Castle Dyck (German: Schloss Dyck) is a moated castle in the Rhineland region of Germany. It is located in the municipality of Jüchen in Rhein-Kreis Neuss, North Rhine-Westphalia, between Grevenbroich and Mönchengladbach.
The history of the castle began in 1094 when the knight Hermannus de Disco was mentioned in a record of the Archbishop of Cologne as the lord of a simple fortification. Over time the site was converted into a fortified moated castle. In 1383 the castle was besieged by the cities of Aachen and Cologne, as well as by the archbishop Friedrich III von Saarwerden and Duke William I of Guelders and Jülich. They accused Lord Gerard van Dyck of being a robber knight. When Gerard van Dyck died without male offspring, the castle was inherited by Johann V von Reifferscheidt, the ancestor of the counts and princes of Salm-Reifferscheid. This family owned the castle for more than 900 years until it became the Centre for Garden Art and Landscape Design in 1999. The last heiress of the family, Countess Marie Christine Wolff Metternich, turned it over to a foundation to secure the future of the castle.
The castle is the center of Salm-Reifferscheid-Dyck, a former independent territory located between the Electorate of Cologne, Guelders and Jülich. The small territory was called "Dycker Ländchen" and is still recognizable for its unique cultural landscape.

Criada em 04 de janeiro de 1966, com o objetivo de dar suporte social e financeiro à comunidade do Banco Central do Brasil, a Associação dos Servidores do Banco Central atuava inicialmente em nível nacional como instituição única, sem fins lucrativos.
Com o crescimento do número de filiados surgiu a necessidade de atender a todos de maneira mais efetiva. Foram criadas então, em 1977, Diretorias Regionais, de onde, mais tarde, em 1985, originou-se a Asbac Brasília, na forma como é constituída atualmente.
Hoje, considerado um dos melhores e mais belos clubes da Capital Federal e referência no mundo social e esportivo, oferece aos seus associados e à sociedade mais de 160.000m² de área ampla e arborizada, às margens do Lago Paranoá.

Le discriminazioni storiche delle donne in India vanno diminuendo tra le caste alte, ma rimangono drammatiche negli strati inferiori della società
Dalla nascita, le figlie femmine valgono molto meno dei maschi.
Le bambine non vengono nutrite nè curate come i figli maschi, le donne vengono sfruttate nelle attività domestiche e percepiscono salari inferiori agli uomini, svolgono lavori durissimi e, viaggiando per l’India, si ha spesso l'impressione che lavorino solo loro. A volte subiscono torture sessuali e stupri da parte delle stesse forze dell'ordine, la prassi dotale non è venuta meno e si è anzi ulteriormente diffusa e nonostante la legislazione vieti di rivelare il sesso del nascituro durante le ecografie, il 99 % degli aborti riguarda feti femmina. Le figlie sono considerate come detto un peso per la famiglia, un investimento senza nessun ritorno e nelle aree rurali del Sud tradizionalmente era addirittura la stessa nonna paterna ad incaricarsi di avvelenare la neonata, ovviamente mai registrata all'anagrafe.
Meno cibo, meno cure, niente scuole, a volte persino l'eliminazione fisica o, la vendita ai mercanti di carne che ne faranno una prostituta.
Se nascere femmine è una disgrazia in India, essere vedove è quasi intollerabile: queste ultime sono accusate della morte del marito, se non praticamente, a causa dei propri peccati.
Scoraggiati i secondi matrimoni, le vedove giovani vengono spesso avviate alla prostituzione.
La legislazione non permette più alcuna discriminazione nei rapporti tra uomini e donne ma non è raro incontrare ancora riti e tradizioni che fino a mezzo secolo fa erano ritenuti "normali". Ora se non si tratta di fatti di particolare gravità la società indiana tende comunque a tollerare le vecchie usanze.La donna deve essere capace soprattutto di concepire. E' chiaro che la donna non esercita la sua libera volontà. Alla base vi è una concezione generale del mondo diversa dalla nostra perchè condizionata dalla fede nella reincarnazione. La donna deve dar corso della continuità di essa quindi diventa inconcepibile l'arrestarsi della discendenza. La donna sterile, o avente solo figlie femmine fino a poco tempo fa poteva essere ripudiata. La vedova doveva morire sullo stesso rogo del marito (inteso come suo unico Dio), per secoli un fatto d'obbligo. Questa usanza ora gravemente punita viene ancora seguita in qualche sperduto villaggio indiano

