A Giliacquas, frazione di Elmas, c'è la possibilità di osservare un bello scorcio di laguna, e se si ha un po' di pazienza si può assistere a degli indimenticabili tramonti.
Hier, je suis resté 4 heures pour assister à cette belle scène de vie animalière que j'affectionne particulièrement car ce sont des oiseaux que j'aime beaucoup observer à distance..!!
Les grèbes se relaient sur le nid et le consolide...
Il y a quatre oeufs ....
Il faudra attendre la naissance des grèbes huppés.....
C'est la première couvée de ces grèbes huppés.
J'espère assister aux naissances.
Le Grèbe huppé niche entre avril et juillet.
À cette époque, les adultes portent une double huppe et des oreillettes brunes encadrant la tête.
Le nid peut reposer sur un fond vaseux mais il est conçu en principe pour affleurer la surface.
Il peut également flotter mais il est alors arrimé à une souche ou à un paquet de végétaux entremêlés.
Les adultes en garnissent la coupe peu profonde de végétaux qui servent à recouvrir les œufs si les adultes s'absentent du nid. La ponte est composée de 3 à 6 œufs blancs qui virent ensuite au brun et deviennent de ce fait plus discrets.
Les adultes couvent en se relayant toutes les quelques heures. L'éclosion intervient au bout de 28 jours.
Les jeunes sont capables de nager aussitôt mais ils restent dépendants de leurs parents plusieurs semaines.
Un grand merci à toutes et tous pour vos visites et vos commentaires qui sont toujours très appréciés.

Yesterday, I stayed 4 hours to attend this beautiful scene of animal life that I particularly like because they are birds that I really like to observe from a distance..!!
The grebes take turns on the nest and consolidate it...
There are four eggs...
We will have to wait for the birth of the great crested grebes.....
This is the first brood of these great crested grebes.
I hope to attend the births.
The Great Crested Grebe nests between April and July.
At this time, adults wear a double crest and brown ear flaps framing their heads.
The nest can rest on a muddy bottom but it is designed in principle to be flush with the surface.
It can also float but it is then secured to a stump or a bundle of intertwined plants.
The adults fill the shallow cup with plants which are used to cover the eggs if the adults are absent from the nest. The laying is composed of 3 to 6 white eggs which then turn brown and therefore become more discreet.
Adults brood taking turns every few hours. Hatching occurs after 28 days.
The young are able to swim immediately but they remain dependent on their parents for several weeks.
A big thank you to all of you for your visits and your comments which are always very much appreciated.

The Monumental complex of Valsanzibio was brought to its contemporary magnificence in the second half of the Seventeenth Century by the Venetian noble Giovani Francesco Barbarigo, assisted by his sons Antonio and Gregorio. In fact, it was this last son, the first-born, Gregorio—Cardinal and Bishop of Padua and future saint—who inspired the symbolic meaning of the plan drawn by Luigi Bernini— the top Vatican architect and fountain expert. The then Cardinal Gregorio Barbarigo, as the result of a solemn ‘vow’ made by his Father to our God in 1631 , desired the garden of Valsanzibio to be a monumental, symbolic pathway to perfection; a journey that brings man from the false to the
truth, from ignorance to revelation.

The Mayor requested my help to assist him in finding all the lumps and bumps and holes on the roads of New Victory and we found quite a few. One particular bump almost threw me out onto the ground!
This got me thinking and I have come up with a smashing invention...A belt that could be sewn onto the seat with a buckle to secure my bottom to the seat. I will call my new invention a Seat Belt.... (runs off to the patent office).

Have a great day!
The establishment is owned by Mr. JD Russel, a distinguished gentleman with rugged good looks and dark hair. It was rumored that he had once stood alongside the President during the famed charge up San Juan Hill, a tale that added to his allure. Whenever he was not engaged in assisting patrons, he took pleasure in offering a complimentary piece of hard candy from his extensive display.
This day, as I approached the entrance, he could be seen diligently sweeping the walkway. Upon noticing my presence, his face brightened with a warm and cordial smile as he stepped forward to hold the door open. “Good afternoon, Miss MacKenna. A truly splendid day, is it not?” he inquired graciously. I responded with a smile, expressed my thanks, and offered a playful wink. “Indeed, Mr. Russel, it is a most delightful day,” I replied.
I hope you enjoy my photos ♥

This is the newer part of the old police headquarter of Frankfurt. Already scheduled to be demolished last year, it is still there. To hinder any tiles from falling on somebody's head, the wall is protected with wire mesh.
The story goes that the Spaniards brought donkeys to Bonaire to assist with salt production. When donkeys were no longer needed, they went feral on the island. They are now controversial. To some they damage the environment, eating native plants and preventing reforestation. To others, they are a part of history, not to mention adorable and gentle animals.
This donkey was all alone on a vast Salina. My camera is practically sitting on the ground because I wanted to get the separation betwen the brown donkey and the surrounding terrain. Fortunately, the donkey just watched me as I did my thing. To me the clouds look like those "thought clouds" in cartoons. If so, this donkey has a lot on its mind.

