You will notice the Romanesque vault in transversal cradles and its arches with double roller and 2 colors. It is an almost unique case in Burgundy, only the rural church of Mont Saint-Vincent has a similar architecture.

On remarquera la voute romane en berceaux transversaux, avec des arcs à double rouleau et à 2 couleurs. C'est un cas presque unique en Bourgogne, seule l'église rurale de Mont-Saint-Vincent possède une architecture semblable.

Texel is an island in the province of North Holland in the Netherlands. It is the largest and most populated island of the West Frisian Islands in the Wadden Sea. The island is situated north of Den Helder. The dune landscape on Texel is a unique habitat for wildlife. Notable areas include De Slufter, where the tide comes in and meets the dunes, forming a marshy environment rich in both fauna and flora. Texel is known for its wildlife, particularly in winter, when birds of prey and geese take up residence. About one third of Texel is a protected nature reserve. Nature is at its most unspoilt and raw at the most southerly tip of the island. In particular, the De Hors sandbar shows you how nature goes about its work. New dunes are evolving all the time due to the effects of wind and water. The peace and quiet and the wide open expanses induce an inner calm. The bracing air at De Hors give new energy. This extensive stretch of sand came about as a result of the shifting sandbanks converging with Texel. Nature has free range on this exposed expanse of sand, creating space for the development of new dunes on which marram and rush grass can flourish. The area is also a favourite nesting spot for little terns.
The National Park Dunes of Texel covers roughly the entire dune area, including sandbank The Hors. On the northern edge of The Hors a lot of sand supply. There is wonderful to see how dune formation is done. Man grabs choose not to, given the nature free play. Kanitha exploring the northern edge of the Hors dunes.
Aan de zuidpunt van Texel ligt de Hors. De Hors is een uniek natuurgebied met een enorme strandvlakte. Het is het ruigste stuk van het eiland. Op de Hors kun je prachtig zien hoe jonge duintjes ontstaan. Je mag er vrij tussendoor lopen. Hier zie je hoe duinen ontstaan. Het landschap verandert voortdurend, de natuur krijgt helemaal vrij spel. Op de strandvlakte broeden dwergsterntjes. In de tweede helft van de vorige eeuw zijn op de Hors kunstmatige duinenrijen, stuifdijken, aangelegd die een stuk strand hebben afgesnoerd van de zee. Zo zijn de Horspolders en de Kreeftepolder ontstaan. Het zijn natte gebieden doordat de grondwaterstand hoger werd na de aanleg van de stuifdijken. Er komen bijzondere planten en dieren voor. Bij een grote toevoer van zand ontstaat duinvorming. Op Texel gebeurt dat alleen op de Hors. Langs de stuifdijken, maar ook midden op de vlakte kan biestarwegras groeien. Meestal verdwijnen deze graspollen weer als tijdens storm de zandvlakte onder water staat. Maar als ze het volhouden gaan ze zand vangen en ontstaan er miniduintjes. Die worden hoger en hoger, als er maar aanvoer van zand is. Als de duintjes zo groot zijn dat het zoete regenwater er in vastgehouden blijft, kan er helm gaan groeien. Dat gras vangt veel meer zand en de duinvorming gaat versneld door. Hoger op de Hors zijn veel jonge helmduintjes te vinden. Daartussen komen riet en andere moerasplanten te groeien zodra de grondwaterstand hoog genoeg wordt.

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.

La montée à la Roche de Solutré, assez tranquille, est l'occasion de découvrir des vues magnifiques, notamment sur la Roche voisine de Vergisson, avec son petit village bourguignon typique entouré de vignes.
J'aime beaucoup cette vue là que je prends pratiquement à chaque fois que j'y vais.

Gorgeous view
The quiet climb to the Roche de Solutré (Solutre's Rock) let us discover gorgeous views, especially on the nearby Roche de Vergisson and its typical small Burgundian village surrounded by vines.
I like very much this particular view that i take nearly every time i go there.

Taken during the blue hour.
For all Cinque Terre shots, I have to thank to my little sunrays and awesome one.
One for letting me shooting in peace and taking care my dog, and one for guiding me with long exposure and the trip along the way. The way they took good care of me.
Hope your day will be amazing.
Those crisp cloud-funnels looked almost like smoke!
It was pretty stormy here all through September...

