Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Mathew 6,26

It seems so long ago now
That I was sitting here
Taking in everything
Taking in everything
I stopped to look around me
As far as I could see
Across this precious land
Shadows painted by the sun
I don't think I remember
How long I waited here
Watching everything
Watching everything
My thoughts began to wander
Then I realized
Every moment I had lived
Everything that I had seen
Pass like this moment now
Pass like this moment now
Its clear to me as now
Is the moment when I knew
That I can let go
Its time to let it go
With it came the feeling
Strange I'd waited for it
I think all my life
A thousand words brace for it
From my very soul I didn't feel alone.

Lights and shadows in architecture is one of the thing that fI find more fascinating.
I wish to dedicate this shot (a very .. fresh! one - just taken on the way back home from work :-) - to all the photographers who are making my new group - urbanabstractions - a great one! (well, may be I shouldn't say it, but ... I'm so happy about it, so, please, forgive me! ;-D)
Thank you very, very much, and .. keep on posting!
btw - the horizontal line in the shot is an electric string - I was going to remove it, but then I found that somehow it could fit the composition ...
Last, but .. not least!:
what music fits architecture?
this is a very interesting new topic posted by daruma* in urbanabstractions discussions;
he proposed this one:
Zbigniew Preisner - L'Aurore - what is your favourite one?

PARCO NAZIONALE GRAN PARADISO...NATIONAL PARK GRAN PARADISO
La dura vita della volpe in inverno.
Angelo Branduardi
La Volpe
Sento già l'inverno venire
e nell'aria c'è odore di neve,
silenziosa sul bosco cadrà
e lo coprirà...
Per il gelo gli alberi chini,
questa notte so che la volpe è venuta,
del suo passo lungo il sentiero
è rimasta l'orma...
Si è fermata là sull'altura
l'aria annusando indecisa,
si è ritratta poi tremando un po'
di paura
Ecco che l'inverno è venuto,
sul mio bosco è caduta la neve,
ora il gelo prenderà anche il fiume
e lo fermerà...
Lenti voli di corvi neri,
questa notte so che la volpe è venuta,
inseguendo lungo il sentiero
una vaga traccia...
Si è fermata là sull'altura
l'aria annusando indecisa,
si è ritratta poi tremando un po'
di paura
Grazie Ilario: senza di te e la tua macchina questo scatto non sarebbe stato possibile.

Il nucleo più antico di Passignano sul Trasimeno è ancora oggi cinto dalle cerchia di mura medioevali che testimoniano in modo significativo lo sviluppo che il centro subì da piccolo borgo agricolo durante l'Impero romano al castello che, dopo la Signoria di Uguccione II nel 917, venne a lungo conteso fra Arezzo, Perugia e Firenze.
Pochi sono gli edifici storici della cittadina a causa delle distruzioni dovute ai bombardamenti della II guerra mondiale, rimangono infatti la quattrocentesca chiesa di San Rocco e quella eretta solo pochi anni più tardi, di San Bernardino. Da Passignano si raggiunge in pochi minuti di battello l'Isola Maggiore, sul Lago Trasimeno.
Excelente tarde na companhia do meu grande amigo Zedith!! Grande abraço

What is it? It's the No Chance Saloon. It's Bedrock Bar, The End of the Line Cafe, The Bottom of the Sea Rathskeller! Don't you notice the beautiful calm in the atmosphere? That's because it's the last harbor. No one here has to worry about where they're going next, because there is no farther they can go. It's a great comfort to them. Although even here they keep up the appearances of life with a few harmless pipe dreams about their yesterdays and tomorrows, as you'll see for yourself if you're here long.
"The Iceman Cometh" - Eugene O'Neill ( from Act One; Larry )
Dove vai quando poi resti sola
il ricordo come sai non consola
Quando lei se ne andò per esempio
Trasformai la mia casa in tempio
E da allora solo oggi non farnetico più
a guarirmi chi fu
ho paura a dirti che sei tu
Ora noi siamo già più vicini
Io vorrei non vorrei ma se vuoi
Come può uno scoglio
arginare il mare
anche se non voglio
torno già a volare
Le distese azzurre
e le verdi terre
Le discese ardite
e le risalite
su nel cielo aperto
e poi giù il deserto
e poi ancora in alto
con un grande salto
Dove vai quando poi resti sola
senza ali tu lo sai non si vola
Io quel dì mi trovai per esempio
quasi sperso in quel letto così ampio
Stalattiti sul soffitto i miei giorni con lei
io la morte abbracciai
ho paura a dirti che per te
mi svegliai
Oramai fra di noi solo un passo
Io vorrei non vorrei ma se vuoi
Come può uno scoglio
arginare il mare
anche se non voglio
torno già a volare
Le distese azzurre
e le verdi terre
le discese ardite
e le risalite
su nel cielo aperto
e poi giù il deserto
e poi ancora in alto
con un grande salto

