Gustav Klimt was an Austrian Symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Art Nouveau (Vienna Secession) movement. His major works include paintings, murals, sketches, and other art objects, many of which are on display in the Vienna Secession gallery. Klimt's primary subject was the female body,and his works are marked by a frank eroticism.

.... this is a short-long report on the traditional feast of St. Philip which takes place in Limina (Sicily), this feast is held over two days:

the first day of feast takes place early in the month of May (this year On 11-05-2013), with the procession which reaches up to the district of "Murazzo"; the second day of feast takes place the third Sunday in May, called the "eighth" (this year On 19-05-2013).

St. Philip in antiquity was sent by the then pope in the land of Sicily, to evangelize the Gentiles, and cast out demons hiding in the island. The Sicilian town of Limina, dedicates to St. Philip a very typical festival, full of devotion and traditions (which in fact takes place in two non-consecutive days in the month of May).

The float with the Black Holy is carried on shoulders, high up on the hill called "Calvario", then the float returns to the country and here the Saint is rushed back and forth, but is also twirled rapidly; then the saint is again carried out of the country, reaching the district of "Durbi ", then He goes fastly back again to Limina ... and here the Black Holy of Limina continues its race-dance .....for a long long time.....

   

THE GOOSE SHED

Y Cwt Gwyddau

 

I came once, upon a night

- Ghastly jaunt with no delight –

After wandering wide astray,

Upon a fine girl, fresh as may.

“Have you sought me long?” said she,

“A keen lover you must be!”

“Of course I am! Expectation’s

Driving me to desperation!”

 

Suddenly a savage chap

Leapt, like stag or lightning clap,

Roared like a lion giving chase,

Wrathful grimace on his face,

With jealous ire. “Touch not my wife!”

By God! I feared for my life!

I have a brain, and so I ran:

Pale youth flies from cuckold-man.

 

“Have you a spur, spiked and cruel

Fit to fight me in a duel?

Else I’ll spear you through the liver

With only cywyddau in your quiver!”

 

I found a goose-shed, safe haven

- Call me chicken, call me craven –

I said, immune to disgrace,

“There is no better hiding place.”

A hollow-nostrilled mother goose

With cape of feathers hanging loose

Came upon me – O! Alack!

Pinions bristling for attack!

Brindle bully, grey-lag goose,

Heron-sister, scorns a truce,

Comes upon me hard, pell-mell,

Her grizzled wings the doors of hell!

 

Next day my love said with tact,

Pursed of lip, words exact,

That indeed she thought it worse

Than her husband’s hateful curse

To see an ancient goose molesting

Me! Horrid wails: my protesting

Rent her heart: it distressed her

More than if the men of Chester

Had defrayed me with their jibes.

And now I mutter diatribes:

Mother goose, to save my face

I long to bring you some disgrace:

Crack your wishbone, pluck you bare.

Brazen goose, you’d best beware!

  

-Dafydd ap Gwilym, paraphrased by Giles Watson. In contrast to his more literary efforts, Dafydd wrote a number of poems which owed more to the fabileaux tradition of Reynard the Fox than to courtly notions of unrequited love. The opening line is a standard beginning for such poems. Even here, however, Dafydd was an innovator, invariably making himself the figure of fun, with a self-irony which is endearing to this day. Given the frivolity of the original, I have abandoned the pararhymes of some of my more measured paraphrases. The reference to the “men of Chester” is present in the original, and is, alas, quite obscure. It seems that in this case the jilted husband had no fear of the bard’s devastating recourse to satire, since he taunts the poet that his cywyddau (consonant rhyming poems with seven-syllable lines) are useless in a fight. It certainly seems that they were of little use in combat with a goose. The final couplet has affinities with the horrid promise at the end of Dafydd’s poem about the truthful magpie, but it is safe to assume that the gentle poet never carries out his threats.

One of the 100 statues in Sir Antony Gormley's "Another Place" installation. I got here just as the tide was coming in and need to go back when there's more beach. Taken with a 16 stop ND filter.

I'm trying to make a working Newton's Cradle in Cinema 4D using just the built in MoDynamics, no keyframes.

Going for a walk in the middle of a forest somewhere, and my brother decided to take the 'better route', up a small hill, unfortunately, he got stuck. But I took his misfortune as a chance to get a mysterious silhouette shot, which I'm quite pleased with. (He managed to get the down by the way, we didn't just leave him up there..)

Not sure who wrote this in the booth at Hovey, or when, but yes, it is kind of unexpected. :)

"The threshold is the place of expectation." -- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

50/70, soft pastel

This work is a combination of symbols and colours that are linked together to bring a sense of expectation to the viewer. One of my favourite materials is soft pastel so I carefully drew the outline of the figures, trying to make them look real. The colour of the cartoon is a combination of red and brown, which gives a sense of mystery and "suspense", making the figure of the angel shining.

  

A westbound BNSF empty coal train accelerates west next to the small field at Washington Street where the new town hall is with a very interesting power set! The set in particular here is a duo of relatively fresh rebuilt NS AC44C6Ms with #4862 in the lead and #4812 second! This was quite the surprise hearing about this duo sitting at Western Avenue and I was eager for it to make it out onto the Racetrack in daylight! However it took almost the whole day for it to get a crew but a little bit before 4pm this guy was hauling through downtown DG in some pretty decent afternoon light!

 

Over the summer, NS had been sending fresh C6Ms west on the BNSF coal trains that come from Michigan and it was a neat change from all the faded units normally seen (btw yes I will always enjoy an SD70ACE or two on these trains)! Unfortunately I hadn’t been able to capture any of these fresh units headed west due to them showing up out of nowhere up until this point so it was finally nice to get one in the lead!

 

Now this is where things get weird about these locomotives. First off, #4862 didn’t originally work for NS back when it was first built as a Dash 9. But rather, as BNSF C44-9W #4800 built in 1998 and later sold back to GE sometime in the early 2020s (and I guess you could say this guy was “on home rails” but for now let’s just say familiar territory lol)! NS has been buying up some ex BNSF Dash 9s cast away by the big orange railroad and having them rebuilt by Wabtec/GE at Erie, PA (this truly goes to show NS has caught a rebuild fever lol)! The other unit (4812) isn’t as shiny but is still relatively new this year and while searching around for its original road number, I realized I had seen it previously as a Dash 9! The original Dash 9 in particular was NS #9637 originally built in 2001 and painted in the classic thoroughbred paint scheme! And funny enough I do have my catch of 9637 uploaded on this site (first link below) so this sure turned out to be an interesting search indeed!

 

And to end off here is the full history of these units summarized in a smaller fashion:

 

NS AC44C6M #4862 (ex BNSF/GECX C44-9W #4800)

 

NS AC44C6M #4812 (ex NS C44-9W #9637)

 

Yeah not much of a history here for these two units lol. But as I type this “essay”, the CEFX AC4400CW units acquired by NS in 2023 have been getting rebuilt by Wabtec/GE in Fort Worth, TX and are already out for delivery! These are the first units NS has rebuilt that already have AC traction motors equipped and they will also be retaining their original NS 3900 series roadnumbers!

 

And as “promised” here is NS #9637 (now 4812) in action back in 2023! This was an interesting catch indeed due to it leading a leased WFRX (ex BNSF) SD70MAC!

And lastly I’d also like to credit where I got all this locomotive info from so here I present “NSDash9.com” which is a railfan site dedicated to spreading news and up to date listing on the Norfolk Southern locomotive roster (now I’m starting to wonder what that site will be renamed to once all the D9s are rebuilt lol)!

Expectation can be wildly overrated anyways.
