Isola Bella took the name of Carlo III’s wife, the bella Isabella, in the 17th century, when its centrepiece, Palazzo Borromeo was built for the Borromeo family. Mussolini tried to stave off WWII here at the Conference of Stresa in April 1935; other well-known guests have included Napoleon and Josephine in 1797 (you can see the bed they slept in), and Prince Charles and Princess Di in 1985. The Borromeo family still use it as their summer residence, occupying the 2nd floor during August and September.

El candidato a diputado nacional, Aníbal Ibarra, denunció que las empresas Roggio y Dycasa “recibieron 75 millones de pesos” del Gobierno de Mauricio Macri “para que no hagan nada con los subtes”. Ibarra aseguró a adnciudad.com que “tardaron 10 días en firmar ese contrato y entregar 75 millones por nada”.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
El candidato a diputado nacional Aníbal Ibarra denunció este miércoles al mediodía que el Gobierno de Mauricio Macri “entregó 75 millones de pesos a dos empresas para que no hagan nada en los subtes”. El destituido Jefe de Gobierno sostuvo que “no es que no hay plata en la Ciudad” sino que está mal administrada.
“Macri tiene 5 mil millones de dólares, cuenta con los recursos que nunca ningún Jefe de Gobierno tuvo, y encima dice que no tiene plata, entregó 75 millones de pesos a dos empresas para que no hagan nada en los subtes”, dijo Ibarra en la conferencia de prensa.
“Además, tardaron sólo 10 días en firmar ese contrato y entregar 75 millones contra nada”, explicó y agregó: “Las empresas que recibieron la plata para los subtes son Roggio y Dycasa”.
“En lo que es manejo de recursos, endeudando la Ciudad, gobernando con déficit, hay un manejo que se va a notar en los próximos años. El año pasado sacaron 120 millones de obras en escuelas y lo mandaron a baldosas. Deberían estar haciendo mucho más con los recursos que tienen”, concluyó.
En diálogo con adnciudad.com, Ibarra dio más detalles de la denuncia: “En noviembre pasado, el Gobierno de la Ciudad le otorgó 34.600.000 pesos a la empresa Dycasa y 39.600.000 pesos a Roggio, como adelanto de las obras por un total de 500 millones de pesos que debían realizarse en la extensión de la línea A (Dycasa) y de la línea B de subtes (Roggio)”.
A lo que añadió: “La idea era hacer las cocheras para los vagones de ambas líneas, pero acto seguido el macrismo transfirió los 300 millones de pesos destinados a tal fin a otra repartición, desfinanciando las obras”.
Frente a lo cual Ibarra expresó: “Actualmente no hay ningún adelanto en las obras previstas en las líneas de subtes, ni tampoco hay un reclamo de devolución de los adelantos, dado que ahora no hay recursos para concluir los trabajos”.
En imagen: En Floresta, sobre Avenida Rivadavia, el tránsito sortea las obras complementarias correspondientes al emplazamiento de la futura Cochera Taller posterior a Nazca. Las mismas, siguen paralizadas por desfinanciamiento y mala administración del Gobierno de Macri.

View the False Pirate On Black
This weekend it is Carnival "Fiesta Carnaval" in my town Almunecar. The rain was poring down yesterday so no new shots. This one is from last year to give you an idea how the children dress out.
I think they have the Pirate idea from Hollywood Productions. They would never dress like this if they had got proper information about the serious Piracy problems in the world.
Here is how the real thing works!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Piracy off the Somali coast has been a threat to international shipping since the beginning of the Somali Civil War in the early 21 century.[1] Since 2005, many international organizations, including the International Maritime Organization and the World Food Programme, have expressed concern over the rise in acts of piracy.[2] Piracy has contributed to an increase in shipping costs and impeded the delivery of food aid shipments. Ninety percent of the World Food Programme's shipments arrive by sea, and ships have required a military escort.[3] According to the Kenyan foreign minister, Somali Falla have received over US$150 million in ransom during the 12 months prior to November 2008.[4]
Clashes have been reported between Somalia's Islamist fighters (who are opposed to the Transitional Federal Government (TFG)) and the pirates.[5] In August 2008, Combined Task Force 150, a multinational coalition task force, took on the role of fighting Somali piracy by establishing a Maritime Security Patrol Area (MSPA) within the Gulf of Aden.[6] The increasing threat posed by piracy also caused significant concerns in India since most of its shipping trade routes pass through the Gulf of Aden. The Indian Navy responded to these concerns by deploying a warship in the region on October 23, 2008.[7][8] In September 2008, Russia announced that it too will soon join international efforts to combat piracy.[9]
On October 5, 2008, the United Nations Security Council adopted resolution 1838[10] calling on nations with vessels in the area to apply military force to repress the acts of piracy.[11] At the 101st council of the International Maritime Organization, India called for a United Nations peacekeeping force under unified command to tackle piracy off Somalia.[12] (There has been a general and complete arms embargo against Somalia since 1992.)
In November 2008, Somali pirates began hijacking ships well outside the Gulf of Aden, perhaps targeting ships headed for the port of Mombasa, Kenya.[13] The frequency and sophistication of the attacks also increased around this time, as did the size of vessels being targeted. Large cargo ships, oil and chemical tankers on international voyages became the new targets of choice for the Somali hijackers. This is in stark contrast to the pirate attacks which were once frequent in the Straits of Malacca, another strategically important waterway for international trade, which were according to maritime security expert Catherine Zara Raymond, generally directed against “smaller , more vulnerable vessels carrying trade across the Straits or employed in the coastal trade on either side of the Straits.”[14]
There are discussions under way to begin an aggressive covert operation against the pirates. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has been publicly warning of this potential threat for months. In a Harpers Magazine article, a CIA official stated, "We need to deal with this problem from the beach side, in concert with the ocean side, but we don't have an embassy in Somalia and limited, ineffective intelligence operations. We need to work in Somalia and in Lebanon, where a lot of the ransom money has changed hands. But our operations in Lebanon are a joke, and we have no presence at all in Somalia."[15]
I think they have the Pirate idea from Hollywood Productions. They would never dress like this if they had got proper information about the serious Pirate problems in the world.

