This little build grew out of the desire to try out SuperHardcoreDave's cool missile nose cone design.
It ended up being fairly realistic, which is unusual for me. It even has a NOTAR system and landing gear.

Mil Mi-24 Superhind Mk5 "Krokodil" Heavy Helicopter Gunship (Krokodil = Crocodile, Russian)
--------------------
An even more massive and destructive beast than the previous variant. A beast of a helicopter, it is equipped with engines twice as powerful as it's predecessor, enormous turboshaft engines used to turn the two contra-rotational rotors, and two more on the sides are used as backup, more power, and speed making this newer variant good even when fully loaded with people and munitions. Their exhaust is also used for the NOTAR system built into this huge bird.
It is equipped with new equipment ranging from imaging and sensors to radar and weapons. A new camera system is attached to the nose for more accurate gunning, along with eye tracking equipment so that the user can aim simply by pointing their eyes. The new, durable, gatling cannon is now equipped with more than four times the ammunition than it's predecessor.
It can still transport 10 people, not including the pilots, but it can do so at a speed more than two times faster than the previous variant due to it's new engines. It is now considered one of the fastest transport helicopters in the world, setting aside the fact that it can both transport and gunship at the same time.
It isn't that much of a stealthy helicopter, however, but it does feature a slightly reduced RCS. It features two wings with 4 pylons each, and 2 pylons on the bottom of the body. It's wings can give the helo around 15% of it's lift. The outermost pylons can only be equipped with air-to-air missiles, and it's underbody pylons only with either remote controlled autocannons or free-fall bombs. The 6 free pylons underneath the wings can be outfitted with rocket pods, guided missiles, autocannons, bombs, air-to-air missiles, sensor equipment, and more.
It is able to deliver long range missile strikes if a friendly unit in the area guides it (infantrymen can use their on-chest computers.)
As a latest addition, they are equipped with a powerful anti-missile laser equipped in the nose along with imaging suite and a detachable TLS built under the cockpit area aside from other weapon systems.

Au XVIe siècle, il existe à Montpeyroux une maison noble de faible étendue nommée les Marroux ou encore les Bourdeaux. Michel de Montaigne l’acquiert vers 1580 au nom de son jeune frère Bertrand pour employer une partie des 4 000 livres légués par son père. Bertrand, titré sieur de Matecoulon, du nom d’un fief situé à Bouliac près de Bordeaux, donne ce nom à la demeure.
En 1598, il agrandit le domaine en achetant le tènement de Lagarde pour 624 écus. Il fait reconstruire la maison noble détruite pendant les guerres de Religion et obtient de l’archevêque de Bordeaux l’autorisation de la fortifier. Ses descendants s’y succèdent pendant près de quatre siècles, jusqu’en 1970.
Des transformations importantes sont faites à la demeure au XVIIIe siècle et sous le Directoire, tout en gardant les quatre tours d’angle du XVIe siècle. La façade sur cour dessine un hémicycle au centre duquel un avant-corps contient un élégant escalier de pierre à rampe en fer forgé. La façade postérieure, ornée d’un péristyle à colonnes, donne sur une haute terrasse surplombant la vallée de la Lidoire face au château de Montaigne.
D’après un plan du XVIIIe siècle, il existe également un jardin, planté de deux allées d’arbres à la perpendiculaire. Aucune des fabriques que l’on voit aujourd’hui, sauf la fontaine Saint-Pey et son bassin situés alors à l’extérieur de ses limites, ne figurent sur ce plan. Un acte notarié de 1830 indique en outre « des jardins comprenant verger, bosquet, boulingrin, garenne, ruisseau et fontaine », sans citer les fabriques.
Le propriétaire, M. de Boudon-Lacombe, fait tracer le parc sous le Second Empire par le paysagiste Perdoux, de Bergerac, incluant les fabriques logiquement préexistantes, dont on ignore l’origine, l’âge et la signification. Celles-ci constitueraient un parcours d’initiation maçonnique, faisant de ce parc un des rares jardins philosophiques du XVIIIe siècle ou du XIXe siècle. De plus, le bassin de la fontaine aurait servi de piscine et un bâtiment de bain chauffé est construit à proximité.
The MD Helicopters MD Explorer is a light twin-engined utility helicopter designed and initially produced by the American rotorcraft specialist McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Systems.
On 18 December 1992, the maiden flight was conducted, initial certification for the type followed roughly two years later. The initial model, the MD 900, was joined by an improved successor, the MD 902, during the late 1990s. The Explorer is currently produced by MD Helicopters.
The helicopter is noted for having no tail rotor, using the NOTAR technology instead giving its tail a unique appearance and quieter sound profile then a more traditional tail rotor.
The Belgian Federal Police (Dutch: Federale Politie; French: Police Fédérale; German: Föderale Polizei) is the national police force of the Kingdom of Belgium. It carries out specialized and supra-local administrative and judicial police operations, and supports local police services when needed. Additionally, the Federal Police is responsible for patrolling and ensuring the safety of the country's highways. The Federal Police has approximately 12,300 officers and civilian personnel.
The Federal Police is commanded by General Commissioner (CG) Marc De Mesmaeker, who holds the rank of chief commissioner. He is in charge of the General Commissioner's Office, which comprises three general directorates: the General directorate of the administrative police (DGA), the General directorate of the judicial police (DGJ) and the General directorate of resources and information (DGR). Each general directorate is led by a general director (DG), who also holds the rank of chief commissioner.
The FP was created through merging units of the Belgian Gendarmerie and Local/Municipal police forces on January 1, 2001.
Desde que Constru Rail empezó a operar el trafico de bobinas de acero entre Trasona y Paiz Vasco, han sido muchos los intentos de ir a por el. En verano se hace aun más fácil por el tiempo ya que sale a una hora muy temprana, tras madrugar y coger varios cercanías, ya estaba en posición de ataque en Cecea, esperando al tan ansiado capotas, y a la hora de llegar más o menos se hace notar un motor Caterpillar al fondo, el cual anunciaba la entrada de las dos 1600 con dicho tren, con un personal muy majo en su interior.
------------------
Since Constru Rail began to operate the traffic of steel coils between Trasona and Paiz Vasco, there have been many attempts to go for it. In summer it becomes even easier because of the weather, since it leaves very early, after getting up early and taking several suburban trains, it was already in an attack position in Cecea, waiting for the long-awaited hoods, and when it arrived more or less Note a Caterpillar engine in the background, which announced the entry of the two 1600 with said train, with a very nice staff inside.
Kamov Ka-30 "Shark" Mk2 Medium Stealth Helo Gunship (Shark = Akula)
--------------------
Kamov's newest 6th generation helicopter design. A competitor to Mil Industries prototype 6th generation medium gunship.
Designed in 2025 and fielded in 2027, the Kamov Ka-30 is a medium stealth gunship employing a coaxial rotor system. It has a reduced RCS, invisibility illusion generators, infrared trace reducers, radar absorbent covering and stealthy engine exhaust ports.
It has a crew of two. It employs a single laser rotary autocannon and high energy TLS system under the nose controlled by the gunner. It also includes twin side mounted adjustable laser AP autocannons utilized by the pilots, and an internal slide out missiles bay loaded with unguided and guided missiles, and air-to-air missiles. It has a single hardpoint on each stub wing able to carry only a single devastating ShBM imported from the Turkish.
It is quite fast and is surprisingly maneuverable for a coaxial helicopter. It has a backup NOTAR system, which utilizes engine exhaust from the two side mounted TDDSAS-7 high powered stealth engines. It can fly near Mach 0.2 at full weapons load.
On it's sides are two missiles countermeasures suites, which fire a laser to destroy incoming hostile missiles. It is similar to the one used on UT tanks.
This helicopter now includes a new imaging and sensor system, making the gunner's and pilot's job much easier. The main rotary cannon, located under the nose, is pointed towards wherever the gunner is looking, greatly increasing this new series' efficiency.
It's new sensors and equipment allow it to mesh into the intel network, which is a system that creates a virtual map with feed from the frontlines, recon units, etc. It allows HUD-equipped units to view a minimap of the area with identified enemies on it. Each unit with a camera, including infantry equipped with the Enforcer suit, contributes to this intel network. This way, every unit in the military is essentially a recon unit. The helo is a powerful one, surveying a large area and identifying any visible enemies..
It is able to deliver long range missile strikes if a friendly unit in the area guides it (infantrymen can use their on-chest computers.)

