Bottlenose dolphin View Nose Dip On Black
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bottlenose dolphins, the genus Tursiops, are the most common and well-known members of the family Delphinidae, the family of oceanic dolphins. Recent molecular studies show the genus contains two species, the Common Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) and the Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops aduncus), where previous thought was that this was one species. Bottlenose dolphins inhabit warm and temperate seas worldwide.
Bottlenose dolphins live in groups called pods that typically number about 15 dolphins, but group size varies from solitary bottlenose dolphins up to groups of over 100 or even occasionally over 1000 animals. Their diet consists mainly of forage fish. Dolphin groups often work as a team to harvest schools of fish, but they also hunt individually. Dolphins search for prey primarily using echolocation, which is similar to sonar. They emit clicking sounds and listen for the return echo to determine the location and shape of nearby items, including potential prey. Bottlenose dolphins also use sound for communication. Sounds used for communication include squeaks and whistles emitted from the blowhole and sounds emitted through body language, such as leaping from the water and slapping their tails on the water.
There have been numerous investigations of bottlenose dolphin intelligence. Such testing has included tests of mimicry, use of artificial language, object categorization and self-recognition. This intelligence has driven considerable interaction with humans. Bottlenose dolphins are popular from aquarium shows and television programs such as Flipper. They have also been trained by militaries for tasks such as locating sea mines or detecting and marking enemy divers. In some areas they cooperate with local fishermen by driving fish towards the fishermen and eating the fish that escape the fishermen's nets. Some encounters with humans are harmful to the dolphins: people hunt bottlenose dolphins for food, and dolphins are killed inadvertently as a bycatch of tuna fishing. A bottlenose dolphins can jump up 16 feet out of the water.[citation needed]

Avrei voluto farvi gli auguri di Natale di persona ma dovrete accontentarvi del mio piccolo pensiero. Nel mio cuore vi penserò...
Non ho mai trascorso le festività col cuore libero dalla malinconia, è, e deve essere uno dei miei prossimi obiettivi... perchè la vita va vissuta e non subita. I cambiamenti spesso obbligano a rinunce e vuoti che non aiutano a sorridere...
Ma, dietro le nuvole il sole splende sempre!!! ed io sono fiduciosa e sicura che presto recupererò la serenità e la luce del sole...
Non dimenticate che "Gli amici sono angeli silenziosi che ci aiutano a rimetterci in piedi quando le nostre ali non ricordano più come si fa a volare!"
grazie!
tantissimi auguri a tutti voi....e grazie per la vostra presenza!

Els Pirineus (o el Pirineu) són un conjunt de serres (és a dir, una serralada) situades al nord de la Península Ibèrica. S'estén des del Mar Mediterrani (cap de Creus) a l'est, fins al mar Cantàbric (golf de Biscaia) a l'oest; al sud hi té la depressió de l'Ebre, i al nord la de la Garona. Ocupa la zona nord de Catalunya, l'Aragó, Navarra i el País Basc i la zona sud del Bearn i la Gascunya, així com la totalitat d'Andorra. La frontera entre França i Espanya també ressegueix aproximadament els Pirineus; el País Basc i Catalunya, als extrems oest i est respectivament, es troben a cavall de la serralada.
Tenen una llargada d'uns 425 km i una amplada que generalment no supera els 100 km.
Els Pirineus reben els següents noms en les llengües dels territoris que ocupen: en català Pirineus; en francès Pyrénées; en espanyol Pirineos; en occità Pirenèus; en aragonès Perinés; en basc Pirinioak.
Segons la mitologia grega, els Pirineus els creà Heracles, en amuntegar pedres per enterrar la princesa Pirena. Segons la geologia, es van formar a l'Era Terciària, amb el plegament alpí.
Alguns dels cims més importants dels Pirineus són, entre d'altres:
L'Aneto (3.403,5 m), a la Ribagorça, el més alt de la serralada.
El pic de Pocets (3.375 m), a la Ribagorça.
El Mont Perdut (3.348,2 m), a l'Aragó.
El Vinhamala (3.298 m), a la Gascunya.
La Pica d'Estats (3.143,1 m), a cavall entre el Pallars Sobirà i el País de Foix, és la muntanya més alta de Catalunya.
El Comapedrosa (2.942 m), la màxima altitud d'Andorra.
El Carlit (2.921 m), a l'Alta Cerdanya.
El Collarada (2.886 m), a l'Aragó.
El Montardo (2.833,8 m), a la Vall d'Aran.
El Canigó (2.784 m), al Conflent.
Els dos cims dels Encantats (2.734,3 i 2.748,1 m), al Pallars Sobirà.
Els clima dels Pirineus és de muntanya, cosa que en fa una illa climàtica caracteritzada per unes precipitacions més elevades i unes temperatures més baixes que els territoris del voltant. Alhora fa de frontera climàtica entre el clima oceànic predominant al seu nord-oest i el clima mediterrani al sud-est (amb matisos continentals al sud).
S'hi dóna una disminució de les precipitacions d'oest a est i de nord a sud, essent les valls pre-pirinenques de l'oest de Catalunya les zones més seques de la serralada (compareu, per exemple, els 636 mm/any d'Adrall amb els més de 1500 als Pirineus Atlàntics). Just a l'extrem est la pluviositat torna augmentar per efecte de la proximitat amb el Mediterrani, que si bé de manera poc freqüent, a vegades genera llevantades.
Aquesta serralada és el bressol d'importants rius: Adur, Garona, Nivelle, Tec, Tet, Aglí i Camini al vessant francès; Bidasoa, Aragó, Gállego, Cinca, Ésera, Segre, Ter, Llobregat, Muga i Fluvià al vessant sud

