Northern Gannets are monogamous and mate for life, very much like albatrosses. Pairs form, and renew their bonds, at the breeding colony, called a gannetry, which may contain thousands of pairs in close proximity to each other. Young birds also return to the colony in their second or third year, forming “clubs” of birds that rest together and begin to learn the local fishing routes. Males begin to claim a breeding site in a colony in their third or fourth year, shaking their head side to side frequently, biting the nest site itself, and stretching the neck toward females that show interest. Clashes between males over nest sites can be intense, with bills locked and much pushing at the cliff edge; injuries are not uncommon. Once partnered, male and female greet each other at the nest site each time they reunite, the males shaking the head, the females offering the nape for the male to nibble. They also engage in so-called “mutual fencing,” wherein they face each other, often touching, calling, shaking heads side to side as their bills clack together, bowing, and finally preening each other’s neck. Both parents care for and feed the young, taking turns on fishing excursions that may last several days. Both sexes defend the nest and chicks aggressively against other gannets, using threat displays such as jabbing with the bill.

I updated my head to Catwa HDPRO, and could not be happier. There are so many more options of tweaking and adjusting in these new and modern heads. It took me quite some time to get the look "right", so it feels like 'me', but now finally there.

We've gotten so much rain lately, that, between the rain and high heat, I've been pretty much homebound. Keeping myself contented by going through the archives and processing photos that I didn't like enough the first time around... :)

♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥
Who like you could be so free,
with that slow and calm freedom
with which you are forming!
You remain, but you are renewed,
you are well rooted, but you grow,
and you conquer the sky without defeat,
owner of your beginning and your ends.

I propose here, on Flickr, a photographic story, with descriptive text, of a traditional Sicilian popular festival that is always highly anticipated, it takes place in the town of Fiumedinisi (Messina), in the last 18 years what is called the "Great Feast" has been celebrated only 3 times, always on the second Sunday of August, it was celebrated in 2007, in 2016, this year 2025, in all three editions I took photographs, those that I now present are almost all of the "Great Feast" of this year 2025. The town of Fiumedinisi is inextricably linked to her patron saint, Our Lady of the Annunciation, every year a traditional procession is held on March 24th and 25th, on the 24th the procession is made by the faithful on their knees, they carry a large lit candle with which they help themselves to support themselves, it takes place along a straight path in what is called "street of float" (it joins two churches), the next day there is another traditional procession, the two "Sacred Float," that of the Our Lady of the Annunciation and that of the Archangel Gabriel, are carried on the shoulders, followed by the faithful, through the narrow streets of the town. Then comes the "Great Feast" in August, also linked to the Annunciation, which occurs every year after many years. It is on Christmas Eve that it is announced whether that year will be the year of the Great Feast. At Christmas, "the Son of Man" is born, incarnated in Mary's womb. It is the Archangel Gabriel who announces to Mary the conception of the Son of the Most High. The iconography of the Sacred Representations depicts him kneeling before her, offering her a lily, a symbol of Mary's purity. The "Great Feast" in August has ancient origins dating back to the 16th century, the period of Spanish rule in Sicily. It was initially celebrated on March 25th, the religious feast of the Annunciation of the Lord. Later, towards the end of the 19th century, it was moved to August to allow the many emigrants from all over the world to attend. In short, the "Great Feast" includes a "morning procession" led by three young men who will impersonate the three main characters on the "living float"—the Mary, the Archangel Gabriel, and the Eternal Father. Around 11:00 a.m., the "Great Living Float," a very heavy object carried on shoulders, will make its first journey along the "street of float" (the one traveled on one's knees in March, but also on the eve of the Great Feast) with the barefoot bearers in ordinary clothing. In the afternoon, many boys and girls dressed as angels take their places on special seats on the "Great Living Float", the "three characters" (the Mary, the Archangel Gabriel, and the "Eternal Father" at the top) take their places. Now the Great Float will make the same journey in reverse, carried on the shoulders of devotee-bearers dressed entirely in white, barefoot, thus arriving in the square in front of the church-sanctuary dedicated to Maria SS Annunziata. Once the journey has finished and the Float has been placed on the ground, the ceremony includes, and ends, with an ancient dialect song sung by the children, with microphones, who dress up as Mary and the Archangel Gabriel. A curiosity, this "Great Float", an enormous metal and wood structure, extremely heavy, requires perfect coordination between the bearers. It is essential to raise and lower it in perfect synchrony, with all its "inhabitants" atop it. It is therefore crucial to avoid any oscillations that would be transmitted to the children seated at various heights, and to the Eternal Father, seated very high up. The moments preceding the float's departure, and those following its arrival, are of great concentration, silence is absolute, the launch occurs at the third blow of the hammer, all the devotee-bearers rise in perfect synchrony and "the magic comes to life"...! The Great Machine travels the "street of float" upon its arrival, there is maximum silence, and at the third blow of the hammer the devotee-bearers lower themselves, placing the incredible Living Float on the ground, renewing before our eyes an event of beauty and absolute wonder, the unique magic of an ancient Sicilian feast tradition.

