Times Square is a major commercial intersection in the borough of Manhattan in New York City, at the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue and stretching from West 42nd to West 47th Streets. The extended Times Square area, also called the Theatre District, consists of the blocks between Sixth and Eighth Avenues from east to west, and West 40th and West 53rd Streets from south to north, making up the western part of the commercial area of Midtown Manhattan.
Formerly named Longacre Square, Times Square was renamed in April 1904 after The New York Times moved its headquarters to the newly erected Times Building, which is now called One Times Square and is the site of the annual ball drop on New Year's Eve. Times Square, nicknamed 'The Crossroads of the World' and 'The Great White Way', has achieved the status of an iconic world landmark and is a symbol of New York City and the United States.
The northern triangle of Times Square is technically Duffy Square, dedicated in 1937 to Chaplain Francis P. Duffy of New York City's "Fighting 69th" Infantry Regiment; a memorial to Duffy is located there, along with a statue of George M. Cohan, and the TKTS discount theatre tickets booth. The stepped red roof of the TKTS booth also provides seating for various events. The Duffy Statue and the square were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.
Times Square has been featured countless times in literature, on television, in films – including the 1980 film Times Square, which featured a punk rock/new wave soundtrack – in music videos and recently in video games. An immediately recognizable setting, Times Square has been frequently attacked and destroyed in a number of movies, including Knowing, when a solar flare destroys New York City, Deep Impact, when a tsunami created from a meteor impact destroys New York City, Stephen King's The Stand, where the intersection is overcome by total anarchy, and Transformers; Revenge of the Fallen. Films have also employed the opposite tactic, depicting the typically bustling area as eerily still, such as in Vanilla Sky, as well as the post-apocalyptic I Am Legend, in which Will Smith and his dog go hunting for deer in the deserted urban canyon. Times Square was also depicted in the 2011 movie, New Year's Eve.

Firstly, a very happy new years to everybody!!
Its great to be back on Flickr after a long break. I had a very eventful and exciting road trip across some of the most untouched parts of India. It was a great experience to say the least but our car broke down a couple of times and we wasted a lot of time trying to get the vehicle repaired. But on the whole, it was a fascinating journey and I will be sharing some of the picture with you in the coming days.
We ended our trip in Goa, which is arguably the party capital of India. We spent our new years eve with a bunch of friends in Goa before heading back home. The image you see if from the new years eve, the last sunset of the year 2011.
This is when we bid goodbyes to the year 2011 only to welcome the new year, which brings a lot of surprising and exciting times ahead of us.
Hope all of you have a wonderful year ahead, filled with joy and excitement. I will catchup with your streams today.
Thanks to all of you for your comments, favorites, invites and inspiration in 2011.
Wishing everyone all the best in 2012.

The Grossglockner High Alpine Road is a panoramic road in Austria. The most famous route through the Alps ends just before the jewel in the Hohe Tauern national park's crown: the highest mountain and the largest glacier in Austria, the Großglockner 3,798 m and its glacier, the Pasterze. You will have a driving and nature experience of a special kind on 48 kilometres of high alpine road with 36 bends, and an altitude ascent to 2,504 metres! You pass through a unique world of mountains with blossoming alpine meadows, fragrant mountain forests, massive cliffs and eternal ice to the foot of the Grossglockner, the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe.
The Grossglockner high Alpine road in Austria is 48 kilometers of pure driving pleasure. The route is described in the brochure as a Bikers Heaven. The Großglockner Hochalpenstraße Road was built between 1930 and 1935, to fight unemployment and boost tourism in Salzburg. It is in within the Nationalpark Hohe Tauern. Closed in winter until end of October to beginning of May. Photo taken from the car park of the Edelweisspitze. A beautiful panoramic view on the Fuscher Törl, a 2428 meters high mountain pass.
De Großglockner Hochalpenstraße is één van de mooiste bergwegen ter wereld en zeker de moeite waard om te bezichtigen. Deze panoramische tolweg verbindt de deelstaat Salzburg met Karinthië. De 47,8 km lange weg leidt middenin het Hohe Tauern National Park naar de hoogste berg van Oostenrijk, de Großglockner 3.798m en zijn gletsjer, de Pasterze. De Pasterzegletsjer is wel 10 km lang en heeft een oppervlakte van bijna 20 m2. De Großglockner Alpenstraße voert je door een wild en rotsachtig landschap. Maar liefst 36 haarspeldbochten zorgen ervoor dat je uiteindelijk tot een hoogte van 2.504 meter stijgt. Tijdens de rit wordt je getrakteerd op adembenemende uitzichten. Ook kun je genieten van de aanblik van enkele honderden bergtoppen van boven de 3.000 meter. Onderweg op de Großglockner Alpenstraße kun je eventueel stoppen bij verschillende uitzichtplaatsen en informatiepunten. Voor kinderen zijn er speeltuintjes en ook is het mogelijk om in echte sneeuw te spelen. Er zijn tevens 2 kabelbanen die je de mogelijkheid bieden om nog meer van de mooie omgeving te bekijken.

