Tutta la pianta dell'oleandro (Nerium oleander) è mortale, perchè contiene cianuro, non solo i semi.
Se ne mangi solo uno, al massimo stai solo un pò male... ma più di uno ti rischi di avvelenarti, provocando il soffocamente a livello cellulare.
Pensa che usando il legno dell'oleandro, per fare la carne allo spiedo, rischi un'intossicazione mortale.
Vuoi la prova della tossicità della pianta? Prendi un fiore, o una foglia... stropicciala con le dita, e sentirai odore di mandola. Quell'odore è dato dai composti contenenti cianuro.
The third and last successful exposure of the series. This time I bothered to open the file in Photoshop and did some dreamy processing. Do you like it or is it too unnatural? :)
Thanks everyone who have watched, faved and commented the previous two star photos. I'm really surprised that those got so much attention and positive feedback.

Today, I have been ice skating on the Oostvaardersplassen (The Netherlands). We skated from the southern part near Almere to the northern part near Lelystad and back. We did 35 km of which half was against a very strong wind.

- A prism of words, for the lucky who reads Neruda in spanish …
Poema El pozo
de Pablo Neruda
A veces te hundes, caes
en tu agujero de silencio,
en tu abismo de cólera orgullosa,
y apenas puedes
volver, aún con jirones
de lo que hallaste
en la profundidad de tu existencia.
Amor mío, qué encuentras
en tu pozo cerrado?
Algas, ciénagas, rocas?
Qué ves con ojos ciegos,
rencorosa y herida?
Mi vida, no hallarás
en el pozo en que caes
lo que yo guardo para ti en la altura:
un ramo de jazmines con rocío,
un beso más profundo que tu abismo.
No me temas, no caigas
en tu rencor de nuevo.
Sacude la palabra mía que vino a herirte
y déjala que vuele por la ventana abierta.
Ella volverá a herirme
sin que tú la dirijas
puesto que fue cargada con un instante duro
y ese instante será desarmado en mi pecho.
Sonríeme radiosa
si mi boca te hiere.
No soy un pastor dulce
como en los cuentos de hadas,
sino un buen leñador que comparte contigo
tierra, viento y espinas de los montes.
Ámame tú, sonríeme,
ayúdame a ser bueno.
No te hieras en mí, que será inútil,
no me hieras a mi porque te hieres.

La Rovina si è mantenuta solo nella parte nord e presenta la tipica seghettatura medioevale. Da non perdere per alcun motivo la collezione di erbe medicinali della contadina. Attraverso i castagneti ed i frutteti si raggiunge la frazione di S. Osvaldo. L’omonima chiesa (750 metri) risale al 1234. Di quest’epoca anche la torre, il coro invece risale al XV secolo. Vicino alla chiesetta si estende un piccolo stagno. In questa zona cresce una specie di erba che produce un fine piumaggio pallido. Unita in piccoli mazzetti, quest’erba è utilizzata come ornamento sui cappelli dei musicisti e degli Schützen.

Today is the International Day against cancer ... In memory of those who lost the battle against cancer and for all those who continue to fight to win. I hope you find a cure for this disease. 92% of you will not copy and paste this text, you will you? Proud to be part of the 8%!
Sorry for a crappy face shot. I was really busy today and by the time I was 1/3 done with my work it was nightime...
I'm pretty much started to hate what I'm doing, I'm irritable, I'm getting catty, I'm getting overly defensive. I sleep everywhere I go (I swear, even when I'm eating I can fall asleep)
I feel that ever since I entered this school I've changed for the worse. It makes you a more fucked up person. You got through so much shit, stress and drama that sometimes you change into the person you hate without really realizing it. ,
I used to love getting critique, my teachers used to say that they never met a student more willing to listen to criticism. But after I entered design school it started to irritate me. Well, depending on how the critique was phrased.
Sometimes critique sounds very rude and tactless. I've gone through harsh and at times, unreasonable critiques from lecturers.
Sometimes what they're saying is just "That's ugly, please re-do it." but they have to put you through at least 5 minutes of how ugly they think it is, and in front of the whole class. They don't even tell you how you can work on it to improve.
I'm so sick of this place, we work nearly 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, it changes you, it warps you into someone you don't want to be, now I finally understand why so many of my schoolmates quit.
1. You change (for the worse). 2. You get constantly backstabbed and bitched about. 3. You face unreasonable lecturers. 4. Your skin turns bad, you develop eye bags, you feel tired all the time 5. You don't get enough time to sleep, rest etc.
And yet all your hardwork doesn't ensure that you'll get a good grade because after all that hard work you can be just put down in front of the class.
3 more days of torture. Then freedom for a short while.
I can't wait.
...
Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Come on talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
What's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you ya, what's going on
Right on, baby

