Stanislas Lépine (1835-1892)
Landscape
1869
Paysage
Given the very low position of the horizon in this Landscape, it is very probable that Lépine set his easel up at the waterline to paint this picture. In doing this he was following Daubigny's example who, in 1857, had a boat converted into a studio so that he could produce his sketches in the heart of the countryside and from different points of view. A viewpoint like this changes the spatial organisation of the painting, as it noticeably lowers the vanishing point.
The precision of Lépine's panoramic composition is exemplary. The foreground is given over to the water, the upper part of the canvas to the sky. From each side, the river banks and their reflections move diagonally towards a central point on the horizon.
In order to animate this severe geometry, the darker left side is cut off before reaching the theoretical central point. The other bank, more varied but also lighter, catches the light of the setting sun, revealing this area in great detail. In the section taken up by the water, several boats placed at regular intervals increase the illusion of perspective, a fundamental rule in any landscape since the Renaissance.
But although the lines of the composition conform to tradition, the colours and method of applying them, is far from classical. The light no longer unifies the surfaces, but, on the contrary, it isolates basic units that have their own colour and their own tone. Thus, in the wavelets in the foreground, one can see many shades of blue, as well as greens and browns. Furthermore, Lépine's technique, applying the paint with the tip of the brush, brings out the transience of the moment throughout the picture.
A few years later, the future Impressionist painters would look at paintings like these, and bring totally innovative developments to this still-hesitant experimentation.

When we visited the Musee D'Orsay in September, 2016, we had less than 90 minutes to actually view the collection, so I concentrated on the Impressionist works on the top floor:

When we returned to Paris in May, 2017, I made sure to cover the floors and areas of the Museum that I had missed on my first trip.
Since the D'Orsay owns many more top flight paintings and sculptures than it has room to show at any one time, and lends many works to other institutions, there were many works of art on display in May that had not been there the previous September, so there is little overlap between the two albums.
I also have a separate album about the special exhibition - "Beyond the Stars -The Mystical Landscape from Monet to Kandinsky (Au-dela des Etoiles - Le Paysage Mystique de Monet a Kandinsky)":

This regarding the taxonomy of SA (Terrestrial ) Orchids in an electronic publication given me by Bob Bates, who indicated that it could be shared.
I will add this information to all the orchid photos that I publish here, from SA.
"Foreword:
In the past there have been several books and pamphlets dealing with South Australian orchids, the first of these was Dr RS Rogers’ ‘Introduction to South Australian Orchidology’ in 1909 which had previously appeared in series form in that wonderful kiddie journal the Children’s Hour. Rogers only mentions about 50 species. Rogers’ book was upgraded in 1911 and most school libraries had copies for the next 60 years. These books enthused many school children to send orchids they found to Rogers and inspired others to invent common names of their own.
The orchids were next treated in detail in JM Black’s ‘Flora of South Australia’ (1929) which listed less than a hundred species.
Harold Goldsack in the 1950’s treated a similar number in the National Parks of South Australia handbook and in the 1960’s. South Australian Maynard G. Pocock of Adelaide included many SA species in his ‘Ground Orchids of Australia’.
In Flora of South Australia 3rd edit., vol 1 (1976) Weber and Bates treated less than 150 species while Foreman’s book on South Australian orchids in the early 1980’s had even less.
The first really comprehensive book on South Australian orchids was Bates and Weber’s ‘Orchids of South Australia’ which appeared in 1990 and suggested that there may have been more than 150 species of orchid in SA. With a wave of new species published since then and numerous name changes, the above ‘Pink book’ is very outdated today, hence this interim electronic OSA.
We are hopeful that David Jones will name most of the species awaiting publication and follow that up with a new book on our SA orchids. In the meantime many new species have appeared in Jones’ ‘Native Orchids of Australia’ which appeared in September 2006. This treats all known Aussie species. The most recent orchid book, Australian Orchid Research Vol 5 (March 2007) validates 15 new South Australian orchids.
The majority of Eastern Australian publications today, other than State Herbarium sponsored ones use the new segregate genera but we do so here with some reservations. "

The CPMR’s Intermediterranean Commission (IMC) has given its full backing to key plans for a territorial alliance aimed at developing a long-term strategy to build a sustainable future for all citizens in the Mediterranean.
The ‘Mediterranean Cooperation Alliance Joint Declaration’ was signed by political representatives from 5 Mediterranean organisations - including the IMC, the Euroregion Pyrénées-Méditerranée (EPM), MedCities, Latin Arc, and the Adriatic-Ionian Euroregion - at a major international seminar on ‘The Future of the Mediterranean Region after 2020’, held in Barcelona on 4 February being co-organized by the Catalan Government, the EPM and the IMC and attended by more than 200 participants.
This event and signature were performed in the broader framework of the “Mediterranean Catalonia Forum,” that focused on reinforcing the importance of the Mediterranean worldwide and the crucial role of regional cooperation in the EU and Euro-Mediterranean agenda and policies.
It was held back-to-back with the renewal of the Presidency of the Euroregion Pyrénées-Méditerranée, from the Government of Catalonia to the Balearic Islands, and the organisation of the CPMR Intermediterranean Commission Political Bureau.
The signature of the “Mediterranean Cooperation Alliance” was attended in particular by politicians of all the involved networks and will remain open for other key actors to endorse it in the future.
Its priorities, among others, are as follows:
• The demands that governing institutions – considering the post-2020 horizon and the two next programming periods – work harder towards the implementation and integration of emerging sea basin, macro-regional strategies and other connected initiatives and cooperation instruments, so as to build a common, more cohesive sustainable and co-owned Mediterranean macro-region involving all the territorial actors;
• Structuring a strong and operational multi-level and multi-stakeholder network, in order to work – together with EU and Euro-Mediterranean Institutions - in a more integrated way in the long run, to design and develop common projects and to support policies based on capitalization of results (e.g. from the Interreg MED Thematic Communities);
• Offering firm support to cooperation at political and technical levels between regional and local stakeholders in the EU, the IPA countries and non-European Mediterranean partner countries, as well as among all the components of the four helix: public and private sector, academia and non-governmental organizations/civil society.

