Sicily. Ortygia, Syracusa.
Late spring break.
The third chapel is the one consecrated to the "Santissimo Sacramento", also called the "Torres chapel", is defined artistically and structurally as the most beautiful in the Cathedral, due to its frescoes on the dome and due to the elaborate architectural decorations that compose it.
It was built in 1616 by the brothers Andrea and Giovanni Vermexio. Its plan is octagonal and its main feature are the wall bas-reliefs that surround it, composed of Corinthian-style columns adorned with numerous gilded finishes. In Baroque style, the center of the chapel has a tabernacle (or ciborium) in gilded wood in the shape of a small temple, the work of the Neapolitan architect and painter Luigi Vanvitelli, known for being the one who designed the Royal Palace of Caserta in Naples. On the sides of the altar there are two portals, surrounded by elaborate sculptural decorations, which lead to the Sacristy of the Cathedral.
At the center of the altar there is a carved marble frontal, the work of the Florentine sculptor Filippo Valle who worked there in 1762 and which depicts the Last Supper of Jesus. The marble balustrade and the artistic decoration of the floor are the work of the Palermitan Ignazio Marabitti and Neapolitan Giovan Battista Marino, the contract for the work was made to them by the Syracusan architect Pompeo Picherali who, now in old age, admired the work of the young Marabitti and entrusted them with the work in 1746. The floor of the chapel is thought to be the work of the same two sculptors mentioned above, but we rely on intuition for the attribution since no document in this regard has been found, however by observing the similarity and similar harmony that exists with the balustrade, this theory has therefore been deduced.
In the chapel, on the left side, there is the Sepulcher of Archbishop Luigi Bignami, a structure sculpted by the Catanese sculptor Sebastiano Agati. Also laterally in the chapel there is also a precious statue depicting the Madonna del Rosario, the work of unknown artists, the statue is placed on a small altar, placed on a cavity which is surrounded by two slender Corinthian-style marble columns that overlook the gray -green and above them there is a worked tympanum with sculpted bas-reliefs in the center. Three cartaglorias were the work of the Roman silversmith Giuseppe Veladier (1791. The censers and the shuttle were the work of the silversmith Lorenzo Petronelli and other silver furnishings were instead the work of the Syracusan Chindemi brothers. He informs in his studies about the silverware of the chapel, and to relations with the Roman silverware school, the Syracusan (from Canicattini Bagni) Giuseppe Agnello
The wrought iron gates with the Eucharistic symbols found between the Doric columns and the entrance to the chapel were worked by Domenico Ruggeri from Catania on the designs of Alessandro Campo in 1807-1811. The chapel is also called "Torres" because it was the Spanish bishop of Syracuse, Juan de Torres Osorio, who wanted its construction and edification, for this reason the chapel, in addition to the sacrament to which it was dedicated, also bears his name

Subió la cuesta en un suspiro, sin mirar atrás.
No quiso ver la cara del dueño de esos pasos que le seguían.

He climbed the hill in a heartbeat, without looking back.
He would not see the face of the owner of those footsteps following him.

Third teaser of my coming creation (Spring 2017), no longer have any pieces... Some LEGOs orders are now on the agenda to finish it as quick and as properly as possible !
I am really excited about this creation, and once it's out, I hope you'll appreciate it !

