Le lac Tsomoriri est un des plus grand et des plus fascinant lac d'altitude du Cahemire. Situé à 4500 mètres d'altitude, il fait plus de 30km de long sur 8km de large. Gelé sur toute sa surface en hiver, les nomades le traversent avec leurs troupeaux de yaks pour atteindre les montagnes et aller chercher le bois nécessaire à leur survie. En mars, lorque la couche de glace se restreint, il est de plus en plus fréquent de voir toute ou partie du troupeau disparaître sous leur poids dans le lac aux eaux gelées. C'est qu'ici comme ailleur, le réchauffement climatique a des conséquences terribles sur les habitudes millénaires des hommes, des animaux et de la nature. la légende veut qu'il y a quelques milliers d'années, une femme nommée "Tsomo" (prénom très commun chez les bouddhistes ladakhis) a découvert ce lac avec son âne et s'y est perdu.

Tsomoriri Lake is one of the largest and most fascinating high altitude lake of Cahemire. Located at 4500 meters altitude, it is more than 30km long and 8km wide. Frozen over its entire surface in winter, nomads cross it with their yak herds to reach the mountains and get wood for their survival. In March, When the course is restricted ice, it is increasingly common for all or part of the herd disappear under the lake. Here as everywhere else, global warming has a devastating effect on the habits of humans, animals and nature.
According to the legend, few thousand years ago, a woman named "Tsomo" (very common name among Ladakhi Buddhists) found that lake with his donkey and got lost. This woman, very small "riri" has finally given her name to this special place.
In 2010, when I went to Indonesia as a volunteer for the Kalaweit NGO in the Borneo's jungle, all or part of Southeast Asia was experiencing a shortage of unprecedented rain. The monsoon did not came. At the same time, from 14 to 18 August, this part of the Himalayas that opens to Pakistan and the Indus valley experienced the largest flood in living memory in the region (the oldest texts written date by the monks a thousand years never told about such disaster). Cubles billion meters of water that hit the top of the mountains causing sludge and billions of tons of rocks to the valleys, devastating everything in their way, village, crops, human and animal lives. The official death toll has never been reported.

André Nox (1869-1946) was a French actor who worked in the cinema from 1916 till 1940. During the silent era he starred in French and German films. After the sound film was introduced he mainly played supporting parts.
André Nox was born as Abraham André Nonnes-Lopes in 1869 in Paris, France. He was sometimes credited as André Nonnez. He came from a family of Jewish notables, and was the nephew of dramaturge and author Georges de Porto-Riche. After his studies, he worked in finance before joining the army at the very beginning of the First World War. Demobilised in 1916, when he was about fifty, he abandoned his business to try a career in cinema which was booming at the time. He made his cinema debut for Les Films Succès in the short silent film Sous les phares/Under the lights (1916), directed by André Hugon. He next starred in the silent Western Les chacals/The Jackals (André Hugon, 1917), also starring Louis Paglieri and Musidora. For Huron, he also appeared in Vertige/Vertigo (André Hugon, 1917) starring Régine Marco, the crime film Requins/Sharks (André Hugon, 1917) starring Charles Krauss, Johannes, fils de Johannes/Johannes, son of Johannes (André Huron, Louis Paglieri, 1918) with Musidora, and La Fugitive/The Fugitive (André Hugon, 1920) starring Marie-Louise Derval. He signed a contract with Gaumont and acted in Léon Poirier's Âme de Orient/Soul of the Orient (1919) filmed in Nice, with Madeleine Sève, Charles Dullin and the very young Josette Day. Then he played in Poirier’s Le Penseur/The thinker (Leon Poirier, 1920), a philosophical drama on an idea of Edmond Fleg, with Marguerite Madys and Armand Tallier. Pascal Donald at CinéArtistes calls it “certainly his best role (…) With his pepper and