Estas fotos de la serie pertenecen a tres lugares de Caminha, un bonito pueblo portugués en la desembocadura del río Miño.

 

La Mata Nacional de Camarido, el mayor pinar atlántico portugués, al norte del río Duero.

Fué mandado plantar por el Rey Don Dinís en el siglo XIV, al borde mismo de la playa.

Basicamente es de pino bravo y ha sido repoblado en el año 2011 con 18.000 nuevos árboles tales como pino manso, roble, alcornoque, fresno, sauce.......para rejuvenecer y diversificar un bosque tan antiguo.

Es un LIC (Lugar de Interés Comunitario)

  

La Praia de Moledo, unida a la Praia de Camarido o Praia da Foz do Minho, un arenal con bandera azul comunitaria muy expuesto a vientos y oleajes atlánticos, de una enorme belleza salvaje.....estupenda para practicar surf y windsurf.

  

La Capela de Santo Antão en el monte que domina Caminha, estribaciones de la Serra de Arga, con un mirador increible sobre toda la desembocadura del Río Miño.

Resaltar que este monte ha ardido completamente este verano, da mucha tristeza verlo asi........

A poetic interplay of blazing red maple contrasted with the deep green woodland, a rather rare combination. The color intensified under a thinly-veiled sun for just a fleeting moment, allowing a perfect exposure to showcase the color depth of foliage. No HDR or saturation adjustment were needed.

One of my many attempts to photograph the ubiquitous Buachaille Etive Mor; no doubt that this is the most photographed mountain in Scotland! We were very lucky with the stunning sunset, but again there are quality issues due to low light, and again I was really wishing for a DSLR! Soon... Thank you all for all of your faves, comments and constructive criticism - feedback really helps and is really appreciated!

The Niederwalddenkmal is a monument located in the Niederwald Landscape park, near Rüdesheim am Rhein in Hesse, Germany. (Additional photos see in my comment.)

The monument was constructed to commemorate the foundation of the German Empire after the end of Franco-Prussian War. The first stone was laid on September 16, 1871, by Wilhelm I. The sculptor was Johannes Schilling, and the architect was Karl Weisbach. The total cost of the work is estimated at one million gold marks. It was inaugurated on September 28, 1883. The 38 metres (125 ft) tall monument represents the union of all Germans.

The monument's main inscription is engraved in the pedestal where the Germania statue is located: "ZUM ANDENKEN AN DIE EINMUETHIGE SIEGREICHE ERHEBUNG DES DEUTSCHEN VOLKES UND AN DIE WIEDERAUFRICHTUNG DES DEUTSCHEN REICHES 1870-1871." ("In memory of the unanimous victorious uprising of the German People and of the reinstitution of the German Empire 1870-1871"). The original idea by sculptor Johannes Schilling of the victory of the united German People was later adulterated into a more hostile interpretation against the "archenemy" France.

The Niederwald is a broad hill on the right bank of the Rhine, between that river and the Wisper, opposite Bingen am Rhein. The hill forms the southwestern apex of the Taunus range. Its summit is clothed with dense forests of oak and beech. Its southern and western sides, which descend sharply to Rüdesheim am Rhein and Assmannshausen on the Rhine, are covered with vineyards, and produce some of the finest wines of the district. The monument is located at the edge of the forest, on the crest of the hill above Rüdesheim.

Rüdesheim is a winemaking town in the Rhine Gorge and thereby part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. It lies in the Rheingau-Taunus-Kreis district in the Regierungsbezirk of Darmstadt in Hesse, Germany. It is officially known as Rüdesheim am Rhein, which distinguishes it from Rüdesheim an der Nahe.

