After some rich colour I am back to my favourite black and whites for some much needed serenity.
It’s been a strange week. I read about some incredible initiatives for protecting and conserving elephants earlier in the week but then I read about the Dallas Safari Club. Don’t know if you guys know this but they were auctioning off an actual ‘hunt’ of an African bull elephant to raise money for conservation purposes. I can’t even get through that sentence without making my blood boil. Not only is the idea of hunting critically endangered ideas for sport baffling, the fact that it is done in the name of conservation is just sad.
Trophy hunting is not new to people of such elite and entitled clubs. The club’s CEO in fact said there are some parts of Africa which are ‘over populated’ with elephants and their efforts would in fact benefit ‘such’ areas. And this is a long standing tradition, last year they auctioned a hunt for a black rhino in Namibia for a whopping $350,000 and even made it clear than if the government doesn’t allow them to bring the carcass back to the USA, they would not donate the money for conservation! What does this tell us? Their claims of working for conservation is nothing but a farce and these poor animals are worth more dead than alive, adorning some rich hunters’ wall while he regales his guests with tales of his hunt.
Due to intense public pressure the elephant hunt has been called off for the time being. But there are other similar trophy hunting clubs out there. And we have an obligation to stop them where we can. These are worrying times for our rhinos and elephants and there is absolutely no place for trophy hunting, irrespective of how much money misguided hunters are ready to pay for their adventures in the wild.

They wisely conserve energy taking a break on our neighbour's warm deck. The orange cat lost one leg in an accident but seems to do alright for himself. A poem for you.
The cat’s song
By Marge Piercy
Mine, says the cat, putting out his paw of darkness.
My lover, my friend, my slave, my toy, says
the cat making on your chest his gesture of drawing
milk from his mother’s forgotten breasts.
Let us walk in the woods, says the cat.
I’ll teach you to read the tabloid of scents,
to fade into shadow, wait like a trap, to hunt.
Now I lay this plump warm mouse on your mat.
You feed me, I try to feed you, we are friends,
says the cat, although I am more equal than you.
Can you leap twenty times the height of your body?
Can you run up and down trees? Jump between roofs?
Let us rub our bodies together and talk of touch.
My emotions are pure as salt crystals and as hard.
My lusts glow like my eyes. I sing to you in the mornings
walking round and round your bed and into your face.
Come I will teach you to dance as naturally
as falling asleep and waking and stretching long, long.
I speak greed with my paws and fear with my whiskers.
Envy lashes my tail. Love speaks me entire, a word
of fur. I will teach you to be still as an egg
and to slip like the ghost of wind through the grass.
The Musée des Augustins de Toulouse is a fine arts museum in Toulouse, France which conserves a collection of sculpture and paintings from the Middle Ages to the early 20th century. The paintings are from throughout France, the sculptures representing Occitan culture of the region with a particularly rich assemblage of Romanesque sculpture. The building in which the museum is sited was built in 1309 in the Gothic style and prior to the French Revolution housed Toulouse's Augustinian convent. The convent was secularized in 1793 and first opened to the public as a museum on 27 August 1795 by decree of the French Convention, very shortly after the opening of the Louvre, making it one of the oldest museums in France after the Louvre and the Musée des Beaux Arts in Besançon. It at first housed the Muséum Provisoire du Midi de la République and the école des Beaux-Arts. The Musée des Augustins de Toulouse was one of fifteen museums founded in provincial centres, by a decree of 13 Fructidor year IX (31 August 1801), which was promulgated by the minister of the interior, Jean-Antoine Chaptal (Arrêté Chaptal du 14 fructidor an IX). At the start of the 19th century several medieval buildings (notably the refectory) were demolished and in their place Viollet-le-Duc and his pupil Darcy put up new exhibition galleries, accessed by a Gothic Revival monumental stair offering an interplay of richly complicated vaulting systems. The works continued from 1873 to 1901, when the museum reopened. In effect, Toulouse commissioned Urbain Vitry to ensure remove all the convent's religious characteristics. The archaeologist Alexandre Du Mège occupied the cloister and rebuilt it to be able to house the medieval collections gathered from Toulouse's destroyed religious buildings such as the basilique Saint-Sernin. Today the cloister houses a reconstructed medieval garden. The building was classed as a Monument historique in 1840. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musée_des_Augustins

