Meet Bessy, the keeper of this 1964 Kombi Transporter!

 

Don't let these cute looks and big happy smile fool you . . . every time I spoke to Bessy or went near her she snarled at me, Stuart her owner admitting she she's getting a little old and grumpy!

 

Still . . . snarls and grumpiness aside when I pointed the camera at her she was all smiles and very adorable!

 

I met Bessy and Stuart at them at Cafe Dak Dak a few weeks back!

 

The detail picture featured here appears on the passenger side of Stuart's wonderful Kombi too! He's lucky enough to have two of these, this one and a beautifully restored 1966 Kombi which I am yet to feature valued at over $65,000.

 

Speaking of the value of Kombi's, a fully restored 1960,

23 window Kombi Samba Bus was auctioned here in Melbourne tonight . . . it was priced to sell between $120-140k but tonight sold for a whopping $202k . . . amazing! You can check it out here:

SN/NC: Alcantarea Imperialis, Bromeliaceae Family

 

Imperial bromeliad is a herbaceous plant, rube, of great proportions and high ornamental value. It is atemle, with long and wide leaves, coriaceous, with a snare surface, arranged in rosette and forming a "pot" in the center of the plant, where it accumulates water and nutrients. Its roots are strong, fibrous and lend themselves not only to plant nutrition, but mainly to its strong fixation on the substrate, so this bromeliad is fixed even on vertical rock walls. It is risky of being extinct. Its beauty call everyone’s attention including also birds (especially the hummingbirds) and bees.

i love this place,tøyenbadet, where i go for my not so regular swim.

the place is practically stacked with 70-80's memorabilia,and has this inherent charm that is becoming to a place that has remained unchanged for the last 30 years.

 

the last time i went swimming, i ended up behind an old lady with a hairnet,who left this unmistakeable taste of hairspray in the water.

distasteful one might say, but i kinda just closed my eyes, and drifted behind her,

and suddenly all these half-gone memories of friendly neighbors with their tea and cupcakes re-entered my mind..

 

and i somehow had an instantaneous feeling of "home".

 

so after years of detachment i'm finally rediscovering the innocent feeling of childlike safety..in a swimming-pool. filled with aerosol..

 

my therapist is going to kill me for this..

 

So I just heard back from a local gallery that wants to show my work. I had just about given up that I would ever hear a thing. Super pleased. It will be my first.

 

Oh and i just realized, today is my one year flickrversary. Hooray! Flickrpeople, you rock!!!!

The City Hall building, aside from its architectural and artistic value, reflects the image of Lisboa and of Liberal, Regenerating and Republican Portugal. Several important events in our history, such as the Proclamation of the Republic in October 5th 1910, were deeply associated to this building.

After the 1755 earthquake, during the Pombal reconstruction, the City Hall building was built in its present location, according to an architectural project signed by architect Eugénio dos Santos Carvalho, which was completely destroyed by a fire in November 19th 1863.

A new building was then built in the same place, between 1865 and 1880, based on an architectural project by the city architect of the time Domingues Parente da Silva, while the plan for the finishing of the façade was modified by a decision of Engineer Ressano Garcia, responsible for the Technical Services of the City, thus creating the large classical fronton with sculptor decorations by French sculptor Anatole Calmels. In the interior the intervention of architect José Luís Monteiro stands out, mainly in the central staircase, as well as in the rich painting decoration made by several artists, among whom it is worth highlighting José Pereira Júnior (Pereira Cão), Columbano and Malhoa. The building as a whole reveals the intervention of quite a wide number of personalities, both at architectural and constructive level, as well as at decorative level, showing quite high quality aesthetics and innovation.

Italien / Trentino - Pala Gruppe

 

On the way to Rifugio Pradidali

 

Auf dem Weg zum Rifugio Pradidali

 

The Pala group (also known as Pale di San Martino) is the largest massif of the Dolomites, with about 240 km² of surface, located between eastern Trentino and Veneto (province of Belluno), in the area between Primiero (valleys of Cismon, Canali, Travignolo), Valle del Biois (Falcade, Canale d'Agordo) and Agordino.

 

In the central sector of the group, discovered by the Marquis Déodat Gratet de Dolomieu in 1788, consisting of dolomite, a sedimentary rock formed by double calcium carbonate and magnesium, extends the plateau, on an area of about 50 km², forming a huge empty space, rocky and almost lunar that fluctuates between 2500 and 2800 m above sea level.

