Before talking about the procession of the Holy Crucifix of Aracoeli which is held in the town of San Marco d'Alunzio (in the province of Messina), I make a brief introduction, this "photographic story" was created with photographs taken both during the procession of this year 2024, and during the procession of last year 2023, this meant, in some cases, that in some key moments of the procession the shots were taken simultaneously from two different angles, as if I had been in "bilocation", this because this year I chose a different perspective than last year. The procession begins on the morning of the last Friday of March each year, however there is an exception to this rule, when it coincides with Good Friday, which happened this year, then the procession is brought forward to the previous Friday. That of the SS. Crucifix of Aracoeli is an ancient penitential rite, on the day of the feast of the Crucifix in San Marco d'Alunzio the Holy Mass is celebrated in the Church of Aracoeli, therefore the SS. Crucifix (which is found in the church at the end of the right nave, at its feet the picture of the Virgin of Sorrows pierced by seven swords) is removed from the hook on which it is hanging, is taken outside the church, then raised and fixed on the float , and so (after the sermon of the priest who climbed onto the float next to the Crucifix) the Crucifix with the picture of his Sorrowful Mother underneath, then both placed on the float, are carried in procession by the Babbaluti, who proceed invoking the pity and mercy of the Lord with a faint lament that continually repeats “Signuri, Misericordia, Pietà!”. San Marco d'Alunzio is a pleasant town in the Messina area, located in the Nebrodi mountains, in Sicily; the procession takes place in honor of the Holy Crucifix of Araceli, this is a religious-penitential occasion also known as the "procession of the babbaluti", they are those who, by vote or by grace received, have decided to carry during the procession on their shoulders the float with the Crucifix and the painting; they head to the nearby Church of Santa Maria dei Poveri or to some private home nearby where, sheltered from the curiosity of the faithful, they wear a simple but characteristic indigo-coloured cloth habit, consisting of a tunic and a conical-shaped hood such to cover the entire body and leave only the eyes and hands free, it is not uncommon, however, that among the penitents, made anonymous by the habit they wear, there are also women, who, to avoid any possibility of recognition, wear a pair of gloves; the babbaluti are 33 in number to commemorate the 33 years of Christ, the number is odd, in fact the 33rd babbaluto does not wear the float, he (should be the "chief of float") proceeds backwards, turning his gaze to Christ and to His Mother, and at the same time checks that everything is in order among the babbaluti (this is a way of proceeding in carrying the float, which is present in various Sicilian religious processions). Then, the 32 (+1) "babbaluti" carry on their shoulders the launch bearing the Holy Crucifix of the Araceli church (the statue of Christ was created by Scipione Li Volsi, in the year 1652, he was a sculptor and plasterer of the Sicilian Baroque), at whose feet, on the float, the painting of Our Lady of Sorrows is tied, which appears pierced by seven swords (an 18th century painting). Before the start of the procession, the babbaluti advance barefoot wearing only heavy handmade raw wool socks. Before entering the church they must walk a purification path: when they arrive near the ancient church of Araceli , they bend down and kiss the ground, thus receiving permission to enter the church, but this happens from a side door, called "false door" (in Sicilian dialect “porta fausa”), once they enter the church laterally, they now emerge from the main entrance, thus being able to take their places, kneeling at the front and behind, of the float; the priest's long-awaited speech will follow, once finished, the procession can begin which takes place through the streets of the picturesque and welcoming town of San Marco d'Alunzio. Along the route the Babbaluti pace their pace accompanied by the sad and plaintive jugulation that invokes the Lord. There are devout men and women who proceed together with the mugglers, walking alongside the float, touching it, now caressing it... just to have physical (and consequently spiritual) contact with it. Finally, after having completed a specific route, the procession returns to the ancient church (of Norman origins) of Aracoeli. Whenever I am present at this touching occasion I am completely flooded with emotions (which however I cannot abandon myself to, I would lose concentration in taking the photos), the highlight is when the Crucified Christ is removed from the hook fixed on the wall by expert men, and then be carried (seems to float) above the heads of the devotees, supported with their hands, right outside the church, and be hoisted and fixed on the float; in these moments of intense emotion it is common to see in the eyes of the devotees, shining with tears, that profound emotion of their relationship with this Christ, which has always lasted: it is as if they found themselves in the presence of the true Christ, in flesh and blood, this it is the atmosphere you experience in those moments, this is the magic of the procession of the SS. Crucifix and his Mother, represented by the painting of Our Lady of Sorrows pierced by seven swords (iconography of Spanish origin).

