ALSO: Yet another bird-in-poison-hemlock shot. I could probably do a calendar at this point
Best of Friends_The Fox and the Hound
When you're the best of friends
Having so much fun together
You're not even aware you're such a funny pair
You're the best of friends
Life's a happy game
You could clown around forever
Neither one of you see's your natural bondaries
Life's one happy game
If only the world wouldn't get in your way
If only people would just let you play
They'd say you're both being fools
You're breaking all the rules
They can't understand
The magic of your wonderland
When you're the best of friends
Sharing all that you discover
When these moments have passed
Will that friendship last
Who can't say there's a way
Oh, I hope
I hope it never ends
'Cause you're the best of friends

Ordonné prêtre à Paris en 1685, Jean-Baptiste Labat poursuit des études scientifiques à Nancy.
En 1693, il est volontaire et part comme missionnaire avec l'autorisation des responsables de l'ordre des dominicains aux Antilles. Le 29 janvier 1694, il débarque en Martinique. Il rejoint ses pères à la paroisse de Macouba, où il travaille pendant deux ans à développer la paroisse et construit de nombreux édifices. En 1696, il voyage en Guadeloupe et en Dominique puis est nommé procureur syndic des îles d'Amérique à son retour en Martinique.
Il visite les Antilles françaises, néerlandaises et anglaises de Grenade à Hispaniola. Dans ses récits, rédigés en 1698, il évoque de nombreux aspects de la société caribéenne dont l'esclavage colonial. Il est lui-même un fervent défenseur de l'esclavage et possède des esclaves. Il décrit les conditions de vie des esclaves martiniquais et leur passion pour la danse. Il est également le témoin privilégié d'un autre aspect de cette société, la flibuste, pour laquelle ses écrits sont une source d'une grande importance.
Il fonde l'exploitation sucrière de Fonds-Saint-Jacques à Sainte-Marie en Martinique, et les paroisses de Le Robert et Le François (appelées cul-de-sac Robert et cul-de-sac François dans Nouveau Voyage aux Isles Françoises de l'Amérique). Il aide à développer et moderniser l'industrie de la canne à sucre dans les Antilles françaises. Il assiste le botaniste Charles Plumier dans son travail quand celui-ci séjourne aux Antilles, même s'il[Qui ?] jugeait la mission que lui a confié Louis XIV plus qu'inutile. Il fortifie et prépare la défense de la Guadeloupe (dont il reste la tour du Père-Labat) puis prend part au combat lors de l'attaque britannique de l'île en 1704. Il est nommé vice-préfet apostolique la même année.
En 1706, il rentre en Europe et est nommé en Italie ou il entreprend la rédaction du célèbre Nouveau Voyage aux isles Françoises de l'Amérique à partir des notes journalières qu'il avait prises toutes ces années durant. Il tente d'organiser son retour aux Amériques mais n'obtient jamais l'autorisation de sa hiérarchie. Il réside à Paris en 1716, dans le couvent de la rue Saint-Honoré où il exerce les fonctions d’agent du Maître général de l’Ordre jusqu'à sa mort1
Ordained priest in Paris in 1685, Jean-Baptiste Labat pursued scientific studies in Nancy.
In 1693, he volunteered and left as a missionary with the authorization of the officials of the Dominican order in the Antilles. On January 29, 1694, he landed in Martinique. He joined his fathers in the parish of Macouba, where he worked for two years to develop the parish and built many buildings. In 1696, he traveled to Guadeloupe and Dominica then was appointed syndical prosecutor of the American islands on his return to Martinique.
He visits the French, Dutch and English West Indies from Grenada to Hispaniola. In his stories, written in 1698, he evokes many aspects of Caribbean society, including colonial slavery. He is himself a staunch defender of slavery and has slaves. It describes the living conditions of Martinican slaves and their passion for dancing. He is also the privileged witness of another aspect of this society, the flibust, for which his writings are a source of great importance.

And the award for the best supporting act goes to........
37716 and 37422 outside York Thrall (Holgate) during the evening on Sat 16th December 2023.
These are 2 out of a total of 5 Class 37’s that were included in the line up, following the end of the locomotives use on the 2023 railhead treatment trains based at York. I feel a bit mean referring to these 2 as a mere supporting act. They were of course much more than that, although it's probably fair to say that the majority of attention went the way of the other 3.
The photo shoot was organised by the well respected Network Rail Director Chris Gee, and involved a huge amount of detailed preparation and organisation amongst both DRS and Network Rail, as well as numerous individuals. It was a great success and all of the proceeds raised (£3,000.00) will be donated to Martin House Hospice.

My image for Egyptian pyramids at night taken at Mokattam mountain in Cairo.
Foreground was a stack of around 14 images ( different exposure times and iso values) with canon lens 100-400 mm to form HDR image with multi row focus to reveal the details as much as possible especially for the pyramids which are located in very light polluted area.
I waited for the best time to take these images and follow with weather forecast to see the day which has the lowest dust concentration in air and best air quality to shoot the pyramids from this very far distance ( around 20 km).
For the sky image its a stack of 20 images at 5 seconds ISO 200. by canon 200 D camera.
For the comet Leonard its a stack of 120 images at 30 seconds gain 120 by ZWO 294 mm pro.

After a long winter Full of bad news, the Covid pandemic Lockdown, self isolation, Mental health issues, I could go on.
It was a great to be able to look forward and get out with the camera and photograph one of my interests on my favourite heritage railways . The Severn Valley railway. .
I chose this as my Best shot of 2021 as it was a beautiful warm sunny spring day, at a superb Location and things were begining to look up as Covid vaccines were being rolled out across the world to combat the pandemic, and this was the first shot I took that I was fair pleased with.
Thanks for all your Views, Comments and Faves over the past year.
