"i'm going to go outside and sit," he said.
she looked up at him, tilting her head.
"but why?"
"it just seems like the right thing to do. to wait."
this is really simple, but i like it. location is outside the townhouse i live in on campus. it's a themed housing. we are the multi-faith house. i identify as agnostic, so it's very interesting living here and learning about different faiths.
i finished my finals today! i should have all A's and B's this semester, and i might even make Dean's List. but probably not.

Another one of those beautiful memories from our trip. We were on our houseboat which was taking us across the backwaters of Kerala and the Sun was precarious for it absence throughout the day. I was pretty sad because as you know, without the Sun, everything feels so dull and boring :) but all of a sudden, just before the Sunset, it came out of the dark clouds and I jumped out of joy!
I captured a few shots with the Sun setting behind the cocount trees but then I got two more things into the frame, which made the same image look a million times better.
1. my wife sitting by the ledge and enjoying the beautiful view
2. the reflection of the cocount trees on the dining table mirror
Have a good day, all my sweet friends. Let me catchup with your streams today!

The Cape du Couedic Lighthouse on Kangaroo Island
I love this shot and everything it represents, a weekend away on my own in some stunning location with nothing else but me and my camera. The amazing sunset and approaching storm, all add to the drama of the ever watchful lighthouse.
After stitching this panoramic I was thrilled with the female head in the right hand clouds, watching the lighthouse, am I mad or is this something other people can see?

♫ 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..

It may be a planet instead of a star, but the light in the sky has a wonderful reflection in the water near the shore in this capture. The water in the strait was almost still, which is very unusual for this area. When I started the 20 second exposure, there was an aircraft headed from the left across the bay... thus making the streak of light between the star and the horizon. It was also interesting to note that I could not see any other lights in the sky, but upon examining the photo, I saw several other stars clustered around the bright one. (IMG_1371a)

thank you all for our wonderful birthday wishes and emails
:)
wish you all a great new week towards christmas
It looked to me as if the cloud was trapped inside that curved building, thus the title... I wonder for how long I'm still gonna find new stuff in my NYC archives... ;)
If anyone from NY could remind me where i could have photographed this exactly... I guess it was somewhere near the Apple Store, but i didn't have my gps tracker on
Here’s another sunset I shot at this years Oregon State Fair while making my way to my car. I remember how hot it was and wishing for freezing temperatures to bring some relief. Now that the cold of winter has arrived and that dreaded yearly holiday is here all I can think about is 95 to 100 degree days and NOT having to get together with my relatives. BAH!!!! tttthhhhrrrrpppppppp..........
Here is the other sunset I shot from the same day: www.flickr.com/photos/31246066@N04/6129352600
Now I know this is the penultimate cliché !! I always wanted to do one of these. I was bored and it was a beautiful sunny morning. I wasn't too overly thrilled with the results ... this isn't as cool as the ones I've seen here on Flickr ... but I haven't seen one done with V8 juice ... but most of all, oh what fun it was to make such a huge mess!! The wildlife in my backyard thanked me for it! :-)
* The cleanup? Not so much fun!
Happy Cliché Saturday!!

El Puente de los Joyeros y Orfebres: Es el puente de Florencia más antiguo y famoso. Cruza el río Arno en su punto más estrecho, y justo en esta zona ya en el siglo I, los romanos habían construido un puente de madera. Después, aunque lo habían reconstruido de piedra, sufrió daños por los desbordamientos. El actual puente fue construido en 1345. Desde la primera construcción, fue concebido como puente-mercado con filas de tiendas a los dos lados.
Las tiendas eran de pescaderos, carniceros y curtidores hasta que Ferdinando I, que no soportaba los olores desagradables bajo las ventanillas del Pasillo de Vasari, ordenó que se las entregaran a joyeros y orfebres.
Desde entonces, en el puente sólo hay maravillosas y pequeñas joyerías. En el centro del puente, hay un monumento a Benvenuto Cellini, el orfebre florentino más famoso. Puente Viejo tuvo un papel fundamental en la II Guerra Mundial: lo visitaron Hitler y Mussolini en 1939; durante la retirada alemana de 1944, era el único puente de Florencia que el fuego alemán no había destruido y, sobre todo, permitió a muchos florentinos, disidentes políticos y judíos, que se pusieran a salvo.
The Bridge of the Jewelers and Goldsmiths: It is the oldest bridge in Florence and famous. Cross the Arno River at its narrowest, and just in this region as in the first century the Romans had built a wooden bridge. Then, although it had been rebuilt of stone, was damaged by flooding. The current bridge was built in 1345. From the first building was conceived as a bridge-market with rows of shops on both sides.
The stores were fishmongers, butchers and tanners until Ferdinando I, who could not stand the smells under the windows of the Vasari Corridor, ordered the surrender to jewelers and goldsmiths.
Since then, the bridge is just wonderful and small jewelers. In the center of the bridge is a monument to Benvenuto Cellini, the Florentine goldsmith most famous. Old Bridge had a role in World War II: Hitler and Mussolini visited him in 1939 during the German retreat of 1944, was the only bridge in Florence that the German fire had not destroyed and, above all, allowed many Florentines, political dissidents and Jews, if they were made safe.
I had my heart set on seeing the the sea ... that I knew was out beyond the trees ... until I turned around and saw the sunbeams!! Connie and I went a little crazy!! Wouldn't you?
I really like this image I captured of her; of the sunbeams spilling through the trees, lighting up her hair. Doesn't she look so angelic? {image in comments}

