The Princess Bride evokes a nostalgic feeling in me...it was a time when I was young and also before I even knew that evil people like Trump existed but Prince Humperdink did seem pretty bad.
Chiditarod is a magical time space where all elements of pop culture share the same space in order to raise money for charity but one thing I've noticed is how current fads may come and go but the older films and references are solid and return.
When someone asked me what my favorite cart was for the year, I told him I supposed it was The Princess Bride because of my fondness of the film. He didn't understand why so many girls liked the film. I told him it was because it had everything-mystery, romance, dueling, battle of wits....what film has a fire swamp and a slow tolerance to iocane powder in the same film? Plus, Andre the Giant!
But, I admitted it wasn't a perfect film. For one, there's no people of color in the film aside from Mandy Patinkin who is Jewish and when Andre the Giant puts on a "Holocaust Cloak" it is (rightfully) scary but also black and this isn't lost on me. Why is black scary?
Anyway, if we lived in a perfect world where I was still a kid and racism didn't exist, the Perfect Bride would be closer to perfect as well.
I still really loved this cart. But, it wasn't the cynical every day me who loved it. It was the child in me who wanted the world to be a better place.

Artists Statement
This dramatic painting captures the raw power and beauty of a sunset over the Bennachie ridge in Aberdeenshire, Christmas Eve 2024.
The artistās bold use of sweeping, swirling brushstrokes creates a sense of movement and turbulence in the sky, as if the clouds themselves are caught in a restless dance. The rich, vibrant colours, purples, pinks, and dark inky blues, spill across the canvas, contrasting sharply with the fiery red and yellow glow of the skyline.
The silhouette of the Bennachie hills rises starkly against the tumultuous sky, their forms carved by the intensity of the surrounding light. The large, expressive brushwork injects energy into the scene, amplifying the emotional impact of natureās wild, ever-changing beauty. This painting not only captures the awe-inspiring landscape, but also evokes the powerful forces of nature that shape it.
This was my final version of this, I'll post some predecessors over the coming weeks if I remember to show how this piece grew in complexity as I worked on it.

Mediobogdum Roman Fort Wall slightly rebuilt defending history and evoking mystery against a backdrop of towering majesty in Eskdale 1 of 4
This historic site needs no reflection to admire the work of our ancestors and of nature, but the reflections do add to my consideration and appreciation.
Evening approaches and the shadow slightly encroaches on your imagination building and extending possible former construction and stirring ideas of formal occupation and informal habitation. This fort is built near the mountain passes that vehicles struggle across. To see the well set stone amongst the transformed landscape is to be amongst living food for the soul. Well it is if you have your way of enjoying history.
The feelings so easily generated here give you an insight into the way we humans focus on an importance and build around it, but when our human systems change we walk away from our former focus and take away the resources we were investing. Then the historic value gives us focus renewed to map, to rebuild a little and to conserve the memory making place. The history of this one Roman Fort positioned along a trade route near the edge of a vast Empire still standing near the narrow single track byway that never attracted industrial traffic and road building tells us much about ourselves and human interest.
Mediobogdum Roman Fort on Hardknott Pass in the Lake District has some great slightly rebuilt ruins. The light on this evening was a splendid Sun bath and banquet lighting the way to older notions and even initiation upon a ladder of lights that illuminated all of the ways to become enlightened, ignited and rejoicing in the light. This remote mountain pass with amazing ruin is an almost unbelievable location to find history and to enjoy mystery.

Corie's a fellow photographer, which makes it an added joy to shoot her, as I don't have to stop to explain things, and can instead strip-mine her brain for tips and such.
I also got the sense that (and I could of course be way off-base, here) she's not a strange person.
I say that because I AM a strange person, and every once in awhile I'd notice her get a subtle, "boy, he's a bit strange isn't he?" expression on her face.
But she didn't run screaming, or beg off with a hastily conceived excuse, so I guess it didn't go too badly.
Ah hell, who am I kidding, it went great! She's a great model, very relaxed, got a look I adore.
AND LOOK AT THESE GLASSES!!!!! SO AWESOME. Sorry. So awesome.