HELENA CORTÉS GÓMEZ | PUBLICADO EL 07 DE ABRIL DE 2020
Para asistir a este plan no requiere salir de la casa. Si ha mirado para arriba se habrá dado cuenta de que la Luna está llegando a fase llena. Abril trae un fenómeno celeste que atrae las miradas de los lunáticos. Este martes el satélite natural de la Tierra se podrá ver más grande y brillante que lo habitual.
Para verlo tampoco necesitará instrumentos sofisticados. Solo salir a la ventana para divisar a esa colosal roca colgada del cielo reflejando un brillo intenso. Usando solo el ojo, será difícil notar cualquier diferencia de tamaño en la luna llena del 7-8 de abril de 2020. Pero sí se verá resplandeciente. Incluso el portal especializado Earth Sky asegura que los océanos de la Tierra sentirán un tirón extra.
A este fenómeno le llaman luna rosa en Norteamérica. Álvaro Cano, matemático y divulgador de astronomía cuenta que “lo de rosa viene por los antiguos nativos americanos, quienes la denominaban así por la primavera en Estados Unidos, cuando las flores flox, que tienen un característico color rosado y florecen durante esta estación”.
En 2020, esta luna llena de abril también presenta al satélite en su posición más cercana al planeta este año (y por lo tanto más grande). De acuerdo a Earth Sky esta luna llena coincide más estrechamente con el perigeo lunar (el punto más cercano de la luna a la Tierra en su obituario mensual) que cualquier otra luna llena del año 2020. ¿Notará que la luna es más grande de lo normal? Probablemente no dice Cano: “No la veremos rosa, ni tampoco más grande ya que nuestro ojo no es capaz de discernir este pequeño aumento”
HELENA CORTÉS GÓMEZ | PUBLISHED APRIL 07, 2020
To attend this plan does not require leaving the house. If you have looked up you will have noticed that the Moon is reaching full phase. April brings a celestial phenomenon that attracts the eyes of lunatics. This Tuesday the Earth's natural satellite will be seen larger and brighter than usual.
You don't need sophisticated instruments to see it either. Just go out the window to see that colossal rock hanging from the sky reflecting an intense shine. Using just the eye, it will be difficult to notice any size difference on the full moon of April 7-8, 2020. But it will look resplendent. Even the specialized portal Earth Sky ensures that Earth's oceans will feel an extra pull.
This phenomenon is called a pink moon in North America. Álvaro Cano, mathematician and popularizer of astronomy says that "the rose comes from the ancient Native Americans, who called it that because of spring in the United States, when the flox flowers, which have a characteristic pink color and bloom during this season."
In 2020, this April full moon also presents the satellite in its closest position to the planet this year (and therefore largest). According to Earth Sky, this full moon coincides more closely with the lunar perigee (the closest point of the moon to Earth in its monthly obituary) than any other full moon in 2020. Will you notice that the moon is larger than normal? Cano probably does not say: "We will not see it pink, nor larger since our eye is not able to discern this small increase"
Las heladas nocturnas propician imágenes como la presente cuando el sol templa y deshace la rosada (escarcha). El conjunto de musgo, líquenes y hierbas adyacentes mostraban este aspecto al notar el calorcillo solar.
Muchas gracias por sus visitas, comentarios y favoritos.
The nocturnal frosts favor images like this when the sun heats up and melts the frost. The adjacent assemblage of mosses, lichens, and grasses showed this appearance by noticing the solar heat.
Thank you very much for your visits, awards, comments and faves.

Oukaimeden
Marrocos
We started our visit to Morocco in the Atlas Mountains. We arrived in Oukaimeden around 6 p.m. and were somewhat disappointed by the scarcity of birds. We only saw Rock Sparrows, and since there wasn't much else, we started photographing them. Gradually, other species (which also occur in Portugal) began to appear, and suddenly something different caught our eye. We tried to approach and began to notice the reddish patch on the wing. Wow! A African crimson-winged finch, which we didn't expect to find easily. We encountered many more that day, but the next day we saw far fewer, and those we did see were even more skittish.
--------------------------------
Iniciamos a nossa visita a Marrocos pelo Atlas. Chegamos a Oukaimeden por volta das 6h da tarde e ficamos um pouco desiludidos com a escassez de aves. Só víamos pardais-franceses e, como não havia mais nada, começamos a fotografá-los. Aos poucos, foram surgindo outras espécies (que também ocorrem em Portugal) e, de repente, algo diferente apareceu. Tentamos aproximar-nos e começamos a notar a mancha avermelhada na asa. Uau! Um Asa-carmim-africano! Não o esperávamos encontrar facilmente. Encontramos muitos mais nesse dia, mas no dia seguinte vimos bem menos e os que vimos estavam ainda mais ariscos.

