Svatopluk Čech Bridge or Čech Bridge (Most Svatopluka Čecha or Čechův most in Czech) is a arch bridge over river Vltava (Moldau) in Prague, Czech Republic.
Construction of the bridge started in 1905 and finished in 1908. Its length is 169 meters (one of the shortest in Prague) and width is 16 meters.
The bridge connects the Prague districts Holešovice and the Old Town (Staré Město). Construction materials are stone (pillars) and iron (arches). Up to 1961 the roadway was made of wood - a hard specie named Jarrah from Australia. The roadway got very slippery during rains.

This is a fence shot from fall of last year. I'm missing the autumn color this year in a bad way.
So I thought I'd pull up an autumnal fence I've never posted. How kind of the squirrel to run into my shot when I was focused on the hikers coming down the trail.
Happy Fence Friday Everyone!!

No se necesitan muchas palabras para describir Brujas: su solo nombre ya evoca un ambiente mágico, sereno e inolvidable. Un paseo por Brujas es un viaje al pasado, un cuento de hadas hecho realidad.
Las vistas de sus canales, sus edificios históricos y su aire romántico, dejan huella. El casco histórico de Brujas fue declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en el año 2000.
Un paseo en barca cruzando los canales medievales, es una experiencia muy agradable que recomiendo.

You do not need many words to describe Bruges: his alone name already evokes a magic, serene and unforgettable environment. A walk along Bruges is a trip to the past, a made fairy-tale reality. The sights of his channels, his historical buildings, his romantic air, leave fingerprint. The historical hull of Bruges was declared Heritage of the Humanity by the UNESCO in the year 2000.
A walk in boat crossing his medieval channels, it is a very agreeable experience that I recommend.
Get Pushed: enveehaze gave me the following rolling challenge:
Hi Jonathan - I enjoyed looking thru your photos. You have some lovely images. I noticed you seem to focus on people. For your challenge, I would like you to focus on the inanimate instead. Please do a macro. Focus on the ordinary details of an object that make it extraordinary. I hope this is a fun and inspiring challenge for you! I look forward to seeing the result.
I've had similar challenges a few times now, some version of - take an abstract, closeup, no people shot - and it always gives me trouble. That's a good thing of course; it pushes me out of my comfort zone. So here is my attempt - I cheated a little but I also wouldn't have taken it this way without the push. So, as always, a learning experience.
For anybody interested, the challenge came from a Flickr group called Get Pushed, which you can find here: www.flickr.com/groups/getpushed/
A London Eye também conhecida como Millennium Wheel (Roda do Milênio), é uma roda-gigante de observação.
Situada na cidade de Londres, capital do Reino Unido, foi inaugurada no ano de 1999 e é um dos pontos turísticos mais disputados da cidade.
Desde 2006, a roda gigande deixou de ser a maior do mundo, após a inauguração da Estrela de Nanchang (160 m), localizada na cidade de Nanchang, China. Atualmente, a maior roda gigante do mundo é a Singapore Flyer, a qual realizou sua primeira volta no dia 11 de fevereiro de 2008.

I.D.s 584 & 23749 photographed by John Ward on 1990-03-11 using colour negative film in a 35mm camera then scanned and digitized.
Laguna Trans Nissan (fleet No 2010) and J.A.M Trans Nissan DVB-13x in the Lawton layover area of Manila, Philippines.
In this photo the bulls are nearing the finishing post and they had to turn left to avoid running into the embankment straight ahead.
Looks like this is what is going to happen now. - I mean that the bulls are going straight on to the embankment.
The runner on the left ought to have controlled the bull to make them turn but handling heaving and seething masses of bull power running in the mud is not at all easy.
The people are already scattering and running for cover. Not to miss the vidographer in the lungi who is recording the run.