16/12/2011 TK BREMEN, navire échoué sur la plage d' Erdeven dans le Morbihan, dont toutes les chaines d'actualités parlent en ce moment. Cette photo a été prise de nuit vers les 22H00, face au navire, avec une mer quelque peu formée ce soir là, d'où le flouté des vagues sur la gauche. L'ambiance qui en ressort est assez mitigée car la photo est belle, mais le symbole l'est beaucoup moins, à cause des répercutions écologiques. Etant donné l'intérêt et à la fois le dégoût qu'ont les habitants pour ce bateau, il était important pour nous de le mettre en image, et d'en garder une trace en l'état car les autorités entament des mesures pour le démanteler.
Il a fallu trouver l' axe adéquate pour palier au problème de surexposition dû aux spots halogènes du pont qui gâchaient toutes les photos de coté.

"In the shadow of the city, the light glows brightest."
I took this shot right before I left for Hawaii and I felt like taking a break from seascapes. I went for 6 shots with the camera in the portrait position. I overlap by about 1/5 of a frame when capturing the panoroma. I do this because when it comes time to stitch, I want as much source image as possible to sample from to take out those infamous trails in the water from the constant ferry, coastguard, and freighter traffic around the island. I do my stitching in Photoshop CS5 on the “reposition” setting. After the rendering is complete, I look for the seams and then I overlay the original source image on top of the panoramic image and mask in where the seams are visible. At least with lines in the water, after you get the knack of it, its quite forgiving. Sometimes the reflections can make it look like there's a seam where there isn't because of the way light hits the miniwaves and currents. The hard stuff is when you have a weird seam on hard structures such as building and bridges. The reason for this is in water or sky, often you can mask away the hard line in the seam at 100% opacity then feather it out by reducing the opacity of your brush. You can’t do that for hard objects, if you do you’ll wind up with transparent building and the like - not too pretty. I’m definitely better at the process than I was a year ago, so its all practice. Don’t forget to zoom in at 100%+ to look for the smallest seams. Panoramas can be ton’s of pixels and even the smallest seam gets big once you’ve printed it 20x60 inches!
The side-effects to using 7 shots to create the panorama is that it takes 3 min to make all the exposures and the light will change during that time unless a pure nighttime shot. To accentuate this I started on the right side where I knew it would be brightest (also where most of the ocean traffic comes from so you can stay ahead of them) and moved to the left. I did play with ISO slightly to adjust exposure as I panned left to keep the things close in terms of brightness. But I wanted it to be dark and glowy on the left. If you don’t, or have different lighting situations, pan the other way for more even light - you’ll start in the dark area when it’s brightest and move to the light area when it’s darkest. Changing the ISO only changes the noise level and not water smoothness (shutter speed) nor DoF (aperture) and with the 5D II, anything below 320 looks very very similar unless when viewed at 100+%.
Thanking you in advance for your views/comments/favs =)

