In the maze of narrow streets and staircases of Saorge, your eye will stop here and there on the picturesque architectural details: lintels, vaulted porches, sundials, fountains and wash murals and friezes rustic paintings.
The Inca fortress of Ollantaytambo impresses with its dimmensions and its high terraces.
It was under construction for decades at the peak of the Inca Empire, but was never completed due to the Spanish invasion.
In the 16th century, Ollantaytambo was one of the most important places of Inca resistance to the Spanish under the Inca emperor Manco Capac II, who had fled there after failing to recapture Cuzco.
The Spaniards were defeated when they tried to seize the city.
Later, Manco Capac abandoned Ollantaytambo to take refuge in Vilcacamba in the heart of the jungle where an independent Inca kingdom remained during more than thirty years.

Une forteresse Inca impressionnante !
La forteresse Inca d'Ollantaytambo impressionne par ses dimensions et ses hautes terrasses.
Elle fut en construction pendant des dizaines d'années à l'apogée de l'empire Inca, mais ne fut jamais terminée en raison de l'invasion espagnole.
Au 16ème siècle, Ollantaytambo fut un des hauts lieux de la résistance des Incas aux Espagnols sous l'empereur Inca Manco Capac II qui s'y était réfugié après avoir échoué à reprendre Cuzco.
Les Espagnols y furent défaits lorsqu'ils tentèrent de s'emparer de la ville.
Plus tard, Manco Capac abandonna Ollantaytambo pour se réfugier à Vilcacamba au cœur de la jungle où subsista un royaume Inca indépendant pendant plus d'une trentaine d'années.

Black Redstart
This is an image of the female at the second site I have been monitoring for many weeks. This year she has had two broods (a first record for Manchester). I think she had not less than three chicks fledge in the first brood. I watched one get predated by a magpie which was not pleasant to watch. She had three chicks in her second brood and they all survived and became independant. Whilst the bird is not affected by my close presence I took this image by lying under some draping Buddleia plants and I thought shooting through them would help give an intimate/secret-world feel. I did not quite pull it off. I am thankfull I did not get stung by bees or wasps of which there were many.

Smudge came to us back in April time as a 12 month rescue 'too hot' to handle by his previous owner,. Quite untrained and rather reactive (in terms of chase) but with a lovely nature. He's what you might call 'very independant, with his own agenda, wherever that may take him! .. which is rather a worry should he get off the long line which he's done only once and disappeared ending up in the middle of nowehere wrapped round a tree! .. he's now gps'ed !! He's going to take a while to bond where I become the centre of his stage I feel, we're getting there slowly . He's also not understanding yet of the 'black clicky box' that his hooman carries round with him so getting any posed shots is more by luck than anything else :) He is good mind, like in this shot, of standing still and looking off into the distance straining to scent, hear or indeed see something that becomes his next job!! ... but I love him :)

