Thanks everyone for your visit, comments, critiques, fave,invite..etc. I really appreciate it.
Cerastes are small snakes, averaging less than 50 cm in length, but are relatively stout in appearance. The head is broad, flat and distinct from the neck. The head is covered with tubercularly keeled scales, which usually number 15 or more across, and a supraorbital horn may be present over each eye in some species. The snout is short and wide and the eyes, which are set well forward, are small to moderate in size. The body is short, stout and cylindrically depressed. The tail is short and tapers abruptly behind the vent.
From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerastes_(genus)
This snake is called in Libya the snakes of horns and it's very venom according to our guide because it's bites him before :).
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).

Sometimes we only live for the here and now. Sometimes we're lonely. Sometimes we feel we need a place to be grounded or fly away again.
I feel rain pouring down. I wait to rot away. Live again, here forever. The spiral never ends. Run away, live again, here forever, the spiral never ends.

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.

This is one of the old buildings little m and I saw on our road trip to eastern WA this past weekend. Did some blurring of the clouds to make this amazing structure stand out. Had some help from expert editor vinny , thanks Vinny! Out of all the old structures we saw, I have to say this was in my top two for interest. I will be photographing some spring flowers soon for all you color lovers out there. Will be stopping by your streams tomorrow. And as always thanks for your visit :) Don't forget to play a trick on someone you love today!

Some weeks ago, I made a weekend trip to Las Vegas. Felt a bit like in the movie "21" while flying from Boston to Las Vegas for the week end ;-)
I do not need to tell anyone that this is an unbelievable place. Especially for photographers it is great, because everywhere are lights in different shades and colors. The buildings are made to impress and they do. In the next time, I will post continuously some of my best shots and there are still a lot, which are waiting for post-production.
One of my favorite casinos is New York, New York. I think it is awesome to rebuild a city in city.

Mexico City International Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional de la Ciudad de México or AICM), also called Benito Juárez International Airport (IATA: MEX, ICAO: MMMX) is a commercial airport that serves Mexico City, the capital of Mexico. It is Mexico's and Latin America's busiest.
This hot and high airport offers direct flights to more than 100 destinations worldwide. In 2009, the airport served 24,243,056 passengers, a decrease of 7.5% compared with 2008, who received 26,210,217. This modest decline was mainly due to the global financial crisis and the outbreak of influenza. In optimal conditions, and with the current renovations and expansion projects completed, the Benito Juárez airport will be able to handle up to 32 million passengers per year.[3]. It provides non-stop services from Mexico City to North America, Central America and Caribbean, South America, Europe and Asia.

last summer this was one of my best session. It's a one hour motorbike ride to the top of the pass "Furkajoch". To drive be motorbike has beside the driving fun also the advantege to park the vehicle everywhere you want. Especially with the narrow mountain roads you could spare your nerve. My motivation here was to capture the sunrise. So I had to start early in the darkness. But I was some minutes to late the sun was rising, you could see it in the lower picture. Clouds gaves me the advantage to enjoy a further sunrise.
At this location I was fascinated on the round hill in foreground. To have such an element in the near is interesting for composition exercises. Because when you move some steps to the side, the view will change totally. This gives you the advantage to arrange the scene in a quick way.
Could you see the hiding Easter Bunny?

Just a little colorless sunrise....
A spot I had been eyeballing, but waited for a bit of low level fog to cover up the shores of the East Bay. I wanted minimal, with no distant distractions. Today.... It worked out.
As always.... I appreciate you all stopping by. Thank you.

