Fedoras afield

Well. Alan did post pics of the cotton in Nevada, might be similar!

I'm thinking they're hay bales, but having lived in a city my entire life, I'm not sure. Although a marshmallow farm sounds more exciting. The s'mores are gigantic!

Outside of Tesuque Market near Santa Fe, New Mexico. I think she likes the hat.

My wife and I went on a hunt for the headstone of my 6x Great Grandfather this afternoon. Not the most flattering pic, but the Caxton did a great job shielding me from random raindrops and branches.
No luck finding the headstone, but we're going back again soon.

 

[Strapped-4-Cache]

Checking another nearby cemetery for the headstone of my 6x great grandfather. Lots of information about him, but no one can give specific information about the location of the actual headstone.

This one only took up about a quarter of an acre in the middle of a subdivision. Lots of old headstones, but none of them turned out to be the right one.

A few thanksgiving photos - we gathered at my Dad's house on eastern Long Island. I brought an old Bohemian (along with my daughters) to share with the old bohemian.

Sophie thought I was a little too saturated so she took some of the yellow away.

A Proud Papa and Grampa for sure ...Good looking family, I have to go and put some eyedrops in now to recover from those Jackets and Alans shoes...

 

[hatophile]

Great pics guys.
Kind of a sexy pose on that Santa Fe mural.
Good luck in your quest Indiana Mark.
Alan, dashing gentlemen, beautiful doggie and daughters.
Your dad looks very debonair in beret.

Great pics, Alan!

 

[alanfgag]

Thank you. We count our blessings at being able to keep this gathering going. My dad is the youngest grandparent at 90. Donna's folks are 93 and 96. Her father insisted on driving the 65 miles to my dad's house. He felt good, except that he didn't want to have to step on the brake because his plantar warts were hurting. Donna drove home.

Wow, longevity runs in the family I see. Also glad to see they're still healthy. A very hardy generation that one.

 

[Daniele Tanto]

Alan really intimate portraits of three generation.
I admire the longevity and the wants of life of these old oaks.
It is an example.

Today we went to Ferrara 100 Km. southeast from Verona to see an exhibition
The show is dedicated to the birth of the Scuola Metafisica during the I WW
The painters are Giorgio De Chirico https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giorgio_de_Chirico e
Carlo Carrà https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Carrà
The day was pleasant and we avoid the fog in the plain, the best ennemy during winter for cars trip.

Monica and me in the yard of the Estense Castle

For all the lovers of Italian films, Ferrara was the location of De Sica Film "Il Giardino dei Finzi-Contini" that won the Accademy Award in 1971 as Best Foreign Language Film. It is the story of a Jews family of Ferrara from late 30 until the deportation

This Akubra Squatter served me well on the AT.

 

[g.durand]

Daniele, lovely photos, the setting for that great film, seeing a Surrealist painter and a Futurist painter, it looks like you had a great day.

 

[Daniele Tanto]

Thanks g.durand. Yes the Ferrara day is really pleasant.
For completion it is to say that Ferrara was the location for many films

and birthplace of Michelangelo Antonioni e Florestano Vancini two fundamental directors in the Italian cinema in the last century.
About the painters (De Chirico and Carrà) the Ferrara period (during a convalescent in the military hospital) was a pivotal moment in their artistic development.

Went to Baleal near Peniche, that was once a small isle, it's connected to the main land by the beach.

Those were taken from the blue arrow on the map.

Weather was not the best, lots of wind and rain.

 

[Daniele Tanto]

Bravissimo Joao!
The ocean and rocks are always impressive!

[Joao Encarnado]

Thank Y'all. It's a nice place, probably too cold on winter.

Hiked the Santa Elena Canyon in Big Bend National Park today in my 1950s Stetson Nutria Quality western. Incredible views.
