Was working on a little free form several months back of some sappers digging the mine tunnels at Messines Ridge, scrapped it and completely forgot about it but I found a pic of the WIP so here ya go.
La pointe de Dinan est une pointe de Bretagne dans la presqu'île de Crozon, marquant la limite nord-ouest du cap de la Chèvre. Elle est située au sud de Camaret-sur-Mer, sur le territoire de la commune de Crozon.

POURSUIVRE LA BEAUTÉ EN AUVERGNE.
BrÖk et Plume.
Parce que à cette OEUVRE grandiose qui ose, il s'est passé une chose (...).
PASSAAAAAAAGE
ÉNERGIE
Et tout l'environnement a suivi.
MIRACLE ET NON MIRAGE.
Qui sait, peut-être le tout début d'une sacralité en germe dans le coeur et le labeur, en duo.
Mère et fils.
A Dieu vaille et le fasse.
CHEMIN vraiment.

For Mosaic Montage Monday theme of Fluid Forms is this montage of the young curled fern frond at the Dale Chihuly Exhibit at the Adelaide Botanic garden and an overlay of flowing lines and dots. Many of Dale Chihuly pieces exhibit flowing curls and curves too indicating fluidity. HMMM
Named after the distinctive white band at the base of bill. Medium size, grayish-brown goose, with irregular black barring on underparts; orange feet and legs. Bill distinctive orange in Greenland form with whitish tip. Most young birds acquire white front and bill during first Winter; acquire black belly markings by second Fall. Color and size vary in adults: small, pale arctic tundra birds have heavy barring; taiga breeding birds are larger, darker with less barrings. Greenland form has heaviest barrings. Casual and increasing Winter visitor on East coast from Quebec to Georgia, although the goose is very uncommon east of the Mississippi River.
This lone goose was among hundreds of Canadian Geese near an icy campus lake, Mt. Holyoke College. Was a very cold, overcast day here today. The sun just peeked out for a few minutes and I caught this shot. The bird is rare for this month and in this region of US.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uckermark
The Uckermark, a historical region in northeastern Germany, currently straddles the Uckermark District of Brandenburg and the Vorpommern-Greifswald District of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Its traditional capital is Prenzlau.
Geography
The region is named after the Uecker River, which is a tributary of the Oder; the name Uckermark means "March of the Uecker". The river's source is close to Angermünde, from where it runs northward to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The Oder River, forming the German-Polish border, bounds the region in the east. The western parts of the Lower Oder Valley National Park are located in the Uckermark.
History
Early history
In the Ice Age, glaciers shaped the landscape of the region. A climate change left a hilly area with several lakes formed by the melting ice, and humans started to settle the area. Megalithic-cultures arose, followed by Germanic cultures.
Ukrani, a Polabian tribe
From the 6th–12th centuries Polabian Slavs migrating from Eastern Europe moved westward into the later Uckermark. The Slavs settling the terra U(c)kera (Uckerland, later Uckermark) became known as Ukrani (Ukranen, Ukrer, Ukri, Vukraner).[1] Their settlement area was centered around the lakes Oberuckersee and Unteruckersee at the spring of the Uecker River. In this region, burghs with a proto-town suburbium were set up at Drense and on an isle in Lake Oberuckersee (near modern Prenzlau).
In 954, Margrave Gero of the Saxon Eastern March (the marca Geronis), aided by Holy Roman Emperor Otto I's son-in-law, Conrad of Lorraine, launched a successful campaign to subdue the Ukrani, who had come in reach of the Empire after the 929 Battle of Lenzen. After the 983 revolt of the Obodrites and Liutizians, the area became independent again, yet remained under permanent military pressure, especially from Poland and the Holy Roman Empire.
Pomerania, Ostsiedlung
In 1172 Pomeranian dukes, vassals of the Duchy of Saxony, later of the Holy Roman Empire, controlled the area. In the course of the medieval Ostsiedlung, the Ukrani were Christianized and Germanized by Saxons, who founded monasteries, castles, and towns; the Slavic heritage is reflected in the many regional towns whose names end with "-ow" and "-in". The early centers of the territory were the Seehausen (Gramzow) Premonstratensian monastery and the city of Prenzlau, developed and granted German town law by Barnim I, Duke of Pomerania, in 1234. Both the central city and the central monastery were set up beside the former Ukrani central burghs.
Pomerania and Brandenburg struggle for overlordship
The Margraviate of Brandenburg, holding claims on the Duchy of Pomerania, expanded north since the 1230s, taking her chances while the House of Pomerania was weakened. In the 1250 Treaty of Landin, Barnim I conceded the Uckermark to John I and Otto III, Ascanian Margraves of Brandenburg. After the extinction of the Ascanians, the Pomeranian dukes reacquired a few border regions. Mecklenburg advanced into the Uckermark, but lost her gains in a 1323 war with Brandenburg. In the Pomeranian-Brandenburg War from 1329–33, Pomerania was able to defeat Brandenburg at Kremmer Damm. In the following years, control of the Uckermark was disputed by Brandenburg, Mecklenburg, and Pomerania.
Brandenburg
The first Peace of Prenzlau of 3 May 1448 established Brandenburg's control over most of the territory, except for the northern Pasewalk and Torgelow region, which was to remain in Pomerania and is not considered to be a part of Uckermark anymore. Though another Brandenburgian-Pomeranian war was fought in the area in the 1460s, Brandenburg's possession of most of the Uckermark was confirmed again in a second Peace of Prenzlau on 30 July 1472, which was renewed on 26 June 1479.
Prussia, and Huguenot settlement
The Uckermark became part of Brandenburg-Prussia in 1618, but was ravaged during the Thirty Years' War. Frederick William, the Great Elector, invited large numbers of French Huguenots to resettle the Uckermark and his other territories by announcing the Edict of Potsdam. These Huguenots helped to develop the economy and culture of the Uckermark. In 1701 the territory became part of the Kingdom of Prussia.

