La Aljafería (en árabe: قصر الجعفرية Qasr al-Ya`fariyya) es un palacio fortificado construido en Zaragoza en la segunda mitad del siglo XI por iniciativa de Al-Muqtadir como residencia de los reyes hudíes de Saraqusta. Este palacio de recreo (llamado entonces «Qasr al-Surur» o Palacio de la Alegría) refleja el esplendor alcanzado por el reino taifa en el periodo de su máximo apogeo político y cultural.
Su importancia radica en que es el único testimonio conservado de un gran edificio de la arquitectura islámica hispana de la época de las Taifas. De modo que, si se conserva un magnífico ejemplo del Califato de Córdoba, su Mezquita (s. X), y otro del canto de cisne de la cultura islámica en Al-Ándalus, del s. XIV, La Alhambra de Granada, se debe incluir en la tríada de la arquitectura hispano-musulmana La Aljafería de Zaragoza (s. XI) como muestra de las realizaciones del arte taifa, época intermedia de reinos independientes anterior a la llegada de los almorávides.
Las soluciones adoptadas en la ornamentación de la Aljafería, como la utilización de arcos mixtilíneos y de los salmeres en «S», la extensión del ataurique calado en grandes superficies o la esquematización y abstracción progresiva de las yeserías de carácter vegetal, influyeron decisivamente en el arte almorávide y almohade tanto del Magreb como de la Península Ibérica. Asimismo, la transición de la decoración hacia motivos más geométricos está en la base del arte nazarí.
Tras la reconquista de Zaragoza en 1118 por Alfonso I El Batallador pasó a ser residencia de los reyes cristianos de Aragón, con lo que la Aljafería se convirtió en el principal foco difusor del mudéjar aragonés. Fue utilizada como residencia regia por Pedro IV el Ceremonioso y posteriormente, en la planta principal, se llevó a cabo la reforma que convirtió estas estancias en palacio de los Reyes Católicos en 1492. En 1593 experimentó otra reforma que la convertiría en fortaleza militar, primero según diseños renacentistas (que hoy se pueden observar en su entorno, foso y jardines) y más tarde como acuartelamiento de regimientos militares. Sufrió reformas continuas, y grandes desperfectos, sobre todo con los Sitios de Zaragoza de la Guerra de la Independencia hasta que finalmente fue restaurada en la segunda mitad del siglo XX y actualmente acoge las Cortes de Aragón.
En su origen la construcción se hizo extramuros de la muralla romana, en el llano de la saría o lugar donde los musulmanes desarrollaban los alardes militares conocido como La Almozara. Con la expansión urbana a través de los años, el edificio ha quedado dentro de la ciudad. Se ha podido respetar a su alrededor un pequeño entorno ajardinado que le aísla incluso de la autopista que pasa a escasos metros de allí.

The Aljafería Palace (Arabic:قصر الجعفرية Qasr Aljafariya, Spanish: Palacio de la Aljafería) is a fortified medieval Islamic palace built during the second half of the 11th century in the Moorish taifa of Zaragoza of Al-Andalus, present day Zaragoza, Spain. It was the residence of the Banu Hud dynasty during the era of Abu Jaffar Al-Muqtadir after abolishing Banu Tujibi of Kindah dynasty. the palace reflects the splendor attained by the kingdom of the taifa of Zaragoza at the height of its grandeur. The palace currently contains the Cortes (regional parliament) of the autonomous community of Aragon.
The structure holds unique importance in that it is the only conserved testimony of a large building of Spanish Islamic architecture of the era of the Taifas (independent kingdoms).
After the capture of Zaragoza in 1118 by Alfonso I of Aragon, the Aljaferia became the residence of the Christian kings of the Kingdom of Aragon and as such was converted into the focal point for spread of the Mudéjar Architecture of Aragon. It was the birthplace of Saint Isabel of Portugal in the year 1271. It was used as the royal residence by Peter IV of Aragon and subsequently, on the principal building site, a renovation was carried out that converted these chambers into the palace of the Catholic Monarchs in 1492. In 1593, the structure experienced another renovation that converted it into a military base, first according to Renaissance designs (which today can be observed in its moat and gardens) and later as military quarters. The building suffered continuous alterations and considerable imperfections, above all with the Siege of Zaragoza during the Peninsular War until it was finally restored in the second half of the 20th century and currently it houses the Cortes or autonomous community legislative assembly of Aragon.
In the original construction, extra ramparts were made in the open field surrounding the Aljaferia. With urban expansion over the years, the building has remained inside of the city. Yet the city of Zaragoza has not been able to honor the landscaped surroundings of the Aljaferia. A freeway passes only a few meters away.

