♫ Mauro Palmas e Maurizio Camardi - Oltre il Mare
e, perchè no...:
Cagliari, da una garitta militare ora trasformata in una piccola cappella.
Il titolo non è una forma di presunzione. Karel, il nome punico di Cagliari, significa realmente Città di Dio. È chiamata anche Città degli Angeli per la leggenda della lotta tra gli Angeli e Lucifero che si svolse sopra il Golfo (a seguito della caduta da cavallo di Lucifero, la sua Sella finì sul mare trasformandosi appunto nella "Sella del Diavolo", la nostra collina a picco sul quel Golfo la cui bellezza incantò gli Angeli che lo scelsero come dimora e che viene appunto chiamato Golfo degli Angeli). Il termine Città del Sole è universalmente noto come appellativo della Città, e la ragione è evidente per chi l'ha visitata... Qui trovate un'articolo interessante sul nome di Cagliari: www.pittau.it/Sardo/cagliari.html
Dedico la foto a Chi, come me, ha questa splendida città nel cuore. A chi l'ha visitata e non l'ha più scordata. A chi la visiterà in futuro. E a chi continuerà a sognarla da lontano...

"[...] Anche le reclute vanno a Cagliari cantando, perchè Cagliari è la Bandiera, perchè Cagliari è l'Avventura, è la Luna da toccare con mano, è l'Iniziazione ai Misteri."
Salvatore Cambosu - Miele amaro
"[...] È una città bellissima, aspra, pietrosa, con mutevoli colori tra le rocce, la pianura africana, le lagune, con una storia tutta scritta e apparente nelle pietre, come i segni del tempo su un viso: preistorica e storica, capitale dei Sardi e capitale coloniale di Aragonesi e di Piemontesi, una delle più distrutte dai bombardamenti dell'ultima guerra e, in pochi anni, una delle più completamente ricostruite."
Carlo Levi - Tutto il Miele è finito"
"[...] Anche le Città credono d'essere opera della mente o del caso, ma nè l'una nè l'altro bastano a tener su le loro mura. D'una Città non godi le sette o le settantasette meraviglie, ma la risposta che dà a una tua domanda."
Italo Calvino - Le Città Invisibili
The Missouri Symphony's Firefly Music Festival continued with a date at the State Historical Society of Missouri, where they performed a themed set entitled "Playlist at an Exhibition." It was an immersive experience conceived by conductor Wilbur Lin. Patrons witnessed the sound close-up and could walk around the orchestra while they were playing.

Why not take a walk, around Snowshill, if you have time, please click "here"!
Snowshill is a small rural settlement in the north of the borough of Gloucestershire which lies on a ridgeway, with the villages of Broadway, Buckland and Laverton nearby. The village offers panoramic views from certain vantage points within the conservation area boundary, while surrounding landscapes, including the Cotswold Ridge and Avon Valley, offer limited views into the village. Snowshill is a small, remote upland settlement situated in the Cotswold Hills in the Cotswold Area of Natural Beauty (AONB). It is one of the highest villages in Gloucestershire at 1,000 feet above sea level. The village of Snowshill is on a small unclassified road which runs from Broadway to Bourton on the Water. It is a nucleated village – one where the houses are located round a focal point such as a church or village green. Historically Snowshill developed as a farming village with the main industry being wool production. Local stone quarries provided the primary building materials for the village; stone slate roofs and stone walls The topography of Snowshill and the surrounding landscape means that the village remains sheltered from external views. However from the outskirts of Snowshill, from higher land and within Snowshill, there are glimpses of the village. Over time Snowshill has had many variations in name, including Snawesill in the 1087 Domesday Book, Snausilla in 1227, and Snoweshulle in 1360. The name Snowshill appears for the first time in the Valuation of Crown Lands of 1570. Derived from the old English, snaw for snow and hyll for hill, the name of the village refers to its topographical meaning i.e. “Hill of Snow”. It is often said that snow remains in the folds of the hill long after it has melted in the Vale. Despite being a relatively small village with a little over 200 inhabitants, Snowshill has a long history. The settlement sits near a large amount of spring water; it is also positioned close to the path taken by two prehistoric trackways. In the early ninth century King Kenulf gave the manor of Snowshill