The van Eyck brothers. Brothers?

Jan van Eyck (born 1380-1395 in Maaseik, died 1441 in Bruges) was a well-known artist who was also highly valued by other artists at the time. But there are no statements from contemporary witnesses about his supposed brother Hubert. The Ghent Altarpiece is considered a joint work by the van Eyck brothers and is the main reason for Hubert's fame. The Ghent Altarpiece was started in the mid-1420s and, according to some information, was completed in 1432. According to other dates, the chapel was consecrated in 1432 and the altar was not placed until three years later. Hubert died in 1426. Albrecht Dürer, who saw this work with his own eyes, only spoke of Jan van Eyck's work and did not say a word about Hubert. If you consider how important the participation of Hubert later was to the city of Ghent, it is so surprising that he received no attention for a long time and died under poor conditions.

Perhaps it is far more likely that the city of Ghent later discovered that there was a citizen named Hubert van Eyck. A good opportunity to bring some fame to the city.

Western jackdaws (Coloeus monedula spermologus)

Jackdaws are very talkative birds and have - probably due to their high level of sociality - a very broad repertoire of sounds. Short, monosyllabic and metallic-clicking calls that sound higher than the vocalizations of larger ravens or crows are characteristic. The jackdaw has many situation-specific calls, most of which are choppy and high-pitched. But they also let out drawn-out, croaking vocalizations.

Although jackdaws can be found throughout the whole year, most populations migrate from the breeding areas in winter. The number of migratory birds depends on the climatic conditions. Around 70% of Polish jackdaws, but only 23% of Belgian jackdaws, leave the breeding areas in winter.

At the Hidroelectrica train station. You can reach Machu Picchu only via train or on foot. On my way to Machu Picchu Village (Aguas Calientes) I walked from Hidroelectrica along the railroad tracks. On my way back I took the train. I had a first class ticket, but didn't even know about that. I didn't notice that I entered the wrong compartment. We already started when I figured it out. After about half of the journey the train had to make a stop and a train attendant ran with me to my compartment. There I was completely alone except for two other passengers and the service staff.😁
