PETITION TO CHANGE FLICKR BACK petitions.moveon.org/sign/change-flickr-back
The Second Punic War broke out in 218 BC after Hannibal's great Army made the famous military exploit of carrying war to Italy by crossing the Alps with approximatively 37 North African war elephants.
The fate of these elephants is tragic. Most died from the cold or from lack of food in the Alps, and the rest died in the first battle of Trebbia in Italy.
They were drunk and wore heavy armor for combat.
This species of North African elephant no longer exists, they were supposed to be smaller than any elephant we know of at the time.

Celle ci a une saveur tout à fait particulière puisque c'est enfin mon tout premier Martin 2020 , après m'être cassé les dents à plusieurs reprises sur mes spots habituels ces derniers temps , j'ai donc décidé de changer de tactique en exploitant d'autres endroits , armé d'une paire de jumelles j'ai cherché les indices m'indiquant ses lieux de pêche , et je suis tombé finalement sur une grosse branche de saule qui surplombe la rivière et c'est depuis cette branche que j'ai pu observer mon gaillard en action de pêche , ni une ni deux j'ai mis en place mon fameux mode opératoire habituel en fichant sur la berge un perchoir non loin de la branche et finalement ce matin là il est venu à deux reprises prendre possession de son tout nouveau plongeoir .

This one has a very special flavor since it's finally my very first Martin 2020, after having broken my teeth several times on my usual spots lately, so I decided to change tactics by exploiting 'other places, armed with a pair of binoculars I looked for clues indicating its fishing grounds, and I finally came across a large willow branch overlooking the river and it is from this branch that I I was able to observe my fellow fishing, neither one nor two I set up my famous usual operating mode by tying a perch on the bank not far from the branch and finally that morning he came twice to take possession of its brand new diving board.

PS: Many thanks 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
The Quran describes the oppressor or tyrant as "deaf, dumb and blind", which is essentially the spiritual reality of the tyrant. He cannot hear the cries of his victims; he cannot communicate with those he oppresses because he imperiously views them as representatives of a lower order of being than himself, and thus as mere commodities to be exploited or, even worse, as plagues to be cleansed; and he cannot see the harm he does. Aristotle (d. 322 BC) reminds us that all tyrants invariably surround themselves with sycophants because they cannot bear the truth. But the tyrant also needs these sycophants because he demands tacit approval of his beliefs and actions, and most of all he fears an honest and critical view of himself. The more the tyrant's power grows, the less he tolerates dissent. What is true of the tyrant is also true of the tyrannical nation. He demands that everyone agree with him and affirm his position because he cannot see, hear or speak to anyone but himself. He believes that his vision is clear, his understanding is unsurpassed, and his words, and only his words, are worthy of utterance or consideration. As human beings, only through others can we truly see ourselves, hear ourselves and talk to ourselves; but in his fixation on himself the tyrant is totally incapable of such reflection.
(Hamza Yusuf. Introduction to the "The prayer of the oppressed")
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

Mutations agricoles :
"Les agriculteurs de la commune de Salignac ont droit à trois labels appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC), dont le banon et à huit labels indication géographique protégée (IGP) (miel de Provence, agneau de Sisteron, alpes-de-haute-provence (IGP) blanc, rouge et rosé et VDP de Méditerranée blanc, rouge et rosé). Cependant, la vigne, composante de la triade méditerranéenne, n’est guère présente dans la commune. Au XIXè siècle, elle était cultivée pour l’autoconsommation. Actuellement, il ne reste que quelques hectares exploités.
L’olivier n’était pas cultivé à Salignac au début du XIXè siècle. Le terroir de la commune se situe en effet à la limite altitudinale de l’arbre, qui ne peut que difficilement être exploité au-delà des 650 mètres. Actuellement, l’oliveraie communale compte plus de 1000 pieds. L’huile produite à partir des olives récoltées dans la commune peut bénéficier des AOC huile d’olive de Provence et huile d’olive de Haute-Provence."

