On my way home from at very distant Realestate photography assignment, I drove by a very dirty beach. At a closer look, the dirt was a lot of pacific oysters (an invasive species in Denmark) washed up on the shore. Quite a view, and I learned something new today - didn’t know we have Pacific oysters in the cold state of Denmark.

Gosaikund is located in the Langtang region of Nepal. Langtang area is a popular place to visit among trekkers and pilgrims. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gosaikunda)
The Langtang area is supposed to have 108 holy lakes, of which 85 have been identified. For Hindus Gosaikund is the holiest of these lakes.
According to the Puranas, during Samundra manthan 13 items were released before Dhanvantri emerged with the pot of Amrit. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samudra_manthan)
One of the items that came out was a poison called Halahala. Since, there was no place to safely dispose it off, Shiva agreed to hold it in his throat. But the poison was so potent that it turned his neck blue, hence, the name Neelkanth, and started burning his throat. Since there was no water nearby, Shiva threw his Trishul on ground and the place where the Trishul struck three water fountains spurted out. These became the three lakes: Saraswatikund, Bhairavkund and Gosaikund. After drinking water from Gosaikund Shiva disappeared in the kund.
The poison imparted its blue color to the water of Gosaikund and even today the area around the lake is barren.

"Forever 21 is an American chain of clothing retailers with branches in major cities in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East that offers trendy clothing and accessories for young women, men, and teen girls at low quality, affordable prices."
I chose Forever 21 for this challenge, and I was particularly inspired but an specific collection: The Cirque 21 Collection. Loved those playful and colorful ads!
I'd also like to apologise for being late for this challenge. I really didn't want to cause any trouble and I promise it won't happen again.
I met Steve the other day while taking a drive through the National Elk Refuge. He was standing next to his big truck on the side of the road and the scene was just iconic. I pulled over and gave him my 100 strangers project rap, he took a few moments to think about it and agreed. I intended to use a posed waist up portrait for the project but honestly when looking through all the images I felt that this one captured his character the most.
Steve grew up in Wyoming and owns a ranch near Pinedale which is 90+ miles east of Jackson. He's a big guy and towered over me, I enjoyed talking with him and he was generous with his time.
this photo is #21 in my 100 strangers project. find out more about the project and see pictures from other photographers at www.100strangers.com

Lugar: Atardecer en Playa Benítez (Ceuta). Sobre la orilla un grupo de pavanas cortejándose.
Clase magistral del Tito Rafa sobre el arte de trabajar en los olivos... Increíble labor, grandísimo trabajo por demasiado poco beneficio. Escuchar todo eso me ha hecho pensar en todo ese esfuerzo y dedicación que ocurre sin que lo sepamos, el sufrimiento de que el clima sea quien decida el resultado de tanto tiempo invertido, para muchos toda su vida... Mi admiración a todas esas personas que trabajan en el campo, para que disfrutemos de sus sabores!
