The photo above was taken at the western ridge of Lake Ann which is about 700 ft above the lake and a front seat view of the magnificent and imposing Mount Shuksan range.
Lake Ann is still frozen over, though there's a hint of melted areas around it. It may not completely thaw this year considering it's almost fall now.
The waxing half moon was a few degrees above the horizon and about to set when this was taken -- not a complete deal breaker for astrophotography. It helped illuminate the scene quite well.

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!

Apologies for the repetition of pictures taken at the side of Llandudno pier. This is the last - I also think it's the best but I'd appreciate people's comments on what they reckon. I'm really appreciative of the feedback I've had so far - it's really helping my learning and in addition to this being from a slightly different angle to the others I've also changed up the processing and cropped differently to alter the perspective.
As with the others this is a long exposure, taken for 120 seconds.
A further thanks to Joshua Wyborn who's processing guide (link below) has really changed the way I edit my pictures and who offered some great thoughts on composition.

This photo was entered into Explore and had a highest placing of 260.
Some nights it seems like there are three main sunsets: 1. When the sun sets behind the horizon; 2. When the first round of cloud glow kicks off after the sun sets behind the horizon; and, 3. Once in awhile a second round of glow comes to the clouds just as blue hour is kicking off.
Last night was just such a night here in Fort Fun, yay!
Image Notes: Manually blended two exposures for foreground and sky. Shooting blue hour can result in some fantastic results, but experiment with exposure. For e.g. this image is a tad brighter than the scene was in reality.
Here is a view of Yaletown, a very trendy district of Vancouver, from Granville Bridge. This image was taken shortly after the conclusion of the Celebration of Light festival. The sky had transformed into this incredible hue of violets and purples. At the same time, it was a pleasure to see what almost resembled a race of boats leaving English Bay and making their way back under the bridges to their respective docks long False Creek. There were dozens upon dozens of boats, like a parade on water.

Thank you everyone for your kind, encouraging comments and faves!
One of the actors who played the role of a princess during the Edo period.
Location: Edo Wonderland, Nikko-shi, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan
A village created in Nikko/Kinugawa during the bubble economy of Japan in early 80s. Basically depicted here are houses and establishments during the Edo period, how its government functioned during the rules if shoguns and samurais, how the geishas were regarded, how the business thrived, how the people lived and how ninjas existed. I thought they were just a myth. Whatever, it was worth the experience despite the rains during the entire day of the tour!!! lol
*** Explored #43 on 8/24/2011! ***
Update: This is a re-post of yesterday's photo. I decided that the original version I posted was too contrasty with excessive shadows so I uploaded a new version. I also figured out why I thought my photo was super red when it shouldn't be: Google Chrome doesn't support Color Profiles/Color Management! The photos look much better in Firefox/Safari
I spent the last couple days on a photovacation taking photos of beautiful things around northern Arizona. My photo buddy Willie and one other friend and I flew into Phoenix and drove 5 hours north to Page, AZ. We arrived in the evening, just as a storm started blowing in. We immediately went over to Horseshoe Bend to see if we could get some nice photos. Although we knew that this spot was *completely* over-photographed we hoped that the storm would give us a fairly unique shot of the bend in the Colorado River. About an hour before sunset the lightning starting getting pretty close and the rain got a little heavier than we would have liked and we decided to head back and sit in the car -- we sprinted back to protect our gear. Luckily monsoon season in Arizona means the storms only last about 20 minutes and we were able to head back to The Bend before the sunset light started.
Fortunately for Willie and I, another storm was right behind and rolled behind Horseshoe Bend just as the sun was setting. The incoming storm created an absolutely beautiful sunset, filled with light shafts reflecting off the off the rain. The water was also calm enough to reflect the sunset in the river. We definitely had a treat of a sunset!
I rented a D700 for this trip from LensRentals.com. The D700 was absolutely amazing. With my 17-35mm lens on it I could finally go really wide and this place absolutely needed a wide angle lens. We scoped out a couple locations for this shoot and eventually decided we liked this spot because it was a little bit different than most peoples photos (who take their shots a bit to the left). I liked the two rocks on the left and right from this spot -- they point into Horseshoe Bend and frame it really nicely.
Couple other notes about Horseshoe Bend: It's right off the highway and really easy to get to. There's about a 0.75 mile walk along a sandy trail to get here and pretty much anyone except a 90 year old parent could make the trek. Once you arrive at Horseshoe Bend there's a really long stretch of land that you can scope out to get your shot (there's not just one or two spots). The edge of the cliffs drops 1,000 feet down and there are no railings preventing you from falling off. We got right up to the edge to get this shot. I was afraid to let go of my camera for fear that the wind would blow it off the edge!
Additionally, there's no way to get rid of that little rock on the bottom (left/center) that sticks into the river. It's a huge rock (that only looks small due to the 17mm lens) and no composition gets rid of it.
See Willie's photo standing a couple inches to the left of me.

