Stunning sunset over Lake Thun.
Taken from a boat's landing place in Merligen. The striking mountain on the left is the Niesen and in the middle you see the Stockhorn.
This is my very first shot with neutral density filters. I always admired those long exposures pics with the smooth and silky water. The result is acceptable but still in need of improvement...
Lake Thun (German: Thunersee) is an Alpine lake in the Bernese Oberland in Switzerland. It took its name from the city of Thun, on its northern shore.
Lake Thun's approximately 2,500 km² large catchment area frequently causes local flooding after heavy rainfalls. This occurs because the river Aar (German: Aare), which drains Lake Thun, has only limited capacity to handle the excess runoff.
The lake is fed by water from Lake Brienz to the south east, which lies 6 metres higher than Lake Thun, and various streams in the Oberland, including the Kander (only since 1714). Lake Thun was created after the last ice age and was originally part of Lake Brienz. The historic combined lake is called Wendelsee by geologists and historians.
Fishing is important enough to keep a handful of professional fishers employed. In 2001 the total catch was 53,000 kg. Since 1835 passenger ships have operated on the lake. There are ten passenger ships in total, operated by the local railway company BLS Lötschbergbahn.
The Niesen is a mountain, located in the Bernese Oberland region of the Swiss Alps, overlooking Lake Thun and is often called the Swiss Pyramid.
The summit of the mountain (2362 metres) can be reached easily with a funicular from Mülenen (near Reichenbach). The construction of the Niesenbahn funicular was completed in 1910. Alongside the path of the Niesenbahn is the longest stairway in the world with 11,674 steps. It is open only once a year to the public for a stair run.
The Niesen was the subject of a number of paintings by Paul Klee, in which it was represented as a quasi-pyramid.
The Stockhorn is a mountain in the Bernese Alps, above the town of Erlenbach in Simmetal.
The Stockhorn is 2190 m high and is accessible via cable car and/or walking during 3 hours 30 minutes from the Oberstockensee. It has a restaurant at the top and is a good starting point for many hikes. There is good fishing in the two lakes right below the Stockhorn, the Oberstockensee(around 1650 m high and the Hinterstockensee ( around 1550 m high). There is a subterraneous water connection bettween the two lakes.
From the top you may enjoy, in a sunny day, a marvellous, unbelievable Panorama or sight with all the main summit of the Alps, the Eiger, Monk, Jungfrau, Diableretes and Mont Blanch,among them, the, the valley of the Aare river, Thun the Poral of the Alps,the Thunesee, the city of Interlaken and the Jura Region.

Las casetas de San Lorenzo son más que una imagen inexorable en la parte baja de una fotografía dominada por el mar y con la iglesia de San Pedro al fondo. Forman parte de la fisonomía de la playa desde que las generaciones pasadas y presentes tienen memoria, y si bien nacieron con la idea de constituir un pudoroso vestuario, enseguida los usuarios hicieron de ellas un verdadero club social.
Hoy constituyen, sin duda, un referente turístico, esa particularidad vistosa y multicolor que invita a los forasteros a fotografiarse con ellas y que incita su curiosidad hasta tal punto, que bajan a la arena para levantar sus faldas y descubrir qué hay dentro. Y se sorprenden de que sean simplemente unas pequeñas construcciones en lona, con un palo en el medio y cierre más que vulnerable, cuya pudorosa utilidad es, hoy día, cuanto menos, cuestionable.
Espero que sean de vuestro agrado

Amanecer de hoy mismo en el monte Cayón-Infiesto-Piloña. Fue un amanecer muy extraño ya que la niebla no dejaba salir el sol, pero al final aunque ya muy alto y con bastante fuerza (por eso el salir quemado) apareció y nos dejo esta para mi maravilla vista, aunque por momentos la niebla lo hacía desaparecer de nuevo. Creo realmente que mereció la pena el madrugón que nos metimos
Espero que sean de vuestro agrado

