Peppino Mazzullo, Voice of Topo Gigio For Decades, Dies at 100 (Gift Article)

The actor played the role of the sweetly endearing mouse puppet, a character beloved by children all over the world — and, apparently, Ed Sullivan.

Us Yesterday I filmed a field of sunflowers. Beautiful, bright, and full of life,yet not one of them was facing me. I couldn’t help thinking about us. We live in a time when everyone seems to be looking in a different direction.

An old cabin in what's left of the settlement of Oysterville. #Photography #Oregon #Newport #PNW #OregonCoast #Oysterville #YaquinaBay

An image of a two story cabin on the banks of Yaquina Bay in what used to be the settlement of Oysterville. Oysterville was one of the earliest white settlements in the region, and was primarily involved in the harvesting of native oysters. These were depleted over time, and now Japanese oysters are farmed in the bay.

The Iron Bridge (View of Frankfurt) by Max Beckmann, 1922, Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen (Düsseldorf, Germany) #ArtHistory #ModernArt #Expressionism #GermanExpressionism

Beckmann's "The Iron Bridge (View of Frankfurt)" captures the pulsating energy of an industrial cityscape. This vibrant artwork showcases a bustling urban scene dominated by a grand suspension bridge stretching across the composition. The painting is a testament to Beckmann's ability to blend realism with expressionism, creating a dynamic and engaging visual experience.

Beckmann's distinctive style merges detailed realism with bold, expressive brushstrokes, reflecting his unique vision of urban life. The artwork exemplifies German Expressionism, characterized by its emotional intensity and distorted forms. Beckmann's use of vivid colors and dynamic lines conveys a sense of movement and energy, making the scene feel alive and vibrant.

The Old Port of Marseille by Paul Signac, 1907, State Hermitage Museum (St. Petersburg, Russia) #ArtHistory #ModernArt #NeoImpressionism

Light saturates the entire scene, defining the water's surface and the facades of the buildings. Several small boats, rendered in bold reds and blues, crowd the foreground and middle ground. Tightly packed structures. their windows and balconies suggesting bustling activity, line the quay. Thin, energetic lines define the masts and rigging of a central sailing vessel, its sails adorned with colorful, almost decorative patterns.

The application of color, broken into small distinct touches, dissolves the solidity of the architecture and the reflections in the water. This deliberate fragmentation of form translates the sensory experience of a vibrant, modern port. The immediacy of the scene, captured through rapid brushstrokes and an emphasis on light's ephemeral play, suggests a moment in time where industrial progress meets the enduring rhythms of maritime life. The painting captures the dynamic energy of a port city awakening to the new century.

This artwork is a key example of Neo-Impressionism, also known as Divisionism or Pointillism, which emerged in the late 19th century as a reaction against Impressionism. Signac, along with Georges Seurat, were leading figures in this movement. It bridges the gap between Impressionism's focus on capturing fleeting moments and the more structured, scientific approach of Post-Impressionism. The painting reflects the broader artistic trends of the early 20th century, including a move towards abstraction and a focus on the formal elements of painting.

#photography #farm #Corn #Autum @firemind1701b.bsky.social This is what I was posting about earlier. The front shows how corn is picked & driver's seat. Some of the gears & pullies are visible in the 2nd photo, which is older by a decade or three.📷🙏👨‍🌾

A closeup of the old fashion horsedrawn cornpicker/bailer. A pretty nifty machine.

I took this many years ago with a Pentax K1000. In this photo one is able to see more of the gers and chairs that make it work.

Bavarian Farmhouse Combine the living quarters and barn under one massive continuous roof. The farmhouse are deeply tied to the village's identity of sustainable community design. A historical but yet charming foundation. Many generations live and work under one roof and on the farm. #photography

Sundown on the Farm beyond the city limits, toward the open fields. This is where the larger farms are located, like this gem. Beautifully framed by pine trees and the Bavarian Alps. I think this view must make the hard work worth it. #farmhouse #countryside #bluehour #photography #landscape #travel

Joe A difficult transition from the city to the countryside. My presence wasn’t welcomed with any amount of enthusiasm, instead, a mild haze of hostility. One evening while walking my dog, Elvis. I met Joe, walking his dog, Lady. We walked our dogs, told stories and laugh together. #humanstories

#culture #photography #groceries #streetphotography #shopping @firemind1701b.bsky.social Some may wonder what the Amish community shops for today. Usually getting rides from "English" they go to the big stores and buy paper goods, diapers, caffeinated drinks, milk, and eggs. Not so old fashioned.

#photography #farm #culture #harvest @firemind1701b.bsky.social A slightly different angle to highlight how green it is for this time of year. Usually the grass is brown and the corn is drier. We just had 3 inches of rain the other night and have high humidity. 📷🍃🍂

A horse drawn bailing, or staking, machine cuts the corn and gathers it into bundles. I'll post what the machine looks like from my earlier photos soon.📷🧑‍🌾
