Description:
About 5,000 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus lies NGC 6888, the Crescent Nebula. Its arched and filamentary form was sculpted by the powerful stellar winds of Wolf–Rayet 136, colliding with slower material expelled during a previous red supergiant phase.
In this multiband image, crimson filaments trace hydrogen, teal clouds mark oxygen, while additional emission from sulfur and hydrogen-beta enriches the structure with subtle chromatic variations. The combined data highlight the complex network of shocks and ionized gas surrounding its central star, creating the intricate shell known as the Crescent Nebula.
Spanning about 25 light-years, the Crescent Nebula is a dynamic structure, destined to be dramatically reshaped when its central star ends its life in a supernova explosion.
Technical details:
The image was processed in an HOO palette, with H-alpha mapped to red and OIII mapped to green and blue. Additional H-beta and SII data were later blended in using a screen blending mode, with H-beta encoded in blue and SII encoded in yellow. The natural star colors were restored using PixInsights' Ballesteros blackbody estimator tool.

Romanesque church located in Tornac in the French department of Gard in the Occitanie region.
The church of Tornac was built in the Romanesque style in the 12th century by monks expelled from their monastery in Nîmes and who had taken refuge in the Tornac Monastery.

The Benedictine monastery was erected in this location from 1077 onwards. Following the Prussian cultural struggle towards the end of the 19th century, the monks were expelled. Services are still held at the monastery church, which is open to visitors.
Old Faithful Geyser Yellowstone N.P. Old Faithful erupts more frequently than any of the other big geysers, although it is not the largest or most regular geyser in Yellowstone National Park. It is believed this regularity is in part due to no known connection with other hydrothermal features in the area.
Its average interval between eruptions is about 90 minutes, varying from 50 to 127 minutes. An eruption lasts 1.5 to 5 minutes and expels 3,700–8,400 gallons (14,000–32,000 l) of boiling water, and reaches a height of 106–184 feet (30–55 m). Old Faithful Geyser has an average temperate of 169.7°F (76.5°C), an average pH of 9, and an average conductivity of 1972 uS/cm. -NPS
Tétouan is famed for its fine craftsmanship and musical delicacy and has been part of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network in the area of Crafts and Folk Art since 2017. Its cultural heritage is the product of the interaction between different cultural influences throughout centuries. It is mainly characterized by its Andalusian style and way of living but both Berber, Jewish and Colonial Spanish influences are present too.
The streets are fairly wide and straight, and many of the houses belonging to aristocratic families, descendants of those expelled from Al-Andalus by the Spanish Reconquista, possess marble fountains and have groves planted with orange trees. Within the houses and riads the ceilings are often exquisitely carved and painted in Hispano-Moresque designs, such as are found in the Alhambra of Granada, and the tile-work for which Tetuan is known may be seen on floors, pillars and dados. The city has seven gates which were closed at night up until early 20th century. Many Sufi Zawiyas are scattered inside the walled old city.
Preening at the Pool, Central Park, New York. Note the lamellae on the bill, that act as a sieve to retain food while water is expelled.
Begin, ephebe, by perceiving the idea
Of this invention, this invented world,
The inconceivable idea of the sun.
You must become an ignorant man again
And see the sun again with an ignorant eye
And see it clearly in the idea of it.
Never suppose an inventing mind as source
Of this idea nor for that mind compose
A voluminous master folded in his fire.
How clean the sun when seen in its idea,
Washed in the remotest cleanliness of a heaven
That has expelled us and our images …
Wallace Stevens, Notes Towards a Supreme Fiction
🔴 El Albaicín (o Albayzín) es el barrio más antiguo de Granada. Es un mundo aparte, hay historiadores que dicen que el nombre Albaicín solamente significa 'barrio en cuesta'. Sí lo visitas, comprobarás que es verdad.
Antes de que se construyera la Alhambra, el Albaicín ya era corte musulmana. El máximo momento de esplendor del Albaicín tuvo lugar durante la dinastía nazarí, cuando tenía una población de más de 40.000 habitantes y treinta mezquitas.
Tras la Conquista por los Reyes Católicos, el Albaicín se asignó a los musulmanes como lugar de residencia. Cuando los reyes expulsaron a todos los que practicaban la religión musulmana todas las mezquitas fueron demolidas. El barrio de mezquitas se convirtió en el barrio de las iglesias, y a principios del siglo XVII los moriscos (musulmanes que continuaron habitando en la península ibérica después de la Reconquista) abandonaron definitivamente sus casas en el Albaicín. Los cristianos ricos que vivían en la medina aprovecharon la oportunidad y vinieron a construir en ellas sus suntuosos cármenes.
🔵 The Albaicín (or Albayzín) is the oldest neighbourhood of Granada. It is a world apart, there are historians who say that the name Albaicín only means 'neighbourhood on a slope'. If you visit it, you will see that this is true.
Before the Alhambra was built, the Albaicín was already a Muslim court. The peak of the Albaicín's splendour was during the Nasrid dynasty, when it had a population of more than 40,000 inhabitants and thirty mosques.
After the Conquest by the Catholic Monarchs, the Albaicín was assigned to the Muslims as a place of residence. When the kings expelled all those who practised the Muslim religion, all the mosques were demolished. The mosque quarter became the church quarter, and at the beginning of the 17th century the Moors (Muslims who continued to inhabit the Iberian Peninsula after the Reconquest) abandoned their homes in the Albaicín. The wealthy Christians who lived in the Medina area took advantage of the opportunity and came to build their sumptuous kármenes there.

