Safe and dry on my front porch, Madonna and I watched the hail hammer down, and the world transform from green to white. It was so insane that we enjoyed it... sort of. We both remember the giant hail of 2018 that destroyed every roof and every car in the village - except mine, because I was 125km away at the time, sitting in a dentist's chair. I did sustain approximately $10,000 damage to my roof from that event, though. Not fun.
Fortunately, this was small hail, so no damage. But we were a little concerned at the peak of the downpour that we might get hit with larger hailstones. Luckily, that didn't happen.
I like the ambiguity here: Mado dry and calm against a background of chaos, and the lighting - she appears superimposed on the background, which I guess she was. I cropped out a bit of porch railing as well as grass and sidewalk to remove her from immediate context. She appears to be waggling a thumb at me, but in reality she didn't hear me open the front door behind her - that hail was loud!
From time to time we saw people running down the street; I am foreshadowing tomorrow's (final) shot. It seemed to go on forever, but checking my RAW data from the shots I made, I see that it lasted only 6 or 7 minutes. It's amazing how our perception of time gets distorted when regular real life warps and we suddenly feel vulnerable. I know how lucky we are. Hail is just a routine - although uncommon - weather event. Some people in other parts of the world have to deal with bombs.

Conrail ALNS was thundering through Temple on the Reading Lines in 1994.
A Conrail B36-7 and a SD50 had a Norfolk Southern SD40-2 and a U23B helping out; in 1999 Norfolk Southern would take over this trackage in the carving up of Conrail with CSX.
The sun rises over the eastern crest of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. A storm system snows on the ridge line and buries the tallest peaks, such as Lone Pine Peak (12,949') and the apex, Mount Whitney (14,508'). Mount Whitney would be visible above the valley just to the left of the road that leads up to Whitney Portal. In the foreground huge granite boulders foreshadow the towering rock piles of the Alabama Hills just behind the photographer. To the east clouds filter the sun's light into a narrow band that slices across the range.
Today marks the last day these two railroads operate under their own name. Once the clock strikes midnight, the Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern will operate under the new railroad Canadian Pacific Kansas City following the approval of the merger from the STB earlier this month. This picture was taken before the merger was ever proposed, which would later be a foreshadowing image.
Pulled down to the River near Solon Springs to catch A404 with a pair of General Electric Dash 8 cowls when heading down the long and winding road to Beecherfest. Felt good to bag a few trains out of the Twin Ports when heading south out of town until my phone said I still had 365 miles to Beecherfest from here! Who knew Wisconsin was such a long state to travel diagonally?
The November dusting of snow is foreshadowing a long winter here in the northwoods of Wisconsin. Going to try to do some more Superior Sub. shooting when/if things green up, up here this summer.
LA VENEZIA DEI VENEZIANI.
Corte Seconda de Cà Barbo.
Vennero nei primi tempi da Parma, uomini nobili e valorosi, e si chiamavano Barbolani; fino a ché un Pietro Barbolani essendo delli 41 Elettori del Doge Pietro Ziani il 1203, non si sa per qual causa, si fece chiamar Barbo. Da questa illustre famiglia è uscito il Pontefice Paolo II il 1464, e dura detta famiglia al dì d’oggi. (1)
(2) Libro dei Nobili Veneti ora per la prima volta messo in luce.
--------------------------------------------------
Celebre collegamento con la famiglia Barbo è la vicenda del "Fornaretto di Venezia" Piero Fasiol :
Popolare nella storia di Venezia è anche oggi la vicenda di Piero Fasiol, il "Fornaretto di Venezia", che fu giustiziato per errore. Piero Faccioli lavorava come garzone nella bottega del padre, un forno in Calle de la Mandola. Alle prime luci dell’alba, ai primi di Marzo del 1507, il giovane scendendo i gradini del ponte “dei assassini”, allora in legno (oggi demolito per l’interramento del canale), si accorge di un oggetto per terra. Piero, raccoglie l’oggetto che sembra d’argento: è il fodero di un pugnale. L’uomo contento della fortuna capitata, vuole mostrare il suo “tesoro” alla sua ragazza, Annella, che lavora come domestica nella vicina Cà Barbo. Passato il Sotoportego Barbo (oggi Balbi o Morosini) fa cenno alla ragazza di raggiungerlo e le grida: “Guarda - alzando l’oggetto - vendendo questo fodero non avremo più pensieri e potremo pagarci le nozze”. Ma la ragazza spaventata gli dice: “Vai via, torna veloce dove l’hai preso – gli intima, presagendo forse qualcosa di brutto – e lascialo sul posto dove l’hai trovato, casomai qualcuno lo cercasse”. Piero ci pensa e decide di fare quello che gli ha suggerito Annella. Così ritorna sui suoi passi ma in lontananza, nell’angolo buio fra Calle de la Verona e il ponte, scorge una massa scura: una persona distesa. Pensa “un ubriaco”, quindi si china per sincerarsi che l’uomo non abbia qualche problema più grave. Lo scuote e con stupore si rende conto che è morto. Piero toccando lo sfortunato, si macchia i vestiti bianchi di sangue e osservando meglio il volto della persona lo riconosce, è Alvise Guoro, giovane cugino e frequentatore assiduo di Clemenza Barbo, moglie di Lorenzo e padrona di Annella. Intanto si sta facendo giorno, la luce si fa sempre più intensa, Nineta apre la finestra di casa sua, sul rio, nello stesso momento in cui il falegname sta arrivando nella sua bottega in calle. Entrambi si rendono conto che per terra c’è un morto, e vedendo il Fornaretto imbrattato di sangue e col fodero del pugnale ancora in mano, lo credono l’assassino ma riconoscendolo, pensano di aiutarlo: “Scappa e nasconditi – gli fa lei – scappa da tua morosa!” “Sì – gli fa eco l’uomo – chiedi aiuto a Barbo, lui che fa parte del Consiglio dei Dieci. Solo lui può salvarti dalla forca!”. Piero non sa cosa fare e le guardie poco dopo arrivano sul posto e lo arrestano. Si istruisce un processo e il Fornaretto riconosciuto colpevole viene condannato ad essere decapitato e squartato . La mattina del 22 Marzo tutto è pronto per l’esecuzione, tra le due colonne di S.Marco e S.Todaro. Il boia aspetta il cenno del capo del Consiglio dei Dieci per calare la mannaia sul collo del giovane. Nello stesso momento da Calle De La Verona, un servo dei Barbo, corre verso San Marco cercando di fermare l’esecuzione. Lungo la strada urla l’innocenza del Fornaretto: Barbo ha confessato alla moglie l’omicidio del parente. Il servo non arriva in tempo per annunciare la notizia: mentre gridando cerca di farsi strada tra la folla. Il boia assesta il colpo; uno dei Dieci pronuncia la formula rituale: “Giustizia è fatta!”. Ma la voce che Piero è innocente si diffonde con la velocità del fulmine. Il giorno seguente il doge convoca i giudici, e lancia loro un monito che verrà ripetuto per tre secoli nelle aule giudiziarie veneziane. Nel corso di processi che possano condurre ad una possibile condanna a morte si diceva questa frase: “…e ricordéve del pòvaro fornareto”.

