Le besoin d'isolement doit également être observé de près. Les témoignages recueillis pour ce livre ou sur mon blog l'ont exprimé : beaucoup de surdoués disent qu'(ils ont absolument besoin d'être en dyssynchronie avec le reste du groupe, surtout quand celui-ci est important. Le bombardement sensoriel est alors intense et l'adulte surdoué sature très vite. bruits, lumières, odeurs, mouvements, conversations - et même l'ambiance qui se dégage du groupe - sont autant d'informations captées massivement en un minimum de temps, qui épuisent. Le moyen le plus simple de se reposer est alors de "décrocher", de se replier sur soi, d'être là sans y être, en s'abîmant dans ses pensées pour se couper du monde extérieur.

This shot is taken in JPEG (NOT in RAW), thus very minimum editing made. Essentially, what you see here is what was there. It is one of my works for an Nat Geo Assignment from a Nat Geo producer. The assignment prompted me to explore area less visited by people, injecting something new in the photography community.
Disney just shut down a wonderful photography community, Nat Go Your Shot (Nat Geo YS), forcing me, a Your Shot photographer to migrate my works from Nat Geo YS to flickr and/or instgram. Your Shot is a place to be missed. Other than socially connecting people, YS inspires and encourages every photographer.
As always thanks in advance for your faves and/or comment..
The one and only Northern Pintail duck was actually floating and paddling on a minimum of water, with a layer of ice located a bit below. I thought the water took on a ‘cool’ and interesting look with the ice shining through in a minimum of sunshine.
For #FlickrFriday theme of #Minimum
Have a nice day! :-)
Many thanks for the visits, faves and comments. Cheers
Buff-banded Rail
Scientific Name: Gallirallus philippensis
Description: The Buff-banded Rail is a medium-sized stout rail with short legs. It has a distinctive grey eyebrow and an orange-brown band on its streaked breast. The lores, cheek and hindneck are rich chestnut. The chin and throat are grey, the upperparts streaked brown and the underparts barred black and white. The eye is red. Young birds are much paler to white underneath, with indistinct bars and only a faint orange-brown tint on the breast. Downy chicks are fluffy black. This rail walks slowly, with tail raised and flicking constantly.
Similar species: The orange-brown breast band distinguishes the Buff-banded Rail from the similar but smaller Lewin's Rail,Dryolimnas pectoralis, which has a rich chestnut crown and nape and a proportionally longer pink bill.
Distribution: The Buff-banded Rail is widespread in mainland Australia, particularly along the eastern coast and islands, and on Norfolk and Lord Howe Islands. It is also found in south-east Asia, New Guinea and New Zealand.
Habitat: The Buff-banded Rail is seen singly or in pairs in dense reeds and vegetation bordering many types of wetlands or crops. It makes widespread use of artificial wetlands like sewage ponds and drainage channels.
Seasonal movements: The Buff-banded Rail is resident and possibly locally nomadic, though little is known of these movements.
Feeding: The Buff-banded Rail feeds on crustaceans, molluscs, insects, seeds, fruit, frogs, carrion and refuse. It mostly feeds early in the morning and the evening.
Breeding: Breeding is poorly known, but the Buff-breasted Rail nests in long grass, tussocks, rushes or crops. It makes an unlined cup-shaped nest of grasses or reeds. Both parents incubate and the young will leave the nest within 24 hours. Both parents remain with the young, which usually feed themselves, though the female may feed them as well. Two broods may be raised in some seasons.
Calls: Loud creaky squeak when breeding but usually silent.
Minimum Size: 28cm
Maximum Size: 33cm
Average size: 31cm
Average weight: 130g
Breeding season: September to February
Clutch Size: 5 to 8 eggs
Incubation: 19 days

A South Island robin with what is possibly a beetle larva. These birds are not shy and I had to wait for it to move away from me to the minimum focus distance. But you get more detail at least. Seen on a walk around our eco-sanctuary where rats and stoats are excluded and birds flourish in "Pre-human" conditions.
I was fascinated to observe the patterns on the underside of this little succulent leaf. I’d never noticed them before. The wonders of a macro lens!

