This is the cover photo of my set Life Line DIGOMBOR
This Photo was Taken form one static point on High way Dhaka –Sylhet Road at DIGOMBOR Bazar, and Mile stone -67, It was 25th Dec 2010 in the evening in between 4:00 pm to 05:00pm . The Idea was to Capture Life Style of Sylhet BANGLADESH at High way , The High way code is no factor when question of daily earning comes , This is a normal and a routine activities almost all over BNGLADESH, Rural People takes Highway as there Life Line , and for daily earning hey need to go to market and sell. Buy there goods and daily commodities, So the traffic code is not important here, Life is impotent for survival. I was Noticed by Locals , Every Week in an average >b> 1 / 2 Road accident takes Places over the pedestrian at this point , still there life style do not Change.

This is my best shot from last summer trip to Sicily. I kept it unposted for so long, because I am about to be away from flickr for a couple of weeks... so I wanted you guys to have something that I think it will be nice to look for so long. I am going west, as the beautiful light of this sunset shows...
:)
see you soon!

Questa è la mia foto migliore fra quelle del viaggio in Sicilia. Non l'ho pubblicata prima perchè starò assente da flickr per un paio di settimane e per questo motivo ho voluto lasciarvi qualcosa che reputo bello da guardare per un tempo così lungo. Vado ad Ovest, verso la bella luce di questo tramonto...
:)
A presto!

The pier (Same word in Welsh and English)
I'm up at 8.am. to watch Andy Murray. Update: Who was hammered :((
HSS! :) This will be my contribution to the Sliders Sunday group for today.
Proocessing: the image below is at 0EV, whereas the one above is made up of two images, +1 EV and -1 EV. In RAW, I do like to push 'clarity' to around 70-80 and 'vibrance' to around 30-40. The two were combined as layers in Elements and the foreground of the sky version was erased to show the lighter pier underneath. There is also an adjustment layer with the pier selected and the histogram triangles were tweaked to make the planks more contrasty. Finally, the sky was burnt a little using a 500pixel soft brush at 20% opacity :)
My good Flickr friend Roni has suggested that I shoot the same location over a period of time. This view has been taken before, you can see the other versions here: tirluniau/landscapes .Visit Roni's stream to see some acutely observed macro images which ooze warm colours :)
If you know it works :)....
Also, been reading a bit (due to my current condition lol) and become aware of a couple of things like.. my in-camera noise reduction will be off next time I shoot and that the 'colour' noise reduction slider has an impact at around 12-15. Remember to zoom in to 100% when you're checking your noise!! :)

Tundra swans are on their way to the resting places on the shores that they use each winter. A couple of thousands come as passing migrants, and their winter quarters are in the wetlands of the Netherlands. The Tundra Swan is a small Arctic swan. The Mute Swan with the orange bill is more known in the Netherlands. The breeding range of the Tundra swans extends across the coastal lowlands of Siberia. They start to arrive on the breeding grounds around mid-May, and leave for winter quarters around the end of September. According to National Geographic when migrating these birds can fly at altitudes of even 8 km; Tundra Swan flocks usually fly in V formation. The Tundra Swan remains far less known; the European winter population was estimated only at 15,000. About 15% of the adults die each year from various causes, and thus the average lifespan in the wild is about 10 years. The Tundra Swans mate in the late spring, usually after they have returned to the nesting grounds; as usual for swans, they pair monogamously until one partner dies. Should one partner die long before the other, the surviving bird often will not mate again for some years, or even for its entire life.
Photo of Tundra swans taken at the IJmeer near Durgerdam - the Netherlands. The flight call of the latter is a low and soft ringing bark, bow-wow...; the Whistling Swan gives a markedly high-pitched trisyllabic bark like wow-wow-wow in flight.
De Kleine Zwaan is een kwetsbare vogelsoort waarvan er nu nog maar 15.000 in Europa rondvliegen. Kleine Zwanen zijn Noordpoolcirkel broedvogels die elk jaar een tocht van 8.000 km op en neer maken tussen hun broedgebieden in het uiterste noorden van Rusland rond de poolcirkel en hun overwinteringgebieden in NW-Europa. Nederland en Engeland spelen daarin een hoofdrol. Specifiek ook het noordelijk deel van Noord-Holland met zijn uitgestrekte akkers, heeft een sleutelpositie tijdens de trektocht. Kleine zwanen verschillen onder andere van de ons bekendere knobbelzwaan door hun grootte. De kleine zwaan wordt zo'n 127 centimeter, en de knobbelzwaan wel 150 centimeter. Anders dan bij de wilde zwaan heeft de kleine zwaan minder geel op de snavel. Kleine zwanen zijn vanaf oktober tot maart te zien in Nederland. Ze komen in Nederland meestal voor in kleine tot heel grote troepen. Daarin zijn wel nog duidelijk de gezinnetjes te onderscheiden, dus wijfje en mannetje met één, soms twee of drie jongen en niet zelden zonder jongen. Tegenwoordig vinden ze bij aankomst in het najaar nog voldoende voedsel kranswieren en foneinkruidknollen, maar als het voedsel in het IJsselmeer later schaarser wordt wijken ze uit naar vooral grasland en soms ook naar akkers met oogstresten, zoals bieten. Op Europese schaal wordt de kleine zwaan beschermt door de vogelrichtlijn, in Nederland door de Flora- en Faunawet.

