Guerra, s. Subproducto de las artes de la paz. Un período de amistad internacional es la situación política más amenazante. El estudioso de la historia que no ha aprendido a esperar lo inesperado, puede perder la esperanza de cualquier revelación. La máxima, "En tiempo de paz prepara la guerra" tiene un significado más profundo de lo que parece; quiere decir, no sólo que todas las cosas terrestres tienen un fin, que el cambio es la única ley inmutable y eterna, sino que el terreno de la paz está sembrado con las semillas de la guerra y favorece su germinación y crecimiento.
Cuando Kubla Khan decretó su "majestuoso palacio de placeres", es decir cuando hubo paz en Xanadú y gordos festines, sólo entonces,
oyó a lo lejos
Antiguas voces que anunciaban guerra.
Coleridge era no sólo un gran poeta, sino un hombre sabio, y no en vano recitó esta parábola. Necesitamos menos "manos tendidas por encima de los mares", y algo más de esa desconfianza elemental que constituye la seguridad de las naciones. La guerra se complace en venir como un ladrón en la noche; y la noche está hecha de promesas de amistad eterna.
(Diccionario del diablo) Ambrose Bierce

Autumn, the period of grey, the period of fog, the month before Winter...
but, please, look what warm and deep colors it has...
all around you trees are covered of yellow, orange and deep, deep red... warm colors which cover the ground too and make the scenery full or joy, wonder, surprise and infinite beauty...
even in an abandoned cottage in the countryside...
This is Autumn and it is here...

During the Easter period it will be a little fuller even in remote places. But self-discipline seems to work well during this time.
In der Osterzeit wird es selbst an abgelegenen Orten etwas voller werden. Aber die Selbstdisziplin in dieser Zeit scheint zu funktionieren.
Original MidJourney AI assisted digital abstract with iPad Pro, TouchRetouch, procreate, and Apple Pencil.
I recently tried out the new Text-to-Image AI called MidJourney. I am blown away. The quality of its images is a huge step up from previous tools I’ve used (‘WOMBO Dream, Starry AI, and NightCafe).
The output still needs to be upscaled, de-noised, and repainted a bit, but not nearly as much as with other tools.
The user interface is a crazy nightmare… Imagine a Unix-style command line you access from a Discord chat server. There is a bit of a learning curve, but the output is worth it.
Becán ist eine archäologische Stätte und vormaliges Zentrum der Maya der präklassischen Periode. Sie befindet sich im mexikanischen Bundesstaat Campeche, im Zentrum der Yucatán-Halbinsel, 150 Kilometer nördlich von Tikal.
Der Name Becán bedeutet in Mayathan „Schlucht, von Wasser geformt“ und bezieht sich auf den umgebenden Graben, der einzigartig für eine Maya-Stätte ist. Becán, das im Rio-Bec-Stil erbaut ist, war ein regionales religiöses und politisches Zentrum der Maya. Die ersten Nachweise menschlicher Besiedelung gehen ins Jahr 600 v. Chr. zurück. Die Blütezeit der Stadt war jedoch in den Jahren 600–1000, bewohnt war die Stadt bis etwa 1250.
Die Stadt ist von einem Graben umgeben, der an sieben Stellen unterbrochen war. Er war damit kein wirksames militärisches Hindernis, oder wurde nicht als solches fertiggestellt.
Becan is an archaeological site of the Maya civilization in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. Becan is located near the center of the Yucatán Peninsula, in the present-day Mexican state of Campeche,Archaeological evidence shows that Becan was occupied in the middle Preclassic Maya period, about 550 BCE, and grew to a major population and ceremonial center a few hundred years later in the late Preclassic.

within a period of 10 minutes i woke up, jumped in and out of the shower and literally ran outside with a huge buzz of excitement when i saw fog (first time i've seen fog since last winter and i LOVE it)
hahahaha. i mean, most shots didn't work out because of my 50mm lens to fit this whole thing in i had to have the camera pretty far away, and it was too far for the camera to respond to my remote.. so it was all a case of 'self timer and RUN RUN RUN' hahaha most times i didn't make it. fun!!!!
