Si des textes d'archives mentionnent l'extraction de la pierre bleue dès le xive siècle, c'est à partir du xviie siècle que les carrières de Maffle existent. À partir du xixe siècle, elles sont progressivement abandonnées, certaines étant envahies par l'eau ou recouvertes par une végétation forestière
Certains fours à chaux sont classés monument historique
Les lacs qui se sont créés sur le site des carrières constituent un site de grand intérêt biologique
For those who are interested, an extract from this afternoon's Journal entry.
"At 5 o'clock we were back on the road to Sousousvlei for the afternoon drive, along the way we saw Oryx and Ostriches. We stopped at dune number 45, I gave Ruby my Panasonic camera and she went off to take photos of wild flowers. I took close up shots of the sand dune and its environment.
Next we drove to dune number 47; this was a stunning landscape, especially in the afternoon light. We watched the sun set at dune 47, Ruby took photos of the sunset with one of my cameras, while I used another. Neither of us was interested in sharing drinks and nibbles, we were civil but an impossible gulf had opened between us.
I asked about taking a hot air balloon or a sightseeing flight the next morning. Ruby said I'd never get into the balloon basket and besides the next morning would be windy and unsuitable for ballooning. She was no longer interested in anything I wanted if I wasn’t interested in what she wanted me to do. She had also lost sight of the fact I was the client and she the guide. Her message was loud and clear.
Back at the camp we had Orix kebabs for dinner, tough as old leather and not at all tasty."

Ingredients: Milk, Eggs, Flour, Fresh Frozen Sour Cherries, Lemon Zest, Green Salt, Vanilla Extract. No Sugar.
One day before baking the pie, place Cherries in a strainer on the top of a pot to collect the juice. Drink the Juice.
In Florida, I do not find fresh sour cherries, so I had to order online Fresh Frozen Sour Cherries, which were excellent.
Species: Carduelis carduelis.
The goldfinch is a highly coloured finch with a bright red face and yellow wing patch. Sociable, often breeding in loose colonies, they have a delightful liquid twittering song and call. Their long fine beaks allow them to extract otherwise inaccessible seeds from thistles and teasels. Increasingly they are visiting bird tables and feeders. In winter many UK goldfinches migrate as far south as Spain. Info: RSPB.
Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos.
Rampart Range Road, Colorado Springs, CO - I was pleased to find large numbers of Clark's Nutcrackers hard at work ripping apart pine cones the other day. These high mountain birds plant the seeds of pine trees in their quest for food as they extract seeds from pine cones and bury them in various locations to serve as winter food stores. Those seeds that are never reclaimed for food, later turn into lovely pine forests, which the area now needs having suffered great loss from the Waldo Canyon Fire several years ago ...
I should have been photographing my grandchildren climbing on the fallen trees but was taken with this small patch of bark detail on one of the trees. The resulting image was dry, dull & flat but returning a couple of days later after rain the colours and detail were really brought to life.
Apparues juste après la dernière glaciation, il y a près de 10.000 ans, les tourbières actuelles ne sont que les reliques d'un paysage végétal qui devait recouvrir de plus vastes surfaces. La conjonction de facteurs tels que l'humidité permanente des sols, les précipitations importantes, la fraîcheur du climat, a permis leur maintien dans les vallées morvandelles. En effet, une alimentation permanente en eau est nécessaire à la création d'une tourbière.
Au départ, la tourbière est issue d'un marécage initial constamment alimenté en eau de diverses provenances (sources, nappe alluviale, plan d'eau d'un étang). La matière organique va peu à peu s'accumuler (empilement des débris de plantes majoritairement herbacées) formant ce que l'on appelle de la tourbe brune (stade de tourbière basse). Si les précipitations sont plus importantes que les eaux provenant de la nappe, certaines sphaignes fortement génératrices de tourbe pourront s'installer et s'accumuler sur de longues périodes formant ainsi ce que l'on appelle la tourbière bombée constituée cette fois-ci de tourbe blonde. Le fonctionnement de ces milieux s'avère tout à fait unique. En effet, les conditions écologiques sont telles que les débris de végétaux s'accumulent formant ainsi la tourbe, véritable roche végétale saturée d'eau. épaisses au maximum de deux mètres, soit deux centimètres de croissance par siècle, les tourbières du Morvan n'ont jamais subi d'extraction de tourbe.
Le stade ultime de l'évolution de certaines tourbières est le boisement (tourbière boisée).
Le drainage prolongé rompt irrémédiablement cette dynamique et entraîne, associé aux amendements (chaux, engrais), une véritable ' fonte ' de la tourbe. Un drainage modéré associé au pâturage entraînera l'apparition de prairies tourbeuses comme cela a été le cas pour une grande partie des tourbières du Morvan. En cas d'abandon du pâturage la dynamique pourra à nouveau reprendre.

