Posiblemente ésta sea la segunda vez que se graba en vivo en nuestro Planeta. Una joya muy valiosa para el estudio de la Evolución. Debemos tratar que la contaminación no la haga desaparecer del Lago de Sanabria, donde se ha fotografiado por vez primera para la Península Ibérica.

Los diamantes del Lago de Sanabria, están labrados en facetas rectangulares y cristalinas, son joyas diminutas y vivas, más valiosas, aún si cabe, por ello y son como todas las joyas, escasas y excepcionales...tesoros que esconden algunas incógnitas sobre la vida que la ciencia trata de desvelar.
El cascarón de diamante de Paulinella encierra el cuerpo de una minúscula ameba junto a dos secretos de color verde brillante, dos cianobacterias muy primitivas del género Prochlorococcus o Synetochoccus que forman con ella una asociación de simbiosis que ha conseguido que la pequeña ameba viva sin necesidad de capturar su alimento. Sólo con la luz del sol y lo que fabrican para ella sus dos verdes huéspedes se mantendrá, mientras que éstos se conforman con la hospitalidad y protección que les da el vivir dentro de su casa diamante de vistas luminosas. En esta casa de milésimas de milímetro parece que no hay espacio para más, ni tampoco necesidad.
Paulinella es una ameba tan diminuta como extraordinaria y no sólo porque su cuerpo esté protegido por una vasija de diamante fabricada con tiras de cuarzo que son sus facetas. Las tiras se recortan en rectángulos perfectos y alargados que ensamblados, construyen una vidriera transparente y permiten que la luz entre e ilumine su interior.
Precisamente de luz van estas palabras y es que Paulinella es una especie de eslabón perdido en la conquista del aprovechamiento de la radiación que nos llega del Sol. Paulinella imita ahora lo que ocurrió hace más de mil millones de años cuando las células vegetales aparecieron tras una asociación de simbiosis similar a la que ahora nos enseña Paulinella entre una célula que tenía que capturar el alimento y otras cianobacterias que vivían del agua y del sol.
En Paulinella encontramos una representación muy primitiva de lo que fueron las primeras células vegetales en las que los plastos serían las cianobacterias...por este motivo esta ameba diamante es buscada como un tesoro y estudiada como modelo.
Paulinella vive sobre la vegetación acuática y lo puede hacer también sobre algunos musgos. Hasta hace poco tiempo sólo se habían reconocido cuatro especies. Sin embargo, hace poco más de dos años, fueron halladas otras seis nuevas en muestras costeras procedentes de Canadá. La familia ha crecido mucho y su interés por ella también.
Su descubrimiento en el Lago de Sanabria complementa al realizado en la cercana Laguna de Peces también en Zamora y supone un notable hallazgo para la Península Ibérica de la que sólo se conoce la cita de Pedro Sánchez Castillo en 1988 en Sierra Nevada.
El origen de los cloroplastos de los organismos vegetales es más que probable que surgiera en nuestro Planeta a partir de una relación de endosimbiosis primaria en en la que un protista (protozoo) engulló a cianobacterias bacterias fotosintéticas estableciéndose una estrecha relación de cooperación entre los dos tipos de organismos. Los descendientes de estos primitivos organismos eucariotas y fotosintetizadores, probablemente dieron lugar a las algas rojas y verdes, a las glaucofitas y a las plantas verdes.
Por sucesivas endosimbiosis secundarias y terciarias entre las células eucariotas se originaron los plastos y de este modo el proceso fotosintético se propagó e incorporó a otros grupos de seres como las algas pardas, las diatomeas o los dinoflagelados y dio lugar a una enorme diversidad biológica entre los organismos eucariotas fotoautótrofos que sustentan las redes alimentarias de la Biosfera. A pesar de la enorme trascendencia de este hecho y de la importancia evolutiva de este acontecimiento y de la gran cantidad de información que se tiene acerca de la evolución de los plastos en los vegetales, la comprensión de los orígenes de los plastos es muy limitada, ya que se produjo durante el Proterozoico, hace aproximadamente 1500 millones de años.
Sin embargo, la comprensión de este acontecimiento fundamental en la historia de la vida en nuestro Planeta se ha podido abordar desde otra nueva perspectiva a partir de los estudios de la ameba Paulinella chromatophora , descrita por Robert Lauterborn hace más de cien años. Esta ameba poco conocida del supergrupo "Rhizaria" es excepcional dado que contiene en su interior dos orgánulos derivados de cianobacterias que se han denominado cromatóforos.
Existen dos poderosas razones para considerar a estas estructuras verdes del interior de Paulinella chromatophora como cromatóforos (plastos) y no como organismos endosimbióticos temporales. La primera de ellas es que la propia ameba Paulinella, regula la división de estos orgánulos. Y la otra razón es que se ha reducido aproximadamente en 2/3 el material genético de estos orgánulos con respecto al de las formas vivas de las cianofíceas de las que proceden Prochlorococcus / Synechococcus y este proceso se ha producido bien por una pérdida de este material genético propio o debido a su transferencia al material genético de Paulinella .
Todo este proceso que ocurrió en tiempos relativamente recientes -hace unos 60 millones de años- y que se asemeja a lo que se supone que ocurrió hace más de 1500 millones de años con otros seres ya desaparecidos hacen de Paulinella un modelo de excepcional interés para la ciencia. Y este auténtico tesoro para la ciencia, vive sobre los fondos del Lago y la Laguna de Peces, pero es más que probable, que si los procesos contaminantes continúan produciéndose en el Lago de Sanabria, esta joya única de Paulinella , pueda desaparecer en poco tiempo.
Desde Proyecto Agua se fotografía viva por primera vez para la Península Ibérica y se han podido grabar por primera vez para la ciencia sus lentos movimientos, desde las aguas de este Lago de origen glaciar, que reclama atención a través de estas joyas de agua.
Hemos encontrado a Paulinella en el Lago de Sanabria, a cuatro metros de profundidad y ha sido fotografiada a 400 aumentos con la técnica de contraste de interferencia. Procede de una muestra de agua recogida desde el catamarán Helios Sanabria el 16 de febrero de 2014 por Andrés Rotea y José Ramón junto a la Isla de Moras.

A common sight in the ancient streets of Zadar, Croatia.
Zadar is a Croatian city located between Rijeka and Split, not far away from Sibenik. It is a few thousand years old [and]was the capital of Dalmatia for many centuries. The Zadar peninsula still preserves very old network of narrow and charming city streets, as well as a Roman forum dating back to the first century AD. The pre-Romanesque Church of St. Donat dates back to the ninth century, and it is certainly Zadar's most famous spot.
Zadar is also well known for having the attractive Romanesque churches: Cathedral of St. Anastasia from 13th century and Church of St. Chrysogonus from 12th century as well as the church tower of St. Mary dating back from 12th century too. The town is fortified with medieval walls, distinguished for their pretty and impressive ports – entries in the city all dating back to the sixteenth century.
Enjoy your weekend and thanks for stopping by.

