Levanto is the Hidden Gem on the Italian Riviera and the doorway to the Cinque Terre. A town of pre-roman origins, lies at the northern end of the enticing little villages. Levanto literally means the land situated east of Genova. It has a long sandy beach, an interesting old center, many delightful painted villas, a bustling Wednesday market, and good restaurants and shops. Levanto is a real town with a city park where families get together and the children have fun. You can actually even find a laundromat here as well as normal shops not always found in larger touristy locations. It's most picturesque, fun and quaint at the same time, very accessible, and terrific for swimming. Being on the water makes the cliffs more dramatic, the colors more intense, and the water a deeper shade of blue. Enjoying a partcularly mild climate, from here it's easy to visit the fascinating ports of the Cinque Terre, either by train, by sea or hiking.
Beautiful cycle path built on the route of the old coastal railway from Levanto to Bonassola. Along the stretch these young couple can also access to beaches and hidden coves otherwise unreachable except by sea. Among the most loveliest paths there is in Italy. Recommended to all.
Levanto ligt in de Italiaanse regio Ligurië en valt onder de provincie La Spezia. Levanto is voor vele Cinque Terre bezoekers de verblijfplaats voor hun bezoek. Er zijn heel wat hotelletjes en B&Bs, die doorgaans iets goedkoper zijn dan deze in de vijf dorpen van de Cinque Terre. Met de trein ben je vanuit Levanto op enkele minuten in Monterosso. Maar Levanto is ook zelf meer dan de moeite waard. Omringd door een uiterst vriendelijke plaatselijke bevolking en verwend met alle culinaire geneugtes van Italië is het een weldaad om in Levanto door te brengen. Onthaasten op een terrasje, heerlijk uitrusten aan het prachtige strand en 's avonds lekker eten. Het dorp is omringd door heuvels die zijn bezaaid met wijngaarden en olijfbomen en heeft fantastische stranden, adembenemende riffen en kristalheldere wateren. Leuk en erg gezellig, zeer toegankelijk en geweldig voor zwemmen. Het strand in Levanto wordt in de zomermaanden altijd druk bezocht door Italianen.

If I held in my hand
Every grain of sand
Since time first began to be
Still, I could never count
Measure the amount
Of all the things you are to me
If I could paint the sky
Hang it out to dry
I would want the sky to be
Oh, such a grand design
An everlasting sign
Of all the things you are to me
You are the sun
That comes on summer winds
You are the falling year
That autumn brings
You are the wonder and the mystery
In everything I see
The things you are to me
Sometimes I wake at night
And suddenly take fright
You might be just fantasy
But then you reach for me
And once again I see
All the things you are to me
You are the sun
That comes on summer winds
You are the falling year
That autumn brings
You are the wonder and the mystery
In everything I see
The things you are to me
All the things you are… to me

