wanting to be still
to be still with you
in the shadows
all those buildings
all those people/ celebrating/ sunlight & love/ you
you are sucha fool/ you spend all day piling up images
locations/ morsels of daydreams/ to give me a poem
just smile/ i'll get it
~Ntozake Shange
I found this poem a few months ago - Folded, printed on mimeograph paper. It was tucked between the dog-eared pages of Shange's book. It is a book that I've had since grad school. I forgot how much I love the words, and they just seemed to fit...
Happy (abstract with heavy poetry) Fence Friday!
Tripod test: 45 second exposure with very strong wind after today's storm.
I was really lucky again - the blue sky came out for about 20 minutes - after that it began to hail...
I'm using the Haida 1000x ND filter. I had a B+W before, but it produced a strong red color cast and it cost 90€ with 77mm thread, compared to the 35€ i paid for the Haida, which produces far better colors.

“I think there should be something in science called the "reindeer effect." I don't know what it would be, but I think it'd be good to hear someone say, "Gentlemen, what we have here is a terrifying example of the reindeer effect."”

Amanece con niebla en la Laguna de Boada de Campos./ Sunrise and fog in Boada de Campos Lagoon
♫ 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..
This was the sunrise over Seattle this morning, my friends. It was one of the most phenomenal sunrises I had seen in months. You can see Mount Rainier, Washington State’s tallest mountain (and dormant volcano) that dominates the horizon on unbelievably clear days such as this one.
An impromptu decision to curtail my morning workout at the gym gave way to serendipity, which led me to capture this image today. If I had followed my regular routine this morning, I would have completely missed this.
This image was taken from the balcony of my apartment. Enjoy!

Here is another shot from our trip to the backwaters in Kerala. this is what people living in these areas see on a daily basis. The beautiful Sunset across the array of coconut tress makes for an enchanting scene and for me, a first time visitor to this part of the world, it was nothing less than magical.
On the technical front, I'm not completely happy with this image. The light was too harsh and was difficult to handle the exposure. This is the best I could achieve after processing it but some good GND filters would have made my life easier and I'm planning to invest in them something soon.
Have a wonderful day ahead, my friends.
Explored on 7th December 2011. Best position #15
A bit of Autumn's last glory!! I know the title sounds 'sad' but I'm not sad at all! Just love that song! :-)
Happy Bokeh Wednesday!

Instantanea tomada junto al puente "neuf" sobre el rio "Agoût" que refleja en sus
aguas los colores de las viviendas colgantes, que dan un toque magistral a esta
encantadora ciudad francesa.
Para captar todo el ancho del rio, y la gran profundidad de campo hacia el puente
viejo, utilizé una lente ultra gran angular, "Sigma 10 ÷ 20 mm EX DC"
El mejor momento para "inmortalizar" este bellisimo paraje, es durante las puestas
de sol, donde las ultimas luces hacen proyectar el cielo, las nubes y los colores de
las casas en las placidas aguas del Agoût, brindando un momento fotografico unico.

Taken from my hotel room on the 22nd floor of the Cerulean Tower Hotel in Shibuya , Tokyo .
The Hotel actually had 40 floors on the elevator so I asked the concierge in my most polite japanese if it was possible for me to go higher up to make a photo ?
He said I could from the restaurant but it opens at 11am and unfortunately I had to leave at by 7.30 for the airport . I can only imagine how spectacular that view must have been. Shikata ga nai !
Also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976.
Yesterday was very significant day for our astronomical association. We had meeting with President of Republic of Croatia. He became our honorary member and he will be patronage for next year Ten days of astronomy in Daruvar. We are so proud about this. It's a great honor.
Also we had assembly. It was the occasion for socializing with other astronomers. We were at Petrov vrh, which is at an altitude of 547.00 m. Night was so clear. It was amazing to see so bright sky with so many stars.

When founded in 1781, the city you see here was coined “El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles”, or "The Town of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels”. It was a northern city of what was then known as “New Spain”, which is present-day Mexico. At the time of establishment by Los Pobladores (“the townspeople”), LA had an initial population of 48 people.
230 years later, that population is now 3.8 million. LA is the second largest city in the USA, and the 48th most populous city in the world.
New images of LA are now available in the “LATEST HITS” section of TIA’s official website.

A temple snuck in at the junction of the hillsides. An oddment in Ladakh as there is no Hindu population large enough to build temples. You have Buddhists in majority and they have their monasteries to go to. There are few Moslems and that is all.
This is a temple located enroute to Pangongtso and lies at the base of the actual climb to the Changla Pass. The deft touch of hybrid construction and assimilation with Buddhism is all there to see. The prayer flags in red, yellow, blue and white fluttering briskly in the cold breeze are the visible hallmarks of Buddhist temples.
Peace and Prayers flow everywhere, religions are localized. These makeshift temples are courtsey the Army and there you have the Hindu population for you.

My husband was concerned, the sky was very dark then maybe we would not see sunset in Naples, he had already visited the city and the beaches, but for my sister Miriam, my son, Jose Luis and I, it was our first time, I I told him that the sun would beat the clouds and as we expected this time of sunset, the boat gave us this picture worthy of retention and remember in our hearts.
I did not use textures here just added my signature with my photoshop program.

