Certain areas of this part of Oregon always seemed like they could pass for West Texas. I found myself thinking about 'No Country For Old Men' around here.
Manifestation du 1er-Mai : environ 5000 personnes dans les rues de Dijon (Côte-d'Or).
Plus que jamais unies, "face à une situation économique et sociale, marquée par l’aggravation des inégalités, de la précarité et par la crise écologique qui s’accélère dangereusement", les organisations syndicales CGT, Solidaires, FSU, FO et Unef se sont massivement mobilisées, à Dijon, pour les salaires, les pensions, la protection sociale, les emplois, les services publics, l’engagement de la rupture écologique et pour la paix. La manifestation qui a débuté à 10h30, place Wilson, a rassemblé au moins 5000 personnes selon les observateurs de l'Union populaire, mouvement qui a mobilisé aussi une trentaine de ses militants de Côte-d'Or.
Le cortège s'est rendu place de la République en passant par le Théâtre, la place de la Libération, la rue de la Liberté et la place Darcy, avant de revenir place Wilson en empruntant la rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
Les revendications de l'intersyndicale de Côte-d'Or étaient, ce jour, plus intenses que lors des années précédentes : "Pour une rupture profonde en matière salariale et pour les pensions, exigeons le 1er mai des mesures fortes et générales d’augmentation des salaires et des pensions, des bourses étudiantes et un plan de rattrapage des pertes accumulées. Pour arrêter de malmener les services publics, exigeons le 1er mai la reconnaissance de la valeur et l’engagement des agents en améliorant leurs conditions de travail, en revalorisant d’urgence le point d’indice, en consolidant les statuts et en embauchant massivement des fonctionnaires. Pour défendre et conforter notre modèle social, exigeons le 1er mai la suppression de la réforme de l’assurance chômage et le retrait de tout projet visant à reporter l’âge légal de départ en retraite. Pour la transition écologique, exigeons le 1er mai des mesures fortes et immédiates pour éviter les conséquences dramatiques du dérèglement climatique pour les écosystèmes et les populations."
s'y ajoutaient aussi : "Pour lutter contre les semeurs de haine, réaffirmons nos valeurs de solidarité, d’égalité et d’opposition à toutes les formes de discriminations. Pour la paix et la solidarité internationale, réaffirmons en ce 1er mai notre solidarité avec le peuple ukrainien, et tous les peuples victimes des guerres. Rappelons que pour nos organisations syndicales les réfugiés, d’où qu’elles et ils viennent, doivent être accueillis dignement et sans discrimination."
Enfin, les mouvements et partis politiques de gauche et écologistes étaient bien présents dans cette manifestation unitaire. Les militants de l'Union populaire / LFI / Parti de gauche / POI, du NPA, du Parti communiste étaient particulièrement nombreux, tandis que seulement trois écologistes d'EELV seulement se partageaient quatre drapeaux à leurs couleurs...

BOUDHANATH
Boudhanath (Devanagari, Nepali: बौद्धनाथ) (also called Boudha, Bouddhanath or Baudhanath or the Khāsa Caitya) is a stupa in Kathmandu, Nepal. It is known as Khāsti in Nepal Bhasa, Jyarung Khashor in Tibetan language (Tibetan: བྱ་རུང་ཁ་ཤོར། Wylie: bya rung kha shor) or as Bauddha by speakers of Nepali. Located about 11 km from the center and northeastern outskirts of Kathmandu, the stupa's massive mandala makes it one of the largest spherical stupas in Nepal.
The Buddhist stupa of Boudhanath dominates the skyline. The ancient Stupa is one of the largest in the world. The influx of large populations of refugees from Tibet has seen the construction of over 50 Tibetan Gompas (Monasteries) around Boudhanath. As of 1979, Boudhanath is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Along with Swayambhunath, it is one of the most popular tourist sites in the Kathmandu area.
The Stupa is on the ancient trade route from Tibet which enters the Kathmandu Valley by the village of Sankhu in the northeast corner, passes by Boudnath Stupa to the ancient and smaller stupa of Cā-bahī (often called 'Little Boudnath'). It then turns directly south, heading over the Bagmati river to Patan - thus bypassing the main city of Kathmandu (which was a later foundation). Tibetan merchants have rested and offered prayers here for many centuries. When refugees entered Nepal from Tibet in the 1950s, many decided to live around Boudhanath. The Stupa is said to entomb the remains of Kassapa Buddha.
