nonostante il suo nome in tedesco significhi "la città della gioia", Freudenstadt è stata purtroppo sempre caratterizzata da un'incredibile serie di eventi nefasti, dal primo grande incendio nel 1632 alle devastazioni della Guerra dei Trent'anni, dall'epidemia di peste fino alla distruzione della città durante la seconda guerra mondiale.
I suoi cittadini però non si sono mai lasciati abbattere e anche dopo i fuochi dell'artiglieria e i bombardamenti che avevano raso al suolo gli edifici riuscirono a compiere quello che venne poi chiamato il "miracolo di Freudenstadt", ricostruire la città - in soli 9 anni - seguendo i disegni originali grazie esclusivamente alle donazioni della popolazione locale!
La sua vicinanza alle piste da sci della regione e oltre 400 chilometri di sentieri per escursioni a piedi o in bicicletta ne fanno una delle mete più frequentate della Foresta Nera …

SAINT AUGUSTIN CHURCH
During the second Empire, this neighbourhood, known as 'little Poland', underwent significant redevelopment following construction work by Haussmann – broad straight avenues were laid out and people flocked to live in the new houses built there, greatly increasing the population. A parish was therefore established and a church built, and great care was taken that the church matched the elegance and wealth of the surrounding housing. The architect called in to design Saint Augustin was Victor Baltard, famed for his previous work on the Halles de Paris

"The first man who, having fenced in a piece of land, said "This is mine," and found people naïve enough to believe him, that man was the true founder of civil society. From how many crimes, wars, and murders, from how many horrors and misfortunes might not any one have saved mankind, by pulling up the stakes, or filling up the ditch, and crying to his fellows: Beware of listening to this impostor; you are undone if you once forget that the fruits of the earth belong to us all, and the earth itself to nobody."

“Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes.”

Coni (nom en français, piémontais et occitan, Cuneo en italien) est une ville de 55 714 habitants, chef-lieu de la province de même nom dans la région italienne du Piémont.
Fondée en 1198 sur un haut plateau au pied des Alpes maritimes, elle présente une forme de triangle au confluent de la rivière Stura di Demonte et du torrent Gesso. La vieille ville est bâtie selon un plan en damier à la pointe de ce triangle, de part et d'autre d'une rue médiane qui remonte au Moyen Âge (via Roma).
Rue Intérieure
La passerelle dite de l'Impératrice, relie la gare Saint-Lazare à l'hôtel Hilton Paris Opéra, anciennement appelé Le Terminus.
L'ouvrage de Juste Lisch permettait aux riches voyageurs de gagner directement la gare depuis l'hôtel à l'abri des intempéries.
A picture from the stunning Atocha train station in Madrid. It is magnificent; and I loved walking around there while waiting for the high speed train to Toledo. Here, in this scene, I liked the lines and the light.
There are more pictures from Spain in the Spain album.

People spend hours making these intricate designs on the street only to have them destroyed when religious parades go by. Once the parades have passed by, they immediately begin to create another design for the same thing to happen all over again.

Still Bern/Switzerland. I am fascinated by my new 1.8 lens with 85 mm fixed focal length. While the guy waits for the green light to cross the street, he checks his smartphone. The bokeh is fantastic!
Hello my wonderful people!
Today I got my hair cut (that's why it's straight) I figured since I never straighten my hair EVER I should take some photos to commemorate it. HA!
The Spanish Steps (Italian: Scalinata di Trinità dei Monti) are a set of steps in Rome, Italy, climbing a steep slope between the Piazza di Spagna at the base and Piazza Trinità dei Monti, dominated by the Trinità dei Monti church at the top (Wikipedia).
There were huge crowds when we went there.

Occhi dentro occhi e prova a dirmi se
un po' mi riconosci o in fondo un altro c'è sulla faccia mia
che non pensi possa assomigliarmi un po'
...
dovresti disegnarmi un volto nuovo e occhi per guardarmi
avresti la certezza che non è di me che poi ti vuoi fidare
in quel posto che non c'è
hai mandato solo me
solo me solo me solo me solo me..

My long time friends and contacts know me for my passion of music and dance…
This week I was in a small town in Puerto Rico called Guaynabo and was privileged to see “Danzafrica” with some amazingly talented young dancers… with your permission, I will post several shots of this beautiful festival in the coming days…
This one is dedicated to all who have danced with the light… and to the one who dances with me… if you have ever danced and can feel the heartbeat of your partner… that’s how close I want to dance with you… it’s good to be back… loving the light… and loving each one of you…
TIO...