The Portuguese island of Madeira is a paradise for geologists… Approximately 5 million years ago, the fiery birth of Madeira began deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean. As volcanic eruptions occurred, molten lava, ash, and rocks were expelled, gradually building up the islands' foundations.
African Armoured Ground Crickets (Orthoptera Bradyporidae) are the most revolting and weird insects to walk South Africa, Namibia and Botswana’s semi-dry areas. It has some strange defense mechanisms, like something from a horror movie, in which it protects itself with an armoured exoskeleton which containing 5 rows of spine that shield the back of its abdomen, as well as spikes on the front of its pronotum. If this isn’t creepy enough is not only geared for possible attack, but when attacked, they expel toxic blood (called “haemolymph” and is green and bitter) from the gaps in their bodies to avoid being eaten! They also regurgitate recently eaten food.
Wow, can you imagine, bleeding and vomiting at will to get rid of enemies? That is quite a show.
Many thanks to everyone who chooses to leave a comment or add this image to their favorites, it is much appreciated.

Technique is everything. The White-faced Ibis uses its long, curved bill to probe the shallows for invertebrates, but before it will swallow its prey comes the mid-air flip, expelling most of the water. Fascinating to observe, and I saw them do it over and over again.

(Španělská synagoga) A Praga
Fu edificata in stile moresco tra il 1867 ed il 1868, all’angolo delle vie Dušní e Vězeňská (progetto di Ignác Ullmann e Josef Niklas), dove in precedenza si trovava una sinagoga più antica chiamata Scuola Vecchia o Templ, che secondo le notizie dell’epoca esisteva già nel XII secolo appartenenti alla comunità ebraica. Alla fine del XV secolo, Isabella di Castiglia cacciò gli Ebrei dalla Spagna e, un gruppo di questa comunità trovò rifugio a Praga, proprio nella Scuola Vecchia, che da quell’epoca viene chiamata anche Sinagoga Spagnola.
I lavori di costruzione si svolsero sotto la guida di Quido Bělský. Al centro di questo edificio neorinascimentale dalla pianta quadrata si erge una cupola possente. La notevole decorazione dell’interno, che imita gli interni di Alhambra, in Spagna, è stata progettata dagli architetti Antonín Baum e Bedřich Münzberger. Lo spirito delle tradizioni religiose si può notare solo negli ornamenti della decorazione interna; le superfici sono ricoperte da basse decorazioni arabesche a stucco con motivi geometrici e vegetali, ispirati all’architettura islamica, caratterizzata da ricche dorature e policromie, e questo si ripete anche negli accessori di fattura artigianale.
La Sinagoga Spagnola è stata aperta al pubblico il 26/11/1998
(Španělská synagoga) in Prague
It was built in the Moorish style between 1867 and 1868, at the corner of Dušní and Vězeňská (project of Ignác Ullmann and Josef Niklas), where previously there was an older synagogue called Old School or Templ, which according to the news of 'times there was already in the twelfth century belonging to the Jewish community. At the end of the fifteenth century, Isabella of Castile expelled the Jews from Spain, a group of this community found refuge in Prague, right in the Old School, which by that time is also called the Spanish Synagogue.
The construction work took place under the guidance of Quido Bělský. At the center of this neo-Renaissance building with a square plan stands a mighty dome. The remarkable interior decoration, imitating the interiors of the Alhambra, in Spain, was designed by architects Antonín Baum and Bedřich Münzberger. The spirit of religious traditions is noticeable only in the ornaments of the interior decoration; the surfaces are covered with low arabesque stucco decorations with geometric and vegetal motifs, inspired by Islamic architecture, characterized by rich gilding and polychrome, and this is repeated in the hand-crafted accessories.
The Spanish Synagogue was opened to the public on 26/11/1998.

A finales del siglo XV, Isabel de Castilla expulsó a los Judios de España, un grupo de esta comunidad encontró refugio en Praga, justo en el Old School, que en ese momento también se llama la Sinagoga Española.

Dean's Yard, Westminster, comprises most of the remaining precincts of the historically greater scope of the monastery or abbey of Westminster, not occupied by its buildings. It is known to members of Westminster School as Green (referred to without an article). It is a large gated quadrangle, closed to public traffic, chiefly a green upon which the pupils have the long-use acquired exclusive rights to sit, read and to play games such as football (they have some claim to have invented the modern game). For some centuries until a point in the early seventeenth century it was a third of its present size, since to the south stood the Queen's Scholars' dormitory, which was in monastic times the granary. Its stones support Church House.
Adjoining buildings
East: school buildings
South: Church House, a conference centre and offices of the Church of England
West: school buildings and Westminster Abbey Choir School
North: flanking archway to the Great Sanctuary: Abbey offices and part of the Deanery.
Historically the Abbey was one of the last ecclesiastical sanctuaries to surrender ancient rights such as sanctuary. Over centuries, residents included many politically disfavoured and dangerous inhabitants. They were held in check by the Abbot's own penal jurisdiction, and by the knowledge that the Abbot could instantly expel them to meet their fate at the hands of common law. The Abbey Gatehouse was split into two prisons: one belonging to the Abbot and one for the constables outside. Westminster School displays a royal pardon from Charles II of England and Scotland to the King's Scholars, whose actions killed a bailiff harassing the mistress of one of them in Dean's Yard, accused by his fellow authorities of murder. Whether he was excused for reacting to the breach of some vestigial sanctuary, in stark contrast to the English Commonwealth where such rights were undeniably defunct, or for a moderate degree of violence that may have been used, such as might have resulted in a manslaughter charge were the victim not a bailiff, is unrecorded. The Abbey's Sanctuary extended beyond, as far as the north side of Parliament Square to a short approach, Thieving Lane, through which thieves were taken to the prison (see Richard II's gatehouse, Old Palace Yard) without entering sanctuary and being able to claim its immunity, but in the tenements of which prostitution took hold. HM Treasury is built upon its site, leading to accusations that thieving still continues there, especially at times of higher taxation or departmental cuts
Hembra de Orthetrum trinacria devorando a otra hembra de Diplacodes lefebvrii. La hembra de Diplacodes comenzó a expulsar paquetes de huevos (ver final de su abdomen junto al tallo) en el momento en que empezó a ser comida.
Algunos estudiosos consultados explican este fenómeno como un mecanismo para seguir perpetuando la especie lanzándo los huevos al exterior (se desconoce si estaban fecundados o no).
No lo tengo nada claro. Se aceptan sugerencias.
Female of Orthetrum trinacria devouring another female of Diplacodes lefebvrii. The female Diplacodes began to expel egg packets (see end of her abdomen along the stem) at the time she began to be eaten.
Some scholars consulted explain this phenomenon as a mechanism to continue perpetuating the species by launching the eggs abroad (it is unknown if they were fertilized or not).
I have it not clear. Suggestions welcome.

