Era la Noche de los Museos, una larga Noche de Arte y Encuentros... Imposible dejar de ir...
Y fuimos, como siempre, cámara en mano, con ganas de hacer nuevos descubrimientos.
Mucha concurrencia, los Museos llenos, la gente alborotada...
Y no podÃamos dejar de pasar... Caminito... nos llamaba. ¡Caminito de Noche!!!
Y asà la encontré... y la tomé... sin trÃpode... sin pulso... y sabiendo que no iba a salir muy bien...
Pero valió la pena encontrar rectas, curvas, figuras geométricas, luces, sombras... y el famoso gato de Caminito.
¡A empezar la semana a todo color!!! ¡Un abrazo a todos!

Flaine Grand Massif is a beautiful ski area. It is surrounded in the North by Les Portes du Soleil, in the East by the Aravis, and in the south by the Mont Blanc region. A wonderful place for hiking in the summertime.

Though Travus loves to surf and spent the better part of the day doing so, his day wasn't going to be complete unless he got some fishing in ;-)

The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, also known as the Holocaust Memorial, is a memorial in Berlin to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust.
It consists of a 19,000 square meter (4.7 acre) site covered with 2,711 concrete slabs or "stelae", arranged in a grid pattern on a sloping field.

My close friends in Bali took me to their village in Karengasem. Their neighbors just had a cremation and the day I came was the ngeroras ceremony. The celebration was replete with long processions and dramatic offerings, and performances involving the topeng (mask), the wayang (shadow puppet) and the rejang dewa. The latter is a dance by pre-pubescent girls in these lavishly tall homemade coconut leaf headresses called gelung rejang. Stretching from morning to midnight, the ceremony is a showcase of cultural purity. The village actually welcomed me fully and did not mind that there was one Filipino, albeit in Balinese attire, taking pictures as if there was no tomorrow.

Dranesville Tavern was built in 1823. In 1865, the Alexandria Gazette described Dranesville Tavern as "one of the finest roadside inns in the State of Virginia." That tradition of excellence and hospitality continues today at this beautifully restored National Historic Landmark.

No place for error!!Jelly legs garantyThe Cobbler walk (Ben Arthur walk) climb from arrochar 5.5 miles ..2900 feetThe Cobbler, or Ben Arthur to use the correct name is just short of a Munro but is still one of Scotland's most spectacular mountains due to the unusual skyline and fabulous views. The Cobbler is one of a group of mountains known as 'The Arrochar Alps' and was the happy hunting ground of many of Scotland's early climbers and climbing clubs.
This is that gate ("torii") that appears so often on any publicity material about Japan. And no wonder, it is an impressive thing to behold. It sits in the sea just off the shore of Miyajima island near Hiroshima. It was built as the main approach to Itsukushima shrine.
At ebb tide it stands free of water and you can walk right up to it. At high tide, tourist boats sail underneath it.

(Palazzo Caracciolo di Avellino) ?
Chiedo lumi agli amici napoletani per l' esatta identificazione del luogo.
Ho finalmente avuto una risposta e adesso mi ricordo, si tratta dellla porta che dà accesso al cortile di San Domenico Maggiore col suo ingresso frontale.
Ringrazio l' anonimo informatore !
Riporto quì il testo integrale:
ATTENZIONE!!!!!!!!
NON si tratta del famoso palazzo CARACCIOLO Avellino ubicato nel largo omonimo, bensì dell'ingresso principale della chiesa di SAN DOMENICO MAGGIORE nel vicolo omonimo attiguo alla Piazza SAN DOMENICO. Nella foto si vede la porta d'ingresso al cortile posto innanzi al Convento ed al tempio. L'affresco raffigura la Vergine circondata e coronata da angeli che raccoglie sotto il suo manto tutti i seguaci dell'Ordine di S. Domenico tra i quali primeggia S. Tommaso. Si vuole che sia opera della scuola di Pompeo Landulfo. Benchè sia danneggiato dal tempo, l'affresco è ancora oggi in parte visibile.

