Madagascar. Nosy Be.
Lokobé Reserve.
The Cicadidae Y. guttulata Sign. is an important pest of sugar cane in northwestern Madagascar.
Cicadas live underground as nymphs for most of their lives, at depths ranging from about 30 cm (1 ft) up to 2.5 m (about 8½ ft). The nymphs feed on root juice and have strong front legs for digging.
In the final nymphal instar, they construct an exit tunnel to the surface and emerge. They then molt (shed their skins), on a nearby plant for the last time and emerge as adults. The abandoned skins remain, still clinging to the bark of trees.
On this wikipedia page you can see a cicada molting.
From The Car Connection (http://www.thecarconnection.com/review/1014063_2008-scion-xd) -
A unique exterior and a functional interior mesh for a funky, utilitarian aesthetic in the 2008 Scion xD.
From the outside, the 2008 Scion xD has a very aggressive style, with flared wheel wells filled by standard 16-inch wheels or optional alloys that range up to 18 inches. Says Car and Driver, “anyone who remembers the rounder version of the bean-and-box duo that launched Scion in the U.S. will be hard pressed to see the xD as anything but a replacement for the xA.” Critics generally like the departure from the xA’s rather generic duds, with adjectives such as “polarizing” (Car and Driver), “sharper,” (Automobile), and “dramatically styled” (Road & Track). Concludes Automobile, “sharper styling, a wider stance, and tighter wheel-to-fender clearance eliminate the jellybean comparisons that plagued the xA.”
The interior also shows that Scion learned lessons from the slow-selling xA. Gone is the awkward center-mounted speedometer, replaced by “a more traditional driver centered dash layout,” though it does have a nontraditional arrangement of speedo and tach in the same circular housing, “with their respective needles fluttering independently,” says Automobile. The “dash is simple and easy to navigate,” according to Kelley Blue Book.
Conclusion
The 2008 Scion xD makes a more compelling statement than its predecessor, the xA.
Our house cat, named Buddy, image from 2012. Had forgotten this bw-conversion until today. Took this with the lens wide open at f/1,4, so not much is in focus. Bw calms it down, as our cat is rather orange. Edit in Elements 8.

Seaton Delaval Hall (National Trust property in Northumberland) ...
'Seaton Delaval Hall is a great house set in its own estate with lovely gardens and a fine collection; bit it is also much more.
It is a signpost pointing to the diverse history of a family which acquired land here in the late 11th century. The house occupies the site of a Norman settlement, and its original Norman chapel remains in use today.
Built between 1719 and 1730 for Admiral George Delaval, it is not only the finest house in the north east of England, but also among the finest works of its architect, Sir John Vanbrugh, one of the masters of English Baroque.
For 900 years, the estate has been a stage for drama, intrigue and romance while the surrounding landscape has fuelled industrial revolution. The house has survived terrible fires, military occupation and potential ruin.' NT

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Freeway blockades are a power but dangerous tactic and need careful planning and messaging. DO NOT TREAT LIGHTLY.
Best to have at least one vehicle per lane and banner/blockade to stretch entire width of road, including shoulder. Vehicles line up (side by side) and slow down gradually together at a planned and scouted location It may be possible to use the police tactic of slowly swerving left and right IF you can do so safely, in sync with other blockade vehicles. Best scenario is to have two cars per lane so that the rear line of cars stay at front of stopped traffic, are friendly and nearest the banner after front row of vehicles drive away after banner is deployed.
Banner team/blockaders should be in one or more of the front row of vehicles and exit with the banner. (Practice this many times before attempting.) U-Locks around neck to banner pole can lengthen time of blockade and give negotiating power. Signage and communication with media can give context to the frustrated travelers - many of whom might sympathize with the cause, but are under normal pressures we all can relate to.
AGAIN: Vehicles and people can be deadly - so be sure that there is plenty of support for de-escalating drivers and cops. DO NOT carry any weapons, pocket knives, drugs, etc. Designate a police liaison and have no one else speak to the police. Blockaders should not have to speak with public. Have "charm squad" /de-escalation crew do that. Express sympathy, etc. Have a plan for emergency vehicles. Make sure supporters with clear messaging can be seen at the overpass near the planned spot and it's even better if there's access to freeway so pedestrian supporters can join the blockade.
Be very, VERY careful and take care of each other. DO NOT ever try a tactic like this without adequate support and preparation.
Another example is the Motown Slowdown from whom we learned about this tactic. www.clickondetroit.com/news/protesters-block-southbound-i...
