Essa planta rasteira originária da Rússia, que geralmente tem entre 25 e 30 centímetros na fase de florescimento, possui pequenas flores azuis, flores brancas e flores rosadas presentes durante as primaveras dos mais belos jardins do planeta.

Ela deve ser cultivada sob o sol ou à meia sombra e é utilizada como forração e bordas em canteiros, além de fornecer um toque especial em composições de jardins de pedras. O Miosotis gosta de baixa temperatura, sendo que o seu cultivo é mais indicado em lugares de altitude como os que existem na região sul do Brasil, lá o Miosotis se adaptou muito bem.

Aquilo que pensamos ser as flores do Miosotis, na verdade são inflorescências terminais que se assemelham a espigas, longas, com formações de flores muito curtas e azuis..

A sua beleza é apreciada e encontrada em nos jardins de diversos países em razão da facilidade do seu cultivo. Além disso, ela apresenta mais de 50 variedades.

O Miosotis também é conhecido como Verônica. Presentear com essa planta pode representar uma bela declaração como, por exemplo: “meu amor por ti é sincero”. A forma das flores, com seus reduzidos tamanhos, sugerem simplicidade, humildade e união como condições acima de interesses materiais.

 

Curiosidades

 

As flores Miosotis também são conhecidas como “não se esqueça de mim” ou ”não me esqueças” em várias línguas — non-ti-scordar-di-me, na Itália, forget-me-not na língua inglesa etc. São várias as formas de se explicar o seu nome, são diversas as lendas e estórias que passaram de pai para filho. Em uma antiga e romântica lenda alemã, conta-se esse nome está relacionado à última frase de um cavaleiro que, tentando alcançar uma flor para oferecer para a sua companheira, por conta do peso da armadura caiu em um rio e se afogou. Em outra lenda, conta-se que o nome teria sido dado por Adão, ainda no Éden, que ao nomear as flores do jardim esquecera desta e, mais tarde, ao constatar que essa planta havia sido esquecida, deu-lhe então o nome de Miosotis como forma de compensação por seu esquecimento. Uma terceira lenda, cristã e popular, diz-se que as flores dessa planta teriam ficado da cor azul quando a Virgem Maria lhes derramou lágrimas por cima. Na Europa há um folclore que costuma atribuir diversos poderes mágicos ao Miosotis, tratando-o, por exemplo, como chave mágica para tesouros enfeitiçados.

Submitted for the Nikon D40/x/60 Challenge Group, Week 196: Flare

 

I actually really hate strobist (partially because I don't understand how it works, but mostly because I just don't enjoy working with it), but this is a shot I've been wanting to try for a long, long time now and when I saw that the Nikon D40/x/60 Challenge Group's theme for this week was "flare", I figured it was time to go ahead and try it out. It took about an hour's worth of trial and error until I got the hand and body placement relative to the strobe correct. For the most part, this image is SOOC; the only post-processing done was a bit of cloning (there was a bit of the wall behind the flash showing), a touch of added contrast and of course, the crop.

It's was quite dark already as I took this, so that's why I used the full aperture. No added vignette, what you see is natural vignetting of the lens. (:

 

Tagged by Latryx, so here is my thoughts:

 

1. What I like to photograph the most:

All kind of objects and compositions using my beloved 50mm f/1.4 and 100mm f/2.8 macro lenses. I am probably some kind of bokeh addict for most of the time nice bokeh is something I’m after. Moreover, I enjoy shooting during school exercises if I just have time to do that. :D

 

2. What I like to photograph the least:

I would like to do more portraits but I have very little experience of those. I don’t know why I’m so shy to take photos of others. However, candid shots are something I like to do when I’m just enough confident that I won’t be noticed (of course it doesn’t matter if the subject is somehow familiar to me).

 

3. Photography Peeves:

- People looking at while taking pictures, nowadays I don’t care so much about that than before…

- Being very strict about lens changes and exaggerated fear of sensor dust. :D

- My gear is quite heavy and challenging to carry all places that I would like to.

 

4. What I admire from other photographers:

- The eye of notices very interesting compositions and places

- Landscape photographers making big effort and carrying a lot of gear to difficult places just in order to take great image.

- Street photographing, it’s not the easiest thing, you have to be very observant, fast and inconspicuous at the same time.

 

5. What I'd like to learn better:

- landscape photography

- wide angle HDRs

- minimalistic art

- ultra wide angle stitches (like the previous image in my stream)

- portraits with strobist stuff (reflectors and strobes)

- candid shots of great moments

- wedding photography and generally photography in every kind of events

El Monasterio de San Juan de la Peña está situado al suroeste de Jaca, Huesca, Aragón.

El fenómeno eremítico fue importante en Aragón, al igual que en otras zonas del norte de España. Tras la entrada de Tarik en España y derrotado en 711 don Rodrigo en Guadalete, el ejército islámico avanzó con rapidez por la península ibérica. El 712, Acisclo, obispo de Huesca huyó de la misma ante el avance infiel, llevando consigo el Grial que San Lorenzo había hecho llegar a esa ciudad. Se refugió en una cueva-santuario en Yebra de Basa.

Y como él, muchos cristianos buscaron refugio en cuevas, permaneciendo bastantes de las mismas con santuarios rupestres hasta la actualidad. Por nombrar algunas de las aragoneses citaré: Virgen de la Peña en Aniés, San Cristóbal en Bolea, Gorgas de San Julián en Lierta, San Martín de la Val D´Onsera, San Martín de Capella, Virgen de la Peña en Santa Cilia de Jaca, Virgen de la Cueva en Oroel, o la propia de San Juan de la Peña, entre muchas otras.

Todas ellas en su origen son lugares sencillos, como corresponde a los eremitas que las ocupan. Sin más edificación que lo necesario para proveer sus austeras necesidades corporales y espirituales.

San Juan de la Peña, una más entre las nombradas, llegó a ser lugar preferente en la consolidación del reino de Aragón.

Aquí es donde interviene la tradición o la leyenda. Cuenta que a principios del siglo VIII, un noble joven de Zaragoza llamado Voto persiguiendo un ciervo cayó con su caballo por el acantilado de la sierra de la Peña. Habiéndose encomendado en su caída a San Juan, se posó el caballo con suavidad en una roca donde dejó sus cascos marcados. A partir de ese lugar siguió una senda que le condujo a la cueva en la que yacía el cuerpo del eremita Juan de Atarés. Su cabeza reposaba en una piedra en la que había la siguiente inscripción: "Ego Ioannes. Primus. In hoc loco, heremita, qui ab amorem Dei, hac ecclesiam fabricavi, in honorem sancti Ioannis Baptiste. Hic, requiesco, Amen".

Ambos murieron allí y fueron sepultados junto al beato Juan de Atarés. Tras ellos, otros anacoretas mantuvieron habitado el lugar: Marcelo y Benedicto, entre otros. Hacia el año 858 García Jiménez, rey de Pamplona y Galindo II conde de Aragón favorecieron al pequeño eremitorio, haciéndose enterrar allí el rey pamplonés.

En el año 920 fue consagrada la iglesia mozárabe en tiempo del conde de Aragón Galindo Aznárez II. En 959 el rey García Sánchez concedió a los monjes derecho de jurisdicción y Sancho II García y su hijo Sancho III el Mayor continuaron con la política de protección. El propio Sancho III fundó en 1025 un monasterio nuevo sobre el mozárabe existente.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The monastery of San Juan de la Peña is located at the south-west of Jaca, in Huesca,Aragón,Spain.

As a result of the Muslim invasion, a number of hermits vanished themselves to this remote spot in the Pyrinees and they created a meeting point for hermit life which lived on until the 10th century.

In the year 920, Galindo Aznarez II, Count of Aragón, conquered the lands South of the river Aragón, reaching the mountains of San Juan de la Peña, where he founded a monastery devoted to St Julián and St Basilisa, which was erected in the same place where the hermits used to live.

In 1701, Sancho Ramírez (second king of Aragón) created the Monastery of San Juan de la Peña over the old one, and he designed it as a burying place for the kings of Aragón. He also endowed the monastery with a vast estate and began the construction of its high Church.

The second half of the 12th century was disastrous for the monastery; it lost the Pope's favor and also the King's, who moved the capital of the kingdom of Aragón to Huesca. Later on, in 1157, when complete bankruptcy was looming, it was saved by Pope Adrian VI and by the Count Ramón Berenguer IV, Prince of Aragón.

In 1245, with abbot Iñigo at its head, the monastery reached an agreement that allowed it to start another peaceful spell and to become once again one of the main Benedictine centers of Aragón.

In the 16th century, the monastery underwent yet another decrease in its patrimony, owing to the separation of the dioceses of Jaca and Huesca.