I Ching and the genetic code -
or how to heal the consciousness of the cell.
[ ... ] It wants to expand it discovered many similarities, which I represent in brief and yet some others.
1. Each genetic codon consists of 3 amino acid pairs.
A hexagram in the I Ching consists of 3 line pairs
The chaos research discovered that there is an order in the chaos. Life
developed after the so-called Period 3
2. A DNA molecule is inter alia of 4 nitrogen bases, the basic building blocks
the entire genetic code form. These are adenine, thymine, guanine
and cytosine.
The I Ching consists of the two polarities of Yin and Yang will be permanently
Change are understood and the changing yin and which
wandelndem yang.
In oriental medicine (acupuncture, acupressure) are the four elements
Metal (yang), earth (yin), fire (the changing yang) and water (the
changing yin), together with the wood element, the basis for the
Energy medicine and all other energetic healing methods.
3. Of the four nitrogen bases form the genetic code 2, a
fixed pair that is connected to 2 different ways.
It connects to adenine with thymine and cytosine with guanine.
Three pairs of genetic information result in a unit, whether or codon
Triplet called. These 3 couples can register for a total of 64 different
Codons or triplets (= units of information) interconnect. This
creates the diversity of human life, but also in animal and
plant life. The diversity of creation is based on these
Nitrogen bases.
When I Ching, there are the broken and the solid line on 4
are different ways to form a solid pair of linked
Three of these pairs form a hexagram. This results in the 64
Hexagrams of the I Ching, each with a wisdom and guidance for the
Life of the enlightened people in different situations.
Include Fire, water, earth, metal: Each of these basic elements is equivalent to 2
Channel pairs, a yin and a yang meridian. The Yin meridians show how
that energy applied to the people, the Yang meridians, as he
responds to the outside.
4. The genetic code is a double helix that we are in a
winding rope ladder can compare. The strands are from a 5
C sugar and phosphates, the rungs of this ladder of the nitrogen bases
the codons formed. This double helix is self-contained, has
is no definable beginning and no definable end. The beginning
and the end of a sequence of information is called off and
Stop codons appear.
The I Ching is also known as the Book of Changes. It describes
processes in human life, it as cyclical, always
recurring cycles recognizes that with the right attitude
and approach is not helpless. Again, there are
Hexagrams, the right of the beginning or the end or change
information of enterprises.
Among the four basic elements are used in Eastern medicine more than 5
Element of the wood element, which stands for vitality, and the
Protection system that allows the 5 elements, their shape and structure
and keep to keep them under different conditions of life, added. Man
they could thus also with the strands of the conductor and the basic elements
compare their shoots. Here too, the working of the life energy meridians
as cyclical, often embedded in a circuit. Those
the treatment and healing with the energy meridians or
Energy points aligned.
Of the hexagrams of the I Ching can be direct connections to the
Elements in Eastern medicine and acupuncture meridians to certain
(= Channel in which life energy flows) produce. [...]

I Ging und genetischer Code –
oder wie man das Bewußtsein der Zelle heilen kann.
[…] Dabei entdeckte sie viele verschiedene Gemeinsamkeiten, die ich im Folgenden kurz darstellen und noch um einige andere erweitern möchte.
1. Jedes genetische Codon besteht aus 3 Aminosäure-Paaren.
Ein Hexagramm im I Ging besteht aus 3 Strichpaaren
Die Chaosforschung entdeckte, daß es im Chaos eine Ordnung gibt. Leben
entwickelt sich nach der so genannten Periode 3
2. Ein DNA-Molekül besteht u.a. aus 4 Stickstoffbasen, die die Grundbausteine
des gesamten genetischen Codes bilden. Dies sind Adenin, Thymin, Guanin
und Cytosin.
Das I Ging besteht aus den beiden Polaritäten Yin, und Yang die in ständigem
Wandel begriffen sind und dem sich wandelnden yin und dem sich
wandelndem yang.
In der östlichen Medizin (Akupunktur, Akupressur) bilden die 4 Elemente
Metall (yang), Erde (yin), Feuer (das sich wandelnde yang) und Wasser (das
sich wandelnde yin) zusammen mit dem Holz-Element die Basis für die
Energiemedizin und alle anderen energetischen Heilweisen.
3. Von den vier Stickstoffbasen des genetischen Codes bilden 2 jeweils ein
feststehendes Paar, das auf 2 verschiedene Weisen verbunden ist.
Es verbindet sich Adenin mit Thymin und Guanin mit Cytosin.
Drei Paare ergeben eine genetische Informationseinheit, auch Codon oder
Triplet genannt. Diese 3 Paare können sich zu insgesamt 64 verschiedenen
Codons oder Triplets (= Informationseinheiten) miteinander verbinden. Daraus
entsteht die Vielfalt des menschlichen Lebens, aber auch des tierischen und
pflanzlichen Lebens. Die Vielfalt der Schöpfung basiert auf diesen
Stickstoffbasen.
Beim I Ging gibt es die unterbrochene und die durchgezogene Linie, die auf 4
verschiedene Weisen zu einem festen Paar verknüpft werden
Drei dieser Paare ergeben ein Hexagramm. Dadurch entstehen die 64
Hexagramme des I Ging, die jeweils eine Weisheit und eine Anleitung für die
Lebensweise des erleuchteten Menschen in unterschiedlichen Lebenslagen
beinhalten.
Feuer; Wasser; Erde; Metall: Jedem dieser Grundelemente entsprechen 2
Meridianpaare, ein yin und ein yang Meridian. Die Yin Meridiane zeigen, wie
die jeweilige Energie auf den Menschen einwirkt, die Yang Meridiane, wie er
darauf nach außen reagiert.
4. Der genetische Code bildet eine Doppelhelix, die wir mit einer in sich
gewundenen Strickleiter vergleichen können. Die Stränge werden von einem 5
C Zucker und Phosphaten, die Sprossen dieser Leiter von den Stickstoffbasen
der Codons gebildet. Diese Doppelhelix ist jedoch in sich geschlossen, besitzt
also keinen definierbaren Anfang und kein definierbares Ende. Der Anfang
und das Ende einer Informationssequenz wird durch so genannte Start und
Stop Codons angezeigt.
Das I Ging wird auch als das Buch der Wandlungen bezeichnet. Es beschreibt
die Abläufe im menschlichen Leben, die es als zyklische, immer
wiederkehrende Kreisläufe erkennt, denen man mit der rechten Einstellung
und Herangehensweise nicht hilflos ausgeliefert ist. Auch hier gibt es
Hexagramme, die über den rechten Beginn oder den Abschluss bzw. Wandel
von Unternehmungen informieren.
Zu den 4 Grundelementen kommen in der östlichen Medizin noch als 5.
Element das Holz-Element, das für Lebendigkeit steht, sowie das
Schutzsystem, das den 5 Elementen ermöglicht ihre Form und Struktur zu
bewahren und unter verschiedenen Lebensbedingungen zu halten, hinzu. Man
könnte sie also auch mit den Strängen der Leiter und die Grundelemente mit
ihren Sprossen vergleichen. Auch hier wird das Wirken der Lebensenergiemeridiane
als zyklisch, in einem Kreislauf eingebettet angesehen. Danach ist
auch die Behandlung und Heilung mit den Energiemeridianen oder
Energiepunkten ausgerichtet.
Von den Hexagrammen des I Ging kann man direkte Verbindungen zu den
Elementen in der östlichen Medizin und damit zu bestimmten Akupunkturmeridianen
(= Bahnen in denen unsere Lebensenergie fließt) herstellen. […]

