Em poucas palavras o arquiteto Oscar Niemeyer (1907-2012) resume o seu projeto para o Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Niterói - MAC-Niterói: "O terreno era estreito, cercado pelo mar e a solução aconteceu naturalmente, tendo como ponto de partida o apoio central inevitável. Dele, a arquitetura ocorreu espontânea como uma flor. A vista para o mar era belíssima e cabia aproveitá-la. E suspendi o edifício e sob ele o panorama se estendeu mais rico ainda. Defini então o perfil do museu. Uma linha que nasce do chão e sem interrupção cresce e se desdobra, sensual, até a cobertura. A forma do prédio, que sempre imaginei circular, se fixou e, no seu interior me detive apaixonado. À volta do museu criei uma galeria aberta para o mar, repetindo-a no segundo pavimento, como um mezanino debruçado sobre o grande salão de exposições".
O edifício - cuja construção é iniciada em 1991, na primeira gestão do prefeito Jorge Roberto da Silveira, quando Ítalo Campofiorito é secretário da Cultura - é a primeira obra que o museu oferece à contemplação. Localizado no alto do Mirante da Boa Viagem, na cidade de Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, a estrutura de linhas circulares do edifício apresenta-se como uma escultura de 16 metros de altura em praça aberta, em que o espelho-d'água colocado em sua base e a iluminação empregada conferem grande leveza. A rampa sinuosa externa conduz ao interior, com dois pavimentos. No segundo pavimento, estão a sala de exposições e a varanda panorâmica, envidraçada, também reservada para mostras. O mezanino, por sua vez, que circunda todo o interior do museu, é dividido em salas menores, destinadas a exposições. No subsolo, encontram-se uma área para armazenagem de obras, um bar, um restaurante e um auditório para conferências./Itau Cultural
Não sou um Fã ardoroso do Oscar Niemeyer, pois não gosto do modernismo, mas gosto muito de algumas de suas obras, a Catedral de Brasília e o MAC em Niterói, para mim são suas obras primas.

"Il palazzo S. Giuseppe di origine trecentesca, appartenne nel XIV secolo alla famiglia Chiaramonte; passato in proprietà ad altre famiglie, appartenne anche ai Bologna nel 1615; in quello stesso secolo fu dato in affitto alle monache francescane della Visitazione di Maria.
Pervenne infine ai Barlotta, principi di S.Giuseppe, alla fine del XVIII secolo. A metà dell'800 passò ai Wolle, quindi fu suddiviso in appartamenti."
da "palermo la città ritrovata - itinerari entro le mura" di Adriana Chirco - Dario Flaccovio Editore
In questo edificio in via S. Agostino, secondo quanto mi è stato detto da un vecchio della zona, si effettuavano le visite mediche per il servizio militare.
Quì inoltre vi fu una sede della LUX FILM, una delle più importanti case cinematografiche italiane.
With storm clouds approaching from the west I was ready to give up on the nights plans for photographing the super full moon, but fortunately David Wang was already on the road when I called and so I decided to take my chances and meet him down by the river. It was a warm and balmy evening as the thickening clouds repeatedly hid then revealed the moon in interesting ways. In-between moon appearances we were entertained by geese and goslings, a beaver, along with a variety of boats and kayakers making their way along the river. It turned out to be a great night along the river. NB13403,05 - Happy Moonlight Mondays!

Rather nice panoramic view "up" O'Connell Street from the top of Nelson's Pillar. We think this was taken around 1950, but would love confirmation or suggestions to the contrary.
Very surprised when I zoomed in to see that the clock actually said Clery's Store - referred to by generations solely as Clery's!
Date: Circa 1957/1958 and no later than 1961/62 (thanks to DannyM8, Mr Tayto, Archiseek).

I've been to London for a training course, and just after the course I went outside to take this picture (I attended the course into one of those buildings). I was really amazed on how long the "blue hour" lasts in London, it may really lasts one hour actually... :-) In Italy even in June the "magic light" only lasts for less than one hour... and that's a pity, since I have really few time for my long exposures. :-(
This picture is the result of a lot of work: 6 long exposure stacked (3 with ND8 filter and 3 without) for a total of 300 seconds. I have then enhanced reflections and sharpness in Photoshop.
Many thanks to Francesco and Paolo for supporting me in taking this picture. A big thank you also to Daniel Borg which I had the opportunity to know in London, he is very friendly and shared some hints on how to reach this location: make sure you don't miss his photostream, since he is a great photographer.