Yes, the cows came up to me and made my life hell until I gave up and went away.
One of a pair of stones catching the first rays of the morning sun in a field not far from home, I will most likely post a shot of the other one some rainy day.
The walk through the old town and the park constituted a magnificent afternoon. Autumn is so beautiful when the weather is fine and the coloured leaves are glowing in the sun like again last weekend. Here you see a colourful view from the bridge over the Enz.
Bietigheim-Bissingen, Germany is the second-largest town in the district of Ludwigsburg, Baden-Württemberg. It is situated on the river Enz, about 19 km north of Stuttgart, and 20 km south of Heilbronn.
The park is part of the horticultural show held in 1989. The garden for citizens is on the edge of Old Town.
Please take your time ... I love it to view Large On Black
Der Spaziergang durch die Altstadt und den Bürgergarten ergaben einen herrlichen Nachmittag. Ich liebe den Herbst, wenn die Sonne scheint und die bunten Blätter zum Leuchten bringt. Diese Aufnahme habe ich von der Brücke über die Enz gemacht.
Bietigheim-Bissingen ist die zweitgrößte Stadt im Landkreis Ludwigsburg, Baden-Württemberg, Deutschland. Bietigheim an der Enz gelegen, befindet sich ca. 19 km nördlich von Stuttgart, und 20 km südlich von Heilbronn.
Der Park ist Teil der Landesgartenschau, die 1989 abgehalten wurde. Der Bürgergarten befindet sich am Rande der Altstadt.

Iceland[4][5] i/ˈaɪslənd/ (Icelandic: Ísland, IPA: [ˈislant]; see Names for Iceland), officially called Republic of Iceland[6][7][8] and sometimes its counterpart Lýðveldið Ísland in Icelandic (for example this is a part of the name of the Constitution of Iceland, Stjórnarskrá lýðveldisins Íslands), is a Nordic European island country in the North Atlantic Ocean, on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.[9] The country has a population of about 320,000 and a total area of 103,000 km2 (40,000 sq mi).[10] The capital and largest city is Reykjavík,[11] with the surrounding areas in the southwestern region of the country being home to two-thirds of the country's population. Iceland is volcanically and geologically active. The interior mainly consists of a plateau characterised by sand fields, mountains and glaciers, while many glacial rivers flow to the sea through the lowlands. Iceland is warmed by the Gulf Stream and has a temperate climate despite a high latitude just outside the Arctic Circle.
According to Landnámabók, the settlement of Iceland began in AD 874 when the chieftain Ingólfur Arnarson became the first permanent Norse settler on the island.[12] Others had visited the island earlier and stayed over winter. Over the following centuries, Norsemen settled Iceland, bringing with them thralls (serfs) of Gaelic origin. From 1262 to 1918 Iceland was part of the Norwegian and later the Danish monarchies. Until the 20th century, the Icelandic population relied largely on fisheries and agriculture. Industrialisation of the fisheries and Marshall Aid brought prosperity in the years after World War II. In 1994, Iceland became party to the European Economic Area, which made it possible for the economy to diversify into economic and financial services.
Iceland has a free market economy with relatively low taxes compared to other OECD countries,[13] while maintaining a Nordic welfare system providing universal health care and tertiary education for its citizens.[14] In recent years, Iceland has been one of the wealthiest and most developed nations in the world. In 2011, it was ranked as the 14th most developed country in the world by the United Nations' Human Development Index,[3] and the fourth most productive country per capita.[15] In 2008, the nation's entire banking system systemically failed and there was substantial resulting political unrest.
Icelandic culture is founded upon the nation's Norse heritage. Most Icelanders are descendants of Norse (particularly from Western Norway) and Gaelic settlers. Icelandic, a North Germanic language, is closely related to Faroese and some West Norwegian dialects. The country's cultural heritage includes traditional Icelandic cuisine, poetry, and the medieval Icelanders' sagas. Currently, Iceland has the smallest population among NATO members and is the only one with no standing army.

slowly we step into winter.... first snow on the road, cold wind blowing, a last view to autumn (maybe...) and waiting for christmas.
"Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet."
A different view of the Brighton Wheel.
I had a walk along the seafront scouting for shots and found this small but usable puddle for a reflection.
It was raining slightly so there was no big puddles which is what I really wanted.
I got down really low but just out of danger from the cycle route.
The floodlights on the wheel where really bright and I blew the highlights a bit but still like the shot, hope you like it too.
Thanks for all your amazing comments, views and favs.

Back to the Getty, one more time. :-)) This my first non square crop in a long, long time, love that kind of crop, but have to mix it up if you know what I mean. :-))
Hope everyone is doing great, especially those of you like in the North East USA after that freak snow storm! :-))
The end of the Aeroshell performance. All the team planes lined up on the runway in front of the crowd, spun around and cranked out a load of smoke. What a sight!

Chizuko and I were fortunate enough to take advantage of an after-school program that looks after the kids from 6pm-11pm. Kind of a bulk childcare service for parents that want a night out alone.
A real win-win-win for everyone: Parents (for obvious reasons), Kids (because they *insisted* on going so they could play with their friends!), and the Sitters (who can make economies of scale on the venture, as there are 20+ kids ;-)
Chizuko and I decided, upon the recommendation of good friends, on the "Orange Hill" restaurant which is (as the name implies) on a hill overlooking all of Orange County and parts of Los Angeles.
We had an outside table with absolutely *stunning* views. Easily one of the best dinner views I've ever had.
Shot taken with my point-n-shoot Lumix LX5 of the sunset while we enjoyed a great dinner overlooking where we now live.
Orange County, California
**If you live near this place, do yourself a favor and go about an hour before sunset, and be sure to eat outside at the bar before 7pm, as you get "Happy Hour" prices not only on drinks, but on *food*. Total tab was less than 1/2 what I was expecting to pay and the food was excellent. A real 'value' considering the world-class view.
