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.
This is the mechanism in an antique clock being repaired at The Clock Doctor on north 71st Pl in Scottsdale. I took in an antique music box to be repaired.
AI Overview
This is a close-up photograph of a 19th-century French Morbier or Comtoise clock movement, featuring intricate brass gears and a dark iron frame. [1, 2]
Mechanism Details: These movements typically feature a "going train" that powers the hands and a striking mechanism, often regulated by heavy weights.
Materials and Age: The gears are made of brass, a common material for 19th-century clockwork, housed in a durable iron or steel frame.
Maintenance: Such antique mechanisms require specialized cleaning and lubrication with oil to remain functional.
Haiku feeling:
Brass wheels interlock,
Golden gears spin out the hours,
Time captured in stride.
Gemini AI
The mood of this close-up of the antique clock mechanism is industrially elegant, nostalgic, and meticulous.
Here is a breakdown of what creates that specific atmosphere:
Timeless Nostalgia: The aged patina of the brass gears and the dark, heavy iron frame evoke a strong sense of history. It feels like stepping into a quiet, 19th-century workshop, carrying a mood of reverence for old-world craftsmanship.
Hypnotic Order: Because the frame is packed with interlocking teeth, wheels, and levers, the visual mood is incredibly precise, disciplined, and mechanical. It feels like capturing a single, silent heartbeat of time itself.
Warm Mechanical Contrast: The warm, golden tones of the brass clashing against the colder, dark iron structure create a quiet dramatic tension—making the intricate "heart" of the clock feel alive yet frozen in stride.

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…

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 !

The bumble bee is on common milkweed. My ID would have been a simple "bumble bee." But AI was almost 100% certain of the more precise identification.
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.
Of all the means of expression, photography is the only one that fixes a precise moment in time -
Henri Cartier-Bresson
A male Spruce Grouse or to be more precise, I believe it is a Franklin's Grouse. Spruce Grouse differ in behavior from the more wide ranging Ruffed Grouse. A Ruffie will flush when startled whereas a Spruce Grouse will just stand his/her ground, trusting their camouflage.
This behavior has earned them the nickname 'fools hen'. However, I don't think that is fair, since the species has obviously thrived, while depending on its camouflage to elude predators. They just didn't evolve with humans and shotguns as natural predators.
This is the first time I have seen one so close up and I managed to get within a meter before it finally flew off! Foolish? More like fearless and unflinching.

This is my latest discovery in our garden : I had seen a number of them among the flowers in the past but they are terribly fast, stop only a fraction of a second and I could never get a clear capture of one.
Yesterday and today, they slowed down a bit and a managed a few shots.
The common name Teddy Bear Bee is real, the scientific name being Amegilla bombiformis.
Amegilla bombiformis, commonly known as the Teddy Bear bee or Golden Haired Mortar Bee, is an Australian native bee in the family Apidae.
Amegilla bombiformis is a stocky bee which resembles a bumblebee in shape, and is covered in orange-brown fur. The abdomen has several dark hairless bands, seven in the case of males, six for females. It is similar in size to a European honeybee, Wikipedia

Es war wirklich so, als folgten sie einer genauen Choreographie : sie ließen sich im Pulk auf die Brücke zutreiben, flogen alle auf einmal auf, im Schwarm flussaufwärts, um sich dort auf dem Wasser niederzulassen und sich von dort aus wieder auf die Brücke zutreiben zu lassen.
It really was as if they were following a precise choreography: they drifted towards the bridge in a group, then flew upstream in a swarm to settle on the water and then drifted back towards the bridge.

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).

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.

A geodesic vertex or point is a sign posted that indicates a precise geographic position forming a network with other geodetic triangulation vertex.
The exact position of the vertex used to help develop scale topographic maps, both national and regional.
Spain has about 11000 vertex that are usually made by a pillar 120 centimeters tall and 30 in diameter supported by a cubic concrete base, all painted white. They are usually in high places and cleared from which you can overlook other similar points, which is why they are often in places that pose good views. Since 1975 are protected by the Law on Geodetic and Geophysical Signals.
Most of those in the coast have finished swallowed by the sea.

MID check:
The system checks the scanned number plate against the Motor Insurance Database (MID) to see if the vehicle is insured.
Roadside action:
If a vehicle appears uninsured, officers can stop the driver and seize the vehicle at the roadside.
Consequences for uninsured drivers:
Vehicle seizure: The vehicle can be impounded by police.
Fixed penalty notice: A £300 fine may be issued.
Points on license: Six points can be added to the driver's licence.
Court appearance: Drivers may face a court appearance.
Unlimited fine: A court can impose an unlimited fine.
Driving ban: A ban from driving can be imposed.

