This is one of the most interesting Cathedrals I have found in the Bay Area. It sits on top of a hill in San Francisco and overlooks the city. One of my favorite things about this Cathedral is it's ceiling. It is intricate and geometric and it seems to take on a fluid property as you move about the church. There are so many interesting things to see in here that I ended up spending almost an hour photographing unimpeded. It felt like a little safe-haven.

The Shanghai skyline as seen from the top of the Pearl Tower. The resulting photographs were an interesting mistake of camera shake while zooming in on sections of the heavily smog filled city. They gave me a sense of a long forsaken metropolis so I named this series – Vestige.

It was my second day in the mountain village of Dazhai and I had very quickly gotten used to randomly walking into houses with none of the usual pesky repercussions (such as being thrown in jail or chased away with a cleaver). This particular house was owned by the Tofu Man. When my guide, Bart, and I walked in we just made our way through the massive three-story wooden house into one of the smaller rooms where Tofu Man was already hard at work cooking the tofu.
He had been expecting us, and when we entered the steam-filled room, he beckoned us to sit down on the tiny wooden stools next to the little fire pit. I sat down and he looked at me with all seriousness and suddenly burst out a mad cackle before going back to work. The light from the fire danced on his face as he intently stirred the pot, looking like a mad scientist working on his Franken-fu. When he was done cooking, he took the pot into another room and poured the content into a large white mesh and hand-strained the water out of the tofu until it was a solid white mass. When it was all done, he produced a bowl out of one of his pockets, looked at it inquisitively and decided it was clean enough for this interloper and served me up some yummy tofu. Mmmm.
XL ANGELS

Creature di spirito, esseri di luce sfavillanti, figure celesti spesso alate perché veloci e aeree. Gli angeli popolano da sempre l’immaginario collettivo come simbolo del bene ed esempio di purezza. Con un tema così affascinante si sono confrontati i più grandi artisti di tutti i tempi, dando vita a unʼiconografia ricchissima.
Adoranti o addolorati, musicanti o cantori, vendicatori o ripudiati dal cielo, gli angeli sono comunque entità di sovrumana bellezza. Il Beato Angelico li dipinge con tuniche disseminate di stelle, Botticelli con aureole dorate. Negli affreschi di Mantegna sono figure infantili rosee e rotonde, così come i celeberrimi putti di Raffaello che guardano al cielo. Assumono le sembianze di guerrieri vendicatori (San Michele e il drago di Raffaello) e di ispiratori di verità (San Matteo di Caravaggio). Sono le creature mistiche e romantiche dei Preraffaelliti, quasi un racconto metafisico nella Divina Commedia di Dalì. Sono le immagini di grande pathos di Chagall, che tra le due guerre dipinge un angelo rosso fiammeggiante caduto sugli orrori della terra. E ancora li ritroviamo come icone pop in Keith Haring e come putti “vittoriani” in un logo di Fiorucci che ha fatto il giro del mondo. [...]

Mono no aware (in japanese, literally "the pathos of things"), also translated as "an empathy toward things," or "a sensitivity of ephemera," is a Japanese term used to describe the awareness of mujo or the transience of things and a bittersweet sadness at their passing. The term was coined in the eighteenth century by the Edo period Japanese cultural scholar Motoori Norinaga.

I came across this bike in the middle of an alley in Shanghai. I looked around and wondered why its owner had left it unattended in such an obviously visible place. There can only be one explanation: this was a trap meant to lure unsuspecting pedestrians with the promise of a quick ride home. No doubt there was a Wing Chung master lying in wait, ready to decent upon the poor transgressor and dispense swift street justice. Well, lucky for me I had a ride. I wouldn't want to tangle with Mr. Fists of Fury.
Another generic postcard, this time with maybe a bit too much pathos ?!
Alnmouth's beach has been described as being in three sections -- the main beach (north of the river mouth) that stretches up to the Marden Rocks.
North of these Rocks the beach goes on up to Seaton Point.
However to the south of the mouth of the River Aln is the wild beach that stretches all the way down to Warkworth -- a magnificent walk and best accessed by heading south from the Hipsburn roundabout.

"Who can explain the secret pathos of Nature's loveliness? It is a touch of melancholy inherited from our mother Eve. It is an unconscious memory of the lost Paradise. It is the sense that even if we should find another Eden, we would not be fit to enjoy it perfectly nor stay in it forever.” Henry Van Dyke
The Hotel Bel Air is truly an oasis in Los Angeles. It is like visiting a private estate of a gracious host. One of the finest hotels in the US and the world. In the Gardens are these incredible pieces of art. Security was watching me all the time because of the camera and reminding me not to include any guests even though I was a guest and in areas reserved only for guests.
This is Pathos Castle standing guarding the ancient port of Paphos on the Western fringes of Cypress.. We spent the first week of June there where we thoroughly enjoyed taking in the sights and sound os the Island, doing some tours and generally chilling out.
I hope to pop a few of the best shots up over the next few weeks.
Coraggio nuovo.