Famous link with the Barbo family is the story of the "Fornaretto di Venezia" Piero Fasiol:
People in the history of Venice today is also the story of Piero Fasiol , the " Fornaretto Venice ", which was executed by mistake. Faccioli Piero worked as an apprentice in his father's shop , a bakery on Calle de la Mandola . At dawn , in early March 1507, the young man down the steps of the bridge " the murderers" , then wood (now demolished to the silting of the channel) , it discovers an object on the ground. Piero , collects the object that looks silver is the sheath of a dagger. The man happy fortune happened , he wants to show his "treasure" to his girlfriend , Annella , who works as a maid in the nearby Ca Barbo . Past Sotoportego Barbo ( today Balbi Morosini ) beckons the girl to join him and shouts , "Look - raising the subject - we will no longer selling this sheath thoughts and we will pay us the wedding ." But the frightened girl tells him: " Go away , go back where you got it fast - the intimate, perhaps foreshadowing something bad - and leave it on the spot where you found it , just in case someone tried ." Piero thinks and decides to do what he suggested Annella . So retraces his steps but in the distance , in the dark corner between Calle de la Verona and the bridge , he sees a dark mass : a person lying down. Think of a " drunk " and then bends over to make sure that the man has some more serious problem . The shakes and amazement he realizes that he is dead. Piero touching the unfortunate stain white clothes with blood and observing the best face of the person recognizes him , is Alvise Guoro young cousin and frequent visitor to Clemenza Barbo , wife of Lorenzo and mistress of Annella . Meanwhile, you're doing a day, the light becomes more and more intense , Nineta opens his house on the canal , at the same time when the carpenter is coming in his shop in the street . Both realize that the ground is a dead man , and seeing the Fornaretto smeared with blood and with the sheath of the dagger still in hand, I believe the murderess but recognizing him , to help him think , "Run and hide - makes her - escapes from your girlfriend ! " " Yes - echoes the man - ask for help to Barbo , he is part of the Council of Ten . Only he can save you from the gallows . " Piero did not know what to do and the guards shortly after arriving on the spot and arrested him . It teaches a process and the Fornaretto convicted is sentenced to be beheaded and quartered . On the morning of March 22 everything is ready for execution, between the two columns of San Marco and S.Todaro . The Executioner waiting for the nod of the Council of Ten to drop the ax on the neck of the young man . At the same time from Calle De La Verona, a servant of Barbo , running towards St. Mark's trying to stop the execution . Along the way, screams the innocence of Fornaretto : Barbo has confessed to the murder of the wife relative. The servant did not arrive in time to announce the news: while shouting trying to make his way through the crowd. The Executioner settles the strike , one of the Ten pronounce the ritual formula : " Justice is done ." But the voice that Peter is innocent spreads with the speed of lightning. The next day the Doge convene the judges, and throws them a warning that will be repeated for three centuries in the courtroom blinds. In the course of processes that can lead to a possible death sentence was said this sentence: "... and the ricordéve pòvaro fornareto ."