==================***==================
The Sala dei Notari is located on the north side of the building. Originally a hall for the popular assemblies of the free comune, it was also the seat of the court of the capitano del popolo. From 1582 it was the seat of the powerful guild of the Notari, from which it takes its name.
The vast room with vaults supported by eight arches is decorated with frescoes dating back to the last decade of the 13th century, attributed to the Maestro del Farneto [it] and to the Maestro Espressionista di Santa Chiara [it], both connected to the frescoes of the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi. They represent Aesop's Fables, legends, biblical stories and maxims. In 1860 the frescoes were heavily restored by Perugian artist Matteo Tassi, who added neo-Gothic and eclectic decorations throughout, and repainted the emblems of successive podestà and capitani del popolo in the city's government. Two emblems of the magistrates in office between 1293 and 1297, frescoed on the counter-facade of the hall, confirm the date of the building's construction. Along the perimeter is a line of seats, reconstructed in the 19th century based on the original 16th-century models. At the top, on the right wall was a passage connecting to the residence of the capitano del popolo.

Leganga - Arusha
Tanzânia
We just returned from about two weeks spent in Tanzania, and I have to say it was by far our worst trip ever. The country, the people, the landscapes, and the birdlife and wildlife in general warrant a return visit — but the guide we somewhat naively chose was an absolute disaster.
A presumptuous, egocentric, narcissistic, arrogant, Trump-supporting, climate-change-denying, constantly self-flattering individual who fancies himself a great photographer (he describes his own photos as "fucking good").
His photos are mediocre, some even out of focus, but for a birder just looking to document sightings, that’s normal, and I accepted it. If only he’d had the humility to simply show us the birds and let us handle the photography. Instead, every time we had a chance to photograph a bird, he’d lecture us on how we should do it—even scolding us for checking our shots on the camera. He never did that himself, using his Nikon D850 (what a waste) almost in point-and-shoot mode (his own words).
He kept insisting he was a photographer and knew all about the importance of light, but every single day, we saw it was pure theory—he had zero practical skills. He’d constantly forget and sulk when we pointed it out. Basically, if the background was blue sky, the light was good; if it was cloudy, the light was bad. That was the extent of his knowledge of light and photography.
On the very first day, his first attempt was taking us to a lake hoping to find an African Black Duck. Well, as our friend A. Guerra would say, ironically, when things go bad, at least we didn’t see it—because the photos would have been a complete disaster. The access to the lake was directly facing the sun, with glare all over the water. It would have been a huge frustration.
At the middle of day, with terrible strong light, he decided show us a colony of Taveta Weavers — only for our disappointment to deepen as they were entirely backlit. When we mentioned the lighting issue, he simply ignored us (something he’d do systematically for as long as we endured him). I had to push through thick vegetation and small water ditches to find a better angle, while he seemed annoyed at how long we took to get a decent shot.
(Another thing that bothered him was us not knowing a species’ name or mispronouncing it.)
But that was just the first day. The following days were a series of unpleasant situations, multiple arguments — the last one shouting — until we gave up on his services (already paid for) and had to scramble for an alternative. I’ll talk about that in future posts.
I won’t name him here, but if you send me a private message, I’ll tell you who he is — so my friends don’t make the same mistake we did.
The only partially positive thing I can say is that, with the help of local guides, he did find the hardest-to-spot species—even if it meant risking our lives, subjecting us to two hours of being thrown around in the vehicle while completely lost off any passable trail (even for a 4x4). Not to mention his dangerously reckless driving on main roads.
----------------------------------
Acabámos de regressar de cerca de duas semanas passadas na Tanzânia e, tenho de dizer, foi de longe a nossa pior viagem de sempre. O país, as pessoas, as paisagens e a avifauna e fauna em geral merecem claramente uma nova visita — mas o guia que escolhemos, de forma algo ingénua, foi um verdadeiro desastre.
Um indivíduo presunçoso, egocêntrico, narcisista, arrogante, Trumpista, negacionista das alterações climáticas, sempre a autoelogiar-se, que se julga um grande fotógrafo (descreve as próprias fotos como “fucking good”).
As fotos dele são medianas, algumas até desfocadas, mas para um observador de aves que só quer registar os avistamentos, isso é normal — e eu aceitava. Se ao menos tivesse tido a humildade de simplesmente nos mostrar as aves e deixar a fotografia connosco. Em vez disso, sempre que havia uma oportunidade para fotografar uma ave, fazia questão de nos dar uma lição sobre como o devíamos fazer — chegando mesmo a ralhar connosco por vermos as fotos no ecrã da câmara. Ele próprio nunca o fazia, usando a NIkon D850 (que desperdício) quase em modo point-and-shot (palavras dele).
Insistia constantemente que era fotógrafo e que percebia a importância da luz, mas todos os dias víamos que isso era só teoria — não tinha qualquer implementação prática. Esquecia-se de coisas básicas e ficava amuado quando lho fazíamos notar. Basicamente, se o fundo era céu azul, a luz era boa; se estava nublado, a luz era má. Esse era o nível do seu "conhecimento" sobre luz e fotografia.
Logo no primeiro dia, a primeira tentativa foi levar-nos a um lago à procura do pato-preto-africano. Bem, como diria o nosso amigo A. Guerra, ironicamente, quando as coisas correm mal, ao menos não o vimos — porque as fotos teriam sido um desastre completo. O acesso ao lago era de frente para o sol, com irritantes reflexos de luz sobre cada molécula de água. Teria sido uma frustração enorme.
A meio do dia, com uma luz fortíssima e péssima, decidiu levar-nos a uma colónia de Tecelões-de-cabeça-ruiva — apenas para a nossa desilusão aumentar ao vermos que estavam completamente contra a luz, já de si péssima devido à hora do dia. Quando mencionámos o problema da iluminação, simplesmente ignorou-nos (algo que passou a fazer sistematicamente enquanto o aturámos). Tive de abrir caminho por vegetação densa e atravessar pequenos regos de água para conseguir um ângulo melhor, enquanto ele parecia irritado com o tempo que demorávamos a conseguir uma fotografia decente.
(Outra coisa que o incomodava era não sabermos o nome de uma espécie ou pronunciá-lo mal.)
Mas isso foi só o primeiro dia. Os dias seguintes foram uma sucessão de situações desagradáveis, várias discussões — a última já aos gritos — até que desistimos dos seus serviços (já pagos) e tivemos de procurar uma alternativa à pressa. Falarei disso em publicações futuras.
Não o vou nomear aqui, mas se me enviarem uma mensagem privada, direi quem é — para que os meus amigos não cometam o mesmo erro que nós.
A única coisa parcialmente positiva que posso dizer é que, com a ajuda de guias locais, ele de facto encontrou as espécies mais difíceis de localizar — mesmo que isso implicasse pôr a nossa vida em risco, sujeitando-nos a duas horas aos solavancos num veículo completamente perdido fora de qualquer trilho transitável (mesmo para um 4x4). Sem falar da condução perigosamente imprudente nas estradas principais.

