It is a bridge over the Garonne in the French city of Bordeaux. The construction started in 1810 on the orders of Napoleon I. For a long time it was the only link between the left and right banks of the Garonne. Before that, there was only a ferry connection between both parts of the city.
Vespers, evening prayer of thanksgiving and praise in Roman Catholic and certain other Christian liturgies. Vespers and lauds (morning prayer) are the oldest and most important of the traditional liturgy of the hours. Many scholars believe vespers is based on Judaic forms of prayer and point to a daily evening celebration observed among Jews in the 1st century BCE.By the 3rd century CE the writings of Tertullian show clear evidence of an evening prayer. During the 4th, 5th, and 6th centuries, cathedral choirs and monastic orders developed the vespers service, as it was known for centuries thereafter. Following the Second Vatican Council (1962–65), the Roman Catholic service was translated into the vernacular and simplified, but it continues to revolve around the Magnificat canticle, various psalms and antiphons, and readings that vary according to liturgical season.
The Lutheran and Anglican churches both include an evening prayer service in their liturgies. In the Anglican church, evening prayer traditionally is called evensong and can be found in the 1549 Book of Common Prayer. Both Protestant churches revised their rite for evening prayer during the 1970s, and both rites are patterned closely after the traditional Roman Catholic evening prayer. In the Anglican church the revised prayers offer alternative choices for greater individual choice among congregations.
Les vespres són una part de l'ofici diví -previ a les completes-, que constitueixen la pregària del vespre, i que s'acostuma a celebrar cap al capvespre. En la litúrgia romana, tenen una estructura semblant a la de les laudes i té les parts següents:
el versicle inicial Deus in adjutorium meum intende, i l'himne.
la salmòdia, actualment consistent en dos salms i un càntic del Nou Testament.
la lectura i el responsori amb el cant del Magníficat.
la pregària que acaba amb el rés del Parenostre.
l'oració i els versicle o el diàleg finals.
Tant la salmòdia gregoriana com el magníficat s'interpreten de forma antifonal.
Tal com va passar amb altres parts de la litúrgia, les vespres de les grans solemnitats, ja fos de les festes assenyalades de l'any litúrgic, ja fossin les festes principals d'una determinada localitat o territori, a partir del segle xvi els textos de les vespres van rebre musicalitzacions polifòniques per part d'un bon nombre de compositors, especialment d'aquells que servien a l'església i rebien aquesta mena d'encàrrecs per dotar la litúrgia de l'esplendor adient.
Posteriorment, i d'acord amb els estils més de moda en cada època, a partir de primer Barroc molts compositors van optar per un estil concertant. Tal és el cas de les Vespres (Vespro della beate Vergine) de Claudio Monteverdi, i les diverses que va compondre Mozart (vesperae de Dominica i Vesperae solemnes de confessore). Entre les més destacades del segle xx hi ha les de Serguei Rakhmàninov (que responen als cànons de la litúrgia de l'església ortodoxa russa, i les que el compositor txec Petr Eben va escriure sobre un text en català i que s'estrenaren a Montserrat l'any 1968.
Entre els compositors catalans que han escrit vespres o, en tot cas, salms de vespres, hi ha Francesc Valls i Joan Cererols; i entre els valencians, Joan Genís Peres.
The Monument aux Girondins is a dramatic fountain in Bordeaux commemorating the Girondists of the French Revolution.
The Girondists were originally part of France’s Legislative Assembly, becoming one of the groups which supported the French Revolution as it began. In fact, they were one of the legislature’s most militant sections.
However, in October 1793, the Girondists were executed under the orders of one of the leaders of the Revolution, Maximilien Robespierre, after they began opposing the movement.
Take a little walk to the edge of town
And go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires
In the humming wires
You know ya never coming backt

