Železniční trať z Veselí nad Moravou přes Myjavu do Nového Mesta nad Váhom si již roky žije svým poklidným životem, který je zastoupen pouze osobními vlaky a velmi vzácně se buďto na české nebo slovenské straně trati objeví nákladní vlak. Většinou se jedná o manipulační vlaky, ale jednou za dlouhý čas je zde možné spatřit i nákladní vlak, který touto tratí tranzituje. V roce 2025 zajišťuje osobní dopravu v úseku Veselí nad Moravou – Myjava dopravce Arriva a ve zbylém slovenském úseku trať obsluhuje dopravce ZSSK. Potkat tedy na této trati jinou soupravu, než motorovou jednotkou, je doslova "zázrak". K tomu však došlo dne 25. ledna 2025, kdy se do stanice Velká nad Veličkou vydal z Brna vlak Pn 52489, který vezl devět vozů řady B k dlouhodobému odstavení. Právě stanice Velká nad Veličkou je pro tento účel vhodná, jelikož je v ní dostatek volného místa pro odstavení. Dopravu vlaku zajistil "brejlovec" 754.077, díky čemuž bylo možné po letech spatřit tuto lokomotivní řadu na této trati, a to ještě v čele dlouhé "klasické" soupravy. Snímek zachycuje průjezd tohoto vlaku bývalou stanicí Lipov, kde byla v roce 2002 zavedena výluka dopravní služby a v současnosti je zde pouze nákladiště se zastávkou a vjezdová návěstidla plní funkci automatického hradla. Samotné nasazení lokomotivy řady 754 na této trati umožnilo, se na pár chvil přenést o několik desítek let nazpět, kdy v letech 1981 až 1982 vozily bratislavské "čtyřky", tehdejší řady T478.4, po této trati noční rychlík 178/179 "Devín" [Bratislava hl.st. – Nové Mesto nad Váhom – Veselí nad Moravou – Brno hl.n. – Praha hl.n.] a zpět. Ten dopravovaly v úseku Bratislava–Brno a zpět. Následně pak v letech 1997 až 1999 zajišťovaly veselské "čtyřky" vozbu manipulačních vlaků 84221/84220 z Veselí nad Moravou do Velké nad Veličkou a zpět. V čele těchto manipulačních vlaků se několikrát objevil i na snímku zachycený stroj 754.077, jelikož byl toho času deponován ve veselském depu. Od května 1999 je tak jakákoliv návštěva "čtyřkových brejlovců" v těchto končinách poměrně velkou raritou, která stojí za zdokumentování i v nepříznivém počasí.

A blizzard blew as the ship, loaded with migrants bound for Australia, sat at its moorings awaiting clearance to cast off and begin its epic journey halfway around the world. Streamers thrown optimistically between ship and shore were blown off course by the wind and lost in the driving snow, denying those parting their symbolic breaking of the bonds. Not that it made any difference to him, personally. There was no one in Southampton to bid him farewell. His goodbyes had been said a day earlier on the railway platform in Aberdeen. He was already en route to the Antipodes.
The Beatles had recently released an album to catch the Christmas market and one of its tracks, I’ll Follow the Sun, seemed particularly appropriate for this shipload of migrants. One of the young people on board the vessel had brought with him a copy of the album but had no means of playing it until the ship docked at Port Said and was surrounded by a flotilla of vendors in Bum Boats selling all manner of goods from food, to clothes, to souvenirs, to watches and electronics. He bought a portable record player and from that moment onwards, the ship followed the sun to the sound of The Beatles, through the Suez Canal, down the Red Sea and across the Indian Ocean.
After voyaging for a month since leaving wintry England, they finally docked at the port of Fremantle in Western Australia. It was 106 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale as he stumbled down the gangplank and as the hot, stifling blanket of air enveloped him, almost suffocating him, he vowed to quit this inhospitable land at the first opportunity.
Needless to say, this vow, like so many others sworn on the spur of the moment, was not honored. But he never quite became acclimatized to the rigors of the Australian summer. And every year thereafter, as winter’s chill abated, The Beatles would taunt him with another of their songs: Here Comes the Sun

From www.artic.edu/artexplorer/search.php?tab=2&resource=65:
Will the apples fall off the table? Explore the tension between stability and imbalance in this late still life by Cezanne.
Many of Paul Cézanne's late still lifes depict complex arrangements whose artificial character underscores the artist's role as contriver. They are, however, very different from the seventeenth-century Dutch prototypes to which they are sometimes compared. Cézanne never aimed at illusionism, and his still-life compositions can be anthropomorphic, expressive of psychological tension, in ways never dreamt of by his Baroque predecessors.
The Basket of Apples exemplifies this effect. The theatrical tilt of the basket implies that the apples on the tabletop have rolled out of it; yet the way they huddle and nestle in the crumpled napkin suggests that they possess independent minds. The biscuits on a plate are carefully stacked, but they too seem animate, as if straining to take in the drama unfolding before them. The bottle—slightly askew and off center, teasingly close to stabilizing union with the picture's upper edge—presides over the scene like a dark sentinel. Poised between resolution and imbalance, sensation and ponderation, The Basket of Apples makes tangible the complex eye-mind interplay that determines visual experience.
Cézanne's grave attentiveness to this dynamic gives his art a philosophical cast, but the pleasures afforded by his robust color chords, lively touch, and sure compositional instincts make it seductive. Here, his considered juxtapositions of autumnal hues, like the resolutely disjointed table edges and intentionally "unfinished" contours, draw attention to the deliberative nature of art-making.
Cézanne's determination to recognize the provisional nature of perception derives from Impressionism, but his stress on the tension between optical sensation and aesthetic transformation sets him apart. In his mature work, he found beauty of a new kind in the inherently charged dialogue between contingency and contemplation, thereby facilitating the more radical break with realistic representation effected by the Cubists and other modernists in the early twentieth century.
An examination of Cezanne's dynamic composition of fruit and objects in this still life from the mid-1890s.
Paul Cezanne spent most of his working life in and around the southern French city of Aix-en-Provence and, partially as a result of his self-imposed isolation, was for many years all but unknown in Paris. In 1895, he was persuaded by the dealer Ambroise Vollard to have a one-man show in Paris. The exhibition, held at Vollard's popular gallery, was not an important financial success, but it had a profound effect on the history of French art. It was the first time in nearly twenty years that French artists who had heard about this painter from Provence could actually see his work. Basket of Apples was among the paintings selected by Cezanne and Vollard for inclusion in this exhibition. Like several of the other paintings in the exhibition, it was signed, most probably at the insistence of Vollard, who felt that an unsigned painting might be considered unfinished and, hence, would fail to sell. Cezanne grudgingly complied, and, for that reason, the paintings in the Vollard exhibition are among the few the artist actually signed.
Basket of Apples is among Cezanne's "baroque" still lifes painted in the late 1880's and 1890's. Its pictorial structure derives from seventeenth-century Dutch still lifes. Like the Dutch artists, Cezanne sought to establish a dynamic, asymmetrical arrangement of objects that are held in place only by the painter's compositional skills. Yet, where such an effect of imbalance was merely a compositional device of the Dutch painters, it was an essential element of Cezanne's conception of the still life. Cezanne recognized the fact that the artist is not bound to represent real objects in real space. He was able, therefore, to impart to everything a strength and relative position that could not possibly be duplicated in an actual studio arrangement.
Here, the basket filled with apples tilts improbably on a small base or stand, its contents held in check only by a bottle and a cloth, in whose complex, craggy folds lie many other pieces of fruit. The table, like virtually every one in a Cezanne still life, has four edges that cannot be aligned to form an exact rectangle. At the raised upper right corner of the table, the artist created a latticed "log-cabin" of the French pastry called dents de loup, contrasting the informal and unstable arrangement of the circular apples on the table with the architectonic stack of cookies. Both arrangements vie for dominance around the central form of the bottle, which, with its own silhouette shifting from left to right, acts as an anchor for a composition in endless flux. Thus, the balance that Cezanne achieved is a purely pictorial one: the actual arrangement of objects he painted in his studio could never have possessed the dynamism and tension with which it is endowed in Basket of Apples.