Favoring more high-profile raptors, I generally don't pursue passerines, . I have nothing against these tiny songbirds, but being so small and flighty, I just don't have the patience to try and get decent shots. I will definitely take shots if the opportunity presents itself...such as this situation. I was waiting for Kites and Harriers and this one landed in the Coyote brush just within my minimum focus range. Maybe when I retire I'll spent more time working on a perfect Ruby-crowned Kinglet shot ;-)
Anyone have an 800mm I can borrow?
There are some incredible temples in Ayutthaya that you won't see on a day trip. A night or two minimum is recommended here.
This is for my Flickr friends who rarely or never get to see snow where they live. We are under a winter storm watch as I type this. However, the earlier prediction of 5 to 8 inches has now been reduced to 3 to 5 inches. I'll be happy with the minimum. Still, I must say I totally enjoyed watching this little red squirrel this morning as it busily tunneled under the snow and then suddenly came popping up to look around (and maybe catch its breath!)
Elantxobe, Vizcaya, País Vasco, España.
Elantxobe es un municipio español situado en la costa nordeste de la provincia de Vizcaya, a 50 km de Bilbao, en la comunidad autónoma del País Vasco.
Elantxobe se sitúa en la ladera este de la mole rocosa del cabo Ogoño, que protege el puerto pesquero, pero cuya enorme inclinación conforma una cascada de calles estrechas y empinadas en las que las casas parecen formar una escalera de tejados que llega hasta la misma orilla del mar. Esta disposición obliga a que el pueblo tenga dos accesos totalmente separados, uno por abajo hacia el puerto y otro hacia la parte alta, donde una mínima anchura plana es lo único que puede considerarse una plaza, con un magnífico mirador y una sorprendente plataforma giratoria que deben utilizar los vehículos de mayor tamaño para poder girar y salir del pueblo.
La villa surge en 1524 con el puerto pesquero, tomando cierta importancia en el siglo XVII como puerto defensivo de la costa vizcaína, que en la actualidad tiene uso como puerto deportivo. Hasta 1858 fue un barrio del vecino municipio de Ibarrangelu. Celebra su fiesta patronal el 6 de diciembre, día de San Nicolás de Bari.
En el siglo XIX la industria pesquera de Elantxobe vive un momento de auge, llegando a albergar siete fábricas de escabeche y una de conservas, entre ellas Conservas Garavilla (Isabel) y conservas Serrats.
Este momento quedó reflejado en la construcción de la Iglesia de San Nicolás de Bari, fruto de las donaciones de los pescadores.
Elantxobe is a Spanish municipality located on the northeast coast of the province of Vizcaya, 50 km from Bilbao, in the autonomous community of the Basque Country.
Elantxobe is located on the eastern slope of the rocky mass of Cabo Ogoño, which protects the fishing port, but whose enormous slope forms a cascade of narrow and steep streets in which the houses seem to form a staircase of roofs that reaches the very shore. from sea. This layout forces the town to have two completely separate entrances, one from below towards the port and the other towards the upper part, where a minimum flat width is the only thing that can be considered a square, with a magnificent viewpoint and an amazing revolving platform that they must use the larger vehicles to be able to turn and leave town.
The town emerged in 1524 with the fishing port, gaining some importance in the 17th century as a defensive port on the Biscayan coast, which is currently used as a marina. Until 1858 it was a neighborhood of the neighboring municipality of Ibarrangelu. It celebrates its patronal festival on December 6, the day of San Nicolás de Bari.
In the 19th century, Elantxobe's fishing industry experienced a boom, coming to house seven pickle factories and one canning factory, including Conservas Garavilla (Isabel) and Conservas Serrats.
This moment was reflected in the construction of the Church of San Nicolás de Bari, the result of donations from fishermen.
At the Guggenheim "Gego: Measuring Infinity" The artist Gego (Gertrud Goldschmidt, she fled Nazi Germany in 1939 and immigrated to Venezuela where she continued to be active as an artist into the early 1990's.
While some of her work was interesting I felt it mostly got lost in the vast gallery space of the Guggenheim.

Former radio station Radio Kootwijk is a monumental building with a special history, in which connection is central. The building is architecturally unique, in its special Art Deco style.
Architect Julius Luthmann was commissioned in 1920 to build a hall for the large dynamo of long-wave radio transmission equipment. The desolate sand drift near Apeldoorn lent itself well to an interference-free transmitter. Luthmann was not allowed to use wood and iron, so it was made entirely of concrete. In the rich Netherlands of those days, no more or less was looked at. The design has been worked out to perfection and finished in Art Deco down to the last detail.
History:
At the start of the twentieth century, the Netherlands was a trading nation with extensive overseas territories. Its interests were served by a quick connection to the colonies, especially the Dutch East Indies. Direct communication took place by way of electric telegrams, which required cable connections. Prior to this, the Netherlands was dependent on England and Germany. When the First World War broke out the disadvantages of this dependence increased. In 1918, the government decided to realise their own international communication network, independent of the neighbouring countries. After much political debate it was decided to build a long wave transmission station enabling permanent contact with the Dutch East Indies using radio telegraphs.
To establish the radio transmitting station they looked for an uninhabited, remote terrain so there would be minimum interference to the transmission traffic from the environment. The 450 hectare terrain was bought by the Dutch Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management from the Dutch National Forestry Commission.
About 150 labourers from Amsterdam levelled the terrain. The antenna terrain was constructed as a circular plain with a diameter of approximately 1200 metres, a ring of five 212 metre high masts around a central mast at the foot of the transmitter building. The radio transmission centre was officially put into operation in May 1923, initially for Morse telegraph traffic. The developments in radio technology advanced rapidly. After a few years it became apparent that the long wave connections were outdated and too expensive. They switched to a short wave frequency for a higher signalling rate, better connections, lower energy consumption and smaller equipment.
The station initially operated under the name Radio Assel, but also became known under the name Radio Hoog Buurlo. 'Kootwijk Radio' was the international call sign for radio traffic. Queen Emma brought about the first telephone connection in 1929 with the Dutch East Indies with the legendary words: “Hello Bandoeng Hello Bandoeng! Can you hear me?". The first conversations, which invariably concluded with the Dutch national anthem Wilhelmus, were free as it was still in an experimental phase. Subsequently, people had to pay considerable amounts for a phone call to family members overseas. The PTT (state enterprise for Post, Telegraphs and Telephony of the Netherlands) tried to interest the public in overseas phone calls through advertising. Cheap family phone calls, only on Saturdays with 30% discount off the normal rates cost f 21 in those days for a three minute call to Java, for example. In those days the average weekly salary was f 25.
