Taking it easy on a Friday evening, a pair of aged workhorses trundle their way home to Preston along the Fergus spur. Mile 27 sits just about one quarter mile west of the former settlement of Gourock. Originally founded circa 1857 just after the building of the Galt & Guelph Railway (leased to the Great Western upon completion), the settlement included a post office, general store, and a flag stop on the railway, but little else. The post office ceased to be in 1913, and the flag stop too was gone shortly after, not shown in the 1920 Grand Trunk Railway timetables. Any inhabitants made their way north to Guelph, and some a few miles south to the lime quarry town at Glen Christie.
The morning of September 22, 1906 saw a fatal head on collision at Gourock within a few hundred feet of the photo linked above. An extra train loaded with fruit from St. Catharines had failed to take the siding at Hespeler to clear the main for train 44, the mixed from Guelph. Neither crew saw the oncoming train until just a few hundred feet from impact. Engineer Thomas Farley on #44 was crushed in the cab, his fireman, Lorne Palmer, jumped clear. On the extra, engineer Mark Reid, brakeman Harry Andrews, and fireman Cecil Bright all jumped, suffering full body scalding and Cecil suffering numerous broken bones. All were transported to Guelph for medical care. Reid and Andrews would recover, while Cecil Bright succumbed to his injuries at Guelph General Hospital on September 25. The ten passengers onboard 44 sustained only minor injuries. Factors of the wreck included crew fatigue and working hours as the conductor of the extra, Joe Thompson, had fallen asleep after being on duty for twenty two hours, and his exhausted engineer had forgotten a meet was imminent.

Guelph - Eramosa, ON.
Thanksgiving Day is still more than a week into the future, but this San Luis Obispo store is already in a Christmas mood!...
The Ah Louis Store was listed in the National Register of Historic Places (ref# 08000203) on March 26, 2008.
Ah Louis (1840-1936), a.k.a. Wong On, was a Chinese immigrant who was an important figure in the community.
Built after the Civil War to take advantage of the traffic along the Santa Fe Trail, Simmons Point Stage Station obviously is in disrepair and will soon be a pile of rubble.
This picture shows how much this building has deteriorated in in five years. . This photo was taken sometime in the mid 90s.

I'm sharing here on Flickr a (long) series of photos, taken in early August this year, during a short vacation in Calabria, at a holiday village located near a beach I've been frequenting with my family for several years now, during our short summer vacations. The setting, however, is very different from the beaches I normally frequent near my home in Taormina, with very crowded beaches and a sea that is also very popular with yachtsmen of all kinds. In this part of Calabria, the beaches are rarely crowded (except on weekends, but not too much). In short, it's a sort of almost tropical paradise, with very little yachting. Adjacent to the holiday village is a kitesurfing club, very popular with enthusiasts of this wonderful sport, which thrives on the sea and the wind. I photographed an 84-year-old kitesurfer, whose mettle is steely, still giving athletes much younger than him a run for their money. A friendly and sweet horsewoman from the nearby stables arrived unexpectedly in the beach village, accompanied by her father, both astride two magnificent colts. This created a moment of joy and curiosity for both the parents and their little ones, who were likely seeing these magnificent and docile animals up close and personal for the first time. Unexpectedly, a very special party broke out on the beach. Seeing it made me feel like I was no longer in Calabria, but rather transported to the other side of the globe, to the Hindu festival called Holi, with its throwing of colored powders (in India, this festival marks the end of winter and the arrival of spring, as well as symbolizing the victory of good over evil). I know it thanks to the evocative photographs often published on various photography websites.
I'll end by briefly mentioning the photographic technique I've often used in my photographs. I've created "blur" photographs—blurry, slightly blurry, and unfocused—at the time of shooting, simply by lengthening the exposure time and then also using some panning. Finally, I'd like to thank the sweet and beautiful models who posed for me, allowing me to further enhance this (long-winded) photographic story.

Propongo qui su Flickr, una (lunga) serie di foto, realizzate nei primi giorni di Agosto di quest’anno, durante una mia breve vacanza in Calabria, in un villaggio vacanze sito a ridosso di una spiaggia che oramai frequento insieme alla mia famiglia, durante le nostre brevi vacanze estive, da diversi anni, fotografie quindi aventi per tema la “beach photography”; purtuttavia l’ambientazione è molto diversa rispetto alle spiagge che frequento normalmente vicino casa mia a Taormina, con spiagge molto affollate, il mare anch’esso super frequentato da diportismo nautico di ogni tipo, in questa zona della Calabria le spiagge sono invece poco frequentate (tranne il fine settimana, ma neanche troppo), insomma, una specie di Paradiso quasi tropicale, con pochissime imbarcazioni. Adiacente al villaggio vacanze c’è un club di Kitesurf, molto frequentato da appassionati di questo meraviglioso sport, sport che si nutre di mare e di vento. Ho fotografato un kitesurfer di 84 anni, la cui tempra è di acciaio, che dà ancora molto filo da torcere ad atleti molto più giovani di lui. Nel villaggio a sorpresa è arrivata una simpatica e dolce cavallerizza proveniente dal vicino maneggio, con lei anche il suo papà, entrambi a cavallo di due magnifici puledri, creando un momento di allegria e curiosità, sia per i genitori, che per i loro piccoli, per i quali, molto probabilmente, era la prima volta che potevano vedere da vicino, e poterli anche toccare, questi magnifici e docili animali. A sorpresa, inaspettatamente, sulla spiaggia ha preso vita un party molto particolare, nel vederlo mi sembrava di non essere più in Calabria, ma di essere stato proiettato dall’altro lato del globo, in quella festa Indù chiamata Holi, con lancio di polveri colorate (in India questa festa segna la fine dell'inverno e l'arrivo della primavera, oltre a simboleggiare la vittoria del bene sul male), festa che conosco grazie a fotografie molto suggestive spesso pubblicate sui vari siti fotografici.
Termino accennando brevemente alla tecnica fotografica che ho spesso adottato nel realizzare le mie fotografie, ho realizzato al momento dello scatto fotografie del tipo “blur”, cioè mosse, un po’ confuse, non incise, ottenute allungando i tempi di esposizione. Infine ringrazio le dolcissime e belle modelle, che hanno voluto posare per me, consentendomi di rendere più grazioso questo mio (prolisso) racconto fotografico.

