"Dominated by the imposing form of the emblematic Château-Gaillard Castle, the small town of Les Andelys, made up of two neighbourhoods that were once clearly separated, Petit-Andely and Grand-Andely, occupies one of the most remarkable sites in the Seine Valley.
Built in 1196 - in just one year! - by Richard the Lionheart, Duke of Normandy and King of England, with the aim of keeping watch over the valley and protecting the city of Rouen from the attacks of the King of France Philip Augustus, the hillside remains of the impressive medieval fortress of Château-Gaillard offer a superb view of the meanders of the Seine, flanked by limestone cliffs, and the picturesque riverbank of Petit-Andely. Take a tour of the premises to discover the lower courtyard (open all year), the upper courtyard (open to the public from mid-March to mid-November), where the main keep stands, as well as the history of the fortress, including the famous siege and capture of the castle by Philip Augustus in 1203-1204, which later signalled Normandy's attachment to France.
Beneath the fortress, be sure to take a stroll along the banks of Petit-Andely, along the pleasant walkway by the Seine!
Also worth seeing is the Collegiate Church of Our Lady in the Grand-Andely district, a beautiful Flamboyant Gothic and Renaissance-style edifice, which contains splendid stained glass windows from the 16th century, an Entombment and a magnificent Renaissance organ case made of carved wood."

My good buddy, Alan Cressler, and I recently visited a remote site in Clay County, Alabama for an Alabama endemic, Spigelia marilandica "candy-stripe" form. The common name for the species is Indian Pink. There are only two sites for this rare, unusually colored form, and they are both in Alabama.
For a discussion of the varied forms of this species which I've had the privilege to photograph, please go to Jim's Blog.

Desde hace mucho tiempo al ganadero le ha inquietado la forma de cómo conseguir que sus animales sean tan productivos como rentables, una muestra de esto es el trabajo que se realizó desde 1800 en la Isla de Saint Croix cuando se importaron ejemplares de la raza N`Dama (Bos Taurus) provenientes de Senegal que se caracterizan por llevar más de cinco mil años de adaptación al calor y los parásitos africanos, lo cual les permitÃa desarrollarse en un medio tropical con la posibilidad de alimentarse y reproducirse en praderas con forraje de baja calidad nutritiva.
Éstos serÃan incluidos en un hato de la raza Red Poll (Bos Taurus británico con buena producción láctea) el cual presenta unas caracterÃsticas fenotÃpicas complementarias para la raza originaria del Oeste Africano, como tallaje pequeño con estructura marcada en forma de barril y patas cortas, ausencia de cuernos, ya que proviene de un cruce donde el gen dominante es ser topo y color rojo entre otras.
Para la época de 1918 el Sr. Bromley Nelthrop consiguió después de un trabajo claro de lo que hoy en dÃa conocemos como Mejoramiento Genético, animales con un comportamiento de doble propósito que tienen una excelente habilidad materna, mejor fertilidad, temperamento dócil, a esto podemos agregar una excelente conversión alimenticia. Denominándoseles SENEPOL por el nombre de los orÃgenes de las razas que la componen en una proporción desconocida, completándose con una alta presión de selección.
CaracterÃsticas
En la raza Senepol se encontrarán las siguientes caracterÃsticas que son necesarias para realizar un proceso de mejoramiento del hato ganadero en Colombia:
Tolerancia al calor: el ganado Senepol siendo un Bos Taurus 100%, tiene la gran cualidad de ser tolerante al calor, pelaje corto y de color rojo, le permite evaporar rápidamente de las gotas de sudor, asà sea en pastoreo a cualquier hora del dÃa. Se ha comprobado cientÃficamente que el Senepol tiene la capacidad de tolerar climas cálidos y húmedos tropicales (79% del territorio nacional).
Precocidad sexual y fertilidad: se pueden obtener crÃas de estos animales a una edad de dos o tres años ya que esta raza presenta facilidad de detección de calores o celos, un cuello uterino más recto que facilita la inseminación, periodo de mayor actividad sexual durante las horas de la noche. Los toros Senepol son sementales vigorosos produciendo semen de alta fertilidad a partir de los 12 a 14 meses, testÃculos bien desarrollados y prepucio corto.
Habilidad materna y producción de leche: la excepcional habilidad materna y excelente producción de leche del Red Poll es evidente en las hembras Senepol.
Facilidad de parto: becerros pequeños al nacer y de buen desarrollo posterior con pesos promedios de 34 kilos al nacimiento. Son crÃas muy vigorosas.
Ausencia de cuernos: esta caracterÃstica del ganado Senepol hace innecesario el descorne facilitando el manejo de los animales.
Color rojo sólido: caracterÃstica transmisible a las progenies.
Resistencia a enfermedades e insectos: según reportes de la USDA, la raza Senepol tiene mayor respuesta inmune en comparación con otras razas. Esta resistencia es debida primordialmente por la influencia del N`Dama (Bos Taurus), además de la constante selección natural que se le aplicó al Senepol en la Isla de Saint Croix. El pelo corto (slick hair) es un medio menos propicio para garrapatas y moscas.
Docilidad: su temperamento dócil facilita su manejo, lo que incide en los porcentajes de preñez, partos y destetos.
Vigor hÃbrido: el cruce de ganado Senepol con otras razas ha dado resultados altamente satisfactorios transmitiéndose impresionantemente las caracterÃsticas propias de la raza Senepol.
Producción y calidad cárnica: en Estados Unidos hay reportes de animales Senepol en confinamiento con ganancia diaria de 1,64 kilos. En Colombia aún no existen reportes oficiales por ser una raza nueva en el paÃs, aunque la experiencia de los actuales criadores de ganado comercial con influencia de la raza Senepol, corrobora los rendimientos excelentes en canal, edad promedia al sacrifico de 23 meses con pesos promedios de 480 kilos. Por ser una raza Bos Taurus, la carne presenta mayor terneza y marmoreo.
Cruzamiento: al ser el Senepol una raza taurina adaptada al trópico se presenta como una excelente opción para utilizar en cruzamientos rotacionales o terminales con el fin de producir crÃas con alta adaptación, ganancia de peso y homogeneidad en pelaje.
Longevidad: ninguna caracterÃstica es tan significativa en la rentabilidad total de la relación vaca/ternero como la longevidad. Las vacas permanecen en producción más de 15 a 20 años.
Distribución
Después de obtener los primeros ejemplares fueron vendidos a los cuatro criadores fundadores de la SCBA (Nelthrop, Castle Nugent, Annaly Farms y Oscar Henry) Hoy en dÃa podemos decir que existen animales en Australia, Argentina, Brasil, Canadá, Panamá, Paraguay, República Dominicana, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, México, Filipinas, Zimbawe y Colombia.
HISTORIA DE LA RAZA EN COLOMBIA
En 2003 llegó la raza a Colombia proveniente de Estados Unidos y Brasil con las cuales en el paÃs ya se cuenta con más de 700 animales puros y miles de ejemplares resultado de cruces con otras razas, esto gracias a trabajos avanzados en diversas tecnologÃas reproductivas.
En abril del 2005 se creó la ASOCIACIÓN COLOMBIANA DE GANADO SENEPOL Y SUS CRUCES (ASOSENEPOL) la cual ha venido creciendo a pasos agigantados pero seguros, tanto en número de asociados como en el registro de animales puros y en programa de absorción como el certificado de cruces.

