Golden Hour in Vancouver - Autumn Magic at Stanley Park
A perfect autumn evening along the shores of Stanley Park in Vancouver. As the setting sun bathes the glass facades of the skyline in warm golden light, fallen maple leaves form a natural carpet in the foreground. The empty park bench invites contemplation and becomes a silent observer of this magical fusion between urban life and autumn nature. Visit me on www.patrikseiler.com

Leaving the tropics
Good enough for me, you don't need to put a pacific NW man into hawaii to risk him getting tanned and eaten by mosquitos. Like I don't belong in the tropics. I don't belong in the jungle, I belong in the forest. Now I have to give credit for this to a friend of mine who pays for adobe (something I refuse to get cause of it's subscription bullcrap, I want to fully own what I buy). As much as I disapprove of that app, I cannot deny it saved the day by replacing the sky. This was a blank, white sky in the original shot and I wanted it to look like a sunset shot, something I didn't get much of while here. So adobe potentially saved me around 3 hours from making that singular mask for the sky. Now if you're still wondering where this is, those buildings you see is the Pearl Harbor visitor center. Not the most exotic looking buildings in Oahu but still puts a stronger American hook on this shot. It was a little harder to put new masks on this when I returned to use my own editing software but I eventually got them down (palm fronds are some of the most annoying objects to make layers for). Now if you excuse me, I have a plane to catch. I wouldn't be opposed to returning to Hawaii at some point in the future but it's just not a place a can stay at long term.

2026-06-12 (22) Spiaggia del Tramariglio & Baia di Porto Conte & Torre di Tramariglio (XVI secolo)
Construction of the tower began in 1585 at the behest of the Aragonese (who ruled Sardinia at this time) to counter and deter Saracen invasions, and it was likely completed between 1588 and 1590; it was erected on a promontory jutting out between the bays of Porto Conte and Dragunara, at an elevation that ensured visibility of the neighboring Nuova, Bulo, Pegna, and Punta Giglio towers; the structure belonged to the senzillas category, meaning it was designed for light defense.

