Iridonia, the gateway to the Outer Rim.
The red sphere was a dry, harsh world, the home to the hardy Zabrak. The Zabrak had a centuries-long tradition of hyperspace trade, rivalries with the Duros, and a shareholder’s slice of the pie when it came to making decisions about hyperspace tariffs. Their homeworld’s placement provided leverage, leverage that the current regime was glad to exploit.
The House of Kesh had ruled Iridonia for decades. Lord Kesh had proven himself a violent, unstable, vain tyrant who murdered outsiders and made his own people slaves. The rest of the galaxy might have ignored this, but Kesh also made a habit of choking the Coruscant-Dantooine hyperlanes. Hitting people’s bottom lines was a good way to draw their attention.
For over a month, a growing team of CFS diplomats had been hunkered down on Iridonia to try to negotiate a deal with its government, working to arrive at some sort of agreement, both among themselves and the Iridonian leadership. Everyone in the room had different priorities: some represented the CFS Merchant Core and just wanted to relax tariffs, others had the plight of the people in mind. Some wanted to take Kesh before a trial, deal with things peacefully. Others at the table would rather see him dead.
A sandstorm of intrigue surrounded the diplomats since the moment they arrived. Spies hung on every corner and doorway: CFS spies and Iridonian spies, and spies working for individual diplomats, advancing causes unbeknownst to their colleagues. While the gears of diplomacy grinded on, some had initiated more direct action.
Forgun Bohani had been the third diplomat to arrive in the Iridonian court. He was a clever old man, always watching and listening, who found himself on the side of a peaceful transition of power. He had listened to the bickering in the court long enough to decide a fresh voice was needed. He knew exactly who to summon: a young diplomat who had negotiated terms at Kril’Dor after the Pyerce insurrection, a rising star named Lan Honn. Honn seemed intelligent, studious, and honorable, precisely what was needed here. Bohani sent a message asking for Honn’s help, offering himself as a sponsor.
When the message arrived, Lan Honn was struck speechless. Once he had composed himself, calmed his excited nerves, and closed his gaping jaw, he jumped at the opportunity with appropriate seriousness. He became a tireless student of the Iridonian situation as he traveled, pouring over not only the current stakes of the negotiation, but Iridonian culture, art, and history. Anything that might help him understand their point of view. He stared out the viewport of his transport at the grim, dust-red planet’s surface.
Though he would soon join the CFS entourage, he chose to mask his arrival by docking at a swoop slum far from the city center. He traveled in plainclothes accompanied only by his bodyguard, the dangerous Esno Bo’Barbi.
The landing pad was deserted. The only people in sight were offworlders who looked more than worse-for-wear. As Honn and Bo’Barbi walked down the gangplank, a fat, bearded Lannik approached.
Honn turned to his companion. “Here comes Dak Sirah, a rogue if ever there was one, true and merry-faced though he be.”
“Aye,” replied the gruff Bo’Barbi. “Untiring after his own interest. Though if his and ours overlap, he becomes a useful fellow.”
Honn smiled at Sirah. “Dak! It’s good to see you. Live you on borrowed credits, or your own?”
“Lan Honn!” cried the bearded man. “Prince among men! Don’t you look…discrete. For once, I’m the handsomer of us two! For a diplomat, you make a lousy first impression, y’know. Don’t jest about my finances, I try to do my best.”
Honn grinned. “You’ve never once succeeded, though you’re not without other merit.”
Sirah peered at him. “Honest for a diplomat, too. Let’s put aside the squabbling, eh? I’m here on Bohani’s behalf, he got your message and sent me to lead you to the courts. I’d say welcome, but there’s nothing welcoming about Iridonia at present. What do you know about the situation, Honn?”
“I’ve read up on my way.”
“Ah! Of course you have. I should’ve known.”
“But pretend I haven’t. I want to hear it from your perspective.”
Dak sighed. “It’s a port of wolves, Honn. The Iridonians waste no pity or kindness on their own people, much less the Duros or offworlders. Both sides watch each other, constant with their spies. Yours truly, in fact, does some work on the side for Lord Bohani! Though, come to think of it, I wasn’t meant to let on to that.”
“I would think Bohani would bring on tighter-lipped spies. Though he’d be hard-pressed to find one more likable.”
“Ahhh, that’s my trick, there. No one suspects a guy like me to do anything more subtle than a public one-man-show! Keeps ‘em off the scent. It’s a good thing you’re here, Honn. It’s all been infighting and circling so far. Every day new proposals, new amendments, but nothin’ seems to stick. They’ve needed some fresh ideas, I think you’re just the one for it.”
“Thank you, Dak. I mean to be of service.”
Sirah scoffed. “You seem nervous. You kidding me? You’ll do great, you’re a bright guy. A lot brighter than some of the statues they’ve got at the table right now. Scaft, I nearly forgot to greet your bodyguard. Mister Bo’Barbi, the most dangerous man in the galaxy, enemy to nere’do’wells! A title I hope I don’t merit.”
Bo’Barbi raised an eyebrow. “An enemy to flatterers, too, mister Sirah.”
“Ah . . . Point taken. Lovely to make your acquaintance, sir! Ol’ Dak means no harm, no harm at all.” Sirah crinkled his jolly face. “Not unless you’re a bottle of Mantelli Scotch, anyway.”

Take a stroll along the winding paths around Sleeping Beauty Castle and you might stumble upon Snow White Grotto. The centerpiece of this attraction is a wishing well where Snow White's voice can be heard singing similarly to the wishing well scene in the original full length animated feature. But look across the water up into the "forest" and you'll spot these marble statues of Snow White and the seven dwarfs - along with a few of Snow White's forest friends. The marble statuettes were sent to Disneyland anonymously from Italy in 1961. The statues were modeled after soaps and Snow White was only slightly taller than the dwarfs, which is why forced perspective is used in the scene. Snow White is placed by herself at the top above all the dwarfs.

Yesterday afternoon, we finally managed to get to this newly opened, world class 220 acre garden less than 30 miles from where we live. I only had about an hour before the 5PM closing time, but still managed a few shots to give an idea what this place has to offer. More tomorrow along with information. We got a season pass, so I'm sure we'll be back many times this year.

We spent Canada Day at Martinique Beach supposedly looking for Sandpipers and other sea birds. Not me seen these beauties growing in a wet marshy area so spent an hour crawling around getting some shots of them. I am unsure if they are wild Iris or som type of wild Orchid but they are definitely growing wild.
ligt aan de buitenrand van het dorpje Leuvenheim. Het landgoed dateert al uit de 15e eeuw. Het landgoed viel tot de zestiende eeuw onder de Geldersche Toren in Spankeren. In de eerste helft van de zeventiende eeuw woonde er Gerhard Casyn van der Hell tot de Wildbaan, een zeer belangrijk figuur in die tijd, onder andere burgemeester van Arnhem. Van 1678 tot 1795 was de Wildbaan een leen van de Staten van Gelderland. Na 1814 was het respectievelijk in bezit van de families baron Van Rhemen van Rhemenshuizen, baron Schimmelpenninck van der Oye en (sinds 1845) van mr. H.A.C. Metelerkamp.
Diens opvolger, neef A.J.P. Metelerkamp, bekend paardenfokker in die dagen en kolonel bij de Cavalerie, liet de oude Wildbaan afbreken (zie fotoblok hieronder) en in 1910 herrijzen in de huidige vorm.
Het huis is gebouwd in de zogenaamde Amsterdamse stijl (trapgevel-grachtenhuis), op wens van mevrouw Metelerkamp, geboren Den Tex, dochter van de burgemeester van Amsterdam.
In de tijd dat de families Metelerkamp het huis bezaten had het de reputatie dat het er zou spoken. 's Avonds laat zouden in de keuken verschillende deuren van kasten plotseling vanzelf opengaan!
Na de oorlog werd de Wildbaan (1952) het bezit van een r.k.orde van missionarissen, die er in 1961 een kapel liet aanbouwen.
In 1970 is het gebouw in gebruik genomen door de Stichting Philadelphia als tehuis voor geestelijke gehandicapten.
Momenteel is er een bedrijf in gevestigd. Het landgoed is toegankelijk, huis en directe omgeving zijn niet toegankelijk voor het publiek.

