TRAMWAY BUILDING (Teatro Hotel)
1100 14th St.
National Register 1/5/1978, 5DV.140
The 1911 red brick office building and attached streetcar barn served as the headquarters of the city’s public transportation system until its purchase by the City of Denver in 1971. The prolific architectural firm of William E. and Arthur A. Fisher designed the three-part vertical block type structure with its striking white terra cotta accents. The property is associated with the Historic Resources of Downtown Denver Multiple Property Submission.
The Denver Tramway building was built in 1911 and held the city's public transportation system offices and attached street-car barn until 1971. The structure was designed by the firm of Fisher & Fisher and restored in the 1990s and is now home to the upscale Hotel Teatro.
The operation of Denver’s streetcar system impacted the business district in the first half of the twentieth century. Denver architects William E. and Arthur Fisher designed the 1912 Denver City Tramway Company’s corporate headquarters at1100 14th Street.
The Tramway Company, the major public transportation system of early twentieth century Denver, resulted from the consolidation of earlier street railway firms in 1899, and its route influenced the patterns of development of the city. The eight-story Renaissance Revival style red brick building with white terra-cotta trim had an attached three-story streetcar barn.

My ride's here.
The Glacier Express is a train route through the Swiss Alps that is a functional and practical part of the national railway system, yet is at the same time targeted to sight-seers. The passenger cars have very large panoramic windows, and skylights running down either edge of the roof to make it easier to take in all the tall views the Alps have to offer. There are a few recorded bits of travel-guide-type narrative that play at certain key points of the ride, and they try to sell you guidebooks and other souvenirs on route.
I was sorely tempted to buy a guidebook---I always want to know exactly where I am at any point in any trip, including on planes---but I had bought a 1:250,000 Hallwag atlas at the Basel SBB to try to follow along the old-fashioned way.
The full length of the Glacier Express route is 151 miles long, and takes over seven hours. I opted to take only the central four-hour chunk, whose beginning and end points were closer to the places I had to begin and end my day. Even so, I had a couple of hours worth of train rides on either end of my Glacier Express ride, so I was signed up to spend 11 or 12 hours on trains on this, my last day in Europe.
Pistachio Cookie recipe: www.elise.com/recipes/archives/007330pistachio_white_choc...
Ingredients
1 cup of unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of dark brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
2 tablespoons of milk
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups of flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of kosher salt (regular salt will suffice)
1 cup of rolled oats
1 1/2 cups of coarsely chopped pistachios, raw and unsalted
1 1/2 cups of white chocolate chips
Method
1 Preheat the oven to 350 F. Cream the butter and sugars together on high speed for three minutes.
2 Add the eggs, milk, and vanilla and beat for 3 minutes, being sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
3 In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and rolled oats. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture slowly, being sure to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl once or twice to ensure even mixing.
4 Fold in the pistachios and white chocolate chips. Drop heaping teaspoonfuls onto parchment lined cookie sheets, add an extra pistachio or two on top of each bit of dough for decoration if desired.
5 Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to set up on the cookie sheets before moving to a baking rack to cool completely.
Makes 6 dozen.

Pumpkin Biscotti: www.elise.com/recipes/archives/006111pumpkin_biscotti.php
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups of flour
1 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
Pinch of ginger
Pinch of cloves
Pinch of salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup of pumpkin purée
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Method
1 Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift together the flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, and spices into a large bowl.
2 In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin purée, and vanilla extract. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture. Give it a rough stir to generally incorporate the ingredients, the dough will be crumbly.
3 Flour your hands and a clean kitchen surface and lightly knead the dough. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. Form the dough into a large log, roughly about 15-20 inches by 6-7 inches. The loaves should be relatively flat, only about 1/2 inch high. Bake for 22-30 minutes at 350 F, until the center is firm to the touch. (Feel free to also form two smaller logs for cute two-bite biscotti; just cut the baking time to 18-24 minutes.)
4 Let biscotti cool for 15 minutes and then using a serrated knife cut into 1 inch wide pieces. Turn the oven to 300 F and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes. Cool completely.
Biscotti may be still a tad moist and chewy, so if you prefer it crisp let it sit uncovered overnight in a dry space. Serve and enjoy.
Makes approximately 15 cookies.

