La Bergeronnette grise se nourrit de nombreux invertébrés aquatiques et terrestres. Elle capture des insectes sur le sol après une courte poursuite, mais aussi en volant. Elle poursuit sa proie avec un vol ondulant rapide, ou en voletant brièvement avant de la capturer. Sur le sol, elle chasse en marchant, en exploitant toutes sortes de surfaces depuis les routes jusqu'aux toits des maisons et autres endroits découverts.
Elle peut capturer des proies en courant et en donnant un coup de bec pour la saisir. Il lui arrive aussi de sauter en l'air pour happer un insecte volant .
Mais cet oiseau aquatique chasse aussi dans les eaux peu profondes où elle trouve des invertébrés à la surface ou dans la vase. Elle voltige au-dessus de l'eau ou de la végétation.
Sur les côtes océaniques, elle fouille au milieu des algues le long de la limite des marées. Quand elle se nourrit dans les champs cultivés, elle suit souvent les charrues.
Image prise depuis la tente affût et dans un milieu naturel .

The Gray Wagtail feeds on numerous aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates. It captures insects on the ground after a short chase, but also while flying. It pursues its prey with rapid undulating flight, or hovering briefly before capturing it. On the ground, it hunts by walking, exploiting all kinds of surfaces from roads to roofs of houses and other open places.
It can capture prey by running and pecking to grab it. It also happens to jump in the air to grab a flying insect.
But this aquatic bird also hunts in shallow water where it finds invertebrates on the surface or in the mud. It hovers above water or vegetation.
On ocean coasts, she digs among the algae along the tidal line. When foraging in cultivated fields, it often follows the plows.

"The political decision-makers who (will) meet at COP26 in Glasgow are urgently summoned to provide effective responses to the present ecological crisis and in this way to offer concrete hope to future generations...
Moments of difficulty like these also present opportunities, opportunities that we must not waste. We can confront these crises by retreating into isolationism, protectionism and exploitation. Or we can see in them a real chance for change, a genuine moment of conversion, and not simply in a spiritual sense."
(Pope Francis)
When coming to think about it, it is much a bitter-sweet situation common to all developing countries... Yes, there may well be exploitation there. Yet most people don't have much choice there, do they? They have their children to feed and parents to support: they are just struggling for survival. Given the modern way of consumption with all the promotions & impetus given to consumption, who is going to make the huge amount of commodities for them which would inevitably bring about pollution ? How many white collars --leave alone the tertiary section of the economy -- elsewhere or anywhere for that matter would prefer to go back to the factories ( or even the farmlands ), even if they are paid more which is obviously not quite the case?
Despite having Christmas on my own I had a fantastic day. An early morning zoom meeting watching my daughter and granddaughters opening presents, followed by the friendship of neighbours, then a fantastic muddy mountain bike ride to the coast, it felt wonderful to get some hard exercise . then another zoom meeting with my daughters, and lots of cooking to show my wonderful Italian friend Maura a traditional British Christmas dinner for our late night FaceTime Christmas special. Finally some dancing to Toots and The Maytals in a kilt :))))) Pressure Drop is by Toots and the Maytals. Sadly Toots Hibbert died to Covid last year, so sad, he was probably the most uplifting person I've ever seen perform at a gig. Pressure drop too after all my cooking exploits, just need to work out how to eat all this food :)))
Great wealth often comes from exploitation, child labor, weapons and drug dealing. Not always but often ...

DON JUAN DE NARBONA 1732
It was declared a National Historic monument.
It was a property of Juan Narbona who exploited it like limekiln.
In the year 1738 there was constructed an oratory and a chapel that were the only ones between Montevideo and Villa Soriano
The Estancia de Narbona, (Narbona’s Farm), built by Don Juan de Narbona in 1732, is an archeological relic. Its Chapel and Oratory were the only ones that existed at those times between Montevideo and Villa Soriano. They were related to the Camacho family, and they are near the Camacho Bridge, surrounded by a beautiful park.

