Suspended
"There are improbable things suspended in space, like the earth." Meryl Streep
It doesn't hurt to be "suspended" sometimes...it doesn´t heart to stop and take a deep breath...especialy when you get to witness, in first hand, such a beautiful sunrise that reminds you that every day is a new opportunity waiting to be grabed with all our heart and soul...
Hope you all like it..
I thank you for every like and comment.

Never let the world
dull your shine.
Be the impossible,
the improbable,
the unique,
the spark that
ignites a fire that has died;
the one among many,
the rebel,
the rouser,
that awakens all
that must come to life.

A small lake rather improbably located at the edge of the Donegal cliffs, towering above the Atlantic Ocean.
Vue du ciel, sur un rond-point africain, cette scène paraît presque irréelle, qui ressemble à un ballet urbain figé sur ces routes sans marquage. L’Afrique a ce talent unique de mêler le chaos et la poésie, même dans les accidents.
"It's improbable, isn't it, how a building -a solid thing that won't fall over if pushed- can fail too, but it does". (Estates, Lynsey Hanley).
Improbable, to say the least.........if we didn't already know Venice existed, had never seen pictures, never read "Death in Venice", knew nothing of the history of the people fleeing the barbarian invasions of the 5th & 6th C. A city in a lagoon, made up of 118 islands, 150 canals & 410 bridges! A city with no roads, no wheeled vehicles, not even sidewalks on vast sections of both the grand canal & the small inner-city canals. Open the door......and only water. It would be far-fetched to even imagine it. But there it is. It exists. Sad to say, it's been taken over by tourism. Only 61,500 permanent residents remain in the city of Venice. And decreasing at a rate of 1,000 a year. Another 200,000+ live on the mainland . Many commute to the islands daily, a great many of them working in the service industry. There's a train station. They flood in in the morning, they ebb out at night. The tourists are legion. But it is possible to find the quiet still Venice of the locals. They live in a fascinating maze of backstreets & alleys & small district squares. And they step from one tiny island to the next by small arched stone bridges over narrow winding canals. An ancient world it is. A mystical inner waterworld that is both a joy and an education to discover and explore.

In perhaps the most amazing and improbable "500" finish ever was in 2011 when newcomer J. R. Hildebrand apparently had the race won only to slide into the outer wall while lapping a slower car at the exit of the final turn of the entire race. He limped home to finish 2nd, passed just yards from the line by 2005 winner Dan Wheldon, the 18th driver to have won for a second time.
In the hunt all day, Wheldon was the first winner in history to have led only the final lap. With several of the leaders pitting for fuel in the closing minutes, 6th-place-starting Wheldon climbed from 5th with three laps remaining, to 3rd with two still to go. The winning Dallara/Honda was fielded by a partnership involving former drivers Bryan Herta and Sam Schmidt, plus Cary Agajanian and former California Lt. Governor Mike Curb, the car being numbered 98 in memorv Cary's father, the late J. C. Agajanian, winning owner in 1952 and 1963 with Troy Ruttman and Parnelli Jones.
Sadly, the very popular and enthusiastic Wheldon was to lose his life in a racing accident at the end of the season 2011 IZOD IndyCar World Championship race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on 16 October.
Marcus Simmons, a writer for the British motor racing magazine Autosport, called Wheldon "one of a golden crop of richly-talented British drivers to graduate from karting to junior single-seaters in the mid to late-1990s", and, "a man who embodied the ideal of the immigrant to the 'New World' fulfilling the American Dream." Although he had a brash and confident persona that made him "cocky yet likable", journalist Maurice Hamilton noted that Wheldon was seen by many as "a devoted family man, deeply respected and universally liked despite, or perhaps because of, a cheeky sense of self-awareness and a clever cultivation of his image".
Dario Franchitti won the 2012 Indianapolis 500 and dedicated his victory to Wheldon and wore white sunglasses in his honor.
An aptly named and wildly improbable pterosaur. Pterosaurs are extinct reptiles that form a sister group to the dinosaurs, and Q. northropi is the largest flying animal ever to have lived. Fossils are known from the Late Cretaceous (68 million years ago) in Texas and Montana. The name honors the Aztec serpent god, Quetzalcōātl, and Jack Northrop, designer of tailless 'flying wing' aircraft.

The Fannie Stebbins Memorial Wildlife Refuge
Situated in one of the more improbable locations just south of Springfield, Massachusetts, along the meandering Connecticut River is the Fannie Stebbins Memorial Wildlife Refuge. Covering over 330 acres of pristine floodplain between the river and Interstate 91, this jewel of western Massachusetts provides the perfect habitat for a wide variety of local animal and plant species. The refuge abuts conservation land owned by the Town of Longmeadow and combined creates an area of over 1,100 acres of floodplain forest, ponds, marshes, and meadows. It makes for one of the best hiking and birding locations in the greater Springfield area.
Known locally as the Longmeadow Flats, or simply as the Meadows, the Refuge has a number of trails for hikers and bird enthusiasts. Established back in 1951 and managed by the Allen Bird Club of Springfield, the refuge has recently come under the protective umbrella of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Specifically, the land is now a part of the Silvio Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge, which manages over 7 million acres of Connecticut River watershed land in Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, and Massachusetts.

Le voyage à Nantes 2013
Place du Bouffay
Follow the leaders
Isaac Cordal
En écho à son exposition au Temple du Goût, Isaac Cordal s’approprie la place du Bouffay. Mises en scènes dans la réalité de la ville, ses sculptures composent une armée de figures solitaires et mélancoliques évoluant au sein d’un univers bétonné dans lequel une touffe d’herbe ou une flaque d’eau deviennent les fragiles fragments du monde naturel.
Sur cette place du Bouffay au caractère minéral, au sein d’un quartier faisant l’objet d’une rénovation urbaine, Isaac Cordal choisit d’implanter une île de gravats issus de bâtiments détruits dans d’autres endroits de la métropole.
Des centaines de sculptures de l’artiste évoluent dans cette ruine contemporaine, témoins du caractère éphémère des constructions humaines. L’installation impressionne autant qu’elle incite à la déambulation, à la recherche du détail, au parcours méditatif.

Ferguson Cabin, constructed about 150 years ago. Purchase Knob area of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. NC.
Plans were to photograph the Perseid meteor shower with the cabin in the foreground. I knew there were several solar outbursts in recent days but didn't expect to see aurora this far south (I even looked at the aurora forecast that morning). So this was a most welcome surprise! This would not have been my first choice in locations had I known, but having both clear skies that evening and an aurora making a brief appearance during the peak of the Perseid meteor shower are pretty improbable odds!
En début de matinée, goupil a traversé l'étang au beau milieu des canards.
Un grand merci à Sylvain Crassous qui me l'a signalé.
