Retour aux anciens Bains et Thermes liégeois transformés en Cité Miroir, un lieu de débat, d'éducation et de culture.
L’échevin liégeois Georges Truffaut lance le projet des Bains et Thermes. Il comprend deux bassins de natation, une station d'autobus, une section d'hydrothérapie, des locaux annexes, un café-restaurant, un dancing. L'architecte moderniste Georges Dedoyard sera désigné au terme d'un concours au règlement très strict.
Le bâtiment est achevé sous l’occupation nazie et ouvre ses portes au public en mai 1942. Georges Truffaut, décédé en résistant en Angleterre un mois auparavant, ne verra jamais son projet abouti.
Considéré comme l’une des plus importantes réalisations du style moderniste de l’entre-deux-guerres, le bâtiment de la Sauvenière adopte les formes d’un paquebot aux proportions majestueuses. A l’intérieur, l’élément le plus singulier est le grand hall des bassins qui s’étend sur 80 mètres de long et plus de 10 mètres de haut.
Dedoyard s’est inspiré du courant artistique et architectural allemand Bauhaus. Les formes élémentaires - ici le cube et la sphère - sont mises en valeur, la symétrie règne. Les murs nus, les lignes épurées, l’omniprésence du béton armé et du verre vont dans le sens de cette architecture essentiellement fonctionnaliste.
Return to the old Liège baths and thermal baths transformed into a Cité Miroir, a place of debate, education and culture.
The Liège alderman Georges Truffaut launched the Bains et Thermes project. It includes two swimming pools, a bus station, a hydrotherapy section, additional premises, a café-restaurant, a dance hall. The modernist architect Georges Dedoyard will be appointed after a competition with very strict regulations.
The building was completed under the Nazi occupation and opened its doors to the public in May 1942. Georges Truffaut, who had died in resistance in England a month earlier, would never see his project succeeded.
Considered one of the most important achievements of the Modernist style of the interwar period, the Sauvenière building takes the form of a liner of majestic proportions. Inside, the most unique feature is the large pool hall which stretches 80 meters long and more than 10 meters high.
Dedoyard was inspired by the German Bauhaus artistic and architectural movement. The elementary forms - here the cube and the sphere - are highlighted, symmetry reigns. Bare walls, clean lines, the omnipresence of reinforced concrete and glass go in the direction of this essentially functionalist architecture.

This wonderful building used to be an unpretentious public house with white walls which was called The Swan and which closed in March 2020. It has been renovated and transformed into a meeting point for the youth of the area.
Odashiro wetland, the environment, forest of a white birch and a larch
The wetlands which are much at the small wetlands circled by forest.
Wetlands in the high plain where a plant grows and is just neat.
They seem to say so.
After it rains in hoarfrost field in real autumn October.
It's a morning mist so that you may say that it be sure on the day which cleared up.
It often starts to occur.
It's the autumnal tints of the larch in autumn leaves and the last ten days at the first ten days.
Grassland is colored beautifully.
I aimed at a chance and went, feeling,
A morning mist is beautiful faintly in a morning of , the landscape, illusion
It was transformed into a mark.
It shines on wetlands and turning woods of the fog deposit in which I peaked and is included.
The morning sun, while shaking a body in a chill, an expectation, chest
is the result for which I waited eagerly earnestly!
This juvenile Red-necked Grebe is beginning to acquire its adult plumage with the neck turning to red, but it still has it's "prison plumage" as I call it, that black and white striping on it's head. This bird was the progeny of my recent adult grebe photo that I've put a link to in the comments below for comparison.

