('sooc' as usual)
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances, but they're worth takin',
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin',
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin' out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.

Leven onder de as van de vulkaan, dag in, dag uit... alle hotels zijn leeg en verwoest. De stad lijkt heel hallucinant. Ook de huizen zitten onder de as. Nog één hotel blijft met staats-steun open voor de enkele verdwaalde toeristen. De lokale bevolking is erg uitgedund. Alleen heel arme mensen zijn genoodzaakt om te blijven wonen. Aan ons hotel is er elke dag een ploeg paraat om de as weg te scheppen, een heel ongezond werk. De as is heel zacht en voelt aan als losse zachte poeder. Er valt voortdurend as uit de lucht en na enkele uren zit je onder het stof. Veel mensen lopen voortdurend met een masker voor de mond, om de longen te beschermen. De rode tong en tanden bij veel mensen wordt veroorzaakt door het kauwen van 'betelnut'. Een mengsel van mosterdzaadjes, kalk en beetlenoot.
De Tavurvur is een actieve stratovulkaan nabij de Papoea-Nieuw-Guineaanse stad Rabaul op de noordoostelijke punt van het eiland Nieuw-Brittannië. Het vormt het meest actieve onderdeel de Rabaulcaldera (8 bij 14 km), waarbinnen het gelegen is aan de oostelijke rand. De vulkaan is binnen de stad Rabaul berucht om de vele verwoestende uitbarstingen.

Santes Creus nace en espíritu el 1150, cuando la familia de los Montcada cede la primera ubicación del monasterio en Valldaura del Vallès. La primera fecha, pero, de posesión del lugar de Santes Creus en el valle del Gaià la encontramos el 1158. Dadas las disensiones jurisdiccionales entre el obispado de Barcelona y el arzobispado de Tarragona, el monasterio fue víctima de un pleito que motivó que su adscripción fuese exenta de ninguna diócesis. La fachada principal de la iglesia, coronada por almenas, data del siglo XII y presenta una portalada románica con un gran ventanal gótico. La planta es de cruz latina, queda cerrada por detrás del altar y retablo mayor, de Josep Tremulles (siglo XVII), con un gran rosetón. Tiene además tres robustas naves y cinco capillas abacales, muy cerca del altar mayor se localizan las tumbas de Pere II el Gran (siglo XIII) por un lado, y de Jaume II y Blanca d'Anjou (siglo XV) por el otro. El cenobio convertido en panteón real por el primero de estos reyes fue fortificado durante los siglos XIV y XV. El monasterio conserva dos claustros, el de la entrada turística que es gótica y reemplazo uno de anterior románico, del cual sólo queda el templete del lavatorio.
Santes Creus spirit born in 1150, when the Montcada family gave the first location of the monastery in Valldaura del Vallès. The first date, but in possession of the place of Santes Creus in the valley of Gaia we find the 1158. Given the jurisdictional disagreements between the bishop of the archdiocese of Barcelona and Tarragona, the monastery was the victim of a lawsuit that led to his secondment was free of any diocese. The main facade of the church, surmounted by battlements, XII century Romanesque doorway and features a large window with a Gothic. The plant is a Latin cross, is closed behind the altar and reredos, Josep Tremulles (seventeenth century), with a large rosette. Also has three sturdy ships and five chapels abacales, near the main altar are located the tombs of Pere II the Great (thirteenth century) on the one hand, and of James II and Blanche d'Anjou (XV century) on the other. The monastery converted into a royal pantheon by the first of these kings was fortified during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The monastery preserves two cloisters, the tourist entry replacement is Gothic and Romanesque previous one, which is the only temple of the washing.
Only available here and only for a limited time!!
From a frozen ice cave deep within the Applachian Mountains....here come the Polar Skull Bunnies! They are just as cute but so much more rare than other Skull Bunnies. They love the cold and snow so they only come out in the winter. Their polka dot & lavendar fur keeps them warm during their chilly frolicks. But for the rest of the year they hide in their cave, so catch one while you can!
These bunnies are LIMITED EDITION, which means THEY WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE FOR A LIMITED TIME! Of course, being limited edition means they also come with a signed & numbered tag from Spooky Daddy himself.
But just like their cousins the regular Skull Bunnies each one is handmade out of super soft fleece with spooky love and attention to detail.
Since they are handmade no 2 are ever exactly the same. But they all are approx. 11 inches and filled with squishy polyfill. The eyes and faces are carefully machine sewn for duriblity.
If your Skull Bunny gets dirty don't worry you can easily spot clean them with a wet washcloth. Or if they get absolutely filthy just tie them up in a pillow case and toss them in the washer on a cold gentle cycle. And then dry them on low and they will be good and spooky as new and smellin real nice!
While awaiting the arrival of your new pal, you may choose to prepare for him. Here's a handy list of things you can do:
1.) Be sure to have a dark spot for him to hide in when he's feeling shy.
2.) Also, provide him with a nice sunny spot to frolick in when he's feeling peppy. You should also remember that he will only frolick when he's alone, so the sunny spot should be left attended for one half-to one hour per day.
3.) Provide some fake snow (or salt will work in a pinch) to recreate his natural habitat. HOWEVER, IT IS STRONGLY ADVISED AGAINST PLACING YOUR SKULL BUNNY IN A MAYONNAISE JAR. I know it'd a little snow globe but please resist the urge to contain his cuteness. He will thank you for it.
4.) Stop vacuuming underneath your bed. Your Skull Bunny will roam late at night, scouring your home for cookie crumbs (which are his sole source of sustinance.) Also, if you do not eat cookies near or in your bed, you should begin this practice 1-2 days prior to your Skull Bunny's arrival.
Taking these steps will ensure you and your Skull Bunny have a happy, harmoniously spooky life together!
I was really excited to have my future read to me by the famous fortune tellers of Quiapo. I really don't believe in them but the thought of having someone predict what the future holds for me is really entertaining. See more info about the Fortune Tellers of Quiapo
So when "Manang" called me to have a fortune telling session, I happily obliged. For 100 pesos, she told me all the good stuff, like I'll be rich in 3 years time, good health, that I won't have any troubles at work, and that many girls would fall in love with me! hahahaha! At that point, I know she is just teasing me. I really enjoyed talking to Manang about what she saw in her tarot cards. Her humorous ways of explaining the meaning of her readings is truly entertaining!
The excavations of Pompeii is the only archaeological site in the world, along with that of Herculaneum, capable of returning visitors to a Roman town, whose life has remained firm to a distant morning in 79 AD, an era from which the Vesuvius decided to cancel by earth orbit. The town owes its exceptional state of preservation to the way in which it was buried. Source: www.pompeiturismo.it

