Castellbò, Alt Urgell, Lleida, España.
Castellbò es un núcleo de población del municipio de Montferrer y Castellbò (Alt Urgell) situado en el valle del mismo nombre. Es el jefe de la entidad municipal descentralizada de la Villa y Vall de Castellbò. En 1970 fue anexado al municipio de Aravell, creando el término municipal de Montferrer y Castellbò.
La villa de Castellbò, que en el 2019 tenía 82 habitantes, se encuentra en un lugar desgarrado, a 802 m de altitud, entre la sierra de la Borda (1.150 m) y los estribos de Roca Redonda. Lugar de paso obligado por los antiguos caminos que ligaban la Seu d'Urgell con el Pallars Sobirà, la villa está encaramada en un rellano del monte donde se encuentran las ruinas del antiguo castillo de Castellbò, que fue aterrizado por orden de Ferran el Catòlic en 1513 (la capilla de San Pedro y San Francisco del castillo se derribó siglos más tarde).
Para llegar a esta población hay que tomar la carretera que enlaza la N-260 con la estación de esquí de Sant Joan de l'Erm. Castellbò se encuentra a nueve kilómetros de la N-260.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
questo scatto l'ho realizzato nelle campagne intorno al lago di Vico in provincia di Viterbo. Ero a caccia proprio di insetti e questo piccolo coleottero colpì il mio sguardo, ebbi fortuna che accettò la mia amicizia, permettendomi di immortalarlo.....
per una scelta compositiva, ho deciso di scattare in modo decentrato ponendo il protagonista dello scatto in basso a destra in diagonale al resto dell'immagine....
I made this shot in the countryside around Lake Vico in the province of Viterbo. I was hunting for insects and this little beetle caught my eye, I was lucky that he accepted my friendship, allowing me to immortalize him .....I decided to shoot in a decentralized way by placing the protagonist of the shot at the bottom right diagonally to the rest of the image....
this picture is decentralized, but I like the laying on of hands

Es ist eine Traumlandschaft in Meteora, Griechenland. Zum Sonnenuntergang, wenn bereits alle Fotografengruppen die Region verlassen haben, ergeben sich die schönsten Motive in bestem Licht. Besser geht es kaum!
A dreamscape in nice sunset light...

As mentioned, this area, where currents converge from opposite parts of Europe (but even, also directly, from Asia, Africa, North America, Greenland and Arctic) with high rainfall (here up to 2600mm/year) due to its proximity to the Adriatic Sea, was among the snowiest and coldest in continental Europe until the end of the 20th century.
Until the mid-1980s, in March, there was an average of 1 to 3 meters of snow at this altitude (generally above 1200m a.s.l.) on the northern Dinarides, especially on the internal slopes with respect to the Adriatic, namely those belonging to the Danube-Black Sea water catchment, given that the coastal Dinaric main range is also the main and very decentralized watershed between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.
As many as 4 climatic zones overlap in a few kilometers from the Adriatic catchment to the Danube hinterland, which here starts 25 linear km E/NE of Trieste, that reduces to 6-10km linear along the northern coast of continental Croatia.
All this favored abundant snowfall, while the absence of the Alpine shield, whose mountain range in this area is decreasing in thickness and altitude, allowed long and icy outflows of Russian-Siberian origin currents, through the local wind called Bora/Burja/Bura, with temperatures well below zero for many consecutive days even along the coasts and snowstorms when the Mediterranean responded with the overthrust of humid and less cold masses coming from it.
Hoar frosting and hard riming phenomena were common from November to early April, with accumulations of ice crystals on the windward slopes and on the peaks, which could reach a thickness of several meters, since the Bora wind could blow continuously even for 3 consecutive weeks with averages close to 100kmph, bringing low clouds with ice crystals, rising from the soaked internal plains, every minute of every hour of every day of those phases of the weather pattern, frequent phases.
Now the weather pattern has changed markedly over Europe and this is the main cause of the mild winters and unbearable summers, also over central, western and Balkan Europe, in addition to the Mediterranean: from the Russian HP that dominated the European winters we have moved on to the continuous rise of the African HP with evidently opposite effects, and this in all seasons.
All this is now just a distant memory of a child who loved where he lived and is still fascinated by the climatic-botanical variety of this area that includes climates and essences that can be found from Sicily to Scandinavia, but he is certainly sorry that what he grew up with is no longer there, or remains only in small part, a small-great show, increasingly brief.

Europe, The Netherlands, Overijssel, Hengelo station, Blauwnet regional train (slightly cut)
We just returned from a delightful stay in the lovely eastern part of the Netherlands.
Since December 2017 the train service there is operated by Blauwnet (belonging to the French Keolis group) - before that, it was handled by the Dutch Railways (NS). The change was a result of the decentralization/privatization of railway lines through public tenders.
This is number 958 of the Minimalism / explict Graphism album and 106 of Train travel fascination.
Happy Independence Day!

Candy-O, I need you
Sunday dress, ruby ring
Candy-O, I need you so
Could you help me in?
Purple hum, assorted cards
Razor lights you'll bring
And all to prove
you're on the move
And vanishing
Candy-O, I need you so
Candy-O, I need you so
Edge of night, distract yourself
Obstacles don't work
Homogenize, decentralize
It's just a quirk
Different ways to see you through
All the same in the end
Peculiar star,
that's who you are
Do you have to win?
Candy-O, I need you so
Candy-O, I need you so
Candy-O, I need you so
Candy-O, I need you so