Puteaux_La Défense_Tours Kupka_France
Building named after František Kupka.
František Kupka (23 September 1871 – 24 June 1957), also known as Frank Kupka or François Kupka,[1] was a Czech painter and graphic artist. He was a pioneer and co-founder of the early phases of the abstract art movement and Orphic Cubism (Orphism).[2] Kupka's abstract works arose from a base of realism, but later evolved into pure abstract art.
Education
František Kupka was born in Opočno (eastern Bohemia) in Austria-Hungary in 1871. From 1889 to 1892, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. At this time, he painted historical and patriotic themes. Kupka enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, where he concentrated on symbolic and allegorical subjects. He was influenced by the painter and social reformer Karl Wilhelm Diefenbach (1851–1913) and his naturistic life-style. Kupka exhibited at the Kunstverein, Vienna, in 1894. His involvement with theosophy and Eastern philosophy dates from this period. By spring 1894, Kupka had settled in Paris; there he attended the Académie Julian briefly and then studied with Jean-Pierre Laurens at the École des Beaux-Arts.[4][5]
World War I
Kupka served as a volunteer in the First World War, and is mentioned in La Main coupée by Blaise Cendrars. Cendrars describes him as a "proud soldier, calm, placid, strong"... but really too old to be a soldier, being at least 25 years older than the rest. When the regiment set out from Paris for the front in Picardy (they marched all the way on foot) Mme Kupka met the column as they arrived at the La Défense roundabout, near where they lived. She marched with them, carrying her husband's bag and his rifle. She would have marched all the way to the front, but at the end of the first day the colonel had her arrested and sent back to Paris. She later made her way to the front lines to spend time with her husband. Kupka himself left the front due to frostbite in the foot, caused by nights in the trenches waist-deep in freezing water.[6]
Career
Amorpha, Fugue en deux couleurs (Fugue in Two Colors), oil on canvas, 210 × 200 cm, 1912, Narodni Galerie
Kupka worked as an illustrator of books and posters and, during his early years in Paris, became known for his satirical drawings for newspapers and magazines. In 1906, he settled in Puteaux, a suburb of Paris, and that same year exhibited for the first time at the Salon d'Automne. Kupka was deeply impressed by the first Futurist Manifesto, published in 1909 in Le Figaro. Kupka's 1909 painting Piano Keyboard/Lake marked a break in his representational style. His work became increasingly abstract around 1910–11, reflecting his theories of motion, color, and the relationship between music and painting (orphism). In 1911, he attended meetings of the Puteaux Group (Section d'Or). In 1912, he exhibited his Amorpha. Fugue à deux couleurs, at the Salon des Indépendants in the Cubist room, although he did not wish to be identified with any movement. Creation in the Plastic Arts, a book Kupka completed in 1913, was published in Prague in 1923.[7]
The Salon d'Automne of 1912, held in Paris at the Grand Palais from 1 October to 8 November. Kupka's Fugue in Two Colors is exhibited on the left. Other works are shown by Jean Metzinger (Dancer in a Café), Joseph Csaky (Groupe de femmes), Francis Picabia (La Source), Amedeo Modigliani (sculptures) and Henri Le Fauconnier (Mountaineers Attacked by Bears).
In 1931, he was a founding member of Abstraction-Création. In 1936, his work was included in the exhibition Cubism and Abstract Art at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, and in an important show with another Czech painter, Alphonse Mucha, at the Jeu de Paume in Paris. A retrospective of his work took place at the Galerie Mánes in Prague in 1946. The same year, Kupka participated in the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles, where he continued to exhibit regularly until his death. During the early 1950s, he gained general recognition and had several solo shows in New York.
Between 1919 and 1938 Kupka was financially supported by his good friend, art collector and industrialist Jindřich Waldes who accumulated a substantial collection of his art. Kupka died in 1957 in Puteaux, France.

In Greek mythology, Cerberus (Greek: Κέρβερος Kérberos [ˈkerberos]), often referred to as the hound of Hades, is a multi-headed dog that guards the gates of the Underworld to prevent the dead from leaving. He was the offspring of the monsters Echidna and Typhon, and was usually described as having three heads, a serpent for a tail, and snakes protruding from multiple parts of his body. Cerberus is primarily known for his capture by Heracles, one of Heracles' twelve labours.
Though totally deaf Hermione is the most active of the crew; super sensitive to light and periferal movement. She is also the most independant and perhaps the sweetest of our crew.
À l'abri dans une tanière de neige, la femelle met au monde ses oursons durant l'hiver, les protégeant du froid extrême grâce à sa chaleur corporelle. Au printemps, elle guide ses petits vers la banquise pour leur apprendre les rudiments de la chasse au phoque, essentiels à leur survie. Mère dévouée, elle fait preuve d'une vigilance constante pour les protéger des prédateurs et des mâles adultes. Durant deux ans, elle leur transmet son savoir avant qu'ils ne deviennent indépendants dans l'immensité de l'Arctique. Ce lien maternel puissant est le pilier de la perpétuation de l'espèce dans un environnement de plus en plus fragile.
Sheltered in a snow den, the female polar bear gives birth to her cubs during the winter, protecting them from the extreme cold with her body heat. In the spring, she guides her cubs to the sea ice to teach them the basics of seal hunting, essential for their survival. A devoted mother, she maintains constant vigilance to protect them from predators and adult males. For two years, she passes on her knowledge before they become independent in the vastness of the Arctic. This powerful maternal bond is the cornerstone of the species' survival in an increasingly fragile environment.
Little Missy...not so little anymore....since becoming a big sister she has grown into a full grown big Missy. She has the best little personality...calm...never aggressive (even with strangers coming into her house)...has not been a bother since a little kitten...gentle and now very independant. It took her a bit but she has taken on her little brother with a bit of trepidation...they're not at the stage I would love them to be but the do play tackle together). We will get there.

