There are certainly countless motifs that can be used to symbolize the new beginning of a year. A sunrise outside in nature (in this case on the Hoher Schneeberg in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains) is my favorite.

In both cases we are on a path that leads us into a new phase of life. A path that is only known to us to a certain extent and where a big surprise (or challenge) can be waiting for us around the next bend.

Now you could object that a day is just a day and in comparison a year must be much more significant. I would like to show you why I don't quite see it that way.

On the one hand, this assessment is based on our standards, which are based on a human life. If we look at it from the perspective of the lifespan of the universe, a year is just as insignificant as a day (basically the effects of neither are noticeable).

On the other hand, a single day, a single decision is enough to fundamentally change our own world in every conceivable direction.

So what if we didn't wait for a specific date every year to realize where we want to go, but could use every single day of the year to do so?

Our creative possibilities would increase many times over and we would have so much more room for directional corrections. We could learn, try things out and gain experience without having to ask the fundamental question every time.

With this in mind, I wish you all a good start and an exciting and fulfilling journey.

Because today is the first day of the rest of all of our lives.

 

Es gibt ganz sicher unzählige Motive, mit denen man den Neubeginn eines Jahres symbolisieren kann. Ein Sonnenaufgang draußen in der Natur (in diesem Fall auf dem Hohen Schneeberg im Elbsandsteingebirge) ist mein Favorit.

In beiden Fällen befinden wir uns auf einem Weg, der uns in einen neuen Lebensabschnitt führt. Ein Weg, der uns nur bis zu einem gewissen Grad bekannt ist und auf dem hinter der nächste Kurve eine große Überraschung (oder auch Herausforderung) auf uns warten kann.

Jetzt könntet Ihr einwenden, dass ein Tag ja nur ein Tag ist und im Vergleich dazu ein Jahr doch viel bedeutender sein muss. Ich möchte Euch aufzeigen, warum ich das nicht ganz so sehe.

Zum einen fusst diese Einschätzung auf unsere auf ein Menschenleben ausgerichteten Masstäbe. Betrachten wir das ganze aus Sicht der Lebensspanne des Universums ist ein Jahr genau so unbedeutetend wie ein Tag (im Grunde sind die Auswirkungen beider nicht spürbar).

Andererseits genügt ein einziger Tag, eine einzige Entscheidung um unsere eigene Welt grundlegend zu verändern und das in jede nur denkbare Richtung.

Wie wäre es also, wenn wir nicht jedes Jahr auf ein spezielles Datum warten würden um uns bewusst zu machen, wohin wir gehen wollen, sondern dafür jeden einzelnen Tag des Jahres nutzen könnten?

Unsere gestalterischen Möglichkeiten würden um ein vielfaches steigen und wir hätten so viel mehr Raum für Richtungskorrekturen. Wir könnten lernen, probieren und Erfahrungen sammeln ohne jedes Mal die Grundsatzfrage stellen zu müssen.

In diesem Sinne wünsche ich Euch allen einen guten Start und eine spannende sowie erfüllende Reise.

Denn heute ist der erste Tag vom Rest unser aller Leben.

Inside tuk tuk - Bangkok - Thailand

 

Hace mucho calor, el ruido es insoportable, el aire que respiro esta ardiendo son las 12:00 h de la noche y parece de dia.

Velocidad, desenfreno, osadía, y un ritmo trepidante, estoy en el interior de un TUK TUK...

Le he dicho al conductor que yo tengo prisa, he cometido un gran error, el miedo , me acompañará durante 20 minutos fuera de control, en una ciudad increible es Bangkok.

 

It is very hot, the noise is unbearable, the air we breath is hot is 12:00 at night and by day it seems.

Speed, wildness, daring, and a hectic pace, I am in a TUK TUK ...

I told the driver I have a hurry, I have committed a big mistake, fear, accompanied me for 20 minutes out of control, in an incredible city is Bangkok.

Continuing with "Pano-Portraiture" - using the panoramic sabotage technique in the service of portraiture. ( Dis-service ? )

 

The thing that seems to be distinguishing pano-sabotage artists on Flickr from the many, many people who are posting to hosts of other online iPhoneography groups is that here, we Flickr folk are working hard to ensure that this technique is yet another tool for making art and is not a end unto itself.

 

When you search around online you see a lot of panoramic distortion images being posted but most of them just come across as novelty pics. "Hey, isn't this weird?" kind of thing.

 

So my hat is off to all who've worked with the technique here on Flickr and posted work that is truly artistic and unquestionably creative. Cheers to you all !!!!!

 

The original image is much larger. This portrait was isolated out of that bigger picture in order to zero in on a portrait opportunity.

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

used my Indie Deeply Rich action on this one.

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

 

Vincent - Don McLean

 

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

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.

well there's been a few shots of the sunrise in Auckland already on Flickr today, here's my contribution - was a beaut morning, the ship was a very slow beast so managed to take out the tiny bit of blur from the exposure.

There was even a seal bobbing around, never seen one in the gulf before and bit to far out for my 10-22mm but so good to watch this seen unfold in total peace with this chap.

 

(not HDR), colours were quite strong this morning

Lincoln County-Washington State

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.
