Spanish
La Puerta de Alcalá es una de las cinco antiguas puertas reales que daban acceso a la ciudad de Madrid (España).
Se encuentra situada en el centro de la rotonda de la Plaza de la Independencia, diseñada por el urbanista Ángel Fernández de los Ríos en el año 1778. En el cruce de las calles de Alcalá, Alfonso XII, Serrano y Salustiano Olózaga, junto a las puertas del Retiro: Puerta de España, Puerta de la Independencia (entrada principal a los jardines del Retiro) y Puerta de Hernani.
La puerta daba acceso a aquellos viajeros que entraban antiguamente a la población desde Francia, Aragón o Cataluña. En la actualidad es una puerta monumental que se encuentra ubicada junto a la Fuente de Cibeles y el Parque del Retiro. Fue construida por mandato de Carlos III en sustitución de otra puerta anterior que existía ya desde el siglo XVI. El diseño y obra pertenece al arquitecto italiano Francesco Sabatini. Compitieron con Sabatini otros proyectos por parte de arquitectos españoles: Ventura Rodríguez y de José de Hermosilla, siendo finalmente elegido personalmente por el Rey el diseño de Sabatini.
Se trata de una puerta de estilo neoclásico y aspecto monumental similar a los Arcos de Triunfos romanos, se erigió mirando su exterior a oriente en el año 1778. La puerta ha sido posteriormente restaurada en cinco ocasiones en más de dos siglos de existencia, siendo la última a finales del siglo XX. La originalidad de su fábrica consiste en ser el primer arco de triunfo construido en Europa tras la caída del Imperio romano, siendo precursor de otros como el Arco de Triunfo de París y la Puerta de Brandeburgo en Berlín.
Ha sufrido desde sus comienzos diversas transformaciones urbanísticas en su entorno. Pasando de ser la frontera exterior de Madrid, a un centro turístico de obligado paso que aparece insertada casi en el medio de la misma ciudad. Este cambio se ha debido al ensanche del siglo XIX a lo largo del barrio de Serrano y la prolongación de la calle de Alcalá. Finalmente es desde 1976 considerado por el Estado Español como un Monumento Histórico-Artístico, extendiendo su categoría a la misma Plaza de la Independencia.
La puerta ya desde su ubicación final fue adquiriendo desde finales del siglo XVIII relevancia en el pueblo madrileño, y a finales del siglo XIX era ya uno de sus iconos más característicos que aparece en numerosas ilustraciones de la ciudad. Al ser uno de los monumentos más representativos, en su doble condición de mirada hacia el interior de la ciudad y al exterior de la misma. la Puerta de Alcalá ha servido como soporte para todo tipo de manifestaciones políticas y artísticas y en sus inmediaciones se han producido numerosos hechos históricos.

The Puerta de Alcalá ("Alcalá Gate") is a Neo-classical monument in the Plaza de la Independencia ("Independence Square") in Madrid, Spain. It stands near the city center and several meters away from the main entrance to the Parque del Buen Retiro. The square is bisected by Alcalá Street, although the street itself doesn't cross through the monument, and it is the origin of the Alfonso XII, Serrano and Olózaga streets. Its name originates from the old path from Madrid to the nearby town of Alcalá de Henares.
Madrid in the late 18th century, still remained a somewhat drab villa in appearance, surrounded by medieval walls. Around the year 1774, king Charles III commissioned Francesco Sabatini to construct a monumental gate in the city wall through which an expanded road to the city of Alcalá was to pass, replacing an older, smaller, gate which stood nearby. It was inaugurated in 1778.

