So fixing my hair didn't work apparently :P
I was gonna write about how my hair is the result of a ton of backcombing and only 1 hairgrip, but then I realised I edited the poop out of it anyway so it wouldn't exaclty be truthful. It was pretty tall though...just not this tall...
I might add more details to this photo, 'cause I have a few more ideas for it, but I wanted to post it already.
You can probably see that Flickr sharpened the shit out of it. I don't mind...
If you want to see it in closer detail view it on my Tumblr
Wanna ask me something and pretend it wasn't you?

Con este amacer quiero agradeceros a tod@s vostr@s, las palabras que me habeis dedicado en estos momentos duros. Gracias por ese afecto y cariño que me habeis demostrado a traves de la fotografia y de Flickr. Muchisimas GRACIAS
En esta vida todo llega y todo pasa, por desgracia pasamos por momentos difíciles y duros de los que nos tenemos que reponer y continuar con nuestras cosas cotidianas sin mirar para atrás. Pero debemos reflexionar y decirnos que no merece la pena no disfrutar el día a día, no merece la pena el llevarnos mal con los demás, no merece la pena no ser felices pudiendo serlo, creo que debemos intentarlo por lo menos y pasar por esta vida de la mejor manera posible, haciendo amigos y no haciendo daño a nadie, creo que así viviremos mucho mejor.
Por todo ello os deseo a tod@s que seáis lo más felices posible
Nunca somos tan felices ni tan infelices como pensamos
Espero que sean de vuestro agrado
Os recuerdo que todas se pueden ver en grande y comentarlas

Seen during a wonderful 20 km hike in Müritz National Park ( a really lovely landscape in Northern Germany) on the handrail of a footbridge near a lake.
The Vagrant Darter, Sympetrum sanguineum, is a European dragonfly.
The species takes it English name from its habit of occasionally appearing as a rare vagrant north of its normal range.
It is a dragonfly of the family sailing dragonflies (Libellulidae). These are a family of large dragonflies (Anisoptera). It is a medium-sized dragonfly with a wingspan of 5 to 6.5 centimeters.
The head, chest (thorax) and hindquarters (abdomen) of the animals are red in the male, the female is more brownish-yellow-red colored with black markings.
You can find the Vagrant Darter in the months from July to November at all kinds of stagnant waters, including smaller waters and garden ponds.
Warmly recommended to view Large On Black
Die Gemeine Heidelibelle (Sympetrum sanguineum) ist eine Libellenart aus der Familie der Segellibellen (Libellulidae). Diese sind eine Familie der Großlibellen (Anisoptera). Es handelt sich dabei um eine mittelgroße Libelle mit einer Flügelspannweite von 5 bis maximal 6,5 Zentimetern.
Der Kopf, der Brustabschnitt (Thorax) und der Hinterleib (Abdomen) der Tiere sind beim Männchen rot, beim Weibchen eher bräunlich-gelbrot mit schwarzer Zeichnung gefärbt.
Die Gemeine Heidelibelle ist in den Monaten Juli bis November an stehenden Gewässern aller Art anzutreffen, darunter auch Kleingewässer und Gartenteiche. Wikipedia
Während einer 20 km langen Wanderung im Müritz National Park sah ich viele Libellen. An dem Tag sind alle drei Aufnahmen entstanden.

You see here a small section of the glass facade of the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart. The glass front includes on each side of the building 56 fields, 7 in width and 8 in height.
Anyone who wants to can see the building here Wikipedia.
The Kunstmuseum Stuttgart is the art museum in Stuttgart, Germany. It opened in March 2005.
The cubic museum building with 5000 m² of display space was designed by Berlin architects Hascher and Jehle. During the day it looks like a glass cube, and at nights the interior lighted limestone walls become visible.
The museum's collection comes from the previous "Galerie der Stadt Stuttgart". The city's collection goes back to a gift from the Marchese Silvio della Valle di Casanova in 1924. It contains one of the most important collections of the work of Otto Dix and also works from Willi Baumeister, Adolf Hölzel, Dieter Roth and others (wikipedia).