Ce qui explose, quand explosent les censures imposées par les dirigeants, c'est un ordre moral fondé sur l'exploitation de tous. La famille, la virilité guerrière, la pudeur, toutes les valeurs traditionnelles visent à assigner chaque sexe à son rôle. Les hommes, en cadavres gratuits pour l'État, les femmes, en esclaves des hommes. Au final, tous asservis, nos sexualités confisquées, fliquées, normées. Il y a toujours une classe sociale qui a intérêt à ce que les choses restent comme elles sont, et qui ne dit pas la vérité sur ces motivations profondes.

Успенский собор справа и Благовещенский собор слева....Успенский собор сейчас является главным храмом Московского Кремля, а в XV-XIX веках он был главным православным храмом Русского государства. Здесь венчали на царство всех русских царей. Здесь проходили бракосочетания и крещения. Здесь молились перед военным походом. Здесь избирали митрополитов и патриархов и здесь же их хоронили..Благовещенский собор («соборная церковь Благовещения Пресвятой Богородицы, что у Великого Государя вверху» или «на сенях») — православный храм в Москве, расположенный на Соборной площади Московского Кремля. Освящён в честь Благовещения Пресвятой Богородицы, являлся первым домовым храмом московских великих князей и царей XVI века и первого царя Михаила Фёдоровича до времени постройки Верхоспасского собора....Сияют золотые купола,
Венчая храмов возвеличенные лики,
И отражаются в них годы и века,
Истории сюжеты многоликой.
Горят златые купола,
Отбрасывая солнечные блики,
Отображая словно в зеркалах,
Суровую судьбу страны великой.
Нелёгкую историю славян,
Их витязей на поле брани алые туники,
Что насмерть бились родину храня,
Обороняя Русь от посягательств степи дикой.
От полчищ иноземных басурман,
С мечом пришедших на бескрайние просторы,
И прочих изворотливых тиран,
Творящих разоренье и раздоры.
Но не исчезла и не растворилась Русь
В пределах бесконечных мирозданья,
И сохранила память на века
О подвигах великих и завоеваньях.
И не потухли золотые купола,
Не стёрлись храмов возвеличенные лики,
И отражается в них словно в зеркалах
Суровая история страны великой.
И незачем хвалить и так великую страну,
Она сама заявит о себе как надо,
Но забывать историю не стоит никому,
Да и мечи из ножен тоже доставать не надо.

Assumption Cathedral on the right and Annunciation Cathedral on the left....The Assumption Cathedral is now the main temple of the Moscow Kremlin, and in the XV-XIX centuries it was the main Orthodox church of the Russian state. All Russian tsars were crowned here. Weddings and baptisms took place here. They prayed here before the military campaign. Metropolitans and patriarchs were elected here and buried here.....The Annunciation Cathedral ("the Cathedral Church of the Annunciation of the Most Holy Theotokos that the Great Sovereign has above" or "on the porch") is an Orthodox church in Moscow, located on the Cathedral Square of the Moscow Kremlin. Consecrated in honor of the Annunciation of the Most Holy Theotokos, it was the first house church of the Moscow grand dukes and tsars of the XVI century and the first tsar Mikhail Fedorovich before the construction of the Verkhospassky Cathedral......Golden domes shine,
Crowning temples exalted faces,
And years and centuries are reflected in them,
The stories are many-sided.
Golden domes are burning,
Casting off the sun 's glare,
Displaying as if in mirrors,
The harsh fate of a great country.
The difficult history of the Slavs,
Their knights on the battlefield scarlet tunics,
That they fought to the death keeping the motherland,
Defending Russia from the encroachments of the wild steppe.
From the hordes of foreign basurman,
With the sword of those who came to the boundless expanses,
And other quirky tyrants,
Creating ruin and strife.
But Russia did not disappear and did not dissolve
Within the infinite universe,
And preserved the memory for centuries
About the exploits of the great and conquests.
And the golden domes did not go out,
The exalted faces of the temples have not been erased,
And reflected in them as if in mirrors
The harsh history of a great country.
And there is no need to praise an already great country,
She will declare herself properly,
But no one should forget history,
And you don't need to take swords out of their scabbards either.

