One of those nights when your jaw just falls and you're wishing you never have to leave such a beautiful place.
I shot this from a tarn 25 miles from the nearest trailhead, in the backcountry of the High Sierra. The unique light was caused by the combination of building clouds and smoke from nearby fires.
Thanks so much for looking -- and, as always, any suggestions to make it even better are highly welcome.

Italien / Toskana - Pitigliano
Pitigliano is a town in the province of Grosseto, located about 80 kilometres (50 mi) south-east of the city of Grosseto, Tuscany, Italy.
The quaint old town is known as the little Jerusalem, for the historical presence of a Jewish community that has always been well integrated into the social context and that has its own synagogue.
History
Pitigliano and its area were inhabited in Etruscan times but the first extant written mention of it dates only to 1061. In the early 13th century it belonged to the Aldobrandeschi family and by the middle of the century it had become the capital of the surrounding county.
In 1293 the county passed to the Orsini family, signalling the start of 150 years of on-again/off-again wars with Siena, at the end of which, in 1455, a compromise of sorts was reached: Siena acknowledged the status of county to Pitigliano, which in exchange placed herself under the sovereignty of Siena.
From then onwards the history of Pitigliano resorbs into the gradually wider ambit first of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany (1562) then of the united Kingdom of Italy.
Population
Synagogue and Jewish community
For several hundred years Pitigliano was a frontier town between the Grand Duchy of Tuscany and, to the south, the Papal States. For this reason, the town was home to a flourishing and long-lived Jewish community, mostly made up by people fleeing from Rome during the Counterreformation persecutions. Jews of the town used one of the caves for their ritual Passover matzoh bakery, the "forno delle azzime" described in detail in Edda Servi Machlin's "Classic Cuisine of the Italian Jews." After the promulgation of racial laws under Nazi influence, all the Jews of the town reportedly escaped capture with the help of their Christian neighbors. Although there are almost no Jews left in town, not enough to provide a minyan, the synagogue (1598, with furnishings of the 17th and 18th centuries) is still officiated from time to time. It was restored in 1995.
Main sights
Etruscan remains
Pitigliano is home to a series of artificial cuts into the tufa rock to varying depths ranging from less than 1 metre (3.3 ft) to over 10 metres (33 ft). At the bottom of these cuts (Italian: tagliate) are carved channels, apparently for water, although some take the form of steps. The purpose of the cuts is not known: the three main theories are that they were roads, quarries, or water conveyance schemes; they radiate outward from the base of the butte of Pitigliano, down to the rivers then back to the top of the plateau that surrounds the town. A few very brief Etruscan inscriptions are said to have been found on the walls of the cuts, but are ill documented.
Medieval and Renaissance structures
The Cathedral of Santi Pietro e Paolo, Pitigliano.
The church of Santa Maria.
The Orsini Fortress, which achieved its present state in 1545 but represents a reworking of the earlier medieval fortress
the town's walls and gates, the best preserved of which is the Porta Sovana.
remains of a tall and very visible aqueduct at the very top of the butte.
Tempietto
The Tempietto ("Small temple") is a small cave, probably of natural origin but considerably reworked by human hands, lying a few hundred meters outside the central district, yet far above the Lente valley. Its purpose and builders remain unknown. Locally it is referred to as a "paleochristian tempietto", but this has never been confirmed; it must date to Late Antiquity or the early Middle Ages, although it may replace an Etruscan or Roman arcosolium.
(Wikipedia)
