Plains zebra (Equus quagga), the more common or widespread of the the two species we encountered. They are easy to identify as their stripes wrap all the way around their bellies. No two stripe patterns are the same.

On a précisé que le glacier avançait vers l'aval entre 1,50m et 3 m par jour , sous la pression de la masse de glace qui s'accumule en haut.Le glacier s'effrite , se casse au moment de la rencontre avec la rivière Rico.
Mais, à peu près au centre du cliché ,se trouve la zone où le glacier verrouille de temps à autre l'écoulement des eaux du bras du Rico situé sur la gauche.L'eau alors s'accumule dans le bras supérieur , le flux diminue sur le bras inférieur qui rejoint le lac. Les eaux creusent peu à peu la base du glacier.....qui au moment critique s'effondre, libérant d'énormes masses d'eau.Cette brusque arrivée d'eau s'engouffre vers l'aval , arrachant une partie des berges au passage......A cet effet , les passerelles piétonnières ne descendent pas jusque 'en bas du versant d'où est pris le cliché...
On voit en bas vers la gauche ,un de ces énormes blocs résultant de la fracture d'un sérac , échoué vers la rive opposée au glacier

Restos del monasterio románico benedictino de Sant Serni (o Sant Sadurní, o San Saturnino) de Tavérnoles en el Alto Urgel (Anserall, Valls de Valira), provincia de Lérida (Cataluña). Historia (o leyenda) sucinta de este santo mártir tal como me han contado en el Valle del Adour (Francia). Unos jóvenes paganos querían sacrificar un buey para homenajar a sus dioses. Saturnino que recorría la región con ánimo de evangelizarla, quiso oponerse al sacrificio. Por venganza, los paganos ataron al santo al buey y lo azuzaron. Despavorido, el animal huyó arrastrando a Saturnino que se rompió la cabeza…

Brève histoire (ou légende) de ce saint martyr comme on me l'a raconté dans la vallée de l'Adour (France). Certains jeunes païens voulaient sacrifier un bœuf pour rendre hommage à leurs dieux. Saturnin, ou Sernin,, qui parcourait la région avec l'intention de l'évangéliser, voulut s'opposer au sacrifice. Pour se venger, les païens attachèrent le saint au bœuf et l'éperonnèrent. Terrifié, l'animal s'enfuit, entraînant Saturninus, qui lui cassa la tête...

AZOURY - The Krasue Mirror Head

I just can't resist the wonderful display of the native bluebells at Langley Wood (part of Heartwood Forest). They are so beautifull with their dropped head as opposed to the Spanish variety.

Large raptor. Appears dark from a distance. Up close, dark brown above with bare red head. In flight, undersides of wings are two-toned; lighter on the entire trailing edge of the wing, opposed to just wingtips on Black Vulture. Wings are held slightly raised when soaring, making a "V" when seen head-on. Tends to wobble in flight. Wingbeats slower and deeper than Black Vulture. Glides relatively low while sniffing for carrion, or riding thermals to higher vantage points. Also huddles around roadkill or dumpsters. (eBird)
Moodie Drive, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. July 2014.
The Cathedral of Our Lady (Dutch: Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal) is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Antwerp, Belgium. Today's see of the Diocese of Antwerp started in 1352 and, although the first stage of construction was ended in 1521, has never been 'completed'. In Gothic style, its architects were Jan and Pieter Appelmans. It contains a number of significant works by the Baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens, as well as paintings by artists such as Otto van Veen, Jacob de Backer and Marten de Vos.
The belfry of the cathedral is included in the Belfries of Belgium and France entry in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
The first Christian missionaries arrived in the 7th century. The first parish church dedicated to Saint Peter and Saint Paul was constructed in the current Sint Michielsstraat. After the Viking raids in 836, the church was damaged and restored, and subsequently dedicated to Saint Michael. In the 10th century, a group of 12 secular canons were connected to this church. They would dedicate all of their time to the Liturgy of the Hours, and mainly opposed the beliefs of the established Roman Catholic Church.
Upon hearing of their dissent behavior, the bishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cambrai (to which Antwerp belonged at the time) then sent Norbert of Xanten to discipline them. In 1124, Norbert of Xanten convinces 4 of the secular canons to start a norbertine abbey and thus the parish church becomes a monastery church, known as St. Michael's Abbey. The 8 other secular canons prefer to keep their freedom and move to a different location, a chapel dedicated to Our Lady, the Virgin Mary.
This chapel becomes Antwerp's new parish church, and is located between the Saint Michael residential area, and an older settlement around the area of Het Steen.
Becoming more popular, the chapel is demolished and replaced by a much bigger romanesque church. The three-aisled nave corresponded in width to the cathedral's current central aisle, the inner and partly the middle aisles. The cloverleaf-shaped eastern section with a full aisle had a width of no less than 42 m. In 1294, the church gets a novum opus extension, indicating the first signs of gothic architecture.