Monterosso is one of the five villages in Cinque Terre. The Cinque Terre have come to be among the most popular areas of Italy among tourists. The coastline, the five villages, and the surrounding hillsides are all encapsulated in a national park by the same name. The Cinque Terre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's most picturesque, fun and quaint at the same time, very accessible, and terrific for swimming. Monterosso al Mare is actually two towns—a bustling, character-filled old town built behind the harbor. Narrow and winding streets, colorfully-painted buildings, unique shops, people at work and play - similar to most Italian towns. Somehow, though, it just never gets old. The medieval Torre Aurora or Dawn Tower separates the old part of Monterosso from the new part. It is located on a headland, jutting out into the sea. The tower is the only one remaining of an original 13 towers which surrounded Monterosso in the 16th century. In addition to the spectacular scenery, Monterosso’s beaches are favorites with tourists because they provide easy access to the culinary delights for which the region is so famous. The grapes and olives cultivated on terraces carved into the surrounding mountainside are turned into award-winning wines, liqueurs, and olive oils. Anchovies are a local specialty, as is the pesto sauce, made from locally produced basil, garlic, pine nuts, and pecorino cheese.
Clothes drip dry from washing lines above the restaurants, the narrow streets are clad in stone, and in the evenings, the sea gentle tumbles the shoreline's boulders. Monterosso may be the busiest of the Cinque Terre towns, with the most hotels, restaurants, and bustle, but calling it "busy" is a relative thing. The town remains little more than an oversized fishing village, with all the attendant charms.
Monterosso is het meest noordelijke dorp van de Cinque Terre en het enige met een zandstrand. Het dorpje wordt in twee gesplitst door een uitstekende rots, met bovenop een kasteel. Het havengebied is rijk aan oude steegjes, typische smalle kleurrijke straatjes van Ligurië, waar je wijnbars, restaurants, focaccia en ijssalons kunt vinden. Het oude stadsdeel ligt achter de spoorlijn en in de kleine straatjes liggen talrijke winkeltjes en eetgelegenheden.Monterosso heeft een leuke boulevard en pleintjes. De restaurants in de oude binnenstad zijn van goede kwaliteit, het slimste is van te voren te reserveren anders is er wellicht geen plaats meer. Het dorp ligt in het natuurpark Cinque Terre, een groene, bosrijke en heuvelachtige omgeving met authentieke dorpjes en hoge rotskliffen. Langs de kust loopt een wandelpad die de Cinque Terre met elkaar verbindt, nl. van Monterosso al Mare via Vernazza, Corniglia en Manarola naar Riomaggiore. Je kan op verschillende manieren de prachtige omgeving bekijken, wandelen, trein en boot.
Lightbox ("L") recommended!
Until my last two uploads it's been nearly a year (4th Nov 2011) since I uploaded a shot with a daytime sky in it. Only 2 of the 28 shots I posted in that time were even taken in the daytime. Even then, you have to go back to August 2011 to find any real number of daytime shots. So I'm trying, briefly, to redress the balance.
This is my first attempt at a panorama shot. It's composed of seven handheld exposures; shot portrait on manual. The output was 600Mb! You won't need too keen an eye to spot the beginners mistakes; like the artifacts from the attempts to process out the vignetting. Anyway, I'd shot the images to make a panorama, and felt it wouldn't count as following through if I didn't post them. Criticism would be, as ever, hugely appreciated.
I used content aware fill on CS5 to fill corners. When it built the other half of the far left tree, I was pretty stunned. It's more magic than technology.
This is a shot from Zumwalt Meadow; a spot at the end of California's Kings Canyon National Park which offers a little circular walk beneath these giant crags. I'd recommend it hugely.
I'm part way through catching up from a couple of week's away, so sorry for the slow tour. Hope everyone's having a fantastic weekend!