I keep trying to get this better... constructive feedback more than welcome! I played in lightroom a bit with split toning trying to get better greens without turning the water green too...
I want to thank Gary Randall for all his encouragement and help, he is a master in the Mt. Hood forest and very inspiring!
These words from an old much faved version of this shot (Waters of Life, seen below) still apply today;
"For all of my life this little waterfall was a stopping place on camping trips along the Forest Road 23 above Trout Lake, Washington... Big Spring Creek, a sweet little place, surrounded by huckleberries and wildflowers... and I would always pour the icy snowmelt and spring water over my head and take a big drink of pure delicious water...
I have slept in my truck beside this falls listening to the music of the earth in all its glory weaving its songs throughout my dreams...
Running up the steep path alongside the fast flowing stream, through the tall trees, is a stimulant of life force like no other... panting for breath in the high altitude while my out of shape heart pounds... but oh so full of LIFE and joy!
THis day the fog was so magical... I had never seen it quite like this before! so mysterious... wonderful!! "

quittant Port-Vendres
20 / 09 / 2010
Je n'étais pas très bien placée, juste eu le temps de me garer rapidement, pas celui d'escalader le talus...
Port-Vendres possède plusieurs ports
* un port de pêche,
* un port de plaisance,
* un port de commerce, principalement fruitier
(il a aussi accueilli des lignes passagers)
[ Le port de commerce
Port continental français le plus proche de l'Afrique du nord, avec des coûts de passage portuaire compétitifs, disposant d'une main d'œuvre fiable et qualifiée et d'installations spécialisées, Port-Vendres bénéficie d'avantages de premier ordre pour établir des lignes de cabotages en Méditerranée et traiter les trafics de fruits et légumes en provenance d'Afrique du nord et d'Amérique du Sud. De plus, la proximité du marché international Saint Charles, première plateforme française de distribution, fait de Port-Vendres le port méditerranéen le mieux placé pour l'entrée des fruits et légumes dans la communauté européenne. Les infrastructures de communications : autoroutes, gare de Perpignan-Roussillon avec un T.G.V " fruits et légumes ", permettent l'acheminement des produits vers les grands centres de consommation dans les délais les plus courts.
Chaque semaine, 3 cargos refrigérés ou porte-conteneurs sont attendus à quai pour débarquer les marchandises (fruits et légumes en provenance du Maroc ou de l'Afrique de l'ouest). Du cœur de ville, on peut voir manœuvrer ces gros navires au milieu du port. Le port de commerce peut accueillir des bateaux longs de 155 mètres et avec un tirant d’eau de 8 mètres. Impressionnant… ! ](extrait du site officiel de Port-Vendres )

El Puente de Manhattan (Manhattan Bridge) es un puente colgante que cruza el río Este en la Ciudad de Nueva York, que conecta al Bajo Manhattan (en la Calle Canal) con Brooklyn (en la Extensión de la Avenida Flatbush) en Long Island. Fue el último de los tres puentes colgantes de la parte baja del Río Este en ser construido, precedido de los puentes de Brooklyn y del Puente de Williamsburg.
El puente fue abierto al tráfico el 31 de diciembre de 1909 y fue diseñado y construido por el ingeniero de puentes polaco Ralph Modjeski con el desvío de cables diseñado por León Moisseiff , que luego diseñó el desconocido Galloping Gertie (el del Puente Angosto de Tacoma que se derrumbó en 1940). Tiene cuatro carriles de vehículos en el nivel superior (divididos entre dos caminos). El nivel inferior tiene tres carriles, cuatro vías del metro, una acera peatonal y una ciclovía. El nivel superior, que originalmente era utilizado para tranvías, cuenta con dos carriles en cada dirección, y el nivel más bajo es de un sólo sentido. Anteriormente la Ruta Estatal de Nueva York 27 pasaba por el puente y después estaba prevista que pasara la Ruta Estatal de Nueva York 478.
No se cobran peajes para los vehículos de motor que utilizan el puente de Manhattan. El camino peatonal original en el lado sur del puente fue reabierto después de sesenta años, en junio de 2001. También fue utilizado por bicicletas hasta finales del verano de 2004, cuando se abrió una ciclo vía en el lado norte del puente.

