Pied Flycatcher (F) - Ficedula hypoleuca
The European pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca) is a small passerine bird in the Old World flycatcher family. One of the four species of Western Palearctic black-and-white flycatchers, it hybridizes to a limited extent with the collared flycatcher. It breeds in most of Europe and western Asia.
It is migratory, wintering mainly in tropical Africa.
It usually builds its nests in holes on oak trees. This species practices polygyny, usually bigamy, with the male travelling large distances to acquire a second mate. The male will mate with the secondary female and then return to the primary female in order to help with aspects of child rearing, such as feeding.
The European pied flycatcher is mainly insectivorous, although its diet also includes other arthropods. This species commonly feeds on spiders, ants, bees and similar prey.
The European pied flycatcher predominately practices a mixed mating system of monogamy and polygyny. Their mating system has also been described as successive polygyny. Within the latter system, the males leave their home territory once their primary mates lays their first eggs. Males then create a second territory, presumably in order to attract a secondary female to breed. Even when they succeed at acquiring a second mate, the males typically return to the first female to exclusively provide for her and her offspring.
Males will sometimes care for both mates if the nests of the primary and secondary female are close together. The male may also care for both mates once the offspring of the primary female have fledged. The male bird usually does not exceed two mates, practicing bigamy. Only two cases of trigyny had been observed.

The old adage of if you don't succeed try, try again is well known to those shooting landscapes and cityscapes. We've all encountered the time when the weather, the sun, the clouds, the city lights, or maybe all of the above just don't want to cooperate when you're trying to get that perfect shot. If we're lucky we get to go back to try again and hope the next opportunity turns out better.
That's the story of this beautiful area along False Creek in Vancouver overlooking Science World and BC Place stadium. I was hoping to get a decent blue hour shot here and luckily was in Vancouver for 4 days which allowed for multiple attempts. On the first attempt the rain came pouring down right around when sunset was supposed to be through blue hour. The second attempt I was very hopeful. It was Victoria Day, a major holiday in Canada, and the weather was going to be wonderful! My hopes were up dreaming of fireworks and the Science World dome with amazing lights... only to find no fireworks and most of the dome lights off with only a small section in red... Luck was on my side on the 3rd try with the dome fully lit with a cool purple! Eureka! Third time turned out to be a charm :)
" You won’t succeed with every try. You just need to do your best …With adventure comes perspective And relationships – and skill Yes, the things that really matter…. When you act with power and will Prosperity is character. When challenging times arrive, So brace up and hold steadfast… Act with confidence… and thrive for your prosperity. "
Rest hope you all enjoy amsy work as always ^^

In this anthological light at sunset, I was very happy to succeed in this huge panorama of Mâcon from nine original photos assembled 3 by 3 in HDR mode, then with the 3 resulting HDR photos juxtaposed in one.
I tried on this photo to give the widest possible view of Mâcon. It gives a good idea of the scale and beauty of the panorama. It is particularly highlighted by extraordinary reflections in the Saône river, and by the sunset which illuminates the 2 towers of Saint-Pierre church and tints the sky with magnificent colours.
You can also admire here almost the entire Saint-Laurent bridge, dating from the 11th century. Only the last arch on the Saint-Laurent side is missing. Its extraordinary length for a medieval bridge (215 m - 706 ft) is obvious.
On the other side of the bridge, the whole Saône river's front of Mâcon unfolds, with in particular the 2 towers (14th century) of old Saint-Vincent, and the departmental archives tower which dates from the 1960s.

Immense panorama au coucher du soleil
Dans cette lumière d'anthologie au coucher du soleil, j'ai été très heureux de réussir ce panorama immense de Mâcon à partir de neuf photos d'origine assemblées 3 par 3 en mode HDR, puis avec les 3 photos HDR résultat juxtaposées en une seule.
J'ai cherché sur cette photo à donner la vue la plus large possible sur Mâcon. Elle donne une bonne idée de l'ampleur et de la beauté du panorama. Il est particulièrement mis en valeur par des reflets extraordinaires dans la Saône, et le coucher de soleil qui illumine les 2 tours de l'église Saint-Pierre et teinte le ciel de couleurs magnifiques.
On admire ici aussi pratiquement tout le pont de Saint-Laurent, datant du 11ème siècle. Il ne manque que la dernière arche coté Saint-Laurent. Sa longueur extraordinaire pour un pont médiéval (215 m) nous saute aux yeux.
De l'autre côté du pont, tout le front de Saône de Mâcon se déploie, avec notamment les 2 tours (14ème siècle) du vieux Saint-Vincent, et la tour des archives départementales qui date des années 1960.