Le pont de Wandre relie, en enjambant la Meuse et le canal Albert, Herstal à Liège. Conçu par le bureau d’études René Greisch, il remplace deux ponts indépendants – un sur chaque voie d’eau – devenus obsolètes suite à la mise au gabarit du canal Albert, dont la largeur est passée de 35 à 85 m. Cet ouvrage, inauguré en 1989, vaudra une distinction au bureau qui l’a imaginé, outre une indéniable reconnaissance internationale.
Long de 524 m, le pont est un ouvrage haubané à pylône central unique d’une hauteur de 102 m, réalisé en béton armé et précontraint. Les travées principales ont une portée de 168 m (Meuse) et 144 m (canal Albert) et sont suspendues au pylône en Y renversé par 19 haubans (entre 73 et 175 m de longueur espacés tous les 6 m au niveau du tablier). La travée d’approche de la rive gauche est désolidarisée du reste et courbe afin de palier d’éventuels tassements dus à la présence d’anciens puits de mine.
La mise en œuvre adoptée a maintenu l’utilisation continue des axes routiers et fluviaux, si bien qu’une grande partie du tablier a été réalisée sur la rive gauche et mise en position par poussage, une technique inédite pour les ponts haubanés. Cette première architecturale mondiale est adéquatement rehaussée par un éclairage de nuit mis en place dès la conception.
Depuis 1993, le pont de Wandre est classé monument du patrimoine historique majeur de Belgique.
The Wandre bridge links, by spanning the Meuse and the Albert canal, Herstal to Liège. Designed by the René Greisch design office, it replaces two independent bridges - one on each waterway - which had become obsolete following the upgrading of the Albert Canal, whose width was reduced from 35 to 85 m. This work, inaugurated in 1989, will be worth a distinction to the office which imagined it, in addition to an undeniable international recognition.
The 524 m long bridge is a cable-stayed structure with a single central pylon, 102 m high, made of reinforced and prestressed concrete. The main spans have a span of 168 m (Meuse) and 144 m (Albert canal) and are suspended from the Y pylon overturned by 19 stay cables (between 73 and 175 m in length spaced every 6 m at the level of the deck). The approach span to the left bank is separated from the rest and curved to compensate for any settlements due to the presence of old mine shafts.
The implementation adopted maintained the continuous use of the road and river axes, so much so that a large part of the deck was carried out on the left bank and put into position by pushing, a new technique for cable-stayed bridges. This world architectural first is adequately enhanced by night lighting implemented from the design stage.
Since 1993, the Wandre bridge has been classified as a major historical heritage monument in Belgium.
Nuclecstasy
While and when
seeking the core of senses,
the nucleus of flashes,
the pith of a posture or
the gold jar,
and even more
the skeleton itself,
It must to be realized
that the scratches on the surface
tell little about the content.

Badlands Record shop (www.badlands.co.uk/) is a long established independent record shop in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. It was founded in 1986 and in our current world of chain stores and internet shopping, it's really great to see an independant flourishing.
Nothing nicer than taking a bath and shower together. I so enjoy to take photos with you and our independant results are sometimes really stunning :)

Photo : L’église St.-Georges, à Orival, en Seine Maritime, occupe un site des hautes falaises qui bordent la Seine dont il domine toute la vallée. Cette église à la particularité d’être semi-troglodytique, comme d’ailleurs beaucoup des demeures occupant ce site. Le pittoresque clocher est indépendant du reste de l’église car construit sur un rocher au-dessus de l'édifice. Sa fondation remonte au XIIe siècle, mais la majeure partie des murs actuels témoigne d’un remaniement au XVIe siècle. En 1788, on décide d'agrandir l'église ce qu’on fait en creusant dans la falaise sur une surface de 250 m2.