My gawd, this picture came out beautifully on the first try. I spent like a total of 10 minutes executing my idea for this picture, which is record time.
Well, the first try with the scarf that is. I tried it first with no scarf, and I was like: No, it needs to be more middle eastern, and i saw this scarf belt i had peeking from underneath my closet door and I was like: PERFECT! I grabbed it and started to wrap it around my head and i was like: this is awesome. :]
I really wanted it to look like I had a story behind my eyes and I sort of imagined something sad to do so. I hope you all see what I see. ._. Ahaha.
My lashes look so long and there's not even mascara there! O_o
I'm in love with middle eastern/muslim women though, they are just gorgeous to me, which is what inspired the photo in the first place. :) [My grandfather was a muslim/indian as well. :-> ]

Pediastrum biradiatum, es como todas sus hermanas un alga estrella, estrella que en ésta aparece redoblada, joya multiplicada en sí misma. Pediastrum flota como una estrella frente a la estrella del Sol, cara a cara, reflejándose en quien le da la vida con su luz.
En arte de magia, quizá de magia celta del lugar de donde procede, Pediastrum biradiatum va creando en simetría estas joyas de equilibrio. Armonía de una unión que les permite volar sosteniendo su cuerpo de doble sol en las aguas de las lagunas. Ocho, dos o treinta y dos células, individuos, son los números cabalísticos de esta magia de equilibrio que como un rosetón gótico se abre en el muro fluyente del agua.
En Pediastrum biradiatum los individuos centrales aparecen profundamente recortados, dejando amplias lagunas entre ellos, y los dos lóbulos de cada célula del margen están divididos por una hendidura poco profunda. Nadie dijo que se colocaran así, lo hicieron ellos, lo hizo su magia celta, esa misma magia que les hace volar.
Pediastrum biradiatum vive en zonas con pequeñas acumulaciones de agua y aparece de manera dispersa en estos lugares en los que flota extendiendo su doble corona de radios. Joya celta de las lagunas, Pediastrum biradiatum procede de la localidad bretona de Ille et Vilane, próxima a Rennes y ha sido fotografiada a 400 aumentos, empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia

Aun quedan algunas fotos que no quería subir pero terminaron por convencerme. Habían tantos papeles tirados y sucios en el piso de la disco que busqué una buena toma para retratar el olvido en que se encuentran. Me llama la atención que un lugar donde solíamos bailar y pasarla bien se reduce a unas ruinas que irradian desolación. Un triste paisaje.
Quiero agradecer en esta foto por las ya más de 2000 visitas. Muchas gracias a todos los que pasan por aquí y disfrutan de mi trabajo. Vamos por las 5000!

There’re still some photos that I didn’t want to upload but ended up convincing me. There were so many lying-dirty papers on floor of the discotheque that I looked up for a nice shot to show the oblivion they were in. It strikes me that a place were we used to dance and have fun is reduced to some ruins that emanate desolation. A really sad view.
I want to say thank on this image for the more than 2000 visits. Thanks you all guys that come over here and enjoy my work. Go for the 5000!

Severe thunder storms, hail and a tornado in the Lower Austria yesterday afternoon; the storms claimed two lives even (an older Herr died at an heart attackt, a 52-years old woman drowned in a creek that had grown to a raging river in the shortest time). Here, we had just rain.
Kas ma mitte ei lubanud endale, et ma ei lähe pärast vihma märja rohu sisse roomama, mina mitte ... ? ---
Eile olid Ida-Austrias rängad äiksetormid, rahe tegi Weinviertelis ja Künklikus Maailmas palju pahandust ning Klosterneuburgi kandis möllas isegi üks tornaado. Üks vanem mees sai erutusest infarkti ja üks 52-aastane naine uppus ojja, millest oli hetkede jooksul saanud märatsev jõgi (tahtis veepumpa kohendada). Lugematud keldrid said jälle ujutada.

