Le Combattant varié présente un dimorphisme sexuel extrême et les ornements du mâle diffèrent d’un individu à l’autre au niveau de la couleur et des dessins.
En plumage nuptial, le mâle a le bas du dos et la queue barrés de noir. Le manteau et les scapulaires varient du noir au brun, en passant par chamois, châtain, ocre et blanc. Les parties inférieures sont plutôt sombres, excepté le bas de l’abdomen, le dessous des ailes et les sous-caudales qui sont blancs.
Sur la tête, les oreillons et la collerette varient beaucoup en couleur, allant du chamois ou châtain au violet noirâtre, noir ou blanc, souvent avec des dessins barrés ou mouchetés.
Le bec est brun ou orange terne. Les yeux sont brun foncé. Les pattes et les doigts sont jaune verdâtre ou orange foncé. Les petites caroncules verruqueuses de la face varient et peuvent être verdâtres, jaunâtres, orangées, rougeâtre ou brunes.
Au moment des parades, les mâles observent une hiérarchie dictée par les couleurs des plumes ornementales. Les mâles « résidents » ou « indépendants » ont le plumage plus foncé, en particulier les oreillons et la collerette, tandis que les mâles « satellites » sont légèrement plus petits et ont généralement la collerette et les oreillons clairs ou blancs.
Ces plumes ornementales sont visibles pendant une durée relativement courte, en général d’avril à juin. En dehors de cette période, le mâle ressemble à la femelle au niveau de la silhouette et de la couleur du plumage, mais il est nettement plus grand.
Le Combattant est une espèce dont la reproduction est atypique chez les limicoles, ne donnant pas lieu à la formation
de couples. Les mâles se rassemblent sur des places de parade (appelées leks) où ils se livrent à des simulacres de
combats afin d’attirer les femelles. Certains mâles présents sur ces arènes pourront se reproduire avec plusieurs
femelles, d’autres ne trouvant jamais de partenaire. Les femelles, quant à elles, pourront fréquenter plusieurs arènes
et s’accoupler avec plusieurs mâles.
Les femelles nichent solitairement jusqu’à plusieurs kilomètres des arènes. Les œufs sont déposés dans une cuvette
grattée dans le sol, garnie de quelques végétaux et bien dissimulée dans la végétation. La période de ponte s’étale de
début avril à fin juin . Les quatre œufs, brun-olive tachetés de noir, sont incubés par la femelle durant trois
semaines. Les poussins, nidifuges, peuvent être abandonnés par la femelle après seulement 10 à 15 jours. Ils sont
aptes au vol au bout de quatre semaines. La femelle n’élève pas plus d’une nichée par an. La maturité sexuelle est
atteinte parfois dès un an et plus généralement à deux ans chez les femelles, les mâles se reproduisant rarement avant
deux ans.
Le baguage des jeunes oiseaux a permis de montrer l’absence de philopatrie. Le « brassage » génétique qui en résulte
peut expliquer l’absence de sous-espèce et même de population biogéographique chez cette espèce dont l’aire de
reproduction est pourtant très vaste.
La longévité maximale observée grâce aux données de baguage est d’environ 13 ans

Großer Brachvogel (Numenius arquata) - (eurasion) curlew
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gro%C3%9Fer_Brachvogel
Der Große Brachvogel (Numenius arquata) ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Schnepfenvögel (Scolopacidae). Es werden zwei Unterarten unterschieden. Die Nominatform ist in Mitteleuropa ein zunehmend seltener Brut- und Sommervogel. Die Rote Liste der Brutvögel Deutschlands von 2015 führt die Art in der Kategorie 1 als vom Aussterben bedroht.[1] Er ist während der Zugzeiten ein regelmäßiger Durchzügler und Rastvogel, der gebietsweise auch überwintert.[2]
In Deutschland war der Große Brachvogel im Jahre 1982 Vogel des Jahres.
Beschreibung
Der Große Brachvogel ist etwa 50 bis 60 cm lang und wiegt zwischen 600 und 1000 Gramm. Die Flügelspannweite beträgt 80 bis 100 cm. Die Vögel sind die größten Watvögel, und sie sind in Europa die häufigsten Vertreter der Brachvögel. Charakteristisches Kennzeichen des Großen Brachvogels ist der lange und stark nach unten gekrümmte Schnabel. Das Weibchen ist etwas größer als das Männchen und hat einen deutlich stärker gebogenen und längeren Schnabel. Ansonsten sehen die Geschlechter gleich aus.
