Le château a probablement été reconstruit sur les fondations romaines au Moyen Âge, autour du XIe siècle, lorsque le territoire était gouverné par la République de Venise et a été utilisé comme résidence par les hauts magistrats de Venise. Aujourd'hui une propriété privée.
The castle was probably rebuilt on Roman foundations in the Middle Ages, around the 11th century, when the territory was ruled by the Republic of Venice and was used as a residence by the high magistrates of Venice. Today a private property.

Thanks for your visit and comments, much appreciated! Have a beautiful day!
This worm gear came from my 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth window control mechanism that I had to replace. If you know me, you know I like little motors so I dissected out the motor and found this interesting worm gear. I've posted the complete armature part of the motor before and I even shot this gear once but never posted it. So, with "Screw" for the Macro Mondays theme this week I decided to shoot it again and see what I could come up with after a bit of cleaning. So much for the rusty lag bolt...
The worm screw gear is relatively small and measures 0.35 in. x 1.0 in. I used the Nikon 55mm f/2.8 NIKKOR Micro lens w/PK-12&13 Extension Tubes, 41.5mm total extension and a 30 image focus stack at f/5.6 to keep everything sharp. The first time I shot this I found the orange and blue clamps that I used to "suspend" the gear had snuck back into the reflection so I wrapped the clamps with my gold ribbon and taped some to a piece of cardboard that I placed below the gear. I used blue tape to hold the ribbon to the cardboard and it got picked up but I liked the look by the gold. You can also probable guess the color shirt I'm wearing.

Le Colorado provençal à Rustrel est probablement l'un des plus beaux sites touristiques du Luberon en Provence.
Il s'étend sur plus de 30 hectares. Ses sentiers en terre permettent de découvrir des falaises érodées comprenant plus de 20 teintes d'ocre. Le « cirque de Barriès », le « cirque de Bouvène », les bassins de décantation, les cheminées de fée, le « Sahara », les tunnels, le lit de la Dôa (la petite rivière locale) offrent des décors variés aux randonneurs. Le chemin de grande randonnée GR 6 traverse le site.

The most spectacular of ochre sites is nicknamed “the Colorado Provençal”. The unexpected Colorado of Rustrel ranks among Provence’s most beautiful attractions. Situated on one of the largest ochre quarries in the world, the Colorado of Rustrel was, at one time, one of the best known producers of ochre in France. Today, the hues and the strange looking shapes of the outcrops, shaped by centuries of exposure to the elements, are simply breathtaking.

Eine Welt in Ocker..Ein prächtiger, farbenfroher Rundwanderweg führt durch die Ockerbrüche bei Rustrel im regionalen Naturpark Luberon.Der Naturpark Luberon in der südfranzösischen Region Provence hat gleich zwei Ockersteinbrüche zu bieten: die Brüche von Roussillon und die von Rustrel. Erstere sind die berühmtesten, letztere sind allerdings die größeren und, auch die imposantesten.
Die verschiedenen Teile der Ockerbrüche mit immer wieder wechselnden Farben und mit klangvollen Namen wie "Cheminées-des-Fées" oder "Sahara" verzaubern.
Nach Besichtigung dieses prachtcvollen Ortes erscheint die Welt
...farblos! Schon einmal habe ich diesen faszinierenden Ort besucht.

Kaziranga is recognized as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International ...
WONDERFUL FACTS - The Wild Water Buffalo (Bubalus arnee) - also called Asian Buffalo, Asiatic Buffalo and Wild Asian Buffalo.
Is a large bovine native to the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia.
It has been listed as Endangered in the IUCN Red List since 1986, as the remaining population totals less than 4,000.
A population decline of at least 50% over the last three generations (24–30 years) is projected to continue.
The global population has been estimated at 3,400 individuals, of which 3,100 (91%) live in India, mostly in Assam.
The wild water buffalo is the probable ancestor of the domestic water buffalo