Op de lichamen van de dansers worden geraamten getekend. Heel luguber. We zien dan ook de skelettendans en het gevecht tegen de kwade geesten.
This Red Maple was planted in our backyard approximately 30 years ago and has survived Juan a hurricane that hit Halifax on Sept 29th, 2003. It has grown to almost 30 feet tall and is beautiful when the early morning sun hits it. This beautiful Maple can be seen when sitting at out dining room table and is fantastic in the early morning light. HBW everyone !

There is this awesome, amazing, epic band that is known as Jack's Mannequin. On their latest album, The Glass Passenger, one of the tracks is 'Annie Use Your Telescope'. My dear friend Megan, who is hopelessly in love with Andrew McMahon, the brains behind Jack's Mannequin and my obsession, /Something Corporate. (I was turned on to SoCo when I was 12, hardcore love.) Soon after their most recent album was released, I turned Megan on to Flickr, and that is why her Flickr name is Megan Use Your Telescope.

i redid my room!
on saturday julia came over and we cleaned my room. let me tell you, my room was a MESS. it took us six hours. by the end i had countless bags filled with papers and just general shit that used to sit on the floor in my room. then i had one massive garbage bag full of clothes (now my dresser drawers can actually open and close! yes!) and one garbage bag full of "accessories". these bags came in the mail from the lupus foundation, so they just got a ton of stuff from my room.... the only thing i don't understand is why having lupus makes you need clothes and stuff? but i guess they are for poor people with lupus. also, the whole time i was thinking of house. and how it's never lupus... i also gave away a TON of books. an entire shelf full, actually. so about a quarter of all the books i own. which is a lot.
then we painted blackboard paint onto my wall. and then we painted a silver "picture frame" around it. but it's kind of just a wavy silver blob. that was extremely fun. and now a have a chalk board on my wall! theeennnnnnn we put up all sorts of pictures and magazine stuff and artwork.
and then today i bought a PAPASAN CHAIR. i didn't know that was the name for it until today, but it was kind of an impulse buy and i'm incredibly happy. lol. i also moved my bed.
so i accomplished a lot in the past few days. actually, i've pretty much done everything on my todo list EXCEPT finish any of my summer reading/homework. so now my chalk board is a very not fun list of stuff i need to do.
i'm reading pride and prejudice in the picture, but i'm really only up to chapter 18 in the sparknotes. lol. i'm going to hell. i still need to read the picture of dorian gray, some book about john mccain's 2000 campaign, do my ap bio homework, study for the ACT, and work on my college essays. fml.
AND SCHOOL STARTS ON WEDNESDAY :(
Label 116 indicates the location of Hollywood Farm where Alexander Morson's (b1805 - d1850) family lived. Today, it would be located to the west a third of the way up Hollywood Farm Road just before getting to Wildcat corner. According to WPA researcher, Julia Marie Heflin, Hollywood was the estate of Arthur Alexander Morson (1803 - 1864), Alexander's brother, and is nine miles east of Falmouth in Stafford County, Virginia. [He and /or his brothers probably inherited it from his/their father who died in 1822 when he was 19, being the eldest in the brother and because his eldest sister, Marion died in 1819 at age 18]. This confuses some historians who naively mix it up with land owned by Arthur Morson in Hartwood to the west of Falmouth because Hartwood and Hollywood used to be part of King George county before 1777. After 1777, the boundary of King George county was moved east of Butzner Corner, VA. and Hartwood and Hollywood became part of Stafford county. The original Hollywood colonial home was built in 1823 and burned down in 1889. Real Estate records indicate that the brothers of Alexander and Arthur, Hugh and John Morson sold the rest of their grandfather's Hartwood land west of Falmouth which is known as the Morson tract. Later on, Hollywood would be sold to the Purkins about the same time Alexander Morson (b1805 - died before 1850) passed away. Alexander's wife, Maria May Berry (b1812 - ), died before 1860 and the kids were orphaned and taken care of by their Uncles as indicated by 1860 census records. The eldest, not an orphan, Alexander Morson (b1836 - d1854) would graduate from VMI and die of Yellow Fever in Louisiana working for the Army Corp of engineers. John A Morson (b1838 - d1880) would live with Uncle Arthur in Richmond, fight in the Civil War as an assistant surgeon, and settle in Mississippi. The sisters, Catherine Berry "Kate" Morson (b1841 - ) and Susan S Morson (b1841 - ) lived with their youngest Uncle James Marion Morson in Goochland. Finally, Arthur Alexander Morson (b1846 - d1914) lived with his Uncle Hugh until he attended VMI. In 1864, he fought at the Battle of New Market. Then he settled in Mississippi, married Bessie Eppie Dameron (1860 - 1835), and established a dairy business in Van Winkle, Jackson, Mississippi.
I'm still trying to find the Hollywood graveyard which, according the Heflin, is very large. Probably the best way to find the Morson's Hollywood home site is to ask folks in the area where Purkins' graveyard is. The original colonial home was 25 yards (another web site says 600 feet) south of it. If there is anything left, it would probably be just a brick foundation. The graveyard would be the easiest area to find although it may be enveloped by thick forestation. In January 2006, I drove up Hollywood Farm road and could not find it.
Here are all my references about the graveyard and Hollywood Farm: Hollywood Cemetery, Hollywood Farm Mountain Bike Trail, Driving Tour the Army of the Potomac in Stafford County 1862-1863, Master List of Places Mentioned in the Letters to Dr. Carmichael & Son, WPA Survey Report, Hollywood, research made by Julia Maria Heflin, January 7, 1937.
If anyone can help me identify the location of the cemetery or the home it would be greatly appreciated. Please post comments and clues here. THANKS in advance!!!

