"Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;
Lengthen night and shorten day;
Every leaf speaks bliss to me
Fluttering from the autumn tree.
I shall smile when wreaths of snow
Blossom where the rose should grow;
I shall sing when night's decay
Ushers in a drearier day."
- Emily Brontë, "Fall, Leaves, Fall"

Old windows, old doors of Hudson, NY
Formerly Claverack Landing, Hudson was once a hub for the whaling industry — and it very nearly became New York’s capital city.
Of all the many cities and towns in our region, only one was named after Henry Hudson, the Valley’s first European visitor. How the designation came to be is, well, a whale of a tale.
Until 1784, the city of Hudson was known as Claverack Landing. It was a farming community of 10 or so families—around 150 people. But that was about to change.
In the years during and right after the Revolutionary War, the Royal Navy clamped down on American whaling— one of the biggest industries of the 18th century (especially in New England). In 1783, brothers Seth and Thomas Jenkins from Nantucket set sail for a new beginning. They found a home base in this unlikely locale—100 miles from the ocean— on a deep and safe harbor with plenty of land. Claverack Landing presented an opportunity to build a company town from scratch… which they did.
The Jenkins brothers and 28 other whalers, who became known as the Proprietors, formed a company and bought the land from Dutch families (who had previously purchased it from the native Mohicans). They laid out a city grid and put into place everything a whaling enterprise would need: ship builders, rope and sail makers, coopers, and more than a few saloons. Within three years, the city had several wharves, four warehouses, plus “a covered rope-walk, spermaceti-works, one hundred and fifty dwelling-houses, shops, barns, one of the best distilleries in America, and fifteen hundred souls,” according to the New York Journal.
On November 14, 1784, Claverack Landing became the first city to be incorporated in the brand-new United States of America. However, according to an 1862 chronicle, Historical Sketches of Hudson, the Proprietors wanted a new name. They unanimously agreed that “it should be called by the name of Hudson.” There is no record as to why they insisted on the name change, but according to the book, at least one person wasn’t happy: New York’s first governor George Clinton. He wanted Hudson named after himself.
In 1797, Hudson was one vote short of becoming the capital of New York State. Nevertheless, the city has survived and thrived, and today represents a true gem of the Hudson Valley.
La Scala dei Turchi est une paroi rocheuse (falaise) sur la côte près de Realmonte, dans la province d'Agrigente.
Elle est devenue avec le temps une attraction touristique, à la fois à cause de l'aspect singulier des écueils aux couches inclinées et de couleur blanche, et de la mention dans les romans du commissaire Montalbano d'Andrea Camilleri.
La Scala dei Turchi présente une forme ondulée et irrégulière, aux lignes arrondies et adoucies.
Elle est constituée de marne, une roche sédimentaire calcaire, de couleur caractéristique blanc pur. Elle s'érige entre deux plages de sable fin.
Le nom (« escalier des Turcs ») vient des incursions de pirates sarrasins, donc arabes, mais appelés « turcs » par la population locale. Ils y trouvaient un abri contre les bourrasques de vent et un abordage plus sûr.
La Scala dei Turchi is a rock face (cliff) on the coast near Realmonte, in the province of Agrigento.
It has become over time a tourist attraction, both because of the singular aspect of the pitches with inclined layers and white in color, and the mention in novels of Commissioner Montalbano by Andrea Camilleri.
The Scala dei Turchi has an undulating and irregular shape, with rounded and softened lines.
It consists of marl, a limestone sedimentary rock, of characteristic pure white color. It stands between two sandy beaches.
The name (“staircase of the Turks”) comes from the incursions of Saracen pirates, therefore Arab, but called “Turkish” by the local population. They found shelter there from the gusts of wind and a more secure collision.
In effetti c'erano tre o quattro poliziotti che controllavano il mercatino dell'Antiquariato. Ma in zone assolutamente tranquille. Sul lungomare, verso sera, dove si affollavano pericolosamente le persone nei bar, non si vedeva nessuno....