El principal responsable del proyecto de los telescopios "Magic", Florian Goebel, de 35 años y nacionalidad alemana, falleció el pasado miércoles, sobre las 23:30 horas, tras caer desde unos diez metros de altura, según informaron fuentes de la Guardia Civil y del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC).
Al parecer, la víctima se precipitó al suelo cuando supervisaba las tareas de puesta en marcha del instrumento de observación estelar "Magic-II", situado en el Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, en la isla de La Palma.
Hacia el citado observatorio se desplazó el subdirector del IAC, Carlos Martínez, así como los responsables, por parte de dicha institución científica, del proyecto "Magic".
Según explicó el IAC en un comunicado, Florian Goebel era doctor en Astrofísica e investigador del Max Planck Institut für Physik de Munich, y, en el momento del accidente, se encontraba ultimando los últimos detalles del telescopio.
"Magic-II"
La colaboración "Magic", una de las instituciones usuarias del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, dispone de dos telescopios Cherenkov en el Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos.
El telescopio "Magic-II" tiene previsto triplicar los resultados científicos obtenidos por su predecesor, el "Magic-I", en la investigación de los rayos cósmicos. Asimismo, dicho instrumento está situado a unos 2.200 metros de altitud sobre el nivel del mar.
A tenor de la información divulgada en la jornada de ayer por el IAC, la inauguración de dicho telescopio, prevista para el próximo 19 de septiembre, fue suspendida como consecuencia del trágico suceso.
The Eleanor crosses were 12 originally wooden, but later lavishly decorated stone, monuments, of which three survive intact, in a line down part of the east of England. King Edward I had the crosses erected between 1291 and 1294 in memory of his wife Eleanor of Castile, marking the nightly resting-places along the route taken by her body as it was taken to London. Several artists worked on the crosses, as the "Expense Rolls" of the Crown show, with some of the work being divided between the main figures, sent from London, and the framework, made locally. William of Ireland was apparently the leading sculptor of figures
The Northampton cross is still standing at the edge of Delapré Abbey; the King stayed at nearby Northampton Castle. This cross was begun in 1291 by John of Battle. He worked with William of Ireland to carve the statues: William was paid £3 6s. 8d. per figure.
The cross is octagonal in shape and set upon some steps - the present ones are replacements. It is built in three tiers and originally had a crowning terminal - possibly a cross. It is not known when this became lost. A local anecdote says that it was knocked off by a low flying aircraft from a nearby airfield in WWII.
The Cross is referred to in Daniel Defoe's a "Tour through the whole island of Great Britain", where he reports on the Great Fire of Northampton in 1675, "...a townsman being at Queen's Cross upon a hill on the south side of the town, about two miles (3 km) off, saw the fire at one end of the town then newly begun, and that before he could get to the town it was burning at the remotest end, opposite where he first saw it."
Its bottom tier features open books. These probably included painted inscriptions of her biography and of prayers for her soul to be said by viewers, now lost.

A sampling of the spices on offer at the floating market on Lake Inle, Myanmar.
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.

Ultima intervista a Woody Allen a Cannes
“Ve lo dico un’altra volta: non c’è felicità nella vita. Questa è sempre stata la mia prospettiva: lo penso sin da quando ero un ragazzo.
Per me la vita è un viaggio da incubo, un’esperienza molto dolorosa e non sono il primo a dirlo. Penso anche a Nietzsche, Freud o Eugene O’Neill che sostenevano la stessa cosa. Il trucco è sapere affrontare la vita mentendo spudoratamente a se stessi. Perché se si finisce col guardarla con occhi obiettivi vi rendereste conto che è intollerabile.
La cosa bella di questa città è che il clima è grigio e le estati sono fredde, il che può essere davvero utile per creare una fotografia unica per il film. Ma me ne starei comodamente nella mia amata New York se potessi trovare i finanziamenti per le mie storie. Girare in Europa costa molto meno, solo per questo continuo a farlo.
Non ci sono attori con cui aspiro tanto a lavorare, be’ mi piacerebbe dirigere Cate Blanchett o Reese Witherspoon ma non ho ancora trovato un ruolo per loro. Dipende sempre dallo script e una volta che ho creato il personaggio penso a chi posso offrirlo. Con quest’ultima pellicola sono stato molto fortunato a trovarli tutti gli attori che volevo. E tutti erano disponibili.
Non recito perché non trovo un ruolo adatto a me. Sono troppo vecchio e molti dei ruoli nei film che ho fatto sono sempre quelli di un romantico che riesce a conquistare la sua donna. Adesso non immaginate la frustrazione che provo quando recito insieme a Scarlett Johansson ed è un uomo più giovane ad averla!
Se potessi invecchiare come Manoel De Oliveira ci metterei subito la firma. Ma la mia posizione sulla morte resta sempre quella: sono profondamente contrario. E in quanto alla vecchiaia non ve la consiglio affatto! Non è che si diventa più saggi, ma è tutto un precipitare di dolore in cui ti ritrovi a vedere e sentire sempre meno e scordarti le cose in fretta.
Datemi retta, meglio essere giovani e riuscire a conquistare la vostra donna."

