Fondé au XIIIe siècle après la découverte d'une statue de la Vierge et symbole de la "Hispanidad", il fut le plus important monastère d'Espagne durant quatre siècles.
C'est là que vint Colomb après son voyage de 1492 pour rendre compte aux Rois Catholiques de son voyage vers les Indes... et c'est là, en 1496, que furent baptisés les premiers Indiens ramenés en Europe.
The Mausoleum of Hadrian, usually known as Castel Sant'Angelo, is a towering cylindrical building in Parco Adriano, Rome, Italy. It was initially commissioned by the Roman Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum for himself and his family. The building was later used by the popes as a fortress and castle, and is now a museum. The Castle was once the tallest building in Rome.
The tomb of the Roman emperor Hadrian, also called Hadrian's mole, was erected on the right bank of the Tiber, between 134 and 139 AD. Originally the mausoleum was a decorated cylinder, with a garden top and golden quadriga. Hadrian's ashes were placed here a year after his death in Baiae in 138, together with those of his wife Sabina, and his first adopted son, Lucius Aelius, who also died in 138. Following this, the remains of succeeding emperors were also placed here, the last recorded deposition being Caracalla in 217. The urns containing these ashes were probably placed in what is now known as the Treasury room deep within the building. Hadrian also built the Pons Aelius facing straight onto the mausoleum – it still provides a scenic approach from the center of Rome and the left bank of the Tiber, and is renowned for the Baroque additions of statues of angels holding aloft elements of the Passion of Christ.
Much of the tomb contents and decorations have been lost since the building's conversion to a military fortress in 401 and its subsequent inclusion in the Aurelian Walls by Flavius Augustus Honorius. The urns and ashes were scattered by Visigoth looters during Alaric's sacking of Rome in 410, and the original decorative bronze and stone statuary were thrown down upon the attacking Goths when they besieged Rome in 537, as recounted by Procopius. An unusual survivor, however, is the capstone of a funerary urn (probably that of Hadrian), which made its way to Saint Peter's Basilica, covered the tomb of Otto II and later was incorporated into a massive Renaissance baptistery. The use of spolia from the tomb in the post-Roman period was noted in the 16th century — Giorgio Vasari writes:
...in order to build churches for the use of the Christians, not only were the most honoured temples of the idols [pagan Roman gods] destroyed, but in order to ennoble and decorate Saint Peter's with more ornaments than it then possessed, they took away the stone columns from the tomb of Hadrian, now the castle of Sant'Angelo, as well as many other things which we now see in ruins.
Legend holds that the Archangel Michael appeared atop the mausoleum, sheathing his sword as a sign of the end of the plague of 590, thus lending the castle its present name. A less charitable yet more apt elaboration of the legend, given the militant disposition of this archangel, was heard by the 15th-century traveler who saw an angel statue on the castle roof. He recounts that during a prolonged season of the plague, Pope Gregory I heard that the populace, even Christians, had begun revering a pagan idol at the church of Santa Agata in Suburra. A vision urged the pope to lead a procession to the church. Upon arriving, the idol miraculously fell apart with a clap of thunder. Returning to St Peter's by the Aelian Bridge, the pope had another vision of an angel atop the castle, wiping the blood from his sword on his mantle, and then sheathing it. While the pope interpreted this as a sign that God was appeased, this did not prevent Gregory from destroying more sites of pagan worship in Rome.
The popes converted the structure into a castle, beginning in the 14th century; Pope Nicholas III connected the castle to St Peter's Basilica by a covered fortified corridor called the Passetto di Borgo. The fortress was the refuge of Pope Clement VII from the siege of Charles V's Landsknechte during the Sack of Rome (1527), in which Benvenuto Cellini describes strolling the ramparts and shooting enemy soldiers.
Leo X built a chapel with a Madonna by Raffaello da Montelupo. In 1536 Montelupo also created a marble statue of Saint Michael holding his sword after the 590 plague (as described above) to surmount the Castel.[6] Later Paul III built a rich apartment, to ensure that in any future siege the pope had an appropriate place to stay.
Montelupo's statue was replaced by a bronze statue of the same subject, executed by the Flemish sculptor Peter Anton von Verschaffelt, in 1753. Verschaffelt's is still in place and Montelupo's can be seen in an open court in the interior of the Castle.
The Papal state also used Sant'Angelo as a prison; Giordano Bruno, for example, was imprisoned there for six years. Another prisoner was the sculptor and goldsmith Benvenuto Cellini. Executions were performed in the small inner courtyard. As a prison, it was also the setting for the third act of Giacomo Puccini's 1900 opera Tosca; the eponymous heroine leaps to her death from the Castel's ramparts.

I am constantly discovering, realizing, and finding the cause of my ignorance.
I am also constantly changing. What I know or capable of a couple months ago might not be the same now, that's what growing feels like I guess.
This week the growth was more tangible, more painful. My ideas and my ability to execute it shows the gap of my inadequacy much more clearer than before. But maybe the gap grows because we're constantly moving forward and thus have broadened our horizon further expanding our creative capabilities. Every time I feel this gap with such clarity I would remind myself that this is what growth feels like, that I need to take another step forward with my storytelling.
