La grotte de Lombrives, située à Ussat-les-Bains dans l'Ariège, est l'une des plus vastes d'Europe avec un réseau de 14 kms.
Abri pour les hommes de la préhistoire, les Magdaléniens, lieu de sépulture pour l’homme de l’âge de bronze, lieu sacré cathare … Lombrives est un refuge, depuis des millénaires. C’est ainsi que l’on trouve des parois ornées de multiples signatures et signes énigmatiques, certains datant du XIIème siècle. Il serait même mentionné, par une écriture, que le roi Henri IV serait venu faire une visite dans la grotte en 1578.
The Lombrives cave, located in Ussat-les-Bains in Ariège, is one of the largest in Europe with a network of 14 km.
Shelter for prehistoric men, the Magdalenians, burial place for Bronze Age man, Cathar sacred place... Lombrives has been a refuge for millennia. This is how we find walls decorated with multiple signatures and enigmatic signs, some dating from the 12th century. It is even mentioned, in writing, that King Henry IV came to visit the cave in 1578.
Following the news that all PTE's and NBC subsidiaries could no longer operate beyond October 25th 1986. A new company name was needed for the South Yorkshire PTE, plus a new livery. Initial trials saw the addition of a red line above the tan colour of the old PTE livery. With the addition of a red s added to the fleetname.
Again SYT as the PTE would became known, saw a bolder livery emerge from the paintshops. The new livery was a tan skirt, with poppy red up to the lower saloon windows. Cameo cream was added to the remainder of the vehicle with a red and tan line between decks. The overall effect was pleasing and by the spring of 1986 the new livery was beginning to be painted on the SYT fleet.
During 2021 the First Sheffield depot at Olive Grove, formerly known as East Bank, was opened to the public. To celebrate the transport heritage of the PTE, with displays of various preserved PTE buses and the repainted Heritage liveries. Which appeared on the selected vehicles from 2013, with two buses painted in Sheffield liveries. To celebrate the centenary of the Lodge Moor route, worked by Sheffield Tramways and the Corporation buses. Number 1 YN58ETX in the tramways livery, 229A YN08LCJ in the Corporation motor bus livery. These were joined in 2014 by Rotherham liveried 1431 YN08LCL, 1230 YN08LCK in the 1972 Doncaster livery. With 524 being painted into the post 1974 tan and cream PTE livery, all three debuted at the Rotherham depot open day.
37529 is the latest First South Yorkshire now known as First Sheffield, to be painted into a heritage livery. This bus debuted at the 2021 Olive Grove open day, evoking memories of the PTE buses running in the area in the fresh livery. Here 37529 which is wondering around as 1529. Seen working the 95a to Meadowhall during the afternoon of February 15th 2022,

Sometimes you don't have to look for the huge open landscapes.
After a storm the snow often has a lot of facinating structures.

Paris XIXe - France
Source : Paris Promeneurs :
Les orgues de Flandre sont un exemple emblématique d’architecture exubérante, construite en réaction à la monotonie des ensembles des années 1950.
L’ensemble de logements sociaux appelé « les orgues de Flandre » est bâti de 1973 à 1980 par l’architecte allemand Martin Schulz van Treek, élève de Jean Ginsberg. Il remplace la Cité des Flamands, jugée vétuste, dont seule l’ancienne porte a été conservée.
Sur une surface d’environ 6 hectares, 4 tours se dressent vers le ciel, à des hauteurs respectives de 82m, 96m, 104, et 123m : elles exaltent la verticalité et sont le fruit d’un travail sculptural sur la forme. Ces tours portent toutes des noms qui évoquent la musicalité de cette architecture : tour Fugue, tour Cantate, tour Sonate, tour Prélude. Cette dernière est encore aujourd’hui la plus haute tour résidentielle à Paris.
Plus radicaux encore sont les 2 bâtiments linéaires (ceux visibles sur la photo) situés le long de l’avenue de Flandre. La spécificité de ces logements est d’être conçus en gradins sortants ou rentrants : les façades en encorbellement « protègent » ainsi le piéton et apportent un côté intimiste à l’ensemble. Au milieu des tours, un espace vert d’un hectare isole les enfants de la rue.
Cela faisait assez longtemps que je voulais y aller, mais j'oubliais à chaque fois :-)
Vraiment difficile à photographier parce que quel que soit l'endroit où l'on se positionne, on manque toujours de recul.
A mon avis, un équivalent 18mm aurait été plus adapté. Ici, c'est un équivalent 24mm... (Loic, à toi de jouer :) )
Il y avait un groupe de jeunes, je leurs ai demandé s'il y avait un endroit surélevé et avec plus de recule pour photographier, mais ils m'ont répondu que non.
Pour finir, les 2 spots du fond étaient d'une violence incroyable. Ils ne m'ont pas facilité la tâche. That's life :)

