À certains endroits spécifiques, des plaques à vents plus molles d'une dizaine de cm d'épaisseur se détachent sous le passage des skis.
Je me sentais claquer au vent comme une mâture. Creuse par le milieu, les yeux brûlés, les lèvres craquantes, ma peau se dessechait jusqu'à ne plus être mienne. Par elle, auparavant je déchiffrais l'écriture du monde. Il y traçait les signes de sa tendresse ou de sa colère, la réchauffant de son souffle d'été ou la mordant de ses dents de givre mais si longuement frotté du vent, secoué depuis plus d'une heure, étourdi de résistance, je perdai conscience du dessin que traçait mon corps. Comme le galet verni par les marées, j'étais poli par le vent, usé jusqu'à l'âme. J'étais un peu de cette force selon laquelle je flottais, puis elle enfin, confondant les battements de mon sang et les grands coups sonores de ce coeur partout présent de la nature. Le vent me façonnait à l'image de l'ardente nudité qui m'entourait. Et sa fugitive étreinte me donnait, peirre parmi les pierres, la solitude d'une colonne ou d'un olivier dans le ciel d'été.
Ce bain violent de soleil et de vent épuisait toutes mes forces de vie. A peine en moi ce battement d'ailes qui affleure, cette vie qui se plaint, cette faible révolte de l'esprit. Bientôt répandu aux quatre coins du monde, oublieux, oublié de moi-même, je suis ce vent et dans le vent, ces colonnes et ces arc, ces dalles qui sentent chaud et ces montagnes pâles autour de la ville déserte. Et jamais je n'ai senti, si avant, à la fois mon détachement de moi-même et ma présence au monde.

From the National Building Museum's website:
"An ingenious system of windows, vents, and open archways allows the Great Hall to function as a reservoir of light and air. The impressive Italian Renaissance design, with a central fountain and eight colossal Corinthian columns - among the tallest interior columns in the world - has also made the Great Hall a sought-after spot for gala events, including many Presidential Inaugural Balls, from 1885 to the present day. The Great Hall is 316 feet by 116 feet, and 159 feet tall (approximately 15 stories) at its highest point. The Corinthian columns are among the tallest in the world at 75 feet high, 8 feet in diameter, 25 feet in circumference, each built of 70, 000 bricks [with a faux-marble veneer]." Note the tiny white busts in the niches all the way up by the ceiling.
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. It 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. It has also established itself in parts of the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, the United States and Argentina.

While visiting an artist friend in Berkeley who I had not seen in 20 years (can you image?) I shot this roof vent on her neighbor's house through her kitchen window.
The little ball valve fuel tank vent installed on the rear off side strut using 10mm braided hose from the tank, a 10mm to 6mm adapter, 6mm hose stretched over the 7mm connection on the valve and then out through a grommet.
It would have been a lot easier if the valve used a standard size connector.
This rear quarter will be panelled in once IVA is out of the way so all the pipework will be hidden
Num calor terrÃvel...me sinto derretendo.
Juro que continuo até as orelhas de trabalho.
E nem consigo estudar para o mestrado...MELECA!!
Morrendo de saudades.

Decidere di trascorrere del tempo sulla Signora del Vento ha un significato profondo: aiuta ad apprezzare l'impegno costante nel voler mantenere un qualcosa di unico e prezioso per la nostra storia e la nostra cultura, fa riscoprire la fiducia negli altri e comprendere il valore del loro lavoro, e anche se ogni azione può sembrare volta ad un obiettivo individuale, l'altruismo e lo spirito di squadra sono la forza che aggrega velisti ed equipaggio.
Un’esperienza emozionante, un insegnamento di vita che fa amare ancora di più una ricchezza comune: il mare e la sua vita.