I have a really hard time executing my moon food series this week. I went through a lot of disappointments with my work. I never looked at an image and feel so much hate. Hate for failing to show the story I wanted to tell. It's funny that good taste helps us understand how bad we are, how ineffectively we are in telling our story or engaging with our audience. But disappointment serves as a motivation, self-awareness on how to do better the next time.
And I want to thank you. Thank you for the constant understanding that I am using this space for my need to grow.
p.s. Catch up with you late late tomorrow! ❤️ Stay safe.
Sadly, not executed as well as I had hoped for, but I like this shot nevertheless for the expression of movement as well as for the delightful subject. The sheer number of cyclists in Amsterdam and their appearance at considerable speed from all directions is astonishing. There are no overweight Dutch people, they are all so fit!
•52 Church Street is Christ Church Cathedral. In 1816 the stone Christ Church was built by order of Governor Macquarie by convicts. Designed by convict artist Joseph Lycett. The first Bishop of Newcastle was appointed in 1847. Bishop Tyrrell who arrived 1848. The old church of 1816 was used until architect John Horbury Hunt drew up plans for a cathedral and had it demolished. One stone remains in the nave of the current Cathedral. In 1883 Cathedral Hall was built across the road for use as a church whilst the Cathedral was being built. Work began 1883 on the Cathedral but stopped in 1891 as the foundations began to subside. Work restarted in 1902 and was soon finished with marble floors, stained glass windows and a superb Warriors Chapel. The church ran a competition in 1868 for a cathedral to cost no more than £10,000. The winners were Terry and Speechley from Melbourne with John Horbury Hunt as supervising architect. Cost concerns arose and John Horbury Hunt was appointed as the architect. During repairs undertaken after the 1989 Newcastle earthquake the original 1816 church foundation stone was re-positioned within the Cathedral nave. Hunt also designed a Pro-Cathedral opposite which was called Cathedral Hall. It is now the Anglican Newcastle Grammar School. This was used until the opening of the new Cathedral for services in 1902. Kempe of London supplied the stained glass windows in the nave and baptistery in the new Cathedral. It also contains a stained glass jewel: the Dies Domini window designed by Sir Edward Burne-Jones and executed by Morris & Co. of London. The Warriors' Chapel was built in 1924. It was a permanent memorial to all those who died in World War I, especially men and women of Newcastle and the Hunter Valley. The Christ Church burial ground, located on the northern side of the church and now a park and is the first known European burial ground in Newcastle.
U memorijalnom parku Dotrščina spomenik je u čast žrtava fašizma strijeljanima u ovoj šumi. Spomenik je djelo Vojina Bakića (1915.- 1992.), koji je bio istaknuti hrvatski kipar srpskog podrijetla.
Zbog odbijanja svjetla od metalne površine ovog lijepog spomenika, on se mijenja od sata do sata, od jednog do drugog godišnjeg doba. Nikad se ne čini isti.
In memorial park Dotrščina there is a monument in honour of victims of fascism executed in this forest. The monument is work of Vojin Bakić, ( born 1915 , died 1992) who was a prominent Croatian sculptor of Serbian descent.
Due to reflection of the light from the metallic surface of this beautiful monument, it changes from hour to hour and from season to season. It never seems to be the same.

Irving R. Bacon (1875-1962)
Pen and ink with graphite on paper
Executed during Bacon’s Munich period of study at the Royal Academy.
Irving Roscoe Bacon was born in Fitchburg, Massachusetts on November 29, 1875.
Bacon studied with Wm Chase, F. Luis Mora, and at the Royal Academy in Munich. He spent most of his career in Michigan where he was personal artist for Henry Ford.
He died in El Cajon, CA on Nov. 21, 1962.
Exhibits:
Royal Academy, 1909 (medal)
National Academy of Design (New York City), 1910-12
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, 1911, 1912
Art Institute of Chicago, 1911, 1912
----------------------------------
Examples of Bacon's paintings can be seen here: www.thehenryford.org/collections-and-research/digital-col...(Irving%20Reuben),%201875-1962&years=0-0&perPage=10&pageNum=1&sortBy=relevance
===================
FROM THE WEBSITE OF THE HENRY FORD:
Irving R. Bacon worked for Henry Ford as an artist. His work ranged from cartoons in the Ford Times to paintings of artifacts and events at the Edison Institute. His papers include photographs, drawings, and correspondence related to his career with Ford Motor Company and the Edison Institute.
Biographical / Historical Note
Born in 1875 in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, Irving Bacon received his early art training from Joseph Gies at the Art School of the Detroit Museum of Art.
Much of his early work concentrated on illustrations and cartoons, and often his artwork reflected the influence of his travels to the American West.
From 1894 to 1900 he worked as an illustrator at the Detroit Evening News and the Detroit Free Press. He first met Henry Ford through a mutual acquaintance in 1898, when he rode to Royal Oak and back to Detroit on Woodward Avenue in Henry's new automobile.
In 1902 he went to New York City to study at the Chase School of Art and to illustrate for Harper's Weekly and McClure's.
