"French writer Roger Caillois was surprised by the Second World War in Argentina and was forced to stay there. He visited Patagonia in 1942 where he began to develop a passion for the mineral world. In 1970 he wrote The Writing of Stones, a philosophical commentary on his own collection of stones.
Throughout his life he maintained a correspondence with Argentine writer Victoria Ocampo."

Happy Autumn Solstice - 22SEP22

Many are hoping still for some pleasant weather but the solstice will do solstice. Some worship it, some dread it. Seasons change.

Now this here... It is about to be perfectly aligned, exactly.
Just like this symmetrical date. Happy Solstice Autumn 22.
22AUT22

This from a few weeks earlier, in the rain. Look straight up the middle; that is where the sun would be rising if you could see it!

Well, autumn lovers are in luck, as your solstice is arriving on Platform B.

Meanwhile, if you'll excuse me, I must be on my way....

Environnement : halte aux cairns, ces petits tas de cailloux qui dégradent les milieux naturels

Cela semble anodin, pourtant les cairns, ces empilements de cailloux sur le bord des sentiers, sont en train de devenir une véritable mode. Au point de provoquer de réels dommages aux écosystèmes.
