Bulgaria, Plovdiv, Maritsa River and Fair Bridge

Plovdiv, formerly Philippopolis, is the second largest city in Bulgaria. It is located in the southern part of the country, in the central part of the fertile Upper Thracian Lowland, on the Maritsa River.
The first settlements within the borders of modern Plovdiv date back to the Neolithic era and are dated around 6,000 BC.
Around 1200 BC, a Thracian settlement called Eumolpia was located here.
In 342 BC, the city was conquered by Philip II of Macedon, who named it Philippopolis in his honor.

HBM! The 20 hectare Horsbere Brook flood storage area was created in 2010 following a series of flash floods that affected more than 300 homes in Gloucester. The £1.5m project involved creating a huge ‘depression’ capable of accommodating the equivalent of 70 Olympic swimming pools full of water. If there’s torrential rain the water is now diverted into the depression, and it is then slowly released later.

As well as reducing the risk of flooding the storage area was also designed to be a natural looking ‘wetland’ landscape, and, over the last few years, it has become a delightful local nature reserve – attracting many rare birds to the area. Otters have also been spotted in the brook.

Tits, kingfishers, egrets, heron, swans and a wide range of both rare and more common birds are now regularly spotted here.

LE PARC DU MOULI LIRON, PARAY LE MONIAL, BOURGOGNE, FRANCE.

Situé entre le canal du Centre et la Bourbince, le parc tient son nom d'un ancien moulin connu depuis le 15ème siècle. Près de 850 arbres et conifères jalonnent la promenade d'un kilomètre. Au 18ème siècle, il devient une ''hostellerie'' renommée détruite lors des travaux de construction du canal du Centre. Ce parc de 15 hectares a été créé pour la venue du Pape Jean-Paul II en 1986.

Fenced In.

Belle journée mes amis(ies). Merci pour vos visites et vos commentaires♫

Photinia, ou les Photinies, est un genre de plantes à fleurs de la famille des Rosacées. Il comprend de 40 à 60 espèces d'arbustes originaires de souche de l'Himalaya et d'Asie.

Les Photinia ont été hybridées par l'homme. Ces photinias sont alors utilisés comme arbustes d'ornement seuls ou en massifs ou en haie simple ou mixte (souvent en mélange avec le laurier du Caucase). L'intérêt est alors dans son caractère bicolore quasiment permanent : les jeunes feuilles sont en effet rouges et virent au vert foncé en vieillissant.

Il fleurit d'avril à mai avec de petites fleurs groupées en bout de branches, odeur un peu forte et âcre, hauteur moyenne 1,50 m.

Le Photinia apprécie le soleil et est résistant au froid jusqu'à -15 °C
