Petrognano è una frazione del Comune di Barberino Val d'Elsa, in provincia di Firenze.
Si tratta di un piccolo agglomerato di case lungo la strada che da Certaldo conduce a Barberino Val d'Elsa e alla pieve di Sant'Appiano.
Citato per la prima volta in una carta di Carlo Magno datata 774, le testimonianze sono ancora più antiche, essendo stati scavati in questa località reperti di epoca romana e paleocristiana.
Senza possibilità di errore si può individuare nell'odierno abitato di Petrognano il "Borgo" che era sorto immediatamente fuori le mura della città di Semifonte, distrutta dai Fiorentini nel 1202: in merito a tutto questo, infatti, ha assunto la denominazione Petrognano - Semifonte. Di questa epoca si conservano cospicue tracce, tra le quali avanzi di tre torri, nonché la chiesa di San Pietro, risalente agli inizi del XIII secolo e che in passato ha ospitato anche lo splendido Cristo detto di Petrognano o di San Donnino, oggi nel Museo di arte sacra di Certaldo.
Per approfondire, vedi Cappella di San Michele (Semifonte).
Proprio perché fuori dalle mura di Semifonte, il borgo sopravvisse alla furia distruttrice fiorentina, passando nel 1343 sotto la protezione della potente famiglia Capponi, esponenti della quale, in epoca rinascimentale, costruirono la splendida villa situata al centro dell'abitato, nonché la Cappella di San Michele arcangelo, poco distante: quest'ultima, fu eretta tra il 1594 e il 1597 per volontà di Giovan Battista di Neri Capponi con l'intento di ricordare la distrutta città.
Il borgo di Petrognano è costituito da un gruppo da un gruppo di abitazioni disposte intorno alla Villa Capponi; si tratta di case che mostrano elementi architettonici più da palazzo di città che da case coloniche. Questo perché le case di Petrognano altro non sono che ciò che rimane del Borgo di Città di Semifonte. Le case sono disposte lungo la strada presentano per la maggior parte torri medievali risalenti al XIII e al XIV secolo.

Desolation Wilderness, Ca.
Another great thing about being in the high Sierra is the darkness. This was shot from camp in Desolation Valley. With the sound of a waterfall to keep me company I sat in the darkness for 45 minutes shooting this.
This is a composite of 80 thirty second exposures. I stacked the shots together using this easy to use and free program called Startrails. You can download it here: www.startrails.de/html/software.html
Typically to get this effect I will take at least 30 minutes worth of exposures (30 - 2 minutes is a good length) and then one exposure for a foreground if I want to light paint or something then one exposure with the lens cap on (for averaging the blackness in the program). All of that is with the same settings. Then I throw it into the program and viola - a few seconds later I have this!
The great thing about stacking star shots is no noise. The bad thing (if you consider it bad) is you have to sit there and press the shutter every 30 seconds (or however long you choose your exposures). But when you get to lay back and watch shooting stars it's an easy payoff.
Just a little side note - it's always fascinating to see the different colors in each star. When you look at the night sky with the naked eye all the stars look white.

Burnham-on-Sea's much photographed lighthouse on a lovely, but windy, autumn day. There were actually quite a few people out walking, but the ND110 took care of that.
I have been out here once before, but got such horrid pictures that they have never graced Flickr!

This inclement weather view of Demondrille shows the current desolate state of what was once a busy railway junction.
To the right is the line to Cowra and Blayney, which itself boasted 2 further branch lines. Today the line is out of use, with significant community pressure to restore this link which has been dormant for over 10 years.
The signal box has also seen no use for a similar period of time, since CTC signalling was introduced over 10 years ago over the entire Main South Line by ARTC.
6029 is running an empty carriage transfer to Goulburn from Junee as 6S70.

Desolate landscape in the Norris Geyser Basin, Yellowstone National Park. Yes, it was snowing.
Photo taken with Nikon 1 J3 and the 18.5mm lens.
Desolation:
A state of complete emptiness or destruction: the stony desolation of the desert.
This photo was taken by an Asahi Pentax 6 X 7 medium format film camera and Super-Multi-Coated Takumar/6X7 1:4.5/75mm lens with a Pentax 67 82ø Y48(Y2) SMC filter using Fuji Neopan Acros 100 film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
WEEK 32.3 – Sports Authority Southaven, 7-21-16
I thought this pic did a good job of conveying the complete desolation across the salesfloor. I liked the (oxymoronic) cluttered emptiness.
Re: the 31 stores whose leases Dick's assumed. Since the industry itself isn't doing too hot, and most Sports Authorities were within five to ten miles of a Dick's (including this one), they reportedly only chose sites that allowed them to organically expand into areas where they don't currently have a presence. You can check out the (non-finalized) list of stores and buyers in this PDF.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
Nice canyon: colorful, twisty but not too twisty, with lizards to keep us company and a kickass view from a scramble at the end.
(map location is "close enough")
