Wat is straô?
Straô is een jaarlijks terugkerend evenement op een aantal zaterdagen in het voorjaar, waarbij de voeten van de paarden in de zee worden 'gewassen'. De dorpen aan de westkant van Schouwen-Duiveland hebben allemaal hun eigen straô-viering.
Straô-rieen is een historisch feest en gaat ver terug in de tijd. In vroegere tijden stonden de werkpaarden de gehele winter op stal. Zodra de winter tegen het einde liep, ging men met de paarden de zee in om de voeten te wassen. Hoewel de werkpaarden van vandaag nog uitsluitend als hobby worden gehouden en zeker niet meer een hele winter op stal staan, wordt de gewoonte nog steeds in stand gehouden.
what is Straô
Straô is an annual event on a number of Saturdays in the spring, where the feet of the horses in the sea 'washed'. The villages on the west side of Schouwen-Duiveland have their own straô celebration.
Straô is a historic celebration and goes far back in time. In ancient times were the workhorses throughout the winter in the barn. Once the winter by the end went, they went with the horses to the sea in order to wash there feet. Although the workhorses of today be held solely as a hobby and certainly not a whole winter on stable, the habit still maintained.

The wife and I got out and i got a little shooting in. Started out driving along the front range and before I new it I was driving up hwy 34 to Estes Park. It was mid afternoon so we grab some lunch and headed into Rocky Mountain National Park. The sun was still high but casting some deep shadows and the snow, well it was just brilliant white. I used a minus 2/3EV to get the details of the white and did a bit of fill in shadows in processing then I burned back shadows deeper where I wanted them. I was also using the polarizing filter and dialed in just the amount of light I wanted in the stream. Moraine Park is a gorgeous area to shoot and we also came across some elk laying in the shadows of the trees. That shot will come another day.
By the way it was T-shirt weather today and even in the mountains. Maybe now we will have a spring.
Inside the old, abandoned High School in Toyah, Texas.
Story continued from this image...
Alright, so having discovered the existence of another opening on the other side of the building, I quickly folded up my tripod and made for the basement exit. I hustled around to the east end of the old school building, and whadya know...there's a big steel door standing wide open, it's 4 x 8 plywood having been removed and lying down on the concrete steps down to this basement entrance. I made my way down the step and shined my streamlight inside...nothing very impressive here either; just a hallway with a couple doorways off either side. I stepped in, and examined to room to my right.
This room was completely empty except for a non-professionally made wooden table, about 3x6 feet, of about the size and height someone might lay down on. The rest of the room was basically fairly clean of debris...it began to look as though this building had remained sealed for several decades, and had only been breached very recently. There was no tagging to be seen anywhere, which was quite refreshing compared to most places like this that I visit. Whoever forced their way in at least had respect for the place...perhaps an urban explorer type, rather than drunk teenagers looking for a place to party.
One other thing I forgot to mention about this side...the ceiling here is normal height, not 5 feet like on the other half. Not sure how they worked that, but it was a relief to not have to walk around all bent over.
The second door on the right side of this hallway was actually just a second exit door for the room with the table, which was the largest room I'd seen here yet. So I wandered across the hallway to the lone door on that side, which was right next to the outside door through which I entered.
This room turned out to be the bath & shower room you see in the photo above. The blue paint was both rich and in surprisingly good condition, other than a few minor peels here and there. I looked at that shower head arrangement and thought about how cramped together 3 young men would be trying to simultaneously shower there. I didn't like that mental image so I switched it to three young women...there, that's better...
Anyway, I decided to snap this photo of it, and as I stepped back into the hallway to fire off the red strobe, I managed to get my $500 Marchon Airlock glasses hooked on my stretch knit cap, and because they were so cold, the arms snapped right off. Flyin' blind now!
OK, so the other thing in this hallway, at the very end on the left, is the stairway up to...what? I didn't know yet, but it was time to find out. I was as giddy as a schoolgirl in a 3-head shower as I made my way up the creaky, unstable wooden steps, covered with dust and rubble from years of deterioration, all highlighted quite coldly in the flat, bluish light from my LED flashlight.
Hmm...what's that sound coming from above?

In 1940, the night before their first mass jump, the 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment of U.S. paratroopers at Fort Benning watched the film Geronimo (1939 film), in which the actor playing Geronimo yells his name as he leaps from a high cliff into a river, depicting a real-life escape Geronimo successfully attempted in which with his Cadillac horse, he jumped off Medicine Bluff at Fort Sill, Oklahoma into the Medicine Creek. Private Aubrey Eberhardt announced he would shout the name when he jumped from the airplane to prove he was not scared. The trend has since caught on elsewhere, becoming widely associated with any sort of high jump in popular culture. This unit was the first parachute battalion of the U.S. Army.

Allá por 1940, un grupo de soldados del regimiento 501 de paracaidismo de los Estados Unidos se preparaba para realizar su primer salto con paracaídas y el día de antes se juntaron todos y decidieron ver una película y echar unas cervecitas para calmar los nervios. La película que vieron era Gerónimo, filmada en 1939, y trataba sobre la vida de un ilustre jefe indio apache en Norteamérica del mismo nombre.
En una escena de la película sobre Gerónimo, salía su protagonista huyendo y para escapar se tiraba a un río desde una gran roca. Y efectivamente, mientras se tiraba gritaba su nombre a todo pulmón: “Gerónimoooooooooooooo“.
A los paracaidistas americanos les pareció una buena idea gritar igual que el apache cuando realizaran su primer salto, como una forma de quitarse los miedos, y así lo hicieron. A partir de entonces el regimiento adopta el nombre de Gerónimo bajo su insignia.

