Montenegro is a country in Eastern Europe bordering Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo, Albania and the Adriatic Sea. It used to be a part of Yugoslavia. The capital is Podgorica. The name Montenegro is Italian and means Black mountain. Montenegro was an independent princedom between 1878 and 1910 and an independent kingdom until 1918. That year Montenegro became part of Yugoslavia. In 2003 Yugoslavia was transformed into the new country of Serbia and Montenegro, but this fell apart in 2006 when both countries went their separate ways. Montenegro is therefore the youngest country in Europe. Montenegro is not a member of the European Union, but it is a member of NATO. Despite the fact that Montenegro is not yet an EU Member State, people do pay with the euro. Montenegro may be small, but this beautiful nation has a huge array of natural and man-made wonders. Once overlooked in favor of more famous Mediterranean countries, Montenegro is quickly gaining a reputation as a great place to travel. It's easy to see why. The mountainous hinterland is home to deep gorges, flowing rivers, glacial lakes and old-growth forests, popular for adventure activities. Petrovac is located on the coast between Budva and Bar, where the old mountain road from Podgorica reaches the coast. It has a 600 m long sandy beach and it is a popular tourist destination. Petrovac is seen as a somewhat "calmer" resort. The pier and the Kastio Castle, which served as a storehouse for wine and olive oil in the past, and now is a historical monument with historic cannon guns. Also a beautiful terrace that offers you a great view of the sunsets.
Montenegro’s most iconic destination is the tiny islet of Sveti Stefan. Graceful 15th-century stone cottages set on a pink sand beach. Sveti Stefan was an island but is now connected to the mainland. Initially, the island with its fortress had 12 families. In the 1800s, a village was established on the island with a population of about 400 people located at the coastal area around Budva. The coastal area around Budva, called the Budva riviera, is the center of Montenegrin tourism, known for its well-preserved medieval walled city, sandy beaches and diverse nightlife. Budva is 2,500 years old, which makes it one of the oldest settlements on the Adriatic coast. Petrovac is located on the coast between Budva and Bar, where the old mountain road, with slopes of the hills surrounding, from Podgorica reaches the coast. Kastio Castle is a very nice sightseeing and photo spot in Petrovac. Not really a fortress, but rather a small fortification that would protect the Venetians when freighting goods in the boats. You can see almost all if Petrovac from here. Not crowded at all. Definitely recommend for the view and atmosphere and you can jump into blue sea from there as well.
Montenegro is een land in Oost-Europa en grenst aan Bosnië en Herzegovina, Servië, Kosovo, Albanië en de Adriatische Zee. Vroeger was het een deel van Joegoslavië. De hoofdstad is Podgorica. De naam Montenegro is Italiaans en betekent Zwarte berg. Montenegro was tussen 1878 en 1910 een zelfstandig prinsdom en tot 1918 een zelfstandig koninkrijk. Dat jaar werd Montenegro onderdeel van Joegoslavië. In 2003 werd Joegoslavië omgevormd in het nieuwe land Servië en Montenegro, maar dit viel in 2006 uit elkaar toen beide landen een eigen weg gingen. Montenegro is misschien klein, maar deze prachtige natie heeft een enorm scala aan natuurlijke en door de mens gemaakte wonderen. Ooit over het hoofd gezien ten gunste van meer bekende mediterrane landen, krijgt Montenegro snel een reputatie als een geweldige plek om te reizen. Het is gemakkelijk te zien waarom. Het bergachtige achterland herbergt diepe kloven, stromende rivieren, gletsjermeren en oerbossen, populair voor avontuurlijke activiteiten. De meest iconische bestemming van Montenegro is het kleine eilandje Sveti Stefan. Sierlijke 15e-eeuwse stenen huisjes aan een roze zandstrand. Sveti Stefan was een eiland maar is nu verbonden met het vasteland. Aanvankelijk telde het eiland met zijn fort 12 families. In de jaren 1800 werd op het eiland een dorp gesticht met een bevolking van ongeveer 400 mensen in het kustgebied rond Budva. Het kustgebied rond Budva, de Budva riviera genaamd, is het centrum van het Montenegrijnse toerisme, bekend om zijn goed bewaard gebleven middeleeuwse ommuurde stad, zandstranden en gevarieerd nachtleven. Budva is 2500 jaar oud en is daarmee een van de oudste nederzettingen aan de Adriatische kust. Petrovac ligt aan de kust tussen Budva en Bar, waar de oude bergweg, met hellingen van de omliggende heuvels, van Podgorica de kust bereikt. Kastio Castle is een zeer mooie bezienswaardigheid en fotoplek in Petrovac. Een klein fort dat de Venetianen zou beschermen bij het beladen van goederen in de boten. Je kunt vanaf hier bijna alles zien als Petrovac. Helemaal niet druk. Zeker een aanrader voor het uitzicht en de sfeer en je kunt vanaf daar ook de blauwe zee in springen.

