Barn Owl - Tyto Alba
Norfolk,
Like most owls, the barn owl is nocturnal, relying on its acute sense of hearing when hunting in complete darkness. It often becomes active shortly before dusk and can sometimes be seen during the day when relocating from one roosting site to another. In Britain, on various Pacific Islands and perhaps elsewhere, it sometimes hunts by day. This practice may depend on whether the owl is mobbed by other birds if it emerges in daylight. However, in Britain, some birds continue to hunt by day even when mobbed by such birds as magpies, rooks and black-headed gulls, such diurnal activity possibly occurring when the previous night has been wet making hunting difficult. By contrast, in southern Europe and the tropics, the birds seem to be almost exclusively nocturnal, with the few birds that hunt by day being severely mobbed.
Barn owls are not particularly territorial but have a home range inside which they forage. For males in Scotland this has a radius of about 1 km (0.6 mi) from the nest site and an average size of about 300 hectares. Female home ranges largely coincide with that of their mates. Outside the breeding season, males and females usually roost separately, each one having about three favoured sites in which to conceal themselves by day, and which are also visited for short periods during the night. Roosting sites include holes in trees, fissures in cliffs, disused buildings, chimneys and haysheds and are often small in comparison to nesting sites. As the breeding season approaches, the birds move back to the vicinity of the chosen nest to roost.
Once a pair-bond has been formed, the male will make short flights at dusk around the nesting and roosting sites and then longer circuits to establish a home range. When he is later joined by the female, there is much chasing, turning and twisting in flight, and frequent screeches, the male's being high-pitched and tremulous and the female's lower and harsher. At later stages of courtship, the male emerges at dusk, climbs high into the sky and then swoops back to the vicinity of the female at speed. He then sets off to forage. The female meanwhile sits in an eminent position and preens, returning to the nest a minute or two before the male arrives with food for her. Such feeding behaviour of the female by the male is common, helps build the pair-bond and increases the female's fitness before egg-laying commences.
Barn owls are cavity nesters. They choose holes in trees, fissures in cliff faces, the large nests of other birds such as the hamerkop (Scopus umbretta) and, particularly in Europe and North America, old buildings such as farm sheds and church towers. Buildings are preferred to trees in wetter climates in the British Isles and provide better protection for fledglings from inclement weather. Trees tend to be in open habitats rather than in the middle of woodland and nest holes tend to be higher in North America than in Europe because of possible predation.
This bird has suffered declines through the 20th century and is thought to have been adversely affected by organochlorine pesticides such as DDT in the 1950s and '60s.
Nocturnal birds like the barn owl are poorly monitored by the Breeding Bird Survey and, subject to this caveat, numbers may have increased between 1995-2008.
Barn owls are a Schedule 1 and 9 species.

Llandudno Pier was designed by Brunlees and McKerrow. Taking 2 years to construct, building commenced in 1876 and was completed in 1878. The Pier is known for it splendid Victorian and Edwardian elegance.
The Pier is constructed of wrought iron lattice girders resting on cast iron columns – finished with a traditional wooden decking. The Pier’s total length is 2295ft, of which the main Pier is 1234ft, stretching majestically into the Irish Sea.
Llandudno Pier was originally operated by the Llandudno Pier Company. In 1968 the Pier was purchased by the Trust House Forte Group and then became part of the First Leisure Corporation in 1983. In 1998 the pier was purchased along with the 3 Blackpool Piers; Eastbourne Pier, South Parade Pier and Blackpool Tower & Winter gardens by Mr Trevor Hemmings operating under Leisure Parks Ltd. Today Llandudno Pier is owned and operated by Adam Williams, Tir Prince Leisure Group and still retains it elegant Victorian appearance, referred to by some as the “Queen of Welsh Piers”
The Pier Pavilion was famous for its musical concerts and was the venue at which the world famous conductor, the late Sir Malcolm Sergeant first appeared (1926/1927 Seasons). In later years such household names as George Formby, Ted Ray, Semprini. Petula Clark, Arthur Askey, Bryan Johnson, Bill Maynard (“Greengrass” in Heartbeat), Jimmy Edwards, Russ Conway, the Beverley Sisters, and Cliff Richard all appeared at the Pier Pavilion. In 1994 Pier Pavilion was ravaged by fire, leaving just the ornate wrought iron supports standing.
The Piers Landing Stage was used for many years for sailings to and from Liverpool, the Isle of Man and pleasure trips around the North Wales Coast. Many famous faces have sailed to the Pier over the years including Ringo Starky, who went on the achieve fame in The Beatles – Ringo Starr. Sailing to and from the Pier came to an end in 2005 due to the condition of the Berthing area. Following extensive renovations to the landing stage 2015 saw the return of the Waverly & Balmoral sailings.
Since purchasing the pier Adam Williams continues to invest in the structural maintenance of Llandudno Pier. During the winter months Steel Replacement and renewal of decking takes place every year. In addition a small but dedicated Maintenance Team work all year long to maintain and improve the standard of the Piers décor and appearance. The good work will continue.