Prima di parlare della processione del Santissimo Crocifisso di Aracoeli che si tiene nel paese di San Marco d’Alunzio (in provincia di Messina), faccio una breve premessa, questo “racconto fotografico” è stato realizzato con fotografie scattate sia durante la processione di quest’anno 2024, sia durante la processione dello scorso anno 2023, questo ha comportato, in alcuni casi, che in alcuni momenti salienti della processione gli scatti siano stati realizzati contemporaneamente da due angolazioni diverse, come se io fossi stato in “bilocazione”, questo perché quest’anno ho scelto una prospettiva differente da quella dello scorso anno. La processione inizia la mattina dell’ultimo venerdì del mese di marzo di ogni anno, c’è però una eccezione a questa regola, quando avviene la coincidenza col Venerdì Santo, cosa accaduta quest’anno, allora la processione viene anticipata al venerdì precedente. Quella del SS.Crocifisso di Aracoeli è un antico rito penitenziale, il giorno della festa del Crocifisso a San Marco d'Alunzio viene celebrata la S. Messa nella Chiesa dell'Aracoeli, quindi il SS. Crocifisso (che si trova nella chiesa in fondo alla navata di destra, ai suoi piedi il quadro della Vergine Addolorata. trafitta da sette spade) viene tolto dal gancio sul quale è appeso, viene portato all’esterno della chiesa, quindi innalzato e fissato sulla vara, e così (dopo il sermone del sacerdote salito sulla vara accanto al Crocifisso) il Crocifisso con sotto il quadro di sua Madre Addolorata, quindi messi entrambi sulla vara, vengono portati in processione dai Babbaluti, che procedono invocando la pietà e la misericordia del Signore con un flebile lamento che ripete continuamente “Signuri, Misericordia, Pietà!”. San Marco d’Alunzio è un ameno paese del territorio Messinese, sito sui monti Nebrodi, in Sicilia; la processione si svolge proprio in onore del Santissimo Crocifisso di Araceli, è questa una ricorrenza religioso-penitenziale conosciuta anche come "processione dei babbaluti", essi sono coloro che per voto o per grazia ricevuta, hanno deciso di portare in processione sulle loro spalle il fercolo con il Crocifisso ed il quadro; essi si dirigono nella vicina Chiesa di Santa Maria dei Poveri o in qualche abitazione privata lì vicino dove, al riparo dalla curiosità dei fedeli, indossano un semplice ma caratteristico saio di tela di colore indaco, costituito da una tunica e un cappuccio di forma conica tale da coprire l'intero corpo e lasciare liberi solo gli occhi e le mani, non è raro purtuttavia che tra i penitenti, resi anonimi dal saio che indossano, vi siano anche delle donne, le quali per evitare qualsiasi possibilità di riconoscimento, indossano un paio di guanti; i babbaluti sono in numero di 33 per rievocare i 33 anni di Cristo, il numero è dispari, infatti il 33° babbaluto non porta la vara, egli (dovrebbe essere il “capo vara”) procede all’indietro, rivolgendo lo sguardo al Cristo ed a sua Madre, e nel contempo controlla che tutto sia in ordine tra i babbaluti (questo è un modo di procedere nel portare la vara o fercolo, che è presente in diverse processioni religiose siciliane). Quindi, i 32 (+1) "babbaluti" portano sulle loro spalle la vara che reca il Santo Crocifisso della chiesa dell’Araceli (la statua del Cristo è stata creata da Scipione Li Volsi, nell'anno 1652, egli fu uno scultore e stuccatore del barocco SIciliano), ai cui piedi, sulla vara, viene legato il quadro della Madonna Addolorata, che appare trafitta da sette spade ( un dipinto del XVIII secolo). I babbaluti prima dell'inizio della processione avanzano a piedi scalzi indossando solo delle pesanti calze di lana grezza realizzate a mano, devono percorrere, prima di entrare in chiesa, un cammino di purificazione: quando essi giungono in prossimità dell'antica chiesa dell'Araceli, essi si chinano e baciano in terra, ricevendo in tal modo il permesso per poter accedere dentro la chiesa, questo però avviene da una porta laterale, chiamata "falsa porta" (In dialetto siciliano “porta fausa”), una volta entrati in chiesa lateralmente, ora fuoriescono dall'ingresso principale, potendo così prendere posto, inginocchiandosi sul davanti ed alle spalle, della vara; seguirà l'atteso discorso del sacerdote, terminato, potrà iniziare la processione che si svolge per le vie del pittoresco ed accogliente paese di San Marco d'Alunzio. Lungo il percorso i Babbaluti cadenzano la propria andatura accompagnandosi alla mesta e lamentosa giugulatoria che invoca il Signore . Ci sono uomini e donne devoti che procedono assieme ai babbaluti camminando a lato della vara, toccandola, ora accarezzandola...pur di avere un contatto fisico (e di rimando spirituale) con essa. Infine, dopo aver compiuto un preciso percorso, la processione fa rientro nell'antica chiesa (di origini Normanne) dell'Aracoeli. Ogniqualvolta sono presente a questa toccante ricorrenza sono completamente inondato da emozioni (alle quali però non posso abbandonarmi, perderei la concentrazione nel realizzare le foto), il momento clou è quando il Cristo Crocifisso viene tolto dal gancio fissato sul muro da uomini esperti, per poi essere portato (sembra galleggiare) sopra la testa dei devoti, sostenuto con le mani, fin fuori la chiesa, ed essere issato e fissato sulla vara; in questi momenti di intensa emozione è comune vedere negli occhi dei devoti, lucidi di lacrime, quella emozione profonda del loro rapporto con questo Cristo, che dura da sempre: è come se si trovassero al cospetto del Cristo vero, in carne ed ossa, questa è l’atmosfera che si vive in quei momenti, questa è la magia della processione del SS. Crocifisso e di Sua Madre, rappresentata dal quadro dell’Addolorata trafitta da sette spade (iconografia di origine spagnola).