I will forever be humbled by the countless sea stacks that stand the test of time on the Pacific Coast. With a constant crashing, pounding, and the relentless ocean dynamic, they remain standing for centuries upon centuries. I visited these stacks two mornings in a row, and had the location to myself for both shoots. I don't get over to the coast that often, so it was a real treat to be able to spend a couple mornings with these two old friends, the sea stacks at Garrapata State Park.
For this photograph, I chose to shoot a single shot for the waves, rocks and sky, but also shot another image focused on the foreground rocks to get more definition. This is always tricky business, as it also slightly changes the focal length, but I felt that this shot would be a relatively easy blend and it would benefit from having sharper rocks in the foreground... as the take up a good 1/3 of the shot.
The glow from the rising sun was brilliant, and I was able to witness a couple of rainbows behind these rocks as well. The power of the surf at this beach demands respect.

The Alps (French: Alpes; German: Alpen; Italian: Alpi; Romansh: Alps; Slovene: Alpe) is the name for one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east, through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. The word "Alps" was taken via French from Latin Alpes (meaning "the Alps"), which may be influenced by the Latin words albus (white) or altus (high) or more likely a Latin rendering of a Celtic or Ligurian original.
The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc, at 4,808 metres (15,774 ft), on the Italian-French border. All the main peaks of the Alps can be found in the list of mountains of the Alps and list of Alpine peaks by prominence.
The Alps are generally divided into the Western Alps and the Eastern Alps. The division is along the line between Lake Constance and Lake Como, following the Rhine. The Western Alps are higher, but their central chain is shorter and curved; they are located in Italy, France and Switzerland. The Eastern Alps (main ridge system elongated and broad) belong to Austria, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovenia and Switzerland.
The Alps are a classic example of what happens when a temperate area at lower altitude gives way to higher elevation terrain. Elevations around the world which have cold climates similar to those found in polar areas have been called alpine. A rise from sea level into the upper regions of the atmosphere causes the temperature to decrease. The effect of mountain chains on prevailing winds is to carry warm air belonging to the lower region into an upper zone, where it expands in volume at the cost of a proportionate loss of heat, often accompanied by the precipitation of moisture in the form of snow or rain.
The new Ottawa Convention which reopened this year, was built on the old site, with a major expansion and sporting this new glass facade. I really like this new look as it really adds much vibrancy and elegance to the downtown core of what is an otherwise conservative core.
Much better for the soul and eyes in the lightbox

I have to admit in reality there's only one Krystallen building by Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects, I've flipped this to create a gateway. In a difference to the previously uploaded photos where I've used this technique here I've introduced a few subtle differences to try and fool the viewer, see if you can spot them all.......

ذات شتاء ، ومن تحت نافذة .. عارية
قفز حلم .. قفزت أمنية للسماء
وتمتمة دعاء
وراء النافذة دنيا أخرى
سيكون المرج أجمل ، هكذا تقول الفراشة
ستكون النسمات .. أكثر ... طراوة
ستكون الدنيا أكثر .. حلاوة
تكذب الفراشة مجدداً
وتبقى النافذة .. عالية
وتبقى أيضاً .. عارية
