Vista de la localidad ribereña desde la ladera del cerro de San Jorge, completamente horadado de bodegas subterráneas en las que se envejece el mejor vino de la Ribera del Duero.
A la izquierda de la imagen tenemos una zarcera, que es un hueco que va desde la superficie hasta la bodega con el fin de ventilar y regular la temperatura.
Estos respiraderos, suelen estar protegidos por conos de piedra que sobresalen del suelo llegando en la mayoría de los casos a sobrepasar los dos metros de altura. Así se evita también la caída de tierra vegetal y de personas.
View of the village from the slope of the San Jorge hill, completely filled in with underground cellars in which the best wine of the Ribera del Duero is aged.
To the left of the image we have a "zarcera", which is a hole that goes from the surface to the cellar in order to ventilate and regulate the temperature.
These vents are usually protected by stone cones that protrude from the ground, in most cases exceeding two meters in height. This also prevents the fall of topsoil and people.

Ce moulin à vent, construit entre 1719-1721, est l’un des plus anciens du Québec.
Il a été construit par les Sulpiciens, communément appelés les seigneurs de l’Île de Montréal, qui l’ont fait ériger par le maître maçon Deguire afin de remplacer le premier moulin qui avait été la proie de la crue des eaux. L’objectif du moulin était non seulement de moudre les grains apportés par les colons, mais aussi de servir comme forteresse en cas d’attaques.
Le moulin à vent est un actif exceptionnel du Vieux-Pointe-aux-Trembles. Ce bien culturel a le statut de bien archéologique classé depuis 1983 par le ministère de la Culture et des Communications du Québec.
I finally got a presentable photo of one of the Red-vented Bulbuls that lives in the Heights earlier this week. I know they are introduced and have been told that they are an invasive species but it was still neat to see this bird. It would be neat to go to India to see one in its native habitat but Houston will have to do for now.

Un vent blau
que recorda la platja
dels dies d'hivern.
Dic hivern pensant
en la neu blanca
que et cobrirà.
I desprès et
tornaràs gel
sense tremolar.
Tot és aquí:
El blanc, el blau
l'estiu, l'hivern...
Només cal saber
pensar-ho i veure-ho.

Un vent blau
que fa pensar a la plaja
de jorns d'ivèrn.
Disi de pensada d'ivèrn
de la nèu blanca
que vos cobrirà.
E puèi
o faràs
transformar en glaç
sens tremolar.
Tot es aquí:
Lo blanc, lo blau
l'estiu, l'ivèrn...
Cal pas que saber
per i pensar e lo veire.

Un vent en el no-res
deixa caure vels d'ombra.
L'aire vola, feixuc,
enmig de les valls.
M'estimo més recordar
que tenir memòria.
OC
Un vent dins lo vuèg
Daissa tombar de vels d'ombra.
L'aire vòla, pesuc,
al mitan de las valadas.
Preferissi me sovenir.
aver de memòria.
Era spuntato un po' di sole. Così si decise di fare la gita. Io, che sono molto ottimista ( e molto incosciente ), ho subito tolto dallo zaino mantella, pile, copri zaino e copri pantaloni....
Presto si profilarono all'orizzonte nuvole scure.... E poi una forte pioggia. Le previsioni erano giuste. Per fortuna non avevo tolto il mio ombrellino arancione, ma c'era anche un forte vento.
Abbiamo mangiato un panino sotto alla pioggia perché, dalle 5 di mattina, avevamo fame e non c'erano ripari...
Comunque ero contenta, con pantaloni e scarponi zuppi, perché nel frattempo i sentieri erano diventati un fiume di fango.
Tornati, dopo ore di cammino tra pioggia e vento, il tempo si è nuovamente ristabilito.
Ho visitato il paesino di Pietraporzio , ( 70 abitanti), che ha ancora un fascino antico, di altri tempi. Sentivo il profumo della terra bagnata, lo scrosciare dell'acqua dei torrenti e delle numerose fontane .. E tutto mi sapeva di miracolo tanto era bello

Sir Eduardo Paolozzi (1924-2005) was a Scottish artist who contributed numerous works of art to the London streetscape. This is a Grade II listed ventilation shaft for an underground car park.
Happy Bench Monday!
Vixen Geyser’s vent is dry after an eruption on June 22, 2020 in the Back Basin at Norris Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. This little geyser is one of my favorites when in an active series.