Im so stoked for the new season of breaking bad. the walt fig is still a wip, he needs glasses and his hat. but i suck at painting glasses. k. the bags of meth are about the size of a penny, and can open and close at the top, as they are made from actual ziplock bags. i cut up the bags, melted the sides shut, and cut up clear and blue peices. sorry for the bad photography of the bags. they were very difficult to get a good photo of :P i stayed up almost all night last night watching season 5 on netflix, as they just added it. the whole time, i was cutting up translucent pieces and making little bags. enjoy!

Enjoy the tranquility of this remote island which feels a world away from the rest of the Grid. Spend time on the secluded beach or take a stroll on the moors. Visit the isolated church on top of the hill and enjoy some reflective time alone.

Continuing my Titanfall 2 builds, I can present to you the ridiculously hard-hitting Titan Legion.
Legion is the first Titan I build, which is based on the heavy Ogre chassis from the first game. This allowed me to use some sturdier joints and hinges, which comes in handy to hold the big gatling gun.
I also did some minor changes to Ion, updated his pictures and added one of his back.
Since this is my last build for this year, I just want to use this opportunity to say: THANK YOU! :)
2016 marks my first really active year on flickr and I was absolutely blown away by the amazing feedback!
I want to thank all the people who visited my Photostream, who commented, who added my pictures to their favourites and especially my followers and the people who take their time to read all of the nonsense I write :D
I truly appreciate being part of such a great and active community!
I wish you all happy holidays and a wonderful start into the new year!

**U.S. Grant Birthplace and Grant Commemorative Sites Historic District** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 98001013, date listed 8/6/1998
NY 232 and US 52
Point Pleasant, OH (Clermont County)
The properties comprising U.S. Grant's Birthplace and Grant Commemorative Sites Historic District in Pt. Pleasant, Ohio, are significant under Criterion A for their role in commemorating the birth of Ulysses S. Grant, president, West Point graduate and Union general, and under Criterion Consideration F as commemorative monuments within the context of U. S. Grant iconography. The birthplace, memorial park and related commemorative sites represent places associated with Grant's birth in Clermont County and also as twentieth century tourist-related sites which in their own right have come to physically symbolize his Clermont County heritage.
The Grant Birthplace (ca. 1820, 1936)
The Grant Birthplace is a vernacular, one-story, three-bay, timber-frame building with a limestone foundation. The house has a wood-shingled, end-gable roof with no eaves. The balanced, east-facing facade consists of a center door framed by single 6 over 6 double hung windows. (1)

**Augusta Canal Industrial District** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 71000285, date listed 5/27/1971
Along the west bank of the Savannah River from the Richmond-Columbia county line to 10th and Fenwick Sts.
GA (Columbia County)
A National Historic Landmark (www.nps.gov/subjects/nationalhistoriclandmarks/list-of-nh...).
The Augusta Canal is a nine-mile power and water-supply canal paralleling the Georgia banks of the Savannah River. Approximately half of its course is through wilderness, which may become a park, and the remainder passes through and provides interest for downtown Augusta. It originates at a Lock and Dam, stretches past Lake Olmstead, and then winds through downtown Augusta before rejoining the Savannah River. From the point of origin, its overall fall is 45 feet divided among three levels.
Originally the Canal was five feet deep, 20 feet wide at the bottom and 40 feet at surface. A low dam (800 feet in length) made of timber and stone turned water into the Canal. The water flow was regulated by a stone guard-wall containing six gates. Boats passed into the Canal through a stone located at the juncture of the dam and guard-wall. Water was let into the first level on November 23, 1846.
The history of the Augusta Canal and the history of Augusta are closely linked. Augusta, located along the Fall Line, was established in 1735 and prospered due to the income available from Savannah River trading traffic. However, with the coming of the railroads in the 1830's, river traffic began to dwindle and a few public-minded citizens feared for Augusta's future. Col Henry H. Cumming, a leading attorney and citizen, studied ways to use Savannah River water power and along with several Augusta banks and citizens urged the construction of a canal to provide power for factories and a plentiful supply of water for the city. Surveying was begun in 1844 and by November 23, 1846, water was flooded into the first level. (1)

Although the "Islander" had been published since 1842, John Ings first published the newspaper from the 108 Water Street location in 1847. It was a general newspaper but with a Conservative viewpoint. His paper rivalled the Liberal inclined, "Examiner" in its political views. The "Islander" was published from this site every Friday until 1873, when Ings retired. LINK to a photo of the building - s3.amazonaws.com/gs-waymarking-images/d072b462-e7cc-40b2-...
This elegant portrait looks like a photograph of a painting (and it may well be) but the item in the collection is a delicate glass negative that must be handled with extreme care! Sir Francis Richard Cruise appears to have been a Victorian gentleman from his dress but that is all that I can say about him. Who was he and why is he in the Irish Political Figures collection?
Sincere apologies from Evening Mary. This one slipped through my wriggling, jam-packed net. Our catalogue led us astray, saying that the above gentleman was Sir Francis Cruise. Thankfully our neighbours at No. 6 Kildare Street – the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland – steered us correctly. This is actually Sir Dominic Corrigan, President of the RCPI from 1859-1864...

After Ronin , I finished my second Titan from Titanfall 2: Northstar
Of all the Titans from Titanfall 2 Northstar is, in my opinion, the most unique looking.
This nimble Titan is also the only one who is able to fly, so I depicted it hovering.
The most difficult part was probably the eye, but I am really happy with how it turned out.
Here is a reference picture reference picture

The moustached Patroclus squats on his shield. The beardless Achilles crouches down to don - around his comrade's arrow-injured left upper arm - a white, two-rolled bandage.
Patroclus has obviously been wounded by the arrow in the bottom left of the icon which both of the heroes seem to stare at. Patroclus looks straight at the feathers of the cubit-long arrow, Achilles' line of sight seems to go to the heart-shaped arrowhead.
The seven letters ΑΧΥΛΕΥϚ are written clockwise, the nine letters ϚΟΛΚΟΡΤΑΠ anticlockwise. The spelling of the word Achilles as AXYLEYS is homeric; the use of capital letters archaic; especially the capital letter Stigma {_Ϛ_} at both of the endings of their hellenic names is striking.
This piece of pottery is incribed with ΣΟΣΙΑΣ ΕΠΟΙΗΣΕΝ ('Sosias created (it)'). His kylix was discovered in Vulci and is exhibited in Altes Museum, Berlin.

