They love to toss food out of the bowl, but I thought they were so cute here, so I don’t mind the mess.
...Le château fut bâti à partir du XIIIe siècle par Robert II, comte de Dreux et de Braine.
La place passa, comme nombre de forteresses de la région, aux mains du prince Louis d'Orléans (1372-1407) en 1395.
Ce frère du roi Charles VI (1380-1422) cherchait alors à s'implanter profondément dans la région et se trouvait notamment en possession de Coucy, la Ferté-Milon et Pierrefonds.
Le château resta dans le patrimoine de la famille d'Orléans jusqu'en 1498, date à laquelle Louis II d'Orléans monta sur le trône de France (Louis XII, 1498-1515).
Louis XII semble avoir donné Fère-en-Tardenois vers 1514 à son gendre François d'Angoulême (futur François Ier).
Devenu roi à son tour, François Ier l'octroya au maréchal Anne de Montmorency en 1528. Connétable de France en 1537, cet ami du souverain à la salamandre entreprit de modifier en profondeur la vieille demeure féodale pour la transformer en somptueux palais renaissance.
Entre 1555 et 1560, il confia à l'architecte Jean Bullant le soin de construire un magnifique pont-galerie...

This is a part of a series of 33 scenes from the Book of Exodus built of LEGO bricks.
Then the Lord said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning, confront Pharaoh and say to him, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go, so that they may worship me, or this time I will send the full force of my plagues against you and against your officials and your people, so you may know that there is no one like me in all the earth. For by now I could have stretched out my hand and struck you and your people with a plague that would have wiped you off the earth. But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth. You still set yourself against my people and will not let them go. Therefore, at this time tomorrow I will send the worst hailstorm that has ever fallen on Egypt, from the day it was founded till now. Give an order now to bring your livestock and everything you have in the field to a place of shelter, because the hail will fall on every person and animal that has not been brought in and is still out in the field, and they will die.’”
Those officials of Pharaoh who feared the word of the Lord hurried to bring their slaves and their livestock inside. But those who ignored the word of the Lord left their slaves and livestock in the field.
Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that hail will fall all over Egypt—on people and animals and on everything growing in the fields of Egypt.” When Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky, the Lord sent thunder and hail, and lightning flashed down to the ground. So the Lord rained hail on the land of Egypt; hail fell and lightning flashed back and forth. It was the worst storm in all the land of Egypt since it had become a nation. Throughout Egypt hail struck everything in the fields—both people and animals. It beat down everything growing in the fields and stripped every tree. The only place it did not hail was the land of Goshen, where the Israelites were.
Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. “This time I have sinned,” he said to them. “The Lord is in the right, and I and my people are in the wrong. Pray to the Lord, for we have had enough thunder and hail. I will let you go; you don’t have to stay any longer.”
Moses replied, “When I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands in prayer to the Lord. The thunder will stop and there will be no more hail, so you may know that the earth is the Lord’s. But I know that you and your officials still do not fear the Lord God.”
Then Moses left Pharaoh and went out of the city. He spread out his hands toward the Lord; the thunder and hail stopped, and the rain no longer poured down on the land. When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had stopped, he sinned again: He and his officials hardened their hearts. So Pharaoh’s heart was hard and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the Lord had said through Moses.

In 2012, as part of the Calgary Stampede centennial celebrations, the Public Art and the Historical committees, created the Calgary Stampede art walk. The art walk includes 17 significant outdoor pieces of art including murals and bronze sculptures, found throughout Stampede Park. One of the most notable pieces is named “By the Banks of the Bow." It features 15 horses and 2 cowboys and is one of the largest pieces of art in North America. In 2014,”100 Years of Champions” was unveiled. It honours the champions of the Calgary Stampede rodeo and chuckwagon races.-the men and women who finished first in their respective events. This walk takes place within the Stampede Park which lies in the heart of downtown Calgary. The Calgary Stampede is proud to facilitate, educate and share the many symbols , cultural icons and legends that make Calgary such a great city.
The Public Art Committee was created in 2008 with a mandate to reach out to the community at large, tell the story of, and retain our western heritage and values. The Historical committee promotes the history of the Calgary Stampede through displays, outreach, and other programs.

