What it is really , just a couple of cheesy bugs off for a bimble , I wonder how they decide and why they go in whatever direction they end up going .
One of the more accessible locations on the main Cuillin ridge, between Am Bàsteir and Sgùrr a Fionn Choire. This is looking down into Lota Corrie, with Sgùrr na h-Uamha beyond the dark crag at right and Blà Bheinn in the distance.

at the bustling place des lices in saint tropez, an older man sits on a bench, his posture slightly hunched as he watches the boule game unfold before him. there is a palpable distance between him and the others, not just physically, as he sits at the farthest edge of the bench, but also emotionally. the light filters through the trees, casting dappled shadows on the ground, adding a sense of quiet isolation to the scene. the game carries on with its lively interactions, yet he remains a silent observer, perhaps lost in his thoughts or memories.
I had never seen this ghost like webbing before, but I found it strangely beautiful. A search revealed that it is made by Bark Lice (common name) and serve as protection from the elements for their colonies. They do not harm the trees and are not even really lice, but beneficial insects.
If you zoom in, you can actually see the tiny insect colony inside the webbing!!

(Anche quest'anno, come ogni anno scolastico, c'è stata la leggendaria partita di calcio fra l'indirizzo Classico e l'indirizzo Scientifico del nostro Liceo...)
Nei giorni precedenti e soprattutto il giorno dello scontro, la scuola si spacca in due:
due colori, due gradinate, due tifoserie... striscioni, canzoni, fumogeni, facce dipinte come Mel Gibson in Braveheart...
... poi, qualche giorno dopo, tutto torna alla normalità: un solo liceo, amici come prima.

L'espai entre la muralla interior i la exterior de Carcassona s'anomena "les lices".
La ciutat medieval de Carcassona és sense cap mena de dubte un dels més impressionants nuclis medievals d'Europa, tot i que part d'aquesta espectacularitat és una reconstrucció amb certa fantasia de finals del s. XIX. Amb tot, la gran majoria de les fortificacions son originals d'entre els segles IV i XIV. El conjunt és part del Patrimoni Mundial de la UNESCO.

The fortified Occitan medieval city and castle of Carcassonne, now in southern France, it's one of the most spectacular locations in all Europe. In a hill above the Aude river, it is protected by two walls and inside it lays the castle. Part of it's charm was "created" in the reconstruction of the XIX Century, but anyway most of the fortifications are real, dating from late-roman and medieval times. It's part of UNESCO World Heritage, and several movies have been filmed there, like Les Visiteurs or Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.
