VT643 exploité par la DB, prêt au départ en gare de Wissembourg, pour assurer le train n° 81420 pour Neustadt Weinstrasse Hbf.
- Gare de Wissembourg, le 1er mai 2024 -
Cette plage longe la rive nord du Saint-Laurent, route 138, Baie-Trinité, Côte-Nord, Québec, Canada.
Baie-Trinité est une municipalité du Québec nommée en l'honneur de la Sainte Trinité. La principale activité économique est l'exploitation forestière, suivie de la pêche et la transformation des produits de la mer.
Construit à l'embouchure de la rivière Éternité qui se jette dans le fleuve Saint-Laurent, le village est aussi réputé pour ses plages et sa forêt épaisse qui borde le fleuve. À cause de la forme du littoral et son élargissement brusque juste à l’est de la ville, on considère que c’est à Baie-Trinité que débute l’estuaire du Saint-Laurent.
Baie-Trinité s’avère probablement le village le plus maritime de la région de Manicouagan. En effet, c’est un village tout en longueur, fait d’une succession d’anses et de pointes où des pêcheurs sont venus s’établir pour y exercer leur métier. L’importance maritime de Baie-Trinité tient aussi au fait qu’à l’époque de la navigation à voiles, la plupart des bateaux arrivés d’Europe s’y arrêtaient. Confrontés à l’entrée du St-Laurent à un vent qui vient des Grands Lacs, souvent les voiliers se dirigeaient d’abord vers la Côte-Nord; plein ouest, et aboutissent quelque part sur le littoral entre Sept-Îles et Baie-Trinité. Ils remontaient donc la côte jusqu’à Baie-Trinité qui constituait donc une zone maritime importante où les naufrages furent nombreux.
Une épave qui date de l’époque de la Nouvelle-France a d’ailleurs été retrouvée récemment: le Élisabeth and Mary, un bateau armé à Boston et faisant partie de l’expédition de guerre de Phips en 1690. Ça justifie la présence à Baie-Trinité du Centre national des naufrages du Saint-Laurent qui raconte l'histoire des principaux naufrages du Saint-Laurent de 1690 à nos jours. Le Centre offre d’ailleurs une exposition d'artéfacts de 300 ans provenant de la plus ancienne épave du Québec un dès navire de l'amiral Phips.
Together we’re building a new identity ecosystem, a globally recognized universal biometric ID blockchain system. It will be a biometric smartchip ID that will be tracked worldwide by AI to solve the 17 sustainable development goals.
The Mark of the Beast is a Certification Mark of authentication (the new global standard), affirming that all who are involved with this new global biometric digital ID blockchain are compliant with the core principles of the 17 Sustainable Development goals, which have been adopted by all the United Nations Member States. No one will be able to buy or sell or do anything in society without this Certification Mark. This Mark will now become mandatory for all. Without it, you will be arrested.
Through the means of a microchip implant we will be able to eradicate human trafficking (we cause the crisis, and then we offer you the solution). Every kind of supposed virtuous cause will be exploited to promote the 666 Beastchip. Climate change…take the smartchip…blah, blah, blah. Refugees…take the smartchip…blah, blah, blah. Human rights…take the smartchip…blah, blah, blah. Fight poverty…take the smartchip…blah, blah, blah. For the sake of equality, inclusiveness, and sustainability…take the smartchip…blah, blah, blah.

Le 1er Mai est fêté dans la plupart des Pays depuis le 1er Mai 1890.
Cette journée est l'aboutissement de longues et terribles luttes (durant la fin du 19ème siècle) contre le Patronat et l' Oppression afin d'obtenir des conditions de travail moins aliénantes.
Que ce soit aux Etats-Unis, en France et dans toute l'Europe, les Travailleurs (Travailleuses) se regroupent en formant l' Association Internationale du Travail.
Depuis le 1er Mai 1890.... cette journée est devenue la Journée Internationale des Travailleurs.
RESPECT à tous ces Hommes et ces Femmes qui ont permis, par la lutte, d'obtenir des conditions de travail dont nous profitons à ce jour......
Il paraît que de nos jours il n'y aurait plus de luttes des Classes......
Il paraît que nous sommes devenus des "partenaires" voire même des "collaborateurs"
Il paraît même qu'il y a les "vrais" et les "faux" travailleurs (les "vrais" étant ceux qui sont exploités par leur force de travail et les "faux" étant les chômeurs et les personnes vivant des minimas sociaux)
En ces Temps difficiles où l' Ignominie, la Roublardise, la Fourberie et la Récupération du 1er Mai sont à l'oeuvre ne nous laissons pas Troubler et continuons Notre Chemin
J'offre ce Muguet à toutes les personnes (Hommes et Femmes) qui continuent la lutte afin de préserver le peu qui reste des conditions de travail obtenues par de longues souffrances.
Alors profitons de cette Vidéo :

