Thank you in advance for all your faves and comments. I might answer several days later. And I might post other photos in the meantime.

Merci d'avance pour tous vos faves et commentaires. J'y répondrai peut-être plusieurs jours après. Et je posterai peut-être d'autres photos entre temps.

Il s'agit de la 2ème randonnée dont j'ai eu le temps de trier les photos grâce à mon absence totale de connexion Internet pendant 2 semaines à Quiberon cet été. Et j'y ai pris un énorme plaisir. J'avais laissé de côté le tri des photos de cette rando car je savais que je risquerais de sélectionner beaucoup de candidates. Mais en même temps, il me tardait de ne pas laisser croupir ces photos.

France. Alpes. Massif du Dévoluy. Photo prise lors d'une rando en A/R au cours de laquelle nous sommes allés avec ma femme au Col de Charnier en passant par le Vallon de Charnier et en partant du hameau de Lachaup. Je me réjouissais de faire cette rando et je n'ai pas été déçu car elle figure parmi nos randos préférées de tous les temps ! ❤️

Cette photo a été prise au pied de l'arête EST du sommet de Roche Courbe, juste avant de rejoindre le Vallon de Charnier.

Le sommet qui trône au centre s'appelle Roche Courbe (2259m) et il fait partie des sommets que je trouve les plus beaux. Sur la droite, on voit la face EST de la Tête de Vallon Pierra (2512m). Quand on voit la face EST ou la face SUD de ce sommet, on a l'impression d'admirer une magnifique pyramide d'Egypte et au cours de cette randonnée, ce sont justement les 2 faces de ce sommet que nous avons eu la chance de contempler.

Ce Vallon de Charnier est un concentré du Dévoluy, dans tout ce qu'il a de plus beau ! ❤️

Sur la droite de la photo, je trouve que les nuages dessinent une espèce d'étoile filante. 😉

Connue depuis la colonisation romaine pour ses eaux bienfaitrices (restes de thermes romains en ruines), l'antique Rubiacum voit naître Saint-Mars au VIème siècle puis s'établir sa première communauté religieuse au VIIème siècle. La légende raconte qu'une jeune aveugle originaire de Grande-Bretagne fit le voyage jusqu'en Auvergne afin de rencontrer l'évêque de Clermont, Bonetus (connu également sous le nom de Saint-Bonnet, mort en 710). Lui permettant de retrouver la vue, celui-ci lui demanda en échange de fonder un monastère pour femmes. Édifiant une chapelle à l'emplacement de l'actuelle église, la communauté fut remplacé au IXème siècle par une colonie de moines bénédictins. Ceux-ci furent à l'origine de la construction de l'ancienne église romane. Construite à l'époque romane puis modifiée à des fins défensives au début du XIIIème siècle, l'église Saint-Léger fait figure de modèle unique dans une Auvergne où dominent les édifices de style roman et gothique. Même si l'on retrouve quelques exemples de ce type dans la région (comme le bâtiment des mâchicoulis de la cathédrale du Puy-en-Velay, la tour Clémentine à La Chaise-Dieu et des mâchicoulis sur le mur nord de l'église du Montet (03)), c'est surtout dans le Languedoc et en Provence que l'on est habitué à voir ce genre de monuments (cathédrales de Béziers et de Maguelone, église des Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer...). Pour trouver l'origine de ces ajouts quasi militaires que sont les mâchicoulis et les créneaux, il faut chercher un élément de réponse dans le conflit qui opposa les moines de l'abbaye de Mozac au comte d'Auvergne Guy II (mort en 1224). Voulant se protéger d'une éventuelle attaque surprise, les moines entreprirent la construction d'un système défensif faisant le tour de l'édifice. Ne conservant que les fenêtres basses et le cordon de billette qui les surmonte, ils supprimèrent la plupart des éléments décoratifs (corniche à modillons) ainsi que la toiture.