s it getting better?
Or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you now?
You got someone to blame
You say
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it
Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's
Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
carry each other
carry each other
One
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much?
More than a lot.
You gave me nothing,
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
See we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love is a higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't keep holding on
To what you got
When all you've got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters and my
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...
One...

Can You hear us coming Lord
Can You hear us call

Ålesund è una piccola città-museo, ma anche uno dei porti pescherecci più attivi della Norvegia. Sorge nella parte settentrionale della regione dei fiordi, su tre piccole isole collegate fra loro. La città ha una conformazione molto pittoresca in quanto occupa sette isolette della costa occidentale norvegese. Ålesund ha un clima marittimo con inverni miti e ventosi. È il centro più importante del distretto di Sunnmøre e durante gli anni '50 e '60 era uno dei centri più importanti per la pesca dell'aringa. Tuttavia Ålesund viene riconosciuta ancora oggi come la capitale norvegese del pesce.

One day, Brother Matthias found a mysterious egg lying in the middle of the meditation path outside the monastery walls in the mountains.
He picked it up and brought it back to Redwall, his monastic enclave at the top of the mountain.
Finally, after much searching, he found some old records in the gatehouse stating that it was the egg of the Rary Bird, an extremely rare breed. Abbot Mortimer agreed they could keep the egg.
Once it hatched, the Rary Bird grew very fast and very big, though its wings were too small for it to fly. At first it happily lived on fish, but one day it suddenly attacked one of the friars.
Two novice brothers managed to overpower it before it killed anyone, but they were now stuck with the problem of what to do with the bird. They could hardly keep it tied up forever, and no one dared get close enough to kill it.
Finally, Abbot Mortimer, being the wisest of the monks came up with an idea.
"The bird cannot fly, so we shall bind it and take it to the top of the watch tower at the top of the monastery at the top of the mountain and throw it off."
Reaching the great height, Brother Matthias looking over the edge agreed saying,
"That should do it as ....
(are you ready? you can still turn back, no? okay, but don't blame me)
".... it's a long way to tip a Rary.
It's a long way to go."

Traces
Traces of lives, which traces persist beyond memory.
Traces of a past in a superfluous note that resists the symptoms of time.
Traces of what was and that fortuitous coincidence of events still remains.
Traces inside and outside of those areas in which remote presences are among the dust and dirt, buying right to exist in a specific aesthetic dimension in which the prospect of decadence determines its ephemeral beauty.
-----------------------------------------------------
Tracce
Tracce di vite, tracce che persistono oltre la memoria dell’uomo.
Tracce di un passato superfluo in un presente che resiste ai sintomi del tempo.
Tracce di ciò che è stato e che per fortuita coincidenza degli eventi ancora permane.
Tracce all’interno e all’esterno di quegli spazi nel quale remote presenze si rivelano tra la polvere e lo sporco, acquistando ragione di esistere in una precisa dimensione estetica nel quale la prospettiva della decadenza ne determina la propria bellezza effimera.

The Louvre Pyramid is a large glass and metal pyramid, surrounded by three smaller pyramids, in the main courtyard of the Louvre Palace in Paris. The large pyramid serves as the main entrance to the Louvre Museum. Completed in 1989, it has become a landmark for the city of Paris. The construction of the pyramid triggered considerable controversy because many people felt that the futuristic edifice looked quite out of place in front of the Louvre Museum with its classical architecture.
The Louvre Pyramid is the work of American architect Ieoh Ming Pei. His architectural works are characterized by the search for a certain purity of form combined with functional efficiency. The use of abstract forms and the use of cold materials such as stone, concrete, steel or glass are accompanied by a strong propensity for theatrics and technology challenges.

...and you find yourself longing for a certain drastic context
a dreadful circumstance that will tack great lengths onto your dictionary definition
to soothe your leaden understanding of bread, water, and money
now arriving by an alternate route at where the absence of such things might leave you
mind you, this is not more rich confession of a child actor
and as you would agree completely with a gift cyst as it appeared in your throat
and delight your tiny heart a moment with uncontested omnipresence will...
you've had the wind knocked out of you by something life size and you're afraid to say to your face
you stretch the pen and cheat the sleep
this sort of evening you want to say something you words cannot
note: which leaves your ghost blowing up globes
tying them off with an x axis c-clamp
and setting them down
for 7 days and 7 nights
you've sewn a cloth copy of your nervous system
to a turtle neck and pair tux pants
outside the city's dry all covered in primer
you have lost control of you hair
yesterday you were shot for a magazine cover
fatigue swapped your body build with all urge and by the door
you heard demo's creaking squeezing a squeal from your guilt against the clinging teeth of their cd-tray
all beneath the inner half of the door knob
hissing at its other head
hung in the sun
you're staring at a quill as the lump sum of its parts
and it's begun to look brutal
4 walls of day: and that alone
no empty hallway for you bearing the 100 bright light blocking doors of luck
and here in the favor of life i will
contrive no device against expectation, only announce
i have learned to respect the color yellow
for one reason or another
and in the insurmountable non strength of one's weight
and you're afraid to say to your face
you stretch the pen and cheat the sleep
since you all alone
has always been such the long audience
you spring forth, full with overconfidence
as if to say...superman

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.

