Alcoa Wellard Wetlands (S32° 18´ 18" E115° 50´ 18" UBD Map 468 C8)
Baldivis, Kwinana, Western Australia, Australia
The Alcoa Wellard Wetlands is located on Zig Zag Road. They are old clay pits that have been rehabilitated by ALCOA. From Perth drive south on the Kwinana Freeway, turn left (east) at Mundijong Road, right (south) at St Albans Road, and right (west) at Zig Zig Road. Park in the small limestone car park on the right at the gate. From the car park walk through the gate to the information sign.
I usually start at the Warbler Hide to look over Black Swan Lake for a few waterbirds and the arboretum for some bush birds including a chance of Red-capped Parrot. Then walk down to Cormorant Lake checking the meadow on the right for possible crakes. Turn left and walk 150 metres to Spinebill Hide (S32° 18´ 05" E115° 50´ 18"). Look for waterbirds including Great Crested Grebe from the hide. To the left of the hide there are some typha reeds. This is a good site for Clamorous Reed-warbler and in summer it is a fairly reliable site for Spotless Crake and a chance of Baillon's Crake. Continue past Cormorant Lake to Peregrine Hide (500 metres from the information sign) and Egret Lake. This is an excellent site for Great Crested Grebe and other waterbirds. You should always keep an eye out for raptors such as Swamp Harrier and Whistling Kite. You can walk back around Black Swan Lake although you are unlikely to see very much different.

“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.”

Des stalles du château de Gaillon sont conservées dans la basilique Saint-Denis près de Paris. Ce château était la résidence de loisir des archevêques de Rouen. Commandées au début du XVIe siècle par Georges d’Amboise, ces stalles ont été construites lorsque cet archevêque, devenu légat du pape et premier conseiller de Louis XII a fait transformer le château médiéval en palais de la Renaissance. Seules stalles en France à présenter de nombreux panneaux de marqueterie et une iconographie inédite, elles forment un mobilier unique, chef-d’œuvre de cette période charnière entre gothique et Renaissance, arborant une grande mixité de styles. Ces stalles sont les chaires qui étaient destinées aux trois chanoines qui officiaient dans la chapelle haute du château de Gaillon, dédiée à saint Georges. Elles étaient ceintes d’une clôture en boiset constituaient ainsi le chœur liturgique de l'édifice.
Les stalles en chêne sont composées de deux rangées disposées côté nord et sud du transept de la basilique de Saint-Denis. La rangée nord présente un ensemble de six stalles, la rangée sud de cinq stalles et une isolée. Seules douze stalles ont été créées au XVIe siècle alors que le programme iconographique en prévoyait quatorze. De 2,83 m de haut, elles composées d’un siège et d’un dorsal, ce dernier comprenant deux registres : un bas-relief surmontant un panneau de marqueterie. Tous les éléments sont sculptés ou marquetés. De manière unique, les dossiers, les dorsaux et les voussures des dais sont galbés. De même les chaires ont des largeurs variées, fixées par celles des bas-reliefs des dorsaux. Pour s’adapter, les largeurs d’autres composants ont été rectifiées. La mixité de style se retrouve dans la globalité, les interdorsaux et deux dais étant gothiques alors que les faibles reliefs sont apparentés aux grotesques de la Renaissance, les bas-reliefs et les marqueteries des dorsaux étant quant à eux à la fois d’inspiration péninsulaire et septentrionale.
Sont illustrées sur les bas-reliefs originaux des dorsaux deux scènes de la vie d’Anne et Joachim, parents de la vierge Marie, cinq scènes de la vie de saint Jean-Baptiste le précurseur et sept scènes de la vie de saint Georges selon les textes d’Évangile ou de la Légende dorée. Nombre d’autres saints sont présentés en pied, sous forme de statuettes sur les interdorsaux ou de bas-reliefs sur les soubassements des jouées, notamment les quatre évangélistes sur ces derniers. Sur les panneaux marquetés des quadrants des parcloses sont figurées les affres des enfers des condamnés selon les sept péchés capitaux, avec les planètes et leurs influences. Les représentations sont inspirées des gravures du Calendrier des bergers imprimé à cette époque.
Les miséricordes figurent des scènes des Métamorphoses d’Ovide ainsi que les arts libéraux selon la Margarita Philosophica de G. Reisch. Les artisans se sont inspirés de gravures d’ouvrages imprimés au début du XVIe siècle, par exemple le soldat romain Caius Mucius Scaevola devant le roi Étrusque Porsenna y étant représenté exposant ainsi des thématiques propres à la culture antique. De manière également tout à fait inédite, les 7 vertus, cardinales et théologales, et 7 sibylles sont figurées et représentées sur les panneaux de marqueterie du premier registre des dorsaux. Les allégories et les prophétesses sont encadrées d’architectures identiques deux à deux qui les mettent en concordance. Les sibylles ont été choisies parmi celles du manuscrit des Heures de Louis de Laval dont les auteurs ont cité les prophéties. Ces dernières proviennent du manuscrit des Institutions divines de Lactance qui était de nouveau traduit et que le cardinal a lui-même fait enluminer. Ce grand rhéteur du IVe siècle ayant quant à lui repris les oracles rédigés dans les Oracles sibyllins.
Georges Ier d’Amboise n’a pas manqué de faire valoir qu’il était le commanditaire des stalles en demandant à ce que ses armes et sa devise y figurent à de nombreuses reprises. Le légat a donné pour modèles aux artisans des stalles des enluminures ou gravures de manuscrits faisant partie de sa splendide bibliothèque, digne d'un grand érudit humaniste. Il fit venir l’Italie en choisissant la marqueterie figurative en sus de la sculpture, seule technique utilisée à l'époque en France. Sans renier la tradition en faisant figurer les saints, il a fait représenter de manière inédite leur cycle de vie, dont il a choisi des événements bien spécifiques. De plus, il a incité les fidèles à s’instruire et à étudier les auteurs antiques en faisant sculpter des allégories des arts libéraux et des personnages mythiques ou héroïques. Enfin, par le dialogue des sibylles et des vertus, il a montré que la rhétorique de Lactance était convaincante. Il a ainsi non seulement introduit en France la mode italienne dans le mobilier, le décor et les ornements du château de Gaillon, mais surtout donné corps à l’esprit humaniste en faisant de ses stalles les messagères qui appellent à une vie vertueuse, dans la foi au Christ annoncé à tous les hommes (cf. wikipédia, merci Glass Angel pour la photo).

