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.
My dear friend Yvette , (Photoma's World) took me to wonderful places in Flanders , her corner of the world !

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.

"My Gear" Album
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.
The Cathedral of Monreale, on a hill on the lower slopes of a mountain overlooking Palermo, was the last and most beautiful of the Norman churches built in Sicily, and one of the architectural wonders of the medieval world. A project of the Norman King William II (1153 - 1166 - 1189), the huge Cathedral took only 8 years to build (between 1174 and 1182).
Some idea of the richness of the interior mosaics, which cover the entire Cathedral, can be gleaned from the fact that they contain around 2,200 kilos of pure gold.
technique/processing
Partly HDR or better to say DRI - the golden middle is blended from a photo taken with -2EV. Both were handheld of course (no tripods allowed). Photoshop auto align took care of the slight shift.
"standard" processing after that - sharpening, levels, s-curve, slight cross processing, tonal contrast and a lil bit of glamour glow on the brighter parts.
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
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.

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

Well, what can I say about this place. We went to the lovely town of Udaipur, which is also called the "city of lakes" and I could not take my eyes off this place.
This is a shot of the City Palace from across the Lake Pichola. I patiently waited for the blue hour and set this shot on the tripod. We (my wife and I) are posing here as admirers of this majestic structure right across the lake, in one of the most romantic settings we've seen. I was in LOVE!!
This is another MUST visit for anybody travelling to India.

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..

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 :)

(Please view large; it makes a big difference)
Rain, rain, go away. My photography workshop company, Sea to Summit, had to rescedule a private group workshop on Friday because of bad weather. The upside was that I got to go out and do my own shooting during the storm. To say that conditions at Panther Beach were dramatic would be a major understatement. The waves were ferocious, and the sky: well, I'll just say a "Holy Crap!" or two left my lips during the shoot.
(To give credit where credit's due, this is pretty much a 100% comp-stomp of this shot by Jim Patterson)