 

The part of the group extended in Trentino is entirely included in the Paneveggio — Pale di San Martino Nature Park. According to some sources, the group inspired the Belluno writer Dino Buzzati (a great lover of the chain) in the setting of his novel "The Tartar Steppe". Due to the exceptional universal value of this natural beauty, the geological system of the Pale is included in the site "The Dolomites", declared in 2009 a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Die Palagruppe (italienisch Pale di San Martino oder Gruppo delle Pale) ist eine Dolomitengruppe im Grenzgebiet der italienischen Provinzen Belluno und Trient. Die Trentiner Teile der Gruppe gehören zum Parco Naturale Paneveggio – Pale di San Martino. Seit 2009 ist die Palagruppe Teil des UNESCO-Welterbes Dolomiten.

 

Lage

 

Die Palagruppe liegt zwischen den Tälern des Biois im Norden, des Cordevole im Osten und des Cismon im Südwesten (Primör), im Nordwesten liegt der Passo Rolle, im Norden der Vallespass und südöstlich der Passo Cereda.

 

Charakteristik

 

Die Palagruppe ist ein Klettergebiet mit bekannten Kletterbergen, die Gipfel reichen über die Dreitausendermarke. Schroffe Felsgipfel wie der Cimon della Pala kontrastieren mit der ausgedehnten Hochfläche des Altopiano delle Pale. Der Dolomiten-Höhenweg Nr. 2 durchquert die Pala von Nord nach Süd vom Vallespass zum Passo Cereda. Einige der bekanntesten Klettersteige der Dolomiten finden sich in der Pala, wie z. B. die Via Ferrata Bolver-Lugli oder die Via Ferrata Stella Alpina (Monte Agnèr). Der Ring um die Pala di San Martino umrundet die zentrale Pala vom Rif. Rosetta über den Passo di Ball zum Rif. Pradidali und zurück über den Passo Pradidali und den Altopiano delle Pale.

The 1924 Azzorre Crisis proved to Montefalco the value of a fast cruiser fleet. In that war, Montefalco relied on two heavy cruiser classes, the two Lusa-class cruisers and the upgraded Omerta-class. A decade after the war, the mass-produced Omertas were beginning to show their age, so the Principale Marina commissioned an update to remain competitive with the newest Valparaisan designs. Naval planners quickly decided to disregard the tonnage limitations of the Eiswald Naval treaty, lengthening the ship by roughly 15 meters for greater seakeeping and speed.

 

The designers retained the hullform and the below-decks protected torpedo launchers from the Omerta, but replaced the tripod masts with more modern superstructures. They replaced the 4x2 8" turrets with updated 3x3 8" main armament, enabling an extra gun to fire broadside. An alternate design featured a fourth turret in the rear, for a total of 12 main guns, but this caused the ship to sit too low in the water, so the fourth turret was removed and replaced with a spacious seaplane hanger. The rear turret can rotate 360 degrees in order to improve its firing arcs and traverse. Aramaic engineers who visited the shipyard during construction also noted a beneficial side effect of this design: the turret serves as a stable base to rotate the ship's crane. The crane can thus lift scout planes from the hanger to the catapult and from the water to the hanger, as well as easily handling dinghies and lifeboats. Finally, the new design has greatly increased AA armament, incorporating ten quadruple 40mm turrets and 3x2 3" heavy AA according to Oyashimese designs. The Principale Marina named the class Puglia, after a province of southern Montefalco known for its combative inhabitants. The first Puglia-class launched in 1936, to great acclaim.

Curbar is a village in the Derbyshire Dales district of Derbyshire, England.[1][2] Curbar is situated a mile north of Baslow, close to Calver on the A623.

 

The village has a street (Bar Road) with the highest average house value in Derbyshire.[citation needed] Close to the east are the popular rock-climbing escarpments of Curbar Edge and Baslow Edge. To the west of the village is the River Derwent. The parish church is dedicated to All Saints. Immediately to the south of the church stands Curbar Primary School, which serves the three villages of Curbar, Calver and Froggatt. The school is the custodian of an old May custom known as the Maybough. On the first of May, or as soon as possible thereafter, a tree-branch is brought into school and decorated with flowers given by the children. The Maybough is taken to various points in Curbar and Calver, where it is displayed to the accompaniment of songs and a dance which is particular to the occasion. The event is popular with both villagers, visitors and parents. Several attempts have been made to ascertain the origin of the Maybough, so far unsuccessfully. The only fact that is certain, is that the event was originally performed by the villagers rather than the school, the switchover taking place around the time of the First World War.