Los Pirineos, o el Pirineo como prefieren denominar sus habitantes al referirse a una parte o región de éstos (catalán: Pirineus; francés: Pyrénées; gascón: Pirenèus; aragonés: Perinés; euskera: Pirinioak o Auñamendiak), son una cordillera montañosa situada al norte de la Península Ibérica, entre España, Andorra y Francia. Se extiende a lo largo de 415 km desde el mar Mediterráneo (cabo de Creus, golfo de Rosas) al este, hasta el mar Cantábrico (cabo Higuer, golfo de Vizcaya) al oeste. En su parte central tiene una anchura de unos 150 km. En lenguaje corriente la palabra Pirineo se aplica al conjunto de altas sierras fronterizas hispano-francesas. Los Pirineos Centrales o Pirineo central es el área geográfica de la cordillera de los Pirineos que se extiende aproximadamente, según las diferentes obras, entre las cumbres de Somport, en la parte occidental, y el macizo de la Maladeta, en la oriental.
En la ladera norte, en Francia, transcurre por la regiones de Aquitania (Pirineos Atlánticos), Mediodía-Pirineos (Altos Pirineos, Alto Garona y Ariège) y Rosellón (Pirineos Orientales). En la ladera sur, en España, transcurren por Navarra, Aragón (Huesca) y Cataluña (Lérida y Gerona). El pequeño país de Andorra está situado en los Pirineos, entre España y Francia.
Estas montañas albergan picos de más de 3.000 metros de altura como el Aneto (3.404 m), el Posets (3.375 m), el Monte Perdido (3.355 m) y el Vignemale (3.298 m), pequeños glaciares, lagos y circos de origen glaciar, y un gran número de valles y cañones.
Las obras de la Fuente de la Cibeles comenzaron en 1780, encargándose de su realización los escultores Francisco Gutiérrez y Roberto Michel, así como el adornista Miguel Ximénez.
Esculpida en mármol de Montesclaros, consiste en un gran pilono circular sobre el que se sitúan unas rocas que hacen de soporte al carro de la diosa, el cual está tirado por dos leones. Sentada en el carro aparece la diosa Cibeles vestida con un fino manto. En la mano derecha sostiene un cetro, símbolo del poder universal, mientras que con la izquierda muestra las llaves de la ciudad.
La mayoría de la obra fue realizada por Francisco Gutiérrez, mientras que Roberto Michel se encargó de realizar los leones y parte del carro, y Miguel Ximénez realizó la ornamentación general.
Por último, a instancias de Juan de Villanueva, Alfonso Giraldo Vergaz completó su ornamentación con las figuras de un dragón y un oso, de cuya cabeza salían dos surtidores de agua potable, y que fueron retirados a mediados del siglo XIX.
Las obras finalizaron en 1792, situándose en un principio a la entrada del Paseo de Recoletos, mirando hacia Neptuno. Allí estuvo Cibeles hasta que en 1895, con motivo de la ordenación de la glorieta de Emilio Castelar, fue trasladada a su emplazamiento actual.
Lamentablemente, a lo largo de su historia, este símbolo de la ciudad de Madrid ha sido objeto de numerosos actos vandálicos que la han ocasionado importantes desperfectos; en 1841 fue robado el cañón de bronce que asomaba por la boca del oso, costando su reparación 1.800 reales. En 1931 fue arrancada su mano izquierda, y posteriormente, durante la Guerra Civil, hubo de protegerla mediante una compleja obra de ingeniería puesto que durante un bombardeo quedó muy dañada en su brazo derecho, nariz, así como en el morro de uno de los leones.
Suconversión en 'musa futbolera' le está ocasionando graves desperfectos, ya que por este motivo, varias veces ha sido mutilada, e incluso teñida de pintura fosforescente.
Este monumento simboliza la presencia de madrileños en otras ciudades hermanas a Madrid. Existe una réplica exacta en Mexico DF.

Some cold, hard facts:
• 17 babies die every day in the UK (10 are stillbirths, 7 are neonatal deaths) totalling almost 6,500 baby deaths a year - the equivalent of 16 jumbo jets crashing every year with no survivors
• This is four times the number of people who die every year of MRSA
• This is double the number of adults who lose their lives on Britain’s roads every year
• Ten times more babies are stillborn than die of cot death every year in the UK.
• The stillbirth rate has remained almost unchanged for the past 10 years. (CEMACH)
• 1 in every 200 babies are stillborn in the UK
• 1 in every 300 babies born in the UK die in the first four weeks of life
• In half of all stillbirths the cause remains unexplained, although in more than half of these pregnancies the baby is smaller than it should be
• Many of these babies are born perfectly formed, with no clear reason why they died. We need to understand what is causing these deaths and take action to prevent avoidable losses
• The majority of unexplained stillbirths are in pregnancies that were previously considered low risk
Sands is the UK’s Stillbirth and Neonatal Death charity, an organisation which offers support to everyone affected by the death of a baby during pregnancy or after birth.
Sands’ core aims are to:
• Support anyone affected by the death of a baby;
• To work in partnership with health professionals to improve the quality of care and services offered to bereaved families; and
• To promote research and changes in practice that could help to reduce the loss of babies' lives
The death of a baby is a devastating experience. The effects of grief can be overwhelming and parents, their families and friends can be left feeling dazed, disorientated, isolated and exhausted.
The death of a baby can happen to any one of us. It has happened to too many of us.
What brings people together through Sands is the common experience of this painful loss.
June is the national awareness month; with this photograph I hope to do something to raise awareness of the work of this charity. What can you do?

I know it's not polite to toot your own horn, but holy hell do I ever love the way today's shots turned out! I was totally inspired by this shot, and knew I wanted to do my own version with blues instead of pinks. Of course, in post processing I wound up falling in love with this shot, which is decidedly more muted. Whatever. Don't you just love those days where shoots go even better than expected and you totally feel like you rocked it out? This is one of those days for me. So let me enjoy it!! Ha!
That said, there were a bunch of outtakes that I really liked too, so I'm posting them in the comments. Let me know what you think of them. And as a side note, when I started my self portrait 365 project, I wasn't sure I could handle it. I mean, I'm self conscious of the way I look and usually hate pictures of me. So how was I going to do a whole year of it, right? But what I've discovered in the course of doing these daily self portraits, is that I love the way I can totally transform my look for different shots. Wigs, makeup, angles, processing...it's become this total obsession of mine. I love making myself look like somebody else, while still retaining the bits of me that I love. This shot is such a good example of that.
Ok, I'll stop rambling about how much I love these shots. Ha. If you read this far, you must really like me a lot! ;)

The church stands on a plain at the foot of the road. It is a building with a single nave with a semicircular apse oriented east, the two bodies together directly through the opening arc of the apse. The nave is covered with a barrel vault point, reinforced by two arcs that twist off a simple imposta. The apse is covered by a fourth round of a sphere. Four windows give light to the interior: two in front of the lunch, one in the west and the center of the apse, all with double-stroke and a round arch, the inner monolithic adovellat and a la outside. The entrance gate is located on one side of the south wall and is composed of two semicircular arches adovellats and degradation. The walls that enclose the sides of the ship lift and speaker, beyond the height of the roof with a gable double arc located on the west. This wall was a door open late to edge which was walled up in the restoration done by the Barcelona between 1970 and 1973, while reopening the door for lunch. The work is arranged in small blocks horizontal rows and tied with lime mortar rather sandy. Front door, a bastion of low wall was a small close where there is a sink stone named above were on the inside. We must remember that in the era of the house there are Santamaria anthropomorphic tombs that are part of the ancient necropolis of the church and is now hidden.
The first document which mentions Santa Maria is the consecration of the church of the monastery of San Lorenzo near Bagà, dated 21 November 983, in which the count of Cerdanya-Oliba Besalú and his wife Ermegarda donations made between some underwater the Sta. Maria has five houses, lands, tithes and first, and in a more clear: "Et in Avizano ecclesiam Sanctae Marie et hamlets V et terras et vineas, cum suas decimas et primitias (Parchment n. 1110, AM). The church was therefore within the limits of the old county of Berga and under the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Bishop of Urgell, depending on the Benedictine monastery of San Lorenzo near Bagà. The 1003 Count Oliba Cabreta the cedi to the monastery of Santa Maria de Serrateix (which depended on St. Lawrence nearly Bagà). In the tenth century Bishop of Urgell religious communities became the rule of Saint Benedict, taking care of the Benedictine parishes dependents. For this reason, some historians believe that Santamaria's house, next to the church, could have been the seat of a monastery that women would care about the cult of the Virgin Mary. The year 1312 remained the category of the parish as confirmed at the deanery of Berga. Currently depends on the parish of St. Martí as a covered (BENEDICT, 1993). During the Civil War (1936-1939) was leaving the cult and was converted into storage until 1970, the Heritage Service of the Barcelona are carried out important restoration work, returning the cult on 14 May 1973 . From inside the church comes to the front altar of Santa Maria attributed to the Master of Avià, preserved in the National Art Museum of Catalonia and which n'exposa back inside the church . The Virgin Mary was venerated Avià of this church and was known as Our Lady of La Leche, because it calls for pregnant women to assist in the delivery and give them strength to have the baby milk (Joys of Santa Maria de Avià).