Caryatides from the Erechtheion on the Acropolis (421-406 BCE) :
[ Explored ]
"At night the Caryatids could be heard wailing for their lost sister."
The Erechtheion is an Ionic Temple on the north side of the Acropolis and it was dedicated to Athena and Poseidon.It is opposite the Parthenon and it was built entirely of marble from Mount Penteli.The Caryatides (each one sculpted in a different manner ) supported the roof of the south porch of the Erechtheion, in place of the typical columns and they were holding it with elegance and grace.Today only copies of the Caryatides are shown. The 5 original ones are displayed in the New Acropolis Museum

"La colonnade antique se dresse dans un pré situé entre le Colostre et l'Auvestre : quatre colonnes romaines monolithes de granit gris, hautes de près de 5, 90 m. et surmontées de chapiteaux corinthiens en marbre blanc, supportent encore une architrave. Elles sont les derniers vestiges d'un temple dont certains ont supposé qu'il était dédié à Apollon, et qui pourrait dater de la fin du Ier siècle de notre ère. Leur particularité est d’avoir été conservées en place depuis l’Antiquité, à l’entrée de la ville." (Wikipédia)

Hummingbirds are among the smallest of birds, most species measuring 7.5–13 cm (3–5 in) in length. Indeed, the smallest extant bird species is a hummingbird, the 5 cm (2.0 in) bee hummingbird weighing less than 2.0 g (0.07 oz).
They are known as hummingbirds because of the humming sound created by their beating wings which flap at high frequencies audible to humans. They hover in mid-air at rapid wing-flapping rates, which vary from around 12 beats per second in the largest species, to more than 80 in some of the smallest. Of those species that have been measured in wind tunnels, their top speed exceeds 15 m/s (54 km/h; 34 mph) and some species can dive at speeds in excess of 22 m/s (79 km/h; 49 mph).
Hummingbirds have the highest metabolism of any homeothermic animal. To conserve energy when food is scarce, and nightly when not foraging, they can go into torpor, a state similar to hibernation, slowing metabolic rate to 1/15th of its normal rate.

“perhaps the best preserved and most wholly admirable castle in the world.”
"Certainement le château au monde le mieux préservé et le mieux conservé dans son entité" Laurence d'Arabie
Le Krak des Chevaliers, ou Krak de l'Hospital — krak dérive du syriaque karak signifiant forteresse ,
Qal`at al-Hosn (La forteresse imprenable) ou
Hisn al-Akrād (forteresse des Kurdes)
La forteresse est construite sur une colline de 750 mètres de haut aux flancs abrupts
Les chevaliers de l'Hôpital (ou Hospitaliers) gérèrent le fort de 1142 - offert par Raymond II, Comte de Tripoli - jusqu' à 1271, date de sa conquête par Az-Zâhir Rukn ad-Dîn Baybars al-Bunduqdari - Baybars Ier - sultan des Mamelouks. Il ne put malgré tout s'emparer du krak que par la ruse : il envoya une fausse missive, émanant prétendument du Grand Maître des Templiers, enjoignant aux assiégés de se rendre.
En 1157, un important tremblement de terre ébranla le château et Raymond du Puy, le grand maître des Hospitaliers, le fit restaurer et agrandir, nouveau tremblement de terre en 1170
Saladin (mort en 1193) eut beau infliger de nombreuses défaites aux croisés, ne put s'emparer du krak des Chevaliers
un des châteaux médiévaux les mieux préservé au monde

Krak des Chevaliers - Crusader castle - one of the most important preserved medieval castles in the world. The site was first inhabited in the 11th century by a settlement of Kurds; as a result it was known as Hisn al Akrad, meaning the Castle of the Kurds;. In 1142 given by Raymond II, Count of Tripoli, to the Knights Hospitaller.
Due to an earthquake in 1157, followed by another one in 1170, the castle was restored and enlarged,
It remained in their possession until it fell in 1271.
after a siege lasting 36 days, supposedly by way of a forged letter purportedly from the Hospitallers' Grand Master that caused the Knights to surrender.
It became known as Crac de l'Ospital; the name Krak des Chevaliers was coined in the 19th century.
could house up to 2.000 men and food for 5 years

