Un’immagine fortemente emblematica per questo mese di luglio 2020, sembra testimoniare un passaggio di consegne. Nella foto possiamo ammirare, uno accanto all’altro, sui binari del deposito locomotive di Messina, un treno POP (ETR 103/104) di ultima generazione e la locomotiva E.656.039, costruita nel lontano 1976 dalle officine Casaralta-Asgen.

Generational comparison (Photo of the Month n.123 - July 2020)
A highly emblematic image for this month of July 2020 seems to testify to a handover. In the photo we can admire, next to each other, on the tracks of the Messina locomotive depot, a latest generation POP train (ETR 103/104) and the E.656.039 locomotive, built in 1976 by the Casaralta-Asgen workshops.

LA LEGGERA INSICUREZZA DELL'ESSERE.
Con vanità si intende la caratteristica dell'essere vano o dell'avere una assurda quantità di orgoglio per il proprio aspetto fisico. Essere eccessivamente vanitosi significa trascorrere lunghe ore davanti alla toeletta a truccarsi o depilarsi i peli del naso; in effetti, se cerchi di avere sempre un aspetto impeccabile e ti rifiuti di fare qualsiasi lavoro che possa sporcarti i vestiti o rovinarti i capelli, qualcuno potrebbe accusarti di esserlo.

The woman in the foreground I had seen twice , both times dressed in the most confronting manner . On both occasions she approached from behind me , so I haven't seen her face just her rear .. I was taking a few street shots then all of a sudden she walks past and she's gone ..

two weeks ago I was confronted with my data in a hard way. My large storage device “Drobo” refused to operate after I upgraded it with another 2TB drive. The drive became unresponsive and after a while it did came back giving me the opportunity to retrieve some data…since this was my largest storage device I had to make sacrifices to the data I could retrieve, so I had to delete all my movies, series and software I had collected over the years. Luckily I did manage to backup my photography work.
That same week my laptop died and it has been sent back to Apple for repairs.
Fortunatly I do hold regular backup sessions, but it’s still a hassle and I’m once again aware that all data is fleeting, and no storage medium is safe from harm. Photo’s can burn, disk drives will fail…it’s time holographic data crystals are made…at least they seem stable enough….
Nel 2020 ricorrera' l'anniversario dei 100 anni, dalla nascita, del Maestro Federico Fellini. In sua memoria, ho postato questa foto, in cui l'autore del murale, ha miniato il ritratto del Maestro e del suo attore preferito, Marcello Mastroianni.
Just getting back from vacation. Hope to catch up with everyone soon. Here is one shot from Amish country. There could very well be mutant Homer Simpson's in there. You never know, I didn't get a look inside.
When we last left Mark of Falworth he was confronted by three guards, who, instead of attacking him, said,
"The Highlord of Lenfald will see you now, Sir Mark."
Seeing no other viable option, and wanting to disguise his anxiety, Mark cheerfully replied.
"Ah, Excellent! Lead on, good soldier!"
After a short trip through the corridors of the palace, Mark was led into a large, richly decorated room. Mark remembered visiting this very room during the days of the late Highlord Godfrey Wenseclaus II.
But now a different person sat upon the throne, Triphian I.
Only one guard had continued into the room with him and after bowing to the Highlord, announced:
"May I present to you Sir Mark of Falworth, High Councilor of Loreos."
Mark made a respectful nod in the Highlord's direction as Triphian rose from his seat.
"It is good to meet you at last, Sir Mark." The Highlord said lightheartedly. "I finally have a glimpse of the fierce warrior who has torn a gaping hole through my domain!"
Mark smiled.
"It could have been much worse for you...
This palace and all that surround it would be nothing but ashes if you hadn't had the good fortune to remove me from my command."
Triphian laughed.
"The reports of you did not exaggerate! Your optimism and boldness in the face of your great danger is quite admirable."
"May I ask you something, Lord Triphian?"
"Ask away!"
"How is it that I find myself in your palace, when I last remembered careening towards the city in the teeth of a dragon?"
"Aha! That is quite a tale! The mighty beast that brought you here had the great cheek to drop you right on top of a large anti-war protest! As soon as your identity was discovered, complete pandemonium broke out!
Mark's smile widened.
"it must have been quite a scene! I'm only sorry I was unconscious!"
"It was indeed, quite a scene! My men were lucky to get you out unharmed. As the story goes, three battalions of my best troops couldn't restore order, many in the streets are still chanting "Death to Falworth!"
Mark chuckled.
"It seems I've made myself unpopular in these parts..."
Triphan nodded.
"The animosity is not to be unexpected. "The bane of all outlaws" is now "the hammer of the Lenfels"
"Then I suppose you intend to appease the populace by having me drawn and quartered publicly?" Mark reasoned.
"Certainly not! While that action may make me more popular here, the fury of your countrymen would be unparalleled. Loreesi troops still prowl the woods and the best way for us to stop them is to keep you alive and well. So long as your friends stay away, you shall be my guest, if they venture to attack us again your life is forfeit. And they have been made well aware of that.
I have sent a message to your uncle, I hope that by your presence here, we may find a way to end this terrible war."
"I see."
"But until then, you are my honored guest!
I would advise you not to try to escape from the protection of these walls, I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you outside..."
Mark smiled again.
"I quite agree with you. I have a particular dislike of angry mobs."
"Good, I will see you tonight at the banquet. Farewell, Mark of Falworth."
"Farewell, Lord Triphian."
And with a bow, Mark left the audience chamber...
I built this in 20 minutes a few days ago. I didn't want to leave MoF Hanging. ;)
My bro Steven was a great help with the figs and details! :)
Thanks for viewing and have a great day!
Today and tomorrow, I invite you to take a break from Romanesque churches of Burgundy to visit yet another truly remarkable Romanesque church: that of the abbey of Chalais, built way up in the massif of Chartreuse in the French Alps, above the city of Grenoble.
Founded in 1101 by monks who wanted to live as hermits, according to the rule of Saint Benedict but without connection to local parishes or the outside world in general. They set a precedent and had followers, thus creating the “Order of Chalais”, which was therefore another branch on the Benedictine tree.
Confronted to a lack of resources, the abbey went through many vicissitudes until it was absorbed in 1303 by the Carthusian monks who had established the Grande Chartreuse not far from Chalais and only a few years prior, in 1084.
Today, the abbey is inhabited and managed by Dominican nuns who came from Lyon in 1963. They make excellent biscuits, too!
These photographs were taken on commission by the Fondation pour la Sauvegarde de l’Art Français, with which I work as a pro bono photographer.
The altar in the square apse is amply lit by large windows and an oculus.

