Marlis Hazleton touring Lublin- Poland. Taken in Fall 2001. Marlis and Lesley in Lublin, Poland.

Lublin Old Town is one of the most precious Polish complexes of historic buildings. The Crown Tribunal and the 14th-century Kraków Gate leading from the Old Town to the city center are commonly considered symbols of the city. The gate is built in a gothic style and has some baroque elements added in the 18th century.

The district is one of Poland's official national Historic Monuments .

<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ezee123/55088262395/" title="The jagged cliffs as you climb up the Khardung La"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55088262395_f53424e73f_m.jpg" width="240" height="159" alt="The jagged cliffs as you climb up the Khardung La" /></a></p>

<p>Sheer mountain sides rise up full of snow and ice as well as rock, scree and cliffs where the sun melts it away. These are midway as you climb up from the North Pullu to the Khardung la Pass.<br />
<br />
The reddish mounds rising up in the diagonal frame atop the foregraound mountainside have been shaped by millions of  of years of erosion of the soil of the erstwhile upraised Thethys Sea which existed in the Mesozoic era when the Himalayas were formed. ( About 65 -250 million years ago )<br />
<br />
<br />
Tracing back centuries before it became the &quot;highest motorable road,&quot; Khardung La was a vital artery of the ancient Silk Route. <br />
<br />
Historically, this pass served as a high-altitude bridge for massive caravans connecting India to Central Asian trade hubs like Kashgar and Yarkand. <br />
<br />
It was an ancient trade hub where every year roughly 10,000 horses and camels braved the pass, hauling pashmina wool, silk, and spices.<br />
<br />
The double-humped Bactrian camels can still be found in the Nubra Valley's Hunder dunes and are direct descendants of those original Silk Route pack animals. I have not ridden any but did manage to take some photos on the trip. Please see in the comments section.<br />
<br />
During World War II, the route was briefly reconsidered for its strategic value in an attempt to transfer war materials to China.<br />
<br />
Today, it remains a critical route for the Indian Army to supply the Siachen Glacier, the world's highest battlefield. <br />

<p>Time to spice things up. I attended a cooking class in Marrakesh, Morocco, a couple of years ago. We had to eat what we prepared, and I survived.</p>

<p>Das Bild zeigt eine weite Ansicht des Mondtals (Valle de la Luna) in Bolivien, nahe La Paz. Die Landschaft ist geprägt von unzähligen, stark erodierten Lehm- und Sandsteinformationen, die wie spitze Türme und Nadeln in den Himmel ragen und eine surreale, mondähnliche Szenerie bilden. Die Farben der Felsen variieren von hellem Beige bis zu dunklerem Braun. Im oberen Bereich des Bildes, auf einem erhöhten Plateau, ist ein braunes Gebäude mit einem einzelnen Baum davor zu sehen. Weiter unten, inmitten der zerklüfteten Landschaft, befindet sich eine markante rote Aussichtsplattform, auf der sich mehrere Personen aufhalten. Entlang der Wege zwischen den Formationen sind weitere kleine Gruppen von Menschen erkennbar, die die Dimensionen der Landschaft verdeutlichen. Im Hintergrund erheben sich bläuliche Bergketten. Der Himmel ist strahlend blau und mit grossen, flauschigen weissen Kumuluswolken bedeckt. Vereinzelt sind kleine grüne Pflanzen in den Tälern der Formationen zu sehen.</p>

<p>Eine vertikale Nahaufnahme zeigt einen kräftigen, grünen Säulenkaktus, dessen Oberfläche dicht mit zahlreichen langen, scharfen, goldgelben bis braunen Stacheln besetzt ist. Der Kaktus ist scharf fokussiert und nimmt den grössten Teil des Bildes ein. Im unscharfen Hintergrund sind die charakteristischen, erdfarbenen und ockerfarbenen Felsformationen des Mondtals (Valle de la Luna) bei La Paz, Bolivien, zu erkennen, darüber ein Streifen blauen Himmels mit einigen weissen Wolken. Das helle Sonnenlicht betont die Textur und die Farbe der Stacheln und des Kaktuskörpers.</p>

<p>Das Bild zeigt eine beeindruckende Panoramalandschaft des Valle de la Luna (Mondtal) in der Nähe von La Paz, Bolivien. Im Vordergrund dominieren bizarre, säulenartige und zerklüftete Erosionsformationen aus Lehm und Sandstein in verschiedenen Gelb- und Brauntönen, die an eine Mondlandschaft erinnern. Einige spärliche Büsche und Gräser sind auf den weniger steilen Hängen zu sehen. Im Mittelgrund erstreckt sich eine Ebene mit weiteren erodierten Hügeln und einigen vereinzelten Gebäuden mit roten Dächern. Im Hintergrund erheben sich majestätische, bewaldete Berge unter einem teilweise bewölkten blauen Himmel. Die Lichtverhältnisse deuten auf einen sonnigen Tag hin.</p>

<p>Das Foto zeigt eine beeindruckende Landschaft des Valle de la Luna (Mondtal) in der Nähe von La Paz, Bolivien. Im Vordergrund und Mittelgrund dominieren bizarre, stark erodierte Lehm- und Sandsteinformationen, die an eine Mondlandschaft erinnern. Diese hellbraunen bis beigefarbenen Säulen und Spitzen sind das Ergebnis von Wind- und Wassererosion. Zwischen den Formationen wächst spärliche, trockene Vegetation. Auf den höher gelegenen Plateaus sind mehrere Gebäude zu sehen, darunter ein markantes Holzhaus mit dunklem Dach und ein weisses Haus. Ein rotes Unterstandgestell steht auf einer flachen Fläche über den erodierten Schluchten. Im Hintergrund erheben sich bewaldete und karge Berge unter einem teilweise bewölkten blauen Himmel. Die Szenerie vermittelt einen Eindruck von der einzigartigen Geologie der Region.</p>

<p>While hiking along the Black Butte Trail, I took in this view looking southwest down a mountainside to a valley below with Interstate 5 going through. Beyond, more distant hills and mountains of the Trinity Mountains with Mount Eddy were visible. This area is in the Shasta–Trinity National Forest.</p>

<p>A  more intimate follow up to the previous photo of Moreton Bay Fig trees on Norfolk Island. Here you can see the true nature of a strangler fig as, befitting of its name, it slowly strangles one of the iconic Norfolk Island Pine trees growing out of the fig's buttress roots. For the moment it seems more like a gentle embrace, but with time that stronghold will be come much tighter, before taking over the entire pine. Either way, the future of both trees is now firmly intertwined.<br />

<p>Who will rise up for me against the wicked?<br />
    Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?<br />
Unless the Lord had given me help,<br />
    I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.<br />
When I said, “My foot is slipping,”<br />
    your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.<br />
When anxiety was great within me,<br />
    your consolation brought me joy.<br />
<br />
[Psalm 94:16-19 NIV]<br />
<br />
5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:<br />
<br />
1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)<br />
<br />
2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)<br />
<br />
3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)<br />
<br />
4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)<br />
<br />
5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)<br />
<br />
Read the Bible for yourself. Allow the Lord to speak to you through his Word. YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE!</p>
