I sit and watch the summer melt away...
Hills of lush green gradually fade into brilliant shades of orange, crimson, and goldenrod
Oh Ahiru, my sweet escape...
Maybe one day I will show him to?
We'll escape to watch the maple leaves dance...
Or sip hot cider by the river's edge...
Ah my autumn dream might one day come true
Hopefully before those chill winter winds make me put on an extra layer, or two... three...

Le decumanus maximus, bordé d'arcades, était l'artère principale de la ville romaine. On pénétrait dans la ville par la porte dite "de Tanger" (au fond à gauche de l'image). De part et d'autre de la rue, des boutiques, des fontaines et les maisons.
En septembre l'herbe est brûlée par le soleil de l'été. Au printemps, ce doit magnifique avec les fleurs et la végétation encore verte. J'en ai conçu quelques regrets de ne pas être venue à cette saison.

Happy Wednesday everyone!! These are one of my favorite Florida Birds!! Florida has two populations of Sandhill Cranes, one that is migratory that visits us in the winter and a non-migratory population that is resident throughout most of the peninsula!! This pair of Sandhill Cares is part of the non-migratory population and decided to sit in the shade of an Oak Tree right next to my blind!! What a treat to be that close up to these wonderful birds!! The black dots around the birds are small biting insects!! On a side note, Florida receives its migratory Sandhill Cranes from the Eastern and Central Flyways and they come to Florida from as far way as the Arctic!! A sad fact for those of us that are not fans of Sandhill Crane hunting is that approximately 45,000 Sandhill Cranes were hunted and killed last year in North America (Still protected In Florida) per USFW !!

This Gazebo sits in Colbys walled garden. Starting life as a kitchen garden, the walled garden was actually semi-derelict by the 1970s. It was transformed into a formal setting by Mr and Mrs Scourfield-Lewis, who took on Colby Lodge (the on-site house) and the walled garden in the 1980s. This National trust site is well worth a visit
Sorry to post and run, but I need to get back to PowerPoint! Hope to catch up with you soon, Flickr.

Deslumbrante sempre este cenário fotografado da Vista Chinesa.
As lindas camadas de montanhas que consegui fazer ao me programar para as condições atmosféricas perfeitas.
Detalhe para os cabos do Teleférico do Pão de Açúcar. Tudo focado como deveria ser.

AMANHECENDO NO RIO DE JANEIRO
O Amanhecer no Rio de Janeiro visto do Mirante da Vista Chinesa. Gosto muito de fotografar as camadas de montanhas do Rio de Janeiro. Um cenário que não cansa.
O que cansa é outra coisa. O roubo de fotos.
Até 2011 as primeiras fotos do Google referente à Vista Chinesa, Copacabana, Parque da Cidade de Niterói ou a igreja que você pensar - eram minhas ao procurar no Google imagens..
Eu até gostava de ser referência fotográfica destas atrações do Rio, mesmo na humildade ao notar outras fotos muito melhores que as minhas feitas pelo Custódio Coimbra e outros verdadeiros feras na arte das fotos.
Eu só fazia as fotos descritivas dos lugares sem composições mirabolantes ou ângulos que não nunca foram publicados por absoluta falta de interesse que tem os verdadeiros bons fotógrafos.
Agora, virei referência de atrações do Rio e não acho nada bom isso.
São muitas imobiliárias e principalmente empresas turismo que roubam fotos. Dois seguimentos NESFASTOS da nossa economia devido a incompetência, confiabilidade e baixa formação acadêmida de seus trabalhadores.
O que se vê hoje em dia é um roubo descarado de fotos. Eu até já vi coisa bem piores feitas por um VERME que roubou a vida de outra pessoa copiando todas suas fotos e ainda inventado família, amigos, cachorro, papagaio, etc. E tudo pra se auto elogiar usando nome de terceiros FAKES.
A gente avisa do roubo das fotos e mostras as provas, mas a falta de caráter e interesse das pessoas é só mais uma prova do alto grau de tolerância do brasileiro com o roubo, corrupção e os crimes em geral.
Mas tenham a certeza que a vida destas pessoas é sofrida porque é feita de mentiras e anda muito ruim e só ela não percebe os fatos acontecidos nos últimos anos. Parecem até o Flickr e o Yahoo. As fotos vão sumindo do Google, perdem com visitas, assinaturas e propaganda e nem imaginam o motivo.
Na minha primeira foto dos comentários a imagem era a primeira do Google desde 2006. Ela continua sendo uma das primeiras, mas publicada em outro site que roubou a minha foto. Mas um pra levar para a justiça.
Eu nem comento mais estes roubos, pois apenas uma das minhas fotos já foi roubada e publicada em 37 MIL SITES. Fora as outras fotos em apenas alguns milhares ou centenas de sites diferentes.
Se eu fosse reclamar da vida toda vez que apenas a foto referência foto foi roubada, excluindo toda as outras duas mil que publiquei aqui, eu levaria 112 Anos reclamando todos os dias incluindo domingos de feriados apenas desta única foto em 37 MIL SITES.
Então eu desisti de mostrar e ao contrário de gente que fica procurando, eu nem sinto mais falta quando uma delas perde as 2 mil visitas mensais. Até porque o Flickr e o Yahoo também estão perdendo.
O único problema é que tenho uma empresa de fotografia registrada com CNPJ e tudo certinho há alguns anos, mas toda vez que levo um ladrão de foto na justiça é uma choradeira geral e no final pra conseguir 2 mil reais é só com acordo judicial.
Por isto que acho que ladrão de foto deveria ser enviado pra Cuba. Lá ele iria ter que enrolar os irmãos Castro, mas os Castro de lá não acreditam em muito tro-ló-ló como os Castro brasileiros daqui.