Senecio rowleyanus, commonly called string-of-pearls or string-of-beads, is a flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is native to southwest Africa. S. rowleyanus grows long, trailing stems of spherical leaves. The flowers are pale and brushlike. It is cultivated indoors as an ornamental plant for hanging baskets. The fleshy leaves are poisonous and should not be consumed.

I tried another attempt at the Brenizer Method, but this time thinking a little more about the relevant depth of field calculations, and you can get a better result with a slower long lens (this is 300mm @ ƒ/5.6) than with a short fast lens (e.g. 50mm @ ƒ/2).
That said, I think the ultimate lens would be one of those 300mm ƒ/2.8 beasts, with about 10 shots across to take you back to a 50mm field of view. Anyone got a spare 300mm ƒ/2.8 they no longer need?
This version took 89 images, all stitched together in Photoshop.
All still just an experiment for now...
As i mentioned at the turn of the year i would be putting more effort into seascape and architectural long exposures and trying to get better at not only the shooting side but also the processing side. Ive been out quite a few times and have a few shots that im working on at the minute. Last Thursday i had a check of the tides for Friday and high tide was at 2pm which was handy as i work near Seaton Sluice and finish work at 1.30. I had intended to go to the Tank Defence blocks in my previous shot but didnt think the tide would be high enough so made the decision to go to the Sluice at the Southern end of the beach near Old Hartley. I had been here just the week before but wasnt happy with my shots.
Upon arrival i was amazed at how high the tide was compared to my last high tide visit and a bit worried as the sea was rather lively! The waves were crashing into this wall and coming over and also there were big swells coming towards the concrete section i was standing on that looked like they would breach. I kept well back and stuck my Sigma 17-70 on and proceeded to take many long exposures of both this wall and the groyne to the left of me (shown in the description).
In this 6 minute odd exposure i used my Hoya ND64 (6 Stop) & Hoya NDX400 (8.6 Stop) stacked to try and flatten out the water and get some nice streaks in the clouds which were moving pretty slowly.
Processing wise i opened the shot in Camera Raw, added a grad to the sky then a grad to the foreground to lighten. I literally couldve posted it like that but as ive recently bought the Wacom Intuos 5 i had a mess about with that and some layer adjustments.
You gotta love this beach... theres so much to shoot at any tide :D

Bosque galería
De Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
Saltar a navegación, búsqueda
Riparian strip.jpg
Se denomina bosque en galería, bosque de ribera o soto, a la vegetación riparia, es decir, que sobrevive fundamentalmente por la humedad del suelo, y que crece, por lo general frondosamente, en las orillas de un río.
Algunos tienen características excepcionales, como los de la ribera del río Tajo en Aranjuez, convertidos en Jardines del Real Sitio, que han obtenido la calificación de Patrimonio de la Humanidad. La alteración de los bosques en galería, o bosques de ribera, por distintos aprovechamientos humanos es muy intensa, y quedan pocos intactos en España. En sudamérica, fundamentalmente en la región selvática que incluye el Brasil, Paraguay y otros países, estos valiosos ecosistemas están siendo protegidos y la explotación humana controlada.
En algunos lugares recibe nombres locales, como soto (entre otras zonas, en el Valle del Ebro), canuto (en la provincia de Cádiz, con una vegetación relicta de Era Terciaria similar a la laurisilva).
Dan cobijo a gran cantidad de animales, y particularmente de aves, y muestran una capacidad de recuperación ante los incendios muy superior a la de los montes cercanos. El nombre "galería" proviene del hecho de que su vegetación cubre al río formando una especie de túnel, como en la galería de una mina. Se identifican claramente en el paisaje por ceñirse al curso del río, formando un pasillo o corredor completamente distinto del resto de la vegetación, en color y altura, además de caracterizarse por poder mantener especies caducifolias en climas con sequía de verano, como el clima mediterráneo, al depender esencialmente de la humedad del suelo y de las características azonales de éste.
It's cool when you view large.

