This dragonfly was seen this autumn at Lake Lotus Park in Altamonte Springs, Florida, USA. I like its blue - green eyes.
These vertical crops show a lot more detail in large size.

Happy 57th Birthday, Malaysia!
Please enjoy another aerial view of the metropolis that we know as Kuala Lumpur!
In the lower right of the image, you can see the curvature of the River Klang. A major highway flanks both sides of the Klang, where it will eventually meet its tributary, the River Gombak. The meeting of these two rivers is the foundation that gives Kuala Lumpur its name (“Muddy Confluence” in English).
I wish I had had more time to explore, but the memories and experiences were and continue to be unforgettable. In my most recent blog entry, I describe my encounter with the Malaysian military and the full experience of my aerial photography flight with the pilot who initially refused to land the plane upon my request. If you’re interested, the article is called, “A (Somewhat) Comedic Conflict of Cultures above Kuala Lumpur”.
Silakan! Jumpa lagi! / Enjoy! See you soon!

L'acropoli è un termine (derivato dal greco ἄκρος "akros", alto, πὸλις "polis", città) che originariamente indicava la parte più alta della polis greca. Estendendone il significato, può essere chiamata "acropoli" la parte più eminente e fortificata di un'antica città.
Nella Grecia antica indicava quella parte della città che veniva costruita per ragioni difensive sulla sommità di un'altura e spesso cinta da mura. Iniziata a diffondersi nell'età del bronzo, la "parte alta" delle città greche, come Atene, in età micenea era il luogo di residenza del re, ma col tempo divenne il centro religioso dell'abitato, sede di templi e luoghi di riunione.

Industrial bin after loading with building rubble hanging at chains seen against deep blue clear sky
On my way home from work I saw this container hanging at a construction crane in the air. I already wanted to leave the construction area behind me. Then I turned round and went back, thought this might be a nice shot ;-).
---------------------------------------------
I'm still here but I have not so much time to upload. Hope you are all well. Wish you all a nice weekend and a happy summer :) !
By the way ... one week ago I reached 15 Mio views ... many thanks to all my visitors and flickr friends!!

Oh, baby, every day and every night,
Well I said everything's gonna be alright.

A cidade de Malmo, devastada por um passado industrial, é hoje conhecida por a sua universidade e os seus prédios verdes. Malmo foi uma das primeiras e mais industrializadas cidades da Escandinávia, mas teve de fazer um enorme esforça para se adaptar ao pós-industrialismo. Desde a construção da ponte de Oresund, Malmo sofreu uma grande transformação com a evolução arquitetónica, atraindo nova biotecnologia e empresas de topo e particularmente, alunos de todo o mundo para a Universidade de Malmo, fundada em 1998. A cidade tem muitos edifícios históricos e belíssimos parques naturais que fazem dela uma cidade verde e bastante atrativa para se viver.
Como é belo o entardecer na cidade de Malmo, um entardecer que na maioria das vezes nos passa completamente ao lado, tal é a nossa ânsia de viver, um momento que deveria ser vivido com a mesma intensidade com que se vivem as grandes ocasiões da nossa vida. O pôr-do-sol é normalmente mais brilhante do que o nascer do sol, pois a matiz do vermelho e laranja são mais intensas e vibrantes. A atmosfera responde de diversas formas à exposição da luz solar, em particular, no final do dia, pois a atmosfera tende a reter uma quantidade maior de partículas em suspensão do que no início do dia. Durante o dia, o sol aquece a superfície terrestre, diminuindo assim a humidade do ar e aumentando a velocidade e a turbulência dos ventos, o que acaba por levantar a poeira para o ar. Contudo, as diferenças entre o nascer do sol e o pôr-do-sol, em alguns casos, também dependem das peculiaridades geográficas do local de onde o evento está a ser observado.
Aqui em Malmo, o entardecer de repente tornou-se diferente, mais belo e chamativo que o habitual, mais mágico e encantador, mais atrativo luminoso e delicado, talvez por ter sido o pôr-do-sol mais a norte da Europa que tenhamos presenciado. Diz a ciência que a luz do Sol sofre um desvio gerado pela atmosfera, por isso, o sol ainda pode ser visto depois de já estar atrás do horizonte físico. Este efeito também se manifesta durante o nascer do sol. Outra curiosidade gerada pela distorção da luz solar pela atmosfera é que o sol também aparenta ser maior no horizonte, uma ilusão de ótica similar a que ocorre com a Lua.

