Haven't really been out catching too much over the past couple of weeks so I'm uploading a shot I have been meaning to upload for a while from Burnham-On-Sea. This shot gives me faith that despite the weather forecast for rain next weekend when I'm in Cornwall that amazing sunsets can happen. The hours leading up to this shot were covered with lots and lots of rain and very high winds however sadly the majority of rainy days in the UK don't end with this much colour and beauty in the sky.
Anyways enjoy :)

Rhodes(Greek: Ρόδος, Ródos, IPA: [ˈro̞ðo̞s]; Italian: Rodi; Ottoman Turkish: ردوس Rodos; Ladino: Rodi or Rodes) is a Greek island approximately 18 kilometers (11 mi) southwest of Turkey in eastern Aegean Sea. It is the largest of the Dodecanese islands in terms of both land area and population, with a population of 117,007[2] of which 53,709 resided in the homonymous capital city of the island.
Historically, Rhodes was famous worldwide for the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The medieval Old Town of the City of Rhodes has been declared a World Heritage Site. Today Rhodes is a tourist destination.
The island of Rhodes is shaped like a spearhead, 79.7 km (49.5 mi) long and 38 km (24 mi) wide, with a total area of approximately 1,400 square kilometers (541 sq mi) and a coastline of approximately 220 km (137 mi). The city of Rhodes is located at the northern tip of the island, as well as the site of the ancient and modern commercial harbors.
In the 1st century AD, the Emperor Tiberius spent a brief term of exile on Rhodes, and Saint Paul brought Christianity to the island. Rhodes reached her zenith in the third century, and was then by common consent the most civilized and beautiful city in Hellas. In 395, the long Byzantine Empire period began for Rhodes, when the Roman Empire was split and the eastern half gradually became a Greek empire. Although part of Byzantium for the next thousand years, Rhodes was nevertheless repeatedly attacked by various forces. It was first occupied by Muslim forces of Muawiyah I in 672. Much later, Rhodes was retrieved for the Byzantine Emperor Alexius I Comnenus during the First Crusade.
In 1309 the Byzantine era came to an end when the island was occupied by forces of the Knights Hospitaller. Under the rule of the newly named "Knights of Rhodes", the city was rebuilt into a model of the European medieval ideal. Many of the city's famous monuments, including the Palace of the Grand Master, were built during this period.
The strong walls which the Knights had built withstood the attacks of the Sultan of Egypt in 1444, and of Mehmed II in 1480. Ultimately, however, Rhodes fell to the large army of Suleiman the Magnificent in December 1522, long after the rest of the Byzantine empire had been lost. The few surviving Knights were permitted to retire to the Kingdom of Sicily. The Knights would later move their base of operations to Malta. The island was thereafter a possession of the Ottoman Empire for nearly four centuries.

Fairbrook Naze, Kinder Scout, Peak District, UK
Headed up onto Kinder Scout yesterday afternoon in readiness for sunset. Kinder is a plateau which is the highest point of the Peak District. Parked at Hayfield and headed up William Clough onto the plateau then around to Kinder Downfall (impressive waterfall landmark). It was really overcast with no sign of light hitting the landscape.
So after a while I set off to the Edge (the northern edge of the plateau). I knew the position of the sun would make this a good place to be if the sunset happened. Took a short cut across the the peat bog and moorland. Relatively short section. The OS map showed that the contours were dropping away from me and I had my compass. Still, you need to be very, very careful. People do get lost when the weather rolls in. And those deep peat groughs can be very disorientating.
Anyway, I reached the Edge and headed East to Fairbrook Naze. Altough there was still no light reaching the landscape, this rock was still glowing red a little. I could see a break in the cloud behind me and Manchester was being bathed in light. So I had to wait an hour and sure enough, when the sun dropped below the cloud, the light was spectacular. A fabulous sunset followed and I snapped away as I headed West eventually reaching the car in darkness.

