Hello everybody! I hope everyone is doing well!
I just got back from my favorite place in the world, Banff, Canada! God blessed me on this trip with incredible weather as it turned out to be a photographer's paradise filled with crisp snow, colorful trees and amazingly blue skies. As you can see in this photo the Columbia Icefield Parkway was adorned with all the beautiful colors of Fall.
Hola a todos! Acabo de regresar de mi lugar favorito en el mundo!

Many, many thanks to all my Flickr Friends for welcoming me back!
Ieri, per la prima volta, ho fatto i muffins.

Me tanto soddisfatta!
Sono venuti buonissimi (a detta non solo mia, ma di tutti gli "invitati" al Muffin Party :D)!!!
Quelle formine a cuoricino mi hanno fatto davvero perdere la testa... E cosa c'è di meglio, per una PAUSA TESI, di un "dolcissimo" impiego come questo? :)
p.s.: ho provato il 50mm.
Ora me lo sogno tutte le notti.

Photo Lino Cannizzaro. Tratto dall'antologia "Poeti del Québec" Ed. Fili d'Aquilone, 2011.
Questo fiore detto “Rosa americana”si trova nel giardino della Trattoria del Giallo a Bavari (Genova). Fu il nonno degli attuali proprietari a seminarla, nel 1911.
Il linguaggio degli alberi.
Accade di camminare per le strade di città o nei sentieri di campagna e di montagna e fare incontri silenziosi difficili da dimenticare. Sono gli incontri con gli alberi che, nel grande libro della natura hanno un ruolo di primo piano. Gli alberi, infatti, pulsano nel segreto delle nostre vite, a patto che sappiamo osservarli, ascoltarli nel loro misterioso “essere”. Allora varrebbe la pena conoscerli per nome, analizzarne le metamorfosi, individuarne la simbologia, toccarli, annusarli (ognuno, come gli umani ha il proprio odore), perché sono portatori di saggezza, per evitare sfocature mentali oppure come semplice esperienza.
Un grande scrittore e pittore come Carlo Levi fece dei veri e propri “ritratti” degli alberi che lo circondavano nella sua villa di Alassio, in particolare ulivi e carrubi. Per Levi, gli alberi erano non solo esteticamente belli da rappresentare ma divennero col tempo i protagonisti della sua opera, in quanto li percepiva come esseri immersi nella palpitazione del mondo.
Allora fece nascere il carrubo-donna, il carrubo-mostro, il carrubo-inferno-paradiso e via alberando…
Così parla l’autore de Il Cristo si è fermato a Eboli: «Ritorno a questi tronchi contorti, rovesciati dal vento, pieni di antiche ferite, con la pelle grigia dei mostri arcaici, dove vivono funghi e insetti, erbe e licheni e gli uccelli nei nidi, e gli squarci del legno rossi di sangue vegetale simulano altre forme costellate di occhi». Gli artisti, i poeti, ci hanno sempre insegnato a vedere le cose, anche le più umili, le quali senza di loro passerebbero inosservate. Questo è il caso del poeta ligure Camillo Sbarbaro che diventò uno dei maggiori conoscitori di licheni di tutti i tempi.
C’è dunque un guardare che va oltre il semplice atto di guardare? C’è un modo di penetrare nelle cose o nelle forme che ci circondano con occhi nuovi, lavati, trasparenti? Se riuscissimo nell’esercizio di flânerie, in quel camminare come sorta di ozio creativo, che ha poco a che fare con la semplice camminata ecologica, ci ritroveremmo a compiere un’esperienza poetica che potrebbe rivelarsi come una sorta di re-invenzione dello sguardo e del reale.
Questo album antologico sarà continuamente aggiornato poiché il flâneur (Lino Cannizzaro) e la flâneuse (la scrivente) scoprono quasi ogni giorno (giorni di pioggia compresi) sentieri scoscesi, boscaglie, parchi, mulattiere con dinastie d’alberi e arbusti saggi e folli, simpatici e scontrosi. Senza contare le sorprese delle piante sottocasa. Perché strano a dirsi, spesso, taluni fiori o piante, bocche roventi d’amore “naturaliter” esistono incolumi, in giardinetti improbabili, laddove ringhiano bussolotti di spazzatura e carte unte di focaccia. Talaltri si fanno erba voglio contentandosi di cedere all’ora estiva, amoreggiando celati alla vista del curioso. La parola dei poeti si è unita alla fotografia (molti riconosceranno poeti già ospiti del Festival) e si fa udire, ben oltre la funzione emotiva, aperta a tutti i transiti vitali.

