Another one.. this was the others' mate. I actually blended two exposures for this - one for the bird and one for the water, to get the bird sharp and the water blurred more, otherwise I found the water too distracting. She's got some nest making material in her beak, for nest #2 it seemed!
See here
for the full series, including their idyllic little nest and waterfall home!

Eglise Saint Vincent - Saint Remy de Provence - Bouches du Rhône (France).
L'existence de l'église paroissiale de la ville est attestée dès 1122. L'édifice roman fut prolongé d'un vaste choeur gothique à l'occasion de l'édification de l'église en collégiale par le pape Jean XXII, en 1331. Le bâtiment fut reconstruit en 1821, le clocher datant du XVIème siècle fut conservé.
The existence of the parochial church of the city is attested from 1122. The Romanic building was prolonged by a vast Gothic chorus on the occasion of the construction of the church in collegiate church by pope Jean XXII, in 1331. The building was reconstructed in 1821, the bell tower dating the XVIth century was preserved.

L'église saint-Pierre.
À l’origine il y avait une chapelle romane qui fut détruite en 1288 pour l’édification de fortifications.
À la fin du XV e siècle, construction de la tour ouest de l’église culminant à 230 m. Elle permet d’y loger un guetteur.
En 1556, l’incendie qui éclata dans Tonnerre toucha l’église et celle-ci a dû être en partie reconstruite.
De la fin du XVI e au milieu du XVII e siècle, l’église a de nouveau été remaniée : mise en œuvre du voûtement, construction de chapelles, ornement d’une façade Renaissance.
Tonnerre (Yonne).
The Church of St. Peter.
Initially there was a Romanesque chapel which was destroyed in 1288 for the construction of fortifications.
At the end of the fifteenth century, construction of the west tower of the highest church in 230. It allows you to accommodate a lookout.
In 1556, a fire that broke out in the church and Thunder touched it had to be partly rebuilt.
From the late sixteenth to mid-seventeenth century, the church was again rebuilt: implementation of vaulting, building chapels, ornament of a Renaissance facade.

“[1664, March] 12.—Saturday...This night I promised to goe to Roberts Rosbothome’s house and did with Thomas Smith with me and was all night and they lent me Mr Gees booke concerninge prayr he was minister at eccleston[. A]nd upon the
15 day, tusday, I was reading in his booke and in consideration of the mans person and gravitie I was posesd with sadness and composed these verses:
Renowned Gee thou now enjoyst glory
Yet thy name shall remain earths lasting story.
In thought of thee ah I can sitt and weepe
That thou by death shouldst now be laid asleepe.
How lovely was thy life joyfull thy death;
Angels received thy soul att latest breath.
Ile say no more, but weepe, yet joy to see
Myself in happiness with blessed Gee.
Gee now in joy trium[p]hs, his sorrows past,
And he that place enjoyes that aye shall last.
Therefore, blest Gee, this once Ile bid farewell,
Hopeing ere longe to be there where thou dost dwell.
sic cantat Rogerus Lowe.
His name was Edward Gee minister of Eccleston Church[. H]e dyed about or in the year 1660 or 1659 or thereabouts but the church of God sustained great losse in his death and Mr Herles of Winwicke and Mr Johnsons of Hallsall who all flourished and dyed about this time foresaid in so much as it was the lamentation of Mr. Coleborne att Leigh exercises in his prayr that we now wanted our Herles our Gees and our Johnsons. This was upon the 25 decembr 1660. Old Mr. Woods joined with hime.”
[From “Diary of Roger Lowe of Ashton-in-Makerfield”, Wigan Archives ref. D/DZ A58]
The parentage of Edward Gee (1613-27 May 1660) is disputed, but he is thought to have been the son of the John (or George) Gee who served as curate of Newton-le-Willows from c.1617. Educated at Newton and subsequently at Oxford where he graduated BA in 1630 and was awarded the degree of MA in 1636, Gee junior followed his father into the ministry. In 1646 he was elected to membership of the 6th (Preston) classis of the Lancashire presbytery and obtained the living of Eccleston, near Chorley. A “strict and unyielding Presbyterian”, Gee did not shrink from voicing his strong religious and political opinions both from the pulpit and in a series of books and pamphlets published during the Commonwealth period. Disenchanted with the republic from c.1651, he was briefly detained by the authorities on suspicion of encouraging invasion and insurrection. The book to which Lowe refers - “A Treatise of Prayer and of Divine Providence as relating to it, With an Application of the General Doctrine Thereof Unto the Present Time, and State of Things in the Land, So Far as Prayer is Concerned in Them. Written for the Instruction, Admonition, and Comfort of Those that Give Themselves Unto Prayer, and Stand in Need of it in the Said Respects. By Edward Gee, Minister of the Gospel at Eccleston in Lancashire” - first appeared in 1653.*
Gee's contemporaries Charles Herle (c.1597-1659) and Thomas Johnson (?-1660) were, respectively, Rectors of Winwick (from 1626) and Halsall (in practice from 1645, presented formally in 1654).
Charles Herle's convictions led him to side with the Parliamentary and Presbyterian factions during the turbulent 1640s; he engaged in a public dispute with Charles I's chaplain and future Bishop of Chester Henry Ferne over the respective claims of King and Parliament and championed the Presbyterian cause as a member of the Westminster Assembly's grand committee.
Thomas Johnson was installed at Halsall following the ejection of Rector Peter Travers, the latter having been deemed “disaffected to the parliament and the proceedings thereof”. With Edward Gee, Thomas Johnson put his name to “A Solemn Exhortation made and published to the several Churches of Christ within this Province of Lancaster , for the excitation of all persons therein to the practise of their duties, requisite to the effectual carrying on of church-discipline; and in it the edification of our churches, and the reformation of religion”, issued by the Provincial Synod at Preston on 7 February 1649.** Thomas Johnson's formal presentation to the Halsall rectory on 14 August 1654 was certified by, amongst others, Edward Gee and Charles Herle.
Lowe's ability to rehearse sentiments expressed at the Christmas Day service at Leigh in1660 suggests that he had to hand a written record, now lost, of sermons etc. heard by him before 1663.