The Zwinger (Der Dresdner Zwinger) is a palace in Dresden, eastern Germany, built in Baroque style.
The location was formerly part of the Dresden fortress of which the outer wall is conserved. The name derives from the German word Zwinger (outer ward of a concentric castle); it was for the cannons that were placed between the outer wall and the major wall. The Zwinger was not enclosed until the neoclassical building by Gottfried Semper called the Semper wing was built to host the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister art gallery.
The name Zwinger goes back to the common medieval German term for that part of a fortification between the outer and inner defensive walls, or "outer ward". Archaeological evidence indicates that the construction of the first city wall took place in the last quarter of the 12th century. A documentary entry as civitas in 1216 points to the existence of an enclosed Dresden Fortification at that time. In 1427, during the Hussite Wars, work began on strengthening the city's defences and they were enhaned by a second - outer - wall. These improvements began near the Wildruffer Tor gate. Step by step the old moat had to be filled in and moved. The area between the two walls was generally referred to as the Zwinger and, in the vicinity of the castle, was utilised by the royal court at Dresden for garden purposes. The location of the so-called Zwingergarten from that period is only imprecisely known to be between the fortifications on the western side of the city.[1][2] Its extent varied in places as a result of subsequent improvements to the fortifications and is depicted differently on the various maps.
This royal Zwingergarten, a garden used to supply the court, still fulfilled one of its functions, as indicated by the name, as a narrow defensive area between the outer and inner defensive walls. This was no longer the case when work on the present-day Zwinger palace began in the early 18th century, nevertheless the name was transferred to the new building. Admittedly the southwestern parts of the building of the baroque Dresden Zwinger including the Kronentor gate stand on parts of the outer curtain wall that are still visible today; but there is no longer any trace of the inner wall
Augustus the Strong, elector of Saxony, returned from a grand tour through France and Italy in 1687–89, just at the moment that Louis XIV moved his court to Versailles. On his return to Dresden, having arranged his election as King of Poland (1697), he wanted something similarly spectacular for himself. The fortifications were no longer needed and provided readily available space for his plans. The original plans, as developed by his court architect Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann before 1711, covered the space of the present complex of palace and garden, and also included as gardens the space down to the Elbe River, upon which the Semper opera house and its square were built in the nineteenth century.
The Zwinger was designed by Pöppelmann and constructed in stages from 1710 to 1728. Sculpture was provided by Balthasar Permoser. The Zwinger was formally inaugurated in 1719, on the occasion of the electoral prince Frederick August’s marriage to the daughter of the Habsburg emperor, the Archduchess Maria Josepha. At the time, the outer shells of the buildings had already been erected and, with their pavilions and arcaded galleries, formed a striking backdrop to the event. It was not until the completion of their interiors in 1728, however, that they could serve their intended functions as exhibition galleries and library halls.
The death of Augustus in 1733 put a halt to the construction because the funds were needed elsewhere. The palace area was left open towards the Semperoper square and the river. Later the plans were changed to a smaller scale, and in 1847–1855 the area was closed by the construction of the gallery wing now separating the Zwinger from the opera place; the architect was Gottfried Semper, who designed the opera house.
The building was mostly destroyed by the carpet bombing raids of 13–15 February 1945. The art collection had been evacuated before, though. After the war, in a referendum, the people of Dresden voted to restore the building and generally preferred to rebuild the glories of the city, instead of having the ruins razed to make way for the architecture of socialist realism then prevalent in the German Democratic Republic.

Barsebäck is a closed nuclear power plant in Sweden, which is situated in Barsebäck, Kävlinge Municipality, Skåne. Located just 20 kilometers from the Danish capital, Copenhagen, the Danish government pressed for its closure during its entire lifetime. As a result of the Swedish nuclear power phase-out, its two reactors have now been closed. The first reactor, Barsebäck 1, was closed November 30, 1999, and the second, Barsebäck 2, ceased operations May 31, 2005.
Land for the plant was bought in 1965 by the energy company Sydkraft, and the first of the two BWR reactors was ordered from Asea-Atom in 1969. Unit one first attained criticality on January 18, 1975 and commercial operation began on May 15. The second reactor attained criticality in March 21, 1977 and commercial operation began on June 12. Following a decision in the Parliament in 1997, the Government of Sweden decided that the first reactor was to close July 1, 1998, and the second July 1, 2001. Due to the operator's appeal of the decision, the closure was postponed. The destruction of the facility will await the construction of a storage facility, scheduled to be ready by 2020.
At the time of closure, each reactor had a capacity of 600 megawatts. The plant was operated by Barsebäck Kraft AB, a subsidiary of Ringhals AB, owned by Vattenfall and Sydkraft.
Details on
The Fukusahima I Nuclear Power Plant (福島第一原子力発電所, Fukushima Dai-Ichi Genshiryoku Hatsudensho?, Fukushima I NPP), often referred to as Fukushima Dai-ichi (Dai-ichi simply means number 1), is a nuclear power plant located in the town of Okuma in the Futaba District of Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, first commissioned in 1971. The plant consists of six boiling water reactors. These light water reactors[1] have a combined power of 4.7 GW, making Fukushima I one of the 15 largest nuclear power stations in the world. Fukushima I was the first nuclear plant to be constructed and run entirely by the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). The plant suffered major damage from the 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami that hit Japan on March 11, 2011, disabling the reactor cooling systems and triggering a widespread evacuation surrounding the plant.
The Fukushima II Nuclear Power Plant, 11.5 kilometres (7.1 mi) to the south, is also run by TEPCO.

Un célula verde casi esférica con dos largos filamentos con los que se desplaza y una pequeña mancha ocular roja, podría ser una descripción válida para muchas algas verdes, pero hoy corresponde a Eudorina y no vive sola, al principio se dividió en dos y así hasta cinco veces y han resultado de este modo 32.
Son treinta y dos hermanas gemelas que se han asociado y ya no sólo en un plano como Pediastrum o Gonium, sino en cinco, como cinco pisos bien organizados, el primero y el último con cuatro vecinas y los tres de en medio con ocho, entre todas vuelven a sumar treinta y dos, no se ha perdido ninguna.
Aunque todas estas hermanas tienen su individualidad trabajan en equipo recorriendo su mundo acuático en forma de esfera errante, pero con una importante novedad, han desarrollado una envuelta común, esférica, transparente y gelatinosa, como resaltando así que aunque son muchas son sólo una.

