One more of the old APS film scans from a decade back when we were living in China. Another one which could have done with a slightly better composition to take advantage of the mad chemical fish. I have no idea if they are natural. The same market was selling luminous green and pink chicks - so I am certain there's something unsettlingly fabricated about these chaps.

 

The colours are as shot, bar the print/scan element of the process. I looked at playing with vibrance/saturation, but it wasn't needed and the image was so degraded that the pixels wouldn't tolerate tweaks. Really strange beasts - if anyone knows what they are, please drop me a note. I'd be really interested to know.

 

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Seattle, with a population of 609,000, is the 23rd largest city in the United States. The 24th largest city is the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. (or what Seattleites call “the other Washington”).

 

Some trivia:

 

Washington State is the only state named after a U.S. president, and the only state in the western US with an English name. All the surrounding states and their neighbors have names derived from either Spanish or Native American origin.

 

There is only one “Seattle” on the planet. No other city or town in the world shares its name.

It was a misty and foggy evening with the moon peeking out. The light was not looking good at the beach so this was my backup plan. No HDR necessary when the scene is evenly lit!

Story:

---------------------------------------------------------

 

There are many great photographic vantage points in San Francisco. So when I'm there for a sunset,it is really hard to choose from the vast and comprehensive menu! Parking can be a bit of a challenge though, even at night.

 

The only difficult thing about making this picture were the sea lions that were constantly swimming by making patterns in the water. Even on these 30-second exposures, the patterns are obvious and can spoil the smooth reflections. So I waited for the wakes to calm down and shot between them since I only get about 4 minutes where the moonlight, sunset light and city lights are even. There was also a human swimmer but when he saw me he courteously stayed away with the sea lions circling him. They seem to be friendly.

 

Actually there is one long sea lion trail that is just below the boat in the center. I'll mark it with a note. And if you ever go to San Francisco, try the Ghirardelli Chocolate!

 

The map shows exactly where this is. It was taken from the Municipal pier at the end of Van Ness Ave.

Simply the best way to scout out locations that there is. You can see sun angles and pre-visualize light under lots of different conditions. Sometimes you can actually pre-compose your shots! This has saved me many thousands of vertical feet of climbing by avoiding spots with blocked views etc.

do you ever go through slumps? i'm so slumpering right now.

 

picking up the camera and taking photos has slipped so far back on my Want To Do list. i can't sort out if it's because we're so damn busy with several large Life Things at the moment or if it's just one of those times where photography sort of naturally takes it's turn on the back burner.

 

i always carry my camera with me - that's still the case. but i just don't take it out as much these days. even when i see something i know could become a stellar shot. i got a macro lens about a month ago and have shamefully hardly utilized it. and taking self portraits? dear god, that sounds just full of allllll sorts of hassle and the antithesis of fun. i'd honestly rather take pictures of clouds day after day than pictures of myself. where, oh where, has my vanity gone? ;)

 

i suppose i can partially chalk up my lack of interest to having a parent in the hospital for several weeks and subsequent recovery, house hunting and all the stress that brings, and the fact that i'm going to have a baby in 3 months time (eeeek!!!).

 

but still. i miss it dammit. and this place, too. i love it when the stars align and everything you shoot looks and feels great and you can't want to get on here and post and comment and just enjoy.

 

i'm sure it will all return soon enough. ebbs and flows and all that jazz.

So fixing my hair didn't work apparently :P

  

I was gonna write about how my hair is the result of a ton of backcombing and only 1 hairgrip, but then I realised I edited the poop out of it anyway so it wouldn't exaclty be truthful. It was pretty tall though...just not this tall...

 

I might add more details to this photo, 'cause I have a few more ideas for it, but I wanted to post it already.

 

You can probably see that Flickr sharpened the shit out of it. I don't mind...

If you don't know yet, Wage got a dog and life with Uglydog is fun. He eats, he jumps, he fetches, he eats, he chews on furniture, he chases squirrels, he eats. All to be expected. But there is one thing I didn't expect. Wage finally stopped saying "bite me" every time I ask him for anything. He is afraid Uglydog, who is always around, may take it literally.

