Maybe this shot was too much for my lens. After this one it refused to work (it doesn't zoom). So... could it have been the special light??
olio su masonite trattata 68 x 88.
Sembrano barche fluttuare come un secco guscio di zucca…
In un contesto tranquillo, semplice, confortevole, su una incantevole natura circostante che ricorda il mediterraneo e soprattutto di mare con un accenno al tramonto.

...a day late.
we were w/o internet yesterday, all of our county and into the next.
this ornament is actually very small, it's on our little fiber optic tree.
as I took the shot, I wondered if this man would ever find his way out of the maze of his damaged mind, and I wondered what tragedy could have caused this human being to so lose touch with our world.
i sincerely hope that, one fine day, he will find his way back.

- Approximately 10,000 of the world's 25,000 known fish species are freshwater animals, and an average of 300 new freshwater fish species are described every year. Wetlands around the world provide goods and services to people worth an estimated US$70 billion a year.
- In developing countries, an estimated 90% of wastewater is discharged directly into rivers and streams without treatment.
- Fragmentation of river systems due to dams is the single greatest threat to the maintenance of ecosystem integrity. The total number of dams worldwide is estimated at 800,000, including some 1,000 mega-dams over 100m high.
- Humans currently expropriate some 54% of the planet's blue water (water that flows through rivers, lakes, groundwater etc). Estimates suggest that this may increase to 70% by 2025.
- Approximately 2.3 billion people live in river basins under water stress, where annual per capita water availability is below 1,700 cubic metres. If current consumption patterns continue, at least 3.5 billion people will live in water-stressed river basins in 2025 – around 48% of the world's projected population.
- WWF's Living Planet Index (2007) shows that the Freshwater Species Population Index (which comprises populations of 195 species of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and fish from lakes, rivers, and wetland ecosystems) fell 29% between 1970 and 2003.
- Climate change is predicted to have a whole range of impacts on water resources. Water resources are becoming even more vulnerable, and the likelihood is that flooding will become a more significant risk in many temperate and humid regions, which is likely to affect infrastructures and safety.
Weekend blues...Have a great weekend everyone...Cheers, Ringgo.

I dedicate this sterlizia - a typical african flower, which is also there a symbol of love, - to the memory of Miriam Makeba, a great voice as well as a voice of Liberty who passed away in Italy last night ...she was known as "Mama Africa". For me its special too since both countries are very important in my life.

Roccella Valdemone is found in the province in Messina, exactly to the feet of the point of Castelluzzo and to 810 meters on the level of the sea.
Its other geographical coordinates to be remembered are first of all the proximity with the Regional Park of the Nebrodis and that of the Etna, whose outline dominates the landscape city, and good part of the Stream Roccella. The city understands around 1.000 inhabitants.
From the 1296 Roccella it was initially barony and then marquisate of the noble family of the Spadaforas.
From the cultural point of view the city offers the possibility to admire the Mother Church the Church entitled to the hearing and the ruins of the feudal Castle. From the naturalistic point of view, instead, the excursions can be effected already near her quoted peak of the Point of Castelluzzo, near the End Left-handed Cross and to the strata of the Volcano Etna.
Roccella Valdemone si trova in provincia di Messina, esattamente ai piedi della punta di Castelluzzo e ad 810 metri sul livello del mare.
Le sue altre coordinate geografiche da ricordare sono innanzitutto la vicinanza con il Parco Regionale delle Nebrodi e quello dell'Etna, la cui sagoma domina il paesaggio cittadino, e buona parte del Torrente Roccella. La citta' comprende circa 1.000 abitanti.
Dal 1296 Roccella fu inizialmente baronia e poi marchesato della nobile famiglia dei Spadafora.
Dal punto di vista culturale la citta' offre la possibilita' d'ammirare la Chiesa Madre, la Chiesa intitolata all'Udienza ed i ruderi del Castello feudale. Dal punto di vista naturalistico, invece, si possono effettuare le escursioni presso la gia' citata vetta della Punta di Castelluzzo, presso il Pizzo Croce Mancina ed alle falde del Vulcano Etna.
