Le Grèbe huppé niche entre avril et juillet. À cette époque, les adultes portent une double huppe et des oreillettes brunes encadrant la tête. Lors de la parade nuptiale complexe, le mâle et la femelle se font face et dressent le cou. Il nagent de concert, se frottent le cou tout en émettant des cris sonores, plongent puis réapparaissent, l'un des deux présentant des algues à l'autre. Le couple s'immobilise, poitrine contre poitrine, et chaque oiseau tourne la tête d'un côté puis de l'autre. Ce manège peut se perpétuer même lorsque les grèbes sont occupés à la construction du nid. Ce dernier est constitué principalement d'algues . Il peut reposer sur un fond vaseux mais il est conçu en principe pour affleurer la surface. Il peut également flotter mais il est alors arrimé à une souche ou à un paquet de végétaux entremêlés. Les adultes en garnissent la coupe peu profonde de végétaux qui servent à recouvrir les œufs si les adultes s'absentent du nid. La ponte est composée de 3 à 6 œufs blancs qui virent ensuite au brun et deviennent de ce fait plus discrets. Les adultes couvent en se relayant toutes les quelques heures. L'éclosion intervient au bout de 28 jours. Les jeunes sont capables de nager aussitôt mais ils restent dépendants de leurs parents plusieurs semaines.

The Great Crested Grebe nestles between April and July. At this time, adults wear a double crest and brown atria framing the head. During the complex courtship, the male and the female face each other and raise the neck. They swim together, rub their necks while emitting loud cries, dive and then reappear, one of them having algae to another. The couple stands still, chest to chest, and each bird turns its head on one side then the other. This ride can continue even when grebes are busy building the nest. The latter consists mainly of algae. It can rest on a muddy bottom but it is designed in principle to be flush with the surface. It can also float but is then stowed to a stump or a bundle of plants intermingled. Adults fill the shallow cut of plants that cover the eggs if adults are absent from the nest. The egg is composed of 3 to 6 white eggs which turn brown then become more discreet. Adult convent by taking turns every few hours. The hatching occurs after 28 days. The young are able to swim immediately but remain dependent on their parents for several weeks.

... tutti un po' ci rimiriamo! Fortuna che intorno a noi (e su Flickr) vediamo tanta bellezza anche attraverso gli occhi degli altri, il che vuol dire attraverso modi diversi di vedere e interpretare e ciò funziona da potente correttivo.
Baptisterium, Cathedral Siena, Tuscany, Italy
Van 1417–1431 werkten Jacopo della Quercia en Donatello aan het ontwerp en de uitvoering van het doopvont. Dit zeshoekig bekken -gemaakt van marmer, brons en email- staat op twee treden en is een fundamenteel voorbeeld van Renaissance beeldhouwkunst van de vroege vijftiende eeuw. Erboven een zuil met een zeshoekige ciborie met daarop een beeld van Johannes de Doper. Het bekken is versierd met bas-reliëfs met scènes uit het leven van Johannes de Doper.
This lagoon is created by the waters from 25 water springs coming from Paul da Serra, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.
Gloucester Cathedral, or the Cathedral Church of St Peter and the Holy and Undivided Trinity, in Gloucester, England, stands in the north of the city near the river. It originated with the foundation of an abbey dedicated to Saint Peter in 678 or 679 (dissolved by King Henry VIII of England).

Salve, Umbria verde, e tu del puro fonte
nume Clitumno! Sento in cuor l'antica
patria e aleggiarmi su l'accesa fronte
gl'itali iddii.
Chi l'ombre indusse del piangente salcio
su' rivi sacri? ti rapisca il vento
de l'Apennino, o molle pianta, amore
d'umili tempi!
...
Giosuè Carducci
"Alle fonti del Clitumno"
Ad fontes - Zu den Quellen.
Manchmal kann es nicht schaden, sich zwischen all den mehr oder weniger weit von zu Hause entfernt entstandenen Aufnahmen, die sich im Laufe der letzten Jahre im Archiv angesammelt haben, auch mal wieder diejenigen anzuschauen, mit denen die Begeisterung für das Sujet "Bahn und Landschaft" eigentlich angefangen hat. So bin ich bei dieser "Rückbesinnung" unter anderem auf diese Morgenstimmung gestoßen, die ich am 20. April 2011 in der weiten Hügellandschaft der Westpfalz (von bornierten Geistern vom Haardtrand mitunter, anknüpfend an vergangene bayerische Zeiten, standhaft als "Hinterpfalz" bezeichnet...) bei Rehweiler festgehalten habe.
In den ersten Sonnenstrahlen des noch jungen Frühlingstags bahnte sich ein einzelner 643er als RB 12913 (Kusel - Kaiserslautern) seinen Weg durch das Blütenmeer, während sich in der Senke, die der Glan hier geformt hat, noch letzte Reste des morgendlichen Bodennebels hielten. Bei meiner Ankunft am kleinen Haltepunkt des Orts etwa eine halbe Stunde zuvor war dieser noch erheblich dichter gewesen und ich sah die geplanten Fotos schon gefährdet... Doch manchmal hat man eben einfach Glück! ;)
Le Fonti di Clitunno un Parco naturale immerso nel verde dell'Umbria, un luogo dal sapore fiabesco, accarezzato dal verde della natura che nasce straordinariamente anche da sotto l'acqua creando meravigliosi colori e riflessi.

DUOMO DI ORVIETO
Nel 1372 si portava alla fabbrica del Duomo un grande blocco di marmo rosso da utilizzare per il fonte battesimale, fin dal 1373 venivano preparati i modelli dei leoni che dovevano sostenere il fonte. Nel 1385 la si trasportò all’interno del Duomo e nel 1390 Luca di Giovanni di Siena procedeva a scolpirla. L’opera andò forse persa e nel 1402 Pietro di Giovanni di Friburgo ebbe l’incarico di scolpire un nuovo fonte con figure, foglie e fiori e sempre in marmo rosso, opera tuttora conservata. Giacomo di Pietro di Guido da Firenze l’anno dopo la fissò dove ancora la vediamo. Nel 1407 Sano di Matteo da Siena compiuta la copertura del fonte a piramide ottagonale vi poneva la data e la sua firma. Nel 1424 Donato da Firenze, il Donatello, fuse per il fonte una figura di San Giovanni Battista, oggi mancante

The 12th century Tournai font in Winchester Cathedral.
The magnificent Tournai black marble font has been used to baptize the cathedral's congregation since about 1150 AD. Its square shape lends its sides to tell the story of St Nicholas. He is easily recognized in his bishop’s mitre and crozier and in a cartoon like way is shown going about his kindly acts.
One part of the carving tells the tale of a poor nobleman who comes kneeling before St Nicholas. He has led a life of shame because he cannot afford to give his three daughters a dowry.
St. Nicholas takes pity on the man giving him a purse of gold coins. The nobleman passes it onto his daughter whilst the young man she hopes to marry stands to the side. It is difficult to imagine the impact of such imagery in a time when there were few images created. The font would have been rather like a picture book for those gazing upon it.
A wonderful boat filled with travellers rears up on the other side, with St Nicholas saving lives at sea. The depiction of the boat is thought to be the earliest showing a boat with high prow and fixed stern rudder.
Contrary to its description as a black marble, Tournai stone is in fact a fine grained Lower Carboniferous, dark limestone which takes a polish. It has the appearance of marble when polished and hence its name.