Peratallada que ha sido declarada conjunto histórico artístico, es uno de los núcleos más importantes del Ampurdán en cuanto a arquitectura medieval se refiere. De un extraordinario atractivo y belleza, conserva su antiguo aspecto feudal, donde hay que destacarn el castillo fortificado con su torre del homenaje y el palacio (s. XI-XIV), las murallas (s. XII-XIII) y la iglesia de San Esteban (románica, de principios del s. XII ). Llama la atención el gran foso que rodea a esta localidad, excavado en la roca viva. De aquí procede el nombre de la Villa: Piedra Tallada.
La villa conserva la misma distribución urbana medieval: desde la Plaza Mayor, con sus singulares porches, hasta la trama de estrechas callejuelas, donde descubriremos un interesante conjunto de arquitectura popular.
Peratallada that has been declared historical artistic, is one of the most important nuclei Ampurdán about medieval architecture is concerned. In a special attraction and beauty, retains its old feudal aspect, where destacarn that the castle with its tower and the palace of the tribute (s. XI-XIV), walls (s. XII-XIII) and the church of San Esteban (Romance of the early twelfth century). Draws attention to the great moat that surrounds the town, dug into the rock. Hence the name of the Town: Stone carving.
The village retains the same distribution medieval city: from Piazza Maggiore, with its unique porch, until the fabric of narrow streets, where they discover a set of interesting architecture.
Sometimes I wonder where I am going to go with all this photography malarkey at the end of the day. I am very lucky, in that I have an audience of great people on here who are willing to read and look at what I have to say, so it makes sense for me to say something worth reading, right?
Lately I've been wondering alot about art, mostly modern, and what it actually says about anything. I get so frustrated when I see a piece of modern "art" and all it is is a load of dots that I'm sure I have as wallpaper somewhere. When I develop my photos more I want to be able to say something through them. I love banksy because his concepts are clear and well thought out, he has something to say and he says it. I hope I can be like that one day. Even if I was struggling to make enough money and no one wanted to hire me, I'd be satisfied in that my work had a purpose and wasn't pure crap passed off as "art". Fingers crossed by audience will hang around and want to see it ;)

There are so many variations to the skin on this one that it simply had to all be put into some kind of a composite image: 6 skins for ladies and 6 for gentlemen. Some ornate, others less so, some incorporating typographic elements, others without typography. Other than that there are shoulder pads, shoes, a mohawk and a pelvic attachment, which for lack of a better word we are simply calling a "skirt".

Excerpt from fpf.ccidahk.gov.hk/en/location/detail.php?id=76:
Tsuen Wan Jockey Club Tak Wah Park was designed along the classical Chinese garden theme. The park, with an area of about 1.63 hectares, is located in Tsuen Wan town centre. Being a Chinese-style garden that is rarely found in Tsuen Wan, Tak Wah Park provides a fine place for relaxation in the bustling town area. Sponsored by the Hong Kong Jockey Club, construction works of the park were carried out in 2 phases. Phase I was completed in 1989, while Phase II was completed in 1995. Modelled on the setup of a classical Chinese garden, the park has rock mountains made from Taihu rock, thick foliage, ornamental lakes, ancient village houses, a "pai lau", stone bridge, a stone boat, a pavilion and a verandah. A "Chess Garden" was built in the park, where giant stone-carved pieces of Chinese chess are used to display the endgame for the deliberation of chess lovers. In addition, there are 2 theme gardens in the park, namely, "Camellia Garden" and "Herb Garden", where different species of Camellia and herb are grown. Tak Wah Gallery and Environmental Resources Centre are converted from ancient village houses on the site. They are managed by Leisure and Cultural Services Department and Environmental Protection Department respectively.

I took this photo during my 5-day backpacking trip in High Sierra: from Onion Valley to Rae Lakes.
My team of 8 hiked about 40 miles, including going through tough Glen Pass 11798 ft (3596 m) and Kearsarge Pass 11760 ft (3550 m)
This was taken at evening before spending very first night near Matlock Lake. I walked around lake at evening - and took a number of macro shots with frogs and flowers. And I took this beautiful sunset photos of near-by Flower Lake.The whole trip was amazing, opening my eyes at beauty of high mountains filled with dozens and dozens of alpine lakes...It was not easy to carry a 40-pound backpack and climb high elevation passes while the air is so thin, but it was worh the effort and I surely will return here again

Found this guy so loaded down with pollen and sweetness that he could hardly fly!! His posture and delight make me laugh. Always a surprise with Mother Nature. Another photo from my NC mountain vacation, although I'm back in Florida. I think the flowers are lupine-- but any help with ID is welcome, and as always, I so appreciate critical feedback and help so that I can improve and become better at photography.

