City landscape of Nizhny Novgorod.
Kanavinsky Bridge is the oldest permanent crossing over the Oka and Grebnevsky Canal in Nizhny Novgorod. It is located at 1.2 km of the river, next to the Strelka - the confluence of the Oka and Volga. It connects two parts of the city - Nagornaya and Zarechnaya. Initially it was called Pakhomovsky, then after a short time it became Oksky, and after the opening of the second Molitovsky bridge in 1965, it was renamed Kanavinsky - after the name of the district.
Until the beginning of the 19th century. the townspeople traveled to the Kanavino area and back by ferry and boats, and in winter they crossed over the ice. The urgent need for a crossing between the two banks of the Oka was ripe after the fair was moved to the other side - to the Zarechnaya part of Nizhny Novgorod, to Strelka. From mid-July to early September, the Gostiny Dvor was visited by more than 150 thousand people, while the city's population was no more than 18 thousand inhabitants. The decision to build a permanent crossing was made in 1920, but work began only 10 years later. The bridge was built in Nizhny Novgorod in 1.5 years from 1932 to 1933, but the official time frame is 5 years. The Kanavinsky Bridge has an arched structure: the load is distributed between six arches, over which transport and pedestrian traffic is carried out. The massive pillars are made of metal concrete, the road surface is made of asphalt concrete. The Kanavinsky Bridge is 795.5 m long and 23.6 m wide.
The arch bridge survived two German bombings and escaped serious damage thanks to the use of a smoke screen. In the post-war years, the coating and structures were repaired several times, but without blocking traffic.
Wave after wave
Will flow with the tide
And bury the world as it does
Tide after tide
Will flow and recede
Leaving life to go on
As it was......

Kunstgewerbemuseum (Museum of Decorative Arts),
Berlin
"Das Kunstgewerbemuseum ist das älteste seiner Art in Deutschland. Es beherbergt weltberühmte Zeugnisse des europäischen Kunsthandwerks und Designs, darunter prunkvolle Reliquiare aus Gold und Edelstein, kostbare Vasen aus Glas oder Porzellan, fein bestickte Kleider, detailreich intarsierte Möbel bis hin zu Klassikern modernen Industriedesigns. (...)
Das Haus am Kulturforum entstand bis 1985 nach den Entwürfen von Rolf Gutbrod, einem der führenden deutschen Architekten der 1960er-Jahre. Kennzeichnend für seine Architektur ist die Sichtbarkeit konstruktiver Elemente. Das Museum ist als "gebaute Landschaft" gedacht und nimmt mit seiner Begrünung Bezug auf den benachbarten Tiergarten. Während das Gebäude nach außen geschlossen wirkt, empfängt es den Eintretenden mit einem offenen Treppenhaus und großzügigen Ausstellungsräumen. (...)
Von 2012 bis 2014 wurde der Gutbrot-Bau vom Architekturbüro Kuehn Malvezzi in weiten Teilen umgestaltet." www.smb.museum/museen-und-einrichtungen/kunstgewerbemuseu...
Para ti, Juanjo...
Cuando me advertías en Toledo, que enfocar en macrofotografía era una especie de arte iniciático reservado a los más finos estilistas de la fotografía, creí sinceramente que exagerabas un poco.
Algunos días espués, cuando empecé a pelear con mi/tu fabuloso Nikkor 105mm f/2.8, no podía evitar una lucha feroz entre el cabreo primero y las carcajadas después, viendo como el autoenfoque se volvía loco y yo sentía tentaciones de pedir hora al psiquiatra porque, directamente, no había quien lograse enfocar donde me proponía enfocar.
Todo ello aderezado con un poco de viento, de posturas corporales inverosímiles y de encuadres con fondos sin ninguna clase de atractivo, lograron que mis primeras excursiones e incursiones en el alucinante (textualmente) mundo de la macrofotografía, fuesen una mezcla muy peculiar entre vía crucis, carcajada permanente, pelea a muerte con un sistema de autoenfoque fotográfico y dolor de piernas por los prolongados ratos en cuclillas.
Pero como todo en esta vida, a base de ensayo-error, uno va aprendiendo a corregir lo que hace mal, hasta que llega el día en que, ¡por fin!, consigue una obra medianamente presentable.
Para Juanjo Zamora, mi amigo.

CONCORSO FOTOGRAFICO TOURING CLUB 2016: LA MIA FOTO IN GARA(se qualcuno vuole votarla, basta iscriversi e poi si può dare il voto entro 15 novembre 2016. Grazie a chi lo farà).

