And to celebrate Portugal victory nothing better than the iconic Tower of Belém on the bank of the Tagus River in Lisbon, Portugal.

This is the upper floor of the Palace of Charles V in Granada, which gives to the interior patio.

This amazing architecture of this building was a complete antithesis to me, although its totally square outside, it's interior it's a perfect circle.

Again, not allowed to use tripod so had to improvise.

The journey can be fun. Roll down the windows (only if the skies are clear) and let your hair blow in the wind. I miss the days of no A/C and you had those little triangle windows up front.

Happy Saturday

"She said: What is history?

And he said: History is an angel being blown backwards into the future

He said: History is a pile of debris

And the angel wants to go back and fix things

To repair the things that have been broken

But there is a storm blowing from Paradise

And the storm keeps blowing the angel backwards into the future

And this storm, this storm is called Progress"

 

- Laurie Anderson, "The Dream Before (for Walter Benjamin)"

La Rocca dei Tempesta è un castello situato a Noale, nella città metropolitana di Venezia.

 

La rocca si presume risalga al XII secolo e fu residenza dei Tempesta, Signori di Noale. Fu utilizzata per scopi militari fino al XV secolo, per poi divenire sede del Podestà sino al definitivo abbandono nel Settecento: da allora molte parti dell'ormai cadente struttura vennero deliberatamente demolite per ricavarne materiali da costruzione "a beneficio della comunità". Nei secoli XIX e XX fu usata come cimitero della città.

 

La fortificazione medievale, di cui oggi rimangono solo gli imponenti ruderi circondati dal fossato e dalle acque del fiume Marzenego, è stata ristrutturata ed è visitabile in occasione di visite guidate o manifestazioni.

Saint-Jean Monolithic church en Aubeterre-sur-Dronne La France

 

A monolithic church or rock-hewn church is a church made from a single block of stone. The churches are usually hewn into the ground or into the side of a hill or mountain and can be of comparable architectural complexity to constructed buildings

This station was opened in 1887 and closed in May 1987. A curiosity was the short-term use of this station as a discotheque in 2012.

When my Dad passed away we found this key in one of his drawers. To this day we don't know the story behind it? Since we moved from Italy to Canada, we think it belonged to a door there, that meant something to him. Sadly we'll never know.

 

I am able to display it in my Dad's honour at home, in this beautiful frame I found.

Located within the boundaries of Baisha Town, Yangshuo County, Fuli Bridge was built over 500 years ago in the Ming Dynasty. The bridge measures 30 meters in length, 10 meters in height and 5 meters in width.

 

Single-arched stone bridges were a common type of bridge built in ancient China due to their strength and sturdiness, and like many of them, the Fuli Bridge has survived thanks to its high resistance to weathering.

chapter five:

the past

( all the tenses )

“At last I was ready to let go. I thought it would make me feel sad, but instead there is a great sense of freedom … a lightness of being seldom felt. I was holding on to threads of a past life … dusty cobwebs; brittle with age; they served no-one well. Once we walked hand in hand; side by side, but our paths now have taken different directions and I smile happily for him as I watch him go. He has found a happy ending; one that I could not give him and a great peace has settled around my shoulders; replacing the heaviness of responsibility I had previously felt for his happiness. I continue to declutter my house and my life and the space left behind is not empty, but the essence of true tranquility … “ - excerpt from a short story called “Goodbye to H” by AP

 

“I am and always have been a rebel, never caving into peer pressure; standing up for what I believe in; fighting against injustices; for those who cannot defend themselves and still it is possible to remain true to my inner core. These days my approach is softer; my words are gentler, because it really is not about who shouts the loudest. Even the stillest, smallest voice can be heard above the cacophony of sound in a noisy world … the secret is not really a secret at all … it is faith … it is hope … it is love.“ - AP

MAKE ME SMILE – STEVE HARLEY & COCKNEY REBEL

 

Last night I lay awake and silently listened

the window open; I heard the sea breeze sigh

I thought I heard the sound of a bittern

above the gulls and rolling tide

the moon looked down and smiled at me

her glow mercurial lit my face

I swear I heard the sands sweet whispers

weaving a dream like silken lace

oh what a tangled blue web you wove

spinning your tales and all your woes

I am free of you now; I'm letting you go

what comes in with the ocean cleanses all that it knows

no longer do I wander up and down

looking for signs; searching for clues

I know everything now; more than you know

you were never the one; you could never be true

still I will wonder what's out there for me

and pray I will know it when it rolls in from the sea

a message in a bottle; a heart-shaped pebble

a sweet cockleshell may play Cockney Rebel

I'll hold it up to my ear; hear it's secrets intent

for the sound of my loved one and all that he sent

he'll tell me he loves me and mean it this time

I'll love him forever; until I run out of rhyme

he will light up my face from now 'til the end

never cause me sorrow;

always be there tomorrow

a small satisfied smile hovers on my soft lips

as I succumb to my dreams and time is let slip.

365: the 2022 Edition 222/365

 

This is the first time I have taken my camera out in so long I am ashamed to admit! I have been busy! Taking time for the things for me that give me peace, has been few and far between. It was nice to get out with a friend and snap some shots of rural Michigan. I have also tried my hand at a new editing program, Aurora HDR. I am not usually a fan of HDR, but trying something new is one of my new year resolutions. Why not give it a whirl?

 

I hope all of you are well! :)

Spotted this beauty in someone's driveway. Had to share it with you all. Happy weekend my friends =)

Nestled on the rocky terrain of Jodhpur, Rajasthan, Mehrangarh Fort stands as a symbol of regal magnificence and historical significance. This massive fortification, perched 400 feet above the city, is not only a testament to the architectural prowess of its time but also a repository of fascinating tales and captivating legends.

 

To enter the fort, one must pass through a series of seven imposing gates, each with its own story and purpose. The architecture of Mehrangarh Fort reflects the skill and craftsmanship of the Rajput artisans. The palaces within the fort are adorned with intricate carvings, latticed windows, and beautiful courtyards that showcase the grandeur of a bygone era.

Bagan is famous for its sunrises, which cast light against over 2,200 of ancient temples and pagodas and they are even more incredible from the soaring heights of a hot air balloon to take in the incredible history spread across the plains of Bagan.

An evening shot taken outside of Carrog station, near Llangollen in North Wales. Abandonment as with these old railway trucks can really add to the atmosphere of a scene.

Some 10-12,000 years ago a giant Ice Age glacier sat here, depositing the lateral moraines that make up the tree covered hillsides today.
