Alla notevole altitudine di 2.126 m s.l.m. Avers/Juf è l'insediamento abitato per tutto l'anno più alto d'Europa.
Una trentina di abitanti vivono tutto l'anno in questo villaggio sull'altipiano ai piedi del Passo Septimer e del Monte Staller.
La sopravvivevenza è dura per questi agricoltori di montagna che sfidano le temperature glaciali del lungo inverno e che hanno realizzato un percrso didattico nel mondo degli animali che vanno in letargo durante l'inverno: qui si possono ossevare le marmotte.

The Basilica-Cathedral of Our Lady of the Pillar is a Roman Catholic church in the city of Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain. The Basilica venerates Blessed Virgin Mary, under her title Our Lady of the Pillar praised as Mother of the Hispanic Peoples by Pope John Paul II. It is reputed to be the first church dedicated to Mary in history (Wikipedia).

La Catedral-Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar, en Zaragoza, es un importante templo barroco de España. Según la tradición, se trata del primer templo mariano de la Cristiandad, puesto que en él se conserva y venera el pilar —en realidad, una columna de jaspe— que, según la tradición, fue puesto por la Virgen María, quien, viviendo aún en Jerusalén, se habría aparecido en carne mortal al apóstol Santiago el día 2 de enero del año 40. Documentalmente no hay pruebas de un culto mariano hasta que en 1297 —en una bula del papa Bonifacio VIII— y 1299 —una declaración de los Jurados de Zaragoza— aparezcan menciones que hablan por primera vez de la advocación del «Pilar» (Wikipedia).

MUSEO GUGGENHEIM
El Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Guggenheim de Bilbao, lo disenó el arquitecto canadiense Frank O. Gehry. Se trata de uno de los cinco museos de la Fundación Solomon R. Guggenheim. Fue inaugurado el 18 de octubre de 1997 por el Rey Juan Carlos I de España.
La característica más llamativa del museo es el innovador edificio en el que se emplaza, constituido por formas curvilíneas y retorcidas, recubiertas de piedra caliza, cortinas de cristal y planchas de titanio. Cuenta con una superficie total de 24.000 m², de los cuales 11.000 m² están reservado para las exposiciones, distribuidos en 19 galerías. Se ubica a orillas de la ría de Bilbao, en una zona denominada Abandoibarra, junto al puente Príncipes de España (puente de La Salve), que resulta rodeado por una torre hueca. El edificio recibió múltiples críticas favorables, como la del arquitecto estadounidense Philip Johnson, quien lo calificó como «el edificio más grande de nuestros tiempos»
Re-posted ~ The most famous photo of the Loch Ness Monster was taken 81 years ago today.
---------------------------------------------
Dedicated to our inner-child and to all the dreamers like us. ♥
The Loch Ness Monster is a cryptid that is reputed to inhabit Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. The most frequent speculation is that the creature represents a line of long-surviving plesiosaurs. The legendary monster has been affectionately referred to by the nickname "Nessie" since the 1950s.
The earliest legend about the Loch Ness monster recorded is the story of the Irish monk Saint Columba’s encounter with the beast. During is pilgrimage in Scotland to spread Christianity across the land, on his way to visit with the Pictish king in Inverness, he encountered some Picts burying what remained of one of their own people, badly savaged by a creature in the Loch. Columba ordered one of his followers to swim over to the other side of the water and retrieve the dead man’s boat. During this the servant was attacked by a creature. Columba (invoking the name of God) commanded the beast to return to whence it came and it vanished beneath the waters of the Loch leaving the swimming man unharmed.
It was not until 1933 that the monster became world famous as the world newspapers reported the story. So keep your eyes on the loch as you travel around, you never know you may be lucky and spot the monster too.

Hey everybody! This is the view of the Abraham lake from a Helicopter ride to the Wilson Icefield, in Alberta Canada.The tour will take you past the 6 glaciers of the Cline Glacier Explorer Tour and on to the Wilson Icefield for a close view of its remarkable crevasses.
I hope you all enjoy the pictures that I will be posting from this amazing place.
Hola a todos! Esta es la vista del Lago Abraham desde un elicoptero a Wilson Icefield in Alberta, Canada. Espero que le gusten las fotos que estare mostrando de este maravilloso lugar.
Abraham Lake is an artificial lake on North Saskatchewan River in western Alberta, Canada. Abraham Lake has a surface area of 53.7 km2 (20.7 sq mi) and a length of 32 km (20 mi)
Although man-made, the lake has the blue color of other glacial lakes in the Rocky Mountains, which is caused by rock flour as in other glacial lakes.
The Cline River Heliport is located on the western shore of the lake.
El Lago Abraham es un lago artificial de la Represa del Rio Saskatchewan en el Oeste de Alberta.
El color del lago es un intenso turqueza debido a los sedimentos y minerales de los glaciares.

This is one of those images that just works, problem is you either love it or you don't -I'm in the middle, because I can be, I'm the Photographer.
What do you think?
I've always believed Photography is about contrast and saturation -which is why B/W Photography is so popular.

