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.
This will be my background for a while so please leave a comment, If I should keep a infinite white background or this.
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.[

Some more mucking about with Daz 3D backrounds as the basis of another composite with Yann the man and his trusty slap bass.
This was originally meant to be a bar interior background. Every time I try to render it out - it crashes my Mac. Meh!
Yann is shot against a neutral grey backdrop. The rest is added in photoshop.

This is one of the most beautiful and distinctive nebulae in our galactic neighbourhood.
The eye-catching Bubble Nebula is designated as NGC 7635, Sharpless 162 and Caldwell 11 and lies close to the direction of the open cluster Messier 52.
It is 7 light-years across – about 1.5 times the distance from our Sun to its nearest star, Alpha Centauri and resides 7100 light years from Earth in north-western Cassiopeia close to the border with Cepheus.
The 8.7 magnitude seething star forming this nebula (BD+60°2522) is 45 times more massive than our Sun. Gas on the star gets so hot that it escapes away into space as a stellar wind moving at almost 7 million km/h.
As the surface of the bubble's shell expands outward, it collides with dense regions of cold gas on one side of the bubble. This asymmetry makes the star appear dramatically off-center from the bubble, with its location in the 10 o'clock position in this image.
NOTE: This is a pseudo-narrowband image. I tried with post-processing to give the impression of using Ha, OIII and SII filters. The original version shows only red nebulosity (hudrogen). It was really a persistent and painful struggle in Photoshop :)