A car arrives illuminating Vista House, the Aurora Gang of photographers (see note) strewn across the parking area, nicely balancing the street lights on the left, and showing just how bright the aurora really was. Although bright, visually I could not detect any color. Thanks to an aurora alert text from Greg-O/Gregory Pepion described by Soft Serve News as "in 20 minutes, the Geomagnetic Activity level (Kp number) will be 7 -- at STORM LEVEL! (It is On!!)" I headed out to Vista House and got my first taste of aurora. - Thanks Greg! NB17613

Esta es una de las imágenes que pudimos realizar durante el North Photo Tour en Costa Quebrada.Sirva para agradecer estos dias en tan magnífica compañía, buen rollo y predisposición de los participantes para aprender y compartir esta experiencia única en un lugar tan bello, con el apoyo didáctico de Javier Alonso Torre y Joserra Irusta, que so lo curraron de lo lindo, tambien para ellos mi agradecimiento.

 

Hoy no habrá comentario técnico de la imagen, he preferido dejaros dos RAWs de la misma (podeis verlos en los comentarios de la foto), la primera según salió de la cámara (balance de blancos en AUTO), la segunda con mi balance personal. Es increible como un simple ajuste en el raw puede reavivar una imagen y dotarla de carácter.

La imagen que os muestro tiene unos sencillos pasos de edición que creo que mejoran el resultado final, contraste, tratamiento de las altas luces, enfoque para la web...

Solo quiero avalar mi teoría de que en ciertas ocasiones la edición aporta un plus a la foto siempre que se tenga una razón para hacerlo y con un criterio.

The Marnixstraat is a street in Amsterdam, located along the western border of the Jordaan district in the center. The Marnixkade, parallel to the Marnixstraat, on the eastern bank of the Singel canal opposite the Nassaukade. The Eerste Marnixdwarsstraat above is located between Marnixstraat and Marnixkade. The street was named in 1872 to Filips van Marnix 1540 to 1598. The previous street, name was the Schans. The Canta are little red handicapped cars that are so normal in our streets, we don't even see them anymore. Just like we don't notice the Graffiti anymore. Graffiti is from the Italian word graffiato scratched. Graffiti is applied in art history to works of art produced by scratching a design into a surface. The term, graffiti, referred to the inscriptions, figure drawings, and such, found on the walls of ancient sepulchers or ruins, as in the Catacombs of Rome or at Pompeii. Use of the word has evolved to include any graphics applied to surfaces in a manner that constitutes vandalism. The Romans Classic also wrote on their walls and monuments. These were mostly political statements and announcements of gladiatorial games. It was not only the Greeks and Romans who produced graffiti: the Mayan site of Tikal in Guatemala also contains ancient examples. Viking graffiti survive in Rome. I think the graffiti above is probably not Vikings, perhaps a swedish kitchen cabinet from Ikea?

 

Photo inspired by my friend Mr. Akbar. He's a street art photographer with more than 10.000 photos. He doesn't make the graffiti himself but takes photos of it. Have a visit to his stream and just look and enjoy graffiti or hate them.

 

De Marnixstraat is een straat in Amsterdam, langs de westelijke grens van de Jordaan in stadsdeel Centrum.De Marnixkade ligt, parallel aan de Marnixstraat, op de oostelijke oever van de Singelgracht tegenover de Nassaukade. De Eerste Marnixdwarsstraat hierboven ligt tussen de Marnixstraat en de Marnixkade. De straat werd in 1872 vernoemd naar Filips van Marnix 1540-1598, heer van Sint Aldegonde. De straat, die voordien de Schans heette, werd na 1850 aangelegd op de plaats van de tussen 1820 en 1840 geslechte stadswallen. Het gedeelte van de Schans tussen Leidseplein en Frederiksplein werd in 1872 Weteringschans genoemd en het gedeelte tussen Frederiksplein en Nieuwe Vaart werd de Sarphatistraat. De Canta's zijn die vaak rode gehandicaptenwagentjes die zo normaal zijn in ons straatbeeld, dat je ze niet eens meer ziet. De Graffiti valt ons ook niet eens meer op. Het woord graffiti betekent ingekraste tekeningen en is de meervoudsvorm van het Italiaanse woord graffito, verwant aan graffio schram. Graffiti zijn van alle tijden. Er is zelfs een spreekwoord over: gekken en dwazen schrijven hun namen op muren en glazen. Het volk van de Vandalen was bekend om zijn graffiti. De Romeinen uit de klassieke oudheid schreven ook op hun muren en monumenten. Dit waren vooral politieke uitspraken en aankondigingen van gladiatorenspelen, bijvoorbeeld in Pompei. In Rome zijn er graffiti gevonden die de Vikingen daar hebben aangebracht. De Cro-magnonmens maakten tekeningen in rotsen. Ook de Egyptenaren stonden bekend om hun graffiti, de hiërogliefen. De graffiti hierboven is waarschijnlijk niet van Vikingen, misschien een zweeds kastje van Ikea?

