Winter storm and light before Christmas in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Waiting impatiently for spring and summer :)

A rare bird for Florida. Franklin's Gulls are very similar to Laughing Gulls. They are slightly smaller, with a smaller bill, larger white eye arcs and a darker, more extensive hood in winter.

 

Some friends and I spent several hours picking through a couple thousand Laughing Gulls at a few different locations in the Daytona Beach area one day this fall. We finally found what we were looking for right before sunset. This is a first cycle (first winter) bird as shown by the brown feathers in the wing.

Les Anneaux de Buren (nommés aussi Les Anneaux) sont une œuvre de Daniel Buren et Patrick Bouchain située sur le Quai des Antilles à Nantes (sur l'île de Nantes).

 

Le long de la Loire et du hangar à bananes, l'œuvre est composée de 18 anneaux de 4 mètres de diamètre et de couleur argent, fixés à la rambarde du quai, situés à égale distance, les uns derrière les autres. La nuit, les anneaux s'éclairent, alternant rouges, verts et bleus.

 

Les Anneaux ont été créés pour laisser place à l'interprétation du visiteur. Néanmoins Daniel Buren a souhaité inscrire son œuvre dans l'histoire de la ville et sa géographie. Ainsi, les cercles formés font référence aux anneaux qui enserraient et emprisonnaient les esclaves, en référence au commerce triangulaire dont Nantes a été la plaque tournante au XVIIIe siècle.

De même, ils évoquent des anneaux de mariage unissant le fleuve, la mer et la terre sur un espace à la croisée des éléments.

 

Les anneaux sont installés sur d'anciens bollards dont l'artiste a respecté le nombre, le rythme et la disposition. L'œuvre a été imaginée de manière à ce que sa vision nocturne soit totalement différente de sa vision diurne : en journée, les anneaux constitués d'acier galvanisé invitent le regard du visiteur à balayer tout le paysage environnant, tandis que la nuit des éclairages aux leds proposent des jeux colorés et lumineux dominants qui s’entrelacent et se fondent les uns dans les autres.

______________________________

Buren's Rings (also called The Rings) is a work of Daniel Buren and Patrick Bouchain located on the Quai des Antilles in Nantes (island of Nantes).

 

Along the Loire and the bananas shed, the work consists of 18 rings, 4 meters diameter, silver colored, attached to the railing of the pier, located at equal distance, one behind the other. At night, the rings are illuminated red, green and blue alternating.

 

The Rings were created to allow interpretation for the visitor. Nevertheless Daniel Buren wanted to include his work in the history of the city and its geography. Thus, circles refer to the rings which enclosed and imprisoned slaves, with reference to the triangular trade. Nantes was the hub of this eighteenth century trade.

 

Similarly, they evoke wedding rings uniting the river, sea and land on a space at the intersection of the elements.

 

The rings are installed on old bollards which the artist has met the number, timing and layout. The work was conceived so that his night vision is completely different from its daytime vision. During the day, the rings made of galvanized steel invite the visitor's eye to sweep all the surrounding landscape, while the night lights LEDs offer the dominant bright, colorful games that intertwine and merge into each other.

One Angel Square

 

One Angel Square[1] is an office building in Manchester, England. Construction work began in 2010 and was completed in February 2013. The landmark building is the head office of the Co-operative Group. Standing 72.5 metres (237.8 feet) tall, the building forms the centrepiece of the new £800 million NOMA development in the northern quarter of Manchester city centre. The building cost at least £105 million to construct and was sold on leaseback terms in 2013 for £142 million.

 

One Angel Square is one of the most sustainable large buildings in Europe and is built to a BREEAM 'Outstanding' rating. It is powered by a biodiesel cogeneration plant using rapeseed oil to provide electricity and heat. The structure makes use of natural resources, maximising passive solar gain for heat and using natural ventilation through its double-skin facade, adiabatic cooling, rainwater harvesting, greywater recycling and waste heat recycling.

 

The building's distinctive form has been compared to a sliced egg and a ship.[16] Its design was announced by architects 3DReid in May 2009 and construction began in July 2010 with a projected completion date in March 2013. In December 2012, the scheme surpassed its pan-European sustainability aims and achieved a world-record BREEAM score of 95.32%. It is also an energy-plus building, producing surplus energy and zero carbon emissions. The building has received numerous awards for its striking aesthetic and sustainability aims.

Panorama da Pralongià.

The Tower of Hercules is the only Roman lighthouse which, since its origins up to the present, has been performing its original function: being an aid to navigation for ships crossing the Atlantic corridor. This peculiarity makes it an outstanding exponent which bears a unique testimony to the numerous lighthouses erected by civilisations of the past by the sea and which have unfortunately been lost to time, while the Tower of Hercules remains faithful to its mission of guiding the seamen who come face to face with the immensity of the ocean on a daily basis.

