Une des dernières visites du trois mats "La boudeuse" avant son démâtage pour remonter la Seine vers son port d'attache Fécamp au cours du mois de janvier 2016.
Le nuove "Gravita" vennero concepite dagli uffici tecnici Voith e DB non solo per i compiti di manovra pesante, ma anche e soprattutto per affiancare le Br294 nei servizi di terminalizzazione e smistamento al traino di tradotte.
In questo scatto assistiamo ad una corsa prova di una fiammante Br265 al traino di un convoglio ordinario in viaggio lungo la Haunetal. (1/8/13)

The geological term for this metamorphic rock is prismatic
sandstone. Ku-ring-gai Council mined this quarry for ‘white metal', a hard stone used for road building, railway tracks and local houses. The quarry commenced operations in the 1890s and may have been called Wilkes Quarry after the family that owned it. In 1915, newspaper records stated:
'The shire council' of Ku-ring-gai ...is properly reconstructing and efficiently repairing the Lane Cove Road from Roseville to Wahroonga… with a foundation of 4 inches of white metal from the Council’s quarry in Killara. "
In 1946 the quarry land was transferred for public park purposes and fell into disrepair until 1992 when the site was upgraded to its current layout for use by local residents. In 2007 local residents, with the support of Ku-ring-gai Council, formed a Parkcare group (QUARRY MASONS FOREST PARKCARE GROUP) to maintain the reserve for the community which enables them to improve their environment in a hands-on way. Council provides.a Parkcare trainer who assists the group with education and training, jncluding plant identification and weed removal techniques. The Parkcare program directly contributes to improving the park and surrounding bushland for the residents of the future. S20N_347
OK, I’ve been forced to reveal this picture earlier than planned. I'm sorry if it's not as explicit as some of you may have been hoping for!, but I am finding it hard to convey intimacy and sensuality with just two flower stems and not even any leaves to mimic arms! Is it just me, or am I actually getting something 'intimate' in the positioning I have achieved?
I don’t know why I came up with the “Ooooh Henry”title but it just came into my head as I looked at his loving look down into her eyes (probably screwed shut) and her murmuring those words as she …… Well!.
But having given it that title I wondered what I could write about the picture so I Googled “Oooh Henry!” and suddenly the Urban Dictionary was there saying
1. A crunchy chocolate bar.
2. What a girl usually shouts when she's in bed with a guy named Henry
I'm not showing you the link you get if you Google "Oh Henry" and pick the Urbandictionary link as it is yuk further down. But....
Now, I hadn’t actually heard of an Oh Henry chocolate bar, but I’m better informed now (and it looks rather tasty) but the bit “What a girl usually shouts when she's in bed with a guy named Henry” fitted well with my picture of two romantic daffodils.
So I wondered if I Googled “Oh Mike Urbandictionary” if Mike would have as much luck. Well, it got more complex as it would with Mike, and the details got saucier too, especially if you kept reading down, to the point that I only dare share the link rather than duplicate what it says, here www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Mike
But I have more romantically themed flower pictures to take, so I’m off now.

