For my BF Angela. I've got to get this done this week because I'm going to Cali to visit her and her new baby!! The colors look weird here, it's better in person.
See the sketches and some exterior shots. More interior photos to come.
We visited the day after this accident.
In July 2012 I had a chance to do something I've wanted to do for years - kayak in Glacier Bay in SE Alaska. I was able to pull it off on a guided trip - we had excellent guides and the other castaways were fine characters - great bunch to kayak with. The trip started with great weather the first day - we did a lot of kayaking and some hiking - what a beautiful place. Second day was a long paddle but worth it - we camped near an active calving glacier that kept exploding all night - next morning we kayaked a safe distance from the front of it and just sat mesmorized - it was great; long paddle after that with a promise of more adventure - and then the rain rolled in - solid, steady, for about 40 straight hours - it was miserable - being cold and wet for so long was not fun but everyone stayed in good spirits even though we were tent bound most of the time. Oh well - guess I'll have to go back again!
LIN DELIJA - PLAGET E SHPIRTIT DHE UNIVERSET E PRITJEVE
Me rastin e Festës Kombëtare të Republikës së Shqipërisë - Ekspozita kushtuar Lin Delija në selinë e Akademisë së Arteve të Bukura në Romë - Plagët e shpirtit dhe universet e pritjeve - 16-26 nëntor 2021
Inaugurimi i ekspozitës Lin Delija u mbajt më 15 nëntor 2021 në Akademinë e Arteve të Bukura në Romë. Plagët e shpirtit dhe universet e pritjeve, në prani të Ministrisë së Kulturës, Dario Franceschini, Ambasadores së Shqipërisë, Anila Bitri Lani, Presidentes dhe Drejtoreshës së Akademisë së Arteve të Bukura, Giovanna Alberta Campitelli dhe Cecilia Casorati.
Ekspozita është promovuar nga Shoqata "Lin Delija" e Antrodoco (Ri), nga Biblioteka Shtetërore
Isontina di Gorizia, me bashkëpunimin e Akademisë së Dijes së Romës dhe do të zhvillohet nën
Patronazhi i Ministrisë së Kulturës, Ambasadës së Shqipërisë në Itali dhe Bashkisë së
Antrodoco. Ekspozita është e hapur për publikun me hyrje falas nga data 16 deri më 26 nëntor 2021, në sallën Colleoni të Akademisë së Arteve të Bukura.
Ekspozita, e kuruar nga Angela Scilimati, do të ofrojë një përzgjedhje të veprave të artit të Lin Delija,
Piktori shqiptar, italian me birësim, i lindur në Shkodër në vitin 1926, jetoi për një kohë të gjatë në Antrodoco (Ri) dhe
vdiq në Romë në vitin 1994.
Zgjedhja e vendit të ngjarjes lidhet me dëshirën për të kujtuar periudhën që artisti kaloi në Romë, ku
ai studioi në Akademinë e Arteve të Bukura që nga viti 1955, një nxënës i Mario Mafait, Amerigo Bartoli,
Mario Rivosecchi dhe Pericle Fazzini, pas arratisjes nga sistemi totalitar që mbretëroi në Shqipëri e
pas viteve të qëndrimit dhe studimit në Zagreb.
Ekspozita është rezultat i sinergjisë mes vendeve fqinje, bujarisë së koleksionistëve të shumtë
privatë që janë vënë në dispozicion për të huazuar veprat e Mjeshtrit dhe bashkëpunimin e frytshëm
ndërmjet institucioneve publike dhe private. Do të jetë e mundur të shihet, në fakt, edhe Portreti i një gruaje,
dhënë me dashamirësi për ekspozim nga Presidenca e Republikës së Shqipërisë, dhe, nëpërmjet
projeksionet, veprat e ruajtura në Muzeun Qytetar “Lin Delija-Carlo Cesi” në Antrodoco, të çmuara
arkivol që strehon kryevepra të shumta të artistit.
Me vështirësi do të paraqitet edhe dokumentacioni nga Arkivi i Akademisë së Arteve të Bukura
në dispozicion për konsultim.
Falë Shoqatës Kulturore “Lin Delija”, e cila ka mbajtur gjallë kujtimin e artistit, ai ka
bashkëpunoi me donacione të shumta për ngritjen e Muzeut kushtuar atij në Antrodoco e
për organizimin e ekspozitave të ndryshme, ky moment historik arrihet në Romë.