Sin querer la vida y yo llegamos bien
hasta aquí, hasta hoy
No pedí nacer pero bueno, aquí voy,
como vos, como todos
Amores que vienen y que van
Abrazo, llanto y despedidas
Sublime el sueño que me dejó
en el lugar justo donde estoy
Sin querer me tocó ser lo que soy ♪♫
día y mes, también años
No pedí que hubiera esa noche de amor
que se fue hace tiempo
Caminos que nunca se tocan
y otros se cruzan al azar
Sublime el sueño que me dejó
en el lugar justo donde estoy

Isola Bella took the name of Carlo III’s wife, the bella Isabella, in the 17th century, when its centrepiece, Palazzo Borromeo was built for the Borromeo family. Mussolini tried to stave off WWII here at the Conference of Stresa in April 1935; other well-known guests have included Napoleon and Josephine in 1797 (you can see the bed they slept in), and Prince Charles and Princess Di in 1985. The Borromeo family still use it as their summer residence, occupying the 2nd floor during August and September.

El candidato a diputado nacional, Aníbal Ibarra, denunció que las empresas Roggio y Dycasa “recibieron 75 millones de pesos” del Gobierno de Mauricio Macri “para que no hagan nada con los subtes”. Ibarra aseguró a adnciudad.com que “tardaron 10 días en firmar ese contrato y entregar 75 millones por nada”.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
El candidato a diputado nacional Aníbal Ibarra denunció este miércoles al mediodía que el Gobierno de Mauricio Macri “entregó 75 millones de pesos a dos empresas para que no hagan nada en los subtes”. El destituido Jefe de Gobierno sostuvo que “no es que no hay plata en la Ciudad” sino que está mal administrada.
“Macri tiene 5 mil millones de dólares, cuenta con los recursos que nunca ningún Jefe de Gobierno tuvo, y encima dice que no tiene plata, entregó 75 millones de pesos a dos empresas para que no hagan nada en los subtes”, dijo Ibarra en la conferencia de prensa.
“Además, tardaron sólo 10 días en firmar ese contrato y entregar 75 millones contra nada”, explicó y agregó: “Las empresas que recibieron la plata para los subtes son Roggio y Dycasa”.
“En lo que es manejo de recursos, endeudando la Ciudad, gobernando con déficit, hay un manejo que se va a notar en los próximos años. El año pasado sacaron 120 millones de obras en escuelas y lo mandaron a baldosas. Deberían estar haciendo mucho más con los recursos que tienen”, concluyó.
En diálogo con adnciudad.com, Ibarra dio más detalles de la denuncia: “En noviembre pasado, el Gobierno de la Ciudad le otorgó 34.600.000 pesos a la empresa Dycasa y 39.600.000 pesos a Roggio, como adelanto de las obras por un total de 500 millones de pesos que debían realizarse en la extensión de la línea A (Dycasa) y de la línea B de subtes (Roggio)”.
A lo que añadió: “La idea era hacer las cocheras para los vagones de ambas líneas, pero acto seguido el macrismo transfirió los 300 millones de pesos destinados a tal fin a otra repartición, desfinanciando las obras”.
Frente a lo cual Ibarra expresó: “Actualmente no hay ningún adelanto en las obras previstas en las líneas de subtes, ni tampoco hay un reclamo de devolución de los adelantos, dado que ahora no hay recursos para concluir los trabajos”.
En imagen: En Floresta, sobre Avenida Rivadavia, el tránsito sortea las obras complementarias correspondientes al emplazamiento de la futura Cochera Taller posterior a Nazca. Las mismas, siguen paralizadas por desfinanciamiento y mala administración del Gobierno de Macri.

For foreign people that don't know this place, La Défense is a major business district for the city of Paris. It is centered in an oval freeway loop straddling the towns of Nanterre, Courbevoie and Puteaux.
The district is at the westernmost extremity of Paris' 10 km long Historical Axis, which starts at the Louvre in Central Paris and continues along the Champs-Élysées, well beyond the Arc de Triomphe before culminating at La Défense.
Around its 110-metre (360 ft)-high Grande Arche and esplanade ("le Parvis"), the district holds many of the Paris urban area's tallest high-rises. With its 77.5 acres (314,000 m2), its 72 glass-and-steel slick buildings including 14 high-rises above 150 metres (490 ft), its 150,000 daily workers and 3.5 million square metres (37.7 million sq ft) of office space, La Défense is Europe's largest business district.
Allí estaba en la esquina de una mesa del restaurante de Antequera..
así lo vi...
así quise plasmar el recuerdo de su fría y corta vida...
sin haber conocido líquido que refrescar....
sin haber sido utilizado y derretido como juguete erótico.. festivo...
que lástima tan chico..
tan claro y transparente...
¿será la lluvia que cáe en la calle parte de su espiritu reencarnado..?..
Hasta siempre....cubito..
PD.
La cabeza ida, lo siento, son las amenazas de venganza de Pakito Ruiz que hacen que me encuentre regular..
sin sentirme las piernas....
Todo comenzó por la flecha roja en el agua
There it was in the corner of a table of the restaurant of Antequera...
thus I saw…
thus I wanted to shape the memory of its cold one and cuts life…
without to have known that liquid to refresh….
without to be used and to be melted like erotic toy...
that so small pity...
so clearly and it is transparent…
it will be the rain that falls in the street leaves from its reincarnated spirit?...
Until always....cube.
PS.
The head going, I feel, it, are the threats of revenge of Pakito Ruiz who cause that she finds me to regulate....
without feeling the legs to me….
Everything began by shoots with an arrow red in the water