New blog celebrating my philosophy of photography with tips, insights, and tutorials!
Ask me any questions! :)
Nikon D800E Fine Art! A Study of the Sunset at the San Clemente Pier! Dr. Elliot McGucken Fine Art Photography! Nikon AF-S Nikkor 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR!
I think my hallmark/trademark might be that I see more beauty in things than others, and I can never pick my favorite shot! For instance, as the sun set over the San Clemente Pier, I loved all the light!
New Instagram!
Celebrating Dr. E's LAw of Moving Dimensions ^& Dynamic Dimensions Theory dx4/dt=ic which derives from Homer's Odyssey! "Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy. Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home; but do what he might he could not save his men, for they perished through their own sheer folly in eating the cattle of the Sun-god Hyperion; so the god prevented them from ever reaching home. Tell me, too, about all these things, O daughter of Jove, from whatsoever source you may know them." --Homer's Odyssey! herosodysseyphysics.wordpress.com
Will be busy printing and framing in nice large, matted formats and frames and museum glass! Five of these photos will be printed on 40" x 60" floating wall mounted metal sheets! I think I know which--will share photos of the photos hanging on the walls!
And I am mounting some on plexiglass/acryllic--front mounting them! Some I am printing on lossy fuji-crystal archival paper too, and then front mounting 40"x60" versions to plexiglass--will send photos!
The secret to HDR photography is that you want people to say, "Woe dude--that's unreal!" And not, "Dude--that's not real!" "Unreal" is the word they use when they're trying to figure out the photo--what makes it cool--is it a photo? Is it painted? How'd it come to be--how'd you bend the light that way? "That's not real," is what they say if you have the saturation/HDR/ etc. turned up too high. :)
Some (almost) final edits for my Los Angeles Gallery Show! Printing them on metallic paper at 13" x 19" and mounting and framing them on a 4mm 18x24 white mat and 2" dark wood frame. Also printing some 40" x 70" whihc is over three feet by five feet! Wish you all could come (and hang out with the goddesses)!
Let me know your favs.!

In December 1958 Eros Films, Ltd. had another British B sci-fi movie touring American. Fiend Without A Face (FwoF) ran as the B feature to "Haunted Strangler." Both were British productions being marketed in America by MGM. This is another example of the blurry line between sci-fi and horror. FwoF itself exists in that blurry zone. Mysterious, invisible "mental vampires" killing their victims takes up the bulk of the film. The final showdown with the creatures is classic monster movie. Yet, the tie-in to the customary misguided scientist and atomic energy keep FwoF in the sci-fi orbit.
Synopsis
A Canadian farmer is killed just outside of an American Air Force base in remote Canada. The villagers were already up in arms over the mere presence of the base (jets frightened their cows) so are convinced there is a mad GI on the loose. Major Jeff Cummings befriends the slain farmer's sister, Barbara. The base tests their super radar system again, but like before, it falters just as it seems to be succeeding. Something is draining off the atomic energy. More murders stir up the towns folk to revolt. Jeff is certain that a reclusive genius, Professor Walgate, is the key. Yet more murders occur, each preceded by a rhythmic thumping and squishing sound. Eventually, Walgate confesses that he was working on Thought Materialization -- telekinesis. He needed more power, so fabricated an energy hijacking device to siphon off the air base's transmitted power. (that's why the tests always failed) The extra power worked, but created separate beings rather than intensifying Walgate's own thoughts. The invisible beings escaped his lab and began to 'feed' on townsfolk by sucking out their brains. They need the reactor's power to exist. Jeff rushes to blow up the control room. The reactor is going into overload, so the beings become visible. Dozens of the brain and spinal cord things surround the house. They break in, kill a few people, but can also be killed. Many are. Just as one of the beings has got Barbara, the reactor is shut down. It falls limp. The brain things dissolve into foam. Jeff kisses Barbara. The End.
