Mexico City International Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional de la Ciudad de México or AICM), also called Benito Juárez International Airport (IATA: MEX, ICAO: MMMX) is a commercial airport that serves Mexico City, the capital of Mexico. It is Mexico's and Latin America's busiest.

This hot and high airport offers direct flights to more than 100 destinations worldwide. In 2009, the airport served 24,243,056 passengers, a decrease of 7.5% compared with 2008, who received 26,210,217. This modest decline was mainly due to the global financial crisis and the outbreak of influenza. In optimal conditions, and with the current renovations and expansion projects completed, the Benito Juárez airport will be able to handle up to 32 million passengers per year.[3]. It provides non-stop services from Mexico City to North America, Central America and Caribbean, South America, Europe and Asia.

Bolaven Plateau’s Majestic Tad Yuang Falls by Ben The Man

360 251

Please take your time... and enjoy it large on black

Welcome to Tad Yuang waterfalls. Located on the Bolaven Plateau, which was formed by an ancient volcano in Southern Laos, one of the most scenic spots in the region. Going downward on a paved trail is the magnificent dual torrent and multi-tiered waterfalls of Tad Yuang. It falls into a deep pool surrounded by lush vegetation leading to a thick forest. There were no other people at that time we were there. The falls themselves drop far below. Beyond the waterfalls stretches the extensive jungle of Dong Hua Sao, one of the 18 National Biodiversity Conservation Areas in the country. Open since 2000, trekking trails are the best and perhaps the only way to get into the park. Dong Hau Sao is home to a healthy population of tigers, though you are more likely to see monkey, gigantic butterflies and in the wet season, dozens of great horn-bills who like to hang out at the bottom of the falls. Thanks to its location on an elevation of 1300 meters and surrounded by clouds forests, temperatures are much lower than elsewhere in Laos. A cloud forest, is a tropical evergreen highland moist forest characterized by a high incidence of low-level cloud cover, usually at the canopy level. Within cloud forests, much of the condensation is in the form of fog drip, where fog condenses on tree leaves and then drips onto the ground below. Even in the hottest period of the year, March and April, temperatures in the daytime usually do not reach over 27 Celsius, while at night it cools down considerably. Starting July, when rain starts to fall more regularly, temperatures drop and a sweater in addition to a rain coat is recommended. Do definitely pack warm clothes when staying with us between November and February.

Photo of Tad Yuang waterfall of Dong Hua Sao National park near Paksong - Southern Laos - taken during our trekking. This fall is located up to 1300 meters above sea level, with the cool climate, abundant rainfall and rich volcanic soil. My son BieJee and daughter Samantha are going downward on a paved trail towards this magnificent viewpoint near one of the falls. A place where you don't stay dry. A beautiful view on the edge of a hill overlooking the mist-covered jungle mountainside waterfalls. The real beauty of cloud forest. An endless flow of water is created and if windy, the mist sprays over the remote mountains into the rainforest and created this misty and beautiful atmosphere. Tropical cloud forests are a rare type of evergreen mountain forest found in tropical areas where local climatic conditions cause cloud and mist to be regularly in contact with the forest vegetation. These forests support ecosystems of distinctive floristic and structural form and contain a large number of the world’s endemic and threatened species.The endless cool breeze helps capture a full taste of nature. It is a ideal spot for tourists to relax and enjoy nature.

