Hello!!!! How are you all doing?? It has been a very long time, but the return is finally here.
And this is also my return to photography, during the break I didn't do any, you know, just busy with life :) And I also didn't have a camera, I missed making pictures so much!!
Now I have a new camera, but life is still pretty busy, so don't expect much though :)
I promise I will try my best, the motivation has never been this big!!
Oh and btw, this was a real jump :)
I also want to thank everyone for the Flickr mails and comments during the break.
See ya!!

Flal, Fusie-wandeltocht 2 november 2019
Listen Libera Me Domine - Pergolesi
A small town in the province of Lleida which sits at the foot of the Sierra del Tallat mountains, in the valley of Maldanell. Its origins date back to a Cistercian monastery which came to be the most important female monastery of the Catalonian-Aragonese Crown.
The monastery was founded in the 12th century and when the Trento Council decided that female monasteries must not be left abandoned, the inhabitants of the area built a village around it. At present, the monastery of Vallbona de les Monjes houses a significant female community. Its architectural wealth lies in the wide variety of styles on display on its walls and exterior, the best of examples of which are the church door, the cloister and the chapter house. Vallbona de les Monges forms part of the so-called Cistercian triangle, along with the monasteries of Poblet (Conca de Barberà) and Santes Creus (Alt Camp).

According to many European old maps, the river is named as Menam or Mae Nam, the Thai word for river (Me or Mae is "Mother", Nam is "Water"). The name Chao Phraya is a Thai feudal title, which can be translated as General or Lord. In the English-language media in Thailand the name is often translated as River of Kings.
The cities along the Chao Phraya are Nakhon Sawan, Uthai Thani, Chainat, Singburi, Ang Thong, Ayutthaya, Pathum Thani, Nonthaburi, Bangkok and Samut Prakan, listed from north to south. These cities are among the most historically significant and densely populated settlements of Thailand precisely because of their access to the waterway.
A big thank you to Mr. Wiki.. :-)
========================
La Chao Praya (thaï แม่น้ำเจ้าพระยา), ou Ménam Chao Phraya, est le plus important fleuve de Thaïlande après le Mékong et la Salween. C'est aussi le seul à couler entièrement dans le pays, dont il constitue encore aujourd'hui l'axe majeur de transport et de commerce. Il se forme au confluent des rivières Ping et Nan et s'écoule vers le sud pendant 372 km, avant de se jeter dans le golfe de Thaïlande. La vallée de la Chao Praya est une grande région productrice de riz.
Le mot Ménam signifie « rivière » en thaï : ce mot est formé de deux éléments : me signifiant « mère » et nam « eau ». Chao Phraya est un terme honorifique thaï, que l'on peut traduire approximativement par « seigneur des eaux ».
Non loin de son embouchure, la Chao Praya traverse Bangkok, où avaient lieu de fameux marchés flottants que l'on ne trouve plus guère qu'en dehors de la ville comme à Damnoen Saduak (80 km de Bangkok).
Merci Mr. Wikipedia.. :-)