The monster murder mystery element is fairly well played so it keeps interest up. Once visible, the brain-things have some interest too. As a monster movie, it has some merit. Killer brain-creatures are quirky enough to stay interesting.
The Cold War provides a backdrop, but isn't the focus. The Air Force base's mission is early radar detection of Soviet aircraft coming over the pole. One could see the brain-things as manifestations of deadly atomic energy. (the invisible killer)They seem to fit better the usual science-gone-wrong theme.
Dr. Walgate fills the archetypal role of the naive scientist. He meant well with all his research and work. But, like many naive scientists who had gone before him, his assumptions prove wrong. His work gets away from him and becomes a force of destruction, not one of good for mankind. It has been fairly customary for the naive scientist to die at the hands (or whatever) of his creation. Walgate makes the noble sacrifice at the end, letting the creatures attack him while Jeff gets away.
The brain-creatures are akin to the "Id Monster" in Forbidden Planet. Man's most basic thoughts, if given independence, prove primal and ruthless. As a nuclear cautionary tale, the brain-creatures, man's primal thoughts, prove deadly if given atomic power. The stop-motion animation of the brain-creatures is not too bad. It's not Harryhausen, but it works.
We're told that the brain-creatures suck out the brains and spinal cord of their human victims. So, it interesting that the brain-creatures are depicted as brain shaped. They have a segmented spinal column which they use inch-worm-style for locomotion. They ARE what they eat.
The brain-creatures break the atomic reactor's control rods so people can't shut it down (the creatures need the radiation to exist). It is curious that screenwriters solve the problem with good old dynamite. Jeff blows up the control room to shut down the reactor. ?? The reactor core was already out of control. Why would less control help?
Bottom line? Most of FwoF is a fair horror flick with "mental vampires" and agonizing victims. Things get more interesting when the brain-creatures surround the house. Sure, the movie has its flaws, but is an entertaining 50s sci-fi. 4

In 1969 and 1970, Heyerdahl built two boats from papyrus and attempted to cross the Atlantic Ocean from Morocco in Africa. Based on drawings and models from ancient Egypt, the first boat, named Ra (after the Egyptian Sun god), was constructed by boat builders from Lake Chad using papyrus reed obtained from Lake Tana in Ethiopia and launched into the Atlantic Ocean from the coast of Morocco. The Ra crew included Thor Heyerdahl (Norway), Norman Baker (USA), Carlo Mauri (Italy), Yuri Senkevich (USSR), Santiago Genoves (Mexico), Georges Sourial (Egypt), Abdullah Djibrine (Chad). After a number of weeks, Ra took on water after its crew made modifications to the vessel that caused it to sag and break apart. The ship was abandoned and the following year, another similar vessel, Ra II, was built of totora by Demetrio, Juan and Jose Limachi from Lake Titicaca in Bolivia and likewise set sail across the Atlantic from Morocco, this time with great success. The crew was mostly the same, only Djibrine had been replaced by Japanese Kei Ohara and Madani Ait Ouhanni (from Morocco). The boat reached Barbados, thus demonstrating that mariners could have dealt with trans-Atlantic voyages by sailing with the Canary Current.

The "Lock Up The Year" Royal Canal Trail Marathon was held on the banks of the Royal Canal from Moyvalley, Co. Kildare to Leixlip, Co. Kildare on Tuesday 31st December 2012 at 09:00. The race started at Furey's Pub at Moyvalley (goo.gl/maps/3pqhF) and proceeded westwards to Blackshade bridge (goo.gl/maps/4yVNI) where the race turned around and then the route was direct back to Leixlip. The running route followed the Royal Canal Way from start to finish. There was also the option of a 1/2 marathon (from Cloncurry Bridge near Enfield) and a 10KM distance from The Maws at Kilcock. This event is made possible through the cooperation of East Of Ireland Marathons and Jarlath B. Hynes and Brendan Murphy from Leixlip, Co. Kildare (see a Facebook group page here www.facebook.com/groups/524790427539290/?fref=ts). The key aspect of this run is that they are three races are informal and self supported runs along on the Royal Canal Way trail. There is no chip timing, water stops, marshals, massages, t-shirts or prizes. But it ise an enjoyable run along the Royal Canal and a chance to meet up with fellow runners during the race and then after it at the Le Cheile clubhouse in Leixlip. There are some nice numbers for the race today. 26.2 miles, 2 counties, 5 traversals in and out of Meath and Kildare, crossing 6 roads, and passing under 5 bridges before the finish outside the Leixlip amenities center.