Fulmars are not members of the gull family, but a group of birds known as petrels, which includes both giant albatrosses and tiny storm petrels. Petrels are birds of the ocean, coming ashore only to breed. They all have large tubular nostrils on the top of their bill, giving rise to the alternative name of 'tubenoses'.
In the 1800s, fulmars only nested in one or two places on islands in the far north of Scotland. Since then, they have expanded their range and can be found around the UK's coast, nesting in colonies on cliffs or flocking to feed out at sea.
If threatened, nesting fulmars will spit a foul-smelling oily mixture on to intruders.
Their nickname, tubenoses, refers to the curious, tube-like structures that enclose the nostrils and run part way down the bill. These tubes aid their good sense of smell, which is unusual amongst birds. and in expelling concentrated salt water (they may also aid in keeping rough seas from entering the lungs or even increase sensitivity to air pressure when soaring dynamically).
On migration, humpbacks may not feed for as much as 8 months of the year. Humpbacks are known to have the longest annual migration of any mammal. They travel from the Antarctic Peninsula south of Cape Horn, across the Equator to Columbia or even Mexico.
As whales reach the water surface to breathe, they forcefully expel air through the blowhole. The exhalation is released into the comparably lower-pressure, colder atmosphere, and any water vapor condenses.
The humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) is a species of baleen whale. One of the larger rorqual species, adults range in length from 12–16 m and weigh around 25–30 metric tons. The humpback has a distinctive body shape, with long pectoral fins and a knobbly head. It is known for breaching and other distinctive surface behaviors, making it popular with whale watchers. Males produce a complex song lasting 10 to 20 minutes, which they repeat for hours at a time. All the males in a group will produce the same song which is different each season. Its purpose is not clear, though it may have a role in mating by inducing estrous. Found in oceans and seas around the world, humpback whales typically migrate up to 25,000 km each year. They feed in polar waters, and migrate to tropical or subtropical waters to breed and give birth, fasting and living off their fat reserves. Their diet consists mostly of krill and small fish. Humpbacks have a diverse repertoire of feeding methods, including the bubble net technique. Like other large whales, the humpback was a target for the whaling industry. Once hunted to the brink of extinction, its population fell by an estimated 90% before a 1966 moratorium. While stocks have partially recovered to some 80,000 animals worldwide, entanglement in fishing gear, collisions with ships and noise pollution continue to affect the species. R_33590
We visited this unique landscape with mud volcanoes in Buzau Mts., Romania. Here are some more details about this place:
"The Berca Mud Volcanoes are a geological and botanical reservation located in the Berca commune in the Buzău County in Romania. Its most spectacular feature is the mud volcanoes, small volcano-shaped structures typically a few meters high caused by the eruption of mud and natural gases.
As the gases erupt from 3000 meters-deep towards the surface, through the underground layers of clay and water, they push up underground salty water and mud, so that they overflow through the mouths of the volcanoes, while the gas emerges as bubbles. The mud dries off at the surface, creating a relatively solid conical structure, resembling a real volcano. The mud expelled by them is cold, as it comes from inside the Earth's continental crust layers, and not from the mantle.
The reservation is unique in Romania. The mud volcanoes create a strange lunar landscape, due to the absence of vegetation around the cones. Vegetation is scarce because the soil is very salty, an environmental condition in which few plants can survive." (Wikipedia)
ꒌ ЋАКИЋИ, БУКОВИЦА, где вријеме тече неким својим брзинама, и сваки секунд дубље је укопан у кршно тле а минут се теже помјера, ивице безизлаза чине се ближе а хоризонти несталнији; да на крају дана стране свијета и трајање на камену сведу рачуне много веће него другдје а ноћ се од следећег свитања раздијели као од године.
► █░▓ ONE OF MY HEROES among the few people living in Bukovica is Boris, almost alone and isolated in the remote hamlet of Ćakići. His exceptional life story resulted in a life and work of a shepherd's. He is taking care of a few dozen of sheep, and some other livestock. This is his estate. For a sharp profiled intellectual with high education level and developed social skills, it is a both demanding and sacrificing mission; not to speak of some pronounced physical limitations he has to deal with.
Not far away from the lush Adriatic coast thriving with tourism, this backcountry is oddly one of the most desolate places in Croatia after they have expelled the complete Serb population from the region in early August 1995, now exactly 28 years ago. Like most other parts of Europe, Croatia has been facing a serious demographic problem lately.

