Dopo il film Riso Amaro ho lungamente sognato Silvana Mangano, quelle calze nere di mondina infilate su due gambe senza fine; adesso Silvana non c'è più, io cammino sul viale del tramonto, il riso no.
Perciò continuo a cantare le lodi di quest'umile cereale che per la nostra felicità muore tre volte: nell'acqua, nella salsa, nel vino.
Ho sempre ammirato la legge dei contrari, fa nascere dal turpe fango degli stagni una creatura cosi pulita e gustosa.
" CESARE MARCHI"
A touch of Autumn colour on the trees at the National Trust property, Emmetts Garden, near Sevenoaks in Kent.
The glowing embesr of sunset across Black Swan Lake at Dinton Pastures Country Park in Reading - a better exposed shot than previous attempt!
Where there are flowers there are insects either pollinating the flowers or waiting to catch some unwary meal. Bromeliad and insect. "On your Turps" Restaurant, Turentine Road Daintree, Far North Queensland. Didn't quite make this for the Macro Mondays Group!
LA CACCIATRICE DI TAGLIE HA CATTURATO LA BELLA ODALISCA DESIDERATA DAL TURPE PERSONAGGIO MISTERIOSO.......
AVRA' IL CORAGGIO DI CONSEGNARLA???
E’ vano ed illusorio progettare. Viviamo questi ultimi scampoli di presente, consci che l’ingranaggio sta per incepparsi. D’altronde non ci si può augurare che l’attuale stato di cose continui ancora a lungo, logorato da una decadenza sempre più turpe, in uno stillicidio intollerabile.

Bergsteigerehrenmal an der Hohen Liebe in der Sächsischen Schweiz
Mit der Wende und der deutschen Einheit ergaben sich auch für die sächsischen Klettersportler völlig neue Reiseziele und Möglichkeiten. Dem Wunsch, auch die höchsten Berge der Welt zu erklimmen und als erster Sachse auf dem Mount Everest zu stehen standen zumindest keine politischen Grenzen mehr im Wege.
1994 gelingt Lutz Protze und Thomas Türpe als ersten Sachsen die Besteigung eines 8.000ers, des Cho Oyu (8.188 Meter). Weitere Gipfelerfolge gelingen in den folgenden Jahren:
- 1995 am Broad Peak (8.051 Meter) durch Jörg Leupold, Jörg Ehrlich und Markus Walter,
- 1997 erneut am Cho Oyu durch Markus Walter, Götz Wiegand und Jörg Leupold,
- 1999 am Manaslu (8.163 Meter) durch Götz Wiegand, Jörg Stingl, Markus Walter, Volker Tiller, Dieter Rülker und Reinhard Mittag und am Cho Oyu durch Winfried Kraus, Olaf Rieck und Thomas Türpe,
- 2000 am Makalu (8.485 Meter) durch Olaf Zill, Götz Wiegand, Frank Meutzner, Thomas Türpe und Bernd Mehnert,
- 2001 am Cho Oyu durch Jürgen Hadel und am Gasherbrum II (8.034 Meter) durch Olaf Rieck, Markus Walter und Christian Walter,
- 2002 am Cho Oyu durch Thomas Türpe,
- 2003 am Dhaulagiri (8.167 Meter) durch Olaf Zill.
Nach mehreren vergeblichen Versuchen gelingt 2001 Jörg Zill als ersten Sachsen auch die Besteigung des Mount Everest (8.848 Meter).
Nicht immer nahmen die sächsischen Hochgebirgsexpeditionen jedoch ein gutes Ende. Unvorhersehbare Wetterverhältnisse, Lawinengefahr, Sauerstoffmangel und die Fehleinschätzung der eigenen Fähigkeiten forderten ihre Opfer. 2000 starb Bernd Mehnert beim Abstieg vom Makalu, 2003 starb Günter Welkisch am Cho Oyu.
Ihm und allen anderen bei Bergunfällen ums Leben gekommenen Bergsteigern ist das Bergsteigerdenkmal auf der Hohen Liebe gewidmet.

