The Baztan valley is a land of noblemen, indianos who returned after making their fortunes in the Americas, smugglers, shepherds and pilgrims who travelled to Santiago along the alternative route that crosses the valley.
Baztan is an evergreen valley with an Atlantic climate and is also the largest municipality in Navarre, covering 374 square kilometres, 15 towns/villages and dozens of caserĂos (farmhouses) that dot a landscape of cultivated fields, woods, and meadows in which livestock graze.
There are several medieval palaces and noble houses in the valley, all of them well kept and of great beauty.
The visitor to Arrraioz is met by the haughty figure of the Palace of Jauregizar, a tower of medieval origin with a wooden platform at the top. The road to Ziga leads up to the belvedere of the Baztan, which offers excellent views over the area.
The commercial and administrative centre of Baztan is Elizondo, with its noble houses, palaces and monumental and religious buildings. Baztan has interesting museums such as the ethnographic museum dedicated to Jorge Oteiza (Elizondo) or the Santxotena sculpture museum (Arizkun). It also has delightful spots such as the Xorroxin waterfall (Erratzu), the dolmens of Izpegi and the megaliths of Erratzu-Aldudes.
On the way to the border with France, a road at the top of the Otsondo pass leads to Urdazubi/Urdax, where you can see a mill, a monastery and the spectacular caves of Ikaburu. A guided tour reveals beautiful formations of stalactites and stalagmites and the flowing waters of the Urtxuma, a stream that runs through the caves.
Caves of Urdazubi/Urdax are linked by road or a signposted path to those of Zugarramurdi, which history and legend have always associated with witchcraft.

El Valle de Baztan es tierra de hidalgos, de indianos que volvieron de ultramar, de contrabandistas, de pastores y de peregrinos que acudĂan a Santiago por la ruta alternativa que atraviesa el valle.
El Baztan es un valle siempre verde, de clima cantábrico, el municipio más extenso de Navarra, con 374 kilĂłmetros cuadrados, que incluye 15 pueblos y decenas de caserĂos que salpican un paisaje formado por prados en los que pasta el ganado, cultivos y bosques.
Son numerosos los palacios medievales y señoriales que adornan las localidades baztanesas, todas de gran belleza y cuidado caserĂo.
Arraioz recibe al visitante con la altiva figura del palacio de Jauregizar, una torre de origen medieval con cadalso de madera en la parte superior. Si se toma el desvĂo a Ziga, se asciende al mirador de Baztan, que ofrece una bella panorámica de la zona.
El centro comercial y administrativo de Baztan es Elizondo, con sus caserones, palacios y edificios monumentales y religiosos. Baztan cuenta con interesantes museos como el etnográfico Jorge Oteiza (Elizondo) o el museo escultórico Santxotena (Arizkun), y con bellos rincones donde perderse como la cascada de Xorroxin (Erratzu), los dólmenes de Izpegi y los megalitos de Erratzu-Aldudes.
En el camino que lleva a la frontera con Francia, un primer desvĂo en las Ăşltimas rampas del puerto de Otsondo conduce hasta Urdazubi/Urdax, donde puede visitarse el molino, el monasterio y la espectacular cueva de Ikaburu. Una visita guiada permite contemplar bellas formaciones de estalactitas y estalagmitas y escuchar el murmullo del Urtxuma, un riachuelo que discurre por el interior de la gruta.
La cuevas de Urdazubi/Urdax está unida por carretera o por una senda señalizada con la de Zugarramurdi, que la historia y la leyenda han ligado para siempre a la brujerĂa.
Asteroid Bennu's boulder-covered surface gives it protection against small meteoroid impacts, according to observations of craters by NASA's OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer) spacecraft.
Bennu is a “rubble-pile” asteroid, meaning that it formed from the debris of a much larger asteroid that was destroyed by an ancient impact. Fragments from the collision coalesced under their own weak gravity to form Bennu.
This image shows asteroid Bennu’s boulder-covered surface. It was taken by the PolyCam camera on NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft on April 11, 2019 from a distance of 2.8 miles (4.5 km). The field of view is 211 ft (64.4 m), and the large boulder in the upper right corner of the image is 50 ft (15.4 m) tall. When the image was taken, the spacecraft was over the southern hemisphere, pointing PolyCam far north and to the west.