Kinvara is situated in South County Galway, Ireland, just on the edge of the world renowned "Burren" on Galway Bay. Often described in tourist guides and other publications as a "Picturesque Seaside Village", this is a description that not many will argue with. I'm sure you will agree!

"... A los moros entablados
ya los vendió en el remate,
porque era un disparate
también tenerlos parados.
Los viajes se han cortado,
las tropas están escasas
por eso su tiempo pasa
donde se fue aventajando
cuarenta años tropiando
pa Ferrante y a Pablaza ..."

Returning from Galway me and my cousin SJ seen this amazing sunset and raced my motor home as fast as we could go. Running out of location options we finally reached this amazing little spot just in the nick of time. I just managed to capture the sun right on the horizon just seconds before it vanished for another day...

Anhingas are really stunning birds in their spring breeding plumage.
Anhinga is also known as Snake Bird and Water Turkey.

Incorporating many elements into a wide angle shot could be even more challenging than the use of a telephoto lens to isolate one element in abstract, because it is hard to crop out unwanted item, but it could be extremely satisfying if done successfully. The context it provides to the scene brings back fond memory of the original experience and allows one to discover after.
Can anyone help me explain the purpose of those fences ? They were kind of in the way at first when I tried to find a good spot to shoot at the scene. But looking back, the fantastic interest and perspective it offered is priceless.

The Sea Arch Stack, Crohy Head, Dungloe, County Donegal, Ireland
I didn’t even realise that this wonderful natural formation even existed until recently. I was in the western coast of Ireland when I found out and located this barely known arch stack!
It is located on a small peninsula called Crohy Head. Very difficult to climb down too and you even have to use a rope that is attached to some rocks on the cliff face! Amazing location with this very unique sea arch

Yellow-rumped Warblers are abundant in Florida during the winter. Their basic / non-breeding plumage is relatively drab but we have a brief period of time in early spring when they are molting into their alternate / breeding colors. This was taken last April in my yard.

No último sábado (21/04/14), alcancei a incrível marca de 500.000 visitas no Flickr! Meio milhão!!! Isso me fez rever toda minha trajetória de aprendizado, e estou muito feliz e grato com tudo que tem acontecido! Comecei a clicar com câmeras compactas, apaixonado pelo ilimitado mundo da fotografia. Com o tempo, fui ampliando meus próprios limites e os limites das coisas com as quais trabalhava. Ampliei meus horizontes e hoje estou aqui, ainda com infinitas coisas a aprender...
Hoje vivemos em um tempo onde a fotografia popular é dominada pela tecnologia e seus megapixels, mas, como manter a paixão, a sensibilidade perante toda a robotização massificada que nos permeia? Como todos deveríamos saber, o mais difícil de ser adquirido é tudo aquilo que o dinheiro não pode comprar... É necessária muita dedicação, sensibilidade e responsabilidade quando se pretende registrar obras divinas, lugares e pessoas em segundos únicos e irreplicáveis. Cada instante congelado é uma máquina do tempo, uma lembrança de algo que nunca mais irá se repetir, não importa o que aconteça, cada segundo é único nos bilhões de anos do universo, e a fotografia é - para além disso -, uma forma de rever velhos átomos, de fazer memoráveis átimos voltarem à vida! Sou, a cada dia, mais apaixonado pelo que faço!
E você, em que está sua paixão? O que dá sentido a sua vida e faz tudo valer a pena?

In last Saturday (04/12/14), reached a awesome staggering of 500.000 hits on Flickr! Half a million!!! It made me revise my entire career learning, and I am very happy and grateful for everything that has happened! I started clicking with compact cameras, passionate with unlimited world of photography. Over time, I expanded my own limits and the limits of things that worked. Widened my horizons and I am here today, even with endless things to learn...
Today we live in a time where popular photography is dominated by technology and its megapixels, but, how to keep the passion, the sensitivity before all the massive robotization that permeates us? As we all should know, the most difficult to acquire is everything that money cannot buy... Are necessary a lot of dedication, sensitivity and responsibility when it intends to register divine works, places and people in unique and unrepeatable seconds. Each frozen instant is a time machine, a memory of something that will never be repeated , no matter what happens, every second is unique in the billions of years of universe, and the photography is - moreover - a way of reviewing old atoms and make memorable moments return to live! Every day I am more passionate about what I do!
And you? What is your passion? What gives meaning to your life and makes it all worthwhile?

