"& my heart finds peace tonight and my soul finds comfort there.
In the knowledge that you'll someday, maybe,
Someday maybe, someday maybe be alright."

You love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know who I am
So let me go, just let me go
Unedited shot of a tree with Christmas lights at the Leidseplein in Amsterdam, reflected in a puddle. Taken with my Sony HX1. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
Amsterdam is covered with Christmas markets and the whole place is illuminated beautifully, making the best city in the world look even prettier than it already does. I'm a sucker for those lovely lights and walking around in the Downtown area these days usually leaves me in a romantic, cheery, yet somewhat sad mood. I'm not sure where that sad part is coming from, maybe it's because I often hear that old song in my head that goes a little something like this:
"It's Christmas time
There's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time
We let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty
We can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world
At Christmas time
But say a prayer
Pray for the other ones
At Christmas time it's hard
But when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing
Is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring
There are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
And there won't be snow in Africa
This Christmas time
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Where nothing ever grows
No rain nor rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time again
(Here's to you) raise a glass for everyone
(Here's to them) underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmas time"
Anyway, almost weekend now, have a good one :))
I've made 2 wicked reflection movies of this puddle too, check them out on my YouTube page, thank you :)
Day 12/365
It started off as a right dull, depressing day today so I've been wondering for a while what to get a picture of. The dog started playing up so we've put her outside and the sun suddenly came out, so here it is! This was actually taken through the glass.

昨天清完河道的饗宴。近距離的壞處是，好多炸彈。。哈哈哈
【賞海鳥趣】
每年政府都會派小船清理後花園的小河渠，船的後方總是跟隨著成群的海鳥。清完後，水底生物和魚都浮在水面上，因為混濁的水缺乏了足夠的氧氣；然後當然就是這些海鳥們開趴的最佳時刻啊！
我手持著相機，觀看著。最吸引我的是這些海鳥，說也奇怪的非常有秩序的左去右回的穿梭，像軍機五邊這樣交叉著，真是訓練有數。一般在我家河渠附近最常見的海鳥是燕鷗，紅嘴鷗和銀鷗。
捕魚技術最好的是體型最小的燕鷗，他們有像紅隼那樣的飛行技巧，懸停飛行，見目標便像下餃子般俯衝入水然後銜著一尾魚在喙上，快速的離開水面，在半途魚就已經下肚。有時，漁獲太大隻，在半空會看見魚從燕鷗嘴裡脫出再飛躍入水，很有趣的畫面。

HAART FASHION
Un'Insolita Sfilata
World AIDS Day
1 dicembre 2019
Museo delle Civiltà
Roma.

[HAART FASHION – UN’INSOLITA SFILATA]
il 1° dicembre, giornata mondiale della lotta all’AIDS
un’insolita sfilata di moda a tema HIV
L’evento, unico nel suo genere, fa parte di un progetto triennale di Angela Infante, presidente del Gay Center, dal nome HAARTisticamente, termine che gioca sulla somiglianza fonetica della parola ART, intesa come ARTE e l’acronimo HAART, usato per definire la terapia antiretrovirale. Il gruppo è composto da persone sierocoinvolte, cioè persone interessate a conoscere, comprendere, discutere, approfondire e confrontarsi su argomenti inerenti il mondo della sieropositività.
L’insolita sfilata sarà ospite dei MuCiv - Musei delle Civiltà (EUR), nel Salone d’Onore delle Arti e Tradizioni Popolari
Si avvale di numerosi importanti patrocini, tra i quali spiccano per il tema legato alla salute, la SIMIT, Società Nazionale Italiana Malattie Infettive e Tropicali e della Fondazione PTV – Policlinico Tor Vergata di Roma
- IL PROGETTO HAARTisticamente -
è una trilogia di laboratori annuali: nel primo ciclo, svolto nel 2017, costituito da laboratori di artcounseling, i partecipanti hanno lavorato, cimentandosi con differenti tecniche artistiche, per esplorare il mondo della sieropositività.
Nel secondo ciclo, tenutosi nel 2018 è stato chiesto agli “HAART-attori” di dare una chiave di lettura del mondo della sieropositività, individuale, introspettiva e critica, diversa dagli abituali concetti stereotipati. La partecipazione assidua, una gestione dello spazio interiore e dello spazio scenico hanno portato a portare sul palcoscenico un esperimento di teatro Counseling dal titolo Alici e Cornici.
Nell’ultimo ciclo i partecipanti sono stati chiamati a formulare, ideare, creare un look da passarella, abbinato a temi della sieropositività, riguardanti due concetti chiave: il Contagio e la Cura, senza mettere un limite alla fantasia personale.
My cage has many rooms,
Damask and dark.
Nothing there sings,
Not even my lark.
Larks never will, you know,
When they're captive.
Teach me to be more adaptive.
Green finch and linnet bird,
Nightingale, blackbird,
Teach me how to sing.
If I cannot fly,
Let me sing.
