The “Land of Levi” or at least the “Land that Levi Made Famous” pictured here early one morning in October wandering through the village trying to capture early morning light and shadow. Imagine being sentenced to live here as Carlo Levi was 80 years ago, he was a doctor, a painter, a writer and a very outspoken critic of fascism from the cosmopolitan city of Turin, the culture shock would have been massive.
The powers that be wanted Levi silenced instead they supplied him with experiences and material that created the modern Italian masterpiece “Christ Stopped in Eboli” though it would be almost a decade after time that the memoir would be published. The account details life in the poor Southern half of Italy during the 30’s painting a description of abject poverty and political indifference from the wealthy North that captured the conscience of a nation in the waning days of Mussolini’s fascism.
Aliano made a massive impression on Levi and he on the town both combined to make an interesting stop both for those that love strange scenery and those that love all things literary. Levi’s telling of the locals story gave new life to the village and attracts visitors from all over the world to see the inspiration for the novel, even Carlo after his death has become part of the attraction being buried in the local cemetery

“Leave no "full stop" in between the sentences that make up your life story. If anything, let "commas" show that when you were brought down by challenges, you rose up with passion and moved on again!”
― Israelmore Ayivor, The Great Hand Book of Quotes
My fantasy took me to the forest
And in its bottom bristling with broom.
I found a giant pine whose branches
They eclipsed the light of noon.
The old cleft trunk of him seemed
Formless reptile of rough scales,
And its cup volcano of green flames
That over land and air extended.
Under her sweet shadow reclining
In the joys I thought of existence,
And in the happiness that goes by his side:
I remembered the sentence of the years,
I tied a well-greased cord to the pine,
And I didn't strangle myself... Out of indolence!

I read some time ago "Zen Photography", the digital book from the photographer Eric Kim.
Since I readed it, there is a sentence that I always have in mind then when I make a selection to be edited and released after take a photogtaph. This is the sentence:
"... as a practical tip, let your photos sit and “marinate” for a long time, before sharing them. If you are unsure about your photos, wait a week, a month, or sometimes even a year before sharing them. The longer I usually let my photos sit, the more clarity I gain. Certain photos get better over time, and certain photos get worse over time... "
For me this is absolutely true. This photography is a good example of this principle because I thought that the original shoot wasn't good enough to be released so I waited patiently for a long time.
I have been tented to released it in many times with different kinds of edition but its been right now when I had clear how take the image a little further. I suddently tought that the original image will look better adding a symmetry of it like the reflection in a mirror surface and this was the editing I finally did.
Really feels good the waiting ;)
What a difference a Year Makes
This was December 2019 , commuting in the dark and seeing the dawn rising . as the LUAS tram passed over the M50 motorway. I have been Working From Home . since late February , this year has gone in a blur of unexpected events and lots and lots of isolation. I don't know how I feel about commuting anymore. It seems like something from a bizarre Sci-fi film now :)
We are good at adapting !

Saint George (Georgios); died 23 April 303), also George of Lydda, was a Christian who is venerated as a saint in Christianity. According to tradition he was a soldier in the Roman army. Saint George was a soldier of Cappadocian Greek origin and member of the Praetorian Guard for Roman emperor Diocletian, who was sentenced to death for refusing to recant his Christian faith. He became one of the most venerated saints and megalomartyrs in Christianity, and he has been especially venerated as a military saint since the Crusades.
Церква вшановує святого великомученика Юрія (Георгія) як переможця зла, неправди та людської люті. В іконографії він часто зображується вершником, який списом вражає змія. Це символізує його перемогу над дияволом.
Непохитна віра і мужність святого Юрія виявилися в тому, що мучителі не змогли примусити його зректися християнства. Тому цього святого часто називають Юрієм Переможцем або Георгієм Побідоносцем.
В українській традиції святий Юрій був патроном Русі, Київщини, Галичини, Володимира, Львова, Київської області, Білої Церкви, козацтва, українського війська тощо. На честь святого названий один з найбільших українських храмів — Собор святого Юра у Львові. День вшанування — 23 квітня (6 травня за григоріанським календарем).