Sono stato a Londra per un corso di formazione e subito dopo il corso sono andato scattare questa foto (ho frequentato il corso in uno di quegli edifici).
Sono rimasto davvero stupito da quanto duri "l'ora blu" a Londra, circa un'ora per la precisione... :-) In Italia dura molto, ma molto meno... una mezzoretta scarsa anche in giugno quando si è vicini all'equinozio... è davvero un peccato per le mie esposizioni lunghe. :-)
Questa foto è il risultato di 6 diverse esposizioni (3 con filtro ND8 e 3 senza) per un totale di circa 300 secondi (il mio amico Luca starà pensando che ho montato il cavalleto prima che costruissero i palazzi...). In Photoshop, dopo aver sovrapposto e allineato gli scatti, ho lavorato con le maschere per migliorare il contrasto dei riflessi.
Un ringraziamento speciale a Paolo e Francesco per avermi supportato nello scatto. Un grosso ringraziamento anche per Daniel Borg che ho avuto l'opportunità di conoscere personalmente a Londra, è stato davvero gentile a condividere alcuni dei suoi "trucchetti" e soprattutto grazie per avermi dato delle indicazioni su come raggiungere questo punto di ripresa. Mi raccomando, fate un giro nel suo photostream, ha molto talento.

Palacio Real es la obra cumbre del rey Carlos III "el Noble" (1387-1425) y el emblema más representativo del viejo Reino de Navarra.
El Palacio es un complejo conjunto irregular de torres, estancias, galerías, jardines y patios que le confieren un aspecto anárquico y una singular silueta que sobresale sobre el caserío de la ciudad. A pesar de esa aparente anarquía el aspecto exterior es majestuoso.

A few of us came upon these Barred Owls grooming each other while we were doing a spring bird survey. It was fascinating to see how they were being so gentle with each other. I was hiding behind a tree so as not to disturb the birds.
The light was terrible and I don't use flash on owls, so I had to crank up the ISO and hope for the best. Handheld at 1/60 sec.

Esas mosquitas son muy divertidas........siempre hay varias por esta época en cada flor de Arenaria montana y cuando notan que se acerca la cámara se esconden rapidamente bajo sus pétalos, asi que normalmente siempre que las fotografío aparecen como mucho dos.......pero esta vez se ve que las cogí despistadas.
A esta flor en castellano se la llama Ala de mosca muerta y me pregunto que relación habrá.......igual con tanto overbooking se dejan las alas por el camino.
Y las mosquitas casi seguro que son del género Hybos .....es una intuición.......

Thinking about all my peeps today... Especially those who are not around any more to share a glass of wine or a laugh. Maybe watching the Dave Allen documentary last night had something to do with it!

Starbucks Coffee Company recently invited me to make a presentation about night photography for its internal photography club. It was a terrific event for which I had nearly a month to prepare. I was never nervous once until a few seconds after the presentation started. A bout of apprehensiveness struck me, which was really all in my head. Nothing unfortunate or embarrassing occurred!
Fortunately, I had a very good-natured and engaging audience. After a brief microphone sound-check took place two minutes into the discussion, and a few playful quips into the mic (i.e. Recall Joey’s popular quote from the “Friends” television series, “How You Doin’???”), I was ready to go! Laughter from the audience is always reassuring.
There was a turnout of approximately 70 individuals, and the head of the photo club told me he couldn’t remember the last time a presenter received audible applause at the conclusion of a presentation. I thought I could have done a lot better, but the overall feedback I received was -- to my delight -- extremely positive. Like most human beings, I am my own worst critic. On top of that, amidst the preparation, I was exhausted from multiple aspects of my daily routine from the previous month leading to the event. No complaints, though. Every minute and every second of this photography venture has been worth the effort.
If you would like to see the “Introduction to Night Photography” presentation (revised to target an online audience) and the concluding photo video, both are currently on my official blog. Pictures taken during the presentation are posted there as well. If anything, viewers can take humor in my nerdy voice and fashion sense. Please feel free to share the presentation and video with your friends and colleagues.

The Photo:
This is a view of Seattle’s SoDo (South Downtown) neighborhood, which is essentially the city’s warehouse district adjacent to Harbor Island, which serves as the Port of Seattle. Starbucks’ world headquarters is located in SoDo. I love the bright lights of the port in combination with the thick clouds engulfing the Olympic Mountains along the horizon.
Even Seattle’s warehouse district has an alluring charm!

