Perché au sommet sur un rocher de basalte noir (Castle Rock) à l’emplacement même d’un ancien volcan, le château d’Édimbourg veille sur la ville depuis le moyen âge. De nos jours, le château abrite toujours une garnison. Chaque jour, à treize heures précises, un coup de canon est tiré depuis les remparts dominant l'Esplanade où se déroule tous les ans en août le célèbre « Military Tattoo », le public assistant au spectacle dans les tribunes provisoires.
Perched atop a black basalt rock (Castle Rock) on the very site of an ancient volcano, Edinburgh Castle has watched over the city since the Middle Ages. Today, the castle still houses a garrison. Every day, at 1 p.m. sharp, a cannon shot is fired from the ramparts overlooking the Esplanade where the famous “Military Tattoo” takes place every year in August, with the public attending the show in the temporary stands.
The precise height in metres is Very, Very Tall. You can go to a viewing gallery on the 146th floor - your ears pop in the high speed elevator on the way up. The view is grand, but there were lots of reflections on the not-very-clean glass. Also, the one major attraction in Dubai that can’t be seen from the top of the Burj Khalifa is the Burj Khalifa. So here’s a picture of the Burj Khalifa from the bottom, complete with a sub-Bellagio fountain show.

Menhirs de Carnac, Bretanya. França.
"¡Al romano! ¡mata al romano!
Tal fue el fin de la guerra de Bretaña, de aquel heroico esfuerzo terminado con la batalla de Vannes. Eso nos castigó por nuestras discordias, y no escuchó las súplicas que le dirigieron los druidas desde las piedras de Karnak, ni recibió propicio la sangre vertida por mi hermana Hena. Pero aun existía el gefe de los cien valles y no era completo el triunfo de Roma..” Eugène Sue “LOS HIJOS DEL PUEBLO”, Barcelona, Oliveres, Editor, 1858. página 171 ###########
Carnac (Breton: Karnag) is a commune beside the Gulf of Morbihan on the south coast of Brittany in the Morbihan department in north-western France.Carnac is famous as the site of more than 3,000 prehistoric standing stones. The stones were hewn from local rock and erected by the pre-Celtic people of Brittany. Local tradition claims that the reason they stand in such perfectly straight lines is that they are a Roman legion turned to stone by Merlin (Brittany has its own local versions of the Arthurian cycle).
The Carnac stones were erected during the Neolithic period which lasted from around 4500 BC until 2000 BC. The precise date of the stones is difficult to ascertain as little dateable material has been found beneath them, but the site's main phase of activity is commonly attributed to c. 3300 BC. One interpretation of the site is that successive generations visited the site to erect a stone in honour of their ancestors.

Wyoming, USA - In a bizarre turn of events, residents of the picturesque state have reported multiple sightings of peculiar flying objects resembling ice cream cones soaring through the sky. Speculation and excitement have reached unprecedented levels as the enigmatic phenomena continue to captivate the imagination of the community.
Reports describe the objects as large, sometimes dripping cones, adorned with vibrant colors and trailing delicious-looking swirls of ice cream. Witnesses claim the cones maneuvered gracefully, exhibiting precise movements that defied the known laws of aerodynamics.
Government agencies have also been drawn into the frenzy, with local law enforcement working alongside federal agencies to investigate the reports. Official statements from the authorities emphasize that the sightings are being taken seriously, and all efforts are being made to determine the origin and nature of the flying ice cream cones.
Conspiracy theorists, as expected, have put forth a range of intriguing explanations. Some claim that the cones are a secret government project, while others suggest a playful extraterrestrial or extradimensional presence.
While skeptics argue that the sightings are nothing more than an elaborate prank or an optical illusion, the fervor surrounding the flying ice cream cones shows no signs of abating. Wyoming's skies have become a stage for the unexpected, leaving residents and visitors eagerly awaiting the next sighting and wondering what secrets these frozen delights might hold.