The story of East Riddlesden Hall has been shaped over the years by the contrasting influences of town and countryside, agriculture and industry, civil war and peace. This intimate 17th century manor house built above the River Aire was once at the heart of the agricultural estate of Riddlesden.
The early site
A manor has existed on this site since the 7th century.
Following the Norman invasion in 1066 and subsequent conquest, ownership of the site is believed to have passed from an Anglo-Saxon family to the Norman de Montalt’s.
1300s
A medieval hall was built in the early 1300s by descendants of the Norman de Montalt family, where the now-ruined Starkie wing stands.
1400s
In 1466 a house was constructed south of the medieval hall by the Paslew family.
Between 1466-1590 the house was extended to double its original size. This range of dates has been established through a test of the ornate plasterwork ceilings which are still in evidence in the Hall today.
1600s
In the 17th century the Hall was transformed into a comfortable manor house by James Murgatroyd, who had made his fortune in the Halifax woollen cloth industry. James bought the manor and 2000 acre estate of Riddlesden from the Rishworth family in 1638 for approximately £6,000, which would be valued at £6,000,000 today.
James was a keen builder and East Riddlesden was intended as a home for his eldest son John.
The property purchased by James looked very different from that which we see today. His alterations to the house were extensive and ostentatious.
The south end was remodelled to create the current two-storey block, and changes were made to the original medieval hall. The Great Hall was built as a temporary weatherproof structure to link the new Murgatroyd block with the original medieval hall during the re-building programme.
Sadly, James died in 1653 before his alterations to the property were completed.
The architecture and external decoration helped to create an impression of the owner’s quirky sense of style which is still revealed to us today.
Post 1600s
History still continued to be written at East Riddlesden Hall after James' death, and for 300 years after, the house was loved by a number of families before being saved from demolition in 1933

This started around the white 6 x 6 “train roof” wedge part. I’ve seen it in quite a few builds online over the years and I never owned before so I added a pair to one of previous BL orders so I could see if I could use it myself.

Best in large
I have over 15 000 views on my photostream now, and its a long time since I started on Flickr. And I wonder if I should do this still.
I see some get over 100 and more faves for really bad and cliché photos, but others that make artistic work struggle to get 15 faves. Sharpen up people, do not always please someone cause you can get an invite or fave back. I really dont like that side of Flickr. You should have some critical sense when commenting.
I joined Flickr in may 2010. Since then I have got one picture with faves over 70 (76), 2 pictures with 50 faves, 2 pictures with 40 something faves, 19 between from 30 to 39, and the rest under 30.
And I have posted 1 858 photos from SL and a few rl.
I know that not all of them are good, but I still wonder if its worth all the work I put in my pictures. Maybe I should use the time for something else or somewhere else.
The first place we headed to once arriving at Death Valley on this round was Dante’s View. Here, at 5’476 feet (1,669 meters) above sea level, you get an outstanding view of a good chunk of the park overlooking Badwater Basin. As Badwater Basin is as low as 282 feet (86 meters) below sea level, this is seen from well over a mile up. This year, however, water has been present in the basin. That’s not unheard of, though the fact this water has been there for better than five months is. The park was hit by Hurricane Hillary last year that dumped more rain in the park in an hour than it typically receives in a year. Considered a ‘millennial event’, the result was major damage throughout the park from flooding, transforming the face of the park in many places overnight. Wildrose Road and Titus Canyon are still impassable and may take many years to recover.
