Old doors constitute a History Map. Every patch, every mending, every decorative element, stand for decisions or events that, wheather meaningless or not, got intentionally or serendipitiously trapped making up unique textures.
Las viejas puertas son un mapa de Historia. Cada parche, cada reparación, cada elemento decorativo representan decisiones o sucesos que, insignificantes o no, quedaron atrapados intencionada o involuntariamente formando texturas únicas.

Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I musn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Luz del día
He de esperar al amanecer
He de pensar en una nueva vida
y no debo ceder
Cuando llegue el amanecer
esta noche será también un recuerdo
y comenzará un nuevo día
Memory (Cats. Andrew Lloyd Webber, 1981)

Cos you’re fearless in your love
Devoted to compassion
The highest state of art
Piercing in your truth
Sincere in all intention
The way you wear your heart
The way you hold my heart
My fierce friend
I wanna run away tonight
Just leave everything behind
Together we’ll make our sweet escape

The heart can think of no devotion
Greater than being shore to the ocean—
Holding the curve of one position,
Counting an endless repetition......

One of my favourite subjects in Eastleigh.
Yonge was born into a religious family. Devoted to the High church, she was much influenced by John Keble, Vicar of Hursley from 1835, a near neighbour and one of the leaders of the Oxford Movement. Yonge was herself sometimes referred to as "the novelist of the Oxford Movement",[6] as her work frequently reflects values and concerns of Anglo-Catholicism. She remained in Otterbourne all her life and taught for 71 years in the village Sunday school.[7] Her house, 'Elderfield', became a Grade II listed building in 1984.[8]
Yonge, c. 1845
In 1868 a new parish was formed to the south of Yonge's home village of Otterbourne. This was to contain the villages of Eastley and Barton. Yonge donated £500 towards the Church of the Resurrection, the Church of England parish church, and was asked to choose which of the two villages the parish should be named after. She chose Eastley, but decided that it should be spelt Eastleigh as she perceived this as being more modern.[9]
Yonge died in her home village of Otterbourne on 24 May 1901.

Something different for today, four photos devoted to a single building: the Dr Chau Chak Wing Building.
As the first Australian building designed by Frank Gehry, the celebrated Canadian architect, the Dr Chau Chak Wing Building is a flagship project of University of Technology Sydney’s billion-dollar-plus City Campus Master Plan.
It provides teaching, learning, research and office accommodation for the Business School – as well as extensive public spaces – across 11 occupied floors. While it is available to all students, it has a focus on postgraduate and executive education, and bringing UTS researchers together.
The building is named for Australian-Chinese businessman and philanthropist Dr Chau Chak Wing, who donated $20 million to the project, along with an additional $5 million for Australia-China scholarships. Dr Chau Chak Wing’s son studied architecture at UTS.
I looked for days for this guy and he was right under my nose practically. I have a dresser upstairs that is devoted to smaller props. BUT, it is not my only spot. I am not that organized.
Happy Macro Monday
Inside the Abbott School in Castine, Maine.
Abbott School
Castine High School, 1927The stately Abbott School was built by the Castine School District in 1859, in the then-fashionable Italianate Style, to function as a high school. The building also served as the Eastern State Normal School from 1867 to 1873, and closed its educational doors in 1961. The building was privately owned for several decades, and on April 29, 1994, the Castine Historical Society signed the agreement for purchase of the building. In July of 1994, the Society, embarked on a three year campaign to raise $400,000 for the purchase and renovation of the Abbott School as the new home of the Society.
By December 31, 1994, renovations had begun, and the Abbott School’s grand opening as the home of the Castine Historical Society occurred on July 1, 1996. The building housed both exhibits and the administrative offices until 2015, when the administrative offices and archives moved to the newly restored Grindle House, located next door.
The ground floor is used for exhibitions devoted to the history of Castine which are open to the public without charge. Future plans call for expanded exhibition galleries to accommodate both permanent and changing exhibitions.
2016 was devoted to visiting National Parks through the spectacular U.S.A. This is Deadhorse Bend. Located near Moab, Utah, it is a State rather than a National Park. This is just one of numerous locations which justify why Utah is aptly named by many "the land of the Gods." The midwest State is also home to "The Big Five" which include Zion, Arches, Canyon Lands, Capitol Reef and Bryce Canyon National Parks.
Certains photographes dont des "professeurs" disent : "Assez d'images de cette gare, on en a marre, moi pas, je trouve toujours du plaisir à la photographier, cette photo a été prise lors de la série consacrée à la colorisation de la verrière par Daniel Buren.
Some photographers including "teachers" say: "Enough images of this station, we're fed up, not me, I always find pleasure in photographing it, this photo was taken during the series devoted to the colorization of the canopy by Daniel Buren.