Les bayous
Un monde amphibie étrange et fascinant.
Les Bayous de Louisiane
Le terme « bayous », qui signifie « serpent » en indien, désigne le vaste territoire de marécages qui s’étend au Sud-est de la Louisiane, dans le pays cajun. Les plus proches se situent à seulement une vingtaine de minutes en voiture de La Nouvelle Orléans, à Laplace.
Ces anciens bras et méandres du Mississippi ont nourri une forêt ressemblant à une jungle mystérieuse. Elle mélange en un dense fouillis des cyprès géants, dont les racines plongent au fond de l’eau, à des palétuviers, somptueux et mystérieux rideaux de mousse espagnole. Les bayous s’étendent sur des centaines d’hectares truffés de bras d’eau constituant un réseau navigable de milliers de kilomètres de boyaux qui vont et viennent dans un silence absolu et fascinant, mus par un mouvement très lent de marée, imperceptible. Cet espace amphibie de Louisiane était jadis occupé par les Cadiens qui vivaient de la pêche et de la chasse. Ces francophones ont baptisé leurs territoires de noms qui respirent encore la culture française : Bayou Vermillon, Bayou Bourdeu, Bayou Mouchoir de l’Ours ou Bayou Queue de Tortue…
Un rêve d’ornithologue
Ici, il n’est pas rare de voir apparaître des groupes d’alligators très impressionnants assurant le spectacle devant des touristes qui en restent souvent bouche bée. Ils sont incontestablement les stars des bayous. Ces marais sont également peuplés d’autres espèces animales aquatiques comme les tortues, les ragondins ou les ratons laveurs. Ils sont surtout un eldorado pour les passionnés d’ornithologie qui peuvent y observer environ 300 espèces d’oiseaux différentes : du héron bleu ou blanc au pélican blanc ou brun, en passant par le balbuzard et la buse à queue rousse, le gros bec, le cormoran, le martin-pêcheur, le canard ramier, sans oublier le fameux pygargue à tête blanche ou aigle d’Amérique, symbole de la nation.
Des excursions au cœur de cette nature sauvage, si caractéristique avec sa végétation aquatique entremêlée, sont organisées en bateau ou en barque à fond plat, notamment en fin de journée quand la magie du site est à son comble et que la faune y entonne un concert pour saluer la fin du jour. L’idéal est d’être guidé par un cajun de souche ou par un ancien chasseur d’alligators, toujours prêt à raconter de croustillantes anecdotes…
The term Mad as a Hatter comes from the 18th and 19th centuries. Many men who worked in the hat industry would experience insane-like symptoms due to mercury poisoning. Mercury was a key chemical that workers used to convert animal fur into felts for hats.
Optimo Hat Company was founded in 1996 by Graham Thompson, who has spent his career recovering and advancing the lost art of fine hatmaking. The journey has taken him around the world in search of the finest materials and in locating and bringing back to life antique machinery from the Golden Age of hatmaking.
Located in the historic Monadnock building. On the corner of Jackson and Dearborn.

Lives for several months trapping insects inside it's long throat. There are several different carnivorous plants which have modified leaves known as pitfall traps—a prey-trapping mechanism featuring a deep cavity filled with digestive liquid. The traps of what are considered to be 'true' pitcher plants are formed by specialized leaves. The plants attract and drown their prey with nectar. The term 'pitcher plant' generally refers to members of the Nepenthaceae and Sarraceniaceae families. The purple pitcher plant, Sarracenia purpurea, is the floral emblem of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. 32413
Scenes like this are scattered around the countryside of Oman. I didn't hear the term oasis used as these areas are not really an area to escape a desert, but an orchard to grow dates. Dates are one of Oman's major exports, along with fish, oil and copper.
Dates are also part of the ritual of welcoming a guest. They, along with Omani coffee, are usually offered as a form of hospitality. This is a custom that has been part of the Omani culture for centuries.

As is now the case in many parts of the world it is becoming increasingly common to refer to landmarks by the name used by the earliest settlers. We have seen this only recently in Australia with Ayers Rock being referred to as Uluru or in the U.S Mt Mckinley's name changed to Denali. Fitz Roy is gradually becoming more widely known as Cerro Chalten. The word 'Chalten' can loosely be translated as 'smoking mountain' which was a term used by the indigenous Ahònikenk. It was long assumed that this mountain was an active volcano.
Another tid bit of information; the sharks tooth shaped peak between Poincenot and Fitz Roy (the one in shadow) is commonly know as Aguja de la Silla, it in fact received a second name when it was christened by the 1952 French Fitz Roy expedition. Half jokingly they called it Pointe du Cinéaste (filmmaker’s point) for its striking appearance and unique location, and because they could foresee that the expedition’s film maker Georges Strouvé would have wished to sit on its very top to make the film of his life.