"To notice the beauty in things left behind, is to see the soul of the life it once lived." Heather Durren.
At the south of the remote Mani Peninsula, towards the southernmost part of the Peloponnese, lies the "ghost" village of Vathia. This Greek town was almost completely abandoned after World War II. Its characteristic tower-houses, built for defensive purposes during the 18th century to ward off invaders and rival clans, are a magnificent example of the traditional architecture of this part of Greece.
Since the 80s of the previous century, the Greek government began a recovery process in Vathia, and little by little some of its buildings have been converted into tourist accommodations. However, during our visit in March, we did not come across anyone. Although the restoration of some buildings was noticeable, others were still in a state of abandonment. However, Vathia's beauty has stood the test of time, and the soul of its past can still be admired in its remains.

"Notar la belleza en las cosas que quedan atrás, es ver el alma de la vida que una vez vivió". Heather Durren.
Al sur de la remota Península de Mani, hacia la parte más meridional del Peloponeso, se encuentra la aldea "fantasma" de Vathia. Esta localidad griega fue casi completamente abandonada tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Sus características casas-torre, construidas con funciones defensivas durante el siglo XVIII para protegerse de invasores y de clanes rivales, son un ejemplo magnífico de la arquitectura tradicional de esta parte de Grecia.
Desde los años 80 del siglo pasado, el gobierno griego inició un proceso de recuperación en Vathia, y poco a poco algunos de sus edificios han sido convertidos en alojamientos turísticos. Sin embargo, durante nuestra visita en marzo, no nos cruzamos con absolutamente nadie. Si bien se apreciaba la restauración de algunos edificios, otros estaban aún en estado de abandono. No obstante, la belleza de Vathia ha sobrevivido al paso del tiempo, y de sus restos se puede admirar aún el alma de su pasado.
Son tan chiquitos que no siempre es posible notar su presencia, igual le da un toque especial a la fotografía...
En cuanto las boiras (nieblas) lloronas se instalan en el oscense Valle del Cinca (y alrededores) en coincidencia con muy bajas temperaturas el relente se torna escarchado dándole al paisaje aspecto polar. No digamos ya la “tempera” que por debajo de 0º se deja notar en su gelidez.
De tales cencelladas conservo memorables recuerdos que con el sobrevenido frío invernal que aqueja estos días a buena parte del país me ha movido a recuperar algunas imágenes tomadas en su día por la zona de Monzón y poblaciones vecinas, adscritas en proximidad a las comarcas del Cinca Medio y parte del Somontano. En este caso las viñas de Monesma ofrecían el aspecto de la imagen. Muchísimo frío desde luego.
As soon as the weeping mists settle in the Cinca Valley (and surroundings) in Huesca, coinciding with very low temperatures, the humidity becomes frosty, giving the landscape a polar appearance. Let's not say the environment that below 0º is noticeable in its coolness.
Of such frosts I keep memorable memories that with the sudden winter cold that afflicts a good part of the country these days, has moved me to recover some images taken in their day in the Monzón area and neighboring towns, attached to the vicinity of the Cinca Medio regions and part of the Somontano. In this case, the Monesma vineyards offered the appearance of the image. Very cold of course.
Dès que les brumes pleurantes s'installent dans la vallée de Cinca (et ses environs), coïncidant avec des températures très basses, l'humidité devient glaciale, donnant au paysage un aspect polaire. Ne disons pas que l'environnement en dessous de 0º est perceptible dans sa fraîcheur.
De telles gelées je garde des souvenirs mémorables qu'avec le froid hivernal soudain qui afflige une bonne partie du pays ces jours-ci, m'a poussé à récupérer quelques images prises dans leur journée dans la région de Monzón et les villes voisines, attachées à la proximité des régions de Cinca Medio et une partie du Somontano. Dans ce cas, les vignobles de Monesma offraient l'apparence de l'image. Très froid bien sûr.
Italien / Südtirol - Mittelberg (Ritten)
Nicholas church
Nikolauskirche
Mittelberg (italienisch Monte di Mezzo) ist eine Ortschaft, die sich auf 1170 m Höhe befindet und der Südtiroler Gemeinde Ritten angehört. Eingegrenzt wird die auf dem Ritten gelegene Ortschaft vom westlich gelegenen Finsterbachgraben mit seinen Erdpyramiden und dem östlich gelegenen Köblbach. Seine Lage mit den Erdpyramiden im Vordergrund und der Südtiroler Bergwelt im Hintergrund bildet eine touristisch bekannte Kulisse am Ritten.
Geschichte
Die Örtlichkeit ist mit der Nennung eines Carlus de Mittelperch im Register des Bozner Notars Jakob Haas von 1242 ersturkundlich bezeugt.
Sehenswertes
Maria Saal (1185 m) ist eine Wallfahrtskirche aus dem 16. Jahrhundert und wurde 1719 vergrößert. Die Einrichtung kommt dem Stil um 1700 und später gleich. Ursprünglich soll das Gnadenbild in einem Schafstall gehangen haben und aufgrund des immer stärker werdenden Zustroms soll später eine Kirche errichtet worden sein. In der Kirche befindet sich ein Wandgemälde der Madonna mit dem Regenschirm.
Die Nikolauskirche (1131 m) mit ihrem roten Zwiebelturm ist ein hochmittelalterlicher Bau, der noch aus dem 12. Jahrhundert stammen dürfte. Im Jahr 1289 ist sie urkundlich als „ad Mitelperch … aput ecclesiam sancti Nicolai“ bezeugt. Im 14. Jahrhundert dürfte sie in die heutige Form gebracht worden sein.
Die Erdpyramiden im Finsterbach sind eine der beliebtesten Sehenswürdigkeiten am Ritten.

