Oh, I'm so excited to post you this 'cause I think this is my favorite piece so far. Yesterday came into my mind that we incidentally have a loft... a really big one actually. My dad helped to get up there... it was gorgeous - but really dusty, I have to admit. I spent 1,5 hour up there and when I came down in the light, I looked so awful that even I was afraid of myself. Anyway, I'm really content with this and hope you'll like it too. Reminds me of one of my first shots... this one.

The Aiguille du Midi (3,842 m) is a mountain in the Mont Blanc massif in the French Alps.
The cable car to the summit, the Téléphérique de l'Aiguille du Midi, was built in 1955 and held the title of the world's highest cable car for about two decades. It still holds the record as the highest vertical ascent cable car in the world, from 1,035 m to 3,842 m. There are two sections: from Chamonix to Plan de l'Aiguille at 2,317 m and then directly, without any support pillar, to the upper station at 3,777 m (the building contains an elevator to the summit). The span of the second section is 2,867 m measured directly, but only 2,500 m measured horizontally. Thus it remains the second longest span width, measured directly. The tramway travels from Chamonix to the top of the Aiguille du Midi – an altitude gain of over 2,800 m – in 20 minutes. An adult ticket from Chamonix (as of 9/5/2012 to 30/11/2012) is €52.20 return.
The Aiguille summit contains a panoramic viewing platform, a cafe and a gift shop. The Vallée Blanche ski run begins here, and the nearby Cosmiques Refuge is the starting point for one of the routes to the Mont Blanc summit. From the Aiguille another cable car (summer months only), the Vallee Blanche Aerial Tramway crosses the Glacier du Geant to Pointe Helbronner (3,462 m) at the Italian side of the Mont Blanc Massif. Pointe Helbronner is served with a cable car from La Palud, a village near Courmayeur in the Aosta Valley (Italy).

Check here for the same view in a morning light!
The pass where I stood for taking this photo (col des Grangettes), 2684m, can be accessed from both sides. When you reach this pass, coming from the other side (see here the view from the other side), and that you suddently discover this wonderful scenery, it is a big shock! I did this hike several times, it is among my favorite ones...
[Explored #17] Many thanks for your visits, comments and faves! :-))

Fall migrants and post-breeding dispersal birds start moving through Central Florida in June, although peak songbird migration isn't until late September. I found this Prairie Warbler flycatching in my yard this summer. It would fly out into a pack of small flies, nab one and return to the same branch. It did this repeatedly for about five minutes, which made for some nice photo opportunities.

Almost got busted for this one.
This was not too far off of a public biking trail. It took awhile to find a good spot at this dried-up slough, but luckily my buddy Steve came with me and we were able to cover extra ground. After trying out several compositions, what looked like a police officer and a ranger (maybe they were just security?) came hiking out to where we were. They asked for our IDs; like an idiot, I left mine in the car. They wanted to know what we were doing out there and if we knew where we were.
It seemed like their biggest concern was that we were not photographing the buildings nearby, which makes sense since a military base (Moffett Field), NASA Ames Research Center, and Lockhead Martin (not to mention Google) are nearby.
Although the police officer insisted on looking at the pictures that I took, he was a pretty nice guy. I was so nervous about being questioned, that I couldn't figure out how to show him the pictures I had taken. Turned out the button on my wired remote was still depressed (duh!), so the camera wouldn't allow me to do anything and it just...kept...on...taking...pictures...
gahhhhhh!!
The other guy, grumbled into his walkie-talkie (with a touch of exasperation), "they're just taking pictures..."
The one time Steve got the wife's permission to come out and this happens...too funny...
The 2012 Celebration of Lights festival concludes with a dynamic finale in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. This year’s competitors for putting on a fireworks spectacular were Brazil, Vietnam, and Italy. This photo features Italy’s display on August 4th. This annual event typically attracts anywhere between 300,000 and 400,000 spectators.
Taken from Cypress Mountain, one can see the silhouette of Stanley Park in the foreground with English Bay surrounding it to the right. Several boats are dotted in the bay, well within distance of the barge from which the fireworks were launched. Above Stanley Park is Vancouver’s West End neighborhood.
According to the official website (hondacelebrationoflight.com):
The Celebration of Light is not only Vancouver's biggest event, but it's also the largest offshore fireworks competition in the world and attracts up to 400,000 spectators along English Bay each evening. Owned by the Not For Profit Vancouver Fireworks Festival Society, 2012 marks the 22nd consecutive year of the event, which contributes in excess of $39 million in incremental tourism and hospitality spending each year.
The 2012 event will see three new and unique countries competing over three nights on July 28th with Vietnam competing in its first international competition outside its home country, August 1st with Brazil and August 4th with Italy vying for the coveted winning title.

