Le temple de la Concorde est, avec l'Héphaïstéion (Théséion) d'Athènes et le temple de Poséidon à Paestum, l'un des temples les mieux conservés de l'antiquité grecque. Son appellation arbitraire n'est due qu'à une inscription romaine trouvée à proximité, où figurait le mot latin concordia. Il a été construit dans les années -440 à -430.

Les inégalités du terrain sur lequel il est édifié sont compensées par un soubassement (krépis) important. Son plan correspond à la forme la plus classique des temples d'Agrigente : pronaos, naos, opisthodome et péristyle de 6 × 13 colonnes.

Le temple de la Concorde est de tous ceux d'Agrigente celui qui a été réalisé avec le plus de précision. Le problème des extrémités propre aux temples doriques (conflit entre la régularité des métopes et des triglyphes d'une part, et l'espacement régulier des colonnes d'autre part) a été résolu d'une manière inhabituelle : il a été procédé tout à la fois au rétrécissement de l'espace entre les deux dernières colonnes et à l'allongement de la métope extrême, pour un meilleur effet visuel.

Les recherches ont également montré que les parties inférieures du temple étaient ornées de stucs blancs, tandis que les frises, métopes et parties hautes étaient peintes de couleurs vives. Le toit était couvert de tuiles de marbre.

En 597, l'évêque Grégoire d'Agrigente a fait du temple une basilique chrétienne consacrée aux apôtres Pierre et Paul, après en avoir chassé les démons païens Eber et Raps qui y demeuraient11. Chacun des murs de la cella fut alors percé de douze arcatures, et les entrecolonnements furent murés, tout comme on peut encore le voir de nos jours à la cathédrale de Syracuse. L'entrée fut reportée sur le côté ouest, ce qui entraîna la suppression de la cloison entre le naos et l'opisthodome, tandis que la sacristie trouvait sa place dans l'ancien pronaos.

La découverte dans le temple de deux figures de dieux puniques mises de côté a fait déduire que déjà les Grecs y honoraient deux divinités, peut-être les Dioscures.

Après l'abandon de la cité, l'église fut à nouveau remise en usage, jusqu'au XVIIe siècle. Elle est désaffectée en 1748. En 1788, les dernières structures appartenant à l'église chrétienne sont enlevées par ordre du prince de Torremuzza. Depuis lors, le temple a été restauré dans son état initial.

 

The Temple of Concord is, along with the Hephaestion (Thesion) of Athens and the Temple of Poseidon at Paestum, one of the best-preserved temples of Greek antiquity. Its arbitrary name is only due to a Roman inscription found nearby, where the Latin word concordia appeared. It was built in the years -440 to -430.

The unevenness of the land on which it is built is compensated by a significant base (krépis). Its plan corresponds to the most classic form of the temples of Agrigento: pronaos, naos, opisthodome and peristyle of 6 × 13 columns.

The temple of Concord is of all those of Agrigento the one that was created with the most precision. The problem of extremities proper to Doric temples (conflict between the regularity of the metopes and triglyphs on the one hand, and the regular spacing of the columns on the other hand) has been solved in an unusual way: both by narrowing the space between the last two columns and by lengthening the extreme metope, for a better visual effect.

Research has also shown that the lower parts of the temple were decorated with white stucco, while the friezes, metopes and upper parts were painted in bright colors. The roof was covered with marble tiles.

In 597, Bishop Gregory of Agrigento made the temple a Christian basilica dedicated to the apostles Peter and Paul, after having driven out the pagan demons Eber and Raps who lived there11. Each of the cella's walls was then pierced with twelve arches, and the intersections were walled, just as we can still see today in the cathedral of Syracuse. The entrance was moved to the west side, which led to the removal of the partition between the naos and the opisthodome, while the sacristy found its place in the old pronaos.

The discovery in the temple of two figures of Punic gods put aside made it deduce that already the Greeks honored two deities there, perhaps the Dioscuri.

After the abandonment of the city, the church was again put back into use, until the 17th century. It was abandoned in 1748. In 1788, the last structures belonging to the Christian church were removed by order of the prince of Torremuzza. Since then, the temple has been restored to its original state.

l'église conserve, dans la chapelle de la Communion (ou des Catéchismes), une très belle collection de vitraux peints à l'émail de la fin du XVIe siècle ou du début du XVIIe. Mutilés et dispersés à la Révolution, ils furent à nouveau réunis en 1834 ; il n'en reste plus que 12 sur les 22 initiaux.

 

In the Communion (or Catechism) chapel, the church has a fine collection of enamel-painted stained glass windows from the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Used up and dispersed during the Revolution, they were reunited in 1834; only 12 of the original 22 remain.

