Spirit Launch by NASA on The Commons

Spirit Launch

Description: A trail of smoke is all that identifies the Delta II rocket with the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit aboard as it hurtles into space. Liftoff occurred on time at 1:58 p.m. EDT June 10, 2003, from Launch Complex 17-A, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Spirit was the first of two rovers launched to Mars in the summer of 2003. Spirit and its twin, Opportunity, landed on opposite sides of the planet in January 2004. Spirit's destination was Gusev Crater, which appears to have been a crater lake.

ΕΥΞΕΙΝΟΣ ΠΟΝΤΟΣ — ПОНТ ЭВКСИНСКИЙ

EUXEINOS PONTOS — THE EUXINE SEA

Керчь. Карантинная бухта. Метрах в 150 от берега — скалы, силуэтами напоминающие фигуры заколдованных зверей. И старое доброе Чёрное море, которое древнегреческие мореплаватели сначала назвали Понтом Аксинским (άξενος πόντος — негостеприимное море), затем переименовали в Понт Эвкскинский (εύξεινοσ πόντοσ — море гостеприимное).

Kerch (Crimea). Cape Karantinniy. About 150 meters off the coast stand several rocks whose silhouettes resemble some enchanted beasts. And that good old Black Sea which ancient Greek sailors first labeled Axenos Pontos (άξενος πόντος—axine/inhospitable sea), but later changed their minds and renamed it Euxeinos Pontos (εύξεινοσ πόντος—euxine/hospitable sea).

Peinture murale "Bruma" par l'artiste vénézuélienne Daniela Guerreiro au 89 Rue Ferdinand Buisson à Boulogne-sur-Mer.

Daniela Guerreiro dévoile une fresque murale qui se présente comme une invitation discrète et puissante : ouvrir son esprit et s'aventurer vers l'inconnu. Son œuvre propose une scène quelque peu introspective : une jeune femme scrute à travers les stores d'un appartement sombre, éclairée seulement par un mince faisceau de lumière.

Sa fresque évoque l'intimité, la vulnérabilité et le courage. « Il s'agit de cet espace privé en nous », dit-elle, « et de la force qu'il faut pour regarder au-delà, se connecter, tenter quelque chose de nouveau.» Pour Daniela, l'obscurité symbolise la zone de confort, tandis que le mince rayon de lumière représente le moment de transition, la décision de dépasser la peur.

Mural "Bruma" by Venezuelan artist Daniela Guerreiro at 89 Rue Ferdinand Buisson in Boulogne-sur-Mer.

Daniela Guerreiro unveils a mural that serves as a subtle yet powerful invitation: to open one's mind and venture into the unknown. Her work presents a somewhat introspective scene: a young woman peers through the blinds of a darkened apartment, illuminated only by a thin beam of light.

Her mural evokes intimacy, vulnerability, and courage. "It's about that private space within us," she says, "and the strength it takes to look beyond, to connect, to try something new." For Daniela, the darkness symbolizes the comfort zone, while the thin ray of light represents the moment of transition, the decision to overcome fear.

Peinture murale par l'artiste mexicain Juandres Vera au 5 place de Picardie à Boulogne-sur-Mer.

Une jeune fille semble sortir du mur, tenant dans ses mains un joli bateau en papier où apparait la figure du Général San Martin, libérateur de l’Argentine, du Chili et du Pérou, mort à Boulogne-sur-Mer en 1850.
« Pour réaliser mes fresques, j’aime m’imprégner de l’histoire du lieu où je peints » confie le jeune Mexicain. « Pour la composition, j’ai voulu mêler plusieurs éléments qui font référence à l’histoire de Boulogne-sur-Mer. Ma femme étant argentine, la figure du général San Martin m’a forcément inspiré. Pour les Argentins, Boulogne-sur-Mer est une ville très importante. La statue équestre face à la plage est un beau symbole qui a survécu à la seconde guerre mondiale. Elle est restée intacte malgré les bombardements. »
Dans le monde imaginaire de Vera, « la figure du General est représentée sur un billet de banque argentin devenu un bateau de papier qui rappelle le lien entre Boulogne-sur-Mer et la pêche ». Ce bateau est tenu par une jeune fille de 6 ans. «L’image d’une enfant symbolise la liberté que San Martin a offert à son peuple. La République.»
Pour terminer sa composition, Vera a souhaité ajouter un macareux moine, ce « perroquet de mer » qui vit de la pêche. Le tout prend place dans un cadre : « La base, c’est la façon dont le mur est construit » continue l’artiste. « La forme de celui-ci est très particulière. J’ai voulu jouer avec ça, transformer cette forme en pièce où la perception du Monde est différente. »

Mural by Mexican artist Juandres Vera at 5 Place de Picardie in Boulogne-sur-Mer.

A young girl appears to be emerging from the wall, holding a pretty paper boat in her hands, on which is the figure of General San Martín, liberator of Argentina, Chile, and Peru, who died in Boulogne-sur-Mer in 1850.

"To create my murals, I like to immerse myself in the history of the place where I paint," explains the young Mexican artist. "For the composition, I wanted to combine several elements that reference the history of Boulogne-sur-Mer. My wife is Argentinian, so the figure of General San Martín was a natural inspiration. For Argentinians, Boulogne-sur-Mer is a very important city. The equestrian statue facing the beach is a beautiful symbol that survived the Second World War. It remained intact despite the bombings." “In Vera’s imaginary world, the figure of the General is depicted on an Argentinian banknote transformed into a paper boat, a reminder of the connection between Boulogne-sur-Mer and fishing.” This boat is held by a six-year-old girl. “The image of a child symbolizes the freedom that San Martín offered his people. The Republic.”
To complete her composition, Vera wanted to add a puffin, this “sea parrot” that lives by fishing. The whole piece is framed: “The basis is the way the wall is constructed,” the artist continues. “Its shape is very particular. I wanted to play with that, to transform this form into a room where the perception of the world is different.”

Soaring the ocean

On this World Ocean Day, I’m honoring one of the most fascinating creatures to grace our seas: the endangered Atlantic yellow-nosed albatross. With their unique grace and that signature vibrant splash of yellow on their bill, they are a living reminder of the vastness and fragility of our oceans. Protecting their home ensures that these masters of the wind can continue to roam the planet. 🌊💙
