Still life with Feather

Couldn't find much inspiration for a photo yesterday, but I eventually found this small feather (about 60cm long) in my garden. Black and white seemed the way to go!

Best viewed large. Thanks for looking ;-)

Dès le XIᵉ siècle, le vallon de Bellefontaine accueille une vie monastique érémitique, bientôt suivie par l'installation d'une communauté bénédictine. Les « moines noirs » y demeurent jusqu'au milieu du XVIIᵉ siècle, avant de céder la place aux cisterciens feuillants. Dispersés par la Révolution française, ces derniers voient leur monastère gravement endommagé durant les Guerres de Vendée.

En 1816, les trappistes réinvestissent les lieux et entreprennent la reconstruction complète de l'abbaye sur son emplacement d'origine. Les « moines blancs » y vivent pendant plus de deux siècles. Faute de vocations suffisantes, ils quittent Bellefontaine en 2025.

Le 11 juillet 2026, douze moines bénédictins issus de l'abbaye Sainte-Madeleine du Barroux, en Provence, s'installent à Bellefontaine. Ils assurent désormais la continuité de la vie monastique et de la prière dans ce lieu où des communautés religieuses se succèdent depuis près de mille ans.

Summoning my courage, I take a deep breath as I prepare to enter the abyss. Horrific sounds of tortured souls emanate from from the depths, or is it my heightened imagination playing tricks on my mind? What is in store for me as I enter this dark realm?

Entry into the Underworld

Scott Holcomb has posted:

After decades of searching I have at last discovered the fabled entrance into the underworld. I feel an overwhelming urge to discover the secrets that lie in the abyss. As I write this account in my journal there is anticipation, and yes, the expectation that I may never again see the light of day. Let it be known that I have lived a full life before I take the plunge into the depths of darkness. With good fortune and provenance from above I may some day surface to tell the world of my discoveries.
With wavering courage and feelings of trepidation, I forge ahead.

Study of linden in bloom

nobody@ipernity.com (m̌ ḫ) — Sat, 25 Jul 2026 06:01:52 +0000

In Slovakia, the linden (usually Tilia cordata, the small‑leaved lime) is not just a common tree, but a national emblem and an ancient Slavic symbol. It has been associated with peace, unity, love, and protection, and was venerated long before modern national awareness.

Historically, communities gathered under large linden trees for meetings, celebrations and even legal proceedings, and Slovak Romantic writers used the linden as a symbol of homeland and destiny. The tree’s heart‑shaped leaves and fragrant blossoms appear in Slovak art, literature and design as motifs of identity and endurance.

Practically, linden blossom is still used in herbal teas for calming and medicinal purposes, and its pollen contributes to distinctive local honey. In many towns and villages in Slovakia and neighbouring Czech lands, linden trees are planted near churches, in central squares, or along streets, becoming natural gathering points and living monuments of cultural heritage.
