I consider myself something of a dessert sophisticate (for lack of a better word), because my sweet tooth runs more toward the salty and savory. I was a chocolate-quality snob long before I even understood the concept, and have always veered toward a very narrow specification of texture and quality for dessertstuffs. So it has come as a shocking change of character for me that, in the last month or so, I have developed an insatiable desire for candy. CANDY. With all the specificity of a 7-year-old. I WANT CANDY. ALL THE TIME. ALL THE CANDY. GIMME GIMME GIMME.

 

So for our dessert this weekend I tried to tame the beast without succumbing to the candy aisle at the grocery store -- by making the candy bar tart from "Baked: Elements". This magnificent beast is a buttery cookie crumb crust, caramel and pecan layer, and a glaze of chocolate. It was truly exceptional, and actually scratched that candy itch. Now I have an insatiable desire for this tart.

Lake Eacham, in song above bower. Avibase considers this to be genus Ailuroedus

Este es considerado como uno de los lugares más fríos de El Salvador por encontrarse a una altura de unos 2,400 metros sobre el nivel del mar.

 

Su temperatura promedio es de 13℃, lo cual lo convierte también en un destino muy recomendado para realizar turismo rural y de montaña.

 

Los meses más fríos en Las Pilas son noviembre, diciembre y enero. En ocasiones este frío hace que se forme escarcha de hielo en los cultivos de la zona. En ocasiones las temperaturas llegan abajo de los cinco grados.

 

Los habitantes de Las Pilas, por lo general son de piel blanca y tienen mejillas rosadas debido al frío que soportan.

 

Se dedican especialmente a la agricultura y a cultivar algunas hortalizas como repollo y zanahorias y flores que luego son vendidas.

 

Cerca de este lugar también podrás encontrar el río Sumpul con poco caudal debido a que ésta es una cercana a su nacimiento, y el cual por cierto en esta zona sirve como frontera para dividir El Salvador con Honduras.

Iglesia de Santa Inés[editar]

 

Templo de Santa Inés.

Se encuentra al final de la calle 4 Norte, está dedicada a Santa Inés de Montepoliciano y concluyó su construcción en el año 1776. La iglesia en sus inicios dependía de un monasterio dominico frente a la zona de la Concordia. A partir de los años 70's, la Iglesia de Santa Inés cuenta con un albergue para niños y personas con discapacidad

 

El barrio adquiere su nombre gracias a un tipo de piedra presente en las faldas del cerro, conocida como "Xalnene". Esta piedra arenisca, de origen volcánico, era utilizada principalmente para la construcción. Gracias a esto se establecieron ladrilleas o "pedreras" y se dice que los dueños de éstas le regalaron a unos indios, que probablemente eran sus trabajadores, los terrenos ubicados entre el Barrio de Texcoco y El Calvario.

 

Su cercanía con el río San Francisco (ahora entubado) y sus "barreales" o "barriales" hicieron que con el tiempo, el barrio también fuera conocido como "El Arrabal de Xanenetla", pero el nombre oficial y actual de "Barrio de Xanenetla" es escrito a partir del año 1735.1

 

Dentro del barrio, se encuentra el "Campo Santo del Hospital San Pedro" o "Campo Santo de Xanenetla", un cementerio del año 1791, en donde se enterraban los cadáveres de los fallecidos del Hospital San Pedro, que actualmente es conocido como Cancha de San Pedro o Museo de Arte San Pedro. El camposanto dejó de funcionar en 1880 al inaugurarse el panteón municipa

 

El barrio gozó fama de peligroso hasta la década de los 80's y principios de los 90's. A raíz del crecimiento de la ciudad, en la década de los 90's se ampliaron los márgenes del barrio con fraccionamientos residenciales, construcción de casas y centros comerciales. En el año 2010, el proyecto Puebla Ciudad Mural creado por un grupo de jóvenes del llamado "Colectivo Tomate" planteó la pinta de 52 fachadas, en tres etapas, de las principales calles del barrio para detonar turísticamente el sitio. El proyecto finalizó el 11 de marzo de 2012 con la pinta de 55 murales

El legendario Monasterio de San Pedro de Arlanza está considerado como "Cuna de Castilla" y uno de los cenobios más impresionantes que tuvo la España condal. Al valor artístico e histórico del cenobio hay que añadir su soberbio emplazamiento en los rocosos y majestuosos cañones excavados en la roca por el río Arlanza, en plena Sierra de las Mamblas burgalesas rodeado de encinas y sabinas.

