Ellis Island est située dans le Hudson River. Cette île est un des lieux les plus importants de l’histoire de l’immigration des États-Unis. Elle doit son nom à son ancien propriétaire : Samuel Ellis, ancien colon des années 1770. Elle a ensuite été rachetée par l’Etat de New York.
De 1892 à 1954, environ 12 millions d’immigrants venant principalement d’Europe sont arrivés sur l’île, dans l’espoir de passer la porte d’entrée et de vivre « l’American Dream » à New York City.
Ellis Island était alors le centre d’accueil de ces nouveaux arrivants. Les immigrés débarquaient après des dizaines de jours de voyage dans des conditions souvent assez compliquées. Ils devaient ensuite passer un examen médical, répondre à des questions administratives et légales ou encore prouver leur capacité à lire afin de pouvoir traverser « la Golden Door » (la « Porte Dorée ») et commencer à vivre leur nouvelle vie.
Au total 2% des arrivants ne passaient pas à cause de maladies ou car ils avaient commis des crimes, des vols ou autres activités compromettantes à la sécurité de la population.
L’île était d’ailleurs surnommée « The Island of Tears » (l’îles aux pleurs) à cause de ces quelques personnes qui soit mourraient sur place soit étaient obligées de retourner chez eux car ils ne remplissaient pas tous les critères pour devenir un immigré officiel aux États-Unis.
Sur l’île, il n’y a pas grand chose à voir sauf le musée national de l’Immigration – qui vous chamboulera très certainement.
Ce musée « Ellis Island National Immigration Museum » retrace toute cette partie de l’histoire du pays. Vous y découvrirez le parcours des immigrants à travers des photos de familles, des documents, objets personnels, les salles d’accueil et les salles d’examens restaurés…
Depuis 1990, ce musée permet de comprendre comment les américains accueillaient les candidats à l’immigration en filtrant en fonction de différents critères (sanitaires, intellectuels ou juridiques…)
Au premier étage se trouve les anciennes salles d’enregistrement. C’était ici que les immigrés se faisaient questionner et inspecter leurs documents. Les américains faisaient des contrôles médicaux pour s’assurer qu’ils n’avaient pas de maladies contagieuses. Ils vérifiaient leurs origines, s’ils avaient assez d’argent pour vivre, s’ils savaient lire… Les contrôles pouvaient prendre des heures.
Au deuxième étage, vous verrez principalement les dortoirs. En effet, l’entrée aux États-Unis ne se faisaient pas forcément en une journée. Les plus aisés qui étaient venus en 1ère ou 2ème classe et qui n’avaient pas de problème de santé passaient au maximum 5 heures à Ellis Island. Pour les plus pauvres, ils devaient parfois y passer des jours voire des semaines pour s’assurer qu’ils ne seraient des dangers pour la population américaine.
Katjenka said: "Show me a picture has particularly moved you on, a picture touches you from the bottom of your heart up to this night." I did it, and showed her this one from this year. "Now out with it!", these are her words.
It is from the days after the ascension, in a place of small pilgrimages. There were three of us and we ´ve had a good time. Yes, the weather wasn´ t our friend and played its own role. But there were things are much more important. May those times never be in question.
For the freaks: main thing was ColasRail BR232-408 owned by Skinest Rail A.S. and on left ID´s BR232-502 was still waiting for keep up her(!) load by / out of the yard.

Κατά τύχη είδα σε κάποιο κανάλι ένα αφιέρωμα στον “Μύλο των ξωτικών”
Ακούγοντας την χαζοχαρούμενη διάθεση κάποιου “υπευθύνου” να δηλώνει ότι εφέτος προσδοκούμε να ξεπεράσουμε τον περσινό αριθμό των 1.200.000 επισκεπτών(!!!),μου γεννήθηκαν κάποιες σκέψεις τις οποίες θα μεταφέρω γνωρίζοντας ότι ρίχνω λίγες σταγόνες στον ωκεανό του διαδικτύου:
1)Τελικά είμαστε παντοιοτρόπως ΝΟΥΜΕΡΑ
2) Το περίφημο αυτό “θεματικό” πάρκο τι ΘΕΜΑ έχει;
3) Αν έχει πάντως τα Χριστούγεννα,είναι καταφανώς εκτός θέματος εφόσον τίποτα απολύτως σ’αυτό το καταναλωτικό κιτς συνονθύλευμα δεν έχει την παραμικρή σχέση με την έλευση του Χριστού στον κόσμο μέσα σε άκρα ταπείνωση και φτώχεια.
4) Όλες οι ανά τους αιώνες δικτατορίες την ίδια αλάνθαστη μέθοδο ελέγχου των μαζών
(και όχι βέβαια συνειδητοποιημένων λαών) χρησιμοποιούν: “άρτο και θεάματα”
By chance I saw on a channel a tribute to "The Elf Mill".
Hearing the cheerful disposition of a “manager” to say that this year we expect to surpass last year's 1,200,000 visitors (!!!), I have some thoughts to share that I know will throw a few drops into the internet ocean:
1) Finally we are all numbered
2) What theme does this famous theme park have?
3) If it is Christmas anyway, it is obviously out of the question since nothing in this consumer kit patch has anything to do with Christ's coming into the world in extreme humility and poverty.
4) All dictatorships over the centuries have the unmistakable same method of controlling the masses
(and not of course conscious peoples) use: "bread and spectacles"
The story of the very important industrial heritage monument has been mentioned in a previous post