Due to recent heavy rains the canal towpath (particularly between Cloncurry and Kilcock) was very wet and muddy and proved difficult and testing terrain for all of the runners. However despite a strong breeze at a few sections the weather was bright and dry and made for good running conditions.
This photograph is part of a larger set of photographs taken of the event(s) today. They are all available for viewing in this Flickr set. www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157639233559965
The Royal Canal is a very special piece of Irish Heritage. It's waterway channel and it's banks have seen much history with both the rise and subsequent decline in railway and canal travel and transportation. Our run on the Royal Canal is made possible by the incredible hard and dilligent work by the Inland Waterways of Ireland and countless volunteer individuals who turned their vision of a restored Royal Canal into reality.

All of the photographs posted here on this Flickr set are available offline, free, at no cost, at full image resolution also. We take these photographs as a hobby and as a contribution to the running community in Ireland. Our only "cost" is our request that if you are using these images: (1) on social media sites such as Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, Twitter,LinkedIn, Google+, etc or (2) other websites, web multimedia, commercial/promotional material that you provide a link back to our Flickr page to attribute us. This also extends the use of these images for Facebook profile pictures. In these cases please make a separate wall or blog post with a link to our Flickr page. If you do not know how this should be done for Facebook or other social media please email us and we will be happy to help suggest how to link to us.
Please email petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com with the links to the photographs you would like to obtain a full resolution copy of. We also ask race organisers, media, etc to ask for permission before use of our images for flyers, posters, etc. We reserve the right to refuse a request.
In summary please remember - all we ask is for you to link back to our Flickr set or Flickr pages. Taking the photographs and preparing them for online posting does take a significant effort. We are not posting photographs to Flickr for commercial reasons. If you really like what we do please spread the link around your social media, send us an email, leave a comment beside the photographs, send us a Flickr email, etc.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

This is the "Punch" end of the buffet table . . . the floating apples are frozen. These are used instead of ice or a frozen punch ring (hard to make as far as *I* am concerned - I quit doing it years ago and use apples of "seasonal" colors - - - green and yellow in the spring, and red or green (depending on what color the punch is) for Christmas, yellow or red for fall, etc. I used green in the white-cranberry-grape-juice punch for my daughter's wedding. (Picture of THAT punch bowl is in the first comment below . . . it wouldn't "stick" here!
My mom taught me this trick and people love it. The apples can be "trash apples" - things you don't particularly enjoy eating . . . small ones, etc., as long as they are good and clean without bruises or "bad" places since they get quite mushy when they thaw out over several hours time.
They're festive and they make WONDERFUL "ice cubes" - - - keep it very cold without diluting the punch at *all*!!!!

Pizza Hut Park is a soccer-specific stadium with a 21,193-seat capacity, built and owned by the city of Frisco, Texas. Its primary tenant is Major League Soccer (MLS) team FC Dallas, which relocated from the Cotton Bowl in central Dallas to the fast-growing suburb. The naming rights to the facility were acquired by the large pizza chain Pizza Hut whose corporate headquarters are in Addison, Texas (a northern Dallas suburb).
Nicknames for Pizza Hut Park are PHP, the Hut, and The Oven, the latter referring to Texas' summer climate during afternoon games (and also because the field is well below ground level).
This week the Sunday Club members Dave K and I visited the Bleanavon Heritage Railway.
Locomotive details-
Builder: R. Stephenson & Hawthorn Ltd., Newcastle-on-Tyne.
Built: 1945, works no.7169
Wheel Arrangement: 0-6-0ST
Wheel diameter: 4’ 3”
Boiler Pressure: 170psi.
Weight : 48 tons 5 cwt.
71515 was commissioned by the War Department in 1945 from Robert Stevenson and Hawthorns as WD71515, but, with WW2 all but over, was quickly put to work at the Swalwell Disposal Point in what was then the county of Durham, but is now Tyne & Wear. At the time the opencast disposal point was worked by Mechanical Navvies Limited, and it is in that company’s livery that the loco now appears.
It was taken into preservation by 1974 to the East Somerset Railway, where shortly after arrival she was was liveried in BR black with the spurious running number 68005.
By 1995 she was in service at the Bolton and Embsay Railway, still in BR black and where she was nicknamed ‘The Mog’. She was overhauled in 2004, but burst a boiler tube two years later and was laid aside.