Known since the roman colonization for its water donors (the remains of roman thermal baths ruins), the ancient Rubiacum born Saint-Mars in the Sixth century and then to establish its first religious community in the Viith century. The legend tells of a young blind native of Great Britain, made the journey to Auvergne in order to meet with the bishop of Clermont, Bonetus (also known under the name of Saint-Bonnet, who died in 710). Enabling him to retrieve the view, they asked him in exchange to found a monastery for women. Building a chapel on the site of the current church, the community and was replaced in the Ninth century by a colony of benedictine monks. These were at the origin of the construction of the old romanesque church. Built in the romanesque period and then changed to defensive purposes at the beginning of the Thirteenth century, the church Saint-Léger is a unique model in a Auvergne is dominated by the buildings of the romanesque and gothic styles. Even if we find a few examples of this type in the region (such as the building of the battlements of the cathedral of le Puy-en-Velay, the tower Clementine in La Chaise-Dieu and of the battlements on the north wall of the church of Montet (03)), it is mostly in the Languedoc and in Provence that one is accustomed to see this kind of monuments (the cathedrals of Beziers and of Maguelone, the church of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer...). To find the origin of these additions, quasi-military, as are the machicolations and battlements, it is necessary to seek a response element in the conflict which opposed the monks of the abbey of Mozac in the count of Auvergne, Guy II (d. 1224). Wanting to protect against a possible surprise attack, the monks began the construction of a defensive system making the tour of the building. Keeping only the low windows, and the cord of billet which overcomes, they removed most of the decorative elements (cornice modillions), as well as the roof.

Conocido desde la colonización romana de su agua de los donantes (los restos de termas romanas ruinas), la antigua Rubiacum nacido en Saint-Mars en el siglo vi y, a continuación, establecer su primera comunidad religiosa en el siglo Vii. La leyenda cuenta la historia de una joven ciega nativo de Gran Bretaña, hizo el viaje a la región de Auvernia en el fin de reunirse con el obispo de Clermont, Bonetus (también conocido bajo el nombre de Saint-Bonnet, quien murió en el año 710). Lo que le permite recuperar la vista, se le pidió en cambio para fundar un monasterio para mujeres. La construcción de una capilla en el sitio de la actual iglesia, la comunidad y fue sustituido en el siglo Ix por una colonia de monjes benedictinos. Estos estaban en el origen de la construcción de la antigua iglesia románica. Construido en la época romana y luego se cambió a fines de defensa en el comienzo del siglo Xiii, la iglesia de Saint-Léger es un modelo único en una región de Auvernia está dominado por los edificios de los estilos románico y gótico. Incluso si nos encontramos con un par de ejemplos de este tipo en la región (tales como la construcción de las almenas de la catedral de le Puy-en-Velay, la torre Clementina en La Chaise-Dieu y de las almenas en el muro norte de la iglesia de Montet (03)), es sobre todo en la región de Languedoc y la Provenza que uno está acostumbrado a ver este tipo de monumentos (las catedrales de Beziers y de Maguelone, la iglesia de Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer...). Para encontrar el origen de estas adiciones, cuasi-militar, como son los matacanes y almenas, es necesario buscar un elemento de respuesta en el conflicto que opuso a los monjes de la abadía de Mozac en el conde de Auvernia, Tipo II (d. 1224). El querer proteger en contra de un posible ataque por sorpresa, los monjes comenzaron la construcción de un sistema defensivo de hacer el recorrido por el edificio.

Bekend sinds de romeinse kolonisatie voor de water-donoren (de overblijfselen van de romeinse thermische baden ruïnes), de oude Rubiacum geboren Saint-Mars in het Zesde eeuw en vervolgens tot de oprichting van het eerste religieuze gemeenschap in de Drie eeuw. De legende vertelt van een jonge blinde inwoner van Groot-Brittannië, maakte de reis naar de Auvergne om te voldoen aan de bisschop van Clermont, Bonetus (ook bekend onder de naam Saint-Bonnet, die stierf in 710). Het inschakelen van hem voor het ophalen van het uitzicht, vroegen ze hem in ruil om een klooster te stichten voor vrouwen. Het bouwen van een kapel op de plaats van de huidige kerk, de gemeenschap en werd vervangen in de Negende eeuw door een kolonie van de benedictijner monniken. Deze werden aan de oorsprong van de constructie van de oude romaanse kerk. Gebouwd in de romaanse periode en dan veranderd naar defensieve doeleinden aan het begin van de Dertiende eeuw, de kerk van Saint-Léger is een uniek model in de Auvergne wordt gedomineerd door de gebouwen van de romaanse en gotische stijlen. Zelfs als we een paar voorbeelden van dit type in de regio (zoals het gebouw van de kantelen van de kathedraal van le Puy-en-Velay, de toren Clementine in La Chaise-Dieu en van de kantelen op de noordelijke muur van de kerk van Montet (03)), wordt voornamelijk in de Languedoc en in de Provence dat men is gewend om te zien dit soort monumenten (de kathedralen van Béziers en van Maguelone, de kerk van Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer,...). Aan de oorsprong van deze toevoegingen, quasi-militaire, net als de machicolations en kantelen, is het noodzakelijk om te zoeken naar een antwoord element in het conflict dat tegen de monniken van de abdij van Mozac in de graaf van Auvergne, Guy II-d. 1224). Willen beschermen tegen een mogelijke verrassing aanval, de monniken begonnen met de bouw van een defensieve maken van de rondleiding van het gebouw. Het houden van alleen de lage ramen, en het koord van het de staaf die overwint, die ze verwijderd van de meeste van de decoratieve elementen (kroonlijst modillions), evenals het dak.