Pombal é terra de história, de lendas e de gente ilustre. Do grande Marquês de Pombal, do historiador e escritor João de Barros, do político Mota Pinto, da poetisa Martel Patrício, do médico e escritor Amadeu da Cunha, entre tantos outros. A construção do castelo de Pombal é atribuída aos Templários, a quem D. Afonso Henriques doou esta região, todavia há provas da existência de uma fortificação romana neste local, que os árabes terão ocupado até à reconquista cristã da península. Com a extinção da Ordem do Templo, em 1311, o rei D. Dinis, entregou este castelo à Ordem de Cristo e já no início do século XV, D. João I doou-o ao conde de Castelo Melhor. D. Manuel I, por volta de 1500, decide fazer obras de recuperação do castelo, algo degradado, e no século XVII, o conde de Castelo Melhor adaptou-o para a sua residência. Durante as invasões francesas foi saqueado e incendiado, o que ditou o seu posterior abandono e ruína. Classificado como Monumento Nacional, beneficiou de obras de consolidação e restauro, por parte da Direcção-Geral dos Edifícios e Monumentos Nacionais.
Edificado sobre uma planta em forma de escudo, destaca-se no seu interior, a Torre de Menagem, vestígios da primitiva igreja românica de São Miguel e a alcáçova Manuelina. A vila de Pombal viu ser erguido, na sua mais elevada e rochosa colina, um castelo pela iniciativa de Gualdim Pais, mestre da Ordem do Templo em Portugal, corria o ano de 1160. Esta seria uma zona defendida pelos Templários, numa época em que se temiam as incursões muçulmanas nas inseguras terras situadas a sul do Rio Mondego. Ao mesmo tempo que se valorizava a defesa territorial, as novas construções militares abrigavam populações recentes, essenciais para assegurar uma eficaz política de repovoamento do território conquistado. A fortaleza foi implantada segundo uma orientação noroeste-sudoeste, com a primeira zona defendida por uma muralha rectilínea e ameada, enquanto as partes restantes se articulavam segundo os ângulos das suas torres defensivas. Algumas áreas da barbacã ainda sobrevivem, bem como as ruínas de diversas estruturas arquitectónicas de diferentes épocas e que formavam o interior da praça de armas - tais como alicerces, pavimentos, paredes, arcos e ruínas da primitiva igreja românica de S. Miguel.
Na zona ocidental da muralha ergueu-se a alcáçova quinhentista, subsistindo da época manuelina os brasões reais e uma janela geminada. Extramuros, próximo da ala sul, situava-se a arruinada e antiga igreja matriz de Pombal, a Igreja de Santa Maria do Castelo. Poupada às vicissitudes da guerra durante alguns séculos, a população de Pombal viria a sofrer uma cruel e trágica devastação na época das Invasões Francesas. Com efeito, momentos de drama e horror foram vividos em 1811, por alturas da terceira invasão, sob o comando de Massena, que regressava derrotado das Linhas de Torres Vedras. A brutalidade e a vingança abateram-se sobre a indefesa população de Pombal. Na sua espiral de violência, os franceses destruíram igrejas e conventos, roubaram e maltrataram tudo que encontravam pela frente, para, finalmente, incendiarem toda a vila e o seu austero e pacífico castelo. São mentes destas que nunca deveriam ter tido a oportunidade sequer de viver… Mas como todos nós sabemos o mundo perfeito é uma perfeita Utopia…
Lenda do Mouro Al-Pal-Omar
Aqui habitava um senhor mouro de nome Al-Pal-Omar (de onde derivaria o nome de Pombal). Vivia no alto do morro do castelo, onde tinha o seu palácio subterrâneo. A lenda começa assim: Há muito tempo nas margens do rio Quabruncas vivia um belo jovem mouro de olhos verdes, cor de esmeralda traiçoeira, que procurava encantar todas as mais belas mulheres para o seu harém. A sua fama estendia-se desde as margens do Mondego até às margens do Tejo em vagas de simpatia e acanhado respeito. Certo dia os Templários guiados pelo Arcanjo D. Miguel deram-lhe um combate de morte que durou até ao luar de Agosto. No momento, viram-no desaparecer na gruta encantada do seu palácio. Taparam-lhe todas as entradas e construíram-lhe em cima um Castelo. As raparigas desta terra ainda guardam na memória a fama deste mouro encantador, contada de mães para filhas em singela advertência. Toda a menina que for ao Castelo depois do Sol se pôr, ouvirá uma música harmoniosa quase impercetível, e se ficarem curiosas a ouvi-la, serão encantadas por um belo rapaz que lhes cantará:” Menina vem ter comigo, vem o meu encanto quebrar, sou um mouro teu amigo, que só te quer namorar…

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)
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.