 

The lighthouse was most likely built in the second half of the 1st century or the early years of the 2nd century A.D. by the Romans at finis terrae (Latin for ‘end of the world’) of the world known, namely, north-western Hispania, at the mouth of the great Gulf of Artabro, which encompasses the rias of El Burgo, Ares and Ferrol (A Coruña, Spain) to guide the ships sailing along the most western coast of the Empire. The location chosen to build it was a rocky hillock, known as Punta Eiras, some 57 metres high, which is between Punta Herminia and Punta del Orzán, thus dominating the northern end of the peninsula on which the city of A Coruña itself rises.

 

This unique construction has a rectangular plan, each side of it measuring approximately 11.75 metres and a total height of 55 metres, of which 34.38 m correspond to the Roman building and 21 to the restoration made in 1789 to modernize the aid to navigation system. Nowadays, the Tower rises on a wide polygonal platform 32.40 metres wide, which is its base. This platform was built in early 19th century. On the outside, the monument has a prismatic structure topped by an octagonal towered section with triangular reinforcement at the corners, thus softening the square plan. This first towered section is followed by another, shorter one which is the base of the lantern where the powerful beacon that lights intrepid seamen is.

___________________________________________________________

La Torre de Hércules es el único faro romano que desde sus orígenes hasta la actualidad ha cumplido con su función primigenia: la de servir de señal marítima e instrumento de navegación para las embarcaciones que en su singladura atraviesan el corredor atlántico. Esta particularidad lo convierte en un ejemplo excepcional como testimonio único de los numerosos faros que las civilizaciones del pasado construyeron a orillas del mar y que, desgraciadamente, se han perdido en el devenir de la historia, mientras que la Torre de Hércules continua cumpliendo con la misión de orientar y dirigir a los hombres del mar que se enfrentan diariamente con la inmensidad del océano.

 

El faro fue construido con toda probabilidad en la segunda mitad del siglo I o en los primeros años del siglo II d. C. por el Imperio romano en el finis terrae del mundo conocido, es decir, en el noroeste de Hispania, en la entrada del gran Golfo Ártabro que comprende las rías del Burgo, Ares y Ferrol (A Coruña. España), para acompañar a los barcos que bordeaban el extremo más occidental del Imperio. El lugar elegido para su emplazamiento fue una loma rocosa, denominada Punta Eiras, de casi 57 metros de altura, que se encuentra entre Punta Herminia y Punta del Orzán, dominando el extremo septentrional de la península en la que se asienta la propia ciudad de A Coruña.

 

Esta singular construcción es de planta cuadrangular de aproximadamente 11,75 m de lado y presenta una altura total de 55 m, de los cuales 34,38 m corresponden a la fábrica romana y 21 m a la restauración realizada en 1789 para modernizar el sistema de señalización marítima. En la actualidad la Torre se levanta sobre una amplia plataforma poligonal de 32,40 m de ancho, que le sirve de base y que fue construida a principios del siglo XIX. Exteriormente, el monumento presenta una estructura prismática sobre la que se dispone un remate torreado octogonal con refuerzos de sección triangular en las esquinas, que suaviza el arranque de la base cuadrada. A este primer cuerpo torreado le sucede otro, decreciente en altura, que sirve de base a la linterna en la que se encuentra la potente lámpara que ilumina con su luz a los intrépidos navegantes.

*my texture*

The day began before dawn on a cold day at the top of Mt Haleakalā. We easily descended miles into the crater on the Shifting Sands Trail with all our camera gear on our backs, happily shooting dozens of photos of this amazing moonscape. At some point we realized, oh we should turn around and head back up, mindful we had descended at least 4 miles. Halfway up we discussed leaving our precious tripods at the side of the trail, 3/4 of the way up we were ready to leave all our gear behind to save ourselves from heart attacks. Slowly and with many stops, we made it back to the car with all our equipment in tow. A day not to be forgotten, despite the pain I'd do it all over again to be part of that magnificent landscape. We are told NEVER shoot directly into the sun, I believe rules are made to be broken, how else would I have captured this colorful flare?

Have a great Tuesday, my flickrino friends! ♥

The Matterhorn (German), Cervino (Italian) or Cervin (French), is a mountain in the Pennine Alps. With its 4,478 metres (14,692 ft) high summit, lying on the border between Switzerland and Italy, it is one of the highest peaks in the Alps and its 1,200 metres (3,937 ft) north face is one of the Great north faces of the Alps.

 

The individual pieces of the chocolate bar Toblerone are claimed by its maker Kraft to be formed in the likeness of the Matterhorn.

 

Zermatt (French: Praborgne) is a municipality in the district of Visp in the German-speaking section of the canton of Valais in Switzerland.

 

It is located at the northern base of the Matterhorn in the Pennine Alps, about 10 km from the border with Italy.

 

Zermatt has a permanent population of around 5,500 people, although the actual population varies considerably through the seasons as tourists come and go. The village is situated at the end of Mattertal, a north-facing valley, at an altitude of 1,620m (5,315ft). The valley is a dead end; although the border with Italy is close, it cannot be crossed by road, as it traverses a glacier at an altitude of over 3,000m. Zermatt is the starting point of the Patrouille des Glaciers and the Haute Route.

