L’espressione altera e l’eccezionale prestanza fisica imprimono nella memoria l’immagine della scultura in bronzo scoperta sul Quirinale, dove ornava una residenza privata o un’aula delle Terme di Costantino. La figura nuda è in equilibrio sul piede destro, che aderisce al suolo, e si appoggia alla lancia retta dal braccio sinistro sollevato. La mano destra è portata sulla natica con il palmo rivolto in alto; il capo è ruotato con decisione.
Il volto è contraddistinto da un naso prominente, occhi infossati e una piccola bocca dischiusa: tratti fisiognomici realistici propri di un ritratto. Chi sia rappresentato sotto le spoglie del giovane non è facile a dirsi: un principe pergameno o un anonimo generale romano? L’identificazione del personaggio con Eracle, suggerita dall’allusione all’Eracle Farnese, di cui è citata la posa, farebbe propendere per la seconda ipotesi. Il bronzo, databile alla prima metà del II secolo a.C., è eseguito nella tecnica della cera persa con gli occhi in pasta vitrea oggi mancanti, ma che in origine erano inseriti a parte.
I took baby formula tin boxes and covered them with paper scraps - so fun to decorate these :-)

''Avevo capito che rinunciare a se stessi, non amarsi è come sbagliare a chiudere il primo bottone della camicia. Tutti gli altri poi sono sbagliati di conseguenza. Amarsi è l'unica certezza per riuscire ad amare davvero gli altri.''
fabiovolo.
All right guys, this is my first tv review!
Altered Carbon is set in 2384, where people don’t age or actually die because their consciousness are put in “sleeves”, a term meaning new bodies. Everyone is equipped with “stacks”, which preserves the consciousness at the back of the neck. The main character is Takeshi Kovacs, played by Will Yun Lee in the original body, is a soldier/mercenary of a group, and somehow wakes up 250 years later after he is killed, in a new body, played by Joel Kinnaman. He is a prisoner facing crimes, but is given the decision to help solve the murder of a wealthy “meth”, Laurens Bancroft (James Purefoy), or remain in prison for life.
So this show is based on a book back in 2002, (which I have never read yet) written by author Richard K. Morgan, despite many people saying the differences like merging characters or derivative of source material. I love the mystery, mood, dark tones, diversity, nice themes and the consciousness thing which could be real and might happen in the future. The story is very rich and engaging, because on the way with Takeshi’s investigation, there are a few subplots and a slew of supporting characters and enemies. Takeshi doesn’t go alone, he’s got Detective Ortega (Maria Higareda) who sometimes works with him or behind his back. Poe, based on Edgar Allan Poe, who is the hotel manager of an A.I hotel named Raven who provides Takeshi his stay and a base (nice nod, because the actor, Chris Conner, does resemble the original). There’s also a military medic, played by Ato Essandoh, and so many characters along the way.
This show is full of visuals, twists and turns, plus some awesome action sequences, flashbacks jumping to 250 years ago and present, plus some sex and violence (you know what I mean). It is highly reminiscent of sci fi movies, games, books and tv shows, notably Blade Runner, the Deus Ex franchise, Total Recall, Robocop and etc. The cast is also great too, they give off great performances, and is pretty diverse.
Last but not least is the terms and expansive vocabulary, which is pretty cool, like “meth” meaning the richest, wealthiest people praised like gods, based on the Biblical figure, Methuselah. The only problems are a few plot holes and the ending, but overall, I’m pretty impressed with the show—-and I’m looking forward to a season 2.
If you’re a fan of sci-fi, just looking for something good to watch, or whatever reasons, this new show that popped up a few days ago should pleasure you. Also, some references and Easter eggs :)

Its so true that sometimes the story is so much different than what meets the eye. Here's a shot that I have altered a bit using photoshop (mostly the clone stamp tool) and below is the original. I guess, we all know which "reality" this bird might prefer...
Well, I am trying to learn some PS tricks... hope you like the result.

A symbol of the United States Capitol becomes a mirage of mythical creatures fabricated of elaborately carved white steel. Each cut is rendered in the archetypical graphic style of Pacific Northwest Coast Indian imagery.
Stepping into a cage of white lace, the interior space vaults overhead, as a ladder of carved white swings descends from above. Eagle and feather imagery cover the walls. Together these elements suggest the set of an elaborate birdcage, placed ironically and symbolically within the framework of a colonialist political power symbol. Yet, as one ascends the swings, every platform reveals the wisdom of a different Indian Nation carved into the seats. This tangible union of opposites offers itself as a gathering space to ruminate on the origin of American "civilization" amidst the enduring dignity and vision of it's Native Peoples. A government building is transformed into an Altered State.
Well, i decided to stop a little with my mineral crystals as i know it´s not for everyone´s taste. For me they are amazing as they represent the visible way of the order of molecules and the chemical link in the basis of our universe. :)
But for not doing an extreme change in my gallery, i post geology in all its manifestation! Altered mountains. Color created by the hidrothermal fluids that change the rock physical and chemical composition. A view to remember. Love this place.
St. Peter's Church is a Roman Catholic parish church in the inner city of Munich, southern Germany. Its 91-metre (299 ft) tower is commonly known as "Alter Peter"—Old Peter—and is emblematic of Munich. St Peter's is the oldest recorded parish church in Munich and presumably the originating point for the whole city.
