Maresme's territory occupies a long and narrow area between the Mediterranean Sea and the hills of Serralada Litoral (Catalonia's coastal mountains), and specifically Montnegre's and Corredor's hills in the northern half and Sant Mateu's hills in the southern half. This particular shape has conditioned both the geography and the history of this comarca. Probably the main distinct elements of its geography are the characteristic rieres (torrents). These short, intermittent water streams, which cross the comarca transversally almost every hundred meters, produce powerful and dangerous floods when it rains.
Canet des de els Tarongers
Maresme has been historically very well connected with the rest of the comarca as well as with Barcelona thanks to old Camí Ral (Royal Way) (actual N-II main road) and railroad (The Barcelona–Mataró railroad route, finished in 1848, was the first ever in all the Iberian Peninsula). Communications were enhanced in recent years with the construction of the C-32's Barcelona–Mataró section (1969), which was the first autopista (highway) ever in Spain, and its subsequent enlargement, the Mataró-Palafolls's section (1995).

The world's newest metro line opened today for passengers. The East London line combines the best of 19th and 21st century technologies, passing through the Brunel Tunnel under the River Thames. The tunnel, opened for train service in 1869, was the world's first underwater tunnel. The Victorian features are complemented with state-of-the-art modern tracks and new arch bridges.
The carriages and stations are spacious - much more so than the Docklands Light Railway - and passengers can walk through from one carriage to the next should the nearly empty space soon fill up with eager commuters.

'Wire art / Arte con alambre' On White
ENGLISH
A sample of things that somebody can do with the wire of the cap of "cava".
Cava is the name of a type of white or pink sparkling wine, produced mainly in the Penedès region in Catalonia, Spain, 40 km to the south west of Barcelona. Its name is derived from the Catalan word for cellar. There are a small number of areas in Spain outside Catalonia that also produce Cava.
The region of Penedès is an area of predominantly rocky terrain, and has been home to vineyards since the Greeks settled there in antiquity. It has a favourable climate for wine-making; the north and eastern winds of the levanter help to cool the region, while the chalky top soil over clay allows the vines to establish deep roots.
The sparkling wine of cava was created in 1872 by Josep Raventós. The vineyards of Penedès were devastated by the phylloxera plague, and the predominantly red vines were being replaced by large numbers of vines producing white grapes. After seeing the success of the Champagne region, Raventós decided to create the dry sparkling wine that has become the reason for the region's continued success. In the past the wine was referred to as Spanish Champagne but this is no longer permitted under EU law, or colloquially as champaña or xampany.
Cava is produced in varying levels of dryness of the wine which are: brut nature, brut (extra dry), seco (dry) and semiseco (medium).
Under Spanish Denominación de Origen laws, Cava can be produced in six wine regions and must be made according to the Méthode champenoise and uses a selection of the grapes macabeo, parellada, xarel·lo, Chardonnay, and Subirat. Despite being a traditional Champagne grape, Chardonnay was not used in the production of Cava till the 1980s.
In Spain, Cavas have become integrated with family traditions and is often consumed at baptism celebrations with even the newborn getting a taste of their pacifier dipped in the wine.
Cava is a Greek term that is used to refer to "high end" table wine or wine cellar. Comes from the Latin word "CAVA" which means cave in English. Caves were used for the preservation or aging of wine. The constant, slightly chilly temperature and high humidity that most caves possess makes them ideal for such use.

CASTELLANO
Una muestra de cosas que alguien puede hacer con los bozales de alambre de los tapones de "cava". Yo alguna vez he hecho una silla.
El cava es un vino espumoso elaborado por el método champanoise fundamentalmente en la región del Penedés catalán (95% de la producción española), especialmente en la localidad de Sant Sadurní d'Anoia (75% de la producción española). También se elabora cava en otros puntos de España.
El cava se empezó a producir a partir de las investigaciones del Instituto Agrícola Catalán de Sant Isidre que defendió el méthode champenoise pero a partir de las variedades blancas autóctonas del Penedès. Josep Raventós i Fatjó produjo, en 1872, las primeras botellas de cava en la masía de can Codorniu, en Sant Sadurní d'Anoia.
En 1887 llegó la plaga de la filoxera al Penedès arruinando los cultivos de uva. Eso condujo a una renovación de las variedades utilizadas, con la introducción de cepas blancas de calidad en sustitución de variedades negras. Esta sustitución facilitó el desarrollo del cava.
En 1972, ante el conflicto con Francia por la denominación protegida champán, se constituyó el Consell Regulador dels Vins Escumosos que lanzó la marca Cava recogiendo el nombre común ya utilizado de vino de cava.
Las variedades de uva que entran en su elaboración son variadas pero predominan las uvas blancas: macabeo, parellada y xarel·lo. También se utilizan otras variedades blancas en menor cuantía: Chardonnay y Subirat Parent (Malvasía Riojana).
Existen cavas rosados que se elaboran con las variedades monastrell, garnacha, pinot noir y trepat. Las dos primeras variedades se pueden utilizar, además, para la elaboración de Cava blanco.
La producción anual es de unos 12 millones de cajas (de 12 botellas), siendo el segundo productor mundial de vino espumoso, después de la región de Champagne. Aunque la mayor parte de la producción procede de Cataluña, también hay bodegas productoras de cava en Aragón, Castilla y León, Extremadura, La Rioja, País Vasco, Navarra y Valencia.