The city of Pompeii was an ancient Roman town-city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania, in the territory of the comune of Pompei. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area, was mostly destroyed and buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
Researchers believe that the town was founded in the seventh or sixth century BC and was captured by the Romans in 80 BC. By the time of its destruction, 160 years later, its population was probably approximately 20,000, with a complex water system, an amphitheatre, gymnasium and a port. Source: en.wikipedia.org

¿Y tú cómo vas?
tienes mala cara,
no me digas más,
si yo te contara…
falleció mi suegro,
me operé del quiste,
¿tú me ves más triste?
Y me doy con un canto en los dientes
porque a la presente,
y, cruzando los dedos,
lo puedo contar,
aunque, gracias a Dios,
yo no soy creyente,
con lo que una ha visto,
y que Dios me perdone,
no hay que ser muy lista.
Pa mí… Jesucristo
el primer comunista.
Como te digo una “co” te digo la “o”
¿Y las religiones?
Ponme una de cada,
que están rebajadas
en el Corte Inglés.
¿Y cual es la mejor?
Mire usted, la mía,
porque es de cajón
que algo tiene que haber.
Llámalo equis,
me parece bien.
Llámalo energía,
mejor todavía
¿Y los curas?
esos ni en pintura
¿Y el tarot, y la astrología?
me los hice ayer en la peluquería
¿Y el dinero?
el único Dios verdadero
¿Y Lutero y Buda y Mahoma?
con su pan se lo coman
¿Y qué opinas del Papa de Roma?
ese… un particular.
¿Pero a ti qué te voy a contar?
Fíjate que yo,
sin ser socialista
de las de carné
y hasta aquí del GAL
y de la corrupción,
que sí, que existió,
una mala gripe
que había que pasar,
pero te decía, como mi Felipe
pa mí que no hay dos,
y si no, tú misma,
porque el del bigote
no tiene carisma,
Como te digo una “co” te digo la “o”...