Three years later, following interest shown by a PBR member, she was purchased in August 2009, and in the following month, taken to the Flour Mill works in the Forest of Dean for repair, and repainting into her original colour. She arrived at Furnace Sidings on 28 April 2010, and has worked the majority of services scheduled for steam haulage since. Her sure-footed bark as she tackles the steep grade between bridge 16 and Whistle Inn, and mournful Midland-style hooter is a familiar sound over Blaenavon.

Tuesday 23 July 2013 - Day 04 - Acclimatisation day 2, Huaraz (3,052m)
Our second day's acclimatisation in Huaraz saw us head out of town, past the smart residential district built for the people working for the mines, onto unpaved roads and out through the older villages and farmland beyond. Our minibus coped brilliantly with the ever narrowing, winding route, until we approached our drop off just past the last village, when we stalled on an uphill section and rolled back, almost into a drainage ditch. Much excitement (of varying kinds) ensued. Eventually it was agreed that the ladies should start off on the morning's walk, heading east towards the Quebrada Llaca, a gap in the Cordillera Blanca that lies within the Parque Nacional Huascarán. Having walked back to the village to get planks and successfully getting the minibus out of its hole, Val and the chaps followed in our footsteps.
A lovely morning's walk, rising to over 4000m, with beautiful landscape all around us: luring us ahead were the imposing snow tops of Ranrapalca / Ranrapallqa (6,162 m) to our right and Ocshapalca / Uqshapallqa (5,881 m) to our left, on the lower slopes sheep were grazing and accompanying us on our route east rose an imposing ridge. All around us we could find colourful examples of High Andean flora (including lupins!), and as we rejoined the road for a short stretch we walked between Queñuales / Polylepis (paperbark) trees.
Yesterday evening en route to dinner we'd bought bread rolls from a local lady outside one of the town's supermarkets which had supplied a block of cheese and some oranges, and stopping for our picnic lunch today we were rewarded with fantastic views from our gorge/ous location - looking back the way we'd come we could see Huaraz down the valley and the high mines cutting into the hill tops above, and head of us loomed the snowy, fluted ridges of Ocshapalca / Uqshapallqa with Ranrapalca / Ranrapallqa and its thick duvets of bright, white snow peaking snuggling up from the south.
After our picnic, we didn't continue on to Laguna Churup but instead retraced our steps back to the minibus. Back at base, after a kit check by Val, we packed and then headed into town for a mooch and to (at last!) withdraw some funds from the bank. In the town square, we had our first encounter with the build up of festivities in anticipation of 28 July when Peru celebrates its Independence day (Día de la Independencia) in great style, with the additional excitement of Huaraz's own 156th birthday celebrations. The town was holding its first Battle of the (Brass) Bands, with three groups facing off, literally, two at a time at either end of the stretch of the main street by the main square. Amongst the town residents we saw an occasional visiting villager in more traditional dress - including high hats and full skirts.
We rendezvoused for dinner at Crêperie Patrick, where Val treated us to a Coca Pisco Sour - no wonder sleep proved elusive that night!

Cuộc so tài Hà Lan - TBN đã diễn ra đầy hấp dẫn đến nghẹt thở tại Soccer City. Nhưng chiến thắng chỉ dành cho đội bóng xuất sắc hơn và Tây Ban Nha đã lên ngôi vô địch khi đánh bại Hà Lan 1-0 nhờ khoảnh khắc lóe sáng của Iniesta ở phút 117...

Những dòng lệ đã tuôn rơi tại Soccer City, giọt nước mắt hạnh phúc của Iker Casillas cùng đồng đội lẫn tâm trạng cay đắng, uất hận và buồn bã trên khóe mắt Sneijder. Hà Lan và Tây Ban Nha đã cống hiến một trận đấu nghẹt thở trong suốt 120 phút và tạo ra hàng loạt cơ hội ghi bàn, đưa đẩy một trận chung kết World Cup kịch tính nhất trong lịch sử.
Tuy nhiên, nhà vô địch chỉ có một và trong một thời khắc lóe sáng ở phút 117, Iniesta đã ghi bàn thắng có ý nghĩa nhất trong cuộc đời mình với pha nã đại bác hạ gục Stekelenburg, ấn định tỷ số 1-0 và giúp La Furia Roja lần đầu bước lên đỉnh cao nhất của bóng đá thế giới. Trận đấu này đã diễn ra khá căng thắng khi có tới 14 thẻ vàng, 1 thẻ đỏ (Mathijsen) cùng vô số pha vào bóng thô bạo mà trọng tài Howard Webb bỏ qua.