Padley Gorge, Peak District, UK.
Busy morning yesterday. Up early to shoot sunrise at Over Owler Tor as it's close to Padley Gorge where I wanted to photograph Autumn along the brook.
Bumped into a nice chap by the 'popular millstone'. We met again at the Gindleford end. After chatting some more and him telling he's called Richard and his website address I realised he was Richard Wheeler. I'd come across his fantastic work before. In my opinion, he's one of the best photographers of the Peak District. So if you've not seen his work before, here's his Flickr account and you can get his website link from his profile. Maybe buy a print or a 2012 calendar? :)

Incidentally, I thought I'd found this composition all by myself. It's the only one I kept going back to during the morning (or maybe the only one I could work out). But, I've now realised Richard has a fantastic shot of it already. He didn't mention that when I was showing him on the back of my camera. I said I liked the lead in of the waterfalls but not the big rock on the right. Thanks for saying you though it was OK Richard. We also had an interesting conversation about including people in landscapes.
I've been a few times to photograph Padley Gorge and found it really hard work. Glad I got a couple of shots this time.
Thanks for reading :)
The palace had its origins in a single-storey structure without wings built for Alberto V d'Este (1385), a small retreat intended solely for suppers and diversions, as a sort of banqueting house, with an urban front and a garden front. As the equivalent of a Roman villa suburbana, the Palazzo Schifanoia long predated the first such pleasure villa built in Renaissance Rome, the Belvedere built for Nicholas V.
In 1452 Borso d'Este received the title of Duke for the imperial fiefs of Modena and Reggio Emilia that he held from Emperor Frederick III. The occasion for the cycle of frescoes was the expected investiture of Borso d'Este as Duke of Ferrara in 1471 by Pope Paul II. The subtext of the festivities embodied in the fresco cycle is the right ordering of mankind and nature under the good government of the Duke, the guarantor of peace and prosperity in the Este dominions. Under the commissions of Borso d'Este, the architect Pietro Benvenuto degli Ordini was called upon to develop a ducal apartment on an upper level, providing the building with a salone suitable for presentations of ambassadors and delegations, a counterpart of the governing structure of Ferrara housed in the former Palazzo della Ragione, destroyed in World War II. The palace was often used by Marfisa d'Este, a great patron of the arts.
There, in the Salone dei Mesi ("Hall of the Months"), Cosimo Tura's purely pagan cycle of the months presents the cycle of the year as an allegorical pageant with the appropriate Olympian gods presiding on their fanciful cars drawn by the beasts proper to each deity, with appropriate personifications of the constellations of the zodiac. The frescoes were realized circa 1469–70 by artisans of the d'Este household, the larger figures based on cartoons by Cosmé Tura, and the vignettes of the labors of the year and the activities of the Ferrarese court under the benevolent eye of Borso d'Este, flanked by astrological figures to designs by Francesco del Cossa and Ercole de' Roberti. The learned and elaborate scheme of the allegorical presentations must have come from the immediate circle of Borso d'Este, perhaps from the court astrologer, Pellegrino Prisciani, with some details drawn from Boccaccio's Genealogia deorum.
In the Sala delle Virtù ("Hall of Virtues") nearby, the sculptor Domenico di Paris painted the stucco reliefs in a frieze of putti and symbols of the Cardinal and Theological Virtues, under a painted compartmented ceiling.
The façade was originally decorated with a cornice of feigned battlements, its surface smoothly stuccoed and decorated with geometric designs of highly colorful imitation marbles, which have been lost, lending a somewhat dour public face to Palazzo Schifanoia that was not what Borso d'Este intended. The rich white marble entrance door survives, though its tinted colors have weathered away and art historians disagree whether it is to be attributed to the painter-designer Francesco del Cossa or to Biagio Rossetti. Above the arched door, flanked by pilasters, the Este arms are displayed and the unicorn, a symbol of ducal benevolence and the source of patronage. In 1493 the terracotta cornice was added to designs by Biagio Rossetti, who was also commissioned by Ercole I d'Este to extend the palace.
From the Salone dei Mesi the visitor once passed directly into the gardens reached by a monumental stair from the summer loggia, structures that were demolished in the 18th century. After the Este left Ferrara in 1598, the palazzo was inherited through successive heirs, eventually by the Tassoni family, its frescoes whitewashed over. Eventually, during administration of the duchy as part of the Papal States, with a Habsburg garrison, it became a tobacco warehouse and manufactory. When Palazzo Schifanoia came into the possession of the comune of Ferrara in the aftermath of World War I, only seven of the months in the Salone remained legible.
Palazzo Schifanoia forms part of the heritage of Ferrara conserved under the umbrella of the Musei Civici d'Arte Antica di Ferrara. The 14th and 15th century rooms contain collections of antiquities, a numismatic collection and medals cast by Pisanello and other Quattrocento artists to commemorate members of the Este family.