“Why are we so full of restraint? Why do we not give in all directions? Is it fear of losing ourselves? Until we do lose ourselves there is no hope of finding ourselves.” Henry Miller
On the same note, I went all out of restraint. I had my first ever overnight (on purpose) at the airport. Just chilling out and studying from 11pm all the way to 6 in the morn. The airport has been such a dear haunt since young. I aspire to work there one day, it's just a quintessential place to be- an intersection of all walks of life. It helps that its just 17 minutes away from my house :)

Please take your time... and enjoy it large on black
Welcome to Dong Hua Sao National park. Located on the Bolaven Plateau, which was formed by an ancient volcano in Southern Laos, one of the most scenic spots in the region. Our resort overlooks the Tad Fane waterfalls, thundering down in a 200 meter deep gorge. The light and color in the surrounding foliage brings the image to life. The falls themselves drop far below where the eye can see, due to the vegetation so you may want to hazard the steep cliff-side trail which ultimately leads down to the base of the falls. If you wear stout shoes and are prepared to hold onto tree branches you'll be fine and can have a dip in the plunge pool at the base of the falls. Staying at the resort means you'll have plenty of time for this worthwhile side-venture. Beyond the waterfalls stretches the extensive jungle of Dong Hua Sao, one of the 18 National Biodiversity Conservation Areas in the country. Open since 2000, Tad Fane is one of Laos pioneering nature resorts at the edge of the 1100-sq-km Dong Hua Sao NPA where the trekking trails are the best and perhaps the only way to get into the park. Dong Hau Sao is home to a healthy population of tigers, though you are more likely to see monkey, gigantic butterflies and in the wet season, dozens of great horn-bills who like to hang out at the bottom of the falls. Thanks to its location on an elevation of 1100 meters and surrounded by clouds forests, temperatures are much lower than elsewhere in Laos. A cloud forest, is a tropical evergreen highland moist forest characterized by a high incidence of low-level cloud cover, usually at the canopy level. Within cloud forests, much of the condensation is in the form of fog drip, where fog condenses on tree leaves and then drips onto the ground below. Even in the hottest period of the year, March and April, temperatures in the daytime usually do not reach over 27 Celsius, while at night it cools down considerably. Starting July, when rain starts to fall more regularly, temperatures drop and a sweater in addition to a rain coat is recommended. Do definitely pack warm clothes when staying with us between November and February.
Photo of several waterfalls of Dong Hua Sao National park near Paksong - Southern Laos - taken during our trekking. A beautiful view on the edge of a hill overlooking the mist-covered jungle mountainside waterfalls. The real beauty of cloud forest. An endless flow of water is created and if windy, the mist sprays over the remote mountains into the rainforest and created this misty and beautiful atmosphere. Tropical cloud forests are a rare type of evergreen mountain forest found in tropical areas where local climatic conditions cause cloud and mist to be regularly in contact with the forest vegetation. These forests support ecosystems of distinctive floristic and structural form and contain a large number of the world’s endemic and threatened species.The endless cool breeze helps capture a full taste of nature. The highest point, Phou Tabeng, is 1,280 m. The area has about 300 bird species inclusive the Great Egret shown above. Within the park clouded leopard, tiger and a small population of wild Asian elephants can be seen. It is a ideal spot for tourists to relax and enjoy nature.
Welkom bij de Dong Hua Sao National park. Naast Tad fane, een waterval die in een 200m diepe kloof valt, zijn er nog veel meer watervallen in het park te zien vooral in de regentijd. De krachtige watervallen geven een regen van nevel af. Er sluierde een mysterieuze nevel door de regenwoud tijdens onze wandeltocht. Je snuift de frisse berglucht en kunt genieten van het buiten zijn. De ervaring van het in de jungle zijn met de vele geluiden is al uniek. Heerlijk omgeven door intiem mysterieuze nevel. Het hooggelegen en dus koele Tad Fane gaat waarschijnlijk deel uitmaken van het 6000 vierkante km grote beschermde natuurgebied Dong Hua Sao. Met een gids verkennen we het schitterende natuurgebied en maken een tocht langs verschillende woeste watervallen. Met af een toe een prachtige uitzicht over het tropisch nevelwoud. Een nevelwoud is een bergbos bedekt met wolken en mist. De planten kunnen waterdruppels opnemen die condenseren op de bladeren en takken. Het nevelwoud is een zeldzame vorm van een bos. Van alle tropische bossen is maar 2,5% nevelwoud. Maar liefst 86% van alle nevelwouden staat bij het Wereld Natuur Fonds op de lijst van beschermde bossen. De nevelwouden zijn net als regenwouden volop begroeid met verschillende soorten planten. Die moeten beschermd worden tegen uitsterven omdat met het verlies van de soorten bijvoorbeeld eetbare planten verloren gaan. Een plek met bijzondere flora en fauna waar vooral de wandelaars aan hun trekken komen. In de regentijd zijn de paden wel spekglad en zul je gastheer zijn van tientallen bloedzuigers. Je loopt via olifantenpaden langs bergrivieren en je ziet prachtige watervallen waar je ook kunt zwemmen. Vanaf de rotswanden op 1100 meter hoogte zijn de uitzichten adembenemend. Afhankelijk van het seizoen zie je bloeiende bomen, wilde orchideeen en zeldzame vlinders. Een prachtig reservaat met meer dan 300 vogelsoorten waaronder, zie hierboven, de Grote zilverreiger. Diep in het park leven er nog panters, tijgers en een groep wilde Aziatische olifanten. Welkom in het verafgelegen Laos!
Well, Chicago has surprised me once again. I came across this very unique building the other night, and learned it is in fact, a huge prison right in downtown Chicago. That explains the tiny windows. This grand triangular structure, sometimes referred to as "the prism," is named the Metropolitan Correctional Center.
It is a vertical prison, and supposedly has this shape in order to reduce the time needed to patrol its halls.
This brutalist 70's design struck me as a very odd building, indeed. But who knew it was a jail? There is rumored to be an exercise area on the rooftop.
Once again, to be able to get a size I want and as much in the shot as possible, this is 3 vertical images stitched together, and 3 exposures for each image. Tonemapped all in Photomatix, then stitched together in Photoshop.

