Autumn evening at San Giovanni Bianco in the Brescia Alps.
Greetings finally from home after 2 months, an overgrown jungle of a garden welcomed me with a dandelion apocalypse!
San Giovanni, Italy, panoramic stitch of multiple images at sunset, the rain storm was just clearing, so it wasn't much of a sunset after all. Happy Sunday to all.

El Sukiennice (« Llotja de teixits ») és un dels monuments històrics més emblemàtics de la ciutat de Cracòvia. Aquesta imponent llotja comercial de dos pisos, aixecada el segle xiii i després adaptada a l'època del Renaixement, ocupa el lloc central de la gran Plaça del Mercat i forma part del Patrimoni de la Humanitat de la UNESCO.[1]
A la planta baixa, la Llotja acull avui comerços d'artesania, mentre que el primer pis acull la Galeria d'art polonès del segle xix, una filial del Museu nacional de Cracòvia amb la més important col·lecció d'obres poloneses del món. Entre elles, la famosa tela Les Torxes de Neró, oferta a l'obertura del museu pel seu pintor, Henryk Siemiradzki i el quadre gegant Homenatge prussià de Jan Matejko.
Història
Posicionada segons l'eix nord-sud de la plaça, amb les seves façanes oest i est simètriques respecte als eixos de les entrades, la Llotja de teixits de Cracòvia reuneix elements arquitectònics d'èpoques molt diferents, i constitueix una síntesi global de l'arquitectura de la ciutat.
El nom Sukiennice ve de la paraula polonesa sukno que vol dir teixit, roba. En efecte, els drapers disposaven les seves parades al centre de la plaça del Mercat per a la venda a l'engròs de teixits.
La primera llotja, aixecada al segle xiii, després de la concessió a la ciutat d'una carta de Drets de Magdeburg, es limitava a dues fileres de botigues de pedra que formaven un carrer al mig de la Plaça del Mercat. El comerç als Sukiennice era una font important d'ingressos per a la ciutat: segons el privilegi reial, els venedors vinguts de l'exterior només podien vendre la seva pròpia mercaderia, i només en aquest lloc.
L'any 1358, el Casimir III fa construir el primer edifici de 100 m de longitud amb dos portals ogivals situats al centre de les façanes principals. Després d'un incendi que va consumir l'edifici l'any 1555, es va cridar als italians que havien vingut amb la reina Bona Sforza (esposa italiana del rei Segimon el Vell). La Llotja de teixits renovada a l'estil Renaixement llavors es va dotar d'un àtic decorat amb una cresta amb gàrgoles, estilitzades amb caps humans, realitzades probablement segons els projectes de Santi Gucci. Giovanni Maria Mosca divideix l'edifici en dos pisos i està connectat per escales cobertes per lògies situats sobre els costats més curts.
Els últims treballs importants són duts a terme al segle xix per Tomasz Prylińeski. L'arquitecte transforma la llotja a la planta baixa, instal·lant-hi al llarg dels murs botigues de fusta. El sostre serà adornat més tard amb l'escut de les ciutats poloneses, els emblemes dels gremis i els segells. Prylińeski afegeix també arcades neogòtiques de pedra per tal de donar l'elegància a l'edifici,[1] així com dels mascarons representant caricatures dels presidents de l'època de la ciutat de Cracòvia, realitzats segons un dibuix de Jan Matejko. La llotja superior és adaptada a les necessitats del museu.
The Kraków Cloth Hall (Polish: Sukiennice, pronounced [sukʲɛˈɲːit͡sɛ]), in Lesser Poland, dates to the Renaissance and is one of the city's most recognizable icons. It is the central feature of the main market square in the Kraków Old Town (the historic center of Kraków), which since 1978 has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site).
t was once a major centre of international trade. Travelling merchants met there to discuss business and to barter. During its golden age in the 15th century, the hall was the source of a variety of exotic imports from the east – spices, silk, leather and wax – while Kraków itself exported textiles, lead, and salt from the Wieliczka Salt Mine.
In the immediate vicinity of the hall, the Great Weigh House and the Small Weigh House existed until the 19th century. Other, similar cloth halls have existed in other Polish as well as other European cities such as in Ypres, Belgium; Braunschweig, and in Leeds, EnglandKraków was Poland's capital city and was among the largest cities in Europe already from before the time of the Renaissance. However, its decline started with the move of the capital to Warsaw at the end of the 16th century. The city's decline was hastened by wars and politics leading to the Partitions of Poland at the end of the 18th century. By the time of the architectural restoration proposed for the cloth hall in 1870 under Austrian rule, much of the historic city center was decrepit. A change in political and economic fortunes for the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria ushered in a revival due to newly established Legislative Assembly or Sejm of the Land. The successful renovation of the Cloth Hall, based on a design by Tomasz Pryliński and supervised by Mayor Mikołaj Zyblikiewicz, Sejm Marshal, was one of the most notable achievements of this period.[1]
The hall has hosted many distinguished guests over the centuries and is still used to entertain monarchs and dignitaries, such as King Charles III, then Prince of Wales, and Emperor Akihito of Japan, who was welcomed here in 2002. In the past, balls were held here, most notably after Prince Józef Poniatowski had briefly liberated the city from the Austrians in 1809. Aside from its history and cultural value, the hall is still used as a center of commerce.