Hoy una gota de agua se ha puesto el traje de fiesta transparente e invisible como el aire, y sobre su cuello ha dejado de señal su collarcito de Anabaena, allí, ingrávido, sus perlas verdes se mueven silenciosas y ondean lentamente unidas por el hilo de la vida al soplo de las corrientes del agua.
Anabaena es una cianobacteria, una alga verdeazulada. Ancestral, tan antigua como los primeros seres vivos que florecieron de la nada en las aguas de la Tierra cuando la vida era excepción, también futurista como los últimos que desaparecerán con ella. Ha acompañado a nuestra nave azul en épocas de calma y de también de convulsión y es capaz de soportar ambientes extremos, aguantando heladas intensas y soportando temperaturas superiores a los 70ºC.
Anabaena va añadiendo cuentas al collar que adorna esta gota de agua,como mago sin chistera y de cada una va haciendo poco a poco dos, como si nada, así se teje su vida entre las manos de la corriente que la lleva en volandas por el infinito del Lago de Sanabria.
Todas las cuentas de los collarcitos de Anabaena, dejan espacio, a intervalos regulares, para que otras gemas, los “heterocistes”, células perfectamente esféricas y algo mayores que las demás, se destaquen, y lo hagan tanto por su forma y tamaño, como por su función. Los heterocistes se encargan de fijar el nitrógeno, que procedente de la atmósfera, se ha disuelto en el agua y de esta forma constituyen uno de los primeros eslabones para la formación de proteínas.
Anabaena es verdeazulada, como una turquesa teñida de cielo, de su luz toma la energía para realizar la fotosíntesis y del aire y el agua el nitrógeno que recorrerá las vidas de otros seres. La vida en el Planeta se ha hecho posible gracias a cianobacterias como ellas que transformaron una atmósfera irrespirable en la que tenemos desde hace millones de años.
Anabaena es un mucho más que un collarcito que va creciendo cuenta a cuenta mientras se da un paseo por la vida y adorna el cuello de fiesta de las gotas de agua.
La especie de hoy Anabaena planctonica flota enfundada en su traje transparente de mucílago, casi invisible, pero eficaz y protector, evitará que sus cuentas se desgranen y se caigan despistadas hacia el fondo.
Al igual que otras cianobacterias Anabaena se defiende fabricando potentes sustancias neurotóxicas -anatoxina, saxitoxina y microcystina- que provocan graves daños en el sistema nervioso, lesiones hepáticas irreversibles o incluso la muerte a los animales que se alimentan de las plantas con las que puede llegar a establecer simbiosis. Anabaena ha establecido estos estrechos vínculos de amistad, una amistad con la que defiende su vida y la de sus amigos .
Anabaena planctonica vive en aguas estancadas en las que puede formar parte del plancton y crecer de forma explosiva si las condiciones para ella son favorables y se cita por vez primera para el Lago de Sanabria desde esta galería

In Southern California, we have deserts, we have mountains, and we have deserts in our mountains. At an elevation of 4,000 feet, this is one beautiful example of a desert in the mountains, with its own kind of fall colors.
The contrasts between the reds, grays, tans, browns, and greens were quite striking during the day, but I would not have been able to capture them, since they were too extreme. I think the perfect time would have been at first light or just before sunset, but I didn't expect such beautiful scenes, so we didn't arrive in time for a morning shoot and we were still busy with testing in the afternoon, so there wasn't time before sunset.
This was shot at about 30 minutes after sundown and the colors are pretty true, but the sky was still blown and when I compensated for that, the rest of the scene was too dark. I wish I would have brought my tripod, so I could have made an HDR, but if I did, it probably would have looked fake, since it already kind of does in this single shot.

Em máu lạnh, em ác, ừ em là người như thế ;) Nhưng ngược lại anh vẫn tiếp tục yêu em. Có thể em ghét anh và em sống không cho 1 thằng đàn ông nào hết . Nhưng anh không cần những lời nói đó từ em. Vì đó chỉ là những lời dối trá phía sau một con người luôn thật thà với anh . Anh sẽ coi em là một người đã chết. Thà anh sống với 1 bóng hình mãi mãi còn hơn là vứt bỏ một người sống ko phải là bản thân ! Hãy cố gắng để trở lại là em ! Vì anh luôn đợi . Ok ? Từ bây giờ mỗi người sống 1 cách. Mỗi người có 1 con đường đi. Anh sẽ không thất hứa. Luôn ở bên em . Nhưng anh chỉ làm vậy khi nào em thực sự cần anh. Anh cũng sẽ sống vì bản thân mà không vì 1 con đàn bà nào cả ! Và anh tin rằng. Những gì anh đang làm ở hiện tại và anh sẽ làm trong tương lai, anh sẽ có nhiều " con đàn bà " hơn :)) Nếu em đọc được những suy nghĩ này của anh. Em hãy coi như là anh đang thay đổi ! Anh có thể không là " Đcl " của em nữa ;) ! Đúng ! Vì anh chỉ là " Đcl " khi nào em là " Đkkđy " của anh . Cũng đừng hi vọng là anh sẽ buồn . Không đủ đâu em ! Ha :)) Chính em đang dậy anh 1 điều : yêu người ta không có nghĩa mình phải luôn tôn thờ ! Không có như thế đâu nha =))
Arriba: Puente grúa sobre las columnas del pórtico lindero a la futura estación Echeverría correspondiente a la prolongación de la línea B, una de las tantas obras de subte desfinanciada por el macrismo. Al frente del mismo (a la der), el viejo teatro 25 de Mayo remodelado y reinaugurado.
LAS PROMESAS DE MACRI Y LAS OBRAS
Dos megaobras mantienen este año un ritmo sostenido: Arroyo Maldonado y Teatro Colón. Pero la ampliación del subte camina a paso de hombre y son varios los proyectos que quedaron en compás de espera. El Gobierno porteño asegura que no se paralizó ninguna obra, aunque reconoce la existencia de demoras y dificultades. Hasta qué punto Macri cumplió sus promesas. Opinan los candidatos.