Turning the pages a sentence caught her eyes. “A dream is a wish your heart makes”. Perhaps there was truth in those words. She had dreamed of a different life. A life with love. Surprising and unexpected love came. Time had been tough and lonely, she thought. The change was most welcoming and very invigorating.
She had felt so happy. He was a kind and charming man. Rapidly her love for him grew stronger. Every day she had longed for him like A DRIED OUT FLOWER. She had needed him like a flower needs water. So easily he had filled her heart and soul with love, hopes and dreams. She hesitated. Stop! Don't start winding yourself up. He's gone, she reminded herself. As unexpected as he came.
Her eyes brimmed with tears as she sadly realized, that she had never found the true path to his heart. Now she knew, there was no need for searching any longer. He would remain an utterly priceless treasure. In time, she hoped, the memory would be without pain. I miss you, she sighed. No, I've to forget about him, she muttered. Still she could feel him and the bond between them. She wished it would be different, but he would always be a part of her, unfortunately she knew that for a fact. Perhaps it was time for new dreams.
As New York State at a snail pace is trying to set up the legal sale of recreational Marijuana with the first dispensaries are opening up some like the owner of this van decide to take the mobile route which most certainly means a much lower overhead. What makes it ridiculous is all the billions over the last fifty plus years the US has spent arresting, prosecuting and incarcerating people for a substance that will be legal in most states in a few years. Back when I was young I knew friends that weren't as fast in outrunning the cops going to the Queens House of Dentation of even the infamous violent hellhole Riker's Island for small amounts of this drug. One nightmarish story that I remember making national news was back in the late sixties or early seventies was some poor hippie getting arrested for the possession of one joint in some dunghole redneck county being convicted by a "layman judge" who called him a pusher and was sentenced him to twenty years in prison. Never heard any follow up on that story but upon researching this there have many been such stories of someone serving such insane long terms and almost always in certain low ranking states that need not be mentioned.
Just for fun -- seeing the line up of flowers in various stages seem to form a sentence using different 'words' and 'punctuation marks'!

Take This Waltz - Leonard Cohen
[.....]
Oh I want you, I want you, I want you
On a chair with a dead magazine
In a cave at the tip of the lily
In some hallway where love's never been
On a bed where the moon has been sweating
In a cry filled with footsteps and sand
Aey, aey, aey, aey
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Take its broken waist in your hand
This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
With its very own breath of brandy and death
Dragging its tail in the sea
There's a concert hall in Vienna
Where your mouth had a thousand reviews
There's a bar where the boys have stopped talking
They've been sentenced to death by the blues
Ah but who is it climbs to your picture
With a garland of freshly cut tears?
Aey, aey, aey, aey
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Take this waltz it's been dying for years
There's an attic where children are playing
Where I've got to lie down with you soon
In a dream of Hungarian lanterns
In the mist of some sweet afternoon
And I'll see what you've chained to your sorrow
All your sheep and your lilies of snow
Aey, aey, aey, aey
Take this waltz, take this waltz
[....]
And I'll dance with you in Vienna
I'll be wearing a river's disguise
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder
My mouth on the dew of your thighs
And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook
With the photographs there, and the moss
And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty
My cheap violin and my cross
And you'll carry me down on your dancing
To the pools that you lift on your wrist
Oh my love, oh my love
Take this waltz, take this waltz
It's yours now, it's all that there is
José Carreras: "En Aranjuez con tu Amor" (Joaquín Rodrigo / youtube)
The first sentence of the play is projected onto the walls in the background. Karlos, reclining on the floor besides the record player, is listening to the same aria of the Verdi opera again and again. He tries to write a letter - he writes a line, crumbles up the paper, takes a new paper, writes, crumbles it up again and again. Domingo enters "Oh, my prince, Break this mysterious and gloomy silence!"
Verdi, Don Carlos: "io la vidi e al suo sorriso (Io l'ho perduta)" (am Anfang dieses Einstiegs hört man den Souffleur)
Auf den Wänden im Hintergrund der 1. Satz des Stückes. Karlos liegt neben dem Plattenspieler auf dem Boden, er hört immer wieder die selbe Stelle aus der Verdi Oper Don Carlos, vor ihm ein Stoß A4 Blätter, er versucht einen Brief zu schreiben - schreibt eine Zeile, zerknüllt das Papier, //: schreibt am nächsten Blatt, zerknüllt es :// Domingo kommt "Brechen Sie dies rätselhafte Schweigen...."

The stripes may mark him as the prisoner, yet the weight rests on her shoulders. His smoke drifts free into the night, while she sits bound by silence. On the steps of the Cathedral, the roles of captive and keeper quietly reverse. Shot in Cologne, Germany with a Leica M11 Mono and Summilux 50mm.
Cemeteries are often kept in pristine condition, and Mountain View illustrates that. Here, lines are created from headstones, and lead to the most brilliantly colored tree. Similar to grammar, the tree stands like a period in a sentence. And, against the green lawn, its rusty color is an eye popping stop.
The weather was a challenge that day. The rain came down in buckets, then would quickly halt. Soon after starting again, making it a fun challenge to get the shot, then race for the safety and warmth of the car.