Welkom bij de Tad Tuang waterval in het nationale park van Dong Hua Sao. Er nog veel meer watervallen in het park te zien vooral in de regentijd. De krachtige watervallen geven een regen van nevel af. Er sluierde een mysterieuze nevel door de regenwoud tijdens onze wandeltocht. Je snuift de frisse berglucht en kunt genieten van het buiten zijn. De ervaring van het in de jungle zijn met de vele geluiden is al uniek. Heerlijk omgeven door intiem mysterieuze nevel. Het hooggelegen en dus koele Tad Fane gaat waarschijnlijk deel uitmaken van het 6000 vierkante km grote beschermde natuurgebied Dong Hua Sao. Met een gids verkennen we het schitterende natuurgebied en maken een tocht langs verschillende woeste watervallen. Met af een toe een prachtige uitzicht over het tropisch nevelwoud. Een nevelwoud is een bergbos bedekt met wolken en mist. De planten kunnen waterdruppels opnemen die condenseren op de bladeren en takken. Het nevelwoud is een zeldzame vorm van een bos. Van alle tropische bossen is maar 2,5% nevelwoud. Maar liefst 86% van alle nevelwouden staat bij het Wereld Natuur Fonds op de lijst van beschermde bossen. De nevelwouden zijn net als regenwouden volop begroeid met verschillende soorten planten. Die moeten beschermd worden tegen uitsterven omdat met het verlies van de soorten bijvoorbeeld eetbare planten verloren gaan. Een plek met bijzondere flora en fauna waar vooral de wandelaars aan hun trekken komen. In de regentijd zijn de paden wel spekglad en zul je gastheer zijn van tientallen bloedzuigers. Je loopt via olifantenpaden langs bergrivieren en je ziet prachtige watervallen waar je ook kunt zwemmen. Vanaf de rotswanden op 1300 meter hoogte zijn de uitzichten adembenemend. Afhankelijk van het seizoen zie je bloeiende bomen, wilde orchideeen en zeldzame vlinders. Een prachtig reservaat met meer dan 300 vogelsoorten. Diep in het park leven er nog panters, tijgers en een groep wilde Aziatische olifanten. Welkom in het verafgelegen Laos!

Please take your time... and enjoy it large on black

Welcome to Dong Hua Sao National park. Located on the Bolaven Plateau, which was formed by an ancient volcano in Southern Laos, one of the most scenic spots in the region. Our resort overlooks the Tad Fane waterfalls, thundering down in a 200 meter deep gorge. The light and color in the surrounding foliage brings the image to life. The falls themselves drop far below where the eye can see, due to the vegetation so you may want to hazard the steep cliff-side trail which ultimately leads down to the base of the falls. If you wear stout shoes and are prepared to hold onto tree branches you'll be fine and can have a dip in the plunge pool at the base of the falls. Staying at the resort means you'll have plenty of time for this worthwhile side-venture. Beyond the waterfalls stretches the extensive jungle of Dong Hua Sao, one of the 18 National Biodiversity Conservation Areas in the country. Open since 2000, Tad Fane is one of Laos pioneering nature resorts at the edge of the 1100-sq-km Dong Hua Sao NPA where the trekking trails are the best and perhaps the only way to get into the park. Dong Hau Sao is home to a healthy population of tigers, though you are more likely to see monkey, gigantic butterflies and in the wet season, dozens of great horn-bills who like to hang out at the bottom of the falls.

The highest point, Phou Tabeng, is 1,280 m. The area has about 300 bird species inclusive the Great Egret shown above. Within the park clouded leopard, tiger and a small population of wild Asian elephants can be seen. It is a ideal spot for tourists to relax and enjoy nature.

Metropolitan Correctional Center - downtown Chicago hdr by Mister Joe

66 58

Well, Chicago has surprised me once again. I came across this very unique building the other night, and learned it is in fact, a huge prison right in downtown Chicago. That explains the tiny windows. This grand triangular structure, sometimes referred to as "the prism," is named the Metropolitan Correctional Center.

It is a vertical prison, and supposedly has this shape in order to reduce the time needed to patrol its halls.

This brutalist 70's design struck me as a very odd building, indeed. But who knew it was a jail? There is rumored to be an exercise area on the rooftop.

Once again, to be able to get a size I want and as much in the shot as possible, this is 3 vertical images stitched together, and 3 exposures for each image. Tonemapped all in Photomatix, then stitched together in Photoshop.

Misty Winter Morning by Uschi

This week winter came back and brought a lot of snow again. On Friday it has been a very cold and misty morning. I could watch the lovely sunrise from my balcony shortly before going to work.

It was not so spectacular like the one you can see in my comment but I love the mood. Although the atmosphere was really beautiful, I'm still looking for Spring ;-) !

If you have time view Large On Black

Diese Woche kam der Winter mit heftigem Schneefall und sehr kalten Temperaturen zurück. Der Freitag begann sehr nebelig und ich konnte einen wundervollen Sonnenaufgang hinter meinem Haus beobachten. Er war sicher nicht so spektakulär wie der im späten Herbst, den ihr unten im Kommentar sehen könnt, aber halt von ganz besonderer Atmosphäre.

