Third picture of my series A Place To Rest.
(This time only with two flamingos, framing the lines of the reflections of clouds toward them)
One more photo of my series of that morning in September 2014 in which I was lucky to meet those flamingos in freedom, they had made a stop in Valencia to take forces and continue their migration to warmer lands where spending winter.
The Albufera of Valencia, is a place where they are very comfortable and can rest and feed a few days.
A few months ago in february, some two thousand adult flamingos made a stop.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Saturday. :)

When the Hebden Moor Mining Company began to exploit the lead veins of Bolton Gill in 1853, there was no track up Hebden Gill, the only access to the site from Hebden being up the Raikes to the left of Eddy's Barn at Hole Bottom onto the moorland pasture at the top, and then back down towards Bolton Gill.
Better communications were required, and in 1855 the company improved access from Hebden to Hole Bottom, which including cutting through the moraine at Scale Haw to ease the gradient.
However, they needed access to the other side of the beck from Hole Bottom to enable them to drive a track up the east bank of the gill. They applied in October 1856 to the Duke of Devonshire's agent, Stephen Eddy, to purchase a small plot of land on the west bank, and he, sensing a seller's market, offered to sell it for an extortionate £50, which the company declined.
By July 1857, the price had fallen to £15, and it was purchased. This enabled them to build the beautiful and iconic Miners’ Bridge, and hence drive their track up to the mine.

Pour ce tout premier spot ferroviaire de l'année 2023, je vous emmène pas dans les coins des bouches du Rhône que j'ai l'habitude d'exploiter mais encore plus loin, puisque je me suis rendu avec un acolyte, dans le département des Alpes-Maritimes afin de découvrir les célèbres Chemins de Fer de Provence, Train des Pignes où plus communément appelés "CP".
La compagnie des CP possède une ligne à voie métrique longue de 150km, reliant la petite ville de Digne-les-Bains à Nice mais suite à un effondrement du Tunnel de Moriez en 2019, la section Saint André les Alpes - Dignes n'est plus desservie par le train mais par autocars. La section St André les Alpes - Nice, est quant à elle, desservie par des touts petits autorails X300 datant des années 70 et d'autres modèles.
Parlons à présent de la photo : Quelques dizaine de minutes après nôtre arrivée dans la petite gare de Lingostière situé dans les hauteurs de Nice, le superbe Autorail X301 avec sa belle robe du CP, qui est d'ailleurs le doyen de la toute petite série des X300, était immortalisé en passant le PN de la Gare, en assurant le Train N°120 reliant Colomars à Nice CP, son terminus, sous une superbe lumière du sud.
Sur fond de toile, nous pouvons apercevoir le Baou de la Gaude, qui domine la commune de Saint Jeannet.

En 1965, Peter Wolkonsky achète les vieux bâtiments de ferme d'une exploitation agricole et recompose façades et toitures dans le style d'un ancien logis manorial du XVIIe siècle. Il creuse les différentes pièces d'eau, bâtit et décore des constructions annexes, fontaine ou pavillons et grotte italienne ornés de coquillages.
Les tempêtes de 1987 et 1999 causent de grands dégâts. Après la mort de Peter Wolkonsky en 1997, sa fille Isabelle et son mari Timothy Vaughan, paysagiste, restaurent le jardin et poursuivent l'œuvre de son créateur. Le paysagiste meurt en août 2025.
En 2021, les jardins sont achetés par le créateur de chaussures de luxe Christian Louboutin.
En mai 2025, ce jardin est considéré comme l'un des vingt-cinq plus beaux du monde, selon une liste publiée par le New York Times. Le paysagiste Louis Benech est à l'origine du classement du jardin à la 18e place.
Les jardins de Kerdalo s'étendent sur 18 hectares, le long d'un vallon encaissé qui descend en pente douce vers la rivière du Jaudy. Ce jardin-paysage à l'anglaise emprunte différents éléments d'inspiration italienne ou exotique.

In 1965, Peter Wolkonsky purchased the old farm buildings of a working farm and redesigned the facades and roofs in the style of a 17th-century manor house. He created various water features, built and decorated outbuildings, a fountain, pavilions, and an Italian grotto adorned with seashells. Storms in 1987 and 1999 caused extensive damage. After Peter Wolkonsky's death in 1997, his daughter Isabelle and her husband, landscape architect Timothy Vaughan, restored the garden and continued his work. The landscape architect died in August 2025. In 2021, the gardens were purchased by luxury shoe designer Christian Louboutin. In May 2025, this garden was ranked among the twenty-five most beautiful in the world, according to a list published by The New York Times. Landscape architect Louis Benech is responsible for the garden's 18th place ranking.
The Kerdalo gardens extend over 18 hectares, along a narrow valley that slopes gently down to the Jaudy River. This English-style landscape garden incorporates various elements of Italian and exotic inspiration.
Curzon Street Tunnel is on the Digbeth Branch Canal, completed in 1799.
The Grade II listed structure is 161 yards long and carries the Birmingham to London railway across the canal. The older brick tunnel was constructed at the same time as Curzon Street station in 1838 and lengthened later when the line was extended into New Street station, opened in 1854.