Pertenece al municipio de Hortigüela y se encuentra a mitad de camino entre esta localidad y la hermosa villa de Covarrubia, en Burgos.

Sin duda, el origen histórico de San Pedro de Arlanza hay que buscarlo en los numerosos eremitas que habitaban las cuevas de los cañones calizos del Arlanza y que, en un momento dado, abandonaron la vida eremítica para abrazar la cenobítica como monjes de un monasterio. El primer templo de este monasterio debió ser el de San Pelayo o San Pedro del Viejo que se encuentra parcialmente en ruinas en el promontorio que domina, no sólo el monasterio actual, sino una vasta extensión del valle del Arlanza. Este edificio tiene partes prerrománicas del siglo X que así lo parecen atestiguar.

Aunque se suele citar un documento por el que el mismísimo conde Fernán González fundó este monasterio en el año 912 al encontrarse con un grupo de eremitas cuando perseguía un jabalí, lo más probable es que la fundación se deba a nobles de Tierras de Lara allá a comienzos del siglo X. El propio conde Fernán González y su esposa Doña Sancha fueron enterrados en Arlanza en el siglo XII cuando sus cuerpos fueron trasladados desde Santa María de Lara donde reposaban desde su muerte. Tras la Desamortización de Mendizábal, el abandono y la progresiva ruina del monasterio obligaron a trasladar sus tumbas a la Colegiata de Covarrubias donde hoy se exponen junto a la cabecera de la iglesia.

El mayor prestigio y poder de este monasterio se vivió en los siglos XI y XII, decayendo en los dos posteriores. No obstante el monasterio llegó con vida al siglo XIX, momento en que los monjes fueron exclaustrados.

Debió existir un templo prerrománico en el solar del actual, y en el año 1080 se iniciaron nuevas obras, extremo que se conoce por una inscripción perdida que existía en el ábside lateral sur que rezaba así:

"Gobernando el abad Vicente, era 1119 (año 1081) hicieron esta obra Guillermo y su padre Osten"

Esta nueva construcción, ya del románico pleno, aprovecharía los muros laterales del templo prerrománico, pero rehaciendo la cabecera, al modo románico, así como el alzado interior. En el siglo XII debió construirse un claustro románico en el lado sur, hoy desaparecido, y las consiguientes dependencias claustrales, de la que queda -aunque bastante modificada- la sala capitular. En el siglo XIII se alzó parte de la torre actual, con fines bastante defensivos, dadas sus características estructurales.

Pero las principales transformaciones del Monasterio de San Pedro de Arlanza llegarían en los siglos XV, XVI y XVII. Para empezar, la iglesia románica recibió una cubierta tardogótica, obra de Simón de Colonia, recreciendo la cebecera y colocando pilares góticos en los muros laterales. También se llevó el refectorio a su emplazamiento actual en la panda oeste, abovedándolo con crucería compleja. De esta campaña sería también el cuerpo superior de la torre.

En el siglo XVII se sustituye el claustro románico por el actual herreriano obra de Pérez de Palacios. También se acomete, unas décadas después, el llamado Claustro Menor. Tras esta serie de construcciones y remodelaciones el complejo del Monasterio de San Pedro de Arlanza llegó al siglo XIX en buen estado y con vitalidad. Por desgracia, y como en tantos cenobios españoles, la ruina hizo presa él tras la Desamortización de Mendizábal. Además, numerosas obras de arte fueron vendidas, expoliadas o destruidas.

San Sperate. Via Sardegna.

Murale di G. Polo. E' quello che mi piace di più, ma non so se ha un titolo, il titolo che ho messo è una mia interpretazione...

 

Voi che vivete sicuri

Nelle vostre tiepide case,

Voi che trovate tornando a sera

Il cibo caldo e visi amici:

Considerate se questo è un uomo

Che lavora nel fango

Che non conosce pace

Che lotta per mezzo pane

Che muore per un sì o per un no.

Considerate se questa è una donna,

Senza capelli e senza nome

Senza più forza di ricordare

Vuoti gli occhi e freddo il grembo

Come una rana d'inverno.

Meditate che questo è stato:

Vi comando queste parole.

Scolpitele nel vostro cuore

Stando in casa andando per via,

Coricandovi alzandovi;

Ripetetelele ai vostri figli.