A year ago in Potosi, Bolivia...
We are on our way to visit one of the most famous silver mines in South America - disguised as miners...
Potosí lies between 3,976 m and 4,070 m above sea level on the plateau of the Altiplano, in a barren, steppe-like area. The city is one of the highest cities in the world.
The Inca had already had silver mined at Cerro Rico. Founded on April 10, 1545 as a mining settlement, Potosí soon blossomed. Already in 1553 it became the Villa Imperial, the imperial city. It was the main source of Spanish silver with significant coinage. Construction of the Casa Real de la Moneda, the royal coin, began in 1572. The Spanish colonizers extracted huge amounts of precious metals from the mine, which they shipped all over the world.
Vor einem Jahr in Potosi, Bolivien...
Wir sind auf dem Wege zur Besichtigung einer der berühmtesten Silberminen von Südamerika in Potosi - verkleidet als Bergleute...
Potosí liegt zwischen 3.976 m und 4.070 m Seehöhe auf der Hochebene des Altiplano, in einer kargen, steppenhaften Gegend. Die Stadt gehört zu den höchstgelegenen Großstädten der Welt.
Schon die Inka hatten am Cerro Rico Silber fördern lassen. Am 10. April 1545 als Bergbausiedlung gegründet, erreichte Potosí bald eine sagenhafte Blüte. Schon 1553 wurde es deshalb zur Villa Imperial, zur Reichsstadt. Es war die Hauptquelle des spanischen Silbers mit bedeutender Münzprägung. Mit dem Bau der Casa Real de la Moneda, der königlichen Münze, wurde 1572 begonnen. Die spanischen Kolonisatoren holten riesige Edelmetallmengen aus der Mine, die sie in die ganze Welt verschifften.
Started to watch 'Tales from the Loop' recently and inspired to build some retro-futuristic MOCs.

An extract from today's Journal:-
At St Petersburg's Moskovsky Station we were met by guides Katrina and Marina. The crowds at the train station were beyond impossible, two porters loaded our luggage onto trollies and vanished into the crowd. Katrina and Marina led us through hoards of people in the train station before we emerged into a street that was just as crowded.
We walked and walked through streets packed with parked buses, and just when all hope was fading, we climbed aboard a medium sized Mercedes Benz touring bus. From there it was a short drive through dense traffic to Nevsky Prospekt and I got my first real look at Saint Petersburg. Nevsky Prospekt is a wide straight boulevard that just disappears into the horizon; to say it’s impressive would be an understatement.
We drove through other equally wide and impressive streets; the place was stunning. As for the buildings lining the streets, they were equally spectacular; the architecture here is beautiful. Our hotel was therefore something of a disappointment, it wasn’t on one of the impressive thoroughfares, nor was it beautifully elegant after the style of our hotel in Moscow. Can it be that I’ve been spoiled rotten on my stay in Moscow.
This afternoon we were driven around the city while Katrina delivered a detailed description of every place we went, and every building we saw. It was beyond boring because there was no sequence to any of it and I got no sense of place or its history. The overthrow of the Czar and the Bolshevik revolution were never mentioned; it was as though it had all been airbrushed from history.
Pre-revolutionary history was however, alive and well. We were taken to see such significant landmarks as the Monument to Peter the Great, founder of this beautiful Imperial capital. The monument is located in Kronstadt on Kotlin Island. The island is strategically located in the Finnish bay and protects St. Petersburg from the sea. The man was an astute and strategic thinker.
Definition: a small elite securing and extracting ("raking in") an excessive slice of the economic cake without investing in the common good. In the UK, this has created a high-inequality, high-poverty cycle. This cycle is the responsibility of the British Tory Party and, consequentially, the rake ought to be its visual signature - not the tree.

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.

Somewhere in Ipiccy you can ectract details and i like the results of that , thanks have a nice day.
On Both Sides.

