Generally quite dark compared to other orb web spiders and can be found close to water where their webs are spun on fencing, buildings and bridges and rarely on vegetation. Close to a river near me where I live a river flows under a road in a tunnel these Orbweb spiders can be found and seen in their webs close to the lights that help to light up the pathway where they have the best of both worlds, warmth from the lights where I have even seen the adults spiders here in February with snow outside and plus their prey such as moths and flies are attracted to the lights also. Its amazing to see their webs so close together and not eating each other, nature can be truly amazing at times.
Le château de La Motte-Tilly est édifié à partir de 1754 dans un parc boisé en bordure de Seine, sur des plans de l’architecte François Nicolas
Lancret, pour les frères Terray. Le plus célèbre, l’abbé Joseph Marie Terray devient contrôleur général des finances du roi Louis XV en 1769.
En 1910, le comte de Rohan-Chabot, descendant par sa mère de la famille Terray, entreprend des travaux de restauration d’après des documents d’archives. Le parc est ainsi redessiné avec des terrasses descendant en pente douce jusqu’au miroir d’eau.
Le château est classé monument historique en 1946. Après le décès du comte en 1964, sa fille, la marquise de Maillé, reconstitue par le décor et l’ameublement aux prestigieuses estampilles*, l’ambiance raffinée d’une demeure du XVIIIe siècle. Décédée en 1972, sans héritier, la marquise lègue son château à la Caisse nationale des monuments historiques et des sites aujourd'hui Centre des monuments nationaux, à la condition qu’il soit maintenu en l’état et que « le visiteur puisse y ressentir le sentiment d’une présence

When out for a bike ride last week I was delighted to see that a local farmer had planted a wildflower mix in the set-aside adjacent to his wheat crop.
Actually it was double delight since the only poppies that I had seen up to this point were some mega-sized cultivated ones in the sand dunes at Alnmouth which don't count as wildflowers in my book!
Le « Schweissdissi », emblème fort de la ville, était sans doute le choix le plus facile à faire pour l’artiste, tant il est porteur de symboles quant au riche passé industriel de la Cité du Bollwerk. La position assise de l’homme est liée au chômage (disparition des grandes manufactures mulhousiennes). Il s'agit pour l'essentiel de pièces de mécanique automobile qui proviennent d’une société de recyclage de matériaux et de vieux outils puisés dans le bric-à-brac personnel d'Yves Carrey.
Although there are a lot of amazing villages & cities in Alsace, Eguisheim is my favourite… This is a village on the Alsace wine route (La Route des Vins d’Alsace) It is one of the “The Most Beautiful Villages of France” (Les plus beaux villages de France) And plus, It is also holder of the prestigious 4* village fleuri award, which is the highest award. (concours des villes et villages fleuris) So this street shows the soul of this amazing village….Unique architecture, history, flowers where all represent great harmony of the colours… BeNowMeHere, Eguisheim, Alsace, France, 2015 via 500px ift.tt/1ViXjUb

The Morgan Plus 8 is a sports car built by British car maker Morgan from 1968 to 2004 and again in revised form between 2012 and 2018.
Les abeilles charpentières (Xylocopa violacea) sont les plus grandes abeilles, qui existent : elles peuvent mesurer plus de 3 cm. Ces abeilles solitaires forent des tunnels dans du bois mort, où elles confectionnent leurs nids et y préparent des alvéoles, où elles y pondront leurs œufs après avoir déposé du pollen pour nourrir les larves.
The carpenter bees (Xylocopa violacea) are the largest bees, which exist: they can measure more than 3 cm. These bees bore tunnels into dead wood, where they make their nests and prepare honeycombs, where they lay their eggs after depositing pollen to feed the larvae.
La question la plus "bizarre" (à mon avis) de Matrix porte sur Néo : Tant qu'il n'est pas mort et n'a pas trouvé la Foi (dans sa destinée), alors il n'est pas Néo.
Eh bien j'ai l'impression que Néo a trouvé la Foi. Mais est-ce celle qui lui permettra de lutter contre la domination des machines ? :-))
Je n'ai pu faire mieux..et le focus, non plus,
elle est arrivée par surprise..sans aucun bruit..!,/
I couldn't have done better.. and neither is focus,
She came by surprise. without any noise..!

The Morgan Plus 8 is a sports car built by British car maker Morgan from 1968 to 2004 and again in revised form between 2012 and 2018. Its instant and enduring popularity has been credited with saving the company and keeping the company famous during the 36 years of its manufacture. Among Morgan enthusiasts, it is deeply associated with Peter Morgan, the owner-chairman behind its design.
Design
The development of the Plus 8 was led by Maurice Owen, an engineer taken on specifically for the role. The Plus 8 prototype was based on a modified chassis from the Plus 4, altered to accept the Rover alloy block 215 cu in (3.5 L) V8, purchased from GM-Buick in 1967. Plus 4's Moss gearbox was carried over and the Salisbury 7HA axle was uprated with a limited-slip differential. The chassis was developed in stages to accommodate gearbox changes in 1973 and 1976, 1995 the body widened in 1976 to accommodate the widened chassis and the wings widened to accommodate larger tires to handle the increasing power and trend for lower profile and wider tires. The original 1968 Plus 8 was 57 inches (1,400 mm) wide and the last was 64 inches (1,600 mm) (with an optional "widebody" at 67 inches (1,700 mm)) From the 1960s and (according to all auto magazines) through the 1980s for acceleration between 20-80mph, the Plus Eight was the fastest-accelerating UK production car. To this day, early Plus 8s are frequently the winners in the 1960-1970 class in the UK.
In 2002, Morgan created a "LeMans Edition" with similar exterior feature to the 1960s Plus 4 LeMans winner. In 2003, Morgan created a 35th year "Anniversary Edition" of the Plus 8. The 35th Anniversary model was built in 100 examples and has a walnut dashboard, mesh behind the grille bars, a "LeMans style" gear knob, and a badge on the rear panel. The original brochure also referenced the fact that the Plus 8 was to be discontinued the following year.
Following the discontinuation of the Rover V8, production of Plus 8 ended in 2004. A revised Aero, powered by a 4.8-litre BMW V8 engine, was placed on an Aero chassis, with Aero 8 suspension, axles, brakes, steering, gearbox, and altered wings was introduced in 2012, They also called this model "Plus 8" and it was sold concurrently with the Aero 8 from that date until the elimination of the Aero line-up in 2020.
In 2014, Morgan created another edition called the Plus 8 'Speedster' models based on the later Aero configuration noted above. It began as a limited edition, but production was not limited to the originally advertised 60 examples. This limited run forwent the traditional roof in favor of a small fly screen and hidden roll bars behind the front seats. Pitched as an entry-level Plus 8 model, they went on sale for £69,999.
O Columnas de Hércules. Son dos torres gemelas de 126 metros de altura en el municipio de Los Barrios; Cadiz, simulan las dos Columnas de Hércules del estrecho de Gibraltar, donde en la antigüedad decían que se acababa el mundo, de ahí el Non Plus Ultra, (que esta incrustado en su fachada dicha frase) que significa; ‘No existe tierra más allá"
