Calella, Catalunya (Spain). I was on top of the Torretes hill for a sunrise session, absolutely alone - the very few people I had bumped into while walking along the quiet streets of Calella towards the hills were not early-risers but rather (half-drunken) late-stayers :-).
At some point I heard the faint noise of an approaching car winding up a gravel road - it is a distinctive noise, you know, growing and decreasing with the curves of the road. So I discovered that on the opposite side of the hill there was a dirt road leading almost to the towers.
The driver was a middle-aged tall, fair-haired man - a German, I suppose. Some silent greetings, not to disturb the peace of the place. He was there, just like me, to capture the magic of sunrise from that vantage point. He brought out his cell phone and took some shots ( I could hear the "click" at every shot, amplified by silence). Then he made himself comfortable leaning against the wooden structure of the observation point and, forgetting completely the growing fires of the sunrise and the glittering, rippled surface of the sea ... he begun chatting on his phone :-)) So I captured the scene to upload it as a memento: every moment in our life has its top priorities - let everyone determine her own :-)!

Italy, pizza, “Portobello”, thin pizza with a golden brown crusty border, outside crunchy, inside soft, topped with pizza sauce, buffalo mozzarella & grated Appenzeller cheese, Portobello mushrooms, rosemary.
Italian Pizza should be baked at temperatures between 360°C - 575°F & 426°C - 800°F, best in a pizza wood-fired brick oven by placing them on the very hot oven stone floor. If the oven dome has the above mentioned baking temperature, the oven floor will typically be cooler than that temperature.
📌...This very tasty variant of the brown mushroom came from America via the Netherlands to Europe, also known as a “Grill-Mushroom”.
The Portobello becomes a giant mushroom thanks to a special cultivation method. The mushroom has a large cap measuring 6 to 12 cm in size with a small stalk. The fins on the underside of the hat are brown in colour & clearly visible. The flesh is brown & very firm good for grilling, without the stalk also for stuffing & baked in the oven, also great as a tempura etc. etc.
📌…. a little slice of Italian pizza history..............
Etymologically, the term “Picea or Piza” first appeared in the Neapolitan dialect around the year 1000 & meant something like "push, jolt" & thus probably referred to the hand movement when lifting the pizza with a pizza turning peel out of the oven.
Tomatoes were first introduced to Italy from South America in 1522. At first the tomato was believed by the poorer peasants to be poisonous, fortunately they farmers overcame their doubts about tomatoes in the 17th century & started adding it to the bread dough,…focaccia was created & became the "gran, gran, gran mother" of today's pizzas.
Mozzarella had become available in Italy after water buffalos were imported from India in the 7th century, but its popularity grew very slowly until the last half of the 18th century. Like the growing acceptance of tomatoes, mozzarella cheese was slowly gaining ground too. But the cheese & tomatoes did not meet on a pizza until 1889 when Don Raffaele Esposito, an Italian tavern owner developed a pizza featuring tomatoes, mozzarella cheese & basil, components bearing the colours of the Italian flag. He named it "Pizza Margherita", after the Queen of Italy, Margherita Teresa Giovanni.
Italy unified in 1861, King Umberto I & Queen Margherita visited Naples in 1889, legend has it that the traveling pair became bored with their steady diet of French haute cuisine & asked for an assortment of pizzas from the city’s Pizzeria Brandi.
In the late half of the 19th century, Italians migrated to North-America & with them their pizza bread recipe from Naples, replicating their trusty, crusty pizzas in New York & other American cities, relatively quickly, the flavours & aromas of pizza began to intrigue also non-Italians.
Beginning of the 20th century, Italian immigrants begun to open their own bakeries & were selling besides groceries as well pizza. The first documented United States pizzeria was Gennaro Lombardi’s, licensed to sell pizza in 1905 on Spring Street in Manhattan, a part known as “Little Italy” Lombardi’s, is still in operation today, however, no longer at its 1905 site, but has the same oven as it did originally. Pizza as we know & the world likes took the United States by storm before it became popular in its native Italy
Especially in the 50th, pizza’s popularity in the United States boomed & no longer seen as an Italian folkloric treat, it was increasingly identified as fast & fun food. Regional, decidedly non-Neapolitan variations emerged, eventually including California-gourmet pizzas topped with anything from barbecued chicken to smoked salmon.
Post-war pizza finally reached Italy & beyond their borders also influenced by the starting tourism. Like blue jeans, rock & roll, fast food etc. the Italians & the rest of the world picked up on pizza just because it was "Americano"…easy to eat, fast & tasty.
📍 …So actually pizza the way we like it is an "Italo-American" creation.
I personally like the pizza thin with a nice crunchy crust, fresh & hot with the particular flavour only a pizza right out of a pizza wood-fired brick oven has, sprinkled with a little oregano & a drizzle of Calabrian native olive oil, …but there is a pizza for each & everyone's age, taste & favours.
👉…One World one Dream,
🙏...Danke, Xièxie 谢谢, Thanks, Gracias, Merci, Grazie, Obrigado, Arigatô, Dhanyavad, Chokrane to you & over

Remember the Battle of Midway today. If the U.S. would have lost that battle we would have lost the war both in the Pacific theater and the European theater. Although unimaginable to some, and hardly a thought to others, this world would be a completely different place if Hitler would have triumphed in Europe.
I hadn't seen an oil can like that since I was a kid, but it's a long time since I was around a working steam locomotive. I guess the two go together.