This weekend it is Carnival "Fiesta Carnaval" in my town Almunecar. The rain was poring down yesterday so no new shots. This one is from last year to give you an idea how the children dress out.
I think they have the Pirate idea from Hollywood Productions. They would never dress like this if they had got proper information about the serious Piracy problems in the world.
Here is how the real thing works!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Piracy off the Somali coast has been a threat to international shipping since the beginning of the Somali Civil War in the early 21 century.[1] Since 2005, many international organizations, including the International Maritime Organization and the World Food Programme, have expressed concern over the rise in acts of piracy.[2] Piracy has contributed to an increase in shipping costs and impeded the delivery of food aid shipments. Ninety percent of the World Food Programme's shipments arrive by sea, and ships have required a military escort.[3] According to the Kenyan foreign minister, Somali Falla have received over US$150 million in ransom during the 12 months prior to November 2008.[4]
Clashes have been reported between Somalia's Islamist fighters (who are opposed to the Transitional Federal Government (TFG)) and the pirates.[5] In August 2008, Combined Task Force 150, a multinational coalition task force, took on the role of fighting Somali piracy by establishing a Maritime Security Patrol Area (MSPA) within the Gulf of Aden.[6] The increasing threat posed by piracy also caused significant concerns in India since most of its shipping trade routes pass through the Gulf of Aden. The Indian Navy responded to these concerns by deploying a warship in the region on October 23, 2008.[7][8] In September 2008, Russia announced that it too will soon join international efforts to combat piracy.[9]
On October 5, 2008, the United Nations Security Council adopted resolution 1838[10] calling on nations with vessels in the area to apply military force to repress the acts of piracy.[11] At the 101st council of the International Maritime Organization, India called for a United Nations peacekeeping force under unified command to tackle piracy off Somalia.[12] (There has been a general and complete arms embargo against Somalia since 1992.)
In November 2008, Somali pirates began hijacking ships well outside the Gulf of Aden, perhaps targeting ships headed for the port of Mombasa, Kenya.[13] The frequency and sophistication of the attacks also increased around this time, as did the size of vessels being targeted. Large cargo ships, oil and chemical tankers on international voyages became the new targets of choice for the Somali hijackers. This is in stark contrast to the pirate attacks which were once frequent in the Straits of Malacca, another strategically important waterway for international trade, which were according to maritime security expert Catherine Zara Raymond, generally directed against “smaller , more vulnerable vessels carrying trade across the Straits or employed in the coastal trade on either side of the Straits.”[14]
There are discussions under way to begin an aggressive covert operation against the pirates. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has been publicly warning of this potential threat for months. In a Harpers Magazine article, a CIA official stated, "We need to deal with this problem from the beach side, in concert with the ocean side, but we don't have an embassy in Somalia and limited, ineffective intelligence operations. We need to work in Somalia and in Lebanon, where a lot of the ransom money has changed hands. But our operations in Lebanon are a joke, and we have no presence at all in Somalia."[15]
I think they have the Pirate idea from Hollywood Productions. They would never dress like this if they had got proper information about the serious Pirate problems in the world.

I Ching and the genetic code -
or how to heal the consciousness of the cell.
[ ... ] It wants to expand it discovered many similarities, which I represent in brief and yet some others.
1. Each genetic codon consists of 3 amino acid pairs.
A hexagram in the I Ching consists of 3 line pairs
The chaos research discovered that there is an order in the chaos. Life
developed after the so-called Period 3
2. A DNA molecule is inter alia of 4 nitrogen bases, the basic building blocks
the entire genetic code form. These are adenine, thymine, guanine
and cytosine.
The I Ching consists of the two polarities of Yin and Yang will be permanently
Change are understood and the changing yin and which
wandelndem yang.
In oriental medicine (acupuncture, acupressure) are the four elements
Metal (yang), earth (yin), fire (the changing yang) and water (the
changing yin), together with the wood element, the basis for the
Energy medicine and all other energetic healing methods.
3. Of the four nitrogen bases form the genetic code 2, a
fixed pair that is connected to 2 different ways.
It connects to adenine with thymine and cytosine with guanine.
Three pairs of genetic information result in a unit, whether or codon
Triplet called. These 3 couples can register for a total of 64 different
Codons or triplets (= units of information) interconnect. This
creates the diversity of human life, but also in animal and
plant life. The diversity of creation is based on these
Nitrogen bases.
When I Ching, there are the broken and the solid line on 4
are different ways to form a solid pair of linked
Three of these pairs form a hexagram. This results in the 64
Hexagrams of the I Ching, each with a wisdom and guidance for the
Life of the enlightened people in different situations.
Include Fire, water, earth, metal: Each of these basic elements is equivalent to 2
Channel pairs, a yin and a yang meridian. The Yin meridians show how
that energy applied to the people, the Yang meridians, as he
responds to the outside.
4. The genetic code is a double helix that we are in a
winding rope ladder can compare. The strands are from a 5
C sugar and phosphates, the rungs of this ladder of the nitrogen bases
the codons formed. This double helix is self-contained, has
is no definable beginning and no definable end. The beginning
and the end of a sequence of information is called off and
Stop codons appear.
The I Ching is also known as the Book of Changes. It describes
processes in human life, it as cyclical, always
recurring cycles recognizes that with the right attitude
and approach is not helpless. Again, there are
Hexagrams, the right of the beginning or the end or change
information of enterprises.
Among the four basic elements are used in Eastern medicine more than 5
Element of the wood element, which stands for vitality, and the
Protection system that allows the 5 elements, their shape and structure
and keep to keep them under different conditions of life, added. Man
they could thus also with the strands of the conductor and the basic elements
compare their shoots. Here too, the working of the life energy meridians
as cyclical, often embedded in a circuit. Those
the treatment and healing with the energy meridians or
Energy points aligned.
Of the hexagrams of the I Ching can be direct connections to the
Elements in Eastern medicine and acupuncture meridians to certain
(= Channel in which life energy flows) produce. [...]

I Ging und genetischer Code –
oder wie man das Bewußtsein der Zelle heilen kann.
[…] Dabei entdeckte sie viele verschiedene Gemeinsamkeiten, die ich im Folgenden kurz darstellen und noch um einige andere erweitern möchte.
1. Jedes genetische Codon besteht aus 3 Aminosäure-Paaren.
Ein Hexagramm im I Ging besteht aus 3 Strichpaaren
Die Chaosforschung entdeckte, daß es im Chaos eine Ordnung gibt. Leben
entwickelt sich nach der so genannten Periode 3
2. Ein DNA-Molekül besteht u.a. aus 4 Stickstoffbasen, die die Grundbausteine
des gesamten genetischen Codes bilden. Dies sind Adenin, Thymin, Guanin
und Cytosin.
Das I Ging besteht aus den beiden Polaritäten Yin, und Yang die in ständigem
Wandel begriffen sind und dem sich wandelnden yin und dem sich
wandelndem yang.
In der östlichen Medizin (Akupunktur, Akupressur) bilden die 4 Elemente
Metall (yang), Erde (yin), Feuer (das sich wandelnde yang) und Wasser (das
sich wandelnde yin) zusammen mit dem Holz-Element die Basis für die
Energiemedizin und alle anderen energetischen Heilweisen.
3. Von den vier Stickstoffbasen des genetischen Codes bilden 2 jeweils ein
feststehendes Paar, das auf 2 verschiedene Weisen verbunden ist.
Es verbindet sich Adenin mit Thymin und Guanin mit Cytosin.
Drei Paare ergeben eine genetische Informationseinheit, auch Codon oder
Triplet genannt. Diese 3 Paare können sich zu insgesamt 64 verschiedenen
Codons oder Triplets (= Informationseinheiten) miteinander verbinden. Daraus
entsteht die Vielfalt des menschlichen Lebens, aber auch des tierischen und
pflanzlichen Lebens. Die Vielfalt der Schöpfung basiert auf diesen
Stickstoffbasen.
Beim I Ging gibt es die unterbrochene und die durchgezogene Linie, die auf 4
verschiedene Weisen zu einem festen Paar verknüpft werden
Drei dieser Paare ergeben ein Hexagramm. Dadurch entstehen die 64
Hexagramme des I Ging, die jeweils eine Weisheit und eine Anleitung für die
Lebensweise des erleuchteten Menschen in unterschiedlichen Lebenslagen
beinhalten.
Feuer; Wasser; Erde; Metall: Jedem dieser Grundelemente entsprechen 2
Meridianpaare, ein yin und ein yang Meridian. Die Yin Meridiane zeigen, wie
die jeweilige Energie auf den Menschen einwirkt, die Yang Meridiane, wie er
darauf nach außen reagiert.
4. Der genetische Code bildet eine Doppelhelix, die wir mit einer in sich
gewundenen Strickleiter vergleichen können. Die Stränge werden von einem 5
C Zucker und Phosphaten, die Sprossen dieser Leiter von den Stickstoffbasen
der Codons gebildet. Diese Doppelhelix ist jedoch in sich geschlossen, besitzt
also keinen definierbaren Anfang und kein definierbares Ende. Der Anfang
und das Ende einer Informationssequenz wird durch so genannte Start und
Stop Codons angezeigt.
Das I Ging wird auch als das Buch der Wandlungen bezeichnet. Es beschreibt
die Abläufe im menschlichen Leben, die es als zyklische, immer
wiederkehrende Kreisläufe erkennt, denen man mit der rechten Einstellung
und Herangehensweise nicht hilflos ausgeliefert ist. Auch hier gibt es
Hexagramme, die über den rechten Beginn oder den Abschluss bzw. Wandel
von Unternehmungen informieren.
Zu den 4 Grundelementen kommen in der östlichen Medizin noch als 5.
Element das Holz-Element, das für Lebendigkeit steht, sowie das
Schutzsystem, das den 5 Elementen ermöglicht ihre Form und Struktur zu
bewahren und unter verschiedenen Lebensbedingungen zu halten, hinzu. Man
könnte sie also auch mit den Strängen der Leiter und die Grundelemente mit
ihren Sprossen vergleichen. Auch hier wird das Wirken der Lebensenergiemeridiane
als zyklisch, in einem Kreislauf eingebettet angesehen. Danach ist
auch die Behandlung und Heilung mit den Energiemeridianen oder
Energiepunkten ausgerichtet.
Von den Hexagrammen des I Ging kann man direkte Verbindungen zu den
Elementen in der östlichen Medizin und damit zu bestimmten Akupunkturmeridianen
(= Bahnen in denen unsere Lebensenergie fließt) herstellen. […]

