Die Fantastische Reise mit dem Orient Express !
13.Eiszeit 19.12.15 - 31.10.16 Rövershagen bei Rostock
Vuelve hacia atrás la vista, caminante,
verás lo que te queda de camino;
desde el oriente de tu cuna el sino
ilumina tu marcha hacia adelante.
Es del pasado el porvenir semblante;
como se irá la vida así se vino;
cabe volver las riendas del destino
como se vuelve del revés un guante.
Lleva tu espalda reflejado el frente;
sube la niebla por el río arriba
y se resuelve encima de la fuente;
la lanzadera en su vaivén se aviva;
desnacerás un día de repente;
nunca sabrás dónde el misterio estriba.
(Miguel de Unamuno)

L'Orient Express, il treno a lunga percorrenza più famoso al mondo, appena arrivato alla stazione di Palermo Centrale.
Il lussuoso convoglio degli anni 20, appartenuto alla Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-lits, è arrivato in Italia per promuovere il progetto turistico "il Treno della Dolce Vita", nato dalla collaborazione tra Arsenale SpA e Trenitalia e che realizzerà i nuovi treni crociera italiani dal 2023.
Il treno è arrivato a Palermo composto dalla locomotiva e646-028 della Fondazione FS, tre carrozze ristorante e tre carrozze pullman di cui una saloon bar.
Valle de Estós, La Ribagorza, Huesca, Aragón, España.
El valle de Estós (en aragonés benasqués Vall d'Estós o Ball d'Estós) es un valle pirenaico situado en la comarca aragonesa de La Ribagorza.
Se ubica en la zona noroccidental del valle de Benasque (noreste de la provincia de Huesca) y dentro del parque natural Posets-Maladeta. Al norte de este valle, que es de origen glaciar, está el macizo del Perdiguero (3.221 m), y al sur el macizo del Posets (3.375 m). Este valle, orientado de oeste a este, tiene una longitud aproximada de 12 km y en el fondo de él transcurren las aguas del río Estós, afluente del río Ésera. Clarabides, Gías, Oô, son picos que también superan los 3.000 m y hacen frontera con Francia. La altitud del valle oscila entre los 1.400 m y los 3.375 m.
Desde el año 1994 forma parte del parque natural de Posets-Maladeta por sus importantes valores ecológicos. El paisaje predominante es el de la alta montaña pirenaica con buena representación de los pisos climáticos alpino, subalpino y montano. La flora predominante son los pastizales de montaña y los bosques, de coníferas (pino negro y abeto), de caducifolios (haya, álamo temblón, abedul, sauce, arce y avellano) y como principales arbustos el boj, enebro y rododendro. También se encuentran algunos endemismos pirenaicos. En cuanto a la fauna, encontramos a todos los animales presentes en los ecosistemasde la alta montaña pirenaica destacando una importante población de sarrios y corzos y como aves más representativas el urogallo, la perdiz nival y el quebrantahuesos.
El río Estós, al que afluyen múltiples barrancos y torrentes procedentes de los numerosos ibones (lagos de origen glaciar), de las nieves perpetuas y de algunos de los glaciares más meridionales de Europa, recorre el fondo del valle.
El valle tiene un gran atractivo turístico para los amantes de las excursiones de montaña, de la escalada, el esquí de montaña y el alpinismo. También se practica la pesca de la trucha y la caza mayor (sarrios, corzos y jabalíes). En la época veraniega sus laderas son lugar de pasto de un gran rebaño de vacas.
El acceso al valle se realiza preferentemente a pie a través de una red de senderos bien señalizados, aunque hay una pista forestal restringida al tránsito de vehículos autorizados. A lo largo del camino encontramos numerosas cabañas de pastores y un refugio de montaña guardado (1.895 m) gestionado por un guarda de la Federación Aragonesa de Montaña.
The Estós Valley (in Benasquese Aragonese, Vall d'Estós or Ball d'Estós) is a Pyrenean valley located in the Aragonese region of La Ribagorza.
It lies in the northwestern part of the Benasque Valley (northeast of the province of Huesca) and within the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park. To the north of this valley, which is of glacial origin, is the Perdiguero massif (3,221 m), and to the south, the Posets massif (3,375 m). This valley, oriented from west to east, is approximately 12 km long, and the Estós River, a tributary of the Ésera River, flows through its bottom. Clarabides, Gías, and Oô are peaks that also exceed 3,000 m and form the border with France. The valley's altitude ranges from 1,400 m to 3,375 m.
Since 1994, it has been part of the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park due to its significant ecological value. The predominant landscape is that of the high Pyrenees, with a good representation of the alpine, subalpine, and montane climate zones. The predominant flora consists of mountain pastures and forests, including conifers (black pine and fir), deciduous trees (beech, aspen, birch, willow, maple, and hazel), and, as main shrubs, boxwood, juniper, and rhododendron. Several Pyrenean endemic species are also found. As for the fauna, all the animals present in the high Pyrenean mountain ecosystems are found here, with a significant population of Pyrenean chamois and roe deer, and the most representative birds being the capercaillie, the ptarmigan, and the bearded vulture.
The Estós River, fed by numerous ravines and streams originating from the many glacial lakes (ibones), the permanent snowfields, and some of the southernmost glaciers in Europe, flows through the valley floor.
The valley is a popular tourist destination for mountain hikers, climbers, ski mountaineers, and alpinists. Trout fishing and big game hunting (chamois, roe deer, and wild boar) are also popular. In the summer, its slopes serve as grazing land for a large herd of cattle.
Access to the valley is primarily on foot via a network of well-marked trails, although there is a forest track restricted to authorized vehicles. Along the way, you'll find numerous shepherd's huts and a staffed mountain refuge (1,895 m) managed by a warden from the Aragonese Mountain Federation.