Große Brachvögel sind eher unscheinbar gefärbt. Der Kopf, der Hals, die Brust die Körperoberseite sind fahl beigebraun mit dunklen Streifen und Flecken. Die Wangen sind dunkel gestrichelt und kontrastieren dadurch mit dem hellen Kinn- und Kehlfleck. Die Brust ist etwas kräftiger gestreift und wird zum Bauch hin heller. Im Flug wird der weiße Bürzel sichtbar, der mit dem weißen Rücken einen weißen Keil bildet.
Eurasian curlew
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_curlew
The Eurasian curlew or common curlew (Numenius arquata) is a wader in the large family Scolopacidae. It is one of the most widespread of the curlews, breeding across temperate Europe and Asia. In Europe, this species is often referred to just as the "curlew", and in Scotland known as the "whaup" in Scots.
This is the largest wader in its range, at 50–60 cm (20–24 in) in length, with an 89–106 cm (35–42 in) wingspan and a body weight of 410–1,360 g (0.90–3.00 lb).[2] It is mainly greyish brown, with a white back, greyish-blue legs and a very long curved bill. Males and females look identical, but the bill is longest in the adult female. It is generally not possible to recognize the sex of a single Eurasian curlew, or even several ones, as there is much variation; telling male and female of a mated pair apart is usually possible however.
The familiar call is a loud curloo-oo.
The only similar species over most of the curlew's range is the whimbrel (N. phaeopus). The whimbrel is smaller and has a shorter bill with a kink rather than a smooth curve. Flying curlews may also resemble bar-tailed godwits (Limosa lapponica) in their winter plumages; however, the latter have a smaller body, a slightly upturned beak, and legs that do not reach far beyond their tail tips. The Eurasian curlew's feet are longer, forming a conspicuous "point".
The curlew exists as a migratory species over most of its range, wintering in Africa, southern Europe and south Asia. Occasionally a vagrant individual reaches places far from its normal range, such as Nova Scotia[3] and the Marianas.[4][5] It is present all year in the milder climates of Ireland and the United Kingdom and its adjacent European coasts.

This is an image of wild flowers in brass thimble. This was definately the most difficult assignment so far. I looked like a micro-surgeon, operating on small bouquet: converging lens was above bouquet, in my left hand was a pincette, in my right hand was pair of scissors. Also, I had to work very quickly as wild flowers wilt within fifteen minutes. I've worked on this for two days in order to be ready for the big shoot; I've practiced the speed so I could do it quickly and in enough time. At the end I've managed to capture these small wild flowers in a thimble as I've imagined it.
I wish you a lot of years of succesful work and thank you all for helping me learn so much about macro photography.

Regno Unito, Londra, Westminster Abbey, Autunno 2021
Westminster Abbey è una grande abbazia gotica nella città di Westminster, Londra. Si tratta di uno degli edifici religiosi più importanti del Regno Unito e il tradizionale luogo per l’incoronazione e di sepoltura per i membri della monarchia britannica poi. La costruzione della chiesa attuale è iniziata nel 1245, su ordine del re Enrico III. Dall’incoronazione di Guglielmo il Conquistatore nel 1066, ogni monarca britannico, con le eccezioni di Edoardo V e Edoardo VIII, sono stati incoronati nell'abbazia di Westminster. Nel 2005 l'Abbazia di Westminster ha chiuso le sue porte all'adattamento cinematografico del Codice Da Vinci, dicendo che il libro era "teologicamente infondato". Alcune scene nella seconda parte del libro erano ambientate nell’abbazia londinese, ma sono state invece filmate alla cattedrale di Lincoln nella parte orientale dell'Inghilterra.