O vi si sfaccia la casa,

La malattia vi impedisca,

I vostri nati torcano il viso da voi.

 

(Primo Levi - Se questo è un uomo)

La iglesia de San Salvador de Cora, transcrito a veces erróneamente como Chora (en turco, Kariye Camii), está considerada como uno de los más bellos ejemplos de iglesia bizantina que pueda contemplarse en la actualidad. Tine su origen en un monasterio que se fundó en el siglo IV en una acrópolis en el lugar donde se encontraron las reliquias de San Babilas (obispo de Antioquía que murió martirizado durante la persecución de Decio) y 84 de sus discípulos. La iglesia del monasterio estaba consagrada a Cristo con el nombre de iglesia del Sagrado Salvador en el Campo. Cora se refiere a que estaba situada a extramuros de la muralla de Constantino (en el campo), cuando Teodosio extendió las murallas entre el 413-414, la iglesia quedó dentro y cercana a una de las puertas de la misma, pero siguió con el nombre de Cora.

Justiniano I empezó a reconstruir la iglesia alrededor del año 536 pero no pudo terminarse totalmente por un terremoto que se produjo el 6 de octubre de 557. El emperador ordenó entonces la construcción de un monasterio e iglesia de mayor tamaño, dedicando una de las tres capillas a María. En el siglo VIII, durante el período iconoclasta, sufrió grandes daños en las imágenes representadas. Sin embargo, la mayoría de lo que puede verse hoy día data de 1077-1081, cuando María Dukaina, suegra de Alejo I Komneno reconstruyó la iglesia de San Salvador de Cora en forma de cruz griega inscrita, un estilo aparecido en aquella época y que servirá posteriormente de modelo para las iglesias ortodoxas hasta el siglo XVIII.

El poderoso hombre de la corte de Andrónico II Paleólogo, Teodoro Metoquites, un intelectual de la época, añadió el exonártex y el paraclesion de la iglesia y dotó a San Salvador de Cora de mosaicos y frescos, estableciendo una historiografía cronológica religiosa. Esta impresionante decoración interior fue realizada entre 1315 y 1321. Los mosaicos son uno de los mejores ejemplos del Renacimiento Paleólogo. Los artistas siguen siendo desconocidos. En 1328 se produjo un golpe de estado en el que Andrónico II debe abdicar a favor de su nieto Andrónico III Paleólogo y Teodoro Metoquites es condenado al exilio en Didymoteicha en Tracia. Se las ingenia, dos años más tarde, para ser autorizado a volver a Constantinopla con la condición de que viviese como monje en el mismo monasterio de Cora, donde murió en 1332.

El edificio consta de tres partes principales: nártex, la nave o cuerpo principal de la iglesia y el paraclesion. El nártex a su vez se divide en dos partes: el nártex interior y el nártex exterior o exonártex que son contiguos. El nártex interior formaba parte de la construcción original. El templo tiene seis cúpulas, dos en el nártex interior, una en el paraclesion y tres en la nave. La cúpula más grande, de 7,7 m. de diámetro se encuentra en el centro de la nave. Los mosaicos y frescos son, por su calidad y cantidad, una de las obras pictóricas más importantes legadas por los artistas bizantinos. Se realizaron en la misma época de Giotto. Los graciosos movimientos de los personajes dan a sus representaciones una ligereza y elegancia incomparable, por otro lado subrayadas por una fresca coloración. Además la vasta gama de temas bíblicos dan una idea de la fuerza creadora de los maestros bizantinos a pesar del orden iconográfico impuesto. El tema principal de estos mosaicos, ricos en detalles, es la encarnación de Dios como hombre y la salvación aportada a los hombres. La resurrección de Cristo es el motivo central de los frescos del Paraclesion y viene a completar esta noción de salvación.

 

The is a photograph from a set of photographs of the 16th running of the Fields of Athenry 10KM took place on Tuesday, St. Stephen's Day, December 26th 2017 at 11:00 in Athenry, Co. Galway, Ireland. Just under 1,200 participants started at Athenry Railway station and finished the race today under the beautiful Medieval Arch in the town. The weather was almost perfect for road running. Conditions were very favourable with little or no breeze and cool crisp air. The winter sun also appeared.

