The Dordogne is not just a region of France. It gets its name from the eponymous river which flows through it. However, that river begins in Auvergne, on the slopes of the Puy de Sancy volcano, with the meeting of two mountain streams, the Dore and the Dogne.

 

The Dordogne then snakes through the Cantal mountains and becomes quite a wide river already before it leaves the mountainous region of Auvergne.

Pictures and story of our recent trip in wintry Copenhagen. What a beautiful place!

 

Story on my blog, here

Latin Name: Sympetrum striolatum

Habitat

Ponds and other still, stagnant or even brackish waters are used, and they are frequently found at small garden ponds.

 

They are frequently found away from water, resting on the tops of plants in woodland rides.

 

Status & Distribution

Abundant across the British Isles. Less common in upland areas of Scotland and northern England.

 

Similar Species

Similar appearance to other Darter species, particularly Ruddy Darter

 

Common Darter can be distinguished by its:

 

pale leg stripes

males: yellow patches on the sides of the thorax.

 

Identification Notes

Length: 38-43mm

Pale stripes on legs.

Wing spots vary in colour.

Black line at the top of the frons (faces) does not extend down the side of the eyes.

Males: bright orange-red with yellow panels on side of the thorax.

Females: ochre becoming duller/reddish with age.

Immature adults: similar to females but paler.

DITA Dancer Hannah Sullivan Ferianc takes a turn in the red dress - the transition piece in the time-based art work "Angle of Repose," created by Dance in the Annex (DITA). There are four live exhibition times for "Angle of Repose," an ArtPrize 2013 juror-selected "Short List" nominee, at SiTE:LAB (54 Jefferson Ave.) The diverse, multimedia-enhanced modern dance experience was created and curated by DITA Artistic Director and founder, Amy Wilson.

 

Live exhibit times are available at the link below. During non-live public times, an original "Angle of Repose" dance-on-camera film projects on the ramp where the artists dance during live times.

Late winter walk to Dixon's Gap

I really like how this picture turned out.

On the edge of a ceaseless battle between the deeply rooted trees and a wild, tumultuous river lies a shrouded footway; an angler's path.

trying hard to take a pic one handed, hold the camera still, take the picture and not drop it onto the fast moving ground below was quite an interesting task!

Playing with my birthday gift! Can't wait to start shooting with them!

Taken in Muscotah, Kansas at an abandoned home. What a waste.

fallen angels splitting the money.....

Canadian Museum for Human Rights

Static friction is overcome and a new layer is flattened on the cone. The process is similar to what happens when slowly raising one end of a board on which rest a scatter of coins. The money stays in place until static friction is overcome and the board clears at a critical angle: like a delayed money-slide when playing poker and drinking heavily.

Angler, La Caletta, Provinz Nuoro, Sardinien, 2018

 

Mancheiner nutzt das Hafenbecken von La Caletta, um hier Fische zu angeln. Sicher nicht der schlechteste Ort, um es sich gemütlich zu machen. Gefangen hatte dieser Angler aber noch nichts.

Some use the docks of La Caletta to fish. Certainly not the worst place to make yourself comfortable. But this fisherman had not caught anything yet.

Phlogophora meticulosa. My first Angle Shades of the year. It left eggs all over the tub I had it in, any ideas what to do with them to try get them to larva stage?

Construction work on the seafront at Lancing.

 

The Saturday Self-Challenge group has chosen Dutch Angle for today's theme.

I'm always taken by shots like this, trying to capture the lines of buildings, and most of the pictures don't work. Again, I think the lighting gets this one.

I took these to see how she looked in different angles, IMO she's very photogenic. I do think I need to work on her eyewells though. Hmm. Anyway, I gave her a silly watercolour faceup just so she wasn't blank, because she's so pretty.

Phlogophora meticulosa. A nice pair of Angle Shades, showing the varying colour forms HMM!

This cemetery angel is near a place I work, something about her is mysterious. It may be that her face has weathered away, her arms have gone, or that she waits in a secluded part of the site.

 

I am not particularly religious in the Christian sense, but symbols and beliefs are so interesting. I didn't realise that angels apparently predate the concept of a monotheistic God.

Archaeologists have unearthed alters dedicated to winged guardian angels in Iraq, in what was once Sumeria dating from 3,000 BC. Old stories go back even further.

 

Something of interest I read on an angelology site:

"In August of 1914, during World War I, British and French troops fell into retreat from the Germans. Wounded soldiers reported angels in the field of battle. French soldiers thought they saw Michael the Archangel while the British claimed it was Saint George. (Michael and St. George are thought, by some, to be one in the same, the Dragon-slayer) In any event, the men saw a tall blonde man in golden armor and suffered their wounds with an air of calm serenity. In later reports, the Germans claimed that they were unable to advance and that their horses turned and ran. The angel became known as the Angel of Mons, after the area in which the appearance took place."

 

I wonder what my angels has seen?

 

**This shot took a little work. To the right of the angel a tree and a headstone were cloned out to preserve the sky unbroken. I like this shot but it definitely is not perfect. The sky is blown out in places, a 5 shot HDR would've helped. Also the angle of the angel in the framing isn't quite right.
