My entry to the Global Challenge VII in the Vignette Category. LCC has changed the forum and is now called Lands of Roawia (LoR)
I am working to get the story together, but as always I am too slow with this. Just let me tell you one thing:
Paul von Brickenstein did not die (yet :)
"Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls. The most massive characters are seared with scars."
"Le anime più forti sono quelle temprate dalla sofferenza. I caratteri più solidi sono cosparsi di cicatrici."
Khalil Gibran
She's 6 hours into her 10 our shift in 4 inch heels. Her feet were getting sore after 2 hours. Killing her after 4 with the balls of her feet burning and her toes squashed. What is she going to do to help herself last the final 4 hours?
Dutch arable farming is currently suffering greatly from the excessive rainfall in recent months. This is the clay soil potato field of a farmer in the Oostwaard, a polder in the Brabantse Biesbosch near Hank, North Brabant province.

After suffering from a lot of wet feet recently, I have purchased some wellys. They definitely help when trying to get close to the action, the only downside to this is that I would not want to walk far in them. I end up carrying them in my backpack which already weighs a fair bit along side the tripod, camera gear and waterproofs.

Portrait of a suffering "Pastore Abruzzese" - Photo taken in Castel di Sangro, L'Aquila
Abruzzese Sheepdog is a breed of livestock guardian dog that originated in central Italy and has been used for centuries by Italian shepherds to guard sheep from wolves. The breed is widely employed in Abruzzo where sheep herding remains vital to the rural economy and the wolf remains an active and protected predator.
Centuries of breeding the dogs to be gentle with lambs but fiercely protective of their flock has created a breed that will bond to families and show a calm, intelligent disposition. However, the dogs may display hostility towards outsiders and they are not suitable companion dogs for urban areas due to their large size and need for open space.
THEY PERCEIVE THE EARTHQUAKE BEFORE US
What do you, an ant, Queen Elizabeth, a tramp and myself have in common? We all suffer.
Everybody suffers. From those in the most desperate of situations, to the most privileged on earth, everybody everywhere suffers.
This, the Truth of Suffering, was an observation made by the historical Buddha.
Let’s think about it for a short moment. Suffering is something we don’t usually want to hear about and as soon as we experience any form of suffering, from the tiniest unpleasant feeling to the most fatal of diseases, we try our hardest to get rid of or suppress it. We always prefer the beautiful, happy, youthful side of life, while the ugly parts, such as old age, sickness, death, poverty, and depression are pushed aside.
But you don’t have to stoop to the depths of depression, or experience a terrible illness, or go through a holocaust to know that suffering exists. And yet, we ignore it, and carry on with our daily lives. All of a sudden a loved one dies and it hits us; ‘oh yeah, suffering . . .’ we say.
The actual word used in Pali is ‘dukkha’, which means ‘incapable of satisfying’ – and this is what the Buddha used to describe our existence. What do you think? We are born, we age, we get sick, we die. We constantly meet with experiences we don’t want, and we don’t meet the experiences we do want. Things change all around us as our friends leave or die, relationships break up, our new computer breaks. And in between all of that, we toil away endlessly trying to find a way out of suffering through food, clothes, love, relationships, new gadgets, and the list goes on.
And for what?! Are we happy yet?

Suffering the ravages of time. Of interest is the presence of a row crop, probably corn, alongside the native Kansas grasses.
Suffering from a case of jet-lag the morning after arriving in the town of Burnham-on-Crouch on the East coast of England (Essex) to join long time friends for a wedding, I just got up just before dawn, resigned to being unable to sleep any longer, and followed the public footpath adjacent to our accommodations out to the River Crouch. The river empties into the North Sea and is tidal. Here it is at low tide with its mud banks are exposed. Moored off shore lie a large number of sailing vessels, something this area is well known for, although people here prefer to refer to it as ‘yachting’. The footpath I used to get to this location, unfortunately, did not go all the way into town. A gap exists to provide access to a marina forcing pedestrians to detour around the marina to get to town, and a well-needed strong cup of coffee early in the morning. -JW

After suffering 5 days of cloud and rain the sun is finally starting to make an appearance as 15F no 3098 leaves Moravia for Malmesburg with the Cape Wanderer tour on 29 May 1993.
The efforts of the railways to get us this loco should be mentioned. The day before while heading north to Klawer behind the 19C it failed at Moravia. The tour was diesel hauled northwards. To replace the 19C they steamed up the 14CRB and dispatched it light overnight to Klawer. It failed during the night on the way up! So they steamed up the 15F the following morning and sent it north to meet the tour train now heading back south still behind diesels.
Arrgghhh a little toe crunch whilst he's not looking. Feels amazing in the moment but now she was woken up all those squashed nerve endings!