The Lake Achen is a lake north of Jenbach in Tyrol, Austria. It is the largest lake of Tyrol and has a maximal depth of 133 metres. Water quality is near drinking water, with sight up to 10 m below the surface. An alpine lake, water temperature is accordingly low, rarely above 20 °C. Today turquoise blue with gentle waves, another time deeply blue and stormy. The lake is the focal point of all sides of the region. The fjord-like Achensee is accessible from all sides and well-known for its beautiful public beaches in Eben and Pertisau. Pertisau here below is located on the western banks. The main landing stage for the Achensee boat trip is situated in Pertisau. Since 1887 steamboats have connected the towns of Achenkirch, Maurach and Pertisau. Windsurfer’s colourful sails and sports such as fishing, tennis, running and Nordic Walking are some of the activities. Also scuba divers will find the perfect conditions there. Around the lake there is a lot to be explored. You can take a nostalgic ride with the oldest operating steam locomotive with a sprocket track railway. Pertisau is one of the best starting points for hikes and tours in Tyrol’s largest nature park, the Karwendel Alpine Park. Karwendel cable car takes you to the Zwölferkopf area. The area extends from 591 to 2749 metres altitude. Its surface area is made up of protected areas, landscape conservation areas and sanctuaries which are protected under the Tyrolean Nature Conservation Act. Hikers can roam through pristine valleys for hours on end with chamois and ibex; observe marmots, deer and hares, while birds of prey such as buzzards, glide through the air.
Our path started through woodland, and when we first came to a place with a viewpoint, it was wonderful to see how the view had opened up. But then it just got better and better as we kept on climbing, with every view more lovely than the last, so I kept on taking more and more photos! Once we reached the top, we could see right over the Achensee valley and the lake – it was really inspiring, and we spent a long time gazing before continuing our walk down through another valley. We had our lunch at the Bärenbad Alm restaurant - 1.457m. We particularly appreciated this mountain restaurant halfway our hiking.
Het Achenmeer is grootste meer in Tirol. Het meer ligt dertig kilometer ten noordoosten van Innsbruck, ten noorden van Jenbach dat in het Unterinntal ligt. Het meer, gelegen op een hoogte van 929 meter, heeft een oppervlakte van 6,8 km², bij een lengte van negen kilometer en een breedte van één kilometer. Op het diepste punt is het meer 133 meter diep, water temperatuur is derhalve laag, zelden boven de 20 ° C. Vandaag is het meer turquoise blauw met rustige golven, een andere keer diep blauw en stormachtig. Het water van is van uitstekende kwaliteit en is een ideale bestemming voor zeilers, surfers en kite-surfers, maar ook voor duikers en zwemmers. Het lieflijke plaatsje Pertisau met zijn rond 600 inwoners ligt aan het Achenmeer midden in een uniek landschap op de aangename hoogte van 1000m: geschapen voor de ontspanning van lijf en ziel. Maakt een tocht met de Achensee-stoomboot of kies voor een rit over de Achenseebahn met één van de laatste stoomtreinen. Rondom de Achensee ligt ongeveer 500 km aan wandelpaden, uiteenlopend van vlakke wegen voor gezinnen tot steile bergpaadjes, waaronder drie etappes van de bekendste lange-afstandswandelroute van Tirol: de Adelaarsweg. De Rofanseilbahn en de Karwendel-Bergbahnen brengen je comfortabel en snel naar de top. Op de wandelkaarten van Pertisau am Achensee staan verschillende wandelroutes. Van vlakke routes rond het meer tot tochten door de bergen waar flink bij geklommen moet worden. De wandelpaadjes kronkelen door het Karwendel- en Rofangebergte. Onderweg worden steeds weer prachtige uitzichten op de Achensee geboden.
