Excerpt from "Ancient Words" by Tiny Malone

 

"The wind, the light...all sound was still that night as we returned to our home. The bright moon cast rays of blue light on the place I used to live. The stains of blood were still there. The bones of my ancestors had been desecrated. After this long journey, we sat in silence, contemplating if we should have even returned. The stench of rot and death permeated the great walls of our land. We lived in peace. We hunted here. Raised crops here. Made love and raised our children here. Then someone decided we had to die."

 

(Palazzo Caracciolo di Avellino) ?

Chiedo lumi agli amici napoletani per l' esatta identificazione del luogo.

Ho finalmente avuto una risposta e adesso mi ricordo, si tratta dellla porta che dà accesso al cortile di San Domenico Maggiore col suo ingresso frontale.

Ringrazio l' anonimo informatore !

Riporto quì il testo integrale:

 

ATTENZIONE!!!!!!!!

NON si tratta del famoso palazzo CARACCIOLO Avellino ubicato nel largo omonimo, bensì dell'ingresso principale della chiesa di SAN DOMENICO MAGGIORE nel vicolo omonimo attiguo alla Piazza SAN DOMENICO. Nella foto si vede la porta d'ingresso al cortile posto innanzi al Convento ed al tempio. L'affresco raffigura la Vergine circondata e coronata da angeli che raccoglie sotto il suo manto tutti i seguaci dell'Ordine di S. Domenico tra i quali primeggia S. Tommaso. Si vuole che sia opera della scuola di Pompeo Landulfo. Benchè sia danneggiato dal tempo, l'affresco è ancora oggi in parte visibile.

Parc de la Ciutadella, Barcelona (Spain).

 

ENGLISH

A "discreet" parrot wanted to pass unnoticed between the herd of pigeons that pecked bread. Unfortunately for him it was discovered. In the last years the population of parrots in freedom in Barcelona has grown enormously, and they already dare to compete with the pigeons.

 

***

In 1714 Barcelona fell to the army of Philip V after a long siege. The dogged resistance of the city meant that its new rulers wanted to keep it under firm control.

 

A year later, Philip V ordered a giant new garrison fort, the largest in Europe, to be built in order to guard the city. The buildings of the Ribera district were demolished and in their place, in 1716, the new fortifications began to be erected, paid for by the city itself.

 

In 1841, the Junta de Vigilància (Board of the Guard) began to dismantle it, but under the Regency it was restored in 1843.

 

After the anti-Bourbon revolution of September 1868, the Catalan general Joan Prim decideded to turn over the garrison fort, the Ciutadella, to the city, which from 1869 to 1888 had it pulled down, this time definitively. All that was preserved was the Governor's palace, the chapel and the arsenal.

 

In 1888 Barcelona held a Universal Exhibition, inspired by Mayor Rius i Taulet, and the park was built on the grounds of the demolished Ciutadella. This event marks the end of the old provincial Barcelona and the establishment of a modern cosmopolitan city.

-----------------------

 

CASTELLANO

Un "discreto" loro quiso pasar desapercibido entre la manada de palomas que picoteaba pan. Lamentablemente para él fue descubierto. En los últimos años la población de loros en libertad en Barcelona ha crecido enormemente, y ya se atreven a competir con las palomas.

 

***

En al año 1714, Barcelona fue sometida a un largo asedio por el ejército de Felipe V. La larga resistencia que opuso la ciudad dio lugar a que este rey quisiera asegurar su dominio.

 

Un año después, Felipe V ordenó la construcción de la ciudadela más grande de Europa, con el objetivo de poder vigilar la ciudad, y para construirla hizo derribar el barrio de la Ribera. El año 1716 se comenzó a construir las edificaciones, que fueron pagadas por la ciudad.

 

En 1841, la Junta de Vigilancia inició su derribo, pero la Regencia la restauró el año 1843.