Sentier des ocres - Roussillon (84)
Avec l'exploitation de l'ocre la main de l'homme a transformé le paysage Roussillonnais, les éléments naturels (l'eau, le vent, les pluies) poursuivent le travail des ocriers avec l'érosion mais, le résultat est tout simplement splendide (la « chaussée des géants », les « cheminées de fées » et le « val des fées »).
On ne se lasse pas d'admirer ces falaises couleur or et sang.
Comment faire de deux personnes une multitude ?
Réponse : demandez au Foutographe, il vous trouvera un reflet à exploiter... :-)
Taken at animal sanctuary domovprozvirata.cz/ where two ladies decided to save lives of those most exploited sentient beings - farm animals, as we often label them.
Once we take time and effort to look behind that label, in their eyes and posture we'll recognize the same emotions we often connect only with humans: joy, fear, happiness, sadness...
Ancienne mine de plomb de Sainte-Marguerite-Lafigère.
Ce gisement de plomb se trouve à l'est de Villefort, sur les rives escarpées du Chassezac, qui sépare le district en deux sites distincts :
la mine des Essarts (ou Issarts) rive droite, côté Gard,
la mine de la Rouvière rive gauche, côté Ardèche.
Ces deux sites ont exploité, en fait, un seul et même filon orienté Nord-Sud, encaissé dans les schistes à séricite au sud et dans un granite porphyroïde au nord. Ce filon à pendage subvertical possède une puissance moyenne de ~0,5 m, avec des passées jusqu'à 2 m. Son remplissage se compose de quartz et de barytine en association avec des sulfures (galène, sphalérite, pyrite...). Ces différents sulfures ont souvent été alterés et convertis en plusieurs minéraux secondaires (pyromorphite, cérusite, hémimorphite, smithsonite...)
Historique : Il y eut plusieurs périodes d'exploitation de ce site, tant sur la rive gauche (coté route) que sur la rive droite :
- 1877-1891 : 12 000 tonnes de minerai extraites.
- 1900-1908 : période faste de la mine qui emploie alors 300 ouvriers. On implante de nombreux bâtiments. Les constructions débutèrent dès 1888 pour se terminer en 1902.
- en 1915 les bâtiments furent abandonnés, les charpentes métalliques enlevées. Seuls furent conservés les bâtiments de la rive gauche (coté route).
- 1929-1931 : la crise internationale fait avorter une reprise d'activité après extraction de 2 500 tonnes de minerai brut.
Ce gisement fut exploité de 1887 à 1931 par différentes filiales de la Société Métallurgique et Minière des Cévennes, pour l'extraction du plomb.
- de 1943 à 1945 la concession fut reprise par la société Pennaroya.
Les travaux miniers, qui totalisent 3 140 m de développement, se composent de plusieurs galeries en direction superposées et reliées par de nombreux puits verticaux.
Bien qu'il soit difficile, de par l'irrégularité de la minéralisation, d'évaluer les ressources restantes, il resterait à l'heure actuelle approximativement 100 000 tonnes de minerai exploitable.
En juillet 2007, suite à un tragique accident dans une galerie, ayant entrainé le décès d'une minéralogiste, sont mis en place signalisation et clôtures afin d'interdire l'accès au site. Longtemps laissés à l'abandon car difficilement accessibles, les deux sites ont fait l'objet d'une procédure de mise en sécurité au printemps 2009 suite à cet accident.

Nous sommes à la limite de Valserres, et avons pénétré depuis quelques dizaines de mètres sur le territoire communal de Remollon. Non loin de la chapelle Saint-Maurice, perchée à 1360 mètres, un belvédère a été aménagé sur un rocher surplombant le vide. De ce remarquable point de vue nous plongeons le regard sur la vallée de la Durance, 740 mètres plus bas. On distingue les exploitations arboricoles, sur la rive droite de la Durance, et deux des Trois-Lacs sur l'autre rive. Le village de Remollon apparaît nettement, tandis que Rochebrune, de l'autre côté de la rivière, s'efface quelque peu dans le lointain. Le massif montagneux à l'horizon, tout à gauche de la photo, en partie estompé par les nuages, est le Morgon, qui domine le lac de Serre-Ponçon.

