LA RACCOLTA DEI MITILI.
Le prime notizie di allevamento di mitili nel Golfo di Trieste risalgono al 1732 quale sottoprodotto delle più importanti e remunerative colture di ostriche.
Con questa foto vi farò conoscere degli aspetti minori,ma non meno interessanti, della costiera triestina,sopratutto della zona Miramare-Barcola.Il castello lo sfiorerò appena,dato che è l'elemento più fotografato della zona.Spero di non annoiarvi eccessivamente.....

#Flickr21DayChallenge - Day 15, Joy
IMG_3263
This morning I had grounds in my coffee, so I brewed another cup and you would not believe what I found in this cup,
A few years ago my brother (St Giles of Assisi) rescued a poor German Shepherd from his miserable life in Spain. For years he had been confined at the end of a short chain inside a concrete run. Lobo was brought to the UK where my aunt took him in as a companion and guard dog. He now sleeps in his own bedroom and loves his life in Devon, making all the difference to my widowed aunt.
Flickr was unveiled on 10 February 2004 by a small Vancouver-based game development company called Ludicorp. By the end of the year, Ludicorp and Flickr were purchased by California-based Internet technology giant Yahoo!
Over subsequent years, Yahoo! was absorbed by Verizon, who attempted to merge Yahoo! (and as a result, Flickr) with the previously purchased AOL under a parent company called Oath.
After making or considering a variety of changes to the Flickr interface, membership rules, and fee structure, and ultimately considering shutting down Flickr altogether, Oath sold Flickr to the much smaller online photo hosting service SmugMug in 2018.
From the outset, Flickr has offered various tiers of membership, including "free" and a paid "pro" level. I have been a paid "pro" member of Flickr since I joined in June 2005. I feel SmugMug has done a solid job stabilizing Flickr and working to return the site to its original format as a photo hosting-and-sharing site with an easily navigable social element, and thus I have continued to support Flickr with a paid membership for nearly 20 years.
The Pinky:st figures have been along for the entire ride. A Pinky Street photo was among my first bulk upload to Flickr, and was the first newly taken photo I posted to Flickr.

Multiple 30-second images combined to form star trails streaking over the grain elevator in downtown Sheridan, Illinois. Shot with the Rokinon 8mm f3.5 HD Fisheye lens on the Canon SL1.
"Donuts"
This image is being submitted as part of the #Flickr21 Photo Challenge, celebrating Flickr's 21st anniversary on February 10, 2025. The theme for the 4th day of the 21 day photo challenge is "Donuts." I don't normally take photos of donuts. I'd much rather eat them than photograph them. I may have a cellphone image somewhere in my archives of a bacon maple donut I got from a Tim Hortons in Tawas City, MI many years ago, but the photo is not nearly as good as the donut was. Regardless, what I thought of with this theme based upon what I have shot was "Sky Donuts." That left me with either smoke rings or star trails. I have never been able to properly capture the former, so that left me with the latter. And this image is still one of my favorite star trail photos of all time, partly because I got it pretty much dead-center (totally unintentional and unplanned) and because of how difficult the lighting conditions were here. This was shot in the heart of the downtown of a small town across the street from the fire station, so bright lights were all around, as evidenced by the lens flare. But this goes to show that even in the most challenging of lighting conditions, it IS possible to bring out star trails.

BERLIN WALL MONUMENT
Topography of Terror Documentation Center
The Berlin Wall became a worldwide symbol of the division of Germany after the Second World War, and also symbolised the Cold War between East and West.
Construction of the Wall began on August 13,1961, when the government of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) hermetically sealed off East Berlin and the rest of the GDR with this 150 km long border barrier.
The 200-metre-long remaining section of the Wall on Niederkirchnerstraße - which here marked the border between the districts of Mitte (East Berlin) and Kreuzberg (West Berlin) - was preserved at the request of the "Topography of Terror" with all traces of destruction from the time of the fall of the Wall and placed under a preservation order in 1990. The Wall fragment is now part of the Topography of Terror Documentation Centre. As one of the few remaining remnants of the Wall in the city, it is also a station within the "Overall Berlin Wall Concept" developed by the Berlin Senate.