ZAZ - La Pluie (with lyrics)
La fotografía es mi hechicera, la gran prestidigitadora. Contiene esa fascinación especial tan del corazón, que permite recrear y "debutar en público", con una puesta en escena ejecutada con mimo y trabajada para transmitir impresiones, y llegar muy al interior.
Establecer esa unión entre una toma congelada e impulsar esas sensaciones que permiten notar la diferncia entre "aroma y sabor", me produce una tremenda recompensa.
Imaginad, ¿es un hamman, un baño de vapor, un banco de niebla, o es humo?
Steam baths, soap bubbles...
Photography is my sorceress, the great conjurer. It contains that special fascination so heart, that allows to recreate and "debut in public", with a staging executed with care and worked to convey impressions, and reach deep inside.
Establishing that union between a frozen shot and stimulate those sensations that allow to notice the difference between "aroma and flavor", I get a tremendous reward.
Imagine, is it a hamman, a steam bath, a fog bank, or is it smoke?
Bains de vapeur, bulles de savon ...
La photographie est ma sorcière, la grande prestidigitatrice. Il contient cette fascination particulière pour le cœur, qui permet de recréer et de "faire ses débuts en public", avec une mise en scène exécutée avec soin et conçue pour transmettre des impressions et aller au fond de soi.
Établissant cette union entre un coup congelé et stimulant ces sensations qui permettent de remarquer la différence entre "arôme et saveur", je reçois une énorme récompense.
Imaginez, est-ce un hammam, un bain de vapeur, une nappe de brouillard ou est-ce de la fumée?
Bagni di vapore, bolle di sapone ...
La fotografia è la mia maga, la grande stregone. Contiene quel fascino speciale così cuore, che permette di ricreare e "fare il debutto in pubblico", con una messa in scena eseguita con cura e lavorata per trasmettere impressioni e raggiungere il profondo.
Stabilendo quell'unione tra un colpo congelato e stimolando quelle sensazioni che permettono di notare la differenza tra "aroma e sapore", ottengo un'enorme ricompensa.
Immagina, è un hammam, un bagno di vapore, un banco di nebbia o fumo?

Peccato che era circa 80m e un piccolo burrone tra noi mi impedisce di provare , senza paura , approccio più stretto.
Observação de uma raposa muito ocupado procurando sua comida me notar.
Pena que foi de cerca de 80m e uma pequena ravina entre nós me impedindo de tentar, sem o susto , a abordagem mais apertado.

Velada de negro - ocelada dorus
Como sucede con gran parte de las mariposas su inquietud y desconfianza se deja notar en pleno día. La pequeña “dorus” no fue una excepción y hubo que seguirle los “bailes” sin descanso hasta el improvisado refugio entre la espesa vegetación.
Dusky heath.
As with most butterflies, their restlessness and mistrust are evident in broad daylight. The little “dorus” was no exception and the “dances” had to be followed without rest until the improvised refuge among the thick vegetation.
Fadet des garrigues .
Comme pour la plupart des papillons, leur agitation et leur méfiance sont évidentes en plein jour. Le petit «dorus» ne faisait pas exception et les «danses» devaient être suivies sans repos jusqu'au refuge improvisé parmi la végétation épaisse.
Es curioso como hace notar su presencia pues de inmediato se evidencia su típico zumbido el cual se asemeja al de un abejorro.
Once this shrub (cavendishia pubescens) blossom occurs, it is impossible that this small White-bellied Woodstar refuses to visit them, unfortunately it only occurs once a year and for a few weeks.

Encore un immeuble remarquable dans le centre de Metz. Celui-ci fut construit en 1855 durant le second empire français. Le maitre d'œuvre a été depuis l'origine l'ordre des notaires et est toujours l'actuel propriétaire. L'architecte est André Muel, un messin ayant déjà construit dans toute la ville. Même si je n'ai pas la confirmation, je pense qu'il a construit le très bel immeuble aux milles détails de la rue des Clercs, le maniérisme est assez similaires, le fer forgé semble venir du même artistes et les influences se ressemblent. En effet, de nouveau la pierre de Jaumont est finement sculptée et la porte est encadré par un vrai chef d'œuvre composé de fleurs, putti et feuilles d'acanthes dans un style se référent au néo-renaissance. Malgré toutes ces qualités, nos chers pigeons urbains ont décidé de placer leur nids au nez d'un putto, littéralement.

