You say you want a Revolution
We all want to change the World
*Be Careful what you wish for. The minute you change history, erase where we have come from, you change everything you have today. You change everything our ancestors fought for, you change freedom** Tune....♪
The clocks turned - Earth reassuringly continued to rotate, and apparently "Seconds" even leapt.
Regardless - 2017 arrived right on time.

Our National Day in France !
The firework was shooted from Carcassonne Castle. Try once, you won't be disappointed :)
In Lissabon wurden zum 40. Jahrestag der Nelkenrevolution auf der Praça do Comércio große, beeindruckende Fotos aufgestellt. Die dargestellten Ereignisse des 25. April 1974 sind genau an den Fotostandorten passiert. Die Bauten im Hintergrund existieren noch und so kann man sich das Geschehen gut vorstellen.
Die Passantin konnte sich sicher auch noch gut an die Ereignisse des Umsturzes erinnern. Und sie wird wissen, ob er tatsächlich so spontan und friedlich verlief, wie oft behauptet wird.
In Lisbon, on the 40th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution, large, impressive photos were placed on the Praça do Comércio. The depicted events of April 25, 1974 happened exactly at the photo locations. The buildings in the background still exist and so one can easily imagine what happened.
The passerby could surely remember the events of the coup very well. And she will know if it really happened as spontaneously and peacefully as is often claimed.
I wish her shirt's message was clearer but, either way, I enjoyed the tenderness between mother and child.

One of the reasons I live on a 7,000 foot saddle between Utah and Colorado is that the winter sun shines longer than in the valleys I've lived in most of my adult life. We don't get the deep winter shadows and temperature inversions that plague Moab or Logan that caused cabin fever.
The sound interrupted by unknown armies
They make the petals of the now closed flowers tremble
The once free branches
They descend tangled to the ground, touching the unsafe ground
Ravens in love have left the nest that, naked,
he remains defenseless without a voice
the light that filters still asks in confusion why
so much fear and so much silence
someone, but I don't know who, answers in a weak but clear voice
indignant: the Revolution!

Cromford Mill, the world’s first successful water powered cotton spinning mill, was built in 1771 by Sir Richard Arkwright.
From then until around 1790, he continued to develop the mills, warehouses and workshops, which now form the Cromford Mills site. Considered as a whole, it presents a remarkable picture of an early textile factory complex.
Sir Richard Arkwright’s invention of the waterframe to spin cotton transformed the manufacture of cotton into England’s major industry and created a system of factory production that spread throughout the world. The cotton industry was a cornerstone of the industrial revolution.
Arkwright took out a patent for his waterframe in 1769 and moved from Preston to Nottingham to set up a horse powered mill to run his machines. Driven by the need for more power he searched for a site to build a water powered mill and settled upon Cromford, using the Bonsall Brook and the Cromford Sough. In 1771 he set about building the first mill here.
In the next few years, the site grew rapidly, and Arkwright needed to attract more workers to the area; he expanded Cromford Village with the building of Derbyshire’s first row of planned industrial housing on North Street in 1776. Arkwright later built the marketplace, the Greyhound Hotel, and further housing for his growing workforce to create the village you see today

In order to “read” the photo, and for the non-portuguese:
Yesterday Portuguese celebrated the 1974 25th April revolution, which ended the dictatorship regime that lasted throughout several decades.
Caía la tarde en la marisma y la orilla del estero ya estaba en sombra. Este correlimos menudo ( Calidris minuta) venia de bañarse en la zona soleada. La poca luz de la orilla me obligaba a disparar con mucho menos velocidad de obturación para poder retratarlo pero las sacudidas son increíblemente rápidas, incluso para buenas condiciones de luz. El resultado me pareció curioso.

Evening was falling on the marsh and the shore of the estuary was already in shadow. This little stint (Calidris minuta) came from bathing in the sunny area. The low light on the shore forced me to shoot with a much slower shutter speed in order to capture it, but the shake is incredibly fast, even for good lighting conditions. The result seemed curious to me.