salt hair often shaggy, his face with powerful features and his dark eyes, he is the perfect interpreter of poignant dramas.” For Germaine Dulac, Nox appeared in her La mort du soleil/The Death of the Sun (1922). He played a musician in Le quinzième prélude de Chopin/The fifteenth prelude of Chopin (Victor Tourjanski, 1922). In 1925, he appeared opposite Conrad Veidt in the French silent historical film Le comte Kostia/Count Kostia (Jacques Rober, 1925), set in Tsarist Russia. He had a supporting part in the drama La femme nue/The Nude Woman (Léonce Perret, 1926) starring Iván Petrovich, Louise Lagrange and Nita Naldi, and based on a play by Henry Bataille. In Germany, he appeared with Carmen Boni, Werner Krauss and S.Z. Sakall in the silent film Der fidele Bauer/The Merry Farmer (Franz Seitz, 1927), based on the 1907 operetta of the same title, and in Die Hölle der Jungfrauen/The hell of virgins (Robert Dinesen, 1928) with Werner Krauss and Elizza LaPorta. Back in France, he appeared with Betty Balfour and Jaque Catelain in the drama Le diable au Coeur/Little Devil May Care (Marcel L'Herbier, 1928). One of his best films is Verdun, visions d'histoire/Verdun, historical visions (Léon Poirier, 1928), a dramatic re-enactment of the battle of Verdun during World War I, as seen by both French and German sides. In Germany he also made the silent drama S.O.S. Schiff in Not/Ship in Distress (Carmine Gallone, 1929) starring Liane Haid, Alphons Fryland and Gina Manès.
André Nox could make the step to sound films. He played Hedy Lamarr’s father in Extase/Ecstasy (Gustav Machatý, 1933), which became a sensation because of a daring sex scene. In 1933 he had a part in the French-German Science Fiction film Le tunnel/The Tunnel (Kurt (Curtis) Bernhardt, 1933), starring Jean Gabin, Madeleine Renaud and Robert Le Vigan. It was the French language version of the German film Der Tunnel, with a different cast and some changes to the plot. Both were followed in 1935 by an English version. Such Multiple-language versions were common in the years immediately following the introduction of sound, before the practice of dubbing had come to dominate international releases. Germany and France made a significant number of films together at this time. The film is an adaptation of Bernhard Kellermann's 1913 novel Der Tunnel about the construction of a vast tunnel under the Atlantic Ocean connecting Europe and America. The film's Jewish director Bernhardt had fled Germany following the Nazi takeover, but returned briefly to shoot exterior scenes after being granted special permission by the German government. Nox also appeared in the drama L'Appel du Silence/The Call of Silence (Léon Poirier, 1936), with Jean Yonnel as the Catholic missionary Charles de Foucauld, who traveled the Sahara and was killed by local bandits. A success was Un grand amour de Beethoven/The Life and Loves of Beethoven (Abel Gance, 1936) a lyrical biography of the classical composer played by Harry Baur. Nox reunited with director-writer Marcel L’Herbier for the dramas Nuits de feu/Nights of Fire (Marcel L'Herbier, 1937), starring Gaby Morlay and La citadelle du silence/The Citadel of Silence (Marcel L'Herbier, 1937), starring Annabella. He also had a supporting part in the war foilm J'accuse! (Abel Gance, 1938) starring Victor Francen. It is a remake of the 1919 film of the same name, which was also directed by Gance. He also appeared with Dita Parlo and Erich von Stroheim in the French historical drama Ultimatum (Robert Wiene, Robert Siodmak, 1938). With his friend Léon Poirier, André Nox made in Equatorial Africa what turned out to be his final film, Brazza ou l'épopée du Congo/Brazza or the epic of Congo (Léon Poirier, 1940). On his return from Africa, France was at war. The defeat in June 1940 and the rise of anti-Semitism forced Nox to withdraw to Brittany. He died on 25 February 1946, a few months after the liberation. He did not get the time to return to the cinema. André Nox was 76. His son was the actor Pierre Nonnez-Lopès (1898-1978), known as Pierre Nay.