In 1906 he went to the Royal Academy in Munich and studied under Heinrich von Zugel, a noted animal painter. It was there where Bacon acquired his talent for painting landscapes and portraits.
After returning to Detroit in 1910, he once again met Henry Ford, who by this time was a millionaire. Henry became interested in art largely due to the interest and talent of his own son, Edsel.
He purchased a landscape scene from Bacon-a painting, which, according to Bacon, was "certainly not a masterpiece." It was after this meeting that Bacon gained permission from Henry to utilize his large estate for landscape paintings.
In 1913 he received a generous gift of money from his friend Harold Wills (a Ford executive), and once again returned to Munich for further study. His stay was cut short, however, due to the start of World War I.
Upon returning to Detroit, he realized the need for a steady salary in order to adequately support his wife and six children, so he met again with Henry Ford and soon became an employee of the Ford Motor Company, drawing cartoons for the Ford Times and later, illustrations for The Dearborn Independent.
Henry loved Bacon's cartoons, an area of work which Bacon wanted to discontinue. According to Bacon, "That class of work seemed to conflict with my high aims of art. Little did I realize at the time that I was beginning a thirty three year stretch of work for Henry Ford and his great organization that eventually would wean me away from the art world."
Working for Henry at the Ford Motor Company, and later the Edison Institute, Bacon's tasks included painting scenes and portraits that were of great interest to Henry Ford and his Museum and Village. These included portraits of Ford's family and friends, Noah Webster, Luther Burbank, Mark Twain, Dr. George Washington Carver, Stephen Foster, John Burroughs, and others.
He was also responsible for creating paintings of the artifacts located at the institute, and he also acted as stage designer for the Museum's theater.
His interest in photography and motion pictures led him to become the head of the Photographic Department for several years. Bacon retired from the Edison Institute in 1948, and moved to Miami with his second wife. He died in 1962 at the age of 86.
This collection is mainly composed of photographs, drawings, and some correspondence related to Bacon's career with the Ford Motor Company and the Edison Institute. The series within this collection are accordingly arranged to the different aspects involved with the work of Henry Bacon.
There are five series in the collection, the Golden Jubilee painting, Irving Bacon personal materials, Greenfield Village and Henry Ford Museum, Henry Ford related work, and Dearborn Independent.
Series I, Golden Jubilee painting: This series is comprised of pamphlets, notes, lists, correspondence, and photographs related Bacon’s painting entitled "Celebration of the Golden Jubilee of the Invention of the Incandescent Electric Light" also known as the "The Dedication of the Edison Institute of Technology." The Golden Jubilee occurred on October 21, 1929. It is arranged by the sub-series Printed material (1929), Correspondence (1936-1937), and Photographs (dates unknown, but assumed to be between 1920-1938). The photographs, which are mainly portraits of the individuals who attended the events of October 21, 1929, were obtained by Bacon in the years 1936-1938, for the purpose of recreating the dinner scene, some seven to nine years previous. Over 400 individuals attended this dinner, ranging from Henry Ford's personal friends to contemporary world business and political leaders. The number of dinner guests eventually included in Bacon's painting numbered 266. The filing arrangement for the Photographs subseries was left in much the same way that Bacon had organized it, which was by seating arrangements. He categorized his filing system according to "Tables," "Arches," and "Individuals Standing" e.g., Table 1, Arch 1, etc.
Series II, Irving Bacon personal materials: In this series are various materials (1907-1957) which apparently were kept for the personal use and interest of Mr. Bacon. A large portion of this series, theater interests, contains materials on early theater and film actors/actresses. The majority of the materials within this series are photographs, unless otherwise noted.
Series III, Greenfield Village and Henry Ford Museum: This series is an assortment of photographs, mixed with notes and sketches related to subjects found at Greenfield Village and Henry Ford Museum. Bacon collected photographs of the various subjects in order to study them and eventually create a likeness within his own paintings.
Series IV, Henry Ford related work: This series is an example of yet another type of work that Bacon undertook as an employee of Henry Ford. It reflects the personal interests of Henry Ford. Included are miscellaneous printed materials, photographs, sketches, and maps (photographed). The folders have retained the original titles given by Bacon himself.
Series V, Dearborn Independent: Irving Bacon's artwork created for the Dearborn Independent is found within this series (approximately 1925-1935). These oversized materials consist mainly of sketches, prints, and color drawings.

March 2029 - SSA troops execute a mission to locate an abandoned DARKWATER military facility in Sudan. They met no resistance and recovered old DARKWATER technology and documents hidden in the facility. Lucky for them, it did not look like the EU had found the place yet. However, some rooms and certain areas of the facility looked demolished and unrecognisable. Reports indicate the facility has hastily destroyed by DARKWATER units after the head of the facility was executed due to his little care to orders issued by DARKWATER command. Sharp Sky was hired by the Indian government to raid this place. They were hired to find DARKWATER technology for the Indian armed forces that use semi-outdated equipment. This successful mission strengthened relations between Sharp Sky and the Indian government. Unintentionally, this annoyed the European Union’s leaders because they had been the ones who had found many facilities in Eastern Africa and the Middle East. According to found DARKWATER documents, this facility had encountered safety and maintenance problems and had been disbanded.

