Three new pillows in my living room apartment. First two, a contemporary take on Mayan designs. The third one a traditional design from the Nebaj region, on the Quiche highlands of Guatemala, with hand embroidered zoomorphic figures. All done by indigenous women from Guatemala.

S. Andrea, l’apostolo che la leggenda narra essere stato un pescatore, è il protettore della città di Amalfi .
Al Santo vengono attribuiti anche miracoli di protezione: secondo una leggenda cittadina infatti, il 27 giugno 1544 salvo' Amalfi dall'attacco navale del pirata Barbarossa scatenando una tempesta nel porto ed impedendo al corsaro sbarcare in città .
Le sue reliquie, trasferite nel 1208 ad Amalfi dal cardinale Pietro Capuano dopo la conquista di Costantinopoli da parte dei Crociati, vengono conservate tra le meravigliose lastre istoriate sotto l'altare della cripta del Duomo, dove avviene, anche il miracolo della manna : dalla tomba in cui è conservato il corpo del santo, viene fuori una sostanza oleosa, fu un vecchissimo pellegrino, reduce dalla Terrasanta, ad accorgersi del fatto soprannaturale il 29 novembre 1304; da allora le reliquie furono sistemate in modo che la manna potesse essere raccolta, mediante un canaletto, in occasione delle sue frequenti emanazioni. Ora la manna viene raccolta sei volte all'anno, e distribuita in boccettine ai fedeli per il suo potere taumaturgico.
Il 27 giugno e il 30 novembre di ogni anno viene celebrata la festa di S. Andrea: il busto dell'Apostolo, una scultura d'argento del barocco napoletano, sfila in processione attraverso la città e lungo la spiaggia (la benedizione della pesca) accompagnato da numerose barche. In seguito "o Viecchio" (il popolare affettuoso appellativo del Santo) viene portato a passo di corsa sulla ripida scalinata del Duomo, rinnovando così l'antico rito della "sfida alla divinità ", il cui fascino sopravvive ancora in forme moderne. Durante tutto il mese di novembre il Santo viene invocato, alla sera presso la tomba, con la coronella, una preghiera a piu' voci.
Festival of St. Andrew - Amalfi
The Cathedral of Amalfi houses the Crypt of St. Andrew, which contains some parts of the body of St. Andrew, a disciple of Jesus. It was brought here from Constantinople at the end of the fourth crusade. Amalfi's patron saint is celebrated on two separate occasions:
On 27th June every year, is the commemoration of the miracle that saved Amalfi from the pirate Barbarossa in 1544. St. Andrew's statue is carried to the sea, where a festival of music and fireworks awaits the procession.
On 30th November every year, is St. Andrew's day, the birthday celebration of St. Andrew. St. Andrew's statue is taken from the Cathedral through the streets of Amalfi, is carried to the sea, and in a procession through the streets and squares of Amalfi, with the reconfirmation of the miracle of "manna", the oily liquid which is found close to St Andrew's relics situated in the crypt of the cathedral .
For my A level photography project I've been looking at the work of Mona Kuhn and trying to emulate her style. These pictures were taken with a 35mm f/1.8 lens, which quite frankly make my life better :)
these hands hardly ever rest. My son's favourite hobby is to create the most phantastic vehicles with his Lego bricks.

Shots of my trip to Canada October 2018.
On my first day and only day in Vancouver. It was raining off and on all day but wasn't very cold. I spent most of the day on the Hop On and Hop Off Bus.

Oops. I totally missed a picture - this one actually taken on the 3rd... It's a bit of a cheat, but it will have to do... cause I'm not dropping out. Oh no. I'll be catching up on uploads as soon as possible; life happened, and though I'm still taking my pictures, I just had no time to spend on the computer. I also have quite a creative blockage where I'm just not satisfied with what I got... and I'll work it out.
More to come.

Taken for Active Assignment Weekly: Minimal House
WIT: I was getting worried because it was Sunday and I couldn't find anything to inspire me, especially with so many great shots this week. So I got out the camera and figured I should just get something, I turned out to be pleasantly surprised with several shots. This is the handle to my sliding door of my closet. For editing I cropped, upped the exposure and contrast a but and flipped it to get the circle in the bottom right corner. In regards to the title, I was listening to a song titled "Hand Covers Bruise" from The Social Network while editing and thought it sounded really cool... and the rest you can probably figure out ;-)
WALK IN FRONT OF ME, I WILL FOLLOW ;
WALK BEHIND ME, I WILL PROTECT;
WALK BESIDE ME, AND TIGHTLY HOLD "YOUR HAND.

Called a Buddha's Hand Citron, this odd looking fruit is actually one of the oldest members of the citrus family. Although it smells strongly of lemon, it has no juicy pulp hidden beneath its rind. Instead, the Buddha’s Hand is grown commercially for its powerful zest. The aromatic rind is used to flavor lemon liqueurs and specialty vodkas, and provides aroma to lemon-scented cosmetics. Chinese and Japanese households hang it in their homes as a natural air freshener, and it even has a place in some religious ceremonies.