► Harmodius was in the flower of youth, and Aristogeiton, a citizen of the middle class, became his Lover ... γενομένου δὲ Ἁρμοδίου ὥρᾳ ἡλικίας λαμπροῦ Ἀριστογείτων ἀνὴρ τῶν ἀστῶν, μέσος πολίτης, ἐραστὴς ὢν εἶχεν αὐτόν. (Thucydides Histories 6.54)
► Harmodios (Ἁρμόδιος) & Aristogeiton (Ἀριστογείτων) --> Cassius & Brutus were two men from ancient Athens. They became known as the Tyrannicides (τυραννοκτόνοι) after they killed the Peisistratid tyrant Hipparchus, and were the preeminent symbol of democracy to ancient Athenians....The principal historical sources covering the two are Thucydides in his History of the Peloponnesian War (VI, 56-59) and The Constitution of the Athenians (XVIII) attributed to Aristotle or his school, ... Herodotus (Histories, Book V. 55) claimed that Harmodius and Aristogeiton presumably were "Gephyraeans" i.e. Boeotians of Syrian or Phoenician origin. Plutarch in his book On the malice of Herodotus criticized Herodotus for prejudice and misrepresentation and he argued that Harmodius and Aristogeiton were Euboeans or Eretrians.[
.... haben im Jahr 514 v. Chr. in Athen den Tyrannen Hipparch ermordet.... Nachdem Peisistratos im Jahr 528 in hohem Alter eines natürlichen Todes gestorben war, ging die Herrschaft auf seine Söhne über. Es gibt keine Anzeichen dafür, dass in diesem Moment die Tyrannis der Peisistratiden gefährdet gewesen wäre. Von nun an hielt Hippias als der Ältere die Herrschaft in seinen Händen, an der aber auch Hipparch beteiligt war. [...] Zu einer Gefährdung ihrer Herrschaft kam es erst, als Hipparch, der „lebenslustige und zu Liebschaften geneigte“ jüngere Tyrann, Harmodios kennenlernte, einen Aristokraten aus der Familie der Gephyräer. Um ihn, den Thukydides mit den Worten charakterisiert, er sei von einer „strahlenden Jugend“ gewesen, bemühte sich Hipparch nach Kräften. Seine Anträge aber blieben erfolglos, weil Harmodios seinem Liebhaber Aristogeiton die Treue hielt.
Nach dem Tod Cäsars versuchten die Athener, sich auf die richtige Seite zu stellen. Um Cassius und Brutus auszuzeichnen, haben sie die Heroen ihrer Geschichte ins Spiel gebracht, Harmodios und Aristogeiton, die Athen von der Tyrannis befreit haben sollten. Ein Fragment der Inschrift von der Basis der Brutus-Statue ist 1936 gefunden worden und belegt, dass die Zeit zwischen der Ankunft des Brutus in Griechenland im August 44 v. Chr. und den Niederlagen der Cäsarmörder bei Philippi im Oktober und November 42 v. Chr. ausgereicht hat, den Beschluss auch auszuführen.
Später erst konnte man wissen, dass Cassius und Brutus mit ihrem Attentat letztlich erfolglos bleiben sollten, dass sie zwar Cäsar ermorden, aber die Monarchie in Rom nicht verhindern konnten. Bis zum Anschlag auf Cäsar waren Harmodios und Aristogeiton, wie Cicero schreibt, auch in Rom »in aller Munde«. Dann aber wurde die Tat von Cassius und Brutus zu dem Attentat der Antike, auf das man in Zukunft Bezug nahm, um das Problem von Tyrannenherrschaft und Tyrannenmord zu diskutieren. In diesem Zusammenhang wurden dann Harmodios und Aristogeiton nur noch selten erwähnt.
After the establishment of democracy, Cleisthenes commissioned the sculptor Antenor to produce a bronze statue group of Harmodius and Aristogeiton... ---> Philosophie und Politik im archaischen und klassischen Griechenland, SoSe2011, Frieder Otto Wolf

Aeschylus Μυρμιδόνες: Achilles & Patroclus {-(Pseudo-)Lukian, Ἔρωτες 54
ἐρωτικὸς γὰρ ἦν, εἴπερ τις, καὶ ὁ Σωκράτης, καὶ ὑπὸ μίαν Ἀλκιβιάδης αὐτῷ χλανίδα κλιθεὶς οὐκ ἀπλὴξ ἀνέστη. καὶ μὴ θαυμάσῃς· οὐδὲ γὰρ ὁ Πάτροκλος ὑπ᾽ Ἀχιλλέως ἠγαπᾶτο μέχρι τοῦ καταντικρὺ καθέζεσθαι
// δέγμενος Αἰακίδην, ὁπότε λήξειεν ἀείδων, //
{{quotation out of Homer's Ilias 9.191}}
ἀλλ᾽ ἦν καὶ τῆς ἐκείνων φιλίας μεσῖτις ἡδονή· στένων γοῦν Ἀχιλλεὺς τὸν Πατρόκλου θάνατον ἀταμιεύτῳ πάθει πρὸς τὴν ἀλήθειαν ἀπερράγη,
// μηρῶν τε τῶν σῶν εὐσέβησ᾽ ὁμιλίαν //
// κλαίων ..............................................//
{{ quotation out of Aeschylus' Μυρμιδόνες}}
τούς γε μὴν ὀνομαζομένους παρ᾽ Ἕλλησιν κωμαστὰς οὐδὲν ἀλλ᾽ ἢ δήλους ἐραστὰς νομίζω. τάχα φήσει τις αἰσχρὰ ταῦτ᾽ εἶναι λέγεσθαι, πλὴν ἀληθῆ γε νὴ τὴν Κνιδίαν Ἀφροδίτην.
Translation of 'Amores' by A.M. Harmon (Loeb edition):
For Socrates was as devoted to love as anyone and Alcibiades, once he had lain down beneath the same mantle with him, did not rise unassailed. Don't be surprised at that. For not even the affection of Achilles for Patroclus was limited to having him seated opposite "waiting until Aeacides should cease his song." No, pleasure was the mediator even of their friendship. At any rate, when Achilles was lamenting the death of Patroclus, his unrestrained feelings made him burst out with the truth and say,
// "The converse of our thighs my tears do mourn //
// With duteous piety ............ .......................... ... " //
Those whom the Greeks call "revellers" I think to be nothing but ostentatious lovers. Perhaps someone will assert this is a shameful thing to say, but, by Aphrodite of Cnidus, it's the truth.