Gestation period for mountain goat is 6 months which would run into March - however it looks like this one had a summer romance so it could be giving birth during the winter which is probably not a good idea given Canadian winters.
1923 Locomobile, Model 48 from the Nickel period. $9000 dollars when new in 1923!
Locomobile was one of the earliest manufacturers in the advent of the automobile age. For the first two years after it's founding in 1899, the company was located in Watertown Massachusetts. In 1900, production was transferred to Bridgeport, Connecticut where it remained until the company's demise in 1929. The example above is a 1923 Model 48 touring car, and a very original example that had been owned by one family for over 60 years. Power is provided by a 525ci T-head 6 cylinder engine that is rated at a true 100hp. President Warren G. Harding had the exact some car and model during his tenure in the White House.
Model 48 and the Durant years
The most important for the marque became the impressive Model 48. Introduced in 1911 as the "type M," it had a very conservative, perhaps dated, concept. It had a conventional but huge chassis with a wheelbase of 143 inches (3,632 mm). Its engine was a straight six with side valves; cylinders were still cast in pairs and it featured a nonremovable cylinder head. Displacement was 429.4 cu in (7.0 L), from a 41⁄2+ in × 41⁄2+ in (114 mm × 114 mm) bore and stroke, giving it a 48.6-hp tax rating by the North American Chamber of Commerce. While called the "M" internally, this car is usually referred to by its tax hp rating. The brake horsepower rating was somewhere north of 90 for the original model, higher in the later versions. Quality of materials and workmanship were impeccable and among the best in the world. Such was also its pricing: A typical open-body cost about $10,000 when the average Model T Ford Phaeton cost about $300. Locomobile also offered custom designs for the lamps and metal work, carried out by Tiffany Studios. Until 1915, left- or right-hand drive could be specified; afterwards, left-hand drive became standard. Right-hand drive cars were meant for export and sat on a chassis four inches shorter. Around 1919, the engine was updated with a longer 51⁄2+ in (140 mm) stroke, for 525 cu in (8.6 L) displacement while retaining the same tax hp rating.
A smaller "38 hp" model, very similar to the Model 48, was added in 1913. The model 38 has a 425 cu in (7.0 L), 62 bhp (46 kW) version of the T-head six and sits on a somewhat shorter 140 inches (3,556 mm) wheelbase. By 1914, Locomobile had stopped selling all four-cylinder models to concentrate exclusively on sixes.
In July 1922, Locomobile was acquired by Durant Motors, which not only continued using the Locomobile brand name for their top-of-the-line autos until 1929, but also still produced the Model 48 until its demise in 1929. Until the mid-1920s, this car was Locomobile's only offering. In 1925, the marque brought out their first new model, the 8-66 Junior Eight, with a more contemporary straight-eight engine, and more importantly, a lower price of $1,785.
Ovingham, Northumberland
Ovingham's parish church of St Mary dates to the Saxon period, with major rebuilding in the 13th century and again in the Victorian period.
St Mary's church was the site of historic drama in 1534, Henry VIII's church commissioners, sent to dissolve Hexham Abbey were challenged from the top of the church tower by the abbot, dressed in armour. The abbot was hanged for his impudence, ostensibly for wearing armour, which was forbidden to a cleric.

situated in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham in Greater London, England. It dates to the Elizabethan period, although the land on which it was built was formerly part of the demesne of Barking Abbey. The house is owned by the National Trust but has been managed since the 1930s by the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham and its predecessors. It is open to the public for 10 months of every year.

(El arte de ser un auténtico cotilla).
La vida de un “cotilla” es muy sacrificada y en verano roza casi lo tormentoso.
Los cotillas no dejamos de ser unos soñadores, seres muy alejados de las palabras que fija la Real Academia de la Lengua como chismosas y parlanchinas, todo lo contrario, intentamos averiguar el porqué de las cosas, de ciertas actitudes, el intríngulis de ciertos comportamientos.