Bethy would want you to View On Black
I'm already feeling the let down now that my 30 Song in 30 Days journey is over. It wasn't the first time I've used music to inspire my photography, and it certainly won't be the last, but I do need a bit of a break. So I tried to think about where to find my source of inspiration and it dawned on me that I am most inspired by the people who touch my life on a daily basis. My friends. So I decided that I am going to spend some time paying tribute to some of the wonderful flickr folks who have inspired me in the past and continue to do so every day that they post their beautiful works of art here for us to see.
In case you couldn't guess, today I am paying tribute to my good friend, Bethy. Bethy was one of my first real friends here in flickrland, and to this day remains one of my closest. Her photography is intense, dark, moody, and emotional. She pulls off this particular genre better than anyone I've seen and in such a perfectly Bethy way. As a person she is honest, open, caring and so fun. I can't believe with as close as we now live to each other, that we haven't gotten together in person yet. However, that is going to change in just a little over a week! And I cannot wait! I had so much fun playing around and trying to capture the essence of her style today. I'm not sure if I really did her justice, but I sure tried my best! I even selected an esoteric Bethy-style quote for my title. :)
Bethy, I love you, girl!

Po tom, čo pravidelné nasadzovanie r. 714 na osobných a zrýchlených (Sp) vlakoch bolo ukončené alebo úplne minimalizované, zmizli aj "vežové" motorové lokomotívy z osobnej dopravy. To sa zmenilo s postupným dokončením modernizácie r. 742 na r. 742.3 pre ČD a zároveň so zavádzaním výhradnej prevádzky ETCS. Táto rada, prioritne do budúcna slúžiaca na rôzne preťahy súprav, vozňov, hnacích vozidiel a napäťové výluky na tratiach vybavených ETCS, sa začala vďaka ešte nedodaným motorovým jednotkám r. 847 používať v osobnej doprave turnusovo.
V grafikone 2024/2025 išlo v okolí Prahy o 3 rôzne pravidelné turnusové dni, pričom 2. deň TS 721 v soboty, nedele a sviatky znamenal nasadenie do Turnova. To nám dokumentuje záber 743.213 na vlaku Sp 1551 Český ráj [Praha hl.n. – Turnov] s vchodovým mechanickým návestidlom do stanice Křinec. Pretože objednávateľ dopravy požadoval vo vlakoch aj niekoľko miest na sedenie v prvej triede, bolo nutné do súprav radiť riadiace vozne ABfbrdtn795, čo môže na súprave obiehanej "kokotkou" (kvôli absencií mobilnej časti ETCS na riadiacom vozni) pôsobiť komicky, až bizarne.
Wish I could tell people what this is, but I don't know. It's some kind of a memorial or shrine next door to the Mexican Market in Los Angeles. It's quite an astonishing sight. The entire area is surrounded with votive candles, and those flowers are piled up to nearly 15 feet deep around that tree. When I was there the fence around the area was crowded with people praying or buying candles or flowers to add to the thousands already there.
There's so much to see in this photo it's best seen in large on black
Hopefully someone from the LA area will know its name and purpose.
ADDENDUM:
Thanks everyone who made the comments below. They've triggered a memory - I have a vague memory that there was also a banner here. I took this in December so my memory is a little fuzzy on some details. I think this was a memorial to a little girl who had cancer, but possibly also to police officers (like Orbitgal mentions below).
And Re: the colours and processing, yeah, it's a little much for me too. I originally did this and then shelved it. Should have mentioned that. I think I'd be better ahead to possibly post the originals with only minimal touching up, but after I tonemapped this and played with the cropping I kind of liked the way it came out so I thought I'd post it.