La Sacra di San Michele (l'Arcangelo), o più propriamente l'Abbazia di San Michele della Chiusa, chiamata anche Sagra di San Michele nella parlata popolare locale, è un complesso architettonico arroccato sulla vetta del monte Pirchiriano, all'imbocco della val di Susa, nella Città metropolitana di Torino, in Piemonte, nei territori dei comuni di Sant'Ambrogio di Torino e di Chiusa di San Michele, poco sopra la borgata San Pietro.
Collocata su un imponente basamento di 26 metri a 960 metri di altitudine s.l.m, affacciandosi dalla cima del monte Pirchiriano sul confine fra le Alpi Cozie e la Pianura Padana, è il monumento simbolo del Piemonte e una delle più eminenti architetture religiose di questo territorio alpino, appartenente alla diocesi di Susa, prima tappa in territorio italiano lungo la via Francigena.
Dal XII al XV secolo visse il periodo del suo massimo splendore storico, divenendo uno dei principali centri della spiritualità benedettina in Italia. Nel XIX secolo vi fu insediata la congregazione dei padri rosminiani. Nel 2015, il sito è stato uno dei vincitori del concorso fotografico mondiale Wiki Loves Monuments. Nel 2016 il museo del complesso monumentale abbaziale è stato visitato da oltre 100.000 persone.
Nella notte del 24 gennaio 2018, il Monastero Vecchio della Sacra ha subito ingenti danni a seguito di un incendio divampato sul tetto, senza impattare la parte architettonicamente più rilevante, che necessita di importanti restauri. Lo scenario monastico ha largamente ispirato il romanzo storico di Umberto Eco Il nome della rosa.

The Sacra di San Michele (the Archangel), or more properly the Abbey of San Michele della Chiusa, also called Sagra di San Michele in the local popular parlance, is an architectural complex perched on the summit of Mount Pirchiriano, at the entrance of the val di Susa, in the metropolitan city of Turin, in Piedmont, in the territories of the municipalities of Sant'Ambrogio di Torino and Chiusa di San Michele, just above the hamlet of San Pietro.
Located on an imposing base of 26 meters at 960 meters above sea level, overlooking the top of Mount Pirchiriano on the border between the Cottian Alps and the Po Valley, it is the symbol of Piedmont and one of the most eminent religious architecture of this alpine territory, belonging to the diocese of Susa, the first stop on Italian territory along the via Francigena.
From the twelfth to the fifteenth century it lived the period of its greatest historical splendor, becoming one of the main centers of Benedictine spirituality in Italy. In the 19th century, the congregation of the Rosminian fathers was established there. In 2015, the site was one of the winners of the Wiki Loves Monuments world photo contest. In 2016 the museum of the abbey monumental complex was visited by over 100,000 people.
On the night of January 24, 2018, the Old Monastery of the Sacra suffered extensive damage following a fire that broke out on the roof, without impacting the most architecturally relevant part, which needs major restoration. The monastic scenario largely inspired the historical novel by Umberto Eco The name of the rose.

Je vois déjà des sourires illuminer les visages de certains ou l'horreur déformer les visages des puristes. Alors soyons clairs, l'appellation peut choquer certains mais le fromage est excellent ! On trouve aussi du brie et un bleu qui n'a rien à envier à notre bleu de Bresse !
A picture I shot when life wasn't as crazy. This area in Portland features buildings of an earlier time. Portland is known for their love of a good book. Powell's Books is a well-known dealer for book addicts. But only Cameron's Books & Magazines gets to boast the title of oldest bookstore in town. Established in 1938.
Flamingos are large birds that are identifiable by their long necks, sticklike legs and pink or reddish feathers. Flamingos embody the saying "you are what you eat." The pink and reddish colors of a flamingo's feathers come from eating pigments found in algae and invertebrates.
There are six species of flamingo, according to the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS): greater flamingo, lesser flamingo, Chilean flamingo, Andean flamingo, James' (or puna) flamingo and American (or Caribbean) flamingo.
The smallest of all Flamingos is the Lesser, and it is also the one that there is the most of. It is estimated that about 5 million of them reside in the world. They are found mainly in Africa and Asia. They are also one of the most common types of Flamingos in captivity due to their ability to adapt well to such environments.
Greater flamingos (Phoenicopterus roseus) are tall, pink bird in any given locale. They also have long, lean, curved necks and black-tipped bills with a distinctive downward bend.
These beauties in flight were photographed on a bird walk along the shores of Lake Elementaita, Kenya.
This sunset of 15 minutes was one in flaming colors shining through the trees on one of my favourite spots nearby my home. Purmerland, Waterland, 2017.
Again, I would like to thank everyone for your support, views, faves and comments!