I used to walk by this street very often, but since the new MRT line started last winter, I changed my daily route to another alley: www.flickr.com/photos/shangpc/albums/72157651625181588
That day I was in a hurry to go to a family lunch gathering, saw this scene on the way without my camera in hand. After the lunch, I went straight home, grabbed my camera, and returned to this location. Fortunately, nothing was changed.
The owner of the prosthetic leg was about ten meters away on a wheel chair, selling chewing gums. He asked if I were a reporter. He said he does not need report, nor help from the government or anyone. He just lost his leg a few months ago, things had been tough, but he thought as long as he can sell 40 gums a day, he can support himself no problem.
I thanked him for allow me to take pictures, wished him good luck and left, but didn't ask why he had to put the leg so far away from himself.
A few days later, I bumped into him again, this time I asked him why, and his answer was quite amusing. He said he is sick and tired of looking at the leg, that's why. But once he putted it further away, about triple the distance as it is now, a janitor came by and thought someone dumped it, then tried to carry it away, so he had to chase the janitor (on his wheel chair). Therefore it appears the way it is now: far enough, but not too far.
這張是我入圍2016年邁阿密街頭攝影比賽（MSPF 2016）決選的作品。
那天我正要去參加一個午餐聚會，半路上在我家附近看到這個景象，很想拍下來，但相機不在手上。吃完飯我直接回家，抓了相機再回到這裡，幸好一切都沒變。
義肢的主人，坐在離這裡大約十米的一個輪椅上，正在賣口香糖。他看到我手拿相機，問我是不是記者，他說他不需要報導，也不需要政府補助。幾個月前他才因為工作，失去了左腿，但最困難的時間已經過去。他算過了，只要一天能賣四十條口香糖，就可以自力更生，不需要別人幫助。
我表明自己不是記者，於是他同意讓我拍。拍完之後，我向他道謝，也祝他順利安康，但離開之後才想起，忘了問他為何要把那條義肢放那麼遠？
過兩天再看到他，義肢仍是同樣擺法，我又上前跟他聊了一下，這次沒忘了問他為什麼。他的回答很妙：他說因為剛截肢，不知為何，很討厭看到那條假腿，所以眼不見為淨。一開始他來這裡時，義肢擺得更遠，在這堵圍牆的另一端，離他大約有三十公尺。但有次來了一個清潔隊員，以為是誰不要的，要把它拿去丟，他只好飆著輪椅去追回來，所以現在才擺成眼前這個樣子：有點遠，但又不會太遠。

I used a Lee Big Stopper with this shot creating some unusual colour shifts. The reds are not as vivid as usual and look more like blackberry. I find that using a LBS with Aerochrome the results are a bit hit and miss.

Jumping spiders use their legs to pounce on their prey, which is typically other insects. Amazingly, jumping spiders don't have special leg muscles, like grasshoppers, to help them leap. They propel themselves by suddenly changing the blood flow in their body. Terminix
Jumping spiders or the Salticidae are a family of spiders. As of 2019, it contained over 600 described genera and over 6000 described species, making it the largest family of spiders at 13% of all species. Jumping spiders have some of the best vision among arthropods and use it in courtship, hunting, and navigation. Wikipedia

As you know by now, I love when artists use music to tell a story, weaving the music and the lyrics into a tale filled with emotion and colours. Don McLean is one of those Artists who masterfully achieve this. Vincent is an Ode to the dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh (1853 - 1890). He struggled with mental illness all through his life and died at his own hands at the age of just 37. During his life, he barely sold any of his paintings. Which makes the fact that these days they are worth millions kind of a cruel joke. Don McLean weaved numerous paintings of VanGogh into his Lyrics, which is another nice touch
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy, linen land
Now, I understand what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
Now, I understand, what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you, Vincent
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you
Starry, starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now, I think I know what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will
When I was a kid my sisters and I would look up to the clouds and see where our imagination would take us. Use your and see if you can see two people hugging