Adoor in Kerala holds its famous Bull Races every year around the time of Onam. It is a celebration of agrarian existence and is carried on without any grants or aid from the Government. This is a spectacular fiesta of rural Kerala. There are 2-3 other such events that are held in Kerala.
Two racing bulls are hitched together and three men come into action. Two racers with lead ropes on either side of the bulls who try to control the direction and speed if possible and one often obscured by sprays of mud and water, a jockey who rides on a small flat strip of wood.
The bulls race ahead with the men keeping desperately abreast of the thundering hooves. At the end of the racing track there is a 4-6 feet embankment of earth which acts as a protection and a marker for the bulls. The embankment gets totally crowded with onlookers. The bull racers need to turn the bull around and do a 360 degree here but most times that effort fails as the bulls in their racing frenzy would be uncontrollable.
I have no idea on the current status of the bull races. There are enough organisations howling to stop such races but the Supreme Court of India in a judgement a few months ago allowed bull/bullock cart races to go on in Punjab. So chances are that the tradition may still live on.

Cuando éramos niños los viejos tenían como treinta,
un charco era un océano, la muerte lisa y llana no existía.
Luego cuando muchachos los viejos eran gente de cuarenta,
un estanque era océano, la muerte solamente una palabra.
Ya cuando nos casamos los ancianos estaban en cincuenta,
un lago era un océano, la muerte era la muerte de los otros.
Ahora veteranos ya le dimos alcance a la verdad.
El océano es por fin el océano, pero la muerte empieza a ser la nuestra.
(MARIO BENEDETTI)

la stagione è quella giusta, ne approfitto per pubblicare una ricetta preparata lo scorso anno...
.
Ingredienti:
uva nera
zucchero 400/500 gr. per chilo di uva.
Preparazione:
lavare l’uva, staccare gli acini dal raspo e con tanta pazienza eliminare i semi.
Mettere l’uva e lo zucchero in una casseruola piuttosto ampia in modo che il liquido evapori velocemente e far cuocere a fiamma moderata.
Mescolare con un cucchiaio di legno fino a che la marmellata sarà di un bel colore dorato, ben densa e si staccherà dalla pentola.
Versare la mostarda ancora calda nei vasetti sterilizzati, porre un dischetto di carta oleata imbevuto di liquore tra il tappo e la marmellata, quindi chiudere i contenitori e capovolgerli. Lasciare raffreddare completamente i vasetti e poi conservarli in un posto buio fresco e asciutto.

I woke up early yesterday morning and decided to make the most of the time and catch some sunrise shots. I was pleased to see there was a light mist on this small lake, which I think gives the image an interesting atmosphere. This is a 3 bracketed shot HDR using my tripod.
There are more of the same to come as I soon as I process them....

Since leaving the Midwest last year, I’ve been meaning to photograph the Harbor Drive Pedestrian Bridge in downtown San Diego. The bridge connects the convention center with Petco Park (home to San Diego’s Major League Baseball team the Padres). At 550 feet, the bridge is one of the longest self-anchored pedestrian suspension bridges in the world and is supposed to look like a sail to fit in with San Diego's nautical history.
I took this photograph from the top floor of a parking garage. I like this view since it not only includes the new Harbor Drive Pedestrian Bridge, but also Petco Park, the new Central Library and the East Village District, which is San Diego's largest and most rapidly developing neighborhood.
Happy Travels!

This star trails image was done in ruins of the Steinschloss castle in Styria, Austria. The castle is already impressive by day, but spending the night in the ruins of this medieval fortification, with some bats as the only companions, is indeed an intense expirience.
Stack of 40 individual frames, each of 60 seconds exposure time (Canon EOS 550D, ISO 800, 10mm, f/3.5), resulting in a total exposure of 40 minutes. The ruins and the landscape were illuminated by the first quarter moon.

