In the meantime the sun had set during my walk of yesterday on the dike along the old arm of the River Ijseel towards Doesburg. The town had already come a lot nearer than on the other shot just submitted before, but I still had to good half hour to go. The tower of the Martinikerk, the town´s main church, stood out clearly against the magnificent colours of the evening sky. It was getting colder, in spite of all the fire in the sky! But I can tell you, it was worth it! Near Doesburg, 11th January 2009, 4.43 pm / Nikon D80, Nikkor 18-200 mm at 135 mm / F 36, 1/60, ISO 800 [I admit, I could have lowered the ISO or used an opening like F16, but I was just far too excited by the spectacle to think very much about technicalities as long as the shot came out well. After all I am an intuitive photographer more than a technical-minded one. Yes, I shall never get a really high-class prof photographer like this, but as long as it is fun and you like what I do, who cares …]
This is a composite of three photos, one of St. Landry Catholic Church in Opelousas, Louisiana, one of a rosy sky taken in the Hidden Hills community near my home, and one of branches overhanging the LSU lakes in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The branches compose the background layer, with the rosy sky layered in through the Select and Paste method and then the church was selected from the third image using the Quick Selection tool, copied and finally pasted onto the background image. The use of the sliders in the Layers palette helped determine opacity of the overlays. To accentuate the branches I chose the Darken option in the layers palette which helped to really frame the picture. These are all just experimentations. I’m new at merging photos and working with layers, so please bear with me as I try to learn how to do this. Sure is lots of fun trying, though. (The state of Louisiana, unlike the other 49 states, is divided into parishes, not counties, an influence of the Catholic culture in the area. I live in St. Landry Parish; St. Landry Church is located in Opelousas which is the seat of the parish government).

