Ho visto che questo libro, 'Tramonti', esposto su uno scaffale del Piccoloblu' di Campiglia ( SP ), è di un fotografo spezzino che ha fatto parecchie pubblicazioni, e che mi sembra davvero bravo
A book, 'Sunsets', by a good photographer from La Spezia, Liguria. Italy
A random shot as I was walking through a local town back in September. Some fancy plates in a small shop, among other collectables and bric-a-brac.
No water shortage on this day!.
Soaking wet and still smiling.

Some lovely flowers we have in the front garden, These flowers are highly attractive to the bees. We always have at least 10 bees swarming around the flowers throughout the day.
A quelques dizaines de mètres de la guesthouse, le temple ouvre ses portes pour l'heure de la prière... Et même le chien respecte ce moment.
Ten years ago Amtrak released several heritage schemes to celebrate their 40th Anniversary.
It took 10 years to see them all, with the last one being the phase II scheme. I never did see 66, but 130 is just as good, especially when it recently got its paint refreshed.
I'm finally all caught up, that is until the 50th Anniversary schemes Amtrak revealed last week get released into the wild.
Amtrak 130 leads the "Birthday Builder" (I'm leveling up to 25 today) into Big Lake.

Seen here the Empire Builder is still triweekly, but come May 24, it's back to daily service.
My relatives used to run a small post office … the stamps they collected provided a view into history, art & politics.
It was fascinating watching these two energetic Sheep Dogs, rounding up this flock high above the village of Consitone.
They were responding to a series of whistles and calls and expertly shepherding the sheep down from the upper fells to the gate the farmer had opened lower down here, leading to the valley pastures.
On the ouskirts of Springer, NM is the Mills Mansion, a three-story adobe territorial mansion with 20 rooms, impressively carved walnut features, and a massive cistern out back to collect rain water built by Melvin Whitson Mills in 1877. Mills, an early Springer resident, was both a District Attorney and New Mexico Territorial Legislator. It’s considered the most unique architecture on the old Santa Fe Trail and is in remarkably good condition given its age. I was fortunate to meet the current owner (who is restoring the property) and get a 'private' tour of the mansion, including its spiral staircase, supposedly the tallest in New Mexico, bathed in devilish red light from the original old “ruby” window set in the transom over the front door.
“Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.”

What is it that causes us to cherish material items like we do? Why do we value gold, silver, jewels? They don't provide nourishment or quench our thirst or provide shelter or comfort. Is it because they represent wealth and are scarce so only those with enough money can own them?