Todos los rotíferos filtran el agua y la hacen girar en remolinos con las aspas de su corona, que son cilios ▷. Con frecuencia esa corona es doble y se sitúa como en Philodina, formando dos rodetes a ambos lados de la cabeza. A veces esa corona crece y se deshilacha en tentáculos que terminan convirtiéndose en finísimas antenas como ocurre en Collotheca.
En ocasiones, cuando crece de manera uniforme forma un gran disco y ésta es una de las principales características de la familia de los Floscularidos. Esa corona, extendida como un plato es casi circular en Ptygura, algo lobulada la presenta Limnias, pero también ligeramente acorazonada y suavemente angulosa la exhibe el rotífero de hoy, que, de perfil, más que una corona recuerda a un sombrero de mariachi. La mayor parte de los rasgos anatómicos del protagonista de hoy nos llevan a pensar en Sinantherina , pero aunque son la mayoría no lo son todos.
El rotífero que nos acompaña se muestra solitario y apenas se sujeta con el extremo de su pie a unas briznas de materia orgánica que ha encontrado en el fondo. Se protege a sí mismo escondiéndose dentro de su cuerpo, como hacen todos los rotíferos, pero no ha construido una casa para refugiarse como la que fabrican sus parientes más próximos, Limnias o Ptygura .
Sinantherina vive a cuerpo descubierto y sólo protege el extremo de su pie, que calza dentro de un diminuto zapato gelatinoso. La defensa de Sinantherina no la encuentra en su coraza inexistente sino en el resto de sus compañeros con los que se suele asociar…son tan originales que no se unen por la mano, lo hacen por el pie y forman así pequeñas rosetas que siempre filtran el agua. Sin embargo, el de hoy, parece haber optado por la soledad
Sinantherina es un rotífero que vive en aguas estancadas y que con frecuencia se asocia para vivir formando colonias de vida fija o libres y viajeras. La solitaria de hoy procede de unas muestras recogidas en unas praderas encharcadas junto a la población zamorana de Mahíde y ha sido fotografiada a 200 aumentos utilizando la técnica de contraste de interferencia.

Parus caeruleus
El herrerillo común (Parus (Cyanistes) caeruleus) es un ave de la familia de los páridos. Es uno de los pájaros de mayor colorido de Europa: su librea azul, verde, amarilla y blanquinegra es inconfundible. Ave ampliamente distribuida por el continente europeo, norte de África y Oriente Medio, se conocen varias subespecies.
Taxonomía
Herrerillo en una rama.
La especie fue descrita por primer vez por Lineo en su Systema naturae de 1758 como Parus caeruleus.1
La mayor parte de las autoridades mantiene Cyanistes como subgénero de Parus, aunque la Unión Británica de Ornitólogos trata Cyanistes como un género distinto.
Existen dos subespecies africanas. Una en las islas Canarias (P. c. teneriffae), con una mancha negra en la cabeza, y otra en el noroeste de África, desde el norte de Marruecos al norte de Libia, (P. c. ultramarinus), con la espalda o manto azul.
50/365 - Pennyroyal Tea - Nirvana
My express weekend is almost over.
I've to drive back to Toulouse cause the courses starts early on Monday.
Loic called me to go to the cinema with Laurine at 7.45PM in the center of Toulouse.
I just had the time to take a shower, pack my things and set up the scene for today's shot before jumping in my car and hit the road to be on time !
This shot is a school project I have to do for my photographic course on thursday.
This week theme is "Tea or Coffee" and that was my feeling about this subject.
I had to shot it before living Bordeaux because I've no cups or coffee maker at my place whereas my mother has all I need.
It's cool to get some help from my parents !
Thanks to her for dropping the tea ball perfectly with a nice splash.
I'm happy to quote lyrics from a such beautiful song, I really love the MTV unplugged album and this song fits perfectly with the scene.

Hoy con nuestro agradecimiento a Bárbara Barrera por su precioso artículo sobre diatomeas en la revista Vidriooh!
Artículo LA BIODIVERSIDAD OCULTA
Spirostomum es un ciliado bastante común en aguas poco oxigenadas y cargadas de materia orgánica. Corre como un cordón que cose los grumos de sedimento con suavidad, en movimientos armónicos, de avance y retroceso, de giro y de movimientos de trayectoria recta. Se desliza con facilidad tanto en los lugares despejados como en aquellos en los que encuentra obstáculos que no lo son para él.
En Spirostomum minus la boca se abre de costado desde un extremo del cuerpo de cinta hasta un poco menos de la mitad, lo suficiente para barrer el agua con amplitud y recoger de ella los frutos que le servirán de alimento, que podrán ser casi cualquier cosa.
Spirostomum minus es dentro del grupo de sus hermanos uno de los más pequeños y con un núcleo alargado construido por pequeñas esferas donde se aloja el material genético. Es la segunda vez que se asoma por la galería, en este caso, jugando también, como Rotaria a unos malabares con Trachelomonas …y es que estos seres del agua casi son como niños y siempre que ven una pelota corren detrás de ella para jugar.
Spirostomum minus es también ciliado de aguas muy eutrofizadas. En ellas encuentra no sólo su alimento, parece que también su diversión. El de hoy procede de una muestra recogida por Raquel Posada en una pequeña charca de Villanueva de Gozón, en las cercanías de los impresionantes acantilados del Cabo Peñas de Asturias y se ha fotografiado a 200 aumentos utilizando la técnica de contraste de interferencia.

Henri Scheen, geb. Roermond 29-1-1842, ovl. Roermond 3-3-1920, neef van de vermaarde architect Pierre Cuypers:
"Uit Maastricht meldt men, dat de Minderbroeders die de gelofte van kuischheid en armoede moeten doen, aldaar een prachtig klooster hebben bekomen, dat welligt f. 300.000 kost. Thans wordt er op de goederen van de familie de Valenstar een klooster gebouwd met 70 cellen, voor de uit Italië en Frankrijk verjaagde Jezuïten. Men vraagt op het boekwerk van den heer Van Hugenpoth en het later door de Regering voorgeschreven onderzoek naar de uitbreiding van de kloosterbouw, tot niets zullen leiden?".

So I am walking through this abandoned hotel with Jen and Smack. I drop behind to shoot in one of the guest rooms and they continue on. As I go to catch up I find a room packed full with beds still in their plastic sheets, pillows, soap, shampoo. vacums, etc... Then it hits me - this room smells like death. Not overpowering, but just enough to make you stand up and notice - like driving down the road with the windows open, past a very ripe carcass on the roadside. I look around - nothing. As I'm leaving the room I start to hear it...this monstrous buzzing noise, coming from behind a door left ajar. I kick it open and the light comes streaming in - and there half hidden beneath the stairs - was this. Not sure if it was wounded by a hunter, or naturally curled up there - but it was nature at it's most primeval.
And a reminder - everything is from the Earth, and returns to it in one way or the other.
Please watch one of my favorite videos of all time.
Madrid (Spain).
ENGLISH
The Jardines del Buen Retiro or Parque del Buen Retiro (literally "Gardens" or "Park of the Pleasant Retreat"), or simply El Retiro, the "Lungs of Madrid", is the main park of the city of Madrid, capital of Spain.
The Parque del Buen Retiro is a large and popular 1.4 km² (350-acre) park at the edge of the city center, very close to the Puerta de Alcalá and not far from the Museo del Prado. A magnificent park, filled with beautiful sculpture and monuments, galleries, a peaceful lake and host to a variety of events, it is one of Madrid's premier attractions. The park is entirely surrounded by the present-day city.
In 1505, at the time of Isabella I (r. 1474–1504) the Monasterio de Jerónimos was moved from an unsuitable location elsewhere to the present site of Iglesia de San Jerónimo el Real, and a new monastery built in Isabelline Gothic style. The royal family had a retreat built as part of the church.
King Philip II (r. 1556–1598) moved the Spanish court to Madrid in 1561. Philip had the Retiro enlarged by his architect Juan Bautista de Toledo, and formal avenues of trees were laid out. Here, at the Palacio del Buen Retiro, the king could withdraw during Lent, bringing the court with him.
The "Jardines del Buen Retiro" were extended in the 1620s, when Gaspar de Guzmán, Count-Duke of Olivares, Philip IV's powerful favourite, gave the king several tracts of land in the vicinity for the Court's recreational use. Olivares determined to build, in a place that the king liked, a royal house which should be superior to those villas that Roman nobles had lately been setting up in the hillyt outskirts of Rome. Although this second royal residence was to be built in what were then outlying areas of Madrid, it was actually not far from the existing Alcázar or fortress residence, and the location in a cool, wooded area proved to be ideal.

