By the Spanish steps in Rome and the church Trinità dei Monti. Finally here again - the trip was postponed both in 2020 and 2021. For obvious reasons.
I am actually here for work, so it was not just a matter of missing out on a wonderful place, but also quite a hindrance to the archaeological publications I am a part of. But even so, there is some moments left for just taking a walk through one of the loveliest cities in the world - and to bring my camera along!
(And hopefully there will be some time for me to pop in and say hi and post a new photo or so, now and then.)
A fresh start ( from country to the city )

The Pont Neuf is the oldest standing bridge across the river Seine in Paris, France. It stands by the western point of the Île de la Cité, the island in the middle of the river that was, between 250 and 225 BC, the birthplace of Paris, then known as Lutetia and, during the medieval period, the heart of the city.

Italia, Toscana, Pisa, luminaria di S. Ranieri, primavera 2015
La Luminara di San Ranieri a Pisa è una festa che si svolge ogni anno la sera del 16 giugno, alla vigilia della festa del santo patrono. La tradizione di accendere la città con le candele risale al 1688. Oggi la celebrazione ha assunto una forma specifica: i dettagli architettonici dei palazzi, chiese, torri e ponti lungo l'Arno (finestre, cornici, balconi) sono ricreati con cornici in legno bianco (note come "biancherie").
Questi telai sono montati sui palazzi e qui sono fissate le candele che vengono poi accese dopo il tramonto. Oltre 70.000 "lumini" bruciano e si riflettono sul fiume. Alcune candele inoltre galleggiano sulle acque dell'Arno. La città lungo il lungarno semplicemente risplende. La mezzanotte porta il culmine della Luminara con il tradizionale spettacolo di fuochi d'artificio.
The Luminara for San Ranieri in Pisa is a festivity which takes place every year on the evening of June 16, the eve of the patron saint's feast day. The tradition of lighting the city with candles dates back to 1688. Today the celebration has taken a specific form: the architectural details of the palaces, churches, towers and bridges along the Arno (windows, cornices, balconies) are recreated with white wooden frames (known as “biancherie”).
These frames are fitted onto the buildings and on these frames candles are attached and lit after sunset. Over 70,000 "lumini" (how candles are called in Italian when they are inside a container) burn and reflect on the river. Some candles also floaton the waters of the Arno. The city along the lungarno simply glows. Midnight brings the climax of the Luminara with the traditional fireworks show.

Explored (#5) - Jan 8, 2011.
This was taken on the second day of my NY trip. A visitor would normally expect to see lush green in Central Park, but given the time of the year it was snow white! I was thinking for a shot, and that's when the silhouette of this tree caught my attention. A morbid title, but that's kind of how it looked! This photograph is inspired by Her Days from Aftab
It’s been a minute? Since we didn’t get to see much sun lately let me bring some back in your lives. A beautiful morning sun glow and the thick fog covering Chicago’s Grant Park and reflecting of the luxury trio! What do you think?
Vers 1900, Genk est un paisible village de quelque 3.000 habitants. Genk est connue à l’époque pour ses paysages vallonnés qui attirent de nombreux artistes-peintres. Du charbon est découvert à Genk par André Dumont en 1901 et 3 sites charbonniers se développent : Zwartberg, Waterschei et Winterslag.
Le site minier de Winterslag est gigantesque et la concession souterraine et les bâtiments industriels s’étendent sur des kilomètres. Le premier morceau de charbon est extrait du bassin campinois en 1914, mais l’exploitation minière ne commence vraiment qu’en 1917. La mine ferme ses portes le 31 mars 1988 après un peu plus de 70 ans d’exploitation.
Le complexe charbonnier de Winterslag est un site protégé par décision ministérielle depuis 1993. Le triage-lavoir, la tuilerie, les ateliers et les tours de refroidissement ont disparu, mais le site a conservé la lampisterie et les douches, les locaux administratifs, la salle des machines avec la centrale électrique et les machines d’extraction, les entrepôts, les écuries et les 2 chevalements.
Après la fermeture de la mine, la Ville a exploré le potentiel de reconversion de ces immenses terrains miniers sur son territoire. L’idée de transformer les locaux de l’ancienne mine de charbon Winterslag en centre de la créativité est née dans les années 2000. La Ville de Genk a acheté le site de LRM (Limburg Reconversion Society) en 2001 et l’a rebaptisé C-mine en 2005.
Around 1900, Genk was a peaceful village of some 3,000 inhabitants. Genk was known at the time for its hilly landscapes which attracted many painters. Coal was discovered in Genk by André Dumont in 1901 and 3 coal sites developed: Zwartberg, Waterschei and Winterslag.
The Winterslag mine site is massive, and the underground concession and industrial buildings stretch for miles. The first piece of coal was extracted from the Campine basin in 1914, but mining did not really begin until 1917. The mine closed on March 31, 1988 after just over 70 years of operation.
The Winterslag coal complex has been a site protected by ministerial decision since 1993. The sorting-washing house, the tile factory, the workshops and the cooling towers have disappeared, but the site has retained the lamp store and the showers, the administrative premises, the room. machines with the power station and extraction machines, warehouses, stables and 2 headframes.
After the closure of the mine, the City explored the potential for reconversion of these immense mining lands on its territory. The idea of transforming the premises of the former Winterslag coal mine into a center of creativity was born in the 2000s. The City of Genk bought the LRM site (Limburg Reconversion Society) in 2001 and renamed it C -mine in 2005.
The Farmers Market in Oak Park, Illinois, brings an amazing abundance of colours and flavours to the city on Saturday mornings. Oh, and donuts. It also brings amazing donuts.
Revisión y reedición de unas de mis antiguas imágenes capturadas desde el Empire State Building. Este es el más emblemático rascacielos neoyorquino con sus más de cuatrocientos metros de altura, todo un icono sobre la isla de Manhattan - New York.
Esta captura está hecha desde la planta 102 situada a 351 metros de altura. En la imagen se ve el rio Hudson justo antes de su desembocadura y tras el las ciudades de Jersey City y Hoboken, pertenecientes al estado de New Jersey, detrás de ellas el sol antes del ocaso.