 

This is one of the leading 10KM road races in Ireland. It would seem it has been around for much longer but the race in terms of history is sill rather young at its 16th year. The superb organisation, atmosphere, and great course gives it the characteristic of a race that is many years older. The credit for this goes to the wonderful athletics club in Athenry AC and the team of volunteers. The attention to every detail in the race which this year attracted over 1,200 participants means that the race has earned its stripes as one of the leading road races in Ireland. To attract such a big field on St. Stephen's day with so many Christmas festivities and other road race events jostling for attention is a serious achievement.

 

The race started at the Railway station and then took in a loop of the famous fields of Athenry where it turns left and begins it's return to the town, passing the soccer club, over the railway lines, and finishing under the medival arch in Athenry town for a fittingly atmospheric finish to the race. The route as it passes around the fields and outskirts of Athenry are wonderful country road running surroundings. Race HQ is in the Presentation College in Athenry. Post race showers, prize giving ceremony, and refreshments were provided in the College after the race.

  

We have a very extensive set of photographs from this year's event. The link to the full set of photographs on this Flickr photostream is here: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157691471650345.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?

 

As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:

 

     ►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera

     ►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set

     ►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone

     ►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!

  

You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.

 

Don't like your photograph here?

That's OK! We understand!

 

If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.

 

I want to tell people about these great photographs!

Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

The mountain gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei) is one of the two subspecies of the eastern gorilla. There are two populations. One is found in the Virunga volcanic mountains of Central Africa, within three National Parks: Mgahinga, in south-west Uganda; Volcanoes, in north-west Rwanda; and Virunga in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). It is listed as critically endangered by the IUCN. The other is found in Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Some primatologists consider the Bwindi population in Uganda may be a separate subspecies,[3] though no description has been finalized. As of September 2016, the estimated number of mountain gorillas remaining is about 880.[4]

 

Gorilla taxonomy

Mountain gorillas are descendants of ancestral monkeys and apes found in Africa and Arabia during the start of the Oligocene epoch (34-24 million years ago). The fossil record provides evidence of the hominoid primates (apes) found in east Africa about 22–32 million years ago. The fossil record of the area where mountain gorillas live is particularly poor and so its evolutionary history is not clear.[5] It was about 9 million years ago that the group of primates that were to evolve into gorillas split from their common ancestor with humans and chimps; this is when the genus Gorilla emerged. It is not certain what this early relative of the gorilla was, but it is traced back to the early ape Proconsul africanus.[6] Mountain gorillas have been isolated from eastern lowland gorillas for about 400,000 years and these two taxa separated from their western counterparts approximately 2 million years ago.[7] There has been considerable and as yet unresolved debate over the classification of mountain gorillas. The genus was first referenced as Troglodytes in 1847, but renamed to Gorilla in 1852. It was not until 1967 that the taxonomist Colin Groves proposed that all gorillas be regarded as one species (Gorilla gorilla) with three sub-species Gorilla gorilla gorilla (western lowland gorilla), Gorilla gorilla graueri (lowland gorillas found west of the Virungas) and Gorilla gorilla beringei (mountain gorillas including, Gorilla beringei found in the Virungas and Bwindi). In 2003 after a review they were divided into two species (Gorilla gorilla and Gorilla beringei) by The World Conservation Union (IUCN).[5]

 

Physical description

Silverback of Ntambara group, in typical resting attitude.

The fur of the mountain gorilla, often thicker and longer than that of other gorilla species, enables them to live in colder temperatures.[8] Gorillas can be identified by nose prints unique to each individual.[9] Males, at a mean weight of 195 kg (430 lb) upright standing height of 150 cm (59 in) usually weigh twice as much as the females, at a mean of 100 kg (220 lb) and a height of 130 cm (51 in).[10] This subspecies is on average the second largest species of primate; only the eastern lowland gorilla, the other subspecies of eastern gorilla, is larger.[citation needed] Adult males have more pronounced bony crests on the top and back of their skulls, giving their heads a more conical shape. These crests anchor the powerful temporalis muscles, which attach to the lower jaw (mandible). Adult females also have these crests, but they are less pronounced.[9] Like all gorillas they feature dark brown eyes framed by a black ring around the iris. Adult males are called silverbacks because a saddle of gray or silver-colored hair develops on their backs with age. The hair on their backs is shorter than on most other body parts, and their arm hair is especially long. Fully erect, males reach 1.9 m (6 ft 3 in) in height, with an arm span of 2.6 m (8 ft 6 in) and weigh 220 kg (490 lb).[11] The tallest silverback recorded was a 1.94 m (6 ft 4 in) with an arm span of 2.7 m (8 ft 10 in), a chest of 1.98 m (6 ft 6 in), and a weight of 219 kg (483 lb), shot in Alimbongo, northern Kivu in May 1938. There is an unconfirmed record of another individual, shot in 1932, that was 2.06 m (6 ft 9 in) and weighed 218.6 kg (482 lb).

