I was lucky enough to get to shoot this bird crazy close, View Large on Black to see the resulting crazy detail on this tiny bird.
I think Juncos are just the cutest birds, don't you agree?
HBW All! ;-)))
Edit: the one with a blurry branch in the bokeh on the left has been voted off the island and replaced with the crop you see here. After three of you said something and knowing many more remained silent but felt the same, that was good enough for me. Thanks for the honest input all, I truly appreciate it!
“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart
that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

Tanah Lot Temple, Bali, Indonesia
Pura Tanah Lot (Tanah Lot Temple) is Hindu Temple.
Located about 20 km from Denpasar, the temple sits on a huge offshore rock which has been shaped continuously over the years by the ocean tide.
Tanah Lot means "Land in the Middle of the Sea" (in Balinese language) is a famous rock formation off the Indonesian island of Bali.
Note: It is a fantastic place to view beautiful dramatic sunsets. Every day at dusk, tourists throng the area to witness the magnificent silhouette of the temple against the glowing horizon.
Happy Sunday Every One =)

I couldn't believe my eyes when I emerged from the dimly lit interior of Notre Dame --- after enjoying the soprano singing vespers --- and walked into the soft rain showers of the evening. What a wonderful surprise to be greeted by this illuminated sky full of rich color! The shining pavement reflecting a glorious sunset shone against the dark buildings, and people with their umbrellas were in silhouette, framed by the illuminated lamposts. Paris between day and night! It was one of those moments when you just grab your camera and do your best to capture the magic! .
Lorsque je sortais - apres vepres - des tenebres de Notre Dame, je me suis trouvee devant ce tableau presque invraisemblable. Il avait plu, et le coucher du soleil rayonnait une lumiere rosatre et doree parmi les nuages qui dansaient. Quelle belle surprise inattendue!

"...El caballo bayo es muy buscado, su pelaje ya era muy frecuente en la península Ibérica. Viene ciertamente de los caballos importados por los moriscos que invadieron la península española y que salieron a las Américas más tarde. Algunos bayos fueron caballos de reyes y grandes combatientes. Ganaron también muchas carreras y enriquecieron a algunos de sus propietarios. Muchas historias están ligadas a la fama de estos caballos que se dican fuertes, resistentes, inteligentes y leales. Entre las diferentes capas, los bayos son considerados como los mejores de las tropas militares..."

I dedicate this image to my father, who has been the light of my professional life.
Who can give the sun, the permission to shine. Not even the darkest of clouds can hide the brilliance radiating out of the heart of our Solar System. Such is its power.
In the same way, who can hide the brilliance of the light in our heart. No matter how strongly the mind and its patterns cloud it, the brilliant jewel will continue to shine. So connect with the wind, and blow away the clouds. Let the sun in your heart shine through.
Photographed with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II, and Canon EF 24-105mm IS USM L Lens. Handheld.

While I was in visiting War Eagle Mills & Farm in NW Arkansas, I could see where the road disappeared through some trees and over the hill. I just couldn't resist attempting to capture what I was seeing. After I finished with shooting by the bridge, I jumped in the rental car and drove up the road a few hundred feet and then parked on the side of road...stepped out and walked into the center...and then snapped a few off. With some minor alterations of the lighting with my ReDynamix plug-in in Photoshop, I've been able to recapture the incredible scene that I experienced while standing in the middle of that rural road.

#107/365 Post Process Fridays episode #12. This week features an epic photo from PapekPhotography. I mean how epic can you get...beautiful old barn in the middle of the green field with uber clouds at sunset. For this one I really pushed up the colors, since I was going for a fantasy'esque story feel. I think I was a little influenced by PapekPhotography PP'd version he posted couple weeks back because they are very similar. Let's see who will be the first to get the title reference.

HAPPY TAMIL NEW YEARS DAY.
This confirms my view that the way we periceive things is highly subjective.
While we look at it as a beautiful Lotus bud, the dragon fly here looks at it as a mere landing pad before it goes on to its next location.
While I was focussing on photographing this bud, this dragonfly just popped into the frame and landed on it. I clicked a couple of shots and called out to my photography partner Prabhakaran to ask him to shoot some...but it was too late. The dragon fly had flown away.
Sometimes the angel of luck is by your side. You just have to thank her, and wish that she visits you once again.
Photographed with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II, and Canon EF 70-200mm F2.8 IS USM L Lens and Canon EF 2X Extender. Handheld. Again a lot of you may think its a macro shot done with a macro lens. It was shot from about 10 feet away from the subject, at 400mm.

The title is coming from my read on this...Stanley Park looks like the wellspring of the city.
Looking pretty much straight down on downtown Vancouver. An interesting point of architecture is the new Convention Centre expansion with the grass already growing on top. Also, this shows Coal Harbor and English Bay in the same shot. Shot from the Helijet on approach to the heliport.

What? Did you actually think I would leave Austria without showing you the capital?
Welcome to Vienna, Austria. The 10th largest city by population in the European Union and one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It was ranked #1 (tied with Vancouver) among 127 cities for overall quality of life in a 2005 study.
This is a photograph of The Upper Belvedere. A baroque palace that was built between 1720-1723. Belvedere is a palace complex built by Prince Eugene of Savoy just south-east of the historic city center of Vienna.
Although it was raining when we visited Laurie and I still had a wonderful time exploring the complex. There is a magnificent garden with plenty of fountains just behind this building, that I wish the whole world could see. The gardens were designed by Dominique Girard who trained in the gardens of Versailles as a young student.
I hope you enjoy the majestic view and have yourselves a great weekend!
I will be catching up with all your streams tonight, see you on Monday!