Our train got into Paris Gard du Nord around 17:30, then we walked to our nearby hotel, just by Gare du l'Est. It was a quick turnaround, as I wanted to be out at a Parisienne landmark by sunset. Now, I know that most of my photos are at sunset, sunrise or the blue hour, but there simply is no better times to shoot landscapes, especially colour and HDR ones. There are exceptions to the rule, obviously, but 95% of the time this rule holds true, at least in my style of photography.
We got to the Eiffel Tower ridiculously early, so went for some food while I waited for the light to change. As soon as the sun started dropping, I raced to this little park in front of the tower and started snapping away. Poor Anna had to wait patiently while I ran backwards and forwards changing position, getting different angles and adapting as the light changed. When the sun got to a certain point, I noticed how it shone through this gap in the hedge. I waited until I could frame it with this little tree as well.
We were quite lucky to get any type of decent sunset, as it had been spitting a few minutes beforehand and the sky was covered in dark storm clouds. We even saw thunderstorms later on from the top of the tower. Thankfully the clouds broke up for a while as the sun dipped beneath the horizon.
The Eiffel Tower (La Tour Eiffel) was completed in 1889 in only four years and was the entrance arch to the World's Fair that year. It was designed by Gustave Eiffel and held the title of the tallest man-made structure in the world (324 metres) for 41 years until it was surpassed by the Chrysler Building. To make it look more uniform to people on the ground, the tower is actually painted in three different shades of paint; the lightest at the top and the darkest at the bottom.
This is a 7-shot HDR. You nearly always need to take more than three exposures if you're shooting directly into the sun, as the range of light is far greater than most normal scenes.
This photo is for Carol (in a barrel), as she went to Paris a few days before me and probably didn't bother taking any sunset shots.

Stunning sunset over Lake Thun.
Taken from a boat's landing place in Merligen. The striking mountain on the left is the Niesen and in the middle you see the Stockhorn.
This is my very first shot with neutral density filters. I always admired those long exposures pics with the smooth and silky water. The result is acceptable but still in need of improvement...
Lake Thun (German: Thunersee) is an Alpine lake in the Bernese Oberland in Switzerland. It took its name from the city of Thun, on its northern shore.
Lake Thun's approximately 2,500 km² large catchment area frequently causes local flooding after heavy rainfalls. This occurs because the river Aar (German: Aare), which drains Lake Thun, has only limited capacity to handle the excess runoff.
The lake is fed by water from Lake Brienz to the south east, which lies 6 metres higher than Lake Thun, and various streams in the Oberland, including the Kander (only since 1714). Lake Thun was created after the last ice age and was originally part of Lake Brienz. The historic combined lake is called Wendelsee by geologists and historians.
Fishing is important enough to keep a handful of professional fishers employed. In 2001 the total catch was 53,000 kg. Since 1835 passenger ships have operated on the lake. There are ten passenger ships in total, operated by the local railway company BLS Lötschbergbahn.
The Niesen is a mountain, located in the Bernese Oberland region of the Swiss Alps, overlooking Lake Thun and is often called the Swiss Pyramid.
The summit of the mountain (2362 metres) can be reached easily with a funicular from Mülenen (near Reichenbach). The construction of the Niesenbahn funicular was completed in 1910. Alongside the path of the Niesenbahn is the longest stairway in the world with 11,674 steps. It is open only once a year to the public for a stair run.
The Niesen was the subject of a number of paintings by Paul Klee, in which it was represented as a quasi-pyramid.
The Stockhorn is a mountain in the Bernese Alps, above the town of Erlenbach in Simmetal.
The Stockhorn is 2190 m high and is accessible via cable car and/or walking during 3 hours 30 minutes from the Oberstockensee. It has a restaurant at the top and is a good starting point for many hikes. There is good fishing in the two lakes right below the Stockhorn, the Oberstockensee(around 1650 m high and the Hinterstockensee ( around 1550 m high). There is a subterraneous water connection bettween the two lakes.
From the top you may enjoy, in a sunny day, a marvellous, unbelievable Panorama or sight with all the main summit of the Alps, the Eiger, Monk, Jungfrau, Diableretes and Mont Blanch,among them, the, the valley of the Aare river, Thun the Poral of the Alps,the Thunesee, the city of Interlaken and the Jura Region.