Chianti is a red Italian wine produced in Tuscany. The first definition of a wine-area called Chianti was made in 1716. The earliest documentation of a Chianti wine dates back to the thirteenth century when viticulture was known to flourish in the Chianti Mountains around Florence. Discover the most celebrated region of Tuscany. The vineyards of this area produce one of the best wines in the world: Chianti Classico. This Wine represents a major source of wealth for the Chianti area, no wonder then that this product has been particularly looked after and protected, in order to distinguish its quality from other wine productions. This is why a rigid legislation has been introduced to regulate the production of Classic Chianti. The first limit obviously regards the geographical area where the grape must grow. But not only the vineyards must be cultivated in the prescribed area: the whole process of wine-making, storage and bottling must take place inside the protected zone. The grape variety from which Chianti is produced is Sangiovese. The alcoholic strength must not exceed 12 %. In addition to this, there are other requirements that must be followed, regarding the average amount of dry product (24 g/l); the acidity rate (4,5 g/l), the colour (intense ruby red), the smell (fruity, with nuances of wildflowers, berries, cherries or plums) and taste (harmonious, dry, strong and with respectable tannin).
We drive on the glorious wine roads of Tuscany. We visit the farms and cellars and of-course taste the great Chianti wine. Here we visit Casale Dello Sparviero. Harmoniously set in the hills of Castellina in Chianti, in the Siena's Classico area, the estate is spread 380 hectares. The vineyards are set on the altitude of 250 metres and encircled by woods and self vegetation. The Casale dated back to XVI century. The building houses the wine cellars, where wine continues its precious evolution in large oak barrels for quality wine.
Denk je aan Toscana, dan zie je stadjes op heuveltoppen, wijngaarden omzoomd door cipressen zover het oog reikt. Liefhebbers weten dat je overal tussen die landerijen. wijnhuizen kunt vinden waar je ook nog eens kunt proeven... het idee alleen al doet je toch bijna het water in de mond lopen. Ook als je weer thuis bent en je neemt een slok van je meegebrachte wijn, ben je er in je gedachten weer helemaal: op dat zonovergoten terras in Castellina in Chianti of bij dat fantastische restaurant met die truffelgerechten in Monteriggioni. Zeg je wijn in Toscana, dan zeg je Chianti, een wijn die zich in de laatste 30 jaar tot Classico heeft ontwikkeld. Chianti is de bekendste en populairste van alle Italiaanse wijnen. De wijn wordt gemaakt van de alom aanwezige Sangiovese-druif, die graag veel zon heeft en goed bestand is tegen grote temperatuurschommelingen. De belangrijkste Chianti-zones worden gevormd door de streek Chianti Classico gelegen rond Castellina. Zoals met zoveel in Italia, is ook de wijnbouw begonnen in het zuiden, maar hebben de noorderlingen het later overgenomen. Na de Romeinse tijd kwam de zuidelijke wijnbouw in de versukkeling. De oudste ononderbroken wijntraditie. In de Renaissance kwam de productie weer helemaal terug en wel in...Toscana. Rijke handelaars en bankiers zoals de families Frescobaldi en Antinori namen druivenrassen mee uit Frankrijk en legden daarmee de basis voor het feit dat Toscana tegenwoordig de oudste onononderbroken wijntradities van Italië kent.
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.
This is from the danish championships in decathlon. The weather conditions were perfect and we had a great time with other track and field clubs.

“Tú no eres para mí todavía más que un muchachito igual a otros cien mil muchachitos. Y no te necesito. Tampoco tú tienes necesidad de mí. No soy para ti más que un zorro entre otros cien mil zorros semejantes. Pero si me domesticas, entonces tendremos necesidad el uno del otro. Tú serás para mí único en el mundo, yo seré para ti único en el mundo…”

El Cortijo del Fraile es una edificación que está situado al Sureste de Níjar (Almería), dentro del Parque Natural de Cabo de Gata-Níjar. Las localidades más cercanas son Los Albaricoques y Rodalquilar. En sus proximidades tuvo lugar el 22 de julio de 1928 el suceso conocido como Crimen de Nijar que inspiró el drama en verso de Federico García Lorca titulado Bodas de Sangre.
La noticia sobre el Crimen de Nijar aparecida en ABC del 25 de julio de 1928, que titulada “Crimen desarrollado en circunstancias misteriosas”, decía:
“Almería, 24, 1 tarde. En las inmediaciones de un cortijo de Níjar se ha perpetrado un crimen en circunstancias misteriosas. Para la mañana de ayer se había concertado la boda de una hija del cortijero, joven de veinte años.
En la casa de hallaban esperando la hora de ceremonia el novio y numerosos invitados. Como la hora se acercaba y la novia no llegaba ni aparecía por la casa, los invitados se retiraron contrariados. Uno de éstos encontró a una distancia de ocho kilómetros del cortijo el cadáver ensangrentado de un primo de la novia que iba a casarse, apellidado Montes Cañadas, de treinta y cuatro años. A las voces de auxilio del que hizo el hallazgo acudieron numerosas personas que regresaban de la cortijada y la Guardia Civil, que logró dar con la novia, que se hallaba en un lugar próximo al que estaba el cadáver y con las ropas desgarradas.
Detenida la novia, manifestó que había huido en unión de su primo para burlar al novio. La fuga la emprendieron en una caballería, y al llegar al lugar del crimen les salió al encuentro un enmascarado, que hizo cuatro disparos, produciendo la muerte de Montes Cañadas.
También fue detenido el novio, quien niega toda participación en el crimen, que hasta ahora parece envuelto en el mayor misterio.”