Essa foto, a TOP 9 de 2018, foi feita em um dos últimos dias do ano. Passeando pela Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas vi esse biguá (Phalacrocorax brasilianus) bicho comum, pensei em não fotografar, depois de um tempo sentado perto, gostei da posse dele e fui até lá, me surpreendi com a plumagem com cores muito vivas e um percevejo andando em seu pescoço. Fotografei estourando o fundo para o foco ser total na ave e na sua elegância única e acabei adorando a foto. Um lembrete para quando eu pensar em esnobar uma oportunidade fotográfica novamente.

This photo, the TOP 9 of 2018, was taken on one of the last days of the year. Walking by Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon I saw this quite common Neotropical Cormorant (Phalacrocorax brasilianus), I thought not to photograph it, but after a while sitting near it, I liked the pose it was displaying and I went there, I was surprised by the plumage with very vivid colors and a bug walking in his neck. I photographed clipping the background aiming to shift the focus of the shot to the bird and its unique elegance.I ended up adoring the photo. A reminder for when I think of snubbing a photo opportunity again.
Có lẽ em sai khi gặp anh
Có lẽ em nên im lặng thêm
Chỉ là 1 điều thoáng qua rồi
Chẳng hiểu điều gì khiến em không tin
Không sao, vậy thì xin hãy đau thêm một lần
Có lẽ em nên đi khỏi đây
Nhắm mắt quên đi như chẳng hay
Chỉ là 1 người quá xa lạ
Tự nhủ lòng mình cố quên đi mau
Nhưng không, làm sao em quên kỷ niệm ngày xưa..
Private home at Coral Strand, a sandy beach in the Mannion Bay near the village of Ballyconneely at the Wild Atlantic Way, Ballyconneely, County Galway, Ireland
Some background information:
The Wild Atlantic Way is a tourism trail on the west coast, and on parts of the north and south coasts, of Ireland. The serrated logo of the Wild Atlantic Way symbolises the letters W – A - W. The 2,500 km (1,553 mile) driving route passes through nine counties and three provinces, stretching from County Donegal's Inishowen Peninsula in the very north of Ireland to Kinsale, County Cork, on the Celtic Sea coast in the very south. Along the route there are 157 discovery points, 1,000 attractions and more than 2,500 activities. In 2014, the route was officially launched by the Republic of Ireland’s Minister of State for Tourism and Sport, Michael Ring.
However, the roads forming the Wild Atlantic Way have always been favoured by locals and tourists alike for generations even before they became known collectively as the Wild Atlantic Way route. They offer truly spectacular Atlantic ocean vistas as well as many places to visit and sights by the roadside. More than 150 locations have been officially designated as Discovery Points. These have been marked locally with a special signpost. Coral Strand, the beach on this photo, is such a Discovery Point. We didn’t know that when we were there, but I have reinvestigated it back home.
A further 15 locations are highlighted as Signature Discovery Points of special importance. These are the 15 best stops along the Wild Atlantic Way. From north to south, these places are: Malin Head, County Donegal, Fanad Head, County Donegal, Slieve League, County Donegal, Mullaghmore Head, County Sligo, Downpatrick Head, County Mayo, Keem Strand, County Mayo, Killary Harbour, County Mayo, Derrigimlagh Bog, County Galway, Cliffs of Moher, County Clare, Loop Head, County Clare, Blasket’s View, County Kerry, Skellig’s View, Bray Head on Valentia Island, County Kerry, Dursey Island, County Cork, Mizen Head, County Cork, and Old Head of Kinsale, County Cork.
Nevertheless, I personally believe that it’s even better to make your own discoveries while travelling on the Wild Atlantic Way. The reason is that many of these Signatory Discovery Points of special importance are widely known and hence, often overrun with visitors, in particular during the high season. But other spots roadside are similarly beautiful while being less frequented. So my tip would be: Just travel unprejudicedly and stop wherever you feel like it and enjoy the view. If you act like this, you’ll hardly be able to drive more than 20 km without any stopover.
County Galway is a county in the west of Ireland, taking up the south of the province of Connacht. The traditional county includes the city of Galway, but the city and county are separate local government areas. Currently, the population of the county is more than 276,000. In the west of the county, there are several Irish-speaking areas.
The first inhabitants in the Galway area arrived over 7000 years ago. The county originally comprised several kingdoms and territories which predate the formation of the county. These kingdoms included Aidhne, Uí Maine, Maigh Seóla, Conmhaícne Mara, Soghain and Máenmaige. In 1569, County Galway became an official entity. The region known as Connemara retains a distinct identity within the county, though its boundaries are unclear. Hence, it may account for as much as one third or as little as 20% of the county. Places of interest in Galway are among others the Connemara National Park, Kylemore Abbey and Dunguaire Castle.