………………………
Íbamos todos camino de las Islas Cíes en un barco atestado de turistas.
Y de pronto apareció ella, brillando con luz propia sobre un mar de fondo completamente azul.
Y bajo un violento sol, una luz oblicua derramaba destellos nacarados en su pelo negro azabache.
Hay que reconocer que era una morenaza de muy buen ver, vamos, una chica de portada de revista, espléndida, solemne.
Un servidor elogiaba su fina elegancia, una auténtica reprimenda para mentes que ya creían haberlo visto todo.
Calculando a ojo, no tendría más de treinta y pocos años.
Hablaba por teléfono y me hubiera gustado estar un poco más cerca de ella, pero un vientecillo fresco me traía palabras sueltas, frases inconexas que mi imaginación descifraba de inmediato con cierta coherencia.
Al principio no entendía nada, pero poco a poco empecé a entenderlo todo.
Hablaba con el noviete, de eso no cabía la menor duda.
- No me fío de ti ni un pelo Carlos, siempre me has dado mala espina, aparte de que siempre has sido un auténtico sinvergüenza.
Ya tenía varios datos, el sujeto se llamaba Carlos y era un presunto sinvergüenza.
La cosa se ponía interesante.
-Por descontado que esta noche iré al BUDA y te cantaré las cuarenta a la cara y muy clarito Carlos para que no quede ningún género de duda.
Te dejo que ya hemos llegado a las Cíes, nos vemos esta noche, canalla.
Hay que reconocer que la chica tenía gran aplomo y cierto carácter.
La seguí entre pasarelas de madera y bellos pinares.
Ya en la playa, se quitó sus sandalias, se quitó su falda completamente negra, y su camisa, completamente blanca y quedó en un bikini que lo enseñaba todo y a la vez no enseñaba nada.
Tenía unas magníficas piernas, demoledoras, diría yo.
La miraba y la miraba y no daba crédito……y en eso me quedé dormido.
Al despertar ella ya no estaba.
Volví al muelle y vi partir barcos y más barcos, pero en ninguno estaba ella.
Cogí el último barco y una cosa tenía muy clara, esa noche estaría en el Buda. ¡Vamos, como hay dios ¡
A las once de la noche hacía guardia en la puerta del BUDA.
Sobre las doce llegaron ellos. El Carlitos era guapo, las cosas como son, pero ella iba con un traje sastre de chaqueta, chaleco y pantalón azul marino de corte muy masculino, una camisa de raya diplomática y un cinturón negro haciendo juego con unos zapatos de cordones.
La quintaesencia de la pura elegancia. Radiante, solo faltaba una alfombra roja para resaltar tanta belleza.
Me senté lo más cerca posible de ellos y me llegaba un aroma fresco a flor de naranja, a madera de cedro…..a vainilla.
No podía oír gran cosa por la música, pero siempre quedan los gestos…..y los gestos siempre son muy elocuentes.
En un momento dado ella se levantó y dijo:
-¡Y una leche ¡ Ahí te quedas.
Eso lo escuché perfectamente. El hizo ademán de retenerla, pero ella de un manotazo retiró la mano de él.
Y se marchó.
Y yo la seguí.
Pero en un cruce de calles la perdí de vista. Volví sobre mis pasos con la esperanza de encontrarla, pero en vano.
Me hubiera gustado saber su nombre……por todo, por nada.
Y ahora una canción de
Leonard Cohen: Closing Time.
A torrential rain period is about over now in Suriname. Because of this, the country had to open the floodgates of its main reservoir called Afobaka Dam that produces nearly all the electricity of the country. But opening the floodgates affect the level of the river and a lot of the neighboring constructions such as the Bergendal Resort in Brokopondo, Suriname.