CASTELLANO
Los Jardines del Buen Retiro, popularmente conocidos como El Retiro, son un parque de 118 hectáreas situado en Madrid. Es uno de los lugares más significativos de la capital española.
Los Jardines tienen su origen entre los años 1630 y 1640, cuando el Conde-Duque de Olivares (Don Gaspar de Guzmán y Pimentel), valido de Felipe IV (1621–1665), le regaló al rey unos terrenos que le habían sido cedidos por el Duque de Fernán Núñez para el recreo de la Corte en torno al Monasterio de los Jerónimos de Madrid. Así, con la reforma del Cuarto Real que había junto al Monasterio, se inició la construcción del Palacio del Buen Retiro. Contaba entonces con unas 145 hectáreas. Aunque esta segunda residencia real iba a estar en lo que en aquellos tiempos eran las afueras de la villa de Madrid, no estaba excesivamente lejos del alcázar y resultó ser un lugar muy agradable por estar en una zona muy boscosa y fresca.
Bajo la dirección de los arquitectos Giovanni Battista Crescenzi y Alonso Carbonell se construyeron diversos edificios, entre ellos el teatro del Buen Retiro que acogió representaciones teatrales de los grandes del Siglo de Oro, Calderón de la Barca y Lope de Vega. Perduran aún el Casón del Buen Retiro, antiguo Salón de Baile, el Museo del Ejército, antaño Salón de Reinos con sus paredes decoradas con pinturas de Velázquez, Zurbarán y frescos de Lucas Jordán y los jardines.
Éstos se levantaron al mismo tiempo que el palacio, trabajando en ellos, entre otros, Cosme Lotti, escenógrafo del Gran Duque de Toscana, y edificándose una leonera para la exhibición de animales salvajes y una pajarera para aves exóticas. El estanque grande, escenario de naumaquias y espectáculos acuáticos, el estanque ochavado o de las campanillas y la ría chica pertenecen a este período inicial.
A lo largo de la historia, en este conjunto se han ido efectuando modificaciones, no siempre planificadas, que cambiaron la fisonomía del jardín, como el Parterre diseñado durante el reinado de Felipe V (1700–1746), la Real Fábrica de Porcelana del Buen Retiro en tiempos de Carlos III (1759–1788) o el Observatorio Astronómico, obra de Juan de Villanueva, reinando Carlos IV (1788–1808). El rey Carlos III fue el primero en permitir el acceso de los ciudadanos al recinto, siempre que cumpliesen con la condición de ir bien aseados y vestidos.

Rupit, Barcelona (Spain).
ENGLISH
Rupit and Pruit (in Catalan Rupit i Pruit) are a municipality of the region of Osona located to the northeast of the region and the east of the Sierra de Cabrera. It is integrated by two urban nuclei: Rupit and Pruit, that they were independent until year 1980. It is the last town of the province of Barcelona in the highway that unites the municipalities of Vic, capital of the region of Osona and Olot, capital of the region of the Garrotxa (Girona).
The origin of the town we found in the castle that was constructed around year 1000, replacing the one of Fàbregues, where they went constructing houses around.
In 14th century the population underwent a reduction but it recovered, arriving in 17th and 18th centuries at the maximum splendor that has never had the town. The church was possibly built between 13th and 14th centuries, and it was dedicated to San Miguel Arcángel.
Pruit already names in year 955, when it belonged to viscounts of Osona. Always there is been united to the castle and jurisdiction of Rupit.