My gawd, this picture came out beautifully on the first try. I spent like a total of 10 minutes executing my idea for this picture, which is record time.
Well, the first try with the scarf that is. I tried it first with no scarf, and I was like: No, it needs to be more middle eastern, and i saw this scarf belt i had peeking from underneath my closet door and I was like: PERFECT! I grabbed it and started to wrap it around my head and i was like: this is awesome. :]
I really wanted it to look like I had a story behind my eyes and I sort of imagined something sad to do so. I hope you all see what I see. ._. Ahaha.
My lashes look so long and there's not even mascara there! O_o
I'm in love with middle eastern/muslim women though, they are just gorgeous to me, which is what inspired the photo in the first place. :) [My grandfather was a muslim/indian as well. :-> ]

My sunday was filled with sleep so now i have to race against the clock to finish my art projects! I paused for my 365, geez, i'm dedicated! Hahaha. At least I made up with my hubs and we are good again. I need to work on being more patient!! O_O Anyhow, back to art projects!

Pediastrum biradiatum, es como todas sus hermanas un alga estrella, estrella que en ésta aparece redoblada, joya multiplicada en sí misma. Pediastrum flota como una estrella frente a la estrella del Sol, cara a cara, reflejándose en quien le da la vida con su luz.
En arte de magia, quizá de magia celta del lugar de donde procede, Pediastrum biradiatum va creando en simetría estas joyas de equilibrio. Armonía de una unión que les permite volar sosteniendo su cuerpo de doble sol en las aguas de las lagunas. Ocho, dos o treinta y dos células, individuos, son los números cabalísticos de esta magia de equilibrio que como un rosetón gótico se abre en el muro fluyente del agua.
En Pediastrum biradiatum los individuos centrales aparecen profundamente recortados, dejando amplias lagunas entre ellos, y los dos lóbulos de cada célula del margen están divididos por una hendidura poco profunda. Nadie dijo que se colocaran así, lo hicieron ellos, lo hizo su magia celta, esa misma magia que les hace volar.

Aun quedan algunas fotos que no quería subir pero terminaron por convencerme. Habían tantos papeles tirados y sucios en el piso de la disco que busqué una buena toma para retratar el olvido en que se encuentran. Me llama la atención que un lugar donde solíamos bailar y pasarla bien se reduce a unas ruinas que irradian desolación. Un triste paisaje.
Quiero agradecer en esta foto por las ya más de 2000 visitas. Muchas gracias a todos los que pasan por aquí y disfrutan de mi trabajo. Vamos por las 5000!

There’re still some photos that I didn’t want to upload but ended up convincing me. There were so many lying-dirty papers on floor of the discotheque that I looked up for a nice shot to show the oblivion they were in. It strikes me that a place were we used to dance and have fun is reduced to some ruins that emanate desolation. A really sad view.
I want to say thank on this image for the more than 2000 visits. Thanks you all guys that come over here and enjoy my work. Go for the 5000!
Hay personas que con su simple existencia te alegran la vida, que en dos meses iluminan un poco más tu camino y te invitar a llegar allá. ♫

ENGLISH
La Alpujarra (sometimes Las Alpujarras) is a mountainous district in Southern Spain, which stretches south from the Sierra Nevada mountains near Granada in the autonomous region of Andalusia. The western part of the region lies in the province of Granada and the eastern part in the province of Almería. In older sources the name is sometimes spelled Alpuxarras; it may derive from Arabic al Busherat meaning "the grass-land".
The region consists principally of valleys which descend at right angles from the crest of the Sierra Nevada on the north, to the Sierras Almijara, Contraviesa and Gádor, which separate it from the Mediterranean Sea, to the south.
The region is one of great natural beauty. Because of a warm southerly climate combined with a reliable supply of water for irrigation from the rivers running off the Sierra Nevada, the valleys of the western Alpujarras are among the most fertile in Spain, though the steep nature of the terrain means that they can only be cultivated in small fields, so that many modern agricultural techniques are impractical. They contain a rich abundance of fruit trees, especially grape vines, oranges, lemons, persimmons, figs and almonds. The eastern Alpujarra, in the province of Almería, is more arid, but still highly attractive.
La Alpujarra was successively settled by Ibero-Celtic peoples, by the Romans, and by Visigoths before the Moorish conquest of southern Spain in the eighth century. The region was the last refuge of the Moors, who were allowed to remain there for nearly 150 years after the fall of Granada in 1492. Following the Morisco Revolt of 1568, the Moorish population was forced from the region after the Moriscos used it as a military base. By order of the Spanish crown, two Moorish families were required to remain in each village in order to demonstrate to the new inhabitants, introduced from northern Spain, the workings of the terracing and irrigation systems on which the district's agriculture depends.
The influence of the Moorish population can be seen in the agriculture, the distinct cubic architecture (reminiscent of Berber architecture in Morocco's Atlas Mountains) the local cuisine, the local carpet weaving, and the numerous Arabic placenames.