I had almost forgotten how it was like to go out in the water to shoot. The water is getting warmer and warmer indeed :)
Soo.. I have very little ideas right now, and mostly all of my ideas just come very spontaneous.
On sunday I will be leaving for a school trip.. And I am trying to figure out how to post when I'm gone haha..
My love affair with the Imperial Beach Fishing Pier continues. I had an early morning opportunity to shoot a few long exposures of the pier. The sunrise clouds were beautiful as they scudded across the sky. The long exposure really gives me that feeling of motion in this image.
Thanks so much to EVERYONE for your wonderful comments and image dedications on my birthday. I am so happy that I wasn't forgotten after my long absence!! Flickr Peeps are the BEST!!

This image depicts children in a crate hoisted on board HMAS AUSTRALIA II. The event was the annual children's Christmas party and was hosted on 6 December 1930. The girl wearing glasses on the left is Miss Rosemary Game, daughter of Sir Philip (Governor of New South Wales) and Lady Gwendolen Game. The boy next to her is possibly her brother Philip Game and the boy far right is possibly her other brother, David Game. The girl with pigtails and wearing a hat is possibly Miss Rosemary Budge, daughter of Sir Harry Budge, Secretary to the Governor, Sir Philip Game.

Nomi comuni della ROSA CANINA:
*Rosa di macchia
*Rosa selvatica
*Rosa di bosco
Questa pianta deve il nome canina a Plinio il vecchio, che affermava che un soldato romano fu guarito dalla rabbia con un decotto di radici.
La Rosa Canina è una varietà di rosa selvatica, che può crescere spontaneamente nei boschi e nei dirupi. Fin dall'antichità è stata considerata un fiore dalla doppia valenza; da un lato, infatti, la Rosa Canina si caratterizza per la bellezza e soavità del profumo dei propri boccioli, dall'altro per il tronco ed i rami pieni di spine, piccole e appuntite, che rappresentano un ostacolo per chiunque si avvicini e desideri cogliere una rosa. Per questi motivi il significato attribuito al fiore è duplice: delicatezza e piacere ma la tempo stesso anche sofferenza e dolore fisico. Da non dimenticare sono poi le proprietà calmanti e rilassanti associate agli infusi ed estratti ricavati con i petali del fiore.
Saw my first Mercedes ML 63 AMG W166 some days ago in my hometown. It looks absolutely cool from all sides and I am also not disappointed by the sound of this V8!

For me there are some things that are perfect. The sunset. When I see a sunset, specially the most beautiful and gorgeous ones, I catch my mind being gone. There are just some things that are so perfect in this world that I cannot describe it. We have all have those moments when we realize this world, this world is so beautiful.
In these moments, I realize we are just humans. We make mistakes, the world keeps on going around, the time keeps going. No one is perfect, but we can always embrace our surroundings, embrace the small moments.
Just breath. Life doesn't have to be as complicated as we make it.
Thank you so much Silje, Gabriella & Lisa for writing me testimonials ! <3
Der Hoppenlau Friedhof ist der älteste erhaltene Friedhof in Stuttgart, angelegt im Jahre 1626. Das Bild zeigt den jüdischen Teil von 1834.
The Hoppenlau cemetery is the oldest preserved cemetery in Stuttgart, Germany. Created 1626. The photo shows the Jewish part of 1834.
Seen this beautiful Common Brimstone (male) on the Red Campion during a wonderful walk through flowering meadows and fields in the lovely surrounding of Waren, Müritz National Park (Germany).
Thanks Mikul for the great title idea!
On the upper side the male is sulphur yellow and the female white with a greenish tinge but both have an orange spot in the centre of each wing.
The Red Campion (Silene dioica) is a herbaceous biennial or perennial plant, with dark pink to red flowers, each 1.8-2.5 cm across. The flowers are unscented.
Besides the aesthetic value of its flowers, the crushed seeds of red campion have also been used to cure snakebites. The nectar of the flowers is utilised by bumblebees and butterflies, and several species of moth feed on the foliage. (Wikipedia)

