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.

Thought I went to shoot some California poppies and ended up shooting dew drops on grass. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

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..
Teddy just had his twice monthly bath, which did not make him happy. Nothing like having a two and a half pound Chihuahua trying to climb your arm while you bathe him in the kitchen sink!

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 :)

Con esta serie de este precioso ocaso que he tenido la suerte de pillar en Cáceres me despido hasta el viernes ya que de nuevo me marcho esta vez a Zamora para hacer los Arribes del Duero.
Desearos a tod@s unos buenos días
Y recomendaros verlas en grande sobre fondo negro y os recuerdo que todas se pueden ver en grande y comentarlas
Hasta la vuelta
I dedicated this image to my friend Bob (Bats), in honor of his continuing stream of seemingly never ending light trails in SF images.
I took this and two more shots before being approached by a security guard and being told the overpass closes at 8:30pm… therefore finding myself kicked off. Because of this, I have thought of this as a test shot rather than a publishable image, but it has grown on me, so here it is.
I've been meaning to return, but then I'm meaning to do a lot of things…

Had a really nice day at Viera Wetlands last week. Great weather, lots of birds and wonderful company. This breeding plumage Anhinga was right next to the road on the north Click Pond. Other names for this species are Snake Bird and Water Turkey.

Ave de médio porte, o bem-te-vi mede entre de 20,5 e 25 cm de comprimento para, aproximadamente, 60 gramas. Tem o dorso pardo e a barriga de um amarelo vivo; uma listra (sobrancelha) branca no alto da cabeça, acima dos olhos; cauda preta. O bico é preto, achatado, longo, resistente e um pouco encurvado. A garganta (zona logo abaixo do bico) é de cor branca. Possui um topete amarelo somente visível quando a ave o eriça em determinadas situações. O seu canto trissilábico característico lembra as sílabas bem-te-vi, que dão o nome à espécie. Portanto, seu nome popular possui origem onomatopeica. É ave típica da América Latina, com uma distribuição geográfica que se estende predominantemente do sul do México à Argentina. (www.wikiaves.com.br)

La súper luna llena más grande y más brillante al acercarse a la menor distancia de la Tierra en 18 años. La última luna llena tan grande y tan cerca de la Tierra se produjo en marzo de 1993.
La luna llena varía de tamaño debido a la forma elíptica de la órbita de la Luna. Se trata de una elipse con una cara (perigeo) cerca de 50 mil kilómetros más cerca de la Tierra que el otro (apogeo).
Las lunas llenas del perigeo son cerca de 14% y 30% más grande y más brillantes respectivamente que las lunas menores que ocurren en el lado del apogeo de la órbita de la Luna.
La Luna estará entonces a 354.577 kilómetros de la Tierra. Es decir que estaremos 26.323 kilómetros más cerca de lo normal de nuestro satélite natural, del que nos separa una distancia media de 382.900 km.
El perigeo es el momento de la órbita lunar en el cual la Luna está más cerca de la Tierra, momento que se repite regularmente.
Recordemos que, tanto la Luna como la Tierra, se encuentran en constantes y múltiples movimientos, por lo que la distancia entre ambos cuerpos nunca es la misma que hace un segundo.
La órbita de la Luna presenta algunas variaciones matemáticas. Por eso, hay perigeos más cercanos a la Tierra que otros. El perigeo del 19 de marzo, en particular, será el más cercano a la Tierra en casi 20 años.

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.

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.

Another one from the archives - Tanzania, 2009. The original is in the comments and it speaks for itself. This part of the Indian Ocean is right in the downtown of Dar es Salaam, near business district. If my office window was facing the view like that, I wouldn't be able to get any work done. But, luckily, it is facing a boring parking lot, so I am good for now. HSS everyone!
