📷 Typique...

📍Amsterdam, Pays-Bas

La photo, en noir et blanc, montre une rue d’Amsterdam typique, bordée d’immeubles étroits aux façades richement décorées. Les maisons, hautes et alignées, mêlent briques sombres et enduits clairs, avec des pignons ouvragés et de grandes fenêtres verticales. Au premier plan, une multitude de vélos est serrée contre le trottoir, formant un enchevêtrement presque graphique de cadres, de roues et de guidons. Des arbres dénudés étendent leurs branches au-dessus de la scène, soulignant l’atmosphère hivernale. Quelques passants apparaissent discrètement, donnant une touche de vie à cet ensemble urbain à la fois ordonné, vivant et profondément amstellodamois.

Bob Rae: "We do have to wake up. This is not business as normal. And this is not politics as usual. You don't go around threatening peaceful countries like Denmark and Greenland. You don't go around threatening your neighbours, like Mexico."

#OTD in 1955, Marian Anderson--considered one of the greatest-ever contraltos--became the first African-American to perform a lead singing role (and solo) at the Metropolitan #Opera. She sang the role of Ulrica in Giuseppe Verdi's 𝘜𝘯 𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘢 (A Masked Ball).
A stunning kodachrome photograph of singer Marian Anderson taken on 14 January 1940 by Carl Van Vechten. This photo along with most of her work is public domain and belongs to Yale University Library. She is seated and shown from the waist up against rich golden draped curtains, wearing an elegant off-the-shoulder black satin gown with dramatic puffed sleeves that fall off the arms. A prominent cluster of silk roses in shades of deep red, pink, and cream is attached to the bodice at the center. Her short, dark hair frames her face, and she gazes to the right of the camera with a calm, composed, and dignified expression, exuding grace and poise.