After skirmishing with the Empire on OSSUS, Nathan and Ozz begin their search for the artifact called BALAAM'S HEART. On the mysterious world of DAGOBAH they find both knowledge and danger, and for Nathan, a grueling test of his spirit and will.
Nathan recoiled, slumping in his seat in the Lucky Star. He felt a sudden pang of anguish, a ripping in his soul, as spirits were separated from their bodies back on Ossus. He sensed it only faintly, but whatever caused the sensation was so powerful that it hit him with the force of a wave.
“Kid? Kid! What’s wrong!”
He felt Ozz shaking his shoulder as he drifted into unconsciousness, the strain too much to bear. When he finally woke, it was to Ozz’s worried, ugly face. Nathan stared, as though his eyes were trained on something hundreds of parsecs away.
“The Searchers are dead, Ozz. At least, I think so,” he coughed. “They killed them. Abay…all of them.”
Ozz asked how he knew this, but Nathan couldn’t explain. Finally, Ozz nodded and sighed. He believed him. He’d seen enough strange stuff by now that he wasn’t going to question this one.
They flew in silence for the next few hours.
After a brief stop for fuel (“That’s gonna be our last fill unless we start makin’ some money soon,” Ozz had complained) and the purchase of a few cheap blaster pistols, Nathan and Ozz were set to continue their search.
“I’ll need some coordinates if I’m gonna fly somewhere, Nate.”
Nathan had spent nearly all of the time since Ossus huddled in the bunk with Luke’s journal and the inscribed slates they’d found in the deep archives. He was a quick learner and a voracious student, and with the help of a few runes already translated in the journal, he was able to compile a mostly accurate key for unlocking the old tongue Balaam had used for his writings. He had no idea what it was, but it wasn’t pleasant.
The writings of Balaam were primarily daily accounts and impossible to understand musings, but they also mentioned 'home made among vines and home made among flame, whilst tethered mine soul to the dark lord wert'. Of all the planets Nathan could recall from Mayla's manifest, Dagobah was the one most likely to feature vines. At least, according to their gazette. It might just be a wild bantha chase, but it was worth a short.
The planet Dagobah came into view. It looked musty and small and remote. Sensors revealed it was entirely free of settlers, based on a lack of technology readings. But it was packed to the brim with life.
Nathan leaned over the dashboard controls with interest. "Take us in, Ozz."
"I know, I know..." said the Iakaru, rolling his eyes.
They dipped beneath a dense sea of cloud and Ozz pulled back hard on the throttle, easing them down into what was revealing itself to be a tangled, dark mass of trees.
Nathan felt the planet, just as he had felt Ossus. There, it had been the power, the war, and the secrets, but on Dagobah, he felt life. Wildness and strangeness, the circle of things. Not good, but not evil. Just very alive.
"This place gives me the willies," said Ozz, peering out the viewscreen. There wasn't much to see. It was mostly fog and the shapes of trees.
"I can see a weirdo like Balaam living here..." Nathan mused. "You don’t think he put the Heart here, do you?"
“Nah, that’d be giving me a break. Luck hasn’t done that in years.” He glanced around at the damp, dismal surroundings, his face scrunched with dread. “It ain’t gonna start on this planet.”
Ozz set the Lucky Star down on some alarmingly mushy ground, and powered down the craft. He turned to his companion and shrugged.
"Let's go find out, nerd. And hey, let's stick it to those Imps, ey? What happened on Ossus..."
Nathan understood. He clapped a hand on Ozz's shoulder. “I know.”
They gathered their equipment and trekked out into the woods. The sounds of a million living things filled the air. The smell of mildew and bog water floated up into their noses from underfoot. Tendrils of vine hung down around them from the twisting branches overhead.
"Yeah, this has got to be the place...now, Balaam's writings mention landmarks; the shores of the swamp, a grove of mushrooms, and a magic tree."
Ozz scanned the canopy with the barrel of his blaster. Something flew overhead. He jumped, but held his fire. "Yeesh! How do we know they're not on the other side of the planet?"
That was a possibility, one that tempted Nathan to despair. But he kept his hope.
"Honestly, I don't know," he admitted. "But...I don't think they are. I'm not sure why, but I've got a feeling."
The sounds of creatures and the dense foliage became obstacles they were unwilling to brave. Much to their disgust, this forced them to their only remaining option: the water. Nathan cajoled Ozz into joining him, which says something about the noises in the void of the woods and how they affected them both, that they were willing to wade chest-deep into opaque, smoky water.
"What's that smell?" Ozz groaned, the swamp water inches from his nose.
Nathan, who was miserable, gave him an incredulous look. They were soaked in oily, gunky swampwater, dragging at their clothes and limbs. Something in Nathan's mind considered what else could he dragging at his hands and legs, and images of tentacles and eels had to be forcibly pushed from his brain.
Then they saw the strangest thing.
The flicker of firelight.
They pointed it out to each other and squinted against the tepid mist. It was real.
Just as real, they discovered, were the two men sitting at the campfire, their leaning tents pitched feet away. Tall trees reaching down towards them with roots like cages.
A shore, Nathan thought. Then he remembered this planet had been on Mayla's list. These strangers could be Imperial spies.
Just as he was about to warn Ozz, one of the men called out.
"Hoy, there! I don't believe it -- people?"
"Wet, stinky people," Ozz replied. "You fellas mind if we come on up?"
The man and his companion smiled. "Please do!"
They were rescued from the swamp waters and joined the strangers around the fire. Wings beat the air above them. Something groaned in the water they'd just left. But the fire was safefy.
"We're pilgrims," explained one of the strangers, with an odd grin. "What about you?"
Nathan and Ozz looked at each other. Even Nathan wasn't willing to extend trust this time, not in a situation like this.
Ozz cleared his throat. "Err, real estate," he lied. "Nice planet like this, with no colonies? I don't get it!"
The 'pilgrims' looked at each other, then broke into laughter. "You're a funny guy. Thanks for cheering up the mood."
Nathan felt paralyzed. Fear danced at the corners of his brain, fear of what might happen if they dropped their guard. He thought about the blaster at his side, and if it would work after being submerged. If he should just shoot them both now. They had to be spies, right?
But no. That would be murder. He couldn’t do something like that. You can't just shoot someone for a suspicion. Reacting to a nebulous fear was never the right opening move, and it was wrong, he decided, to try to prevent the possibility of evil by doing something evil first. Besides, the Searchers were pilgrims, maybe these were similar types.
A glow nearby caught Nathan's attention.
Small blue spots of light scattered across the mossy ground, hidden in and among the roots of the trees.
A grove of mushrooms.
Balaam's second landmark.
He felt something pull at him, a force or energy that wanted him to come searching. It was irresistible, and clouded his mind in such a way that he forgot his fears of Imperials and treachery.
He stared long enough that one of the pilgrims caught him looking.
“What are you, uh, looking at there?” the man asked, watching him keenly.
"Oh, nothing,” Nathan said, emerging from his thoughts. “I thought I saw a...an animal, out there. It was nothing. I, uh, better just go check, though."
Ozz half-rose from his spot. "Want a second?"
And expose their backs? No. "No," he said, and he smiled reassuringly. "You keep resting. I'll be right back."
"Sure thing!" Said one of the pilgrims, and the other nodded silently.
Nathan caught Ozz's eye, and flicked his own towards the Iakaru's blaster. Ozz understood.
"I'll be right back," said the young man, who then walked deeper into the woods.
The sound of cracking fire faded into the distance as it was replaced by the hum of forest life. The mushrooms were just the start, they led him like a trail, becoming larger and wilder as he went. Finally, after chasing their path for several minutes, Nathan looked up to see the tree.
