Èze (pronounced: [ɛːz]; Eza in Italian) is a commune in the Alpes-Maritimes department in southeastern France, not far from the city of Nice.

History

One of the ancient silver phialae found at Èze now in the British Museum

The area surrounding Èze was first populated around 2000 BC as a commune situated near Mount Bastide. The earliest occurrence of the name "Èze" can be found in the maritime books of Antonin as a bay called the St. Laurent of Èze. A hoard of ancient Greek silver phialae dating from the 3rd Century BC was found in Èze in the late nineteenth century and is now part of the British Museum's collection. The area was subsequently occupied by not only the Romans but also the Moors who held the area for approximately 80 years until they were driven out by William of Provence in 973.

By 1388 Èze fell under the jurisdiction of the House of Savoy, who built up the town as a fortified stronghold because of its proximity to Nice. The history of Èze became turbulent several times in the next few centuries as French and Turkish troops seized the village under orders from Hayreddin Barbarossa in 1543, and Louis XIV destroyed the walls surrounding the city in 1706 in the war of the Spanish succession. Finally in April 1860, Eze was designated as part of France by unanimous decision by the people of Eze.

Èze has been described as an “eagle's nest” because of its location overlooking a high cliff 427 metres (1,401 ft) above sea level on the French Mediterranean. It's so high that the light ochre church within (Notre Dame de l’Assomption built in 1764) can be seen from afar. An Egyptian cross inside the church suggests the village's ancient roots, when the Phoenicians erected a temple there to honour the goddess Isis.

Traditionally, the territory of the Principality of Monaco was considered to begin in the Èze village (outskirts of Nice), running along the Mediterranean coast to Menton, on the present Italian border.

Geography

The commune is located on French Rivera, extending from the Mediterranean Sea (Èze-sur-Mer) to the hilltop with a medieval village (Èze-Village). Saint-Laurent-d'Eze connects these villages.

Tourism

Èze, renowned tourist site on the French Riviera, is famous worldwide for the view of the sea from its hill top. Its Jardin botanique d'Èze is known for its collection of cacti and succulents, as well as its panoramic views. Walt Disney spent a significant amount of time in Èze.

An old engraving of Èze

The oldest building in the village is the Chapelle de la Sainte Croix and dates back to 1306. Members of the lay order of the White Penitents of Èze, in charge of giving assistance to plague victims, would hold their meetings there. The shape of the bell-turret is an indication that the village once belonged to the Republic of Genoa.

The small medieval village is famous for its beauty and charm. Its many shops, art galleries, hotels and restaurants attract a large number of tourists and honeymooners. As a result Èze has become dubbed by some a village-musée, a "museum village", as few residents of local origin live here. From Èze there are gorgeous views of the Mediterranean Sea.

The motto of the village is the phrase Isis Moriendo Renascor (meaning In death I am Reborn) and its emblem is a phoenix perched on a bone.

The local dialect (nearly extinct) is similar to the Monégasque language of the nearby Principality of Monaco, and is related to Ligurian but with some influences from the Occitan language.

Èze is one of thirteen villages grouped together by the Communauté d'agglomération de Nice-Côte d'Azur tourist department as the Route des Villages Perchés (Route of Perched Villages). The others are: Aspremont, Castagniers, Coaraze, Colomars, Duranus, Falicon, La Gaude, La Roquette, Levens, Saint-Blaise, Saint-Jeannet and Tourrette-Levens.

Astley Green colliery's No 1 shaft steam winding engine was installed in 1912 and was in use until the colliery closed in 1970. It is a four cylinder engine in twin tandem configuration, developing 3300 horsepower. It is believed to be the largest surviving colliery winding engine of its type in Europe.

The engine and engine house were saved from demolition when the colliery closed in 1970, and it has been restored by volunteers at the museum. The museum periodically runs the engine on compressed air.

These are some shots from a shoot I did for Driven-- a luxury car service in London. I was shooting with a photographer friend of mine all over the city.

The photos we took in Trinity Square (next to the Tower of London) were pretty interesting to capture as everyone who saw us shooting assumed there was someone famous in the car and stood around getting in our way, until we got into the cars ourselves. haha.

Goodtimes.

I test drove this at Available Car in Castle Donington, Leicestershire.

If you are going to have a Volvo estate, then why not have the most nutty one available right?

