One of the satellite dishes of the "Erdfunkstelle Raisting" put directly onto the little church "St. Johannes der Täufer" - well, actually it is some distance behind the church, photo taken exploiting the telephoto compression.
The church was build around 1428 in late Gothic style.

La Bergeronnette grise se nourrit de nombreux invertébrés aquatiques et terrestres. Elle capture des insectes sur le sol après une courte poursuite, mais aussi en volant. Elle poursuit sa proie avec un vol ondulant rapide, ou en voletant brièvement avant de la capturer. Sur le sol, elle chasse en marchant, en exploitant toutes sortes de surfaces depuis les routes jusqu'aux toits des maisons et autres endroits découverts.
Elle peut capturer des proies en courant et en donnant un coup de bec pour la saisir. Il lui arrive aussi de sauter en l'air pour happer un insecte volant .
Mais cet oiseau aquatique chasse aussi dans les eaux peu profondes où elle trouve des invertébrés à la surface ou dans la vase. Elle voltige au-dessus de l'eau ou de la végétation.
Sur les côtes océaniques, elle fouille au milieu des algues le long de la limite des marées. Quand elle se nourrit dans les champs cultivés, elle suit souvent les charrues.
Image prise depuis la tente affût et dans un milieu naturel .

The Gray Wagtail feeds on numerous aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates. It captures insects on the ground after a short chase, but also while flying. It pursues its prey with rapid undulating flight, or hovering briefly before capturing it. On the ground, it hunts by walking, exploiting all kinds of surfaces from roads to roofs of houses and other open places.
It can capture prey by running and pecking to grab it. It also happens to jump in the air to grab a flying insect.
But this aquatic bird also hunts in shallow water where it finds invertebrates on the surface or in the mud. It hovers above water or vegetation.
On ocean coasts, she digs among the algae along the tidal line. When foraging in cultivated fields, it often follows the plows.

PS: A big thank you to everyone who chooses to watch, comment and love my photos. It is very appreciated, as you noticed, I do not answer any more directly following your comment just to say in fact "thank you and good day", but in return I pass to leave a small mark with you on one or more of your editions. thank you for your understanding
When you see the scream of the sky, you don't have to be afraid
Just exploit the chance and take your capture timely
L'orang-outan est le plus grand mammifère arboricole au monde. Il se déplace de branche en branche par brachiation, bien qu'il n'hésite pas à parcourir d'importantes distances au sol si nécessaire. Ses longs bras qui lui arrivent jusqu'aux chevilles lui permettent des déplacements aisés à travers la forêt tropicale malaisienne et indonésienne. Ces grands singes sont solitaires, les mâles marquent leur territoire en poussant de grands cris amplifiés par leur disque facial et leur sac laryngé.Immensément menacé dans son habitat naturel, les forêts tropicales d'Indonésie, l'orang-outan connaît un déclin massif. En cause, la destruction de la forêt pour l'exploitation du bois et la plantation de palmiers à huile

Who told you that people in prehistoric times, in the glorious period of "Ur-Kommunismus", were living in freedom, equality, without exploitation or alienation and with plenty of leisure time? And that the abolition of Capitalism would give us a chance of 'returning' to this situation? Where did you get this knowledge from? It's faith, Karl, is it not? It is an important faith though. And there is nothing wrong with faith as long as we know that we believe. If we believe that we know, however, everything goes wrong.
DON JUAN DE NARBONA 1732
It was declared a National Historic monument.
It was a property of Juan Narbona who exploited it like limekiln.
In the year 1738 there was constructed an oratory and a chapel that were the only ones between Montevideo and Villa Soriano
The Estancia de Narbona, (Narbona’s Farm), built by Don Juan de Narbona in 1732, is an archeological relic. Its Chapel and Oratory were the only ones that existed at those times between Montevideo and Villa Soriano. They were related to the Camacho family, and they are near the Camacho Bridge, surrounded by a beautiful park.

