The island of Evia lies along the Eastern coast of Central Greece, and is accessible to the mainland via two bridges, an old wooden bridge and a contemporary suspension bridge. There are also frequent ferries to several parts of the island. It is 175 km long and is the second largest island in Greece, and the third largest in the Eastern Mediterranean.

I enjoy nature photography the most, since I love the outdoors and long hiking trips. Macro photography is a true passion for me, since I get to watch a miniature world that opens without limits, before the camera makes the funny sound.
Graphic design is another way to express myself. I love reinventing a photo that I have seen in different ways. Sometimes, I use my own textures to do so.

La gazza ladra, The Thieving Magpie, is a melodramma or opera semiseria in two acts by the Italian composer Gioachino Rossini, with a libretto by Giovanni Gherardini based on La pie voleuse by Théodore Baudouin d'Aubigny and Louis-Charles Caigniez.
According to legend, before the first performance of the opera, the producer assured the composition of the overture by locking Rossini in a room, from the window of which the composer threw out the sheets of music to the copyists who then wrote the orchestral parts, to complete the composition of the opera.
As such, The Gazza Ladra is best known for the ouverture, which is musically notable for the use of snare drums. Stanley Kubrick has taken the overture to achieve bizarre and dramatic effects in "'A Clockwork Orange". This memorable section in Rossini's overture evokes the image of the opera's main subject: a devilishly clever, thieving magpie.

Tōshō-gū is dedicated to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate. It was initially built in 1617, during the Edo period, while Ieyasu's son Hidetada was shōgun. It was enlarged during the time of the third shōgun, Iemitsu. Ieyasu is enshrined there, where his remains are also entombed. This shrine was built by Tokugawa retainer Tōdō Takatora.
The shrine is an UNESCO world heritage site.

Twenty children and eight adults died, killed by a young man who shot his mother before the event and himself after it. The mother was a gun fanatic with a collection of guns she much prized but never showed to any of her friends. She trained her son to shoot, using guns from her collection. The son used the guns to kill all--his mother, himself, the 20 children and six other adults at the school where he shot them and himself. American law allows the possession of guns based on a misreading of the Second Ammendment to the Constitution. The National Rifle Association (NRA), which claims to protect the rights of Americans, fosters this "right to own guns" even as it makes money off of its political stance and from the gun industry. No one in the government, neither presidents, congress, or the Supreme Court has seriously attempted to change this situation. It is so incredible that in the state of Arizona, to use one example, one has the right to bring a gun to school or into a bar, even if you are drunk. WHEN WILL THIS END?