Pictured left to right: Harold Poole "Cat's Paw" and Sir Qarl Khorman "Stone Eye"
Sir Harold Poole: Born in 691 AV, the son of the famous Sir Dustin Poole, who fought alongside King Davian the Bold in the Great Dragon Extermination campaign that ended in 683AV. Many knights died during this campaign, so many lands and keeps became vacant. Sir Dustin became a landed knight, and took the yellow crowned lion as his sigil, to honour both his liege Lords, the Casterwoods, and the Crown. Sir Harold was knighted himself in 708AV after winning the squire’s melee at the royal tourney commemorating the birth of Prince Dendrick Fielder.
When Sir Dustin died in 715AV, his Keep called Otter Pool was passed to Sir Harold. When Lord Pyrseus called his banners to ride to the Frost Gate in 718AV, Harold hesitated before riding to war against the crown. His father had told him many stories of the King’s legendary exploits, but lately, many rumours spread telling of a King who’d become callus and evil-spirited. Sir Haytham Blythe was an old friend of Harold, and he was convinced that change of leadership was warranted. With the belief that he was fighting for the good of the kingdom, Harold answered the call to arms.
At the Battle of Brothers Blood, Sir Harold charged the Loyalist front lines with Sir Qarl Khorman and their young Lord Pyrseus Casterwood himself. Sir Harold cut down many of House Flint’s knights in a desperate attempt to capture Lord Henry Flint. Once Lord Pyrseus had captured Lord Flint, he sued for peace with the crown, and House Casterwoods forces returned to their lands in Eastern Thronfeld without resistance.
Harold is conflicted about his role in the rebellion, but he wholeheartedly regrets his inaction during the Seven Year Orc War. Lord Pyrseus ordered his knights to protect their own lands and to refuse their King’s call. Harold lies awake at night wondering how many innocent lives were lost because of the feud between his Lord and his King. Sir Harold is also one of the most decorated tourney knights in the kingdom. During a tournament in 714AV, he famously unseated Sir Haytham Blythe in a joust that lasted 21 rounds. As his body has aged, Harold has participated in fewer tournements, but he remains as sharp as he ever was.
Sir Qarl Khorman, (born 689AV) is a knight living in the lands of House Casterwood. His father Jeshua Khorman fled from slavery in Kalarocco and worked as a farmhand for Lord Corbery, a vassal of House Casterwood. In 699AV, two men and a woman, carrying a baby, asked Jeshua to see the Lord Corbery. They brandished a signed invitation from Corbery himself, so Jeshua escorted them to his Lord’s hall. Later that day, Qarl, who was just 10 years old, saw the men rob and kill Lord Corbery. Qarl ran and told his father what happened and Jeshua grabbed his axe and confronted the guests in the storage barn. The men attacked Jeshua, so he killed them both. The woman grabbed Qarl and Qarl bit her hand to get free. The woman yelled at the boy in a deep voice, revealing that she was actually a man. Qarl grabbed his slingshot and launched a stone into the man’s eye and he dropped dead.
Jeshua picked up the baby and removed it’s ragged brown swaddle to reveal a fine linen robe on the boy. Just then, trumpets sounded around the barn. The party of thieves had been tracked by Lord Tyus Casterwood’s men to the barn. Jeshua presented the knights with the child and reported that the men who came with the boy, and killed Lord Corbin, were dead in the storage barn. The Knights took the child and rode back to their Lord. A week later, Lord Tyus and a host of knights appeared at the farm. Lord Tyus announced that Jeshua had rescued his son, young Pyrseus, and killed his kidnappers. He knighted Jeshua on the spot.
When he learned that Qarl had killed one of the men, he knighted the boy as well. The Khormans were informed that Lord Corbery had orchestrated the kidnapping and that he was likely killed in a renegotiation gone wrong. Lord Corbery’s lands were annexed, but his keep and the immediate surrounding lands were gifted to Jeshua and Qarl, making them landed knights. They took the Corbery sigil, a grey and gold hawk, as their own, because they didn’t have the money to change all the banners.
Qarl worked as a page in the Lion’s Den for 6 years and trained with the knights there day and night. When Qarl was 18, his father died of a fever, and Qarl returned to the newly named Khorman’s Keep. Qarl participated as a rebel in the battle of Brother’s Blood in 718AV and fought side by side with the young Lord Pyrseus and Sir Harold Poole as they battled their way to capture Lord Henry Flint in order to avoid calamity and to sue for peace.
Qarl is extremely loyal to House Casterwood, and though he is an older knight, he remains one of their deadliest servants. In his younger years, he enjoyed participating in tournaments. He remains especially gifted in a joust and the melee, though it takes a much bigger prize these days to get him in front of the crowds. He also has a profound hatred for the Vieran, which stems from his family’s northern crossing of the Bloody March. They met a band of Vieran Guerillas and as the fled, a Vieran arrow struck his mother, killing her.
These two knights represent the tight grip that House Casterwood has developed over even the lesser houses in the East of Thronfeld. Liberating these lands will be one thing for the Young King Davian, but converting the inhabitants will be a battle in and of itself.
Confronting a life long dislike and fear of the cold, I did a workshop in the #wimhoffmethod culminating in a two minute ice bath immersion. On entry I was the only one that swore up a storm but 24 hours later I am still buzzing with a happy, chilled vibe.

