ALIEN BUG CYPERUS CAPITATUS PIPs ABOVE

Christians began to call Jewish converts "the new Christians" in order to distinguish them from the "old Christians," that is, from themselves. Jewish converts to Christianity were derogatorily called "converts" or, worse still, "marranos," meaning "pigs". The basic accusation was that these Jews were not real converts to Christianity, since they practiced Judaism clandestinely. And that actually used to be what happened. There were large numbers of Jews who appeared to be Christians but continued in secret with the practice of Judaism. All over the American continent there are people descended from Spanish or Portuguese settlers who have strange customs that they cannot explain. For example, despite being Catholic, on Friday night they go to the attic to light candles. They don't know the origin of the custom, but they do it anyway. It is clear that these people are descended from Jews who pretended to be Christians but continued to practice Jewish rituals clandestinely. The aim of the Inquisition was to find these people, torture them until they admitted their crime and then kill them. The use of the capirote or coroza was prescribed in Spain and Portugal by the holy office of Inquisition. Men and women who were arrested had to wear a paper capirote in public as sign of public humiliation. The capirote was worn during the session of an Auto-da-fé. The colour was different, conforming to the judgement of the office. People who were condemned to be executed wore a red coroza. Other punishments used different colours. During Easter and other festivities like November 1st "new christians" lived in terror because they were often victims of catholic fanatism and usually enclose themselves home not to be seen, hoping no fanatic group would pretext anything to go after them.

IT WAS RAINING... I WAS TRYING TO FIND WAYS TO COMPLY WITH THE CHALLENGE AND NOW I JUST CANNOT CHOOSE THE ONE I PREFER... SO HERE THEY ARE... ALL!

BIRDS AND BUGS ARE THE EASY ONE FOR ME, SO I DECIDED TO CHALLENGE MYSELF AND FIND SOMETHING ELSE... I HAD TO ASK FOR HELP TO IMPLEMENT THIS, IT CAME FROM A JOKE, "WHY DON'T YOU THROW A STONE IN THE AIR WITH ONE HAND AND SHOOT IT WITH THE OTHER" SAID MY BUDDY TO ME WHILE WALKING THE DOGS IN THE SERRA... SO I REPLIED HE WOULD THROW THE STONE AND I WOULD SHOOT IT, IT TOOK SEVERAL TIMES AND A LOT OF LAUGHS TILL I GOT SOMETHING DECENT, EVEN IF I DID NOT GET A PERFECT FOCUS ON THE STONE... I DID NOT HAVE COURAGE TO GO GIVE IT A BEST TRY. AND THERE IS MY FIRST IDEA, MAYBE GRUNGE, BUT I LIKE TO IMAGINE WEIRD THINGS. IN HERE WE HATE THOSE WIND TURBINES, THEY ARE NOISY, KILL BIRDS, ADULTERATE OUR WILD AND PEACEFUL LANDSCAPE, DO NOT EVEN REFRESH US IN SUMMER HOT DAYS... SO I DESTROYED ONE IN POSTPROCESSING FOR MY FUN AND BY DERISION PIPs ABOVE

I was lucky, we had our first rain of the season just in time for that picture! SOOC, no processing on this. Leica 50mm summilux + Macro adapter
