L'anse Méjean : La côte sauvage à deux pas de la ville
À quelques encablures du Cap Brun, le littoral s’enhardit et offre aux promeneurs une belle alternance de sable, de galets et d’à-pics, sans oublier le village de cabanons et la chapelle du Cap Falcon chère aux rapatriés, accrochée à flanc de rocher, face à la Grande Bleue.
À cet endroit de la côte, à quelques petits kilomètres du centre-ville, la nature explose et propose un cadre enchanteur et dépaysant.
L'anse Méjean est accessible à pied par le sentier du littoral ou en voiture par le chemin de la Batterie Basse (mais attention, le nombre de places de parking est limité et l'accès peu commode!)

It is not news to anyone that Rio de Janeiro is full of paradisiacal landscapes, in addition to the beautiful beaches, the Marvelous City also has beautiful parks and reserves of Atlantic forests, where it is possible to go on trails, bathe in waterfalls and sit back and relax.

Zecharia Sitchin - The 12th planet.
This book suggests that we are not alone in our solar system. Yet it may enhance rather than diminish the faith in a universal Almighty. For, if the Nefilim created Man on Earth, they may have only been fulfilling a vaster master plan.
Here is the reason I take pictures of old buildings. This one here was like a beacon on the Illinois prairie. It made this small town a destination for many photographers. I’m sure that made little meaningful impact on the local economy but it was nevertheless the most recognizable icon of a town that otherwise had no real focal point. Now the building is gone. Torn down to make room for nothing discernible. A victim of time and diminishing resources. In an age when little value is placed upon history, this is sure to happen again and again. Preservation gives way to to the desire for urban renewal and the past gets swept away like so much offal.
HIGH-KEY IMAGE : "consists primarily of light tones, without dark shadows. A photograph or painting so composed features a diminished tonal range of primarily whites and light grays. High key as a term used in describing paintings or photographs is related to but not the same as high-key lighting in cinema or photography."
High Key Photographer Olivier Chauvignat

While perhaps not as widely distributed as Grant's, Thomson's are still the most common gazelles in East Africa. Though their numbers have diminished in some areas, in others they have persisted on ranches and farmlands long after other species have disappeared.
The graceful "tommie" is noticeably smaller than the Grant's gazelle, which it resembles in shape and color. It is also distinguished from a Grant's by the dark side stripe that runs from the shoulder to the flank and the white patch on the rump.
The males are larger than the females and have strongly ridged, almost parallel horns that curve backwards, with the tips curving forward. Female tommies have short, smooth, pencil-slim horns, or none at all. The face is accented by a black stripe running down from the eye, a dark marking on the nose and a light patch on the forehead.
Although more reliant on water than Grant's gazelle, the tommy has adapted to the open plains and grasslands of southern Kenya and northern Tanzania. – Wikipedia

This farmhouse sits on a long abandoned farmstead out on the plains up here. It was impressive in its time and although weathered and humble now, is in my opinion still so very intriguing. These sites and their histories will never cease to fascinate me.

It was a boom spring for dragonflies, one of the best I can recall, the result being that the flying pests which can be overwhelming in the northwoods were happily kept to a minimum. Much to the delight of these annoyances I'm sure, the dragonfly population is much diminished at this point and while certain species appear in the summer and even the fall, they are not as numerous as those of spring. I miss them and their somewhat ominous presence.

The title is a quote from the famous John Donne poem
"No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manner of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee."