The Vista Chinesa (Chinese Belvedere) is one of the belvederi of Rio de Janeiro, at the topmost of one of the roads that connect the Jardim Botânico area to the Parque Nacional & Floresta da Tijuca, known as the Vista Chinesa.
Estrada da Vista Chinesa skirts the Mesa do Imperador viewpoint and at the Morro da Vista Chinesa runs into Estrada Dona Castorina. From the top of the hill there are views of the Municipal Park, the botanical garden and a long stretch of the south coast. wikipedia.

A history of Taormina.
Her name was Cheryl and she was 65, he was called Christopher and he was 59, they both came from Australia; before reaching Taormina, in Sicily, they had traveled far and wide in various European countries, finally they came to Italy to visit some cities of art and tourism such as Florence, Rome, Sorrento, Amalfi ... the reason for this great to wander? The answer will be known after their tragic ending: to look for a "beautiful place" where they can die ... They weren't married, they didn't behave like lovers or boyfriends do, they certainly were good friends, or maybe they were simply a so-called open couple. Physically and temperamentally they were the exact opposite: Cheryl was sunny, cheerful, decidedly nice, a little chubby, overweight, she loved to wear large handkerchiefs which she then tied on top of her head to form showy bows, Christopher instead was a bit skittish , closed and sad, of few words, thin, tall, with possibly gay attitudes, but both were very friendly, so much so that they had made friends above all with the hotel staff, indeed, to be honest, they made small gifts, they were objects of good workmanship that they had brought with them and bought somewhere, demonstrating their sincere attachment (they had chosen a famous hotel in Taormina, staying in a Junior Suite - Sea View, in Taormina they should have stayed a week, later they would go to Syracuse). On the day of departure, 02-October -2013, at 14.00, Cheryl and Christopher do not show up in the hall to hand over the keys to the room, with extreme embarrassment the assistant manager of the hotel and the housekeeper go to knock on their door , over and over again, and seeing that they do not answer, they open the door with the electronic passe-partout: as soon as they enter they see reflected in the mirror the shape of their bodies that appear stretched out in bed, motionless: quick and convulsive thousand questions pile up in the mind of the two women, the housekeeper is terrified and runs away, while the lady assistant director must be able to understand what is happening and approaches, what she sees is a surreal scene: they are clearly dead, lying and rigid on the bed, they are not hugging each other , however, they are lying next to each other, under them, to cover the blankets and sheets of the bed, they have placed a large sheet of cellophane, like the one used by painters, to prevent any the humors freed from lifeless bodies, could dirty; on the back of the bed hung a row of Halloween flags, with printed skulls, and, among these, other flags, those used for birthday parties, each with a letter forming the phrase "dance of death"; on the bedside table there were two empty bottles (200 - 300 ml), which each contained a lethal substance, there were keys (for the locks of the suitcases), and a letter, in which they reported their last wishes: they left the money to honor the hotel expenses, they donated the contents of their suitcases to the hotel, and finally asked forgiveness for the inconvenience that their extreme action would certainly have caused to the hotel. The scant news on the web at the time (all photocopies of a single article) reported that both suffered from serious health problems, but that was not the case, certainly there was some minor ailment, but nothing really serious and unsolvable. Cheryl and Cristopher now lie in the cemetery of Taormina, higher up, closer to the sky than to the earth, even with the high ladder it is not easy to get close, even if only to lay a flower, the Australian embassy was contacted, but no one asked that their bodies were repatriated to their homeland, Australia.
Saint Augustine does not seem to say "those who sing, pray twice", but it would be nice to think that I, in posting my photos and dedicating them to them, maybe I am praying for them.
Post Scriptum: I thank Mrs. Luisa, without her I would never have been able to reconstruct the last hours of their lives with some accuracy, the news on the web is imprecise and laconic; many thanks to mr. Bambara, a funeral director, who having buried their bodies in 2013, showed me, accompanying me in person, where exactly their location is.
All the photos I present were taken in the town of Taormina and its surroundings (Sicily); I made photos related to "street photography";
I tried to capture the essence of minimal photographic stories, collected walking down the street ... in search of fleeting moments ...
For some photographs I used a particular photographic technique at the time of shooting, which in addition to capturing the surrounding space, also "inserted" a temporal dimension, with photos characterized by being moved because the exposure times were deliberately lengthened, they are confused -focused-imprecise-undecided ... the Anglo-Saxon term that encloses this photographic genre with a single word is "blur", these images were thus created during the shooting phase, and not as an effect created subsequently, in retrospect, in the post-production.

