St. Paul the Apostle is a very revered saint in the Sicilian town of Palazzolo Acreide, the feast in his honor is celebrated on two occasions (very important periods if referring to peasant civilization), on 29 June (the day I took this photo story this year 2025) date of his martyrdom, and January 25, the date of his conversion to Christianity. The "summer party" of June 29, begins with a particular collection of donut-shaped bread (in Sicilian called "cuddura"), donated by the villagers and collected on a cart, this is the "round of bread", these loaves (called "di San Paolo") have decorations that recall snakes: the reference is always to San Paolo, considered the protector from the poisonous bites of vipers, this is the ancestral legacy of an ancient peasant civilization, the wheat harvest period that coincides with the feast, it makes working in sunburnt fields particularly dangerous; once there were characters to whom supernatural gifts were attributed, they were called "ciarauli", capable of protecting from the venomous bites of the viper (This year, a very nice man of Palazzolo Acreide, who was also present last year, was present at the feast to recall these ancient figures. Instead of little snakes, as was once the custom, he had with him a very calm python, also because it was full). The procession takes the name of "sciuta", with reference to the "exit" from the basilica of San Paolo of two floats, first the float comes out with the relic of the saint, carried on the shoulders by the devotees, immediately after, at 13.00 o'clock the exit of the float takes place with the ancient statue of Saint Paul holding a sword in his hand (the iconography represents him with the sword for two reasons, he was beheaded with a sword stroke, and because he, referring to the word of God, defined it more effective and sharper than a double-bladed sword), at this point they begin among the most spectacular and evocative pyrotechnic games that I have ever seen, we witness a phantasmagoric and kaleidoscopic explosion of colors made with enormous colored confetti and with colored ribbons about two meters long called 'nzareddi, which recall the shape and movement of snakes. During the procession we witness the rite of children who, often completely naked, are taken by their parents by the expert hands of two devotees present on the float, they are thus placed in front of St. Paul to ask for his intercession and protection, sometimes these children are adorned with paper money, in fact, the donation of money is part of the rites that accompany the procession. Among these rites is the vow of the "bare shoulder" made by devout bearers, and that of women who walk barefoot by vow. The procession with the two floats then arrives, as a sign of devotion, in the church of the Annunziata.
San Paolo Apostolo è un santo molto venerato nel paese siciliano di Palazzolo Acreide, la festa in suo onore viene celebrata in due occasioni (periodi molto importanti se riferiti alla civiltà contadina), il 29 giugno (giorno in cui ho realizzato quest’anno 2025 questo foto-racconto) data del suo martirio, ed il 25 gennaio, data della sua conversione al cristianesimo. La “festa estiva” del 29 giugno, inizia con una particolare raccolta di pane a forma di ciambella (in siciliano detta “cuddura”), donato dai paesani e raccolto su di un carretto, questo è il “giro del pane”, questi pani (detti “di San Paolo”) presentano delle decorazioni che richiamano i serpenti: il riferimento è sempre a San Paolo, ritenuto il protettore dai morsi velenosi delle vipere, questo è il retaggio ancestrale di un’antica civiltà contadina, il periodo della mietitura che coincide con la festa, rende particolarmente pericoloso il lavoro nei campi arsi dal sole; una volta esistevano dei personaggi a cui si attribuivano doti sovrannaturali, erano chiamati “ciarauli”, capaci di proteggere dai morsi velenosi della vipera (quest’anno era presente nella festa, a rievocare queste antiche figure, un simpaticissimo Palazzolese, presente anche l'anno scorso, che al posto delle bisce, come si usava una volta, aveva con se un docilissimo pitone, anche perchè satollo). La processione prende il nome di “sciuta”, con riferimento alla “uscita” dalla basilica di San Paolo di due vare, dapprima esce la vara con la reliquia del santo, portata in spalla dai devoti, subito dopo, alle 13,00 in punto avviene l’uscita della vara con l’antica statua di San Paolo che stringe una spada in pugno (l’iconografia lo rappresenta con la spada per due motivi, egli fu decapitato con un colpo di spada, e perché egli, riferendosi alla parola di Dio, la definiva più efficace e più tagliente di una spada a doppia lama), a questo punto iniziano tra i più spettacolari e suggestivi giochi pirotecnici che io che io abbia mai visto, si assiste ad una fantasmagorica e caleidoscopica esplosione di colori realizzati con enormi coriandoli colorati e con dei nastri colorati lunghi circa due metri chiamati ‘nzareddi, che richiamano la forma ed il movimento dei serpenti. Durante la processione si assiste al rito dei bambini che, molto spesso completamente nudi, vengono presi dai genitori dalle esperte mani di due devoti presenti sulla vara, vengono così messi al cospetto di San Paolo a chiederne la sua intercessione e protezione, a volte questi bimbi sono adornati con della carta moneta, infatti la donazione di denaro fa parte dei riti che accompagnano la processione. Tra questi riti c’è il voto della “spalla nuda” fatto dai devoti portatori, e quello delle donne che per voto camminano scalze. La processione con le due vare giunge poi, in segno di devozione, nella chiesa dell’Annunziata.