I'm quite sure that this is an unusual view of the Golden Gate Bridge! This was taken at Fort Point and I was delighted to find the photographer's portal in the chain link fence!! I wasn't the only one using it by the way! As you can see, the omnipotent fog is present!!

 

Take a closer look through that hole!

Blythe Physical Challenge #27 - Celebrating Blythe: you are something special!

 

We are celebrating one year of Blythe Physical Challenge Group!

But it is a double celebration because it's also the 200th day of my 365 project.

 

So here is Daphne, my Kozy, the girl I used for my first BPC a whole year ago. And Edna, my Goldie, who is celebrating 200 days of her solo 365.

 

We have a hot chocolate complete with squirty cream, and muffins; one is toffee apple flavour and the other is cherry.

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.

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)

خاطرة شوق وحنين

قلبي يغرق ويبحر في طريق مظلم يد بعيده كآبه من حرمة الحضن الهنيء الدافىء من قلب صافي من حنان من عيون ويد تدعوني لها كمل أنا بشوق لهذه الاحاسيس .. حقيقه من يمكن ان يحصل على هذه الاحاسيس أتوقع أنه سيكون سعيد في حياته ياليتني احصل عليها ربما حصلت على الشخص لكن لا يحسسني بأنه قريب مني لا يمنحني هذه المشاعر شعور غريب يحسسني بلهفه والشوق اليه ... هذه بعض المشاعر التي اختنقت في قلبي ولم اعرف كيف اشكوها لإنسان ما ولكن يدي تخط لكم بعض الهموم التي في قلبي همي هو أنني بعيده عن الإنسانه التي أعتبرتها هي روحي التي أشكي لها همي وحرماني التي نورت حياتي والتي أبهجت قلبي وفجأه ترحل عني ... الفراق أصعب شيء على المرء ولكن الأصعب منه هو أنك كيف ستعيش من بعد هذا الفراق ياليتها تأتي وتحي روحي التي ماتت من بعد فراقها الله ياربي مالي سواك أشكي له فأنت المستجيب إذا دعيناك ... فأكون أسعد انسانه اكون جسد بروح بعدما كنت جسد بلا روح ورده بأوراق .. لو لم يكن هناك لحظه فراق لكنت البنت السعيده المرحه التي اعتادوا علي اصدقائي ولا البنت البائسه اليأسه من بعد ذلك الفراق ..... اواه ياربي اجبني مالي سواك من مرتجى أذهب همومي كلها وأتي إلي بالهنا

 

In case you are tired of seeing Half Dome, it isn't in this photo!!

 

I stayed one extra day in Yosemite after everyone else had left so that I could hike the Mist Trail and to get around to other locations in the Valley I might have missed. Since I came the farthest, I needed to maximize my time in the park!!

 

Kevin told me that some weather was moving in and that I would probably see some epic clouds. He wasn't kidding. The clouds were totally epic, so epic that Half Dome was entirely obscured!

 

It did make an appearance, briefly; but I am uploading that image later! Note: time image taken is listed as CST (forget to change the camera time). Real time this was taken was two hours earlier at 7:18!

Film.

I've run out of good pictures to show you. Hopefully I will get some I like this week. I was hoping for some sunny spring today, but it's not. It is overcast and wet. You see I don't mind rain, but it isn't even doing that. It is just dark and then every once and awhile it rains for five minutes. :(

 

Anyway, I hope you have a happy Easter.

 

P.S. I have difficulty titling pictures that don't portray any emotion to me. That is why these past couple photos have been untitled.

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..

ZLATIBOR is a mountain of exquisite beauty. It has pleasant and mild climate, large clearings, exuberant pastures intersected with mountains with mountain streams and pine trees - which this mountain is named for.

The average hight is about 1000m above sea level.

Mountain and sea gulfs encounter here which speed up the curing and the recovering from large number of lung and heart illnesses, especially from illnesses of thyroid gland and anemia.

