Who doesn't have wanderlust at this strange time! As the travel restrictions are not lifted, our planned holiday will probably fall through. So I thought I would make my own holiday destinations. I didn't know anymore that we have so many different screws at home ;-) A special thanks for the best supporting role goes to our terrace table. His reflections are simply great every time.
Keep your head up!

There is so much more to St. Francis of Assisi than is usually thought of. He was a gentle radical: turning away from material wealth and concerns. A mystic who connected to all living things and saw them as individuals who had their own integrity and wonder. He lived among these creatures as well as among the poor in towns and villages during his itinerant life. We can all learn much from him.
Thank you for taking the time to view my photo, and for the faves and comments you make, thank you.
An all time favorite. I knew this angle existed after viewing a newspaper photo. My job was to find it, and shoot one for myself. Looking at a map, and drawing a line helped alot. Park near the decrepit Caven Point pier in Bayonne, NJ. Ignore the no-trespassing signs, Climb under a cyclone fence, make your way around the giant holes in the pier floor, and line up the shot. Taken with a Canon A1 with a 600mm lens. The picture date is an estimate. Well worth the trouble.
I was wasn't there ten minutes when another photographer traced my path.

Around 5:00 A.M. on Sunday, March 6, 1836, General Antonio López de Santa Anna, self-proclaimed "Napoleon of the West," hurled his army at the battered walls of the Alamo from four directions. Texan gunners stood by their artillery. As about 1,800 assault troops advanced into range, canister ripped through their ranks. Staggered by the concentrated cannon and rifle fire, the Mexican soldiers halted, reformed, and drove forward. Soon they were past the defensive perimeter. Travis, among the first to die, fell on the north bastion. Abandoning the walls, defenders withdrew to the dim rooms of the Long Barracks. There some of the bloodiest hand-to-hand fighting occurred. Bowie, too ravaged by illness to rise from his bed, found no pity. The chapel fell last. By dawn the Centralists had carried the works. The assault had lasted no more than ninety minutes. As many as seven defenders survived the battle, but Santa Anna ordered their summary execution. Many historians count Crockett as a member of that hapless contingent, an assertion that still provokes debate in some circles. By eight o'clock every Alamo fighting man lay dead. Currently, 189 defenders appear on the official list, but ongoing research may increase the final tally to as many as 257.
