The Pyrenees also spelled Pyrenées Spanish: Pirineos; French: Pyrénées; Catalan: Pirineus; Occitan: Pirenèus; Aragonese: Perinés; Basque: Pirinioak are a range of mountains in southwest Europe that form a natural border between France and Spain. They separate the Iberian Peninsula from the rest of continental Europe, and extend for about 430 km. For the most part, the main crest forms a massive divider between France and Spain, with the tiny country of Andorra sandwiched in between. The Col d'Aubisque above is a mountain pass in the Pyrenees 30km south of Tarbes and Pau in the department of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques in the Aquitaine region of France. The Aubisque is one of those hors catégorie cols that make the legend of the Tour de France.
We were high up in the Pyrenees at the top of the Col d'aubisque even higher at 1,750 m. The weather had been cold, cold enough for snow on the top of the mountains. The white mountain tops are reaching here higher than 2600 meters. The highest peak in the Pyrenees is 3,404 meters high.
De Pyreneeën Frans: Pyrénées, Spaans: Pirineos, Catalaans: Pirineus, Baskisch: Pirinioak zijn een gebergte, gelegen op de grens van Spanje en Frankrijk. Het gebergte strekt zich uit over ongeveer 430 kilometer, tussen de Atlantische Oceaan en de Middellandse Zee. De hoogste berg is de Aneto 3404 meter, gelegen in het uiterste noordoosten van het Spaanse Aragón. Het gebergte is ontstaan door de botsing van het Iberisch schiereiland met het Europese continent, gedurende de Alpiene orogenese, vanaf circa 50 miljoen jaar geleden tot heden. De Col d'Aubisque hierboven is een bergpas in de Franse Pyreneeën. De bergpas is vooral bekend van wielrenetappes in bijvoorbeeld de Ronde van Frankrijk.
Was a fantastic sunset a few days back. So good that I jumped away from the desk with my handy point-n-shoot (that I keep in my bag to/from work) and went into one of the unused conference rooms on the West side of the building so that I could get this shot looking over Tokyo station and the Marunouchi business district at dusk.

This is an old photo, I took this one more or less two years ago and was taken with a generic "point and shoot" camera.
Was already on this photo stream, now I "recycled" it improving some changes to the hue and adding frames.
You can see this photo on black in all sizes clicking to "Take me to the future" at the top of the page and then press on the magnifying glass icon!

This was taken from the South Rim of the Grand canyon, we went to the North Rim as well, which I preferred just because of the lack of crowds, nothing to do with the views as you can see. It really is an awe inspiring place, and looking back on these shots I keep thinking wow did I go there ? lol ;) I remember sitting out on a rock ledge to take this, I had my feet dangling over the edge. I am terrified of heights, but for some reason I was not scared doing this. We were very lucky to have gotten beautiful days for our trip.

Facts About Roses (Rose Flowers)
The birthplace of the cultivated Rose was probably Northern Persia (Current IRAN), on the Caspian, or Faristan on the Gulf of Persia.
Historically, the oldest Rose fossils have been found in Colorado, dating back to more than 35 million years ago.
Roses were considered the most sacred flowers in ancient Egypt and were used as offerings for the Goddess Isis. Roses have also been found in Egyptian tombs, where they were formed into funerary wreaths.
Confucius, 551 BC to 479 BC, reported that the Imperial Chinese library had many books on Roses.
Ancient Sumerians of Mesopotamia (in the Tigris-Euphrates River Valley) mentioned Roses in a cuneiform tablet (a system of writing) written in approximately 2860 BC.
The English were already cultivating and hybridizing Roses in the 15th Century when the English War of Roses took place. The winner of the war, Tudor Henry VII, created the Rose of England (Tudor Rose) by crossbreeding other Roses.
While no Black Rose yet exists, there are some of such a deep Red color as to suggest Black.
Roses are omnipresent and grown over all parts of the globe.
The Netherlands is the world's leading exporter of Roses.
The Netherlands, with about 8000 hectares of land under Rose cultivation, is the global leader in Rose cultivation. 54 per cent (about 5000 hectares) of the cultivated land in Ecuador is under Rose cultivation!! Zambia, a small nation, had 80 per cent of its cultivated land under Roses.
Classification of Roses
Broadly, Roses are divided into three classes-

Albany Park in Enfield
Not the biggest or the nicest park in the UK, but this particular morning it showed off beautifully. There was this lovely ground mist hugging the floor, swirling around school boys legs as they walked to school and the sun was rising and beaming through the trees ahead of me. I was so LUCKY to catch this shot.