Marking my third catch of a Montana Rail Link SD70ACE, MRL #4305 trails behind two BNSF Gevos on an EB Q train for Cicero. While this isn’t as dramatic as the first time(s) I caught MRL units in my area (let alone two in one day), this was still a major highlight of the day and it’s good to know that BNSF is finally putting these units on trains that aren’t coal trains!
Before I end off here, I’d like to take the time to remind many of how Montana Rail Link power used to be relatively common as foreign power and how they used to have far greater roots in Illinois. When first created some of their units could sometimes be seen on BN (later BNSF) trackage and there was a slight chance they could even make appearances on foreign railroads! But in the early to mid 90s, MRL even took ownership of the ex Milwaukee Road trackage between Elgin, IL (East of there is the Metra owned Milwaukee West Line to Chicago just to point out for my fellow fans along that territory) and Iowa and other lines that radiated off that set of trackage in Iowa, Missouri, and Minnesota from SOO Line/CP Rail. To top it off, they even created a whole new railroad known as the “I&M Rail Link” (reporting mark IMRL) to operate this trackage (note both MRL and IMRL still used the same dark blue MRL paint scheme btw)!
However in the early 2000s, IMRL wasn’t making much of a profit so all of its trackage was sold to the Dakota, Minnesota, and Eastern Railroad (DM&E) which in 2002 created the Iowa, Chicago, and Eastern Railroad (IC&E) to operate this new territory for the DM&E (both roads locomotives sported a badass blue and gold paint job and we’re sometimes interchanged with each other on occasion for road trains)!
However, in 2008, CP ended up taking back what used to theirs and chopped up a potential plan to reach the powder river basin and sold some of old DM&E mainlines in North Dakota to the Genesee and Wyoming owned “Rapid City, Pierre, and Eastern” (reporting mark RCPE. Also thanks a lot Hunter Harrison).
The way MRL managed to grow as a company will always be interesting after its 1987 startup to being acquired by BNSF in the beginning of 2024. It was quite possibly one of the most profitable and successful regional railroads alongside the Wisconsin Central who also was starting to get a kickstart around the same time span which goes to show even the smallest of railroads can put itself to the test!

There was a much more sharply defined sun pillar a few moments before I took this shot -- as I fumbled with my camera, the light began to spread out across the clouds, leaving only the suggestion of a pillar.
Just about all the fresh water ponds on the island are frozen solid, so a large number of ducks and geese were using this quiet cove -- in the corner of Third Beach -- as a refuge.
Greater Manchesters third Leyland Titan storms through Piccadilly bus station in April 1985 having arrived from Stockport. Of the 190 Titans originally ordered only fifteen were to materialise and this one was the first of five to be powered by Leylands TL11 engine. Indeed the five were the first buses in the GMT fleet to feature a turbocharged engine, the remaining ten having Gardners naturally aspirated 6LXB unit. Initially allocated to Birchfields Road garage it was soon dispatched to Stockport to join the other four so as to keep all the Leyland powered vehicles together. The Gardner vehicles would later settle at the tiny garage at Glossop after briefly working five apiece from Birchfields and Oldham.

Is the unlucky one who has to team up with me whenever we play badminton. In the game we played after this photo was shot, the third man was Maddi :); Vinay and Raj played against us.
[My friend who used to play badminton at state level once told me long back that if I ever wanted to get good at this sport I should play with guys because they will be much more aggressive and their smashes will be much more difficult to return. I can say for sure playing is loads of fun but since I started playing so late in life I do not have the moves - my backhand is nonexistent and my smashes are weak at best :(. Hopefully, I will improve and maybe then, the third man will be lucky when I team up with him! ]
Metropolitan Vickers centre third rail loco (Works No.20068 built in 1929), one of three identical at the wash mills at A.P.C.M. Highsted Chalk Pit, near Sittingbourne, Kent, on 7th June 1969. Highsted had an independent standard gauge rail network and the 250v DC electrical equipment and rolling stock were moved to Sittingbourne from the company’s Hope works in Derbyshire in 1957. Trains of seven tipping wagons conveyed 56-tons of chalk from the pit to the old washery, where it was pipelined as slurry about 3 miles to the Smeed Dean works at Milton Creek for processing. Final closure of the system came in 1970 when the Sittingbourne works closed and the locos were scrapped circa November 1971. Imagine a third-rail electrified system in a quarry today!

Ayumi was unlucky in the recent Sexy Diva contest - one meagre vote!
She deserved another opportunity to shine.
It is said that blondes have more fun, but do they achieve less success too? ;-)
Nah. :-)