Happy birding 🍁
Minuscule dans le gazon mais si jolie.
Grand beau temps et chaud toute la journée aujourd'hui, ça fait du bien. Mais on devrait avoir des averses importantes probablement cette nuit. :-(
So tiny in the lawn but so cute.
We've had warm and sunny weather all day, it was great. It should rain a lot by now though. Probably tonight. :-(
When most Americans think of Christmas, they have visions of the Midwest/New England propagated by Hallmark and classic holiday movies.
In California, that style of Christmas isn't very common. Here, In San Diego, it is highly probable to be sunny and in the 60s for at least part of the day. But, in the Sierra Nevada range, at elevation, there will be snow, like in this image from Sequoia National Park taken just after Christmas 2018.
It is probable that a church has existed on the present site since Saxon times. The Manors of the Wallops were of sufficient importance to warrant a church situated in the upper part of the Wallop valley. In the Domesday survey the estate in the Wallops held by Countess Gueda, wife of Earl Godwin of Wessex and mother of King Harold the Second, is recorded as having a chapel and a church. As the neighbouring parish of Nether Wallop has an important Saxon church, still preserving some of the original Saxon fabric, it is probable that the chapel referred to in the survey was situated where the present church stands, although there is no evidence remaining to prove this or enable us to visualise its appearance or size.
The building you see today is the end result of a considerable amount of restoration and rebuilding which took place during the third quarter of the nineteenth century and the historical development of the original church has therefore been much obscured. The choir and chancel, dedicated by the Bishop of Nottingham on St Peter’s Day 1866, were entirely rebuilt to the design of John Loughborough Pearson, architect to Truro Cathedral, at the expense of the Rector, the Rev Henry John Fellowes, a member of the Wallop family, who became Rector in 1852.

Plage et tour des ondes. Juan-les-Pins.
La petite tour de la Plage des Ondes est probablement l'endroit le plus photographié du Cap d'Antibes. Cette tour n'existe que depuis le début des années 50 bien qu'elle semble exister ici depuis toujours.
The small tower at Plage des Ondes is probably the most photographed spot in Cap d'Antibes. This tower has only been around since the early 1950s although it seems to have been here forever.

Ce petit pinson noir et vert est devenu un hôte familier des jardins à la fin de l'hiver, marquant une nette préférence pour les arachides contenues dans les distributeurs suspendus, qui, probablement, ressemblent davantage à la nourriture habituelle qu'il trouve dans les cônes d'aulnes. Dans un premier temps, il a peut-être été attiré par les conifères d'ornement, tels les cyprès. Selon les régions, on le voit régulièrement en hiver dans les jardins, quand les stocks de graines sauvages sont épuisés. Ensuite, il a été attiré par les mangeoires. Les tarins sont particulièrement attirés par les cacahuètes présentées dans un filet rouge, dans lesquels les marchands de légumes emballent les carottes. Ils préfèrent ces filets rouges aux paniers à déchets et à tout autre dispositif de nourrissage. Ce nouveau régime alimentaire s'est propagé dans presque toute la France et le nombre des hivernants y a augmenté.

This small black and green finch became a familiar home for gardens at the end of winter, marking a clear preference for the peanuts contained in the hanging dispensers, which probably resemble more the usual food found in the cones of alders. At first, it may have been attracted by ornamental conifers, such as cypresses. Depending on the region, it is regularly seen in the winter in the gardens, when the stocks of wild seeds are exhausted. Then he was attracted to the feeders. The siskins are particularly attracted by peanuts presented in a red net, in which the vegetable traders pack the carrots. They prefer these red nets to waste baskets and other feeding devices. This new diet has spread throughout most of France and the number of wintering has increased.

