The Pietrosu Rodnei Biosphere Reserve is located near Borsa and Moisei with an area of 3300 ha and includes the northern part of the Rodna Mountains. The 3300 ha of the reserve occupies the alpine void and the coniferous forests or mixture of the Pietrosu Rodnei Massif in which the Pietrosu Mare peak with a height of 2303 meters is noted. The limits of the Pietrosu Rodnei area are formed in the North from the Culmea of the Boundary and the White Stone in the East and North-East of the Rhône Valley. In the South the delimitation is made by the Mount of Horpsum and the formation Jneapanu Elders-Râpi and in the West of Valea Izvoru Dragoș

Mankinjoki river rapids in autumn. The river is not big and especially here at its rapids in Espoonkartano village, the water has to rush down in a quite narrow riverbed through boulders and decayed tree trunks.

Ricordo profumi lontani
desideri ingenui ed ignari
nessuna paura mi scalfiva
nessuna malizia la mente arroventava
senza incubi sognavo
teneramente il cuor mio gioiva,
Scaltro e sincero
attraverso il sentiero
stretto e cupo
senza paura dell'inganno.
Ostentata malinconia improvvisa ...
senza chiedere un giorno mi rapì
mi strappò alla spensieratezza
Dolori e domande senza risposta
inganni e amore irruppero
L'aquilone
ormai è volato via ...
mi resta solo
una dolce e triste nostalgia ...
(Giacomo Scimonelli)
****
I remember distant scents
Naive and unaware desires
No fear scolded me
No malice the mind fluttered
Without nightmares I dreamed
Tenderly my heart rejoiced,
Sly and sincere
Through the path
Tight and dark
Without fear of deceit.
Suddenly melancholy ostentation ...
Without asking one day it kidnapped me
I was ripped of care
Uncommon pains and questions without answers
Deceit and love burst
The kite
Now flown away ...
Only left
A sweet and sad nostalgia ...
(Giacomo Scimonelli)
Saat memotret gadis kecil ini, seketika aku dihadapkan kembali pada sketsa diri masa kecil. Saat poni yang menutupi alis ditata rapi oleh ibu.
Mbahku dulu berpesan, kalau pagi dahulukan menyapu halaman depan dulu. biarin lantai dalam rumah masih kotor berantakan, yang penting halaman depan terlihat bersih dan rapi dulu, biar sedap dipandang tetangga yang lewat depan rumah.
Memang, ketidaksempurnaan atau kekurangan dalam rumah jangan sampai ada orang lain yang tahu, biarlah orang lain hanya tahu bahwa keluarga kita baik baik saja.... gak perlu diobral aib keluarga ke luar. Begitu maksud filosofi yang kutangkap

"Suasana di kota santri
Asyik senangkan hati
Suasana di kota santri
Asik senangkan hati
Tiap pagi dan sore hari
Muda mudi berbusana rapi
Menyandang kitab suci
Hilir mudik silih berganti
Pulang pergi mengaji"
Tapi di hari Jum'at
Saat para santri pergi ke Masjid untuk menunaikan sholat Jum'at
Santrwati-nya malah: jeng-jeng!!!!
*1/2 pengalaman pribadi* ----> coba tebak 1/2-nya itu yang bagian mana ya??? :p

The circumstances in the city of santri
# santri = student who learn in Islamic boarding school
# santriwati = female santri

(www.youtube.com/watch?v=63z9PLNmEqQ):
"The circumstances in the city of santri
fun and make heart happy
The circumstances in the city of santri
fun and make heart happy
Every morning and afternoon
Young people dressed neatly
Bring Qur'an the book of holy
Walk alternately
Go and back to recite and learn"
But on Friday
When the santri went to the mosque for Friday's pray
The santrwati instead: going to hangout!!
* 1 / 2 personal experience * -----> guess please: which part of half??? o:-)

Here's another post from Saturday morning at Fort Baker. Although I was there for sunrise, I didn't actually see the sun rise. In fact, I didn't even see the sun. Because the fog was so heavy up top, I went down below the bridge to Fort Baker and luckily there was a partial view of the bridge. Having never been there before, and sunrise rapily approaching, Ididn't really have time to scout any comps, so I parked myself on the pier with one or two other photographers, and a couple of fisherman and snapped away until it was light out.
Oh, and one more thing... If you ever want to find every single spec of dust on your sensor, and lens, just shoot into the fog with a tight aperture... Argh... LOTS of spot healing and cloning on this one.
Thanks for taking a look!

