era il premio vinto da mio padre in occasione di una gara di pittura estemporanea a Villanova d'Albenga:
IV Mostra di Pittura "Violetta d'oro" - 1967
(trofeo Cav. A. Isoleri)
Partecipò due volte e due volte vinse ;-)
Non ho immagini del dipinto poiché rimase al comune di Villanova.

Se ne stava tranquillamente a brucare nel prato poco sopra il rifugio Elisa e quando mi vide si allontanò con calma ma senza darmi il tempo di inquadrarlo.
Poco dopo però, mentre salivo lungo la costa boscosa, lo scorsi nel prato sottostante prima che lui mi vedesse ed ebbi la seconda occasione.

I was humbled when my photo was selected to be on the front cover on such an occasion.

Viewed from the summit of Scratchbury Hill near Warminster in Wiltshire, 66177 and 66069 exit the mist-filled Wylye Valley and head north while working 6V14, the 0515 Eastleigh to Margam.
I have had my eye on this view for some time, requiring an early morning, high summer train heading north through the valley. Late July was arguably too late in the season, but this unusually timed one-off freight taking refurbished steel carriers from Arlington’s Eastleigh works back to South Wales was the first (and in retrospect, only) occasion for me in the summer of 2019.
Driving north through the Wylye Valley, the signs did not look good, with patches of thick fog punctuating the journey. The viewpoint, the Iron-Age hill fort at Scratchbury Camp was a strenuous climb up from the valley floor, and arriving just before 6am, the railway line was still shadowed and bathed in fog.
However, 20 minutes later the swirling mists cleared to reveal a shadowy view of the northern end of the valley and slightly early, the train appeared and was captured in a sunny gap.

One of quite a few taken for this week's theme so still trying to decide, it will be one of those occasions I decide on the bus in to work!
Done!!
I keep reliving MM challenges, this week sweet spot and inspired by a song!
Ponte Vecchio (sec. XV)
E’ il “Monumento nazionale” che caratterizza la città. Detto anche “ponte del diavolo” fu costruito nel 1428 per favorire l’accesso a Dronero e alla valle dalla piana di Cuneo; non si conosce il nome del suo progettista, ma l’Archivio storico conserva la pergamena della quietanza di un certo “magister Antonius, magister pontis lapidarum Draconerii”. Sorge nel punto più stretto del Maira ed è lungo 67 metri. Consta di tre grandi arcate diseguali a tutto sesto formate da una doppia orditura di conci in pietra. Sul pilastro dell’arcata minore poggiava il ponte levatoio che fu soppresso nel 1810. Nell’occasione venne ampliato lo stretto passaggio verso la città. Il piano stradale oggi è coperto di acciottolato, come in origine. Un’elegante merlatura lo percorre sui due lati.

It has some technical flaws, but it is a very beautiful bird, and we only spotted them on 2 or 3 occasions.
I was trying to work in a reference to the Christmas Nutcracker, but the Hooded Merganser doesn't really do any shell cracking - he just eats the crayfish whole after maybe stripping off the legs. He does that with some vigorous shaking, but he does actually chomp down on the legs to snap them off, on occasion. I guess that comes close to qualifying as nut-cracking? My hoodie "season" hasn't been so productive as seasons before - no chase action like this yet, birds much less consistent at my favorite local pond. I do find them irresistibly delightful. This one is from 2021.
L'occasione era unica !!! L'emozione è stata grandissima!!!

Grazie a tutti per la vostra gentilezza! Un saluto
Well it's my favourite wharf in Sydney.
Located at Beulah Street, in Kirribilli.
Harbour action 24/7. On this occasion a very crowded Fishburn Catamaran (Sydney Ferry) is scurrying back to Circular Quay from its trek to Mosman and Cremorne Point.
So to accompany this chilled image of Sydney harbour, here's the ultra cool UB40 with their distinctive version of 'Light My Fire' (the classic song by 'The Doors'):

