LA ST HUBERT A MERCKEGHEM :
Les origines de la cornemuse sont lointaines et difficiles à déterminer étant donné le peu de preuves archéologiques dont on dispose aujourd'hui. Elle est mentionnée dès l'époque gréco-romaine : les Grecs l'appelaient ἄσκαυλος / áskaulos et chez les Romains elle se nommait tibia utricularis. On suppose que la cornemuse prendrait ses origines en Égypte antique car de nombreuses représentations de chalumeaux doubles, tant chez les Grecs (aulos bicalame, de calamus « roseau en latin ») que chez les Égyptiens montrent l'importance de cet instrument. Des débris de ce dernier ont été retrouvés dans des pyramides égyptiennes datant d'environ 300 ans av. J.-C., Aristophane (≈450-386 av. J.-C.) poète comique d'Athènes s'en moquait déjà. En théorie, il serait arrivé en Europe grâce aux Grecs, puis aux Romains et au commerce avec les peuples de tout le pourtour du bassin méditerranéen. En effet, d'après Procope (fin ve s. – vers 562), cet instrument aurait été l'instrument de marche des légions romaines. Mais aucun élément matériel, ni aucune autre référence littéraire ne permet de conforter cette théorie au vu du peu de témoignages dont nous disposons.
Rechercher une origine commune entre les différentes cornemuses est aussi hypothétique qu'illusoire ; il est d'ailleurs possible que plusieurs versions de cet instrument ait été créées simultanément dans diverses régions vers la même époque ou à des époques différentes, jusque dans des régions fort éloignées les unes des autres. Il faut établir des regroupements (par exemple le continuum Europe antique-Inde) et essayer d'établir une chronologie d'après les mentions anciennes dans les documents et les découvertes archéologiques.
Instrument pastoral à l'origine, elle a développé au cours des siècles un répertoire à part entière qui culmine avec la musique de cour et la musique militaire.
L'adjonction d'un réservoir (poche) à un hautbois à anche double ou à anche simple, constitue l'une des particularités de l'instrument qui permet alors un jeu continu (similaire au souffle continu) et puissant, une autre étant l'adjonction de tuyaux complémentaires à anche simple ou double (semi-mélodique ou bourdon) amplifiant encore la puissance sonore et l'effet polyphonique.
Le joueur de cornemuse est appelé sonneur en France, mais aussi talabarder ou biniaouer en Bretagne. Il est appelé piper en Irlande et en Grande-Bretagne, píobaire en gaëlique irlandais, gaitero en Espagne, gaiteiro au Portugal.
There are many landscapes in Iceland that demonstrate the island's recent volcanic origins. Iceland lies at the north end of the mid-Atlantic rift on the most active part. The island country has many hot baths plus hot mud and geysers. Most of the electricity is generated using thermal energy. A pedestrian street in Reykjavik is heated with thermal energy pipes under the street.

Origins of the hay rake: One Ohio man with a passion for invention helped shape our community and the world. Edward Huber was just 26 when he earned his first of more than 100 patents. This blacksmith and inventor created the revolving wood hay rake in 1863. Huber moved to Ohio with his wife and started building and marketing the hay rake in 1865. More than 200,000 hay rakes flew off the shelves as farmers snapped up this invention which allowed one worker to accomplish what used to take seven or more people. This image is a modern version of the hay rake.
This is Groombridge Place again, but here you see a north-facing side door and a bridge over the moat that leads directly into the gardens. The manor house was rebuilt in 1662 and replaced an earlier manor that had origins in 1230. If you'd like to know more about its famous architect, please read under my photo 'A Crowd of White Daffodils'.
There are more photos of Groombridge Place in my album with the same name. [Explored on 1/3/2024, #207]

Three views of a peculiar connector socket... and each of those evokes something totally different to me, as the titles of the three variants can attest. And it was not even intentional at the time of the shooting. 😇
The socket consists of a matrix of 6x6 (minus the ones in the corners, so 32 in total) golden plated contacts, whose directions are alternating at 90° of each other for each row, so as to guarantee an optimal robustness of the connection, probably. The dimension of the square matrix is 4x4cm, so it complies ideally with the 3" rule of the Macro Mondays group.
For the context, this socket is part of an old electrical device. I salvaged it from an electronic waste collecting point, out of curiosity, as It didn't look like anything I had seen before. With this week's "Socket" topic, it became obvious that I could finally make good use of the "thing". Entering in a search engine some reference number I found on the object, I could trace its origin as being a "communication test device" being used by the army.
Having opened it, I was impressed by the thoughtful engineering that went into its conception. Now that the object played its role a last time, I happily returned it to the electronic junk collection point, albeit as a heap of dissembled parts. 😊

Who among us has not ever asked yourself: What are we? Where we come from? and where do we go?
A very simple and purely material response might be:
We are sea water sea we come and we will return to the sea. And it always reminds me of the connections that our internal environment with the sea.
Connections that obey biological facts of universal and eternal proportions that are unquestionable.