1972 fire in Bishop Eton monastery roof, Woolton Rd Liverpool 18. The box on the roof of the appliance is a Hi-Ex foam applicator used for when the booms are extended. All Liverpool PHP's were fitted accordingly.This PHP was from Canning Place.
This cottage was apparently built by Henry Hersey (1795-1866) and his son, also Henry (1827-1893), possibly c. 1860, one of several in the area which were built by them. The Herseys were carpenters and bought sections 815 and 1116 prior to the 1860s, building a row of two-roomed cottages which were let for 3 shillings a week. Two larger, four-roomed cottages remain: this property and a house of the corner of Schulze and Gorge Road on section 1116.
In 1860 the cottage was the scene of a crime:
Adolph C. A. Herse was indicted for stealing 28 bunches of onions, value 2s., the property of his master, Henry Hersey, jun., at the Fifth Creek, on the 14th August last.
The prisoner had been in the employment of the prosecutor, who is a market gardener, at the Fifth Creek, and on the day named visited the sleeping apartment of the prisoner, a stable detached from the prosecutor's residence, and there, under the bed, discovered 28 bunches of onions. The prosecutor then, with a person named Sanders, put themselves in ambush to watch the proceedings of the prisoner, to see what he would do with the onions; but neither of them being able to detect the prisoner go into the stable again or leave it, both of them, after being on the look-out for several hours, returned to the prisoner's bed, but found the onions gone. On being spoken to the next day some words passed between prisoner and prosecutor, and those words the prosecutor construed into an admission of the prisoner that he took the onions.
The prosecutor, to-day, said that when he first saw the prisoner the next morning, he said to him, "How about the onions?" which at first he denied having taken, but afterwards admitted to have have taken them for the purpose of giving to a poor fellow out of work, lately in the employ of the Waterworks Commissioner, and which he had given him to sell for himself. When he first made the admission he said they were damaged, and that he had thrown them in the creek, and then went to the creek and brought some rotten ones which he (prosecutor) told him were not the same he had seen under the bed. In answer to His Honor, the prosecutor confessed he could not distinctly remember the exact replies the prisoner made to him when he questioned him about the onions.
John Sanders gave evidence of the interview between the prosecutor and prisoner. He confirmed the prosecutor's evidence that he only asked the prisoner "how about the onions?" He did not hear him charge the prisoner with stealing them.
The prisoner handed in a written defence, stating that he took the onions to give to a poor man, and that when his master found it out, he said he would forgive him if he would remain and work, which he did for several days after, and then wishing to get paid his wages, he asked for them, which the prosecutor refused to give. He then went to a lawyer to get his wages for him, who sent a letter to his master demanding them, and as soon as he received the letter, he went and laid the information against him. The statement added that the prosecution was only instituted to keep the prisoner out of his wages.
His Honor summed up, directing the Jury that the taking had been proved, and, therefore, the only question for their consideration was, whether the onions were taken with the intention to steal; and upon that question the must important part of the evidence was, that the next morning, when the prosecutor spoke to the prisoner, he did not tell him he had stolen the onions; but only asked "how about them?" shewing that - at that time, even the prosecutor did not think they were stolen. It would have been a very different matter altogether, said His Honor, if the prosecutor had said to the prisoner, "You have stolen my onions;" then any answers made by the prisoner to that charge, amounting to a confession, could be received as an admission of his guilt; but he thought both the conduct of the prisoner and the prosecutor did not amount to a supposition that the prisoner intended to steal. There was no doubt the prisoner took the onions, and it appeared he gave his master's property away to a man out of a work of charity, which he had no right to do, but that fact militated against the supposition that he intended to steal them from his master.
The Jury acquitted the prisoner.
De nuevo en mi tierra. De nuevo en Iquique. Mis últimos días en la ciudad que me vio nacer. Se siente raro armar las cajas con lo que me voy a llevar a Santiago. Recuerdos y cosas que pasan por la mente. Una sensación nueva de nostalgia, pero el optimismo y los sueños son mas grandes. La nueva vida se abre frente a mi. Nuevas experiencias, nuevas relaciones me esperan allá. Me esperas tu?
_________________________________________________________________
Back in my hometown. Back in Iquique. My last days in the city that watched me born. It feels strange to fill some boxes with the stuff I’m taking to Santiago. Memories and things come to my mind. A new nostalgic sensation, but optimism and dreams are higher. A whole new life’s in front of me. New experiences, new relationships wait for me there. Are you waiting for me?
en la espera~
Wish you were ... here ♫

