Following the major 1973 renovation funded by UNESCO, Borobudur is once again used as a place of worship and pilgrimage. Once a year, during the full moon in May or June, Buddhists in Indonesia observe Vesak (Indonesian: Waisak) day commemorating the birth, death, and the time when Siddhārtha Gautama attained the highest wisdom to become the Buddha Shakyamuni. Vesak (or Waisak) is an official national holiday in Indonesia and the ceremony is centered at the three Buddhist temples by walking from Mendut to Pawon and ending at Borobudur.
Habitat : L'espèce peut être observée dans nombreux types d'habitat. Néanmoins, sa préférence va aux vallées de montagnes et aux terrains bas. Le site choisi doit tenir compte de deux impératifs : premièrement, la présence de grands arbres ou d'escarpements rocheux favorables à la nidification ; deuxièmement la proximité de cours d'eau, de lacs ou d'étangs qui sont nécessaires à son approvisionnement et à son alimentation. Le milan noir peut également stationner en bordure des villes.
Comportements : Il est migrateur. Le milan noir est de retour de son site hivernal au sud du Sahara à la mi-mars. Il ne reste en France guère plus que le temps de se reproduire, soit environ 4 mois. Dès son arrivée, il entame avec sa partenaire le vol nuptial : vrilles, piqués vertigineux sur son conjoint qu'il évite au dernier moment, remontées en chandelle, chutes en feuille morte, les serres accrochées à celles de sa partenaire, sont autant d'évolutions qu'il accomplit pour séduire. Son cri modulable est une sorte de sifflement tremblé.
Vol : Son vol est plus léger que celui de la buse, ses ailes sont coudées, sa queue est assez longue, et légèrement échancrée.

Hockney Observed. New York City. December 26, 2017. © Copyright 2017 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Two museum visitors observe a David Hockney Painting
We have been in New York City during the past week or so, on one of our frequent trips to visit sons and daughters-in-law there... and of course to also simply be in New York. (And, did I also mention "eat in New York?") It has been cold — something like 10-15 degrees below normal during our visit — and among the practical cold weather activities here are museum visits. We already knew we wanted to see this David Hockney exhibit — we had seen the big Hockney exhibit in San Francisco a few years ago, and we just saw a SF Opera production of "Turandot" that used a Hockney-designed set.
So we joined the throngs on a very cold day at the Metropolitan Museum and went inside to see this exhibit. (Having not done our research ahead of time, we were unaware of the Michelangelo show also taking place, but we managed to visit that, too.) The exhibit was, not surprisingly, very popular and crowded, with a variety of work from across Hockney's career — lots of the usual stuff, including two of his Grand Canyon landscape paintings. I made this photograph as two people stopped to view one of them.

Do more than exist, LIVE.
Do more than touch, FEEL.
Do more than look, OBSERVE.
Do more than read, ABSORB.
Do more than hear, LISTEN.
Do more than listen, UNDERSTAND,
Do more than think, PONDER.
Do more than talk, SAY SOMETHING

Holi is a religious spring festival celebrated by Hindus as a festival of colours.
It is primarily observed in India and Nepal. It is also observed by the minority Hindus in Bangladesh and Pakistan as well in countries with large Indic diaspora populations following Hinduism, such as Suriname, Malaysia, Guyana, South Africa, Trinidad and Tobago, the United Kingdom, the United States, Mauritius, and Fiji.
Holi is also known as Phagwah (Assamese), Festival of Colours, or Doḷajātra (Oriya) in Odisha, and as Dol Jatra (Bengali) or Basantotsav ("spring festival") (Bengali) in West Bengal and Assam.
Holi is of particular significance in the Braj region, which includes locations traditionally connected to the Lord Krishna: Mathura, Vrindavan, Nandagaon, and Barsana, which become tourist destinations during the season of Holi.
As per the Hindu calendar, Holi is celebrated on the Phalgun Purnima which comes in February or March in the Gregorian Calendar.
The word Holi originated from "Holika", sister of Hiranyakashipu. The festival of Holi is celebrated because of a story in the old Hindu religion. In Vaishnavism, Hiranyakashipu is the great king of demons, and he had been granted a boon by Brahma, which made it almost impossible for him to be killed. The boon was due to his long penance, after which he had demanded that he not be killed "during day or night; inside the home or outside, not on earth or in the sky; neither by a man nor an animal; neither by astra nor by shastra". Consequently, he grew arrogant and attacked the Heavens and the Earth. He demanded that people stop worshipping gods and start praising respectfully to him.
According to this belief, Hiranyakashipu's own son, Prahlada, was a devotee of Vishnu. In spite of several threats from Hiranyakashipu, Prahlada continued offering prayers to Vishnu. He was poisoned by Hiranyakashipu, but the poison turned to nectar in his mouth. He was ordered to be trampled by elephants yet remained unharmed. He was put in a room with hungry, poisonous snakes and survived. All of Hiranyakashipu's attempts to kill his son failed. Finally, he ordered young Prahlada to sit on a pyre in the lap of Holika, Hiranyakashipu's demoness sister, who also could not die because she had a boon preventing her from being burned by fire. Prahlada readily accepted his father's orders, and prayed to Lord Vishnu to keep him safe. When the fire started, everyone watched in amazement as Holika burnt to death, while Prahlada survived unharmed. The salvation of Prahlada and burning of Holika is celebrated as Holi.
In Mathura, where Krishna grew up, the festival is celebrated for 16 days (until Rangpanchmi) in commemoration of the divine love of Radha for Krishna. The festivities officially usher in spring, the celebrated season of love.

Dreadful weather, but when there's heritage traction hauling service trains on the national network one has to make the effort.

Here's another shot from that amazing evening I had on the end of Cape Kiwanda a few weeks ago. After the amazing color in the sky started to die down, one of the guys that had been excitedly watching the waves behind me, walked to this cliff and just had a seat to get even closer to the action. Also, if you haven't yet, I would be very happy to earn your vote in the Photo of the Year Contest. 2 of my photographs have been have been selected as semifinalists: Mt Hood above the Pear Orchard and the sunrise over Crater Lake. Thanks so much!