Pitt Lake is the second-largest lake in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. About 53.5 square kilometres in area, it is about 25 km long and about 4.5 km wide at its widest. It is one of the world's relatively few tidal lakes, and among the largest. In Pitt Lake, there is on average a three foot tide range; thus Pitt Lake is separated from sea level and tidal waters during most hours of each day during the 15 foot tide cycle of the Pitt River and Strait of Georgia estuary immediately downstream.The lake's southern tip is 20 km upstream from The Pitt River confluence with the Fraser River and is 40 km east of Downtown Vancouver.
Pitt Lake is in a typical U-shaped glacial valley in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains. The overdeepening of the lower end of the valley over the span of the Wisconsin glaciation created a trough over 140 m below current sea level. After initial glacial retreat at around 13,000 years ago a saltwater fjord occupied this basin when relative sea levels were still ca 120 to 140m above current levels in the region. Unlike neighbouring Indian Arm and Howe Sound farther west, this fjord basin became partly cut off from tidal waters by sedimentation of the lower Fraser River ca 10,500 years ago, and Pitt Lake is now considered a tidal fjord lake.
Pitt Lake is the second largest of a series of north-south oriented fjord-lakes incising the southern slopes of the Pacific Ranges, the largest being Harrison Lake located 60 km to the east. The other fjord-lakes include Coquitlam Lake, Alouette Lake, Stave Lake, and Chehalis Lake.
The Pitt River drains into the northern end of Pitt Lake. The western shore of Pitt Lake are protected within Pinecone Burke Provincial Park, while most of the eastern shore are protected within Golden Ears Provincial Park. The southern end of Pitt Lake features an extensive marshland called Pitt Polder. While most of this marshland has since been drained for agricultural use, the northernmost portion is strictly protected in order to provide critical habitat for migratory birds.
Communities
The community of Pitt Meadows and the First Nations reserve of Pitt Lake Indian Reserve 5 are located at the southern end of the lake. Just southwest of the lake is the community of Port Coquitlam, which is across the Pitt River from Pitt Meadows. At the north end of the lake is a locality named Alvin, which is a transport and shipping point for logging companies and their employees.

