This was taken the same day as my post of 10/27, and slightly faster than that time.
Beach on the north side is protected from storm wave by Senganmon.
Though, it is more than 12 feet waves are rough here…
夕陽と荒波の雲見・千貫門の北側ビーチ。5つ前のポスト、大波の千貫門と同日・少し早い時間のショットです。
こちらは、大波の直撃は写真左の大きな千貫門に守られていますが、それでも4m弱の波が押し寄せていました。これ以上前に行くと危険なので少々引き気味ですが、それでもかなりレンズにしぶきがかかりました。。
この角度の千貫門は写真だと「ヒヨコ」みたいに見えますが、高さ30m以上あるのでその威圧感は凄いです。

Monterosso is one of the five villages in Cinque Terre. The Cinque Terre have come to be among the most popular areas of Italy among tourists. The coastline, the five villages, and the surrounding hillsides are all encapsulated in a national park by the same name. The Cinque Terre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's most picturesque, fun and quaint at the same time, very accessible, and terrific for swimming. Monterosso al Mare is actually two towns—a bustling, character-filled old town built behind the harbor. Narrow and winding streets, colorfully-painted buildings, unique shops, people at work and play - similar to most Italian towns. Somehow, though, it just never gets old. The medieval Torre Aurora or Dawn Tower separates the old part of Monterosso from the new part. It is located on a headland, jutting out into the sea. The tower is the only one remaining of an original 13 towers which surrounded Monterosso in the 16th century. In addition to the spectacular scenery, Monterosso’s beaches are favorites with tourists because they provide easy access to the culinary delights for which the region is so famous. The grapes and olives cultivated on terraces carved into the surrounding mountainside are turned into award-winning wines, liqueurs, and olive oils. Anchovies are a local specialty, as is the pesto sauce, made from locally produced basil, garlic, pine nuts, and pecorino cheese.
Clothes drip dry from washing lines above the restaurants, the narrow streets are clad in stone, and in the evenings, the sea gentle tumbles the shoreline's boulders. Monterosso may be the busiest of the Cinque Terre towns, with the most hotels, restaurants, and bustle, but calling it "busy" is a relative thing. The town remains little more than an oversized fishing village, with all the attendant charms.
Monterosso is het meest noordelijke dorp van de Cinque Terre en het enige met een zandstrand. Het dorpje wordt in twee gesplitst door een uitstekende rots, met bovenop een kasteel. Het havengebied is rijk aan oude steegjes, typische smalle kleurrijke straatjes van Ligurië, waar je wijnbars, restaurants, focaccia en ijssalons kunt vinden. Het oude stadsdeel ligt achter de spoorlijn en in de kleine straatjes liggen talrijke winkeltjes en eetgelegenheden.Monterosso heeft een leuke boulevard en pleintjes. De restaurants in de oude binnenstad zijn van goede kwaliteit, het slimste is van te voren te reserveren anders is er wellicht geen plaats meer. Het dorp ligt in het natuurpark Cinque Terre, een groene, bosrijke en heuvelachtige omgeving met authentieke dorpjes en hoge rotskliffen. Langs de kust loopt een wandelpad die de Cinque Terre met elkaar verbindt, nl. van Monterosso al Mare via Vernazza, Corniglia en Manarola naar Riomaggiore. Je kan op verschillende manieren de prachtige omgeving bekijken, wandelen, trein en boot.

Svatopluk Čech Bridge or Čech Bridge (Most Svatopluka Čecha or Čechův most in Czech) is a arch bridge over river Vltava (Moldau) in Prague, Czech Republic.
Construction of the bridge started in 1905 and finished in 1908. Its length is 169 meters (one of the shortest in Prague) and width is 16 meters.
The bridge connects the Prague districts Holešovice and the Old Town (Staré Město). Construction materials are stone (pillars) and iron (arches). Up to 1961 the roadway was made of wood - a hard specie named Jarrah from Australia. The roadway got very slippery during rains.

Cuando éramos niños los viejos tenían como treinta,
un charco era un océano, la muerte lisa y llana no existía.
Luego cuando muchachos los viejos eran gente de cuarenta,
un estanque era océano, la muerte solamente una palabra.
Ya cuando nos casamos los ancianos estaban en cincuenta,
un lago era un océano, la muerte era la muerte de los otros.
Ahora veteranos ya le dimos alcance a la verdad.
El océano es por fin el océano, pero la muerte empieza a ser la nuestra.
(MARIO BENEDETTI)
Adoor in Kerala holds its famous Bull Races every year around the time of Onam. It is a celebration of agrarian existence and is carried on without any grants or aid from the Government. This is a spectacular fiesta of rural Kerala. There are 2-3 other such events that are held in Kerala.
Two racing bulls are hitched together and three men come into action. Two racers with lead ropes on either side of the bulls who try to control the direction and speed if possible and one often obscured by sprays of mud and water, a jockey who rides on a small flat strip of wood.
The bulls race ahead with the men keeping desperately abreast of the thundering hooves. At the end of the racing track there is a 4-6 feet embankment of earth which acts as a protection and a marker for the bulls. The embankment gets totally crowded with onlookers. The bull racers need to turn the bull around and do a 360 degree here but most times that effort fails as the bulls in their racing frenzy would be uncontrollable.
I have no idea on the current status of the bull races. There are enough organisations howling to stop such races but the Supreme Court of India in a judgement a few months ago allowed bull/bullock cart races to go on in Punjab. So chances are that the tradition may still live on.