Early in 2001 the Government initiated a rapid assessment of the feasibility of providing antiretroviral drugs through the public sector. The treatment program began at a single site in January 2002. Now all citizens in Botswana have free access to anti-retrovirals. But much remains to be done.
i struggle with posting this image. i have another powerful image in which faces are recognizable, which i decided not to post.
my question to you, flickr-folk (if you choose to share your opinion), is when do such images cross the threshold into exploitation (or at least bad taste)? what is your reflexive or considered reaction as a photographer or as a viewer?

A young female approaches my car slowly after we stared at each other for over 20 mins in total silence about 14 years ago. I love gaining the confidence of large cats the PROPER non intrusive way. This was well before sunrise so there are no shadows ..Sadly with new abusive spotlighted night drives in Tourist hotspots being the new quick fix method of finding these cats who are now so habituated to vehicles and man and have literally given up being their normal elusive selves in these over exploited establishments ..The power of money at the expense of the big cats
Water always finds a way to exploit the weakest rock as demonstrated here. I suspect this might have been a small syncline and the sea has worn away at the cracks in the rock
I have decided to post at least one shot of my previous (2007-2014 +) exploits before my reacquaintence with Ruth Bancroft Garden. So Saturday, it may be a bird, bug, bison, or beetle. And Sunday, I'll be back with photos of flowers.
When you walk through the gates at the Garden and head straight, you will come to a patch of wild yellow Zinnias. Though this time, I managed to avoid cactuc growing in the middle of the 10x5 foot carpet, the zinnias surround four cacti. But you've got to see these, an intrusive yellow (view large) that meets you every time you come to the Garden. They're in bloom for three months, and look just like this.
Zinnia grandiflora is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae known by the common names Rocky Mountains zinnia and plains zinnia. It is native to the southwestern and south-central United States, but does well in parts of Calfiornia.
Zinnia grandiflora is a small flat-topped or rounded subshrub growing up to 8+1⁄2 inches tall with many slender, branching stems. Though I found nothing to suggest it, I'm willing to be that some people will find this to be an intrusive weed. This one is "safe." The yellow flowers (plant) you should avoid is Scotch Broom. I love it, but left unattended for two or three years, it blocked a gate in our fence and gave quite a fight when I tried to remove it.

The Hoh Rainforest is located on the Olympic Peninsula in western Washington state, USA. It is one of the largest temperate rainforests in the U.S.[1] Within Olympic National Park, the forest is protected from commercial exploitation. This includes 24 miles (39 km) of low elevation forest 394 to 2,493 feet (120 to 760 m) along the Hoh River. The Hoh River valley was formed thousands of years ago by glaciers. Between the park boundary and the Pacific Ocean, 48 km (30 mi) of river, much of the forest has been logged within the last century, although many pockets of forest remain.
A Vega de Liordes, um vale glaciar emblemático situado no coração do Maciço Central dos Picos de Europa, em Leão, Espanha, apresenta uma paisagem alpina de cortar a respiração. Esta extensa depressão de fundo plano, um notável polje moldado pela dissolução de rocha calcária e pela ação glaciar pleistocénica, encontra-se a uma altitude média de 1.880 metros, circundada por imponentes picos calcários que ultrapassam os 2.400 metros. O vale, coberto por pastagens e turfeiras, contrasta com as escarpas rochosas e os taludes de detritos, albergando um microclima particular que favorece a inversão térmica, onde foi registada a temperatura mais baixa de Espanha ( -35,8 °C ). Integrada no Parque Nacional e Reserva da Biosfera dos Picos de Europa, a Vega de Liordes é acessível através de trilhos de montanha, sendo um destino popular para caminhantes. Historicamente, a área foi explorada para a extração de zinco e galena, e mantém-se como zona de pastoreio estival, refletindo a harmonia entre a natureza e as atividades humanas.
The Vega de Liordes, an iconic glacial valley located in the heart of the Central Massif of the Picos de Europa in León, Spain, offers breathtaking alpine scenery. This extensive flat-bottomed depression, a remarkable polje shaped by the dissolution of limestone rock and Pleistocene glacial action, lies at an average altitude of 1,880 meters, surrounded by imposing limestone peaks exceeding 2,400 meters. The valley, covered with pastures and peat bogs, contrasts with the rocky escarpments and debris slopes, harboring a particular microclimate that favors thermal inversion, where the lowest temperature in Spain (-35.8 °C) was recorded. Part of the Picos de Europa National Park and Biosphere Reserve, Vega de Liordes is accessible via mountain trails and is a popular destination for hikers. Historically, the area was exploited for zinc and galena mining and remains a summer grazing area, reflecting the harmony between nature and human activities.

