Αφήνοντας πίσω μας το κάστρο της ορθοδοξίας στην καρδία της χερσονήσου του Σινά λίγα λεπτά πριν δύσει ο ήλιος και ξεκινώντας την 3ώρη ανάβαση προς την Αγία Κορυφή εκεί όπου ο Θεός παρέδωσε στο Μωυσή τις 10 εντολές.
Η μονή ανεγέρθηκε επί αυτοκράτορα Ιουστινιανού στο σημείο που βρίσκονταν η «φλεγόμενη βάτος» και είναι το μοναδικό ορθόδοξο μοναστήρι που συνέχισε αδιάλειπτα τη λειτουργία του μέχρι και σήμερα χωρίς να καταστραφεί από επιδρομές αλλοφύλων, βαρβάρων κλπ.
Η πανέρμορφη βιβλιοθήκη της μονής διατηρεί την δεύτερη μεγαλύτερη συλλογή χειρογράφων και Κωδίκων της πρωτοχριστιανικής περιόδου, μετά από αυτή του Βατικανού.
Leaving behind us the castle of Orthodoxy in the heart of the Sinai Peninsula a few minutes before the sun sets and starting the 3-hour ascent to the Holy Peak where God gave Moses the 10 commandments.
The monastery was built during the reign of Emperor Justinian on the site of the "burning bush" and is the only Orthodox monastery that has continued its operation to this day without being destroyed by raids of other races, barbarians, etc.
The beautiful library of the monastery maintains the second largest collection of manuscripts and Codices of the early Christian period, after that of the Vatican.
Regno Unito, Lincolnshire, Lincoln, Primavera 2021
Lincoln è una città di Lincolnshire, in Inghilterra e si è sviluppata dalla città romana di chiamata Lindum. La città è caratterizzata dalla sua cattedrale, un raffinato esempio di architettura gotica inglese, e il castello normanno dell’11° secolo. La costruzione della cattedrale iniziò nel 1088 e proseguì in diverse fasi per tutto il periodo medievale. E’ stata considerata l'edificio più alto del mondo per 238 anni (1311-1549), superando le Grandi Piramidi dell'Egitto. La cattedrale è stata utilizzata per le riprese di Il Codice Da Vinci dove assunse il ruolo di Westminster Abbey, in quanto questa aveva rifiutato il permesso per le riprese.
Lincoln is a city of Lincolnshire, England and it developed from the Roman town of Lindum Colonia. Lincoln's major landmarks are the Cathedral, a fine example of English Gothic architecture, and the 11th-century Norman castle. The cathedral’s Building commenced in 1088 and continued in several phases throughout the medieval period. It was reputedly the tallest building in the world for 238 years (1311–1549), succeeding the Great Pyramids of Egypt. The cathedral was used for the filming of The Da Vinci Code where it took on the role of Westminster Abbey, as the Abbey had refused to permit filming.
Regno Unito, Londra, Westminster Abbey, Autunno 2021
Westminster Abbey è una grande abbazia gotica nella città di Westminster, Londra. Si tratta di uno degli edifici religiosi più importanti del Regno Unito e il tradizionale luogo per l’incoronazione e di sepoltura per i membri della monarchia britannica poi. La costruzione della chiesa attuale è iniziata nel 1245, su ordine del re Enrico III. Dall’incoronazione di Guglielmo il Conquistatore nel 1066, ogni monarca britannico, con le eccezioni di Edoardo V e Edoardo VIII, sono stati incoronati nell'abbazia di Westminster. Nel 2005 l'Abbazia di Westminster ha chiuso le sue porte all'adattamento cinematografico del Codice Da Vinci, dicendo che il libro era "teologicamente infondato". Alcune scene nella seconda parte del libro erano ambientate nell’abbazia londinese, ma sono state invece filmate alla cattedrale di Lincoln nella parte orientale dell'Inghilterra.
Westminster Abbey is a large Gothic abbey church in the City of Westminster, London. It is one of the United Kingdom's most notable religious buildings and the traditional place of coronation and burial site for English and, later, British monarchs. Construction of the present church began in 1245, on the orders of King Henry III. Since the coronation of William the Conqueror in 1066, every English and British monarch, with the exceptions of Edward V and Edward VIII, have been crowned in Westminster Abbey. In 2005 Westminster Abbey has shut its doors to the film adaptation of The Da Vinci Code, saying that the book is "theologically unsound". Some scenes in the latter part of the book are set in the abbey in London but they had to film at Lincoln Cathedral in eastern England instead.