Traces of a first settlement, dating back to the prehistoric age, have been discovered on the Castellaro hill, located east of the present downtown, in the middle of the park of the Cenobio dei Dogi Hotel, where we can find the the majestic maritimes pines. Unfortunately, we cannot retrack any remains of the Middle Ages, when the first beach village and the fort which protected the “Island”, which was rocky ram that forms the natural port. The first inhabitants were fishermen, right after they became seamen to serve the genoese fleet and later they kept their own business as shipowners. The glorious era of the camogliese people, extraordinary seamen, goes back to the 19th century, when their trade crossed with international events. In that period, they joined the Egypt’s and Algiers’ campaign and, overall, the Crimea war, as the only military striking force of the Piedmontese army. This useful contribute was possible thanks to their well equipped maritime fleet. Their audacity and skillness at sea were decisive to the result of the was and brought a solid welfare to the city. This welfare was well visible through the buildings and in the institutions, in the social services as well. The growing importance of Camogli allowed to obtain from king Vittorio Emanuele II the title of “City”. About its name, there are few speculations: camuggi in genoese dialect means “house of the wives” (their husbands were out at sea); another version says that cà a muggi (packed houses) reminds its landscape as seen from far out at sea. Finally and more realistically, scholars determined that the name Camogli comes from etrurian or celtic deities: Camulo or Camolio. Camogli has three neighbours: Ruta, St. Rocco and St. Fruttuoso and many valued places for environmental and historical matters. / Ruta, which was named by the route that passes through of it, has been built on the hills, at an altitude of 300 metres. There we experience a mild and dry climate, for this, Ruta was a reknown tourist destination until the last century. Today this neighbour is the departure point for the many escursions to the Portofino Park. By going to a private boulevard, we can reach the Portofino Kulm hotel, built on the first years of the 20th century and restored recently.St. Rocco lies on a rocky wall falling to the sea: up there you can admire the Paradiso Gulf panorama.St. Fruttuoso, which is only reachable by foot or by boat, is a sea village framed in a narrow valley of the Portofino promontory. There we find a very valuable monumental complex : the abbey, the church and the Andrea Doria’s tower. Camogli, among the many historical and artistic treasures, has various religious buildings. On the “Island”, close to the medieval castle, we can admire the Basilica, named after Santa Maria Assunta, which hosts many art masterpieces of the camogliese sculptors Francesco and Bernardo Schiaffino and of the genoese painters Niccolò Barabino and Francesco Semino. Inside the church, among the altars, decorated by valuable marbles, we can admire the paintings of the Patron saints of Camogli: St. Fortunato, protector of fishermen and seamen and St. Prosperous, patron of the city.Uphill of the Repubblica Street, you will find the Oratory of St.Prosperous and Caterina, dating back to the 15th century. The old crucifix inside the building has a great value for the camogliese people: it was carried out in procession during the difficult times. On the hills, we meet the church and monastery of St. Prosperous, still today it is hosting a small community of benedectine friars; then we meet the sanctuary of Our Lady of the Boschetto, loved specially by seamen which invoke the Lady during sea storms and perils, as painted in the various votive images.In the downtown of Ruta we can admire the parish church, built on 17th century. Inside there, we find masterpieces of painters and sculptors such as Bernardo Castello and Francesco Schiaffino. Along the road which leads to St. Martino of Noceto, we meet the millenary church dated back to the 12th century, national monument, seat of classic concerts specially in the summertime.Between St Rocco and Chiappa Point, western tip of the Portofino promontory, we mmet the romanic church of St. Nicolò of Capodimonte which is placed into a spectacular and natural frame. Finally, in the sea village of St. Fruttuoso, it is possible to admire the benedectine abbey, placed by side of the romanic church, donated on 1983 along with the built-up area, by the Doria Pamphily princes to the Italian Fund for the Environment (F.A.I.), which arranged to restore it.In the St. Fruttuoso bay we can dive to reach the Abyss Christ, a bronze statue which is object of devotion by many divers. Since the old times, due to its location, the inhabitants of Camogli looked for sustenance from the sea. Before as fishermen and after as captains and shipowners. Since 1800 until 1900, Camogli prduces 3700 ship captains, 2932 merchant vessels and more than 500 naval engineers. Indeed, in the middle of the 19th century, our city reaches the top of its maritime economy. Camogliese ships and crews join the events which had been lead to the Unity of Italy on 1860. Simone Schiaffino, the ensign of the ” Mille”, the Garibaldi’s army, was a brave camogliese ship captain. Again, on the middle of 1800, the first camogliese maritime insurance was founded: it covered the damages originated by the perilous sailings of those times. Just in that period, Camogli is named “the City of the Thousands Sailships”. The most famous ships were the bricks and barks and the camogliese crews were very brave to handle them. At the beginning of the 20th century, along with the mechanic propulsion, the “family management” of the sailships started to decline: it was extremely expensive to keep the maintenance all around the world of an “iron ship”. As a remain of the extraordinary maritime tradition of Camogli, we have today the high professional value of its seamen, specially on board the most modern cruise and cargo ships where the highest level of technology can be found. To admire the maritime tradition of Camogli, please visit the Maritime Museo “G.B.Ferrari”, located in the stairways in front of the railway station. In the museum, you will find rare parts of ships and seamen’s belongings wich are donations of the camogliese families of 1800 and 1900.

8×10 Watercolour painting on Arches Paper with a touch of pastel to add texture. I stand and stare in awe at my find / this idyllic place fills my mind. / Time stands still as the mist rolls in and / The sunset announces night will begin. / I feel an awakening deep inside / peace replaces fear and my worries subside.

This is the steeple of Santa Croce (Holy Cross) church in Assisi, Italy overlooking a beautiful green valley. This church was built in the 13th Century and is therefore older than our country!! / I could not believe my luck to get such a great vantage point. / Assisi was definitely one of the highlights of our trip and this is one of my favourite photos! / FEATURED in the I LOVE ITALY Group. Thank You.
There are few places in Colorado that I love more than this one, and yes, it is a very iconic place, situated between Allenspark and Estes Park…and in Autumn it simply comes alive in ways I can not even begin to mention, the bushes turn a liquid gold in color, and everything resembles a painting….beauty in it’s most sincere form in Nature. I hope you all like it! / John /
The old church you see here is somewhere near the amazing village of Les Eysizes, in the Dordogne region of France. When I took the photo, I forgot to note the name of the church, so, with my husband we went back to find it again. No matter how many times we searched the area we could not find the church again! It was as if it had never existed. This led to the inspiration for this image. It has been created within Photoshop, although all the component parts of the image came from my own original photos. The sky is a combination of photos and painting, and I have used a rough textures to add impact. I hope that you like it.