One of the beautifully restored carriages on the Kent and East Sussex Railway receives some attention during the station stop
And my third and final outfit in this fun little shoot. This was another skirt I shortened, that very same morning along with the grey pleated school skirt.
It was a satin midi skirt, but I never wore it because I have a number of faux leather skirts in the same style that I much prefer.
So, I thought a nice little skater skirt could be made out of it instead. It's guaranteed to get more wears that way ;-)
As with the grey skirt, I went for a length just under 14". I could have gone shorter, but I think this is a more appropriate length for wearing out when the pubs open again.

Another Monochrome Monday offering this time from deep in the cane fields with a little mini 'street running' bonus!
In this lengthy post I shared a photo of the first Miami Canal crossing and some history of the canal and the railroad. If you're interested and missed it check out this image and caption: flic.kr/p/2nhFswT
Later that same day we are now at the second of the three rail crossings of the canal about 3.5 miles south deep in the middle of the sugar cane fields. My girlfriend did some excellent driving on the remote dusty private roads that lace the fields as I navigated via satellite imagery to find our way to assorted cane loaders, junctions and bridges as we hunted for trains in a massive area of fields equal to nearly half the area of our home state of Rhode Island!
This was one spot I really wanted to see as it is one of two 'street running' shared road/rail bridges found along the private US Sugar Railroad rails. Given my passion for 'trains in streets' as my gf likes to say this definitely counts in my quest to document those obscure locations 'where trains shouldn't be.'
While this bridge is shorter than the other one further east past Bryant Yard, this is very busy as it is on the new mainline through route that was opened in late 2021 when the Wetherald Line was extended east with 22 miles of new track and bridges to connect to the old Prewitt South Line. This created a 60 mile long private mainline connecting both halves of the USSC routes and eliminated the need for many of the Bryant Turns that were operated by thr SCFE to forward cane cars gathered on the eastern lines to the mill on the west.
This crossing is at MP 12 on the new 60 mile long contiguous USSC Clewiston Main. In addition to the pair of light units I shot here headed west we also saw two eastbound empty trains. This one is flying out toward a leader somewhere in the vast fields behind USSC 505 a rebuilt GP40-2 that began life as a straight GP40 originally blt. Jan. 1967 as Seaboard Air Line 642. After serving successors SCL, SBD, and CSXT it was retired and rebuilt with HEP and classified as a RP39-2C and spend nearly a decade hauling Virginia Railway Express commuter trains before another rebuild and a third life here in the cane fields.

La première d’une longue série de sorties extravéhiculaires s’est déroulée hier pour connecter et continuer l’installation de MLM. Oleg et Piotr ont eu une très, très longue journée. Ils ont commencé à se préparer à 6h30, et après une courte pause déjeuner sont sortis de la Station à 14h41 pour n’y revenir qu’à 22h35 😳 En tant que 3e membre de l’équipage Soyouz, c’est souvent Mark qui aide sur le segment 🇷🇺 - en plus il est très doué et il parle plutôt bien le russe. Aki est venu donner un coup de main aussi, et en tant que photographe officiel ™ de la Station (oui c’est mon titre maintenant), je suis passé immortaliser la scène. La prochaine sortie est prévue jeudi pour Oleg et Piotr, il en reste environ une dizaine…!
It was the first of many spacewalks to connect and finish installing MLM, and Oleg and Pyotr had a long, long day yesterday. They started at 6:30 our time to prepare for the spacewalk, had a short lunch break, left the Station at 14:41 and returned at 22:35 spending almost eight hours outside! Mark, as the third crewmember of the Soyuz, was the one helping out on the Russian segment. He speaks great Russian and has all the skills, Aki was here to help out as well, and me to take pictures as usual (I’ve become the Expedition’s official photographer it seems). Oleg and Pyotr are scheduled to do the same again on Thursday, around ten more spacewalks are planned for MLM/Nauka installation!

as in honestly doc, I wasn't snorkelling.. I'd left the camera/underwater housing, mask and fins at home so I wouldn't be tempted but it was very hot and so I went for a paddle.
I saw quite a number of species including a big eel and these tiny blue fish.

Third Day
Oh Immaculate Heart of Mary, Mother of Jesus and Our Mother, we pray and we hope that the promise made by you at Fatima will soon be realized. Our kirk and kin made the supreme sacrifice, and our loved ones languished in the horror and hardships that came upon a world at war. We know that it is your ardent wish and desire that there be peace in the world, and it is only through reparation to your Immaculate Heart that such can be accomplished. You have told us your wish in the message of Fatima: Reparation through the Rosary and the practice of First Saturdays. We beg of you, Oh Mary immaculate, that through your pleadings, our prayers and example may show the world the road to the true peace which the world itself cannot give. Bless, we beseech thee, our country, and inspire us and our leaders to receive, understand, and promote that glorious message delivered by you at Fatima.
Our Lady of Fatima, Queen of Peace, inflame our hearts with the love of Reparation.