The Sharp Sky figure in the scene is the new standard for all main SSA figures from now on. Scout and Marksman/Sniper variants aren't official yet.
It has been a busy few weeks, planning and executing a seven part project for one of my favorite clients and squeaking in other work between those shoots. Between at project and my other responsibilities, I have pulled almost a month (maybe more, who can remember) for 7 day work weeks. So, I am headed up to lake Bruin with a few friends for a much-needed couple of days off.
Before I go, I thought I’d throw a few images up on the site that were outtakes from the recent shoots. It’s been a fun project where I had a lot of creative latitude. I feel extraordinarily fortunate to be able to make a living doing something I really love, namely taking pictures. But, when I am doing client work, I am sometimes restricted in what I can post. Such is the life of the freelancer.
Although I do plan on doing some work on a wedding that I recent photographed, this weekend will be more about play than work. Depending on the conditions, I would like to get some shooting in while I am up there. Readers of this blog won’t be surprised to know that I love north Louisiana and the photographs I am occasionally able to capture from the mystical, empty place.
I hope you all have a good weekend and just to keep this site active (I’ve been slack about posting, I know). Here are some of the shots I took recently but which probably won’t make the cut with the client.
Check out more at my blog, for lots of photos, recipes, tech talk, travel writing and other ramblings. I appreciate any feedback but, please do not post graphic awards or invitations in the comments, I'm just not crazy about them. Also, if you want to use any of my Commercial Commons licensed photos please link the attribution back to my blog (listed above) and use my full name, Frank McMains. Thanks!

'DRAMA', The Art Of Laurent Durieux
'Laurent Durieux's magnificent work elevates poster art to a high level. The stunningly executed images express the ideas and themes of the films he has chosen in new terms. They communicate a lot without words and are part of the wonderful tradition of illustrative art. '
Francis Ford Coppola
The exhibition presents around a hundred original posters of the Belgian artist, internationally acclaimed by moviegoers.
THE ABC OF PORN CINEMA
(Prohibited under 18 year old)
In 2013, the ABC, Brussels' last old-school adult cinema still showing 35mm films, was shut down. Its archive, meticulously built over the forty years of its existence, was salvaged by Cinema Nova, allowing the veil of a bygone era devoured by the digital revolution to be lifted.
The exhibition 'The ABC of Porn Cinema' spans four decades of activity by the aforementioned theatre, and in doing so recalls the world that surrounded it. Through numerous documents, posters, hand-painted billboards, engraved press plates and censored photos retrieved from the ABC, plus an accompanying art installation, an obscure part of our culture destined to be buried in the annals of history can once again be rediscovered and reappraised. Indeed, these historical archives are exceptional and unique, unafraid to indulge in humour or to drum up reflection and controversy.

Again for model year 1963 minor restyled details were executed by Brooks Stevens (1911-1995) like a renewed grille and dashboard. Stevens also used thinner upper door frames to improve the visibility. More striking was the elimination of the outdated semi-panoramic windshield. All these measures gave the Lark a more modern look.
Despite all affords and the good reputation and reliability of Studebaker, and the fact that the Lark was relatively cheap (special the V8 versions), sales went down year by year.

Not a well-executed photo, spur of the moment spin and shoot, too much shake and contrast for my liking, but a fond memory. One that might be worth sharing.
Walking along Place Saint Michel and across from the landmark fountain, a section of Paris where the dominant language is definitely English and that could be labeled “tourist central.” Suddenly a waitress in this establishment called out “Take my Picture” in French. Then I turned to see her with a big smile and arms outstretched, snap! This view pretty much sums up most of my interactions with Parisians.
I’m sure that under one of my many Paris photos I’ve mentioned this before, the fact that one of my favorite activities during my three month Paris stay was reading Ernest Hemingway’s “A Movable Feast” reading that book under the allées of the Luxembourg Gardens. I don’t know if I’d ever gotten around to mentioning how the book was named.
In the introduction Hemingway’s son explains that the title was because Ernest Hemingway believed that anyone who spends an amount of time in Paris that experience will follow wherever they go. I couldn’t agree more. And I’m counting the days until I go back, 230 days.
Laocoön and His Sons - a probable marble copy executed between the 1st century BC and I century AD of an original bronze of 150 BC - Pio-Clementine Museum of Vatican Museums
Il gruppo statuario raffigura la fine di Laocoonte e dei suoi due figli Antifante e Timbreo mentre vengono stritolati da due serpenti marini
The statuary group depicts the end of Laocoonte and its two sons Antifante and Timbreo while being crushed by two sea serpents
With tongues flickering in their mouths red,
They like the twin killing stings in their head.
We fled away all bloodless for fear.
But with a braid to Laocoon to tear
They start attacking, and his two sons sing
First the other serpent latched on like a ring,
And with their cruel bite, and sting they fell,
Of tender limbs took many a sorry morsel;
Next they the priest invaded both to entwine,
Whence with his weapons did his body pine
His children for to help and rescue.