If you are so inclined and of course, have the time, I find, viewing this series is best Full Screen on Black ("L" on keyboard, F11)...and with a snippet of the music, even better! Cheers!
My musical suggestion is: 'Northern Lights ' - Lux.
As I went through this set of photos from the trip I took to Davenport, CA last week, I was amazed by how quickly the light changes around sunset. This shot was taken only 14 minutes before the shot I've linked in comments. I have a bunch of good shots on that outing, so you can expect to see more from this beautiful spot.

Well it is absolutely awesome to be able to have the time to post my images on Flickr. I have been away for too long to care but I'm not completely out (yet).
A shot from my recent travels to places far and wide.. from some of the most amazing landscapes that I was fortunate to visit, experience and capture.
This scene of the double-humped camels from the cold desert in the Nubra valley in Ladakh, which is up North of India in the state of Kashmir reminds of the how the silk route traders used to traverse the very location many hundred years ago. It was fascinating.
I had absolutely the most amazing time during this trip. Hope you guys have all been good.
I'll catchup with you guys very soon.

I've fallen far too hard and far too fast. It's frightening.
I'm quite proud of this, actually. This is the first sunset picture that i've actually managed to expose properly. I love this field, but I did have to climb through a hedge full of nettles and thorns to get in to it, bad idea, my legs really hurt now.
But the last few days have been lovely, full of sunbathing and picnics by the river and laughing.

Get Pushed: For R24 I got paired with www.flickr.com/photos/edsonmatthews . Here is the push he gave me:
"I notice you have a lot of really organic, free-flowing stuff. So, here's what I want you to do. I want you to find a place for a really excellent symmetry shot. Focus on getting those lines really perfect across the frame. If you're up for an extra challenge, see if you can work in--in a delicate way--one of those organic elements as a nice piece of minimalism among all that structure. I look forward to seeing what you'll produce."
This river runs next to my apartment in Beijing. I thought it would be a good place to try. It's probably less symmetrical and more organic than he (or to be honest I) intended. But I'm pleased with the result - it's a shot I probably wouldn't have taken without the push.
This is from Sunday Streets San Francisco a few weeks ago. It was taken in The Mission district, much of which was converted into a pedestrian mall for the day a few Sundays ago. Yep, they block off all the streets to motorized traffic and people get freely walk, skate and bike around the neighborhood. It was really fun, and there were lots of kids, teens, couples and families out enjoying the event.
Full album on Facebook (link).
On one of the side streets off 24th, I noticed a bunch of restored vintage cars out. I didn't have much time to stroll around, so I didn't get a chance to talk to the owner of this car or to do much of anything except quickly snap a few frames. It's a Chevy, but I wish I knew what model and year it is. Maybe someone will know. I assume that tubular thing that looks like a jet engine on the passenger side is some kind of heating or cooling unit, but I'm not sure.
I hope everyone has a great Monday and an altogether fantastic week!