Forgive me, dear Flickrite, for not being more precise than 'Camellia' for this backyard flower of ours. There are some 26000 cultivars of the plant and perhaps 50000 differing names. I'm totally unsure about this one's exact moniker. 'Camellia', though, is the name that great Carolus Linnaeus used for the family. It stands for Georg Joseph Kamel (1661-1706). As a lay Jesuit brother he went to the Philippines in 1688 and established a highly-reputed pharmacy in Manila from where he remained in close contact with European naturalists. He entered the order with his final vows in 1696. Kamel was more of a collector than an astute botanist. Linnaeus didn't think highly of his descriptions preferring those of Asian plants by another Georg: the famous, blind botanist of Ambon, Georg Eberhard Rumphius (1627-1702).
No lie, by 3.9 degrees to be precise...
Known as the Campanile, or free-standing bell tower, The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of 4 important structures in the Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles). Formally known as Piazza del Duomo, the square is a walled area located in Tuscany, Italy. Pre-dating the tower is the Pisa Cathedral (left background) with its associated Baptistry. The 4th building is the Camposanto Monumentale (Monumental Cemetery). The entire square is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The tower is 57 meters (183 feet) from the ground on the low side. The famous tilting began right off the bat during its construction in the 12th century, and was due to an inadequate foundation on ground too soft on one side to properly support the weight. The tilt increased in the decades before the structure was completed in the 14th century.
Prior to restoration work performed between 1990 and 2001, the tower leaned at an angle of 5.5 degrees but after correction it now leans at about 4 degrees. This means the top of the tower is displaced horizontally 4 meters (12 ft 10 in) from the center, and you really feel that tilt under your feet.
Climbing the tower is well worth the effort, but the view is a bit vertigo-inducing if you are uncomfortable with heights. It has 296 or 294 steps; the seventh floor has two fewer steps on the north-facing staircase as it is closer to the actual ground level by approximately 2 feet.
An interesting bit of history is that Galileo Galilei is said to have dropped two cannonballs of different masses from the tower to demonstrate that their speed of descent was independent of their mass.
If you are fortunate enough to ever visit Pisa, make sure you reserve the time to explore the entire lovely Piazza del Duomo, and not just its famous tower of dubious foundation…

En Bourgogne, un Climat désigne une parcelle de vignes, progressivement et précisément délimitée par l'homme, et qui est reconnue par son nom depuis des siècles, souvent depuis le Moyen-Âge. Chaque Climat possède des caractéristiques géologiques, hydrométriques et d'exposition particulières. La production de chaque Climat est vinifiée séparément, à partir d'un seul cépage, et le vin ainsi produit prend le nom du Climat dont il est issu. La personnalité du Climat s'exprime dans le vin, millésime après millésime, grâce au savoir-faire du vigneron. Nulle part ailleurs dans le monde, l'homme n'a cherché à lier d'une manière aussi précise et intime, une production viticole à son lieu de production.
En 2015, les derniers services hospitaliers quittent le site de l'hôpital général pour celui du Bocage rénové. L'ancien hôpital est destiné après rénovation à devenir la Cité internationale de la Gastronomie et du vin. La chapelle est désacralisée le 20 mars 2015 au cours d'une messe d'exécration célébrée par l'archevêque de Dijon, Mgr Roland Minnerath. Dans un communiqué en date du 8 juillet 2014, il s'était ému dans un communiqué de "la perspective de banaliser sans concertation ce lieu en local commercial" (la chapelle devait initialement devenir une vinothèque dans la prochaine Cité de la gastronomie). Elle devient finalement un espace d'exposition accessible dans le parcours de visite de la Cité de la Gastronomie, sous le nom "Chapelle des Climats".
In Burgundy, a Climat refers to a plot of vines, gradually and precisely delimited by man, and which has been recognized by its name for centuries, often since the Middle Ages. Each Climat has particular geological, hydrometric and exposure characteristics. The production of each Climat is vinified separately, from a single grape variety, and the wine thus produced takes the name of the Climat from which it comes. The personality of the Climat is expressed in the wine, vintage after vintage, thanks to the know-how of the winemaker. Nowhere else in the world has man sought to link in such a precise and intimate way, a wine production to its place of production. In 2015, the last hospital services left the site of the general hospital for the renovated Bocage. The old hospital is destined after renovation to become the International City of Gastronomy and Wine. The chapel was deconsecrated on March 20, 2015 during a mass of execration celebrated by the Archbishop of Dijon, Mgr Roland Minnerath. In a press release dated July 8, 2014, he expressed his concern about "the prospect of trivializing this place into commercial premises without consultation" (the chapel was initially to become a wine store in the next Cité de la Gastronomie). It finally became an exhibition space accessible in the tour route of the Cité de la Gastronomie, under the name "Chapelle des Climats".