and the tithes and chaplaincy together with those for Stanton to St Mary’s Abbey, Winchcombe which had been founded in approximately 798 AD Following the Norman invasion of England, the whole land was claimed by William the Conqueror who granted lands to his followers, including the abbey at Winchcombe which still had control of Snowshill and Stanton. The Domesday entry for Snowshill states: “The church of St. Mary of Wincelcumbe holds Snawesill, in Holfordes hundred. There are seven hides taxed. In demean are three plowtillages, and twelve villeins, and two bordars, with fixed plow-tillages. There are six servi. It is worth and was worth 100 sol”. Carolyn Mason in her book Snowshill; A Gloucestershire Village says this equates to the manor having 840 acres and the population of the village being about 802 . Rudder, in his book A New History of Gloucestershire says that Winchcombe Abbey assigned the manor of Snowshill to the monastery of St Ebrulf in Normandy in the twelfth year of Edward II’s reign (1296) but that the manor returned to the abbey in 1415 when foreign onasteries were divested of their land in England. Snowshill remained in the ownership of the abbey until the Dissolution when it became the property of Henry VIII. Rudder says that Henry assigned the manor of Snowshill to Queen Catherine as part of her dower. This is confusing as three of his six wives were called Catherine. It seems likely that it was Catherine Parr as following the death of Catherine Edward VI granted it to John, Earl of Warwick. Catherine Parr was the only one alive in 1547 when Edward became king. Following the execution of the Earl of Warwick in the reign of Queen Mary the manor of Snowshill reverted to the possession of the Crown until it was given to Francis Bulstrode according to Carolyn Mason although Rudder makes no mention of this. At the time of Rudder’s history the population of Snowshill was 236 (more than today) and he states that at the beginning of the 18th century the population was about 190 and that there were 38 houses. The chapel is described as small with a tower at the west end ornamented with pinnacles and battlements. The chapel, together with the manor of Stanton was granted by the Crown to John Elliott. When the lands around Snowshill were enclosed in 1761 by Act of Parliament 202 acres were given to the rector to replace the tithes. The English Heritage register entry for the gardens of Snowshill Manor states that it was sold in 1572 to John and Thomas Warne (or Warren)
and that it remained in that family until around 1645 when it was sold to Will Wall. Between 1712 and 1743, the Manor was owned by the Sanbach family (Carolyn Mason and Rudder give the family name as Sambach) and, during that time, there were some additions to the house. William Sambach the younger died without issue in 1759 and Samuel Blackwell purchased the estate. He sold to John Small of Clapham in Surrey (d 1779). From 1759 to 1919 the Manor was owned by landlords who were largely absent. In the 17th century the manor and some of the cottages were built. The Rose cottage and The Old Shop, Manor Cottages and Green Close, all date to this time. The brewhouse and dovecote within the grounds of the manor are possible earlier from the 16th century. Part of Tower Close dates to the early 18th century and the two garden houses within the manor grounds are late 18th century. The chapel was rebuilt in 1864 but very little of it survives in the new church.
Willrow Hood is a background character in The Empire Strikes Back who is seen very briefly running through the halls of Cloud City after Lando orders the evacuation. Over the years he developed a bit of a cult following, with fans nicknaming him “Ice Cream Maker Guy” due to the late-70s frozen dessert maker he carries with him as he makes his escape.
As his popularity grew, the character was officially named and given a back story. A fan website sprung up, too, its sole purpose to petition Hasbro to create a figure of the infamous Ice Cream Maker Guy.
It worked. Willrow Hood has been in immortalized in plastic and is now hitting store shelves. Oddly, I’ve chosen to commemorate this by casting him in… Lego. :D
The park contains the tallest sand dunes in North America, rising about 750 feet (230 m) from the floor of the San Luis Valley on the western base of the Sangre de Cristo Range, covering about 19,000 acres (77 km²). They are perhaps 12,000 years old.