CASTELLANO
La Alpujarra (o Las Alpujarras) es una comarca de Andalucía, en el sur de España. Incluye parte de la provincia de Granada y parte de la provincia de Almería, en las faldas de la ladera sur de Sierra Nevada.
En textos antiguos a veces la región es denominada alpujarras, nombre que deriva del término árabe al Busherat (al-bugscharra), que podría traducirse como "la Tierra de hierba" o "la Tierra de pastos". Pedro Antonio de Alarcón, que viajó por la comarca y escribió un libro, publicado en 1874, da, además de esta versión del nombre, cuatro más. Citando a Luis de Mármol, Alarcón dice que la palabra viene de la voz árabe "abuxarra" que, siempre según Alarcón, quiere decir "la rencillosa, la pendenciera". El mismo Alarcón da una segunda hipótesis del origen del nombre, que toma del arabista Miguel Lafuente Alcántara, quien añade que la palabra árabe "abuxarra" también significa "indomable". Una tercera opinión del origen del nombre procede de los arabistas ingleses Romey y Sacy quienes, basándose en los testimonios del historiador árabe Suar el-Kaicí, consideran que la palabra Alpujarra viene de la voz arábiga "Albordjela" que significa "la fortificada". Finalmente, Alarcón menciona la opinión del historiador francés Simonet que sugiere que puede proceder del nombre "Albuxarrat" que Simonet traduce por "La Sierra Blanca" o Sierra Nevada.
La región consiste principalmente en una serie de valles que descienden en ángulo recto desde las cumbres de Sierra Nevada en el Norte, a la Sierra de la Contraviesa y Sierra de Gádor, las cuales la separan del Mar Mediterráneo, al sur.
La región es de una enorme belleza natural. A causa de su clima suave combinado con una fuente fiable de agua para la irrigación de los ríos que descienden de Sierra Nevada, los valles de la Alpujarra disfrutan de un importante grado de fertilidad, si bien a causa de la naturaleza del terreno sólo pueden ser cultivados en pequeñas parcelas, por lo cual la técnicas modernas de agricultura no suelen ser viables. Abundan los árboles frutales, como naranjos, limoneros, caquis, manzanos, higueras, castaños, almendros, y los viñedos. La zona este de la Alpujarra, la almeriense, es más árida.
La Alpujarra fue sucesivamente colonizada por íberos y celtas, por la antigua Roma, y por visigodos, antes de la conquista musulmana del sur de España durante el siglo VIII; no obstante, el historiador árabe Ibn Ragid declara que la región no fue conquistada por los árabes debido a la aspereza de su territorio. Su colonización, por tanto, hubo de ser posterior y realizarse modo muy paulatino. La región fue el último refugio de los moriscos, a quienes se les permitió permanecer allí hasta mucho después de la caída del Reino Nazarí de Granada en 1492. Tras la revuelta morisca de 1568, (donde Aben Humeya, de nombre cristiano Fernando de Córdoba y Válor, se proclamó Rey de la Alpujarra) la población morisca fue expulsada de la región tras que ésta fuese usada como su base militar. Por orden de la corona española, se requirió que dos familias moriscas permaneciesen en cada villa para ayudar a los nuevos habitantes , introducidos desde el norte de España (fundamentalmente asturianos, gallegos y leoneses), la forma de trabajar las terrazas y los sistemas de irrigación de los que depende la agricultura de la región.
La influencia de la población morisca se puede observar, lógicamente, en la agricultura, la arquitectura cúbica (reminiscencias de la arquitectura bereber de las montañas marroquíes del Atlas), la cocina local, el tejido de alfombras y numerosos nombres de lugar de origen árabe.

Since becoming obsessed with bugs, it has been my ambition to photograph a dragon fly. Problem is, I don't see them very often, and when I do, they dart here and there and seem to never stop moving. On Saturday I was wandering around the garden and spotted a damselfly. Didn't manage to capture it, but it made me think of dragon flies again and I thought, Oh, I wish I could see one . Well, you would not believe it, I looked up at the apple tree and there was a dragon fly!!! It was a little high up and the hot Summer sun was beating down, making my eyes water, but I managed to take some ok shots from all directions and was feeling pretty pleased with myself! Later in the day I wandered over to the neighbour's vacant property and low and behold... I spotted another dragon fly! He was on the move but I saw him land on a twig so crept up and then he stayed there... and stayed there... and I took lots of pics!! TWO IN ONE DAY! What are the chances? So this is the second one and I think the shots are better, because the light was better and I was able to get closer.
I'm still not satisfied though... now I need to take a better shot with a less cluttered background!! :-)

