Mallow (lat. Malva), or kalachik, or stem-rose - the type genus of the Malvaceae family - a herbaceous plant, usually annual, sometimes biennial and perennial. Today, about 30 species of mallow grow naturally in the temperate climates of North Africa, North America, Asia and Europe. Mallow was cultivated in Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece: a description of the healing properties of the plant was found in the writings of Hippocrates and Pliny the Elder. In the twenties of the last century, scientists discovered ecological plasticity and high fodder qualities in mallow. And large bright pink flowers have always aroused the admiration of artists who depicted them in paintings, and poets who sang about them in verse.
Mallow has long been known in folk medicine. The beneficial properties of mallow have been studied by healers in many countries. For example, an infusion of mallow flowers and leaves cures stomach inflammation and intestinal disorders. Hot baths with steamed leaves or flowers of mallow (mallow) help relieve swelling of the spleen. The forest mallow grass is a constant component of chest collections.

In de late middag van deze grijze 6 juni kreeg ik bericht dat de Rzepin-shuttle die nog niet zo lang bij VTG rijdt via Emmerich werd omgeleid. In eerste instantie werd mij verteld dat hij mogelijk over de Betuweroute ging.
Maar toen ik hoorde dat hij over het conventionele net via Zevenaar, Arnhem en Nijmegen uiteindelijk naar Tilburg Industrie reed werd de spullen gepakt en weer richting de spoorbrug over de IJssel gereden. Een cargo over Arnhem-Zevenaar gebeurt namelijk niet elke dag.
Daar aangekomen hoefde ongeveer 20 minuten gewacht te worden op de Rzepin-shuttle. Toen het sein vanuit de richting Zevenaar op een "vreemde" tijd op rood ging kwam dan de bevestiging dat hij in aantocht was.
Terwijl het gelukkig een uur van te voren de zon ging schijnen passeert de fraaie 189 211 van VTG met Rzepin-shuttle 49784 de spoorbrug over IJssel bij Arnhem.

This image was created from multiple exposures blended together in Photoshop CS6 layers using the "Lighten" blend mode. All exposures were taken with a single Paul C. Buff Einstein strobe with a 22" beauty dish attached to a Elinchrom boom arm and a 3-stop B&W ND filter attached to my lens. If you send me a FlickrMail message, I'll be more than happy to send you some information on mostly how I photograph this style and what equipment I use, along with some YouTube video links that help explain this process.

Die Sperlinge (Passeridae, von lat. passer, „Sperling“) sind eine Familie der Vögel, die zu den Singvögeln gehört.
Es werden insgesamt acht Gattungen mit 43 Arten zu dieser Familie gerechnet. Das Wort „Sperling“ wird vom althochdeutschen sparo (mittelhochdeutsch dann spar ‚zappeln‘) mit der Endsilbe -ling abgeleitet. Ihre Verbreitung ist vorwiegend Eurasien und Afrika, wobei Afrika der Verbreitungsschwerpunkt ist. Einige wenige Vertreter dieser Gattung wurden auch in anderen Kontinenten eingeführt. So kommt der auch als Spatz bekannte Haussperling (Passer domesticus) beispielsweise in weiten Teilen Nordamerikas und Südamerikas vor, nachdem europäische Siedler ihn dort gezielt eingeführt haben. Auch in Australien und Neuseeland ist der Haussperling mittlerweile weit verbreitet.

. . another dawn.
Sorry I've not been around much; things are just a bit busy at the moment.
Have a great weekend.
Late autumn arrival.
Ieri nel parco di Villa Bruno a SanGiorgio
ho potuto finalmente fotografare le foglie autunnali.
Hay lugares concebidos para la soledad. Pequeños reductos de aislamiento anímico que, incluso rodeados de vida y agitación, resultan perfectos para aparcar la realidad en segunda fila y sumergirse en uno mismo, sin importar que a escasos centímetros la existencia siga fluyendo a un ritmo frenético. Un banco en la calle, un asiento en una estación de metro, un trozo de césped de un parque cualquiera: escenarios que llevamos dentro, donde poder desahogar nuestra tristeza. Yo soy un asiduo visitante.
