I just photoshopped out a wire from this photograph, not a big deal to most but for me it is.

I have only ever done this once before and that was ages ago. I just edited this one from memory.

Is it wrong to edit film photographs in photoshop ??

History and… Legend

Among varieties of Teroldego grapes in Rotaliana, a land suited to viticulture since time immemorial, Mount Mezzocorona rises straight up and suspended on its cliffs you can still see the remains of the impregnable San Gottardo Castle. Legend has it that within a cave lived a mighty dragon, an implacable scourge of the whole area and its fearful residents. It was thus that a young knight, Count Firmian, historical family of Mezzocorona, had the courage to face the Basilisk on his land.

One day early in the morning, armed with spear and sword, the brave knight climbed the mountain and set before the cave a bowl of milk and a large mirror. The dragon, smelling the perfume of the milk, of which he was a glutton, came out and upon seeing himself in the mirror, was surprised and felt a touch of vanity.

The knight took the opportunity to stab it to death, and through the districts of Mezzocorona, the whole population cheered in triumph and carried the brave knight and the unfortunate dragon but…a few drops of its blood fell in the Rotaliano soil from which sprouted the first strains of Teroldego. This explains the legendary origin of this local variety, and even today because of its intense ruby red color, the local people call this generous wine "Sangue di Drago" or Dragon’s Blood.

Tasting notes:
This wine shows a brilliant ruby red color with moderate transparency of ruby red nuances. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined aromas which start with hints of black cherry, plum and blueberry followed by aromas of raspberry, cyclamen, violet, vanilla, tobacco, carob and mace. The mouthfeel has good correspondence to the nose, good body, intense flavors, agreeable. The finish is persistent with flavors of black cherry, blueberry and plum. Teroldego Rotaliano Blood of the Dragon is aged for 16-18 months in barrique.

Alcohol: 13%
Food Match: Roast meats, braised and stewed meats with mushrooms, aged cheese

Espresso – Epicure, The Age by Larissa Dubecki October 6, 2009
Birth of a dynasty THE 0 million redevelopment of the former Village City Centre complex into an Asian dining hub has signed Shanghai’s Dynasty for a 600-seat restaurant. The press release touts the signing of Dynasty, a Cantonese and dim sum specialist based at Shanghai’s Renaissance Yangtze Hotel, as a coup for the LAS Group’s commercial redevelopment of the Bourke Street site, which backs on to Chinatown. Dynasty joins the 120-seat Bund, which will also boast two five-tonne shark tanks, and the expansion of former lord mayor John So’s Dragon Boat, which is taking over two floors and will have a large open-air balcony. All going to plan, most of the complex will open by mid-month and Dynasty just before Christmas.

Dragon Passant
Fresco transferred to canvas
Spain, Castile-Leon, Burgos, after 1200
From the chapter house of the monastery of San Pedro de Arlanza, near Burgos
The Cloisters Collection, 1931, (31.38.1b)

This wall painting and its companion, which depicts a lion, are closely related to a cycle of frescoes at Sigena (Huesca), thought to be by an Enlgish painter from Winchester. Notwithstanding attempts to find symbolic significance in these beasts, contemporaneous text state that "images of animals, birds, and serpents and other things are for adornment and beauty only."

**

The Cloisters, a branch of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art dedicated to the art and architecture of the European Middle Ages, is located in Fort Tryon Park near the northern tip of Manhattan island on a hill overlooking the Hudson River. The Cloisters collection contains approximately five thousand European medieval works of art, with a particular emphasis on pieces dating from the twelfth through the fifteen centuries.

Gargoyle at Cologne Cathedral / Wasserspeier am Kölner Dom
3689902453 2c2a80d6f0 Nice Dragon Age photos

Image by GS1311
The term gargoyle is most often applied to medieval work, but throughout all ages some means of water diversion, when not conveyed in gutters, was adopted. In Egypt, gargoyles ejected the water used in the washing of the sacred vessels which seems to have been done on the flat roofs of the temples. In Greek temples, the water from roofs passed through the mouths of lions whose heads were carved or modeled in the marble or terracotta cymatium of the cornice.

A local legend that sprang up around the name of St. Romanus ("Romain") (AD 631–641), the former chancellor of the Merovingian king Clotaire II who was made bishop of Rouen, relates how he delivered the country around Rouen from a monster called Gargouille or Goji, having the creature captured by the only volunteer, a condemned man. The gargoyle’s grotesque form was said to scare off evil spirits so they were used for protection. In commemoration of St. Romain the Archbishops of Rouen were granted the right to set a prisoner free on the day that the reliquary of the saint was carried in procession (see details at Rouen).

