On cherche toutes et tous des pictos libres de droit sur la thématique de la géomatique. Du coup, avec les Master #geonum et @CyCo , on expérimente un atelier géo-pictos. L’occasion aussi de finir tranquillement une année bien chargée (avant le départ en stage !)

Nous verrons bien ce que ça donne ! L’idee, si ça fonctionne, est d’essayer de proposer d’ici quelques mois la version 0.1 d’une collection de géopictos libres de droit.



Un soleil sous la pluie (Forsythia)

Appartenant à la famille des Oléacées, comme le jasmin et le lilas, le Forsythia est un arbuste à feuillage caduc parfois considéré comme banal par certains jardiniers. Il offre pourtant une floraison précoce remarquable.

@gemlog Imagination is not required in order to create visual art. There are plenty of artists who only reproduce what they see, either from photos or from real life & they seem to be happy doing that!

But it can take years of regular, consistent practice to learn how reproduce something accurately and most people just don't have the patience.

I understand how one can feel disheartened by seeing what others are able to do... but we all had to work very hard for it:

@nelchee I have seen your work and I understand what you are saying about copying - I can do that to a very limited degree. As well, one of my clients was a painter as well as a professional in his field, but he was not good with computers - he'd tell me what to do in gimp, inkscape, w/e and I would do it.
I'm 64 now and for years I thought being artistic was something I could learn, but I can not. It took my ego until I was in my late 40's to finally admit it and get over myself. I can be absolutely convinced that something I've produced is very good and I'll spend hours and hours - Until someone goes "Hey, that's good! I like it! What if you changed that to x. Hmm. Maybe that would be better as y. Or left. And maybe get rid of that. I think this would be good blue. No. Bluer. Meh. Make it green - yes!" And so on.
I'm not kidding! and then it's completely different and waaay better! I just can't do it out of my own head.




#Écologie 🌱 L’adaptation au chaos climatique victime de l’austérité budgétaire

La ministre de l’écologie a présenté lundi le plan national d’#adaptation au #ChangementClimatique. Mais les financements alloués à cette feuille de route pour préparer la France à + 4 °C sont très insuffisants et, pour certains, empiètent sur ceux fléchés pour diminuer les émissions du pays.

Et oui on ne parle plus de lutte contre le réchauffement mais d'adaptation à +4°C autant dire qu'on laissera les industriels continuer à polluer sans contrainte. On peut peut-être dissoudre le ministère de l'écologie ce serait moins hypocrite

our former prime minister #Rutte, better known as ‘smiley face’. Wondering if that will do the trick here.

And there it is, just as expected. Russia is the obstacle to peace. They won’t even accept the ceasefire that Trump proposed and got Ukraine to agree to after strong arming them with threats of the loss of intelligence and military aid. Let there be no doubt: Russia is not serious about peace and will only accept it on its own terms. We must recommit to fully supporting Ukraine in its war efforts. Diplomacy with Russia doesn’t work. It’s time the Trump White House understood that.

Good luck hammering this home with the Trump White House. 😕

Countries like Chile and Kenya are leading by example in renewable energy, showcasing that ambitious policies can drive real change, even in challenging financial contexts.

Every effort counts! #RenewableEnergy #Leadership

in reply to The Bright Side

As we move forward, we must speed up our efforts.

Current policies predict only a 2.6% reduction in emissions by 2030, far from the necessary 28%.

Collective action is crucial! #ClimateGoals #CollectiveAction
