Captured in the morning on campus for Window and Wall Wednesday using iPhone and the black and white, square shooting, Contrast app.
I'm not really a fan of this building, but on some days I do like the way light interacts with it.
HWW to the window stalkers. Have a great rest of the week and keep safe in this cold and snowy forecast.

In Aveiro we paid our due to take the canal tour in one of their colorful boats. This picture is from that cruise of the waterways of Aveiro.
China, Xian, during the Ming dynasty, in 1370 a new city wall built surrounding the city & remains intact still today. The Xian City Wall of the ancient capital of China, also known as the fortifications of Xian enclosing a city centre area of approximately 14 square km with 18 city gates, is one of the oldest, largest, best preserved & complete Chinese city walls. The rectangle of the wall is also one of the largest & most complete ancient Military Defence Systems in the World.
After the establishment of the Ming dynasty in January 1368 in the city Nanjing, reigning 276 years, 1368–1644, the existing wall was rebuilt. Zhu Yuanzhang began to enlarge the wall, forming today's scale of the Xian City Wall, built initially during the old Tang Dynasty, 618 – 907.
The wall now stands 12 mtr heigh 12-14 mtr wide at the top, 15-18 me wide at the bottom. The north & the south wall 4,23 km each, the shorter east & the west wall of the rectangular 2,64 km each side, the wall covers 13.74 km in total length with a deep trench surrounding it. Every 120 mtr there is a flanking tower, which extends out from the main wall, altogether there are 98 ramparts. The distance between every two ramparts is just within the range of an arrow shot from either side. On the outer side of the city wall, there are 5,948 crenulations, namely battlements.
Besides the wall, the bell-& the drum tower, there are many other historic locations in & around Xian. The region is best known for the terracotta soldiers, the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor with the incredible “Qin Shi Huang Terracotta Warriors & Horses Museum” located about 35 km east of Xian.
In the city centre daily after 6 pm opens the “Muslim Food Street “with countless food shacks along the street behind the “Drum Tower”, a must when visiting Xian.

……………………………………………………………………….
All the photos I present were taken in the town of Taormina (Sicily);
I made photos related to "street photography";
I photographed people who, for the most part, I had never met before, I thank them for their sympathy and availability;
I tried to capture the essence of minimal photographic stories, collected walking down the street ... in search of fleeting moments ...
I met a lady no longer young, who told me that, when she was seven years old, she met the bandit Giuliano (!) on Mount Ziretto (a mountain that is located above Taormina, in the territory of Castelmola), in telling she looked up and pointed at him, it seemed she was seeing him at that precise moment ....! (ah! if only I had had a special camera to capture the images that at that moment were resurfacing in the mind of that very nice lady ....!), she described it and ... she saw it (!): if she remembers it tall, handsome man, boots that reached mid-leg, rifle over his shoulder ....! and then the lady added: of course, I didn't know who that man was, they told me this afterwards ....! I photographed what I believe was a small advertising shoot, thanks to the availability of the photographer and the models (thank you for giving me some of their precious time ..!).
For some photographs I used a particular photographic technique at the time of shooting, which in addition to capturing the surrounding space, also "inserted" a temporal dimension, with photos characterized by being moved because the exposure times were deliberately lengthened, they are confused -focused-imprecise-undecided ... the Anglo-Saxon term that encloses this photographic genre with a single word is "blur", these images were thus created during the shooting phase, and not as an effect created subsequently, in retrospect, in the post-production.

Tutte le foto che presento sono state realizzate nella cittadina di Taormina (Sicilia);
ho realizzato foto riconducibili alla “street photography”;
ho fotografato persone che, per la maggior parte, non avevo mai incontrato prima, le ringrazio per la loro simpatia e disponibilità;
ho cercato di cogliere al volo l’essenza di storie fotografiche minime, raccolte camminando per la strada ... alla ricerca di attimi fugaci s-fuggenti ... ho incontrato una signora non più giovane, che mi ha raccontato che, quando aveva l'età di sette anni, incontrò il bandito Giuliano (!) sul monte Ziretto (un monte che si trova sopra Taormina, nel territorio di Castelmola), nel raccontare lei guardava in alto e lo indicava, sembrava lo stesse vedendo in quel preciso momento....! (ah! se solo io avessi avuto una macchina fotografare speciale per catturare le immagini che in quel momento andavano riaffiorando nella mente di quella simpaticissima signora....!), lo descriveva e...lo vedeva (!): se lo ricorda alto, un bell'uomo, gli stivali che arrivavano a metà gamba, il fucile in spalla....! e poi la signora aggiunse: certo, io non sapevo chi fosse quell'uomo, questo me lo hanno detto dopo....! Ho fotografato quello che credo fosse un piccolo shooting pubblicitario, grazie alla disponibilità della fotografa e delle modelle (le ringrazio per avermi concesso un pò del loro prezioso tempo..!).
Ho utilizzato per alcune fotografie una tecnica fotografica particolare al momento dello scatto, che oltre a catturare lo spazio circostante, ha "inserito" anche una dimensione temporale, con foto caratterizzate dall’essere mosse poiché volutamente sono stati allungati i tempi di esposizione, sono confuse-sfocate-imprecise-indecise...il termine anglosassone che racchiude con una sola parola questo genere fotografico è "blur", queste immagini sono state così realizzate in fase di scatto, e non come un effetto creato successivamente, a posteriori, in fase di post-produzione.