Westminster Abbey is a large Gothic abbey church in the City of Westminster, London. It is one of the United Kingdom's most notable religious buildings and the traditional place of coronation and burial site for English and, later, British monarchs. Construction of the present church began in 1245, on the orders of King Henry III. Since the coronation of William the Conqueror in 1066, every English and British monarch, with the exceptions of Edward V and Edward VIII, have been crowned in Westminster Abbey. In 2005 Westminster Abbey has shut its doors to the film adaptation of The Da Vinci Code, saying that the book is "theologically unsound". Some scenes in the latter part of the book are set in the abbey in London but they had to film at Lincoln Cathedral in eastern England instead.
brought to me yesterday evening by my Timmy :-) He always let her run for a moment in the living room and then caught her again. I was able to catch her with a glass and of course she was quickly snapped before I let her out in front of the house :-) Hopefully I didn't hurt her tail with the glass.
I locked Timmy in the living room for this time. He then looked disappointed that I didn't properly appreciate his gift. He had probably thought that we could chase the mouse together in the living room ;-)
Cette pièce fait partie d'une paire de Coupes d'une Ammonite fossile présentant de la Citrine. Ce minéral aux couleurs à tendance jaune est une variété de Quartz et est considéré comme étant la pierre de la Fortune, la Prospérité et la Réussite. Il a beaucoup d'autres vertus selon les adeptes du Feng Shui. Pourvu que ça marche.

Angkor Thom"Great City", located in present-day Cambodia, was the last and most enduring capital city of the Khmer empire. It was established in the late twelfth century by King Jayavarman VII.:378–382:170
It covers an area of 9 km², within which are located several monuments from earlier eras as well as those established by Jayavarman and his successors. At the centre of the city isJayavarman's state temple, the Bayon, with the other major sites clustered around the Victory Square immediately to the north.
Map of Central Angkor Thom
Angkor Thom was established as the capital of Jayavarman VII's empire, and was the centre of his massive building programme. One inscription found in the city refers to Jayavarman as the groom and the city as his bride.:121
Angkor Thom seems not to be the first Khmer capital on the site, however. Yasodharapura, dating from three centuries earlier, was centred slightly further northwest, and Angkor Thom overlapped parts of it. The most notable earlier temples within the city are the former state temple of Baphuon, and Phimeanakas, which was incorporated into the Royal Palace. The Khmers did not draw any clear distinctions between Angkor Thom and Yashodharapura: even in the fourteenth century an inscription used the earlier name.:138 The name of Angkor Thom—great city—was in use from the 16th century.
The last temple known to have been constructed in Angkor Thom was Mangalartha, which was dedicated in 1295. Thereafter the existing structures continued to be modified from time to time, but any new creations were in perishable materials and have not survived.
The Ayutthaya Kingdom, led by King Borommarachathirat II, sacked Angkor Thom, forcing the Khmers under Ponhea Yat to relocate their capital southeast.:29
Angkor Thom was abandoned some time prior to 1609, when an early western visitor wrote of an uninhabited city, "as fantastic as the Atlantis of Plato".:140 It is believed to have sustained a population of 80,000–150,000 people.

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
Kahlil Gibran
No, non voglio la Luna..
Ma ecco cosa vorrei.
Per me stesso, vorrei restare sempre in salute, cosa da non dare mai per scontata.
E nella vita, in generale, trovare un nuovo equilibrio nel quale costruire per bene tutto il resto e iniziare un percorso nuovo.
Più semplicemente, non vorrei niente di più di quello che ho, vorrei non perdere nulla.
Ma vorrei tanto che le persone più care attorno a me trovassero sempre la serenità ed un sorriso, anche grazie a me.
Parlando del mondo, vorrei che la Luna fosse vista da tutti per quello che è: un mondo magico che galleggia nel cielo sopra di noi e che ci fa sentire piccoli piccoli e fragili...
e proprio per questo, ci aiuti ad essere più uniti, intenzionati a costruire invece che a distruggere,
concentrati a proteggere il nostro mondo invece che ignorare le sue grida in nome del profitto.
E infine vorrei che per il giovani, i più giovani, fosse un anno di nuova speranza per contare di più, per trovare un loro posto nel presente e con meno paura nei confronti del futuro.
Un futuro in cui si sentiranno protagonisti e non semplici comparse. Un futuro che, mi auguro, sia cominciato alla mezzanotte di oggi.
Buon 2023!

A rare survivor in London's Docklands.
Thames Ironworks produced the world's first all-iron warship, HMS Warrior, which was launched in 1860.
Thames Ironworks FC, a football club formed by the workers of that company, was created on 29 June 1895. It later became West Ham United.
