the city hummed outside, alive with the season's buzz, yet here, behind glass and strings of colored light, was stillness. the bokeh of a thousand tiny bulbs blurred into an electric haze, framing a man who sat quietly, detached from the festive chaos. his eyes drifted sideways, lost in thought, as if the lights had stolen his attention but not his heart.
there’s a story in his hands, wrapped around a half-eaten meal. the kind of moment caught in transit—between the glow of holiday cheer and the weight of something heavier. madrid’s pulse continued on, neon reflections bouncing off the glass, but in this corner of the night, time slowed. the decorations tried to bring joy, but they felt distant, merely an echo of warmth.
beneath the cold, muted tones of a coat and hat, there was a flicker of warmth. but it wasn’t from the season—it was from the human condition, the quiet battles we all carry, unnoticed in the noise.
The past few months I've been stuck between two worlds, neither seem to appeal to me - a world of dreams, and one filled to the brim with reality.
This nice sunrise over Dungarvan in County Waterford Ireland was one straight out of the camera.

I often find that the story to a photo is just as good or interesting as the photo it self.
We stumbled across this run down cottage while walking down an empty lane. The condition wasn't right at the time and only fog would do, so the wait was on. On our last full day of the holiday, we got a small chance of fog. A quick visit to Wistmans resulted in a clear sky, so we headed to this little cottage and I got what I wanted. Sometimes you wait days, weeks or months, even years for the right conditions. On this holiday we got everything but snow.
The sun performs fiery pyrotechnics with the atmosphere as it forges the first sunrise of 2025 from the vantage point of Cathedral Rocks, Sedona, Arizona.
We attempted to experience this hike a few days previously and were thwarted by general ignorance and a lazy, late start to our day. When I circled the roundabout to make the turn off the main road and down to the trailhead at about 10:30 in the morning, we encountered a man in a brightly colored vest and a row of traffic cones strategically placed to block the road. Evidently we had failed to appreciate the logistics needed to undertake this hike during an epic crush of holiday tourists.
Stung by ineptitude, we regrouped and resolved to rise early and make the hike to the viewpoint for sunrise on New Year’s Day. Arriving at the trailhead before any light was visible on the horizon, we noticed several other vehicles already parked. Original ideas are apparently hard to generate. There is one section on the route to this viewpoint that requires hands to negotiate, and our young pup was not at all pleased with the situation. With camera gear on my back, I tucked him under one arm and climbed up with my free hand. He is 45 lbs now (20 kg), and if he gets much heavier he’ll be on his own to figure out issues such as this in the future.
Not long after gaining the viewpoint, which sits between the two sandstone buttes that comprise the Cathedral Rocks formation, the sun began to breathe light into the sky on the desert horizon. Another family and a few smaller groups milled about making soft exclamations. It is a fine thing to be alive and sentient in this vibrant world.
And a finer thing to leave this world better than when we came into it. Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day to all.

Almost winter, and I still have a number of fall pictures to work through.
Thanks for looking!

Love these sorts of mornings when the weather helps transform ordinary scenes into possible works of art
Il Sacro Monte si trova in un contesto paesaggistico straordinario, su un promontorio boscoso che si protende nel lago di Orta. Venti cappelle immerse nella natura illustrano con sculture e pitture gli episodi della vita di San Francesco, distribuite lungo un percorso che si snoda sulla cima del monte, aprendo spettacolari vedute sul lago e sull'isola di San Giulio.
La prima idea della comunità di realizzare un itinerario religioso sul modello del Sacro Monte di Varallo risale al 1583, ma si concretizzò soltanto nel 1590 grazie all’apporto dell’abate novarese Amico Canobio e al progetto dell'architetto cappuccino Cleto da Castelletto Ticino. Tra il 1593 e il 1615 il vescovo di Novara Carlo Bascapé divenne il vero protagonista del cantiere, decidendo la successione di scene da realizzare all'interno delle cappelle, stabilendo con Cleto da Castelletto la struttura architettonica del complesso e chiamando ad Orta artisti di notevole fama.
Le statue e i dipinti del Sacro Monte compongono scene di grande realismo, dove le atmosfere intime e naturali tipiche dell'arte lombarda di primo Seicento si combinano con la vivace teatralità barocca di fine secolo. Tra gli artisti che lavorarono al Sacro Monte di Orta, spiccano i Fiammenghini, il Morazzone, Cristoforo Prestinari, i fratelli d’Enrico, Dionigi Bussola e i fratelli Nuvolone.
Il percorso di visita termina all'interno della chiesa di San Nicolao, edificio proto-romanico, completamente rimodellato nel corso del XVII secolo ad imitazione della Basilica inferiore di Assisi, che ospita l'antico gruppo ligneo della Madonna della Pietà (XIV secolo).
La bellezza del paesaggio, il silenzio e il rapporto armonico tra arte, architettura e natura riflettono pienamente la spiritualità francescana.
The Sacro Monte is located in a charming landscape, on a promontory overlooking Lake Orta. A sequence of twenty chapels surrounded by nature illustrates some episodes of the life of St. Francis, with sculptures and paintings. The chapels are distributed along a route that runs along the hilltop, offering spectacular views on the lake and on San Giulio Island.
The first idea for a Sacro Monte in Orta dates back to 1583, modelled after the religious itinerary of the Sacro Monte of Varallo. It only became reality in 1590, thanks to the contribution of Abbot Amico Canobio from Novara, and according to the project of Capuchin architect Cleto from Castelletto Ticino. From 1593 to 1615, Bishop Carlo Bascapé of Novara became the main actor of the building process, setting an indelible stamp on the Sacro Monte. He established the sequence of mysteries to be built inside the chapels, he defined the architecture of the complex, in close cooperation with Cleto, and he invited renowned artists to work in Orta.
Statues and paintings create scenes of deep realism: the intimate and natural atmospheres typical of early seventeenth-century Lombard art are combined with the lively theatrical Baroque style of the end of the century. Among the artists that worked at the Sacro Monte of Orta, we can remember the Fiammenghinis, Morazzone, Cristoforo Prestinari, the d’Enricos, Dionigi Bussola and the Nuvolone brothers.
The route ends at the Church of San Nicolao, a proto-Romanesque building, completely redesigned during the seventeenth century to recreate the spaces of the lower Basilica of Assisi. The Church houses an ancient group of wooden statues representing Our Lady of Mercy (XIV century).
The beauty of the landscape, its silence and harmonious balance between art, architecture and nature mirror the essence of Franciscan spirituality.