Description :
Oslo, Norway: The suspect in Norway's twin attacks that killed at least 92 people says he acted alone, police said Sunday, after some witness accounts said a second gunman had taken part in a mass shooting.
But police are still trying to establish whether there was "one or several" shooters at Friday's attack on a Labour Party youth meeting on Utoeya island, northwest of Oslo, police commissioner Sveinung Sponheim told journalists.
Norway suspect 'deemed killings necessary'
A suspected right-wing fanatic accused of killing at least 92 people deemed his acts "atrocious" yet "necessary" as Norway mourned victims of the nation's worst attacks since World War Two.
Police were hunting on Sunday to see if a possible second gunman took part in the shooting massacre and bomb attack on Friday that traumatised a normally peaceful Nordic country.
Anders Behring Breivik comments
In his first comment via a lawyer since he was arrested, 32-year-old Norwegian Anders Behring Breivik expressed willingness to explain himself in court at a hearing likely to be held on Monday about extending protective custody.
"He has said that he believed the actions were atrocious, but that in his head they were necessary," lawyer Geir Lippestad told independent TV2 news.
Police said Breivik gave himself up after admitting to a massacre in which at least 85 people died, mostly young people attending a summer camp of the youth wing of Norway's ruling Labour Party on an idyllic island.
Breivik was also arrested for the bombing of Oslo's government district that killed seven people hours earlier. Norway's toughest sentence is 21 years in jail. Survivors, relatives of those killed and supporters planned a procession to mourn the dead at Sundvollen on Sunday, near the island where the massacre took place.
Police defend delays
The comments from Breivik came as reports said police arrived at the island massacre about an hour and a half after he first opened fire, slowed because they didn't have quick access to a helicopter and then couldn't find a boat to make their way to the scene just several hundred yards offshore.
Survivors of the shooting spree have described hiding and fleeing into the water to escape the gunman, but a police briefing Saturday detailed for the first time how long the terror lasted - and how long victims waited for help.
Manifesto and video against multiculturalism
King Harald would attend a service in Oslo cathedral, a few hundred metres (yards) from where a bomb devastated government buildings including the offices of Labour Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg.
Breivik hated "cultural marxists", wanted a "crusade" against the spread of Islam and liked guns and weightlifting, web postings, acquaintances and officials said.
A video posted to the YouTube website showed several pictures of Breivik, including one of him in a Navy Seal type scuba diving outfit pointing an automatic weapon. "Before we can start our crusade we must do our duty by decimating cultural marxism," said a caption under the video called "Knights Templar 2083" on the YouTube website, which took down the video on Saturday.
A Norwegian website provided a link to a 1,500 page electronic manifesto which says Breivik was the author. It was not possible to verify who posted the video or wrote the book.
"Once you decide to strike, it is better to kill too many than not enough, or you risk reducing the desired ideological impact of the strike," the book said.
Norway has traditionally been open to immigration, which has been criticised by the Progress Party, of which Breivik was for a short time a member. The Labour Party, whose youth camp Breivik attacked, has long been in favour of immigration.
About 100 people stood solemnly early on Sunday at a makeshift vigil near Oslo's main church, laying flowers and lighting candles. Soldiers with guns and wearing bullet-proof vests blocked streets leading to the government district.
"We are all in sorrow, everybody is scared," said Imran Shah, a Norwegian taxi driver of Pakistani heritage, as a light summer drizzle fell on unusually empty Oslo streets.
Some terrified survivors of the shooting rampage said bullets came from at least two sides. "We are not at all certain" about whether he acted alone, police chief Sveinung Sponheim said. "That is one of the things that the investigation will concentrate on."
Witnesses
Witnesses said the gunman, wearing a police uniform, was able to shoot unchallenged for a prolonged period. He picked off his victims on Utoeya island northwest of Oslo forcing youngsters to scatter in panic or to jump into the lake to swim for the mainland.
"I heard screams. I heard people begging for their lives and I heard shots. He just blew them away," Labour Party youth member Erik Kursetgjerde, 18, told Reuters.
"I was certain I was going to die," he said. "People ran everywhere. They panicked and climbed into trees. People got trampled."
Home-grown militant
The suspect, tall and blond, owned an organic farming company called Breivik Geofarm, which a supply firm said he had used to buy fertiliser -- possibly to make the Oslo bomb.
Home-grown anti-government militants have struck elsewhere in the past, notably in the United States, where Timothy McVeigh killed 168 people with a truck bomb in Oklahoma City in 1995.
The district attacked is the heart of power in Norway. But security is not tight in a country unused to such violence and better known for awarding the Nobel Peace Prize and mediating in conflicts, including the Middle East and Sri Lanka.

