"Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect."

Many years ago I thought nothing of purchasing anything made of plastic. Looking at this image of plastic straws, I am reminded that it is up to each and every one of us to make significant changes to our lives if we care about our Earth and those who will live long after we have left this planet.
In my mind, this image has gone from one of captured beauty to one as a reminder that I need to be aware of my part in protecting Mother Earth.
Demonstration on Plaza Mayor in central Madrid. We just happened to be there as innocent bystanders. Lots of people seemed to be unhappy about something, but the whole event was very civil and organized. My Spanish friends will undoubtedly recognize the flags. My knowledge about the event is scanty enough so that I will not try to say more for fear of misrepresenting facts.
The little man explores the library…

The little student also created his world
with the following amazing designs:

1598
Muore Alfonso II, ultimo duca degli Estensi e i territori del Ducato di Ferrara passano allo Stato Pontificio. Nel frattempo il Delta del Po avanzava verso nord con rami di Tramontana, di Levante e di Scirocco.
Il Po di Tramontana, in particolare, cominciò con i suoi sedimenti ad alzare i fondali della laguna verso Chioggia.
1600-1604
Per timore che l'espansione a Nord-Est del Delta andasse ad interrare la laguna di Venezia, agli inizi del 1600 il Po fu deviato a sud verso la Sacca di Goro con un canale artificiale che è il suo letto attuale. Questo intervento detto "Taglio di Porto Viro", determinò l'inizio della formazione del Delta moderno.
Il vecchio letto divenne un canale navigabile, il Canal Bianco-Po di Levante. Se prima del 1600 il Delta si espandeva di circa 53 ettari l'anno, dal 1604 al 1840 si passò a 135 ettari l'anno.

1598
Alfonso II, the last Duke of the Este family, dies and the territories of the Duchy of Ferrara pass to the Papal State. In the meantime, the Po Delta advanced northwards with branches of Tramontana, Levante and Scirocco.
The Po di Tramontana, in particular, began with its sediments to raise the depths of the lagoon towards Chioggia.
1600-1604
For fear that the north-eastern expansion of the Delta would bury the Venice lagoon, in the early 1600s the Po was diverted south towards the Sacca di Goro with an artificial canal which is its current bed. This intervention called "Taglio di Porto Viro", determined the beginning of the formation of the modern Delta.
The old bed became a navigable canal, the Canal Bianco-Po di Levante. If before 1600 the Delta expanded by about 53 hectares a year, from 1604 to 1840 it increased to 135 hectares a year.

After spending time in Ireland's countryside, we headed to Dublin to return our rental car. It was exciting to be in this vibrant city wiith so much historical charm and lots of great things to see & do!
This is the Long Room, with it's oak ceiling and two levels of bookshelves holding some of Ireland's most ancient and valuable volumes in the oldest part of the Library at Trinity College and still in constant use... since 1732.

"I'm only lonely
When the night is home
Controlling for me
'Til my right is wrong
Nothing's the way it seems
When things go wrong
I know me, know me
I cannot move on
I cannot move on
Everytime I...
Close my eyes I...
Dream about your face
Nothing can replace
Everytime I...
Close my eyes, your
Voice I can't retrace
Nothing can replace
Nothing can replace
I know you told me that you won't be long
Time lapse and I'm trapped in another's arms...
I am too cold, I long for your warmth
I'm not me, got me
I cannot move on
I cannot move on
Far away
I'm all alone
I'm on my own..." - Ravyn Lenae ♫

It is a real problem, is it not? How can we come to an understanding of this utterly diverse and complicated world whilst sitting in the particularity of our home? It is true that the media, from newspapers to TV and social media, offer us a daily digest of selected information. We would, I sincerely hope, critically examine these news and think for ourselves. However, even so, we would have to deal with the selective nature of the information. We never see "the whole picture". Our knowledge, even at the best of times, is necessarily fragmentary. It is absolutely important to be aware of this limitation - it is one of the virtues that make us human.
I am saying this because AI is on the march. AI has never ever left its ivory tower, it never "left home". It never made any experiences. AI has not seen anything. It does not know how to suffer. What it does is to harvest and (often illegally) exploit printed or published materials, information it has neither created nor even collected. It does not know what it does not know. And yet AI will come up with explanations and scenarios that are untroubled by any kind of self-doubt. AI does not know when it is peddling false information. AI will interpret the world whilst staying at its "home" and will not even be aware of it. Leica M8 plus Voigtlaender 35/1.4 at approx. F8.

