Els Pirineus (o el Pirineu) són un conjunt de serres (és a dir, una serralada) situades al nord de la Península Ibèrica. S'estén des del Mar Mediterrani (cap de Creus) a l'est, fins al mar Cantàbric (golf de Biscaia) a l'oest; al sud hi té la depressió de l'Ebre, i al nord la de la Garona. Ocupa la zona nord de Catalunya, l'Aragó, Navarra i el País Basc i la zona sud del Bearn i la Gascunya, així com la totalitat d'Andorra. La frontera entre França i Espanya també ressegueix aproximadament els Pirineus; el País Basc i Catalunya, als extrems oest i est respectivament, es troben a cavall de la serralada.
Tenen una llargada d'uns 425 km i una amplada que generalment no supera els 100 km.
Els Pirineus reben els següents noms en les llengües dels territoris que ocupen: en català Pirineus; en francès Pyrénées; en espanyol Pirineos; en occità Pirenèus; en aragonès Perinés; en basc Pirinioak.
Segons la mitologia grega, els Pirineus els creà Heracles, en amuntegar pedres per enterrar la princesa Pirena. Segons la geologia, es van formar a l'Era Terciària, amb el plegament alpí.
Alguns dels cims més importants dels Pirineus són, entre d'altres:
L'Aneto (3.403,5 m), a la Ribagorça, el més alt de la serralada.
El pic de Pocets (3.375 m), a la Ribagorça.
El Mont Perdut (3.348,2 m), a l'Aragó.
El Vinhamala (3.298 m), a la Gascunya.
La Pica d'Estats (3.143,1 m), a cavall entre el Pallars Sobirà i el País de Foix, és la muntanya més alta de Catalunya.
El Comapedrosa (2.942 m), la màxima altitud d'Andorra.
El Carlit (2.921 m), a l'Alta Cerdanya.
El Collarada (2.886 m), a l'Aragó.
El Montardo (2.833,8 m), a la Vall d'Aran.
El Canigó (2.784 m), al Conflent.
Els dos cims dels Encantats (2.734,3 i 2.748,1 m), al Pallars Sobirà.
Els clima dels Pirineus és de muntanya, cosa que en fa una illa climàtica caracteritzada per unes precipitacions més elevades i unes temperatures més baixes que els territoris del voltant. Alhora fa de frontera climàtica entre el clima oceànic predominant al seu nord-oest i el clima mediterrani al sud-est (amb matisos continentals al sud).
S'hi dóna una disminució de les precipitacions d'oest a est i de nord a sud, essent les valls pre-pirinenques de l'oest de Catalunya les zones més seques de la serralada (compareu, per exemple, els 636 mm/any d'Adrall amb els més de 1500 als Pirineus Atlàntics). Just a l'extrem est la pluviositat torna augmentar per efecte de la proximitat amb el Mediterrani, que si bé de manera poc freqüent, a vegades genera llevantades.
Aquesta serralada és el bressol d'importants rius: Adur, Garona, Nivelle, Tec, Tet, Aglí i Camini al vessant francès; Bidasoa, Aragó, Gállego, Cinca, Ésera, Segre, Ter, Llobregat, Muga i Fluvià al vessant sud

Los Pirineos, o el Pirineo como prefieren denominar sus habitantes al referirse a una parte o región de éstos (catalán: Pirineus; francés: Pyrénées; gascón: Pirenèus; aragonés: Perinés; euskera: Pirinioak o Auñamendiak), son una cordillera montañosa situada al norte de la Península Ibérica, entre España, Andorra y Francia. Se extiende a lo largo de 415 km desde el mar Mediterráneo (cabo de Creus, golfo de Rosas) al este, hasta el mar Cantábrico (cabo Higuer, golfo de Vizcaya) al oeste. En su parte central tiene una anchura de unos 150 km. En lenguaje corriente la palabra Pirineo se aplica al conjunto de altas sierras fronterizas hispano-francesas. Los Pirineos Centrales o Pirineo central es el área geográfica de la cordillera de los Pirineos que se extiende aproximadamente, según las diferentes obras, entre las cumbres de Somport, en la parte occidental, y el macizo de la Maladeta, en la oriental.
En la ladera norte, en Francia, transcurre por la regiones de Aquitania (Pirineos Atlánticos), Mediodía-Pirineos (Altos Pirineos, Alto Garona y Ariège) y Rosellón (Pirineos Orientales). En la ladera sur, en España, transcurren por Navarra, Aragón (Huesca) y Cataluña (Lérida y Gerona). El pequeño país de Andorra está situado en los Pirineos, entre España y Francia.
Estas montañas albergan picos de más de 3.000 metros de altura como el Aneto (3.404 m), el Posets (3.375 m), el Monte Perdido (3.355 m) y el Vignemale (3.298 m), pequeños glaciares, lagos y circos de origen glaciar, y un gran número de valles y cañones.

you know how much I adore rust, and textury goodness.. i needed some last night.
You ever have a conversation and feel like you just can't get your point across, or its misunderstood or not taken in the context you would like . . hate that.
As i was processing this image I was thinking about that about being exposed,, and about having my layers peeled apart. . Maybe thats why I like rust so, i see the beauty in all the flaws and different aspects.. the image to me represents something a bit beaten and worn but still has some character. I guess thats what im shooting for..
Children Go Where I Send You
Performed by Nina Simone
Children go where I send you,
How shall I send you?
I'm gonna send you one by one,
One for the little biddy baby, was born, born, born in Bethlehem.
Children go where I send you,
How shall I send you?
I'm gonna send you two by two,
Two for Paul and Silas,
One for the little biddy baby, was born, born, born in Bethlehem.
Children go where I send you,
How shall I send you?
I'm gonna send you four by four,
Four for the poor that stood at the door,
Three for the Hebrew children,
Two for Paul and Silas,
One for the little biddy baby, was born, born, born in Bethlehem.
Children go where I send you,
How shall I send you?
I'm gonna send you six by six,
Six for the six that couldn't get fixed,
Five for the gospel preacher,
Four for the poor that stood at the door,
Three for the Hebrew children,
Two for Paul and Silas,
One for the little biddy baby, was born, born, born in Bethlehem.
Children go where I send you,
How shall I send you?
I'm gonna send you eight by eight,
Eight for the eight that stood at the gate,
Seven for the seven came down from heaven,
Six for the six that couldn't get fixed,
Five for the gospel preacher,
Four for the poor that stood at the door,
Three for the Hebrew children,
Two for Paul and Silas,
One for the little biddy baby, one for the little biddy baby,
One for the little biddy baby. He was born, born,......
He was born in Bethlehem.
You were planned for God’s pleasure.
The moment you were born into the world, God was there as an unseen witness, smiling at your birth. He wanted you alive, and your arrival gave him great pleasure. God did not need to create you , but he chose to create you for his own enjoyment. You exist for his benefit, his glory, his purpose, and his delight.
Bringing enjoyment to God, living for his pleasure, is the first purpose of your life. When You fully understand this truth , you will never again have a problem with feeling insignificant. It proves your worth . If you are that important to God, and he consider you valuable enough to keep with him for eternity, what greater significance could you have?You are a child of God, and you bring pleasure to God like nothing else he has ever created. The Bible says, “ Because of his love God already decided that through Jesus Christ he would makes us his children – this was his pleasure and purpose’’
One of the greatest gifts God has given you is the ability to enjoy pleasure. He wired you with five senses and emotions so you can experience it. He wants you to enjoy life, not just endure it. The reason you are able to enjoy pleasure is that God made you in his image.