L’île Louët se trouve au nord-est de la commune de Carantec. Elle se trouve en baie de Morlaix, à la sortie de la rade de Morlaix et plus précisément entre la pointe de Penn-al-Lann et le château du Taureau.
Le château du Taureau
À la suite d'une attaque de Morlaix par la flotte anglaise en 1522, il est décidé de construire un fort en baie de Morlaix. Toutefois, pour construire ce type de bâtiment sur la côte, il faut une autorisation du roi accordée par François Ier sur intervention du duc d'Étampes en 1542. Mais aucun financement royal n'est prévu. Le fort doit être construit sur les deniers des Morlaisiens qui seront remboursés plus tard, lorsque les finances du royaume le permettront. À titre de compensation, le Roi leur octroie le privilège de nommer le gouverneur du fort ainsi que sa garnison tout en assurant son équipement et son traitement. Ce privilège se révèle fort couteux, ainsi, en 1620, le budget alloué à la gestion du fort est de 18 000 livres.
En 1660, le Roi Louis XIV reprend le fort aux Morlaisiens et l'intègre dans le système de défense du royaume.
Vauban, ingénieur-architecte visita le château en avril 1689 et le trouva en fort mauvais état. Dans un rapport daté du 6 avril 1689, Vauban fait une description du fort primitif avant de donner son projet pour la reconstruction ; c'est ce projet général et ces idées qui seront utilisés jusqu'à l'achèvement du château en 1745. « Faire tout de pierre de taille. Choisir ces pierres des meilleures de l'Isle Calot qui tiennent bien leur arête, les tailler très proprement sur les faces» ordonne Vauban en 1689. La tour Française, même si elle est en bon état au niveau de sa maçonnerie, fait l'objet des bons soins de l'ingénieur. La tour d'artillerie devant assurer la défense du fort pendant sa reconstruction. Vauban propose de changer les deux planchers et leurs corbeaux de pierres de taille pour les ancrer dans le vieux mur, de réparer toutes les embrasures de la tour et de les doter de sabords.
Du reste de l'édifice, il veut construire un nouveau fort de « bonne et solide maçonnerie à chaux et sable ». Son profil « doit être fort et robuste, tant à raison des coups de mer dont il sera terriblement battu que de la grande hauteur qu'il est nécessaire de lui donner tant pour le rendre inaccessible aux entreprises de basse mer, que pour lui donner fleuron supérieur à celle de tous les vaisseaux qui passeront près ». La tour Française dominera l'ensemble du nouveau fort. Les quatre casemates à canons de l'ancien fort seront « déménagées », une nouvelle batterie basse voûtée de « pierres ardoisines » remplacera l'ancienne. Les basses embrasures sont destinées, selon les propres termes de Vauban, « contre le dehors à tenir du mousquet ».
Les travaux du nouveau fort du Taureau approuvés par Vauban commencent au printemps 1689.
Ce sont les ingénieurs Siméon Garangeau et Frézier qui mènent la reconstruction à son terme.
Garangeau meurt en 1741 à l'âge de quatre-vingt-quatorze ans, avant d'avoir pu terminer le château du Taureau. La dernière phase des travaux commence en 1741 et s'achève en 1745. La réalisation des plans d'achèvement du fort est donc confiée à Amédée François Frézier, ingénieur architecte du Roi qui collabore déjà, depuis 1717, au chantier. Le château fut totalement achevé en 1745.