Mentre Prometeo giaceva incatenato alla montagna e subiva il castigo dell'aquila, Zeus meditava una punizione anche per gli uomini che Prometeo così stoltamente aveva aiutato.
Chiese a suo figlio Efesto di costruire un essere ad immagine e somiglianza delle dee olimpiche, da regalare agli uomini.
Venne così creata la donna, che tutti gli dei coprirono di regali: Afrodite le donò la bellezza, Hermes la curiosità, Era la capacità di generare figli agli uomini e così via. Per questo Zeus la chiamò Pandora, ovvero "Tutti i doni" e le donò uno strano vaso chiuso, proibendole di aprirlo.
Pandora venne portata al cospetto di Epimeteo -titano fratello di Prometeo- da Hermes, che la presentò come un dono di Zeus Olimpo agli uomini. Epimeteo subito se ne innamorò e la prese in sposa.
Passarono gli anni e Pandora era sempre morsa dalla curiosità di sapere che cosa Zeus avesse riposto dentro quel vaso così ben chiuso. Spesso lo prendeva in mano ma poi lo posava, seppur a malincuore, ricordando i consigli del Re degli Dei.
Un giorno Pandora prese il vaso, corrosa da una curiosità isterica, e forzò il coperchio con forza. Di colpo si staccò e il vaso si illuminò: venne percorso da un tremolìo e con un grido, Pandora lo allontanò dal suo viso. Cominciò ad uscire un fumo acre e denso, accompagnato da un terrificante rombo di tuono. Tra le volute nere come l'abisso si intravedevano facce sfigurate e urlanti: erano tutti i mali del mondo che Zeus aveva rinchiuso nel vaso affinchè non colpissero gli uomini. Un castigo terribile ma Zeus, nella sua lungimiranza, aveva chiuso nel vaso anche la Speranza, che da quel momento dà coraggio e forza all'uomo e gli permette di affrontare i mali della vita.
The property now known as Tanglewood Park was part of land claimed by Sir Walter Raleigh for Queen Elizabeth on March 25, 1584. Among the earliest European settlers of the Yadkin River Valley was William Johnson, an immigrant from Wales. In 1757, just four years after the Moravian settlement of the Wachovia Tract in the nearby communities of Bethabara and Salem, Johnson purchased the mile square central portion of the present property from the Ellis family to whom the land was deeded in 1753 by Lord William Linville. The Ellis family leased the land for a short time "for five shillings lawful money of Great Britain in hand a yearly rent of one peppercorn payment at he Feast of Saint Michael, the archangel". After obtaining the property, Johnson built a fort overlooking the Yadkin River to protect his family and neighbors from attacks during the French and Indian War. Currently, this spot is marked by a monument just south of the Manor House. In 1765, he died and is now buried on the highest hill in the area called Mount Pleasant. In 1809 a simple frame church was erected next to his grave and remains today as one of the park’s architectural attractions. Although services are no longer held there, many people are united in marriage at the Mount Pleasant Church each year.
In 1859, James Johnson had the 18 room Manor House built on a hill in the center of the estate. The house was a gift of love to his daughter, Emily, for a wedding present. Two wings were added later.
The Johnson heirs sold their property in 1921 to William Neal Reynolds, brother of tobacco entrepreneur R. J. Reynolds. At that time the Tanglewood tract was enlarged to over 1,100 acres (4.5 km2) and the Manor House expanded to 28 rooms. Mr. Will, as he was called, raised and raced thoroughbred harness horses and established Tanglewood Farm as a home to some of the country’s finest pacers. In the Manor House, Mr. Will had a special room dedicated to his trophy’s, called the "Trophy Room." A fire that started mysteriously in a trophy room display case in 1980 did considerable damage, but the room has been restored. The room is surrounded by plaques and horse photographs. It is obvious that Mr. Will was a horse lover, and this tradition is carried on with Tanglewood Farm. Trail rides, hayrides, and carriage rides are available by reservation.
Today, the Manor House is a Bed & Breakfast Inn with 10 guest rooms, sweeping staircases, the Trophy Room, 20’s Room, and Rock Fireplace Room. These facilities are used for weddings, meetings, and overnight accommodations.
Mr. Will’s wife, Kate, a horticultural enthusiast, began the extensive native and ornamental plantings at Tanglewood and employed German master gardener, Mr. Frank Lustig, who continued her plans and his life’s work. He contributed the 800 bush Rose Garden on the Manor House lawn, the Arboretum behind the house, and the nearby Fragrance Garden to the estate. For 60 years, even after the death of his employers, and their gift of the estate, Lustig poured his talents into Tanglewood. He is buried in the graveyard at Tanglewood next to the historic church. The Reynolds couple had no children, and, as a gesture enabling others to benefit from the beauty, elegance, history, and recreation their country estate had to offer, in 1951, they willed the Tanglewood property to the citizens of Forsyth County to share as a public recreational park. Thus, Tanglewood Park was born. The facility is owned by Forsyth County. [wikipedia]

No... it's NOT the London Bridge
Saturday was just too hectic - spent the day catching up on my pp, doing the big Christmas shop (stocking up) and then cleaning and arranging getting ready for Xmas. End of the day I was too tired to take a shot so I am using one of the shots I took the previous night (Day 195).
This is the Tower Bridge in London. For those outside of UK, this is actually not the London Bridge which is referred to in the children's rhyme. This one is closer to the Tower of London from which it gets its name.
I wanted to get some trailing lights on the bridge from a bus but waiting out in the cold was too difficult for me. I did get a trailing bus and trailing boat in 2 different shots so combined them in to one. Both "trails" are not defined enough because the exposures was too long but I was not hanging around in the freezing cold to get it perfect!

Psalm 139 (King James Version)
O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Really that's all it is. Another from Barber Mill in Georgetown.
I was going to do a good-bye Flickr shot, but the Potato really has a problem with those - and he already hates me, so I gave up that idea.
But, I do want to say that I won't be around for a little while .... I'm doing a little tour through SE Asia (after 26 hours of travel time *sob*) and even though I am sure I will be shooting a ton, I doubt I'll have much time for processing, comments and posting.
Enjoy the winter while I'm in Bali (and Thailand/Vietnam/Hong Kong) Canada. ;)

Intha weaver at work in a village on Lake Inle.
The Intha
The dominant ethnicity of Lake Inle are the Intha, meaning sons of the lake. They are thought to have arrived from the Tavoy region of Southern Burma many centuries ago, and are linguistically related to the Bamar group. Today they speak an antiquated Burmese and are Buddhist.
The Intha live in bamboo houses built over the water on stilts and grow vegetables and fruit hydroponically on floating gardens that rise and fall with the tidesthus giving rise to the perception of 'floating villages'. The fertile water ensures an abundant harvest which get sold on 'floating markets' where goods are traded from one boat to another. The itinerary follows a five day cycle, rotating between the five larger villages on Lake Inle.
Most transport is by flat bottom canoes, propelled by a particular rowing style where the rower stands on one leg on the flattened stern of the canoe and wrapping the other around a long oar. The standing rowing method evolved to enable rowers to see over the tall reeds. Nevertheless the women row seated, eventhough they are equally adept at the standing style.
The Intha are best known for their unique fishing method, which is an extension of the rowing style, using a cone shaped bamboo framed wrapped with a fishing net, which is lowered to the bottom of the shallow Lake Inle with one hand and one foot. A bamboo stake is then driven into the net to agitate the water and drive the fish up. The net is then closed and the entire contraption is raised from the water.
The Intha should also be noted as weavers, producing the lotus cloth unique to the area, and worn by monks as ceremonial robes. They are best known however for creating traditional distinctive cotton cloth, the Inle Longyi. The patterns were originally Cambodian inspired, but now also drive from Thai and Indonesian influences. Silk brought in from China and Thailand are also used for more luxurious textiles, which are sold to tourists.
Lake Inle
Lake Inle is a freshwater lake of around 115square kilometers in Myanmar's Shan State located at an altitude of 880 meters. The lake is very shallow reaching no more than 2 or 3 meters depending on the season.
The lake is a tourist attraction for its images of the fishermen and their flat bottom canoes on mirror still water, as well as the the floating villages and markets. Time of course never stands still, and larger motor powered boats have made their way onto the lake, mainly as tourist transport, causing wakes that never existed before, while the market increasingly caters for tourist souvenirs. However given the political situation, tourism is still limited in Myanmar, but a number of very high quality lodges have sprung up along the lake shores.
Shan State
Shan State forms Myanmar's border with China, Laos and Thailand, and encompasses a quarter of Myanmar's total territory. Shan State derives its name from the local Shan people, who live largely rural lifestyles.
From the 1948 Myanmar independence, Chinese state and ethnic activity has increased, as have armed rebellions fueled by the emergence of war lords, who developed Shan State into a major opium growing area. Accordingly, the state is better known as the Golden Triangle or Shwe-Tri Gan and to this day, Myanmar is the world's second largest opium producer after Afghanistan, whilst the local people growing poppy continue to live below the poverty line. Heroin base is mostly produced within Myanmar and then transported by donkey across the mountainous Thailand border for conversion to heroin and transport to Bangkok and wider trafficking.
The heavily armed insurgence groups, including the 20,000 strong United Wa State Army (UWSA) that represent an undefined independent Wa State which would enclose Shan State, still render the zone unstable. The Wa people openly use the Yuan as currency, as opposed to the Myanmar Kyat, and in 2008 parts of Shan State were ceded autonomy.
Myanmar
Burma, or Myanmar as it has been renamed by the military dictatorship, derives its name from the Burmese word Bamar, which is pronounced 'Bama', and became 'Burma' in the colonial days. However in old Burmese it is pronounced Mranma or Myanmah, thus giving rise to Myanmar. The renaming remains the subject of debate, where the UN refers to 'Myanmar', the US, UK and France still refer to 'Burma', and yet the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal refer to 'Myanmar'. We've followed the UN and used current naming throughout this collection of photos, however with the alternatives included in the tags.
sono ritornati finalmente in Sicilia i 16 splendidi oggetti di argento dorato conosciuti come "Gli argenti di Morgantina" risalenti al III secolo A.C. -
furono trafugati dai tombaroli intorno al 1980 dalla lussuosa casa di Eupolemos a Morgantina, una antica città siculo greca, sito archeologico nel comune di Aidone (EN) in Sicilia - successivamente furono venduti da un trafficante d’arte al Metropolitan Museum of Art di New York e sulla base di una accordo con il Ministero dei Beni Culturali sono stati da poco restituiti alla Regione Sicilia e si possono ora ammirare in un bella mostra al Museo Archeologico Salinas di Palermo

