De herinnering
”Ik doofde het licht in februari 1998. De vaargeulen en havenmond waren aangepast waardoor de vuurtoren na 75 jaar zijn functie verloor. Maar al veel langer scheen er licht van deze plek. Vanaf halverwege de 18e eeuw knetterden hier vuren, sisten acetyleen gaslichten en schitterde het optiek dat nu beneden in het trappenhuis staat. Want de vele torens die Harlingen heeft gekend, werden steeds op dezelfde plaats herbouwd. Eeuwenlang is door zeelui naar deze plek gekeken. Nu zijn de rollen prachtig omgedraaid: het baken is een uitkijkpunt geworden.”
Piet Beuker, vuurtorenwachter van 1970-1998

American Avocet chicks are the cutest little critters. All legs and a puff of feathers. I was fortunate to spend some time with them in a park in down town Denver Colorado.
My first abstract... although some have said that all my work is abstract! :-(
This, for the uninitiated, is a corn field. The dark strips are soil and the light strips are plastic sheeting. Whither, wherefore nor why, I cannot answer because I only eat it and that is the sum total of my understanding of this agricultural activity. Please, don't post explanations because I really don't want to know any more than I need to. I know this much just by looking at the field... any more information would be wasted on me. :-)

Martonvásár, back of Brunszvik Mansion.
Built from 1773 to 1775, the baroque mansion was reconstructed in the early 1870's in neo-gothic style.The earliest record of Martonvásár appears in some charters in 1270. After the Turkish occupation, the Brunszvik family became owners of the settlement, built their mansion here and established a booming economy. The landscaped parkland around their mansion is still among the most beautiful in Hungary.
Outstanding cultural memories are attached to the Martonvásár mansion, the Beethoven Memorial Museum, and its surrounding park. In the early years of the 19th century Ludwig van Beethoven visited Martonvásár on a number of occasions due to his friendship with the music-loving Brunszvik family, who owned the estate. A number of his works, including the Appassionata Sonata, were dedicated to members of the family, who were inspired interpreters of his music. The Beethoven concerts held in the park since 1958, generally on three occasions each summer, are now a national event. The home of these concerts is an open-air theatre on an island in the lake. Talented musicians from Hungary and abroad are accompanied at these memorable concerts by the National Philharmonic Orchestra.
The sonata, which Beethoven dedicated to Theresa Brunszvik:

Morris Arboretum celebrated traditional and modern Korean culture with music and dance performances, food tastings, and hands-on activities. Arboretum Guides led an exploration of the Korean plants of the Arboretum’s 92-acre botanical collection.
Attendees enjoyed Korean music performed by three University of Pennsylvania students groups: PennDure, a traditional drum ensemble; Penn Sori, an a capella group; and Klass, a rap group who focus on a song’s melody and message for a sound more K pop than hip hop. Visitors to the garden also sampled Korean food favorites from local vendors, and made origami hanboks (traditional Korean costumes) with help from the University of Pennsylvania’s Korean Student Association.

When I'm sitting all alone in my room
Everything reminds me of you ..
The time is slow and I am sinking
Into a hole blackened with lies ..
And though I made it myself
You stand watching as my life passes me by ..
I'm standing before you ..
With this label on my head ..
I'm pleading before you ..
For you to understand ..
How much I adore you ..
I'll be there til the end ..
When everything falls down ..
Will you hold my hand?!!!! ..

Une autre rose de mon jardin. Malheureusement, je n'ai pas gardé le nom du rosier quand je l'ai acheté ...
This is another shot of a fancy hibiscus I photographed outside a resort in Ka'anapali! The colors were too bright and beautiful to ignore, so I thought that I would share them with you. the photo was taken in March 2012, with my trusty Olympus digital camera. Enjoy.

Baracoa is a municipality and city in Guantánamo Province near the eastern tip of Cuba. It was founded by the first governor of Cuba, the Spanish conquistador Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar in August 15 of 1511. It is the oldest Spanish settlement in Cuba and was its first capital (the basis for its nickname Ciudad Primada, "First City").
Baracoa is located on the spot where Christopher Columbus landed in Cuba on his first voyage. It is thought that the name stems from the indigenous Arauaca language word meaning "the presence of the sea."
Baracoa lies on the Bay of Honey (Bahía de Miel) and is surrounded by a wide mountain range (including the Sierra del Purial), which causes it to be quite isolated, apart from a single mountain road built in the 1960s.
The original inhabitants of the island were Taíno. They were eradicated by the Spanish all over Cuba except here and this is the only place where descendants still live. A local hero is Hatuey, who fled from the Spanish in Hispaniola and raised a Taíno army to fight the Spanish in Cuba. According to the story Hatuey was betrayed by a member of his group and sentenced to burn at the stake. It is said that just before he died a Catholic priest tried to convert him so he would attain salvation; Hatuey asked the priest if Heaven was the place where the dead Spanish go. When he received an answer in the affirmative he told the priest that he'd rather go to Hell.
On October 12, 1492, Christopher Columbus landed in Cuba in a place he named Porto Santo. It is generally assumed from his description that this was Baracoa, although there are also claims it was Gibara. But Columbus also described a nearby table mountain, which is almost certainly nearby El Yunque. He wrote in his logbook ... the most beautiful place in the world ...I heard the birds sing that they will never ever leave this place....
The remote location at the eastern end of the Cuban island has kept the influence of mass tourism quite low, despite the idyllic location. Baracoa can be reached by bus from Santiago de Cuba (4 hours) or by plane from Havana (2 hours).

It took us some time to reach the outpost of Baracoa that is located in the far east of Cuba. It's a different world than rest of the island: less crowded, vibrant, with tropical forest and magnificent scenery around. Maybe not that attractive at the first sight, however far much more magical after a deeper exploration.
Yumurí Canyon is a lush, tropical gorge and an unexpectedly impressive sight to say the least, with walls at points measuring nearly 200 m from the canyon floor. Its eponymous river, dotted with deep natural swimming pools, is neither deep nor particularly fast flowing, making it ideal for exploring the near-complete seclusion of eastern Cuba either via rowboat or on foot.
