I'm back from a two week trip with two of my friends 馃槉鉂わ笍 It was very nice and laid-back, the weather was so much better than we anticipated, and of course we saw lots of beautiful sights.
Like Dean Village in Edinburgh:

And the conservation village Luss, where we spent an absolutely lovely sunny autumn day:

We also saw many lochs, like Loch Shiel here:

Isle of Skye was great too, Portree for example was a nice town to visit (I am a sucker for colourful houses):

We went on an awesome boat tour, where we saw porpoises, seals, magnificent white-tailed eagles and dolphins (left).
Our hike to the Bone Caves in Ullapool (right and below) was also a highlight for me:

To sum it up: Scotland was as rugged and beautiful as I remembered, with the added beauty of all the fall colours! 馃槏馃崅

2,300-Year-Old Plush Bird from the Altai Mountains of Siberia, c.400-300 BCE: this figure was crafted with a felt body and reindeer-fur stuffing, all of which remains intact
Tumblr media
This plush bird was sealed within the frozen barrows of Pazyryk, Siberia, for more than two millennia, where a unique microclimate enabled it to be preserved. The permafrost ice lense formation that runs below the barrows provided an insulating layer, preventing the soil from heating during the summer and allowing it to quickly freeze during the winter; these conditions produced a separate microclimate within the stone walls of the barrows themselves, thereby aiding in the preservation of the artifacts inside.
This is just one of the many well-preserved artifacts that have been found at Pazyryk. These artifacts are attributed to the Scythian/Altaic cultures.
Currently housed at the Hermitage Museum.

By the time Reg Uhr was back on the Suttor and Bowen in 1866, Philip Sellheim had walked off Strathmore and Cuthbert Fetherstonhaugh had lost the Hermitage to his creditors. Yet in his ruin Fethers found consolation.
For though I had money, labour, and to some extent, health, I had in a most extraordinary manner in 1865, while at The Hermitage, found that which is of a thousandfold greater value than riches, success and health all put together. I had found myself, I had found my own soul, and I had found God.
So many of his sins were now clear to him. But not on the list in his memoirs was the massacre of Aborigines.