L-Imdina ou plus simplement Mdina est connue comme la Ville du Silence pour la tranquillité et l’intimité que l’on ressent en flânant dans ses petites ruelles. Découvrez le meilleur de cette ville médiévale fortifiée, décor de grandes productions filmiques telles que Game of Thrones.
En haut d’une colline dans le centre de Malte s’élève l’une des villes fortifiées les mieux conservées d’Europe : Mdina. Ce labyrinthe de ruelles et monuments de pierre taillée, charme les milliers de voyageurs qui viennent chaque année découvrir cette ville clé de l’histoire de Malte.
Histoire
Mdina a été fondée par les phéniciens qui peuplèrent Malte en l'an 700 av. JC. En raison de son emplacement stratégique sur une colline éloignée de la mer, cette ville fortifiée est devenue la capitale de Malte jusqu’en 1530. Pendant la période romaine, Mdina a été rebaptisée comme “Citta Vecchia”.
On dit que lorsque l’apôtre Saint-Paul a fait naufrage à Malte, il assiégea Mdina et c’est à ce moment-là qu’il commença à répandre le catholicisme dans l’île.
Au cours de son histoire, malte a été habitée par les phéniciens, les romains, les arabes et par les Chevaliers de l’Ordre, qui construisirent la majorité des monuments qui aujourd’hui encore existent. Néanmoins, la structure urbaine de Mdina correspond au schéma typique des villes arabes, avec de petites ruelles qui se croisent entre elles.
En 1693, un terrible tremblement de terre dévasta l'Est de la Sicile et Malte fut également touchée, dont Mdina. Beaucoup d'édifices furent détruits. Les remparts et la ville furent restaurés par un architecte français, Charles François de Mondion, sous les ordres du Grand maître António Manoel de Vilhena, alors que la cathédrale Saint-Paul, détruite elle aussi, fut rebâtie par l'architecte maltais Lorenzo Gafa.
Aujourd’hui, environ 300 personnes vivent à Mdina, mais l’absence de véhicules privés et de bus ont fait d’elle la Ville du Silence. Visiter Mdina c’est découvrir l'un des meilleurs joyaux du patrimoine maltais afin de ressentir la tranquillité et l’intimité qu’offrent ses rues.
“You are a light that will always guide me, a whisper I’ll always strain to hear.” Lora Leigh.
On the south coast of the town of Wicklow, you will find one of the most incredible lighthouses in Ireland. Although there were two other active lighthouses at this headland in the past, it was decided to build a third on the lower part of the cliffs, as the other two often lacked visibility due to the fog. Today, one of the original lighthouses conserves only its tower (which is used as a hotel) and the other is in ruins, so only the most modern, built in 1818, is still in operation.
There are many photographic possibilities with this lighthouse, but in my opinion the most interesting option is to photograph it in the month of September at sunrise, since the position of the sun is ideal to complement the composition if you opt for a view of the lighthouse from the top of the cliffs.
After walking 15 minutes at night from my hotel and waiting patiently lying on the rocks to reduce the effects of the strong wind, the twilight and the first moments of sunrise were not very photogenic for me. However, when the sun rose high enough above the horizon it struck with its golden light the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, as well as the lighthouse and the cliffs. It was the time for our great guide of light to take over from the beautiful stone guide located under my feet.

"Tú eres una luz que siempre me guiará, un suspiro que siempre me esforzaré por escuchar." Lora Leigh.
En la costa sur del pueblo de Wicklow, se encuentra uno de los faros más increíbles de Irlanda. Aunque en el pasado hubo otros dos faros activos en este cabo, se decidió construir un tercero en la parte más baja de los acantilados, ya que los otros dos a menudo carecían de visibilidad por la niebla. Hoy en día, uno de los faros originales conserva sólo su torre (que se utiliza como hotel) y el otro está en ruinas, por lo que sólo el más moderno, construido en 1818, está aún en funcionamiento.
Son muchas las posibilidades fotográficas que ofrece este faro, pero en mi opinión la opción más interesante es fotografiarlo en el mes de septiembre al amanecer, ya que la posición del sol es ideal para complementar la composición si se opta por una vista del faro desde la parte de arriba de los acantilados.
Tras caminar 15 minutos a oscuras desde mi hotel y esperar pacientemente tumbado en las rocas para reducir los efectos del fuerte viento, el crepúsculo y los primeros momentos de la salida del sol no fueron muy fotogénicos para mí. Sin embargo, cuando el sol subió lo suficiente sobre el horizonte golpeó con su luz dorada las aguas del Océano Atlántico, así como el faro y los acantilados. Había llegado el momento para que nuestro gran guía de luz tomara el relevo del bello guía de piedra situado bajo mis pies.
This beautifully conserved dwelling and byre in Glen Lochay, near Killin, offers a unique insight into rural life in 19th-century and early 20th century Scotland. There are 5 jointed and pegged cruck couples, two of which can be viewed easily in the byre end of the house. The roof was originally thatched but this was raked back in the 1940s and covered with corrugated tin.
From Conserve Ireland:
Males are larger than females with the average adult male measuring up to 40cm for the head and body while the females are shorter measuring up to 30cm. Stoats have long slender tails in proportion to their bodies which have a distinctive black tip at the end, males grow slightly longer tails than females which can measure up to 14cm in length. Adult males weigh up to 400 grams with females being much lighter weighing on average 200 grams. Unusually for mammals there is a noticeable difference in the size of the Irish population of stoats with individuals in the south being bigger and heavier than those found in more northern areas.

