This is the photo I wanted to upload before the first one but, I figured I shouldn't since the photo before that was taken here too (although this was only taken on Saturday).
This is for my fashion class at college. They told me I should take what I do with self-portraits and do them for fashion so I did! Clouds and levitation ahoy! Although I don't really think the levitation shot worked, especially with the other images. I certainly got good cloud ones though. I tried to keep a polka dot theme (I had a scarf and skirt which Robyn's wearing here and a fascinator and body top type thing she's wearing in the other photo as well as an umbrella) but you can't really see the pattern since they're so far away haha. Oh well.
Thanks to India for being my cloud bitch and Robyn for being my model.
Tantallon Castle, East Lothian.
I had another visit to Tantallon on Saturday. One of my favourite spots. It had been quite windy all day and was hoping for the sea to be a bit rougher. I had to get closer and lower to the sea with an 11-16mm lens than I was comfortable with to get this shot. This was about the 4th or 5th attempt before I got one without sea spray on the lens.

For the Anniversary of My Death
Every year without knowing it I have passed the day
When the last fires will wave to me
And the silence will set out
Tireless traveller
Like the beam of a lightless star
Then I will no longer
Find myself in life as in a strange garment
Surprised at the earth
And the love of one woman
And the shamelessness of men
As today writing after three days of rain
Hearing the wren sing and the falling cease
And bowing not knowing to what
— W. S. Merwin
On the Last Day of the World
On the last day of the world I would want to plant a tree
~W. S. Merwin
On the last day of the world, I would want
to feed you. Raspberries. Thin slices of apple.
Peaches so ripe they drip down our chins,
down our necks. I would want to sit with you
beneath a tree, no we’ll climb a tree, no
we’ll plant a tree, yes all of these. On the last
day of the world, I want to give myself permission
to feel exactly what I feel, to be exactly who I am,
to shed every layer of should and meet you
that way. Knowing we have only hours left,
could we put down our arguments with ourselves
and each other and find no energy to pick them up again?
On that day, I want us to write the last poem
together and let the writing undo us, let it teach us
how to get out of the way, how to obey what emerges.
Let’s run outside, no matter the weather, and praise
the light till the light is gone, and then praise the dark.
— Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer
Black on Black
My grandmother loved me with a thick accent
spoke to me Yemeni words
I never understood,
and as a child
I remember
how scared I was to stay alone with her
out of fear that I wouldn’t understand the tongue in her mouth
which she kept singing to me with a smile.
I didn’t understand
a single word she said
the sounds far, far away
even when she spoke closely.
Once
I remember,
she bought me a pineapple yogurt
and after I punched a hole with my thumb
in the thin aluminum lid
and drank it all,
I wanted to say thank you
but didn’t know
which language to use,
so I went to the big garden
plucked a flower
and handed it to her,
sheepishly.
I remember
how much awkwardness stood between us
of one blood
and two muted tongues.
She washed the yogurt cup
silently
filled it with water
and placed the flower in it.
I never understood
a word she said,
my grandmother,
but I understood her hands
I understood her flesh
even though she never
really understood
the words I said
and simply loved my little body
the daughter of her daughter.
And sometimes the heart asks
strange things for itself
like to learn Yemeni
and return to her grave
lay lips to the earth
and cry into it
all that that little girl had to say
and mainly to warn her
that the flower I’d given her
was full of ants.

Danbo has to be the worst chef ever! An omelette must be the easiest thing in the world to make for supper and look at the mess he made! Still, he is young, hopefully he will improve :) I also think a 3 egg omelette is a bit much for a little guy like him, but he wouldn't be told! Still, he ended up with egg on his face :D
I hope you can see that Danbo and I are having a lot of fun!
I was without a car this weekend so all my travels were by bicycle. This Spotted Flycatcher was an unexpected bonus as I have not seen many locally this year. When I first moved to Yorkshire nearly thirty years ago Spotted Flycatchers were so common that I hardly noticed them. Their two note squeaky wheelbarrow song was a familiar sound of summer, but not any more. Between 1967 and 2010 the population in Britain declined by a massive 89%. They are still quite widely distributed throughout Britain but the numbers have crashed. For every ten pairs there were in my childhood, there is now just one.
Sub-Saharan summer migrants have all suffered population declines in Britain, right across the board. This in itself is unusual as even the beleaguered farmland birds have had a few winners (eg Woodpigeon). It would be easy to point the finger at things going on in their African wintering grounds but the populations of migrants (eg Wood Warbler) are still very strong in Eastern Europe, and these also winter in Africa. In Britain there has been a big drop in insects, with BC's butterfly counts shining a spotlight on one group. But cleaning insects off the car after a summer drive was the norm when I started driving (in the 1970s). The car used to be caked in insects but there have never been anything like that number in recent decades.
The name Spotted Flycatcher is a misnomer as they are plain with a striped breast. Only the recently-fledged juvenile has spots. Even the scientific name striata means striped. They normally perch a bit more upright than this but I think I caught this one just before it took flight.
I hate not having him right here when I wake up. I hate not having him there when I sleep. He is my everything . And I truly am lost without him.
I'm without my heart while he is gone.
I don't care if none of you like this. This is for me .