"Look for them in wetlands across North America, from coastal mudflats to sewage ponds and flooded fields. Like the very similar Long-billed Dowitcher, it probes for food by rhythmically inserting the bill straight up and down like a sewing machine needle at work. On tundra breeding grounds, males perform flight displays on quivering wings, delivering a grating, bubbly song. Sometimes bird names just seem wrong: it only takes one look at a Short-billed Dowitcher to notice it’s not a short-billed shorebird! The name is meant to distinguish it from the Long-billed Dowitcher, but it’s only a subtle difference. Female dowitchers have longer bills than males, so if you see one with an absurdly long-looking bill, it’s probably a female Long-billed. But in general, it’s much more useful to listen to dowitchers than to look at their bills to tell them apart. Early American ornithologist Elliott Coues believed that the word dowitcher derived from a hunters’ name for the bird, 'German snipe'—as opposed to 'English snipe,' which referred to the bird we now know as Wilson’s Snipe. In Pennsylvania Dutch, an American dialect of German, 'Duitscher' is the word for 'German.' Hunters and naturalists in the colonial era also knew dowitchers as red-breasted snipe and brownback.Unlike the Long-billed Dowitcher, Short-billed Dowitchers migrate in stages, first moving to intermediate areas to complete their molt, then moving on to their ultimate wintering areas. This strategy is called 'molt migration.'" Information from the All About Birds website, www.allaboutbirds.org, © Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
Le quartier de la Venezia
Cet ancien quartier, à la fois maritime et industriel, est considéré comme la partie de la ville la plus intéressante et la plus pittoresque à visiter. La « Petite Venise » de Livourne (parfois aussi appelé la « Venezia Nuova« ) s’étend principalement au nord de la grande Place de la République (Piazza della Republica). Mais un canal réapparaît du côté opposé après s’être poursuivi, en sous-sol, sous la Place de la République elle-même. L’immense Place de la République constitue de ce fait un pont enjambant l’un des principaux canaux de Livourne. ... Nous continuons la balade pédestre et allons faire un détour par le fort

The Venezia district This ancient district, both maritime and industrial, is considered the most interesting and picturesque part of the city to visit. The "Little Venice" of Livorno (sometimes also called the "Venezia Nuova") extends mainly north of the great Republic Square (Piazza della Republica). But a canal reappears on the opposite side after continuing, underground, under the Place de la République itself. The huge Republic Square is therefore a bridge spanning one of the main canals of Livorno
We continue the walk and will make a detour by the fort

Almonte (pronounced "AL-mont" as opposed to the original Spanish pronunciation of "al-MON-tay") is a former mill town located in Lanark County, in the eastern portion of Ontario, Canada. Formerly a separate municipality, Almonte is now a ward of the town of Mississippi Mills, which was created on January 1, 1998 by the merging of Almonte with Ramsay and Pakenham townships.
la grande gentiane est connue sous le nom de gentiane jaune, mais aussi de quinquina du pauvre.Tonique digestive, la grande gentiane sert à ouvrir l’appétit .Elle fait disparaître les ballonnements et les flatulences, elle est fortifiante. Elle augmente aussi la production de salive et est anti vomitive.
Sa racine est utilisée dans les apéritifs et les liqueurs
La gentiane se trouve dans de nombreux massifs montagneux (Alpes, Vosges, Jura, Massif Central, Pyrénées). Seuls les plus gros pieds sont récoltés, et ils ont parfois 15 à 20 ans
Une plante lui ressemble , mais à fleurs blanche >>>>Le vératre qui a des feuilles alternes alors que la gentiane a des feuilles opposées... Ses racines ressemblent à celles de la gentiane jaune , mais sont toxiques
A week ago Friday morning in the morning as opposed to the next days image I posted earlier in the week which was from Saturday afternoon. The smoke from the the Mosquito Fire basically gave the sky a totally apocalyptic orange cast on the sun which is what this image is. Not sunset but at 10 am in the morning, it was a sunny day but the smoke of the Mosquito Fire basically created an orange overcast in sky, something I’ve never experienced nor witnessed before. Today while in Colfax we could see a new plume from the same fire as prevalent winds fanned the blaze, which now is at over 73,000 acres and at 21% containment. There is rain in the forecast tomorrow and Monday so nature is providing much needed assistance and relief to the containment of the Mosquito Fire . - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @apple #excellent_america #apple @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #mosquitofire @californiafirefighter @visitcalifornia @nevadacountyca