It may seem hard to believe, but there is actually a small oilfield here at Kimmeridge Bay in the east of Dorset. There is a "nodding donkey" and a small storage tank on the side of the cliffs in the far right of the picture.
The Isle of Purbeck's oil-shale field, or "Kimmeridge Coal", was mined from the cliffs to the east of Kimmeridge since the early 17th century. It is no longer used commercially. Similar deposits were found at nearby Wytch Farm in the 1890s and were commercially exploited until around 1900. In 1890 some 5,000 ft of underground tunnels had been dug at Kimmeridge on four levels into the local cliffs, and there was a jetty to export the oil shale.
The Isle of Purbeck's oil industry began in 1936 with the first wells drilled near Kimmeridge. The area had long been mined for oil shale and tar, but was only prospected for crude oil in the 1950s. It was not until 1959 that a borehole at Kimmeridge showed that oil was seeping out, and 1960 saw British Petroleum's Kimmeridge Oil Field discovered. It began producing oil in 1979.
This is one of a group of small oilfields in this part of Dorset, with the main area on the south side of Poole Harbour being known as Wytch Farm. This is where the oil from Kimmeridge is taken by tanker and processed.

We owe a lot to this planet on which we live and exploit all its resources to the fullest. Although we do our best to protect it individually, the world is getting damaged day by day due to reasons beyond our control. Our seas have turned into plastic garbage and there is nuclear and chemical waste in the soil. It is deliberately destroyed and we just watch. I am an environmental volunteer. I am not an activist, but I support them and I hope everyone will support them as well.
Despite everything, I feel happy as I see the stubborn attitude of plants. When you see a daisy rising from the cobblestones in the middle of the industry hell, say "hello" to it. Because he is braver than most of us.
La Couvertoirade constitue dès l’origine pour les Templiers un centre d’exploitation agricole. Sur ces terres, ils font cultiver aux paysans des céréales, élever des chevaux (pour la guerre) et des moutons (pour la viande, les peaux, le lait). Un bourg se développe autour du château, encore visible de nos jours. En 1312, l’ordre du Temple est dissous. L’ensemble de leurs biens revient aux Hospitaliers qui deviennent les nouveaux maîtres de La Couvertoirade. La bourgade compte 135 feux en 1328, soit environ 800 personnes. Au milieu du XIVè siècle, les « Routiers » (des compagnies de mercenaires vivant en bandes plus ou moins organisées et souvent peu disciplinées) pillent le Larzac. Par crainte de ces bandes armées, les habitants finissent par faire fortifier le bourg de 1439 à 1445. C'est Déodat d'Alaus, maître maçon de Saint-Beauzély, qui est chargé d'exécuter ces travaux. Malheureusement, ce territoire se sera déjà fortement dépeuplé.
À ce siècle de fléaux succède un siècle de repeuplement et de reconstruction dont témoignent de nombreuses maisons ayant conservé des éléments de la fin du XVè au début du XVIè siècle. En 1562, au début des guerres de religion, les Huguenots tentent de prendre la cité — en vain. En 1702 les habitants s’arment et restaurent les portes par crainte des Camisards, mais le bourg ne sera plus jamais attaqué. Malgré les épidémies et les disettes s’instaure une certaine prospérité. En 1768 le bourg est érigé en commanderie indépendante, octroyée au chevalier Riquetti, baron de Mirabeau, déjà commandeur de Sainte-Eulalie. La Révolution confisque toutes les possessions hospitalières qui reviennent aux paysans. Au XIXè siècle, la commune est touchée par l’exode rural mais maintient son activité économique agricole. Puis, à partir des dernières décennies du XXè siècle, la commune exploite aussi son passé templier à des fins touristiques.