In 1675 there was a great fire; the refectory, the guesthouse and the rich archive burnt in the fire. The monastery was left in a pitiful state, which led the monks to build a new monastery on the plains of San Indalecio.

You can see my new set of Choghazanbil, Susa Here

 

چُغازَنبیل نیایشگاهی است باستانی که در زمان ایلامیها و در حدود ۱۲۵۰ پیش از میلاد ساخته شده است. چغازنبیل بخش به‌جا مانده از شهر دوراونتش است.چغازنبیل در جنوب غربی ایران و در استان خوزستان بنا شده‌است. این سازه در ۳۵ کیلومتری جنوب شرقی شهر باستانی شوش در طول جغرافیایی ۴۸ دقیقه و ۳۰ ثانیه و پهنای جغرافیایی ۳۲ دقیقه می‌باشد.این نیایشگاه توسط اونتاش گال (پیرامون ۱۲۵۰ پ.م.)، پادشاه بزرگ ایلام باستان، و برای ستایش ایزد اینشوشیناک، نگهبان شهر شوش، ساخته شده است.

 

Chogha Zanbil is an ancient Elamite complex in the Khuzestan province of Iran. It is one of the few extant ziggurats outside of Mesopotamia. It lies approximately 42 kilometeres South Southwest of Dezfoul, 30 kilometres West of Susa and 80 kilometres North of Ahvaz.

 

It was built about 1250 BC by the king Untash-Napirisha, mainly to honor the great god Inshushinak. Its original name was Dur Untash, which means 'town of Untash', but it is unlikely that many people, besides priests and servants, ever lived there. The complex is protected by three concentric walls which define the main areas of the 'town'. The inner area is wholly taken up with a great ziggurat dedicated to the main god, which was built over an earlier square temple with storage rooms also built by Untash-Napirisha. The middle area holds eleven temples for lesser gods. It is believed that twenty-two temples were originally planned, but the king died before they could be finished, and his successors discontinued the building work. In the outer area are royal palaces, a funerary palace containing five subterranean royal tombs.

 

Although construction in the city abruptly ended after Untash-Napirisha's death, the site was not abandoned, but continued to be occupied until it was destroyed by the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal in 640 BCE. Some scholars speculate, based on the large number of temples and sanctuaries at Chogha Zanbil, that Untash-Napirisha attempted to create a new religious center (possibly intended to replace Susa) which would unite the gods of both highland and lowland Elam at one site.

 

Archaeological excavations undertaken between 1951 and 1962 revealed the site again, and the ziggurat is considered to be the best preserved example in the world. In 1979, Chogha Zanbil became the first Iranian site to be inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Sad to wake up today to the news that The mofoJT passed away suddenly last Tuesday.

 

I spent a long while going through his photostream, and found a great shot that has inspired this tribute shot and its title.... Everyone Dies (Explored) ...

 

This is the description of the photo, which could be a fitting tribute to someone I never knew outside of flickr;

 

Everyone dies.

It's the final and only lasting Justice. Evil exists; it is intelligence in the service of entropy. When the side of a mountain slides down to kill a village, this is not evil, for evil requires intent. Should a sentient being cause that landslide, there is evil; and requires Justice as a consequence, so that civilization can exist.

 

There is no greater good than Justice; and only if law serves Justice is it good law. It is said correctly that law exists not for the Just but for the unjust, for the just carry the law in their hearts, and do not need to call it from afar.

 

I bow to no one and I give service only for cause.

Murol est situé en zone de montagne, à quelques kilomètres de la station de ski de Super-Besse et tout proche du lac Chambon.

 

Le site est occupé depuis l'époque gauloise. Le château de Murol est construit au XIIIe siècle. Au début du XXe siècle, de nombreux artistes peintres s'installent sur place et constituent l'École de Murol, de style impressionniste.

Murol est connu pour son château de Murol construit au XIIe siècle et modernisé au XVIe siècle, assez bien conservé.

Un musée est consacré aux peintres de l'École de Murol.

On peut également rappeler que ce village a donné son nom à un fromage, le murol du Grand Bérioux.

 

Murol is situated in zone of mountain, a few kilometers away from the ski resort of Super-Besse and quite close to the lake Chambon.

 

The site is occupied since the Gallic period. The castle of Murol is built in the XIIIth century. At the beginning of the XXth century, numerous painters settle down on the spot and establish(constitute) the School of Murol, impressionistic style.

Murol is known for its castle built in the XIIth century and modernized in the XVIth century, well enough preserved.

A museum is dedicated to the painters of the School of Murol.

We can also remind that this village gave its name to a cheese, the murol of Grand Bérioux.source Wikipedia

Bergepanzer III captioned by NARA “on the road to Rheindahlen [30km W-S-W of Düsseldorf] on 27 February 1945”. During Operation Grenade, the USA 102nd Infantry Division and 5th Armored Division fought here facing elements of 176. & 183. Volksgrenadier-Division, 59. Infanterie-Division, Heeres Sturmgeschütz-Brigage.341 and Panzer-Lehr-Division. (StuG unit is omitted in map). None of them are recorded by Gen.Insp.Pz.Trp. as being issued with Bergepanzer III. However, researcher and author Hans Weber has noted 183. VGD’s organic Panzerjäger-Abteilung 219 (ie StuG.Gesch.Abt. 1564 renamed) was equipped with its first 14 Hetzer on 12 September 1944 at the Panzerjägerschule Mielau (Mlawa, Poland). This training facility had just taken delivery of 20 Bergepanzer III, with the first 10 being processed by HZA on 8 September. Thus it’s plausible Pz.Jg.Abt.219 had obtained its expected issue Bergepanzer from Mielau’s consignment of vehicles, just prior to the first Bergepanzer Hetzer being issued to any units.

 

The Bergepanzer III abandoned heading to Rheindahlen was subject of a US Army Technical Inteligence report, from which the upper right and lower right photos came. The focus was on the rarely encountered Ostketten. This Bergepanzer is later seen in a dump (bottom left photo), most likely in Rheindahlen. The knocked out Lastkraftwagen (LKW) with trailer appears to be a 1939/40 Chevrolet truck.

Fonte do Mouro (Fontana del Moro) - Fountain of the Moor - At the southern end of Piazza Navona, in front of the brazilian embassy, we find the Fontana del Moro, designed by Giacomo della Porto and erected in 1575. The fountain has statues of four Tritons and the basin is made of special antique rose marble. In 1654, Bernini carved the central figure, a muscular Triton riding a dolphin, that resembles a "Moor". Thus, the fountain is called the Fountain of the Moor. During a restoration in 1874, the original sculptures were moved to the Villa Borghese and substitute copies were made and are still on the fountain.

 

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.

 

Fonte do Mouro.

Fontana del Moro está localizada ao sul da Piazza Navona. Tem este nome devido à representação de um etíope (mouro) a lutar com um golfinho. A obra foi projetada por Bernini, para dar conclusão à fonte de Giacomo Della Porta, construída em 1576, e esculpida por Giovanni Antonio Mari, em 1654. A estátua do etíope é acompanhada por tritões e máscaras, que são cópias das originais hoje postas em algumas fontes dos jardins da Villa Borghese.

 

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

The Plain of Vic (Catalan Plana de Vic) is a 30 km long depression located at the eastern end of the Catalan Central Depression in the Osona comarca. It is named after the town of Vic, an important and ancient urban center in this natural region that lies in the midst of the plain. Other significant towns in the plain are Manlleu and Tona.

This natural depression carved by river Ter and its tributaries is longer than it is wide and stretches in a N / S direction. It is completely surrounded by mountains: The Sub-Pyrenees, with Bellmunt mountain towering in the north, the Lluçanès and Moianès high plateaus in the West, the Montseny in the southeast and the Guilleries, located at the apex of the Catalan Transversal Range and the Pre-Coastal Range, in the east.

Der Cotopaxi ist mit 5.897 m der zweithöchste Berg Ecuadors und einer der höchsten aktiven Vulkane der Erde. Obwohl aktiv, ist er der am häufigsten bestiegene Berg des Landes und einer der meistbesuchten Gipfel Südamerikas.

   

Topographie

 

Der Cotopaxi liegt in dem nach ihm benannten Nationalpark in der gleichnamigen ecuadorianischen Provinz Cotopaxi ca. 50 km südlich von Quito. Er gehört zur „Allee der Vulkane“ in den östlichen Anden.

 

Als ecuadorianischer Berg ist der Chimborazo mit 6.310 m zwar höher, aber nicht mehr vulkanisch aktiv. Als weltweit höchster aktiver Vulkan gilt derzeit der 6.893 m hohe Ojos del Salado in Argentinien/Chile.