Parc de la Ciutadella, Barcelona (Spain).
ENGLISH
A "discreet" parrot wanted to pass unnoticed between the herd of pigeons that pecked bread. Unfortunately for him it was discovered. In the last years the population of parrots in freedom in Barcelona has grown enormously, and they already dare to compete with the pigeons.
***
In 1714 Barcelona fell to the army of Philip V after a long siege. The dogged resistance of the city meant that its new rulers wanted to keep it under firm control.
A year later, Philip V ordered a giant new garrison fort, the largest in Europe, to be built in order to guard the city. The buildings of the Ribera district were demolished and in their place, in 1716, the new fortifications began to be erected, paid for by the city itself.
In 1841, the Junta de Vigilà ncia (Board of the Guard) began to dismantle it, but under the Regency it was restored in 1843.
After the anti-Bourbon revolution of September 1868, the Catalan general Joan Prim decideded to turn over the garrison fort, the Ciutadella, to the city, which from 1869 to 1888 had it pulled down, this time definitively. All that was preserved was the Governor's palace, the chapel and the arsenal.
In 1888 Barcelona held a Universal Exhibition, inspired by Mayor Rius i Taulet, and the park was built on the grounds of the demolished Ciutadella. This event marks the end of the old provincial Barcelona and the establishment of a modern cosmopolitan city.

CASTELLANO
Un "discreto" loro quiso pasar desapercibido entre la manada de palomas que picoteaba pan. Lamentablemente para él fue descubierto. En los últimos años la población de loros en libertad en Barcelona ha crecido enormemente, y ya se atreven a competir con las palomas.
***
En al año 1714, Barcelona fue sometida a un largo asedio por el ejército de Felipe V. La larga resistencia que opuso la ciudad dio lugar a que este rey quisiera asegurar su dominio.
Un año después, Felipe V ordenó la construcción de la ciudadela más grande de Europa, con el objetivo de poder vigilar la ciudad, y para construirla hizo derribar el barrio de la Ribera. El año 1716 se comenzó a construir las edificaciones, que fueron pagadas por la ciudad.
En 1841, la Junta de Vigilancia inició su derribo, pero la Regencia la restauró el año 1843.
Durante la revolución de septiembre el general catalán Joan Prim decretó la donación de la Ciudadela a la ciudad, que entre los años 1869 y 1888 la hizo derribar definitivamente. Se han conservado el palacio del Gobernador, la capilla y el arsenal.
En 1888, con motivo de la Exposición Universal, promovida per el alcalde Rius i Taulet, se construyó el parque en los terrenos de la demolida Ciudadela. Este hecho cambió la orientación de la vida de la ciudad: Barcelona se transforma en una ciudad cosmopolita.

Lo curioso de esta escalera del Vaticano era que los que subian no se veian con los que bajaban, ya que era una doble helice, como la del ADN.

Test shot with the new Polaroid SX-70 I've got from eBay, rather a clever little Polaroid, it's surprisingly small too, I rather like how easy it is to focus and how it look through the viewfinder, much better than looking through my Lubitel 166B viewfinder (quick note - i didn't like having the border on the Polaroid so I decided to just crop to the picture itself, nice and clean).
I managed to modified the 600 films into the SX-70, removing the ND filter on the sensor and set the camera to the darkest setting on the sensor, picture still came out slightly overexposed but not so much.
Who need Photoshop?
Edited - I've notice due to Polaroid announced that they won't be doing instant film anymore, this lead to an increase number of people searching "Polaroid" on Flickr, and since this polaroid came first out of the list of search, I take this chance to show you the Save Polaroid site;
"This site will document the aftermath of this announcement and will serve as a home-base for the effort to convince another company to begin producing the cherished technology that Polaroid has so carelessly abandoned, this is not about saving Polaroid, the company, rather the remarkable invention of Edwin Land, the instant film that made Polaroid a household name."
This is the picture we're going with for the final. I think the composition is more balanced, the tones more intense, the lighting dramatic. I might have to add some elements for the final (bringing more definition to the light going out, etc).
There are times I curse at the street lights and at the lights from the Cliff House, but this night I found them to be quite the blessing.