Μνημείο του Αρχιμανδίτη Ιερώνυμου Μυριανθέα στο χωριό Καμινάρια, στο παλιό σχολείο της κοινότητας που τώρα χρησιμεύει ως ξενώνας.
Από
www.kaminaria.org/index.php?article=10
O Αρχιμανδρίτης Ιερώνυμος Mυριανθέας γεννήθηκε το 1838 στο χωριό Kαμινάρια, όπου και έζησε τα πρώτα χρόνια της ζωής του. Το 1851, σε ηλικία δεκατριών χρόνων, ορφανός και από τους δύο γονείς, μετέβη στα Ιεροσόλυμα, όπου τέθηκε κάτω από την προστασία του Μητροπολίτη Πέτρας Μελετίου Mαττέου, ο οποίος καταγόταν από τη Λεμίθου. Στα Ιεροσόλυμα, ο Ιερώνυμος εισήχθη αρχικά στην Aλληλοδιδακτική Σχολή του Πατριαρχείου και στη συνέχεια, το 1855, στη νεοϊδρυθείσα Θεολογική Σχολή του Σταυρού, από όπου αποφοίτησε το 1859. Το ίδιο έτος χειροτονήθηκε διάκονος και προσελήφθη στο προσωπικό της Σχολής, όπου δίδαξε διάφορα μαθήματα στις μικρότερες τάξεις. Στη συνέχεια συνέχισε τις σπουδές του στη Θεολογική Σχολή του Πανεπιστημίου Αθηνών (1862-1864) και στα πανεπιστήμια του Στρασβούργου, της Xαϊδελβέργης και της Bόννης (1864-1867), αποκτώντας μοναδική για την εποχή μόρφωση. Στα Ιεροσόλυμα επέστρεψε το 1867 και εργάστηκε ως καθηγητής και ακολούθως ως διευθυντής της Θεολογικής Σχολής του Σταυρού (1872-1874). Στο μεταξύ, το 1870, χειροτονήθηκε ιερομόναχος και αμέσως μετά αρχιμανδρίτης.
Κατά τη διάρκεια των σπουδών του και κατά την περίοδο της παραμονής του στα Ιεροσόλυμα, ο Ιερώνυμος εξέδωσε σε αυτοτελείς τόμους αρκετά συγγράμματα. H ευρύτητα των γνώσεων και η γλωσσομάθειά του - εκτός από ελληνικά μιλούσε αραβικά, γερμανικά, γαλλικά, αγγλικά, εβραϊκά ίσως και τουρκικά - συνέτειναν ώστε να μπορεί να παρακολουθεί τη διεθνή βιβλιογραφία και, με τα άρθρα και τα συγγράμματά του, να διαφωτίζει για πολλά θέματα τους συμπατριώτες του.
Είναι αξιοσημείωτο ότι μεγάλο μέρος του συγγραφικού του έργου επανεκδόθηκε κατά τη διάρκεια του 20ού αιώνα, ενώ το σύνολό του περιελήφθη σε ογκώδη τόμο, που εξέδωσε ο Μητροπολίτης Κένυας Μακάριος Tηλλυρίδης με τίτλο: «Έργα και Hμέραι Iερωνύμου Mυριανθέως», το 1998, από τις εκδόσεις του Κέντρου Μελετών Ιεράς Μονής Kύκκου.
H ευγένεια του χαρακτήρα του, σε συνδυασμό με την εκπαιδευτική και συγγραφική του δράση, συνέτειναν ώστε ο Ιερώνυμος να γίνει ευρύτατα γνωστός και να προταθεί ή και να εκλεγεί κατά καιρούς σε διάφορους αρχιερατικούς θρόνους, που, όμως, πάντοτε αποποιείτο για διάφορους λόγους. Αναφέρεται χαρακτηριστικά ότι το 1868, το 1871, το 1881, το 1883 και το 1891 προτάθηκε για τους μητροπολιτικούς θρόνους Κιτίου, Kυρηνείας, Κερκύρας, Πατρών και τον Πατριαρχικό θρόνο Αντιοχείας αντιστοίχως, υποψηφιότητες που όμως απέρριψε, όπως το ίδιο έπραξε και τα έτη 1880 και 1887, που εξελέγη στον μητροπολιτικό θρόνο Κυρήνειας και Κιτίου αντιστοίχως.
Τελικά, το 1874, ο Ιερώνυμος αποδέχθηκε πρόσκληση της ελληνικής κοινότητας του Λονδίνου και, αφού εγκαταστάθηκε στην αγγλική πρωτεύουσα, ανέλαβε καθήκοντα ιερατικού προϊσταμένου στον ναό του Σωτήρος. Ένα από τα πιο σημαντικά έργα του την περίοδο αυτή είναι η συμβολή του στην ανέγερση της εκκλησίας της Αγίας Σοφίας, που άρχισε το 1877 και ολοκληρώθηκε το 1879, και η οποία αποτελεί από τότε κέντρο πνευματικής αναφοράς των αποδήμων. Παράλληλα, ενίσχυσε τη λειτουργία του ελληνικού σχολείου της κοινότητας, στο οποίο δίδαξε και ο ίδιος, στηρίζοντας και ενδυναμώνοντας την ελληνορθόδοξη συνείδηση των παιδιών των ξενιτεμένων.
