Neapolitan pasta and beans
------------------------------------------------
400 g of pasta
200 g of boiled cannellini beans
2 spoons of extra virgin olive oil
1 clove of garlic, salt
On the top, some chopped parsley and parmigiano chips.
If you like it, you can add some red hot pepper (the south-italian kind, of course)!
The Neapolitan nativity scene is a representation of the birth of Jesus traditionally set in Naples in the eighteenth century.
The Neapolitan crib art has remained unchanged for centuries, becoming part of the most consolidated and followed Christmas traditions of the city. Famous in Naples, in fact, is the well-known via dei presepi (via San Gregorio Armeno) which offers a showcase of all the local crafts concerning the nativity scene. Moreover, there are numerous city and non-city museums (such as the museum of San Martino or the royal palace of Caserta) in which historical pieces or entire scenes set during the birth of Jesus are exhibited
Carolus Clusius (1526-1609) is, I think, the first to have in 1601 described our plant fully. He says he received it from a pharmacist friend in Naples, hence its common name. Soon it was naturalised in the Low Countries, but I don't recall having seen it before my little hike in the Gaasperpark this morning. The Star is quite striking because you don't often see silver or gray flowers. Quite pretty!

Arte Presepiale Napoletana del 17° secolo
The Neapolitan crèche is used represent,not the classic crèche but the live of all days of town .The example for all is Benino : The man who sleep lying down ,often on the cavern .He represent the people who don't know the truth and remain in the ignorance .
Il presepe Napoletano è solito rappresentare non il presepe classico,ma la vita della città di tutti i giorni.
Un esempio per tutti è Benino ,un uomo che dorme sdraiato di solito sotto una grotta .Rappresenta il popolo che non deve sapere la realtà e viene tenuto nell'ignoranza .

This picture was taken when we spent the festive season in Naples at the end of December 2022. Just the right weather to visit museums and palaces! But since it is an indoor shot, the weather does not matter and does not spoil the enjoyment of the current hot days at all.
A 120Ëš panorama shot & stitched in camera with the Fujifilm X100s.
Other than a few contrast adjustments, this is pretty much straight out of the camera...

For the "Looking close... on Friday!" challenge "Ice cream"
How to fit an ice-cream into a macro? Not an easy problem this week!
I decided to use 3 tiny pill containers to act as tubs for the 3 colours of my neapolitan ice cream ... together with those small spoons you get with a take-away scoop! Melting was inevitable ... and of course nothing was wasted ... all the ice cream mysteriously vanished! And sticky fingers were all that remained 😊
Hoping that you have a restful and relaxing weekend

The city of Naples/Napoli is crammed with picturesque alleys; this one is in the St Lorenzo quarter of the Old City – and despite the aircon units, it still delights the senses.
My drone looks down at evenly-spaced "flavors" of Chinle mudstones from close range. Site is in Arizona north of Joseph City near Mesa Wash.
The small, closely-packed dendritic erosion channels on this steep slope can be compared with the large dendrites I photographed on a flat dry lake surface. Perhaps the closeness of the channels is a function of slope angle.