L' ASTRONAVE DODGE DURANGO SLT
Stiamo tornando verso il residence,
ho ancora negli occhi i personaggi che ho incontrato.
Vorrei abbracciarli tutti mi hanno dato tanto.
Sono felice che ho potuto raccontarlo anche a voi.
L'auto sfreccia veloce, le strade assolate sono semi deserte.
Quanto colore sui muri, a queste latitudini è ancora più smagliante.
La vacanza procede bene.
Anche per alcuni accorgimenti da turisti navigati.
Uno di questi,
potersi muovere in piena autonomia senza sottostare ad orari e mezzi pubblici.
Per quello che volevamo fare, dovevamo noleggiare un mezzo adeguato.
Ovvio, abbiamo dovuto prendere una grande auto.
In 6 persone con bagagli per 2 settimane, è stata una scelta obbligata.
Il noleggio è stato piuttosto caro, ma ci ha permesso di essere totalmente indipendenti.
L'abbiamo soprannominata "l'astronave" e lo era veramente.
Mai avevo viaggiato con così tanto comfort.
Con una cilindrata 5.700 assicurava la più totale affidabilità.
Certo beveva più di un turpe alcolizzato.
Ci siamo affidati a lei nel macinare chilometri.
Oltre 2000, visitando mezzo Yucatan.
Memorabile il trasferimento alla cittadina di Valladolid, dove abbiamo alloggiato in hotel un paio di notti.
Più avanti nel racconto ne parleremo nei dettagli.

Taken from the deck of the Mallaig-Rum ferry, MV Loch Nevis, looking across the Sleat Peninsula and toward Elgol on Isle of Skye.
The view looking north from the Empire State Building in New York.
Struggled to get a decent night shot as difficult to wedge the camera still, although at least the wire mesh surrounding the Observation Deck gives a modicum of support.

Shoreditch church (dedicated to St Leonard) is of ancient origin and features in the famous line: 'when I grow rich say the bells of Shoreditch', from the nursery rhyme: Oranges and Lemons.
The original church is possibly Saxon in origin, though the first historical reference to it occurs in the 12th century.
It is noted as the burial place of several members of the theatrical profession, from the Elizabethan period, including:
James Burbage, the founder of The Theatre, England's first playhouse, built in Shoreditch in 1576.
His son Richard, who was the leading man in many of Shakespeare's plays, which were first performed in the contemporary Shoreditch theatres.
The comedian Richard Tarlton, who was a stalwart of the pre-Shakespearian stage.
These, with others of their profession from the period, are commemorated by a large classical memorial erected by the London Shakespeare League in 1913, inside the church, which serves as a reminder of Shoreditch's Shakespearian heritage.
[edit]Current building
The Revd Paul Turp
Following the partial collapse of of the tower in 1716 the medieval church was rebuilt in Palladian style 1736-40, with a soaring steeple of original design, 192 feet tall, and a giant four columned, pedimented Tuscan portico. Inside the church the entablature is supported by giant Doric columns. The new church was designed by George Dance, architect of the Mansion House. Many original eighteenth century fixtures and fittings remain, including the font, the pulpit, the communion table, clock, organ case, bread cupboards and commandment boards. It was lit with gaslight in 1817, the first in London. One of its parishioners at that time was James Parkinson, after whom Parkinson's disease is named.
The parish stocks and whipping post stand in the porch of the church and in the churchyard is the Shoreditch parish pump
''...anche sul trono più alto del mondo, si sta seduti sul proprio culo...''

