Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun, and the rotation of the Earth. Tide tables can be used for any given locale to find the predicted times and amplitude (or "tidal range"). The predictions are influenced by many factors including the alignment of the Sun and Moon, the phase and amplitude of the tide (pattern of tides in the deep ocean), the amphidromic systems of the oceans, and the shape of the coastline and near-shore bathymetry (see Timing). They are however only predictions, the actual time and height of the tide is affected by wind and atmospheric pressure. Many shorelines experience semi-diurnal tides—two nearly equal high and low tides each day. Other locations have a diurnal tide—one high and low tide each day. A "mixed tide"—two uneven magnitude tides a day—is a third regular category. WIKIPEDIA

In effetti c'erano tre o quattro poliziotti che controllavano il mercatino dell'Antiquariato. Ma in zone assolutamente tranquille. Sul lungomare, verso sera, dove si affollavano pericolosamente le persone nei bar, non si vedeva nessuno....

Albizia julibrissin. The species is usually called "pink silk tree" or "mimosa" in the United States, which is misleading - the former name can refer to any species of Albizia which is most common in any one locale. The genus is named after the Italian nobleman Filippo degli Albizzi, who introduced it to Europe in the mid-18th century
Je vois déjà des sourires illuminer les visages de certains ou l'horreur déformer les visages des puristes. Alors soyons clairs, l'appellation peut choquer certains mais le fromage est excellent ! On trouve aussi du brie et un bleu qui n'a rien à envier à notre bleu de Bresse !
A picture I shot when life wasn't as crazy. This area in Portland features buildings of an earlier time. Portland is known for their love of a good book. Powell's Books is a well-known dealer for book addicts. But only Cameron's Books & Magazines gets to boast the title of oldest bookstore in town. Established in 1938.

Walking for exercise during lockdown, camera in hand, capturing passing movements.
A modicum of colour, deliberately muted, on today's walk that required a face-full-of-dirt prone position - but not for long.
No lingering allowed they say, which begs the question, just how long is a linger?
Happy to find some bluebells in the near vicinity albeit a skinny patch.

Hola amigos : hoy os quiero comentar algo más que se celebra en estas fiestas de Getafe. Aunque son en honor de Nuestra Patrona, La Virgen de los Angeles, no solo se realizan actos de la Iglesia. Hay mas cosas que ahora os cuento.
En el recinto ferial, hay toda clase de cachivaches para los mas peques, la noria, los caballitos, el tren de la bruja, y un sin fin de cosas, que ya ni me acuerdo. Asi como muchas casetas, con rifas, el famoso azúcar tostado, y otras donde degustar un vino dulce muy rico, y otras donde poder sentarse a cenar.
Fuera del recinto ferial hay de todo, todos los diass.:
Pasacalles, gigantes y cabezudos, gran desfile de carrozas, muchos conciertos, ofrecidos, por orquestas, y bandas de musica de aqui, y de fuera, cantantes, como, Nena Daconte, Edurne, y Soleá Morente entre otros.
Sibre todo mucha musica, tanto en el centro como en los distintos barrios.
No os he dicho que también tememos noches de fuegos artificiales, y ayer precisamente fue una de ellas, pero esta es distinta de las demás, y atrae a mucho público.
Se trata de un espectàculo piromusical,con,cohetes, luces de colores, agua y música amenizado con la música de la Banda Municipal de Getafe y se realiza en el Lago del Sectdor-3 , en mi barrio, y es un concierto muy bonito.
Concursos, eventos deportivos y hasta nuestra propia falla, cada año se planta una, y va dedicada a algo o alguien que se ha distinguido o celebrado algo en este año.
La del 2002,realizada por el artista fallero Antonio Sanchez, con la temática 100 años de la Base Aérea en Gerafe.
Me dejo todavía muchas cosas, pero no quiero resultar pesada, creo que mas o menos os he hecho un resumen de las Fiestas de mi pueblo y espero haya sido de vuestro agrado.

La Avenida de los Baobabs o Callejón de los Baobabs, es un grupo notable de baobabs de la especie Adansonia grandidieri que bordean un camino de tierra entre Morondava y Belon'i Tsiribihina en la región de Menabe, al oeste de Madagascar. Su sorprendente paisaje atrae a viajeros de todo el mundo, lo que lo convierte en uno de los lugares más visitados de la región. Ha sido un centro de esfuerzos locales de conservación. En julio de 2007, el Ministerio de Medio Ambiente, Agua y Bosques le otorgó el estado de protección temporal, un paso para convertirlo en el primer monumento natural de Madagascar.
Numerosos baobabs se encuentran dentro del área protegida que abarca 3, 2 km² entre las poblaciones de Morondava y Belo sur Tsiribinha, pero solo un tramo de 250 m se conoce como la Avenida de los Baobabs. Un grupo de 20 a 25 Adansonia grandidieri, especie endémica de Madagascar, con una altura de aproximadamente 30 m y algunos más de 800 años. La zona es el último vestigio del bosque seco que cubría Madagascar occidental, junto a dos humedales protegidos por el Ramsar, hogar de diferentes especies de fauna.

The Avenue of the Baobabs, or Alley of the Baobabs, is a prominent group of Grandidier's baobabs (Adansonia grandidieri) lining the unpaved Road No.8 between Morondava and Belon'i Tsiribihina in the Menabe region of western Madagascar. Its striking landscape draws travelers from around the world, making it one of the most visited locations in the region. It has been a center of local conservation efforts, and was granted temporary protected status in July 2007 by the Ministry of Environment, Water and e Forestry – a step toward making it Madagascar's first natural monument.
Along a 260 m (850 ft) stretch of the road is a grove of 20–25 Adansonia grandidieri baobabs. An additional 25 or so trees of this species are found growing over nearby rice paddies and meadows within 9.9 acres (4 ha) of land. The trees, which are endemic to Madagascar, are about 30 m (98 ft) in height.
The baobab trees, known locally as renala or reniala (from Malagasy reny ala "mother of the forest") are a legacy of the dense tropical forests that once thrived on Madagascar. The trees did not originally tower in isolation over the sere landscape of scrub, but stood in dense forest. Over the years, as the country's population grew, the forests were cleared for agriculture, leaving only the baobab trees, which the locals preserved as much for their own sake as for their value as a food source and building material.

✼ Retour au milieu du paradis éphémère là où le soleil venait faire briller de mille feu les parois rocheuses.
✼ Loin de me retrouver seul à venir découvrir cette fabuleuse caverne, certains locaux y viennent rituellement. Dans la bonne ambiance, chacun s'émerveille devant toutes ces couleurs..