El famós i historic HMS Victory, el vaixell des d'on Nelson liderà la Royal Navy a la batalla de Trafalgar, preservat al museu naval de Portsmouth. Imperdible per qualsevol aficionat a la historia.
Malauradament els anys es fan notar, i és molt necessaria la present massiva restauració a la que el sotmeten, o s'esfondraria sota el seu propi pès. Penseu que fou dissenyat per una vida de 70 anys al mar, i ja en té uns 250, els darrers 100 en dic sec. Per tant estan assegurant l'estructura, treient tot el pes innecessari (incloent els canons, de 2 tn cada un!!) i aprofitant per repintar-lo.
ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Victory
===================================================
The gorgeous HMS Victory, the ship of Nelson in the battle of Trafalgar, currently preserved in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.
But 250 years are quite a lot for a wooden ship (that was built with an expected life of about 70 years at sea). It's slowly sinking on its own weight, so they are restoring it slowly. For example, all the guns (at 2 tn each) have been changed for plastic replicas. Also the paint is now much more realistic of early XIX Century.
Antes que nada, debo ser honesto y aclarar que esta es una foto tramposa, muy tramposa, porque antes de subirla me he dedicado a borrar todos los cables que se interpusieron entre la cámara y el tren. Bueno, más que de honestidad se trata de un ejercicio de realismo porque estoy seguro de que ibais a notar la manipulación ya que es muy evidente. Conocía este punto desde hace muchos años (y lo tengo a un paso de mi casa) pero siempre lo había despreciado por su inevitable maremagnum de cables, capaz de estresar al más flemático de los fotógrafos. Pero la circulación (realmente excepcional) del tren de PTG a cargo de la rutilante ALCO 1603, estaba claro que era la ocasión perfecta para poner en valor un punto desde el que se contempla también el que durante mucho tiempo (hasta la inauguración del Museo Guggenheim) fue el símbolo de Vizcaya: el Puente Colgante de Portugalete. Por cierto, para que esta emblemática construcción luciera como se merece, me he llegado a plantear la eliminación del edificio del Museo de la Industria, pero finalmente lo he descartado porque ya estaría bordeando el territorio del delirio.
First of all, I must be honest and clarify that this is a tricky photo, very tricky, because before uploading it I have dedicated myself to erasing all the cables that stood between the camera and the train. Well, more than honesty, it is an exercise in realism because I am sure you were going to notice the manipulation since it is very evident. I had known this point for many years (and I have it one step from my house) but I had always despised it for its inevitable maremagnum of cables, capable of stressing the most phlegmatic of photographers. But the (truly exceptional) circulation of the PTG train in charge of the glittering ALCO 1603, it was clear that it was the perfect occasion to highlight a point from which also can be seen the one that for a long time (until the inauguration of the Guggenheim Museum ) was the symbol of Vizcaya: the Hanging Bridge of Portugalete. By the way, in order for this emblematic construction to look as it deserves, I have come to consider the elimination of the Industry museum building , but finally I have discarded it because it would already be bordering the territory of delirium.
Ever since I built this helicopter, I've wanted to build another meshed-rotor helicopter. I also wanted to combine the two windscreen pieces I used, before someone else beat me to the punch.
I built this to accompany the Iron Mountain Legion Tank, that I posted recently. Like the tank, this is destined for a diorama I'm working on with a friend, for BrickFair. Unlike the tank, this is motorized. In fact, I ran the motor for most of these photos, to try for a bit of motion blur.
A reminder, don't forget to come check us out at BrickFair! We should have some awesome displays!
SN/NC: Hemerocallis Fulva, Asphodelaceae Family
The Tawny Daylily (Hemerocallis fulva) is a vigorous and recognizable perennial. Despite its common name, it is not a true lily and belongs to the Asphodelaceae family. Each striking, orange trumpet-shaped flower lasts for just a single day, but numerous buds provide a long-lasting summer display. This adaptable plant thrives in a variety of conditions and has naturalized widely. While its tubers and buds are edible, it is important to note that the plant is highly toxic to cats.
A Hemerocale-fulva (Hemerocallis fulva) é uma perene vigorosa e reconhecível. Apesar do nome comum, não é um lírio verdadeiro e pertence à família Asphodelaceae. Cada flor impressionante, em forma de trombeta laranja, dura apenas um dia, mas vários botões garantem uma exibição duradoura no verão. Esta planta adaptável prospera em várias condições e naturalizou-se amplamente. Embora os seus tubérculos e botões sejam comestíveis, é importante notar que a planta é altamente tóxica para gatos.
El Lirio de día fulvo (Hemerocallis fulva) es una planta perenne vigorosa y reconocible. A pesar de su nombre común, no es un lirio verdadero y pertenece a la familia Asphodelaceae. Cada llamativa flor naranja en forma de trompetas dura un solo día, pero numerosos capullos proporcionan una exhibición veraniega prolongada. Esta planta adaptable prospera en diversas condiciones y se ha naturalizado ampliamente. Aunque sus tubérculos y capullos son comestibles, es importante señalar que la planta es altamente tóxica para los gatos.
L'Emèrocale fulva (Hemerocallis fulva) è una perenne vigorosa e riconoscibile. Nonostante il suo nome comune, non è un vero giglio e appartiene alla famiglia delle Asphodelaceae. Ogni appariscente fiore arancione a forma di trombetta dura un solo giorno, ma numerose gemme assicurano una lunga esposizione estiva. Questa pianta adattabile prospera in varie condizioni e si è ampiamente naturalizzata. Sebbene i suoi tuberi e boccioli siano commestibili, è importante notare che la pianta è altamente tossica per i gatti.
L'Hémérocalle fauve (Hemerocallis fulva) est une plante vivace vigoureuse et reconnaissable. Malgré son nom commun, ce n'est pas un vrai lys et elle appartient à la famille des Asphodelacées. Chaque fleur orange saisissante en forme de trompette ne dure qu'une seule journée, mais de nombreux bourgeons offrent un spectacle estival durable. Cette plante adaptable prospère dans diverses conditions et s'est largement naturalisée. Bien que ses tubercules et ses bourgeons soient comestibles, il est important de noter que la plante est hautement toxique pour les chats.
De Bruine daglelie (Hemerocallis fulva) is een krachtige en herkenbare vaste plant. Ondanks zijn gebruikelijke naam is het geen echte lelie en behoort het tot de Asphodelaceae familie. Elke opvallende, oranje trompetvormige bloem bloeit slechts één dag, maar talrijke knoppen zorgen voor een langdurige zomerse vertoning. Deze aanpasbare plant gedijt in verschillende omstandigheden en heeft zich wijdverspreid genaturaliseerd. Hoewel de knollen en knoppen eetbaar zijn, is het belangrijk om te weten dat de plant zeer giftig is voor katten.
Die Gelbrote Taglilie (Hemerocallis fulva) ist eine robuste und wiedererkennbare Staude. Trotz ihres gebräuchlichen Namens ist sie keine echte Lilie und gehört zur Familie der Asphodelaceae. Jede auffällige, orangefarbene, trompetenförmige Blüte hält nur einen einzigen Tag, aber zahlreiche Knospen sorgen für eine langanhaltende Sommerpracht. Diese anpassungsfähige Pflanze gedeiht unter verschiedenen Bedingungen und hat sich weitläufig naturalisiert. Obwohl ihre Knollen und Knospen essbar sind, ist es wichtig zu wissen, dass die Pflanze für Katzen hochgiftig ist.
زنبقة النهار البُنّية (Hemerocallis fulva) هي نبات معمر قوي ومعرّف. على الرغم من اسمها الشائع، فهي ليست زنبقة حقيقية وتنتمي إلى الفصيلة الزنبقية الوهجية (Asphodelaceae). كل زهرة برتقالية مبهرجة على شكل بوق تدوم ليوم واحد فقط، لكن البراعم العديدة توفر عرضًا صيفيًا طويل الأمد. هذا النبات القابل للتكيف يزدهر في ظروف مختلفة وقد انتشر بشكل واسع في البرية. بينما يمكن أكل درناتها وبراعمها، من المهم ملاحظة أن النبات سام للغاية للقطط.
キスゲ (Hemerocallis fulva) は、繁殖力が強くよく知られた多年草です。一般的な名前に反して、本当のユリではなく、ススキノキ科（Asphodelaceae）に属します。目を引くオレンジ色のトランペット型の花は1日しかもちませんが、多数のつぼみが長く続く夏の景色を提供します。この適応力のある植物は様々な環境で繁茂し、広く帰化しています。塊茎とつぼみは食用できますが、猫にとっては猛毒であることに注意することが重要です。
萱草 (Hemerocallis fulva) 是一种生命力旺盛且辨识度很高的多年生植物。尽管俗名中有"百合"，它并非真正的百合，而是属于阿福花科。每一朵引人注目的橙色喇叭状花朵只绽放一天，但大量的花苞能提供持久的夏日花景。这种适应性强的植物在各种环境中都能茁壮成长，并已广泛归化。虽然其块茎和花苞可食用，但务必注意该植物对猫有剧毒。

