Holiday with the family in Paris - got a couple of moments to get out there on my own... 900 pix to sort now! Also: catching up big time! See you soon. :)
A.G. where were you!? ;-)
This was shot at 225 meter. Later I tell you more about why you better forget about Tour Montparnasse! Hehe. Btw, no photoshopping in star and beam, before you accuse/ask/wonder!
You get this with the right timing, and shutter speed around 2 seconds. The excellent Nikon 50mm f/1.4 does the (star) rest - salut!

Net terug van vakantie met de familie in Parijs. Een paar momenten kon ik solo op pad voor wat plaatjes... nu heb ik er 900 uit te zoeken! Ook weer ff de Flickr draad oppakken, tot ziens! :)
Deze is van afgelopen woensdagavond, een prachtige dag. Geschoten vanaf 225 meter hoogte - Tour Montparnasse. Geen aanrader om diverse redenen, later meer hierover.
Uiteraard heb ik niet gefotoshopt aan ster en zoeklicht. DIt krijg je met de juiste timing en een sluitertijd van rond de 2 seconden. De geweldige Nikon 50mm f/1.4 doet de rest (qua ster). Groet!

La Catedral de Burgos ó "CATEDRAL DE SANTA MARIA DE BURGOS" es un templo
que comenzo su construcción en 1221, siguiendo patrones goticos franceses.
Aunque su estilo es gotico, se aprecia en su interior elementos decorativos barrocos
y renacentistas. La construcción y las remodelaciones se realizaron con piedra
caliza extraidas del pueblo cercano de "Hontoria de la Cantera"
Fue declarada patrimonio nacional el 08/04/1885 y patrimonio de la humanidad
por la Unesco el 31 de octubre de 1984.

Aqui mi paso del analogico al formato digital:
Sempre nei pressi di Alghero, un' insenatura con dei colori d' acqua fantastici che vanno dal turchese al verde smeraldo,la particolarità del posto è data da diverse grotte, visibili anche in foto, e ancora una torre spagnola.

last month I connected with Diego for a sunrise at the coast. We headed out to Capitola in the hopes for some nice light. Upon arrival it appeared the conditions may be favorable. With minimal foreground interest coupled with great cloud movement, I went for the long exposure on this one. I really like the way the morning light was distributed throughout the scene.
I hope everyone here in the bay area is enjoying these clear blue skies. Thanks for your constant support and visits. Jave
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)

Quick picture of a young stag grazing on nettles in Boughton Monchelsea Place's deerpark, seen from the churchyard. Shot at 200mm, but cropped down to what must be an effective 800mm.
Text to follow - just catching up.
All in camera, single exposure lighting painting drawn with one bulb torch, one CREE LED and a 77mm red filter. And a decent pair of wellingtons.
Please do check it out in Lightbox - looks more compelling on black.
It's taken in the middle of the River Colne in Mill End. Light painting in the river is actually far more relaxing than you might imagine. The main worry when light painting in desolate locations at night is the fear that some misguided nutter with a hand axe will ambush you, drawn like a moth to your flailing lamps. This spot is a hundred yards along from any accessible bank, so you are screened by vegetation on all sides, out of sight, with a sizeable moat all around. Defensible.
For light painting, or any nocturnal work, I would highly recommend it. When you don't have a river, I'd suggest an invisible dog. Initially I went with "Siegfried", but have renamed him "Totem" which you can shout with a decent military bark. Simply shout for your imaginary dog now and again, perhaps interspersed with allusions to his ferocity. For example;
"Totem - get back here this minute. If you've killed another fox/moose/commando you'll be sleeping in the kennel tonight, you hyper-aggressive, 200 lb mongrel you." You get the idea.
As regards the title, I'm trying to correct an issue identified by Gregory House MD; "Physics joke[s], don't hear enough of those."
I was so thrilled to see lots of Cedar Waxwings during my trip to Dauphin Island - I think they are some of the most beautiful birds out there! I mean, you can't go wrong with a bird that looks like it is wearing eye-liner :-) The waxwings would swoop onto the trees in these big flocks and stuff themselves with fruit and berries. I've heard that sometimes they will eat so much that they go into food comas and can't move! They can even get drunk off of fermented berries which would really be a sight to see...
This week I'm going to try to post a few more birds from my Dauphin Island trip, so if you don't like bird pictures feel free to ignore my photostream! In this pic you can see parts of at least 3 waxwings if you look closely. More below...
Happy Monday!

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..

Unattended at the moment but probably belonging to a street vender, this suitcase stood proudly out front of the Saint Louis Cathedral, bordering Jackson Square, in the French Quarter.
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

La Ermita de El Rocío está situada en Almonte (Huelva). En ella se celebra anualmente la famosa Romería de El Rocío. Actualmente congrega a más de un millón de personas. Dentro de la Ermita está la Virgen del Rocío, una pequeña talla muy venerada. Su popularidad es grande en todo el mundo, ya que su veneración ha dado lugar a la romería más importante de España.

"See the animal in it's cage that you built
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?
See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all
Right where it belongs"

"Circa 200 anni fa Benjamin Franklin spiegò al mondo il segreto del suo successo: "non fare mai domani quello che puoi fare oggi"
Molti di noi dovrebbero ascoltare quello che ha detto.
Non so perchè noi procrastiniamo le cose, ma se dovessi indovinarlo direi che ha molto a che fare con la paura, paura del fallimento, paura del dolore, paura del rifiuto.
Talvolta la paura è solo quella di prendere una decisione, perchè se ti fossi sbagliato, se stessi facendo uno sbaglio irrimediabile? E nel momento in cui il dolore di non fare una cosa diventa più forte della paura di farla? Come funziona?
L’uccellino mattiniero acchiappa il verme...chi ha tempo non aspetti tempo...colui che esita è perduto!
Non possiamo far finta che non ci sia stato detto, abbiamo sentito i proverbi, abbiamo sentito i filosofi, abbiamo sentito i nostri nonni che ci ammonivano sullo spreco del tempo, abbiamo sentito i poeti maledetti che ci spingevano a prendere al volo il momento.
Dobbiamo compiere i nostri errori, dobbiamo imparare sulla nostra pelle. Dobbiamo spazzare le possibilità dell’oggi sotto il tappeto del domani, fino a che non potremo più farlo, fino a che finalmente non comprenderemo da soli quello che voleva dire Benjamin Frenklin.
Cercare risposte è meglio che farsi domande, stare svegli è meglio che dormire, e anche il più terribile fallimento, anche il peggiore, il più irrimediabile degli errori è di gran lunga preferibile a non averci provato"

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..
Un ocaso que he pillado en el vecino país Portugal y en una muy bonita ciudad llamada Miranda do Douro perteneciente a la comarca de los Arribes del Duero.

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.
Con esta serie de este precioso ocaso que he tenido la suerte de pillar en Cáceres me despido hasta el viernes ya que de nuevo me marcho esta vez a Zamora para hacer los Arribes del Duero.
Desearos a tod@s unos buenos días
Y recomendaros verlas en grande sobre fondo negro y os recuerdo que todas se pueden ver en grande y comentarlas
Hasta la vuelta

I dedicated this image to my friend Bob (Bats), in honor of his continuing stream of seemingly never ending light trails in SF images.
I took this and two more shots before being approached by a security guard and being told the overpass closes at 8:30pm… therefore finding myself kicked off. Because of this, I have thought of this as a test shot rather than a publishable image, but it has grown on me, so here it is.
I've been meaning to return, but then I'm meaning to do a lot of things…
