Es la primera obra escultórica de lenguaje moderno instalada en un espacio público de la ciudad. Como ocurrirá posteriormente, su transgresión formal provocará un vivo debate entre los gijoneses de esta época. Actualmente, es uno de las esculturas más características de la ciudad, con un fuerte sentido simbólico. Situada en el Paseo del Rinconín, la Madre mira al mar, hacia el que alcanza degarradoramente una de sus manos. Muriedas intentó plasmar en ella el sufrimiento de tantas asturianas y gijonesas que vieron como sus hijos debían partir en busca de una vida mejor.
Escultura de Ramón Muriedas

A little bit of autumn color for you ... before winter gets here!! I have so many autumn photos I took before I left for my Yosemite trip. I spent a few hours at a local nature center. I was the only one there; the light & the colors fabulous!!
Happy "Fall Color" Monday!
Taken from my hotel room on the 22nd floor of the Cerulean Tower Hotel in Shibuya , Tokyo .
The Hotel actually had 40 floors on the elevator so I asked the concierge in my most polite japanese if it was possible for me to go higher up to make a photo ?
He said I could from the restaurant but it opens at 11am and unfortunately I had to leave at by 7.30 for the airport . I can only imagine how spectacular that view must have been. Shikata ga nai !

Finally I got a change to enjoy my seascape fetish for couple of days. A successful weekend trip with my friend Örvar Atli to the north of Iceland, visiting some "hidden gems" and less visited places of our part.
Ernan is a shipswreck at Borgarsandur, near Sauðárkrókur in Skagafjörður, north Iceland. The remaining ship is only visible on low tide, so for successful photography it's pretty hard to plan to visit it during sunset/sunrise unless having the tide figured out also. So it's really a hidden gem.

Yesterday was very significant day for our astronomical association. We had meeting with President of Republic of Croatia. He became our honorary member and he will be patronage for next year Ten days of astronomy in Daruvar. We are so proud about this. It's a great honor.
Also we had assembly. It was the occasion for socializing with other astronomers. We were at Petrov vrh, which is at an altitude of 547.00 m. Night was so clear. It was amazing to see so bright sky with so many stars.

Another shot from my Oregon Zoo tour. This guy is the coolest. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: it’s too bad Lions are so dangerous otherwise they would make the perfect 21st century family pet. Heck YAH I’d walk down the street with one of these on a leash. Ya think anyone would bother me? Who needs a watch dog when you can have a watch cat? The only problem would be carrying a shovel and shopping bag instead of one of those small plastic doggie bag thingies for......well......you know. =)

Yes, the cows came up to me and made my life hell until I gave up and went away.
One of a pair of stones catching the first rays of the morning sun in a field not far from home, I will most likely post a shot of the other one some rainy day.

Iceland[4][5] i/ˈaɪslənd/ (Icelandic: Ísland, IPA: [ˈislant]; see Names for Iceland), officially called Republic of Iceland[6][7][8] and sometimes its counterpart Lýðveldið Ísland in Icelandic (for example this is a part of the name of the Constitution of Iceland, Stjórnarskrá lýðveldisins Íslands), is a Nordic European island country in the North Atlantic Ocean, on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.[9] The country has a population of about 320,000 and a total area of 103,000 km2 (40,000 sq mi).[10] The capital and largest city is Reykjavík,[11] with the surrounding areas in the southwestern region of the country being home to two-thirds of the country's population. Iceland is volcanically and geologically active. The interior mainly consists of a plateau characterised by sand fields, mountains and glaciers, while many glacial rivers flow to the sea through the lowlands. Iceland is warmed by the Gulf Stream and has a temperate climate despite a high latitude just outside the Arctic Circle.
According to Landnámabók, the settlement of Iceland began in AD 874 when the chieftain Ingólfur Arnarson became the first permanent Norse settler on the island.[12] Others had visited the island earlier and stayed over winter. Over the following centuries, Norsemen settled Iceland, bringing with them thralls (serfs) of Gaelic origin. From 1262 to 1918 Iceland was part of the Norwegian and later the Danish monarchies. Until the 20th century, the Icelandic population relied largely on fisheries and agriculture. Industrialisation of the fisheries and Marshall Aid brought prosperity in the years after World War II. In 1994, Iceland became party to the European Economic Area, which made it possible for the economy to diversify into economic and financial services.
Iceland has a free market economy with relatively low taxes compared to other OECD countries,[13] while maintaining a Nordic welfare system providing universal health care and tertiary education for its citizens.[14] In recent years, Iceland has been one of the wealthiest and most developed nations in the world. In 2011, it was ranked as the 14th most developed country in the world by the United Nations' Human Development Index,[3] and the fourth most productive country per capita.[15] In 2008, the nation's entire banking system systemically failed and there was substantial resulting political unrest.
Icelandic culture is founded upon the nation's Norse heritage. Most Icelanders are descendants of Norse (particularly from Western Norway) and Gaelic settlers. Icelandic, a North Germanic language, is closely related to Faroese and some West Norwegian dialects. The country's cultural heritage includes traditional Icelandic cuisine, poetry, and the medieval Icelanders' sagas. Currently, Iceland has the smallest population among NATO members and is the only one with no standing army.

