Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular from Jackolantern Spectacular
“…one of the most brilliant displays of holiday artistry anywhere in the U.S.”
Presented by Citizens Bank ©
The acclaimed Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular presented by Citizens Bank will return this October 3 through November 3 with a breathtaking display of 5,000 illuminated jack-o-lanterns representing regions of the U.S.A.
Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular 2013: Pumpkinville USA
The 2013 presentation, titled Pumpkinville, USA, will delight new and repeat visitors alike. Intricate pumpkin art will represent regions of the country, highlighting their unique attributes and as well as historical and cultural landmarks of each of the states. Regions will include Heartland of America, Pacific Coast, Mid-Atlantic, New England, and Appalachian Highlands. One scene will commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation and another will honor President Kennedy.
Show standards will return, such as the childhood favorites and Halloween scenes, and the show’s dazzling grand finale, the Laughing Tree. Hundreds of glowing jack-o-lanterns on the ground and high up in the trees surround carved giants (well over 1,000 pounds) amid spooky fog and music, punctuated by its iconic catchy beat and laughter.
Crews from Passion for Pumpkins, the show creators, will spend several weeks leading up to the event creating the magical display. Then, they will work nearly around the clock throughout the 32 night run to keep the show fresh for visitors.

Ri-114 was on of the Hero Factory's experiments in combining techno-organic parts with the HF's own. This bulky, lumbering humanoid - Nicknamed 'Rilla' - was trained in the field of Hero on Villain combat, and became a strong ally... but things went wrong. He now travels the Makuherian galaxies in search of his fellow 'mix-mechs', so someday they can all fight back against the Hero Factory and take their place as the almighty race.

This is a special image. As you might know, all ships have a registration number to uniquely identify them. Within the Ringkøbing-Skjern Kommune in Danmark all numbers start with "RI". As you see in this picture, the first ever registered ship is still "alive". Over 100 years old now. It no longer realy swims but it stands there beside the administration buildings inside the grass. Waiting for the few visitors knowing about it.

The Stonewall riots were a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations by members of the gay (LGBT) community against a police raid that took place in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn (nightclub / bar / disco), located on Christopher Street in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. They are widely considered to constitute the single most important event leading to the gay liberation movement and the modern fight for LGBT rights in the United States.
Many pride events happen in the month of June to commemorate this date.

La nitidezza impressionante di certi ricordi.
Non riesco a ritrovare quella porta, ma i volti e le chiacchiere di quei giorni sono ancora lì. E' tale e quale il sapore del gelato e tali e quali le mollette di quella fotografia, quando non c'ero ancora.
La scenografia di cartone di una vita che non esiste più.