 

Durch seine regelmäßige, konische Form und die Eiskappe auf dem Gipfel entspricht der Cotopaxi dem Idealbild eines Stratovulkans. Der Krater hat am Gipfel einen Durchmesser von 800x550 m und ist ca. 350 m tief.

 

Geschichte

 

Der Name Cotopaxi bedeutet „Thron des Mondes“. Den einheimischen Völkern der Region galt der Berg schon vor dem Beginn der Inkaherrschaft im 15. Jahrhundert als Heiliger Berg. Er wurde als Regenspender und damit Garant für die Fruchtbarkeit des Landes und als Sitz von Göttern verehrt.

 

Der erste Europäer, der versuchte den Berg zu besteigen, war Alexander von Humboldt im Jahre 1802. Er erreichte eine Höhe von ca. 4.500 m. 1858 erforschte Moritz Wagner den Berg, aber auch er erreichte nicht den Gipfel. Bis zum Gipfel gelangte siebzig Jahre später, am 27. November 1872, der Geologe Wilhelm Reiß. 1873 bestieg Moritz Alphons Stübel, 1880 Edward Whymper den Cotopaxi. Bekannt wurde auch die Besteigung des Malers Rudolf Reschreiter und Hans Meyer im Jahr 1903. Reschreiter fertigte mehrere Gemälde des Berges an.

 

Heutzutage werden regelmäßig Besteigungen mit Bergführern durch ecuadorianische Reisebüros angeboten. Hierbei kann heute bis 4.600 m mit dem Auto gefahren werden. Auf 4.800 m Höhe befindet sich die Jose-Ribas-Schutzhütte, in der Touristen übernachten können und von der aus der Aufstieg beginnt.

Seit 1738 ist der Cotopaxi etwa 50 Mal ausgebrochen. Davon waren die gewaltigsten Eruptionen die der Jahre 1744, 1768 und 1877. Die große Eruption 1877 schmolz den Gipfelgletscher vollständig ab, so dass die entstehende Schlammlawine das umliegende Land mehr als 100 km weit überflutete und die Stadt Latacunga komplett zerstörte. Der letzte größere Ausbruch war 1904, die letzte größere Aktivität 1975–76 bestand in einer Temperaturerhöhung, Rauchbildung und kleineren Erdbeben. Auch heute ist oft Rauchausstoß zu beobachten.

Sometimes we look too hard to find the perfect flower or object to take a picture of.

The idea behind these shots is to try capture those moments where the beauty is in

the natural situation and light, and not necessarily of the object itself.

Maybe it works here, maybe not ... I will let you judge that :>)

có đáng ko…bây giờ mày tỉnh giấc chưa hả…tỉnh đi

 

[Ver1- Mr.KelBi]

Lá thư cuối cùng anh sẽ viết dành cho em

Lá thư cuối cùng anh sẽ viết không trọn vẹn

Từng vết nức, từng trang giấy , anh phải viết, viết ra sao

Từng nổi nhớ, từng cảm giác, anh phải viết, như thế nào

Làm sao có thể viết lên khi 1 tờ giấy còn màu trắng

Làm sao có thể nói lên khi 1 tình iu không may mắn

Nỗi đau vẫn còn mình tôi tình iu sao phai phôi

Tình em cũng đã vậy rồi em đã ra đi theo người mới

Nước mắt vẫn còn mong theo 1 tình iu không mong đợi

Hãy thả từng nhịp cảm xúc nỗi nhớ bay xa khơi

Nỗi đau vẫn còn trong tim làm sao viết thành lời

Chỉ còn lại những hi vọng 1 tình iu không mơ tới

Nỗi nhớ ấm áp ngày nào làm sao có thể vơi

Vơi sao bao nỗi bùn tình iu sao chơi vơi

Kết thúc 1 lá thư 1 tình iu không trọn vẹn

Một bài hát đầy cảm xúc 1 kết thúc dành cho em

[Chorus-Jarry]

 

[Chorus]

Nhớ…nhớ phút giây xưa mặn nồng

Giờ em đã .. đã đi không về

Làm sao để thôi buồn,dù tình này giờ đã xa

Thì thôi anh không ước mong

 

Nay … nay trên lối xưa không còn

Một hình dung bên anh thuở nào

Giờ chỉ còn ký ức và những điều đắng cay

Đành quên , quên đi ước mơ

   

[Ver2-Lil’Sino]

Gió thổi bai tất cả chỉ còn nỗi buồn vương trên vai

Nay anh phải câm lặng để em bước típ cùng ai

Hình ảnh vẫn còn đó tình iu của anh vẫn còn đó

Bao kỉ niệm vẫn còn đó nhưng sao em nay không còn đó

Trong cuộc tình chúng ta thì anh đúng hay anh sai

Em có biết không rằng anh rất đau đớn khi chia tay

Dòng thư viết trên giấy anh không tin có ngày mai

Khi anh biết theo màn đêm em đã ra đi không quay lại

Từng nhịp tim anh đập theo làn song vỗ từng cơn

Dòng thư cuối anh viết con tim anh quá đau đớn

Khi lúc xưa đã tin rằng em sẽ không xa lìa

Nay vỡ tan dòng cảm xúc vì em đã bước cùng ai kia

Ngọt ngào rồi cay đắng em đã dành tặng cho anh

Hạnh phúc rồi nước mắt chúng đã đến sao quá nhanh

Có lẽ những ngày sau 1 mình anh sẽ típ tục

Hướng tới 1 ngày mai khi cuộc tình chúng ta đã kết thúc

[Chorus]

 

[Coda]

Dẫu biết đó lá thư này.. sẽ ko tới tay em..

Đêm ngày.. chờ mong tin em nơi xa xăm

Từng đêm anh vẫn thầm mơ

Nathan stood alone on the steps of the ruined Jedi Temple, the dunes of Ossus cascading before him. High above he could make out the dim shape of the Imperial Light Cruiser hanging in orbit. Even closer were the pristine white angles of the Shuttle soaring down to the planet, coming for them.

 

His mind raced. Why was the Empire here? Were they followed? Was the Empire tracking the Lucky Star? Had they led them right to a temple full of dangerous Jedi and Sith secrets?

 

Worst of all was the thought that Mayla was somehow involved. That he had been stupid to trust her, that she’d been playing him all along.

 

There wasn’t time to think about that now. It didn’t matter. What mattered was dealing with the situation.

 

Ozz and Eefo were safely away to the Searcher’s camouflaged outpost on the speeder bike. They couldn’t risk the Empire following them and finding the outpost, there was too much to lose there. That’s why Nathan had stayed behind: he was going to be the distraction. How very brave of him, he thought wryly. How was he going to find Mayla as a corpse?

 

He had a blaster pistol and one of Eefo’s storm conductors. It wasn’t one of his better ideas, but he could make this work.

 

Step one: draw their attention. It was crucial that he make them forget about the speeder bike. The process for this step was a little inelegant, but sometimes the obvious choice was the best one.

 

He flicked off the safety on Eefo’s blaster pistol. He couldn’t help but laugh. This was going to look absurd.

 

He raised the pistol, aimed at the shuttle, and pulled the trigger. He did this several more times, firing enough shots at the starship that it might draw its pilot’s attention. It was impossible to do any damage--especially from a few hundred feet away--but their sensors would notice, and he had to hope they’d choose the temple and the source of the blaster fire as a more interesting landing zone than wherever the speeder bike was headed.

 

It worked. He watched the shuttle nervously, but soon he could tell it had worked. Based on their flight path, they were coming in an arc towards him. He punched the air in triumph, but he didn’t have time to rest on his laurels. It was time for step two, and he had always been disciplined when it came to processes. That’s probably a part of why he had so few friends.

 

Eefo showed him how to operate her Conductor before she’d left. The Searchers used the charged chromium poles to attract Ossus’ giant storms and drain them for energy. Energy wouldn’t do him much good; all he needed was the storm.

 

He flicked the switch to reverse the charge on the pole, and left it planted in the ground. Nothing seemed to happen, and he looked at the sky anxiously. He guessed it took a few minutes.

 

The shuttle alighted a few hundred feet away, its wide wings closing gracefully with its dorsal fin, its ramp lowering with a hiss. Down walked an Imperial officer clad in gray, accompanied by a tall figure in black robes, and a squad of remnant stormtroopers.

 

It must’ve been the sight of the stormtroopers that did it. Suddenly it felt real. Those people could shoot and kill him. Nathan felt every fiber of his body push him to run and hide. But he had to wait for the storm.

 

The sky began to darken as the group of Imperials crossed the dunes toward the temple, creating a dramatic shadow over the flatlands. Lighting arced in the sky above, occasionally flashing down and striking the conductor, forcing Nathan to cover his eyes to avoid being blinded. The stormtroopers were close enough that he could make out the vents on their helmets. The storm was here, he had to move now.

