Front and back of the needle case. Partner - do you like this? If you don't I am VERY happy to keep it as I had so much fun making it! The fabrics are all sewing related!!! I will show the surprises inside another day!!! ;)
Four cases bathed in soft light by an overhead skylight within this gloomy attic space. Shot inside a derelict farm cottage on a recent weekend away. I had had a pin marker for this location for a long time now but didn't think I'd get to see it due to it's location. When my partner booked a B&B for us to stay in, I thought that it looked as though it may be in the area, when I dropped the pin marker onto the same map it turned out to be 4km away... Result!

"lo sa qual'è il mio nome? Ulma! Deve ricordarsi di me! Penso di essere l'unica persona che conoscerà con questo nome."
"Bene, allora devo farle una fotografia, Ulma!"
"Faccia faccia pure! ...lo sa come mi chiamo? ULMA! Non conoscerà altre persone con questo nome, sono l'unica"
"Do you know my name? My name is Ulma. You must remember of me. I'm the only one you will know with that name."
"So I must take a photo of you Ulma!"
"Do it! ....Do you know my name? It's Ulma! Remember it, I'm the only one with this name..."

What is so marvellous about photography is the ability it provides to revisit, re-experience, remember, and, in this case, re-interpret. I needed this reconnection to Rome, and now I'm off to bed again.

Mohawk is the 13th and last of the 270 foot Famous-class cutters. Built by the former Robert Derektor Shipyards of Rhode Island, Mohawk was christened on September 9, 1989. Since the time of her commissioning in March 1991, she served the Coast Guard in a wide variety of missions including Search and Rescue, Maritime Law Enforcement, and Alien Migrant and UFO Interdiction Operations.
Mohawk has been responsible for the rescue of more than 5,000 Haitian, Cuban, and Dominican Republic migrants and has supported as many as 756 migrants on deck at one time. Mohawk has also seized more than 20,700 pounds of illegal drugs. This, as well as Mohawk's role in several search and rescue cases and numerous boardings to enforce the United States national laws, has earned Mohawk two Unit Commendations, the Joint Meritorious Service Award and two Humanitarian Service Awards. Mohawk is homeported in Key West, Florida. On January 13th, 2010, the Mohawk was ordered to assist in the humanitarian relief efforts following the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Her nickname is "Mighty Mo"

*[On a personal note: my younger first-cousin Marty ALWAYS said when we were kids that when he grew up he wanted to work on
the water with the US Coast Guard. Well, he really lived that dream!
He worked for the US Coast Guard for the last 30+ years, enduring moves from Tampa Florida, to Alaska, to Hawaii and back to North Carolina. He will be retiring with many honors within the next year.
Great job, Marty! We're all very proud of you! - Ooh Rah! *salute*]

Casal Novo é uma aldeia de xisto localizada na vertente norte da Serra da Lousã, inserida na rede das Aldeias do Xisto e classificada como parte da Rede Natura 2000. As habitações, tradicionalmente construídas com lajes de xisto, encontram-se organizadas em socalcos ao longo de um eixo principal, complementadas por ruelas em calçada de pedra que se interligam com povoações históricas como Talasnal e Chiqueiro. Este projeto de valorização do património rural, iniciado nos anos 2000, destaca a adaptação da comunidade ao relevo acidentado, utilizando os terraços naturais para construção e cultivo de videiras e outras plantas. Embora desabitada permanentemente desde 1981, as casas são frequentemente utilizadas como segundas habitações. O nome "Casal Novo" remete à sua origem como núcleo rural da Idade Moderna, sendo uma plataforma de avistamento da vila da Lousã e do seu castelo, tornando-a num local de interesse para os visitantes que exploram os antigos caminhos serranos.
Casal Novo is a schist village located on the northern slopes of the Serra da Lousã, part of the Schist Villages network and classified as part of the Natura 2000 network. The houses, traditionally built with schist slabs, are organized in terraces along a main axis, complemented by cobbled streets that connect with historic villages such as Talasnal and Chiqueiro. This project to enhance rural heritage, which began in the 2000s, highlights the community's adaptation to the rugged terrain, using the natural terraces to build and grow vines and other plants. Although permanently uninhabited since 1981, the houses are often used as second homes. The name “Casal Novo” refers to its origins as a rural nucleus in the Modern Age, being a viewing platform for the town of Lousã and its castle, making it a place of interest for visitors exploring the old mountain paths.

