What could be more petrifying than a chihuahua dressed as a pig... Look even the cat is petrified!!
Not the best shot - we were trying the costumes on the dogs a couple weeks ago and the light was horrible and the dogs were not cooperating at all!

But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day.

Named Jaw Dan Yi, in Hmong, it’s a tiny flower growing on vertical slopes in big clusters. The Hmong use it as medicine for stomach aces, eat it fresh or boil in water and drink.
A few month ago I posted another image of this flower with the title “Like so many people in HaNoi”
Format: Silver gelatin photograph
Notes: In a series of routine wedding photographs, a freak gust of wind floating the dress is captured by the photographer

Here is a vertorama I constructed from shots taken when myself and Flickr friend Daniel Cheong did an outing to Porkkala last Friday.
“...Sabe quien tenga memoria
que ha quedado en el camino,
más de un jinete argentino
por una porción de gloria...
Homenajear su memoria
es gaucho deber creciente,
su hazaña es siempre vigente
símbolo de argentinidad,
pués cambió su integridad
por aplausos de la gente...”

The Kidron Valley - it is traditionally believed that when the Universal Resurrection is completed , trumpets will sound and the Last Judgment will take place in that Valley. For this reason the site has been a favored burial place for thousands of years. I was told the the price for a place there is over $10,000.
The Dom of the Rock was built on the site of the First and Second Temples in 691. Moslems believe that this is the site of Mohammed's ascent to heaven. The roof was gold-plated in 1994. Tourist are not allowed in the temple, now. As I was told - in the center of the Dome of the Rock is the rock of Mount Moriah on which, according to Jewish tradition, Abraham was about to sacrifice Isaac, while Moslems believe that it was Ishmael. Here stood the ARk of the Covenant in the First Temple.

Otra postal de Brujas… la verdad es que he estado mirando las fotos de ese día y creo que hay más de una “visible”... casi podría hacer otra miniserie de postales… :)
Curiosamente hace unos días, después de la visita a esta preciosa ciudad, vi una película protagonizada por Colin Farrell que se llama “Escondidos en Brujas” y a mí particularmente me gustó bastante. Un poco lenta pero divertida y sorprendente en muchos aspectos. Os recomiendo que si tenéis ocasión, la veáis.
Al estar rodada íntegramente en Brujas se pueden ver muchos de los lugares turísticos y la verdad es que la fotografía está bastante bien cuidada.
Muchas gracias a todos por los comentarios de la anterior foto y un abrazo a tod@s.
Me gusta más como queda en grande...
Yes, another postcard from Bruges, I repeat myself, I know… but I must admit I’ve been checking pictures from that day and I believe there is more than one “acceptable”… I could almost have enough for a mini postcard series from it… :)
Curiously, few days ago, after visit to this beautiful city, I watched one of the last movies from Colin Farrell named “In Bruges” that I really enjoyed it a lot. Sometimes can look slow but it was funny and surprisingly enjoyable. I recommend it honestly.
It’s filmed mainly in Bruges so many touristic places are shown in it and photography is really good…
Thank you all for your comments in previous picture… big hug to all of you.
I like more the bigger size...

So, I was shooting the sunrise out at the point on the far left of this frame, pointing to the right over the ocean when I looked up and saw this amazing formation in the strato-cumulus cloud deck. I looked around for some rock formations that lined up with the clouds but saw nothing out there. So, I ran almost a mile down the beach over terrain like you see in the foreground until I finally saw what I wanted.
Fortunately the cloud formation stayed in place long enough for me to capture it here!
Then I waited for a wave to complement the scene and provide definition to the sandstone formation on the right side of the frame. I have never seen anything like
this before or after, so I was quite fortunate!

Nuraghe Nolza è uno dei più grandi nuraghi della Sardegna. La sua costruzione risale al Bronzo Medio (1600 ac). Nolza è un grande nuraghe a pianta quadrilobata, formato da quattro torri angolari unite da bastioni rettilinei e da un mastio centrale, che conserva ancora un'altezza di 13 metri; è molto simile, quasi speculare, al complesso nuragico di Barùmini ( Su Nuraxi ). Il sito si trova in cima a un rilievo (740mt), denominato "Cùccuru Nolza", a circa 8 Km dall'abitato di Meana Sardo, nel cuore montuoso dell'isola, precisamente nella Barbagia di Belvì.
Gli scavi proseguono tuttora, non sempre con continuità; ma c'è da scommettere che là sotto si nascondono ancora molti segreti ...

Bohol has 3 municipalities which are substantial seaweed producers in the region: Jetafe, Talibon and Bien Unido. Traditionally, the most productive is Bien Unido, specifically the island of Hingutanan which sits on the nutrients-rich Danahon reef.

I have seen this beautiful art of a maple leaf created by nature on my way home from work. I love the sky reflections in the water.
Diese Herbstkunst in der Pfütze mit dem Blatt des Ahorn geschaffen von der Natur sah ich heute auf dem Weg von der Arbeit nach Hause. Mir gefiel die Spiegelung des Himmel im Wasser.