This is one of my photos that has been stolen and used with an image of the Forth Bridge (probably also stolen) by a guy from FreakingNews. In FreakingNews he is called "johnx1" and he has posted there:
"My email and phone are going mental with orders for prints from all over the world and I just got a request to use the image from a science fiction mag who want it on the cover of their next issue."
Here is my photo:
www.flickr.com/photos/wentloog/15514490598/
I have written to him, but he has not replied, so if you know him, he's from Rosyth, Kingdom of Fife, Scotland, and describes himself as a "joiner carpenter, artist and writer", let me know please. If you see this image turn up on a magazine or you have anything to do with FreakingNews and can help, I'd be grateful.
Please feel free to fave or comment on this image, the more of you that do will mean the more people will get to see it and I have a better chance of nailing this thieving SOB.
I have not given him or anyone else permission to use my photo in any way.
Nine times out of ten I give permission for people to use my photos for non-commercial purposes for free, but this guy is just taking the Pee-One-Fifty-Five!
I had an epic road trip for work today. I only managed to stop a couple of times on the way home - this was taken near Oatlands, central Tasmania. The clouds were really doing some amazing things and needed to be photographed. I've photographed this tree before - it owns the hillside and keeps an eye out on the surrounding farmland.
Kalimera my dear Friends :)

The 118-km-long Hadrian’s Wall (UK) was built on the orders of the Emperor Hadrian c. AD 122 at the northernmost limits of the Roman province of Britannia. It is also called the Roman wall, the Picts'wall or in Latin Vallum Hadriani and it is a former defensivesive fortification of the Roman province of Britannia. It is a striking example of the organization of a military zone and illustrates the defensive techniques and geopolitical strategies of ancient Rome.
Formally it was inscribed on the Unesco world heritage list (1987) and it still is, but now as part of the broader transnational property “Frontiers of the Roman Empire”.

Falling is the first thing I feel.
Distant voices echo inside my head.
Their orders are clear,
and yet all I can think about is the others.
Remiel.
Uriel.
Amitiel.
Ithuriel.
Raphael.
Michael.
Each one traveled the same path.
What was their fate?
What awaits me on the other side?
They have gone to a place where the light
is cursed and darkness blinds the soul.
This is a place
where even angels fear to tread.
Despite leaving my house under full cloud cover, by the time I got to the Onawa area the clouds were clearing up nicely, and Job 1 had gotten a fairly quick departure from Brownville Junction. A hour and a half later, and they're seen here tackling the grade west out of Onawa, passing Little Greenwood Pond with a trio of SD40-2Fs and a GP38-3 for power, with sixty-one cars trailing. This spot is the location of a head-on collision in 1919, where an eastbound freight train misread their train orders, and hit a westbound passenger train of immigrants, killing twenty-three people.
A throwback to 2015 and a group of snappers scramble for position at Barnetby station just 3 months before the signals were decommissioned, in an attempt to bag a few final shots from this one-time semaphore mecca.
The secondary subject on this occasion is DB Cargo Shed 66132, seen here working an iron ore empties from Scunthorpe back to Immingham Dock to collect yet another load for the hungry steelworks' blast furnaces.
Plenty of heat-haze coming off the loco which, despite the box wagons being empty, still looks like it's putting in a shift.