Machu Picchu is possibly the most famous archaeological site in all of the Americas, and is also one of the most beautiful places anywhere on earth. It is often referred to as the Lost City of the Incas because it lay undiscovered until 24th July, 1911.
Machu Picchu is actually the name of the tall mountain to the south of the ruins, and means ‘old peak'. This is in contrast to Huayna Picchu, the sugarloaf mountain to the north of the ruins, which means ‘young peak'.
Machu Picchu was built by the Incas during the 15th century but was mysteriously abandoned.
Archeologists believe that Machu Picchu was built, occupied and abandoned all within the space of about 100 years and it didn’t take very long for the jungle vegetation to completely reclaim the mountain and hide the existence of the city for hundreds of years.
The site was never looted by the Spanish, and it is therefore the best-preserved Inca complex in existence.

Our past molds the person we are. We cannot choose our family and their influence, but we can make the most of our circumstances in a positive light.
Family is weird thing. Some families are close, some have profound disagreements and rifts. Ultimately they are part of your life, even if only in the past tense.
Family dynamics are wrought with emotional drama and all the baggage that comes with it. Often if requires diplomacy of great magnitude to maintain some peace and stability, not unlike politics.

He was so happy to see the sunrise! It has been a very long time since I photographed Plankton! He was very miffed and uncooperative, but finally I got him to oblige. Even toys can't resist a good sunrise over the lake!
It has also been a long time since I posted a Toy on Thursday! *gasp* In fact ... the last time I posted was way back in January, and ... incidentally, that one was taken in Chicago too!
Happy Toy-in-the-Frame Thursday!!

It’s great to finally post again! My new website has kept me very busy. So many photographers have amazing websites now. My new venture has been a surprising success so far, and if anyone is interested I would be happy to share what I have learned. I have a “My Blog” link on my website, where I will include steps I have taken to make the site work, including how I have been able to sell prints internationally. This was a nightmare at first; however I figured out a system for almost all sales.
The Shot: I scouted out The Marin Headlands Area to the north of San Francisco, for a spot where I could capture an image of the fireworks show, which was to be the finale of The Golden Gate Bridge 75th anniversary celebration. The Headland hills were littered with people wanting to witness the display, including many other photographers. I chose to set up on Wolfback Ridge, where I was joined by about 200 other excited individuals. This was a great spot and not bad at all for shooting the fireworks; however I soon realized that I was not set up at the best possible location to capture what I had envisioned.
While waiting for the show’s finale, I became captivated by the colorful little boats that had gathered in the harbor. I decided to attempt a 6-shot pano of the scene to include the boats, city skyline and the car light trail that snaked from The Golden Gate Bridge along Highway 101. While I kept my camera aperture setting at a constant f/8, I realized that I needed to adjust the shutter speed setting as I panned across the scene. Doing this would give me a better chance of maintaining even lighting throughout the sky.

The buttes of the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park are icons of the Wild West.
They have been the background of many movies such as John Ford’s Stagecoach with John Wayne and have had bit parts in Easy Rider, 2010 Space Odyssey, The Eiger Sanction and Forest Gump.
You will see vehicles on the road in the foreground. If you had looked a short while before this photo was taken, you would have seen my red Toyota proceeding in a cloud of dust along the road.
This is the view from the visitor's center.
I would like to return and spend much more time to see and capture the beauty of the park.
Not something I'd normally post, but two together, especially the diversity between the two GT-R's, was pretty different...
I'm not going to pretend that I really like GT-R's, because I don't. I once did, when they first came out a few years ago, but somehow they lost all 'coolness' to me. What do you think of the GT-R? Also, what year GTR's are these? I think that the white and red are 2011 and 2010, respectively. Correct me if I'm wrong though :P (probably!)
Anyway, I threw this up because I just saw it there, and wondered if anyone would be interested. I took this shot quite a while ago while on a group photo shoot with "MSCC". I've got some more cool stuff coming *soon*... :O
C&C appreciated!