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Captured in September 2019 during an exercise I gave to my Street Photography Workshop for them to look for different angles and perspectives as we walked around. Of course I ensured that the person begging in the shot was suitably anonymised so that the image is for narrative and is not in any way exploitative.
I'm thinking of the millions of people currently displaced across Ukraine. Over 2 million displaced out of the country but countless millions more ran out of their homes to another part of the country, all while being under artillery and rocket fire. I cannot begin to imagine the depths of pain, despair and loss that they are feeling.
I'm also thinking of those displaced and homeless throughout the United Kingdom as a result of poverty driven by the cost of living crisis and Government policy over the past decade. My own energy prices have risen 129% overnight.
I'm also thinking of those displaced out of their homes, steadings and traditional nomadic routes in Ethiopia right now. Years and years of lower than average rainfall are now leading to a famine of the levels not seen since 1985. The building humanitarian disaster is expected to be worse than that thanks, in no small part, to the climate emergency.
We all need water, food and shelter - these basics that are essential for life should be a given in our modern world.
Today I am thinking of those who have been or are being displaced from their homes. I wish I could help more.

Cattle Egret - Bubulcus ibis
The cattle egret (Bubulcus ibis) is a cosmopolitan species of heron (family Ardeidae) found in the tropics, subtropics and warm temperate zones.
It is a white bird adorned with buff plumes in the breeding season. It nests in colonies, usually near bodies of water and often with other wading birds. The nest is a platform of sticks in trees or shrubs. Cattle egrets exploit drier and open habitats more than other heron species. Their feeding habitats include seasonally inundated grasslands, pastures, farmlands, wetlands and rice paddies. They often accompany cattle or other large mammals, catching insect and small vertebrate prey disturbed by these animals. Some populations of the cattle egret are migratory and others show post-breeding dispersal.
The cattle egret has undergone one of the most rapid and wide reaching natural expansions of any bird species.It was originally native to parts of Southern Spain and Portugal, tropical and subtropical Africa and humid tropical and subtropical Asia. In the end of the 19th century it began expanding its range into southern Africa, first breeding in the Cape Province in 1908. Cattle egrets were first sighted in the Americas on the boundary of Guiana and Suriname in 1877, having apparently flown across the Atlantic Ocean. It was not until the 1930s that the species is thought to have become established in that area.
The species first arrived in North America in 1941 (these early sightings were originally dismissed as escapees), bred in Florida in 1953, and spread rapidly, breeding for the first time in Canada in 1962. It is now commonly seen as far west as California. It was first recorded breeding in Cuba in 1957, in Costa Rica in 1958, and in Mexico in 1963, although it was probably established before that. In Europe, the species had historically declined in Spain and Portugal, but in the latter part of the 20th century it expanded back through the Iberian Peninsula, and then began to colonise other parts of Europe; southern France in 1958, northern France in 1981 and Italy in 1985.
Breeding in the United Kingdom was recorded for the first time in 2008 only a year after an influx seen in the previous year. In 2008, cattle egrets were also reported as having moved into Ireland for the first time. This trend has continued and cattle egrets have become more numerous in southern Britain with influxes in some numbers during the non breeding seasons of 2007/08 and 2016/17. They bred in Britain again in 2017, following an influx in the previous winter, and may become established there.
In Australia, the colonisation began in the 1940s, with the species establishing itself in the north and east of the continent. It began to regularly visit New Zealand in the 1960s. Since 1948 the cattle egret has been permanently resident in Israel. Prior to 1948 it was only a winter visitor.
V siècles d'exploitation du charbon dans le bassin ont permis le développement économique pour la relance et l'emploi.
Le puits des Graves a fonctionné de 1925 à 1978.
Chaque dolmen semble être associé à plusieurs cairns secondaires situés à proximité. Pour certains archéologues ce sont des tumulus, pour d'autre de simple empilement de pierres dû à l'exploitation agricole moyenâgeuse. Cette exploitation agricole est également responsable des murs de délimitation.
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