Well, we are back at home.
It feels good, but the memories of driving across country, the views, the food, the people, will forever be in my mind....
Obrigado Leley and Sussu for the nice stay in your house.
If I was ever poor, I forgot.
It was better than a five star hotel staying with you guys.
Again, thank you.
Este rapaz ai era doido mesmo, lembrei da Bel Matos, que ta meia sumidinha, mas eu aposto tambem que ele teve o maior prazer do mundo, pois bater as assas a 3100 metros nao eh para qualquer um nao.
Ele esperou muito tempo para ter um ventinho, para ele poder decolar.
Enquanto isso todo mundo esperava.
Ja estamos em casa, a viajem foi otima, a comida, o povo, as vistas, ficarao para sempre registradas em minha memoria.
Obrigado Leley pela otima estadia em sua casa...
Se fui pobre eu esqueci...

Noční vlaky jsou nedílnou součástí železniční dopravy v Itálii, přičemž relace, směřující z vnitrozemí na Sicílii, patří k nejvytíženějším. Jen ze samotného Říma jezdí hned dva páry spojů, doplněné o vlak z Milána, který cílů na ostrově ve Středozemním moři dosahuje až odpoledne, a i ve směru do Milána vlak odjíždí z obou sicilských destinací nedlouho po poledni. Cestujícím zejména posledně jmenovaného páru se tak naskýtají překrásné výhledy na Tyrhénské moře, neboť železniční trať je vedena v těsné blízkosti pobřeží od Sicílie až téměř po Neapol. Vzhledem ke zmíněné vytíženosti jsou všechny tři páry vlaků složeny pouze ze spacích vozů a poté, co se přepraví ze vnitrozemské italské železniční sítě přes Messinskou úžinu na tu sicilskou pomocí trajektu, se ve stanici Messina Centrale rozdělují Zatímco jedna část vlaků je vedena po severním břehu ostrova do stanice Palermo Centrale, druhá část vlaků směřuje na jih přes Katánii do Syrakus.
Na snímku vlaku ICN 1963 "Intercity Notte" [Milano Centrale – Siracusa], pořízeném dne 23. března 2024 u letoviska Praia a Mare, lze spatřit všechny tři typy spacích vozů, kterými lze v těchto vlacích cestovat. Nejpočetnější lehátkové vozy, nabízející pouze čtyřmístná a o poznání komfortnější kupé, než bývá v Evropě zvykem, představují zástupce dvou sérií, které vznikly v letech 1996–2001 přestavbou starších vozů konstrukce UIC-X ze 60. a 70. let v celkovém počtu 230 vozů. Lůžkový vůz je zde zastoupen v západní Evropě nejrozšířenějším typem MU rovněž po modernizaci. Na vzniku celkem 283 vozů během let 1963 a 1990 se podílely hned tři společnosti a vozy tohoto typu jezdily i ve Francii či v zemích Beneluxu. Zatímco zcela původní francouzské vozy dnes dožívají v Černé Hoře, všechny dnes provozované italské vozy prošly modernizací a jsou dodnes v provozu, jak se lze na tomto snímku přesvědčit. S celkovou kapacitou až 36 osob nabízí jedno-, dvou- či třílůžková kupé standardních parametrů.
Nejzajímavější je ale třetí vůz na snímku – jedná se o lůžkový vůz typu T3S, který vznikl v počtu 11 vozů v letech 2007–2008 ve firmě RSI Costa Masnaga přestavbou starších lůžkových vozů typu T2S z roku 1982. Jedna polovina vozu je tvořena standardními třílůžkovými oddíly, druhá polovina pak představuje netradičně provedená čtyřlůžková kupé s vlastním WC a sprchou. Vozy tohoto typu byly mj. nasazeny v letech 2017–2020 na páru nočních vlaků Benátky–Paříž, avšak po ukončení provozu tohoto spoje v důsledku pandemie viru Covid-19 v roce 2020 byly staženy do vnitrostátního provozu a dnes jsou vozy nasazovány na všechny tři páry nočních vlaků na Sicílii, avšak pouze do skupiny vozů Miláno/Řím – Syrakusy a zpět.
Praia a Mare je obec v regionu Kalábrie, která je známá jako plážové letovisko u Tyrhénského moře. Celkem dva kilometry dlouhá pláž je částečně pokryta atraktivním černým lávovým pískem. Na jižním konci se nachází skalní ostrov Dino, kde se nachází několik velkých mořských jeskyní, přístupných malými plavidly. Na nejjižnějším výběžku pláže se na výběžku sopečné skály tyčí středověká věž Fiuzzi, postavená byzantskými silami k ochraně pobřeží.