Last autumn there was a wind storm in the North Italy that destroyed hectares of wood .. today my husband and I went to see with our eyes what happened. We were speechless. These woods were very dear to me, and now they do not longer exist. Looking at this photo I realize the main subject isn't my husband but the destroyed wood.. such e reverse rule of thirds.
The 2012 transit of Venus, when the planet Venus appeared as a small, dark disk moving across the face of the Sun, began at 22:09 UTC on 5 June 2012, and finished at 04:49 UTC on 6 June. Depending on the position of the observer, the exact times varied by up to ±7 minutes. Transits of Venus are among the rarest of predictable celestial phenomena and occur in pairs eight years apart: the previous transit was in June 2004, and the next pair of transits will not occur until December 2117 and December 2125.
گذرهای سیارهای از مقابل خورشید از پدیدههای کمیاب آسماناند که از دید ناظر زمینی تنها برای دو سیاره تیر و ناهید (سیارات داخلی مدار زمین)رخ میدهند. گذرها پدیدههایی مثل خورشیدگرفتگی هستند، با این تفاوت که در خورشیدگرفتگی کامل، ماه تمام قرص خورشید را میپوشاند و دیگر نوری از خورشید به زمین نمیرسد، اما تیر و ناهید آن قدر از زمین دورند که هنگام گذر مثل لکه گرد سیاهی بر قرص درخشان خورشید دیده میشوند. موقع گذر، زمین، سیاره و خورشید بر یک خط قرار دارند. گذر تیر در هر قرن تا ۱۳ بار روی میدهد، اما گذر ناهید در بهترین شرایط هر قرن فقط ۲ بار تکرار میشود. هیچ گذر ناهیدی در قرن بیستم روی نداد.

The third section (!) of Santa Fe’s 981 train hustles through Wilbern, Illinois, on June 26, 1993. Sometimes Santa Fe could put on a really great show and run trains like streetcars!
The Third Gate and most notorious of them all....This passage was famously known as the "Bridge of Death." For years, tree limbs were set across this chasm and lumber planks were nailed across the tree limbs to provide a crossing for hikers to step over and across behind this waterfall to get to the base of Raven Rock Falls roaring below. Eventually the wooden planks began to rot and so new planks were nailed into the tree limbs. Eventually the tree limbs themselves began to rot and so the passage became all but impossible, until recently, this steel support bridge affording a strong measure of stability was installed across the chasm. If you zoom this photo, you'll see the remains of the old tree limbs full of nails. Of course a hiker still has to negotiate in and across a 6 foot stretch of slippery boulders at the edge of the bridge, but no doubt, this is far safer than the former bridge. On the way up the trail, the signs pointed in the direction of the newly named "Bridge of Doom." When I arrived I was expecting far worse, but when I saw this, I just walked across smiling! I descended the mountainside down into the shaded Toxaway River cove and in the next photo, you'll behold a magnificent sight!

So much laughter, our stomachs were hurting. Then, awkwardly, there was some chemistry floating in the air. It was so heavy...

"Sognando di nuovo quella faccia
E' vivida, blu e luccica tremolando
Sorride apertamente
E mi conforta con i suoi tre occhi caldi e selvaggi"

Finished a CPR course at uni today to find a message on my phone from a friend to give him a call ASAP with big news. Upon reaching him, was told that there was triple QRN 6020 class on BM7, followed by Indian Pacific NR leading BA4 and finally NR103. On my previous 2 attempts NR103 had been elusive, coming after dark or not leading.
As we reached Pennant Hills, the triple QRN 6020 class went through so I knew I had just enough time to race home and get my camera and get back down for a shot.
Having sprinted to the car, raced home and then back to Cheltenham, I found my efforts were not in vain as a suburban to Chatswood was still to arrive. Seeing this I was able to relax a little and set up my shot. Shortly afterwards, NR103 appeared heading south making all the effort put in for the shot completely worth it

Working on seeing color once again, with the Rolleiflex and Ektar. While a mix of subject matter and geography, I see I am attracted to shadows (as usual) and bright colors (reds, oranges). I am totally remiss in using my lens hood for some reason; I carry it around, and it stays off 99.9% of the time. When I unload my camera I always think 'why don't I use this?' Thanks for the inspiration, fellow flickeranians - it really pushes me to do better!
Looking back to the third pinnacle of Sgurr nan Gillean's Pinnacle Ridge, where we decided to deploy the rope for a nice abseil. We couldn't use the upper point to start our abseil because our rope had only 40m. Next time I'll bring a 50m half rope, as the 40m was even a bit too short for the abseil from the slightly lower start at that beak of rock on the top right.
That ledge on the right leading out of the frame of the picture is that wonderful "nicest walking terrain" from the previous photo.