Table Mountain (Khoikhoi: Hoerikwaggo, Afrikaans: Tafelberg) is a flat-topped mountain forming a prominent landmark overlooking the city of Cape Town in South Africa, and is featured in the Flag of Cape Town and other local government insignia.[2] It is a significant tourist attraction, with many visitors using the cableway or hiking to the top. The mountain forms part of the Table Mountain National Park.
The main feature of Table Mountain is the level plateau approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) from side to side, edged by impressive cliffs. The plateau, flanked by Devil's Peak to the east and by Lion's Head to the west, forms a dramatic backdrop to Cape Town. This broad sweep of mountainous heights, together with Signal Hill, forms the natural amphitheatre of the City Bowl and Table Bay harbour. The highest point on Table Mountain is towards the eastern end of the plateau and is marked by Maclear's Beacon, a stone cairn built in 1865 by Sir Thomas Maclear for trigonometrical survey. It is 1,086 metres (3,563 ft) above sea level, about 19 metres (62 ft) higher than the cable station at the western end of the plateau.
The cliffs of the main plateau are split by Platteklip Gorge ("Flat Stone Gorge"), which provides an easy and direct ascent to the summit and was the route taken by António de Saldanha on the first recorded ascent of the mountain in 1503.[3]
The flat top of the mountain is often covered by orographic clouds, formed when a south-easterly wind is directed up the mountain's slopes into colder air, where the moisture condenses to form the so-called "table cloth" of cloud. Legend attributes this phenomenon to a smoking contest between the Devil and a local pirate called Van Hunks.[4] When the table cloth is seen, it symbolizes the contest.
Table Mountain is at the northern end of a sandstone mountain range that forms the spine of the Cape Peninsula. To the south of the main plateau is a lower part of the range called the Back Table. On the Atlantic coast of the peninsula, the range is known as the Twelve Apostles. The range continues southwards to Cape Point.

For the third year running following its great success, St. Mary’s held their creative ‘Trashion Show. Year 13 students came together for the annual event as part of their Catholic Religious Studies (CRS) programme to take a closer look at environmental issues.
The day began with a spiritual reflection where a representative from CAFOD attended and spoke to the students regarding the charity’s environmental work oversees, as well as about how their actions impact the lives of others. The students proceeded to play interactive games, further discuss environmental issues and examine Catholic teachings surrounding the matter, before making clothing out of recycled materials. The day concluded in the fashion show where students

The office building of Palais Quartier in Frankfurt. I like this perspective, because the lines look pretty interesting. Don't you think so? Do you prefer the colour version or the bw version?
BTW, this one I took in RAW mode. A colleague of mine recently encouraged me to try again. I had tried it quite some time ago and didn't really get the knack of it. This time it seems to work better. Thanks, Jarek! :-)
Das ist das Bürogebäude des Komplexes Palais Quartier in Frankfurt/Main. Ich mag diese Perspektive, weil die Linien ziemlich interessant aussehen. Findet Ihr nicht auch? Gefällt Euch die Farbvariante besser oder die Schwarz-/Weißvariante?
Ãœbrigens habe ich dieses Bild im RAW-Modus aufgenommen. Ein Kollege hat mich letztens ermutigt, es doch nochmal damit zu probieren. Es ist schon eine Weile her, dass ich es ausprobiert hatte, damals kam ich irgendwie nicht damit zurecht. Dieses Mal scheint es besser zu funktionieren. Danke, Jarek! :-)