El monasterio de Sant Cugat es una antigua abadía benedictina situada en la localidad catalana de San Cugat del Vallés (España). El monasterio, construido en el siglo IX, destaca por su impresionante claustro. Fue el monasterio de mayor importancia de todo el condado de Barcelona. Los orígenes del monasterio se sitúan en el siglo IX cuando se decidió unir la iglesia que contenía los restos de San Cucufate o San Cucufato (Cugat en catalán) con una fortificación anexa. La pequeña iglesia, construida en el siglo V, era un pequeño recinto de planta cuadrada alrededor de la que se cree existía ya una comunidad de monjes. Sin embargo, no se tienen noticias documentadas de la existencia de esta comunidad hasta el año 878. En los inicios del siglo X la importancia del monasterio empieza a ser notable. Los abades de San Cugat tomaban parte en actos de relevancia y las posesiones de la comunidad se amplían llegando a tener tierras desde la zona del Penedés hasta la del Montseny. En el año 985, el ataque de las tropas sarracenas capitaneadas por Almanzor afectó al monasterio aunque no causó daños excesivamente graves. El abad que regía el monasterio en esa época, Odón, inició las obras de reconstrucción del cenobio. A finales del siglo XI, Berenguer Ramón II dispuso que el monasterio quedara sometido al de San Ponce de Tomieres, en la zona de la Provenza, lo que creó discrepancias entre los monjes de Sant Cugat. El abad de San Ponce se trasladó hasta el monasterio catalán y aquellos monjes que estaban en desacuerdo con su gestión fueron expulsados. Sin embargo, el obispo de Barcelona reclamó sus derechos sobre el monasterio que volvió a quedar sometido a la diócesis barcelonesa. Fue en ese periodo cuando más se ampliaron los dominios de San Cugat. Quedaron sujetos al mismo los monasterios de Santa Cecília, el de Sant Llorenç del Munt, Sant Pau del Camp, Sant Pere de Clará y el de Sant Salvador de Breda. A mediados del siglo XII se iniciaron las obras de construcción de un nuevo monasterio. Se amplió la iglesia existente en una obra que se prolongó en el tiempo, ya que su construcción no finalizó hasta el año 1337.
En el año 1350 se iniciaron las obras de fortificación del monasterio. El rey Pedro III amplió esta fortificación añadiendo algunas torres de guardia. Sin embargo, en este periodo se inició el declive de Sant Cugat. El abad Pere Busquets suprimió la elección directa del abad por parte de los monjes del monasterio. Los nuevos abades eran nombrados desde la diócesis y algunos de ellos ni siquiera visitaban el monasterio. Aunque se siguieron realizando algunas obras, San Cugat ya no tenía el poder de antaño. Durante la Guerra de Sucesión Española, el monasterio fue ocupado por las tropas del Archiduque Carlos, ocupación que causó graves desperfectos en el edificio. Se llevó a cabo una restauración que finalizó en 1789.
En 1835 los monjes abandonaron el monasterio; el abandono fue causado en parte por la ley de desamortización que obligaba a las órdenes religiosas a abandonar sus pertenencias, y en parte por el asalto de un grupo de habitantes de la zona. Sant Cugat quedó abandonado hasta 1851, año en el que la Comisión de Monumentos Históricos decidió restaurarlo.En 1931 fue declarado Monumento Histórico Artístico.
Tal vez lo más destacado de todo el conjunto del monasterio de San Cucufato es su impresionante claustro. Se trata de un claro ejemplo del arte románico catalán y fue construido en el siglo XII. En el siglo XVI se le añadió un segundo piso y se construyó también el atrio de entrada. Con una longitud de más de 30 metros, el claustro es obra del artista Arnau Gatell. Su planta es casi cuadrada y tiene arcos de medio punto, apoyados sobre pares de columnas. Cada una de estas columnas está decorada con capitel es finamente elaborados, con detalles variados que van desde la representación de animales a las escenas bíblicas. Se pueden contra 72 pares de capitales. Otro elemento destacado es la basílica, construida en este caso en estilo gótico. El edificio, de 52 metros de largo por 23 de ancho, consta de tres naves cubiertas con bóvedas sostenidas por columnas. Llama la atención el rosetón de 8,2 metros de diámetro, muy parecido al de la catedral de Barcelona y a la de Tarragona. La iglesia contiene un retablo gótico, conocido como el retablo de Todos los Santos, realizado en 1375 por el artista Pere Serra.
The monastery of Sant Cugat is a former Benedictine abbey located in the Catalan town of Sant Cugat del Valles (Spain). The monastery, built in the ninth century, noted for its impressive cloister. It was the most important monastery throughout the county of Barcelona. The origins of the monastery is located in the ninth century when he decided to join the church containing the remains of St. Cucufate or San Cucuphas (Cugat in Catalan) with a fortification attached. The small church built in the V century, was a small square enclosure around which people believe there was already a community of monks. However, there are reports documented the existence of this community until the year 878. In the early tenth century the importance of the monastery began to be noticeable. The abbots of San Cugat took part in important events and possessions of the community is coming to have land extending from the Penedes area to Montseny. In the year 985, the attack of the troops commanded by Mansur Saracens hit the monastery but did not damage too severe. The abbot, who ruled the monastery at that time, Odo began the reconstruction of the monastery. In the late XI, Berenguer Ramon II decreed that the monastery becomes subject to St Ponce de Tomieres, in the Provence area, creating discrepancies between the monks of Sant Cugat. The abbot of St. Ponce moved to the Catalan monastery and the monks who disagreed with his administration were expelled. However, the bishop of Barcelona claimed their rights over the monastery which was once again subjected to the diocese of Barcelona. It was during this period when most were extended domains San Cugat. Were liable to the same monastery of Santa Cecilia, the Sant Llorenç del Munt, Sant Pau del Camp, Sant Pere de Clará and Sant Salvador de Breda. A mid-twelfth century began construction of a new monastery. Existing church was expanded in a work that lasted over time, since its construction was not completed until 1337.
In the year 1350, work began defense of the monastery. King Pedro III extended this fortification by adding a few guard towers. However, in this period began the decline of Sant Cugat. The abbot Pere Busquets abolished the direct election of the abbot by the monks. The new abbots were appointed from the diocese and some of them even visited the monastery. Although it continued to make some plays, San Cugat longer had the power of old. During the War of Spanish Succession, the monastery was occupied by troops of the Archduke Charles, an occupation that caused serious damage to the building. It undertook a restoration that ended in 1789.
In 1835 the monks left the monastery, the abandonment was caused in part by the law that forced confiscation of religious orders to abandon their belongings, and in part by the assault of a group of locals. Sant Cugat was abandoned until 1851, when the Landmarks Commission decided restaurarlo.En 1931 was declared a Historic Artistic Monument.
Perhaps the highlight of the whole of the monastery of San Cucuphas is its impressive cloister. This is a clear example of Catalan Romanesque art and was built in the twelfth century. In the sixteenth century added a second floor and also built the entrance hall. With a length of over 30 meters, the cloister is work by the artist Arnau Gatell. Its plan is almost square and has round arches, supported on pairs of columns. Each of these columns is decorated with capitals is finely produced, with detail varied, ranging from animals to represent biblical scenes. You can expect 72 pairs of capital. Another feature is the basilica, built in Gothic style in this case. The building, 52 meters long by 23 wide, has three naves covered with vaults supported by columns. It is striking rosette of 8.2 meters in diameter, much like the cathedral of Barcelona and Tarragona. The church contains a Gothic altarpiece, known as the altar of All Saints, made in 1375 by artist Pere Serra.

Facts about July 4th
* July 4, 1776 is the day the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Continental Congress. The document was officially signed on August 2, 1776.
* The names of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were withheld for 6 months. If the effort at independence had failed, the act of signing would have been treason and punishable by death.
* In July, 1776, an estimated 2.5 million citizens lived in the United States. According to the population clock, www.census.gov/-main/www/popcl ock.html on the US Census Website, on July 4, 2010, the population is estimated to be 309,278,805.
* On July 8, 1776, the first Independence Day was celebrated in Philadelphia. The liberty bell was rung from the tower of Independence Hall to gather the citizens to hear the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence.
The bell was ordered from a London foundry in 1751. The first two castings were rung to celebrate Independence Day, but deemed defective by the Continental Congress. The third casting, made in Philadelphia, rang on July 4th from 1778 until 1835, when it cracked. To this day, it is tapped lightly on Independence Day, but no longer rung.There was a third bell sent from England that hangs in the cupola of Independence Hall. It is attached to a clock and sounds the hours.
* July 4, 1804, was the occasion of the first public Fourth of July celebration at the White House.
* In 1805, Lewis and Clark paused in their explorations to celebrate the first Independence Day festivities west of the Mississippi.
* On June 24, 1826, Thomas Jefferson wrote a letter declining an invitation to the White House to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. This was his last written correspondence; Thomas Jefferson died on July 4, 1826.
* In 1941, July 4, was declared a federal holiday by Congress.
* Legend says that Betsy Ross sewed the first flag, but historical research has not confirmed this. She is a recognized heroine in the fight for independence, but even the curators of Betsy Ross House have not been able to confirm she actually sewed the first flag.
* As designated by the Continental Congress, the official name of the flag is "The Flag of the United States."
* The proper name of the statue of Liberty is "Liberty Enlightening the World."
* Congress has designated that America’s National Independence Day Parade by held annually on July 4, at 11:45 a.m. in Washington, D.C on Constitution Avenue from 7th to 17th Streets.
* The purpose of the parade is to remind Americans of the true meaning of Independence Day. It is a patriotic, truly our-home-town, celebration of America’s birthday.

Garden State is one of my favorite movies. It is one of those movies where you can sit back, watch, and let it sink in. :) It was also Zach Braff's feature film debut as a director. Commendable job there.
Zach's and Natalie Portman's charaters are quite endearing. And Peter Sarsgaard's character has its own element of endearment. :)
And of course, one of the soundtracks in the movie is "Let Go" by Frou Frou. A beautiful song.