It was old. Its bark was like wrinkles, crevices in a face with no features. Its roots splayed out like enormous fingers that raked the ground. It seemed to heave with breath, to pulse, to live. Now in silence, Nathan found he was utterly alone with this ancient thing. The woods shrank back from it, as if from deference or fear. Nothing ventured close.
It beckoned him.
He felt it in his inward being. The draw.
A dark opening in its roots, like a doorway, stood open to him.
Nathan took hesitating steps. His spirit ached with restlessness, a need to see what was inside that burned and fried the edges of his nerves.
He entered the depths of the Magic Tree.
The hollow was dark.
He was alone in a den of soil. Fibrous sinew traced many-forked veins in the earth.
He felt a presence.
"Who's there?" He whispered.
"It's me, Nathan."
Mayla stepped out from behind a gnarl of root. She looked as he remembered. Sharper, even. Her bangs fell over her face, her dark eyes shone in the bare light. She walked with grace, poise, as if compensating for her stature.
"Why are you here?" She asked.
He wanted to reach out, to touch her cheek. "To...to stop the Empire. To save lives and find…something powerful."
He saw the disappointment in her face. The vulnerability, the openness that had drawn him to her in the first place.
"...I thought you were here for me?"
"I am!" He said quickly. "But...Mayla...I don't know how to find you."
She stepped closer and smiled. "I forgot, you think my name is 'Mayla'...that's okay. You've done everything so well, exactly as I wanted."
"Well, that manifest you left us has been our guide. That’s all thanks to you."
"Yes, it is. Just what was needed, right? I was always told I was resourceful."
Nathan stood a hesitant step back. His mind was swirling. Everything felt completely real, the question of how it could be happening seemed distant and foggy and not worth considering. His skepticism seemed to leave him, soaked into the walls of soil. But his reason wasn’t gone entirely, and her words started to raise flags, even in his currently-dim mind. "...What?"
"You've done just what we needed. You'll find what you seek, and the Empire will win."
Nathan started to speak, but she stepped closer, close enough to smell. She held up a finger to his lips, quieting him.
"I know you don't like that, but if you need a consolation prize...we can be together. It's the only way it'll work. Things will happen fast, Nathan."
The way she said his name made his heart flip.
"They'll happen so fast. That's how things happen, when change is coming. Your pilot will die, Syfot, some others...but you and me? We'll be alive, together, forever. And so many others, too. We'll give them safety," she said, and she winked. He could feel her breath as it mingled with the fog.
"I...want...you," she whispered, and his stomach fell. He stared at her eyes as they closed.
No.
"No," he murmured.
She leant forward, her lips parted.
"No," he repeated, and he stepped back. "You're not her," he said. "I don't want this."
Mayla's eyes flicked open, staring up into his. "You do. You want me, most of all," she smiled, her cheeks dimpling. "Remember what you gave up? Everything else -- everyone else --- was just a way of getting to me."
"No!" He stuttered, and he fell back, tripping on a root. "No, no, no!"
Her eyebrow curved. She frowned. "Nathan..."
"Not anymore!" He said. "No, I...I want to find you so bad, Mayla, but...this isn't just about you and me, not anymore. Things have changed. I'm not just in this for you anymore, I've got to…” He shook his head, trying to clear the fog. “…I’ve got to do what's right. I've got to stand up to these people. It's about the Searchers who died on Ossus, and Abay, and Jep, and...and...Ozz."
Nathan blinked, thinking of his friend. He had left his friend, his best friend, with the enemy.
"Ozz," he repeated.
"That monkey? You've got to be tired of being cooped up with that smelly, stupid thing. Trust me," she whispered, her fingers running up his arm. "I’m much better company than he is."
Nathan, eyes wide, said nothing. With all his strength of will, he pulled away, turned, and fled.
Nathan rushed through the woods. He heard screams. His name.
First from behind, in the voice of the girl he loved.
Then from the shore, echoing, hoarse, in the voice of Ozz Sabaran.
"NATE! NAAATE!" Followed by grunts and shrieks of pain.
Ozz.
The firelight flickered in the mist. A dark shape stepped into his path, weapon raised. The blood-red light of blaster fire struck a tree by his head, sparks and smoke burst from the impact.
Nathan was not afraid. He was not angry. He had to help his friend.
Desperate, he raised his hands.
His fingers curled with the warm mist.
Reached with the roots.
Stretched with the beating wings.
Stood with the soil.
He heard one of the pilgrims cry. The thrash of water and wet cloth and arms. Dragged from the shore, he disappeared beneath the surface.
The wildness of life beat like a drum in his ears.
The other pilgrim—Imperial spy—stumbled and entangled himself in the strong vines. Something seized him and pulled into the air, while he flailed his arms to try and break free of the tightening plants. The flying things took notice, their squawking growing agitated and hungry.
His cries ended abruptly, and the flailing stopped.
Nathan rushed to his friend's side. Ozz's leg was bent wrong, blood trickled from his mouth.
"Too...fast...for me," he choked.
Nathan hurried to tear a piece of tent, his hands shaking.
Ozz wiped his mouth. "What...was...?"
"I don't know," Nathan said shakily. "How about we never speak of it again? Kinda freaked out. Are you okay? I can't believe I left you here!” he cursed himself. “What’d they do?"
"Wanted...to know...what we knew. Turns out, they were spies. Can you believe it?" he said weakly, with a hint of irony.
"Your leg is broken," Nathan said gravely. "Rest here, I'm so sorry, Ozz."
"it's okay, kid, I'm alright. We Iakaru are tough sons of -- ouch!"
Nathan let the leg go, the bone now set.
"What was that?" Ozz winced.
"Oh, a trick from the orphanage. I didn't come up with it."
"Geez, rough orphanage.” Ozz shook his head, impressed and relieved. “See? Long as I got you around, I'll be right as rain. Thanks for the save, kid."
"I’ll try to be quicker next time,” Nathan said with a wry look. “Things got weird. Ozz, we have to get out of here."
"You're telling me. Did you uh, get the Heart thing?"
"I didn't get anything, but I found what we need. But I need your help. Will you…” He swallowed his pride, asking his friend openly, “please come with me? I'm...honestly, I’m afraid to go back alone."
Ozz grinned to himself, chuckling at the irony. "You need Ozzie? Even one-legged Ozzie?"
Nathan made a face. "What else is new?"
"Wanna hand me my blaster? I'm really raring for a hike. Gotta get this leg working, that’s the best thing for a hurtin’ leg.”
Nathan stood before the magic tree again, now with Ozz by his side, supported by an old branch.
Nathan had explained what he'd seen to Ozz, but despite Ozz's vigilant eye, nothing appeared from the shadows of the roots.
There was writing on the trunk of the tree. Nathan got as close as he dared. Ozz covered him with the blaster.
"Whatcha got? Anything useful?"
Nathan was scratching down notes in his notebook, thankful for the material Luke had chosen that had endured the bog.
"Coordinates in the Bark, half."
“Coordinates? Like, readable, usable coordinates?”
“Yeah, I guess it’s that simple. Maybe Balaam wasn’t so bad after all. Thanks, pal,” he said quietly to the carving.
"Simple! Ha! You telling me--"
Nathan grimaced. "—He hid the other half on a flame world? Yeah, guess it would be weird for things to get any easier."
Ozz sighed. "Yeesh, another planet with no payout. Can't wait to eat more grayweave..." He shrugged, and gave a lopsided grin to his scribbling companion.
Well, at least we won't get wet again...right, kid?"
Nathan grinned back at him, feeling very glad he was there to joke and lighten the terrible mood. There was no one he could think of he’d rather have by his side.
"Yeah. Right!"
The tree, unmoving, unknown, watched as they left, Nathan supporting Ozz as while he limped along. Soon, the Lucky Star left the atmosphere, and the ancient planet was unchanged for their visit. The roots still dug, the fog still swirled, and the creatures flew between the trees. And despite its appearance, everything was vibrant and alive.
I just couldn't bring myself to give this some cliche title like , I'm feeling under the weather, or brainstorming, or some other similar thing.

