Cette nuit du 8 au 9 aout était propice à une photo de la Voie Lactée (pas de lune, pas de nuages, peu d'humidité). J'ai profité de mes vacances dans le sud, dans mon pays de naissance, pour photographier notre galaxie au dessus de la mer, précisément depuis la pointe de la Cride, en pointant en direction des îles des Embiez et du Rouveau.
J'ai eu besoin de peu de photos pour réaliser cette photo : 12 photos de 90s en plan fixe (pour résoudre correctement le premier plan (rochers, mer, îles) et 12 photos de 90s avec suivi sidéral pour résoudre la Voie Lactée et les étoiles. J'ai travaillé avec un Canon 1200D partiellement défiltré, un objectif de 24 mm ouvert à f\2, 1600 iso, le suivi sidéral étant assuré par une Star Adventurer 2i. J'ai fait 12 darks, pas de flats. Le traitement a été fait sous Siril. Le post traitement sous Gimp.
Sur la photo, au tout premier plan, on voir 2 des rochers sous la falaise de la Cride. Au loin, l'île de droite, c'est le Rouveau surplombé de son phare ; à gauche c'est une partie des Embiez dont on distingue la tour génoise. La lumière à droite du Rouveau, c'est la cardinale ouest des Magnons (un petit archipel d'îlots à peine visibles de la côte). Concernant la voie lactée, la partie que l'on observe sur la photo c'est le bulbe galactique. La Galaxie se présente ici verticalement. Elle est découpée par des nébuleuses sombres qui sont en fait des nuages de poussière occultant la lumière. Tout en haut, on distingue très bien une tâche rouge. Il s'agit de la nébuleuse du lagon. Immédiatement à sa droite au dessus on distingue une autre nébuleuse plus petite, la nébuleuse trifide. En bas à gauche de voie lactée, on voit aussi nettement un regroupement d'étoiles très dense et lumineux ; il s'agit de l'amas ouvert, Messier 7. à sa droite, au dessus, il y a un autre amas ouvert, Messier 6.
La zone grise entre le ciel et la mer, c'est une légère brume maritime.

Milky Way Above the Bay of Sanary-sur-Mer
On the night of August 8th to 9th, the conditions were perfect for capturing a photo of the Milky Way—no moon, no clouds, and low humidity. While on vacation in the south of France, in my hometown, I took the opportunity to photograph our galaxy over the sea from the Pointe de la Cride, facing the islands of Les Embiez and Le Rouveau.
I only needed a few shots to create this photo: 12 fixed shots of 90 seconds each to properly capture the foreground (rocks, sea, islands) and 12 shots of 90 seconds with sidereal tracking to capture the Milky Way and the stars. I used a partially modified Canon 1200D, a 24mm lens at f/2, with an ISO of 1600, and the sidereal tracking was managed by a Star Adventurer 2i. I took 12 dark frames but no flats. The processing was done in Siril, with post-processing in Gimp.
In the foreground of the photo, you can see two of the rocks below the cliffs of La Cride. In the distance, the island on the right is Le Rouveau, topped by its lighthouse; to the left is a part of Les Embiez, where you can see the Genoese tower. The light to the right of Rouveau is the western cardinal buoy of Les Magnons, a small archipelago of islets barely visible from the coast. Regarding the Milky Way, the portion visible in the photo is the galactic bulge, appearing vertically. It is segmented by dark nebulae, which are clouds of dust blocking the light. At the very top, a distinct red spot can be seen—this is the Lagoon Nebula. Immediately to its right, slightly above, is another smaller nebula, the Trifid Nebula. In the lower left of the Milky Way, there is also a very dense and bright cluster of stars, which is the open cluster Messier 7. To its right, slightly above, is another open cluster, Messier 6.