Con sus dos largos brazos de hilo la verde Eutreptia se abre paso en los caminos del agua, a veces despejados como un cielo limpio y en otras ocasiones salpìcados de diminutos viajeros como ella que buscan para vivir una pequeña ventana a la luz del sol.
Eutreptia es un flagelado primo hermano de Euglena, que adopta forma de cometa cuando puede nadar libre en la inmensidad de cualquier gota de agua, su prolongada cola estabiliza la tortuosa navegación que le imponen sus dos largos flagelos y de este modo, avanza sin contratiempos enhebrando su silueta de pez entre las corrientes de agua.
El interior de Eutreptia está cargado de pequeños cloroplastos discoidales que apenas tienen espacio para moverse dentro de su cuerpo y que no caben en la estrecha cola-timón de este flagelado viajero. Eutreptia está vestida con una fina y plástica membrana transparente elegantemente adornada por unas delicadísimas estrías paralelas casi invisibles. Esta película que recubre su cuerpo como una ajustada camisa, igual que la de algunas especies de Euglena, Distigma o Astasia permite el cambio de forma y la completa transformación de sus aspecto.
Los dos largos flagelos de Eutreptia ondulan y parecen trenzarse para deshacerse después en sus movimientos rizados, pero cuando tropiezan con algún obstáculo como marañas de algas o redes de diatomeas, se desacompasan al mismo tiempo que Eutreptia se altera y sus contornos de comenta se revuelven hasta transformarse mágicamente en los de un globo.
Eutreptia, como Euglena, es ser misterioso de vida animal y vegetal al mismo tiempo, una pequeña mancha ocular de color rojizo constituye su ojo de cíclope que sólo ve la luz
La especie que mostramos hoy, probablemente Eutreptia viridis puede vivir en aguas dulces, como éstas de las que procede y es capaz de soportar una notable carga de materia orgánica. Se trata de un hallazgo singular, del que no tenemos constancia de citas precedentes en la Península Ibérica - las únicas conocidas del continente europeo proceden de Gran Bretaña y Rumanía - y tan solo se ha constatado su presencia en otros continentes a partir de tres citas, una en Brasil, otra en China y la tercera de Australia.
Eutreptia ha sido fotografiada a 400 aumentos con la técncia de contraste de interferencia a partir de una muestra recogida a 3 metros de profundidad en el Lago de Sanabria (Zamora), desde el catamarán Helios Sanabria el primer catamarán construido en el Planeta propulsado por energía eólica y solar.
I've said this before but this summer here in Mississauga has gotta be the Red Admiral summer..I see these beauties everywhere I go..so many of them..around..Too beautiful NOT to photograph again and again and again lol :) Hope you aren't bored with seeing them..I'm not bored shooting them yet lol sorries.
"The red admiral butterfly belongs to the vanessid group of butterflies. They are among the largest and most colorful butterflies that inhabit the northern temperate regions of the world. Vanessa butterflies are found throughout much of the world. Besides the red admiral butterfly, this group includes the tortoiseshell, painted lady, peacock, Camberwell beauty, and comma butterflies."
"This large butterfly is identified by its striking dark brown, red and black wing pattern. More specifically, the dark wings possess orange bands that cross the fore wings and on the outer edge of the hind wings; white spots on the dorsal fore wings near the front margin; reddish bars on dorsal surface of all four wings."
"The common name "Red Admiral" compares this band to the chevrons on a naval uniform."
ENJOY!! :) Best viewed LARGE
Its incredible how FAST the butterflies are.. Shot at 1/750s and still the motion blur...this is not camera shake (evident with the bottom left flower sharpness!)
WOW.. getting motion blur at such speed just shows how the butterflies take off and why its so hard to photograph them IN-FLIGHT!
I tried to catch the butterflies in flight literally dozens of times during this vacation... but this is the only one i have with me to showcase!

Cephalodella es un rotífero de pequeño tamaño y generalmente gran cabeza, y está representado por cerca de 190 especies que se reparten por las aguas de todo el Planeta.
La corona de Cephalodella se dispone oblicua con respecto al eje del cuerpo de este rotífero y es muy discreta si la comparamos por su tamaño con las de otros géneros más o menos próximos como Philodina o Ptygura. Su corto pie está formado por dos dedos alargados en forma de espina con los que se ancla a las algas o a los grumos de sedimento desde donde filtra el agua.
El género Cephalodella pertenece a un grupo de complicado reconocimiento. Las características de cada una de las especies, con frecuencia resultan difíciles de observar...y más todavía en ejemplares vivos. La cabeza de este rotífero es ancha y su aparato masticador puede presentar hasta seis formas diferentes.
Cephalodella tiene solo un pequeño ojo situado en la frente, otras veces, desplazado un poco hacia atrás se dispone en la “nuca”.
Hoy Cephalodella se ha asentado en un mullido colchón de sedimento y se dedica a bascular filtrando el agua y en este balanceo va recogiendo las pequeñas algas y otros diminutos organismos que le sirven de alimento.
La fotografía se ha tomado a 400 aumentos empleando la técnica de contraste de interferencia sobre una muestra recogida hace unas semanas en una laguna próxima a la localidad zamorana de Ricobayo