I've never taken pictures of pencils before, strange!
Elle a probablement été construite dès le XIIIe siècle, mais les changements apportés au fil du temps sont importants et ont affecté à la fois la façade, qui est devenue romane, puis gothique et enfin baroque, ainsi que l'intérieur, qui a suivi une évolution similaire.
La façade a été modifiée en 1935, avec un style néo-roman à pignon, dominé par le portail central et la grande rosace ornée de fresques.
Le clocher extérieur a été obtenu en incorporant la tour carrée du Château voisin.
-------------------------------------------------------------
It was probably built as early as the 13th century, but the changes made over time are significant and have affected both the façade, which became Romanesque, then Gothic, and finally Baroque, as well as the interior, which followed a similar evolution.
The façade was modified in 1935, with a neo-Romanesque gabled style, dominated by the central portal and the large frescoed rose window.
The outer bell tower was obtained by incorporating the square tower of the neighboring Castle.

Horta de Sant Joan és probablement la vila més bonica de la Terra Alta, amb un preciós nucli medieval i unes impressionants vistes sobre els Ports de Tortosa i la muntanya de Santa Bàrbara. També s'anomena Orta.
Sense dubte, el lloc més bonic d'Horta és la Plaça Major, amb els seus porxos, adequadament irregulars.
Picasso hi va viure un temps, i sempre va dir que va tenir una gran influencia en la seva manera de pintar.
ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horta_de_Sant_Joan
=======================
Horta de Sant Joan, in southern Catalonia, is a very beautiful medieval fortified town, with cramped, vaulted streets and squares, a gothic church and impressive views towards the mountains of Ports de Tortosa. It's also known as Orta.
The main square in Horta de Sant Joan is not large but very beautiful, presided by the church and the old town hall.
Picasso stayed here sometimes and developed his art portraying the place.

A very large and old holm oak located south of the Catalan village of Perafita. It's known as l'Alzina Bonica de Busquets ("the beautiful holm oak of Busquets"); Busquets is a centuries old countryhouse standing just south of this tree.
Calascibetta est probablement d'origine arabe, elle aurait été fondée lors du siège d'Enna par les Sarrasins en 951.
En 1087, le normand Roger Ier s'y installa afin d'assiéger à son tour les sarrasins d'Enna.
La ville compte 4800 habitants, elle est située à 2km au nord d'Enna sur un promontoire.
Ses nombreuses ruelles paisibles sont pleines de charmes.
Calascibetta is probably of Arab origin, it would have been founded during the siege of Enna by the Saracens in 951.
In 1087, the Norman Roger I settled there in order to besiege in turn the Saracens of Enna.