This owl is in the middle of what I call a feather ruffle, a Shorty routine that, in my experience, foreshadows takeoff, as it did in this case.
Epha's Height
The history of the name "Eph Height"
In the 19th century, the Petsch dune (Orekhovaya) was rapidly moving towards the Curonian Lagoon and foreshadowed a "sand catastrophe" that would lead to the filling of the houses of the village of Pillkoppen (now Morskoe) with sand.
In the fight against the "sand catastrophe", many people worked on fixing nomadic dunes (moving sands), but the main role in this difficult struggle was played by the German forester Wilhelm Franz Efa - it was he who introduced the successful method of fixing dunes.
Since 1864, Franz Efa was the royal dune inspector for reforestation and simultaneously served as the manager of the Kranz resort (now the resort city of Zelenogradsk).
To fix the high dunes, Efa proposed a new method: pine seedlings with a lump of earth were planted in low rectangular cages made of brushwood or reeds. Later, instead of ordinary pine, he began to widely use mountain pine seedlings.
Large-scale work on fixing the Pest dune ended in 1891 and saved 18 houses of the village of Pillkoppen from falling asleep with sand.
In gratitude, the residents of the village named one of the peaks of the Pest dune (62-meter) - the height of Efa, and the inspector himself received the honorary title "winner of nomadic dunes".
After that, Efa secured other dunes of the peninsula. He worked until his old age, retired a year before his death. He was buried in 1904 in the village of Rossitten (now the village of Rybachy of the Curonian Spit).
La catedral de la Intercesión de la Virgen junto al foso (en ruso Собор Покрова Пресвятой Богородицы, что на Рву, Sobor Pokrová Presvyatoy Bogoróditsy, chto na Rvu), más conocida como Catedral de San Basilio, es un templo ortodoxo localizado en la Plaza Roja de la ciudad de Moscú, Rusia. Es mundialmente famosa por sus cúpulas en forma de bulbo. A pesar de lo que se suele pensar popularmente, la Catedral de San Basilio no es ni la sede del Patriarca Ortodoxo de Moscú, ni la catedral principal de la capital rusa, pues en ambos casos es la Catedral de Cristo Salvador. Como parte de la Plaza Roja, la catedral de San Basilio fue incluida desde 1990, junto con el conjunto del Kremlin, en la lista de Patrimonio de la Humanidad de Unesco.
La construcción de la catedral fue ordenada por el zar Iván el Terrible para conmemorar la conquista del Kanato de Kazán, y se realizó entre 1555 y 1561. En 1588, el zar Teodoro I de Rusia mandó que se agregara una nueva capilla en el lado este de la construcción, sobre la tumba de San Basilio el Bendito, santo por el cual se empezó a llamar popularmente la catedral.
San Basilio se encuentra en el extremo sureste de la Plaza Roja, justo frente a la Torre Spásskaya (la Torre del Salvador) del Kremlin y la iglesia de San Juan Bautista en Dyákovo.
El concepto inicial era construir un grupo de capillas, dedicadas a cada uno de los santos en cuyo día el zar ganó una batalla, pero la construcción de una torre central unifica estos espacios en una sola catedral.
La leyenda dice que el zar Iván dejó ciego al arquitecto Póstnik Yákovlev para evitar que proyectara una construcción que pudiera superar a esta, aunque parece claro que no se trata más que de una fabulación, ya que Yákovlev participó, pasados unos años, en la construcción del Kremlin de Kazán.
La catedral de San Basilio no debe confundirse con el Kremlin de Moscú, que está situado a su lado en la Plaza Roja, y por tanto no forma parte de él. Aun así, muchos medios confunden ambas construcciones.

The Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed (Russian: Собор Василия Блаженного, Sobor Vasiliya Blazhennogo), commonly known as Saint Basil's Cathedral, is a church in Red Square in Moscow, Russia. The building, now a museum, is officially known as the Cathedral of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos on the Moat (Собор Покрова Пресвятой Богородицы, что на Рву, Sobor Pokrova Presvyatoy Bogoroditsy, chto na Rvu) or Pokrovsky Cathedral (Покровский собор). It was built from 1555–1561 on orders from Ivan the Terrible and commemorates the capture of Kazan and Astrakhan. It was the city's tallest building until the completion of the Ivan the Great Bell Tower in 1600.
The building is shaped like the flame of a bonfire rising into the sky, a design that has no parallel in Russian architecture. Dmitry Shvidkovsky, in his book Russian Architecture and the West, states that "it is like no other Russian building. Nothing similar can be found in the entire millennium of Byzantine tradition from the fifth to the fifteenth century ... a strangeness that astonishes by its unexpectedness, complexity and dazzling interleaving of the manifold details of its design." The cathedral foreshadowed the climax of Russian national architecture in the 17th century. The Guardian compared building with "garish chunk of Disneyland architecture" and "a clown's nose on the face of the evil empire".
A series on semi-candid portraits taken at Pirate Festival in las Vegas this Spring. I'm fascinated by Steampunk. I loved reading Jules Verne as a pre teenager, and am also a huge fan of Bill Gibson's work, cyberpunk and steampunk. I love the ingenuity of finding different ways to solve modern technical challenges, whether it is steampunk, or Harry Harrison's West of Eden books that in many ways foreshadowed modern genetic engineering