I had fun with this week’s challenge. After hunting round the kitchen for something interesting to photograph I stumbled upon a baking blowtorch and thought that it would make a good subject. I’d not used it in a while so had forgotten how to use it and it had no gas. I found the refill canister and had several attempts at refilling it. I finally got enough gas inside and worked out how to make it work. I was conscious of the fact that I’d got plastic utensils hanging up as the flame at one point was quite big and before I knew what was happening I had a fire in the sink! All the unused fuel that had been expelled from the canister from my failed attempts at refilling had been ignited by the flame 🔥. This was a very scary moment and put me off trying again to take a picture of it. This image of the piping bag nozzles was a much safer option. This is my second fire whilst photographing items for the macro Monday theme so no more hot items for me. Enjoy and HMM
Historical significance: During the Trail of Tears, Cherokee people took refuge from their forced march at this spot as they were expelled from their fertile homeland to resettle on land reserved for them far out west in Oklahoma. It was an excruciating trek. A local representative of the Nature Conservancy, the entity that is custodian of this land, took me to nearby Indian mound graves.
Notre-Dame de Sénanque est un monastère cistercien en activité, situé sur la commune de Gordes (Vaucluse), dans le vallon où coule la Sénancole.
Fondé en 1148, il devient abbaye en 1150. Celle-ci fait partie, avec l'abbaye de Silvacane et l'abbaye du Thoronet, des « trois sœurs provençales », qui témoignent du grand rayonnement de l’ordre cistercien en Provence.
Aujourd'hui prieuré de l'abbaye de Lérins, le monastère est toujours occupé par une communauté de moines cisterciens.
Le monastère est fondé sur le territoire de Gordes le 23 juin 1148 (9 de calendes de juillet), à l'initiative d'Alphant (ou Alsaur), évêque de Cavaillon, par des moines cisterciens venant de Mazan (ou Mansiade) dans l'Ardèche. Ceux-ci s'installent dans l'étroite vallée de la Sénancole qui fait partie de l'apanage des seigneurs de Gordes. Au mois d'octobre 1150 l'un d'eux, Guiran de Simiane, la donne à Pierre, premier abbé.
Sénanque prospère rapidement au point que, dès 1152, sa communauté est assez nombreuse pour fonder une seconde abbaye dans le Vivarais. Elle bénéficie de nombreuses donations, en particulier de la famille des Simiane et des seigneurs de Venasque.
Le monastère ne tarde pas à installer, parfois très loin, des « granges », sortes d'annexes à la tête des exploitations qui sont mises en valeur par les frères convers, moines « auxiliaires » chargés des tâches agricoles. Mais l'abbaye accumule des richesses peu compatibles avec les vœux de pauvreté : au XIVe siècle, c'est la décadence. Le recrutement et la ferveur diminuent tandis que la discipline se relâche. Pourtant, la situation s'améliore et le monastère retrouve sa dignité en s'efforçant de respecter l'esprit des fondateurs.
En 1544, lors des guerres de religion, des moines sont pendus et le monastère est incendié par les Vaudois et le bâtiment des convers détruit.
À la fin du XVIIe siècle, Sénanque ne compte plus que deux religieux. Elle est, par chance, vendue comme bien national en 1791 à un acquéreur qui la préserve de toute destruction et va jusqu'à la faire consolider. Rachetée par l'abbé de Lérins, Dom Barnouin, en 1857, elle retrouve sa vocation d'origine : des bâtiments nouveaux viennent flanquer les anciens et 72 moines s'y installent. En 1903, suite aux lois sur les congrégations religieuses, les moines sont chassés de l'abbaye4.
Ce n'est qu'en 1926 que la vie conventuelle reprend à Sénanque4, désormais prieuré de l'abbaye de Lérins. En 1969, les cinq moines qui restent ne sont pas à même de subvenir aux frais d'entretien du monastère. Ils quittent les lieux pour se retirer dans leur maison mère, dans les îles de Lérins5. Un accord de mécénat industriel est alors négocié entre l'abbé de Lérins et Paul Berliet, qui recherche un site où établir un centre culturel. Le 24 octobre, la société Berliet signe un bail de trente ans. Elle s'engage à préserver l'aspect cultuel du site, à restaurer et à entretenir les bâtiments, et à permettre aux moines de réintégrer les lieux avant la fin du contrat. Les travaux, financés pour moitié par la société Berliet, se font dans le respect des matériaux et des techniques d'origine5.
Une nouvelle petite communauté de moines cisterciens vient de Lérins en 1986. En 2012, ils sont dix à résider à Sénanque, le monastère demeurant une dépendance de l'abbaye de Lérins.
It was founded in 1148 under the patronage of Alfant, bishop of Cavaillon, and Ramon Berenguer II, Count of Barcelona, Count of Provence, by Cistercian monks who came from Mazan Abbey in the Ardèche. Temporary huts housed the first community of impoverished monks. By 1152 the community already had so many members that Sénanque was able to found Chambons Abbey, in the diocese of Viviers.
Apse of the abbey church
The young community found patrons in the seigneurs of Simiane, whose support enabled them to build the abbey church, consecrated in 1178. Other structures at Sénanque followed, laid out according to the rule of Cîteaux Abbey, mother house of the Cistercians. Among its existing structures, famed examples of Romanesque architecture, are the abbey church, cloister, dormitory, chapter house and the small calefactory, the one heated space in the austere surroundings, so that the monks could write, for this was their scriptorium. A refectory was added in the 17th century, when some minimal rebuilding of existing walls was undertaken, but the abbey is a remarkably untouched survival, of rare beauty and severity: the capitals of the paired columns in the cloister arcades are reduced to the simplest leaf forms, not to offer sensual distraction.
The abbey church is in the form of a tau cross with an apse projecting beyond the abbey's outer walls. Somewhat unusually, its liturgical east end faces north, as the narrow and secluded valley offered no space for the conventional arrangement.
In the 13th and 14th centuries, Sénanque reached its apogee, operating four mills, seven granges and possessing large estates in Provence. In 1509, when the first abbot in commendam was named, a sure sign of the decline of vocation, the community at Sénanque had shrunk to about a dozen. During the Wars of Religion the quarters for the lay brothers were destroyed and the abbey was ransacked by Huguenots. At the French Revolution the abbey's lands were nationalized, the one remaining monk was expelled and Sénanque itself was sold to a private individual. source wikipédia
“A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams!”
-John Barrymore
For a few months now something has disrupted my normally happy soul…an interruption in the force to the Star Wars fan. For the life of me, I have not been able to rid myself of a feeling of deep dread.
I have spoken to loved ones, soul searched both awake and in each morning’s slumber, my special “mental clarity” time when normally so many answers come. Then without warning, like a cat expelling a hairball, the answer reluctantly came spewing out to my bride…I HAVE TO GO BACK TO NOME!!
For years I planned and saved to visit there. Excited about the possibility of hanging out with and photographing muskox became my main goal. For months I researched the local flora and fauna, seasonal migrations, set up accommodations and travel and even watched thirteen seasons of Bering Sea Gold in preparation for this once in a lifetime adventure.
However, fate had other plans for my adventure as within a few hours of my arrival, I fell ill. Of my five days scheduled there, four were spent in my room eating crackers and pop tarts…and watching the worst tv selection that I have had in many years.
It wasn’t till I edited this photo, taken of the Teller highway, that I truly understood just how deeply saddened I was with the loss of that opportunity for adventure. When this shot was taken, I had just come off a tundra walkabout collecting qiviut (fiber) off the trees and bushes and walking along the banks of a small river filled with the red glow of sockeye salmon. An experience that made my entire body feel much like my mouth did as a child when tasting a cinnamon toothpick made by my mother.
Remembering that feeling and how it was so quickly lost and replaced by the taste of Dayquil multiplies the feeling of loss. Even though my main goal of hanging out with muskox was accomplished, I finally realized that all this time I have been grieving the loss of the rest of the adventure.
A decision has been made to return to Alaska next summer with my sons. As I start the planning process, my positive mental attitude has returned, the force has been reestablished! Maybe choosing not to let our dreams die is what keeps us young.
This time I may make that flight to Alaska dressed in a gamma radiation suit with an IV bag of vitamin juice impaled into my arm for a bit of insurance!
Re-adventure before dementia!
Interesting fact: The 12th century saw a flourishing of the Jewish community of Girona, with one of the most important Kabbalistic schools in Europe. The Rabbi of Girona, Moshe ben Nahman Gerondi (better known as Nahmanides or Ramban) was appointed Great Rabbi of Catalonia. The history of the Jewish community of Girona ended in 1492, when the Catholic Monarchs expelled all the Jews from Catalonia. Today, the Jewish ghetto or Call is one of the best preserved in Europe and is a major tourist attraction. Right now there is no Jews live here.
St John's Priory, is a medieval Augustinian priory in the centre of Kilkenny; the Lady Chapel of the priory is now used as a parish church of the Church of Ireland.
Prior to 1200, the Canons Regular (Augustinians) had a house on John Street. Bishop of Ossory Felix Ua Duib Sláin granted a charter to Brother Osbert, the Prior of Saint John's Hospital, giving the prior the tithes of Kilkenny Castle. In 1211, William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke granted land to build the Priory of St. John the Evangelist. In 1220 Mass was said for the first time in the Priory, and around 1227 the Augustinians were granted the churches of Saint Evin and Saint Mary in New Ross by William Marshal, 2nd Earl of Pembroke. In 1290 the Lady Chapel was completed. In 1329 the bell-tower collapsed.
The Prior and community of Saint John’s were imprisoned in 1331. Sometime between 1361 and 1405, the Prior of Saint John’s, Walter Walsh, was excommunicated and the Priory was placed under interdict by the Bishop of Ossory.
In 1540, with the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the monastery was granted to the City Corporation.
During the Confederate era (1642–52), the site was granted to the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin. In 1645 Cardinal Giovanni Battista Rinuccini got the priory opened up to the Jesuits, but they were driven out in 1650.
After the end of the Williamite War, both orders were expelled and the site fell into ruin.
Around 1780, the nave of the main Chapel, its two towers and attendant buildings were demolished. The stone was used to build a military barracks.
In 1817 the still standing Lady Chapel was re-roofed and consecrated as a parish church of the Church of Ireland under architect William Robertson, also dedicated to St John. At this time also, a new western tower was added. It is still in use today as a parish of the Diocese of Cashel and Ossory, with services every Sunday.

