This shot has been taken in Manarola during the blue hour, the temperature was around five degres and the waves were pretty high in the sea. The town is almost desert during winter, but always a beautiful subject to photograph.

Each of us can look back upon someone who made a great difference in our lives, someone whose wisdom or simple acts of caring made an impression upon us. In all likelihood it was someone who sought no recognition for their deed other than the joy of knowing that, by their hand, another's life had been made better.

Calgary - Alberta

Canada

Peace Bridge

Designed by Santiago Calatrava

The bridge was built by The City of Calgary to connect the southern Bow River pathway and Downtown Calgary with the northern Bow River pathway and the community of Sunnyside. This connection was designed to accommodate the increasing number of people commuting to and from work and those utilizing Calgary's pathways.

I was fascinated by the Peace Bridge and because my hotel was right behind the Shaw building I could go there anytime I wanted...:-))

La playa del Silencio, también conocida como El Gavieru, está situada en el concejo de Cudillero, Asturias, España.

Es una playa paradisíaca a la que todavía no ha llegado la masificación, es de cantos rodados y en la parte derecha se puede ver una montaña con una parte de acantilado. Debido a la claridad de sus aguas se puede practicar el submarinismo o pesca submarina.

Also called the Drei Zinnen as up until 1919, they formed part of the border between Italy and Austria. There are many reasons this is a very popular hike around the three peaks reaching 2,999 metres at the highest point.

Here's my take on the nights festivities at Shiprock in New Mexico. Wayne Pinkston, Sandra Herber, Chris Wrey, Willa Wei, Huibo Hou, and Wenjie Qiao and I, all converged on this formation with some serious intent on one very windy chilly evening.

Hot tip of the day!!! :)

I always keep a full-size carabiner attached to the handle on My Tamrac Expedition7 camera pack and a mini titanium carabiner attached to the hook on my tripod, and this was one of those rare times that I had to attached my camera pack to my tripod. :)

This is the huge cloud that was causing all the afternoon weather in Stanley. I decided to convert this to black and white so that we can focus on the massive cloud itself - thousands of feet high.

Tomorrow I'll show you some colour shots and you'll see the way it dwarfs the town of Stanley in Tasmania's northwest.

Variant of one of my favorite motifs on a foggy morning in winter.

Eltz Castle is a hilltop castle from the 12th century. It is located in the valley of the Elz, which separates the Maifeld from the Vordereifel, south of the village on the district of the local community Wierschem in Rhineland-Palatinate at 320 m above sea level. The building is one of the most famous castles in Germany (source: Wikipedia).

Variante eines meiner Lieblingsmotive an einem nebligen Vormittag im Winter.

Die Burg Eltz ist eine Höhenburg aus dem 12. Jahrhundert. Sie liegt im Tal der Elz, die das Maifeld von der Vordereifel trennt, südlich der Ortslage auf der Gemarkung der Ortsgemeinde Wierschem in Rheinland-Pfalz auf 320 m ü. NHN. Das Bauwerk gehört zu den bekanntesten Burgen Deutschlands (Quelle: Wikipedia).