Wall
Lasiommata megera (LASS-ee-oh-may-tuh muh-JEE-ruh)
Wingspan
45 - 53mm
Checklist Number
59.002
Family:NymphalidaeRafinesque, 1815
Subfamily:SatyrinaeBoisduval, 1833
Tribe:ElymniiniHerrich-Schäffer, 1864
Genus:LasiommataWestwood, 1841
Subgenus:
Species:megera(Linnaeus, 1767)
Introduction
The Wall gets its name from the characteristic behaviour of resting with wings two-thirds open on any bare surface, including bare ground and, of course, walls! Many people will have come across this butterfly on footpaths, especially in coastal areas, where the butterfly flies up when disturbed, before setting again a few metres ahead.
The basking behaviour of this butterfly allows it to benefit from the full warmth of the sun whose rays shine directly on the butterfly, but also get reflected back onto the butterfly from whichever surface it is resting on. This habit allows the butterfly to raise its body temperature sufficiently high for it to fly. In particularly hot weather, however, such basking is avoided and the butterfly may even retreat to a suitably-shaded spot to avoid overheating.
This species was once found throughout England, Wales, Ireland and parts of Scotland. Today, however, is a very different picture, with this species suffering severe declines over the last several decades. It is now confined to primarily-coastal regions and has been lost from many sites in central, eastern and south-east England. In Scotland it is confined to coastal areas in the south-west of the country. It is also found on the Isle of Man and Channel Islands. This butterfly is found in relatively small colonies that are self-contained although some individuals will wander, allowing the species to quickly colonise suitable nearby sites.
Taxonomy Notes
Ball (1914) uses the name f. filipluma to describe specimens of the summer generation, differentiated by their scale formation.
Verity (1911a) uses the name ssp. caledonia to describe the race from Scotland which, he says, differ in the width and intensity of the black markings and very broad marginal band. The base of the hindwing being entirely blackened.
Lasiommata megera
This species was first defined in Linnaeus (1767) as shown here (type locality: Austria and Denmark).
Conservation Status
There has been a severe and worrying decline of inland populations, with most remaining populations now being found in coastal areas. This species is therefore a priority for conservation efforts.
Habitat
This species is now found primarily in coastal areas, especially unimproved grassland, wasteland, cliff edges and hedgerows.
The first generation of adults emerge in early May, peaking at the end of May and early June, or a little later in the north of England and Scotland. They give rise to a second brood that emerges at the end of July, or mid-August further north. There are 2 generations each year and, on occasion, a small 3rd generation may appear in October.
Imago
The male of this species is territorial and will inhabit a particular area, such as a path, hedgerow or roadside verge, waiting for a passing female. Males will typically perch in a favoured position but will, in sunny and warm conditions, adopt a strategy of patrolling in order to find a mate. All passing insects are investigated and rival males will fly high into the air before coming back to the ground a few seconds later.
The female is much more sedentary and the less-conspicuous of the two sexes. After a brief courtship a pair will mate before disappearing into surrounding vegetation. Both sexes are avid nectar feeders and will feed from any available flower.
Adults feed primarily on Daisy (Bellis perennis), Fleabane (Pulicaria dysenterica), Hawkweeds (Hieracium/Hypochoeris), Knapweeds (Centaurea spp.), Marjoram (Origanum vulgare), Ragged Robin (Lychnis flos-cuculi), Ragwort (Senecio jacobaea), Thistles (Cirsium spp. and Carduus spp.), Water Mint (Mentha aquatica) and Yarrow (Achillea millefolium).
Ovum
The spherical eggs are laid singly, or occasionally in twos and threes, in various positions, including the leaves of the foodplant, exposed roots and nearby vegetation. Eggs are pale green when first laid, becoming more translucent as the larva develops within. Sites for egg-laying are typically sheltered and warm compared to their surroundings, and include grass clumps, rabbit scrapes and hoof prints from cattle. This stage lasts around 10 days.
Larva
After emerging, the young larva typically eats its eggshell before feeding on the leaves of the foodplant. Larvae become more mobile as they mature and will move from plant to plant as needed. Larvae typically feed at night, but occasionally feed during the day. This stage lasts around 4 weeks for those larvae that do not overwinter, and there are 3 moults in total.
The primary larval foodplants are Bents (various) (Agrostis spp.), Cock's-foot (Dactylis glomerata), False Brome (Brachypodium sylvaticum), Tor-grass (Brachypodium pinnatum), Wavy Hair-grass (Deschampsia flexuosa) and Yorkshire-fog (Holcus lanatus).
Pupa
The green pupa is formed head down, attached by the cremaster to the foodplant or nearby vegetation and is extremely well camouflaged. This stage lasts around 2 weeks.
Let's face it. Life is actually like that sometimes. There are times when you really want - you really need - someone to walk with you, and there's no one there. Either they won't or they can't. Sometimes people who care about us would like to walk with us through what we're going through, but they just can't; they don't understand, they don't know how to help, they're too busy with their own issues, or they're just not there for any one of a hundred reasons. Maybe as you're listening today, you're just tired of walking alone.
What I'm about to say may sound too good to be true, but I wouldn't offer you false hope. You don't ever have to walk alone again. The reason that is not just a hollow hope is because it doesn't depend on the love of some human who may be there or may not be. It depends on the love of the God who made you - who is always there.
Listen to the ironclad promise of Jesus Christ in Hebrews 13:5. It's our word for today from the Word of God. "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." He says never. He's offering you a "never leave you" love. Some of Jesus' last words on earth to those who belong to Him are these: "Surely I am with you always" (Matthew 28:20). After listing every conceivable force on earth, or in heaven, or in hell that might take His love away, Romans 8:39says: "Nothing in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
But He loves you so much He wasn't willing to lose you, so He sent Jesus. That's His one and only Son, and He sent Him to die for the sin that separates you from Him. So He could forgive you, so you could live in His love, so you could be in heaven with Him forever. And now that love is working inside your heart, drawing you His direction. This can't be a one-way love. You have to open up to what He died to give you, by telling Him that you're placing the rest of your life in His hands; hands that bear eternal evidence of His love for you. You can tell when you see the print of the nails there.
With Jesus in your life, will you ever feel lonely again? Sure you will. There'll be lonely times, but you'll never be alone again. You have His word on it.
The Green Crested Lizard is 550mm in length, with a long hanging tail making up four fifths of its length. It has a jagged crest on its neck which more closely resemble hairs, as opposed to the crest of its close relative, B. cristatella, which more closely resembles the points on a crown. The crest consists of elongated scales, although it is flabby like skin.

