Per comporre un paesaggio e raccontare una storia bastano talvolta pochi elementi. Nella Maremma di Grosseto una
ondulazione coltivata a grano, una vecchia e sofferente quercia e una nuvola raccontano una storia antica. Raccontano di una foresta estinta e di generazioni di agricoltori all'aratro, alla semina e alla falce. Raccontano del tempo che sembra essersi fermato e dell'estinzione dei contadini ..... ..
Reed Bunting - Emberiza schoeniclus (M)
It breeds across Europe and much of temperate and northern Asia. Most birds migrate south in winter, but those in the milder south and west of the range are resident. It is common in reedbeds and also breeds in drier open areas such as moorland and cultivation. For example, it is a component of the purple moor grass and rush pastures, a type of Biodiversity Action Plan habitat in the UK. It occurs on poorly drained neutral and acidic soils of the lowlands and upland fringe.
The common reed bunting is a medium-sized bird, 13.5–15.5 cm long, with a small but sturdy seed-eater's bill. The male has a black head and throat, white neck collar and underparts, and a heavily streaked brown back. The female is much duller, with a streaked brown head, and is more streaked below.
Despite its name, the Reed Bunting breeds across a range of habitats from reedbeds and conifer plantations to hedgerows and arable crops like oil seed rape. During the non-breeding season, this species is dependent upon weed seeds, and as such, Reed Buntings would have joined other species in winter flocks on farmland stubbles. The decline of this species matches that of other farmland species like Tree Sparrow and Linnet. The increasing winter use of gardens during the 1980s probably reflects the decrease in availability of winter food.
La Zygaena occitanica como todos los componentes de esta familia son tremendamente toxicas, y esa toxicidad es unica en el reino de los insectos A diferencia, por ejemplo, de la mariposa Monarca que acumula en su cuerpo sustancias tóxicas que toma de sus plantas nutricias, las Asclepias, las zigenas sintetizan su propio producto tóxico. Y en este caso se trata nada más y nada menos que del ácido cianhídrico. Precisamente se descubrió que las zigenas contenian esta sustancia cuando se observó cómo resistian la acción del cianuro potásico empleado en los frascos mata-insectos de los coleccionistas. En cualquier fase de su vida estas mariposas lo fabrican, pero gracias a unas enzimas específicas lo mantienen inactivo a voluntad. Cuando son atacadas lo pueden activar y liberar, dándole un disgusto al depredador que por la cuenta que le trae lo recordará. En este sentido se dice que, a diferencia de los Trichodes que engañan al depredador, las zigenas son "honestas" con él.

1958 VW pick up spent most of her life on a farm in Oklahoma. Over the last 4 years the truck has undergone a total nut and bolt restoration and has been re-engineered to introduce modern components. The Rolls Royce Viper 535 jet engine is from a fighter jet with an afterburner added to produce a maximum power output of 5000 lbs of thrust which can be roughly translated to 5000 BHP.