MYTHOLOGY
PADMASAMBHAVA BUDDHISM
This Bauddha stupa was built just after the demise of Lord Buddha and is largest single Chhorten in the world. Many Kilograms of gold were used in the decoration of the holy building. The legend of its building begins with one person:
An Apsara in a previous life, Jyajima (Tibetan: བྱ་རྫི་མ། Wylie: bya rdzi ma) was born into a very ordinary family of the earth after the reduction of her religious merit from the heaven. She had four husbands, and gave birth to four sons from each of her husbands. Tajibu (Tibetan: རྟ་རྫིའི་བུ། Wylie: rta rdzi'i bu) was born of a horse trader, Phagjibu (Tibetan: ཕག་རྫིའི་བུ། Wylie: phag rdzi'i bu) from a pig trader, khyijibu (Tibetan: ཁྱི་རྫིའི་བུ། Wylie: khyi rdzi'i bu) from dog trader and Jyajibu (Tibetan: བྱ་རྫིའི་བུ། Wylie: bya rdzi'i bu) from poultry business man. They had a most religious attitude, and decided to construct the largest chhorten (stupa). The land necessary for the stupa was made available by Majyajima (Tibetan: མ་བྱ་རྫི་མ། Wylie: ma bya rdzi ma), and construction was started soon after. The construction materials of soil, bricks and stones were carried on elephants, horses, donkeys etc. Majyajima died four years later, after completion of four stories of the structure, and after three more years of ceaseless efforts, the sons completed The Baudha stupa. It took almost seven years in total to complete the construction of the stupa.
It is believed that thousands of Buddhas and heavenly Deities incarnated as Lamas in the Baudha stupa It is said that because of Rabne, the rays of Bodhisattvas entered in the song from heaven and the holy sound of was heard in the sky. Due to being empowered by the Bodhisattvas this stupa is viewed with a great reverence as are Sangye Tong Duspai
Chorten (Tibetan: སངས་རྒྱས་སྟོང་འདུས་པའི་མཆོད་རྟེན། Wylie: sangs rgyas stong 'dus pa'i mchod rten) etc.
After the completion of the construction of Boudha stupa, Tajibu prayed very devoutly to become the king of the northern region to disseminate the religion, so he was the Dharma King Trisong Detsen of Tibet in his next life. Phagjibu wished to be a scholar to disseminate the religion, and he became Bodhisattva Śāntarakṣita, an enlightened teacher in Tibet in the next birth. Khyijibu was incarnated as the enlightened Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava on Ashada Dashain (on the tenth day of lunar calendar of first half of Ashada) in Oddiyana, Oḍḍiyāna (Skt. Oḍḍiyāna; Tibetan: ཨུ་རྒྱན་, Wylie: u rgyan, Oriya: ଓଡ଼ିଆଣ), in the southwest area, at Dhanakosha lake. He suppressed the Demons who were barriers to the religion and conserved and protected the religion from the Demonic attacks. Jyajibu prayed to be a minister for the protection of religion in the north and as an answer to his prayer he was born at Tibet and became the minister Bhami Thri Zher (Tibetan: སྦ་མི་ཁྲི་བཞེར། Wylie: sba mi khri bzher).
All of these person prayed for themselves but they did not pray for the animals, who transported bricks, soil, and stone. So these animals became angry and the elephant prayed to be the Demon in the next life to eliminate the religion. So he became the King Langdarma of Tibet in the next life, where Tajibu had disseminated the holiest religion. In the same way, the Donkey prayed to become a minister in the next life to destroy the religion and he too became a minister Dudlon Mazhang Drompakye (Tibetan: བདུད་བློན་མ་ཞང་གྲོམ་པ་སྐྱེས། Wylie: bdud blon ma zhang grom pa skyes) in Tibet.
A crow listened the prayers of these animals who prayed for the destruction of the holiest religion, and he (the crow) prayed to the Bauddha Stupa to be a minister to protect and preserve the holy religion by killing the demonic king Langdarma (Tibetan: རྒྱལ་པོ་གླང་དར་མ། Wylie: rgyal po glang dar ma) in the next life. He was born as Lha Lung Pal Gyi Dorje (Tibetan: ལྷ་ལུང་དཔལ་གྱི་རྡོ་རྗེ། Wylie: lha lung dpal gyi rdo rje) in the next life, and assassinated King Lang Darma with a bow and arrow.