To see the extraordinary panorama of Lake Garda, nothing is better than the hiking path from Campione to Prapione. A view on Mount Baldo - 2218m in the clouds with a spectacular panoramic terrace overlooking Lake Garda. Mountain hiking or trekking is an adventure and an experience that brings you in contact with the mountains and nature. Since some itineraries can be difficult for an amateur or untrained excursionist or mountain climber, caution is advised. Starting out from Campione, along the right banks of the Campione River, is trail nr. 267 of the Bassa via del Garda - Lower Garda Route with a series of steps that lead to a tunnel, make sure you have a flashlight with you and a communication trench between a canal and a deep ravine. Leaving the metal bridge to your right, you proceed along trail nr. 266 for Prabione, which is right up against the rocks. Gradually, the panorama opens on the valley. Due to the influence of Lake Garda's climate, the mountain is home to many different natural environments: from Mediterranean shrubs and bushes to Alpine pastures and rocky peaks. This is why Mount Baldo covered in clouds is called The Garden of Europe and is a genuine link between the Alps and the Mediterranean.
Lake Garda hiking is brilliant with so many spectacular places to go for a hike. The stunning mountains around the top part of the lake offers awesome views. Photo of the hiking path Prabione to Campione. Total difference in height round trip: 940 m - duration 4 hrs. See map.

Natuurlijk is het Gardameer uitermate geschikt voor watersport, maar ook lange wandelingen in de natuur. De keten van het Monte Baldo gebergte rondom het Gardameer is één van de belangrijkste van de Vooralpen. Beide hellingen van de Monte Baldo hierboven in de wolken aan Veronese zijde zijn verschillend. Het westelijke deel is kaal, stijl, vol spleten en met weinig mooie bossen. Het oostelijke deel is minder stijl en heeft langgerekte dalen met groene weiden en bossen. Vanaf de nabijgelegen dorpje Prapione heeft u een adembenemend uitzicht over het Gardameer. Je kan dit dorpje te voet bereiken vanaf Campione langs verschillende bergweggetjes. Langs de rechter oever van de rivier de Campione, is weg nr. 267 van de Bassa via del Garda - Lagere Garda route. De weg voert door het bos langs een muur via smalle, maar goed begaanbare treden naar een uit de rotsen geklopte tunnel zorg voor een zaklantaarn, bij een buizensysteem dat bij een waterkrachtcentrale die vroeger de katoenspinnerij van Campione verzorgde hoort. De bergen aan de linker- en de rechterzijde vormen een wilde, romantische kloof, waar-over na nog eens 20 minuten een brug voert. Na het verlaten van de metalen brug rechts van je, ga je verder langs parcour nr. 266 richting Prabione, die recht omhoog gaat tegen de rotsen. Geleidelijk aan opent het panorama van deze prachtige vallei vanwaar men een grandioos uitzicht heeft over het Gardameer en op Monte Baldo - 2218m. Je wandelt hier langs olijfbomen en kastanjes, langs steile afgronden of naar hoge bergtoppen. De natuur is afwisselend en het uitzicht is vaak adembenemend.

We've seen shots of Nelson's Pillar before, but usually in the distance or in a state of chassis following its blowing up in March 1966, so I was delighted to find this fine view of it in our Eason Collection.
This photo also gives us a joyous assortment of trams - the no. 8 to Dalkey; the no. 29 to Fairview; the no. 20 to Rialto Bridge; and I think the no. 3 to Westland Row and Ringsend; and a car with reg. no. IK 9729.
There's also an infuriatingly obscured news poster which seems to be screaming about "Startling Evidence"!

Castelsardo è una suggestiva cittadina che sorge sul mare, e proprio il mare ne ha segnato la storia. Il paese è stato utilizzato come roccaforte difensiva e punto strategico di controllo. L’antico borgo conserva ancora la sua struttura di roccaforte medievale, con imponenti bastioni, ripide scale e strette vie.
Sulla sommità dell’altopiano si erge la fortezza del Castello dei Doria, che ospita il Museo dell’intreccio mediterraneo.
INVITO TUTTI GLI AMICI A TAGGARSI DA SOLI NELLE CASE O NELLE BARCHE ;-)))!!
Buona vacanza a Castelsardo, io vi aspetto!