Automne
Avec dans sa valise, de belles couleurs
L’automne s’installe avec douceur
C’est la période ou tout change
Sous le regard des Anges
J’Aime beaucoup cette saison
Où je quitte ma maison
Pour parcourir la nature
Et découvrir ces couleurs si matures
C’est aussi les grillades de châtaignes
Qui font disparaître nos migraines
Le cidre très doux
Si pétillant qui peut rendre jaloux
Ne soyons pas monotone
Parce qu’ arrive l’ Automne …….
Domi
Fall
With his suitcase, beautiful colors
Autumn settles gently
This is the period or changes
Under the gaze of angels
I love this season
As I leave my house
To browse the nature
And find these colors if mature
It also grilled chestnuts
That remove our headaches
Very sweet cider
If sparkling that can be jealous ...

- Secondo gli studiosi la ruota fu inventata nell'antica Mesopotamia (dai Sumeri) nel V millennio a.C. per la lavorazione di vasellame.
- Il cavallo (Equus caballus Linneo 1758), è un mammifero ungulato di grossa taglia. Appartiene al genere Equus, unico della famiglia Equidae. Di antica domesticazione da una sottospecie estinta delle steppe asiatiche, il Tarpan, viene utilizzato come animale da sella, da tiro, da soma e da carne. È in grado di rinselvatichirsi e di sopravvivere autonomamente allo stato brado.
- La paternità dell'aliante è da molti data a Leonardo Da Vinci, seguendo il volo degli uccelli e avendo l'aliante una struttura ben simile alle ossa di un uccello, ben 400 anni prima dei fratelli Wright, anche se non è mai stata provata da Leonardo. Solo ultimamente un gruppo di ingegneri usando materiali e i disegni dell'epoca sono riusciti a far plana
- Il termine luce (dal latino lux) si riferisce alla porzione dello spettro elettromagnetico visibile dall'occhio umano, ed è approssimativamente compresa tra 400 e 700 nanometri di lunghezza d'onda, ovvero tra 750 e 430 THz di frequenza. Questo intervallo coincide con il centro della regione spettrale della luce emessa dal sole che riesce ad arrivare al suolo attraverso l'atmosfera. I limiti dello spettro visibile all'occhio umano non sono uguali per tutte le persone, ma variano soggettivamente e possono raggiungere i 730 nanometri, avvicinandosi agli infrarossi, e i 380 nanometri avvicinandosi agli ultravioletti. La presenza contemporanea di tutte le lunghezze d'onda visibili, in quantità proporzionali a quelle della luce solare, forma la luce bianca.

Instantanea tomada junto al puente "neuf" sobre el rio "Agoût" que refleja en sus
aguas los colores de las viviendas colgantes, que dan un toque magistral a esta
encantadora ciudad francesa.
Para captar todo el ancho del rio, y la gran profundidad de campo hacia el puente
viejo, utilizé una lente ultra gran angular, "Sigma 10 ÷ 20 mm EX DC"
El mejor momento para "inmortalizar" este bellisimo paraje, es durante las puestas
de sol, donde las ultimas luces hacen proyectar el cielo, las nubes y los colores de
las casas en las placidas aguas del Agoût, brindando un momento fotografico unico.

Spending one morning at Passo Rolle during sunrise, I went around looking for new compositions. I did quite some experiments, but a picture that I like a lot is this one.
In the background, you can see the high plateau Pale die San Martino, between 2.500 and 2.700 meters (around 1.6 miles), where we spent a four day hike. A very rough, moonlike landscape. The two peaks you can see are La Rosetta and Pala di San Martino, and both in very nice morning picture (about 20 minutes after sunrise)
What caught my eye was, of course, how the flowers mirror the shape of La Rosetta. So, I only had to bring it together in a direct relation, compositionally wise, and then I tried different depth of fields with my Sigma 70-200 (at 200 mm) that would hint at the mountains without blurring them too much, but at the same time keeping the obvious focus on the foreground.