It's amazing how often the comments I receive on the photos I post seem to lead me directly to photos further down the line. This one for instance was foreshadowed by two comments. One warning Daisy to be careful with her nylons on that rough wood....and another wondering if Daisy always knows instinctively how to sit and pose with her "dignity" intact.
Here you see Daisy checking with concern after slightly snagging her nylons on that bench....and simultaneously proving that she isn't always 100% infallible in the dignity department. 😜❤️️
But that's OK....I'll stipulate to the fact that she was caught by surprise...and also not really used to wearing a skirt quite this short.
I suppose we can cut her some slack this time, eh? 😘
The I&M Rail Link (reporting mark IMRL) commenced operations on April 5, 1997, acquiring lines from the Canadian Pacific Railway and Soo Line Railroad.
Montana Rail Link SD40-2 218 must have been an advance spy as it sat in the Quad City's Nahant yard in 1996. The Soo Line SD60s in the background would soon disappear from the Quads as the IMRL took over.
Quite a neat consist for this unit train on the Paynesville Sub. CP 577 heads west through the curve at Brooten with a pair of KCSM belles sandwiching a beaver. The train would make a brief stop in Glenwood for a crew change before continuing on to the Detroit Lakes Sub. Should I make the obligatory foreshadowing comment? No, it can wait.
Animal Kingdom is quickly becoming my favorite park to photograph in WDW due to the incredible detail throughout most of the park. These warning signs are plastered all over the entrance to Expedition Everest and provide great foreshadowing for guests ready for the adventure!

Big Boy 4018 has arrived in Rawlins Yard with UP Train PCYRW1 04. UP originally planned to call these locomotives the Wasatch type, for the mountains they were built to traverse. Scrawled on the smokebox is the nickname they were affectionately given before the first one was completed, by an ALCO worker at the factory in Schenectady, NY in 1941. Part of the graffiti included a "V" for victory, foreshadowing the United States' imminent entry into World War II; a war these 25 engines helped win.

Long drives and early mornings were well worth our efforts as we caught out first glimpse of the Deseret Power Railway. This oft-forgotten conveyor belt of a railroad has been a bucket list item for the last few years, being the last holdout for true electrified freight operations in the US. I didn't think I'd be able to get out here for ages, but some last minute plans made this into a reality! The closure or de-electrification of similar railroads has turned the Deseret Power into a sort of mecca for fans of American rail electrification.
We'd waited for hours up on this ridge after confirming the railroad was operating that day, but the wait had been long and fraught with cloud and light-based concerns. Based on the info we had, it appeared that they were running late, which was definitely a worry. When I finally heard the distant chime of DPR 1s P5, I breathed a heavy sigh of relief. We hadn't done all this for nothing after all. Of course, that relief was immediately replaced by adrenaline and nerves - we would have very few photo opportunities this trip, so there was no margin for error here!
Just south of Dinosaur, CO, the trio of Deseret E60C-2s came sailing through one of the few grade crossings on the 35 mile rail line. The look and sound of these things is so different compared to anything I'm used to shooting, it was really incredible to be able to finally experience it for myself. There is something so strange, but so right about the look of these old E60s. I just love them.
Deseret is also an incredibly remote railroad - so remote it doesn't actually connect to any other railroad, anywhere! Despite the remoteness, we were definitely more bold on this trip than any other I'd been on. Then again, back where I'm from in Illinois, you don't really get terrain like this, so there's no real opportunity to get climbing... but we had that opportunity there, so we happily took it!
Shooting Deseret presented us with many challenges, but we weathered them and did our damnedest. Once the E60s and their 45 car coal train had passed us by, we were all in agreement that even if we got screwed the rest of the day, we were still very happy. We didn't know that it was foreshadowing some events, but we still made it work. At any rate, a view like this - is there a better introduction to the sights and sounds of Deseret than this? It seems the lateness of the train also made our light here that much better, which we weren't going to complain about.
Now it was time to prepare for our next shots once they finished unloading their coal at the power plant. If we had known the struggle that would be... Well, the day was far from over, suffice to say.
The Cathedral of the Protection of Most Holy Theotokos on the Moat (Russian: Собор Покрова пресвятой Богородицы, что на Рву), popularly known as Saint Basil's Cathedral (Russian: Собор Василия Блаженного), is a Russian Orthodox church erected on the Red Square in Moscow in 1555–61. Built on the order of Ivan the Terrible to commemorate the capture of Kazan and Astrakhan, it marks the geometric center of the city and the hub of its growth since the 14th century.[4][5] It was the tallest building in Moscow until the completion of the Ivan the Great Bell Tower in 1600.[6]
The original building, known as "Trinity Church" and later "Trinity Cathedral", contained eight side churches arranged around the ninth, central church of Intercession; the tenth church was erected in 1588 over the grave of venerated local saint Vasily (Basil). In the 16th and the 17th centuries the church, perceived as the earthly symbol of the Heavenly City,[7] was popularly known as the "Jerusalem" and served as an allegory of the Jerusalem Temple in the annual Palm Sunday parade attended by the Patriarch of Moscow and the tsar.[8]
The building's design, shaped as a flame of a bonfire rising into the sky,[9] has no analogues in Russian architecture: "It is like no other Russian building. Nothing similar can be found in the entire millennium of Byzantine tradition from the fifth to fifteenth century ... a strangeness that astonishes by its unexpectedness, complexity and dazzling interleaving of the manifold details of its design."[10] The cathedral foreshadowed the climax of Russian national architecture in the 17th century.[11]
A victim of state atheism, the church was stolen from the Russian Orthodox community as part of the Soviet Unions anti-theist campaigns and has operated as a division of the State Historical Museum since 1928.[12] It was completely and forcefully secularized in 1929[12] and, as of 2011, remains a federal property of the Russian Federation. The church has been part of the Moscow Kremlin and Red Square UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1990.[13]
It is often mislabelled as the Kremlin owing to its location on Red Square in immediate proximity of the Kremlin.[14]
The upcoming changes are foreshadowed in 411's consist, as CP and KCS GEs bring Winnipeg to Alyth manifest traffic through Indus.
This is a wonderful too tight to creep passage. Such passages are known as creeps, they are many that are unfeasibly small. They raise many questions, were the old open ways closed in when new religious and ceremonial changes occurred? Tombs like this throughout Europe were erected and revered and then closed off as new ways took over. These new monumental ways could be friendly reworking of old ways, invading new dramatic changes and other ways too, any and all of which we continue to look for in the archaeology and also to listen for further and to wonder at what the shadows say when we explore them from near, or far.

