Last week I came back from a fishing trip in Ireland. We had good days with beer, wine and we tried some Irish whiskey. I bought myself a few small bottles (5 cl) Irish whiskey as a souvenir to remember these great days.
While cooking breakfast I noticed the jagged membrane of my egg. I also shot a portion of an amethyst geode but felt that this was perfectly jagged.
It's difficult to resist the urge to take a picture of a Dandelion with a maco lens. They reveal much about the lenses characteristics.
Minolta Rokkor 100mm f3.5 Macro
Vuelvo al macro con energias renovadas. He recuperado por un precio irrisorio un duplicador macro Foca hr7 que me convierte el 50mm 1.8 en un 100mm 2.8 con macro 1:1
Esto es una primera prueba para ver si funciona y ni mucho menos es 1:1. Creo que incluso es de mejor calidad que el que tenia vivitar. Por 25 lereles :-)
Creo que el próximo articulo del fotoblog lo documentaré. Darme una semana y subiré un analisis del parato. Lo encontrareis aquí: xd-nova-imatge-disseny.blogspot.com/

Tenjyuan :
Tenjyuan is one of the most historically important temple of the Nanzenji. It was built as a dedication of the founder of the Nanzenji , Daiminkokushi Mukanfumon .
In 1267 the Emperpor Kameyama,enchanted with the natural beauty of the spot,elected a villa on the site where where the Nanzenji Temple now stands. Around 1288 the emperor was vexed by the appearance of a ghost and asked for help from Daiminkokushi ,the third Chief Priest of the Tofukuji Temple.
The priest rid Emperor Kameyama of the gost by merely performing Zazen meditations without reciting a single sutra.
The emperor was deeply moved by this demonstration of the priest's virtue and subsequently became became his disciple,giving himself the name Hoo("Great Priest").He later converted his villa into zen temple and dedicated it to Daiminkokushi.These events took place in Hoo's later years ; the priest died before the coversation of the villa was complete.It was left for a priest named Kiansoen,the successor of Daiminkokushi.to finish the work and inaugurate the zen temple. For this reason little credit for the task is given to Daiminkokushi himself.In 1336 Kokakushiren,the 15th chief priest of Nanzen Ji Temple,asked the retired Emperor Kogon for permission to construct a building commemorating the founding of the temple by Daiminkokushi.Construction on the building was completed in the following year(1337),hence the opening of the Tenjyuan.
Tenjyuan,however ,was destroyed in the Nanzenji conflagration of 1447 .Nor was the temple spared destraction by fire during the Onin War ( 1467-1477). More then 130 years passed before the temple was finally reconstructed.
Many of the temples destroyed by wars were reconstructed in the last quarter of the 16th century,when Japan enjoyed a period of political stability. The priests of Nanzenji agreed that the Tenjyuan be reconstructed by one of the most famous Zen priests of Kyoto,Genporeisan.He appointed Ungakureikei chief priest of the Tenjyuan ,and asked the daimyo Hosokawa Yusei to finance the enterprise.Thanks to generous contribution of Hosokawa,the reconstruction of the Main Hall,the Main Gate,and the old study was completed in August ,1602.These are the Tenjyuan buildings that stand today.
The garden consists of the front ,or eastern,garden of the Main Hall, and the southern garden near the Study.
***The eastern garden is a rock garden. A geometrically designed stone footpath embedded in white sand and moss connects the Main Hall with the Maingate. This footpath was made 1338 after the original construction of the Tenjyuan.
The other ,shorter stone footpath leading to Yusai's mausoleum was made after Yusai's death in1610.***
The layout of the southern garden clearly illustrates the characteristics of late 14th century landscaping.The two central islands in particular epitomize this style. A long penninsula extending from the study and a smaller penninsula extending from the other side meet to form a curling clasp,creating an eastern and western pond.The shorelines of the two ponds so divided are thus varied.
The eastern pond is smaller than the other and has a slopping bank.In addition to this landscaping technique,the arrangement of rocks near the waterfall indicates that the garden was made around the time of the construction of the Tenjyuan in 1337.

Oui, je sais, c'est horrible!La nature est parfois cruelle!Mais après une petite recherche, c'est fort intéressant cette histoire;)EN gros, j'ai trouvé hier cette pauvre mouche.Une mouche morte en train de se cristalliser.Visiblement parasitée par un champignon portant le joli nom de Entomophthora muscae.Ce champignon parasite les mouches, "force" la mouche à aller se percher sur un point en hauteur, à écarter les ailes puis il la tue en lachant les spores, spores qui grâce à ce stratagème ont une chance de dispersion maximale. Affreux non?La nature est incroyable et parfois cruelle.
En voulant tourner ensuite la fleur, le corps est parti...Ne laissant plus que la tête.
Le champignon tueur est utilisé comme insecticide naturel.

Joshoko-ji was founded in about 1362 by retired Emperor Kogen,the first emperor of the Northern dynasty during a turbulent period when political power was divided between dynasties of north and south.
In the middle of the warring period Kogen chose to build his secluded hermitage in this location far from the centre of power, and upon his return to Kyoto he converted himself into a priest of Zen-sect and altered a nearby temple called Jojyuji and opened this.
Emperor Gohanazono later dedicated the forested mountains behind the temple of and other offerings to the spirits of retired Emperor Kogen. The Imperial family and the parishioners worked together to support this temple.
The temple was completely destroyed by fire in 1579 during the Warring States period. With restoration of imperial power following the downfall of the shogunate. the temple was restored and expanded again.
This zen temple is currently affiliated with the Kyoto Saga Tenryuji branch of the Rinzai sect of Buddhism.
