A conserved ruin of a gothical castle, later rebuilt in renaissance style. It is a rare type of a castle/chateau hybrid founded in 1381, with more emphasis on comfort and less on defense. The defense tower was lower than normal, the windows were large, the palace was accesible directly from the first courtyard. The brugrave from Křivoklát Castle built himself a castle which was very progressive and ahead of it´s time. It was devastated in the Thirty Year War, but renewed, and got a new red ceramic roof, due to which it was then also known as Red Castle. A flash started a large fire in 1783, which completely destroyed the castle, and it was not renewed. Conservation work began in 1915, the ruin is very popular by tourists and film makers. The wooden bridge was made after the original one, in medieval style and only with historical carpentry axes, it was laid in the place with a medieval wooden crane made the same way - it was a experiment to test medieval technologies and work processes.

Conserved remains of a gothique castle, founded in early 14th Century. It stood on the rebel side in the Hussite side, but its owner switched sides in the last phase of the conflict, and the castle was unsuccesfuly besieged by Hussites in 1434. The owning lord is mentioned a few weeks later as one of the knights, who decided the battle of Lipany, in which the Hussites were definitely crushed. The castle was used together with a newly built baroque manor until 1621, when both were plundered and burned down by imperial soldiers. The manor was quickly restored, but the castle was abandoned, and parts of it were systematically demolished, after the whole county was sold to a enterpreneur. When his son, after he inherited the castle, is elevated to a noble in 1865, he sees himslef to be a successor to the knight tradition of the castle, stops its destruction and begins conservation efforts. In the communist era the ruin was statically conserved in the then-typical way, which was not the most sensitive, it was returned together with the manor to their last owners in 1990ies, and is freely accessible today, with deep cellars and tight tunnels undergrounds.

The San Francisco Bay is a special place. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s special. I had a friend and college shoot me an email about trying to get out of a photographic funk and coming back off a hiatus. He was specifically asking me for ideas regarding motivation. “where do you go when you need to be inspired?” he asked me. The list of places which would qualify for me is long indeed, and the geography that list would cover is vast. But living where we do, there’s no place like SF to provide endless possibilities.
Whether your preference is photographing people, architecture, landscapes, icons of the globe, or a study on what happens when man and nature meet, there is no place like it.
I have traveled to this spot at least 7 times attempting to catch fog like this, each time the fog being too high with zero visibility. Last week, on my birthday, I finally was able to witness this event first hand. If you’ve never stood in the Marin Headlands and looked out towards San Francisco swallowed up in an ocean of fog… well, I don’t know what to tell you besides you’re missing out.
Conserved domain architecture of wBm-LigA and phylogenetic tree of DNA ligases from various organisms.(A) Conserved domain architecture of wBm-LigA typical of DNA ligase superfamily includes adenylation domain (9–304) with KXDG catalytic site(114–117) involved in adenylation reaction, OB fold domain(307–387), HhH (helix hairpin helix) and BRCT domain (609–671). (B) Phylogenetic trees were constructed with Maximum likelihood (ML) methods using PROML programs of PHYLIP 3.69. All the prokaryotic NAD+-dependent DNA ligase bacteria formed a discrete cluster A which is divided into two branches, the first one comprising the subcluster A1 constituting Nitrosomonas europaea (reference sequence NP_841783.1), Bordetella pertussis (reference sequence NP_882073.1), Gammaproteobacteria (reference sequence ZP_05126247.1), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (reference sequence YP_791724.1), Escherichia coli (GenBank:AAN81395.1), Mycobacterium tuberculosis (reference sequence ZP_7441467.2), Frankia (reference sequence ZP_06413452.1), Thermus thermophilus (GenBank:AAD13190.1), Prochlorococcus marinus (reference sequence NP_876232.1), Mycoplasma mycoides (reference sequence NP_975740.1), Bacillus subtilis (reference sequence NP_388544.1), Bradyrhizobium japonicum (GenBank:BAC51856.1), Rhizobium leguminosarum (NCBI reference sequence YP_002282076.1), Agrobacterium vitis ( reference sequence YP_002550080.1) and the second one (subcluster A2) comprising the DNA ligase of Wolbachia endosymbiont present in Brugia malayi (GenBank:AAW71136.1) and insects as Drosophila melanogaster (reference sequence NP_966531.1), Drosophila simulans (reference sequence ZP_00372215.1) and Culex quinquefasciatus (reference sequence YP_001975247.1), Wolbachia pipientis (GenBank:AAY81980.1), Anaplasma centrale (reference sequence YP_003328904.1), Ehrlichia chaffeensis (NCBI reference sequence YP_507122.1) and Rickettsia rickettsii (GenBank:ABY73051.1). All the eukaryotic DNA ligase viz. Homo sapiens (reference sequence NP_000225.1), Mus musculus (reference sequence NP_001186239.1), Brugia malayi (NCBI reference sequence XP_001896804.1), Plasmodium falciparum (GenBank:AAN64156.1), Plasmodium knowlesi (reference sequence XP_002261933.1) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (GenBank:CAA91582.1) are present in discrete cluster B indicating Wolbachia endosymbiont are distantly related to the ATP DNA ligase of either its host parasite B. malayi or H.sapiens.