Construit au XIIème siècle, en 1170, sur un dyke volcanique et sur les restes d'un castrum gallo-romain à 650m d'altitude, par Guillaume VIII d'Auvergne, le château de Busséol est l'une des rares forteresses romanes restées intactes qui domine la Limagne. Rare exemple d'architecture romane, il a conservé son caractère militaire, qui lui permit de résister au siège de Philippe Auguste en 1215, aux assauts des soldats du Prince Noir pendant la guerre de Cent Ans ainsi qu'à l'attaque du Duc de La Rochefoucauld chef des Ligueurs en 1595.
Ce Château-fort appartint successivement, dès l'origine, à des personnages illustres : les Comtes d'Auvergne, le Pape Alexandre III, Jean Stuart Prince d'Ecosse, Blanche de Clermont petite-fille de Saint-Louis... et releva du domaine royal par Catherine de Médicis, reine de France, Comtesse d'Auvergne qui y séjourna avec son fils Charles IX en 1566 lors de leur voyage en Auvergne. Il est ainsi considéré comme le plus historique de la Province. Epargné par Richelieu, il fut habité jusqu'à la Révolution.
Décoration intérieure évoquant le Moyen Âge. On peut également admirer un jardin suspendu dit "des Croisades" où poussent plantes, fleurs et arbustes cultivés au Moyen Âge.
Abandonnée durant la Révolution Française, cette solide forteresse, envahie par la végétation, fut sauvée en 1966, par ses propriétaires actuels. Meublée et habitée, elle est ainsi redevenue une demeure accueillante ouverte aux visiteurs. Ce château appartint à Jeanne, épouse de Jean le Bon, à Catherine de Médicis puis à la reine Margot. Du chemin de ronde on découvre un vaste panorama des Monts du Sancy au Livradois-Forez. Présentation d'une magnifique cheminée romane à foyer cylindrique, unique dans un château en France.

Built in the Xiith century, in 1170, on a dyke of volcanic and on the remains of a castrum gallo-roman at 650m of altitude, by William VIII of Auvergne, the castle of Busséol is one of the few fortresses of the romance remained intact, which dominates the Limagne. Rare example of romanesque architecture, it has retained its military character, which enabled him to withstand the siege of Philippe Auguste in 1215, the assaults of the soldiers of the Black Prince during the Hundred Years war and the attack of the Duke of La Rochefoucauld-chief of the Leaguers in 1595.
This Castle belonged successively, from the beginning, to famous people : the Counts of Auvergne, the Pope Alexander III, John Stuart, Prince of Scotland, White of Clermont, granddaughter of Saint-Louis... and raised the royal estate by Catherine de Medici, queen of France, Countess of Auvergne, who stayed there with her son Charles IX in 1566 during their trip in the Auvergne region. Thus, it is considered the most historic of the Province. Spared by Richelieu, it was inhabited until the French Revolution.
Interior decoration evoking the Middle Ages. We can also admire a hanging garden called "the Crusades" where they grow plants, flowers and shrubs grown in the Middle Ages.
Abandoned during the French Revolution, this strong fortress, invaded by vegetation, was rescued in 1966 by its current owners. Furnished and inhabited, thus, it is once again a remains welcoming, open to visitors. This castle belonged to Joan, wife of John the Good, to Catherine de ' Medici and the queen Margot. The round path, we discover a vast panorama of the Monts du Sancy in the Livradois-Forez. Presentation of a beautiful fireplace, a romanesque fireplace, cylindrical, single, in a castle in France.

