It's funny how things come together at times. It was the last morning of my vacation. I get my 4 a.m. wake up call from the roosters. I get up look out the window and it's pouring rain. I'm thinking to myself what a way to enjoy my last day on vacation. I get back into bed, and lie there for the next hour listening to the roosters just hoping and wishing for the rain to stop. 5 a.m. comes around and it's still raining. What should I do? Should I get up and go? Should I just stay in bed and go back to sleep? All these thoughts are going through my head. I'm making myself mental!
I decide to get up and go. I make my 15min drive to the location. It's still raining with no signs of any breaks. I get to the parking lot, look to the east. Rain......a lot of rain. I get back into the truck and sit for the next half an hour watching the rain contemplating if I should stay or leave. Wait.......I see a break on the horizon. The sky has a real faint glow, but it's at least a 15 min hike down to the beach. The trail down to the beach here is very steep. If it has been raining, forget about it. The trail is slick and muddy. There wouldn't be enough time to get down to the beach, so I decide to go with my plan B; shoot from the cliffs. I make my way slowly down the trail. I'm slipping and sliding all over the place. I get to the spot where I want to be at, I set up, and start shooting. The scene at this point is dark and moody with subtle light on the horizon. After a few frames the rain starts really coming down. I tried to stick it out in the rain for as long as I could but it was just too much. I pack my gear up in defeat. The conditions weren't in my favor this time around, but it's ok.......I've got great light at this location 4 days in row! ;-)
I make my way back up the trail, I take one last look at this killer view and all of a sudden I see this glow on the sea cliffs. The glow starts to get more intense, I can't say the curses that came out of my mouth, but I was swearing up a storm as I ran back down the trail slipping and sliding all over the place. The heart pounding heavy breathing intensity that was going through my body was crazy. The light started illuminating the shore line as if someone had slowly open the blinds in a room that was dark. When I was focusing in live view at x10 I could see the sunlight piercing through the rain! It was one of the most incredible scenes that I have seen. I would say this was a great way to start the morning.
Quando la vita scorre ..
D’un tratto t’accorgi…
Che il mondo…
Puo’ essere anche rovescio…
.... riscoprilo..
Nella semplicità delle cose…
con il cuore da bambino....

Aprovechando una de las mareas más bajas del año, con un coeficiente de 115, nos juntamos Manel, José Ramón, Situco y su mujer en la playa de Somo, para fotografiar un pequeño barco, hundido hace más de 30 años, que sólo es visible con marea baja.
Para acabar la sesión hicimos una foto de grupo, con las potentes linternas "led Lenser" utilizando varios modelos, la X21, M7, P7 y H7

On our way back from a trip to Mount Rainier we drove past this lake scene as the sun was setting and the light was changing rapidly. We immediately pulled over and made a mad dash to catch this moment of serendipity before it was gone.
I hope all of you had a great summer. Now that fall has arrived I'm eagerly looking forward to the changing of the leaves. Viva la camera! :)

I've been so damn lazy the last few days. I just couldn't get myself to do anything. I feel like taking a vacation... but the funny part is that I got back from a vacation just a month ago :))
Here is another shot from our trip to Cambodia. We went for a day trip out to the floating villages /forest and on the way we came across this really lovely lotus farm. What made this an even more interesting location was the dark rain clouds in the background! The umbrella of course adds a dash of color!
I hope you guys are having a good time this week and I hope I don't feel so lazy any more.
I look forward to catching up with your photos. Be good, everyone!
La Región de Murcia tiene un relieve variado y de grandes contrastes, que da lugar a una gran diversidad de paisajes en los que coexisten importantes zonas montañosas con llanuras, valles y costas.
La Cordillera Penibética comprende las sierras meridionales de la región. Son de poca altitud, llegan hasta el mismo mar y dan un litoral alto y recortado.

To say Portland has quite a few bicyclists is an understatement. I don’t know the exact percentage but it would be fair to guess there is probably a cyclist for every person owning a camera of some sort (the gross amount of Portland photographers is another story).
Most of them know their road rights and will prove it if you happen to cut them off. As you walk the streets of Portland, depending on how long you roam, you will probably hear a cyclist or two cursing a motorist for infringing on their space. The screaming and yelling has become so common I don’t notice it anymore. It’s like listening to the adults on a Charlie Brown cartoon: all I hear is “wah waaah wah waaah wah waaaahhhh.”
I can see their point, though. After all, it is common knowledge there have been quite a few deaths because of motorists not paying attention to the cycle lanes. There are “ghost bikes” in place representing a person who was killed at that particular spot. Cyclists are constantly on guard to make sure they are seen so they don’t become a victim themselves. I am sympathetic to their plight. I guess I would be even more sympathetic if a lot of those same cyclists obeyed all of the rules of the road, too.
I can’t tell you how many close calls I’ve had with cyclists who seem to think the “bicycles yield to pedestrians” signs are merely for decoration. Just at Portland’s Waterfront Park alone most of the cyclists go way too fast, weaving in and around pedestrians even though there are signs in place requiring all cyclists to slow down. A sign was posted in a construction zone requiring all cyclists to “Walk Their Bikes” because the walkway had been narrowed due to the construction fence. I didn’t see a single cyclist walk their bike. They road through as if the walkway was at it’s original width. Also, I’ve noticed many cyclists like to run red lights and stop signs. A cyclist kicked my wife’s bumper at a 4-way stop because he felt the front of her car was penetrating his crossing lane. Turns out it was her turn to go anyway because he failed to stop (as the law requires) at his stop sign, first.
I believe this picture tells it like it is. They know the cycling laws that protect them! They may not care what the law requires of them but they certainly care what the law requires of YOU. Some of them would probably run you over if you happened to wander into their cycling lane. If not, they would at least brush your shoulder as they passed by to let you know they weren’t happy with you.
Just sayin’. =)