Both they about him looped in knots through,
And twice circled his middle round about,
And twice folded their scaly skin but doubt,
About his crown, both neck and head they scrag
Among those executed at Mont-Valérien, 40% were hostages, 60% were 'tried', condemned to death by Nazi German military tribunals and executed by German soldiers.
65% of the executed were communists (entered the Resistance from the end of 1941), 17% were Jewish (out of a proportion in French population of less than 1 %), and 20% were foreigners (like the 'Affiche Rouge' Resistance group members).
The rifles are aimed at the medal worn around the victims neck - the poles behind the statue represent the names, and ages of those executed - during WW1 306 British and Commonwealth soldiers were shot for desertion, cowardice, striking a senior officer, disobeying a lawful command, casting away arms, and sleeping on post.
It is now recognised that several were under age when they volunteered and many were suffering from post traumatic stress disorder, which was not recognised as a medical condition until 1980.
The six trees facing the memorial represent where the firing squad
stood.
A LOT OF THE POLES WHICH STATE THE NAMES OF THOSE EXECUTED SAY AGE UNKNOWN WHICH POSSIBLY INDICATES THAT THEY WERE VERY YOUNG
In 2006 a posthumous pardon was granted for the men....❤️

This is Fort Santiago in Intramuros, Manila, Philippines. Shown at the background is a part of the Rizal Shrine where the national hero's belongings were kept after his execution and also numerous artworks about him. The footprints were made of copper retracing his path towards the execution site (Bagumbayan) now called Luneta. Rizal was executed December 30, 1896 at the age of 35. Below is his poem written in Spanish, "Mi Ultimo Adios", " and the English translation,. "My Last Farewell."
Mi Ultimo Adiós
¡Adiós, Patria adorada, región del sol querida,
Perla del mar de oriente, nuestro perdido Edén!
A darte voy alegre la triste mustia vida,
Y fuera más brillante, más fresca, más florida,
También por ti la diera, la diera por tu bien.
En campos de batalla, luchando con delirio,
Otros te dan sus vidas sin dudas, sin pesar;
El sitio nada importa, ciprés, laurel o lirio,
Cadalso o campo abierto, combate o cruel martirio,
Lo mismo es si lo piden la patria y el hogar.
Yo muero cuando veo que el cielo se colora
Y al fin anuncia el día tras lóbrego capuz;
si grana necesitas para teñir tu aurora,
Vierte la sangre mía, derrámala en buen hora
Y dórela un reflejo de su naciente luz.
Mis sueños cuando apenas muchacho adolescente,
Mis sueños cuando joven ya lleno de vigor,
Fueron el verte un día, joya del mar de oriente,
Secos los negros ojos, alta la tersa frente,
Sin ceño, sin arrugas, sin manchas de rubor
Ensueño de mi vida, mi ardiente vivo anhelo,
¡Salud te grita el alma que pronto va a partir!
¡Salud! Ah, que es hermoso caer por darte vuelo,
Morir por darte vida, morir bajo tu cielo,
Y en tu encantada tierra la eternidad dormir.
Si sobre mi sepulcro vieres brotar un día
Entre la espesa yerba sencilla, humilde flor,
Acércala a tus labios y besa al alma mía,
Y sienta yo en mi frente bajo la tumba fría,
De tu ternura el soplo, de tu hálito el calor.
Deja a la luna verme con luz tranquila y suave,
Deja que el alba envíe su resplandor fugaz,
Deja gemir al viento con su murmullo grave,
Y si desciende y posa sobre mi cruz un ave,
Deja que el ave entone su cántico de paz.
Deja que el sol, ardiendo, las lluvias evapore
Y al cielo tornen puras, con mi clamor en pos;
Deja que un ser amigo mi fin temprano llore
Y en las serenas tardes cuando por mí alguien ore,
¡Ora también, oh Patria, por mi descanso a Dios!
Ora por todos cuantos murieron sin ventura,
Por cuantos padecieron tormentos sin igual,
Por nuestras pobres madres que gimen su amargura;
Por huérfanos y viudas, por presos en tortura
Y ora por ti que veas tu redención final.
Y cuando en noche oscura se envuelva el cementerio
Y solos sólo muertos queden velando allí,
No turbes su reposo, no turbes el misterio,
Tal vez acordes oigas de cítara o salterio,
Soy yo, querida Patria, yo que te canto a ti.
Y cuando ya mi tumba de todos olvidada
No tenga cruz ni piedra que marquen su lugar,
Deja que la are el hombre, la esparza con la azada,
Y mis cenizas, antes que vuelvan a la nada,
El polvo de tu alfombra que vayan a formar.
Entonces nada importa me pongas en olvido.
Tu atmósfera, tu espacio, tus valles cruzaré.
Vibrante y limpia nota seré para tu oído,
Aroma, luz, colores, rumor, canto, gemido,
Constante repitiendo la esencia de mi fe.
Mi patria idolatrada, dolor de mis dolores,
Querida Filipinas, oye el postrer adiós.
Ahí te dejo todo, mis padres, mis amores.
Voy donde no hay esclavos, verdugos ni opresores,
Donde la fe no mata, donde el que reina es Dios.