Den Zitronenfalter (männlich), dersich gerade an der Roten Lichtnelke labt, habe ich während eines langen Spaziergangs in der wunderschönen Umgebung von Waren (Müritz National Park) entdeckt.
Die Falter erreichen eine Flügelspannweite von 50 bis 55 Millimetern. Sie haben intensiv zitronengelb (Männchen) bzw. blass grünlich-weiß (Weibchen) gefärbte Vorder- und Hinterflügel. Die Weibchen können auf den ersten Blick mit dem Großen Kohlweißling (Pieris brassicae) verwechselt werden, jedoch kann man sie anhand der charakteristischen Flügelform gut voneinander unterscheiden. Alle vier Flügel der Zitronenfalter sind an den Spitzen deutlich zugespitzt. Beide Geschlechter haben je einen orangen Augenfleck auf ihren Flügeloberseiten, auf den Unterseiten sind diese bräunlich gefärbt.
Die Rote Lichtnelke wächst als sommergrüne, zweijährige oder wenige Jahre ausdauernde krautige Pflanze und erreicht Wuchshöhen von 30 bis 90 Zentimeter.
Interessantes zu der Roten Lichtnelke:
- In der Volksmedizin wurden die zu Brei zerstoßenen Samen zur Behandlung von Schlangenbissen eingesetzt.
- Die Wurzeln der Roten Lichtnelke wurden früher wie Seife benutzt.
- In den Haushalten Nordostitaliens werden in der lokalen Küche mit dem Kraut, zusammen mit Ricotta, auch Ravioli gefüllt. (Wikipedia)

Single Raw HDR image of the Space Shuttle, Enterprise at the National Air and Space Museum in Virginia.
I was pretty much in awe when I saw the Space Shuttle, Enterprise. It has since been replaced by the Space Shuttle, Discovery but this gives me a great excuse to go back and discover, Discovery!

Backcountry lake and reflection, sunset | Kings Canyon National Park
Hope I'm not boring you too much with these High Sierra lake shots...because I have a bunch more in the queue :)
This is the long-promised view in the other direction from my photo "Horseshoe" a ways back. Also, if you're paying attention to the dates on my shots, you might notice that this was the evening before my "Leaning Towers" panorama!
This weekend was so stormy that I had to wait two hours huddled near some lonely trees (nice to not be the tallest thing around with all that lightning...) just to make it over the pass. These are the storm clouds clearing back at sunset...I woke up to crystal clear skies the next morning but the clouds quickly built back up and the storm hit even harder. The light was changing by the second. Lots of fun.
I'm headed up to the Sierras this weekend on another backcountry adventure...have a great weekend! As always, all types of feedback are highly welcome.

The Koninklijke Marine (Royal Netherlands Navy) including HNLMS JAVA, HNLMS EVERSTEN and HNLMS DE RUYTER arrived in Sydney on 3 October 1930. The ships berthed at the Oceanic Steamship Company wharf and Burns Philp and Company Wharf in West Circular Quay. The Sydney Morning Herald reported on the 'unfamiliar spectacle' of the Dutch squadron arrival.
On 10 October, the squadron hosted a reception on board JAVA 'as a return for the hospitality they had received while in Sydney'. The SMH reported that distinguished guests were greeted by the Dutch Consul-General Petrus Ephrem Teppema, Madame Carmen Delprat Teppema and Rear-Admiral Kayser.

5XP HDR shot of St. Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan, New York.
Initially, I disliked the construction scaffolding attached to the facade of the Cathedral but I've grown to appreciate it since it highlights the base via the additional light. Didn't know that the roof of the Cathedral also forms a Cross when seen from above~ gotta see if I can find that POV one day!

View of Sand Dunes at sunrise just a few miles from Stovepipe Wells in Death Valley National Park - California, USA.
Death Valley's most accessible sand dunes are tucked into Mesquite Flat in the north end of the park, these dunes are nearly surrounded by mountains on all sides.
Less than one percent of the desert is covered with dunes, yet the shadowed ripples and stark, graceful curves define "desert" in our imaginations.

This photo was taken in the late 19th century, probably by Robert French, chief photographer of William Lawrence Photographic Studios of Dublin. It features a laughing, or at least smiling, policeman!
Compare this view of Bagenalstown with its companion photo taken by photographer Padraig J. Laffan (approximately 100 years later) as part of the Lawrence Photographic Project 1990/1991, where one thousand photographs from the Lawrence Collection in the National Library of Ireland were replicated a hundred years later by a team of volunteer photographers, thereby creating a record of the changing face of the selected locations all over Ireland.