The cowherds and shepherds, who prayed for the protection of religion and suppression of demons (who were attempting to eliminate the holy religion), were born as Cholon Gos Padma Gung Tsan (Tibetan: ཆོས་བློན་འགོས་པདྨ་གུང་བཙན། Wylie: chos blon 'gos padma gung tsan) in Tibet to conserve the religion. In the same way, Chodpurchan and Sarse, two Brahmins who prayed to the stupa to be born in the holy country and to write the holy literature were reborn in the next life as Kawa Paltsek (Tibetan: སྐ་བ་དཔལ་བརྩེགས། Wylie: ska ba dpal brtsegs) and Chogro Lhui Gyaltshan (Tibetan: ཅོག་རོ་ཀླུའི་རྒྱལ་མཚན། Wylie: cog ro klu'i rgyaltshan); these two translated thousands of holy teachings of Lord Buddha into Bhoti (Tibetan) Language.
In addition to this, two crown princes of Nepal prayed to be helpers in dissesminating the religion, and they became Denma Tsemang (Tibetan: ལྡན་མ་རྩེ་མང་། Wylie:ldan ma rtse mang) and Legzyin Nyima (Tibetan: ལེགས་བྱིན་ཉི་མ། Wylie: legs byin nyi ma) in their next lives and wrote many holy books. Along with this, the religious king of Tibet, Dechen Devachan asked the greatest teacher Rinpoche: "what could be the factor and cultural background of our previous life that made us deeply devoted in religion and active in disseminating religious matters"? He was answered and was reverently referred by the Guru as 'Jyarung Khashor.
LEGEND OF THE CONSTRUCTION ACCORDING TO TIBETAN BUDDHIST MYTHOLOGY
"The village that surrounds the great Kāṣyapa stupa is generally known by the name of Bauḍḍha. ...which in Tibetan is called Yambu Chorten Chenpo (Tibetan: ཡམ་བུའི་མཆོད་རྟེན་ཆེན་པོ། Wylie: yam bu'i mchod rten chenpo). Yambu is the general name by which Kāthmāndu is known in Tibet; and Chorten Chenpo means great stupa. The real name of the stupa in full is, however, Jya Rung Khashor Chorten Chenpo, which may be translated into: "Have finished giving the order to proceed with." The stupa has an interesting history of its own which explains this strange name. It is said in this history that Kāṣyapa was a Buḍḍha that lived a long time before Shākyamuni Buḍḍha. after Kāṣyapa Buḍḍha's demise, a certain old woman, with her four sons, interred this great sage's remains at the spot over which the great mound now stands, the latter having been built by the woman herself. Before starting on the work of construction, she petitioned the King of the time, and obtained permission to "proceed with" building a tower. By the time that, as a result of great sacrifices on the part of the woman and her four sons, the groundwork of the structure had been finished, those who saw it were astonished at the greatness of the scale on which it was undertaken. Especially was this the case with the high officials of the country, who all said that if such a poor old dame were allowed to complete building such a stupendous tower, they themselves would have to dedicated a temple as great as a mountain, and so they decided to ask the King to disallow the further progress of the work. When the King was approached on the matter his Majesty replied: "I have finished giving the order to the woman to proceed with the work. Kings must not eat their words, and I cannot undo my orders now." So the tower was allowed to be finished, and hence its unique name, "Jya Rung Khashor Chorten Chenpo." I rather think, however, that the tower must have been built after the days of Shākyamuni Buḍḍha, for the above description from Tibetan books is different from the records in Sanskrit, which are more reliable than the Tibetan." the biggest stupa in Nepal.
HISTORY
The Gopālarājavaṃśāvalī (Gopu) says Boudhanath was founded by the Nepalese Licchavi king Śivadeva (c. 590-604 CE); though other Nepalese chronicles date it to the reign of King Mānadeva (464-505 CE). Tibetan sources claim a mound on the site was excavated in the late 15th or early 16th century and the bones of king Aṃshuvarmā 605-621 were discovered there. However, the Tibetan emperor, Trisong Detsän (r. 755 to 797) is also traditionally associated with the construction of the Boudhanath Stupa.Yolmo Ngagchang Sakya Zangpo from Helambu resurrected Boudhanath.
2015 EARTHQUAKE
On April 25th, 2015 a 7.8 magnitude earthquake caused minor damage to the stupa.

Dan and I were just about to head out from California to Nebraska for our 1st year of College. My car was loaded with everything we owned and a big sign in the back announcing "Nebraska or Bust!". We didn't bust...but we did get a speeding ticket in Kansas, and of course the gnarly pants we wore just screamed "California Cool" in the middle of the Heartland...