Part of the Tasmanian World Heritage Area, the Walls of Jerusalem National Park is one of finest wilderness areas of the island. The mountains of the Walls of Jerusalem are so spectacular it once took biblical names to describe them: Solomon's Throne, King David's Peak, Mt. Jerusalem, or the Temple.
With the neighbouring Cradle Mountain area the park shares many of its characteristics – a series of craggy dolerite peaks that enclose a central basin with alpine tarns, pencil pine forests and open moorland. What sets the Walls of Jerusalem apart from Cradle Mountain is the lack of visitors - the only way in is on foot, with walking tracks approaching the Walls from several directions.
A rather small and secluded national park, the Walls of Jerusalem is a destination still off the beaten path, suitable for a shorter trip with a few overnight stays. The footpaths in the park are well maintained, though more advanced routing options (e.g. Zion Gate and Zion Vale) would require gaiters since some of the less frequented tracks are overgrown by dense scrub.

Having returned from South Coast Track to Hobart couple of days ago, we drove to northern Tasmania during a period of changeable weather, and seeing a promising sunny weather window being forecast over Christmas break we took our chances and set out on a 4-days long hiking trip across the national park, an area I've been aware since my Overland track crossing couple of years ago.
We took the trip easy; our daily portions were just around 10 kilometres per day. The less we hiked with backpacks on our shoulders, the more we enjoyed the landscape given the sunny weather that was of a constant bliss throughout the trip.
The Oberon class was a direct follow on of the Porpoise-class, with the same dimensions and external design, but updates to equipment and internal fittings, and a higher grade of steel used for fabrication of the pressure hull.[1]
As designed for British service, the Oberon-class submarines were 241 feet (73 m) in length between perpendiculars and 295.2 feet (90.0 m) in length overall, with a beam of 26.5 feet (8.1 m), and a draught of 18 feet (5.5 m).[2] Displacement was 1,610 tons standard, 2,030 tons full load when surfaced, and 2,410 tons full load when submerged.[2] Propulsion machinery consisted of 2 Admiralty Standard Range 16 VMS diesel generators, and two 3,000 shaft horsepower (2,200 kW) electric motors, each driving a 7 feet (2.1 m) 3-bladed propeller at up to 400 rpm.[2] Top speed was 17 knots (31 km/h; 20 mph) when submerged, and 12 knots (22 km/h; 14 mph) on the surface.[2] Eight 21-inch (530 mm) diameter torpedo tubes were fitted (six facing forward, two aft), with a total payload of 24 torpedoes.[2] The boats were fitted with Type 186 and Type 187 sonars, and an I-band surface search radar.[2] The standard complement was 68: 6 officers, 62 sailors.[2]
Ocelot was laid down by Chatham Dockyard on 17 November 1960, and launched on 5 May 1962.[2] The boat was commissioned into the Royal Navy on 31 January 1964.[2] Ocelot was the last submarine built for the Royal Navy at Chatham Dockyard, although three more Oberons; Ojibwa, Onondaga and Okanagan—were built for the Royal Canadian Navy
Operational history[edit]
After commissioning, Ocelot was assigned to the 3rd Submarine Squadron, based at HMNB Clyde, in Faslane.
During the 1960s, Ocelot took part in clandestine missions.[3] Ocelot attended the 1977 Silver Jubilee Fleet Review off Spithead when she was part of the Submarine Flotilla.
Decommissioning and fate[edit]
HMS Ocelot was paid off in August 1991 as the conventional submarine fleet of the RN began to decline, making way for the nuclear fleet. She was sold in 1992 and preserved as a fully tourable museum in Chatham Historic Dockyard.
In November 2013 the interior of HMS Ocelot was added to Google Street View by Google Business Photos Agency, CInsideMedia Ltd

My first complete hairstyle set. I was hoping to get one of each eye color but somehow ended up with 2 blues and 2 aqua's. Might need to think about doing some trades;)
I spent several hours in the darkroom Saturday night working on this photo of Positano. Read more on this week's S+ART Blog Post.
