Torretta Pepoli
Il conte Agostino Pepoli, (1848-1911) studioso, cultore del bello e mecenate intorno al 1870 fece costruire una “torretta”, rifugio silenzioso per le sue meditazioni, ritrovo ideale, in quegli anni, di uomini di cultura, artisti e quali il letterato Ugo Antonio Amico, il musicologo Alberto Favara, l’archeologo Antonino Salinas, il ministro Nunzio Nasi ed altri.
Recentemente inaugurata, oggi la Torretta, dopo un sapiente lavoro di restauro viene restituita alla comunità internazionale e alla pubblica fruizione turistico-culturale, come Osservatorio permanente di Pace e Faro del Mediterraneo.
Al suo interno verrà installato un Museo interattivo multimediale, un innovativo modo di fruizione culturale, un viaggio tra storia, cultura, mito e tradizione dei personaggi e della città di Erice raccontato dalla stessa voce del Conte A. Pepoli.

ERICE
(Monte San Giuliano fino al 1934, Èrici o U Munti in siciliano) è un comune italiano di 27 874 abitanti della provincia di Trapani in Sicilia.
Nel centro cittadino che è posto sulla vetta dell'omonimo Monte Erice, sono residenti solo 512 abitanti (popolazione che si decuplica nel periodo estivo), mentre la maggior parte della popolazione si concentra a Valle, nell'abitato di Casa Santa, contiguo alla città di Trapani. Il nome di Erice deriva da Erix, un personaggio mitologico, figlio di Afrodite e di Bute, ucciso da Eracle. Dal 1167 al 1934 ebbe il nome di Monte San Giuliano. Fa parte del circuito dei borghi più belli d'Italia in qualità di ospite onorario.

A northern mockingbird photographed in my front yard in a palm tree by my picture window. The bird sang for me for three consecutive days. The shot was taken in partial shade.
The northern mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) is the only mockingbird commonly found in North America. This bird is mainly a permanent resident, but northern birds may move south during harsh weather.
The northern mockingbird is known for its mimicking ability, as reflected by the meaning of its scientific name, "many-tongued mimic".
The northern mockingbird is an omnivore. It eats both insects and fruits. It is often found in open areas and forest edges but forages in grassy land.
The northern mockingbird is listed as of Least Concern according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). – Wikipedia
Þingvellir was the site of the Alþing, the annual parliament of Iceland from the year 930 until the last session held at Þingvellir in 1798. Since 1881, the parliament has been located within Alþingishúsið in Reykjavík.
Þingvellir is now a national park in the municipality of Bláskógabyggð in southwestern Iceland, about 40 km (25 miles) northeast of Iceland's capital, Reykjavík. Þingvellir is a site of historical, cultural, and geological significance, and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Iceland. The park lies in a rift valley that marks the crest of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. To its south lies Þingvallavatn, the largest natural lake in Iceland.
Þingvellir National Park was founded in 1930, marking the 1000th anniversary of the Althing. The park was later expanded to protect the diverse and natural phenomena in the surrounding area, and was designated as a World Heritage Site in 2004.
Þingvellir became a national park as a result of legislation passed in 1928 to protect the remains of the parliament site, thus creating the first national park in Iceland. The park was decreed "a protected national shrine for all Icelanders, the perpetual property of the Icelandic nation under the preservation of parliament, never to be sold or mortgaged.
According to the Book of Settlements (Landnámabók), the settlement of Iceland began in 874, when the Norwegian chieftain Ingólfr Arnarson became the first permanent Norwegian settler on the island. Over the next centuries, people of Norse and Celtic origin settled in Iceland. Early on, district assemblies were formed, but as the population grew, there was a need for a general assembly. The descendants of Ingólfur who dominated the region of southwest Iceland had become the most powerful family in the country, and other chieftains felt a need for a general assembly to limit their power.
Grímur Geitskör was allotted the role of rallying support and finding a suitable location for the assembly. At about the same time, the owner of Bláskógar (the contemporary name for the Þingvellir region) was found guilty of murder. His land was declared public, and then obligated to be used for assembly proceedings, and the building of temporary dwellings, and the forest to be used for kindling and the grazing of horses. The Þingvellir area was chosen for this reason and for its accessibility to the most populous regions of the north, south and west. The longest journey a goði (chieftain) had to travel was 17 days, from the easternmost part of the country where mountains and glacial rivers proved bothersome obstacles.
The foundation of the Icelandic parliament is said to be the founding of the nation of Iceland, and the first parliamentary proceedings in the summer of 930 laid the ground for a common cultural heritage and national identity. Þingvellir played a central role in the history of the country, and its history runs almost parallel with the history of the Icelandic Commonwealth.
This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Temporary/Permanent. Autumn's beauty is fleeting, but Swans mate for life. HMMM!

