la Natura che si fa Poesia - scattare foto sembrava quasi diminuire tempo all'esigenza, alla necessità e alla passione di ammirare ciò che mi circondava!
esultanza di Bellezza e Serenità, un tripudio di perfezione e pienezza.
non avrei voluto essere altrove
Magica Terra, sei il simbolo della perfezione, sei il mio canto della Vita, sei il mio buongiorno di ogni di, non ho contato i miei passi sul tuo suolo poiché infinite sono le tue bellezze.
Mia terra, amare è assai poco, tu sei beneficiare di tutte le creature, tu sei una madre eccellente.
ci sono giorni che la senti dentro la Natura...
Le Montagne vivono solo dell' amore dell' uomo.
Dove le abitazioni, poi gli Alberi, poi l erba sono esaurite, nasce il regno sterile, selvaggio, minerale.
Tuttavia, nella sua estrema povertà, nella sua nudità, dispensa una ricchezza che non ha prezzo: la felicità che si scopre negli occhi di chi la frequenta.
Testi e Immagini di Troise Carmine - Washi - si prega di non copiare (qualcuno l ha già fatto più volte che squallido) e di non riprodurre salvo esplicita autorizzazione del sottoscritto!
Dietro ogni scatto ci sono sempre fatiche e attese!
Zaino carico e pesante (quasi sempre) e, quando trasporti la Fotocamera con obiettivo, la Sera avverti un dolore al collo...
Ma le Passioni, è noto, comportano sempre sacrifici!
In Natura non esistono malintesi esistono solo in ciò che l'uomo chiama ragione!

My headshot studio officially reopens in February after being closed due to building works.
Yesterday, I thought that I ought to creatively test my new studio background system and try a new idea for lighting (while combining it with tried and tested methods).
When you want headshots or more creative portraiture in a safe, reliable and fun environment please get in touch. I guarantee that you will love the experience and the photographs too. #photography #portraitphotography #london #creative #creativekingston #kingstonuponthames #peoplewhovaluecreativity #composition #light #headshots #people #inspiration #focus #communication #londonportraitphotography #commitment #actnow

INaturalist:
This poster is a visual artifact from another era – an intentional composition of color, form, and cultural shorthand. Analysis courtesy of Bing Copilot:
Design Overview
•Split Composition: The poster is bisected vertically, creating a stark diptych. This duality invites immediate comparison, using symmetry to heighten contrast and tension.
•Color Palette:
Left Side: Saturated primaries—sky blue, grass green, and crisp white—evoke a mid-century optimism. The palette is reminiscent of vintage cereal boxes or suburban advertisements.
Right Side: Muted earth tones and heavy shadows dominate. Ochres, browns, and charcoal grays suggest decay and weight, with a palette that feels drained of vitality.
•Typography: Bold, sans-serif lettering with slight distressing gives the text a retro propaganda feel. The layout is clean and centralized, with high contrast against the background for instant legibility.
Iconic Family Unit
•The figures on the left are stylized in a way that recalls 1950s comic strips or Norman Rockwell illustrations—idealized, cheerful, and frozen in a moment of play. The family’s posture echoes Cold War-era optimism.
•Their postures are dynamic yet familiar: arm waving, children kneeling, faces smiling. It’s a tableau of connection and movement.
•The white house with a pitched roof and picket fence anchors the scene in a culturally recognizable symbol of domestic stability.
️ Stylistic Influences
•Comic Book Aesthetic: Heavy outlines, simplified forms, and exaggerated expressions lend the poster a graphic novel sensibility. It’s not realism—it’s iconography.
•Poster Art Tradition: The layout borrows from wartime and public service posters—clear focal points, dramatic contrast, and a call-to-action structure.
•Symbolic Imagery: The skull, smokestacks, and barren tree on the right are rendered with theatrical flair, almost like stage props. They’re not subtle, but they’re archetypal. That skull is drawn like a comic villain.
Visual Strategy
•The poster doesn’t whisper—it performs. It uses visual shorthand to evoke emotional states without needing nuance.
•By avoiding gradients or photographic realism, it leans into allegory. Each element is a symbol, not a scene.
•The juxtaposition is not just thematic—it’s spatial. The viewer’s eye is pulled from one side to the other, creating a rhythm of recognition and dissonance.
If you're interested in the ongoing disagreements and attempts at solutions concerning protecting the environment we all must live in and protecting jobs people need to survive, then you might be interested in a photo I took in Paris in November 2019. The first link below is to the photo; the second, to an NPR article that describes the issue in France. (By the way, no one commented on the ad I waited for in the revolving ads on the left side of the photo I took in Paris. I stood and waited quite a while for that ad to return. I even highlighted the text from the ad in my title for the photo. Nature does, in fact, need "heroes," though not what we see pictured in the slick ad inside my photo from Paris.) No matter what part of the world--Paris or Portland--how do we protect our natural environment while we keep and create enough good-paying jobs (with benefits) for workers? How do we manage transportation to the benefit of the greatest number of people? For that matter, how do we pass an infrastructure bill so that we might pay workers to fix basic problems most of us agree need fixing?