PREMESSA: Non ho riletto neanche una volta cosa ho scritto, quindi potrebbe trattarsi di un'immane porcata piena di errori VV;;
www.bjditalia.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=2029
Età: 17 anni
Compleanno: 14 Febbraio
Orientamento sessuale: Omosessuale. (Si innamora del cugino)
Frase preferita: Frasi sconnesse durante il sonno.
Ama: La libertà, il violino, la campagna, il suo gatto Marcel ed in generale tutti gli animali, specialmente quelli selvatici.
Odia: Il pianoforte, la tradizione musicale che caratterizza la sua famiglia da generazioni e i suoi genitori per avergliela imposta.
Vorrebbe: Essere libero di decidere.
Curiosità: E' vegetariano. Non mangerebbe carne neanche sotto tortura. Il suo cognome significa "Il ghiro rosso". Il suo primo maestro di piano era un vecchio po’ strano. Ha una cugina italiana, Aida, (bambola di Harukachan) a cui da piccolo era molto affezionato.
Dopo la rinuncia all'eredità di Sartre, Mallarmé, secondogenito dei Le LoirRouge, antica e potente famiglia aristocratica francese, divenne l'erede designato di ogni bene, compresa la tradizione musicale della casata.
Legare a sè i più talentuosi pianisti di buona famiglia provenienti da tutta Europa era, per i Le LoirRouge, più un’ossessione che un desiderio. La rigidissima politica matrimoniale perpretrata per generazioni dall’antica casata era famosa in tutto l’ambiente artistico-musicale, e per un musicista di talento del periodo, il sol pensiero di potersi legare ad essa era la massima aspirazione a cui poteva ambire.
Ma negli ultimi decenni, le cose stavano cambiando.
Mallarmé, il futuro erede del ramo centrale della famiglia, non si rivelò meno problematico del figlio maggiore.
Al contrario del primogenito dei Lanflyte, talentuosa famiglia austriaca a cui l’ultima generazione dei Le LoirRouge si erano legati, Mallarmé era un ribelle.
Cresciuto nel cuore delle campagne parigine, a parte una piccola, incoraggiante parentesi infantile, ben presto il suo rifiuto del pianoforte fu talmente assoluto da suscitare l’ansia e la preoccupazione dei genitori.
I numerosi tentativi di riportare il fanciullo allo sgabello con le buone ebbero come risultato quello di ingigantire un’avversione sempre maggiore verso l’elegante strumento di famiglia.
Fu quasi per burlarsi della volontà dei genitori che Mallarmé, tramite dei mercanti di passaggio, acquistò un modesto violino per pochi denari.
Un violino.
Ulteriore motivo di vergogna per i suoi genitori, arma di riscatto ed espressione personale per sè stesso,
Mai strumento più infimo e volgare aveva varcato la soglia di casa Le LoirRouge.
Mallarmé si ritrovò facilmente in quell’archetto mosso senza schemi, senza alcuno spartito, senza alcuna preparazione. Le sue mani destreggiavano lo strumento con una tale abilità e maestria da lasciar pensare che, per tutti quegli anni, il violino non era stato altro che una parte di sè stesso che attendeva solo il momento opportuno per ricongiugersi. Una’appendice del suo corpo da difendere con la stessa tenacia con cui si proteggerebbe soltanto un organo vitale.
Non era un particolare amore per la musica ad unirlo ad esso, quanto la forza che riusciva ad estraplolarvi.
Ciò che in un primo momento venne intesa solo una ribellione adolescenziale, ben presto si tramutò in un reale problema per l’eredità culturale della famiglia, già duramente provata dalla rinuncia del figlio maggiore.
Fu così che ebbero inizio i viaggi di Mallarmé in Austria, ospite presso la famiglia di origine della madre; Johanna Lanflyte.
Di tradizione musicale non certo inferiore ai Le LoirRouge, casa Lanflyte poteva, al contrario di quest’ultima, vantare dell’incommensurabile talento al pianoforte del loro unico unico figlio maschio, Liszt.
Il diciannovenne austriaco non poteva rendere i propri genitori più felici.
Era perfetto: gentile, talentuoso e – soprattutto - obbediente. Un pò troppo silenzioso forse, ma non era il caso di fargliene un difetto.
Istruito direttamente dal padre sin dalla più tenera età, la sua tecnica era tale e quale, se non superiore, a quella del genitore. A quale miglior erede poter aspirare?
E soprattutto, per i Le LoirRouge, quale miglior compagnia, se non la sua, in grado di riportare il cocciuto cugino sulla giusta strada?
Le estati trascorse in casa Lanflyte avrebbero giovato molto, al giovane rampollo di casa; Di questo, I Le LoirRouge ne erano assolutamente convinti. E non solo; istruire Mallarmé al pianoforte sarebbe stato formativo anche per il cugino Liszt, che avrebbe potuto approfittare di quest’esperienza per affinare il proprio stile, già per sè maturo.
Così come i rapporti avuti in passato, anche i punti che accomunavano i due cugini erano pressoché inesistenti.
L’esuberanza e la caparbietà di Mallarmé spiazzavano e stordivano il pianista austriaco, abituato ad una vita scandita da ritmi e doveri ben precisi. A sua volta, l’estrema accondiscenza ed obbedienza alle assurde regole di famiglia, facevan apparire Liszt, agli occhi del cugino, come qualcosa di più simile ad un burattino privo di anima, che ad un suo coetaneo in carne ed ossa.
Ma nel giro di pochi mesi, Mallarmé rinacque a nuova vita.
Se il suo spirito di rivalsa riuscì in qualche modo riscattare anche l’anima del cugino viennese, incrinando la coltre imperturbabile di apatia ed indifferenza sotto cui essa era seppellita; contemporaneamente, anche la saggezza ed il carattere mite di Liszt non lasciò integra tutta la rabbia e l’insicurezza covata all’interno del giovinetto.
Senza che se ne accorgesse, il pianoforte, quello strumento così odiato, aveva smesso di apparirgli così orribile.
E anche quel mondo, sì. Quell’asfissiante mondo cui tanto aveva auspicato di abbandonare proprio come suo fratello, no...non era così male. Tutto aveva preso un’altra piega, da quando c’era l’Austria;
Da quando c’era Liszt.
Che sia stata proprio la distanza caratteriale tra i due giovani, che sia stata l’imbarazzante diversità tra un paio di note sconnesse su un odiato pianoforte, ed un altro paio su violino di bassa fattura in mano ad un cugino di cui aveva a mala a pena sentito parlare in passato, beh...non ha alcuna importanza.
Il loro amore, privo di alcuna logica, di alcun fondamento, di alcun precedente, stravolse le loro vite come nulla aveva mai fatto prima d’allora.
I due cugini si ritrovarono disarmati dinnanzi ad una passione riflessa non più su un pentagramma da seguire rigorosamente o su un archetto da muovere in piena libertà; bensì nel calore dei propri corpi uniti, nelle effusioni scambiate in gran segreto nei meandri dell’immensa tenuta, nel piacere di stare insieme senza pensare a niente.
Ma non durò a lungo;
Riconoscenti ai Lanflyte per l’ottimo lavoro svolto sul proprio erede, i Le LoirRouge furono ben lieti di stringere l’ennesima alleanza matrimonale; Le nozze, già programmate con una donna di cui Mallarmé sconosceva persino il nome, furono il sipario che scese d’improvviso sul loro mondo idilliaco.
In nessun’altra occasione, prima di allora, Liszt era reso conto di non aver mai lottato per qualcosa, nella sua vita.
Più simile ad un cane, egli aveva sempre accettato qualsiasi cosa gli venisse imposta, senza sè e senza ma.
Gli era stato dato e gli era stato tolto; ed egli aveva sempre accettato qualsiasi cambiamento o decisione senza batter ciglio.
Ma non questa volta.
Il gesto estremo di scagliarsi all’improvviso con il suo cavallo contro l’automobile venuta a portar via Mallarmé fu certo un errore dettato dalla disperazione quanto dall’inesperienza.
Le conseguenze non le aveva valutate.
Dopotutto, erano sempre stati gli altri a valutare ogni cosa al posto suo.
Ma quel che è sicuro, è che quella esperienza insegnò a Liszt il significato di perdere tutto in un solo istante.
Nel devastante urto che ne conseguì, l’auto con a bordo i Le LoirRouge si ribaltò, finendo fuori strada.
I familiari ne uscirono indenni; o quasi.
Per la medicina del tempo, Il grave trauma cranico riportato da Mallarmé era sufficiente a condannare una persona a morte certa.
Ma non morì.
Disgraziatamente, non fu così.
Perchè solo la morte avrebbe potuto portare con se tutta la vergogna, la delusione ed il disonore, giunti a colpire impietosamente le due famiglie come un fulmine al ciel sereno.
Morte che non sopraggiunse, e che proprio per questo, per loro si sarebbe tradotta in una sopravvivenza cento volte più letale di qualsiasi ferita.
E a servire tutto ciò su un piatto d’argento fu proprio Liszt.
Liszt, il figlio perfetto che ogni buona famiglia vorrebbe vantare.
Liszt, che ferito e sanguinante, non si preoccupò più di celare quei bizzarri sentimenti che lo avevano legato per tutto il tempo al cugino venuto dalla Francia a sconvolgere la sua anima.
Ormai era tutto chiaro.
Meglio un figlio morto, che inutile.
Già.
Meglio un figlio morto.
Lo shoc fu enorme, inutile dirlo.
E, forse, fu proprio questo che permise alle loro menti di elaborare la via di fuga più comoda per tutti.
Diseredare un figlio sarebbe servito soltanto ad infangare ulteriormente il nome buon nome delle due famiglie, per cui vi era un’unica alternativa. Un’alternativa decisamente molto più consona al caso.
Mallarmé era morto.
Vittima di un’incidente stradale che stroncò la sua giovane esistenza all’età di diciassette anni.
Le gravi crisi di narcolessia che da quel momento in poi tennero Mallarmé rilegato a letto in stato di semicoscienza, a volte anche per intere settimane, si prestarono molto bene al caso.
Per quanto riguarda Liszt, le fratture riportate alla gamba che lo vollero claudicante a vita non erano state le uniche che non conobbero guarigione.
La sua mano, così anche il suo cuore e la sua anima, anche esse erano rotte.
Con un solo colpo di spugna, la sua carriera da pianista venne definitivamente stroncata.
Proprio come il suo amore per un essere che non doveva amare.
Annullate le nozze, i Le LoirRouge fecero ritorno in Francia a compiangere il figlio perduto per poi, dopo qualche mese, fare armi e bagagli e trasferirsi altrove.
L’esempio fu seguito anche dai Lanflyte che, soffocando sul nascere il chiacchierio spicciolo delle famiglie aristocratiche del circondario, abbandonarono la ridente residenza austriaca per trasferirsi in Ungheria, lasciandosi alle spalle ogni focolaio di vergogna.
Liszt, ovviamente, era uno di questi.
Accudito soltanto dai membri più fidati della servitù dell’ex residenza dei Lanflyte, la presenza del fanciullo dai capelli rossi che giaceva addormentato, nascosto nei meandri dell’enorme villa austriaca che ma in passato era sprofondata in un tale e assoluto silenzio, divenne quasi leggendaria.
Con la sua unica, silenziosa compagnia, escludendo la presenza della servitù, Liszt trascose così la sua vita immerso nella solitudine, nella lettura e nella monotonia quotidiana della sua vita, adesso più che mai priva di alcun valore.
Rapito da un sonno senza sogni, Mallarmé aveva solo brevi momenti di lucidità, del tutto insufficienti persino a permettergli di lasciare la propria camera sulle sue gambe.
Permettergli di vedere un medico era fuori discussione: Il giovane pianista, legamente, era morto.
Girava voce che in Francia fosse stato addirittura celebrato un funerale in suo onore, a cui avevano preso parte musicisti provenienti da tutta Europa.
Qualcosa cominciò a mutare con l’arrivo della piccola Ewa, una bambina polacca senza fissa dimora, che con le sue piccole dita, innocenti ed incapaci come, un tempo, lo erano quelle di Mallarmé, rimosse la polvere depositatasi sul vecchio e maestoso pianoforte di casa Lanflyte...
PS: Geo, ho deciso di taggarti vista la discussione sulla fidanzata di Mallarmé avuta tempo fa X°D