J'ai commencé il y a quelques temps un album sur la gare des Guillemins colorée par Daniel Buren en cours de préparation, voilà une série de photos avec le travail terminé, j'espère ne pas vous lasser car je me suis bien amusé à jouer avec les lignes, les courbes et surtout dans ce cas les couleurs.
I started some time ago an album on the Guillemins station colored by Daniel Buren in preparation, here is a series of photos with the finished work, I hope you don't get bored because I had fun playing with lines, curves and especially in this case colors.

L’histoire du pont commence en 1878, lors de la troisième exposition universelle de Paris qui se tient sur le champ de Mars de mai à octobre. Une passerelle métallique réservée aux piétons est construite entre les 15e et 16e arrondissements en prenant appui sur la petite île aux Cygnes.
Quelques années plus tard, un concours vient pérenniser l’ouvrage: des travaux effectués entre 1903 et 1906 donnent naissance au pont tel que nous le connaissons aujourd’hui. Disposant de deux étages, il permet alors la traversée des voitures et des piétons au premier niveau et le passage des métros au deuxième étage. C’est en est fini de l’exclusivité piétonnière !
C’est Jean-Camille Formigé (1845-1926), architecte de la Ville de Paris, qui dirige les travaux de construction et de décoration du pont. Louis Biette, ingénieur, est également en charge du projet.
Le début du XXe siècle coïncide avec le développement rapide du métro parisien. Les prouesses techniques permettent de sortir le métro de terre et de lui faire traverser la Seine au sommet du pont. Les usagers et usagères peuvent alors profiter d’une vue incomparable sur la Dame de Fer.
Avec l’essor du 7e art, des appareils photos et du tourisme, le pont de Bir-Hakeim, de par sa localisation mais surtout grâce à son architecture, devient le chouchou des touristes et des artistes.
The history of the bridge begins in 1878, during the third Universal Exhibition in Paris which is held on the Champ de Mars from May to October. A metal footbridge reserved for pedestrians is built between the 15th and 16th arrondissements, resting on the small island of Swans.
A few years later, a competition came to perpetuate the work: work carried out between 1903 and 1906 gave birth to the bridge as we know it today. With two floors, it then allows the crossing of cars and pedestrians on the first level and the passage of metros on the second floor. This is the end of pedestrian exclusivity!
It was Jean-Camille Formigé (1845-1926), architect for the City of Paris, who directed the construction and decoration of the bridge. Louis Biette, engineer, is also in charge of the project.
The beginning of the 20th century coincides with the rapid development of the Paris metro. Technical prowess enabled the metro to be lifted from the ground and cross the Seine at the top of the bridge. Users can then enjoy an incomparable view of the Iron Lady.
With the rise of the 7th art, cameras and tourism, the Bir-Hakeim bridge, due to its location but above all thanks to its architecture, has become the darling of tourists and artists.
Let battle commence….