Texto: Por Enrique Colombano y Laura Di Marco para Noticias Urbanas.
Mauricio Macri ganó las elecciones porteñas prometiendo una avalancha de inversiones públicas, eficiencia y velocidad a una ciudad harta de la ineficiencia, la lentitud y la desinversión crónica. Se vendió a sí mismo, más que como un político, como un empresario eficaz, un ingeniero carente de las viejas mañas de la corporación política. Se vendió como alguien que venía de "afuera". Lo nuevo frente a lo viejo; los hechos frente a las palabras, sobre todo frente a las palabras de los "progres", que lo habían precedido en la gestión.
En pleno frenesí de su campaña llegó a prometer que construiría 10 kilómetros de subte por año, en una ciudad tan colapsada por el tránsito que cualquier paro de subtes la convierte en un tsunami en cuestión de minutos. Sin embargo, a un año y medio de gestión PRO, ¿cuántas de todas aquellas promesas esperanzadoras pudo concretar? ¿Cuál es realmente la obra pública de Macri y la inversión en infraestructura que está llevando adelante? ¿Cuánta plata dijo que iba a destinar a su gesta urbana, y cuánta destinó realmente? En una palabra, ¿cuánto de aquella eficiencia prometida ante las cámaras pudo llevar verdaderamente a la práctica? Como es lógico en estos casos, las percepciones varían, y sólo los números suelen darnos pistas más certeras.
Mientras el oficialismo jura que los 3.300 millones de pesos previstos para la obra pública de 2009 es el mayor porcentaje invertido en el rubro de los últimos años, y que PRO ha hecho más en un año y medio de gestión que los "progres" en muchas administraciones, la oposición responde, lapidaria, que Macri no ha hecho, directamente, obra pública, si por ella se entiende una inversión destinada a infraestructura de alto impacto. Por ejemplo, más subtes. Los legisladores del arco opositor le achacan al macrismo concentrarse en hacer cosas visibles –tales como el bacheo o la refacción de veredas–, pero no las que son más necesarias a largo plazo. Sospechan de transferencias de fondos estatales a las constructoras privadas y de conexiones non sanctas entre el oficialismo y las empresas vinculadas al grupo Macri. Le facturan que sólo inauguraron una escuela, en la Villa 21, y que, encima, es un predio que había sido previamente recuperado por los vecinos de la zona. Lanzan que del hospital prometido en Villa Lugano sólo hay una salita de primeros auxilios. Le cuestionan que este año los chicos porteños volverán a pasar frío en las escuelas por una impericia de gestión. Desde el Acuerdo Cívico y Social, el segundo candidato a legislador de Lilita, Juan pablo Arenaza, lo explica: "La Legislatura votó el año pasado una norma que le permitía a Macri destinar dinero a la mejora de la infraestructura en las escuelas, y de ese porcentaje sólo ejecutó un 40 por ciento; no queremos subtes, pero al menos que ponga gas en los colegios".
Finalmente, lanzan, de los 10 kilómetros de subte prometidos no pudo hacer ni uno solo. Macri –es sabido– acusa al Gobierno nacional y, de paso, a la escasa colaboración de Daniel Scioli en el fracaso de llevar adelante políticas con mirada metropolitana. Más aún, Gabriela Michetti, que lidera las encuestas porteñas, justificó su renuncia a la vicejefatura para pasar a la "pelea nacional" con el único objetivo de cambiar esas "injustas" reglas del juego, según los macristas.
Cristian Ritondo (PRO), presidente de la Comisión de Obras Públicas de la Legislatura, explica la situación con números en mano: "Nosotros esperábamos contar con 2.500 millones de dólares de financiamiento: 1.500 millones los iba a aportar el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID), 500 millones la Ciudad y 500 millones la Nación, porque se había hablado con el ex jefe de Gabinete, Alberto Fernández, sobre la posibilidad de trabajar juntos para el Bicentenario". La historia que sigue es conocida: el Gobierno nacional jamás consideró avalar el pedido de toma de deuda, la economía mundial entró en crisis y, por último, Fernández se fue mal del Gobierno. La realidad es que hoy las obras del subte "sobreviven" a paso de hormiga con el presupuesto asignado (116 millones de pesos), además de un 5 por ciento de lo que recauda Autopistas Urbanas S.A. (AUSA), que se destina a Subterráneos de Buenos Aires (Sbase) y que son apenas 12 millones de pesos más. Esto alcanza para mantener en funcionamiento las obras civiles, pero no para tender la red.
Este mes se debería haber inaugurado la estación de Corrientes y Pueyrredón de la línea H. No ocurrió. El Gobierno porteño sólo alcanzó a poner en funcionamiento las estaciones Puán y Carabobo de la línea A, que, encima, ya estaban terminadas desde fines de 2007.
Desde la oposición, el segundo candidato de Diálogo por la Ciudad, el ibarrista Mario Gygli, sale a cruzar a PRO: "Yo puedo demostrar, con números, que Macri miente cuando se victimiza. Él puede avanzar perfectamente con las obras de los subtes con presupuesto propio, sin pedirle plata a nadie, como lo hicimos nosotros en plena crisis de 2001, cuando construimos 11 kilómetros".
Desde el Frente para la Victoria, Francisco Tito Nenna va en la línea de Gygli cuando destaca que Buenos Aires tiene uno de los presupuestos más vigorosos del país. Y avanza: "Lo que hay es una transferencia de los recursos del Estado a empresas de construcción privadas, amigas del macrismo, que son las que se dedican a arreglar veredas y baches".
Para las obras de ampliación de la red de subtes, el macrismo había asignado inicialmente 447,5 millones de pesos, pero más adelante tuvo que recortar a 116 millones. Ya sea porque los demás fueron peores, porque lo actual no es tan malo como dice la oposición o porque la estrategia de la "acupuntura urbana" –y visible– da resultado, lo cierto es que, según las encuestas, los porteños, aunque no están del todo conformes, no le soltaron la mano a Macri. Más aún, los politólogos suelen decir que la estrategia de victimización "paga" en el caso de Macri: la gente, en general, le cree cuando culpa al Gobierno nacional. Una cosa es verdad: además del aval para el financiamiento de subtes, la Nación "cajoneó" el Fondo de Infraestructura Social (Foiso), una toma de deuda por 1.600 millones que Macri pensaba destinar a la obra social, como refacción de escuelas y hospitales.
REALIDADES Y PROMESAS
De todas las megaobras prometidas, lo cierto es que sólo dos marchan a ritmo este año: las refacciones del Teatro Colón, que terminarían en 2010 según promete el Gobierno porteño, y la del canal aliviador del Arroyo Maldonado, que permitirá evitar inundaciones en vastas zonas de la Ciudad.
Después, sí, se incluyeron obras de envergadura intermedia. Veamos: intervenciones en la Red Pluvial II –son 25 y el Gobierno porteño promete terminar la mitad este año– o las obras de la 9 de Julio Sur, a cargo de AUSA. Y finalmente, tenemos bacheo, lo más visible, la ampliación de calles, construcción de placitas, adoquinados, desadoquinados, peatonalización, muchos obreros vestidos de amarillo con la leyenda "Haciendo Buenos Aires", más bacheo, antenimiento. La famosa "acupuntura urbana". La megaobra del Teatro Colón es un tema aparte; le destinarán 106,5 millones, pero desde el Frente para la Victoria sugieren que en las demoras hay algo turbio. Nenna dirá concretamente: "Hay que estar atento porque pueden llevarnos a un proceso de privatización".
Cuando en noviembre del año pasado el ministro de Desarrollo Urbano, Daniel Chaín, fue a la Legislatura, a las reuniones previas a la aprobación del Presupuesto 2009, reconoció que este año el Gobierno porteño iba a tener que suspender obras previstas por 472 millones de pesos.
Desde el macrismo, el vocero del Ministerio de Desarrollo Urbano, Sergio Levit, es enfático cuando niega que se hayan parado obras y, en cambio, destaca los avances en la obra del Maldonado: "Es la obra más importante que se hace en Latinoamérica y la que tiene la más mayor tecnología". En verdad, lo que la administración PRO tiene para decir es que hacen lo que pueden con el dinero que tienen. Y hay muchas obras que se dejaron de lado, entre ellas la anunciada construcción de nuevos neuropsiquiátricos, el aliviador de la Cuenca Medrano-White y la megalicitación Oasis Urbanos, una construcción de espacios verdes en lugares estratégicos de la Ciudad, que fue reemplazada por un programa de licitaciones progresivas.
Desde la oposición dicen, en cambio, que Macri tiene serios problemas para encarar licitaciones de largo aliento. "No tiene cuadros capaces de llevar adelante y concluir un proceso licitatorio", dicen, palabras más o menos, desde Proyecto Sur, el FPV, el socialismo, el ibarrismo y el lilismo porteño. Precisamente, desde Proyecto Sur, el médico del hospital Argerich, Jorge Selzer, segundo candidato a legislador porteño detrás de Fabio Basteiro, lanza un último dardo al ingeniero PRO: "Debería planificarse el crecimiento
urbano y poner topes en la Ciudad, de lo contrario la polución y el consumo de energía van a ser insostenibles". El año pasado la Legislatura sancionó, luego de varios años de demora, el Plan Urbano Ambiental (PUA). La norma, ordenada
por la Constitución de la Ciudad, es la ley marco que garantiza los derechos urbanos de los porteños. De allí se desprende cómo se debe planear la Ciudad a partir de ejes como el transporte, los espacios públicos, la vivienda, la producción o el empleo. El PUA sugiere la discusión de una política interconectada y, también, la reformulación urgente del Código Urbanístico, que dice qué se puede construir y en dónde. Hoy el Código que se usa es del 77 y no responde al modelo de ciudad que propone el nuevo plan urbano. También redactar nuevos códigos de Habilitaciones y Espacio Púbico. Finalmente, ampliar la mirada a escala metropolitana, en lugar de centrarse sólo en la Ciudad, es otro de los desafíos.
A estas alturas, Macri ya debe haberse dado cuenta de que para achicar la distancia que media entre la campaña y el poder real deberá apelar sí o sí a la política. Porque con la ingeniería sola no le va alcanzar.

