We do not use pennies any more in Canada. Which makes them useless and basically junk. Sometimes you pay a few penies less and sometimes you pay a little more.

Valle de Estós, La Ribagorza, Huesca, Aragón, España.
El valle de Estós (en aragonés benasqués Vall d'Estós o Ball d'Estós) es un valle pirenaico situado en la comarca aragonesa de La Ribagorza.
Se ubica en la zona noroccidental del valle de Benasque (noreste de la provincia de Huesca) y dentro del parque natural Posets-Maladeta. Al norte de este valle, que es de origen glaciar, está el macizo del Perdiguero (3.221 m), y al sur el macizo del Posets (3.375 m). Este valle, orientado de oeste a este, tiene una longitud aproximada de 12 km y en el fondo de él transcurren las aguas del río Estós, afluente del río Ésera. Clarabides, Gías, Oô, son picos que también superan los 3.000 m y hacen frontera con Francia. La altitud del valle oscila entre los 1.400 m y los 3.375 m.
Desde el año 1994 forma parte del parque natural de Posets-Maladeta por sus importantes valores ecológicos. El paisaje predominante es el de la alta montaña pirenaica con buena representación de los pisos climáticos alpino, subalpino y montano. La flora predominante son los pastizales de montaña y los bosques, de coníferas (pino negro y abeto), de caducifolios (haya, álamo temblón, abedul, sauce, arce y avellano) y como principales arbustos el boj, enebro y rododendro. También se encuentran algunos endemismos pirenaicos. En cuanto a la fauna, encontramos a todos los animales presentes en los ecosistemasde la alta montaña pirenaica destacando una importante población de sarrios y corzos y como aves más representativas el urogallo, la perdiz nival y el quebrantahuesos.
El río Estós, al que afluyen múltiples barrancos y torrentes procedentes de los numerosos ibones (lagos de origen glaciar), de las nieves perpetuas y de algunos de los glaciares más meridionales de Europa, recorre el fondo del valle.
El valle tiene un gran atractivo turístico para los amantes de las excursiones de montaña, de la escalada, el esquí de montaña y el alpinismo. También se practica la pesca de la trucha y la caza mayor (sarrios, corzos y jabalíes). En la época veraniega sus laderas son lugar de pasto de un gran rebaño de vacas.
El acceso al valle se realiza preferentemente a pie a través de una red de senderos bien señalizados, aunque hay una pista forestal restringida al tránsito de vehículos autorizados. A lo largo del camino encontramos numerosas cabañas de pastores y un refugio de montaña guardado (1.895 m) gestionado por un guarda de la Federación Aragonesa de Montaña.
The Estós Valley (in Benasquese Aragonese, Vall d'Estós or Ball d'Estós) is a Pyrenean valley located in the Aragonese region of La Ribagorza.
It lies in the northwestern part of the Benasque Valley (northeast of the province of Huesca) and within the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park. To the north of this valley, which is of glacial origin, is the Perdiguero massif (3,221 m), and to the south, the Posets massif (3,375 m). This valley, oriented from west to east, is approximately 12 km long, and the Estós River, a tributary of the Ésera River, flows through its bottom. Clarabides, Gías, and Oô are peaks that also exceed 3,000 m and form the border with France. The valley's altitude ranges from 1,400 m to 3,375 m.
Since 1994, it has been part of the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park due to its significant ecological value. The predominant landscape is that of the high Pyrenees, with a good representation of the alpine, subalpine, and montane climate zones. The predominant flora consists of mountain pastures and forests, including conifers (black pine and fir), deciduous trees (beech, aspen, birch, willow, maple, and hazel), and, as main shrubs, boxwood, juniper, and rhododendron. Several Pyrenean endemic species are also found. As for the fauna, all the animals present in the high Pyrenean mountain ecosystems are found here, with a significant population of Pyrenean chamois and roe deer, and the most representative birds being the capercaillie, the ptarmigan, and the bearded vulture.
The Estós River, fed by numerous ravines and streams originating from the many glacial lakes (ibones), the permanent snowfields, and some of the southernmost glaciers in Europe, flows through the valley floor.
The valley is a popular tourist destination for mountain hikers, climbers, ski mountaineers, and alpinists. Trout fishing and big game hunting (chamois, roe deer, and wild boar) are also popular. In the summer, its slopes serve as grazing land for a large herd of cattle.
Access to the valley is primarily on foot via a network of well-marked trails, although there is a forest track restricted to authorized vehicles. Along the way, you'll find numerous shepherd's huts and a staffed mountain refuge (1,895 m) managed by a warden from the Aragonese Mountain Federation.
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16).
Probably the most quoted verse in all the Bible, but how many will heed His call? How many will turn from their sin, and trust Jesus Christ to save them? This is the most important decision you could ever make. Won't you do it today? If you should have any questions, please feel free to text me on my Flickrmail today. I would be more than happy to help you.
"Go sound the horn; strike up the choir; a sinner is saved--saved from the fire; no more in darkness--He's received my Son; all Heaven's rejoicing!; that's the value of one!"