Peak diesel no. 44009 (Without its "SNOWDON" nameplates) is passing the signal box at Netherfield at the head of the 0710 Toton - Whitemoor freight on the 19th of July 1977. This was a regular duty for class 44 at the time.
The loco was new to the LMR Western Lines at the start of 1960 but since 1962 had operated from the MPD at Toton on freight duties. It was withdrawn from service at Toton in 1979.
The front end of the loco is the result of an accident at Trent in 1969 when the nose was badly damaged. The replacement was of the same type as that fitted to classes 45 and 46
The view at this location is now a little different. The modern signal box has been closed and removed and the single line remaining on the old GNR track bed (Which served Geo Sands works) has been taken up. The signalling is now colour light, controlled from Derby Signalling Centre.

« Faites des bêtises, mais faites-les avec enthousiasme ». Colette
C’est un Terre-Neuve de presque un an et de plus de 50 kilos … et elle m’aime trop !!! La dernière fois qu’elle a voulu me faire un câlin (hier après-midi), elle y a mis tellement d’enthousiasme qu’elle m’a fait voler comme une quille de bowling. !!! :-DDD
Bilan de la rencontre : entorse du genou ! Moi qui manquais de temps pour venir sur flickr, c’est arrangé pour cette semaine !!! Merci le chien ! :-)))
Il y a quand même une chose que je ne lui pardonne pas : j’ai dû décommander une charmante invitation, je n’ai pas pu voir mes amis et surtout… ils ont bu un merveilleux Lynch Bages de derrière les fagots sans moi ! ;-))
Make silly things, but do them with enthusiasm. Colette
She’s a Newfoundland dog of almost a year and more than 50 kilos... and she loves me too much!!! The last time that she wanted to give me a cuddle, (on yesterday afternoon) she was so enthusiast, that she made me fly like a bowling skittle. !!! :-DDD
Meeting results : a sprained knee ! I who didn’t have enough time to visit my flickr friends, it is OK for this week!!! Thank you the dog! :-)))
Nevertheless, there is something that I don’t forgive her : I had to cancel a charming invitation, I couldn’t meet my friends and most of all... they drank a marvellous very special Lynch Bages without me! ;-))

"Without love I am half human without love I'm all machine
Without love there's nothing doin' I will die without love
Without love I am an island all by myself in a heartbreak sea
Without love there's no denyin' I am dyin' without love
For there is nowhere I can run and there is no hiding place
Sticking out like a sore thumb by that gloomy look upon my face
Without love I'm incomplete without love I am not whole
Without love I'm barely on my feet I am dyin' without love
For there is nowhere I can run...I am dyin' without love"
Elda e sua analógica em um dos lindos dias do último verão.
Without having any new photos from this year, yet... :), here's another shot form the Hel Peninsula on the Polish Baltic coast.
This was a nice, calm, but very cold sunset around the docks there and i found this place with the frozen beach and lots of snow and ice on the wave-breakers that i quite enjoyed. Further one, once the lights went on, they actually illuminated the tips of the ones in front of me, making them a bit special, maybe...
Hope you'll like it and thanks for visiting.