Despite most popular western beliefs, the sun is honored in a female form as well, in India. Actually, not one, but in three significant forms.
They are Gayatri, Savitri and Sarasvati, respectively. Gayatri is the early morning sun, that peeps out at the crack of dawn. It is presented in the form of a young and beautiful woman, who is initiates action.
Anyone who wakes up at dawn can confirm what a beautiful sight the sun is. And almost always there is absolute stillness before she comes out of the horizon, and when she is up, life springs into action. Birds begin to fly. Peope begin to move about. Flowers begin to blossom. Its a magical time.
This capture was taken at the same place as the previous capture. I could not resist the wires across the sun, and when I framed it, two angels in the form of the birds stopped by. What a glorious moment.
I dedicate this shot to the sun, the source of light, without which photography could not be possible...

About this shot
Especially for you I uploaded this in 1600 x 1000 pixels (about 1/3 of the orginal size) - hope you like it. Nobody believes me anymore when I say I'm afraid of heights! ;-)
This is the view from the Haagse Toren (known as 'Het Strijkijzer' or 'Flatiron', at 132m.
Its architecture was indeed inspired by the well known Flatiron building in New York. There was a *very* strong wind, and I battled a couple of showers on top, pfff!

Bandera municipal de Madrid
La bandera municipal de Madrid es de color carmesí con el escudo de Madrid situado en el centro.
El oso figura por los muchos que hubo en tiempos lejanos.
El madroño resulta de los pleitos entre el Cabildo y el Ayuntamiento por la propiedad de los montes y los pastos, llegando a un acuerdo que los pastos serían propiedad del primero y los árboles del segundo.
Las siete estrellas simbolizan las siete estrellas de la osa mayor.
Bandera de la Comunidad de Madrid
La bandera de la Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid tiene fondo en rojo carmesí y siete estrellas blancas de cinco puntas en el centro del lienzo, estando cuatro arriba y tres abajo en alineación horizontal. El rojo carmesí por la vocación madrileña de castellanidad, pues este es el color de los pueblos castellanos; y las siete estrellas por dos cosas, una, por las siete estrellas de la constelación de la "Osa Menor" que se deja ver sobre el horizonte de la Sierra de Guadarrama y que bien podría delimitar los antiguos municipios del Concejo Madrileño; y otra, por ser las siete estrellas uno de los emblemas del escudo de la ciudad de Madrid
Bandera de España.
La bandera de España, conocida como la rojigualda, fue adoptada con todos sus elementos actuales el 5 de octubre de 1981 al aprobarse la Ley que establece la última versión del escudo nacional. Con anterioridad, la Constitución de 27 de diciembre de 1978 especificaba en su Artículo 4.1: «La bandera de España está formada por tres franjas horizontales, roja, amarilla y roja, siendo la amarilla de doble anchura que cada una de las rojas». Se trata del mismo diseño que fue adoptado como pabellón nacional de España en 1785, y que, a excepción del diseño adoptado entre 1931 y 1939 en la II República, sólo ha ido variando el modelo de escudo.
Intuí nuevamente que la belleza absoluta es una especie de castigo temible, una carga casi horrorosa, casi imposible de soportar, que lleva consigo la tragedia hermosa de la perfección condenada a una existencia fugaz de apenas unos cuantas horas o días.
Recuerdo que la primera vez que vi una rosa china, en el patio de casa, casi conmovido por el rojo intenso me quedé helado cuando mi madre dijo, detrás mío, que solo viviría un día. Esa fue la primera vez en la que tuve contacto con ese concepto: la belleza extrema como carga insoportable.
El viernes volvía de la facultad con el paso algo apesandumbrado. Entendiendo que por la forma en la que las nubes estaban iluminadas solo quedaba a lo sumo 30-45 minutos de luz solar. Esa certeza aumentó el tedio porque no llegaría a tiempo para salir en bicicleta. Luego de unos cuantos pasos arrastrados y habiendo descartado la actividad física nuevamente, opté por focalizarme en los eventos próximos, principalmente en la delicada reunión de esa noche.
Fue así que en entre paso y paso, mientras imaginaba las alternativas de la reunión y el tema a charlar, percibí un movimiento cerca de uno de mis pies. Cuando bajé la mirada descubrí con sorpresa que una mariposa, tal vez la más bella que haya visto de tan cerca. Estaba en la calle, sobre el asfalto helado. Con sus alas coloridas abiertas de par en par. Acerqué lentamente la mano, pensando que se iba a volar inmediatamente. Pero no fue así, solo movió mágicamente sus alas maravillosas, pero lentamente, como si fueran una carga, y se trepó a mi dedo.
No podía volar ya que apenas podía mover torpemente sus enormes alas. Apenas podía cargar ese peso.
Ahí recordé que la belleza extrema puede ser una carga intolerable. Y pronto supe que estaba muriendo aplastada por ese peso.
Decidí llevarla conmigo. Fue así que caminé hasta la fotocopiadora unas 10 cuadras con la mariposa en la mano.
Fui buscando una latita o una botella para poder guardarla en la mochilla sin dañarla. Pero no pude encontrar ni una.
Ya en la fotocopiadora esperé las imágenes de una tomografía encefalocraneana normal, los dibujos de la correlación neuroanatómica, y el informe de la OMS, del ministerio de salud de Argentina y de México del viernes 8 de mayo sobre la gripe porcina con esa carga preciosa en mis manos.
El chico que hacía las fotocopias y otra persona que esperaba miraron mi mano y a la mariposa que en vano intentaba ocultar y en sus rostros se dibujó una pregunta que jamás vio la voz.
Fue así que llegué a casa. Casi no tenía tiempo y tampoco luz, por lo que supe que debería relegar las fotos.
La puse en la maseta del helecho serrucho, con la idea de que se mantenga fresca cerca en la tierra. Movido por cierta culpa, puse cerca una cuchara de té con miel diluida en agua y otra solo con agua… Tal vez necesitaba algo dulce.
El sábado estuve todo el día en el hospital, al llegar a la noche estaba moviendo sus alas torpemente, con una dificultad aun mayor, en el mismo lugar. Volví a relegar las fotos por la falta de luz.
Hoy domingo a la mañana apenas si movía sus alas bellas, ya no relegaría las fotos. Con la delicadeza y con el nudo en el garganta de quien acaricia a alguien que está por morir, la tomé en mis manos y me dispuse a retratarla.
Su belleza no quedaría en el silencio de una muerte anónima, tal vez destrozada por la rueda de algún auto indolente o por un pie imprudente. No lo permitiría.
Esta es una de las fotos que hice.
Esta fue la segunda vez en la volvía a rumiar ese concepto: lo efímero de la belleza extrema.
Luego de pensar un momento comprendí algo que me hizo esbozar una sonrisa.
Tuve la sensación que la osadía de ser bello es castigada con la fugacidad de la vida y que la osadía de ser inmortal se paga en ella misma, es decir, su precio es la condena a la eternidad.
Comprendí que la perfección y la vida fugaz y la vida eterna son, o bien, una especie de tormento, un castigo a quien desafía las virtudes exclusivas del Dios celoso y cristiano o bien son una forma de equilibrar las existencias de los seres.
Tanto una como la otra llevan consigo una tragedia hermosa. La tragedia hermosa de la belleza inigualable e intolerable que en su fugacidad vive apenas unos días y muere aplastada bajo su propio peso y la tragedia temible y bella de una vida eterna cargada de tormento de la que no hay salida.

