MUSEO GUGGENHEIM
El Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Guggenheim de Bilbao, lo disenó el arquitecto canadiense Frank O. Gehry. Se trata de uno de los cinco museos de la Fundación Solomon R. Guggenheim. Fue inaugurado el 18 de octubre de 1997 por el Rey Juan Carlos I de España.
La característica más llamativa del museo es el innovador edificio en el que se emplaza, constituido por formas curvilíneas y retorcidas, recubiertas de piedra caliza, cortinas de cristal y planchas de titanio. Cuenta con una superficie total de 24.000 m², de los cuales 11.000 m² están reservado para las exposiciones, distribuidos en 19 galerías. Se ubica a orillas de la ría de Bilbao, en una zona denominada Abandoibarra, junto al puente Príncipes de España (puente de La Salve), que resulta rodeado por una torre hueca. El edificio recibió múltiples críticas favorables, como la del arquitecto estadounidense Philip Johnson, quien lo calificó como «el edificio más grande de nuestros tiempos»
Re-posted ~ The most famous photo of the Loch Ness Monster was taken 81 years ago today.
---------------------------------------------
Dedicated to our inner-child and to all the dreamers like us. ♥
The Loch Ness Monster is a cryptid that is reputed to inhabit Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. The most frequent speculation is that the creature represents a line of long-surviving plesiosaurs. The legendary monster has been affectionately referred to by the nickname "Nessie" since the 1950s.
The earliest legend about the Loch Ness monster recorded is the story of the Irish monk Saint Columba’s encounter with the beast. During is pilgrimage in Scotland to spread Christianity across the land, on his way to visit with the Pictish king in Inverness, he encountered some Picts burying what remained of one of their own people, badly savaged by a creature in the Loch. Columba ordered one of his followers to swim over to the other side of the water and retrieve the dead man’s boat. During this the servant was attacked by a creature. Columba (invoking the name of God) commanded the beast to return to whence it came and it vanished beneath the waters of the Loch leaving the swimming man unharmed.
It was not until 1933 that the monster became world famous as the world newspapers reported the story. So keep your eyes on the loch as you travel around, you never know you may be lucky and spot the monster too.

como en nuestras vidas, donde uno alumbra el camino del
otro, para que en buen puerto lleguen . . .

This Audi was at the parking place of Grand Hotel Huis Ter Duin. It's a beautiful car. What do you think of the editing?
I made this picture last summer but at that time I adapted this picture too much. Now I made a better version of it without the gates and poles. I hope you like it!

Suddenly before my eyes
Hues of indigo arise
With them how my spirit sighs
Paint the sky with stars
Only night will ever know
Why the heavens never show
All the dreams there are to know
Paint the sky with stars

Rodas es la ciudad principal de la isla griega de Rodas, en el sudeste del mar Egeo, y la capital de la prefectura del Dodecaneso. Rodas ha sido famosa desde la antigüedad por ser la sede del Coloso,una de las Siete Maravillas del Mundo Antiguo.
Su posición la convierte en un cruce de caminos entre Europa, Oriente Medio y África. Esta localización ha supuesto que a lo largo de la historia hayan pasado por la isla diferentes culturas, arquitecturas, lenguas, etc., lo que ha dejado una gran riqueza cultural en la isla. Se cree que está habitada desde el período neolítico.
En el centro de la Ciudad actual de Rodas está el núcleo antiguo, dedicado en su totalidad al turismo junto al puerto de Mandraki. Lo forma la ciudad medieval, con sus calles empedradas, las fortalezas y edificios antiguos reformados, y alguna mezquita. Cabe mencionar las murallas y fortalezas, el Palacio de los Grandes Maestres de la Orden,el Hospital (hoy Museo Arqueológico)... La ciudad vieja está llena de tiendas donde trabajan seis mil personas y se venden toda clase de recuerdos, con el centro comercial en la calle de Sokratos.

This photo was taken on a trip from Tórshavn to Stóra Dímun on 1 August 2010 with the schooner Norðlýsið. I have only been there once. Beautiful green island. 8 people live there. Their ancestors settled here in 1807. People have been living on the islands for more than 1000 years. The families website: www.storadimun.fo/
Stóra Dímun is one of the smallest of the 18 islands in the Faroe Islands and one of the southernmost, it is located between two other small islands: Lítla Dímun, which is not inhabited and Skúvoy. It is also near Suðuroy, the southernmost island and Sandoy. I live in Suðuroy, and every time I go to the capital Tórshavn, I pass by Stóra Dímun.

