Toulouse,
cimetière de Terre Cabade.
L'incurie, l'indifférence et l'inconséquence des élus ont pour effet d'effacer irrémédiablement une partie du patrimoine historique de la ville de Toulouse.

.......85 TO 90% of this RED-TAILED HAWK's diet composed of small rodents, with rabbits, snakes and lizards included.(Image taken in Cranberry Marsh, Whitby, Ontario,Canada.)
Interesting facts:This bird is also known in the U.S. as a "chicken hawk." They may target chickens as preys. As a consequence, dead hawks hanging from fences and lying under trees and power poles are mute evidence that shooters, not understanding the economic or esthetic importance of raptors, or perhaps unaware of protective laws, still kill them indiscriminately.....(www. desertUSA.com)

The Temple of Vesta (Italian Tempio di Vesta) is an ancient edifice in Rome, Italy, located in the Roman Forum near the Regia and the House of the Vestal Virgins. The temple's most recognizable feature is its circular footprint. The extant temple used Greek architecture with Corinthian columns, marble, and a central cella. The remaining structure indicates that there were twenty Corinthian columns built on a podium fifteen meters in diameter. The roof probably had a vent at the apex to allow smoke release.

Berlin boasts two zoological gardens, a consequence of decades of political and administrative division of the city. The older one, called Zoo Berlin, founded in 1844, is situated in what is now called the "City West". It is the most species-rich zoo worldwide. The other one, called Tierpark Berlin ("Animal Park"), was established on the long abandoned premises of Friedrichsfelde Manor Park in the eastern borough of Lichtenberg, in 1954. Covering 160 ha, it is the largest landcape zoo in Europe.
Rund 15 Prozent der Erdoberfläche werden von Savannen bedeckt. Damit gehören sie zu den größten und wichtigsten Lebensräumen des Planeten. Seit dem 26. Mai 2023 wird Besucher*innen im Tierpark Berlin ein Einblick in diese faszinierende Landschaft gewährt und sie können mehr über die unterschiedlichen Bewohner der ostafrikanischen Savanne und ihren natürlichen Lebensraum erfahren.
Ein wahrer Höhepunkt der neuen Tierpark-Savanne ist der 120 Meter lange Giraffenpfad: Hier werden die Gäste den bis zu fünf Meter hohen Grazien der Savanne zukünftig auf Augenhöhe begegnen können – wer sich traut, bahnt sich den Weg durch den Wald bis zu den Aussichtsplattformen über eine abenteuerliche Hängebrücke. Der Tierpark Berlin erreicht mit der Eröffnung der Afrikanischen Savannenlandschaft ein neues Etappenziel auf seinem Weg zu einem Zoo der Zukunft. Seit knapp neun Jahren wird der 1955 gegründete und 160 Hektar große Tierpark Berlin zu einem naturnahen Geozoo umgebaut. Um einen Einblick in den Lebensraum der einzelnen Tierarten und deren Interaktionen, Besonderheiten und Problematiken zu ermöglichen, werden die Tiere im Tierpark größtenteils nach geografischen Gesichtspunkten zu sehen sein.

Around 15 per cent of the earth's surface is covered by savannahs. This makes them one of the largest and most important habitats on the planet. Since 26 May 2023, visitors to Tierpark Berlin have been given an insight into this fascinating landscape and can learn more about the different inhabitants of the East African savannah and their natural habitat.
A true highlight of the new zoo savannah is the 120-metre-long giraffe trail: here, guests will be able to meet the up to five-metre-high graces of the savannah at eye level in future - those who dare will make their way through the forest to the viewing platforms via an adventurous suspension bridge. With the opening of the African Savannah Landscape, Tierpark Berlin has reached a new milestone on its way to becoming a zoo of the future. For almost nine years, the 160-hectare Tierpark Berlin, which was founded in 1955, has been transformed into a near-natural geozoo. In order to provide an insight into the habitat of the individual animal species and their interactions, peculiarities and problems, the animals in the zoo will largely be seen according to geographical aspects.
A reminder of war consequences.