This is a close up of The Arc, a building I posted recently, and added to the first comment here.
This building was designed by Walter Franci, but I really liked the quote by Brazilian architect, Oscar Niemeyer.
A person, who values the beauty of nature and ambient the world, far richer and happier than those, who did not notices this.

Yesterday while mowing the lawn I finished listening to "When Breath Becomes Air" for the second time. Nothing like bawling your eyes out while walking behind a power mower. The book is such a beautiful testament to figuring out how to live a meaningful life. Paul Kalanathi, the author, was a brilliant man and I am grateful he found meaning and drive to share his story. Start today and examine your life, where do you find meaning and purpose? No one can define your values for you, this takes work, time, and self-reflection. It's like the quote “The trouble is, you think you have time” from Jack Kornfield's Buddha's Little Instruction Book we skitter away our time mindlessly. Today I slowed down, breathed, sipped tea and enjoyed the sunlight in the crisp morning air.

In the Japanese Garden on the Clingendael estate you will even find a tea pavilion.
This is the most eye-catching and is a popular place to admire the garden from there. In the tea pavilion you will find an indication of the age of the garden. The date "9-7-1913" is applied in the ridge of the pavilion. The Japanese Garden is the oldest of its kind in the Netherlands and has a high historical value.
its value is a part of something larger :-)

Along Loch Cluanie....I could try to identify the mountain but I'd not be able to spell it and you'd probably not be any wiser anyway. So I hope the moment has some value.
The Museum of Natural History has the largest mineral collection in Germany. In total, it comprises 200,000 pieces and contains 65% of all known minerals.
The mineralogical collection shows 1077 species. The foundation stone of the collection is formed by minerals and rocks from the "Royal Mineral Collection" of 1781.
Some pieces come from famous expeditions, such as gems brought by Alexander von Humboldt from Russia.
The largely original 19th-century hall presents the collection in historical showcases. New display cases bring the history of mineralogy to life with the help of busts, minerals, models and historical devices. But they also shed light on the aspect of why minerals were the basis for the technical development of mankind in the past and why our lives are indispensable in the future.
Precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum have had a jewellery and coin value since ancient times, today they are an indispensable part of medical and catalyst technology. Glass and ceramics have developed into true high-tech materials and without the element of silicon there is no computer today.
It was an early and chilly morning in Buttermere, just after sunrise. I have been shooting for a little while, and I cannot begin conveying how good it felt to have all that place for myself. Having a job that demands to be constantly ‘on’, doesn’t allow much down time and at times we all need to recharge, with no distractions, clear our minds and think with greater clarity.
In a culture where we often confuse the notion of being alone with loneliness, the ability to appreciate that 'me-time' allows us to reap its benefits. Some value the freedom of not having to follow the lead of others, no obligation to plan ahead, and no pressure to talk to anyone.
Personally, I always cherish those times when I’m alone with nature, and it is in such moments that questions find answers. More than that, at those times I choose to give something to myself, quality time, and by doing so I have made myself my own first choice.

it depends on the way we occupy that place." ~ Therese of Lisieux

" Guard well your spare moments, they are like diamonds. Discard them, and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life." {Emerson}
Sempervivum (/sɛmpəˈvaɪvəm/) is a genus of about 40 species of flowering plants in the family Crassulaceae, commonly known as houseleeks. Other common names include liveforever (the source of the taxonomical designation Sempervivum, literally "always/forever alive") and hen and chicks, a name shared with plants of other genera as well. They are succulent perennials forming mats composed of tufted leaves in rosettes. In favourable conditions they spread rapidly via offsets, and several species are valued in cultivation as groundcover for dry, sunny locations.
These are just a few of the Sempervivums I have dotted about in the garden/greenhouse . They are a very hardy plant tolerant of a wide range of temperatures so make a good plant to have around .
A bit different to what I normally post - the sun catching the top of Aber Falls, North Wales. Not sure if it works or not - would value any comments please!
Used a very low temp value for WB to compensate for the very warm light from the lamp.
Have a great week ahead everyone!

Oxford Castle is a large, partly ruined Norman medieval castle on the western side of central Oxford in Oxfordshire, England. Most of the original moated, wooden motte and bailey castle was replaced in stone in the 11th century and played an important role in the conflict of the Anarchy. In the 14th century the military value of the castle diminished and the site became used primarily for county administration and as a prison.
Most of the castle was destroyed in the English Civil War and by the 18th century the remaining buildings had become Oxford's local prison. A new prison complex was built on the site from 1785 onwards and expanded in 1876; this became HM Prison Oxford.
The prison closed in 1996 and was redeveloped as a hotel. The medieval remains of the castle, including the motte and St George's Tower and crypt, are Grade I listed buildings and a Scheduled Monument.

