Elle était sur la plage,
Caressait de sa main le sable
Le sentir, ressentir.
Pour elle, ces moments n'ont pas de prix.
Toucher les éléments
Sentir l'odeur de l'ocean
Ressentir sur sa peau le soleil
Je la regardais caresser le sable depuis un moment,je me suis approchée et lui ai demandé de prendre ses mains en photos.
Today I was going by bike again. I have visited three "heads" (Kleinheppacher Kopf - 452 m, Hörnleskopf - 426 m and Korber Kopf - 456 m).
On the picture you see the view from Korber Kopf at the vineyard and the town Korb (a municipality in the Rems-Murr district, 15 km northeast of Stuttgart).

Lyon
Dernière halte dans l'escalier escarpé montant à Fourvière, j'étais rouge en arrivant en haut de cet escalier ! La vue extraordinaire sur le vieux Lyon et sur la cathédrale Saint-Jean qui se dégage encore un peu plus m'a bien récompensé de l'effort.
NB : J'ai hésité à choisir entre cette photo et la première de la montée (CF commentaire en dessous) qui montrent chacune l'escalier qu'il a fallu gravir. Mais pour finir, je les ai mises chacune en ligne sur Flickr, car je trouve qu'elles le valent toutes les deux.

This view of the Vieux Lyon and Saint John cathedral filled me with joy
Last pause on the steep stairs rising to Fourvière, i was red when reaching the top of the stairs! The outstanding view of the Vieux Lyon ("old Lyon") and Saint John cathedral, which emerges still more, rewarded me well for the effort.
NB: I hesitated to choose between this shot and the first of the rise (see comment below) that each show the stairs I had to climb.
But finally, i got to put each online in Flickr, because i think they are both worth of it.

I have loved his rough look from the day I met him. His name suits his looks - and if he wore clothes, it had to be denim...
Many thanks to David for suggesting the music, which of course must be ZZ Top's Rough boy. :)

canon5d2+samyang 14mm f2,8 20s iso4000 - 20 shots with geminids merged of about 500 totally made during continious shooting on december 14/15.
After i returned back home from the forest lake where i was shooing privious pano with meteors i sat down in my garden chair and just stared at meteors falling here and there. The activity was really fine and i wanted to relax a bit, so i left camera shooting automatically with 20s exposures. After an hour and a half i went to sleep and when i got up i realised my 14mm lens was covered with hoar frost! Was a bit pity, but as i founf later i had already captured some great meteors which i merged into this resulting image. So sad the upper left geminid didnt fit the frame properly!! Perhaps the next year i'll try to shoot some shower using 8mm samyang lens thus aiming to cath the big fat ones mostly xD
Also check my other meteor showers composites:

A rare bird for Florida. Franklin's Gulls are very similar to Laughing Gulls. They are slightly smaller, with a smaller bill, larger white eye arcs and a darker, more extensive hood in winter.
Some friends and I spent several hours picking through a couple thousand Laughing Gulls at a few different locations in the Daytona Beach area one day this fall. We finally found what we were looking for right before sunset. This is a first cycle (first winter) bird as shown by the brown feathers in the wing.

Per te che curi questo amore
come fosse un fiore delicato
e ci metti tutto,
tutto ciò che riesci a dare,
e comprendi un mondo
che i miei occhi
sanno appena immaginare...

