Pura Batu Bolong -Tanah Lot, Bali, Indonesia
Pura Batu Bolong is a small shrine located just a stone's throw from the famous Tanah Lot temple. It is perched at the end of a rocky promontory that leaps seaward into the surging Indian Ocean. Visitors to Pura Batu Bolong tends to lump it with Tanah Lot, hence its name is not as familiar.

Sevilla es una de las ciudades más importantes en la historia de España desde la Edad Antigua en que surgió un primer núcleo identificado con la cultura tartésica y que, tras su destrucción atribuida a los cartagineses, dio paso a la ciudad romana de Hispalis, junto a la que se construyó la colonia de Itálica. Durante el reino visigodo alojó en algunas ocasiones la corte. En Al-Ándalus, tras la invasión musulmana, fue primero sede de una cora y después capital de un reino de taifas. En el año 844 fue saqueada por los vikingos remontando el río Guadalquivir decidiendo el emir de Córdoba fortalecer su sistema defensivo.
Tras el descubrimiento de América en 1492, Sevilla se convirtió en el centro económico del Imperio español. Los Reyes Católicos fundaron la Casa de Contratación, desde donde se dirigían y contrataban los viajes, controlaban las riquezas que entraban de América y, junto con la Universidad de Mercaderes, regulaban las relaciones con el Nuevo Mundo.
Durante el siglo XVI Sevilla experimentó un gran desarrollo y se construyeron algunos de los edificios más importantes del centro histórico. La ciudad llegó a ser un centro multicultural lo que ayudaría al florecimiento de las artes, jugando un papel importante en el Siglo de Oro español. Destacaron entonces las fábricas de jabón del barrio de Triana, la artesanía de la seda y la cerámica sevillana.
Coincidiendo con su momento artístico más brillante, el Barroco, se vio afectada por la crisis del siglo XVII, lo que significó una decadencia económica y demográfica, al tiempo que la navegación por el Guadalquivir se dificultaba cada vez más, hasta que el monopolio comercial y sus instituciones se trasladaron a Cádiz.
La revitalización de la ciudad en el siglo XIX, con la industrialización y el desarrollo de la red ferroviaria española, coincidió con la época romántica.
Durante el siglo XX, además de sufrir la represión de la Guerra Civil y la posterior dictadura militar, presenció hitos decisivos como la Exposición Iberoamericana de 1929, la Exposición Universal de 1992 o su elección como capital de la autonomía andaluza.
This is a beautiful place to watch the sunrise, it comes up behind you looking at Death Valley. We got up early two mornings and went there. Fortunately it's only a 5-10 minute drive from where we were staying at the Furnace Creek Ranch. It's very popular, though, I talked with a photographer from Chicago on my left and one from Toronto on my right.
Take a seashell , take a bit of happiness …. beach with the view of Alaska , on the horizon - couple with the dog … sound of the waves , light breeze and bucket full of colors … this is my beach . Quiet , no smell of sunscreen , cheap food and beer … no vendors with trinkets made half a world away … this is my beach.
Where I grew up ( south-western Poland ) it was far away from the sea and I only seen Baltic few times. After Greece and now half of my life in Vancouver , I can't imagine living away from the see. Ocean has something , it could be that defiant line of different dimension that is not easy to cross .
See where this picture was taken, west of Masset , Queen Charlotte Islands / Haida Gwaii , BC , Canada [?]
Another from our recent trip to Embo, in the North East Highlands of Scotland. With the highlands, being the highlands, we got all 4 seasons in one week... you've seen one of the calm days... here's one where the sky was a wee bit more angry.
No sunsets over the water on the east coast, so had to find a rock out in the sea to precariously balance tripod and my not insignificant frame, to shot back across the beach towards the sun. This was after the sun had dipped below the horizon. Invested in a pair of wellies after getting a royal soaking on this one :-)
.
A little more than a year ago I was upload a single tree on a field. I used the same tones like here to compensate the poor light and overcast sky. I also used a 16:7 format the first time.
Even though the field is a completely different one, there are parallels to that one shot. I was driving to my grandmother's when I passed this hill and those cars on top of them. I don't know what they were up to, cause I couldn't see the other side of the hill. Was it just like a sunday morning hill party or an occult?

