Le lac de Paladru, surnommé le « lac bleu », par ses riverains, est un lac naturel des Préalpes françaises, situé administrativement dans le département de l'Isère en région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes et autrefois rattachée à l'ancienne province du Dauphiné.
D'une longueur légèrement supérieure à 5 km et d'une superficie de 3,9 km2, ce lac est partagé entre cinq communes et deux cantons et se présente aujourd'hui comme le cinquième lac naturel d'origine glaciaire de France, exception faite de la partie française du Léman.
C'est aussi un haut lieu archéologique français, ainsi que de biodiversité piscicole ; plusieurs espaces sont classés en zones naturelles protégées et sont inaccessibles au public.
En 2016, le conseil municipal de Paladru a voté la fusion avec la commune du Pin pour la commune nouvelle des Villages du Lac de Paladru.
Taken on Acropolis in Lindos on the Island of Rhodes in Greece. According to myths the Acropolis is the place where the worship of the hellenistic gods origined. Later this became the worship of the goddess Athena among other gods.
Il castello ha un'origine piuttosto tarda: nel 1245 la collina di San Salvatore fu ceduta dal comune di Treviso ai conti Collalto, che già vantavano diritti feudali sulla limitrofa contea omonima.
La costruzione fu iniziata tra la fine del tredicesimo secolo, quattordicesimo secolo e l'inizio del quindicesimo secolo. Nel 1312, quando il castello era ormai concluso, i Collalto ottennero da Enrico VII la piena giurisdizione sulle contee di Collalto e San Salvatore: è l'inizio di un principato che, pur in seno al comune di Treviso prima e alla Serenissima poi, mantenne larghissima autonomia sino al 1797, con l'arrivo di Napoleone.
"Ginkgo biloba (L., 1771) è una pianta, unica specie ancora sopravvissuta della famiglia Ginkgoaceae, dell'intero ordine Ginkgoales (Engler 1898) e della divisione delle Ginkgophyta. È un albero antichissimo le cui origini risalgono a 250 milioni di anni fa nel Permiano e per questo è considerato un fossile vivente. È una specie relitta." da Wikipedia
"Che cosa è una specie relitta? Per "relitto geografico" si intende generalmente un determinato organismo che, nell'area dove vive attualmente, è rimasto come testimonianza di una situazione passata durante la quale era maggiormente diffuso. Esistono anche "relitti tassonomici", ossia organismi che hanno mantenuto attraverso il tempo caratteristiche morfologiche e biologiche di antica origine. Ad esempio l'albero di ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) era ampiamente diffuso in Europa durante il mesozoico (oltre 65 milioni di anni fa) ed è rimasto praticamente immutato da allora conservando i caratteri arcaici dell’intero gruppo di piante estinte cui appartiene. Come unico rappresentante vivente di questo, esso può considersi un “fossile vivente” ad elevato isolamento tassonomico e filogenetico. Per capire come sia possibile trovare piante relitte in Italia occorre ripercorrere la storia della terra da 50 milioni di anni fa fino ad oggi. Durante il periodo terziario la deriva dei continenti aveva disposto le terre emerse in una posizione abbastanza simile all'attuale. Il Polo Sud però si trovava poco distante dal Sudafrica e l'Equatore decorreva lungo l'Europa meridionale. Il clima della regione corrispondente all'Italia era quindi tipicamente tropicale e la flora era caratterizzata da specie di clima caldo umido tra cui numerose Sequoie, Ficus, Magnolie, Eucalyptus, Bignonie, Gardenie ecc., giunte fino ai nostri giorni imprigionate nella roccia sotto forma di fossili. Durante tutto il terziario il Polo Nord continuò ad avvicinarsi all'Europa a causa di oscillazioni dell'asse terrestre e corrispondentemente il clima divenne via via più freddo. Fino alla fine del periodo terziario il clima della nostra zona rimase caldo, variando dal clima tropicale dell'eocene (50 milioni di anni fa) al clima temperato-caldo del pliocene (2 milioni di anni fa)."