Auch wenn es eine fantastische Stimmung war, sehne ich mich immer noch nach dem Frühjahr ;-)!

Basilica del Pilar - Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar

El templo catedralicio y basilical de Nuestra Señora del Pilar es, artísticamente, uno de los monumentos arquitectónicos más importantes de la Cristiandad.

La antigua tradición nos habla de una capilla de adobes, construida por los convertidos a orillas del Ebro, en el lugar de la aparición. El edificio del Pilar se documenta por escrito desde el siglo IX como Iglesia de Santa María.

Tras la conquista de Zaragoza por Alfonso I (1118), fue sustituido por una templo románico a finales del siglo XII, sufriendo grandes modificaciones un siglo más tarde.

El templo románico fue edificado durante el pontificado del obispo Don Pedro de Librana, del que se conserva sólo un tímpano (hoy colocado en el muro sur junto a la puerta baja del templo); es un tímpano centrado por gran crismón rodado que se decora con cierta ingenuidad y monotonía, con rosetas inscritas en círculos unas, más naturalistas otras y recortadas las de la parte baja por las mordeduras del tiempo en el borde inferior de la piedra; el medio punto se decora, en modo continuo y envolvente, con una cinta formando lazos. Es la llamada lápida del «Lábaro de Constantino», de la que deriva el uso en los templos españoles de escribir el nombre de Cristo con X y con P griega. El templo gótico sufrió un incendio en 1434, por lo que exigió nuevas construcciones, acabadas en 1515.

La creciente devoción pilarista impuso el alzado de un nuevo templo, mayor que el gótico, de una sola nave y claustro anejo (rectangular y sencillo, doble largo que ancho, y de unos 85 metros2), que comenzó a calificarse en el siglo XVII, y en el que queda incorporada la Santa Capilla.

La traza general del templo se encargó a Francisco de Herrera el Mozo, cuyas obras comenzaron en 1681; lo principal del edificio barroco, incluidas sus cúpulas, estaba terminado en 1754. Mientras, el Cabildo ya había decidido en 1725 transformar el aspecto de la Santa Capilla, lo que se encomendó a Ventura Rodríguez, quedando concluida en 1765.

El templo del Pilar, joya del barroco aragonés, queda constituido como un inmenso salón (planta rectangular de 130 x 96 m., con una altura máxima de 80 m.) de tres largas naves, más ancha la central que las laterales, divididas en siete tramos, donde alternan a tresbolillo bóvedas y cúpulas, sosteniéndose sobre grandes arcos apoyados en robustos pilares de sección cuadrada -salvo los de la cúpula central, poligonales- todos ellos decorados con pilastras corintias adosadas entre las cuales se inscriben esbeltas hornacinas con dorados flamencos. En medio de la nave central se encuentra el Altar Mayor que contiene el Retablo, una de las obras de arte más importantes de este templo. Rodea el conjunto una serie de capillas, las dos sacristías, el pequeño Coro frente a la Santa Capilla y otras dependencias.

Desde 1676 ostenta la dignidad catedralicia. El 24 de junio de 1948 el Papa Pío XII concedía a la Catedral de Nuestra Señora del Pilar el título y dignidad de Basílica Menor, con el Breve "Decus ornarnentumque". Y desde el 22 de junio de 1904 es Monumento Histórico-Artístico Nacional

A steel mill on a river late in the day. The water was very calm today, I have never seen this part of the river so calm at this time of the day, you can see the water "gently" flowing by.

About the Photo

*Camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS *Lens: EF-S 18-55mm ƒ/3.5-5.6 IS *Shutter Speed: N/A *Aperture Value: ƒ/11 *ISO: 100 *Focal Length:18mm (28.8mm Equivalent)

I shot this on a tripod using mirror lockup, a polarizing filter, and a 2Sec. selftimer. This is composed of six exposures, one average exposure, three 1 stop underexposures, and two 1 stop overexposures. I opened the RAW files in Photomatix Pro and toned mapped them to my liking. Then I used ACR to polish up the 16 bit TIFF file and opened it in CS4 were I removed dust spots and added my watermark.

