(Gyps fulvus)
The griffon vulture is a large bird of prey with a wingspan of 2.60 m and a weight of around 9 kg. The pair, formed for life, nests on cliffs. In the morning, as soon as updrafts allow them to fly with less effort, they set off in groups in search of food, covering distances of up to several hundred kilometers. They feed on the soft flesh on the carcasses of dead animals, mainly domestic ones, as wild ones are becoming increasingly rare.
Reintroduction programs halted their disappearance from almost all of Europe at the beginning of the 20th century. They come in large numbers to feeding areas in France and Spain.
Le vautour fauve est un grand rapace de 2m60 d'envergure pesant environ 9 Kg. Le couple, formé à vie, niche dans des falaises. Le matin, dès que des courants ascendants leurs permettent de voler avec un moindre effort, ils partent en groupe à la recherche de nourriture, parcourant jusqu'à plusieurs centaines de kilomètres. Ils se nourrissent de chairs molles sur les carcasses d'animaux morts, principalement domestiques car les sauvages sont de moins en moins nombreux.
Des programmes de réintroduction ont permis d'enrayer leur disparition de presque toute l'Europe au début du XXème siècle. Sur les aires de nourrissage organisées en France et en Espagne, ils viennent en grand nombre.
My ritual ,burning my numbers pyro shredding watching them get less and less untill theyre ash and blow away on a gust of wind .A gesture of defiance against bills !
But then they come again so you cant win just pay!
Arabic numerals are the ten numerical digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. These are by far the most commonly used symbols to write decimal numbers.The reason the digits are more commonly known as "Arabic numerals" in Europe and the Americas is that they were introduced to Europe in the tenth century by Arabic speakers of Spain and North Africa, who were then using the digits from Libya to Morocco. In the eastern part of Arabic Peninsula, Arabs were using the Eastern Arabic numerals or "Mashriki" numerals: ٠ ١ ٢ ٣ ٤ ٥ ٦ ٧ ٨ ٩[a]
A picture of a watch without anything else is at worst an image of someone else’s art and at best can be a showcase for the photographer’s expertise at exposure and composition. This image has more meaning to me than you may grasp at first glance so I’ll complete the story here. SPOILER ALERT: It’s a bit long so if you’d like to skip it ... that’s Okay. Just remember to enjoy Today.
The title may attract the attention of a few people already familiar with the acronym. More later ... I purchased the timepiece pictured some 50 or more years ago and it has always been a disappointment ... it still looks almost pristine! It’s promise was that it was self-winding, that is by some engineering magic once it was wound and put on my wrist it somehow was supposed to stay wound enough to keep “good time”. Well, here’s the basic truth; if I wind it up and let it lay on the shelf it will keep perfect time until it runs down in a couple of days. If put it on my wrist it will randomly stop for 5 or 10 minutes at a time from the first hour on ... making it functionally useless!
In the mid-80s after a life changing event I learned that I can only live One Day at a Time (ODaaT). I realized this independent worthless timepiece is in fact a constant reminder that I only have today ... yesterday is history and tomorrow is not yet in play.
It has no other numbers than today’s calendar number and day ... today ... if I keep it wound. My every attempt to use it for my purposes by wearing it ... my actions ... screws up it’s basic time keeping function so if I let go and let it do it’s thing on the shelf all works just fine. I’m some 16 years into retirement and I removed my “working” watch the day I retired ... I know where time is being kept and I can freely live TODAY. If you got this far Happy Macro Monday ... and enjoy today. HMM Everyone.
Numbers are universal and are everywhere we look. I often wonder how the world would manage if there were no numbers.
What do you think?

I guess some stripes never fade around here.
We've already got 2 N°27s and both are far prettier than this one. Which was pretty much a standard design in Perros. Although this one looks like it was two number stuck together.
