Back in October, I was gallivanting around the countryside when I happened across this restaurant called the Fishermen's Inn. I had planned on eating there someday so I was quite saddened to see that the doors were shuttered. I spent a few hours shooting there ... and I just realized that I had completely forgotten about that folder of images! A lot of really nice fall color in there. I think I'll dig them out when I get tired of winter!
I mention this because the photo above, of a snow-laden juniper branch, was photographed at the same location this past Saturday ... after our Friday snowstorm. I remembered the Fall shoot, and how much I loved the location ... remembered that bright red building ... all the wonderful ponds & fences ... and just knew that it would make a fine backdrop against the newly fallen snow. I wore my snow pants so I could frolic & wallow in the snow! It makes me laugh to think about someone trying to figure out what the heck was going on there by the tracks I left in the snow!!
And by the way? NO TRESPASSING signs are posted everywhere!!! Not a problem!
Seriously, this place is amazing ... and to see it closed is such a bummer. The entire 17-acre grounds, is decorated with nautical whimsy ... a striped lighthouse, a rowboat planted on its end in the grass, buoys, anchors and chains, gazebos, charming little arched bridges .... and really: a photographer's dream! I posted a few images in comments to give you a better sense of this beautiful place.

The Sierra high country is timeless. These granite mountains, these meadows, and even this tree sentinel have been here longer than I've been alive and will be here much longer after I am gone. They stand day after day, month after month, year after year. Not waiting for anything, not expecting anything. No deadlines, no schedules, no Mondays, Wednesdays, or Saturdays.
If you spend enough time in the mountains, you begin to tap into that endless cycle. The feeling of "having to do something" slips away, along with pressures, schedules, and responsibilities. I don't know anything quite so pacifying and relieving as connecting with the stillness of the mountains.

In Raw Converter (Nikon Capture NX2)
- Processed single raw file twice, once for sky and once for the foreground and tree
- Global contrast for added pop
- Local brightness/contrast adjustments to brighten tree, enrich the sky, add contrast to granite
In Photoshop:
- Manual blend of two tiffs for master composite using an initial gradient mask, refined using a luminosity mask to paint in tree detail in the sky
- Selective sharpening of the granite, the tree, and the mountains
- Soft light burn / dodge layer, burned granite slightly
- Curves layer to add a little more saturation and oomph to sky
- Color balance layer to remove slight excess warm tint
All the best!

I also have a similar shot to this from a few years ago. See here
By the way: The Ferrari boat is new. The one you can see in the old shot burned down, but the owner got a new one ;-)

'Jacob Grimm wrote that by inscribing "aemaeth" upon the ancient Golem's brow, the clay man lived by drawing energy from the word for "truth". But simply removing the "ae" to form "maeth" or "death" returned the Golem back to inanimate clay.'
'Whereas NATO Golems turn to metal statues in death, spilling blood and oil onto the paving, right?'
'Right, though it takes a little more than harsh language. But the old AE Harpoons are perfect for that. The rocket doesn't penetrate that well-'
'snerk.'
'-but the ability to fire multiple shots overwhelms it with one clip. And Golem legs are under a lot of stress as it is.'
'And Golem jump packs are pretty flammable.'
'Got that right.'
So so much that has happened the last week. I want to say, thanks for all the attention I have gotten, it has been unreal for me!!

This image was taken about 20 minutes after an earlier post, titled “Setting into the Mist”. Therefore, it seemed fitting to post this version as a part 2.
The mist had now completely engulfed the valley between my camera and Mt. Rainier. About 30 minutes after this image was captured you could have stood at this exact spot, and you would have seen absolutely nothing but mist.

I found this poem a few months ago - Folded, printed on mimeograph paper. It was tucked between the dog-eared pages of Shange's book. It is a book that I've had since grad school. I forgot how much I love the words, and they just seemed to fit...

I'm using the Haida 1000x ND filter. I had a B+W before, but it produced a strong red color cast and it cost 90€ with 77mm thread, compared to the 35€ i paid for the Haida, which produces far better colors.

