A very unusual sighting of an African Jacana in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. It may have been blown off course by the wind of the day before we sighted it for the first time at Thirteenth Borehole. Favouring surfaces covered by water lilies, they are are common sightings at fresh water and the margins of slow-flowing rivers, but not in the dry western regions of our area, or the semi-desert of the kalahari.

Fort Lauderdale is a city in the U.S. state of Florida, 25 miles (40 km) north of Miami. It is the county seat of Broward County. As of the 2019 census, the city has an estimated population of 182,437. Fort Lauderdale is a principal city of the Miami metropolitan area, which was home to an estimated 6,198,782 people in 2018.

 

The city is a popular tourist destination, with an average year-round temperature of 75.5 °F (24.2 °C) and 3,000 hours of sunshine per year. Greater Fort Lauderdale which takes in all of Broward County hosted 12 million visitors in 2012, including 2.8 million international visitors. The city and county in 2012 collected $43.9 million from the 5% hotel tax it charges, after hotels in the area recorded an occupancy rate for the year of 72.7 percent and an average daily rate of $114.48. The district has 561 hotels and motels comprising nearly 35,000 rooms. Forty six cruise ships sailed from Port Everglades in 2012. Greater Fort Lauderdale has over 4,000 restaurants, 63 golf courses, 12 shopping malls, 16 museums, 132 nightclubs, 278 parkland campsites, and 100 marinas housing 45,000 resident yachts.

 

Fort Lauderdale is named after a series of forts built by the United States during the Second Seminole War. The forts took their name from Major William Lauderdale (1782–1838), younger brother of Lieutenant Colonel James Lauderdale. William Lauderdale was the commander of the detachment of soldiers who built the first fort. However, development of the city did not begin until 50 years after the forts were abandoned at the end of the conflict. Three forts named "Fort Lauderdale" were constructed; the first was at the fork of the New River, the second at Tarpon Bend on the New River between the Colee Hammock and Rio Vista neighborhoods, and the third near the site of the Bahia Mar Marina.

 

The area in which the city of Fort Lauderdale would later be founded was inhabited for more than two thousand years by the Tequesta Indians. Contact with Spanish explorers in the 16th century proved disastrous for the Tequesta, as the Europeans unwittingly brought with them diseases, such as smallpox, to which the native populations possessed no resistance. For the Tequesta, disease, coupled with continuing conflict with their Calusa neighbors, contributed greatly to their decline over the next two centuries. By 1763, there were only a few Tequesta left in Florida, and most of them were evacuated to Cuba when the Spanish ceded Florida to the British in 1763, under the terms of the Treaty of Paris (1763), which ended the Seven Years' War. Although control of the area changed between Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Confederate States of America, it remained largely undeveloped until the 20th century.

 

The Fort Lauderdale area was known as the "New River Settlement" before the 20th century. In the 1830s there were approximately 70 settlers living along the New River. William Cooley, the local Justice of the Peace, was a farmer and wrecker, who traded with the Seminole Indians. On January 6, 1836, while Cooley was leading an attempt to salvage a wrecked ship, a band of Seminoles attacked his farm, killing his wife and children, and the children's tutor. The other farms in the settlement were not attacked, but all the white residents in the area abandoned the settlement, fleeing first to the Cape Florida Lighthouse on Key Biscayne, and then to Key West.

 

The first United States stockade named Fort Lauderdale was built in 1838, and subsequently was a site of fighting during the Second Seminole War. The fort was abandoned in 1842, after the end of the war, and the area remained virtually unpopulated until the 1890s. It was not until Frank Stranahan arrived in the area in 1893 to operate a ferry across the New River, and the Florida East Coast Railroad's completion of a route through the area in 1896, that any organized development began. The city was incorporated in 1911, and in 1915 was designated the county seat of newly formed Broward County.

 

Fort Lauderdale's first major development began in the 1920s, during the Florida land boom of the 1920s. The 1926 Miami Hurricane and the Great Depression of the 1930s caused a great deal of economic dislocation. In July 1935, an African-American man named Rubin Stacy was accused of robbing a white woman at knife point. He was arrested and being transported to a Miami jail when police were run off the road by a mob. A group of 100 white men proceeded to hang Stacy from a tree near the scene of his alleged robbery. His body was riddled with some twenty bullets. The murder was subsequently used by the press in Nazi Germany to discredit US critiques of its own persecution of Jews, Communists, and Catholics.

 

When World War II began, Fort Lauderdale became a major US base, with a Naval Air Station to train pilots, radar operators, and fire control, operators. A Coast Guard base at Port Everglades was also established.

 

On July 4, 1961, African Americans started a series of protests, wade-ins, at beaches that were off-limits to them, to protest "the failure of the county to build a road to the Negro beach". On July 11, 1962, a verdict by Ted Cabot went against the city's policy of racial segregation of public beaches.

Today, Fort Lauderdale is a major yachting center, one of the nation's largest tourist destinations, and the center of a metropolitan division with 1.8 million people.

Offshoot outing to the Camargue

In the Camargue the star of the show is the bull, He has his 10 minutes in the ring, where the young men try and take the ribbons from his horns or the rosette from his back. There is a balletic quality of man against beast where only the man risks injury. The bull then returns to his pasture uninjured and lives to show his 10 minutes of majesty and prowess again and again.

Peugeot 307 Assistance Balisage Intervention Course (ABIC)

A view of the Golf Course from the old railway line, Malvern.

The likable robotic Turtle is exploring an alien planet to prepare the landing of the famous Exo Suit when he/she (one day we should choose, maybe voting…or rolling a dice) runs into the pathetic evildoers of the First Order, in the form of a Stormtrooper patrol.

 

“Hey look! A turtle droid!” Exclaims one of the Stormtroopers.

“Are you sure it’s a droid? It can be a real turtle inside an armor.” The other Stormtrooper objects.

“A turtle inside an armor?! Where do you get these ideas?”

“Well, I thought if we can build a super weapon of plot destruction that violates any known law of physics someone could put a turtle in a armor…”

“That’s a good point” declares the first Stormtrooper.

 

“But who cares? I say to kill this thing and have some fun”

“Yeah but we torture it first!”

“Of course! Ha Ha!”

 

Our robotic friend moves the head up and down, looking at the silly troopers and as they attempt to draw their weapons the brave Turtle fires the blaster cannons putting the two First Order servants out of commission.

 

Next time the followers of the Tantrum Knight will think twice before bothering our little friend because…

 

No one messes with the Space Turtle.

 

Now it’s time to go back to exploration duties.

 

Those First Order Stormtroopers always end up in such unpleasing situations hehe :)

 

I hope you like this photo :)

Naïade au corps vert

I'm not a golfer - but I just might take it up to golf here. This is about a mile from where I grew up. I loved being able to see the Whitetank Mountains every day.

A black-necked swan and a toy paper boat in a pond on a converging course. Little brave cruiser. Paper David against the swan Goliath.

OMG, a motorboat is in collision course with San Rocco di Camogli church!

What? It's only the telescopic compression?

Ehm, I think you're quite right, the church is 221 meters a.s.l.!

 

Taken from Portofino mountain (640 meters a.s.l.) with my zoom lens.

A jumping spider makes its way across the treacherous leaf course

Sometimes we can see it coming and it still doesn't matter...

a sunny Sunday afternoon was a welcome treat. the corn is ready to harvest, but need to finish the beans. a little too much moisture now.

 

rail lines are predetermined in their course, so why do we (OK me) always want to follow them to see where they go... or maybe that's just it -transport, travel, adventure.