 

He raised the blaster once more, and fired a bolt at the conductor.

   

With a dramatic burst of energy, it exploded, knocking him off his feet and into the temple atrium. He scrambled to his feet to find some sort of cover. He located the dead droid chassis on the staircase and clambered behind it, like a rabbit running to its warren.

 

Outside, things had become dangerous. Lighting, previously contained and directed toward the conductor, now had no conductor on which to focus. Bolts now struck the ground freely and often, crystalizing the orange sand. A flash of light incinerated a stormtrooper and created a rush of activity among the group, who dashed towards the temple doors for cover.

 

Lt. Syfot brushed himself off once indoors, surveying his squad for casualties. The Vu’othh stood by, disturbingly serene as always.

 

Syfot turned to scan the empty atrium. There was obviously someone here. Someone who would presently be killed.

   

“Come out, swine! Pathetic,” he sneered. “Troopers, find them!”

   

The stormtroopers, emblazoned with the Pyerce colors, fanned out into the ruins, E-11s raised.

 

Two approached the staircase where Nathan was hiding. Any second now and he’d be done for.

 

He turned to stare at the darkness of the tunnels. He had only just emerged from that pitch-black pit, no part of him wanted to go back down there. But he knew the way, at least better than the Imperials. It was his only chance to survive.

 

So he allowed himself to be pushed further inside the temple. He scrambled down the stairs, ignored the shout from the stormtroopers above, jumped to dodge the blaster bolts that flashed past, and ran at a sprint through one of the lower doorways. He would disappear into the dark.

   

Nathan ran, and turned, and ran, and turned, until he was sure he had taken a convoluted enough path that the stormtroopers wouldn’t easily be able to follow. It was silent now, in the horrible way that caves sometimes are, where the pressure of the rock above seems to bear down and muffle everything in a quiet dark.

 

The blaster, he realized, had fallen when the exploding conductor knocked him down. He had nothing to fight with.

 

He felt terribly alone.

 

He really didn’t want to die in the dark.

 

Thoughts of Mayla helped brighten his mood, and her smile appeared in his mind’s eye. But those thoughts were quickly soured by the possibility that she was behind the Imperials’ appearance. Instead, he remembered the only people he knew he trusted, or at least closest to it. He wished Ozz were with him; he’d be just as terrified, of course, but at least they could banter back-and-forth about the hellishness of the situation. At least he’d have a friend.

   

“You must be Nathan.”

   

His heart flew out of his chest and he stumbled to the ground. A soft blue glow touched the dusty ground under his fingers, and illuminated his arms as he raised them in defense.

   

“Woah!” he shouted. “What--”

   

A woman stood there, though what she was doing was closer to floating. She was ageless and calm, and smiled at him softly in a way that the caretakers at the orphanage had, when he looked particularly foolish and in need of rescue.

   

“I met your friend, Ozzamandes. We enjoyed a lovely conversation.”

   

Nathan starred in the way one does when encountered with a ghost, when they had previously believed ghosts to be entirely fictional. Despite his shock, he was able to mutter a skeptic, “Doesn’t sound like the Ozz I know.”

   

He climbed to his feet with some effort, suddenly afraid this glowing...whatever-it-was would give him away. And that he was going crazy.

   

The woman became suddenly urgent.

 

“Come with me, young one. They search for you. I can show you a way out.”

   

“Yes,” Nathan burst. “Please, please. Thank you!”

   

She smiled, and gestured for him to follow.

   

They hurried through the tunnels, away from the distant sounds of stormtrooper chatter and the barks of the officer.

   

“Dark spirits haunted these tunnels, until today. Your friend convinced me to banish them.”

   

Nathan wasn’t sure what to do with this information. “Wow,” is what he settled for.

   

“Come, it isn’t far now--” she turned suddenly, alarm flashing across her noble face. “What--? Such...evil,” she scowled. “That presence, do you sense it? But I banished--”

   

In a horrible dying of the light, as though her glow suddenly sickened and withered, the woman disappeared. Nathan was left alone, once more.

   

“Hello?” he called in a unnerved whisper. “W-Where did you go?”

   

He gasped and jumped. A facemask peered at him from the half-dark, a long-fingered hand outstretched.

   

“What did you do to her?” Nathan demanded, backing slowly away from this new figure.

   

The creature stepped slowly toward him, its black robes swishing against the rock-strewn ground.

   

“The spirit returned to the Force. Do not be afraid,” slithered a voice.

   

Nathan felt himself go still, bound by unseen, unfelt hands. He grunted and struggled, but the ghastly mask appeared in his vision, craning down at him. The pallid fingers pressed against his face.

   

“Come, speak to Absalom.”

   

Nathan came to with labored, frantic breaths, his body numb. He slumped against the stairs in the atrium, the crumbled edge digging into his back. Thunder rolled overhead, shaking the ground.

 

The creature from the tunnels stood watching him, but it was the Imperial officer who now filled his sight. He grinned like a madman, the sort of grin only moments away from killing you.

   

“What...the--” Nathan managed. Lt. Syfot had no patience for blubbering.

   

“You, boy. I came here for something, and--congratulations--you are in the fortunate position of giving it to me.” He cast a glance to the Vu’othh, saying quietly, “If my...consultant, is to be believed.” He then straightened and said, once again in his loudest, most in-charge tone of voice, “You seem to know these ruins well. I suspect your presence here indicates familiarity with the subject of my search. Yes, yes...I’d wager good money on that. You little leech.”

   

“Uh,” Nathan said, raising an eyebrow. “ I’m sorry, but...what the krif are you going on about?”

   

Syfot turned and whacked him painfully across the face.

   

“Shut your mouth, until I order otherwise.”

   

Hanging his head and wincing in pain, Nathan considered that maybe mouthing off hadn’t been the right move. One of his teeth felt loose.

   

“Don’t worry, I’ll have plenty of time for you to talk soon. Garel, Targonn, Yavin VI...you have been busy, haven’t you?”

   

No way, Nathan thought. He couldn’t know that was them.

   

“Yavin is, naturally, the odd one out. But to lose two spies in the same sector, in the same week? These, I am sure, were you. And from there you picked up the trail, found your way to the temples of Yavin’s moon, and of course, to here. How do I know this? Because I am brilliant, you little fool. Hit him!”

   

Before Nathan could react, a stormtrooper stepped forward and slammed the butt of his blaster carbine into his gut, knocking the air out of him. He doubled over, his side aching.

   

“And if you started on Targonn, well, I wonder which of our agents it was you encountered first…the girl?”

   

Nathan felt any number of sudden, powerful emotions. He did his best to keep all of them away from his face. He went slack, diligently avoiding Syfot’s gaze.

 

Syfot apparently found this amusing. He leaned down until they were inches apart, a smile toying at the corner of his mouth. There were scars across his face, subtle ones, ones he had tried to conceal. The violence in his eyes was overwhelming up close. It was as though a wild animal were trying to play dress up as a gentleman.

   

“Ahhh, the girl. Quite the beauty, but, as I understand, it’s only skin-deep. You must know her as...Mayla, perhaps? Oh, my poor boy. Did she put you up to this? Is she why you’re here?” He tisked sympathetically, and Nathan wanted so badly to hit him. “Then she is truly cruel indeed. Now, I admire a little imagination--let no one say differently--but most of our agents accomplish Moff Pyerce’s goals in more traditional ways. I’m not sure I approve. But…” his grin widened, as did his eyes. “I cannot complain about the results. A most useful tool you’ve proven to be, indeed. You’ve rooted out our weak links beautifully! Congratulations are in order.”

   

Syfot started to clap, then looked around to his squad. “Come now, congratulate our young friend! Quite the hero.”

   

Hesitantly, the Stormtroopers began to join in the applause. Some of them added mocking words or cheers.

 

The Vu’othh just watched.

 

Nathan stared at the ground defiantly, feeling utterly defeated. What if it was true? It wasn’t unlikely. Of course he’d been played. Of course this had all been for nothing.

   

Finally, Syfot had had his fun. He gestured for them to stop, and like that, the room was silent but for the sound of thunder. His grin disappeared. He grabbed Nathan’s shoulder and his fingers dug in, his face so close Nathan could smell his breath.

   

“Now, your chance to be truly useful. Tell me, boy, what you know. Where is Balaam’s Heart?”

   

As if on queue, the sounds of starships rose over the peals of thunder to reach their ears. The stormtroopers rushed to the doorways, and raised their blasters. Syfot stared at Nathan a moment more, running his tongue over his teeth before releasing him, and turning towards his men.

   

“What is this? What’s going on!”

   

Nathan knew, and he managed a weak smile.

 

The Searchers had arrived.