« Mais chaque jour, peu à peu, le désert silencieux
vous envahit, vous pénètre la pensée comme la
dure lumière vous calcine la peau ; et l’on voudrait
devenir nomade à la façon de ces hommes qui
changent de pays sans jamais changer de patrie. »
Guy de Maupassant
Le Changtang. Cette partie du Ladakh a pour particularité d’être essentiellement peuplée de nomades. Frontalière avec le Tibet qui n'est qu'à une vingtaine de kilomètres de là, elle héberge non seulement les nomades Indiens du Ladakh mais également un nombre croissant de nomades Tibétains, réfugiés ici du fait des taxes excessivent que font peser sur eux les autorités chinoises, notamment sur les transactions et les déplacements des nomades au Tibet.La région est aujourd'hui extrêmement surveillée par l'armée Indienne, toujours en crainte d'une invasion Chinoise. Les zones interdites y sont nombreuses. Les nomades vivent principalement de l'élevage de Yaks et de chèvres dont les célèbres chèvres Pachemina.
Ici, les femmes utilisent la graisse de yak sur leur visage pour se protéger de la rigeur du froid, du vent et du soleil.
Changtang. This part of Ladakh has the distinction of being mainly populated by nomads. Border with Tibet, which is only twenty miles away, this is the living place not only for the nomadic Indians of Ladakh but also for an increasing number of nomadic Tibetan refugees who came here because of taxes posed to them by Chinese authorities, including transactions and movements of nomads in Tibet. The area is now extremely monitored by Indian army, still in fear of a Chinese invasion. The prohibited areas are numerous. The nomads live mainly from raising yaks and goats, including the famous Pachemina goats.
Here, women use the fat yak on their faces to protect themselves from the rigors of cold, wind and sun.

Austrian-American soprano singer and actress Fritzi Massary (1882-1969) was one of the greatest 20th century operetta divas. She was a superstar in Berlin and Vienna in the Weimar era, but after the rise of the Nazis, Massary was forced to flee Germany. In London, she appeared in an operetta Noel Coward wrote for her. The popular singer also starred in several early German ‘sound pictures’ and other silent films.
Fritzi Massary was born Friederike Massaryk in Vienna in the Austro-Hungarian Empire on 1882. She was the eldest of three daughters of a Jewish family, and her father was a businessman. Her parents, and especially her mother, encouraged her talent via singing lessons, with the result that their daughter, now renamed Fritzi Massary, received her first engagement in a small part at the Landestheater in Linz in 1899/1900. In 1900 she appeared in another minor role at the Carl Schultze Theatre in Hamburg, returning to Vienna in the following year and being employed at a summer theater, Danzer’s Orpheum, until 1904. At around this time she was baptised as a Protestant and in 1903 she gave birth to a daughter, Liesl. She had her first sensational success in revue at the Metropol-Theater in Berlin in 1904. She refined her vocal abilities in the next years and soon belonged to the most elegant performers of her time. In 1907, she made her cinema debut for Messter Film in the short 'tonbild' (sound picture) Komm du kleines Kohlenmädchen (1907) opposite Joseph Giampietro. The next year, she made several more of such short films with a song on a sound disk for Deutsche Bioscop GmbH, like Trallala Lied/Trallala Song (1908), Donnerwetter, tadellos/Gosh, faultless (1908) with Henry Bender, and Auf ins Metropol/On to the city (1908). For Deutsche Film, she made Viola (1912). On stage, her real breakthrough occurred in 1911, when she appeared as guest artist at Max Reinhardt’s Künstlertheater in Jacques Offenbach’s La Belle Hélène, alongside Maria Jeritza. From then on “der Massary” reigned over the Berlin stage, which was at the time the centre of cabaret, revue and operetta. Among the works created especially for her was the operetta Die Kaiserin (The Empress) by Leo Fall (1915). Under Bruno Walter she sang the title role in Franz Lehar’s Die lustige Witwe (The Merry Widow) and Adele in Johann Strauss’s Die Fledermaus (The Bat). During World War I, she performed for the soldiers of the Imperial German Army in theatres in occupied Belgium. In 1915 she appeared in the silent film Der Tunnel/The Tunnel (William Wauer, 1915) starring Friedrich Kayßler and Hermann Vallentin. It was the first of several film adaptations of Bernhard Kellermann's 1913 novel Der Tunnel about the construction of a vast tunnel under the Atlantic Ocean connecting Europe and America. The film was made by Paul Davidson's PAGU production company, with sets designed by art director Hermann Warm, five years before he designed Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari/The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (Robert Wiene, 1920). Massary’s later films were Die Rose von Stambul/The Rose of Stamboul (Felix Basch, Arthur Wellin, 1919) and Narrentanz der Liebe/Mie (Arthur Wellin, 1920), opposite Ernst Stahl-Nachbaur.