PART OF ARTPIECE : Centenary music codex in the collection of Pastrana tapestries and other works of art from the 15th and 17th centuries.
The modern history of the library can be traced back to 1802, the time of the restoration of the Benedictine order. The first records referring to the library date back more than a thousand years, so except for a few interruptions, it is the oldest and most valuable art collection in the country. The library now consists of approximately 400,000 volumes compared to the original 70-80 codices. In terms of topics, the collection includes every conceivable scientific discipline. The language is more often Latin, but the books were also written in Hungarian, French and German. After the restoration of the Benedictine order, the library also made great strides, it began to prosper, and the collection reached its great size through purchases, collections and legacies. The Abbey, its library and its spiritual value was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.

spio nella notte ciò che si farà aurora
contengo baluardi di collera impotente
timore dell'oscuro che specchia che riflette
tenebra interiore.

The Val Bregaglia is one of the most beautiful valleys in the Alps. Although it is on the Italian side of the Alpine watershed, the high valley has been in Switzerland since the Italian protestants wanted to be part of that country in mid-16th century, to avoid the Inquisition. However the low Val Bregaglia, often called Valchiavenna, lays in Italy and the river Mera (Maira in the Swiss part) flows into Lake Como. Acquafraggia* is a short and frequently steep stream flowing from one of the tributary valleys on the right orographical side of the Val Bregaglia. Almost at the end of its precipitous course, the Acquafraggia reaches the outlet of the hanging valley where it flows, forming a couple of twin most beautiful waterfalls. Even Leonardo da Vinci was impressed by these waterfalls, and they are mentioned in the Codex Atlanticus (a marvel I have been able to see and touch only once during my years working at the Biblioteca Ambrosiana). Curiously, I have been not able to find any statement about the height of the final waterfalls of the Acquafraggia: they always quote that Leonardo says they are about "400 braccia Milanesi" ( = Milanese unit of lenght, an arm's length; Leonardo was working in the Duchy of Milan between 1482 and 1499).
I have photographed the Acquafraggia waterfalls times upon times, but I have never found those shots even remotely satisfying. At last I have realised that trying to depict the twin waterfalls in their entirety has a reductive effect on their beauty and majesty. So I decided to capture a small series of details, mainly to be processed in bw. This photo is the fourth one in the series. At the top of the rock wall off which the waterfalls plunge beautiful sunbeams transpired - sparkling veils of light against the dark rocks and the white flowing waters.
Since I did not expect to engage myself in "serious" photography that day (I had my camera mainly for family & friends candid portraits), I was shooting handheld single RAWs.
RAWs processed with Darktable. Further processing (including the monochrome via LAB channels decomposition) with The Gimp.
* This apparently silly name derives from the Latin phrase and toponym Aqua fracta, i.e. "precipitous water" or "fragmented water" (because of the many waterfalls it forms during its brief course covering a staggering 2,000 mt drop (more than 6,500 ft))

A colourful trick of light I have given up by choosing to process in bw (to be honest, I tried to blend the rainbow into the bw image, but it didn't work). And an hint at the nature of beauty and reality...

This photo is the sixth in the series, possibly the last one. Contrary to my progam about this series, this one is in colour. And yes, it is the very same photo as Pouring bliss... Feel the Flow #5. I believe that the choice of bw processing is a fundamental one: once made, the original colour version is to be forgotten. Yet I am doing this right now - posting the colour version of a bw shot, having them side by side in my photostream. Well, I think that you can see why I chose to process the bw version in accordance with its preceding sisters. On the other hand, it shoud be quite apparent why I am posting the colours version. There was a steady, beautiful rainbow at the feet of the waterfalls, where the precipitous waters poured into the wide bowl carved into the rock beneath them. The crowding people bathing and sunbathing and playing all around didn't apparently notice it - taking it for granted maybe. I tried to capture it, of course, and this shot has to me a special atmosphere, due to the unusual detail of the rainbow painted on the subject showed by the bw version.

The palace was built using the stones of the former Coronation Cathedral of the Virgin Mary Provost Church. The building lasted more than twenty years which explains why Louis Seize style ornaments appeared on the mainly baroque building.
The architect of the palace was Jakab Riedel and it had become one of the most significant Louis Seize style building in Hungary. On the facade the bishop's coat-of arms can be seen. Its furniture is Empire and Biedermeier style. The library contains 40000 volumes- codices, incunables. The palace garden reaches the castlewall hiding the unexplored parts of the Coronation Basilica.

You might wonder how this shot is really different from the previous ones. In a way it obviously is, of course. I might add that I enjoy this monochrome processing of waterfalls, so I might have posted it for the mere sake of postprocessing fun. But there is still one point - a major point you couldn't possibly know. You'll see quite soon, when I post the colour version of this shot. So, stay tuned! ;-)