''...Mentre fantasticavo stu penziero,
s'era ggià fatta quase mezanotte,
e i' rumanette 'nchiuso priggiuniero,
muorto 'e paura...nnanze 'e cannelotte.
Tutto a 'nu tratto,che veco 'a luntano?
Ddoje ombre avvicenarse 'a parte mia...
Penzaje: stu fatto a me mme pare strano...
Stongo scetato...dormo, o è fantasia?
Ate che fantasia; era 'o Marchese:
c'o' tubbo,'a caramella e c'o' pastrano;
chill'ato apriesso a isso un brutto arnese;
tutto fetente e cu 'na scopa mmano.
E chillo certamente è don Gennaro...
'o muorto puveriello...'o scupatore.
'Int 'a stu fatto i' nun ce veco chiaro:
so' muorte e se ritirano a chest'ora?
Putevano sta' 'a me quase 'nu palmo,
quando 'o Marchese se fermaje 'e botto,
s'avota e tomo tomo..calmo calmo,
dicette a don Gennaro: "Giovanotto!
Da Voi vorrei saper, vile carogna,
con quale ardire e come avete osato
di farvi seppellir, per mia vergogna,
accanto a me che sono blasonato!
La casta è casta e va, si, rispettata,
ma Voi perdeste il senso e la misura;
la Vostra salma andava, si, inumata;
ma seppellita nella spazzatura!
Ancora oltre sopportar non posso
la Vostra vicinanza puzzolente,
fa d'uopo, quindi, che cerchiate un fosso
tra i vostri pari,tra la vostra gente"
"Signor Marchese, nun è colpa mia,
i' nun v'avesse fatto chistu tuorto;
mia moglie è stata a ffa' sta fesseria,
i' che putevo fa' si ero muorto?
Si fosse vivo ve farrie cuntento,
pigliasse 'a casciulella cu 'e qquatt'osse
e proprio mo, obbj'...'nd'a stu mumento
mme ne trasesse dinto a n'ata fossa".
"E cosa aspetti, oh turpe malcreato,
che l'ira mia raggiunga l'eccedenza?
Se io non fossi stato un titolato
avrei già dato piglio alla violenza!"
"Famme vedé.. - piglia sta violenza...
'A verità, Marché, mme so' scucciato
'e te senti; e si perdo 'a pacienza,
mme scordo ca so' muorto e so mazzate!...
Ma chi te cride d'essere...nu ddio?
Ccà dinto, 'o vvuo capi, ca simmo eguale?...
...Muorto si 'tu e muorto so' pur'io;
ognuno comme a 'n'ato è tale e quale".

Have my usual moan about Flickr display algorithms not being able to handle excessive shadow or highlight!
Bit of a cheat, didn't fancy having to get up at 3am in the UK to photograph the supermoon, so took this not long after sunset at Dungeness when the rising moon caught the last rays of the setting sun.
Everyone has heard of Virgil and Wyatt Earp; well, if you are interested in American wild west history, that is. However, little is known
about their distant second cousins, Burp and Turp Earp. It seems Burp and Turp were electrical lineman in the Mojave Desert of California
for many years, but, neither one could hold a job for long. They would come into town after work and get tanked on Sarsaparilla and then
go out and shoot insulators off the cross arms of the poles they had strung wire on. It seems their other brother by another mother, Phelony
Earp, was an electrical insulator manufacturer and all three brothers were in cahoots to try and bolster Phelony's business.

Randsburg, California 2014
An oldie but goldie. Eilean Donan Castle, Scotland's most photographed castle......photographed again for good measure.
On a bit of a roll with these images, enhanced with the usual sky, diffusion and reflection. Will soon get this out of my system!
A different view of the castle can be seen here
A winter Sunset at Bluebell Hill in Kent. A covering of snow was the precursor to the later heavier snowfall.
Swirling twilight cloud surrounding the Lismore Lighthouse which projects into the Sound of Mull just off the coast from Oban.
Something of an experiment - how to do Rounded Edges directly in Lightroom without Photoshop. Found this video Lightroom Rounded Corners by Matt Kloskowski. That's not to say that roundy edges are good thing though!
The image is the wire globe at NordKapp, Norway, furthest point north on the European mainland. It's about 1/2 hour drive from Honningsvag where apart from the globe you'll find the obligatory, but very good, Tourist Centre. For the record, Latitude is 71d, 10',21" North.
If heaven is a place on earth it might be in Wasdale in the Lake District. With glorious weather, the Lake District in Cumbria is stunning. Despite visiting in late September, this is the first time I've been there when it wasn't raining and what a difference. This is Wastwater with Scafell Pike peaking through at Wasdale Head, claimed as one of the best views in the UK which I'd have to agree with.
Press L and then F11 for Full Screen
Big sky, big mountains, big Fjords, great clouds, Norway at it's best. The scenery of Storfjord on the way out of Gerainger
A tad crazy, and the colours don't look anything like the original, but this is what I get up to when I'm not taking photos. Oh, and working. I've spent the afternoon playing with oils, can you smell the turps fumes?!
