A Habronattus pyrrithrix male . I always marvel at images other photographers take of spiders faces up close. Especially jumping spiders. This is my first jumping spider image. I never could get close enough or have a camera with me when I spot on moving along.... and they do move a lot. Well, I think my lens surprised this little guy who was guarding my plants. The orange part of his head inflated small, rounded head. I guess this position gives it a near 360 degree view of its surroundings. Awesome creature! Hope I identified it correctly.

A spider needs so many eyes because it cannot twist its cephalothorax ("head") to see. Rather, the eyes are fixed in place. In order to hunt and evade predators, spiders need to be able to sense movement all around them.
In the middle of the desert of Jaisalmer the ruins of abandoned village 'Kuldhara' almost seeming ghostly with the sound of warm wind blowing across. The scene interrupted by an Indian Air Force plane flying low in the sky. This village was abandoned by its inhabitants 200 years ago. This village is considered haunted and the Government of Rajasthan has prohibited entry after sunset!

Jumping Spider (Habronattus pyrrithrix) Kind of looked like a MINION to me when his head inflated in alarm to my camera lens.

Greetings from Toronto. Our City Icon, The CN Tower bathed by the light of a spectacular harvest moon.
thanks for your visit. have a wonderful weekend.
One of the new experiences to try in London is a lift ride up one of the chimney stacks of Batersea Power Station. It's called Lift 109 and the view, I think you'll agree, is nothing short of spectacular.

From the top floor of the KölnTriangle, You can see the Cologne Cathedral in full! That’s how massive it is… You need to be this high up just to fit it into one frame.
Kölner Dom, a breathtaking Gothic masterpiece. It's not just one of Germany’s most visited landmarks, but also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Seychelles Islands. 3 main islands, Mahé, Praslin and La Digue. Another approach at the famous beach of Anse Source d'Argent (yes, the one from James Bond). 360 degree panoramic view (miniplanet projection) of an amazing sunset on an amazing beach.
Trekked early morning over the Matanga Hill to catch a glimpse of this beautiful sunrise. Matanga Hill has 360 degree of entire Hampi which is best seen during sunrise. I think, if anyone goes to Hampi, this is the best thing that they would take back home :)
The statue of Ilanaaq, by Vancouver based designer Elena Rivera MacGregor, is located on the peak of Whistler Mountain. It is both the logo & the mascot of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Chosen from 1600 entries, its contemporary design is based on the Inuit inukshuk, a stone marker used by the Inuit for centuries, as a guide through the northern Arctic terrain. Representing the culture, environment and people of Canada, the inukshuk has become internationally known as the symbol of leadership, cooperation, friendship & the human spirit. The word "ilanaaq" means 'friend' in the native Inuit language. I reached Whistler's peak by travelling the new 4.4 kilometre long suspension cable ride strung between Blackcomb & Whistler called "Peak2Peak". An almost incomprehensible engineering marvel with only 4 pylons, 2 on Blackcomb & 2 on Whistler, 3.2 kms of it is unsupported cable, with a deep natural dip. The leisurely ride is smooth, relatively quiet and takes exactly 11 minutes peak to peak, though there is no awareness of speed. One is offered a phenomenal 360* view of British Columbia.

Decided I wanted to do something to acknowedge the Vancouver Olympics before they finish Sunday. All images were taken during my trip to the west coast last August, 2009.
Originally an equirectangular panorama. But I think the flat version is OK, once I cropped a bit from top and bottom.
This are 8 photo's put together in a 360 vieuw.
Very early in the morning so there are almost no people.
Whenever it snows this is the mountain view I try to reach. It's a true 360 from a pile of rocks and the best in this part of VA. This snow event was rather disappointing for long range views, since here was right on the edge of it all, and east at the base of the mountain there was none at all. This view is looking SW but the snow seemed to be falling in hard from the west, so the eastern facing slopes were a little on the light side with accumulation. Throw in the very boring "Sonic Clear" skies and it combined for a scene well below par as compared to years past.
This is for me though an outdoors trip I probably enjoy more than any other of the year. The hike under the best circumstances is rather difficult, 1.5 miles from the parking area to summit and 1500 ft of elevation gain. There are a few prolonged relatively flat sections of trail too, so when it's going up, it's very steep with many large rocky steps up and down. It's an extreme workout for someone my age with the 6 inches of powder making every step more or less a 1/2 step with the continuous slipping and traction loss, and necessary reduction in stride. I had to stop and rest some after the first half mile, not from lack of wind but from the incredible over-heating and sweating in 25 degree weather with the stiff wind. The layers would be needed at the top but not so much on the hike up. I have done this in deeper and more challenging snows, but every time the first 1/4 mile out from the car I think how daunting it all seems. Oddly enough as I neared the summit at one of the steepest sections I was feeling like it was just another hike, gotten used to it a little.
This is the best time of the year up here. The parkway is closed and not as many people know of the alternate route, plus the road up is ice covered and risky. The hike is 3x challenging as normal too and not as many want to tackle it. It all combines for me to know that when I arrive alone, I'll also most likely be leaving alone, I have never encountered another up here in the snow, but have seen other tracks. It's great solitude and though Sonic Clear, the skies looked eternal after the numerous days of rain and gloom leading up to this, a feeling of being set free.Saw an eagle leave the rocks below the summit, took photos, played around with my dog Turbo, and you know it's been a rewarding and draining day when you get home and your 2 year old Border Collie just sacks out the remainder.
This is 4 vertical shots Photomerged, most of the sky cropped out for being boring.
