Today saw the last of the first batch of Yutongs delivered this year, but unlike the others that started, 213-7 are the larger Yutong E12 and are for the 48, replacing E400s 637-9, alongside the new buses, the 48 now has a PVR of 5 and runs every 15 minutes, 213 had the honours of being the first bus out today, but due to a technical issue, it was replaced with 215 at 10:45.

A history of Taormina.
Her name was Cheryl and she was 65, he was called Christopher and he was 59, they both came from Australia; before reaching Taormina, in Sicily, they had traveled far and wide in various European countries, finally they came to Italy to visit some cities of art and tourism such as Florence, Rome, Sorrento, Amalfi ... the reason for this great to wander? The answer will be known after their tragic ending: to look for a "beautiful place" where they can die ... They weren't married, they didn't behave like lovers or boyfriends do, they certainly were good friends, or maybe they were simply a so-called open couple. Physically and temperamentally they were the exact opposite: Cheryl was sunny, cheerful, decidedly nice, a little chubby, overweight, she loved to wear large handkerchiefs which she then tied on top of her head to form showy bows, Christopher instead was a bit skittish , closed and sad, of few words, thin, tall, with possibly gay attitudes, but both were very friendly, so much so that they had made friends above all with the hotel staff, indeed, to be honest, they made small gifts, they were objects of good workmanship that they had brought with them and bought somewhere, demonstrating their sincere attachment (they had chosen a famous hotel in Taormina, staying in a Junior Suite - Sea View, in Taormina they should have stayed a week, later they would go to Syracuse). On the day of departure, 02-October -2013, at 14.00, Cheryl and Christopher do not show up in the hall to hand over the keys to the room, with extreme embarrassment the assistant manager of the hotel and the housekeeper go to knock on their door , over and over again, and seeing that they do not answer, they open the door with the electronic passe-partout: as soon as they enter they see reflected in the mirror the shape of their bodies that appear stretched out in bed, motionless: quick and convulsive thousand questions pile up in the mind of the two women, the housekeeper is terrified and runs away, while the lady assistant director must be able to understand what is happening and approaches, what she sees is a surreal scene: they are clearly dead, lying and rigid on the bed, they are not hugging each other , however, they are lying next to each other, under them, to cover the blankets and sheets of the bed, they have placed a large sheet of cellophane, like the one used by painters, to prevent any the humors freed from lifeless bodies, could dirty; on the back of the bed hung a row of Halloween flags, with printed skulls, and, among these, other flags, those used for birthday parties, each with a letter forming the phrase "dance of death"; on the bedside table there were two empty bottles (200 - 300 ml), which each contained a lethal substance, there were keys (for the locks of the suitcases), and a letter, in which they reported their last wishes: they left the money to honor the hotel expenses, they donated the contents of their suitcases to the hotel, and finally asked forgiveness for the inconvenience that their extreme action would certainly have caused to the hotel. The scant news on the web at the time (all photocopies of a single article) reported that both suffered from serious health problems, but that was not the case, certainly there was some minor ailment, but nothing really serious and unsolvable. Cheryl and Cristopher now lie in the cemetery of Taormina, higher up, closer to the sky than to the earth, even with the high ladder it is not easy to get close, even if only to lay a flower, the Australian embassy was contacted, but no one asked that their bodies were repatriated to their homeland, Australia.
Saint Augustine does not seem to say "those who sing, pray twice", but it would be nice to think that I, in posting my photos and dedicating them to them, maybe I am praying for them.
Post Scriptum: I thank Mrs. Luisa, without her I would never have been able to reconstruct the last hours of their lives with some accuracy, the news on the web is imprecise and laconic; many thanks to mr. Bambara, a funeral director, who having buried their bodies in 2013, showed me, accompanying me in person, where exactly their location is.
All the photos I present were taken in the town of Taormina and its surroundings (Sicily); I made photos related to "street photography";
I tried to capture the essence of minimal photographic stories, collected walking down the street ... in search of fleeting moments ...
For some photographs I used a particular photographic technique at the time of shooting, which in addition to capturing the surrounding space, also "inserted" a temporal dimension, with photos characterized by being moved because the exposure times were deliberately lengthened, they are confused -focused-imprecise-undecided ... the Anglo-Saxon term that encloses this photographic genre with a single word is "blur", these images were thus created during the shooting phase, and not as an effect created subsequently, in retrospect, in the post-production.

