The Halema'Uma'U crater as seen from the Jaggar Lookout at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. This was taken in late April, just before the eruption on the Big Island. The park ranger told me that the crater was the most active it had been in two years that evening.

This is a neighbourhood like no other. Centrally located on North Vancouver’s vibrant waterfront with unobstructed views of Vancouver’s stunning skyline to the south and the soaring North Shore Mountains to the north, The Shipyards District, one of this city’s oldest and fastest growing urban neighbourhoods, is rich with shipbuilding history and bursting with life.

Triangle vs circle. While the kids are playing we adults get also to play. But I seriously doubt that my daughter was thinking about polygons in this case. :)

I could not get a ventral shot. I will post one later if I get one.

🇫🇷 La tour se trouve à une altitude de 36 mètres sur un éperon rocheux du Golfe de Girolata.
Au XVIème siècle, Girolata était un des endroits les plus exposés aux descentes turques. Le site est notamment connu pour avoir été le lieu où fut capturé le grand corsaire turc Dragute avec son escadre le 15 juin 1540 par l’amiral génois Giovannettino Doria.
Son isolement lui conférait une importance particulière : les bateaux ennemis pouvaient séjourner dans cette baie en toute tranquillité, un des rares endroits capable d'abriter leurs galères et autres petits navires des vents W dominants.Les galères à cette époque étaient des bateaux à faible tirant d'eau, généralement guère plus d'1m
Une simple tour génoise ne pouvait suffire à la protection de ce lieu isolé, c’est donc un véritable fortin qui fut construit au milieu du XVIème siècle .
Le fortin est un ensemble défensif constitué d'une enceinte fortifiée, protégeant une tour et ses annexes. L'enceinte est polygonale bastionnée. La tour est constituée de deux constructions imbriquées, élevées sur trois niveaux en moellons de granit. La tour principale est dénommée Torre Grande. S'y accole la Torre Mezza. Une chapelle a été bâtie dans l'enceinte. En contrebas se trouve la poudrière.
Déjà bien réhabilité depuis notre dernier passage en 2022
🇬🇧 The tower stands at an altitude of 36 metres on a rocky outcrop in the Gulf of Girolata.
In the 16th century, Girolata was one of the places most exposed to Turkish raids. The site is particularly well known as the place where the great Turkish corsair Dragute and his fleet were captured on 15 June 1540 by the Genoese admiral Giovannettino Doria.
Its isolation gave it particular importance: enemy ships could stay in this bay in complete tranquillity, as it was one of the few places capable of sheltering their galleys and other small vessels from the prevailing westerly winds. At that time, galleys were shallow-draft vessels, generally no more than 1 m deep.
A simple Genoese tower was not sufficient to protect this isolated location, so a small fort was built in the mid-16th century.
The fort is a defensive complex consisting of a fortified enclosure protecting a tower and its annexes. The enclosure is polygonal with bastions. The tower consists of two interlocking structures, built on three levels of granite rubble. The main tower is called Torre Grande. Adjacent to it is the Torre Mezza. A chapel was built within the enclosure. Below is the powder magazine.
Already well restored since our last visit in 2022.
🇩🇪 Der Turm befindet sich auf einer Höhe von 36 Metern auf einem Felsvorsprung am Golf von Girolata.
Im 16. Jahrhundert war Girolata einer der Orte, die am stärksten den Überfällen der Türken ausgesetzt waren. Der Ort ist insbesondere dafür bekannt, dass hier am 15. Juni 1540 der große türkische Korsar Dragute mit seiner Flotte vom genuesischen Admiral Giovannettino Doria gefangen genommen wurde.
Seine Abgeschiedenheit verlieh ihm eine besondere Bedeutung: Feindliche Schiffe konnten in dieser Bucht in aller Ruhe vor Anker gehen, da sie einer der wenigen Orte war, an denen ihre Galeeren und andere kleine Schiffe vor den vorherrschenden Westwinden geschützt waren. Die Galeeren waren zu dieser Zeit Schiffe mit geringem Tiefgang, in der Regel kaum mehr als 1 m.
Ein einfacher genuesischer Turm reichte zum Schutz dieses abgelegenen Ortes nicht aus, daher wurde Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts eine richtige Festung errichtet.
Die Festung ist eine Verteidigungsanlage, die aus einer befestigten Umfriedung besteht, die einen Turm und seine Nebengebäude schützt. Die Umfriedung ist polygonal und mit Bastionen versehen. Der Turm besteht aus zwei ineinander verschachtelten, dreistöckigen Bauwerken aus Granitbruchsteinen. Der Hauptturm wird Torre Grande genannt. An ihn schließt sich der Torre Mezza an. Innerhalb der Umfriedung wurde eine Kapelle errichtet. Unterhalb befindet sich das Pulvermagazin.
Seit unserem letzten Besuch im Jahr 2022 bereits gut saniert.
🇪🇸 La torre se encuentra a una altitud de 36 metros sobre un espolón rocoso del golfo de Girolata.
En el siglo XVI, Girolata era uno de los lugares más expuestos a las incursiones turcas. El lugar es especialmente conocido por haber sido el lugar donde el almirante genovés Giovannettino Doria capturó al gran corsario turco Dragute y su escuadra el 15 de junio de 1540.
Su aislamiento le conferÃa una importancia especial: los barcos enemigos podÃan permanecer en esta bahÃa con total tranquilidad, ya que era uno de los pocos lugares capaces de proteger sus galeras y otras embarcaciones pequeñas de los vientos dominantes del oeste. Las galeras de la época eran barcos de poco calado, generalmente de poco más de 1 m.
Una simple torre genovesa no bastaba para proteger este lugar aislado, por lo que a mediados del siglo XVI se construyó una auténtica fortaleza.
La fortaleza es un conjunto defensivo formado por una muralla fortificada que protege una torre y sus anexos. La muralla es poligonal y bastionada. La torre está formada por dos construcciones entrelazadas, elevadas en tres niveles y construidas con mamposterÃa de granito. La torre principal se denomina Torre Grande. A ella se adosa la Torre Mezza. Se construyó una capilla dentro de la muralla. Más abajo se encuentra la pólvora.
Ya está bien rehabilitada desde nuestra última visita en 2022.
🇮🇹 La torre si trova a un'altitudine di 36 metri su uno sperone roccioso del Golfo di Girolata.
Nel XVI secolo, Girolata era uno dei luoghi più esposti alle incursioni turche. Il sito è noto in particolare per essere stato il luogo in cui il grande corsaro turco Dragute fu catturato con la sua flotta il 15 giugno 1540 dall'ammiraglio genovese Giovannettino Doria.
Il suo isolamento le conferiva un'importanza particolare: le navi nemiche potevano sostare in questa baia in tutta tranquillità , uno dei pochi luoghi in grado di riparare le loro galee e altre piccole imbarcazioni dai venti dominanti occidentali. Le galee di quell'epoca erano imbarcazioni a basso pescaggio, generalmente non superiore a 1 m.
Una semplice torre genovese non era sufficiente a proteggere questo luogo isolato, quindi a metà del XVI secolo fu costruito un vero e proprio fortino.
Il fortino è un complesso difensivo costituito da una cinta muraria che protegge una torre e i suoi annessi. La cinta muraria è poligonale e bastionata. La torre è costituita da due costruzioni sovrapposte, elevate su tre livelli in pietra di granito. La torre principale è denominata Torre Grande. Ad essa è annessa la Torre Mezza. All'interno della cinta muraria è stata costruita una cappella. Più in basso si trova la polveriera.