La synagogue de Lausanne a retrouvé ses couleurs d'origine
RestaurationA l’issue de trois mois de chantier, l’édifice lausannois est rutilant, proche de son aspect de 1910. No. 5363.
"Dans la culture judaïque, l’usage est de souhaiter à celui qui fête son anniversaire qu’il vive «jusqu’à 120 ans!» C’est ce qu’espèrent les restaurateurs de la synagogue de Lausanne concernant leurs travaux, terminés cette semaine. Il s’agit de la restauration la plus complète (1900 heures de travail) que l’édifice ait connue depuis son inauguration, en 1910. «Comme lors des restaurations précédentes, rien n’a été surpeint, nous avons retrouvé le décor d’origine, jubile Alain Besse, restaurateur d’art de l’atelier veveysan Sinopie. Les murs sont d’une polychromie extraordinaire, complètement assumée à l’époque.»
En effet, les peintures murales à l’huile, nettoyées en profondeur et complétées à l’acrylique par endroits, présentent un patchwork d’une étonnante gaieté et d’un rare éclectisme. «Nous avons compté quelque quinze types de décors différents», raconte Fanny Pilet, associée d’Alain Besse.
C’est le peintre Otto Alfred Briffod qui signe ces motifs – même si c’est la griffe de l’un de ses employés, un certain Kehrly, que l’on retrouve derrière le tabernacle! L’artiste lausannois, ami d’Auberjonois, a signé d’autres décorations en ville, dont certaines ont été recouvertes, notamment à la salle des Cantons, à la BCV, au Palais de Rumine et au Restaurant du Vieil Ouchy. Les lustres, les bancs et les vitraux de la synagogue datent également du début du siècle et ont bénéficié du même coup de jeune.
Un legs d’«Osiris»
Mais ce ne sont pas uniquement ses ornementations qui font de la synagogue de Lausanne un édifice unique. «Sa situation en ville est, elle aussi, particulière, explique Karen Zysman, architecte en chef et responsable des locaux pour la Communauté israélite de Lausanne et du canton de Vaud (CILV). Isolée (ndlr: au début du siècle, le quartier de Georgette commençait à se développer et des vignes s’étalaient au-delà du carrefour), elle est construite sur un promontoire qui permet de ventiler le sous-sol.» Karen Zysman insiste aussi sur la rapidité avec laquelle elle fut érigée: un an, entre août 1909 et septembre 1910.
L’architecte Charles Bonjour, habitué des églises protestantes, signe les plans de l’édifice avec ses associés Oulevey et van Dorsser. En fait, c’est un modèle réduit d’une autre synagogue: celle de la rue Buffault, à Paris (le porche aux trois portes, la rose et les tables de la loi sont quasi identiques). Non que ces messieurs l’apprécient particulièrement. La volonté posthume de Daniel Iffla, dit «Osiris», les oblige à reprendre l’architecture romano-byzantine du bâtiment parisien, en condition au legs de 50 000 francs à la Ville pour financer le bâtiment (qui aura coûté quelque 300 000 francs, terrain compris).
Le mécène bordelais, juif séfarade et amateur de figures illustres, a aussi financé le monument à Guillaume Tell, à Montbenon. Il voulait remercier le chef-lieu vaudois de l’accueil réservé à l’armée de Bourbaki en 1871, mais aussi permettre à la communauté juive du canton de se doter de locaux dignes de ce nom (Genève a construit sa synagogue cinquante ans plus tôt). Avant 1910, celle-ci se réunissait dans l’appartement d’un des siens à la rue du Grand-Chêne. Mais la communauté n’échappe pas à l’essor phénoménal (+37%) de la démographie lausannoise entre 1900 et 1910.
Financée par les membres
Aujourd’hui, la CILV, forte de 600 familles, soit quelque 2000 membres, se porte bien, à entendre son président, Alain Schauder. «Ces travaux, c’est une vraie fierté. Ils montrent que notre communauté s’investit, continue son développement.» Car ce sont les membres, ainsi qu’un sponsor anonyme, qui ont financé la restauration, devisée à plusieurs centaines de milliers de francs. Ils pourront découvrir le résultat – «un bijou!» – pour Roch Hachana, le Nouvel-An juif. Comme un symbole, ce renouveau marquera le début de l’an 5776. (24 heures)

J'avais pris mon zoom 70-200 pour essayer de le prendre en vol quand il arrive. Vraiment trop difficile car je suis à 6 m de l'auge en grès et il arrive caché par la végétation autour. Du coup j'ai posté cette photo pour montrer un peu les coulisses de mes récentes photos de geais au bord de la rivière (à droite du mur et 2 m plus bas)
The origins of the abbey of Rivalta Scrivia date back to 16 January 1180, when Folco, abbot of the Cistercian abbey of Lucedio in the Vercelli area, promised Oberto, bishop of Tortona, to make the church of Rivalta an abbey of his order and to respect the rights of the church of Tortona.

L’origine de ces fameuses expressions : « Prendre des vessies pour des lanternes »
Voilà une drôle d’expression pour indiquer que l’on se fait des illusions ! Afin de comprendre son origine, il nous faut revenir au XIIIe siècle, époque où l’on utilisait la locution « vendre vessie pour lanterne ».
La légende raconte qu’autrefois les vessies de porc ou de bœuf étaient séchées pour servir de récipients. Elles pouvaient même être utilisées comme lanternes, grâce à la finesse de leur paroi qui laissait passer la lumière d’une bougie.
Il aurait alors été facile de faire croire à une personne candide que ces vessies étaient de vraies lanternes. Certains indiquent que la confusion n’était pas tant sur les objets que sur leur valeur, et que les marchands pouvaient user de la crédulité de certains acheteurs pour leur vendre des vessies.
D’autres sources rappellent que, dans l’expression « vendre vessie pour lanterne », le mot lanterne signifierait des « absurdités », des « balivernes ». La vessie ferait alors référence à l’air ou au vent. Selon le sens de ces mots, cela voudrait donc dire « vendre du vent ».
Quelle que soit la bonne explication, nous pouvons constater que, même au XIIIe siècle, il était d’usage de chercher à prendre son prochain pour un pigeon.