This was a shoot from my first air show put on by the Navy Blue Angels. A fantastic show. These planes (for the show) are flying at speeds ranging from 150-450 mph, so high shutter speed is important to get sharp images and is not really difficult to achieve on sunny days like this one. The Blue Angels have a predetermined spot at which they perform some of their maneuvers like this one in which they pass by one another at a very close distance (remarkable) so here, shutter speed, aperture, steady camera and knowing that sweet spot where they pass is important to get sharp images. Here, I didn't know where that center point was so I panned with the number six plane and shot at 5 frames a second hoping to get the image I got, but because of my panning the number five plane became blurred (traveling the opposite direction of the pan). The show was wonderful and I learned a lot.
This image was shot with a 70-200VR lens at 5.6 and a shutter speed of 1/2500 sec.

The territory of the Siberian Lynx covers Scandinavia, Russia, Asia Minor, Iran, Iraq, and Western Europe. Reintroductions taking place in Switzerland, Austria, Italy and Yugoslavia.
Siberian lynx can be found in forests, mixed woodlands and other such areas where there is heavy undergrowth for cover. These predators usually hunt at night, but severe weather occasionally forces them to become daytime hunters. They are fond of rabbits and hares, which form the major part of their diet, but they also eat rodents, birds, deer and sheep.
The Siberian lynx is still found widely throughout northern and central Asia, but it is rapidly losing its territory in Siberia. It still ranges from Estonia to Siberia, but its northern boundary has shifted more than 250 miles north due to human settlement. It is becoming more isolated in remnant habitats in central and southwestern Russia, with reports that is gone from Moldavia and most of the Ukraine.
These beautiful creatures are being killed by hunters for their pelts and by sheep farmers. In Europe, where governments once paid bounties to eliminate the lynx, they have been re-introduced with mixed results. The re-introductions have been somewhat successful in Austria, Yugoslavia, Germany and Italy, using mostly animals live-trapped in Czechoslovakia. As a result, these long-legged, ruff-cheeked cats are gradually returning to Switzerland's Jura Mountains.