Les Anneaux de Buren (nommés aussi Les Anneaux) sont une œuvre de Daniel Buren et Patrick Bouchain située sur le Quai des Antilles à Nantes (sur l'île de Nantes).
Le long de la Loire et du hangar à bananes, l'œuvre est composée de 18 anneaux de 4 mètres de diamètre et de couleur argent, fixés à la rambarde du quai, situés à égale distance, les uns derrière les autres. La nuit, les anneaux s'éclairent, alternant rouges, verts et bleus.
Les Anneaux ont été créés pour laisser place à l'interprétation du visiteur. Néanmoins Daniel Buren a souhaité inscrire son œuvre dans l'histoire de la ville et sa géographie. Ainsi, les cercles formés font référence aux anneaux qui enserraient et emprisonnaient les esclaves, en référence au commerce triangulaire dont Nantes a été la plaque tournante au XVIIIe siècle.
De même, ils évoquent des anneaux de mariage unissant le fleuve, la mer et la terre sur un espace à la croisée des éléments.
Les anneaux sont installés sur d'anciens bollards dont l'artiste a respecté le nombre, le rythme et la disposition. L'œuvre a été imaginée de manière à ce que sa vision nocturne soit totalement différente de sa vision diurne : en journée, les anneaux constitués d'acier galvanisé invitent le regard du visiteur à balayer tout le paysage environnant, tandis que la nuit des éclairages aux leds proposent des jeux colorés et lumineux dominants qui s’entrelacent et se fondent les uns dans les autres.

Buren's Rings (also called The Rings) is a work of Daniel Buren and Patrick Bouchain located on the Quai des Antilles in Nantes (island of Nantes).
Along the Loire and the bananas shed, the work consists of 18 rings, 4 meters diameter, silver colored, attached to the railing of the pier, located at equal distance, one behind the other. At night, the rings are illuminated red, green and blue alternating.
The Rings were created to allow interpretation for the visitor. Nevertheless Daniel Buren wanted to include his work in the history of the city and its geography. Thus, circles refer to the rings which enclosed and imprisoned slaves, with reference to the triangular trade. Nantes was the hub of this eighteenth century trade.
Similarly, they evoke wedding rings uniting the river, sea and land on a space at the intersection of the elements.
The rings are installed on old bollards which the artist has met the number, timing and layout. The work was conceived so that his night vision is completely different from its daytime vision. During the day, the rings made of galvanized steel invite the visitor's eye to sweep all the surrounding landscape, while the night lights LEDs offer the dominant bright, colorful games that intertwine and merge into each other.

One Angel Square
One Angel Square[1] is an office building in Manchester, England. Construction work began in 2010 and was completed in February 2013. The landmark building is the head office of the Co-operative Group. Standing 72.5 metres (237.8 feet) tall, the building forms the centrepiece of the new £800 million NOMA development in the northern quarter of Manchester city centre. The building cost at least £105 million to construct and was sold on leaseback terms in 2013 for £142 million.
One Angel Square is one of the most sustainable large buildings in Europe and is built to a BREEAM 'Outstanding' rating. It is powered by a biodiesel cogeneration plant using rapeseed oil to provide electricity and heat. The structure makes use of natural resources, maximising passive solar gain for heat and using natural ventilation through its double-skin facade, adiabatic cooling, rainwater harvesting, greywater recycling and waste heat recycling.
The building's distinctive form has been compared to a sliced egg and a ship.[16] Its design was announced by architects 3DReid in May 2009 and construction began in July 2010 with a projected completion date in March 2013. In December 2012, the scheme surpassed its pan-European sustainability aims and achieved a world-record BREEAM score of 95.32%. It is also an energy-plus building, producing surplus energy and zero carbon emissions. The building has received numerous awards for its striking aesthetic and sustainability aims.
"... Tenho um cuiudo picaço,
peito e anca que é um colosso,
que já me deu muito gosto
mandando corda em rodeio,
- quando eu abria pra fora
num armadão encopado
e acomodava o chumbado
lustrando a capa do olho ..."

Stuttgart is the only city in Germany where wine is grown within the urban area, mainly in the districts of Rotenberg, Uhlbach and Untertürkheim.
Stuttgart is still one of Germany's largest wine-growing cities with more than 400 hectares of vine area, thanks in main to its location at the centre of Germany's fourth largest wine region, the Württemberg wine growing area which covers 11,522 hectares (28,470 acres) and is one of only 13 official areas captured under German Wine law. The continuing importance of wine to the local economy is marked every year at the annual wine festival ('Weindorf'). (Wikipedia)