It was an awesome experience hiking on the glacier, traversing crevasses, exploring ice caves and breathing in the fresh air of the wide open spaces. To look up and see the origin of a waterfall on such a hike was exhilarating.
Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.

PISA... LE ORIGINI - 2° parte (2) FOTO: il bosco di San Rossore
I secoli passano, Pisa diventa un perno commerciale importante per tutto il mediterraneo occidentale,
questo nonostante la caduta dell'impero Romano.
Anche militarmente comincia ad avere coscienza di se, l'organizzazione dei Romani gli ha dato questa consapevolezza.
Pisa non subì quasi per nulla la decadenza di altre città, molto meno protette dal territorio.
Tutto questo grazie alla già citata complessità del suo sistema fluviale.
Si deve infatti ricordare come a Pisa, oltre al Serchio, in verità troppo distante dall'insediamento urbano per essere di aiuto difensivo,
vi fosse un secondo fiume che confluiva nell'Arno,
l'Auser, dal quale si staccava un ramo secondario, l'Auserclus, che proteggeva come un miracolo, la città da nord.
Prove recenti propendono per un'intrico incredibile di corsi d'acqua che spesso,
ad ogni onda di piena modificavano il territorio.
Lo stesso fiume Serchio può chiamarsi Auser, tanto era labile il concetto di corso d'acqua in quei secoli.
Tutto questo, per Pisa fu manna dal cielo... la salvezza del Creatore.
Non abbiamo elementi sufficienti, ma i primi secoli dopo Cristo passarono indenni da barbarie e soprusi.
Altro dovettero subire importanti città Italiche, flagellate da innumerevoli bande armate che,
oltre a terrore e morte si portarono dietro decessi per carestie ed epidemie devastanti.
Pisa rimase sostanzialmente immune da tali barbarie fino all'arrivo nel 569 dei nuovi invasori, i Longobardi.
La zona denominata Tuscia fu preda degli stranieri.
Pisa, grazie alla sua posizione strategica, si salvò ancora una volta.
Fonti certe c'informano che intanto, nel porto accogliente ed inespugnabile della città, una flotta di efficienti e ben assortite navi da guerra,
vegliava sulla popolazione.
Comincio a credere in un'altra velata leggenda.
Furono i Pisani ad inventare il "rostro", una sorta d'ariete fissato alla prua delle imbarcazioni per affondare le ignare navi nemiche.
La paternità è attribuita all'etrusco Piseo figlio di Tirreno.
Tutto sembra tornare alle origini.
Terra di geni ed inventori?
A me sembra così ma sono di parte, mi va di pensarlo.
Quindi non solo scambi commerciali, ma anche l'inizio di velleità guerriere che in seguito fecero grande e potente il nome di Pisa nel mondo intero.
Faccio una breve riflessione, durante la stesura della parte storica di questo lavoro, mi sono più volte immedesimato nei miei lontanissimi avi.
Potete anche non crederci, ma sono rimasto affascinato da cosa apprendevo.
Sempre veniva fuori la parte più nascosta del mio animo, l'aspetto umano delle vicissitudini.
Mi sono trovato immerso tra loro,
ed ho provato un'orgoglio palpabile nel raccontarne la storia.
Lo confesso senza il minimo indugio, sono fiero di essere Italiano, e concedetemelo, ancor di più... Pisano.
Come storico faccio pena, ma come patriota mi sento al TOP.
Detto questo, riprendiamo sperando senza annoiare, le lunghe e travagliate galoppate attraverso i secoli.
I Longobardi estesero il proprio dominio su quasi tutta la Tuscia, oggi Toscana.
Lucca prima, poi la val d'Era, fino a comprendere tutta la fascia costiera fino a Piombino e oltre furono sottomesse.
E Pisa?
Con scaltrezza, non capisco quanto ponderata,
mantenne un profilo basso, confinandosi solo al ruolo di città portuale senza retroterra, un po' come fu all'inizio della sua storia.
Siamo intorno ai primi anni del 600 D.C. e "naturalmente" col tempo, la città confluì nel regno dei Longobardi, anno 643.
Sottolineo quest'aspetto, perché ritengo importante saper convivere con altri popoli, pur mantenendo vive le proprie origini.
Tutti gli storici, ed io con loro, concordano sul fatto ineluttabile che Pisa stava assumendo una propria anima, mediando il più possibile,
con ogni espediente per la ricerca della libertà e del prestigio.
Questa sorta di tira e molla con scaramucce varie, portò ad un avvicinamento delle parti,
un patto non scritto di non belligeranza ed acume commerciale.
Per cosa?
Che diamine per il profitto, ed il dominio del Mediterraneo tutto.
"Pecunia non olet" diceva l'imperatore Vespasiano,
ad un poco lungimirante figlio stizzito verso il padre che aveva fatto costruire dei gabinetti "a pagamento" col proprio nome imperiale,
per i secoli a venire.
Dopo più di 30 anni, Pisa venne elevata a centro amministrativo di un esteso demanio regio a conduzione Longobarda.
Ma le cose non sono eterne.
Ed all'orizzonte, cupe nubi stavano solcando il cielo.
Temo che l'ombrello non sarà sufficiente.