La Concatedral de Santa Maria, també denominada església de Santa Maria la Major en Castelló de la Plana (Plana Alta) és un temple d'estil gòtic amb posteriors intervencions historicistes i en estil neogòtic. Esta situada en la Plaça Major, al costat de l'Ajuntament i la torre campanar independent, l'anomenat Fadrí.
S'inicia la construcció del temple a la fi del segle XIII. Destruïda per un incendi, es reprenen les obres a mitjan segle XIV, sent ampliades a principis del segle XV pel mestre d'obres Miquel Garcia de Sogorb, i sent consagrat el temple en 1549. La planta era d'una sola nau dividida en cinc trams, absis pentagonal amb dues capelles laterals i una central per al cor, així com capelles entre els contraforts, cobrint-se amb voltes de creuria sobre els trams i amb volta estavellada sobre l'absis.
El temple comptava amb tres portades: dos laterals, situades en el tercer tram de la nau, i altra en la façana principal, sent aquestes juntament amb algunes claus, els únics elements conservats en la seva reconstrucció. En 1662, amb traces de Juan Ibañez, es construïx la capella de la Comunió de planta de creu grega i coberta amb cúpula en el centre i voltes de mig canó en braços, la qual obria en el tram dels peus del costat de l'Epístola.
Després de la demolició, soferta en 1936, s'inicia la reconstrucció a partir d'un projecte de Vicente Traver Tomás basat en les traces del temple desaparegut. El projecte va començar a realitzar-se, per Vicente Traver, en 1939, tres anys després que l'Ajuntament, en plena guerra civil prengués la decisió d'enderrocar l'antiga església arxiprestal i que s'executés l'ordre.
El temple actual que ocupa una illa completa té planta de creu llatina amb tres naus i un absis pentagonal. La nau central es remarca amb pilars octogonals, dels quals arrenquen els arcs de faixa. Les naus es cobrixen amb volta de creuria, sent la de la capçalera de mitja estrella i el creuer, amb cimborri, cobreix també amb volta estavellada.

Se inicia la construcción del templo a finales del siglo XIII. Destruido por un incendio, se reanudan las obras a mediados del siglo XIV, siendo ampliadas a principios del siglo XV por el maestro de obras Miguel García de Segorbe, y siendo consagrado el templo en 1549.
La planta era de una sola nave dividida en cinco tramos, ábside pentagonal con dos capillas laterales y una central para el coro, así como capillas entre los contrafuertes, cubriéndose con bóvedas de crucería sobre los tramos y con bóveda estrellada sobre el ábside.

Tras la demolición, sufrida en 1936 se inicia la reconstrucción a partir de un proyecto de Vicente Traver Tomás basado en las trazas del templo desaparecido. El proyecto empezó a realizarse, por Vicente Traver, en 1939, tres años después de que el Ayuntamiento, en plena guerra civil tomase la decisión de derrocar la antigua iglesia arciprestal y que se ejecutara la orden.
El templo actual que ocupa una manzana completa tiene planta de cruz latina con tres naves y un ábside pentagonal. La nave central se remarca con pilares octogonales, de los que arrancan los arcos fajones. Las naves se cubren con bóveda de crucería, siendo la de la cabecera de media estrella y el crucero, con cimborrio, cubre también con bóveda estrellada.

Ya sé que las fotos son muy parecidas, pero para mí lo son, y en esta foto he querido aparentar como una aparición de algo que sabemos que hay pero que no lo vemos, por lo menos yo no lo he experimentado nunca, esta foto prácticamente la he retocado con el Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.4, sobretodo, le he bajado temperatura para poder conseguir ese color azul, y luego con el Photoshop, ajustes de curvas y el brillo y contraste - Playa de Cueva de los Lobos – Bolnuevo.

"Grandma spoke of the big city all-a-time. How as a lil girl she and friends ran the streets of the lower east side hollering and screaming and doing the things kids do growing up on tenement streets. I saw the old photographs and how the sun hit the smiling faces of people sitting on summer stoops. I saw the open hydrants and kids with wet underwear jumping into piped waterfalls of glistening, gushing streams of water. The people up on the fire escapes, looking down on their world of streets lined with garbage cans and chalked sidewalks and shoppers buying vegetables and fruit from colorful outdoor stands. A dog running loose, a radio somewhere blasting a salsa song from a curtained window, the smell of fried fish and a baby crying. The mailman coming up the street with his mail-sack slung across his back and older folks waiting for him in doorways to get their monthly welfare checks. All this came to mind as I sat here on this bench having just come off that bus. Joplin, Missouri is a long way off now, in time and place. A duffle bag a new watch my ‘good jeans’ and jacket. Got some money in my wallet and strong hands to work and make some more. Gonna do it too. Rivington Street is just up the block. Got this address here in my pocket, an apartment for rent. Got a number too, a place on Delancy needs a dish washer and someone to sweep. These hands learn real quick and if I "smile a lot you’ll make new friends", Grandma always said that. I see a fella across the way taking my picture. Thinks I don’t see him. Guess he got nothing better to do. Maybe him and me could be friends. My first. Yeah, das right. Gonna get up now and introduce myself…….”Hey photographer man, glad to meet you, my name is Archie Lee Weston from Joplin…"

Real HDR 101
After the pseudo HDR restoration treatment on my previous post , I thought it's about time to get my hands dirty on some real HDR, for a change. With a tripod in the back of my ride I drove to a place nearby and started fiddling around with the automatic exposure bracketing settings of my camera. With a 4-stop range across three exposures (-2 Ev, +/-0 Ev and +2 Ev) I finally hit the shutter in aperture priority mode.
The HDR approuch
With the help of Photomatrix I was able to combine my differently exposed RAW files into one HDR image. With the Tone Mapping tool applied throughout the image I was able to visually reveal its higher dynamic range.
Final touchups
In PS the copper hues throughout the scene was created by different Hue/Saturation layers on top of the 32-bit HDR representation. Locally I painted in or out from the accompanying masks to enhance the color-contrast of different parts in the sky. As a final touch up I used a contrast adjustment layer with a value of 10 for a tiny bit of extra eye popping awe, which I very like in here. Selective sharpening was done with a high-pass layer in overlay mode with a value of just below 0.8 pixels in the High Pass filter settings dialog. Irrelevant sharpened parts - such as noise - were painted out from its layer mask afterwards, to enhance the edges of the trees throughout. Personally I am quite satisfied with the results right now and I hope you folks will like it too.
Was it fun?
Yes. I must admit that visually less treatment - thus time - was needed to achieve better result compared to conventional techniques I am using for over a decade. Within approximately one hour - without noticeable loss of detail - I am quite content with the end results.
Location: At the borders of Holland and Germany nearby the North-Eastern region of the province of Groningen.