Ruínas da Fortaleza da Arrifana
Apesar de nos meses de Verão se armar, frente à Praia da Arrifana, uma armação de pesca, só no reinado de Filipe III (1635) aí se mandou levantar um Forte para defesa dos pescadores, da praia e enseada, sendo Governador e Capitão-Mor do Reino do Algarve, D. Gonçalo Coutinho.
Com o passar dos anos, o forte foi-se progressivamente destruindo, sobretudo devido à acção do tempo e das águas do mar nas marés vivas. Reedificado em 1670, foi em 1755 atingido pelo grande terramoto, tendo ficado profundamente danificado.
Autêntico miradouro natural, daqui poderá desfrutar de uma das mais belas panorâmicas da Costa Vicentina.

Got out into the great British Columbian wilderness today, and hiked 4km to the beautiful Mystic Beach on Vancouver Island's westcoast. . Along the way we passed this suspension bridge that was kind of a surprise. It was my first time seeing a suspension bridge this big, and it was really fun to walk across while looking down. =D

On a beautiful morning I shot this image. It's a view on the german city Emmerich, this is minutes after the first rays of the sun hit the land. This was also the first day I had to scratch the ice of my windshield.
“We are friends and I do like to pass the day with you in serious and inconsequential chatter. I wouldn't mind washing up beside you, dusting beside you, reading the back half of the paper while you read the front. We are friends and I would miss you, do miss you and think of you very often.”

It is a great idea to tell the story behind the image
so this is my story
I was driving back home, passing by a small town (Wolsztyn, Poland)where once a year in first weekend of May, the steam train parade takes place. I noticed, that they have some steam locomotives standing as an open air museum and stopped to make some pictures. Then I noticed a steam locomotive warming and slowly going away. After app. 1 km it stopped at a little station. I followed the locomotive and found out, that this steam trains are still serving a small distance line. I liked the mood of a solitude, small train station and old steam train... tried to put it in this photo.....
“...Las tropillas entabladas,
los fletes bien ensillados
es legado que ha heredado
esta Patria que es sagrada.
¡Qué lujo verla rodeada,
uno por uno agarrar,
la madrina cabrestear,
pegadita a la asidera!
¡Qué orgullo pa'mi bandera
que estamos viendo flamear!”

Click here to see this Bamboo Fountain large!
This was shot on a tripod with my Sigma 10-20mm ultra wide angle lens attached to my Canon EOS Rebel T1i. Three exposures (-2..0..+2 EV) was processed in Photomatix. Tone mapped and detail enhanced. In Photoshop, increased overall saturation, curve adjustment, and unsharp mask.
The Kakehi (Bamboo Fountain) is a waterspout consisting of a vertical bamboo pipe in which the internal part of each node (joint) has been bored out to accept a plastic hosepipe. At the head of the vertical bamboo pipe a "Komagshira" or scorched timber joint drilled out to accept the vertical and horizontal bamboo pipes, the komagashira timber top section is either square in section or round. The" Kakehi " has a number of uses, used to feed water into a stone water basin (Chozubachi) or to trickle water into the end of a Deer Scarer (Shishi-Odoshi). The Shishi Odoshi was originally used by Japanese farmers to scare off deer and boar from their rice crops, and later it has become part of the Japanese garden

In preparation of a free buffet lunch I thought I'd get a little exercise cycling on my wife's battery powered mamachari (bike with large baskets) and came across this unexpected wonderful sunset.
This was taken using my wide angle lense and cropped at the bottom to remove the beach from the shot.
Slightly processed to give a nice cinematic film feel.

There is nothing better than trying to compose a photo while walking on slippery rock layers set at a 45 degree angle while unpredictable seas lash out at you! But the light was so good for about 3 minutes.... No HDR.

The rock layers which record the geologic history of Montana De Oro State Park just south of Big Sur (3 hour drive south of San Francisco and 3 hours north from LA), can be read like books in an ancient library. This is one of my two favorite spots for photography that I've seen along the entire California coast.
The problem is that each accessable spot needs to be researched before you can tell if it is good for a photo. And the tide level determines whether it is good. So you have to commit to a spot that may take you 20 minutes to extricate yourself from, should you decide that it is no good. And then you miss the good light that may fall somewhere else. So even with planning, getting a good shot here is definitely hit or miss even with perfect light in the sky. Also, this place is on the way to nowhere, so you have to make it your intention to spend the day here and stay overnight nearby.
But it is SO worth it. It would take months of living nearby during the stormiest part of winter before I would feel I had captured the spirit of this place.
The map shows EXACTLY where this is.

I was looking forward to October the 2nd (the Birth of a great leader Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi) to dedicate this picture but unfortunately work and personal life did take most of my time . So I woke up earlier than normal time and finished it just this morning. I figured, there's no time limit to dedicate something to a great man like him, right?
I'll see you all very soon in a image near you ;-)