Foto: Orival (Sena Marítimo, Normandía). La iglesia de Orival, en el departamento frances del Sena Marítimo y dedicada a San Jorge, ocupa un lugar especialmente encaramado en los altos acantilados que bordean el Sena, desde donde domina todo el valle. Esta iglesia tiene la particularidad de ser semitroglodítita, como muchas de las residencias que ocupan este sitio. El pintoresco campanario es independiente del resto de la iglesia pues está construido sobre una roca al lado el edificio. Su fundación se remonta al siglo XII, pero la mayoría de los muros actuales son testigos de una remodelación en el siglo XVI. En 1788 se decidió ampliar la iglesia, lo que se hizo excavando en el acantilado en una superficie de 250 m2.
The passages of unpainted canvas in the sky suggest that the artist was unable to finish this painting before he took his own life in late July 1890. In spring 1891, the work was included in the Salon des Indépendants in Paris, listed with the title Village (Dernière esquisse). Esquisse, French for "sketch," indicates that the work was recognized at the time as either unfinished or as a preparatory stage for a final picture that was never realized.

Obviously, it is not like the cathedrals in the Paris region. Although it is not easy to compete with Amiens, Chartres or Reims, Saint André's heterogeneous style is nevertheless unexpected and endearing, especially because of its freestanding belltower. Eleanor of Aquitaine and Louis VII, the future king of France, were married here 1137, as were Anne of Austria and Louis XIII.
C’est évident, elle n’a pas l’allure des cathédrales d’Ile de France. Difficile pour elle de concurrencer Amiens, Chartres ou Reims, cependant son aspect hétérogène a quelque chose d’inattendu et d’attachant notamment par son clocher indépendant. Ses murs ont vu en 1137 le mariage d’Aliénor d’Aquitaine et de Louis VII, le futur roi de France puis cinq siècles après, l’union d’Anne d’Autriche et Louis XIII.

Rouen (Franc) - J’ai connu Robin, il y a bien longtemps. C’était un jeune informaticien qui voulait devenir photojournaliste. Plusieurs tentatives en free-lance se sont soldées par des échecs. Il a dû reprendre son métiers d’origine pour vivre. Et puis il y a quelques années l'ultime tentative a été la bonne. La passion et l’opiniâtreté ont été les plus fortes.
Aujourd’hui, il diffuse ses reportages par l’intermédiaire de l’agence Sipa Presse.
La plupart du temps, il est en Afrique, particulièrement en Ouganda, pays qui lui sert de plaque tournante pour opérer sur plusieurs pays limitrophes. En ce moment, il est en France pour régler des problèmes administratifs qui lui permettront de travailler de nouveau en Ouganda. En attendant, il couvre les événements sociaux, liés à la réforme des retraites. Malgré une certaine précarité liée à son statut de journaliste indépendant, sa passion n’est plus négociable.
Chapeau l’ami !
profession reporter
Rouen (France) - I knew Robin a long time ago. He was a young computer scientist who wanted to become a photojournalist. Several attempts at freelancing have ended in failure. He had to go back to his original job to live. And then a few years ago a last attempt was the right one. Passion and stubbornness were the strongest.
Today, he broadcasts his reports through the Sipa Presse agency.
Most of the time, he is in Africa, particularly in Uganda, a country which serves as a hub for him to operate in several neighboring countries. At the moment, he is in France to settle administrative problems which will allow him to work again in Uganda. In the meantime, he covers the demonstrations linked to the pension reform. Despite a certain precariousness linked to his status as an independent journalist, his passion is no longer negotiable.