Hyde & Powell Cable Car - San Francisco, California
Saturday morning I got up and headed out for sunrise. The sky was clear, and Spring really started to show. I made my way out to a spot where I had never completely been before, but have studied for a few months now. A unique spot, with unique subject matter. I grabbed my morning coffee, and drove out to make some long exposures as the light changed with the rising sun. Everything was going great.... I made it out before the sun came up over the East Bay hills, hiked down the "restricted" area, and walked around a bit while looking for the right composition. As I said, everything was great. That is until I went looking for my 10 stop ND. I looked in the normal spot in my bag, and it wasn't there. I looked in a few other places, only to be disappointed once again. Its unlike me to not have everything I need in my bag. I am one of those people that check, recheck, re-recheck my bag for everything that I may need, but not on this morning. I was a bit worried that I may have left the filter someplace, so I hiked back up the hillside and looked around in my truck for a few minutes. Nothing..... I just couldn't find it. As I put my bag behind my seat, I felt the square box in my side pocket. Never, I do mean never do I put filters in those pockets! Oh well..... By that time the good light had past, and I just wasn't feeling that hike, so I planed to head home.
Still early, I decided to make a side trip over to San Francsico to work on my city project. For this image I wanted to get on the Cable Cars before all the tourists were up, and out, so the timing seemed perfect. I headed over to Hyde st, grabbed a free two hour parking spot, and jumped on the first car out.
The couple seen here kept looking at me funny as I wedged my tripod between my leg and the wooden bench to hold the camera still as we made it up and over the steep incline of Hyde. I have got to say..... I knew it wasn't going to be easy getting my compositions right, along with exposure times, but holding a camera still on a car with zero suspension while rolling on steel tracks.... That was the hard part.
After trying a few exposure settings, and not getting the results I wanted, I decided to use the old trusty 10 stop that hampered my sunrise just an hour before. I made a few adjustments, and really like the feel of the high ISO, so I went with a few different composition under these settings. As I have said before.... Sometimes I feel its almost impossible to figure out what image I like best. So for this upload I decided to add a small version of the alternate image.