Zu sehen ist hier ein kleiner Ausschnitt der Glasfassade von dem Kunstmuseum Stuttgart. Die Glasfront umfasst an jeder Gebäudeseite 56 Felder, 7 in der Breite und 8 in der Höhe.
Wer möchte, kann das Gesamtgebäude bei Wikipedia sehen .
Das Kunstmuseum wurde im März 2005 als „Nachfolgemuseum“ der Galerie der Stadt Stuttgart eröffnet. Im ersten Jahr nach der Eröffnung des Hauses wurden 330.000 Besucher gezählt. Damit hat das Kunstmuseum sogar die Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart überflügelt (Quelle: Stuttgarter Zeitung). Seine exponierte Lage in der Fußgängerzone Königstraße trägt ebenso dazu bei wie die außergewöhnliche Architektur eines die Ausstellungsräume umhüllenden strengen Glaskubus.
Das Museumsgebäude mit 5000 m² Ausstellungsfläche wurde von den Berliner Architekten Hascher und Jehle entworfen. Es wirkt von außen tagsüber als gläserner Würfel, der die Umgebung als Spiegel aufnimmt. Nachts werden die beleuchteten Travertinwände im Innern sichtbar (Wikipedia)

In case you are tired of seeing Half Dome, it isn't in this photo!!
I stayed one extra day in Yosemite after everyone else had left so that I could hike the Mist Trail and to get around to other locations in the Valley I might have missed. Since I came the farthest, I needed to maximize my time in the park!!
Kevin told me that some weather was moving in and that I would probably see some epic clouds. He wasn't kidding. The clouds were totally epic, so epic that Half Dome was entirely obscured!
It did make an appearance, briefly; but I am uploading that image later! Note: time image taken is listed as CST (forget to change the camera time). Real time this was taken was two hours earlier at 7:18!
My dear friend Yvette , (Photoma's World) took me to wonderful places in Flanders , her corner of the world !
PLEASE , do not comment with GLITTER IMAGES !
Gratefully to Lydia Marano for the use of the texture
Kerala Is located in the farthest south of India and on its west coast. This state provides grand sights of nature. Passing clouds of extreme beauty and ferocity. Rolling thunder that would make animals and humans seek shelter and bolts of lightning that would streak the dark skies ever so often. In a word - it was pure magic. Thank You Thor.. if you are still there.
A storm befitting the stature of Thor, the Norse God of LIghtning, Thunder and all things elemental. Much like the two gods of the current day Hindu pantheon Hanuman and Garuda who were mightier then the other gods but chose to serve less powerful Gods.
Is there a lesson here.. ?
Maybe the area where I stayed was actually a wind tunnel from the sea to the western ghats. So perhaps it was just the location that got me such grand sights. The cloud formation if it would have been shot from maybe near the bridge would have given a correct visual of the name it carries Mammatus.
After seeing grand sights such as these , one would think that one would have got whatever what one wanted but I am still looking for what I have not found..... in the true U2 verse of similar nature. So here is an appropriate number by Celtic Thunder who do versions of various famous songs..

Que se construya en España una gran obra de uno de los arquitectos más famosos del mundo es siempre una excelente noticia. Si además se trata de un artista de cuyas creaciones es muy difícil disfrutar en Europa el acontecimiento se vuelve importante a una escala aún mayor.
Y si estamos hablando de Oscar Niemeyer es algo que los aficionados a la arquitectura y al arte deben celebrar.
Pues resulta que esto es lo que ha ocurrido en un lugar tan bonito como Avilés, la pequeña ciudad asturiana donde ya podemos visitar el Centro Niemeyer, una de las creaciones arquitectónicas más hermosas y sorprendentes que he visto nunca, la primera obra del creador de Brasilia construida en España y la más importante que se puede ver en toda Europa.
Os aseguro que era la primera vez que lo veía acabado y además con ese amanecer por detrás de el, que me ha parecido un gran privilegio y que espero que al igual que yo lo he disfrutado en ese momento a vosotros os agrade al verlo en estas tomas.
Os recomiendo visitarlo
Y como siempre recomiendo verlo en grande y que todas las tomas se pueden ver en ese tamaño y comentarlas
Saludos

Le Crete Senesi occupano una vasta area a sud-est della città di Siena, interessando i territori comunali di Asciano, Buonconvento, Monteroni d'Arbia, Rapolano Terme, San Giovanni d'Asso e Trequanda.
La zona presenta un caratteristico paesaggio collinare, pressoché spoglio di vegetazione, dove si alternano in modo molto suggestivo calanchi e biancane che, a tratti, sembrano costituire un paesaggio lunare. Fin dal Medioevo, questa area era conosciuta nell'insieme con il nome di Deserto di Accona.
L'area, da sempre inospitale, ha mantenuto quasi intatte le originarie caratteristiche ambientali, tanto che ancora oggi risulta difficoltosa la coltura della vite e dell'ulivo. Grazie alle opere irrigue, è possibile la coltivazione di grano e girasoli.