I decided to process the DSS version again (last image posted was stacked using Nebulosity) the galaxy now spans edge to edge almost. This time I tried to retain the galactic bulge without blowing out but in doing so some of the core detail is lost in this version. This is a planned 20 hour project, I will post a 10 hour version soon after the moon wanes weather prevailing and I dont get hit by a bus.
I hope you comment good or bad.
Thanks for looking.

Here's another image from yoga shoot with Natalia Rudovsky, an amazing yoga teacher at Yogalife Seattle.
This is CPII with his EYE keenly focused on his buddy, the squirrel, that lives in an Oak Tree in our back yard.
I had just returned from taking a shot or two of a rose and caught his intensity with a 100mm Macro lens. Not my lens of choice but I fired away because of the opportunity to capture this pose. I thought it turned out pretty cool and decided to share..
Needs to be viewed LARGE or ORIGINAL to see the focus of his eye. The image starts to blur out quickly because the lens was stopped up to f/2.8 at the time. thanks....

Another shot from my series of Munich's Metro stations. I guess it's the best known station amongst photographers - Westfriedhof.
Once again, hand held shot, two exposures - one for the lamps and one for the rest, blended in Photoshop.
In color-processing i concentrated on the light - to enhance the contrast between the cold blue on the walls and the warm yellow on the floor.

A long exposure of a moving ferris wheel.
I just started using Google+ and its a great place to show your work and find great photographers, here's an invite.
About the Photo
*Camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS *Lens: EF-S 18-55mm ƒ/3.5-5.6 IS *Shutter Speed: 20.0 Sec. *Aperture Value: ƒ/22.0 *ISO: 100 *Focal Length: 18mm (28.8mm Equivalent in 35mm Film)
I shot this on a tripod, using a polarizing filter to make the sky a darker blue to contrast the bright lights, and a 2 Sec. selftimer. I like the diffraction stars created by the small aperture that I used.
I opened the RAW file in ACR and used a new preset I made to give an image a slight HDR feel by increasing the contrast and recovering the highlights and adding detail to the shadows. Pretty well it increases the fill light and recovery sliders, then compensates for lack of contrast by increasing the blacks. The detail is added by the clarity slider and the tone curve is manipulated to tune the global contrast of the image. Since I agressively increased the contrast of the image I decreased the saturation and increased the vibrance to compensate and tweaked each colour's hue to make them look the way I wanted.
I opened the RAW file in CS4 and blended it using luminousity blending mode with another layer that didn't have the ACR adjustments that I had done, I lowered the layer's opacity to control the HDR-like effects to the image and removed some of the annoying halos around the shadow areas. I used the patch tool to remove a large pole to the left of the frame and finished it off with the cloning tool. I cropped the bottom of the frame slightly to remove a boring portion of the image. At the end I saved a 16 bit TIFF file, converted to sRGB colourspace and saved as a JPEG to upload to the internet.

One of our tours in northern Spain along the Atlantic coast brought us to the fishing village Bermeo, which still preserved the atmosphere of a typical fishing port.
As I discovered the ropes with the boats in the background, they encouraged me to play with the depth of field. You can see the second picture in my comment.
If you like please tell me .... which one do you like more?
Bermeo is a town and municipality located in the province of Biscay, in the autonomous community of the Basque Country, which lies in Northern Spain. Bermeo has 17,049 inhabitants, and it is the most important fishing port of the Basque Country.
Bermeo is linked by EuskoTren to Bilbao. Bermeo - en.wikipedia
Nice to view Large On Black
Eine unserer Touren in Nordspanien entlang der Atlantikküste brachte uns nach Bermeo einem Fischerort, in dessen Hafen die typische Fischereiatmosphäre noch erhalten ist.
Der Anblick der Taue mit den dahinter liegenden Booten reizte mich zum Spiel mit der Tiefenschärfe. Das zweite Foto seht ihr in meinem Kommentar.
Wenn Ihr mögt, verratet mir welches Foto euch besser gefällt ....
Bermeo ist eine Stadt mit 16.932 Einwohnern (2005) im spanischen Baskenland.
Sie liegt direkt an der Atlantikküste, etwa 25 km nordöstlich von Bilbao, in der nordspanischen Provinz Bizkaia.
Der Küstenort verfügt über einen wichtigen Fischereihafen. Durch eine Eisenbahnlinie ist Bermeo mit Bilbao verbunden.Wikipedia

