Ce port de mouillage, avec une superficie de 800 m² et une ouverture entre les 2 jetées de 11 mètres, est réputé comme étant le plus petit port de France. Seuls les bateaux de 5.50 m de long et 2 m de large peuvent y accéder. Ce havre lilliputien est niché au cœur de paysages qui évoquent irrésistiblement les décors celtiques, d’où son surnom de « Petite Irlande ».
Il accueille aujourd’hui une vingtaine d’embarcations beaucoup plus pacifiques. Ce sont de modestes barques de pêcheurs plaisanciers et de vacanciers inlassablement séduits par la douceur de vivre en ce lieu. Ces canots aux multiples couleurs sont amarrés à des cordages courant d’une jetée à l’autre.
This anchorage port, with an area of 800 m² and an opening between the two piers of 11 meters, is renowned as the smallest port in France. Only boats 5.50 m long and 2 m wide can access it. This Lilliputian haven is nestled in the heart of landscapes that irresistibly evoke Celtic settings, hence its nickname “Little Ireland”.
Today it welcomes around twenty much more peaceful boats. These are modest boats of fishermen and vacationers tirelessly seduced by the sweetness of life in this place. These multi-colored canoes are moored to ropes running from one pier to another.
this photo was taken at blue hour. The camera was placed on the ground floor, at the bottom of a 30° slope, in the foreground of the grass (waist high), above, a group of young people chatting! they don't know they've been photographed!
I made this scaffolding for the picture Gulliver's travels. Cookie was Gulliver. The lilliputians would sit on the scaffold so they could look down on the monster. It's made from cooking skewers. flic.kr/p/2nfMHue

Ce gratte-ciel construit en 1976 date de l’époque faste des pétrolières. Les deux tours noires s’élèvent en angle mais sont reliées par une base pyramidale en verre qui sert de hall d’accueil.
Where I Come From
Cascade, Adirondacks, NY.
Down through the col, and back up, I breathed hard under the hood of my shell, and tried to avoid disturbing treetops full of snow, lest they shower me in the narrow trail. When I finally got into the open on my second destination, Porter, the temperature difference under the open, sunny sky was significant, and layers began coming off. The warmth was welcome, but breathing harder towards the last push definitely made me feel that the physical years don't favor the mental motivation. I rested briefly before setting up my gear, recognizing the best landscape as a view back, back where I came from. That summit was a long winter slog, tramping through the landscape on snowshoes, like a staggering giant on a lilliputian journey. They have all been, I think; only the seasons change. Retrospect is a foolish enterprise, better considered with old friends than solo. Alone, your memory stretches the long distance versus the selected escapades, drawing sterner reflection and harsher recriminations. My humble beginnings--where I come from--always stressed that working for it will bring reward. What taught us the way was love. I learned by example, and no matter which successful (or un-) path, I poured my heart into it. There is always another summit, another way point. It is the failures that haunt you, that make you choose another route, that make you question where you're going or what you did along the way. But never where you've come from.
These coffee granules are being fed into the coffee grinder for Gulliver by a Lilliputian Barista.

George and Babs had no idea how they ended up on top of that rock. But Babe thought "were tweezers involved?"
Alternate caption: Ralph didn't know how the Lilliputians got inside the bottle, but that wasn't the issue, he thought, as he reached for the twelve inch micro tweezers...

Description in English and Dutch:
English
Tom Otterness is a very influential American sculptor known for his funny fairytale sculptures. His sculptures can be seen in museums as well as in the open air in several cities. You can find works of him in Valencia, Dallas, New York, Jerusalem and a number of other cities around the world. That is also the case in The Hague. At the boulevard of Scheveningen there is a section with a number of very large sculptures and a number of small ones. In general, his masterpieces consist of round shapes in combination with tubes. I had already uploaded the angry mother sculpture here last year. The bronze sculpture of this photo is very tall and it involves Gulliver being tied up by the people of Lilliput. In the first part of Jonathan Swift's famous book ‘Gulliver’s travels’, the highly imaginative protagonist Gulliver leaves for his first journey and ends up on the island of Lilliput. Very small people live there. He was tied up and captured by the smart and brave Lilliputians. The sculpture was made very large, because it was a giant to the people of Lilliput. By the way, it is very well thought of by writer Swift that in the second story of Gulliver's travels it is just the opposite in terms of length. In that story Gulliver is much smaller than the inhabitants in that area and the roles are reversed.