El interior
Las columnas de la nave central.
Detalle de la bóveda.
Gaudí evolucionó de un primer proyecto gótico hacia un estilo personal, orgánico, inspirado en las formas de la naturaleza: para librarse de los contrafuertes góticos, ideó el uso de columnas en forma de tronco de árbol, que permiten descargar el peso de las cubiertas directamente en el suelo, solución práctica a la vez que estética, ya que convierte el interior de las naves del templo en un espacio orgánico que semeja un bosque. En 1987 se inició la cimentación de las naves; para 1997 se completaron las bóvedas laterales y se empezó la central.
El templo tiene planta de cruz latina, con cinco naves de 90 metros de longitud, y crucero de tres naves de 60 metros; la nave central tiene un ancho de 15 metros, y 7,5 las laterales, haciendo un total de 45 metros; ancho del crucero, 30 metros. La altura es de 45 metros en las bóvedas de la nave central y 30 en las laterales, mientras que las del cimborio central llegarán a los 60 metros. Las naves laterales contendrán las cantorías para los coros. El ábside es lobulado, con deambulatorio entorno del presbiterio. El templo contará con un total de 36 columnas, que oscilarán entre 11,10 y 22,20 metros de altura, con bases de polígonos estrellados de varios lados según su ubicación: 6 (naves laterales), 8 (nave central), 10 (torres de los Evangelistas), 12 (torre de Jesús). Los materiales de construcción varían de la piedra de Montjuïc al granito, basalto o pórfido.
Las bóvedas son hiperbólicas, construidas con baldosas de mosaico veneciano. Gaudí utilizó la técnica de la bóveda catalana o bóveda tabicada, que consistía en la superposición de varias capas de ladrillos con argamasa. Las cubiertas son de forma piramidal, coronadas por una linterna y un farol. Los ventanales están pensados para distribuir una iluminación suave y armónica, creando un efecto de recogimiento, y tienen forma geométrica abstracta; las vidrieras de colores son obra de Joan Vila i Grau. Gaudí realizó profundos estudios acústicos y lumínicos para conseguir una perfecta sonoridad e iluminación en el interior del templo.
The church plan is that of a Latin cross with five aisles. The central nave vaults reach 45 meters while the side nave vaults reach 30 meters. The transept has 3 aisles. The columns are on a 7.5 meter grid however the columns of the apse, resting on del Villar's foundation, do not adhere to the grid, requiring a section of columns of the ambulatory to transition to the grid thus creating a horseshoe pattern to the layout of those columns. The crossing rests on the four central columns of porphyry supporting a great hyperboloid surrounded by two rings of 12 hyperboloids (currently under construction). The central vault reaches 60 meters. The apse will be capped by a hyperboloid vault reaching 75 meters. Gaudi intended that a visitor standing at the main entrance be able to see the vaults of the nave, crossing, and apse, thus the graduated increase in vault loftiness.
The columns of the interior are a unique Gaudi design. Besides branching to support their load, their ever-changing surfaces are the result of the intersection of various geometric forms. The simplest example is that of a square base evolving into an octagon as the column rises, then a 16-sided form, and eventually to a circle. This effect is the result of a three-dimensional intersection of helicoidal columns (for example a square cross-section column twisting clockwise and a similar one twisting counter-clockwise).

Excerpt from fpf.ccidahk.gov.hk/en/location/detail.php?id=76:
Tsuen Wan Jockey Club Tak Wah Park was designed along the classical Chinese garden theme. The park, with an area of about 1.63 hectares, is located in Tsuen Wan town centre. Being a Chinese-style garden that is rarely found in Tsuen Wan, Tak Wah Park provides a fine place for relaxation in the bustling town area. Sponsored by the Hong Kong Jockey Club, construction works of the park were carried out in 2 phases. Phase I was completed in 1989, while Phase II was completed in 1995. Modelled on the setup of a classical Chinese garden, the park has rock mountains made from Taihu rock, thick foliage, ornamental lakes, ancient village houses, a "pai lau", stone bridge, a stone boat, a pavilion and a verandah. A "Chess Garden" was built in the park, where giant stone-carved pieces of Chinese chess are used to display the endgame for the deliberation of chess lovers. In addition, there are 2 theme gardens in the park, namely, "Camellia Garden" and "Herb Garden", where different species of Camellia and herb are grown. Tak Wah Gallery and Environmental Resources Centre are converted from ancient village houses on the site. They are managed by Leisure and Cultural Services Department and Environmental Protection Department respectively.
Thank you all my dears Flickr friends for your sweet comments! I do appreciate them very, very much
Marraquesh Night Market Loreena McKennitt
They're gathered in circles
the lamps light their faces
The crescent moon rocks in the sky
The poets of drumming
keep heartbeats suspended
The smoke swirls up and then dies
Would you like my mask?
would you like my mirror?
cries the man in the shadowing hood
You can look at yourself
you can look at each other
or you can look at the face, the face of your god
The stories are woven
and fortunes are told
The truth is measured by the weight of your gold
The magic lies scattered
on rugs on the ground
Faith is conjured in the night market's sound
Would you like my mask?
would you like my mirror?
cries the man in the shadowing hood
You can look at yourself
you can look at each other
or you can look at the face, the face of your god
The lessons are written
on parchments of paper
They're carried by horse from the river Nile
says the shadowy voice
In the firelight, the cobra
is casting the flame a winsome smile
Would you like my mask?
would you like my mirror?
cries the man in the shadowing hood
You can look at yourself
you can look at each other
or you can look at the face, the face of your god
Loreena writes in the CD booklet about this song:
March 16, 1993 - Arrived tonight in Marrakesh and am staying on the edge of the market. It is Ramadan and there is heightened activity all around. I am struck by the hooded features of men as they pass through the lights and shadows: they look monk-like. Horses, carriages, cars, bicycles and thousands of people are embroiled in the activities of the night ... a cacophony of sound. I retreat to a rooftop café to watch while sipping mint tea ... many circles of twenty or so people are scattered around the market, each involved in their own drama of music, storytelling monkeys on men's shoulders, or cobras being coaxed to "dance" on rugs; "magic" concoctions of bone, seeds, stones and spices are sold ... women are veiled to a great degree ... I am stuck by the sense of intrigue the environment creates; as much is concealed as is revealed ...