From www.artic.edu/artexplorer/search.php?tab=2&resource=340 :
Paul Gauguin's life rivals that of Vincent van Gogh as the stuff of legend. In 1883, he left his job as a stockbroker and, eventually, his wife and five children to take up a nomadic, often impoverished, existence as a full-time painter. His "escape" from civilization included increasingly prolonged stays in such exotic places as Martinique, Tahiti, and finally the Marquesas Islands, where he died in 1903. While still a stockbroker, Gauguin had assembled a pioneering collection of Impressionist paintings, among them five or six canvases by Paul Cézanne. His favorite was apparently the still life partly visible in this picture, known as Fruit Bowl, Glass, and Apple of 1879/80.
In this densely composed painting, Gauguin pays tribute to Cézanne not only by including one of his works in the background but also by emulating Cézanne's manner throughout the picture. In many areas of the portrait, especially the dress and hand, Gauguin adopts the rhythmic, parallel, patchy brushstrokes typical of the older artist. Cezanne's influence also seems apparent in the laborious, tightly woven construction of the composition, in which the woman's head seems almost embedded in the still life. An X-ray examination of this painting has revealed that Gauguin did indeed labor over many of its details, from the position of the woman in the chair—she was originally seated further back—to the relationship of her hands, which were at one point clasped in her lap, somewhat in the manner of existing portraits by Cézanne of his wife.
Gauguin's own personality is most evident here in the emphasis on rich harmonies of closely related colors (the picture is dominated by blue and its derivatives, purple and violet) and on the fluid outlines of the forms of the chair and woman's dress. This self-conscious orchestration of colors and forms became even more evident in Gauguin's later works, in accordance with his belief that lines and colors, in a manner closely akin to music, carry intrinsic expressive qualities, independent of naturalistic objectives. Gauguin was also one of the first to turn to a wide variety of non-Western sources for inspiration in his effort to imbue painting with renewed mystery and to forge alternatives to naturalism. Some of the flatness and linear emphasis in this portrait reflects Gauguin's interest in Japanese prints. Ironically, it is because of this quality that Cézanne once disparagingly referred to Gauguin's works as "Chinese images."
The identity of the sitter of this portrait has long been debated and still remains uncertain. The picture was once thought to have been completed in Brittany, but it has since been suggested that it may instead have been painted after Gauguin's return to Paris in November of 1890 during his stay with Emile Schuffenecker, a close friend and supporter. This hypothesis finds support in the characteristics of the woman portrayed. With her elongated, refined hands and cinched waist, she seems more like a city dweller than one of the earthy peasant women found in Gauguin's Breton canvases.

Been here a few times never happy due to the light and sky until today worth the £6 entrance fee as the gardens and flowers looked amazing.Think my job is done at this amazing location ;-)
An ancient site dating back to the 7th century was originally owned by the church but later acquired by the Button family in the 16th century. The name was changed to Dyffryn St. Thomas when the estate was sold to Thomas Pryce, who built the first building to be known as Dyffryn House. John Cory bought the estate in 1891 and built the present house two years later. He later commissioned Thomas Mawson to landscape the gardens to complement his magnificent house. After John Cory's death in 1910, his third son, Reginald, a keen horticulturalist and leading figure in the RHS, developed the gardens and arboretum notably through his joint sponsorship of several plant hunting expeditions. The most remarkable of the results of this is the Paper Bark Maple, Acer griseum, which was grown from seed brought back from China by Ernest Wilson.
After Reginald Cory's death in 1934, the estate went to his daughter Florence who died just two years later. It was then bought by Sir Cennydd Traherne who leased it in 1939 to Glamorgan County Council on a 999 year lease. The Grade I listed gardens are being restored in two phases with grants from the Heritage Lottery Fund. The first phase is for £3.25 million and the second for £2.9 million.

This is the Bagdad Cafe on Route 66 in Newberry Springs, California. The car out front belongs to my friends Hans and Jonas Hannsson of Malmo, Sweden, and is a Volvo PV they customized themselves into the hot rod convertible you see here. They temporarily imported this car for a long wished for trip across the U.S. on Route 66. They had a wonderful time!
The original photo was taken by Jonas Hansson, and 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, then my Photoshop filter "Fractalius" to turn it into a digital painting/drawing.
Below is a link to Hans and Jonas' blog about their historic trip:

INFORMATION ON THE BAGDAD CAFE:
Bagdad Cafe, a movie centering on old Route 66, was filmed in the Newberry Springs area. The Bagdad Cafe located in Newberry Springs is not the original Bagdad Cafe, the original cafe was located in the town of Bagdad between Amboy and Ludlow on old Route 66. Nothing remains of the old cafe in Bagdad. The Newberry Springs cafe is a Route 66 survivor though and was once known as the Sidewinder Cafe. After the movie was filmed here the name Bagdad Cafe just seemed to stick. It is open for business today serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you are coming through the area I would recommend stopping here. Say hi to Andrea Pruett, the proprietor, while you're at it. She has done a great job of keeping the Bagdad Cafe alive for all us Mother Road fans. If you're lucky, maybe General Bob will show up and entertain you with his colorful stories from the past! The nearest large town to the Cafe is Barstow. You'll find the Bagdad Cafe between the east and west off-ramps of I-40, at Newberry Springs, east of Barstow
INFORMATION ON NEWBERRY SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA:
The area around Newberry Springs has been a source of water in the arid Mojave Desert since the earliest days. The site of Camp Cady is located a few miles from present day Newberry Springs, and was a resting place and watering hole along the Mojave River for wagon trains coming to California in the 1850's on the old Mormon Trail. In the 1880's the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad hauled tank cars of water from Newberry Springs to the stations and towns in the area making life in this arid land possible.

oh, and which should I make my 365? this or my previous post?
"I never found my wonderland,
I never fell through the looking glass.
In the mirror, all I see are vacant eyes,
past longing for a safe abode,
simply hoping for better than this.
this colorless wasteland I'm mired in.
tired of being burnt by this consuming flame,
I just want out. out. out."