J'ai écrit à la plume, au dos du vase ce poème.
Sabot de Vénus©
Sabot de Vénus tu es ma fleur
Préférée, élancée et distinguée
Tu remplis mon âme de sérénité,
Comme une enfant contre mon cœur
Au bonheur toujours renouvelé
Dans la pureté et la simplicité.
Ton langage tout en couleur,
Blanc, naïf, pur et idéalisé,
Rose, séduisant par sa sensualité,
Jaune, l’amour et sa chaleur,
Rouge, l’urgence de l’ amour désiré
Qui mène aux noces de l’orchidée.
Élie Mangoubi
Elie Mangoubi est un médecin psychiatre, né à Héliopolis et vivant à Chicago depuis 1968. Docteur en médecine de l'Université Libre de Bruxelles, il fit sa résidence en Psychiatrie à Rush-Presbyterian St Luke's à Chicago. Son plus grand bonheur fut d'avoir soigné les vétérans de 1974 à 2007, eux qui ont tant sacrifié pour sauvegarder notre liberté et de soigner les résidents chez les Petites Soeurs des Pauvres de 1970 jusqu’à ce jour et sa reconnaissance va à eux.
Depuis qu'il a pris sa retraite en temps que psychiatre au service des vétérans, il écrit des poèmes sur les juifs du Nil qui furent forçés de quitter l'Egypte avec l'arrivée au pouvoir de Nasser. Il parle de la souffrance de cette communauté qui a dû partir dans des conditions difficiles mais qui a su faire face à cet exode avec courage et détermination.
Ces poèmes traitent de thèmes divers: la famille, l’amour, la violence dans ce monde, l’injustice, la santé, la sérénité et l’importance de la spiritualité. Il est un témoin vibrant des souffrances de cette communauté, de tous les opprimés et les souffrants dans le monde. Son message lucide et clair; est une prière continuelle à la non violence pour promouvoir la tolérance, trouver la sérénité et la paix.

22/52 - 52 Weeks for Dogs
Part of my 52 weeks project is to showcase Gyp with landmarks or interesting structures in our city. In this photo Gyp is sitting on a Window ledge about 10" wide, and about 4' off the ground!
This structure is the remaining wall of the orignal hospital in our city. The other hospital structure has now been turned into a gorgeous museum. It also leads to miles of walking trials, which all 3 dogs enjoyed after the photos today.
- - -
The coolest thing happened after this photo, I lifted Gyp down from the ledge, and before I had a chance to call her, she had ran over to a park bench where an elderly lady was enjoying the morning sun, and a cigarette. Gyp hopped right in beside her for a snuggle. I apologized, and the lady was so nice and was more than happy to share the bench with her. I don't think she wanted her to go, she even let me snap some photos of her.

Much Better Viewed Large On Black
Living in Southern California has some real advantages, like visiting Laguna Beach. I took this photo from the outdoor patio of a fabulous restaurant there - what a view!
In this photo I used Photoshop filter Fractalius to enhance the original with a "painterly" effect. (The original photo is below in the comments section.)
INFORMATION ON LAGUNA BEACH, CALIFORNIA:
Laguna Beach includes 7 miles of coastline with some of Southern California most scenic beaches and coves you'll find along the Southern California coast. The best tide pools, diving opportunities, and best sunsets on this region of California coast are right in Laguna Beach. Home to mansions and quaint cottages that line bluffs above the sandy coves, for over 100 years, tourists have flocked to a little piece of paradise to scuba dive, to paint the colors of nature which seem more vibrant there and to enjoy natural beauty not seen elsewhere. Laguna Beach enjoys healthy tourism with over 3 million visitors each year. Note: These numbers do not factor in local day visitors within a close radius to Laguna Beach.
Laguna Beach holds the distinction of having one of the greatest number of localized beaches of any city on the California coast. The list includes the northern beaches of Irvine Cove, Crescent Bay, Shaw's Cove, Boat Canyon, Diver's Cove, Picnic Beach and Rockpile. Central Beaches include Main Beach, Sleepy Hollow, St. Ann's Street, Thalia Street, Oak Street, Brook's Street and Mountain Road Beach. Southern Laguna Beach (South Laguna Beach) beaches include Bluebird Canyon, Pearl Street, Wood's Cove, Moss Point, Rockledge, Victoria Beach and Treasure Island. Guarded by a premier force of lifeguards, Laguna Beaches are operated under the City of Laguna Beach Lifeguard Services. www.lblg.org
What's unique about the Laguna Beach beaches are their tourist and hotel friendly locations. With properties constructed on and near the beach before the California Coastal Commission regulations changed the building permit process, you'll see some spectacular hotel and resorts sitting on cliffs above the ocean in South Orange County. That's why tourists love visiting and staying overnight in Laguna Beach. You can park your car and walk down to the on location beach at many hotels, or walk downtown to the great shops, restaurants and art galleries. Of all the Orange County cities that range from San Clemente, Dana Point, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Seal Beach, Sunset Beach and Surfside, Laguna Beach offers the most beach hotel rooms directly on the sand without crossing Pacific Coast Highway. Montage, the newest resort property, is spectacular with its views, pools, lawns and beaches that are open to the public. You'll be hard pressed to find a more luxurious resort destination than Laguna Beach.
Laguna got its name long ago from the Ute-Azteca Indian word for lakes, Lagonas. Spaniards who arrived later called it Canada de las Lagunas (Canyon of the Lakes) and in 1904, the area became known as Laguna Beach.
Around the same time artist Norman St. Clair traveled from Los Angeles to capture the scenery on canvas. His artist friends were so impressed with his paintings and reports of a balmy year-round climate that they joined him. (He and his wife actually lived in Laguna off and on prior to 1912.) The plein-air artists who painted in the style of French impressionists, settled and by the late 1920’s, half of the residents were artists.
Following the artists came the Hollywood film makers who found Laguna to be every bit as appealing on the silver screen as it was painted on canvas. Many of Hollywood’s famous stars like Bette Davis, Mary Pickford, Judy Garland, Rudolph Valentino, Charlie Chaplin and Mickey Rooney maintained homes in Laguna Beach.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt and John Steinbeck also went to Laguna for inspiration and relaxation, frequenting landmarks like the White House and the Cabrillo Ballroom.
Laguna’s universal allure is best expressed on a famous gate built in 1935 (which still
stands on the corner of Forest and Park Avenues); it reads “This gate hangs well and
hinders none, refresh and rest, then travel on.”

