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.

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.
11 aprile 2009 in questa bellissima piazza , con Nadia abbiamo incontrato Serena ,
Prima foto in notturno che posto ...............siate buoni
Piazza Unità d'Italia è la piazza principale di Trieste. Si trova ai piedi del colle di San Giusto, tra il Borgo Teresiano e Borgo Giuseppino.
La piazza si apre da un lato sul Golfo di Trieste ed è circondata da numerosi palazzi ed edifici pubblici. Di pianta rettangolare, per superficie è la più grande piazza d'Europa che si affaccia sul mare.
Nella piazza hanno oggi sede, tra gli altri, il Municipio di Trieste, il palazzo della Giunta Regionale del Friuli-Venezia Giulia e la prefettura del capoluogo.

I thought I'd give you a bit wider view of yesterday's photo. Again, this is Neahkahnie, where Neahkahnie mountain meets the Pacific Ocean. Those rocks that are furthest out are the ones I was zoomed in on. I figured you could appreciate this amazing place a bit more from this view. :) I'll show you the other side one of these days, though that seemed to be the misty side, so it will take a fair amount of cleaning up.
Thanks for your visit, fav, & comment (even short!) :) :

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!
En Vizcaya-Esuskadi entre Bermeo y Bakio, se encuentra la Ermita de San Juan de Gaztelugatxe en un islote de roca, unido a la costa por un puente de piedra de 3 ojos. Para subir a la ermita, que se encuentra a 150 metros de altura, hay 237 escalones labrados sobre la roca.
Espero que tanto el lugar el lugar como las tomas sean de vuestro agrado.
Yo recomiendo que si teneis la oportunidad de visitarlo no dejeis de hacerlo.

Italia, Toscana, Livorno, Terrazza Mascagni, Inverno 2011
La Terrazza Mascagni è un grande piazzale delimitato verso il mare da una sinuosa balaustra formata da 4.100 eleganti colonnine in conglomerato cementizio; il pavimento è costituito da una scacchiera di 8.700 metri quadrati formata da 34.800 piastrelle bianche e nere. Dal punto di vista architettonico, nonostante il periodo in cui fu progettata, non risente dei rigorosi dettami stilistici del regime, assumendo piuttosto, per il candore delle superfici e l'infinità delle colonnine, un aspetto di astrazione metafisica.
Terrazza Mascagni is a walkway divided from the sea by a handrail and is named in honour to Pietro Mascagni.

Cales Coves has a small coarse beach reached by a short walk down a steep sided limestone gorge. It has two small beaches. Access is from the road between Cala’n Porter and Sant Climent but be warned! The road down to Cales Coves is about 1.5 km long and very bumpy. It is worth the 10-15 minute drive though, as you will discover once you arrive at the small parking area. Apart from the beautiful bays at Cales Coves you will also discover a few fascinating burial caves with its necropolis from 9 B.C. This beach sports more than 100 prehistoric caves that have made it famous. Some you can reach via a footpath over the cliffs, which also takes you over the rock head and on to a second cove. There are many caves high up in the walls of the gorge, making the exploration of this area very exciting for children and their mom & dad as well. Some caves are inaccessible. If you have the time and energy check out Cales Coves smaller second bay by clambering over the rock head, then go for a dip in the bay's other fork. Nudists use the rocky shelves and cave entrances and swim in the waters of the coves. Menorca is laid back and offers many golden opportunities for Naturists on its unspoiled shores. There are several naturist beaches around the island where Nudity is permitted but not required.
Cales Coves is an attractive bay situated on the South East coast of Menorca. Nudists use the rocky shelves and prehistoric cave entrances and swim in the clear waters of the coves getting "back to nature". Naturism is a lifestyle in harmony with nature. Menorca is laid back and offers many golden opportunities for Naturists on its unspoiled shores.
Het kost heel wat moeite er te komen – een ruige rit op vier wielen of een stevige wandeltocht tussen de olijfbomen van Son Vitamina – maar als u bij Cales Coves arriveert, wordt u begroet door één van de meest onvergetelijke plekken op Menorca. De kliffen die op deze beschutte baai neerkijken herbergen meer dan 100 grotten uit de Bronstijd, uit de rots gehakt en gebruikt als grafkamers en woningen – de doden waren de buren van de levenden. De oudste grotten dateren van de 9de eeuw v.Chr.; volg het voetpad over de rotsen aan uw rechterhand en u bereikt een tweede baai. Onderweg komt u langs recentere grotten - 4de eeuw v.Chr., met ramen, binnenplaatsen en cellen. Sommige dragen Romeinse inscripties, wat aangeeft dat ze ook na de Talaiot-tijd in gebruik waren. Er zijn zelfs grotten die nu nog bewoond worden door moderne holbewoners. U ziet ze water halen bij een bron en naakt in de kristallen zee baden. Van tijd tot tijd proberen de autoriteiten deze moderne holenmensen ertoe te bewegen te vertrekken, maar ze keren altijd terug. Als u een kijkje neemt in één van de onbewoonde grotten, ziet u hippieschilderijen met zonnen, manen en bloemen op de muren. De prehistorische bewoners hadden een goede plek uitgekozen – de hoek van de inhammen zorgt voor beschutting tegen de open zee. Dat maakt de baaien 's zomers ook goede ankerplaatsen voor pleziervaartuigen. De stranden zijn eerder kiezelig dan zanderig, maar u kunt vanaf de rotsen goed zwemmen. Cales Coves zijn een ideale bestemming voor rustzoekers en liefhebbers van zwemmen. Naturisme wordt dus in deze afgelegen baai toegestaan.
In 1902, the parks commission authorized construction of two windmills to pump subterranean water to supply Golden Gate Park. The first one, on the north side of the park facing the Pacific Ocean, was completed in 1903 and became known first as the North Windmill and later as the Dutch Windmill; it is now paired with the Queen Wilhelmina Tulip Garden. The second, Murphy's Windmill, on the south side of the park, began operation in 1908. They operated for several decades, but fell into disrepair after the park switched to electric water pumps. The Dutch Windmill was restored in 1981, but, as of 2009, Murphy's Windmill's restoration is still in progress.

