[Having returned from my two-week photo trip in Saintonge, I resume uploading the rest of my selected photos from 2020 (10 per day, usually in the morning CET), as well as a selection of my current, 2021 photos (usually 3 or 4 per day, in the evening CET).]
The Gers is a small part of the region of Aquitaine, which covers most of southwestern France. On July 2020, we rented a house for three weeks in the Gers area, and commencing today, I will upload a selection of the photographs I took while we were there. I hope you will enjoy them!
As usual, I will caption more specifically in bold type below whenever necessary.
The equally small (but much older: this one if from the mid-1000s, one of the oldest in all of Gascogne!) Romanesque church in the village of Pardailhan (also spelled Pardeilhan) also features a north-facing caquetoire, as the one shown and explained in the previous photo. However, this one was obviously designed from the start as part of the church.
Visiting its young sisters at King Street Depot tonight is Mercedes Citaro artic 11036 (AN02 EDN).
This one is now privately owned, and was latterly stored in the Tayside area. It was new to Aircoach in 2004 for a Dublin Airport P&R contract as 04-D-62404 and then came to the UK for First Scotland East in 2012 to become its SN04 XYA but delays in getting it certified saw it ultimately move on without being used and was with First Kernow for use on the Eden Project prior to be withdrawn in 2020. It retains its Kernow Eden registration AN02 EDN.
Seen here at King Street Depot with natives and other visitors.

While visiting with my friends, Phyllis and Melissa, Melissa said see that hawk out in the field in the tree.. I had trouble finding it since is was a really long way off.. I just happened to have the Nikon Bridge Camera with me so I wanted to try to get a shot of it... It isn't as clear as I would like but under the circumstances I'm just happy to get it at all...

The Yellow-billed Stork is a migratory bird and is usually seen in Kenya when it stops over during it's annual trek from north to south to get away from the winter season.
This lovely Yellow-billed Stork was photographed sitting on a tree stump on the Mara River in Maasai Mara, Kenya.

Ħaġar Qim is a megalithic temple complex found on the Mediterranean island of Malta, dating from the Ġgantija phase (3600-3200 BC). The Megalithic Temples of Malta are among the most ancient religious sites on Earth, described by the World Heritage Sites committee as "unique architectural masterpieces." In 1992 UNESCO recognized Ħaġar Qim and four other Maltese megalithic structures as World Heritage Sites. V. Gordon Childe, Professor of Prehistoric European Archeology and director of the Institute of Archaeology in the University of London from 1946-1957 visited Ħaġar Qim. He wrote, "I have been visiting the prehistoric ruins all round the Mediterranean, from Mesopotamia to Egypt, Greece and Switzerland, but I have nowhere seen a place as old as this one."
Ħaġar Qim's builders used globigerina limestone in the temple's construction. As a result of this, the temple has suffered from severe weathering and surface flaking over the millennia. In 2009 work was completed on a protective tent.