Thầy trò HLV Del Bosque đã mở ra một trang sử vĩ đại cho bóng đá TBN. Bị hoài nghi về sức mạnh thực sự sau trận thua Thụy Sỹ nhưng TBN đã từ từ tiến bước, họ vươn đến đỉnh vinh quang bằng "điệp khúc" 1-0 trong suốt 4 trận đấu liên tục, bỏ lại sau lưng nhiều đối thủ mạnh như BĐN, Paraguay, Đức và Hà Lan.
Thế hệ cầu thủ tài năng Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, David Villa hay Alonso đã đưa TBN lên ngôi vô địch châu Âu rồi vô địch thế giới chỉ trong 2 năm. Sự gắn kết, uyển chuyển trong cách thi triển lối chơi tiqui-taca, cộng thêm sự khoa học mang dấu ấn Del Bosque là chìa khóa thành công của các chàng trai xứ sở bò tót. Và chức vô địch World Cup 2010 là cái kết có hậu cho những gì thầy trò Del Bosque thể hiện xuyên suốt giải đấu trên đất Nam Phi.
Lần thứ 3 trong lịch sử, Hà Lan thất bại cay đắng trong một trận chung kết World Cup. Thế hệ của Robben, Sneijder không thể làm rạng danh bóng đá Hà Lan nhưng họ có quyền tự hào về ấn tượng đẹp đẽ tại giải lần này. Họ đã chiến đấu đầy nhiệt huyết đến những giây cuối cùng và nếu Robben hay Sneijder may mắn hơn trong các tình huống dứt điểm, có lẽ thế cuộc đã khác. Tuy vậy, chiến thắng thuộc về TBN là xứng đáng, họ đã thể hiện được cốt cách và bản lĩnh của nhà vô địch thực thụ.
Đúng như dự đoán, HLV Del Bosque vẫn sử dụng sơ đồ 4-1-4-1 với David Villa chơi cao nhất và nhận sự yểm trợ từ Alonso, Xavi, Iniesta, Pedro ở phía sau. Bên phía Hà Lan, Van Marwijk đặt niềm tin vào bộ tứ Sneijder-Kuyt-Robben-Van Persie trên mặt trận tấn công.
Sau tiếng còi khai cuộc, TBN đã đẩy cao đội hình lên tấn công nhờ khả năng cầm bóng tốt ở tuyến giữa. Các miếng phối hợp giữa Xavi, Iniesta cùng Pedro diễn ra với tốc độ rất cao. Ngoài ra, Sergio Ramos luôn tỏ ra nguy hiểm với các pha đi bóng tốc độ bên hành lang phải.
Cơ hội đầu tiên đã đến với TBN ở phút thứ 4 khi từ quả phạt bên cánh phải của Xavi, Ramos bay người đánh đầu tuyệt đẹp, tuy nhiên thủ thành Stekelenburg đã xuất sắc cứu thua. Thua kém về khả năng cầm bóng, Hà Lan chấp nhận phòng ngự co cụm để chờ cơ hội phản công.
Sergio Ramos chơi cực kỳ hưng phấn khi ở phút thứ 10, anh đi bóng dũng mãnh qua Van Bronckhorst rồi dứt điểm nhanh, rất may là Heitinga đã lao về cản phá trước cầu môn. Sau đó, lại là Villa tung cú vô lê đẹp mắt từ đường bấm bóng của Alonso nhưng bóng lại chạm mép lưới bên.
Hà Lan thi đấu khá căng thẳng và họ chơi tương đối rắn để hạn chế sức mạnh đối phương. Cơ hội đáng kể nhất mà “Cơn lốc màu da cam” tạo ra ở phút 17, tiếc là cú sút phạt từ cự ly 38m của Sneijder chưa đủ khó để khuất phục Iker Casillas.
TBN không còn tấn công dồn dập mà họ chủ trương đá chậm, tạo điều kiện để Hà Lan tạo dựng thế trận khá cân bằng. Trận đấu diễn ra khá căng thẳng khi De Jong tung chân đạp vào ngực Alonso, tuy nhiên trọng tài Howard Webb chỉ rút thẻ vàng cảnh cáo ở phút 28.
Đoàn quân HLV Van Marwijk chơi chậm rãi và có tính đột biến cao. Phút 36, Robben đá phạt nhanh cho Van Persie chuyền ngang vào trong, tiếc là trung vệ Mathijsen lại sút hụt bóng. TBN có câu trả lời bằng pha đi bóng rồi dứt điểm nhanh bằng chân trái, bóng đi sạt cột dọc khá nguy hiểm.
Cuối hiệp 1, Hà Lan còn tạo ra tình huống khá nguy hiểm khi Robben đảo bóng rồi sút nhanh bên góc phải nhưng Casillas đã đổ người cứu thua. Chơi thận trọng và có phần hơi nóng vội trong các tình huống tranh chấp, cả hai đội chấp nhận tỷ số hòa 0-0 trước giờ nghỉ giải lao.