Chianti is a red Italian wine produced in Tuscany. The first definition of a wine-area called Chianti was made in 1716. The earliest documentation of a Chianti wine dates back to the thirteenth century when viticulture was known to flourish in the Chianti Mountains around Florence. Discover the most celebrated region of Tuscany. The vineyards of this area produce one of the best wines in the world: Chianti Classico. This Wine represents a major source of wealth for the Chianti area, no wonder then that this product has been particularly looked after and protected, in order to distinguish its quality from other wine productions. This is why a rigid legislation has been introduced to regulate the production of Classic Chianti. The first limit obviously regards the geographical area where the grape must grow. But not only the vineyards must be cultivated in the prescribed area: the whole process of wine-making, storage and bottling must take place inside the protected zone. The grape variety from which Chianti is produced is Sangiovese. The alcoholic strength must not exceed 12 %. In addition to this, there are other requirements that must be followed, regarding the average amount of dry product (24 g/l); the acidity rate (4,5 g/l), the colour (intense ruby red), the smell (fruity, with nuances of wildflowers, berries, cherries or plums) and taste (harmonious, dry, strong and with respectable tannin).
We drive on the glorious wine roads of Tuscany. We visit the farms and cellars and of-course taste the great Chianti wine. Here we visit Casale Dello Sparviero. Harmoniously set in the hills of Castellina in Chianti, in the Siena's Classico area, the estate is spread 380 hectares. The vineyards are set on the altitude of 250 metres and encircled by woods and self vegetation. The Casale dated back to XVI century. The building houses the wine cellars, where wine continues its precious evolution in large oak barrels for quality wine.
Denk je aan Toscana, dan zie je stadjes op heuveltoppen, wijngaarden omzoomd door cipressen zover het oog reikt. Liefhebbers weten dat je overal tussen die landerijen. wijnhuizen kunt vinden waar je ook nog eens kunt proeven... het idee alleen al doet je toch bijna het water in de mond lopen. Ook als je weer thuis bent en je neemt een slok van je meegebrachte wijn, ben je er in je gedachten weer helemaal: op dat zonovergoten terras in Castellina in Chianti of bij dat fantastische restaurant met die truffelgerechten in Monteriggioni. Zeg je wijn in Toscana, dan zeg je Chianti, een wijn die zich in de laatste 30 jaar tot Classico heeft ontwikkeld. Chianti is de bekendste en populairste van alle Italiaanse wijnen. De wijn wordt gemaakt van de alom aanwezige Sangiovese-druif, die graag veel zon heeft en goed bestand is tegen grote temperatuurschommelingen. De belangrijkste Chianti-zones worden gevormd door de streek Chianti Classico gelegen rond Castellina. Zoals met zoveel in Italia, is ook de wijnbouw begonnen in het zuiden, maar hebben de noorderlingen het later overgenomen. Na de Romeinse tijd kwam de zuidelijke wijnbouw in de versukkeling. De oudste ononderbroken wijntraditie. In de Renaissance kwam de productie weer helemaal terug en wel in...Toscana. Rijke handelaars en bankiers zoals de families Frescobaldi en Antinori namen druivenrassen mee uit Frankrijk en legden daarmee de basis voor het feit dat Toscana tegenwoordig de oudste onononderbroken wijntradities van Italië kent.
This is from the danish championships in decathlon. The weather conditions were perfect and we had a great time with other track and field clubs.

Lake Atanasovsko is a salt coastal lake north of Burgas, Bulgaria
Due to the water of Lake Atanasovsko's high salt content that increases every year because of the link with the sea, salt has been produced in it since 1906, with 40,000 tons of sea salt being obtained a year.
“Tú no eres para mí todavía más que un muchachito igual a otros cien mil muchachitos. Y no te necesito. Tampoco tú tienes necesidad de mí. No soy para ti más que un zorro entre otros cien mil zorros semejantes. Pero si me domesticas, entonces tendremos necesidad el uno del otro. Tú serás para mí único en el mundo, yo seré para ti único en el mundo…”