Louët island
Louët island lies northeast of the town of Carantec. It is located in the bay of Morlaix, at the exit of the bay of Morlaix and more precisely between the tip of Penn-al-Lann and castle of Taurus.
Le château du Taureau
Following a Morlaix attack by the English fleet in 1522, it was decided to build a fort in the bay of Morlaix. However, to build such buildings on the coast, you need a license granted by King François Ier. Licence was granted in 1542 after an intervention of the Duke of Etampes. But no royal funding is provided. The fort was to be built on the money of Morlaisiens that will be repaid later when the kingdom's finances allow. As compensation, the King granted them the privilege of naming the governor of the fort and its garrison while ensuring its equipment and its treatment. This privilege is proving very expensive and, in 1620, the budget allocated to the management of the fort was 18 000 pounds.
In 1660, King Louis XIV takes back the fort from the Morlaisiens and integrates it into the realm of defense.
Vauban, architect-engineer visited the castle in April 1689 and found him in very bad condition. In a report dated 6 April 1689, Vauban give a description of the original fort before giving his project for reconstruction; this is the general project and ideas that will be used until the completion of the castle in 1745. "Doing all of stone. Choose the best stones on Isle Calot, hold their edge well, cut very neatly on the faces "ordered Vauban in 1689. The artillery tower was to defend the fort during its reconstruction. Vauban proposed to change the two floors and cut stone corbels to anchor in the old wall, repair all the embrasures of the tower and equip them with ports.
On the other part of the building, he wants to build a new fort of "good, solid masonry lime and sand." Profile "to be strong and robust, both because of the heavy seas which will be terribly beaten as the great height it is necessary to give so much to make it inaccessible to low water businesses, and give her flagship greater than that of all the vessels that pass by. " The French round will dominate the entire new fort. The four casemates of the old fort guns will be "relocated", a new vaulted low battery "ardoisines stones" will replace the old. The low doorways are intended, in the words of Vauban, "against the outside to hold the musket."
Work on the new high Taurus approved by Vauban beginning in spring 1689.
These are Simeon Garangeau Frézier and engineers who lead the reconstruction to an end.
Garangeau died in 1741 at the age of eighty-four, before he could finish the castle of Taurus. The last phase of work begins in 1741 and ends in 1745. The realization of the completion of the fort plans is entrusted to François Amédée Frézier King's architect engineer who is already working since 1717 on site. The castle was fully completed in 1745.
Translated from:
I'd say that the majority of my brain is logical and lucid, however, there is a small part which is a law unto itself and prone to random meanderings. This is one such occasion. If you have a budgie cage to clean, now would be an opportune moment.
Picture this.
Shirley is making her way through the grimy, soot-stained backstreets of Castleford, to her job as a switchboard operator, blissfully oblivious to the pungent smoke from the coal fires from the terraces. (Coal fires? You were lucky...no we’re not going there). Her mood is buoyant as she envisages the dancing on Friday night at the Skyline Ballroom and the prospect of bumping into that lovely young man she met last week. The mood is short lived and soon dampened, or rather drenched.
Along comes Albert, driving the Morris J-Type Hovis delivery van. He’s having a bad day, he snaps his flat cap lower over his brow with intense irritation.... He's sick to the back teeth of the miners, well he would be if he had teeth; he lost those before he was 23. They lean on the street corners, night shift over, arrogantly smoking their Woodbines with a nonchalant demeanor, mocking him, humming Dvorak’s New World Symphony as he delivers the morning bread. He’s in the mood for retribution. A deep puddle ahead, a girl on the pavement, he puts his foot down and accelerates to full speed, at least 27 mph. Poor Shirley is drenched, her joyful thoughts extinguished like the Woodbines beneath the hobnail boots.
She arrives at work, throws her coat down, and positions herself in front of the vast array of jacks and plugs. Anger reigns; she is in no mood for making these connections; many calls come through but never reach their intended destination. Instead, a random array of synapses which make absolutely no sense at all. Such is that dark corner of my brain.
So, it appears I have gone down a rabbit hole. What I was intending to say was this:
Have you ever boiled a pan of water and wondered where all the tiny bubbles come from at the bottom of the pan? I had this precise thought the other day. My science background should have been able to tell me why, but no, I thought, maybe the pans are just waiting to exhale and expel that breath they have been holding onto whilst sitting in the pan drawer. Unbeknown to us, they jostle for prime position in the hope that they will be the one selected.....such is a day in the life of a pan. Words that have probably never been written in that order before.
So, you probably know, and after refreshing my brain, I could explain the physics if you don’t, but that would make this post vaguely informative.
Until next time......

Le vague à l’âme est un sentiment diffus de mélancolie, de tristesse douce ou d’insatisfaction, souvent sans cause précise …
On ressent une sorte de vide intérieur, un flottement émotionnel mêlé de nostalgie ou d’incertitude.
C’est une sensation subtile, comme un soupir de l’âme !
°°°°°°°°°°°°
The expression “vague à l’âme” refers to a diffuse feeling of melancholy, gentle sadness, or dissatisfaction, often without a clear cause …
It’s like experiencing an inner emptiness, an emotional drifting mixed with nostalgia or uncertainty.
It’s a subtle sensation, akin to a sigh of the soul !