In the south east of Iceland there is a place called Jökulsárlón, the glacier lagoon. Ice blocks break off from the glacier and float in the lagoon. As the lagoon is connecte to the ocean, the ice blocks are being carried to the sea through a small but strong stream.
So the coastline along this area provides a very special view as most of these ice blocks strand on the beach.
With the midnight sun, a full moon and a nice sky we really had a beautiful scenery that night.
Better viewed with black background *L*

I could write nice descriptions about buildings like the Chrysler Building and the Empire State Building, seen here from Top of the Rock atop the GE Building, but everyone is probably familiar with these famous landmarks. What about those other buildings?
The Fred F. French Building is a 38-story skyscraper on the northeast corner of 45th Street at 551 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, New York City. Current tenants include ABM Industries and Richland Equity Resources Corp. DBA The Richland Group. It was erected in 1927 with a striking art deco facade contributing significantly to the international reputation of Fifth Avenue. The building measures approximately 430,000 rentable square feet and is currently owned by The Feil Organization. It is used primarily as an office building and also houses classrooms of Pace University. The building is one of the better known projects of the real estate developer Frederick Fillmore French. The lead architects were H. Douglas Ives and Sloan & Robertston. The National Register of Historic Places listed the building in January 2004.

10 East 40th Street or the Mercantile Building is a skyscraper located in the Murray Hill section of New York City, between Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue, taking the width of the block between 39th and 40th streets. Designed by Ludlow & Peabody and built by Jesse H. Jones, it was finished in 1929 and is considered part of the art deco school of architecture. When it was built, it was the fourth-tallest tower in the world. It was previously known as the Chase Tower, after its first tenant, Chase Brass & Copper. Its owner until his death in 1938 was Frederick William Vanderbilt. On November 14, 2007, the building became the final site to be removed from Thomas Edison's original direct current grid in New York City. Today, some refer to the building as "the Napa Building", a reference to its long-time tenant Napa Group, Inc.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercantile Building
The Chanin Building is a brick and terra-cotta skyscraper located at 122 East 42nd Street, at the corner of Lexington Avenue, in Manhattan. Built by Irwin S. Chanin in 1929, it is 56 stories high, reaching 197.8 metres (649 ft) excluding the spire and 207.3 metres (680 ft) including it. It was designed by Sloan & Robertson in the Art Deco style, with the assistance of Chanin's own architect Jacques Delamarre, and it incorporates architectural sculpture by Rene Paul Chambellan. The tower rises 22 stories and then thins into a series of setbacks, reaching a total of 56 floors. When originally completed, the 50th floor had a silver-and-black high-brow movie theater. This floor and the 51st are now offices joined by a stairwell instead. Initially a dominant landmark in the midtown skyline, the building had an open-air observatory on the 54th floor. Having been surpassed in height by a number of buildings, most notably the Chrysler Building located across the street, the observatory has been long closed.

The Lincoln Building (now known as One Grand Central Place) is an office building located at 60 East 42nd Street in New York City, opposite Grand Central Terminal. It was completed in 1930. The architect was James Edwin Ruthven Carpenter, Jr. It is 673 feet (205 meters) tall with 53 stories and built in neo-gothic style. Although dwarfed by other buildings in the area, notably the Chrysler Building and MetLife Building, the Lincoln has a number of interesting features, including gothic windows at the top, the lobby, and the bronze model by Daniel Chester French of Abraham Lincoln for the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. (after renaming of the building in 2009, the model was removed). It is currently tied with the Barclay Tower for the 49th tallest building in New York City.

500 Fifth Avenue is a 60-floor, 697-foot (212 m) art deco office tower in Manhattan, New York City, standing at West 42nd Street. Built by Walter J. Salmon, Sr., it is adjacent to Bryant Park and is next door to the Salmon Tower Building, also built by Salmon, Sr. Like the Empire State Building, it was completed in 1931 and designed by Shreve Lamb & Harmon Associates.