We actually got some rain last night and there was a puddle big enough to float the rubber duckies on, so I thought I'd do that :) I love these rainstorms, they come so rarely!
A boy with a stone (in his left hand) confronts the heavily armed Egyptian military police at a barbed wire barricade just south of Tahrir Square. The road is littered with stones thrown by both homeless youths and SCF soldiers, who would also resort to tear gas and (on many other days) bullets.
This photo was posted earlier today with very clumsy and amateurish adjustments to the brightness using a free online editor which were distinctly noticeable on enlargement but I've now readjusted the image to be closer to the original using no more than a !% change in brightness in any area of the image.
With End Game, Damien Hirst confronts us with the fact that we are mortal. At once repellent and beautiful, the sculpture focuses on two human skeletons, male and female. Flanking the skeletons are two cases containing an array of the kind of medical equipment commonly used in an operating theater or morgue. Although the implements seem to be found objects, they were commissioned by the artist, fabricated to his exact specifications and engraved with his last name. For Hirst, the surgical instruments represent both the miracle and horror of modern medicine. The title End Game refers to the final stage of a chess match. Endgame is also the name of a Samuel Beckett play in which four characters face the inevitability of their demise. Rooted in the history of art, End Game specifically addresses the idea of vanitas. Latin for vanity, the word describes a type of painting common in Northern Europe during the 17th century. These still-life compositions represent the fleeting nature of existence, using symbols like hourglasses, rotting fruit and flowers, and—most notably—skulls. End Game reinvents the conventions of the vanitas picture for modern times, insisting that viewers recognize the fragility of life and their own reluctance to acknowledge death.
Confrontation sous la tempête! ❄️
Ceux qui ont vu ma vidéo que j’ai publiée précédemment savent déjà à quel point cette confrontation était intense! Mais voici un autre angle de cette scène incroyable : une chouette lapone en plein vol, dans la tempête, qui semble foncer droit sur une proie… et pourtant, c’est une autre chouette qui l’attend au sol!
Un affrontement territorial juste devant moi, totalement imprévu. Je suis sorti ce jour-là sans attente, juste pour marcher et prospecter, et j’ai été témoin d’un spectacle que je vais me rappeler toute ma vie. Comme quoi, plus tu marches, plus tu te rapproches du succès!