It’s amazing how transformative ultraviolet fluorescence can be. This is a black weevil sitting on a white daisy to our eyes, but when photographed with intense ultraviolet light, the fluorescing light bouncing off is magical. View large and read on!
I was out for a walk with my daughter yesterday and along the road was a small patch of daisies. I was going to pick one for her, but I realized she had already fallen asleep. I still went to pluck one for later, but noticed a very tiny weevil resting in the center. This quickly became MY flower, and while my daughter slept in her stroller I hurried back home to get this weevil unto my UV studio setup.
For reference, this is likely the species of weevil that is in my image: www.kerbtier.de/Pages/Fotos/FotoLargeN/Curculionidae/Ceut... - the Cabbage Seed Pod Weevil.
Weevils are generally cooperative insects, and this one was also sluggish from a colder night. I could gently poke it’s backside to get him to move in the direction I wanted, towards the outer edge of the petals. He was still somewhat unpredictable, but eventually this pose happened and I thought it was more dynamic “hanging off” than just a static resting position. Shortly after the image was taken, he warmed up and became quite active and I was unable to get the same level of cooperation. That’s quite alright – I already got the shot I was after.
The flashes I’m using only emit ultraviolet light, which the camera cannot directly see. If UV light bounced back to the camera, we’d get a black image. The visible light that bounces off the subject has fluoresced from the UV spectrum to give us what you’re looking at. UVIVF or UltraViolet-Induced Visible Fluorescence is the physics at work here – nothing special about the camera, it’s unmodified – it’s all about getting a purely UV-only light source.
Most things fluoresce, but to such a small degree that we would never know it. I’ve modified Yongnuo 685 flashes to remove a UV blocking filter and then adding two 77mm filters to the front of the flash head: a MidOpt BP365 and a Hoya U340. Each of these block the visible spectrum almost entirely, but each one bleeds a bit on opposite ends of visible (one red, the other purple). Combined, the isolate UV very nicely. They’re not cheap, however! In order to get enough light for this image to be made, I need three of these flashes at point-blank range at full power.
Even with that much UV light, this image required ISO 8000. While the depth of field is very shallow, F/8 was used to get as much in focus as possible at roughly 2:1 magnification and cropped in heavily from there. Technically speaking this image is just barely possible to be made – it pushes limits. Visually, we end up with something out of this world – a white flower with a black beetle become something enchanting.
While I can’t explore UV photography with large groups, I most certainly run private workshops in this area! Just send a note to don@komarechka.com if you’re interested. :)

Humor Monastery is an Orthodox monastery in Romania, built in 1530 by the great logician Toader Bubuiog. The monastery church has the dedications of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and Saint George the Martyr.
The monastery complex consists of:
* The Church "Assumption of the Virgin Mary" and "St. Gheorghe” built in 1530,
* The ruins of the monastery houses dating back to the 16th-18th century,
* The bell tower dating from the 19th century.
* Vasile Lupu's tower built in 1641.
The founder of this church, Toader Bubuiog, was a high political dignitary, holding the Roman Catholic parishes (1516-1523) and the great logofat of Moldova (1525-1537). During the reign of Petru Rareș, he carried out diplomatic missions in Transylvania (1527), Turkey (1528) and Poland (1532). He was married to Anastasia, the daughter of logician Ioan Tăutu (founder of the "St. Nicholas" Church in Balinese).
According to the custom, the founder built with the church and the cells for the monks and surrounding walls. In 1641, the ruler Vasile Lupu (1634-1653) surrounded the foundation of the logician Toader Bubuiog with durable stone walls and built a massive ground floor tower with three floors. In 1653, Timucus Hmelnitsky's Cossacks robbed and burned down the place of worship.
In January 1775, as a result of the attitude of neutrality it had during the military conflict between Turkey and Russia (1768-1774), the Habsburg Empire (today's Austria) received part of the territory of Moldova, a territory known as Bucovina. After the annexation of Bukovina by the Habsburg Empire in 1775, the locality of Humor Monastery was part of the Duchy of Bukovina, governed by the Austrians, being part of the Gura Humor district (in German Gurahumora).
The Habsburg authorities abolished the Humor Monastery on the basis of the Imperial Ordinance of June 19, 1783, of Emperor Joseph II (1780-1790), passing all the lands and funds administered by the Bishopric of Rădăuților "under the charge of the king's dominion and fort". After the monastery was abolished, the cells were almost completely ruined. The church has been transformed into a parish church. In the buildings of the former monastic ensemble there was a school for the children of the locals, and since 1850 they have been used as a warehouse for the materials of the Austrian authorities.
After the Union of Bukovina with Romania (1918), the church of the former Humor monastery continued to function as a parish church, and due to its artistic beauty it was integrated into the tourist circuit.
In the 60s-70s of the 20th century, important restoration work was carried out on the Humor Monastery. The pictorial ensemble of pronaos and crypt was restored in 1971 - 1972 with the financial and specialized support of UNESCO. On this occasion, the roof of the church was redone by enlarging the eaves to protect the exterior paintings as much as possible from the weather. Also, the tower built by Vasile Lupu was restored, filling the cracks in the walls, restoring the walls and the collapsed vaults, replacing the stone floors, consolidating the stairs and restoring the wooden balcony and the roof.
Only in July 1991, by the decision of Archbishop Pimen Zainea de Suceva and Rădăuților, the Humor Monastery was reactivated as a monastic settlement of nuns. At present, there are about 20 nuns who divide their time between church duties and work in painting and tailoring workshops for priestly vestments.
👉In 1993, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) included the Church "The Assumption of the Virgin Mary" and "St. Gheorghe ”of the Humor Monastery, together with seven other churches from the north of Moldova (Arbore, Pătrăuți, Moldovița, Probota,“ St. Ioan cel Nou ”from Suceava, Sucevița and Voroneț), on the list of world cultural heritage, in the group of Painted Churches in the north Moldova.