This tunnel on the old road that ran through Shoshone Canyon west of Cody Wyoming ends at the powerplant near the base of the dam. This was the route that all the supplies and men needed to build the Buffalo Bill Dam traveled.
The Dam was authorized in 1904 by the newly created Bureau Of Reclamation. Buffalo Bill Cody proposed the dam to provide irrigation water to the area around his the town he had founded, Cody Wyoming. Construction commenced in 1905. After several setbacks, the dam was completed in 1910. At the time the Shoshone Dam was the tallest dam in the world at 325 feet (99 meters). A power plant was added in 1920. The dam and reservoir's name change to Buffalo Bill in 1946 to honor Mr. Cody and his dream of irrigated land in the Bighorn Basin.
Today the old road still provides access to the dam and some of the power plants. It is also used as a walking trail. The canyon walls in this area are made up of metamorphic and Igneous rocks that date to around 2.6 billion years ago. Geologist call this time period during the Precambrian the Archean Eon. These rocks represent a time when Wyoming was a separate microcontinent called the Wyoming Craton which existed 500 million years before the North American Continent formed. The layered gneissic complex in Shoshone Canyon consists of hornblende mica schist cut by granodiorite and granite pegmatites.

The almost daily occurrence of an interchange handoff is about to commence in Downtown Clifton, Arizona between the Arizona & Eastern Railway & the Freeport McMoran Incorporated. Both railroad's jobs begin their journey at the top of the valleys, opposite each other. The AZER begins at South Siding on the South side of Clifton & the FMI begins in the middle of Morenci. AZER's route features six tunnels, while the FMI's route features a 3-4% grade. This is all a part of the endless production of Morenci's Copper Mine, one of the largest in North America.
About two miles east of the “village” section of Francestown, New Hampshire lies a sheet of water now known as both “Scoby Pond,” and “Haunted Lake.” Even before the area was officially settled, it was called “Haunted Pond.”
It was written in Hon. Matthew Patten’s Diary (of Bedford NH) that when he was employed to survey or “run the boundaries of New Boston,” in 1753 he made allowance for “what part of the Haunted Pond it takes in.” The History of Francestown mentions that about the time of this survey that Patten and two of his assistants camped near the outlet of the Pond one night. “Soon after darkness set in, there commenced groanings and shrieks as of a human being in distress, and these continued, most plaintive and affecting, till nearly morning.” If there was any doubt about the appropriateness of this Pond’s name, certainly this odd event sealed its fate. For more than a generation it was called “Haunted Pond.”

Construction commenced in 1072, and completed in 1311, this building, at 520ft in height was claimed to have been the tallest building in the world at the time. It remained so until 1548 when the spire collapsed. It was not replaced.
The building was the home of one of the copies of the Magna Carta, but which is now held in nearby Lincoln Castle.
Looking from Lincoln Castle towards the Grade I Listed Lincoln Cathedral, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Building commenced in 1088 and continued in several phases throughout the medieval period. It was reputedly the tallest building in the world for 238 years (1311–1549) before the central spire collapsed in 1549 and was not rebuilt.
It is highly regarded by architectural scholars; the eminent Victorian writer John Ruskin declared: "I have always held... that the cathedral of Lincoln is out and out the most precious piece of architecture in the British Isles and roughly speaking worth any two other cathedrals we have."
Remigius de Fécamp, the first bishop of Lincoln, moved the Episcopal seat there between 1072 and 1092. Up until then St. Mary's Church in Stow was considered to be the "mother church" of Lincolnshire (although it was not a cathedral, because the seat of the diocese was at Dorchester Abbey in Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxfordshire).
Bishop Remigius built the first Lincoln Cathedral on the present site, finishing it in 1092 and then dying on 9 May of that year, two days before it was consecrated. In 1141, the timber roofing was destroyed in a fire. Bishop Alexander rebuilt and expanded the cathedral, but it was mostly destroyed by an earthquake about forty years later, in 1185. The earthquake was one of the largest felt in the UK. The damage to the cathedral is thought to have been very extensive.
After the earthquake, a new bishop was appointed. He was Hugh de Burgundy of Avalon, France, who became known as St Hugh of Lincoln. He began a massive rebuilding and expansion programme. Rebuilding began with the choir (St. Hugh's Choir) and the eastern transepts between 1192 and 1210. The central nave was then built in the Early English Gothic style.
The cathedral is the 3rd largest in Britain after St Paul's and York Minster, being 484 feet by 271 feet. Until 1549 the spire was reputedly the tallest medieval tower in Europe, though the exact height has been a matter of debate. Accompanying the cathedral's large bell, Great Tom of Lincoln, is a quarter-hour striking clock.
The two large stained glass rose windows, the matching Dean's Eye and Bishop's Eye, were added to the cathedral during the late Middle Ages. The former, the Dean's Eye in the north transept dates from the 1192 rebuild begun by St Hugh, finally being completed in 1235.
After the additions of the Dean's eye and other major Gothic additions it is believed some mistakes in the support of the tower occurred, for in 1237 the main tower collapsed. A new tower was soon started and in 1255 the Cathedral petitioned Henry III to allow them to take down part of the town wall to enlarge and expand the Cathedral, including the rebuilding of the central tower and spire.
In 1290 Eleanor of Castile died and King Edward I of England decided to honour her, his Queen Consort, with an elegant funeral procession. After her body had been embalmed, which in the 13th century involved evisceration, Eleanor's viscera were buried in Lincoln cathedral, and Edward placed a duplicate of the Westminster tomb there.