Update: I got tagged again. Twice. Do ya'll really want to know that much about me??
16 (more) Random Things About Me:
1. I tend to come across as outgoing and confident, but I used to be the shy kid
2. I was a tomboy most of my life, but never liked sports (well, at least team sports)
3. I must have some kind of nomad blood in me because I always have this itch to travel
4. At the same time, I've always wanted to own a house
5. I am incredibly contrary
6. Though I don't consider myself at all religious, I identify heavily with Buddhism
7. I'm ridiculously afraid of scary movies because I experience almost all movies as though I'm in them
8. I have an imagination that isn't so much overactive as athletic on an Olympic level
9. I built an entire world, complete with cultures and a whole host of characters, but will probably never write the epic novel to go with it because I nitpick my own writing too much
10. I loved living in New York City, but hate crowds (it's that contrary thing again)
11. I despise the suburbs; give me a city or a mountain
12. I always end up playing diplomat in whatever situation goes sour
13. I never had rose-colored glasses, not even as a child
14. I enjoy cooking, and grew up in the kitchen with my mom
15. I used to speak 4 languages daily in high school, now I can barely speak 2
16. Without music, my life would be miserable... it is what fuels me, more than anything else
Uno de los tantos recuerdos de Méjico
La canción Regina esta inspirada en el libro de Antonio Velazco Piña en el cual ofrece un testimonio de la huella física, mental y espiritual que marcó para Méjico el movimiento estudiantil de 1968, cuyo acontecimiento sigue siendo recordado con especial admiración y profundo respeto
Este disco en su estado original esta hecho en una hoja de oro repujado. En la escena aparecen, una cara con una nariz bulbosa emergiendo del pico de un Aguila la cual mira hacia abajo donde se encuentra su víctima. Esta figura rapaz en conjunto con el monstruo del inframundo. En la parte inferior demuestran similitud con elementos de estructuras posteriores en Chichen Itza como el templo de los Guerreros.
El captivo victimado viste un penacho de plumas y tambien tiene bigote y una nariguera en forma de barra (probablemente de Jade) y en su desformación craneal se nota claramente su identidad Maya.
Este disco conmemora el suceso de la caída de los Mayas ante el pueblo invasor Tolteca, ó guerreros Aguila, quienes despues de varias intervenciones bélicas lograron conquistar a los Mayas unos siglos antes de la llegada Española.
esta es una réplica de este disco, esta tallada a mano sobre piedra caliza de la zona, por el artista Gilberto Silva, una verdadera obra de arte, tambien tengo por este mismo artista la tapa del sarcófago del Templo de las Inscripciones de Palenque Chiapas.
This is a Cast Stone from Gilberto Silva is made of limestone, hand craved, the original is a Gold Disc, is made of a sheet gold that is hammered, and embossed. Here is a warrior with a long bulbous nose emerging from a warrior eagle looks down upon its victim. This raptoral figure and the frontal earth monster below resemble elements on later structure at Chichen-Itza like the temple of the warriors. The victim wears a feathered back dress and even though he has a mustache and a nose bar his reduced forehead and nose structure clearly identify him as Maya. it is significant that the face and eye of the victim were cut through in the destruction of the disc, and the eagle warrior left intact. Perhaps this was used as a charm in a ritual to bring victory to the toltec in their conquest of Chichen-Itza. After being recontructed it was thrown into the sacred well of sacrifice as an offering to the gods to bring victory in the downfall of the maya at Chichen-Itza
The Scene represents the fall of the Maya civilization in the hands of the Toltec culture, originatingat Tula in Central Méjico and coming down through Tabasco. These same people captured the city of Mayapan in Northern Yucatan. They were called Toltec ...meaning "Foreigner"
Please give me your feedback as to whether you prefer this version or the other. I used a vintage photo action in CS2 and followed that with some curves adjustments.