Reusable cups don't only save the environment.
They also pave the way for you to savor your Water.
The insulation of these my stainless Alkaline cup is much better than the average plastic or cardboard cup, which keeps our hot drinks warm and our iced drinks cold for more prolonged periods.

Pike Place Market is a public market overlooking the Elliott Bay waterfront in Seattle, Washington, United States. The Market opened August 17, 1907, and is one of the oldest continuously operated public farmers' markets in the United States. It is a place of business for many small farmers, craftspeople and merchants. Named after the central street, Pike Place runs northwest from Pike Street to Virginia Street. With more than 10 million visitors annually, Pike Place Market is Seattle's most popular tourist destination and is the 33rd most visited tourist attraction in the world.
The Market is built on the edge of a steep hill, and consists of several lower levels located below the main level. Each features a variety of unique shops such as antique dealers, comic book and collectible shops, small family-owned restaurants, and one of the oldest head shops in Seattle. The upper street level contains fishmongers, fresh produce stands and craft stalls operating in the covered arcades. Local farmers and craftspeople sell year-round in the arcades from tables they rent from the Market on a daily basis, in accordance with the Market's mission and founding goal: allowing consumers to "Meet the Producer".
Pike Place Market is home to nearly 500 residents who live in 8 different buildings throughout the Market. Most of these buildings have been low income housing in the past; however, some of them no longer are, such as the Livingston Baker apartments. The Market is run by the quasi-government Pike Place Market Preservation and Development Authority (PDA).

Nothing much - Just tell your kids to finish their Potato Chips at Home (Hotel) , they can do without eating anything while on a Sikara Ride, Keep your Soft Drink bottles to yourself ( take back home you can always re-use them) ; don't throw your Plastic bags, Foil packs and torn Slippers in Dal, find some other place to Pee. Oh ! One more point - Don't stay in House Boat because Hotels in Boulevard give better view and a stay in House boat will never make you a Shammi Kapoor and make Her a Sharmila Tagore. Let your Grand Son Enjoy a Clean and Picturesque Dal. Thank You.
Carlos Vinicius, one of the kids from our Street Migration Prevention Programme, breaks the ice during a joyful moment with a young Guarani indian boy, Tupã, during our visit to the Krukutu village.......
Between our prevention centres in the southern urban outskirts of São Paulo and surrounding our centre near the coast, there are several Guarani indian reserves in areas demarcated by the governmental organisation FUNAI (National Indian Foundation), situated in the surviving 6% of the Atlantic forest.
The situation for the Guarani in these reserves is far worse than that of our urban favelas (shanties), because they barely have enough to survive on given that the reserves are extremely small and with few natural resources to cater for their daily needs. Furthermore, the reserves are also situated in areas protected by IBAMA, Brazil's Environmental Protection Agency, who put considerable restrictions on the indian's activities in the areas allocated to them.
Poverty (in the sense of the lack of basic needs) is extreme in these reserves, where the indians untiringly continue to negotiate the promised rights to their land.
Brazil still refuses to allow indian land ownership and absolutely no land in Brazil is owned by tribal peoples. Considering the destruction by non-indigenous peoples over these last few centuries, one really needs to question who is more apt to care for our natural forests than the people of the forests themselves.
When IBAMA chief, Curt Trennepohl, responsible for protecting the environment from destructive projects (but who recently approved construction of the Belo Monte Dam, a controversial project which would destroy 121,600 acres of rainforest and displace nearly 50,000 indigenous people that live there) was asked by a reporter if his job was to guard the environment from destructive projects, Trennepohl replied: "No, my job is to minimize the impacts." And as if that were not controversial enough, the IBAMA chief then suggested that indigenous tribes which stand in the way of progress should be dealt with harshly.
Yes! There are certainly many barriers needing to be broken in Brazil.......
(You can start by writing and sending a letter in protest of the Belo Monte dam project)

A tribute to our brothers from Haiti
Un hommage à nos frères, victimes du séisme en Haiti
NOTÍCIAS:
www.bbc.co.uk/portuguese/noticias/2010/01/100115_situacao...
Subject: Take action and help the people of Haiti
Hi,
Like millions of people around the world I've been shocked by the terrible events in Haiti.
Only now is the true scale of the disaster emerging. Reports now suggest as many as 50,000 people may have died, with hundreds of thousands made homeless.
The work ahead to recover from this tragedy is immense. So here's our goal: $890 million for Haiti. That's how much Haiti owes to the International Monetary Fund, the Inter-American Development Bank, and a handful of others.
Sign the petition below to ask Haiti's creditors to act quickly and cancel Haiti's debts:
one.org/international/actnow/haiti/index.html?rc=haitipaste
As Haiti tries begins to rebuild we can help by lifting this debt.
Together as ONE we can make a difference!
Thanks!