Κατά τη διάρκεια της παραμονής του στο Λονδίνο, ανέπτυξε αξιόλογο εθνικό έργο και βοήθησε τον Αρχιεπίσκοπο Κύπρου Σωφρόνιο, με τις προσωπικές του γνωριμίες και τις παραστάσεις του προς τον Άγγλο πρωθυπουργό Γλάδστωνα, για την εισαγωγή μεταρρυθμίσεων και την εξασφάλιση διαβεβαιώσεων ότι η Κύπρος δεν θα επανερχόταν μελλοντικά στην κυριαρχία της Οθωμανικής αυτοκρατορίας.
H αγάπη του προς την Κύπρο εκδηλώθηκε και με πολλούς άλλους τρόπους, όπως με τη χρηματοδότηση της ίδρυσης και λειτουργίας του πρώτου σχολείου της γενέτειράς του Kαμινάρια, το 1882. Σε αυτό φοιτούσαν επίσης, κατά ρητή εντολή του, και παιδιά από τα γειτονικά χωριά Τρεις Ελιές και Άγιος Δημήτριος. Παράλληλα, ο Iερώνυμος έλαβε πρόνοια για τη συντήρηση και τη συνέχιση της λειτουργίας της Σχολής και κατέθεσε στην Εθνική Τράπεζα της Ελλάδος το ποσό των 750 λιρών, ώστε να πληρώνεται από τους τόκους ο εκάστοτε διδάσκαλος. Αλλά και αργότερα, με τη διαθήκη του, κληροδότησε στη Σχολή άλλες 400 λίρες, ποσό το οποίο αξιοποιήθηκε στα μεταγενέστερα χρόνια, όπως το 1952 που έγινε η επέκταση της Σχολής, το 1963 που δημιουργήθηκε η «Iερωνύμειος Βιβλιοθήκη» και το 1995 που, ελλείψει μαθητών, μετετράπη σε Πολιτιστικό Κέντρο. Αξιοσημείωτο είναι ότι ο Iερώνυμος άφησε με διαθήκη του και το ποσό των 250 λιρών για τις ανάγκες του Παγκυπρίου Γυμνασίου, γεγονός που συνέτεινε ώστε να περιληφθεί ανάμεσα στους μεγάλους ευεργέτες των εκπαιδευτηρίων της Λευκωσίας.
Στο Λονδίνο ο Ιερώνυμος παρέμεινε μέχρι το 1886, οπότε, λόγω σοβαρών προβλημάτων υγείας και εξαιτίας κάποιου ατυχήματος, που του προκάλεσε εκτεταμένα εγκαύματα, υποχρεώθηκε να το εγκαταλείψει και να καταφύγει στη Γενεύη, πόλη με υγιεινότερο κλίμα. Την περίοδο αυτή πραγματοποίησε διάφορα ταξίδια σε ευρωπαϊκές χώρες, όπως στην Ισπανία, καρπός του οποίου είναι ένα εξαίρετο ταξιδιωτικό με τίτλο «Bραχεία και αυτοσχέδιος περιήγησις εν Ισπανία», που δημοσίευσε στο ελληνικό περιοδικό της Λειψίας «Έσπερος». Παρά τα πολλά προβλήματα υγείας που αντιμετώπιζε, ο Ιερώνυμος συνέχισε τις πνευματικές δραστηριότητές του μέχρι το 1898 που απεβίωσε, και αναδείχθηκε ένας από τους σημαντικότερους Κυπρίους λόγιους του 19ου αιώνα. Μετά τον θάνατό του, ομάδα συγγενών του μετέβη στη Γενεύη και μετέφερε τη σορό του στα Kαμινάρια, όπου ετάφη στο προαύλιο της «Iερωνυμείου Σχολής». Για την αξιόλογη δράση του, ο Ιερώνυμος τιμήθηκε από την ελληνική κυβέρνηση πρώτα με τον αργυρό (1878) και στη συνέχεια με τον χρυσό σταυρό του Σωτήρος (1885), όπως επίσης και από τη ρωσική κυβέρνηση με το παράσημο της Αγίας Άννας. Εξάλλου, το Πανεπιστήμιο του Kέιμπριτζ, εκτιμώντας το συγγραφικό και επιστημονικό του έργο, τον ανακήρυξε διδάκτορα της θεολογίας (1886), ενώ παρόμοια τιμητική διάκριση του απενεμήθη και από το Πανεπιστήμιο της Oξφόρδης.