On 18 July 2016, I had a wonderful day out NE of the city with my daughter. The last time I actually drove eastwards was about seven months ago, when I was shooting Short-eared Owls near the end of January. The last time (also the first time) I had ever driven out as far as Drumheller was on 29 September 2014. So, my daughter and I had a great time exploring the roads between Calgary and Drumheller. There were a handful of things or places we wanted to check out, but many things were total surprises. We knew we wanted to see fields, yellow fields full of canola as far as the eye could see. No disappointment there, as we took in the gorgeous colour and the perhaps not so pleasant smell of this crop. When we were driving through regular, green landscapes, it all seemed so 'ordinary' after being treated to vibrant gold.

 

As well as canola fields, we also knew of a particular grain elevator and nearby old barn that we were keen to see. There was also an old, two-storey house in a hilly setting that we knew would have to be photographed from a great distance, but we were curious about it. There was also a small wetland that I wanted to drive by, just in case there was something to see. How glad we were that we went, as this Black-crowned Night-heron was posing nicely on a post out in the open. This was the first time I had ever seen one close, so it made my day. At least, an adult - in October 2015, I had seen a gorgeous juvenile in Fish Creek Park.

 

Continuing on our way, we stopped to take a couple of quick shots of an Eastern Kingbird and then my daughter spotted a dark patch just above ground level, hidden in the bushes. It turned out to be an Eastern Kingbird's nest, with what looked like three large babies in it. No idea how she caught sight of this, but it was a treat to see.

 

Soon after this, we stopped to photograph a beautiful red barn and then stopped again to photograph a Western Kingbird. This is not a bird I normally see, so i was very happy to catch sight of this one.

 

A short drive further, we spotted a shorebird standing on a fence post - and then a second one a few posts away. At first, we thought maybe they were Wilson's Snipe, but then realized that they were something different - two beautiful Upland Sandpipers. I had seen one a number of years ago, but it was too far away for a photo. These are uncommon in Alberta.

 

It was a pretty good day for hawks, too - so much so, that I got a gentle reminder from my daughter that I didn't need to photograph EVERY hawk we saw, lol. We had other places and other things that we wanted to get to.

 

As well as birds and beautiful scenery, we saw several old barns, including a special small shed/granary. Each year, the farmer allows the graduating class from the local high school to decorate this old building in any way they wish. A fun idea and it certainly adds a splash of colour. I was absolutely fascinated to read a little bit of history from someone who was a contact of mine on Flickr two or three years ago. Her Grandmother was apparently born in this house/shed. It was later converted to a granary and now, of course, has become the canvas for local students.

 

One of our main goals was to visit the old grain elevator at Sharples. I had wanted to visit there for quite a while and finally, we made it. Unfortunately, the elevator and nearby barn were in shadow, but it was great to see both old structures. We also passed another old elevator when we were driving along the road north of the river, on the way to Drumheller. This, needless to say, meant another stop for photos.

 

A great day of fun, seeing and photographing such a variety of things. Beautiful weather and, best of all, a day spent with my daughter. Thanks so much, Rachel - glad you felt up to a day out, but sorry you got so many mosquito bites!

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.

SPOTLIGHT ON THE BALD EAGLE’S ALL-AMERICAN COMEBACK IN NEW JERSEY

 

by Lindsay McNamara, Communications Manager

June 20th 2016

 

In 1985 — just 31 years ago — a single bald eagle nest remained in the state of New Jersey. In 2015, CWF and partners monitored 161 nests throughout the Garden State. Just this year (as of June 20, 2016), over 50 young eagles have already fledged from their nests! What sparked this All-American comeback of the United States’ National Bird?

 

DDT use was banned in the United States in 1972. That ban combined with restoration efforts by biologists within the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife’s Endangered and Nongame Species Program (ENSP) resulted in 25 bald eagle pairs by 2000.

 

In 2017 the number of New Jersey active bald eagle pairs was 170.

Bayside Parklands' central section of foreshore parks beside Moreton Bay connects the mangroves in the north with the southern bushland and creeks. Moreton Bay Marine Park begins at the high watermark. These foreshore parks conserve some of the Bay's remaining coastal habitats and provide many waterside recreational opportunities. Many migratory wading birds and shorebirds visit Moreton Bay each summer. The migratory birds are protected under the JAMBA (Japan-Australia Migratory Bird Agreements) and CAMBA (China-Australia Migratory Bird Agreements) international conservation agreements.