Le château de Chambord est un château français situé dans la commune de Chambord.
Construit au cœur du plus grand parc forestier clos d’Europe (environ 50 km2 ceint par un mur de 32 km de long), il s'agit du plus vaste des châteaux de la Loire. Il bénéficie d'un jardin d'agrément et d'un parc de chasse.
Le site a d'abord accueilli une motte féodale, ainsi que l'ancien château des comtes de Blois. L'origine du château actuel remonte au XVIe siècle et au règne du roi de France François Ier qui supervise son édification à partir de 1519.
fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Château_de_Chambord
The royal Château de Chambord at Chambord is one of the most recognizable châteaux in the world because of its very distinctive French Renaissance architecture which blends traditional French medieval forms with classical Renaissance structures. The building, which was never completed, was constructed by King Francis I of France.
Chambord is the largest château in the Loire Valley; it was built to serve as a hunting lodge for Francis I, who maintained his royal residences at the châteaux of Blois and Amboise.

I have not looked at my book for a week. Tonight I have been rereading much of it. I am trying to encourage myself to keep working on it and not lose faith. So I copied a few of my favorite bits to share with you. Bits that, should it ever be published, will not spoil your enjoyment of it. You know, if you happen to read it. (God, writing is such an expectant business!)
I've got the whole story to a place of quiet and am now asking my story where it is meant to go? The only thing I know for sure is that it isn't done yet. It hasn't finished where I thought it would finish. Now I'm afraid it may never finish. Not because I don't want to, or can't finish writing it. More that I'm not sure, I'm not clear, where it needs to go now. So I spent the evening reading passages and trying to talk to the spirit of the story to find out what I am supposed to do for it now? You think writers are the masters, and in some degree they are, but in others they are nothing more than sad musicians plucking on the notes of sheet music that has lived already a thousand years in the ether. I know that I will not allow my story to be without hope, because hope is the most elemental reason I am not dead already, but aside from having a slim limitation on my work, it is for the work to speak to me. I wait. I think this is not uncommon. However, I read it, and will continue to read it over and over until the solution, the ending, the denouement will arrive in my heart and ask to be transcribed. We are conduits, (writers), to the life all around us.
So here, my friends, are some little snippets for your enjoyment, edification, or derision: as you choose.
************
Yet, like the tiniest grain of wheat, there is nourishment in hope, however spare it may be. Someday there will be an answer to the winter hush of my spirit and my bones will heal. I will untie the effigies from their strings and I will lay them tenderly to rest in the soil of my own choosing, where those dead eyes cannot follow to spoil this gorgeous rest.
Then I will know my own name.
I will remove the tag from my toe.
Walk out of the morgue, into the light.
*****************************
It is not agreeable to be caught waiting out Armageddon in filthy panties no matter how many shotguns you have to rest on your knees.
*******************************
There they sit for what feels like a hundred years of bleeding; Isaac is cold in his undershirt, but he doesn't move because he would never leave a person to bleed to death. He doesn't question. He has no thoughts right now. Checks pulses, scans the Laundromat, sees that they are completely alone, and off in the distance, cutting the city fugue into ribbons of light is the sound of approaching mercy.
*******************************
Homeless people may not have walls to shut you out but you must treat them as though they do. The streets are their home and every time you walk outside, you walk through their rooms.
********************************
It came down to a night, a point of last light, an apex of anger, frustration, and the slurring of degraded expectations with cheap single malt that smells like smoky piss and lingers on the breath like road kill