Barsebäck is a closed nuclear power plant in Sweden, which is situated in Barsebäck, Kävlinge Municipality, Skåne. Located just 20 kilometers from the Danish capital, Copenhagen, the Danish government pressed for its closure during its entire lifetime. As a result of the Swedish nuclear power phase-out, its two reactors have now been closed. The first reactor, Barsebäck 1, was closed November 30, 1999, and the second, Barsebäck 2, ceased operations May 31, 2005.
Land for the plant was bought in 1965 by the energy company Sydkraft, and the first of the two BWR reactors was ordered from Asea-Atom in 1969. Unit one first attained criticality on January 18, 1975 and commercial operation began on May 15. The second reactor attained criticality in March 21, 1977 and commercial operation began on June 12. Following a decision in the Parliament in 1997, the Government of Sweden decided that the first reactor was to close July 1, 1998, and the second July 1, 2001. Due to the operator's appeal of the decision, the closure was postponed. The destruction of the facility will await the construction of a storage facility, scheduled to be ready by 2020.
At the time of closure, each reactor had a capacity of 600 megawatts. The plant was operated by Barsebäck Kraft AB, a subsidiary of Ringhals AB, owned by Vattenfall and Sydkraft.
Details on
The Fukusahima I Nuclear Power Plant (福島第一原子力発電所, Fukushima Dai-Ichi Genshiryoku Hatsudensho?, Fukushima I NPP), often referred to as Fukushima Dai-ichi (Dai-ichi simply means number 1), is a nuclear power plant located in the town of Okuma in the Futaba District of Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, first commissioned in 1971. The plant consists of six boiling water reactors. These light water reactors[1] have a combined power of 4.7 GW, making Fukushima I one of the 15 largest nuclear power stations in the world. Fukushima I was the first nuclear plant to be constructed and run entirely by the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). The plant suffered major damage from the 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami that hit Japan on March 11, 2011, disabling the reactor cooling systems and triggering a widespread evacuation surrounding the plant.
The Fukushima II Nuclear Power Plant, 11.5 kilometres (7.1 mi) to the south, is also run by TEPCO.

Cakile maritima
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cakile maritima, the European searocket, is a common plant in the mustard family. It is widespread in Europe, especially on coastlines, and it can now be found in other areas of the world where it has been introduced. It is an inhabitant of the west and east coasts of North America, where it has the potential to become a noxious weed. This is an annual plant which grows in clumps or mounds in the sand on beaches and bluffs. The shiny leaves are fleshy, green and tinted with purple or magenta, and long-lobed. It has white to light purple flowers and sculpted, segmented, corky brown fruits one to three centimeters long. The fruits float and are water-dispersed.
Eruca-marítima
Origem: Wikipédia, a enciclopédia livre.
A eruca-marítima (Cakile maritima) é uma planta da família das brassicáceas (antigas crucíferas, a que também pertencem as couves e os nabos) cujo habitat preferencial são zonas arenosas junto ao litoral, especialmente em dunas. É uma planta carnuda, que atinge de 1 a 4 dm de altura, com ramos a partir da base. Floresce de Março a Dezembro (no hemisfério norte), apresentando pétalas lilacíneas ou brancas. As flores estão dispostas em rácimos pouco densos. As folhas são sinuado-dentadas, compostas por vários segmentos que se apresentam inteiros ou com recortes arredondados minúsculos (isto é, margem crenulada).

22/52 - 52 Weeks for Dogs
Part of my 52 weeks project is to showcase Gyp with landmarks or interesting structures in our city. In this photo Gyp is sitting on a Window ledge about 10" wide, and about 4' off the ground!
This structure is the remaining wall of the orignal hospital in our city. The other hospital structure has now been turned into a gorgeous museum. It also leads to miles of walking trials, which all 3 dogs enjoyed after the photos today.
- - -
The coolest thing happened after this photo, I lifted Gyp down from the ledge, and before I had a chance to call her, she had ran over to a park bench where an elderly lady was enjoying the morning sun, and a cigarette. Gyp hopped right in beside her for a snuggle. I apologized, and the lady was so nice and was more than happy to share the bench with her. I don't think she wanted her to go, she even let me snap some photos of her.

Much Better Viewed Large On Black
Living in Southern California has some real advantages, like visiting Laguna Beach. I took this photo from the outdoor patio of a fabulous restaurant there - what a view!
In this photo I used Photoshop filter Fractalius to enhance the original with a "painterly" effect. (The original photo is below in the comments section.)
INFORMATION ON LAGUNA BEACH, CALIFORNIA:
Laguna Beach includes 7 miles of coastline with some of Southern California most scenic beaches and coves you'll find along the Southern California coast. The best tide pools, diving opportunities, and best sunsets on this region of California coast are right in Laguna Beach. Home to mansions and quaint cottages that line bluffs above the sandy coves, for over 100 years, tourists have flocked to a little piece of paradise to scuba dive, to paint the colors of nature which seem more vibrant there and to enjoy natural beauty not seen elsewhere. Laguna Beach enjoys healthy tourism with over 3 million visitors each year. Note: These numbers do not factor in local day visitors within a close radius to Laguna Beach.
Laguna Beach holds the distinction of having one of the greatest number of localized beaches of any city on the California coast. The list includes the northern beaches of Irvine Cove, Crescent Bay, Shaw's Cove, Boat Canyon, Diver's Cove, Picnic Beach and Rockpile. Central Beaches include Main Beach, Sleepy Hollow, St. Ann's Street, Thalia Street, Oak Street, Brook's Street and Mountain Road Beach. Southern Laguna Beach (South Laguna Beach) beaches include Bluebird Canyon, Pearl Street, Wood's Cove, Moss Point, Rockledge, Victoria Beach and Treasure Island. Guarded by a premier force of lifeguards, Laguna Beaches are operated under the City of Laguna Beach Lifeguard Services. www.lblg.org
What's unique about the Laguna Beach beaches are their tourist and hotel friendly locations. With properties constructed on and near the beach before the California Coastal Commission regulations changed the building permit process, you'll see some spectacular hotel and resorts sitting on cliffs above the ocean in South Orange County. That's why tourists love visiting and staying overnight in Laguna Beach. You can park your car and walk down to the on location beach at many hotels, or walk downtown to the great shops, restaurants and art galleries. Of all the Orange County cities that range from San Clemente, Dana Point, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Seal Beach, Sunset Beach and Surfside, Laguna Beach offers the most beach hotel rooms directly on the sand without crossing Pacific Coast Highway. Montage, the newest resort property, is spectacular with its views, pools, lawns and beaches that are open to the public. You'll be hard pressed to find a more luxurious resort destination than Laguna Beach.
Laguna got its name long ago from the Ute-Azteca Indian word for lakes, Lagonas. Spaniards who arrived later called it Canada de las Lagunas (Canyon of the Lakes) and in 1904, the area became known as Laguna Beach.
Around the same time artist Norman St. Clair traveled from Los Angeles to capture the scenery on canvas. His artist friends were so impressed with his paintings and reports of a balmy year-round climate that they joined him. (He and his wife actually lived in Laguna off and on prior to 1912.) The plein-air artists who painted in the style of French impressionists, settled and by the late 1920’s, half of the residents were artists.
Following the artists came the Hollywood film makers who found Laguna to be every bit as appealing on the silver screen as it was painted on canvas. Many of Hollywood’s famous stars like Bette Davis, Mary Pickford, Judy Garland, Rudolph Valentino, Charlie Chaplin and Mickey Rooney maintained homes in Laguna Beach.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt and John Steinbeck also went to Laguna for inspiration and relaxation, frequenting landmarks like the White House and the Cabrillo Ballroom.
Laguna’s universal allure is best expressed on a famous gate built in 1935 (which still
stands on the corner of Forest and Park Avenues); it reads “This gate hangs well and
hinders none, refresh and rest, then travel on.”