Een periode van hevige regenval is nu zo goed als voorbij in Suriname. Hierdoor moest het land de sluizen openen van zijn belangrijkste stuwmeer, de Afobaka-dam, dat bijna alle elektriciteit van het land produceert. Maar het openen van de sluizen heeft invloed op het niveau van de rivier en veel van de aangrenzende constructies, zoals het Bergendal Resort in Brokopondo, Suriname.
Um período de chuvas torrenciais está quase acabando no Suriname. Por causa disso, o país teve que abrir as comportas de seu reservatório principal, denominado Barragem de Afobaka, que produz quase toda a eletricidade do país. Mas a abertura das comportas afeta o nível do rio e muitas das construções vizinhas, como o Bergendal Resort em Brokopondo, Suriname.
Un período de lluvias torrenciales está a punto de terminar en Surinam. Debido a esto, el país tuvo que abrir las compuertas de su principal embalse llamado Presa Afobaka que produce casi toda la electricidad del país. Pero la apertura de las compuertas afecta el nivel del río y muchas de las construcciones vecinas, como el Bergendal Resort en Brokopondo, Surinam.
In Suriname sta per terminare un periodo di piogge torrenziali. Per questo motivo, il paese ha dovuto aprire le cateratte del suo bacino principale chiamato Afobaka Dam, che produce quasi tutta l'elettricità del paese. Ma l'apertura delle chiuse influisce sul livello del fiume e su molte delle costruzioni vicine come il Bergendal Resort a Brokopondo, in Suriname.
Une période de pluie torrentielle est sur le point de se terminer au Suriname. Pour cette raison, le pays a dû ouvrir les vannes de son principal réservoir appelé le barrage d'Afobaka qui produit la quasi-totalité de l'électricité du pays. Mais l'ouverture des vannes affecte le niveau de la rivière et de nombreuses constructions voisines telles que le Bergendal Resort à Brokopondo, au Suriname.
Eine sintflutartige Regenzeit ist in Surinam nun vorbei. Aus diesem Grund musste das Land die Schleusen seines Hauptreservoirs namens Afobaka Dam öffnen, das fast den gesamten Strom des Landes produziert. Aber das Öffnen der Schleusen beeinflusst den Pegel des Flusses und viele benachbarte Bauwerke wie das Bergendal Resort in Brokopondo, Surinam.
فترة من الأمطار الغزيرة على وشك الانتهاء في سورينام. وبسبب هذا، اضطرت البلاد إلى فتح بوابات الفيضان في خزانها الرئيسي المسمى سد أفوباكا الذي ينتج كل الكهرباء تقريبا في البلاد. ولكن فتح بوابات الفيضان يؤثر على مستوى النهر والعديد من المباني المجاورة، مثل منتجع بيرغندال في بروكوبوندو، سورينام.
Fushimi-Inari-Taisha est l'un des sanctuaires shinto les plus emblématiques et sacrés de Kyoto, célèbre pour ses milliers de portes torii vermillon qui créent un chemin fascinant jusqu'au mont Inari. Ce magnifique Senbon Torii (Mille Portes Torii) i en fait l'un des sites les plus photographiés et visités de Kyoto. Ces portes, offertes par des entreprises et des particuliers, représentent des prières pour la prospérité et le succès. Chaque porte porte le nom de son donateur, créant ainsi un enregistrement historique unique le long du sentier.
The highlight of the shrine is the rows of torii gates, known as Senbon torii (千本鳥居), "thousand torii". The custom to donate a torii began spreading from the Edo period (1603–1868) to have a wish come true or in gratitude for a wish that came true, with successive gates being added up to the present day by donors out of gratitude. Along the main path there are around 800 torii gates

During the long period of grey gloomy skies we have had in the UK, rather than complain (too much) I got out and about looking for new locations. As a result I happened upon Linwood Common in Lincolnshire, just outside Market Rasen. It's not much more than a large clearing in the woods but I realised it had a lot of potential. The first decent forecast had me heading back. Maybe a bit more mist is required to do it full justice but I spent about three hours there...just loved it. There are already two photos on here from later in the morning. I hope they do justice to the location.