This photograph captures the entrance of a small eatery in Bari, Italy, specializing in traditional Italian street food. The wooden double doors are painted with colorful illustrations of food items and vibrant red text. Above the doors, a sign reads "Rosticceria - Focacceria - Friggitoria," indicating the shop offers roasted, baked, and fried delicacies. The name "L'Arte Della Focaccia 2 Dirello" is prominently displayed, emphasizing its focus on the art of making focaccia. The hand-painted food illustrations and text on the doors showcase the specialties offered, such as focacce, panzerotti, rustici, arancini, and calzoni, evoking a sense of local culinary tradition.
The dishes advertised are quintessential elements of Puglian cuisine. Focaccia, a specialty in Bari, is a soft, thick bread often topped with tomatoes, olives, and a drizzle of olive oil, offering a delightful mix of crisp and fluffy textures. Panzerotti, another regional favorite, are crescent-shaped turnovers filled with ingredients like mozzarella, tomato sauce, or ham, then fried to perfection. These handheld snacks are beloved for their rich, savory filling encased in a golden crust.
The menu also features rustici and arancini. Rustici are puff pastry circles filled with bĆ©chamel sauce, mozzarella, and tomato, baked until flaky and golden. Arancini, on the other hand, are fried rice balls typically stuffed with ragĆ¹, peas, and cheese, forming a crispy exterior with a creamy, flavorful interior. Lastly, calzoniāsimilar to pizza but foldedāare filled with various ingredients, such as ricotta, ham, or spinach, and baked or fried to seal in the flavors. These dishes reflect the region's rich culinary heritage, offering locals and visitors a taste of Bariās street food culture.

Uno de los lugares con mĆ”s misterio de la penĆnsula ibĆ©rica lo encontramos en la bonita poblaciĆ³n portuguesa de Sintra, patrimonio de la humanidad. AllĆ, en la misteriosa villa del Palacio da Regaleira, descubriremos, casi oculto por la naturaleza, una puerta giratoria de piedra desde la que entraremos a un gran pozo de origen masĆ³nico con una gran cruz de la orden de Rosacruz. Este inmenso pozo misterioso, con una eterna escalera en espiral, parece evocar, segĆŗn los expertos, los nueve cĆrculos del infierno, los del paraiso o los del purgatorio. Sea lo que sea, lo cierto es que el visitante quedĆ”rĆ” impregnado de espiritualidad y misterio cuando estĆ© en su interior. AcompaƱado de las gotas de agua que caen del techo, el viajero podrĆ” descender hasta la cruz masĆ³nica para mĆ”s tarde ser conducidos por unas oscuras grutas que nos llevarĆ”n a la salida.

One of the most mysterious places of the Iberian Peninsula is found in the beautiful Portuguese town of Sintra, World Heritage. There, in the mysterious town of Regaleira Palace, discover, almost hidden by nature, a revolving door of stone from which to enter into a deep pit of Masonic origin with a great cross by Rosicrucian. This vast mysterious shaft in an eternal spiral staircase, seems to evoke, according to experts, the nine circles of hell, those of paradise or purgatory. Whatever, the fact is that the visitor will be imbued with spirituality and mystery when inside. Accompanied by water drops falling from the ceiling, the traveler may descend to the Masonic cross to later be driven by dark caves that will lead to the exit.
Taken in the old sqare of Prague in the october 2018 during the Signla festival. The gamble in the photo, was playng her game during a little manifestation of the Signla festival (the image projected on the wall). When I noted that, I tiied to compose the photo using both.
What do you think about this photo? If you want, please, leave a comment :) Ciao e buona luce!!!
A single tree with vivid orange leaves stands in a field of dry grass, centered in the frame. Behind it, a dense forest of dark evergreen trees creates a dramatic contrast. The scene evokes autumn, solitude, and natural beauty.