I've travelled from Texas
To Old Loussianne
Through mountains and valleys and plains
Footsore and weary
I rested a while
On the banks of old Pontchartrain
The fairest young maiden
That I ever saw passed by when it started to rain
We both found a shelter
Beneath the same tree
On the banks of old Pontchartrain
I ventured a smile but she thought I was bold
I hastened to try and explain
Somehow I knew I would linger a while
On the banks of old Pontchartrain
We hid from the shower and hour or so
She asked me how long I'd remain
I told her I spend the rest of my days
On the banks of old Pontchartrain
As time drifted by we fell deeper in love
A love that would just bring her pain
I knew that one day I would leave her alone
On the banks of old Pontchartrain
I just couldn't tell her that I ran away
From a jail on the West Texas plain
I prayed in my heart I would never be found
To the banks of old Pontchartrain
Then one day a man put a hand on my arm
Said I must go west the same day
I said I couldn't without saying goodbye
On the banks of old Pontchartrain
Tonight I sit here alone in my cell
I know that she is waiting in vain
And hoping and praying someday to return
On the banks of old Pontchartrain

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.

We had some some of the best light of the year on the central coast tonight. As I left the house and hit the highway, I couldn't take my eyes off the fantastic clouds and golden beams of light. Just beautiful. And I was running late. I should have already been shooting this stuff, but I just floored the pedal and headed for Davenport as quick as I could. I knew exactly where I wanted to go--down to the Davenport pier at beach level as these clouds were what I'd always envisioned behind the pier, but had never gotten before. When I got up there, I was shocked at how far to the north
the sun was setting--too far out of frame for what I had in mind. Right then I decided if I went down to the beach, I'd be missing whatever color this sunset would offer. So I stayed on the bluffs and shot it from all directions. It was all slightly disappointing, as these little adventures often are for me when I fail to get the shot I wanted.
But you often end up with interesting stuff anyway. And I kind of liked this shot, with the cliff walls and cloud banks framing the pier right and left, top and bottom.
Il progetto fu attuato da diverse celebri figure dell'automobilismo di quegli anni: Nebbia, Fessia, Giacosa e Zerbi che costruirono una vettura dalle prestazioni di classe ma dai costi relativamente contenuti. Il modello viene presentato alla Fiera di Milano il 12 aprile del 1932 in occasione del Salone dell'automobile e si caratterizzava soprattutto per il cambio a tre marce.
Montava anteriormente un motore a quattro cilindri in linea di 995 cc di cilindrata capace di sviluppare circa 20 CV a 3500 rpm, e che aveva le valvole situate lateralmente ai cilindri. La trazione era posteriore e l'auto montava freni a tamburo su tutte e quattro le ruote, la vettura poteva spingersi a circa 80 km/h di velocità massima.
Tale versione venne sostituita però due anni dopo dalla Balilla a quattro marce e munita di carrozzeria aerodinamica a due o quattro porte.
Gli esemplari prodotti fra le varie serie dal '32 al '37 furono ben 112.000, complice il basso costo dell'auto, 10.800 lire contro le 18.500 della Fiat 509 che permise alla Fiat una produzione senza precedenti di questa fortunata realizzazione.
La Balilla veniva prodotta negli stabilimenti torinesi del Lingotto e fu venduta in tante configurazioni diverse berlina, spider, torpedo, coloniale, sport spider e berlinetta Mille Miglia, facendo anche la fortuna di molti carrozzieri che ne sfruttarono il telaio: ricordiamo in particolare Garavini, Savio, Balbo, Bertone, Casaro e Ghia.
Oltre che in Italia venne anche prodotta in Polonia e messa in vendita con il marchio Polski-Fiat 508, al prezzo di 5.400 Zł. Fu prodotta in 3 versioni successive.
Venne fabbricata anche in Francia dalla neonata Simca-Fiat. Presentata il 18 settembre 1932, fu prodotta in 26.472 esemplari fino nel 1937.
Fu anche fabbricata presso la NSU-Fiat in Germania.
La sua diretta erede fu la Fiat 508C "Nuova Balilla 1100" (1100A musetto) presentata nel 1937 con nome di progetto Fiat 508 C.

Gerlache strait. Andvord Bay. Een desolate, barre en koude ligging.De enige plaats waar we ook landen op het Antarctica-vasteland. Van hier tot de Weddelsea is het slechts 50km, dit is de woonplaats van de Keizer of Emperor Penguin. We varen magisch langsheen drijvende ijsbergen, komende van de afbrokkelende gletsjers. De baai is wonderlijk mooi gelegen. He leven kan je horen en ruiken van op afstand. Hier een broedplaats van de ezel pinguïn. De ouders hebben het zeer druk met de hongerige jongen die roepen voor 'krieltjes'.

