"I dwell in a lonely house I know
That vanished many a summer ago,
And left no trace but the cellar walls,
And a cellar in which the daylight falls
And the purple-stemmed wild raspberries grow.
O'er ruined fences the grape-vines shield
The woods come back to the mowing field;
The orchard tree has grown one copse
Of new wood and old where the woodpecker chops;
The footpath down to the well is healed.
I dwell with a strangely aching heart
In that vanished abode there far apart
On that disused and forgotten road
That has no dust-bath now for the toad.
Night comes; the black bats tumble and dart;
The whippoorwill is coming to shout
And hush and cluck and flutter about:
I hear him begin far enough away
Full many a time to say his say
Before he arrives to say it out.
It is under the small, dim, summer star.
I know not who these mute folk are
Who share the unlit place with me—
Those stones out under the low-limbed tree
Doubtless bear names that the mosses mar.
They are tireless folk, but slow and sad—
Though two, close-keeping, are lass and lad,—
With none among them that ever sings,
And yet, in view of how many things,
As sweet companions as might be had."
- Robert Frost, "Ghost House"

In effetti c'erano tre o quattro poliziotti che controllavano il mercatino dell'Antiquariato. Ma in zone assolutamente tranquille. Sul lungomare, verso sera, dove si affollavano pericolosamente le persone nei bar, non si vedeva nessuno....

This historic site at Promontory Summit, Utah Territory, was the locale of one of the most important accomplishments of the 19th century.
On May 10, 1869, officials of the Central Pacific Railroad and Union Pacific Railroad met here to drive four symbolic spikes (two gold), celebrating the completion of the first transcontinental railroad.
The Last Spike Ceremony is reenacted every year on the May 10th anniversary.
Working replicas of the 1860s steam locomotives 'Jupiter' and '119' keep the kids (and adults) enthralled.
Les infos sont locales, les espoirs, temporaires, les photos (presque) éternelles...

Je vois déjà des sourires illuminer les visages de certains ou l'horreur déformer les visages des puristes. Alors soyons clairs, l'appellation peut choquer certains mais le fromage est excellent ! On trouve aussi du brie et un bleu qui n'a rien à envier à notre bleu de Bresse !
A picture I shot when life wasn't as crazy. This area in Portland features buildings of an earlier time. Portland is known for their love of a good book. Powell's Books is a well-known dealer for book addicts. But only Cameron's Books & Magazines gets to boast the title of oldest bookstore in town. Established in 1938.

Hola amigos : hoy os quiero comentar algo más que se celebra en estas fiestas de Getafe. Aunque son en honor de Nuestra Patrona, La Virgen de los Angeles, no solo se realizan actos de la Iglesia. Hay mas cosas que ahora os cuento.
En el recinto ferial, hay toda clase de cachivaches para los mas peques, la noria, los caballitos, el tren de la bruja, y un sin fin de cosas, que ya ni me acuerdo. Asi como muchas casetas, con rifas, el famoso azúcar tostado, y otras donde degustar un vino dulce muy rico, y otras donde poder sentarse a cenar.
Fuera del recinto ferial hay de todo, todos los diass.:
Pasacalles, gigantes y cabezudos, gran desfile de carrozas, muchos conciertos, ofrecidos, por orquestas, y bandas de musica de aqui, y de fuera, cantantes, como, Nena Daconte, Edurne, y Soleá Morente entre otros.
Sibre todo mucha musica, tanto en el centro como en los distintos barrios.
No os he dicho que también tememos noches de fuegos artificiales, y ayer precisamente fue una de ellas, pero esta es distinta de las demás, y atrae a mucho público.
Se trata de un espectàculo piromusical,con,cohetes, luces de colores, agua y música amenizado con la música de la Banda Municipal de Getafe y se realiza en el Lago del Sectdor-3 , en mi barrio, y es un concierto muy bonito.
Concursos, eventos deportivos y hasta nuestra propia falla, cada año se planta una, y va dedicada a algo o alguien que se ha distinguido o celebrado algo en este año.
La del 2002,realizada por el artista fallero Antonio Sanchez, con la temática 100 años de la Base Aérea en Gerafe.
Me dejo todavía muchas cosas, pero no quiero resultar pesada, creo que mas o menos os he hecho un resumen de las Fiestas de mi pueblo y espero haya sido de vuestro agrado.

La Avenida de los Baobabs o Callejón de los Baobabs, es un grupo notable de baobabs de la especie Adansonia grandidieri que bordean un camino de tierra entre Morondava y Belon'i Tsiribihina en la región de Menabe, al oeste de Madagascar. Su sorprendente paisaje atrae a viajeros de todo el mundo, lo que lo convierte en uno de los lugares más visitados de la región. Ha sido un centro de esfuerzos locales de conservación. En julio de 2007, el Ministerio de Medio Ambiente, Agua y Bosques le otorgó el estado de protección temporal, un paso para convertirlo en el primer monumento natural de Madagascar.
Numerosos baobabs se encuentran dentro del área protegida que abarca 3, 2 km² entre las poblaciones de Morondava y Belo sur Tsiribinha, pero solo un tramo de 250 m se conoce como la Avenida de los Baobabs. Un grupo de 20 a 25 Adansonia grandidieri, especie endémica de Madagascar, con una altura de aproximadamente 30 m y algunos más de 800 años. La zona es el último vestigio del bosque seco que cubría Madagascar occidental, junto a dos humedales protegidos por el Ramsar, hogar de diferentes especies de fauna.

The Avenue of the Baobabs, or Alley of the Baobabs, is a prominent group of Grandidier's baobabs (Adansonia grandidieri) lining the unpaved Road No.8 between Morondava and Belon'i Tsiribihina in the Menabe region of western Madagascar. Its striking landscape draws travelers from around the world, making it one of the most visited locations in the region. It has been a center of local conservation efforts, and was granted temporary protected status in July 2007 by the Ministry of Environment, Water and e Forestry – a step toward making it Madagascar's first natural monument.
Along a 260 m (850 ft) stretch of the road is a grove of 20–25 Adansonia grandidieri baobabs. An additional 25 or so trees of this species are found growing over nearby rice paddies and meadows within 9.9 acres (4 ha) of land. The trees, which are endemic to Madagascar, are about 30 m (98 ft) in height.
The baobab trees, known locally as renala or reniala (from Malagasy reny ala "mother of the forest") are a legacy of the dense tropical forests that once thrived on Madagascar. The trees did not originally tower in isolation over the sere landscape of scrub, but stood in dense forest. Over the years, as the country's population grew, the forests were cleared for agriculture, leaving only the baobab trees, which the locals preserved as much for their own sake as for their value as a food source and building material.

Ford Mustang is a series of American automobiles manufactured by Ford. In continuous production since 1964, the Mustang is currently the longest-produced Ford car nameplate. The namesake of the "pony car" automobile segment, the Mustang was developed as a highly styled line of sporty coupes and convertibles derived from existing model lines, initially distinguished by "long hood, short deck" proportions.