Kjo është faza e parë e një projekti që parashikon rritjen e punës së artistit me a
seri ngjarjesh ekspozitash që do të kenë Firencen si vend të radhës dhe në vijim vendin e origjinës
e artistit, Shqipëria, me një ekspozitë në Shkodër dhe një përfundim të rrugëtimit në Tiranë.
Ky rrugëtim fillon pikërisht në vitin që shënon tridhjetëvjetorin e zbarkimeve të para nga Shqipëria në
Italia dhe, duke rigjurmuar fazat kryesore të jetës së një artisti të mërguar, Lin Delija do të tregojë se si
“Pararendës” i fenomenit të migrimit shqiptar të shkaktuar nga arsye politike dhe sociale.
Përmbyllja e udhëtimit drejt Shqipërisë do të bëhet në një moment po aq domethënës, pikërisht në
25 vjetori i vdekjes së Nënë Terezës së Kalkutës, të cilën Lin Delija e njihte e
e admironte me shumë përkushtim dhe për të cilën bëri portrete të shumta.
Itinerari do të emërtohet “Lin Delija. Udhëtimi për në shtëpi”.

LIN DELIJA - LIN DELIJA - LE FERITE DELL’ANIMA E GLI UNIVERSI DELLE ATTESE
In occasione della Festa Nazionale della Repubblica d'Albania - Mostra Dedicata a Lin Delija nella Sede dell'Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma - Le Ferite dell'anima e gli universi delle attese - 16-26 novembre 2021
All’Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma si tenuta il giorno 15 novembre 2021 l’inaugurazione della mostra Lin Delija. Le ferite dell’anima e gli universi delle attese, in presenza del Ministero della Cultura, Dario Franceschini, dell’Ambasciatore di Albania, Anila Bitri Lani, della Presidente e Direttrice dell’Accademia di Belle Arti, Giovanna Alberta Campitelli e Cecilia Casorati.
La mostra è promossa dall’Associazione “Lin Delija" di Antrodoco (Ri), dalla Biblioteca Statale
Isontina di Gorizia, con la collaborazione dell’Accademia del Sapere di Roma e si svolgerà sotto il
Patrocinio del Ministero della Cultura, dell’Ambasciata di Albania in Italia e del Comune di
Antrodoco. L’esposizione e aperta al pubblico ad ingresso libero dal 16 al 26 novembre 2021, presso la Sala Colleoni dell’Accademia di Belle Arti.
La mostra, curata da Angela Scilimati, proporrà una selezione delle opere d’arte di Lin Delija,
pittore albanese, italiano di adozione, nato a Scutari nel 1926, vissuto a lungo ad Antrodoco (Ri) e
morto a Roma nel 1994.
La scelta della sede è legata alla volontà di ricordare il periodo che l’artista trascorse a Roma, dove
studiò proprio presso l’Accademia di Belle Arti dal 1955, allievo di Mario Mafai, Amerigo Bartoli,
Mario Rivosecchi e Pericle Fazzini, dopo la fuga dal sistema totalitario che regnava in Albania e
dopo gli anni di permanenza e studio a Zagabria.
La mostra è il risultato della sinergia tra Paesi vicini, della generosità di numerosi collezionisti
privati che si sono resi disponibili al prestito delle opere del Maestro e della proficua collaborazione
tra istituzioni pubbliche e private. Sarà possibile vedere, infatti, anche il Ritratto di donna,
gentilmente concesso per l’esposizione dalla Presidenza della Repubblica di Albania, e, attraverso
proiezioni, le opere custodite nel Museo Civico “Lin Delija-Carlo Cesi” di Antrodoco, prezioso
scrigno che conserva numerosi capolavori dell’artista.
Verrà presentata inoltre documentazione dall’Archivio dell’Accademia di Belle Arti difficilmente
consultabile.
Grazie all’Associazione Culturale “Lin Delija”, che ha mantenuto vivo il ricordo dell’artista, ha
collaborato con numerose donazioni all’istituzione del Museo a lui dedicato ad Antrodoco e
all’organizzazione di diverse mostre, si giunge a questa tappa fondamentale a Roma.
Si tratta della prima fase di un progetto che prevede la valorizzazione dell’opera dell’artista con una
serie di eventi espositivi che avranno come successiva sede Firenze e, a seguire, la terra di origine
dell’artista, l’Albania, con una mostra a Scutari e una conclusione del percorso a Tirana.
Questo viaggio inizia proprio nell’anno in cui ricorre il trentennale dei primi sbarchi dall’Albania in
Italia e, ripercorrendo le tappe principali della vita di un artista esule, indicherà Lin Delija come
“precursore” del fenomeno migratorio albanese causato da ragioni politiche e sociali.