Propongo qui, su Flickr, un racconto fotografico, con testo descrittivo, di una festa tradizionale popolare siciliana sempre molto attesa, si svolge nel paese di Fiumedinisi (Messina), negli ultimi 18 anni quella che è chiamata la “Festa Grande” si è celebrata solo 3 volte, sempre la seconda domenica di agosto, è stata celebrata nel 2007, nel 2016, quest’anno 2025, in tutte e tre le edizioni ho realizzato fotografie, quelle che ora presento sono quasi tutte della “Festa Grande” di quest’anno 2025. Il paese di Fiumedinisi è indissolubilmente legato alla sua santa patrona, Maria SS. Annunziata, ogni anno si tiene una tradizionale processione il 24 e 25 marzo, il 24 la processione viene fatta dai fedeli in ginocchio, essi recano una grossa candela accesa con la quale si aiutano nel sostenersi, si svolge lungo un percorso rettilineo in quella che è chiamata “strada vara” (unisce due chiese), il giorno dopo si ha un’altra processione, classica, le due “Sacre Vare”, quella di Maria SS. Annunziata e quella dell’Arcangelo Gabriele, vengono portate in spalla, seguite dai fedeli, nelle stradine del paese; poi la “Festa Grande” di agosto, legata anch’essa all’Annunciazione, che avviene ogni volta dopo molti anni: è la notte di Natale che si annuncia se quello sarà l’anno della Festa Grande, a Natale nasce “il Figlio dell’Uomo” incarnatosi nel ventre materno di Maria, è l’Arcangelo Gabriele che annuncia a Maria il concepimento del Figlio dell’Altissimo, l’iconografia delle Sacre Rappresentazioni lo raffigura inginocchiarsi al cospetto di Lei porgendole un giglio, simbolo della purezza di Maria. La “Festa Grande” di agosto ha origini antiche che risalgono al XVI secolo, periodo della dominazione spagnola in Sicilia, essa inizialmente veniva celebrata il 25 marzo, con la ricorrenza religiosa dell’Annunciazione del Signore, successivamente verso la fine del XIX secolo venne spostata ad agosto, per consentire ai molti emigrati, provenienti da ogni dove, di potervi assistere. In maniera sintetica, la “Festa Grande” prevede una “processione mattutina” con in testa i tre ragazzi che impersoneranno sulla “vara vivente” i tre principali personaggi, la Maria, l’Arcangelo Gabriele ed il Padre Eterno; verso le ore 11:00 la “Grande Vara Vivente”, pesantissima, portata in spalla farà un primo viaggio lungo la “strada vara” (quella che viene percorsa in ginocchio a marzo, ma anche la vigilia della Festa Grande) con i portatori scalzi, in abiti comuni; il pomeriggio sulla “Grande Vara Vivente” prendono posto su appositi seggiolini tanti bimbi e bimbe, vestiti da angeli, prendono posto i “tre personaggi” (Maria, l’Arcangelo Gabriele, in alto prende posto il “Padre Eterno”), adesso la Grande Vara farà lo stesso percorso inverso, portata sulle spalle dei devoti-portatori vestiti completamente di bianco, scalzi, così giungendo nella piazza davanti la chiesa-santuario dedicata a Maria SS Annunziata, terminato il percorso e deposta a terra la vara, la cerimonia prevede, e termina, con un antico canto dialettale intonato dai ragazzi, microfonati, che vestono i panni di Maria e dell’Arcangelo Gabriele. Una “curiosità”, questa “Vara Ranni” (dialettalmente, Vara Grande), enorme struttura in metallo e legno, pesantissima, necessita di una perfetta coordinazione tra i portatori, è fondamentale alzarla ed abbassarla in perfetto sincronismo, con sopra tutti i suoi “abitanti”, importantissimo quindi evitare qualsiasi oscillazione che si trasmetterebbe sui bimbi seduti a varie altezze, ed al Padre Eterno, seduto molto in alto: gli attimi che precedono la partenza della vara, e quelli che fanno seguito all’arrivo sono di grande concentrazione, il silenzio è massimo, la partenza avviene al terzo colpo di martello, tutti i devoti-portatori si alzano in perfetta sincronia e “la magia prende vita”…! La Grande Macchina percorre la “strada vara”, al suo arrivo, silenzio massimo, al terzo colpo di martello i devoti-portatori si abbassano deponendo a terra quella incredibile Vara Vivente che rinnova davanti ai nostri occhi un evento fatto di bellezza ed assoluta meraviglia, magia unica di una antica tradizione popolare Siciliana.