The mountain gorilla is primarily terrestrial and quadrupedal. However, it will climb into fruiting trees if the branches can carry its weight, and it is capable of running bipedally up to 6 m (20 ft).[citation needed] Like all great apes other than humans, its arms are longer than its legs. It moves by knuckle-walking (like the common chimpanzee, but unlike the bonobo and both orangutan species), supporting its weight on the backs of its curved fingers rather than its palms.[citation needed]

The mountain gorilla is diurnal, most active between 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.[citation needed] Many of these hours are spent eating, as large quantities of food are needed to sustain its massive bulk. It forages in early morning, rests during the late morning and around midday, and in the afternoon it forages again before resting at night. Each gorilla builds a nest from surrounding vegetation to sleep in, constructing a new one every evening. Only infants sleep in the same nest as their mothers. They leave their sleeping sites when the sun rises at around 6 am, except when it is cold and overcast; then they often stay longer in their nests.[12]

 

Habitat and ecology

The mountain gorilla inhabits the Albertine Rift montane cloud forests and of the Virunga Volcanoes, ranging in altitude from 2,200–4,300 metres (7,200–14,100 ft). Most are found on the slopes of three of the dormant volcanoes: Karisimbi, Mikeno, and Visoke.[13] The vegetation is very dense at the bottom of the mountains, becoming more sparse at higher elevations, and the forests where the mountain gorilla lives are often cloudy, misty and cold.[14]

The mountain gorilla is primarily a herbivore; the majority of its diet is composed of the leaves, shoots and stems (85.8%) of 142 plant species. It also feeds on bark (6.9%), roots (3.3%), flowers (2.3%), and fruit (1.7%), as well as small invertebrates. (0.1%).[15] Adult males can eat up to 34 kilograms (75 lb) of vegetation a day, while a female can eat as much as 18 kilograms (40 lb).[citation needed]

The home range size (the area used by one group of gorillas during one year) is influenced by availability of food sources and usually includes several vegetation zones. George Schaller identified ten distinct zones, including: the bamboo forests at 2,200–2,800 metres (7,200–9,200 ft); the Hagenia forests at 2,800–3,400 metres (9,200–11,200 ft); and the giant senecio zone at 3,400–4,300 metres (11,200–14,100 ft).[12] The mountain gorilla spends most of its time in the Hagenia forests, where galium vines are found year-round. All parts of this vine are consumed: leaves, stems, flowers, and berries. It travels to the bamboo forests during the few months of the year fresh shoots are available, and it climbs into subalpine regions to eat the soft centers of giant senecio trees.[13]

 

Behaviour

Social structure

The mountain gorilla is highly social, and lives in relatively stable, cohesive groups held together by long-term bonds between adult males and females. Relationships among females are relatively weak.[16] These groups are nonterritorial; the silverback generally defends his group rather than his territory. In the Virunga mountain gorillas, the average length of tenure for a dominant silverback is 4.7 years.[17]

61% of groups are composed of one adult male and a number of females and 36% contain more than one adult male. The remaining gorillas are either lone males or exclusively male groups, usually made up of one mature male and a few younger males.[18] Group sizes vary from five to thirty, with an average of ten individuals. A typical group contains: one dominant silverback, who is the group's undisputed leader; another subordinate silverback (usually a younger brother, half-brother, or even an adult son of the dominant silverback); one or two blackbacks, who act as sentries; three to four sexually mature females, who are ordinarily bonded to the dominant silverback for life; and from three to six juveniles and infants.[19]

Most males, and about 60% of females, leave their natal group. Males leave when they are about 11 years old, and often the separation process is slow: they spend more and more time on the edge of the group until they leave altogether.[20] They may travel alone or with an all-male group for 2–5 years before they can attract females to join them and form a new group. Females typically emigrate when they are about 8 years old, either transferring directly to an established group or beginning a new one with a lone male. Females often transfer to a new group several times before they settle down with a certain silverback male.[21]