When I was a child
I toyed with dirt and I fought
As a child
I killed the slugs, I bored with a bough
In their spiracle
When I was a child
Peers pushed me hard
In my head, in my neck, in my chest, in my waist, in my butt
I still beg
Please help me
When I was a child
I threw with dung as I fought
As a child
I killed all thugs and bored with a bough
In their spiracle
When I was a child
Foes pushed me hard
In my ___, in my neck, in my chest, in my waist, in my butt
I still beg
Please help me
When I was a child
I rend my tongue distraught
As a child
I killed my thoughts and bored with a bough
In my spiracle
When I was a child
Fears pushed me hard
In my head, in my neck, in my chest, in my waist
I never loved
I still beg
Please help me
I was a child
I am a child

Adirondack Mountains
The Adirondack Mountains /ædɪˈrɒndæk/ form a massif in northeastern New York, United States. Its boundaries correspond to the boundaries of Adirondack Park. The mountains form a roughly circular dome, about 160 miles (260 km) in diameter and about 1 mile (1,600 m) high. The current relief owes much to glaciation.
In 1989, part of the Adirondack region was designated by UNESCO as the Champlain-Adirondack Biosphere Reserve.

“In a dark tunnel
New dawn approaching
With a sphere of light ever glowing
Let it go as it grows on forever
And we breathe it in
And then the world will grow
And then the world will know of you,
Of all things love, of all things true”

Latin Name: "Bombus lucorum" - White-Tailed Bumblebee
While photographing around the garden I spotted this white-tailed bumblebee and in the positionj it was I managed to catch the backlight on it which showed up the white markings. I think it was just about to take off again, so I was happy with the action blur of the wings too.
Taken with my Canon EOS 7D and Canon EF 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens and framed in Photoshop.

Without the modern large ways the people used to transit village by village using trails with only a wagon to transport the own things.
To remember good or bad events they built small building with inside painted wall, that showed religious things.
Today these trails are still to be abandoned, but this belongs to my origins.

Tulipanes
En el Siglo XVI, el embajador austríaco en Turquía Ogier Ghislain de Busbecq, quién además era un floricultor entusiasta, vio tulipanes cultivados en Adrianópolis. En 1544, cuando regresó a Europa, trajo consigo algunos bulbos a los Jardines Imperiales de Viena. Décadas más tarde, en 1593, Carolus Clusius dejó su trabajo en los Jardines Imperiales para tomar un cargo de profesor de botánica en Leiden, Holanda. Clusius, llevó con él a Holanda una colección de bulbos de tulipanes que crearon un gran interés y entusiasmo. Entre 1610 y 1620 en Francia y para 1634 en Holanda, el entusiasmo por cultivar estas plantas bulbosas se transformó en una verdadera fiebre conocida como "tulipomanía".

The storm was approaching, however, out of laziness and because I was afraid of ruining my equipment under the pouring rain, I did not go out and instead I waited for the storm at home.
I frame the picture and I waited, until finally, the lightning happend! I shot as soon as I saw the first ray, and kept the shutter open for the whole lightning.