"The town was completely destroyed during the Battle of the Ebro (25 July–16 November 1938) and although the lower part of the town was rebuilt, the upper part, known as Poble Vell (Old Town), including the old church on the hill, has been kept as a reminder.
The town has one of the five information centres run by COMEBE, a public consortium, including the Generalitat de Catalunya, that was founded in 2001 to recover the historical memory of the areas in which the 115-day-long Battle of the Ebro, the longest, bloodiest and most decisive battle of the Spanish Civil War, took place. The Centre d'interpretació de la batalla de l'Ebre (Battle of the Ebro Information Centre) has marked paths on a circuit around the area."

Recently, I posted an image taken by my wife, Jenny.
Some of you were kind enough to say nice things about her photography. Thank you.
But there have been consequences.
I now have a new Artistic Director (note the capital letters!).
Jen has taken the role on (uninvited) for a mere 50% of any earnings (mind you, 50% of nowt is still nowt).
Unfortunately, whenever we're out together, she now feels qualified to point out "Amazing Images" (note the capital letters) and insist that I shoot several versions. (Evidently, because I spend so much time "mucking about" with my shots I have to take several versions to be sure of getting an acceptable one).
This image is the result of this type of collaboration. The conversation went like this;
J - "Have you seen that line of trees over there?"
D (without looking) - "What trees?"
J - "THOSE trees. The ones at the edge of the field."
D (giving them a cursory lance) - "What about them?"
J - "Don't you think that would make an 'Amazing Image'"
D - "Nope"
J - "Why not?"
D - "Just doesn't inspire me at all. I can't see a photo there"
A few minutes silence .....................
J - "A decent photographer would make something of them."
D - "Well, maybe I'm not a decent photographer"
J - "Evidently not"
More silence during which I sneak another look.
D (Sighing) - "OK. Maybe just the one. Just to please you,................................... sweetheart"
Here it is then.
PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.
In the early 20th century, there was a significant increase in traffic on the Grand Trunk railway network, as a consequence of which trains became longer and heavier. Faced with this increased demand, the company decided to build more powerful locomotives, introducing the 2-6-0 “Mogul”-type locomotive.
The Moguls accounted for 28% of the Grand Trunk’s locomotives when it merged into the Canadian National Railways in 1923. A third driving axle made it possible to increase motive power while supporting a larger boiler. This type of locomotive reflects the beginning of an era of specialization between locomotives used for freight (high traction) and those used to carry passengers (high speed).
Withdrawn in 1957, locomotive GTR 713 is one of the only vehicles of this category to be preserved in Canada today
All the information used with the pictures was taken from information at the Canadian Railway Museum Site.
Grinding Stone, Central Valley, CA
How we complain about our busy lives being a grind. Well here we have evidence that living off the land was also a grind. Acorns and other seeds provided the staple diet for the locals at one time. The grit from the granite also wore down their teeth at a rapid rate with the woeful consequences of losing teeth.
Here, a recent rainfall filled the potholes left behind. Count your blessings...
And thanks for viewing!
The Ponte Pietra (Italian for "Stone Bridge"), once known as the Pons Marmoreus, is a Roman arch bridge crossing the Adige River in Verona, Italy. The bridge was completed in 100 BC, and the Via Postumia from Genua to the Brenner Pass passed over it.
It originally flanked another Roman bridge, the Pons Postumius; both structures provided the city (on the right bank) with access to the Roman theatre on the east bank. The arch nearest to the right bank of the Adige was rebuilt in 1298 by Alberto I della Scala. Four arches of the bridge were blown up by retreating German troops in World War II, but rebuilt in 1957 with original materials.