This was just a test shot ahead of my planned evening shoot, but to be honest I prefer this daytime version on account that the colours show up better, especially the middle mustard section and roof cylinder. And the new pool does lend itself for some great reflections.

San Francisco Square in the Historic Center of Quito.
From left to right, in the San Francisco building, you can see the doors of the Chapel of Cantuña, the Chapel of Villacísla, the main church, the convent and the museum.
***
The Church and its chapels (La Iglesia de San Francisco), which were considered sacred places.
Together, Church and Convent encompass three hectares including 13 cloisters (six of them major), three churches, and a large courtyard. In total, about 40,000 square meters of construction. San Francisco follows the classical typology of medieval monasteries. The main Church is the guiding axis and from there the cloister galleries extend: the refectory, the chapterhouse, and winery. These define a quadrangular courtyard, with the four respective pandas, or galleries: that of the chapter room, the refectory, the converts, and the mandatum. In addition to the basic dependencies of a convent, there were areas devoted to health care, education, crafts, a garden, and even a jail (to maintain strict discipline). The kitchen and dispensery operated in the cloister of services.
***
Walking from the Old Town’s narrow colonial streets into this open plaza reveals one of the finest sights in all of Ecuador: a sweeping cobblestone plaza backed by the mountainous backdrop of Volcán Pichincha, and the long, whitewashed walls and twin bell towers of Ecuador’s oldest church.
***
The Public Square (Plaza de San Francisco) was a purely urban space, demarcated and connected to various public activities (teaching, market, water supply).
***
Sad part of our History.
In pre-Hispanic Quito, the current lands of the Church and Convent of San Francisco were occupied by the royal palace of the Inca Huayna Cápac, before the advance of the armies commanded by the Spaniards from the south and the impossibility of defending the city the indigenous general Rumiñahui arranged the total destruction of it. In the city fire the palace was destroyed and buried under a huge amount of rubble and garbage. One of Rumiñahui's soldiers was the great-grandfather of the indigenous Cantuña, who as an eyewitness to the events had full knowledge of what was buried in the place. The construction of the church and convent of San Francisco began around 1537, just three years after the Spanish foundation of the city, with the completion of a provisional temple that was maintained until 1550, when construction of the current building began and which was completed around 1680. Although the building was officially inaugurated in 1705.
I decided to visit this delightful little Cats Museum currently featured under "Editor's Picks" this month... One of the things I especially appreciated were the two posters that had both "Friendly Plants for Cats" and "Toxic Plants for Cats" on the wall. I knew about a fair amount about the toxic plants, but not all, so I very much appreciate that knowledge - might save my own two rl kitties some day because of that!!
They also have real life pics of kitties for anyone who joins their group, and can have their own kitty pics posted in a frame on their walls, There's lots more great information and facts (in both English and Spanish) about our feline friends throughout! If you're a cat lover, I would definitely pay a visit! ♥♥♥♥ maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Shishapangma/32/133/73

Da noi si dice che potrebbe essere un business .... .
L'"esportazione della nebbia" è un modo di dire ironico e un'espressione goliardica nata per descrivere l'abbondanza di questo fenomeno atmosferico nella bassa pianura padanoveneta.
La frase viene talvolta usata per prendere in giro o sottolineare, con autoironia, la peculiarità del clima locale che spesso avvolge la regione in "un vero muro di nebbia"
Per me, la nebbia è un elemento che caratterizza il paesaggio, le leggende e l'immaginario collettivo della zona, spesso associata a storie misteriose o d'atmosfera.
eng
Here, people say it could be a business.
"Fog export" is an ironic expression and a lighthearted phrase created to describe the abundance of this atmospheric phenomenon in the lower Po Valley.
The phrase is sometimes used to mock or self-deprecatingly emphasize the peculiarity of the local climate, which often envelops the region in "a veritable wall of fog."
For me, fog is an element that characterizes the landscape, legends, and collective imagination of the area, often associated with mysterious or atmospheric stories.