Sonata concentrates on seeing rather than looking. In our waking-state, we look at things all the time but consciously unless chosen to do we make the effort to see. This on-going series concentrates on the elements of design ; color, line, shape texture form and pattern. Each image composes of a singular point of interest to achieve photographic satisfaction. Here the visible, mundane & overlooked has its moment.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

 

Chance Nkosi Gomez known initiated by H.H Swami Jyotirmayanda as Sri Govinda walks an integral yogic path in which photography is the primary creative field of expression. The medium was introduced during sophomore year of high school by educator Dr. Devin Marsh of Robert Morgan Educational Center. Coming into alignment with light, its nature and articulating the camera was the focus during that time. Thereafter while completing a Photographic Technology Degree, the realization of what made an image “striking” came to the foreground of the inner dialogue. These college years brought forth major absorption and reflection as an apprentice to photographer and educator Tony A. Chirinos of Miami Dade College. The process of working towards a singular idea of interest and thus building a series became the heading from here on while the camera aided in cultivating an adherence to the present moment. The viewfinder resembles a doorway to the unified field of consciousness in which line, shape, form, color, value, texture all dissolve. It is here that the yogi is reminded of sat-chit-ananda (the supreme reality as all-pervading; pure consciousness). As of May 2024 Govinda has completed his 300hr yoga teacher training program at Sattva Yoga Academy studying from Master Yogi Anand Mehrotra in Rishikesh, India, Himalayas. This has strengthened his personal Sadhana and allows one to carry and share ancient Vedic Technology leading others in ultimately directing their intellect to bloom into intuition. As awareness and self-realization grows so does the imagery that is all at once divine in the mastery of capturing and controlling light. Over the last seven years he has self-published six photographic books, Follow me i’ll be right behind you (2017), Sonata - Minimal Study (2018), Birds Singing Lies (2018), Rwanda (2019), Where does the body begin? (2019) & Swayam Jyotis (2023). Currently, Govinda is employed at the Leica Store Miami as a camera specialist and starting his journey as a practitioner of yoga ॐ

Long exposure using the Hoya ND1000. Missed focus as it was too dark through the filter and was seriously running out of time so I couldn’t take it off and readjust. Sharing it cause it has sentimental value to me as a close friend of mine passed away at his home near this spot. RIP Liam

Nourlangie Rock (Burrunggui)

Burrunggui (sometimes spelled Burrunguy, previously called Nourlangie Rock) is located in an outlying sandstone formation of the Arnhem Land Escarpment within the Kakadu National Park which is in the Northern Territory of Australia. It is the traditional Country of the Gun-djeihmi speaking people and according to Traditional Owners, was shaped by Ancestral beings in the creation period of the Dreaming. It was included on the World Heriatage Register. Kakadu National Park is included on UNESCO the World Heritage List due to its exceptional natural and cultural values.

Europeans were first in the area of Noulangie Rock in about 1845, after Ludwig Leichhardt’s explorations passed through the area. By the 1880s, European buffalo and buffalo shooters had moved into the area, and local Traditional Owners joined their shooting parties. Traditional owners told the buffalo shooters about the Dreaming stories at Burrungui and the many names of all the natural features of the landscapes. Chaloupka argues that the Europeans couldn’t remember all of the names, and called the area ‘Nourlangie’, a confused pronunciation of the name of the area generally called ‘Nawulandja’.

There are a number of shelters in amongst this large outcrop. The shelters contain amazing paintings that represent the Aboriginal Dreaming, with depictions of Namandi spirits, both male and female figures and one with six fingers on each hand. Many paintings in the Burrungui area also depict European items and introduced animals. Pigments are mostly of yellow, white and red ochre, with red ochre being used as a chalk to draw on the rock surface in some places. Early art at the site is evidenced in handprints on the rock in red pigment, or gars being flung on the rock. The paintings at Burrungui are in the Mimi and x-ray style, with Mimi being older and representative of Dreaming Ancestral beings. There are even depictions of Thylacines (Tasmanian Tigers), known to have been extinct in the area for at least 3,500 years. Superimpositioning of many animals such as kangaroos layered over one another, assist in the establishment of a temporal sequence at the site, however there appears to still be much research and work needed at the site for this to occur.