When I went home this afternoon I met a sweet cat on my way. She crept around my legs. Since I have always my camera with me, I wanted to try to get a close up of her and crouched down. She was so restless and moved constantly around my legs.
But suddenly as a bird flew over our heads, I got my chance. She sat down and watched him. That was my moment to capture the above scene and this is the only one I could make from her.
Better in Large On Black
Als ich heute nach Hause ging kreuzte eine süße zahme Katze meinen Weg. Sie schlich die ganze Zeit um mich herum. Da ich meine Kamera immer bei mir habe, wollte ich sehr gern eine Nahaufnahme von ihr machen und setzte mich in die Hocke. Ein Makro war jedoch unmöglich, da sie ständig in Bewegung war und um meine Beine schlich.
Doch plötzlich flog ein Vogel über uns. Sie setzte sich, ließ ihn nicht aus den Augen und beobachtete ihn sehr genau. Das war meine Chance für die einzige obige Aufnahme. Weitere waren nicht möglich.

Mammatus en el desierto de las Bardenas. (a través del espejo)./ Mammatus in the desert of Bardenas.
Un fin de semana de madrugones y decepciones, pero la vida nos regaló este cielo mágico en las Bardenas.
♫ BECK - Everybody's gotta learn sometimes. ♫
Imagen inspirada en esta canción de la película; Olvídate de mí. A veces es mejor olvidar todo para empezar de nuevo.....Dedicada a una gran amiga, ella sabe quién es.
Las nubes mammatus no son realmente nubes, sino la parte inferior de otras más grandes, que debido a corrientes verticales descendentes, forman una especie de bolsas o mamas. Unas formaciones especialmente espectaculares si el sol las ilumina lateralmente.
Las Bardenas son un paraje natural semidesértico de unas 42.000 hectáreas que se extiende por el sureste de Navarra (España). Sus suelos son de arcillas, yesos y areniscas y han sido erosionados por el agua y el viento creando formas sorprendentes en las que destacan los barrancos, las mesetas de estructura tabular y los cerros solitarios, llamados cabezos.
Image inspired by the song of the film; Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Sometimes it's better to forget all to start over..........Dedicated to a great friend, she knows who she is.
Mammatus clouds are not really clouds, but the lower part of larger structures, due to downward vertical currents which form a sort of bag or breast. A spectacular formations especially if the sun illuminates the side.
Bardenas are a natural semi-desert of some 42,000 hectares that extends to the southeast of Navarra (Spain). The soils are clay, gypsum and sandstones have been eroded by water and wind creating surprising ways in which stress the canyons, plateaus tabular structure and lonely hills, called seamounts.
We had a happy Victoria Day on Monday with splendid summer weather and with delightful firework festivity at night. And I had quite a festive rooftop photo-session, capturing all the sparkling colourful downtown and fireworks at Ashbrdge's Bay.
It all started with the magic blue hour, which got deeper and deeper with each volley of fireworks - you'll see it next :-)
Lots of men chatting around the bridge here, but the boy in the foreground is fully occupied either delivering those parcels, or he has been sent to collect them. Think that's the River Clanrye flowing under the bridge...