The dunes were formed from sand deposits of the Rio Grande and its tributaries, flowing through the San Luis Valley. Over the ages, westerly winds picked up sand particles from the river flood plain. As the wind lost power before crossing the Sangre de Cristo Range, the sand was deposited on the east edge of the valley. This process continues, and the dunes are slowly growing. The wind changes the shape of the dunes daily.
There are several streams flowing on the perimeter of the dunes. The streams erode the edge of the dune field, and sand is carried downstream. The water disappears into the ground, depositing sand on the surface. Winds pick up the deposits of sand, and blow them up onto the dune field once again.
Digging a few inches into the dunes even at their peaks reveals wet sand. If the streams were to dry up, the dunes would disappear; in fact part of the motivation of turning the Monument into a National Park was the extra protection of the water, which Colorado's cities and agriculture covet. -Wikipedia

A Five-Year Photographic Journey with the M4/3 Series.
Frustración. Esta fotografía la he subido porque he consultado a mi mujer y a ella le gusta. Pero no es lo que esperaba. Ayer disfrutamos (familia y amigos) de un fantástico día de senderismo en el Norte de la provincia de Burgos. Fuimos a pasear por el llamado "Monumento Natural de Monte Santiago", en el linde de las provincias de Vizcaya (puerto de Orduña) y Burgos (Berberana). Entre las atracciones de este enclave natural, la más sobresaliente es el Salto del Nervión, que en pocas ocasiones, tras fuertes lluvias o abundante deshielo, vierte sus aguas al vacío en una espectacular cascada de 270 metros de altura. Habíamos visitado la zona hace años, pero en aquella ocasión el cauce estaba completamente seco.
Ayer fue diferente. No llevaba mucho caudal, pero si lo suficiente para poder contemplar de un bello espectáculo.
El único problema es que era Domingo, hacía un tiempo estupendo, y ese lugar está perfectamente urbanizado y señalizado...... mis "amigos" los turistas y domingueros tenían el lugar invadido.
Tenía intención de sacar unas fotos de este salto (sabéis de mi pasión por las cascadas) pero habrá que volver en mejores condiciones (¿tal vez de noche, nevando y con tormenta eléctrica?). Era tal la cantidad de gente que rodeaba el lugar que intentar colocar el trípode y tomarme mi tiempo para componer la escena, configurar la cámara, colocar los filtros y demás fueron tarea imposible. Una auténtica romería de: papás con cochecitos de bebé, excursiones de jubilados, parejas de pijos con ropa técnica de marca para pasar noche en el campamento avanzado de la ascensión al Anapurna, otros con zapatos de vestir y pantalones de tergal con raya al medio, gente disfrazada con pelucas de colores fluorescentes, cámaras compactas iluminando la cascada cincuenta metros más abajo con sus potentes flashes, graciosillos saltando sobre la plataforma metálica que forma el balcón (el mejor sitio para fotografiar la cascada desde esa posición). Vamos, como la Gran Vía de Madrid en época navideña.
Afortunadamente el resto del día fue completamente diferente. Después de comer nos alejamos de ese bosque de hayas convertido en parque temático en que se ha convertido el Monte Santiago, y llegamos al cercano Valle de Mena y su preciosa cascada de Peñaladros, en Cozuela, donde el río San Miguel cae en un salto de unos quince metros a una gran poza de aguas verdosas.
Esta cascada ya la conocía, pero no me canso de contemplarla. Me parece de las más vistosas de la zona, aunque no sea la más alta, ni la más ancha.
El único problema es que no conseguí una composición que me dejase satisfecho. El problema de estos ríos de montaña es que su acceso suele ser complicado, y la vegetación lo envuelve todo, haciendo muy difícil conseguir fotografiar la cascada desde una posición que permita componer la escena con todos los elementos bien dispuestos y sin estorbos que arruinen el conjunto.
Para esta toma me planté en mitad del río, con los pies en el agua (si visitas mi blog me verás....), y aún así no me gusta el resultado. La luz tampoco ayudó mucho, pero algo he aprendido: tengo que comprar otras botas de montaña que sean totalmente impermeables......

ALL MY PHOTOS ARE NOW ON SALE!
