Le processus de formation des orgues basaltiques est similaire, dans le principe, à celui des surfaces de boue et d’argile craquelées après séchage au soleil. Les prismes se forment suite à la contraction de la matière – ici le basalte – lors de son refroidissement. :
• Lors d’une éruption volcanique sous-marine ou terrestre, une coulée de lave se répand directement à la surface, descendant par gravité jusqu’à être freinée et s’arrêter ;
• Au contact de l’eau ou de l’air, la lave refroidit rapidement. En refroidissant, la matière immobile se contracte et se fracture selon des prismes plus ou moins réguliers. Une fois refroidie en-deçà d’une certaine température, elle se solidifie pour former une roche basaltique organisée en colonnes prismatiques adoptant des formes de polygones, le plus souvent à 6 côtés, parfois à 5 ou 8 côtés.
La forme finale est souvent une série de colonnes polygonales de dimension comprise entre quelques centimètres et trois mètres de diamètre, parfois sur plusieurs dizaines de mètres de haut. Les colonnes peuvent être parallèles entre elles, parfois verticales « colonnades » ou parfois courbes (lorsque la lave continue à avancer à vitesse minimale tout en finissant de se solidifier), ou bien organisées de façon anarchique avec des angles différents « entablures ».
that's the day i was born and hence, i had a birthday on april 9th, 2009! AHHHH!
it was a fun day. though it ended with bloatedness after drinking a soy chai at a restaurant. it was the powder mix chai, which, from experience, tends to be laden with dairy... Oh NOES! . . .
in any case, it was still fun. a guy gave me a HUGE purple cellophane wrapped basket of homemade peanut butter cookies he made himself, pretty white roses, funny balloons, and a card about BOOTYBUTTS (the card i received at work was about a toilet and poo... ironic much?)! his mom got me a to-die-for gift card to starbuck's (i whole-heartedly support the local coffee and tea shops, but sometimes, they just aren't around when you need 'em the most!)
then he and i went out to breakfast/lunch/brunch/whatever you wanna call it at T.C. Eggington's. they have great vegetarian choices... "portobellini"... yum! on the way to breakfast, we saw a mother and her tiny baby ducks by the freeway in the puddle-y canal/gutter/whatever you wanna call that. it was cool because it was my birthday and they were cute, yet odd because it was by a freeway and not in a park, or in my school's irrigation or something. them duckies must be suffering economically too, eh?
so after that, i contemplated going back home to work on a commedia dell'arte mask for theatre class, but decided to just veg and hang with this guy at his apartment (i find vegging out, doing nothing a bit difficult to do sometimes).
later on, we met up with my parents to eat dinner at the Euro Cafe in Gilbert, AZ. a great foodsie greeky place. and that's where, you know, *ahem*... the soy-chai-laden-with-dairy-omg-why-did-i-order-this fiasco happened. so after dinner, with all of us feeling like cows (even though i hardly ate anything and they ate like contestants in a hotdog eating contest), we went to Wal-Mart of all places. i'm particularly NOT a Wal-Mart fan, but since i was at Wal-Mart and it might be cheaper than at other places, i bought vanilla soy ice cream because i was magnetized/hankering for some.
we finally headed home around 11pm, after which i quickly shoved this guy out the door and kissed him goodbye, so i could heat up some of those peanut butter cookies and WHAM BAM!... inhale hot cookies n' ice cream. mmmmmmmmmm... no cake this year. and i wanted it that way. no one even sang to me either i noticed, but that's perfectly ok. it's not a crime. wait wait...i take that back: he played the weird al birthday song... so essentially, i was sung to in mp3 format. :)
oh yeah, and at work today for my 'employee birthday'... i made up fruit, granola, & yogurt parfaits for everyone. someone bought all the ingredients (i requested it instead of birthday cake), and i went right to work -- whipping up those babies during my lunch break. i was so amazed some people didn't know what a parfait was or how to make them.
well, now they know :)
suffice to say, i'm on a parfait kick now. i hadn't had one in a year before that day. soy yogurt though. yes, please. :)
p.s. thanks dude for taking these kickity arse photos!

Paysages verdoyants du pourtour de l'île.....
Voyage en Islande du 1 au 15 juillet 2007….
Nous avons gardé un très beau souvenir, en commun avec tous les photographes et amateurs de paysages aux multiples couleurs.
Env 5 fois plus petite que la France c’est avant tout une île (103 000 km²) ,située sur la partie émergée de la dorsale médio-océanique entre l'Europe et l'Amérique. Ainsi, d'un point de vue de la tectonique des plaques, la partie nord-ouest de l'Islande est sur la plaque américaine et la partie sud-est est sur la plaque eurasiatique .De plus, un point chaud se situerait juste en dessous de l'Islande, plus précisément sous le massif du Vatnajökull. Cette situation unique engendre sur l'île une importante activité volcanique et géothermale, située principalement le long de ce fossé tectonique d'effondrement, là où le magma est le plus près de la surface.
-doc à suivre.....
NB. mon appareil photo était un cybershot sony...la capacité mémoire des cartes mémory stick( celle conservée, la moins ancienne était de 256 Mb.....et coutait très cher à l'époque......d'où la nécessité d'enregistrer des formats légers.....) certains clichés ne sont donc pas à la Top qualité ....

I make this image public for getting an impression of the AVIF format (can be opened in the latest IrfanView, Chrome and Firefox): Link to AVIF in Google Drive
The AVIF image compression (in the HEIF container) is a very promising format as it provides good image quality in a very small package and is (in comparison to HEIC) free of any licenses. I hope Flickr as well as Google and Microsoft products will soon have full support for this innovation.
Besides the high compression efficiency the big advantage over JPEG is that a color depth per channel of 10 and even 12 bit is supported.
The uploaded JPEG is about 17MB in size, the AVIF 1.9MB.
This sample is generated using the avifenc.exe command line encoder for windows.
I used this parameters:
avifenc.exe --cicp 2/2/1 -r limited -y 420 -j 6 --min 30 --max 40 --minalpha 30 --maxalpha 40 in.png out.avif
The result is:
- 6 threads used (for my 6 CPU cores)
- to colorspace YUV420 (422 and 444 is not supported by the Windows AV1 extension)
- 12 bit per channel

In the image we see a young male of Calopteryx haemorrhoidalis and we know this because the wings and the whitish tones of the thorax and captaphore sutures have not yet darkened, which when adult will be carmine.

Die Pflanze stammt aus dem östlichen Mittelmeerraum. Der Samen kann als Nahrungsmittel sowie zur Ölgewinnung verwendet werden. Die kugeligen Kapselfrüchte enthalten hunderte Samen. Die relativ kleinen Samen sind nierenförmig, hart, erhaben netzartig geadert und grubig vertieft.
Die ölhaltigen, angenehm und nussig duftenden Samen des Schlafmohns werden als Lebensmittel vor allem für Süßspeisen, Gebäck oder damit bestreute Brötchen verwendet: Mohnkuchen, Mohnstrudel, Mohnpielen, Mohnzelten, Germknödel oder Mohnbrötchen, Mohnstangen und ähnliches. Quelle. Wikipedia

This evening the sunset is one of those that had to be photographed. Spread out above the West Welsh hills, a carpet of fire glowing orange and red as far as the eye and my camera could see. Photographed in 16:9 format and then cropped slightly.