Una storia di Taormina.
Lei si chiamava Cheryl ed aveva 65 anni, lui si chiamava Christopher ed aveva 59 anni, entrambi provenivano dall’Australia; prima di giungere a Taormina, in Sicilia, avevano girato in lungo ed in largo in vari paesi d’Europa, infine giunsero in Italia per visitare alcune città d’arte e turismo come Firenze, Roma, Sorrento, Amalfi… il motivo di questo gran girovagare? La risposta si saprà dopo il loro tragico epilogo: cercare un “posto bello” dove poter morire…Non erano sposati, non si comportavano come fanno gli amanti od i fidanzati, certamente erano dei buoni amici, o forse erano semplicemente una cosiddetta coppia aperta. Fisicamente e caratterialmente erano l’esatto opposto: Cheryl era solare, allegra, decisamente simpatica, un po’ pienotta, sovrappeso, amava indossare dei grandi fazzoletti che poi annodava in cima al capo a formare dei vistosi fiocchi, Christopher invece era un po’ ombroso, chiuso e triste, di poche parole, magro, segaligno, alto, con atteggiamenti forse da gay, però entrambi erano molto cordiali, tant’è che avevano fatto amicizia soprattutto col personale d’albergo, anzi, a dirla tutta, acostoro facevano dei piccoli regali, erano oggetti di buona fattura che avevano portato con se ed acquistati chissà dove, a dimostrazione del loro sincero attaccamento (avevano scelto un famoso albergo di Taormina, alloggiando in una Junior Suite –Vista Mare, a Taormina sarebbero dovuti restare una settimana, dopo si sarebbero recati a Siracusa). Il giorno della partenza, il 02-ottobre -2013, alle ore 14,00, Cheryl e Christopher non si presentano nella hall a consegnare le chiavi della stanza, con estremo imbarazzo la vicedirettrice dell’albergo e la governante vanno a bussare alla loro porta, più e più volte, e, vedendo che non rispondono, aprono la porta con il passe-partout elettronico: appena entrate vedono riflessa nello specchio la sagoma dei loro corpi che appaiono distesi nel letto, immobili: rapide e convulse mille domande si affastellano nella mente delle due donne, la governante è terrorizzata e fugge via, mentre la vicedirettrice deve poter capire cosa sta succedendo e si avvicina, quello che vede è una scena surreale: loro sono chiaramente morti, distesi e rigidi sul letto, non sono tra loro abbracciati, però sono coricati l’uno accanto all’altra, sotto di loro, a coprire le coperte e le lenzuola del letto, hanno posto un grande foglio di cellophane, come quello che usano gli imbianchini, per evitare che eventuali umori liberatisi dai corpi esanimi, potessero sporcare; sulla spalliera del letto era appesa una fila di bandierine di Halloween, coi teschi stampati, e, tra queste, altre bandierine, quelle che si usano per le feste di compleanno, ognuna con una lettera a formare la frase “dance of death” (la danza della morte); sul comodino c’erano due flaconi (200 – 300 ml) svuotati, che contenevano ognuno una sostanza letale, c’erano delle chiavi (per le serrature delle valigie), ed una lettera, nella quale riportavano le loro ultime volontà: lasciavano i soldi per onorare le spese dell’albergo, donavano all’albergo il contenuto delle loro valigie, ed infine chiedevano perdono per il disagio che il loro gesto estremo avrebbe certamente arrecato all’albergo. Le scarne notizie sul web di allora (tutti articoli fotocopia di un solo articolo) riportarono che entrambi soffrivano di gravi problemi di salute, ma le cose non stavano così, certo qualche piccolo malanno c’era, ma nulla di veramente grave ed irrisolvibile. Cheryl e Cristopher adesso giacciono nel cimitero di Taormina, in alto, più vicini al cielo che alla terra, neanche con la scala alta è facile avvicinarsi, anche solo per deporvi un fiore, fu contattata l’ambasciata australiana, ma nessuno chiese che i loro corpi venissero rimpatriati nella loro patria, l’Australia.
Sant’Agostino sembra non disse “chi canta prega due volte”, ma sarebbe bello pensare che io, nel postare le mie foto e nel dedicarle a loro, forse io stia ugualmente pregando per loro.
Post Scriptum: ringrazio la signora Luisa, senza di lei non sarei mai riuscito a ricostruire con una certa accuratezza le ultime ore della loro vita, sul web le notizie sono imprecise e laconiche; ringrazio il sig. Bambara, impresario di pompe funebri, che avendone tumulato i loro corpi nell’anno 2013, mi ha indicato, accompagnandomi di persona, dove si trova esattamente la loro ubicazione.
Tutte le foto che presento sono state realizzate nella cittadina di Taormina e nei suoi dintorni (Sicilia);
ho realizzato foto riconducibili alla “street photography”;
ho cercato di cogliere al volo l’essenza di storie fotografiche minime, raccolte camminando per la strada ... alla ricerca di attimi fugaci s-fuggenti ...
Ho utilizzato per alcune fotografie una tecnica fotografica particolare al momento dello scatto, che oltre a catturare lo spazio circostante, ha "inserito" anche una dimensione temporale, con foto caratterizzate dall’essere mosse poiché volutamente sono stati allungati i tempi di esposizione, sono confuse-sfocate-imprecise-indecise...il termine anglosassone che racchiude con una sola parola questo genere fotografico è "blur", queste immagini sono state così realizzate in fase di scatto, e non come un effetto creato successivamente, a posteriori, in fase di post-produzione.