I've been hanging out with folks in the Polaroid scene, past six months or so. Some of 'em have YouTube pages, or podcasts, followings. They've been at it for five years, or seven years, some folks are new to it, some folks are older, some are younger.
I'll be talking to them, worker among workers, that's how I like to describe it, how I try to think about myself when I'm hanging out with other artists.
Then I'll pull this image out of the archives to talk about here and realize it was fifteen fucking years ago...and at that point I'd already been taking photos seriously for five years? That I've been at this a long goddamn time! And I'm not tired of it!
Lot's changed, so much. At the time of this photo, I was living in a tiny apartment (albeit in a great neighborhood, with some fun neighbors), I was driving an old old car that had over 300,000 miles on it, I probably had a month's worth of rent in the bank, if that.
But I'd met so many people online, I had friends coming out my ears.
I didn't have all I wanted, but I had what I needed. I was very lucky. Maybe that's one of the biggest lessons of my twenty year journey: Make as many friends as possible. Meet people as much as you're able. Put yourself out there, no matter how shy you feel you are.
Everyone involved in this photo was someone I met because I was crazy online. Messaging people, texting people, IMing people, talking to people, commenting on other people's photos, talking to people, that was really my main hobby. Photography was a side benefit to all the people I've gotten to hang out with.
This photo, much as I like it (why did I wait 15 years to post it????), this is nothing compared to the great time we had, that day. The good times are waiting for us all...

It had been a while since I experienced snow in the winter. A recent trip to the Sierras brought back memories of snowy winters spent on the East Coast, helped me recharge my batteries and provided me a much needed chance to dust the cobwebs off of my cameras. The snow covered landscapes were such a joy! In this scene, shot with my DJI Mini 3 pro, I was drawn by the contrast of the white snow on the ground against the warm light of the setting sun shining on the tree tops on the side of the mountains

It will be k-k-cold this weekend. The temperature can drop to -8 degrees and that means of course only one thing: skating! After a few nights of good frost we could skate on March 3, 2018 at the Loosdrechtse Plassen. Every effort was made to ensure that we could skate. Plassenschap Loosdrecht has issued a sailing ban for the Loosdrechtse Plassen. After an extra night of frost, the ice is perfect. Beautiful black smooth ice without weak spots. Finally perfect ice to tie up the irons for skating enthusiasts. There can be wonderful kilometers of skating between the peat area and vast frozen lakes. You experience nature in places where you normally can not come. The northwestern part of the Loenderveense Plas is also referred to as Terra Nova. In this part of the Loenderveense Plas, experiments have been carried out in recent years to improve water quality by removing the bream fish. This fish accumulates the sludge layer that is formed at the bottom of the ponds by over-fertilization. Only a few plants and animals can live in this muddy water. Although already impressive results can be seen from the bream removal - the whole lake has turned from muddy to clear water, which also means that the water is freezing faster than other puddles. The peatland is a paradise for skaters from the west of the Netherlands, because it is usually the first large-scale area where you can skate on natural ice.
Today 3th of March 2018 we got the opportunity to go ice skating on real ice instead of going to an ice rink. A good freeze only comes from a win in the climatic lottery. Thus the chance for our Dutch to be wild adventurers on their own land comes only every few years. We glide across solidified, frosted lakes with fish frozen into the ice. The Loosdrechtseplassen in the winter are a real skater’s paradise. Snapchat shot of me taken by my daughter Samantha. I'm enjoying the wide and smooth ice surface.
Het wordt k-k-koud dit weekend. De temperatuur kan dalen tot wel -8 graden en dat betekent natuurlijk maar één ding: schaatsennn! Na een paar nachten goede vorst konden we op 3 maart 2018 schaatsen op de Loosdrechtseplassen. Er werd alles aan gedaan om te zorgen dat we konden schaatsen. Plassenschap Loosdrecht heeft een vaarverbod afgegeven voor de Loosdrechtse Plassen. Na een extra nacht van vorst ligt het ijs er perfect bij. Prachtig zwart glad ijs en nergens wakken. Eindelijk weer heerlijk ijs om voor schaatsliefhebbers de ijzers onder te binden. Er kan heerlijk kilometers geschaats worden tussen het veengebied. Je beleeft de natuur op plekken waar je normaal niet kan komen.