All agates are unique and do not repeat. We can observe many eyes on the mother body of agate - these are new nuggets (in geology this is called spherulites*) Silicone form of life.
In scientific geological circles, there are still disputes about the life of Agate. However, agate has been proven to be a form of life.
Agates - live, eat and breed. They have a male body (layer) and a female body (geode). Spherulite agate contains both forms. As a rule, the layer is the outer shell and skin, the geode is inside. But gobi agates do not lend themselves to scientific classification at all and show individuality, as if each specimen is a separate species, that is, they build their bodies the way they want and reproduce in different ways. Agate can slowly rearrange molecular bonds, turning the layer into a geode, without increasing in size. In general, the size for the development of Agatha is not the main thing. There are varieties of Agate that grow no more than a couple of millimeters. In geology there is no definition for these minerals, I called them "millimetres".
This form of life exists in another corridor of time. Human life is too short to observe agates in nature, it seems to us absolutely static. But in the DZI agate beads - a miracle! We can observe changes after they are created. It is safe to say that the bead is not millions of years old, perhaps hundreds or extremely rarely thousands of years old, however, the growth of the skin on the bead is obvious, as well as the formation of Dragon Blood, the overgrowth of cracks, the appearance of new layers ... This significantly narrows the time corridor for mineralogy.
"Carbon chauvinism"
This term is a consequence of the assumption that everything that can be called living must be built primarily from carbon. It is clear that this form of life is closest to us, so it is extremely difficult for us to imagine a different biochemistry.
The author of the term, astrophysicist Carl Sagan, criticizing this point of view, suggested that the basis for its nomination is only the fact that its adherents themselves consist of carbon and water and absorb oxygen in the process of metabolism.
These small-frame houses used to be owned and occupied by the working poor and were maintained fairly well, as owners tend to do. But then a shelter was built on open land across the street. Now the homeless trespass at will, set up tents on the lawns, steal and litter. The owners can't sell their homes for obvious reasons. One of the unintended consequences of shelters and food kitchens for the homeless. It's complicated.
This was just an every day scene once upon a time. An 86 loco on a passenger train, in this case the 06.32 Carlisle to Euston service. In the bay platform a dmu waits to provide a service for passengers off the arriving Inter City express.
The style of dmu has gone, along with the Class 86 and the coaching stock behind it.
The yellow lines on the platform were for waiting passengers to stand behind for safety. Possibly it was not just for reasons of non stop services going past at speed because the bay platform has them too and the thought of speed in a bay platform isn't too convincing.
In those dark and dangerous days doors could be opened before a train stopped with obvious dire consequences if someone was hit by one. So now they are mostly electrically controlled to open and close, or secured until the train is stopped.
However, on one service where the old style doors were able to be opened without such restrictions, passengers were treated to the tannoyed instructions to open the window and reach out to use the exterior handle to open the door.
Such is progress - train doors sometimes have handles which operate on the same principle as a car door or a house door. Who would have thought it?
As for the 86, it seemed an unusual practice to have a middle window on the cab and no windscreen wiper. When the next generation of electric locos emerged, Class 87, it was just two windows. Now that was an improvement.
Press L to see properly
Thank you for the visit and comments are welcome.

The Fifth Evocation - Russian Times of Repentance by Daniel Arrhakis (2022)
The Prophecies of Ion are previews or reflections on the evolution of our times and in a creative way point to hypothetical futures of humanity.
Although they have a creative and artistic character, more than messianic predictions, they promote an analysis and discussion about our society and about several hypothetical futures that will always depend on the choices we make.
The fifth evocation is just one of the consequences of The Fourth Ion Prophecy - The Fall Of Ivan.
The next text to which I designate "The Fifth Evocation" must be seen in this context.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine was not foreseen in most astral and mystical predictions, although there was the possibility of a major conflict in the near future.
This sudden invasion has set in motion a series of events that have interfered with space/time lines in a way that could endanger all of humanity in the near future.
On the other hand, the City of Odessa is also at a confluence of hypothetical intersecting events that could trigger the Third World War.
If the war in Ukraine does not end soon, there could be several dramatic events in the world but especially in Russia...
Various celestial events point to a deadline... October 13, 2022... from this date... anything can happen...

The Fifth Evocation - Russian Times of Repentance
"And from Siberia the winds will rise through many and rigorous winters with the strength of those who were killed without mercy and their lamentations will enter through the cracks of the houses and temples of those who were indifferent to them.
And the black frosts will freeze the fields and the hearts of those who chose to turn a blind eye to injustices as well as those who supported a brutal and senseless war.
Years of drought and extreme Summer heat will set fire to forests and wheat fields as if they were turned aimlessly, and not even the temples of faith will be safe.
And the mists will cover the silences of death with shame and frighten the nights of those who took up arms against defenseless innocents.
In the end, the ancient plagues will be unearthed like cursed herds that roam across hills and valleys so the Times of Repentance will no longer be forgotten.
And in the end, cursed be those who brought about war, famine, and death, as well as those who plundered and destroyed so many defenseless cities.
And when the Serpent reigns in the night skies, may the revolt leave no stone unturned, so that the fiery horses may lead the damned tsar forever straight to hell. "
And may the echo of memories never erase the heinous crimes that the Czar's armies carried out in the lands of bread and sunflowers.
Peace to Ukraine and Glory forever, may the memory of those who died in the struggle for freedom be forgotten no more!
Another consequence of the lack of having safe water available locally is the instability of villages. Every dry season, entire villages migrate with their livestock to find water. Such migration prevents the establishment of schools, health clinics, markets, and a general social infrastructure.
The challenge is enormous to those of us who uphold the sanctity of human life and the moral imperative to provide water to the thirsty. We must drill wells in local villages in Sudan. Fresh water is absolute requirement for a community's health. It is a stable developmental platform on which a community can build its future. It is, in short, life.
Water for Sudan is a non-profit organization whose mission is to bring fresh, clean water to the people of rural southern Sudan. With our new and improved drilling equipment, we now aim to drill up to 40 wells per year. As of August 2008, we have drilled 29 wells and provided over 80,000 people with uncontaminated drinking water.