Does the bee care what happens
After it had its fill of the flower…...
Am I the wasted flower and
you the bee….
Be careful,dear
Love is a double edged sword,
It can pierce with love
or it can enter with hate.
You heard the words often
“Hell hath no fury like a women scorned’
hear the words now…
“Revenge has no face like the women deceived”
Think well Dear, Think twice
it is your life in the making…
Lest you have to look over
your shoulder again and once more.

Bjarnarflag Geothermal Power Plant just at midnight. We were going out the Myvatn Natural Baths, and we saw the light of the Midnight Sun.
It was the only time I forgot the camera at our place, so I had to drive all the way to Skutustadir and then, come back.
The Power Plant is such a strange place, with chimneys and steam vents everywhere. The ground is burning. The light at midnight made this place much more surreal, like a base on Mars...so I decided to shoot at a very long exposure speed, like 6 minutes. The steam and reflections of the sky in the small Blue Lagoon lake made it.
Bjarnarflag, Myvatn area, Iceland.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bjarnarflag, que es una Planta de Energía Geotérmica, a medianoche. Salíamos de los Baños Naturales del Myvatn, cuando vimos la luz del Sol de medianoche.
Fue la única vez que me olvidé la cámara en la granja donde dormíamos, así que tuve que conducir todo el camino a Skutustadir y, a después, volver al mismo lugar.
La Central es un lugar extraño, con chimeneas y fumarolas de vapor en todas partes. El suelo quema. La luz a medianoche hacen de este lugar algo mucho más surrealista, como una base en Marte ... así que decidí disparar con un tiempo de exposición muy largo, como 6 minutos. El vapor y los reflejos del cielo en el pequeño Blue Lagoon del Myvatn hicieron el resto.
Bjarnarflag, zona del lago Myvatn, Islandia.

So I brought my red cafe chair to the beach recently as a prop for my friends to use (as well as myself as you can see). We are all Flickr addicts so it was very natural. What ensued can only be described as hilarious with me nearly wetting my pants trying to stay on that chair as the waves rolled in...the chair kept sinking in the sand as well. I have always wanted to learn to surf so here is my ode to surfing. It is probably as close as I will ever get. HBM! HOBM!
We spent the night in this beautiful, isolated virgin Island called North Cay. The Experience was grand!

So, Never give up. Never!!!!!!!! LOL

Have a Blessed Day!
Hello again everyone. This is a sunset shot from Buffalo Point on Antelope Island on the eastern side of the Great Salt Lake in Utah. This was a shot that came at a very heavy price! Numerous Biting Gnats and mosquitoes were hungrily attacking me as I shot this series of photos! They did not only have me to dine upon, but my nephew and my nieces!
Behind us was a great thunderstorm show, and I kept rotating my camera around to try and catch the lightning! Dang it! Every time I moved it or repositioned my camera, a lightning bolt would strike! Oh well not in the cards for this time.
Tomorrow starts my 5 day photo tour of the Palouse region in eastern Washington. I am extremely excited about that. I have just spent the last day and a half in Glacier National Park. Hopefully I can get a shot or two posted later this week in between all of the awesome crop shots I am about to get.
This is a combination of three exposures (+2, 0, -2) merged and tonemapped in Photomatix. I then used Topaz Adjust to help bring some pop to the exposure and final adjustments in Lightroom 2.
I hope everyone is great and I will be able to catch up on your photo streams later in the week. Thank you for the visits, the comments and faves. Have a great Sunday!

This picture was shot on a tripod with three exposures (-2..0..+2..EV). I used Photomatix to create the HDR with tone mapping and detail enhanced. I increased the overall saturation with Hue/Saturation in Photoshop. Curve adjustment to increase the overall contrast. 1 layer mask for the sky to increase color and contrast. 1 layer mask in soft light mode at 50% gray, using brush tool to lighten and darken some areas of the image, to bring out details. Used Nik Sharpener Pro to sharpen image.
