I just love the simplicity of this wee Norwegian window

#WindowsOnWednesday
#photography

The image shows a close-up of a window set in a red wooden wall. The window has a white frame and is divided into six panes. One of the window's blue shutters is open, revealing the interior. The contrast between the red wall, blue shutter, and white window frame creates a striking visual effect.

Hiking in the forest, there is a little moss this time of year! I like the ridiculous complexity of this downed, overgrown tree.

Cypress in Autumn fog
#photography #NaturePhotography #landscape

A bald cypress tree cluster rises from calm, mist-covered water. The tree's reflection is slightly obscured by ripples and a low fog that drifts across a forested shoreline. The soft morning light brings out hues of green, blue and brown, reflected in the lake water.

'Piering Inland'

Looking into Whitby Harbour from its West Pier.

Under the weather so a quiet one from Sparty today. 🤧🤒💊

The photograph captures a wide-angle view of the Whitby Harbour entrance in North Yorkshire, England. The scene is dominated by a long, curving pier, a concrete structure that stretches out into the North Sea, providing a breakwater for the town’s harbour. The pier is constructed from large stone blocks and features a walkway supported by a series of repeating, arched pillars along its seaward side.
At the far end of the pier stands a smaller, modern-looking lighthouse. This structure has a distinct red, wooden framework on legs, which supports a beacon. A person can be seen near the base of this lighthouse, providing a sense of scale to the pier's size. Further along the pier towards the foreground, a much taller, older stone lighthouse is visible. This is the original lighthouse, a Grade II listed building featuring a stone column tower with an octagonal lantern and a lead dome.
The body of water in the foreground and between the piers is the River Esk estuary as it meets the sea. The water is a dark, choppy blue-gray, with white foam visible from the waves hitting the pier. A small boat with a red-orange hull is pictured in the water to the right, heading inland.
In the background, a dramatic, dark-toned cliff face rises steeply from the water. On top of this cliff, several prominent landmarks are clearly visible. These include the ruins of Whitby Abbey and the tower of St. Mary's Church, which are popular tourist destinations. The sky above is a blend of pinky-purple and grey clouds, with pockets of brighter, diffused light filtering through, indicative of an autumnal early evening setting. The overall atmosphere is serene, yet powerful, capturing the maritime heritage of the historic seaside town.

I chased the setting of the harvest super moon this morning in my neighborhood. The sun was rising behind me causing my long shadow in the field.

A moody coastal scene from Reynisfjara in southern Iceland on a rainy day. The tide has receded, exposing wide stretches of dark volcanic sand that glisten faintly under the misty light. In the middle distance, a solitary rock formation rises from the shoreline, its rugged surface softened by the haze. Gentle waves curl along the beach, their white foam tracing delicate lines against the black sand. In the background, distant cliffs and headlands fade into the fog, giving the entire landscape a quiet, almost otherworldly atmosphere.

The image is a black and white, long-exposure photograph of a small waterfall. The water appears smooth and blurred due to the long exposure. The surrounding landscape consists of rocky terrain with patches of vegetation.

From a long ago road trip to Alaska, here is Denali, July 1988. It had been 9 days since the mountain had been visible - we were fortunate to see it that day.

Il sort aujourd'hui.

Je posterai sous ce tweet les très nombreuses critiques élogieuses qui ne manqueront pas de fleurir dans la presse.

Ainsi que les modestes événements qui accompagneront la promotion de ce livre.

Tout RT ou intérêt porté à mon travail sera sincèrement apprécié.

En décembre 2018, j'ai assisté au procès de Denis Mannechez, accusé de l'assassinat de sa fille, Virginie.

Deux frères racontent leur calvaire, une soeur son inceste. Ils demandent : pourquoi la justice les a abandonnés ?

Le 1er octobre 2025, je publie : "Qui a tué Virginie ?" aux éditions Globe.

Couverture d'un livre intitulé "Qui a tué Virginie ?" de Julien Mucchielli, publié aux éditions Globe et qui paraît le 1er octobre.

Gisors, 7 octobre 2014. Un homme tue deux personnes sur un parking. L’une des victimes est la fille de l’assassin. Virginie Mannechez se savait traquée : elle venait enfin de quitter Denis, son père devenu son compagnon et le père de son enfant, après des années d’emprise incestueuse. Il ne l’a pas supporté. Pourtant, dès 2002, la sœur cadette de Virginie avait dénoncé les viols et violences que subissait la fratrie. Mais au bout d’une longue procédure, Denis Mannechez était sorti libre de poursuivre sa relation avec sa fille. Avec la bénédiction de la justice.
En convoquant les témoignages recueillis auprès de Tony, Dimitri et Samantha, les frères et sœur de Virginie, ses échanges avec les avocats, les magistrats et les gendarmes impliqués, Julien Mucchielli apporte un éclairage inédit sur cette tragédie. Avec la minutie du chroniqueur et l’ampleur du romancier, il décortique la faillite d’un système judiciaire qui ne parvient pas à enrayer les mécanismes d’emprise à l’œuvre dans les cas d’inceste.

Symmetrical wide angle view of the entrance to a long tunnel with a semi-circle shape, made with minimalistic blocs of white concrete and bathed under electric blue light at the Uribarri metro station in Bilbao. A person is walking away towards the end of the tunnel on one of the two conveyor belts installed under the tunnel. The architect of this brutalist metroc architecture is Norman Foster.