Giovanni wohnt bei uns im Dorf zusammen mit Eselin Maja und beide sind sehr liebenswert, aber eben auch wie es sich für Esel gehört, stur und eigensinnig... Ich füttere sie bei meinen täglichen Spaziergängen mit einem Büschel Gras und Streicheleinheiten gehören dazu.

Giovanni lives in our village with donkey Maja and both are very lovable, but just as it should be for donkeys, stubborn and headstrong ... I feed them a tuft of grass on my daily walks and pats are part of it.

Every year I go though old pictures to make calendars for friends and family. I found this one of Giovanni, the grand son of a dear friend. He is a teenager now.
Taken with one of my favorite lenses of all time. Not the sharpest or fastest but it's sturdy, dependable and forgiving. The 70 - 200 VR, you can drop it in a torrential rain storm and it still loves you gracing you with images like this.
We drove through some uber fast and expensive autobahn in Italy that had speed limits but no one seems to follow them. Our rental feather light Lancia feels like it’s ready to fly off the road when driving above speed limit. In the smaller towns, there are some ridiculously hard to drive single lane roads that honestly had to be made for one way by mistake and ended up being used for 2 way travel instead.. There are tiny pullouts here and there and whoever that’s closer to the pullout will either drive into it or reverse into it. Italians drive in reverse gear as fast as they drive forward lol pretty cool. Along the weaving and meandering roads, we lost count of the number of lone churches we saw but this one, San Giovanni church, is definitely my favorite!

Unfortunately, our last trip to the Dolomites was 4 years ago, time for a repeat!
The memory of that extraordinary evening up at the Seceda is still alive:
Shortly before sunset the sun disappeared behind dark clouds, the photo equipment was already packed and we started on the way down. A look back and I saw a stripe in the sky turn pink...so everything was back to square one.
Later we went down to the Fermeda hut with headlamps...and dinner there was particularly good.

Leider liegt unsere letzte Dolomitenreise auch schon wieder 4 Jahre zurück, Zeit für eine Wiederholung!
Die Erinnerung an diesen außergewöhnlichen Abend oben an der Seceda ist dennoch lebendig:
kurz vor Sonnenuntergang verschwand die Sonne hinter dunklen Wolken, das Fotoequipment war bereits eingepackt und wir starteten auf den Weg nach unten. Ein Blick zurück und ich sah, wie sich ein Streifen am Himmel rosa färbte...also alles wieder zurück auf Anfang.
Später gingen wir mit Stirnlampen hinunter zur Fermeda-Hütte...und das Abendessen dort schmeckte besonders gut.
LA CASA DEL PITTORE
Torna a splendere finalmente la casa del pittore Giovanni da Udine, in via Gemona, che per lungo tempo si trovava offuscata dai segni del tempo.
Era il 1535 quando Giovanni da Udine, insieme alla moglie Costanza di Bartolomeo de Becariis, decisero di trasferirsi nella casa di via Gemona. Dopo tanto tempo infatti Giovanni alla fine aveva deciso di tornare nella sua terra natale per sistemarsi, mettere su casa e famiglia. Nel 1874 poi l’Accademia udinese aveva approvato la sistemazione di una lapide in memoria dell’artista. Anno importante invece quello del 1962, perché la casa venne dichiarata Monumento nazionale, grazie a Someda de Marco, direttore dei Civici musei. Negli anni la casa ha subito diversi interventi per essere messa in sicurezza, ma mai prima d’ora era stata oggetto di recupero e restauro.

THE PAINTER'S HOUSE
Finally, the house of the painter Giovanni da Udine returns to shine, in via Gemona, which for a long time was obscured by the signs of time.
It was 1535 when Giovanni da Udine, together with his wife Costanza di Bartolomeo de Becariis, decided to move to the house in via Gemona. After a long time, in fact, Giovanni had finally decided to return to his native land to settle down, build a home and a family. Then in 1874 the Udine Academy had approved the arrangement of a plaque in memory of the artist. An important year, on the other hand, was 1962, because the house was declared a National Monument, thanks to Someda de Marco, director of the Civic Museums. Over the years the house has undergone several interventions to be made safe, but never before has it been subject to recovery and restoration.

The adorable church of San Giovanni in Ranui

Works for the abbey and church were started in the 10th century over a pre-existing oratory associated with St. Colombanus. In 1477 the whole complex was damaged by a fire and rebuilt from around 1490 by Bernardino Zaccagni until 1519. The design was done by Antonio da Correggio.

E' una chiesa seicentesca che sorge accanto alle rovine della Basilica di Sant'Eufemia di epoca romana. Sono solo alcune delle opere architettoniche ed archeologiche che si possono incontrare sull'Isola Comacina, una piccola perla del Lario.
Photograph 40 of 40 for my short time-lapse film “Man and the Mountain - A Dolomiti Tale” due for release February 23rd 2019.
In one days time at 20:00 GMT my first short film gets released. I poured my heart and soul into it not only on location but also in post production as well. 6 months condensed into 6 minutes.
The more popular of the two churches in Santa Maddalena, Santa Giovanni is a road side stop with a little viewing platform big enough for around 10 photographers. It’s a busy place where groups and individuals come and go but it is very scenic so it’s easy to understand why.
I had the pleasure of meeting one of the UK’s leading landscape photographers Melvin Nicholson whilst being there. We’d been virtually acquainted for a few years but this was the first time we met in person. We even took a selfie together!!! I think that was the first selfie I’ve had taken in years!
This was the longest time-lapse I took in the Italian Dolomites at over 2500 frames.