« Caborne » is the vernacular word used in the Lyon city region, France, to name ancient dry-stones huts that could found in the neighboring massif of the Monts d’Or. Dry-stones huts developed in France a lot at the 18th-19th centuries and are no as old as we could first think. This flourishing age is due to the encouragement of the French Kingdom to clear some forestal domains and later to the development of small vineyard and access to the private property for little farming. Those « cabornes » were constructed following empirical rules and know-how of « caborniers », masons and quarrymen. Quarries of limestone in the Monts d’Or are still visible and gave the materials of most of the buildings erected in Lyon in the past.
Today the « cabornes » attract visitors with their ingenuity and rustic charm, often integrated into hiking trails. They evoke a sense of nostalgia and connection to nature, reinforcing regional and cultural identity. Associations of volunteers are organizing initiatives to inventory, restore and rediscovered the ancestral technics of dry-stone construction. Dry-stone huts are also found in Portugal, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Scotland and Finland as temporary shelter for shepherds and their animals, permanent habitations for monks or agricultural workers, storage and cheese making, etc.
For additional explorations of these « cabornes », I decided to visit different trails starting from Giverdy in Saint-Didier-au-Monts-d’Or on September 1st, 2 and 6, 2025. On Sept. 1st, 2025 my walk was limited to the village of Saint-Fortunat, a small district of Saint-Didier-au-Mont-d’Or, due to heavy rains and stormy weather while the weather forecast predicted only « light rains ». The weather was very fair on Sept. 2 and 6.
I was equipped of my heavy Nikon F4 year 1989 (see below for details about the camera and the lens) fitted with an AF-Nikkor 2/35mm lens and loaded with a black-and-white Adox HR-50 36-exposure film. The film is called « super panchromatic » with an extended spectral sensitivity in the red to the near-IR band. It is said that, recently, HR-50 film was released under the Leica brand (Leica Monopan 50). Processing of these 50 ISO film with extra-fine grain developper, like Adox Atomal 49, gives interesting rendering, with of very smooth and rich tone range and a very high resolution. Both Scala 50 and HR-50 are coated on clear thin (0.1 mm) polyester teraphtalate (PET) basis with black and blue dies layers that dissolve in water for anti-halo properties.
The AF-Nikkor lens 1:2 f=35mm was equipped as indicated below with an Hoya HMC UV 52mm screw-on protective filter or a generic 52mm Yellow filter. A rectangular Minolta shade hood D54KC designed for the MC-Rokkor 1:2.8 f=35mm lens was used for the whole session. The light metering was done using the Nikon F4 through the lens (TTL) systems either in the matrix or the spot metering used in the "A" aperture-priority auto mode or the manual mode.

After completion at view Nr. 38, the film was rewound manually and processed using 400 mL of stock solution of Adox Atomal 49 developer for 8min30 at 20°C plus 1min to compensate the developper exhaustion after the fifth film processed.
Digitizing was made using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) fitted to a Minolta Auto Bellows III with the Minolta slide duplication accessory and Minolta Macro Bellow lens 1:3.5 f=50mm. The diffuse light source was a LED panel CineStill Cine-lite. The RAW files obtained were inverted within the latest version available of Adobe Lightroom Classic (version 14.5 of August 2025) and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printer files with a frame or the full size JPEG's together with documentary smartphone color pictures taken during my walks.
About the camera and the lens:
Maybe it would have been better not to ask for this question: « what’s new do you have at the moment?» to my local photo store, because Christine grabbed underneath the counter, stating « I have that … » . What a beast ! A Nikon F4 in the exact state of the Nikon brochure year 1990, presented with the standard AF Nikkor 1:1.4 f=50mm. I was already hooked by the machine. After two days, I decided to buy it even with some little common issues found on early Nikon F4 (see below), fortunately not affecting the whole, numberous functions of this incredibly complex professional SLR of the year 1990’s.
Nikon F4 came to the market on September 1988 starting with the serial number 2.000.000. Fully manufactured in Japan (modules came from 3 different Nikon factories) the F4's were assembled in Mito, Ibaraki (North to Tokyo) Nikon plant (no more in the mother factory of Tokyo Oi like the Nikon’s F). When I lived in Tokyo in 1990-1991, Nikon F4 was the top-of-the-line of Nikon SLR camera’s. I saw it in particular in Shinjuku Bic Camera store when I bought there, in December 1990 my Nikonos V.