Fritzi Massary was closely associated with the composer Oscar Strauss, creating roles in six of his operettas. In 1920, she worked with Strauss on the hit Der letzte Walzer (The Last Waltz). Her biographer Robert Wennersten explained her popularity in an interview with Kevin Clarke: “Her singing voice was not exceptional, but her delivery of the songs certainly was. Take “Oh-la-la” from Der Letzte Walzer: every time those syllables came around she sang them differently, and every variation was funny or slightly salacious.” Massary was so popular that she had an important impact to the fashion of her times. At the height of her career – between 1918 and 1932 – Massary asked for and was given complete control over her productions. Everything – the supporting cast, the costumes, the sets, the props and lighting – was subject to her approval. Massary’s career in Germany came to an abrupt end when she became a butt of the anti-Semitic propaganda because of her Jewish marriage with actor Max Pallenberg. In late 1932 the couple left Germany, shortly before the Nazis seized dictatorial power in a paramilitary revolution and declared a Third Reich. The couple travelled through Austria and Switzerland, but in 1934 Max Pallenberg died in a plane crash in Karlsbad. Fritzi had now lost everything. She moved to London, where she became friends with Noël Coward and starred in his theatrical musical Operette in 1938. In February 1939, shortly before the outbreak of World War II, she moved to Beverly Hills, California to join her daughter’s family, and lived there among other exiles such as Elisabeth Bergner, Fritz Kortner, Ernst Lubitsch, Thomas Mann and Max Reinhardt. She put an extended effort into continuing her career, going to New York to look for Broadway roles and talking to Hollywood directors about film roles. To no avail, unfortunately. From then on, she focused on her garden and her dogs. Beginning in 1952, she regularly spent summers in Germany. In 1957, Germany honoured her with the Großes Bundesverdienstkreuz (Grand Cross of Merit). She continued to reside in Beverly Hills until her death in Los Angeles in 1969. Fritzi Massary was married twice, first to an eye doctor Bernhard Pollack in 1914. Massary's second marriage was to the Austrian actor Max Pallenberg, from 1917 till his death in 1934. With Karl-Kuno Rollo Graf von Coudenhove, she had her only child, Elisabeth Maria Karl (called Liesl) (1903–1979). Liesl later married the author Bruno Frank. Though Coudenhove was Liesl's father, Massary was never married to him.

According to the legend, few thousand years ago, a woman named "Tsomo" (very common name among Ladakhi Buddhists) found that lake with his donkey and got lost. This woman, very small "riri" has finally given her name to this special place.
In 2010, when I went to Indonesia as a volunteer for the Kalaweit NGO in the Borneo's jungle, all or part of Southeast Asia was experiencing a shortage of unprecedented rain. The monsoon did not came. At the same time, from 14 to 18 August, this part of the Himalayas that opens to Pakistan and the Indus valley experienced the largest flood in living memory in the region (the oldest texts written date by the monks a thousand years never told about such disaster). Cubles billion meters of water that hit the top of the mountains causing sludge and billions of tons of rocks to the valleys, devastating everything in their way, village, crops, human and animal lives. The official death toll has never been reported.

A PROPOS...
Il existe plus de 750 espèces de libellules (Kapung en Bahasa Indonesia) en Indonésie. Ces fabuleuses mécaniques peuvent repérer une proie à plus de 10 mètres.Se nourissant principalement de petits poissons, de tétards, insectes d'eau et de moutiques, elles mangent les nuisibles responsables de la propagations de maladies telles que la Malaria et la Dengue, responsables de ravages en Asie du Sud Est.
Malheureusement, la propagation de pesticides et l'assèchement des points d'eau les déciment années après années.
En Indonésie, la croyance populaire veut qu'on pose une libellule vivante contre le nombril d'un enfant. Les chatouillis de leurs pattes étant censés inciter les enfants à ne plus faire pipi au lit...