About Ansel Easton Adam
Ansel Easton Adams (February 20, 1902 – April 22, 1984) was an American photographer and environmentalist, best known for his black-and-white photographs of the American West, especially in Yosemite National Park. One of his most famous photographs was Moon and Half Dome, Yosemite National Park, California.
With Fred Archer, Adams developed the Zone System as a way to determine proper exposure and adjust the contrast of the final print. The resulting clarity and depth characterized his photographs and the work of those to whom he taught the system. Adams primarily used large-format cameras, despite their size, weight, setup time, and film cost, because their high resolution helped ensure sharpness in his images.
Adams founded the Group f/64 along with fellow photographers Edward Weston and Imogen Cunningham, which in turn created the Museum of Modern Art's department of photography. Adams's timeless and visually stunning photographs are reproduced on calendars, posters, and in books, making his photographs widely recognizable.
On a trip in New Mexico weeks before the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, Adams shot a scene of the Moon rising above a modest village with snow-covered mountains in the background, under a dominating black sky. The photograph is one of his most famous and is named, Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico. The photograph's fame was probably enhanced by Adams's description in his later books of how it was made: the light on the crosses in the foreground was rapidly fading, and he could not find his exposure meter; however, he remembered the luminance of the Moon, and used it to calculate the proper exposure.
This Audi was at the parking place of Grand Hotel Huis Ter Duin. It's a beautiful car. What do you think of the editing?
I made this picture last summer but at that time I adapted this picture too much. Now I made a better version of it without the gates and poles. I hope you like it!

Rodas es la ciudad principal de la isla griega de Rodas, en el sudeste del mar Egeo, y la capital de la prefectura del Dodecaneso. Rodas ha sido famosa desde la antigüedad por ser la sede del Coloso,una de las Siete Maravillas del Mundo Antiguo.
Su posición la convierte en un cruce de caminos entre Europa, Oriente Medio y África. Esta localización ha supuesto que a lo largo de la historia hayan pasado por la isla diferentes culturas, arquitecturas, lenguas, etc., lo que ha dejado una gran riqueza cultural en la isla. Se cree que está habitada desde el período neolítico.
En el centro de la Ciudad actual de Rodas está el núcleo antiguo, dedicado en su totalidad al turismo junto al puerto de Mandraki. Lo forma la ciudad medieval, con sus calles empedradas, las fortalezas y edificios antiguos reformados, y alguna mezquita. Cabe mencionar las murallas y fortalezas, el Palacio de los Grandes Maestres de la Orden,el Hospital (hoy Museo Arqueológico)... La ciudad vieja está llena de tiendas donde trabajan seis mil personas y se venden toda clase de recuerdos, con el centro comercial en la calle de Sokratos.

Just had a look in my archive and found this one. It was taken last year in spring in the surrounding of my hometown Fellbach (Region Stuttgart, Germany). The path goes up to a small hill from which you have a beautiful view at the forest and the river Neckar.
I like the curves and the way in which the trail runs through the photo.
Bei einem Blick in mein Archiv fand ich dieses Bild. Ich habe es letztes Jahr im Frühjahr hier bei Fellbach aufgenommen. Der Wanderweg führt auf einen kleinen Hügel von dem aus ein wunderschöner Blick auf den Wald und den Neckar möglich ist.
Mir gefielen die Kurven und die Art wie der Weg durch das Foto verläuft.

This is CPII with his EYE keenly focused on his buddy, the squirrel, that lives in an Oak Tree in our back yard.
I had just returned from taking a shot or two of a rose and caught his intensity with a 100mm Macro lens. Not my lens of choice but I fired away because of the opportunity to capture this pose. I thought it turned out pretty cool and decided to share..
Needs to be viewed LARGE or ORIGINAL to see the focus of his eye. The image starts to blur out quickly because the lens was stopped up to f/2.8 at the time. thanks....

Another shot from my series of Munich's Metro stations. I guess it's the best known station amongst photographers - Westfriedhof.
Once again, hand held shot, two exposures - one for the lamps and one for the rest, blended in Photoshop.
In color-processing i concentrated on the light - to enhance the contrast between the cold blue on the walls and the warm yellow on the floor.

I just started using Google+ and its a great place to show your work and find great photographers, here's an invite.
About the Photo
*Camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS *Lens: EF-S 18-55mm ƒ/3.5-5.6 IS *Shutter Speed: 20.0 Sec. *Aperture Value: ƒ/22.0 *ISO: 100 *Focal Length: 18mm (28.8mm Equivalent in 35mm Film)
I shot this on a tripod, using a polarizing filter to make the sky a darker blue to contrast the bright lights, and a 2 Sec. selftimer. I like the diffraction stars created by the small aperture that I used.
I opened the RAW file in ACR and used a new preset I made to give an image a slight HDR feel by increasing the contrast and recovering the highlights and adding detail to the shadows. Pretty well it increases the fill light and recovery sliders, then compensates for lack of contrast by increasing the blacks. The detail is added by the clarity slider and the tone curve is manipulated to tune the global contrast of the image. Since I agressively increased the contrast of the image I decreased the saturation and increased the vibrance to compensate and tweaked each colour's hue to make them look the way I wanted.
I opened the RAW file in CS4 and blended it using luminousity blending mode with another layer that didn't have the ACR adjustments that I had done, I lowered the layer's opacity to control the HDR-like effects to the image and removed some of the annoying halos around the shadow areas. I used the patch tool to remove a large pole to the left of the frame and finished it off with the cloning tool. I cropped the bottom of the frame slightly to remove a boring portion of the image. At the end I saved a 16 bit TIFF file, converted to sRGB colourspace and saved as a JPEG to upload to the internet.

We didn’t win the gold against Spain so we have to make doe with silver and I’m very happy with this result. I’ll be in Amsterdam tomorrow when the Dutch (orange) soccer players take the channel Crouse trough the waters of Amsterdam. Hope we’ll have as big a party as we had in 1988 (that’s when we won the European Cup)