A conserved 14th Century castle over a town of the same name, originally one of the local guard castles, standing perfectly in one line. It served for many centuries and was maintained, but after it was besieged by imperial armies in 1621, and burned down by Polish cossacks in 1624, it was ruined and partially collapsed in 1783, none of the palaces survived. Insensitive reconstruction into a tourist place began in 1899, which incorporated new buildings into the walls and destroyed many remaining parts. The most significant part is the main tower, 40 meters high, today a lookout.
Peintes vers 1080-1120, les peintures romanes sont très bien conservées et extrêmement bien réali-sées. Bien que lacunaire, ce programme est riche de plusieurs thèmes iconographiques. Sur le mur est, une frise grecque avec effet de relief et différents oiseaux parcourt tout le baptistère. Entre les deux oculi, un Christ avec un nimbe crucifère se tient en majesté dans sa mandorle avec un livre ouvert où est inscrit EGO [SUM V] I [TA] : Je suis la vie (Jean, XIV, 6). Autour de lui, deux anges épousent parfaitement la forme des fenêtres, tous deux tournés vers les Apôtres désignant le Christ. Ceux-ci ne sont pas reconnaissables individuellement, hormis saint Pierre à la droite du Christ. Ils sont en mouvement et marchent sur des vagues représentants le monde sur lequel répandre la parole divine, avec au dessus d'eux une inscription en latin AS-CENDO AD PA-TREM [MEUM E] T PA-TREM [VES-TRVM, DEVM ET DEVM VES-TRVM]. VI[RI G]A[LIL] EI [QVIS S]TA[TIS AS-PI-CIENT] ES IN CELVM. HIC HIESVS QVI ASVMTVS EST A VOBIS : Je monte vers mon Père et votre Père, mon Dieu et votre Dieu. Galilée qui lève les yeux au ciel. C'est Jésus qui vous a été enlevé.
Sous le Christ la main de Dieu représentée dans un médaillon. Sur l’arc en plein cintre, un Agnus Dei et deux anges thuriféraires, avec sous cet arc des personnages non identifiables dans des médaillons. Enfin, sur le dernier registre du mur, deux cavaliers sont situés de part et d’autre, le premier complètement effacé dont ne reste que la tête du cheval. A droite, le cavalier Constantin tenant un sceptre et un orbe, et marchant dans la direction du Christ, est le seul des quatre dont l’identité nous soit parvenue. Sur cette partie du mur se superposent le cavalier roman et les dernières scènes du cycle de la vie de saint Jean-Baptiste, datant du XIIIe siècle.
Sur le mur Nord, de gauche à droite, se situent une figure profane, un paon sous chaque oculi et sous l’arc en mitre un saint anonyme, avec à droite du mur deux apôtres. Sur le mur Ouest, les peintures sont très endommagées, un paon est tou-jours visible bien que pâle, un vase ocre s'y distingue aussi (vase de vie ou pour utiliser le chrême en vue d'oindre les catéchumènes. Un deuxième paon devait se trouver à côté avec, plus bas, deux autres cavaliers dont l’un est complet, couronné et tenant un sceptre. Le quatrième et dernier cavalier est lui aussi endommagé, seul le haut de son corps étant visible tenant les rênes de son cheval.
Sur le mur Sud, deux apôtres, non complets avec sous l’oculus un paon et sous l’arc en mitre, saint Maurice d’Agaune, désigné ici par MAVRICIVS en habit de légionnaire, ses reliques étant conservées dans la cathédrale primitive. Sous le second oculus, un dragon fait face à un homme brandissant une épée, symbole du combat entre le bien et le mal. Entre ces deux figures, une inscription CIL CRIA MARCI ET VRNA : il demanda grâce et s’enfuit (plus vieille inscription connue en langue vernaculaire) (cf. fra.archinform.net).