Domaine viticole d’Ardhuy à Corgoloin
Exploitation familiale transmise de père en filles, le Domaine d’Ardhuy est situé à la frontière entre la Côte de Beaune et la Côte de Nuits, autour de son vignoble emblématique « Le Clos des Langres ».
Le Domaine d’Ardhuy est guidé par une ligne directrice forte : produire de beaux raisins et de beaux vins, représentatifs de leur terroir. Cette finalité n’est atteinte que grâce à l’addition de plusieurs savoir-faire : le travail méticuleux et exigeant de la vigne, rythmé par les saisons, le respect de nos terroirs, l’attention portée lors de la vendange, la précision et la diversité des vinifications, la délicatesse des élevages en fûts, la maîtrise de la mise en bouteille. Le tout afin de garantir des vins de qualité et la promesse d’un authentique voyage gustatif.
Le Domaine d’Ardhuy a obtenu la certification en Agriculture Biologique et Biodynamique à partir du millésime 2012 pour l’ensemble de son vignoble. En février 2018, suite à des millésimes difficiles, il a été décidé de faire une pause de la certification afin d’engager un travail de fond sur nos pratiques culturales, toujours dans le respect du terroir et de l’environnement. L’objectif du domaine est celui d’un retour progressif à la certification AB dans un premier temps, à partir de 2024. Ils se sont engagés dans la certification environnementale à partir du millésime 2019, pour lequel ils sont certifiés Haute Valeur Environnementale Niveau 3.

Pas un exploit en terme d'animalier. Je roulais en quête de beauté dans ce brouillard matinal quand j'ai aperçu d'étranges silouhettes dans une propriété bordant la petite route départementale.
Je dis “étrange” car les seuls cervidés endémiques dans les environs proches de la montagne Noire sont les chevreuils. Il y a bien des élevages de daguets dont l'objectif est de commercialiser la viande, mais les animaux sont bagués. Ici, mystère... Aucun marquage. Un refuge peut-être ? Un propriétaire amoureux de ces animaux ? Toujours est- il que ce fut agréable de voir ces belles créatures apparaître dans la brume l'espace d'un instant.
...................................
Not exactly a wildlife sighting. I was driving in search of beauty through the morning fog when I spotted some strange silhouettes on a property bordering the small country road.
I say "strange" because the only deer species native to the area around the Montagne Noire are roe deer. There are indeed farms raising young deer for meat, but those animals are tagged. Here, it's a mystery... No tag at all. A sanctuary perhaps? An owner who loves these animals? In any case, it was a pleasure to see these beautiful creatures appear in the mist for just a moment.

I was looking for subjects to exploit when I came across this old bucket that has holes in the bottom, that my wife was looking to get rid of. I thought that it would make an interesting still life, and I took pictures of it empty, but I thought it needed something else, so I grabbed this little piece of driftwood that she had collected from some beach in Baja, and put them together.
Lighting sutff. I wanted side lighting to create the shadows that reveal shapes and textures so I put a YN560-III in a 24 inch soft box at camera left, and then used a hand mirror at camera right for fill. The strobe and my tripod mounted camera were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other still life images that I've attempted are in my Still Life album. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157635247182331/
Cincinnati (/ˌsɪnsɪˈnæti/ SIN-sih-NAT-ee) is a major city in the U.S. state of Ohio and is the government seat of Hamilton County. Settled in 1788, the city is located at the northern side of the confluence of the Licking and Ohio rivers. The city drives the Cincinnati–Middletown–Wilmington combined statistical area, which had a population of 2,172,191 in the 2010 census making it Ohio's largest metropolitan area. With a population of 301,301, Cincinnati is the third-largest city in Ohio and 65th in the United States. Its metropolitan area is the fastest growing economic power in the Midwestern United States based on increase of economic output and it is the 28th-biggest metropolitan statistical area in the U.S. Cincinnati is also within a half day's drive of sixty percent of the United States populace.
In the nineteenth century, Cincinnati was an American boomtown in the heart of the country. Throughout much of the 19th century, it was listed among the top 10 U.S. cities by population, surpassed only by New Orleans and the older, established settlements of the United States eastern seaboard, as well as being the sixth-biggest city for a period spanning 1840 until 1860. As Cincinnati was the first city founded after the American Revolution, as well as the first major inland city in the country, it is regarded as the first purely "American" city.
Cincinnati developed with fewer immigrants and less influence from Europe than east coast cities in the same period. However, it received a significant number of German immigrants, who founded many of the city's cultural institutions. By the end of the 19th century, with the shift from steamboats to railroads drawing off freight shipping, trade patterns had altered and Cincinnati's growth slowed considerably. The city was surpassed in population by other inland cities, particularly Chicago, which developed based on strong commodity exploitation, economics, and the railroads, and St. Louis, which for decades after the Civil War served as the gateway to westward migration.
Cincinnati is home to three major sports teams: the Cincinnati Reds of Major League Baseball; the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League; and FC Cincinnati, currently playing in the second division United Soccer League but moving to Major League Soccer (Division 1) in 2019. The city's largest institution of higher education, the University of Cincinnati, was founded in 1819 as a municipal college and is now ranked as one of the 50 largest in the United States. Cincinnati is home to historic architecture with many structures in the urban core having remained intact for 200 years. In the late 1800s, Cincinnati was commonly referred to as the "Paris of America", due mainly to such ambitious architectural projects as the Music Hall, Cincinnatian Hotel, and Shillito Department Store. Cincinnati is the birthplace of William Howard Taft, the 27th President of the United States.