Tuesday 29th May 2018
In May 1985, I had a day to kill between training sessions in Portland, Oregon. For fun, I took a short roundtrip on Amtrak's Pioneer to The Dalles. If all went well, it would be a day for twos - a two hour ride east, a two hour layover in The Dalles, and a two hour return to Portland.
The 86-mile ride through the Columbia River Gorge was pleasant. As I detrained in The Dalles, the only other person to get off the train was an Amtrak cook. She worked out of Seattle, assisting with breakfast and lunch in the diner. When train 25 arrived from the east, she would work the dinner service on the return to Seattle.
There was an Arctic Circle restaurant in The Dalles across the street from where Amtrak stopped. After I had lunch there, I walked around downtown for a bit. The westbound Pioneer was within a few minutes of being on time for the ride back to Portland. As it slowed for the station stop, I snapped this image of the train on the westward main.
Note the sign placed on the eastward main to help the eastbound Pioneer's engineer spot his train. Naturally, there's a fair amount of ETTS in this image. The large grain elevator in the background is gone now, and the Pioneer ceased operation in 1997.
Every now and then a lone crocus appears in the middle of a pathway, no doubt with the assist of a squirrel who disapproves of the original placement...if only they would learn to weed while they were at it!
Je suis arrivé un peu tard pour suivre cette nichée de Héron pourpré, avant hier j'ai assisté (de loin) à la dernière séance de nourrissage, apparemment avec peu de nourriture car les jeunes avaient faim et ça se voyaient, et ça a fini par presque une bagarre.....
Hier je suis revenu sur les lieux, je n'ai pas vu les adultes de toute l'après-midi, les jeunes appelaient mais sans réponse, et de temps en temps ils prenaient leur envol pour faire le tour de l'étang avant de revenir au nid, et c'est ainsi que j'ai capté ces images et bien d'autres à venir.!!!
Comme promis je dédie cette série à mon ami Bernard Fabbro.....
Excellente journée à toutes et à tous.

Complete Mk.7 rocket-assisted ejection seat from an F-4 Phantom II fighter jet was made by British manufacturer Martin-Baker Aircraft Co. Ltd., the world leader in ejection seats for more than 60 years. It includes a seatbelt, grip handle on right side of seat, empty oxygen tank and release button on left side of seat… and hopefully not the ejection rocket! An artifact from the Future Ventures’ Space Collection.
The McDonnell F-4 Phantom II two-seat twinjet fighter was one of the most versatile fighters ever built. It boasted top speeds above Mach 2 and became the U.S. Navy's fastest, highest flying, and longest-range fighter. Both the Navy Blue Angels and Air Force Thunderbirds flight demonstration teams flew the F-4 from 1969 to 1973.
P.S. I saw what looked like this seat in the movie Sully, and sure enough… see below.

The Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore (Italian pronunciation: [katteˈdraːle di ˈsanta maˈriːa del ˈfjoːre]; in English "Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Flowers") is the main church of Florence, Italy. Il Duomo di Firenze, as it is ordinarily called, was begun in 1296 in the Gothic style with the design of Arnolfo di Cambio and completed structurally in 1436 with the dome engineered by Filippo Brunelleschi. The exterior of the basilica is faced with polychrome marble panels in various shades of green and pink bordered by white and has an elaborate 19th-century Gothic Revival façade by Emilio De Fabris.
The cathedral complex, located in Piazza del Duomo, includes the Baptistery and Giotto's Campanile. These three buildings are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site covering the historic centre of Florence and are a major attraction to tourists visiting Tuscany. The basilica is one of Italy's largest churches, and until development of new structural materials in the modern era, the dome was the largest in the world. It remains the largest brick dome ever constructed.
The cathedral is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Florence, whose archbishop is currently Giuseppe Betori.
Santa Maria del Fiore was built on the site of an earlier cathedral dedicated to Saint Reparata. The ancient structure, founded in the early 5th century and having undergone many repairs, was crumbling with age, according to the 14th-century Nuova Cronica of Giovanni Villani, and was no longer large enough to serve the growing population of the city. Other major Tuscan cities had undertaken ambitious reconstructions of their cathedrals during the Late Medieval period, such as Pisa and particularly Siena where the enormous proposed extensions were never completed.
Giotto's bell tower (campanile)
The new church was designed by Arnolfo di Cambio and approved by city council in 1294. Di Cambio was also architect of the church of Santa Croce and the Palazzo Vecchio. He designed three wide naves ending under the octagonal dome, with the middle nave covering the area of Santa Reparata. The first stone was laid on September 9, 1296, by Cardinal Valeriana, the first papal legate ever sent to Florence. The building of this vast project was to last 140 years; Arnolfo's plan for the eastern end, although maintained in concept, was greatly expanded in size.
After Arnolfo died in 1310, work on the cathedral slowed for thirty years. When the relics of Saint Zenobius were discovered in 1330 in Santa Reparata, the project gained a new impetus. In 1331, the Arte della Lana, the guild of wool merchants, took over patronage for the construction of the cathedral and in 1334 appointed Giotto to oversee the work. Assisted by Andrea Pisano, Giotto continued di Cambio's design. His major accomplishment was the building of the campanile. When Giotto died in 1337, Andrea Pisano continued the building until work was halted due to the Black Death in 1348.
In 1349, work resumed on the cathedral under a series of architects, starting with Francesco Talenti, who finished the campanile and enlarged the overall project to include the apse and the side chapels. In 1359, Talenti was succeeded by Giovanni di Lapo Ghini (1360–1369) who divided the center nave in four square bays. Other architects were Alberto Arnoldi, Giovanni d'Ambrogio, Neri di Fioravante and Andrea Orcagna. By 1375, the old church Santa Reparata was pulled down. The nave was finished by 1380, and by 1418, only the dome remained incomplete.
On 18 August 1418, the Arte della Lana announced an architectural design competition for erecting Neri's dome. The two main competitors were two master goldsmiths, Lorenzo Ghiberti and Filippo Brunelleschi, the latter of whom was supported by Cosimo de Medici. Ghiberti had been the winner of a competition for a pair of bronze doors for the Baptistery in 1401 and lifelong competition between the two remained sharp. Brunelleschi won and received the commission.
Ghiberti, appointed coadjutator, drew a salary equal to Brunelleschi's and, though neither was awarded the announced prize of 200 florins, was promised equal credit, although he spent most of his time on other projects. When Brunelleschi became ill, or feigned illness, the project was briefly in the hands of Ghiberti. But Ghiberti soon had to admit that the whole project was beyond him. In 1423, Brunelleschi was back in charge and took over sole responsibility.
Work started on the dome in 1420 and was completed in 1436. The cathedral was consecrated by Pope Eugene IV on March 25, 1436, (the first day of the year according to the Florentine calendar). It was the first 'octagonal' dome in history to be built without a temporary wooden supporting frame. It was one of the most impressive projects of the Renaissance. During the consecration in 1436, Guillaume Dufay's motet Nuper rosarum flores was performed. The structure of this motet was strongly influenced by the structure of the dome.
The decoration of the exterior of the cathedral, begun in the 14th century, was not completed until 1887, when the polychrome marble façade was completed with the design of Emilio De Fabris. The floor of the church was relaid in marble tiles in the 16th century.
The exterior walls are faced in alternate vertical and horizontal bands of polychrome marble from Carrara (white), Prato (green), Siena (red), Lavenza and a few other places. These marble bands had to repeat the already existing bands on the walls of the earlier adjacent baptistery the Battistero di San Giovanni and Giotto's Bell Tower. There are two side doors: the Doors of the Canonici (south side) and the Door of the Mandorla (north side) with sculptures by Nanni di Banco, Donatello, and Jacopo della Quercia. The six side windows, notable for their delicate tracery and ornaments, are separated by pilasters. Only the four windows closest to the transept admit light; the other two are merely ornamental. The clerestory windows are round, a common feature in Italian Gothic.
During its long history, this cathedral has been the seat of the Council of Florence (1439), heard the preachings of Girolamo Savonarola and witnessed the murder of Giuliano di Piero de' Medici on Sunday, 26 April 1478 (with Lorenzo Il Magnifico barely escaping death), in the Pazzi conspiracy.