Wish you all my friends a new year full of beauty and peace, and specially a year without war for my dear homeland - IRAN.
باز كن پنجره ها را كه نسيم
روز ميلاد اقاقي ها را
جشن ميگيرد
و بهار
روي هر شاخه كنار هر برگ
شمع روشن كرده است
همه چلچله ها برگشتند
و طراوت را فرياد زدند
كوچه يكپارچه آواز شده است
و درخت گيلاس
هديه جشن اقاقي ها را
گل به دامن كرده ست
باز كن پنجره ها را اي دوست
هيچ يادت هست
كه زمين را عطشي وحشي سوخت
برگ ها پژمردند
تشنگي با جگر خاك چه كرد
هيچ يادت هست
توي تاريكي شب هاي بلند
سيلي سرما با تاك چه كرد
با سرو سينه گلهاي سپيد
نيمه شب باد غضبناك چه كرد
هيچ يادت هست
حاليا معجزه باران را باور كن
و سخاوت را در چشم چمنزار ببين
و محبت را در روح نسيم
كه در اين كوچه تنگ
با همين دست تهي
روز ميلاد اقاقي ها را
جشن ميگيرد
خاك جان يافته است
تو چرا سنگ شدي
تو چرا اينهمه دلتنگ شدی
باز كن پنجره ها را
و بهاران را
باور كن
(فريدون مشيری)
For those who can't read Persian, this is a poem named "Believe in the Spring" by Fereidoun Moshiri, and here is its English translation.You can also listen to the poem there!
(The translation was copyrighted, so I didn't copy it here!)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Norouz (Persian: نوروز , various local pronunciations and spellings) is the traditional Iranian new year holiday in Iran, Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, Albania,
Georgia, various countries of Central Asia such as Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan, as well as among the Iranian peoples in Pakistan,Turkey, and everywhere else.
As well as being a Zoroastrian holiday, it is also a holy day for adherents of Sufism as well as Bahá'í Faith. In Iran it is also referred to as an Eid festival, although it is not an Islamic feast. Shia Nizari Ismaili muslims, who trace their origins to Iran, celebrate the festival under the name Navroz. In their religious protocol, Navroz is officially recognized as an Eid, as with Eid ul-Fitr and Eid ul-Adha, although it involves a distinct set of religious ceremonies.
Norouz marks the first day of spring and the beginning of the Iranian year as well as the beginning of the Bahá'í year. It is celebrated by some communities on March 21st and by others on the day of the astronomical vernal equinox (start of spring), which may occur on March 20th, 21st or 22nd.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
History and Tradition
Tradition takes Norooz as far back as 15,000 years--before the last ice age. King Jamshid (Yima or Yama of the Indo-Iranian lore) symbolizes the transition of the Indo-Iranians from animal hunting to animal husbandry and a more settled life in human history. Seasons played a vital part then. Everything depended on the four seasons. After a sever winter, the beginning of spring was a great occasion with mother nature rising up in a green robe of colorful flowers and the cattle delivering their young. It was the dawn of abundance. Jamshid is said to be the person who introduced Norooz celebrations.
Avestan and later scriptures show that Zarathushtra improved, as early as 1725 BCE., the old Indo-Iranian calendar. The prevailing calendar was luni-solar. The lunar year is of 354 days. An intercalation of one month after every thirty months kept the calendar almost in line with the seasons. Zarathushtra, the Founder of the Good Religion, himself an astronomer, founded an observatory and he reformed the calendar by introducing an eleven-day intercalary period to make it into a luni-solar year of 365 days, 5 hours and a fraction. Later the year was made solely a solar year with each month of thirty days. An intercalation of five days was, and a further addition of one day every four years, was introduced to make the year 365 days, 5 hours, and a fraction. Still later, the calendar was
further corrected to be a purely solar year of 365 days 5 hr 48 min 45.5 sec. The year began precisely with the vernal equinox every time and therefore, there was no particular need of adding one day every four years and there was no need of a leap year. This was [and still is] the best and most correct calendar produced that far.
Some 12 centuries later, in 487 B.C.E., Darius the Great of the Achaemenian dynasty celebrated the Norooz at his newly built Persepolis in Iran. A recent research shows that it was a very special occasion. On that day, the first rays of the rising sun fell on the observatory in the great hall of audience at 06-30 a.m., an event which repeats itself once every 1400-1 years. It also happened to coincide with the Babylonian and Jewish new years. It was, therefore, a highly auspicious occasion for the ancient peoples. The Persepolis was the place, the Achaemenian king received, on Norooz, his peoples from all over the vast empire. The walls of the great royal palace depict the scenes of the celebrations.
We know the Iranian under the Parthian dynasty celebrated the occasion but we do not know the details. It should have, more or less, followed the Achaemenian pattern. During the Sasanian time, preparations began at least 25 days before Norooz. Twelve pillars of mud-bricks, each dedicated to one month of the year, were erected in the royal court. Various vegetable seeds--wheat, barley, lentils, beans, and others--were sown on top of the pillars. They grew into luxurious greens by the New Year Day. The great king held his public audience and the High Priest of the empire was the first to greet him. Government officials followed next. Each person offered a gift and received a present. The audience lasted for five days, each day for the people of a certain profession. Then on the sixth day,
called the Greater Norooz, the king held his special audience. He received members of the Royal family and courtiers. Also a general amnesty was declared for convicts of minor crimes. The pillars were removed on the 16th day and the festival came to a close. The occasion was celebrated, on a lower level, by all peoples throughout the empire.
Since then, the peoples of the Iranian culture, whether Zartoshtis, Jews, Christians, Muslims, Baha’is, or others, have celebrated Norooz precisely at the time of vernal equinox, the first day of the first month, on about March 21.