De Loosdrechtseplassen zijn afgegraven veengebieden, gelegen in het Gooi. Het noordwestelijke deel van de Loenderveense Plas wordt ook wel aangeduid als Terra Nova. Terra Nova is een aan de Vecht gelegen landgoed en natuurgebied met veenplassen. In dit deel van de Loenderveense Plas is de afgelopen jaren geëxperimenteerd met het verbeteren van de waterkwaliteit door het wegvangen van brasem. Deze vis woelt de sliblaag op die op de bodem van de plassen is ontstaan door overbemesting. In dit troebele water kunnen slechts weinig planten en dieren leven waardoor de soortenrijkdom van de plassen sterk is teruggelopen. Hoewel nu al aansprekende resultaten te zien zijn van het wegvangen van de brasem – het hele meer is omgeklapt van troebel naar helder water wat ook weer betekend dat het water eerder bevriesd dan andere plassen. Het veengebied is een paradijs voor schaatsers uit het westen van Nederland, omdat het meestal het eerste grootschalige gebied is waar men goed kan schaatsen op natuurijs. We genieten van de ruimte en mooie schaatsijs van de Loosdrechtseplassen. Snapchat foto van mij genomen door mijn dochter Samantha.

Shadow Hunter
There are methodical photographers who dedicate hours to every photo controlling every little detail of light and composition. On the opposite side there are those who armed with their cameras are hungry for images like a hunter looking for his prey. They don’t know where nor when they’ll find this image. They’re not familiar with the place, the light or “the model”. But at any given time they’ll stumble upon it and shoot without thinking twice, feeling the rush of the hunter becoming the hunted.
Billy Gómez belongs to this lineage of camouflaged, instinctive, risk-taking, quick draw and crack shot photographers. He has become a creative and active witness of the streets of Seoul. Its inhabitants are the driving force behind his work with their hectic routines, their depression and loneliness etched on their faces. The metro, train and the streets are his usual scenes. As in this image, the people he photographs are alone, lost in thought and with an expression of defeat almost as if they were prisoners to a life they hadn’t dreamt of. They look through the windows with their imagination trying to escape but all they find are others like them who are just as lonely and lost.
Billy is aware of the fact that with his camera he is going to steal sad and intimate moments in public places with no previous permission and this has its risks. However this also turns the moment of capture into something exciting, disturbing and unpredictable. With his sensitive and lyrical voyeurism he turns everything he sees into art.
He develops his photographs in a way to increase the loneliness of the lives of the human beings he portrays. By adding a vignette to every one of his subjects and darkening the borders it seems like they are surrounded by shadows. With his camera he immortalizes these sad inhabitants and it can be said that his voyeurism of anonymous men and women is taxidermal.
Billy Gómez (Los Angeles, 1971)
Born in America he moved to Seoul in 2005 to teach English. His job leaves him with a lot of free time and soon he decides to make the most of it by taking photographs. After a few years of fooling around, experimenting and searching he starts to define his style - a combination of voyeurism and spontaneous portrait. The result is a lucid and sad x-ray of a city, Seoul and its inhabitants.
With a telephoto lens, a 50mm and lately an iPhone that allows him to go unnoticed, he hits the streets in search of the right light and perfect moment. Not being able to control light as one would in a studio makes post-production more laborious. The search for the right light is now one of this visual poet’s priorities in the streets of Seoul. A hunter of light and above all shadows.

The Library of Congress Steel workers in Denver
I claim no rights other than colorizing this image if you wish to use let me know
Title
Denver, Colorado. Twenty-four hours a day the sparks from acetylene torches of steel workers in eight Denver fabricating plants are flying thick and fast that the U.S. Navy may carry the battle to the enemy in all parts of the world. Here in secluded Denver, the world's largest city not on a navigable waterway, this war production worker, who has never seen a battleship or an ocean, fashions the steel hull parts which are being assembled at Mare Island Navy Yard--1,200 miles from where he and his fellow wokers are on the job to help "keep 'em sailling."