Driving home on several occasions recently, I noticed a derelict plot in an industrial area a few hundred metres down my road from my home, that looked a likely spot for butterflies. It had a number of self seeded Buddleia bushes and well developed wild flower growth Sure enough, Common Blues, Small Coppers, Small Skipper, and others were present. This was one of the shots I took that morning, before the inevitable clouds rolled in.
This butterfly settled on this flower as the sun disappeared behind a cloud briefly and stayed put for 15 minutes, until the sun emerged again, buffeted by gusts of wind but refusing to budge, no matter what.
Thanks everyone for the faves and comments. Thanks again Darren Chapman for the correction! :-)
My new doll Amalia will be available at xxx Event from 13th to 3rd 2020, June round
I did 5 different tones Genus head, eyes pack, eyeshadow, lipsticks.. for the occasion. Info coming.
La Sfera Grande di Arnaldo Pomodoro è uno dei principali simboli di Pesaro. Un’importante opera d’arte contemporanea che si specchia sull’acqua di una placida fontana e si affaccia sul mare antistante.
Arnaldo Pomodoro, artista di fama internazionale nato nel 1926 a Morciano di Romagna, è considerato uno dei più importanti scultori italiani del XX secolo, e le sue sfere bronzee sparse per il mondo sono considerate il suo marchio di fabbrica.
La Sfera Grande pesarese è una fusione in bronzo del 1998, ricavata utilizzando un modello in poliestere realizzato dallo scultore nel 1967 in occasione dell’Expo di Montreal e collocato a Pesaro nel 1971. L’originale si trova oggi a Roma davanti alla Farnesina, sede del Ministero degli Esteri.
La scultura rappresenta una massiccia sfera spaccata nel suo centro, da cui fuoriescono quelli che potrebbero sembrare dei complicati ingranaggi caratterizzati da una precisa composizione geometrica.
Comunemente conosciuta in città come “palla di Pomodoro”, la Sfera Grande, oltre alla sua importanza artistica, è ormai da oltre 50 anni un punto di riferimento e di incontro per tutti i pesaresi, ma anche per i tanti turisti che dal centro storico si avvicinano verso la costa adriatica e le sue spiagge.
The occasion was an outdoor religious ceremony at Foguangshan (佛光山), the largest Buddhist centre in south Taiwan. A nun is seen walking past. It's interesting to note the cute icon of the recent World Games hanging on her bag.
Well I'm going to bore you all again with even more images from that last visit up to Seaham
I came away with so many images I was fairly happy with and as unfortunately we don't seem to be getting away as much as we used to, this is what I have to work with
I've said many times previously how I often see faces in the waves. On this occasion I think the wave looks rather like a sea monster, rising from the deep
The conditions that morning although not great to start with and one or two togs seemed to call it a day, due to the rain. We stuck it out, as the waves continued to pound their way toward shore
Then from no where we got this beautiful light, backlighting the mist/rain as it headed out to sea
It provided a wonderful atmosphere, conditions you don't often get
So here it is, the creature from beneath
Recommendation I keep forgetting to mention - Billy & Molly - Disney Plus
Its a story about an otter on Shetland
You can't not be touched, I cried at one point
So worth watching, if you've not already
Ultima domenica arancione, prima di aprirsi al giallo, in Liguria. Sulla stretta passeggiata di Genova Pegli un'autentica folla in occasione del mercatino dell' antiquariato. Mai vista tanta gente, in alcuni punti si faceva fatica a passare. Forse colpa della splendida giornata dal clima primaverile, forse della stanchezza di tanti , che non hanno più voglia di prendere precauzioni. Me compresa : la cosa più saggia sarebbe stata evitare questo assembramento. Mi sono stupita del fatto che, dopo un anno di attenzione, non me ne importasse più nulla. Forse non mi conosco ancora bene.
Tutto sembrava tornato alla normalità, come se l'anno trascorso fosse stato un brutto sogno : era bello stare tra la gente, non vederla più come un potenziale pericolo.
Ma il virus compie il suo lavoro, non ammette rilassamento . Speriamo che questi momenti di spensieratezza non ci costino molto
Genova Pegli
All together cheerfully

Gloriosa superba, the name itself describes it well. It is native to the Indian and African subcontinents, but has also been introduced to the Americas.
It's Sanskrit name is Agnishikha, meaning flame tipped, and one of the common English name is also flame lily.
As such, it seemed to be an appropriate photo to post on the occasion of Diwali, the festival of lights.
Another Friday, another occasion to party all night long... will you come dance?