Zumaia (Spanish: Zumaya) is a small town in the north of Spain in the Basque Country.
The town has two beaches (Itzurun and Santiago), which are of interest to geologists because they are situated among the longest set of continuous rock strata in the world. Known locally as the "flysch" they date from the mid-cretaceous period to the present, a time period of over 100 million years. The K-T boundary is present at the Itzurun beach, and fossils can be found, notably of ammonites. The strata stretches along a distance of about 8 km, between the towns/beaches of Deba and Getaria, with Zumaia lying in the middle. en.Wikipedia
My photos, see also in my comment, were taken at the beach of Itzurun ... I was impressed by the rock formations and sunset atmosphere.

Zumaia (baskisch, spanisch Zumaya) ist eine Stadt in der Provinz Gipuzkoa (spanisch Guipúzcoa) im Norden der iberischen Halbinsel in der spanischen Region Baskenland. Sie liegt ca. 25 km westlich der Stadt San Sebastian. Geologisch interessant ist Zumaia vor allem wegen des an der Küste gut sichtbaren Flyschs. Flysch (eine schweizerische Bezeichnung für Felsmaterial, das zu Bergrutschen und Hangrutschungen neigt) bezeichnet in der Geologie eine in ihrer Gesteinszusammensetzung abwechslungsreiche Wechselfolge von oft kalkhaltigen Sandsteinen und Tonsteinen, die intensiv verformt sein kann. Wikipedia
Zumaia hat zwei Strände (Itzurun and Santiago) ... meine Aufnahmen habe ich am Strand von Itzurun gemacht. Die Felsformationen waren sehr eindrucksvoll.

En el siglo XIII Alfonso X, a través de la Carta Puebla, reconoce a Gozón como comunidad debido a su enorme importancia en industria pesquera de la caza de ballenas y los astilleros.
En el siglo XVII y XVIII, la industria ballenera fue a menos y la población derivo su economía hacia la industria conservera y de salazones. Esta nueva industria provoca que el puerto de Gozón pase a ser uno de los más importantes de la costa cantábrica.
En el siglo XX aparece el turismo y se descubre este paraíso.
Al otro lado de la bahia está la Ermita del Carmen,se encuentra en una pequeña isla que lleva su nombre y durante la marea baja se puede acceder por el pedrero desde la playa del Dique. Todos los años se celebra una misa el día 16 de Julio en la festividad del N. Sra. del Carmen.