Extensive records on the celebration of Norouz appear following the accession of Ardashir I of Persia, the founder of the Sassanid dynasty (224-651 AD). Under the Sassanid emperors, Norouz was celebrated as the most important day of the year. Most royal traditions of Norouz such as royal audiences with the public, cash gifts, and the pardoning of prisoners, were established during the Sassanian era and they persisted unchanged until modern times.
Norouz, along with Sadeh (that is celebrated in mid-winter), survived in society following the introduction of Islam in 650 AD. Other celebrations such Gahanbar and Mehragan were eventually side-lined or were only followed by the Zoroastrians, who carried them as far as Turkey. Norouz, however, was most honored even by the early founders of Islam. There are records of the Four Great Caliphs
presiding over Norouz celebrations, and it was adopted as the main royal holiday during the Abbasid period.
Following the demise of the Caliphate and the subsequent re-emergence of Persian dynasties such as the Samanids and Buyids, Norouz was elevated to an even more important event. The Buyids revived the ancient traditions of Sasanian times and restored many smaller celebrations that had been eliminated by the Caliphate. Even the Turkish and Mongol invaders did not attempt to abolish Norouz in favor of any other celebration. Thus, Norouz remained
as the main celebration in the Persian lands by both the officials and the people.
Omar Khayyam in his Norouznama (letter of Nowrouz) has written a vivid description of the celebration in ancient Persian:
“ From the era of Keykhosrow till the days of Yazdegard, last of the pre-Islamic kings of Persia, the royal custom was thus: on the first day of the New Year, Nau Ruz, the King's first visitor was the High Priest of the Zoroastrians, who brought with him as gifts a golden goblet full of wine, a ring, some gold coins, a fistful of green sprigs of wheat, a sword, a bow and a handsome slave. In the language of Persia he would then glorify God and praise the monarch.. This was the address of the High Priest to the king : "O Majesty, on this feast of the Equinox, first day of the first month of the year, seeing that thou hast freely chosen God and the Faith of the Ancient ones; may Surush, the Angel-messenger, grant thee wisdom and insight and sagacity in thy affairs. Live long in
praise, be happy and fortunate upon thy golden throne, drink immortality from the Cup of Jamshid; and keep in solemn trust the customs of our ancestors, their noble aspirations, fair gestes and the exercise of justice and righteousness. May thy soul flourish; may thy youth be as the new-grown grain; may thy horse be puissant, victorious; thy sword bright and deadly against foes; thy hawk swift against its prey; thy every act straight as the arrow's shaft. Go forth from thy rich throne, conquer new lands. Honor the craftsman and the sage in equal degree; disdain the acquisition of wealth. May thy house prosper and thy life be long!"

Today
Today, the ceremony has been simplified. Every house gets a thorough cleaning almost a month before. Wheat, barley, lentils, and other vegetables seeds are soaked to grow on china plates and round earthenware vessels some ten days in advance, so that the sprouts are three to four inches in height by Norooz. A table is laid. It has a copy of the sacred book (the Gathas for Zarathushtrians), picture of Zarathushtra (again for Zarathushtrians), a mirror, candles, incense burner, bowl of water with live gold fish, the plates and vessels with green sprouts, flowers, fruits, coins, bread, sugar cone, various grains, fresh vegetables, colorfully painted boiled eggs like the “Easter eggs,” and above all, seven articles with their names beginning in Persian with the letter s or sh. The usual
things with s are vinegar, sumac, garlic, samanu (consistency of germinating wheat), apple, senjed (sorb?), and herbs. Those with sh include wine, sugar, syrup, honey, candy, milk, and rice-pudding. Here in North America, these may be substituted with English words that would alliterate, rhyme, or make mouths water. The seven articles are prominently exhibited in small bowls or plates on the table. The whole table, beautifully laid, symbolizes the Message and the Messenger, light, reflection, warmth, life, love, joy, production, prosperity, and nature. It is, in fact, a very elaborate thanksgiving table for all the good beautifully bestowed by God.
Family members, all dressed in their best, sit around the table and eagerly await the announcement of the exact time of vernal equinox over radio or television. The head of the family recites the Norooz prayers, and after the time is announced, each member kisses the other and wishes a Happy Norooz. Elders give gifts to younger members. Next the rounds of visits to neighbors, relatives, and friends begin. Each visit is reciprocated. Zarathushtra’s Birthday and Norooz festival are celebrated by Zartoshtis at social centers on about 6 Farvardin (26 March). Singing and dancing is, more or less for the first, a daily routine. The festivity continues for 12 days, and on the 13th morning, the mass picnic to countryside begins. It is called sizdeh-be-dar, meaning “thirteen-in-the-outdoors.”
Cities and villages turn into ghost towns with almost all the i[nhabitants gone to enjoy the day in woods and mountains along stream and riversides. People sing, dance, and make merry. Girls of marriageable age tie wild grass tops into knots and make a wish that the following Norooz may find them married and carrying their bonny babies.