Firstly, a very happy new years to everybody!!
Its great to be back on Flickr after a long break. I had a very eventful and exciting road trip across some of the most untouched parts of India. It was a great experience to say the least but our car broke down a couple of times and we wasted a lot of time trying to get the vehicle repaired. But on the whole, it was a fascinating journey and I will be sharing some of the picture with you in the coming days.
We ended our trip in Goa, which is arguably the party capital of India. We spent our new years eve with a bunch of friends in Goa before heading back home. The image you see if from the new years eve, the last sunset of the year 2011.
This is when we bid goodbyes to the year 2011 only to welcome the new year, which brings a lot of surprising and exciting times ahead of us.
Hope all of you have a wonderful year ahead, filled with joy and excitement. I will catchup with your streams today.
Thanks to all of you for your comments, favorites, invites and inspiration in 2011.
Wishing everyone all the best in 2012.

The Grossglockner High Alpine Road is a panoramic road in Austria. The most famous route through the Alps ends just before the jewel in the Hohe Tauern national park's crown: the highest mountain and the largest glacier in Austria, the Großglockner 3,798 m and its glacier, the Pasterze. You will have a driving and nature experience of a special kind on 48 kilometres of high alpine road with 36 bends, and an altitude ascent to 2,504 metres! You pass through a unique world of mountains with blossoming alpine meadows, fragrant mountain forests, massive cliffs and eternal ice to the foot of the Grossglockner, the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe.
The Grossglockner high Alpine road in Austria is 48 kilometers of pure driving pleasure. The route is described in the brochure as a Bikers Heaven. The Großglockner Hochalpenstraße Road was built between 1930 and 1935, to fight unemployment and boost tourism in Salzburg. It is in within the Nationalpark Hohe Tauern. Closed in winter until end of October to beginning of May. Photo taken from the car park of the Edelweisspitze. A beautiful panoramic view on the Fuscher Törl, a 2428 meters high mountain pass.
De Großglockner Hochalpenstraße is één van de mooiste bergwegen ter wereld en zeker de moeite waard om te bezichtigen. Deze panoramische tolweg verbindt de deelstaat Salzburg met Karinthië. De 47,8 km lange weg leidt middenin het Hohe Tauern National Park naar de hoogste berg van Oostenrijk, de Großglockner 3.798m en zijn gletsjer, de Pasterze. De Pasterzegletsjer is wel 10 km lang en heeft een oppervlakte van bijna 20 m2. De Großglockner Alpenstraße voert je door een wild en rotsachtig landschap. Maar liefst 36 haarspeldbochten zorgen ervoor dat je uiteindelijk tot een hoogte van 2.504 meter stijgt. Tijdens de rit wordt je getrakteerd op adembenemende uitzichten. Ook kun je genieten van de aanblik van enkele honderden bergtoppen van boven de 3.000 meter. Onderweg op de Großglockner Alpenstraße kun je eventueel stoppen bij verschillende uitzichtplaatsen en informatiepunten. Voor kinderen zijn er speeltuintjes en ook is het mogelijk om in echte sneeuw te spelen. Er zijn tevens 2 kabelbanen die je de mogelijkheid bieden om nog meer van de mooie omgeving te bekijken.

