À partir de neuf mois, des bois commencent à pousser sur la tête du mâle sous forme de pivots. À un an, ils sont visibles, et le mâle est alors appelé « daguet ». Les bois vont alors tomber chaque année (fin de l'hiver chez les cerfs âgés, début du printemps chez les jeunes) pour repousser au cours de l'été. Une enveloppe nourricière, duveteuse et irriguée de sang, assure leur croissance à la manière d'un placenta pour un fœtus. Fin juillet, le velours tombe. Paradoxe de la nature, les bois ne sont opérationnels que lorsqu'ils sont morts. Pour les dépouiller totalement puis les aiguiser en vue des prochains combats, le cerf va « frayer » en les frottant de façon répétitive aux arbres. Il mange les lambeaux de peau qui pendent aux ramures.
Les dimensions et la forme des bois varient individuellement, mais aussi selon l'âge et la sous-espèce. Contrairement à une croyance répandue, le nombre de cors n'a pas de rapport direct avec l'âge. Le premier cor se nomme andouiller de massacre, le second surandouiller.
Le bois de cerf râpé ou calciné était employé jusqu'à la fin du xixe siècle en tant qu'antidiarrhéique, les principes actifs étant la gélatine et le phosphate de calcium.

"Amo la fotografia e, soprattutto, amo la fotografia di strada, per questo motivo fotografo spesso nei luoghi pubblici in cui appaiono le persone. Nella maggior parte dei casi non chiedo il permesso di fotografare perché probabilmente cambierei le immagini che cerco di ottenere. Queste foto obbediscono sempre ad un intento culturale, estetico, artistico e / o documentaristico e in nessun caso hanno lo scopo di mostrare a nessuno una situazione che potrebbe lederne l'immagine, minacciare la loro dignità o ottenere un beneficio economico. Tutto questo non significa affatto che non mi interessi delle persone che appaiono nelle mie immagini, quindi se ti riconosci in una delle mie fotografie e questo ti infastidisce, devi solo farmelo sapere e la ritirerò immediatamente . Allo stesso modo se vuoi una copia della tua immagine su carta o in un formato che ti permetta di stamparla tu stesso , ovviamente è tua. Grazie."

Plaza de la Magdalena. En el centro la iglesia de Santa María Magdalena, una de las cumbres del mudéjar zaragozano, del siglo XIV, ha mantenido la estructura original y la torre cuadrada, realizada en ladrillo, con grandes analogías con las torres mudéjares de Teruel y que semeja los alminares almohades. Al exterior presenta tres cuerpos separados por impostas con decoración de cerámica vidriada blanca y verde.
En torno a esta plaza se articula el barrio de la “Madalena”, escrito y pronunciado así de forma oficial. Es el barrio más intercultural, alternativo y de moda en Zaragoza. Es un barrio dinámico, con centros sociales, sedes de múltiples asociaciones vecinales, artistas, bohemios, galeristas y pintores callejeros y en el que los vecinos muestran sus inquietudes culturales y musicales; además, en sus calles se puede disfrutar de un buen vermú en alguno de sus múltiples bares de tapeo. No le hace sombra al tubo, pero es una buena alternativa… y son más económicos.
"Torre de ladrillo y de cielo,
de azulejo y de ramaje,

One of a set of images produced with the assistance of math functions (not AI) where the numbers are part of a mutation of the base image into an unexpected result.
This Rock Pigeon rested for a few minutes on the railing along a walkway by the Norwalk River. I managed to get a couple of shots of the numbers and letters on the leg bands and with a bit of online research determined that this is a racing pigeon from a club in a nearby town. I sent them an email, but no response so far.
Allestito all’interno dell’Ex Palestra della Gioventù Italiana del Littorio, il Museo della Forma Urbis custodisce i frammenti superstiti di una grande planimetria di Roma incisa su 150 lastre di marmo tra il 203 e il 211 d.C., originariamente esposta sulla parete di un’aula nel Tempio della Pace, in seguito inglobata nel complesso dei SS. Cosma e Damiano. Si tratta di uno dei più rari documenti giunto a noi dall’antichità, che restituisce un panorama unico del paesaggio urbano di Roma antica. Nella sua integrità, su di una superficie di 18x13m circa erano rappresentati almeno 13.550.000 m2 di città attraverso una moltitudine di sottili incisioni che raffiguravano le planimetrie degli edifici di Roma, a una scala media di circa 1:240. Considerata la posizione, la difficile leggibilità e la generale assenza di dettagli, è probabile che la pianta marmorea avesse, più che una finalità pratica, una funzione di propaganda e di celebrazione del potere, fornendo all’osservatore una visione generale della città e dei suoi grandiosi monumenti, le cui sagome erano facilmente individuabili anche grazie all’uso del colore.
Anche se rinvenuti a centinaia, a partire dal 1562 e fino ai pezzi scoperti più di recente, i frammenti della Forma Urbis costituiscono circa un decimo della pianta originale, in uno stato di conservazione che varia da piccole schegge a settori di lastra con interi quartieri, case, portici, templi e botteghe. Solamente per circa 200 frammenti circa è stato finora possibile raggiungere un’identificazione e un’ideale collocazione sulla topografia moderna.

