Amtrak's "Capitol Limited" heads west through Gaithersburg, Maryland on November 2, 2024, behind P42 locomotive 176 in the "Phase 7" Amtrak livery.
It was a bitter cold day today - the coldest on record for Ottawa. I bundled up warm and went for a quick walk at lunch looking for an interesting streetscape photo opp. As you can see, there are not a lot of people on the pedestrian mall - they were smart and stayed inside for lunch LOL.

My main interest is in the people who pass through the exhibition space and in how they interact with the exhibited objects. This has two main aspects - how they more or less consciously engage with the exhibits but also how their appearance (posture, clothing, hair...) might be related to aspects of the objects around them. So what I'm after is the ephemeral and unrepeatable conjunction of spectator and exhibit.
Week 24 / 52 is "water". Since it was raining outside I decided to go with some water drops on some leaves. This is a composite of 6 frames using "focus Stacking" in lightroom & Photoshop CC.
RAFTING SUL FIUME ISONZO.
La discesa in gommone per le acque smeraldine del fiume Soča (rafting sul Soča, fiume Isonzo in italiano) viene annoverata tra le cinque esperienze slovene più belle. Il livello dell’acqua è adatto al divertimento di tutte le generazioni e di intere famiglie.
Il tragitto preferito dalla maggior parte dei visitatori scende per 10 km iniziando dal ponte di Log Čezsoški, nelle immediate vicinanze della cascata Boka, fino a Trnovo ob Soči. Le prime rapide più semplici introducono il gruppo di rematori assieme alla guida al fiume che serpeggia sovrastato dalle vette delle Alpi Giulie, per portarli alle rapide più impegnative del Soča.

This picture is rather special as the land this young lady is attending to actually belongs to me. Over the past year I've been attempting to put together a self sufficient lifestyle not specifically for my own purposes but more to teach my young son that you don't have to go to a shop to buy food. The land is a total of 3.5 acres and hopefully plans currently being drawn up by an architect that specialises in permaculture will come to fruition by the end of next year. Naturally, I will try to document as much of the build as possible within this diary.
Zurriola, San Sebastián, Guipúzcoa, País Vasco, España.
La Playa de Zurriola es una de las tres playas de la ciudad de San Sebastián (España). Está situada entre la desembocadura del río Urumea y el monte Ulía, y tiene una longitud aproximada de 800 metros.
En 1994 se llevaron a cabo unas obras de reforma de la playa, anteriormente prácticamente inutilizable dada la virulencia de las aguas. Gracias a dichas reformas, que incluyeron la construcción de un espigón, la playa aumentó su longitud, sus aguas se hicieron aptas para el baño y su uso se multiplicó.
Frente al perfil elegante y tranquilo de las playas de Ondarreta y La Concha, la playa de Zurriola se ha consolidado como una playa de perfil más joven y apropiada para la práctica del surfismo (se trata de la playa más abierta y con más fuerte oleaje de la ciudad) y como escenario de algunos conciertos del Festival de Jazz de San Sebastián y de competiciones de Bodyboarding, surf, skateboarding y eventos similares.
The Zurriola Beach is one of the three beaches in the city of San Sebastián (Spain). It is located between the mouth of the Urumea River and Mount Ulía, and it has an approximate length of 800 meters.
In 1994, some works were carried out to reform the beach, which was previously practically unusable given the virulence of the waters. Thanks to these reforms, which included the construction of a jetty, the beach increased its length, its waters became suitable for bathing and its use multiplied.
Facing the elegant and tranquil profile of the beaches of Ondarreta and La Concha, Zurriola beach has established itself as a beach with a younger profile and suitable for surfing (it is the most open beach with the strongest waves in the the city) and as a stage for some concerts of the San Sebastian Jazz Festival and competitions of Bodyboarding, surfing, skateboarding and similar events.