I've travelled from Texas
To Old Loussianne
Through mountains and valleys and plains
Footsore and weary
I rested a while
On the banks of old Pontchartrain
The fairest young maiden
That I ever saw passed by when it started to rain
We both found a shelter
Beneath the same tree
On the banks of old Pontchartrain
I ventured a smile but she thought I was bold
I hastened to try and explain
Somehow I knew I would linger a while
On the banks of old Pontchartrain
We hid from the shower and hour or so
She asked me how long I'd remain
I told her I spend the rest of my days
On the banks of old Pontchartrain
As time drifted by we fell deeper in love
A love that would just bring her pain
I knew that one day I would leave her alone
On the banks of old Pontchartrain
I just couldn't tell her that I ran away
From a jail on the West Texas plain
I prayed in my heart I would never be found
To the banks of old Pontchartrain
Then one day a man put a hand on my arm
Said I must go west the same day
I said I couldn't without saying goodbye
On the banks of old Pontchartrain
Tonight I sit here alone in my cell
I know that she is waiting in vain
And hoping and praying someday to return
On the banks of old Pontchartrain

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

We had some some of the best light of the year on the central coast tonight. As I left the house and hit the highway, I couldn't take my eyes off the fantastic clouds and golden beams of light. Just beautiful. And I was running late. I should have already been shooting this stuff, but I just floored the pedal and headed for Davenport as quick as I could. I knew exactly where I wanted to go--down to the Davenport pier at beach level as these clouds were what I'd always envisioned behind the pier, but had never gotten before. When I got up there, I was shocked at how far to the north
the sun was setting--too far out of frame for what I had in mind. Right then I decided if I went down to the beach, I'd be missing whatever color this sunset would offer. So I stayed on the bluffs and shot it from all directions. It was all slightly disappointing, as these little adventures often are for me when I fail to get the shot I wanted.
But you often end up with interesting stuff anyway. And I kind of liked this shot, with the cliff walls and cloud banks framing the pier right and left, top and bottom.

INFORMATION ON NAVAJO INDIAN WEAVING:
There is an ageless beauty to Navajo weaving. Navajo weavings are many things to people. Above all else, Navajo weavings are masterworks, regardless of whose criteria of art is used to judge them. They are evocative, timeless portraits which, like all good art, transcend time and space. Navajo weaving has captured the imagination of many not only because they are beautiful, well-woven textiles but also because they so accurately mirror the social and economic history of Navajo people. Succinctly, Navajo women wove their life experiences into the pieces.
Navajo people tell us they learned to weave from Spider Woman and that the first loom was of sky and earth cords, with weaving tools of sunlight, lightning, white shell, and crystal. Anthropologists speculate Navajos learned to weave from Pueblo people by 1650. There is little doubt Pueblo weaving was already influenced by the Spanish by the time they shared their weaving skills with Navajo people. Spanish influence includes the substitution of wool for cotton, the introduction of indigo (blue) dye, and simple stripe patterning. Besides the "manta" (a wider-than-long wearing blanket), Navajo weavers also made a tunic-like dress, belts, garters, hair ties, men's shirts, breechcloths, and a "serape-style" wearing blanket. These blankets were longer-than-wide and were patterned in brown, blue and white stripes and terraced lines.

I have been a HUGE fan of this man's work for a very longtime. I have played at many of the theatres he has designed. He is a Theater Designer and has worked on some of the most recognized theatres in the WORLD. It was an honor to get to spend a few hours with him and get to see him work! He showed me ALL the work he has done in his lifetime, I got to sit with him at his desk where he creates and designs these masterpieces!!!!!! I kept having to stop and just take it all in, when you have followed a person's work, and then get to actually sit and see them work, it is breathtaking. He is an ARTIST in every sense of the world. He knew he wanted to design theatres at the tender age of 4, when his mom took him to see a show. The lights, colors, textures, patterns, dancers, actors, etc all left a lifetime impression on him that lasts till this very day! He has miniature 1/8 scale models of all of his work, the intricate details that he puts into his models is beyond AMAZING!!! I feel truly inspired, blessed, and privileged to be one of the few people that have taken his portrait. He has invited me over to do more and also he let me know I can use his studio to do photoshoots anytime I want to. His studio in itself is a work of art, I will be sharing more pics of his studio and models in the days to come. I hope you enjoy this picture as much as I do.

P.S. My Hard Drive crashed yesterday, which is a bummer, but all is not lost. I was able to retrieve ALL of my Raw files, however lost ALL of my post processed pics. I only was able to retrieve my web resolution shots. So I have A LOT of work to do, but it is ok. I get to wake up and do what I LOVE to do everyday!

Wicklow, Irish: Cill Mhantáin, meaning "church of the toothless one"[1][2]) is the county town of County Wicklow in Ireland. Located south of Dublin on the east coast of the island, it has a population of 10,070 according to the 2006 census.[3] The town is situated to the east of the N11 route between Dublin and Wexford. Wicklow is also connected to the rail network, with Dublin commuter services now extending to the town. Additional services connect with Arklow, Wexford and Rosslare Europort, a main ferry port. There is also a commercial port, mainly importing timber and textiles.
Situata nella parte sud-occidentale della Basilicata, la Valle prende il nome dal fiume Agri ed è una delle valli più belle e caratteristiche dell'Italia Meridionale.
La forma della valle è quella di un'ampia varice, circondata dai rilievi montuosi, e presenta ambienti e zone molto diversificate.
I centri abitati sono posti sulle colline situate lungo la parte iniziale del tragitto del fiume (lungo 136 Km) che nasce alle pendici del monte Volturino e sfocia in mare nei pressi di Policoro.
La zona è dominata da due monti: il Volturino (1856 m.) ed il Monte di Viggiano (1725 m.) sul quale ha sede il Santuario della Madonna di Viggiano, uno dei più noti di tutta l'Italia Meridionale.
Le bellezze naturali in Val d'Agri sono innumerevoli; degne di nota sono la faggeta del Volturino, ricchissima di fiori di bosco come i ciclamini rosso scuro, l'agrifoglio, i gigli rossi ed i narcisi; la faggeta di Moliterno dagli alberi imponenti e i castagneti di Tramutola.

"All of us remember that sad day. The day Ondylion got destroyed. Overwhelmed by Revolword's forces the city weakened the evil army, but could not be saved. One of the main reasons for attacking Ondylion was the presence of the Order of the White Wyvern. If those creatures would have grown, it would have been a serious threat to Revolword. One got killed in the fight, but the other was captured and no one has heard of it since..."