Since it's Sunday today please find included some high-falutin material so that you can waste your time (or procastinate a wee bit if you see this pict during the week he he)
Word has it that the caves in the island were used by the Spanish Inquisition. So... let me propose for you this renowned interpretation for non-Spanish speakers. Images are strong and can hurt sensitive people. Needless to say, you might try the link below as well, a different, more resigned approach, just a Spanish song.
If you ever visit the place, you'll find St. John's footprints along the stairs, the last one just at the end: just place a foot on them and you'll get over different kinds of deseases. Eventually, once up there, make a wish and ring the bell for three times. It didn't work in my case.
As a curiosity, the place was donated to the San Juan de la Peña Monastery (Crown of Aragon in the epoch) in 1053. Honestly, I really don't know if any San Juan de la Peña's monk ever visited the place: it currently takes about 4 h by car, including quite a few funny winding road stretches. About five weeks riding a horse or walking 8h/day.

Como es Domingo incluyo material de altos vuelos para que podáis perder el tiempo (o procastinar si véis la foto durante la semana je je).
Se dice que las cuevas de la isla fueron usadas por la Inquisición. Así que para los hispanoablantes propongo este enlace, sin perjuicio de que pinchen también el de arriba por supuesto, aunque puede herir la sensibilidad del espectador. Si visitáis el sitio, encontraréis huellas de San Juan por los escalones, la última al final. Poned un pié en ellas y sanaréis de diferentes enfermedades. Finalmente, una vez arriba, formulad un deseo y tocad tres veces la campana. No funcionó, en mi caso.
Como curiosidad, el lugar fue donado al Monasterio de San Juan de la Peña (Corona de Aragón en la época), en 1053. Sinceramente, no creo que ningún monje de San Juan de la Peña visitara nunca realmente ese lugar: hoy día cuesta unas 4 h en coche, incluyendo unos cuantos tramos divertidos de curvas. Unas cinco semanas a caballo o andando 8h/día.
The Museum of Contemporary Art - designed by architect Joseph Paul Kleihues and completed in 1996 - occupies four stories and 220,000 square-feet of space in downtown Chicago, making it the world's largest institution devoted to contemporary art.
This post is devoted to inexperienced bird photographers and those of you with some experience under your belt or who aren't into photography are advised to skip it. First, juvenile Black-crowned and Yellow-crowned Night Herons are difficult to distinguish. According to Sibley, the Yellow-crowned bill is dark and the legs long where the Black-crowned bill is more sharply pointed, extensively yellow along the bottom, and the edges of the wings have large white spots. Feel free to disagree but to my eye this guy is a Yellow-crown.
I was at Peaceful Waters Sanctuary, in Wellington, Florida. I had earlier missed a potential keeper Yellow-crowned shot, changing my settings to take a portrait with a lower ISO and lower shutter speed when the bird, who showed no signs of leaving, left. The lesson, if you're after a flight shot, keep your flight shot settings.
My arm can't hold up the lens indefinitely. I don't generally use a tripod and my lens is not a lightweight. It's therefore important to be able to tell when a bird is ready to leave. As indicated earlier, it's not science but the more time you spend observing the more capable you will become of predicting behavior. The bird in this photograph, was on a manmade structure toward the back of the Sanctuary. It was there for 30 minutes and looked very comfortable, so I moved on. After circling back, it was then preening (cleaning its feathers). That's a good indication that a take-off is not imminent but might be worth waiting for. It was already late morning, and the sun was strong. This meant that the only light that looked good to me was direct, meaning that the sun was behind me on a straight line to the bird. If I could see my shadow, it would be pointing at where I wanted the bird to be in order to make a pleasing image. That's what I do. The bird could have left in any direction, but only northward would put it in front of a pleasing background in the best light. If there was wind, it would generally take off into the wind. But this morning the wind was not a significant factor. I might not have waited for my chance if there were other subjects to photograph, but this was the only game in town and the more time I spent with it the more I felt invested in the endeavor. OK, another 30 minutes later I was questioning my logic as I continued to wipe the sweat from my brow. Then the bird turned and faced away from me. Game over. I looked at a sidelight angle but didn't care for the light or the background. Yes, I would have taken it, but I'll shoot anything. Then it turned back, stretched its wings, and pooped. Clear signs of an imminent departure. More preening. More sweat. Ten minutes later, another stretch, another poop and I could see it talking to the tower. That's what it looks like to me when it's looking more intently in its direction of departure. That's when I raised my camera and got ready. (Not he first time but the first time I felt that there was going to be some action.) I got lucky, it flew parallel to my position in the best light available at the time, in front a dark background that wasn't close to the subject. All important points to consider.

