Zone humide d'Estouy / Estouy Wetland

Marais du Moulin de la Porte à Estouy. Une zone à défendre (ZAD), tout comme ipernity...

The Moulin de la Porte marsh in Estouy, a wetland of about 20 hectares, is one of the many protected areas in France that are the source of a biodiversity unequalled anywhere else.
These spaces coveted by property developers and elected officials, their allies, are now threatened by urban expansion and the profits it generates.
We cannot forget, in France, the titanic fight that opposed the defenders of the Notre Dame des Landes wetland to the State and the Region planning to install a new regional airport there, a fight that began in 1972 and concluded in 2018 with the blessed abandonment of the project...

The struggle continues, often supported by the population, but it requires a vanguard that mobilises body and soul.
The same applies to ipernity, which is just as much a zone to be defended (ZAD in French), which deserves - isn't it? - our investment and our mobilization, unless of course the sirens of elsewhere sound better to our ears, and exceed the conviviality that brings us together here....
Next March is a crucial deadline. Thank you for preparing for it.


...under the auspices of Ligeti's requiem....which unquestionably challenges us !

dear Eric.
Amazing Requiem, which I didn't know and I really thank you for having filled one of my many serious gaps in musical culture, as you have already done many other times and I will always thank you for it.
Of course! The requiem gave me a sense of being in Dante's Inferno, exactly in the Stygian Swamp, the swamp of Hate, with the laments of the wrathful.
And perhaps, I say to myself, that certain rabid contemporaries who destroy natural beauty, such as this gorgeous oasis in your fascinating image for simple reasons of profit, would deserve a stay, even if brief, out of my generosity:-), down there in those infernal circles.

ZAD, with success.
And I deeply hope ZAD , with similar succes for IP.
With a smile, my best wishes for a sweet and sunny Sunday .