Amritsar (Inde) - En juin 1984, le Temple d'Or a été le théâtre d'un massacre dont les Shiks ont été les victimes. Occupé par un groupe d'indépendantistes sikhs sous les ordres de Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, après l'échec des négociations avec la Fédération indienne, l'assaut est ordonné par le premier ministre de l'époque : Indira Gandhi.
A l'issue de la bataille, on déplore 493 tués chez les mutins, dont 100 femmes et 75 enfants. Auxquels il faut ajouter les 86 blessés qui n'ont pas été exécutés. Les militaires indiens quant à eux, auraient perdu 334 hommes (86 morts et 248 blessés).
Le Temple d'Or souillé du sang des insurgés et profané par les bottes des assaillants, est considéré comme une insulte irréparable par les extrémistes sikhs. Cet attaque militaire appelée « Opération Blue star », ne pouvait rester impunie selon les Sikhs. Elle aura pour conséquence le 31 octobre de la même année, l'assassinat d'Indira Gandhi, abattue par ses deux gardes du corps sikhs.
Aujourd’hui, Sikhs et Hindous ont enterré la hache de guerre et évitent d’évoquer cet épisode tragique de leur récente histoire. La raison l'a emporté face aux ressentiments. Dans leur Temple sacré, les Sikhs accueillent de nouveau tous les visiteurs, offrant le gîte et le couvert à ceux qui en font la demande. Sans distinction de statut social ou de religion. Un principe à méditer.
Operation Bluestar
Amritsar (India) - In June 1984, the Golden Temple was the scene of a massacre, of which the Shiks were the victims. Occupied by a group of Sikh separatists under the orders of Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, after the failure of negotiations with the Indian Federation, the attack was ordered by the Prime Minister of the time: Indira Gandhi.
At the end of the battle, 493 mutineers were killed, including 100 women and 75 children. To which must be added the 86 wounded who were not executed. The Indian military meanwhile, would have lost 334 men (86 dead and 248 wounded).
The Golden Temple, stained with the blood of the insurgents and desecrated by the boots of the assailants, is considered an irreparable insult by the Sikh extremists. This military attack called "Operation Blue Star", could not go unpunished according to the Sikhs. It will result on October 31 of the same year, the assassination of Indira Gandhi, killed by her two bodyguards of Sikh faith.
Today, Sikhs and Hindus have buried the hatchet and avoid evoking this tragic episode in their recent history. Reason prevailed in the face of resentment. In their sacred Temple, the Sikhs once again welcome all visitors, offering room and board to those who request it. Without distinction of social status or religion. A principle to ponder.

Stone face, you do stare
Your skin is wet, and its bare
Your eyes they hold me in a trance
As the birds , above they dance
Stone face, i am your slave
I follow the orders, you have made
I stroke your skin, its soft and tender
You lure me in, strange worlds i enter
Stone face, i feel your connection
It takes me to another dimension
Beyond this life, that i have
known
To a place , where my mind is blown
Christmas tree plantation.
Nobody really knows what the end of year festivities will look like this year, but hopefully they will still include trees.

The Torres de Serranos is one of the original gates that protected the Medieval city of Valencia. It's worth a visit, not least as the rooftop gives good views over the city.
Click here to see more photos from my trip to Valencia : www.flickr.com/photos/darrellg/albums/72177720331217491
From Wikipedia, "The Serrans Gate or Serranos Gate (Valencian: Porta dels Serrans; Spanish: Puerta de Serranos, also known as Serrans Towers or Serranos Towers (Valencian: Torres dels Serrans; Spanish: Torres de Serranos) is one of the twelve gates that formed part of the ancient city wall, the Christian Wall (Muralla cristiana), of the city of Valencia, Spain. It was built in Valencian Gothic style at the end of the 14th century (between 1392 and 1398).
It is an important landmark and one of the best preserved monuments of Valencia. Of the ancient city wall, which was pulled down in 1865 on the orders of the provincial governor Cirilio Amorós, only the Serrans Towers, the 15th century Quart Towers, and some other archaeological remains and ruins, such as those of the Jewish Gate (Puerta de los Judíos), have survived."

The Damme Canal (French: Canal de Damme. Dutch: Damse Vaart or Napoleonvaart) is a canal in the Belgian province of West Flanders. The canal links Bruges with the Western Scheldt at Sluis (now across the frontier in The Netherlands). It was constructed on the orders of Napoleon Bonaparte who wished to create a canal network in order to permit the efficient transport of troops without the risk of disruptive interventions from the British navy.
Following the defeat of Napoleon, the original strategic imperative for the canal was removed. The plans in the Napoleonic era had called for a link to the Scheldt at Breskens. Half a century later the canal opened to traffic in 1856, and the link with the sea had moved to Sluis.
At Damme the canal crosses the Leopold Canal and the Schipdonk Canal, both of which were dug in the middle years of the nineteenth century in order to reduce the vulnerability of the Belgian canal network to Dutch interference, after the achievement in 1830 of Belgian independence. It was necessary to create a system of Siphons because of the differences in water level of the three canals. The canal was used until 1940 when French troops destroyed the siphon system: this put an end to maritime transport on the Damme Canal.
After war use of the canal resumed, but it was used now by pleasure boats, along with a tourist boat connecting Damme and Bruges.