Pitigliano ist eine italienische Gemeinde mit 3732 Einwohnern (Stand 31. Dezember 2019) im Südosten der Provinz Grosseto in der Toskana, zwischen steil eingeschnittenen Tälern gelegen mit einem mittelalterlichen Stadtkern.
Die Gemeinde ist Mitglied der Vereinigung I borghi più belli d’Italia (Die schönsten Orte Italiens).
Geografie
Der Tuffstein dieser Gegend ist auf die vulkanische Vergangenheit dieses Teils der Toskana zurückzuführen. Etwa 20 km von Pitigliano entfernt liegt der Bolsena-See, eine Caldera von etwa 14 km Durchmesser. Sie ist das Ergebnis enormer vulkanischer Explosionen, die sich vor etwa 300.000 Jahren ereignet haben. Der Monte Amiata, ein 1738 m hoher erloschener Vulkan, ist von Pitigliano aus zu sehen, im Winter ist er ein beliebtes Skigebiet. Pitigliano selbst liegt an den Flüssen Lente und Meleta.
Einziger Ortsteil (Frazione) ist Casone (524 m, ca. 130 Einwohner).
Zu den Nachbargemeinden gehören Farnese (VT), Ischia di Castro (VT), Latera (VT), Manciano, Sorano und Valentano (VT).
Geschichte
Die Stadt liegt im ursprünglich etruskischen Stammland und ist auf einen ca. 300 m hoch gelegenen Tuffsteinfelsen gebaut. Der Tuff ist auch das hier übliche Baumaterial, das in Ziegelform aus dem Fels geschnitten wird. Pitigliano ist von den tiefen Schluchten der Bäche Lente und Meleta umflossen, die sich im Lauf der Zeit in das Plateau geschnitten haben. Zusätzlich zu den natürlichen Canyons finden sich rund um die Stadt viele sogenannte „Vie Cave“, Wegsysteme der Etrusker, die in den Tuffstein gegraben wurden. Diese Etruskerstraßen sind zum Teil mit ausgeklügelten Entwässerungssystemen versehen.
Die erste schriftliche Erwähnung der Stadt stammt aus dem Jahr 1061. Im frühen 13. Jahrhundert gehörte die Stadt zum Besitz der Aldobrandeschi und wurde zum Hauptort der Umgebung. 1293 ging sie dann an die Orsini, Anfang des 17. Jahrhunderts an die Medici, welche sie 1604 in das Großherzogtum Toskana eingliederten. Im Zuge des Risorgimento im 19. Jahrhundert wurde sie Teil des Königreichs Italien.
Die Geschichte der Stadt ist stärker als an anderen Orten der Maremma von Juden mitgeprägt, die im 16. Jahrhundert in Pitigliano Zuflucht vor Verfolgung und Vertreibung fanden. Ein Verein kümmert sich um das jüdische Erbe der Stadt, so dass die Synagoge und das jüdische Viertel einer seit 1500 bestehenden sephardischen Gemeinde („Klein-Jerusalem“, Piccola Gerusalemme) in der Altstadt heute restauriert und wieder zu besichtigen sind.
Sehenswürdigkeiten
Die Kathedrale „Santi Pietro e Paolo“ geht auf das Mittelalter zurück. Im 16. Jahrhundert und danach wurde sie stark verändert und hat heute eine spätbarocke Fassade. Enthält zwei Werke von Pietro Aldi. Der Campanile, im Kern ein zum Kirchturm umgebauter mittelalterlicher Geschlechterturm, überragt weithin sichtbar die Stadt.
Die Kirche San Rocco ist die älteste Kirche der Stadt und wurde schon 1274 urkundlich erwähnt. An der äußeren Nordwand befindet sich ein Steinrelief aus dem 12. Jahrhundert.
Der Palazzo Orsini wurde am einzigen natürlichen Zugang zur Stadt als Verteidigungsanlage errichtet und wurde über mehrere Jahrhunderte immer wieder erweitert. In der Burg befindet sich heute der Bischofssitz, ein Museum religiöser Kunst sowie das städtische archäologische Museum.
Der beeindruckende Aquädukt wurde in der Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts begonnen, aber erst im 17. Jahrhundert unter den Medici vollendet.
Im Bereich des ehemaligen jüdischen Viertels sind die Synagoge, sowie die Überreste einer Mikwe, einer koscheren Schlachterei und Bäckerei zu besichtigen.
Rund um Pitigliano finden sich eine große Anzahl von Grabstätten der Etrusker, deren bekannteste die „Tomba Ildebranda“ ist. Sie ist fälschlich benannt nach dem berühmten Ildebrando von Sovana, der im 11. Jahrhundert als Papst Gregor VII. in die Kirchengeschichte einging. Die Ausgrabungsstätte ist öffentlich zugänglich.
Nahe Pititgliano befinden sich Via Cave.
Ein weiteres bedeutendes Zeugnis der etruskischen Kultur in der Umgebung der Stadt sind die Reste der Siedlung „Poggio Buco“ zwischen Pitigliano und Manciano, wo sich auch ein Museum befindet, das sich mit der Geschichte der Gegend befasst.