BERLINER MAUER
Dokumentationszentrum Topographie des Terrors
Die Berliner Mauer wurde weltweit zum Symbol der Teilung Deutschlands nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg und darüber hinaus Symbol des Kalten Krieges zwischen Ost und West.
Der Bau der Mauer begann am 13. August 1961. Mit dieser über 150 km langen Grenzsperranlage riegelte die Regierung der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik (DDR) Ost-Berlin und das übrige Gebiet der DDR hermetisch ab.
Das 200 m lange Reststück der Mauer an der Niederkirchnerstraße – die hier die Grenze zwischen den Bezirken Mitte (Ost-Berlin) und Kreuzberg (West-Berlin) markierte – wurde auf Wunsch der „Topographie des Terrors“ mit allen Spuren der Zerstörung aus der Zeit des Mauerfalls erhalten und 1990 unter Denkmalschutz gestellt. Das Mauerfragment ist heute Bestandteil des Dokumentationszentrums Topographie des Terrors. Als eines der wenigen noch erhaltenen Mauerreste in der Stadt ist es auch eine Station innerhalb des vom Berliner Senat entwickelten „Gesamtkonzepts Berliner Mauer“.

The "American Pickers" were just starting to garner national attention when I stopped by their original (and at the time, only) shop for a few photos on the evening of July 23, 2011 after attending Train Fest in Rock Island. The "Pickers Car" is a 1950 Nash Statesman Super.
"Memories"
This image is being submitted as part of the #Flickr21 Photo Challenge, celebrating Flickr's 21st anniversary on February 10, 2025. The theme for the 12th day of the 21 day photo challenge is "Memories." There are lots of possibilities for this theme. One could state that every photograph is a memory. After all, the overarching purpose of photography is to capture a moment in time. By extension, one could argue that Flickr's entire purpose is a repository for memories. But now is not the time to fall down the existentialism rabbit hole.
I chose this image for the "Memories" theme for what it represents. Not only does "American Pickers" function as a show preserving the past, but the show itself is has been on long enough (15 years as of this writing) that it is full of memories in and of itself. Not only that, but the show is on a channel that is all about history (well, it was; I don't know how much aliens and swamp hunters have to do with history, but I digress).
But even more than that are MY memories attached to this image. Train Festival 2011 was my first time visiting the Quad Cities area by myself. It was my first encounter with many steam locomotives that I has since seen operate many times since. It was my first time meeting railfans that I would later count as friends. It was my first time seeing the original "American Pickers" store. And this trip was the beginning of a multi-month whirlwind that would (until 2024) be the busiest of my life; two days later I would be on a plane to Los Angeles for my first ever work trip, and a week after that, I'd be in Salt Lake City. So I have lots of memories tied to this image, and it is probably my favorite image taken during this time and remains one of my favorite images ever taken to this day. I even have a large format print of this on metallic paper hanging on my wall.