El Djem is famous for its amphitheater, often incorrectly called a Colosseum (roughly translated from Latin as 'that thing by the Colossus'), which is capable of seating 35,000 spectators. Only the Flavian Amphitheater in Rome (about 45,000 spectators) and the ruined theatre of Capua are larger. The amphitheatre at El Djem was built by the Romans under proconsul Gordian, who was acclaimed Emperor at Thysdrus, around 238 and was probably mainly used for gladiator shows and chariot races (like in Ben-Hur). Many tourists come here to see what it was like to be inside what was once a place where lions and people met their fate. Much of it is crumbled but the essence of it still remains. It is also possible that construction of the amphitheatre was never finished.
Until the 17th century it remained more or less whole. From then on its stones were used for building the nearby village of El Djem and transported to the Great Mosque in Kairouan, and at a tense moment during struggles with the Ottomans, the Turks used cannons to flush rebels out of the amphitheatre.
The ruins of the amphitheatre were declared a World Heritage Site in 1979.
Drifting sand is preserving the market city of Thysdrus and the refined suburban villas that once surrounded it. The amphiteatre occupies archaeologists' attention: no digging required. Some floor mosaics have been found and published, but field archaeology has scarcely been attempted.
In the world of writing materials, Thysdrus lay in the Empire of Papyrus, which preserves remarkably well if kept as dry as at El Djem..
********
The amphitheater was used for filming some of the scenes from the 1979 Monty Python film The Life of Brian and was also used for filming some of the scenes from the Academy Award (Oscar) winning film Gladiator with Russel Crowe. In the old days when it was used for real gladiators, the gladiators would be kept in dungeons under ground. The star shaped holes in front being their only lightsource. Hope you all have a great weekend!

Views of Emerald Lake and some mountain ranges, located north of the community of Carcross, Yukon Territory, Canada.
The turquoise-green color of the lake is the result of sunlight reflecting off of, what is called, marl. Marl is the white calcium carbonate that settles on the lake floor. It is created by mixing the limestone remains from the ice age with the calcium in the alpine water.
One mountain especially stands out - the Gray Ridge Mountain at an elevation of 6085 feet.
Terézváros.
Architect: Ákos Márton, 1905.
Former Club of Electrical Engineers, see the motifs of the frieze.
Ákos Márton is one of the many Hungarian architects about whom almost nothing is known concerning biographical information. About Ákos Márton currently is not more biographical information available than is to find in the databases of Jewishgen.
Born as Ármin Marton on December 9, 1869 in Pest and later he used the given name Ákos.
Father: Lipót (in one case also called Antal), born in Szent Antalfa. Mother: Rozalia Stiglitz or Stieglitz, born in Boglar or Szőlős, both names be written in the databases.
Ákos married on May 12, 1895 with Gizela Schosberger, Ákos was 26, Gizela 25.
In 1899 he lived on the Kis-Stáció utca 5. (Budapest, VIII. District)
Just as the majority of his collegues was also Ákos Márton of Jewish origin. (Source: Jewishgen)
Ákos Márton (Márton Ákos), must been, given his age, graduated around 1892/1893. Perhaps the first building he designed is that on the Városligeti fasor. Because, according to an official document of the district Terézváros, at that time he would have designed a building: VI. Bajza utca 28 / Benczúr utca 15, and this document provides the information that the property should be built around 1890. It will then probably one of his first designs.
He started as an architect who designed neo-classical buildings. That kind of designs he used during his whole career, but he also designed a number of buildings in a Viennese / Western Art Nouveau style. Later in his career he used again the neo-styles in his designs.

I found out that this pelican has been a resident of the Imperial Beach Fishing Pier for the last 6–7 years. I don't know if that is a tall fishing tale {but I would appreciate it if anyone from IB could weigh in on that assertion to confirm or deny}.
All I know is that I saw him for the first time yesterday ... and then again this morning. I knew it was the same pelican because he favored his right foot. He was quite amenable to being photographed and I got quite close. The close up shots are really good, but I loved this shot the best as it captured the gorgeous morning light streaming down the pier and the distant fisherman. My shot was leached of color for the most part so sliding this right into a black & white was a no-brainer! And most of you know I don't do b&w ... so this is an unusual appearance in my Photostream!!
Happy Sliders Sunday!!
The Old Republic Building is a high-rise building in Chicago. This was the first high-rise in the area east of Michigan Avenue between the river and Grant Park, and when it was built it enjoyed high visibility.
Its construction finished on 1925 and was designed by Vitzhum and Burns. When it was constructed, at just 24 stories, it was considered a classic skyscraper in every sense of the word. Its height, style, and location demonstrated all of the attributes that when put together make a great skyscraper at the time.
Located on the northeast corner of North Michigan Avenue and East South Water Street, the Old Republic Building was one of the first tall buildings, along with the London Guarantee Building, to be constructed south of the Chicago River on North Michigan Avenue after its widening in the early 1920s. The building exemplifies the city’s efforts to encourage commercial development on the avenue as a result of major improvements brought about by Burnham and Bennett’s 1909 Plan of Chicago. The construction of the Michigan Avenue Bridge, the widening of the avenue and the construction of the bi-level roadway at South Water Street and Wacker Drive in the 20th century changed the face of Michigan Avenue in particular, and the downtown in general.
One thing that caughts ones attentions is the "Betsy Ross" 13-star US Flag outside the building, which was one of the biggest symbols of the American Revolution.