Les marais salants s'étendent de Trapani à Marsala quasiment (côté ouest de l'île) et couvrent une zone d'environ 970 hectares. Certains sont encore en exploitation, et la zone des marais est une réserve naturelle gérée par le WWF depuis 1995. Cette gestion par le WWF permet la restauration des moulins, qui souvent tombent en ruine. Mais cette gestion fait de cette zone aussi une très belle réserve animalière riche en oiseaux type échassiers, flamands, faucons pêcheurs... et toutes sortes d'oiseaux migrateurs.
La récupération du sel dans la région date des phéniciens, le sel était alors essentiel pour la conservation des aliments. Le port de Trapani a alors vu croître son importance au XIIème siécle avec l'exploitation du sel, considéré comme le meilleur d'Italie. Aujourd'hui encore ce sel est considéré comme un sel de luxe, très utilisé dans la haute gastronomie.
Contrairement au sel de Guérande légèrement gris, sauf pour la fleur de sel, le sel de Trapani et de la région est très blanc. Ce blanc est vraisemblablement du au fait qu'il fait plus chaud qu'en France, et donc que l'évaporation étant plus rapide, le sable n'a pas le temps de se déposer sur le sel.
The salt marshes extend from Trapani to Marsala almost (west side of the island) and cover an area of approximately 970 hectares. Some are still in operation, and the marsh area is a nature reserve managed by WWF since 1995. This management by WWF allows the restoration of mills, which often fall into disrepair. But this management also makes this area a very beautiful animal reserve rich in wading birds, Flemish birds, fishing hawks ... and all kinds of migratory birds.
The recovery of salt in the region dates from the Phoenicians, salt was then essential for the preservation of food. The port of Trapani then saw its importance grow in the 12th century with the exploitation of salt, considered to be the best in Italy. Even today this salt is considered to be a luxury salt, widely used in haute cuisine.
Unlike the slightly gray Guérande salt, except for the fleur de sel, the Trapani and regional salt is very white. This white is probably due to the fact that it is warmer than in France, and therefore that evaporation is faster, the sand does not have time to settle on the salt.

Maroon bells, aspen, colorado
The Maroon Bells are two peaks in the Elk Mountains, Maroon Peak and North Maroon Peak, separated by about half a kilometer (one-third of a mile).[5] The mountains are on the border between Pitkin County and Gunnison County, Colorado, United States, about 12 miles (19 km) southwest of Aspen. Both peaks are fourteeners. Maroon Peak, at 14,163 feet (4317 m), is the 27th highest peak in Colorado. North Maroon Peak, at 14,019 feet (4273 m), is the 50th highest (depending on how they are counted). The view of the Maroon Bells to the southwest from the Maroon Creek valley is commonly photographed. The peaks are located in the Maroon Bells–Snowmass Wilderness of White River National Forest.[6][7] Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness was one of five areas in Colorado designated as wilderness in the original Wilderness Act of 1964. The Wilderness area surrounds the extremely popular Maroon Bells Scenic Area, which is a major access point for Wilderness travel.[8]
Unlike other mountains in the Rockies that are composed of granite and limestone, the Bells are composed of metamorphic sedimentary mudstone that has hardened into rock over millions of years. Mudstone is weak and fractures readily, giving rise to dangerously loose rock along almost any route. A US Forest Service sign on the access trail warns would-be climbers of "downsloping, loose, rotten and unstable" rock that "kills without warning". The mudstone is also responsible for the Bells' distinctive maroon color. The Bells got their "deadly" reputation in 1965 when eight people died in five separate accidents.
Maroon Lake elevation 9,580 ft (2,920 m) occupies a basin that was sculpted by Ice-Age glaciers and later dammed by a landslide and rockfall debris from the steep slopes above the valley floor.
“Silence stands outside the world of profit and utility; it cannot be exploited for profit; you cannot get anything out of it. It is ‘unproductive’ Therefore it is regarded as valueless. Yet there is more help and healing in silence than in all the 'useful things.’ Purposeless, unexplainable silence suddenly appears at the side of the all-too-purposeful, and frightens us by its very purposelessness. It interferes with the regular flow of the purposeful. It strengthens the untouchable, it lessens the damage inflicted by exploitation. It makes things whole again, by taking them back from the world of dissipation into the world of wholeness. It gives something its own holy uselessness, for that is what silence itself is: holy uselessness.” (Max Picard)
The Marsalforn salt pans, known locally as Il-Qolla l-Bajda, are located on the north coast of Gozo Island, Malta, stretching along the rocky coast west of Marsalforn Bay. Carved directly into the limestone, they form an intricate mosaic of geometric tanks that reflects a centuries-old tradition of artisanal sea salt production.
The Marsalforn salt pans in Gozo are part of a tradition of salt exploitation that dates back to antiquity, long before the Middle Ages or modern periods. Their origin is closely linked to the Phoenicians and, later, the Romans, peoples who quickly understood the enormous economic and strategic value of salt in the Mediterranean.
The Phoenicians, great navigators and traders from the coast of present-day Lebanon, arrived in the Maltese islands around the first millennium BC. For them, Malta and Gozo were natural stops on trade routes between East and West. Salt, essential for food preservation and maritime trade, became a priority resource. Taking advantage of the rocky coastline, intense sun, and constant winds, the Phoenicians began digging shallow tanks in the limestone, creating the first organized structures for sea salt production. The simple and functional geometry of these primitive salt pans would lay the foundation for the system that is still recognized in Marsalforn.
With the Roman conquest of the Maltese islands in the 2nd century BC, salt production gained an even more structured dimension. The Romans perfected the Phoenician techniques, expanding the tanks, creating more efficient channels for the circulation of seawater, and integrating the salt pans into an organized economy on an imperial scale.
Over the following centuries, despite the successive dominations that passed through Gozo, the basic structure of these salt pans remained surprisingly faithful to the solutions created by the Phoenicians and Romans. Thus, walking through the salt pans of Marsalforn today is to traverse a space where more than two thousand years of history overlap.

