Le site des dunes de Tadoussac offre une configuration idéale pour l'observation de la migration des oiseaux. En raison de la largeur du fleuve Saint-Laurent, les oiseaux ne se risquent pas à le traverser à cet endroit. Il se crée des couloirs de vents favorables compte tenu de la configuration particulière du fleuve avec le Saguenay et son fjord, Le site des dunes est dégagé et offre à l'observateur un point de vue unique. On voit les oiseaux de proie arriver par-dessus la montagne, quand on regarde vers l'est-nord-est. Un premier couloir passe côté fleuve, à main droite, et on y voit souvent les oiseaux glisser le long de la dune avant de remonter. L'autre corridor passe plutôt côté terre, à main gauche. Ils suivent ensuite le fleuve jusqu'à ce que ce leur soit facile de le franchir, à partir de Québec et plus au sud. Ces temps-ci, un ornithologue professionnel fait le décompte des migrateurs. Sa connaissance des oiseaux est formidable. Il identifie les espèces à distance à leur silhouette et à leur vol. Il peut facilement statuer sur leur âge. Grâce à lui nous avons observé de nombreuses espèces qui nous auraient échappé.

Il y avait activité de baguage des passereaux, le jour, et des nyctales, la nuit, au pavillon des dunes. L'observatoire des oiseaux de Tadoussac, l'OOT, organisait et gérait tout ça.

The Tadoussac Dunes site offers an ideal setting for observing bird migration. Because of the width of the St. Lawrence River, birds do not risk crossing it at this point. Corridors of favorable winds are created given the particular configuration of the river with the Saguenay and its fjord. The site of the dunes is clear and offers the observer a unique point of view. We see the birds of prey coming over the mountain, when we look to the east-northeast. A first corridor passes on the river side, to the right, and we often see the birds gliding along the dune before going up. The other corridor passes rather on the land side, to the left. They then follow the river until it is easy for them to cross it, starting from Quebec and further south. These days, a professional ornithologist is counting the migrants. His knowledge of birds is tremendous. He identifies species at a distance by their silhouette and flight. He can easily decide on their age. Thanks to him we observed many species that would have escaped us.

There was banding activity for passerines during the day and owls at night at the pavilion des dunes. The Tadoussac bird observatory, the OOT, organized and managed all of this.

Captain Davie described the configuration of the great banking room. "Before conversion, three sets of four teller stations were placed between the square pillars on the right side. Each station included the main parts of classical architecture in reduced size, the horizontal entablature resting on the two vertical columns and consisting of cornice, frieze, and architrave. Strong structures supported a bronze hinged wicket at each of the 16 positions. Some of these groupings have been rearranged to accommodate hotel design requirements."

Although the use of the San Diego Trust & Savings Bank building changed ten years ago, from a bank and offices to a hotel with 245 guest rooms, the original features of the structure remain remarkably intact. The Courtyard-Marriott Hotel, located in the heart of a vibrant downtown San Diego, is a spectacular example of successful readapted use. The hotel stands proud in the bank's place, as the sentinel of an important piece of San Diego history.

Courtyard by Marriott - This excellent example of adaptive reuse was a 1999 People In Preservation award winner. 140

I just finished reading Kristin Cashore's new book, "Bitterblue", and found it entertaining and thoughtful, with a wide range of interesting characters. This quote stuck with me. It's taken from a scene in which the Queen (Bitterblue), sits down to dinner with a few others, and on her mind is the topic of Po and Katsa's relationship, turbulent as it may be.

Bitterblue stabbed a mystery pie across the table with her fork and was delighted when it turned out to be made of winter squash. She pushed her plate closer and shoveled herself a generous portion. "It's just that while I'm sure I would like the making up, I don't think I have the heart for constant fighting," she said. "I think I might prefer something--more peaceful in execution."

"But people do, you know," said Bann, perhaps a bit slyly. "I wouldn't worry about them, Lady Queen, and I wouldn't worry about what it means. Every configuration of people is an entirely new universe unto itself."

Wise words, I think. Anyway, here's a scene from a recent hike up Silver Star Mountain... the light? Was incredible at this particular point in the trail. And I couldn't stop swooning over the wildflowers.

Image made with my Hasselblad 500 C/M.

A robin in our back garden landing on the fork Rachel wasn't at that point using. This is not a Photoshop job!! (Well, beyond a crop, levels, slight sharpen.) I just happened to have the macro lens (f=105mm) on the camera, which helped.

one of my favorite compositions because of the minuscule vibrancy and the natural framing created by the vignette from the long exposure.

One of many waterfalls at Huai Mae Khamin, this one cascades down stepped rock faces, presumably worn into their current configuration by the power of the river in rainy season.

Jee, got a Harry Potter look after a use of my portrait in photolab.

Have a nice week everybody and thanks for passing by.

So, here is what’s happening. I was going to show a different equipment configuration because I am planning on using the EOS70D next time round for another go at the gyrfalcon. That would eliminate the need for the 1.4 extender and possibly speed up autofocus a bit. To that purpose, I was diligently testing at home getting some encouraging results even up to ISO 3200. A bit softer but still quite useable and I actually liked that effect. So, since the light turned dark and miserable today, I abandoned that trip and focused on showing my result with this configuration on a female red crossbill. And then of course, I got sidetracked and came across this little beauty (yes, also the female Red Crossbill) in some wonderful lighting conditions that I was unable to resist. The cool thing here is that the water in the birdbath is releasing some steam that is clearly visible in the early morning sun and the light on the bird itself is something that I could not turn a blind eye to. (yes, bad grammar I know). She is obviously quite captivated by the steam as well. No need to talk about her beak or her non-red color. And even though I suspect that she’s an adult female, just on the off-chance she’s not, she will be one soon.

...I dreamt I was taking photographs with a ridiculously clumsy configuration of old and new cameras. And there were goats on the roof. Weird.

Editor's note: HUGE positive announcement about SLS today. Read all about it here! www.nasa.gov/exploration/systems/sls/

Artist concept of NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) 70-metric-ton Block 1 configuration. SLS will be the most powerful rocket ever built for deep space missions, including to an asteroid and ultimately to Mars. The first SLS mission -- Exploration Mission 1 -- will launch an uncrewed Orion spacecraft to a stable orbit beyond the moon and bring it back to Earth to demonstrate the integrated system performance of the SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft’s re-entry and landing prior to a crewed flight.

The four configurations of cardinal buoys indicate the safe side

of a danger with an approximate bearing. For example, the North cardinal buoy has safe water on its North and the danger on its South side.

Les quatre configurations de bouées cardinales indiquent le côté sûr d'un danger avec un relèvement approximatif. Par exemple, la bouée cardinale nord a de l'eau sûre sur son côté nord et le danger sur son côté sud.

De vier configuraties van kardinale boeien geven de veilige kant aan van een gevaar met een benaderende peiling. Zo heeft de Noord-kardinale boei veilig water aan de noordzijde en het gevaar aan de zuidzijde.

Some configurations somehow turn surreal....... At Goðafoss, a bizarre pattern of constantly moving clouds, periodically changing, diffused, dusk light and a beautiful fall together made a hypnotic configuration.