Tom Otterness is een zeer invloedrijke beeldhouwer die bekend staat om zijn grappige sprookjesachtige sculpturen. Zijn sculpturen zijn in meerdere steden zowel in musea als in de openlucht te zien . Zo zijn er ondermeer kunstwerken te vinden in Valencia, Dallas, New York, Jeruzalem en nog een aantal steden in de hele wereld. Bij de boulevard van Scheveningen in Den Haag is er een gedeelte ingericht met een aantal hele grote sculpturen en aantal kleine. Over het algemeen bestaan zijn meesterwerken uit ronde vormen in combinatie met buizen. Ik had vorig jaar al een keer het ‘Mama is boos’ kunstwerk geupload hier. Het bronzen sculptuur van deze foto is erg lang en het gaat om Gulliver die is vastgebonden door de mensen van Lilliput. In het eerste deel van het beroemde boek van Jonathan Swift ‘Gulliver’s Travels’, gaat de zeer tot de verbeelding sprekende hoofdpersoon Gulliver op ontdekkingsreis en beland hij na een aantal tegenslagen op het eiland Lilliput. Daar wonen echter hele kleine mensen. Door de slimme en dappere Lilliputters wordt hij vastegebonden en gevangen genomen. Het sculptuur is erg groot gemaakt, omdat hij voor de mensen in Lilliput een reus was. Het is trouwens erg goed bedacht van schrijver Swift dat in het tweede verhaal van ‘Gulliver's travels’ het juist omgekeerd is qua lengte. In dat verhaal is hij veel kleiner dan de inwoners in het nieuwe gebied en zijn de rollen omgedraaid.

"What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness." - John Steinbeck
"Flowers construct the most charming geometries: circles like the sun,
ovals, cones, curlicues and a variety of triangular eccentricities, which
when viewed with the eye of a magnifying glass seem a Lilliputian
frieze of psychedelic silhouettes."
~ Duane Michals, The Vanishing Act
The start of the enormous Seven Sisters Cliffs on the East Sussex coast with 'tiny' beachcombers walking beneath them.
A non-HDR composition.
The milky way rises behind a pair of giant boulders of the Aeolian Buttes along Hwy 395 near Mono Lake. Miguel and I did some light painting to kickoff the adventure, and due to the lateness of the hour, camped here as well.
Big. Gigantic. Ants.
This is a composite using the DFA 25mm f/4 on the 645Z. I used my headlamp for most of the light painting. A series of ground exposures were blended for noise reduction, as well as approx 22, 13 sec exposures, at ISO 6400, processed with Sequator.
Yup, that is Miguel looking Lilliputian in the midground.
Thanks for looking.

The villa "played" in the cult movie of Juliusz Machulski – „Kingsajz” (1987) an institution in which the underground is Lilliputian kingdom - Drawerland.
Un vrai lilliputien celui-là... première fois que je vois un si petit papillon... pas plus gros que l'ongle de mon auriculaire...
A real Lilliputian one ... first time I see such a small butterfly ... no bigger than the nail of my little finger ...

"L'uomo è un animale disgraziato perché non ha la coda."
Così il retro di copertina ci parla la lingua di Argo, il suo rincorrere gli olezzi, il suo subire la catena e le nerbate, il suo essere felice per gli odori di una scarpa, il suo saper contare fino a tre, per cui poi però gli odori sono cinque: "Esistono tre odori a questo mondo: l'odore del padrone, l'odore degli altri uomini, l'odore di Titì, l'odore di diverse razze di bestie (lepri che sono raramente cornute e grandi, e uccelli e gatti) e infine l'odore delle cose."
"A volte ho bisogno della luce di un fiammifero per illuminare le stelle" (Antonio Porchia)
Nella collana "I fiammiferi, Biblioteca Lillipuziana" della casa editrice Coppola, questo racconto è breve, ma ciò significa solo che si potrà rileggere più spesso, per lasciarci illuminare dalla bontà di Argo e dall'arte di un grande scrittore.
"Man is an unfortunate animal because he has no tail."
Thus the back cover speaks to us the language of Argo, his chasing of smells, his suffering from the chain and the beatings, his being happy for the smells of a shoe, his counting to three, for which, however, There are five smells: "There are three smells in this world: the smell of the master, the smell of other men, the smell of Titì, the smell of different breeds of beasts (hares which are rarely horned and large, and birds and cats) and finally the smell of things."
"Sometimes I need the light of a match to illuminate the stars" (Antonio Porchia)
In the series "The Matches, Lilliputian Library" of the Coppola publishing house, this story is short, but this only means that it can be reread more often, to let us be enlightened by the goodness of Argo and the art of a great writer.