The dominant silverback generally determines the movements of the group, leading it to appropriate feeding sites throughout the year. He also mediates conflicts within the group and protects it from external threats.[14] When the group is attacked by humans, leopards, or other gorillas, the silverback will protect them even at the cost of his own life.[22] He is the center of attention during rest sessions, and young animals frequently stay close to him and include him in their games. If a mother dies or leaves the group, the silverback is usually the one who looks after her abandoned offspring, even allowing them to sleep in his nest.[23] Experienced silverbacks are capable of removing poachers' snares from the hands or feet of their group members.[24]

When the silverback dies or is killed by disease, accident, or poachers, the family group may be disrupted.[13] Unless there is an accepted male descendant capable of taking over his position, the group will either split up or adopt an unrelated male. When a new silverback joins the family group, he may kill all of the infants of the dead silverback.[25] Infanticide has not been observed in stable groups.

Analysis of mountain gorilla genomes by whole genome sequencing indicates that a recent decline in their population size has led to extensive inbreeding.[26] As an apparent result, individuals are typically homozygous for 34% of their genome sequence. Furthermore, homozygosity and the expression of deleterious recessive mutations as consequences of inbreeding have likely resulted in the purging of severely deleterious mutations from the population.

 

Aggression

Although strong and powerful, the mountain gorillas are generally gentle and very shy.[22] Severe aggression is rare in stable groups, but when two mountain gorilla groups meet, the two silverbacks can sometimes engage in a fight to the death, using their canines to cause deep, gaping injuries.[19] For this reason, conflicts are most often resolved by displays and other threat behaviors that are intended to intimidate without becoming physical. The ritualized charge display is unique to gorillas. The entire sequence has nine steps: (1) progressively quickening hooting, (2) symbolic feeding, (3) rising bipedally, (4) throwing vegetation, (5) chest-beating with cupped hands, (6) one leg kick, (7) sideways running four-legged, (8) slapping and tearing vegetation, and (9) thumping the ground with palms .[27] Jill Donisthorpe stated that a male charged at her twice. In both cases the gorilla turned away, when she stood her ground.

 

Volcanoes National Park (French: Parc National des Volcans) lies in northwestern Rwanda and borders Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park in Uganda. The national park is known as a haven for the mountain gorilla. It is home to five of the eight volcanoes of the Virunga Mountains (Karisimbi, Bisoke, Muhabura, Gahinga and Sabyinyo), which are covered in rainforest and bamboo. The park was the base for the zoologist Dian Fossey.

 

History

Children on a farm near Volcanoes National Park

The park was first gazetted in 1925, as a small area bounded by Karisimbi, Visoke and Mikeno, intended to protect the gorillas from poachers. It was the very first National Park to be created in Africa. Subsequently, in 1929, the borders of the park were extended further into Rwanda and into the Belgian Congo, to form the Albert National Park, a huge area of 8090 km2, run by the Belgian colonial authorities who were in charge of both colonies.[1] In 1958, 700 hectares of the park were cleared for a human settlement.[2]

After the Congo gained independence in 1960, the park was split into two, and upon Rwandan independence in 1962 the new government agreed to maintain the park as a conservation and tourist area, despite the fact that the new republic was already suffering from overpopulation problems. The park was halved in area in 1969.[citation needed] Between 1969 and 1973, 1050 hectares of the park were cleared to grow pyrethrum.[2]

The park later became the base for the American naturalist Dian Fossey to carry out her research into the gorillas. She arrived in 1967 and set up the Karisoke Research Centre between Karisimbi and Visoke. From then on she spent most of her time in the park, and is widely credited with saving the gorillas from extinction by bringing their plight to the attention of the international community. She was murdered by unknown assailants at her home in 1985, a crime often attributed to the poachers she had spent her life fighting against.[3] Fossey's life later was portrayed on the big screen in the film Gorillas in the Mist, named after her autobiography. She is buried in the park in a grave close to the research center, and amongst the gorillas which became her life.

The Volcanoes National Park became a battlefield during the Rwandan Civil War, with the park headquarters being attacked in 1992. The research centre was abandoned, and all tourist activities (including visiting the gorillas) were stopped. They did not resume again until 1999 when the area was deemed to be safe and under control. There have been occasional infiltrations by Rwandan rebels from the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda in subsequent years, but these are always stopped quickly by the Rwandan army and there is thought to be no threat to tourism in the park.