Las obras de la Fuente de la Cibeles comenzaron en 1780, encargándose de su realización los escultores Francisco Gutiérrez y Roberto Michel, así como el adornista Miguel Ximénez.
Esculpida en mármol de Montesclaros, consiste en un gran pilono circular sobre el que se sitúan unas rocas que hacen de soporte al carro de la diosa, el cual está tirado por dos leones. Sentada en el carro aparece la diosa Cibeles vestida con un fino manto. En la mano derecha sostiene un cetro, símbolo del poder universal, mientras que con la izquierda muestra las llaves de la ciudad.
La mayoría de la obra fue realizada por Francisco Gutiérrez, mientras que Roberto Michel se encargó de realizar los leones y parte del carro, y Miguel Ximénez realizó la ornamentación general.
Por último, a instancias de Juan de Villanueva, Alfonso Giraldo Vergaz completó su ornamentación con las figuras de un dragón y un oso, de cuya cabeza salían dos surtidores de agua potable, y que fueron retirados a mediados del siglo XIX.
Las obras finalizaron en 1792, situándose en un principio a la entrada del Paseo de Recoletos, mirando hacia Neptuno. Allí estuvo Cibeles hasta que en 1895, con motivo de la ordenación de la glorieta de Emilio Castelar, fue trasladada a su emplazamiento actual.
Lamentablemente, a lo largo de su historia, este símbolo de la ciudad de Madrid ha sido objeto de numerosos actos vandálicos que la han ocasionado importantes desperfectos; en 1841 fue robado el cañón de bronce que asomaba por la boca del oso, costando su reparación 1.800 reales. En 1931 fue arrancada su mano izquierda, y posteriormente, durante la Guerra Civil, hubo de protegerla mediante una compleja obra de ingeniería puesto que durante un bombardeo quedó muy dañada en su brazo derecho, nariz, así como en el morro de uno de los leones.
Suconversión en 'musa futbolera' le está ocasionando graves desperfectos, ya que por este motivo, varias veces ha sido mutilada, e incluso teñida de pintura fosforescente.
Este monumento simboliza la presencia de madrileños en otras ciudades hermanas a Madrid. Existe una réplica exacta en Mexico DF.

El Palau del Marqués de Dosaigües és un dels edificis civils d'estil barroc i rococó més significatius de la ciutat de València i seu del Museu de Ceràmica.
La construcció de l'antic edifici del palau es deu a la família Rabassa de Perellós, qui des del 1496 ostentava la baronia de Dosaigües. Segons el plànol de València del Pare Tosca del 1704, es tractava d'una construcció gòtica amb tres cossos disposats al voltant d'un pati amb una torre emmerletada en el cantó nord-est. La façana es coronava amb una galeria correguda.
ESP:
El palacio de los Marqueses de Dos Aguas sito en la calle Rinconada Federico García Sanchiz de la ciudad de València, es producto de una radical reforma llevada a cabo sobre la antigua casa solariega de los Rabassa de Perellós, titulares del marquesado de Dos Aguas, en la década de 1740 en un acusado estilo rococó.
De planta cuadrangular irregular, organizado en torno a un patio y con torres en las esquinas, sus fachadas se alzan con planta baja y dos alturas, y en un lateral se abre la puerta principal, realizada en alabastro por Ignacio Vergara sobre diseño de Hipólito Rovira. Presidida por la imagen de la Virgen, desde ella descienden dos caudales de agua en alusión al título de los marqueses, con dos atlantes a los lados que simbolizan dos ríos, todo con aspecto de desbordante voluptuosidad.
En esa época toda la fachada estaba decorada con frescos de Rovira, pero en 1867 el palacio sufrió una nueva remodelación, y en ella desaparecieron las pinturas, que estaban en mal estado por la humedad, siendo sustituidas por estucos en tonos grises y rosas imitando mármoles, y además se realizaron también los balcones de sabor francés, con barandillas ondulantes.
En su interior aún podemos observar hoy las carrozas del siglo XVIII y los salones decimonónicos con su decoración original, recientemente restaurada, mientras que la segunda planta acoge el Museo Nacional de Cerámica González Martí, con una importante colección de piezas desde la Antigüedad a los más modernos diseños.

ENGLISH
Espresso or caffè espresso is a concentrated coffee beverage brewed by forcing very hot, but not boiling water under high pressure through coffee that has been ground to a consistency between extremely fine and powder.
Espresso was developed in Milan, Italy in the early 20th century, but up until the mid-1940s it was a beverage produced solely with steam pressure. The invention of the spring piston lever machine and its subsequent commercial success changed espresso into the beverage we know today. Espresso is now produced with between 8.2 and 18 atmospheres or bars (0.82 to 1.8 megapascals; 120 to 265 PSI) of pressure.
The defining characteristics of espresso include a thicker consistency than drip coffee, a higher amount of dissolved solids than drip coffee per relative volume, and a serving size that is usually measured in shots, which are between 25 and 30 ml (30ml=1 fluid ounce) in size. Espresso is chemically complex and volatile, with many of its chemical components quickly degrading from oxidation or loss of temperature. Properly brewed espresso has three major parts: the heart, body, and the most distinguishing factor, the presence of crema, a reddish-brown foam that floats on the surface of the espresso. It is composed of vegetable oils, proteins and sugars. Crema has elements of both emulsion and foam colloid.
As a result of the high-pressure brewing process, all of the flavors and chemicals in a typical cup of coffee are concentrated. Because of its intense and high concentration of ingredients (including caffeine), espresso lends itself to mixing into other coffee based drinks, such as lattes, cappuccini, macchiato and mochas, without being diluted in the resulting drink.

Fair trade is an organized social movement and market-based approach to alleviating global poverty and promoting sustainability. The movement advocates the payment of a fair price as well as social and environmental standards in areas related to the production of a wide variety of goods. It focuses in particular on exports from developing countries to developed countries, most notably handicrafts, coffee, cocoa, sugar, tea, bananas, honey, cotton, wine, fresh fruit, and so on.
Fair trade's strategic intent is to deliberately work with marginalised producers and workers in order to help them move from a position of vulnerability to security and economic self-sufficiency. It also aims at empowering them to become stakeholders in their own organizations and actively play a wider role in the global arena to achieve greater equity in international trade.

El café expreso (también café espresso o café exprés) es un tipo de preparación del café. Debe su término a la obtención de esta bebida a través de una cafetera expreso. Se caracteriza por su rápida preparación y por su sabor más concentrado. A juicio de expertos representa la mejor forma de preparar un café.
Para la obtención de un café expreso, se hace pasar agua a alta presión (entre 5 y 10 Bar, dependiendo de la máquina) a través del café. Para que el agua atraviese el café extrayendo todo su sabor y aroma, es necesario que el molido se haga muy fino.

Consumo responsable es un concepto defendido por organizaciones ecológicas, sociales y políticas que consideran que los seres humanos harían bien en cambiar sus hábitos de consumo ajustándolos a sus necesidades reales y optando en el mercado por opciones que favorezcan la conservación del medio ambiente y la igualdad social. Entre las citadas organizaciones se encuentran Ecologistas en acción, algunos partidos verdes y en especial aquéllas organizaciónes e individuos que propugnan una Ecología social.
Se esgrime que el acto de consumir no sólamente es la satisfacción de una necesidad, sino que implica colaborar en los procesos económicos, medioambientales y sociales que posibilitan el bien o producto consumido. Por ello se postula que deberían tenerse en cuenta en el momento de elegir entre las opciones disponibles en el mercado las que menos repercusiones negativas tengan.