Please take your time... and enjoy it large on black
Situated 1834m above sea level in one of the most strikingly beautiful locations in Germany, the Kehlsteinhaus, also known to many as the Eagle's Nest, is a building steeped in history. Build as a fiftieth birthday present for National Socialist leader Adolf Hitler, the Teehaus perched at the summit of the Kehlstein mountain in the Bavarian Alps. It is situated on a ridge at the top of the Kehlstein mountain. The last 124 m up to the Kehlsteinhaus are reached by an elevator bored straight down through the mountain and linked via a tunnel through the granite below that is 124 meters long. The inside of the large elevator car is surfaced with polished brass, Venetian mirrors and green leather. The elevator is still used daily. Construction of the mountain elevator system cost the lives of 12 construction workers. The main reception room is dominated by a fireplace of red Italian marble, presented by Mussolini. This is also often called Hitler's Tea House but that is a misnomer. Although Reichsleiter Martin Bormann was inspired to build the Kehlsteinhaus by Hitler's obvious fancy for the Teehaus on the Mooslahnerkopf, Hitler did not use the Kehlsteinhaus as an afternoon tea house, nor did he visit it regularly. Hitler used the Kehlsteinhaus only to show off to visiting dignitaries, and he probably did not visit it himself more than twenty times, as he did not like the height and the perceived dangers of lightning and the elevator. Bormann himself and Eva Braun did far more entertaining in the Kehlsteinhaus than did Hitler. Although the Kehlsteinhaus was a designated target for the April 1945 Royal Air Force bombing attack. The Allies thought there might be underground military facilities there, part of the mythical Alpine Redoubt, it was not hit. Apparently it was too small a target, and too difficult to pick out of the surrounding area from above. Due to its being having been commissioned by the Nazi leadership, it will never be possible to separate the Kehlsteinhaus from its bitter historical legacy. However, with more than fifty years having passed since the end of the war and with new friendships having been made. Nowadays it has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in southern Germany.
Photo of the Kehlsteinhaus taken from the Jenner mountain. Father and son are on a hike to the top of the mountain. The helicopter was landing on top of the mountain. A few seconds later a paraglider was jumping down. A quiet expensive taxi ride for this paraglider. But I'm sure the view most be magnificient from up there.
Kehlsteinhaus, ook wel genoemd Adelaarsnest, is gebouwd op de top van de Kehlstein, nabij de Obersalzberg bij Berchtesgaden in Zuid-Duitsland. Het werd ontworpen en gebouwd onder regie van Martin Bormann en werd Hitler op zijn vijftigste verjaardag Kehlsteinhaus in 1939 cadeau gedaan door de NSDAP. Martin Bormann organiseerde de bouw van een theehuis, het Kehlsteinhaus, op de top van de Kehlstein, op 1834 meter hoogte. In feite was het project door de steile hellingen een waanzinnige onderneming. De nazi's waren er echter voortdurend op uit het Duitse volk te verbazen met hun daden en dus werd ook hier besloten das Unmögliche zu machen. Kosten noch moeite werden gespaard om het project zo snel mogelijk te realiseren. Een kleine 4000 arbeiders werkten dag en nacht aan de toevoerweg. Voor het laatste gedeelte werd een tunnel en een lift te bouwen. Voor deze lift werd een schacht met een hoogte van 124 meter in de berg uitgehouwen. De lift zelf werd voorzien van alle comfort: ventilatie, gestoffeerde banken en spiegels. Dit laatste werd gedaan vanwege de claustrofobie van de Führer. De lift wordt tot op heden gebruikt door vele toeristen, die het Kehlsteinhaus en het panorama komen bekijken. Hitler zelf bezocht het huis slechts incidenteel, ondanks de nabijheid van zijn zomerhuis het Berghof. Niet alleen omdat hij leed aan hoogtevrees en claustrofobie, maar ook omdat slecht tegen de ijle lucht op grote hoogte kon. Bovendien was hij bang voor aanslagen tijdens de reis met de lift. Wel verbleven zijn maîtresse Eva Braun en haar zuster Gretl met vriendinnen hier regelmatig. Het huis bleef gespaard tijdens het geallieerde bombardement in april 1945. Na de oorlog hadden de Amerikanen, die het beheer van de Obersalzberg hadden overgenomen, plannen ook het Kehlsteinhaus te verwoesten. Op aandringen van de regering in Beieren bleef het huis gespaard en werd het uiteindelijk overgedragen aan de deelstaat Beieren, onder voorwaarde dat alles wat aan het naziverleden was gerelateerd zou worden uitgewist. Tegenwoordig fungeert het Kehlsteinhaus als toeristische attractie.