The head is square in shape, and there is a soft sack under the chin. It has large, flexible eyelids made of fine speckled scales.

# Now; some individuals engage transition within physical focus in what appears to be a more dramatic manner, in which they may generate what you would view as unusual experiences. Some generate the experience that you term to be Alzheimer’s dis-ease, which is actually an individual generating transition in a concentrated manner within physical focus, in which the individual is not focusing their attention in merely this one manifestation or this one area of consciousness. Therefore !, to you they appear to be drifting or not present.
Einige Personen sind auf eine anscheinend dramatischere Art im physischen Fokus in Transition und machen vielleicht für euch ungewöhnliche Erfahrungen. Einige erfahren etwas, das ihr Alzheimer nennt, als eine ganz konzentrierte Transition im physischen Fokus, in der die Person seine Aufmerksamkeit nicht nur auf diese eine Manifestation oder diesen einen
Bewusstseinsbereich richtet. Deswegen kommt es euch so vor als würde sie keinen Halt haben oder wäre nicht gegenwärtig.

Per correr miglior acque alza le vele
omai la navicella del mio ingegno,
che lascia dietro a sé mar sì crudele;
e canterò di quel secondo regno
dove l'umano spirito si purga
e di salire al ciel diventa degno.
Ma qui la morta poesì resurga,
o sante Muse, poi che vostro sono;
e qui Calïopè alquanto surga,
seguitando il mio canto con quel suono
di cui le Piche misere sentiro
lo colpo tal, che disperar perdono.

Shot this morning in the lake sammamish state park, south of Lake Sammamish. i arrived there around 6:45 am. stayed about two hours observing the birds. more animals compared to marymoor park, but nature here is far less interesting in my opinion. fog over the water wasn't that big either, but fine enough to have good bird shots. as yesterday morning, i only carried two lenses. the 70-200 f4 L and my big 100-400 f4.5-5.6 L. Since birds were the main goal this morning, i only used the latter.
it's actually the first time i'm concentrating at catching birds in flight. i understand what it feels now when i succeed at doing so. it's immensely satisfactory.