********************************
A better more ironic weapon God could not devise than the body of a man...
********************************
Yet the cathedral is so beautiful and she believes it holds under its roof the perfect expression of human ardor, longing, hope, and despair. She believes it must be thick with prayer and there are few things more beautiful than the supplicant spirit of mankind.
*******************************
"Yes Stallone Pantone, we're alright. You smell so clean. Can I inhale you for a minute before I go?" she asked teasingly, yet secretly completely seriously.
******************************
She didn't speak because he stole her voice.
**********************************
It fed the rage; it was right that he should have the prey by the neck here and be able to strip it, gut it, eat it, lick it, and satisfy his musky hunger; the great open never-satisfied demanding hunger that ate away at his own flesh when he didn't feed it prey. Blood. Drugs. Violence. Virgins.
**********************
It was all a silent opera now.
***********************************
The more I reach out, the more I touch you, grab you, inhale you, the less of you there is and the hungrier I feel. Loneliness and hunger are the diseases of my spirit and there's no medicine to fix it, no food to fill it, no amount of love that will bring me into the circle of the living.
*********************
I have sat next to you when you dreamed of others. I have sat next to you when you said their names and I wanted to put my heart into you so that you would rise and take courage and reach again and find everything you ever wanted. I am peripheral. I wanted to be wanted like you wanted them.
******************************
I want to be your skin; holding all your scent in like the bark that protects the phloem and the xylem from marauders, from weather, from preachers scouring all that is luscious and living away from the pith of your heart.
*****************************
She looked at him with her sleepy eyes and there she was: eight years old, disheveled braids flying, pale Jane throwing punches.
*****************************
Violence loves itself. It loves to tangle with those people it has touched before.
*****************
I would drape myself funereally if I could know if he was coming for me. Not my love, but the animal. I would say my last rights, for no one else will know to do it, if I could only tell for sure that the sugar of summer was finally finished for the dry vermouth of fall.
*****************
While Isaac walked the couple of blocks to the Cafe des Croissants to meet a stranger named "Tim" who seemed to be Jane's watchdog friend, he wondered why he had agreed to come. What shade of fool was he to agree to meet a person who required him to bring picture ID, proof of address, and his worker's badge just to tell him if Jane had been run over by a Muni?
***************************
We are polite, we smile, we engage in small talk which you quickly observe that I'm shit at after I ask you if you've ever had jock itch. Even though I barely know you. And now you wonder if I have jock itch, which embarrasses you, which makes you wonder why you talked to me in the first place. You forgive me temporarily because I am so friendly and open and I am so obviously madly worried about having offended you and in your flusterment you find yourself engaging in more small talk, which can only end badly since I've had a lot of medical curiosity lately.
**************************
He had a shirt, underwear, and socks on without any pants. You need to just visualize that for a moment. The complete and utter wrongness of it makes me want to do some violence to a wall or a shoe. No, it's not just painful, it's sick! It's sicker than playing "Send In The Clowns" without giving a person warning. It's sicker than using the word "rump" as though it wasn't the worst word in the universe ever. It's almost as bad as ripping the heads off of kittens, because they weren't just ordinary socks. No, they were the worst socks that man has ever ill-designed and plagued the feet of men with: white tube socks!