New York City - May 5, 2023: The rising full moon peeks out from the clouds between buildings in Lower Manhattan.
Broto, Sobrarbe, Aragón, España.
Broto es un municipio de España en la provincia de Huesca, Comunidad Autónoma de Aragón. Tiene un área de 128,50 km² con una población de 531 habitantes (INE 2018) y una densidad de 4,28 hab/km².
La villa de Broto es la cabecera natural del Valle de Broto, y tradicionalmente ha sido el lugar de reunión del Conzello de Broto, una institución del valle que antiguamente hacía las veces de parlamento y diputación de todos los pueblos del mismo, donde se debían tomar todas las decisiones que implicasen a los vecinos de éste; concesiones de explotaciones forestales y agropecuarias, regulaciones económicas y arrendamientos, facerías (especialmente importantes en este lugar las que lo unían con el valle francés de Barèges), tribunal, etc. La institución todavía es funcional hoy en día, aunque en un grado mayor de como lo estaba antiguamente, hoy en día es gobernada sobre todo por los núcleos de Broto y la vecina Torla-Ordesa. Sus funciones están hoy muy menguadas respecto al grado de autonomía de que gozaba con los antiguos fueros, dado que contaba con auspicio de la casa real aragonesa, siendo por primera vez regulado su funcionamiento en el siglo XIII.
El Conzello efectuaba sus reuniones dentro del edificio de la Cárcel, que además incluye dependencias que se utilizaron hasta el siglo XVIII como prisión, y donde algunos de los reclusos realizaron grabados en las paredes, algunos de ellos con singular destreza, que se han convertido en uno más de los múltiples atractivos de la villa, siendo visitables en fechas concretas.
El núcleo de Broto se estructura en torno a la carretera nacional, llamada Avenida de Ordesa a su paso por la villa, con todos los comercios abiertos a ella. La iglesia se encuentra en la parte más elevada del pueblo, al mismo lado de la carretera que la cárcel, aunque esta segunda se encuentra más cerca del río. Por el lado sur de la carretera cabe buscar la Plaza de las Herrerías (también llamada "de la Santa Cruz" o "de los Porches") que constituye una de las visiones más hermosas de la población.
Los dos barrios que componen Broto están separados uno a cada orilla del Ara, con el barrio de la Santa Cruz en el norte, y en el sur el llamado Barrio de los Porches. Es una costumbre muy arraigada en los pueblos del Alto Aragón considerar y nombrar como barrios diferentes simples agrupaciones de casas que, como en este caso, están separadas únicamente por un curso de agua sobre el cual se levanta un puente. Antiguamente ambos barrios estaban unidos por un único puente medieval que fue desgraciadamente destruido en el transcurso de la Guerra Civil (cabe destacar la crudeza que alcanzó dicho conflicto en esta zona de Aragón, llegando a su punto cumbre con el fenómeno llamado la Bolsa de Bielsa). Hoy en día entre ambos barrios la carretera circula por un puente de hormigón.
Actualmente, puente románico sólo se conserva el que cruza por encima del río Sorrosal junto a la llamada Cascada del Sorrosal, un salto de agua que se precipita de una pared de roca hasta caer por debajo de la villa de Broto. El puente del Sorrosal está hoy en día cerrado al tránsito de personas que tienen que pasar por un puente paralelo habilitado a pocos metros y que, así mismo, conduce al vecino lugar de Oto.
Broto is a municipality of Spain in the province of Huesca, Autonomous Community of Aragon. It has an area of 128.50 km² with a population of 531 inhabitants (INE 2018) and a density of 4.28 inhabitants / km².
The town of Broto is the natural head of the Broto Valley, and traditionally it has been the meeting place of the Conzello de Broto, an institution of the valley that formerly served as parliament and deputation of all the towns of the same, where they had to take all decisions involving its neighbors; forest and agricultural exploitation concessions, economic regulations and leases, faceries (especially important in this place those that linked it with the French valley of Barèges), court, etc. The institution is still functional today, although to a greater degree than it was in the past, today it is governed mainly by the towns of Broto and neighboring Torla-Ordesa. Today its functions are greatly diminished with respect to the degree of autonomy it enjoyed with the old fueros, since it was sponsored by the Aragonese royal house, its operation being regulated for the first time in the 13th century.
The Conzello held its meetings inside the Prison building, which also includes rooms that were used as a prison until the 18th century, and where some of the inmates made engravings on the walls, some of them with singular skill, which have become one more of the multiple attractions of the town, being visited on specific dates.
The nucleus of Broto is structured around the national highway, called Avenida de Ordesa as it passes through the town, with all the shops open to it. The church is located in the highest part of town, on the same side of the road as the jail, although the latter is closer to the river. On the south side of the road, you can look for the Plaza de las Herrerías (also called "de la Santa Cruz" or "de los Porches") which constitutes one of the most beautiful views of the town.
The two neighborhoods that make up Broto are separated, one on each bank of the Ara, with the Santa Cruz neighborhood in the north and the so-called Barrio de los Porches in the south. It is a deeply rooted custom in the towns of Alto Aragón to consider and name as different neighborhoods simple groupings of houses that, as in this case, are separated only by a watercourse over which a bridge rises. Formerly both neighborhoods were linked by a single medieval bridge that was unfortunately destroyed in the course of the Civil War (it is worth noting the harshness that this conflict reached in this area of Aragon, reaching its peak with the phenomenon called the Bielsa Stock Exchange) . Today between the two neighborhoods the road runs over a concrete bridge.
Currently, the only surviving Romanesque bridge is the one that crosses over the river Sorrosal next to the so-called Cascada del Sorrosal, a waterfall that falls from a rock wall until it falls below the town of Broto. The Sorrosal bridge is nowadays closed to the transit of people who have to go through a parallel bridge enabled a few meters away and that, likewise, leads to the neighboring place of Oto.