Inspired by Simon Jowett's www.flickr.com/photos/sjpowermac innovative take on York station, and notably this wonderful old timepiece, I couldn't resist having a go myself during a visit earlier this week to meet an old college friend.
In fact the clock is ideally positioned to exploit several angles and I came away with at least two or three usable images, I think! This one catches a lady snapping the departing London Kings Cross train - and well, I just had to capture the event myself.
For the avoidance of doubt it's 11.37am - a timely reminder I need to reset my camera clock!

A boat trip to Staffa promised so much: minke whales, dolphins, basking sharks, orca, sea eagles and Fingal's Cave, the famous inspiration for Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture. There was the faint hope of seeing a few puffin stragglers too.
But the weather was against us. Not hugely rough, but enough waves and swell to prevent our skipper putting us ashore to explore Fingal's Cave. We saw plenty seals, gannets and cormorants but little else. No dolphins, whales or orca. But there were beautiful views of the Mull coastline and deserted Treshnish Isles. Scotland has over 900 islands, though the exact number can vary slightly depending on how you define an island (some small tidal islets may or may not be counted). Of these 90-100 are inhabited
Located on the small Hebridean island of Staffa, Fingal's Cave is one of the country's most spectacular natural wonders. Formed entirely out of enormous hexagonal basalt columns, this sea cave is the backdrop of a fascinating legend.
When you visit Staffa, you can’t fail but be awestruck by nature’s creative forces. Impossibly dramatic and romantic, Staffa is best known for its basalt columns and spectacular sea caves. The most famous of these is Fingal’s Cave, also known in Gaelic as An Uamh Binn or the Cave of Music, immortalised by Mendelssohn in his Hebrides Overture. This name reflects the cave's exceptional acoustics and the sounds created by the crashing waves within.
Staffa is a volcanic island and the basalt columns formed when a single lava flow cooled around 60 million years ago. As the molten rock solidified, it also shrank, allowing gaps to form, which created the hexagonal-shaped columns seen today, similar to those found at the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland.
In addition to the cave, the columns form a dramatic cliff face which appears as colonnades or, as the Vikings saw them, the poles or staves (stafr in Old Norse) used in their buildings, hence the name Staffa. The columns are canted over at an angle of four degrees and it was this tilting that happened after they were formed, which allowed the sea to exploit natural fissures in the rock, hollowing out the cave over the millennia. Other caves on the island formed in a different way, when a softer layer of ash under the basalt columns was eroded by the sea.
Funnily enough, it wasn't Fingal who lived in this cave but his rival Scottish nemesis, Benandonner! Fionn MacCumhaill’s was a hero in Irish mythology and although a big lad, not a true giant. Separated by the Irish sea, however, Fingal felt brave enough to hurl insults over the sea to his rival, the giant Benandonner...
When the fight escalated, Fionn built the causeway across the sea to confront Benandonner. But when Fionn saw how enormous Benandonner was, he fled back to Ireland, destroying the causeway behind him. The remnants became the Giant’s Causeway and Fingal’s Cave, which is said to have been named after Fionn’s Scottish alias, Fingal, meaning ‘white stranger’.
It was the famous botanist, Joseph Banks, who, in 1772, first brought the feature to popular attention. Since then, a steady stream of visitors, including a list of famous names from the arts, have made a sort of pilgrimage to this ‘cathedral of the sea’.