The rock art faces many threats to its survival, including tourists and destruction from natural processes such as ant trail that go across the older panels at Burrungui, water damage and wasp nesting. Interpretive signage is present at the art sites to assist visitors in understanding these rock art treasures and the importance of their preservation.

The Anbangbang Shelter drawings are some of the most famous in the National Park. One of the intricate paintings in Anbangbang shelter was created by Najombolmi, a renowned artist of the Bardmardi clan, who painted the images with his friends in the 1963-64 wet season. Najombolmi lived between 1895 and 1967 and is thought to have created around 604 paintings at 46 sites in Arnhem Land. Najomboli was also known as ‘Barramundi Charlie’ by some.

X-ray paintings are naturalistic depictions of animals that show the internal organs and other anatomical features, which were mostly painted by Aboriginal people in red and white ochre. One such painting created by Najombolmi depicts anthropomorphic figures of Ancestral beings such as Namarrgon (lightning man), painted in the x-ray style using European blue, that Chaloupka said came from the blue pigment put in washing by Europeans as a toner to keep clothes white. Paintings and rock art such as this among the only rock art that provides absolute dating of when it was produced, as rock art is notoriously difficult to date.

Anbangbang was excavated by archaeologists in 1981 and was found to have first been occupied more than 6000 years ago, with some occasional use being up to 20,000 years ago and with intensification of site use occurring between 800 and 1200 years ago when the nearby lagoon was fully formed

Najombolmi also painted at Nangawulurr Shelter (formerly spelled Nangaloar). It is located on the northern side of Burrungui (Nourlangie Rock). Nangawulurr shelter features many styles of Aboriginal rock art that appear in other sites around the region in one area. It includes hand prints, Mimi figures in ceremonial dress, Ancestral beings, x-ray animals and dolphin-like creatures depicted in red ochre. It also features a white depiction of a two-masted sailing ship with an anchor and dingy, which may relate to the early European buffalo shooters in the area). Unfortunately due to the fame of the site for its amazing rock art, in the early 1970s tourists came and destroyed some features and even stole Aboriginal Ancestral Remains from the site.Nawurlandja Lookout

Anbangbang Billabong

Anbangbang Billabong lies in the shadow of Nourlangie Rock within Kakadu National Park and is a good place to view a wide range of wildlife. Large numbers of water fowl and wading birds inhabit the billabong and many wallabies can be found grazing around the water’s edge. There is a walking trail around the circumference of Anbangbang billabong with many picnic areas. The Anbangbang Billabong is overlooked by the Nawurlandja and Nourlangie plateaus. In the wet season, it is fed by runoff from these plateaus, as well as overflow from Nourlangie Creek, however during the dry season it is cut off.

Like much of Kakadu, Anbangbang Billabong is home to a particularly large variety of bird life. The fluctuating water levels draw waterfowl such as Magpie Geese, Pelicans, Darters, Spoonbills and Brolga. Other fauna known to frequent the billabong include Wallabies, File Snakes, Long-necked Turtles, Dingoes and Goannas.

Mangroves lining the billabong support populations of Freshwater mussel. Adjacent woodlands play host to a different ecosystem again. The nearby Nawurlandja plateau supports local populations of Short-eared rock-wallaby and Chestnut-quilled rock pigeon, among other species.

The swelling billabong promotes seasonal growth of Sedges, Grasses and Water Lilies, and Freshwater mangrove line the water's edge. Swamp areas support many types of paperbark, in particular the Weeping paperbark, Silver-leaved paperbark and Broad-leaved paperbark.

The woodlands surrounding the billabong are a lush habitat comprising an abundance of plant species. Darwin woollybutt and Darwin Stringybark dominate, with large populations of Fan palms, Kapok, Red Apples, Wattle and Pandanus.

Like much of Kakadu, the Anbangbang Billabong region's climate is monsoonal. The region's aboriginal owners recognize six seasons, however these can be reduced to vastly differing dry and wet seasons where the billabong is respectively depleted and replenished.

 

Here are two of the most expensive Ferraris ever. The yellow 275 GTB/C Speciale #06885 is likely the most expensive Ferrari in existence and the 250 GTO is #4293GT. The value of these two cars combined is from $100 million to $150 million.
