The Bewick's wren (Thryomanes bewickii) is a wren native to North America. It is the only species placed in the genus Thryomanes. At about 14 cm (5.5 in) long, it is grey-brown above, white below, with a long white eyebrow. While similar in appearance to the Carolina wren, it has a long tail that is tipped in white. The song is loud and melodious, much like the song of other wrens. It lives in my back yard, thickets, brush piles and hedgerows, open woodlands and scrubby areas, often near streams. It eats insects and spiders, which it gleans from vegetation or finds on the ground, and slugs from under or near the birdbath. It's a favorite, and the first wren I ever heard singing.
If you look at a range map, I'm very fortunate to have this in this part of northern California. Amazing what nature photography can do for knowledge (sometimes understanding) of the flora and fauna around us.

When Fermilab’s founding director, Robert Wilson, imagined an ideal laboratory, he wanted it to be architecturally impressive and artistically inspiring. With this in mind, he installed remarkable sculptures and designed buildings in influenced by culture, history, and physics.
Acqua Alle Funi, 1978
On the reflecting pond across from the entrance of Wilson Hall, there is a hyperbolic obelisk designed by Wilson. The name “Acqua Alle Funi” is an Italian phrase meaning “water to the ropes,” which refers to a story about an Egyptian obelisk ordered by Pope Sixtus V - considered to be a symbolic act, illustrating the triumph of Christianity over Paganism raised in St. Peter’s Square in the 16th century.
After viewing a multitude of photos of the sculpture in the enormous pond at the front entrance of Fermilab I did not see one which was a direct straight on shot. - and direct straight on image structuring is a taboo in photographic composition.
Hello ! - It's your camera and your moment so straight ahead it is!
By it's contours and it's exact center placement I believe this would be the way the designer wanted it to be best appreciated.
Oddly enough I can recall how frigid and windy it was out on the open prairie of the Fermilab compound that afternoon.
Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral
1085 De la Cathedrale Street, Montreal
The Cathedral is the third largest church in Quebec and is Catholic denomination. It was built to replace the former St. Jacques Cathedral which had burned in 1852. Work began in 1875 it was completed in 1894 and consecrated as St. James Cathedral being the patron of the parish that it served.
However in 1955 at the request of Cardinal Paul-Emile Leger it was rededicated by Pope Benedict XV to Mary, Queen of the world. There have been a number of restoration works. In 2003 the enclosed porch and esplanade were restored. Another restoration in 2005 was the work done to Bishop Ignace Bourget’s statue on the outside of the building.
The Bishop’s Mortuary was completed in 1935, this was dedicated to Bishop Bourget where lays his tomb. The walls and floors are made from Italian marble.
The Chapel of the Assumption has a beautiful wood carved altar with gold leaf decoration. There is a wonderful painting of Our Lady painted in the 17th cent by a Spanish monk (unknown). The altar itself was discovered by Rololphe Messmer, an Austrian architect in France. He donated to the cathedral in 1994.
The Ciborium which covers the altar and is located under the dome was created in Rome in 1900 by Joseph-Arthur Vincent and is a reproduction of the famous one in St. Peter’s in Rome.
The Statues which atop the roof of the Cathedral represent the thirteen parishes of Montreal and again imitate those on St. Peter’s in Rome.
There are many treasures to see whilst there, there are many paintings, beautiful stained glass window and panels. The Great Organ was built by Casavant Freres and installed in 1893. The company also did the maintenance work in the 1950’s.
A truly wonderful Cathedral to visit.
In 1862, silver and gold were discovered in the southern Baja California Sur mountains, leading miners from Mexico and the United States to rush to settle in El Triunfo in a gold rush.[4] Many of the miners had participated in the 1849 California gold rush.[4] In 1878, the mine was taken over by the British El Progreso Mining Company and became more successful. Once the largest city in Baja California Sur, it was home to more than 10,000 miners.[2] In its heyday the town was a cultural center, where Francisca Mendoza taught and performed.[5] El Triunfo was the first town in the region to install electricity and telephones.[6] Pianos and other instruments were brought to El Triunfo from around the world and a piano museum still exists.[7] When mines shut down in 1926, most of the townspeople left to look for work elsewhere.[2] The 2010 census reported a population of 327 inhabitants.[1] El Triunfo is one of the best preserved 19th and 20th century mining communities in North America and remains an important site for archaeological research.[8 - Wikipedia
So many coastal towns in the south-west of England seem to have been unable to resist the temptation to install pontoons for yachts and small boats to moor at, and in many instances this has completely spoilt the opportunity for decent photographs. This particular set, which is attached to the famous Cobb, must surely run the risk of severe damage from winter gales unless the plan is to remove them for the winter. In the background is the beautiful seaside town of Lyme Regis. This is surrounded by unstable land and cliffs, and as a result development has been severely limited. There have been numerous cliff falls, especially to the east of the town, and these invariably uncover a new treasure trove of fossils - something Lyme Regis is particularly renowned for.