Roteiro Caminhos de Pedra
Idealizado pelo Eng. Tarcísio Vasco Michelon e pelo Arq. Júlio Posenato o roteiro Caminhos de Pedra visa resgatar, preservar e dinamizar a cultura que os imigrantes italianos trouxeram à serra gaúcha a partir de 1875.
O Roteiro passou a ser concebido quando da realização de um levantamento do acervo arquitetônico de todo o interior do município de Bento Gonçalves, ocorrido no ano de 1987. Constatou-se então que a Linha Palmeiro e parte da Linha Pedro Salgado, área abrangida basicamente pelo Distrito de São Pedro, composto por 7 comunidades, (São Pedro, São Miguel, Barracão, São José da Busa, Cruzeiro, Santo Antonio e Santo Antoninho) possuía o maior acervo de casas antigas, conservava sua cultura e história, tinha acesso fácil e, conseqüentemente, um grande potencial turístico, apesar da decadência e abandono por que vinha passando desde a década de 1970 com a mudança de traçado da rodovia que ligava Porto Alegre ao norte do estado.
Esse precioso acervo material, parcialmente abandonado e esquecido, exigia uma ação rápida para não ter a mesma sorte de tantas e tantas casas de pedra, madeira e alvenaria que acabaram ruindo ou sendo demolidas. Com recursos do Hotel Dall’Onder as primeiras 4 casas foram restauradas e passaram a receber visitação e outras tiveram obras emergenciais. O primeiro grupo de turistas proveniente de São Paulo, através da Operadora CVC foi recebido na Casa Merlo, Casa Bertarello, Ferraria Ferri e Cantina Strapazzon em 30 de maio de 1992.
O sucesso do novo roteiro animou tanto os idealizadores quanto a comunidade. Em 10 de julho de 1997, com assessoria do SEBRAE foi fundada a Associação Caminhos de Pedra, congregando empreendedores e simpatizantes. Montou-se então um projeto abrangente que contemplava o resgate de todo o patrimônio cultural, não só o arquitetônico, envolvendo língua, folclore, arte, habilidades manuais, etc. Este ambicioso projeto foi aprovado pelo Conselho Estadual de Cultura em 10 de agosto de 1998 passando a partir de então a captar recursos das empresas locais através da recém criada LIC (Lei de Incentivo à Cultura do Estado do RS).
Atualmente a Associação Caminhos de Pedra conta com mais de uma centena de associados e o projeto, considerado pioneiro no Brasil em termos de turismo rural e cultural, está recebendo uma visitação média anual de 60.000 turistas. O roteiro está em expansão e possui 15 pontos de Visitação (assinalados em vermelho no mapa) e 56 pontos de Observação Externa (assinalados no mapa com letra verde).
De acordo com a Lei Estadual 13.177/09, que nos declarou patrimônio histórico do RS, considera-se como área de abrangência dos Caminhos de Pedra a Linhas Palmeiro e Pedro Salgado, localizadas nos municípios de Bento Gonçalves e Farroupilha, até o limite do município de Caxias do Sul, passando por Caravaggio.
Seguem algumas informações históricas
O surgimento da Linha Palmeiro
O Presidente da Província de São Pedro do Rio Grande do Sul, João Sertório, encarregou em 4 de abril de 1870 o engenheiro Major José Maria da Fontoura Palmeiro de proceder à medição e demarcação dos territórios que ele mesmo, por Ato de 24 de maio de 1870, denominou de colônias Conde D’Eu (hoje Garibaldi) e Dona Isabel (hoje Bento Gonçalves) onde mandou construir em cada uma um barracão para abrigar os colonos. Em homenagem ao seu demarcador o primeiro território demarcado na Colônia Dona Isabel passou a se chamar Linha Palmeiro.
O local que acolheu o Major Palmeiro em 1870 e posteriormente os imigrantes italianos a partir do final de 1875 é o atual bairro do Barracão, berço, portanto, da cidade de Bento Gonçalves e também porta de entrada dos Caminhos de Pedra. A Linha Palmeiro é uma das maiores linhas da colonização italiana com 200 lotes de 48,4 ha cada.
Esta Linha que, inicialmente, não passava de uma picada tortuosa no meio da mata tentando acompanhar uma linha imaginária reta que foi se desenvolvendo rapidamente pois era o único eixo de ligação entre a Colônia Dona Isabel com a Colônia Caxias. A picada foi virando estrada carroçável pelo trabalho dos próprios imigrantes que vendiam suas diárias ao governo, e posteriormente, passagem dos primeiros automóveis e caminhões.
A prosperidade da Linha Palmeiro é citada em inúmeros relatórios como os do Consul Italiano em Porto Alegre, Enrico Perrod de 1880: “Visitei uma colônia na Linha Palmeiro e encontrei na terra de um só agricultor todas as frutas da Itália: Castanhas, maçãs, pêras, laranjas, cerejas e nozes, juntamente com plantas de café, cana-de-açúcar e fumo.”(cfr. Rovílio Costa et alii, 1992, EST, As Colônias italianas Dona Isabel e Conde D’Eu, pg 21) ou do Cônsul italiano em Porto Alegre, Pascoale Corte, que aponta em seu relatório de 1884: “Atravessando um mato por um estreito caminho, chega-se, após quatro horas de viagem a cavalo, aos confins da Colônia Dona Isabel, exatamente na entrada de uma das linhas mais desmatadas e populosas: a Linha Palmeiro. Ali começa uma estrada carroçável que conduz à sede da colônia. Esta estrada é a mais pitoresca de todas.” (cfr. Rovílio Costa et alii, op. cit. pág 25).
Ao longo de todo o trecho foram rapidamente sendo construídas belas e confortáveis moradias em pedra, madeira e alvenaria, bem como variados empreendimentos comerciais como ferrarias, serrarias, moinhos, etc. Como os lotes eram grandes, normalmente eram assentadas duas famílias por lote, uma em cada extremidade.
O visitante que ingressar nos Caminhos de Pedra pelo Barracão estará, pois, utilizando a mesma porta de entrada dos primeiros imigrantes, revivendo de certa forma, as mesmas sensações dos recém-chegados, através das histórias contadas pelos seus descendentes. Não deixe de dar esse mergulho na história da imigração italiana no Rio Grande do Sul.
Barracão, Berço de Bento Gonçalves
Assim escreve em seu relatório o Agente Consular Italiano em Bento Gonçalves, Luigi Petrocchi, em dezembro de 1905: “A sede da nova Colônia Dona Isabel (hoje Bento Gonçalves), foi traçada em 1875, em um vale entre dois cursos d’água, num local baixo, próximo ao barracão dos imigrantes, e chamada então de cidade branca, devido às tendas feitas de lençóis. Por comodidade, porém, a diretoria transferiu a administração para um local elevado, chamado Cruzinha, no meio de um pinhal, a 3 Km de distância.” (cfr. Rovílio Costa et alii, op. cit. Pág. 73). O imigrante Giuseppe Dall’Acqua em seus apontamentos de viagem assim descrevem o Barracão no ano de 1878: “Depois de um percurso de uma hora e meia pelo mato virgem, por uma estrada íngreme, em degraus e barrenta, chegaram, após uma longa descida, a uma várzea perto de um rio, em cuja margem esquerda havia três ou quatro habitações rústicas,(...) e uma alta construção de um só plano e mal vedada, com longas taquaras pregadas na parede, horizontalmente, e cobertas de barro e folhas. Este lugar quase solitário e sem nome, fora destinado para a sede da Colônia Dona Isabel, mas ninguém sabia do motivo do não cumprimento da escolha da localidade para sede da futura cidade. Aquele casarão construído com barro (...) fora edificado para abrigar temporariamente os imigrantes e assim, com o tempo, tanto a localidade como o rio tomaram o nome de Barracão”. (Manuscrito de Giuseppe Dall’Acqua, 1901, in Rovílio Costa e Arlindo Battistel, 1983, Assim vivem os italianos, pág. 1172).
A partir de 1875 o Barracão começou a receber, e hospedar provisoriamente as primeiras levas de imigrantes. Ali eles recebiam seus lotes, algumas ferramentas, sementes e um pouco de alimentos. Isso, porém, só acontecia após uma longa espera que podia chegar a diversos meses. Os colonos eram cadastrados e tudo o que recebessem, inclusive alimentos, ferramentas e principalmente a terra, era-lhes lançado como dívida com o Governo Imperial que deveria ser quitada no prazo de 10 anos. Tudo foi planejado para que o local fosse a sede da colônia Dona Isabel, mas já em 1876, não se sabem bem os motivos, a sede da colônia foi transferida para onde hoje é o centro da cidade de Bento Gonçalves.
Patrimônio Histórico e Cultural do RS
Graças à restauração das casas e a visitação turística desencadeou-se nas comunidades que o compõem um movimento cultural que permitiu o surgimento de várias iniciativas que visam preservar não só o patrimônio material, mas também o imaterial. Exemplos dessa vitalidade cultural que palpita em todo o Roteiro são a preservação do dialeto “talian” (língua típica dos imigrantes do lugar), a Casa da Memória e os grupos artístico-culturais (dança italiana, flauta doce, banda musical, orquestra de câmara, coro e teatro) que se apresentam em ocasiões especiais ou por solicitação expressa nos restaurantes do Roteiro.
O fato de concentrar o maior acervo arquitetônico da imigração italiana em meio rural do país e a preocupação com a preservação do patrimônio histórico material e imaterial rendeu aos Caminhos de Pedra o qualificativo de “museu vivo”. Em 2009 por iniciativa do Dep. Estadual Jerônimo Pizzoloto Güerguen, e apoio do IPHAE (Instituto de Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico do Estado) foi declarado patrimônio histórico e cultural do RS pela Lei Estadual 13.177/09 promulgada pela então Governadora Yeda Rorato Crusius.

On this one I used the sun peaking through the shade at a medium slow shutter speed 1/40 second to make little squiggly lines in the water ripples from the sun's reflection on the water, this is done in bright afternoon light in the shade, now you know how to do this trick,
it's about imagination and the love of light, break free, feel the light. you can do anything with a camera, get a idea in your head and then figure out how to do it, and bring it to life, might take a few try's, learn what went wrong as you attempt your creation, and end up with the image you wanted, it is not magic, it is you. be yourself, and use the light

When I used to do concert photography more regularly, it seemed so easy for me to bike way across the city, shoot shows without payment and do this multiple times per week sacrificing sleep just to get the photos in earlier and then going to a very demanding day job. This was one such night...I believe it was a Tues. I biked in pouring rain 8 miles each way to photograph The Yeah Yeah Yeahs at The Aragon Ballroom and then biked all the way to The Empty Bottle to photograph the Norwegian band I Was a King and then came home and edited photos all night and went to work the next day. I should also mention that, on this particularly night, I vividly recall how I got THREE flat bike tires throughout the bicycling which made this almost beautiful tragic quality to the evening.
Anyway, I digress...this is some more rambling because I often get younger hipper people asking me "Oh my God! How did you get that photopass!" And then I tell them that I've invested $25,000+ of my own money which I will never recoup, sacrifice all my own sleep, time, and energy, and half the time have publicists either blank out or make me sign a photo contract and I slowly see all the envy fade from their eyes. The highs are high but the lows are way too low.

Typically, Gerard used a very sensual image, that of a ripe berry bursting with fluid full in the mouth, to describe how Christ’s instress, once acknowledged, could flood and change a person: “How a lush-kept plush-capped sloe / Will, mouthed to flesh-burst, / Gush!—flush the man, the being with it . . . / Brim, in a flash, full!—Hither then, last or first, / To hero of Calvary, Christ, ’s feet— / Never ask if meaning it, wanting it, warned of it—men go.”

Green Green Grass of Home
Song by Tom Jones
The old hometown looks the same
As I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
Dow the road I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
Yes, they'll all come to meet me
Arms reaching, smiling sweetly
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
Listen
... The old house is still standing
Though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane, I walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
... Yes, they'll all come to see me
In the shade of that old oak tree
Then I awake and look around me
At four grey walls that surround me
And I realize, yes, I was only dreaming
For there's a guard and there's a sad, old padre
On and on, we'll walk at daybreak
Again, I'll touch the green, green grass of home
As they lay me
'Neath the green, green grass of home...
