In "honor" of Columbus Day, I reflect upon my Taíno roots, from my paternal grandmother's side and one of my maternal great-grandmothers. My oldest brother sent our parents' dna for testing and it confirms Amerindian mtDNA (and other types as well, of course). That being said, mtDNA (mitochondrial dna) paints a very incomplete picture of "who we are" but is of interest because it is passed intact maternally, unlike our nuclear DNA, which is passed in recombinant form. It can be used to trace our ancestors' geographical migrations, over many centuries. It tells us what continents our ancestors came from. Many people wish for DNA information to reveal "race", as they equate continental ancestry to social constructs of so-called race.
The Spaniards did their best to fuck, enslave and kill the Taínos, the indigenous people of the Caribbean, but we're still around, bitches.

An areal of the New Inner harbour of Copenhagen. Until about 10 years ago, most of this area was either industrial area or laying out as abandoned because the factories shot down. A big effort from Town government trying to get a uniform area, and some serious thoughts from architects have made the area into a buzzing vibrant integrated area in Copenhagen
Inner Harbor in Baltimore, MD. I used a swing with the 24mm PC-E in this one to laser-focus in the distance and blur out the sides.
Early morning hike on Inner Basin Trail, San Francisco Peaks.
2009-05-30: Saturday evening, we were sitting on the front porch after our evening walk, enjoying a cup of chai and watching the sun set. There had been rain during the late afternoon, and heavy clouds had descended over the Peaks, hiding the mountain from view. The clouds had lifted in time for our evening ritual, and we noticed there was new snow on the upper tips of the Peaks. As we sipped our tea, we joked “If we were really motivated, we’d get up early, hit the Inner Basin Trail at dawn, and get some good photos before the snow melts off…”
2009-05-31: …so, at 4:00AM we stumbled out of bed, grabbed some coffee, got dressed, grabbed more coffee and rolled out the door around 4:30AM. We drove up the mountain, and hit the trail around 5:15AM. There was a bit of a breeze making the hike rather chilly. Everything was wet and green, and the aspens created a delectable aroma. Past Jack Spring (1.5 miles from the trailhead) we hit the frost line, and the vegetation sparkled (and the air was noticeably chillier). We arrived at the Inner Basin (the point where there’s a shelter and pumphouse, and all the Peaks are visible) around 6:45AM. We’d expected some shade still at that hour, and were delighted to discover the sun was shining right up through the low point in the Peaks (the north-eastern side, where the wall was blown out during an eruption), lighting up the entire Inner Basin for us. We wandered around a bit capturing various shots, then headed back to attend to our day’s activities.

March 1st, 2006. Finally started filling in the areas which have just been an outline for over a year. WOO!
-The Burggarten, like the Volksgarten, was made after Napoleon's army demolished the defensive structures which previously occupied the land. Designed by Franz Antoine, the court gardener, it served a private royal garden for the Habsburg family in Hofburg palace, from the time of its design in 1818 until the end of the empire in 1918. Kaiser Franz II occasionally worked in the garden himself. This is the Mozart Memorial on the southwest of the garden, with bedding plants used to draw a musical clef.
When the silence beckons,
And the day draws to a close,
When the light of your life sighs,
And love dies in your eyes,
Only then will I realise,
What you mean to me.