Le site Bouchayer-Viallet s´installe à Grenoble en 1870 au moment de l´association entre les sociétés Joseph Bouchayer et Félix Viallet. Tous deux pressentent l´essor industriel et l´expansion de l´hydroélectricité avec l´exploitation des chutes d´eau. Ils produisent des appareils calorifères, de la chaudronnerie, de la charpente. Leur usine se spécialisera également dans la construction de l´équipement d´usine hydroélectrique. A la mort de Joseph Bouchayer, c´est son fils qui prend la suite. C´est à partir de 1900 que commence le transfert des installations de l´avenue de la gare jusqu´aux berges du Drac où se maintiendront les Etablissements Bouchayer-Viallet jusqu´à la fin des années 1960. C´est à ce moment-là qu´est achetée une halle sur pied attribuée aux ateliers de Gustave Eiffel pour l´Exposition Universelle de Paris, afin d´y installer l´atelier de chaudronnerie. Cette halle de 3000 m² est démontée, acheminée à Grenoble et remontée sur le nouveau terrain. Il s´agit d´un bâtiment industriel acquis à bas prix où est plaqué un pignon en maçonnerie assez plat doté de trois ouvertures en plein cintre. Depuis 1986, la halle est occupée par le Centre National d'Art Contemporain, dit le Magasin, du nom de sa dernière utilisation. Racheté par la ville de Grenoble en 1980, le site est réhabilité par Patrick Bouchain, architecte, assisté de François Braize, ingénieur-conseil. Bien que méconnu, cet espace d´exposition d´art contemporain, occupe aujourd´hui une des premières places européennes.

this project approach the issue of limitation as a personal, political, economic and religious conflict, and state social exclusion and exploitation ...
Ce qui explose, quand explosent les censures imposées par les dirigeants, c'est un ordre moral fondé sur l'exploitation de tous. La famille, la virilité guerrière, la pudeur, toutes les valeurs traditionnelles visent à assigner chaque sexe à son rôle. Les hommes, en cadavres gratuits pour l'État, les femmes, en esclaves des hommes. Au final, tous asservis, nos sexualités confisquées, fliquées, normées. Il y a toujours une classe sociale qui a intérêt à ce que les choses restent comme elles sont, et qui ne dit pas la vérité sur ces motivations profondes.

Lagos de Covadonga, Asturias, España.
Los lagos de Covadonga son dos pequeños lagos, el Enol y el Ercina, de origen glaciar situados en la parte asturiana del parque nacional de los Picos de Europa, en el macizo occidental de dicha cadena montañosa. Existe un tercer lago, el Bricial, que solo tiene agua durante el deshielo, pero también pertenece al conjunto
Se sitúan en el concejo de Cangas de Onís y se accede a ellos a través de una carretera de 14,5 km que nace en el Real Sitio de Covadonga para llegar en primer lugar al lago Enol, incluyendo también una pequeña carretera que les llevaría hasta el Lago Ercina. Su frecuente uso desde 1983 como final de etapa en la Vuelta ciclista a España ha popularizado internacionalmente el paraje.
La afluencia masiva de turistas, sobre todo aficionados al ciclismo, ha obligado a limitar el desarrollo de pruebas ciclistas en el entorno de Los Lagos. No obstante, la zona cuenta con una infraestructura turística.
La excesiva afluencia de visitas, en especial en temporada alta, también ha supuesto que el acceso en coche a los Lagos esté restringido, pudiendo acceder únicamente utilizando el transporte público habilitado para ello. Los vehículos particulares no pueden circular por la carretera de acceso a Los Lagos durante 6 meses al año, en temporada alta. En temporada baja, no hay restricciones de acceso con vehículo particular.
En las proximidades del lago Ercina, en Buferrera, hasta 1979 se explotaron minas de hierro, manganeso y mercurio. Las personas que visitan dicho paraje tienen a su disposición un aparcamiento "aparcamiento de Buferrera", un centro de visitantes , un refugio y dos bares restaurante para su disfrute.
The lakes of Covadonga are two small lakes, Enol and Ercina, of glacial origin located in the Asturian part of the Picos de Europa national park, in the western massif of said mountain chain. There is a third lake, Bricial, which only has water during the thaw, but also belongs to the group
They are located in the municipality of Cangas de Onís and are accessed through a 14.5 km road that begins in the Royal Site of Covadonga to first reach Lake Enol, also including a small road that would take them to Lake Ercina. Its frequent use since 1983 as the end of the stage in the Cycling Tour of Spain has made the place internationally popular.
The massive influx of tourists, especially cycling fans, has forced the development of cycling events in the Los Lagos area to be limited. However, the area has a tourist infrastructure.
The excessive influx of visitors, especially in high season, has also meant that access by car to the Lakes is restricted, with access only possible using public transport enabled for this purpose. Private vehicles cannot circulate on the access road to Los Lagos for 6 months a year, during high season. In low season, there are no access restrictions with a private vehicle.
In the vicinity of Lake Ercina, in Buferrera, iron, manganese and mercury mines were exploited until 1979. People who visit this area have at their disposal a parking lot "Buferrera parking", a visitor center, a shelter and two restaurant bars for their enjoyment.
This locomotive was built in 1938. It was actively exploited until 1979. Now it is in working condition in the railway museum at the station Podmoskovnaya, Moscow.