Israel delays aid trucks from Egypt to Gaza "France sent technical equipment to help Gazans draw water from the ground. The Swiss sent blankets and plastic tarps. Mercy Corps, a relief agency, sent 12 truckloads of food. And on Tuesday all of it, including dozens of other trucks carrying sugar, rice, flour, juice and baby formula, sat in the hot sun here going nowhere."
"All our lunchmeat, it's all going to go bad," said Abdullah "We have trucks we loaded up five days ago still sitting here, waiting." said said Hany.
At the United Nations, John Holmes, an emergency relief coordinator, said the scale of the destruction meant that far more than the current movement of aid was needed urgently. "Enough will always be allowed in for people to exist, but not enough for the conditions for people to live,"

I have been a HUGE fan of this man's work for a very longtime. I have played at many of the theatres he has designed. He is a Theater Designer and has worked on some of the most recognized theatres in the WORLD. It was an honor to get to spend a few hours with him and get to see him work! He showed me ALL the work he has done in his lifetime, I got to sit with him at his desk where he creates and designs these masterpieces!!!!!! I kept having to stop and just take it all in, when you have followed a person's work, and then get to actually sit and see them work, it is breathtaking. He is an ARTIST in every sense of the world. He knew he wanted to design theatres at the tender age of 4, when his mom took him to see a show. The lights, colors, textures, patterns, dancers, actors, etc all left a lifetime impression on him that lasts till this very day! He has miniature 1/8 scale models of all of his work, the intricate details that he puts into his models is beyond AMAZING!!! I feel truly inspired, blessed, and privileged to be one of the few people that have taken his portrait. He has invited me over to do more and also he let me know I can use his studio to do photoshoots anytime I want to. His studio in itself is a work of art, I will be sharing more pics of his studio and models in the days to come. I hope you enjoy this picture as much as I do.

P.S. My Hard Drive crashed yesterday, which is a bummer, but all is not lost. I was able to retrieve ALL of my Raw files, however lost ALL of my post processed pics. I only was able to retrieve my web resolution shots. So I have A LOT of work to do, but it is ok. I get to wake up and do what I LOVE to do everyday!

Wicklow, Irish: Cill Mhantáin, meaning "church of the toothless one"[1][2]) is the county town of County Wicklow in Ireland. Located south of Dublin on the east coast of the island, it has a population of 10,070 according to the 2006 census.[3] The town is situated to the east of the N11 route between Dublin and Wexford. Wicklow is also connected to the rail network, with Dublin commuter services now extending to the town. Additional services connect with Arklow, Wexford and Rosslare Europort, a main ferry port. There is also a commercial port, mainly importing timber and textiles.
Situata nella parte sud-occidentale della Basilicata, la Valle prende il nome dal fiume Agri ed è una delle valli più belle e caratteristiche dell'Italia Meridionale.
La forma della valle è quella di un'ampia varice, circondata dai rilievi montuosi, e presenta ambienti e zone molto diversificate.
I centri abitati sono posti sulle colline situate lungo la parte iniziale del tragitto del fiume (lungo 136 Km) che nasce alle pendici del monte Volturino e sfocia in mare nei pressi di Policoro.
La zona è dominata da due monti: il Volturino (1856 m.) ed il Monte di Viggiano (1725 m.) sul quale ha sede il Santuario della Madonna di Viggiano, uno dei più noti di tutta l'Italia Meridionale.
Le bellezze naturali in Val d'Agri sono innumerevoli; degne di nota sono la faggeta del Volturino, ricchissima di fiori di bosco come i ciclamini rosso scuro, l'agrifoglio, i gigli rossi ed i narcisi; la faggeta di Moliterno dagli alberi imponenti e i castagneti di Tramutola.

Esta fotografia foi tirada em 11 de Junho de 2010, quase no Verão. Apesar disso, tem este ar invernoso resultado da densa neblina que existia na altura.
A serra do Marão tem sido fonte de inspiração para grandes autores portugueses, como Miguel Torga e outros. Mas, para Teixeira de Pascoaes ela é a Montanha Sagrada, por meio da qual toda a natureza ascende ao Cosmo (panteísmo) e, daí, ao espírito universal.
Ele escreve a propósito do Marão no seu poema mais conhecido (o Marânus):
"Espectros nebulosos,
Remotos ascendentes
Emergem na penumbra que flutua
E rodeiam-nos tristes, misteriosos..."
This photograph was taken on June 11, 2010, almost Summer time, though the wintry look. This Northern Mountain, Marão, also has heavy mists and has been a source of inspiration to many Portuguese Authors, like Miguel Torga and others. But, toTeixeira de Pascoaes, my favourite, Marão is the Sacred Mountain through which Natures aspires to Cosmos (pantheism), thus attaining the Universal Spirit. He wrote a well known poem (Marânus) and described the atmosphere in Marão this way:
"Fuzzy Ghosts,
Of ancient ancestors
Emerge in the misty shadows
And surround us, sad and mysterious ...."
Translated by Chilliwack Jack
I found a very interesting site in English about this poet and his philosophy.
These Chinese lanterns hang very close to the ceiling of a restaurant in Toowoomba, Queensland. They are so close that they give the appearance of balloons filled with Helium floating on the ceiling. They are also reflected in mirrors on one of the walls.

Congregation Ohab Zedek, or OZ, as it is fondly known, is more than just a synagogue. Under the leadership of Rabbi Allen Schwartz, the Shul is known for its open doors and big heart. OZ has broad ties with the surrounding Jewish community and its Upper West Side neighborhood as a whole. A random visitor could easily encounter an up and coming scholar from Israel, or members of the local fire station. It is an informal, comfortable, inclusive community.
OZ is a modern Orthodox congregation, but any individual is welcome, regardless of background or means. It is a Shul of interlocking communities--young families who find a relaxed setting on Shabbos morning to introduce their toddlers to services; singles, who famously crowd the steps on Friday night; and seniors, many of whom have been members of OZ for decades. It is home to those tentatively exploring Judaism as well as the most learned, who are stimulated by a broad array of lecturers and classes.
OZ is known for its wide range of Chesed activities, which include a long-time Bikur Cholim group that visits Mount Sinai Hospital each Shabbos and on holidays, as well as its members' regular visits to homebound seniors. Members also subsidize seats for those in need on Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur.
OZ has a proud history. The Shul was founded in 1873 on Avenue B and Houston Street on the Lower East Side as the First Hungarian Congregation Ohab Zedek. After a sojourn on West 116th Street in Harlem, the Congregation moved to its present location at 118 West 95th Street in 1926. Today, as part of a revitalized Upper West Side that has drawn an ever-expanding population of families and young adults, OZ is a vibrant and dynamic Jewish center for prayer, learning and social activities.

