Oggi, 4 giugno, Giornata Internazionale per i bambini innocenti, vittime di aggressioni.
Fu istituita nel 1982 dall' Assemblea generale delle Nazioni Unite durante un seminario speciale sulla questione della Palestina (!) , nel corso della quale emerse in tutta la sua drammaticità il numero di vittime della violenza bellica.
Ricordiamo in questo giorno gli enormi danni e sofferenze causati ai bambini attraverso le varie forme di violenza, in tutto il mondo, per promuovere una cultura di pace, per il rispetto dei diritti umani.
I bambini sono le vere vittime, le più innocenti ed indifese dei vari abusi non solo fisici, ma anche mentali ed emotivi. Abusi nella famiglia innanzitutto.
I bambini, i giovani, sono anche i grandi dimenticati dalla società, che si ricorda di loro spesso per trarne un profitto economico o sfruttarli, nei Paesi più poveri.
E poi la guerra... Enorme sofferenza che li priva, oltre che della vita, di un futuro, degli affetti, dei loro diritti. Guerra che talvolta è camuffata col nome di pace o in nome di un presunto progresso.
'... Abolire la guerra è l' unica speranza per l'uomo...'
( Discorso di Gino Strada, per la consegna del 'Right Livelihood Award nel 2015).
Molte sono le Giornate mondiali contro la violenza, a favore dei bambini, ma sembra che nulla cambi.
Sono già 261 i bambini uccisi dalla guerra
in Ucraina, e ogni giorno 2 bambini muoiono sotto i bombardamenti, e circa 4 sono feriti.
Circa 15.000 I bambini morti in Afghanistan da inizio anno per malnutrizione e stenti.
Ci sarebbero tanti altri dati da cercare. Bambini morti nelle varie guerre, bambini affogati in acqua o uccisi dal freddo alle frontiere....
Bambini soldato che non sono più bambini...
Loro ci guardano.
They are looking at us
International Day for innocent children, victims of aggression
So, I traveled to looking glass rock overlook last night. Was mainly planning on assembling a composition to see what would be possible in the event of good lighting. I spent an hour wandering around, trying different angles. I determined this will be a great place for a sunrise photo during a cloud inversion. Providing that the clouds don't cover looking glass itself. I need more green, though I did like this particular composition, the light clouds, a streak of light through the valley.

The National Assembly (French: Assemblée nationale) is the lower house of the bicameral French Parliament under the Fifth Republic, the upper house being the Senate (Sénat). The National Assembly's legislators are known as députés.
There are 577 députés, each elected by a single-member constituency (at least one per department) through a two-round system; thus, 289 seats are required for a majority. The president of the National Assembly presides over the body. The officeholder is usually a member of the largest party represented, assisted by vice presidents from across the represented political spectrum. The National Assembly's term is five years; however, the President of France may dissolve the Assembly, thereby calling for new elections, unless it has been dissolved in the preceding twelve months.
Following a tradition started by the first National Assembly during the French Revolution, the left-wing parties sit to the left as seen from the president's seat and the right-wing parties to the right; the seating arrangement thus directly indicates the left–right political spectrum as represented in the Assembly. The official seat of the National Assembly is the Palais Bourbon on the Rive Gauche of the Seine in the 7th arrondissement of Paris. The Assembly also uses other neighboring buildings, including the Immeuble Chaban-Delmas on the Rue de l'Université, Paris. Like most institutions of importance in Paris, it is guarded by Republican Guards.

La Luna y el castillo II. (Castellet - Cataluña)
Un día mi querida amiga Amparo García, me comentó que tendriamos nuestra Luna muy grande por lo que decidí ir al Castillo de Castellet para fotografiarlo con el castillo en primer plano, pero aún en la carretera al acercarme veo que se asoma por detrás del castillo y veo que tengo que desplazarme a la derecha para encuadrarla mejor, por lo que ví un camino de tierra adentrándose en una extensión de viñedos, doy un golpe de volante y me meto en plena oscuridad dentro de los viñedos, como si de una cita amorosa se tratara, pero con la salvedad que estaba yo solo frente a la Luna.
Monté mi equipo y localicé el mejor punto y esperé... realice varios disparos y me salí pitando para la base del castillo para hacer otros planos que ya son otras fotos.
Nota: Me daba mucha pereza ir de noche y solo, pero pensé que el escenario podía ser de lo más pintoresco y fui a por ella..
Al ver los resultados y como muestra de agradecimiento, por ello se la dediqué a mi querida amiga, que siempre la tengo dispuesta para una ayuda si hiciera falta.
Te la dediqué cuando salió a la luz y te la vuelvo a dedicar hoy querida Amparo, un fuerte abrazo.
Antoni Gallart.

The Moon and the castle II. (Castellet - Catalonia)
Photograph dedicated to my good friend Amparo García Iglesias, for letting me know about the upcoming event.
One day my dear friend Amparo García, told me that we would have our moon very large, so I decided to go to Castellet Castle to photograph it with the castle in the foreground, but still on the road when I get closer I see that it looks out from behind the castle and I see that I have to move to the right to better frame it, so I saw a dirt road going into an extension of vineyards, I give a blow of the wheel and I get into the darkness inside the vineyards, as if from a love appointment It was, but with the exception that I was alone in front of the Moon.
I assembled my equipment and located the best point and I waited ... I made several shots and I went out to the base of the castle to make other plans that are already other photos.
Note: I was very lazy to go at night and alone, but I thought that the setting could be the most picturesque and I went for it.
Seeing the results and as a token of appreciation, for this I dedicated it to my dear friend, who is always ready for help if necessary.
I dedicated it to you when it came to light and I dedicate it to you today dear Amparo, a big hug.
Antoni Gallart.

Née le 17 juin 1789, L'Assemblée nationale est au cœur de notre démocratie. Elle forme avec le Sénat le pouvoir législatif dont la mission est de faire la loi et de contrôler le Gouvernement.
P.S. en comparaison, nous avons 577 députés pour environ 69 000 000 habitants, quand les USA ont 435 députés pour 340 000 000 habitants !

Friend, Erna, painted this from one of my first flickr contributions, of a Bristlecone Pine in the White Mountains of California. In exchange, I photographed, assembled, arranged, and published a blurb book of all her work.

Some pieces of wood, a sawblade and a string.
Okay, that "sawblade" is only a pice of pounded copper wire, because I didn't want to ruin a good jigsaw blade - they'll break sooner or later, and maybe then I can replace it. I actually pondered riveting the blade to the handles, but in the end I glued it.
All of the wood pieces are sawn and filed down freehand from one bigger bord, so there's no right angle or straight line in the whole design.

Mono conversion of the 'Collective' image. Changed the crop slightly to emphasise the foreground a little.
One of the first of the Huron Alco's that I seen after there move to Green Bay/Escanaba areas was RS11 4251. Right after the transfer it seemed to make a home on the Antoine-Powers job and was able to be spotted most mornings working east with what freight that could be assembled from the Iron Mountain area to connect with the Green Bay-Escanaba trains at Powers. Its arrived at Powers and the brakeman is riding the steps in preparation to bailing off to get a switch. June 19, 1981
Reminded me of a little ballerina when they do that jump in the air bringing their feet together..