The church of St Jacob (or St. James - it refers to James the apostle) in Prague (or Kostel svatého Jakuba Většího as it's called in Czech) is one of the largest churches in the city - originally in Gothic style but later rebuilt in the Baroque.
Both door lead to the monastery - the one to the right (which has carvings depicting St. Francis and St. Anthony, though it's hard to tell) leading to the cloister.

Fight the poachers without arms and challenge the prejudices.
Have chosen the name of the world's most poisonous and dangerous snake: the Black Mambas, the first team against poaching composed only of women. In a world dominated by men, 2 years ago, this surveillance team was born to face the problem of ever-expanding poaching in South Africa: in 7 years, in fact, more and more the rhinos killed for their horns are being removed, causing the death of the animal and resold mainly to the Chinese market that uses it powdered in traditional medicine to heal fever, epilepsy, malaria and poisoning. It is a precious material that is very high on the black market (about $ 60,000 for kilo) and this is a strong incentive for poaching, in a densely populated and poor area like the one bordering the Greater Kruger National Park.
About this the Black Mambas have been awarded UNEP's annual recognition program (United Nations Environment Program) assigned to organizations and individuals who stand out for the protection of the environment and for building a sustainable future by acting, in their respective areas of expertise with tenacity and determination.
I heard this news this evening in the state TV
I searched the news in internet and the article goes back two years ago while they were born two years further back
And so I thought about how strange the world is, the bad news comes in a nanosecond, those beautiful in 4 years ......
I dedicate this to them
Thanks for your recent visits, favorites, comments and invitations. I go slow, but everything is very much appreciated, as always....

Projeto de restauração

Destacam-se a restauração das igrejas Santa Bárbara e Matriz de Santana e do Museu Arte Sacra, a retirada de postes e fios elétricos, hoje subterrâneos, e da elaboração de inventários dos bens históricos da cidade.
Goiás foi uma das cidades escolhidas na primeira fase do Projeto Monumental, que financia a restauração de sítios tombados através de empréstimos. Cerca de R$ 2 milhões devem ser destinados à cidade, para restauração de monumentos, como o Antigo Mercado, o Matadouro e Quartel XX, e na recuperação da área do Rio Vermelho. Proprietários de imóveis tombados poderão conseguir empréstimos para casarões.

Hiroshi Yoshimura (吉村弘) - Wet Land (1993)
For almost everyone, Spring is associated with an abundance of nascent forms and a variety of vibrant colors...
I suggest we look at this magical time without "superfluous" colors. After all, colors usually adhere to existing forms. This means that form and content are the foundation upon which we can apply as many layers of the most vibrant and impressive colors as we like... But if form and content are absent... then color becomes superfluous...
Nature gives us a great variety of forms, imbuing them with a wide variety of meanings and purposes. After all, if you look closely, everything around us carries something special; something that can serve us in a variety of ways – inspire, help us heal, impart valuable lessons, nourish us, and even... send us to other dimensions...
Previously, I wrote that everything around us is connected. And we are connected to everything. Moreover, there is a feeling that everything around us is different forms of the same thing. Different forms of ...Ourselves ...Source ...Nature ...God ...Universe...
What forms fill your life?
What do you feel when the form becomes more tangible?
Eri il mio sole
volevo esserti fiore
ma nuvole ti nascondevano
ho provato ad essere sole
ma nuvole ti nascondevano
ancora
volevo guardarti
volevo che tu mi guardassi
radiosa
ma nuvole tra noi
sempre
e sarò nuvola allora
che tu sia fiore o sole
vedrai
laddove ha casa il mio cielo
ti sarò nell’anima
Pietro Atzeni
