Cable Cars For TWO

 

Last weekend I packed our things for a two days out of town. We spend it along the river of Mosel, we walked up and down the hills and wandered in the forest. During the trip we visited old castles where knights lived before. We tried also a mini ship cruise along the river. There are a lot of tourist scattered around because its one of the greatest tourist spot in that area. There are also souvenirs shops and the market place is always full of people. Even a tattoo shop was lined by young and old visitors for its wonderful tattoo ideas creation. During our mini ship cruise we stayed at the deck to have a great look of the sceneries. There are a lot of camping site too along the river. We tried also riding a cable car going up a mountain which took only 6 minutes. We stayed in a hotel with medieval outlook and even the furnitures. We slept in a canopy bed. The trip was full of fun and excitement we enjoyed it a lot including the foods served.

about balance

Filed under: scenery — admin @ 1:10 pm

Yesterday was a public holiday here in the celebration of the feast of Corpus Christi. This is a feast in honour of the Holy Eucharist. Early morning there was a procession of the Holy eucharist held around the town. People were praying and singing as they headed to the church. Since its a free day we woke up late, its a chance to no worry early breakfast preparation. At saka no plans for that day’s event, I just want to stay at home because I can’t beat the heat of the sun. It’s summer here its time for my hybernation. Lol! After lunch I spend the wee hours with afternoon’s nap. It was 7 pm when I noticed the sun was ready to set and so we decided a walked in the fields. Napakaaliwas ng bukirin at refreshing ang hangin. Ang gandang pagmasdan ang gift of nature. But sad to say sometimes we forget to value, preserve and take care of it. This is how George Lindemann Jr and other environmentalist wanting to point out to us. Other reason that can destroy the balance of nature is the rising of technologies. Makikita sa pic above ang mga wind turbines, The Wind Power has many benefits for human population and the environment. Wind power does not produce air pollution. It benefits the public health and the environment as well as the economy. There are however environmental problems associated with wind power specially with the wildlife. First the noise from the turbines that distract the birds. There are lots of birds getting killed by the wind turbines. In this farm there is no balance of nature. The farm attracts other animals and insects which in turn attracts raptors like birds, hawks and eagles. But with the wind generators they are caught by the blades while hunting their preys. Sa panahon ngayon paano kaya tayo makakatulong sa pag preserve ng nature. In our own little ways we can start now by Recycling, when shopping bring your own bags. Saving enough water and energy, plant a tree, volunteer, join or donate to charities in preserving the nature. And lastly I encountered this somewhere its nice to share to everyone, “Every time you buy something mass-produced that you don’t need you make someone poorer (it’s the whole demand/supply thing)”
