Piazza Unità d'Italia è la piazza principale di Trieste. Si trova ai piedi del colle di San Giusto, tra il Borgo Teresiano e Borgo Giuseppino.

 

La piazza si apre da un lato sul Golfo di Trieste ed è circondata da numerosi palazzi ed edifici pubblici. Di pianta rettangolare, per superficie è la più grande piazza d'Europa che si affaccia sul mare.

 

Nella piazza hanno oggi sede, tra gli altri, il Municipio di Trieste, il palazzo della Giunta Regionale del Friuli-Venezia Giulia e la prefettura del capoluogo.

La niebla tarda en despejar, pero cuando se decide a hacerlo, salen días hermosos. La niebla y su fantasmagoría: no vemos lo que de ordinario nos sirve de referencia siendo nuestro paisaje habitual, y en su lugar vemos o creemos ver algo que no existe, pero que podría existir... es la otra cara. La niebla hace que nos encontremos perdidos en medio de la nada, aún estando en la misma puerta de nuestra casa.

 

SIERRA DE URBASA, NAVARRA - ESPAÑA

I haven't done a bench shot in awhile ... so when I'm with the girls, I always try to grab a few for later! I had a lot of fun chauffeuring Rachel around San Diego and surrounding hamlets ... showing her what she could do, where she go, etc.

 

At sunset, our path put us near Carlsbad State Beach. We hopped up on the sea wall and enjoyed a gorgeous sunset ... and of course this bench shot! Loved the couple walking together, hand-in-hand and the fabulous sun flare! This looks much better in the lightbox!!

 

Happy Bench Monday!

I may have said it once or twice about photos in the past, but if you don't hit 'L" and see this a bit bigger on black you're not really getting the full blast, actually what i should do is deliver a 12 foot canvas to each and every viewer to really appreciate it, but logistically speaking it might just be easier if you all went to Cornwall and found yourself a big empty beach instead?

 

Slightly insane in the membrane here this morning, the colic thing isn't going away yet despite the millions of wonderful suggestions for which we are very grateful. Actually we're still working our way through the ideas, but i can report that white noise (in various shapes and forms from iphone apps to hair-dryers) can be a useful distraction at times and that infacol, dentinox and colief don't seem to be making much difference at all except for demonstrating how pharmaceutical companies can charge a surprisingly large amount of money for such tiny bottles of stuff.

 

We've also had a recommendation to try out cranial oestheopathy, and might just give it a go, although the sceptic in me immediately looked it up and found it referenced on badscience.net and wikipedia as having no proven basis in medicine, there is a ton of anecdotal evidence out there from parents who swear it worked for them, and at this stage, thats good enough for me to want to try it.

Storia di una lacrima - I Pooh".

Storia di una lacrima

.

Da un ricordo, una emozione nacque lei,

un flebile pianto, è ai suoi occhi si affacciò.

Trasparente scivolò è lentamente venne giù

sul quel tenero viso per poi volare via con il vento.

 

Fra le nuvole immense si liberò, con le stagioni

sopra i monti, la vita…. in fretta la cambiò,

adesso trasparente non è più, soffice, leggera

fra le nuvole con la rugiada si sposò.

 

Ora il vento soffia, sussurra, le dice di

quell’amore intenso, che nascere la fu.

Ma niente amore o sentimento con lei c’è più,

niente più ricordi oramai, è nel cielo, libera, lassù.

 

Non ascolta più, sola è li più in alto nel sole,

lei libera vola, nell’infinito e immenso blu.

Ma non sfuggire al sole può, come rugiada viene giù,

lentamente muore, fra le grida di flebili e lontane emozioni.

.........................................................................................Luigi Mirto

Story of a tear

.

From a memory, ... an emotion. she was born,

a plaintive cry, .... has appeared in his eyes.

Transparent slipped and came down slowly

on that tender face and then fly away with the wind.

 

Among the immense clouds broke free, with the seasons

above the mountains, life .... hastily changed,

now no longer transparent, soft, light

the clouds joined with the dew.

 

Now the wind is blowing, whispering, tells of

the intense love, that made her birth.

But no love or feeling with her no more,

nothing more than memories now, is in the sky, free, there.

 

Do not listen to more, only is there higher up in the sun,

she flies freely, immense and infinite blue.

But can not escape the sun, like the dew comes down,

....... slowly dies, between the faint and distant cry of emotion.

.........................................................................................Luigi Mirto

I really needed to upload this shot...

The weather today in fact is cold, windy, rainy and foggy a rare combination of events for our usually "Sunny Sicily". Weather forecasts actually show that in a couple of days should snow quite a bit....

Only two days ago instead was like in this capture! Go figure.....