Jan Kochanowski (6 VI 1530 - 22 VIII 1584)
TREN VIII
Wielkieś mi uczyniła pustki w domu moim,
Moja droga Orszulo, tym zniknieniem swoim!
Pełno nas, a jakoby nikogo nie było:
Jedną maluczką duszą tak wiele ubyło.
Tyś za wszytki mówiła, za wszytki śpiewała,
Wszytkiś w domu kąciki zawżdy pobiegała.
Nie dopuściłaś nigdy matce się frasować
Ani ojcu myśleniem zbytnim głowy psować,
To tego, to owego wdzięcznie obłapiając
I onym swym uciesznym śmiechem zabawiając.
Teraz wszytko umilkło, szczere pustki w domu,
Nie masz zabawki, nie masz rozśmiać się nikomu.
Z każdego kąta żałość człowieka ujmuje,
A serce swej pociechy darmo upatruje."
J.K.
Tren VIII
Your flight, my dearest, caused
This vast emptiness in my house.
We are so many yet no one's here:
One tiny soul and so much is gone.
You spoke and sang for all alone,
Skipped around in every corner of the house,
Never let your mother fret,
Never let your father brood,
Hugging one and then the other,
Cheering all with joyful laughter.
Now all is silent, the house stands bare,
There's no laughter, song or joy.
From every corner stares remorseless grief
As gnawing heartache vainly seeks relief.

Day 17 - i thought i'd go outside and try to grab some pics of the moon. yeah. that's a little harder than i thought. i need to read up on what i was doing wrong. i just got a big blurry orb. so instead i decided to try a little light painting. this was my fourth photo out of four. it was about a ten second exp. im not sure if it was the full ten... my battery died either during this exposure or immediately after it. no flashes were used. i just used my trusty Energizer Hard Case Tactical Flashlight to paint the blue. the upper branches were painted by my neighbors security light.
on a side note - just found out i could do rear curtain sync with my cheapo triggers... not sure what im going to do with that, but at least i can do it if i want. this photo has nothing to do with that. i just thought i would share that out loud.
LISTEN TO TAPS as performed by SGM Woody English of the U.S. Army Band.
John was laid to rest last Jan 16. He was 90 years old who served with honor and pride in World War II. He is of Italian origin and Catholic. He was given a military honor during his burial.
Taps was played by the honor guard. There were 2 guards in attendance.
First time I attended a funeral with not so much people. It was just the family of John in attendance, one friend and our family. I think when you reach the age of 90, your friends are all in heaven waiting for you.
Her wife Antoinette, who received the flag from the guard, and 2 sons who are already in their 60s or 70s were left by John.
RIP John.

I took this photo of the New York Stock Exchange, draped with the American Flag, on Wall Street, on my first trip to New York City in October 2004.
After the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the NYSE building is well protected. Not only is the entrance guarded 24/7, it is surrounded by an iron fence and concrete barriers (the planters), AND there was a big pickup truck parked across the entrance to Wall Street here, and since Wall Street is so narrow, it blocked all vehicular traffic on the street.
MORE INFORMATION OF THE NYSE:
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), nicknamed the "Big Board", is a New York City-based stock exchange. It is the largest stock exchange in the world by dollar volume and, with 2,764 listed securities, has the second most securities of all stock exchanges. Its share volume was exceeded by that of NASDAQ during the 1990s. As of December 31, 2006, the combined capitalization of all New York Stock Exchange listed companies was $25.0 trillion.
The NYSE is operated by NYSE Euronext, which was formed by its merger with the fully electronic stock exchange Archipelago Holdings and Euronext. The New York Stock Exchange trading floor is located at 11 Wall Street, and is composed of four rooms used for the facilitation of trading. The main building, located at 18 Broad Street between the corners of Wall Street and Exchange Place, was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1978.
The origin of the NYSE can be traced to May 17, 1792, when the Buttonwood Agreement was signed by twenty-four stock brokers outside of 68 Wall Street in New York under a buttonwood tree. On March 8, 1817, the organization drafted a constitution and renamed itself the "New York Stock & Exchange Board". (This name was shortened to its current form in 1863.) Anthony Stockholm was elected the Exchange's first president.In 1922, a building designed by Trowbridge & Livingston was added at 11 Broad Street for offices, and a new trading floor called "the garage". Additional trading floor space was added in 1969 and 1988 (the "blue room") with the latest technology for information display and communication.