Adiós, padres y hermanos, trozos del alma mía,
Amigos de la infancia en el perdido hogar,
Dad gracias que descanso del fatigoso día;
Adiós, dulce extranjera, mi amiga, mi alegría,
Adiós, queridos seres, morir es descansar.
José Rizal, 1896
My Last Farewell
Farewell, beloved Country, treasured region of the sun,
Pearl of the sea of the Orient, our lost Eden!
To you eagerly I surrender this sad and gloomy life;
And were it brighter, fresher, more florid,
Even then I’d give it to you, for your sake alone.
In fields of battle, deliriously fighting,
Others give you their lives, without doubt, without regret;
The place matters not: where there’s cypress, laurel or lily,
On a plank or open field, in combat or cruel martyrdom,
It’s all the same if the home or country asks.
I die when I see the sky has unfurled its colors
And at last after a cloak of darkness announces the day;
If you need scarlet to tint your dawn,
Shed my blood, pour it as the moment comes,
And may it be gilded by a reflection of the heaven’s newly-born light.
My dreams, when scarcely an adolescent,
My dreams, when a young man already full of life,
Were to see you one day, jewel of the sea of the Orient,
Dry those eyes of black, that forehead high,
Without frown, without wrinkles, without stains of shame.
My lifelong dream, my deep burning desire,
This soul that will soon depart cries out: Salud!
To your health! Oh how beautiful to fall to give you flight,
To die to give you life, to die under your sky,
And in your enchanted land eternally sleep.
If upon my grave one day you see appear,
Amidst the dense grass, a simple humble flower,
Place it near your lips and my soul you’ll kiss,
And on my brow may I feel, under the cold tomb,
The gentle blow of your tenderness, the warmth of your breath.
Let the moon see me in a soft and tranquil light,
Let the dawn send its fleeting radiance,
Let the wind moan with its low murmur,
And should a bird descend and rest on my cross,
Let it sing its canticle of peace.
Let the burning sun evaporate the rains,
And with my clamor behind, towards the sky may they turn pure;
Let a friend mourn my early demise,
And in the serene afternoons, when someone prays for me,
O Country, pray to God also for my rest!
Pray for all the unfortunate ones who died,
For all who suffered torments unequaled,
For our poor mothers who in their grief and bitterness cry,
For orphans and widows, for prisoners in torture,
And for yourself pray that your final redemption you’ll see.
And when the cemetery is enveloped in dark night,
And there, alone, only those who have gone remain in vigil,
Disturb not their rest, nor the mystery,
And should you hear chords from a zither or psaltery,
It is I, beloved Country, singing to you.
And when my grave, then by all forgotten,
has not a cross nor stone to mark its place,
Let men plow and with a spade scatter it,
And before my ashes return to nothing,
May they be the dust that carpets your fields.
Then nothing matters, cast me in oblivion.
Your atmosphere, your space and valleys I’ll cross.
I will be a vibrant and clear note to your ears,
Aroma, light, colors, murmur, moan, and song,
Constantly repeating the essence of my faith.
My idolized country, sorrow of my sorrows,
Beloved Filipinas, hear my last good-bye.
There I leave you all, my parents, my loves.
I’ll go where there are no slaves, hangmen nor oppressors,
Where faith doesn’t kill, where the one who reigns is God.
Goodbye, dear parents, brother and sisters, fragments of my soul,
Childhood friends in the home now lost,
Give thanks that I rest from this wearisome day;
Goodbye, sweet foreigner, my friend, my joy;
Farewell, loved ones, to die is to rest.
José Rizal, 1896

The F-35 Lightning II executed its first live-fire launch of a guided air-to-air missile over a military test range off the California coast on Oct. 30, 2013. The AIM-120 advanced medium range air-to-air missile (AMRAAM) was fired from an F-35A conventional take-off and landing variant test aircraft. Test data and observers confirmed the F-35 identified and targeted an aerial drone target with its mission systems sensors, passed the target "track" information to the missile, and launched the AIM-120 from the aircraft to engage the drone. After launch, the missile successfully acquired the target and followed an intercept flight profile. Moments before the missile was about to destroy the target, a self-destruct signal was sent to the AIM-120 in order to preserve the aerial drone for use in future tests.

Ambassador Joseph Wilson had already earned a footnote in history before his wife was revealed as a CIA agent, prompting a furious political storm in Washington. As acting ambassador to Iraq in the run-up to the first Gulf War, he was the last US diplomat to meet with Saddam Hussein, in 1991. He very publicly defied the Iraqi strongman by giving refuge to more than 100 US citizens at the embassy and in the homes of US diplomats - at a time when Saddam Hussein was threatening to execute anyone who harboured foreigners. He then addressed journalists wearing a hangman's noose instead of a necktie. He later told the Washington Post newspaper that the message to Saddam Hussein was: "If you want to execute me, I'll bring my own [expletive] rope."
I had plans to execute some photo shoot ideas, but the mosquitoes were too vicious outside. I'll have to settle for editing old photos for now. Any who, this is one of the lovely Laura-Kate I took a few weeks ago.