St. Stephen's Cathedral is the symbol of Vienna. Construction commenced in the 12th century. Today, it is one of the most important Gothic structures in Austria.
St. Stephen's Cathedral is 107.2 meters long and 34.2 meters wide. It has four towers. The tallest of these is the south tower at 136.44 meters. The tower room, from which there is a gigantic view across Vienna, is reached via 343 steps. A total of 13 bells hang here. However, the best-known bell of St. Stephen's Cathedral, the Pummerin, is located in the 68.3 meter-tall north tower. It is the second-biggest free-swinging chimed church bell in Europe. On the roof of St. Stephen's Cathedral, colorful roof tiles were laid to create the Royal and Imperial double-headed eagle and the coat of arms of the city of Vienna. The interior of St. Stephen's Cathedral was changed again and again over the centuries, right through to the Baroque period. (wien.info)

On a rainy Sept. 22, 2011, a pair of C44-9Ws lead a Quebec, North Shore & Labrador iron ore train through the loading loop and into the tipple at Carol Lake Mine near Labrador City, N.L. This gritty town in the far north is a challenge to get to, and at the time, lodging was hard to find due to the labor needed for an expansion under way at the mine. Both mine and railroad are operated by the Iron Ore Co. of Canada, which is in turn owned by international mining giant Rio Tinto. Labrador City is a mining town established by IOC when the mine opened in the 1950s.
Bang Saphan Yai (Thaïlande) - De retour d’un périple d’un mois à travers trois pays d’Asie (Thaïlande, Laos et Cambodge), je commence avec une photo issue de l’ultime étape thaïlandaise, avant mon retour à Bangkok, où j’ai repris l’avion le 3 mai 2023.
A chaque fois que je fais une escale en Thaïlande, je termine toujours mon voyage par Bang Saphan Yai, petit village qui fait face au golfe de Thaïlande, aussi appelé golfe du Siam. Un lieu ignoré des occidentaux, mais fréquenté le week-end par les Thaïlandais venus de Bangkok. Le reste de la semaine ont ne côtoie que les pêcheurs et paysans locaux.
Le petit port de Bang-Saphan-Yai est un lieu qui semble vivre hors du temps. Depuis des années que je pose régulièrement mon sac ici, rien ne semble vraiment changer. A chaque visite, je découvre de nouvelles lumières. Même quand le temps est maussade, l’ambiance reste magique.
J’ai pris cette photos à l’aube. Les pêcheurs sont déjà rentrés pour la plupart. Les premiers rayons du soleil commencent à percer un ciel jusqu'ici nuageux.
Ici, on pratique une pêche artisanale. Souvent de nuit. Quelques cageots de poisson ou d’encornets, tout au plus, sont capturés à chaque marée.
L’après-midi en revanche, je suis remonté à un quinzaine de kilomètres plus au nord, dans un port où étaient amarrées de grosses unités qui écument les fonds marins pendant des marées de plusieurs jours, avec des filets de plusieurs kilomètres de long. Quand on voit de tels armements on se demande comment il peut encore rester du poisson ? La question est surtout de savoir combien de temps en restera-t-il ? En Asie et particulièrement en Thaïlande, la préservation de la ressource par un pêche raisonnée et la mise en place de quotas, est un débat qui ne leur est toujours pas parvenu.
• Bang Saphan Yai (Thailand) - Back from a month-long trip through three Asian countries (Thailand, Laos and Cambodia), I start with a photo from the final Thai stage, before my return to Bangkok , where I took the plane back on the 3rd
May 2023.
Whenever I make a stopover in Thailand, I always end my trip in Bang Saphan Yai, a small village facing the Gulf of Thailand, also called the Gulf of Siam. A place ignored by Westerners, but frequented on weekends by Thais from Bangkok. The rest of the week you only rub shoulders with local fishermen and peasants.
The small port of Bang-Saphan-Yai is a place that seems to live out of time. For years that I regularly put my bag here, nothing really seems to change. At each visit, I discover new lights. Even when the weather is gloomy, the atmosphere remains magical.
I took this photo at dawn. The fishermen have already returned for the most part. The first rays of the sun begin to pierce a sky that has been cloudy so far.
Here, we practice artisanal fishing. Often at night. A few crates of fish or squid, at most, are caught at each tide.
In the afternoon, on the other hand, I went up to about fifteen kilometers further north, in a port where large units were moored which scour the seabed during tides of several days, with nets several kilometers long. When you see such armaments, you wonder how there can still be fish left ? In Asia, and particularly in Thailand, the preservation of resources through reasoned fishing and the establishment of quotas is a debate that has still not reached them.
La construction, commencée en 1374, ne se terminera réellement qu'au XIXe siècle. Le chœur et le transept sont achevés fin XIVe siècle, la nef dans la première moitié du XVe siècle. La voûte du collatéral nord et la fausse voûte de la nef sont achevées en 1530. Le portail est réalisé durant la première moitié du XVIIIe siècle. Le chevet est agrandi en 1863 et un déambulatoire est réalisé en 1865.

