Le Grèbe huppé est par excellence un oiseau d'eau. Il y passe toute son existence à nager et à plonger. Même la reproduction s'effectue sur un nid flottant près des berges. Toute l'anatomie de cet oiseau, de la taille d'un canard colvert , est parfaitement adaptée à ce mode de vie:le corps fuselé, le long cou mince, la queue très courte et, plus remarquables, les pattes implantées très en arrière comme les hélices à la poupe d'un navire. Ce sont en effet seules les pattes , dont les doigts sont munis de membranes, qui assurent la propulsion sur et dans l'eau.

The Great Crested Grebe is par excellence a water bird. He spends his whole life swimming and diving. Even breeding occurs on a floating nest near the banks. All the anatomy of this bird, the size of a mallard duck, is perfectly adapted to this way of life: the tapered body, the long thin neck, the very short tail and, more remarkable, the legs implanted very behind. like the propellers at the stern of a ship. It is indeed only the legs, whose fingers are provided with membranes, which provide propulsion on and in water.

when I am another, my acts
are more mine when they are the acts
of others, in order to be I must be another,
leave myself, search for myself
in the others, the others that don't exist
if I don't exist, the others that give me
total existence, I am not,
there is no I, we are always us,
life is other, always there,
further off, beyond you and
beyond me, always on the horizon,
life which unlives us and makes us strangers,
that invents our face and wears it away...

Large flocks of Horned Larks huddled together on a freezing day with windchills in the -50s. If you zoom in you’ll see frost forming around their eyes.
A solitary pansy ekes out an existence in a narrow crack between the paving stones where ants have disturbed the soil below allowing it to find enough nutrients to survive.
“Thank you...for gracing my life with your lovely presence, for adding the sweet measure of your soul to my existence.”

existential rivalry instead of searching a way of co-existence. Dedicated to our FLICKR friend Wolfgang Bayer.

I like the way this sits alone. Seems a shame. I have never seen any sign of occupation.

Welcome to Karterados
The traditional village of Karterados is built beside a stream in a ravine. Its existence is recorded back to the 17th century. The original dwellings are cave houses built deep into the rock face. During the 19th century, it was one of the large sea captain villages on the island. The name of the village comes from the Greek word 'karteri' = waiting point or ambush point, probably because ambushes were set to trap marauding pirates.
The village square has a traditional windmill and a memorial plaque to commemorate those who died in the Second World War. On the left hand side as you leave the square, the road curves sharply to the left, and there you will discover the 'Steps of Galaios'. Barely visible from the main road is a small neighbourhood of cobbled streets, Captains houses and cave houses built into the rock.
The shops are open all year round, since Karterados also has a considerable number of permanent residents.