2007 Wieliczka Salt Mine Near Krakòw
One traveled Frenchman observed in the 18th century that Krakow's Wieliczka salt mine was no less magnificent than the Egyptian pyramids. Millions of visitors, the crowned heads and such celebrities as Goethe and Sarah Bemhardt among them, have appeared to share his enthusiasm when exploring the subterranean world of labyrinthine passages, giant caverns, underground lakes and chapels with sculptures in the crystalline salt and rich ornamentation carved in the salt rock. They have also marveled at the ingenuity of the ancient mining equipment in the Wieliczka salt mine. And the unique acoustics of the place have made hearing music here an exceptional experience.
The Wieliczka Salt Mine, nowadays practically on the southeast outskirts of Krakow, has been worked for 900 years. It used to be one of the world's biggest and most profitable industrial establishments when common salt was commercially a medieval equivalent of today's oil. Always a magnet, since the mid-18th century Krakow's Wieliczka salt mine has become increasingly a tourist attraction in the first place. Today visitors walk underground for about 2,000 m in the oldest part of the salt mine and see its subterranean museum, which takes three hours or so.
Nine centuries of mining in Wieliczka produced a total of some 200 kilometers of passages as well as 2,040 caverns of varied size. The tourist route starts 64 m deep and ends 135 m below the earth surface, where the world's biggest museum of mining is located with the unique centuries-old equipment among its exhibits. Still below, some 210 m deep, there is a sanatorium for those suffering from asthma and allergy. Occasionally concerts and other events take place in the Wieliczka mine’s biggest chambers.
UNESCO has entered the Wieliczka Salt Mine in its World Heritage Register.
25 Octobre: cela fait plus de 3 semaines que plus de 150 familles dorment sur les trottoirs de la rue de la Banque, devant le Ministère de la Crise du Logement. Aujourd'hui, une délégation a été reçue par Christine Boutin, Ministre de la Ville et du Logement, mais sans résultat (apparemment, le Ministère aurait demandé une liste permettant d'identifier les familles les plus démunies afin de solutionner leur problème, mais l'ensemble des mal logés exigent une solution globale, et ont refusé cette offre).
Ici, une petite fille a l'air un peu triste ou fatiguée entre les tentes.
Merci de lire les explications en début d'album / Please read the explanations at the beginning of the set
Years ago, a friend told me a story from her childhood that I'd not heard before, and I think of it often. The story goes like this:
One morning, a little girl was looking across the valley from her house, admiring the beautiful golden windows on a house on the top of the hill.
"Mom," she said, "Do you see that house on the hill with golden windows? It must be so beautiful there, and the people who live there must be so wealthy! I'll bet they have no problems and their lives are filled with happiness every day. I wish OUR HOUSE had golden windows."
"Oh, darling," replied the mother, "no one's life is perfect. Even people who live in a house with golden windows."
"No, I think you are wrong! I want to go see for myself!" So the mother packed the daughter a lunch, and away the daughter went to cross the valley and see how wonderful life was for the people who lived in the house with golden windows.
The girl walked all day long. As she reached the bottom of the valley, she lost sight of the house but kept going. It was dusk by the time she reached the top of the other hill. But to her surprise, all she found was an ordinary house. She saw no golden ornaments, nothing that made the house look different or more special than any other house. The people looked ordinary, just like the people in her own family. She was puzzled.
Disappointed, she turned around to gaze at her own house across the valley she'd just crossed. And to her surprise, her house was ablaze with light. The windows shone with gold as the setting sun lit them up. In disbelief, she looked again at the ordinary house in front of her, then back to her house gleaming across the way.
"MY house has golden windows!" she said in amazement. She stood for a moment, struck by how beautiful her house looked from this side of the valley. She took off running back down the hill, eager to return to her family.
Addendum: it seems the dream is running fast to an end . . . and it is a sad one
A dictator always says "My people!" as if it were a herd to be gathered in a stable, in fences, uses demagogy to get people's consensus and stops freedom of thought, speech, religion and condemns and punishes each diversity.
A wise chief of his state always addresses the free citizens that believed his non demagogist plan to preserve their freedom, and knows that diversities ar richness and fuel for freedom and democracy and protects them and promotes free debate, exchange and peaceful coexistence.
The boundary between Asia and Europe is almost everywhere uncertain, but in one place it's perfectly delineated: along the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles.
So Istanbul, that spans on both sides of Bosphorus Channel, is the only city in the world being subdivided in two continents.

Galata Tower (Beyoğlu): Istanbul - Europe (in the background)

Shot it at GANGASAGAR Fair.
Gangasagar Mela(fair) is the largest fair celebrated in West Bengal. This fair is held where the Ganga and the Bay of Bengal form a nexus. Hence the name Gangasagar Mela. The river Ganga which originates in the Gangotri glacier in the snow clad Himalayas, descends down the mountains, reaches the plains at Haridwar, flows through ancient pilgrimage sites such as Benares and Prayag, and drains into the Bay of Bengal. Sagar Island, at the mouth of the river Hooghly in Bengal where the Ganga breaks up into hundreds of streams, and drains into the sea, is honored as a pilgrimage site.
A dip in the ocean, where the Ganga drains into the sea is considered to be of great religious significance particularly on the Makara Sankranti day when the sun makes a transition to Capricorn from Sagittarius and this town becomes home to vast fairs, drawing visitors and recluses from all over the state. There is a common belief among the locals that the girls who take the holy dip get handsome grooms and the boys get beautiful brides. When they are done with the ritual obligations, they head towards the Kapilmuni Temple situated nearby, to worship the deity as a mark of respect.