What a wonderful way to start the day! (September 6th, at 6:40).
Although, you know what they say: Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning (In Italian: Rosso di sera, bel tempo si spera. Rosso di mattina, la pioggia si avvicina).
The rhyme is a rule of thumb for weather forecasting, dating back over 2000 years, based on the reddish glow of the morning or evening sky, caused by haze or clouds related to storms in the region. Due to the rotation of the Earth, from west to east, storm systems tend to travel eastward across a local region of the globe. A reddish sunrise, caused by particles suspended in the air, often foreshadows an approaching storm, which will be arriving from the west, within the day. Conversely, a reddish sunset often indicates that a storm system is on the east side (opposite the sunset), travelling away from the viewer. A similar movement is noted all around the world, in both the northern and southern hemisphere.
Dedicated to all the lovers of SOOC images. This has been only cropped and resized, no editing has been done. Wasn’t the sky simply magical?

Hi everyone. I just got back from a five-day trip to visit family in Boston. Here's my first shot from the trip - I have several more to post from the Massachusetts coast and from downtown Boston, but I'm too tired to work on them now.
====================
I grew up in Boston to parents who weren't much into sports. An uncle once took me to a Celtics game when I was 10 years old, but other than that, until last Sunday, I had never been to a professional sports game in my own hometown. In spite of still having family in Boston, these days I feel more like California (the SF Bay Area in particular) is my home. Still, being at Fenway Park surrounded by Boston accents and a very animated crowd felt very familiar. In spite of the Red Sox losing to the much-hated Yankees, it was a total blast being there, especially because I was with my girlfriend, one of my cousins and two close friends. Really, it was wonderful.
This image was made from five handheld exposures from my D800 with the amazing, fantastic Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 lens. The sky was just amazing that night -- dramatic, beautiful and almost ominous. Perhaps it was a supposed to be a foreshadowing of the Red Sox's fate that evening :)
As I mentioned, I have several other shots from my Boston trip to post. You'll be seeing those over the next few weeks. In the meantime, I hope everyone is gearing up for a great weekend.

Landscape with the Fall of Icarus (c. 1555) is an oil painting attributed to Pieter Bruegel the Elder. It shows the Greek mythological figure, Icarus, plunging into the sea in the lower right-hand corner.
+++ What Great Paintings Say +++
++ John Sutherland describes the painting as:
a parable on human aspiration. Daedalus and his son, Icarus, were imprisoned on the island of Crete. Daedalus created wings to fly away. Icarus, ambitiously, flew too near the sun. The wax holding his wings together melted and he plunged into the sea and was drowned.
If you look carefully, you can see his legs as he drowns, in the far distance of the painting. They are dwarfed by the horse’s rump …
Earth abides: the ploughman ploughs. Trading vessels go about their commercial business. Life goes on. The death of an unlucky aviator is of no more importance than the fall of a sparrow. Mankind deludes itself if it thinks otherwise.
++ Icarus the over-reacher: Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus:
In literature, Icarus is often used as a metaphor for human pride and ambition. For example, in the Prologue of Doctor Faustus (c. 1588), Christopher Marlowe uses the myth to foreshadow the inevitable downfall of Faustus, who sells his soul to the devil in exchange for superhuman powers: ‘His waxen wings did mount above his reach, / And melting, heavens conspired his overthrow’.