Its many peaceful alleys are full of charms.
Iglesia de San Miguel Arcángel, San Esteban de Gormaz, Soria, Castilla y León, España.
La iglesia de San Miguel es de una gran importancia a nivel artístico ya que lo más probable es que fuera el lugar donde por primera vez se edificara una galería porticada románica. Uno de los canecillos así lo atestigua.
En él aparece un monje que sostiene un libro abierto en el que se puede leer: “Me hizo el maestro Julianus en la era de 1119 (año 1081)”. Por este motivo se trataría no solo de la galería porticada más antigua de Castilla, sino uno de los primeros templos románicos de la zona sur del Duero. Declarada Monumento Nacional desde 1976.
Se trata de un templo de una sola nave con torre adosada al lado norte y galería porticada posterior a la construcción de la iglesia. Esta galería era un espacio de valor social ya que servía de lugar de reunión.
Los capiteles del pórtico muestran animales, caballeros y fortalezas musulmanas. La portada es muy sencilla. Se compone de 4 arquivoltas cuyos capiteles representan caras, leones y piñas. El ábside posee una ventana aspillera decorada con ajedrezado.
A diferencia de la iglesia, que está construida en mampostería irregular, la torre y la galería porticada presentan sillares cuadrados.
Interiormente solo tiene una nave, un corto presbiterio y ábside semicircular. En la capilla quedan una serie de pinturas tardo góticas representando la Visitación, la Adoración de los Reyes Magos y la Huida a Egipto.
Como curiosidad durante las obras de acondicionamiento realizadas en 2009, sacaron a la luz cientos de grafitos del S. XII y XIII, inscripciones funerarias, huellas, cruces de consagración…etc. También se encontró en la galería porticada de la iglesia una tumba medieval, en la que el difunto sujetaba en la mano una cruz patriarcal del S. XII, que está expuesta en el Museo Numantino de Soria.
The church of San Miguel is of great importance on an artistic level since it was most likely the place where a Romanesque porticoed gallery was built for the first time. One of the corbels testifies to this.
In it appears a monk holding an open book in which one can read: "Master Julianus made me in the era of 1119 (year 1081)". For this reason it would be not only the oldest porticoed gallery in Castile, but also one of the first Romanesque temples in the southern area of the Duero. Declared a National Monument since 1976.
It is a temple with a single nave with a tower attached to the north side and a porticoed gallery after the construction of the church. This gallery was a space of social value since it served as a meeting place.
The capitals of the portico show animals, knights and Muslim fortresses. The cover is very simple. It is made up of 4 archivolts whose capitals represent faces, lions and pineapples. The apse has a loophole window decorated with a checkered pattern.
Unlike the church, which is built in irregular masonry, the tower and the porticoed gallery have square ashlars.
Inside it only has a nave, a short presbytery and a semicircular apse. In the chapel there are a series of late Gothic paintings representing the Visitation, the Adoration of the Magi and the Flight into Egypt.
As a curiosity, during the conditioning works carried out in 2009, hundreds of graffiti from the 12th and 13th centuries, funerary inscriptions, footprints, consecration crosses, etc. were brought to light. A medieval tomb was also found in the porticoed gallery of the church, in which the deceased held a patriarchal cross from the 12th century in his hand, which is on display at the Numantino Museum in Soria.
possible/probable contribution to MM challenge for 10/8/20, theme: "Water"
Didn't have as much time as I would have liked for this one so not my original idea but still one of the highest deletion rates I've had for a MM challenge for a few years!
Didn't set out to do a monochrome shot but as the final image was so close anyway I just gave it a gentle nudge over the line.
Focusing was a huge PITA for this as the focal point kept moving and I was using a wider aperture than normal and a much higher ISO to get a half decent shutter speed. Sure I'm not the only person that faced these issues!