The Alps (French: Alpes; German: Alpen; Italian: Alpi; Romansh: Alps; Slovene: Alpe) is the name for one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east, through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. The word "Alps" was taken via French from Latin Alpes (meaning "the Alps"), which may be influenced by the Latin words albus (white) or altus (high) or more likely a Latin rendering of a Celtic or Ligurian original.

 

The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc, at 4,808 metres (15,774 ft), on the Italian-French border. All the main peaks of the Alps can be found in the list of mountains of the Alps and list of Alpine peaks by prominence.

 

The Alps are generally divided into the Western Alps and the Eastern Alps. The division is along the line between Lake Constance and Lake Como, following the Rhine. The Western Alps are higher, but their central chain is shorter and curved; they are located in Italy, France and Switzerland. The Eastern Alps (main ridge system elongated and broad) belong to Austria, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovenia and Switzerland.

 

The Alps are a classic example of what happens when a temperate area at lower altitude gives way to higher elevation terrain. Elevations around the world which have cold climates similar to those found in polar areas have been called alpine. A rise from sea level into the upper regions of the atmosphere causes the temperature to decrease. The effect of mountain chains on prevailing winds is to carry warm air belonging to the lower region into an upper zone, where it expands in volume at the cost of a proportionate loss of heat, often accompanied by the precipitation of moisture in the form of snow or rain.

Verbier is a ski resort in the Swiss Alps, in the canton of Valais. It is part of the "Four Valleys" ski area, which includes the ski resorts of Verbier, Nendaz, Veysonnaz, La Tzoumaz, and Thyon. Verbier is recognized as one of the premiere "off-piste" resorts worldwide. Many top skiers have settled in the resort in order to take advantage of the steep slopes, varied conditions and vibrant nightlife. Verbier is also a popular holiday destination for celebrities, including Sarah Ferguson, Diana Ross, James Blunt and The Crown Prince Couple of Denmark: Frederik and Mary.

 

Verbier is located in the Val de Bagnes, in the Valais region of Switzerland. The resort lies on a south orientated terrace at around 1,500 metres facing the Grand Combin massif.

 

Verbier only has one access road, which starts in the town of Le Châble.

 

The Grand Combin is a mountain in the western Pennine Alps in Switzerland. With its 4,314 metres (14,154 ft) high summit it is one of the highest peaks in the Alps and the second most prominent of its range.

The Grand Combin is also a large glaciated massif consisting of several summits, among which three are above 4000 metres.

And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak

And I seem to find the happiness I seek

When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

 

Oh, I love to climb a mountain and to reach the highest peak

But it doesn't thrill me half as much as dancing cheek to cheek

thank you [http://www.flickr.com/photos/pareeerica/] for the wonderful texture

 

have a fabulous weekend, my friends!

A Cidade do Rio de Janeiro é conhecida mundialmente pelas belezas de suas Praias Urbanas, mas o que muitos não sabem, inclusive muitos cariocas, é que dentro da cidade do Rio de Janeiro existem 05 praias praticamente Selvagens que só é possivel chegar atraves de Barco ou por trilha.

 

Já estou para ir neste lugar a mais de dois meses, mas por um motivo ou por outro sempre cancelava a ida, mas finalmente no feriado da ultima sexta tive a oportunidade de conhecer esse que para mim é um dos lugares mais fantásticos da nossa cidade.

 

A Trilha apesar de ser cansativa, é relativamente facil de seguir exceto por alguns trechos de subida que exigem um pouco mais de esforço para os que não estão acostumados a fazer trlha, mas todo esforço e cansaço são esquecidos quando chegamos a este paraiso escondido dentro da nossa cidade.

 

No local temos a Pedra da Tartaruga, uma enorme pedra que lembra a cabeça de um tartaruga e que irei postar uma foto brevemente, muito procurada para a pratica rapel, sendo considerado o local mais bonito para esse esporte na cidade.

 

Das 05 praias estive apenas em tres, pois o sol estava muito quente e não me animei de conhecer todas, Temos:

A Praia do Meio a maior das 05 praias com 350 metros de extensão e que aparece na foto é a preferida por surfistas, a Praia de Pedra conhecida como praia de Buzios e a Praia do Perigoso, que tem esse nome devido ser a rota de fuga de presos perigosos que escapavam do extinto presidio da Ilha Grande, alem destas existe a praia do inferno que é visivel do alto da Pedra da tartaruga e a Praia Funda que tem um trilha mais complicada de chegar.

 

* A primeira foto da sequencia, foi tirada do Alto da Pedra da Tartaruga, ao meu lado no primeiro plano esta a Praia do Perigoso, depois a Praia do Meio que aparece na Foto Principal de outro angulo e ao fundo a Praia do Inferno.

* A Segunda foto mostra a Praia de Buzios que fica do Lado Oposto a Praia do Perigoso.