Regno Unito, Kent, Margate, Inverno 2014
La storia della città è legata strettamente al mare e ha una fiera tradizione marittima. Per circa 250 anni, Margate è stata delle più importanti località balneari del Regno Unito, contendendo a Scarborough, Whitby e Brighton il titolo della prima stazione balneare dell'Inghilterra. Come Brighton e Southend, Margate è stata tristemente nota per i violenti scontri tra mods e rockers negli anni ‘60, e mods e skinheads negli anni ‘80. Intorno al 1786, Turner, il celebre pittore romantico paesaggistico inglese, si trasferì a Margate e qui ha produsse una serie di disegni della città e la zona circostante prefigurando il suo lavoro successivo. Turner tornò a Margate molte volte nella vita adulta.
The town's history is tied closely to the sea and it has a proud maritime tradition. For at least 250 years, Margate has been a leading seaside resort in the UK, vying with Scarborough, Whitby and Brighton for the title of England's first seaside resort. Like Brighton and Southend, Margate was infamous for gang violence between mods and rockers in the 1960s, and mods and skinheads in the 1980s. Around 1786, Turner, the famous british Romantic landscape painter, was sent to Margate and here he produced a series of drawings of the town and surrounding area foreshadowing his later work. Turner returned to Margate many times in later life.
Mao Zedong (1893-1976) is the father of the Chinese Communist Revolution. I can remember being told in high school in the 1970s that this revolution was going to be different from the others. We were handed out "Little Red Schoolbooks" and were trained to think in revolutionary terms. "True socialism has never been tried, except in China where it was a true peasants revolution."
Oh how naïve The West has become in its dotage. Mao must have chuckled as Western leaders fell over themselves to kowtow to Beijing. The blood shed in the Cultural Revolution of 1966-76 (a purge of dissidents that would have made Stalin blush) was still freshly being spilt as Nixon and Whitlam of Australia paid homage. Meanwhile the annexation of Tibet only foreshadowed the genocide being carried out that persists to this day against the Muslim Uighurs. These are people who deserve our support. Vive la liberté!
Anyone interested in discovering how the world got here needs to read Jung Chang and Jon Halliday's, "Mao: The Unknown Story" (Vintage, 2006).
*** I dedicate these thoughts today to the anonymous "Tank Man", a brave martyr of freedom and to the thousands of Chinese students who died in the Tiananmen Square protests of June 5 1989.

Before 'hitting the trail' I usually figure it is a good idea to acclimate for a couple of days. The Leadville area is a perfect spot to do just that. Leadville itself is located at over 10,000 feet, and there are no shortage of camping possibilities, even at higher elevations. Dayhiking opportunities are plentiful as well.
Dayhike from Wurtz Ditch Rd to Holy Cross Wilderness Area, Segment 9
After camping at Clear Creek Reservoir Campground, I got up early and drove to Leadville (about 20 miles). It was 38f in the morning but I slept well.
Wurtz Ditch Rd is accessed via a dirt road. A very small parking area is here. The hike was about 8 miles roundtrip and fairly easy. Went over 2 bridges and finally made it to the edge of meadow, which I followed for 1/2 mile or more before seeing sign for Wilderness Area. This was all below treeling but it looked like trail may go above for a little while.
I took a short break and then headed back. Saw several other hikers. Also couldn't help but notice that some of the higher peaks had 'fresh' snow on them. I hoped it wasn't a foreshadowing of things to come.
My thought was to hike back to Wilderness Area sign from other trailhead tomorrow. I scouted it out and discovered that the road was very steep and narrow but also well maintained. My car did very well up steep grade but I don't think I want to do it again tomorrow.
Overall a good day. Maybe low 60s and breezy. Mostly cloudy but no rain yet. I camped at MayQueen Campground around Torquoise Lake. My site was near a stream. A nice sunset to end the day.
Australia has gone lockdown mad, the world is on the verge of something big, and I'm going to take a few days off to process things.
In 1955 Allen Ginsberg wrote one of the most powerful and controversial poems of the 20th century, "Howl". In it he raged against forces that conspired to destroy human creativity and authenticity. It was prophetic. His opening line is the perfect description of our current era.
"I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness..."
Then it got even darker!
"What sphinx of cement and aluminum bashed open their skulls and ate up their brains and imagination?
Moloch! Solitude! Filth! Ugliness! Ashcans and unobtainable dollars! Children screaming under the stairways! Boys sobbing in armies! Old men weeping in the parks!
Moloch! Moloch! Nightmare of Moloch! Moloch the loveless! Mental Moloch! Moloch the heavy judger of men!
Moloch the incomprehensible prison! Moloch the crossbone soulless jailhouse and Congress of sorrows! Moloch whose buildings are judgment! Moloch the vast stone of war! Moloch the stunned governments!
Moloch whose mind is pure machinery! Moloch whose blood is running money!"
And on he went. www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/49303/howl
In 2016, barely two months before his death, the great musical prophet Leonard Cohen (may his memory be blessed), left us with a powerful series of songs that seem to foreshadow changes that at the time we had no idea were about to hit the world. The title track was dark enough:
"If you are the dealer, I'm out of the game
If you are the healer, it means I'm broken and lame
If thine is the glory, then mine must be the shame
You want it darker
We kill the flame
Magnified, sanctified
Be the holy name
Vilified, crucified
In the human frame
A million candles burning
For the help that never came
You want it darker
Hineni, hineni
I'm ready, my Lord"
www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0nmHymgM7Y
And then he got darker again with "Puppets".
Early in the 20th century T.S Eliot wrote the poem that summed up the impasse that humanity had come to in "The Waste Land". That was powerfully obscure, but when I first studied it in high school, I was even more impressed by the relative simplicity of another poem of his that got to the nub of modern humanity. It is clearly echoed in the very different work of Allen Ginsberg. His 1925 poem “The Hollow Men” describes 'a desolate world, populated by empty, defeated people.' It begins:
"We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats' feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar
Shape without form, shade without colour,
Paralysed force, gesture without motion..."
And it ends with these prophetic words:
"This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper."
To use an old obscure Hebrew word:
SELAH