   

“Secure my shuttle! Go! You, contact the Rigorous for fighter support!” He turned last to the Vu’othh, whom he stared at as though wondering if it was worth it. When he finally spoke, it was painfully polite. “If it pleases you, any aid would be welcome.”

   

The Vu’othh bowed its head slightly, and Syfot was glad to leave off there.

 

Nathan heard the scream of TIE fighters and the sounds of battle outside. He was pulled to his feet; they were going for the shuttle.

 

They left the temple for the diminished light of the storm-cloud sky, lighting striking with no delay. The Searchers, he saw, were on speeder bikes and on foot. Their freighters were not warships, and were only useful as transports. The stormtroopers had kept the Searchers at bay, engaging them where they’d taken cover behind the rocks. The lightning was a constant danger, and struck unpredictably around the dunes.

 

Nathan was pulled out into the open, and he saw the open ramp of the shuttle waiting for him. Imprisonment, torture...Imperial victory.

 

He heard a buzz from his left, and the stormtrooper let go of his arm. A speeder bike came hurtling towards them. Blaster bolts rang past his ears, downing one of the stormtroopers, and he felt someone grab his harness. All of a sudden he was being dragged behind the bike, the sand scraping against his backside. Someone grabbed his arms, tried to help him onboard.

   

“Gotcha, kid! Not bad for a guy who’s never fished!”

   

“Ozz!” Nathan grinned. He grabbed the bike as tightly as he could with both arms and legs. Eefo was driving. “Eefo! Thank you!”

   

As selfless and heroic as their mad dash to Nathan had been, it was bound to cost them something. That’s when the bike lost control. It was struck by blaster fire in the charge, lost one of its balance pylons, and went spinning out from under them. They all had the sense to bail, jumping and rolling roughly into the sand as the bike went smashing into the sand, bouncing, losing parts with every impact.

 

The battle raged around them. Syfot and the Vu'othh passed by, making their way to the shuttle when step 3 of Nathan's plan miraculously came to pass: a stray bolt of lightning came down in the exact spot where the shuttle had been landed. Superheated molecules made impact with engine fuel, resulting in a blinding flash. A spectacular blue explosion threw sparks and metal out of the left side of its hull, and the entire thing fell unceremoniously onto its side.

   

Syfot and his entourage stopped in their tracks, staring at what had been their plan of escape.

   

"No!" Syfot shouted. He turned to survey the battlefield, and that was when he spotted Nathan, Eefo, and Ozz lying a few meters away. The three climbed to their feet, and a stand-off ensued.

  

"Contact the Rigorous," barked the Lieutenant. "They must send everything! All our forces! Crush these insects!" He ordered, before turning to Nathan with fury in his eyes. "WHERE IS THE HEART, BOY! WHERE IS IT!" He screamed, his dignity long-forgotten.

   

"You'll never get it!" Nathan taunted, unable to resist the chance to rub it in. "You're a failure! You're pathetic! And you'll never get what you want. I'm going to take it from you." Nathan glanced at Ozz. "We're gonna take it from you."

   

Ozz had enough to worry about already. He had no axe to grind, and definitely no desire to provoke the near-rabid officer any further. "No, no, just you! You're gonna take it from him. I'll just...eh, watch."

  

There was a wave of noise from behind them. The Searchers made a push forward, giving the Imperials no choice but to retreat. Abay, newly restored to his former glory, led the charge.

   

Syfot turned to run. "I'll find you! I'll find the heart! You'll rue this day, boy! You'll wish you'd never crossed my path!"

   

One of his troopers pulled him into safety behind the wreckage of the shuttle, while the Searchers similarly enveloped Nathan, Ozz, and Eefo into their own battle line.

   

"Quite a mess!" Exclaimed Abay. "But nothing we can't handle."

   

Eefo looked at the Duros with barely restrained hope. "Scriptist, are you..."

   

"Back?" He smiled. "I certainly am." He looked at Nathan. "Did you find what you need, Son?"

   

"Yes! Once this fight's over, we'll go--"

   

Abay cut him off with a shake of the head. "No. If it concerns something worthy of the Empire's interest, you must go immedietly. Take one of our speeder's back to your ship. We'll handle these stragglers!"

   

Nathan struggled with that, but Ozz knew there was no time to waste. "We'll take you up on that, gramps!"

   

Eefo turned to them, her eyes serious. "I'm really free?"

   

"Yeah, I meant what I said," Nathan replied.

   

"Then I'm staying with my people," she said firmly, with another look at Abay as though she couldn't believe it. "I'll make things right. Thank you. Don't let the Heart fall into the wrong hands."

   

Nathan gave her a wry look, considering their previous conversations. "Are there right hands?"

   

"There are wrong hands," the Rodian replied bluntly, and she pointed at the waiting speeder. "Now go!"

   

They hustled away, ducked low to avoid blaster fire. Abay called out once more before they sped away.

   

"Take heart! Find hope! And may the Force be with you!"

   

Nathan sensed a funny feeling in himself, in response to those words. A sense of kinship.

   

"You too!" He called back, and, after checking to make sure Ozz was strapped in behind him, he gunned the speeder's accelerator. They'd get to the Lucky Star and get off this planet. They had to start translating Balaam's writings, and find the next clue, and they had to hurry, before the Empire could catch up.

 

There was no time to waste.

   

The battle raged on in Nathan and Ozz's absence. The Searchers pressed their advantage, but ultimately, they were unprepared for the sheer might of the Imperial reinforcements. They fought bravely, but TIE Fighters and the arrival of three more squads of Stormtroopers proved too much to endure.

 

When they had woken up that day, only a few of their most sensitive had sensed the coming tragedy. Most of them never saw it coming.

 

Robed warriors lay still on the orange dunes, white-clad troopers walking among them and prodding the bodies with their guns.

 

Only a few remained alive, including Abay and Eefo. Van Konn died in the fighting. The survivors sat defeated in a circle, some mourned aloud.

   

Lt. Syfot, now bandaged for a minor blaster wound, commanded the situation. The Vu'othh was at his side.

   

"The Duros is strong with the force," the Vu'othh told him. "He is dangerous. He must not live."

   

Syfot listened and considered the Scriptist with an appraising eye. Abay sat kneeling, his head bowed in solemn sorrow.

   

Syfot made his decision. "Which of you knows the most of things like...this temple?" He asked the circle.

   

Slowly, Abay looked up. "I do."

   

"And have you any pupils?"

   

Eefo struggled to her feet, her head held high. "I have had the honor of learning all he knows!" Then the fire entered her eyes and her voice. "You sick, poor man. You lack knowledge and respect. Your life is a withered one."

   

Syfot sneered. "Shoot the old man."

   

Eefo's eyes went wide.

   

"No!"

   

A shout went up from the Searchers as the Stormtroopers took aim. They shot Abay, again, and again, until he'd fallen over in the sand, his body smoking. This only happened for a moment, for his body soon disappeared, fading away into nothing.

   

This disturbed Syfot, but to the eyes of those around he was only thrown off for an instant.

   

"Bring the Rodian!" He commanded. "The rest will pay for their defiance: you know what to do, Sergeant!"

   

The squad of Stormtroopers trained their blasters on the defeated Searchers. Many of the robed scholars and warriors reacted bravely. Others bargained.

 

Troopers dragged Eefo away to a waiting transport, as she struggled and raged.

   

"No! They have done nothing wrong! Leave them be! LEAVE THEM BE!"

   

Her cries were muffled by the ship, and the rest of the Searchers joined their fallen brethren in a hail of blasterfire.

 

When the Imperials were gone, and the Searchers safe at the outpost found them, rites would be performed to return their spirits to the living Force. Each one of the dead would be well mourned and dearly missed.

   

Already concerned with something else, like a child quickly bored by a toy, Lt. Syfot shook his head in unsettled frustration.

   

"The boy has our lead on the Heart. Surely he's escaped by now...blast it all to hell. What do you think, Vu'othh?"

   

The tall creature had watched the execution with passive interest. It now turned to the Leuitenant with a wave of deference and spoke in its persistently unaffected tone.

   

"Cast away your fears, Absalom," it said, voice filtered by its mask. "The child will continue the hunt as the unknowing servant of the cause. You need only go where you know he must appear."

   

Syfot thought about where this might be. His eyes grew wide with understanding.

   

"Back to Mustafar. To the house you first spoke of, yes?"

 

His tone turned threatening. "Unless he already has that part of the puzzle. If I do as you say, we might very well waste time and lose the trail."

   

"Waste not your time. Send this one, Absalom. This one submits to your will."

   

Syfot considered it, enjoying the idea not the least because it meant a great distance between him and this vile thing.

 

"Very well. Return to the Mustafar system. Wait for the boy there."