"Non avrai altro Dio all'infuori di me" spesso mi hai fatto pensare.
Genti diverse venute dall'Est dicevano che in fondo era uguale:
Credevano ad un altro diverso da te, non mi hanno fatto del male,
credevano ad un altro diverso da te, non mi hanno fatto del male.
Non nominare il nome di Dio, non nominarlo invano.
Con un coltello piantato nel fianco gridai la mia pena ed il suo nome:
ma forse era stanco, forse troppo occupato, non ascoltò il mio dolore;
ma forse era stanco, forse troppo lontano, davvero lo nominai invano.
Onora il padre ed onora la madre, e onora anche il loro bastone:
bacia la mano che ruppe il tuo naso perche' le chiedevi un boccone.
Quando a mio padre si fermò il cuore, non ho provato dolore,
quando a mio padre si fermò il cuore, non ho provato dolore.
Ricorda di santificare le feste, facile per noi ladroni,
entrare nei templi che rigurgitan salmi di schiavi e dei loro padroni,
senza finire legati agli altari sgozzati come animali,
senza finire legati agli altari sgozzati come animali.
Il quinto dice "non devi rubare", e forse io l'ho rispettato
vuotando in silenzio le tasche già gonfie di quelli che avevan rubato:
ma io senza legge rubai in nome mio, quegli altri nel nome di Dio,
ma io senza legge rubai in nome mio, quegli altri nel nome di Dio.
Non commettere atti che non siano puri, cioè non disperdere il seme...
Feconda una donna ogni volta che l'ami così sarai uomo di fede,
poi la voglia svanisce ed il figlio rimane e tanti ne uccide la fame.
Io forse ho confuso il piacere e l'amore ma non ho creato dolore.
Il settimo dice "non ammazzare se del cielo vuoi essere degno":
guardatela oggi questa legge di Dio tre volte inchiodata nel legno.
Guardate la fine di quel Nazzareno, un ladro non muore di meno!
Guardate la fine di quel Nazzareno, un ladro non muore di meno!
Non dire falsa testimonianza ed aiutali ad uccidere un uomo...
Lo sanno a memoria il diritto Divino, ma scordano sempre il perdono.
Ho spergiurato su Dio e sul mio onore e no non ne provo dolore,
ho spergiurato su Dio e sul mio nome e no non ne provo dolore.
Non desiderare la roba degli altri, non desiderarne la sposa...
Ditelo a quelli, chiedetelo ai pochi che hanno una donna e qualcosa...
Nei letti degli altri già caldi d'amore non ho provato dolore.
L'invidia di ieri non è già finita, stasera v'invidio la vita.
Ma adesso che viene la sera ed il buio, mi toglie il dolore dagli occhi.
E scivola il sole al di là delle dune a violentare altre notti:
io nel vedere quest'uomo che muore, madre io provo dolore;
nella pietà che non cede al rancore, madre ho imparato l'amore.
(Fabrizio de Andrè, Il testamento di Tito)
Una delle mie preferite. L'espressione femminile islamica. Perdente, sottomessa e infinitamente triste... Direi orgogliosamente disperata.
Da occidentale non posso che "assistere" alla nullità femminile dei paesi islamici, Marocco incluso.
Sono stato in alcune case marocchine, sia di città che di montagna, e nel deserto. E assicuro che le donne non contano nulla. O meglio, non contano nulla umanamente. Per il resto, naturalmente, hanno la loro funzione sociale, materiale e affettiva ma sempre in subordine all'uomo e alla polizia governativa.
Ho visto le donne lavorare nei campi (cioè nel deserto) tornare su camion scoperti ammassate come bestie. Ho visto i bar pieni di uomini e basta. Le donne non possono accedervi. Le donne non possono contrattare soldi. Le donne non possono "scegliere" quasi nulla.
Per quanto il nuovo Re, salito al trono per discendenza diretta nel 1998 (mi pare) sia un occidentalista convinto, i marocchini ad uno stadio, molto più moderno degli altri stati islamici, sono ben lungi da considerare le donne delle "persone" a tutti gli effetti. Certo, col passare degli anni, saliranno fino alla parità. Ma al momento chi parla di parità, esprime un commento decisamente edulcorato. Tuttavia è corretto ritenere il Marocco uno degli stati più avanzati in questo senso e quel conta di più in fortissima crescita economica e civile.
Dopo aver visto coi miei occhi il Marocco, non voglio immaginare cosa siano gli altri stati più integralisti con le donne...