Autobianchi is een Italiaans automerk, dat vanaf 1955 auto's produceerde. Autobianchi komt voort uit het Milanese Bianchi en de productie is min of meer overgenomen door Lancia, nadat FIAT het merk zelf al in 1967 had overgenomen.
Autobianchi werd in 1955 opgericht om de productie in de fabriek in Desio veilig te stellen, en het kapitaal werd voor een derde deel opgebracht door FIAT, een ander deel door Bianchi en het laatste derde deel door bandenfabrikant Pirelli.
Bianchina
De Autobianchi Bianchina was het eerste product van de fabrikant en was gebaseerd op de beproefde techniek van de FIAT 500. Ook bij deze auto was het kleine halve litertje achterin geplaatst. De auto werd geleverd in verschillende uitvoeringen, waaronder Panoramica (dakraam), Cabriolet en zelfs een licht vrachtwagentje.

[edit] Bianchina
Main article: Bianchina
Bianchina Trasformabile SpecialThe first car to be produced by the new company was the Bianchina, whose name was a tribute to Edoardo Bianchi's first 1899 car. The Bianchina was based on Fiat 500 mechanicals – with its two-cylinder, air cooled engine mounted in the rear – but featured a completely new stylish body designed by Luigi Rapi, who was in charge of Fiat's special body unit and helped to set up production in Desio. With many premium design and equipment features, the Bianchina emerged as an upscale minicar, slotting above the Fiat 500 in the market. Marketed as a "second vehicle in the household", and a luxurious "recreational vehicle", also being targeted at affluent middle-class women, it mirrored the increasing affluence in Italian society.
The first Bianchina rolled from the production lines in Desio on September 11, 1957 and had the unusual body style of a two-door landaulet, called "Trasformabile". It remained the sole body style until 1960, when a two-door "Cabriolet" was introduced, followed by a three-door estate version, the "Panoramica" and a two-door saloon, the "Berlina". Finally, two van versions were launched: one resembling a two-seater version of the Panoramica, and another, with a raised and expanded cargo section.
The Bianchina Panoramica was technically based on the estate version of the Fiat 500: the Giardiniera.
The Bianchina series was designed by Luigi Rapi (1902- ).
The first series had a roll-top. From 1962 a steel roof was also available.
This Panoramica is parked here at least since Sept. 2021. It was for sale now.

If the existence of a Berlin Wall memorial in Rapid City seems random, well, that’s mostly because it is. There was no particular motivation for bringing a piece of the wall to the city, other than a whim, according to the man who made it happen. “It was just a neat thing for us to have out here,” 81-year-old Dale Clement recalled this week. The pieces of the wall were installed in Memorial Park in 1996. Its roots lie in a mid-1990s traveling Berlin Wall exhibit that came to the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology. Clement, who was then an executive at Black Hills Corp., played host to a man who was associated with the exhibit. After the exhibit, Clement took a call from Gale Holbrook, who was then a Pennington County commissioner. Holbrook suggested that since the traveling exhibit had been so successful, perhaps Clement should buy a piece of the wall for permanent display in Rapid City. Clement called his contact with the traveling exhibit, and soon he was the owner of a Berlin Wall segment and a pair of tank traps. The purchase price, he recalls, was a few thousand dollars. Others soon joined the effort to display the newly acquired items, including Paul Reinke, who was an early partner in the project with Clement. The privately financed memorial was erected with interpretive panels and eventually turned over to city ownership. And that’s how Rapid City’s Berlin Wall Memorial came to stand in Memorial Park near the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center. Clement said it’s a fitting place for a tribute to freedom, given Rapid City’s proximity to the Shrine of Democracy (Mount Rushmore) and also to Ellsworth Air Force Base, which contributed bombers to the 1940s Berlin Airlift humanitarian mission. Clement said it is freedom he will think about this weekend on the 25th anniversary of the Berlin Wall’s collapse. “You can tie people up,” Clement said, “but they also have to come free at some time.”

1952 Fiat Zagato SpiderCar S-01 Michelle & Steve Wolf, Wayland, Massachusetts - Only One of this Kind!!
This Fiat 8V (number 000005) is one of the six prototype 8V cars hand-built by the factory. It originally left the a factory fitted with a Rapi body and was run in the 1952 Mille Miglia. The second owner commissioned Zagato to create a stylish barchetta body with no windows to race in the Sport Class. In 1953 it returned to the Mille Miglia
wearing its new Zagato spider body. Just a onth after the Mille, the 8V crashed and flipped over at the Giro di Sardegna and the driver was tragically killed. Since the chassis and engine were largely intact, the car was sent back to Zagato to craft a new body for the car. Zagato made only one more minor modification to the front end in 1955, which is the current body on the car. Number 000005 is the only Otto Vu Zagato Spider ever produced, making this car
a one-off car.