Noto fin dalla colonizzazione romana per le sue acque donatori (i resti delle terme romane rovine), l'antica Rubiacum nato a Saint-Marte nel Sesto secolo, e quindi di stabilire la sua prima comunità religiosa, nel Vii secolo. La leggenda narra che un giovane cieco nativo della Gran Bretagna, ha fatto il viaggio di Auvergne, per incontrare il vescovo di Clermont, Bonetus (anche conosciuto sotto il nome di Saint-Bonnet, che morì nel 710). Che gli permette di recuperare la vista, gli hanno chiesto in cambio di fondare un monastero per le donne. La costruzione di una cappella sul luogo dell'attuale chiesa, la comunità ed è stato sostituito nel Ix secolo da una colonia di monaci benedettini. Questi sono stati all'origine della costruzione della vecchia chiesa romanica. Costruito nel periodo romanico e poi modificati per scopi difensivi, all'inizio del Xiii secolo, la chiesa di Saint-Léger è un modello unico in Auvergne è dominato da edifici in stile romanico e gotico. Anche se si trova un paio di esempi di questo tipo nella regione (ad esempio la costruzione di parapetti della cattedrale di le Puy-en-Velay, la torre Clementina a La Chaise-Dieu e della merlatura sulla parete nord della chiesa di Montet (03)), è per lo più nella regione della Linguadoca e della Provenza che uno è abituato a vedere questo tipo di monumenti (cattedrale di Beziers e di Maguelone, la chiesa di Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer,...). Per trovare l'origine di queste aggiunte, para-militare, come sono le caditoie e i merli, è necessaria la ricerca di un elemento di risposta nel conflitto che oppone i monaci dell'abbazia di Mozac in il conte di Alvernia, Guy II (d. 1224). Volendo proteggere contro un possibile attacco a sorpresa, i monaci iniziarono la costruzione di un sistema difensivo di fare il giro dell'edificio. Mantenere solo la bassa di windows, e che il cavo di billet che supera, hanno rimosso la maggior parte degli elementi decorativi (cornice a modiglioni), così come il tetto.

From this mornings walk that did not last very long as I found this amazing little Dolophones on a bit of grass. I was excited to see if I could get a nice deep stack after noticing it has a flagpole on its back.

I went looking for a stick with some moss on it once I had that I had my needed ingredients. I used a cardboard box for the background which worked very well. I waited patiently trying to coax this guy into a nice spot. After several tries it seems it decided to get into the most awesome position ever and allowed me enough time to brace myself and capture 70 images it was almost as if it knew I had what I needed as I had just enough time to rattle off 70 and it moved.

I am so pleased with this image.

Australasian Grebe

Scientific Name: Tachybaptus novaehollandiae

Description:

The Australasian Grebe is a small waterbird with two distinct plumage phases. The non-breeding plumage of both the male and female is dark grey-brown above and mostly silver-grey below, with a white oval patch of bare skin at the base of the bill. During the breeding season, both sexes have a glossy-black head and a rich chestnut facial stripe which extends from just behind the eye through to the base of the neck. At this time, the eye becomes darker and the patch of skin at the base of the bill becomes pale yellow and more noticeable. When approached, Australasian Grebes usually dive under water.

Similar species:

The slightly larger (27cm to 30 cm) Hoary-headed Grebe, Policephalus poliocephalus, is quite different in breeding plumage. The throat is black and the head becomes dark grey with numerous overlying white plumes. Outside the breeding season, it can be confused with the non-breeding Australasian Grebe, but it can be distinguished by its dark crown that extends below the eye. It also has a greater tendency to fly off rather than dive when approached.

Where does it live?

Distribution:

The Australasian Grebe is found throughout Australia and throughout the Pacific region. Also self-introduced to New Zealand.

Habitat:

The Australasian Grebe is found in freshwater ponds or small waterways

What does it do?

Feeding:

Food consists mainly of small fish and water insects. Prey is normally caught during deep underwater dives, but some is taken on the surface. Like other grebes, the Australasian Grebe is often seen eating its own feathers and feeding them to its young. This behaviour is thought to help prevent injury from any sharp fish bones that are swallowed.