Banteay Kdei - Torre d'entrata a forma di viso
Tempio buddista di Angkor, fu costruito tra la fine del XII e l'inizio del XIII secolo durante il regno di Jayavarman VII, probabilmente sul sito che già ospitava un tempio del X secolo.
Fu occupato dai monaci buddisti in diversi periodi di tempo nel corso dei secoli ma non si sa a chi era dedicato il tempio in quanto non è mai stata trovata alcuna iscrizione.
(Da Wikipedia)
Mandalay - Kuthodaw Pagoda (Myanmar)
Importante complesso religioso soprannominato "Il libro più grande del mondo" perchè intorno allo stupa centrale, il Maha Lawka Marazein Paya ,si trovano 729 lastre di marmo, custodite ognuna dentro un piccolo stupa bianco, sulle quali è stata incisa, su entrambi i lati, una parte del Tipitaka, il testo sacro del Buddismo Theravada. Riunite insieme queste lastre formano in effetti il libro più grande del mondo.
La prima versione completa del Tipitaka venne messa insiema da un team di 2.400 monaci che incisero il testo nelle lastre di marmo durante il V Sinodo Buddista nel 1872.

"Non pretendo che la gioia non possa accompagnarsi alla bellezza; ma dico che la gioia è uno degli ornamenti più volgari, mentre la malinconia è della bellezza, per così dire, la nobile compagna, al punto che non so concepire un tipo di bellezza che non abbia in sé il dolore."

I am sorry but I am busy so I cannot comment on all of you (I am OFF) but will catch up as soon as I can
Here you see the "Se de Lisboa" the ancient cathedral of Lisbon, built upon an old Mosque just after Lisbon was conquered from the Moors in the 12th century A.C. by the english crusader Gilbert de Hastings; the title I gave to this photo is because this monument (today a mixture of many styles) has survived 3 earthquakes - even the big one of 1755. This is a typical view of the bright colours of the city and its amazing light, mixing old and new - this unique combination of styles and colours makes Lisbon a most attractive city to visit.
Do enjoy and have a great weekend!

قطر وانتي العروس اللي ولو زان الشعر ماطال
شموخك لو نزف حرفه حشى والله ماطاله
بلاد الخير وانتي الخير نعم يادوحـه الامـال
يشـرف شاعرك يكتب ويرفع فيك منزاله
لانك من خلقك الله على مر الزمـن مدهـال
رجـال تعشـق العليا وفعـل الخير تعناله
هاللمنكوس والعرضه وصوتن يزعج الهوبال
لهم فزعه ليا صاح المنادي وطوح عقاله
ورجالن بالبحر غاصت طربها في صدا اليامال
تشـوف الموت بهوال الخليج ولاتهياله
حضر والا بدو عاشو بـعـزه ماانحنـو باذلال
حديهم بالشدايد صلب ويرخص دونك عياله
تحت رايه حكيم الراي سليل الجود والافعال
حمـد شيخ الشيوخ اللي رفيع المجد يرقاله
الامن شدت الكربه وكثرت بعـدها الاقـوال
ابـومشعـل ولاغيـره يطابق قوله افعاله
تشوف الطيب في وجهه وحلمن ترتجيه اجيال
وشـرن للعـدا ينذر قبل لايـدق زلزاله
كريمن لا عطا يعطي مثل مايعطي الهمـال
يـعـم الخير بدياره عساها دوم تهناله
عطوفن كم دعا في ليل يتيم ومقعد واطفال
لان مالهـم غـيره وبعد ظل الله اظلاله
حفظك الله وثم تبقى ذخر يا مظرب الامثال
الا يامن على الحسنى تطول وتارد حباله
وهني ياقطر في شيخ ولو طال الزمن مامال
ابــد مامال منه كود زيادت طيب بفعاله
Ho percorso un'infinità di chilometri e ancora molti ne percorrerò.
Chissà che mal di piedi ha la mia anima, ormai.
Douglas Coupland
quante strade partire, ritornare,
rimangono nel cuore e nella mente.
Cammina, cammina
quante scarpe consumate,
quante strade colorate,
cammina, cammina.
Quante dimenticate,
ritmo del lavoro,
segnate dalle ruote,
di antiche età dell'oro.
Vicoli tenebrosi
fra bidoni e fango,
viali peccaminosi
con un passo di tango.
Verso ogni direzione
attraversano città,
sorprese da un lampione
poi perse nell'oscurità.
Strade sospese
fra terra, mare e cielo
aspre e sinuose
abbracciate dal gelo.
Bianche scorciatoie
danzano nei prati,
s'inoltrano nei monti,
ricordano passati.
Vanno a ponente
corrono fra il grano,
vanno ad oriente
per perdersi lontano.
Vanno verso nord
disegnano confini,
scendono poi a sud
segnando destini.
Rimangono nel cuore
quelle strade sotto il sole,
bello è ritornare,
ma andare forse è meglio.
Cammina, cammina
quante scarpe consumate,
quante strade colorate,
cammina, cammina.

On my first unaided walk on Sunday I noticed these bud emrging from I am not sure whether a Maple or a Birch tree. These are very small maybe two inches in diameter so shot up close with the 50mm this is what I got.
Fossil Rock Desert, 75 kms from Dubai. Went there today for a picnic (near the rocks) with some friends. Absolutely perfect weather and temperature! The winter in Dubai is truly enjoyable.