I was never thinking that the seascape shooting can be so adventurous like this morning. I went with Michael to Shelly Beach-Manly to take some shots but I must have misunderstood his email. Seriously, when he told me that this was going to be an adventure, he was right!!
We decided that instead of walking for half an hour to our destination we would take the shortcut via a steep road down to the cliff in pitch black darkness (5.30 am). Well Michael had a flash light and I forgot mine at home, bottom line – we finally reached our destination with some additional scars, bruises and scratches on my legs and feet. I had slipped a couple of times and fell despite my Spiderman powers and my new wet shoes!!
We met Oat ( Hangingpixels) and few more photographers; good thing is to see how many people enjoy photography, sunrise and seascape shooting.

La Fuente Mágica de Montjuic
La inauguración de la fuente mágica de Montjuic tuvo lugar el 19 de mayo de 1929, durante la Exposición Internacional de Barcelona. El diseñador Carles Buigas envió los planos un año antes de la exposición y muchos pensaron que el proyecto era demasiado ambicioso para ser creado y muchos menos creían que fuera a finalizarse para la fecha en que comenzaba la Exposición.
Más de 3000 trabajadores estuvieron a cargo del proyecto y, tras menos de 1 año, la fuente mágica estaba terminada.
La fuente mágica es una espectacular exhibición de color, luz, movimiento, música y acrobacias acuáticas. Si mezclas todos estos elementos y los combinas correctamente ¡obtienes magia pura! La fuente mágica es un espectáculo “obligado” y altamente recomendado si vienes a Barcelona.
Magic Fountain of Montjuic
The inauguration of Magic Fountain of Montjuic took place on May 19, 1929, during the International Exhibition of Barcelona. The designer Carles Buigas sent the planes a year before the exhibition and many thought that the project was too ambitious to be created and far fewer thought they were finished for the day on which the exhibition began.
More than 3000 workers were in charge of the project and, after less than 1 year, the source Magic finished.
The magic source is a spectacular display of color, light, movement, music and acrobatics waterfowl. Combining all these elements and combines them correctly you get pure magic! The source is a magic show "obligatory" and highly recommended if you come to Barcelona.
according to the encyclopedia:
-the production of permanent images on surfaces coated with light-sensitive chemicals.
so this is actually an encyclopedia from the early 1950's.
my mom got these from waaaay long ago so i have no idea where she got them from.
but here's to re-discovering more vintage things in my house that i never cared to look at.
kind of appreciating that i have these books too.
These cameras on the right side of the page according the encyclopedia, were 'a selection of cameras in everday use'. and to them those were modern. i just find that interesting haha.
The stone pine (Pinus pinea), also called Italian stone pine, umbrella pine and parasol pine, is a tree from the pine family (Pinaceae). The tree is native to the Mediterranean region, occurring in Southern Europe, North Africa, and the Levant.