La partie la mieux conservée des ruines est de style gothique et date vraisemblablement de la fin du XIIIe-début du XIVe siècle, Elle relève peut-être de la campagne de reconstruction consécutive au saccage anglais de 1294. L'église est à nef unique de deux travées, dont les voûtes sur croisée d'ogives se sont effondrées. Cependant les murs gouttereaux et la façade occidentale sont presque intacts.
La nef s'ouvre sur un transept dont les deux croisillons présentaient chacun de petites chapelles rectangulaires orientées, dont ne restent que les fondations, relativement épierrées. Dans le prolongement de la nef et du transept se dresse le chœur, d'une travée autrefois voûtée sur croisée d'ogives dont ne restent que les arrachements sur les murs, renforcés à leur extrémité par des maçonneries plus récentes. Le mur oriental est percé d'une immense baie privée de son remplage, depuis longtemps disparu. Cette partie date vraisemblablement du XVe siècle et de reconstructions après la guerre de Cent Ans), et donc postérieure au reste de l'édifice.
Il ne reste pratiquement plus rien des anciens locaux conventuels, plusieurs fois détruits et finalement démantelés au XVIIe siècle pour construire le fort de la Prée situé plus loin. Le carré du cloître, au nord de l'église, est cependant visible, le mur-bahut le délimitant autrefois ayant été rétabli, de même que le dallage des galeries avec un petit jardin en son centre. De la salle capitulaire, située contre le croisillon nord du transept et jouxtant la sacristie, ne subsistent, tout comme cette dernière, que des murs arasés et un sol épierré. Au nord du cloître s'élevait le réfectoire dont il ne reste qu'un pan de mur présentant encore trois anciens chapiteaux et départs de voûte, dans le même style que celui de l'abbatiale. C'est d'ailleurs le seul vestige en élévation des bâtiments claustraux.
Les éléments mis au jour lors des fouilles archéologiques sont visibles à la Maison du Platin à La Flotte, à proximité immédiate du port, sur le front de mer (cf. wikipédia).
NEW JERSEYâS BALD EAGLE POPULATION CONTINUES TO SOAR
January 14th, 2016
CONSERVE WILDLIFE FOUNDATION OF NEW JERSEY RELEASES RESULTS OF 2015 STATE BALD EAGLE REPORT
by Lindsay McNamara, Communications Manager
Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey today released the 2015 Bald Eagle Report, highlighting the number of nesting pairs, active nests and nest productivity for the raptors throughout New Jersey with data collected by New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Division of Fish and Wildlife biologists, CWF biologists and committed volunteers.
âWith 161 pairs of bald eagles this past year â up from just a single nest in the early 1980âs â the dramatic ongoing recovery of bald eagles across the northeast continues to inspire so many of us,â said David Wheeler, Conserve Wildlife Foundation Executive Director. âThe thrill of seeing a bald eagle fly across the sky is unparalleled. This report captures how these eagles are continuing their All-American return.â
The report notes that thirteen new eagle pairs were found this season, nine in the south, two in Central Jersey and two in Northern New Jersey.

Contexte et datation
La version de Ferrare est attribuée à Artemisia Gentileschi et datée vers 1620–1625.
Elle est également parfois désignée comme Cléopâtre (Ferrara), une œuvre verticale mesurant environ 97 × 71,5 cm
Description & interprétation
La reine d’Égypte est représentée partiellement nue, assise dans un espace sombre. Son regard est tourné vers le ciel, tandis qu’un serpent mortel approche son sein gauche un geste à la fois dramatique et solennel .
