Forum des Halles was a shopping mall in central Paris ( 1º arrondissement) built largely underground and directly connected to the RER and métro transit system. In the years 2010-2016 Forum des Halles was thoroughly redesigned and transformed into a cultural centre. Most of its old structures were demolished, so the stairs depicted on this photo don´t exist anymore.
This guy is sick of waiting to finally transform himself into a butterfly and be able to fly. Using some balloons he tries to take off from the ground and see the world from above ...
But obviously he miscalculated the correct size and number of balloons to get into the air. Try again or keep on waiting buddy! ;-)

Angkor Wat ("Capital Temple") is a temple complex in Cambodia and the largest religious monument in the world measuring 162.6 hectares. It was originally constructed in early 12th century by King Suryavarman II as a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Vishnu for the Khmer Empire and gradually transforming into a Buddhist temple towards the end of the 12th century. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious center since its foundation. The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. It has become a symbol of Cambodia (national flag) and it is the country's prime attraction for visitors.
Angkor Wat combines two basic plans of Khmer temple architecture: the temple-mountain and the later galleried temple. It is designed to represent Mount Meru. Within the moat is the outer wall 3.6 kilometers long and there are three rectangular galleries, each raised above the next. At the center of the temple stands a quincunx of towers. Unlike most Angkorian temples, Angkor Wat is oriented to the west; scholars are divided as to the significance of this. The temple is admired for the grandeur and harmony of the architecture, its extensive bas-reliefs, and for the numerous devatas (deity) adorning its walls.

Mehrere Bundesländer, nicht alle, veranstalten in unregelmäigen Abständen Landesgartenschauen. Im Land Brandenburg findet 2022 eine solche Schau, abgekürzt LAGA, in der Stadt Beelitz, gelegen ca. 43 km (Luftlinie) südwestlich von Berlin statt. Beelitz, gegründet vor ca. 1000 Jahren, hat zusammen mit mehreren in den letzten Jahren eingemeindeten Dörfern der Umgebung etwa 13.000 Einwohner und ist das Zentrum eines großen Spargelanbaugebiets. Spargel, vor allem der weiße, wird in Beelitz und Umgebung schon seit über 150 Jahren angebaut. Er spielt auch eine große Rolle auf der LAGA 2022 als dekoratives Element und in einer Ausstellung über den Spargelanbau. Außerdem bietet ein großes Restaurant, betrieben von einem großen Spargelhof, Spargelgerichte. Für die LAGA wurde eine wenig attraktive Festwiese, die sich zwischen der Altstadt und dem Fluss Nieplitz erstreckt, in einen großen Park umgestaltet, der den Einwohnern dauerhaft zur Verfügung stehen wird. Die beliebten und alle zwei Wochen wechselnden Blumenschauen, in denen Gärtnereibetriebe ihr Leistungsvermögen demonstrieren, finden mitten in der Altstadt, in der 800-jährigen Stadtpfarrkirche St. Marien und St. Nikolai statt, die nach der LAGA wieder als Ort für Gottesdienste genutzt werden wird.
Several federal states, not all, organise state garden shows at irregular intervals. In the state of Brandenburg, such a show, abbreviated LAGA, takes place in 2022 in the town of Beelitz, located about 43 km (as the crow flies) southwest of Berlin. Beelitz, founded about 1000 years ago, has about 13,000 inhabitants together with several villages in the surrounding area that have been incorporated in recent years, and is the centre of a large asparagus-growing area. Asparagus, especially the white variety, has been grown in Beelitz and the surrounding area for over 150 years. It also plays a major role at LAGA 2022 as a decorative element and in an exhibition about asparagus cultivation. In addition, a large restaurant, run by a large asparagus farm, offers asparagus dishes. For the LAGA, a less attractive festival meadow stretching between the old town and the Nieplitz River has been transformed into a large park that will be permanently available to residents. The popular flower shows, which change every fortnight and in which gardening companies demonstrate their capabilities, take place in the middle of the old town, in the 800-year-old St. Mary's and St. Nicholas' Town Parish Church, which will once again be used as a place for church services after the LAGA.
At peak autumn, Caddo Lake transforms into a living canvas of color and reflection. Towering bald cypress trees rise from the still waters, their textured trunks and flared bases standing like quiet sentinels of time. Draped in soft Spanish moss and surrounded by warm tones of gold, rust, and amber, the scene feels both timeless and deeply serene.
The calm surface of the water mirrors the season’s richness, creating a sense of balance between earth and reflection. This photograph captures a fleeting moment—when light, color, and stillness come together in perfect harmony—inviting the viewer to pause and experience the quiet beauty of the swamp.