Il chiostro maiolicato o il chiostro delle Clarisse è uno dei quattro chiostri monumentali del monastero di Santa Chiara di Napoli, tra le architetture ed espressioni artistiche più celebri e note della città.
Il chiostro è opera del 1739 e si deve all'estro creativo di Domenico Antonio Vaccaro.
In questo periodo si diede inizio ad un radicale cambiamento che riguardò tutto il complesso monastico voluto dalla dinastia angioina, con il quale si cancellò tutto il circondario originario composto da edifici religiosi nonché gli interni gotici, a favore di forme artistiche barocche.
Il chiostro grande godendo di maggiori investimenti per le restaurazioni, fu completamente trasformato da Domenico Antonio Vaccaro che mantenne la struttura gotica ridisegnando solo il giardino rustico decorato da preziose "riggiole" maiolicate di Donato e Giuseppe Massa che riprendono paesaggi e scene bucoliche napoletane. L'opera di ammodernamento fu resa possibile anche attraverso le donazioni di famiglie aristocratiche e quindi grazie soprattutto all'intervento della badessa Ippolita di Carmignano, grazie alla quale, per sua volontà, fu creata una maggiore apertura verso l'esterno in modo tale che la nuova struttura rompesse l'austerità del vicino tempio gotico, rendendo dunque gli spazi più armoniosi e fondendo architettura e natura così da confondere gli ospiti. Durante questi interventi le fontane trecentesche, che un tempo abbellivano la chiesa, furono portate all'esterno e una di queste fu completamente circondata da un "mare maiolicato". Tuttavia, seppur le suore disponevano di una ingente somma di denaro, per i lavori di ristrutturazione queste chiesero ulteriori aiuti anche alla regina Maria Amalia di Sassonia, moglie di Carlo III di Borbone.
Il bombardamento aereo del 1943 che distrusse buona parte dei locali della vicina basilica, non riuscì però a deturpare il chiostro delle Clarisse di Santa Chiara e quindi, restando quasi completamente immune all'esplosione, rimane assieme a due cappelle della basilica ed al suo pavimento di Ferdinando Fuga una delle testimonianze barocche del monastero.
Dopo la seconda guerra mondiale, a causa degli ingenti danni subiti dal monastero, molti documenti storici relativi al complesso religioso furono andati perduti, non potendo così fornire alcuna informazione circa gli affreschi trecenteschi prima e seicenteschi poi che caratterizzano le pareti del porticato.
Il chiostro vede lungo il porticato 72 pilastri di varia grandezza e di forma ottagonale sormontati da archi a sesto acuto con volte a crociera, di cui 17 al lato nord e 16 lungo i restanti lati. Alle pareti sono presenti cicli di affreschi barocchi di ignoto autore su Storie francescane, mentre sul lato interno del porticato vi sono muretti decorati da riggiole con paesaggi. I pilastri del chiostro sorreggono un terrazzo caratterizzato dalle celle, mentre, al secondo piano un ulteriore terrazzo fungeva da "luogo di delizie", soprattutto perché si aveva una visuale della città e si scorgeva il mare.
Il chiostro è attraversato da due viali in croce su un piano sollevato rispetto a quello dei portici, completando la grandiosa opera di trasformazione con 64 pilastri maiolicati con figure di fiori e frutta di forma ottagonale. I viali che dividono il giardino sono fiancheggiati da sedili e colonne rivestiti anch'essi da maioliche con Paesaggi, Scene campestri, Mascherate, Scene mitologiche ed infine, tra gli aspetti più interessanti del chiostro, con le scene di vita quotidiana della Napoli del Sei e Settecento che raccontano cosa succedeva all'esterno del complesso attraverso rappresentazioni della città e le sue allegorie che comunque rimandano ai quattro elementi: terra, aria, fuoco e acqua.
Tra le aiuole ci sono due fontane con fondo maiolicato, una delle quali è ornata da quattro sculture di leoni del XIV secolo.
Sul lato di servizio del chiostro, a nord, era disposto invece un cimitero, poi scomparso durante i rifacimenti settecenteschi, mentre da questo stesso lato è l'accesso alla scala Santa voluta negli ultimi anni del XVII secolo dalla badessa Teresa Gattola, tra le nobili personalità dell'aristocrazia napoletana attive verso il restauro del chiostro.