The Story
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Be forewarned that if you recognize me on a beach such as Pfeiffer Beach in Big Sur, I will think of you as part of nature and work you in somehow! I met Jared hiding behind the forest of about a dozen tripods. While most of them were taking the same shot, Jared was up there taking the blows for the sake of landscape photography. He had an umbrella that he used as a shield and it did a good job but as you can see in the big version, it did not protect his entire body. But the camera is most important, right?
This is what the edge of nature photography is all about. (Well almost.) Pushing the limits. Risking your equipment on slippery rocks while trying to stay out of the shots of the rest of those that had gathered in this place to see this spectacle. Sure, not everyone is in perfect shape to attempt these feats, but it is good to step out of your comfort zone to see what you can discover regardless of age or disability!
Here is one of the photos that Jared captured at the portal. I think it was taken slightly to the left of where he is in this photo, but you get the idea. Have a look!

Simply the best way to scout out locations that there is. You can see sun angles and pre-visualize light under lots of different conditions. Sometimes you can actually pre-compose your shots! This has saved me many thousands of vertical feet of climbing by avoiding spots with blocked views etc.

Taken from the same helipad from my previous shot, this time looking in the opposite direction.
You can clearly see the Burj Al Arab, the Jumeira Palm Island and The Atlantis hotel, and the buildings on the far end are in Dubai Marina, where I live.
I don't like the building on the left, but it was very difficult to compose differently as I was already completely on the right side. I also did not want to crop out the building and then cut off the main 'vein' and also lose all the details on the left far end.
Please check the whole series so far:
La gente considera l'acqua del lago Pushkar come molto sacra ed il rituale di presa dei tuffi nell'acqua santa è creduto di concedere la salvezza. Il tuffo santo è più promettente su Kartik Poornima. Anche prima dell'alba, la gente discende i ghats, aiutati “dai panda (sacerdoti del Brahmin) per prendere il bagno sacro. Le offerte della noce di cocco, dei fiori e dei contanti sono fatte al lago ed ai sacerdoti.

El Carrión nace a 2.220 msnm, en la Laguna de Fuentes Carrionas, en el término municipal de Velilla del Río Carrión, dentro de un circo glaciar rodeado de cumbres de más de 2.400 m de altitud.
En la ciudad de Palencia el río se abre en varios brazos dos veces formando dos islas de gran tamaño y tres más pequeñas. El Carrión fue desde tiempos muy remotos el centro de la vida capitalina, el Puentecillas (el puente más antiguo de la ciudad, de origen romano) ya permitía el paso desde la fachada principal de la catedral al Sotillo de los Canónigos (situado en la segunda isla más grande).
This is the largest fig tree to grow in Europe.
Ficus macrophylla, commonly known as the Moreton Bay Fig, is a large evergreen banyan tree of the Moraceae family that is a native of most of the eastern coast of Australia, from the Atherton Tableland (17° S) in the north to the Illawarra (34° S) in New South Wales, and Lord Howe Island. Its common name is derived from Moreton Bay in Queensland, Australia. It is best known for its beautiful buttress roots, which are also known for damaging municipal footpaths.

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was a Poet, Philosopher, Musician, Writer, Educator, and the first Indian Nobel Laureate for Literature (1913). Tagore has been labelled the "King of Poets" for his beautiful and exquisite poetry. In particular Tagore had a deep love and reverence for nature which he was able to express through lyrical poetry.
Tagore was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1913 for his book Gitanjali. W.B.Yeats in particular was deeply impressed with this work and wrote an introduction. With this honour Tagore became famous in both India and the West. In 1915 Tagore was knighted by King George, however Tagore was to return his knighthood in protest of the Amritsar massacre (1919)
As a writer, Tagore primarily worked in Bengali, but after his success with Gitanjali, he translated many of his other works into English..

