The dawn is breaking

A light shining through

You're barely waking

And I'm tangled up in you

Yeah

 

But I'm open, you're closed

Where I follow, you'll go

I worry I won't see your face

Light up again

 

Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the wrong words seem to rhyme

Out of the doubt that fills my mind

I somehow find, you and I collide

 

I'm quiet, you know

You make a first impression

I've found I'm scared to know

I'm always on your mind

 

Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the stars refuse to shine

Out of the back you fall in time

I somehow find, you and I collide

 

Don't stop here

I've lost my place

I'm close behind

 

Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the wrong words seem to rhyme

Out of the doubt that fills your mind

You finally find, you and I collide

 

You finally find

You and I collide

You finally find

You and I collide

Kölner Dom mit Oper und Fernsehturm ---------------------------------

Der Kölner Dom (offiziell Hohe Domkirche Sankt Petrus) ist eine römisch-katholische Kirche in Köln unter dem Patrozinium des Apostels Petrus.[1] Er ist die Kathedrale des Erzbistums Köln sowie Metropolitan-kirche der Kirchenprovinz Köln.

 

Der Kölner Dom ist eine der größten Kathedralen im gotischen Baustil. Sein Bau wurde 1248 begonnen und erst 1880 vollendet. Einige Kunsthistoriker haben den Dom wegen seiner einheitlichen und ausgewogenen Bauform als „vollkommene Kathedrale“ bezeichnet.[2]

 

Ursprünglich als repräsentative Kathedrale der Kölner Erzbischöfe und monumentales Reliquiar[3] für die Gebeine der Heiligen Drei Könige geplant, galt der Dom bei seiner Vollendung im 19. Jahrhundert als Nationalsymbol für Deutschland. Nach Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurde der scheinbar unversehrte Dom inmitten der ausgebombten Stadt als „Wunder“[4] verstanden und zu einem emotionalen Symbol für den Lebenswillen.[5]

 

Der Dom zählt seit 1996 zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe und gehört zu den meistbesuchten Sehenswürdigkeiten Deutschlands.

Unter dem Dom wurden Reste römischer Wohnhäuser des 1. bis 4. Jahrhunderts ausgegraben. Im späten 4. oder im 5. Jahrhundert entstand unter dem Chor des heutigen Domes ein 30 bis 40 m langer Apsiden-bau, der vielleicht schon eine Kirche war. Dieser Bau wurde noch im 5. oder frühen 6. Jahrhundert durch einen ähnlich großen Bau abgelöst. In ihm wurden in den 530er-Jahren reiche fränkische Fürstengräber angelegt, was auf eine kirchliche Nutzung hinweist. Darüber entstand in der zweiten Hälfte des 6. Jahrhunderts eine neue Kirche, die archäologisch durch ihre schlüssellochförmige Kanzel (Ambo) erkennbar ist. Diese Kirche bestand wohl bis um 800 und wuchs in Richtung Westen bis etwa zur Größe des nachfolgenden Alten Domes.

 

Außerdem gibt es östlich des heutigen Domchores noch Überreste eines aus dem 6. Jahrhundert stammenden Baptisteriums (ein von einer Kirche abgetrennter Taufraum) mit einem achtseitigen Taufbecken (Taufpiscina). Das Baptisterium selbst war erst rechteckig, wurde dann kreuzförmig erweitert, und war schließlich wieder rechteckig. Es war über zwei seitliche Gänge mit der Kirche verbunden. Das Baptisterium wurde wahrscheinlich im 9. Jahrhundert beim Bau des alten Domes abgerissen und durch einen im alten Dom aufgestellten Taufstein ersetzt. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cologne Cathedral (German: Kölner Dom, officially Hohe Domkirche Sankt Petrus, English: Cathedral Church of Saint Peter) is a Catholic cathedral in Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Cologne and of the administration of the Archdiocese of Cologne. It is a renowned monument of German Catholicism and Gothic architecture and was declared a World Heritage Site[3] in 1996.[4] It is Germany's most visited landmark, attracting an average of 20,000 people a day.[5] At 157 m (515 ft), the cathedral is the tallest twin-spired church in the world, the second tallest church in Europe after Ulm Minster, and the third tallest church of any kind in the world.[6] It is the largest Gothic church in Northern Europe and has the second-tallest spires. The towers for its two huge spires give the cathedral the largest façade of any church in the world. The choir has the largest height-to-width ratio, 3.6:1, of any medieval church.[7][page needed]

 

Construction of Cologne Cathedral began in 1248 but was halted in the years around 1560,[8] unfinished. Attempts to complete the construction began around 1814 but the project didn't gain full steam until the 1840s. The edifice was completed to its original Medieval plan in 1880.[9]