Bexhill or Bexhill-on-Sea is a seaside town situated in the county of East Sussex in South East England. An ancient town and part of the local-government district of Rother, Bexhill is home to a number of archaeological sites, a Manor House in the Old Town, an abundance of Edwardian and Victorian architecture, and the famous De La Warr Pavilion: today a centre for contemporary art – which has featured the work of Andy Warhol, Cerith Wyn Evans and Richard Wilson amongst others – and an auditorium, where Bob Marley had his first UK appearance and has since seen performances by Elvis Costello, Goldfrapp, Ray Davies, Years & Years, Patti Smith and Laurie Anderson.
The first reference to Bexhill, or Bexelei as it was originally called, was in a charter granted by King Offa of Mercia in 772 AD. It is recorded that King Offa had 'defeated the men of Hastings' in 771 AD. At this time, the term Hastings would have referred to this whole area rather than the town itself as it does today. In the charter, King Offa established a church and religious community in Bexhill.
During the Norman Conquest of 1066 it appears that Bexhill was largely destroyed. The Domesday survey of 1086 records that the manor was worth £20 before the conquest, was 'waste' in 1066 and was worth £18 10s in 1086. King William I used the lands he had conquered to reward his knights and gave Bexhill manor to Robert, Count of Eu, with most of the Hastings area. Robert's grandson, John, Count of Eu, gave back the manor to the bishops of Chichester in 1148 and it is probable that the first manor house was built by the bishops at this time. The later manor house, the ruins of which can still be seen at the Manor Gardens in Bexhill Old Town, was built about 1250, probably on the instructions of St. Richard, Bishop of Chichester. St Richard's Catholic College, the local Catholic school, was duly for said bishop. The Manor House was the easternmost residence owned by the bishops and would have been used as a place to stay while travelling around or through the eastern part of their diocese. There were often disputes between the Bishops of Chichester and the Abbots of Battle Abbey, usually about land ownership in this area. In 1276 a large portion of Bexhill was made into a park for hunting and in 1447 Bishop Adam de Moleyns was given permission to fortify the Manor House.
In 1561 Queen Elizabeth I took possession of Bexhill Manor and three years later she gave it to Sir Thomas Sackville, Earl of Dorset. The Earls, later Dukes, of Dorset owned Bexhill until the mid 19th century. Their main residences were Buckhurst Place in Sussex and Knole House in Kent.
In 1804 soldiers of the King's German Legion were stationed in barracks at Bexhill. These troops were Hanoverians who had escaped when their country was overrun by Napoleon's French Army. As King George III was also the Elector of Hanover, he welcomed them and they fought as part of the British Army. At about this time, defensive Martello Towers were built along the south east coast, some near Bexhill, in order to repel any French invasion. In 1814 the soldiers of the King's German Legion left Bexhill, eventually playing an important part in the Battle of Waterloo the following year. The German troops had been here to protect Bexhill from the French. However, many of the local people were actively trading with the enemy by way of smuggling. The best known of the local smugglers were in the Little Common Gang and the most famous incident was the infamous Battle of Sidley Green in 1828.
In 1813 Elizabeth Sackville had married the 5th Earl De La Warr, and when the male line of the Dukes of Dorset died out in 1865 she and her husband inherited Bexhill.
It was the 7th Earl De La Warr who decided to transform the small rural village of Bexhill into an exclusive seaside resort. He contracted the builder, John Webb, to construct the first sea wall and to lay out De La Warr Parade. Webb, in part payment for his work, was given all the land extending from Sea Road to the Polegrove, south of the railway line. Opened in 1890, the luxurious Sackville Hotel was built for the 7th Earl De La Warr and originally included a house for the use of his family. In 1891 Viscount Cantelupe, his eldest surviving son, married Muriel Brassey, the daughter of Sir Thomas and the late Annie, Lady Brassey of Normanhurst Court near Bexhill. The Manor House was fully refurbished so that Lord and Lady Cantelupe could live in style as Lord and Lady of the Manor. Finally, the 7th Earl De La Warr transferred control of his Bexhill estate to Viscount Cantelupe. When the 7th Earl De La Warr died in 1896
Viscount Cantelupe became the 8th Earl De La Warr. At this time he organised the building on the sea front of the Kursaal, a pavilion for refined entertainment and relaxation. He also had a bicycle track made, with a cycle chalet, at the eastern end of De La Warr Parade. These amenities were provided to promote the new resort. Meanwhile, many independent schools were being attracted to the expanding town due to its health-giving reputation. The railway came through Bexhill in 1846, the first railway station being a small country halt situated roughly where Sainsbury's car park is today. This was some distance from the village on the hill. A new station, north of Devonshire Square, was opened in 1891 to serve the growing resort. In 1902 the current railway station was opened and a Bexhill West Station was built for the newly built Crowhurst Branch Line.
1902 was the year that Bexhill became an Incorporated Borough. This was the first Royal Charter granted by Edward VII. Bexhill was the last town in Sussex to be incorporated and it was the first time a Royal Charter was delivered by motorcar. To celebrate the town's newfound status and to promote the resort, the 8th Earl De La Warr organised the country's first ever motorcar races along De La Warr Parade in May 1902. The town was scandalised at this time by the divorce of Earl De La Warr.
Muriel had brought the action on the grounds of adultery and abandonment. She was granted a divorce and given custody of their three children. Muriel, with her children, Myra, Avice and Herbrand, went back to live with Earl Brassey at Normanhurst Court. The 8th Earl De La Warr remarried but was again divorced for adultery. He also suffered recurrent and well-publicised financial difficulties. At the start of the First World War in 1914 the Earl bought a Royal Naval commission. He died of fever at Messina in 1915.
Herbrand Edward Dundonald Brassey Sackville became the 9th Earl De La Warr. He is best known for championing the construction of the De La Warr Pavilion, which was built and opened in 1935. The 9th Earl also became Bexhill's first socialist mayor. He died in 1976.
The Second World War caused the evacuation of the schools and substantial bomb-damage to the town. Many schools returned to Bexhill after the war but there was a steady decline in the number of independent schools in the town. The break-up of the British Empire and in particular the Independence of India in 1947 hastened the process. Most of the schools were boarding and catered largely for the children of the armed forces overseas and of the colonial administration. Although the number of schools decreased, many of the parents and former pupils had fond memories of the town and later retired to Bexhill.