Si una espina me hiere, me aparto de la espina... ¡pero no la aborrezco!
Cuando la mezquindad envidiosa en mí clava los dardos de su inquina,
esquívase en silencio mi planta, y se encamina hacia más puro ambiente de amor y caridad.
¿Rencores? ¡De qué sirven! ¡Qué logran los rencores? Ni restañan heridas, ni corrigen el mal.
Mi rosal tiene apenas tiempo para dar flores, y no prodiga savias en pinchos punzadores:
si pasa mi enemigo cerca de mi rosal, se llevará las rosas de más sutil esencia;
y si notare en ellas algún rojo vivaz, será el de aquella sangre que su malevolencia
de ayer vertió, al herirme con encono y violencia,
y que el rosal devuelve, ¡trocado en flor de paz!... (Amado Nervo)
This collage gathers the next pictures on this set. Please note a couple of things before making any judgement. First, the picture of the doves was shoot about 20 minutes earlier than the second picture. Second, take in count that the airplanes were moving, so what I did during the sequence was shoot one after another during one minute (aprox. the time they took to pass from west to east and head north). Please also note that one of the objects seems to be far away and in the forth shoot it looks very close compared with the second picture. Finally, and most important, I didn´t get to notice this objects until I was reviewing my pictures, deciding which ones to upload. Scary uh? Look at the original size and comment please.
=============================================================================
Este collage agrupa las fotos del siguiente Set. Antes de realizar cualquier jucio, hago notar dos hechos interesantes. El primero es que la fotografía de las palomas fue tomada aproximadamente 20 minutos previos a las segunda foto. Segundo, toma en cuenta que los aviones están en movimiento, por lo que, lo que hice durante este secuencia fue disparar una foto detrás de la otra durante aproximadamente un minuto (tiempo que más o menos les llevó recorrer de oeste a este y virar hacia el norte). Nota que en la cuarta toma el objeto se me muy frande comparado con la segunda, y que el tamaño de los aviones es el mismo. Por último, durante esta secuencia no noté el objeto, fue hasta que las estaba revisando las fotos para ver cuales subía que lo noté. Que miedo no? Puedes mirar las fotos de tamaño origina en el Set.
Todo en Calatañazor tiene sabor tradicional de remotas centurias y atestigua el paso de los siglos como si éstos lo hubieran hecho medrosos y de refilón, sin querer hacerse notar: calles empedradas con canto rodado, casas con desplomadas paredes de tapial de barro y paja o tosca mampostería de piedra, estructura y trabazón confiada a irregulares rollizos de enebro, puertas protegidas por postigos de media altura, cubiertas de teja sobre las que se alzan las genuinas chimeneas cónicas pinariegas. Wikipedia.
Everything in Calatañazor has a traditional flavor of remote centuries and testifies to the passing of the centuries as if they had made it dizzy and glancing, not wanting to be noticed: streets cobbled with boulder, houses with collapsed mud walls and straw or coarse walls stone masonry, structure and interlocking entrusted to irregular juniper logs, doors protected by half-height shutters, covered with tiles on which stand the genuine conical chimneys pinariegas.

Un corazón quiso saltar un pozo
confiado en la proeza de su sangre
y hoy se le escucha delirar de hambre
en el oscuro fondo de su gozo.
El corazón se ahogaba de ternura,
de ganas de vivir multiplicado
y hoy es un corazón tan mutilado
que ha conseguido morir de cordura.
Qué son, desangrado son, corazón.
Hablo de un corazón que se defiende
de su vieja y usada maquinaria,
hablo de un parto en una funeraria,
hablo de un corazón que no comprende.
Hablo de un corazón tan estrujado,
tan pequeñín, tan pobre, tan quién sabe
que en su torrente casi todo cabe
sea real o sea imaginado.
Qué son, desangrado son, corazón.
Al corazón le faltaba su oreja
y andaba distraído por la calle
estrangulando con pasión un talle
e incapaz de notar alguna queja.
El corazón de torpe primavera
hizo que le injertaran el oído
y tanta maldición oyó que ha ido
a que le den de nuevo su sordera.
Qué son, desangrado son, corazón.
Cada viaje significa cumplir con un sueño. En cada uno de ellos puedes notar la soledad, la grandeza de estar vivo y sentir todo aquello que observas, respiras y tocas, así cómo experimentar sensaciones de peligro, aventura y conocer gente y culturas maravillosas que generarán cambios interesantes en tu interior. Durante mis viajes, experimento todas estas sensaciones que de otro modo siquiera podría imaginar.
Each trip means fulfilling a dream. In each of them you can notice the loneliness, the greatness of being alive and feel everything that you observe, breathe and touch, as well as experience sensations of danger, adventure and meet wonderful people and cultures that will generate interesting changes within you. During my travels, I experience all these sensations that I could not even imagine otherwise.
Chaque voyage signifie réaliser un rêve. Dans chacune d’elles, vous remarquerez la solitude, la grandeur de la vie et ressentirez tout ce que vous observerez, respirerez et touchez, ainsi que des sensations de danger, d’aventure et de rencontres de personnes et de cultures merveilleuses qui engendreront d’intéressants changements en vous. Au cours de mes voyages, je ressens toutes ces sensations que je ne pouvais même pas imaginer autrement.
Ogni viaggio significa realizzare un sogno. In ognuno di essi puoi notare la solitudine, la grandezza di essere vivi e sentire tutto ciò che osservi, respira e tocchi, oltre a provare sensazioni di pericolo, avventura e incontrare persone e culture meravigliose che genereranno cambiamenti interessanti dentro di te. Durante i miei viaggi, provo tutte queste sensazioni che non potrei nemmeno immaginare altrimenti.