I took the title from this 1937 Pullman poster.
This 1912 Pullman private car was custom-built in Chicago for Clara Baldwin Stocker, the eldest daughter of Elias “Lucky” Baldwin (link). It has been completely restored to its 1912 condition, and is on display at The Nethercutt Collection (link) in Sylmar, CA. Two great things about The Nethercutt Collection: 1. It has hundreds of beautifully restored antique and classic cars, musical instruments, this Pullman car, and a 1937 Canadian Royal locomotive. 2. Entrance is 100% free.
If you're in the Los Angeles/San Fernando Valley area, it's definitely worth a visit.

I know it's not polite to toot your own horn, but holy hell do I ever love the way today's shots turned out! I was totally inspired by this shot, and knew I wanted to do my own version with blues instead of pinks. Of course, in post processing I wound up falling in love with this shot, which is decidedly more muted. Whatever. Don't you just love those days where shoots go even better than expected and you totally feel like you rocked it out? This is one of those days for me. So let me enjoy it!! Ha!
That said, there were a bunch of outtakes that I really liked too, so I'm posting them in the comments. Let me know what you think of them. And as a side note, when I started my self portrait 365 project, I wasn't sure I could handle it. I mean, I'm self conscious of the way I look and usually hate pictures of me. So how was I going to do a whole year of it, right? But what I've discovered in the course of doing these daily self portraits, is that I love the way I can totally transform my look for different shots. Wigs, makeup, angles, processing...it's become this total obsession of mine. I love making myself look like somebody else, while still retaining the bits of me that I love. This shot is such a good example of that.
Ok, I'll stop rambling about how much I love these shots. Ha. If you read this far, you must really like me a lot! ;)

I was in Driggs, Idaho and we were on our way to have dinner. I saw this squall develop and pulled off the road to capture the event. In my large original, there are several sun rays in the left portion of the sky but most do not show up in this smaller image.
James Neeley and I were meeting Rodney Lough www.rodneyloughjr.com/ a professional photographer who was shooting in the area. Rodney shoots with an 8 x 10 film camera and with that equipment is not able to capture such a fleeting event as this little squall. There are advantages to shooting with a DSLR camera ;>)
When I saw this squall develop with the clouds and sun rays, I tried to design my shot so that it was more than just a record of the event. I walked a bit to my left so I could frame the squall and light show and also add some secondary compositional elements, the crossed fence and the fence disappearing into the image, that would make the image more interesting. You can see how the fence line on the right leads the viewers attention right to the spot-lighted squall. The cross fence fills an otherwise empty space in the foreground. As one becomes a better and more experienced photographer, this comes naturally, always looking for the best composition.

Some cold, hard facts:
• 17 babies die every day in the UK (10 are stillbirths, 7 are neonatal deaths) totalling almost 6,500 baby deaths a year - the equivalent of 16 jumbo jets crashing every year with no survivors
• This is four times the number of people who die every year of MRSA
• This is double the number of adults who lose their lives on Britain’s roads every year
• Ten times more babies are stillborn than die of cot death every year in the UK.
• The stillbirth rate has remained almost unchanged for the past 10 years. (CEMACH)
• 1 in every 200 babies are stillborn in the UK
• 1 in every 300 babies born in the UK die in the first four weeks of life
• In half of all stillbirths the cause remains unexplained, although in more than half of these pregnancies the baby is smaller than it should be
• Many of these babies are born perfectly formed, with no clear reason why they died. We need to understand what is causing these deaths and take action to prevent avoidable losses
• The majority of unexplained stillbirths are in pregnancies that were previously considered low risk
Sands is the UK’s Stillbirth and Neonatal Death charity, an organisation which offers support to everyone affected by the death of a baby during pregnancy or after birth.
Sands’ core aims are to:
• Support anyone affected by the death of a baby;
• To work in partnership with health professionals to improve the quality of care and services offered to bereaved families; and
• To promote research and changes in practice that could help to reduce the loss of babies' lives
The death of a baby is a devastating experience. The effects of grief can be overwhelming and parents, their families and friends can be left feeling dazed, disorientated, isolated and exhausted.
The death of a baby can happen to any one of us. It has happened to too many of us.
What brings people together through Sands is the common experience of this painful loss.
June is the national awareness month; with this photograph I hope to do something to raise awareness of the work of this charity. What can you do?
El castillo de Montbui ya consta como organizado en el año 936. El conde Borrell II lo cedió al obispo Ató de Vic en el año 970. Las primeras noticias de la iglesia datan de los años 972 y 993, cuando el obispo Fruià levantó, en la cumbre del Montbui, un nuevo castillo y una iglesia, pero esta quedó inacabada a causa de una fuerte sequía que obliga a emigrar a los repobladores de la comarca. En el año 1023 el obispo Oliba enfeudó la fortaleza al levita Guillem de Oló, que repobló definitivamente el término, restauró el castillo y acabó la iglesia. La iglesia es un edificio construido a finales del siglo X e inicios del XI. Es de planta basilical de tres naves, cabeceadas por ábsides semicirculares, cubiertos con bóvedas de cuarto de esfera. El perímetro de la iglesia se ensancha hacia la cabecera y únicamente es roto por unos contrafuertes ataludados y una capilla moderna. Los ábsides llevan decoración lombarda con arquerías entre lesenas. Las naves laterales quedan separadas por dos series de seis arcadas de donde arrancan las vueltas que las cubren. Los dos primeros tramos, seguramente corresponden a la iglesia más antigua, anterior al 990 y quizás nunca acabada. Estas dos primeras arcadas apoyan sobre pilares cuadrangulares, las restantes, hacia la cabecera, reposan sobre columnas cortas y gruesas. Las vueltas de las naves son irregulares, ya que a lo largo de su recorrido adoptan diferentes perfiles, pasando por un arco de medio punto, hasta convertirse en un arco ultrapasado o de ligera herradura. El muro oeste es coronado por un campanario de pared de dos aperturas que se erigió posteriormente. Debajo hay una ventana en forma de cruz. La puerta de acceso, abierta al muro sur, corresponde a un remodelaje posterior, seguramente del siglo XVI. En el interior se conserva una sencilla pila bautismal y otra pieza utilizada como pila benditera. Muy cerca se conservan los restos del castillo del siglo X. De planta rectangular con los ángulos redondeados. El interior bastante modificado, se organiza a partir de una planta baja, desdoblada en un recibidor y una sala cubierta con bóveda de medio punto. La planta superior solo conserva los muros. La puerta de entrada original se encuentra más arriba, a nivel del primer piso, a modo de ventanal.
The castle has already Montbui as organized in 936. Count Borrell II Atomic traded him to the bishop of Vic in the year 970. The first news of the church dating from 972 and 993, when Bishop frui up, Montbui on top of a new castle and a church, but this remained unfinished because of a severe drought that forced the settlers to emigrate of the region. In 1023 the bishop Oliba feuded strength to coat Guillem de Olo, who repopulated the term finally, restored the castle and the church ended. The church is a building built in the late tenth century and the beginning of XI. It has a basilica with three naves, apses doze by semicircular arches covered with quarter-sphere. The perimeter of the church widens toward the top and is only broken by buttresses ataludados and a modern chapel. The apses are decorated with arches between lesen Lombard. The aisles are separated by two series of six arches where they dig up the laps that cover. The first two installments, probably corresponding to the oldest church, before the 990 and perhaps never finished. These first two arches resting on square pillars, the other, toward the head, resting on short columns and thick. The turns of the vessels are irregular, because along its course take different profiles, to a semicircular arch, into an arc or slightly surpassed horseshoe. The west wall is topped by a tower wall was erected two starts later. Below is a cross-shaped window. The access door is open to the south wall, represents a later remodeling, probably sixteenth century. In Inside is a simple font and another room used as benditera stack. Nearby is the remains of the castle of the tenth century The rectangular with rounded corners. The much modified inside, is organized from the ground floor, split into a reception room and a roof deck with a half-point. The upper floor retains only the walls. The original entrance is located above the first floor level, as a window.
Looks great viewed LARGE!

