Libellula depressa
It rained or drizzled all day which would have been quite depressing if this fiery guy hadn't stopped by! Scarlet tanagers winter as far south as Bolivia for the winter so it's no wonder they arrive to nest here later than most other birds.
* Bon c'est vrai, j'aurais pu inverser la photo et ainsi l'intituler "ascension", mais je n'ai pas eu le courage.... ,)

Libellula depressa (Linnaeus, 1758)
Hembra teneral.
Por estas fechas ya emprendían el primer vuelo en las montañas tarraconenses a 950 mts. de altitud. Este año todavía no podemos ir a su encuentro.
By this time they were already taking the first flight in the Tarragona mountains at 950 meters. altitude. This year we still cannot go to meet him.
À cette époque, ils prenaient déjà le premier vol dans les montagnes de Tarragone à 950 mètres. l'altitude. Cette année, nous ne pouvons toujours pas aller à sa rencontre.

I’ve no idea what this building is called or was used for. Nothing comes up on a google search. I can only assume it was something to do with the canal… maybe a pumping house of some description judging by the adjacent chimney. Even in it’s present condition I’m still sure it will outlive the Beetham Tower behind!
La libellula e il suo mondo.
Libellula depressa
La Libellula depressa (Libellula depressa Linnaeus, 1758) è un insetto dell’ordine degli Odonati appartenente alla famiglia Libellulidae.
Morning Glory flower/plant.
Just as its name indicates, the morning glory wakes each morning and opens its blossom to greet the world. As the day reaches its end and the sun sets, the flower slowly curls up and takes its rest – only for new blooms to open the next day.
But it turns out these gorgeous sun-seeking flowers are not only beautiful, but they’re also laden with meaning too!
The morning glory flower can have many meanings, but the most common include love, life, and death, or even love in vain.
Its ability to rise each morning and sleep each evening resembles human life.
It may seem like a depressing thought; the morning glory blooms each morning only to die each evening. But it’s about a lot more than that. The flower is resilient, able to grow in challenging situations and thrive each year. While they do indeed “die”, they rise again each morning – like clockwork – to signify not only death but the beauty of life.
Halfway done with 2020 and living in a Covid limbo...although it's been a challenge and down right depressing at times, we've been coping by getting lots of nature therapy whenever we can while exercising extreme caution and mornings like these definitely fill us with much needed joy and optimism for the future.

Riverview Hospital is a Canadian mental health facility located in Coquitlam, British Columbia. It operated under the governance of BC Mental Health & Addiction Services when it closed in July 2012.
In 1904 the provincial government purchased 1,000 acres (400 ha) in then-rural Coquitlam for the construction of Riverview Hospital.
Patients were originally housed in temporary buildings, and in 1913 the building that would eventually be called West Lawn began treating the 300 most seriously ill male patients. The building was originally constructed to hold 480 patients. By the end of the year it housed 919.

Today the building stands condemned and the site is often used for movie sets.
Thank-you for all the overwhelming support and many friendships. Wishing you all health during this difficult time.
Stay Healthy

It was a dark, wet and miserable day so I wanted to to make the best of it and tried to capture the rather depressive mood.

L’exploitation du sel est passée d’une production artisanale à une production semi-industrielle depuis environ 5 ans. 13 sociétés exploitent régulièrement le Lac dont quatre grandes sociétés qui s’accaparent 90 % de l’exploitation.
Ces sociétés disposent des moyens de production tels que des bulldozers, des camions, des hangars, des machines à coudre pour ensacher. L’évolution de la production de ces industries extractives a permis de créer environ 2000 emplois par an.
* le seul client important de Djibouti reste l’Ethiopie
* La tonne de sel (sous forme des sacs de 50 Kg) se vendait à 50 dollars en 1998. La concurrence et le manque d’organisation des sociétés ont fait chuter le prix actuellement à 24 dollars la tonne. Le sel djiboutien tel qu’il est n’est pas adapté à la consommation puisqu’il est récupéré sur la banquise qui n’est pas épargnée des déchets. En outre ce sel n’est pas iodé et il est mal conditionné, il est actuellement utilisé dans le domaine industriel. Les éthiopiens importent du sel alimentaire depuis d'autres pays