Jeudi dernier Maya a avalé son dernier antibiotique et elle semblait aller mieux.
Ce matin elle a refait de la diarrhée alors nous sommes retournées chez le véto. Elle a pris 115 grammes de poids ce qui est bien, elle joue et mange mais il a prescrit à nouveau 10 jours d'antibiotiques et 5 injections anti-diarrhée.
Cette pancréatite n'est probablement pas complètement guérie, ou c'est la nourriture ou elle a mangé un insecte .....
Allons avec ces 10 jours de pilules et on verra.
Vous imaginez bien que je ne suis pas la plus heureuse en ce moment.....
Last Thursday Maya swallowed her last antibiotic and she seemed to be doing better.
This morning she had diarrhea again so we went back to the vet. She gained 115 grams of weight which is good, she plays and eats but he again prescribed 10 days of antibiotics and 5 anti-diarrhea injections.
This pancreatitis is probably not completely cured, or it's the food or she ate an insect .....
Let's go with these 10 days of the pill and we'll see.
You can imagine that I am not the happiest at the moment .....
Le premier château date probablement de l'an mille. Agrandi, fortifié au 13ème siècle, il prendra une part active dans la guerre de cent ans.
Au XVème siècle, il est embelli et devient une demeure très confortable.
En 1978 à la suite d'un incendie qui détruit les toitures, il est vendu au département de Dordogne qui va le faire restaurer et l'ouvrir au public.
The first castle probably dates from the year one thousand. Enlarged and fortified in the 13th century, it took an active part in the Hundred Years War.
In the 15th century, it was embellished and became a very comfortable residence.
In 1978, following a fire that destroyed the roofs, it was sold to the Dordogne department, which restored it and opened it to the public.
Ce sont des Sternes, caugek probablement. Pas facile de les faire voler devant le soleil, qui lui, a une fâcheuse tendance à descendre très vite!!!
These are Sandwich Terns, probably, Terns anyway. Not easy to have them flying in front of the sun, which is going down very fast!!!
Aquí teniu un gamarús de Laponia (strix nebulosa), probablement l'au de presa noctura més espectacular que podeu veure. Tot i que no tant gros com el duc, el seu gran plomatge circular al entorn d'uns ulls grocs inmensos augmenten la seva magnificencia. I tot i la seva mida el seu vol és d'un silenci absolut.
Pel seu nom entendreu que obviament no és tipic de Catalunya, sino de climes artics. Fotografiat al Cim d'Àligues, de St. Feliu de Codines.

===================
This is a great grey owl (strix nebulosa). Probably the most spectacular night bird of prey in the World. Although not as large as the eurasian eagle-owl, its great circular plumage (facial disk) around its large yellow eyes increases his magnificence. And despite its size its flight is of absolute silence.
Photographed at the Cim d'Àligues birds of prey center, in St. Feliu de Codines, Catalonia.

The Romanesque style hermitage of Vera Cruz (True Cross) is a Catholic temple in the Spanish municipality of Maderuelo, in the province of Segovia (Spain), with a probable date of construction in the 12th century, although it has undergone different restorations.
On December 6, 1924, it was declared an architectural-artistic monument, by means of a royal order published in the Madrid Gazette (the name then given to the Official Gazette of the Spanish State), on December 13, 1924, in which pointed out his "very interesting mural paintings"
These mural paintings, which date from the first half of the 12th century, were transferred to the Prado Museum in 1947 due to the risk of flooding the building as a result of the construction of the Linares reservoir.
Today in the chapel you can see some replicas.
The original frescoes are exhibited in the "Salas del Arte Románico" on the ground floor of the Prado Museum, Madrid, Spain.
To the right of the photo, under the trees, you can see the medieval bridge that re-emerges every time the water level of the Linares reservoir drops due to the drought.

