Prove silenziose.

Parliamo di tutto tranne di certe cose semplicemente perché o non sappiamo come affrontarlo o pensiamo che gli altri non lo apprezzeranno o non lo rispetteranno.

Tuttavia, per un motivo o per l'altro o forse anche per altri motivi, ciò si traduce nella repressione di argomenti che farebbero una buona conversazione.

Quindi cose di cui non si parla all'interno della linea del pensiero, penso a prove mute o che tacciono (non parlare).

Il pericolo è la repressione, qualcosa che può degenerare in mali psicotologici.

  

Evidencias caladas.

Falamos de tudo menos de certas coisas simplesmente porque ou não sabemos abordar ou achamos que os outros não vão gostar ou respeitar.

Contudo por uma ou outa razão ou possivelmente ainda outras razões isto resulta em recalcar assuntos que dariam uma boa conversa.

Assim coisas de que se não falam dentro da linha de pensamento, penso em evidencias mudas ou que se calam (não se falam).

O perigo é o recalcamento coisa que pode degenerar em males psicotalógicos

Frankreich / Provence - Roussillon

 

Roussillon (French pronunciation: [ʁusijɔ̃]; Occitan: Rossilhon) is a commune in the Vaucluse department of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in Southeastern France. It is a member of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France (The Most Beautiful Villages of France) Association. Roussillon lies within the borders of the Natural Regional Park of Luberon. In the French natural regional parks system, new economic activities may be developed only if they are sustainable.

 

It is noted for its large ochre deposits found in the clay surrounding the village. Ochres are pigments ranging from yellow and orange to red. One of the former ochre quarries can be visited via the "Sentier des Ocres" (Ochre Path), a walk of either 30 or 60 minutes through the old workings.

 

Geography

 

The village stands on an ochre ridge, situated in a broad valley with the "Monts du Vaucluse" to the north and the "Petit" Luberon to the south. The nearest railway station is in Cavaillon; the nearest TGV station is in Avignon.

 

The river Calavon forms part of the commune's southern border.

 

Geology

 

Roussillon is famous for the rich deposits of ochre pigments found in the clay near the village. The large quarries of Roussillon were mined from the end of the 18th century until 1930. Thousands of people found work in the quarries and factories. Nowadays the mining of ochre is prohibited here, in order to protect the sites from degradation or even complete destruction.

 

Mining ochre

 

During the 18th century, increasing demand for pigments in the textile industry led to intensified mining of ochres in Roussillon. Numerous quarries and ochre factories, some of which can still be seen today, were situated near the village. One example of an ochre factory, the "Usine Mathieu", is named for the family that owned it from 1870 to 1901. It has been formed into a "Conservatoire": a workshop serving as a museum. The quarries and factories were established in the villages of Roussillon, Villars, Gargas, Rustrel (with its Colorado provençal) and Gignac.

 

During the 20th century, mining techniques were modernized, which meant that more profitable ochre mines became exploitable. This resulted in a gradual closing-down of ochre mines in and around Roussillon. From the 1980s, tourism has replaced the ochre industry as a source of income.

 

Agriculture

 

Apart from tourism, agriculture is the commune's principal activity. Fruit, including cherries, peaches and melons are grown. Much of this is used in crystallized fruit production in nearby Apt. Wine-making is very important and there are several wineries producing red, rosé, and white wines within the Ventoux AOC.

 

Literary and other cultural references

 

The Irish writer Samuel Beckett went into hiding from the Nazis in Roussillon during the years 1942–1945. His novel Watt was written there, and Beckett mentioned the village in his famous play Waiting for Godot (En attendant Godot) (1955).

 

Film director Henri Colpi shot this movie Heureux qui comme Ulysse (1970) with Fernandel as the leading character in Roussillon; Georges Brassens wrote a chanson for the film.

 

Under the name of Peyrane, Roussillon is the subject of Laurence Wylie, Village in the Vaucluse (first edition 1957.)

 

Roussillon is the setting of Susan Vreeland's 2015 novel, Lisette's List, about a young couple who move from Paris to Roussillon in 1937 to live with the husband's aging grandfather, an ochre miner and pigment salesman, who owns several post-impressionist paintings.

 

The village gave its name to a Michelin-starred restaurant in London.

 

(Wikipedia)

 

Roussillon [ʀusiˈjɔ̃] ist eine südfranzösische Gemeinde im Département Vaucluse in der Region Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur. Sie gehört zum Arrondissement Apt und zum Kanton Apt. Das Gemeindegebiet gehört zum Regionalen Naturpark Luberon.