Many medieval cathedrals included gargoyles and chimeras. The most famous examples are those of Notre Dame de Paris. Although most have grotesque features, the term gargoyle has come to include all types of images. Some gargoyles were depicted as monks, or combinations of real animals and people, many of which were humorous. Unusual animal mixtures, or chimeras, did not act as rainspouts and are more properly called grotesques. They serve more as ornamentation, but are now synonymous with gargoyles.

Both ornamented and unornamented water spouts projecting from roofs at parapet level were a common device used to shed rainwater from buildings until the early eighteenth century. From that time, more and more buildings employed downpipes to carry the water from the guttering at roof level to the ground and only very few buildings using gargoyles were constructed. In 1724, the London Building Act passed by the Parliament of Great Britain made the use of downpipes compulsory on all new construction.

Bereits in der Romanik und später in der Gotik und Renaissance verwendete man, besonders bei größeren Kirchengebäuden, häufig dämonische Gestalten oder Tiere in einer symbolischen Bedeutung. Da sie sich als Wasserspeier an der Außenfassade der Kirchen und verständlicherweise niemals innen befinden, symbolisieren sie den Einfluss des Teufels auf die irdische Welt, der in Kontrast zur Reinheit des Himmelsreiches – symbolisiert durch das Innere der Kirche – steht. Diese wasserspeienden Wesen werden Gargoyles, auch Gargylen genannt und haben den Ruf, Beschützer zu sein. Ihr dämonisches Aussehen soll den Geistern und Dämonen einen Spiegel vorhalten, soll sie vergraulen und somit Kirchen und Klöster vor bösen Mächten schützen. Gargoyles werden oft mit animalischem Körper und Gesicht dargestellt, seltener mit menschenähnlichem Körper und dämonischen Gesichtszügen. Häufig haben sie Schwingen, mit denen sie aber laut Mythologie nicht fliegen, sondern nur gleiten können. Gargoyles besitzen mächtige, dreifingrige Klauen und sind, wie Drachen, 6-gliedrige Lebewesen.

An der Kathedrale von Laon entstanden um die Jahre 1220/1230 die wohl ältesten Beispiele der Gargouilles, denen die Wasserspeier von Notre-Dame in Paris im späten 13. bis frühen 14. Jahrhundert folgten. Die bizarren, schrecklichen und manchmal grotesken tierischen Formen der früh- und hochgotischen Wasserspeier, wurden ab dem 13. Jahrhundert zunehmend durch menschenähnliche Gestalten abgelöst, die im 15. Jahrhundert auch ihren übelabweisenden Ausdruck verloren. Ähnlich der Maske des hellenistischen Wasserspeiers in Abbildung 2, kamen wieder belustigende Gesichtsausdrücke zur Darstellung.

Als Symptom christlichen Antisemitismus sind aus dieser Zeit auch Wasserspeier erhalten, die der verächtlichen Darstellungen des Judentums dienen (vgl. Judensau).[2]

Neben steinernen Wasserspeiern gab es seit dem 16. Jahrhundert auch solche aus Metall. Gegen Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts verlor der Wasserspeier zunehmend seine Funktion, da man dazu überging, das Regenwasser in Regenrohren vom Dach wegzuführen. Mit dem Historismus des späten 19. Jahrhunderts kam es zu einer letzten kurzen Blüte des klassizistischen Wasserspeiers. Seit dem 20. Jahrhundert wird er in schmuckloser, einfacher Form als Röhre oder Rinne nurmehr Ablaufrinne, Abtraufe oder Ansetztraufe genannt. Bei modernen Flachdachgebäuden ist er generell als Notüberlauf zu finden, um eine Überlastung des Daches bei verstopften Regenabläufen zu verhindern.

Puff the Magic Dragon reigns far and wide across the park, Cambier in the land of Naples. With the sweep of a gentle talon, children are free to imagine, create, and frolic. Play, a delightful incentive, to maintain sanity and to encourage development – available to all ages!

Peter, Paul and Mary’s Puff the Magic Dragon is a classic and a favorite from my own childhood. I had no idea there was so much ‘controversy’ surrounding its lyrics. Guess that is partly due to the times and partly due to price of fame. No matter, this lovely sculpture always brings a smile! Cambier Park, Naples, FL