 

Flora

Vegetation varies considerably due to the large altitudinal range within the park. There is some lower montane forest (now mainly lost to agriculture). Between 2400 and 2500 m, there is Neoboutonia forest. From 2500 to 3200 m Arundinaria alpina (bamboo) forest occurs, covering about 30% of the park area. From 2600 to 3600 m, mainly on the more humid slopes in the south and west, is Hagenia-Hypericum forest, which covers about 30% of the park. This is one of the largest forests of Hagenia abyssinica. The vegetation from 3500 to 4200 m is characterised by Lobelia wollastonii, L. lanurensis, and Senecio erici-rosenii and covers about 25% of the park. From 4300 to 4500 m grassland occurs. Secondary thicket, meadows, marshes, swamps and small lakes also occur, but their total area is relatively small.

 

Fauna

The park is best known for the mountain gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei). Other mammals include: golden monkey (Cercopithecus mitis kandti), black-fronted duiker (Cephalophus niger), buffalo (Syncerus caffer), spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) and bushbuck (Tragelaphus scriptus). There are also reported to be some elephants in the park, though these are now very rare.[4] There are 178 recorded bird species, with at least 13 species and 16 subspecies endemic to the Virunga and Ruwenzori Mountains.[5]

 

Tourism in the park

The Rwanda Development Board (RDB) runs several activities for tourists, including:[6]

Gorilla visits - as of January 2015, there are ten habituated gorilla groups open to tourists, allowing for a total of 80 permits per day. Tourists report at the park head office by 7:00 for a pre-tracking briefing. Once tourists meet the gorillas they spend an hour with them.

Golden monkey visits.

Climbing of Karisimbi volcano - this is a two-day trek with overnight camping at an altitude of 3,800 m.

Climbing of Bisoke volcano - one day.

Tour of the lakes and caves.

Visiting the tomb of Dian Fossey.

Iby’Iwacu cultural village tour

The majority of revenue from tourism goes towards maintaining the park and conserving the wildlife. The remainder goes to the government and (around 10%)[citation needed] to local projects in the area to help local people benefit from the large revenue stream generated by the park.

Descripción

 

Descripción científica

 

Mide 16 cm. y pesa 31 grs. El pico es grueso con los rami de las mandíbulas inflados y plateados. La especie Ramphocelus passerinii difiere de R. costaricensis principalmente en el color de las hembras.

Es negro aterciopelado, excepto la parte baja de la espalda, la rabadilla y las coberteras infracaudales, que son escarlata brillante (ligeramente más anaranjadas en R. costaricensis ). El iris es de castaño a rojo oscuro; el pico es plateado con los tomios y la punta negros, y las patas son negruzcas.

La hembra muestra la cabeza gris parduzca y la región superior oliva ocráceo, con la rabadilla más pálida y brillante. Las alas y la cola son fuscas y la garganta es ante grisáceo. El resto de la parte inferior es oliva ocráceo, más brillante en el pecho. El pico es a menudo gris más opaco. La hembra de R. costaricensis es parecida, pero con la parte inferior más ocrácea y una faja ancha anaranjada oscura a través del pecho. La rabadilla y las coberteras supracaudales son de color anaranjado ocráceo (las hembras en la época de cría cambian considerablemente el color del pecho y la rabadilla), y la espalda presenta un tinte ocráceo.

Los individuos juveniles son similares a la hembra adulta (R. costaricensis ), pero con el pecho menos anaranjado.

Los machos inmaduros con frecuencia presentan plumas rojas y negras dispersas, con una mezcla negra y oliva en las alas y la cola, y adquieren el plumaje de adulto en forma gradual, aproximadamente a lo largo de los primeros seis meses.

This is a photograph from the finish of second annual running of the Renault Mullingar Half Marathon which was held on Thursday 17th March 2016 St. Patrick's Day Lá Fhéile Pádraig in Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland at 10:30. This photograph was taken in Mullingar Town Park at the 21KM mark approaching the finish. Following on from the incredible success of the inagural year of the race this year the total numbers participating rose from just under 600 in 2015 to over 900 this year. As was the case last year the nominated charity was Childline. The roots of the success of the event last year was the perfect running weather, excellent organisation and a very flat and fast route. All of these characteristics were repeated this year. Incredibly the weather was almost a carbon copy of last year - cool, clear, still fresh Spring weather presenting runners with little or no wind. Participants traveled from all over Ireland with a very large participation from runners around Mullingar and the midlands. The race has an AAI permit. The race's early start time was to facilitate the annual St. Patrick's Day parade which brings a large number of local visitors to the town on an annual basis. Parking is free in Mullingar town for the entire day.

