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).

Flooded floodplains along the river IJssel (Rhine delta) in the Netherlands

Last month (December 2010 and early January 2011) it snowed and rained a lot in the basin of the river Rhine (Switzerland, Germany, France and the Netherlands). The meltwater and rainwater has given flooding in the Rhine delta. Every few years there have been floods in the floodplain of the river IJssel. The IJssel, also called Gelderse IJssel, is the northern branch of the Rhine delta in the Dutch provinces of Gelderland and Overijssel.

 

Overstroomde uiterwaarden langs de IJssel bij Leuvenheim tussen Brummen en Spankeren

De afgelopen maand (december 2010 en begin januari 2011) heeft het eerst veel gesneeuwd en daarna geregend in het stroomgebied van de Rijn (Zwitserland, Duitsland, Frankrijk en Nederland).

Het smeltwater en het regenwater hebben flinke overstromingen gegeven in de Rijndelta. Ook bij de Gelderse IJssel, de meest noordelijke tak van de Rijndelta van Arnhem in Gelderland tot Kampen in Overijssel.

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.

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.

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

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.

 

I was down here on the way back from work late evening one night in the summer, I had got a few of the three Graces from the front and wanted some light trails, unfortunately being late evening by this point there wasn’t much traffic, or good light, but looking back at this I thought it might be worth sharing, like most shots I did plan to come back later in the year to do it again, with the nights closing you would be able to get a shot earlier with much more dense light trails... it’s still on my list...

  

The Royal Liver Building is a Grade I listed building located in Liverpool, England. It is sited at the Pier Head and along with the neighbouring Cunard Building and Port of Liverpool Building is one of Liverpool's Three Graces, which line the city's waterfront. It is also part of Liverpool's UNESCO designated World Heritage Maritime Mercantile City.

 

Opened in 1911, the building is the purpose-built home of the Royal Liver Assurance group, which had been set up in the city in 1850 to provide locals with assistance related to losing a wage-earning relative. One of the first buildings in the world to be built using reinforced concrete, the Royal Liver Building stands at 90 m tall and was, until the construction of St John's Beacon in 1965, the tallest building in the city.

 

Today the Royal Liver Building is one of the most recognisable landmarks in the city of Liverpool and is home to two fabled Liver Birds that watch over the city and the sea.

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.

 

After some requests, we will stop and rest a little on that bench...but not for too long: we’re so close to our destination!

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

Guru Bimbabati Devi is one of the most acclaimed dancers of Manipur. She is the daughter of Guru Kalabati Devi who is a well known name in the world of Classical dance.

 

Like most Manipuri dances Ras-Lila is associated with Lord Krishna; here you can see Krishna ( Guru Bimbabati ) is playing with Radha & her consorts. I am fan of this dance form - its color, costume, rhythm and swift movement is mesmerizing.

 

Every year Konark Festival is held at an Open Air Theater where the famous Sun Temple makes the back drop. In front of the 13th century architectural marvel India's best Classical dancers enthrall a large gathering of Desi & International audience for three days. Incredible Experience !

  

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.

Two hearths burn firewood in a still to make alcohol from the juice of cashew apples.

 

Goa is known for its beaches, its food and the non interfering locals who do not bother the semi clad or ill clad or not clad touristas seeking their moments in the sun and the sand. Imagine a beach in North India, it would be a riot of sorts with rape pillage and a fight every 5 minutes.

 

The food is good and the booze is still cheap. Goa has its own trademark local brew called Fenni that is distilled from the juice of the cashew apples. The fruits come in season in April and May and the valleys waft with the persistent sweet and cloying bouquet of the delicate but strong cashew apple juice.

 

The apples are picked and then crushed and fermented and then distilled to produce "urrack" which is the first distillate and thereafter equal portions of the urrack and fresh ferment are distilled again to give you Fenni.

 

Visitors without fail, buy an obligatory bottle of fenni from the liquor shops that abound in Panjim and elsewhere and carry it as a souvenir back to wherever they came from. Most consume it to only crib about the harsh taste and the rather strong smell that exudes out of the alcohol.

 

It is not a personal favourite of mine. The general fenni that people buy from the shops is in reality of a very poor quality and adulteration is the norm.

 

It is said that genuine fenni is not so strong in its smell quotient and is smooth as silk.