The Kraków Ghetto was formally established on March 3, 1941 in the Podgórze district of Krakow.
The Ghetto was surrounded by walls that kept it separated from the rest of the city. All windows and doors that gave onto the "Aryan" side were ordered bricked up. Only four guarded entrances allowed traffic to pass through. In a grim foreshadowing of the near future, these walls contained panels in the shape of tombstones.
15,000 Jews were crammed into an area previously inhabited by 3,000 people who used to live in a district consisting of 30 streets, 320 residential buildings, and 3,167 rooms. As a result, one apartment was allocated to every four Jewish families, and many less fortunate lived on the street.
From May 30, 1942 onward, the Nazis implemented systematic deportations from the Ghetto to surrounding concentration camps. Thousands of Jews were transported in the succeeding months as part of the Aktion Krakau headed by SS-Oberführer Julian Scherner. Jews were assembled on Zgody Square first and then escorted to the railway station in Prokocim.
The memorial of metal chairs in the present day square represent the furniture thrown into the square after deportees were transported to theconcentration camps
Really late posting for for Round 38 of the group Get Pushed where photographers are paired and challenge each other to post an image.
I was paired with SafarFiertze and we both agreed with the same challenge taken from the syllabus of one of MIT's photography classes:
"Choose one site. Your choice, inside or outside, urban, rural or wherever. Photograph your site with respect to qualities of light, especially aspects of light that are particular to your site, as well as to time of day, weather,etc. Make comparisons between the images."
The plan was to take the Chicago lakefront at both dawn and sunset. For this shot I went back to the same spot on Navy Pier as image one, waiting for the sunset.. Less than an hous before sunset, the sky darkened and blocked the sun. Thunderstorms had been predicted and here they were coming in. I snapped this and a few minutes later it was pouring.
Oh, well - "The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men oft go astray." Don't we all know that as photographers? Actually, I think this is my best image of Chicago's lakefront.
Interesting how both images have a bluish tinge. Please see its companion in Image # 1.

