La Batalla de Almansa se produjo durante el conflicto internacional de la Guerra de Sucesión Española el 25 de abril de 1707 en Almansa (actual provincia de Albacete, en los límites entre Valencia, Alicante y Murcia, en España). En el enfrentamiento, las tropas de Felipe de Anjou (nieto de Luis XIV de Francia), que había sido coronado como Felipe V, mandadas por el duque de Berwick, derrotaron a las del archiduque Carlos de Austria, comandadas por Henri de Massue y el Marqués das Minas. La batalla no fue decisiva para el fin del conflicto internacional, pero sí abrió las puertas hacia el Reino de Valencia. Como consecuencia de esta batalla, el Reino de Valencia fue ocupado por las tropas borbónicas (con mucha resistencia austracista) aunque los fueros quedaron abolidos, junto con los de Aragón, tras la publicación de los Decretos de Nueva Planta.
La Batalla:
Tras haberse retirado las tropas austracistas a territorios de la Corona de Aragón, las fuerzas aliadas decidieron plantar cara a las borbónicas en la población de Almansa, cerca de la frontera del Reino de Valencia.
La batalla se inició a las 15 horas del 25 de abril. Ambos ejércitos se desplegaron cara a cara a lo largo de 6,5 km. Los aliados, partidarios del Archiduque Carlos, alinearon 42 batallones de infantería, compuestos cada uno de 400 hombres, y 60 escuadrones de caballería, de 100 jinetes cada uno, mientras que los borbónicos dispusieron 50 batallones de infantería y 81 escuadrones de caballería, formando ambos ejércitos con dos líneas de profundidad. Paradójicamente, la única representación valenciana era el regimiento Valencia -luego rebautizado Jaén- de 300 hombres al mando del coronel Riera en el bando borbónico.
La batalla dio comienzo con el fuego de artillería. Las tropas aliadas, cansadas, en inferioridad numérica y mal dirigidas, rompieron la formación entre el centro y el flanco debido al empuje de la caballería borbónica. La caballería francesa provocó la retirada de las tropas aliadas en el flanco izquierdo, mientras que las tropas de la zona central acabaron por rendirse a las 17 horas.
Consecuencias:
La batalla de Almansa no fue decisiva para la guerra, pero abrió el camino para la ocupación del Reino de Valencia, aunque no significó la rendición de los austracistas del Reino. El ejército borbónico hubo de ir conquistando las poblaciones que se le resistían, como antes el austracista se había visto obligado a hacer con las fieles a Felipe V. Játiva fue la primera ciudad asediada. El 6 de junio de 1707 se rendía la ciudad, tras lo cual, el día 19, la ciudad fue incendiada por orden del rey Felipe V. Posteriormente se le cambió el nombre por el de San Felipe y se procedió a su repoblación por personas fieles a la causa borbónica (en la actualidad se conserva un cuadro de Felipe V en el Museo Municipal de Játiva colgado boca abajo desde 1940 en señal de condena por el incendio de la ciudad). Más tarde lo fueron, también con gran oposición, Alcoy, Denia y Alicante.
Sin embargo, la ocupación del Reino de Valencia continuó a pesar de la oposición austracista. El Archiduque llegó a liberar al líder austracista Joan Baptista Basset (que había sido encarcelado por sus políticas favorables al campesinado y opuestas a los privilegios nobiliarios), a fin de organizar las pocas fuerzas fieles a los austriacistas, sin conseguir frenar el avance borbónico. Tras la conquista del Reino de Valencia, tan sólo Cataluña y las Islas Baleares continuaron apoyando la causa austracista.
En la actual Comunidad Valenciana todavía pervive el dicho: «Quan el mal ve d'Almansa, a tots alcança» (Cuando el mal viene de Almansa, a todos alcanza), o «De ponent, ni vent ni gent» (De poniente, ni viento ni gente), recordando esta derrota.
Existe un álbum del grupo valenciano Al Tall titulado Quan el mal ve d'Almansa... que narra hechos significativos de este episodio de la historia valenciana. En 2007, con motivo del 300 aniversario de la batalla, se realizaron diversas actividades y manifestaciones.