As a child I used to love journeying on the trains, and I loved the the da- da- da- da, da-da-da-da sound of the wheels over the tracks, and the smell of the burned coal, and the corridors from where you can walk up and down the whole train, and looking through the windows seeing the beautiful English countryside roll by, but most of all I loved the photographs that they had in the compartments; places that I thought were exotic and exciting, the whole English landscape a seemingly inexhaustible subject. I thought I would try to evoke that feeling with this series of images. View On Black

Another shot from last weekends London Flickr Group Photowalk in and around the Kings Cross / St Pancras area.
Our starting point was under the clock of Kings Cross Station but on reflection this massive statue called 'The Meeting Place' in the adjaacent St Pancras station would've been a good option too........
You can see other photos from the Photowalk here : www.flickr.com/groups/londonflickrgroup/discuss/721577198...
If you're interested in joining us for future Photowalks then I'd suggest joining the London Flickr Group and keeping an eye on the discussion threads.
From Wikipedia, "There are several works of art on public display at St Pancras. A 9-metre (29.5 ft) high 20-tonne (19.7-long-ton; 22.0-short-ton) bronze statue titled The Meeting Place stands at the south end of the upper level beneath the station clock. It was designed by the British artist Paul Day to evoke the romance of travel through the depiction of a couple locked in an amorous embrace. Controversy was caused by Day's 2008 addition of a bronze relief frieze around the plinth, depicting a commuter falling into the path of an Underground train driven by the Grim Reaper. Day revised the frieze before the final version was installed."

"I consider lace to be one of the prettiest imitations ever made of the fantasy of nature; lace always evokes for me those incomparable designs which the branches and leaves of trees embroider across the sky, and I do not think that any invention of the human spirit could have a more graceful or precise origin."

I was a little concerned about the focus in this shot (and four or five others in the series) when I viewed it on my computer because it seemed a little off. Then I realized that the beach was hazy that morning, and 600mm did tend to accentuate that haze. Whew! :)
That big bird, BTW, is a pelican, and I find it a bit mood-evoking that it and the girl did not seem to be aware of each other, like a melancholic image of "two ships passing in the night." :)

āThe Red Butterflyāis a fascinating surrealist digital artwork. It features a large wall with a door and a raised window, evoking mystery and curiosity. A human figure stands on the sidewalk in front of the wall, surrounded by objects such as a worn suitcase and a fire hydrant, which add to the enigmatic charm of the scene. Above, a huge butterfly floats, casting its shadow on the wall and intensifying the surreal aura. The pastel colors are harmonious and delicate, enhancing the visual impact of the work. This work is a perfect example of classic surrealism, beautifully executed and engaging.

The composition, with the boats gently tethered to the shore, evokes a sense of calm and timelessness. The choice of Ilford XP2 film brings out the textures of the sand and the subtle reflections on the water beautifully, adding depth to the scene.
The use of the Fujifilm TX-1 and the Fujinon 40mm lens really shines here, capturing a wide yet intimate view of this coastal moment. The shadows and highlights are perfectly balanced, giving the photo a classic, almost nostalgic feel.
This image reminds me of the work of Elliott Erwitt, particularly in how it captures a simple, everyday scene with such elegance and tranquility. The detailsāthe footprints in the sand, the stillness of the waterāmake this photograph truly captivating.

