Occulté par les noms des grandes batailles telles que Verdun, la Champagne ou encore l'Artois, le Vieil Armand ou Hartmannswillerkopf demeure largement méconnu, bien que l'intensité des combats qui s'y déroulèrent en font l'un des champs de bataille les plus meurtriers de la guerre, compte tenu de la petitesse du terrain.
L'aspirant martin, soldat ayant servi au Hartmannswillerkopf écrivit dans un témoignage : "je n'ai jamais vu pareil charnier et durant les années suivantes, je ne verrai pas même à Verdun pareil entassement de cadavres en un terrain aussi chaotique sur un si petit espace".
I knew in advance the sun would be setting behind the Maiden's Tower. When I arrived on site, I used the PhotoPills app AR mode to show the path of the sun, and I set my tripod one hour before. The app was spot on; I didn't have to move one inch/cm.

The Eurasian Hoopoe (Upupa epops) is an exotic-looking bird found across Europe, Asia, and North Africa, best known for its "crown" of feathers and unique defense mechanisms.
Appearance and Identification
Distinctive Crest:
It possesses a tall, fan-like crest of cinnamon feathers tipped with black. This crest is typically held closed but is dramatically raised when the bird is excited or has just landed.
Coloration:
Its body is a pinkish-brown or cinnamon color, contrasting sharply with broad, rounded wings and a tail barred with black and white "zebra" stripes.
Long Bill:
It has a long, slender, down-curved bill used for probing soft soil and leaf litter for food.
Butterfly Flight:
Its flight is highly characteristic, featuring an erratic, undulating movement with deep wingbeats that make it resemble a giant butterfly.
Behavior and Diet
Diet:
Primarily insectivorous, it eats larvae, beetles, crickets, and mole crickets. It also occasionally takes small reptiles, frogs, and berries.
Unique Call:
Its name is onomatopoeic, derived from its soft, trisyllabic "oop-oop-oop" or "hoo-poo-poo" call.
Defense Mechanism:
To deter predators, nesting females and chicks produce a foul-smelling liquid from an oil gland that smells like rotting meat. Older chicks can also squirt feces at intruders to defend the nest.
Habitat and Conservation
Range:
It is native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa. Northern populations are migratory, wintering in sub-Saharan Africa or South Asia.
Nesting:
Hoopoes are cavity nesters, using holes in trees, walls, cliffs, or abandoned buildings.
Status:
Listed as Least Concern by the IUCN, though populations are declining in Western Europe due to habitat loss and pesticide use.
Cultural Significance
National Symbol:
It is the National Bird of Israel (selected in 2008).
Religious & Mythological:
The hoopoe is mentioned in the Quran as a messenger for Prophet Solomon and appears in ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Persian literature as a symbol of wisdom or virtue.

The Eurasian Hoopoe (Upupa epops) is a distinctive, medium-sized bird known for its striking appearance, unique "crown" of feathers, and a soft, repetitive "oop-oop-oop" call.
Appearance: They have a pinkish-cinnamon colored body with bold black and white stripes on their wings and tail. Their most notable feature is a large, erectile crest on their head, which resembles a "Chinese fan" and can be raised when excited or alarmed, or folded back when the bird is relaxed.
Bill: The hoopoe possesses a long, thin, and down-curved black bill, which is specifically adapted for probing the soil to find food.
Size: They typically measure between 25–32 cm (10–12.6 inches) in length, with a wingspan of 44–48 cm (17–19 inches).
Flight: Their flight pattern is unique and often described as undulating or like that of a giant butterfly, with rapid wingbeats.
Eurasian hoopoes are found across a wide range of habitats in Europe, Asia, and the northern half of Africa, including open woodlands, savannas, grasslands, orchards, and farmlands. They require bare or lightly vegetated ground for foraging and vertical surfaces with cavities (such as trees, cliffs, or walls) for nesting.
Their diet primarily consists of insects and other small invertebrates like: Crickets, locusts, and beetles. Insect larvae and pupae, including those of the harmful processionary moth. Worms, spiders, and occasionally small reptiles or berries.
They typically forage alone on the ground, using their long bills to probe the soil and extract prey.
Nesting & Defense: They are monogamous and nest in cavities, with the female incubating the eggs while the male provides food. To deter predators, nesting females and their chicks produce a foul-smelling, meat-like liquid from a specialized gland near the tail, which they rub into their plumage. Nestlings can also direct streams of faeces at intruders and hiss in a snake-like fashion.

