I have been living in Burgundy (near Mâcon) for more than twenty years. And yet, i had never since nowadays visited Saint-Philibert Abbey in Tournus, at about 30 km from Macon. It was time to repair this oblivion ...
I was not disappointed, it is worth the detour, it is a magnificent Romanesque building built between the Xth century and the XIIth century.
The exterior of the abbey church is not very spectacular, it makes a very massive ensemble, almost like a fortress. I found remarkable the interior of the abbey with its Romananesque vaults in transverse cradles. This is what makes the abbey famous.
The church houses the tomb of Saint-Philibert.
Saint-Philibert was a monk, he had founded the abbey of Jumièges in Normandy in 654. At his death, he had been buried on the island of Noirmoutiers. Later, in 836, to escape the Norman invasions, monks carried off his relics, and the chance of their peregrinations led them as far as Tournus, where the relics were at last deposed in the year 875.

Lumière sur l'abbatiale Saint Philibert de Tournus
Cela fait plus de vingt ans que j'habite la Bourgogne, à coté de Mâcon et pourtant, je n'avais encore jamais jusque maintenant visité l'abbatiale Saint-Philibert de Tournus, à une trentaine de Km de là. Il était temps de réparer cet oubli ...
Je n'ai pas été décu, cela vaut le détour, c'est un magnifique édifice roman bâti entre le Xème siècle et le XIIème siècle.
L'extérieur de l'abbatiale n'est pas très spectaculaire, cela fait un ensemble très massif, presque comme une forteresse. J'ai trouvé remarquable l'intérieur de l'abbatiale avec ses voutes romanes en berceaux transversaux. C'est ce qui fait la renommée de l'abbatiale.
L'église abrite le tombeau de Saint-Philibert.
Saint-Philibert était un moine , il avait fondé l'abbaye de Jumièges en Normandie en 654. A sa mort, il avait été enterré sur l'île de Noirmoutiers. Plus tard, en 836, pour fuir les invasions normandes, des moines emportèrent ses reliques, et le hasard de leurs pérégrinations les conduisit jusqu'à Tournus où les reliques finirent par être déposées en l'an 875.

Trieste is a city and seaport in northeastern Italy. It is situated towards the end of a narrow strip of land lying between the Adriatic Sea and Italy's border with Slovenia, which lies almost immediately south and east of the city. Trieste is located at the head of the Gulf of Trieste and throughout history it has been influenced by its location at the crossroads of Germanic, Latin and Slavic cultures. In 2009, it had a population of about 205,000 and it is the capital of the autonomous region Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trieste province.
Trieste was one of the oldest parts of the Habsburg Monarchy from 1382 until 1918. In the 19th century, it was the most important port of one of the Great Powers of Europe. As a prosperous seaport in the Mediterranean region, Trieste became the fourth largest city of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (after Vienna, Budapest, and Prague). In the fin-de-siecle period, it emerged as an important hub for literature and music. However, the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Trieste's union to Italy after World War I led to some decline of its "Mittel-European" cultural and commercial importance. Enjoying an economic revival during the 1930s and throughout the Cold War, Trieste was an important spot in the struggle between the Eastern and Western blocs. Today, the city is in one of the richest regions of Italy, and has been a great centre for shipping, through its port (Port of Trieste), shipbuilding and financial services.

Best Wishes To All..
Bright brown and beautiful.
Autum was leaving me its yellow, red and brown,
Revealing the beauty of your face among nature's faces.
Winter is coming around,
Showing me your ribs and veins as a series of laces
The air you are breathing,
The world I am living,
Magic.Wonderland.

"The Aletsch Glacier (German: Aletschgletscher) or Great Aletsch Glacier (Grosser Aletschgletscher) is the largest glacier in the Alps. It has a length of about 23 km (14 mi) (2014), has about a volume of 15.4 km3 (3.7 cu mi) (2011), and covers about 81.7 km2 (31.5 square miles) (2011) in the eastern Bernese Alps in the Swiss canton of Valais. The Aletsch Glacier is composed of four smaller glaciers converging at Concordia, where its thickness was measured by the ETH to be still near 1 km (3,300 ft).[citation needed] It then continues towards the Rhône valley before giving birth to the Massa.
The whole area, including other glaciers is part of the Jungfrau-Aletsch Protected Area, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001.
Der Grosse Aletschgletscher ist der flächenmässig grösste und längste Gletscher der Alpen. Er befindet sich auf der Südabdachung der Berner Alpen im Kanton Wallis, Schweiz. Die Länge des Gletschers beträgt 22,75 km[1], die Fläche einschliesslich der Quellgletscher wird mit 81,7 km² angegeben[2]. Der Aletschgletscher entwässert über die Massa in die Rhone. Die Fläche des gesamten Einzugsgebiets der Massa beträgt 195 km², wovon 1973 etwa zwei Drittel vergletschert waren.[4] Oft werden bei der Flächenangabe der Ober- und Mittelaletschgletscher einbezogen, da diese früher mit dem Grossen Aletschgletscher verbunden waren. Die gesamte vergletscherte Fläche einschliesslich dieser Gletscher betrug 1973 etwa 128 km², für das Jahr 1863 wird eine Fläche von 163 km² angenommen.
Le glacier d'Aletsch est le plus grand glacier des Alpes, situé dans le sud de la Suisse dans le canton du Valais. Il est entouré au nord par le massif de la Jungfrau, au sud par la vallée du Rhône avec laquelle le glacier communique via les gorges de la Massa, à l'est par le lac Märjelen et à l'ouest par l'Aletschhorn."

HBW!
As of 7/1/25, I am correcting my earlier ID. I now think that this is a juvenile Black-crowned Night Heron.

2 exposure panorama.
It is hard to imagine how ginormous these rocks are unless you can put things into perspective. The photographer on the right is my brother who is a healthy six-footer. Compare him to some people you see walking in the distance by the pines who are dwarfed by 100+ ft tall trees. Now compare these trees to the ones in the distance on the rocks. Now you get the picture.
Half Dome on the right rises nearly 5,000 ft from the valley with a peak at 8,836 ft (2,693 m) above sea level. On the left front are the Royal Arches ending with Washington Column on the right and North Dome in the back. Between the two rock formations run Tenaya Creek and Mirror Lake.