The concept of "foreground interest" doesn't really seem to be my thing. But, trying here to see if a very uneventful sky can be balanced by at least some kind of "event" going on in the foreground :-)

Sunset outing with Jeffie www.flickr.com/photos/jeffiebrown/ and also accompany by a lots of mosquitoes (lols) yesterday (its past 12am in my place now) at Tanjung Aru Beach, Kota Kinabalu Sabah.
Spiral staircase leading to the 'Café Glockenspiel' in Munich.
I took several shots of this staircase from different angles, but this one is my favorite, because of the bit of wall which is still visible on the right side (looked strange when i cut it off a few shots earlier) and because of the intersecting railings.
Technique/Processing
I took 2 shots, 2EV apart from each other. The first one already had dialed in an exposure correction of +1EV, because i wanted to retain the bright walls. The upper part of the staircase had to be replaced (manual blending) with the one from the -2EV exposure, because it was completely white.
I did NOT use a tripod, but hand held it again, having to use ISO 7200 (!!!) to get the bright look. I was really excited, that the lavender wall color came out so nicely at this high ISO setting
Sunset over the Hradčany in Prague.
Info
Prague Castle (Czech: Pražský hrad) is a castle in Prague where the Kings of Bohemia, Holy Roman Emperors and presidents of Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic have had their offices. The Bohemian Crown Jewels are kept here. Prague Castle is one of the biggest castles in the world (according to Guinness Book of Records the biggest ancient castle) at about 570 meters in length and an average of about 130 meters wide.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prague_Castle
Technique/Processing
I shot this one, using the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 lens. At first i shot a normal photo, but i realized it didn't look good, because of the troubled waters of the Vltava.
But then i remembered that i miraculously did not forget to pack my B+W ND110 ND filter, so i screwed it onto the lens and by that, could use an exposure of 15 seconds, which created the silky water you can see here. Oh, and i also had to carry my tripod around the whole day, but hey, 2kgs more or less don't matter ;)
Moreover, the cloud moved during those 15 seconds and thus it seems to encircle the sun.
Only one shot, no HDR

My Dear Friends, another quick post just to say that I am still alive, and still doing photography! I am still very busy at work, hence not having much time for flickr.
I did this shot yesterday, on an isolated beach near the place I live.
As for the title, well I feel like something is about to arrive (land?) just in front of me! ;-)

So I skipped school today and stayed home until 3:30pm. I did a bit of homework, caught up a bit on Flickr, saw Beowulf online (friends were talking about it yesterday) and then I went outside to buy some lunch for tomorrow. I'll be taking a midterm for my calculus class which is going to take almost 4 hours so everybody has to bring their own lunch to eat in between the breaks haha. I played basketball for a bit at the park and then I went home to fix my mom's bike. The chain was popping off, so all I did was tighten it by moving the back wheel further back. It's going to be a long test day tomorrow. :(

The last day of Songkran festival is here.
Thailand is wet and ready for a new year.
This man here is working on the Erawan Shrine in Bangkok.
The most important shrine for the thais and you can believe me, tons of flowers, candles and incense sticks are laid down all day by the thai Buddhists, coming to this place to pray for good business and success.
So this man is doing an important job, he grabs all flowers and the other stuff and making space for new ones.
I like the hand of him, I catched in this shot.
HaPPY GoRGeouS GReeN THuRSDaY all of you !!!

On this occasion, the wally was me! Why? For forgetting to take my Lumix off the rock on the bottom right of the image when I was taking it :p I've cloned it out now of course :)
Also cloned out the big buoy between the island and mainland (see previous picture), as well as the dust bunnies I've got, and had to straighten the lighthouse as well as the 10-20mm at 10mm doesn't half have some distortion :)
Oddly enough the colour is the one thing I've not touched in post-pro, I spent far too much time (ok 10 minutes) cloning out the camera, buoy and straightening the lighthouse that I was fedup already by then).

The sun. The nearest star, despite it shines from a mere 150 million kilometers far away.. In order to take this shot, I have climbed upon a dam and waited there until the sun barely touched the bridge, far away no more than 1 km from me, one hundred fifty milion times closer than the sun. More or less...
Il Sole. La stella più vicina, sebbene emani la propria luce da appena 150 milioni di km di distanza. Per fare questa foto, mi sono arrampicato su una chiusa e ho atteso fino a quando il sole fosse quasi tangente al ponte, lontano non più di un km da me, e quindi centocinquanta milioni di volte più vicino del sole... più o meno...
i've placed my position on the map.

One of my favourite walks is through the port, watching the names and origin ports of ships, exotic names for me: Varna, Odessa, Vladivostok, Nassau... It makes me dream of far travels abroad. Today we had this fine collection of vessels in the closest dock to the city. The three-masted ship is a replica of the spanish flagship at Trafalgar, it is permanently anchored in Málaga and used as a floating restaurant.