Vadi új pályán suhan az 1030-as miskolci honos Szili konténervonatával Székesfehérvár irányába. A képen jól látható az 1950-es évek végén készült aszfaltbeton alépítmény, mely Velencefürdőtől egészen Dinnyés határáig (körülbelül a 474. és 550. számú szelvények között) épült. Szintén említésre méltóak még az új, 60 kg/fm sínek gerincére ragasztott zajcsökkentő elemek, melyeket az országban elsőként itt építettek be, a velencei-tavi üdülőövezet zajterhelésének csökkentése érdekében.
The 1030 "Szili" from Miskolc is sweeping on a brand new track with a container train to Székesfehérvár. The asphalt concrete substructure made at the end of the 1950s is clearly visible in the picture, which was built from Velencefürdő to the border of Dinnyés (approximately between section 474 and 550). Also worth mentioning are the new, 60 kg/track meter noise-reducing elements glued to the spine of the rails, which were installed here for the first time in the country, in order to reduce the noise load of the Lake Velence resort area.

Una splendida opera (a mio giudizio) collocata nel cortile di accesso alla villa. Sembra una scena teatrale con le quinte costituite dal colonnato del cortile. Anche le discutibili riparazioni del muro diventano involontariamente parte dell'installazione.
De la visite rare dans le coin, 2 Hiboux moyen-duc qui n'avaient pas choisi le coin le plus tranquille du parc. En effet, ils étaient bien installés chacun dans leur conifère très près du sentier. L'an dernier dans les mêmes dates un individu avait été vu à cet endroit, la nature est surprenante.
St Ives, Huntingdonshire
The St Ives settlement was developed by the monks of Ramsey Abbey who built the town's first bridge, a wooden structure, in 1107. In 1414 it was decided to replace this bridge with a stone arch bridge, which was completed in 1425, adding the bridge chapel dedicated to St Leger in 1426.
Such chapels were relatively common in medieval times and served as toll-houses,[citation needed] as well as to allow travellers to pray or to give thanks for a safe journey. They also hosted church services.
During the English Civil War the bridge was partially blown up by the troops of Oliver Cromwell to prevent King Charles I's troops approaching London from the Royalist base in Lincolnshire. The two arches on the southern side were demolished and a drawbridge installed in 1645 as a defensive measure by Cromwell's forces, who held the town. The drawbridge remained in use until 1716. When the bridge was partially rebuilt that year, the shape of the new arches was different from the surviving ones, leaving the bridge with two rounded arches on its South side and two Gothic arches on the North.
At some point, the bridge chapel fell into disuse and was for a time used as a bawdy house during the eighteenth century. St Ives was an official last stop of all the many drovers with their livestock, who descended upon St Ives for accommodation, refreshments and other relief, during what was a tiring journey to Smithfield market within London. At one time there were dozens of doss houses, inns and other bawdy houses, in and around St Ives town centre.

The bridge in 1902, before the extra stories were removed.
The chapel was restored in 1930, having previously served as a toll house, inn and as a private residence. It had been designed as a chapel, though, and dedicated by the monks to Saint Leger. By 1736 it was being used as accommodation, and in that year two extra floors were added. During the 1850s and 1860s it was turned into a notorious public house named "Little Hell", then a doctor's surgery. By 1930 the structure was found to be weakened so the extra stories were removed and the chapel restored.[ As a result, the roof is modern. An unusual feature is the crypt, about two metres above the river's water level. The bridge and the chapel are now Grade I listed and a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The chapel is still used for public worship on an occasional basis.