 

Die Kleinstadt mit 1.318 Einwohnern (Stand 1. Januar 2022) liegt am Fuße des Luberon-Massivs und ist als eines der Plus beaux villages de France (schönste Dörfer Frankreichs) klassifiziert.

 

Wirtschaft

 

Bekannt ist der Ort vor allem durch seine ockerhaltige rote Erde, die als Rohstoff zur Herstellung von Farben verwendet wird. Hier bauten bereits die Römer, die das Dorf vicus russulus (rotes Dorf) nannten, Ocker ab. Roussillon war bis zum Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts Zentrum des Ockerabbaus, der bis 1930 noch betrieben wurde. Heute existiert nur noch eine Farbenfabrik zur Besichtigung (Ancienne Usine Mathieu). Ferner liegt am Ortsrand der Sentier des Ocres, der Ockerlehrpfad.

 

Die Weinberge im Umland von Roussillon gehören zur Appellation Côtes du Ventoux. Mehr als 120.000 Besucher jährlich und der Tourismus bestimmen heute das Leben der Gemeinde.

 

Persönlichkeiten

 

Zwischen 1942 und 1945 versteckte sich Samuel Beckett (1906–1989) in Roussillon vor der deutschen Wehrmacht und setzte der Stadt in seinem Theaterstück Warten auf Godot ein Denkmal.

 

1950 kam der amerikanische Soziologe Laurence Wylie (1909–1996) nach Roussillon und lebte ein Jahr lang hier, um die Gemeinschaft des abgelegenen Dorfes zu studieren. Aus seinen Beobachtungen machte Wylie ein Buch mit dem Titel Dorf in der Vaucluse (Erstausgabe 1957). Im Buch nannte er das Dorf „Peyrane“, gemeint war aber Roussillon.

Para todos aquellos que aman la fotografía y sienten su belleza más allá de los intereses personales,

Mi piace la gente che sa ascoltare il vento sulla propria pelle, sentire gli odori delle cose, catturarne l'anima. Quelli che hanno la carne a contatto con la carne del mondo.

Perché lì c'è verità, lì c'è dolcezza, lì c'è sensibilità, lì c'è ancora amore.

Flickr very slow, sorry.

Thanks for visit, have a great day.

Le Luberon, champs de lavande

Rectangular pincushion made of natural linen & a piece of a (salvaged) vintage (must be from the 70's or 80's) provençal shirt (by Souleiado, a southern-french old clothe & home linen brand), on one side. Yellow linen on the other side. Cream crochet lace. I handstamped the word "Provence" (southern region of France) on cream cotton tape.

Yeah okay Strawberry called it the "Then and Now" challenge but my left side is my best side so nobody tells me what to do least of all Berry.

Challenge details here, you should take part too!

 

The 2009 is painful, isn't it? The elder picture is the very first one I took for my long defunct blog In Cold Blood close to ten years ago. I had been blogging for Rezzable when I was their PR - hey who remembers them! Greenies, Black Swan, all that? - before this but was eventually persuaded by friends to foist my untamed attempts at being unique on the greater public.

 

I've spent a lot of time reminiscing over it and cleaning out the worst of the cringe as as you tend to do when Flickr locks your uploads when it's a new year but I'm going to leave that one intact. I still love this Vampire coat from Amerie's and I found today that it's survived all of my purges to date, so when baked on mesh is a real thing you had better believe I'll be wearing it again.

 

I deliberately kept to the same general colour scheme and vampy theme for my 2019 outfit. Generally flat lighting and background to match the older one. Fangs eventually receded back behind the lips; believe me there was a very good reason they were out and proud for the first few years. That reason being to prove Tenshi Vielle wrong.* White hair and pale eyes have remained static over the 11 years I've been on Winter except for that one tantrum I threw about 7 years ago when I dyed my hair pink and shaved off my brows for a good six months.

 

Don't go looking for that please. Just... don't.

  

*AHAHAHAH it worked too so suck it Vielle

   

To me, this is the best season to visit Provence….Unfortunately, I can’t go there this year…But, every night, when I lay down on my bed, I smell it thanks to the Lavender Pillow that I’ve got from one of the smallest villages in Provence…. To the memory of my lovely Provence, I initiated a new photo series: Missing Provence. Within that project, every day I will share a photo that I took from my previous trips….to send my regards and love there…to nice people embellishing everything, to lavender soul and to its magic… Here is the 8th one… I miss you Provence… BeNowMeHere, Provence, France, 2015 via 500px bit.ly/29JLKJZ