You cannot visit Brugge, and return without a photo with or of a SWAN. Why Swans in Brugge?
THE LEGEND:
At the end of the 15th century, the oppressed people of Bruges rose in revolt against the unpopular Emperor Maximilian of Austria.
They captured Maximilian and imprisoned him in the Craenenburg House on the Market Square, together with his equally unpopular adviser, Pieter Lanckhals.
Lanckhals was condemned to death and Maximilian was forced to watch the execution.
The Emperor eventually escaped and later took his revenge: he decreed that ‘until the end of time’ the city should be required at its own expense to keep swans on all its lakes and canals.
And why swans? Because swans have long necks – and the Flemish for ‘long neck’ is ‘lange hals’ – or ‘lanckhals’!
And so a city legend was born…
THE FACT? More likely…
The first swans in Bruges go back to the Middle Ages.
In the early 15th century, Bruges bought the right to keep swans from the Count of Flanders.
At that time swans were a symbol of distinction.
The killing or stealing swans was forbidden.
Swans were first mentioned in the city accounts in 1403.
At that time the swans tended to stay on the vests around the city because the canals were the water highways of the city and too busy for the swans.
A Mute Swan (Cygnus olor), preening in Spring.
The mute swan is commonly associated with romance because of its stark white beauty, graceful swimming and the fact that it mates for life.
Yet there are many things most people don’t know about this swan, including that it is not native to North America and it can be one of the most aggressive waterfowl.
I chose the graphic composition, because I wanted something different. Hope you like it too.
I wish you a day full of beauty and thank you for your visit, Magda, (*_*)

For all my staring at it, this intriguing rock art looks upside-down to me, a caterpillar-type figure. It also seems to have some heavenly symbols and a small map at right.
Any insights welcome.

I am flying home tomorrow night and thought that leaving India without posting a quick Taj picture can't be right. Right? I had only a day and a half in Agra, but one day was Friday when the Taj is officially closed to public. And the next day I was too busy to go there. However we stopped to see it from across the Yamuna river a couple of times. The first night the water was really still with the gorgeous reflection of the Taj, but it was too dark already and my pictures - taken with the point & shoot camera - turned out very noisy. I'll see if they are usable when I am back home. This I took with the iPhone the next morning, but reflection was nowhere to be found. It was too windy and Yamuna river was not in the "reflective" mood. I guess I will have to come back to India again to take this perfect Taj reflection shot!
But, conveniently, it is Sunday today and my slightly over-processed Taj picture goes straight to Sliders Sunday! Not that I need any excuse to over-process, but still...it is nice to do it "legally" once in a while. HSS, everyone!
Oh, and the black & white version is in the comments.
he!
la cosa + curiosa è :
che...per amore o per passione ,gli uomini (umani) fanno le cose + stupide !?

Without doubt my favourite buses in the East Yorkshire fleet, the Plaxton President have given sterling service to East Yorkshire. Earmarked for withdrawal when the new e400mmcs arrived for the x46 service, social distancing regulations has meant every double decker is needed and so 673, alongside its sisters have had a stay in execution!

The summer sun ray
shifts through a suspicious tree.
though I walk through the valley of the shadow
It sucks the air
and looks around for me.
The grass speaks.
I hear green chanting all day.
I will fear no evil, fear no evil
The blades extend
and reach my way.
The sky breaks.
It sags and breathes upon my face.
In the presence of mine enemies, mine enemies
The world is full of enemies.
There is no safe place.
~ Anne Sexton, "Noon Walk on the Asylum Lawn"
I wanna run through your wicked garden
Heard that's the place to find you
Cause I'm alive, so alive now
I know the darkness binds you
Can you see without eyes?
Can you speak without lies?
I wanna drink from your naked fountain
I can drown your sorrows
I'm gonna burn, burn you alive now
Out of the chains that bind you
Can you see just like a child?
Can you see just what I want?
Can I bring you back to life?
Are you scared of life?
Burn, burn, burn
Burn your wicked garden down
Burn, burn, burn
Burn your wicked garden to the ground
Can you feel pain inside?
Can you love, can you cry?

The most puicturesque of La Hague's ports is without doubt Port Racine at Saint-Germain-des-Vaux, which is reputed to be the smallest port in France with an area of just 800 m2 and an entrance, between two jetties, just eleven metres wide.
Port Racine bears the name of one of the last pirates that prevailed under Napoleon, Captain François-Médard Racine (1774-1817). In early 1813, he chose this place as a strategic refuge. He built a pier to protect his ships from bad weather and to avoid detection by enemy ships while being able to quickly launch his schooner the the “Embuscade” (the “Ambush”) to attack ships rounding Cape La Hague or sailing to the Channel Islands. After the death of our hero, the wooden defences of Port Racine, although long maintained by fishermen, gradually disintegrated. After several petitions a stone port was finally constructed between 1870 and 1886.
Port Racine shelters the modest boats of local fishermen and fishing trip boats which are tied to ropes that run from one pier to another from a wooden bollard then passed through dike rings before all being tied onto the same post.
Port Racine is first and foremost a harbour for fishermen, with holidaymakers and pleasure craft coming along in summertime, when swimmers sunbathe on the rocks while walkers and hikers take a well-earned rest to contemplate the tiny port.
"I can be your china doll
If you want to see me fall.
Boy, you're so dope,
Your love is deadly.
Tell me life is beautiful,
They all think I have it all.
I'm nothing without you.
All my dreams and all the lights mean
Nothing without you."
