As in the past tense of lay, not telling us porkies!
A Flickr friend recently made me realise I have a gaping hole in my Australian animal posts. I have emu, kangaroo, tassie devil but was missing the obvious. So here is a little chap doing what Koala's do best - sleeping in impossible positions in trees. Still I'd prefer a koala bear to that other Aussie deadly creature know to terrify overseas visitors - the drop bear!
Cheers all :)
The fountain was cast in Paris and completed for the 1876 International Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia, the same exhibit at which Bartholdi displayed the Statue of Liberty’s right arm and torch. Bartholdi had originally intended to complete the Statue of Liberty in 1876 in time for the Country's Centennial, but construction was delayed. While the remainder of the statue was being completed in Paris, Bartholdi displayed the arm and torch at the Philadelphia Exhibition, along with his commissioned fountain
It was something like a clue to the forgotten murder...
Such a fascinating place, Ich bin ein Berliner!.
And of course, home of the wonderful, ever reliable Barkas B1000 - minibuses manufactured during the heydeys of East Germany.

this is why photography is so intriguing to me. why it fills me up. it is the single moment when all falls into place and is captured. looking back on this day, if she had not been in her gown and the sun didn't fall just perfectly, or the rain didn't shower... her shadow would not have made a heart... happy moments & shutter clicks...
Human silhouette in front of the vast majority our Milky Way Galaxy. Truly breath taking to even contemplate that we are nothing compared to the cosmos. Every human experience means almost nothing and lasts for almost no time relative to the age and magnitude of the universe. So sit back and enjoy one of the most spectacular shows it has to offer

En las Bardenas Reales no está permitido fotografiar de noche. Esta imagen fue tomada sobre las once de la mañana.
El aspecto de hora azul se ha conseguido mediante procesado digital.
Las Bardenas Reales de Navarra son una superficie extraterrestre fabricada en la Tierra por la conjunción de un terreno compuesto por arcillas, yesos y areniscas, que se extienden a lo largo y ancho de 42.000 hectáreas por el Sureste de Navarra y tres términos municipales de Aragón.
El agua y el viento han hecho, a lo largo de los siglos, que esa superficie rugosa, redondeada, con formaciones y surcos que parecen gigantescas venas, hayan ido conformando un paisaje que nos recuerde invariablemente el aspecto de las imágenes que hemos ido conociendo de la luna, Marte y otros planetas del sistema solar a los que el hombre ha ido enviando sucesivas expediciones, para fotografiarlos y conocer sus características físico-químicas.
Sabía desde hacía muchos años que experimentaría sensaciones peculiares cuando lograse visitar ese lugar... Y no me defraudó.
Si existe en la mente humana algo parecido al sentimiento de "soledad cósmica", esas dos palabras puestas una junto a la otra son las más precisas que se me ocurren para definir cómo me sentí durante el tiempo que pasé allí.
Pero hubo más.
Me sentí tan impelido a recorrer caminos y más caminos que, cuando llegó el momento, confieso que me costó salir de allí. Y no porque me hubiese perdido, sino porque alguna fuerza que desconozco me empujaba a quedarme y seguir recorriéndolos.
En ningún momento exerimenté ninguna sensación parecida al miedo, pero sí estuve permenentemente imbuido en una especie de seguridad de que estaba recorriendo una tierra "viva", que en algunos momentos me dio la impresión de estar en un casi imperceptible movimiento.
Contaré más anécdotas de aquellas dos jornadas en próximas imágenes... Y volveré allí, SEGURO!!!

The construction of this building began approx 600, during the reign of the Visigoths, as the church of St.Vincent. This church bought from the Christians in the years 784-785 emir of Cordoba of the Umayyad dynasty, Abd ar-Rahman I (756-788) and built a mosque in its place. Mosque adjoined to palace of the Emir of Cordoba. Work on its construction began in the year 785. It was developed in stages over two centuries. Inside was created the forest about 850 columns. In 1236 Córdoba was recovered by Christians. At the beginning of the 16th century Emperor Charles V ordered to demolish part of the mosque was built and the church-cathedral, which, despite the large size, is lost in the forest of columns. The initiator of this idea, Emperor Charles V said about it later;
"Ruined something that was unique and have built something that can be seen everywhere."

Budowę obiektu rozpoczęto ok. 600 roku, za panowania Wizygotów, jako kościół pod wezwaniem św. Wincentego. Kościół ów odkupił od chrześcijan w latach 784-785 emir Kordoby z dynastii Umajjadów, Abd ar-Rahman I (756-788) i wybudował na jego miejscu meczet. Meczet przylegał do pałacu emira Kordowy. Prace przy jego budowie rozpoczęto w 785 r. Był etapami rozbudowywany przez dwa wieki. We wnętrzu stworzono las około 850 kolumn. W 1236 r. Kordoba została odzyskana przez chrześcijan. Na początku XVI wieku Cesarz Karol V kazał wyburzyć część meczetu i pobudowano kościół-katedrę, który mimo dużych rozmiarów, ginie w lesie kolumn. Inicjator tego pomysłu, Cesarz Karol V powiedział o niej później;
"zniszczyliście coś, co było jedyne w swoim rodzaju i zbudowaliście coś, co można zobaczyć wszędzie".
MEXICO , Playa Marona,
Nach der anstrengenden Rundreise mit vielen Kilometern, den zahlreichen Pyramiden-Aufstiegen und zahlreichen Stadtbesichtigungen in einem tollen und interessanten Teil Mexikos erlaube ich mir noch 3 Tage Erholung in diesem schönen Hotel an der Riviera Maya.
After the strenuous round trip with many kilometers, the numerous pyramid climbs and numerous city tours in a great and interesting part of Mexico, I allow myself another 3 days of relaxation in this beautiful Hotel Catalania on the Riviera Maya.

Here's my take on the nights festivities at Shiprock in New Mexico. Wayne Pinkston, Sandra Herber, Chris Wrey, Willa Wei, Huibo Hou, and Wenjie Qiao and I, all converged on this formation with some serious intent on one very windy chilly evening.
Hot tip of the day!!! :)

With many thanks to David Hulme (here on Flickr) who's wonderful image of this wreck entirely inspired this picture. One of my all time favourite images here on Flickr, its impact was so strong as to finally make my mind up to visit this area of Scotland, and making my own picture of it was always at the top of my itinerary.
