Clock cases made of gilt bronze – incorporating figures, animals, and motifs found in nature with porcelain flowers – were very popular in France during the mid-1700s. This example is notable for the distinctive design and execution of the gilt bronze. It is dominated by rockwork, splashing water, shells, and toadstools on a gnarled tree trunk with rough, decaying bark and branches. There are also somewhat awkward human and animal figures, all of different and incongruous scales.
Originaire de Madagascar, la grenouille mantelle dorée ressemble sous bien des aspects aux dendrobates – les grenouilles toxiques d’Amérique centrale et du Sud. "Mantella aurantiaca" est classée depuis 2004 comme espèce en danger critique d’extinction d’après l’Union Internationale pour la Conservation de la Nature (UICN).
Une jolie couleur, un élevage en captivité plutôt facile, un animal rare ... Au moins 100 000 mantelles dorées auraient été prélevées en milieu naturel avant que ce commerce ne soit régulé (quotas, autorisations). Néanmoins, le commerce illégal persiste et le prélèvement en milieu naturel se poursuit. Autre menace : la réduction et la fragmentation de leur habitat. Les forêts de pandanus sont détruites pour le commerce du bois et les terres sont convoitées pour l’agriculture. Une autre cause de déclin serait l'introduction d'espèces exotiques sur l'île.
Sauvegarde :
L’élevage en captivité de l’espèce n’est pas difficile et permet de freiner le prélèvement en milieu naturel. De plus, une trentaine de parcs animaliers dans le monde participent au programme d’élevage mis en place. Ainsi, pour la première fois, le 19 mai 2017, 1500 mantelles dorées nées en captivité sont réintroduites dans la nature. Fait assez inhabituel, la compagnie Ambatovy, une société minière de Madagascar, finance le programme de conservation qui a permis ces réintroductions. Un exemple...

A clock I received from my Mom a very long time ago.
I was fascinated with it. The way the clock weight moved smoothly and silently around and back and forth.
It is a wind up version and over time, with moves from one house to another, it stopped working. ...Maybe I wound it a bit too much. I still have the key.
Every now and then, I think...well...I will find a clock maker to fix it. I still think I may.....

This photo was taken at a place called Big Bear, Ca. It's located in the Southern Rocky Mountain range just north of Los Angeles, California. This is actually a wood carved mantel that was just above a fireplace in one of the lodges at Big Bear. With the Christmas Garland added, it's just in time for the season of Christmas. Happy Holidays everyone!
Not a great holiday for me (again), but here is my mantel.
I deliberately underexposed this and used a warming filter to give it an older tungsten lamp feel more reminiscent of my youth when all we had were incandescent lights in our house.
wished to make some changes in my home so I'e decided to decorate my mantel with an old lace I found some years ago in a flea market.
Habe diesen kleinen Falter im Licht meiner Taschenlampe fotografiert. Durch das Licht der Lampe bekam er plötzlich einen goldenen Schimmer.
Took a photo from thi little moth in the light of my flashlight. Therethrough the moth suddenly was golden.

My wife's decorated mantelpiece. A study of color and shadow. See the star shape on the left? The TV screen on the bottom right could be photoshopped out, but it is so American to have the TV going all the time.

Ein Mantel, den der 2018 verstorbene Dichter, Philosoph und Liedermacher Wilhelm Raabe, genannt "Tiger Willi" getragen hat
A coat worn by the poet, philosopher and singer-songwriter Wilhelm Raabe, called "Tiger Willi" 1947-2018
I was given a tall, white poinsettia for Christmas. Over time its leaves fell off so now the "flowers" live on adorning my mantel.
Original plant in comments.
Es ist furchtbar geworden! XD Aber ich musste es irgendwie trotzdem hochladen...ich bin vom Satan besessen. Bestimmt.
One of the first structures to be built after the Spanish laid out a new town on the Natchez bluff, this house was built by James Moore who acquired the property in 1797. Although Natchez was a frontier outpost at the time, it was also the first capital of Mississippi Territory after 1798. While Moore's house cannot compare to contemporary work in Philadelphia or Richmond, neither would they compare to London or Paris. The best available craftsmen worked on the house on Ellicott's Hill and favorably influenced the architectural tastes of a vast, developing area.
Part, if not all, of the house dates from 1800 when James Moore, merchant, owned the property. The plan of the Moore house is usually associated with Louisiana; there are no halls and each room opens directly outdoors. There are 2 stories, the lower, of brick, has very plain interior treatment; the upper, wood-framed and clap-boarded, has well-detailed wood mantels, cornices, and door trim. The central room facing the river has a domical recess in the ceiling for hanging a chandelier. (The Waterford crystal example now there is undoubtedly finer than the original.) The surrounding rooms have slightly vaulted ceilings, disguising their low height. The central roofline is a steep gable between the chimneys at each end of the central room; the surrounding roof is of a lower pitch. The steep bluff site faces the Mississippi River. The two-story gallery on the river side is high above Canal Street while the upper story is at grade level at the rear where it is reached by bridges across a dry moat.
Because the south end of the house is at the original lot boundary, there has been speculation that the south rooms were added after the adjacent property came under the same ownership in 1851. The architectural evidence gives meager support to this theory.
Restored in 1935-36 by architect Richard Koch for the Natchez Garden Club, the restoration primarily involved rebuilding collapsing masonry, removing non-original partitions, repairing carpentry and plaster-work, and restoring the fine wood trim recorded by the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) in 1934.
At the time of the restoration, it was believed that this was Connelly's Tavern, an establishment of importance in the history and legend of Natchez. Subsequent research indicates that this was not the tavern site. It has also been associated with Andrew Ellicott's raising of the American flag at Natchez in February 1797, an event that must have occurred very near, but before the house was erected. In the years between 1816 and 1936, it saw use as a physician's house and office, a part of J.R. Gilreath's school (the site has also been called Gilreath's Hill), and a tenement.
For all of its history and architectural significance, the House on Ellicott's Hill was determined to be a National Historic Landmark (NHL) and was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on May 30, 1974. All of the information above was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration and can be viewed here:
