C'è un inquinamento luminoso ma mi è piaciuto il montaggio delle foto che feci al mare una notte che ricercavo le scie delle stelle.
Posto la foto che è il risultato del lavoro.
Mi piacciono le stelle in generale, non le voglio associare ad altro.
Il cielo è sempre stato un'attrattiva infinita., prima che esistesse la fotografia per me.
A proposito di fotografia, voglio tranquillizzare fata cam.
La tua foto mi piace tantissimo, io non sapevo come dirtelo, ti stavo scrivendo ieri, poi non ho spedito la mail, il perchè è che ero stato troppo specifico, non ne avevo la ragione... non c'entra la tua foto. "E' TUA" , delle tue foto sei tu a decidere il come. Tu sei brava davvero.
La tua foto è un bn di grande capacità, oltretutto, un racconto e un'emozione di ora e del passato che è stata di ognuno.
Il partire...
E' un'altra cosa...
Il rispetto si conquista a fatica, parole gentili non costano...
I giudizi ...I consigli...
Io sono un folletto del non consiglio, per cui ti abbraccio.
Aspetto le foto...
Di tutti!
Le foto le guardo, anche quelle senza cielo...A volte si vogliono esaltare stelle non materiali ed il cielo se ne va via...Foto senza stelle le guardo anche, con la pace verso il re del cielo : Il Creatore.

I know that there's a reason why I need to be alone
I need to find a silent place that I can call my own
Is it mine, Lord is it mine?
When everything's dark and nothing seems right,
there's nothing to win and there's no need to fight
I never cease to wonder at the cruelty of this land
But it seems a time of sadness is a time to understand
Is it mine, Lord is it mine?
When everything's dark and nothing seems right,
You don't have to win and there's no need to fight
If only I could find a way
To feel your sweetness through the day
The love that shines around me could be mine.
So give us an answer, won't you,
We know what we have to do,
There must be a thousand voices trying to get through.
This area in the wetlands used to be a nice green grassy area with manicured bushes with a functional tennis court . It is now a fire hazard with a completely unusable tennis court filled with trash.

Foto scattata al margine di una di quelle splendide pinete marittime che si trovano appena dietro le spiagge. Sono particolarmente soddisfatta dell'atmosfera che sono riuscita a catturare.
Ricomincio con le foto scure?XD
In questi giorni il mio portatile personale mi ha abbandonata, non so per quale problema, quindi alcune cose non mi riescono come vorrei. Momentaneamente.

I remember that marvellous sunset on Koh Tao, an island north of Koh Samui and Koh Phangan. I had walked into the sea to capture the scenery photographically and was knee-deep in the water until I felt something like a sting or bite in my lower right leg. All I remember is that I hit it and immediately left the water. On the beach I then saw about 20 small skin lesions like punctures from a biopsy with a diameter of about 1 mm and the leg was bleeding quite profusely. Jellyfish alarm! Fortunately, we hadn't been far from our little hotel and I got vinegar for the wound there straight away. You actually use this to loosen a stuck jellyfish, but it didn't do any harm either. Unfortunately, I didn't have my emergency allergy kit for such cases (antihistamine, cortisone and an adrenaline pen) with me, but had it in my hotel room...;) That could have ended badly. I was really glad I hadn't gone swimming in the sea (I never do it after sunset). In Thailand, there are always deaths from large-scale contact with devil jellyfish. In a situation like that, you actually are shocked at first.
Yes, when you travel a lot, the strangest things happen to you. Once a snake flew towards us at the waterfall, that wasn't so funny either. But the number one story so far was when we were caught by a current in the sea. Horror stories, luckily we survived.
Ich erinnere mich an den wunderbaren Sonnenuntergang auf Koh Tao, einer Insel nördlich von Koh Samui und Koh Phangan. Ich war ins Meer gelaufen, um die Szenery fotografisch einzufangen und war knietief im Wasser, bis ich so etwas wie einen Stich oder Biss im rechten Unterschenkel spürte. Ich weiß nur noch, dass ich danach schlug und sofort das Wasser verließ. Am Strand sah ich dann ca. 20 kleine Hautläsionen wie Stanzungen bei einer Biopsie im Durchmesser von ca. 1 mm und das Bein blutete ganz ordentlich. Quallen-Alarm! Zum Glück waren wir nicht weit von unserem kleinen Hotel entfernt gewesen und ich bekam dort gleich Essig für die Wunde. Man nimmt diesen eigentlich, um eine festsitzende Qualle zu lösen, aber geschadet hat es auch nicht. Mein Notfall Allergie-Set für solche Fälle (Antihistaminikum, Kortison und einen Adrenalin-Pen) hatte ich dummerweise nicht dabei, sondern im Hotelzimmer. Das hätte böse enden können. Ich war heilfroh, dass ich nicht zum Schwimmen im Meer war (Ich gehe grundsätzlich nie ins Meer nach Sonnenuntergang). In Thailand gibt es immer wieder Todesfälle bei großflächigem Kontakt mit Teufelsquallen. In so einer Situation ist man natürlich erst einmal geschockt.
Ja, wenn man viel reist passieren einem die eigentümlichsten Sachen. Einmal flog uns eine Schlange am Wasserfall entgegen, das war auch nicht so lustig. Auf Platz 1 stand aber bislang, als wir einmal im Meer am Chaweng Beach von einer Strömung erfasst wurden. Schauergeschichten, zum Glück alles überlebt.
Thanks for your visit, danke für Euren Besuch!

Turquoise is used to describe things that are of a light greenish-blue colour. ... a clear turquoise sea.
Spring, also known as springtime, is one of the four temperate seasons, succeeding winter and preceding summer. There are various technical definitions of spring, but local usage of the term varies according to local climate, cultures and customs. When it is spring in the Northern Hemisphere, it is autumn in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa. At the spring (or vernal) equinox, days and nights are approximately twelve hours long, with daytime length increasing and nighttime length decreasing as the season progresses.
En la vertiente norte del Parque Natural de la Sierra y Cañones de Guara se encuentran los valles de Belsué y Nocito, cuajados de pueblos pequeños, algunos deshabitados, en los que el tiempo parece haberse detenido.
Sus edificaciones y el estilo de vida mantienen la más pura tradición de los pueblos del interior de la comarca. Por cabañeras, antaño el único medio de comunicación con el Pirineo y el llano, se puede acceder a diversas pardinas, hoy casi en desuso. Desde el Santuario de San Úrbez, lugar de romería en busca de la ansiada lluvia, un sendero de montaña desciende hasta el núcleo urbano de Nocito y evoca los pasos de los niños que años atrás recorrían ese mismo camino para acudir a la escuela. Nocito es un buen ejemplo de conservación de la arquitectura popular. Los dinteles decorados, blasones familiares, chimeneas y espantabrujas nos trasladan a un pasado de vida aislada, dura y austera.
I had three fairly good images for Macro Mondays theme. I thought I would throw onw out early lest they sit in the queue forever.

Above the grand staircase at Drottningholm.
Drottningholm palace is the home of the king and queen of Sweden - no, they do not actually live in the big palace in the middle of Stockholm, but in this much cosier creation just outside of Stockholm (in the small village of Drottningholm - which was actually built to house servants for the palace).
The name literally means the Queen's islet, and is older than the building itself. It used to refer to a palace built in 1580 for the queen Katarina Jagellonica - but that place burned down in 1661, and the current house is the one that was built to replace it. It was on order from the queen Hedwig Eleonora - at the time queen dowager but also regent for her son Karl (Charles) XI that was underage when his father (Karl X) died. The palace was designed by one of Sweden's most well known architects: Nicodemus Tessin the Elder, and after his death the work was continued on by his (equally famous) son Nicodemus Tessin the Younger. The queen used it as a summer residence, and as a place for hunting. The palace continued to be in fashion throughout the 18th century, and got a partly rococo interior during the time of queen Lovisa Ulrika.
But the place fell out of fashion with the new Bernadotte dynasty in the early 19th century, being to closely connected with the earlier regime. The last new add-ons to the place was electricity and modern plumbing at the beginning of the 20th century - after that the focus has been on conservation and preservation.
The royal family has lived there since 1981 (though the kids have moved out by now).

Using as much common sense as we can muster, we head out into the COVID-ladin world. Oregon had just started what they called Phase 1. In doing that they opened a few State Parks. This one had been on our radar for a long time. I had been bird dogging the web site to see when it would open. As it turns out, I caught it just as they updated. They were going to open tomorrow. So the next day, as early as I can get the family out of the house, we set out for White River Falls State Park. This is in eastern Oregon, on the desert side of Mount Hood. They say you are not supposed to travel far under Phase 1, this was about 2 hours away. That was probably further than the State would like to see. However, we were sure to get gas locally and take food. Shy of the nice folks we met at the park, we interacted with no one.
The Ranger at the Park said we were the first people to get there on the first day they were re-open. He seemed glad to see us and the nice camp host talked our ears off. Clearly glad to see humans.
The Falls were in perfect form. See, you need to hit this waterfall at the right time. To early and its all white or brown form the glacial silt that runs through it (hence the name). Too late in the season, and I mean a week too late, and it looks like someone turned off the water. This day the flow was strong and the water quite clear.
We drove out through the Gorge and looped back over Mount Hood. All around a very pleasant drive. Sadly, it was a ton of driving for only about an hour at the falls, but still a great time had by all. Even the dog.
This was mid May in 2020, a time we will look back on as a very strange time. I hope I read this in 5 or 10 years and laugh about it. I hope.
Used since the 12th century, it was used by fishermen and small-medium sized commercial vessels. It was enlarged and strengthened by Jacopo III Appiani in 1470, the year in which the breakwater was built. Jacopo III's 15th century works were mainly aimed at anchoring his own galley, as well as other small court vessels, given the proximity of his residence to the Citadel. This inevitably led to a reduction in the anchorages of many vessels used for fishing and commercial traffic.

View of Forum Romanum with the temple of Saturn and the temple of Vespasian and Titus.
The cult of the god Saturn in Rome is quite old - the temple remains are in comparison quite new (as an ancient Roman temple goes). The first temple in this spot was built around 497 B.C. These columns on the other hand dates to a temple building from 360-380 A.D. when the previous building had been destroyed by a fire. Much of this temple is built with parts from older buildings - but the columns are made in the style of late Antiquity, in white Thasian marble.
The two columns (it's actually three, but the third one is hidden from view) with a bit frieze remaining is the temple of emperor Vespasian and his son Titus. It was an expression of the Roman imperial cult - the temple was started by Titus after the death of his father, and then after Titus' death it was continued by his brother Domitian and finished some time around 87 A.D.
I used to travel alot. Long international flights could become boring but I liked nothing more than to look out of the window down at the landscape 6 miles below me. I used to pit my geographical knowledge against navigational abilities to see if I could identify towns, cities, rivers, landmarks. It helped pass the time. Once I picked out Monument Valley on the brown Utah landscape. I was able to identify some of the towering features but couldn't get over how an area it had taken most of a day to explore in a car could be the size of a sixpence against the featureless desert around.
The best time was when I had been flying for ages: a few months actually, and I had dozed off, forehead leaning against the cold window. I awoke and through bleary eyes looked down. I didn't instantly recognise it a convolusion of channels leading across the land. Rivers, gorges and canyons. And then I remembered. Mars. I was flying over Mars. And the sunlight glinted off the surface. Water? Water? Every where? Had I just discovered water on Mars?
Unfortunately that's nothing like the truth. I often work my way round to a little cove along from Camusdarrach to find unusual patterns and colours on the beach. Here a little oil seeps into the bog that feeds the burn down onto the beach, the oil catching the light like sun on a river estuary. With dark and light sands, this is my impression of what a Martian river might (have) look like. (this section of sand being about 12 inches across)
She used to stop on that bench with the illusion
That behind her the sunset wasn't just a colored wall of orange-red sun
The tree next door with its autumn leaves
A magical touch of a children's book
The leaves fell silently on the bench
And on the ground creating a colorful carpet of light
There wasn't much traffic along that stretch of road
And that's exactly why he chose her
No passerby would have sat next to her,
no car would disturb his thoughts
but now she's not here and the tree and the bench wonder why
there will be no answers
there will be no other days
harmony is shaken by a shiver of wind
another trembling leaf has fallen
everything is silent now on that stretch of road...

Jutland, Jylland in Danish, is a peninsula to the west in the Danish geography. The coast to the west has helped much in forming the landscape - making the are along the area dominated by sand-dunes and heaths. The landscape is very flat and in some areas marshy too. The most northern part of Jutland, north of the Limfjord, was separated from the mainland by a flooding in 1825, making it technically an island - but it is still regarded as a part of Jutland.
Jutland, Jylland, was in the middle ages called "Iutland" - the land of the jyder. That word in turn probably comes from the word iuthær, meaning men. The Greek geographer called it Kimbrikē chersonēsos - the peninsula of the Cimbri - saying it was the home of the Teutons, Cimbri and Charudes.
The area is now one of the more sparsely populated regions of Denmark, and the Jutlandic dialect is famous for being hard to understand, even among Danes, especially in the western and northern parts of the peninsula.

Horizontal Tanks used to store old Terlaner wines at the Cantina Terlan winery in Alto Adige, Italy.
Actually, these are Charmat Tanks, designed to make sparkling wines, but never used for that purpose. Unusual as well in that most tanks are vertical - you get more area on the lees in a horizontal tank and can also be easier to maintain