Schloss Johannisberg als Spielball der europäischen Politik
In den Koalitionskriegen hatte Schloss Johannisberg schwer unter den Übergriffen und Beschlagnahmen französischer Truppen zu leiden und wurde in der Folge zum Spielball der europäischen Politik. Die Säkularisation im Reichsdeputationshauptschluss von 1803 sprach Schloss Johannisberg nicht dem Fürsten Friedrich Wilhelm von Nassau-Weilburg, der den Rheingau bekommen hatte, sondern dem Haus Nassau-Oranien zu. Prinz Wilhelm V. reichte das Gut an seinen Sohn, den Erbprinzen Wilhelm-Friedrich weiter.
Da sich die Oranier weigerten, dem Rheinbund beizutreten, wurden sie 1806 von Napoléon enteignet. Der Versuch des Herzogs von Nassau, Schloss Johannisberg in seinen Besitz zu bringen, scheiterte jedoch. 1807 schenkte es Napoléon seinem Marschall François-Christophe Kellermann, dem Sieger von Valmy, als Belohnung für dessen militärische Verdienste. Als auf das gute Jahr 1807 mehrere schlechte Jahrgänge gefolgt waren, sah sich die damalige Verwalterin Adelaide Marco genötigt, den 1811er am Stock an den Frankfurter Bankier Peter Arnold Mumm zu verkaufen. Der sogenannte „Kometenjahrgang“ wurde der beste des ganzen Jahrhunderts. Mumm, der dafür nur 32.000 Gulden aufgewendet hatte, erlöste über 150.000 Gulden und konnte mit dem Gewinn sein eigenes Weingut in Johannisberg begründen.
1814 wurde die Domäne von den Verbündeten beschlagnahmt und unter gemeinsame Verwaltung gestellt. Im Wiener Kongress fiel zwar der Rheingau an das Herzogtum Nassau, der Johannisberg blieb jedoch davon ausgenommen. Ein Abkommen vom 13. Juni 1815 unterstellte es der Souveränität Österreichs. Es war jedoch abzusehen, dass die österreichische Krone das Gut nicht selbst verwalten würde. Zahlreiche verdiente Staatsmänner machten sich daher Hoffnungen auf den Johannisberg, so der preußische Generalstabschef Gneisenau, der Generalfeldmarschall von Blücher und der Minister Reichsfreiherr vom Stein, den der russische Zar Alexander I. favorisierte.
Schenkung an Metternich
In dieser Situation griff der österreichische Außenminister Klemens von Metternich zu. Die Wurzeln seiner Familie lagen am Rhein (Haus Metternich in Koblenz), aus Geldnot hatte er jedoch 1811/12 die Besitzungen in Geisenheim und Rüdesheim versteigern lassen. Er konnte Kaiser Franz I. im Jahre 1816 davon überzeugen, ihm den Johannisberg gegen eine jährliche Abgabe von einem Zehntel des Ertrags der über zwölf Jahre alten Weinberge an das Haus Habsburg zu überlassen. Dieser Zehnte überdauerte bis heute alle politischen Umwälzungen. Seit 1945 wird er in Geld abgegolten, zuvor wurden die Fässer ausgelost. Zehntberechtigter ist zurzeit Karl Habsburg-Lothringen. Ursprünglich sollte das Gut als Fideikommiss bei Aussterben der Linie Metternich-Winneburg an die Habsburger zurückfallen. Diese Regelung fiel der Abschaffung der Adelsprivilegien im Jahr 1920 zum Opfer. Auf die politischen Souveränitätsansprüche auf den Johannisberg verzichtete Österreich erst 1851, was kräftige Steuernachzahlungen an die nassauische Staatskasse zur Folge hatte. Klemens von Metternich investierte nicht nur in den Weinbau. Unter der Leitung des großherzoglich-hessischen Hofbaumeisters Georg Moller wurde der Hauptbau des Schlossgebäudes klassizistisch umgestaltet. Ferner ließ er einen Park mit mediterranen Gewächsen anlegen.