En esta ocasión queria dedicarle a mi amiga Gema, ha sido mama recientemente de una niña llamada Leire. Os invito a todos a pasar por su galeria, ver sus fotos y darle la enhorabuena.
Foto tomada en Albarración, hoz del río Gudalaviar.
Albarracín posee un casco histórico medieval de gran belleza, fruto de su dilatada historia y de su importancia como villa fronteriza, pero además toda la población, hoy en día, aún conserva la doble muralla que lo protegía, así como el Castillo y los torreones del Andador y de doña Blanca.
Antes de poseer estas murallas, tuvo un castillo a cuyos pies comenzó a crecer la localidad, lo que llevó a construir las murallas a partir del siglo X, ampliándose en la centuria posterior. De hecho, éstas son las que se pueden observar, si bien parcialmente rehechas en épocas posteriores.
La razón para que estas murallas se hayan conservado tan bien a lo largo de la historia, se debe a que tras la reconquista cristiana, la ciudad pasó a formar parte del Reino de Aragón, y posteriormente en el siglo XIV a la Corona de Aragón, convirtiéndose así en zona fronteriza con Castilla, lo que obligaba a mantener el amurallamiento en buenas condiciones.
En realidad, el sistema defensivo de Albarracín, lo componían tres fortalezas: el castillo Principal, el del Andador y el Torreón de Doña Blanca, a los que se sumaban dos recintos cerrados por las murallas. El recinto amurallado de menor tamaño se correspondería con el poblamiento musulmán, mientras que el segundo recinto amurallado es posterior, incluyendo en su interior parte del monte de la localidad.
English:
This time I would like to dedicate this picture to my friend Gema, that has been a breast recently. Your daughter Leire and she. I recommend to you to visit her gallery and to greet her.
Albarracín possesses a historical medieval hull of great beauty, fruit of your extensive history and of your importance as frontier villa, but in addition the whole population, nowadays, still preserves the double wall that was protecting it, as well as the Castle and the towers of the Walker and of dona Blanca.
Before possessing these walls, it had a castle to whose feet the locality began to grow, which led to constructing the walls from the 10th century, being extended in the later century. In fact, these are those who can be observed, though partially re-done in later epochs.
The reason in order that these walls have remained so well along the history, owes to that after the Christian reconquest, the city happened to form a part of the Kingdom of Aragon, and later in the 14th century to the Wreath of Aragon, turning this way into frontier zone with Castile, which the amurallamiento was forcing to support in good conditions.
Actually, Albarracín's defensive system, three fortresses were composing it: the Principal castle, that of the Walker and Dona Blanca's Tower, to that two enclosures closed by the walls were adding. The enclosure walled of minor size would correspond with the Moslem poblamiento, whereas the second walled enclosure is later, including in your interior report of the mount of the locality.
Check it out on black or at 1280 x 850 pixel if you like architecture, lots of glass, concrete and artificial light. :)
About this shot
Scoop nr 1 This is 'The Scoop' next to the modern London City Hall, a great place for photography - If they would let ya. I can't complain though.
Scoop nr 2 Always keep an eye on your shadow when you're out and about, or else you might be ruining your own shots. *cough* Yep! :-)
Scoop nr 3 Don't be afraid to go out on a walk with another photographer thinking "you might end up getting the same shots!" This is not a problem at all. Evidence: This is Scott's shot of me taking the shot above. And this one. Y'see? It's another world, so no problem at all, unless you keep shooting over each others shoulders all the time of course. But then, there's always post-processing. ;-)
Have a nice day!

Haha, this one just makes me smile... I don't think his tongue could be any longer :) We were in the middle of a long walk Barney, Dilly and I went on a few days before I left for France. I only meant to have a short walk, on one of the smaller hills in the background of this pic but wonderful weather meant I was reluctant to go home. We ended up staying out hours longer than I'd planned, eventually walking (or in Barney's case, loping) up to the highest point of the Malverns (not that high - around 1,300ft). I love walking on the hills of course, but even seeing them from a distance makes me happy... They're the first thing I look for when coming home: from miles away you can spot them rising in an orderly line out of the flood plains of Worcestershire, it's a nice sight when you've been away for awhile :)
Barney was ecstatically happy to see me (the feeling was mutual!) when I arrived this afternoon. He was already bounding down the hall as I turned the key and opened the front door. I had to stand outside for 10 minutes while he just leaped up and down, tripping on my suitcase, crashing into my legs, throwing himself on the floor in a wriggling heap and just as I reached down to pat him, leaping up again, to lick my face! When I finally got inside he pounced on his kong, proudly prancing back to show me, shaking his head ferociously and doing a funny little dance with his front paws. Finally, he led the way back to the garden, tail curled jauntily over his back and a cheeky grin on his face that was an invitation (or perhaps demand is the right term) for play :) I couldn't resist...
It's lovely having such a fantastic welcome home but I'm glad I've got no plans to for a long holiday or visit with relatives soon - I hate saying goodbye to him - especially as he knows what a suitcase is. Whenever I bring the case downstairs, he immediately goes into sulk mode (he has bitter experience with me bringing my case down and then leaving for university for 3 months). Unless I'm gathering his bowls, leads, toys etc he will go very quiet and subdued. I call him and he won't come, he just stares at the suitcase, then at me and stays where he is, head on his paws. It is a truly pitiful sight and one that breaks my heart (even though I know, after a day of sulking he's back to his happy self!!) Yes, I had a lovely time but I'm glad to be back and I think Barney's pretty pleased too :)

Seyðisfjörður (Seydisfiordur) is a village in the Eastfjords of Iceland at the end of the fjord of the same name. A road over Fjarðarheiði mountain pass connects Seyðisfjörður to the rest of Iceland; 27 km to the ring road and Egilsstaðir. Seyðisfjörður is surrounded by mountains on all sides with most prominent Mt. Bjólfur to the West (1085m) and Strandartindur (1010m) to the East. The fjord itself is accessible on each side from the town, by following the main road that leads through the town.
The pass is amazing, like an alpine valley just growing from the sea level. You can't believe your eyes, which tell you that you are in a high mountain environment, since your brain knows you are so close to the Ocean.
The clouds were passing away very fast, the light was changing every minute, the meltwater level of this small lake was rising.
Why not shooting a long exposition and capture that natural mirror?
This valley is just awesome.