Le 12 août 1793 fut créé le département de Vaucluse, constitué des districts d'Avignon et de Carpentras, mais aussi de ceux d'Apt et d'Orange, qui appartenaient aux Bouches-du-Rhône, ainsi que du canton de Sault, qui appartenait aux Basses-Alpes.
Même si Jean-Joseph Expilly note que la commune est « fertile en vin », le XVIIIe siècle marqua une mutation importante dans les cultures. De plus en plus d'habitants délaissèrent la vigne pour se consacrer à la culture de l'olivier et du mûrier. Ce qui n'empêcha point de proclamer la ban des vendanges sur tout le territoire de la commune. Un acte communal daté de 1771 décréta d'ailleurs que tout contrevenant à cette interdiction serait passible d'une amende de cinq livres.
Ce fut la famille Raspail, et plus particulièrement Eugène, qui prit sa retraite politique à Gigondas, qui relança la viticulture sur place. Au cours de l'année 1861, il fit l'acquisition du domaine des Bosquets, revalorisa les 37 hectares déjà existant, en fit planter neuf autres l'année suivante, puis 26 les années qui suivirent. Par héritage paternel, il reçut le domaine du Colombier qu'il transforma en Château Raspail tout en valorisant son vignoble.
Dès 1864, la production de ses domaines fut telle qu'il put l'expédier, par le port de Roquemaure sur le Rhône, à des négociants de Valence, Lyon, Saint-Étienne et Paris, qui la lui avait acheté sur la base de 16, 50 l'hectolitre. Des résultats assez probants pour qu'il reçut, en dépit de ses idées républicaines, et avec l'aval de Napoléon III, une prime d'honneur pour son exploitation. Fier de ses résultats, le savant vigneron put noter :
« Les vins de Gigondas doivent à leur proportion d'alcool une valeur qui les fait rechercher. Au printemps de 1865, ils étaient tous achetés quand le Languedoc se plaignait de ne pas les vendre. »
Il put alors se consacrer à ses passions qu'étaient l'archéologie, la géologie et la paléontologie. Les vins de ses vignobles se vendant de mieux en mieux, il constata :
« Toujours est-il que la localité de Gigondas jouit du privilège de produire avec une main-d'œuvre peu élevée, des vins fort apprécié par le commerce et qui le seront bien plus encore lorsque leur réputation naissante sera plus étendue. »
L'émulation qu'il parvint à susciter déboucha même sur les premières mises en bouteille. Mais l'arrivée du phylloxéra et l'anéantissement du vignoble, au début des années 1870, réduisirent à rien ces efforts.
L'appellation d'origine contrôlée gigondas est apparue à la fin des années 1960.

The dandelions have transformed the field behind our house from green grass to a blanket of bright yellow!
Rue Obscura, a 100m (-ish) street built in 1260. It was originally open to the sky but building over the years has transformed it into a tunnel.
Last bunch of this series and focus on the expression of abstractness. Have a nice week.
Just play & capture the light dance at the street in the night, and you would see all these light dancing scene transformed from vivid to subtle & then total abstract within 3 bunches.
This juvenile Red-necked Grebe is beginning to acquire its adult plumage with the neck turning to red, but it still has it's "prison plumage" as I call it, that black and white striping on it's head. This bird was the progeny of my recent adult grebe photo that I've put a link to in the comments below for comparison.

MINIMALISMO
Profesionales y aficionados del mundo de la fotografía, publican y comparten diariamente su conocimiento, -de forma generosa- en estas páginas. Así se forman y en ocasiones se transforman, criterios estéticos o técnicos, sobre cualquier especialidad que se practique, de ahí su utilidad.
Si se sintetiza lo esencial, se apuesta por la diversidad y se persevera en ese camino, se es candidato a encontrarse con el minimalismo, donde la regla a seguir es la de “menos es más”.
Fruto de ese intento son estas fotografías en B&N.
Two shots taken from a similar viewpoint, a few hours apart. What a difference the tide makes - stranded boats can sail and the view is transformed. Although I like both - it's a charming town. we enjoyed our stay there very much!