The earthquake was one of the largest felt in the UK. The damage to the cathedral is thought to have been very extensive: The Cathedral is described as having "split from top to bottom"; in the current building, only the lower part of the west end and of its two attached towers remain of the pre-earthquake cathedral.
After the earthquake, a new bishop was appointed. He was Hugh de Burgundy of Avalon, France, who became known as St Hugh of Lincoln. He began a massive rebuilding and expansion programme. Rebuilding began with the choir and the eastern transepts between 1192 and 1210. The central nave was then built in the Early English Gothic style.

projet el greco - N A N T E S
Cette urbanisation commencée en 1973 a été abandonnée au début des années 80, après que la mairie de Dénia ait retiré le permis au promoteur lorsqu'a commencé le processus de conversion de la zone du Montgó en parc naturel.
Le promoteur qui a lancé les travaux est la Société d'Études de Transactions Immobilières, basée à Genève. Des conflits entre ce promoteur et l'entreprise de construction, Dragados y Construcciones, ont provoqué l'arrêt des travaux et ont finalement conduit à la vente de l'urbanisation à une troisième entreprise, Valcomar, qui a essayé jusqu'en 1993 de reprendre les travaux, mais sans succès, car à cette époque, la Lloma del Castanyar, où les villas ont été construites, était déjà intégrée au Montgó. C'est précisément au cours de cette année que la mairie a entamé la procédure d'annulation du permis et, finalement, en 1999, la Haute Cour de justice a rejeté un appel du promoteur et confirmé l'illégalité du complexe résidentiel.
Ni Valcomar ni Dragados y Construcciones n'assument la responsabilité de la démolition.
les administrations publiques non plus.

Mon pays ce n'est pas un pays, c'est l'hiver...
Prise à travers le hublot, en attendant le départ vers le grand nord!
As Winter commenced, the Dark Winter Witch stirred in her shadowed glade, where the trees stood bare and the earth lay still. The snow had not yet fallen, but the air crackled with a bitter chill, and the sun’s light waned, swallowed by her gathering power. Her realm stretched across the twilight woods, a place of endless dusk where time felt thin and strange. Any who ventured too close were drawn in by her ethereal beauty, their minds clouded by whispers of warmth and wonder. But the deeper they wandered, the colder they grew, until their hearts turned to frost, and they became her silent thralls, cursed to linger in the darkness of her eternal winter.