Et deux lacs si différents...

First flown with the Airbus test registration D-AVZM, it was re-registered D-ASSY a few days later. The aircraft was delivered to ILFC International Lease Finance Corporation and leased to UK charter airline, Air World as G-BXAW in Mar-97. Air World was merged into Flying Colours Airlines in Nov-98 and it returned to the lessor in early Jan-99.
It was leased to Air Jamaica as 6J-JMD a few days later and returned to the lessor 10 years later, in mid Mar-09. The aircraft was leased to Turkuaz Airlines (Turkey) as TC-TCE in May-09. It was wet-leased to Al Wafeer Air (Saudi Arabia) for a Haj Pilgrimage operation between Oct/Dec-10. Turkuaz ceased operations at the end of the lease and the aircraft was returned to the lessor and stored at Medina, Saudi Arabia.
In Mar-11 the aircraft was re-registered N851LF and moved to Shannon, Ireland for further storage in May-11. It was re-registered again in Aug-11, this time as EI-ESI and remained stored at Shannon.

The aircraft was leased to Olympus Airways (Greece) in Jul-16, using the same registration. It was wet-leased to Air Moldova the following day and returned to Olympus in Mar-17. It was wet-leased to Wings of Lebanon, short-term, between Apr/May-17 and then to Windrose Aviation (Ukraine) between May/Oct-17.

[Having returned home and as we inch into late Fall and Winter with no plans for extended photo trips until next year, I resume uploading the rest of my selected photos from 2020 (10 per day, usually in the morning CET), as well as a selection of my current, 2021 photos (usually 3 or 4 per day, in the evening CET).]
The Gers is a small part of the region of Aquitaine, which covers most of southwestern France. On July 2020, we rented a house for three weeks in the Gers area, and commencing today, I will upload a selection of the photographs I took while we were there. I hope you will enjoy them!
As usual, I will caption more specifically in bold type below whenever necessary.
As announced yesterday, here are two last photographs of the fortified village of Laressingle, one of the Plus beaux villages de France.
This is the fortified Romanesque church. It was quite a large church for such a small settlement (even though there were of course farms and hamlets in the surroundings), and it was obviously truncated to make way for the castle, which was built later and needed to fit within the sheet wall. It is an interesting (and rare in those days) example of the religious having to make way for the secular.
At some point, there was obviously a direct, elevated passage between the castle on the left and the church, probably giving access to a tribune from which the local lord, his family and guests could attend Mass.
Unfortunately, the church was closed and we didn’t have a chance to peek inside.
CT Plus only have one fairly new double decker and this is it - HEA1. It's a E40 hybrid and is seen leaving Stratford City bus station on the 388 to Blackfriars.
One thing that sets Hot Plus apart is that they use little metal adjustment buckles in strategic places to customize the fit of their clothing. They may look like they unbuckle, but it's a fake -- they just slide up and down.
Unfortunately, the one that adjusts the thong ends up putting the buckle in a very uncomfortable looking place.