Baltimore & Ohio EA No. 51, built by EMC in 1937, recently restored to its as-delivered condition by the B&O Railroad Museum, Baltimore, Maryland.
In the 1930s, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad (B&O) became one of the first railroads in the country to adopt diesel-electric locomotives for its passenger trains. Built in 1937, the No. 51 was the first streamlined diesel-electric locomotive in the world. Custom painted for the B&O in blue and grey, this EA unit featured an innovative elevated cab with sloping "bulldog" nose. The new design provided enhanced collision protection and was popular among travelers for its deco design. The No. 51 was one of six two-unit sets that were placed in service on the all-Pullman "Capitol Limited" trains and other premier trains. These new hardworking locomotives were capable of burning fuel more efficiently than steam engines and required less maintenance, foreshadowing the dieselization of the entire fleet and the end of steam. One of the No. 51's sister locomotives was so successful that it operated an entire year on the "Capitol Limited" route from Washington, DC to Chicago without missing a trip. Further, the new streamlined look helped the railroad rebrand itself to appear more modern in order to better compete with the increasingly dominant passenger airline industry. In 1953, the No. 51 was sent back to General Motors as part of a trade-in program, where it was stripped of its usable machinery and sent to the newly opened Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Transportation Museum.
After a five-year cosmetic restoration project that returned the locomotive to its original 1937 colors and livery, the No. 51 returned to public view in January 2021. By utilizing original archival engineering blueprints and historic tools, the No. 51 was taken down to its skeleton and completely restored through metalwork, carpentry, and reconstructed painting and detailing.
Moscú - Moscow - Москва
La catedral de la Intercesión de la Virgen junto al foso (en ruso Собор Покрова Пресвятой Богородицы, что на Рву, Sobor Pokrová Presvyatoy Bogoróditsy, chto na Rvu), más conocida como Catedral de San Basilio, es un templo ortodoxo localizado en la Plaza Roja de la ciudad de Moscú, Rusia. Es mundialmente famosa por sus cúpulas en forma de bulbo. A pesar de lo que se suele pensar popularmente, la Catedral de San Basilio no es ni la sede del Patriarca Ortodoxo de Moscú, ni la catedral principal de la capital rusa, pues en ambos casos es la Catedral de Cristo Salvador. Como parte de la Plaza Roja, la catedral de San Basilio fue incluida desde 1990, junto con el conjunto del Kremlin, en la lista de Patrimonio de la Humanidad de Unesco.
La construcción de la catedral fue ordenada por el zar Iván el Terrible para conmemorar la conquista del Kanato de Kazán, y se realizó entre 1555 y 1561. En 1588, el zar Teodoro I de Rusia mandó que se agregara una nueva capilla en el lado este de la construcción, sobre la tumba de San Basilio el Bendito, santo por el cual se empezó a llamar popularmente la catedral.
San Basilio se encuentra en el extremo sureste de la Plaza Roja, justo frente a la Torre Spásskaya (la Torre del Salvador) del Kremlin y la iglesia de San Juan Bautista en Dyákovo.
El concepto inicial era construir un grupo de capillas, dedicadas a cada uno de los santos en cuyo día el zar ganó una batalla, pero la construcción de una torre central unifica estos espacios en una sola catedral.
La leyenda dice que el zar Iván dejó ciego al arquitecto Póstnik Yákovlev para evitar que proyectara una construcción que pudiera superar a esta, aunque parece claro que no se trata más que de una fabulación, ya que Yákovlev participó, pasados unos años, en la construcción del Kremlin de Kazán.
La catedral de San Basilio no debe confundirse con el Kremlin de Moscú, que está situado a su lado en la Plaza Roja, y por tanto no forma parte de él. Aun así, muchos medios confunden ambas construcciones.

The Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed (Russian: Собор Василия Блаженного, Sobor Vasiliya Blazhennogo), commonly known as Saint Basil's Cathedral, is a church in Red Square in Moscow, Russia. The building, now a museum, is officially known as the Cathedral of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos on the Moat (Собор Покрова Пресвятой Богородицы, что на Рву, Sobor Pokrova Presvyatoy Bogoroditsy, chto na Rvu) or Pokrovsky Cathedral (Покровский собор). It was built from 1555–1561 on orders from Ivan the Terrible and commemorates the capture of Kazan and Astrakhan. It was the city's tallest building until the completion of the Ivan the Great Bell Tower in 1600.
The building is shaped like the flame of a bonfire rising into the sky, a design that has no parallel in Russian architecture. Dmitry Shvidkovsky, in his book Russian Architecture and the West, states that "it is like no other Russian building. Nothing similar can be found in the entire millennium of Byzantine tradition from the fifth to the fifteenth century ... a strangeness that astonishes by its unexpectedness, complexity and dazzling interleaving of the manifold details of its design." The cathedral foreshadowed the climax of Russian national architecture in the 17th century. The Guardian compared building with "garish chunk of Disneyland architecture" and "a clown's nose on the face of the evil empire".
With the CP bid to buy NS still in play does this CP powered train at a classic NS/Conrail/PC/NYC location foretell what may come? CP power historically has been pretty rare on this stretch of the NS Chicago main making this 29G somewhat noteworthy. 11/30/15
Looks like the wrecking ball will soon start swinging.
The building on the left is called Development House - a bland and unremarkable name that turned out to be a foreshadowing of its imminent fate. After its demolition, a new 10-storey office is due to take its place.

I finally plundered my 12 yr old, original bubble iMac's Photoshop files to post images of creative pieces I had done on that machine WAY back when. I like these files and I'm happy to show them, at long last.
This is one of a series of 8 variations I did using the guitar as a compositional basis for abstraction. Other artwork is often blended in using layers and I more than liberally ran riot with the filters. All of them were done in Photoshop 6.

Triumph TR4A (1965-67) Engine 2138cc S4 OHV Production 28465

The TR4A was an evolution of the TR4, updated with a new chassis. It was hoped the new, but more complex independent rear suspension would address the buying public's desire for more comfortable riding sports cars.All of which added weight and the TR4A is around 100lbs heavier than the TR3. a/c electrics and diaphragm clutches were optional, as were wire wheels (£36), overdrive (£51), heater (£13) and set belts (£4 each)
In response to dealer requests, about 25 percent of TR4As were produced with a solid rear axle option (also called a live axle), similar to the earlier TR4. The TR4A was the first vehicle to offer an option for axle type. The new suspension eventually proved itself with the buying public and in racing, with three TR4A IRS models posting a team win and finishing 1st, 2nd and 3rd in class at the Sebring 12-hour race of 1966.
Like the TR4, the TR4A was also available with the "Surrey Top" hard top system; a weather protection system with rigid rear section including the rear window and removable fabric section over the driver's and passenger's heads. This aesthetically foreshadowed the silhouette of Targa top cars..