Le Château Labégorce est un domaine composé de 70 hectares de vignes en appellation Margaux, dans la région de Bordeaux. Ce château est la propriété de la famille Perrodo depuis 1989. Il est situé entre les communes de Margaux et Soussans. Le second vin produit sur la propriété est Zédé de Labégorce, qui bénéficie de la même qualité de terroir.
Le vignoble de Labégorce est l'un des plus anciens de Margaux. L'existence de la « Maison Noble de La Bégorce » remonte à 1332. Des générations de seigneurs et cultivateurs se sont succédé pour façonner l'identité du domaine. En 1789, la propriété est morcellée en trois parties: Labégorce Margaux (dont le château, de style néoclassique, situé au cœur du vignoble de Margaux, est l'œuvre de l'architecte Corcelles), Labégorce Zédé et L'Abbé Gorsse de Gorsse. Deux cents après, Hubert Perrodo réussit le pari fou de la réunir, en acquérant Labégorce Margaux en 1989, L’Abbé Gorsse de Gorsse en 2002, et Labégorce-Zédé en 2005.
L'exploitation est dirigée depuis 2006 par sa fille Nathalie Perrodo qui, à la mort de son père, a pris la tête des Vignobles Labégorce (dont fait aussi partie le château Marquis d'Alesme Becker, 3e Grand Cru Classé de Margaux
The radiated tortoise (Astrochelys radiata) is a species in the family Testudinidae. Although this species is native to and most abundant in southern Madagascar, it can be also be found in the rest of this island, and has been introduced to the islands of Réunion and Mauritius.
Growing to a carapace length of up to 16 in (41 cm) and weighing up to 35 lb (16 kg), the radiated tortoise is considered to be one of the world's most beautiful tortoises.
This tortoise has the basic "tortoise" body shape, which consists of the high-domed carapace, a blunt head, and elephantine feet. The legs, feet, and head are yellow except for a variably sized black patch on top of the head.
The carapace of the radiated tortoise is brilliantly marked with yellow lines radiating from the center of each dark plate of the shell, hence its name.
There is slight sexual dimorphism. Compared to females, male radiated tortoises usually have longer tails and the notches beneath their tails are more noticeable.
As the radiated tortoises are herbivores, grazing constitutes 80-90% of their diets, while they also eat fruits and succulent plants. A favorite food in the wild is the Opuntia.
The species is very long-lived. The oldest radiated tortoise ever recorded with certainty was Tu'i Malila, which died at an estimated age of 188. A tortoise named Adwaita is widely believed to have been even older at its death in 2006.
Males first mate upon attaining lengths of about 12 in (31 cm); females may need to be a few inches longer. Females lay from three to 12 eggs in a previously excavated hole 6-8 in (15–20 cm) deep, and then depart. Incubation is quite long in this species, lasting usually between 5 and 8 months. Juveniles are between 1.2 and 1.6 inches (3.2 and 4 cm) upon hatching. Unlike the yellow coloration of the adults, the juveniles are a white to an off-white shade. Juveniles attain the high-domed carapace soon after hatching.
These tortoises are critically endangered due to habitat loss, being poached for food, and being over exploited in the pet trade. It is listed on CITES Appendix I, commercial trade in wild-caught specimens is illegal (permitted only in exceptional licensed circumstances). However, due to the poor economic conditions of Madagascar, many of the laws are largely ignored.