Op het eerste zicht zal u waarschijnlijk de loc en zijn bijzondere trein opvallen. Wat mij nog veel meer opvalt, zijn de buurtbewoners die massaal naar buiten zijn gekomen om een trein voorbij te zien rijden. Even stond ik nog alleen maar al snel stonden Sus, Pol en Peer naast me - en vooral voor me. Gelukkig heb ik ze allemaal op één lijn kunnen krijgen, ook Julia en Suzanne, zodat ik alsnog een trein kon fotograferen en niet gewoon een bende toeschouwers. Het leek wel alsof de koers voorbij kwam, enkel de wagen van Rodania ontbrak om de komst aan te kondigen van de Oriënt Express uit Amsterdam op weg naar Venetië. Een bijzondere belevenis.
"You are the patient one Mademoiselle," said Poirot to Miss Debenham.
She shrugged her shoulders slightly "What else can one do?"
"You are a philosopher Mademoiselle?"
"That implies a detatched attitude I think my attitude is more selfish. I have learned to save myself useless emotion."

C'est un dolmen de type angevin orienté nord-ouest/sud-est. La table de couverture, brisée en deux fragments, repose sur cinq orthostates, et un sixième pilier est renversé à l'intérieur de la chambre. Les deux piliers encore debout, devant l'entrée, correspondent aux vestiges du portique. La chambre mesure environ 6 m de longueur, pour une largeur comprise entre 2,50 m au fond et 2 m côté entrée, pour et 1,50 m de hauteur. Un pilier comporte une trace d'incision. Deux blocs disposés parallèlement aux orthostates près de l'entrée pourraient correspondre à des éléments de compartimentation interne à la chambre
Waiting to board the exotic Orient Express on a dynamic Istanbul night. Maybe Miss Marple is already on board. Maybe there is a murder to be solved. Maybe.

In August 2000, my wife and I made a trip across Canada on the American Orient Express (AOE) from Vancouver, British Columbia, to Montreal, Quebec. The train traveled mostly over CN rails, stopping at various locations for sightseeing or servicing. Two CN motors and an Amtrak F40 were our power for this part of the journey. In this scene, the train is stopped for servicing and some leg-stretching at Capreol, Ontario, on August 17, 2000. Our assigned AOE sleeping car was the BERLIN, which now rolls as a private car for Patrick Henry Creative Promotions of Houston, Texas, becoming the third car operating under that banner.
Ce canal se situe au cœur du quartier Christianshavn à København (Copenhague), la capitale du Danemark.
Une vue vers le nord-est à partir de la rue Christianshavns Kanal qui longe la rive ouest de ce canal.
Dans les années 1617 à 1622, le roi Christian IV fit construire ce nouveau quartier sur pilotis au-dessus des eaux peu profondes reliant les canaux du port à l'île d'Amager. Le modèle choisi fut celui d'une cité néerlandaise avec un canal séparant la partie basse de la partie haute. L'endroit a un air d'Amsterdam et n'ayant jamais été touché par les incendies, nombre de bâtiments d'origine s'y dressent encore. Dès sa fondation, les activités liées à la mer modelèrent le quartier, ce dont témoignent les places de commerces où, trois siècles durant, les navires arrivant d'Extrême-Orient ou de l'océan Arctique déchargeait leurs cargaisons.
De 12,6 km de longueur, le ruisseau d'Estours prend sa source dans les Pyrénées ariégeoises, au sud-est du mont Valier (2 838 mètres), non loin de la frontière espagnole. Il se nomme alors ruisseau de l'Artigue et son cours s'oriente du sud-ouest vers le nord-est. Les pentes de sa vallée sont presque entièrement boisées (forêt de Seix). Il se jette dans le Salat en rive gauche, à deux kilomètres en amont de la localité de Seix.(Wikipédia)
Je reprends peu à peu le traitement des photos prises en voyage cet été dans le "Rest of Canada" être devant mon ordinateur au milieu de si beaux paysages était le dernier de mes envies, aujourd'hui ça me donne l'impression d'en revivre qqs instants.
I gradually resume processing of my travel photos taken this summer in the "Rest of Canada" to be at my computer amidst of such beautiful scenery was the last of my desires at the time, now it gives me the impression to relive some of those moments.
