Cloudy (Paul Simon)
"...Cloudy
My thoughts are scattered and they're cloudy
They have no borders, no boundaries
They echo and they swell
From Tolstoy to Tinker Bell
Down from Berkeley to Carmel
Got some pictures in my pocket and a lot of time to kill
Hey sunshine
I haven't seen you in a long time
Why don't you show your face and bend my mind?
These clouds stick to the sky
Like a floating question, why?
And they linger there to die
They don't know where they are going
And, my friend, neither do I
Cloudy..."

I was waiting for my son Domenico involved in his last job interviews before being engaged by the C.I.R.A. (Italian Aerospace Research Center) - which you can see the main entrance in the photo published here.
I am really happy for him and proud of him ... reasearch has always been his greatest passion!.
Today is his first day at the new job.

Ecco cosa stavo facendo qui e qui :
Aspettavo che mio figlio Domenico facesse gli ultimi colloqui prima di essere assunto al C.I.R.A. - Centro Italiano Ricerche Aerospaziali (Italian Aerospace Research Center) - di cui vedete l'entrata principale nella foto qui pubblicata.
Sono contento per lui e fiero di lui ... la ricerca è sempre stata la sua più grande passione!.

52 in 2022 Challenge - 8 Your Favourite Number
The other week I was out with Darren Wilkin and mentioned that I had to do my favourite number for a challenge, but I don't really have a favourite number.
Darren instantly said 42, and it just so happened that yesterday I was sat at table number 42. So 42 can now be my favourite number :)))
The morning of February 14 dawned cold and quiet. Early in the afternoon a furious roar broke the stillness, and the earth began to shake. Andrew H. Foote's Union gunboat fleet, consisting of the ironclads St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Louisville, and Carondolet, and the timberclads Conestoga and Tyler, had arrived from Fort Henry via the Tennessee and Ohio Rivers and were exchanging "iron valentines" with the eleven big guns in the Southern water batteries. During this one and one-half hour duel the Confederates wounded Foote and inflicted such extensive damage upon the gunboats that they were forced to retreat. The hills and hollows echoed with cheers from the southern soldiers.
The Confederate generals-John Floyd, Gideon Pillow, Simon Buckner and Bushrod Johnson-also rejoiced; but sober reflection revealed another danger. Grant was receiving reinforcements daily and had extended his right flank almost to Lick Creek to complete the encirclement of the Southerners. If the Confederates did not move quickly, they would be starved into submission. Accordingly, they massed their troops against the Union right, hoping to clear a route to Nashville and safety. Both Confederate and Union soldiers fought furiously on the morning of February 15; the Union Army grudgingly retreated by the afternoon. Just as it seemed the way was clear, the Southern troops were ordered to return to their entrenchments-a result of confusion and indecision among the Confederate commanders. Grant immediately launched a vigorous counterattack, retaking most of the lost ground and gaining new positions as well. The way of escape was closed once more.
Floyd and Pillow turned over command of Fort Donelson to Buckner and slipped away to Nashville with about 2,000 men. Others followed cavalryman Lt. Colonel Nathan Bedford Forrest across swollen Lick Creek. That morning, February 16, Buckner asked Grant for terms. Grant's answer was short and direct: "No terms except an unconditional and immediate surrender can be accepted." Buckner surrendered.
Soon after the surrender, civilians and relief agencies rushed to assist the Union Army. The U.S. Sanitary Commission was one of the first to provide food, medical supplies, and hospital ships to transport the wounded. Many civilians came in search of loved ones or to offer support. Although not officially recognized as nurses, women such as Mary Bickerdyke and Mary Newcomb, cared for and comforted sick and wounded soldiers.
With the capture of Fort Donelson and its sister fort, Henry, the North had not only won its first great victory, it had also gained a new hero--"Unconditional Surrender" Grant, who was promoted to major general. Subsequent victories at Shiloh, Vicksburg, and Chattanooga would lead to his appointment as lieutenant general and commander of all Union Armies. Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox would send Grant to the White House.
After the fall of Fort Donelson, the South was forced to give up southern Kentucky and much of Middle and West Tennessee. The Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers, and railroads in the area, became vital Federal supply lines. Nashville was developed into a huge supply depot for the Union army in the west. The heartland of the Confederacy was opened, and the Federals would press on until the "Union" became a fact once more.
"Fort Donelson will hereafter be marked in Capitals on the maps of our United Country..."
~Brigadier General Ulysses S. Grant was becoming quite famous as he wrote these words following the surrender of Confederate Fort Donelson on Sunday, February 16, 1862. The Union victory at Fort Donelson elated the North, and stunned the South. Within days of the surrender, Clarksville and Nashville would fall into Union hands. Grant and his troops had created a pathway to victory for the Union.

One question ... 2 answers , infinite viewpoints !. Is it art ?
Or is this FHING ART ? for those who appreciate anagrams and old money !
For reference - area in picture approximately 10mm ( 1cm ) width.
In this instance to get this close I used a Miranda 35-70 fitted back to front via reversing ring to triple extension tubes. Shot at f22. I used liveview and a macro slider to make focussing easier - though with these longer exposures I really do need to think about finding a more solid base to put the objects on than my coffee table ! I could also consider using flash !
#Answer Yes or No...:)

P.s:Cmt cho pic dứi nha tks nhìu dắm :).
Sometimes I look at you and I simply wish I had a photocamera in my eyes.
It would answer so many question I have no words to answer to...
"What do you find attractive in him?" "Why do you even bother?"
All it would take is some easy snapshots: The face you make when you think, the face you make when you smile, the moments you notice the smallest signs of distress, and you're ready to try and help.
I wish I could show everyone the answer to their questions, but then... no. This is mine. The wonderful secret of your better sides...
I feel like not even a second was wasted in the process of knowing you, and staying by your side.
When the cameraman is tired and unhappy behind his wall of tecnology, nobody really notices it.
They keep on acting their roles, and who the fuck even cares?
*You* care.
Thank you.

Toledo was conquered by Tariq ibn Ziyad in 711 A.D. and that is when the moorish influence started to take its roots in this town. This is a panoramic view of the entire city from Mirador del Valle.

Marc Ribot - "The Big Fool"
I can see a wave approaching
And it threatens all I live for
"The ceremony of innocence
Is drowned" in Texas oil
But the big fool says keep pushing
And the big fool says keep pushing
The big fool says push on
26. i have another shot where you can see the wrinkles around her mouth. she’s a trail horse for non-riders which means she has the patience of a lace maker, the stamina of a p.o.w. and the love of your mother. the stable manager, an old trainer of trotters and a true caregiver to horses, told me his family buried their 34 year old mare not too long ago. what goes around, comes around. at a walk, trot or "watch me fly".
In an instant
She knew
Every answer
To every question
Why was she given
This burden
What was she to tell
The world
What is the point
Of life
If we know
Everything
Luckily
Molly has short term
Memory loss
And so it was
The burden was lifted
Ten minutes later
The End....or shall we say
The Beginning, again!

I'm not that stoked about how this picture came out. But oh well, here it is. Basil (as always) was such a good sport.