A tribute to 2 things lie here within.
Firstly, sadly this week Michael Jackson passed away (may you rest in peace MJ K.O.P.) and secondly a tribute to one of my favourite films with Bruce Willis as The Last Man Standing.
If you have not seen this film I suggest watching it!

Amsterdam has been called the "Venice of the North" for its more than one hundred kilometres of canals, about 90 islands and 1.500 bridges. The three main canals, Herengracht, Prinsengracht, and Keizersgracht, dug in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age, form concentric belts around the city, known as the grachtengordel. Alongside the main canals are 1550 monumental buildings.
Brouwersgracht means "brewers' canal. Construction of the canal belt began here in 1614. The canal gets its name from the many breweries established here in the 17th and 18th centuries, most of which have been converted into trendy warehouse apartments.. This canal has a friendly feel and is known for its picturesque humpback bridges and many houseboats. If you have time, explore a longer stretch of this canal, beyond the Prinsengracht.

De Oranjebrug, bouwjaar 1898. IJzeren ophaalbrug 146, tussen de Binnen Oranjestraat en de Willemsstraat te Amsterdam.
Deze ophaalbrug ontleent haar naam aan de straat waarin zij ligt. De herkomst van deze straatnaam is onzeker. Mogelijk verwijst zij naar het huis ‘De Prins van Oranje’, dat hier vroeger dicht bij de Haarlemmerdijk heeft gestaan.
Vanaf 1612 werd vanaf de Brouwersgracht de grachtengordel in zuidelijke richting gegraven. De gracht dankt sinds 1894 zijn naam aan de vele bierbrouwerijen die in de zestiende en zeventiende eeuw in deze buurt waren te vinden

I ventured to the San Luis Valley to take some more sunset photos of Great Sand Dunes National Park (I love that place) and stopped by Zapata Falls for some waterblur photos. I didn't know the canyon leading to the waterfalls was so gorgeous, especially with the reds from the sunset lighting up the canyon walls. Quite a sight to behold! Soli deo Gloria!