On the last day of our vacation I could no longer resist the urge to play with my husband's underwater camera. The light was so bright, I couldn't see a thing on the screen or hear the shutter click. I just set it on automatic and fired away until the memory card was filled. The memory card was small so I only managed a dozen or so shots ;-(
-philly glow-
i was still getting used to the 5d when i shot this and mistakenly set it to iso 200 (i've been spoiled by the 1Ds because the iso on that is shown in the viewfinder all the time so i never had to worry about it). when i got home, i was worried and loaded the images up immediately only to find out that there was nothing to worry at all - the 5d really rocks and indeed does deliver very clean files at high isos (provided you get the exposure right of course).
the only regret i have about this perfectly lit shot was that i wish this was a mountain scene. :)

La simetría es un rasgo característico de formas geométricas, sistema, ecuaciones, y otros objetos materiales o entidades abstractas, relacionada con su invariancia bajo ciertas transformaciones, movimientos o intercambios.
En condiciones formales, decimos que un objeto es simétrico en lo que concierne a una operación matemática dada, si, cuando aplicado al objeto, esta operación no cambia el objeto o su aspecto. Dos objetos son simétricos uno al otro en lo que concierne a un grupo dado de operaciones si uno es obtenido de otro por algunas operaciones (y viceversa). En la geometría 2D las clases principales de simetría de interés son las que conciernen a las isometrías de un espacio euclídeo: traslaciones, rotaciones, reflexiones y reflexiones que se deslizan.
Symmetry is a characteristic feature of geometrical forms, system, equations, and other material objects or abstract entities, related to its invariance under certain transformations, movements or exchanges.
In formal terms, we say that an object is symmetric with respect to a given mathematical operation, if, when applied to the object, this operation does not change the object or its appearance. Two objects are symmetrical each other with respect to a given group of operations if one is obtained by some other operations (and vice versa). In 2D geometry the main kinds of symmetry of interest are those concerning the isometries of a Euclidean space: translations, rotations, reflections and glide reflections.
Hey guys! Just wanted to say thanks for being awesome people! You make my day on a regular basis and for that I say – Thanks!
Yazd (pronounced /jæzd/) (In Persian: یزد), is the capital of Yazd province in Iran, and a centre of Zoroastrian culture. The city is located some 175 miles southeast of Isfahan. In 2005 it had an estimated population of 433,836 people.[1] In 2006 it had an estimated population of 505,037. [2]. Because of generations of adaptations to its desert surroundings, Yazd is an architecturally unique city. It is also known in Iran for the high quality handicrafts, especially silk weaving, and its sweets shops
History
The city has a 3000 year long history, dating back to the time of the Median empire, when it was known as Ysatis (or Issatis). The present city name, however, may have been derived from Yazdegerd I, a Sassanid ruler. The city was definitely a Zoroastrian centre during Sassanid times. After the Islamic conquest of Persia, many Zoroastrians fled to Yazd from neighbouring provinces. The city remained Zoroastrian even after the conquest by paying a levy, and only gradually did Islam come to be the dominant religion in the city
Because of its remote desert location and the difficulty of approach, Yazd had remained largely immune to large battles and the destruction and ravages of war. For instance, it was a haven for those fleeing from destruction in other parts of Persia during the invasion of Genghis Khan. It was visited by Marco Polo in 1272 who remarked on the city's fine silk-weaving industry. It briefly served as the capital of the Muzaffarid Dynasty in the fourteenth century, and was sieged unsuccessfully in 1350–1351 by the Injuids under Shaikh Abu Ishaq. The Friday (or Congregation) Mosque, arguably the city's greatest architectural landmark, as well as other important buildings, date to this period. During the Qajar dynasty (18th Century AD) it was ruled by the Bakhtiari Khans.
There is a very amazing thing about Yazd and its people who moved to the east of Yazd. In the rule of the Safavis (16. century) people from Yazd migrated to a place and called it Yazdi: This place is currently on the Iranian-Afghan border in the province of Farah, in Farah city in Afghanistan. The people of Yazdi in Farah city, in the province of Farah, are all Persians and Shi'ite (Shi'a) Muslims. They speak with an accent that is very similar to the Iranian people of Yazd. These Shi'ite-Persians in Yazdi of Farah city are forgotten.
Architecture and Heritage
Yazd has some of the finest examples of traditional desert Persian residential architecture.Yazd is of foremost importance as a centre of Persian architecture. Because of its climate, it has one of the largest networks of qanats in the world, and Yazdi qanat makers are considered the most skilled in Iran. To deal with the extremely hot summers, many old buildings in Yazd have magnificent windcatchers, and large underground areas. The city is also home to prime examples of yakhchals, the latter of which were used to store ice retrieved from glaciers the nearby mountains. Yazd is also one of the largest cities built almost entirely out of adobe.
Yazd's heritage as a centre of Zoroastrianism is also important. There is a Tower of Silence on the outskirts, and the city itself has a Fire Temple, which holds a fire that has been kept alight continuously since 470 AD. Presently, Zoroastrians make up a significant minority of the population, around 20 - 40,000 or 5 to 10%.