Garten des Exils
Die Achse des Exils führt in den Garten des Exils, der außerhalb des Libeskind-Baus liegt. 49 quadratisch angeordnete Stelen stehen auf einer schiefen Ebene. Daraus wachsen Ölweiden als Symbol der Hoffnung. 48 Stelen sind mit Erde aus Berlin gefüllt, die 49. Stele in der Mitte enthält Erde aus Jerusalem.
Der Garten des Exils erzeugt bei den Besucher*innen aufgrund der Schräglage ein Gefühl des Schwindels und der Desorientierung, die einzige Vegetation befindet sich in unerreichbarer Höhe. Mit dieser räumlichen Erfahrung wollte Daniel Libeskind auf die mangelnde Orientierung und Haltlosigkeit verweisen, die Emigrant*innen empfanden, die aus Deutschland vertrieben wurden.
Garden of Exile
The axis of exile leads to the Garden of Exile, which lies outside the Libeskind building. 49 square stelae stand on an inclined plane. From it grow oil willows as a symbol of hope. 48 steles are filled with earth from Berlin, the 49th stele in the middle contains earth from Jerusalem.
The Garden of Exile creates a feeling of dizziness and disorientation among visitors due to its inclination, the only vegetation is at an unreachable height. With this spatial experience, Daniel Libeskind wanted to point to the lack of orientation and baselessness felt by emigrants who were expelled from Germany.

