Introducing you to an other place in Mauritanie. Chinquetti. Happy weekend! Home to some of the world’s most important medieval Quranic texts, this desert oasis of CHINQUETTI was once an intellectual hub. Rising like a mirage on the edge of Mauritania’s vast Erg Warane sand dunes, the ancient city of Chinguetti has welcomed travellers seeking shelter from the blistering Saharan heat for more than 1,200 years. Founded in the 8th Century as a caravan stop for pilgrims en route to Mecca, this red-stone desert oasis eventually blossomed into one of the biggest centres of science, religion and mathematics in West Africa. www.bbc.com/travel/article/20200709-chinguetti-mauritanias-ancient-saharan-city en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinguetti_Mosque

Das Nest befindet sich in einer ehemaligen Spechthöhle (siehe PiP1). Es ist jetzt sichtbar, weil die äussere Rinde abgeplatzt ist.

This is high up by cable car at 3,300 meters above sea level above Heaven Lake in Xinjiang, China. It was -10°C . The fences are heavily hung with red good luck charms bearing lovers’ names. Not unlike the custom in Europe of padlocks on bridges. These tinkle in the breeze….when not weighed down by so much snow. We were here in summer 26 years ago. No chairlift, and the lake had Kyrgyz herders’ yurts around it with their livestock in summer pastures. Now it has glass bridges, dozens of restaurants, and in season, thousands of local tourists per day. We chose the early spring, bitterly cold season to avoid just that. The day before in Urumqi had been -17° with heavy snow. Very best wishes for a happy Easter and family time to all. Love …Diana

Alte Widerstände und Leiterplatten habe ich immer hier herumliegen, wenn das Wetter mal nicht so einladend ist.

Possibly the drum from a washing machine

Die Sonne fänkt an durch den Nebel zu drücken.