Friend
Where have you been now, Socrates? Ah, but of course you have been in chase of Alcibiades and his youthful beauty! Well, only the other day, as I looked at him, I thought him still handsome as a man—for a man he is, Socrates, between you and me, and with quite a growth of beard.
Socrates
And what of that? Do you mean to say you do not approve of Homer (-->Hom. Il. 24.348), [309b] who said that youth has highest grace in him whose beard is appearing, as now in the case of Alcibiades?
Friend
Then how is the affair at present? Have you been with him just now? And how is the young man treating you? [309c]
Friend
Why, what can have happened between you and him? Something serious! For surely you did not find anyone else of greater beauty there,—no, not in our city.
Socrates
Yes, of far greater.
Friend
What do you say? One of our people, or a foreigner?
Socrates
A foreigner.
Friend
Of what city?
Socrates
Abdera.
Friend
And you found this foreigner so beautiful that he appeared to you of greater beauty than the son of Cleinias?
Socrates
Why, my good sir, must not the wisest appear more beautiful?
Friend
Do you mean it was some wise man that you met just now?
Socrates
Quite well, I considered, and especially so today: for he spoke a good deal on my side, supporting me in a discussion—in fact I have only just left him. However, there is a strange thing I have to tell you: although he was present, I not merely paid him no attention, but at times forgot him altogether.
Friend

Friend

Socrates
Nay, rather the wisest of our generation, I may tell you, if “wisest” is what you agree to call Protagoras.
Friend
Ah, what a piece of news! Protagoras come to town!
Socrates
Yes, two days ago.
Friend
And it was his company that you left just now?
Socrates
Yes, and a great deal I said to him, and he to me.
Friend
Then do let us hear your account of the conversation at once, if you are disengaged take my boy's place,1 and sit here.
Socrates
Very good indeed, I shall be obliged to you, if you will listen.
Friend
And we also to you, I assure you, if you will tell us.
Socrates
A twofold obligation. Well now, listen. During this night just past, in the small hours, Hippocrates, son of Apollodorus and brother of Phason, knocked violently at my door with his stick,

With this in his hand the strong Argeiphontes flew, and quickly came to Troy-land and the Hellespont. Then went he his way in the likeness of a young man that is a prince, with the first down upon his lip, in whom the charm of youth is fairest.

Translation by Harold N. Fowler of Plat. Sym. 179e...
... whereas Achilles, son of Thetis, they honored and sent to his place in the Isles of the Blest {{2: --> Pindar Oden 2.78ff. but Homer Odyssee 11.467ff., places him in Hades}}, because having learnt from his mother that he would die as surely as he slew Hector {{3:--> Homer Ilias 18.96}} but if he slew him not, would return home and end his days an aged man, he bravely chose to go and rescue his lover Patroclus,[180a] avenged him, and sought death not merely in his behalf but in haste to be joined with him whom death had taken. For this the gods so highly admired him that they gave him distinguished honor, since he set so great a value on his lover. And Aeschylus{{1:-->Aeschylus Myrmidones fr. 135-136}} talks nonsense when he says that it was Achilles who was in love with Patroclus; for he excelled in beauty not Patroclus alone but assuredly all the other heroes, being still beardless and, moreover, much the younger, by Homer's account {{2:-->Hom. Il. 11.786: 'My child, in birth is Achilles nobler than thou, but thou art the elder though in might he is the better far ...'}} For in truth [180b] there is no sort of valor more respected by the gods than this which comes of love; yet they are even more admiring and delighted and beneficent when the beloved is fond of his lover than when the lover is fond of his favorite; since a lover, filled as he is with a god, surpasses his favorite in divinity. This is the reason why they honored Achilles above Alcestis, giving him his abode in the Isles of the Blest.
“So there is my description of Love—that he is the most venerable and valuable of the gods, and that he has sovereign power to provide all virtue and happiness for men whether living or departed.” [180c] 3Such in the main was Phaedrus' speech as reported to me ...
► Solon & Peisistratos ?
διὸ καὶ φανερῶς ληροῦσιν οἱ φάσκοντες ͅͅ ἐρώμενον εἶναι Πεισίστρατον Σόλωνος, καὶ στρατηγεῖν ἐν τῷ πρὸς Μεγαρέας πολέμῳ περὶ Σαλαμῖνος: οὐ γὰρ ἐνδέχεται ταῖς ἡλικίαις, ἐάν τις ἀναλογίζηται τὸν ἑκατέρου βίον καὶ ἐφ᾽ οὗ ἀπέθανεν ἄρχοντος. - Therefore the story that Peisistratus was a lover of Solon and that he commanded in the war against Megara for the recovery of Salamis is clearly nonsense, for it is made impossible by their ages, if one reckons up the life of each and the archonship in which he died.