Haven't been out to find pics, but this was right overhead one night! Taken 23rd March 2014. I am in the southern hemisphere, in the northern hemisphere, this image would be reversed. CANON SX50 HS
Die evangelisch-lutherische Basilika Altenkrempe, einem Dorf nördlich von Neustadt in Holstein, ist eine dreischiffige Basilika im Stil der Backsteinromanik. Die Datierung des Baubeginns ist nicht gesichert, da Baudaten nicht überliefert sind. Aufgrund der Ähnlichkeiten zum Ratzeburger Dom und der Verwendung des Baumittels Backstein ist eine Datierung des ersten Bauabschnitts auf den Anfang des 13. Jahrhunderts anzunehmen. Die Basilika gilt als architektonisches Vorbild für die Nikolaikirche in Mölln. Unterschiede in der Bauausführung zeigen, dass zwischen Errichtung von Chor und Langhaus einige Zeit vergangen sein muss. Viel von der mittelalterlichen Ausstattung ist nicht mehr vorhanden, da die Ausstattung barock überarbeitet wurde. Das älteste Ausstattungsstück der Basilika ist das Taufbecken aus dem 13. Jahrhundert. Die Pokalform ist für mittelalterliche Bronzenfünten in Schleswig-Holstein einmalig. Die Bronzekuppa steht auf einem Sockel aus gotländischem Kalkstein. Das größte der in die Kuppa eingelassenen goldenen Medaillons zeigt eine Kreuzigungsgruppe, die übrigen Apostel. Die übrige Kirchenausstattung stammt aus nachreformatorischer Zeit. Die Kanzel ist auf 1687 datiert. In den Brüstungsfeldern des vierseitigen Kanzelkorbes stehen geschnitzte Evangelistenfiguren im manieristischen Stil. Der sechseckige Schalldeckel wird von einer Figur des Salvators bekrönt. Das barocke Altarretabel von 1741 hat in seiner Mitte ein Gemälde von etwa 1900, das Christus zeigt.

The Protestant-Lutheran basilica at Altenkrempe, a village north of Neustadt in Holstein, is a three-aisled basilica in the brick Romanesque style. The dating of the start of construction is not certain, as construction dates have not survived. Due to the similarities to Ratzeburg Cathedral and the use of brick as a building material, the first construction phase can be dated to the beginning of the 13th century. The basilica is considered to be the architectural model for the St Nicholas' Church in Mölln. Differences in the construction show that some time must have passed between the construction of the choir and nave. Much of the medieval furnishings no longer exist, as the furnishings were reworked in the Baroque style. The oldest piece of equipment in the basilica is the baptismal font from the 13th century. The cup shape is unique for medieval bronze fonts in Schleswig-Holstein. The bronze font stands on a pedestal made of Gothic limestone. The largest of the golden medallions set into the font shows a crucifixion group, the others apostles. The rest of the church furnishings date from the post-Reformation period. The pulpit is dated 1687. The spandrels of the four-sided pulpit basket contain carved figures of evangelists in the Mannerist style. The hexagonal sounding board is crowned by a figure of the Saviour. The Baroque altarpiece from 1741 has a painting of Christ from around 1900 in its centre.

Finally, my last eclipse image.
This is a composite of the images that I took as the moon covered the sun. The moon took the first bite out of the lower left of the sun's disk and the images proceed clockwise around to the bottom with my totality image in the center. The images then continue clockwise to the sun's disk with the small bite on the upper right.
Rock and sandstone patterns, Panther Beach, Davenport California. Yes, its a bit of a mess, but kind of a pretty mess. The Taffoni-like sandstone patterns at this location have always attracted my eye, so I spent some time studying the patterns, settling on an abstract composition of this small alcove lit up by the sun just as it touched the horizon.
Shan, I could not get chrome silver to look right in a render, so this is medium azure with metallic silver.
