La vita normale non mi interessa. Cerco solo i momenti più intensi. Sono alla ricerca del meraviglioso.
Anaïs Nin
Ieri sera, da casa, ho alzato gli occhi al cielo. Sembrava una notte serena... vedevo giove, brillare, e una manciata di stelle, forse una dozzina in tutto. Deprimente...
Eppure, appena al di sopra di quel guscio d'aria umida e lontano dalle luci di milioni di lampioni, esistono visioni straordinarie di migliaia di stelle colorate e nubi di luce, striature oscure disseminate senza alcuna logica apparente e forme bizzarre... Quel cielo è lì. Basta solo cercare altri luoghi dai quali vederlo com'è veramente, e tenerselo nel cuore, per fare scorta di meraviglia.
In questa foto, una meravigliosa immagine del centro della nostra galassia, mentre attraversa come una ruota il cielo perfetto dell'isola di La Rèunion.
Buon lunedi

I was wondering about mushrooms that have been growing at a height of about 2 meters on the heavily pruned fig tree over the last few days. Due to construction work, I had to radically prune the fig trees two years ago, which they actually tolerated well.

This one is for all the Mom's out there - Happy Mother's Day ~!

Canon1DX-2 with 300mm 2.8 prime lens
This camera and lens are a phenomenal combination as you can see......there is very little grain in the picture and at f/5.6 the set up has managed to apply focus throughout the picture. This, in my opinion, is down to selecting, in camera AF point expansion in this case 9 points.
If you're wondering about the settings, why f/5.6, why ISO 6400 well this is because the light at that time was dull and to stop the subject in flight requires fast speed. In hindsight, the f-stop could have been 6.3 or even 7.1 or the ISO 5000 producing a shutter speed of around 1/3000 sec but you go with what feels right to you the button presser and hope for the best. One other thing to consider is exposure the bird has a large amount of white about it, so I have underexposed by 2/3rds of a stop.
I was stunned to see such a big and well-maintained monastery at such a remote place, where it used to take at least four days of trek to reach even a few years back, with just a small village having hardly fifty households.
Yes, Lingshed monastery is one of the oldest remote monasteries in Zanskar valley. It was established in the 15th century around the same time when Kasrsha and Padum monstaries were also established in Zanskar, a region of Ladakh, which still lies cuf off from the mainland in winter due to unbearably low temperature,
The new monstery has replaced the old cave monasteries.

The term Sogod is an English term for beginning. And this was one of the reasons why the town of Sogod in Cebu started the Panagsogod Festival as not just a colorful celebration but a tradition in the local place.
Even in the legends of the town, Sogod is said to be the place where the white sands stretching far from the north really began and the place is also said as the borderline of the black and white beaches in Northern Cebu. The magic and wonder in Sogod have made the town not just a place to discover but also a place to unravel and explore.
The Panagsogod Festival brings the banner of the word sogod which means beginning. This is also a celebration festooned with colorful shades of street dancing and fiesta celebration of the town. The Panagsogod Festival is honored to the patron saint of Sogodanon, St. James the Apostle.
The Panagsogod Festival is an annual event in Sogod and it is just not a showcase of Sogod’s rich cultural heritage and natural wonders but also it is the time for the Sogodanons to become united with each other that will promote unity and peace all over the town. Local officials from Sogod make it sure that every year, the festival is a celebration of the true Sogodanon’s quality and attitude.
In the town of Sogod, The Panagsogod festival is also one way of the place to attract foreign visitors and business that might have an interest in the town’s bounty and beauty. The Panagsogod festival is Sogod’s pride and life. It reflects who the Sogodanons are. It is also a true implication that it is a festival of new beginnings as shown from the different people gathered together to celebrate and have fun.
There are two Disney Store Limited Edition Brave items that were first noticed on the US Disney Store website on May 14, 2012, but were not part of the new arrivals group. In fact, when they were first noticed (by browsing on keyword 'brave') they were both already sold out. By next day, they were already not searchable by keyword (but the pages were still viewable via a direct link or product code). I wonder whether these were actually for sale at some earlier date, or are merely placeholders for a future release.
The items and web links to them are as follows:
Limited Edition Brave Nesting Dolls ($49.50 US)

Before the ice is in the pools,
Before the skaters go,
Or any cheek at nightfall
Is tarnished by the snow,
Before the fields have finished,
Before the Christmas tree,
Wonder upon wonder
Will arrive to me!
- Emily Dickinson
(I wonder what she said....)
She said she said - The Beatles.
She said "I know what it's like to be dead.
I know what it is to be sad"
And she's making me feel like I've never been born.
I said "Who put all those things in your head?
Things that make me feel that I'm mad
And you're making me feel like I've never been born."
She said "you don't understand what I said"
I said "No, no, no, you're wrong"
When I was a boy everything was right
Everything was right
I said "Even though you know what you know
I know that I'm ready to leave
'Cause you're making me feel like I've never been born."
She said "you don't understand what I said"
I said "No, no, no, you're wrong"
When I was a boy everything was right
Everything was right
I said "Even though you know what you know
I know that I'm ready to leave
'Cause you're making me feel like I've never been born."
She said , she said "I know what it's like to be dead"
("I know what it's like to be dead")
I know what it is to be sad...