في مثل هذا اليوم من كل عام تمر بنا ذكرى اليوم الوطني للمملكة العربية السعودية .
وهي ذكرى بالنسبة لنا تعني الأنطلاقة التاريخية الموفقه . على يد المؤسس المغفور له
أن شاء الله تعالى الملك عبد العزيز بن عبد الرحمن آل سعود .
تلك الأنطلاقة النموذجية . الفاعله .التي من خلالها تم إرساء قواعد البناء بشكل متميز
أدى الى تحقيق جميع التطلعات . حيث شهدت على ضوء ذلك . بلادنا الغالية منذ ذلك اليوم تقدما حضاريا
واسع النطاق على كافة المستويات والمجالات .
وأصبحت المملكة العربية السعودية في مصاف الدول المتقدمة . بل ومن أهم وأبرز دول العالم .
مواكبة للتقدم الحضاري حريصة على بناء الوطن والمواطن .
ذلك البناء . وذلك العطاء . وذلك الأهتمام لم يقتصر على النهضة الصناعية او العمرانية او الزراعية او التعليمية
فحسب بل هي نهضة شاملة . راقية . عادلة . وموفقه .بعون الله ثم بجهود وتوجيهات حكومتنا الرشيدة العادله
قبل 75 عاما توحدت أرجاء هذا الوطن المعطاء وهي عبارة عن صحراء قاحلة . موحشه . تفتقر مقومات التنمية
وامكانيات النهوض . ولكن التصور العميق . والنظرة الثاقبة . والكلمة الصادقة . والتوجهات العادلة . عانقت مؤسسها
منذ اللحظة الأولى . الأمر الذي ساهم بشكل كبير الى تفعيل الأفكار والخطط المرسومة .
فانطلقت قافلة الخير ولاسلام في أرض الخير والسلام تحت شعار( لاإله إلا الله محمد رسول الله ) تدفعها الجهود المخلصه
والنوايا السليمة والأراء المتظافرة . وقد أعطى المغفور له أن شاء الله تعالى الملك عبد العزيز جل أهتماماته
وأمكانياته لمايخدم تلك المسيرة التاريخية الناجحة .
وقد كان لأبناءه الأشاوس من بعده عظيم الأثر في أستمرارية البناء بالشكل الذي يلبي مطلب الوطن والمواطن على
حد سوى.
أسال الله عز وجل ان يديم علي بلادنا الطاهرة امنها ويجنبها شر الحاقدين

"... D'espacio sin apurarme
y, con alma de cantor,
voy orejeando la flor
que la tierra quiso darme...
Siempre me gustó hamacarme
al compás de lo que tocan...
De apurao hay quién desoca
el caballo que más quiere
y ansina el mesmo se hiere
como el pescao por la boca ..."

This is a tribute to one of my most beloved italian singer and songwriter...........Lucio Dalla, who died 3 days ago..
I lost a piece of youth:(
If you wish you can click on the notes to listen to some of his songs!
Testo 4 Marzo 1943 Lucio Dalla
Dice che era un bell'uomo e veniva
veniva dal mare
parlava un'altra lingua
pero' sapeva amare
e quel giorno lui prese mia madre
sopra un bel prato
l'ora più dolce
prima d'essere ammazzato
Cosi' lei resto' sola nella stanza
la stanza sul porto
con l'unico vestito
ogni giorno più corto
e benchè non sapesse il nome
e neppure il paese
m'aspetto' come un dono d'amore
fino dal primo mese
Compiva sedici anni
quel giorno la mia mamma
le strofe di taverna
le cantò a ninna nanna
e stringendomi al petto che sapeva
sapeva di mare
giocava a far la donna
con il bimbo da fasciare
E forse fu per gioco
o forse per amore
che mi volle chiamare
come nostro Signore
Della sua breve vita il ricordo
il ricordo più grosso
e' tutto in questo nome
che io mi porto addosso
E ancora adesso che gioco a carte
e bevo vino
per la gente del porto mi chiamo
Gesù Bambino
E ancora adesso che gioco a carte
e bevo vino
per la gente del porto io sono
Gesu'Bambino
E ancora adesso che gioco a carte
e bevo vino
per la gente del porto mi chiamo
Gesu' Bambino