Looking down into Cwm Cau from high up on the slopes below the summit of Cadair Idris. I like other frequent mountain goers are lucky enough to have observed these phenomenon on several occasions but they are always a special moment when they occur.
The Brocken spectre is the magnified shadow of the observer cast upon the surface of clouds or mist opposite the sun, sometimes this is accompanied by a halo, the "glory" as the sun interacts with the tiny water droplets in the mist and clouds. It takes it's name from Brocken, a peak in the Harz mountains in Germany.
Alcuni anni fa, in occasione di un viaggio di alcuni giorni a Castelluccio, ho avuto modo di visitare Norcia e la sua splendida piazza. Mai avrei potuto immaginare che solo qualche hanno dopo una terribile catastrofe avrebbe colpito così duramente questo luogo meraviglioso. Questo luogo di pace o luogo dell'anima, come è stato definito da Brunello Cucinelli. Insieme a Norcia, anche Castelluccio è stato raso al suolo, così come Visso e molti altri meravigliosi borghi, privando della casa i suoi abitanti.
Dallo scorso mese di settembre le Br187 Railpool hanno preso servizio regolarmente sul San Gottardo, prima in testa al servizio quotidiano da Emmenbrucke per Lecco poi in carico al deposito di Erstfeld per rinforzare la trazione degli shuttle intermodali diretti a Melzo.
Da allora mi è capito relativamente spesso di incrociarle, o meglio... di incrociarla. Infatti fin'ora, in ben otto occasioni, ho sempre e solo incrociato la Br187.008 diventata una sorta di presenza "fedele" delle mie uscite alpine.
Nella foto la vediamo ancora una volta correre verso Chiasso al traino di un TEC giunto ad Erstfeld con la Br186.103. (24/6/15)
À l’occasion de Cathédrale de Lumière, la Métropole Rouen Normandie et le festival Normandie Impressionniste confient au plasticien, dramaturge et metteur en scène américain Robert Wilson, la création de la nouvelle œuvre audiovisuelle projetée sur la façade du monument immortalisé par Monet. Une œuvre onirique, abstraite, qui met en perspective les textes de la poétesse africaine américaine Maya Angelou accompagnés des sublimes études pour piano de Philipp Glass.
Avec sa création rouennaise, il confronte son univers abstrait à un édifice solide et s’empare de l’histoire d’une ville qui a souffert, créant des images fortes d’où émergent la vulnérabilité et la beauté de l’existence humaine. Ce spectacle unique est une déclaration d’amour à l’histoire humaine, dans son sens le plus émouvant et complexe. Un rendez-vous artistique monumental à ne pas manquer.
Les poèmes sont lus en anglais par l’autrice et Bob Wilson lui-même, et en français par Isabelle Huppert qui prête sa voix au spectacle rouennais. Des élèves du collège Fontenelle et des lycées Corneille et Flaubert ont également enregistré des lectures des poèmes, en anglais et en français, dans le studio d’enregistrement du BTS audiovisuel du Lycée Corneille.
On the occasion of Cathédrale de Lumière, the Métropole Rouen Normandie and the Normandie Impressionniste festival have entrusted the American visual artist, playwright and director Robert Wilson with the creation of the new audiovisual work projected on the façade of the monument immortalized by Monet. A dreamlike, abstract work that puts into perspective the texts of the African American poet Maya Angelou accompanied by the sublime piano studies of Philipp Glass.
With his Rouen creation, he confronts his abstract universe with a solid building and seizes the history of a city that has suffered, creating powerful images from which emerge the vulnerability and beauty of human existence. This unique show is a declaration of love to human history, in its most moving and complex sense. A monumental artistic event not to be missed.
The poems are read in English by the author and Bob Wilson himself, and in French by Isabelle Huppert who lends her voice to the Rouen show. Students from Fontenelle College and Corneille and Flaubert High Schools also recorded readings of the poems, in English and French, in the BTS audiovisual recording studio at Corneille High School.