No es ningún secreto que el eléctrico de Guadarrama tiene un encanto intrínseco; pero éste se acrecenta sobremanera cuando sus rieles se hallan cubiertos de nieve. El blanco elemento convierte un paisaje, ya de por sí maravilloso, en algo superior, dejando al descubierto, quizá, la quintaesencia del lugar. Mi amigo Pablo, recién aterrizado desde El Líbano, me pidió conocer un lugar "de paz". Y es que entre los árboles, los senderos, Nuestra de las Nieves y una estación abierta en el periodo de entreguerras, se halla una enorme dosis de paz. Incluso cuando hay muchas personas concentradas en el vestíbulo, anhelando el calor de una chimenea que solo hace acto de presencia, se respira la tranquilidad de un lugar que, por lo que sea, se antoja muy especial. Con sus incidencias y sus alegrías, el eléctrico sigue ahí, y ahí seguirá. Que éste 2020 sea también un lugar de paz para todos.
Puerto de Navacerrada, Madrid. Diciembre de 2019.
During the stay at home period we often take a walk in the neighborhood. Some of the houses xeriscape their front yards, a process of gardening that reduces the need for irrigation.
I found this interesting tree, trimmed and ready for summer. If you look at life, sometimes you get trimmed, but that does not mean you get restricted. It's an opportunity for grow stronger.
I processed a balanced, a paintery, and a photographic HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and applied a Silver Efex Pro 2 filter for an old style look. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Tossa de Mar, La Selva, Girona (Spain).
ENGLISH
Tossa de Mar is a holiday resort located in Catalonia on the Costa Brava, about 95 kilometres north of Barcelona and 100 kilometres south of the French border. It is accessible through Girona airport, some distance north.
There is ample evidence of settlements dating back to the Neolithic period, and it is believed that the area has been continuously populated since that time. Between the 4th century BC and the 1st century BC appeared the first Iberian settlements, followed shortly after by the Romans in the 1st century.
In 966 Tossa is ceded by Count Miró of Barcelona to the Abbey of Ripoll. Some two centuries latter, in 1187 Tossa is granted its charter by the Abbot of Ripoll, coinciding with the building of a church atop Mount Guardí, the remnants of which can still be seen today.
Sometime in the 12th century the mediaeval town was walled off and a castle was built on the highest point of Mt. Guardí, this castle was to be subsequently replaced by a wind mill, and this in turn by a lighthouse which is still operational.
By the year 1500 the first houses were built extra-muros to accommodate population growth. This process was greatly accelerated during the 17th and 18th centuries, shaping an urban configuration which was to remain practically unchanged until the arrival of mass tourism in the 1950s.

Tossa de Mar, también llamado Tossa, es un municipio de 5.260 habitantes (INE 2005) perteneciente a la provincia de Gerona, Cataluña (España). Situada en la comarca de La Selva, su ubicación en la Costa Brava hace que sea un destino turístico importante.
En la bahía de Tossa, posee un recinto amurallado románico, la Vila Vella, en un pequeño promontorio en plena playa con siete torres circulares, se estima su origen en el siglo XII para evitar los ataques de piratas. En su interior los restos de una iglesia y el palacio del gobernador del siglo XIV. Cerca del recinto se encuentran los hallazgos arqueológicos de lo que fuera una villa romana del siglo IV, la villa romana de Els Ametllers. Posee un museo municipal dentro del propio recinto con colecciones arqueológicas, de pintura local y extranjera, escultura y vidrio.
En los años 50, Ava Gardner y James Mason llegaron a la pequeña localidad para rodar "Pandora y el holandés errante" y eso le dio cierta fama al pueblo, en cuyo filme se bautizó "Esperanza".
Marc Chagall la bautizó con el nombre de "Paraíso azul" en 1933.
During the winter period, the waters of the ocean overcome the sands of the beach, giving rise to lagoons from which both the shrubs and the numerous birds that live in this protected area benefit.