In Western culture, red camellias symbolise love, passion, and deep desire. In China, the camellia represents the union between two lovers. The delicately layered petals represent the woman, and the calyx (the green leafy part of the stem that holds the petals together) represents the man who protects her. The two components are joined together, even after death. Typically when the petals of a flower fall off, the calyx will stay intact. With camellias however, the calyx and petals fall away together, which is why the camellia also represents eternal love or long-lasting devotion.
The theme for “Looking Close… on Friday” for the 3rd of September is “flora on a black background”. This camellia bloom comes from one of my older Camellia Japonicas that are just coming into flower in my front garden. With its passionately red petals, it seemed the perfect choice to be snapped against a background of soft black velvet. I do hope that you like my choice for the theme, and that it makes you smile.
Camellia japonica, known as common camellia, Japanese camellia, Japanese rose or Tsubaki in Japanese, is one of the best known species of the genus Camellia. Sometimes called the rose of winter, it belongs to the family Theaceae. It is the official state flower of Alabama.
A wirewound resistor. This particular resistor uses ceramic material to support the wire used as the resistive element; certain other styles of resistors use a mixture of a conductive material and a naturally non-conductive ceramic material for the resistive element.
In this shot of Copper Island, the cloud I saw from a distance plays a major part. As it was forming I raced to a familiar spot to catch it at just the right time. Copper Island is left as a silhouette, and makes the shot more about shapes than the nature it captures.
What accelerates 0-60 in ~2 seconds, has around 1000hp, and has a price starting at over a lofty 1/2 million? A Ferrari SF90, that's what! Get out your checkbooks, gents!
Not all plug-in hybrids are built for efficiency; some are built for speed. The Ferrari SF90 is one such counterexample, combining a twin-turbo V-8 with a trio of electric motors and a 6.5-kWh battery pack to spit out 986 horsepower in standard trim. The SF90XX models, laser-focused on race-track driving, get an extra 30 horsepower—as if they needed it—awarding the SF90 lineup entry in the four-digit power club. The massive power output goes to all four wheels with the front tires driven electrically. Double-X versions also have a stripped-down interior and other changes in the pursuit of all-out lap time. The standard SF90 is now available only as a convertible called the Spider, with a luxurious cabin lined in leather and featuring an unconventional screen-and-control layout. The XX can still be had in Stradale coupe form or as a Spider. Whichever version of the SF90 you fancy in your wild imaginings, know that the powertrain, aerodynamics, and chassis wizardry come together to make one of the best mid-engine sports cars in the world—Ferrari or otherwise.
The standard SF90 Spider comes packed with enough amenities to make it a satisfying pick, especially if you plan to keep to the street more than a race track. If you want to give this Ferrari a more customized appearance, you can select from a host of upholstery choices and paint hues. There are several different wheel designs, and the list of available upgrades includes carbon-fiber components, a titanium exhaust, a digital rearview mirror, and brake calipers in a variety of colors. Which one to buy? There’s no wrong answer.
With the SF90, power comes from a massively powerful V-8 and three electric motors. The twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 generates a mighty 769 horsepower on its own, and the trio of electric motors provides an additional 217 horsepower. In the end, the gas/electric powertrain generates a net output of 986 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. Upgrading to the SF90 XX unlocks 30 more horsepower for a total of 1016 hp and adds a feature Ferrari calls Extra Boost, which temporarily increases power output to help regain speed when exiting a corner. Power is sent to all four wheels, making this the first mid-engine Ferrari with all-wheel drive. An eight-speed automatic transmission oversees the proceedings. Different driving modes allow you to tailor the car's handling to suit your preferences. Use the mode selector to dial up EV Only, Hybrid, Performance, or, last but not least, Qualify—a setting that allows you to fully exploit the car's performance capabilities.

Mi ritrovavo un sacco di componenti elettronici perché feci la pazzia di comprare un robot a fascicoli settimanali..
Anche se di elettronica non capisco una mazza, mi hanno sempre affascinato. Eccone un possibile riutilizzo..
Ho poggiato una lastra di vetro su una foto di un mio profilo e ho piazzato i componenti.

The Petronas Twin Towers were the tallest buildings in the world until Taipei 101 was completed in 2004, as measured to the top of their structural components (spires, but not antennas). Spires are considered integral parts of the architectural design of buildings, to which changes would substantially change the appearance and design of the building, whereas antennas may be added or removed without such consequences.
The Petronas Twin Towers remain the tallest twin buildings in the world. This building was used in one of the main scenes of the Movie "The Entrapment".
The Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower) and the World Trade Center towers were each constructed with 110 occupied floors – 22 more than the Petronas Twin Towers’ 88 floors. The Willis Tower and the World Trade Center’s roofs and highest occupied floors substantially exceeded the height of the roof and highest floors of the Petronas Twin Towers. The Willis Tower’s tallest antenna is 11902ft taller than the Petronas Twin Towers’ spires. However, in accordance to CTBUH regulations and guidelines,the antennas of the Willis Tower were not counted as part of its architectural features.The spires on the Petronas Towers are included in the height since they are not antenna masts. Therefore, the Petronas Twin Towers exceed the official height of the Willis Tower by 10 m, but the Willis Tower has more floors and much higher square footage.
I visited Malaysia in 2004 so this is a very old shot which I scanned from the photo.
