Amour

Quand l’Amour frappe à notre porte

Alors tout nous transporte

Amour rend fort et fragile

Comme de l’argile

Il donne tout à la fois

Larmes et sourire

Parfois

Souvent même pire

Il nous secoue

Nous traîne dans la boue

Nous donne souffrance

Parfois espérance

This is my best shot from last summer trip to Sicily. I kept it unposted for so long, because I am about to be away from flickr for a couple of weeks... so I wanted you guys to have something that I think it will be nice to look for so long. I am going west, as the beautiful light of this sunset shows...

:)

see you soon!

Lontano

Questa è la mia foto migliore fra quelle del viaggio in Sicilia. Non l'ho pubblicata prima perchè starò assente da flickr per un paio di settimane e per questo motivo ho voluto lasciarvi qualcosa che reputo bello da guardare per un tempo così lungo. Vado ad Ovest, verso la bella luce di questo tramonto...

:)

A presto!

una bella mattinata di sole..

..c'è chi ne approfitta per fare una passeggiata in barca e godersi uno splendido mare calmo.....c'è chi fa la corsetta sul bagnasciuga per smaltire quei chiletti di troppo acquistati durante le feste......e chi scambia confidenze... convinte che il mare, pur origliando, non tradirà mai i loro segreti....

Press L for the best view!

Taken from the same helipad from my previous shot, this time looking in the opposite direction.

You can clearly see the Burj Al Arab, the Jumeira Palm Island and The Atlantis hotel, and the buildings on the far end are in Dubai Marina, where I live.

I don't like the building on the left, but it was very difficult to compose differently as I was already completely on the right side. I also did not want to crop out the building and then cut off the main 'vein' and also lose all the details on the left far end.

Please check the whole series so far:

El Carrión nace a 2.220 msnm, en la Laguna de Fuentes Carrionas, en el término municipal de Velilla del Río Carrión, dentro de un circo glaciar rodeado de cumbres de más de 2.400 m de altitud.

En la ciudad de Palencia el río se abre en varios brazos dos veces formando dos islas de gran tamaño y tres más pequeñas. El Carrión fue desde tiempos muy remotos el centro de la vida capitalina, el Puentecillas (el puente más antiguo de la ciudad, de origen romano) ya permitía el paso desde la fachada principal de la catedral al Sotillo de los Canónigos (situado en la segunda isla más grande).

On this photograph the Comments were deactivated......this was to see how a brighter copy looks here but with the bad connection , there were glitches and it showed up as public instead of private.

This is a brighter version of the photograph posted earlier. Printing the image shows up the pictures to be dark and the sheer power and dynamism that a back lit screen that shows high contrasts even in the darker areas tends to deceive the eyes.

So to get a new print done, this photo has been brightened a tad in the paint brush area and a bit of the face.

After a couple of weeks with enormous amounts of snow it finally got a bit warmer the last couple of days and it started raining. Don't get me wrong, I love snow, but those amounts were just too much.

ALCAZAR DE SEGOVIA.

El alcázar es de cuatro diferentes estilos: románico, gótico, mudéjar, renacentista. Incluye un patio, una fosa, el puente levadizo y en su interior una capilla y varias salas nobles que pueden ser visitadas por el público. Algunas de las salas contienen los retratos de todos los Reyes de España.

El alcázar ha inspirado los dibujos de varios castillos de Disney.

Se encuentra encima de una roca con forma de proa de un barco dominando los ríos Eresma y Clamores. Fue una inexpugnabile fortaleza durante siglos, por eso era la clava de la denominación de Castilla. Isabel la Católica salió del alcázar para ser proclamada reina en la Plaza Mayor de Segovia.

mi primera foto con el Sigma 10-20 utilizando un filtro polarizador y luego hice unos arreglos con el Photoshop utilizando la tableta digitalizadora. Creo que me está gustando mis dos nuevos juguetes....

La Presa de Soria es la mayor del archipiélago canario con 32 millones de metros cúbicos. Como se dice aquí, no se llenará nunca... ¿será cierto?

For Cliché Saturday's Scavenger Hunt – [17] Amusement Park or Rides

Chicago – Saturday in the Park

Take a spin on a thrill ride; the Wave Swinger, an old fashion swing!

"Guests have the opportunity to swing around Pier Park on the thrill ride 'Wave Swinger'. The ride towers nearly forty feet over a pond of water. This exhilarating forty-eight seat swing ride lifts visitors fourteen feet in the air, and whisks them around for a thrill that shows guests a view of the lakeside never before seen."

I think I have a few good old fashioned clichés in here!!

Happy Cliché Saturday!!

*FP EXPLORE*

Processed from a single RAW image, no HDR or fusion. Lesson of the day: trying to shoot without a tripod in low light conditions with a toddler pushing and pulling you is a real challenge! Truth is, I would've been happy with whatever result... it was a spectacular light show! Enjoy and have a great weekend!!

Deserto di Erg Chebbi - Merzouga - Marocco 2010

subsonica - nei nostri luoghi e nei ricordi

Welcome to my first upload in 2011. I hopy the new year started well for everyone of you.