We had a show and tell later and Kate had photographed these Case beetle larvae. Nice find Kate!! :-)
I went back looking for it today but couldn't see it.

Fig. 51 (p. 134) - A representation of the art of dying in Savonarola’s book ‘Predica dell’arte del bene morire’ (Firenze, 1504). The two-division of life and death is superimposed on a four-division of heaven and earth.
Pp. 267 - 268 in: Vision of Four Notions - Marten Kuilman (unpublished). 'Visions of Four Notions' is the second book of a quadrilogue by Marten Kuilman. The book deals primarily with the theoretical aspects of quadralectic thinking. It was completed in November 2001:
The introduction of das Geviert (the four-fold), in the later works of Martin Heidegger (Vorträge und Aufsätze, 1954), pointed to the interplay of heaven and earth, the holy and the mortal. He saw these four entities as the main constituencies in the creation of space and Being. His visualisation of the four-fold, as a meeting place for man and nature, is a strong reminder to the picture of the ‘art of dying’ in Girolamo Savonarola’s book ‘Predica dell’arte del bene morire’ (see p. 134; fig. 51). This symmetrical woodcut – shaped at the Pivotal Point of the European cultural history (Chapter 6.1; fig. 66; p. 188) – has exactly the components, which Heidegger saw as the ‘world’ (das bauende Hervorbringen).
The boundary between heaven and earth is right in the middle. The Death emphasizes the opposition by pointing his arms to the signs quasu (now written as quassu, an (Italian) adverb meaning ‘up here’ or ‘on high’) and quagiu (now quaggiu, translated as ‘down here’, on earth). The contrast between holy and mortal is envisaged in God and the angels, in the upper half, and Satan (as the fallen angel Lucifer) and the devils in the lower half. These two oppositional pairs (heaven-earth and holy-mortal) represent the basic qualities of any communication in place and time (or in their operational disguises as division and movement).
Heidegger’s Geviert has, although covered in a blanket of hard-to-under-stand terms (‘penetrating the thickets of Heidegger’s terminological jungle’), a strong analogy with Savonarola’s ‘art of dying’. Both renderings try to construct, despite a time gap of 450 years, a ‘life-monument’, which is able to surpass the black-and-white setting of life (and death). The composition of (four) quadrants gives room for a broader picture of reality-itself:
1. God sits in heaven, in a circle of clouds. The blessing figure, surrounded by nine angels (the muses?) amidst stars, is framed in a mandorla with four angels. This holy place bears all the characteristics of the First Quadrant, the invisible invisibility of the quadralectic mind.
2. The holy circle shines its light into a rather empty sky. Only two angels populate this part of the picture, floating on a cloud. Their gestures indicate an invitation to the mortals below. The symmetry of the figures is probably a reference to the First Division, in this case a two-division. They form, together with God in heaven, a trinity in quasu. The invisible visibility of the division-environment is characteristic for the Second Quadrant.
3. The dualism of Life and Death reaches its zenith in the world of the mortal. The richly dressed nobleman, with his purse strapped to his belt, has an encounter with Death. The man tries to plea his innocence, but death is merciless pointing to heaven. It is time to leave the quagui. Two devils are ready to assist the departure of this earth. They form, together with the mortal and the death, a curious quaternity in quagiu. The visible visibility of the Third Quadrant is a place of limitations.
4. The sad cry of victory by a troubled Lucifer, roaring in the half-circle of the earth, represents the opposite face (of power) in the lower quarter of the picture. Four devils surround the Devil, while he is crushing two unlucky mortals. It seems as if there is no mercy in this place of darkness. A comparison with the visible invisibility of the quadralectic Fourth Quadrant might be appropriate here, but it should be noted, that the emphasis is very much on the oppositional aspects.