Among those great artists was a young Felix Mendelssohn, who visited the cave in 1829. Duly inspired, Mendelssohn wrote the concert overture Die Hebriden, also known simply as Fingal’s Cave, which he finished in 1832. Coincidentally, JMW Turner’s painting “Staffa” was also first exhibited in the spring of the same year. Today, Mendelssohn on Mull, a Scottish chamber music festival, continues to draw inspiration from Staffa. The event brings together young musicians for a week of musical exploration and concerts inspired by the wild beauty of Staffa, Mull and Iona.
Le gisement d’étain de la région d’Abbaretz a fait l’objet d’exploitations très anciennes, dès l’époque gallo-romaine. Mais c’est au début du 20ème siècle que d’importants travaux de recherche ont débuté par la société nantaise des Minerais de l’Ouest (SNMO). L’exploitation principale a été réalisée à ciel ouvert sur le site du Bois Vert à l’ouest du bourg d’Abbaretz à partir de 1952. La mine à ciel ouvert a atteint des profondeurs allant de 40 à 70 m. Lors de l’exploitation, les matériaux extraits à la pelle mécanique étaient transportés par bandes transporteuses soit au nord de la route départementale directement lorsqu’il s’agit de roche de découverte ou de minerai trop pauvre en étai, soit dans l’usine de traitement du minerai. Dans l’usine, le minerai était concassé et broyé pour récupérer l’étain. Une fois ce dernier récupéré, les résidus de traitement étaient envoyés dans des grandes aires de décantation au nord de la route départementale. Cette activité a généré les terrils du Bois Vert visibles aujourd’hui : le terril conique composé de stériles d’exploitation (matériaux plus ou moins grossiers, moins chargés en métaux) et les terrils tabulaires en forme de plateaux composés de résidus de traitement (matériaux plus fins de type sable, plus chargés en métaux). L’étude menée récemment par le BRGM conclut à une concentration relativement importante en métaux dans les sols (arsenic notamment) présente dans les résidus des anciennes activités de traitement du minerai. Cette zone ayant donné lieu à une exploitation minière dans le passé contient naturellement des teneurs en métaux plus élevées que la moyenne de terres initialement chargées en métaux. Ce rapport indique qu’en dehors d’une promenade le long du chemin de randonnée et sur la montée au belvédère du terril conique, les autres usages ne sont pas compatibles avec le site.
The tin deposit in the Abbaretz region has been exploited for a very long time, since the Gallo-Roman period. But it was at the beginning of the 20th century that significant research work began by the Nantes company of West Minerals (SNMO). The main mining was carried out in the open pit on the Bois Vert site west of the village of Abbaretz from 1952. The open pit mine reached depths ranging from 40 to 70 m. During operation, the materials extracted with a mechanical shovel were transported by conveyor belts either to the north of the departmental road directly in the case of discovery rock or ore too poor in prop, or to the plant of ore processing. At the plant, the ore was crushed and ground to recover the tin. Once the latter was recovered, the treatment residues were sent to large settling areas north of the departmental road. This activity generated the Bois Vert slag heaps visible today: the conical slag heap made up of waste rock (more or less coarse materials, less loaded with metals) and the tabular slag heaps in the form of trays made up of processing residues (materials finer sand type, more loaded with metals). The recent study carried out by BRGM concludes that there is a relatively high concentration of metals in the soils (arsenic in particular) present in the residues of old ore processing activities. This area, which has given rise to mining in the past, naturally contains higher levels of metals than the average soil initially loaded with metals. This report indicates that apart from a walk along the hiking trail and on the climb to the belvedere of the conical slag heap, other uses are not compatible with the site.