La conclusione del viaggio in Albania avverrà in un momento altrettanto significativo, ovvero la
ricorrenza del venticinquennale dalla morte di Madre Teresa di Calcutta, che Lin Delija conobbe e
ammirò con grande devozione e della quale realizzò numerosi ritratti.
Il percorso avrà il nome “Lin Delija. In viaggio verso casa”.

This young Eastern Cottontail has been a regular visitor to the back yard in the evenings. It also likes to hide in Mom's garden under the tomato cage. Luckily it doesn't appear to do any damage to the tomatoes, but plenty of other creatures seem to like to take bites out of the ripening fruit.

Last summer Sophal & ND Strupler visited Cambodia with their 2 kids. The trip to Cambodia has awakened a deep passion to help the 20,000 street children in Phnom Penh living on the streets. This life style perpetuates the poverty cycle by depriving these children an opportunity for growth. They wanted to do something NOW! So they started selling their Art (Painting & Photography) to raise money and help Cambodian kids get off the streets.
Strupler ART
TOGETHER WE CAN HELP CAMBODIAN KIDS GET OFF THE STREETS!
With the partnership of the Big Brother, Big Sister – “Bong Paoun Project,“ local volunteers will help street kids break the cycle of poverty allowing them to get an education so their children will not have to work on the streets of Cambodia.
Background
Sophal's story began when she was abandoned on the streets of Phnom Penh at about 3 months of age. A Swiss Red Cross nurse found her and nursed her back to health. This nurse was a friend of Sophal's current adoptive parents.
Sophal & ND have been married since 1994 and have a 10-year-old daughter and 9-year-old son.
Art Show in Fountain Valley
With the Art-Show in Fountain Valley they want to share their experiences in Cambodia. Their trip was peppered with an array of emotions, Full of joy, beauty, sadness and suffering. They are now completely committed to making a difference in the lives of Cambodian children through their passion of painting and photography.
All Paintings and Photography will be auctioned.
Bidding starts at $30, $50, and $80.
FairPlay
100% of the net proceeds from this event will support the work in Cambodia.

I have had the good fortune to work in Dun Laoghaire for about fifteen years.
Dún Laoghaire is a suburban seaside town in County Dublin, about 12 km (7.5 miles) south of Dublin city centre. Formerly a major port of entry from Britain, from 1821 to 1920 it was named Kingstown.
The town's name means "fort of Laoghaire". This refers to Lóegaire mac Néill (modern spelling: Laoghaire Mac Néill), a 5th-century High King of Ireland, who chose the site as a sea base from which to carry out raids on Britain and Gaul. Traces of fortifications from that time have been found on the coast, and some of the stone is kept in the Maritime Museum.
The name is sometimes unofficially spelt as Dún Laoire or Dún Laoighre. In some cases, the old anglicised spelling Dunleary is seen … this is also how the town's name is commonly pronounced.
The harbour, one of the largest in the country, is notable for its two granite piers. The East Pier is particularly popular with walkers, and was featured in the 1996 movie Michael Collins, where Liam Neeson (as Collins) and two of his co-stars are seen walking along a seaside promenade, which is actually the Dún Laoghaire East Pier. A band is seen playing on a bandstand in this movie scene, and this is the actual bandstand on the East Pier. The bandstand was restored to its original condition in 2010 by the Dún Laoghaire Harbour Company.
It took 42 years to construct the harbour, from 1817 to 1859. The obelisk near the old ferryport terminal at the harbour commemorates the construction of this harbour.
A lighthouse was at the end of the East Pier, while the new headquarters of the Commissioners of Irish Lights (the General Lighthouse Authority for Ireland) is on Harbour Road.
South of the harbour is Scotsman's Bay, where there was a Victorian seaside amusement area, with walks, shelters and baths. The walks and shelters are largely intact. The Dún Laoghaire Baths have been derelict for many years, but were repainted in bright colours in 2012. Plans for restoration of this area are much debated, and some of the more ambitious ideas have been highly controversial.
A traditional Victorian-style park, the People's Park, is at the eastern end of George's Street, and including still-functioning tea rooms.
At least one traditional "cabman's shelter" survives [I photographed two] – these were small buildings built for the drivers of horse-drawn taxis.