The park is still getting rain as of this past week in an ongoing event that meteorologists have dubbed an ‘atmospheric river’. That has left the park with 4.9 inches of rain over the last six months, which is more than double the normal 2 inches of annual rainfall. That has been good for the wildflowers found in Death Valley, though few are evident in the Badwater region due to the high concentration of salt. That salt is apparent here as white spread throughout the basin. Whenever water covers Badwater Basin, it becomes the ephemeral pluvial body known as Lake Manly. According to NASA’s Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite, Lake Manly spread to 6 miles long and 3 miles wide in early February of this year, ranging as deep as 3 feet. It was fascinating to be here during such an historical occurrence.
Across the basin from here is snowcapped Telescope Peak in the Panamint Mountain Range. At 11, 049 feet (3368 meters), it is the highest peak in Death Valley National Park.

Humor Monastery is an Orthodox monastery in Romania, built in 1530 by the great logician Toader Bubuiog. The monastery church has the dedications of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and Saint George the Martyr.
The monastery complex consists of:
* The Church "Assumption of the Virgin Mary" and "St. Gheorghe” built in 1530,
* The ruins of the monastery houses dating back to the 16th-18th century,
* The bell tower dating from the 19th century.
* Vasile Lupu's tower built in 1641.
The founder of this church, Toader Bubuiog, was a high political dignitary, holding the Roman Catholic parishes (1516-1523) and the great logofat of Moldova (1525-1537). During the reign of Petru Rareș, he carried out diplomatic missions in Transylvania (1527), Turkey (1528) and Poland (1532). He was married to Anastasia, the daughter of logician Ioan Tăutu (founder of the "St. Nicholas" Church in Balinese).
According to the custom, the founder built with the church and the cells for the monks and surrounding walls. In 1641, the ruler Vasile Lupu (1634-1653) surrounded the foundation of the logician Toader Bubuiog with durable stone walls and built a massive ground floor tower with three floors. In 1653, Timucus Hmelnitsky's Cossacks robbed and burned down the place of worship.
In January 1775, as a result of the attitude of neutrality it had during the military conflict between Turkey and Russia (1768-1774), the Habsburg Empire (today's Austria) received part of the territory of Moldova, a territory known as Bucovina. After the annexation of Bukovina by the Habsburg Empire in 1775, the locality of Humor Monastery was part of the Duchy of Bukovina, governed by the Austrians, being part of the Gura Humor district (in German Gurahumora).
The Habsburg authorities abolished the Humor Monastery on the basis of the Imperial Ordinance of June 19, 1783, of Emperor Joseph II (1780-1790), passing all the lands and funds administered by the Bishopric of Rădăuților "under the charge of the king's dominion and fort". After the monastery was abolished, the cells were almost completely ruined. The church has been transformed into a parish church. In the buildings of the former monastic ensemble there was a school for the children of the locals, and since 1850 they have been used as a warehouse for the materials of the Austrian authorities.
After the Union of Bukovina with Romania (1918), the church of the former Humor monastery continued to function as a parish church, and due to its artistic beauty it was integrated into the tourist circuit.
In the 60s-70s of the 20th century, important restoration work was carried out on the Humor Monastery. The pictorial ensemble of pronaos and crypt was restored in 1971 - 1972 with the financial and specialized support of UNESCO. On this occasion, the roof of the church was redone by enlarging the eaves to protect the exterior paintings as much as possible from the weather. Also, the tower built by Vasile Lupu was restored, filling the cracks in the walls, restoring the walls and the collapsed vaults, replacing the stone floors, consolidating the stairs and restoring the wooden balcony and the roof.
Only in July 1991, by the decision of Archbishop Pimen Zainea de Suceva and Rădăuților, the Humor Monastery was reactivated as a monastic settlement of nuns. At present, there are about 20 nuns who divide their time between church duties and work in painting and tailoring workshops for priestly vestments.
👉In 1993, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) included the Church "The Assumption of the Virgin Mary" and "St. Gheorghe ”of the Humor Monastery, together with seven other churches from the north of Moldova (Arbore, Pătrăuți, Moldovița, Probota,“ St. Ioan cel Nou ”from Suceava, Sucevița and Voroneț), on the list of world cultural heritage, in the group of Painted Churches in the north Moldova.