La belleza de la división en las algas desmidiáceas no es casual, nace de su equilibrio y de este equilibrio depende su supervivencia. Todos los désmidos tienen su cuerpo repartido en dos mitades exactamente iguales y en Micrasterias estas dos mitades son planas y se recortan en lóbulos triangulares representando así el contorno de una estrella.
El equilibrio en estas estrellas de agua se mantiene a lo largo de toda su vida incluso cuando llega el tiempo de su partición, no sólo está señalada la línea exacta por la que estas algas han de dividirse y repartirse en dos cuerpos idénticos, sino que a medida que las dos mitades hijas se renuevan la hacen al mismo tiempo y siempre juntas, hasta que el desarrollo termina completándose, a partir de aquí serán independientes y harán su propia vida… y lo que hace Micrasterias, es costumbre de familia que hacen también sus hermanas.
Está claro que si Micrasterias se partiera en dos, sin permanecer unida a su mitad gemela , con su cuerpo se partiría también su equilibrio y con él posiblemente su vida que se hundiría en el agua incapaz de anirmarse con la luz del sol. La belleza en Micrasterias es equilibrio y este equilibrio es su vida.
Micrasterias rotata es un alga de turberas y de lagunas de montaña, a la que le gustan las aguas limpias y ligeramente ácidas. Vive ahora un buen momento y por eso se multiplica partiéndose en dos, dos hermanas que vivirán juntas hasta hacerse adultas para perderse después solas en el universo del agua.
La estrella verde de hoy procede de unas muestras recogidas al salir el sol en unas praderas inundadas de las inmediaciones de la Laguna de Peñalara y va dedicada a todos estos amigos con quienes tuve la suerte de compartir este maravilloso proyecto de Biodiversidad virtual. La fotografía se ha tomado a 200 aumentos empleando la técnica de campo oscuro.

ENGLISH
The meerkat or suricate Suricata suricatta is a small mammal and a member of the mongoose family. It inhabits all parts of the Kalahari Desert in Botswana and South Africa. A group of meerkats is called a "mob", "gang", or "clan". A meerkat clan often contains around 20 meerkats at a time, but some superfamilies have had 50 or more. Meerkats have an average life span of 12-14 years.
At the end of each of a meerkat's "fingers" is a non-retractable, strong, 2 cm (0.8 inches) long, curved claw used for digging underground burrows and digging for prey. Claws are also used with muscular hindlegs to help climb the occasional tree. They have four toes on each foot and long slender limbs. The coat is usually fawn-colored peppered with gray, tan, or brown with a silver tint. They have short parallel stripes across their backs, extending from the base of the tail to the shoulders. The patterns of stripes are unique to each meerkat. The underside of the meerkat has no markings but the belly has a patch which is only sparsely covered with hair and shows the black skin underneath. The meerkat uses this area to absorb heat while standing on its rear legs, usually early in the morning after cold desert nights.

CASTELLANO
La suricata o suricato (del swahili, "gato de roca") es un pequeño mamífero, miembro de la familia de la mangosta, que habita la región del desierto de Kalahari y el Namib en África.
Es una de las mangostas más pequeñas; los ejemplares adultos pesan aproximadamente un kilogramo y rondan los 50 centímetros de largo, de los que hasta 25 corresponden a la cola.
Es una especie diurna y de costumbres sociales. Son animales excavadores, que viven en grandes redes subterráneas con múltiples entradas. Sólo las dejan durante el día. El tamaño de las colonias puede alcanzar los 40 individuos.
Las suricatas tienen garras fuertes y curvadas que utilizan para cavar, y un hocico bastante puntiagudo. El pelaje es marrón claro, con franjas cortas paralelas de color más oscuro en la espalda. Son conocidos por permanecer de pie en sus extremidades traseras vigilando en búsqueda de presas o para evitar ser sorprendidos por sus depredadores.
La suricata es carnívora, consumiendo sobre todo insectos y arañas y también otros pequeños mamíferos. Cazan en grupos y protegen a sus jóvenes.
Las suricatas suelen ser criaturas simpáticas; por ello, en su zona de origen no es infrecuente que se las domestique como mascotas. En Occidente no se las considera aptas como animales de compañía, puesto que su comportamiento es sumamente destructivo en un domicilio urbano; en numerosos países la tenencia de suricatas, como de cualquier animal salvaje, está penada por la ley. Estos animales pueden transmitir la rabia, por lo que en África han sido perseguidos, aunque no ha disminuido mucho su número como para estar en peligro de extinción.
Las suricatas adquirieron algo de fama entre el público angloparlante después de que David Attenborough presentara Meerkats Unidos, un documental de la BBC sobre ellos. La suricata de ficción más conocida probablemente sea el personaje Timón de la película El Rey León.