Palacio de Miramar, San Sebastián, Guipúzcoa, País Vasco, España.
El Palacio de Miramar, también denominado Palacio Municipal de Miramar o Palacio Real, es un palacio de estilo inglés situado en la ciudad guipuzcoana de San Sebastián, en España. Fue construido en 1893 por José Goicoa, por encargo de la Casa Real española, con base en un proyecto de 1889 del arquitecto inglés Ralph Selden Wornum. Situado frente a la bahía de La Concha, dispone de una de las más espectaculares vistas de la ciudad.
El palacio de Miramar es de estilo puramente inglés y presenta ciertos elementos decorativos neogóticos. En su interior dispone de ciertas zonas nobles que se mantienen fieles a su configuración original, como el Salón Blanco, el Salón de Música, el Salón de Madera, el Petit Salón, la Biblioteca y el Comedor Real. El resto del palacio ha sido reformado sucesivamente desde su compra por parte del Ayuntamiento, convirtiéndolo en un recinto más funcional aunque algo desvirtuado. Las últimas obras acometidas en el mismo, en 2001, tuvieron como objeto la construcción de aulas para Musikene. Posteriormente, en 2007, se restauró la torre del edificio.
En cualquier caso, el palacio mantiene su aspecto externo original y es habitual la celebración de ciertas fiestas en sus jardines y zonas nobles, principalmente las del Festival de Cine de San Sebastián.
Miramar Palace, also known as Miramar Municipal Palace or Royal Palace, is an English-style palace located in the city of San Sebastián, Guipuzcoa, Spain. It was built in 1893 by José Goicoa, commissioned by the Spanish Royal Family, based on a project from 1889 by the English architect Ralph Selden Wornum. Located in front of La Concha Bay, it has one of the most spectacular views of the city.
Miramar Palace is purely English in style and has certain neo-Gothic decorative elements. Inside it has certain noble areas that remain faithful to their original configuration, such as the White Room, the Music Room, the Wooden Room, the Petit Room, the Library and the Royal Dining Room. The rest of the palace has been successively renovated since its purchase by the City Council, turning it into a more functional although somewhat distorted enclosure. The last works undertaken there, in 2001, were aimed at building classrooms for Musikene. The tower of the building was later restored in 2007.
In any case, the palace maintains its original external appearance and it is common to hold certain parties in its gardens and public areas, mainly those of the San Sebastian Film Festival.

I belong to a bookgroup. We meet once a month and we take turns choosing the book.
This is January's choice by another one of the members.
I've read many books over the years that were bookgroup choices and ones that I read outside of bookgroup that were amazing and written beautifully. But I think I can honestly say that I've never read a book that is so meaningful and written so incredibly as this one.
Portovenere. The Doria Castle and the underlying cemetery.
---------------------------------
The Doria Castle is a fortress located on the rocky hill overlooking the seaside village of Portovenere, in the province of La Spezia. Considered one of the most majestic military architectures of the Republic of Genoa in the Ligurian Levant.
The date of construction of the first fortified building is unknown. The only data available and received by historians date back to 1139 when the Republic of Genoa acquired control of the village of Portovenere, thus defending itself to the east from the rival Republic of Pisa.
In 1161 the castle was rebuilt in a more dominant area than the pre-existing one.
In the 13th century the fortress was at the center of the struggles between Genoa and Pisa for the dominion over the surrounding lands; around the middle of the century both the castle and the seaside village of Porto Venere were part of the vast fiefdom in the Ligurian Levant of Nicolò Fieschi and will return to be the domain of the Genoese Republic starting from 1276.
During the Napoleonic domination of the Ligurian Republic, at the beginning of the 19th century the building will be used as a prison, however without altering its architectural forms.
Today the ancient Genoese fortress is owned by the Municipality of Portovenere and, after careful restoration work in the 1970s, is home to art exhibitions in various events that take place throughout the year.
From the castle a surrounding wall with loopholes, a walkway and towers descends to include the village of Portovenere.

Me apetece escribir un poquito.
Todos los males del mundo se deben a esos días en los que existir parece imposible sin doler, y en los que te olvidas del dolor de los otros.
A todos esos días en los que los buenos se confundieron y creyeron que los ególatras egoístas no valían nada. Pero de hecho, si lo hacen , en términos negativos. Hicieron mal su juicio y los dejaron libres
Todos esos días en los que los poetas aletargados creyeron que debían escribir sobre ambiguedades, un bonito mensaje de amor al que se le olvidan las demás cosas, pero como decía el prolífico dipsómano: si al cuerpo le quitas el alma solo queda la forma.
Todos los males del mundo son por culpa de monstruos que cambiaron su sitio debajo de las camas y se pasaron a las cabezas. Y uno de esos monstrúos era precioso y tenía sentido, pero ahora ¿qué mierda nos queda?
ya seguiré...