Breeding:

The Australasian Grebe may raise up to three successive broods in a season. The pale blue eggs are laid in a nest which is a floating mound of vegetation, normally anchored to a submerged branch or reed. The striped downy chicks are able to swim from birth and are cared for by both parents. When parents start breeding again, however, the young of the previous brood are driven away.

Minimum Size:

25cm

Maximum Size:

27cm

Average size:

26cm

Breeding season:

September to January in the south; January to April in the north

Clutch Size:

4 or 5

(So I'm obsessed with books. We have a HUGE book sale in October where there's books for a dollar and I like to refer to it as my Christmas lol.

I procrastinated on doing this: firstly because I wanted to avoid light, because I'm favoring sun flares, and secondly because I was watching Gray's Anatomy

I just couldn't keep my face still at that aperture : /

I might replace this on a second attempt later but I'm too tired from school to bother with it any more tonight

-also, I'm resolved to not square crop the next one - shooting in 620 makes me think in squares)

Taken a bit too far, for sliders sunday…

hss!

See the first comment box below for the standard version, the original from which all arose, and a screenshot of this version's photoshop file with the expanded layers panel and channels panel.

After converting to black and white in Lr, and cropping, it was brought into Ps. I liked the version edited as usual, but then decided to see what would happen if I slud things further.

I like the overlay glow that is often created with editing for an Orton effect. The first way I learned was from Tony Kuyper's tutorials. At the top of the layer stack a curves adjustment layer set to screen blend mode is created. Then create a merged up through it layer. Set it to multiply blend mode and use gaussian blur. Group those layers and possibly add a mask to the group, and possibly reduce opacity of the group.

I recently came across another way to do it in the Practical Photography magazine. They say duplicate the background layer a couple times but since I'd already done a lot of editing with quite a few layers, I created a new merged up layer at the top of the layer stack, then duplicated it. One of those layers is set to Multiply and blurred. The other is set to Screen and left as is. They are grouped and a curves adjustment layer is added to the group. The line is pulled up and left to lighten the group.

I ended up using both those ways of creating an Orton effect, and sliding opacity of each a bit for this.

Happy Sliding!

⭐️Thank you in Advance for your kind ‘Faves’ Visits and Comments they are so very much appreciated. 👍

I cannot always ‘Thank’ everyone individually, for their Visits and ‘Faves’ however, I will always try to respond and thank all those that leave a ‘Comment’. If I do not reply to your 'Comment', it is not because I am ignoring you, it's because I have not seen the 'Comment'.

Your 'Comments' do not always appear in 'Notifications' or Flickr mail, so, I am sorry for any delay in responding. Often your 'Comment' is only spotted 'On the Page' on the day, that I see it. (seen ONLY when replying to someone HAS 'Commented' on the image, and I see a notification)

Camera: Nikon FM2n

Film/Film Format: 35mm film Ilford HP5 Plus 400, Push 2

"Something there is that doesn’t love a wall,

That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,

And spills the upper boulders in the sun;

And makes gaps even two can pass abreast.

The work of hunters is another thing:

I have come after them and made repair

Where they have left not one stone on a stone,

But they would have the rabbit out of hiding,

To please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean,

No one has seen them made or heard them made,

But at spring mending-time we find them there.

I let my neighbor know beyond the hill;

And on a day we meet to walk the line

And set the wall between us once again.

We keep the wall between us as we go.

To each the boulders that have fallen to each.

And some are loaves and some so nearly balls

We have to use a spell to make them balance:

‘Stay where you are until our backs are turned!’

We wear our fingers rough with handling them.

Oh, just another kind of out-door game,

One on a side. It comes to little more:

There where it is we do not need the wall:

He is all pine and I am apple orchard.

My apple trees will never get across

And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him.

He only says, ‘Good fences make good neighbors.’

Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder

If I could put a notion in his head:

‘Why do they make good neighbors? Isn’t it

Where there are cows? But here there are no cows.

Before I built a wall I’d ask to know

What I was walling in or walling out,

And to whom I was like to give offense.

Something there is that doesn't love a wall,

That wants it down.’ I could say ‘Elves’ to him,

But it’s not elves exactly, and I’d rather

He said it for himself. I see him there

Bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top

In each hand, like an old-stone savage armed.

He moves in darkness as it seems to me,

Not of woods only and the shade of trees.

He will not go behind his father’s saying,

And he likes having thought of it so well

He says again, ‘Good fences make good neighbors.’"