Mines de fer. Alquife. Espagne 2020.
Son nom arabe "al-Kahf", la grotte, dénote son passé d'exploitation minière commencée par les romains.
Les mines de Alquife furent et continuent à être l'orgueil minier de la province de Grenade. C'est une exploitation en plein air et elle jouit d'une beauté caractéristique.
Depuis très longtemps son histoire a été liée à l'extraction de minéraux que les romains utilisaient déjà.
Pendant la période arabe-andalouse les mines continuèrent à être exploitées et ce sont les arabes qui donnèrent un nouveau nom au lieu: al-Kahf, d'où vient Alquife.
Historiquement, il fait partie de la région connue sous le nom de Marquesado del Zenete.

One of a collection of images I took on a day in december last year in the grounds of kenwood House in london Hampstead its a day I will never forget I see such beauty that day heres my album of other pictures I took that day www.flickr.com/photos/heavenxxx23/sets/72157638632787726/
Turquoise Lake is one of the tourist attractions of Wolin National Park. It is located south of the village of Wapnica (Międzyzdroje commune). Its area is 6.74 ha and it is 21.2 m deep. Since the groundwater level is 2.6 m above sea level, the lake forms a crypto depression with a depth of 18.6 m below sea level.
Before World War II, there was a chalk mine on the site of today's Turquoise Lake. After the end of World War II, the Russians dismantled the equipment located there and the open-cast mine gradually began to fill with water. In 1948, the Polish authorities decided to resume exploitation of the deposit, but by 1954 the chalk deposit had already been exhausted.
There is a karst phenomenon in the lake. The name of the lake comes from the bluish-green color of the water surface, which is caused by the splitting of sunlight in clear water and the reflections of the white chalk substrate with calcium carbonate compounds remaining on the bottom.
Der Türkissee ist eine der Touristenattraktionen des Nationalparks Wolin. Er befindet sich südlich des Dorfes Wapnica (Gemeinde Międzyzdroje). Seine Fläche beträgt 6,74 ha und er ist 21,2 m tief. Da der Grundwasserspiegel 2,6 m über dem Meeresspiegel liegt, bildet der See eine Kryptosenke mit einer Tiefe von 18,6 m unter dem Meeresspiegel.
Vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg befand sich an der Stelle des heutigen Türkissees ein Kreidebergwerk. Nach Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs demontierten die Russen die hier befindlichen Geräte und der Tagebau begann sich allmählich mit Wasser zu füllen. 1948 beschlossen die polnischen Behörden, die Ausbeutung der Lagerstätte wieder aufzunehmen, doch 1954 war das Kreidevorkommen bereits erschöpft.
Im See gibt es ein Karstphänomen. Der Name des Sees stammt von der bläulich-grünen Farbe der Wasseroberfläche, die durch die Aufspaltung des Sonnenlichts in klares Wasser und die Reflexionen des weißen Kreidesubstrats mit am Boden verbliebenen Calciumcarbonatverbindungen entsteht.