This corner building is The Fellowship Of Lights, a homeless shelter for male children on Calvert Street in downtown Baltimore City. As a child I stayed here on a number of occasions to escape the cold of winter.
For those not familiar with the story, which I've spoken about in previous postings, I left home at the age of 13. I tried to leave home a couple times starting in about 1971 at the age of 12, but they hunted, captured and brought me back both of those times. After the last time, they determined I clearly didn't want to be there and let me go.
No, I wasn't abused and my parents weren't alcoholics or drug addicts and nobody should ever feel sorry for me because of how I chose/choose to live my life. If I had it to do all over again, I'd do it the same exact way, but certainly wouldn't recommend the same path to others.
I traveled to Baltimore, the city of my birth, this past holiday season to revisit my past as I move into the third and last phase of my life (This assumes an average lifespan of ~75 years for a white American male. I fit into all three of those categories and will turn 50 this year.) I hadn't been back in many, many years. The memories I had prior to that visit were mostly all negative.
One of the objectives of this trip was to do a little photojournalistic exercise of where I "grew-up", the places I lived, the elementary and middle schools I attended and other memorable elements of my odd young life, be they good or bad.
My original intention was to post the photos and stories in chronological order, but decided instead to just be me and do it in the order of pure and unplanned randomness.
No memories remain of the inside of this building, but I do remember the area around here was a popular hangout for transvestites (There may have been transexuals, too, but I wasn't aware of that word back then.)
I remember having a fear of those types of people when I was young and was taught how to spot 'em by looking at their laryngeal prominence, or Adam's Apple -- My experience allowed me to deduce that Cleavage + Adam's Apple almost always = Transvestite.
By the way, here in my adult life I have no fear of, or prejudice towards, transvestites and only possess what I believe is a normal sense of "What's the deal?" wonderment about Transvestism behavior.
Many of the transvestites who were attracted to me would commonly yell and motion for me to come talk to them. I was a little towheaded kid at the time. I didn't sprout up and out until later in life. I assumed most, if not all of them, were gay. I never let any of them to get close enough to touch me.
I remember very well my last day at The Fellowship Of Lights. A larger than usual crowd of transvestites were gathering directly across the street. Some other kid who was staying at the halfway house told me they were waiting for me to come outside.
I don't know if there was any truth in what he said, but I became terrified.
I remember asking an adult supervisory person at the halfway house if I could use the telephone. She or I looked up the number of the White Coffee Pot restaurant located in the Gardenville area of Baltimore, which was in the far Northeast corner of the city and near where my parents lived.
I called the White Coffee Pot because I was familiar with the restaurant and the people who hung out at the counter there. My Dad was a regular and used to bring me there all the time before I left home. In fact, I eventually wound-up working there as a dishwasher when I was in my 15th or 16th year. After my Mom and Dad divorced, when I was about 19, he went on to marry the manager of this restaurant. He remained married to her up until his death three or four years ago.
A restaurant regular and good friend of my Dad was a cab driver whose name I no longer recall. When I called the restaurant I asked for him. Luckily, he was there.
I don't remember the exact conversation, but recall asking him to come down into the city to pick me up here at the Fellowship Of Lights because I was in trouble, and scared.
I remember I directed him to pull up in front of the building and to have the back door of the cab unlocked so I could run out, jump in, and have him drive off before the green light turned red.
What he did instead was pull up in front and open the front passenger side door. I then waited and watched for him from a window.
When he arrived I checked the color of the traffic light to make sure it was green, ran out of the building and dove into the front seat of his cab. I slammed the door shut as he began the rapid process of departure.
Until the date this photo was taken, about two or three weeks ago, that was the last time I ever saw this building and this area of Baltimore City.
I tried to gain entry to the building when I took this photo. Although the name plaque is still on the outside of the building, the telephone number has been disconnected and nobody answered when I rang the doorbell multiple times.
I would've loved to have resurrected some memories of the inside of this place.
Whatever it looked like inside, it kept me warm and I'm thankful it existed when I needed it most.