D’une superficie de 54 km2, le Lac Assal est remarquable à plusieurs points de vue :
Situé à – 153 mètres sous le niveau de la mer, c’est le point le plus bas du continent africain.
C’est une des étendues d’eau les plus salées du monde, avec teneur en sel de 348 grammes par litre : plus élevée que celle de la mer morte. Ce sel, objet de commerce par les nomades Afars depuis des temps immémoriaux, est aujourd’hui exploité de manière industrielle.
Le lac Assal aux eaux turquoises, entouré de sa banquise de sel, elle-même cernée par la lave, est d’une beauté incomparable ...
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.

Tunnel de l'ancienne voie ferrée, dite "ligne du charbon" sur laquelle transitaient les trains de transports de l'anthracite des mines du bassin d'Alès vers la vallée du Rhône, Lyon. L'ancienne voie ferrée est devenue "voie verte" et relie le département de l'Ardèche à celui du Gard. Les deux régions Occitanie et Rhône-Alpes-Auvergne, semblent bien ne pas s'accorder sur la politique de réhabilitation et d'exploitation de la plupart des moyens de transports interrégionaux, dont la voie ferrée de la rive droite du Rhône dont l'exploitation commerciale pourrait se poursuivre après la gare d'Aramon-Pont-du-Gard.

It is a real problem, is it not? How can we come to an understanding of this utterly diverse and complicated world whilst sitting in the particularity of our home? It is true that the media, from newspapers to TV and social media, offer us a daily digest of selected information. We would, I sincerely hope, critically examine these news and think for ourselves. However, even so, we would have to deal with the selective nature of the information. We never see "the whole picture". Our knowledge, even at the best of times, is necessarily fragmentary. It is absolutely important to be aware of this limitation - it is one of the virtues that make us human.
I am saying this because AI is on the march. AI has never ever left its ivory tower, it never "left home". It never made any experiences. AI has not seen anything. It does not know how to suffer. What it does is to harvest and (often illegally) exploit printed or published materials, information it has neither created nor even collected. It does not know what it does not know. And yet AI will come up with explanations and scenarios that are untroubled by any kind of self-doubt. AI does not know when it is peddling false information. AI will interpret the world whilst staying at its "home" and will not even be aware of it. Leica M8 plus Voigtlaender 35/1.4 at approx. F8.

Les Trompes de Chasse d'Hazebrouck :
La trompe de chasse est un instrument de musique français en laiton ou bronze, utilisé pour la vénerie. Issu des instruments de communication cynégétiques signalant par des sons lents ou courts, aigus ou graves, les différentes situations pendant la chasse. Ces instruments étaient faits de cornes d'animaux, de bois puis de cuivre. Les langages exploités par ces instruments s'appelaient les cornures. On chasse alors « À cor et à cri ».
Au temps où les méga pixels se comptaient sur les doigts d'une main à qui il manquait des doigts...
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!