After two months of volcano eruptions in Iceland, Fimmvörðuháls from March 21 - April 13. and then Eyjafjallajökull from April 14 to May 23. Many great adventures and phototrips, I finally got the change do do what I really love about photograpy, SEASCAPES!.
The sunset and clouds were not so dramatic this weekend, but I also like seascapes during "blue hour" and minimalism scenes. The natural rock sculptures Reynisdrangar, at Vik in Myrdal, are usually been photographed from the other side, the eas side, so I prefer the west side of them. The waves on this coastline in Reynisfjara area often huge, and sometimes deadly, but on this night however the ocean was strangely calm, my boots got flushed anyway but that's a different story.

La mesquita blava o del sultà Ahmed (en turc Sultanahmet Camii), a Istanbul, Turquia, és una obra de Sedefhar Mehmet Ağa, un deixeble de l'arquitecte Mimar Sinan. Està situada enfront d'església de Santa Sofia separades ambdues per un bell espai enjardinat, i és l'única a Istanbul que posseïx 6 minarets.
La mesquita va ser construïda durant el regnat del catorzè sultà otomà, Ahmet I, entre 1609 i 1616, en temps de decadència otomana. És la mesquita més gran i fastuosa d'Istanbul. La mesquita va ser construïda juntament amb una madrassa, escola alcorànica, un asil, un centre comercial d'artesania, un kervansaray, allotjament per a camells, una font i un külliye, complex soci-religiós.

The Holy Monastery of Simonos Petra, or more simply Simonopetra, is without doubt the most daring construction on the Holy Mountain. It stands proudly at a height of 330 metres on the end of a rocky mountain range.
The Monastery was founded by the Blessed Simon the Myrrhobletes around 1257, as a result of a vision. The whole of the building work, the Life of the Saint assures us, was accomplished as the result of divine intervention. In 1363 the Monastery was renovated with generous donations from a Serb despot, John Uglesha, who is regarded as the Monastery's second founder. In the Third Typikon, Simonopetra occupies 23rd place among the then monasteries of Athos; today it holds thirteenth place in the hierarchy.
Unfortunately, among the dates which are milestones in the history of the Monastery are those inauspicious days when it was afflicted with the scourge of fire. In 1570 the Monastery, together with its valuable archive, was destroyed by a great conflagration. This resulted in the loss of documents of inestimable historical value. It also explains why we know so little about the Monastery in the Byzantine period.
The good relations which developed between Simonopetra and the Princes of Wallachia in the period of Turkish rule made possible its recovery. However, there was another fire in 1622, causing further damage. Simonopetra, which had been a coenobium, became idiorrythmic in the 17th century. Although never looted by pirates, the intolerable taxes of the Turks drove the Monastery to decline and abandonment. By the heroic efforts of the priest-monk Ioasaph of Mytilene, Asimopetra (as Simonopetra was called in the period of Turkish occupation) began to function again in the late 18th century. The 19th century saw the building of the multi-storeyed building on the south side. At the end of the same century, in 1891, yet another disastrous fire swept away, yet again, the older buildings and the Monastery's treasures.
In the present century, Simonopetra has experienced a period of recovery and of increasing prestige in the Orthodox world - particularly after the liberation of the Holy Mountain from the Turks and under the enlightened ladership of the Abbots Neophytos, Ioannikios, and Ieronymos. In the 1950s, however, a period of decline set in and in 1963, when Athos celebrated a millennium of life, the prospects for the future were gloomy. But the 1970s were a time when there was a gradual revival of Athonite monasticism. In 1973 a new 20-member brotherhood from the Meteora established itself at the Monastery. The Monastery of Simonos Petra once had a large number of metochia with fertile farm land. The oldest of these would appear to be Petriotiko in Sithonia. Today, best known are St Charalampus in Thessaloniki, the Ascension in Athens, the Nunnery of the Annunciation at Ormylia in Chalcidice, and three others in France. It is also worth mentioning the metochi of Michael Voda in Bucharest, dedicated to the Monastery in 1566 and confiscated by the Romanian Government in 1863.
Simonopetra, because of the restricted space of its site, is not one of those monasteries where we can see autonomous, clearly distinguished buildings. The katholikon is dedicated to the Nativity of Christ and in its original form was built around 1600, while the form it takes today took shape after the fire of 1891. The Monastery has four chapels within its precinct and eight outside.
The Monastery's archive contains a host of documents in Greek, Turkish, and Romanian, together with inscriptions, and musical and other manuscripts, to which must be added its printed books. However, it must be pointed out that almost the whole of the archival material is post-Byzantine.
The sacristy contains a treasury of works of art, consisting of icons, vestments, silverware, antimensia, seals, and engravings. However, the most important treasure of Simonopetra is the left hand of St Mary Magdalene - she is regarded as 'co-founder' of the Monastery - which has remained whole for two thousand years. The Monastery today has a community of 50 well-educated and active monks.