Bogotá, Colombia, 2600 msnm.
La capilla original se construyó en el siglo xvi, poco después de la fundación de la ciudad. Según la placa instalada en la fachada norte se inauguró en 1546, pero otras fuentes citan el año de 1575 como la fecha de sus inicios. De cualquier modo, fue una de las primeras construcciones de la ciudad.
Entre junio y noviembre de 1816 aproximadamente unos 80 próceres de la independencia de Colombia, fusilados durante la reconquista española, fueron inhumados en esta iglesia ya que la Hermandad de la Veracruz era la encargada de asistir a los ajusticiados y darles sepultura en la fosa de esta iglesia.

The original chapel was built in the 16th century, shortly after the founding of the city. According to the plaque installed on the north façade, it was inaugurated in 1546, but other sources cite the year 1575 as the date of its beginnings. In any case, it was one of the first constructions in the city.
Between June and November 1816 approximately 80 heroes of the independence of Colombia, shot during the Spanish reconquest, were buried in this church since the Brotherhood of Veracruz was in charge of assisting the executed and burying them in the grave of this church.
thick, creamy celery soup of celery, parsnip, potato, onion and fresh coriander
plenty of vegetables were used in this recipe. that's why i cooked in two saucepans. the cooked contents of both saucepans were decanted into the large preserving pan, mixed together and ladled into the boxes to freeze. much of what i buy is from the markets. yesterday at whitechapel market a bowl of 3 bunches of coriander was £1
celery and parsnip cooked in a large saucepan, then blended
potato and onion cooked in a large saucepan, then blended
both pans of vegetables including the cooking water decanted into large preserving pan
a chopped bunch of fresh coriander added
(season during this stage or season just before being plated to eat)
stirred to mix all the ingredients
finally celery soup ladled into the boxes ready for the freezer, to be eaten as and when
i add milk and/or extra virgin olive oil either in the preliminary cooking (not this time) or later when each portion is reheated ready to eat, just to keep upping the flavour :)
when reheating i add more cooked potato and blend. this restores the creamy consistency of the soup which can be lost once frozen
all cooking was done on the hob on a low heat, 2 and less, from beginning to end.
i'd heard an energy saving tip from a bbc radio 2 listener who had phoned in to a programme on rising energy costs. he had noticed it was cheaper if he cooked on the hob throughout on low rather than medium or high, making sure the lid is on the pan, apart from the occasional stir.
now i've a smart meter installed www.britishgas.co.uk/smart-home/smart-meters.html monitoring energy use i thought i'd give it a go and found it to be a good tip.
(i suppose it's a bit like driving a car: driving fast burns up the fuel, driving slow lessens fuel consumption but we reach the destination)
if i have the hob on high, the smart meter dial shoots up to the orange/red and stays there - expensive - but on low the dial remains in the green - low cost - only occasionally for a few seconds each time, going to the orange/red
it does mean i have to plan ahead to give myself time to cook in this way but i'm managing and enjoying the challenge :)
ps i'm not recommending any of these cookery adventures. they suit my taste. photographing to encourage myself to eat more healthily
www.flickr.com/groups/cooking_is_my_hobby/ helps to gather ideas and encourages me to continue with healthy eating by learning from others if you're interested in cooking, sometimes or a lot, or enjoy the cooking of others, you're always welcome ...

Difficile d'accès, ce rocher au centre de la vallée était l'endroit idéal pour la méditation et l'adoration du Créateur.
Au fur et à mesure, des familles vinrent s'installer autour du lieu de prière de l'homme pieux.
La mosquée historique, d'architecture locale, a été complètement rasée lors de travaux de modernisation du lieu de culte et de l'école coranique.
La majorité des habitants du village ont déserté les lieux, en 1994, lors de la guerre civile algérienne, par crainte du terrorisme.