 

Cologne's medieval builders had planned a grand structure to house the reliquary of the Three Kings and fit its role as a place of worship for the Holy Roman Emperor. Despite having been left incomplete during the medieval period, Cologne Cathedral eventually became unified as "a masterpiece of exceptional intrinsic value" and "a powerful testimony to the strength and persistence of Christian belief in medieval and modern Europe".[3] Only the telecommunications tower is higher than the cathedral. When construction began on the present Cologne Cathedral in 1248 with laying a foundation stone, the site had already been occupied by several previous structures. The earliest may have been for grain storage and possibly was succeeded by a Roman temple built by Mercurius Augustus. From the 4th century on, however, the site was occupied by Christian buildings, including a square edifice known as the "oldest cathedral" that was commissioned by Maternus, the first bishop of Cologne. A free-standing baptistery dating back to the 7th century was located at the east end of the present cathedral but was demolished in the 9th century to build the second cathedral. During excavations of the present cathedral, graves were discovered in the location of the oldest portion of the building; including that of a boy that was richly adorned with grave goods and another of a woman, popularly thought to be Wisigard. Both graves are thought to be from the 6th century. Only ruins of the baptistery and the octagonal baptismal font remain today.[citation needed]

 

The second church, called the "Old Cathedral", was completed in 818. It was destroyed by fire on 30 April 1248, during demolition work to prepare for a new cathedral. In 1164, the Archbishop of Cologne, Rainald of Dassel, acquired the relics of the Three Kings which the Holy Roman Emperor, Frederick Barbarossa, had taken from the Basilica of Sant'Eustorgio, Milan, Italy. (Parts of the relics have since been returned to Milan.) The relics have great religious significance and drew pilgrims from all over Christendom. It was important to church officials that they be properly housed, and thus began a building program in the new style of Gothic architecture, based in particular on the French cathedral of Amiens.[citation needed]

 

The foundation stone was laid on 15 August 1248, by Archbishop Konrad von Hochstaden.[11] The eastern arm was completed under the direction of Master Gerhard, was consecrated in 1322 and sealed off by a temporary wall so it could be used as the work continued. Eighty-four misericords in the choir date from this building phase.[citation needed]

 

In the mid-14th century work on the west front commenced under Master Michael. This work ceased in 1473, leaving the south tower complete to the belfry level and crowned with a huge crane that remained in place as a landmark of the Cologne skyline for 400 years.[12][page needed] Some work proceeded intermittently on the structure of the nave between the west front and the eastern arm, but during the 16th century this also stopped.[

Im horrible with backrounds so heres more blaring white lights. :3

in the backround "St. Michael's Abbey"

Michaelsberg Abbey or Michelsberg Abbey, also St. Michael's Abbey, Bamberg (German: Kloster Michaelsberg or Michelsberg) is a former Benedictine monastery in Bamberg in Bavaria, Germany. After its dissolution in 1803 the buildings were used for the almshouse Vereinigte Katharinen- und Elisabethen-Spital, which is still there as an old people's home. The former abbey church remains in use as the Michaelskirche. WIKIPEDIA

I was killing time waiting for my photowalk participants to show up. I'm actually surprised this came out.

Important keyboard shortcuts for 500px (Note: for a PC cmd=ctl)

 

cmd-click (to load a page in a tab in the backround)

cmd-w (to close a window)

f (to fave a photo)

L (to like a photo)

cmd-option-arrow key (to move between open tabbed windows)

 

My two favorite photosharing sites at present are 500px and Flickr. In this post I'll try to explain how I browse photos on 500px to find and uncover great photographs and also how to navigate the site. You can see the companion article How to Browse Flickr Like a Pro here.

 

500px is one of the most exciting photosharing sites on the scene today. It's a stark contrast to Flickr.

 

Flickr is a slow moving slow innovating behemoth owned by crappy Yahoo. 500px is a scrappy, fast moving, weekly innovating startup that just received over 500k in VC financing.

 

Flickr's community managers / staffers are abusive with their users and ban and censor people and ridicule their users. 500px owners are nice and pleasant and actually interact with their users on their site, Twitter, etc.

 

500px has a fresh new elegant photo page design. Flickr still looks like a tired old website from 2004.

 

500px seems to actually care about great photography. Flickr could care less (the quality on flickr declined dramatically overall when they turned it into a dumping ground by integrating Yahoo photos into it a few years ago and has gotten worse and worse).

