There are moments in New York when the Big Apple weather patterns just take your breath away... East River from Brooklyn looking towards lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty on the horizon as the pre-sunset glow competes with a stormy mist cover
and here's the outcome, one of the most delicious souvlaki i ever tasted. They then wrap it with a piece of paper and serve it. For only a few dimes.
Try not to miss if if u ever visit the castle of Krak des chavaliers just some meters after the last crossing, within the village.
Well, it looks like a cake but it's really the center of a pink lotus flower. It smells nice & the tip of the pistils are cute in these round shapes when they are fresh.
From the old town we walked to the waterfront promenade and I was simply amazed of it's beauty :)
The Riva, Split's seafront promenade, runs the length of the old town and is one of Europe's finest. The views across the harbour to the islands beyond are simply magnificent. It's one of the favorite meeting places for both, tourists and locals. You can relax here in the shade of umbrellas and palm trees. In the nearby cafes or restaurants you can find aromatic coffee or delicious ice cream.

Ze starówki wyszliśmy na nadmorski deptak, który zachwycił mnie swoją urodą :)
Promenada Riva, ulubione miejsce turystów i mieszkańców Splitu. Ta niezwykle charakterystyczna dla Splitu, nadmorska promenada jest całkowicie wyłączona z ruchu kołowego. Można odpocząć tu w cieniu parasoli i palm, delektując się widokiem na morze i odległe wyspy, zaś w pobliskich kawiarniach lub restauracjach wypić aromatyczną kawę lub zjeść pyszne lody.
stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end.
Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.
Delicious ambiguity
Natural ice in the Netherlands is a rare occurrence. In fact, some winters there's no natural ice at all. Maybe that explains why the Dutch love to skate outdoors. They hardly ever get the chance! But when a cold wave hits, and the interconnected maze of canals, rivers and lakes freeze over, it's a spontaneous celebration, a national holiday. Businesses close their doors and everyone goes skating.
The Alblasserwaard tour starts in the town of Kinderdijk, a tourist mecca famous for its windmills. (Molentocht means windmill tour.) The Krimpenerwaard is one of the oldest polders in Holland, dotted with ancient villages, and you can skate through nine of them in a day. (Negendorpentocht means Nine Villages Tour.) You can read about the area's history in this Krimpenerwaard site.
Aside from the scenery, the joys of Dutch skating are the companionship of other skaters, and the delicious food served up along the canals. With so many skaters on the ice, you're guaranteed to find someone who skates at your speed, and gets hungry or thirsty with the same regularity.
I hope you like this shot. well I have enjoy myself with making photo's

I've been meaning to photograph some petit fours, and found the opportunity before dessert today. The one on the left is raspberry flavored, and the other is lemon. They're seen in a 45-frame focus stack, blended with Helicon Focus.
When my mom visited, we shared a cinnamon roll at Mother's Bistro. It's a good way to start a morning.

Hippeastrum these plants are popularly but erroneously known as Amaryllis and are cultivars of bulbous plants in the family Amaryllidacea.
The botanical name Amaryllis is taken from a shepherdess in Virgil's pastoral "Eclogues"(An eclogue is a poem in a classical style on a pastoral subject.
Poems in the genre are sometimes also called bucolics. Virgilius wrote the Bucolica, consisting of 10 Eclogues).
As a flower symbol it has come to mean "Dramatic", which seems most fitting here!
Hippeastrum is a popular bulb flower for indoor growing, it is Greek for "horseman's star" (also known today as "knight's star").
Another Macro+++.
I love the curves and lines in this.
Hope you do too.

Actually, catnip is delicious, which is what PJ Harvey was licking in this moment (there are bits of catnip all around here, too)
I am a big fan of the old vintage feeling of cracking open a good book but I did donate a lot of my old books and I am buying most books on Kindle with the exception of graphic novels, which really don't translate well to that format in my experience. Graphic novels are what I read in the bathtub at the end of a long day, ether sipping sake or Japanese whiskey and with lots and lots of bubbles around me. If that sounds decadent, it is because it absolutely is. But, I have chronic muscle cramps, anxiety, and depression and this is my personal therapy.
So, on to the book recommendations by my stack from yesterday's photos separated into two parts. I bought these books primarily at Quimby's in Chicago, a comic book store that I am worried about now that it is closed because of the citywide mandate for quarantine and "shelter in place." Bookstores are not considered an essential business to stay open at this time and, truthfully, I also wouldn't want to risk the lives of the workers, but I do personally view books as essential just as I view the book loving geeks who enjoy reading them.
The Drifting Classroom by Kazuo Umezz is about a school that disappears into some time into the future. The communication between time zones is nearly impossible except for our protagonist hero being able to scream through time and connect with his mother occasionally.
The first Volume is really mainly centered on the way the adults and children handle this crisis and the psychological and physical violence that results as well as typical things like food and water scarcity and then a giant bug monster, which comes about at the end.
The second Volume is more about stopping nightmares that come to life. bizarre mushrooms that start growing on everything, and a plague that separates the children even more. The children are exploring this new desert land and trying to find anything sustainable and they end up finding other surprises.

I've also been reading quite a bit of Junji Ito's graphic novels lately. I'm in the middle of Tomie right now, which I have mixed feelings about. I love the concept of a woman who never dies even when she is brutally murdered by men over and over again. What is difficult for me to read is the fact that she obsesses about men not worth her while and gets very jealous of other girls. Seems like she could be using her time after regenerating all over again a lot better.
The novel by Ito that I liked even better was Uzumaki because I really get into psychological dramas where the enemy is actually a force of nature..in this case spirals that consume everything in this small Japanese town from the wavelengths in the area to people's biological physical spaces (semicircular canals, fingerprints). This one is well worth reading and one I will likely re-read quite a few times.
Also worth a read is No Longer Human which is an adaptation of the same novel by Osamu Dazai. This is at least somewhat based on the author's life and his own psychological distress (Dazai's) and is really frightening in the sense of human choices and the portrayal of a man without a conscience and the way he treats others, especially women.

On more of a fun side is Junji Ito's Cat Diary: Yon & Mu. This is the very slim graphic novel on top and, although it is still a manga that features some bits of horror, it is far more tongue and cheek and shows how Ito adapts to his wife's cats and slowly becomes a tried and true cat lover (it is autobiographical)

Last but certainly not least, if I ever feel that Japanese horror is just too intense for that particular day, there is a really beautiful and transfixing graphic novel here called Cats of the Louvre by Taiyo Matsumoto
This looks a little cutesy at first but it is really deep and introspective about a child and a cat that gets lost in a painting and about the cats that secretly live in Le Louvre and their caretaker. There is a lot of great cat personalities as well as that of a spider. Highly recommended!

Have you ever thrown everything to make an instantly invented photo? I got it today, when I was drinking tea with biscuits. I looked out the window and saw unusual birds in the mountain ash. Without thinking for a long time, I just ran out into the street. About half an hour I trampled on the spot, a little frozen, but what a cool picture I got! Just amazing.
Thanks for your faves and comments, I really appreciate them!
