Arrivée à Saint-Malo

Le Rara Avis est une goélette à trois mâts de 27 mètres en acier. Construit en 1957 au chantier naval de Terneuzen aux Pays-Bas, c'est un dériveur à fond plat, comme les barges anglaises de la Tamise, à gréement marconi. Depuis 1974, le Rara-Avis appartient à l'Association AJD du père Jaouen.

Le père Jaouen, passionné de la mer, était convaincu de l’intérêt de mélanger les gens pour faciliter la réinsertion des personnes dites fragilisées. En 1951, il fonde l’association Amis de Jeudi Dimanche et rapidement il embarque en voilier des publics vulnérables et notamment des jeunes en difficulté scolaire ou sociale. Au projet de navigation s’ajoute en 1998 un projet de formation à l’entretien et à la rénovation de bateaux dans le Finistère. Une initiative qui perdure et est aujourd’hui soutenue par la Fondation TotalEnergies.

Namibia is one of the driest countries on the African continent. Avis Dam with water is a rare sight.

Neottia nidus-avis (Orchidaceae) 121 21

 

Neottia nidus-avis, the birds-nest orchid, is a non-photosynthetic orchid, native to Europe, Russia, and some parts of the Middle East.

It is widespread in shady woodland, especially beech, on basic soils.

Neottia nidus-avis grows to 40cm tall and each shoot can carry up to 60 flowers. Plants are not in any part green, deriving all their nutrition from a mycorrhizal fungus in the soil/litter, which in turn derives nutrition from the roots of trees. Plants are generally beige-brown, though sometimes yellowish or white forms are discovered. The flower labellum splits and strongly diverges at its lower end. This species of orchid can be hard to spot, being camouflaged against the leaf litter.

E' la memoria una distesa

di campi assopiti

e i ricordi in essa

chiomati di nebbia e sole

 

Respira

una pianura

rotta solo

dagli eguali ciuffi di sterpi

 

In essa

unico albero verde

la mia serenità

(David Maria Turoldo)

W022 arrives Hinton. C&O relics still stand at this slow river town. The present day yard around the corner at Avis is still used. This rail train will actually double up with a train staged in the yard. More rail and an extra engine for the trip east across the Alleghenies.