or "Dom St. Stephan" in German, is a baroque church from 1688 in Passau, Germany. It is the seat of the Catholic Bishop of Passau and the main church of his diocese.
Since 730, there have been many churches built on the site of the current cathedral. The current church, a baroque building around 100 metres (328 ft) long, was built from 1668 to 1693 after a fire in 1662 destroyed its predecessor, of which only the late gothic eastern side remains. The cathedral's overall plan was made by Carlo Lurago, its interior decoration by Giovanni Battista Carlone, and its frescos by Carpoforo Tencalla.
Over time, the Passau Cathedral has acquired the largest organ outside of the United States. It is also the largest cathedral organ in the world. The organ currently has 17,774 pipes and 233 registers, all of which can be played with the five-manual general console in the gallery.
The cathedral has eight large bells in the bell rooms in the north and south towers. The heaviest,"Pummerin" at 7550 kg cast in 1952 and "Sturmerin" weighing 5300 kg cast in 1733 hang in the south tower. The other six bells hang in the north tower. They include: "Misericordia" weighing 6000 kg, the Angelus bell, "Predigerin", "Elfuhrglocken", the Choir bell, and "Dignitar". A ninth bell, the "Zeichenglocke" hangs near the sacristy door.

The Wave is a spectacular sandstone formation on the slopes of the Coyote Buttes in the beautiful and rugged Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness, … just south of the Utah-Arizona border about halfway between Kanab, Utah and Page, Arizona.
This incredible formation can be reached by hiking approximately 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) across rugged, trailless landscape, making the round-trip to and from The Wave a nearly 6-mile (9.7-kilometer) hike that climbs about 350 feet (107 meters) in altitude [sic]. The area can be really hot in summer (100 F +), so it is best to start the hike early. --from Wiki
Well, my friend and I hiked this late, staying over sunset in The Wave. It is an incredibly beautiful area, and I'd love to get back there.
Hiking back through the darkness was pretty exhilarating, but I could see it being nearly impossible and very stressful without a GPS. Carins are few and far between, and nearly impossible to locate at night, even with flashlights. Fortunately, there are a couple washes that cross at pretty identifiable areas on the trail; identifiable enough where we could see by a crescent moon and be okay.

From the top of a terril at Mons in Belgium just after the sunset.
A 'terril' is a hill made from mining waste. There are still a lot of them in the old mining regions like Mons, now being appreciated as green areas.
This morning was a great foggy morning, but only over the Marymoor park. i nearly didn't notice it at first, but at the very last moment i decided to give it a try and i drove into the park. Low fog like this one is quite exciting to capture, when all the trees are popping out at the top. fascinating.

I should have two of my cameras and lenses back today the insurance company finally sent the ok through to the local camera shop. Probably won't get the work on the motorcycle for another ten days.
The only thing that stands between a man and what he wants from life is often merely the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible.

This hawk was shot through a large caged in area with my long lens. I had a hard time capturing this beautiful bird because I was trying to focus on him, not the fence that was directly in front of him. I had to get the dof just right so that the fence did not show up. This was one of the shots that actually came out pretty well.
Shot at Mill Grove at Audubon.

The spectacular view of geothermal landscape in Landmannalaugar.
Landmannalaugar (Icelandic, meaning the people's pools) is a region near the volcano
Hekla, one of Iceland's most active volcano; over 20 eruptions have occurred in and around the volcano since 874. During the Middle Ages, Icelanders called the volcano the "Gateway to Hell.
The Landmannalaugar area is a popular tourist destination and the area displays a number of unusual geological elements, like the multicolored rhyolit. The many mountains in the surrounding area display a wide spectrum of colors including pink, brown, green, yellow, blue, purple, black, and white. Two of the most popular mountains among hikers are Bláhnúkur (meaning "blue peak") and Brennisteinsalda. (meaning "sulphur wave").