Of all the means of expression, photography is the only one that fixes a precise moment in time -
Henri Cartier-Bresson
Every time I encounter an uncommon bird, I wonder why it was there, in that place and at that precise moment, when it could be anywhere else in this vast world and my own movements and coverage are very limited. The answer may seem simple, for example, it nests in the area, there is the food it consumes, but the way this happens is much less obvious and sometimes very sudden.
I remember that recently, in a forest on the border between Uganda and the DR Congo, after a superb day of observation which had allowed us to find some rare and sought-after birds, the excellent national park ranger who had accompanied us remarked that some of the species seen that day had not been seen for a month in that precise location, in the complete absence of rain during that period. It turned out that the rain had fallen only the day before our visit, and that the birds had returned.
This time in the forest northwest of Quito, part of the Andean Choco, it was this little parrot that appeared to us right at the edge of the trail, even though the species is only irregularly observed in this fairly frequented reserve. The reason for its presence at that moment was actually due to the sudden and brief appearance of a certain fruit that it favors and came to consume (and the traces of which can be seen on its beak), precisely in response to the onset of the rainy season in the region. Since the fruiting lasts only two or three days at most, the chances of the bird showing up at the same time as me at the edge of this trail were quite low, and I find that fascinating.
Overall, birds react very quickly to changes in their environment, as also evidenced by the ability of some shorebirds to move to water points to nest only a few days after they appear in the arid inland areas of Australia, following heavy rains and while they had been far away some time before.
Thus, for me, the people capable of observing the most birds are those who manage to interpret the current conditions and be there at the right moment, which is also true for photography, and I have a lot of admiration for those people !

Mount Everest, also known in Nepal as Sagarmāthā and in Tibet as ཇོ་མོ་གླང་མ Jomo Langma, is Earth's highest mountain. It is located in the Mahalangur mountain range in Nepal. Its peak is 8,848 metres (29,029 ft) above sea level. It is not the furthest summit from the centre of the Earth. That honour goes to Mount Chimborazo, in the Andes. The international border between China and Nepal runs across Everest's precise summit point. Its massif includes neighbouring peaks Lhotse, 8,516 m (27,940 ft); Nuptse, 7,855 m (25,771 ft) and Changtse, 7,580 m (24,870 ft).

The title encapsulates a precise and severe biological reality where two distinct physical dysfunctions amplify one another, subject to a constant state of bodily attrition.From a scientific standpoint, having the body perpetually wet due to hyperhidrosis forces the skin into a continuous process of forced evaporative cooling. Evaporation is the body’s most efficient mechanism for heat dissipation; for every liter of sweat that evaporates, the organism loses approximately 580 kilocalories. In a healthy individual, this mechanism serves to cool down the body during physical exertion; however, in chronic hyperhidrosis, this process never shuts off, causing a continuous and uncontrolled drop in superficial core temperature, regardless of ambient conditions.To compensate for this massive, unyielding heat loss and to stabilize internal temperature (homeostasis), the organism is driven into an immense metabolic overload. Under normal circumstances, the lungs actively assist in thermoregulation through respiration. Yet, in the presence of a severely compromised respiratory system or post-pneumothorax sequelae, air reserves and gaseous exchange efficiency are drastically diminished. The pulmonary system lacks the baseline strength to sustain this unrelenting energetic demand, while the constant cooling induced by the wet skin forces the airways to constrict, exacerbating physical fatigue, tightness, and organic wear. Consequently, the water armor ceases to be a mere visual metaphor and turns into a real clinical stressor, crushing the body’s innate ability to defend its own breath.