El Real Monasterio de Santa María de Poblet es el prototipo de abadía cisterciense española y panteón real de los reyes de la Corona de Aragón, desde Alfonso II.
Localizado en la comarca de la Conca de Barberà, en la localidad de Vimbodí, en Tarragona, el primer cenobio fue impulsado y patrocinado por el conde Ramón Berenguer IV, quien lo entregó a los monjes bernardos de la abadía de Fontfroide en el año 1149 (siglo XII).
Enriquecido con distintas donaciones, alcanzó su máximo esplendor en el siglo XIV, y su total decadencia y abandono en 1835 como consecuencia de la desamortización de Mendizábal. En 1930 se inició su restauración, de forma que en 1935 pudo dedicarse nuevamente la iglesia al culto, y en 1940 retornaban a su abadía algunos monjes. No todos los espacios pueden visitarse, por ser dependencias en clausura utilizadas por los cistercienses que de nuevo ocupan el monasterio.
En 1991 fue declarado por la UNESCO Patrimonio de la Humanidad. Poblet, junto con Guadalupe, El Escorial, San Millán de Yuso y San Millán de Suso son los monasterios en España que gozan de este título.
The Monastery of Santa Maria de Poblet is a Cistercian monastery, founded in 1151, located in the comarca of Conca de Barberà, in Catalonia (Spain). It was founded by Cistercian monks from France.
It was the royal pantheon of the kings of the Crown of Aragon since James I of Aragon.
This monastery was abandoned in 1835 and was restored during the 1940s.
This monastery was the first of three sister monasteries, known as the Cistercian triangle, that helped consolidate power in Catalonia in the 12th century. (The other two are Vallbona de les Monges and Santes Creus)
It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, since 1991.

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 :>)

Nota de prensa:
La Universidad de Valladolid y el Estudio Teológico Agustiniano llevarán el 1 de abril a Roma la exposición fotográfica y audiovisual 'Plenilunio de Primavera' sobre la Semana Santa de Valladolid y Medina de Rioseco, junto a la de la localidad calabresa de Nocera Terinese (Italia).
La muestra contará con la presencia en la capital italiana de los alcaldes de Valladolid, Francisco Javier León de la Riva, y Medina de Rioseco, Artemio Domínguez, y estará acompañada de un ciclo de conferencias en la que participarán el responsable del Centro Internacional de Religiosidad Popular de la UVA, José Luis Alonso Ponga, y el cardenal y arzobispo emérito de Sevilla, Carlos Amigo.
La exposición es un nuevo fruto del trabajo del centro académico que desde hace dos años investiga las raíces culturales y populares de las manifestaciones religiosas de Pasión en el Mundo y como ha explicado su comisario, José Luis Alonso Ponga, se centrará en mostrar la Semana Santa como "un gran evento cultural generador de turismo" basado en la religión.
Así, en el Instituto Portugués de San Antonio, situado junto a la piazza Navona de Roma, se inaugurará 'Plenilunio de Primavera' el próximo 1 de abril con unas 85 fotografías sobre las semanas de Pasión de Valladolid y Medina de Rioseco y otras 20 de Nocera Terinese y con documentos audiovisuales que en el caso de las localidades vallisoletanas estarán fundamentadas en el lenguaje fílmico para que "no haga falta entender el español".
León de la Riva y Alonso Ponga han recalcado su agradecimiento a la colaboración de las embajadas de España en Italia y ante la Santa Sede, así como al municipio calabrés. Asimismo, el comisario ha apuntado que la oficina de Turespaña en el país transalpino "hará algo para dar a conocer" la iniciativa cultural.
El regidor vallisoletano ha explicado que los romanos y demás visitantes podrán conocer en la muestra dos modelos de Semana Santa españoles con determinadas diferencias que "se pueden extrapolar a muchos lugares". No obstante, ha recalcado el "trasunto evidente" entre ambas expresiones religiosas.
Mientras tanto, su homónimo riosecano ha explicado que en el caso de su localidad se incidirá en la "Historia, presente, valor artístico, gastronómico y turístico". Además ha insistido en que la Semana Santa de Medina de Rioseco cuenta con el reconocimiento de Interés Turístico Internacional desde hace un año y que desde entonces se trata de "luchar por estar presentes en proyectos" para su promoción.
Ambos alcaldes han subrayado el trabajo de José Luis Alonso Ponga en el Centro Internacional, ya que en dos años y medio ya ha organizado en Valladolid dos congresos de Religiosidad Popular así como una exposición sobre la Semana Santa en Nuevo México (Estados Unidos).
El coordinador de la muestra ha incidido en que la vertiente española tratará de dar a conocer las semanas santas "en casa de otros" y acercarse a los orígenes, evolución y actualidad de la Pasión. La elección de Nocera Terinese en la exposición responde a que su región (Calabria) estuvo bajo dominio español hasta el Siglo XVII, por lo que se podrá comprobar como han evolucionado las expresiones religiosas en zonas que hoy pertenecen a países distintos.
Alonso Ponga ha añadido que el Centro Internacional trabaja actualmente en posibles colaboraciones futuras con Cagliari y las semanas santas que se desarrollan en la isla italiana de Cerdeña, así como con Nápoles, Palermo y Filipinas. No obstante, ha advertido de que la posibilidad más cercana es el acuerdo con Nuevo México.
Por su parte, el vicerrector de Internacionalización de la UVA, Luis Santos, ha apuntado que el "conocimiento y la investigación" deben trascender el ámbito universitario en todos los campos y por ello ha subrayado la labor "fundamental" de Alonso Ponga".
La exposición, que se mantendrá en el Instituto Portugués hasta el 24 de abril (Domingo de Pascua) y se acompañará de un catálogo editado por el Ayuntamiento de Valladolid con artículos de los profesores universitarios de Valladolid José Luis Alonso Ponga, Ramón Pérez de Castro y Pilar Panero; Messina (Sicilia), Francesco Faeta; y La Sapienza (Roma), Antonello Ricci.
Los fotógrafos que ceden su material de manera altruista son José María Pérez Concellón, Pedro Muñoz Rojo, Luis Laforga, Juan Carlos Urueña, Carlos González Ximénez, Eduardo Margareto, Fernando Fradejas, Jesús Ubal, José Ángel Gallego, Teresa Castilviejo y José Alonso Martín.