A partir de Barcelinhos, a Capela de Nossa Senhora da Ponte, com a sua cobertura piramidal e alpendre, destaca-se na margem do CĆ”vado, evocando a sua funĆ§Ć£o protetora para os viajantes que outrora atravessavam a ponte medieval, Monumento Nacional construĆdo no sĆ©culo XIV. A paisagem integra o nĆŗcleo histĆ³rico de Barcelos, onde as ruĆnas do PaƧo dos Condes, exemplar da arquitetura gĆ³tica e atual Museu ArqueolĆ³gico, se erguem junto Ć torre da Igreja Matriz. Este local, ponto nevrĆ”lgico do Caminho de Santiago, testemunha a importĆ¢ncia do rio CĆ”vado no desenvolvimento urbano e estratĆ©gico da cidade. A ponte medieval, outrora essencial para o comĆ©rcio entre Barcelos e Barcelinhos, reflete a interligaĆ§Ć£o entre infraestrutura, devoĆ§Ć£o popular e poder senhorial, moldando a paisagem cultural do Minho e mantendo viva a memĆ³ria de sĆ©culos de histĆ³ria e fĆ©.
From Barcelinhos, the Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Ponte, with its pyramidal roof and porch, stands out on the banks of the CƔvado River, evoking its protective function for travelers who once crossed the medieval bridge, a National Monument built in the 14th century. The landscape is part of the historic center of Barcelos, where the ruins of the PaƧo dos Condes, an example of Gothic architecture and now the Archaeological Museum, stand next to the tower of the Mother Church. This location, a key point on the Way of St. James, bears witness to the importance of the CƔvado River in the urban and strategic development of the city. The medieval bridge, once essential for trade between Barcelos and Barcelinhos, reflects the interconnection between infrastructure, popular devotion, and seigneurial power, shaping the cultural landscape of Minho and keeping alive the memory of centuries of history and faith.
Evoking memories of the Class 40 workings over the Settle-Carlisle line in the 1980s by the "progenitor" of the class, later 1961-build class member 40145 makes its enigmatic presence known in Dentdale as it heads the 1Z44 14:38 Appleby to Skipton service on Saturday 12th September 2020. Take your pick over the service name, either the 'North Pennine Staycation Express' or the 'Appleby Round Table Express', but this scene in summer 2020 was nothing short of remarkable.

Stourhead Gardens, Stourton, Wiltshire UK.
A National Trust Property.
The lake at Stourhead is artificially created. Following a path around the lake is meant to evoke a journey similar to that of Aeneas's descent in to the underworld. In addition to Greek mythology, the layout is evocative of the "genius of the place", a concept expounded by Alexander Pope. Buildings and monuments are erected in remembrance of family and local history. Henry Hoare was a collector of art; one of his pieces was Claude Lorrain's Aeneas at Delos, which is thought to have inspired the pictorial design of the gardens. Passages telling of Aeneas's journey are quoted in the temples surrounding the lake.
Monuments are used to frame one another; for example the Pantheon designed by Flitcroft entices the visitor over, but once reached, views from the opposite shore of the lake beckon. The use of the sunken path allows the landscape to continue on into neighbouring landscapes, allowing the viewer to contemplate all the surrounding panorama. The Pantheon was thought to be the most important visual feature of the gardens. It appears in many pieces of artwork owned by Hoare, depicting Aeneas's travels. The plantings in the garden were arranged in a manner that would evoke different moods, drawing visitors through realms of thought. According to Henry Hoare, 'The greens should be ranged together in large masses as the shades are in painting: to contrast the dark masses with the light ones, and to relieve each dark mass itself with little sprinklings of lighter greens here and there.'
The gardens were designed by Henry Hoare II and laid out between 1741 and 1780 in a classical 18th-century design set around a large lake, achieved by damming a small stream. The inspiration behind their creation were the painters Claude Lorrain, Poussin, and, in particular, Gaspard Dughet, who painted Utopian-type views of Italian landscapes. An early feature, predating the lake, is the Temple of Flora (1744ā46). Lakeside features include the five-arched Palladian Bridge at the eastern extremity of the lake; the Rockwork Bridge over the road to the south of the lake; and to the west the grotto and the Gothic Cottage summerhouse.
Also in the garden are a number of temples inspired by scenes of the Grand Tour of Europe. On one hill overlooking the gardens stand an obelisk of 1839 and King Alfred's Tower, a 50-metre-tall, brick folly designed by Henry Flitcroft in 1772; on another hill the temple of Apollo provides a vantage point to survey the magnificent rhododendrons, water, cascades and temples. The large medieval Bristol High Cross was moved from Bristol to the gardens. The gardens are home to a large collection of trees and shrubs from around the world.
Richard Colt Hoare, the grandson of Henry Hoare II, inherited Stourhead in 1783. He added the library wing to the mansion, and in the garden was responsible for the building of the boathouse and the removal of several features that were not in keeping with the classical and gothic styles (including a Turkish Tent). He also considerably enhanced the planting ā the Temple of Apollo rises from a wooded slope that was planted in Colt Hoare's time. With the antiquarian passion of the times, he had 400 ancient burial mounds dug up to inform his pioneering History of Ancient Wiltshire.
The gardens were listed Grade I on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of special historic interest in 1987.