The Indian Peafowl, Pavo cristatus, also known as the Common Peafowl or the Blue Peafowl, is one of the species of bird in the genus Pavo of the Phasianidae family known as peafowl. The Indian Peafowl is a resident breeder in the Indian subcontinent. The peacock is the national bird of India.
The species is found in dry semi-desert grasslands, scrub and deciduous forests. It forages and nests on the ground but roosts on top of trees. It eats mainly seeds, but also some insects, fruits and reptiles.
Peafowl are most notable for the male's extravagant display feathers which, despite actually growing from their back, are known as a 'tail' or a train. This train is in reality not the tail but the enormously elongated upper tail coverts. The tail itself is brown and short as in the peahen. They are a result of sexual selection and are displayed as part of courtship.

CASTELLANO
Pavo cristatus (Pavo real, Pavo real de la India, o Pavo real de pecho azul) es una de las dos especies de aves pertenecientes al género Pavo, que desde tiempos antiguos destacó entre los animales admirados por el hombre a causa del extraordinario abanico policromado que constituye la cola de los machos.
El pavo cristatus es una especie sexualmente dimórfica. Su longevidad es de aproximadamente 15 años, aunque se conocen casos de especímenes que vivieron en cautiverio más de 20 años.
Provisto de un pico fuerte, su cabeza esta cubierta de un plumaje azul brillante y coronada por un copete de plumas. El macho de la especie alcanza una longitud de 2,20 m y un peso de hasta 5 Kg: Su plumaje de color azul iridiscente con reflejos verdosos es característica, pero sin duda el principal atractivo lo constituyen sus más de cien plumas coberteras de hasta 2 m de longitud, que -al desplegarse - forman un majestuoso abanico tachonado por ocelos en tonos dorado, azul y verde.
Estrictamente el abanico no es la "cola" ni las alas del animal-de color pardo- se presenta por atrás y abajo de las coberteras, aunque pasa desapercibida ante la magnificencia del penacho desplegado. El macho puede abrirlo a partir de los tres años de edad, y las coberteras se renuevan anualmente. Por esta causa durante el otoño los machos quedan privados de su fastuoso adorno.

Today is the first day of the story, so here goes.

Day One [September 25, 2009]
"Today, I will be starting a story--a thriller. Perhaps you will start reading it and perhaps you'll like it. Perhaps I might continue the story. Perhaps not. Perhaps I should start typing the short story that I just finished telling you I was going to write. Perhaps not. Perhaps I like to use the word perhaps. And perhaps I'm only using the word to annoy you, and perhaps it is."
He tapped at the keyboard with surprising speed. click click click. He had taken a course in typing two years before and it was proving beneficial now. He had no idea what he was typing, but only that he was. He glanced to his left, eying the bright red numbers that stared him in the face. 1:10 pm. It was Wednesday afternoon and a slight breeze whisked through the red and orange leaves on the trees just outside his bedroom window. A typical autumn day, to be sure.
But he would soon discover that all was not typical, and all was not as it seemed.
He leaned back in his chair, and, closing his eyes, searched for words. Finding them, he leaned forward and began punching at the keyboard. "Perhaps I should get up and get a drink, but my thirst is not one to be quenched by water, not satisfied by a cola." He pushed his chair out from underneath him as he stood. He looked around. His room was a mess to end all messes, literally. No one could mess a room like he did, yet he cleaned it regularly. He ran his fingers through his short-cropped brown hair. Perhaps he would continue his typing later--perhaps not.
A knock on the door sent him down the hall and into the dimly-lit living room. He wasn't expecting anybody. For being recently graduated from college, he had a decent place. Landing himself a job at a local newspaper as a journalist helped with the income, and when he was short, his parents provided. His life was going smoothly, as far as he knew.
He swung open the large mock-cherrywood door and with a skeptical look on his face, greeted the delivery man. The package was addressed to Michael Hall. Not the photographer or painter, but himself. He wished he was widely known, but his talent left him writing for a local newspaper. He closed the door as the UPS man left. He grabbed a knife and opened the package cautiously. It was ironic; he'd be using a knife more in the next few days than he had ever done in his lifetime.
He pulled at the packaging peanuts and retrieved a cell phone. 'How cliche', he thought. The second the thought left his mind, the phone chirped to life. Michael jerked, startled by the volume level.
He put the receiver to his ear, "Hello?"