A dolphin breathes out just before surfacing to take a new breath. Seen leaning over the bow of a ship cruising in Fiordland, NZ. Dolphin breathing involves expelling stale air from their blowhole, in an upward blast, which may be visible in cold air, followed by inhaling fresh air into the lungs.(Wikipedia)
Thanks for visiting.
Göreme is a district of the Nevşehir Province in Turkey. After the eruption of Mount Erciyes about 2,000 years ago, ash and lava formed soft rocks in the Cappadocia Region, covering a region of about 20,000 kms. The softer rock was eroded by wind and water, leaving the hard cap rock on top of pillars, forming the present-day fairy chimneys. People of Göreme, at the heart of the Cappadocia Region, realized that these soft rocks could be easily carved out to form houses, churches, monasteries. These Christian sanctuaries contain many examples of Byzantine art from the post-iconoclastic period. These frescoes are a unique artistic achievement from this period.
In the 4th century small anchorite communities began to form in the region, acting on instruction of Saint Basil of Caesarea. They carved cells in the soft rock. During the iconoclastic period (725-842) the decoration of the many sanctuaries in the region was held to a minimum, usually symbols such as the depiction of the cross. After this period, new churches were dug into the rocks and they were richly decorated with colourful frescoes. When the Cappadocian Greeks were expelled from Turkey in 1923 in the Population exchange between Greece and Turkey the churches were abandoned, but at the same time were kept hidden, as their owners were the only ones who knew how to find them.

1- QUE SON LOS SOMORMUJOS O ZAMPULLINES??
Los Somormujos son aves semejantes a patos que habitan en lagos y marismas. Son casi EXCLUSIVAMENTE ACUATICOS y tienen especies representativas en todos los continentes salvo en la Antártida. Se encuentran desde el nivel del mar hasta 4,000 metros de altura.
De las 22 especies, 15 habitan en el continente americano.
2- DESDE CUANDO EXISTEN LOS SOMORMUJOS??
Los somormujos constituyen un grupo muy antiguo de los cuales se tienen datos de hace 70 MILLONES DE AÑOS.Su pico liso y sus pies lobulados los distinguen de otras especies acuáticas de picos "dentados; y pies "Palmados".
3-QUIENES SON LOS PARIENTES MAS CERCANOS A LOS SOMORMUJOS?
En la musculatura del cuello y la forma del esternón sugieren que sus parientes mas cercanos son las fechas ( Fúlicas, Rálidos)
4-SON SUS EXTREMIDADES COMO LAS DE LAS DEMAS AVES??
Como estan acoplados a rigores acuáticos y la caza submarina, sus patas se sitúan en el extremo de parte trasera, de ahí el nombre de podiceps,. que significa extremidades saliendo del ano .Su cola es un simple penacho . Sus extremidades tienen una extraordinaria flexibilidad de las articulaciones del tobillo y los dedos, lo que les permite girarlo en todas las direcciones y usarlas a la vez como palas y remos.
5-A QUE VELOCIDAD SE MUEVEN?
Un somormujo alcanza un movimiento de unos 2 metros por segundo y pueden girar con enorme rapidez
6-PORQUE SE NOS PIERDEN DEBAJO DEL AGUA Y NO SALEN??
Porque expelen el aire aislante que GUARDAN EN LAS PLUMAS Y VACIANDO LOS SACOS DE AIRE( RESERVAS DE AIRE), esto reduce la energía necesaria para mantenerse dentro del agua, lo cual les permite bucear silenciosamente cuando cazan, esconderse bajo el agua si se asustan . Las plumas de sus flancos estan modiificadas para absorver agua,reduciendo aún mas la flotación la bucear y así pueden durar mucho tiempo bajo el agua.
7- SABÍAN USTEDES QUE MUCHOS MUEREN CUANDO MIGRAN VOLANDO DE NOCHE ???
Los somormujos apenas vuelan , excepto en la migración .Mudan las plumas de vuelo como lo hacen los patos salvajes y las grullas Vuelan de noche grandes distancias en migracion y muchas veces confunden las carreteras mojadas con rios, aterrizan en ellas y mueren atropellados.
Por Último y para no cansarlos quiero decirles que hay dos especies de zampullines o somormujos EXTINTOS y que estos desaparecieron ayer como quien dice pues fue en las décadas 1,970 y 1,980. SABEN USTEDES CUALES SON ESAS DOS ESPECIES??? CUAL ESTA EN PELIGRO CRITICO Y CUALES SON VULNERABLES?? Esa parte la he dejado para escribirla en la danza de los somormujos!!!!!
Como ven amigos nosotros solo sabemos apretar el obturador y hacer buenas fotos.

