La Grande Fontaine, aussi nommée Fontaine Moussue existait déjà au xvie siècle. Ce n'est qu'après la Seconde Guerre mondiale que les concrétions calcaires, puis la mousse et la végétation se sont développées, lui donnant ainsi la forme d'un champignon. Malgré un climat tempéré, il arrive que des stalactites se forment lorsqu'il gèle.
Elle est la mascotte de la ville.
La place où elle se trouve s'est successivement appelée : Place des Arbres, Place de la Grande Fontaine, et, plus récemment, Place Crousillat.

Delle forme particolari di aggressività vanno considerate pure l’impertinenza e l’ironia. L’ostilità si maschera con il sarcasmo; si fa intendere di non attribuire il giusto peso alle parole o si invita ad afferrare il contrario di quanto si è proferito. Il vero messaggio si nasconde sotto il tono di voce e dietro l’umorismo.
Christine and I decided we would both use apples a prop and see what we each would come up with. Here is mine, stay tuned for hers!
A subject that I am forever fascinated about are the ways in which we as humans are not so very different from our surroundings. In this photo I am portraying a form rather than submitting to an identity. I am a piece of food, I am an apple, I am nothing more than another figure in the formation.
Yo, hold up, hold up, hold up, okay, hold up
You see a bad bitch coming through, yo, what's the hold up?
I'm in that new new, me and New New when I roll up
I tell the valet, "Park my Benz and bring the Rolls up"
Yo, hold up, hold up, hold up, okay, hold up
“Charlestown grew out of the small fishing village of West Polmear, which consisted of a few cottages and three cellars, in which the catch of pilchards were processed. The population amounted to nine fishermen and their families in 1790. Before the harbour was built, trading vessels landed and loaded on the beach. Charles Rashleigh, who moved to Duporth Manor, just outside the village, used plans prepared by John Smeaton to begin the construction of a harbour and dock in 1791. After building the outer pier, he excavated a natural inlet to form the main dock and a shipyard at its inner end that was demolished when the dock was extended. The first dock gates were completed in 1799. To maintain water levels in the dock, a leat was constructed, which brought water from the Luxulyan Valley, some 6.4 km away.”
The Himalayas, or Himalaya, form a mountain range in Asia separating the plains of the Indian subcontinent from the Tibetan Plateau.
The Himalayan range has many of the Earth's highest peaks, including the highest, Mount Everest. The Himalayas include over fifty mountains exceeding 7,200 metres (23,600 ft) in elevation, including ten of the fourteen 8000m peaks. By contrast, the highest peak outside Asia – Aconcagua, in the Andes – is 6,961 metres (22,838 ft) tall.
The Himalayan range is bordered on the northwest by the Karakoram and Hindu Kush ranges, on the north by the Tibetan Plateau, and on the south by the Indo-Gangetic Plain. The Himalayas are distinct from the other great ranges of central Asia, although sometimes the term Himalaya is loosely used to include the Karakoram and some of the other ranges. The Himalayas – inhabited by 52.7 million people – are spread across five countries: India, Nepal, Bhutan, China and Pakistan, with the first three countries having sovereignty over most of the range. Some of the world's major rivers, the Indus, the Ganges, and the Tsangpo-Brahmaputra, rise in the Himalayas, and their combined drainage basin is home to roughly 600 million people. The Himalayas have profoundly shaped the cultures of the Indian subcontinent; many Himalayan peaks are sacred in Hinduism and Buddhism.
Lifted by the subduction of the Indian tectonic plate under the Eurasian Plate, the Himalayan mountain range runs, west-northwest to east-southeast, in an arc 2,400 kilometres (1,500 mi) long.
Monaco, en forme longue la principauté de Monaco, en monégasque Principatu de Mu̍negu, est un État d'Europe de l'Ouest,
Elle est située au bord de la mer Méditerranée, le long de la Côte d'Azur, à une vingtaine de kilomètres à l’est de Nice, et à 8,1 km de Menton, ville frontalière avec l'Italie.
Entourée par les villes françaises de Cap-d'Ail, Beausoleil, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin et La Turbie, la principauté dispose d'un accès direct à la mer et d'eaux territoriales rejoignant les eaux internationales ; elle n'est donc pas un territoire enclavé à proprement parler.
"Forming and breaking in the sky,
I fancy all shapes are there;
Temple, mountain, monument, spire;
Ships rigged out with sails of fire,
And blown by the evening air."

