A Igreja de Santa Isabel teve sua construção iniciada em 1868, em estilo neogótico, em cumprimento a uma promessa feita pela Princesa Isabel, sendo, porém, consagrada apenas no ano de 1897, quando a Família Imperial já se encontrava no exílio. Nesta Igreja de Caxambu, tombada pelo Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico de Minas Gerais, destaca-se um altar feito em madeira trabalhada onde fica a imagem de Santa Isabel de Hungria. O acesso à Igreja pode ser feito a pé por uma escadaria de 126 degraus ou de carro, pela rua Monsenhor João de Deus.

„LA DIAVOLEZZA“ - DIE SCHÖNE TEUFELIN
Da oben hauste vor vielen Jahren eine wunderbare Bergfee. Sie lebte in ihrer Felsenburg hoch oben zwischen Chapütschöl und Munt Pers, dort wo – eingefasst von Felsentürmen und grossen Geröllhalden- mitten in einer blumenbedeckten Bergweide, ein tiefblauer See die Sonne widerspiegelt, dort wo ganze Rudel von munteren Gämsen sich tummeln und im saftigen Gras weiden, dort wo die Berghühner gackern, hochfliegen, dann im elegantem Gleitflug landen, um zu weiden und weiter zu gackern, dort wo die Schneehasen mit offenen Augen träumen und schliesslich aufgeschreckt in gestrecktem Galopp davon sausen.
Das herrliche Weib wurde nur selten und flüchtig von Jägern erblickt und mit Vorliebe dann bestaunt, wenn sie über die Felsbände des Munt Pers zum „Lej da la Diavolezza“ hinüberwechselte, um dort ein erfrischendes Bad zu nehmen. Dann allerdings wurden die jungen Jäger ganz vernarrt und unvorsichtig. Sie folgten ihr, die stets von ihrer Gämsherde bewacht war, über die Felsgänge bis hinüber zu ihrem Felsenschloss.
Was dann dort geschah, das weiss man nicht, man ahnt es nur. Ein Jäger nach dem anderen verschwand und verlor sich am Munt Pers (verlorener Berg). So auch Aratsch, ein stattlicher Jüngling aus dem Dorf. Er kehrte von der Jagd nicht mehr zurück. Überall wurde vergeblich nach ihm gesucht und schliesslich musste man annehmen, er sei auch in die Gletscherbrüche am Pers gefallen oder irgendwo abgestürzt. Denn wer bis Einbruch der Nacht sich in der Region des Bernina-Massivs aufhielt, hörte, vom Winde getragen, die Klagestimme der Diavolezza, die ausrief: „mort ais Aratsch“ (Aratsch ist tot).
Das erzählte man sich von Generation zu Generation und nannte dann die schöne Alp im Kessel der Berninagruppe Alp Morteratsch. Aber die Diavolezza hatte keine Ruhe bis nicht der Gletscher vorrückte und die ganze Alp bis hinunter ins Tal mit Eis und Geröll zugedeckt war. Dann verliess sie die Gegend mit dem Klageruf: „davent dal Munt dal Pers“ und wurde nie mehr gesehen.
I was golfing this morning and thankfully I had no golf balls land in the water, albeit, I did get a good soaking of rain over the first 4 holes!!
Back home, checked the challenge and perfect I'll just drop the golf I was playing with in some water!!

Stay Safe and Healthy Everyone!
Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... Thanks to you all!
Without a doubt, Matera is very easy on the eye. Imagine a scene of tightly knit hillside stone dwellings, so compact that sometimes one sits on top of the other. Its ancient style oozes a sort of mysterious grandeur with a mix of cave churches carved into the mountain and ornate grand churches in the old town. It could sit easily within the pages of a Dan Brown thriller blockbuster.
For one can’t help but wonder about all the goings on and strange characters that may have lurked in those ancient cave dwellings of Sassi di Matera (the stones of Matera) for the best part of 9,000 years. Indeed, Bronze age evidence of human existence in the area makes this one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world.
Checking out a vacant deteriorated building in Michigan. It was interesting to see so much tall overgrowth inside.
Well I can't forget this evenin'
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way
The story goes
You always smile
But in your eyes
Your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows
I can't live
If livin' is without you
I can't live
I can't give any more

If only I had one more try
I'd say every word that you should have heard
I'd break the silence .....