Since I didn't want to brave the weather last August 10, my 366 Snaps shots were taken inside the house.
Several of 'em were of the rain on various windows....
=========
Actually, I had an idea for a daily photo: I'd shoot a pic of Joan's CD collection. This turned out to be surprisingly difficult, as poor light and the small room worked against me. The bigger problem was the minimum focus distance for the lens, which forced me to lean against the far wall of the room. The smaller problem was that exposures were in the quarter-second range.
I worked at improving the light. I got serious about steadying the camera. I tried several ways to frame the picture. I shot several dozen photographs. Eventually I made a capture I was willing to share.
==========
This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps.
Number of project photos taken: 87 [you doubted that "dozens"?]
Title of "roll:" Playback
Other photos taken on 8/10/2012: A grey day, but by noon the rain had stopped. All afternoon I was shooting pix of birds at feeders, using both Nikons. I'm pretty sure we never saw any sunshine...
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in the fields of gold
So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in the fields of gold

This is a colour print I did in the 1970s when Desi was about 10. She loved to dance. The fellow was a distant relation of Kitty's and a pro song and dance actor who was visiting with us in Wimbledon.
I brought the print back recently from Hungary and decided to scan it.
This is for the techie visitors.
I have quite an old HP Scanjet 6300 flatbad scanner. There is no driver for it under OS X but as the iMac is my main system I eventually obtained a copy of VueScan which can drive it. For whatever reason the last few scans (saved as TIF) although looked OK in the scanner preview ended up very rough in PS or LR. Finally I fired up my equally old Windows desktop and scanned the picture using the latest (ie early 2000) proper HP driver and got a much better result. Further oddity - I am running Windows 7 RC on it. So far it looks promising.
Raleigh, NC
Explored: Mar. 30th 2009
Luis and I had some real awesome ideas for the shoot and the first was scratched because of rain and the other was because the place we had didn't come through for us. Since we didn't have many other options on a Saturday night in Raleigh, NC, we just set up shop in the back of venue and had fun. He is easily one of the nicest people I have worked with so far. This guy has a lot of heart and it shows on his new album, which will be out April 21st.
We were real lucky to have his tour manager with us to keep kids from finding ways back there and bothering us. He was awesome. Some kids are just too funny and I wish I had recorded some video of them.
My lights are still on medical leave, so I had to make do with the good ole speedlites, once again...

Stanici Maden opouštěl dne 15. září 2023 dálkový spoj AH 52013 "Güney Kurtalan Ekspresi" [Kurtalan–Ankara], který byl veden lokomotivou DE 22.037. Město Maden leží v údolí mezi menšími pohořími Maden Dağları a Akdağ na východě Turecka, kde železnice a dálnice společně překonávají rozsáhlé pohoří Taurus. Toto nevelké město je známé zejména díky krásné krajině a také díky těžbě měděné rudy, ze které se následně získává stříbro.
I spotted this little cutie yesterday in the woods. I think it's a Molothrus ater (female). Sounds better than Brown-headed Cowbird (female) doesn't it? lol In any event I thought this shot was cute and full of detail. The pose of standing on one foot really makes me smile ;) This photo is only cropped a tiny bit otherwise it's SOOC.
"The Brown-headed Cowbird is a stocky blackbird with a fascinating approach to raising its young. Females forgo building nests and instead put all their energy into producing eggs, sometimes more than three dozen a summer. These they lay in the nests of other birds, abandoning their young to foster parents, usually at the expense of at least some of the host’s own chicks. Once confined to the open grasslands of middle North America, cowbirds have surged in numbers and range as humans built towns and cleared woods."