Beach holidays were born in the 1700s in Great Britain, this social phenomenon was born in which bathers for the first time go to the beaches, certainly not as sunny as those bathed by the Mediterranean Sea, they are fully dressed; this "new fashion" is also encouraged by the belief of English doctors since the beginning of the eighteenth century (starting around 1720), that breathing the brackish sea air and bathing in cold sea water is healthy, invigorates the body and cure lung diseases (conviction even more strengthened by the discovery of oxygen by Antoine Lavoisier in 1778, which led to the greater diffusion and conviction of the theories on the health benefits of sea air, which was thought to be more oxygenated and pure), these theories push many people from Northern Europe suffering from severe lung diseases to spend long periods in southern Europe, often in the south of Italy, this explains why characters with extraordinary qualities come to Taormina to cure their tuberculosis. The photographer baron Wilhelm von Gloeden and the English lady Florence Trevelyan Trevelyan had the seawater brought with their mules from Isola Bella, but while W. Von Gloeden heated the sea water, the English noblewoman Lady Trevelian did not heat it, mindful of the teachings of the English medical school, this will cause her death from bronchopneumonia on 4 October 1907 (see my previous "photographic stories" about Taormina). In fact, "thalassotherapy" was born in Great Britain, together with the social and cultural phenomenon of frequenting bathing beaches (before the beginning of the 18th century, the sea and its beaches were lived, except for reasons of trade and fishing, in a dark and negative way, from the sea often came very serious dangers such as the sudden landings of ferocious pirates, or foreigners carrying very serious diseases could land). Thus the fashion of spending holidays by the sea was born in the English aristocracy and high bourgeoisie of the time, subsequently the habit of going to the sea spread to all levels of society, the railways that were built throughout Great Britain to 'beginning of the nineteenth century, made travel to the ocean accessible even to the lower classes, they too will frequent the seaside resorts, Blackpool becomes the first seaside resort in Great Britain completely frequented by the working classes thanks to the presence of low-cost bathing establishments; the great and definitive boom in seaside tourism will then take place in the 1950s and 1960s. This being the case, it should not be surprising to know that in Great Britain the beaches are more frequented than one might instinctively think due to a climate very different from the Mediterranean one, and that this socio-cultural phenomenon has been investigated at the photographic by photographers of the same Great Britain, of these I mention four names. An important photographer, who probably inspired subsequent photographers, was Tony Ray-Jones, who died prematurely in 1972, at the young age of 30, who was trying to create a “photographic memory” of the stereotypes of the English people; the famous photojournalist Martin Parr, who, although inspired by the previous one, differs from it for his way of doing “social satire” with his goal; finally, I would like to mention David Hurn and Simon Roberts, the latter with wider-ranging photographs, with photographs more detached from the individual. In Italy there are numerous photographers (I will mention only a few) who have made in their long career images captured in seaside resorts (generally we speaking of "beach photography" similar to "street photography"), photographs that are often unique in their style, such as that adopted by Franco Fontana, I mention Mimmo Jodice, Ferdinando Scianna (of whom I am honored to have known him personally), and Massimo Vitali, famous photographer (understood by some as "the photographer of the beaches"), especially for his beautiful photographs taken on the beaches (but not only), thanks to the presence of elevated fixed structures as a kind of mezzanine, built specifically in the bathing beaches for the realization of his photographs. This is my incipit, to introduce the theme I tackled, that of "beach photography", with a series of photographs taken on the beaches of Eastern Sicily, most of which are located near Taormina.