Recently, I've had this desperation to improve and learn new concepts and techniques in photography. I have been taking photos for years, but I've never actively sought to learn. I am someone who is easily discouraged, so I am often frustrated when I cannot configure a photo to look as it does in my imagination. I have much to discover before I can reach the proficiency I desire.
Leading off the hallway just outside Mrs. Weatherly's boudoir into a private inner courtyard is a door featuring two beautifully executed stained glass panels and a lunette above. The lunette features at bird in a foliate frame, surrounded by losenges of stained glass, whilst the late Victorian era door panels feature four panes of flowers and two panes of birds, all hand painted and expertly coloured in glass.
Built in High Victorian style in 1878 for successful gold miner Robert Wright, Billilla mansion was originally a thirteen room mansion erected on seven and a half acres of land.
When economic boom turned to bust in the 1880s, the property was purchased in 1888 by wealthy New South Wales pastoralist William Weatherly who named it Billilla after his land holdings and established a home there for his wife Jeannie and their children Violet, Gladys and Lionel.
The house was substantially altered by architect Walter Richmond Butler in 1907, extending the house beyond its original thirteen rooms and adding the Art Nouveau façade seen today.
After William Weatherly's death in 1914, his wife, who was much younger, remained living there until her own death in 1933. She bequeathed the property to her daughter, Violet, who maintained the home with reduced staff until her own death in 1972.
The property was purchased in 1973 by the Bayside Council who subsequently used Billilla as a historical house with guided tours, a wedding and events venue, a school and finally in 2009 as an artist's precinct in the property's outbuildings. Billilla is a beautiful heritage property retaining many of its original features thanks to its long private ownership still incorporating a stately formal garden and the magnificent historic house.
Billilla, at 26 Halifax Street, Brighton, is one of Melbourne’s few remaining significant homesteads, built on land which had originally been owned by Nicholas Were. The house has a mixture of architectural styles, featuring a Victorian design with Art Nouveau features and has exquisite formal gardens, which retain much of their original Nineteenth Century layout.
Billilla retains many original Victorian elements and a number of outbuildings still stand to the rear of the property including the butler’s quarters, dairy, meat house, stable garden store and coach house.
Billilla was opened to the general public as part of the Melbourne Open House weekend 2022.
Billilla was used as a backdrop in the 1980 Australian Channel 10 miniseries adaptation of Sumner Locke Elliott's "Water Under the Bridge". It was used at the Sydney harbourside home of Luigi, Honor and Carrie Mazzini.

Street art is visual art created in public locations, usually unsanctioned artwork executed outside of the context of traditional art venues. The term gained popularity during the graffiti art boom of the early 1980s and continues to be applied to subsequent incarnations. Stencil graffiti, wheatpasted poster art or sticker art, and street installation or sculpture are common forms of modern street art. Video projection, yarn bombing and Lock On sculpture became popularized at the turn of the 21st century.
The terms "urban art", "guerrilla art", "post-graffiti" and "neo-graffiti" are also sometimes used when referring to artwork created in these contexts.[1] Traditional spray-painted graffiti artwork itself is often included in this category, excluding territorial graffiti or pure vandalism.
Street art is often motivated by a preference on the part of the artist to communicate directly with the public at large, free from perceived confines of the formal art world.[2] Street artists sometimes present socially relevant content infused with esthetic value, to attract attention to a cause or as a form of "art provocation".[3]
Street artists often travel between countries to spread their designs. Some artists have gained cult-followings, media and art world attention, and have gone on to work commercially in the styles which made their work known on the streets.
The city did not collapse.
It was rewound.
Steel remembered how to pray,
and light learned to orbit itself
like a wound that refuses closure.
These engines are not machines.
They are verdicts.
They spin around the absence of law,
around a center where meaning once knelt
and was executed without witnesses.
Each ring is a sentence
carved into rotational memory.
Each axis hums with confiscated futures.
This is not movement.
It is obedience rehearsed until it broke.
Smoke rises not from combustion
but from thoughts grinding against geometry.
The road becomes a scar
that never belonged to the earth.
The station waits like a mouth
that has forgotten language
yet still opens on schedule.
No passengers arrive.
Only echoes wearing the uniforms of intention.
The engines turn because stopping
would imply forgiveness.
Light fractures itself against polished metal
and calls this reflection “continuity.”
What you see is a ritual of control
performed long after belief expired.
A myth with no gods left to blame.
A technology that prays to nothing
and receives an answer.
This is how the world continues:
not by hope,
but by rotation.

'DRAMA', The Art Of Laurent Durieux
'Laurent Durieux's magnificent work elevates poster art to a high level. The stunningly executed images express the ideas and themes of the films he has chosen in new terms. They communicate a lot without words and are part of the wonderful tradition of illustrative art. '
Francis Ford Coppola
The exhibition presents around a hundred original posters of the Belgian artist, internationally acclaimed by moviegoers.
THE ABC OF PORN CINEMA
(Prohibited under 18 year old)
In 2013, the ABC, Brussels' last old-school adult cinema still showing 35mm films, was shut down. Its archive, meticulously built over the forty years of its existence, was salvaged by Cinema Nova, allowing the veil of a bygone era devoured by the digital revolution to be lifted.