Probably, many of you know what curling is. In a few words, curling is a game where two teams, composed by 4 players each, throw circular stones on an ice surface, aiming at a target. This sport was born in Scotland, and it is very famous in a lot of countries (such as Canada, USA, Northern Europe, China, Japan and others). The portrayed rink is the home of Associazione Curling Cembra, which is at present Champion of Italy and (automatically, as common usage in curling) the Italian National Team. One of the most important figures in curling is the Iceman, or Icemaster, the person who takes care of the rink. To prepare a curling surface is a very difficult task, between science and craftsmanship, for an iceman must be concerned about a lot of factors: temperature, humidity, ice layer's roughness and thickness, etcetera. A professional curling rink must have very precise features, without which a tournament can be a failure: hence, in a curling club the iceman is a very important member. The portrayed one is Mr Adolfo Mosaner, iceman of the Cembra curling team.

Les Dioscures, ce sont les jumeaux Castor et Pollux. Tous deux étaient enfants jumeaux de Léda, ou plus précisément faux-jumeaux. En effet, Castor était le fils de Tindare et frère de Clytemnestre. Pollux était le fils de Zeus et frère d’ Hélène. Oui, c’est un peu compliqué, Castor et Pollux étaient donc de faux-jumeaux, nés de pères différents.
Retenez surtout que les grecs autant que les romains vénéraient les Dioscures. Ils symbolisaient l’aide apportée par les jeunes gens en âge de porter les armes. Et comme ils avaient souvent aidé les romains dans leurs combats, ils étaient particulièrement vénérés des romains. À l'ouest de l'Olympiéion s'étend jusqu'à la Porte V un quartier de la ville, avec des vestiges de maisons d'habitation. Du nord de ce temple part une voie processionnelle qui longe les habitations pour rejoindre la Porte V et le « temple des Dioscures ». Ce nom lui a été attribué arbitrairement : des sources antiques nous disent, certes, que Castor et Pollux étaient honorés à Acragas, mais les dernières recherches tendent plutôt à rattacher les jumeaux à celui qu'on appelle traditionnellement « temple de la Concorde ».
Le « temple des Dioscures » est un temple dorique périptère du milieu du Ve siècle av. J.-C., de plan semblable à celui « de la Concorde ». Le coin sud-est a été remonté au en 1836 par le sculpteur Valerio Villa Reale et l'architecte Saverio Cavallari. Le couronnement pourrait provenir du temple L. Cette reconstruction est certes très pittoresque, et elle est même devenue un symbole et l'un des sujets les plus photographiés des vestiges d'Agrigente, mais elle est refusée du monde professionnel, qui y voit un mélange d'éléments de différents styles et de différentes époques. De nombreux restes de tambours des colonnes cannelées qui formaient autrefois le péristyle sont disséminés sur toute la surface du temple. On peut aussi distinguer des restes de l'autel, du côté est.
The Dioscuri are the twins Castor and Pollux. Both were Léda's twin children, or more precisely false twins. Indeed, Castor was the son of Tindare and brother of Clytemnestre. Pollux was the son of Zeus and brother of Helen. Yes, it's a bit complicated, so Castor and Pollux were twins, born to different fathers.
Above all, remember that the Greeks as much as the Romans revered the Dioscuri. They symbolized the help given by young people of military age. And as they had often helped the Romans in their battles, they were particularly revered by the Romans. West of the Olympieion, up to Porte V, is a district of the city, with the remains of residential houses. From the north of this temple leaves a processional path that runs along the dwellings to reach Porte V and the "temple of Dioscuri". This name was arbitrarily assigned to it: ancient sources tell us, of course, that Castor and Pollux were honored at Acragas, but the latest research tends rather to link the twins to the one traditionally called "temple of Concord".
The "temple of Dioscuri" is a Doric temple periphers from the middle of the 5th century BC. J. - C., of plan similar to that of "Concorde". The southeast corner was reassembled in 1836 by sculptor Valerio Villa Reale and architect Saverio Cavallari. The crowning could come from temple L. This reconstruction is certainly very picturesque, and it has even become a symbol and one of the most photographed subjects in the remains of Agrigento, but it is refused from the professional world, which sees it as a mixture elements of different styles and different eras. Many remains of drums from the fluted columns that once formed the peristyle are scattered over the entire surface of the temple. We can also make out the remains of the altar on the east side.

