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....

Description of the District
The Cross-Melville Heritage Conservation District is bounded by Sydenham, Melville, Cross and Victoria Streets in the former Town of Dundas, now the City of Hamilton. The district consists of 49 properties. These properties are predominantly single family dwellings with the exception of three churches.
Cultural Heritage Value of the District
According to the Cross-Melville Heritage Conservation District Study - Background Report the cultural heritage value of the district lies in its historical and associative value, design or physical value as well as the contextual value. The Background Report concludes:
“The Cross-Melville area constitutes a superb collection of buildings with particularly fine architectural attributes. Tree planted along the streets enhance the surroundings of individual buildings and provide expansive canopies over adjacent streets. Developed in the 1840s and 1850s as the first exclusively residential area distinct from the commercial and industrial locales of Dundas, this neighbourhood is associated with numerous prominent citizens, mayors and councillors, including George Rolph, William Notman, Alexis Begue and the Grafton family”.
🇫🇷 L’arbre à palabres est un lieu traditionnel de rassemblement, à l'ombre duquel on s'exprime sur la vie en société, les problèmes du village, la politique . C'est aussi un lieu où les enfants viennent écouter un ancien du village conter des histoires.
Sous l'ombre protectrice de l'arbre, se déroule un rituel codifié où chaque geste, chaque position à sa signification. Les anciens s'installent en premier, suivis des hommes selon leur âge et leur statut social. Les femmes, bien qu'ayant parfois un espace distinct, participent activement aux débats selon les traditions locales.
Le maître de la parole, souvent le chef traditionnel ou un sage respecté, ouvre la séance par des formules rituelles. La parole circule alors selon un ordre établi, symbolisée parfois par un bâton de parole ou un autre objet traditionnel. Nul ne peut interrompre celui qui détient le droit de s'exprimer, créant un espace de respect mutuel et d'écoute active.
🇬🇧 The palaver tree is a traditional gathering place, in whose shade people discuss community life, village issues and politics. It is also a place where children come to listen to a village elder telling stories.
Under the tree’s protective shade, a codified ritual takes place in which every gesture and every posture has its own meaning. The elders take their seats first, followed by the men according to their age and social status. The women, although they sometimes have a separate area, actively participate in the discussions in accordance with local traditions.
The chairperson, often the traditional chief or a respected elder, opens the session with ritual phrases. The floor then passes according to an established order, sometimes symbolised by a talking stick or another traditional object. No one may interrupt the person who holds the right to speak, creating a space of mutual respect and active listening.
🇩🇪 Der Palaverbaum ist ein traditioneller Versammlungsort, in dessen Schatten man sich über das gesellschaftliche Leben, die Probleme des Dorfes und die Politik austauscht. Er ist auch ein Ort, an dem Kinder hinkommen, um einem Dorfältesten beim Geschichtenerzählen zuzuhören.
Im schützenden Schatten des Baumes findet ein festgelegtes Ritual statt, bei dem jede Geste und jede Haltung ihre Bedeutung hat. Die Ältesten nehmen zuerst Platz, gefolgt von den Männern nach ihrem Alter und ihrem sozialen Status. Die Frauen nehmen, obwohl sie manchmal einen separaten Bereich haben, gemäß den lokalen Traditionen aktiv an den Debatten teil.
Der Wortführer, oft der traditionelle Häuptling oder ein angesehener Weiser, eröffnet die Sitzung mit rituellen Formeln. Das Wort wird dann in einer festgelegten Reihenfolge weitergegeben, die manchmal durch einen Redestab oder einen anderen traditionellen Gegenstand symbolisiert wird. Niemand darf denjenigen unterbrechen, der das Recht hat, zu sprechen, wodurch ein Raum des gegenseitigen Respekts und des aktiven Zuhörens entsteht.
🇪🇸 El árbol de las palabreras es un lugar tradicional de reunión, a cuya sombra se habla de la vida en sociedad, los problemas del pueblo y la política. También es un lugar al que acuden los niños para escuchar a un anciano del pueblo contar historias.
Bajo la sombra protectora del árbol, se desarrolla un ritual codificado en el que cada gesto y cada postura tienen su significado. Los ancianos se sientan primero, seguidos de los hombres según su edad y su estatus social. Las mujeres, aunque a veces disponen de un espacio separado, participan activamente en los debates según las tradiciones locales.
El maestro de ceremonias, a menudo el jefe tradicional o un sabio respetado, abre la sesión con fórmulas rituales. La palabra circula entonces según un orden establecido, simbolizado a veces por un bastón de la palabra u otro objeto tradicional. Nadie puede interrumpir a quien tiene el derecho a expresarse, creando un espacio de respeto mutuo y de escucha activa.
🇮🇹 L'albero delle riunioni è un luogo tradizionale di ritrovo, all'ombra del quale si discute della vita sociale, dei problemi del villaggio e della politica. È anche un luogo dove i bambini vanno ad ascoltare un anziano del villaggio che racconta storie.