Le lac de Longemer est un lac de barrage morainique, donc formé par des amas rocheux à la fois fins et grossiers d'origine glaciaire, traversé par la Vologne. Il s'étire sur plus de 76 ha dans le sens de la vallée. Ses dimensions maximales sont de 1 950 m de longueur sur 550 m de largeur. Sa profondeur dépasse 30 mètres.
ahh i've been waiting since last summerrr to do this but had to wait till school started to get the projector. i'm doing more of these tomorrow. i was going through my middle school photos (i projected stars on someone when i was about 12 or 13) and they are horribbleee. it's cool to do the same shoot twice with a 4 year gap inbetween and see how i've improved.... :) more to come
Like any good tourist, I had to take a picture of this historic monument. It's not anything too brilliant, or magnificent, but it is a quaint, even respectable landmark to commemorate Active World's narrative of when the world was born, and who was its first citizen. There's a bit more that would be interesting to know, such as who this first citizen was in the real world, and what their relation to Active Worlds was. Was this Cy person part of the team that created Active Worlds, or is this the first unique individual that signed up to become a citizen? A lot of questions, just from one statue and its simple homage.
Note: I have come to consider places like Worlds and Active Worlds as being open virtual worlds. These were the pioneers of virtual spaces on the internet, and among the first to quote Snow Crash, even begin to coin 'metaverse' and web3.0 in trying to explain what they are. Therefore, any group that, in a general sense, speaks of themselves as an open world, open life, virtual world, web3.0, or hypergrid, seems appropriate appropriate groups to add them to. After all, these virtual worlds were very much ahead of the game and developed a lot of the aspects that make up our virtual world experiences even to this day. Not only did they have teleportation to different regions, but to different servers, even without utilizing a hypergate, but simply by teleporting to that server, as long as you had that server's coordinates. If you don't agree with this definition, let me know, and I won't post these in your group.

Wanted to update my comics Copperhead, and in doing so figured I’d make a “grittier” one as well for the fun of it.
Arkham Origins: Old fig, threw her in for the sake of it
Gritty: a more subdued take. Wanted dark green instead of olive but couldn’t find any hands
Comics: my favorite of these; just over the top enough to work.

Some snowflakes have strange origin stories, and this is one of them. Using a few simple physics rules, let’s try to unravel the mystery here!
The original center of this snowflake is the blobby flower-like shape in the middle. The crystal started as a solid hexagonal prism, but at a certain point, cavities started forming in the prism facets (the rectangular sides) by the same physics rule that causes branches to form: whatever sticks out the farthest, grows the fastest. Conversely, whatever is furthest away from the water vapour will grow the slowest. The center of the prism facets can grow more slowly than the rest of snowflake, causing cavities to form in the right conditions.
Anywhere you see a brighter area in the center of this snowflake, you have multiple layers of ice. It appears brighter because you have more reflective surfaces sending light back to the camera. This clue is important to figure out what is happening: a molecular dance between one and two layers of ice. This is where things get interesting.
See the top-left part of the blob flower? It grows to a full cavity that encompasses three sides of the crystal. The other sides, however, seal back off and become solid again. This means one side of the snowflake was growing with a stable position in the wind and not tumbling about as much, so more water vapour was available to one side than the other, changing the way it grew. Which side was facing the wind? The answer is the same to the question “which sides grew the longest and therefore the fastest?”. Higher humidity closed the cavities faster.
The way the branches formed here is also very cool, utilizing the “knife-edge instability”. Imagine that a cavity cuts the outgrowing sides of a snowflake into two parallel plates. What would cause one to grow faster than the other? Wind and direction could play a role, but thickness is also a critical component. Imagine two bricklayers building walls. One is required to build their wall three bricks thick, while the other is required to build their wall only one brick thick. Working at the same rate, who completes the wall the fastest? The thinner the layer, the faster it can grow outward given the same amount of “bricks” (water molecules). This is why all six branches are brighter around their starting point – they began from cavities that split the crystal into two parts.
No two snowflakes are ever the same. Even the same snowflake is in a constant state of flux – either growing or sublimating. Their uniqueness is bound by a few simple rules and endless variations; they are as beautiful to look at as they are to “figure out”. If you’d like to photograph snowflakes on your own and dive into the puzzles of how they grow, there is a comprehensive tutorial in my new book: skycrystals.ca/product/pre-order-macro-photography-the-un... - as well as other topics including composition, water droplet refractions, ultraviolet, focus stacking, editing, stereoscopic 3D and the list goes on.