Ameríndios do Brasil
Ameríndios do Brasil é um projeto dedicado ao registro fotográfico da diversidade cultural indígena existente no Brasil. Trata-se do resgate, através da imagem, desse personagem que se encontra enraizado em nossa alma. Seus rituais que atravessaram o tempo e suas histórias que nos levam a um mundo nunca antes imaginado.
Percorrendo todo o Território Nacional, vamos entrar no universo fascinante da diversidade étnica brasileira. São mais de 300 tribos espalhadas por todo o País. Dos registros nas cavernas, os primeiros habitantes que aqui chegaram deixaram para a posteridade seus ícones. A caça e a pesca, suas festas em danças circulares, sua visão de um mundo ainda a ser descoberto, foram cuidadosamente gravados nas paredes do tempo.
O trabalho consiste numa documentação fotográfica sistemática de toda a População Indígena no Brasil neste início de século; como fizeram antes os pesquisadores e naturalistas Hercule Florence e Visconde de Taunay, na expedição do Barão de Langsdorf; Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius; Alexandre Rodrigues Ferreira e sua Viagem Filosófica sobre a Amazônia, entre outros tantos Viajantes.
Ameríndios do Brasil busca resgatar o que temos de melhor de nossa cultura ancestral. O trabalho visa a criação e a construção de um grande acervo etnográfico brasileiro jamais fotografado. Dessa forma, registramos para a atualidade e o futuro o que são os povos originais brasileiros.
O acervo terá várias utilizações e será dirigido à educação de diversas maneiras: livros didáticos e paradidáticos, livros de arte, editoriais, palestras e conferências interativas, ações institucionais, exposições fotográficas, produções audiovisuais, tecnologias virtuais e outras mídias.