Par Gabriel LEBOFF
L’Hiver, période calme ou plus calme en ornithologie; dans quelques semaines nous scruterons le ciel et nos oreilles seront dressées au premier chant du Coucou ou de la Huppe.
Si les derniers hivers ont été moins froids, imaginons quelques instants être à la place d’un oiseau.
Les matins humides et frais, parfois enneigés ou givrants, pas de manteaux ou de doudounes, ni gants ou bonnets, que des plumes.
Les plumes se portent toute l’année, elles peuvent changer de couleur ou de teinte, correctement entretenues elles aideront les migrateurs à traverser océans et montagnes dans les meilleures conditions et les sédentaires entretiendront méticuleusement leurs livrées pour séduire compagnes et compagnons lorsque les beaux jours reviendront.
Au Printemps, elles protégeront les petits des intempéries et le mimétisme du plumage cachera bien des oiseaux des prédateurs terrestres ou ailés.
Et en Hiver, tous les oiseaux, passereaux, limicoles ou rapaces gonfleront leurs plumes pour se protéger du froid glacial ou de l’humidité insidieuse qui s’infiltre partout.
La Mésange, le Pinson ou la Sittelle que nous admirons toute l’année est encore plus visible sur les branches dépouillées et nous avons toutes et tous les photos de ces passereaux aux plumages gonflés près des mangeoires ou perchées près des maisons.
Les rapaces, statues en veille scrutent leur territoire et grossissent leur apparence, font-ils cette coquetterie pour se protéger du froid ou pour renforcer leur terrible aspect ?
L’oiseau au plumage hivernal rond, volumineux et pourquoi pas, lumineux, sera récompensé du magnifique livre de Laurent Geslin « Lynx Regards croisés »
Tout le monde a une photo d’un oiseau mazérien en Hiver, tous les hivers depuis 2014 sont des opportunités de fouiller dans nos nombreuse mémoires et n’oublions jamais que la meilleure photo est la prochaine … l’Hiver est là !

Almost 3 weeks ago we had over 11,000 lightning strikes over a 72 hour period. Over 300 fires were started in California. Several of the fires are called "Complexes" because they combine several fires in close proximity. The two largest are over 375,000 acres each. The total of all Cal Fire Incidents is 1.8 million acres.

Rail Adventure's 43480 emerges from the Great Western booking hall which spans the lines between platforms 2 and 3 at Tyseley at dusk on a chilly Friday evening. The 125 Group in association with RA and Chiltern Railways had organised this tour reminiscent of the Master Cutler in connection with the 125th Anniversary of the opening of London Marylebone. 1Z46 was due a crew change here and with that duly completed the tour departed this delightful station which is packed with period features of the railways of yesteryear.

The current City Hall for the city of St. Louis, having housed city government since 1898, is a landmark by appearance, reputation and city designation (since 1971). Efforts to build what would become the current City Hall (seen above) got underway in May 1888 when the City Hall Commission was formed. On April 4, 1889, an ordinance was passed to authorize the Commission to advertise for bids for the building. The original cost was not to exceed one million dollars. The commission chose the design of George Richard Mann, of the firm Eckel & Mann of St. Joseph, from the 37 national entries. His design was titled "St. Louis 1892", obviously expecting it to be completed by 1892. A French-style plan, inspired by the Hotel de Ville or City Hall of Paris, with ornamental dormer windows and former towers, it also recalled architectural elements of the Chateau de Chambord on the Loire River in France.