ERMITA ROMANICA DE LA VERA CRUZ, MADERUELO, SEGOVIA, ESPAÑA, 2022
La ermita de estilo románico de la Vera Cruz (True Cross) es un templo católico del municipio español de Maderuelo, en la provincia de Segovia (España), con fecha probable de construcción en el siglo XII, aunque ha sufrido diferentes restauraciones.
El 6 de diciembre de 1924 fue declarada monumento arquitectónico-artístico, mediante una real orden publicada en la Gaceta de Madrid (nombre que se le daba entonces al Boletín Oficial del Estado español), el día 13 de diciembre de 1924, en la que se señalaban sus «interesantísimas pinturas murales»
Estas pinturas murales, que datan de la primera mitad del siglo XII fueron trasladadas en 1947 al Museo del Prado con motivo del riesgo de inundación del inmueble a raíz de la construcción del embalse de Linares.
Hoy en día en la capilla se pueden contemplar unas réplicas.
Los frescos originales se exhiben en las "Salas del Arte Románico" de la planta baja del Museo del Prado, Madrid, España.
A la derecha de la foto, bajo los árboles, se puede ver el puente medieval que reemerge cada vez que baja el nivel de las aguas del embalse de Linares, debido a la sequía.

Horta de Sant Joan és probablement la vila més bonica de la Terra Alta, amb un preciós nucli medieval i unes impressionants vistes sobre els Ports de Tortosa i la muntanya de Santa Bàrbara. També s'anomena Orta.
Sense dubte, el lloc més bonic d'Horta és la Plaça Major, amb els seus porxos, adequadament irregulars.
Picasso hi va viure un temps, i sempre va dir que va tenir una gran influencia en la seva manera de pintar.
ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horta_de_Sant_Joan
=======================
Horta de Sant Joan, in southern Catalonia, is a very beautiful medieval fortified town, with cramped, vaulted streets and squares, a gothic church and impressive views towards the mountains of Ports de Tortosa. It's also known as Orta.
The main square in Horta de Sant Joan is not large but very beautiful, presided by the church and the old town hall.
Picasso stayed here sometimes and developed his art portraying the place.
Champong-Chhnang (Cambodge) - J'aurais préféré avoir un élément humain avec ces deux chiens. Mais les propriétaires de la barge étaient absents, probablement partis vendre du poisson en ville. En attendant leur retour, les chiens veillaient. Ça ne se voit pas trop sur la photo, mais ils n'étaient pas amicaux et grognaient en me voyant approcher d'un peu trop près de leur habitation flottante. Quand je me suis éloigné, ils se sont mis à aboyer. Je ne peux pas leur en vouloir, ils faisaient leur boulot de gardiens.
Pour cette scène en légère contre-plongée, je ne suis pas dans l’eau, mais allongé dans la barque. Cette position m’était imposée pour éviter d’avoir dans la partie supérieure de mon cadre, la toile du parasol planté au milieu de l’embarcation pour nous protéger du soleil.
Natural anti-theft device for barges and boats
Champong-Chhnang (Cambodia) - I would have preferred to have a human element with these two dogs. But the owners of the barge were away, probably gone to sell fish in town. While awaiting their return, the dogs kept watch. It doesn't show too much in the photo, but they weren't friendly and growled when they saw me approaching a little too close to their floating home. When I moved away they started barking. I can't blame them, they were doing their job as guards.
For this slightly low-angle shot, I am not in the water, but lying in the boat. This position was imposed on me to avoid having in the upper part of my frame, the fabric of the parasol planted in the middle of the boat to protect us from the sun.
probablement tué par la Chouette rayée le lendemain / Cooper's Hawk probably killed the day after by the Barred Owl ! RIP.
