Mont-devant-Sassey
Meuse
Lorraine
Grand Est
Edifiée sur les contreforts de l’Argonne aux XIe et XIIe siècles, l’église Notre-Dame de Mont-devant-Sassey est l’un des plus beaux édifices religieux de Lorraine. Malgré les périodes de construction successives, les guerres et les pillages, elle est parvenue jusqu’à nous en ayant conservé une grande homogénéité et une sobre élégance.
Elle recèle des trésors d’architecture et de sculpture romanes et gothiques : le chœur et la crypte ajourée du XIIe siècle sont remarquables, la nef de la fin du XIIe siècle est entièrement restaurée, le portail sculpté du XIIIe siècle est le plus ancien conservé de toute la Lorraine.

A man is a success if he gets up in the morning
and goes to bed at night and in between
does what he wants to do
Here's just one more from Sunday's hunt. Seems like I should show at least one result of the dives anyway.
Mama Red Necked Grebe shows me her eggs for the first time. I believe there are three. I went to check the nest this morning after a lot of rain and very strong winds yesterday. Thankfully the nest is about two inches / five centimetres above the waterline and there is no rain in the forecast.
La cattedrale dell'Assunta, Savona.
Si trova nel cuore del centro storico della città, non lontano dalla Cappella Sistina.
Nel 1528 Savona si era arresa alle truppe genovesi che avevano conquistato la città e occupato la parte più antica dell'abitato sulla collina del Priamar. Negli anni immediatamente successivi, i genovesi costruirono una imponente fortezza su tale sito, demolendo sistematicamente tutti gli antichi edifici compresa la cattedrale del IX secolo, dapprima sconsacrata e poi definitivamente distrutta nel 1595. Per tali ragioni nel 1559 papa Paolo IV eresse a cattedrale la chiesa di San Francesco, il cui chiostro esiste ancora sul lato sinistro dell'attuale duomo. Nel 1584 si iniziò la costruzione dell'odierno edificio, sulla precedente chiesa del convento di San Francesco, terminato nel 1605.

A royal spoonbill catches lunch at the lagoon. It is a 4 km walk from our friends house around the lagoon and beach and back to the house but always some pictures to be taken!
Hope you have a successful Friday and thanks very much if you have time for a comment.

There are days when I wake up, have my coffee on the back deck or front porch, smell my garden and listen to the birds where I feel like "success". This image is from my garden using "in camera" multiple exposures.
They said I had to wear a suit to work. Who was I to deny them in this latest release from Avec Toi at the FameshedX event 10/10/22
Avec Toi seems to really know my personal style, because a corset with a white blouse is my power outfit. And now it exists in SL and I'm SO happy it does!
Strassoldo è una frazione del comune di Cervignano del Friuli, provincia di Udine. Costituisce un suggestivo esempio di antico borgo medievale, estremamente ben conservato e di raro fascino
...a nord dell'attuale Edificio sorgeva in mezzo ad un fitto Bosco un piccolo Mulino ad acqua alimentato dalla Roggia Cistigna ed adibito principalmente alla Pilatura dell'Orzo .
Esso veniva appellato come " Mulino Gandini " e successivamente il popolino lo chiamo' più semplicemente " Mulino del Bosco " o " Mulino Bruciato " !
Quando la Struttura termino' di operare intorno alla meta' dell'Ottocento , il nome di Mulino del Bosco passo' al presente Manufatto in attività e che era quello del Castello di Strassoldo ( o Mulino del Torat ) .
Tutt'ora il Mulino e' privato
Success on Sgurr na Stri the day before meant that I had bonus days to tick off more minor Bucket List items. The first was Marsco, which is another very well placed mountain that is another superb vantage point to get a different view of the Black Cuillin of Skye. Marsco is the finest of the 'Red Hills', being 736 metres or 2414 feet high, with a very well defined summit ridge.
This is looking along that summit ridge towards the south top. Beyond that is the pointy peak Garbh Bheinn which has a tiny summit table and big drops all round. Connected to it by the famous Clach Glas ridge is the brooding magnificance of Bla Bheinn, surely one of the finest mountains in these Isles. Following the ridge down to the right in this picture you get all the way down to sea level at Camasunary, Loch na Creitheach and the sea loch of Loch Scavaig. The little inconsequential bump centre right is Sgurr na Stri, and from here it is hard to beleive it is such an amazing viewpoint. On the far right is Gar Bheinn, the southern end of the main Black Cuillin ridge.
As you can also see, we encountered some more usual Skye weather. The hail-storm over Garbh Bheinn and Bla Bheinn fortunately missed, but we did't stay lucky...
The Old Curiosity Shop in Holborn. Probably the oldest surviving shop in central London, dating from the 1567, but not the one that inspired Dickens. A 19th century owner decided to cash in on the books' success after Dickens death.
Four Whiskered Tern (Chlidonias hybrida) exploring their lucks in the intertidal mudflats with perfect following up moves. The first one got its catch in the beak right after taking it off from the water surface with the typical style while the rest of the three were following the same pattern of moves in the backdrop. The symmetry of moves and the Bokeh transition with the hint of Depth of field are the special effects in this unique composition. Pics was taken from Patibunia beach, West Bengal, India.
In my previous post, a snowy egret had struck at a tiny fish as it flew by the water’s surface hoping for a fly-by catch. It was indeed successful and after gulping this tiny minnow down it continued its search for more.
On this particular morning, the tide was coming in and there was a feeding frenzy like I had not witnessed before. Literally a hundred or more birds were feeding in the shallow water feasting on the bounty of small fish. There were snowy egrets, great egrets, reddish egrets, great blue herons and white ibis to name a few. There was also a pod of baby tarpon feeding nearby, although they definitely didn’t fit the bill of “small fish!”
Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!

After many years of putting up a variety of birdhouses we finally have a nesting pair of swallows who have taken up our offer and moved in to one of them. They are very attentive parents and are constantly checking the contents of their new home which I assume is one or two eggs.? Two years ago we did find a flying squirrel nesting in one of the other bird houses. The flying squirrel is nocturnal so we had no idea he/she was there until I went to take it down for some maintenance. I almost fell off the ladder when he/she jumped on my shoulder.
It's not much of a photo but I couldn't help but share our delight at our new tenants.
I've had great fun testing out the slow motion video function on my new camera on this pair - but - I am definitely not a videographer.
P.S. I don't own a 300mm f2.8 lens so I don't know why the EXIF info on this shot says that was what it was taken with ... wish I did own one. The photo was taken with a Sigma/Bigma 50-500mm Minolta a-mount with a mount adaptor.
