Composition with carousel horses in the Moscow Children's Park. I went to this place just before closing, so there are no children here anymore.
I bambini possono insegnare sempre tre cose ad un adulto: 1. A essere contento senza motivo. 2. A essere sempre occupato con qualche cosa. 3. A pretendere con ogni sua forza quello che desidera.(Paulo Coelho)
Children can always teach an adult three things: 1. To be happy for no reason. 2. To always be busy with something. 3. To claim with all his strength what he wants (Paulo Coelho)

Sint Nicholaskerk is the most seen and at the same time overlooked church in Amsterdam as well as being one its most recent constructions, no one can miss this iconic structure upon arrival to the city walking from Centraal Station your eye is immediately drawn to it at 58 m in height it towers over the city skyline.
This Roman Catholic Church was designed by Architect Adrianus Bleijs and is a nod to the past combining elements of neo-Baroque and neo-Renaissance styles, completed in 1887 it was made a minor Basilica in 2012.
The church is dedicated to the 4th century charitable patron saint of children that became our Santa Claus as well as the patron saint of sailors and prostitutes, another winning combination.
In the Netherlands Santa Claus is known as Sinterklaas and a feast has been celebrated for over 700 years in his name and adopted in the early part of 20th century the tradition of leaving small gifts in children’s shoes was practiced on Dec 6th which has evolved now to become a Dec 5th evening tradition of gathering of family and friends to exchange gifts and laughter.
While Dutch Sinterklaas celebrations are mainly for the children its adult component is an annual grievance poem written to the recipient that must rhyme and be read out loud by the subject at the evening party all in good fun but beware you may get as good as you give.
I took this on Sept 10th, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens at 58mm 15 sec f/16 ISO100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , Luminar and DXO

Christmas lights and decorations in a well-known restaurant in the village of Navacerrada, Sierra de Guadarrama National Park, Madrid, Spain.
There were much people taking selfies and pictures of their children sitting on the carriage you can see in front of the restaurant. It was like a fairground.
Wishing you like this picture, I take advantage to wish you a nice Monday!

Ho modificato la descrizione della foto oggi 01/01/2011, perche' questo è un anno nuovo per noi, ma non per tutti. La voglio dedicare a Matteo Miotto, militare ucciso per la loro LIBERTA'.
I modified the description of the picture today 01/01/2011, cause that's a new year for us, but not for everyone. I want to dedicate Matteo Miotto, soldier killed for their freedom.
I'm not sure about this photo whether I should really write something about it or just leave it that way? Everyone can make their own thoughts about it and what they feel. Only this: This image means a lot to me, it was a long time ago - back in the days of analog times with my old Canon F1 - and it is an important part of me and my whole life.
Life goes on and this picture helps me a lot to do this now, because children give me everything and they are the hope for tomorrow. They are full of joie de vivre, real and authentic. The time with them was the best of my life, but also the most intense.
Don't limit your child to what you've learned because they were born in a different time.
(From Hebrew.)
Three things have remained from Paradise: The stars of the night, the flowers of the day and the eyes of children.
(Dante Alighieri)
There are so many wonderful memories attached to this picture. I have a tear in my eyes...

Children of Darkness: Written by Richard Farina, and sung here by Raymond Crooke
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2_KogbPzhA
I had not heard of Raymond or his version of this song until just a few minutes ago. I was always used to Joan Baez's more heavily orchestrated rendition. I think Raymond's version has more gusto.
I guess it's OK for flickr people to help boost Youtube people.
A little bit of an LOL...When I went looking for the lyrics, I was offered a "Children of Darkness" ringtone. Nothing much is sacred anymore.