About The Milky Way:
The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains the Earth. This name derives from its appearance as a dim "milky" glowing band arching across the night sky, in which the naked eye cannot distinguish individual stars. The term "Milky Way" is a translation of the Classical Latin via lactea, from the Hellenistic Greek γαλαξίας κύκλος (pr. galaxías kýklos, "milky circle").
The Galaxy has this appearance because it is a disk-shaped structure that is being viewed from inside. Earth is located within the Galactic plane of this disk, around two thirds of the way out from the center, on the inner edge of a spiral-shaped concentration of gas and dust called the Orion–Cygnus Arm. The concept of this faint band of light being made up of stars was proven in 1610 when Galileo Galilei used his telescope to resolve it into individual stars. In the 1920s observations by astronomer Edwin Hubble showed that the Milky Way was just one of around 200 billion galaxies in the observable universe.
The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy 100,000–120,000 light-years in diameter containing 200–400 billion stars. It may contain at least as many planets, with 10 billion of those orbiting in the habitable zone of their parent stars.[14] The rotational rate of the Galaxy is once every 15 to 50 million years. The Galaxy as a whole is moving at a velocity of 552 to 630 km per second, depending on the relative frame of reference. It is estimated to be about 13.2 billion years old, nearly as old as the Universe. The Milky Way is part of the Local Group of galaxies, which forms a subcomponent of the Virgo Supercluster.
Interesting facts about Light Pollution:
Light pollution has caused one-fifth of the world's population – mostly in mainland Europe, Britain and the U.S. – to lose their ability to see the Milky Way in the night sky.
"The arc of the Milky Way seen from a truly dark location is part of our planet's natural heritage," said Connie Walker, and astronomer from the U.S. National Optical Astronomy Observatory in Tucson, Arizona.
Yet "more than one fifth of the world population, two thirds of the U.S. population and one half of the European Union population have already lost naked eye visibility of the Milky Way."
Star-free night
The phenomenon, caused by the reflection of manmade light by the Earth's atmosphere, impacts astronomical research and can even affect human health, warned Walker, who will present her research on Wednesday at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Pasadena, California.
The effects of light pollution on human health can be as mild as the disruption of the circadian rhythm leading to problems sleeping, but it can also be serious, she said.
One study of 147 Israeli communities, published in 2008 in the journal Chronobiology International, found some evidence for an increased risk of breast cancer for women living in areas with the most light pollution. This is thought to be due to unnatural light at night affecting levels of hormones such as melatonin and estrogen.
Light pollution comes in a variety of forms such as 'over illumination', 'light trespass' and 'sky glow' – the orange glow that hangs over cities and is produced by upwards directed light.
Walker's research has found that cities using light fixtures that direct just 3% of their light upwards can almost double the sky glow experienced by astronomical observatories 100 km away. "Allowing 10% direct uplight increases this figure to 570%," said Walker, who is chair of the U.S. Dark Skies Working Group, part of the Dark Skies Awareness program, a global citizen science effort to raise awareness of light pollution.
High resolution portrait of Twin-lobed Deerfly (Chrysops relictus, male) which is common in Central Europe.
Quite difficult stack of 398 shots taken with narcotized living fly which moved its antennae several times during 32 minutes of continuous shooting with flash. In addition, the rose petal which was used as background went dry and fell down (out of FOV) after 319th shot. Therefore the antennae are not as tack-sharp and colour-corrected as they were in still conditions, but I tried to retouch the most annoying incongruities.
Taken with Canon 50D camera, Nikon 5x/0.15 EPI (infinity corrected) lens, Hoya +5D close-up filter (serving as 200mm tube lens) and Pentax AF500FTZ flash (with fully recharged AA batteries :) Processed with Zerene Stacker and Corel PP software.

Sky above me
Earth below me
Fire within me
I have no idea where that quote is from, but whatever. :)
I really like this project so far. So far it has pushed me out to shoot, pushed me out to explore and pushed me to think ideas. Yesterday I was exploring one part of where I lived, today I explored the other side. And I remember this place, last time I was here was in august when I just had gotten a little more interest of photography. I know now, that if I were there in august right now I would take so many different photos. I have a completely different mind now :)
And it took me forever to edit the flame! But at least now I know how to make a flame in photoshop! :D

Many thanks to Dave DiCello for the tips as to where to shoot. I was lucky enough to go to a conference at the Sheraton Station Square. It was very close to the Monongahela Incline. I took the Incline three times over five days. Well worth it!

Reflections at Keppel Bay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reflections at Keppel Bay in Singapore will be a 99 year leasehold luxury waterfront residential complex on approx. 84,0000 m² of land with 750m of shoreline and will be completed by 2013. The complex will have 1129 units.
The complex was designed by Daniel Libeskind, who also created the masterplan for the World Trade Center Memorial.
The six glass towers will afford panorama views of Mount Faber and Sentosa.
