Castillo de Calatañazor (Spain, 2016)

Garage in front not original (!), but yes, that's snow. Way off the beaten track in northern Spain in February. For me, the perfect way to avoid crowds and explore 'hidden' cultural treasures; and avoid the heat.

Aboriginal cultural heritage site: The kuyang - A giant 300 metre eel arrangement

"All it is is rocks in a paddock," Mr McMaster (farmer)

"Adrian McMaster allegedly used an excavator to remove rocks from an ancient stone arrangement resembling an eel on his Lake Bolac property, between Ballarat and Dunkeld, in 2021. I was moving the stones so I could get the [weed sprayer] in there," the 65-year-old told Ballarat Magistrates Court."

"To be different without fear."
T.W. Adorno, Minima Moralia

"The referendum, Mr Sivaraman said, had "mainstreamed a torrent of racism" and emboldened people to "immediately challenge" any small measure granting self-determination to Indigenous people. People feel like the defeat of the Voice has given them licence to espouse their racist views...Racism towards First Nations people within Australia had been a "constant" for 238 years that "escalated dramatically" when there was something to attach it to, like cultural heritage protections or the Voice referendum."

Saving earth and rock rings from ubiquitous bulldozers
Cultural landscapes and braided knowledge
Building a more holistic understanding of people, place and Country

"Aboriginal rings are circular, earth (or rock) features that are preserved at increasingly fewer locations across eastern Australia today."

"Braided knowledge approaches build authentic, respectful and reciprocal partnerships with Indigenous community that involve their participation in all aspects."

"...Braided knowledge approaches are lacking from studies of large, circular features known as Aboriginal earth (or rock) rings in Australia. These rings are only known to occur in Queensland, New South Wales (NSW) and Victoria. It is estimated that over 400 rings once existed in NSW and Queensland, but only a quarter remain today (Bowdler Citation2001). Many rings were destroyed following European colonisation, and land development, and those that do remain are vulnerable and fragile (Marks Citation1968; Ponosov Citation1965:69–70; Strong Citation2016; see also Bashta Citation2016). The word bora has been adopted broadly from the language of the Gamilaroi people of NSW and southern Queensland to describe both rings and associated ceremonies across eastern Australia (Fuller et al. Citation2013:30)."