The artistic reputation of Léon Spilliaert (1881-1946) has increased considerably in recent years. Not helped or hindered (cross out what is desired) by academic training, he developed a unique style in which he balances painting and drawing. The fact that he paints with Indian ink is already challenging, the subtle addition of colored pencil is completely unusual.
Spilliaert's depictions are highly symbolic (see also previous post in this stream). In a late ink painting like 'Firebreak between the firs' the year is important to understand the scope. In 1944, the last year of the Second World War, Hitler's defeat was already looming, but the end was bitter. Hunger, cold and the death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers preceded peace.
This exhibition in The Hague builds a bridge between Léon Spilliaert and Dirk Braeckman, who never knew each other. What is that bridge? “That is visualizing what you cannot see,” says curator Thijs de Raedt. “Both are nocturnal animals that intuitively head for the magic of deep black.”
The fact that we now see similarities between the two artists also has to do with the revaluation of symbolism and Spilliaert in particular. In the 1970s, there was a renewed sensitivity to indeterminate and uncanny places. In Belgium, a victim of two World Wars, people are perhaps more receptive to that than elsewhere.
Rio Grande GP40-2 No. 3103 leads a quartet of big Southern Pacific EMDs through Sutro Cut near Spanish Fork, Utah on Oct. 23, 1983. The Union Pacific had recently merged with the Missouri Pacific and Western Pacific, giving the D&RGW and SP a renewed freight hauling partnership that lasted until the SP merged with the UP in 1996.
These are my places, these are my moments to lay bear my fears, my wants my desires. To confess my shortcomings my loves my hates. There are no limits, there is no judgement only the solice and peace of the morning. Renewed with the rising of the Sun I can start my day anew.

This is my last post on this network. Tomorrow my subscription to the pro version ends and I am not going to renew it. A few days ago I decided not to pay to display my work, so I will also disappear from X when my blue label expires, if not before given the controversy that surrounds this other network since a careless child with an adult body put it at his service and that of even more spurious interests. It has been a real pleasure, and an honour, sharing my work for six years with so many virtual friends who have appreciated it selflessly. I say goodbye to you with sincere affection and gratitude. My account will remain open here, as a virtual portfolio, with the captures that the server wants to keep and whose number I do not know, since right now it exceeds the limit stipulated for a regular account. You will find me in other places in the profile @joanlopezphoto. Best wishes for you all, Flickr friends.
Aquest és la meva darrera publicació en aquesta xarxa. Demà m'expira la subscripció a la versió pro i no la renovaré. Fa uns dies vaig decidir no tornar a pagar per exhibir la meva feina, per la qual cosa també desapareixeré d'X quan caduqui la refumuda insígnia blava, si no abans donada la polèmica que envolta aquesta altra xarxa des que un nen desaprensiu amb cos d'adult la va posar al seu servei i al d'interessos encara més espuris. Ha estat un autèntic plaer, i un honor, compartir la meva feina durant sis anys amb tants amics i tantes amigues virtuals que l'heu apreciada desinteressadament. M'acomiado de tothom amb agraïment i afecte sincers. El meu compte romandrà aquí obert, a manera de portafolis digital, amb les captures que el servidor vulgui conservar, el número de les quals desconec, ja que ara mateix supera el límit estipulat per a un compte regular. Em trobareu en altres llocs amb el perfil @joanlopezphoto. Fins sempre, amics i amigues de Flickr.
Este es mi último post en esta red. Mañana expira mi suscripción a la versión pro y no la voy a renovar. Hace unos días decidí no volver a pagar por exhibir mi trabajo, por lo que también desapareceré de X cuando caduque la dichosa insignia azul, si no antes dada la polémica que rodea a esta otra red desde que un niño desaprensivo con cuerpo de adulto la puso a su servicio y al de intereses todavía más espurios. Ha sido un auténtico placer, y un honor, compartir mi trabajo durante seis años con tantos amigos y tantas amigas virtuales que lo habéis apreciado desinteresadamente. Me despido de todos y todas con agradecimiento y afecto sinceros. Mi cuenta permanecerá aquí abierta, a modo de portafolio virtual, con las capturas que el servidor quiera conservar y cuyo número desconozco, puesto que ahora mismo supera el límite estipulado para una cuenta regular. Me hallaréis en otros lugares con el perfil @joanlopezphoto. Hasta siempre, amigos y amigas de Flickr.