Voronezh is a city and the administrative centre of Voronezh Oblast in southwestern Russia straddling the Voronezh River, located 12 kilometers (7.5 mi) from where it flows into the Don River. The city sits on the Southeastern Railway, which connects western Russia with the Urals and Siberia, the Caucasus and Ukraine, and the M4 highway (Moscow–Voronezh–Rostov-on-Don–Novorossiysk). In recent years the city has experienced rapid population growth, rising in 2021 to 1,057,681, up from 889,680 recorded in the 2010 Census, making it the 14th-most populous city in the country.
The first chronicle references to the word "Voronezh" are dated 1177, when the Ryazan prince Yaropolk, having lost the battle, fled "to Voronozh" and there was moving "from town to town". Modern data of archeology and history interpret Voronezh as a geographical region, which included the Voronezh river (tributary of the Don) and a number of settlements. In the lower reaches of the river, a unique Slavic town-planning complex of the 8th – early 11th century was discovered, which covered the territory of the present city of Voronezh and its environs (about 42 km long, about 13 forts and many unfortified villages). By the 12th – 13th centuries, most of the old towns were desolate, but new settlements appeared upstream, closer to Ryazan.
For many years, the hypothesis of the Soviet historian Vladimir Zagorovsky dominated: he produced the toponym "Voronezh" from the hypothetical Slavic personal name Voroneg. This man allegedly gave the name of a small town in the Chernigov Principality (now the village of Voronizh in Ukraine). Later, in the 11th or 12th century, the settlers were able to "transfer" this name to the Don region, where they named the second city Voronezh, and the river got its name from the city. However, now many researchers criticize the hypothesis, since in reality neither the name of Voroneg nor the second city was revealed, and usually the names of Russian cities repeated the names of the rivers, but not vice versa.
A comprehensive scientific analysis was conducted in 2015–2016 by the historian Pavel Popov. His conclusion: "Voronezh" is a probable Slavic macrotoponym associated with outstanding signs of nature, has a root voron- (from the proto-Slavic vorn) in the meaning of "black, dark" and the suffix -ezh (-azh, -ozh). It was not “transferred” and in the 8th - 9th centuries it marked a vast territory covered with black forests (oak forests) - from the mouth of the Voronezh river to the Voronozhsky annalistic forests in the middle and upper reaches of the river, and in the west to the Don (many forests were cut down). The historian believes that the main "city" of the early town-planning complex could repeat the name of the region – Voronezh. Now the hillfort is located in the administrative part of the modern city, in the Voronezh upland oak forest. This is one of Europe's largest ancient Slavic hillforts, the area of which – more than 9 hectares – 13 times the area of the main settlement in Kyiv before the baptism of Rus.
In it is assumed that the word "Voronezh" means bluing - a technique to increase the corrosion resistance of iron products. This explanation fits well with the proximity to the ancient city of Voronezh of a large iron deposit and the city of Stary Oskol. As well as the name of Voroneț Monastery known for its blue shade.
Folk etymology claims the name comes from combining the Russian words for raven (ворон) and hedgehog (еж) into Воронеж. According to this explanation two Slavic tribes named after the animals used this combination to name the river which later in turn provided the name for a settlement. There is not believed to be any scientific support for this explanation.
In the 16th century, the Middle Don basin, including the Voronezh river, was gradually conquered by Muscovy from the Nogai Horde (a successor state of the Golden Horde), and the current city of Voronezh was established in 1585 by Feodor I as a fort protecting the Muravsky Trail trade route against the slave raids of the Nogai and Crimean Tatars. The city was named after the river.
17th to 19th centuries
In the 17th century, Voronezh gradually evolved into a sizable town. Weronecz is shown on the Worona river in Resania in Joan Blaeu's map of 1645. Peter the Great built a dockyard in Voronezh where the Azov Flotilla was constructed for the Azov campaigns in 1695 and 1696. This fleet, the first ever built in Russia, included the first Russian ship of the line, Goto Predestinatsia. The Orthodox diocese of Voronezh was instituted in 1682 and its first bishop, Mitrofan of Voronezh, was later proclaimed the town's patron saint.
Owing to the Voronezh Admiralty Wharf, for a short time, Voronezh became the largest city of South Russia and the economic center of a large and fertile region. In 1711, it was made the seat of the Azov Governorate, which eventually morphed into the Voronezh Governorate.
In the 19th century, Voronezh was a center of the Central Black Earth Region. Manufacturing industry (mills, tallow-melting, butter-making, soap, leather, and other works) as well as bread, cattle, suet, and the hair trade developed in the town. A railway connected Voronezh with Moscow in 1868 and Rostov-on-Don in 1871.