This little restaurant has always intruiged me with it's quaint space and hidden in the city locale. I need to venture in someday soon.

La Plage de Monsieur Hulot
Au commencement, Saint-Marc n’est qu’un lieu-dit rural qui s’organise autour d’une ferme, d’une minoterie hydraulique et d’une chapelle (c’est de là que vient son nom). Petit à petit, à partir du 19ème siècle,Saint-Marc se transforme en petite cité balnéaire. Saint-Nazaire se développe et la bourgeoisie locale s’intéresse bien vite à ce petit coin préservé de bord de mer. Les premières villas imposantes, appelées « chalets », souvent entourées de jardins magnifiquement arborés, apparaissent alors, elles sont caractéristiques de cette première époque balnéaire dite… pittoresque. Les années passent, on redécouvre les bienfaits de la mer, le train et les routes se développent : l’accès au littoral est ainsi facilité et se démocratise. Des villas plus modestes sont construites en lotissement, des orphelinats et colonies de vacances poussent de-ci de-là. Au début du 20e siècle, l’engouement pour la mer touche une classe plus modeste qui est à la recherche de cités balnéaires moins mondaines : Saint-Marc s’impose alors. Victime de ses atouts pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les Allemands fortifient ce petit bout de territoire, construisent des camps et réquisitionnent les villas. Mais très vite après la guerre, Saint-Marc attire de nouveau les vacanciers. Son atmosphère balnéaire si particulière séduit. Jacques Tati d’ailleurs ne s’y trompe pas : c’est là qu’il veut tourner en 1951 son nouveau film : « Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot » !
Monsieur Hulot Beach
In the beginning, Saint-Marc was just a rural locality organized around a farm, a hydraulic mill and a chapel (this is where its name comes from). Gradually, from the 19th century, Saint-Marc was transformed into a small seaside town. Saint-Nazaire developed and the local bourgeoisie quickly took an interest in this little unspoilt corner of the seaside. so-called picturesque seaside era. The years pass, we rediscover the benefits of the sea, the train and the roads develop: access to the coast is thus facilitated and democratized. More modest villas are built in housing estates, orphanages and holiday camps are springing up here and there. At the beginning of the 20th century, the craze for the sea affected a more modest class which was looking for less mundane seaside towns: Saint-Marc then imposed itself. Victim of its assets during the Second World War, the Germans fortified this small piece of territory, built camps and requisitioned the villas. But very soon after the war, Saint-Marc once again attracted holidaymakers. Its very special seaside atmosphere seduces. Jacques Tati, moreover, is not mistaken: this is where he wants to shoot his new film in 1951: “Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot”!

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 !

Metrans 386-016 is seen here between Česká Třebová and Dlouhá Třebová, whilst working the daily intermodal shuttle from Hamburg.
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.