Metz, France - St Stephen's Cathedral
Saint-Étienne de Metz (French for "Saint-Stephen of Metz"), also known as Metz Cathedral, is a historic Roman Catholic cathedral in Metz, capital of Lorraine, France. Saint-Étienne de Metz is the cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Metz and the seat of the Bishop of Metz, currently Pierre Raffin.The cathedral treasury exhibits the millennium rich collection of the Bishopric of Metz, including paraments and items used for the Eucharist.
Saint-Stephen of Metz has one of the highest naves in the world. The cathedral is nicknamed the Good Lord's Lantern (French: la Lanterne du Bon Dieu), displaying the largest expanse of stained glass in the world with 6,496 m2 (69,920 sq ft). Those stained glass windows include works by Gothic and Renaissance master glass makers Hermann von Münster, Theobald of Lixheim, and Valentin Bousch and romantic Charles-Laurent Maréchal, tachist Roger Bissière, cubist Jacques Villon, and modernist Marc Chagall.
Built between 1220 and 1552, it is the product of the unification of two distinct churches. With its 42 metre high vaults, it is one of the highest Gothic edifices in Europe. With its 6,500 m² of stained glass windows, the nickname “God’s lantern” is well merited. There are windows from the 13th to the 20th centuries by Hermann de Münster, Thiebault de Lixheim, Valentin Bousch, Jacques Villon and Marc Chagall. These masterpieces of the art of fire and light form a veritable encyclopaedia of the art of stained glass.
Architecture
Saint-Stephen Cathedral is a Rayonnant Gothic edifice built with the local yellow Jaumont limestone. Like in French Gothic architecture, the building is compact, with slight projection of the transepts and subsidiary chapels. However, it displays singular, distinctive characteristics in both its ground plan and architecture compared to most of the other cathedrals. Because of topography of Moselle valley in Metz, the common west-east axis of the ground plan could not be applied and the church is oriented north-northeast. Moreover, unlike the French and German Gothic cathedrals having three portals surmounted by a rose window and two large towers, Saint-Stephen of Metz has a single porch at its western facade. One enters laterally in the edifice by another portal placed at the south-western side of the narthex, declining the usual alignment of the entrance with the choir.
The nave is supported by flying buttresses and culminates at 41.41 metres (135.9 ft) high, making one of the highest naves in the world. The height of the nave is contrasted by the relatively low height of the aisles with 14.3 metres (47 ft) high, reinforcing the sensation of tallness of the nave. This feature permitted the architects to create large, tall expanses of stained glass. Through its history, Saint-Stephen Cathedral was subjected to architectural and ornamental modifications with successive additions of Neoclassical and Neogothic elements.
Construction history
The edification of Saint-Stephen of Metz took place on an Ancient site from the 5th century consecrated to Saint Stephen protomartyr. According to Gregory of Tours, the shrine of Saint Stephen was the sole structure spared during the sack of 451 by Attila's Huns. The construction of the Gothic cathedral began in 1220 within the walls of an Ottonian basilica dating from the 10th century. The integration into the cathedral's ground plan of a Gothic chapel from the 12th century at the western end resulted in the absence of a main western portal; the south-western porch of the cathedral being the entrance of the former chapel. The work was completed around 1520 and the new cathedral was consecrated on 11 April 1552.
In 1755, French architect Jacques-François Blondel was awarded by the Royal Academy of Architecture to built a Neoclassical portal at the West end of the cathedral. He disengaged the cathedral's facade by razing an adjacent cloister and three attached churches and achieved the westwork in 1764.
In 1877, the Saint-Stephen of Metz was heavily damaged after a conflagration due to fireworks. After this incident, it was decided the refurbishment of the cathedral and its adornments within a Neogothic style. The western facade was completely rebuilt between 1898 and 1903; the Blondel's portal was demolished and a new Neogothic portal was added.
The Barefoot Carmelitani friars acquired the land in 1646 and in 1660 began the edification of this church dedicated to Santa Maria di Nazareth, recovering the cult from an image of the Vergine transported here from the Old Lazzareto, once called of Saint Maria di Nazareth.
Project is by Baldassare Longhena, recognizable in its baroque language. The building came definitively consecrated in 1705.
The altars conserve numerous eighteenth-century paintings but the church is famous for its ceiling, entirely frescoed by Tiepolo and unfortunately damaged during the strafings. The rests of Trasporto della casa di Loreto (Transport of the house of Loreto) and other details survived of the ceiling are today kept at the Galleries of the Academy.
The church is also known Chiesa degli Scalzi.
Every year Buddhist community celebrates a festival known as the "Probarona Purnima" - also known as "Ashwini Purnima" - that signifies the end of three month long seclusion of monks inside their monasteries for self-edification and atonement of their defilement. "Purnima" - originated from a Sangskrit word which means Full Moon, that means this festival is obviously held when the full moon arises.
These boys here in this picture is holding up a large balloon, which is already been ignited with fire in its lower part - this fire creates smoke and eventually this smoke lets the balloon fly. The photo was captured just before the balloon letting away to fly in the dark sky.
Anyway the ignited balloons symbolizes lighting up the sky and throwing away the darkness of evil.