Una storia di Taormina.
Lei si chiamava Cheryl ed aveva 65 anni, lui si chiamava Christopher ed aveva 59 anni, entrambi provenivano dall’Australia; prima di giungere a Taormina, in Sicilia, avevano girato in lungo ed in largo in vari paesi d’Europa, infine giunsero in Italia per visitare alcune città d’arte e turismo come Firenze, Roma, Sorrento, Amalfi… il motivo di questo gran girovagare? La risposta si saprà dopo il loro tragico epilogo: cercare un “posto bello” dove poter morire…Non erano sposati, non si comportavano come fanno gli amanti od i fidanzati, certamente erano dei buoni amici, o forse erano semplicemente una cosiddetta coppia aperta. Fisicamente e caratterialmente erano l’esatto opposto: Cheryl era solare, allegra, decisamente simpatica, un po’ pienotta, sovrappeso, amava indossare dei grandi fazzoletti che poi annodava in cima al capo a formare dei vistosi fiocchi, Christopher invece era un po’ ombroso, chiuso e triste, di poche parole, magro, segaligno, alto, con atteggiamenti forse da gay, però entrambi erano molto cordiali, tant’è che avevano fatto amicizia soprattutto col personale d’albergo, anzi, a dirla tutta, acostoro facevano dei piccoli regali, erano oggetti di buona fattura che avevano portato con se ed acquistati chissà dove, a dimostrazione del loro sincero attaccamento (avevano scelto un famoso albergo di Taormina, alloggiando in una Junior Suite –Vista Mare, a Taormina sarebbero dovuti restare una settimana, dopo si sarebbero recati a Siracusa). Il giorno della partenza, il 02-ottobre -2013, alle ore 14,00, Cheryl e Christopher non si presentano nella hall a consegnare le chiavi della stanza, con estremo imbarazzo la vicedirettrice dell’albergo e la governante vanno a bussare alla loro porta, più e più volte, e, vedendo che non rispondono, aprono la porta con il passe-partout elettronico: appena entrate vedono riflessa nello specchio la sagoma dei loro corpi che appaiono distesi nel letto, immobili: rapide e convulse mille domande si affastellano nella mente delle due donne, la governante è terrorizzata e fugge via, mentre la vicedirettrice deve poter capire cosa sta succedendo e si avvicina, quello che vede è una scena surreale: loro sono chiaramente morti, distesi e rigidi sul letto, non sono tra loro abbracciati, però sono coricati l’uno accanto all’altra, sotto di loro, a coprire le coperte e le lenzuola del letto, hanno posto un grande foglio di cellophane, come quello che usano gli imbianchini, per evitare che eventuali umori liberatisi dai corpi esanimi, potessero sporcare; sulla spalliera del letto era appesa una fila di bandierine di Halloween, coi teschi stampati, e, tra queste, altre bandierine, quelle che si usano per le feste di compleanno, ognuna con una lettera a formare la frase “dance of death” (la danza della morte); sul comodino c’erano due flaconi (200 – 300 ml) svuotati, che contenevano ognuno una sostanza letale, c’erano delle chiavi (per le serrature delle valigie), ed una lettera, nella quale riportavano le loro ultime volontà: lasciavano i soldi per onorare le spese dell’albergo, donavano all’albergo il contenuto delle loro valigie, ed infine chiedevano perdono per il disagio che il loro gesto estremo avrebbe certamente arrecato