A beautiful day - but I've been working, so this is a distracting dream - sailing on the Severn.
To get compressed view of waves and give the boat its central focus (it was some 200 yds off shore) the image was taken at full extension (135mm) and widest aperture at that length (f5.6) and fastest shutter possible without reducing ISO speed and on tripod, to get sharpest image; then cropped tight and some processing (Picasa2) to cut down on haze and highlight shadows and produce richer colours.
lsten:
… Birds and bees and apple trees are things
Money doesn't buy, but sunshine brings
Oh, how beautiful a day can be
When you say the one you love is me
… Here we are - free to go
When you say you love me so
… I just love my little world
I don't need no new sensations
All I want's the simple life
Loving you's a sweet

I am sorry but I am a mostly OFF - so I cannot comment on all of you but will catch up as soon as I can,I am so behind and busy -
I feel I am a solitary cloud,
floating over hallowed ground;
summer wind and nature's bounty
spin my world around.
In morning's light of day
your poems shine with colour,
the whirlwind of true romance
makes them sparkle like no other.
In the beauty of your face
I admire nature's perfection,
pushed and so inspired am I
to kiss your dear reflection.
So let your bright light shine,
as we wander hills together,
from a sunny day in May
until the glory of September.

"I could stay there for a lifetime"
Better days with brighter sunshines are coming. Everyone's "Woohoo !" !
- This title also tries to make a comparison between the ephemeral poppies, and our human condition, which is ephemeral as well, but in another way(s)... -
This afternoon, i came back home earlier than usual. After two fruitless hours in front off my tv, i decided to look out the window.
The weather was cloudy and we almost couldn't see the sun. I had to wait before going outside with my camera.
And there was not much to do inside. Actually i didn't really check out what i could do because i wanted to breathe some refreshing and sunny air, and maybe to take some pictures as well...
But i hoped this was not going to last long.
Twenty minutes later, without asking myself more questions, i opened the door and jumped outside.
Sometimes you easily become aware of things, habits you'd always like to live with... Your will can change everything without a lot of efforts.
I decided to ride my bike if ever the clouds would have liked to wring themselves.
Though despite that i put rain clothes into my bag, nothing happened.
In fact, i couldn't know that the bad weather that persisted this entire week was going to change into a beautiful and sunny afternoon allowing me to find my smile back.
At that moment of the day, when the sun suddenly appeared from behind the clouds now disapearing, i found a wheat field full of poppies. The first one this year !
I couldn't even dream of it !
The horizon was immense, i couldn't see anything but wheat, and wheat, and poppies... And the sun was wonderfully reflecting on the wheat dancing with the wind... The sun was not so hot on my skin, and sometimes the wind was a little cold. But it was an intense feeling, only the fact of being here, lost in the immensity.
I could stay there for a lifeftime.
I only stayed two hours, or more. I don't know. In fact i don't even remember.
I was feeling alive for the very first time this year :D

Et salut à vous tous mes amis,
Paul :)
I think I need a new camera. All the shots I took at this place have weird noise in them. the noise kind of looks like rectangular shapes and it's all of over the images in a kind of pattern. Seems to be a electronic problem of some sort :( I tried my hardest to get rid of most of it but it leaves the images looking a little strange. I suppose you can't really notice if you just take a quick look at them. Sigh ....

Souvent les rapaces ; buses ou milans suivent de près les moissonneuses afin de capturer toutes sortes de mulots et rats des champs. Il n'est pas besoin alors de courir par monts et par vaux pour arriver à prendre quelques photos. C'est bien une des rares fois (pour moi) où le photographe peut s'approcher à 20 ou 30m à découvert, le rapace ayant alors toute son attention accaparée par sa future proie.
Often prey; nozzles or kites closely follow the harvesters to capture all kinds of mice and field mice. There is no need then to run up hill and down dale to get to take some pictures. This is one of the few times (for me) where the photographer can approach 20 or 30m short, the raptor then having his attention captured by his future prey.
Muitas vezes presa, bicos ou pipas acompanhar de perto as colheitadeiras para capturar todos os tipos de camundongos e ratos do campo. Não há necessidade, em seguida, correr para cima e para baixo dale colina para chegar ao tirar algumas fotos. Esta é uma das poucas vezes que (para mim), onde o fotógrafo pode se aproximar de 20 ou 30m suma, o raptor depois de ter sua atenção capturada por sua presa futuro.
A menudo presa; boquillas o cometas siguen de cerca las cosechadoras para capturar todo tipo de ratas y ratones de campo. No hay necesidad de correr entonces por montes y valles hasta llegar a tomar algunas fotos. Esta es una de las pocas veces que (para mí), donde el fotógrafo puede acercarse al 20 o 30m resumen, el raptor después de haber capturado su atención por su presa futuro.
Bonne journée à tous. merci pour vos visites et commentaires.