Der Johannisberg wurde in der ersten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts zu einem Ziel des aufkommenden Rheintourismus; die Besucher tranken den berühmten Wein gleich auf der Schlossterrasse. Auch heute noch befindet sich hier der Ausschank, umgeben von Wein-Laubengängen, Feigen-Spalier und Esskastanien-Allee.

Weltstadthaus (Cologne)
The Weltstadthaus ("global city building"), housing a department store in Cologne, Germany, was designed by Renzo Piano and completed in 2005, following a lengthy legal battle concerning the structural engineering of the core building. It covers up a main traffic artery, the Nord-Süd-Fahrt, and faces Europe's most frequented shopping mile, the Schildergasse.
With its usual, organic shape reminiscent of a ship, but also of a stranded whale -- Kölners have dubbed it the Walfisch--it provides 14.400 m² floor space, on a length of 130 m and a width of 60 m. The atrium offers a view of five stories with a height of 36 m. The 4900 m² glass façade is constructed from 6800 individual panes and 66 massive laminated beams of Siberian larch. The northern façade consists of 4.400 m² of natural stone.
Wedged between a late Gothic church, the Antoniterkirche, and nondescript post-war concrete, it consists of two distinct parts. A rectangular block of stone takes up the rhythms of the surrounding seventies' angular forms, while the partially encircling wood-and-glass construction flows toward the church that had looked somewhat displaced previously.
Municipal regulations prevent the cupola from being accessible to the general public, but it is opened on special occasions. The department store is operated by the German chain Peek & Cloppenburg, who commissioned the Piano design, which has won several prizes.
From P&C's point of view, this is one in a series of Weltstadthäuser, each designed by a different architect: in Berlin (Gottfried Böhm), Düsseldorf (Richard Meier), Frankfurt (RKW Rhode Kellermann Wawrowsky), Cologne (Renzo Piano), Leipzig (Moore Ruble Yudell), Mannheim (Richard Meier again), Stuttgart (Josef Paul Kleihues), Vienna (David Chipperfield, completed late 2011).

Austrian-American soprano singer and actress Fritzi Massary (1882-1969) was one of the greatest 20th century operetta divas. She was a superstar in Berlin and Vienna in the Weimar era, but after the rise of the Nazis, Massary was forced to flee Germany. In London, she appeared in an operetta Noel Coward wrote for her. The popular singer also starred in several early German ‘sound pictures’ and other silent films.
Fritzi Massary was born Friederike Massaryk in Vienna in the Austro-Hungarian Empire on 1882. She was the eldest of three daughters of a Jewish family, and her father was a businessman. Her parents, and especially her mother, encouraged her talent via singing lessons, with the result that their daughter, now renamed Fritzi Massary, received her first engagement in a small part at the Landestheater in Linz in 1899/1900. In 1900 she appeared in another minor role at the Carl Schultze Theatre in Hamburg, returning to Vienna in the following year and being employed at a summer theater, Danzer’s Orpheum, until 1904. At around this time she was baptised as a Protestant and in 1903 she gave birth to a daughter, Liesl. She had her first sensational success in revue at the Metropol-Theater in Berlin in 1904. She refined her vocal abilities in the next years and soon belonged to the most elegant performers of her time. In 1907, she made her cinema debut for Messter Film in the short 'tonbild' (sound picture) Komm du kleines Kohlenmädchen (1907) opposite Joseph Giampietro. The next year, she made several more of such short films with a song on a sound disk for Deutsche Bioscop GmbH, like Trallala Lied/Trallala Song (1908), Donnerwetter, tadellos/Gosh, faultless (1908) with Henry Bender, and Auf ins Metropol/On to the city (1908). For Deutsche Film, she made Viola (1912). On stage, her real breakthrough occurred in 1911, when she appeared as guest artist at Max Reinhardt’s Künstlertheater in Jacques Offenbach’s La Belle Hélène, alongside Maria Jeritza. From then on “der Massary” reigned over the Berlin stage, which was at the time the centre of cabaret, revue and operetta. Among the works created especially for her was the operetta Die Kaiserin (The Empress) by Leo Fall (1915). Under Bruno Walter she sang the title role in Franz Lehar’s Die lustige Witwe (The Merry Widow) and Adele in Johann Strauss’s Die Fledermaus (The Bat). During World War I, she performed for the soldiers of the Imperial German Army in theatres in occupied Belgium. In 1915 she appeared in the silent film Der Tunnel/The Tunnel (William Wauer, 1915) starring Friedrich Kayßler and Hermann Vallentin. It was the first of several film adaptations of Bernhard Kellermann's 1913 novel Der Tunnel about the construction of a vast tunnel under the Atlantic Ocean connecting Europe and America. The film was made by Paul Davidson's PAGU production company, with sets designed by art director Hermann Warm, five years before he designed Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari/The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (Robert Wiene, 1920). Massary’s later films were Die Rose von Stambul/The Rose of Stamboul (Felix Basch, Arthur Wellin, 1919) and Narrentanz der Liebe/Mie (Arthur Wellin, 1920), opposite Ernst Stahl-Nachbaur.