 

Mangroves firing the Parklands northern shores and the tidal banks of Lota and Tingalpa Creeks in the south. Fish, prawns, and crabs spawn and shelter in the mangroves. These marine nurseries form the ecological basis of Moreton Bay's commercial and recreational fishery. Each hectare of mangroves is estimated to produce over $8000 of marketable fish alone each year. The mangroves shelter and an amazing variety of birds. Ibis, spoonbills, and egrets feed on tiny plants and animals in the mud. Insect-eating birds - gerygones, flycatchers, and whistles feed in the mangrove branches.

 

The southern bushlands connect wildlife corridors along Lota and Tingalpa Creeks. These bushland are important fauna and flora habitats protecting a number of rare and endangered species. Powerful Owls have been seen here. Lota Creek opens into melaleuca swamps and freshwater lagoons before emptying into Moreton Bay. These creeks are habitats abound with wildlife sheltering frogs, lizards, birds of prey, wallabies, and wading birds. The southernmost bushlands are open forests with woodlands and coastal ??? and are a known habitat for koalas. In late winter and spring the heath wildflowers burst into bloom.

Le Théâtre Antique d'Orange est le théâtre romain

le mieux conservé en occident, classé au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. Edifié sous l'empereur Auguste au Ier siècle de notre ère. Son mur de scène (37 mètres de haut sur 103 mètres de long), est l'un des mieux conservés du monde romain, et place le monument parmi les plus grands témoignages de toute la Rome Antique. Le théâtre occupait une place centrale dans la cité et la vie de ses habitants qui y passaient une grande partie de leur temps libre. Pour le pouvoir romain, le théâtre était un moyen de diffusion de la culture latine auprès des populations colonisées mais aussi un prétexte pour les éloigner de toute préoccupation politique. Véritables divertissements, les spectacles duraient toute la journée. Les Romains, peu passionnés par les tragédies grecques dont s'inspiraient au début les auteurs latins, préféraient un répertoire plus léger : dell'Arte. Les mimes, pantomimes, récitals de poésie, et surtout l'attelane, farce assez proche de la Commedia public populaire voulait avant tout du sensationnel : la mise en scène devint donc prédominante avec le développement de la machinerie. Le théâtre, gratuit, était accessible à tous et était le seul endroit public où l'on pouvait côtoyer les femmes. En revanche, la circulation dans les couloirs et les galeries était conçue de telle sorte que les spectateurs de statut social différent ne se mélangent pas. Aujourd'hui, le Théatre Antique d'Orange est un lieu culturel où des événements tels que le théâtre, l'opéra ou des concerts sont proposés. Sa capacité d'accueil est importante avec 9000 places réservées aux spectateurs.

The Roman Theater of Orange is the Roman theater

the best preserved in the West, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built under the Emperor Augustus in the first century of our era. Its stage wall (37 meters high and 103 meters long), is one of the best preserved in the Roman world, and places the monument among the greatest testimonies of all the ancient Rome. The theater occupied a central place in the city and the life of its inhabitants, who spent a great deal of their free time there. For the Roman power, the theater was a means of spreading the Latin culture to the colonized populations but also a pretext to remove them from any political concern. True entertainment, the shows lasted all day. The Romans, unenthusiastic about the Greek tragedies that initially inspired Latin authors, preferred a lighter repertoire: dell'Arte. The mimes, pantomimes, recitals of poetry, and especially the attelane, a prank close enough to the Commedia public popular wanted above all the sensational: the staging became predominant with the development of the machinery. The theater, free, was accessible to all and was the only public place where women could be seen. On the other hand, traffic in corridors and galleries was designed in such a way that spectators of different social status did not mix. Today, the Antique Theater of Orange is a cultural venue where events such as theater, opera or concerts are offered. Its capacity is important with 9000 seats reserved for spectators.

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.

Le Trinkhall Museum, (anciennement Madmusée pour « Musée d'art différencié ») est un musée liégeois fondé en 1998 qui est situé dans le parc d'Avroy à Liège. Le musée conserve et expose des œuvres réalisées par des artistes porteurs d'un handicap mental, de maladie mentale ou de fragilité psychique, en contexte d'atelier. S'inscrivant à l'avant-scène du paysage culturel liégeois, il entend développer de nombreuses collaborations avec les différents acteurs de la vie artistique, sociale et culturelle, à Liège et bien au-delà des frontières de la ville. L'ouverture du Trinkhall est l'aboutissement d'un projet qui a mis plus de dix ans à se concrétiser. Il émane du Créahm qui, depuis quarante ans, défend dans une perspective qui reste profondément novatrice et engagée l'expression artistique des personnes porteuses d'un handicap mental.