 

Durante la revolución de septiembre el general catalán Joan Prim decretó la donación de la Ciudadela a la ciudad, que entre los años 1869 y 1888 la hizo derribar definitivamente. Se han conservado el palacio del Gobernador, la capilla y el arsenal.

 

En 1888, con motivo de la Exposición Universal, promovida per el alcalde Rius i Taulet, se construyó el parque en los terrenos de la demolida Ciudadela. Este hecho cambió la orientación de la vida de la ciudad: Barcelona se transforma en una ciudad cosmopolita.

My most interesting pictures

We had an extraordinary weather this last weeks. A summer weather, which is unexpected in April :-)

 

And tonight we experienced a real summer thunderstorm ;-)

This picture is taken from my flat's window. It looks like a forest! I cheated a little bit on the green channel to emphasize the effect though ;-°

 

This is my entry for the week for Foreign'r, a group made with friends. We have a common theme per week and we try to show difference between our lives around the globe.

 

Test shot with the new Polaroid SX-70 I've got from eBay, rather a clever little Polaroid, it's surprisingly small too, I rather like how easy it is to focus and how it look through the viewfinder, much better than looking through my Lubitel 166B viewfinder (quick note - i didn't like having the border on the Polaroid so I decided to just crop to the picture itself, nice and clean).

 

I managed to modified the 600 films into the SX-70, removing the ND filter on the sensor and set the camera to the darkest setting on the sensor, picture still came out slightly overexposed but not so much.

 

Who need Photoshop?

 

Edited - I've notice due to Polaroid announced that they won't be doing instant film anymore, this lead to an increase number of people searching "Polaroid" on Flickr, and since this polaroid came first out of the list of search, I take this chance to show you the Save Polaroid site;

 

"This site will document the aftermath of this announcement and will serve as a home-base for the effort to convince another company to begin producing the cherished technology that Polaroid has so carelessly abandoned, this is not about saving Polaroid, the company, rather the remarkable invention of Edwin Land, the instant film that made Polaroid a household name."

 

A fire destroyed the office/clubhouse of a mobile home park located adjacent to the Lakeside Golf Course on North Coliseum Blvd. late this afternoon. There were no injuries. The building was vacant and was going to be torn down.

 

The site will become the site of the new Red Carrington Field for amatuer baseball in Fort Wayne. The current Carrington Field on the north side of Coliseum Boulevard on the west side of the St. Joseph River is being displaced by construction of the new hotel being built in conjunction with IPFW and the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum.

Another experiment that came out better than I expected.

Peaches is not actually the mother of all the kittens - but she took over the rearing of all of them. She is also my tortie girl, Liza's, mother.

This is the picture we're going with for the final. I think the composition is more balanced, the tones more intense, the lighting dramatic. I might have to add some elements for the final (bringing more definition to the light going out, etc).

'all together' On Black

 

Quizz thinks they are waiting at the bus stop -- I like that.

There are times I curse at the street lights and at the lights from the Cliff House, but this night I found them to be quite the blessing.

If you should ever come to my village, rebelxtned, I hope, you will find the way to the lonesome tree by having this picture in mind!

okay, ^o^ here is a photo taken with my favorite natural lighting condition and subject… yeah, ö_ö the precious & gorgeous golden lighting at sunrise with those translucent back-lighted wings.

Õ_õ before shooting this frame, those little egrets were flying with an incredible synchronism, together all the time, quite like an egret carrying a mirror aside; ö_ö many times they were showing off some incredible maneuvers right in front of my nose. lols… ò_ó frustrating for me, because the fact was happening at very near time of dawn and i hadn’t sufficient light to click the shutter. ó_ò hmmm… increasing iso for more than 400 would give me too much granulation in the entire composition and the use of flashlight *even with a diffuser* most probably would be disastrous. ö_ö yeah, it was hard to remember constantly that they were wild, they could get scared easily and pluff… ö_ö disappear in a blink of an eye. ~_^

ö_ö i was lucky, they came back later on and eventually, i got this shot. controlling lens flare was a bit difficult but my crew were very cooperative, they promptly answered my request of *don’t move, be quiet, no breathing and heads down* and ö_ö i could maneuver my big lens comfortably. ^o^lols

simultaneidade... ♫

certo, ^o^ aqui está uma fotografia feita com o assunto e condição de luz natural favorita. sim, ö_ö a preciosa & bela luz dourada do amanhecer com essas asas translúcidas iluminadas em contraluz.