Le contraste sombre valorise la chair claire de Cléopâtre, soulignant l’éros et le thanatos l’union tragique entre désir et mort, thème central de la peinture baroque .
Le réalisme incisif de l’anatomie féminine et des tissus, empreint d’une force émotive puissante, montre l’influence de Caravage sur l’artiste notamment dans l’usage dramatique du clair-obscur .
Dans certaines analyses, on perçoit une ressemblance troublante entre Cléopâtre et Artemisia elle-même, suggérant une identification personnelle de l’artiste à la souveraine tragique .
Autres versions connues
Artemisia Gentileschi a peint plusieurs versions de Cléopâtre :
Milan (1611–1612) — une grande toile (117,5 × 182 cm), dont l’attribution oscille encore entre Artemisia et son père Orazio .
Ferrare (c. 1620) — la version verticale ci-dessus, attribuée à Artemisia .
Rome (mi-1630s) Cléopâtre allongée, avec deux femmes en arrière-plan, une ambiance de deuil, dans une collection privée .
D’autres versions mentionnées pour les années 1630–1635 et 1639–1640, dans des collections privées.
On va plonger dans le style d’Artemisia Gentileschi pour Cléopâtre (vers 1620–1625, Ferrare) et comprendre ce qui la rend si particulière.
1. Composition et cadrage
Format vertical inhabituel pour un nu de cette époque — beaucoup de représentations mythologiques ou historiques optaient pour l’horizontal, plus propice à l’étalement du corps. Ici, la verticalité concentre la tension dramatique et isole Cléopâtre dans l’espace.
Cadrage resserré : Artemisia coupe presque toute la scène autour, plaçant la reine dans une bulle de pénombre, ce qui évite toute distraction narrative et renforce l’impact émotionnel.
Le regard vers le ciel et l’inclinaison du corps créent une diagonale qui guide l’œil du spectateur vers le point dramatique : le serpent approchant son sein.
2. Clair-obscur caravagesque
Artemisia, formée dans l’orbite du Caravage, emploie un contraste violent entre ombre et lumière :
Le corps de Cléopâtre est intensément éclairé, avec une carnation chaude et réaliste.
Le fond est presque entièrement englouti dans l’ombre, ce qui isole la figure et amplifie le drame.
La lumière n’est pas neutre : elle caresse la peau, donnant à la scène une sensualité qui coexiste avec la tension mortelle.
3. Naturalité et réalisme
Corps : loin des idéalisations classiques, la peau porte des tons variés, des zones rosées aux ombres brunes, avec une anatomie crédible (épaules légèrement voûtées, ventre souple, plis naturels).
Serpent : rendu précis mais sobre, il est un élément narratif et non un prétexte décoratif.
Les cheveux sont traités par masses et mèches réalistes, captant juste assez la lumière pour éviter le flou.
4. Émotion et psychologie
Artemisia ne peint pas une “belle morte” figée : Cléopâtre est dans un moment liminal, entre décision et acte fatal.
Le visage mêle résignation et grandeur, avec un léger écartement des lèvres et un regard fixe on sent un mélange d’effroi et de dignité royale.
L’émotion n’est pas hystérique ; c’est une tragédie intériorisée, ce qui diffère de nombreux artistes masculins qui accentuaient souvent l’érotisme ou le pathos théâtral.
5. Couleur et matière
Palette dominée par ocres chauds, bruns profonds et blancs crème.
Les drapés (quand visibles) sont sobres, servant à encadrer la nudité plutôt qu’à rivaliser avec elle.
Les transitions de lumière sont fondues : Artemisia maîtrise le sfumato pour la chair, mais avec une netteté plus dure pour les zones dramatiques (visage, serpent).
6. Position dans l’art baroque
Fidèle au baroque par :
Le moment capté au paroxysme de l’action.
L’utilisation du clair-obscur pour intensifier l’émotion.
Mais différente : elle refuse la surcharge décorative et évite les corps idéalisés à la manière de Rubens ou Guido Reni.
Cette retenue expressive et cette proximité corporelle sont caractéristiques de sa manière personnelle, souvent associées à son expérience de femme peintre dans un milieu dominé par les hommes.

“I really enjoyed this session – it was very informative and I learned a lot of things about saving electricity. Usually our teachers don’t tell us these things, but after this session me and my friends will go home and switch off extra lights and switches. I hope the team from PESCO comes back again to our school so we can learn more and win new prizes next time.”