My love is in league with the freeway
Its passion will ride, as the cities fly by
And the tail-lights dissolve, in the coming of night
And the questions in thousands take flight
My love is the miles and the waiting
The eyes that just stare, and the glance at the clock
And the secret that burns, and the pain that won't stop
And its fuel is the years
Leading me on - leading me down the road
Driving beyond
Driving me down the road.
Ogni tanto mi piace usare il tele (200mm) per catturare i treni, l'effetto prospettico non è niente male ;-)
Question : S'agit-il d'une scène de rue ou d'une sainte scène ?
...En tout cas, ce ne sera pas la dernière.

I like Steveston Harbour because I can always find my favorite reflection.
Have a great Friday and weekend!
This is an archive picture and below is the original story posted.
It is close to the end of year. The new year of rabbit starts on Thursday.
This is time for reflection.
Did I have too much fun with my Fuji compact?
Did I do too many panoramas lately?
Did I do too many infrareds?
Should I take more color shots?
Best wishes to my Flickr friends in the new year and hope everybody is getting more great pictures!
Reflection shot in Steveston taken with my Fuji point & shoot again in the weekend.
Elle rassemble les corps de 2208 soldats, dont 577 inconnus. La bataille de Morhange dont il est question s'est déroulée du 19 au 20 août 1914 et fit plus de 8000 morts.
Spring is in the Air! My first butterfly capture of 2023. This Question Mark flitted around to several spots before I was able to get a nice angle shot.
Je n'ai pas boudé mon plaisir de photographier sous toutes les coutures cette fresque murale sur le thème de la Commune de Paris, rue de la ferme Savy (où furent situées les dernières barricades), au bas du parc de Belleville à Paris. Une fresque réalisée à l'occasion des 150 ans de la Commune par l'artiste Question Mark (projet des Amies et Amis de la Commune)
Why go to school if you won't listen to the educated? I thought that was an excellent question.
I continue to be disappointed that children in the Untied States remain relatively silent while children in Europe are fighting for our existence. That is one of those things that clearly shows how manipulated we are.
Fantastic Friday to you my friend.
Question:
Is model release needed from the person captured in street shots which are not used commercially?
There was a street shot posted by my nephew: HERE. The person captured in the photo was pretty furious with that post and requested to have it removed from his Flickr site.
My nephew has removed it from his photostream out of respect for her.
I hope to take this opportunity to seek your opinion about our right in terms of photographing human subject on the street.
What do they call that guy who hangs off the side of the boat?
Oh, yeah. Bait.

Today I will answer the most popular questions. And if you do not find your question in the list, write in the comments 💬 I will be happy to answer everyone.
⠀
Where is the best place to hold a photo shoot?
Places for a photo shoot are always discussed and selected exclusively from your wishes. For bad weather, you can always use a photo studio.
Do you
give clothes for a photo shoot?
I do not provide clothing, but I can help you choose the necessary option.
⠀
We are not models, do you help on the shoot?
Of course😉. I always tell you how best to put your foot, hand, and where to look after all. You don't have to worry. The main task for you is to relax, and I will also help you with this.
⠀
When will we get our photos?
It all depends on the workload of me, the photographer. But usually I always say срок when the photos are ready.