I reached a million views a while ago:
And never got to thank every single one of you.
I mean it when I say I cannot put into words how many good people I have met through this site, how much I have learned, and how much I have taken out of this.
You all, every single one of you, do have such a place in my heart.
I can't imagine my life if I have never started putting my work on here.
That may sound odd, but I can't imagine it.
AND IF YOU ARE OUT THERE
I think I ran into someone who knows me from this site today.
I was crossing the cross walk here at school and I passed you, whoever you are, brown haired girl carrying a camera?
I think you must have recognized me or something because of the way you were watching me....so if you read this, hello, and I am really praying I smiled at you as I passed. I know I was on the phone.
:)
(I do apologize for this, I was without a tripod and remote so this was all I could manage)
Happy Easter everyone.

" There are places in the world where still nobody has been, but you can arrive there by traveling in your mind... "
This shot was taken at a not so large frozen pond in Emsland, Germany near the Dutch borders, on Saterday the 22nd of December 2007. A 15 minutes walk from where I live.
Post-processing info:
Some old-school post-processing was used on the original RAW, which was leveled, curved and converted to B/W with tweaks on the Green filter setting. A Hue/Saturation layer was used to create the blue/cyan/purple atmosphere. Some noise-reduction and global Gaussian blur was used to create silky smooth surfaces and halo's around the trees. Selective sharpness with the HighPass filter in Vivid Light mode plus some extra Unsharp Mask sharpening (300% at 0.2px radius with 6 levels of treshold) to bring back a bit more detail into the trees. Some final adjustments, such as removing detail from the surface, with the blurring tool.
P.s. My ega actually chose this one for a bunch of 'Happy New Year' greetings to send-out this year :)
Hope you like it and a happy new year to y'all~!

Sonnenuntergang
Die glühend rote Sonne steigt
Hinab ins weitaufschauernde,
Silbergraue Weltenmeer;
Luftgebilde, rosig angehaucht,
Wallen ihr nach; und gegenüber,
Aus herbstlich dämmernden Wolkenschleiern,
Ein traurig todblasses Antlitz,
Bricht hervor der Mond,
Und hinter ihm, Lichtfünkchen,
Nebelweit, schimmern die Sterne.
Einst am Himmel glänzten,
Ehlich vereint,
Luna, die Göttin, und Sol, der Gott,
Und es wimmelten um sie her die Sterne,
Die kleinen, unschuldigen Kinder.
Doch böse Zungen zischelten Zwiespalt,
Und es trennte sich feindlich
Das hohe, leuchtende Ehpaar.
Jetzt am Tage, in einsamer Pracht,
Ergeht sich dort oben der Sonnengott,
Ob seiner Herrlichkeit
Angebetet und vielbesungen
Von stolzen, glückgehärten Menschen.
Aber des Nachts,
Am Himmel, wandelt Luna,
Die arme Mutter,
Mit ihren verwaisten Sternenkindern,
Und sie glänzt in stiller Wehmut.
Und liebende Mädchen und sanfte Dichter
Weihen ihr Tränen und Lieder.
Die weiche Luna! Weiblich gesinnt,
Liebt sie noch immer den schönen Gemahl.
Gegen Abend, zitternd und bleich,
Lauscht sie hervor aus leichtem Gewölk,
Und schaut nach dem Scheidenden, schmerzlich,
Und möchte ihn ängstlich rufen: "Komm!
Komm! die Kinder verlangen nach dir -"
Aber der trotzige Sonnengott,
Bei dem Anblick der Gattin erglüht er
In doppeltem Purpur,
Vor Zorn und Schmerz,
Und unerbittlich eilt er hinab
In sein flutenkaltes Witwerbett.
Böse, zischelnde Zungen
Brachten also Verderben
Selbst über ewige Götter.
Und die armen Götter, oben am Himmel
Wandeln sie, qualvoll,
Trostlos unendliche Bahnen,
Und können nicht sterben,
Und schleppen mit sich
Ihr strahlendes Elend.
Ich aber, der Mensch,
Der niedriggepflanzte, der Tod-beglückte,
Ich klage nicht länger.