Lyrics
the original song of RICHARD FARINA
(copyright Whitmark and Sons) is the following
Now is the time for your loving, dear,
And the time for your company
Now when the light of reason fails
And fires burn on the sea
Now in this age of confusion
I have need for your company.
It's once I was free to go roaming in
The wind of the springtime mind
It's once the clouds I sailed upon
Were sweet as lilac wine
So why are the breezes of summer, dear
Enlaced with a grim design?
And where was the will of my father when
We raised our swords on high?
And where was my mother's wailing when
Our flags were justified?
And where will we take our pleasures when
Our bodies have been denied?
For I am a wild and a lonely child
And the child of an angry man
Now with the high wars raging
I would offer you my hand
For we are the children of darkness
And the prey of a proud, proud land.
.
Uigur children were photographed on my overland through Tibet and Xinjiang in 1987. All of these children are now adults with their own children and some maybe even with grandchildren.
The picture was originally photographed on slide film with my Nikon FE camera and 130 mm telephoto lens.
I photographed the slide bracketing it with a Nikon D850 camera and enhanced the picture in Lightroom, Photoshop, and Topaz.
Making bricks is a common activity on the highlands of the Madagascar. The clay used to make the bricks is taken from the rice fields and this extraction contribute to the degradation of the soil of the rice fields. But also it is necessary to burn lot of firewood to fuel the kilns and this contribute enormously to the deforestation of the island.
Taken for photo challenge 2009, day 89: children
It seems so lovely and simple topic for photochallenge - children... On the first glance, it' s so easy, children aren' t insects that I couldn' t find under the snow some week ago :-) But as the day went, as more I understood how crazy this task actually is in wintertime. My 12 year old son tells he is not a child anymore, plus, he doesn' t want to be a model for photos... All outdoor attraction parks are closed, in school I couldn' t get during working time, and what is left? Some families with children on the street that I would chase like a hunter hiding behind the corners and trying to jump out and cross their way into appropriate moment? ...
Feeling desperate I went to a toy store in hope to find some kid there... but instead I stepped into a scene where I found a wild owl under the roof next to toy store... so I got unique shots thanks to this challenge... just of a bird, not a child. The owl is posted on Flickr now. Needless to say, toy store did not grant me with any kids nicely playing around shelves.
So it' s quite late, and my last escape is the child I had been once myself... here it is. This photo is one of first colour photos in my family album, and it' s taken by my grandfather, photographer, who lived long and fulfilled life, 101 year...
Por coincidência, eu e Cássia (blusa preta) visitamos a Fenações que fica há 2 km da Fale. Encontramos as crianças da créche "Recanto Feliz" brincando ao ar livre.

I love their brotherhood moments.
A little backstory. This was taken on our summer holidays by the lake. I liked the place from the moment we came. I watched where the sun would set. It was a valley and in the evenings a little mist would form there where the wood was kept. Finally the last day I was walking that road with my sons and the older one said he was tired and he does not want to walk any more. He sat down in the grass. I called my younger one to give him a helping hand :)

These wonderful children were waiting at the railway station, hoping for something to put into their food cans. Needless to say, our pre packed breakfast from the hotel went to a worthy cause, along with enough money for a few days....
"Ain't but three things in this world
that's worth a solitary dime
But old dogs
and children
and watermelon wine"
- - Lyrics from "Watermelon Wine" by Tom T. Hall
I went out yesterday afternoon not expecting much since it was cold, gray, and the light was quite flat; but I'd had more than a bellyful of dismal news (COVID stats, hypocritical politicians, bellicose egomaniacs, etc, etc) and just needed to come up for air. Lucky me...I stumbled across this photogenic duo and came away with this casual portrait. The young lady was as friendly as could be while her guardian was, well, a little concerned over what I was doing. : )) But this chance encounter was just the spirit lift I needed, and it reminded me of the truth in those lyrics. I hope you'll get a grin from this.
Best viewed LARGE.
While the adults chat the children play computer games. I'm sure this scene was repeated across the world in many homes over the festive season.
The bright spots in her hair are glitter, reflecting the fill in flash.
I write a popular blog aimed at helping other photographers and sharing my views on our craft. It's called Beyond the Obvious.
