Belvedere Giacomo Puccini with view over Lago Massaciuccoli
The Villa Puccini is in our back.
Torre del Lago, Tuscany, Italy
"[...] From 1891 onwards, [Giacomo] Puccini spent most of his time, when not traveling on business, at Torre del Lago, a small community about fifteen miles from Lucca situated between the Ligurian Sea and Lake Massaciuccoli, just south of Viareggio. Torre del Lago was the primary place for Puccini to indulge his love of hunting. "I love hunting, I love cars: and for these things, in the isolation of Torre del Lago, I keep the faith." ("Amo la caccia, adoro l'automobile: e a questo e a quella nelle solitudini di Torre del Lago serbo intera la mia fede.")
By 1900, he had acquired land and built a villa on the lake, now known as the "Villa Puccini". He lived there until 1921, when pollution produced by peat works on the lake forced him to move to Viareggio, a few kilometres north. After his death, a mausoleum was created in the Villa Puccini and the composer is buried there in the chapel, along with his wife and son who died later.
The Villa Museo was owned by his granddaughter, Simonetta Puccini, until her death, and is open to the public. An annual Festival Puccini is held at Torre del Lago. [...]" (Wikipedia)
I wanted to get closer to this barn but I wasn't about to hike through 3 feet of snow to get there. Where's my zoom lens when I need it! :-)
self inflicted...I couldn't help wondering where it came from, how it got there, if it was the tip of a bigger mass.
need to get a getaway. so badly.
this picture was captured at Sungai Panjang, Near Sabak Bernam, on a misty morning. the sun was already high as it was almost 8am, so i took the advantage for some landscape + selfie + backlit photography. am i doing it right? u give the answer :)
I've finally gotten around to making some brand new hairs. It's so good to be back. I'm getting into the swing of things again! Anyway, I hope you enjoy them! <3
Anyway, I think we've improved the lag and Lula should be fine. Come to our little set up and try some demos and find some cute stuff!

Mrs Palmer’s home-baked fruit scones. People in the UK will recognise a scone (although there is regional disagreement as to whether it’s pronounced to rhyme with ‘stone’ or ‘gone’). I guess the nearest US equivalent is biscuits, as in biscuits and gravy, although a biscuit is not exactly the same thing. Our scones are eaten sliced across and each half spread with butter, or as part of a traditional ’Cream Tea’ when the butter is replaced with clotted cream and jam (aka jelly). Another fine argument concerns the order of application of the toppings. In Devon, the cream goes on first, in Cornwall, the jam.

The task is to explore the house, inside and out, finding new ways of looking at the familiar things that surround me every day, and literally shedding new light on them - hopefully producing a worthwhile photograph.
Might not be one every day, but we'll see.

Lighting: Daylight from window camera right.

To be happy in this world, especially when youth is past, it is necessary to feel oneself not merely an isolated individual whose day will soon be over, but part of the stream of life slowing on from the first germ to the remote and unknown future.--Bertrand Russell

Those who know my work will know how much I love this backdrop.

Isolation will slow down the Covid-19 spread.
With billions of people currently confined to their homes, many are asking how long will this lockdown last, and what happens when we re-emerge? New models are suggesting this wave of social distancing is just the first phase of a long war that may last until 2022.