Seyðisfjörður (Seydisfiordur) es un pueblo en el Este de Islandia, que se encuentra al final del fiordo que lleva el mismo nombre. La carretera de montaña que cruza el paso de Fjarðarheiði conecta Seyðisfjörður con el resto de Islandia, 27 km (un mundo) hasta Egilsstaðir, que es el núcleo de población más cercano. Seyðisfjörður se encuentra rodeada de altas montañas por todos lados, por lo que el acceso al valle es sólo por un punto o a través del mar. Los picos más altos son Bjólfur en el Oeste (1085m) y Strandartindur (1010m) hacia el Este.
El paso de Fjarðarheiði es increíble, es como un valle alpino emergiendo desde el nivel del mar. Cuando estas allí, no puedes creer a tus ojos, que te dicen que estás en un paisaje de alta montaña de 3000m, mientras que tu cerebro sabe que estás muy cerca del Océano.
Las nubes desaparecían muy rápido, la luz cambiaba a cada minuto, el nivel de agua del deshielo de este pequeño lago glaciar crecía contínuamente.
¿Por qué no usar una larga exposición y capturar ese espejo natural?
Este valle es impresionante.

Nome comune: Ibisco.
Genere: Hibiscus.
Famiglia: Malvaceae.
Etimologia: deriva dal nome greco, ebisckos e ibiskus, usato già da Dioscoride per indicare una specie di malva.
Provenienza: Stati Uniti del sud, America Meridionale, Africa, Cina, Giappone, India, Siria, Italia e regioni mediterranee.
Descrizione genere: comprende circa 250-300 specie di arbusti, piccoli alberi o piante erbacee, perenni o annuali, rustici o delicati, sempreverdi o a foglie decidue. In tutte le specie i fiori, che compaiono di solito all’ascella delle foglie (ma anche all’apice dei rami), sono imbutiformi, semplici, semidoppi, doppi o stradoppi e, comunque, molto appariscenti. Il calice è formato da cinque sepali, disposti ad avvolgere la base del fiore. La corolla è formata da cinque petali (nei fiori semplici) uguali, svasati all’estremitaà o piani, ben distanziati tra loro o leggermente sovrapposti l’uno all’altro. Dal centro del fiore fuoriesce la colonna staminale, sulla quale sono disposti gli stami e che può essere più lunga o più corta della corolla, ma che in ogni caso porta sul suo prolungamento lo stilo, terminante con cinque pistilli. I fiori sono inodori, ad eccezione di quelli delle specie H. arnottianus e H. waimae, dotati di un lieve profumo. Le varietà e gli ibridi oggi in commercio sono stati ottenuti da poche specie orticole e sono suddivisibili in due grandi gruppi: gli ibischi tropicali (derivati da H. rosa-sinensis) e gli ibischi rustici (derivati da H. syriacus o Rosa di Sharon).
Here is a shot of the Eiffel Tower from the fountains in front of Place du Trocadero - Paris, France. For those of you that have visited Paris pre-2000, the Eiffel Tower played host to Paris' Millennium Celebration. On this occasion, flashing lights and four high-power searchlights were installed on the tower. Since then, the light show has become a nightly event. The searchlights on top of the tower make it a beacon in Paris' night sky, and the 20,000 flash bulbs give the tower a sparkly appearance every hour on the hour.

"All you need is faith and trust... and a little bit of pixie dust!"
That quote perfectly describes my feelings about my first workshop yesterday. I was beyond excited to meet my group and see what everyone had to offer, and I was nervous too...that I would suddenly forget how to create an image! So I thought it only appropriate to do a Peter Pan picture :-)
It was an absolutely wonderful day from start to finish. I think that we all learned something, and we definitely all had a laugh at some of my odd techniques both in shooting and editing!! :-P I am bursting with excitement for the next one now!