► Achilles & Patroclus @ hornitologist Don’t be fooled by Hollywood’s claims of brotherly love; Achilles and Patroclus were definitely lovers.
► Achilles and Patroclus ... Patroclus, the son of Menoitius, is both Achilles' cousin and his foster brother ... This close familial relationship, along with the traditional role of a Greek hero to act more boldly than an ordinary mortal, may be sufficient to explain the depth and violence of Achilles' reaction to his comrade's death, but not the fact they were buried in the same tomb with their bones mingled.
► image on a contemporary, greek stamp
Achilles then organized an athletic competition to honour his dead friend and/or lover, which included a chariot race (won by Diomedes), boxing (won by Epeios), wrestling (a draw between Telamonian Aias and Odysseus), a foot race (won by Odysseus), a duel (a draw between Aias and Diomedes), a discus throw (won by Polypoites), an archery contest (won by Meriones), and a javelin throw (won by Agamemnon, unopposed). The games are described in Book 23 of the Iliad ...
The death of Achilles is given in sources others than the Iliad. His body was given a funeral pyre. His bones were mingled with those of Patroclus so that the two would be companions in death as in life.Their remains were tranferred to Leuke island of the Black Sea.
As predicted by Hector with his dying breath, Achilles was thereafter killed by Paris - either by an arrow (to the heel according to Statius), or in an older version by a knife to the back while visiting Polyxena, a princess of Troy. In some versions, the god Apollo guided Paris' arrow.
Both versions conspicuously deny the killer any sort of valor owing to the common conception that Paris was a coward and not the man his brother Hector was, and Achilles remains undefeated on the battlefield. His bones are mingled with those of Patroclus, and funeral games are held. He was represented in the lost Trojan War epic of Arctinus of Miletus as living after his death in the island of Leuke at the mouth of the Danube ... Leuce had also a reputation as a place of healing. Pausanias reports that the Delphic Pythia sent a lord of Croton to be cured of a chest wound { --> Peleus entrusted Achilles to the healer & teacher Chiron, on Mt. Pelion, to be raised.<--}
Some say that when Achilles was born, his mother, Thetis, dipped him in the river Styx, to make him invulnerable to all weapons. But as she did so, she held him by the heel, which never got wet, and there it was that the fatal arrow hit him. Others say it is not so, that Thetis plunged him into fire hoping to make him immortal like herself, but his father, Peleus, king of Phthia, came into the room and interrupted her. Furious at his meddling, the mother took off and returned to the ocean, her former abode. Peleus, now needing a tutor for the boy, took the baby to his friend Cheiron, the wise centaur who had raised so many other heroes. The boy grew up fed on the marrow of bears to gain courage, and on the marrow of fawns, to be a speedy runner. At the age of six he killed his first wild boar, and was able to outrun wild deer at the hunts. He grew up to be the bravest, handsomest and swiftest of the heroes.
When fair Helen was taken by Paris, the Trojan prince, and all of Greece rose up to return her to her rightful home, golden-haired Achilles led the Greek armies in the siege of Troy, and fought well for nine years, but time came when he refused to fight besides the other heroes. Agamemnon, the Greek general, had taken lovely Briseis away from him by force, the girl which had fallen to his lot as spoils of war and was his favorite slave. "Go ahead, Agamemnon, rob me of my rightful prize," said Achilles, his heart black with anger, "but know that the Greeks shall look for me in their hour of need, and shall not find me!" And so brave Achilles sat in his tent as the fighting raged on the battlefield, and as hero after hero perished under the attacks of Hector, the Trojan general, and his troops. And the Greeks would have perished to the last man, had not Achilles been stirred by one thing and one thing only: his love for Patroclus, his bosom friend and lover. Only when his partner was torn from him by death did he return to the field of battle, to avenge him whom he cherished above all others.
They had been friends from childhood, from the days when Achilles had returned from the forest to live in the house of his father. One day Menoetius, an old friend of his father, came to the court of King Peleus to seek refuge. It seems his young son, Patroclus, had fought with a friend of his over a game of dice, and without meaning to, had killed the other boy. Menoetius and Peleus had sailed together on the Argos, and were good friends, so refuge was granted to the two weary travelers. Later Peleus held holy ceremony and purified Patroclus of his crime. The youth was appointed squire to Achilles. They soon became the best of friends, and later lovers.
His mother, being a goddess, knew that a great war was to take place between the Greeks and the Trojans. And she also knew that if her son went to fight against the Trojans he would die. So she sent Achilles to the court of King Lycomedes, where he was dressed as a girl and hidden with the king's daughters. It was a good trick, but the Greek generals were wilier still. The seer Calchas had already warned them that they would never take Troy without the help of the young son of King Peleus. So three of them, among whom Ulysses, journeyed forth to Skyros, the island of King Lycomedes, where it was rumored the boy was hidden. The king bade them search where they liked, and they found nothing, but Ulysses thought up a ruse. He brought a pile of gifts to the women's quarters, among which he hid a shield and a spear. While the girls were picking through the fineries he had an accomplice sound the war trumpet. Achilles, thinking the island was under attack, stripped off his women's clothes and picked up the weapons. Once he had been discovered, Lycomedes let him take his leave, and he was appointed admiral of the Greek fleet. He was still only fifteen years old. Nonetheless, while living among the king's daughters he had fallen in love with one of them, Deidameia by name, and had left her with child. Later, after the Greek fleet had set sail for Troy the ships were scattered by a storm, and Achilles took advantage of the delay to return to Skyros to marry Deidameia.
Soon thereafter the ships gathered again, and sailed for Troy, which they reached after many hardships. Achilles was not unaccompanied: Patroclus had been sent to watch over him, and from then on they were inseparable. In praying to the gods, Achilles would ask them to rid the world of all mankind, except for Patroclus and himself. Even so, Achilles kept on falling in love: as soon as the Greeks reached the Trojan shore, they joined battle with the defenders. Among them was Troilus, the nineteen year old son of Priam, the king of Troy. It had been foretold that if he lived to the age of twenty, Troy would not fall, but that was not to be. Achilles was overtaken with desire for him as they were fighting. "I will kill you, unless you yield to my caresses," threatened the hero. The youth refused, and ran to hide inside a temple of Apollo, but Achilles barged in, offending the god, and since the young man still resisted, beheaded him upon the altar.
After landing at Troy the Greeks found that the citadel was too strong to attack, so they spent the next nine years sacking the surrounding cities. Achilles was always in the forefront of the battles, and time and again he and his men, the Myrmidons, led the Greeks to victory. With him in command, the Greeks took more than twenty towns, and towards the end of the ninth year of battle the city of Lyrnessus fell. Briseis, a royal princess, was taken captive, and when the spoils were parceled out she fell to Achilles. She was not his for long. When Agamemnon had to give up his own concubine to appease the gods his fury knew no bounds, and he took his rage out on Achilles by seizing Briseis. From then on Achilles swore he would have no part of the war, and pulled his men out of the ranks. Now the Greeks' luck turned, and the Trojans had the upper hand.
Agamemnon bitterly repented, and sent men to beg Achilles to return to battle, and to promise him the return of Briseis. Achilles would have none of it, and things looked grim for the Greeks. With the Trojans about to set fire to the Greek ships, Patroclus asked Achilles to borrow his armor, so that being seen in it he might strike fear into the hearts of the Trojans. Achilles consented, but warned Patroclus to come back as soon as he had driven the Trojans away from the ships. In the heat of battle Patroclus did not heed his friend's advice, and pushed the enemy back to the very walls of Troy. Apollo, patron of the Trojans, had to step in and knock Patroclus back, and then Hector finished him off with a single blow.
When Achilles heard the bitter news he cried and rolled in the dust with grief. His friends brought back Patroclus' body from battle field, but he would not let them bury it. He lay down on top of it, holding it in his arms, sobbing helplessly. His own mother, Thetis, came to comfort him: "My child, how long will you keep on crying your eyes out in sorrow, forgetting food and sleep? It is a good thing to lie in love with women too." But Achilles could think of nothing but his lost companion, and bitterly he reproached him for squandering his life: "You had no consideration for my pure reverence of your thighs, ungrateful after all our frequent kisses."
And then Achilles rose up, donned the new armor that his mother had brought, fresh from the forges of the god Hephaistos, and plunged back into battle, routing the Trojans and slaying Hector, their general and the oldest son of King Priam. Soon thereafter it was his turn to die, at the hands of Paris, Hector's brother, who pierced his heel with a poisoned arrow guided by Apollo, who had not forgotten the death of Troilus. Thus the prophesy was fulfilled, and Achilles' ghost rejoined his friend's in the Elysian Fields. Their ashes were mixed together in a golden urn, and the Greeks buried them in a common tomb.