Sayama Hill (狭山丘陵) is an inselberg or isolated hill like Ayers Rock in the middle of flat Musashino. It is like a green island in the densely populated Tokyo suburb.
Japanese animation movie titled Tonarino Totoro (となりのトトロ My Neighbor Totoro) directed by Hayao Miyazaki (宮崎駿) is a nostalgic story set in Sayama Hill in the 1960s when it was a typical rural area but it is not like the movie anymore.
Sayama Hill strides over several municipalities in Tokyo and Saitama prefectures. This photo was taken in Higashi-yamato city (東大和市), Tokyo.
It is a typical Satoyama (里山), traditional agroforestry, in which a forest is maintained according to the needs of neighbouring communities (里 Sato) that exploit its resources such as fire woods, construction material, food, fertiliser, etc.

Dans ce #mondeDeMerde, faire ce qu'il faut pour respecter notre organisme tiens de l'exploit !!!
Una época en la que los megapíxeles se contaban con los dedos de una mano a la que le faltaban dedos....
En este #mundoDeMierda, hacer lo necesario para respetar nuestros cuerpos es toda una hazaña!
A time when mega pixels were counted on the fingers of a hand missing fingers...
In this #WorldOfShit, doing what's necessary to respect our bodies is quite a feat!

L’exploitation du sel est passée d’une production artisanale à une production semi-industrielle depuis environ 5 ans. 13 sociétés exploitent régulièrement le Lac dont quatre grandes sociétés qui s’accaparent 90 % de l’exploitation.
Ces sociétés disposent des moyens de production tels que des bulldozers, des camions, des hangars, des machines à coudre pour ensacher. L’évolution de la production de ces industries extractives a permis de créer environ 2000 emplois par an.
* le seul client important de Djibouti reste l’Ethiopie
* La tonne de sel (sous forme des sacs de 50 Kg) se vendait à 50 dollars en 1998. La concurrence et le manque d’organisation des sociétés ont fait chuter le prix actuellement à 24 dollars la tonne. Le sel djiboutien tel qu’il est n’est pas adapté à la consommation puisqu’il est récupéré sur la banquise qui n’est pas épargnée des déchets. En outre ce sel n’est pas iodé et il est mal conditionné, il est actuellement utilisé dans le domaine industriel. Les éthiopiens importent du sel alimentaire depuis d'autres pays