   

"As you desire," said the Vu'othh, and it bowed. Tall and thin as it was, even inclined it towered over the Lieutenant. Another reason he kept their conversations brief.

   

Syfot turned to survey the battlefield once more, his gaze idle and passive, and entirely unemotional.

 

That is, except for pride.

 

The sight of the many bodies, their robed forms at odd angles and in crumpled positions, made him smile. He so enjoyed a lack of loose ends.

   

"Back to the Rigorous, men!" He announced. "Time is of the essence, and I have a guest to host."

ENGLISH

The Sabbath or Sabbat is a supposed meeting of those who practice witchcraft, Satanism, or other rites.

 

European records tell of innumerable cases of persons being accused or tried for taking part in Sabbath gatherings, from the Middle Ages to the 17th century or later. However, there are no reliable reports on what actually happened during a Sabbath; and much of what was written about them may be the product of popular imagination or deliberate misinformation.

 

The Compendium Maleficarum (1608), by Francesco Maria Guazzo, aka Guaccio, Guaccius is a book published by an Italian priest with some illustrations of what he imagined could be a Sabbath, and gives a description of it; a brief summary can be cited as an example: "the attendants go riding flying goats, trample the cross, are made to be re-baptised in the name of the Devil, give their clothes to him, kiss the Devil's behind, and dance back to back forming a round".

 

The most common belief on which authors agreed is that Satan was present at the Sabbath, often as a goat or satyr, and many agreed that more demons were present. Another belief said that sometimes a person could offer his/her own body to be possessed by some demon serving as a medium. It was believed that the Sabbath commenced at midnight and ended at dawn, beginning with a procession, continuing with a banquet, then a Black Mass, and culminating with an orgy in which non-marital or sexual intercourse with demons in male or female form was practised. Consumption of hallucinogens and sometimes alcohol was often reported.

 

According to folklore, the Sabbath was most often celebrated in isolated places, preferably forests or mountains.

CASTELLANO

Un aquelarre (del euskera akelarre, "aker" = macho cabrío; "larre" = campo) es el lugar donde las brujas (sorgiñas en euskera) celebran sus reuniones y sus rituales. Aunque la palabra viene del euskera se ha asimilado en castellano y por extensión se refiere a cualquier reunión de brujas y brujos.

 

En estas celebraciones se solía venerar un macho cabrío negro al que se le ha asociado con el culto a Satán. Uno de los aquelarres más conocidos es el que se celebraba en la cueva de Zugarramurdi (Navarra) y de aquí es de donde le viene al ritual el nombre, del lugar donde se celebraba. Aquelarre es el nombre del campo que está delante de la mencionada cueva.

In memory of those who perished 32 years ago today, 30th September, R.I.P.

 

At about 3am on the 30th September 1976 the Admiral Van Tromp, a new powerful Scarborough trawler ran aground on the scaur at Black Nab, Saltwick Bay. There was thick fog and a heavy swell running.

 

The Whitby lifeboat, William & Mary Durham, was launched and both Whitby's and Robin Hood's Bay's coastguards were called out. Several rocket lines were fired by the coastguards, but the crew of five trapped in the wheel house, were unable to reach them. The Watson type lifeboat tried to reach the trawler by dropping anchor and drifting back to the wreck. On the first attempt the line parted. A stronger anchor from one of the trawlers standing off was used and Cox'n Robert Allen tried again. However the sea was too strong. With waves washing over her and three of the crew injured the lifeboat got to within 30 feet of the stricken vessel.

 

As daylight broke the Van Tromp lay on her side with waves breaking over her. One of the crew was spotted clinging to Black Nab, he was saved by the crew of the inshore lifeboat who drove the D class lifeboat at full speed onto a ledge and the man was grabbed just as a large wave broke over the boat and washed it back into the waters. The other four were washed ashore, but sadly two did not survive.

 

A silver medal was awarded to coxswain Robert Allen and a bronze medal to helmsman Richard Robinson for gallantry.

"When we're married," He began. "And when I'm a pro baseball player, I take you anywhere you want to go."

His fingers brushed away hair and tears from my face. The words though, made me want to cry again. You always see movies about couples and when the boy says that he'll actually marry his girl, you get all bubbly inside and can't help to smile. Its the same feeling in a person's real life. I wanted nothing more than to be with Scott forever.

"Anywhere?" My voice sounded tired but his smile gave me all the energy I would ever need.

"Anywhere."

"What if I want to go somewhere, to just go there. Like, to Iceland."

Throwing his head back with laughter, he said yes.

"What if I want to go somewhere for just a day, to see one building or park?"

Moving his face closer to mine he answered yes again. "I told you Taylor, anywhere you want to go, we'll go."

"What if I want to go somewhere and get lost with you?"

"What do you mean?"

I smiled. "Getting lost, just that. Having plans to go someplace but then something goes wrong, and we get lost. In a different side of a city, with a different view above us in a different hotel."

"I love the way you think,"

His lips met mine and this kiss felt so real. Not real in the sense that it was fake or real, but just so alive. It had so much truth and it was almost of way of Scott not having to say "We can get lost together". This kiss said it all. I pulled back though to hug him and using force, he fell on his back onto the sand.

I smiled, kissing his lips on top of him.

"Oh please," He said as he pulled away from my lips. "I let you knock me over."

His arms came onto my stomach, pushing me off of him but it was totally fine. The sand didn't hurt me.

"You couldn't knock me down if you tried your hardest!" He stood up, flexing his body- which was so sexy. I stood up and ran backwards, then foward into him. I thought he would atleast be pushed back, just a little, but nothing happened. He let out a laugh so I punched him in the arm.

"Taylor," He said repeating the "r"'s again and again. "You're really going to get hurt. I just have huge arms from baseball."

Of couse I knew that, I didn't see the reason for him telling me. As he took a step towards me, I took one back. Again and again and again until finally, I took off running down the beach. My bathingsuit jiggled on my body and my feet dug into the sand. I knew I was a good runner, but I couldn't beat him. It annoyed me to say it, but he was a better athlete.

I turned around but he wasn't anywhere. I didn't see him at all.

My heart pounded as I called out his name. Out of nowhere, his arms were around my stomach, pulling me into him. I screamed when I felt his arms but it was the kind of scream with the laugh at the end.

"Put me down!" I kicked my arms and legs in any direction they would go but even when I felt his skin beneath mine, nothing happened. I screamed again but the scream with the laugh on it as we fell into the sand. His body was still tangled in mine and his arms stood up on eaither sides of me, boxing me into him.

He pressed his lips into mine, and our kiss was so intense. I ran my fingers through his hair, hugging his neck. All I needed was his lower lip in my lips.

I'm sure if someone were to take a picure of us two, covered in sand with love in our hearts and eyes, it'd come out the same as Scott and I: Perfect.

I would like to Thank Akram & Faisalfor the testimonials. They are great photographers, check out their photostreams.

   

This photo was taken a while back at the 'hidden beach' between Santa Cruz and Daven port. It was a rainy day and the sunset never really happened as I hoped it would. As you look at the rocks in the foreground, you can just imagine how I set up my tripod! :)

 

The terrain in this beach changes dramatically! I have never seen anything like it. Every time I visit it, it looks different than the time before. Which is why I really like it.

 

I haven't uploaded photos for a while. I wasn't really sure about the colors of my monitor and thought best to hold on until I figure it out, so I did my research and bought a monitor calibration tool. I installed it last night and sure enough I found many of my sunset shots had weird color hues. This one though didn't have much color to begin with, and to set the mood right as I felt that day I decided to go for the monochrome. Not much of an expert in black & while tonality, but I hope you like it.

 

//Update: This photo made it to explore today. Thanks everyone for your comments and favs :)

Castle Roche is one of the most striking Anglo- Norman castles in Ireland and can be viewed for miles around. Located on a rocky hilltop, it commands wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. Lady Rohesia de Verdun built the castle in 1236 ad. Legend has it that Lady Rohesia promised her hand in marriage to the architect if he completed the castle to her satisfaction. When he went to claim her hand, she had him thrown from one of the windows, which to this day is known as the 'murder window'. The site of the castle marked the boundary between the Gaelic province of Ulster and the Anglo-Norman 'Pale' and overlooked an ancient route into what is now south Armagh. The castle itself comprised a great hall, which may have been up to three storeys high. Access was gained through a gatehouse with two towers. A ditch encloses this side of the castle and there may have been a drawbridge in front of the gatehouse. A meeting of all the English forces in Ireland took place here in 1561 ad.