Briefly, the Large Copper was once found in the UK in the Fens of East Anglia, but numbers diminished with the draining of the Fens for farmland until the last of the species died out in circa 1851. The British sub species was unique and cannot be recovered.
There are two further subspecies in Europe, including one in the Netherlands that has been used to attempt official releases to reintroduce Large Coppers to the UK. All such releases have failed to date, largely it seems because of the limited habitat available. The other European subspecies is L.d. rutilus in central and eastern Europe.
This find at Bumble Hole in the West Midlands is presumably a private release by a butterfly breeder of a sample of the central and eastern European subspecies, to a site that has a limited habitat and the butterflies are highly unlikely to establish a lasting colony. The release seems to have been of larvae, as there have been empty chrysalis cases found on site, including one predated by a wasp. Further breeding by the adult butterflies has taken place, since eggs have been found on the food plant, water dock, and more recently new larvae.
I decided to go and visit on 11 August, to see these beautiful butterflies while they are around.
Thank you for your faves and comments - they are much appreciated
As soon as the winds diminished, slowing the movement of the water, the inevitable arrival this morning of ice formation along the shoreline, moving inexorably toward its goal of complete coverage, that to be accomplished in a remarkably rapid manner once the process has begun.
A squirrel pauses as an eastbound freight train approaches at Mile Post 70 of the Union Pacific Railroad Geneva Subdivision in Creston, Illinois. No worries, the squirrel got out of the way in plenty of time. In fact, after crossing the tracks, he even found a train nut :)

Mallard Ducks are very common, but that does not diminish their beauty! I am quite certain this is a young Mallard which caught my attention in a pond.

Les Canards colverts sont très communs, mais cela n'enlève rien à leur beauté ! Je suis tout à fait certain que c'est un jeune colvert qui a attiré mon attention dans un étang.
It's Autumn. But the Blue of Cichory still dots the fields of the Océ-weerd though diminishing. Here and there some Buttercups but this Marmalade Hoverfly, Episyrphus balteatus, apparently favors the nutrients of Chicory pollen...
Judging by its clear colorings and the sharp delineation of its wings it's in its prime!

Notre-Dame-du-Cap-Falcon est une chapelle catholique située à l'extrémité du Cap Brun sur le territoire de la ville de Toulon dans le département français du Var. Inaugurée le 26 avril 1975 par Mgr Gilles Barthe, évêque de Fréjus-Toulon1, elle est surmontée d'une statue de la Vierge précédemment située sur le Cap Falcon à Oran et est dédiée à tous les Pieds-Noirs enterrés au Maroc, en Algérie et en Tunisie.

The tide wash going out, with an occasional outstretch of diminishing wave from time to time. Found a lot of these crawl space caves. During high tide the water is well over the top and you wouldn't know these caves were even there.
The Aiggin Stone on Blackstone Edge near Rochdale. This is thought to be a medieval waymarker, sited on an old packhorse route, overlaying a Roman road crossing the Pennines. A rude latin cross is incised on the stone, with the letters I.T. The stone once stood several feet tall but has been diminished by falling and being pushed over.
