"We should show our esteem for the relics of the saints by venerating them and praying to the saints. We should praise visits to the station churches, pilgrimages, indulgences, jubilee, crusade, and the lighting of candles in churges"
- St. Ignatius of Loyola

hay que aprovechar el breve instante en el que abren las alas tras posarse, lo hacen unas dos o tres veces para después dejarlas cerradas.

Elliptical galaxy Messier 87 (M87) is a huge galaxy in the constellation Virgo. It is home to several trillion stars and about 15,000 globular clusters, pretty hard to imagine. It is also home to a supermassive black hole that was recently imagined by the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration. The inset image shows the stream of plasma being ejected from that same black hole.

Dans la constellation de la Vierge (Virgo) à 1 400 a.l. de la Terre, la nébuleuse planétaire ESO 577-24 représente la phase finale de son étoile centrale, une géante rouge ayant éjecté ses couches externes. Comme son noyau ne peut plus supporter la fusion nucléaire, celle-ci se contracte dans un volume comparable à celui de la Terre. Extrêmement chaud, il émet donc des ultraviolets ionisant les matériaux qui l’entourent et les font briller. Dans cette agonie, les matériaux éjectés s'éloignent de l'étoile centrale, qui se refroidira progressivement et entraînera une diminution de leur ionisation, leur luminosité disparaissant
lentement jusqu'à ce qu'elle disparaisse (cf. site ESO).

Thank you very much for the interesting comments on the last picture ! My friend was happy to read them and I think he wants to take pictures even more now. Thank you for your great help.

La fourmi sera chassée de cette plante par la demoiselle.
Beautiful Demoiselle
Calopteryx virgo
Linnaeus, 1758
Beautiful Demoiselle photographed near a slowly flowing stream. I took this photograph hand-held with my Sigma 105 mm f/2.8. I approached this damselfly very carefully, because they are quit skittish and escape when they detect any motion.

It's Virgo season! My son has a birthday on September 13, and then mine is on September 15. I saw this astrological wall decoration at a Mexican restaurant in the Pilsen area of Chicago last summer.
Les Caloptéryx mesurent environ 60 à 70 mm, ce qui en fait nos plus grandes demoiselles en France. De la famille des Calopterygidae, ces libellules ont la particularité d'avoir des couleurs brillantes métalliques.
Cette mignonne petite femelle, pourtant si craintive à mon approche m'a littéralement prise d'assaut ! Elle bondissait sur mon objectif, revenait sur sa fleur, rebondissait, retournait là en face, puis revenait à la charge... Jusqu'à ce que je m'en aille... Elle a gagné ;-) !
Challenge : Zodiac : Virgo: This challenge is to create a page showing the sign Virgo.
Art work by me. Challenge ends : 21st September 2024 .
I end up doing two versions of Virgoxx

25/06/2023, at anchor, Longyearbyen, Svalbard, Spitsbergen, Norway.
The former Sjöfartsverkets (Swedish Maritime Administration) buoy/lighthouse tender 'Fyrbyggaren', which was converted in 2021 to a passenger 'expedition' vessel for use in the Arctic region.
Owned and operated by Virgo Rederiaktiebolaget of Partille, Sweden.
Built in 1976, and commissioned on 14/12/1976 by Sigbjørn Iversen Mekaniske Verksted AS, Flekkefjord , Norway (40)
655 g.t. & zero dwt.
Length x breadth x depth =
41,81m x 10,19m x 3,98m., as
'Fyrbyggaren' to 2021, and
'Virgo' since.
**16/06/2022, vessel ran aground in Fuglefjorden, north-western Spitzbergen, Svalbard, Norwegian archipelago between Norway and North Pole, Arctic, at around 10:00 UTC on June 14th.
There were 13 passengers and seven crew on board.
The ship’s hull was reported as breached in the area of its fuel tank and an oil leak was reported.
As of 15:00 UTC June 14th the vessel appeared to have been refloated and to be manoeuvring at very slow speed near the grounding site, with a tug and auxiliary vessel nearby.
Subsequently repaired and returned to service.**