I've been stuck without a camera for a while but Olympus have kindly loaned me a camera so back up and shooting now whilst mine is being repaired.
So, I've been going through some old pictures and went back to my most popular image (in terms of views and comments) and retouched it a bit further (with some motion blur added in).
The story behind this shot is quite amusing...
This was the first time I'd been to the press coference at the Cage Gladiators and I'd got a small set up going in a side room from the film cameras. I saw Stefan Struve and immediately saw how much he stood out - he's 6'8 and his nickname is 'The Skyscraper'.
I did a couple of standard poses and asked Stefan to do an angry face - this is what I got! He posed perfectly and I was lucky to get a good shot of him.
Then I heard someone shouting me to stop and it was his manager, Dirty Bob, (an ex member of the Dutch Hells Angels). Thankfully I managed to have a chat with him and carried on with the rest of the press conference.
For UK TV viewers, the guy who promotes the fights is currently appearing on Million Dollar Traders on BBC 2 on Monday evenings .

From The CSIRO website
The Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), at the Paul Wild Observatory, is an array of six 22-m antennas used for radio astronomy. It is located about 25 km west of the town of Narrabri in rural NSW (about 500 km north-west of Sydney). It is operated by CSIRO's Astronomy and Space Science division...
The "Compact Array'' is the premier instrument of its kind in the southern hemisphere. It operates 365-days per year, 24-hours per day. Its business is pure science. It is not used for any military activities.
This antennas work together using a technique called "interferometry'' which allows the antennas to mimic a much larger antenna. This gives the telescope the ability to see very fine detail. Effectively "radio interferometry'' works by replacing the lens of a conventional imaging system with sophisticated electronics, supercomputer-like hardware and complex software. Using this technique, a image of a small section of the sky can be formed in a 12-hour period. Whereas the Array uses six antennas spread over 6km, the same interferometry principles can be applied to antennas spread over a continent. For example, several times a year, the Array is used together with other radio telescopes spread across Australia (such as the Parkes antenna) to make images with extremely fine detail.
Title suggestions welcomed. BTW, the hen is fast asleep here.
The garden furniture is not getting a lot of use at the moment and could do with its annual lick of paint, and don't mention the lawn!! Currently taking very few photos these days, hoping to get back into it soon though.
Our chickens (Columbian Black-Tails) free-range about the house and are very much part of the family. This was taken recently from the living room window, through glass, on a dull and cloudy day. We were all feeling a bit whacked I guess.
Shot was processed in colour via ACR. In PS, I duplicated the background layer and used Hue/Saturation set to Colourize to generate a Blue tint. This layer was then pulled back to 30% Opacity and the colour 'popped' using the Erase Tool to reveal the hen on the background layer.

Beat Up Ford
By Jack Ingram
A young man drivin' down a dusty road
Like he's got somewhere to go
Driving like he's got a destination
Like he's got somewhere to go in that beat up ford
See there was a time when he was a young lost soul
He was chasin' butterflies and rainbows
Until one day when he found his pot of gold
In the words on the young man he turned old
And the old man said
Chorus
You gotta have a good imagination
If your gonna live the life of old
He said you've got to drive that Ford like its a stallion
And you've got to wear your heart just like a gun
The old man said, the old man said
The boy walked out with a new found hero
Yea the boy well he walked away a man
And he said to himself that dusty day way down in Texas
Well I'm never gonna walk this path again
And the old man said
Chorus
You gotta have a good imagination
If your gonna live the life of old
He said you've got to drive that Ford like its a stallion
And you've got to wear your heart just like a gun
The old man said, the old man said
The boys walked out he was dreaming of wild times
With old cowboys and broke down cattle lines
Now those fields are all but gone
But his hearts still free and he rides on
The old man said, the old man said, the old man said, the old man said
A young man drivin' down a dusty road
Like he's got somewhere to go
Driving like he's got a destination
Like he's got somewhere to go in that beat up ford
Thanks to Pareeerica for the use of your textures.
Using Bo's Tutorial for 1.1.0, I've managed to setup up the MakeHuman male model I made, along with the clothing all attached, to work in the Opensim grid Haven Your World.
Since I'm not looking to get nude with him any time soon and just want a decent avatar to use in Opensim for wandering around, uploading body and clothing together works perfectly for what I intend to do. Plus, if I want to change his outfit, I can make different textures, or make different outfits in MakeHuman, and all that needs to be done in Opensim is switch out to that different model or modify the mesh model with the different textures. It's not really all that much more work than running around to find all sorts of clothing options on the grid or any marketplace it might be connected with, or even searching the various materials online for the default Opensim avatar. Plus, unlike SL, uploading mesh, textures, etc. onto Haven Your World, as well as most Opensim grids, is free.
I can make a model for switching clothing if I wanted to, especially if we had more MakeHuman rigged clothing options in world. However, I'm not sure how you'd do that, since MakeHuman mesh avatar models are not standardized. For instance, if I tried SL/Opensim mesh clothing that's set for the SL/Opensim standard mesh, it doesn't work. I know that many common SL mesh avatar creators work around the issue that even they have using their non-SL standard rigs by using a body hud with alpha options to hide the parts that would otherwise peak out from the mesh clothing. There's likely a way to do it with MakeHuman, of which I'd gather would have to do with use of Avastar somewhere in the workflow. Beyond that, well, it's beyond my knowledge and abilities as of yet.
For now, until I can learn a better way, I'm keeping it simple by using Bo's tutorial, which works well enough for me. ;)

Supporters of the PPP at a popular rally in Nasirabad, in the suburbs of Rawalpindi on Jan.4, 2008. At some point, people (incl. children) were praying for Benazir Bhutto, a scene that I've seen repeatedly at every gathering. As in many other aspects of life in Pakistan, it seems that politics and religion are closely intricated.