Concerning the photo: On our Lake District tour we were heading to Tarn Hows in the morning and came across some beautiful misty landscapes where I took this photograph. These scenes with heavy morning sun and aditional fog are really hard to capture (imo). The OOC picture looks like crap and it took me hours (seriously) to process it to what it's now. And I'm still not happy with it... anyway I'm going to show it...

Better to see it in large so press "L" =)

PS: my last upload is my new buddy icon... yay!

Press "L" or the magnifying glass to view on black.

There were just four of us down on the beach while nine others jockeyed for position up on the hillside. Of the shots I've seen so far, everyone came away with something different but equally as good. I've been to this spot once before and came away with a few very nice shots especially here and here. This time I thought I'd try a slightly different perspective and I'm fairly happy with the result.

Thanks to my good buddy Matt Granz for setting up this evening adventure and a very special thanks to his friend, Dave who was kind enough to chauffeur our very large group to and from the drop off point. No injuries and no arrests!

After accomplishing our primary target, I had the privilege and pleasure of shooting around San Francisco with Bob, Alan, and Terence. All local guys who know the city well and the cool places to go. Although I didn't get THE shot that has eluded me each time I've been here, this time because of a very large fence put up for the New Year's fireworks, I may have a shot or two I'm happy with. It's not a long drive for me and I can always go back for day trips.

If you have a chance, please check out the photostreams of all of the great photographers who made it on this night. As always, thanks for having a look and Happy New Year!

Been going through my favorites over the last day or two. There are so many great photographs out there. Many faves are from those of you who regularly comment on my post which is much appreciated, as I really respect and admire your work. As a final post of 2010 I thought that I would add your photos to one of mine that I took recently in East Village, New York. It's a pastiche of the Led Zeppelin cover Physical Graffiti, but I added some of my flickr heros in the windows.

What would be cool is if those of you that I have featured would add a note to your image and hence feed back to your stream. I am sorry to those of you that I have not featured, I only had room for 16 images.

Wishing all a Happy & Prosperous New Year

This Boat is Logged in a pond related to fishery and awiting next rain to come , the river Bhrammaputra is just nearby , Still its destination not decided till rain comes for him, It's Like our rural life style, They remain awaiting till the growth is matured and Taken to the market for sell, Our Bangladesh is a land of River and Boat, Sometime the boats remain in rest till the next monsoon,

Life also need rest like this Boat, The Light on this fore ground is the significant future and the reflection at the back is the hope for our restless Socio economic Emancipation in BANGLADESH .I made this snap shot a Art wok with the help of Photo shop CS-5

Was cleaning up the hard drive looking back at the year, this is one I wasn’t at all happy with it at the time, but it is kind of growing on me now, see what you think.

Press L to view in Lightbox

First of all, many thanks to everyone who shared their thoughts on my first light painting Love At First Light, which has this evening appeared on the Flickr Blog!

The SOOC version of this shot is below. It's becoming more and more common with the misty weather that my night shots around Rickmansworth (on the edge of London) take on this tequila/nicotine stain from the sodium street lighting (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium-vapor_lamp if you're interested - had a few messages on this front last time I mentioned it!).

Whilst it started off as alluring, I've found it can be a little excessive and overpowering, as shown below. This shot only really came to life after I applied to the lower half of the frame a wholesale desaturation and cooling filter in the white balance.

There's a semi-ironic theme to my last few weeks pictures where the SOOC version needs processing to make it look less processed! This was definitely one of these.

It's a 520 second exposure, taken with the tripod stood on the ice itself. Whilst I crouched, worrying.

Black does boost its impact!

Since it was taken the ice has thawed, and yet, even as I type these words, the mercury is hurtling plumb down into Hades, and the winter cometh once more.

Hope everyone is having a great week - just back after a few days off and catching up now.

The urban Christmas Tree.

The Brooklyn Bridge is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States. Completed in 1883, it connects the New York City boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn by spanning the East River. With a main span of 1,595.5 feet (486.3 m), it was the longest suspension bridge in the world from its opening until 1903, and the first steel-wire suspension bridge.

Originally referred to as the New York and Brooklyn Bridge, it was dubbed the Brooklyn Bridge in a January 25, 1867 letter to the editor of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle,[5] and formally so named by the city government in 1915. Since its opening, it has become an iconic part of the New York skyline. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964[4][6][7] and a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1972.[8] - Wiki

Giorni fà, ho letto su internet, che in una città del nord Italia, non sarebbe stato più possibile, finanziare una gara di corsa cittadina, in quanto chi vinceva, era sempre una persona di " COLORE " !!!..

Pensate, se al sottoscritto dicessero:

Non puoi lavorare fra noi, perchè sei

bianco !!!....

Sono e sarò sempre per il rispetto delle regole.

Questo è fondamentale.

Io rispetto tutto dove vado:

usanze, regole, costumi e religione.

Questo, dovrebbero fare i nostri governanti italiani verso queste persone.

Solo questo.

most of the snow has melted already.. almost as quickly as it came. i hope it's not the last of the snow this winter.