This is a closeup shot of a door on the Nativity Facade portico of the Basilica de la Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain. The portico is comprised of three entrances devoted to the Christian Virtues Faith, Hope and Charity. The bronze and glass doors were designed by Japanese sculptor, Etsuro Sotoo in the style of Gaudì. Unfortunately, due to the throng of tourists, I was unable to photograph the other doors but as you can see from this one, they are absolutely stunning.
To see the door in it's entirety see first comment.

Give me again all that was there,
Give me the sun that shone.
Give me the eyes, give me the soul,
Give me the lad that’s gone
Dame de nuevo todo lo que había.
Dame el sol que brillaba.
Dame los ojos, dame el alma,
Dame al muchacho que se ha ido

Travel to Tuscany, Italy /// Reise in die Toskana, Italien /// Siena
The afternoon was devoted to lava fields, we stopped at the village of Vik before crossing the Myrdalssandur volcanic washout plains. We ended the day passing through the vast Eldhraun lava field, the world's largest recorded lava field in the past thousand years. These are vast and desolate places but the essence of Iceland with its 130 volcanoes.
The wonderful Parque Tony Gallardo is devoted to 'local' plants. There's a smallish waterway and lots of marvellous plants and trees. Of course they attract manifold birds among which this pair of Glossy Ibises. Fantastic.
The park was named for the sculpting artist and socialist politician Antonio Gallardo Navarro (1929-1996), who was also a defender of the native culture of the Canary Islands.

when i drive by, i see the percentage of my day devoted to simply maintaining a semblance of my previous structure. but wtf, i'm still here.
The devoted follower will have realized that I've posted a shot before that I had taken in this very location. Well, today I got another chance to find an interesting angle on this.
I was trying to use the strong lines to my advantage and get a human element just entering this little "foyer in the foyer!" The mirror is great, of course, to create an illusion of depth. Getting the vertical lines straight wasn't the easiest bit of post processing here. Whenever I got those straight, I totally hated how crooked the mirror looked. It was always going to be tricky since it's not flush on the wall but rather protrudes into the room on the bottom.

You are going to feel so much love and devotion that it is going to scare you.
You aren’t used to being the object of so much tenderness; and maybe you even think you don’t deserve it.
But you do.
You know you do.
Embrace it with open arms and let it wash over you.