I remember this place so well. One of my best buddies live here(not exactly these houses, but within this area) until now. He's a good real estate businessman. We often come to this village for his birthday party. Very secured place. In our younger years, we used to disassemble some of his assault rifles just for fun. We often hiked to the nearby mountain side (part of pardo), when we were like high school with our other good friends. And at one time Cafgus we're running after us. We thought they were rebels so we eluded them, but they eventually caught up with us with their M-14s and M-1s pointed in our faces, and we were brought to the barangay hall and was later released. It was good to remember that. My buddy is now a pretty good businessman probably don't have any intention of doing that again(he's no longer physically fit to do that), except for me -- and my other good friend -- who's a ranger officer who currently finds joy in being assigned to Basilan. He never lost the fire in him. hahaha. I didn't too, but I got more interested in new technology.

The Manali-Leh highway

One of the highest and most rugged highways in the world, the journey on the Manali - Leh highway is one that leaves the traveller gasping for breath on all accounts...dream like landscapes taking your breath away at almost every turn and sheer breathlessness from the lack of oxygen as you cross some of the highest roads and mountain passes in the world.

 

It connects the Manali valley to Kullu valley, Lahaul and Spiti and Ladakh and is open only between June and mid-September when snow is cleared from the road. Prominent passes that one crosses include Rohtang La (3,978m), Baralacha La (5,045m), Lachulung La (5,059m) and Tanglang La (5,325m). Between Lachlung La and Taglang La the road crosses the More plains, a vast desert like expanse at an altitude in excess of 4,500mts.

 

The journey along the road normally takes two days and many travellers make overnight stops at Jispa and tented camps such as Sarchu. Alternately, overnight stops can be made at Keylong. Owing to the high altitudes and the low-oxygen air, many travelers experience breathlessness, headaches and nausea or in some cases even acute mountain sickness.

 

The highway was designed, built, constructed and is maintained in its entirety by the Indian Army and is capable of supporting the heaviest of their vehicles. This journey is often referred to as the ultimate challenge for riding and off-roading enthusiansts and attracts bikers from all over the world.

our heavenly wolf creek pass.....just 28 miles from pagosa springs =o)

Me an' Earl was haulin' chickens,

On the flatbed 1 out o' Wiggins 2 ,

An' we'd spent all night on the uphill side,

O' thirty-seven miles o' hell called Wolf Crick Pass 3 ,

Which is up on the Great Divide.

 

We's a-settin' there suckin' toothpicks,

An' drinkin' Nehis 4 an' onion soup mix.

An' I says, "Earl, let's mail a card to Mother,

Then sen' them chickens on down t'other side.

Yeah, let's give 'em a ride."

 

Wolf Crick Pass, way up on the Great Divide.

Truckin' on down the other side.

 

Well, Earl put down his bottle,

Mashed his foot down on the throttle.

Then a couple'a boobs 5 an' a thousan' cubes 6 ,

In a nineteen-forty-eight Peterbilt 7 screamed to life.

We woke up the chickens.

 

We roared up off o' that shoulder,

Sprayin' pine cones, rocks, an' boulders,

An' put four hundred head o' them Rhode Island Reds 8 ,

An' a couple o' burnt-out roosters on the line.

Look out below. 'Cause here we go!

 

Wolf Crick Pass, way up on the Great Divide.

Truckin' on down the other side.

 

Well, we commenced ta truckin',

An' them hens commenced ta cluckin'.

An' then Earl took out a match an' scratched his pants,

An' lit up the unused half of a dollar cigar an' took a puff.

Says "My, ain't this pretty up here."

 

I says, "Earl, this hill can spill us.

You better slow down or you gon' kill us.

Just make one mistake an' it's the Pearly Gates,

For them eighty-five crates o' USDA 9 -approved cluckers.

You wanna hit second?"

 

Wolf Crick Pass, way up on the Great Divide.

Truckin' on down the other side.

 

Well, Earl grabbed on the shifte

An' he stabbed her into fifth gear,

An' then the chromium-plated, fully-illuminated,

Genuine accessory shift knob come right off in his hand.

I says, "You wanna screw that thing back on, Earl?"

 

He was tryin' to thread it on there,

When the fire fell off o' his cigar,

An' dropped on down, sorta rolled around,

An' lit in the cuff of Earl's pants an' burned a hole in his sock.

Yeah, sorta set him right on fire.

 

I looked on out ta winda.

An' I started a-countin' phone poles,

Goin' by at the rate of four to the seventh power.

Well, I put 2 an' 2 together, an' added twelve an' carried five.

Come up with twenty-two thousand telephone poles an hour.

 

I looked at Earl an' his eyes was wide,

His lip was curled, an' his leg was fried.

An' his hands was froze to the wheel,

Like a tongue to a sled in the middle of a blizzard.

 

I says, "Earl, I'm not the type to complain,

But the time has come for me to explain,

That if you don't apply some brake real soon,

They gonna have to pick us up with a stick an' a spoon."

 

Well, Earl rared back, cocked his leg,

Stepped down as hard as he could on the brake,

An' the pedal went clear to the floor,

An' it stayed right there on the floor. 10

He says, "It's sorta like steppin' on a plum."

 

Well, from there on down it's just not real pretty,

It was hairpin county an' switchback city. 11

One of 'em looked like a can full o' worms.

Another one looked like malaria germs.

 

An' right in the middle of the whole damn show,

Was a real nice tunnel, now wouldn't you know?

Sign says, "Clearance to the twelve-foot line,"

But the chickens

was stacked to thirteen-nine.

 

Well we shot that tunnel at a hundred-n'-ten,

Like gas through a funnel an' eggs through a hen,

We took that top row of chickens off,

Slicker than scum off a Lousiana swamp.

 

Went down an' around an' around an' down,

An' we run out o' groun' at the edge of town.

Bashed on into the side of a feed store,

In downtown Pagosa Springs 12 .

 

Wolf Crick Pass, way up on the Great Divide.

Truckin' on down the other side.

Wolf Crick Pass, way up on the Great Divide.

Truckin' on down the other side.

Patatas bravas are fried potato dices (sometimes part-boiled and then fried, or simply boiled) served with salsa brava, a spicy tomato sauce. Alioli is often served with it too.

 

Tapas (IPA: [tapas]) is the name for a wide variety of appetizers in Spanish cuisine. They may be cold, such as mixed olives and cheese, or warm, such as puntillitas, Andalusian battered, fried baby squid. In the United States and the United Kingdom, tapas have evolved into an entire cuisine; at Spanish restaurants, patrons may order many different small tapas, and combine them for a full meal.

CASTELLANO

Las patatas bravas son unas patatas cortadas en forma de dados irregulares de unos dos centímetros de tamaño aproximadamente y que están fritas en aceite y acompañadas de una salsa de tomate picante que se vierte sobre las patatas sirviéndose todo el conjunto caliente. Este plato es muy habitual en los restaurantes y bares de España, donde existe mucha tradición de tomarlas con una caña (vaso de cerveza) o con un chato de vino, servidas como ración o como tapa.

 

Una tapa en España es esencialmente un aperitivo que se sirve en un bar o restaurante acompañando a la bebida, generalmente sin coste económico adicional. Tradicionalmente, la forma habitual de consumirla es tomando una o dos por local junto con la bebida y luego desplazándose a otro bar, donde se repite el proceso. A este consumo itinerante (local, consumición y nuevo local) se le llama tapeo, o ir de tapas, y puede alargarse durante tanto tiempo como quieran los participantes y queden locales abiertos; en muchas regiones de España es bastante habitual salir a cenar o a comer los fines de semana a base de tapeo. Sin embargo, con la mejora en la variedad culinaria de las tapas, cada vez es más frecuente quedarse en un solo local y comer o cenar a base de un conjunto de tapas o raciones (el mismo alimento, pero en mayor cantidad), forma de comer referida habitualmente como picar o picoteo.

The Gothic loftiness of Notre-Dame dominates the Seine and the Ile-de-la-Cité as well as the history of Paris.

 

Notre-Dame de Paris is a church, a place of Roman Catholic worship, where Christians come together to pray. It opens its doors to people to participate in services or to freely visit the cathedral all year long.

 

Notre Dame de Paris was among the first buildings in the world to use the flying buttress (arched exterior supports). The building was not originally designed to include the flying buttresses around the choir and nave. After the construction began and the thinner walls (popularized in the Gothic style) grew ever higher, stress fractures began to occur as the walls pushed outward. In response, the cathedral's architects built supports around the outside walls, and later additions continued the pattern.

 

For a look at the upper parts of the church, the river, and much of Paris, climb the 387 steps to the top of one of the towers.

One of my favorite quotes of a great human being - one of the countries most revered and beloved leaders. Abraham Lincoln served as the 16th President of the United States of America. He successfully led the country through its greatest internal crisis, the American Civil War, preserving the Union and ending slavery by issuing his Emancipation Proclamation in 1863.

L'atmosfera che si respira lungo il percorso dei Navigli Milanesi è davvero particolare.

