Aller plus loin ,aller plus haut
Et aller frôler le ciel, à chaque fois
Que nos yeux regarderons tout en haut....
Au coucher du soleil ,en Baie des Anges..

On the right hand side of the river, which is East, one can see evidence of the horrendous wildfire called Holiday Farm/McKenzie Fire. Looks like some charring on the left side (West) too, just not as bad in this particular spot. Thousands of acres are still not under complete containment as I write this (morning of October 6, 2020, and the fire started September 9th, (Labor Day).
The *soul* of this for Dave C. and other Flickr friends too, is my daughter and granddaughter lost their home miles west of this spot, and a friend completely lost her home a very short distance (almost shouting distance) east of this river.

...They actually look out for her. There haven’t even been that many *humans* she could say that about."
from my 2nd fixit fic about Bill's new life, after she and 'Razor' survived the Mondasian Cyber Metropolis very differently than how it happened on tv.
Démonstration du Soukhoi Su 35 au salon du Bourget.
Le Soukhoï Su-35 (Flanker Plus dans le code OTAN) est un chasseur russe. Il a été créé dans le but d'accroître les capacités offensives du Su-27 et de lui donner la possibilité de détruire tant les cibles aériennes que de surface.
Le Su-35 est le premier chasseur au monde à avoir deux radars, un N-011 multimode à balayage électronique à l'avant et un N-012 dans le cône de queue. Le N-011 est capable d'acquérir 15 cibles et d'en engager 8, sa portée est de plus de 100 km pour un objectif d'une SER de 0,01 m2.
Sukhoi Su35 demonstration at Paris Air Show "Le Bourget".
The Sukhoi Su-35 (Russian: Сухой Су-35; NATO reporting name: Flanker-E) is designation of two different heavily-upgraded derivatives of the Su-27 'Flanker'. Both are single-seat, twin-engine supermaneuverable multirole fighters, designed by Sukhoi and built by Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Production Association (KnAAPO).
The first variant was designed during the 1980s, when Sukhoi was looking to upgrade its high-performance Su-27, and was initially known as the Su-27M. Later re-designated Su-35, this derivative incorporates aerodynamic refinements to increase manoeuvrability, enhanced avionics, longer range, and a more powerful engine. The first Su-35 prototype, converted from a Su-27, made its maiden flight in June 1988. More than a dozen of these were built with some used by the Russian Knights aerobatic demonstration team. The first Su-35 design was later modified into the Su-37 with thrust-vectoring engines and used as a technology demonstrator. A sole Su-35UB two-seat trainer was built in the late 1990s that, despite its name, shares a strong resemblance to the Su-30MK family.
In 2003, Sukhoi embarked on a second modernization of the Su-27 to produce what the company calls a 4++ generation fighter that would serve as an interim fighter prior to the arrival of the Sukhoi PAK FA. This derivative incorporates a reinforced airframe, improved avionics and radar, thrust-vectoring engines, and a reduced radar signature from the front, while omitting the canards and air brake. In 2008 the revamped variant, erroneously dubbed the Su-35BM by the media, started its flight test programme that involved four prototypes, one of which was lost in 2009.
The Russian Air Force has ordered 48 production units, designated Su-35S, of the newly-revamped Su-35. Both Su-35 models have been offered to many countries, including Brazil, China, India and South Korea, but so far have not attracted any export orders. Sukhoi originally projected that it would export more than 160 units of the second modernized Su-35 worldwide.

La prima notizia di Pitigliano appare in una bolla inviata da papa Niccolò II al preposto della cattedrale di Sovana nel 1061, dove viene già indicato come luogo di competenza della famiglia dei conti Aldobrandeschi. Nel 1293 Anastasia, figlia della contessa Margherita Aldobrandeschi, sposò Romano Orsini portando in dote la contea di Sovana e la sede della contea fu trasferita proprio a Pitigliano. Gli Orsini governarono queste terre per secoli, difendendole dai continui tentativi di sottomissione da parte di Siena e Orvieto prima, e della Firenze medicea poi. Fu solo nel 1574 che Niccolò IV Orsini cedette la fortezza ai Medici e nel 1604 Pitigliano fu annessa al granducato di Toscana, ceduta dal conte Gian Antonio Orsini per saldare i propri debiti.
Pitigliano and its area were inhabited in Etruscan times but the first extant written mention of it dates only to 1061. In the early 13th century it belonged to the Aldobrandeschi family and by the middle of the century it had become the capital of the surrounding county.
In 1293 the county passed to the Orsini family, signalling the start of 150 years of on-again/off-again wars with Siena, at the end of which, in 1455, a compromise of sorts was reached: Siena acknowledged the status of county to Pitigliano, which in exchange placed herself under the sovereignty of Siena.
From then onwards the history of Pitigliano resorbs into the gradually wider ambit first of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany (1562) then of the united Kingdom of Italy.