Category 20: Self-Repro Bricktime
What would the laboratory for researching the self-reproducing LEGO brick look like? At least 1 LEGO propeller must be used, no matter what size!
3D printing is so 2020, the future is.. growing!LEGO was already making bricks from plants… but could they make plants from Bricks? Or… even better, make plants that produce Bricks?
In their efforts to become an ecologically sustainable company, LEGO made the groundbreaking (hehe, see what I did here?) discovery of ABS-based seeds used to grow plants that produce LEGO elements!
TLG has always exploited ... Err.. I mean, leveraged their fan base as their primary source of data to develop new products. This experiment is no different and is currently being tested by a few selected subjects.
Pictured here is little Timmy's room; Timmy loves LEGO and he was thrilled to give this new toy a try. He has been taking good care of his new LEGO plant, watering, grooming, he can't wait to play with his first crop!
The critics that have said the seeds could spread in the wild and result in mutations of the flora are completely unfounded, I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

Ellora Caves
These 34 monasteries and temples, extending over more than 2 km, were dug side by side in the wall of a high basalt cliff, not far from Aurangabad, in Maharashtra. Ellora, with its uninterrupted sequence of monuments dating from A.D. 600 to 1000, brings the civilization of ancient India to life. Not only is the Ellora complex a unique artistic creation and a technological exploit but, with its sanctuaries devoted to Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism, it illustrates the spirit of tolerance that was characteristic of ancient India.

On the promontory of a small rocky peninsula that juts into the sea between Bermeo and Bakio, magical and legendary Gaztelugatxe Hermitage stands.
Its origins are shrouded in mystery, which is no stranger as a former convent of the Templars or that story about how the famous pirate Drake, passing through the Biscay coast, conquered the rock and threw vacuum hermit who lived there.
It is linked to the coast by a stone bridge and a staircase of 231 steps; reaching the top of this majestic natural vantage point is rewarded by the wonderful views from the top are covered with special mention summer evenings.

...Joe Simpson au Siula Grande - Cordillère Huayhuash - Pérou.
Joe Simpson (né le 13 août 1960) est un écrivain et alpiniste anglais connu principalement pour son terrible accident lors de la descente du Siula Grande (6 334 m) avec Simon Yates en 1985.
"Lors de la descente d'un versant très dangereux en période hivernale, Joe est victime d'une première chute qui lui brise la jambe droite. Son ami décide alors de le descendre à la corde petit à petit dans des conditions climatiques extrêmes. Malheureusement, Joe se retrouve suspendu dans le vide n'ayant pu avertir son ami de l'arrivée d'une énorme coulée. Après une heure et demie d'attente par -25°C Simon prend la terrible décision de couper la corde le reliant à Joe pour avoir une chance de sauver sa propre vie. Joe Simpson chute de plusieurs dizaines de mètres dans une crevasse.
Il réussit ensuite l'exploit de ressortir de la crevasse, de finir la descente du versant et de traverser un glacier pour rejoindre le campement avec la jambe cassée, sans eau et par des températures extrêmes. Ce combat pour la survie dure quatre jours. Joe Simpson perd un tiers de son poids.
Il a écrit un livre adapté par la suite au cinéma, La Mort suspendue, réalisé par Kevin Macdonald en 2003. Cette adaptation est en fait dédiée à son ami Simon Yates pour répondre aux critiques des alpinistes que Simon avait reçues après avoir coupé la corde qui le séparait de Joe durant la descente du Siula Grande. Joe a déclaré qu'il aurait fait exactement la même chose si les rôles avaient été inversés. Après deux ans de rééducation en hôpital et six opérations, Joe profite à nouveau de sa passion, l'alpinisme.
Il est également l'auteur de grandes premières et voies prestigieuses. "

The pit Bindweide is a visitor's mine in Steinbach / Sieg in the administrative district Altenkirchen. The history of this pit decreases to 1837, at that time the claim of the pit field occurred. However, already about 1810 a deep tunnel was attached in the area. In 1852 the mining law were lent, and in 1864 the mining company began work.
Spavin and brown iron ore was extracted before all hematite, besides also. In 1869 the annual support amounted to 7.393 t of ore, in 1880 there were already 26.142 t of brown iron ore and hematite as well as 218 t of spavin iron stone.
Already in 1889 one reached a support of 99.491 tons of hematite and brown iron ore as well as 14.912 t of spavin iron stone. The extraction per month lay with maximum 10,000 tons. All together one promoted 5,123,810 t of iron stone. On the 30th of September, 1931 the company was concluded, but because of the rest stocks of approx. 11 million tons the pit was led as a reserve mine.
Hence, it was possible to alter the pit Bindweide in a visitor's mine. This happened from 1981, in 1986 the visitor's mine was opened. In June, 2006 300,000 visitor's borders was crossed.