That is what photography is doing according to Henri Cartier-Bresson, fixing a precise moment in time. Of course, he said other things as well about photography, but let us take this quote. Reflecting upon this, and using the image above, one question pops up immediately: whose time are we talking about? Camera and sculpture are inanimate objects. Do the notions of 'life' and 'moment' apply? If they do, then it would matter that the camera is now 16 years old (the lens is almost 70 years) and the replica face of the Olympian Hermes would reflect about 2500 years. However, I cannot see that the quote makes sense in relation to these two objects. It would not matter to them whether the photo was taken yesterday, today, or a year ago. But it does make a lot of sense when I apply it to myself. This image fixes a moment in my time when dealing with these two objects. A moment in the life of the photographer when thinking, for example, about photography as an act of hunting, of getting my prey inside the box. Fuji X-E3, a 2x teleconverter and Helios 44M-7 at F8.
Taken back in the spring of 2007, here's "Houdini" looking at me suspiciously, probably wondering what I'm holding in front of my face. Houdini was born the previous summer, about 9 months before this was taken. Although he looks albino, he's actually leucistic... a condition similar in appearance but with some pigmentation present... usually in the eyes. Albino creatures have a total lack of melanin resulting in very light pinkish eyes. Houdini, like a number of leucistic deer in the herd had normal eyes, fully pigmented.
Here's a photo of Houdini taken 6 years later:

Sadly, Houdini and three other bucks were taken by a poacher over a four week period in early 2014. He was apprehended and justice was served, just not as much as he deserved.
This photo was taken with my second digital camera, a Kodak DX6490 point & shoot that had a great zoom lens and was small enough to carry in a jacket pocket. It didn't have image stabilization but was super easy to use and many of the best deer pictures I took were with this camera. The zoom lens wasn't used so much to get closer, but more to allow precise framing.

Salford Quays to be precise. Having a root around for some old images and decided to have a play at processing a few using software that I didn't have at the time. Turned out not bad even if I do say so myself :D
Il a un immense pouvoir de passer inaperçu,
arrive en vol piqué sans aucun bruit,
se pose sur une branche bien précise,
afin de se fondre dans l'environnement choisi.
Derrière la fenêtre, je l'ai vu arrivé par hasard, j'ai ainsi vu où il s'était posé,
heureusement j'avais l' appareil photo pas loin, discrètement derrière le rideau,
j'ai cherché à le voir, j'ai mis bien 10 secondes à le trouver (il a légèrement bougé dans ce fouillis de branches et m'avait surement déjà vu) après un rapide réglage, me suis décalé afin de l'apercevoir, le focus a eu du mal lui aussi à faire une mise au point relative, (trop de teintes similaires l'entouraient), un 1° clique, un 2°, n'ai pas eu le temps d'en faire un 3° qu'il s'envolait, m'ayant déjà repéré dés que je me suis décalé...!
cette oiseau une vue perçante incroyable..
cela fait que la 2° fois que je vois cet oiseau sur mon terrain
mais qu'il est beau et majestueux

He has immense power to go unnoticed,
arrives in dive flight without any noise,
arises on a specific branch,
in order to blend into the chosen environment.
Behind the window, I saw him arrive by chance, so I saw where he had landed,
Fortunately I had the camera not far away, discreetly behind the curtain,
I tried to see it, I took 10 seconds to find it (it moved slightly in this jumble of branches and had probably already seen me) after a quick adjustment, shifted to see it, the focus also had trouble making a relative focus, (too many similar shades surrounded it), A 1° click, a 2°, did not have time to make a 3° that it flew away, having already spotted me as soon as I shifted ...!
This bird an incredible piercing view.
This makes that the 2nd time I see this bird on my land
but that it is beautiful and majestic,
It's
the European sparrowhawk,
(Accipiter nisus - Eurasian Sparrowhawk)...
Height: 38 cm and +
Wingspan: 60 to 75 cm.
Weight: 185 to 350 g
Longevity: 16 years