The construction of City Hall started July 19, 1890, with Mayor Edward Noonan's daughter Zoe, breaking ground. The cornerstone was laid on June 6, 1891. No bond issue was passed to finance construction of the new City Hall, explaining the 14 years required to finish the building. Funds came from general revenue and the sale of city property. Every year or two, the Council, would authorize an average of $110, 000 to continue construction. An ordinance was passed on Sept, 10, 1893 to limit the total cost at two million dollars. Though the building was not completed, it was finally occupied on April 11, 1898 when Mayor Henry Ziegenhein headed a ceremonial parade of city officials from the old building to their offices in the new City Hall. In 1904, the final portions of the building were completed, the Rotunda, the Tucker Boulevard vestibule and the grand staircase, using the design by the St. Louis architectural firm of Weber & Groves. The building was officially completed on Nov. 5, 1904 when Mayor Rolla Wells held an open house for the residents of St. Louis. The final cost of the building was $1,787,159.16. However, the exterior of City Hall was never quite finished. All sides of the building have ornamental dormers called belvederes, each having bare spaces of limestone. These were meant to have carved decorations, yet remained untouched probably due to lack of funds. Despite its incomplete state, City Hall was praised for its "splendid architectural composition," and called "an impressive period piece of craftsmanship". Unfortunately, a poorly executed acid cleaning and years of exposure to coal smoke has left the original pink and orange exterior tarnished.

I also should finish my math review homework, i only have a few questions left, but its like my brain gave up. Oh well, we're going over it in class. I have a math test tomorrow. ugggh.
I also have history homework to do. My review sheet. It is due in class which is 9th period so i have awhile, yet i need to study cause the test is also Wednesday.
My school sucks, literally. There was a school board meeting last night, and it was about how they might take out all the art courses in our school so that they can be replaced for the football team. Our football team sucks, we loose every game.
Oh and i finished reading Awakening. It was absolutly amazing. The ending was a little abrupt, but dont fret, Destined will be released in November.
My ipod is acting up. The internet is acting up even though i have Wi-Fi...looks like i might have to call Apple, and Geek Squad.
Hence this is called the Art of Complaints
Well with my love of period dramas I think this landscape is very fitting to the lake scene from Pride and Prejudice 'oh Mr Darcy'
Il Museo della Bambola della Rocca di Angera, fondato nel 1988 per volere della Principessa Bona Borromeo Arese, espone oltre mille bambole realizzate a partire dal XVIII secolo fino ad oggi.
Le bambole sono poste all’interno di vere e proprie case di bambola arredate e di negozi in miniatura; i materiali con cui sono state realizzate sono dei più svariati, tra cui legno, cera, cartapesta, porcellana e tessuto.
Oltre ad una ricchissima esposizione di bambole d’epoca e contemporanee, grazie alla quale il Museo si colloca tra i più importanti d’Europa nel settore, è altresì possibile visitare una sezione dedicata ai giocattoli provenienti da culture extraeuropee e una collezione di automi francesi e tedeschi del XIX secolo proveniente dalla collezione Petit Muesée du Costume di Tours.
The Doll Museum in the Rocca of Angera was founded in 1988 by the wish of Princess Bona Borromeo Arese, and displays over a thousand dolls made between the 18th century and the present day.
The dolls, which are displayed inside furnished dolls’ houses and miniature shops, are made of all kinds of material, including wood, wax, papier-mâché, china and cloth.
In addition to the wealth of period and contemporary dolls on display, which places the Museum among the most important in Europe in this sector, there is also a section devoted to toys from non-European cultures as well as a collection of 19th century French and German automatons from the collection of the Petit Musée du Costume of Tours.
Combination of 15 liter tank, nitrox and relaxed diving rules imposed by S.M.Y. Ondina helped me to enjoy one of the best 20 minutes underwater I ever had - everyone in the group surfaced after dive near manta cleaning station, I was only one remaining and enjoyed really close interaction with one black and one white mantas, swimming together with them just less then half meter apart - I was trying to get in front of manta for frontal shot, but it was not letting me, by increasing speed to match mine and to stay close. It was great fun. Typically if many people are underwater simultaneously mantas are really shy and don't want to play, and divers try to keep low profile not to scary off mantas. This time I had luxury to be in the water just by myself for extended period of time, and was allowed by these giants to swim together, not just to sit on the floor.
In addition to that it was fist time I saw black mantas - they are more difficult to photoghraph due to lack of contrast white belly provides, but nether less are very magnificent animals.