I've been MIA for the past 5 or 6 months, but hopefully I'll be making somewhat of a return here in the near future. Work has been crazy, and life has definitely changed having a little one.
I'm really trying to figure out making some time though for photography so I can maintain my sanity.
The Steely-vented Hummingbird (Saucerottia saucerottei) is a dazzling emblem of Colombia’s vibrant biodiversity, and this particular image was captured at La Minga Ecolodge, nestled in the foothills near Cali, Colombia. This male was perched on a slender branch, displaying its radiant metallic green plumage that shimmered in the soft natural light. The delicate contrast between the bird’s vivid colors and the muted greens of the background highlights its beauty while maintaining a sense of harmony with its forested surroundings.
To achieve this shot, I used a Canon R5 and a 100-500mm lens at 500mm, relying on the camera’s advanced stabilization to maintain sharpness at a slow shutter speed of 1/90 second. ISO 400 was selected to balance clarity and light sensitivity, ensuring a virtually noise-free result while preserving intricate feather details. The narrow aperture provided just enough depth to isolate the bird from its lush environment. This moment, shared with birding guide Asherita Viajera, underscores the importance of patience and preparation in wildlife photography. Capturing this fleeting yet perfect pose was a rewarding reminder of why I pursue this craft.

Steam rises from a water filled vent at Seltúnshverir on the Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland. This thermal area lies just off the road to Krýsuvík at Seltún. This solfatara field contains fumaroles, hot springs, mud pools and steaming ground. Fumaroles are the dominate thermal feature and deposit sulfur and sulphates on the ground near the vents. Fumaroles whose steam is rich in sulpur are called solfataras. The main sulphur aree is a fumarole field that lies southwest of the boardwalk at Seltún but sulphur and sulphates are found in at least small amounts around most of the steam vents, mud pools and acidic hot springs. Yellow patches on the ground were visible to us as we strolled along the boardwalk.
Seltún is part of the large Krýsuvík Geothermal field which lies on one of the NE-SW trending volcanic systems that cross the Reykjanes Peninsula. in Iceland. The volcanic zones lie in the middle of the fissure zone on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge which traverses Iceland and are visible along the south of Reykjanes in the middle of the fissure zone on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge which traverses Iceland and is visible along the south of Reykjanes.
In the mid-20th century there were plans to develop the geothermal field for utilisation, including power production, and Seltún then became one of the main drilling targets. There are old drill pads to be seen near the path along the creek. According to the Iceland Geosurvey (ISOR) one of the "boreholes started erupting intermittently in the winter of 2010". They reported that an interval of a few days between the eruptions. We found the spot but on two different visits to the field I saw no sign of geyser activity. ISOR also reports "another old borehole blew up in 1999 forming a crater with a diameter of about 30 m, now filled by mud except where a flow of steam keeps boiling pits open". That unexpected explosion in 1999 reportly caused the geothermal project to be halted. The springs have been preserved due to the lack of drilling and geothermal exploitation.
Temperatures are over 200 degrees C just below the surface. Geologist from the Iceland Geosurvey believe "the water of the pools is surface water heated by steam from a boiling geothermal reservoir. Accompanying gases such as hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide acidify the water and alter the rock to clay. Only the uppermost 300 m of the reservoir at Seltún is boiling, i.e., follows the boiling curve in accordance with increasing pressure. Below this depth, a temperature inversion occurs, indicating that the boiling section is fed laterally from an upflow some distance away.”

The red-vented bulbul (Pycnonotus cafer) is a member of the bulbul family of passerines. It is resident breeder across the Indian subcontinent, including Sri Lanka extending east to Burma and parts of Tibet. The red-vented bulbul is easily identified by its short crest giving the head a squarish appearance. The body is dark brown with a scaly pattern while the head is darker or black. The rump is white while the vent is red. The black tail is tipped in white.
The yellow-vented green pigeon is a species of bird in the family Columbidae. It is found in Laos, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Ti manderò un bacio
con il vento
e so che lo sentirai,
ti volterai senza vedermi,
ma io sarò lì.....
( Pablo Neruda )
Narcisi a Pian della Cavalla , Liguria
With the wind...
I will send you a kiss
with the wind
And I know you will feel it,
you will turn without seeing me,
but I will be there.....

We are blessed with having over 50 species of bird in and around our small garden. Over 100 species of butterfly also frequent our flowering plants and trees. It provides us with many hours of simple pleasure in watching nature enjoy the small oasis we have created over the past six years.
Valencia, Negros Island, Philippines
Clicked near the parking area of the Anantha Lake Temple near Kumbla in Manjeswaram taluk of Kasaragod District of Kerala. This bird has been introduced in many other parts of the world and has established itself in the wild on several Pacific islands including Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and Hawaii. This is the nominate race 'cafer' that is found in Peninsular India.