**New Ulm Oil Company Service Station** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 79001206, date listed 12/31/1979
Broadway and 5th Sts.
New Ulm, MN (Brown County)
The New Ulm Oil Company Service Station (1926) is built on a diagonal axis facing the intersection of Fifth North Street and Broadway in New Ulm. Two imposing copper-roofed towers, circular at the second level and octagonal at the first, are at either end of the main section of the structure.
The stations of this series projected strong fanciful visual images, incorporating such features as windmills and lighthouses. The stations appear to have been custom-designed for specific locations and for independent oil companies, in contrat to the numerous standard plans adopted by chains of stations. The New Ulm station is one of only two in the series known to survive with a high degree of integrity. (1)

The late Pope Francis left us a memorable phrase, referring to the tragic events of our current history, he said "build bridges, not walls", and almost paraphrasing Pope Francis, here in Sicily we tear down walls, let me explain... there is a traditional religious festival, during which the wall of a house, always the same wall, is torn down, to then be built again in anticipation of the celebration that will be held in the new year. But it is not so much the wall itself, even more characteristic is the way in which this wall is broken down: it is struck over and over again with the arms of the float, those used by the bearers to hold the float, on which sits the statue of Saint James, an incredible tradition whose origins are not unanimous. Many, many years ago, I was perhaps 20 years old, walking with a few friends one evening along Corso Umberto in Taormina, I learned from one of them about this incredible tradition. I remember it as if it were yesterday. He said, “In Sicily, there is a celebration in which, during the procession, the float with the Saint, loaded with provola (cheeses), is used like a battering ram to break down the wall of a house, which is then rebuilt (the battering ram, a medieval assault weapon, used to break down gates and castle walls).” This year, I was able to witness (and photograph) this very particular and unique tradition, which is celebrated every year on July 26th in the town of Capizzi (Messina), a celebration that commemorates the transfer of the relics of Saint James from his sanctuary. As mentioned, the most characteristic moment of the celebration is the "rite of miracles": the float with Saint James on it is violently hurled against the wall of a house adjacent to the church of Sant'Antonio, and each impact against this wall is interpreted as "a miracle of Saint James". The number of blows needed to overcome the wall is interpreted sometimes positively (if the blows are even), sometimes negatively (if the blows are odd). The "Miracles of St. James" do not have a certain origin, some think it could originate in ancient times from the destruction of a small pagan temple, or a synagogue, someone else instead traces this tradition as a form of revenge of the inhabitants of Capizzi (Capitini), this because the relics of the Saint were stolen from Capizzi to be kept in the city of Messina, by the Spanish nobleman Sancho de Heredia, in obedience in 1435 towards Alfonso V of Aragon, nicknamed "the Magnanimous" (he was king of Aragon, Valencia, Sardinia, Majorca, Sicily, titular king of Jerusalem, Corsica and Hungary, he was count of Barcelona and of the Catalan counties, and from 1442 he would also become king of Naples), therefore the demolition of the wall would be a form of revenge towards what was perhaps the house of the nobleman Sancho de Heredia, finally someone else traces this tradition to a legendary event, which recalls the defeat of a handful of Saracens, who They had barricaded themselves in that place. Currently in Capizzi, in the Sanctuary of San Giacomo Maggiore, the oldest relic of Saint James the Apostle in Sicily is housed: a finger of the saint. Another characteristic aspect of the festival is the presence of numerous provola cheeses placed on the roof of the float. These are offered by the population to Saint James. The presence of these typical cheeses is indicative of the type of economy in Capizzi, primarily linked to agriculture and livestock farming, with significant dairy and pork production, particularly that of the Nebrodi black pig, with typical cheeses such as provola capitina and maiorchino. Some residents told me that sometimes the donations of provola cheeses, even large ones, become so abundant that the float ends up becoming exceptionally heavy, severely testing the bearers' ability to support all that weight.