The exhibition 'The ABC of Porn Cinema' spans four decades of activity by the aforementioned theatre, and in doing so recalls the world that surrounded it. Through numerous documents, posters, hand-painted billboards, engraved press plates and censored photos retrieved from the ABC, plus an accompanying art installation, an obscure part of our culture destined to be buried in the annals of history can once again be rediscovered and reappraised. Indeed, these historical archives are exceptional and unique, unafraid to indulge in humour or to drum up reflection and controversy.

On most railroad photo shoots, run-bys are initiated out of sight of the photo line from around a curve or behind a stand of trees. This serves two purposes. It gives the locomotive crew time to gently accelerate their train to the proper speed and it allows videographers to shoot the entire pass from the time the train becomes visible until it is past the viewer. In some situations however, there is not enough time to go through this process.
This image, from the November, 2022 photo shoot with Norfolk & Western #611 at the Strasburg Rail Road clearly illustrates such a situation. We are just moments after sunrise in the Fairview section of the line and the rays of the rising sun are casting golden light on the subject and its exhaust plume. This color light will last only a couple of minutes. Backing the 611 and her train out of sight beyond Esbenshade Crossing will consume more time than we have. Therefore, the Photo Line Coordinator has called for a "hard start", meaning he's asked the locomotive crew to stop where they are and bring the train forward as expeditiously as possible. Just a second or two after the throttle is opened, the locomotive belches a tall, vertical plume, while steam from her cylinder cocks totally obscures the running gear as the big Northern makes a max effort to get underway. One minute later, this train will be running past the photo line and the desired shot will be achieved.
Mehringplatz, Kreuzberg, Berlín, Deutschland.
Mehringplatz es una plaza redonda en el extremo sur del barrio de Friedrichstadt en Kreuzberg, Berlín. Marca el extremo sur de Friedrichstraße. Hasta 1970, tanto Lindenstraße como Wilhelmstrasse la llevaron. En 1947 fue renombrada después del publicista Franz Mehring (1846-1919).
Ubicación de Mehringplatz en Friedrichstadt, Berlín
Mehringplatz es una de las tres plazas prominentes establecidas alrededor de 1730 en el curso de la extensión barroca de la ciudad bajo rey Frederick Guillermo I de Prusia, junto con Pariser Platz (Karree anterior) y Leipziger Platz (Octagon). Debido a su forma circular, Mehringplatz fue nombrado inicialmente Rondell; Pero el 22 de octubre de 1815, fue renombrado Belle-Alliance-Platz después de la Batalla de La Belle Alliance, un nombre alternativo para la Batalla de Waterloo que era entonces popular en Prusia. Rondell era la entrada meridional a Berlín vía Hallesches Tor, una puerta en la pared más nueva de la ciudad en la carretera de salida a Halle.
El circo fue reformado durante la década de 1830, incluyendo la erección de la Friedenssäule ("Columna de la Paz") con una estatua de Victoria por Christian Daniel Rauch en 1843. El área fue completamente devastada en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, particularmente en un ataque aéreo el 3 de febrero 1945 y la Batalla de Berlín que siguió. En la década de 1960, Mehringplatz fue reconstruida como una zona peatonal situada en el centro de una gran zona de viviendas sociales según un plan concebido por Hans Scharoun, que fue ejecutado en última instancia por el arquitecto berlinés Werner Düttmann. Durante la década de 1990, la instalación de murales llamativos se utilizó para decorar las paredes inferiores de las áreas del patio de los bloques de viviendas.
Mehringplatz is a round plaza at the southern tip of the Friedrichstadt neighbourhood in Kreuzberg, Berlin. It marks the southern end of Friedrichstraße. Until 1970 both Lindenstraße and Wilhelmstrasse led into it. In 1947 it was renamed after the publicist Franz Mehring (1846–1919).
Mehringplatz is one of three prominent squares laid out about 1730 in the course of the city's Baroque extension under King Frederick William I of Prussia, along with Pariser Platz (former Karree) and Leipziger Platz (Octagon). Due to its circular shape, Mehringplatz was initially named Rondell; but on 22nd October 1815, it was renamed Belle-Alliance-Platz after the Battle of La Belle Alliance, an alternative name for the Battle of Waterloo that was then popular in Prussia. Rondell was the southern entrance to Berlin via Hallesches Tor, a gate on the newer city wall on the outbound road to Halle.
The circus was refurbished during the 1830s, including the erection of the Friedenssäule ("Peace Column") with a statue of Victoria by Christian Daniel Rauch in 1843. The area was completely devastated in World War Two, particularly in an air raid on 3rd February 1945 and the Battle of Berlin which followed. In the 1960s Mehringplatz was redeveloped as a pedestrian zone located at the centre of a large social housing area according to a plan conceived by Hans Scharoun, which was ultimately executed by the Berlin architect Werner Düttmann (de). During the 1990s, the installation of striking murals was used to decorate the lower walls of the courtyard areas of the housing blocks.