Lying halfway between Lisbon and Oporto in the Beiras region of central Portugal, venerable Coimbra nestles on the banks of the River Mondego in dignified glory. Famed for its university - the oldest in the country - and a fantastic collection of handsome churches, serene monasteries, and lively cultural institutions, Coimbra is also a busy commercial hub with its many shops, boutiques, and appetizing choice of cafés and restaurants. The city center is divided into two neighborhoods, the Lower Town and the Upper Town. Its historic heart lies high above the Mondego on Alcaçova hill, known to the Romans as Aeminium. Here, medieval convents, cathedrals, and some fine museums cluster around the old University. Kings were born in Coimbra; they are entombed here, too. Indeed, it was once the proud capital of the Portuguese nation. This royal heritage permeates the city's steep hills, narrow lanes, and verdant parks, all of which are best explored on foot. And exploration further afield is rewarded with the largest and most compelling Roman site in Portugal, and an emerald-hued forest of enchanting allure and breathtaking beauty.
In terms of historic significance and romantic beauty, Coimbra is second only to Lisbon and Oporto. Its ancient buildings cling to the side of the hill that rises above the curves of the river Mondego, the ornate buildings of the famous University of Coimbra are its crowning glory. We are accessing the old part of the city through the Arco de Almedina, we find the old cathedral known as Se Velha. The most picturesque way to enter Coimbra's labyrinth of lanes is via Arco de Almedina. Coimbra's upper town rises quickly and picturesquely from the banks of the Rio Mondego. Photo taken from Hotel Astória.
De Portugese stad Coimbra heeft tijdens de middeleeuwen gefungeerd als hoofdstad. Destijds stond de stad bekend als Aeminium. De plaats ligt ongeveer 120 kilometer ten zuiden van de stad Porto vandaan. In Coimbra zijn veel waardevolle herinneringen bewaard gebleven die ons meer kunnen vertellen over de afgelopen zeven eeuwen. De universiteit heeft hier een groot aandeel in gehad. De vele studenten die de stad telt zorgen dat de plaatselijke horeca niets te kort komt. Er zijn dan ook veel gezellige clubs, bars, terrassen en restaurants te vinden. Qua festivals doet de stad Coimbra het ook erg goed. Massaal trekken bezoekers richting de stad als de ‘Festa das Latas of Queima das Fitas’ de stad lijken over te nemen. De studenten houden de historie volle stad Coimbra goed in leven. De rust vind je vooral in de groene delen van de stad. Parken zoals Penedo da Saudade, Santa Cruz Park, Mata Nacional do Choupal en de botanische tuin van de universiteit worden dan ook veelvuldig bezocht door zowel gasten als de lokale bevolking zelf. We wandelen door de straatjes en steegjes naar de best bewaarde oude Kathedraal van Coimbra. De Kathedraal uit de Romaanse periode trekt jaarlijks duizenden bezoekers. De binnenkant is even prachtig als de buitenkant doet vermoeden. Met name het schip en het hoofdaltaar zijn exceptioneel. Ook zijn er veel graven aanwezig die bestaan uit de meest bijzondere beeldhouwkunst. Vooral het graf van Vataça Lascaris met daarop het symbool van de tweekoppige adelaar waaruit men opmaakt dat zij van adel was, is een ware schat.

In Explore 2 octobre 2016 "#331"
This year has not been one of the better years in my life and I have really struggled just to continue with what needs to be done,
I have had a hard time breaking loose to focus on photography or even art. Every so often I force myself to not think of life and just take photos. This is another shot of Mono Lake from my recent road trip. I hope you all enjoy these little glimpses into my life.
On a side note I have been looking at the Flickr Explore lists every day, and looking back at what I am doing wrong with my art, and at first was bummed when my work was not measuring up, but now I have made my peace, and I have come to the conclusion that my work is not algorithm friendly and not worthy of "Explore" status.

Je n'avais pas mon trépied, mais un pilier plat sur le petit pont où je me trouvais m'a permis d'essayer mon nouveau filtre ND. J'ai été content du résultat.
A noter : un nant est un terme que l'on rencontre en Savoie, cela désigne un ruisseau ou un torrent.

The race of the "nant"
I did not took my tripod, but a flat pillar on the bridge where I stood allowed me to try my new ND filter. The result pleased me.
To note: a "nant" is a term that we find in Savoy, it means a beck or a torrent.