Las mecánicas de la representación teatral y los desafíos que encaran actores y directores son los temas que toca "Estado de ira", la obra de Ciro Zorzoli que se presentará desde el 20 de agosto en el teatro Sarmiento.
La trama del espectáculo transcurre en una supuesta dependencia pública en las afueras de la ciudad, donde un grupo de empleados se dedican a instruir a actores y actrices de reemplazo para las obras que están en cartel en los teatros del centro.
En la noche que transcurre la pieza deberán preparar a una actriz para que cubra el rol de Hedda Gabler, de la obra homónima de Henrik Ibsen, de acuerdo a las normas vigentes.
Paola Barrientos, Diego Velázquez, María Inés Sancerni, Carlos Defeo, Diego Rosental, Vanesa Maja, Gabriel Urbani, Dalila Romero, Cecilia Meijide, Marina Fantini y Pablo Castronovo integrarán el elenco de la obra, que tendrá iluminación de Eli Sirlin y escenografia y vestuario de Oria Puppo.
"Estado de ira" se presentará de jueves a domigos a las 21 en la sala de Avenida Sarmiento 2715.

I've giving in and posting this for 2 reasons;
[one] There's quite a few hours of homework ahead of me
[two] A story to go along with this
Went snowboarding today. As most ski hills are (midwest or otherwise) they are always tucked back in the middle of nowhere with windy dirt roads leading to a "mountainous" area. Here in Northern Illinois, that's exactly how it is. There is this little road I always take as a short cut and as I was driving down it, the clouds quite literally parted over this field. It's been flurrying with sun for the past couple of days so, yes, those little white dots are snowflakes. I immediately backed up the car and started *snaps snaps*. I figured I actually get out of my car to get a better angle but as I was walking up to the fence as seen above, I tried to hit the shutter and it did nothing. My little info screen read 'f EE'. So I stood in the middle of the road for a minute, somewhat paniced as my shiny new camera appeared to have pulled a Windows Vista (LOL). So I hop back in the car, grab my BlackBerry and get to Googling.
After I had driven off, I found somewhere on a forum that my camera was "frozen" and I needed to take the battery and the SD card out and let it sit for a couple days. HAHA YEAH RIGHT. So I scrolled down some more and came across another post that simply said, "check the aperture ring, sometimes it can get twisted or knocked out of the lock." And tada, that would be the cure :D So all ended well... except for my crappy snowboarding shots. They...well, they just didn't work out so well, so I leave you with this to ponder.
(not a fan, 48 more days to make up for it)
"Il complesso de La Venaria Reale è un unicum ambientale-architettonico dal fascino straordinario, uno spazio immenso, vario e suggestivo.
La Venaria Reale è il Borgo antico cittadino, scrigno di eventi e vicissitudini storiche; è l'imponente Reggia barocca che, con i suoi vasti Giardini, rappresenta uno dei più significativi esempi della magnificenza dell'architettura e dell'arte del XVII e XVIII secolo; è il Parco de La Mandria, una della maggiori realtà di tutela ambientale europea in cui vivono liberamente numerose specie di animali selvatici e domestici, e dove è custodito un notevole patrimonio storico-architettonico.
I nuovi splendori e la strepitosa qualità delle architetture della Reggia restaurata, l'immensità e la bellezza dei Giardini e degli spazi naturali del Parco, consentono di trascorrere amabilmente il proprio tempo immergendosi in sensazioni nuove e cogliendo esperienze diverse, secondo una concezione moderna ed alla portata di tutti del "gusto", del "loisir" e dell'"arte di vivere".
La Reggia di Venaria Reale e la residenza de La Mandria sono stati dichiarati dall'Unesco Patrimonio dell'Umanità."
"The Venaria Reale site is a unique environmental and architectural experience of extraordinary interest. It is an immense, varied and imposing space where the visitor cannot help feeling drawn into the magic atmosphere of cultural attractions and amusements that were the pastimes of nobility.
Venaria Reale and the old market town represent a treasure trove of historic events and trials and tribulations. We sense this in the imposing baroque palace, with its vast gardens, one of the most significant examples of the magnificence of architecture and art in the 17th and 18th centuries. We sense it, too, in the La Mandria Park, one of the finest examples of European environmental havens where numerous species of both domestic and wild animals live in complete freedom, and where a significant legacy of historic and architectural wealth is preserved.
The new splendours and exceptional quality of the architecture of the restored ‘Reggia’ palace, the immensity and beauty of the gardens and natural spaces in the park allow visitors the opportunity to spend their time immersed in new sensations, savouring new experiences and enjoying the modern concept - accessible to all - of “taste”, “leisure time” and the “art of living”.
The ‘Reggia di Venaria Reale’ royal palace and the residence of La Mandria have been declared “World Heritage” sites by UNESCO."