The first place we headed to once arriving at Death Valley on this round was Dante’s View. Here, at 5’476 feet (1,669 meters) above sea level, you get an outstanding view of a good chunk of the park overlooking Badwater Basin. As Badwater Basin is as low as 282 feet (86 meters) below sea level, this is seen from well over a mile up. This year, however, water has been present in the basin. That’s not unheard of, though the fact this water has been there for better than five months is. The park was hit by Hurricane Hillary last year that dumped more rain in the park in an hour than it typically receives in a year. Considered a ‘millennial event’, the result was major damage throughout the park from flooding, transforming the face of the park in many places overnight. Wildrose Road and Titus Canyon are still impassable and may take many years to recover.
The park is still getting rain as of this past week in an ongoing event that meteorologists have dubbed an ‘atmospheric river’. That has left the park with 4.9 inches of rain over the last six months, which is more than double the normal 2 inches of annual rainfall. That has been good for the wildflowers found in Death Valley, though few are evident in the Badwater region due to the high concentration of salt. That salt is apparent here as white spread throughout the basin. Whenever water covers Badwater Basin, it becomes the ephemeral pluvial body known as Lake Manly. According to NASA’s Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite, Lake Manly spread to 6 miles long and 3 miles wide in early February of this year, ranging as deep as 3 feet. It was fascinating to be here during such an historical occurrence.
Across the basin from here is snowcapped Telescope Peak in the Panamint Mountain Range. At 11, 049 feet (3368 meters), it is the highest peak in Death Valley National Park.

Excerpt from irisvanherpen.com:
MICRO – Inspired by the pictures that science photographer Steve Gschmeissner took using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) technology, Micro zooms in on the world of microorganisms that is completely hidden from our sight.
The pictures show specimens that are dead, dried, and chemically fixated to preserve and stabilize their structures. Van Herpen remains interested in the living organism. Her designs allude to armature, tentacles, cell structures, and plasma. Some seem moist others glow and move while being worn, coming to live on the body.

In a late version of the Medusa myth, related by the Roman poet Ovid (Metamorphoses 4.770), Medusa was originally a beautiful maiden, "the jealous aspiration of many suitors," priestess in Athena's temple, but when she was raped, or seduced, by the "Lord of the Sea" Poseidon in Athena's temple, the enraged virgin goddess transformed her beautiful hair to serpents and made her face so terrible to behold that the mere sight of it would turn a man to stone. In Ovid's telling, Perseus describes Medusa's punishment by Athena as just and well-deserved.