Õ_õ antes de clickar este enquadramento, estas garças-brancas-pequenas estavam voando com um sincronismo incrível, juntas todo o tempo, muito como se a garçota tivesse um espelho ao seu lado; ö_ö muitas vezes elas exibiam algumas manobras incríveis bem na frente do meu nariz. rsrs... ò_ó frustrante para mim, porque este fato sempre acabava acontecendo numa hora muito cedo, pertinho do amanhecer e eu não tinha luz suficiente para clicar o shutter. ó_ò hmmm… aumentar o iso para mais que 400 daria-me muita granulação na composição inteira e o uso do flash *mesmo com um difusor* provavelmente seria desastroso. ö_ö yeah, foi duro lembrar constantemente que elas eram selvagens, elas poderiam assustar-se facilmente, e pluff... ö_ö desapareceriam em uma piscadela de olho. ^_~

ö_ö eu tive sorte, elas voltaram mais tarde e ao menos consegui esta foto. :P controlar o reflexo de lente foi um pouco difícil mas, a minha equipe foi bem cooperativa, prontamente eles responderam meu pedido de * não movam, calados, não respirem e abaixar cabeças* e ö_ö eu pude manobrar a minha lente grande confortavelmente. ^o^rsrs...

okaaay, ô_õ here i’m again with my bazooka lens, ^o^lols i was aboard on this tiny fiberglass boat with my crew when mr. Sempurno *the boat rower* told mr. Agus *my local guide and translator* that a big lens was pointing at our direction. no doubt, another spy shoot of me! lols ò_ó it was Con Foley’s big lens ^o^lols. a wildlife photographer whom i’d a great opportunity to meet on that day.

let’s be perfectly honest, no glamorous looking person can be seen here ó_ò hahah… ó_ò sweat was pouring my face, dripping into my eyes and camera’s viewfinder; i was feeling like i was inside of a turkish bath fully dressed… and hOly mOley, mites, ants and spiders had plugged my pores and, left annoying itching red pustules. lols and also in this marvelous technicolor scenario my hair was a soaking wet mess inside my hat. ^o^ but hey, i loved the show that was rolling in front of my eyes, although this performance was only for no more than 20minutes per day. ö_ö ö_ö ö_ö

okaaay, ô_õ aqui estou outra vez com a minha lente bazuca, ^o^lols eu estava a bordo neste barco minúsculo de fibra de vidro, com a minha equipe, quando o sr. Sempurno *o remador do barco* disse para o sr. Agus *meu guia local e tradutor* que uma lente grande estava em pontaria em nossa direção. sem dúvidas, outro spy shoot de mim! lols era a enorme lente de Con Foley ^o^lols. um fotógrafo da vida selvagem quem eu tive a grande oportunidade de conhecer nesse dia.

ò_ó sejamos perfeitamente honestos, nenhuma pessoa glamorosa pode ser vista aqui ó_ò ahuahuah…ó_ò suor diluviava meu rosto, goteja nos meus olhos e no visor da câmera; sentia-me como se eu estivesse no interior de um banho turco completamente vestida… e nOssa, pequenos parasitas, formigas e aranhas haviam plugado os meus poros e, deixaram pústulas vermelhas que coçavam irritantemente. lols e também neste maravilhoso cenário tecnicolorado, meus cabelos eram uma massa encharcada dentro do meu chapéu. ^O^ mas, êi, amei o show que rolava na frente dos meus olhos, ainda que este desempenho era só por não mais do que 20minutos por dia. ö_ö ö_ö ö_ö