El Cortijo del Fraile es una edificación que está situado al Sureste de Níjar (Almería), dentro del Parque Natural de Cabo de Gata-Níjar. Las localidades más cercanas son Los Albaricoques y Rodalquilar. En sus proximidades tuvo lugar el 22 de julio de 1928 el suceso conocido como Crimen de Nijar que inspiró el drama en verso de Federico García Lorca titulado Bodas de Sangre.
La noticia sobre el Crimen de Nijar aparecida en ABC del 25 de julio de 1928, que titulada “Crimen desarrollado en circunstancias misteriosas”, decía:
“Almería, 24, 1 tarde. En las inmediaciones de un cortijo de Níjar se ha perpetrado un crimen en circunstancias misteriosas. Para la mañana de ayer se había concertado la boda de una hija del cortijero, joven de veinte años.
En la casa de hallaban esperando la hora de ceremonia el novio y numerosos invitados. Como la hora se acercaba y la novia no llegaba ni aparecía por la casa, los invitados se retiraron contrariados. Uno de éstos encontró a una distancia de ocho kilómetros del cortijo el cadáver ensangrentado de un primo de la novia que iba a casarse, apellidado Montes Cañadas, de treinta y cuatro años. A las voces de auxilio del que hizo el hallazgo acudieron numerosas personas que regresaban de la cortijada y la Guardia Civil, que logró dar con la novia, que se hallaba en un lugar próximo al que estaba el cadáver y con las ropas desgarradas.
Detenida la novia, manifestó que había huido en unión de su primo para burlar al novio. La fuga la emprendieron en una caballería, y al llegar al lugar del crimen les salió al encuentro un enmascarado, que hizo cuatro disparos, produciendo la muerte de Montes Cañadas.
También fue detenido el novio, quien niega toda participación en el crimen, que hasta ahora parece envuelto en el mayor misterio.”

Machu Picchu is possibly the most famous archaeological site in all of the Americas, and is also one of the most beautiful places anywhere on earth. It is often referred to as the Lost City of the Incas because it lay undiscovered until 24th July, 1911.
Machu Picchu is actually the name of the tall mountain to the south of the ruins, and means ‘old peak'. This is in contrast to Huayna Picchu, the sugarloaf mountain to the north of the ruins, which means ‘young peak'.
Machu Picchu was built by the Incas during the 15th century but was mysteriously abandoned.
Archeologists believe that Machu Picchu was built, occupied and abandoned all within the space of about 100 years and it didn’t take very long for the jungle vegetation to completely reclaim the mountain and hide the existence of the city for hundreds of years.
The site was never looted by the Spanish, and it is therefore the best-preserved Inca complex in existence.

En compañia de nuestro amigo Shadi nos trasladamos hasta el concejo de Cudillero a esta preciosidad de playa para hacer amaneceres que es Gueirua.
Es una pequeña playa escondida, de dificil acceso, pero que brinda uno de los paisajes costeros mas bonitos que jamas haya visto que se encuantra en el pueblo de Santa Marina.
Espero sea de vuestro agrado

Taken at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in the wing that has the Temple of Dendur, which is an Egyptian monument built ~ 15 BC. There is a reflecting pool in the room, and great glass walls, and always lots of people milling about.
Took lots of pictures that day! :-)
Hope everybody is doing great!
He was so happy to see the sunrise! It has been a very long time since I photographed Plankton! He was very miffed and uncooperative, but finally I got him to oblige. Even toys can't resist a good sunrise over the lake!
It has also been a long time since I posted a Toy on Thursday! *gasp* In fact ... the last time I posted was way back in January, and ... incidentally, that one was taken in Chicago too!
Happy Toy-in-the-Frame Thursday!!

...rebellion in the street...have a excellent weekend my friends, remember not to compromise on having fun :-)
We thought that this W.D. Hogan photograph was taken during the Irish Civil War. The title on our catalogue was: "A prayer vigil, during the Irish Civil War, possibly in London" - at least we were partly right!
It had been suggested that this was taken in London, because it was stamped on the back with "Photo by The Press Photographic Agency, Johnson's Court, Fleet St., E.C.4.". Have to admit I wasn't initially convinced about London, but am absolutely happy to say that I was entirely wrong...
Have a look through the comments below, to see how the location of Downing Street in London was established by our Fantastic Flickroonies, and hence an accurate date for this photo... So we've achieved two of our Triumvirate of Terrificness - Date established and Location identified. If we identify any of the people, I may faint away with happiness! :)

Here is the link:
A long stretch of U.S. Route 50 traverses Utah along a desolate portion of the Great Basin Desert. It is commonly referred to as the "Loneliest Road in America."
At the time, I was talking to the old man. He was telling me that he had made this colossal recipe of beef enchiladas. I was getting the entire recipe related to me in it's entirety. It was so lonely out there, all by myself ... that I was content to just tune in.
I finally had to 'tune out the food channel' when I saw this epic sunset unfolding over the desert swamp right before my eyes. I stopped in the middle of the road, left the car door open ... sat on the hood of my car ... and watched the sun set. Not one car passed by... the only sound I heard were the frogs.