NATURALMENTE QUESTA VOLTA NON ANDRO' A SCOMODARE CANTANTI PIU' O MENO FAMOSI MA VI FARO' SENTIRE UNA CANZONE SCRITTA E CANTATA DA GIANLUCA FANTELLI CHE VI FARA' MEDITARE.
IO VIVO......IO vivrò
Cosa mi manca per essere felice .
Posso camminare
anche se ho qualche cicatrice.
Posso respirare, ballare, cantare una canzone.
Posso stare in piedi per ore.
Cosa mi manca me lo si legge in faccia
eppure posso fare tutto.
Posso muovere le braccia.
Posso raccontare di posti bellissimi e lontani.
E toccarmi i piedi .....
E toccarmi i piedi con le mani.
Io vivo, io vivo.
Io vivo, io vivrò
Qualcuno che usa la testa
come fosse all'asilo
e non vuole comprendere
che siamo davvero ...
appesi tutti ad un filo
E gente che butta la vita...
che continua a rovinarsi
ma come si fa a non capire
che quello che abbiamo non è roba normale.
Tenetevi stretti gli affetti
Parlatevi e ditevi tutto
Soprattutto prendete il tempo
per dare ragione
e spendete le parole ...
e ascoltate....
e abbracciatevi forte
Perchè questo è il momento..
Perchè dopo potrebbe non esservi tempo
E a volte ti guardo e ti sento morire.
perchè penso a quando
non sarò in grado di dirti a parole
che ho nel cuore l'amore del mondo.
E adesso non so come fare
e, al solo pensiero, mi sento uno straccio.
mi sembra incredibile,
ma sarà impossibile, tenerti in braccio.
Allora mi fermo a guardarti...
e c'è il tuo sorriso
Lo so che diranno che è roba banale
Ma è così che deve essere il Paradiso.
E' forse per questo che aspetto
e resto qui sulla soglia
perchè c'è un motivo più grande
per cui sono vivo....
e sei tu .... mia figlia.

MELANCOLÍAS
Como es sabido la melancolía
no es sinónimo de soledad
aunque una y otra lleguen
con un llanto sequísimo
una ternura en trozos
una tristeza que no tiene nombre
con la melancolía no se juega
sobre todo si sube desde los huesos
y se abre temblorosa y delirante
hay una melancolía que se engancha a la vida
y otra melancolía que se asoma a la muerte
pero los melancólicos no son candorosos
conocen por lo general de qué se trata
la asumen como una fiebre recurrente
como una propensión a la dulzura
o un modo inédito de respirar
normalmente
la soledad y la melancolía
tienen vergüenza de mostrarse
sólo el amor les infunde coraje
y las convierte en pájaros de fuego.

The name Baguio conjures, for both the international and domestic traveler, a highland retreat in the Grand Cordillera in Northern Luzon, with pine trees, crisp cold breezes and low luxuriant knolls and hillocks. Through the numerous decades Baguio has morphed from what was once a grassy marshland into one of the cleanest and greenest, most highly developed cities in the country. It has made its mark as an opening tourist destination in the Northern part of the Philippines with its cool climate, foggy hills, panoramic views and lovely flowers. Being the ideal union zone of neighboring highland places, Baguio is the melting pot of different peoples and cultures and has enhanced its ability to provide a center for education for its neighbors.

A distinctive feature of the city of Albarracín respect to the peoples of the Sierra is the abundant use of structures with half-timbered and plaster tabicones that confers red color to the set. The cast material is typical in Albarracin, more even than the stone. The architecture of wood and plaster is lighter than the stone, which reduces the volume of materials used, and if the city saves the cost of the work by the difficulty of access for them to it.
Every corner, every house, is the subject of admiration for their doors and calling (iron doorknobs mimicking a fantastic little dragon), their tiny windows with lace curtains, its running balconies of wrought iron and rich in carved wood, ...

Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi
Following, a text, in english, from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi or "Fountain of the Four Rivers" is a fountain in Rome, Italy, located in the Piazza Navona. Designed by Gianlorenzo Bernini, it is emblematic of the dynamic and dramatic effects sought by High Baroque artists. It was erected in 1651 in front of the church of Sant'Agnese in Agone, and yards from the Pamphilj Palace belonging to this fountain's patron, Innocent X (1644-1655).
The four gods on the corners of the fountain represent the four major rivers of the world known at the time: the Nile, Danube, Ganges, and Plate. The design of each god figure has symbolic importance.
Design
Bernini's design was selected in competition. The circumstances of his victory are described as follows:
So strong was the sinister influence of the rivals of Bernini on the mind of Innocent that when he planned to set up in Piazza Navona the great obelisk brought to Rome by the Emperor Caracalla, which had been buried for a long time at Capo di Bove for the adornment of a magnificent fountain, the Pope had designs made by the leading architects of Rome without an order for one to Bernini. Prince Niccolò Ludovisi, whose wife was niece to the pope, persuaded Bernini to prepare a model, and arrange for it to be secretly installed in a room in the Palazzo Pamphili that the Pope had to pass. When the meal was finished, seeing such a noble creation, he stopped almost in ecstasy. Being prince of the keenest judgment and the loftiest ideas, after admiring it, said: “This is a trick … It will be necessary to employ Bernini in spite of those who do not wish it, for he who desires not to use Bernini’s designs, must take care not to see them.”
Paraphrase from Filippo Baldinucci, The life of Cavaliere Bernini (1682)
Public fountains in Rome served multiple purposes: first, they were highly needed sources of water for neighbors in the centuries prior to home plumbing. Second, they were monuments to the papal patrons. Earlier Bernini fountains had been the Fountain of the Triton in Piazza Barberini, the fountain of the Moor in the southern end of Piazza Navona erected during the Barberini papacy, and the Neptune and Triton for Villa Montalto, whose statuary now resides at Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
Each has animals and plants that further carry forth the identification, and each carries a certain number of allegories and metaphors with it. The Ganges carries a long oar, representing the river's navigability. The Nile's head is draped with a loose piece of cloth, meaning that no one at that time knew exactly where the Nile's source was. The Danube touches the Papal coat of arms, since it is the large river closest to Rome. And the Río de la Plata is sitting on a pile of coins, a symbol of the riches America could offer to Europe (the word plata means silver in Spanish). Also, the Río de la Plata looks scared by a snake, showing rich men's fear that their money could be stolen. Each is a river god, semi-prostrate, in awe of the central tower, epitomized by the slender Egyptian obelisk (built for the Roman Serapeum in AD 81), symbolizing by Papal power surmounted by the Pamphili symbol (dove). In addition, the fountain is a theater in the round, a spectacle of action, that can be strolled around. Water flows and splashes from a jagged and pierced mountainous disorder of travertine marble. A legend, common with tour-guides, is that Bernini positioned the cowering Rio de la Plata River as if the sculpture was fearing the facade of the church of Sant'Agnese by his rival Borromini could crumble against him; in fact, the fountain was completed several years before Borromini began work on the church.
The dynamic fusion of architecture and sculpture made this fountain revolutionary when compared to prior Roman projects, such as the stilted designs Acqua Felice and Paola by Fontana in Piazza San Bernardo (1585-87) or the customary embellished geometric floral-shaped basin below a jet of water such as the Fontanina in Piazza Campitelli (1589) by Giacomo della Porta.
Unveiling
he Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi was unveiled to the populace of Rome on 12 June 1651. According to a report from the time, an event was organised to draw people to the Piazza Navona. Beforehand, wooden scaffolding, overlaid with curtains, had hidden the fountain, though probably not the obelisk, which would have given people an idea that something was being built, but the precise details were unknown. Once unveiled, the full majesty of the fountain would be apparent, which the celebrations were designed to advertise. The festival was paid for by the Pamphili family, to be specific, Innocent X, who had sponsored the erection of the fountain. The most conspicuous item on the Pamphili crest, an olive branch, was brandished by the performers who took part in the event.
The author of the report, Antonio Bernal, takes his readers through the hours leading up to the unveiling. The celebrations were announced by a woman, dressed as the allegorical character of Fame, being paraded around the streets of Rome on a carriage or float. She was sumptuously dressed, with wings attached to her back and a long trumpet in her hand. Bernal notes that "she went gracefully through all the streets and all the districts that are found among the seven hills of Rome, often blowing the round bronze [the trumpet], and urging everyone to make their way to that famous Piazza." A second carriage followed her; this time another woman was dressed as the allegorical figure of Curiosity. According to the report, she continued exhorting the people to go towards the piazza. Bernal describes the clamour and noise of the people as they discussed the upcoming event.
The report is actually less detailed about the process of publicly unveiling the fountain. However, it does give ample descriptions of the responses of the spectators who had gathered in the Piazza. Once there, Bernal notes, the citizens of the city were overwhelmed by the massive fountain, with its huge life-like figures. The report mentions the "enraptured souls" of the population, the fountain, which "gushes out a wealth of silvery treasures" causing "no little wonder" in the onlookers. Bernal then continues to describe the fountain, making continuous reference to the seeming naturalism of the figures and its astonishing effect on those in the piazza.
The making of the fountain was met by opposition by the people of Rome for several reasons. First, Innocent X had the fountain built at public expense during the intense famine of 1646-48. Throughout the construction of the fountain, the city murmurred and talk of riot was in the air. Pasquinade writers protested the construction of the fountain in September 1648 by attaching hand-written invectives on the stone blocks used to make the obelisk. These pasquinades read, "We do not want Obelisks and Fountains, It is bread that we want. Bread, Bread, Bread!" Innocent quickly had the authors arrested, and disguised spies patrol the Pasquino statue and Piazza Navona
The streetvendors of the market also opposed the construction of the fountain, as Innocent X expelled them from the piazza. The Pamphilij pope believed they detracted from the magnificence of the square. The vendors refused to move, and the papal police had to chase them from the piazza. Roman Jews, in particular, lamented the closing of the Navona, since they were allowed to sell used articles of clothing there at the Wednesday market.
Navona Square (Piazza Navona).
Following, a text, in english, from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Piazza Navona is a city square in Rome, Italy. It is built on the site of the Stadium of Domitian, built in first century AD, and follows the form of the open space of the stadium.[1] The ancient Romans came there to watch the agones ("games"), and hence it was known as 'Circus Agonalis' (competition arena). It is believed that over time the name changed to 'in agone' to 'navone' and eventually to 'navona'.
Defined as a public space in the last years of 15th century, when the city market was transferred to it from the Campidoglio, the Piazza Navona is a significant example of Baroque Roman architecture and art. It features sculptural and architectural creations: in the center stands the famous Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi or Fountain of the Four Rivers (1651) by Gian Lorenzo Bernini; the church of Sant'Agnese in Agone by Francesco Borromini and Girolamo Rainaldi; and the Pamphilj palace also by Rainaldi and which features the gallery frescoed by Pietro da Cortona.
The Piazza Navona has two additional fountains: at the southern end is the Fontana del Moro with a basin and four Tritons sculpted by Giacomo della Porta (1575) to which, in 1673, Bernini added a statue of a Moor, or African, wrestling with a dolphin, and at the northern end is the Fountain of Neptune (1574) created by Giacomo della Porta. The statue of Neptune in the northern fountain, the work of Antonio Della Bitta, was added in 1878 to make that fountain more symmetrical with La Fontana del Moro in the south.
At the southwest end of the piazza is the ancient 'speaking' statue of Pasquino. Erected in 1501, Romans could leave lampoons or derogatory social commentary attached to the statue.
During its history, the piazza has hosted theatrical events and other ephemeral activities. From 1652 until 1866, when the festival was suppressed, it was flooded on every Saturday and Sunday in August in elaborate celebrations of the Pamphilj family. The pavement level was raised in the 19th century and the market was moved again in 1869 to the nearby Campo de' Fiori. A Christmas market is held in the piazza.
Other monuments on the Piazza Navona are:
Stabilimenti Spagnoli
Palazzo de Cupis
Palazzo Torres Massimo Lancellotti
Church of Nostra Signora del Sacro Cuore
Palazzo Braschi (Museo di Roma)
Sant'Agnese in Agone
Literature and films
The piazza is featured in Dan Brown's 2000 thriller Angels and Demons, in which the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi "The Fountain of the four rivers"(the Danube, the Gange, the Nile and the River Plate) is listed as one of the Altars of Science. During June 2008, Ron Howard directed several scenes of the film adaptation of Angels and Demons on the southern section of the Piazza Navona, featuring Tom Hanks.
The piazza is featured in several scenes of director Mike Nichols' 1970 adaptation of Joseph Heller's novel, Catch-22.
The Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi was used in the 1990 film Coins in the Fountain. The characters threw coins into the fountain as they made wishes. The Trevi Fountain was used in the 1954 version of the film.
A Fontana Dei Quattro Fiumi, é maior das três fontes, localizada no centro da praça. Na fonte dos rios, Bernini projetou quatro estátuas representando os rios dos quatro continentes: o Nilo, o Danúbio, o rio da Prata e o Ganges. As estátuas estão montadas sobre um obelisco egípcio, sendo circundadas por leões e outros animais fantásticos, tendo no cume uma pomba em bronze, símbolo da paz no mundo e da família Pamphili. Para realçar a rivalidade entre Bernini e Borromini, que fez a igreja de Santa Agnese, os romanos criaram uma lenda em torno da fonte dos rios, que fica em frente a esta igreja. Segundo os romanos, as estátuas duvidam da solidez do projeto de Borromini. A que retrata o rio da Prata, tem a mão erguida, a proteger o corpo do desabamento da igreja; a que retrata o Nilo, traz a cabeça coberta por um véu, a recusar a ver a obra de Borromini.
A seguir um texto, em português, da Wikipédia a Enciclopédia Livre:
Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi
Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fonte dos Quatro Rios), foi esculpida por Gian Lorenzo Bernini entre 1648 e 1651, artista do barroco italiano, foi concebida por uma ordem do Papa Inocencio X o Papa da familia Pamphili, cujo tinha sua casa nesta praça.
Esta localizada na Praça de Navona, em Roma. Ela representa os quatro principais continentes do mundo cortados por seus principais rios: Rio Nilo, na África; Rio Ganges, na Ásia, Rio da Prata, na América e o Rio Danúbio, na Europa.
A seguir, texto em português do site Wiki lingue:
A escultura da Fonte dos Quatro Rios, encontra-se na Piazza Navona de Roma (Itália) e foi criada e talhada pelo escultor e pintor Gian Lorenzo Bernini em 1651 baixo o papado de Inocencio X, em plena época barroca, durante o período mais prolífico do genial artista e cerca da que em outro tempo fué a Chiesa dei San Giacomo de gli Spagnoli
A fonte compõe-se de uma base formada de uma grande piscina elíptica, coroada em seu centro de uma grande mole de mármol, sobre a qual se eleva um obelisco egípcio de época romana, o obelisco de Domiciano .
As estátuas que compõem a fonte, têm umas dimensões maiores que na realidade e são alegorias dos quatro rios principais da Terra (Nilo, Ganges, Danubio, Rio da Prata), a cada um deles em um dos continentes conhecidos na época. Na fonte a cada um destes rios está representado por um gigante de mármol .
As árvores e as plantas que emergem da água e que se encontram entre as rochas, também estão em uma escala maior que na realidade. Os animais e vegetales, gerados de uma natureza boa e útil, pertencem a espécies grandes e potentes (como o leão, cavalo, cocodrilo, serpente, dragão, etc.). O espectador, girando em torno da fonte, descobre novas formas que dantes estavam escondidas ou cobertas pela massa rocosa. Com esta obra, Bernini quer suscitar admiração em quem olha-a, criando um pequeno universo em movimento a imitação do espaço da realidade natural.
A fonte foi submetida a restauração, um trabalho que se deu por concluído em dezembro de 2008. Constitui um dos palcos finque da novela e o filme Anjos e Demónios, à qual é arrojado um dos cardeais sequestrados, e Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) se lança à água para lhe salvar.
Os animais da fonte
A fonte apresenta figuras de sete animais, além de uma pequena pomba e o emblema dos Pamphili. Para poder observá-las basta com dar uma volta ao redor da fonte. As figuras são: um cavalo, uma serpente de terra (na parte mais alta, cerca do obelisco), uma serpente de mar, um delfín (que funciona também como desagüe), um cocodrilo, um leão e um dragão. Notar também a vegetación esculpida que parece real.
Praça Navona.
A seguir, um texto em português, da Wikipédia a Enciclopédia livre:
A Praça Navona (em italiano: Piazza Navona) é uma das mais célebres praças de Roma. A sua forma assemelha-se à dos antigos estádios da Roma Antiga, seguindo a planificação do Estádio de Domiciano (também denominado entre os italianos de Campomarzio, em virtude da natureza rude e esforçada dos exercícios - manejo de armas - e desportos atléticos que aí se realizavam). Albergaria até 20 mil espectadores sentados nas bancadas. A origem do nome deve-se ao nome pomposo que lhe foi dado ao tempo do Imperador Domiciano (imperador entre 81-96 d.c.): "Circo Agonístico" (do étimo grego Agonia, que significa precisamente - exercício, luta, combate). Actualmente o nome corresponde à corruptela da forma posterior in agone, depois nagone e finalmente navone, que por mero acaso significa também "grande navio" na língua italiana.
As casas que entretanto e com o passar dos anos foram sendo construídas sobre as bancadas, delimitariam e circunscreveriam até à actualidade o tão afamado Circo Agonístico.
A Navona passou de fato a caracterizar-se como praça nos últimos anos do século XV, quando o mercado da cidade foi transferido do Capitólio para aí. Foi remodelada para um estilo monumental por vontade do Papa Inocêncio X, da família Pamphili e é motivo de orgulho da cidade de Roma durante o período barroco. Sofreu intervenções de Gian Lorenzo Bernini (a famosa Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fonte dos Quatro Rios, 1651) ao centro); de Francesco Borromini e Girolamo Gainaldi (a igreja de Sant'Agnese in Agone); e de Pietro de Cortona, que pintou a galeria no Palácio Pamphilj, sede da embaixada do Brasil na Itália desde 1920.
O mercado tradicional voltou a ser transferido em 1869 para o Campo de' Fiori, embora a praça mantenha também um papel fundamental em servir de palco para espectáculos de teatro e corridas de cavalos. A partir de 1652, em todos os Sábados e Domingos de Agosto, a praça tornava-se num lago para celebrar a própria família Pamphili.
A praça dispõe ainda duas outras fontes esculpidas por Giacomo della Porta - a Fontana di Nettuno (1574), na área norte da praça, e a Fontana del Moro (1576), na área sul.
Na extremidade norte da praça, por debaixo dos edifícios, foram postas a descoberto ruínas antiquíssimas, a uma cota muito abaixo da actual, comprovando a primeva utilização daquele imenso terreiro. Outros monumentos com entrada para a praça:
Stabilimenti Spagnoli
Palazzo de Cupis
Palazzo Torres Massimo Lancellotti
Church of Nostra Signora del Sacro Cuore
Curiosidades
Na Piazza Navona, está localizado o Palazzo Pamphilj, propriedade da República Federativa do Brasil, sede da Embaixada Brasileira e da Missão Diplomática do Brasil para a Itália.
HDR image processed from 7 exposures with Photomatix Pro.
Seen and captured again at the lakeside of Zurich in Stäfa ... just chosen a slightly different location and time than used for the "Red Bench" shot.
I chose a French title since - let's be honest - French titles sound f... sexy! :-)
Still a few minutes to go until entering the "blue hour", however it had to be that title!
Please check this one in Large and discover all the details (stones and stuff) in the water, which the HDR processing managed to awaken. Use the new flickr or check in Large and on Black!