This photo dedicated to Molly who I enjoyed a Flickr relationship with for a couple of years until she disappeared. She turned me on to thrift shopping and making mods to cute skirts. (Molly: if you're out there, please send me a Flickrmail!!)
I recently bought these cute classic style Mary Jane flats and grey pleated mini. I thought it would be great to make a complete outfit by adding my black leotard and lavender opaque tights. So cute!! I will be thinking of where I might go dressed like this…
Dedicated to Saint Peter, the abbey church of Champagne is not located, as one would think, in the bubbly-producing hills of northeastern France, but much further south, on the banks of River Rhône, between Lyon and Valence, in the northern part of the département of Ardèche, i.e., in the old province of Vivarais.
Stylistically, this large church, built right next to the busy and noisy thoroughfare that Highway 86 is today, is very homogeneous and was built around 1150, replacing an older, 11th century church of which two capitals have been re-used in the nave. Numerous sculpted fragments from the previous church were also gathered as demolition progressed and reinserted haphazardly in the new one. But built by whom exactly, and for what exact purpose? That is much more mysterious.
From the scant written evidence that has come to us, we can surmise that it was originally built by the Albon family of powerful local lords, probably for regular canons of one or the other obedience. In 1275, it has become a priory of the Benedictine abbey of Saint-Chef. In 1172, the canons of the chapter of the Saint Maurice Cathedral in Vienne had given a number of churches to the abbey of Saint-Chef, but the charter doesn’t specify which ones. If we are right in thinking that the Champagne church was originally owned by canons, it is possible that those canons were the ones from the Vienne chapter, and if so, the Champagne church may have been among those turned over to the abbey in 1172. The deal would have been facilitated by the fact that, from 1119, the archbishop of Vienne was also the protector of the abbey of Saint-Chef. Furthermore, it has been noted (in particular in my Zodiaque collection reference book, Vivarais et Gévaudan romans, by Robert Saint-Jean) that the Champagne church offers many similarities with the abbey church of Saint-Chef, in a more accomplished version, as the former came half a century after the latter.
The link between Saint-Chef and Champagne, however, did not last. Because of deep and enduring management problems at Saint-Chef where the monks could not elect a new abbot, the archbishop of Vienne was first appointed as abbot ad perpetuitam by a papal Bull of John XXII in 1320. A second Bull, in 1328, took away from the abbey the Saint Peter Priory, under the pretext that its income was not sufficient to support the prior and his monks. The church then became a simple parish church. However, let’s not forget that, at the time, the Rhône River was the border between the kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire: the archbishop of Vienne had his seat on the left bank, on the Empire side, while the Saint Peter Priory was on the right bank, on the kingdom side; the archbishop may have wanted to be able to take refuge in France in the event things went sour on the Empire side... which would explain why the priory compound was indeed fortified at the same time!
Seriously damaged during the Wars of Religion in the 1560s, the church undertook important repairs during the early 1600s: it is then the the three cupolas on squinches roofing the nave were put in place in lieu of the previous Romanesque barrel vault. The church, much too big for such a small village, continued to degrade over the decades. By 1750, the upper floors of the tower-porch that framed the western entrance were in ruin, and one century later, what was left of that tower-porch was razed to allow for the enlargement of what was then the royal road number 86. This veritable act of vandalism prompted the authorities to protect the monument in 1854 by listing it as a Historic Landmark.
A systematic restoration took place between 1888 and 1894, during which (it is a rare enough occurrence to be duly noted and lauded!) all the add-ons erected after the end of the Romanesque period were eliminated. The original church was saved. In 1968, three regular Augustinian canons from a Swiss convent came and settled in Champagne, reviving the Saint Victor offshoot of the Augustinians which had been dead since the French Revolution. They proved extremely successful and in 1976, Pope Paul VI elevated the priory to abbey status. Today, the church is both canonical and parochial.
However, the very exceptional characteristic of this abbey is that, because the original monastery buildings had been destroyed after the French Revolution and replaced by ordinary village houses, the Augustinians had to build anew where there was space available, i.e., a couple hundred meters away from the church...! Thus, there is no proper enclosure, the canons live in the middle of the village, and walk across it to go attend to their duties. This is much too in sæculum for my taste, and not a proper way to practice the life of a so-called “regular” canon. I understand the appeal that the church may have had, but my opinion is that, owing to the present-day configuration of the village, it should have been deemed unsuitable. Likewise, the liturgy of this congregation does not truly meet with my approval, the same way “reality TV” doesn’t: a floor-heated church, cleverly designed lighting everywhere, a discreet and elaborate sound system... quite a bit too Hollywoodian for me. But obviously, just like reality TV, it does have its appeal.
The choir and the ambulatory. This is where the most elaborate capitals are. Their inspiration is, obviously, Corinthian; none of them is historied.
The emblazoned armchair is where the Father Abbot sits to preside over the assembly during the ceremonies he attends.
Dedicated to my contact Kirsten Storm. She reminds me with one of her first uploaded photos delightful on this dreamy windmill. Thank you for sharing, Kirsten!
The Windmill "Charlotte" stands at the entrance to the 773-acre conservation area "Geltinger Birk" in Schleswig-Holstein (North Germany, Baltic Sea). The Mill was built in 1824 originally to carry the water into the Geltinger bay. Today it is in privately owned.
The photo was taken during a holiday in 1989 with my Olympus SLR