 

500px is not frightened by the artistic female form. Flickr is scared to death of the female form (they censored this photo of a painting I took of a painting at the Art Institute of Chicago -- ridiculous).

 

It's exciting to see people that actually care about photography and photographers in charge at 500px. And it's been great watching so many of the best flickr accounts migrate over there over the past several months.

 

So where do I go to find great photos on 500px? All over the place.

 

For starters (like flickr) I go to my friends most recent uploads. Unlike Flickr (who will only show you the last 1 or 5 photos by your contacts) 500px shows you all of your contacts most recent uploads. The first thing I do here is cmd-click all of the paging icons at the bottom. This opens up the photo thumbnail pages in background tabs that I can tab to later without wasting time while they load. As they load in the background I'm cmd-clicking other photos on the page most recently loaded where I want to see larger photos. 500px gives you nice big thumbnails on this page in contrast to flickr's tired old page.

 

After browsing my friends most recent uploads to 500px, next I move on to my own recent activity page there. They just started paging this page this week and so now you can see all of your recent activity (like Flickr). Here, similar to flickr, I'll cmd-click the names of people who have interacted with my photos to load their photo pages in background tabs. From their I cmd-click the photos that I like on their page to open them up bigger and so that I can interact with them. If I like the photo I'll use the keyboard to quickly press "F" and "L" to both fave and like the photo.

 

Next I go to 500px's version of Explore (called Popular Photos). Here you will find some of the best photographs being published on the web today. I'm not kidding. 500px's Popular Photos page BLOWS flickr's Explore page out of the water. And 500px doesn't even need a secret "magic blacklisting donkey" algorithm to produce it.

 

Along with Popular Photos, 500px also has Fresh Photos, Upcoming Photo, and a staff curated section called Editor's Choice.

 

On each of these pages I'll cmd-click thumbnails to load photos to interact with in background tabs. Further, 500px allows you to filter these sections by subject, landscapes, people, nature, fine art NUDES! (did he just say nudes? don't worry folks, you have to check a NSFW tab in order to see these -- can you imagine FLICKR actually giving people an option to see the most popular nudes?)

 

By using the techniques described above, I can find some really amazing photos by some really amazing photographers on 500px. By relying heavily on the cmd-click function, I can more rapidly and efficiently navigate the site, allowing load time to take place in background tabs, leaving as much time as possible for me to actually spend appreciating and interacting with a photograph.

 

As a bonus tip, on other thing that I'm starting to do on both Flickr and 500px is curate photographs with Pinterest. I've just started doing this, but if I especially like a photograph on flickr or 500px (or anywhere on the web really) I'll pin it to a gallery on Pinterest. Here is a gallery I've started called "So This is America" which includes interesting and compelling photographs of America and here is another gallery that I've started of some of my favorite photographs by one of my greatest inspirations, American photographer William Eggleston. Pinterest is really what Flickr's own galleries should have looked like if they hadn't of done it so half-ass and with so many restrictions and limitations.

People and far backround are from real vintage photographs.

La “sindrome da rientro” può essere accentuata:

 

1. dalla frustrazione e dalla delusione derivate dal non aver raggiunto appieno gli obiettivi del viaggio: divertimento, riposo, salute, cultura, ecc. Solitamente infatti la gente le vacanze di aspettative superiori a quanto dovrebbe.

 

2. dalla difficoltà di adattamento che la vacanza stessa aveva comportato e dalla fatica ad essa connessa,

 

3. dalle lunghe code, dallo stress della guida e dall’inquinamento legato al traffico in un paese come l’Italia dove le ferie sono ancora concentrate nel mese di agosto.

   

La Sindrome da rientro dura solitamente qualche giorno ma può perdurare per oltre un mese a seconda della durata del periodo del viaggio.

 

Solitamente più è lunga la vacanza, più è diversa rispetto alle normali attività, maggiore è lo sforzo per recuperare l’efficienza lavorativa, la forma psico-fisica che ci consentiva di avere successo nella professione svolta. La vacanza, come tempo connesso al risposo ed allo svago, provoca un allontanamento dagli schemi mentali abituali che ci consentivano di organizzare la giornata lavorativa e di risolvere i problemi della vita quotidiana. Ne consegue che si può verificare un quadro di Wash Out che può essere fortemente ansiogeno. Si dimenticano progetti, appuntamenti, numeri telefonici, schemi mentali, in breve si teme di perdere ciò che si aveva, con conseguenze sul piano economico, professionale, affettivo. Si teme di non essere più ciò che si era prima delle vacanze. Era stato il nostro cervello che per consentirci il riposo aveva cancellato il superfluo e talora anche più.