I take a break ...

The clouds cleared out just in time for this long-exposure nightscape image taken during one of my night photography workshops in Arches National Park. And with no moonlight, just a little reflected light pollution from the little town of Moab, Utah, the lighting was amazing! So with swirling milky way skies over the Three Gossips (on the left), we set up for a some great long-exposure images...

"The Old Mill was the watermill of Hobbiton, owned and run by the Sandyman Family. The Old Mill was a corn mill powered by a large water wheel. It lay directly adjacent to the bridge across the Water and next to the Old Grange as well."

 

This is the water mill that can be seen in the Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring when Gandalf arrives in Hobbiton for Bilbo's birthday and crosses the bridge. I hope you will enjoy it, I apologize in advance for the photo, I didn't managed, unfortunately, to capture the water.

The Burg Gutenfels (also known as castle Kaub) is a castle 110m above the town of Kaub in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It was build in 1220. It was used with Pfalzgrafenstein Castle in the middle of the Rhein and the fortified city of Kaub on the far side to provide an impenetrable toll zone for the Holy Roman Emperor until Prussia purchased the area (1866) and ended this toll in 1867. The Castle is in part of the Rhine Gorge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site added in 2002.

Kaub (old spelling: Caub) is a town in Germany, state Rhineland-Palatinate, district Rhein-Lahn-Kreis. It is part of the municipality (Verbandsgemeinde) Loreley. It is located on the right bank of the Rhine, approx. 50 km west from Wiesbaden.

It has a Roman Catholic and an Evangelical church, and a statue of General Blücher. The trade mainly consists of the wines of the district. (Wikipedia)

The Grand Canal (Italian: Canal Grande, Venetian: Canałasso) is a canal in Venice, Italy. It forms one of the major water-traffic corridors in the city. Public transport is provided by water buses (Italian: vaporetti) and private water taxis, and many tourists explore the canal by gondola. At one end, the canal leads into the lagoon near the Santa Lucia railway station and the other end leads into Saint Mark Basin; in between, it makes a large reverse-S shape through the central districts (sestieri) of Venice. It is 3,800 m long, 30–90 m wide, with an average depth of five meters (16.5 ft).

 

Because most of the city's traffic goes along the Canal rather than across it, only one bridge crossed the canal until the 19th century, the Rialto Bridge. There are currently three more bridges, the Ponte degli Scalzi, the Ponte dell'Accademia, and the recent, controversial Ponte della Costituzione, designed by Santiago Calatrava, connecting the train station to Piazzale Roma, one of the few places in Venice where buses and cars can enter. As was usual in the past, people can still take a ferry ride across the canal at several points by standing up on the deck of a simple gondola called a traghetto, although this service is less common than even a decade ago. Most of the palaces emerge from water without pavement. Consequently, one can only tour past the fronts of the buildings on the grand canal by boat.

