"Ours is no longer the age of bonds, but of connections. "
Luciano De Crescenzo
Whether we like it or not, this is the real difference between the world of yesterday and the world of today.

La digitale (Digitalis purpurea) est, à l’état sauvage, la plante des sous-bois ombragés possédant de grandes grappes élancées de fleurs tubulaires. Elle est aussi appelée gants de bergère, queue de loup, doigtier, gant de Notre-Dame ou gantelée. Il s'agit d'une bisannuelle ou vivace éphémère très rustique qui est souvent cultivée comme une annuelle.
Les grandes feuilles, velues mais douces au toucher, sont ovales, un peu lancéolées, vert foncé. Les grandes fleurs en doigt de gant ou clochettes mesurant 3 à 6 cm de long pendent en longue grappe d'un seul côté de la tige. Les couleurs sont variées mais comportent des macules marron-pourpre à l'intérieur.
Les bourdons apprécient ces fleurs pourtant toxiques pour nous autres. En effet, toutes les parties de la digitale pourpre - fleurs, feuilles, graines et racines - sont extrêmement toxiques provoquant nausées et troubles cardiaques pouvant entrainer la mort en cas d'ingestion. Cela n'empêche pas d'utiliser la digitaline, son principe actif, par la pharmacie pour traiter des arythmies cardiaques comme la tachycardie.
taken w/ a digicam circa 2006. i got it in 2013 to take pictures that looked like they were taken in the early-mid 2000s. it's called an elph camera and tbh it is an Elf camera b/c it is remarkably good at taking macros. elf eye view.
tw for semi gross medical info: my battle w/ my voice continues. i have had this crazy rattling noise in my throat when i sing for abt 2 yrs now and it is incredibly frustrating, as singing is one of my favorite things to do in this life. i recently had an ENT put a camera down my nose and into my throat and it showed a metric f-ton of mucus and inflammation from severe allergies....my mind was blown when i realized coughing/clearing my throat/swallowing my gallons of post nasal drop actually made the rattling noise stop, albeit briefly before i get congested again. the other day, a pulmonologist re-diagnosed me with asthma and i learned asthma can cause excessive mucus too. i'm hoping with treatment i can regain control over my voice. at least i'm not 21 and having 24-48 hr fits of sneezing anymore --
I took this photograph a couple of years ago, mainly out of boredom. I was standing at the exact spot where I took it, waiting for a friend who was late. The image itself was insignificant. Other views that are more representative of Sitges, a seaside town close to Barcelona, are also available. It's well-known for its beauty and lively atmosphere. It's also where I used to spend my summers during my childhood and early youth.
I thought it wasn't worth sharing, so I decided to delete it. Then I had an idea: I'd try to reinvent the old postcards people bought when I was a kid. They were, somehow, similar to this shot: loud, overexposed, and of poor quality.
With the arrival of foreign tourists, greetings from... began to appear. Previously, it would have been "Recuerdos desde...", always in Spanish because Catalan was publicly forbidden and restricted to family settings.
They used to bear a stamp of some kind, such as a flag or a town shield.
Those who know the place will immediately realize it's a modern image. Apart from the way people are dressed, you can see buildings that didn't exist at that time.
I suppose those who have never seen anything like this, or who are not reading this explanation, won't like the photograph. Anyway, I had a great time editing it.