Basilica del Pilar - Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar
El templo catedralicio y basilical de Nuestra Señora del Pilar es, artísticamente, uno de los monumentos arquitectónicos más importantes de la Cristiandad.
La antigua tradición nos habla de una capilla de adobes, construida por los convertidos a orillas del Ebro, en el lugar de la aparición. El edificio del Pilar se documenta por escrito desde el siglo IX como Iglesia de Santa María.
Tras la conquista de Zaragoza por Alfonso I (1118), fue sustituido por una templo románico a finales del siglo XII, sufriendo grandes modificaciones un siglo más tarde.
El templo románico fue edificado durante el pontificado del obispo Don Pedro de Librana, del que se conserva sólo un tímpano (hoy colocado en el muro sur junto a la puerta baja del templo); es un tímpano centrado por gran crismón rodado que se decora con cierta ingenuidad y monotonía, con rosetas inscritas en círculos unas, más naturalistas otras y recortadas las de la parte baja por las mordeduras del tiempo en el borde inferior de la piedra; el medio punto se decora, en modo continuo y envolvente, con una cinta formando lazos. Es la llamada lápida del «Lábaro de Constantino», de la que deriva el uso en los templos españoles de escribir el nombre de Cristo con X y con P griega. El templo gótico sufrió un incendio en 1434, por lo que exigió nuevas construcciones, acabadas en 1515.
La creciente devoción pilarista impuso el alzado de un nuevo templo, mayor que el gótico, de una sola nave y claustro anejo (rectangular y sencillo, doble largo que ancho, y de unos 85 metros2), que comenzó a calificarse en el siglo XVII, y en el que queda incorporada la Santa Capilla.
La traza general del templo se encargó a Francisco de Herrera el Mozo, cuyas obras comenzaron en 1681; lo principal del edificio barroco, incluidas sus cúpulas, estaba terminado en 1754. Mientras, el Cabildo ya había decidido en 1725 transformar el aspecto de la Santa Capilla, lo que se encomendó a Ventura Rodríguez, quedando concluida en 1765.
El templo del Pilar, joya del barroco aragonés, queda constituido como un inmenso salón (planta rectangular de 130 x 96 m., con una altura máxima de 80 m.) de tres largas naves, más ancha la central que las laterales, divididas en siete tramos, donde alternan a tresbolillo bóvedas y cúpulas, sosteniéndose sobre grandes arcos apoyados en robustos pilares de sección cuadrada -salvo los de la cúpula central, poligonales- todos ellos decorados con pilastras corintias adosadas entre las cuales se inscriben esbeltas hornacinas con dorados flamencos. En medio de la nave central se encuentra el Altar Mayor que contiene el Retablo, una de las obras de arte más importantes de este templo. Rodea el conjunto una serie de capillas, las dos sacristías, el pequeño Coro frente a la Santa Capilla y otras dependencias.
Desde 1676 ostenta la dignidad catedralicia. El 24 de junio de 1948 el Papa Pío XII concedía a la Catedral de Nuestra Señora del Pilar el título y dignidad de Basílica Menor, con el Breve "Decus ornarnentumque". Y desde el 22 de junio de 1904 es Monumento Histórico-Artístico Nacional

Yesterday
all my trouble seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they`re here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday
Suddenly
I`m not half the man I used to be
there`s a shaddow hanging over me
Oh yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go I don`t know
she wouldn`t say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday
Why she had to go.......
Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Why is the sky blue?
The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air.
However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue.
As you look closer to the horizon, the sky appears much paler in color. To reach you, the scattered blue light must pass through more air. Some of it gets scattered away again in other directions. Less blue light reaches your eyes. The color of the sky near the horizon appears paler or white.