Réalisé par le bureau d’architecture Beguin-Massart, le bâtiment, recouvert d’une résille opaline aux contours doucement arrondis, se dépose comme une lanterne au cœur de la ville. Il est l’aboutissement d’une réflexion où les architectes ont su rencontrer la poétique du lieu, son histoire, sa beauté, et toutes les exigences fonctionnelles d’un musée d’aujourd’hui. Avec plus de 600 m2 de surface d’exposition, un espace librairie, un centre de documentation, un espace de rencontre et d’activités pédagogiques et tous les locaux techniques nécessaires à la conservation des oeuvres, le Trinkhall s’inscrit dans une nouvelle dynamique. Son café-restaurant, ouvrant largement sa terrasse sur le parc d’Avroy, reste librement accessible au public et renforce la dimension d’échange et de sociabilité qui caractérise le lieu depuis le XIXe siècle.

The Trinkhall Museum, (formerly Madmusée) is a Liège museum founded in 1998 which is located in the Avroy park in Liège. The museum preserves and exhibits works by artists with mental disabilities, mental illness or psychic fragility, in the context of a workshop. Being at the forefront of the cultural landscape of Liège, it intends to develop numerous collaborations with the various actors of artistic, social and cultural life, in Liège and well beyond the borders of the city. The opening of Trinkhall is the culmination of a project that took more than ten years to materialize. It emanates from Créahm which, for forty years, defends in a perspective which remains deeply innovative and committed the artistic expression of people with a mental handicap.

Designed by the Beguin-Massart architectural firm, the building, covered with an opaline mesh with gently rounded contours, sits like a lantern in the heart of the city. It is the result of a reflection in which the architects have been able to meet the poetics of the place, its history, its beauty, and all the functional requirements of a museum today. With more than 600 m2 of exhibition space, a bookstore space, a documentation center, a meeting space and educational activities and all the technical rooms necessary for the conservation of works, the Trinkhall is part of a new dynamic . Its café-restaurant, widely opening its terrace onto Avroy Park, remains freely accessible to the public and reinforces the dimension of exchange and sociability that has characterized the place since the 19th century.

Le Théâtre Antique d'Orange est le théâtre romain

le mieux conservé en occident, classé au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. Edifié sous l'empereur Auguste au Ier siècle de notre ère. Son mur de scène (37 mètres de haut sur 103 mètres de long), est l'un des mieux conservés du monde romain, et place le monument parmi les plus grands témoignages de toute la Rome Antique. Le théâtre occupait une place centrale dans la cité et la vie de ses habitants qui y passaient une grande partie de leur temps libre. Pour le pouvoir romain, le théâtre était un moyen de diffusion de la culture latine auprès des populations colonisées mais aussi un prétexte pour les éloigner de toute préoccupation politique. Véritables divertissements, les spectacles duraient toute la journée. Les Romains, peu passionnés par les tragédies grecques dont s'inspiraient au début les auteurs latins, préféraient un répertoire plus léger : dell'Arte. Les mimes, pantomimes, récitals de poésie, et surtout l'attelane, farce assez proche de la Commedia public populaire voulait avant tout du sensationnel : la mise en scène devint donc prédominante avec le développement de la machinerie. Le théâtre, gratuit, était accessible à tous et était le seul endroit public où l'on pouvait côtoyer les femmes. En revanche, la circulation dans les couloirs et les galeries était conçue de telle sorte que les spectateurs de statut social différent ne se mélangent pas. Aujourd'hui, le Théatre Antique d'Orange est un lieu culturel où des événements tels que le théâtre, l'opéra ou des concerts sont proposés. Sa capacité d'accueil est importante avec 9000 places réservées aux spectateurs.

 

The Roman Theater of Orange is the Roman theater

the best preserved in the West, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built under the Emperor Augustus in the first century of our era. Its stage wall (37 meters high and 103 meters long), is one of the best preserved in the Roman world, and places the monument among the greatest testimonies of all the ancient Rome. The theater occupied a central place in the city and the life of its inhabitants, who spent a great deal of their free time there. For the Roman power, the theater was a means of spreading the Latin culture to the colonized populations but also a pretext to remove them from any political concern. True entertainment, the shows lasted all day. The Romans, unenthusiastic about the Greek tragedies that initially inspired Latin authors, preferred a lighter repertoire: dell'Arte. The mimes, pantomimes, recitals of poetry, and especially the attelane, a prank close enough to the Commedia public popular wanted above all the sensational: the staging became predominant with the development of the machinery. The theater, free, was accessible to all and was the only public place where women could be seen. On the other hand, traffic in corridors and galleries was designed in such a way that spectators of different social status did not mix. Today, the Antique Theater of Orange is a cultural venue where events such as theater, opera or concerts are offered. Its capacity is important with 9000 seats reserved for spectators.