As I enjoyed my morning latté at the Café Augusta, a cute little almost four-year-old girl had a tea party (helped by the wait staff) with her Pooh Bear. I fortunately had my camera with me, and could not resist the charming photo op. I promised the mother I would not show her daughter on-line, but I'm sure your imagination will do just as well - just picture a bright-faced, smiling little girl with blond hair! Look at Winnie's smile. Pooh Bear is having a wonderful time.

Male: 42 - 48mm
Female: 46 - 52mm
Checklist Number
59.009
Family:NymphalidaeRafinesque, 1815
Subfamily:SatyrinaeBoisduval, 1833
Tribe:ManioliniGrote, 1897
Genus:AphantopusWallengren, 1853
Subgenus:
Species:hyperantus(Linnaeus, 1758)
Introduction
This is a relatively-common butterfly that is unmistakable when seen at rest - the rings on the hindwings giving this butterfly its common name. The uppersides are a uniform chocolate brown that distinguish this butterfly from the closely-related Meadow Brown. Despite this uniformity, a newly-emerged adult is a surprisingly beautiful insect, the velvety wings providing a striking contrast with the delicate white fringes found on the wing edges. The dark colouring also allows this butterfly to quickly warm up - this butterfly being one of the few that flies on overcast days.
Variation in this butterfly is primarily focused on the rings on the hindwings, the lanceolata aberration being particularly striking, where the rings are elongated to form teardrops. Other aberrations occur where the rings are greatly reduced or completely absent. Huggins (1959) also describes a form in Kerry, Ireland, that is of normal size until 600 feet, when it starts to be replaced by a dwarf form that, at 1,000 feet, takes over completely.
This butterfly can be found throughout most of the British Isles, south of a line between the South Ebudes in the west and Banffshire in the east. It is also absent from the western parts of northern England, north-west of the Midlands, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. This butterfly forms discrete colonies where numbers vary from a few dozen to several thousand.
Aphantopus hyperantus
This species was first defined in Linnaeus (1758)
Conservation Status
This is one of the few species that is doing well, with evidence of increases in both distribution and population. It is not, therefore, a priority species for conservation efforts.

A variety of habitats is used, although sites characterised as being sheltered and damp are preferred, such as woodland clearings, woodland edges and rides, meadows, hedgerows, road verges and country lanes, where the full heat from the summer sun can be avoided and where the foodplant is lush. The butterfly is not typically found in open areas, such as grassland or heathland.
Life Cycle
There is one generation each year, with adults emerging in the second half of June, peaking in mid-July, with a few individuals continuing into August. The flight period is relatively-short when compared with its close relatives.
Imago
Male and female are almost identical in appearance, although it is just possible to make out the feintest of sex brands on the forewings of the male, which contains special scent scales used in courtship. Males adopt an exclusive strategy of patrolling for mates and are often seen in ones and twos fluttering among the grasses that typify their habitat.
A mated female lays her eggs in a somewhat-chaotic fashion, typically perched on a grass stem and ejecting a single egg at random, often into the air, causing it to land in the vegetation. Both sexes take nectar from a variety of sources, Bramble and Thistle being particular favourites.
Adults feed primarily on Bramble (Rubus fruticosus), Fleabane (Pulicaria dysenterica), Hemp Agrimony (Eupatorium cannabinum), Kidney Vetch (Anthyllis vulneraria), Marjoram (Origanum vulgare), Privet (Ligustrum vulgare), Ragwort (Senecio jacobaea) and Thistles (Cirsium spp. and Carduus spp.).
Ovum
Eggs are a pale yellow when first laid, but soon turn a pale brown. The stage lasts between 2 and 3 weeks.
Larva
The larva is nocturnal and hides by day at the base of a grass tussock, emerging at night to feed on the tenderest parts of the foodplant. The larva hibernates while in the 3rd instar, but will feed on particularly warm evenings during the winter. Regular feeding resumes in the spring when the larvae can be found by torchlight feeding on grass stems, although they will fall to the ground with the slightest disturbance. There are 4 moults in total.
The primary larval foodplants are Cock's-foot (Dactylis glomerata), Common Couch (Elytrigia repens), False Brome (Brachypodium sylvaticum), Meadow-grasses (various) (Poa spp.) and Tufted Hair-grass (Deschampsia cespitosa).
Pupa
The pupa is formed in a flimsy cocoon, comprising just a few strands of silk, at the base of a grass tussock. This stage lasts around 2 weeks.