There is no precise geographical definition for ‘Cornwall’s Forgotten Corner’, but it is taken to mean, by local residents, all of the Rame Peninsula, as well as all of the English Channel coast area to the east of (but not including) Looe. The northern boundary of the corner is defined by the A38 road.
It is reputed to be "forgotten" because the area is effectively by-passed by Cornwall visitors, and is geographically remote from the administrative headquarters of Cornwall at Truro. It is over 50 miles away from the Cornish capital.
It is isolated due to its geography, as it is bounded by the English Channel, Plymouth Sound, the River Tamar and the River Lynher. Visitors have to double back on themselves after taking the main A38 road from Plymouth at Trerulefoot and onto the A374. There are no main railway stations within the area; the nearest is at St Germans, which has a limited train service. However, there is a frequent vehicular ferry to Torpoint from Plymouth, and a passenger ferry to Cremyll from Stonehouse, Plymouth. There is also a passenger ferry from Plymouth to Cawsand in the summer.
The area effectively became more remote when the then new Saltash Road Bridge on the A38 road was opened in 1961. Before the opening of this bridge, and the improvements to the A30 road from Exeter to Penzance, most road traffic entered Cornwall using the Torpoint Ferry, taking visitors directly into this area. After the bridge opened, and continued dual carriageway improvements were made on the A30 road, traffic travelling through this part of Cornwall reduced greatly.
The Rame Peninsula part of the Forgotten Corner is included in the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is also steeped in history, with many military forts, and archaeological points of interest. The area is essentially rural, with the main industry being agriculture. It is also a residential commuting area for Plymouth. The area also has some of the wealthiest areas within Cornwall, as well as some of the poorest.

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
Thank you for your visits, compliments and stars..!
Merci à vous pour vos visites, compliments et étoiles..
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.

Un projet ambitieux, confié aux bons soins de SozyOne, artiste qu'on ne doit plus présenter, il a notamment réalisé "L'Homme de la Meuse" à Liège. Mais ici, on parle de 1.637 m2 précisément, soit la plus grande fresque de Wallonie, rien que ça. Le bâtiment en lui-même, une partie de l'usine spadoise, fait précisément 144,80 m de long pour une hauteur de fresque de 20,50 m. Il a fallu compter avec les parties vitrées pour "découper" le (futur) Pierrot. "Pour faire ressortir une oeuvre il faut une couleur forte sur un fond clair, c'est pourquoi je garde le rouge d'origine de Jean D'Ylen, créateur du Pierrot en 1923, c'est un aspect très début 20ème siècle que j'apprécie", nous glisse Pablo Sozyone Gonzalez, à pied d'oeuvre depuis quelques semaines déjà, accompagné de plusieurs autres artistes qui se mettent au service de cette oeuvre monumentale qui marquera les esprits, et les yeux, d'ici le mois de décembre.
Nous avons lancé l'appel avec trois thèmes qui tiennent à coeur Spa Monopole, l'eau, l'environnement et le patrimoine spadois. Ici, Sozyone nous a séduit avec son idée de Pierrot qui s'étend sur toute la longueur, qui tend le bras", souligne Mathieu Van Overstraeten, responsable communication pour Spadel. En plus, comme il fallait nettoyer cette façade côté gare de Spa, autant la rhabiller complètement avec une oeuvre exceptionnelle au vu des premiers coups de pinceaux.
An ambitious project, entrusted to the capable hands of SozyOne, an artist who needs no introduction; he notably created "L'Homme de la Meuse" in Liège. But here, we're talking about a precise 1,637 m², making it the largest mural in Wallonia, no less. The building itself, part of the Spa factory, is exactly 144.80 m long, with a mural height of 20.50 m. The glass sections had to be taken into account when "cutting out" the (future) Pierrot. “To make a work stand out, you need a strong color against a light background, which is why I’m keeping the original red used by Jean D’Ylen, creator of Pierrot in 1923. It’s a very early 20th-century look that I appreciate,” explains Pablo Sozyone Gonzalez, who has been working on the project for several weeks now, along with several other artists contributing to this monumental artwork that will leave a lasting impression by December. “We launched the call for proposals with three themes that are close to Spa Monopole’s heart: water, the environment, and Spa’s heritage. Here, Sozyone captivated us with his idea of Pierrot stretching the entire length of the building, reaching out with his arm,” emphasizes Mathieu Van Overstraeten, Head of Communications for Spadel. Furthermore, since this façade facing the Spa train station needed cleaning, it made sense to completely transform it with an exceptional artwork, judging by the first brushstrokes.

THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK
Het beschilderen van het porselein is een secuur werk dat in één keer goed moet zijn ,
bij het kleinste foutje wordt het afgekeurd dat is dan voor eigen rekening,
met andere woorden als je drie borden op een dag goed doet krijg je daar naar uitbetaald ,
is er niet één product gelukt krijg je voor die dag ook geen geld ,
je maandloon hangt af van het afgeleverde werk wat je doet
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Painting the porcelain is a precise work that must be done right in one go,
at the slightest mistake it is rejected that is then for own account,
in other words if you do three plates well in one day you will be paid out,
if not one product is successful, you will not get any money for that day either
your monthly wage depends on the work you do