In shot is the 22,000 tonne Panama registered cargo vessel 'Sv Nikolay'.
Don’t really know if you would describe this as a big ship... but I would, it did look to be large and lightly laden riding high in the water, the pooled water left by the leaving tide, left a mirrored surface for reflection, and the Ironmen looked on as to greet the ship into the river Mersey.
I quite liked the painted feel to the cloud backdrop here, I think these would have been perfect light and conditions to have seen tall ships in, oh well the less romantic bulk cargo ship will have to do.
If you want to track ships, this makes it easy, you can see where this ship is now, and what its doing...

The gardens are a fundamental part of the Alcazar. A walk in the gardens of the Alcazar is one of the most pleasant of Seville, which combine the Arab influences, Renaissance and modern. They are arranged in terraces, with green vegetation, lots of orange and palm trees, fountains, cool and calm for rest and relaxation away from the city.

The thing I'm seeking for, is LIFE. We born, we love, we die. Is this life ? To me LIFE means the most beautiful and precious gift. Life has everything if you think positively; the color, dream, smile, happiness and above all here I chose the RHYTHM.
I've found the LIFE in the earth, in the clouds, in the air and inside her.

Spray Falls is one of several waterfalls in Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. The 70' waterfall plunges over the cliffs at Pictured Rocks and lands in Lake Superior. It took my wife and I about three hours to hike to this lookout of the falls , we stopped a couple of times for a drink and to take other photos.

I love getting shots tight against bridges with a wide-angle lens. I love the lines that it gives. Although Battersea Power Station isn't as well-known as the Houses of Parliament or as architecturally beautiful as St Paul's Cathedral, it is still an iconic landmark in London (albeit South London...).
I was going through shots from my photowalk with Murphyz and I asked on Twitter which shot I should put up. Without hesitation, Vulture Labs said Battersea Power Station. "Can't get enough of that building".
This shot was taken at around 23:00 hours on a Sunday night and used my remote shutter release for longish exposure of a minute. I like how, despite the light pollution, you can still make out stars. It's surprising how much they travel in this short amount of time! One of my favourite things about this image are the reflections of the lights across the Thames.
This looks much cooler when viewed in the lightbox. (Press L) (You can see so much more detail).

Great Horned Owls have adapted to many different places and climates. They occur in dense forests and high in the mountains. Great Horned Owls can vary in colour from a reddish brown to a grey or black and white. The underside is a light grey with dark bars and a white band of feathers on the upper breast. They have large, staring yellow eyes. The name is derived from tufts of feathers that appear to be horns which are sometimes referred to as ear tufts but have nothing to do with hearing at all. The large feet are feathered to the ends of the toes, and the immature birds resemble the adults. Females are 10 to 20% larger than males. Wingspan 91-152cm. Great Horned Owls have a large repertoire of sounds, ranging from deep booming hoots to shrill shrieks. The male's resonant territorial call oo-hoo hoooooo hoo-hoo can be heard over several miles during a still night. Great Horned Owls hunt by perching on snags and poles and watching for prey, or by gliding slowly above the ground. From high perches they dive down to the ground with wings folded, before snatching prey. Prey are usually killed instantly when grasped by its large talons. They also hunt by walking on the ground to capture small prey or wading into water to snatch frogs and fish. They have been known to walk into chicken coops to take domestic fowl. Rodents and small rabbits can be swallowed whole while larger prey are carried off and ripped apart at feeding perches or at the nest. Birds are often plucked first, and legs and wing tips discarded. An extremely wide range of prey species are captured, but rabbits and hares are its preferred prey. Mammalian prey includes all coexisting rodents, squirrels, mink, skunks, raccoons, armadillos, porcupines, shrews, moles, muskrats, and bats. They may sometimes take small domestic dogs and cats. Bird prey includes all other Owls (except Snowy Owl), grouse, woodpeckers, crows, turkeys, pigeons, Red-tailed Hawks, bitterns, Great Blue Heron, ducks, swans, gulls, etc. Reptiles include snakes, turtles, lizards, and young alligators. Amphibians include frogs, toads, and salamanders. Other foods include fish, large insects, scorpions, centipedes, crayfish, worms, spiders, and road killed animals. A Great Horned Owl is powerful enough to take prey 2 to 3 times heavier than itself.
Activity of the Great Horned Owl generally begins at dusk. Here at the Hochalm Bird-of-Prey Station in the National park Hohe Tauern these birds of prey can be up close and personal! An exciting experience in the Rauris Valley - Austria.
De Canadese oehoe is een van de 23 ondersoorten van de Amerikaanse oehoe. Het vrouwtje is een stuk groter dan het mannetje, dat scheelt wel 10 cm. Het vrouwtje vooral dus is een flinke uil, zij is rond de 58 cm groot en de spanwijdte van de vleugels kan wel anderhalve meter bedragen. Canadese oehoe's leven in het noorden van de Verenigde staten en in Canada in en rond bossen, soms tot op grote hoogtes. Gemengd bos biedt hen slaap- en schuilplaatsen en jagen doen ze meestal boven open terrein. Zittend vanaf een boomtak wordt er naar de grond gevlogen. Ze maken een vlucht over het jachtgebied en spieden hierbij rond. Vanuit de lucht laten ze zich als een pijl uit de boog afschieten naar de grond. Ze jagen op muizen, konijnen, kikkers, insecten, vogels en andere onge-wervelden. Deze reuzen zijn echte vleeseters en daarin zijn ze bepaald niet kieskeurig. Alles wat ze te pakken kunnen krijgen. Zelf kraaien zijn niet veilig voor ze.Ze jagen geruisloos vliegend vanuit de lucht, met stootvluchten vanaf een uitkijkpunt, maar ook lopend over de grond. In Amerika worden ze wel de tijgers van de lucht genoemd, vanwege hun onverschrokkenheid en hun effectiviteit bij de jacht. Ze vallen net zo makkelijk een forse eekhoorn aan als een rups of libel. Heel soms lopen ze over de grond of lopen ze in het water op zoek naar hun prooi. Een kleine prooi wordt in één keer doorgeslikt, een grotere prooi wordt eerst in stukken gescheurd. Tijdens de baltstijd lopen zowel het mannetje als het vrouwtje met afhangende vleugels en beiden buigen voor elkaar, terwijl ze ondertussen flink schreeuwen. De Oehoe graaft zijn nest meestal in de grond. Soms worden oude nesten van roofvogels gebruikt. De uilskuikens vliegen goed vanaf een week of tien. De ouderzorg gaat door totdat de uilskuikens ongeveer vijf maanden zijn. Tijdens de roofvogelshow Hochalm kunnen we de anders zo schuwe uilen van dichtbij in de Coulisse van het Nationalpark Hohe Tauern bewonderen.