Eva Maleen x Fem
Ovale

OVALE e` la quarta personale della rassegna intitolata FEM; un progetto di Serena Santoni, che ha come obiettivo quello di esporre diverse analisi artistiche del concetto (corporeo, performativo e sociale) di femminile.
La mostra di Eva Maleen cerca di evidenziare le contraddizioni per coloro che vivono identità fem (ad esempio, lo stereotipo del femminile come equivalente all'emotività da riconciliare col bisogno di contatto con emozioni crude e con l'inconscio durante il processo creativo). L'inconscio può essere la sede stessa del fem, simbolico quanto il lato femminile represso della nostra societa` e sintomatico quanto l'aspetto emotivo della nostra consapevolezza. Ma entrambi, il "lato fem represso" e "l'aspetto emotivo della consapevolezza" sono concetti traballanti e possono essere illusioni, proprio come il femminile.
Il lavoro di Eva Maleen può essere visto come una ricerca di un luogo, parallelo, onirico, dove esistere in quanto fem, dove trovare quiete nel costante muoversi dell'identità e della performance e celebrare il fem sia come illusione che come una componente dell'umanità riappropriabile e (occasionalmente) riappropriata.
Usando sia la pittura che la ceramica, Eva attinge alla sua psiche, che contiene tutto il potenziale generativo necessario, come un “uovo”, che dà il titolo alla mostra. Ricerca, amore e femminismo si fondono tra loro durante la composizione di un femminile che giace chissà dove nel subconscio. Non c'è un unico spazio, un'unica modalità per il fem, come non c'è un soggetto fisso nelle raffigurazioni di Eva Maleen.
Eva Maleen (Amburgo, 1997) - è un’artista tedesca che vive e lavora a Roma. Il lavoro di Maleen riflette su temi quali la sessualità, l’identità di genere e la filosofia delle relazioni amorose. Eva ha studiato filosofia e studi di genere presso la Humbolt-Universität zu Berlin e in Italia ha frequentato l’Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma, specializzandosi in pittura. Ha esposto alla XIX edizione di Paratissima “Eye Contact” presso la Cavallerizza di Torino e ad ottobre 2023 è stata già presente a bar.lina con la personale “Crack in Time”, parte del programma Think in Pink della galleria.

What about FEM?
Fem è una parola che deriva dal francese e si rifà al contesto delle subculture angloamericane, dove il termine veniva usato in riferimento al binomio femme-butch, per identificare in genere donne lesbiche la cui identità era associata a tratti e stereotipi femminili. Oggi il Fem ci parla non tanto di femminilità ma di un posizionamento critico nei confronti della femminilità così come la si intende in senso comune. Parlare di Fem è sovvertire le accezioni più comuni attribuite al concetto di femminilità, così come viene intesa nella cultura eteropatriarcale. La costruzione del Fem è un constante lavoro di re-interpretazione della femminilità “intenzionale”, che va oltre l’estetica, un concetto caratterizzato dall’impegno politico di contrattacco ad imposizioni esterne che limitano l’autodeterminazione di ogni individuo.
Da giovani, pensiamo ad un'arte che si confronti con i fatti amari, perchè crediamo che il male possa essere sconfitto affrontandolo: invecchiando, e cominciando a dubitare di questa possibilità, vorremmo che l'arte non si limitasse a confermare la pena della nostra disillusione; [...] le fotografie esprimono la necessità di un cambiamento, ma insieme sembrano suggerire che questo bisogno non è la cosa più importante che possa dirsi della vita.