 

The race began on Pearse Street/Austin Friar's Street in the town and proceeds North East out of the town to the N52 Delvin/Dundalk road towards Lough Sheever. The course then follows beautiful rural country roads out to The Downs at the M4. The only hill or rise on the course occurs here at about 7 miles when runners cross the M4 at Junction 14 Thomas Flynn and Sons. The race then joins the now local access route of the old N4 road and then joins the Royal Canal at Great Down. The remainder of the race follows the Royal Canal back westward to Mullingar town. The towpath on the Canal is perfectly flat and in excellent condition. Runners will notice how the level of the canal changes dramatically along the route - at points the canal is level with the towpath. In other places the canal is at least 3 meters lower than the canal path. However the path is perfectly flat and firm the whole way. The course then leaves the Royal Canal at the Ardmore Road/Millmount area of the town and finishes in the Mullingar Town Park on Austin Friar's Street beside the Annebrook Hotel which is the Race Headquarters. The park provides a very nice setting for the finish of the race and runners and their families can mix and congregate around the finish area and the hotel.

Timing and event organisation was provided by Irish company MyRunResults. You can find all of the results of the race on their website at www.myrunresults.com

Let's get a bit technical: We use Creative Commons Licensing for these photographs

We use the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License for all our photographs here in this photograph set. What does this mean in reality?

The explaination is very simple.

Attribution- anyone using our photographs gives us an appropriate credit for it. This ensures that people aren't taking our photographs and passing them off as their own. This usually just mean putting a link to our photographs somewhere on your website, blog, or Facebook where other people can see it.

ShareAlike – anyone can use these photographs, and make changes if they like, or incorporate them into a bigger project, but they must make those changes available back to the community under the same terms.

 

Above all what Creative Commons aims to do is to encourage creative sharing. See some examples of Creative Commons photographs on Flickr: www.flickr.com/creativecommons/

 

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?

 

As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:

 

     ►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera

     ►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set

     ►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone

     ►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!

  

You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.

 

Don't like your photograph here?

That's OK! We understand!

 

If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.

 

I want to tell people about these great photographs!

Considerado como el fringílido más difícil de ver y de fotografiar también es el más bello. Es una especie que tiene un acusado dimorfismo sexual (distinto color los machos y hembras), siendo la coloración del macho mas atractiva, al ser de colores más vivos en el macho y más apagados en la hembra, aun cuando en uno y otro sexo dominan los colores tostados y azulados, aunque el rasgo más característico de tan singular ave es su fuerte y poderoso pico con el que puede llegar a partir el hueso de una cereza.

Voyage Guyane octobre 2022

 

L'Hirondelle chalybée Progne chalybea est présente toute l'année en Guyane mais leur population augmente considérablement pendant l'hiver austral.

 

Les Hirondelles chalybées fréquentent les régions basses et les eaux dégagées, les marécages et les rivières, les larges trouées et les clairières des forêts.

On les trouve également sur les crêtes basses couvertes de pins, dans les zones boisées de plaine, dans les mangroves côtières, les savanes. On peut souvent les observer dans les villes et dans les villages.

 

Les Hirondelles chalybées planent plus de la moitié de leur temps quand elles sont en vol. Elles alternent les glissades avec de rapides battements quand elles chassent les insectes. Lorsqu'elles recherchent leur nourriture, elles évoluent à une hauteur moyenne au-dessus des prairies, de la végétation basse ou des étendues d'eau. On les trouve aussi parfois à proximité des arbres. Occasionnellement, quand les ressources sont abondantes, elles prospectent également à terre.

Les Hirondelles chalybées ont un comportement territorial mais elles ne défendent qu'une petite zone à proximité du nid.

 

Les combats entre les titulaires du territoire et les intrus sont assez fréquents. Ces oiseaux nichent en couples isolés ou en colonies , selon la disponibilité des sites.

 

Les Hirondelles chalybées sont des oiseaux presque exclusivement insectivores. Le menu est très variable selon les régions.

 

L'Hirondelle chalybée est plutôt commune sur l'ensemble de son aire de distribution mais elle peut être locale ou absente de certaines zones de forêts ou d'habitats qui semblent pourtant favorables.