El bosque o la selva de Irati (Iratiko oihana en euskera) es un bosque repartido entre el norte de Navarra (España) y los Pirineos Atlánticos (Sola y Baja Navarra) en el suroeste de Francia.
Por su parte española está situada en el valle del río Irati, entre los montes de Orzanzurieta y Roncesvalles al oeste, y el monte Orhi al este. El límite sur lo pone la imponente mole de la Sierra de Abodi. Los principales accesos son por el oeste por Orbaiceta (Valle de Aézcoa) y por el este por Ochagavía (Valle de Salazar).
Se trata de la mayor masa forestal de Navarra y uno de los mayores y mejor conservados bosques de hayas (Fagus sylvatica) y abetos (Abies alba) de toda Europa. A pesar de ser un bosque explotado forestalmente desde los siglos XVI-XVII, el respeto y el buen hacer de los habitantes de estos valles ha hecho que se conserve en total plenitud. Existen dentro de la zona diversos espacios protegidos: todo el Irati es una ZEPA (Zona de Especial Protección de Aves), así como zonas protegidas como Reserva Natural o Reserva Integral del total de 17.000 ha del bosque.
The Irati forest or jungle (Iratiko oihana in Basque) is a forest distributed between the north of Navarra (Spain) and the Atlantic Pyrenees (Sola and Lower Navarra) in southwestern France.
For its Spanish part, it is located in the valley of the Irati river, between the Orzanzurieta and Roncesvalles mountains to the west, and the Orhi mountain to the east. The southern limit is set by the imposing mass of the Sierra de Abodi. The main accesses are to the west through Orbaiceta (Valle de Aézcoa) and to the east through Ochagavía (Valle de Salazar).
It is the largest forest mass in Navarra and one of the largest and best preserved beech (Fagus sylvatica) and fir (Abies alba) forests in all of Europe. Despite being a forest exploited by forestry since the 16th-17th centuries, the respect and good work of the inhabitants of these valleys has made it fully preserved. There are several protected areas within the area: the entire Irati is a ZEPA (Special Bird Protection Area), as well as protected areas such as Natural Reserve or Integral Reserve of the total 17,000 ha of forest.

2018 NJ BALD EAGLE PROJECT REPORT
by: Larissa Smith, CWF Wildlife Biologist
The Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ in partnership with the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife, Endangered and Nongame Species Program, has released the 2018 NJ Bald Eagle Project Report.
“Two hundred-four nest sites were monitored during the nesting season, of which 185 were documented to be active (with eggs) and 19 were territorial or housekeeping pairs. Thirty new eagle pairs were found this season, 20 in the south, nine in central and one in the north. One hundred-twenty-one nests (66%) of the 182 known-outcome nests produced 172 young, for a productivity rate of 0.94 young per active/known-outcome nest. The failure rate was well above average with 61 nests (33%) failing to produce. The Delaware Bay region remained the state’s eagle stronghold, with roughly half of nests located in Cumberland and Salem counties and the bayside of Cape May County.”
The number of active nests has increased while the number of young eagles fledged has decreased since a high of 216 young fledged in 2016. During the 2018 eagle nesting season there was an abundance of cold, wet, windy and snowy weather which was the cause for a portion of the nest failures. As the eagle population increases, there are more eagles competing for territories. This can also be a contributing factor in nest failures. NJ is still in the range of 0.9 to 1.1 young per nest which is needed for population maintenance with a productivity rate of 0.94 young per known-outcome/active nest in 2018. The 2018 NJ Eagle Project Report has all the details on the project including telemetry, re-sightings and recoveries.
The success of the eagle project is due to the tremendous dedication of the NJ Eagle Project Volunteers. They monitor the nests in all types of conditions and education people about the eagles with enthusiasm.

“perhaps the best preserved and most wholly admirable castle in the world.”
"Certainement le château au monde le mieux préservé et le mieux conservé dans son entité" Laurence d'Arabie
Le Krak des Chevaliers, ou Krak de l'Hospital — krak dérive du syriaque karak signifiant forteresse ,
Qal`at al-Hosn (La forteresse imprenable) ou
Hisn al-Akrād (forteresse des Kurdes)
La forteresse est construite sur une colline de 750 mètres de haut aux flancs abrupts
Les chevaliers de l'Hôpital (ou Hospitaliers) gérèrent le fort de 1142 - offert par Raymond II, Comte de Tripoli - jusqu' à 1271, date de sa conquête par Az-Zâhir Rukn ad-Dîn Baybars al-Bunduqdari - Baybars Ier - sultan des Mamelouks. Il ne put malgré tout s'emparer du krak que par la ruse : il envoya une fausse missive, émanant prétendument du Grand Maître des Templiers, enjoignant aux assiégés de se rendre.
En 1157, un important tremblement de terre ébranla le château et Raymond du Puy, le grand maître des Hospitaliers, le fit restaurer et agrandir, nouveau tremblement de terre en 1170
Saladin (mort en 1193) eut beau infliger de nombreuses défaites aux croisés, ne put s'emparer du krak des Chevaliers
un des châteaux médiévaux les mieux préservé au monde
13 tours, écuries, salles, magasins, citernes, passages et ponts
à 40 km à l'ouest de la ville de Homs, proche de la frontière du Liban, à 30 km à vol d'oiseau de la mer
Le 20 mars 2014, le château, jusque-là tenu par la rébellion, est repris par les forces gouvernementales