Covarrubias es una villa y municipio español, situado en la Comarca del Arlanza, provincia de Burgos, en la comunidad de Castilla y León.
En el siglo X el conde de Castilla Fernán González y su hijo García Fernández convirtieron a Covarrubias en la capital del Infantazgo de Covarrubias y cabeza de uno de los más importantes señoríos monásticos. Por este motivo esta población es conocida como «La cuna de Castilla».
Presenta un entramado urbano bien conservado, unido a un patrimonio monumental amplio, en la que destaca el Torreón de Fernán González, la única fortaleza castellana anterior al siglo XI que se conserva.
Turísticamente, forma con las vecinas localidades de Lerma y Santo Domingo de Silos el llamado Triángulo del Arlanza.
Covarrubias, desde el siglo X conserva su nombre con muy pocas variantes, su etimología es de fácil explicación si tenemos en cuenta las numerosas cuevas de color rojizo, cuevas-rojas, que se hallan cerca del casco urbano, mirando al río Arlanza, en la carretera que conduce a Salas de los Infantes, pasando por el derrumbado Monasterio de San Pedro de Arlanza. Como etimología no estaría mal valorar rubias como posible significado como vado, o río, del prerromano ibi. Cerca del mismo tenemos el río Ura (ura significa agua en vascuence).
En el siglo XIII, se convierte el nombre en apellido toponímico de una de las familias más linajudas del lugar.
Sus habitantes son conocidos como racheles y rachelas, gentilicio que proviene del nombre hebreo de Raquel, la mujer de Jacob, que significa bella (rajel), empleado para designar a la gran cantidad de damas hermosas y mansas que han habitado Covarrubias a lo largo de los siglos. En castellano antiguo este nombre era escrito con "ch": Rachel.
La villa de Covarrubias, llamada también Cuna de Castilla, está situada a 40 km al sudeste de Burgos, integrada en el Triángulo del Arlanza, junto a la orilla del río de mismo nombre. Localidad situada en la Ruta de la Lana y en el Camino del Cid, ruta del destierro de El Cid. Por Covarrubias pasa un camino de Santiago.

Covarrubias is a Spanish town and municipality, located in the Arlanza region, Burgos province, in the community of Castilla y León.
In the 10th century, the Count of Castilla Fernán González and his son García Fernández made Covarrubias the capital of the Infantazgo de Covarrubias and head of one of the most important monastic manors. For this reason this town is known as "The cradle of Castile."
It presents a well-preserved urban fabric, together with a wide monumental heritage, in which the Torreón de Fernán González stands out, the only Castilian fortress that has been preserved before the 11th century.
Touristically, it forms with the neighboring towns of Lerma and Santo Domingo de Silos the so-called Arlanza Triangle.
Covarrubias, since the 10th century retains its name with very few variations, its etymology is easily explained if we take into account the numerous reddish caves, red-caves, which are located near the urban area, overlooking the Arlanza river, in the road that leads to Salas de los Infantes, passing by the collapsed Monastery of San Pedro de Arlanza. As an etymology, it would not be bad to value blondes (“rubias”) as a possible meaning as ford, or river, from pre-Roman ibi. Near it we have the river Ura (ura means water in Basque).
In the thirteenth century, the name became the toponymic surname of one of the most ancestral families of the place.
Its inhabitants are known as racheles and rachelas, a name that comes from the Hebrew name of Raquel, Jacob's wife, which means beautiful (rajel), used to designate the large number of beautiful and meek ladies that have inhabited Covarrubias throughout the ages. In old Spanish this name was written with "ch": Rachel.
The town of Covarrubias, also called Cradle of Castile, is located 40 km southeast of Burgos, integrated into the Arlanza Triangle, next to the bank of the river of the same name. Town located on the Ruta de la Lana and on the Camino del Cid, the route of the exile of El Cid. A road to Santiago passes through Covarrubias.
There's something inherently sad about household objects left out for the trash man. They are like castoffs; broken or no longer cherished, and left ignominiously out on the curb. This easy chair caught my eye the other day. Part of the forlorn quality of scenes like this is the object being ripped from its normal context. I wouldn't give the chair a second look in someone's living room. But it seemed horribly out of place on the edge of the state highway that bisects the village. That, and the sedentary nature of a recliner juxtaposed against passing traffic. Wonderful visual metaphors for the life cycle of things we purchase and the passage of time (and with it life). In the eerie stillness after the truck passed I contemplated the chair and the many other personal objects scattered about the lawn behind me. There's a village-wide trash haul this weekend, and little collections such as this are springing up all around. I have to admit a weird impulse to inspect them, and yearn to pull over when driving by. I can't help but think I will find something of value (I almost never do) but also that idle curiosity about seeing the remnants of someone else's life (remember I did preface this as weird). I'll be placing some of my own items out on the curb soon. I tend to wait until the night before, perhaps to avoid having others inspect them as I did this chair. Even when it's sheer junk, I feel an odd sentimental tug about letting go of things. And that spell lasts as long as the objects remain on my tree lawn before the pickup. Much like this chair, they are in the condemned phase, but still retrievable. I can simply go back out and reclaim them. That sentiment vanishes the moment the objects are tossed onto the truck. Maybe that's why I wait until the last minute to put them out. I just can't stand that in between time.
The Merganser tried unsuccessfully for over 20 minutes to try to swallow its catch but eventually had to give up..... a little too big