Brought my D700 to the cleaners, plus quite busy and a bit tired of Flickr - happens sometimes - but I'll be back and catching up! In the meantime...
About this shot
The shot above is almost two years old and actually only a 'vehicle' for some hints and tips I want to share with you for when you're preparing a (city) trip.
I took this shot with my (old and now sold) D90 + Nikon 18-200mm VRII travel lens, shooting from the back of the deck of a speedy moving river bus. It's fantastic travelling by boat in and around London! Glad I wasn't in the rowing boat though. :)
Preparing your city trip
In the 20th century (remember?) when you were sort of planning your trip, you went to a library or bookstore and got yourself a couple of books and/or travelguides from the place you we're going to visit. That's kinda old skool now.
Here's three simple tips to help you out planning your trip, picking spots with dusk/dawn in mind, and how to get inspired - all in 21st century stylee!
Tip number one: Let Flickr be your inspiration
Unless you're preparing a city trip to Atlantis (*blub, blub*), you'll find out that plenty of other excellent photographers have been visiting and shooting your destination. Take advantage of their efforts by browsing through their images, and learn from their spots and angles. You'll see the stuff that's been shot to death, so maybe you want to avoid these. Most likely though the work of others will inspire you to go out there shooting and give it your own 'personal touch/twist'.
I use Flickr search to get an idea about the possibilities of a certain location. It's a good idea to use more than one search keyword. So instead of using 'London' (for example), use 'London Thames barrier' or even better 'London Thames barrier night' to narrow down more specific results.
My personal tip is to use the filter 'Recent' on your search results. This way you'll find out the famous object you were planning to shoot is being renovated, surrounded by scaffolding - saving you the time and effort of going there all excited and end up sobbing.
An example: London Thames Barrier - Recent.
It's also a good idea to check out websites of a special spot you prepare to visit. For example: This way I found out the St. Paul (London) was being renovated and the excellent view over London you can get there is closed in March/April. I'd rather be dissapointed in advance than finding out about this after standing in a cue for 10 minutes or something.
Sometimes you're curious from what spot a photograph is taken, because you like that angle very much. Unfortunately not a lot of Flickr folks add maps to their images. Maybe to avoid that other people will 'copy' their angles? Tsk, tsk. We will find out anyhow! This brings us to my second tip...
Tip number two: Google Earth / Streetview
You'd like to explore the locations you're planning to visit beforehand? That's possible with (for example) the help of a couple of Google web applications.
Google Earth A useful download, especially with 3D elements.
Google Streetview Limited, but nonetheless useful.
While Google Streetview is very useful - it gives an excellent idea of 'being there' while you're still in front of your computer - it's rather limited because in the end it's only what it is: 'street view'. What does your photographic object look like from a boat in the middle of a river? What's a nice angle from that pedestrian bridge? How's the view from that hill? You can only find out with Google Earth. Pinpoint your location and you can check it out from any given angle. Together with the first tip (using Flickr search results) you'll get a pretty good idea if a location is promising and worthwhile enough for you. Plus you most likely will find out if there are any obstacles or unpleasant surprises making it difficult or impossible to take the shot you had in mind. No surprises for you if you prepared yourself using the tips above!
Tip number three: The Photographer's Ephemeris
Every photographer knows this, or should know it. Scott Kelby told me. ;-) There's only two periods in a day you can take shots that make a difference: at dusk and at dawn. No really!
Well, at home you can probably 'dream' where exactly the sun is coming up (east, right? hehe) and where it goes down (west - just a wild guess), which buildings it hits from that specific angle, where it sinks in the sea or where to find that nice view/spot at dusk/dawn. Now you're going to visit a different city you don't know *that* well. You know about the east and west thing and all that, but it won't be enough to be at the right spot at the right time at dusk or dawn! *Panic!*
Where's the sun going down while facing your object of photographic desire? Where's the moon? Do you want to plan a city trip with full moon? You want to prepare an evening or night session but want to know if it's in your view from *that* specific spot? Now what!?
Here comes the rather excellent Photographer's Ephemeris in handy! This little program is free for PC and Mac, and you will find it here. You pay for the iPhone/iPad/Android versions, but they're well worth it, especially the iPad edition.
You simply pick your spot (wherever!) and the date (of your future visit for example) and you'll get all the info on the whereabouts of the sun (dusk, dawn and everything in between) percentage and position of the moon, everything you'd like to know beforehand about the perfect light conditions.
Excellent stuff! That's the third and final tip, an awesome tool to plan your perfect city trip.
I also recommend Star Walk for iPhone by the way, an excellent app! Tells you everything about sunrise/sunset, the moon and all that. It's not free, but worth the money!
Summing it up and some extra tips
Free inspiration through Flickr, no more time wasting on location finding your way towards your favourite spots, and no surprises finding out the sun is out of range when you thought of catching a brilliant sunset over that stunning city view.
That being said, it's also a pretty smart idea to keep an eye on the weather conditions at all times - huge chance the unpredictable weather's going to be the biggest spoiler of your perfectly planned trip - especially going to the UK - but hey, that's life!
Even when the weather is not really cooperative you should always try to get the most out of your visit, so go out and try some rain shots or even better - when there's plenty of dark clouds floating by - bring your tripod and ND filters to create stunning Long Exposures!
I wish all of you out there a lot of fun with these hints and tips - if you already didn't use them - and happy shooting! Keep looking for that perfect angle, treat it with your personal touch!
My English is not perfect but I hope you can 'catch my drift'! :-)

Callier, a childhood friend of Curtis Mayfield, began recording in 1963 but never reached stardom despite a series of regional hits in the 1960s and 1970s. In 1983, he gained custody of his 12-year-old daughter Sundiata and decided to retire from music to look for a steadier income. He took classes in computer programming and landed a job at the University of Chicago in 1984.
He reemerged from obscurity when British DJs discovered his old recordings and began to play his songs in clubs in the late 1980s. Acid Jazz Records head Eddie Piller brought Callier to play clubs in Britain beginning in 1991 and he began to make regular trips to play gigs during his vacation time from work.
In the late 90s Callier began his comeback to recorded music, contributing to Beth Orton's Best Bit EP in 1997 and releasing the album Timepeace in 1998, which won the United Nations' Time For Peace award for outstanding artistic achievement contributing to world peace. Curiously, his colleagues at the University of Chicago never learned of Callier's life as a musician, but after the award the news of his secret life became widely known and subsequently led to his firing.
Callier today is continuing his recording career having currently released five albums since Timepeace.
May 2009 saw his album Hidden Conversations featuring Massive Attack released on Mr Bongo records.
From the Port Adelaide National Railway Museum Web site:
Dieselisation of Australia's major railway systems got away to a slow start because of a lack of local builders capable of manufacturing this type of locomotive. Initially therefore orders were placed overseas, and it wasn't until 1951, when the Clyde Engineering Co., of Granville, NSW, gained the licence to build General Motors EMD locomotives for the Australian market.
Based on General Motors-EMD's F-7 model, the design for the local product required considerable modification to conform with Australian loading gauges and axle load restrictions. This job fell to Fred Shea who produced a machine with a carbody both lower and longer than its US counterpart. The resulting A-7 (ML1) model was highly successful and aesthetically pleasing. Also, whereas the North American units were carried on four-wheel bogies, the GMs required six-wheel bogies to distribute the weight for the lighter track then in use, the traction motors being mounted on the outer axles.
GM 1 underwent its road trials over New South Wales Railways' tracks on 24th August 1951 and, on its delivery run ran as far as Albury. At Bandiana it was transfered to broad-gauge bogies and hauled the rest of the way to Port Pirie where it was once more lifted onto its own bogies. It was placed in service on 20th September.
Originally the GM1-class was restricted to the Transcontinental route between Port Pirie and Kalgoorlie but, as the standard-gauge network expanded, they ranged further afield. Eventually they were to work in all mainland states except Queensland.
The success of Fred Shea's modifications to the original design can be gauged from the fact that variations of it were ordered by the Victorian Railways, New South Wales Railways and the North-Western Railway of Pakistan. All the GMs passed to the control of Australian National on 1st March 1978, and the first were not condemned until 1988. Most have had a lifespan well in excess of thirty years and only now are they being displaced by the more powerful DL and EL classes.

Dammi un tramonto sul mare e gabbiani che planano stridendo e tubando,
dammi la sabbia umida sotto i piedi e un venticello leggero e ristoratore
dammi la spensieratezza di un fanciullo, una canzone tranquilla che mi arriva
da lontano.
Dammi uno sguardo socchiuso che accarezza una vela, l'argento del mare baciato
dal sole e una luna sorniona che, velata, lentamente s'affaccia...
dammi la tua mano forte e sicura che prende la mia e ciò basterà per rendermi
per sempre felice...