Aquest és el campanar de l'antiga catedral de Sent Liser. Aquest estil constructiu és molt caracteristic del romanic del entorn tolosà .
La vila de Sent LÃser (Saint Lizier en francès) es troba en un puig sobre el riu Salat, just al nord de St. Girons. Té la particularitat de comptar amb no una, sino DUES ex-catedrals. Aquesta és una de les dues, l'altra es troba al cim del nucli antic, i s'anomena N. D. de la Sède. Una cosa molt complicada de legalisme canonic medieval. Sembla que va tenir un sol bisbe però amb dos capitols catedralicis separats. En fi.

=============================================
A view of the romanesque bell-tower of the former cathedral of St. Lizier. This style of tower is quite usual in the Garonne basin.
Saint Lizier (Sent LÃser in occitan) is nice old village above the Salat river. It has the really unusual detail of having TWO former cathedrals. I can't really understand what happened, but it seems that in the middle ages it was the seat of a bishop, but with two cathedrals, and all was abolished during the French Revolution. The other (former) cathedral is known as N. D. de-la-Sède.

Ventilation towers of the Spaarndammer car tunnel.
Designed by: Tjep.
The stainless steel towers consist of folded surfaces with a pattern that is inspired by leaf veins.
In opdracht van de gemeente Amsterdam heeft Tjep. vier torens ontworpen die de ventilatieopeningen van de nieuwe Spaarndammertunnel vormen. De 6 meter hoge roestvrij stalen torens bestaan uit gevouwen vlakken met een patroon dat is geïnspireerd op bladernerven. (architectenweb.nl)

The Gray Comma is found from Alaska to Newfoundland in the north, south in the Appalahian Mountains to North Carolina, and from Kansas west to Wyoming and Colorado. In Alberta, the Gray Comma occurs throughout forested regions and is usually associated with mixed wood forests. They are sighted frequently along roads and in clearings. (Alberta Butterflies)

Ce joli papillon nous est apparu et nous pensions qu'il avait les ailes brisées, mais non il a les ailes dentelées. Je ne mis connaît pas, mais d'après des connaisseurs, il semble que ce soit un polygone virgule.
Tous les polygones sont difficiles à identifier, en particulier les individus aux ailes usées qui volent au printemps.
New photography gallery open in North Vancouver called the The Polygon Gallery. Foggy morning the day I visited.
Recently, I participated in the Macphun architecture photography contest and submitted this and another picture, which where both showcased on their homepage, but unfortunately I didn't win anything. Some of you might know this picture since I already uploaded it, but for the contest I did a slightly less extreme edit and hence I decided to reupload it. Hope you like it!
PS: Sorry for my absence the last weeks, but since people know that I'm singing and playing the guitar I had a lot to do with practicing songs and singing them at christmas concerts :) Hope that I'll find more time for photography soon.