Tétouan is famed for its fine craftsmanship and musical delicacy and has been part of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network in the area of Crafts and Folk Art since 2017. Its cultural heritage is the product of the interaction between different cultural influences throughout centuries. It is mainly characterized by its Andalusian style and way of living but both Berber, Jewish and Colonial Spanish influences are present too.
The streets are fairly wide and straight, and many of the houses belonging to aristocratic families, descendants of those expelled from Al-Andalus by the Spanish Reconquista, possess marble fountains and have groves planted with orange trees. Within the houses and riads the ceilings are often exquisitely carved and painted in Hispano-Moresque designs, such as are found in the Alhambra of Granada, and the tile-work for which Tetuan is known may be seen on floors, pillars and dados. The city has seven gates which were closed at night up until early 20th century. Many Sufi Zawiyas are scattered inside the walled old city.
This short-eared owl was not yawning when it saw me, another tourist trying to catch a picture, it was preparing to expel a pellet, which it did shortly after landing right behind a telephone pole (so no picture of that).
This will be my last post for a while as I am preparing to take off to participate in an organized migratory bird count in central Asia.
The early origins of the town appear to be during the Moorish occupation, when Orgiva was given to Boabdil, the dethroned Moorish king. Later the town was strategically important in the war between the Catholic monarchs and the Moriscos, the expelled Moors, who were finally overthrown in 1609.
The Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de la Expectacion is a twin-spire church, which dates from the 16th century.

View of one part of the Port of Gdansk, formerly Danzig.
A few hundred meters from here, World War II began when the German battleship SMS Schleswig-Holstein started bombarding the Polish fort of Westerplatte on the Baltic Sea coast on September 1, 1939.
Almost six years later, the Red Army entered Danzig on March 30, 1945.
By then, nearly 90% of the population had fled or died, with the sinking of the ocean liner Wilhelm Gustloff being worthy of mention, a tragedy far greater than that of the Titanic.
Towards the end of the war, in 1945, 90% of the city was destroyed by the fighting.
The city of Gdansk was finally ceded to Poland after the Potsdam Conference (1945).
By 1947, some 126,472 Germans had left Gdansk, and 101,873 Poles expelled from Central Poland, plus 26,629 expelled from Eastern Poland, were forced to move to the city by the Soviets, who had annexed Polish territories for the USSR. (Source: Wikipedia)
I hope the winds of war that are currently devastating Ukraine and threatening the rest of Europe will cease to blow.
PUERTO DE PESCA, GDANSK, POLONIA, 2017
(Del archivo de mis propias fotos, año 2017)
Vista de una de las partes del Puerto de Gdansk, antigua Danzig.
A unos cientos de metros de aquí comenzó la Segunda Guerra Mundial, cuando el acorazado alemán SMS Schleswig-Holstein inició un bombardeo del fuerte polaco de Westerplatte en la costa del mar Báltico el 1º de septiembre de 1939.
Casi seis años más tarde, el Ejército Rojo entró en Danzig el 30 de marzo de 1945.
Para entonces, cerca del 90 % de la población había huido o muerto, siendo digna de recordar el hundimiento del transatlántico Wilhelm Gustloff en una tragedia mucho más importante que la del Titanic.
Hacia el final de la guerra, en 1945, un 90 % de la ciudad quedó destruida por los combates.
La ciudad de Gdansk fue cedida definitivamente a Polonia tras la Conferencia de Potsdam (1945).
Hasta 1947, unos 126.472 alemanes habían abandonado Gdansk y 101.873 polacos habían sido expulsados de la Polonia Central, más 26.629 expulsados de la Polonia Oriental, fueron obligados a trasladarse a esta ciudad por los soviéticos, que se habían anexionado territorios polacos para la URSS.

Espero que los vientos de guerra que actualmente devastan Ucrania y amenazan al resto de Europa dejen de soplar.
The Heart Nebula, also known as IC 1805, is a large emission nebula that looks like a human heart. It glows brightly in red light emitted by its most prominent element: hydrogen1. The red glow and the larger shape are all powered by a small group of stars near the nebula’s center1. In the center of the Heart Nebula are young stars from the open star cluster Melotte 15 that are eroding away several picturesque dust pillars with their energetic light and winds1. The open cluster of stars contains a few bright stars nearly 50 times the mass of our Sun, many dim stars only a fraction of the mass of our Sun, and an absent microquasar that was expelled millions of years ago1. The Heart Nebula is located about 7,500 light years away toward the constellation of Cassiopeia

This is a modified form of the Foraxx SHO pallette, disproportionately emphasizing the SII emissions. I thought this camera and scope combination would fully cover the nebula, but as you can see it did not. So not the Heart, or the heart of the Heart, but just part of the Heart.

I captured this close-up of Comet C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) 3 days before its closest approach to Earth.
If you have asked yourself why Neowise had two tails, you might be interested in the following explanation:
The upper, blue tail is called the ion tail. It points directly away from the Sun and is pushed out by the charged solar wind, along the Sun's magnetic field. The structure in the ion tail comes from different rates at which light emitting ions are expelled from the comet's nucleus and the constantly changing nature of the solar wind.
The lower, white tail consists of dust and reflects the sunlight. The dust tail is pushed out by the Sun's radiation pressure and curves because heavier dust particles are better able to resist this light pressure and continue along a solar orbit. The origin of the wavy structure in the dust tail is not fully understood. Most likely, it is produced by rotating streams of light reflecting dust, expelled by ice melting on its 5-kilometer wide nucleus.