Taken Saturday morning following our temple run.. the B/W mini khlong series . The Prawet Burirom is unique in that it dates back to 1877 and part of a network that extends 46KM..in an around BKK.. The kids we bathing in the khlong and were far from hostile.. as can be seen
Canal life has long been a part of Thai culture. The Europeans used to call Bangkok "Venice of the East". That was fifty years ago, when Bangkok still had hundreds of canals (klongs). In the mid-nineteenth century, the mighty Chao Phraya River flowed through a city with two-thirds of its residents living on floating houses. Then they started filling in and paving over the canals, to make roads.
Today there are many fewer klongs and most people take the roads instead of the waterways, but a klong is still an attraction. The many klongs that snake through Bangkok offer multiple opportunities and provide a unique look into the everyday lives of the population.
Many Thais live along the waterways, in small wooden houses that rise out of the water on wooden stilts. As you pass by, you can see them doing laundry or bathing while small children are playing. They are wonderful people..
Long flat boats can be seen laden with exotic produce and colorful fare plying the waterways as they have done for centuries. This pic depicts in some ways a feel for life as it was decades ago. Truly impressive ... and hot.. :-) enjoy my man in blue (MIB).. LOL..

Prise lors de ma sortie de Samedi.. cette photo lance une mini serie sur la vie et les images que l'on peut trouver le long des canaux renommes de Bangkok.. On s'est bien amuse a marche sur pres de 6 Km. A vous maintenant de decouvrir et la serie continue.. .. On a rencotrer les gamins qui s'amusaient dans la flotte du canal. Cliche N/B.. d'autres a venir..

The whole of the Golconda Fort complex and its surrounding spreads across 11 km of total area, and discovering its every nooks is an arduous task. Visit to the fort comprise seeing the architectural beauty in many of the pavallions, gates, entrances and domes. Parted in four district forts, the architectural valour still gleams in each of its apartments, halls, temples, mosques, and even in its stables. The graceful gardens of the fort may seem to be lost its fragrance, for which it was known 400 years ago, yet a walk in the deceased garden has to be inevitable in your schedule to explore the impression of gone glory of Golconda Fort./wiki
Ephesians 2:4-10
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Pues si, ya de vuelta entre vosotros y con ganas de ponerme al día y ver vuestras tomas y como no, enseñaros la mías. Esta toma es un espectacular ocaso que he tenido la suerte de disfrutarlo con tres grandes personas y mejores amigos en Sanlucar, estas tres grandes personas son Marisa Vicario, Pepe Valencia Trillo y Eduardo de los Reyes. ¿Os imagináis estar en esta compañía y además ver esta atardecer? No se puede pedir más de verdad os lo digo.
Mañana pondré unas fotos de esa QDD que se hizo en Sanlucar y que de verdad ha sido un día que jamás olvidare, al igual que toda mi estancia en Andalucía y Ceuta.
Bueno espero que sea de vuestro agrado.
Un beso para vosotras y un abrazo para vosotros.
Giralda - Sevilla (Spain).
ENGLISH
The Giralda is the bell tower of the Cathedral of Seville in Seville, Spain, one of the largest churches in the world and an outstanding example of the Gothic and Baroque architectural styles. The tower is a former Almohad minaret which, when built, was the tallest tower in the world at 97.5 m (320 ft) in height. It was one of the most important symbols in the medieval city.
The tower, an ancient minaret from the Almohad mosque of Seville, is constructed in several distinct parts from different cultures. The Islamic body is the oldest part. It was built in 1184 under the orders of the Caliph Abu Yusuf Ya'qub al-Mansur by the architect Ahmad ibn Baso and finished by Abu-l-Laith As-Siqilli in 1198. Several old buildings, including Roman stones from the ruined city of Italica, were reused to provide construction materials. The Giralda has no stairs; instead, 34 ramps are used to ascend the tower. The ramps were sufficiently wide for the muezzin to ride a horse to the top of the tower to recite the Adhan (call to prayer).
The copper sphere that originally topped the tower fell in an earthquake in 1365. Christians replaced the sphere with a cross and bell. Later, in the 16th century, the architect Hernán Ruiz designed an belfry extension to convert the minaret to a bell tower. At the top of the extension stands a statue representing Faith. According to tradition, Saints Justa and Rufina, the patronesses of Seville, are also the protectors of the Giralda.
The statue stands 4 m (13 feet) in height (7 m (23 ft) with the pedestal) and has crowned the top of the tower since its installation in 1568. The statue was originally called the Giralda ("weathervane") since it twists with the wind on a weathervane. With the passage of time, the tower became known as the Giralda while the statue took the name Giraldillo.
The Renaissance section of the tower also contains a large inscription of Seville's motto, NO8DO. Alfonso X of Castile gave the motto to the city when it continued to support his rule during an insurrection. A rebus, the motto means no me ha dejado or "it did not abandon me" in reference to Seville's loyalty during Alfonso's civil war against his son, Sancho IV.
Covering the top of the tower is the "Lily section" of the tower. This surrounds the enclosure with the bell. In this section, located near the top of the tower, each corner has a basin containing bronze lilies. Below the statue of Faith sits a dome covered with stars.
The Giralda has several sister towers. The same architect, Jabir, who built the Giralda also built similar towers in what is now Morocco. The tower of the Koutoubia Mosque in Marrakesh served as a model for the Giralda and its sister, the Hassan Tower in Rabat. Several church towers in the province of Seville also bear a resemblance to the tower, and may have been inspired by the Giralda. These towers, most notably those in Lebrija and Carmona, are popularly known as Giraldillas. Several replicas of the Giralda have been built in the United States: one, now destroyed, in Madison Square Garden in New York and another in Kansas City. The clock tower of the Ferry Building in San Francisco is also based on the Giralda. The clock tower at the University of Puerto Rico's Rio Piedras campus was also inspired by the Giralda.