Cattle Egret - Bubulcus ibis
The cattle egret (Bubulcus ibis) is a cosmopolitan species of heron (family Ardeidae) found in the tropics, subtropics and warm temperate zones.
It is a white bird adorned with buff plumes in the breeding season. It nests in colonies, usually near bodies of water and often with other wading birds. The nest is a platform of sticks in trees or shrubs. Cattle egrets exploit drier and open habitats more than other heron species. Their feeding habitats include seasonally inundated grasslands, pastures, farmlands, wetlands and rice paddies. They often accompany cattle or other large mammals, catching insect and small vertebrate prey disturbed by these animals. Some populations of the cattle egret are migratory and others show post-breeding dispersal.
The cattle egret has undergone one of the most rapid and wide reaching natural expansions of any bird species.It was originally native to parts of Southern Spain and Portugal, tropical and subtropical Africa and humid tropical and subtropical Asia. In the end of the 19th century it began expanding its range into southern Africa, first breeding in the Cape Province in 1908. Cattle egrets were first sighted in the Americas on the boundary of Guiana and Suriname in 1877, having apparently flown across the Atlantic Ocean. It was not until the 1930s that the species is thought to have become established in that area.
The species first arrived in North America in 1941 (these early sightings were originally dismissed as escapees), bred in Florida in 1953, and spread rapidly, breeding for the first time in Canada in 1962. It is now commonly seen as far west as California. It was first recorded breeding in Cuba in 1957, in Costa Rica in 1958, and in Mexico in 1963, although it was probably established before that. In Europe, the species had historically declined in Spain and Portugal, but in the latter part of the 20th century it expanded back through the Iberian Peninsula, and then began to colonise other parts of Europe; southern France in 1958, northern France in 1981 and Italy in 1985.
Breeding in the United Kingdom was recorded for the first time in 2008 only a year after an influx seen in the previous year. In 2008, cattle egrets were also reported as having moved into Ireland for the first time. This trend has continued and cattle egrets have become more numerous in southern Britain with influxes in some numbers during the non breeding seasons of 2007/08 and 2016/17. They bred in Britain again in 2017, following an influx in the previous winter, and may become established there.
In Australia, the colonisation began in the 1940s, with the species establishing itself in the north and east of the continent. It began to regularly visit New Zealand in the 1960s. Since 1948 the cattle egret has been permanently resident in Israel. Prior to 1948 it was only a winter visitor.

First permanent establishments
In 1635, the first seigneurie was granted on the territory of Cape-Rouge, but revoked the following year by the Company of One Hundred Associates. However, by 1638 Paul Le Jeune, a missionary Jesuit, had noted in The Jesuit Relations the presence of some families in the valley.[1] Between 1647 and 1652, the seigneuries of Maur, on the west, and Gaudarville, in the east, were established on the territory. From that moment, based on taxable citizens, the settlement on the lands of Cap-Rouge are established. The village formed is served by the parishes of Ancienne-Lorette in (1678) to the north; of Saint-Augustin in (1691) on the west; and of Sainte-Foy (1698) in the east.
Geography
The beach of Plage Jacques Cartier and the cliffs of Cap-Rouge.
The name of Cap-Rouge, meaning "red cape", comes from its cliffs facing the Saint-Lawrence river and made of schist rock bearing a reddish tint. The other main topographic feature of Cap-Rouge is the Rivière du Cap Rouge valley where are concentrated some historic buildings as well the archeological remains of a pottery workshop active from 1860 to 1892. It is believed that until the end of its operations the workshop mainly used imported clay rather than the local one, which has a rather red hue.
The Cap-Rouge area is located to the south of the Canadian Shield and Laurentian Mountains, at the confluence of the geological regions of the Saint Lawrence Lowlands and of the northern Appalachians. It mostly sits at the western foot of the Quebec promontory, in the way of the Logan's Line - an inactive fracture in the Earth's crust first documented by Sir William Edmond Logan.
Sadly, as of March 2025, the historic Bull Run Bridge (also known as Jenkinsburg Bridge) was permanently closed to vehicles due to safety concerns and to prevent damage to the bridge. Built in 1912 by the Canton Bridge Company, the stunning through-truss bridge traverses West Virginia's very remote and scenic Cheat River Canyon. It rests about 70 feet above a pristine setting on the river known as Blue Hole. [Flickr Explore, November 23, 2025.]
This is my postcard for Angharad. She thinks I'm always alone on the beach as I scare people away !!! This was taken after sunset on Hosta beach, when this group of "silly ladies" asked me to take some photos of them . I'm amazed they came out and were in focus , as it was quite dark. They were celebrating Rose's birthday, and were just a wonderful group of "silly ladies ". I did warn them I don't take photos of people. Permanently lonely is by Phosphorescent.