Sang hiệp 2, tốc độ trận đấu được đẩy lên khá cao với hàng loạt pha tấn công nhanh và đẹp mắt. Phút 47, từ quả phạt góc của Xavi, bóng đi qua rừng hậu vệ Hà Lan đến đúng vị trí Capedevila nhưng “số 11” lại sút trượt bóng đầy đáng tiếc trong vòng cấm.
Các nhà ĐKVĐ châu Âu liên tục tấn công bên cánh phải và từ đường bật tường với Pedro, Ramos bị Van Bronckhorst phạm lỗi khá thô bạo ở phút 54. Ở tình huống đá phạt sau đó, Xavi dứt điểm khá táo bạo, bóng đi sạt xà ngang trong gang tấc. Hà Lan có câu trả lời sau đó 4 phút với cú đánh đầu cận thành của Heitinga từ đường chuyền của Robben.
Nhằm khoét sâu điểm yếu bên cánh trái của Hà Lan, Del Bosque quyết định tung Navas vào sân để tận dụng khả năng tạt bóng chuẩn xác của tiền vệ đang chơi cho Sevilla. Trong thoáng sơ hở hiếm hoi ở hàng thủ TBN ở phút 61, Sneijder chặt bóng cực đẹp cho Robben băng xuống khá trống trải, tuy nhiên “số 11” lại không thể đánh bại Casillas ở tình huống đối mặt.
Phút 69, Navas đi bóng khéo léo bên cánh phải rồi căng ngang vào trong, hậu vệ Heitinga phá hụt bóng nhưng David Villa lại không dứt điểm thành công trong tình huống đối mặt Stekelenburg. Sau đó, Capdevila sút bóng nhanh ngoài vòng cấm, tuy vậy Stekelenburg đã ôm gọn bóng.
David Villa thi đấu khá năng nổ và đến phút 73, “El Guaje” thực hiện quả đá phạt hiểm hóc, tiếc là bóng đi vọt xà. Sau đó 3 phút, lại là Villa bật tường thông minh cùng Xavi rồi dứt điểm quyết đoán nhưng Mathijsen đã lao mình cản phá.
TBN tấn công mãnh liệt và từ quả phạt góc của Xavi, Ramos bay người đánh đầu rất đẹp nhưng bóng lại đi vọt xà ngang quá đáng tiếc. Những phút cuối cùng diễn ra đầy sôi động, La Furia Roja vẫn tấn công liên tục nhưng tỷ số 0-0 vẫn được giữ nguyên sau khi kết thúc 90 phút.
Bước sang hiệp phụ, trận đấu còn diễn ra căng thẳng hơn khi ở phút 95, Iniesta chọc khe đầy nhạy cảm cho Fabregas băng xuống đầy trống trải nhưng Stekelenburg đã xuất sắc dùng chân cản phá cú dứt điểm của “số 10” trong tình huống đối mặt. Hà Lan có câu trả lời khi Mathijsen đánh đầu vọt xà trong vòng cấm khi Casillas đã lao ra lỡ trớn.
Phút 98, lại là Iniesta có cơ hội đối diện Stekelenburg nhưng tiền vệ nhỏ con này lại xử lý quá chần chừ để Heitinga lao về cản phá. Sau đó 2 phút, Navas đột phá rồi dứt điểm táo bạo, bóng đập chân hậu vệ Hà Lan ra ngoài dù Stekelenburg đã đổ người sang hướng khác.
Sang hiệp phụ thứ 2, Torres được tung vào sân để thay thế Villa để tăng cường sức mạnh hàng công. Và đến phút 110, Iniesta bật tường tinh tế với Xavi rồi băng xuống buộc Heitinga phải phạm lỗi, đồng thời nhận chiếc thẻ vàng thứ 2 rời sân. Ở pha sút phạt sau đó, Xavi lại đưa bóng vọt xà ngang.
Lợi thế hơn người giúp TBN áp đảo hoàn toàn về thế trận. Và khoảnh khắc định mệnh đã đến ở phút 117 khi từ đường bấm bóng của Torres, bóng lập bập đến chân Fabregas và “số 10” chuyền sang cho Iniesta khống chế điêu luyện rồi dứt điểm quyết đoán hạ Stekelenburg, ấn định chiến thắng 1-0 cho TBN.
Về cuối trận, TBN chơi chậm và bảo toàn tỷ số 1-0 cho đến kết thúc 120 phút. Và La Furia Roja đã chính thức đăng quang ngôi vô địch World Cup 2010 đầy thuyết phục trong một trận cầu hấp dẫn, kịch tính và tràn đầy cảm xúc.