Girona viu el pitjor temporal en un mes de desembre dels últims 46 anys.
Les comarques de Girona han estat la zona de Catalunya on més s'han deixat notar els efectes del temporal.
La llevantada ha fet desaparèixer platges, com per exemple, la que hi ha davant de l'hostal Empúries, a l'Escala, o la platja Nova de Roses, que ja estava castigada pel darrer temporal.

The calm after the storm.
Girona has the worst time in a month of December of the last 46 years.
The counties of Girona have been the area of Catalonia where the effects of the weather have been most noticeable.
The flooding has led to the disappearance of beaches, such as the one in front of Hostal Empúries, L'Escala, or the Nova de Roses beach, which was already punished by the last weather.

The Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance
The Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance is a dedicated medical air service which first began operations in Lincolnshire inApril 1994.
Based at RAF Waddington, south of Lincoln, and unaffected by road congestion, country roads, heavy vehicles or road works the Helicopter can reach any destination in Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire in 19 minutes.
The Air Ambulance, first began operations in Lincolnshire in April 1994. The area of operation was extended to include Nottinghamshire in 1997.
The idea for an Air Ambulance was first suggested by a group of consultants at the Pilgrim Hospital in Boston in the late 1980's, to be used predominantly for the transfer of seriously ill and injured patients from Lincolnshire hospitals to regional specialist centres, reducing journey times and providing a far smoother form of transportation.
The Chief Executive of the Lincolnshire Ambulance and Health Transport Service NHS Trust recognised the benefits that an air ambulance could bring, not only for inter-hospital transfers, but also in providing a rapid response to accident victims in one of the largest rural counties in England. This rapid response, combined with swift and smooth transportation of casualties to appropriate treatment centres, could add extra value to the quality of care already delivered by ground resources.
The Ambulance Service drove the project forward in the early 1990's, with the support of local consultants, gradually turning the original concept into a working reality.
Prior to the launch of the aircraft, and spread over a period of two years, a number of important issues had to be addressed. A project team was first established, and this team then co-ordinated all further development, which included setting up a Charity, selecting an operating company, developing appropriate usage criteria, negotiating hospital landing sites, providing essential medical equipment and selecting and training a number of medical aircrew.
In England and Wales there are sixteen dedicated Air Ambulance operations flying a total of 22 helicopters and all are reliant upon charitable support. An Air Ambulance provides an important and sometimes vital additional patient care service for our most critically ill and injured patients.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The new MD 902 Explorer is a “ new generation” twin engined helicopter ideally suited to the Air Ambulance role.
MD Explorers are already flying with a number of Police Services throughout the UK, including joint Police and Ambulance operations in Wiltshire and Sussex.
The first Explorer in a dedicated medical role was launched in Kent early in 2000, with London HEMS opting for the same aircraft a few months later.
Late November 2000, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire and bordering areas saw the introduction of a MD 902 Explorer to replace the older Bolkow, which had been in operation since 1994.
The new aircraft will continue to be funded by the community through the Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance Trust. The respective Ambulance Services in Lincolnshire and the East Midlands will still exercise operational management, including tasking.
The MD Explorer has many advantages over other helicopters in terms of patient care. With a maximum speed of 154mph, a maximum range of 296 miles and endurance of nearly three hours, the aircraft will be able to operate much more effectively across the two counties.
A much bigger payload means that more weight can be carried without adversely affecting performance. This could include increased patient weight, extra medical equipment or additional personnel.
Whilst the powerful twin engines make for better performance, noise levels are lower than the Bolkow and the MD Explorer is regarded as the quietest twin-engined helicopter currently operating.
The cabin space in the aircraft is completely separate from the cockpit and is the largest in its class, providing better access to the patient in flight and more space for essential medical equipment. The large cabin area allows extra aircrew to be carried when required and two extra seats are available for medical staff or relatives.
The aircraft has a special tilt/slide stretcher and large sliding doors on each side thus enabling the aircrew to load and unload the patient more easily.
The Explorer has many important safety features including enhanced visibility, high set engines which greatly reduce any danger from exhaust and a main rotor that is set 9ft above the ground, well above head height.
Of special note is the unique NOTAR Anti-Torque system. There is no conventional tail rotor but air is blown through a long slot along the tail boom to stabilise the aircraft. With the NOTAR system a sliding circular cover near the end of the tail boom is opened and closed to adjust thrust.
Fue bajar del civia y ver por mi izquierda un gran bulto amarillo acercarse, me desplacé ligero hacia el final del andén para poder fotografiar la 335.031 de Ferrovial con un TECo de Continental Raíl procedente de Valencia.
Mal wieder ein Foto aus dem Hochsommer als wir in Trier bei der Mosel Ballon Fiesta waren.
Es ist das schönste und am best organisierten Ballontreffen in Deutschland.
Da wird den Besuchern viel geboten wie der Massenstart von gut 80 Ballonen.
Ich nutze die Wartezeit um zu knipsen. Im Flugfunk bekommt man genug Infos wohin die Ballone vom Wind getrieben werden..
Die Teamparty am Samstag Abend nach der Ballonfahrt und dem Nightglow ist schon legendär!
Ever since I built this helicopter, I've wanted to build another meshed-rotor helicopter. I also wanted to combine the two windscreen pieces I used, before someone else beat me to the punch.
I built this to accompany the Iron Mountain Legion Tank, that I posted recently. Like the tank, this is destined for a diorama I'm working on with a friend, for BrickFair. Unlike the tank, this is motorized. In fact, I ran the motor for most of these photos, to try for a bit of motion blur.
A reminder, don't forget to come check us out at BrickFair! We should have some awesome displays!