Piazza San Marco (often known in English as St Mark's Square), is the principal public square of Venice, Italy, where it is generally known just as "the Piazza". All other urban spaces in the city (except the Piazzetta and the Piazzale Roma) are called "campi" (fields). The Piazzetta (the 'little Piazza') is an extension of the Piazza towards the lagoon in its south east corner (See plan). The two spaces together form the social, religious and political centre of Venice and are commonly considered together. This article relates to both of them.
A remark usually attributed to Napoleon calls the Piazza San Marco "the drawing room of Europe". (The attribution to Napoleon is unproven).[1] It is one of the few great urban spaces in Europe where human voices prevail over the sounds of motorized traffic.
One of the most beautiful and charming places in Paris - smaller and more intimate than the Tuileries and the Luxembourg gardens. A place to rest in, relax, shop, and watch people surrounded by magnificent architecture.
Originally known as the Place Royale, the Place des Vosges was built by Henri IV from 1605 to 1612. A true square (140 m x 140 m), it embodied the first European program of royal city planning. The Place des Vosges, inaugurated in 1612 with a grand carrousel to celebrate the wedding of Louis XIII and Anne of Austria, is the prototype of all the residential squares of European cities that were to come. What was new about the Place Royale in 1612 was that the housefronts were all built to the same design, probably by Baptiste du Cerceau, of red brick with strips of stone quoins over vaulted arcades that stand on square pillars.
Former illustrious Residents of the Place des Vosges:
No. 1bis Madame de Sevigné was born here
No. 6, ""Maison de Victor Hugo"" Victor Hugo from 1832–1848, in what was then the Hôtel de Rohan-Guéménée, now a museum devoted to his memory, managed by the City of Paris
No. 7 Sully, Henri IV's great minister
No. 8 poet Théophile Gautier and writer Alphonse Daudet
No. 11 occupied from 1639-1648 by the courtesan Marion Delorme
No. 15 Marguerite Louise d'Orléans, wife of Cosimo III de' Medici
No. 17 former residence of Bossuet
No. 21 Cardinal Richelieu from 1615–1627
No. 23 post-impressionist painter Georges Dufrénoy {From Wikpedia}"
I walked up to the tree, admiring the tiny white flowers on the branches
Not long ago, these trees held nothing; all the leaves had died
I asked the flowers, "What made you decide to bloom this year?
Why didn't you stay hidden in your branches, where it was safe?
Why do you always do the same thing every year?"
They looked back at me and quivered slightly with the wind
"Well," the flowers said, "the world is sad and dreary for so long
and we bring happiness back to it."
I considered this. "What makes people so happy when spring comes?"
The flowers looked up at the sun. "Change," the smallest bloom sighed.
"The world needs that every once in a while; it brings happiness.
If the world did not need to change, then we would never grow."
I nodded and smiled at the idea. I hadn't thought of it that way before.
I could only hear the slight rustle of the branches as I walked back the way I had come.

House Finch (carpodacus mexicanus)-is a medium-sized finch.
Adults have a long brown tail and are a brown or dull-brown color across the back with some shading into deep grey on the wing feathers. Breast and belly feathers may be streaked. In most cases, adult males have a reddish color to their heads, necks and shoulders. This color sometimes extends to the stomach and down the back, between the wings. The male coloration varies in intensity with the seasons and is derived from the berries and fruits in its diet. As a result, the colors range from pale, straw yellow, to bright orange, to deep, intense red. Adult females have brown upperparts and streaked underparts.
These birds are mainly permanent residents; some eastern birds migrate south. Their breeding habitat is urban and semi-open areas from southern Canada to Mexico.
House Finches forage on the ground or in vegetation. They primarily eat grains, seeds and berries, being voracious consumers of weed seeds such as nettle and dandelion; included are incidental small insects, such as aphids and plant lice. They are frequent visitors to feeders throughout the year, particularly if stocked with sunflower seeds or Nyjer/thistle seed, and will congregate at hanging Nyjer sock feeders. They are considered a pest in fruit orchards.
Nests are made in cavities, including openings in buildings, and also on various kinds of vegetation, sometimes nests abandoned by other birds will be used. Nests may be re-used for subsequent broods or in following years. The nest is built by the female, sometimes in as little as two days. It is well made of twigs and debris, forming a cup shape, usually 1.5m to 2m above the ground.
Eggs are laid from February through August, two or more broods per year with 2 to 6 eggs per brood. The eggs are a pale, bluish-green with few black spots and a smooth, somewhat glossy surface. The female incubates the eggs for 12 to 14 days and the young leave the nest about 11 to 19 days after hatching. Dandelion seeds are among the preferred seeds fed to the young.
During courtship, the male may present the female with choice bits of food and, if she imitates the posture of a hungry chick, he may actually feed her. The male may also feed the female during the breeding and incubation period.
House Finches are one of the few birds that are aggressive enough to keep House Sparrows out of their birdhouse and evict them.
Originally only a resident of Mexico and the southwestern United States, they were introduced to eastern North America in the 1940s. The birds were being sold illegally in New York while marketed as the "Hollywood Finch." Many vendors and owners released the birds into the wild in order to avoid prosecution. The released birds spread rapidly and, in some unforested areas, have displaced the native Purple Finch. In 1870, they were introduced into Hawaii.