Le cimetière chinois de Nolette est un cimetière situé le territoire de la commune française de Noyelles-sur-Mer où sont inhumés les travailleurs civils chinois employés par l'armée britannique pendant la Première Guerre mondiale.
Il s'agit du plus grand cimetière chinois de France et d'Europe
Pendant la Première Guerre mondiale, Noyelles abrita une importante base arrière britannique dont un grand camp de coolies (travailleurs immigrés chinois). Ils furent recrutés par l'armée britannique entre 1917 et 1919 dans le cadre du corps de travailleurs chinois (en anglais, Chinese Labour Corps), pour des tâches de manutention à l'arrière du front mais certains connaitront les zones de combat.
Ils représentent l'une des premières immigrations chinoises en France. Ils avaient l'interdiction de se mêler à la population civile du lieu. Certains resteront en France après la Grande Guerre.

L'entrée du cimetière chinois de Nolette.
Ils étaient affectés à des tâches pénibles et dangereuses comme le terrassement de tranchées, le ramassage des soldats morts sur le champ de bataille, le déminage des terrains reconquis, la blanchisserie, les services de santé auprès des malades, en particulier ceux atteints de la grippe espagnole...
En 1921, le gouvernement britannique décida l'édification du cimetière chinois à Nolette. Le Major Truelove est chargé de sa réalisation sous l'autorité d'Edwin Lutyens.
Depuis 2002, le cimetière de Nolette est le lieu de célébration de la Fête de Qing Ming (Fête des Morts chinoise) en France organisée par le Conseil pour l'intégration des communautés d'origine chinoise en France.
On trouve dans le département de la Somme des tombes de coolies dans les cimetières d'Abbeville, Albert, Daours, Gézaincourt, Tincourt-Boucly et Villers-Carbonnel.
Propriété de l'État français et gérée par la Commonwealth War Graves Commission, la nécropole située près du hameau de Nolette dans la commune de Noyelles-sur-Mer a été inaugurée en 1921 par le Préfet de la Somme. 849 travailleurs chinois sont inhumés à Noyelles-sur-Mer. La plupart travaillait au camp chinois de l'armée britannique situé sur la commune entre 1917 et 1919.
Tombe de Yang Shiyue 楊十月 originaire du Shandong, mort le 12 janvier 19191.
Beaucoup sont morts d'une épidémie de choléra qui a sévi dans le camp, de la grippe espagnole en 1918-1919 ou de la tuberculose, voire tués dans les zones de combat.
Le site est caractérisée par le portail d'entrée, les inscriptions sur les tombes et les essences d'arbres (pins, cèdres...) qu'on ne rencontre pas dans les autres cimetières du Commonwealth ainsi que par l'absence de croix du Sacrifice et de pierre du Souvenir.
Les tombes de ce cimetière sont constituées de 849 stèles en marbre blanc, avec sur chacune d'elle gravée une inscription en anglais « Faithful unto Death » ou « Though dead he still liveth » ou encore « A good reputation endures for ever » ainsi que des idéogrammes chinois et parfois, très rarement, le nom en anglais ou le matricule du défunt.
Le porche monumental et le mur de l'entrée tiennent lieu de mémorial pour la quarantaine de Chinois morts sur terre ou sur mer sans tombes connues.
Des statues de lions offerts par la République populaire de Chine sont situées, non loin de la nécropole, à l'entrée de la rue qui mène au cimetière de Nolette

