I decided to wait to finish my series, on Miss the she-cat tomorrow.

For this evening, I wanted to draw the attention to the natural catastrophe which touched Indonesia, Wednesday, my friend Jutjut living in this country, I noticed that it had not given a news since. I hope and I think that there are big problems of communication after this seism which touched this part of the world. Of course all my thoughts go towards him and its touched compatriots or in their flesh or the destitution which can touch them (their houses) in such moments.

In short of what it what's going on Indonesia:

The island indonesienne of Sumatra was struck Thursday by several counterparts of the violent one seism of Wednesday which made at least six died and perhaps of the hundreds of woundeds.

The American agency of geological investigations thus counted in 18 hours a total of 19 jolts a magnitude from 4,9 to 8,4 on the scale of Richter. The initial seism of Wednesday, a magnitude of 8,4 - more the violent one recorded this year in the world - sowed panic with Padang. The authorities worry about the situation with Bengkulu, a coastal city of 300.000 inhabitants, urban centre nearest to the epicentre of the violent one seism of Wednesday. The area of the north of Bengkulu was identified as being reached more with destruction with 50%, a great number of hospital, houses, administrative buildings and private clinics were destroyed. Since, another tremor like the day before Wednesday, the west of Indonesia was the victim of a violent one seism Thursday morning. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the earth tremor had a preliminary magnitude of 7,8. The epicentre of the earthquake was located at 200 km of Bengkulu, a city located on the island of Sumatra.
The authorities announce nine dead and of the hundreds of wounded but the assessment could weigh down itself, considering the extent of the devastated zone, the people who would be still blocked under the debris of their houses or the buildings where those worked.
Maintaining of the news of members of TL located in this splendid country and especially of my friend Tjutjut.
Why a photograph of orchises, quite simply because it is a flower which it affectionne particularly. Those had been offered to me by my Virginia daughter at the time of the Mother's Day.

A realignment and cleaning of the "noise", addition of contrast and frame.

Still hundreds of people on board during this quake . . but finally we all OK . . I am still monitoring status of other hundreds of our staff at Sumatera that still can't go home due to possibility if TSUNAMI . . hope not . . Even last night still other 30 times small quakes . .