Puerto del Escudo
♫ Berrogüetto - Nadal de luintra ♫
Foto dedicada a mi gran amiga Lur, porque la luz está en tu interior, y esa luz nos hace mejores a tu familia de afectos, cuando estamos cerca de tí.
Para acompañar la fotografía una hermosa canción de Navidad galega, pues con ella al lado siempre es "Navidad".
El Puerto del Escudo es un puerto de montaña a 1.011 metros de altitud, en el límite entre Cantabria y Castilla y León. En él nace el río Magdalena o Luena, afluente del río Pas.
Desde antiguo este paso ha sido una de las principales vías de acceso desde la costa a la Meseta atravesando la Cordillera Cantábrica.
El Puerto del Escudo está atravesado por la carretera N-623 , conocida por sus fuertes rampas en su vertiente cántabra que pueden llegar hasta el 15% y por la dificultad para el tránsito de los vehículos pesados. Esta característica y su altitud hace que durante las nevadas de los meses invernales se cierre este acceso con relativa frecuencia.
Photo dedicated to my good friend Lur, because the light is within you, and that light makes us better your family's feelings, when we are close to you.
To accompany the photograph beautiful galega Christmas song, because with her next, it is always "Christmas".
Escudo Port is a mountain pass to 1,011 meters of altitude, on the border of Cantabria and Castilla y León. It was born Luena River, a tributary of the river Pas.
Since ancient times this step has been one of the main access routes from the coast to the plateau across the Cantabrian Mountains.
The Puerto del Escudo is crossed by the road N-623, known for its strong ramp in the Cantabrian side that can reach 15% and the difficulty for the transit of heavy vehicles. This feature and its altitude makes it snows during the winter months this access is closed relatively frequently..
Teddy just had his twice monthly bath, which did not make him happy. Nothing like having a two and a half pound Chihuahua trying to climb your arm while you bathe him in the kitchen sink!
This will most definitely go down in history as my most dangerous shoot ever. I was so scared to crawl across the melting ice caps at my cottage to get this, I almost didn't do it! But I knew I'd regret it if I didn't, and I was right. So thankful not to have fallen through to that ice water below!
I have never been away from flickr this long before. Feels weird, but at the same time quite refreshing. I've had so much going on the past 4 months with my dollhouse show (which was a success!) and obtaining a new visa to live in the U.S. (which I am currently home in Canada waiting on), that I've scarcely had time to think about photography. After all this time away, it felt strangely blissful to sprawl across the melting ice in sheer agony. Like coming home :)
Karimabad is the capital of Hunza in Gilgit-Baltistan, northern Pakistan. Karimabad is also known as Baltit. It is named after Prince Karim Aga Khan, the spiritual head of Shia Ismaili Nizari community. It is one of the most beautiful places in Pakistan and it swarms with tourists from all around the world during summers. It provides spectacular views of many beautiful mountains like Rakaposhi. The Guardian ranked it as the 4th Best Tourist Site in Pakistan.

Ave de médio porte, o bem-te-vi mede entre de 20,5 e 25 cm de comprimento para, aproximadamente, 60 gramas. Tem o dorso pardo e a barriga de um amarelo vivo; uma listra (sobrancelha) branca no alto da cabeça, acima dos olhos; cauda preta. O bico é preto, achatado, longo, resistente e um pouco encurvado. A garganta (zona logo abaixo do bico) é de cor branca. Possui um topete amarelo somente visível quando a ave o eriça em determinadas situações. O seu canto trissilábico característico lembra as sílabas bem-te-vi, que dão o nome à espécie. Portanto, seu nome popular possui origem onomatopeica. É ave típica da América Latina, com uma distribuição geográfica que se estende predominantemente do sul do México à Argentina. (www.wikiaves.com.br)

La súper luna llena más grande y más brillante al acercarse a la menor distancia de la Tierra en 18 años. La última luna llena tan grande y tan cerca de la Tierra se produjo en marzo de 1993.
La luna llena varía de tamaño debido a la forma elíptica de la órbita de la Luna. Se trata de una elipse con una cara (perigeo) cerca de 50 mil kilómetros más cerca de la Tierra que el otro (apogeo).
Las lunas llenas del perigeo son cerca de 14% y 30% más grande y más brillantes respectivamente que las lunas menores que ocurren en el lado del apogeo de la órbita de la Luna.
La Luna estará entonces a 354.577 kilómetros de la Tierra. Es decir que estaremos 26.323 kilómetros más cerca de lo normal de nuestro satélite natural, del que nos separa una distancia media de 382.900 km.
El perigeo es el momento de la órbita lunar en el cual la Luna está más cerca de la Tierra, momento que se repite regularmente.
Recordemos que, tanto la Luna como la Tierra, se encuentran en constantes y múltiples movimientos, por lo que la distancia entre ambos cuerpos nunca es la misma que hace un segundo.
La órbita de la Luna presenta algunas variaciones matemáticas. Por eso, hay perigeos más cercanos a la Tierra que otros. El perigeo del 19 de marzo, en particular, será el más cercano a la Tierra en casi 20 años.
