One photo from the ruin of the castle #neideck which we visited.
I like castles and ruins not just for their look but because they offer a huge amount of information and history!
Well happy weekend! And happy reading

This image captures a dramatic and historic scene featuring the ruins of a stone tower, likely part of an old castle or fortress, perched on a rocky cliff. The tower, constructed from weathered gray stone, stands tall against the backdrop of a bright blue sky dotted with fluffy white clouds. The structure has an arched window, hinting at its ancient architectural style and the passage of time.
A narrow, winding stone staircase with a metal handrail leads up to the tower, inviting the viewer to …

It started out as an exploratory bike ride in neighboring Botetourt County (locals pronounce it “bot-uh-tot”). The ride itself was a disaster of constantly getting lost in trying to connect from the Cherry Blossom Trail onto the Greenfield Trail. You have to take a few horse trails. They’re marked, but only so far as to tell you that you’re on a horse trail. Intersection? “Horse Trail” 😐

This should make it very easy to ensure that things are happening as you think they are and to conceptualise the behaviour of your stateful component hierarchies. (You can also use stateless components, of course, as is the currently documented workflow.)

A tiled path leads to a clearing with a bench drenched in warm sunlight from a blue-grey sky. Small pieces of greenery are on the right and left with the earth otherwise mostly clear and a light brown, and an old, strong three is on the opposite side of the bench. The end of the path is rounded off by a slightly raised edge, and beyond it is mostly green, but you can make out roofs of a few houses as well a small part of a lake if you know where it is.

I haven’t paid attention to when leaves have appeared in previo…

Steps Into The Unknown (2025)
(Actually a lie, since this was taken on the way back, just before sunset, but it was "into the unknown" a six hours earlier... These steps of the only partially secured path are leading up to around 100 meters above/along the increasingly more steep and narrow canyon. The rocks/slopes on the left go up almost another 2000m [out of view, of course]...)