Part of Pakistani Elections (Recommended as a slideshow)
I've had a mountain of work to get through the past few days and still have but thought I would post some college stuff. My little sister (17 years old) who I trailed into the studio as part of my Editorial project. This week has been a busy and erm very interesting week to say the least. I collected my Mac on Monday yipee only to discover on my return to the car that I had parked nicely in the car park had indeed mounted the kerb and on reversingI ripped the bumper and fog light off ............oops!!!
I also learnt that this photo landed the lovely Dave a shoot in London with Diesel!
Oh and I know Man United just one the Champions League but holly molly why do men have to get so excited about a bunch of blokes running about in white shorts?.............I mean it's not as though they are tight shorts is it? ;-)
www.algarvewildlife.com/habitats-woodlands.php
The best type of woodland for the wildlife enthusiast is undoubtedly one of mixed oak and pine, and there are still some good examples of this type of habitat dotted around the Algarve. If the oaks are Cork Oak, the woodland may be managed from time to time when the trees are being stripped of their valuable bark, but the ground is not treated with the herbicides and pesticides which are the scourge of so much of our landscape in northern Europe, and so many native plants are able to survive the management routine and continue to thrive there.
There are some excellent examples of this type of wildlife-rich woodland up towards and around the Monchique area, and also out towards the western Algarve between Vila do Bispo and Odeceixe. It is normally quite easy to access these areas, and unless land is fenced off or clearly being cultivated, it is usually perfectly acceptable to wander through the woods and you are unlikely to be challenged.
In April and May the woodlands are alive with the sound of Cuckoos, and numerous woodpeckers hammer away at the tree trunks in search of the bugs that live there. Other woodland birds include tits, including the Crested Tit, Azure-winged Magpies (which are increasing greatly in number in the Algarve) and warblers. In summer Nightingales can be heard in the woods too.
If not too intensively managed, the understory of many of these lightly wooded areas include cistus species and Strawberry Trees (Arbutus unedo), along with various types of heathers such as white-flowered Portuguese Heath (Erica lusitanica) and pink-flowered Erica multiflora which are both magnificent and covered in blossom in early spring. These woodlands are also filled with early-flowering bulbs which include the lovely Romulea bulbicodium, both One-leaved Squill (Scilla monophyllos) and Two-leaved Squill (Scilla bifolia), Spanish Iris (Iris Xiphium) and, in a few places, the Spanish Bluebell (Hyacynthoides hispanicus).
The most common wild orchid species to be found in this habitat is the Broad-leaved Helleborine (Epipactis helleborine), although they can be difficult to spot in the dappled light of the woods. On the edges of the woodland various tongue orchids flower, and they include Long-lipped (Ploughshare) Tongue Orchid (Serapias vomeracea), Small-flowered Tongue Orchid (Serapias parviflora) as well as the magnificent Heart-flowered Tongue Orchid (Serapias cordigera) with its large, blood-red flowers. An exciting find in this type of woodland is the rare orchid Violet Limodore (Limodorum abortivum). The stems of this plant are a striking dark purple as they emerge from the ground in the form of spears, and the flowers (if they open) are also violet. The Latin name of the plant is an indication of the fact that the flowers don't always open, even though the inflorescences may appear above the ground and look as if full flowering is imminent for several weeks. It appears that this flower is capable of self-pollination within the bud in years when the flowers don't actually open.
If the woodland has a stream it can be a good place to observe many insects but especially dragonflies. The Golden-ringed Dragonfly (Cordulegaster boltonii) particularly likes these slight acidic woodland streams for breeding.
in the area would be ideal.

CHI SONO ?
SONO DUE UOMINI CHE LOTTANO CON LA SLA ED E' PER QUESTO CHE AMANO LA VITA E CON IL LORO AMORE PER LA VITA CI DICONO CHE NON VA BUTTATA NE' DISPREZZATA.
NON VI DICO DI PIU', MA VI DO TUTTI I LINK PER COLLEGARVI CON QUESTI AMICI PER CONOSCERE LA LORO ESPERIENZA SIA ATTRAVERSO FOTO CHE SCRITTI E CANZONI.
NATURALMENTE QUESTA VOLTA NON ANDRO' A SCOMODARE CANTANTI PIU' O MENO FAMOSI MA VI FARO' SENTIRE UNA CANZONE SCRITTA E CANTATA DA GIANLUCA FANTELLI CHE VI FARA' MEDITARE.
IO VIVO......IO vivrò
Cosa mi manca per essere felice .
Posso camminare
anche se ho qualche cicatrice.
Posso respirare, ballare, cantare una canzone.
Posso stare in piedi per ore.
Cosa mi manca me lo si legge in faccia
eppure posso fare tutto.
Posso muovere le braccia.
Posso raccontare di posti bellissimi e lontani.
E toccarmi i piedi .....
E toccarmi i piedi con le mani.
Io vivo, io vivo.
Io vivo, io vivrò
Qualcuno che usa la testa
come fosse all'asilo
e non vuole comprendere
che siamo davvero ...
appesi tutti ad un filo
E gente che butta la vita...
che continua a rovinarsi
ma come si fa a non capire
che quello che abbiamo non è roba normale.
Tenetevi stretti gli affetti
Parlatevi e ditevi tutto
Soprattutto prendete il tempo
per dare ragione
e spendete le parole ...
e ascoltate....
e abbracciatevi forte
Perchè questo è il momento..
Perchè dopo potrebbe non esservi tempo
E a volte ti guardo e ti sento morire.
perchè penso a quando
non sarò in grado di dirti a parole
che ho nel cuore l'amore del mondo.
E adesso non so come fare
e, al solo pensiero, mi sento uno straccio.
mi sembra incredibile,
ma sarà impossibile, tenerti in braccio.
Allora mi fermo a guardarti...
e c'è il tuo sorriso
Lo so che diranno che è roba banale
Ma è così che deve essere il Paradiso.
E' forse per questo che aspetto
e resto qui sulla soglia
perchè c'è un motivo più grande
per cui sono vivo....
e sei tu .... mia figlia.

Real HDR 101
After the pseudo HDR restoration treatment on my previous post , I thought it's about time to get my hands dirty on some real HDR, for a change. With a tripod in the back of my ride I drove to a place nearby and started fiddling around with the automatic exposure bracketing settings of my camera. With a 4-stop range across three exposures (-2 Ev, +/-0 Ev and +2 Ev) I finally hit the shutter in aperture priority mode.
The HDR approuch
With the help of Photomatrix I was able to combine my differently exposed RAW files into one HDR image. With the Tone Mapping tool applied throughout the image I was able to visually reveal its higher dynamic range.
Final touchups
In PS the copper hues throughout the scene was created by different Hue/Saturation layers on top of the 32-bit HDR representation. Locally I painted in or out from the accompanying masks to enhance the color-contrast of different parts in the sky. As a final touch up I used a contrast adjustment layer with a value of 10 for a tiny bit of extra eye popping awe, which I very like in here. Selective sharpening was done with a high-pass layer in overlay mode with a value of just below 0.8 pixels in the High Pass filter settings dialog. Irrelevant sharpened parts - such as noise - were painted out from its layer mask afterwards, to enhance the edges of the trees throughout. Personally I am quite satisfied with the results right now and I hope you folks will like it too.
Was it fun?
Yes. I must admit that visually less treatment - thus time - was needed to achieve better result compared to conventional techniques I am using for over a decade. Within approximately one hour - without noticeable loss of detail - I am quite content with the end results.
Location: At the borders of Holland and Germany nearby the North-Eastern region of the province of Groningen.

Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi
Following, a text, in english, from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi or "Fountain of the Four Rivers" is a fountain in Rome, Italy, located in the Piazza Navona. Designed by Gianlorenzo Bernini, it is emblematic of the dynamic and dramatic effects sought by High Baroque artists. It was erected in 1651 in front of the church of Sant'Agnese in Agone, and yards from the Pamphilj Palace belonging to this fountain's patron, Innocent X (1644-1655).
The four gods on the corners of the fountain represent the four major rivers of the world known at the time: the Nile, Danube, Ganges, and Plate. The design of each god figure has symbolic importance.
Design
Bernini's design was selected in competition. The circumstances of his victory are described as follows:
So strong was the sinister influence of the rivals of Bernini on the mind of Innocent that when he planned to set up in Piazza Navona the great obelisk brought to Rome by the Emperor Caracalla, which had been buried for a long time at Capo di Bove for the adornment of a magnificent fountain, the Pope had designs made by the leading architects of Rome without an order for one to Bernini. Prince Niccolò Ludovisi, whose wife was niece to the pope, persuaded Bernini to prepare a model, and arrange for it to be secretly installed in a room in the Palazzo Pamphili that the Pope had to pass. When the meal was finished, seeing such a noble creation, he stopped almost in ecstasy. Being prince of the keenest judgment and the loftiest ideas, after admiring it, said: “This is a trick … It will be necessary to employ Bernini in spite of those who do not wish it, for he who desires not to use Bernini’s designs, must take care not to see them.”
Paraphrase from Filippo Baldinucci, The life of Cavaliere Bernini (1682)
Public fountains in Rome served multiple purposes: first, they were highly needed sources of water for neighbors in the centuries prior to home plumbing. Second, they were monuments to the papal patrons. Earlier Bernini fountains had been the Fountain of the Triton in Piazza Barberini, the fountain of the Moor in the southern end of Piazza Navona erected during the Barberini papacy, and the Neptune and Triton for Villa Montalto, whose statuary now resides at Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
Each has animals and plants that further carry forth the identification, and each carries a certain number of allegories and metaphors with it. The Ganges carries a long oar, representing the river's navigability. The Nile's head is draped with a loose piece of cloth, meaning that no one at that time knew exactly where the Nile's source was. The Danube touches the Papal coat of arms, since it is the large river closest to Rome. And the Río de la Plata is sitting on a pile of coins, a symbol of the riches America could offer to Europe (the word plata means silver in Spanish). Also, the Río de la Plata looks scared by a snake, showing rich men's fear that their money could be stolen. Each is a river god, semi-prostrate, in awe of the central tower, epitomized by the slender Egyptian obelisk (built for the Roman Serapeum in AD 81), symbolizing by Papal power surmounted by the Pamphili symbol (dove). In addition, the fountain is a theater in the round, a spectacle of action, that can be strolled around. Water flows and splashes from a jagged and pierced mountainous disorder of travertine marble. A legend, common with tour-guides, is that Bernini positioned the cowering Rio de la Plata River as if the sculpture was fearing the facade of the church of Sant'Agnese by his rival Borromini could crumble against him; in fact, the fountain was completed several years before Borromini began work on the church.
The dynamic fusion of architecture and sculpture made this fountain revolutionary when compared to prior Roman projects, such as the stilted designs Acqua Felice and Paola by Fontana in Piazza San Bernardo (1585-87) or the customary embellished geometric floral-shaped basin below a jet of water such as the Fontanina in Piazza Campitelli (1589) by Giacomo della Porta.
Unveiling
he Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi was unveiled to the populace of Rome on 12 June 1651. According to a report from the time, an event was organised to draw people to the Piazza Navona. Beforehand, wooden scaffolding, overlaid with curtains, had hidden the fountain, though probably not the obelisk, which would have given people an idea that something was being built, but the precise details were unknown. Once unveiled, the full majesty of the fountain would be apparent, which the celebrations were designed to advertise. The festival was paid for by the Pamphili family, to be specific, Innocent X, who had sponsored the erection of the fountain. The most conspicuous item on the Pamphili crest, an olive branch, was brandished by the performers who took part in the event.
The author of the report, Antonio Bernal, takes his readers through the hours leading up to the unveiling. The celebrations were announced by a woman, dressed as the allegorical character of Fame, being paraded around the streets of Rome on a carriage or float. She was sumptuously dressed, with wings attached to her back and a long trumpet in her hand. Bernal notes that "she went gracefully through all the streets and all the districts that are found among the seven hills of Rome, often blowing the round bronze [the trumpet], and urging everyone to make their way to that famous Piazza." A second carriage followed her; this time another woman was dressed as the allegorical figure of Curiosity. According to the report, she continued exhorting the people to go towards the piazza. Bernal describes the clamour and noise of the people as they discussed the upcoming event.
The report is actually less detailed about the process of publicly unveiling the fountain. However, it does give ample descriptions of the responses of the spectators who had gathered in the Piazza. Once there, Bernal notes, the citizens of the city were overwhelmed by the massive fountain, with its huge life-like figures. The report mentions the "enraptured souls" of the population, the fountain, which "gushes out a wealth of silvery treasures" causing "no little wonder" in the onlookers. Bernal then continues to describe the fountain, making continuous reference to the seeming naturalism of the figures and its astonishing effect on those in the piazza.
The making of the fountain was met by opposition by the people of Rome for several reasons. First, Innocent X had the fountain built at public expense during the intense famine of 1646-48. Throughout the construction of the fountain, the city murmurred and talk of riot was in the air. Pasquinade writers protested the construction of the fountain in September 1648 by attaching hand-written invectives on the stone blocks used to make the obelisk. These pasquinades read, "We do not want Obelisks and Fountains, It is bread that we want. Bread, Bread, Bread!" Innocent quickly had the authors arrested, and disguised spies patrol the Pasquino statue and Piazza Navona
The streetvendors of the market also opposed the construction of the fountain, as Innocent X expelled them from the piazza. The Pamphilij pope believed they detracted from the magnificence of the square. The vendors refused to move, and the papal police had to chase them from the piazza. Roman Jews, in particular, lamented the closing of the Navona, since they were allowed to sell used articles of clothing there at the Wednesday market.
Navona Square (Piazza Navona).
Following, a text, in english, from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Piazza Navona is a city square in Rome, Italy. It is built on the site of the Stadium of Domitian, built in first century AD, and follows the form of the open space of the stadium.[1] The ancient Romans came there to watch the agones ("games"), and hence it was known as 'Circus Agonalis' (competition arena). It is believed that over time the name changed to 'in agone' to 'navone' and eventually to 'navona'.
Defined as a public space in the last years of 15th century, when the city market was transferred to it from the Campidoglio, the Piazza Navona is a significant example of Baroque Roman architecture and art. It features sculptural and architectural creations: in the center stands the famous Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi or Fountain of the Four Rivers (1651) by Gian Lorenzo Bernini; the church of Sant'Agnese in Agone by Francesco Borromini and Girolamo Rainaldi; and the Pamphilj palace also by Rainaldi and which features the gallery frescoed by Pietro da Cortona.