An image I snapped while cruising around Mare Island for a meeting with williepr08, Chip Shotz, and A.Grinberg, when not being stared at obsessively by unsavory groups in beat-up cars. When in doubt, throw the camera in the van and hit the gas!
Someone told me that this facility was originally used for nuclear energy related training. Sounds good. Seeing as how my friends and I stumbled upon (big mistake!) a nuclear missile silo not too far from this area (we were just going fishing---I promise!) in the 80's, during the peak of the Cold War, I can believe it. Thank you for looking!
Nothing Venture, Nothing Win
"Why sit we here until we die?" [2 Kings 7:3]
Dear reader, this little book was mainly intended for the edification of believers, but if you are yet unsaved, our heart yearns over you: and we would fain say a word which may be blessed to you. Open your Bible, and read the story of the lepers, and mark their position, which was much the same as yours. If you remain where you are you must perish; if you go to Jesus you can but die. “Nothing venture, nothing win,” is the old proverb, and in your case the venture is no great one. If you sit still in sullen despair, no one can pity you when your ruin comes; but if you die with mercy sought, if such a thing were possible, you would be the object of universal sympathy. None escape who refuse to look to Jesus; but you know that, at any rate, some are saved who believe in him, for certain of your own acquaintances have received mercy: then why not you? The Ninevites said, “Who can tell?” Act upon the same hope, and try the Lord’s mercy. To perish is so awful, that if there were but a straw to catch at, the instinct of self-preservation should lead you to stretch out your hand. We have thus been talking to you on your own unbelieving ground, we would now assure you, as from the Lord, that if you seek him he will be found of you. Jesus casts out none who come unto him. You shall not perish if you trust him; on the contrary, you shall find treasure far richer than the poor lepers gathered in Syria’s deserted camp. May the Holy Spirit embolden you to go at once, and you shall not believe in vain. When you are saved yourself, publish the good news to others. Hold not your peace; tell the King’s household first, and unite with them in fellowship; let the porter of the city, the minister, be informed of your discovery, and then proclaim the good news in every place. The Lord save you ere the sun goes down this day.

Cooper Union NYC - View of the new and modern building framing The Cooper Union College during the blue hour.
In contrast to the original building, 41 Cooper Square is of a modern, environmentally "green" design.
The original building was established in 1859. On February 27, 1860, in the Great Hall which is located in the basement, President Abraham Lincoln delivered his dramatic address about the spread of slavery.
The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, commonly known as Cooper Union is located in Cooper Square in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City.

- Cette tour est le vestige des remparts détruits sur ordre de Louis XIII lors du siège d’Alès, terminé par la signature de Paix d’Alès en 1629. Cette tour a été sauvée parce qu’elle comportait une horloge depuis 1559. Sa construction commencée en 1320 a duré 50 ans pour bâtir les 3 étages et la terrasse, avec des murs de 1,50 m d’épaisseur. Les créneaux actuels furent ajoutés au moment de l’édification du clocheton en 1701. Une méridienne illustrée d’un soleil et des signes du zodiaque, a été installée sous l’un des cadrans de l’horloge, certainement à la même époque.
La hauteur de la tour est de 22m pour une largeur de 8,40m. Elle est classée monument historique depuis 1978.