Krak des Chevaliers - Crusader castle - one of the most important preserved medieval castles in the world. The site was first inhabited in the 11th century by a settlement of Kurds; as a result it was known as Hisn al Akrad, meaning the Castle of the Kurds;. In 1142 given by Raymond II, Count of Tripoli, to the Knights Hospitaller.
Due to an earthquake in 1157, followed by another one in 1170, the castle was restored and enlarged,
It remained in their possession until it fell in 1271.
after a siege lasting 36 days, supposedly by way of a forged letter purportedly from the Hospitallers' Grand Master that caused the Knights to surrender.
It became known as Crac de l'Ospital; the name Krak des Chevaliers was coined in the 19th century.
could house up to 2.000 men and food for 5 years
located 40 kilometres (25 mi) west of the city of Homs, close to the border of Lebanon, 30 km from the sea, the castle sits atop a 750-metre-high (2,130 ft) hill
13 towers, cisterns, barrracks, shops, stables, bridges

Berzé est la plus importante et la mieux conservée des forteresses de la Bourgogne, construite du XIII° au XV° siècle autour de sa chapelle carolingienne..
Medieval bridge over the river Fluvia to the village Besalu in Catalonia Spain. After several visits, I finally captured a strong reflection of the beautiful Romanesque bridge, which was constructed in the 12th century. The old part of the village is exceptionally well conserved and contains many interesting historic buildings. It played an important role in the early Middle Ages where it was the capital of the county La Garrotxa. In case you happen to like one of my photographs, I would like to mention that I sell prints of my best ones at the print-on-demand site Redbubble (www.redbubble.com/people/kimvbpedersen/).
Location: Teck Lim Road at Keong Saik Street.
This building was built when I wasn't even born yet. It managed to survive through the course of history including the Japanese invasion of Singapore. On the right background is The Pinnacle at Tanjong Pagar, one of Singapore's tallest and most expensive place to own.
Teck Lim Road
Teck Lim Road is a one-way road linking Keong Saik Road to Neil Road in Chinatown within the Outram Planning Area of Singapore. The road is lined with conserved quaint shophouses and houses a number of budget hotels and F & B outlets. –Wikipedia
About Keong Saik Street
Once a famous Red Light (prostitution) district of Singapore the area has now been conserved and converted into an entertainment district in Chinatown. The prostitution business has since shifted over to Geylang where it is still popular for those looking for some pleasure.

You should know that it is not the original works that are exhibited at the Jheronimus Bosch Art Center but high quality photos in the original size of the work framed optimally. You can manipulate the triptychs.
In 2016, there was a big exhibition that had a lot of success with the original works at the Noordbrabants museum which adjoins the Stedelijk museum, but you could hardly get close and the cameras were forbidden.
The original of this painting is kept in the museum of Beaux Arts of Gand (Gent).
Il faut savoir que ce ne sont pas les oeuvres originales qui sont exposées au Jheronimus Bosch Art Center mais bien des photos de grande qualité au format original de l'oeuvre encadrées de façon optimale. Vous pouvez manipuler les triptyques.
En 2016, il y a eu une grande exposition qui a eu énormément de succès avec les oeuvres originales au Noordbrabants museum qui jouxte le Stedelijk museum, mais vous pouviez à peine approcher et les appareils photos étaient interdits.
NEW JERSEY 2017 BALD EAGLE PROJECT REPORT
ANOTHER PRODUCTIVE YEAR FOR NJ’S EAGLES
by Larissa Smith, CWF Wildlife Biologist
The Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ in partnership with the NJ Endangered and Nongame Species Program has released the 2017 NJ Bald Eagle Project Report. In 2017, 178 eagle nests were monitored during the nesting season. Of these nests 153 were active (with eggs) and 25 were territorial or housekeeping pairs. One hundred and ninety young were fledged.
In 2017 the number of active nests was three more than in 2016, but the number young fledged decreased by 27 from a record high of 216 fledged in 2016. The productivity rate this season of 1.25 young/active nest is still above the required range of 0.0 to 1.1 for population maintenance. Productivity could be lower this season for many reasons including weather, predation and disturbance to the nesting area. In 2017 nest monitors reported several instances of “intruder” eagles at nests which did disrupt the nesting attempts of several pairs. One of these “eagle dramas” unfolded at the Duke Farms eagle cam watched by millions of people. An intruder female attempted to replace the current female. This harassment interrupted the pairs bonding and copulation and no eggs were laid.
This year’s report includes a section on Resightings of banded eagles. Resightings of NJ (green) banded eagles have increased over the years, as well as eagles seen in NJ that were banded in other states. These resightings are important, as they help us to understand eagle movements during the years between fledging and settling into a territory, as well as adult birds at a nest site.

The Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ in partnership with the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife, Endangered and Nongame Species Program, has released the 2018 NJ Bald Eagle Project Report.
“Two hundred-four nest sites were monitored during the nesting season, of which 185 were documented to be active (with eggs) and 19 were territorial or housekeeping pairs. Thirty new eagle pairs were found this season, 20 in the south, nine in central and one in the north. One hundred-twenty-one nests (66%) of the 182 known-outcome nests produced 172 young, for a productivity rate of 0.94 young per active/known-outcome nest. The failure rate was well above average with 61 nests (33%) failing to produce. The Delaware Bay region remained the state’s eagle stronghold, with roughly half of nests located in Cumberland and Salem counties and the bayside of Cape May County.”

The lakes are at their lowest level making the reflections longer. I've been able to access areas normally surrounded by water. It's been quite exciting to explore different sections of this area.
De la chimie qu’il a étudiée dans les années 1970, Tony Cragg conserve une curiosité pour les nouveaux matériaux. Sa sculpture s’élabore alors à partir des débris d’objets en plastique récupérés. Ce matériel ordinaire et hétéroclite est disposé au sol dans un désordre contredit cependant par l’ordonnancement géométrique ou chromatique de la sculpture. Dans ses « empilements », l’artiste anglais échafaude de même un amas d’éléments collectés, qui tiennent pourtant dans les limites strictes d’un volume cubique. Plan de coupe de la société industrielle fossilisée à travers ces reliquats matériels, ce travail a pu être apparenté à une géologie sociale. Il prend une dimension plus sensuelle dès lors que Cragg accentue son travail intrigant de la surface et de la forme. Monumentales, les sculptures s’inspirent de formes organiques ou naturelles et sont réalisées par les techniques traditionnelles du moulage ou du soufflage. Molécules d’ADN, dents, coquillages prêtent leur structure à des pièces qui rendent visible le monde des formes premières et vivantes.
Minster, première version qui date de 1985, relève a priori d’un travail tourné vers la société industrielle puisque les matériaux y sont prélevés. Mais les pneus, les disques dentelés métalliques ou les fuseaux en bois sont empilés dans des colonnes à l’architecture peut-être primitive. Sorte de totems modernes, ces « cercles » réactualiseraient des formes supports de rituels originels. Ils semblent conjoindre et stratifier des âges successifs pour finalement se poser comme les traces contemporaines d’une mémoire sociale.
From the chemistry he studied in the 1970s, Tony Cragg retains a curiosity for new materials. His sculpture is then developed from the debris of recovered plastic objects. This ordinary and heterogeneous material is arranged on the ground in a disorder contradicted by the geometric or chromatic arrangement of the sculpture. In his "piles," the English artist similarly constructs a heap of collected elements, which nevertheless fit within the strict limits of a cubic volume. A cross-section of industrial society fossilized through these material remnants, this work could be compared to social geology. It takes on a more sensual dimension when Cragg accentuates his intriguing work with surface and form. Monumental, the sculptures are inspired by organic or natural forms and are created using traditional molding or blowing techniques. DNA molecules, teeth, and shells lend their structure to pieces that make visible the world of primal, living forms.
Minster, the first version dating from 1985, appears to be a work oriented towards industrial society, since the materials were taken from there. But tires, serrated metal discs, and wooden spindles are stacked in columns of perhaps primitive architecture. A sort of modern totem, these "circles" recreate forms that support original rituals. They seem to combine and stratify successive ages, ultimately emerging as contemporary traces of a social memory.
La Catedral Metropolitana de Santa María de la Asunción, situada en la ciudad de Pamplona (Comunidad Foral de Navarra, España), sede de la Archidiócesis de Pamplona y Tudela, es un conjunto arquitectónico eclesiástico único, por tratarse del complejo catedralicio más completo que se conserva en España. Presenta las edificaciones habituales en otras catedrales como iglesia, claustro y sacristías, pero además conserva la cillería, refectorio, sala capitular y dormitorio, que son más propias de la vida común a la que estaba sujeto su cabildo y que a lo largo de los siglos se han ido derribando en otras catedrales españolas. Las estancias que lo configuran fueron construidas en distintas épocas y estilos, conservándose hoy en día algunas de las dependencias románicas, pero predominando sobre todo las edificadas en estilo gótico (entre ellas la iglesia y el claustro) de los siglos XIV al XVI. La fachada oeste, de estilo neoclásico, se levantó a finales del siglo XVIII.
Destacan en este conjunto de edificios; el claustro, que está considerado una maravilla del arte gótico europeo y desde luego el mejor claustro del siglo XIV; la cocina, que es uno de los tres únicos ejemplos supervivientes de cocina gótica de toda Europa; y por último la fachada principal, una de las obras más puras y representativas del neoclasicismo en la península.
La edificación actual ocupa una extensa área en el Casco Antiguo de la ciudad, concretamente en la parte más alta de la Navarrería. Esta es la zona de Pamplona donde se han encontrado los restos arqueológicos más antiguos, datados en la Primera Edad del Hierro. Sobre este mismo emplazamiento se situaba el núcleo principal de la ciudad romana, del que se han hallado numerosos restos en las diferentes excavaciones arqueológicas realizadas dentro y fuera del edificio, que demuestran que el lugar que ocupa el templo correspondía con la encrucijada del cardo y decumano, las dos calles que representaban el centro neurálgico de toda ciudad romana.