Subiendo de Airoa (A Laxe-Fornelos de Montes) hacía el monte la primera verja importante a la izquierda, abrirla y meter el coche por la pista, hasta el primer sendero a la derecha. Ahí comienza mi ruta.
Nos lleva desde tierras de Airoa por el Suído, cruzando el río Parada hasta las eólicas, y de allí baja un sendero a Pigarzos (sin pisar asfalto durante unas 4 horas ida/vuelta).
No olvidarse de cerrar la verja, protege la carretera del ganado suelto.
Ganadería extensiva en régimen de semi-libertad, practicada en estas montañas desde los siglos XII-XIII que se tenga constancia.
(se entiende semi-libertad porque se les desparasita y controla sanitariamente de forma regular, y en el caso del ganado vacuno se recoge en invierno por las noches y sobre todo porque tienen dueño).
Wild horses. Ranching in semi-freedom regime.
When the breezes calm down and there's no boat traffic on the Willamette River the water get's smooth enough to see the underwater portion of the Ross Island Bridge Cyclotron and Linear Accelerator, see notes.
Most particle accelerators are horizontal structures on top of or under ground serving only one purpose. But OSU realized that their design could also easily double as a bridge for city traffic, and thus the city was able to get this nice bridge for just half the price it would have paid otherwise. Based on the Ross Island success and needing a linear accelerator capable of handling light rail sized particles a new Linear Accelerator Bridge OSU/city collaboration is currently under construction just down river from here.

I was standing in the middle of Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. when I took this photograph between honking cars and speeding bicyclists. I was arrested by the local police because they considered my tripod a dangerous weapon. I was handed over to the Department of Homeland Security, interrogated and labeled as an “enemy combatant” ready to be renditioned to Guantanamo Bay.
That wasn’t even the bad part.
My poor Canon EOS 5D Mark II camera was scanned, swabbed and fingered by some unsavory guys wearing pink shoes, purple smocks and white gloves.
I finally yelled out from the top of my lungs, “Photography is not a crime!” and handed them a copy of this:
Find out your rights as a photographer by clicking this link
They put a black bag over my face and forced me into some vehicle. After an hour or so I was then thrown out of the vehicle and found myself in some place called Freedom Plaza back on Pennsylvania Avenue.
Yes, it’s tough being a travel photographer.
I also have a wild imagination.
None of this is true (but this could be the next Dan Brown novel) with the exception that I really was on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. taking this photograph from Freedom Plaza.
This is a great location to photograph the U.S. Capitol with a city view. It looks like I’m standing in the middle of the road, but actually Pennsylvania Avenue takes a slight bend where the plaza is at so you have a direct view of the Capitol with the traffic coming straight toward you.
As always, thank you for all your kind comments and favorites. If for some reason when you come back to my photostream and it hasn’t been updated for a while, then you’ll know the U.S. government has really temporarily relocated me to Guantanamo Bay!
Happy Travels!

Desde la entrada a la quebrada Arhueycocha. El derrumbe que se ve abajo es bastante reciente y corresponde a un bloque de glaciar que se desprendió de la cara noreste del Artesonraju, afortunadamente no pilló a nadie andando por ahí. Si ven la foto en el mapa o en el Googlearth se nota la diferencia y la forma en que cambió la geografía del valle, que antes tenía bastante vegetación en la parte que se ve rellenada con el aluvión, pura geografía viva.

A warm mid-day scene from the shores of Swiftcurrent Lake, taken just below the famous Many Glacier Hotel. The pyramid-shaped mountain on the center is Mount Grinnell, a name it shares with a lake and a glacier not visible from this angle.
This was a beautiful mid-morning, the waters of Swiftcurrent Lake were very still and peaceful.
I just came back from a Summer vacation to Alberta, Canada and Montana, US. We had a wonderful weather, clear and sunny days perfect to make great images.
Hope you and your families are doing fine.