Il compianto papa Francesco ci ha lasciato una memorabile frase, in riferimento alle tragiche vicende della nostra attuale storia, ha detto “costruite ponti, non muri”, e quasi parafrasando Papa Francesco, qui da noi in Sicilia i muri li abbattiamo, mi spiego meglio ….c’è una festa tradizionale religiosa, durante la quale il muro di una casa, sempre lo stesso muro, viene abbattuto, per poi venire costruito in attesa della festa che si terrà il nuovo anno, ma non è tanto il muro in se, ancor più caratteristico è il modo in cui questo muro viene sfondato: esso viene colpito più, e più volte con i bracci del fercolo, quelli che servono ai portatori per reggere la vara, sul quale siede la statua di San Giacomo, una incredibile tradizione sulle cui origini non c’è unanimità di pensiero. Io tanti, tanti anni fa, forse avevo 20 anni, passeggiando con pochi amici di sera sul Corso Umberto di Taormina, venni a sapere da uno di questi, di questa tradizione che ha dell’incredibile, lo ricordo come fosse ieri, disse “in Sicilia c’è una festa nella quale durante la processione, la vara con il Santo, carica di provole (formaggi) viene utilizzata come fosse un’ariete per sfondare il muro di una casa, che poi verrà ricostruito (l’ariete, arma medioevale d’assalto, utilizzata per sfondare portoni e muri dei castelli),”. Quest’anno, ho potuto assistere (e fotografare) questa tradizione così particolare ed unica, che si celebra ogni anno il 26 luglio nel paese di Capizzi (Messina), festa che commemora il trasferimento delle reliquie di San Giacomo dal suo Santuario, e, come anticipato, il momento più caratteristico della festa è il “rito dei miracoli”, la vara con sopra San Giacomo viene violentemente scagliata contro il muro di una una casa adiacente la chiesa di Sant'Antonio, ed ogni urto contro questo muro viene inteso come “un miracolo di San Giacomo”, il numero dei colpi necessari per avere la meglio sul muro viene interpretato ora in maniera positiva (se i colpi sono pari), ora in maniera negativa (se i colpi sono dispari). I “Miracoli di San Giacomo” non hanno una origine certa, qualcuno pensa possa originare anticamente dalla distruzione di un piccolo tempio pagano, od una sinagoga, qualcun altro invece fa risalire questa tradizione come una forma di rivalsa degli abitanti di Capizzi (Capitini), questo perché le reliquie del Santo furono sottratte a Capizzi per essere custodite nella città di Messina, da parte del nobile spagnolo Sancho de Heredia, in obbedienza nel 1435 verso Alfonso V d'Aragona, soprannominato "il Magnanimo" (era re di Aragona, Valencia, Sardegna, Maiorca, Sicilia, re titolare di Gerusalemme, Corsica e Ungheria, era conte di Barcellona e delle contee catalane, e dal 1442 sarebbe diventato anche re di Napoli), quindi l’abbattimento del muro sarebbe una forma di vendetta verso quella forse era la casa del nobile Sancho de Heredia, infine qualcun altro fa risalire questa tradizione ad un evento leggendario, che ricorda la sconfitta di un manipolo di saraceni, che si erano asserragliati in quel luogo. Attualmente a Capizzi, nel Santuario di San Giacomo Maggiore, si trova la più antica reliquia di San Giacomo Apostolo Maggiore che abbiamo in Sicilia, si tratta di un dito del Santo. Un altro aspetto caratteristico della festa, è la presenza di numerose provole messe sul tetto della vara, queste sono offerte dalla popolazione a San Giacomo, la presenza di questi tipici formaggi è indicativa del tipo di economia che c’è a Capizzi, principalmente legata all'agricoltura e alla pastorizia, con una importante produzione casearia e di carne suina, in particolare quella del maiale nero dei Nebrodi, con formaggi tipici, come la provola capitina e il maiorchino. Mi dicevano alcuni abitanti che a volte la donazione delle provole, anche di grosse dimensioni, diviene così abbondante, che la vara finisce con acquisire un peso eccezionale, mettendo a dura prova la capacità di reggere tutto quel peso da parte dei portatori.

**Westcliff School** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 89000999, date listed 7/27/1989
304 4th St.
Westcliffe, CO (Custer County)
The historic Westcliff Schoolhouse is the only building in Westcliffe of the design which is locally known as the Cottage style, a variety of front gabled vernacular masonry. Two outhouses are in the back and a wooden fence encloses the front yard. Three flag poles are in the front of the school where on special occasions, the American flag, Colorado State flag and the Centennial flag are flown. Westcliffe is located in the Wet Mountain Valley, west of Pueblo. Originally founded in the late 1800s as a mining community, it has become a ranching community and is distinctly rural in character.
The Westcliff Schoolhouse meets National Register Criterion C because it is significant for its design as a 19th century building type and for its materials and method of construction. Not only is the school the only example of Cottage style in Westcliffe but the material is unusual for a school house. The building, built of local fieldstone, is a testimony to the expertise of its stone mason, Archie Scherer. Mr. Scherer worked on several other buildings in Westcliffe, including the City Jail.
The Westcliff School, built in 1891, stands as a memory of the past and a tribute to the one room schoolhouse. The school name, spelled Westcliff, as opposed to town of Westcliffe, and date of construction appear above the front door. (1)