Shrimping starts off the pier the last of July through September according to those I talked to when visiting. This man was trying to catch bait for a fishing trip, but he wasn't young and threw it so much that he had to be tired! I was so excited to see this action and was hoping to catch that net in action against the sun.
@Fotosöndag: Form kan vara vad som helst. Därför kom jag att fundera på, vilken form som kan vara avgörande för att fylla en funktion. Det första som dök upp var en "gammaldags" blyertspenna som måste formas med hjälp av en pennvässare för att fungera.
In its freshly ground form (from whole nutmegs), nutmeg contains myristicin, a monoamine oxidase inhibitor and psychoactive substance. Myristicin poisoning can induce convulsions, palpitations, nausea, eventual dehydration, and generalized body pain. Rather disturbingly it was commonly used in the middle ages to induce abortions, although in what quantities is unclear.

He can hold the carvers too =D Had to add those minifig hands in the fingers for it though. Look proper of a scrapbot, which fits him, but also a bit evilish. Tsk.
J'ai pris ces photos un matin, à 5h40, lorsque le soleil se levait..
I took these pictures a morning at 5:40am, during the sunrise

Erosion forms deep ravines in the packed earth of the badlands in Anza Borrego, as seen from Fonts Point overlook. Kevin and I started in Death Valley National Park and then drove south through Antelope Valley (previous post) and Joshua Tree, through the Coachella valley and on to Anza Borrego following the trail of the 2019 superbloom. I was struggling somewhat with compositions here so I finally decided to just embrace the raggedy erosion lines of sedimentary conglomerate (my geology-studying daughter has me finally learning the terms) leading down from the overlook. They were just catching the first rays of the rising sun and even though in harsher daylight they are pretty ugly, I found a certain rough beauty in the warmer dawn light. Of course I blew out the sun so I cut the top of the image off to let the aperture blade rays do the talking.
If you are ever in the area, Fonts Point is a soaring overlook with Ocotillo plants clinging crazily to the edges of these eroding cliffs, and is well worth the 30 minute drive from Borrego Springs. A river bed meanders through the badlands towards the Salton Sea. As an interesting aside for the curious or paranoid, the recent discovery of another fault line near the existing San Andreas fault that runs along the edge of the Salton Sea has raised speculation that this could be a likely location for the next "big one".