La Giralda forma parte de uno de los edificios más representativos de Sevilla, la catedral, la más grande del mundo y verdadera joya del gótico y barroco.
En su día fue la torre más alta del mundo con sus 97,5 m de altura y actualmente es la torre más alta de la ciudad de Sevilla y una de las construcciones más famosas de esa ciudad y de toda Andalucía.
La torre, antiguo alminar de la mezquita almohade de Sevilla, está constituida por varios cuerpos diferenciados aunque perfectamente unidos mostrando un ejemplo perfecto de la riqueza del crisol de culturas existente en la ciudad. El cuerpo musulmán es el más antiguo, fue construido en 1184 por orden de Abu Yaqub Yusuf y para su construcción, tal y como se puede apreciar en su base, se emplearon los restos de algunos edificios y sillerías romanos. Se basó en el alminar de la mezquita Kutubia (70 metros) de Marrakech, (Marruecos) y considerada obra maestra del arte hispano-magrebí. También se la considera hermana de la gran Torre Hasan (60 metros) de Rabat.
Como curiosidad cabe destacar el hecho de que la Giralda no tiene escaleras, sino 35 rampas suficientemente anchas para permitir que el sultán subiera por ellas montado a caballo para ver la bella estampa que se divisa.
A raíz de un terremoto ocurrido en 1365 se perdió la antigua esfera original de cobre que coronaba la torre, que fue sustituida por un sencillo alminar. Posteriormente en el siglo XVI se añadió el cuerpo de campanas. Este cuerpo, a cargo del arquitecto cordobés Hernán Ruiz, fue encargado por el cabildo catedralicio con un remate en forma de estatua que representa la Fe.
Originalmente este era el nombre que tenía la figura de la Fe de más de 4 m de altura (7 con el pedestal) que corona el minarete de la catedral de Sevilla y fue instalado en 1568. El nombre de Giralda proviene de los giros que se producían en la figura con los cambios de viento, pues hace las veces de veleta. Con el paso del tiempo, ese nombre pasó a denominar al propio minarete, conociéndose la figura como el Giraldillo.
El siguiente cuerpo que tiene encima del de campanas es el cuerpo de las azucenas, que cuenta con cuatro jarras de azucenas de bronce, una en cada esquina, obras magistrales del conocido y recientemente fallecido orfebre Fernando Marmolejo Camargo, que incluso tuvo el honor de colocarlas por lo que se le conoce cariñosamente como "el prioste de la Giralda". Y encima de este existe otro cuerpo más de arquitectura renacentista formado por el cuerpo de carambolas, cuerpo de estrellas cúpula y cupulín y sobre éste la estatua de la Fe.
El 29 de diciembre de 1928, fue declarada Patrimonio Nacional; en 1987, integró la lista del Patrimonio de la Humanidad.