La E428-202 entra sul primo binario di Imperia Oneglia, al traino del fotografico organizzato da Italia On Rails.
Trenitalia E428-202 is seen here approaching platform 1 at Imperia Oneglia, Italy, with a private photo charter train.
Walking for exercise during lockdown, camera in hand, capturing passing movements.
A modicum of colour, deliberately muted, on today's walk that required a face-full-of-dirt prone position - but not for long.
No lingering allowed they say, which begs the question, just how long is a linger?
Happy to find some bluebells in the near vicinity albeit a skinny patch.
Anthony's poison arrow frog (Epipedobates anthonyi) - El Oro Province, Ecuador
One of the stunning blue and red Epipedobates from a population in the El Oro Province. I saw this species in a quite a few different locales but only one site where they had this beautiful color pattern. This species is restricted to Southern Ecuador and the Northwest tip of Peru. They live in a variety of habitats in the foothills of the Andes Mountains however despite their plasticity when it comes to habitat they're listed as near threatened by IUCN. Dendrobatids are unusual among frogs in that they display parental care, in some species it is quite advanced. In this particular species the male guards the eggs for approximately 2 weeks until they hatch and then the male will carry the tadpoles to a water source such as a puddle where he leaves the tadpoles and they will eventually mature.

Hola amigos : hoy os quiero comentar algo más que se celebra en estas fiestas de Getafe. Aunque son en honor de Nuestra Patrona, La Virgen de los Angeles, no solo se realizan actos de la Iglesia. Hay mas cosas que ahora os cuento.
En el recinto ferial, hay toda clase de cachivaches para los mas peques, la noria, los caballitos, el tren de la bruja, y un sin fin de cosas, que ya ni me acuerdo. Asi como muchas casetas, con rifas, el famoso azúcar tostado, y otras donde degustar un vino dulce muy rico, y otras donde poder sentarse a cenar.
Fuera del recinto ferial hay de todo, todos los diass.:
Pasacalles, gigantes y cabezudos, gran desfile de carrozas, muchos conciertos, ofrecidos, por orquestas, y bandas de musica de aqui, y de fuera, cantantes, como, Nena Daconte, Edurne, y Soleá Morente entre otros.
Sibre todo mucha musica, tanto en el centro como en los distintos barrios.
No os he dicho que también tememos noches de fuegos artificiales, y ayer precisamente fue una de ellas, pero esta es distinta de las demás, y atrae a mucho público.
Se trata de un espectàculo piromusical,con,cohetes, luces de colores, agua y música amenizado con la música de la Banda Municipal de Getafe y se realiza en el Lago del Sectdor-3 , en mi barrio, y es un concierto muy bonito.
Concursos, eventos deportivos y hasta nuestra propia falla, cada año se planta una, y va dedicada a algo o alguien que se ha distinguido o celebrado algo en este año.
La del 2002,realizada por el artista fallero Antonio Sanchez, con la temática 100 años de la Base Aérea en Gerafe.
Me dejo todavía muchas cosas, pero no quiero resultar pesada, creo que mas o menos os he hecho un resumen de las Fiestas de mi pueblo y espero haya sido de vuestro agrado.