TRASH PEOPLE by HA Schult, Cologne
He put them together from cans and canisters, computer scrap and other waste and sent them on a long journey. His Trash People have been traveling the world since 1996. "They are all stations that have had an impact on the history of the world," says the 66-year-old performance artist. He has set up his trash people on the Great Wall of China, at the pyramids of Giza, on Red Square in Moscow, but also at an altitude of 2,800 meters on the Matterhorn or at a depth of 880 meters in the possible Gorleben nuclear repository.
HA Schult is regarded as a provocateur of contemporary art, a wild wolf who wants to shake things up: he is the first European artist to make waste and the environment his main themes and to become known for his unsparing, almost aggressive stagings. "People only remember strong images," is how Schult has repeatedly described the intention of his work in the past. The "Trash People" also fit in with this artistic credo.
He is an environmental artist from the very beginning. "Everything has become a global world, and the Trash People symbolize this globalization with their journey," says the Cologne resident. "The development of ecological imbalance was taken up by us artists very early on," says Schult. And his "Trash People", which are called "Cologne People" in Cologne and are made from Cologne's garbage, are also a result of this development. "The flip side of prosperity ends up in the trash," is Schult's credo.
Trash People. They roam the world in twenty containers like refugees from consumer society. The Trash People are images of ourselves. We produce trash and we become trash. Today's Coca-Cola bottle is tomorrow's Roman archaeological find.
The poor collect the garbage of the rich, the poorer collect the garbage of the poor. And the poorest dig a hole in the Sahara to warm themselves by the hungry fire of the garbage. Above it all lies the black sonic cloud of barking hellhounds. In the end it will be covered in sand and a year later a golf hotel will be built there. HA Schult, 1999
The Trash People started their tour around the world in Xanten in 1996 and made stops in Paris and Moscow (1999), Beijing and at the Great Wall of China (2001). They were then exhibited in Cairo and Giza (2002), Zermatt (2003), Kilkenny Castle (2003), Gorleben (2004) and in Brussels in 2005.
From April 21 to May 01, 2006, the one thousand 1.80 m tall figures pressed from garbage can be seen on Roncalliplatz in front of Cologne Cathedral. The figures will then move on to New York's Central Park and Antarctica.

TRASH PEOPLE by HA Schult, Köln
Aus Dosen und Kanistern, Computerschrott und anderem Abfall hatte er sie zusammengesetzt und auf eine lange Reise geschickt. Seit 1996 ziehen sein Trash People um die Welt. "Es sind alles Stationen, die auf die Geschichte der Welt Einfluss genommen haben", sagt der 66-jährige Aktionskünstler. Auf der Chinesischen Mauer, an den Pyramiden von Gizeh, auf dem Roten Platz in Moskau, aber auch in 2800 Metern Höhe am Matterhorn oder in 880 Meter Tiefe im möglichen Atomendlager Gorleben baute er seine Müllmenschen auf.
HA Schult gilt als Provokateur der Gegenwartskunst, als wilder Wolf, der wachrütteln will: Er ist der erste europäische Künstler, der den Müll und die Umwelt zu seinen Hauptthemen machte und durch schonungslose, fast aggressive Inszenierungen bekannt wurde. "Nur an starke Bilder erinnern sich die Leute", so beschrieb Schult in der Vergangenheit immer wieder die Intention seines Wirkens. Zu diesem künstlerischen Credo passen auch die "Trash-People".
Er ist ein Umweltkünstler der ersten Stunde. "Alles ist eine globale Welt geworden, und diese Globalisierung symbolisieren die Trash People mit ihrer Reise", sagt der Wahlkölner. "Die Entwicklung des ökologischen Ungleichgewichts wurde von uns Künstlern sehr früh aufgenommen", sagt Schult. Und auch seine "Trash People", die in Köln "Cologne People" heißen und aus Kölner Müll gefertigt wurden, seien ein Resultat dieser Entwicklung. "Auf dem Müll landet die Kehrseite des Wohlstands", lautet Schults Credo.
Trash People. In zwanzig Containern streifen sie wie Flüchtlinge der Konsumgesellschaft durch die Welt. Die Trash People sind Bilder von uns selbst. Wir produzieren Müll und wir werden zu Müll. Die Coca-Cola-Flasche von heute ist der römische archäologische Fund von morgen.
Die Armen sammeln den Müll der Reichen, die Ärmeren sammeln den Müll der Armen. Und die Ärmsten graben ein Loch in der Sahara, um sich am hungrigen Feuer des Mülls zu wärmen. Über allem liegt die schwarze Schallwolke der bellenden Höllenhunde. Am Ende wird es von Sand bedeckt sein und ein Jahr später wird dort ein Golfhotel gebaut werden. HA Schult, 1999
Die Trash People starteten ihren Zug um die Welt 1996 in Xanten und machten Station in Paris und Moskau (1999), Peking und an der Chinesischen Mauer (2001). Danach wurden sie in Kairo und Gizeh (2002), Zermatt (2003), Kilkenny Castle (2003), Gorleben (2004) und 2005 in Brüssel ausgestellt.
Vom 21. April bis zum 01. Mai 2006 sind die eintausend 1,80 m großen, aus Müll gepressten Figuren auf dem Roncalliplatz vor dem Kölner Dom zu sehen. Danach ziehen die Figuren weiter in den New Yorker Central Park und in die Antarktis.

