Green Canyon
is a real paradise in a nature reserve, located in the Taurus Mountains.
It stretches for 14 kilometers and is part of a huge reservoir, formed as a result of the construction of the dam of the hydroelectric power station “Oimapinar” and impressive with its beauty.
False Creek
Vancouver
British Columbia,
Canada
False Creek is a short inlet in the heart of Vancouver. It separates downtown from the rest of the city. It was named by George Henry Richards during his Hydrographic survey of 1856-63. George Richards named False Creek during his survey of the coast in the mid-19th century. While traveling along the south side of the Burrard Inlet, he thought he was traversing a creek; upon discovering his error, he gave the waterway its modern name. Wikipedia
Burrard Bridge (Background) Vancouver, BC CA
Opened: July 1st, 1932
The Burrard Bridge (also referred to as the Burrard Street Bridge) is a five-lane, Art Deco style, steel truss bridge constructed in 1930-1932 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The high, five part bridge on four piers spans False Creek, connecting downtown Vancouver with Kitsilano via connections to Burrard Street on both ends. It is one of three bridges crossing False Creek.
The architect of the Burrard Bridge was George Lister Thornton Sharp, the engineer John R. Grant. The bridge's two close approach spans are Warren trusses placed below deck level, while its central span is a Pratt truss placed above deck level to allow greater clearance height for ships passing underneath. The central truss is hidden when crossing the bridge in either direction by vertical extensions of the bridge's masonry piers into imposing concrete towers, connected by overhead galleries, which are embellished with architectural and sculptural details that create a torch-like entrance of pylons. Busts of Captain George Vancouver and Sir Harry Burrard-Neale in ship prows jut from the bridge’s superstructure (a V under Vancouver’s bust, a B under Burrard’s).

Mariupol is still under siege with mass graves being discovered.
Our newest member of the "Breakfast Club" looks so pleased with his discovery. Only weeks old this young Robin has watched his Mother and Father fly to feed in our garden but he's never had the courage to join them until today and he proudly shows it to his Father.
The oldest part of the church is Anglo-Saxon, stone built in the 9th century, replacing an older wood and mud building. The nave was without aisles and two of its original windows are preserved in the Anglo-Saxon walling at the west end of the nave. These were unglazed and were closed in bad weather by wooden shutters wedged into a rebate cut into the outer edge of the window. High up in the north wall of the nave are three Anglo-Saxon circular windows, probably the upper storey. The ring of holes drilled round them held wattle rods used in the construction of the windows.
Aisles were first added in the 12th century. On each side of the nave two low arched openings pierced through the existing walls gave access to the aisles. These openings were swept away when the present arcade was put in in 1812, but the Norman angle-shafts to the responds can be seen in the wall at each end of the arcade. In the 15th century wider aisles were built, the Norman south doorway moved out to its present position and a porch was built. At the east end of each aisle is a squint giving a view of the altar. One of these is a very rare squint passage which, prior to the installation of choir pews, would have allowed access to the altar. In the North aisle the west wall contains a 13th century lancet window. The south wall of this aisle was at first the outside wall of the church and the rough area of plaster above the Anglo-Saxon window is the original exterior plaster of the Anglo-Saxon church. The wooden box chest is dated 1634. There are some medieval tiles (13th-14th century) on the floor near it and also a few in the south aisle.
The wooden balcony in the nave is the 15th century rood loft, one of the very few which have survived. When removed, probably early in the reign of Elizabeth I, it was carefully hidden behind a lath and plaster covering against the east wall of the nave, discovered there in 1812 and since repainted. The wooden screen below the loft is Victorian.
The tower is 15th century. On its floor stands the Norman font (early 12th century). The Font Figure has long been the subject of speculation and debate. However, recent research identifies the carving as being that of St Michael, on an original Saxon font, over-cut by Norman carvings and 16th century desecration. St Michael is also depicted on the font at Winterbourne Monkton, but the Avebury font carving is far earlier than that of Winterbourne Monkton and the saint is depicted as holding a crozier- not a symbol of Episcopal power but rather cosmic, supernatural power. The carvings show two serpents with twisted tails, their heads turned towards the figure of a bishop or Archangel Michael holding a crozier; popular pictures in the middle-ages showed Christ trampling on the dragons of evil and sin. It is also worth noting that the tree, carved in one piece, 12 pillars of wood/ tree trunks circling the font contains a wonderful array of birds.
The last few weeks, we've seen Screech owls and one Barred owl in our yard. I think it's only natural that when cutting some shallots, I discovered someone looking at me. "Whooo?" you ask. Guess who.
Inauguré en 1998, l'Hemisfèric fut le premier bâtiment de la Cité des Arts et des Sciences à ouvrir ses portes au public. C'est un bâtiment spectaculaire conçu par Santiago Calatrava, qui a une couverture ovoïde de plus de 100 mètres de longueur, qui abrite à l'intérieur de la grande sphère qui est la salle de projection.
C'est la plus grande salle en Espagne qui abrite trois systèmes de projection sur un écran concave de 900 mètres carrés:
- Cinéma grand format, Dôme IMAX.
- Cinéma numérique 3D. Mesures de l'écran 3D, rectangle d'environ 16x8 mètres.
- Projections numériques. Représentations astronomiques et spectacles de divertissement.

As part of Mizuki's training, we visited the Onepoto Domain. It was her first encounter with ducks, gulls, eels and pigeons. While overwhelmed at first, she quickly settled and decided watching ducks was a bit of fun.
Mikuki at 16 weeks.

Quando i giorni di una vacanza iniziano ad accorciarsi verso la fine, la malinconia prende spazio.
E proprio durante quella transizione ho fatto questi ultimi scatti in un luogo che, a prescindere dalle condizioni meteo, ti mette di fronte a dei contrasti di bellezza e colori che raramente si dimenticheranno.
The little girl, unaware of what she was made of, sits down almost defeated by the dissymmetry of faith.
Love: to discover there's at least one other real person on planet Earth.
Loss: to discover that the aliens can look just like you.