The choice to move from war artist George Lambert’s self-assured self-portrait, and this dramatic painting of a returned veteran from the Afghan war is deliberate on my part. So is the choice of black and white. Colour tends to mesmerise, and here I want you to focus on all the elements in my composition. At the top left hand corner the face of Brett Whiteley appears to be taking a peek at the naked soldier in Ben Quilty’s stunning and moving 2012 portrait of Captain “S”. www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/artboards/archie-100/what-lies-...
The Brett Whiteley cameo is from his own triptych which we’ll come to later. But Quilty’s choice of thick paint (you must enlarge this) applied with a palette knife creates a disturbing sense of a body that is at once still alive, but also in many ways already a corpse. There is no doubt here that contemporary war artist Ben Quilty is addressing head-on the issue of PTSD and the depravities of this pointless modern war.
Another artist I highly recommend in this regard is Quilty's colleague in Afghanistan, George Gittoes. Listen to him tell these incredible stories: www.youtube.com/watch?v=714QAXRllp4
Gittoes' book, "Blood Mystic", is truly an example of how art from war zones can change lives.
Remember the ignominious end of the Aghan war recently with the clumsy American withdrawal? Well guess who’s back in power in Kabul now? It was clearly Vietnam 2.0, and like then, our government followed the USA down this ridiculous rabbit-hole, all in the name of keeping the Military-Industrial Complex making profits (a term coined by the conservative President and former General Dwight Eisenhower in the 1950s as he tried to warn us of what was happening). Don’t get me started on 9/11.
Let me be completely inflammatory now, since this is the only weapon I have to fight these Masters of War (that Bob Dylan so wonderfully eviscerated!): The war in Ukraine now threatens to escalate to World War 3. You are aware by now I hope that the US Congress has spent over $100 Billion on Ukraine already in what is clearly a proxy war with Russia. Where have we seen such a proxy war before? Well Vietnam of course. History repeats and the casualties of war include not just the innocent civilians, but the tens of thousands of soldiers who die, and those like Captain “S” who return home the living dead, spurned as lepers by their own country and many taking their own lives. It’s a damnable disgrace!
Am I angry? You are damn right I am. There’s a special place in Hell reserved for those who profit from war. As Dylan put it so magnificently when he wrote about Vietnam (but really every war):
“Come you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks…
And I hope that you die
And your death will come soon
I'll follow your casket
By the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand over your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead.”
Sooner or later, the bill comes due originated in the United States between the late nineteenth century and the early decades of the twentieth century within everyday commercial and accounting language. The expression is linked to informal credit practices in shops, general stores, and small businesses, where customers could buy “on account” and pay later. In this context, the phrase literally meant that, even if payment could be postponed, the debt would eventually have to be settled. Over time, the expression shifted into figurative use and entered journalistic, political, and social language, taking on a moral and existential meaning: every action, choice, or behavior generates inevitable consequences, leading sooner or later to a moment of reckoning. This proverb is often used to emphasize individual and collective responsibility: no one can avoid the effects of what they do forever.
I create these images using artificial intelligence not to replace photography, nor to question its artistic value, which remains central and untouchable in my practice, but to use a different tool in response to specific expressive needs in the present.
In the corporate world we are always encouraged to raise our hands when we see something wrong or unethical going on. Not everyone in the corporate world does I'm sure, but if everyone did that this would be quite a different place...
