In Papua New Guinea, there are more than more than 850 discrete spoken languages, and until recently, none of them were written down. Even today, adult literacy sits at less than 62%. In a historically nonliterate society with more than 7000 diverse cultural groups, one of the most popular means of education has been through costume, song, and dance.

Alors qu'Harry tentait de se remettre de sa fête d'anniversaire, elle est partie sur la pointe des pieds, discrète, sans un bruit, laissant Nina et Cosma Shiva inconsolables.
Il est totalement inutile d'écrire à nos morts qu'ils étaient et sont beaux, ils n'ont ni Facebook, ni Insta, ni Flick ni que sais je mais on peut essayer de les faire connaître à ceux qui nous lisent.
Alors, même si le temps c'est de l'argent, sacrifiez quelques euros et survolez la vie d'Eva Maria.
As Harry tried to recover from his birthday party, she tiptoed off, discreetly, without a sound, leaving Nina and Cosma Shiva inconsolable.
It is totally useless to write to our dead that they were and are beautiful, they have no Facebook, no Insta, no Flick or whatever, but we can try to make them known to those who read us.
So, even if time is money, sacrifice a few euros and fly over the life of Eva Maria.

Just about as late as possible to use a camera and looking over Brown Moss, a wonderful, discrete reserve near Whitchurch Shropshire.
My first ever White-letter Hairstreak (Satyrium w-album). Sadly I only managed this record shot because a Gatekeeper chased it away :-(
This butterfly is so named because of the letter "W" that is formed from a series of white lines found on the underside of the hindwings.It is usually found around the tops of trees, especially Elms, but it occasionally comes down to ground level to nectar on flowers, especially privet and bramble. It can be seen from late June to mid August.
It breeds on various elm species, including Wych Elm (Ulmus glabra), English Elm (U. procera) and Small-leaved Elm (U. minor), and suffered as a result of Dutch Elm disease in the 1970s and early 1980s, especially in southern sites.
It forms discrete colonies which are sometimes very small containing only a few dozen individuals. Colonies are typically focused on a small clump of trees or even an individual tree. The same site will be used year after year.
Small colonies are found throughout England, as far north as Lancashire and County Durham. It is found more locally in Wales, and has not been present in Scotland or Ireland.
This secretive and discrete female Smith's Longspur was found far outside its normal winter range in the great plains.

Autrement plus difficile à voir et à photographier, la fauvette babillarde ! Là où la grisette se montre volontiers à découvert pour chanter, la babillarde reste souvent cachée au cœur de la végétation. Elle cherche les haies et buissons denses et touffus, son maintien dépend donc d'une gestion extensive des haies bocagères.
Dark front and middle tarsi so not pertinax, Hind tarsi yellow (not tenax). Black face stripe so not arbustorum. Discrete stigma = Nemorum

An interesting day in the skies. Clear to start and then building quite quickly into small discrete little cells. Got about 3 minutes of heavy rain from this one.
I was just deciding what to do next around 330pm when I noticed my storm near Newton that was discrete crapped out and merged with the QLCS to its NE, along with my SE of Hunt City storm, too. So with that being all over with and it losing its structure, I said hell with it and went south to Saint Marie, IL. I noticed another QLCS to the south and west of me, so I was thinking I am close, might see what I can do last minute...
Although, I began to fear a sketchy situation to unfold, as a tornado warning was issued for this (photo) complex coming right towards me from the SW near Clay City and Noble.
Due to the movement and large swath of a hail core, I had to abort this quickly, only taking a couple good photos of the outer structure.
In person, I saw a mid-level meso trying to wrap around the parent complex; we had some nice 0-3km shear today.
I was preparing to BLAST north on IL49, where I just blasted south lol, and was like ok last minute decision here I need to BAIL OUT ASAP or else I'm going to be attacked by a hail core. But I could NOT help but enjoy the drive even though I was flying, trying to get north out ahead of the storms that were tailing my ass. The sky was a blue green hue with this weird purple blue color in the clouds. When I begin to see those colors, I know precipiation is heavier including hail could be more intense as sun light is shining through the deep cores causing the light to scatter and reflect green wavelengths (thus a green sky).
I hope you didn't mind the long read but I am going to start doing a better job documenting my local storm observations!
Thanks!

L'océan et le lac
Les vagues profondes de l’océan emportent les idées sombres, aussi sûrement qu’elles éloignent les navires des ports qui les enchaînaient. Leur bienveillante puissance ne laisse aucune place à la tristesse, emportée comme un fétu de paille dans la sarabande joyeuse des eaux de cobalt et d’outremer… Bientôt, le rythme obsédant des ressacs éloigne la torpeur morbide du chagrin et remplit le cœur d’un agréable sentiment d’apaisement… l’inlassable et joyeux ballet des mouettes a raison des chagrins les plus tenaces. Provisoirement, certes, mais quel bienheureux soulagement...
The Orange-tip is a true sign of spring, being one of the first species to emerge that has not overwintered as an adult. The male and female of this species are very different in appearance. The more-conspicuous male has orange tips to the forewings, that give this butterfly its name. These orange tips are absent in the female and the female is often mistaken for one of the other whites, especially the Green-veined White or Small White. This butterfly is found throughout England, Wales and Ireland, but is somewhat-local further north and especially in Scotland. In most regions this butterfly does not form discrete colonies and wanders in every direction as it flies along hedgerows and woodland margins looking for a mate, nectar sources or food plants. More northerly colonies are more compact and also more restricted in their movements.