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.
Vulkanismus
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.

Passano gli anni,
i treni, i topi per le fogne,
i pezzi in radio,
le illusioni, le cicogne.
Passa la gioventù,
non te ne fare un vanto:
lo sai che tutto cambia,
nulla si può fermare.
Cambiano i regni,
le stagioni, i presidenti, le religioni, gli urlettini
dei cantanti......
E INTANTO PASSA IGNARO
IL VERO SENSO DELLA VITA
Si cambia amore, idea, umore,
per noi che siamo solo di passaggio.
Soffia la Verità
nel Libro della Formazione.
Passano gli alimenti,
le voglie, i santi, i malcontenti.
NON CI SI PUO' BAGNARE
DUE VOLTE NELLO STESSO FIUME.
né prevedere i cambiamenti di costume.
E INTANTO PASSA IGNARO
IL VERO SENSO DELLA VITA
Ci cambiano capelli, denti e seni,
a noi che siamo solo di passaggio.

Varanasi is one of the holiest cities and centres of pilgrimage for Hindus of all denominations.[107] It is one of seven Hindu holiest cities (Sapta Puri), considered the giver of salvation (moksha).[108][109] Over 50,000 Brahmins live in Varanasi, providing religious services to the masses.[108] Hindus believe that bathing in the Ganges remits sins and that dying in Kashi ensures release of a person's soul from the cycle of its transmigrations. Thus, many Hindus arrive here for dying.[110]
As the home to Kashi Vishwanath Temple Jyotirlinga, it is very sacred for Shaivism. Varanasi is also a Shakti Peetha, where the temple to goddess Vishalakshi stands believed to the spot where the goddess Sati's earrings fell.[12] Hindus of the Shakti sect make a pilgrimage to the city because they regard the river Ganges itself as the Goddess Shakti.[citation needed] Adi Shankara wrote his commentaries on Hinduism here,[citation needed] leading to the great Hindu revival.
As of 2001, Hindus made up approximately 84% of the population of Varanasi District

I became a lover of red later in life.
I took a course on colours years ago, very interesting, a real eye-opener... all very logical!
HOW THE COLOR RED AFFECTS US PHYSICALLY:
It increases enthusiasm.
It stimulates energy and can increase the blood pressure, respiration, heartbeat, and pulse rate.
It encourages action and confidence
It provides a sense of protection from fears and anxiety.
Red stands for Happiness, Celebration and Ceremony!
Red is the color most commonly associated with joy and well being. It is the color of celebration and ceremony. A red carpet is often used to welcome distinguished guests. Red is also traditional color of seats in opera houses and theaters. Scarlet academic gowns are worn at by new Doctors of Philosophy at degree ceremonies at Oxford University and other schools. In China, it is considered the color of good fortune and prosperity, and it is the color traditionally worn by brides. In Christian countries, it is the color traditionally worn at Christmas by Santa Claus, because in the 4th century the historic Saint Nicholas was the Greek Christian Bishop of Myra, in modern-day Turkey, and bishops then dressed in red
Being creative is not a choice... it is an urge in me.

Newsong : Lá Thư Không Trọn Vẹn
Trình Bày và Sáng Tác : Mr.Kel ft lil.Sino , lil.lenz
Lyric : [Intro]
Jarry: Sino mày kéo thằng kelbi lại coi đừng để nó nhảy
Lil’Sino: Ông làm gì vậy ông bị điên hả …dừng lại
KelBi: Mày đừng cản tao ……huhuhu
Jarry: vì 1 đứa con gái có đáng để mày làm vậy không hả…thằng kia
Lil’Sino: đừng làm vậy…. hãy viết cho nó 1 lá thư đi
KelBi: lá thư hả…. tao phải viết làm sao đây
Jarry: viết bằng cảm xúc thật của mày đó…..bao nhiu ngày qua… mày lụy con nhỏ này
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

This was supposed to be my contribution for Salon8.
When I used Maxime as a model for testing the light, she came out so much more beautiful and vulnerable.
In the end I chose her for Salon8, and this one was ment to be in my '365 times me', i guess.
I noticed there were so many different types of leaves that had fallen and gathered on the shores of Rock Lake. Such a variety of trees in that area!