Amanece con niebla en la Laguna de Boada de Campos./ Sunrise and fog in Boada de Campos Lagoon
♫ Chris Garneau - Leaving Song.♫
Fotografía unida a esta canción de mi cantante revelación del año.
Cuando la gente que daba luz a la vida, se va, te sientes abandonado.
En 1998 la Fundación Global Nature inició las gestiones para la recuperación de la Laguna de Boada ( foto) , distante a tan sólo 11 kilómetros de la Laguna de la Nava ( foto) y con unas características ecológicas muy similares a este humedal.
Con el apoyo del ayuntamiento de Boada y el Ministerio de Medio Ambiente están ya inundadas 60 hectáreas del humedal.
Se pueden observar los miles de aves acuáticas que visitan esta laguna, especialmente el ánsar común, ya que este humedal es la tercera zona más importante dentro de España, con un contingente anual de entre 10.000 Y 12. 000 ejemplares.
Miles de aves acuáticas se establecen todos los inviernos en las lagunas de La Nava y Boada; ánades reales, cercetas comunes y patos cucharas
Durante la primavera y verano, avefrías, cigüeñelas, archibebes y fochas sacan a delante sus polladas en las aguas someras del humedal.
Antes del otoño varios miles de pequeñas aves como mosquiteros, carriceros o golondrinas se alimentan y descansan en los arroyos y la vegetación palustre.
Las vastas extensiones cerealistas que rodean ambas lagunas son el hábitat de una interesante comunidad de aves esteparias. Especies como la avutarda, ortega, aguilucho cenizo o calandria encuentran en esta zona un hábitat único dentro de Europa.
Photo attached to this song of my singer revelation of the year.
When people who gave light to life, is gone, you feel abandoned.
In 1998, the Global Nature Foundation initiated steps for the recovery of Boada Lake( photo ) , distant only 11 km from the Laguna de la Nava ( photo ) and ecological characteristics very similar to this wetland.
With the support of the City of Boada and the Ministry of Environment already flooded 60 hectares of wetland.
You can see the thousands of waterfowl that visit this lake, especially the common goose, and that this wetland is the third most important area in Spain, with an annual quota of 10,000 and 12. 000.
Thousands of waterfowl down every winter in the lagoons of La Nava and Boada, mallards, teal and ducks spoons
During the spring and summer, lapwings, stilts, coots redshanks and bring to front their brood in the shallow waters of the wetland.
Before the fall several thousand small birds such as mosquito nets, warblers and swallows feed and rest in the creeks and marsh vegetation.
The vast cereal that surround both lakes are home to an interesting community of steppe birds. Species such as the Great Bustard, Sandgrouse, Montagu's harrier or calendar are in this area a unique habitat in Europe..
This was the sunrise over Seattle this morning, my friends. It was one of the most phenomenal sunrises I had seen in months. You can see Mount Rainier, Washington State’s tallest mountain (and dormant volcano) that dominates the horizon on unbelievably clear days such as this one.
An impromptu decision to curtail my morning workout at the gym gave way to serendipity, which led me to capture this image today. If I had followed my regular routine this morning, I would have completely missed this.
This image was taken from the balcony of my apartment. Enjoy!

Here is another shot from our trip to the backwaters in Kerala. this is what people living in these areas see on a daily basis. The beautiful Sunset across the array of coconut tress makes for an enchanting scene and for me, a first time visitor to this part of the world, it was nothing less than magical.
On the technical front, I'm not completely happy with this image. The light was too harsh and was difficult to handle the exposure. This is the best I could achieve after processing it but some good GND filters would have made my life easier and I'm planning to invest in them something soon.
Have a wonderful day ahead, my friends.

Instantanea tomada junto al puente "neuf" sobre el rio "Agoût" que refleja en sus
aguas los colores de las viviendas colgantes, que dan un toque magistral a esta
encantadora ciudad francesa.
Para captar todo el ancho del rio, y la gran profundidad de campo hacia el puente
viejo, utilizé una lente ultra gran angular, "Sigma 10 ÷ 20 mm EX DC"
El mejor momento para "inmortalizar" este bellisimo paraje, es durante las puestas
de sol, donde las ultimas luces hacen proyectar el cielo, las nubes y los colores de
las casas en las placidas aguas del Agoût, brindando un momento fotografico unico.

Yep! A squirrel and some bokeh! How's that for some good old fashioned cliché?
Just found out that I have another Thanksgiving dinner to attend at my brother-in-laws. I thought today would be a fun, lazy Flickr catch-up day! So ... I will attend to that this evening! And attend to more chowing today {just what I needed}!
Happy Cliché Saturday!!

Taken from my hotel room on the 22nd floor of the Cerulean Tower Hotel in Shibuya , Tokyo .
The Hotel actually had 40 floors on the elevator so I asked the concierge in my most polite japanese if it was possible for me to go higher up to make a photo ?
He said I could from the restaurant but it opens at 11am and unfortunately I had to leave at by 7.30 for the airport . I can only imagine how spectacular that view must have been. Shikata ga nai !

Yesterday was very significant day for our astronomical association. We had meeting with President of Republic of Croatia. He became our honorary member and he will be patronage for next year Ten days of astronomy in Daruvar. We are so proud about this. It's a great honor.
Also we had assembly. It was the occasion for socializing with other astronomers. We were at Petrov vrh, which is at an altitude of 547.00 m. Night was so clear. It was amazing to see so bright sky with so many stars.

When founded in 1781, the city you see here was coined “El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles”, or "The Town of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels”. It was a northern city of what was then known as “New Spain”, which is present-day Mexico. At the time of establishment by Los Pobladores (“the townspeople”), LA had an initial population of 48 people.
230 years later, that population is now 3.8 million. LA is the second largest city in the USA, and the 48th most populous city in the world.
New images of LA are now available in the “LATEST HITS” section of TIA’s official website.