Large Red Damselfly:-
Damselflies are very difficult to ID accurately so we have made a best guess on their names to the best of our ability, we are happy to be corrected by anyone with more knowledge. (Gordon & Maureen)
Damselflies are insects in the sub-order Zygoptera (meaning "paired-wings"). All four wings are near enough equal in size and shape. They are usually small, weakly flying insects that stay close to the water margins or water surface. When at rest, most species hold their wings along the length of their abdomen. The Emerald Damselflies are an exception and usually hold their wings partly open when at rest. They are therefore known as Spreadwings in North America. The eyes are always separated, never touching. The larvae have external plates (lamellae) at the end of the abdomen, which act as accessory gills.
In Great Britain and Ireland there are about 20 species that may be encountered and a few that are now extinct. These species fall into 4 families and 9 genera. A partial taxonomic "tree" for the damselflies is shown below.
(Courtesy of the British Dragonfly Society website)
As the sun declined, I discovered these two cup agrions in this face-to-face encounter.
When night falls, these damselflies group together on common or nearby supports, and hide behind them with their long silhouettes when they detect a presence.
Enallagma cyathigerum, the cutting agrion, is a species of odonate insect that belongs to the European damselflies.
Agrions colonise the banks of clear, slow-flowing, well-oxygenated watercourses that receive plenty of sunlight.
The main threat to the agrionid is the modification of its habitat by man (mowing, dredging, water pollution). A National Action Plan for dragonflies was set up in 2010, with the aim of acquiring new knowledge about the ecology of the species in order to improve the protection of its habitat.

Ο ωραιότερος κοιμητηριακός ναός,εξ όσων έχω δεί τουλάχιστον,είναι αναμφιβόλως ο Ιερός Ναός προς τιμήν του Αγίου Γεωργίου στο χωριό Γλίνος, ο οποίος,σύμφωνα με εντοιχισμένη κτητορική επιγραφή, ανηγέρθη το 1818 στη θέση Παλιοκόπρια, όπου βρισκόταν αρχικά το χωριό ως ενοριακός,τότε,ναός.
Σχετικά προσφάτως ολοκληρώθηκαν οι εργασίες υποστήλωσης,εξωραϊσμού και διαμόρφωσης του περιβάλλοντος χώρου με πλήρη σεβασμό προς την αρχιτεκτονική φυσιογνωμία του ώστε το μεταβυζαντινό μνημείο,όπως έχει χαρακτηρισθεί από το Υπουργείο Πολιτισμού,να κληροδοτηθεί στις επόμενες γενεές εδραίο και περικαλλέστερο.
The most beautiful cemetery, to my knowledge, is undoubtedly the Holy Church in honor of St. George in the village of Glinos, which, according to a built-in inscription, was erected in 1818 at the site of Paliokopria, where the village was originally then.
Recently completed work of restoration, landscaping and configuration of the surrounding area in full respect of the architectural character of the post-Byzantine monument,as designated by the Ministry of Culture, to be bequeathed to future generations well-established and more beautiful.

I have met semi-literate village intellectuals with a lot of wisdom and highly educated scholars not in control of their motivations. The relationship between wisdom and knowledge is a tricky one. Let us try this formulation: wisdom without knowledge is an impossibility, knowledge without wisdom is vacuous. The point here really is the definition of knowledge or, more precisely, the privileging of a certain type of knowledge (let us call it, for lack of a better term, the academic variety) over other types. Such other types may be emotional knowledge, or social and cultural abilities. The whole sector of artistic expression should be mentioned as well. Just to make the point again: wisdom is based on knowledge, it is not a "return to childhood". So, little cherub, go out into this world and make yourself knowledgeable, you might get wisdom, too.
