-round panoramic view of the depth and breadth of the landscape and can be used for didactic explanations. Furthermore, it allows a protected observation point for the native, special fauna.

Soppresata - In a Polish family, Christmas Eve is a fast day, therefore no meat is served at dinner that evening. The Christmas Day feast features all the meats, usually centered around a smoked ham. However, the Charcuterie board placed on he dinner table before the meal is served contains dried and smoked meats, along with a variety of cheeses and olives. But the Soppresata is the star of that board that everyone looks for and of course is gone first. But, it must be sliced paper thin in order to be enjoyed properly.
My Christmas wish: I don’t want much for Christmas. I just want the people who are reading this to be happy, health and loved.
Merry Christmas to all my Flickr friends.

For Macro Mondays for 1/23 for tape. This is a fabric case for some reading glasses and to reinforce the edges, it is sewn with bias binding tape. Btb, this was not the picture I thought I’d take but it’s sort of dramatic— yes?… The size verification shot should be next in the photostream— this portion is about an inch and 5/8ths.

Muntjac Deer - Muntiacus reevesi
Doe
Reeves’ muntjac are small, stocky and russet brown in colour in summer and grey/brown in winter. Bucks have short (10 cm) antlers growing from long pedicles. Antlers are usually unbranched but a very short brow tine is occasionally found in old bucks. They also have visible upper canines (tusks) suggesting that they are a primitive species. Muntjac have two pairs of large glands on the face. The upper pair are the frontal glands, whilst the lower glands, below the eyes, are called sub-orbitals. Both glands are used to mark territories and boundaries. They have a ginger forehead with pronounced black lines running up the pedicles in bucks, and a dark diamond shape on does. The haunches are higher than the withers giving a hunched appearance. They have a fairly wide tail, which is held erect when disturbed.
Muntjac were brought from China to Woburn Park in Bedfordshire in the early 20th century. They are now widespread and increasing in number and range. Deliberate releases and escapes from Woburn, Northamptonshire, and Warwickshire led to the establishment of feral populations. Movement and release by humans led to their rapid spread across south and central England and Wales, however, north of the Humber distribution is patchy but reaches close to the Scottish border.
Muntjac like deciduous or coniferous forests, preferably with a diverse understorey. They are also found in scrub and overgrown urban gardens. Unlike other species of deer in Britain, muntjac do not cause significant damage to agricultural or timber crops. However, high densities may prevent coppice regeneration and the loss of some plants of conservation importance, such as primulas. Muntjac trophy hunting has only recently become popular so there is little tradition of muntjac stalking on country and forest estates. The most significant direct economic impact that muntjac have on human interests is in collisions with cars. However, this has welfare as well as economic implications.
In contrast to all other species of deer in Britain, muntjac do not have a defined breeding season (rut). Instead, they breed all year round and the does can conceive again within days of giving birth. Bucks may fight for access to does but remain unusually tolerant of subordinate males within their vicinity.
Does are capable of breeding at seven months old. After a gestation period of seven months, they give birth to a single kid and are ready to mate again within a few days.
Bucks can live up to 16 years and does up to 19 years, but these are exceptional.
Muntjac are generally solitary or found in pairs (doe with kid or buck with doe) although pair-bonding does not occur. Bucks defend small exclusive territories against other bucks whereas does' territories overlap with each other and with several bucks.
They are known as ‘barking deer’ from the repeated loud bark given under a number of circumstances. An alarmed muntjac may scream whereas maternal does and kids squeak.
Muntjac are active throughout the 24-hour period but make more use of open spaces during the hours of darkness in populations subject to frequent disturbance. Peak activity is at dawn and dusk. Long periods are spent ‘lying up’, where the deer lies down to ruminate after feeding.