Le vacanze al mare nascono nel ‘700 in Gran Bretagna, nasce questo fenomeno sociale nel quale i bagnanti per la prima volta si recano sulle spiagge, non certo assolate come quelle bagnate dal mar Mediterraneo, sono completamente vestiti; questa “nuova moda” è anche incoraggiata dalla convinzione dei medici inglesi fin dall’inizio del ‘700 (a partire dal 1720 circa), che respirare l’aria salmastra del mare e fare il bagno nell’acqua marina fredda sia salutare, rinvigorisca il corpo e curi le malattie polmonari (convinzione ancor più rafforzata dalla scoperta dell’ossigeno da parte di Antoine Lavoisier nel 1778, che portò alla maggiore diffusione e convinzione delle teorie sui benefici per la salute dell’aria di mare, che si pensava essere più ossigenata e pura), queste teorie spingono molte persone del Nord Europa affette da gravi malattie polmonari a trascorrere dei lunghi periodi nel sud Europa, spesso nel meridione d’Italia, questo spiega perché a Taormina giungono personaggi dalle qualità straordinarie per curare il proprio “mal sottile”, il barone fotografo Wilhelm von Gloeden e la lady inglese Florence Trevelyan Trevelyan si facevano portare coi muli l’acqua di mare proveniente dall’Isola Bella, però mentre W. Von Gloeden riscaldava l’acqua marina, la nobildonna inglese lady Trevelian non la riscaldava, memore degli insegnamenti della scuola medica inglese, questo causerà la sua morte per broncopolmonite il 4 ottobre del 1907 (vedi i miei precedenti “racconti fotografici” su Taormina). Infatti la “talassoterapia” nasce in Gran Bretagna, insieme al fenomeno sociale e culturale della frequentazione dei lidi balneari (prima dell’inizio del ‘700, il mare e le sue spiagge erano vissuti, tranne che per motivi di commercio e di pesca, in maniera oscura e negativa, dal mare spesso provenivano gravissimi pericoli come gli sbarchi improvvisi di feroci pirati, oppure potevano sbarcare stranieri portatori di gravissime malattie). Nell’aristocrazia e nell’alta borghesia inglese di allora nasce così la moda di trascorrere le vacanze al mare, successivamente l’abitudine di andare al mare si diffonde a tutti i livelli della società, le ferrovie che furono costruite in tutta la Gran Bretagna all’inizio dell’Ottocento, resero i viaggi verso l’oceano accessibili anche per i ceti più bassi, quelli più popolari e meno agiati, anch’essi frequenteranno le località balneari, Blackpool diviene la prima località balneare della Gran Bretagna completamente frequentata dalle classi popolari grazie alla presenza di stabilimenti balneari a basso costo; il grande e definitivo boom del turismo balneare si avrà poi negli anni ’50 e ’60. Stando così le cose, non ci si deve meravigliare nel sapere che in Gran Bretagna le spiagge sono più frequentate di quanto istintivamente si possa pensare a causa di un clima ben diverso da quello Mediterraneo, e che questo fenomeno socio-culturale sia stato indagato a livello fotografico da parte di fotografi della stessa Gran Bretagna, di questi cito quattro nomi. Un importante fotografo, che probabilmente ispirò i successivi fotografi, fu Tony Ray-Jones, scomparso prematuramente nel 1972, alla giovane età di 30 anni, il quale cercava di realizzare una “memoria fotografica” degli stereotipi del popolo inglese; il famoso fotoreporter Martin Parr, il quale pur ispirandosi al precedente, se ne differenzia per il suo modo di fare “satira sociale” col suo obiettivo; infine desidero menzionare David Hurn e Simon Roberts, quest’ultimo con fotografie di più ampio respiro, con fotografie più distaccate dal singolo individuo. In Italia numerosi sono i fotografi (ne cito solo qualcuno) che hanno realizzato nella loro lunga carriera immagini colte in località balneari (genericamente si parla di “beach photography” affine alla “street photography”), fotografie spesso uniche nel loro stile, come quello adottato da Franco Fontana, menziono Mimmo Jodice, Ferdinando Scianna (del quale mi onoro di averlo conosciuto personalmente), e Massimo Vitali, famoso fotografo (da alcuni inteso come “il fotografo delle spiagge”), soprattutto per le sue bellissime fotografie realizzate sui lidi (ma non solo), grazie alla presenza di strutture fisse sopraelevate a mò di soppalco, costruite appositamente nei lidi balneari per la realizzazione delle sue fotografie. Questo mio incipit, per introdurre il tema da me affrontato, quello della “beach photography”, con una serie di fotografie realizzate nelle spiagge della Sicilia Orientale, la maggior parte delle quali si trovano nei pressi di Taormina.

The amazing art work of Fiona Fei. If you have not been to Dream to she her 3D exhibition you need to go. Go to the room and donate to the cause.
*******************
*Make sure you turn on particles!*
"Rising" is an installation created for One Billion Rising, a call to action based on the staggering statistic that 1 in 3 women on earth will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. That’s ONE BILLION WOMEN!
My art tries to capture the moment when a person who has endured rape, sexual abuse, or violence of any kind finally breaks free of the pain that they've experienced, be it physical or emotional. The rising hand-drawn particles of women floating up is a literal interpretation of "one billion rising", as they join in the collective celebration to end the abuse and suffering, rising from the darkness of their painful past. I made each particle to be scaled to our human size so that they are more relatable, and visitors could feel that they are a part of the collective.
I really wanted to give the feeling that pain or abuse - represented by black splotches in the background and on the 3D hand sculptures - doesn't have to last. This is especially expressed in the animated textures on some of the hands, representing change. As we grow as individuals, the pain that has been brought on us takes on a different form, one that can unite us to become stronger than who we used to be.