The XC70 is nutty. 210mm of ground clearance, big plain plastic bumpers, M+S tyres, 4 wheel drive... even the dog guard is standard equipment (its is on gas struts so you can fold it up into the headlining when not required).

However, not is all it seems with this XC70. Its missing an important element that turns a nutty car into a nutty car that doesn't really make sense.

Excerpt from here: www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-reviews/volvo/volvo-xc70-drive-...

"On looks alone, this Volvo XC70 may seem like old news, yet it puts a whole new twist on the urban off-roader theme. Why? Because, despite the jacked-up stance, it’s actually front-wheel drive.

What’s happened to the 4x4 version? Don’t panic, it’s still on sale. The front-wheel drive XC70 has been introduced along with a front-drive XC60, both cars being cheaper and less polluting than the 4x4 variants that sired them."

So, this one isn't for us with its missing its 4 wheel drive and in basic trim (for Volvo). A more sensible choice would be the plain old V70.

Boredom has once again driven me to shoot things around the house. This was developed in Lightroom using a preset from coffeeteaphotography.blogspot.com/ The texture is from Sterling Silverr.

This is the actual car driven by Roger Moore in the first season of TV series 'The Saint'. Eagle eyed viewers would have noticed that the car smoked on heavy acceleration during the show and this was traced during this latest rebuild to a scored cylinder bore thought to have been caused by a piston ring circlip fracturing. The original 6,000 P1800s were built in the UK by Jensen. On the 'TV and Film cars' stand. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2429701/1962-Volvo-drive...

This is the falling apart home of refugees who were driven into Pakistan about a decade ago. The neighbors are still occasionally in touch with them, and the family is trying to make it back to Afghanistan.

Note from the field: some Afghans I talked to are quietly preparing to flee to Pakistan. Elections are coming soon, violence is up, and confidence in the US is down.

The saying is 'the Americans have until the snow melts'. Obama became President in the winter, which bought us some confidence. But, fighting season in Afghanistan starts when the snow melts. It's melting, faster by the day.

There are still some 1.7 million Afghan refugees in in Pakistan. Recently the UN High Commission for Refugees signed an agreement to let them stay there until 2012.

Seen in Stamford Street, London SE1 today are two 8gp (girl power) pedi-buses.

Each person faces inwards whilst peddling away in order for the driver to steer the "bus". I'm not quite sure what the pink hair was all about....or the blow-up doll at the back !

Music and wine was flowing, but the overtaking cyclist had had enough.

Might need to enlarge the photo in order to understand what's going on.

When I first saw it, I knew this car was something extra. An original, progressive, bold sexy car in all respects, which shone like a meteor in the summer sky at this year's Dakar Rally. I studied its shapes and structure for several weeks before I dared to build it. Its curves are extremely graceful, which is always a big challenge for a Lego MOC. The final inspiration was his official prototype, which was presented in my beloved orange color. Today, the car drives behind the BRX car stable, but its development and construction was completed by the well-known British company Prodrive, which has a number of racing specials to its credit (one of them was my Citroen C3 WRC model).

Two of these cars set off for the Dakar Rally with great ambitions. The first was driven by Sebastian Loeb, who unfortunately did not finish the race and behind the wheel of the second car sat Nani Roma, who finished in a great 5th place. 🏆

Enjoy a racing special for endurance competitions called Hunter!

With this third model, I am closing this year's Dakar Series and I look forward to next year!

Foxfires on the strand

Davenport Beach, California Coast, October 2011. I'd say I'm sorry for posting a set of images so similar to these, but what good would that be?

Tide in or out, the sea rolls on shore hard from the south, around the taller ramparts and into this beautiful, tiered shelf of tide pools and stalwart stone. The stack is a shape-shifter, a spire, a needle from the cliff and a monolith from the shore. It's a bulwark upon which the breakers beat. It's a fang the earth has driven through the sea and brine runs down its flank like drool. The churn dredges sand up onto the shelf and surely makes life in the tide pool a dangerous, violent business. Yet there is life that tenaciously clings to the stone. A chaparral of muscles cover the surface and here and there a bit of green kelp burns upon ebony rock like foxfire upon the dead oak of some damp, darkly-canopied forest.

