Cave of the Buddhist temple of Khao Chong Phran
Province of Ratchaburi

The big troop which flies away at the end of the day will capture 30 to 40 tons of insects in only one night! The monks ensure the exploitation and the sale of the invaluable guano collected in the cave. As for the frugivorous Flying foxes, they pollinate precious fruit trees.

The Rocher de La Baume at Sisteron (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence). This remarkable structure does not correspond to a sharp anticlinal hinge, as one might think, but to the meeting of two benches, due to their bevelling by an overlapping surface. The town of Sisteron owes its strategic position to the fact that it rests on a vertical tithonic bar, which the Durance crosses via a narrow "clue" (a Provençal term equivalent to cluse*). This rocky bar forms a border between the Laragne depression to the north and the Lure mountain and Valensole basin to the south. France
