Francesco Basilicata was an Italian cartographer and military engineer, who lived in Crete for several years, in the service of the Venetian Republic. Basilicata probably arrived on the island in 1609. He kept on enriching his drawings until the end of his life (probably around 1638, the date of his last manuscript). His long stay on the island obviously provided him with numerous opportunities to verify his drawings "in situ" and to improve them continually.
Basilicata often dedicated his works to high-ranking officials of the Venetian administration, either to curry their favour or because drawing was part of his brief as a military engineer. This “Atlas”, probably composed in the years 1618-1619, was dedicated to Natale Donato, Provveditore of the Cavalry in Candia, and accompanied by a lengthy report ("Relazione") on Crete, which expands on the fortifications and defence strategies, but also discusses the geography, history, archaeology, administration and economy of the island.
In his maps, Basilicata highlights the topography and the morphology of each region through skillful use of colour. He takes special care to represent every detail of economic importance, both in the coastal areas and in the military positions. Drawn with artistry and aesthetically pleasing alternations of colour, the maps are impressive for the harmonious distribution of spaces and the cartographer’s fondness for minutiae.
They depict villages, saltpans, gardens, mills, wells and even trees. Special prominence is given to military installations, such as bastions, barracks, warehouses, shipyards and harbour works. The manner of representation, sometimes from afar and above, sometimes from the side of the sea and at others from inland, was unusual and original for the time. Basilicata’s map of Crete was acknowledged to be the most precise of the period, and served as a model for the maps by M. Boschini and V. M. Coronelli.

İtalyan asıllı haritacı ve ordu mühendisi Francesco Basilicata Venedik Cumhuriyeti görevlisi olarak uzun süre Girit'te yaşar. Büyük olasılıkla 1609 yılında Girit'e gelip ömrü boyunca burada resim çizer (son elyazmasının tarihine göre ölüm yılı 1638 olarak saptanıyor). Adada uzun süre kalışı sayesinde çizimlerinin doğruluğunu tekrar tekrar kanıtlama ve geliştirme olanağına sahipti.
Eserlerini çoğunlukla yüksek rütbeli Venedikli yöneticilere adamaktaydı. Bunun nedeni üsttekilerinin teveccühünü sağlaması yada ordu mühendisi olarak görev ve sorumlulukları dahilinde olabilir. Burada söz konusu olan ve 1618-1619 yıllarında yapıldığı sanılan "Atlas", Kandiye'de süvari birliği levazımcısı Natale Donato'ya adanmış olup Girit hakkında uzun bir raporla (Relazione) tamamlanmakta. Raporda, adanın tahkimat ve savunma türleri dışında, doğal coğrafya, tarih, arkeoloji, yönetim ve ekonomisi önemle kaydedilmektedir.
Basilicata, yaptığı haritalarda, renkleri ustaca kullanarak çeşitli yörelerin topografya ve morfolojisini vurgulayıp, hem deniz alanında hem askerî mevkilerde ekonomik önem taşıyan her ayrıntının sergilenmesine özen gösterir. Sanat anlayışıyla ve güzelduyulu renk bağdaştırmalarıyla çizilmiş olan bu haritalarda mekânların uyumlu düzeni ve ayrıntıya gösterilen tercih göze çarpmaktadır. Sergilenen konular arasında köyler, tuzlalar, bahçe, değirmen, kuyu, hatta ağaç bile var. Tabya, kışla, depo, tersane ve liman inşaatı gibi ordu tesisatlarına özel önem verilmiştir. Çizimlerde, kuşbakışı, uzaktan, deniz tarafı, kara tarafı gibi çeşitli açılardan verilen manzaralar o sıralarda alışılmamış ve özgün bir görüntüleme biçimiydi. Basilicata'nın Girit haritası zamanının en doğru haritası olarak tanınıp M. Boschini ve V.M. Coronelli tarafından model olarak kullanılmıştır.

The Iron Ring is worn on the little finger ("pinky") of the working (dominant) hand
The ring can be made of iron or stainless steel. The latter is more popular because iron is prone to rust and most Universities have discontinued offering rings made of iron as an option. (Only Toronto area schools continue with the tradition of offering graduates a choice of stainless steel or iron). The ring shown is made of stainless steel.

I discovered last night, whilst taking photos of the Clifton Suspension Bridge, that my Sony DT 1.8/50 SAM lens suffers from extreme amounts of sensor reflection in situations with bright spots of light. Whilst it delivers a cool effect in some instances (I think I like the reflection more than the real image in this picture), it's irritating that I can't seem to get rid of it in shots that I don't want it.