The MetLife Building, originally called the Pan Am Building, is a skyscraper located at 200 Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. It is a recognizable part of the Manhattan skyline and one of the fifty tallest buildings in the United States. When it opened on March 7, 1963 the Pan Am Building (as it was known at the time) was the largest commercial office space in the world. It faced huge initial unpopularity, being described as an "ugly behemoth", due to its lack of proportion and huge scale—it dwarfed the New York Central Building to the north and the Grand Central Terminal to the south. The last tall tower erected in New York City before laws were enacted preventing corporate logos and names on the tops of buildings, it bore 15' tall "Pan Am" displays on its north and south faces and 25' tall globe logos east and west. Pan Am originally occupied 15 floors of the building. It remained Pan Am's headquarters even after Metropolitan Life Insurance Company bought the building in 1981. By 1991 Pan Am's presence had dwindled to four floors; during that year Pan Am moved its headquarters to Miami. Designed by Emery Roth & Sons with the assistance of Walter Gropius and Pietro Belluschi, the Pan Am Building is an example of an International style skyscraper. It is purely commercial in design with large floors, simple massing, with an absence of ornamentation inside and out. It has been popular with tenants, not least because of its location next to Grand Central Terminal. In 1987, the lifestyle periodical New York revealed in a poll that MetLife—then Pan Am—was the building that New Yorkers would most like to see demolished. Perhaps contributing to the hatred of the building is the fact that it is so visible. Situated behind Grand Central Terminal outside of the grid, the building, which would have otherwise been tucked away into the city, is left totally exposed and contrasted with the other buildings around it, most notably the New York Central Building, which is now called the Helmsley Building. Today the building is one of the most recognizable skyscrapers in the City.

The Sperry & Hutchinson Building is the home of S&H Green Stamps. The Kahn & Jacobs building dates to 1964; replaced the Manhattan Hotel as well as the National City Bank. The Manhattan Hotel was where Sigmund Freud stayed in August 1909 on his only visit to the United States. In May 1916, Sen. Warren G. Harding began his affair with Nan Britton here--a relationship that continued after Harding was elected president. A Citibank branch is now on the ground floor.

This building (HSBC Tower) is amongst the most expensive, on a per-foot basis, in the city's history. The building was originally planned as part of a project consisting of two identical towers facing one another on either side of the avenue to create a major gateway to lower Fifth Avenue. The building incorporates the new tower to three pre-existing buildings, one of which served as the original headquarters for Republic National Bank of New York.

Built in 1913 as the Biltmore Hotel, the 29-story landmark hotel was gutted down to its steel skeleton between 1981 and 1984 and rebuilt as a modern glass office tower (335 Madison Avenue). The famous Biltmore clock was retained in the building's new atrium lobby. It was known for some time as Bank of America Plaza.

The building (W.R. Grace Building) was designed principally by Gordon Bunshaft, and completed in 1974. The building was commissioned by the W.R. Grace Company, and was also used by the Deloitte & Touche, LLP, formerly Deloitte Haskins & Sells. The building is located at 1114 Avenue of the Americas (also known as Sixth Avenue), but the main entrance is on 42nd Street, between 5th and 6th. It overlooks Bryant Park and the New York Public Library. The building size is approximately 1,518,000 rentable square feet, and sits on a site approximately 100 x 442 feet (67,875 square feet). The ownership is currently Brookfield Financial Properties, LP. The exterior of the building is covered in white travertine, which forms a contrast against the black windows and makes the building appear brighter than those surrounding it.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W.R. Grace Building
Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, 300 Madison Avenue is located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, one block west of Grand Central Terminal. An elevated, spacious lobby features a striking eight-story glass atrium ascending above the building's main entrance at the corner of 42nd Street and Madison Avenue. The building also features an auditorium and dining facilities on the expansive lower levels, and is home to PricewaterhouseCoopers and The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.