The falling blossoms
Look at them, it is the storm
That is chasing them
The sensory language of Haiku-poetry…a Japanese lyrical art-form from the 1600’s.
Haiku-poetry exhibits a rigid 5-7-5 structure and does not have to rhyme. It is very precise in it’s expression of nature and of feelings, always placed in the present tense, and contains very few words. The omission of a single element would result in the verse “falling apart”, losing it’s meaning.
There is no place for abstract imagery within the Haiku universe. Its language is short and precise and leaves the reader with no doubt as to its meaning.
Matsuo Basho (1644-1694) is often considered ”the father” of Haiku but it is not known exactly when the first haiku was written. The earliest examples of haiku-like verses are in the 1235 Hyakunin Isshu anthology, compiled by Fujiwara no Teika.
In this example of the pre-Haiku era, the first kana is of course at the top of the perpendicular, but the text is in just one line and not in the rigid 5-7-5 structure of Haiku. (No rules without exceptions).
The falling blossoms
Look at them, it is the storm
That is chasing them
(Translation by Henderson).
Enjoy my pictorial interpretation…..

The phrase "Go West, young man" is often used to encourage people to seek new opportunities and a fresh start, whether in the literal sense of moving to the western United States or in a more metaphorical way.
The phrase "Go West, young man" is commonly attributed to Horace Greeley, the editor of the New-York Daily Tribune, although its exact origin is debated. The phrase is associated with the concept of Manifest Destiny and the westward expansion of the United States during the 19th century.
While Greeley frequently used the phrase and is widely credited with popularising it, some sources suggest that John B.L. Soule, editor of the Terre Haute Express, may have used it earlier. Regardless of its precise origin, the phrase became a rallying cry for those seeking opportunity and a new life in the American West.

[PT] Entre ruas, sombras e ficções
Contemplo ruas, pessoas e pedras, entre ficções e esquecimentos, inspirado no poeta, talvez, percebo as sombras dos gestos de outros, a poesia do crepúsculo, um desassossego.
“...todos somos igualmente derivados de não sei quê, sombras de gestos feitos por outrem, efeitos encarnados, consequências que sentem.” (Fernando Pessoa, Livro do Desassossego, v.164)
[ES] Entre calles, sombras y ficciones
Contemplo calles, personas y piedras, entre ficciones y olvidos, inspirado en el poeta, quizás, percibo las sombras de los gestos de otros, la poesía del crepúsculo, una inquietud.
“...todos somos igualmente derivados de no sé qué, sombras de gestos hechos por otra persona, efectos encarnados, consecuencias que sienten.” (Fernando Pessoa, Libro del desasosiego, v.164)
[ENG] Between streets, shadows and fictions
I contemplate streets, people and stones, between fictions and oblivion, inspired by the poet, perhaps, I perceive the shadows of the gestures of others, the poetry of twilight, a restlessness.
“...we are all equally derived from I don't know what, shadows of gestures made by someone else, embodied effects, consequences they feel.” (Fernando Pessoa, Book of Disquiet, v.164)
This unique 1.5 Liter Aston Martin LM3 was the only new factory-built Aston Martin team car for 1929, and was part of an elite group of 7 factory works racers built between 1927-31 to compete internationally.
The third car to be more precise and the only hand-crafted Works Team Aston Martin built in 1929 which was actually raced by company director Augustus Bertelli himself.
This, at the time new “sports model” was much lighter than previous race models. Whereby most of the bronze parts were replaced by aluminium produced ones. Initially, the chassis was fitted with a two-seater pointed-tail racing body with no doors. LM3 had its track debut in the first ever Double 12 Hour meeting at Brooklands with Bertelli and chief mechanic Jack Bezzant sharing driving duties finishing a creditable 5th. After this, many other international events followed.

While a precise UK-wide figure isn't available, police seized over 120,000 vehicles for no insurance in 2023 according to the Motor Insurers' Bureau.
How it works:
ANPR cameras:
Police use Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras to scan vehicle licence plates.
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.

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".

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..

The precise reason that birds and animals yawn is not conclusive, but some evidence suggests it's a thermoregulatory behavior.

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.

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.

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.

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 !