Selva de Irati, Navarra, España.
El bosque o la selva de Irati (Iratiko oihana en euskera) es un bosque repartido entre el norte de Navarra (España) y los Pirineos Atlánticos (Sola y Baja Navarra) en el suroeste de Francia.
Por su parte española está situada en el valle del río Irati, entre los montes de Orzanzurieta y Roncesvalles al oeste, y el monte Orhi al este. El límite sur lo pone la imponente mole de la Sierra de Abodi. Los principales accesos son por el oeste por Orbaiceta (Valle de Aézcoa) y por el este por Ochagavía (Valle de Salazar).
Se trata de la mayor masa forestal de Navarra y uno de los mayores y mejor conservados bosques de hayas (Fagus sylvatica) y abetos (Abies alba) de toda Europa. A pesar de ser un bosque explotado forestalmente desde los siglos XVI-XVII, el respeto y el buen hacer de los habitantes de estos valles ha hecho que se conserve en total plenitud. Existen dentro de la zona diversos espacios protegidos: todo el Irati es una ZEPA (Zona de Especial Protección de Aves), así como zonas protegidas como Reserva Natural o Reserva Integral del total de 17.000 ha del bosque.
The Irati forest or jungle (Iratiko oihana in Basque) is a forest distributed between the north of Navarra (Spain) and the Atlantic Pyrenees (Sola and Lower Navarra) in southwestern France.
For its Spanish part, it is located in the valley of the Irati river, between the Orzanzurieta and Roncesvalles mountains to the west, and the Orhi mountain to the east. The southern limit is set by the imposing mass of the Sierra de Abodi. The main accesses are to the west through Orbaiceta (Valle de Aézcoa) and to the east through Ochagavía (Valle de Salazar).
It is the largest forest mass in Navarra and one of the largest and best preserved beech (Fagus sylvatica) and fir (Abies alba) forests in all of Europe. Despite being a forest exploited by forestry since the 16th-17th centuries, the respect and good work of the inhabitants of these valleys has made it fully preserved. There are several protected areas within the area: the entire Irati is a ZEPA (Special Bird Protection Area), as well as protected areas such as Natural Reserve or Integral Reserve of the total 17,000 ha of forest.
Les marais salants s'étendent de Trapani à Marsala quasiment (côté ouest de l'île) et couvrent une zone d'environ 970 hectares. Certains sont encore en exploitation, et la zone des marais est une réserve naturelle gérée par le WWF depuis 1995. Cette gestion par le WWF permet la restauration des moulins, qui souvent tombent en ruine. Mais cette gestion fait de cette zone aussi une très belle réserve animalière riche en oiseaux type échassiers, flamands, faucons pêcheurs... et toutes sortes d'oiseaux migrateurs.
La récupération du sel dans la région date des phéniciens, le sel était alors essentiel pour la conservation des aliments. Le port de Trapani a alors vu croître son importance au XIIème siécle avec l'exploitation du sel, considéré comme le meilleur d'Italie. Aujourd'hui encore ce sel est considéré comme un sel de luxe, très utilisé dans la haute gastronomie.
Contrairement au sel de Guérande légèrement gris, sauf pour la fleur de sel, le sel de Trapani et de la région est très blanc. Ce blanc est vraisemblablement du au fait qu'il fait plus chaud qu'en France, et donc que l'évaporation étant plus rapide, le sable n'a pas le temps de se déposer sur le sel.
The salt marshes extend from Trapani to Marsala almost (west side of the island) and cover an area of approximately 970 hectares. Some are still in operation, and the marsh area is a nature reserve managed by WWF since 1995. This management by WWF allows the restoration of mills, which often fall into disrepair. But this management also makes this area a very beautiful animal reserve rich in wading birds, Flemish birds, fishing hawks ... and all kinds of migratory birds.
The recovery of salt in the region dates from the Phoenicians, salt was then essential for the preservation of food. The port of Trapani then saw its importance grow in the 12th century with the exploitation of salt, considered to be the best in Italy. Even today this salt is considered to be a luxury salt, widely used in haute cuisine.
Unlike the slightly gray Guérande salt, except for the fleur de sel, the Trapani and regional salt is very white. This white is probably due to the fact that it is warmer than in France, and therefore that evaporation is faster, the sand does not have time to settle on the salt.

Maroon bells, aspen, colorado
The Maroon Bells are two peaks in the Elk Mountains, Maroon Peak and North Maroon Peak, separated by about half a kilometer (one-third of a mile).[5] The mountains are on the border between Pitkin County and Gunnison County, Colorado, United States, about 12 miles (19 km) southwest of Aspen. Both peaks are fourteeners. Maroon Peak, at 14,163 feet (4317 m), is the 27th highest peak in Colorado. North Maroon Peak, at 14,019 feet (4273 m), is the 50th highest (depending on how they are counted). The view of the Maroon Bells to the southwest from the Maroon Creek valley is commonly photographed. The peaks are located in the Maroon Bells–Snowmass Wilderness of White River National Forest.[6][7] Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness was one of five areas in Colorado designated as wilderness in the original Wilderness Act of 1964. The Wilderness area surrounds the extremely popular Maroon Bells Scenic Area, which is a major access point for Wilderness travel.[8]
Unlike other mountains in the Rockies that are composed of granite and limestone, the Bells are composed of metamorphic sedimentary mudstone that has hardened into rock over millions of years. Mudstone is weak and fractures readily, giving rise to dangerously loose rock along almost any route. A US Forest Service sign on the access trail warns would-be climbers of "downsloping, loose, rotten and unstable" rock that "kills without warning". The mudstone is also responsible for the Bells' distinctive maroon color. The Bells got their "deadly" reputation in 1965 when eight people died in five separate accidents.
Maroon Lake elevation 9,580 ft (2,920 m) occupies a basin that was sculpted by Ice-Age glaciers and later dammed by a landslide and rockfall debris from the steep slopes above the valley floor.