Buttermere is a lake in the Lake District in North West England. The adjacent village of Buttermere takes its name from the lake. Historically in Cumberland, the lake is now within the county of Cumbria. Owned by the National Trust, it forms part of its Buttermere and Ennerdale property.
The lake is 1.25 miles (2,010 m) long by 0.25 miles (400 m) wide, and is 75 feet (23 m) deep.[1] It has an elevation above sea level of 329 feet (100 m). It is situated towards the head of the valley of the River Cocker and is surrounded by fells, notably the High Stile range to the south west, Robinson to the north-east, Fleetwith Pike and Haystacks to the south-east and Grasmoor to the north-west.
The village of Buttermere stands at the north-western end of the lake, and beyond this is Crummock Water. There is a path around the lake which is about 4.5 miles (7.2 km) long, and at one point runs through a rock tunnel beneath the locality of Hassness. Access is by road, from Cockermouth in the north-west; from Borrowdale via the Honister Pass; or from Braithwaite and the Newlands Valley via Newlands Hause.
There are two possible origins for the name "Buttermere":
One, that Buttermere means "the lake by the dairy pastures" (from the Old English "butere mere"). Whaley suggests this as the correct interpretation: " 'butter lake, the lake with good pasture-land', from OE 'butere' 'butter', conveying the fertile nature of the flat alluvial land at both ends of the lake, plus 'mere' 'lake',..."[2]
Two, that it is the corrupt form of a personal name. Robert Ferguson asserts in his 1866 work, "The Northmen in Cumberland and Westmoreland" that Buttermere derives from the Old Norse personal name "Buthar", as in "Buthar's mere" (lake). This accords with local tradition, which says that the valley of Buttermere was part of the holdings of an 11th-century Norse chieftain called "Buthar" (sometimes spelt "Boethar"). Large numbers of Vikings settled in the Cumbrian area during the 9th and 10th centuries and many names in the area are of Norse origin: streams are termed 'becks', from the Old Norse bekkr; mountains are 'fells', from the Norse fjall; waterfalls are forces, from fos; ravines are 'gills'; valleys are 'dales', from dalr (ON); and small lakes are termed 'tarns', which derives from tjorn, meaning teardrop. Whaley suggests that the personal name interpretation is incorrect, but notes that the Victoria County History "deemed it 'not disputed that the family of the Scotic ruler, Bueth or Boet, held its own against the Norman intruder', with possession of the barony of Gillesland, for fifty years after the Norman Conquest.
From his hidden stronghold at Buttermere, it is said that Jarl Buthar conducted a campaign of running resistance against the Norman invaders, from the time of William the Conqueror's Harrying of the North in 1069 right up until the early 12th century. In 1072 King William set up a garrison at Carlisle, but the isolated garrison needed constant reinforcement and supplies. It is claimed that the Cumbrians fought a guerrilla war against the Normans for almost half a century, attacking supply wagons, ambushing patrols and inflicting great losses upon them in terms of money, material and men.
The extent to which Jarl Buthar is a semi-mythological figure is unclear. He is apparently mentioned in 12th-century Norman documents, but much of his story appears to be based on local legend and archaeology, later enhanced by Nicholas Size's popular dramatised history (see below).
Jarl Boethar's campaign and a final battle at Rannerdale (c.f. Ferguson, "Ragnar's dale") between the Normans and the Anglo-Scandinavian Cumbrians led by the Jarl is the subject of a dramatised history by Nicholas Size, called The Secret Valley: The Real Romance of Unconquered Lakeland, published in 1930.
Rosemary Sutcliff's YA novel Shield Ring, published in 1956, imagines the lives of Jarl Buthar and his band of Cumbrian rebels, and their last stand against the forces of a Norman army under the command of Ranulf le Meschin, Lord of Carlisle and later Earl of Chester, nearly 50 years after the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. It was clearly inspired by Nicholas Size's history, which it closely follows.
Mary Robinson (1778–1837), known as the "Maid of Buttermere" and the subject of Melvyn Bragg's novel of that name, was the daughter of the landlord of the Fish Inn in Buttermere village.

Shot it at Kumbha Mela 2010.Its a greatest show on Earth.
In Hindu mythology, its origin is found in one of the popular creation myths and the Hindu theories on evolution, the Samudra manthan episode (Churning of the ocean of milk), which finds mention in the Bhagavata Purana, Vishnu Purana, the Mahabharata, and the Ramayana.
The Gods had lost their strength, and to regain it, they thought of churning the Ksheera Sagara (primordial ocean of milk) for amrit (the nectar of immortality), this required them to make a temporary agreement with their arch enemies, the demons or Asuras, to work together with a promise of sharing the nectar equally thereafter. However, when the Kumbha (urn) containing the amrita appeared, a fight ensued. For twelve days and twelve nights (equivalent to twelve human years) the gods and demons fought in the sky for the pot of amrita. It is believed that during the battle, Lord Vishnu flew away with the Kumbha of elixir, and that is when drops of amrita fell at four places on earth: Prayag, Haridwar, Ujjain and Nashik, and that is where the Kumbh Mela is observed every twelve years.
First written evidence of the Kumbha Mela can be found in the accounts of Chinese traveller, Huan Tsang or Xuanzang (602 - 664 A.D.) who visited India in 629 -645 CE, during the reign of King Harshavardhana.