Unusal colour for a 911, but it accually looks good imo.
When i was taking pictures of this beast, i heard a loud rev, and i'm pretty sure it was a Lambo, unfortunatly i didnt get to see the car, though i suspect it was in the car park down the road.
Hmm.....i think i may need to increase the highlights in this shot, looks a bit toned down, what do you think?

I'm really happy that I managed to photograph a butterfly with it's proboscis showing. :-)
The Essex Skipper forms discrete colonies that vary from a small number of individuals to several thousand. Where it occurs it can therefore be very common. This species is very similar in appearance to the Small Skipper and, because of this similarity, was not recognised as a separate species until 1889. The male is distinguished from the female by the sex brand on its forewings, which is a short line of specialised scent scales.
Despite its name, the Essex Skipper is now found over much of the southern half of England and it was first recorded in Wales in 2000 and in Wexford in south-east Ireland in 2006. On the British mainland it is to generally be found south of a line between Dorset and North Lincolnshire. It is believed that the increase in distribution is being assisted by the steep and grass-covered embankments that are often found on motorways and major trunk roads which acted as corridors – allowing this species to reach new locations more easily.

About
The pounding waves claw at us, grabbing our toes like they must have done since the beginning of time.
Elephant Rock and Currumbin Rock enclose a discrete surf beach. Currumbin Alley is a popular surfing site formed on the bar of Currumbin Creek, particularly for longboards. Some properties to the south are only separated from the beach by an undeveloped public road reserve and the elevated land provides opportunities for views unusual at the coast.

fondazione querini stampalia, restoration of the palazzo ground floor, venice 1961-1963.
architect: carlo scarpa, 1906-1978.
-
in the garden of the querini stampalia, scarpa placed an ancient well-head of the kind travellers to venice will recognise immediately. I crawled into it to bring you this photo of a strange detail at the bottom: two brass cylinders cut in half and reconnected to support the two halves of the well above a concrete base.
the modernists drew apart the individual elements of a building to establish a new relationship of discrete parts. obvious examples would be a floating roof or a free-standing lift/elevator - I am sure you can continue the list. this is what we might call the analytical aspect of the language of modern architecture. it was developed by early masters like frank lloyd wright and mies van der rohe for both formal, spatial and practical purposes. wright even called it exploding the box, meaning the box of the conventional house.
scarpa was, to a unique degree, respectful of the language of the early modern masters, its grammar and syntax, its inner order and logic, and few architects took more care to separate parts and reconnect them with both intellectual clarity and playfulness. in doing so, scarpa fixated on the gap, the separation itself, and developed the joint as a personal art form.
these jewel-like pieces in brass and steel which at once connect and keep apart are the main reason we speak of scarpa as an architect of details. there are theories of his entire oeuvre based entirely on the analysis of his joints. the fascination is well founded - you'll notice how I only managed to photograph the detail here - yet scarpa did so much else that perhaps we should allow ourselves to forget scarpa's details, if only for a moment, and look above the edge of the well to better see the complete architect.
one little thing is how the well is placed. you can see it as a circle in luis ruiz' sketch of the garden below. the venetians who lived out at sea had made an art of well design, shaping and layering the underground of every square and court to gather and filter rain water. scarpa, apparently, makes no reference to this. rather than placing it in the centre of the court as would likely have been its original position, scarpa used it as a pivot in his composition of paths and waterways along the edge of the space. what is going on?
john ruskin, the greatest writer on venetian architecture ever to sail its streets, made the highly emotional point that buildings cannot be restored without being destroyed, and that - as with people - there is no coming back from the dead. ruskin added, with a 19th century sense of the uncanny, that restoration even leaves us with a false version or double of the lost house.
historically, restorations have entailed the partial or, on occasion, the complete demolition of the original structure as in this frightening photo here on flickr of zettervall's infamous, destructive restoration of lund cathedral. it shows how far 19th century architects went in redefining mediaeval europe by replacing its ancient fabric with new construction. (I never could make myself explain to american tourists that our monuments are often no older than theirs).
ruskin had witnessed this first hand in a venice which was physically falling apart after a longer period of decline and the final defeat of the venetian republic at the hands of french troops in 1797. in the following decades, many palazzi had been abandoned and torn down while others suffered fates like that of the lund cathedral. to ruskin, these should rather have been left to die.
aspects of carlo scarpa's mature work and of his writings reveal that he accepted many of the categories and demands made on architecture in general and venetian architecture in particular by ruskin. yet ruskin's profound pessimism concerning the afterlife of old buildings must have been unbearable to scarpa who as an aspiring venetian master had to come to terms with the teachings of his british precursor.
the complexity of scarpa's answer to ruskin is bewildering, but the way he placed the well-head in a modernist composition of stones new and found allows us to grasp his confidence that buildings and their parts may live on if they are reused, reassembled and reinterpreted by a later and equal culture. the boldness of scarpa within the increasingly museum-like venice cannot be overstated.
there is a catch, though, that the age of individualism could not guarantee the culture of the individual architect or client, but that was never scarpa's problem; he had plenty, and the layers of history, of time, of old and new, came to life under his hands, put together and clearly separated by his jewel-like joints in steel and brass.
A hidden gem: discretely situated off the A661 Harrogate to Wetherby Road. Plumpton Rocks is a 30 acre parkland created in the 1760s by forming a man made lake against the backdrop of Millstone Grit rock formations and outcrops.
The artist JMW Turner visited Plumbton Rocks on his first tour of Yorkshire in 1797. The Earl of Harewood, who owned the rocks. commissioned Turner to paint the landscape. This was Turner’s first commission for a landscape in oils and gamble for the Earl. It was then known as Plompton Rocks and Harewood House holds two of Turner’s original paintings.