While editing this shot of a Common Grackle, my first thought was of phrase that my granddaughter said often while in her two’s. When she needed you to repeat what you had said she would pivot in your direction, tighten her brow and sweetly ask “Wa-you-say,” as if it were a single word. This phrase made us laugh and warmed our hearts every time! I often thought it should be her Indian name…if she were Indian.
Now that she is a much more mature three, she has refined her speech and I haven’t heard it for a while. I have no doubt that my wife and I will use it the rest of our lives.
Taken at J. Percy Priest Lake, Nashville TN on 09 May, 2022.
Well, strictly speaking this scene is a sunset, so one could question the title and the attached meaning... But it was a radiant Umbrian sunset just after a long, powerful thunderstorm, so I will stick to my idea.
As the WHO has declared the state of pandemic Covid-19 is spreading everywhere and is reaping its dreadful harvest, bringing whole nations and economies to their knees. Believe me, it is even possible that the darkest hour is still to come. But I think that this incredible planetary experience has the potential to change our way to live. We have taken for granted too many beautiful, precious things (and beware, when you take something for granted you are lessening it). This humble, unaware virus is teaching us values we had drowned in our running digital hedonism - solidarity, self-sacrifice, collaboration. It is teaching us the fundamental value of truth and of scientific research. It is reminding us that we are just a small part of a wonderfully complex world - and that we are not nearly as powerful as we like to think to be. After all, the immediate means to limit infection are exactly the same as they were for the epidemics of the past - quarantine, avoiding close contact with one another, clean your hands frequently, limitations to gatherings, public events, and so on (and everything is worsened and sped up by our global network of transportation). On the other hand science, unavoidably, needs time to find real solutions. So we are experiencing a new sense of being frail - something we used to think of as a relic of the past.
I believe that this pandemic will change everything, more than a war: this is not an enemy endowed with evil projects for mankind but, rather, a natural phenomenon which is putting us in the right perspective in the world. So I believe that this pandemic will change everything. But, in the meantime, we have to manage to get out of these dark times. I would like to dedicate this photo to the people who are suffering because of this ordeal, and to the heroic people who is wrestling with the effects of the infection*: my humble contribute to remember that the darkest hour - whenever it will come - is just before the dawn.
* Sadly in Italy we have seen a growing trend of threats and assaults to physicians during the last years. Many people doubted the good faith of physicians, scientists and medicine in general. I'd guess that this tide is quickly changing.
This photo is closely related to my A neverending story. To be precise, it has been captured some 5 minutes earlier. This view, however, is somewhat narrower and, after a bit of cropping in the foreground, lays a greater emphasis on the glorious cloudscape.
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.7/0/+1.7 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4. RAW files has been processed with Darktable.
A good contribution to the post-processing of part of the foreground came from a cool trick by Boris Hajdukovic I have found rather serendipitously on the web. I have cloned out an obnoxious young olive tree at the center of the foreground dancing a bit too freely in the residual wind.
I am afraid that colours and tones of this picture might be pretty close to the edge of looking overdone (this seems to be an inherent feature of the bracketings I captured of this sunset, since I always post-process from scratch). It all depends on your screen, of course: the picture looks safely good my HP screen, but I am afraid that it can easily look a bit over-the-top on other screens.
Now we know that a picture cannot possibly look right on every screen - the factors affecting the results are simply too many, including largely unpredictable ones, such as personal display settings. Admittedly one should not think too much about this, but when a photo is close to the critical boundary one should struggle to find the better balance between what she would like the photo to be and the risk of looking overdone. Since this photo is important to me, I would be grateful for comments about this matter, to help me realise if I have to downtone it :-)
Thank you very much in advance!
I have to sell some photos at my church fall fair, and I have a question for which I would appreciate any and all feedback:
I'm going to print 5"x7" photos and put them in mats. the question is: For a church fair where I don't think people are going to be willing to spend lots of money, should I just have them machine printed and keep the price at $10 each, or should I get them printed at $7 each, and then charge $15 each?
what do you think???????

Taken this morning while scouting out waterfalls with my daughter. We came upon this ridge and this was the scene across the way.

"any questions?" Defender of the Realm. if you've ever met a mockingbird, you know what this is about. he's "da man"... ;)
lots of folks don't appreciate this fine feathered fellow, even folks that call themselves birders and claim to luv the members of Class Aves. these guys are birds that everyone needs to cultivate an appreciation for, 'cuz they're among a small handful of bird species that can adapt and survive in stupid human landscapes. their tenacious defense of their hime turf is admirable at the very least. they're just being mockingbirds, and they're pretty damn good at it. ;)

Huh, 30/52 was hard - spent several days in Moravia which was pretty exhausting (a lot of celebrating etc ;-)) and all of sudden I realized it was Sunday and I forgot about 52 weeks....Then my french fries were ready and idea appeared ;-)
And tomorrow work, gosh I want to be back in the USA - a carefree and fabulous time I had there ;-)