Domicile, Saint-Hippolyte, Québec.
Comme je le disais précédemment, j'ai eu beaucoup de travaux inattendus sur la nouvelle maison, principalement à l’extérieur, je laissais donc ma caméra sur le trépied non loin de où je travaillais ou sur la terrasse arrière, et quand je voyais quelque chose d'intéressant , clic… clic… clic, puisque la nouvelle technologie des nouveaux appareils permet des prises jusqu'à 30 et même plus par seconde !!! Beaucoup de triage de photos après une séance OUF … En août, les jeunes sont sortis du nid et c'est fascinant de les observer lorsqu'ils quémandent de la nourriture aux parents. Chez le Chardonneret jaune, ça semble être le père qui fait le gros du travail, et ce serait parfaitement normal puisque la femelle a fait beaucoup. Cependant, je ne peux pas affirmer cette théorie puisque c'est la première fois que j'ai l'occasion d'observer ce rituel de nourrissage des oisillons. Ici, les juvéniles sont presque complètement indépendants,mais, comme tous les ados de ce monde, ils aiment bien profiter de la générosité des parents qui doivent, à un certain point, les abandonner pour qu'ils volent de leurs propres traînes . Une des quelques 500 photos prises lors de cette séance, la suite à venir.
Home, Saint-Hippolyte, Quebec.
As I said before, I had a lot of unexpected work on the new house, mainly outside, so I left my camera on the tripod not far from where I was working or on the back terrace, and when I saw something interesting, click… click… click, since the new technology of the new cameras allows shots up to 30 and even more per second!!! Lots of sorting of photos after a session OUF… In August, the young came out of the nest, and it is fascinating to watch them when they beg for food from the parents. In the case of the American Goldfinch, it seems to be the father who does most of the work, and this would be perfectly normal since the female has done a lot. However, I cannot affirm this theory since this is the first time I have had the opportunity to observe this ritual of feeding the chicks. Here, the juveniles are almost completely independent, but, like all teenagers in this world, they like to take advantage of the generosity of their parents, who must, at a certain point, abandon them so that they can fly on their own. One of some 500 photos taken during this session, more to come.

Autre prouesse : le téléphérique traverse la vallée du Ponturin pratiquement à plat et sans pylône intermédiaire. (1824 m de longueur, 64m seulement de dénivelé. la cabine est à 380m du sol au point le plus haut).
Troisième prouesse : sa vitesse : 45km/h, record mondial. La traversée peut s'effectuer en 3 minutes 50 secondes.
La gare de départ dite "gare motrice" se trouve à Plan-Peisey, sur la commune de Peisey-Nancroix à 1612 m d'altitude.
La gare d'arrivée, dite "gare de tension" se trouve à 1548m d'altitude en amont de Montchavin, commune de Bellentre.
2 moteurs à courant continu 530kW à 1 180 tr/mn entraînent l'ouvrage. (puissance équivalente à celle d'un moteur TGV)
Le maître d'ouvrage a été LA SELALP, filiale de la Compagnie des Alpes, le maître d'oeuvre DCSA, le constructeur POMAGALSKI.
Les gares sont l'oeuvre de l'architecte B. Taillefer
La construction s'est faite dès 2003 et l'inauguration en janvier 2004.
Durant l'hiver 2007/2008, ce prototype de téléphérique a du subir des travaux d'ajustement.
En 2014 et 2015, le V-E a été totalement relooké par le célèbre créateur de mode Jean-Charles de Castelbajac pour célébrer le 10e anniversaire de Paradiski.
La technologie du Vanoise Express a été choisie par l'état de New York et confiée au constructeur Poma pour remplacer le téléphérique du Roosevelt Island Tramway reliant Manhattan à Roosevelt Island par dessus l'East River.
The extraordinary Vanoise Express Cable Car is a unique technical feat.
It is one of the biggest cable cars in the world, each of the 2 2-storey cabins can carry 200 people (Capacity: 2000 people per hour and per direction).
2 parallel and independent cable cars that flexibly manage passenger flows.
Another feat: the cable car crosses the valley of Ponturin practically flat and without intermediate pylon. (1824 m in length, only 64 m in elevation, the cabin is 380 m above ground at the highest point).
Third prowess: its speed: 45km / h, world record. The crossing can be carried out in 3 minutes 50 seconds.
The departure station called "station motrice" is located in Plan-Peisey, in the commune of Peisey-Nancroix at 1612 m altitude.
The station of arrival, called "station of tension" is located at 1548m of altitude upstream of Montchavin, commune of Bellentre.
2 DC motors 530kW at 1,180 rpm drive the structure. (Power equivalent to that of a TGV engine)
The contracting authority was LA SELALP, a subsidiary of the Compagnie des Alpes, the prime contractor DCSA, the constructor POMAGALSKI.
The stations are the work of the architect B. Taillefer
Construction was completed in 2003 and inaugurated in January 2004.
During the winter of 2007/2008, this cable car prototype had to undergo adjustment work.
In 2014 and 2015, the V-E was completely revamped by the famous fashion designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Paradiski.
The technology of the Vanoise Express was chosen by the State of New York and entrusted to the constructor Poma to replace the cable car of Roosevelt Island Tramway linking Manhattan to Roosevelt Island over the East River.