If I were to pick one bit of rocky shore as my favorite amongst all the craggy and beautiful California limbs, it would be this small beach in Davenport. The town is the definition of sleepy, a small gathering of crosswalks and one or two businesses supported by the local strawberry ranchers and traffic racing between Santa Cruz and Half Moon Bay.

I've learned that seascapes are a waiting game more so even than landscapes. Shutter speed is paramount to conveying drama, but timing is everything. One must wait for the right wave to come tumbling in to set the tide pool into an eddy, for the barrel of a cresting wave to have just the right shape. This can be a dangerous business when the camera is but a few inches from the ground and that next surge is moving in fast.

Everything is complex, fascinating and enlightening and we are all too often guilty of ignoring that little fact. A great photograph shows us what it is we refuse to see plainly with our own eyes.

27/10/2013. Ladies European Tour. Sanya Ladies Open, Yalong Bay Golf Club, Sanya, China. Lee-Anne Pace of South Africa is driven to the 18th green with the South African flag flying .

Welcome traveler, pull up a chair and let me poor you some meed. Where are you headed? Over the pass, you say? Hm. Now, a word of advice, if I may be so bold. Don't take the pass, go around the mountains to the north. I know, I know, it's longer but the pass be not safe, not anymore.

Wait, young sir, please sit. Spare an old man a few moments to ease his soul, for these are not idle ghost stories I tell. I have lost far too many a friend and kin in that pass. For that pass is not ruled by the good Count of this fair land, though he may claim tolls for it, nor by the king himself. No good sir, it's the goblins. They're the true masters of that place. And they claim their tolls in the price of blood from those who travel on it.

They're driven into battle against whomever takes that road by their chieftain. A crazed hobgoblin who craves above all else the sounds of slaughter.

They say he has the roar of a lion as he leaps from the mountain sides and that his cloak is the fur from a grizzly he wrestled to the death as a child. That his hair is stained red from blood...

It is also said that his sword and axe drink the life and soul of their victims and constantly drools blood down their blades, thirsting for more. Always thirsting.

So please young master, take the north road and be long of this world.

Carl Schulz Non Championship Points - Supposedly the 'rain delay' that Shaw asked the promoter for was the first such recorded for AAA sanctioned races.(Phil Harms Data) www.champcarstats.com/races/1933nc1.htm

Carl Schulz Leon Duray still owned this car with Shaw driving (Duray purchased this and another (FD) in 1929 after they were burned to a crisp at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

www.oldracingcars.com/indy/miller/1926-2/

Michael Ferner records the history for this car as follows -see oldracing cars. info "’2608’ the 1926 Hartz/Comer grey & blue #8 car Harry’s second car was driven by Fred Comer, Wade Morton and Hartz himself in 1926, then Hartz (grey & blue #1), Eddie Hearne, Leon Duray, Ira Vail and Dave Evans (#16) in 1927. Sold to Bill White in late ‘27 for Indy winner George Souders (blue & white #3), then Evans again and Jimmy Gleason in 1928. Allegedly burned at an Auto Show in Los Angeles in early 1929, but saved and sold to Leon Duray, it appears. !!! Dees disagrees here, and gives it back to White, but contemporary reports are quite clear in that Duray apparently bought both cars (this one and a front-drive) from the fire wreck! Dees (in the 2nd edition) also describes Duray’s car as a wide-frame ’122’, which it was clearly not! Anyway, it was driven by Tony Gulotta at Indy (violet & yellow #23), then apparently brought to Europe along with Duray’s two front-drives and perhaps used in record attempts at Monthéry, then back to the States where it was only sporadically used by Duray (#6?) until late summer in 1932, racing at Ascot with a ’220’ engine (black #64). Back to Europe in September for a fruitless attempt at Monza, then returned to Ascot competition (now black & white #28) with Wilbur Shaw, Sam Palmer, Mauri Rose and Al Gordon driving. Rechassised in early ‘33, it was #20 for a short time, then #3 for Shaw again and subsequently also in Midwestern events. Duray campaigned the car in the Midwest and East until 1935, with Mauri Rose, Tony Gulotta and possibly Babe Stapp driving (white & black #13), then sold it to Gil Pirrung. Billy Devore and Babe Stapp drove it for Pirrung (blue #12 & #6), who sold it to Joel Thorne a year or so later. Subsequent history unclear, but driven in dirt track events and at Pikes Peak (!) by Shaw, Russ Snowberger, possibly Floyd Davis and many others."
