Mur de l'Atlantique - Atlantikwall

La batterie côtière de Capbreton était composée de 4 casemates modèle 652 armées de canons de 105 mm Schneider. Apparu en 1943, ce plan-type représente un volume bâti de 880 mètres cube. Le poste de commandement pour batterie côtière de l´armée de terre de type 636 est un modèle classique pour ce genre de batterie. De nombreux abris sont disséminés sur la plage (modèles M 283, 610, 622). Les blockhaus sont aujourd'hui immergés à chaque marée haute….Le déchainement des éléments, vent, vague et coefficient de marée à 112, a aussi fait réapparaitre des vestiges de la seconde guerre mondiale, certains bunkers allemands enfouis depuis plus de 30 ans ont refait leur apparition sur les plages de la Gravière et des Culs Nus. L’ancien mur de l’Atlantique pourrait enfin servir à quelque chose: repousser les assauts de plus en plus répétés de l’océan, Rommel ou Von Rundstedt n’avaient certainement pas imaginés cette utilisation quand ils ont conçu et fait construire le fameux Atlantikwall de 4000 kilomètres de long…D’autres réapparitions ont été signalées du côté de la Gironde et des Charentes! Avec le recul du trait de côte déjà enregistré fin février, le littoral a une nouvelle fois battu en retraite et les vestiges de la seconde guerre mondiale n’ont pas fini de refaire parler d’eux….

Clearing light (Oeilleton de franchissement)

The luminous panels of the carré's have a small white light which is on when the signal shows an aspect other than the closed carré or manœuvre.

The clearing light is used to avoid any confusion between these aspects: carré and sémaphore,

if one of the red lights isn't working.

Zoals elk jaar organiseerde de Veluwse Stoomtrein Maatschappij (VSM) weer hun grootse stoomevenement Terug naar Toen. Dit jaar weer met veel stoom en dieselloks die diverse goederen en personentreinen reden tussen Apeldoorn en Dieren. Voor ons lag de nadruk vooral op de goederentreinen en enkele nieuwe fotomotieven (seinen die nieuw geplaats waren).

As every year, the Veluwe Steam Train Company (VSM) once again organized their largest steam event 'Terug naar Toen' (Return to the Past). This year again, many steam and dieselloks with various goods and passenger trains ran between Apeldoorn and Dieren. For us, the focus was mainly on freight trains and some new photo motifs (new signs that were placed).

Wie jedes Jahr, organisierte die Veluwe Dampf Zug Verein (VSM) wieder ihre größte Dampf Veranstaltung ' Zurück nach Damals'. In diesem Jahr zogen wieder Dampf und Dieselloks die verschiedene Güter und Personenzüge zwischen Apeldoorn und Dieren. Für uns war der Fokus vor allem auf Güterzüge und einige neue Fotomotive (neue Signale, die neu aufgestelt wurden).

SNCF Voie Libre and Carré signals at Mullhouse-Ville by Mark Vogel

This is an SNCF Voie libre (VL) signal on the left

The white light on the top is a Direction indicator (Indicateur de direction (ID)

By luminous signalling, the direction indicator is made of 2 to 6 white lights horizontally aligned;

by mechanical signalling, it is made of 2 to 6 white wings, vertically aligned.

This signal tells the direction the train is steered to, from the left – geographically, not depending on switches.

The voie libre indicates to the driver that normal circulation is allowed, if nothing is opposed to it.

This is an SNCF Carré (C) signal on the right

This protection signal is used to protect trackside equipments or parts of track (points (switches), crossings, laybys).

The closed carré commands the driver to stop before the signal.

Globe céleste - 1144 - Palais du Louvre - Juillet 2017 by Num

Iran, 1144. Signé Yunus b.al-Husayn al-Asturlabi.

Bronze gravé incrusté d'Argent, exposé au Musée du Louvre

Instrument d'étude et de mesure, un astrolabe sphérique est un modèle tridimensionnel des cieux. Celui-ci est le 3e plus ancien conservé au monde.

Il porte les 48 constellations identifiées par le Grec Ptolémée à Alexandrie au 2e siècle. Les 1025 étoiles sont signalées par des points d'argent dont la taille varie en fonction de la brillance observée de l'astre. L'inscription gravée par Yunus dit qu'il refit les calculs de coordonnées en tenant compte du temps écoulé depuis l’œuvre de Ptolémée.
