Le Cap Taillat est un spectacle qui se mérite ! Accessible
par le sentier du littoral uniquement , c'est depuis l'Escalet
ou la Baie de Gigaro que vous y parviendrez après quelques
20 bonnes minutes de marche !
Les abords du Cap sont riches et variés, les plages de sable
fin, les petites criques et les immenses rochers sur lesquels le
nudisme est devenu une norme, le promeneur découvrira une
végétation très riche, des cactées extraordinaires, sur le cap
même une forêt des merveilles où des milliers de cigales vous
étourdiront de leur concert tant elles se plaisent sous les pins;
et à deux pas, on se baigne dans une mer "caraïbe", jetant ses
douces vagues sur fond et plages de sable blanc.
De nombreux contrastes dans une vrai violence de couleurs,
jamais la mer ne parait aussi bleue que lorsqu'elle se confronte
à ces rocher immaculés, de formes et rondeurs qui vous
envahissent l'esprit de mille douceurs.
Hadley did not wear any military gear until I bought him a couple of Navy caps a few years ago. I am so glad I did cause it opens up conversations with young and old people wherever we go. Very heartwarming. We had lunch today with a friend of his from his USN days last century! 307/365
Le massif du Cap-Sicié, enclave de la Provence cristalline en Provence calcaire, fait partie des Monts toulonnais. Il est situé entre les communes de La Seyne-sur-Mer et Six-Fours-les-Plages et représente l'un des points le plus au sud de la région Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.
Son sommet culmine à 352 mètres, à la chapelle de Notre-Dame-du-Mai, et celui-ci se trouve être aussi le point culminant d'une des falaises de bord de mer les plus hautes d'Europe. source: fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massif_du_Cap-Sici%C3%A9
Zwischen Boulogne-sur-Mer im Süden und Calais im Norden liegt die "Site des deux caps" mit dem Cap Blanc Nez und dem Cap Gris Nez. Wegen der ausgezeichneten Sicht über den Kanal hinüber bis zur englischen Kanalküste wurden auf beiden Landspitzen während des 2. Weltkrieges Beobachtungs-, Radar- und Messstützpunkte eingerichtet. Die Beobachtungsstände auf dem Cap sind bis heute in gutem Zustand erhalten geblieben und über die Küstenstrasse gut zu erreichen. Das Cap Blanc-Nez (132 m) besteht aus Kreidegestein und Mergel und hat steil abfallende Seiten zum Meer. Auf dem Gipfel befinden sich Bunker aus dem Zweiten Weltkrieg sowie ein Obelisk.
"Aye, Seahumans!"
For my third entry in the Turtle Competition over at Eurobricks, I decided to depict the often misunderstood Cap'tain Weedbeard. This could be the largest turtle in the competition with 202 pieces. But I had a lot of fun in imagining and building this character. I hope you like him as much as the previous ones (thank you for that!), and don't let his looks deceive you! Let me explain...
Cap'tain Weedbeard... You can often hear his name whispered in small, far off waves. Turtles glance around them and, with a low voice, tell each other the latest rumors.
" I heard he has a beard! Can you imagine, a turtle with a beard? He must have sold his soul to the Seadevil!"
Nothing of the sort! Those who pay attention to his name, might already guess that it isn't a real beard (because, really, a turtle with a beard?). It's seaweed, that accumulated on his face after all his years and years out in the ocean. They keep him warm, and they get to see the world. It's perfectly natural, and the Seadevil really hasn't anything to do with it.
" But I heard he has made a terrible monster his slave as well!"
I would hardly call Starbuck, the cute little starfish that accompanies him everywhere a terrible monster. The self-confident chap would probably like it, but with that honest heart of gold, I don't believe he's every hurt a flying fish.
" And what about his belt, with his terrible orange sword and that magic potion..."
Magic potion??? Cap'tain Weedbeard doesn't need any to be so amazing. No, that flask he always carries around is filled with fresh water. It has often saved his life on his adventures. And that 'sword', as you call it... I don't think a carrot would be useful when you're threatened.
" But you can't deny his wooden leg, or his missing eye, or that ferocious hat! You're not going to tell me he was born like that!"
No, of course not. Don't make a complete imbecile of yourself. He got heavily wounded while trying to help a vessel of those Seahumans (one of those vessels that look like an empty turtle shell, you know) that got caught in the middle of a storm. There came a bolt out of the heaven that struck the ship, and it exploded for some unknown reason. But those Seahumans Weedbeard was saving, didn't forget him, and they managed to save him. They repaired him as good as they could (but of course, with their primitive knowledge, that was no good), and left him that peculiar hat. He has worn it proudly ever since, as a reminder to how helpfulness and warmheartedness can change one's life. Aye, that Cap'tain Weedbeard is truly an amazing mate, and one of the finest turtles ever to swim around. Don't thou ever speak bad of him again, or else the lightning is coming to make you look just as good as he does...

I hope you liked this one as well! I'd love to see what special turtles you can come up with!

You have to get used to hot feet when you choose to live on the largest salt pan in Africa. The Capped Wheatear inhabits the vast, shimmering 4800 square kilometres of the Etosha Pan, with not a tree in sight.
Le cap Ferret est un cap français formant un cordon littoral qui se situe à l'extrémité sud de la presqu'île de Lège-Cap-Ferret en Gironde. Il sépare l'océan Atlantique et le bassin d'Arcachon. Le cap Ferret est l'extrémité de la presqu'île de Lège-Cap-Ferret qui s'est formée par l'allongement, depuis seulement environ 2 000 ans, d'une flèche sableuse, alimentée par la dérive littorale nord-sud due aux courants côtiers, et qui ferme partiellement le bassin d'Arcachon. Celui-ci, à l'est, et l'océan Atlantique, à l'ouest, offrent au cap Ferret une situation géographique et climatique originale entre deux « mers ». On peut ainsi profiter, d'un côté, des paysages du bassin d'Arcachon et, de l'autre, des vagues et de l'immensité de la Côte d'Argent. À la Pointe, où s'effectue la jonction entre le bassin d'Arcachon et l'océan Atlantique, on observe, au milieu des passes, le banc d'Arguin et, au-delà, la dune du Pilat.
