Some climbers ascending the rock at Hay Tor, situated in Devon's Dartmoor.
Idetordoune (1566), Ittor Doune (1687), Idetor (1737), Eator Down (1762) and Itterdown (1789) are a few recorded examples of earlier names by which Haytor was known. The name Haytor is of comparatively recent origin, and is probably a corruption of its old name and that of the Haytor Hundred, which covered the coastal area between the River Teign and River Dart, itself now considered to have been named after a lost village located somewhere between Totnes and Newton Abbot.
In the 19th century steps were made to allow pedestrians up to the top of the tor and a metal handrail fixed to allow tourists easier access to the summit. This was not entirely welcomed and in 1851, a Dr Croker complained about the rock steps that had been cut "to enable the enervated and pinguedinous scions of humanity of this wonderful nineteenth century to gain the summit". The handrail was removed in the 1960s due to it rusting: the stumps of the uprights are still embedded in the rock
Fontarrabie, Fuenterrabía en espagnol et Hondarribia en langue basque, est située à la frontière entre la France et l'Espagne, séparée d'Hendaye et de la France par l'embouchure de la rivière Bidassoa. C'est une station balnéaire prisée, une ville au riche patrimoine et un petit port de pêche très actif, géré par la Cofradia de Mareantes de San Pedro, confrérie de pêcheurs dont l'origine remonte à 1321. Les installations portuaires sont modernes et disposent d'un marché à la criée, de chambres frigorifiques, de balances de pesage, de plates-formes pour la charge des camions, d'une usine de glace, etc. Même si l'activité a bien décliné ces dernières années, le port de Fontarrabie reste l'un des plus importants de la province basque du Guipuzcoa.
Les bateaux qui composent la flotte de cette confrérie sont pour la plupart enregistrés en entreprises indépendantes. Ils pratiquent la pêche côtière dans le golfe de Gascogne et le long des côtes françaises. Ils utilisent plusieurs techniques dites non agressives en fonction des espèces à capturer : la senne également appelée bolinche, la ligne classique avec des appâts vivants ou la pêche à la traine avec des appâts artificiels. Ils ramènent selon la saison, anchois, thons, bonites, merlus, sardines, chinchards, etc. Les sorties en mer durent généralement moins de 24 heures.
Kaiserstuhl, a small mountain range of volcanic origin but also a masterpiece of landscape architecture. During the last centuries people built hundreds of terraces for agriculture. At the beginning they were growing mainly corn, fruits and vegetables. Today 99% of the area is used vor winegrowing.
Overlooking the colorful vine terraces near Oberbergen. The mountain in the background is called Totenkopf (skull) and marks the highest point of the Kaiserstuhl.

A ray of sunshine among the haze. Lake Verdarolo is located at 1395 m. above sea level in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. It is part of the Emilian Regional Park of One Hundred Lakes. It is a lake of glacial origin. Its name derives from the intense green color of its waters.
EN: In 1981, the CP 1907 left the halls of Sorefame north of Lisbon. Built at that time for the Portuguese railroad, the new, powerful locomotives of French origin were eagerly awaited. Large parts of the network were not electrified and the locomotives were urgently needed for travel time reductions and heavy trains in fast passenger service.
Over the years, however, modernization in Portugal did not stop. Many lines were electrified. Thus, the 3 remaining type 1900 locomotives play only a minor role today. It is all the more pleasing that the new owner Medway continues to need the locomotives or even refurbishes locomotives that have already been withdrawn. 1907 is the first locomotive that received the new Medway design a few weeks ago and shines in the evening light on its journey from Setubál to Mineira de Neves-Corvo.

DE: 1981 verliess die CP 1907 die Hallen von Sorefame nördlich von Lissabon. Damals für die portugiesische Eisenbahn gebaut, wartete man sehnlichst auf die neuen, starken Lokomotiven französischen Ursprungs. Weite Teile des Netzes waren nicht elektrifiziert und die Loks wurden für Fahrzeitkürzungen und schwere Züge im schnellen Personenverkehr dringend benötigt.
Mit den Jahren hielt jedoch auch die Modernisierung in Portugal nicht an und viele Strecken wurden elektrifiziert. So spielen die 3 verbleibenden Loks des Typs 1900 heute nur noch ein untergeordnete Rolle. Umso erfreulicher ist es, dass der neue Besitzer Medway die Loks weiterhin benötigt bzw. sogar bereits abgestellte Loks aufarbeitet. 1907 ist hierbei die erste Lok, welche das neue Medway-Design vor wenigen Wochen erhalten hat und auf ihrer Fahrt von Setubál zur Mineira de Neves-Corvo im Abendlicht erstrahlt.
l'affresco rappresenta il Genio del proprietario nell'atto di compiere un sacrificio, ai lati i Lari danzanti e alla base il serpente Agathodemone, protettore della casa.
L'Agathodemone è un demone della mitologia dell'Antica Grecia.
Presente nella mitologia romana diventa una specie di genius loci, ma più che altro familiare, associato anche alla fortuna, alla salute e alla saggezza.
Il serpente era comunque all'origine il simbolo dello spirito della Terra.

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.
Picture taken just a minutes after the sunset in La Garrofera Beach from Valencia, this wonderful natural and wild beach belongs to the Albufera Natural Park.
On the technical side, say that I only used a neutral gradient three steps filter.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Wednesday. :)

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]
The origins of the ‘remembrance poppy’ are to be found in this poem by John McCrae, a Canadian army doctor.
At the time, Major John McCrae was working in a field dressing station on the road between Ypres and Boezinge,
in Flanders (Belgium).
In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
...
(John McCrae)

This photo, taken by Freya, was really taken in Flanders fields because that's where we live.

Very good night to everyone.
York, England looking NE from the City Wall, near the railway station. The brown spire in the distance is the Catholic St Wilfrid; York Minster is visible behind and to the right.
York is about 200 miles north of London. There are ~200,000 people in York & its surrounding area, ~1 in 10 is a student. The city is known for landmarks such as York Minster & the City Walls.
York has, since Roman times, been defended by walls of one form or another. To this day, substantial portions of the walls remain, and York has more miles of intact wall than any other city in England. They are known as York City Walls, the Bar Walls & the Roman walls (though this last is a misnomer as very little of the extant stonework is of Roman origin, and the course of the wall has been substantially altered since Roman times). The walls are ~13 feet (4m) high & 6 feet (1.8m) wide.

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.
Origines de la vie, Précambrien- Cambrien
(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.