The Mandarin Duck (Aix galericulata), or just Mandarin, is a medium-sized perching duck, closely related to the North American Wood Duck. It is 41–49 cm long with a 65–75 cm wingspan.
The adult male is a striking and unmistakable bird. It has a red bill, large white crescent above the eye and reddish face and "whiskers". The breast is purple with two vertical white bars, and the flanks ruddy, with two orange "sails" at the back. The female is similar to female Wood Duck, with a white eye-ring and stripe running back from the eye, but is paler below, has a small white flank stripe, and a pale tip to its bill.[2] The Mandarin ducklings are almost identical in look to Wood ducklings, and appear very similar to Mallard ducklings. The ducklings can be distinguished from Mallard ducklings because the eye-stripe of Mandarin ducklings (and Wood ducklings) stops at the eye, while in Mallard ducklings it reaches all the way to the bill.
Quiapo Church, officially known as Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene, is a Roman Catholic church located in the District of Quiapo, Manila, in the Philippines. The church is one of the most popular churches in the country. It is home to the Black Nazarene, a much venerated statue of Jesus Christ which many people believe has miraculous attributes. The church was painted cream after the original Mexican Baroque edifice was burned down in 1928. Also known as St. John the Baptist Parish, the church at present belongs to the Archdiocese of Manila. The current rector is Rev. Msgr. Jose Clemente Ignacio, who succeeded Msgr. Josefino Ramirez (the Vicar General of the archdiocese) upon the latter's appointment as rector of the Archdiocesan Shrine of the Divine Mercy in Maysilo, Mandaluyong City.
The Quiapo Church holds a weekly novena every Friday and a procession every year on January 9 devoted to the Black Nazarene. Both are attended by thousands of devotees. Many sick people come to see the Black Nazarene, hoping that getting a chance to pray in front of its miraculous image would heal their sicknesses.

Bajando desde Tirso de Molina en Madrid te encuentras con el Mercado de La Cebada , una construcción interesante con sus grandes superficies acristaladas de formas geométricas y sus techos curvados, en esta ocasión mientras buscaba el atardecer en el Palacio Real me encontré con un contraluz bestial que me encantó, con el agua salpicando en la Fuente de la Plaza de la Cebada y esas ramas del árbol sobre los cristales.....
disparé y no conseguí mas que lo que veis aquí abajo, me lié con la foto y el PS....
esto fue lo que conseguí, algo extremo y diferente
¡¡esto es un mundo!! ..
Feliz Fin-D para todos!!
Lowering from Tirso de Molina in Madrid you are with the Market of the Barley , an interesting construction with its great glazed surfaces of geometric forms and their curved ceilings, in this occasion while it looked for the dusk in the Real Palace I was with a beastly backlighting that it enchanted to me, with the water splashing in the Source of the Place of the Barley and those branches of the tree on crystals .....
I shot and I did not obtain but that what you see here down, I embroiled with the photo and the PS...
this was what I obtained, something extreme and different…
this is a world!!...
Happy Weekend for all!