Hoy es para mí un día triste, muy triste, jodida e inmensamente triste.
Hace unas pocas horas he recibido como un mazazo la indeseable noticia del fallecimiento de mi buen y querido amigo, el Doctor Luis Alberto Melograno Lecuna.
Pocas horas antes de abandonarnos, nos dejaba éste mensaje en su página de facebook donde, tan sólo desde hace unos meses, una legión de seguidores vivía pendiente de su evolución y de sus vivencias a través de una especie de club de fans, un grupo de seguidores del Doctor Melograno Lecuna, creado especialmente con ese fin. Decía en ese último mensaje:
“(...) Nuestra vida es muy corta y el tiempo pasa volando...Si alguien sabe que el sentido de la vida es algo distinto y mejor que el de desarrollar nuestros talentos para hacer cosas trascendentes para nuestra especie, por favor que me pase el dato(...)”
Dr. Luis A. Melograno Lecuna.
He querido titular esta trilogía de fotos con una cita de su querido y admirado maestro Jorge Luís Borges, que estoy seguro que él aprobaría con orgullo, y que además es un claro reflejo de lo que ha sido su vida, su intensa y bien aprovechada vida, a pesar de su cortedad, pues ha sido un hombre renacentista, polifacético, inquieto por cualquier actividad humana que se moviese a su alrededor. Un hombre de una vasta cultura e innumerables vivencias, viajero impenitente y gran conversador. Todo un lujo de ser humano. Un hombre próximo, cariñoso, siempre dispuesto a embarcarse en cualquier proyecto, para con su esfuerzo personal, satisfacer las demandas de las personas de su entorno, a pesar de que su entorno era muy, muy grande.
Tuve oportunidad de conocerte, amigo, virtualmente como a tí te gustaba decir, a través de la página flickr, ese gran punto de encuentro para todos los fotógrafos del orbe, cuando uno de los primeros estadíos de tu enfermedad te tuvo postrado, y tú aprovechaste la ocasión para, utilizando este espacio como una válvula de escape, darnos a conocer una ingente cantidad de tú material fotográfico. Desde un primer momento supe que había tenido la enorme fortuna de haberme topado con un ser especial, con un ser excepcional, con una de esas personas con las que merece la pena compartir escenario en esta puñetera vida. Tu optimismo, tu alegría de vivir, tus conocimientos y tu generosidad y amplitud de miras no me dejó indiferente ,y supe desde ese mismo instante, que tendría un amigo para siempre al otro lado del Atlántico.
Recuerdo con enorme cariño y emoción, uno de los primeros mensajes que me enviaste:
Hola, Chema!
Cuando por primera vez aparecí en Firenze, mientras me acercaba en la Galería de la Academia de Bellas Artes a la espectacular escultura del David, escoltada a ambos lados de gran pasillo de paredes ocre pálido por los famosos "prisioneros" de Buonarroti, me surgió instintivamente un comentario sobre ese artista colosal que a los 28 años pudo gestar semejante obra.
Fue así que llegué hasta la base de la escultura, y extendí mi mano hasta tocarle el dedo gordo del pie izquierdo (sin que nadie me viera para que no me llamara a la atención), mientras murmuraba una frase que a mi enteder (desde la profunda admiración y el afecto), resumía lo que en mi despertaba el genial Michelangelo.
Simplemente dije: "Éste es un hijo de la gran puta"
Con el mismo respeto y admiración y hablando de fotografía, querido Chema, debo decir... que eres un hijo de la gran puta...
No elijo una sola foto tuya como favorita, porque todas lo son, y no tiene sentido derivar a mi listaddo de fotos todo tu photostream. Simplemente voy a él, y lo disfruto. Sólo puse, por una cuestión de agradecimiento, la primer HDR que publicaste y me dedicaste.
Por lo visto, no existen las casualidades, sino las causalidades...
Y en ese sentido, Flickr ha sido (lo sigue siendo) una fuente de energía y estética y amigos virtuales y ganas de vivir...
Un abrazo,
Betto
Aún me aborda una triste sonrisa cuando releo tus palabras escritas, que en aquellos momentos me sorprendieron con un inmerecido orgullo. Nunca podrás saber cuánto te las agradecí en aquel momento. O quizás sí. También me obsequiaste con un emotivo testimonial que aparece en mi perfil de flickr, y que desde entonces ha sido para mí un pequeño tesoro que conservo y conservaré con agradecimiento y cariño hacia tu persona.
A raiz de ello comencé a seguirte a través de tus múltiples blogs y páginas, a conocer tu obra, a leer tus escritos, con los cuales pude ligeramente aproximarme a atisbar la dimensión de tu obra y de tu persona. Betto, desde luego que en el momento de entregar la cuchara no lo has hecho con las manos vacías, ni mucho menos. Si hay que rendir cuentas ante alguien o algo del aprovechamiento de una vida, es un hecho bien cierto, que tu llevas el zurrón lleno de experiencias y vivencias intensamente aprovechadas y sentidas, intensamente trabajadas en beneficio siempre de la gente que hemos tenido la gran suerte de convivir y compartir contigo el camino a recorrer en algún momento de tu existencia.
Cuando tuve más confianza contigo, tuve la osadía y atrevimiento de solicitar de tí una presentación escrita para el catalogo de mi exposición fotográfica Una historia de 36.520 días. No sólo tuviste la amabilidad y generosidad de contagiarte de mi entusiasmo con el proyecto, escribiéndome una de las presentaciones más emotivas y más bellas que cualquier fotografo haya podido tener, sino que, en un alarde de imaginación, ingenio y creatividad, elaboraste una pequeña cita para cada una de las fotografías, para juntando todas ellas, componer un precioso poema exaltando el edificio de la casa consistorial vallisoletana, que era el tema sobre el que versaba la exposición. No escatimaste ni un minuto de tu tiempo para, desde el mismo momento en que te presenté la propuesta, aceptáses el reto, y desde el día siguiente ya te pusieses manos a la obra, solícito y entrañable, como te mostrabas siempre que alguien se acercaba a tí o requería de tí. Recuerdo entrañablemente a mi paisano y amigo Angel María de Pablos, recitando tu poesía el día de la inauguración de la exposición, mientras los presentes seguíamos con la vista todas y cada una de las fotos, acompasando nuestras miradas con la lectura del texto.
Quiso la fortuna que, casi coincidiendo con la inauguración de la exposición, tuviéses que acudir a un reclamo que te hicieron desde España para participar en unas jornadas sobre educación, en las que volviste a presentar tu proyecto de educación integracionista, y gracias a lo cual pudiese tener la ocasión y el inmenso honor de conocerte en persona, de compartir un tiempo contigo. Tuve la oportunidad de poder disfrutar de tres cortas pero intensas horas contigo en Madrid, robándoselas a tu apretada agenda y, compartiendo mesa y mantel, departir sobre lo divino y lo humano, en una intensa conversación donde no recibí de tí otra cosa si no buenos consejos, fruto de tus conocimientos, tu gran bagage cultural, tu arrolladora personalidad, y sobre todo tu gran experiencia vital y vitalista. De vuelta a Valladolid, regresaba ilusionado por el hecho de haberte podido conocer. Todo un lujo, que he querido plasmar y recordar con estas tres fotos que realicé con motivo de dicho encuentro.
A partir de ahí todos los acontecimientos se han desarrollado mucho más rápido de lo que todos hubiésemos deseado. He seguido tu enfermedad de una forma silenciosa, leyendo todas tus experiencias vitales frente a la enfermedad que te ha ido acorralando. Experiencias que tú generosamente nos has brindado y compartido a través del blog que, enmarcado por tu ironía y con cierto tono burlesco, fruto de tu fino sentido del humor, -recuerdo cómo nos reímos cuando me contáste como tuviste sospechas de la existencia de tu enfermedad,- titulaste socarronamente ¡A pelear se ha dicho!, hasta que hoy finalmente, hace escasas horas, has perdido tu última batalla, ahora ya tu guerra. Pero lo has hecho, no con una rendición -hubiera sido impensable en tí-, ha sido muy a pesar de tu inmensa voluntad, y de tu desbordado amor por la vida.
Betto, has vivido deprisa, pero también has muerto deprisa. Nos dejas una enorme sensación de frustración y vacio, un pequeño hueco en el alma, una cicatriz que será dificil de cerrar, pero también un recuerdo imborrable, y esa impronta que solo la buena gente deja en herencia a las personas que les han rodeado y compartido vivencias con ellas. Lloro tu muerte, pero me cabe la inmensa satisfacción y el bello recuerdo de haberme podido contar entre tus amigos. Mi abrazo emocionado, igual al que nos dimos cuando nos despedimos el día en que se hicieron estas fotografías, va para tu esposa Fátima, y para tus hijos y nietos, de los que tanto me hablaste, a los que profesabas un inmenso cariño, y de los que te sentías tan orgulloso.
Allá donde estés, donde coño quiera que vayamos, si es que vamos a algún lugar cuando la parca nos cursa visita, te llegará este recuerdo en forma de humilde homenaje y admiración hacia tu persona. A mí, al menos me habrá servido de desahogo, para deshacer ese nudo en la garganta que se ha apoderado de mí desde el momento que he recibido la dolorosa noticia.
¡Hasta siempre, Betto!, porque siempre estarás en mi corazón y en mis recuerdos.
Every achiever that I have ever met says, "My life turned around when I began to believe in me."

