The majority of Mongolian people spend their lives travelling. So they need a portable dwelling. Ger is a circular dwelling made of wood and covered with fabric. It became the symbol of Central Asian nomadic life particularly in Mongolia.
This dwelling by the Klettjønna lake was the dwelling for the mine foreman at Storwartz. The foreman was in charge of all the workers at the mine.
The building was originally built as an office sometime around 1900 at Muggruva in the Nordgruvefeltet (the North Mine area). In 1938 it was moved to its present site where it was used as the foreman’s dwelling. The stables were built in 1939.
When production was stopped at Nye Storwartz, in 1953, the building was taken over as accommodation for the workers from the floatation plant. The building was in continuous use all the time there was work at the floatation plant until it closed 1972.

At the end .......the light
New editing for one of my favourite shot, a spectacular location to say the least. I was based very far from there but I went back to the pile-dwelling port in Carrasqueira three times to wait for the right day and light. During my first visit, the tide was too low and the port did not show all its charm, the second time the sky was totally cloudless and it did not show an interesting light.
My last visit I did it on the Saturday, just a few hours before I had to make my way back to Italy. It was literally my last chance, there were a lot of us trying to take the right pic, all armed with our reflex and filters, but strange enough, everybody lost interest in the port right after sunset and they all left. I just had a feeling that the distant city lights could give me something more, I patiently waited and I was rewarded with a shot that I absolutely love. This shot cost me a 15 hours car trip but eventually ... The Light.

Alla fine.....la luce.
Nuovo editing per una foto a cui sono molto affezionato, Location a dir poco spettacolare, La mia base era molto distante ma sono tornato tre volte al porto palafittico di Carrasqueira per cercare la giornata giusta fotograficamente parlando, nel primo tentativo la marea era bassissima e il porticciolo perdeva molto del suo fascino, la seconda volta invece un cielo totalmente privo di nuvole non ha regalato una luce interessante.
L'ultimo tentativo l'ho fatto il sabato, poche ore prima di partire per rientrare in Italia, era la classica ultima possibilità, eravamo veramente in tanti armati di reflex e filtri ma stranamente dopo il tramonto tutti si sono concentrati in altri punti del porticciolo o sono andati via e così intravedendo quello che le luci della città potevano regalare ho aspettato pazientemente e sono stato premiato da uno scatto che amo particolarmente, questo scatto mi è costato 15 ore di macchina ma alla fine ... la luce.

Springtime in Zion Canyon. Red rock, lush green vegetation. I've long been fascinated by the small dwelling at the base of the mountains. It's the kind of place where I'd like to hunker down and watch the seasons change over a year. I suspect there would be much to marvel at--and much to learn.

Mesa Verde National Park is in southwest Colorado. It's known for its well-preserved Ancestral Puebloan cliff dwellings. Mesa Top Loop Road winds past archaeological sites and overlooks, including Sun Point Overlook with panoramic canyon views. Petroglyph Point Trail has several rock carvings.

A fanciful piece...I digitally "carved" this earthen city out of a photograph I took of a mountain side in Cedar Breaks, Utah.
Wohnhaus in der Kiefernstraße in Düsseldorf
Die Kiefernstraße im Düsseldorfer Stadtteil Flingern-Süd ist eine Straße, die in den 1980er Jahren wegen Hausbesetzungen bekannt wurde. Mitte der 1980er Jahre wurde die Straße zudem in Verbindung mit der RAF gebracht. Heute leben die ehemaligen Hausbesetzer in regulären Mietverhältnissen.
Dwelling house in the pine street in Dusseldorf
Kiefernstrasse in Düsseldorf's Flingern-Süd district is a street that became known in the 1980s for squatting. In the mid-1980s, the street was also linked to the RAF. Today the former squatters live in regular leases.
Once considered Italy's equivalent of slums, they've been marginally gentrified today and are now relatively high-demand communities.
The Nubian ibex is a desert-dwelling goat species found in mountainous areas of northern and northeast Africa, and the Middle East. It was historically considered to be a subspecies of the Alpine ibex (C. ibex), but is now considered a distinct species. The wild population is estimated at 4,500 mature individuals, and it is classified as vulnerable. Males begin growing a beard at age 2 or 3, which continues to grow longer and darker as they age. During the autumn breeding season, mature males grow a "rutting fur" on their breast and sides which is very dark brown. Nubian ibex live in rough, dry, mountainous terrain, where they eat mainly grasses and leaves, especially from Acacia trees. (Wikipedia)

We were driving into the park when we saw something mysterious on the ridge. It turned out to be the horns of this magnificent animal. Slowly, the horns grew larger as he made his way up the back side of the ridge. At the top, he surveyed his kingdom and his family. Based on descriptions, he is likely a full adult male. Further down was a younger male and several females. What a treat :-)

Just around the corner. The two dwellings one can see in the photo are actually some distance apart, with a side street separating them.

The Orinoco Goose (Neochen jubata) is a fascinating tropical waterfowl species predominantly found in the Amazon and Orinoco river basins of South America.
Habitat & Terrestrial Lifestyle
Unlike most ducks and geese that spend their time swimming, the Orinoco goose is primarily a land-dwelling bird. It prefers to walk along forested riverbanks, large sandbars, and open wet savannas. They are rarely seen floating in open water or taking long flights outside of seasonal movements.
Specialized Nesting Habits
These birds are secondary cavity nesters. Instead of building nests on the ground like typical geese, they seek out hollow logs and large tree cavities elevated off the forest floor to raise their young. They often face fierce competition for these prime nesting hollows from large jungle parrots and owls.
Diet and Foraging
They are strictly diurnal herbivores that graze in small family groups or pairs.
Primary foods:
Short grasses, sedges, leaves, and seed heads.
Supplement:
They occasionally feed on aquatic algae, small worms, and larvae found along muddy shores.
Distinctive Behaviors & Communication
The species is monomorphic, meaning males and females have identical plumage. However, they can be easily told apart by their entirely different vocalizations:
Males:
Emit a soft, high-pitched whistling call.
Females:
Produce a loud, harsh cackling sound.
Conservation Status
Historically classified as Near Threatened due to agricultural land-use changes and hunting, the IUCN Red List downlisted the Orinoco goose to Least Concern. While wild populations are slowly decreasing, their numbers and range are larger and more stable than previously feared
Imagine you’re the one to discover these ancient dwellings in Southwest Colorado . . . Spruce Tree House is one of the largest cliff dwelling villages discovered at Mesa Verde, with 130 rooms and 8 kivas.

Virtual Insanity - Jamiroquai
Perhaps one of my earliest childhood memories, is my older brother playing this very song. It was many....many years later I heard this on the radio, bringing everything flooding back. I've been a massive JK fan ever since!
Dwelling on this song, the huge strides that have been made technologically since this song was released and in such a short time is actually quite staggering...mabye in the near future we'll all be living in virtual insanity.
