MEXICO, Yucatán, Chichén Itzá, Ballspielplatz
Chichén Itzá ist eine der bedeutendsten Ruinenstätten auf der mexikanischen Halbinsel Yucatán. Sie liegt etwa 120 Kilometer östlich von Mérida im Bundesstaat Yucatán. Ihre Ruinen stammen aus der späten Maya-Zeit. Mit einer Fläche von 1547 Hektar ist Chichén Itzá einer der ausgedehntesten Fundorte in Yucatán. Das Zentrum wird von zahlreichen monumentalen Repräsentationsbauten mit religiös-politischem Hintergrund eingenommen, aus denen eine große, weitestgehend erhaltene Stufenpyramide herausragt. Im direkten Umkreis befinden sich Ruinen von Häusern der Oberschicht.
Chichen Itza] was a large pre-Columbian city built by the Maya people of the Terminal Classic period. The archaeological site is located in Tinúm Municipality, Yucatán State, Mexico.
Chichen Itza was a major focal point in the Northern Maya Lowlands from the Late Classic (c. AD 600–900) through the Terminal Classic (c. AD 800–900) and into the early portion of the Postclassic period (c. AD 900–1200). The site exhibits a multitude of architectural styles, reminiscent of styles seen in central Mexico and of the Puuc and Chenes styles of the Northern Maya lowlands. The presence of central Mexican styles was once thought to have been representative of direct migration or even conquest from central Mexico, but most contemporary interpretations view the presence of these non-Maya styles more as the result of cultural diffusion.
Evángelos Odysséas Papathanassíou (Greek: Ευάγγελος Οδυσσέας Παπαθανασίου; 29 March 1943 – 17 May 2022), known professionally as Vangelis (/væŋˈɡɛlɪs/ vang-GHEL-iss; Greek: Βαγγέλης), was a Greek musician, composer, songwriter and producer of electronic, progressive, ambient, and classical orchestral music. He was best known for his Academy Award-winning score to Chariots of Fire (1981), as well as for composing scores to the films Blade Runner (1982), Missing (1982), Antarctica (1983), The Bounty (1984), 1492: Conquest of Paradise (1992), and Alexander (2004), and for the use of his music in the 1980 PBS documentary series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage by Carl Sagan.
Having had a career in music spanning over 50 years and having composed and performed more than 50 albums, Vangelis is considered to be one of the most important figures in the history of electronic music, and modern film music. He was known for using many electronic instruments in a fashion of a "one-man quasi-classical orchestra" composing and performing on the first take.
(from Wikipedia)
Blade Runner is my one of my all-time favorite movies, its soundtrack is spectacular. I guess almost of us have heard some of Vangelis' music sometimes and have felt something warm inside of us.
This is my tribute to him.
Evángelos Odysséas Papathanassíou, más conocido como Vangelis (Volos, 29 de marzo de 1943-París, 17 de mayo de 2022) fue un tecladista y compositor griego de música electrónica, orquestal, ambient, new age y rock progresivo. Entre sus obras más conocidas destacan las bandas sonoras originales de las películas Carros de fuego (ganadora del Oscar a la mejor banda sonora en 1981), Blade Runner (1982) y 1492: La conquista del paraíso (1992).
Su música se caracteriza por el uso de sintetizadores y, ocasionalmente, instrumentos acústicos para crear atmósferas de sonido envolvente, en un tono generalmente grandioso y solemne. No es sencillo enmarcar sus composiciones dentro de un género en concreto, aunque es habitual que se le incluya entre las filas de las llamadas "nuevas músicas" o, más ampliamente, como músico clásico contemporáneo. La diversidad y complejidad de su discografía hace difícil su catalogación y también es considerado por la crítica como uno de los pioneros de la vanguardia de la música electrónica que aconteció a mediados de los años 1970.8
En su honor la Unión Astronómica Internacional dio su nombre a un asteroide: el (6354) Vangelis.

LA PORTA STRETTA.
Una piacevole passeggiata consente di raggiungere Grottammare alta, l’originario borgo medievale a picco sul mare, raccolto sul ciglio di un colle, con rustiche case e piccole vie, dove si espande il profumo degli aranceti. Lungo il cammino che vi conduce si trova la seicentesca villa del Cardinale Decio Azzolino, dove soggiornò Cristina di Svezia.
A seguito dell’espugnazione della città nel 1525 da parte del pirata Dulcigno, il borgo fu fortificato con mura, porte e un Torrione detto della battaglia.
Nella vicina Piazzetta Peretti si gode di una vista eccezionale dal portico balconato dell’edificio che ospita lo storico Teatro dell’Arancio, nei cui pressi sorge la Torre dell’Orologio.

THE NARROW DOOR.
A pleasant walk allows you to reach Grottammare alta, the original medieval village overlooking the sea, gathered on the edge of a hill, with rustic houses and small streets, where the scent of orange groves expands. Along the path that leads you there is the seventeenth-century villa of Cardinal Decio Azzolino, where Christina of Sweden stayed.
Following the conquest of the city in 1525 by the pirate Ulcigno, the village was fortified with walls, gates and a tower known as the battle tower.
In the nearby Piazzetta Peretti you can enjoy an exceptional view from the balcony portico of the building that houses the historic Orange Theater, near which stands the Clock Tower.