My first encounter with this incredible structure was back in 1984 when I was stationed at Ft. Ord near Monterey California.
Each year around the third week of November they light the Pigeon Point Lighthouse and let the 24 main beams remain still for about 5 minutes so photographers can take long exposure pictures of the lighthouse. Afterwards the beams begin to rotate so that to a distant ship, they will see one flash every 10 seconds. I have been to this event several times since learning about it a number of years ago. Each year is different and more and more photographers show up. Unfortunately due to repairs on the lighthouse the main Fresnel lens has been removed and can be viewed in the building next to the lighthouse. Until the Lighthouse is repaired the events are postponed. Hopefully we will see it again soon.
It's truly impressive when lit. This image has been used on billboards, magazines, books, banners, pamphlets and numerous websites.
In 1853 the Clipper Ship Carrier Pigeon ran aground on rocks off the coast and sank. After several other ships followed suit it was decided to build the lighthouse was finished and lit for the first time on November 15th 1872. This event is celebrated each year with the lighting of the main lens. During the rest of the year, curtains block the view of the lens.
A new LED based beacon has replaced the Fresnel Lens and the Coast Guard beacon so it's not quite as impressive now as it was a few years ago. Hopefully the Lighthouse will receive funding and be restored. If you visit, please do bring a few dollars to donate it is greatly appreciated by all us photographers. If you cannot make it to the lighthouse but would like to help, please visit the official site at

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though its breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, youll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
Youll see the sun come shining through for you
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
Thats the time you must keep on trying
Smile, whats the use of crying?
Youll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
Thats the time you must keep on trying
Smile, whats the use of crying?
Youll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

Children’s star
As a shooting star landed on the ocean pier, it has lighten up the dark playground into children’s wonderland. The lights shined like kinder stars, the ferris wheel brighten the whole beach front, and the carnival enlightened the cheering crowd.
The hours have passed by, children have gone home, shooting star has dimmed and the pier turned dark into loneliness again.
Even though, all the children have returned with smiles in their dream, the dream that the shooting star has brought, the children’s star.

a tiny portable chess set bought at beijing's touristy yashow market -- one of the souvenirs i look at from time to time to remind me that i was there.
i suffer great disconnect between the places i've lived... at times i suspect i've imagined them. i know it sounds funny, but sometimes i look down on my old neighborhoods on google earth to reassure myself that they really, truly exist.
if i go back to visit, even after decade's absence, it feels as if nothing's changed and it's as if i never left.

cette potentille se rencontre au printemps. Elle aime les pelouses sèches et les pentes ensoleillées. Ses feuilles sont généralement composées de 5 folioles dentées sur le haut, velues mais aux poils non étoilés. Ses fleurs sont d’un beau jaune vif, aux pétales échancrés, laissant largement apparaître les sépales. Les pétales, sépales et divisions du calicule sont au nombre de cinq.