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.

Saturday(4-6-2016) CONSERVE NATURE AND THE BIG CATS OTHERWISE ALL WILD-LIFE COULD BE OF "Small Cats" ! :- "A DAY IN THE LIFE OF MY HOUSE CATS "Matahari" and "Matata".".Remembered a hilarious and prophetic "B.B.C" wildlife nature conservation advertisement where a professional wild-life photographer is tracking the daily life of a house cat as the "Big Cats" in the forests are rare or extinct. This was a message for "TIGER AND BIG CAT CONSERVATION" in its natural habitat. The day shouldn't come where wild-life safari's mean tracking your house pet cat or cats although both the "Small Domestic cat" and the "Jungle Big Cats" demonstrate identical natural instincts and behaviour. All this photo's are candid photo's and not "Studio Postures" . Taken throughout the day since i work from home with my cats as companions.This is their normal behaviour in my house for all 365 days of the year.Tourists who have visited "Wild-Life" National parks might have been baffled as to how the jeep drivers and trekkers know the actual location of some of the parks tigers, lions or leopards as also re-calling them by names.All "Cat owners" know the answer. "Big Cats" of the wild jungles have "Copy-cat" habits akin to pet house-hold cats and always follow the same jungle habit routine in their daily lives like our domestic house cats.This habit of the "Big Cats" is crucial in helping the forest guards keep track of the resident wild tigers or lions in the jungle forests

650 million people, even the water they are able to find is unsafe
Water crises are among the top risks to global economic growth
Growing cities, populations, changing climate placing pressures on water
Every minute a newborn dies from infection caused by a lack of safe water and environment
42% of healthcare facilities in Africa do not have access to safe water.
Developing countries half occupied poor water, sanitation and hygiene caused disease
Around 315,000 children under-five die every year caused by dirty water and poor sanitation
That's 900 children per day or one child every two minutes.
2.3 billion people do not have access to adequate sanitation, one in three of the world's population.
In Africa, an estimated 40 billion working hours are spent fetching water
Water in Accra, Ghana, costs three times as much as in New York.
Dhaka’s water tariff of Tk 6.99 per 1,000 litres ‘lowest in the world’.
The biggest threat to the present Planet Earth is Rapid Running Out of the Resources (RRR).

Coventry Transport Museum opened in 1980, after it became clear that the road transport collection was outgrowing the space it occupied in the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum. The Museum’s current collection of vehicles is acknowledged as being one of the finest in the world, and the largest in public ownership.
The Museum’s collection consists of motor cars, commercial vehicles, cycles and motorcycles. In addition, extensive collections of automobilia, books, photographs and a wealth of other archive material is held and conserved at the Coventry History Centre at the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum.
1935 Queen Mary's Daimler - This magnificent vehicle was one of two identical cars given to King George V and Queen Mary on their Silver Jubilee in 1935. It was used by the Royal Family until 1953.

