I went out tonight for a walk with my friends and my camera : it was a beautiful summer night, people were enjoying the fresh breeze coming from the sea and I could take a couple of shot of this beautiful moon.
Good night you all, it's late and tomorrow I'll be at school all the day!
Punta a conquistare la luna. Se non ci sarai riuscito, avrai vagabondato tra le stelle.

Found this brown anole on a cement block while hiking the other day. They're not very big. This one, body and head was about two inches long. He's feeling threatened as I was setting up my tripod too close for his comfort so he started extending and retracting his dewlap then bobbing his head and doing pushups to make himself look big.
The final resting place of baseball legend, Joseph Paul DiMaggio (1914-1999). Revered to this day, Joltin' Joe is buried at Holy Cross Cemetery in Colma, California. He is perhaps best known for his 56-game hitting streak (May 15 – July 16, 1941), a record that still stands.
On August 8, 1941, four months before Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor, bandleader Les Brown and his orchestra recorded what would become one of history’s most popular baseball songs.
"Hello Joe, whatta you know?
We need a hit so here I go.
Ball one (Yea!)
Ball two (Yea!)
Strike one (Booo!)
Strike two (Kill that umpire!)
A case of Wheaties
He started baseball's famous streak
That's got us all aglow
He's just a man and not a freak,
Joltin' Joe DiMaggio.
Joe, Joe DiMaggio
We want you on our side
He tied the mark at forty-four
July the 1st you know
Since then he's hit a good twelve more
Joltin' Joe DiMaggio
From coast to coast that's all you'll hear
Of Joe the one man show
He's glorified the horsehide sphere
Joltin' Joe DiMaggio
He'll live in baseball's Hall of Fame
He got there blow by blow
Our kids will tell their kids his name
Joltin' Joe DiMaggio"

“The struggle of literature is in fact a struggle to escape from the confines of language;
it stretches out from the utmost limits of what can be said; what stirs literature is the call and attraction of what is not in the dictionary.” ~ Italo Calvino ~
. . . that being said . . .
When I shoot, I'm never sure what's calling me at the moment. Sometimes my images sit in folders for days, weeks, or months. However, when they beckon, it's usually for a reason, one which helps me process a situation at hand.
"Challenges make you discover things about yourself that you never really knew. They're what make the instrument stretch - what make you go beyond the norm.” ~ anon ~
So today I guess this is all about stretching.
“Life is often compared to a marathon, but I think it is more like being a sprinter; long stretches of hard work punctuated by brief moments in which we are given the opportunity to perform at our best.” ~ Michael Johnson ~
“Be free all worthy spirits, and stretch yourselves, for greatness and for height.”
~ George Chapman ~
“If you put yourself in a position where you have to stretch outside your comfort zone, then you are forced to expand your consciousness.” ~ Les Brown ~

The Glory Days: New York Baseball 1947-1957 exhibit ran at the Museum of the City of New York from June 27 to December 31, 2007. The decade between 1947 and 1957 was the golden age of baseball in New York City. With three major league teams—the Yankees, the Brooklyn Dodgers, and the New York Giants—at least one of whom played in the World Series every year except 1948; two National League teams in an intense rivalry each season; and seven landmark subway series, New York was the undisputed baseball capital of the nation. But more than that, New Yorkers lived and experienced baseball in their town in a way never to be repeated again. This exhibit explores how and why New York City came to dominate the sport, how this changed by 1957, and how the events of these eleven seasons shaped today’s game. In addition, the exhibition uses baseball as a lens through which city life in the post-war years is examined, and contextualizes baseball’s dominance in the history of the city.
The Museum of the City of New York (MCNY), founded in 1923 to present the history of New York City and its people, fills an imposing 5-floor brick and limestone building on the Museum Mile section of Fifth Avenue, between 103rd and 104th Streets. The Museum was originally housed in Gracie Mansion until this Neo-Georgian-Colonial style was built to the design of Joseph J. Freedlander from 1928-1930. The museum's collections include paintings, drawings, prints, and photographs featuring New York City and its residents, as well as costumes, decorative objects and furniture, toys, rare books and manuscripts, marine and military collections, police and fire collections, and a theater collection.
Les Brown speaks from personal experience about overcoming obstacles in life. His booming voice and great illustrations make him someone worth listening to. I got the above DVD via Success Magazine's website.