This image, taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, shows the colorful "last hurrah" of a star like our sun. The star is ending its life by casting off its outer layers of gas, which formed a cocoon around the star's remaining core. Ultraviolet light from the dying star makes the material glow. The burned-out star, called a white dwarf, is the white dot in the center. Our sun will eventually burn out and shroud itself with stellar debris, but not for another 5 billion years.
Our Milky Way Galaxy is littered with these stellar relics, called planetary nebulae. The objects have nothing to do with planets. Eighteenth- and nineteenth-century astronomers called them the name because through small telescopes they resembled the disks of the distant planets Uranus and Neptune. The planetary nebula in this image is called NGC 2440. The white dwarf at the center of NGC 2440 is one of the hottest known, with a surface temperature of more than 360,000 degrees Fahrenheit (200,000 degrees Celsius). The nebula's chaotic structure suggests that the star shed its mass episodically. During each outburst, the star expelled material in a different direction. This can be seen in the two bowtie-shaped lobes. The nebula also is rich in clouds of dust, some of which form long, dark streaks pointing away from the star. NGC 2440 lies about 4,000 light-years from Earth in the direction of the constellation Puppis.
The material expelled by the star glows with different colors depending on its composition, its density and how close it is to the hot central star. Blue samples helium; blue-green oxygen, and red nitrogen and hydrogen.

25. years ago Vukovar fell on 18. November, several hundred soldiers and civilians were massacred by Serb forces and at least 20,000 inhabitants were expelled.
To never happen it again... :'(
Excerpt from wikimapia.org/20551800/Deokhongjeon-Hall:
Deokhongjeon (Hall) 德弘殿, built in 1911, is one of the most recently built structures at Deoksugung. The base is built up with long square stones. The pillars are of average height and simplified column-top brackets support the roof.
Deokhongjeon is smaller than Hamnyeongjeon hall to the east. Dragon heads and miscellaneous images on the ridges of the hipped-and-gabled roof are believed to expel misfortune and prevent fire.

UPDATE: I think I finally discovered the actual species. According to this excellent site, it looks like it's a Cotton Harlequin Bug (Tectocoris diophthalmus).
I've never seen one of these before and apparently it's a Harlequin Beetle. I can't find much information or even the botanical name for it, so I did a search for quotes that referred to harlequins.
Imagine my delight when I found a quote from Battlestar Galactica! Here's the quote in full from Wikiquote:
Hybrid: Two protons expelled at each coupling site creates the mode of force, the embryo becomes a fish though we don't enter until a plate, we're here to experience, evolve the little toe, atrophy, don't ask me how, I'll be dead in a thousand light years, thank you, thank you, genesis turns to its source, reduction occurs step wise though the essence is all one, end of line. FTL system check. Diagnostic functions within parameters repeats the harlequin, the agony exquisite, the colors run the path of ashes...
City lights strain and fail to expel the grittiness of the streets. Window shades where they exist are pulled down tight to obscure the reality of the night. People slowly shuffle to whatever destination they're lucky to have. It's another late night in the SF Tenderloin.

The Helix Nebula, also known as The Helix and also referred as the Eye of Good or Eye of Sauron. NGC 7293, is a large planetary nebula located in the constellation Aquarius. Discovered by Karl Ludwig Harding, probably before 1824. This Planetary Nebula is one of the closest to the Earth. The estimated distance is about 215 parsecs (700 light-years) closer than the Great Orion Nebula. It is similar in appearance to the Cat's Eye Nebula and the Ring Nebula, whose size, age, and physical characteristics are similar to the Dumbbell Nebula, varying only in its relative proximity and the appearance from the equatorial viewing angle.
The Helix Nebula is an example of a planetary nebula, formed by an intermediate to low-mass star, which sheds its outer layers near the end of its evolution. Gases from the star in the surrounding space appear, from our vantage point, as if we are looking down a helix structure. The remnant central stellar core, known as a planetary nebula nucleus or PNN, is destined to become a white dwarf star. The observed glow of the central star is so energetic that it causes the previously expelled gases to brightly fluoresce.

TIMANFAYA 1
Cuando se lee lentamente el relato que Andrés Lorenzo, hizo en 1730, de la erupción del Timanfaya, la respiración se ausenta. Relata como iban apareciendo nuevos volcanes, en un paisaje antes dominado por campos de cultivo. Montañas que se hundían en su propio cráter. Seis años de destrucción continuada. Ese paisaje y la naturaleza que lo transformó, es el mismo que ahora vemos oscuro y colorista, agresivo y pacífico, duro y misterioso, siglos más tarde ahora, su suelo sigue expulsando, vapor y fuego. Timanfaya en estado puro.
TIMANFAYA 1
When the account that Andrés Lorenzo made in 1730 of the eruption of the Timanfaya is slowly read, the breath is absent. He tells how new volcanoes were appearing, in a landscape previously dominated by cultivated fields. Mountains sinking into their own crater. Six years of continuous destruction. That landscape and the nature that transformed it, is the same that we now see dark and colorful, aggressive and peaceful, harsh and mysterious, centuries later now, its soil continues to expel, steam and fire. Timanfaya in its purest form.