Accanto ai locali di ritrovo, punto di incontro dei giovani, coesistono antiche botteghe artigianali, studi artistici e pittorici, vecchi cortili ricchi di storia e di colori... una parte della nostra Milano così bella e affascinante.

The Corvair FC's were designed to compete with the Volkswagen Transporter/Microbus/Pickup type II vehicle of the time. Chevrolet did some market research and determined that those who bought the VW products did so because they had more interior volume than a pickup based sedan delivery, were smaller outside, were more economical and easier to handle in city traffic. VW owners complained about the type II's lack of power, lack of an automatic transmission, small load rating and the relative uselessness of the pickup body.

 

The Chevrolet reply to the Volkswagen is really very much like a modern minivan or mini pickup. It has 80-110 horsepower, 130-160 lb-ft of torque (depending on year and engine option), weighs 2800-3000 lb, and has similar exterior dimensions to a Plymouth Grand Voyager. Unlike the modern vehicles, though, all Corvair FC's have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4600 lb, which works out to about a 3/4 ton payload. All Corvair 95's with stock paint were delivered in two-tone: one of about six colors with a white accent stripe. A white body was also available, which came with a red accent stripe. The Greenbrier Sportswagon was available with a limited range of the Corvair car colors for that year. The same accent stripe color rule applied. Fleet purchases could be any color or combination by special order, and were indicated by special codes stamped onto the body dataplate on the front cowl. So if you look in the book to find the original paint color for your FC Corvair and discover that the number on the body data tag (which is located on the kick panel by the handbrake) isn't in the book, chances are your truck was factory painted in some commercial livery. These numbers are decodable by Chevrolet, should you desire to reproduce the original paint.

 

The Corvair 95 Corvan panel van (model R1205) was an industrial delivery van and was produced 1961-1964. It had a lot of volume in a relatively small package and had a loading height of only 18" above the pavement into the side doors. It could be optioned from bare-bones (no heater, no radio, single speed wipers, painted bumpers) to pretty nice (chrome bumpers and trim, dual speed wipers with washer, direct air or gasoline heater, second and third bench seats, side and rear doors with windows). Normal Corvans have six doors: two front, two on the right side, and two rear. A second pair of side barn-doors was available on the driver's side as an option. Ma Bell bought quite a few Corvans.

 

The Corvan was also available with a full-window option, which made it look like a Greenbrier. But the comfort options had to be individually checked off just as with the panel van. The four square side windows didn't roll down unless you bought the "roll- down windows" option. The window option Corvan was primarily intended for ambulance and taxi use.

 

FC engines were the same size as the Corvair car engines of that year: 145 c.i. from 1961-1963, and 164 c.i. in 1964 and 1965. In all year models they have a special oil filler/dipstick tube location: a 1" hole on the right rear of the crankcase. This allows the engine oil to be checked and adjusted on an fc without raising the rear cargo deck, which is normally screwed down and is raised only for maintainance items like changing air cleaners, synchronizing carburetors, or overly intrusive concours inspections at CORSA meets. FC's also have a special low-height version of the 1961-1963 car air cleaner system to make the drivetrain fit under the deck.

 

Early Corvair 95s and Greenbrier Sportswagons were only available with one engine: a heavy-duty truck rated version of the 80 hp base car engine. Compared to the car engine, the FC version had exhaust valves of tougher metal, exhaust valve rotators, reduced compression, and richer carburetor jetting. As with the cars, the 1961-62 Forward Controls came with the highly efficient "folded-fin" oil cooler. 1963 models were equipped with the 8-plate cooler.

 

The 1964 and 1965 standard engine was the 95 hp base sedan engine with the same modifications mentioned above, except that they use the "heavy duty" 12-plate oil cooler. Greenbriers were also available with the 110 hp engine as an option. 1965 Greenbriers (and therefore all 1965 FC's) have alternators, all other years and models have generators.

 

All years and models came with a 3-speed manual transmission as standard equipment, with optional 4-speed manual and Powerglide automatic transmissions. Three final-drive ratios were available: 3.27:1 (default with '61 four-speed Greenbriers--good for highway cruising), 3.55:1 (default for all other FC's) and 3.89:1 (for heavy towing or mountain climbing). Manual transmission FC's had different gear ratios than the cars of that year to better match the power curve of the engine to the larger tires and greater weight of the vehicle. Powerglides were equipped with a special external fluid cooler under the battery box.

Icy wind blows between the houses, flashes quickly in the night on the streets of the rotten city. A shade, a woman, her eyes are shiver and charm, her look magnetize you, it won't let you go.

The photoshoot shows the creature in an own perspective, who became nowadays very popular in books, films and series. The vampire. The immortal being of the past, the present and the future.

Look at the whole series!

 

Az időn át - Vámpír krónikák (a jelen)

Jeges szél süvít a házak közt, fürgén cikázik az éjszakában a romlott város utcáin. Egy árny, egy nő, a szeme borzongás és igézet, megbűvöl a tekintete, nem ereszt.

A sorozat saját szemszögünkből mutatja be azt a lényt, aki mára oly divatossá vált könyvekben, filmekben és tévésorozatokban. A vámpírt. A múlt, a jelen és a jövő alakját, aki halhatatlansággal bír.

Cette image fait suite à mon dernier (et premier de l'année) panorama enneigé. Pour être plus précis et d'une point de vu purement technique ce panorama,

viens même avant le précédent (White world) la photo ayant été prise en premier.

 

En effet Matiz et moi même avions pour but ce jour là de nous mettre en quête d'une petite jetée en bois faisant face au massif du Sancy. N'ayant pas fait de repérage au préalable et ne disposant que d'une fenêtre restreinte de météo clémente, il nous à fallu presser le pas, pour arriver sur les lieux in-extremis.

 

Le lac Chambon a été formé par le volcan le Tartaret qui a obstrué le lit de la Couze Chambon, il est situé à 877 m d'altitude, peu profond (4 m), mais assez vaste (60 ha). Ses rives sont très découpées, sauf au nord où une plage a été aménagée pour la baignade et les activités nautiques.

 

Un sentier permet d'en faire le tour en environ une heure. Une partie du sentier a été réaménagé en 2006 et des portions sur pilotis permettent de suivre la rive du lac en passant dans les zones marécageuses.

 

Au nord du lac Chambon se dresse une aiguille rocheuse, ancien vestige du volcan la "Dent du marais", dite "Saut de la Pucelle" :

 

Une légende raconte qu'une jeune bergère, pour échapper aux assiduités du seigneur, se serait jetée du haut de cet éperon rocheux, s'élevant à près de 100 m, et aurait miraculeusement atterri indemne. Elle se serait vantée de son exploit au village et, devant l'incrédulité des villageois, aurait voulu recommencer, mais cette fois se serait écrasée au sol...

 

Si nous n'avons pas croisé de villageois pratiquant le base jump, la neige et le froid en revanche eux en manquaient pas !

 

A bientôt

Snow falls on El Alto.

 

El Alto is the sister city of La Paz, right next to it but above, in the altiplano. While La Paz expands downwards along the valley, with the richest population leaving in the lowest parts, El Alto is growing further from it, peopled by poor immigrants from the highlands.

Lionel Andrés Messi (Rosario, Argentina, 24 de juny de 1987) és un futbolista argentí, format a les categories infantils del F.C. Barcelona. Va debutar amb el primer equip del Barça en partit oficial en la temporada 2004-2005 i va començar a destacar a partir de la següent. Per les seves habilitats futbolístiques molts mitjans de comunicació l'han qualificat com el successor de Diego Armando Maradona.

La carrera esportiva de Lionel Messi arrenca l'any 1995 amb el Newell's Old Boys, club al qual va pertànyer fins a la temporada 1999-2000. Amb només 13 anys el jove jugador va travessar l'Atlàntic per venir a provar sort a Barcelona, on es va incorporar al Futbol Club Barcelona com a infantil.

Des de llavors Messi ha tingut una progressió espectacular per les diferents categories (Infantil A, Cadet B, Cadet A, Juvenil A, Barça C, Barça B i primer equip) en un temps rècord. Durant l'exercici 2003-2004, Messi va assolir, amb només 16 anys, el gran somni d'estrenar-se amb el primer equip en un partit amistós davant del Porto, que va servir per inaugurar el nou Estádio do Dragão.

Ja en la temporada següent, la de la dissetena Lliga, l'argentí va fer la seva estrena oficial amb el primer equip. Va ser el 16 d'octubre del 2004 en el derbi que el Barça va guanyar a Montjuïc (0-1). Les greus lesions de diversos jugadors del primer equip i el seu gran paper amb el filial van permetre que Messi fos un jugador habitual en les convocatòries.