My plan when taking this photo, was to shoot a sunrise picture of a heart in the sand, with the wave starting to wash it away. I figured this would be a great theme to post on my website for Valentine’s Day. I got to the beach just before 7AM, set up my camera , took a few shots, and waited for the sun to clear the clouds. As I was waiting, out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw something jump out of the water. Since it was 7AM, and my eyes are not used to being open at this time, I started to doubt myself on what I saw. Sure enough, a few minutes later, I saw two dolphins jump out of the water, like they were putting on a show at Sea World. I frantically took my camera off the tripod, changed lenses and waited for them to jump again. The next time they jumped, I was aiming north and they had moved to the south towards Delray Beach. I waited for awhile, but they kept getting getting further away. I’m just thankful that waking up at 6AM wasn’t a total waste and I was able to get this photograph. Actually, even though I didn’t get a photo of it, seeing the dolphins jump at sunrise was pretty spectacular.

"All men have the stars," he answered, "but they are not the same things for different people. For some, who are travellers, the stars are guides. For others they are no more than little lights in the sky. For others, who are scholars, they are problems. For my businessman they were wealth. But all the stars are silent. You--you alone--will have the stars as no one else has them--".
The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint Exupéry
For me? They are my dreams, my hopes, my wishes, my sighs and that very special quest for mistery that does never leave my soul.
Silenziosa luce delle stelle
"Gli uomini hanno delle stelle che non sono le stesse. Per gli uni, quelli che viaggiano, le stelle sono delle guide. Per altri non sono che delle piccole luci. Per altri, che sono dei sapienti, sono dei problemi. Per il mio uomo d'affari erano dell'oro. Ma tutte queste stelle stanno zitte. Tu, tu solo avrai delle stelle come nessuno ha... "
Il Piccolo Principe, Antoine de Saint Exupéry
Per me? Sono sogni, le speranze, i desideri e quella voglia di mistero che non mi lascia mai.

Una delle attrazioni turistiche più curiose ed affascinanti di Vienna è la casa "Hundertwasserhaus" costruita dall'architetto e pittore austriaco Friedensreich Hundertwasser.
E' nata come casa “popolare” per 50 famiglie povere delle capitale austriaca. Per queste famiglie l’architetto ha voluto creare un ambiente che fosse come la vita, non lineare, non razionale, colorata e multiforme, qualcosa di molto diverso dallo stile classico della Vienna imperiale
Ad oggi la struttura è interamente gestita dal comune di Vienna che mette in affitto i 50 interni al prezzo di 5 euro al metro quadro. Il comune, previ controlli, verifica la reale necessità della famiglia e predilige quei nuclei in cui è presente un individuo particolarmente interessato ed attivo nel mondo artistico contemporaneo.

This view of Seattle is my favorite captured from Alki Beach, but I experienced it all the time growing up and traveling across the Puget Sound. Like most cities Seattle has several iconic viewpoints, this being the best in my opinion, but I understand that some prefer Seattle with Mt. Rainier in the distance. I love how straight on city views compress and distort the size of cities, than when you go driving through them you suddenly realize how much bigger they are. Chicago is a perfect example of this. I love the waves and patterns of the Puget Sound here looking into Elliott Bay, I was lucky to grow up around these waters. I have more Seattle images on the way, eventually an individual set of the Emerald City will probably be coming. Thanks for checking this out. Enjoy!