Cattle Egret - Bubulcus ibis
BIRDGUIDES NOTEABLE PHOTO 10-16 April 2019
The cattle egret (Bubulcus ibis) is a cosmopolitan species of heron (family Ardeidae) found in the tropics, subtropics and warm temperate zones.
It is a white bird adorned with buff plumes in the breeding season. It nests in colonies, usually near bodies of water and often with other wading birds. The nest is a platform of sticks in trees or shrubs. Cattle egrets exploit drier and open habitats more than other heron species. Their feeding habitats include seasonally inundated grasslands, pastures, farmlands, wetlands and rice paddies. They often accompany cattle or other large mammals, catching insect and small vertebrate prey disturbed by these animals. Some populations of the cattle egret are migratory and others show post-breeding dispersal.
The cattle egret has undergone one of the most rapid and wide reaching natural expansions of any bird species.It was originally native to parts of Southern Spain and Portugal, tropical and subtropical Africa and humid tropical and subtropical Asia. In the end of the 19th century it began expanding its range into southern Africa, first breeding in the Cape Province in 1908. Cattle egrets were first sighted in the Americas on the boundary of Guiana and Suriname in 1877, having apparently flown across the Atlantic Ocean. It was not until the 1930s that the species is thought to have become established in that area.
The species first arrived in North America in 1941 (these early sightings were originally dismissed as escapees), bred in Florida in 1953, and spread rapidly, breeding for the first time in Canada in 1962. It is now commonly seen as far west as California. It was first recorded breeding in Cuba in 1957, in Costa Rica in 1958, and in Mexico in 1963, although it was probably established before that. In Europe, the species had historically declined in Spain and Portugal, but in the latter part of the 20th century it expanded back through the Iberian Peninsula, and then began to colonise other parts of Europe; southern France in 1958, northern France in 1981 and Italy in 1985.
Breeding in the United Kingdom was recorded for the first time in 2008 only a year after an influx seen in the previous year. In 2008, cattle egrets were also reported as having moved into Ireland for the first time. This trend has continued and cattle egrets have become more numerous in southern Britain with influxes in some numbers during the non breeding seasons of 2007/08 and 2016/17. They bred in Britain again in 2017, following an influx in the previous winter, and may become established there.
In Australia, the colonisation began in the 1940s, with the species establishing itself in the north and east of the continent. It began to regularly visit New Zealand in the 1960s. Since 1948 the cattle egret has been permanently resident in Israel. Prior to 1948 it was only a winter visitor.

La Réserve Naturelle Nationale des étangs du Romelaëre a pour origine d’anciennes tourbières dont l’exploitation, principalement au XIXème siècle, a donné naissance aux différents plans d’eau du site. Le Romelaëre est un espace d’une centaine d’hectares voué à la conservation de la biodiversité et à l’accueil du public grâce à un parcours aménagé de près de 2 km. C’est aussi le point de départ de nombreux sentiers de randonnée.
Quant au Relais du Romelaere, il est resté attaché aux traditions culinaires et festives de la région
Vous pourrez y goûter une cuisine à base de produits frais, mijotées selon des recettes traditionnelles et régionales.

V siècles d'exploitation du charbon dans le bassin ont permis le développement économique pour la relance et l'emploi.
Le puits des Graves a fonctionné de 1925 à 1978.
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

Jumping spiders mimic ants primarily to protect themselves from predators by exploiting the ants' defensive traits. Ants are often avoided by predators because they can bite, sting, or produce unpalatable substances like formic acid, and spiders gain survival benefits from appearing to be ants. The mimicry includes physical resemblance, with some spiders having an elongated body or raised front legs to mimic antennae, and behavioral patterns like weaving and pausing to imitate ant movement.

Good morning!
Recently, areas in Changis-sur-Marne that were once usable but had disappeared have started to come back to life, and here’s an example: this green and yellow ensemble, typical of the summer months.
The regular ‘IKEA train’ No. 52762 from Metz to Sablons makes its grand entrance =] Valenton marshalling yard operated by DB Cargo France, with Class 66249 (formerly ECR) hauling empty wagons and containers.
The train is seen on the C-shaped curve in the town mentioned above, under a leaden sky, with fields of sunflowers as a bonus.

