All we have in life is time. We don't know how much, exactly, but we can decide what to invest it in. And that choice builds the pillars of our existence. However, if we give ourselves the necessary space to listen to each other, we will be able to evaluate and modify the results we are obtaining. This exercise in honesty is the first step to stop doing and start being. Ultimately, well-being is not related to what we do, but to what we are, and our ability to live in coherence with ourselves. Hence the importance of taking advantage of the opportunity for reflection that hammock syndrome offers us.

19th Century nave roof panel depicting the Adoration of the Shepherds and Magi.
The nave roof ceiling was painted as part of George Gilbert Scott's restoration of the 1850s and 1860s. It consists of twelve panels depicting the Sacred History of Man as recorded in Scripture, and was designed by Henry Styleman Le Strange. The sequence was based on the early 13th Century sequence at St Michael, Hildesheim in Germany. Le Strange painted the first six panels himself, and the rest were completed after his death in 1862 by Thomas Gambier Parry. They are, from west to east:
I. The Creation of Man
II. Adam and Eve
III. The Thank-offering of Noah
IV. Abraham and Isaac
V. The Dream of Jacob
VI. The Betrothal of Ruth to Boaz
VII. The Stem of Jesse
VIII. King David
IX. The Annunciation
X. The Nativity
XI. The Adoration of the Shepherds and Magi
XII. Christ in Majesty with Saints and Angels

Sans doute parce que lui seul sait qu’il meurt. Celui qui ne le sait pas ne meurt pas. »

The Bell Tower of Xi'an (simplified Chinese: 西安钟楼; traditional Chinese: 西安鐘樓; pinyin: Xī'ān Zhōnglóu), built in 1384 during the early Ming Dynasty, is a symbol of the city of Xi'an and one of the grandest of its kind in China. The Bell Tower also contains several large bronze-cast bells from the Tang Dynasty. The tower base is square and it covers an area of 1,377 m2 (14,820 sq ft). The tower is a brick and timber structure and close to 40 m (130 ft) high. It is located in the center of Xi'an, at the intersection of the four streets of the east, west, south and north. It is the largest and most preserved one amongst the many bell towers left over from ancient China.(Wikipedia)

It may not look like it, but this was taken on the hottest day of our trip, where the temperature rose to 44 degress celcius and the humidity to around 90%. This chap carried on his work as if nothing was amiss.
This was a previously unedited photo from about 6 weeks ago. I was going through some old photos and playing around with masks and some funky LR presets. The lady in the mushroom hat and made me want to give the photo a mystical, medieval vibe.

Su un poggio dominato dalla massa quadrata di un castello, le cui strutture più antiche risalgono all'XI secolo, sorge l'antico abitato di "Leu" (che significa "luogo"). Il castello, con la sua mole posta su un alto zoccolo collinare e sostenuta da muraglioni, fu edificato sui resti della Torre dei Radicati, che dominarono la zona dal Duecento alla metà del Cinquecento. Dopo vari passaggi di proprietà, il castello fu acquisito e rimodellato nel XVII secolo dai conti Morozzo della Rocca. Percorrendo il sentiero che costeggia i giardini del castello, chiamato "il sentiero della processione", la vista spazia da Castagneto Po e San Sebastiano Da Po fino ai colli monferrini, dove si scorgono cappelle campestri e antiche cascine. Intorno al maniero nel medioevo si formò un ricetto murato di forma ovale, di cui si conservano diverse strutture: i ruderi di una piccola torre (la "turiela" o torricella), la torre-porta di ingresso del XVI secolo e, a sud di questa, un'area residenziale che fu dotata di difese perimetrali nel 1471, di cui resta una torre cilindrica. Sulla piazza a forma trapezoidale si affacciano l'antica Chiesa Parrocchiale di Santa Maria Maddalena, la Chiesa della Santissima Trinità e il Municipio Vecchio. La Parrocchiale, con l'incombente facciata in cemento costruita nel 1894, sorge su un impianto cinquecentesco. La struttura ha subito molteplici trasformazioni nel corso dei secoli, che ne hanno determinato l'attuale forma a tre navate. La Chiesa della Santissima Trinità, eretta nel 1711 e sede della Confraternita della Santa Croce, ha pianta ellittica e facciata in mattoni, di disegno tardo barocco con semplice sagrato di scalini. Il vecchio Municipio, risalente al Cinquecento, fu sede del Comune dal Seicento fino al 1957. Ancora oggi è possibile osservare l'antico stemma comunale sulla facciata del Municipio.

« 5 heures de l’après-midi, la digitale pourprée : crescendo trillé du phragmite des joncs, rythmes puissants, acidulés et grincés, de la rousserolle turdoïde. Coassement sec et flasque d’une grenouille. La mouette rieuse part en chasse. Les nénuphars. Concert en duo de deux rousserolles effarvattes. » (O.M.)