As always, thanks for stopping by and looking. I appreciate your comments and visits.
I was late again this time, rushing for spot for this beautiful sunset, feel frustrating a little while, because the sun is going down so quickly, and the colors kept changing...worried about missing it again. Have to mount the Filter holder, the wireless remote shutter release, the filters, the tripod and the composition. Phew...finally, as you can see the sun was totally down below the horizon.....this magical moment last less than 5 mins..and I drove 1 hour to this place and use only less than 5 minutes...dang....landscape photography this is....
Saw this Spare while setting up my tripod, so might as well include it because the foreground was a little empty..and I have very limited time.. I swear I'll get out earlier next time.....

Get Pushed: I was paired with PKcam for R25. Her push was:
Because your shots of others are so intriguing, I'm going to use that as part of the challenge. We all go through struggles, high moments, low moments, etc. The only constant is change. For you I would like you to convey where you are in your life right now (whether it is how you are feeling on the day you are shooting, or a frame of mind you've been in for a particular period of time up until now) by recognizing it in others and capturing it for the viewer. Perhaps this could be seen as an abstract self portrait. If you would like to do it as a diptych or triptych that is okay as well.
This was both difficult and intriguing. Above is the result. I have been away from home for a long time - almost a year. I returned a week ago. I should be happy. I won't explain more than that; the shot should stand on its own. But I am interested in what people think the feeling is - so by extension how successful I was in capturing it.

Der Rachel (tschechisch Roklan) ist ein Berg mit zwei Gipfeln in Bayern.
Südöstlich des Gipfels befindet sich rund 400 Meter tiefer der Rachelsee.
Der Rachelsee am Fuße und gut 800 Meter südöstlich des Großen Rachel ist der stillste Bayerwaldsee und nur auf Fußwegen zu erreichen. Er wird ebenso wie der Große Arbersee von einer steilen Seewand überragt. Unter der dunkelbraun gefärbten Wasseroberfläche verbirgt sich eine Tiefe von 13,5 m. Der 5,7 Hektar große See ist wegen seines Mangels an Kalksalzen und der Bodenversauerung arm an Wassertieren und Fischen. Um den See herum hat sich, da seit der Einrichtung des Naturschutzgebietes hier kein Baum mehr gefällt wurde, ein Urwald gebildet, der nur auf einem Urwaldlehrpfad durchquert werden darf.

Oh, I'm so excited to post you this 'cause I think this is my favorite piece so far. Yesterday came into my mind that we incidentally have a loft... a really big one actually. My dad helped to get up there... it was gorgeous - but really dusty, I have to admit. I spent 1,5 hour up there and when I came down in the light, I looked so awful that even I was afraid of myself. Anyway, I'm really content with this and hope you'll like it too. Reminds me of one of my first shots... this one.

The first recorded ascent of Mont Blanc was on 8 August 1786 by Jacques Balmat and the doctor Michel Paccard.of modern mountaineering. The first woman to reach the summit was Marie Paradis in 1808.
Now the summit is ascended by 200000 mountaineer-tourists each year and could be considered an easy, yet long, ascent for someone who is well trained and used to the altitude.
Every year the Mont Blanc massif takes many victims, however, and in peak weekends normally around August) the local rescue service flies an average of 12 missions, mostly directed towards people in trouble on one of the normal routes of the mountain. There are courses that require knowledge of high-altitude mountaineering, a guide or at least a veteran mountaineer), and proper equipment. It is a long course that includes delicate passages and the hazard of rock slides.
This is a place really magnificent to visit !!
The skyline of San Francisco's famous financial district as seen from Pier 14 during evening nautical twilight. This was shot during our Night Eyes Photo Workshop last night with fellow instructor Matt Granz. We were showing our class the many interesting subjects along the waterfront, including the ferry building tower and Sinbad's sign. It is a lovely sight indeed from the end of the pier.
To the far right, one can see the Embarcadero Towers and the tip of the Transamerica building poking up from behind. To the left, more great skscrapers including some elegant condos. Just out of frame to the left is the West anchorage of the Bay Bridge.