Castell de Montornés, Desert de les Palmes, Benicàssim (Castelló de la plana)
El castillo de Montornés, situado en el término municipal de Benicàssim en la provincia de Castelló es una fortaleza de origen árabe del siglo X construida sobre restos de origen romano, que se sitúa sobre una escarpada cima en la sierra del Desert de les Palmes, a 4 kilómetros de la población y a una altura de 500 m en situación estratégica para la defensa de la zona, dominando un gran espacio marítimo entre las desembocaduras del Coves y del Mijares.
Esta fortaleza forma un triángulo con la torre San Vicente y con la casoleta de Salandó, que probablemente tuvieron la función de reforzar su defensa.
Se trata de un castillo montano de planta irregular, con tres recintos amurallados.
Cuenta con dos torres, una de ellas de planta cuadrangular que domina el valle de Miravet y la otra cilíndrica sobre el acantilado situado a espaldas del castillo.
Del primer recinto solo se conservan los lienzos oriental y meridional con algunos arranques de torres y del segundo recinto solo son visibles los cimientos de murallas y un aljibe al interior.
Del recinto interior se conserva varios lienzos en ángulo, situándose en este otro aljibe.
Los terrenos sobre los que se sitúa el Castillo fueron poblados desde la edad de Bronce, y posteriormente en la época de las ocupaciones romana y musulmana.
A finales del siglo XI perteneció a Pedro I el Grande, pero con la presencia almorávide y la muerte del Cid en 1099 las posesiones de Pedro I se ven seriamente amenazadas, siendo conquistado por los almorávides en 1103 y pasando definitivamente a dominios cristianos en 1234. Es abandonado en el siglo XVII.

One of the rollerbladers last night in the Grand Palais, doing a grind on a metallic railing . No special effects here, this is straight out of the camera :-)
If you look closely (easier with large size), you can see the 2 dark silhouettes of the skater still jumping onto the rail a moment before, and sliding a moment after. I'm not sure what caused this, might be a combination of my own flash and someone's else on the other side I think ?

The flat hill in the distance is a marvelous formation that can be recognised from miles away. Just to the south of it is located the historic 77 ranch first owned by Peck and Converse. Mike Shonsey of the Johnson County Range War was employed by the 77 ranch. www.wheeler-roots.org/histories/history-shonsey.php
In his book,The long trail from Texas, Ad Spaugh talks of burying a couple children who live with thier mother in a cabin east of Flat Top that took sick and died. They were buried on a pine knoll nearby Flat Top by a crew of sad cowboys.
My Grandmother who knew Ad and sadly recalled visiting with him about the burial. She told me of it before I had ever read the book many years later. Exciting and hard times...

Hace 1 año aproximadamente escribí un cuento llamado "La Princesa Dormida", me lo pase en grande escribiéndolo porque lo viví con intensidad. El narrador forma parte del cuento y escribe su relato concentrado sobre una antigua Olivetti M40 de los años 30's.
Al documentarme sobre esta maquina se despertó mi interés por ella, hasta tal punto que compre una en perfecto estado. Es una preciosidad, además fue toda una experiencia volver a usar una maquina de escribir manual así como para mis hijos que nunca habían visto ni usado ninguna.

Jeudi dernier après le boulot Yoann et moi nous sommes allés sur la plage de Bourda/Montjoly (entrée Ifremer) pour tenter un coucher de soleil. Malheureusement, elle était pleine de joggers et de kitesurfers. La marée était trop haute pour essayer de composer avec les rochers, donc... encore un autoportrait (désolé ;-). Plage de Bourda, Guyane française.

Last Thursday after work Yoann and I went on the beach of Bourda/Montjoly (Ifremer's entry) to try a sunset shot. Unfortunately, it was full of joggers and kitesurfers. The tide was too high to try to compose with the rocks, so ... yet a selfportrait (sorry ;-). Beach of Bourda (French guiana).

Yo no veo otra salida, no quiero pasar la vida
sin que la vida pase a través de mí...
Y aunque me pierda completamente, no voy a ser yo
quien se esconda de lo que siente, no voy a ser yo
No voy a pisar el freno, no voy a ser yo
el que se ande con más o menos, no voy a ser yo
Hay gente que no debería involucrarse
con cosas que luego no pueden manejar.
Yo no veo otra salida, no quiero pasar la vida,
pisando una piedra y volviéndola a pisar...

One from way back. I'm not sure why I didn't post it in the first place...probably because of the huge James Bond advertisement on the building on the right.
Unless you've a handy machete with you on your travels this has to be seen at dawn, empty from the hoards of tourists that arrive soon afterwards. It's a very beautiful space indeed.