SNCF 61010, Téterchen (ligne Béning - Bouzonville), 20 Février 2007.
Pendant ses dernières années d'exploitation, la cokerie de Carling travaillait pour les usines sidérurgiques de Dillingen (Saar) en Allemagne. Des trains de coke reliaient quotidiennement ces usines, via Bouzonville, la ligne de la Nied et le point frontière de Niedaltdorf. Le 20 Février 2007, les 61010 et 61007 débouchent du tunnel de Téterchen avec une de ces navettes. 2007 était également la dernière année où ces trains étaient tractés par la SNCF.
I have not been posting much recently nor visiting as much as I would like to as I have been trying to understand how the theft of our photos occurs and what if anything can be done about it.
Some weeks ago I found that a lot of my photos were available for download at highest resolution from a site called jellyfields.com. There is a very long thread on the help forum that explains more about how Jellyfields works and how it doesn't follow flickr rules - Jellyfields saves flckr images on their own servers and allows users to download and ignore copyright restrictions. I contacted Jellyfields to remove my photos and they did - at least they are no longer visible. Whether they have removed my photos from their server is another question. And if they have yours then you too will have to contact to have them removed. Obviously they rely on the majority of users not knowing or not mailing them.
Shortly after this I found several more of my photos popping up in places where I don't want them to be.
I wrote about this before in 2011 .... www.flickr.com/photos/mauritius100/6140557912/in/photolis...
and mentioned it as well here
www.flickr.com/photos/mauritius100/13955758679/
But recently things seem to have got worse ... perhaps other sites have taken the photos from Jellyfields or are exploiting what seems to be a new weakness in flickr and using the same method as Jellyfields did to get larger photos.
Last week I logged on to my.pixsy.com and loaded my flickr stream. It gave several new matches with my photos, places using them without my consent. One of the first I looked at showed one of my photos alongside many pornographic images. That site made my image available for download or sharing and suggested that I had put the image there. I have notified Flickr of this example of abuse of a flickr image by a third party site and also noted this information on the flickr help forum. 24 hours later I have had a mail from them saying that basically that they can do nothing as the photo has been downloaded and that I will have to contact the site owners.
From now on I will not be making large images public but will make public a second copy 1600 pixels wide. I have turned off permissions for several third party apps, turned off sharing and hidden my photos from searches on third party sites. I have always enjoyed sharing my photos and seeing yours here ... and hope this can continue.
I'll let you know if any of this works.
The Pittville Pump Room was the last and largest of the spa buildings to be built in Cheltenham.
The well from which the Pump Room's waters originate was first exploited by Henry Skillicorne around 1740, about 25 years after the waters were first discovered in 1716. After the visit to Cheltenham in 1788 of King George III, the town became increasingly fashionable. In the 1820s the local landowner Joseph Pitt determined to develop the northern part of the town as 'Pittville', of which the Pump Room and its spa were to form an important element as part of a pleasure garden.
The Pump Room was built by the architect John Forbes between 1825 and 1830. It is a Grade I listed building standing at the northern end of Pittville Lawn with landscaped grounds running down to a lake. The building contains the original Pump, made of marble and scagliola, to which the waters are today fed by electric pumping.
The building has a colonnade of Ionic columns; the interior houses a ballroom on its ground floor. Further Ionic columns support a gallery under a dome from which music might be played; on upper floors there were a billiard room, library and reading room. Above the colonnade are three statues, by Lucius Gahagen, erected in 1827, of the goddess Hygieia, Aesculapius and Hippocrates.
The Pump Room and its grounds were managed during the 19th century by a succession of lessees, who offered the typical fare of pleasure gardens including menageries, exhibitions and hot air balloon trips. However the concession did not prove lucrative. Eventually Pitt himself went bankrupt and in 1890 the Room and the grounds passed into the ownership of the town council.
They are now owned by Cheltenham Borough Council, which has continued to use them for public events. The Pump Room is frequently used as a concert hall, especially during the Cheltenham Music Festival. At one time the upper floor housed a Museum of Fashion.

With the UFA Invasion underway, dozens of Eurasian bunkers had been raided and decimated. One base in particular, though, had an increased amount of activity. Curious of this, the UFA sent pathfinders to find out what significance this commotion was. Upon entering the facility unnoticed, a couple of rebel leaders were being tortured, and soon after one of them was executed for noncompliance. The pathfinders were shocked at this discovery, since the rebels and Eurasians shared similar goals. What was really going on? The pathfinders became unaware of their movements, and alerted the guards of their position. Communication to UFA headquarters were soon disrupted, and the secret of this seeming betrayal died after the bombing of this facility soon after.
Very fun to get back into the swing of things, and to continue this storyline for the World In Darkness group from Everette. Made this quick scene in one night since I've been busy with music and schoolwork. I had two sets of lighting, and couldn't only post one of them, so you'll get both :))