The ancient Roman city of Iesso, mentioned by classic authors Pliny the Elder and Ptolemy, identified by the preserved archaeological site in the village of Guissona.
Iesso was founded around the year 100 BC exploiting the natural resources of the flat Guissona: the presence of abundant water and ease for the exploitation of agricultural land nearby. This city has developed over more than seven centuries an important and constructive business. The current state of research allows noted that the Roman city of Iesso is walled and polygonal form a plant of about 15 and 18 are long, with a regular urban development characterized by a network of orthogonal streets, according to the models of the Roman cities of the time. To the second century BC and first century BC, is the foundation of the Roman city of IESSO. A city perfectly organized and structured with orthogonal streets, with a wall that protects the city center, with areas of cemeteries and public spaces. Its economy is based on agriculture, although there are also small articles such as pottery and domestic looms. This city has a very long endurance reaching s. VI AD. After that date there is a little-known period archaeologically and historically, that extends until S.XI. It is the period of confrontation between the Arab world and the counties feudal Catalans, and our land becomes "no man's land", where the border between the two worlds.The story continues to s. XI, particularly between 1010 and 1023, in which there is a process of recovery from the county of Urgell. Finding a strategic defensive and is a sufficient defense tower or castle in the current PL. of Capdevila, around which the people were rising. Guissona is set to Closa medieval village.Since the eleventh century until the thirteenth, the domain of the village of Guissona is shared between the Bishop of Urgell and the family Fluvià. In this double lordship is in our arms, showing the lineage of Fluvià (the waves of water) and the domain of the bishop (the Greek cross). From s. XIII, the lordship passed entirely into the hands of the bishop, which explains the presence of several palaces Episcopal our people. The last of these palaces are built around the seventeenth century and occupied the land where currently there is the Plaza del Obispo Benlloch, the City Council and the Catholic Center. We must stress also the work of Fluvià, an episcopal palace unfinished initiated by Bishop Peter Cardona with a style of detransició beginning of the s. XVI, the work that still rest with us. Another example of the importance of this domain is the religious renewal that affects the parish church. At the end of the s. XVIII, the former Romanesque church dedicated to s. XI is demolished and in its place is a temple built in neoclassical style, the majestic dimensions that still exists today. Especially the Baroque altarpiece of Solomonic dedicated to the Virgin
Lord make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
And where there is sadness, joy.

O divine master grant that I may
not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love
For it is in giving that we receive-
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
And it's in dying that we are
born to eternal life.
Amen

Considerado como el máximo centro religioso de México (recibe aproximadamente 20 millones de personas al año), este edificio, el cuarto levantado en honor a Santa María de Guadalupe, fue consagrado el 1 de mayo de 1709. El arquitecto Pedro de Arrieta colocó en cada una de las puertas un relieve con una de las apariciones a Juan Diego y las imágenes de apóstoles y profetas. Las cuatro torres, la cúpula y el arco poligonal sobre la puerta principal, se colocaron para así poder relacionar este templo, de manera simbólica, con el Templo de Salomón en la ciudad de Jerusalén que seguía estas mismas formas según la escritura. Con ello se pretendía mostrar que la Nueva España era, también, un territorio sacralizado, escogido por la Madre del Señor.
En 1749 el templo recibió la categoría de Colegiata, lo que significa que para dirigirlo y atender a los fieles habría un cabildo o grupo de sacerdotes que trabajarían bajo el mando de un Abad.

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.

Another from my trip to St. Michael's, Maryland. This was the pier at the house that we stayed at for the trip. The view we had was one of the reasons I fell in love with the area. The weather was perfect for our trip, not too humid. I just relaxed on the pier for hours enjoying the view.

El otro día llevaba la cámara en el trabajo y al acercarme al coche para volver a casa, escuché el sonido de una radial en la nave de nuestros vecinos que se dedican al aluminio, el acero y la cerrajería..no me lo pensé y entré, efectivamente estaban cortando hierro, quien cortaba era Dani, que como comprobaréis tiene un brazo 78 veces mas potente que el mío -sin exagerar..jeje- le hice estas cuatro fotos mientras trabajaba..
me encanta el efecto de las chispas y las esquirlas rebotando y estallando al toparse con alguna superficie....volando al rojo vivo...
Feliz Fin de Semana a Todos..Bzosss!!!

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.

