#5_MobilePhone_ICM_GeneralPostProcessing_Bluristic App
May 8, 2023: Ute Trading Post neon sign in Manitou Springs, Colorado. One source on the internet says the sign is from 1934. The actual trading post has been closed for years. I used the Bluristic App on my iPhone for about a 3-second exposure. The app allows me to lock one section of the image in place and blur the rest.

I dont usually post anything on my blog, but I wanted to share this. Everything was fine a few months back. Then I started noticing that when I washed my hair, more and more of it would come out. I finally went to a dermatologist who diagnosed me with alopecia areata. I have dealt with hair loss before, but this time it was much more dramatic and much more noticable. I have gone through a huge range of emotions, anger, disgust, sadness,empowerment, acceptance, and back again. Tomorrow, I am going in to have the rest of what is left, shaved off. I went in two weeks ago to have just the sides done, but now the front is falling out. I dont know if I will let it grow back a third time. Each time is more devastating then the last. I havent been blogging that much lately, and this is one of the reasons why. This post is very special to me, because last week was my 6 year blog anniversary, and because of all of this, I missed it. But tomorrow starts a new chapter in my life.
El humilladero de Los Cuatro Postes es un monumento religioso situado en la ciudad de Ávila. Está formado por cuatro columnas dóricas de cinco metros de altura sobre cuyos capiteles se asientan otros tantos arquitrabes con las armas de la ciudad; en el centro del cuadrado formado por las columnas, sobre una peana, se erige una cruz de granito.
Según cuenta la tradición, en el año 1157 los abulenses organizaron una romería a la ermita de San Leonardo (actualmente desaparecida), próxima a Narrillos, en rogativa por la desaparición de la peste que azotaba la comarca. Aprovechando la ausencia de la mayor parte de la población, los musulmanes atacaron la ciudad llevándose todo lo que había en ella de valor. Para perseguirles, los regidores Nuño Rabia y Gómez Acedo organizaron una partida, de la que una parte de sus integrantes se separó para regresar a la seguridad de la villa. Cuando tras derrotar a los musulmanes volvieron a Ávila, encontraron que los que se habían separado del grupo habían cerrado las murallas, y exigían parte del botín para aceptar a los recién llegados. Enterado el rey Sancho III de Castilla, acudió a Ávila, expulsó a los de dentro y les condenó a vivir extramuros, sin títulos de nobleza ni privilegios; algunos de estos se expatriaron y marcharon a Ciudad Rodrigo, que el rey Fernando II de León estaba repoblando tras su reconquista. El concejo de Ávila decidió que la romería a San Leonardo se repitiese anualmente, y para descanso de las autoridades se construyó en el trayecto el humilladero de los Cuatro Postes.
El monumento actual data del año 1566, cuando el corregidor Rodrigo Dávila contrató con el maestro cantero Francisco de Arellano la construcción del "humilladero de la puente del Adaja", que incluía una escultura de San Sebastián y un tejadillo. La cruz fue repuesta en 1995, después de que resultara destrozada en un acto de vandalismo.
Según la tradición fue aquí donde, siendo niños, Teresa de Jesús y su hermano Rodrigo fueron detenidos por su tío cuando proyectaban viajar a tierras de infieles para morir martirizados8 y donde la santa, quitándose las sandalias, pronunció la famosa frase "De Ávila, ni el polvo".
«Desde los Cuatro Postes
Ávila sueña
y en su sábana blanca
se despereza».

Relaxing after 9 holes on a very windy afternoon!
Our house is an easy three-block
stroll from the ocean. Perfectly situated for a quick walk on the beach, close to restaurants and coffee shops and an easy drive to the outlets.
Wherever and however we all spent our days, it was always wonderful to come "home", see each other and talk about our outings, enjoy a drink and snacks on the porch, and watch the world go by. There's precious little opportunity for that kind of relaxed pace in my everyday life, so occasions like this take on a very special meaning.
Just a fence post but a wonderful pattern caused by the growth rings and the spitting radiating from the centre.

Awhile back I was challenged to do a painting of a post-apocalyptic Seattle. Instead of doing the very typical zombies and war torn landscape, I went a different route and imagined what it would be like to do a prettier and more serene image. With Seattle being in an earthquake and volcanic zone, I figured it would more likely sink into the ocean than get ravaged by zombies. Here we have the same painting with and without text overlays. Your questions and comments are always welcome. Enjoy.