Nikon F4 incorporates many astonishing engineering features as the double vertical-travel curtain shutter capable of the 1/8000s. Compared to the Nikon F3, the F4 was an AF SLR operated by a CCD sensor (200 photo sites). The film is automatically loaded, advanced with to top speed of 5,7 frame/s !! With the MB-21 power grip (F4s version). The F4 is a very heavy camera (1.7kg with the AF Nikkor 1.4/50mm), incredibly tough and well constructed. This exemplary is devoid of any scratches or marks, and in a condition proving that it was not used for hard professional appliances, for those it was however intended. The camera has still it original Nikon neck strap, the original user manual in French. The lens is protected by a Cokin (Franc) Skylight 1A 52mm filter and the original Nikon front cap. The two small LCD displays (one on the F4 body, one in the DP-20 finder) are both affected by the classical syndrome of « bleeding ». Fortunately, all information could still be read. One says that 70% of the early Nikon F4 suffer from this problem but also found on other models.
According its serial number and the production rate of about 5000 units/month, this Nikon F4s was probably manufactured in Mito, Ibaraki, Japan in May 1989.
The camera was exported abroad thereafter attested by the presence of the golden oval little sticker("Passed" on the DP-20 viewfinder. In order to certify the quality production, two Japanese organizations, the Japan Camera Industry Institute (JCII) and the Japan Machinery Design Center (JMDC), joined forces to verify and mark the conformity of products for the foreign market. This is how, between the 1950s and 1980s, this famous little gold sticker was affixed, with the legendary "Passed", meaning that the device had been checked. Finally, when we say that the device had been checked, the production line had been checked because each device could not be checked individually.

About the lens:
The AF-Nikkor 1:2 f=35mm lens is part of the kit around my Nikon F4 year 1989. The kit now includes 3 very classical AF-Nikkor lenses of the same period of the Nikon F4 camera body, including the standard 1.4/50mm, the 1.8/85mm and the 2/35mm. The choice of fixed-focal lenses instead of zooms was already in 1989 a bit old-fashioned. However many photographers preferred still the homogenous rendering of a photo series done with a single focal lens. Generally speaking, a 35mm focal is a charming moderate wide-angle, very easy to use and particularly adapted for architectural and street-photography.
The AF-Nikkor 1:2 f=35mm is not a rare lens. However, when looked on eBay there was not tens of them available in EU. I bought a good one form a Belgian seller at a normal price (180€). The lens is in very good mechanical and optical condition and came with the rear and front caps. I sourced the dedicated Nikon HN-3 shade hood separately for 10€ .

Carrière de Glay
Les carrières de calcaire d’Oncin ou de Glay sont situées dans le Beaujolais méridional, à l’extrême nord de la commune de Saint-Germain-Nuelles. Alléon Dulac dans son mémoire de 1765 en a décrit 19, regroupées dans deux ensembles proches topographiquement mais bien individualisés : 8 sont dans les Monts-d’Or, aux portes de Lyon, et les 11 autres dans le pays des Pierres Dorées. Les carrières d'Oncin qui font partie de ces dernières se recommandent particulièrement à l’attention par divers caractères exceptionnellement réunis. Elles sont les seules à se dresser sur un site perché à 427 mètres d’altitude d’où l’on découvre un vaste panorama. La durée de leur exploitation est parmi les plus longues, du XVe siècle jusqu’en 1947. Le front de taille est parfaitement conservé.
En 2018, le territoire Beaujolais a été labellisé " Géoparc mondial UNESCO "
Seule carrière de pierre jaune située à l'ouest de l'Azergues, la carrière de Glay (également appelée carrière d'Oncin) a été exploitée dès le XVème siècle et n'a cessé définitivement qu'en 1947.
L’esplanade des Carrières de Glay, formée par l’accumulation de déblais de taille de pierre offre un panorama unique qui révèle la diversité des paysages du Beaujolais : 15 villages en pierre dorée et leur clocher, vignes et champs bordant l’Azergues, forêts verdoyantes…
Le site est classé Espace Naturel Sensible en raison de la variété de sa faune et de sa flore, et de la présence d'espèces rares (notamment des chauves-souris, mais aussi des orchidées!).
Il est ouvert toute l'année aux promeneurs qui peuvent faire le tour du site par un sentier aménagé et jalonné de panneaux.
Dans le cadre de l’UNESCO Global GEOPARK du Beaujolais, le site des Carrières de Glay est qualifié de « géosite » au regard de son intérêt scientifique, sa rareté, sa portée éducative, sa valeur esthétique, mais aussi pour son intérêt écologique, historique et culturel. C’est aussi un lieu qui permet d'observer des phénomènes géologiques remarquables qui reflètent l'histoire géologique, les événements ou les processus qui l'ont créée.