"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."
Bermeo. Vizcaya. País Vasco.
Este paraje, situado a medio camino entre las localidades de Bakio y Bermeo, tiene algo que atrapa.
La escarpada y larga escalera que une la isla con tierra es todo un reto, existen diferentes versiones sobre su número real de escalones, pero todo el mundo está de acuerdo en que el ascenso merece la pena.
Al final de la escalinata podrás posar tu pie sobre la huella que según dicen dejó allí San Juan Bautista, trae buena suerte. En lo alto te espera una pintoresca ermita y sobre todo unas espectaculares vistas al bravo mar Cantábrico que ha tallado en la isla, acantilados, túneles y arcos imposibles.
Gaztelugatxe ha sido escenario de piratas, aquelarres y leyendas y no es casualidad que acumule títulos de “maravilla más votada” o enclave “más valorado” por viajeros de todo el mundo.
El rito de tocar la campana tres veces
Una vez arriba no olvides tocar la campana de la ermita tres veces y pedir un deseo, antiguamente lo hacían para pedir fertilidad y ahuyentar malos espíritus o dolores de cabeza. La campana está tan a mano que tocarla es una actividad que engancha a mayores y pequeños.
Recuerda llevar ropa y calzado cómodo. En otoño o primavera la isla estará tranquila y podrás saborear mejor su misticismo y belleza. En verano no te resistirás a un baño en las pequeñas playas de piedras que se forman al pie de la escalinata. Gaztelugatxe es una maravilla natural a la que sin duda querrás volver.

Mountains are formed by the upward thrust of tectonic plates, and that is why the highest mountains in the world are all relatively new. If there was no movement of the earth's crust the surface would be flat, as water and weather eroded it over time.
Old mountains like Ben Lomond are constantly breaking down. A great deal of this occurred at the end of the last Ice Age as the glacier on top of the mountain melted away and dragged rocks over the side with it.
Here we see a pyramidal pile of rocks - all formed naturally as they rolled down the mountainside and came to rest in this spot. I have used sepia here to convey something of age.
Chapelle en forme de croix latine, avec un seul transept, contenue dans l'enclos monastique. La nef et la façade principale remontent au XVIe siècle, avec ogives et sculptures. Le transept est séparé de la nef par une colonne qui possédait un chapiteau sculpté rappelant le style de l'architecture lombarde, détruit. Au Moyen-Age, s'y rassemblaient les pèlerins désirant rejoindre Rocamadour ou Compostelle à pied.. La chapelle Sainte-Anne avait de plus cette particularité d’être associée à un hospice, attesté dès le début du XVe siècle qui accueillait malades et pèlerins, notamment ceux du Tro Breiz qui venaient de franchir au bas de la rue de l’Église, le carrefour des Sept Saints. Une ouverture pratiquée dans le mur ouest permettait aux malades d’entendre et de participer aux messes célébrées dans la chapelle.
Thunderstorms in the upper Midwest of the US this year have been returning to what was once their typical behavior. Fueled by the waning heat of a rapidly retreating sunset, ordinary clouds suddenly boil over into massive, powerful thunderheads within a few minutes due to cooler air as night approaches. This leads to spectacular summer cloud-watching displays. My neighbors and I emerge from our homes to enjoy the enormous forms swirling above us, lit in almost theatrical splendor. The final display of solar rays illuminating faraway mountains of water vapor is, for us, unequaled in beauty.
Threat of a storm above with leaden summer skies. Underneath these grasses and assorted plants just hold their own and regardless of what comes from the sky soon I am sure they will still be here tomorrow, fragile as they seem!
Artwork by Dutch artist Bob Bonies (b. 1937). Was an exhibition in Kunstmuseum The Hague. The monochrome planes of colour in his paintings are nothing other than what they appear to be: colour and form.