I last photographed the Natural History Museum a little over a year ago. At the time, capturing the central hall from the first floor while the place was empty was partly down to heavy rain on the morning I visited, and partly down to sheer luck.
I’m still happy with the image I captured, but always wished I could shoot the hall from one of its upper corners; besides conveying the enormity of the museum’s scale, the perspective provides a better vantage point of the lower concourse, as well as a closer look at the incredible detail in the museum’s brickwork and the ornate architecture decorating the hall. I’d also always wished I could shoot on a sunnier day and capture a warmer tone inside the location.
I returned to the museum on a busy day, eager to tackle the challenge of removing crowds of people from an image. The technique involved continuous shooting over half an hour, and then applying script settings in Photoshop and comparing 60 shots to identify and retain only the consistent elements – the consistent elements essentially being the building itself.
I made the project trickier for myself because I was also eager to capture and blend multiple exposures – brighter exposures to ensure a sharp, clean finish to the detail in the shadows, and darker exposures to preserve as much detail as possible near the brightly lit windows – but the end result is almost exactly the image I’d had in my head: a crowded location made eerily empty in the middle of the day, leaving only the stunning 19th-century architecture of the building and the warm sunlight pouring through its windows.

Castillo de Miraflores (Piedrabuena) Ciudad Real
El castillo de Miraflores, se alza sobre un monte a las afueras de la localidad de Piedrabuena, en la provincia de Ciudad Real.
Este castillo de origen musulmán fue construido probablemente en el siglo IX, y existen referencias documentales cristianas del siglo XI.
Aún se conservan muros de más de 6 metros, el arco de acceso, parte de una bóveda y la base de la torre, así como diversas estancias
Castle of Miraflores (Piedrabuena) Ciudad Real
The castle of Miraflores, is perched on a hill on the outskirts of the town of Piedrabuena in the province of Ciudad Real.
This castle was built by Muslim origin probably in the ninth century, and there are Christian references from the eleventh century.
Walls are still more than 6 meters, the arc of access, from a vault and the base of the tower, as well as various stays.

Le Hanseatiske Museum de Bergen est situé au Finnegården 1a, à Bergen sur la côte sud-ouest, en Norvège.
Ce Musée hanséatique occupe l'un des plus vieux bâtiments en bois à Bergen. On peut marcher à travers ce bâtiment de 1704, la seule maison sur Bryggen qui a conservé son intérieur d'origine avec les logements situés à l'étage tandis que le rez-de-chaussée comprenait les bureaux et les entrepôts, où séchait le poisson.
Le musée a été ouvert en 1872 et dispose d'ailleurs de deux maisons de commerce, une face à la mer et une à l'arrière de l'immeuble. Meublé dans le style du 18e siècle, le musée montre la vie des marchands hanséatiques, i.e. comment les marchands allemands de la Ligue hanséatique ont vécu et travaillé à Bergen. En effet, de 1350 à 1750, ces marchands ont dirigé le commerce du poisson et du grain entre les villes de la ligue, à partir de leur bureau de Bergen.
Pendant 4 siècles jusqu'en 1754, en tant que comptoir important de l'empire commercial de la Ligue hanséatique, Bergen était donc un centre de commerce prospère qui reliait la Norvège au reste de l'Europe. Bryggen, son quai hanséatique situé sur la rive nord de la baie de Vågen et du port de Bergen, est le témoin le plus marquant de cette époque.
Les anciens entrepôts en bois qui longent la rive nord du port intérieur étaient jadis surnommés "Tyskebriggen" (quai allemand). Depuis 1979, le site est classé au patrimoine de l'UNESCO (WHL-59). Aujourd'hui, de nombreux restaurants, des pubs, des boutiques d'artisanat et des musées historiques se sont installés ces dernières années.
Bergen est entourée de montagnes et fjords, dont le Sognefjord, qui est le plus long et le plus large du pays. Son quartier de Bryggen se distingue par ses maisons en bois colorées sur le vieux quai. Le funiculaire de Fløibanen emmène les visiteurs au sommet du mont Fløyen, avec sa vue panoramique et ses nombreux sentiers de randonnée.

"At this the woman said to the serpent: “We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden. But God has said about the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden: ‘You must not eat from it, no, you must not touch it; otherwise you will die.’” At this the serpent said to the woman: “You certainly will not die. For God knows that in the very day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and bad." - Genesis 3:2-5
