Avec Christine, on a fêté nos 40 ans d'amitié en faisant en Octobre un voyage de 15 jours en Sicile. 

A Palerme (Palermo), le Palazzo dei Normanni.  Dans les escaliers au marbre rouge rempli de fossiles d'ammonites, un blason en marbre, , une charrette typique de la Sicile et une épigraphe en latin, grec et arabe.

In honor of me officially ripping off the bar of the 500+ hours on Subnautica and Subnautica Below Zero, here's some of my favorite shots from the first one including my favorite of them all : Opera Reaper Leviathan !!

It's the last one, it's amazing, love it.

I'm so obsesced with that game I know the spawning point of every leviathan by heart and I push the Reaper from the crash site to charge at me in the red kelp JUST so I can have his glorious ass hanging around my surface sea base !

OBSESCED I SAY !

« J’ai fait quelques images polaroid du travail de sculpture de Ghita , je t’en montrerai bientôt quelques autres… Il faut que tu saches qu’il y a là quelque chose en devenir » suite… il y a de la mue de saurien, de l’exosquelette, la forme même de l’ossature de métal s’est faite autour du corps recroquevillé de Ghita, sorte d’enveloppe momifiée parée de ces silex boudés par les paléontologues.

The dino benches are super cute. The angle is a little weird, though. And there's other seating if you're scared of dinosaurs. Looks like there's non-dino flat benches in the back on the right and a raised stone bench / retaining wall area on the left with grass and trees. I'm a little worried that there's no arm rests on any of the seating areas, though. It might be difficult for people with mobility issues to stand back up. Super cute for in front of a dino museum, though! And I totally want one.

Marseille, début janvier. Le Palais Longchamp abrite deux mus��es, dont celui-ci, le Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle. Le crâne d'un Mammouth laineux, le squelette d'un Mosasaure Prognathodon, celui d'une Dorade Coryphène (ou Mahi-mahi), ceux d'un Babouin Hamadryas et de son petit, une diorite orbiculaire de Corse à la belle couleur violacée et les peintures d'animaux préhistoriques.

SO MANY REACTIONS OF MY FIRST POST, THANKS EVERYONE !

After reading all the ansers, I get the idea to publish every one of your favorites. At least, I'll try.

FIRST : TRICERATOPS. I saw this skeleton during my visit to Canadian Museum of Nature in 2013. It was my first time in front of a ''complete'' dinosaur specimen. Before that, I have only seen some eggs, T. rex skull, etc. (all false probably...). I was amazed by this museum and their collections. I really recommand ! I'll try to share more from this visit and other times (yeah, I have been there several times and I don't get tired of it).

MY QUESTION TO YOU : What's your favorite museum ?

Very interesting advancement note that I’m obviously not the first to comment on but

The wording is ‘rescue’ a Ghast from the Nether, and bring it ‘safely home’. Which has always been the idea of, are Ghasts from the Nether? Was the Nether always like this; and are they so miserable because they were forced to adapt to a ruined fiery hellscape? Well, now we know that presumably when young especially, they’re liable to dry out. That if they’re rescued from being dried, they thrive in a more earthly environment. That they grow up happy when doing so. I do think that Ghasts may be from the Nether, but not from the current Nether. A much colder one, maybe more like the Overworld, maybe not. Probably a cavernous fungal paradise if I had to guess. But now they live in a world that’s been ruined by something, and turned into the human embodiment of hell, forced to spit fire just to no longer be filled with it when they’d much rather eat snow to cool down. Is it any wonder they cry?