We had a wonderful stay in Casoli. Situated in a small Italian village on a mountain. Parking can be done in front of the church of Casoli. You can only walk in Casoli cause the roads are much too small for cars. There is a supermarket at the local bar at the start of Casoli. The house Casa Bressan where we stayed is a typical old Italian house but totally renovated. It has a kitchen, living and dining area, bathrooms and four bedrooms. You can enjoy the private patio with garden furniture. It's a lovely place to spend your holidays. The summer evenings are cool in this mountainous area. You have a beautiful view on the green and steep mountains. The owner can speak good English. The people in this little town are friendly and makes you feel right at home. A place with a real Italian atmosphere. The beach can be reached by a half hour drive. We really enjoyed our stay in this typical and beautiful village Casoli. Excellent place to stay if you want to learn about the Italian culture and live their way.
Casoli is located to the northwest of Florence, 500 meters above sealevel. We stayed in this little town at Casa Bressan - Casoli no. 122. We had a pleasant and comfortable stay.
Ons vakantiehuis Casa Bressan Camaiore ligt gelegen in de heuvels tussen Lucca en de Toscaanse kust. Het vakantiehuis is gezellig ingericht en bestaat uit 3 verdiepingen. Daarnaast is er een balkon, een privé terras en tuinmeubilair. Het biedt een rustig verblijf en je voelt je gelijk thuis. Het is een kleurrijk vakantiehuis in Casoli, een klein dorpje op 7km afstand van Camaiore. De zomeravonden zijn lekker koel in dit bergachtige gebied. Je hebt hier een prachtig uitzicht op de groene en steile bergen. De eigenaar kan goed Engels spreken. De mensen in dit dorpje zijn vriendelijk en maakt dat u zich thuis voelen. Een plek met een echte Italiaanse sfeer. Het is niet ver verwijderd van de Toscaanse kust. Een half uur rijden vanaf de kust. We hebben echt genoten van ons verblijf in dit typisch en mooie dorp Casoli. Uitstekende plek om te verblijven als je meer wilt weten over de Italiaanse cultuur en eventjes op hun manier wilt leven.
Spring seems to be dragging an anchor through a frozen, snow covered field, but I am confident it will arrive and produce more scenes like this one.

El nombre de Gerbera proviene de un médico y jardinero aficionado danés, Trangott Gerber.
Parecen enormes margaritas, con una paleta de colores inmensa y se cultivan sobre todo para confecionar ramos y arreglos florales. La especie más usual para flor cortada es la Gerbera jamesonii, especie a la que pertenecen estas fotos.
Aunque realmente los ejemplares de jardinería son híbridos entre la Gerbera jamesonii y otra especie sudafricana, la Gerbera viridifolia.
Necesita estar a pleno sol y no tolera el frio ni el exceso de agua. Entre 20 y 25º C es la temperatura ideal para que la planta de abundantes flores.
Como curiosidad es de las flores más usadas comercialmente para arreglos y ramos, después de la rosa, el clavel, el crisantemo y el tulipán.......ocupa el quinto lugar como "flor de corte".

Glen Coe is a glen in the Highlands of Scotland.
It lies in the southern part of the Lochaber committee area of Highland Council, and was formerly part of the county of Argyll. It is often considered one of the most spectacular and beautiful places in Scotland, and is a part of the designated National Scenic Area of Ben Nevis and Glen Coe. The narrow glen shows a grim grandeur.
The glen, approaching from the east on the main A82 road, is surrounded by wild and precipitous mountains. Further west at Invercoe, the landscape has a softer beauty before the main entrance to the glen. The main settlement is the nearby village of Glencoe located in Carnoch.
The name Glen Coe is often said to mean "Glen of Weeping", perhaps with some reference to the infamous Massacre of Glencoe which took place there in 1692. However, "Gleann Comhann" does not translate as "Glen of Weeping". In fact the Glen is named after the River Coe which runs through it, and bore this name long before the 1692 incident. The name of the river is believed to predate the Gaelic language and its meaning is not known. One possibility is that it was named after a tribe once living in the area; however this remains speculation.

Povera patria! Schiacciata dagli abusi del potere
di gente infame, che non sa cos'è il pudore,
si credono potenti e gli va bene
quello che fanno e tutto gli appartiene.
Tra i governanti, quanti perfetti e inutili buffoni!
...
...
Si può sperare che il mondo torni a quote più normali
che possa contemplare il cielo e i fiori,
che non si parli più di dittature
se avremo ancora un po' da vivere...
...la primavera intanto tarda ad arrivare.

Mi piace la gente che non guarda se l’erba del vicino è più verde, bensì cura con amore il proprio giardino.
Mi piace la gente che ogni giorno ringrazia il mondo d’avere il pane sulla tavola pensando non sia poi così scontato…
Mi piace la gente che prega per i propri affetti, ma anche per i propri nemici, affinché trovino la strada della luce.
Mi piace la gente che sa scrollarti di dosso la fatica con un sorriso…
E infine, mi piace la gente che non ha bisogno di troppe parole perché con gesto, mi sa riempire un silenzio.