Showing you another glimpse of my city. These rock art work are created by John Felice Ceprano, who has been creating those stunning art form since 1986 at the same location on the Ottawa River. I definitely will have to go back as there are so much to see and shoot. The balance required to keep those rocks up is simply stunning. It also has become a major tourist and local attraction as you can see by the guy admiring the artwork.

The weather has finally been nice ... we've been outside trying to tame our garden (I'm not going to tell you how tall our grass is) ... but today; it finally gets a trim! So I apologize for being scarce. After the lawn work; I'll be catching up to my peeps and my favorite day of the week!!
This is a dune fence from my archives. Dune / sand fences are my favorite sort of fences; and when nature takes over and they slowly bend under the power of the sun, the sand and the water; I like them even better! This set of fences lined an area where the water formed a little inlet. I was lying in the sand on my back ... looking across this fence towards the inlet and the endless sand beyond ... wish I was there right now. ♥♥♥
Happy Fence Friday
i took this photo back in the autumn.
i am going to be trying to upload a little more often from now on!

I am very happy with the editing.
It's my first one in this colour.
I went to Filoli last week to see how the gardens were in August. They are thriving. I took this shot in the "cutting garden", which is their garden dedicated to growing flowers for the arrangements in the house. Filoli is an historic site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, located in Woodside, California and I am extremely lucky to live relatively close to it.
I hope everyone is enjoying their Wednesday.

MELANARGIA GALATHEA
Descrizione
Farfalla di media grandezza (la femmina può toccare i 30 mm di apertura alare), che si distingue facilmente dagli altri satiridi nostrani per la livrea nera e bianca. Superiormente, evidenzia un disegno a scacchiera che si ripete sulle parti inferiori con tonalità giallastre. I disegni appaiono meno appariscenti sulle ali posteriori, sulle quali si osserva, inoltre, una serie interrotta di ocelli submarginali.
Biologia
Specie univoltina, con svernamento allo stadio larvale e sfarfallamento in giugno-luglio. I bruchi, pelosi, sono di colore variabile dal verde-giallo al bruno, con due linee longitudinali scure dorsali e un paio di linee giallastre lateralmente. Testa e appendici caudali sono rosso-bruni. Conducono vita diurna nutrendosi di Graminacee (gen. Phleum, Festuca, Bromus, Dactylis ecc.) alla base delle quali si impupano. Se disturbati, si arrotolano su se stessi lasciandosi cadere al suolo.
Distribuzione ed ecologia
Con alcune sottospecie, si estende dall'Europa centr-meridionale e Nordafrica all'Iran. Presente in tutta Italia, eccetto Sardegna, dalla pianura ai 3000 m. Poco frequente nel territorio, ove la si è osservata in volo su radure fiorite.
Ijen Crater, - Bondowoso, East Java, Indonesia.
Less then 1km before reach the Ijen crater rim, there is a flattens trail where you can see a magnificent view of part of Java Island and Bali strait.

Las casetas de San Lorenzo son más que una imagen inexorable en la parte baja de una fotografía dominada por el mar y con la iglesia de San Pedro al fondo. Forman parte de la fisonomía de la playa desde que las generaciones pasadas y presentes tienen memoria, y si bien nacieron con la idea de constituir un pudoroso vestuario, enseguida los usuarios hicieron de ellas un verdadero club social.
Hoy constituyen, sin duda, un referente turístico, esa particularidad vistosa y multicolor que invita a los forasteros a fotografiarse con ellas y que incita su curiosidad hasta tal punto, que bajan a la arena para levantar sus faldas y descubrir qué hay dentro. Y se sorprenden de que sean simplemente unas pequeñas construcciones en lona, con un palo en el medio y cierre más que vulnerable, cuya pudorosa utilidad es, hoy día, cuanto menos, cuestionable.
Espero que sean de vuestro agrado
