Ponte del Diavolo, or Ponte della Maddalena (Italian: "Bridge of Mary Magdalene") is a bridge crossing the Serchio river near the town of Borgo a Mozzano in the Italian province of Lucca, Italy.
While this gorgeous bridge is not actually in Bagni di Lucca it is synonymous with the area, and a perfect introduction to our villages . The very beautiful Ponte Diavolo crosses the Serchio river at Borgo a Mozzano, just 4 kilometres before Bagni di Lucca.
The bridge was thought to be commissioned by the Countess Matilda of Tuscany around 1080 – 1100 to enable people to cross the Serchio and get access to the spas in Bagno di Corsena, as Bagni di Lucca was then called.
The name Ponte Maddalena comes from a life size image of Maddalena, a painting from the Della Robbia school, which was in an oratory at the foot of the bridge. You can now see it in the Church of S. Jacopo in Borgo a Mozzano.
The bridge’s more popular name, Devil’s Bridge, comes from the legend from the time of Saint Julian, the protector of travellers. The devil was asked for help to construct the bridge and in return he was offered the soul of whoever crossed the bridge first. Saint Julian arranged for a dog to cross the bridge for the first time.
In 1836 a flood damaged the bridge and it required significant repairs. An extra arch was added in the early 1900s to make more room for a surfaced roadway.

"The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear.”
- Rumi
“The song is for yoU
the poem for another
the video a dream to view
of an imaginary erstwhile would-be lover
the quotation just a jagg-ed part
of the puzzle like the broken delf
the last piece that I found is always missing you
in the continued quest to complete and find my better inner self.”
- AP
“In my end is my beginning“
an odd conundrum and yet well met
I find that it is true
having come the proverbial full circle
the beginning and the ending
with my love for you
I let my love for you define me
and now you're gone
and I am lost to everyone
but mostly to myself
I must therefore venture out
to see if I can find me
in an overwhelming sea of darkness
a void eclipses all my wealth
my worth is what
I do not know yet
but I have stepped from the abyss
into the light
and forgotten most of what
there was about me
so I must teach myself anew
so I can leave behind this endless night

This is one of our (Special FX) most well known pieces.
Special FX consisted of:
Quest (Outlines)
Aime (Characters)
& Freehand (Filling in)
It was a pity that the other 2 weren't a little bit more gung ho when it came to breaking the law. We gained fame from what we painted, but we should of got up more in hindsight.
Special FX and the Crime Bandits were the two best crews in East London. Our closeness in ability constantly pushed each crews pieces forward. Great times.
Special FX painting the May n Baker wall that was district line trackside. Nice white wall, but they kept whitewashing it so pieces didn't have much of a life.
but it's trackside and was a bus ride away - so of course we're going to fucking paint it.

"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness" Matthew 6:22-23

‘The Zero Theorem’ by Director Terry Gilliam
I clearly remember taking the shot (on the left) and thinking ‘wow, what an amazing painterly sky… it would make a lovely canvas print for somebody’s living room’. Little did I know that less than a year later I’d be emailing this image to a Hollywood Visual Effects advisor for use in Terry Gilliam’s film ‘The Zero Theorem'.
After a tantalising ten-month wait for the cinema release, I finally got to see how the visual effects team had adapted the original image for the silver screen. It was impressive to say the least. The realisation that my photography was part of a production of this magnitude was incredible and almost hard to believe.
So, if you decide to immerse yourself in the weird and wonderful dystopian world of Gilliam’s latest theatrical film, look out for the sunset sky. After all, it appears in several scenes and it’s the only utopian setting throughout the movie so it should be easy to spot. Oh, and wait until you see the finale scene with Christoph Waltz!
-------------------------------------------
Stars of ‘The Zero Theorem’ include Christoph Waltz, Mélanie Thierry, David Thewlis, Lucas Hedges, Matt Damon, Ben Whishaw and Tilda Swinton amongst others. Terry Gilliam is probably most well-known for his work on Monty Python’s Flying Circus and films such as Brazil, Twelve Monkeys and Time Bandits.

Challenge #21 - something literally falling or someone falling in love, falling out of line, falling apart at the seams.
Snow
Like a blanket
Soothes.
Ice
Like a washcloth
Cleans out the emotional detritus.
Flakes
Like stars
Fall from the sky in wonder.
I do like this on white - below is another version with a translucent background.

Ward's Island on the eastern side of the Toronto Islands has a naturalization section. This path is beyond the cute houses, takes one along the naturalized area, and leads one toward the Eastern Gap.
