Your Correspondent from Venice
shows YOU one of the most famous moment and competition in Venice....
Dodesona and Bucintoro
Every year, the first Sunday of September,
the Historical Regatta
comes back in Venice, the most traditional among the venetian events, which took place for the first time the 10th of January 1315 under the rule of the doge Giovanni Soranzo.
The sumptuous event, organized in the Serenissima times to celebrate the military victories or to honour the foreign dignitaries, today is made up of two different parts: the historical parade and the rowing boat races.
The Historical Regatta starts out with the colourful procession on water, formed by the Bissone, the Bucintoro and the boats of the venetian rowing clubs; the event commemorates the Queen of Cyprus, Caterina Cornaro, coming to Venice, which marked the beginning of the Serenissima rule over the Mediterranean islands. The historical parade has now just a picturesque importance, memory of the distant economical and political greatness of Venice on the seas, while the regattas represent still today the climax of the agonistic season in the world of the rowing alla veneta: winning that day for the rowers means to become a part of the history of this sport and, to a certain extent, of Venice.
...
The last technical note is about the Venice Historical Regatta route; it goes from Riva degli Schiavoni, where the start is, to Punta della Salute where, after the cavata (the start sprint), the public waits impatiently for the first boat entering the Grand Canal, since often that will be the winning one. Then (except for the race on pupparini ending up in front of Ca´ Foscari) the boats go up the Canal Grande to the train station where the turning pole is, then they go back towards the finish line in front of the Machina (the floating stage reserved to authorities and built for this occasion on the Grand Canal in front of Ca´ Foscari). When the various usual accusations of incorrectness are over, in front of the Machina the prize-giving ceremony takes place.

**********************************************************************
The program of the Venice Regatta 2016, start time at 4.00pm, opens with the expected Historical parade, one of the most anticipated moments of this intense day especially for tourists, eager to take part in a fascinating evocation of the glory and power of the ancient Republic of Venice. The extraordinary water parade formed by traditional colourful boats, some of which are used only in these particular events, with people in costume who interpret the upper echelon of the Venice Judiciary – the Doge and the Duchess - is a faithful reconstruction of the royal reception given to Catherine Cornaro, Queen of Cyprus, on her arrival in Venice in 1489, after her abdication in favour of the Republic.
The Venice regattas 2016 that follow the parade of historic boats are considered the most important event of the entire Venetian rowing season and the winners are held in high regard by the practitioners of this fascinating discipline. The Venetian rowing is a special technique of rowing practices in the lagoon of Venice and the surrounding areas because of the peculiarities of the environment, which requires vessels that can be easily maneuvered and a stroke that allows one to easily monitor the seabed to avoid the numerous shoals and the low sandy coasts.

Going back to the 2015 lunar eclipse here today presenting the moon at its Almost fully eclipsed stage ... #etbtsy
How many names can one full moon have? Apparently, that list is rather long. The full moon of September is called Harvest moon. See Farmers' Almanac for all of the nicknames:
It's also a Super Moon because it is close to Earth on its orbit. It's actually a Super Super Moon because It’s the biggest, closest and brightest Super Moon of the year.
And yes, it also happened to feature a full lunar eclipse. It's not going to happen here for a while now.
See Eclipses visible from Buffalo, NY
"This September full moon was also called a Blood Moon, because it presented the fourth and final eclipse of a lunar tetrad: four straight total eclipses of the moon, spaced at six lunar months (full moons) apart." - Super Blood Moon eclipse September 27-28 on EarthSky
SEPTEMBER
Labors of the month September are generally associated with treading grape. The scene usually shows a man treading in a wooden half barrel while other men are shown bringing the grape in a basket or on their backs. The scene can take place both indoor and outdoor. When indoors, sometimes the countryside is visible through openings. Variations of the scene might also show a woman picking grape or a man holding a cup in one hand and raising it in a cheer.

I have been wanting to try these for a while - and thanks to some very helpful tips from Corrie , who is an absolute master of water droplet photography, I gave it a go. I am pretty happy with this one - although clearly I still have some focus issues.

Early September 2023...
Gear Packed & Primed! Drove west from Kearney out to Lexington Nebraska area. Once the warnings started to fire out in West Central Nebraska. It was time to do my thing. It was to see one of the last supercells of the summer of 2023 & I wasn't gonna miss out. This truly had incredible, beautiful structure. Was tornado warned & had all the right elements for what I do.
No I didn't see a Tor-nader that day. I got a few snaps of what I think was a wall cloud to the cell northwest of my location.
I was there for the structure & I got those incredible snaps... It is what I came for!
*** PERSONAL NOTE***
I travel a lot of roads LESS TRAVELED than most in Nebraska due to what I do. After the Lexington Nebraska event.. I had to shoot back a few miles due my proximity to the storm.
As I traveled west then south from Overton Nebraska .. Via Nebraska Road "748" heading west. My normal spot was taken due to harvesting from the farmers. Cows were in my favorite spot. So a drove a few miles to the west. I had been by here about 1000+ times but never realized there there was an historical marker here.
So unknowingly, as I pulled into this little area with no power-lines I found a new place to take snaps but it has some historical value. Thought I would add this link for those of you that are curious about this Famous Nebraska Historical Marker.