According to their website, keywest.com, over 660,000 cruise passengers visit Key West each year. The cruise ship, Carnival Conquest, was in port on the day we visited Key West.
Carnival Conquest, operated by Carnival Cruise Lines, made its maiden voyage in 2002. The 953 foot (290m) long vessel sails from Fort Lauderdale. It carries 2980 passengers and 1150 crew, which might explain why downtown Key West was so crowded ; -)
NOTE TO FLICKR FRIENDS: You may notice that "jannagal" is no more. I have never understood why Flickr uses a person's name in some applications and a screen name in others...very confusing. So my name and screen name are now the same.
Cuenca, Castilla-La Mancha, España.
Cuenca es un municipio y ciudad española perteneciente a la comunidad autónoma de Castilla-La Mancha y capital de la provincia homónima. Está situada algo al norte del centro geográfico de la provincia, a una altitud media de 946 m sobre el nivel del mar y su extenso término municipal, de unos 911 km², es uno de los mayores de España. El municipio cuenta con una población empadronada de 53 389 habitantes (INE 2022).
Aunque en los alrededores de la ciudad se tiene constancia de población desde el Paleolítico Superior, no es hasta la conquista musulmana cuando se construye la fortaleza de Qūnka, que dio origen a la ciudad actual. Esta se contaba, en origen, entre las otras tantas de la cora de Santaver (Ercávica), pero fue ganando importancia paulatinamente. El rey cristiano Alfonso VIII la conquistó en 1177 y le otorgó el Fuero de Cuenca, uno de los más prestigiosos de la historia de Castilla. Su economía se centró en la industria textil, de gran renombre durante los siglos XV y XVI, lo que produjo una gran actividad constructiva. Sin embargo, la pañería se hundió en el siglo XVII, conllevando una drástica pérdida de población, que fue recuperándose a lo largo del siglo siguiente. En 1833 se convirtió en la capital de la nueva provincia de Cuenca, aunque las agitaciones del periodo hicieron que la ciudad se mantuviera en estado precario hasta bien entrado el siglo XX. En la actualidad, la economía se centra sobre todo en el turismo, potenciado desde que en 1996 su casco antiguo fuese declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad.
Cuenca conserva un importante patrimonio histórico y arquitectónico en toda la ciudad antigua, donde destacan edificios como la catedral o las Casas Colgadas, que se han convertido en el icono de la ciudad. Se caracteriza también por poseer un buen número de museos (más de diez) en el reducido espacio del casco antiguo. Destacan el Museo de Arte Abstracto Español, el Museo de las Ciencias de Castilla-La Mancha, el Museo Paleontológico de Castilla-La Mancha y el Museo de Cuenca. Entre los principales eventos culturales se encuentran la Semana Santa y la Semana de Música Religiosa.
Cuenca is a Spanish municipality and city belonging to the autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha and capital of the homonymous province. It is located somewhat to the north of the geographic center of the province, at an average altitude of 946 m above sea level and its extensive municipal area, of about 911 km², is one of the largest in Spain. The municipality has a population registered with 53,389 inhabitants (INE 2022).
Although there is evidence of population in the surroundings of the city since the Upper Paleolithic, it was not until the Muslim conquest when the fortress of Qūnka was built, which gave rise to the current city. This was originally among the many others from the Santaver (Ercávica) cora, but gradually gained importance. The Christian king Alfonso VIII conquered it in 1177 and granted it the Fuero de Cuenca, one of the most prestigious in the history of Castile. focused on the textile industry, of great renown during the 15th and 16th centuries, which produced a great construction activity. However, the drapery collapsed in the 17th century, leading to a drastic loss of population, which gradually recovered over the following century. In 1833 it became the capital of the new province of Cuenca, although the upheavals of the period kept the city in a precarious state until well into the 20th century. Today, the economy is mainly focused on tourism, strengthened since its old town was declared a World Heritage Site in 1996.
Cuenca preserves an important historical and architectural heritage throughout the old city, where buildings such as the cathedral or the Hanging Houses stand out, which have become the icon of the city. It is also characterized by having a good number of museums (more than ten) in the reduced space of the old town. The Museum of Spanish Abstract Art, the Science Museum of Castilla-La Mancha, the Paleontological Museum of Castilla-La Mancha and the Museum of Cuenca stand out. Among the main cultural events are Holy Week and Music Week Religious.
Capito come funzionava il riflesso, nei giorni seguenti sono tornato diverse volte sul luogo, nel tentativo di rifarmi. Purtroppo la luce non mi ha più aiutato e quindi... ...Niente "enrosadira", nella quale confidavo. Non ci crederete ma qualche istante dopo questo scatto ero immerso in un mare di nebbia nel quale stentavo a distinguere la vicina baita!

Antica città di Norba (Lt).
segni di vita, dell'esistenza di esseri umani. Segni di una conquista, una costruzione, di un altro tempo e di un'altra vita.
Segni che nessuno può cancellare... Segni che resistono, qui.
signs of life, of the existence of human beings. Signs of a conquest, a construction, of another time and of another life.
Signs that no one can erase ... Signs that resist here.
L'Antica Città di Norba sorge a poca distanza dalla moderna Norma. La sua visita è di particolare interesse per la monumentalità del poderoso circuito delle mura in opera poligonale e la suggestione delle bellezze naturalistiche. Le fonti antiche tramandano che Norba fu fondata all'inizio del V sec. a.C. per costituire una roccaforte nel territorio pontino: esigenza alla quale risponde in pieno il pianoro sul quale sorge la città, che si eleva a picco sulla pianura Pontina, che domina dall’alto.
Le stesse fonti antiche con incisività restituiscono la fine della città nell’81 a.C. Norba, che nella lotta tra Mario e Silla aveva abbracciato il partito mariano, dopo la conquista di Praeneste (Palestrina) fu presa per tradimento da Emilio Lepido luogotenente di Silla. Sappiamo dal drammatico raccolto di Appiano che, i suoi abitanti, piuttosto che cadere nelle mani del nemico, preferirono uccidersi l’un l’altro ed appiccare il fuoco alle loro case. Un vento forte favorì la diffusione delle fiamme e l’incendio fu tanto violento che le truppe di Silla non poterono ricavare alcun bottino.