Le gisement d’étain de la région d’Abbaretz a fait l’objet d’exploitations très anciennes, dès l’époque gallo-romaine. Mais c’est au début du 20ème siècle que d’importants travaux de recherche ont débuté par la société nantaise des Minerais de l’Ouest (SNMO). L’exploitation principale a été réalisée à ciel ouvert sur le site du Bois Vert à l’ouest du bourg d’Abbaretz à partir de 1952. La mine à ciel ouvert a atteint des profondeurs allant de 40 à 70 m. Lors de l’exploitation, les matériaux extraits à la pelle mécanique étaient transportés par bandes transporteuses soit au nord de la route départementale directement lorsqu’il s’agit de roche de découverte ou de minerai trop pauvre en étai, soit dans l’usine de traitement du minerai. Dans l’usine, le minerai était concassé et broyé pour récupérer l’étain. Une fois ce dernier récupéré, les résidus de traitement étaient envoyés dans des grandes aires de décantation au nord de la route départementale. Cette activité a généré les terrils du Bois Vert visibles aujourd’hui : le terril conique composé de stériles d’exploitation (matériaux plus ou moins grossiers, moins chargés en métaux) et les terrils tabulaires en forme de plateaux composés de résidus de traitement (matériaux plus fins de type sable, plus chargés en métaux). L’étude menée récemment par le BRGM conclut à une concentration relativement importante en métaux dans les sols (arsenic notamment) présente dans les résidus des anciennes activités de traitement du minerai. Cette zone ayant donné lieu à une exploitation minière dans le passé contient naturellement des teneurs en métaux plus élevées que la moyenne de terres initialement chargées en métaux. Ce rapport indique qu’en dehors d’une promenade le long du chemin de randonnée et sur la montée au belvédère du terril conique, les autres usages ne sont pas compatibles avec le site.
The tin deposit in the Abbaretz region has been exploited for a very long time, since the Gallo-Roman period. But it was at the beginning of the 20th century that important research work began by the Nantes company of West Minerals (SNMO). The main mining was carried out in the open pit at the Bois Vert site to the west of the village of Abbaretz from 1952. The open pit mine reached depths ranging from 40 to 70 m. During operation, the materials extracted with a mechanical shovel were transported by conveyor belts either to the north of the departmental road directly in the case of discovery rock or ore too poor in prop, or to the plant of ore processing. At the plant, the ore was crushed and ground to recover the tin. Once the latter was recovered, the treatment residues were sent to large settling areas north of the departmental road. This activity generated the Bois Vert slag heaps visible today: the conical slag heap made up of waste rock (more or less coarse materials, less loaded with metals) and the tabular slag heaps in the form of trays made up of treatment residues ( finer sand type, more loaded with metals). The recent study carried out by BRGM concludes that there is a relatively high concentration of metals in the soils (arsenic in particular) present in the residues of former ore processing activities. This area, which has been used for mining in the past, naturally contains higher metal contents than the average for soil initially loaded with metals. This report indicates that apart from a walk along the hiking trail and on the climb to the conical slag heap lookout, other uses are not compatible with the site.

After taking the earlier photo of the moonlight hitting El Capitan, the storm began to break up and I was hard pressed to make it to around the loop a couple of times before the moon and clouds were gone. I headed first to Swinging Bridge where I continued to fight with my 24-70 lens in the dark, then up to the meadow across from the falls, Cook's meadow, and then off to the Gates of the Valley.
But before I arrived at the Gates, I came around a corner, just West of the El Capitan Picnic Area and slammed on my breaks. I quickly jumped out and grabbed the 12mm fisheye. I tried several compositions here before the clouds really began to fall apart, but I think this one worked the best from what I was able to get.
As for the name of this particular pond, this is the first time that I had ever noticed it as it is generally not there for about 8 months out of the year. I looked around for a name for this particular meadow but haven't come up with anything yet. It's located between El Capitan Meadow and Leidig, but not listed on any of the maps that I could find. As the Cathedral Spires and Cathedral Rocks are in the background, I just went with "Cathedral Pond." (If there is an official name for it, please let me know.)
The other cool thing about this particular evening was that there was just no sleeping for the die hard photographers in the valley who were busy trying to shoot moon bows and capture the breaking storm. I met someone from Eastern Europe on Swinging bridge...maybe Croatia? All of us were alternating between frantically trying to get the correct exposure and simply standing there with our mouths open. I may have mentioned this earlier, but I had never seen water levels like this before. There was already heavy Spring runoff when I arrived but this this followed by a heavy afternoon thunderstorm. There were waterfalls and cascades coming down from everywhere in the valley, and it seemed that the entire valley floor was covered in ponds in every direction.. It's very difficult for me to find the time to make the trip up to Yosemite during the Spring every year, but each time I make the 12 hour round trip, I have never left disappointed on the long drive home.