505 Fifth Avenue, a new office tower in Manhattan, New York, USA, was occupied in the first quarter of 2006. Construction of the tower began in 2004 and was completed late in 2005. The Kipp-Stawski Group was the developer for the project and Kohn Pederson Fox Associates (KPF) was the official architect. During the planning stage, designers focused particularly on the views from the building. The columns were kept away from the perimeter of the tower and the main façade was designed to provide undisturbed viewing from the building. A higher quality of concrete was used to reduce the column sizes of the towers and increase office space.

The Setai, or 400 Fifth Avenue, is a hotel and skyscraper located in New York City. Constructed in 2010, it is 631 feet (192 meters) tall, with 57 stories. It is the 64th tallest building in New York City. The tower is located at 400 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. The building has a secondary purpose as a residential condominium. 400 Fifth Avenue was constructed using limestone in the 11-floor base in a somewhat art deco style. Floors five through 27 contain a 214-room hotel, and floors 28 through 56 are residential condominiums.

My son David and I took a hike to the Blüemlisalp mountain hut on 2'834 meters above sea level. We stayed overnight at the hut and enjoyed a splendid view onto the surrounding summits as well as a fantastic 3-course meal.
I'm gonna post a couple of pics of this experience the next days...
My backpack was already too heavy, so I decided to let my Canon gear at home and pack up my cheap Samsung ST-65 and of course my iPhone 4S instead...afterwards, I regret it a bit...so please excuse the poor picture quality and the image noise...
______________________________________________________________________________
The Blüemlisalphütte is a mountain hut of the Swiss Alpine Club SAC in the canton of Bern in Switzerland.
It lies a few meters above the Hohtürli pass, a crossing between Kandersteg and the Kien Valley, north of the Blüemlisalp glacier at an altitude of 2'834 m above sea level.
Access is from Oeschinensee (4 h, 1,200 meters) or from the Griesalp in Kiental (about 5.5 h, 1,400 meters).

Pontes Colombo Sales e Pedro Ivo Campos
A ponte Pedro Ivo Campos é uma das três pontes que ligam a Ilha de Santa Catarina ao continente, localizada em Florianópolis, a capital do estado de Santa Catarina, tendo sido a última ser construída.
É uma ponte com estrutura de ferro, mas com desenho igual ao de sua predecessora de concreto, a ponte Colombo Sales.
Assim como as demais pontes da cidade, seu nome é uma homenagem a um governador, Pedro Ivo Campos, falecido durante o mandato (em 27 de fevereiro de 1990), antes da inauguração da ponte. Possui quatro pistas no sentido ilha.
A ponte Colombo Salles é uma das três pontes do complexo que liga a Ilha de Santa Catarina ao continente, e a segunda a ser construída. Faz a ligação entre as duas partes de Florianópolis, capital do estado de Santa Catarina.
Seu nome é uma homenagem ao governador, o engenheiro Colombo Machado Salles, por decisão da Assembléia Legislativa de Santa Catarina.
The longest slide! I've worked with this image before and I could treat it a thousand ways and be happy with most. I started with the building and Fireworks, added a little yellow/gray image mix and then the NYC shot. That was exactly what I wanted and all it needed was a little SC. I created a B&W layer which I masked and erased most with a wide brush leaving only a little B&W around the edges, a giant SC play!
The End!! (For now!) Time for R&R but I will catch up and THank YoU!!!!
Happy Slider Sunday Complication!!! HSS

más melodioso vuela si más solo,

This shot has it all!!
Here they are taking a break from shooting to enjoy the sunrise. I've always found it vitally important to 'put the camera' down at some point during a sunrise or sunset ... so as to thoroughly 'be in the moment.'
I had so much fun dragging them out in the sweltering humidity at 3 AM. I thank them for indulging me. When you are in good company, you can endure anything ... and that includes the early hour, the heat ... and the vicious flies!!
Thanks for inviting me, for the good wine, the fabulous dinner but most of all for the good time, the laughter and the companionship!