  

Through my friend Iris (eyewrisz) words:

 

if this is feeling blue

i want to feel it too

color is astounding on petal ribbons all curled

a welcome sight in this complicated world

 

Iris, the day that you'll get bored and won't write these little gems for my shots anymore, I think I'll stop posting.....You are way too good with me!

Cales Coves has a small coarse beach reached by a short walk down a steep sided limestone gorge. It has two small beaches. Access is from the road between Cala’n Porter and Sant Climent but be warned! The road down to Cales Coves is about 1.5 km long and very bumpy. It is worth the 10-15 minute drive though, as you will discover once you arrive at the small parking area. Apart from the beautiful bays at Cales Coves you will also discover a few fascinating burial caves with its necropolis from 9 B.C. This beach sports more than 100 prehistoric caves that have made it famous. Some you can reach via a footpath over the cliffs, which also takes you over the rock head and on to a second cove. There are many caves high up in the walls of the gorge, making the exploration of this area very exciting for children and their mom & dad as well. Some caves are inaccessible. If you have the time and energy check out Cales Coves smaller second bay by clambering over the rock head, then go for a dip in the bay's other fork. Nudists use the rocky shelves and cave entrances and swim in the waters of the coves. Menorca is laid back and offers many golden opportunities for Naturists on its unspoiled shores. There are several naturist beaches around the island where Nudity is permitted but not required.

 

Cales Coves is an attractive bay situated on the South East coast of Menorca. Nudists use the rocky shelves and prehistoric cave entrances and swim in the clear waters of the coves getting "back to nature". Naturism is a lifestyle in harmony with nature. Menorca is laid back and offers many golden opportunities for Naturists on its unspoiled shores.

 

Het kost heel wat moeite er te komen – een ruige rit op vier wielen of een stevige wandeltocht tussen de olijfbomen van Son Vitamina – maar als u bij Cales Coves arriveert, wordt u begroet door één van de meest onvergetelijke plekken op Menorca. De kliffen die op deze beschutte baai neerkijken herbergen meer dan 100 grotten uit de Bronstijd, uit de rots gehakt en gebruikt als grafkamers en woningen – de doden waren de buren van de levenden. De oudste grotten dateren van de 9de eeuw v.Chr.; volg het voetpad over de rotsen aan uw rechterhand en u bereikt een tweede baai. Onderweg komt u langs recentere grotten - 4de eeuw v.Chr., met ramen, binnenplaatsen en cellen. Sommige dragen Romeinse inscripties, wat aangeeft dat ze ook na de Talaiot-tijd in gebruik waren. Er zijn zelfs grotten die nu nog bewoond worden door moderne holbewoners. U ziet ze water halen bij een bron en naakt in de kristallen zee baden. Van tijd tot tijd proberen de autoriteiten deze moderne holenmensen ertoe te bewegen te vertrekken, maar ze keren altijd terug. Als u een kijkje neemt in één van de onbewoonde grotten, ziet u hippieschilderijen met zonnen, manen en bloemen op de muren. De prehistorische bewoners hadden een goede plek uitgekozen – de hoek van de inhammen zorgt voor beschutting tegen de open zee. Dat maakt de baaien 's zomers ook goede ankerplaatsen voor pleziervaartuigen. De stranden zijn eerder kiezelig dan zanderig, maar u kunt vanaf de rotsen goed zwemmen. Cales Coves zijn een ideale bestemming voor rustzoekers en liefhebbers van zwemmen. Naturisme wordt dus in deze afgelegen baai toegestaan.

My most fvrt City. The most vibrant port city -having a coast line of 48kms-situated on the south-west coast of the Indian peninsula.It is surrounded by the Western Ghats on the east and the Arabian Sea on the west. It was from Kochi that the colonization of India started.It was/is an important spice trading centre. Now it is a significant commercial and industrial hub of India because of the IT boom.

As a final note?

What makes this city beautiful..The people, the sea, Chinese fishing nets,multi culture, Jew street and kaikas biriyani (a famous shop which provides amazing biriyani),Mariane drive,cherai beach..and many more. For me,what makes this city close to my heart is, my days with my friends here..The short train journeys to this city, window shoppings, those second hand book sellers in the street ( A street version of ebay) and those long walks with friends..

  

Update: I had given a border earlier defining the boundaries( pixel's/datas )in this frame but after traveling with ajay visual panoram"s remarks about the frame above...yes i feel who am i to give boundaries for mother nature? We, the simple human being, always make this mistakes we define (or predefine) things, we try to define almost everything. We try to provide boundaries from ecology to emotions. We limit ourselves with well defined boundaries or self/ social imposed restrictions. Yes the process of elimination. When will we learn to think outside those boxes????

I deleted the boundaries given earlier to the frame..now it is more than pixels it is a beautiful profile of mother nature. I am glad I am part of mother nature...