♫ Chris Garneau - Leaving Song.♫
Fotografía unida a esta canción de mi cantante revelación del año.
Cuando la gente que daba luz a la vida, se va, te sientes abandonado.
En 1998 la Fundación Global Nature inició las gestiones para la recuperación de la Laguna de Boada ( foto) , distante a tan sólo 11 kilómetros de la Laguna de la Nava ( foto) y con unas características ecológicas muy similares a este humedal.
Con el apoyo del ayuntamiento de Boada y el Ministerio de Medio Ambiente están ya inundadas 60 hectáreas del humedal.
Se pueden observar los miles de aves acuáticas que visitan esta laguna, especialmente el ánsar común, ya que este humedal es la tercera zona más importante dentro de España, con un contingente anual de entre 10.000 Y 12. 000 ejemplares.
Miles de aves acuáticas se establecen todos los inviernos en las lagunas de La Nava y Boada; ánades reales, cercetas comunes y patos cucharas
Durante la primavera y verano, avefrías, cigüeñelas, archibebes y fochas sacan a delante sus polladas en las aguas someras del humedal.
Antes del otoño varios miles de pequeñas aves como mosquiteros, carriceros o golondrinas se alimentan y descansan en los arroyos y la vegetación palustre.
Las vastas extensiones cerealistas que rodean ambas lagunas son el hábitat de una interesante comunidad de aves esteparias. Especies como la avutarda, ortega, aguilucho cenizo o calandria encuentran en esta zona un hábitat único dentro de Europa.
Photo attached to this song of my singer revelation of the year.
When people who gave light to life, is gone, you feel abandoned.
In 1998, the Global Nature Foundation initiated steps for the recovery of Boada Lake( photo ) , distant only 11 km from the Laguna de la Nava ( photo ) and ecological characteristics very similar to this wetland.
With the support of the City of Boada and the Ministry of Environment already flooded 60 hectares of wetland.
You can see the thousands of waterfowl that visit this lake, especially the common goose, and that this wetland is the third most important area in Spain, with an annual quota of 10,000 and 12. 000.
Thousands of waterfowl down every winter in the lagoons of La Nava and Boada, mallards, teal and ducks spoons
During the spring and summer, lapwings, stilts, coots redshanks and bring to front their brood in the shallow waters of the wetland.
Before the fall several thousand small birds such as mosquito nets, warblers and swallows feed and rest in the creeks and marsh vegetation.
The vast cereal that surround both lakes are home to an interesting community of steppe birds. Species such as the Great Bustard, Sandgrouse, Montagu's harrier or calendar are in this area a unique habitat in Europe..
This was the sunrise over Seattle this morning, my friends. It was one of the most phenomenal sunrises I had seen in months. You can see Mount Rainier, Washington State’s tallest mountain (and dormant volcano) that dominates the horizon on unbelievably clear days such as this one.
An impromptu decision to curtail my morning workout at the gym gave way to serendipity, which led me to capture this image today. If I had followed my regular routine this morning, I would have completely missed this.
This image was taken from the balcony of my apartment. Enjoy!

I love our northern light, with its softness of tone and colour. Near objects, like the stones above, appear sharp and detailed whilst those only slightly distant are hazily soft and recede in paleness.
Taken by Crummock Water, Buttermere
*Crummock Water is two and a half miles long, three quarters of a mile wide and 140ft deep. The River Cocker is considered to start at the north of the lake, before then heading into Lorton Vale. The hill of Mellbreak runs the full length of the lake on its western side; as Alfred Wainwright described it 'no pairing of hill and lake in Lakeland have a closer partnership than these'.
It is owned by the National Trust.

Here is another shot from our trip to the backwaters in Kerala. this is what people living in these areas see on a daily basis. The beautiful Sunset across the array of coconut tress makes for an enchanting scene and for me, a first time visitor to this part of the world, it was nothing less than magical.
On the technical front, I'm not completely happy with this image. The light was too harsh and was difficult to handle the exposure. This is the best I could achieve after processing it but some good GND filters would have made my life easier and I'm planning to invest in them something soon.
Have a wonderful day ahead, my friends.

Even if the water rises to consume us, I will love you.
Even if the might of the skies envelope us with anger, I will love you.
Even if the wind blows us to directions far and unreachable, I will love you.. forever.
A bit of Autumn's last glory!! I know the title sounds 'sad' but I'm not sad at all! Just love that song! :-)
Happy Bokeh Wednesday!

La Torre de Celas es el único resto que se conserva de una fortaleza medieval construida en el siglo XIV. Fue destruida por los Irmandiños y reconstruida en el siglo XV, siendo sus propietarios más ilustres los Condes de Andrade.
En la actualidad solo queda en pie la torre, con doce metros de altura; restaurada en 1992, es sede del Museo Etnográfico del Ayuntamiento de Culleredo.
La Torre de Celas is what remains of a medieval fortress built in the 14th century; it was destroyed by the "Irmandiños" and rebuilt in the 15th century.
At present there is only the tower left, twelve metres high; restaured in 1992, it is the Ethnographic Museum of Culleredo.

A kaleidoscope is a circle of mirrors containing loose, colored objects such as beads or pebbles and bits of glass. As the viewer looks into one end, light entering the other end creates a colorful pattern, due to the reflection off the mirrors.
This is a processed photograph where a single photo is twirled at Photoshop and then mirrored twice to give a kaleidoscope effect.Thanks Evan for the tutorial!

Instantanea tomada junto al puente "neuf" sobre el rio "Agoût" que refleja en sus
aguas los colores de las viviendas colgantes, que dan un toque magistral a esta
encantadora ciudad francesa.
Para captar todo el ancho del rio, y la gran profundidad de campo hacia el puente
viejo, utilizé una lente ultra gran angular, "Sigma 10 ÷ 20 mm EX DC"
El mejor momento para "inmortalizar" este bellisimo paraje, es durante las puestas
de sol, donde las ultimas luces hacen proyectar el cielo, las nubes y los colores de
las casas en las placidas aguas del Agoût, brindando un momento fotografico unico.