Just posting a couple more photos of my LMV, without minifigs this time so that some details are easier to see. In this pic I've dropped a Brickarms ammo can into the driver's side door box to show that it fits quite nicely (though it looks a little crooked here). You can also see that I've mounted a dirt bike on the rear lift gate. I've read that the Australian SASR often do that on their existing vehicles, so that the dirt bike can be used by the team for route reconnaissance.

Latin Name: Anas platyrhynchos - Mallard
Daisy, our pet rescued duck had a Spring visitor again this year. Obviously named Donald by us, he used to come and sit with her every day last year, and when he arrived again this year it was obvious that it was the same drake as the greeting between them was wonderful to see and hear. He is very protective of her and immediately saw off any other drake that dared to land in our garden in the vicinity of Daisy. This was one of his "look-out" spots, on the top of the side gate to our garden at the side of the property where Daisy is free to wander during the day and where her night hutch is situated. Other look-out positions were on top of the aviary roof where Jacko, our pet rescued Jackdaw is, also in the same side garden; on top of the worshop at the side of the back garden; or on top of the property roof! If another drake did land in the side garden a skirmish took place and .... well, let's just say that the interloper never stayed there very long before flying off in a hurry, often leaving behind some feathers!! He would arrive early in the morning and only leave after we put Daisy to bed in the hutch each night, often sitting outside the hutch for a while, softly talking to her. They made a very nice couple and I hope he is still around next year for his daily visits to keep her company during the Spring. This year she kept us well supplied with 102 eggs!!

I got my first camera some time in the mid 1980s, though I never really learned to use it very well. The first shot I ever made that I really thought had promise was a shot of moving water. I managed to get it to be a little silky, and I was inspired. That really motivated me to get better at this photography thing. I bought my first good camera, a Nikon N90s, in 1996, and have been taking photography pretty seriously since then.
I still love the look of moving water with a long exposure, so that the water turns silky. I know there are those who think it cliche, and perhaps it is. It is argued that is not really the way water looks, though I'm at a loss to see how the jagged look one gets with a short exposure looks anything like what water looks like, either. In any case, it is a poor cook who cannot suit himself, as the saying goes, so I find myself coming back to the water, with some regularity, to see if I can once more capture the soft, silky look that still captivates me. This shot is one of three that was taken recently on the Little River, near Elkmont, in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
The little furnace sleeps,
no smoke, no fire to tend.
Breath enters the earth,
returns through the leaves—
nothing carried, nothing sent.
Tightness comes, loosens,
light settles without asking.
Even the mantra dissolves
into the body’s listening.
No work today—
just sitting
while the bell remembers us.
Mt. Thor is, without doubt, one of my favorite mountains to photograph. Those that follow my photographic journey know that it is not my first and definitely not my last shot of this granite giant. Its name is associated with the Norse god, a patron of thunders, lightning, storms, and strength. Thor is also considered to be responsible for the protection of mankind. Each time when you hike through the valley, you feel the overwhelming power and energy of Mt. Thor. The mountain itself is visible for about 40 km and keeps changing its shape as you approach it.
I chose this composition because it demonstrates the best Mt. Thor’s dominating power in the whole valley. The sunset light combined with soft-hued clouds added a bit of warmth to this hostile environment.

Gemeiner Lein (Linum usitatissimum), auch Saat-Lein oder Flachs genannt, ist eine alte Kulturpflanze, die zur Faser- (Faserlein) und zur Ölgewinnung (Öllein, Leinsamen, Leinöl) angebaut wird. Er ist eine Art aus der Gattung Lein (Linum) in der Familie der Leingewächse (Linaceae) und die einzige Lein-Art, deren Anbau eine wirtschaftliche Bedeutung hat. Es gibt mehrere Convarietäten sowie etliche Sorten. In der Praxis wird nach der Hauptverwendung Faserlein und Öllein unterschieden.
Das Artepitheton usitatissimum bedeutet in Latein sehr nützlich und bezieht sich auf die vielfältige Verwendbarkeit.„Flachs“ leitet sich von „flechten“ ab und bezieht sich auf die Verarbeitung.

Flax (also known as common flax or linseed), with the binomial name Linum usitatissimum, is a member of the genus Linum in the family Linaceae. It is a food and fiber crop that is grown in cooler regions of the world. The textiles made from flax are known in the West as linen, and traditionally used for bed sheets, underclothes and table linen. The oil is known as linseed oil. In addition to referring to the plant itself, the word "flax" may refer to the unspun fibers of the flax plant. The plant species is known only as a cultivated plant, and appears to have been domesticated just once from the wild species Linum bienne, called pale flax.