Origin of the Town and Its Name There are several legends about the origins of the settlement from which the present-day town of Bakar developed. One tradition claims that it was founded by Jews who fled Jerusalem in the 1st century AD after the destruction of the city by the Roman Emperor Titus. Another suggests that an Illyrian settlement existed here long before the Common Era, with the Illyrians gradually assimilating the earlier Celtic inhabitants. The most widely accepted theory is that a significant Roman settlement named Volcera once stood on the site of present-day Bakar. During the 13th century, the names Bukar, Bkri, and the Italian form Buccari appear in historical records. The town's name is first mentioned in the Vinodol Code (Vinodolski zakonik) of 1288. It is believed that the name may derive either from the nearby copper ore mine or from the Croatian word bukara, a traditional wooden jug whose shape resembles that of Bakar Bay. The Bakar chronicler Bartol Barčić, in his 1740 manuscript Historia d'alcune antiche memorie di Buccari, also mentions the names Patrassi, Valcera, and Lokaj, the latter of which survives today as the name of one of the town's streets. The Feudal Period Bakar experienced its greatest development between 1225 and 1774. During this period, it functioned as an independent municipality (communitas) with its own administration, largely influenced by Glagolitic clergy, as well as its own ecclesiastical and military organization. From the 13th century onward, Bakar became part of the Vinodol County, governed by the Croatian noble families Frankopan and later Zrinski, together with the princes of Krk. Despite these political changes, the town retained its importance as a commercial and transportation center, continuing to prosper until the second half of the 13th century, when conflicts with the Republic of Venice resulted in parts of the town being burned. In 1364, Prince Stephen I of Krk established the Lordship of Bakar, whose final boundaries were defined in 1455. He also determined the borders between the Bakar estate and the neighboring lordships of Hreljin and Grobnik, giving the surrounding area the name Meja. The Chamber Period Following the execution of the Zrinski family in 1671, Bakar came under direct Austrian state administration, marking the beginning of the Chamber Period. Although this era initially brought the confiscation of property and the decline of the local economy, it also elevated Bakar to the seat of a captaincy responsible for the entire Vinodol region. The town's judicial importance also increased with the establishment of the Imperial and Royal Vicariate, a high court whose jurisdiction extended across a large part of Gorski Kotar and the Croatian Littoral. The court had the authority to impose even the death penalty. The Reign of Empress Maria Theresa On 13 May 1778, Empress Maria Theresa proclaimed Bakar a Free Royal Town, granting it the status of a free commercial port. This privilege stimulated maritime trade, commerce, and extensive urban development. Less than a year later, on 23 April 1779, Bakar was granted the status of a Royal Town. The Empress awarded the town its official coat of arms, confirmed its autonomy, and granted it ecclesiastical patronage. In the same year, 1779, Bakar also established its first four-year primary school, marking an important milestone in the town's educational development. 4379 R Bakar Bakarac Izdavač Foto Inventa 228 Jež Split ~1975. colnect.com/en/postcards/postcard/523489-Bakar_-_Bakarac-... ---- Nastajanje grada i imena Postoje legende kako je naselje iz kojega je nastao današnji grad, nastalo naseljavanjem Židova iz Jeruzalema koji su u 1. st. pobjegli od razaranja rimskog cara Tita ali i one koje govore o postojanju naselja koje su osnovali Iliri još davno prije naše ere asimilirajući prvotne stanovnike Kelte. Najvjerojatnije je da se na području današnjeg grada nalazilo znatnije naselje imena Volcera koje su naseljavali Rimljani. U 13.st. se spominju imena Bukar i Bkri te talijanski naziv Buccari. Ime grada se po prvi puta susreće u Vinodolskom zakoniku (1288.), a postoje pretpostavke kako je nastalo zbog blizine obližnjeg rudnika bakarske rude ili od riječi bukara koja označava drveni vrč oblikom sličan Bakarskom zaljevu. Bakarski kroničar Bartol Barčić, u rukopisu iz 1740. „Historia d`alcune antiche memorie di Buccari“, spominje i imena Patrassi, Valcera, kao i naziv Lokaj, koji danas nosi jedna gradska ulica. Feudalno doba Grad se najviše razvija između 1225. i 1774. godine. Do tada postoji kao samostalna općina (communitas) s vlastitom upravom (koja se zasnivala na propovijedima svećenika glagoljaša), te crkvenom i vojnom organizacijom. Od 13.st. ulazi u sklop Vinodolske župe kojom, uz ostale krčke knezove, upravljaju velikaške hrvatske obitelj Frankopan i Zrinski. I dalje zadržava samostalnu ulogu prometnog i trgovačkog središte te sve više jača do druge polovice 13.st. i sukoba s Mletačkom Republikom, kad biva djelomično spaljen. 1364. krčki knez Stjepan I osniva bakarsku gospoštiju (dominij) koja dobiva konačne granice tek 1455., te određuje granice grada s hreljinskim i grobničkim dominijem, a kraju daje naziv Meja. Komorsko doba Nakon pogibije Zrinskih,1671. grad dolazi pod austrijsku državnu upravu i ulazi u Komorsko doba. Iako ovo razdoblje započinje pljačkama dobara i uništavanja postojeće privrede, stavlja Bakar u važan položaj kapetanije nadležne za cijeli Vinodol. Proširena je sudska djelatnost osnivanjem visokog suda zvanog Carski i kraljevski vikarijat, čija je nadležnost obuhvaćala široko područje Gorskog kotara i primorja te je podrazumijevala i donošenje presude smrtne kazne. Vladavina Marije Terezije 13. svibnja 1778., Bakar je proglašen slobodnim gradom poveljom carice Marije Terezije te dobiva status slobodne trgovačke luke što dovodi do razvoja pomorskog prometa, trgovine i pojačane izgradnje. Sljedeće godine, 23. travnja, dobija status kraljevskog grada te mu carica dodjeljuje grb,autonomiju i crkveni patronat. 1779. osnovana je i prva četverogodišnja osnovna škola. ---------------------------