The Metropolitan Cathedral of Santa María de la Asunción, located in the city of Pamplona (Comunidad Foral de Navarra, Spain), seat of the Archdiocese of Pamplona and Tudela, is a unique ecclesiastical architectural complex, as it is the most complete cathedral complex preserved in Spain. It has the usual buildings found in other cathedrals, such as the church, cloister and sacristies, but it also conserves the cillería, refectory, chapter house and dormitory, which are more typical of the common life to which its chapter was subject and which over the centuries have been demolished in other Spanish cathedrals. The rooms that make up the cathedral were built at different times and in different styles, with some of the Romanesque rooms remaining today, but those built in the Gothic style (including the church and the cloister) from the 14th to 16th centuries predominate. The west façade, in neoclassical style, was erected at the end of the 18th century.
Highlights of this group of buildings include: the cloister, which is considered a marvel of European Gothic art and certainly the best cloister of the 14th century; the kitchen, which is one of the only three surviving examples of a Gothic kitchen in Europe; and finally the main façade, one of the purest and most representative works of Neoclassicism on the peninsula.
The current building occupies an extensive area in the Old Quarter of the city, specifically in the highest part of the Navarrería. This is the area of Pamplona where the oldest archaeological remains have been found, dating from the First Iron Age. The main nucleus of the Roman city was located on this same site, of which numerous remains have been found in the different archaeological excavations carried out inside and outside the building, which show that the place occupied by the temple corresponded to the crossroads of the cardo and decumanus, the two streets that represented the nerve centre of any Roman city.

Parque das Nações - Parc des Nations.
Le Parque das Nações, situé au bord du Tage, à l'est du centre-ville, est assurément le quartier le plus moderne et futuriste de Lisbonne. Il a accueilli l'EXPO'98, dont le thème était l'océan vu comme une véritable richesse pour l'avenir de l'homme. Cette ancienne zone industrielle fut réaménagée pour l'occasion : des jardins et des édifices contemporains avaient été construits, ainsi que des pavillons où l'on organisait des événements et des expositions qui présentaient toutes les facettes de la mer et du monde aquatique en rapport avec le genre humain. Une bonne partie de ces constructions a été conservée et engendre encore un réel attrait pour ce quartier. Aujourd'hui, on s'y rend pour flâner sur la promenade le long du fleuve, en admirant l'architecture de bâtiments insolites, pour faire du shopping dans le très beau centre commercial Vasco de Gama, pour visiter l'aquarium impressionnant de l'Oceonário ou encore profiter de la vue qu'offre le téléphérique.