The Story
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a bit of a backlog of photos made during the past two months so here is one from December 30th in Oceanside, California just north of San Diego.
It had been clear all day and by noon, things were looking grim for any sort of a dramatic sunset. I was watching the satellite movies during the day and this very same band of clouds had set in over the ocean but too far out to be very interesting. Most of the time the weather and winds come from the west off of the ocean. But about 3 hours before sunset, the band evaporated and reformed almost overhead. Then I started to worry whether it would stick around for sunset. Of course there is always something to worry about, right?
Fortunately, the cloud bank held up all the way to sunset and I saw this amazing scene just as I had hoped. It extended to the north and south for at least 50 miles in each direction. The cloud was moving quickly but it was evaporating on the backside and forming in the front side, so overall it remained in place for hours. It was still there at 10 at night!
Needless to say, it is really important to study the clouds to know whether it is worth your effort to drive 40 miles as I did to capture this scene. I watched the cloud and realized that it would hold in place despite how it seemed to move so quickly.
Also, I just learned that I will have a photo in the 2012 Nature Conservancy Calendar. That makes three years in a row. Voting is going on to see which one will be the cover photo, but at least I know I'm in there!
The map shows the exact location.

Flooded floodplains along the river IJssel (Rhine delta) in the Netherlands
Last month (December 2010 and early January 2011) it snowed and rained a lot in the basin of the river Rhine (Switzerland, Germany, France and the Netherlands). The meltwater and rainwater has given flooding in the Rhine delta. Every few years there have been floods in the floodplain of the river IJssel. The IJssel, also called Gelderse IJssel, is the northern branch of the Rhine delta in the Dutch provinces of Gelderland and Overijssel.
Overstroomde uiterwaarden langs de IJssel bij Leuvenheim tussen Brummen en Spankeren
De afgelopen maand (december 2010 en begin januari 2011) heeft het eerst veel gesneeuwd en daarna geregend in het stroomgebied van de Rijn (Zwitserland, Duitsland, Frankrijk en Nederland).
Het smeltwater en het regenwater hebben flinke overstromingen gegeven in de Rijndelta. Ook bij de Gelderse IJssel, de meest noordelijke tak van de Rijndelta van Arnhem in Gelderland tot Kampen in Overijssel.

On this photograph the Comments were deactivated......this was to see how a brighter copy looks here but with the bad connection , there were glitches and it showed up as public instead of private.
This is a brighter version of the photograph posted earlier. Printing the image shows up the pictures to be dark and the sheer power and dynamism that a back lit screen that shows high contrasts even in the darker areas tends to deceive the eyes.
So to get a new print done, this photo has been brightened a tad in the paint brush area and a bit of the face.

The beautiful town of Ermoupolis is the capital of Syros as well as of the entire Cyclades. It is a commercially and culturally developed sea settlement of a great architectural beauty, a great reminder of the brilliant past of the city. This town was founded by the refugees and Greek revolutionaries who came from various parts of Greece, such as Chios, Psara, Kassos, Crete, Asia Minor, to the French-protected Syros to escape the massacres organized by the Turks during the Greek Independence and after the Revolution of 1821.
Houses are built very closely, one on the top of the other, surrounded by rocky slopes which were a protective fortress of great efficacy against the pirates and all the other enemies who threatened the island during 1200 AD, when the settlement of Ano Syros was built. To build this marvellous town, many European architects came from various countries like Germany, Italy and Greece, and joined their talents in a glorification of artistic and architectural beauty.

Then I asked my friend to leave a Mobile hand set On!!! at the middle ground, and took the focus from the mobile set, although the mobile looks like the flash just at the tip of the camera but its at least 20 yards far for camera . I really Enjoy such venture with my lens and Tripod at dark night , while my visit to Raj Surath Village of DIGOMBAR , HOBIGONJ in 24-25th Dec 2010.

ALCAZAR DE SEGOVIA.
El alcázar es de cuatro diferentes estilos: románico, gótico, mudéjar, renacentista. Incluye un patio, una fosa, el puente levadizo y en su interior una capilla y varias salas nobles que pueden ser visitadas por el público. Algunas de las salas contienen los retratos de todos los Reyes de España.
El alcázar ha inspirado los dibujos de varios castillos de Disney.
Se encuentra encima de una roca con forma de proa de un barco dominando los ríos Eresma y Clamores. Fue una inexpugnabile fortaleza durante siglos, por eso era la clava de la denominación de Castilla. Isabel la Católica salió del alcázar para ser proclamada reina en la Plaza Mayor de Segovia.

Another picture of a strange looking tree. This one was taken in Boston on a night of (almost) full moon. I like how the lights at the bottom form a rough parabola. There was so much light pollution that the sky did appear to have a hue of pink (no special color has been added to the sky)!

Welcome to Alyki lagoon series.
Happy new year!
This part of series is shot in the aquatic settlement of Alyki which
is situated on the eastern part of Samos island close to the Asia Minor coastline.
In Alyki, the inhabitants of Samos used to get the best salt production in Greece.
That stopped happening in the year of 1965.
Today, the settlement of Alyki is of great ecological significance,
part of the program «Natura 2000», as well as the «Special Protection Areas-SPA» program.
Here, the visitor can see various species of animals,
such as hedgehogs, ferrets, river-turtles, lizards etc.
Additionally, there have been recorded more than 127 bird species,like Flamingos e.t.c.
So if you are a nature lover, do not miss visiting the area of unique beauty.