The Piazza Navona has two additional fountains: at the southern end is the Fontana del Moro with a basin and four Tritons sculpted by Giacomo della Porta (1575) to which, in 1673, Bernini added a statue of a Moor, or African, wrestling with a dolphin, and at the northern end is the Fountain of Neptune (1574) created by Giacomo della Porta. The statue of Neptune in the northern fountain, the work of Antonio Della Bitta, was added in 1878 to make that fountain more symmetrical with La Fontana del Moro in the south.
At the southwest end of the piazza is the ancient 'speaking' statue of Pasquino. Erected in 1501, Romans could leave lampoons or derogatory social commentary attached to the statue.
During its history, the piazza has hosted theatrical events and other ephemeral activities. From 1652 until 1866, when the festival was suppressed, it was flooded on every Saturday and Sunday in August in elaborate celebrations of the Pamphilj family. The pavement level was raised in the 19th century and the market was moved again in 1869 to the nearby Campo de' Fiori. A Christmas market is held in the piazza.
Other monuments on the Piazza Navona are:
Stabilimenti Spagnoli
Palazzo de Cupis
Palazzo Torres Massimo Lancellotti
Church of Nostra Signora del Sacro Cuore
Palazzo Braschi (Museo di Roma)
Sant'Agnese in Agone
Literature and films
The piazza is featured in Dan Brown's 2000 thriller Angels and Demons, in which the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi "The Fountain of the four rivers"(the Danube, the Gange, the Nile and the River Plate) is listed as one of the Altars of Science. During June 2008, Ron Howard directed several scenes of the film adaptation of Angels and Demons on the southern section of the Piazza Navona, featuring Tom Hanks.
The piazza is featured in several scenes of director Mike Nichols' 1970 adaptation of Joseph Heller's novel, Catch-22.
The Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi was used in the 1990 film Coins in the Fountain. The characters threw coins into the fountain as they made wishes. The Trevi Fountain was used in the 1954 version of the film.
A Fontana Dei Quattro Fiumi, é maior das três fontes, localizada no centro da praça. Na fonte dos rios, Bernini projetou quatro estátuas representando os rios dos quatro continentes: o Nilo, o Danúbio, o rio da Prata e o Ganges. As estátuas estão montadas sobre um obelisco egípcio, sendo circundadas por leões e outros animais fantásticos, tendo no cume uma pomba em bronze, símbolo da paz no mundo e da família Pamphili. Para realçar a rivalidade entre Bernini e Borromini, que fez a igreja de Santa Agnese, os romanos criaram uma lenda em torno da fonte dos rios, que fica em frente a esta igreja. Segundo os romanos, as estátuas duvidam da solidez do projeto de Borromini. A que retrata o rio da Prata, tem a mão erguida, a proteger o corpo do desabamento da igreja; a que retrata o Nilo, traz a cabeça coberta por um véu, a recusar a ver a obra de Borromini.
A seguir um texto, em português, da Wikipédia a Enciclopédia Livre:
Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi
Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fonte dos Quatro Rios), foi esculpida por Gian Lorenzo Bernini entre 1648 e 1651, artista do barroco italiano, foi concebida por uma ordem do Papa Inocencio X o Papa da familia Pamphili, cujo tinha sua casa nesta praça.
Esta localizada na Praça de Navona, em Roma. Ela representa os quatro principais continentes do mundo cortados por seus principais rios: Rio Nilo, na África; Rio Ganges, na Ásia, Rio da Prata, na América e o Rio Danúbio, na Europa.
A seguir, texto em português do site Wiki lingue:
A escultura da Fonte dos Quatro Rios, encontra-se na Piazza Navona de Roma (Itália) e foi criada e talhada pelo escultor e pintor Gian Lorenzo Bernini em 1651 baixo o papado de Inocencio X, em plena época barroca, durante o período mais prolífico do genial artista e cerca da que em outro tempo fué a Chiesa dei San Giacomo de gli Spagnoli
A fonte compõe-se de uma base formada de uma grande piscina elíptica, coroada em seu centro de uma grande mole de mármol, sobre a qual se eleva um obelisco egípcio de época romana, o obelisco de Domiciano .
As estátuas que compõem a fonte, têm umas dimensões maiores que na realidade e são alegorias dos quatro rios principais da Terra (Nilo, Ganges, Danubio, Rio da Prata), a cada um deles em um dos continentes conhecidos na época. Na fonte a cada um destes rios está representado por um gigante de mármol .
As árvores e as plantas que emergem da água e que se encontram entre as rochas, também estão em uma escala maior que na realidade. Os animais e vegetales, gerados de uma natureza boa e útil, pertencem a espécies grandes e potentes (como o leão, cavalo, cocodrilo, serpente, dragão, etc.). O espectador, girando em torno da fonte, descobre novas formas que dantes estavam escondidas ou cobertas pela massa rocosa. Com esta obra, Bernini quer suscitar admiração em quem olha-a, criando um pequeno universo em movimento a imitação do espaço da realidade natural.
A fonte foi submetida a restauração, um trabalho que se deu por concluído em dezembro de 2008. Constitui um dos palcos finque da novela e o filme Anjos e Demónios, à qual é arrojado um dos cardeais sequestrados, e Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) se lança à água para lhe salvar.
Os animais da fonte
A fonte apresenta figuras de sete animais, além de uma pequena pomba e o emblema dos Pamphili. Para poder observá-las basta com dar uma volta ao redor da fonte. As figuras são: um cavalo, uma serpente de terra (na parte mais alta, cerca do obelisco), uma serpente de mar, um delfín (que funciona também como desagüe), um cocodrilo, um leão e um dragão. Notar também a vegetación esculpida que parece real.
Praça Navona.
A seguir, um texto em português, da Wikipédia a Enciclopédia livre:
A Praça Navona (em italiano: Piazza Navona) é uma das mais célebres praças de Roma. A sua forma assemelha-se à dos antigos estádios da Roma Antiga, seguindo a planificação do Estádio de Domiciano (também denominado entre os italianos de Campomarzio, em virtude da natureza rude e esforçada dos exercícios - manejo de armas - e desportos atléticos que aí se realizavam). Albergaria até 20 mil espectadores sentados nas bancadas. A origem do nome deve-se ao nome pomposo que lhe foi dado ao tempo do Imperador Domiciano (imperador entre 81-96 d.c.): "Circo Agonístico" (do étimo grego Agonia, que significa precisamente - exercício, luta, combate). Actualmente o nome corresponde à corruptela da forma posterior in agone, depois nagone e finalmente navone, que por mero acaso significa também "grande navio" na língua italiana.
As casas que entretanto e com o passar dos anos foram sendo construídas sobre as bancadas, delimitariam e circunscreveriam até à actualidade o tão afamado Circo Agonístico.
A Navona passou de fato a caracterizar-se como praça nos últimos anos do século XV, quando o mercado da cidade foi transferido do Capitólio para aí. Foi remodelada para um estilo monumental por vontade do Papa Inocêncio X, da família Pamphili e é motivo de orgulho da cidade de Roma durante o período barroco. Sofreu intervenções de Gian Lorenzo Bernini (a famosa Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fonte dos Quatro Rios, 1651) ao centro); de Francesco Borromini e Girolamo Gainaldi (a igreja de Sant'Agnese in Agone); e de Pietro de Cortona, que pintou a galeria no Palácio Pamphilj, sede da embaixada do Brasil na Itália desde 1920.
O mercado tradicional voltou a ser transferido em 1869 para o Campo de' Fiori, embora a praça mantenha também um papel fundamental em servir de palco para espectáculos de teatro e corridas de cavalos. A partir de 1652, em todos os Sábados e Domingos de Agosto, a praça tornava-se num lago para celebrar a própria família Pamphili.
A praça dispõe ainda duas outras fontes esculpidas por Giacomo della Porta - a Fontana di Nettuno (1574), na área norte da praça, e a Fontana del Moro (1576), na área sul.
Na extremidade norte da praça, por debaixo dos edifícios, foram postas a descoberto ruínas antiquíssimas, a uma cota muito abaixo da actual, comprovando a primeva utilização daquele imenso terreiro. Outros monumentos com entrada para a praça:
Stabilimenti Spagnoli
Palazzo de Cupis
Palazzo Torres Massimo Lancellotti
Church of Nostra Signora del Sacro Cuore
Curiosidades
Na Piazza Navona, está localizado o Palazzo Pamphilj, propriedade da República Federativa do Brasil, sede da Embaixada Brasileira e da Missão Diplomática do Brasil para a Itália.