This moc is part of the story for my GoH Challenge 1 Category C in eurobricks.
Nocturnus is in great danger and Lorivor came to Gunman's mind.
Lorivor is the King of Marrach Briollag, City of Avalonia.
Gunman decided to travel to Marrach Briollag with his faithful soldiers and friends, Hlias and Markus .
==============================================================
"In the meanwhile"
Sharion, son of King Lorivor, took a guard from the palace with him and left on a long journey to a place northwest of Siccus Badlands in Nocturnus.
A druid named Bergish is rumored to have lived there 600 years ago .
The myth says that of all the places Bergish met during his travels to all lands of Historica, he loved Avalonian landscapes the most.
Because he was old, Bergish stopped the journeys, and passed his last days peacefully at his home. Where he started experiments trying to create a magic potion which would spread to the place near his house in order to transform the barren Nocturnian landscape
into the lush beautiful landscape he had visited in Avalonia.
It was his wish to successfully create the potion before he last closed his eyes, and myths say his wish came true...
Myths also say that strange animals live there and Sharion wants to take their heads back to Avalonia.
"Little did he know that after the death of Bergish the cottage was occupied by the Wolfclan. Evil creatures , half man, half wolf who are hostile against anyone
passing the bridge leading from Nocturnus to their homelands.."
Rumors around nocturnus say that any Nocturnus hunters who dared to go hunt near there never came back.
So no Nocturnian has ever went to that land and returned.
================================================================
A big surprise was waiting for him at the palace..
Lorivor heard about his coming to town and was expecting him in a not so friendly way..
He wanted Gunman to help him find his son and in exchange he would give him money.
Gunman refused the money, and told Lorivor that he wanted Lorivor's soldiers to fight with Nocturnus against the Black Spire.
After a lot of thoughts Lorivor agreed to the deal.
Sir Gunman the lurikeen accepted the challenge to go find Sharion because Nocturnus lands were in true danger from the Black Spire hordes
and Lord Syslith needs the recruits from the town of Marrach Briollag.
In the 17th century, Sultan Ahmet I wished to build an Islamic place of worship that would be even better than the Hagia Sophia, and the mosque named for him is the result. The two great architectural achievements now stand next to each other in Istanbul's main square [...].
Inside, the high ceiling is lined with the 20,000 blue tiles that give the mosque its popular name. Fine examples of 16th-century Iznik design, the oldest tiles feature flowers, trees and abstract patterns. The overall effect is one of the most beautiful sights in Istanbul. The Iznik tiles can be seen in the galleries and and on the north wall above the main entrance. The remaining tiles, which have a less delicate design, were made in Kütahya.
The interior is lit with 260 windows, which were once filled with 17th-century stained glass. Sadly, this has been lost and replaced with inferior replicas.

What:
A long exposure (47 seconds) of the light house at Peggy's Cove.
When:
Almost an hour after sunset Sunday night.
Where:
Peggy's Cove
Nova Scotia, Canada
About:
I am trying to get back out shooting a little more often and of course I had to head to Peggy's Cove seeing how I had a special request from my friend Sonja :-)
Anyway, the weather wasn't all that great and there was a bit of fog rolling in around town. I was expecting to get near Peggy's and just end up turning around and heading home. Well was I ever surprised when I saw one of the best sunsets ever there!! I have a few actual sunset shots I will post later, this was taken almost an hour after the sun had gone down! As you can see there was still a lot of color left in the sky. It was still nice and warm with hardly any wind at all which is very unusual for this place!
We have had a lot of rain this year so I knew there would be some water in the granite surrounding the lighthouse.
Please, no multiple invites or crazy glittery graphics. Thank You

I saw these two slowly walking arm-in-arm on the opposite side of the road to me, so I patiently waited for them to walk into my mind’s eye frame in a shop window. But, at the last moment, they paused and crossed the road, walking right towards me; their eyes fixed on the display in a window immediately over my left shoulder.
My initial reaction when they stopped before my originally imagined scene was ‘Grrr…’ But, clearly, some pictures are just meant to be.
[Note: If you look carefully, you’ll see the woman closest to me has just become aware of my presence, and moments later she yanked her handbag up to cover and face and the whole scene quickly degenerated into laughter. : )]