Fritzi Massary was closely associated with the composer Oscar Strauss, creating roles in six of his operettas. In 1920, she worked with Strauss on the hit Der letzte Walzer (The Last Waltz). Her biographer Robert Wennersten explained her popularity in an interview with Kevin Clarke: “Her singing voice was not exceptional, but her delivery of the songs certainly was. Take “Oh-la-la” from Der Letzte Walzer: every time those syllables came around she sang them differently, and every variation was funny or slightly salacious.” Massary was so popular that she had an important impact to the fashion of her times. At the height of her career – between 1918 and 1932 – Massary asked for and was given complete control over her productions. Everything – the supporting cast, the costumes, the sets, the props and lighting – was subject to her approval. Massary’s career in Germany came to an abrupt end when she became a butt of the anti-Semitic propaganda because of her Jewish marriage with actor Max Pallenberg. In late 1932 the couple left Germany, shortly before the Nazis seized dictatorial power in a paramilitary revolution and declared a Third Reich. The couple travelled through Austria and Switzerland, but in 1934 Max Pallenberg died in a plane crash in Karlsbad. Fritzi had now lost everything. She moved to London, where she became friends with Noël Coward and starred in his theatrical musical Operette in 1938. In February 1939, shortly before the outbreak of World War II, she moved to Beverly Hills, California to join her daughter’s family, and lived there among other exiles such as Elisabeth Bergner, Fritz Kortner, Ernst Lubitsch, Thomas Mann and Max Reinhardt. She put an extended effort into continuing her career, going to New York to look for Broadway roles and talking to Hollywood directors about film roles. To no avail, unfortunately. From then on, she focused on her garden and her dogs. Beginning in 1952, she regularly spent summers in Germany. In 1957, Germany honoured her with the Großes Bundesverdienstkreuz (Grand Cross of Merit). She continued to reside in Beverly Hills until her death in Los Angeles in 1969. Fritzi Massary was married twice, first to an eye doctor Bernhard Pollack in 1914. Massary's second marriage was to the Austrian actor Max Pallenberg, from 1917 till his death in 1934. With Karl-Kuno Rollo Graf von Coudenhove, she had her only child, Elisabeth Maria Karl (called Liesl) (1903–1979). Liesl later married the author Bruno Frank. Though Coudenhove was Liesl's father, Massary was never married to him.

Le lac Tsomoriri est un des plus grand et des plus fascinant lac d'altitude du Cahemire. Situé à 4500 mètres d'altitude, il fait plus de 30km de long sur 8km de large. Gelé sur toute sa surface en hiver, les nomades le traversent avec leurs troupeaux de yaks pour atteindre les montagnes et aller chercher le bois nécessaire à leur survie. En mars, lorque la couche de glace se restreint, il est de plus en plus fréquent de voir toute ou partie du troupeau disparaître sous leur poids dans le lac aux eaux gelées. C'est qu'ici comme ailleur, le réchauffement climatique a des conséquences terribles sur les habitudes millénaires des hommes, des animaux et de la nature. la légende veut qu'il y a quelques milliers d'années, une femme nommée "Tsomo" (prénom très commun chez les bouddhistes ladakhis) a découvert ce lac avec son âne et s'y est perdu.