... and i wouldn't mind it continuing on all my shots...
i had a really bad photography day yesterday -- i was at a complete loss for direction and everything i shot felt inadequate. this is the best i could come up with -- an earring shot in the dark with a little blue led flashlight as the single source of light.

The château is the seat of the duc de Sully, Henri IV's minister Maximilien de Béthune (1560-1641), and the ducs de Sully. It is a château-fort, a true castle, built to control one of the few sites where the Loire can be forded; the site has perhaps been fortified since Gallo-Roman times, certainly since the beginning of the eleventh century.[1] In 1218, Philip Augustus constructed a cylindrical keep to the south of the present enclosure, of which buried foundations remain. Guy de la Trémoille, inheriting the fortress, undertook the construction of the "Donjon", flanked by four towers, beginning in 1395. To one side was added the Petit Château in the sixteenth century to provide more agreeable accommodation; Sully remodelled it.
Sully bought the domaine in 1602, enlarged the park and the fortress; he strengthened the embankments of the Loire to protect the town from occasional flooding.
The Château de Sully-sur-Loire remained in the possession of the family until 1962 when it became a property of the Département du Loiret, and has since benefited from numerous restorations. It hosts a classical music festival each June. The château contains numerous tapestries (including a set of six seventeenth-century hangings, the Tenture de Psyché), paintings of Sully's ancestors and heirs, and seventeenth-century furnishings. Here is also the tomb of Sully and that of his second wife.
Henri IV never visited, but Mazarin and Anne of Austria took refuge here in March 1652 during the rigors of the Fronde, France's civil war. Turenne stayed here the same year, before his defeat of the Grand Condé at the battle of Bléneau. Later, in 1716 and again in 1719 the château sheltered Voltaire, when he had been exiled from Paris for affronting the Régent, Philippe, duc d'Orléans.
Château de Sully-sur-Loire is listed as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.

"A murderer would never parade his crime in front of an open window..."
R is for Rear Window: the classic film directed by one of my favorites, Alfred Hitchcock. A thrilling taste of voyeurism, telephoto lenses, and romance between an invalid photographer and a piece of the Upper East Side's upper crust.
I thought of this shot about ten days ago, and have looked forward to it ever since. I really wanted to have a shot that was clearly inspired by one of my favorite directors and/or films, and I had great success doing it with Lost In Translation. But what sealed the deal with Rear Window was the fact that my stepfather had foot surgery and is in a cast/boot thing for six weeks. Pretty fortuitous ... plus, Jordy already did Psycho (props to him for making it funny and getting away with it), I am not even close to being able to have a scene from The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly, or No Country For Old Men and, well, those covered my favorite films by my favorite directors. I mean, okay. Yeah, I could have done the last two with a lot of time and effort, but it's not my fault the letter 'R' fell on a Monday I had work and two doctors' appointments!
I don't liken myself to Grace Kelly at all, and not just because she's blonde and infinitely more beautiful and royalty, (though those don't help) but because she is much more ladylike and, well, graceful. So ideally, this shot would be without me and in my place, a blonde and/or evidently graceful woman. However, I don't have either of those at my disposal; I was going to use my mother, since it felt a little weird (in theory) to be the Grace Kelly to my stepfather's Jimmy Stewart, but I got over it -- all for art's sake! :)
p.s. It's grainy for the old film feel -- but maybe it would be better without. Any thoughts??
p.p.s. two stills from the original movie: one and two

It is not a great photo, but it's my way to celebrate that today two years ago I quit smoking, and that has changed my life for better. I take advantage to encourage all the smokers to leave the vice, that although is difficult, it's possible. After 24 years smoking without stop, I chose the difficult walk, to leave it suddenly and without aid of nothing nor of nobody... and I can tell it.

No es una gran foto, pero es mi manera de celebrar que hoy hace dos años que dejé de fumar, y eso me ha cambiado la vida para mejor. Aprovecho para animar a todos los fumadores a dejar el vicio, que aunque es difícil es posible. Tras 24 años fumando sin parar, yo elegí el camino difícil, de golpe y sin ayuda de nada ni de nadie... y puedo contarlo.