Jumping spider by Rundstedt B. Rovillos

476 290

The jumping spider is typically found in tropic regions. The tropic regions that they are found in are very different, anywhere from the rain forest to the Himalayas. The jumping spider can be found anywhere in these climates, if its day the spider can be found on the ground, on rocks, in the grass, or on trees. At night or if it is raining, the jumping spider will hide under rocks or a small web.

Moonrise memories - Ricordi al sorgere di Luna by Robyn Hooz

35 149

Today I have been driving back to my hometown, the places where I have grown up. There comes a time in the year when I can really smell in the air the taste of spring coming up, and this was the day. I went there to take pictures of the sunset (which actually I did some), but on the other side of the horizon, I hesitated in front of an unexpected moonrise. It looked gorgeous, as the air was very clear. That awesome moon, floating on the top of my long-known hills, still lit by the last sunrays, started to pour a river of memories into my mind. I could not stop the superposition of fragments of those memories, just at random… the cans of cheap beer barely hidden and the first cigarettes stolen from our parents, the many dreams about our future lives and what we would have become, the first challenges of love, no worries about tomorrow and the uncertainty about the present time.

Tonight, for a handful of minutes, I felt again the same, just until the sun faded finally behind me.

Dedicated to all of those who look in depth at the details

PS: By the way, I don't smoke (anymore) but still like beer :) It helps to remember...

Oggi sono tornato nella mia città natale, i luoghi dove sono cresciuto. Arriva un momento, durante l’anno, in cui riesco veramente a sentire il profumo della primavera, nell’aria, e oggi era proprio quel giorno. Sono andato a fare fotografie del tramonto (e qualcuna in effetti l’ho scattata), ma dall’altra parte dell’orizzonte ho esitato davanti ad un inatteso sorgere di luna. Era impressionante, per l’aria molto tersa. Quella fantastica Luna, che galleggiava sopra alle mie colline note da sempre e illuminate ancora dagli ultimi barlumi di sole, mi riversava nella mente un fiume di ricordi. Non potevo arginare la caotica sovrapposizione di frammenti di memorie… Le lattine di birra a basso costo a malapena celate e le prime sigarette rubate ai genitori, i molti sogni sulle nostre vite future e su quello che saremmo diventati da grandi, le prime sfide dell’amore, la spensieratezza per il domani e l’incertezza del presente.

Stasera, per una manciata di minuti, ho provato esattamente quelle stesse cose, ancora una volta, fin quando il sole è finalmente tramontato dietro di me.

Dedicato a tutti coloro che guardano i dettagli in profondità

A proposito, non fumo (più) ma non dico di no ad una birra :) aiuta a ricordare...

Petite Princesse by Domi Rolland

52 325

Petite Princesse

Tu écoutes chanter les vagues

Pour rendre heureuse ton Ame

Pour ne pas que ton esprit divague

Tu penses qu’ un jour tu seras Femme

Là-bas ! Tout au loin

Ton Avenir …

De Toi, prends toujours bien soin

Le Soleil se décide à venir

Prêt de Toi

Pour réchauffer ton Coeur

Tu as tout le temps, et l’Avenir devant Toi

Je te souhaite que du Bonheur

Domi

Little Princess

You listen to the waves sing

To make your soul happy

To do that your mind wanders

You think that one day you'll Male

There! Far away

Your Future ...

You, always take good care

The sun decided to come

Ready for You

To warm your heart

You have all the time, and the Future to You

I wish you Happiness

Domi

Ne bakıyosun Leeen ! by Ali AYDOGMUS

73 165

çoçuktuk gözleri gülen

Güleç yüzlü ve toz pembeydi dedirten

Ne olduda büyüdük biz ?

Öğrendik Hasedi, Kirlenmeyi

Oysa ne oyunlar oynardık masumca

Büyüdük değişmedi sandık, oynadık yine

Ama bu sefer biraz haince !

Hani yarım ekmek arası mutlu ederdi bizi

Şimdi ne değişti sofralar yetmedi ?

Biz büyüdük diyemi dünya kirlendi

Yoksa Büyüdüğümüzdemi öğrendik zaten dünya kirliydi !