Chichinautzin volcanic field, Mexico City, D.F. This volcanic field immediately south of Mexico City represents and present volcanic threat to Mexico City and environs. Stretching some 90 kilometers east and west south of the city, the field contains more than 220 eruptive vents. Many of the largest are seen in this photograph taken from the top of the Latin American Tower in January 1974. In the far background, two of the three highest volcanic peaks of Mexico are seen: Iztaccíhuatl and Popocatepetl, one of Mexico's most active volcano attaining nearly 18,000 feet above sea level while Iztaccíhuatl is slightly lower and has not erupted in historical times. Thinking we were acclimatized to high altitude by staying in Mexico City (elevation above 7,000 feet) for more than a week, we set out to conquer Volcán Popocatepetl, but alas we failed after a four day effort due to my case of high altitude sickness. We managed to make about the 16,000 level on foot with our back packs. Overnights were extremely cold. We slept inside our tent, inside our down filled sleeping bags with our downfilled jackets and clothes on and our boots with wool socks. We could have been fried as well had the volcano erupted while we slept instead of just letting off a cloud of steam. My headache caused by the high altitude would not sufficiently abate even with the taking of Darvon in an effort to quell the pain, so we took the medical authorities' advice being told if conditions didn't change, go down to a lower elevation. Shoot. We've never been that high on foot again. We did walk down a good portion of the mountain on our way down, camping and hiking to the entrance to the National Park. Landscape is awesome.
To our particular interest are the volcanic stuctures which are seen in the near back ground just beyond the city buildings:
Volcán Pelado, and Cerro Chichinautzin. The significance of this view is to show a few of the hundreds of volcanic vents that occupy the Valley of Mexico and the contemporary danger the volcanoes present. Today everything is quiet except for the nearly daily detonations of distant Popocatepetl hidden in this view by clouds. One of the cones, Xitle, erupted 1600 years ago and covered important prehistoric urban centers - a threat that continues today. For a comparison of the Valley of Mexico in the 19th century to 1974, see this link to a painting by José María Velasco, the famous 19th Century landscape painter of Mexico.

I'm sharing here on Flickr a (long) series of photos, taken in early August this year, during a short vacation in Calabria, at a holiday village located near a beach I've been frequenting with my family for several years now, during our short summer vacations. The setting, however, is very different from the beaches I normally frequent near my home in Taormina, with very crowded beaches and a sea that is also very popular with yachtsmen of all kinds. In this part of Calabria, the beaches are rarely crowded (except on weekends, but not too much). In short, it's a sort of almost tropical paradise, with very little yachting. Adjacent to the holiday village is a kitesurfing club, very popular with enthusiasts of this wonderful sport, which thrives on the sea and the wind. I photographed an 84-year-old kitesurfer, whose mettle is steely, still giving athletes much younger than him a run for their money. A friendly and sweet horsewoman from the nearby stables arrived unexpectedly in the beach village, accompanied by her father, both astride two magnificent colts. This created a moment of joy and curiosity for both the parents and their little ones, who were likely seeing these magnificent and docile animals up close and personal for the first time. Unexpectedly, a very special party broke out on the beach. Seeing it made me feel like I was no longer in Calabria, but rather transported to the other side of the globe, to the Hindu festival called Holi, with its throwing of colored powders (in India, this festival marks the end of winter and the arrival of spring, as well as symbolizing the victory of good over evil). I know it thanks to the evocative photographs often published on various photography websites.
I'll end by briefly mentioning the photographic technique I've often used in my photographs. I've created "blur" photographs—blurry, slightly blurry, and unfocused—at the time of shooting, simply by lengthening the exposure time and then also using some panning. Finally, I'd like to thank the sweet and beautiful models who posed for me, allowing me to further enhance this (long-winded) photographic story.
………………………………………………………………………..
Propongo qui su Flickr, una (lunga) serie di foto, realizzate nei primi giorni di Agosto di quest’anno, durante una mia breve vacanza in Calabria, in un villaggio vacanze sito a ridosso di una spiaggia che oramai frequento insieme alla mia famiglia, durante le nostre brevi vacanze estive, da diversi anni, fotografie quindi aventi per tema la “beach photography”; purtuttavia l’ambientazione è molto diversa rispetto alle spiagge che frequento normalmente vicino casa mia a Taormina, con spiagge molto affollate, il mare anch’esso super frequentato da diportismo nautico di ogni tipo, in questa zona della Calabria le spiagge sono invece poco frequentate (tranne il fine settimana, ma neanche troppo), insomma, una specie di Paradiso quasi tropicale, con pochissime imbarcazioni. Adiacente al villaggio vacanze c’è un club di Kitesurf, molto frequentato da appassionati di questo meraviglioso sport, sport che si nutre di mare e di vento. Ho fotografato un kitesurfer di 84 anni, la cui tempra è di acciaio, che dà ancora molto filo da torcere ad atleti molto più giovani di lui. Nel villaggio a sorpresa è arrivata una simpatica e dolce cavallerizza proveniente dal vicino maneggio, con lei anche il suo papà, entrambi a cavallo di due magnifici puledri, creando un momento di allegria e curiosità, sia per i genitori, che per i loro piccoli, per i quali, molto probabilmente, era la prima volta che potevano vedere da vicino, e poterli anche toccare, questi magnifici e docili animali. A sorpresa, inaspettatamente, sulla spiaggia ha preso vita un party molto particolare, nel vederlo mi sembrava di non essere più in Calabria, ma di essere stato proiettato dall’altro lato del globo, in quella festa Indù chiamata Holi, con lancio di polveri colorate (in India questa festa segna la fine dell'inverno e l'arrivo della primavera, oltre a simboleggiare la vittoria del bene sul male), festa che conosco grazie a fotografie molto suggestive spesso pubblicate sui vari siti fotografici.
Termino accennando brevemente alla tecnica fotografica che ho spesso adottato nel realizzare le mie fotografie, ho realizzato al momento dello scatto fotografie del tipo “blur”, cioè mosse, un po’ confuse, non incise, ottenute allungando i tempi di esposizione. Infine ringrazio le dolcissime e belle modelle, che hanno voluto posare per me, consentendomi di rendere più grazioso questo mio (prolisso) racconto fotografico.

Morton, MN (Redwood County)
St. Cornelia's Episcopal Mission Church is a small Gothic Revival structure of granite native to the area. The cruciform plan building includes a crenelated tower at the north transcept and a small narthex extension at the entrance (west facade). Battered buttresses mark the bays of the nave of the church. Memorials include a rose window on the upper front gable for Bishop Henry Whipple's wife, Cornelia, and an arched window over the altar for Rev. S.D. Hinman, who began mission work with the Dakota during the Agency period, are of brick and rafters are exposed.
The church is situated in a central green area at the Lower Sioux Community. Construction of a stone church had begun at the nearby Lower Agency before the 1862 Uprising, but the building was never completed. Materials from this structure were transported a few miles west to the Lower Sioux Community site in 1889 for the construction of the present building. Two distinct colors of stone on the structure may reflect the use of both the earlier obtained materials and the stone quarried at the time of the building's completion. (1)