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.

Inside the Walled Garden and a view of the tower of the 12th Century Church.
I've finished this set, arranged it in roughly chronological order following the route I took around the garden that morning, and have added a scan of the brochure and map/plan of the garden at the end of the set. If you have time, you can run the SLIDESHOW in FullScreen Mode and get an idea what the place was like in mid May.

When Monty Don produced his television series for the BBC, Around the World in 80 Gardens, a few years ago, he chose only two English Gardens - Sissinghurst and Rousham. I had visited Sissinghurst on two of my earlier visits, but I decided I needed to see Rousham on this trip, so I took the 30 minute train trip from crowded, bustling Oxford one cloudy morning and then the easy 15 minute walk from the Heyford station, and was at the entrance to the gardens by 9:45.
It was like entering a different world. I got my 5 Pound ticket from a vending machine in the courtyard, and had been wandering around the green landscape for almost an hour before I encountered even one other visitor.
According to the Wikipedia entry: "Rousham House is still the home of the Cottrell-Dormer family, who keep the garden and estate so uncommercialised that no book exists to guide the unwitting tourist, and no shop sells postcards or souvenirs. A visit to Rousham today is very similar to one enjoyed by a visitor in the 18th century. The gardens and buildings are superbly maintained but not manicured. The visitor is not made afraid to tread on the grass or to pause for thought on a rustic bench. In such a state a spirit of the 18th century survives at Rousham."
For a very well written history of the garden, begun by Charles Bridgman, and refined and completed by William Kent by 1741, here is a link to the entire entry:

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.

Large size: 'Reflection Of Male''
this is a reflection of Male' (e is spelled as the letter e in cafe')
The Face of Male' (the capital of Maldives)..... and the national flag...
there were many tourists around the area was a busy day (u know the regular sightseeing stuff) i saw this little pool of water left after the rain. I was almost lying on the ground to get this shot... the tourists must have thought i was mad... hehe...!
I also like how it looks like Male' is over shadowed by a big dark cloud... but it's actually the colour of the stones on the ground..
This is one of artist Dale Chihuly's glass art displays at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona. The exhibition at the Garden is named "Chihuly: The Nature of Glass" and Chihuly's work is displayed from November 22, 2008 to May 31, 2009. The Nature of Glass exhibit features new and unique works of glass artfully located throughout the Garden. Dale Chihuly is known for his innovative glass sculptures, and his work is immediately recognizable for its grand scale and vibrant colors. This is Chihuly's first exhibition in an outdoor desert environment.
“The artist permits and encourages photography of the artwork in this exhibition for educational and non-commercial use only.”
INFORMATION ON ARTIST DALE CHIHULY:
Dale Patrick Chihuly (b. September 20, 1941 in Tacoma, Washington, United States) is an American glass sculptor. Chihuly graduated from high school in Tacoma. Supported by his mother, after his brother George's death in a flight-training accident in Florida and his father's death of a heart attack, he enrolled at the College of the Puget Sound (now University of Puget Sound) in 1959.
In 1967, he received a Master of Science in sculpture from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Chihuly lives and works in his 25,000 square foot (2300 m²) studio, nicknamed "The Boathouse" for its former use, on Lake Union. Since losing the vision in one of his eyes in a car accident in 1976, Chihuly (who wears an eyepatch) no longer has the depth perception necessary to handle the molten glass himself. Instead, he conceptualizes each project with paint and canvas and then employs a team of artists to do the work.
About his work: His fascination with abstract nature forms comes from his mother's garden in Tacoma, Washington. One of his sculptures would be prominently displayed on the sitcom Frasier, which is set in nearby Seattle. His love for the ocean and its creatures is also reflected in his art.
Over the past forty years, Chihuly's glass sculptures have explored color, design, and assemblage. Although his work varies in size and color, he is best known for his multipart blown masterpieces. Also interested in Irish culture, he has produced a sizeable volume of "Irish cylinders," which are more modest in conception than his blown glass works.
Some of Chihuly's works cover whole ceilings of casinos and hotels, while others are hand-sized abstract flowers. Chihuly uses intense colors to bring his work to life. He is also known for using neon and argon.
Chihuly uses nature as a setting for his pieces, and tries to create his pieces as though they are part of nature. He sometimes entwines his pieces around tree branches and trunks. He also suspends them in space and floats them in water. Although it is not widely known, some components of Chihuly's installations (for example, the stacked aqua-colored chunks that decorate the Tacoma "Bridge of Glass") are made of an acrylic-type material rather than glass.

" Eu sei e você sabe
Eu sei e você sabe
Já que a vida quis assim
Que nada nesse mundo levará você de mim
Eu sei e você sabe
Que a distância não existe
Que todo grande amor
Só é bem grande se for triste
Por isso meu amor
Não tenha medo de sofrer
Que todos os caminhos
Me encaminham a você.
Assim como o Oceano, só é belo com o luar
Assim como a Canção, só tem razão se se cantar
Assim como uma nuvem, só acontece se chover
Assim como o poeta, só é bem grande se sofrer
Assim como viver sem ter amor, não é viver
Não há você sem mim
E eu não existo sem você! "

The Austin Strobist group did a Frank Frazetta Tribute Shoot. Frank Frazetta is/was a comic book and fantasy artist. This image was loosely inspired by Frazetta's "Cat Girl" print (warning: nudity). I'm thinking it looks more like a Rembrandt given the spot lighting. I shot for Frazetta and hit Rembrandt. Oh well!
Model: Sarah Snell
Lighting: Canon 580 EX II on full power camera left and slightly above the model. 1/2 inch gridded snoot.
Composition: Many, most, all (?) of Frazetta's paintings are composed with the subject dead center, from a wide angle, and with the viewer looking up at the subject. I went for that look here as well.
Post Processing: Most of the lighting in this shot was done "in camera". I did the following in post:
- Slight saturation adjustment to bring out the color of her skin, hair, and the color of the leaves.
- Very slight curves adjustment to increase contrast.
- Added some vignetting around the corners to draw the viewer into the frame.

