Older generations of Italians from the islands in the bay of Naples recall the items made of linen woven by the prisoners on the island of Procida, items that were included in the trousseaus of young brides-to-be. These remnants are reminders of how disparate needs different communities can intersect and be fulfilled in unique ways. Through their weaving the men sought a sense of purpose that dovetailed with the hopes and aspirations of young women looking forward to creating a family of their own.
Staying with a nomad family, I was able to capture the beautiful sunset with the Ger camp at the foreground. A Russian vehicle brand “Uaz” stands in the spotlight too.
The beautiful design of nature. This snail was taken at Choirokoitia, Cyprus, a Neolithic settlement from 7 - 4 BC. I couldn't help but wonder if the settlers were inspired to build their circular houses from the common snail.
I've had this shot in my head for a while and today thanks to the heavy rain in Luxembourg and a big puddle in front of the Philharmonie building, which allowed me to use the reflections, I managed to take it. This building is for me a constant source of inspiration, inside and out. I went for B&W and a rather minimalistic look since I really don't like the building in the background. I only used a polarizer filter for this shot.
Esta foto la tenía en mente desde hace algun tiempo y hoy gracias a la fuerte lluvia caida en Luxemburgo y a un enorme charco a la puerta de la Philharmonie he podido hacer uso de los reflejos y tomarla. Este edificio es una fuente constante de inspiración, tanto por dentro como por fuera. Al final he optado por el B&N y un aspecto un tanto minimalista ya que no me gusta nada el edificio que se encuentra detrás. Solamente utilicé un filtro polarizador para tomar la foto.
These priests of the Celts, constructed it for sacrificial ceremonies. It was John Aubrey, who first linked Stonehenge to the Druids. Additionally, Dr. William Stukeley, another Stonehenge antiquary, also claimed the Druids were Stonehenge's builders.
The chimney of the CET Brașov heating plant looming over the city on one drab winter evening.
Its impressive height, clocking in at 280m, makes it the 3rd tallest artificial structure in all of Romania. However, this height serves a practical purpose: it avoids inversion trapping the smoke over the city. Brașov, being nestled between the Curvature Carpathians, is unfortunately prone to such inversion phenomena.

Bateau sur la Loire.
Madame de Sévigné aimait descendre la Loire en bateau.
Lettre à Madame de Grignan
À Saumur, lundi au soir 18ème septembre 1684.
"Toujours le vent contraire, ma chère bonne, depuis que je vous ai quittée ; c’est un mouvement si violent pour moi que tout se fait à force de rames. Cela m’a arrêtée un jour plus que je ne pensais, et je n’arriverai que demain à Angers, qui sera justement huit jours après mon départ ; je crois que j’y trouverai mon fils...."
Le 19 septembre, elle est toujours à Saumur, le matin elle y rencontre sa nièce de Bussy et va entendre la messe à la bonne Notre-Dame. Madame de Sévigné arrivera à Angers le matin du 20 septembre.