There was a time when we thought that the Anglican Church was as unchangeable and as permanent as the English weather, that the red telephone cubicle was part of an identifiable English character, and that the equally red letter box would be eternal.
"Oh, oh, you think you're special
Oh, oh, you think you're something else"
The Anglican Church is no longer what it used to be - and its majority is no longer "English". English weather is now a matter of unpredictable surprises, telephone cubicles have been superseded by smart phones, and the Royal Mail is neither royal nor reliable in its delivery of letters. And the English character? You tell me. We in the UK are living among fossilised objects, and if new life is springing up it will in all likelihood have little to do with the Anglican Church, the Royal Mail and Englishness. Let me put it bluntly, it is immigration that is blowing new life into a sclerotised and inelastic body. Leica M8, Voigtlaender 35/1.4.
Penticton's waterfront and the Romp-Sculpures on Okanagan Lake. On the far right is the S.S. Sicamous Museum and Heritage Park. The ships on display in the park are the S. S. Sicamous a passenger and cargo vessel, the S. S. Naramata and Canadian National Number 6, both tugboats. The tugboats would push large barges loaded with railroad cars to the various communities along the lake. The Steam Ship Sicamous is a large steel-hulled sternwheeler, built for the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1914, and is now permanently beached on Okanagan Lake in Penticton.
First permanent establishments
In 1635, the first seigneurie was granted on the territory of Cape-Rouge, but revoked the following year by the Company of One Hundred Associates. However, by 1638 Paul Le Jeune, a missionary Jesuit, had noted in The Jesuit Relations the presence of some families in the valley.[1] Between 1647 and 1652, the seigneuries of Maur, on the west, and Gaudarville, in the east, were established on the territory. From that moment, based on taxable citizens, the settlement on the lands of Cap-Rouge are established. The village formed is served by the parishes of Ancienne-Lorette in (1678) to the north; of Saint-Augustin in (1691) on the west; and of Sainte-Foy (1698) in the east.
Geography
The beach of Plage Jacques Cartier and the cliffs of Cap-Rouge.
The name of Cap-Rouge, meaning "red cape", comes from its cliffs facing the Saint-Lawrence river and made of schist rock bearing a reddish tint. The other main topographic feature of Cap-Rouge is the Rivière du Cap Rouge valley where are concentrated some historic buildings as well the archeological remains of a pottery workshop active from 1860 to 1892. It is believed that until the end of its operations the workshop mainly used imported clay rather than the local one, which has a rather red hue.
The Cap-Rouge area is located to the south of the Canadian Shield and Laurentian Mountains, at the confluence of the geological regions of the Saint Lawrence Lowlands and of the northern Appalachians. It mostly sits at the western foot of the Quebec promontory, in the way of the Logan's Line - an inactive fracture in the Earth's crust first documented by Sir William Edmond Logan.
Out there in the distant and lush NW corner of Mount Rainier National Park Ranger Falls dances to the tune of angels cascading off of boulders and downed trees with a roar and a wet wind to an audience of none. One of the four remaining fire lookouts, perched upon Tolmie Peak, with one of the most magnificent views of the volcano sits abandoned, and access to the popular lake and campground which is a major resupply for the Wonderland Trail, Mowich, is cut off leaving me utterly heartbroken.
On April 14th the once beautiful 494 foot arched bridge that soars 250 feet above the Carbon River and the only public access point to 1/4 of MRNP was closed indefinitely and now....permanently as the 103 year old O'Farrell/Fairfax Bridge that is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places has become just that, historic.
I've been ranting for years about the way we've been hemorrhaging money on new schools and new fire stations as far as the eye can see while I drive like a drunken sailor, no offense Phil, to avoid the potholes and say silent prayers every time I cross a bridge. As Tobey Keith once said, the fits gonna hit the shan around here and it's about time.

Palm trees are about the only things that do well when a particularly bad hurricane comes through, and this time, even many of those didn't make it when Matthew blew his 140 mph winds at them! These beauties at Ames Park managed to hold on, though, as they have done for a very long time.
This was the first hurricane I've seen that had the power to break 2 1/2 foot wide cedars off at the base of the trunk, and snap palms in half. Usually they just bend, and the storms actually do them a favor by cleaning the old fronds off. Not this time. Many of Florida's hardiest trees were downed by Hurricane Matthew.
.........or the populous streets in which they have played, remain but a place of passage. They may spend their whole lives aliens among their kindred and remain aloof among the only scenes they have ever knows. Perhaps it is this sense of strangeness that sends men far and wide in the search for something permanent, to which they may attach themselves. Perhaps some deep-rooted atavism urges the wanderer back to lands which his ancestors left in the dim beginnings of history. Sometimes a man hits upon a place to which he mysteriously feels that he belongs. Here is the home he sought, and he will settle amid scenes that he has never seen before, among men he has never known, as though they were familiar to him from his birth. Here at last he finds rest.

Permanent guest in our apartment, and as a cat food gourmet appreciated the treats we brought from Germany. The landlady found him as little cat with disabilities in the forest ("il bosco"), took him home and brought him up. Absolutely trusting and cuddly, his handicap makes him even more lovable - quite a little heartbreaker!
Dauergast in unserer Ferienwohnung, wußte als Feinschmecker die mitgebrachten Leckerlis zu schätzen. Die Vermieterin hat ihn als kleine Katze mit Behinderung im Wald ("il bosco") gefunden, mitgenommen und aufgezogen. Total zutraulich und verschmust, seine Behinderung macht ihn noch liebenswürdiger - ein richtiger kleiner Herzensbrecher!