all’albergo. Le scarne notizie sul web di allora (tutti articoli fotocopia di un solo articolo) riportarono che entrambi soffrivano di gravi problemi di salute, ma le cose non stavano così, certo qualche piccolo malanno c’era, ma nulla di veramente grave ed irrisolvibile. Cheryl e Cristopher adesso giacciono nel cimitero di Taormina, in alto, più vicini al cielo che alla terra, neanche con la scala alta è facile avvicinarsi, anche solo per deporvi un fiore, fu contattata l’ambasciata australiana, ma nessuno chiese che i loro corpi venissero rimpatriati nella loro patria, l’Australia.
Sant’Agostino sembra non disse “chi canta prega due volte”, ma sarebbe bello pensare che io, nel postare le mie foto e nel dedicarle a loro, forse io stia ugualmente pregando per loro.
Post Scriptum: ringrazio la signora Luisa, senza di lei non sarei mai riuscito a ricostruire con una certa accuratezza le ultime ore della loro vita, sul web le notizie sono imprecise e laconiche; ringrazio il sig. Bambara, impresario di pompe funebri, che avendone tumulato i loro corpi nell’anno 2013, mi ha indicato, accompagnandomi di persona, dove si trova esattamente la loro ubicazione.
Tutte le foto che presento sono state realizzate nella cittadina di Taormina e nei suoi dintorni (Sicilia);
ho realizzato foto riconducibili alla “street photography”;
ho cercato di cogliere al volo l’essenza di storie fotografiche minime, raccolte camminando per la strada ... alla ricerca di attimi fugaci s-fuggenti ...
Ho utilizzato per alcune fotografie una tecnica fotografica particolare al momento dello scatto, che oltre a catturare lo spazio circostante, ha "inserito" anche una dimensione temporale, con foto caratterizzate dall’essere mosse poiché volutamente sono stati allungati i tempi di esposizione, sono confuse-sfocate-imprecise-indecise...il termine anglosassone che racchiude con una sola parola questo genere fotografico è "blur", queste immagini sono state così realizzate in fase di scatto, e non come un effetto creato successivamente, a posteriori, in fase di post-produzione.

Gargoyles Sit Watching
By Kevin Vaudrick
On a massive skyscraper, atop a moonlit city
A gargoyle towers above, though feels no pity
He ponders the thought, whether man will survive
For superiority is what the people strive
With a heart carved from ancient stone
The gargoyle sits atop a city's wondrous throne
He watches as one man destroys another's creations
And in horror as a war develops between nations
The gargoyle, as others like him, will wait
For the day of judgement, man's true fate
Gargoyles sit watching, the turmoil that will erupt
Due to man's unmistakable iron will to corrupt
At night the gargoyles laugh, for what they know
Near the apocalypse, man will become too slow
And nights filled with darkness, will be ruled by one
Gargoyles will be spared, under Earth's blazing sun
Once again, the gargoyles may live life with joy
With man's broken bones, they will happily toy
With a sense of pity, gargoyles will view man's fate
For man knew what he had done, though it was too late
Saw this poem on another Flickr stream, and had to do a version of it myself. Sorry for the repost as well. I was rebaking I took the first shot. So it looked horrible.