The National September 11 Memorial & Museum, located on 6-acres of the World Trade Center site, is a tribute of remembrance and honor to the 2,983 men, women and children killed in the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 at the World Trade Center site, near Shanksville, Pa., and at the Pentagon, as well as the six people killed in the World Trade Center bombing in February 1993
The National September 11 Memorial, designed by American architect Michael Arad of Handel Architects in conjunction with landscape architecture firm Peter Walker and Partners, was formally dedicated on September 11, 2011, commemorating the tenth anniversary of the attacks. Arad and Walker's design was selected from 5,201 entries in an open, international memorial contest, initiated by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation (LMDC), as per the specifications of architect Daniel Libeskind.
Two reflecting pools, each about an acre in size with 30-foot waterfalls--the largest manmade in waterfalls in North America--cascading down their sides, are set within the footprints of the original Twin Towers. The names of 2,983 victims are in inscribed on 76 bronze plates attached to the parapet walls that form the edges of the memorial pools, arranged based on "meaningful adjacencies"--an algorithm developed by Local Projects which includes proximity at the time of the attacks, company or organization affiliations for those who worked at the World Trade Center or Pentagon, and approximately 1,200 requests from family members.
The Memorial Plaza surrounding the pools provides a contemplative escape, with a grove of more than 400 swamp white oak trees, each selected from nurseries within a 500-mile radius of the three attack sites. A small clearing in the grove, known as the Memorial Glade, designates a space for gatherings and special ceremonies.
The National September 11 Memorial Museum Pavilion, designed by Craig Dykers and Kjetil Thorsen of Snøhetta, is scheduled to open on or around September 11, 2012. The museum will feature over 110,000 square feet of exhibition space telling the story of the 9/11 through multimedia displays, archives, narratives and a collection of monumental and authentic artifacts.

A quiet night in September from Hoboken, NJ marks 15 years since the passing of nearly 3,000 people during the morning hours of September 11, 2001 at the World Trade Center, The Pentagon the rural countryside of Johnstown, PA. While those lives will never be forgotten by those who loved them the rest of the world seems to be moving right along with their daily lives as the nation heals. Thankfully the "Tribute in Light" memorial is a beautiful, simple and powerful reminder to all within a clear line of sight from the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan. With powerful bright blue beams of light reaching high into the atmosphere it reminds us that while the fear and sadness of that day may have subsided that we should not to forget what we have experienced, lost and overcome as a country and individuals.
Here I am on what would otherwise be a normal Sunday night at Hoboken Terminal with two trains using NJ Transit and Metro-North Railroad equipment idling away under the historic Lackawanna Railroad sheds. Both trains will soon depart for the Bergen, Passaic, Rockland and Orange County suburbs of New York City delivering the people of New Jersey and New York home after spending the beautiful late-summer afternoon in the “Capital of the World.”

September 2018. Took a weekend trip to Goldfield Nevada in Esmeralda County, located in Esmeralda County. This area is know to have one of the darkest night skies in America.
We photographed the Milky Way and fireworks in the Car Forest of the Last Church, wild horses and donkeys. We even took a trip out to the ghost town of Goldpoint.

September by Helen Hunt Jackson
---------------------------------------------------
The golden-rod is yellow;
The corn is turning brown;
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down.
The gentian’s bluest fringes
Are curling in the sun;
In dusty pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk has spun.
The sedges flaunt their harvest,
In every meadow nook;
And asters by the brook-side
Make asters in the brook.
From dewy lanes at morning
the grapes’ sweet odors rise;
At noon the roads all flutter
With yellow butterflies.
By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summer’s best of weather,
And autumn’s best of cheer.
But none of all this beauty
Which floods the earth and air
Is unto me the secret
Which makes September fair.
‘T is a thing which I remember;
To name it thrills me yet:
One day of one September
I never can forget.
The National September 11 Memorial & Museum at the World Trade Center.
Reflecting Absence.
Financial District, New York City.
The Memorial is a national tribute of remembrance and honor to the 2,983 people killed in the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993. The two memorial fountains at the memorial site sit in the spots where the two towers stood. They are each surrounded by granite borders that contain the names of all those who were killed in both terror attacks at the site. Together they make up the nation’s largest manmade waterfalls, and are at the heart of the design of the memorial, called Reflecting Absence. It was designed by Israeli-American architect Michael Arad of Handel Architects, a New York- and San Francisco-based firm.

