The fountain was cast in Paris and completed for the 1876 International Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia, the same exhibit at which Bartholdi displayed the Statue of Liberty’s right arm and torch. Bartholdi had originally intended to complete the Statue of Liberty in 1876 in time for the Country's Centennial, but construction was delayed. While the remainder of the statue was being completed in Paris, Bartholdi displayed the arm and torch at the Philadelphia Exhibition, along with his commissioned fountain

this is why photography is so intriguing to me. why it fills me up. it is the single moment when all falls into place and is captured. looking back on this day, if she had not been in her gown and the sun didn't fall just perfectly, or the rain didn't shower... her shadow would not have made a heart... happy moments & shutter clicks...
You've been a fantastic month for me :-))
Happy Weekend !

This photo is now showing at the top of the Flickr Blog as the top photo! It has been on there for about 24 hours which has greatly increased, (ok, well maybe not GREATLY) traffic to my photostream. Thanks for the phone call yesterday from Boiani to alert me right away.
(Originally uploaded 3 years ago but moved to the top of my photostream to celebrate it being highlighted in the flickr blog)

As in the past tense of lay, not telling us porkies!
A Flickr friend recently made me realise I have a gaping hole in my Australian animal posts. I have emu, kangaroo, tassie devil but was missing the obvious. So here is a little chap doing what Koala's do best - sleeping in impossible positions in trees. Still I'd prefer a koala bear to that other Aussie deadly creature know to terrify overseas visitors - the drop bear!
Cheers all :)

Also called the Drei Zinnen as up until 1919, they formed part of the border between Italy and Austria. There are many reasons this is a very popular hike around the three peaks reaching 2,999 metres at the highest point.

Here's my take on the nights festivities at Shiprock in New Mexico. Wayne Pinkston, Sandra Herber, Chris Wrey, Willa Wei, Huibo Hou, and Wenjie Qiao and I, all converged on this formation with some serious intent on one very windy chilly evening.
Hot tip of the day!!! :)
I always keep a full-size carabiner attached to the handle on My Tamrac Expedition7 camera pack and a mini titanium carabiner attached to the hook on my tripod, and this was one of those rare times that I had to attached my camera pack to my tripod. :)

It was something like a clue to the forgotten murder...
Such a fascinating place, Ich bin ein Berliner!.

Et que de l’horizon embrassant tout le cercle
Il nous verse un jour noir plus triste que les nuits

SPILIMBERGO
LA CHIESETTA DELL'ANCONA
Scendendo dalla Piazza del Duomo verso il Tagliamento, si trova a metà costa, la Chiesetta dell’Ancona.
Il titolo originario della chiesa, legato alla tradizione, è quella di Santa Sabbata (santa Sabida), una santa inesistente riconducibile a culti precristiani, legati ai corsi dei fiumi. Già nel 1597, però, l'Ancona viene dedicata alla Madonna della Mercede (venerata il 24 settembre) pregata come protettrice dalle insidie del guado del Tagliamento.
Oggi la chiesa, molto semplice e sobria, poggia su una pianta regolare e si presenta con un'unica aula. Esternamente è possibile ammirare un grazioso portichetto sorretto da cinque colonne e a metà dei lato sinistro si innalza il campanile. All'interno si trova un altare in marmi policromi e un affresco di fine Quattrocento raffigurante la Madonna con Bambino e due angíoletti.
In questo luogo si incontravano dunque mercanti e pellegrini, poiché sorgeva su un passaggio obbligato per attraversare il guado del Tagliamento, dopo aver pagato un dazio, raggiungere poi Gemona, Venzone e proseguire verso le Germanie.
Per coloro che entravano a Spilimbergo attraversato il guado, era il tempio dove pregare la Madonna per la protezione accordata e lo scampo dai pericoli, allora frequenti: perdita dei carico, ferite, annegamenti.
E' per questo motivo che qui venivano deposti gli ex voto, tavolette dipinte di gusto popolare, forma di ringraziamento e di devozione (ora raccolti e conservati nell'archivio parrocchiale).
Era dunque un punto d'incontro, di scambi commerciali e di preghiera.
Nel 1687 l'Ancona venne ampliata con una loggia, al fine di ospitare il numero sempre più grande di fedeli, che si riunivano.
Successivamente venne restaurata e ampliata più volte fino al 1968, quando venne inaugurata; nel 1976 venne distrutta dal terremoto e finalmente nel 1978 riacquistò l'antico splendore.
Per la sua bellezza e la sua posizione panoramica sul Tagliamento, l'Ancona è per antonomasia considerata a livello locale la chiesetta degli innamorati.