The Eurasian Collared Dove (Streptopelia decaocto) is a highly adaptable, medium-sized bird known for its rapid global expansion. Originally native to warmer regions of Asia, it has become a common sight in urban, suburban, and agricultural areas across Europe and North America.
Key Identification Features
Appearance:
They have a plump, sandy-gray or buff-colored body with a distinctive black half-collar on the nape of the neck.
Distinctive Tail:
Unlike the pointed tail of a Mourning Dove, the Eurasian collared dove has a broad, squared-off tail with large white patches at the corners.
Eyes and Bill:
Adults possess striking dark red eyes and a thin black bill.
Vocalizations:
Their primary call is a rhythmic, three-syllable coo (koo-KOO-kook) with the middle syllable emphasized. They also emit a harsh, nasal screeching sound just before landing.
Behavior and Diet
Diet:
These birds are primarily granivores, feeding on seeds, grains, and cereal crops, though they occasionally eat berries and small insects. They are frequent visitors to backyard bird feeders, where they often forage on the ground.
Territoriality:
They can be aggressive competitors at feeding stations, often chasing away smaller birds or native species like the Mourning Dove.
Flight Display:
Males perform a ritualized mating flight, flying nearly vertically before gliding down in a spiral with fanned tails.
Breeding and Life Cycle
Rapid Reproduction:
A monogamous pair can raise up to six broods per year in warmer climates.
Nesting:
They build simple, often flimsy platform nests made of twigs in trees, on buildings, or even on man-made structures like satellite dishes.
Parental Care:
Both parents share incubation duties and feed their young "crop milk," a nutrient-rich fluid secreted from their esophagus.
Global Colonization
The species is famous in ornithology for its "leapfrog" colonization style—new populations often spring up hundreds of miles away and eventually "backfill" the space in between. After being introduced to the Bahamas in the 1970s, they reached Florida by the 1980s and have since spread across most of the continental United States and into Canada.

So I got the Cult shoes from Kustom9 and wanted to do something actiony with them.
I went to RK Poses to get the skateboard and the pose set is really easy to use with the prop.
A composite shot of the occultation of Mars by the Moon in the early hours of 8th December 2022. This image transposes shots of Moon and Mars taken with a Celestron Edge HD11 scope a few hours before the occultation. The images are placed on top of the actual shot to provide a more detailed luminance layer (I couldn't use the main scope for the occultation as a tree blocked the view from my observatory!)

Rain yesterday, clearing clouds this morning with clouds in the exact spot where the Moon was located. This image was captured through clearing clouds using a 120 mm Takahashi refractor, 2X Televue Powermate and a Nikon Z6II modified for 830 nm cutoff infrared. It was visible, not the perfect photo, but captured the event. Infrared improves the contrast in the breaking dawn making this event easier to resolve from the background sky.
Captured with a Questar telescope and it is a fusion of 5 exposures imaged with a Nikon Z7II camera. Mag 3.3 star. This image was about 2 min before occultation.

A series of shots taken over 13 minutes showing the occultation of Mars by the Moon, the earlier shots taken one minute apart, a shorter period between the final shots.
Images captured from London just before 5am on the 8th December 2022. Canon EOS 6D, 200mm telephoto lens with 2X Teleconverter (effective fl 400mm)
I witnessed the occultation of Mars behind the Moon. This is a composite of six exposures, 5 minutes apart starting at 6:37pm local time in Cupertino, California. In the San Francisco Bay Area we had the privilege that the red planet was traveling dead center behind the Moon. In reality it's the other way around, the Moon travels in front of the stars in the background. I took these shots with a 600mm lens and a 2x tele extender on a crop sensor camera, resulting in a 35 mm equivalent of 1800mm, which is a very small field of view, or in other words a large magnification.
Mars is twice as big as the moon (3400 km vs. 1700 km radius), but appears much smaller because it is so much further away.
I processed a realistic and a balanced HDR photo from 6 RAW exposures, manually aligned and stacked them, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

This image shows Jupiter about 10 min after exit when a hole appeared in the clouds. This image was captured in 830 nm infrared which is gray scale and then converted to blue to match my eyes view of the event with a silvery Moon and Jupiter in a blue background. To my eye this is close to my view. This image was captured with a 120 mm Takahshi refractor, a Nikon Z6II modified for 830 cutoff infrared, a Televue Powermate 2X. Processed with Photoshop from a single image.