This is a photo of the old abandoned Ludlow Cafe on Route 66 in Ludlow, California. The Ludlow Cafe served its last ice cream malt years ago.
The original photo was taken by Jonas Hansson, a very good Swedish friend of mine, on his trip with his father Hans in 2006 (via their vintage Volvo PV convertible) across the USA on Route 66. With Jonas' permission, I've been selecting some of my favorite photos of their road trip along the "Mother Road" and doing some post processing... enhancing, cropping, tone mapping, special effects, etc.
The original photo was not so great. I used Photoshop to crop and enhance the photo, and then my Photoshop filter "Fractalius" to turn it into a digital painting/drawing. This is one that looks much better when viewed large.
Below is a link to Hans and Jonas' blog about their historic trip:

LUDLOW, CALIFORNIA, THE TOWN THAT REFUSES TO DIE:
Today, Ludlow is a town that refuses to die. Ludlow is really three towns in one. It is a ghost town of two eras; the mining era and old Route 66. When Interstate 40 was built the Route 66 Ludlow died. Residents picked up and moved north another block to meet the Interstate. It is the Interstate that keeps Ludlow alive today.
Located along the railroad tracks of the 35th parallel, Ludlow became a water stop for the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad in 1882 (now the Santa Fe RR). The discovery of ore in the nearby hills assured the town of growth in the late 1880's. The decline of mining and rail traffic in the 1940's spelled Ludlow's decline. Ludlow is a ghost town of two eras; it was also a stop on old Route 66. When Interstate 40 was built Ludlow died a second time. Businesses moved once more to meet the demand of travelers on the new Interstate leaving another collection of highway memories baking in the intense Mojave heat.
During the heyday of Route 66 Ludlow was a welcome stop for the tired and thirsty traveler, a place to rest and get away from the heat of the Mojave Desert. This second more modern ghost town tells a tale of the glory days of Route 66 when travelers would stop for a bite to eat or get repairs on their cars. If they were heading west they knew that the next day they would be on the golden shores of the Pacific Ocean.

Editing: The scene was mostly black and white but the heavy light and contrast created some chromatic aberrations so I had to desaturate anyway.

Ok .........I bought us a genuine sassafras hiking stick for Kat for this reason........to spot the little critters ahead of us without walking thru the webs but not disturbing them either........not sure if many know what this are but here we call them "bannana spiders"..............needless to say they are huge but are supposed to be non poisoness.........this again one of the many beauties in the Big Thicket........have a great week my friends
This is the first of my shots from a recent trip to Western Australia's beautiful South West. I'm sure Steve would agree: it was a challenge shooting this beach -- the weather was off and on and the clouds were flying over at pace that really isn't suitable for stitching. Because of the incoming rain, we gave up early and started to head back, only to have the sun come out again and everything started to glow; so we turned around again and set up the tripods for round two.
We were lucky the tide didn't come in too quick, we managed to get back around the cliffs without getting too wet, though Steve's shoes did suffer quite a deep and smelly trip though the mud.
It was an awesome trip and it was well worth the hours in the car and getting soaked in the rain.

Querol, Tarragona (Spain).
A beautiful view from the road.
Una bonita vista desde la carretera.
ENGLISH
Querol is a municipality in the comarca of Alt Camp, Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain.
Querol was occupied by the Frankish troops towards year 950. The first documentary reference is in a letter of king Lotario, dated year 988.
In the 993 it belonged to Ansulfo, countal vicar of Gurb that, in its testament, left some territories of its castles of Montagut, Querol and Pinyana to the Monastery of Sant Cugat. In 996, Sendredo and its wife Matressinda sold, among other goods, the three mentioned castles to Hugo of Cervelló. In 1053, Guerau Alemany of Cervelló put in tribute and under the authority of Ramon Berenguer I of Barcelona, the three mentioned castles, in addition to the one of Pontils. This tribute was repeated in 1062.
The castles comprised the barony of Cervelló or of the Llacuna, and towards end of 13th century the castle of Querol became in center of the Barony of this name. The castle and the village were sacked and set afire in 1400, and both received manifold attacks in all the wars that knocked down the country.
The Barony of Querol was always tie to the Cervelló, of which it passed towards 1528 to the Barberà family, castelans of Vilafranca of the Penedès, and towards 1597 to the Saiol, which had it until 19th.

Los castillos formaban parte de la baronía de Cervelló o de la Llacuna, y hacia finales del siglo XIII el castillo de Querol se convirtió en el centro de la Baronía de este nombre. El castillo y la población fueron saqueados e incendiados en 1400, y ambos recibieron múltiples embates en todas las guerras que asolaron el país.
La Baronía de Querol estuvo siempre vinculada a los Cervelló, de los cuales pasó hacia 1528 a la familia Barberà, castelanos de Vilafranca del Penedès, y hacia 1597 a los Saiol, los cuales la poseyeron hasta el siglo XIX.

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.”

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

Congregation Ohab Zedek, or OZ, as it is fondly known, is more than just a synagogue. Under the leadership of Rabbi Allen Schwartz, the Shul is known for its open doors and big heart. OZ has broad ties with the surrounding Jewish community and its Upper West Side neighborhood as a whole. A random visitor could easily encounter an up and coming scholar from Israel, or members of the local fire station. It is an informal, comfortable, inclusive community.
OZ is a modern Orthodox congregation, but any individual is welcome, regardless of background or means. It is a Shul of interlocking communities--young families who find a relaxed setting on Shabbos morning to introduce their toddlers to services; singles, who famously crowd the steps on Friday night; and seniors, many of whom have been members of OZ for decades. It is home to those tentatively exploring Judaism as well as the most learned, who are stimulated by a broad array of lecturers and classes.
OZ is known for its wide range of Chesed activities, which include a long-time Bikur Cholim group that visits Mount Sinai Hospital each Shabbos and on holidays, as well as its members' regular visits to homebound seniors. Members also subsidize seats for those in need on Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur.
OZ has a proud history. The Shul was founded in 1873 on Avenue B and Houston Street on the Lower East Side as the First Hungarian Congregation Ohab Zedek. After a sojourn on West 116th Street in Harlem, the Congregation moved to its present location at 118 West 95th Street in 1926. Today, as part of a revitalized Upper West Side that has drawn an ever-expanding population of families and young adults, OZ is a vibrant and dynamic Jewish center for prayer, learning and social activities.

i had a photo shoot yesterday for the artwork that is going to be on display on the walls of a new restaurant/bar opening here in Tallahassee. It's all pin-up girl themed and this is a behind the scenes shot of what we did yesterday.
This was toward the end of the shoot when we didn't have 4 hair/make up people, other models, another photog, and just random people coming in and out.
It was super hectic, but the images that I got are hands down some of my best. Super excited to post some of them!

BTW- I am discontinuing my 365 project. I'm a little disappointed in myself because I feel as though I never commit to anything, but it really IS so hard some days to take and upload good shots when you're busy 24/7. I'll probably still upload almost every day, but I'd rather not have the 365 pressure.