Piccola curiosità: la distanza che ci separa dalla Galassia di Andromeda è di circa 2 milioni e 400mila anni luce. Quindi la luce che ho catturato con una moderna macchina fotografica è partita da Andromeda quando l'uomo sulla Terra non esisteva ancora, ma erano presenti solo alcune colonie di ominidi nel cuore dell'Africa. ;)
Another shot from the recent holiday in Turkey. One for lightbox, really, if you want to bring out some interesting distant light trails as the taller yachts come into harbour. Göcek is a super place for long exposure shots of an evening, as it is full of boards, posts, walls and other improvised tripods. This was taken on just such a wall.
Much of Göcek is given over to yachts (in the discreetly named "Mega Yacht Super Marina"), but in middle of everything this quirkly little plank pier still stands to moor small local craft. Ten minutes after the last boat trip gets back in you see a little swarm of pancake, ice cream and similar vessels all dock here - having spent the day pursuing the tourist fleet like seagulls (with an inverted business model).
My favourite part of the image is the funny underwater sail suggested by the reflected lights to the left. It's not as pronounced as I'd hoped, yet I also like the way the blur of the boats diminishes as you move back in the frame. Hope everyone's having a great week!
303 second exposure.
Il Lake Louise è un lago dell'Alberta, Canada. Il colore verde smeraldo è dovuto alla “farina di roccia” (rock flour) depositata dai ghiacciai che si affacciano sul lago.

This shot is from a solo mission I did in Davenport back in May. I had to get down and dirty here by taking off my shoes and standing in a rush of freezing water. I was treated to some really nice light and I couldn't believe I was the only one out here.
I also took a long exposure and as I was about to hit my cable release, a large dog brushed up against me and scared the LIVING &^%$ out of me; thus hitting my tripod and screwing up the long exposure. It's all good, I was just happy it wasn't the Loch Ness monster. I hope you are enjoying your week and may the light be with you where ever you are. Jave
Cueva de la Fuente del Francés ( a través del espejo). / Cave of Source of the French . ( Flip horizontal).
♫ Múm - Green Grass Of Tunnel . ♫
Fotografía dedicada a C., pues mis imágenes no están completas sin su poética prosa.
Para acompañar, la música del grupo islandés Múm, en un maravilloso video.
En Hoznayo se encuentra la Fuente del Francés, que fue un balneario de aguas termales en el siglo XIX.
La leyenda cuenta que un abate francés, huyendo de los horrores de la Revolución, vino a parar a estos parajes, ocultándose en la cueva. Y dicen que, de tanto llorar, sus ojos vinieron a irritarse de tal manera que le causaron un mal de la vista. Pero, en una ocasión notó que lavándoselos con las aguas de la fuente, sus ojos sanaron. De ahí el descubrimiento de las virtudes de las aguas y del nombre del lugar.
Photography dedicated to C., because my photos are not complete without her poetic prose.
To accompany, the music of Icelandic group Múm, in a wonderful video.
In the village of Hoznayo is the Source of the French, it was a hot springs resort in the nineteenth century.
Legend has it that a French Abbe, fleeing the horrors of the Revolution, came to stop these places, hiding in the cave. From time to mourn, his eyes Abbe irritararon and caused a bad view. But once he noticed that washing with water from the source, his eyes healed. Hence, the discovery of the virtues of water and place name.
...per alcuni, i sogni determinano l''inizio di uno spazio senza tempo, dove ogni cosa è possibile perchè impalpabile. Non inquinabile dalla realtà.
Per alcuni altri, per me, il sogno è parte della vita stessa...

This was the first sunrise of our trip to the Canadian Rockies. This morning was incredibly calm and full of beauty. The air penetrated the soul and the silence in the still of the night me you feel one with, the soft occasional breeze. I've experienced many uplifting daybreaks but this is going to have a special place in the halls of my memory. It was so special in part because of the fantastic company. This morning was shared with my friend Marino Gonzalez and my brother Panta. Thank you for making this an unforgettable morning and a memorable trip.
We where dreaming of shooting the stars, but the first light came too soon. The dark cloud above made photographing the sunrise very contrasty. We where hoping the first light would color this big sheet of cloud but it did not happen. Nonetheless I feel this image captured the stillness of the moment. Hope you all enjoy this, the same way I did as I stood here breathless and in peace.
I want to share a singer I've come to know recently, Trijntje Oosterhuis.
The Look Of Love, Hope you enjoy it.
Dedicated to a wonderful friend in Dominican Republic Cesar Pinedo.
Hope you all have a wonderful long weekend!

El lilium era la flor sagrada para los asirios y fue cultivada con primor en los jardines de Babilonia.