"....Samudravasane devi,

parvatastana mandite,

O goddess Earth, the consort of Vishnu, you whose garments are the oceans and whose breasts are the hills and mountain ranges; please forgive me as I walk on you this day.13

"All men have the stars," he answered, "but they are not the same things for different people. For some, who are travellers, the stars are guides. For others they are no more than little lights in the sky. For others, who are scholars, they are problems. For my businessman they were wealth. But all the stars are silent. You--you alone--will have the stars as no one else has them--".

 

The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint Exupéry

 

For me? They are my dreams, my hopes, my wishes, my sighs and that very special quest for mistery that does never leave my soul.

 

Silenziosa luce delle stelle

"Gli uomini hanno delle stelle che non sono le stesse. Per gli uni, quelli che viaggiano, le stelle sono delle guide. Per altri non sono che delle piccole luci. Per altri, che sono dei sapienti, sono dei problemi. Per il mio uomo d'affari erano dell'oro. Ma tutte queste stelle stanno zitte. Tu, tu solo avrai delle stelle come nessuno ha... "

 

Il Piccolo Principe, Antoine de Saint Exupéry

 

Per me? Sono sogni, le speranze, i desideri e quella voglia di mistero che non mi lascia mai.

 

Hope everyone is well, apologies, looks like flickr absence could be a while, current estimate is somewhere between 2 weeks and 5 years before life gets normal again. Finding it tough with William having pretty bad Colic at night, and next to no sleep, any suggestions are very welcome!!

 

I did get a few photos of him recently, and will hopefully find time to share something soon, had a load of coastal scenes ready to post for Getty so i'll be sharing them first.

 

Thanks again for all the kind words and best wishes over the last week or so

Watch the Before-and-After Comparison to see where this photo comes from!

 

Success story:

> This shot is the 2nd most interesting photo uploaded on February 12th 2011 - has not been explored though

> It is among the top 10 HDR uploads of all times (last check: May 2011)

> It is an Editor's Pick at "HDR Spotting".

  

The story of this photo:

This HDR vertorama was taken in the Basilica St. Martin in Weingarten, Germany. This wonderful church was built between 1715 and 1724. The white interior creates a fantastic light, and when the sun is shining, this place lights up. This is a classical example of a scene that requires HDR. In a normal shot, you could never capture how the sun shines on those pillars without the rest of the shot being hopelessly underexposed.

 

While processing this shot, I discovered that my usual HDR Vertorama technique lead to a strange problem: Usually, I stitch the 32bit HDRs in Photoshop before the tone-mapping. However, I found that Photoshop drastically loses details in the highlights during this process. I tried it with this shot and the spots where the sun shines on the pillars became big ugly white blobs without any chance of recovering details. The information in these spots was just lost. Strange! I did not find any explanation or a way to cure this yet. Photoshop just mysteriously loses this data. If you have an explanation, let me know. To avoid this effect, I have tone-mapped the individual images first and then stitched them in Photoshop.

 

Take a look at my "HDR Cookbook"! It contains some more information on my techniques.

 

How it was shot:

> Taken handheld (Read more about the technique!)

> 5x3 autobracketed shots (three exposures each with 0, -2, +2 ev)

> Camera: Nikon D90

> Lens: Sigma 10-20mm F3,5 EX DC HSM

> Details can be found here

 

How it was stitched and tonemapped:

> Created 5 tone-mapped images directly from the RAW files using Photomatix Pro 4.0 (Detail Enhancer)

> Saved the images as 16bit TIFs

> Stitched the 5 TIFs using Photoshop

> Take a look here for a more detailed description.

 

How it was post-processed:

> Post-processing was done in Photoshop

> Topaz Adjust on the entire image to get back the colors and the details [details]

> Topaz Denoise (more aggressively on the white walls) [details]

> Topaz Infocus on the entire image for sharpening

> Saturation layer on the white regions (desaturation)

> Saturation layer on the windows (master and blues)

> Levels layer on the upper middle part of the ceiling (masked with an oval selection to brighten this area)

> Saturation layer on the paintings (master and reds)

> Vibrance layer on the paintings (for a more even saturation)

> Color balance layer on the paintings (for cooling the colors a bit)

> Curves layer on the floor (enhancing the reflective look)

> Curves layer on some parts of the ceiling (more contrast)

> Vignette effect using a masked fill layer [details]

> Sharpening using the high-pass filter [details]

> Watermarking

The final morning of our phenom female photog weekend (Myself, Jean Day, & Robin Black).

The weather looked dreary & rainy before sunrise. Looked like we would get skunked. Jean & I opted to take the risk & hike into Point Lobos Sate Reserve.

It stopped raining, but no sunrise color.

We did see a lot of great wave action though.

Can't wait to return here in better weather conditions.

 

Thanks for stopping by to have a look. =)