She carefully extracted her MacBook from the bag.
At the same time I tried to extract her beautiful face from lowlight environment.
Bokeh weird and wonderful!
The bokeh is not the result of some texture programme in Photoshop or the like, but primarily the result of the optics used, "enhanced" in processing with the clarity control, otherwise known as a detail extractor.
Initial processing in the RAW-converter built into the Pentax K-1, along with the application of "digital filters". Further work on colour intensification, shading and vignetting in SilkyPix Developer Studio Pro 9.
Do view large and zoom in! It's fun!

Eastern Spinebill
Acanthorhynchus tenuirostris
The Eastern Spinebill sometimes hovers like a hummingbird when feeding on the nectar from flowers. Most Australian honeyeaters feed on flowers from a perched position.
Description: The Eastern Spinebill is most easily recognised by its very long, fine, down-curved beak and energetic flight, during which its white outer tail feathers are prominent. Males have a grey-black crown which extends in a black line on either site of the breast. The breast and throat are white, with a rufous patch in the centre of the throat. The wings and lower back are dark grey and the underparts and upper back are buff. Females are similar to males but have less distinct markings.
Similar species: Crescent Honeyeater, Tawny-crowned Honeyeater, Western Spinebill (in Western Australia)
Distribution: The Eastern Spinebill's range is generally east of the Great Dividing Range from Cooktown in Queensland to the Flinders Ranges in South Australia
Habitat: The Eastern Spinebill prefers heath, forest and woodland.
Seasonal movements: Largely sedentary, but undergoes some local movements, especially away from higher elevations in autumn/winter.
Feeding: The Eastern Spinebill feeds on insects and nectar while perched or while hovering. Nectar is obtained from a wide array of flowers, including grevilleas, but its beak is particularly well-suited to extracting nectar from tubular flowers such as epacrids.
Breeding: The Eastern Spinebill's nest is a small cup of twigs, grass and bark, combined with hair and spider's web, built in a tree fork, generally between 1 and 5 metres from the ground. Only the female builds the nest and incubates the eggs, but both parents feed the young when they hatch.
Calls: Short, repeated, high-pitched piping.
Minimum Size: 15cm
Maximum Size: 16cm
Average size: 16cm
Average weight: 11g
Breeding season: August to January
Clutch Size: 2
Incubation: 14 days
Nestling Period: 14 days

I can never resist FebRovery, and wasn’t going to let my tiny rover from the Astro Warden be my only contribution! This mining vehicle brought back lots of memories of playing with Power Miners and was a ton of fun to build. I managed to utilize some interesting yellow elements I’ve had around for a while along with the unusual sand blue technic column.
The saw arm can rotate 360° and extend or retract for mining or transit mode. The windscreen also opens, and the whole roof can be removed for easier access to the cabin.
Full credit for the wheel design goes to Frost.

I think this place really deserves a monument status despite Devil's Postpile National Monument has stolen all the fame to the west of Mammoth Lakes. They were all resulted from the same volcanic eruption over hundred thousands years ago. Here 'a an extract from Atlas Obsura describing the process of creating such interesting column formation: "As the colossal torrents of lava washed over the built up ash it baked the ash to a layer of stone in an instant. Now after millennia of erosion from wind and water the bottom layer and the top layer of cooled lava can be clearly seen, taking the form of rocky waves bisected by a dividing line. In certain sections along the tuff, the stone has turned into bulbous columns known as degassing pipes creating a veritable forest of oddly shaped stone"
The extractor spins one way then the other to empty the honey from the cells in the frames. The honey goes into a sump, the wax is trapped in the first compartment and then honey collects in the next one until it is pumped out. We sell our honey but are not going to be well off any day soon 😊
Potato starch is starch extracted from potatoes. To extract the starch, the potatoes are crushed, and the starch grains are released from the destroyed cells. The starch is then washed out and dried to powder.
Starch derivatives are used in many recipes, for example in noodles, wine gums, cocktail nuts, potato chips, hot dog sausages, bakery cream and instant soups and sauces, in gluten-free recipes, in kosher foods for Passover and in Asian cuisine.In pastry, e.g. sponge cake, it is used to keep the cake moist and give a soft texture. It is also occasionally used in the preparation of pre-packed grated cheese, to reduce sweating and binding.
This is the starch factory near Sünching.
