GÉNÉRATION
En hommage à Florence, ma petite-fille, qui m’a spontanément proposé le titre de cette image.
__________
Sur ces rivages bordés d’infini, un père initie son jeune fils à l’art de la pêche en eau peu profonde. Au premier abord, on pourrait croire qu’il s’agit d’une simple scène de pêche, pourtant…
Dans nos sociétés, l’idée de génération est souvent réduite à une opposition statique entre le passé et l’avenir, entre l’ancien et le nouveau. Je crois plutôt qu’il faut y voir un mouvement, un mouvement continu de transmission et d’évolution des connaissances et des mentalités humaines. En somme, cette transmission, notamment par la filiation, permets à l’originel de rester original et de poursuivre l’aventure humaine. * Ce que nous appelons « l’avenir » est, en fait, le résultat de l’interaction et de la transmission par toutes les générations. **
_________
Ici, sur ces rivages bien en retrait des mondes utopiques qui alimentent la fureur de nos sociétés, le père et le fils renouent avec la patience et la modestie fondamentale de l’existence des êtres. Et aussi avec l’enchantement originel devant la beauté et le mystère de notre monde.
La pêche aura été un bon prétexte pour cela.

GENERATION
In honor of Florence, my granddaughter, who spontaneously suggested the title of this image.
__________
On these shores bordered by infinity, a father introduces his young son to the art of shallow-water fishing. At first glance, one might think this is a simple fishing scene, yet...
In our societies, the idea of generation is often reduced to a static opposition between past and future, between old and new. Instead, it should be seen as a movement, a continuous movement of transfer and evolution of knowledge and human mentalities. In short, this transfer, particularly through filiations (kinship), allows the original to remain original and to continue the human adventure.* What we call the future is, in fact, the result of all these generations interacting.
._________
Here, on these shores far removed from the utopian worlds that fuel the fury of our societies, father and son reconnect with the patience and fundamental modesty of being. Also with the original enchantment in front of the beauty and mystery of our world.
Fishing was a good excuse for this.

It was fun to observe an intriguing behaviour of the family of Common Moorhen (Gallinula chloropus) on a duckweed-covered pond. On the left, there are two immature chicks sharing the nest (just about) with one adult parent arriving with food. If you look closer, the heads of two recently hatched chicks looking for food can be seen at the rare of two older siblings; in fact there are at least three younger chicks. What happened next was that one of the big chicks got the food from the adults. Luckily, the third immature chick arrived at the nest and gave some food to one younger sibling (image on the right).
I have seen this amazing behaviour for the first time and somewhat puzzling to me until I read Tim Welling’s narrative (www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/54682384374/in/dateposted/). Tim so well described this unique behaviour of Moorhen when more than one generation lives together and helps each other – thanks Tim!
The scientific name translates as a ‘little hen’ with ‘green foot’ derived from the Latin species name ‘Gallinula’ and from the Greek specific epithet name ‘chloropus’, respectively.

Inspired by "Petite Angèle" by Monsieur Balavoine...<3
and probably ... hum ...
"Faut vraiment que je dise à Angèle
Qu'ici c'est la révolution
Que tous les mômes foutent en l'air les poubelles
De la région
Qu'elle prenne sa bécane qu'elle sorte de chez elle
Qu'elle laisse tomber son feuill'ton
Pour me donner sur ces jeux rebelles
Une explication
Oh
Mais Angèle
Oh
Angèle me dit qu'il faut que je comprenne
Qu'ils ont forcément leurs raisons
Ils veulent savoir vers quoi on les entraîne
Et qui ils sont
C'est normal que ça leur pose un problème
Vu que PERSONNE ne leur répond
Angèle me dit qu'il faut que je comprenne
Leur réaction
Oh
Mais Angèle
Oh
{...}
Oh
Ma petite Angèle
Oh
C'est une gamine qui n'a que la quinzaine
Laisse exploser ses émotions
Par son goût de la révolte sans haine
Et ses passions
La jeunesse est une douleur si ancienne
En manque de compréhension
Qu'on devrait tous avoir pour Angèle de l'adoration
Reviens mon Angèle
Oh
{...}
Oh, oh, oh, Angèle
La, la, la,
La, la,la,
Oh, oh, oh"

CANAAN VALLEY - WEST VIRGINIA
Over the past thirteen plus years, the wife and I pay a biennial visit to Dolly Sods and the nearby Canaan Valley State Park to hike and enjoy the scenery. Along the short Blackwater River Trail, we have observed this same beaver dam throughout our visits. West Virginia does not allow hunting or trapping within the boundaries of its state parks and I wonder, how many multi-generational beaver families have been able to maintain this dam?
“Like branches on a tree, we grow in different directions but our roots remain the same.” - Unknown. This road trip we took was mainly a chance to reconnect with family. We saw our daughters and their families but I also had a brief visit with my siblings. Staying connected as family is often challenging when distances keep us apart. We had lots of grey rainy days so I went with the B&W version of this tree. I think it may be a cluster of trees that look like one grand tree. The branches seem in sync with each other. It was growing along the south shores of the St. Lawrence River. Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday.

"People try to put us d-down (talkin' 'bout my generation)... Just because we get around (talkin' 'bout my generation)... Things they do look awful c-c-cold (talkin' 'bout my generation)... I hope I die before I get old (talkin' 'bout my generation)... This is MY GENERATION... This is my generation, baby..."
I was just getting in my Van after a pleasant walk and saw this man, child and dog walking up the hill past the village pond. For once I was quick on the trigger ;-)
A few generations of Chevys gathered together for a brief discussion this Thursday !
Happy Truck Thursday
On a remote hill top a couple of children ( prob bro/sister about 10-11 year olds) came to watch the sunrise & take photos. They were all alone & there was no one else there, they walked ages to get there , I don't know who they were but it was good to see this next generation so keen on photography & nature !.

With 10,192 ft. Spanish Fork Peak in the background, a westbound Rio Grande merchandise train rolls into Springville, Utah the evening of May 17, 1976. The power consist includes GP30, GP40, GP35, SD45, and SD40T-2 models, the backbone of D&RGW's fleet of turbocharged EMD locomotives.
This view of the Indiana Northeastern running a NS unit grain train east to Montpelier shows off three different generations of EMD cab design. The leader, 1601, a 1952 built GP7 has EMD's original rounded cab roof while the 3rd out GP30 2185 has the distinctive cab unique to that model. Second out is 3125, original built as a SP SD45 with the cab profile that reigned supreme through the remainder of the "standard cab" era. This angle compares the three well.

The first electricity-generating wind turbine was a battery charging machine installed in July 1887 by Scottish academic James Blyth to light his holiday home in Marykirk, Scotland. Some months later American inventor Charles F. Brush was able to build the first automatically operated wind turbine after consulting local University professors and colleagues Jacob S. Gibbs and Brinsley Coleberd and successfully getting the blueprints peer-reviewed for electricity production in Cleveland, Ohio. Although Blyth's turbine was considered uneconomical in the United Kingdom, electricity generation by wind turbines was more cost effective in countries with widely scattered populations