The Ca' da Mosto is a thirteenth-century palace in Venice, northern Italy, the oldest building on the Grand Canal. It is in the Veneto-Byzantine style, with high narrow arches and distinctive capitals. The features of the palace show its beginnings as a casa-fondaco, the home and workplace of its original merchant owner. A second floor was added at the beginning of the sixteenth century, and a third in the nineteenth. The palace takes its name from the Venetian explorer Alvise da Ca' da Mosto, who was born in the palace in 1432. It stayed in the da Mosto family until 1603, when Chiara da Mosto left her entire estate to Leonardo Donà dalle Rose, a nephew of her second husband, rather than her da Mosto relatives, with whom she had fallen out. Between the 16th and the 18th centuries the Ca' da Mosto housed the well-known Albergo Leon Bianco (the White Lion Hotel). In 1769 and 1775 the Holy Roman Emperor and son of Maria Theresa, Joseph II, lived here during his stay in Venice.

The Chiesa dei Santi Apostoli di Cristo (English: Church of the Holy Apostles of Christ), commonly called San Apostoli, is a 7th-century Roman Catholic church located in the Cannaregio sestiere of the Italian city of Venice. It is one of the oldest churches in the city and has undergone numerous changes since its foundation. The present building is the result of a major reconstruction project which was undertaken in 1575. The church is notable particularly for the Cornaro Chapel, an important example of Early Renaissance architecture, added by Mauro Codussi during the 1490s. The chapel is the burial place of several members of the powerful Cornaro family, including Catherine Cornaro, Queen of Cyprus. The church houses several works of art including pieces by Giambattista Tiepolo and Paolo Veronese.

Palazzo dei Camerlenghi is a Renaissance palace in Venice, northern Italy, located in the sestiere (quarter) of San Polo. It faces the Canal Grande, near the Rialto Bridge. The palace was built from 1525 to 1528 under design by Guglielmo dei Grigi, who was inspired by the style of Mauro Codussi and Pietro Lombardo. It was the seat of several financial magistrates, including the Camerlenghi whom it takes its name from, the Consuls of the Traders and the Supra-Consuls of the Traders. Due to this function, the lower floor was used as a jail for the insolvents: the location nearby the crowded Rialto Bridge served as an admonition for the people passing there. The palace currently houses the regional seat of the Italian Comptroller and Auditor General. The palace has a pentagonal plan which follows the shore of the Canal Grande, with three floors. It has tall windows with centrings, divided by false columns and decorated with friezes. There were once polyhcrome marble and porphyry slabs, now lost. Due to the Venetian tradition that, when leaving the position, a magistrate would leave a religious-themed painting and a portrait in his former seat, the Palazzo dei Camerlenghi housed numerous artworks. These were dispersed during the French occupation; some returned to Venice, but are now in other locations.

A cloud is a visible mass of liquid droplets or frozen crystals made of water or various chemicals suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of a planetary body. These suspended particles are also known as aerosols. Clouds in Earth's atmosphere are studied in the cloud physics branch of meteorology. Two processes, possibly acting together, can lead to air becoming saturated; cooling the air or adding water vapor to the air. In general, precipitation will fall to the surface; an exception is virga, which evaporates before reaching the surface.

 

The international cloud classification system is based on the fact clouds can show free-convective upward growth like cumulus, appear in non-convective layered sheets such as stratus, or take the form of thin fibrous wisps, as in the case of cirrus. Prefixes are used in connection with clouds: strato- for low clouds with limited convection that form mostly in layers, nimbo- for thick layered clouds that can produce moderate to heavy precipitation, alto- for middle clouds, and cirro- for high clouds.

 

While a majority of clouds form in Earth's troposphere, there are occasions when clouds in the stratosphere and mesosphere can be observed. These three main layers of the atmosphere where clouds may be seen are collectively known as the homosphere. Above this lies the thermosphere and exosphere, which together make up the heterosphere that marks the transition to outer space. Clouds have been observed on other planets and moons within the Solar System, but, due to their different temperature characteristics, they are composed of other substances such as methane, ammonia, and sulfuric acid.