“Silence stands outside the world of profit and utility; it cannot be exploited for profit; you cannot get anything out of it. It is ‘unproductive’ Therefore it is regarded as valueless. Yet there is more help and healing in silence than in all the 'useful things.’ Purposeless, unexplainable silence suddenly appears at the side of the all-too-purposeful, and frightens us by its very purposelessness. It interferes with the regular flow of the purposeful. It strengthens the untouchable, it lessens the damage inflicted by exploitation. It makes things whole again, by taking them back from the world of dissipation into the world of wholeness. It gives something its own holy uselessness, for that is what silence itself is: holy uselessness.” (Max Picard)
Le hameau de Muna (appelé aussi le « village des bandits ») est composé d’une dizaine de maisons installées vers les pentes rocheuses de la punta dia Spusata. Ce hameau est fondé vers 1740 en raison de l’exploitation forestière qui est entreprise dans ce secteur. Au XIXe , malgré l’accès limité à un sentier muletier, le hameau de Muna est doté d’une église et d’une école rassemblant jusqu’à une cinquantaine d’enfants. La population vivait de ses propres ressources (cultures, oliviers, châtaigniers .. ) A partir de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, le village est progressivement déserté alors qu’une centaine d’habitants y étaient comptabilisés jusqu’en 1960.
The sambar (Rusa unicolor) is a large deer native to the Indian subcontinent, South China and Southeast Asia that is listed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List since 2008. Populations have declined substantially due to severe hunting, local insurgency, and industrial exploitation of habitat.
The name "sambar" is also sometimes used to refer to the Philippine deer called the "Philippine sambar", and the Javan rusa called the "Sunda sambar".
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Marsalforn salt pans, known locally as Il-Qolla l-Bajda, are located on the north coast of Gozo Island, Malta, stretching along the rocky coast west of Marsalforn Bay. Carved directly into the limestone, they form an intricate mosaic of geometric tanks that reflects a centuries-old tradition of artisanal sea salt production.
The Marsalforn salt pans in Gozo are part of a tradition of salt exploitation that dates back to antiquity, long before the Middle Ages or modern periods. Their origin is closely linked to the Phoenicians and, later, the Romans, peoples who quickly understood the enormous economic and strategic value of salt in the Mediterranean.
The Phoenicians, great navigators and traders from the coast of present-day Lebanon, arrived in the Maltese islands around the first millennium BC. For them, Malta and Gozo were natural stops on trade routes between East and West. Salt, essential for food preservation and maritime trade, became a priority resource. Taking advantage of the rocky coastline, intense sun, and constant winds, the Phoenicians began digging shallow tanks in the limestone, creating the first organized structures for sea salt production. The simple and functional geometry of these primitive salt pans would lay the foundation for the system that is still recognized in Marsalforn.
With the Roman conquest of the Maltese islands in the 2nd century BC, salt production gained an even more structured dimension. The Romans perfected the Phoenician techniques, expanding the tanks, creating more efficient channels for the circulation of seawater, and integrating the salt pans into an organized economy on an imperial scale.
Over the following centuries, despite the successive dominations that passed through Gozo, the basic structure of these salt pans remained surprisingly faithful to the solutions created by the Phoenicians and Romans. Thus, walking through the salt pans of Marsalforn today is to traverse a space where more than two thousand years of history overlap.

Dear Tess,
Thank you for selecting this image as the cover for your wonderful group. It is truly an honor that you chose to do so. Ulf was a fearless Waheela Warrior who deeply loved his family and his homeland. He dared to call out the clown knights for their greed and cunning, and accepted a single combat challenge with a monstrous warlock in their service. Ulf fought honorably, but he was defeated. He died by a sword and with a sword in his hand before many witnesses, having fought against the abuse and exploitation of empathy and compassion in SL.
