The Cat of Z'Kantmud. sent on October 21, 2017 (10:37) by Massimo Schiavi. 84 comments, 1537 views. [retina]

at 105mm, 1/80 f/14.0, ISO 800, hand held.

Non è un gatto del Turkmenistan e neppure dell'Azerbaigian, ma un italianissimo felino che vive a Pedemonte (in lingua walser: Z'Kantmud) che è una frazione di Alagna Valsesia (in lingua walser: Im Land). Z'Kantmud è un piccolo villaggio costituito da non molte case, ma tutte in perfetta architettura walser. E' anche sede del Museo Walser. Scatto del mese di Agosto del 2017.

Sincerely Massimo I did not put 'I like' for the cat,
but for all the composition and colors that are around him!
Very nice photo, congratulations!

It's true Giorgio, and I thank you very much!
However, I have the same picture (more or less) without a cat and I have to say that this, with the cat, is livelier and enjoyable.
However, you are right, the main subject of the photo is the staircase with its flower pots!
Good evening, hello!

Massimo :-)

Beautiful shot, I really like it as a whole, the "model" seems to get off on a footpath, congratulations Massimo for the realization! ;-) :-) :-P
Good start next week! ;-)

a miter that has seen cooked and crude, has the look outdated ;-) the setting I like very much, between flowers and stones, the intimacy of the door of the house; the railing made with the branch of a tree, and the guardian to guard the entrances. very nice!
a warm greeting Massimo, GA

Tantissime grazie, Franco, per il tuo graditissimo commento.
I walser (da Walliser = vallesani, cioè del Canton Vallese), erano una popolazione di ceppo germanico proveniente dalla svizzera che si è installata, anche in quota, tutto intorno al Monte Rosa, sia sul versante italiano (Valsesia, Val d'Ossola e Val d'Aosta) sia su quello svizzero. Furono portatori (gelosi) di una loro particolare cultura e, in particolare, di una architettura tipica. La loro lingua, il Titsch (molto simile, ma non eguale, al Deutsch, lingua di origine germanica attualmente ancora comunemente parlata nei cantoni svizzeri tedeschi e che è equiparabile ad un dialetto tedesco) è ormai caduta in disuso ed è presente, quasi esclusivamente, nei toponimi delle aree in cui i walser sono stati presenti. Ad Alagna Valsesia, per esempio, da quel che mi hanno riferito, sono forse solo poco più di una decina di persone in grado di parlare in Titsch, e tutte piuttosto anziane. Purtroppo il mantenere le antiche tradizioni e culture è molto faticoso e non paga in termini economici e, dunque, c'è solo, in pochissimi valligiani, la voglia di tramandarle.
Restano, grazie a Dio, alcuni villaggi (come Z'Kantmud) in cui almeno l'architettura e certe piccole tradizioni (purtroppo molto poco la lingua) vengono conservate quasi esclusivamente a scopo turistico e, allora, io dico: viva il turismo !
Io, che amo le montagne e le loro culture, sostengo che il loro decadere sia una grandissima perdita, ma posso fare praticamente nulla per salvaguardarle.
Ciao e buona settimana entrante.

Massimo Sorriso

Simonetta, your comment and the careful reading of the photo made me very happy and thank you very much!
Along with three other Juzzini friends, on August 1, I went to Pedemonte (Z'Kantmud) to witness, with some shots, the culture and, above all, the walser's architecture, but we found a disgraceful light that prevented us from make presentable photos. So here is the cat and the entrance ladder to one of the walser buildings. But we will come back with more favorable light.
Also to you a warm greeting and a wish of good week!

Massimo :-)

Lory, as I wrote above, the cat, in my opinion, gives life to the shot that, otherwise, it could only be a beautiful postcard!
Thank you very much for the appreciation of the shot and the welcome comment!
Have a good week!

Z'Kantmud is less than a two-hour drive from my house, but, in sum, it's like traveling a culture, that walser, a very different and equally fascinating, at least for me that I love the mountain.
It's not Kazakhstan, but something exotic is really there.
Thank you very much, Sergio, for the welcome comment and for the appreciation of the shot and a wish of good week!
Hello!

Massimo :-)