La commune de Saint-Dizant-du-Gua porte le nom d'un ancien évêque de Saintes au VIIe siècle.
Fortement reconstruit à l'époque gothique, puis au XVIIIe siècle et à la fin du XIXe siècle, c'est un édifice malgré tout roman dont il ne reste que peu de parties d'origine.
L'ancien clocher complètement disparu a été remplacé par un clocher porche très élancé de style romano-ogival à la fin du XIXe siècle.
Le porche ouvert en plein cintre repose sur de fortes piles. L'étage intermédiaire est ajouré de doubles baies en plein cintre sur de longues et fines colonnes. La tour octogonale est cantonnée de pinacles surmontant les contreforts d'angle. Elle est agrémentée d'une galerie à balustrade et de pyramidions.

Fuchsia magellanica, commonly known as the Hummingbird fuchsia or Hardy fuchsia, is a species of flowering plant native to South America, from the temperate southern regions of Argentina and Chile to the Straits of Magellan, in general growing near the waterways.
In the southern part of Chile (Western Patagonia) it grows at the edge of the woods.
This sub-shrub can grow to 10 feet (3.0 m) in height and width in frost-free climates, and 4–5 feet (1.2–1.5 m) where is colder. The plant blossoms profusely over a long period with many small and tubular pendent flowers, in brilliant shades of red and purple, softer shades of pink and lavender, and some in white.
It is naturalized in the United Kingdom and Bolivia, regions where it was introduced for gardening. It arrived in England in the late 18th century. According to tradition, the English gardener James Lee discovered it on the windowsill of a seaman's house and bought it for a considerable sum. As early as 1793 Lee is said to have sold a large number of pieces that he had pulled from this one copy.
In Australia, the species is recorded as naturalised in the states of Western Australia, South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania.
The species is widely used in gardening, as an ornamental plant, due to the color and shape of its flowers. Many of the existing cultivars of Fuchsia are hybrids of this species with another of the genus, generally originating in warmer climates, since their main use as a source of hybridization is due to their resistance to cold.
It is grown in temperate and subtropical gardens, or in containers on patios, balconies, and indoors, but prefers a sunny position.
The plants are quite cold-hardy compared to other species from more tropical climates, and only die in hard frosts.
The profuse pendent flowers are a nectar source attractive to hummingbirds.
This Fuchsia is one of the species hybridized in obtaining "Brinco-de-princesa" (Princess earring), the name by what is known in Brazil.

In certain sense we can say that Fuchsia magellanica can be the mother of many species of fuchsias.

(De - 3700 à -490 millions d'années)
Entre la formation de la Terre ( -4,5 milliards d'années) et les premiers témoignages de vie, il se passe presque un milliard d'années. Pendant les 3 milliards d'années suivants, la vie reste confidentielle et aquatique. Dans l'eau, les organismes se diversifient et se complexifient. D'abord (vers 580 millions d'années) des organismes marins au corps mou, puis les organismes aux structures dures - carapaces et coquilles - se développent fortement en nombre et en taille.

The origins of Terranova di Pollino date back to the 16th century , when it was founded as a fiefdom of the State of Noia (the current Noepoli ), of which it belonged until the subversion of feudalism, and from which it took the name of Terranovella di Noia until the nineteenth century , when it was changed to its current name. The Pignatelli , princes of Noia, decided to favor the settlement of settlers in their vast estates, to increase the economy of the fief, and so Terranovella, that is a newly settled land , was the advanced point of their agricultural colonization. After the unification of Italy, Terranova was part of the district of Lagonegro and of the Mandamento di Noepoli
The origin of this song is unknown and it has been attributed to many. It's been around for over 80 years and recorded by many over the years. To name just a few, Bob Dylan, Gene Autry, The Pine Ridge Boys, Johnny Cash, Carly Simon, Willie Nelson, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Brian Wilson, Boxcar Willie, B.B. King and more recently The Dead South.
It can be a lullaby, a love song or a song of heartbreak.
This recording is by The Dead South a folk-bluegrass musical ensemble from, Saskatchewan, Canada. They are no strangers to New Mexico.

In Greek mythology, Crocus was a beloved companion of the god Hermes. Unfortunately, Crocus was killed accidentally by Hermes during a discus game. As Hermes mourned, he transformed Crocus' body into a flower.
We no longer understand how God can fill the world with himself. For people of Western societies, the world has gradually become empty of meaning. . . . Gone is the intelligence of love capable of grasping the truth and beauty of creation from its origins, from God who contains it and nourishes it with himself. Instead, it has been replaced by a skeptical and cold rationality that moves among things without penetrating into their deepest roots.
