The clocks turned - Earth reassuringly continued to rotate, and apparently "Seconds" even leapt.
Regardless - 2017 arrived right on time.

One of the reasons I live on a 7,000 foot saddle between Utah and Colorado is that the winter sun shines longer than in the valleys I've lived in most of my adult life. We don't get the deep winter shadows and temperature inversions that plague Moab or Logan that caused cabin fever.
Le château des ducs de Bretagne est un château défensif et de plaisance situé à Nantes. Le château est classé monument historique depuis 1840. Le château a été construit au XVe siècle avec des éléments ajoutés aux XIVe au XVIIIe siècle. Fondé par les ducs de Bretagne au XIIIe siècle pour constituer une base défensive à Nantes, le château est devenu, sous François II, la principale résidence ducale bretonne. Sa fonction militaire est également utilisée par le duc lors de la Guerre folle au cours de laquelle il s'oppose au roi de France. Sa fille, la duchesse Anne, est plus tard contrainte d'épouser deux rois de France successifs, Charles VIII et Louis XII. Ces mariages entraînent l'union de la Bretagne à la France, définitivement scellée par un édit signé au château en 1532, par François Ier. Dès lors, le château perd son statut de résidence ducale pour devenir une forteresse royale. Il voit passer la plupart des rois de France, lorsque ceux-ci visitent la Bretagne, et il est la résidence officielle des gouverneurs de la province. Cependant, les séjours de ces derniers sont souvent brefs, à l'exception notable du duc de Mercœur, un gouverneur qui y tient une cour pendant les guerres de Religion. Sous l'Ancien Régime, le château sert aussi de prison d'État, ainsi que de caserne et d'arsenal militaire. Il ne subit aucune dégradation pendant la Révolution, mais l'explosion des réserves de poudre, en 1800, détruit une bonne part du monument. Propriété de la ville de Nantes à partir de 1915, il devient un musée en 1924. De 1990 à 2007, il bénéficie d’une rénovation de grande ampleur et il accueille, depuis 2007, le musée d'Histoire de Nantes.
The castle of the Dukes of Brittany is a defensive and pleasure castle located in Nantes. The castle has been listed as a historical monument since 1840. The castle was built in the 15th century with elements added in the 14th to the 18th century. Founded by the Dukes of Brittany in the 13th century to constitute a defensive base in Nantes, the castle became, under François II, the main Breton ducal residence. His military function was also used by the Duke during the Mad War during which he opposed the King of France. His daughter, Duchess Anne, was later forced to marry two successive kings of France, Charles VIII and Louis XII. These marriages lead to the union of Brittany with France, definitively sealed by an edict signed at the castle in 1532, by François Ier. Consequently, the castle loses its status of ducal residence to become a royal fortress. It sees most of the kings of France pass, when they visit Brittany, and it is the official residence of the governors of the province. However, the stays of the latter are often brief, with the notable exception of the Duke of Mercœur, a governor who held a court there during the Wars of Religion. Under the Ancien Régime, the castle also served as a state prison, as well as barracks and military arsenal. It did not undergo any degradation during the Revolution, but the explosion of the powder reserves in 1800 destroyed a good part of the monument. Property of the city of Nantes from 1915, it became a museum in 1924. From 1990 to 2007, it benefited from a large-scale renovation and, since 2007, it has housed the Nantes History Museum.

Cromford Mill, the world’s first successful water powered cotton spinning mill, was built in 1771 by Sir Richard Arkwright.
From then until around 1790, he continued to develop the mills, warehouses and workshops, which now form the Cromford Mills site. Considered as a whole, it presents a remarkable picture of an early textile factory complex.
Sir Richard Arkwright’s invention of the waterframe to spin cotton transformed the manufacture of cotton into England’s major industry and created a system of factory production that spread throughout the world. The cotton industry was a cornerstone of the industrial revolution.
Arkwright took out a patent for his waterframe in 1769 and moved from Preston to Nottingham to set up a horse powered mill to run his machines. Driven by the need for more power he searched for a site to build a water powered mill and settled upon Cromford, using the Bonsall Brook and the Cromford Sough. In 1771 he set about building the first mill here.
In the next few years, the site grew rapidly, and Arkwright needed to attract more workers to the area; he expanded Cromford Village with the building of Derbyshire’s first row of planned industrial housing on North Street in 1776. Arkwright later built the marketplace, the Greyhound Hotel, and further housing for his growing workforce to create the village you see today

Caía la tarde en la marisma y la orilla del estero ya estaba en sombra. Este correlimos menudo ( Calidris minuta) venia de bañarse en la zona soleada. La poca luz de la orilla me obligaba a disparar con mucho menos velocidad de obturación para poder retratarlo pero las sacudidas son increíblemente rápidas, incluso para buenas condiciones de luz. El resultado me pareció curioso.

Evening was falling on the marsh and the shore of the estuary was already in shadow. This little stint (Calidris minuta) came from bathing in the sunny area. The low light on the shore forced me to shoot with a much slower shutter speed in order to capture it, but the shake is incredibly fast, even for good lighting conditions. The result seemed curious to me.
