The Miao are a people who live along rivers and, as a result, they are consummate bridge builders. Miao bridges are architecturally aesthetic, functional and serve as a place for people to convene and socialize. This bridge, with its beautiful benches, was seemingly in the middle of no where; only a few simple buildings were nearby but the water buffalo horns clearly marked this as a bridge of the Miao people.

In the night between 9 and 10 July 1943, the Allies landed in Sicily, an event that marked a decisive chapter for the fate of the Second World War: the operation was intended to open a front in continental Europe, invade and defeat Italy, was called in code "Operation Husky". The Anglo-American army, with its ships and landing craft (totally 2800 units), with its 150 thousand men, with its 600 tanks, with its 1,000 cannons, appeared in front of the Sicilian coasts during the night: it consisted of two units, the US 7th Army commanded by General Patton, and the British 8th Army commanded by General Montgomery. The British sector landed on the eastern coast, between Noto, Pachino, Portopalo, while the American sector landed between Licata and Scoglitti, a coastal belt comprising the Gulf of Gela.
This premise to describe the places of my photographs, made between Gela and Licata, partly on those same beaches that saw the formidable landing of men and vehicles during the Second World War (not without bloodshed), often thinking of how places so beautiful they were the scene of tragic events about 77 years ago. A little regret of mine I was not being able to photograph a large American landing craft underwater, sunk about 500 meters from the coast, no more than 6-7 meters deep: it is about 20 years that I "go to find it" with free diving, and every time I see it I always feel a great emotion (sooner or later I will have to decide to get with me an underwater camera). I revisited (every time it is always a great emotion) the bunkers and casemates present on the whole stretch (and beyond) Licata-Gela, in some of them I entered inside, while in others the presence of earth made exploration impossible internal. In the town of Licata I always feel strong emotions going around, especially in the oldest part of the country in its historical center: I saw the Black Christ, pierced in the past by arrows from the Saracens (one arrow is present just above the left eye, the original arrow was removed by the Maltese colonists and replaced with a silver arrow). My next photos, divided into groups, will have as their theme the town of Licata, and its beaches.
Most of the photos are confused-blurry-blurred-imprecise-indecisive ... the Anglo-Saxon term that encompasses with a single word this photographic genre is "blur", these photos were made in the shooting phase, deliberately lengthening the exposure, and not as an effect created subsequently, in retrospect, in the post-production phase.

Nella notte tra il 9 e il 10 luglio 1943, avvenne lo sbarco degli Alleati in Sicilia, evento che segnò un capitolo determinante per le sorti della Seconda guerra mondiale: l’operazione aveva lo scopo di aprire un fronte nell’Europa continentale, invadere e sconfiggere l’Italia, venne chiamata in codice “Operazione Husky”. L'armata anglo-americana, con le sue navi e mezzi da sbarco (in toto 2800 unità), con i suoi 150 mila uomini, con i suoi 600 carri armati, con i suoi 1.000 cannoni, si presentò davanti alle coste siciliane durante la notte: essa era composta da due unità, la 7a Armata statunitense comandata dal generale Patton, e l’8° Armata britannica comandata dal generale Montgomery. Il settore britannico sbarcò sulla fascia costiera più ad oriente, tra Noto, Pachino, Portopalo, mentre il settore statunitense sbarcò tra Licata e Scoglitti, fascia costiera comprendente il golfo di Gela.
Questa premessa per descrivere i luoghi delle mie fotografie, realizzate tra Gela e Licata, in parte su quelle stesse spiagge che hanno visto il formidabile sbarco di uomini e mezzi durante la seconda guerra mondiale (non senza spargimento di sangue), ripensando spesso a come luoghi così belli siano stati scenario di eventi tragici circa 77 anni addietro. Un mio piccolo rammarico è stato il non poter fotografare sott’acqua un grosso mezzo navale da sbarco americano, affondato a circa 500 metri dalla costa, a non più di 6-7 metri di profondità: sono circa 20 anni che “lo vado ritrovare” con immersioni in apnea, ed ogni volta che lo vedo provo sempre una grande emozione (dovrò decidermi prima o poi a procurarmi una macchina fotografica subacquea). Ho rivisitato (ogni volta è sempre una grande emozione) i bunker e le casamatte presenti su tutto il tratto (ed oltre) Licata-Gela, in alcuni di essi sono entrato dentro, mentre in altri la presenza di terra ha reso impossibile l’esplorazione interna. Nel paese di Licata provo sempre forti emozioni andando a zonzo, soprattutto nella parte più antica del paese nel suo centro storico: ho rivisto il Cristo Nero, trafitto anticamente dalle frecce dai saraceni (una freccia è presente poco sopra l’occhio sinistro, la freccia originale fu tolta dai coloni Maltesi e sostituita con una freccia d’argento). Le mie prossime foto, divise in gruppi, avranno come tema il paese di Licata, e le sue spiagge.
La maggior parte delle foto sono confuse-mosse-sfocate-imprecise-indecise...il termine anglosassone che racchiude con una sola parola questo genere fotografico è "blur", queste foto sono state così realizzate in fase di scatto allungando volutamente i tempi di esposizione, e non come un effetto creato successivamente, a posteriori, in fase di post-produzione.