"....and THAT children, is why you should never leave your mother unattended in Uncle Ralph's house."
April 2014: A month in 30 Pictures: day 26
Bearded Dragon, as seen at the Phillips Park Zoo in Aurora, IL. One of my favorite Black & White images of all time. It was originally submitted as part of a class on black & white photography. I believe this image was part of our "final," in which we could take all of our lessons and use them however we wanted to create a final image.
"Inspiration"
This image is being submitted as part of the #Flickr21 Photo Challenge, celebrating Flickr's 21st anniversary on February 10, 2025. The theme for the 18th day of the 21 day photo challenge is "Inspiration." I chose this image for this particular theme because it was one of my very first images edited as a black & white image. And it was the first to win me a Best of Show award. Prior to this, I had operated as a "purist;" even though I had been shooting digital for a number of years and even bought my first DSLR camera three years prior to taking this picture, I continued to have a mentality of a film shooter. In other words, converting a color image to black & white was considered "cheating." Only images shot in black & white could be black & white, and likewise an image shot in color had remain in color.
When I learned about Monochrome mode on my Canon Rebel XTi, I would often shoot almost everything twice, once in Standard color mode, and once in Monochrome mode. Everything was shot in JPG at this time. It was all I knew and the only way I could view.
At very end of 2010, I started shooting in RAW format (well, RAW+JPG). I had learned that you could "save" photos shot at night if they were shot in RAW, and I wanted to do more long exposure shots. I had also bought my first external hard drive, which gave me the additional storage I so badly needed. This is how I operated when I took this photo and would be how I operated for the next two years.
In February 2013, I bought Adobe Lightroom (LR3), which had gone on sale below $100 for the very first time. I quickly came to realize the power of Lightroom as a digital asset management (DAM) program and that shooting RAW+JPG was redundant and unnecessary. A few weeks later, I started taking the aforementioned black & white class. That class confirmed what I had only started to realize thanks to Lightroom: that an image shot as Monochrome could be converted back to color so long as it was shot in RAW. That class also finally convinced me that my "purist" way of thinking was old-fashioned.
So, with the lessons and techniques I learned in the black & white class, I went back to find this image. I had always liked the color version, but it seemed a bit off. Through a series of Photoshop techniques, I discovered that this photo really "popped" in black & white. When I submitted this image tomy local photography club's Black & White Prints competition, it took Best of Show. I would later apply those same techniques to other images and got similar results.
So this image was not only my inspiration to finally get past my old "purist" mentality, but to really delve into the world of black & white photography.
My husband and I received the best scuba diving training we could have ever hoped for from instructor, Glennon Gingo, whom we met on the Big Island of Hawaii. He set the bar really high, and we are ever grateful for the foundation he gave us to have experiences in the ocean that we otherwise would have never been able to accomplish. Glennon is the former manager and coach of the US Free Diving Team, which he co-founded in 1998. He also worked closely with the US Navy and the US Navy Seals on training and safety courses.

The combined value of this little lot (being raced in anger)... lets put it like this:
They are not going to be insured for this and the Aston DB4 Zagato is relatively inexpensive (£4m) compared to the Ferrari 250 GTO (£15-20m!). You can have the Jaguar E Type (If you sell your house!)
Nick Mason of Pink Floyd is driving the Ferrari - so he can afford to put it back together.
