PHOTO ALBUMS TO SHARE

"PHOTO ALBUMS TO SHARE" - This is the name I choose some months ago for another Blog, the truth is that I would like to have a Blog dedicated to my paintings, another to my miniature work, another one to my collections.... one more for my photos, and so on, but that is impossible I have no time for them all. So I think that for the moment I will concentrate in this Blog.

Now I would like to thank all my new followers, thank you very much and excuse me for my absence from now and then.

As I mentioned before I love to photograph everything that captures my attention, so I have thousands of photos in my files. I shall be pleased to share some of them with you, but please do not use my photos without asking me. You can leave here a message

Swan (Place Caldas da Rainha)

Those who love the art of photos knows that it involves lots of time to search, sellecting subjects,
keeping them in files and so on....

Besides I keep my photos I enjoy to see them, and I collect them as precious items for future art work whenever I want.

Please note the movement of the wings, it´s amazing

Beautiful photos Ana, it's so difficult to capture the birds and the water so perfectly.

I think it's fine to share everything in just one blog, it's all part of your creativity and we enjoy seeing all of your projects. And besides, you have the perfect title here already as it does say ARTS and Miniatures :) xx

HERCOLANEUM AND POMPEII

Hercolaneum was founded by Hercules according to mythological tradition . In 63A.D. the town was hit by a earthquake which attended all the Campania, and a few years later in 79 A.D. was devasted by the eruption of Vesuvios. When the eruption ended Hercolaneum was covered with a thick layer of mud (at some points over 10 meters deep). Abandoned by its inhabitants this town was never rebuilt.

The same happened to Pompeii, the reconstruction work that followed the earthquake was not yet completed when on August 24th, 79 AD Vesuvius unexpectedly awoke, submerging the countryside with ashes,, cinder and eruptive material, while rivers of lava mixed with mud followed down.

In 20 AD the Volcano was considered extinct by Strabone a geographer, therefore the population was taken by surprise and many of them were killed trying to escape. The eruption of the Volcano was so imense that the top part of the crater collapsed forming the present caldera.

This tragedy that lasted for three long days arrived to us through the letters of the writter Pliny the Younger to Tacitus.
Pompeii remained buried under a layer of ash with more than six meters deep preserving all the evidence of life by that moment, which came mericulously to light more than two centuries ago.