Para montar en globo en Capadocia: hay que levantarse muy temprano, sobre las 5 de la mañana, para estar en el lugar a las 6. Los globos solo funcionan a primera hora para evitar las corrientes de aire fuertes.
Una vez allí ofrecen un desayuno, y mientras se toma, van desenrollando los globos y llenándolos de aire caliente.
Una vez preparado el globo se sube a las cestas (en cada una caben de 8 a 24 personas, dependiendo). Cuando abren los quemadores, el globo sube muy rápido hasta alcanzar los 500 m de altura. Ahí se apagan los quemadores y un silencio total y absoluto lo envuelve todo, comenzando a amanecer poco a poco... son momentos mágicos e inigualables llenos de paz y bienestar. Un espectáculo sublime para los sentidos.
Después el globo sigue subiendo hasta alcanzar los 800 m. El sol va asomando poco a poco iluminando tan grandioso paisaje, repleto de chimeneas rocosas (denominadas "chimeneas de las hadas") de distintas formas caprichosas que la naturaleza ha creado.
Conviene llevar algo de abrigo, pues a esa altura se nota frío, a pesar de que los quemadores dan calorcito.
Al bajar a tierra, ofrecen una copa de champán y un diploma acreditando que se ha montado en globo.
Desde luego se trata de una experiencia muy agradable, que sin lugar a dudas recomiendo.

Emerald Lake is one of the most admired destinations in Yoho National Park, with an unmatched diversity of both activities and landscapes suited to the enthusiastic traveler.
The hike around the lake, clocking in at about an hour, is one of the least strenuous but most rewarding in the park. An incredible breadth of geological features can be viewed from the lake, including the world-famous Burgess Shale fossil beds, the Michael glacier, and an avalanche slope carpeted by meadows where moose often graze.
Il Vicolo d'oro (Zlata Ulicka) è costituito da una serie di pittoresche casette in miniatura del 15° secolo, costruite a ridosso delle mura del castello di Praga; è stato riaperto il 1 giugno 2011 dopo un lungo restauro. Io l'ho fotografato in anteprima :-)
The Golden Lane is a row of miniature houses (15th century) in the Prague Castle; it is reopened from 1st June 2011 after extensive renovations. I have seen it in preview :-)