Black Drawing Chalks live RockLab. (Brazil)
Edimar Filho - Guitar
Bio
Black Drawing Chalks stoner rock quartet is one of Goiania - Brazil.
The idea of forming the band came out in college for Graphic Design. Victor Rocha and Douglas Castro are part of the studio without Brake Bike (responsible for the visual identity of many concerts and festivals Goiânia) and decided to call Denis de Castro, brother of Douglas and student of architecture, to found the Black Drawing Chalks. At the time, Victor shared the chords and vocals with Marco Bauer. In early 2007, Marco decided to leave the band and Renato Cunha is invited to join the quartet. The band's name, meaning "coal black to draw," comes from a German brand of drawing materials, constant influence on the lives of boys.
In 2007, they released their acclaimed debut album, Big Deal, the label Monstro Discos. After releasing the album, the band played throughout Brazil. In the same year they opened for the American Idols of Nashville Pussy, a tradition that would become common. The band has toured alongside names like The Datsuns, Motörhead and Eagles Of Death Metal.
In 2009, with more maturity, the group released their second album, Life Is a Big Holiday for Us, also by Monster Records, after a tour of Canada where the band performed at Canadian Music Week festival.
With frequent media exposure, long tours and participation in major festivals in Brazil, the group won three nominations VMB 2009 in the categories of Bet MTV, Rock and Alternative Video of the year, with the music video My Favorite Way, made in a partnership Without the collective Bike Brake Nitrocorpz with the studio, responsible for several vignettes on MTV.
In 2009 the single "My Favorite Way" was named by Rolling Stone Brazil, the best song of the year.
In 2010, four members joined with Chuck Hipolitho, Forgotten former boys and made parallel with the Love Bazuka.

Mon Oncle Lisboa Zentral Cafe
My Books:
My book "Discover GUIMERÀ" (preview)
My book "Discover SANTA PAU" (preview)
Mon Oncle ("My Uncle") is a 1958 comedic film by French filmmaker Jacques Tati. It was Tati's first film to be released in colour (after the colour-debacle of Jour de fête) and that same year won him the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, a Special Prize at Cannes, and the prestigious New York Film Critics Award, receiving more honors than any of Tati's other films.
The film centers on the dimwitted yet lovable character of Monsieur Hulot and his quixotic struggle with postwar France's infatuation with modern architecture, mechanical efficiency and American-style consumerism. As with most Tati films, Mon Oncle is largely a visual comedy; color and lighting are employed to help tell the story. The dialogue in Mon Oncle is barely audible, and largely subordinated to the role of a sound effect. Consequently, most of the conversations are not subtitled. Instead, the drifting noises of heated arguments and idle banter complement other sounds and the physical movements of the characters, intensifying comedic effect. The complex soundtrack also uses music to characterize environments, including a lively musical theme that represents Hulot's world of comical inefficiency and freedom.
El núcleo de Tarroja de Segarra está situado en la cuesta a la derecha del río Sió, a medio camino entre Cervera y Guissona.
El barrio moderno ha estado edificado hacia el norte, donde la cuesta se transforma en plana, cerca de la carretera, donde también encontramos algunas casas diseminadas. Fuera de los arrabales forma un grupo bastante compacto, casi circular, al abrigo de un cercado más primitivo, que estuvo amurallado, centrado por la plaza de la iglesia, por el que se entra a través de tres portales y callejuelas cubiertas.
La iglesia parroquial de Sant Salvador fue construida durante la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII. Conserva el campanario, edificado durante el siglo XV encima del ábside de la antigua iglesia románica de la cual se conservan unos muros, una portalada y parte de la bóveda de un altar lateral.
Por encima de las murallas, la calle del Raval bordea el camino de Sedó, mientras que a lo largo de la muralla inferior se extiende la calle Gual. En la última línea de casas, al oeste, se ven unos muros que formaron parte del antiguo castillo de los condes de Cardona.
Más allá de la ribera no encontramos población.
A la orilla izquierda del río Sió encontramos la ermita de Sant Julià y, en el sector septentrional del término, la ermita de Sant Antoni.
Tarroja, con su conocida tradición que la relaciona con Colom, cumple quince años de publicación de la revista Terra Rubra, la cual colabora en la investigación de este tema. La Segarra, en donde habitaban familias arraigadas como los Oluja y Sacirera entre otros, muy relacionadas con el descubridor, no defrauda a los historiadores que investigan
Cerca de Tarroja se han producido hallazgos arqueológicos, en el Pla de la Mata cerámica neolítica y en los campos de los Vilassos restos de una villa romana del siglo II.
En Tarroja encontramos ya un polideportivo y unas piscinas municipales.
Tarroja celebra la fiesta mayor el primer fin de semana de agosto, por Sant Salvador. El Lunes de Pascua se hace una reunión en la ermita de Sant Julià y el primer domingo de mayo se celebra la fiesta del Roser.