L’église Saint-Martin est conservée en élévation dans son état roman. Elle a perdu son statut paroissiale au XIIe siècle, au profit de l'église castrale Saint-Hilaire, elle aussi conservée dans son état roman.
De très nombreuses églises en France sont sous le vocable de saint Martin. En effet, en toponymie, saint Martin est le saint le plus répandu
Saint Martin, le patron de la paroisse, a été le saint le plus vénéré en France pendant tout le Moyen-âge et le début de la période Moderne. Aujourd’hui encore, en France, plus de 500 communes et près de 4000 paroisses portent son nom. Né en Pannonie (la Hongrie actuelle), Martin fut d’abord soldat dans l’armée romaine. Après sa conversion, il se fit moine et fonda le célèbre monastère de Ligugé, en Poitou, et, plus tard, celui de Marmoutier. En 370, il fut nommé évêque de Tours. Tout en continuant sa vie de moine, il sillonna les campagnes de la France de l’ouest, convertissant les populations, détruisant les temples païens, fondant partout églises et monastères. Son zèle ardent de missionnaire lui valut le surnom « d’apôtre des Gaules ». Saint Martin est le patron des soldats et des cavaliers, des drapiers, des fourreurs et des tailleurs. Il est aussi, avec saint Denis et saint Louis, un des patrons de la monarchie française. Le 11 novembre, fête de saint Martin, est un temps fort du calendrier rural. C’est le moment de l’année où l’on payait dettes, fermages, loyers et redevances diverses. L’iconographie de saint Martin est très prolifique, à l’image de sa vie : la plupart du temps, il est représenté en soldat romain, en moine ou en évêque. La scène la plus célèbre est celle du cavalier coupant en deux son manteau pour en vêtir un pauvre nu et grelottant.

Michael MAIER Arcana arcannissima 1614
Arcana arcanissima, hoc est hieroglyphica aegyptio-graeca vulgo necdum cognita (slnd, [1614]). Seul manuscrit autographe de Maier, conservé à la bibliothèque de l'université de Leipzig.
Le salon
Seule pièce conservée dans son ensemble, le salon est à l’italienne, de forme circulaire et coiffé d’une coupole (lointain héritier du salon de Vaux !)
Il est éclairé par une lanterne zénithale et par l’illusion de huit baies cintrées, dont seulement trois sont réelles, les autres étant à glaces qui renvoient l’image du jardin, ce qui tend à y intégrer le salon.
L’ensemble des trumeaux et écoinçons est orné de stuc et de camées. Ainsi, Régnier fit les 24 camées " en stuc imitant les marbres les plus rares et pierres précieuses " et Dugourc y peignit "vingt quatre sujets antiques imitant des reliefs d’albâtre ".
Le décor fut complété par Dussaux qui peignit dans les embrasements des portes des arabesques en « ornements de coloris ».
Le salon a en outre conservé son parquet en échiquier peint « en graine d’Avignon », ses portes en « bois veiné » et sa cheminée de Bocciardi en marbre blanc veiné.

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.

Over the border to Berkshire now. A tootle along Combe Bottom conserving energy for the climb.
Combe is a tiny hidden hamlet, only accessible from either direction by a single narrow road and sheltered by Walbury and Inkpen hills. It seems remote and yet it's less than 8 miles south of the M4.

Watership Down 108km Audax, 8th Jan 2011.
Started at Kings Worthy then north round the west of Andover via Wherwell, Abbots Ann, Weyhill to the Hatchet Inn at Little Chute.
Back into Hants to Vernham Dean and Linkenholt then up via Combe to Berkshire and a 'nice' climb up Walbury Hill. Down to Kintbury then back into Hants again to Ball Hill and through to Sandham Memorial Chapel at Burghclere.
South past Sydmonton then over Watership Down itself and a long downhill race towards Whitchurch which we miss out at the last minute to skip over another ridge to Freefolk and Laverstoke.
Finally a desperate race against the sunset back through Stoke Charity then over the horrible switchback back to Kings Worthy and home for a bath and a pint.
This year I finished in 7:25, just 20 mins before control shut. This was actually an improvement on last time (2009) because there was still some twilight to see by, and last time it was 2 mins to control closing.