Macro Monday - Wavy lines
This is a section of a plug in air freshener casing. I found it in the cupboard recently and after thinking I wasn't going to find anything for the MM theme, I remembered this had wavy lines. It's quite grainy as hand held with very high ISO. Couldn't be faffing with a tripod in this heat. I also added a texture (my own) which added to the grainy look and enhanced the aqua colour. HMM

Closed permanently in 1994, this 1926-built 500 seat theater is currently undergoing renovation. At present the metal facing above the marquee has been removed to expose the original architecture.
The Polly Woodside is permanently sited at South Wharf in Melbourne.
Polly Woodside is a Belfast-built, three-masted, iron-hulled barque, preserved in Melbourne, Australia, and forming the central feature of the South Wharf precinct. The ship was originally built in Belfast by William J. Woodside and was launched in 1885. Polly Woodside is typical of thousands of smaller iron barques built in the last days of sail, intended for deep water trade around the world and designed to be operated as economically as possible.

Le village d'Hobbiton a été reconstitué à Shires Rest, le centre d’accueil situé au 501 Buckland Road, ville de Matamata, dans la région de Waikato, en Nouvelle-Zélande.
Une vue durant la visite guidée à pied du village.
Des jardiniers entretiennent réellement ce potager dans le village, donnant encore plus de réalisme à celui-ci!
Hobbiton c’est l’un des nombreux villages qui parsèment La Comté (The Shire dans sa version originale) où les maisons ont l’apparence de terriers creusés à flanc de colline. “La Comté”, imaginée par J. R. R. Tolkien, est une parodie de l’Angleterre rurale du Moyen Âge. C’est le royaume des Hobbits, également appelés semi-hommes, qui vivent de l’agriculture.
Shires Rest est le centre d'accueil officiel pour toutes les visites du Hobbiton Movie Set Tours (plateaux de tournage du film Hobbit). Désormais connu pour abriter les seuls décors permanents de la trilogie du Seigneur des Anneaux de Peter Jackson, Shires Rest est le point de départ et d'arrivée de chaque visite des décors du film. En effet, ceux-ci se trouvent sur une propriété privée appartenant à des fermiers, et pour y accéder, le seul moyen est donc de faire le tour guidé du Hobbiton Movie Set Tours.
Les décors découverts lors de la visite guidée reconstituent Hobbiton ou Hobbitebourg, le principal village de La Comté imaginée par J. R. R. Tolkien pour ses deux romans les plus connus, Le Hobbit et Le Seigneur des anneaux, qui prennent place dans l'univers de fiction de la Terre du Milieu dont il développa la géographie, les peuples, l'histoire et les langues durant la majeure partie de sa vie.

An image of the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Germany. It was originally built by Werner March for the 1936 Summer Olympics. During the Olympics, the record attendance was thought to be over 100,000. Today the stadium is part of the Olympiapark Berlin.
Since renovations in 2004, the Olympiastadion has a permanent capacity of 74,475 seats and is the largest stadium in Germany for international football matches. Olympiastadion is a UEFA category four stadium and one of the world's most prestigious venues for sporting and entertainment events.
The stadium has been used as the home venue for the Bundesliga's Hertha BSC since 1963. It has also hosted many international matches, and was a venue for the 2006 World Cup where it hosted 6 matches including the Final. It has also hosted many Rock concerts including The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Genesis and U2.

The Hotel Childress opened in the late 1920s. Can't say when it closed. The hotel survived into the 1950s when several renovations where done. It may have survived into the 1960s or 1970s. The sign on ground level was for the hotel coffee shop. The building was purchased in 2016 and I'm not sure what the new owner's plans are for the structure. Childress, Texas. 6.26.2015.
Growing up in Ireland I was permanently cold in the small country town that I grew up in in the 60s/70s. I would literally hug the radiator at the back of the classroom at my convent school looking out the window at the moody rainy sky and dreaming of warmer climes and blue skies. I would skip class and bury my head in books by the convent library heater and read books by the likes of Lawrence Durrell and dreamed of the calm blue mediterranean sky and seas.
As soon as I finished school - I ran out of Ireland , on a one way ticket, to travel and chase the sun and the warmth and ended up choosing Australia - and ultimately Bondi Beach - as the place where I lay my hat. Up until four years ago - pre camera days - it was the summer and the spring that were my seasons.
But now the autumn and the winter have become my favourite - the skies, the weather, the surf , the moodiness, the deserted beaches.
And now...well now, I keep putting off going back to Ireland as I am afraid, if I return, I will not leave . The camera has led me down a path where I now love mist, rain, mood, changing light, stormy wild seas, the empty beaches ...the greens .
It does appear my fine flickr friends that you can take the girl out of the country........but not the country out of the girl ;).