GRflickr "Birthday" Photowalk
Grand Rapids, Michigan
I was honored and humbled to spend the evening of my birthday walking around Grand Rapids with 15+ photographers... what a way to spend a birthday. I thank each and everyone of you for the best gift ever, friendship.
Quien no tiene para contar alguna historia de la puta mili....bueno yo no porque por aquél tiempo aun no se había incorporado la mujer en el ejercito, no existía tal posibilidad, así que soy una mera espectadora más de todos aquellas batallas que me han contado otros que si vivieron el panorama del servicio militar reglamentario. Cuántas anécdotas quizás os haga recordar a muchos de vosotros , situaciones agradables y otras desagradables y que os hago ahora buscar en el baúl de vuestros recuerdos…
Navegando por internet, encontré un artículo sobre este tema, una de esas historias de la mili y en la que muy posiblemente alguno pueda sentirse identificado por haber vivido una situación similar o parecida.
A mi , la verdad, me causó gracia el leerlo, así que he decidido acompañar ese artículo en la presentación de esta singular foto donde parecen estos gansos estar en formación...esperando pasar revista, o esperando que toquen diana, o esperando que suene la marcha militar….
Así que ¡¡ ARR , firmes !!...empieza ya :
Para algunos estas historias de la puta mili, lejos de aquél lugar y de aquél tiempo vuelven a reproducirsele en su vida , de tal modo que el Cuartel ha cambiado de nombre y se le llama ahora Hogar Familiar……., y sin querer agraviar a ninguna mujer por supuesto, pero quien no ha oído decir a él eso de : ¡¡“ Mi señora es un sargento” !! y a ella gritar Pepee pero donde vas con esos zapatos sucios!!!...Pepe, pero si no te has cortado el pelo!!!!!....Pepeeeeee y esa barba!!!!!!....Pepeeee pero metete la camisa por dentro del pantalón!!! y nada, al final empieza la discusión y terminas arrestado en casa…y a dormir en el catre que tenías por aquellos entonces en el calabozo - en la actualidad algo más cómodo, porque en casa es el sofá-… porque claro en la cama ya ni se te ocurra meterte…20 días de arresto sin catarlo!!,.( ya sabéis “el qué” cuando se dice eso)….
Son “historias de la puta mili “ que parecen que nunca tienen fin.

In September of 2004, John L. Hennessy, President of Stanford University, made the unprecedented decision to reject Device to Root Out Evil, a sculpture that had been commissioned by the President's Panel on Art by the American sculptor Dennis Oppenheim. Hennessy feared a potential controversy because the sculpture is an inverted church. In a statement, Hennessy said the piece was "not appropriate" for the campus.
Following this announcement, the local and national press reported a dismayed and sometimes outraged reaction to the President’s verdict from those who felt that the University should not use hidden decisions to avoid controversy.
Later, Oppenheim has announced that the Benfic Foundation, a private foundation, located in Vancouver, British Columbia has purchased "Device to Root Out Evil" for over three-hundred thousand dollars and it is permanently installed at Harbour Green Park, the longest continuous waterfront park in downtown Vancouver. At the present site, the twenty-five foot aluminum structure shimmers against the waterfront background. Hand-blown deep red glass shingles and blue-glass windows reflect sunlight during the day and are illuminated from within at night. The sculpture's new home enables Vancouver citizens and visitors to permanently enjoy the conversation which Device to Root Out Evil evokes. The sculpture is part of the The Vancouver International Sculpture Biennale Open Spaces 2005/2006.
The artist maintains that his interest is in exploring the dialogue between architecture and sculpture. Device to Root Out Evil "withdraws functionality from architecture." To those reading religion into the work, he answers that "Turning the church upside down makes it more aggressive, but not blasphemous."
HBM!
Sorry I missed last week!
I was having computer problems (again).
But it's all straightened out now, and I should be good for a while *fingers crossed*
Anyways, This is one of the many benches around campus here.
I wasn't sure what my Bench Monday picture would be today, since I had an idea, but wasn't able to execute it.
But this worked out rather nicely I feel.
I hope you all had a great start to the week and a great rest of the week!

Baggara streek (= nomaden)
We rijden dwars door een savanne - gebied waar veel nomaden doortrekken met hun grote kudden runderen en geiten.
Het zijn de Fulani - nomaden die het Nuba-gebied doortrekken. Ze komen van west Soedan en trekken in de richting van de Witte Nijl naar het oosten.
De vrouwen en kinderen zitten hoog bovenop de kamelen, waarop ze dikwijls een bed hebben gemonteerd. Van daaruit hebben ze tevens een goed uitzicht hoog boven het hoge gras. Soms volgen nog wat volgeladen karren met etenswaren en vooral met veel water. Die karretjes worden dan getrokken door ezels.
uit:
Fula or Fulani are an ethnic group of people spread over many countries, predominantly in West Africa, but found also in Central Africa and Sudanese North Africa, and as far as Sudan in the east. Fulas are not a majority in every country they live, but in Guinea they represent a plurality of the population (largest single group).

The Cat & Fiddle Inn is at the summit of the road between Buxton (Derbyshire) and Macclesfield (Cheshire) and is the second highest inn in England, at 515 m (1,689 ft) above above sea level.
The view looks NNW to Shining Tor (559 m) and its summit is a border point between Cheshire (to the L) and Derbyshire (to the R). It is the highest point in Cheshire.
The inn was originally built in 1813 and is just inside Cheshire by a few metres, Derbyshire being not far behind the building. The inn is completely surrounded by bleak Pennine moorland typical of much of the Peak District National Park. Apart from its own outbuildings, it's completely on its own. The bleak gloomy aspect is how it really was (heavy cloud and rain) when I took the photo - at midday! Also, the inn is constructed of local gritstone, with local gritstone on the roofs, and these have weathered almost to black. The inn was also shut for the Christmas/Boxing Day holiday so there were also no lights in the windows or illuminations.
CAT & FIDDLE PASS
The road here (A537) is popularly known as the 'Cat & Fiddle Road' because the inn is one of the few landmarks and significant buildings along its uppermost stretches. Although not usually referred to as a pass, it is one of several pass-like roads over the high moors between Buxton (Derbyshire) and the towns of the Cheshire lowlands to the W, and I like to refer to it as the 'Cat & Fiddle Pass'.
This road has long stretches of irregular tight bends and twists on both approaches to the summit especially on the Macclesfield side (in the direction of the camera), and is a challenging drive at the best of times, let alone in winter at night. It is a favourite road amongst motorcyclists but has been voted the most dangerous stretch of road on Britain mostly on account of its frequency of motorcycling accidents. However, recent safety measures have reduced the accident rate.

GEOLOGICAL NOTE
Shining Tor (skyline L) is underlain by Carboniferous Chatsworth Grit, the uppermost grit of the Millstone Grit Series (Namurian).