Inspired from this shot. Its been a while since I have been to my hometown, me and my relatives we always make it a point to be in our hometown for Pongal(The festival of Harvest). Read more about Pongal. My Grandfather is a farmer and so Pongal is so special to us and we all make it a point to be in our village Thirukkurungudi. Most of my relatives, the count will come around 80, as some won't be able to make it this time will be assembling there, we don't do anything special, just sit around talk about the whole year that had gone past, we cook for everyone, there is a huge open space in front of the our home called Mutram, with a huge neem tree, which is as old as my grandfather, we just sit under that, eat, sleep together. Those are the moments which taught us how happy life can be. We wake up walk to our fields, take bath in our well, sit on our fields and enjoy the air. Every year once this festival is over, I see almost all my relatives in tears, I am not talking about kids, starting from my Grandfather and Mother everyone is in tears and they say to each other, just one more year and the next Pongal will be here. So every day, every second we start expecting the next Pongal. We have booked almost half a compartment in the train. Will meet you all after those wonderful days, enjoy your Pongal too.அனைவருக்கும் உளம்கனிந்த தமிழர் திருநாள் நல்வாழ்த்துக்கள். Thanks for all your visits, favs and comments
அந்த ரயில் இங்கிருந்து கிளம்பையிலே கலைந்துவிடும் எங்களுக்கு தூக்கம்,

இரவு வந்ததும் கோலமிட்ட படியே பேசிக்கொண்டிருப்பார்கள் என் அம்மா, சித்தி, பெரியம்மா, அத்தை, பாட்டி அனைவரும்,
தூக்கம் கண்களைச் சுழற்றுகையில் ஒரு கிழிந்த பாயை அந்த வேப்ப மரத்திற்கு கீழே போட்டு தொடரும் பேச்சு,
ஒரு நொடி கூட தொலைத்துவிடாமல் பேசிக்கொண்டே இருப்பார்கள்,
ஒரு வருடத்தின் மொத்தப் பேச்சையும் பேசிக் கழித்துவிட வேண்டும் என்ற வெறியோடு,
பள்ளிக்காலம் தொடங்கி நேற்று ரயிலில் சண்டையிட்டது வரை,
ஒரு புள்ளி மாறாமல் பறிமாறிக்கொள்வார்கள் பேச்சிலே,
சில சமயம் அவர்கள் பள்ளியில் நடித்த நாடகங்கள் கூட அரங்கேறும் பாட்டுக் கச்சேறியுடன்,
ஒயாமல் பேசியபடியே எப்போது தூங்குவார்களோ தெரியாது,
ஆனால் காலையில் நான் கண் விழிக்கையில் தொடர்ந்து கொண்டிருக்கும் பேச்சு,
ஊர் கிளம்பும் நாள் வரையில் எங்கள் உலகத்தின் மகிழ்ச்சியை, யாருக்கும் விட்டுக் கொடுக்காமல் கொண்டாடி மகிழ்வோம்,
ஊர் கிளம்பும் நொடியில் அமைதியாய் வந்து எங்கள் வீட்டையே ஆக்கிரமித்திருக்கும் ஒரு அமைதி,
வெறும் கண்ணீர்த் துளிகள் மட்டுமே பேசிக்கொண்டிருக்கும்,
அப்போதும் ஊமையாய் எங்களைப் பார்த்துக் கொண்டிருக்கும் எங்கள் வீட்டு வேப்ப மரம்,
எங்கள் அடுத்த வருட வரவை எதிர் நோக்கி

Milagre vegetal - assim é apelidada nas Antilhas, seu lugar de origem. Razão há para isso. Cada cem miligramas de polpa de acerola passa ao organismo humano até cinco mil miligramas de vitamina C. Mais do que cem laranjas. Uma criança de um ano terá satisfeitas as suas necessidades diárias de sustento com apenas uma acerola.
Aqui entra o fascinante, com sabor de mistério e de aventura. Armada daquele poder, raro entre frutos, a acerola foi declarada segredo de Estado. Proibida a sua saída de países onde cultivada e industrializada. Proibição gera tentação. Uma brasileira escondeu na bolsa 245 sementes e abalou-se com elas, que ressurgiram em viveiros da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco. Foi isso em 1955.
E a Malpighia punicifolia espalhou-se pelo Nordeste brasileiro. Três e até quatro vezes ao ano, curva-se ao peso de centenas, um milhar, de frutas miúdas quais pitangas, vermelhas e redondas quais cerejas. A planta cabe na sacada de um apartamento moderno, a fruta pode lotar toda uma dispensa com sucos, doces, geléias, pastas e licores. E ainda ter presença na botica doméstica atuando em casos de gripe, afecções pulmonares, doenças do fígado, nasais, gengivais...
O consumo em expansão dessa fruta deve-se, basicamente, a seu elevado teor de ácido ascórbico (Vitamina C) que, em algumas variedades, alcança até 5.000 miligramas por 100 gramas de polpa. Este índice chega a ser cem vezes superior ao da laranja ou dez vezes ao da goiaba, frutas com alto conteúdo dessa vitamina.