Cuesta no pensar que la cantidad de filtraciones e información alrededor de la próxima película de Star Wars no le esté viniendo bien a Disney tras la controvertida compra de los estudios LucasArts por parte de este gigante y el anuncio a los pocos días de que se ponía en marcha el proyecto para tener más Star Wars de la mano de Disney.
Queda todavía más de un año para que llegue, pero la expectación es máxima alrededor de todo lo que tiene que ver con Star Wars Episodio 7. Aquí te dejamos con lo principal que se conoce hasta ahora para que vayas abriendo boca.
La historia
Lógicamente, la historia es el secreto mejor guardado de la nueva entrega de Star Wars. Lo único que se conoce con certeza es el momento temporal en que transcurrirá la película: 30 años después de los acontecimientos del episodio anterior, “El Retorno del Jedi”.
Ya entrando en el terreno de los rumores y especulaciones, el inicio de la película estaría protagonizado por una mano, concretamente la de Luke Skywalker, flotando por el espacio sujetando su sable láser.
Al encontrarla en un desierto, los protagonistas de la nueva entrega (se habla de un trío que incluye a un adolescente o niño), ayudados por Han Solo y Chewbacca, iniciarían la búsqueda de Luke, del que nadie sabe nada desde hace 30 años. ¿Adivináis donde estaba? Justo, cautivo por los nuevos malos de la película.
De los pocos detalles con interés que ha dejado caer Abrams sobre el Episodio VI está el uso de menos efectos especiales generados por ordenador, no al menos al nivel de los primeros tres episodios (tras la trilogía original).
Lo único seguro sobre la historia de Star Wars Episodio VII es que transcurrirá 30 años después de “El Retorno del Jedi”
Episodio VII, que no tiene todavía título oficial definitivo, empezó a rodarse en mayo de este año en los estudios Pinewood de Londres. Del éxito de esta primera parte de la siguiente trilogía (cada película irá separada de la otra con un spin off de los principales protagonistas) dependerá la acogida de las siguientes, aunque solo con el nombre y la legión de fans y seguidores, el ruido está garantizado.
El director y equipo técnico
Tener entre las manos las nuevas entregas de Star Wars no es tarea sencilla. La especulación con los posibles directores de los tres siguientes episodios de la saga galáctica se cortó con el anuncio de que J.J. Abrams (responsable de Star Trek o Misión Imposible II y muy prolífico en televisión) sería el director de la orquesta de responsables que Disney iba a poner delante de este esperado retorno de la famosa saga galáctica.
El propio Adams junto con Lawrence Kasdan (responsable El Retorno del Jedi y El Imperio Contraataca) será el guionista (tras un paso en falso con Michael Arndt) de esta producción que cuenta con otros importantes nombres detrás de los apartados de producción, como Tommy Harper, Jack Ryan o Jason McGatlin, todos ellos con mucha experiencia en grandes superproducciones.
Star Wars Episodio VII se rodará en 35 mm, una decisión de su director de fotografía, Dan Mindel. El diseñador de vestuario será otro conocido: Michael Kaplan.
De la música, parte para mi fundamental e histórica de los primeros episodios, se ha conseguido que se encargue el maestro jedi con batura que es John Williams.
El reparto
Tras decidir el director y parte del equipo técnico, el reparto generó bastantes especulaciones hasta que se produjo el anuncio oficial. Con Han Solo apareciendo en el desarrollo del argumento de la nueva entrega, era lógico que por allí apareciera Harrison Ford.
Que el grueso del reparto original vaya a tener presencia en el Episodio VII es un claro guiño a los seguidores y una atracción más para acudir a ver la película
El Han Solo de más de 70 años estará acompañado por los otros dos actores principales de las películas originales: Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) y Carrie Fisher (Princesa Leia). Y no faltarán Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) o los entrañables actores Anthony Daniels y Kenny Baker en sus papeles de C-3PO y RD-D2 respectivamente. Esta vuelta al pasado es sin duda un seguro que Disney ata para tener el apoyo, el menos moral, de parte de los fans de la saga original.
Entre las nuevas caras, hay tanto veteranos como rostros conocidos del cine y la televisión de los últimos años. Como protagonistas principales tendremos a los actores John Boyega y Daisy Ridley, que compartirán aventuras con, entre otros, Adam Driver, Lupita Nyongo, Oscar Isaac, Max von Sydow y Andy Serkis.
La “famosa” foto con la que se anunció el reparto principal de Star Wars Episodio VII
La anécdota relacionada con el reparto e inicio de la grabación tiene a Ford como protagonista. Un mes después de iniciarse el rodaje en mayo de este año, Harrison Ford se rompió un tobillo, cosas del destino, con una puerta de su Halcón Milenario. La grabación tuvo de detenerse y esta misma semana se ha reanudado el trabajo el ritmo habitual, que tendrá lugar en localizaciones de Islandia y Emiratos Árabes además del Reino Unido.
Fecha del estreno
Llevamos ya un largo periplo alrededor de Star Wars Episodio 7, pero todavía nos queda un buen trecho por recorrer.
La fecha de estreno anunciada, el 18 de diciembre de 2015, se va a mantener pese a que estuvo en teoría en peligro por el accidente de un Ford que parece mayor para luchar en esta guerra.

"The house looked as though it would be more fun to sketch than to live in, which isn't surprising, as it was built by an artist who had married one of his models". Junichiro Tanizaki, A fool's love (trans. by Anthony H. Chambers)
谷崎潤一郎の家の蝉の声.
Monse at the entrance of the rented house in Kobe's Higashi Nada ward where Tanizaki Jun'ichirô lived for two years beginning in 1924. It was the first day that year (2005) we heard the cicadas, but only there in Tanizaki's house: they went out to the rest of Japan many days after. The house served as model for the one described in Chijin no ai (A Fool's Love) and is often referred to as "Naomi's House". We visited it less than a year before its destruction this April. Now it will be relocated, most likely in the same park in Higashi Nada where Tanizaki's famous self-designed house (destroyed in the 1995 Kobe Earthquake) is currently being reconstructed.

A bit of beauty and the beast going on in my stream with a cage fighter photo going in amongst the girls.
Well, on Saturday I was doing my usuals at the cage event and standing by the door of the cage as these two rather burly guys were giving it the beans. I saw them heading towards me and was thinking this would make a good photo when all of a sudden the door flew open with the two fighters following.
So now I'm sporting a nice blackeye (courtesy of my camera), a big bruise on my right foot and a very sore right elbow and hand.
Fortunately, my camera and lens seem fine (this was the very same lens that fell on the floor a couple of weeks ago too so it's had a good durability test).
Location: Southern End of the Maidan, Calcutta
Period of construction: 1839-1847
Dedicated to: St. Paul
Calcutta St. Paul's Cathedral is the first Episcopal Church of the Orient. Bishop Wilson patronized the construction of this beautiful church in 1839. The credit for the awesome designing of this Indo-Gothic architecture goes to Major W.N. Forbes. The work of establishing the St. Paul Cathedral of Kolkata, India was completed in 1847. It is situated at the southern end of the Maidan. The church was destroyed due to the earthquake of 1897 and then it was renovated. But, the earthquake of 1934 led to the collapse of the tower and eventually it was rebuilt on the lines of the Bell Harry Tower of Canterbury Cathedral. It is 247 ft. in length and 81 ft. in width. The main hall of the cathedral is very large containing splendid carved wooden pews and chairs. Its eastern walls are covered with intricate colorful artwork. The beautiful pictures describe the life and works of Saint Paul. The atmosphere of this cathedral is very tranquil. The architecture and the interim of the Saint Paul Cathedral is truly a feast for eyes.