Ria del Nervión, margen izquierda, Bilbao, Vizcaya, País Vasco, España.
La ría de Bilbao (también conocida como ría del Nervión o del Ibaizábal) es la desembocadura que forma el sistema de los ríos Nervión e Ibaizábal, así como sus últimos afluentes, en su llegada al mar Cantábrico, en el golfo de Vizcaya. Atraviesa Bilbao, divididiendo la ciudad en dos: a la derecha, Deusto, Uribarri, Begoña y Otxarkoaga-Txurdinaga, y a la izquierda, Basurto-Zorroza, Rekalde, Abando y Ibaiondo.
Pasando la jurisdicción de Bilbao, se prolonga 23 kilómetros hasta su desembocadura en el mar, entre los municipios de Santurce, Guecho y Ciérvana.
Antaño las márgenes izquierda y derecha del curso inferior de la ría, a las afueras de Bilbao, eran opuestas en cuanto a sus características sociales: la derecha era residencial y la izquierda, industrial y obrera. En Bilbao, la diferencia reside en que mientras la margen derecha conserva su valor histórico, la izquierda, completamente renovada, se ha convertido en el centro económico de la ciudad, con su epicentro en la Gran Vía de Don Diego López de Haro y la Plaza Moyúa. Ambas orillas han experimentado un desarrollo urbano impresionante, con interesantes lugares destinados al disfrute de locales y visitantes.
Margen derecha:
En el término de Bilbao se pueden observar la torre de la Catedral de Santiago y la iglesia de San Antón se erige a metros de las aguas. Más adelante se encuentra el Mercado de la Ribera, el Teatro Arriaga, el Ayuntamiento y el paseo del Campo de Volantín. El edificio de la Universidad de Deusto se levanta sobre la Avenida de las Universidades.
Más abajo aparecen los municipios de Erandio y Lejona, que a lo largo de los siglos XIX y XX fueron perdiendo parte de su suelo rural para alojar industrias y viviendas de obreros.
En Guecho, el barrio de Romo tuvo un similar carácter obrero, mientras que en los de Neguri y Las Arenas se pueden apreciar algunas fastuosas mansiones de la burguesía vasca.
Margen izquierda:
En la orilla izquierda, dentro del término de Bilbao se encuentran Abando, Indauchu y Zorroza.
La estación de Santander, los paseos de Uribitarte y Abandoibarra son recorridos por su ecológico tranvía eléctrico y llegan al inconfundible Museo Guggenheim Bilbao, símbolo de la nueva era que atraviesa la ciudad. Más adelante, el complejo centro comercial Zubiarte ofrece compras, gastronomía y salas de cine. El Palacio Euskalduna después, y más tarde lujosos hoteles como el hotel Meliá de Bilbao y parques. Por último, el Itsasmuseum Bilbao ofrece exposiciones referentes al pasado ligado al mar de la villa.
Más al norte se encuentran los municipios de Baracaldo, Sestao y Portugalete y, en la desembocadura, Santurce y Ciérvana.
The Bilbao estuary (also known as the Nervión or Ibaizábal estuary) is the mouth that forms the system of the Nervión and Ibaizábal rivers, as well as their last tributaries, as they reach the Cantabrian Sea, in the Bay of Biscay. It crosses Bilbao, dividing the city in two: on the right, Deusto, Uribarri, Begoña and Otxarkoaga-Txurdinaga, and on the left, Basurto-Zorroza, Rekalde, Abando and Ibaiondo.
Passing the jurisdiction of Bilbao, it extends 23 kilometers to its mouth in the sea, between the municipalities of Santurce, Guecho and Ciérvana.
In the past, the left and right banks of the lower course of the estuary, on the outskirts of Bilbao, were opposite in terms of their social characteristics: the right was residential and the left, industrial and working class. In Bilbao, the difference is that while the right bank preserves its historical value, the left, completely renovated, has become the economic center of the city, with its epicenter in the Gran Vía de Don Diego López de Haro and the Plaza Moyua. Both shores have experienced an impressive urban development, with interesting places for the enjoyment of locals and visitors.
Right margin:
In the municipality of Bilbao you can see the tower of the Cathedral of Santiago and the church of San Antón stands meters from the water. Further on is the Mercado de la Ribera, the Arriaga Theater, the Town Hall and the Campo de Volantín promenade. The University of Deusto building stands on Avenida de las Universidades.
Below are the municipalities of Erandio and Lejona, which throughout the 19th and 20th centuries lost part of their rural land to accommodate industries and workers' houses.
In Guecho, the Romo neighborhood had a similar working-class character, while in Neguri and Las Arenas you can see some lavish mansions of the Basque bourgeoisie.
Left margin:
On the left bank, within the municipality of Bilbao, are Abando, Indauchu and Zorroza.
The Santander station, the Uribitarte and Abandoibarra promenades are traveled by its ecological electric tram and arrive at the unmistakable Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, symbol of the new era that is going through the city. Further on, the complex Zubiarte shopping center offers shopping, gastronomy and movie theaters. The Euskalduna Palace later, and later luxurious hotels such as the Meliá hotel in Bilbao and parks. Finally, the Itsasmuseum Bilbao offers exhibitions referring to the past linked to the sea in the town.
Further north are the municipalities of Baracaldo, Sestao and Portugalete and, at the mouth, Santurce and Ciérvana.
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.

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.

Visitors to Morano can expect to be transported to an era where the pace of life was dictated by the ringing of church bells and the rhythm of artisanal crafts. The town's atmosphere is charged with a magical quality, almost as if time has stood still, allowing modern-day explorers to soak in the rich cultural heritage that permeates every corner. These narrow, winding pathways, some chiseled into the very rock, ascend steeply, weaving through a tightly-knit tapestry of homes, religious edifices, and historical structures. The town's layout is a marvel of medieval urban planning, with houses, churches, monasteries, arches, portals, underpasses, stairways, and squares all interlocking in an intimate dance of stone and history. Whether you're a history enthusiast, an architecture aficionado, or simply in search of Italy's lesser-known locales, Morano Calabro offers an experience that is as enriching as it is visually stunning.

Fuerteventura
The 1960 model year was an impressive beginning to a new decade. During the Sixties, Cadillac styling became more graceful and restrained. Although it continued the jet plane styling theme of the '59, its fins were clipped (but still prominent) including a thin strip of red plastic neatly blended into the end of the fin.