I recently saw a couple greater white-fronted geese at a city park near Salem, Oregon. This picture is from Nisqually NWR back during the spring. So, I'm not sure why I wrote the first sentence.
Or this one.
A sentimental journey
back and forth through time
a haze sometimes
clear as crystal on other days
this is where the emotion chimes
hourly, daily, eternally perhaps?
as much as the Sun gives to life
the hidden shadows remain lost
to the extended night
only touched by reality's hurtful frost
perchance can it change at all?
or has time done enough inside
that sentence dressed in ill-fitting words
like Winter nestling in the clutch of Spring
the bane of all nature's lovebirds
herald the call with a cry
in clonos nothing can defy the truth
of intuitive feelings so vivacious
they of the free world fly in the face of our 'society'
reaching up in unison, in search of rightness...
we follow suit for justification of our ills
clarification of the wrongs within
condemnation of all others we deem below us
always in denial of our own contemptuous stance
of which none among us are truly blameless
upon this fact we at least stand shoulder to shoulder-
the blame in part,
consuming thoughts on a diet of weighty emotions
is a recipe for the poor health of purpose
we must all take responsibility for the recycling of such actions.

From here the Danish poet, playwright and Lutheran pastor Kaj Munk was picked up on the evening of 4 January 1944 by five people from a German SS terrorist patrol. He was shot in a plantation near the Jutland town of Silkeborg. Kaj Munk is remembered as one of the foremost intellectual opponents of the German occupation of Denmark. The Danish government allowed his widow, Lise, and the children to live at the parish house. Lise died in 1998.
Louis Nebel was later identified as the one who fired the killing shots. Towards the end of the war, he was hired by the American intelligence service, OSS, as a double agent. The OSS made persistent attempts to avoid Louis Nebel being extradited to Denmark. However, he was handed over and sentenced to a ridiculously short prison sentence of 12 years, even though he originally faced the death penalty. He was released after six years!

This is the statue on top of the Court House in Georgetown, Texas. I searched the Internet to find out more about her. Themis is untranslatable. A gift of the gods and a mark of civilized existence, sometimes it means right custom, proper procedure, social order, and sometimes merely the will of the gods. Interestingly, the blind fold and sword weren't added until around the 16th century. I couldn't find out what the blindfold represents. Here's some info from Wikipedia

The personification of abstract concepts is characteristic of the greeks.|date=October 2015}} The ability of the goddess Themis to foresee the future enabled her to become one of the Oracles of Delphi, which in turn led to her establishment as the goddess of divine justice.
Some classical representations of Themis did not show her blindfolded, nor was she holding a sword. The sword is also believed to represent the ability Themis had from cutting fact from fiction; to her there was no middle ground. Themis built the Oracle at Delphi and was herself oracular. According to another legend, Themis received the Oracle at Delphi from Gaia and later gave it to Phoebe.[4]
When Themis is disregarded, Nemesis brings just and wrathful retribution; thus Themis shared the Nemesion temple at Rhamnous. Themis is not wrathful: she, "of the lovely cheeks", was the first to offer Hera a cup when she returned to Olympus distraught over threats from Zeus.[5]
Themis presided over the proper relation between man and woman, the basis of the rightly ordered family (the family was seen as the pillar of the deme), and judges were often referred to as "themistopóloi" (the servants of Themis). Such was also the basis for order upon Olympus. Even Hera addressed her as "Lady Themis." The name of Themis might be substituted for Adrasteia in telling of the birth of Zeus on Crete.
Themis was present at Delos to witness the birth of Apollo. According to Ovid, it was Themis rather than Zeus who told Deucalion to throw the bones of "his Mother" over his shoulder to create a new race of humankind after the deluge.
Hesiod's description and contrast to Dike[edit]
In Greek mythology, Hesiod mentions[6] Themis among the six sons and six daughters of Gaia and Uranus (Earth and Sky). Among these Titans of primordial myth, few were venerated at specific sanctuaries in classical times.
Themis occurred in Hesiod's Theogony as the first recorded appearance of Justice as a divine personage. Drawing not only on the socio-religious consciousness of his time but also on many of the earlier cult-religions, Hesiod described the forces of the universe as cosmic divinities. Hesiod portrayed temporal justice, Dike, as the daughter of Zeus and Themis.
Dike executed the law of judgments and sentencing and, together with her mother Themis, carried out the final decisions of Moirai. For Hesiod, Justice is at the center of religious and moral life, who, independently of Zeus, is the embodiment of divine will. This personification of Dike will stand in contrast to justice viewed as custom or law, and as retribution or sentence.[7]