On Saturday, I dragged out my studio lights, the posing platform, and background drapes. It's been months since I set up my studio gear. I used a very basic lighting setup on this shot. (Simple always seems to work best with animals!) One stobe was pointing at the backdrop, set to 100% power. The other light was bounced out of a white umbrella onto the pugs at 80%. I always have fun playing with the lights and seeing what different setups create.

Zauberhafte Efeu Blüten
Der Gemeine Efeu (Hedera helix) ist eine Kletterpflanze und der alleinige mitteleuropäische Repräsentant der Familie der Araliengewächse (Araliaceae).
Die immergrüne Pflanze ist fähig mit ihren Haftwurzeln an Bäumen und Mauern bis zu einer Höhe von 20 Metern emporzuklettern. Efeu ist der einzige einheimische Wurzelkletterer in Mitteleuropa und kann bis zu 450 Jahre alt werden.
Die unscheinbaren, kleinen, gelbgrünen Blüten stehen in halbkugeligen Dolden und erscheinen in den Monaten September bis Oktober. Mit dieser späten Blütezeit ist der Efeu eine Besonderheit innerhalb der mitteleuropäischen Flora, die hauptsächlich in den Frühjahrs- und Sommermonaten blühen.
Zudem ist er aufgrund dieser späten Blüte und des hohen Nektargehaltes eine wichtige Nahrungsquelle für Bienen, Wespen und Schwebfliegen. Von den Schmetterlingen besucht der Admiral die Blüten. Die Efeu-Seidenbiene (Colletes hederae) hat sich sogar auf Efeu-Pollen für die Aufzucht ihrer Brut spezialisiert. (Quelle: Wikipedia)
The common ivy (Hedera helix) is a twiner and the only Central European representative of the family Araliaceae.
The evergreen plant is able to climb up to at least 25 meters to trees and walls with their roots. Ivy can reach the age of 450 years.
The small, yellow-green blossoms are umbels and appear in the months of September through October. With this late flowering ivy is a specialty within the central European flora with their mainly flowering in the spring and summer and an important food source for bees, wasps and hoverflies. Of the butterflies, the admiral visited the blossoms. The silk ivy-bee (Colletes hederae) has even exclusively specializing on ivy pollen for rearing their broods . (Source: Wikipedia )

One Canada Square (also known as the Canary Wharf Tower) is a skyscraper in Canary Wharf, London. It is the tallest building in the United Kingdom at 800 ft (240 m) above sea level, or 771 ft (235 m) above ground level[5][6] (see height section for other quoted heights). It is the sixth tallest building in the European Union.
One Canada Square is a conspicuous London landmark, clearly visible at a distance from large areas of East and South London in particular.
The tower can be seen approximately 30 miles (50 km) away from the following notable observation places:
. Gore Hill, Amersham, around 28 miles (45 km) away
. ZSL Whipsnade Zoo in Bedfordshire is over 32 miles (51 km) away
. Guildford, around 31 miles (50 km) away
Canary Wharf is a large business and shopping development in London, located in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, centred on the old West India Docks in the London Docklands.
Rivalling London's traditional financial centre, The Square Mile, Canary Wharf contains the UK's three tallest buildings:

After seeing Luke/PhotoInference's many experiments with different colored gels, I settled on green for my attempts at light painting the wreck - I liked the underwater feel the green light gave the shipwreck. Dive in and drift along with the shipwreck.
NOTE: See a new 2014 reprocessing of this image here.
The sky and stars are from just one of three exposures that were combined using masks and layer modes to produce this image. N06966 Sky: 44sec ISO 1600 f2.8 WB set to 3250 in LR; N06967&70 Light painted shipwreck: 118sec sec ISO 1600 f2.8 WB 2950/tungsten; SB24 with green colored gel.
The Neckar bridge made of wood and glass built in 1988 was at 88-m wingspan the longest wooden bridge in Europe. Approx. 1,000 acres glass keep pedestrians and cyclists dry.
The bridge is one of the two pedestrian bridges in Remseck (Region Stuttgart, Germany), at the mouth of the Rems (52 m) into the Neckar (80 m). Both bridges were built on land and then moved over the rivers.
Die Neckarbrücke aus Holz und Glas wurde 1988 gebaut und war seinerzeit mit 88 m die längste Spannbrücke in Europa aus Holz. Ca. 1.000 qm Glasplatten halten die Fussgänger und Radfahrer trocken.
Die Brücke ist eine der beiden Fussgängerbrücken, die in Remseck (bei Stuttgart) an der Mündung der Rems (52 m) in den Neckar (80 m) gebaut wurden. Beide Holzbrücken wurden zunächst an Land gefertigt und anschliessend über die Flüsse geschoben.

Happy Bokeh Wednesday!!
I must be going wacky or something. I looked at these dandelions and saw two things; fingers making a peace sign and a face, well at least the eyes! :-)
Yep, I am going wacky I think! I have to stop uploading these photos so late at night!