I swear, one day I will stop with the horizontal pictures. Really.
Aaaaaand another commission finished. I had this one here for quite a long time because it consists of a shitton of steps. Face-Up, body blushing, airbrushing of the fantasy parts, scars...I have to say though that working with him was just pure bliss. Everything worked out right away, same for taking the pictures.
Loongsoul has an AWESOME quality and now I want to repaint Dok too.
Here are the shop photos, starting with the face-up ones:

His fantasy-parts, all airbrushed:
Farkas is actually a pretty cool mold, I'm sad not many people bought him. His default wig and outfit is horrible though XD

The view from Hjelmkollen fort [Helmet Head] which is located on a marked hill just East of the old Svinesundsbro in Halden municipality.
As a result of the uncertain situation before the dissolution of the Union at the beginning of the 20th century, the fort was built in 1902-03 as an advanced fort towards Sweden. The main gun was two Schneider-Canet L40 M/1902 12cm turret cannons. These were blasted into rocks with underlying bunkers. In addition, two machine-gun positions and a number of smaller positions for local defence. The fort covers the entrance to Halden and the old ferry berth at Svinesund, while the bridge was not built until 1946.
Hjelmkollen fort was subject to Fredriksten fortress in Halden.
After the Karlstad Settlement in 1905, the cannons were removed and the facility demolished in the summer of 1906. The cannon was reassembled at the newly built Greåker fort.
During the occupation during World War II, the German forces took over the facility. The facility is now listed and still owned by the Armed Forces.
There is a signposted path from the plateau on the East side of the old Svinesund bridge (the nearest one).

The arrow-marked babbler is a medium-sized babbler, 22 to 25 cm (8.7–9.8 in) in length and weighing 56 to 85 g (2.0–3.0 oz). The common name for the species is derived from its plumage, which is brownish-grey above and lighter below, with white tips to the feathers on the throat, neck and head. The outer iris is bright red and the inner bright yellow or orange. Males and females are identical in appearance. Juveniles have brown eyes and less arrow-shaped streaking on the breast. I have never seen one before so lucky to photograph one in KlaseriePrivate Game Reserve South Africa

2007 marked the 11th year of my birthday railfan trips. That would mean that it was time to revisit locations.
I visited the ex. Erie east of Port Jervis in 1997. 2007 would find me reversing my direction shooting the line, this time starting at Moodna and working west.
Two ex, CR GP38-2's sit in the yard at Campbell Hall. Unlike 1997, in 2007 I would see no freight move. Kodachrome scan.
We are leaving those who love us for those we love...and then observing those we love leaving us for others who they love...One thing is sure. I am marked once forever by dove's love.