Come and see the overwhelming beauty of Bled. Romantic walks or a carriage ride around the lake, or a trip with a traditional pletna boat to the idyllic church on Bled island. A visit to the mighty castle on top of the vertical cliff by the lake, the nearby ski slopes, mountain hiking trails, children's events with Zaki the swan, cycling, hunting and fishing - these are just some of the things you can do in Bled. The oldest castle in Slovenia, first mentioned in a 1011 donation deed as castellum Veldes. Perched atop a steep cliff rising 130 metres above the glacial Lake Bled is a symbol of Bled and Slovenia – Bled Castle. The image of the castle forming a romantic backdrop to the two girls and the church on it has earned the resort worldwide recognition through the centuries. Castle terraces offer spectacular views of the lake and the island. There is only one island in Slovenia, but it is more beautiful and appealing than most island chains anywhere. It is situated in an Alpine lake, surrounded by picturesque mountains. For centuries it has been an enchanting symbol of the town that modern tourists are just beginning to discover and to which they often return.
The lake surrounds Bled Island, the only natural island in Slovenia.The lake is 2 km long and situated in a picturesque environment, surrounded by mountains and forests. The island has several buildings, the main one being the Pilgrimage Church of the Assumption of Mary, built in the 15th century, where weddings are held regularly. To reach the island you have to board the wooden Pletna water taxi and for a few cents it will scoot you across the loch, a tradition dating back to the 12th Century.
Het Meer van Bled is een meer in de streek Gorenjska tussen de Karawanken en de Julische Alpen in het noordwesten van Slovenië bij de plaats Bled. Het meer is 2120 m lang en 30,6 m diep. In het meer ligt een eilandje met de Maria Hemelvaartskerk uit de 9de eeuw met fresco's en een gouden altaar. Het eiland is te bereiken met een Pletna. Een Pletna is een boot, een soort gondel met een dakje en is 7 meter lang en ongeveer 2 meter breed. De bootjes varen onder andere op het meer van Bled. Het meer van Bled is bekend bij roeiers. In 1966, 1979 en in 1989 werden de wereldkampioenschappen roeien hier gehouden. Ook in 2011 vond het hier weer plaats. Op een hoge rots torent het Bled kasteel, één van de oudste kastelen uit 1004 van Slovenië, over het meer uit. Dit kasteel uit 1004 is een van de meest bezocht toeristenattracties van Slovenië. Het oudste deel van het kasteel is de romaanse toren. De gebouwen van het kasteel liggen rond twee kasteelhoven, met elkaar verbonden door een trap. Behalve het museum ook een traditionele drukkerij, wijnkelder, waar gasten hun eigen wijnfles kunnen vullen, en een kruidengalerij. Bled kasteel trekt bezoekers niet alleen met de sage en pittoreske architectuur, maar ook voor het onvergetelijke uitzicht op het meer en het bredere gebied van Gorenjska en de Julian-Alpen. In de zomer maanden is de kasteel sfeer verlevendigd door het bezoek van een aantal deelnemers aan het boogschieten toernooi, en op warme zomer avonden, worden bezoekers aangetrokken door concerten van klassieke muziek onder de sterren hemel. Rond het alpenmeer kun je uitstekend wandelen, maar je kunt er ook een bootje huren, vissen, of in de omgeving paardrijden. Bled ligt op 50 km. van Ljubljana.

The end of the Aeroshell performance. All the team planes lined up on the runway in front of the crowd, spun around and cranked out a load of smoke. What a sight!
EXPLORE: #234 October 30, 2011
Chizuko and I were fortunate enough to take advantage of an after-school program that looks after the kids from 6pm-11pm. Kind of a bulk childcare service for parents that want a night out alone.
A real win-win-win for everyone: Parents (for obvious reasons), Kids (because they *insisted* on going so they could play with their friends!), and the Sitters (who can make economies of scale on the venture, as there are 20+ kids ;-)
Chizuko and I decided, upon the recommendation of good friends, on the "Orange Hill" restaurant which is (as the name implies) on a hill overlooking all of Orange County and parts of Los Angeles.
We had an outside table with absolutely *stunning* views. Easily one of the best dinner views I've ever had.
Shot taken with my point-n-shoot Lumix LX5 of the sunset while we enjoyed a great dinner overlooking where we now live.
Orange County, California
**If you live near this place, do yourself a favor and go about an hour before sunset, and be sure to eat outside at the bar before 7pm, as you get "Happy Hour" prices not only on drinks, but on *food*. Total tab was less than 1/2 what I was expecting to pay and the food was excellent. A real 'value' considering the world-class view.
Hey! I just got back from my trip to the Finger Lakes. I'm going through my shots and trying to catch up now.... I hope you like this picture better then the phone pic I posted a few days ago ;)
Taken today on the moorland tops of the beautiful Quantock Hills, Somerset, UK.
Hope all my friends have a fabulous week! :-)

This photograph was taken just sometime after sunrise during mid of last month at Pokhara (Nepal), from a hilltop where World Peace Pagoda is located. Pokhara is very famous for its fabulous mountain views, but due to late monsoon this year, it was all cloud's play this time. The moving cloud formation in that morning created this strong sun ray beam just for a minute, where the heavenly rays came down and lit the lower hanging clouds. I was very fortunate to be on the hilltop at a POV from where I saw this amazing scene. I tried to capture the scene that you can see here, but the beauty seen in naked eye was truly out of the world!