 

The Balkans is the historical name of a geographic region of southeastern Europe. The region takes its name from the Balkan Mountains, which run through the centre of Bulgaria into eastern Serbia. The region has a combined area of 550,000 km2 (212,000 sq mi) and a population of about 55 million people.

The ancient Greek name for the Balkan Peninsula was “the Peninsula of Haemus” (Χερσόνησος του Αίμου, Chersónisos tou Aímou).

The Balkans are adjoined by water on three sides: the Black Sea to the east and branches of the Mediterranean Sea to the south and west (including the Adriatic, Ionian, Aegean and Marmara seas).

 

The identity of the Balkans is dominated by its geographical position; historically the area was known as a crossroads of various cultures. It has been a juncture between the Latin and Greek bodies of the Roman Empire, the destination of a massive influx of pagan Slavs, an area where Orthodox and Catholic Christianity met, as well as the meeting point between Islam and Christianity.

 

The Balkans today is a very diverse ethno-linguistic region, being home to multiple Slavic, Romance, and Turkic languages, as well as Greek, Albanian, and others. Through its history many other ethnic groups with their own languages lived in the area, among them Thracians, Illyrians, Romans, Uzes, Pechenegs, Cumans, Avars, Celts, Germans, and various Germanic tribes.

 

The Balkan region was the first area of Europe to experience the arrival of farming cultures in the Neolithic era. The practices of growing grain and raising livestock arrived in the Balkans from the Fertile Crescent by way of Anatolia, and spread west and north into Pannonia and Central Europe.

 

In pre-classical and classical antiquity, this region was home to Greek city-states, Illyrians, Paeonians, Thracians, Epirotes, Mollosians, Thessalians, Dacians and other ancient groups. Later the Roman Empire conquered most of the region and spread Roman culture and the Latin language but significant parts still remained under classical Greek influence. During the Middle Ages, the Balkans became the stage for a series of wars between the Byzantine, Bulgarian and Serbian Empires.

The abandoned Shooters Waterfront Cafe in Providence, Rhode Island.

 

Shooters Waterfront Cafe

 

Shooter’s, part of a national chain of casual waterfront dining and dancing venues, was in a three-story building that could accommodate nearly 1,600 patrons. The 25,000-square-foot complex featured dockside dining, a waterfront pool, bars inside and outside, a top-floor restaurant and a 90-slip marina. One of its incarnations included a boat valet. It cost $6 million to build in 1990.

 

The waterfront nightclub overlooking Narragansett Bay operated under many different names in its 10 year lifespan. It was also known as Waterline, Bombers and Bootleggers. It closed down in 2000 and the property was taken by eminent domain by the state Department of Transportation and used as a staging area for the relocation of Route 195. The building was finally demolished in 2012 and the site sits empty today despite being on the waterfront.

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.

About the above, I thought long and hard about the crop. Lately I have been very much in love with the square crop, something that can be said by many of us on Flickr. I think there are so many of us that prefer it because Flickr's allowed display space is completely filled out when using a square crop. However, if the square crop was used here it would eliminate some important elements and take away from a good deal of the sky. So in the end, I did make a small crop but left it taller than square.

 

Hope everyone is doing Great!!!

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

Pues si se acabo el día y el viaje que he realizado a la Sierra de Cazorla, de la que vengo encanto por todo su contenido ya que es naturaleza pura y he disfrutado muchísimo.

Pero este ocaso quiero dedicarlo a dos personas en concreto a Mercedesol por ser una grandísima anfitriona ya que siempre que pudo y sus deberes le permitieron, nos acompaño o nos mostro donde poder ir y disfrutar de esa maravilla, gracias a ella hemos visto creo realmente que la mayoría de lo más bonito de la Sierra, así que muchísimas gracias Mercedes y a la otra persona es a Roberto (Konkuidado) amigo, compañero de viaje y compañero de disfrute ya que los dos lo hemos pasado genial.

 

Y a los demás deciros que ya tenía ganas de empezar a ver vuestras tomas.

 

Así que un saludo a tod@s