CFF RBDe560 007, Visp (ligne Brig - Lausanne), 12 Juin 2007.
Une rame "Colibri" série RBDe560 des CFF, dans la configuration d'origine avant modernisation, assure une mission régionale locale Brig - Sion, vue ici non loin de Visp. En haut à droite sur la photo, on distingue la ligne du Lötschberg, qui s'accroche à la falaise.
L'origine è incerta, poiché non esistono documenti anteriori al XII secolo. Fino al 1260 appartenne ai castelli dei conti della Berardenga e nel 1271 fu sede di un giurisdicente civile dipendente dal Podestà di Siena.. Il Poggio fino al 1833 contava 315 abitanti e oggi è un paese senza genti; un paese fantasma.
Restano le sue vuote case, e una targa a ricordare che per un tempo qui rimase l'eroe dei due mondi per dimenticare lo scempio di Aspromonte; lì dove Garibaldi, in marcia verso Roma per scacciare il papa, fu fermato e ferito dal regio esercito.

The build used in my Deadpool vs the Fourth Wall creation.
The build here was heavily inspired by X-Men Origins: Wolverine; and while it’s small and cute, I think it depicts the scene fairly well, considering that depicting the scene was not really the point of the build anyways. Originally, for my Deadpool vs the Fourth Wallbuild, I wanted to have Deadpool blasting out a wall on the back of a build, landing into the film production (Somewhat seen in the final build), but hah, well it’s not the “Fourth Wall” unless he’s jumping out of the invisible viewable wall in the front—required to do that made the overall build less “action-ey” but still nice in the end.

In other J-No news, I’ve got a few things on the list to be made as well as released. Tuesday, October 1st, arrives Batman: Arkham Origins, Deathstroke. There are currently no Batman Animated Series builds scheduled to be released soon; I’m currently searching for episodes to create next, and then any pieces I may need to acquire for them as well. Potential Wonder Woman build coming, along with a possible Superman build as well as another Marvel build I’ve wanted to do for a while.

Oh and I dedicate this to Classical Beauty for the testimonial. Thank you, dear!
The hearts are out of sweet pepper and I spent hours for making them myself.
Now I won't be able smell any sweet pepper without feeling sick ever again.
I'm not really satisfied but my teacher liked it though..
L'altopiano si eleva rapidamente dalla pianura sottostante oltre i 1.000 m d'altitudine. Si tratta invero di una conca "coronata" da alcune cime rocciose: a sud-ovest il Costa, la Cima Valsotta, il Millifret e il Pizzoc, che lo dividono dalla Val Lapisina, ad est il gruppo del Cavallo, oltre il quale si trova il Piancavallo.
Sull'altopiano sono presenti vari fenomeni di origine carsica, in particolar modo doline e inghiottitoi. I più celebri sono il Bus de la Lum, il Bus della Genziana e l'Abisso del Col della Rizza i quali sono profondi rispettivamente -180, -585 e -794 metri.
as I was photographing this branch of Thistles, one of them exploded… probably the warmth of the lights? Did it feel there was too much 'sun' suddenly? LOL
Thousands of flighty feathery seeds, I had to quickly put a bag over it, they went flying off all over!
Thistle is the common name of a group of flowering plants characterised by leaves with sharp prickles on the margins, mostly in the family Asteraceae.
Prickles occur all over the plant – on surfaces such as those of the stem and flat parts of leaves.
These are an adaptation that protects the plant against herbivorous animals, discouraging them from feeding on the plant.
Interesting bit: Carduus is the Latin term for a thistle (hence cardoon, and chardon in French), and Cardonnacum is the Latin word for a place with thistles.
This is believed to be the origin of name of the Burgundy village of Chardonnay, Saône-et-Loire, which in turn is thought to be the home of the famous Chardonnay grape variety.
I wish you all the very best and thanx for all your kind words, time, comments, likes and faves. Very much appreciated.

“Origins” (2021) Inspired by the stunning Iceland aerial photographs by Haraldur Diego (aka @volcanopilot ) this black sand abstract focuses on form, texture and flow. When I learned of his passing last month, I decided to process an abstract as my own personal tribute to him. I never got to meet Haraldur in person, but I appreciate how he showed the world the beauty of Iceland’s glacial rivers and streams. Thank you!