A stark and imposing medieval fortress at the entrance to Wensleydale, begun by Richard le Scrope in 1378. Scrope was Lord Treasurer and Lord Chancellor to Richard II, and one of the most powerful men in late 14th century England. His new castle was intended to be a symbol of that power, and one look at the sturdy stone walls will tell you he succeeded.

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

I was totally excited when I saw the fog and the sun in the morning. I had planned for this. I got ready for work, skipped breakfast and went to out. The forest is on my way to my working place. I was hoping to find a path leading into the mist and into the sun. As you see I did not succeed because of the rapidly fading mist. I am happy anyway - what a start of the day.

Many centuries ago, Mr. Winter would retire to his mountain home when he heard the yawning of Mrs. Spring waking up. Thus each year one season succeeded the other. One year, Mrs. Spring wouldn't wake up, and Mr. Winter came over to where she slept. Beautiful green eyes smiled at him from the bed of leaves. Until then it was said that Mr. Winter was so cold that he had no heart. It was true that until then he didn't know that love existed, but that day something hit his chest inside him. Returning to his home, he put his hand into his chest and pulled out a strange, heart-shaped crystal. Since then, Mr. Winter awakens Spring and they dance happily together for several days, until Winter retires to his home with a smile.

"To succeed in life you need three things:
a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone."
Quote – Dr Kavanagh
~~~~The Three Bones of Life~~~
The wishbone is about the importance of having a goal or a dream. Something to aspire to and focus on. After all ‘if you don’t have a dream, how you gonna have a dream come true’? Anyone singing?! We all need motivation, and a goal or dream is a great way to keep moving forward. Your dream might be short or long term but it will be something that you can aim towards. Dreams help you go beyond your perceived limits and aim high. It’s so important that we don’t allow indecision or fear of failure or change to destroy our dreams and stop us achieving them.
The backbone is about strength and courage, keeping our feet on the ground and our head above water. If we want to achieve our dream, we need to be resilient, to stretch ourselves and see things through. It’s also about believing in yourself and having clear boundaries. Sometimes we have to say no to other people and put ourselves first in order to give ourselves strength and energy. It’s easy to be ordinary, so much harder to stand out from the crowd and stand up for what you believe in.
The funny bone reminds us that humour is so important in our daily lives. We need to be able to laugh at ourselves, be vulnerable and accept that making mistakes is all part of the journey. If we can be less serious and see the funny side of things, we will not only enjoy life more but we will be less self-absorbed and far more optimistic. It’s also about looking for the silver lining in the inevitable clouds.~~~~

Spring, also known as springtime, is one of the four temperate seasons, succeeding winter and preceding summer. There are various technical definitions of spring, but local usage of the term varies according to local climate, cultures and customs. When it is spring in the Northern Hemisphere, it is autumn in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa. At the spring (or vernal) equinox, days and nights are approximately twelve hours long, with daytime length increasing and nighttime length decreasing as the season progresses.
Spring and "springtime" refer to the season, and also to ideas of rebirth, rejuvenation, renewal, resurrection and regrowth. Subtropical and tropical areas have climates better described in terms of other seasons, e.g. dry or wet, monsoonal or cyclonic. Cultures may have local names for seasons which have little equivalence to the terms originating in Europe. Source Wikipedia.

Bizerte (Tunisie) - Bizerte était un port militaire du temps de la présence française. Aujourd’hui la ville est toujours réputée pour son savoir-faire dans la construction et la réparation navale.
Je me promenais aux abords de la rade pour observer trois dauphins qui s’ébattaient dans l’eau. Mon matériel photo n’étais pas adapté pour saisir ces mammifères marins, mais le spectacle était plaisant.