MELANCOLÍAS
Como es sabido la melancolía
no es sinónimo de soledad
aunque una y otra lleguen
con un llanto sequísimo
una ternura en trozos
una tristeza que no tiene nombre
con la melancolía no se juega
sobre todo si sube desde los huesos
y se abre temblorosa y delirante
hay una melancolía que se engancha a la vida
y otra melancolía que se asoma a la muerte
pero los melancólicos no son candorosos
conocen por lo general de qué se trata
la asumen como una fiebre recurrente
como una propensión a la dulzura
o un modo inédito de respirar
normalmente
la soledad y la melancolía
tienen vergüenza de mostrarse
sólo el amor les infunde coraje
y las convierte en pájaros de fuego.

So this Build marks the 6th year Eli and I have displayed together at Brickvention. Every year we both build one half of a diorama. Together we then place our two sides together and the final model comes together for 4 days only at the convention... Sounds tough right? Well add the additional factor of both of us living on opposite sides of Australia (I'm in Perth, Eli is in Brisbane) and we have to fly our MOC down to Melbourne to set up and display. This year we added the challenge of placing Eli's sides on top rather then next to mine, another fun challenge. Lots of hard work and planning go into these annual collaborative builds, and I speak for both of us when I say we've very proud with the end result this year.
I meet and caught up with so many talented and kind hearted people at Brickvention 2018 this year and it was honestly one of the best years yet! We were lucky enough to win the commendation prize as pictured above, couldn't have done it without Eli!

The Kingdom of Rhorevia is at peace once again, the various Kingdoms are united after the 'High King's Accords' were signed by many across the Realm... However the Golbin and Orc armies united under the Shadow Triad have returned staging daring protests and attacks, every day their power grows, threatening to return to what it once was prior to the Destruction of Bahnhof. The High King fears that the treaty may not be enough to stop the mystical power of the Shadow Triad! To ensure the safety of the Kingdom, he tasks the Wizard Arakoth to use his knowledge of the mystic arts to find something that can end The Shadow Triad before it's power destroys the Kingdom.
After weeks of research, Arakoth finds a map to Volsung Hall, the ruined and abandoned city of an ancient people who died off centuries ago. The catacombs had never been explored, perhaps they held treasures or secrets that could fulfil the Kings wishes? Arakoth gathered the best mages, Adventures, and mercenaries in all the Realm and together this band of Adventurers set out to Volsung Hall... However so did the Orc and Goblin Armies.
Upon entering, the Band of Adventures were attacked by Draugr, undead warriors of the fallen Civilization that once lived in Volsung's underground Halls. The Adventures were separated by the Draugr's unrelenting attacks, but this worked in Arakoth's favour. Arakoth entered a large room and before him stood a bright glowing egg, papers and books nearby explained that this was a Dragon end. The Egg was placed below in the deepest chambers of Volsung so that none would find it. A keen spirited Warrior leapt forth to snatch the egg only to be turned into an undead warrior. It seemed the Egg had some sort of curse of the undead laid upon it to prevent it from hatching, or to prevent it from leaving Volsung Hall.
Arakoth knew much about the Mystic Arts, he searched the chamber for some kind of counter-spell of counter-measure to lift the curse from the egg. A bright Blue glowing crystal caught Arakoth's attention, could this be the way to lift the curse? As Arakoth's fingers began to grasp the crystal, a roar echoed through out the cavern. Arakoth's eyes widened in fear, a crimson Red Dragon stood before him, towering over him, it's eyes narrowed ready to attack!
Will Arakoth and the Band of Adventures find a way to take the Dragon egg? Will they survive the Mother's attack? Will they make it out in one piece? Only time will tell..

The Monastery of Sant Benet de Bages is a former Benedictine monastery, in the Catalan comarca of Bages. The Romanesque monastery was thoroughly restored at the beginning of the twentieth century by the Catalan architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch. The monastery was founded about 950 by the noble Salla and his consort Ricarda, of the house of the viscounts of Osona . According to the founding legend, Salla traveled to Rome to have his institution authorized, and to have it depend directly on the Holy See, the usual method for preserving the community from interference from the bishop— in this case of Vic— in whose diocese it lay. The abbey church was consecrated 3 December 972, witnessed by a gathering of notables: Borrell II, Count of Barcelona, the bishops Frugifer of Vic, Guisad of Urgell and Pere of Barcelona, the viscount Guadald of Osona, and three of the four offspring of the recently deceased founder, his son Isarn and the sisters Quíxol and Ego, at the head of witnesses both laymen and priests, in a grand ceremonial recorded in the surviving act of consecration. The community was dedicated to the Holy Trinity and to Benedict of Nursia (Sant Benét in Catalan) founder of the order, and Peter and Andrew, all guarantors of its future orthodoxy. The founder secured dispensations that the future abbots would be chosen from among their descendents, making the abbey a form of proprietary church, an agreement that would soon lead to disputes among the various branches of their lineage as to choice of abbots.
From 965, the abbey church held the supposed relics of Saint Valentine, enclosed in a wooden reliquary with plates of silver depicting miracles of Saint Valentine, which was rediscovered in 1863 in the church of Navarcles. At the beginning of the eleventh century the monastery passed under the direction of the Abbey of Saint Peter of Tomeras at Narbonne, from which the community freed itself in 1108. In 1125 Sant Benet de Bages suffered from an attack by Moors that required a rebuilding, financed by local nobles who required in return the right to be buried in its consecrated ground. The most splendid age of Sant Benet de Bages was in the fourteenth century, until the Black Death left the community with only two survivors, in a period that witnessed the beginning of its decline. On 9 November 1593, by order of Pope Clement VIII the community passed under the direction of the Abbey of Montserrat, and remained so until it was suppressed in 1820, serving as a place of retirement for Montserrat's community of monks. By the "law of desamortización" of 1835, all religious orders in Spain were required to render upo their possessions. The crumbling ancient structure attracted the interest of intellectuals who organised visits to it in the late nineteenth century. The architect Puig i Cadafalch and the painter Ramon Casas encouraged the mother of Casas to buy the property in 1907; in 1910 it passed into the hands of Casas, who commissioned Puig i Cadafalch to restore it. Since 2000, when it was purchased from Casas' heirs it has belonged to the Caixa de Manresa, a financial institution that has undertaken its maintenance.

Seen and captured again at the lakeside of Zurich in Stäfa ... just chosen a slightly different location and time than used for the "Red Bench" shot.
I chose a French title since - let's be honest - French titles sound f... sexy! :-)
Still a few minutes to go until entering the "blue hour", however it had to be that title!
Please check this one in Large and discover all the details (stones and stuff) in the water, which the HDR processing managed to awaken. Use the new flickr or check in Large and on Black!