The Monastery, known as Blackfriars from the black cloaks the friars wore, was founded on a site west of Southgate Street, Gloucester, with the city wall adjacent to the south. It comprised a church and a quadrangle formed by such buildings as the scriptorium (library), the dormitory with its renowned scissor-braced roof and the cloisters. It was established around 1239 under the patronage of Henry III and at its height was home to 30-40 friars. Today it is one of the most complete surviving Dominican black friaries in England and owned by English Heritage.

Pancake ice is a collection of flat, circular ice discs that form on bodies of water. It can occur in lakes, rivers, and oceans.
How it forms.............
Wave action in lakes and oceans, waves cause pieces of ice to collide, which rounds their edges and freezes them together.
I have been fascinated for some time by the diversity of texture and form of the plants that grow on the roadside verges.
The problem for image creation is that all the leaves are green. However, with the latest selection tools in Photoshop it is possible to select individual leaves and treat them differently,
I am currently trying two approaches: black and white which emphasises texture; and, colour.
This is one of my first attempts using colour. I think the use of colour should allow me to illustrate the competitive nature of the enviornment.
Mes nouveaux pinceaux multicolores attendent sagement le signal de départ pour un concours de formes et de couleurs.
When it was time to setup for an evening shot, the sun was teasing me with light. Although present and to my left, it was timidly hiding behind a low cloud. It seemed to mock me with its faint glow, provoking a shot, then just as quickly hiding, as if playing some game.
However, I knew the chance for side lighting would come because the clouds had vacated the horizon. I composed the shot with the use of tiny puddles in the mud. They appear disproportionate to the scene with the lens inches away. But lead the viewer in. Then for a moment the canceled becomes the revealed, and the side lighting changes the scene, helping shapes take form.
Swallowtail, southwest France this summer. I liked the way the insect and the leaf have the same shape and pattern
Ravens and crows together form the genus Corvus in the corvid family (Corvidae). The larger representatives are referred to as "ravens", the smaller ones as "crows". However, this is not a taxonomic classification. The genus includes 42 species, which are distributed almost worldwide and are missing only in South America. In Europe, the common raven, the carrion crow (carrion crow and hooded crow) and the rook occur. As a naturalized neozoon, the crow has also been breeding in the Netherlands since the late 1990s.
Ravens and crows are among the largest species within the order of passerines: the two largest representatives of the genus are the common raven (Corvus crassirostris) and the common raven (Corvus corax), each of which has a body length of between 60 and 70 cm and a body weight of up to Can reach 1.5 kg and are therefore the largest passerine birds ever.

Raben und Krähen bilden zusammen die Gattung Corvus in der Familie der Rabenvögel (Corvidae). Die größeren Vertreter werden als „Raben“, die kleineren als „Krähen“ bezeichnet. Hierbei handelt es sich jedoch nicht um eine taxonomische Einteilung. Die Gattung umfasst 42 Arten, die fast weltweit verbreitet sind und nur in Südamerika fehlen. In Europa kommen der Kolkrabe, die Aaskrähe (Rabenkrähe und Nebelkrähe) und die Saatkrähe vor. Als eingebürgertes Neozoon brütet zudem die Glanzkrähe seit Ende der 1990er Jahre in den Niederlanden.
Raben und Krähen zählen zu den größten Arten innerhalb der Ordnung der Sperlingsvögel: Die beiden größten Vertreter der Gattung sind der Erzrabe (Corvus crassirostris) und der Kolkrabe (Corvus corax), die jeweils eine Körperlänge zwischen 60 und 70 cm und ein Körpergewicht von bis zu 1,5 kg erreichen können und damit die größten Sperlingsvögel überhaupt sind.

Not yet, still freezing temperatures. We had a little bit of sunshine today that melted the snow on the roof. I hope my Pavonia bush, on which the icicles formed, will be ok.

Our Coal Harbour home port is nestled into the shores of Stanley Park, a stone's throw from the cycling path, park trails, and downtown Vancouver - our floating restaurant there, the Mermaid Inn serves breakfast and lunch daily. The vistas over the bay from the Star & Dragon patio or the Marine Lounge's Upper Deck have given us the nickname of having the best view in Vancouver. www.royalvan.com/about

An interior view of the Western Concourse at King’s Cross Station in London, looking up into the semi circular steel and glass diagrid roof supported by a central tapered funnel and 16 branching tree-form structural steel columns.
Designed by John McAslan + Partners with Arup, the concourse opened in 2012 as the centrepiece of the station’s major redevelopment and became Europe’s largest single-span station structure at the time.
The Western Concourse is part of the transformation of the Grade I listed King’s Cross station, originally designed by Lewis Cubitt in 1852, combining restored Victorian railway architecture with a dramatic contemporary roof that acts as the new public heart of the station. The tree-like steel supports radiate across the space like a canopy, creating a sense of movement, openness and structural elegance that has made the concourse one of London’s best-known transport interiors.

And did you know
That every flake of snow
That forms so high
In the grey winter sky
And falls so far
Is a bright six-pointed star?
Each crystal grows
A flower as perfect as a rose.
Lace could never make
The patterns of a flake.
No brooch
Of figured silver could approach
Its delicate craftsmanship. And think:
Each pattern is distinct.
Of all the snowflakes floating there –
The million million in the air –
None is the same. Each star
Is newly forged, as faces are,
Shaped to its own design
Like yours and mine.
And yet… each one
Melts when its flight is done;
Holds frozen loveliness
A moment, even less;
Suspends itself in time –
And passes like a rhyme.
Snowflakes