Au loin, j’ai aperçu des enfants qui se baignaient. Je suis allé à leur rencontre. Quand ils ont vu que je les photographiais, ils sont sortis de l’eau et se sont mis à faire des plongeons. J’ai calé ma vitesse au 1/500 (f : 8) et j’ai attendu le bon moment. J’ai fais deux photos. J’étais en argentique et il n’était pas question de mitrailler. Mon stock de films (30 Kodachrome et 50 HP5+) devait tenir 4 semaines.
Avais-je réussi cette photo ? Je n’ai vu le résultat qu’à mon retour en France.

Bizerte (Tunisia) - Bizerte was a military port at the time of the French presence. Today the city is still renowned for its know-how in shipbuilding and repair.
I was walking around the harbor to observe three dolphins in the water. My camera equipment was not suitable for capturing these marine mammals, but the show was pleasant.
In the distance, I saw children bathing. I went to meet them. When they saw that I was photographing them, they got out of the water and started to dive. I set my speed at 1/500 (f: 8) and waited for the right moment. I took two photos. My stock of films (30 Kodachrome and 50 HP5+) should last 4 weeks.
Did I succeed in this photo? I only saw the result when I returned to France.
This juvenile Australian Magpie, aka Maggie, landed on the roof of our veranda and I tried to capture her feet through the semi-transparent roofing. Alas, she kept moving and I couldn't succeed :( So, when she came down on the pavers, I aimed and shot, capturing her before she quickly flew off.
In one of my recent and lonely excursions testing cameras and different lenses, I went to Moià, the capital of Moianés, which is a newly created region. More exactly in 2015 and by popular vote.
It is a city that has been known since before the year 1000 and is an amalgam of new and old buildings well preserved and with winding streets with slopes breaks legs since it is located on a hillside.
I decided to edit this street because there was no car that would ruin it and because its buildings are really old without modern reconstructions.
The edition with discrete and blurred colors applied smoothly on the black and white version make it different from my more classic versions.
I was looking for something different, but I do not know if I have succeeded.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
En una de mis excursiones recientes y solitarias haciendo pruebas con cámaras y distintos objetivos, fui a Moià, capital del Moianés que es una comarca de reciente creación . Mas exactamente en el 2015 y por voto popular.
Es una ciudad de la que se tienen noticias desde antes del año 1000 y es una amalgama de edificios nuevos y antiguos bien conservados y con calles tortuosas con cuestas rompepiernas ya que está situada en una ladera.
Decidí editar esta calle porque no había ningún coche que la estropeara y porque sus edificios son realmente antiguos sin reconstrucciones modernas.
La edición con colores inconcretos y difuminados aplicados suavemente sobre la versión en blanco y negro la hacen distinta a mis versiones más clásicas.
Buscaba algo distinto, pero no sé si lo he logrado.
Nothing succeeds like excess ;-)

The Esterházy Palace at Fertőd is the greatest Baroque-Rococo monument complex in Hungary. On the site of the Palace, Duke Joseph Esterházy initiated the construction of a hunting lodge with twenty-two rooms in 1720, based on the plans of the Viennese architect, Erhard Martinelli. However, the golden age of the Palace began when Nicholas Esterházy (also known as Miklós ‘the Magnificent’) succeeded to the ducal title.
Utilising the grandeur of 18th century Baroque-Rococo architecture, Duke Nicholas enlarged the palace, and with the help of Nicolaus Jakoby; he created a large garden with several alleys. At the French Garden with an Opera House and a Marionette theatre and employed German theatre companies as well as Italian and French ballet dancers. The orchestra of the Palace led by Joseph Haydn the great musician and composer, the chamber composer and conductor at Eszterháza, was well-known all over Europe.
The second golden period of Eszterháza came about at the turn of the 19th and 20th century. The suites of the Palace and the French Garden were restored for Duke Nicholas Esterházy IV. and his wife, Countess Margaret Cziráky. Enchanted by Eszterháza the Countess spent her dowry on the restoration of the palace and the gardens. The modernisation of the park started in 1902. Among the designers of the gardens was Anton Umlauft, one of the best-known gardeners in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.