*Working Towards a Better World
Let's come together and sit at the table and work out our differences. In the long run we all have the same goal, to live happily in peace. The only way to attain that life is by compromising and finding better ways to exist together, help one another, be tolerant, understanding, compassionate, share and peacefully work out our differences. We owe this, in a huge way to our children and, if we don't get it right they will suffer desperately. So let's make a large communal effort to get it right!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Last year, some of my works looked more than 10,000 times. I hope in the New 2020 we have this figure will be 100,000! I wish everyone to increase everything by 10 times! You never know where the path will lead you!
I like the potential that was 20 years ago in the first CCD cameras! Despite the simplicity, these tools outlived their later brethren! And not only in time ...
Ω, ω (name: omega, Greek ωμέγα) is the 24th letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of the Greek alphabetical record of numbers, it has a numerical value of 800. From the letter “omega” originated the Cyrillic letter Ѡ, known as “from” and “omega”. In ancient Greek, omega meant a long sound [oː], while an omicron (ο) meant a brief [o]. The ancient Greek name "ὦ μέγα" means "" about "big" (o-mega) - as opposed to "small" about ", that is, the letter omicron. In modern Greek omega and omicron are read the same.
In a figurative sense, omega, as the last letter of the alphabet, often means the extreme limit, the end of something.
What am I doing this for?
I like this game and glide along the wave while waiting for the moment ...

Information (Books
Video)
Communication with like-minded people
How much time to spend

What makes me get up in the morning?
What is most important to me both in life and in business?
Liberty. New Horizons. Amazing world. New people.
What am I really aiming for?
All this as a filter of perception for ease of achieving the goal !!!!
It is important to do what I consider important and to do so until the goal is achieved!
Believe in yourself!
Never question your honesty. Say what I think!
Take your features and use them!

Hypothesis
In order for any science to budge, so that its expansion becomes more perfect, hypotheses are necessary in the same way as testimony of experience and observation. What the observer collected with accuracy and thoroughness, and the comparison in his mind somehow arranged, the philosopher unites all this with one point of view, connects it into one, and creates in this way the opportunity to examine and use everything. Let such a theory, such a hypothesis be only fiction, but it nevertheless brings enough benefit. She teaches us to see individual things in communication, distant things in the neighborhood. Only in this way do knowledge gaps become apparent. Known relationships are found that are not explained by them. This is what attracts attention, makes you trace those points that are the most interesting just because they reveal completely new sides. But most importantly, the hypothesis elevates the soul
and returns her elasticity, as if stolen from her by separate disparate data of experience. The hypothesis in the doctrine of nature is the same as in morality, belief in God, in all - the immortality of the soul. These sublime feelings combine everything that is generally good in a person, elevate him above himself and lead him beyond the point to which he would have come without these feelings. 1790 Goethe

1. Taking pictures a tool (camera), not a photographer.
2. The choice of tool limits the possibilities.
3. Experience allows him (instrument) less and less to limit their capabilities.
4. The ability to see is given only when the observer allows ...
5. The moment of observation is the real find ...
6. Training and mastering it defies. Training leads to poor imitations of the original.
7. Often the result should ripen, like wine. Although time is the understanding of the mind, therefore it is very speculative.
8. The meaning of all this is the process!
9. Let it be!

Originally built by the Nabataeans (not the Romans) more than 2000 years ago, the Theatre was chiselled out of rock, slicing through many caves and tombs in the process. It was enlarged by the Romans to hold about 8500 (around 30% of the population of Petra) soon after they arrived in 106 CE. Badly damaged by an earthquake in 363 CE, the Theatre was partially dismantled to build other structures but it remains a Petra highlight.
The seating area had an original capacity of about 3000 in 45 rows of seats, with three horizontal sections separated by two corridors. The orchestra section was carved from the rock, but the backdrop to the frons scaenae (stage, which is no longer intact) was constructed, as opposed to carved, in three storeys with frescoed niches and columns overlaid by marble. The performers entered through one of three entrances, the outlines of which are still partially visible.
To make room for the upper seating tiers, the Romans sliced through more tombs. Under the stage floor were storerooms and a slot through which a curtain could be lowered at the start of a performance. From near the slot, an almost-complete statue of Hercules was recovered.
With a backdrop worthy of a David Roberts canvas, the Theatre now offers a vantage point from which to watch a modern tragicomedy of the ill-costumed, cursing their high-heeled footwear; the ill-cast, yawning at tedious tour guides; and the ill-tempered – mainly in the form of irritable camels and their peevish owners.

Vu depuis la rive opposée de la Moselle, l'IC 136 pour Luxembourg arrive à Treis-Karden, le 2 Août 2011. Il est tracté par la 181 219. C'étaient les derniers mois pour profiter de ce train, qui allait disparaitre comme une grande partie de la desserte IC de la vallée de la Moselle au SA2012.

Just playing around with a little studio photography as the months start turning colder, and lockdown starts to get tighter again. Figured I'd take a shot of this wine glass w/ a bit of color refraction, and practice some of my flash photography (which admittedly is in desperate need of work).
