"Persistence is what keeps you hanging on when hanging on gets tough." Debasish Mridha.
In the province of Verona, not far from the famous Lago di Garda, hanging from the rocks of Monte Baldo and overlooking the valley of the River Adige, we can find one of the most impressive Christian sanctuaries in all of Europe. Known today as the "Santuario Madonna della Corona", this building has superbly survived the pass of the centuries, despite its delicate location.
Although the current appearance of the architectural complex is due, in large part, to a fantastic restoration that took place in the 1970s, already in the 13th century a monastery of hermit monks existed in this place. The arrival of more and more pilgrims to this secluded and quiet place, led to the completion in 1530 of the first church, on which the current one stands.
The serene beauty of the sanctuary site increases even more at dawn, when the sunlight reaches the cliff, giving the scene warm pinkish tones. Without a doubt, a wonderful place to contemplate and photograph the harmony that sometimes arises between nature and human constructions.

"La perseverancia es lo que te mantiene aferrado cuando aguantar se vuelve difícil". Debasish Mridha.
En la provincia de Verona, no muy lejos del famoso Lago di Garda, colgando de las rocas del Monte Baldo y con vistas al valle del Río Adige, se encuentra uno de los santuarios cristianos más impresionantes de toda Europa. Conocido hoy con el nombre de "Santuario Madonna della Corona", este edificio ha sobrevivido de forma magnífica al paso de los siglos, a pesar de su delicada ubicación.
Aunque el aspecto actual del complejo arquitectónico se debe, en buena parte, a una fantástica restauración que tuvo lugar en la década de los 70 del siglo pasado, ya en el siglo XIII existía en este lugar un monasterio de monjes eremitas. La llegada de más y más peregrinos a este recóndito y tranquilo lugar, llevó a la finalización en 1530 de la primera iglesia, sobre la que se levanta la actual.
La serena belleza del emplazamiento del santuario, aumenta aún más al amanecer, cuando la luz del sol alcanza el acantilado, dotando a la escena de cálidos tonos rosáceos. Sin duda, un lugar maravilloso para contemplar y fotografiar la armonía, que a veces surge, entre la naturaleza y las construcciones del ser humano.
This week has been pretty great. I had a lot of extra free time this week to really go hard and get out to shoot. I've literally been out shooting every day/night since Sunday the 24th. The weather gods blessed the PNW with some great cloud formations and sunset colors alike.
This week I told myself I would try a different location every time I went out to shoot. Of course I went all out with weather maps and the TPE for sunset/moon times. But really I just looked at the sky and picked my spot. It just happened to work out every time I went out. I've said it before but the work I've put in seems to be finally paying off.
I'm buying a new computer and have been looking at the Apple with the 5k display. Any recommendations would be awesome!
"Persistence" - Exodus Fleet Mobile Construction Yard
Length: 105 studs
Number of parts: not a clue
This is where most vessels in the Exodus fleet are constructed and repaired. The mobile refinery supplies the construction yard with refined metal from nearby asteroids.
Currently a batch of fighters are loaded up for testing in the main hangar. In the mid ship construction dock a new Attack Frigate is under construction.
This is my SHIPtember SHIP for 2016. My goal was to use that big yellow Duplo part, and use some kind of lighting. The ship's interior is somewhat lit up by a EL-wire and the construction dock is lit by lifelites.

"Hunter's Persistence: In the midst of a rainy day, a determined great egret diligently scans the damp shores, in search of a hidden treasure. Its keen eyes pierce through the mist, focused on unearthing a hidden worm, showcasing the unwavering persistence of nature's skilled hunter."

As much as I rave about the big views in Bruce Peninsula, there really is so much more to find. I just love the Eastern white cedar that you can find gripping rock and cliff faces throughout the park. In fact, I believe the oldest tree in Ontario is an eastern white cedar within the park. I love the winding and rolling roots and trunks you find all over the barren rock. It's really quite pretty if you can pull your eyes away from the obvious views in the park.

After finding this waterfall along a logging road that ran off another logging road several months ago, it took me four attempts to get down to this area by the base of the falls.
Persistence of Time
For a few people time never flies. It never changes. Case in point is this brick factory worker.
She stands motionless, as the Salvador Dali painted stack of clouds whisk by her in a hurry, leaving her state unchanged. She has been destined to be a brick worker for her entire lifetime.
Persistence of Time indeed.

NS 5343 sits in the siding in Manhattan with the BH45. For the past few days I tried going down here after night class to see if there would be anything sitting over here, and each time I had no luck. But with ATCS and a little bit of caffeine, I was able to watch this guy late at night get a lineup across CP Ridge and south on the Wabash, allowing me to drive down the next morning and have it sitting here waiting for me. 6/24/16
This is a repost so sorry if you have already seen it
I tried a new medium for this paiting- India Ink- while it produces brighter colors, it is a bit of a nightmare to work with as it functions more like a stain and you have to really works in layers, otherwise one ends up with a bunch of splotches that makes the painting unuseable. Anyways, it took a good 12 hours and I am not sure I will have another 12 hours coming up anytime soon to paint witht the medium again

I was hunting for small things to shoot for this week when I came across my box of old watch parts. This particular cog (about 1cm across) had a bend in it that reminded my of some of Salvador Dali's work (the one with the melting clocks!). I'm certainly no art buff ~ my sister had posters of his paintings way back when... but just a persistent enough memory to provide inspiration!!