A quick upload for me this evening; I'll have to catch up on comments and streams tomorrow.
A busy day that ended with a fantastic dinner with friends; which is why I'm a bit later than usual uploading my photo of the day and why I'll be playing catch up tomorrow.
Anyway, hope you've all had a fantastic day!

In September, Nebraska’s sunsets transform into breathtaking spectacles, amplified by the dramatic presence of thunderstorms and supercells. As summer’s heat begins to wane, the Great Plains remain a hotbed for dynamic weather, with warm, moist air clashing against cooler fronts to create vibrant, fiery skies. The sun dips below the horizon, painting the vast Nebraska landscape in hues of orange, pink, and purple, often intensified by towering cumulonimbus clouds. These clouds, illuminated by the fading light, glow with an ethereal quality, their edges tinged with gold as the sun’s rays refract through the atmosphere. The open plains offer an unobstructed view, making the interplay of light and storm clouds a daily masterpiece, where the sinking sun seems to set the sky ablaze against the silhouette of distant fields.
For those in rural areas, watching a September supercell at sunset is an unforgettable experience. The air grows heavy with the scent of rain, and the distant rumble of thunder provides a soundtrack to the visual spectacle. Farmers and storm chasers alike pause to witness the sky’s drama, knowing that these storms can bring both vital rain and potential destruction to the region’s corn and soybean fields. The fleeting moments when the sun’s last rays pierce through breaks in the storm clouds create a sense of timelessness, connecting the observer to the raw, untamed spirit of the Plains. In Nebraska, September sunsets paired with thunderstorms and supercells are not just weather events—they’re a vivid reminder of nature’s ability to inspire wonder and respect in equal measure.

South coast surfers spend long flat summer days dreaming of September swells arriving from far-off tropical storms and hurricanes, this year they arrived right on time! A lovely long range groundswell made its way up the channel yesterday, this is Joe Truman making the most of it and finding a little shade on a warm sunny afternoon.

"Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby." - Langston Hughes
-----
A rainy and gray Saturday that was mostly spent at the mall; not my favourite way to spend a day away from the office but it did amount to accomplishing a thing or two. Nard found himself two new pairs of pants and I was able to find two pairs of glasses that I really liked. So that's now off my list.
I have to wait about 2 weeks to get the glasses, but at least it's done. I'm not a huge fan of shopping for new frames because I'm so blind without my glasses that I have to stand right in front of the mirror to see what they kind of look like on me and I get dizzy from switching from having vision to having extremely blurred vision as I take my glasses on and off.
By the time I came home the rain was falling pretty hard and I didn't feel like venturing out for a walk to get a photo, so I took some macros of the rain on the window screen and ended up really liking the results. A unique look in on a rainy day.
Otherwise, I didn't do too much today. I've started my housework, which I'll probably finish before bedtime that way I have less chores to do in the morning and more time to maybe relax. I have a pile of books that are being sorely neglected as I find my time fills up with more and more "to-do's" lately.
I hope everyone has had a good day!

Op 27 September 2014 was de tramexcursie van het Spoorforum. Vanwege het 10-jarig jubileum werd er gekozen voor trams ipv treinen. Na de GVB 465 + 731 en NBM 20 + 43 was het de beurt aan de GVB 602. Met de 602 gingen we vanaf de Haarlemmermeerlijn terug naar Amsterdam CS, met onderweg twee fotostops. De eerste fotostop met de GVB 602 was bij het Azartplein, waar de GVB 2001 kort naast de 602 poseert voor een foto.

2011 has been a year in which I had no opportunities to dress up as a woman and unexpectedly on 11 September I found myself in a position to once more put on make up, a wig and dress in female clothing. I was rather muted and not in the mood as I had not foreseen this opportunity so my frame of mind was just not up for it.
However, I was persuaded by Steffy Jensen to at least give it a go so I followed her advice and enjoyed a few hours en femme. I decide to record some video but the recordings were marred by a lack of direction on my part so I only had a few brief sections of coherent stuff (and they are not all that coherent!)
It was undeniably great fun to appear dressed as a woman on camera so despite the dire content and rambling nature I cannot resist a wee celebration of having become Helene once more. So, I'm posting this video more for celebratory reasons than having anything of merit to share with anyone.
I do enjoy having an outlet for my cross-dressing and Flickr can fill that need for me. Unfortunately for Flickr they end up with my highly self indulgent vignettes of self expression.
I know the video is rubbish but it was the thrill of recording it I enjoyed so those of you who e-mail to tell me I'm rubbish, I already know so no need to rub it in. I enjoy the excitement of posting and no-one has to watch, in fact it may be best if you don't watch as I use the 'transvestite' word quite bit.

Rufus: "As Mum was on her own this morning I lay on the sofa next to her to keep her company while Dad was out.
We had some lovely cuddles too, which was even better. Plus it didn't take Mum too long to get the picture she liked of me either, which is always better for me."