The Fiat 1200 TV was the successor of the 1955-57 1100 TV Spider with a very identical body. Some sources say that Pininfarina was the designer. Others say it was styled by Fabio Luigi Rapi. I believe this is correct. Pininfarina was responsible for the Fiat 1220 Cabriolet which had a more flattened windshield. It replaced this 1200 TV.
For the domestic market this Fiat 1200 cabriolet was called 'Trasformabile'. For foreign countries 'Spider' was used. TV stands for 'Turismo Veloce'.
Note the characteristic panoramic windshield.

A short while ago when 'my' trusty Javelin was being prepared for its latest MoT, it was necessary to borrow a bus off another local operator. His fleet contains three or four coaches, a couple of reasonably high value, and this Optare Tempo service bus. He'd acquired it to perform rail replacement as it ticked the PSVAR requirements in the way that half (or more) of his small, more luxurious fleet didn't.
I'd borrowed a coach for odd days whilst we awaited a test date for the Javelin but was keen to try this bus (I've always preferred buses and DPs for school contract work). Unfortunately I was a tad underwhelmed, some details of which I can't discuss here. One of the more amusing aspects (other than for a blind which wouldn't move off 'Rail Replacement) was the on-board computer which apparently measured my competence as a driver. It gave me a numerical score as I made my way around my usual tortuous circuit (about which the Javelin doesn't complain), with the computer marking me down severely for having the audacity to climb the three quarters of a mile of 1:8 to 1:6 incline I need to reach my third pick-up. Even coming downhill with my foot off the gas, around twisting bends and rapily changing cambers, down went my score further. I'm convinced that back in its old life, when the depot computer produced its findings, I'd have been summoned to the office! My interest in the bus has peaked I'm afraid.

Jacob Jordaens (Antwerp, May 19, 1593 - Antwerp, October 18, 1678) - The Rape of Europa (1615-1616) oil on canvas 172.6 x 236.2 cm - Gemäldegalerie, Berlin
Jacob Jordaens (1593-1678) fu senza dubbio il terzo pittore di storia più importante di Anversa dopo Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) e Anthonis van Dyck (1599-1641). Il dipinto del "Rapimento d'Europa" è una delle sue prime opere maggiori.
Il mito del rapimento dell'Europa da parte di Giove è stata tramandata da Ovidio nel secondo libro delle sue Metamorfosi.
Il re degli dei, innamorato di Europa, assunse le sembianze di un toro e si mescolò alla mandria del re Agenore di Fenicia. Piena di ammirazione per la sua bellezza e cordialità, Europa montò sul dorso bianco come la neve del toro e incoronò la sua testa con una corona di fiori. A quel punto Giove la rapì e nuotò con lei fino all'isola di Creta, dove assunse di nuovo nella sua vera forma.
Jacob Jordaens (1593-1678) was undoubtedly the third most important Antwerp history painter after Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) and Anthonis van Dyck (1599-1641). The painting of the "Abduction of Europe" is one of his earliest major works.
The myth of the abduction of Europa by Jupiter was handed down by Ovid in the second book of his Metamorphoses.
The king of the gods, in love with Europa, took the form of a bull and mingled with the herd of King Agenor of Phoenicia. Full of admiration for her beauty and friendliness, Europa mounted the snow-white back of the bull and crowned his head with a crown of flowers. At that point Jupiter abducted her and swam with her to the island of Crete, where she assumed her true form again.

Es thront auf einem felsigen Sporn, welcher ein weites Stück in den Zürichsee vorstösst und von drei Seiten von Wasser umgeben ist. So ist das Schloss natürlich geschützt und dominiert die darunter liegende Altstadt.
Rapperswil Castle (Swiss German: Schloss Rapperswil) is a castle, built in the early 13th century AD by the House of Rapperswil in the former independent city of Rapperswil.
The Bianchina Berlina was technically based on the Fiat 500. It was designed by Luigi Rapi.
In 1959 this Bianchina Special was launched. It was a kind of coupé. It looks like it has a roll roof like the Trasformabile.