Spending so much time here, figured I would just name them. Willie is still at his same tricks, trying to steal a free meal, and Curtis is trying his best to prevent him from succeeding. But Willie is shorter and quicker, so he does just fine.
The Aberglaslyn Pass (Welsh: Bwlch Aberglaslyn) is a narrow gorge of considerable beauty in Snowdonia, Gwynedd, north Wales. The A498 road/A4085 road follows a relatively level route along the Afon Glaslyn through the pass from Beddgelert to Prenteg and then continues at the edge of the Traeth Mawr via Tremadog to Porthmadog.
As recently as the early 19th century, the river Glaslyn was navigable for small boats at high tide as far as Pont Aberglaslyn, which is just one mile south of Beddgelert, where a sixth-century monastery was succeeded in the twelfth by an Augustinian priory. In the Middle Ages Beddgelert was seen as a safe resting place before travelling further. The route from the coast via Beddgelert and overland to Caernarfon or Bangor via Llyn Cwellyn was often considered preferable to the long voyage round the Llŷn Peninsula.

The destiny of Prešov in the 17th – 18th century was more than any other eastern city linked to the powerful Rákoczi family and its important personalities. Rákoczi residence, as a reminder of those turbulent times, still excludes the east side of Main Street (house no. 86) facing the Roman Catholic Parish church.
Two medieval burgher houses stood originally in its place. At the end of the 16th century, two parcels were purchased by Sigismund Rákóczi, prince of Transylvania, who had city palace reconstructed in the Renaissance style. After the reconstruction another followed, late-Renaissance repair of the whole object at the beginning of the 17th century. While it was typical suave facade with windows, bay windows, finished with a beautiful attic, consisting of combinations of tags, crimps and blind arcades.
The entire facade and the attic are richly decorated by graphite. Thus Rákoczis succeeded in creating a genuine masterpiece of Renaissance architecture, regarded as the most beautiful urban Renaissance palace in the former Upper Hungary.
History of the Palace, since its establishment, is closely linked to family history of Rakoczis. In 1633 there were conducted the negotiations between representatives of the Transylvanian Prince, George I. Rákóczi and Emperor Ferdinand II, completed by signing the Prešov Peace. In April 1701 Habsburg authorities imprisoned there Francis II. Rákóczi,who had been captured in his mansion in Veľký Šariš. In 1711 it was confiscated and several owners changed off.
During the 18th century the wings of the courtyard were renewed in the Baroque style. In 19th century building had several owners or tenants who have adapted it for business and workshop premises.
Careful reconstruction of the palace to its original Renaissance form, completed by restoration of graphite decoration of the facade was in 1950-1956. Currently, the building houses the Regional Museum.

There are traces of settlement by the Iberians, succeeded by the Greeks and Romans, Visigoths and the Moors. From the early 17th century to the Spanish Civil War, the town was often fought over, due to its strategic situation between the Ebro and the coastal plain of Valencia. Morella is now a tourist destination, with many historic buildings, hotels and restaurants. It is listed as one of the most beautiful towns in Spain. Some of the top sights to see in Morella are the Castillo de Morella (Morella Castle), the aqueduct, La Iglesia de Santa María Morella (Saint Mary’s Church), Convento de San Francesc Morella (St. Francis’ Convent) and the Morella Museo Temps de Dinosaures (Time of Dinosaurs Museum Morella).

St. Mary's R.C. Church: The present Catholic Church in Simcoe was erected in 1886. On Christmas of that year Rev. H. G. Traher took charge of the newly-formed parish. Previous to that time the Catholics of this district had been looked after by the priests of LaSalette. Father Traher being called away in 1892, Rev. B. Boubat succeeded him for a year. Rev. D. P. McMenamin followed Father Boubat in 1893, and remained until 1897, when Rev. D. Forster, took charge of the parish. After about four years Rev. P. L'Heureux succeeded Father Forster and remained in charge until 1904, when Rev. J. Martin was appointed pastor. Father Martin remained in charge of the parish until 1910. In September, 1910, he left, and was succeeded by Rev. C. F. Nagle, who since that time has been pastor of the Catholic Church of Simcoe.