The annual BHAA Government Services/Social Protection Group's 5 Mile Road Race took place on Tuesday 28th May 2013 at 20:00 in Dunboyne, Co. Meath, Ireland. The course is a fast flat course which begins on the Dunboyne-Maynooth Road between the two entrances to Dunboyne Castle Estate. The race then proceeds in an anti-clockwise direction back to the Dunboyne Athletic Club on the Rooske Road in Dunboyne. The race reaches higher standards with every passing year. Paul Gorey and his team of volunteers must be given great credit for putting on such a wonderful race event. Thanks are also extended to Dunboyne Athletic Club, the BHAA, and the local community who all make this possible.
This photograph is part of a large set of photographs taken at the finish line area of the race. There are also some races of the buildup and the start of the race.
Overall Race Summary
Participants: There were approximately 500 participants .
Weather: A bright sunny evening with little breeze
Course: This course is fully left handed with very little in the way of inclines. Good road surface. These are nice narrow country roads with shelter provided by mature hedgerows. This year the race finished with 3/4 of a lap of the Dunboyne AC track.
Refreshments: Lots and lots as is the tradition with BHAA Events - served outside the scouts hall at the track.

Can I use the photograph with the watermark?
Yes! Absolutely - you can post this photograph to your social networks, blogs, micro-blogging, etc.
How can I get a full resolution, no watermark, copy of these photographs?
All of the photographs here on this Flickr set have a visible watermark embedded in them. All of the photographs posted here on this Flickr set are available, free, at no cost, at full resolution WITHOUT watermark. We take these photographs as a hobby and as a contribution to the running community in Ireland. Our only "cost" is our request that if you are using these images: (1) on social media sites such as Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, Twitter,LinkedIn, Google+, etc or (2) other websites, web multimedia, commercial/promotional material that you provide a link back to our Flickr page to attribute us. This also extends the use of these images for Facebook profile pictures. In these cases please make a separate wall or blog post with a link to our Flickr page. If you do not know how this should be done for Facebook or other social media please email us and we will be happy to help suggest how to link to us.
Please email petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com with the links to the photographs you would like to obtain a full resolution copy of. We also ask race organisers, media, etc to ask for permission before use of our images for flyers, posters, etc. We reserve the right to refuse a request.
In summary please remember - all we ask is for you to link back to our Flickr set or Flickr pages. Taking the photographs and preparing them for online posting does take a significant effort. We are not posting photographs to Flickr for commercial reasons. If you really like what we do please spread the link around, send us an email, leave a comment beside the photographs, send us a Flickr email, etc.
If you would like to contribute something for your photograph(s)?
Some people offer payment for our photographs. We do not charge for these photographs. We take these photographs as our contribution to the running community in Ireland. If you feel that the photograph(s) you request are good enough that you would pay for their purchase from other photographic providers we would suggest that you can provide a donation to any of the great charities in Ireland who do work for Cancer Care or Cancer Research in Ireland.
I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

Desert rose is the colloquial name given to rosette formations of crystal clusters of gypsum or baryte which contain abundant included sand grains.[1] The 'petals' are crystals flattened on the c crystallographic axis, fanning open in radiating flattened crystal clusters.
The rosette crystal habit tends to occur when the crystals form in arid sandy conditions,[1] such as the evaporation of a shallow salt basin. Gypsum roses usually have better defined, sharper edges than baryte roses. Celestine and other bladed evaporite minerals may also form rosette clusters.[1]
The desert rose may also be known by the names: sand rose, rose rock, selenite rose, gypsum rose and baryte (barite) rose.
She was Caddie's sister. They would follow each other around when they weren't following me. She was my companion for close to 15 years. She new when it was time for bed and would come get me every night. She would cuddle and sleep next to me every night and she would sit in the window next to the computer and keep me company when she wasn't laying on my bed. I am so going to miss her. She was a good girl. RIP Gordo April 1999 to October 7, 2011

Catholic Schools Week 2009: Students to celebrate service during statewide gathering
During any given week you’ll find Catholic school students visiting nursing homes, tutoring youngsters or serving meals at the Society of St. Vincent de Paul dining room.
What began as a requirement for Catholic school students has quickly become a way of life, school administrators say.
Catholic Schools Week, an annual event celebrating faith and education, reflects that commitment to service in this year’s theme, “Catholic Schools Celebrate Service.” The weeklong celebration takes place Jan. 25-31.
“If we work with them when they enter our schools, it often makes a huge difference in them understanding service,” said MaryBeth Mueller, superintendent of Catholic schools for the diocese.
In addition to a week filled with activities for students, their families and educators at their respective schools, there is also a diocesan-wide spelling bee, a Mass at Ss. Simon and Jude Cathedral followed by a rally at the state Capitol.
