La Brière, ou Grande Brière est drainée par le dernier affluent de la Loire : le Brivet, qui se jette dans l'estuaire à la limite des communes de Saint Nazaire et Montoir de Bretagne.
Son territoire s'étend sur 490 km², dont 170 km² de zones humides, au cœur desquelles le marais de Grande Brière Mottière couvre à lui seul 70 km², qui compte 21 communes.
Les chalands et les chaumières : les deux particularités de la Brière
La chaumière est la maison en toit de chaume traditionnelle dans cette zone de marécage. A une époque où cette zone était transformée en ile à chaque saison hivernale, le chaume était la seule ressource disponible pour couvrir les toits des habitations.
Le Parc de Brière, soucieux de préserver ce précieux patrimoine collectif, poursuit son action : il met gratuitement à disposition son service de conseil architectural et alloue des aides régionales pour les constructions et rénovations de chaumières.
Les sites remarquables pour découvrir les chaumières :le village de Kerhinet à Saint Lyphard, entièrement restauré par le Parc naturel régional de Brière au début des années 70, le village de Kerbourg à Saint-Lyphard, Mayun à la Chapelle-des-Marais, l'île de Fédrun à Saint-Joachim, etc…

La Brière, or Grande Brière is drained by the last tributary of the Loire: the Brivet, which flows into the estuary to the border between the towns of St. Nazaire and Montoir de Bretagne.
Its territory covers 490 km ², of which 170 km ² of wetlands in the heart of which the Grande Brière marsh Mottière alone covers 70 square kilometers, which has 21 municipalities.
Barges and cottages: two peculiarities of the Brière
The cottage is home to traditional roofs in that area of swamp. At a time when this area was transformed into island each winter, the stubble was the only resource available to cover the roofs of houses.
Brière Park, anxious to preserve this precious heritage, continues its work: it is free to offer its consulting services and architectural allocates regional aid for construction and renovations of cottages.
The places to discover the cottages: the village of Saint Kerhinet Lyphard, fully restored by the Parc Naturel Régional de Brière in the early 70s, the village of Saint-Kerbourg Lyphard, Mayun at the Chapelle des Marais, l Island Fédrun in St. Joachim, etc ...

Tanah Lot Temple, Bali, Indonesia
Pura Tanah Lot (Tanah Lot Temple) is Hindu Temple.
Located about 20 km from Denpasar, the temple sits on a huge offshore rock which has been shaped continuously over the years by the ocean tide.
Tanah Lot means "Land in the Middle of the Sea" (in Balinese language) is a famous rock formation off the Indonesian island of Bali.
Note: It is a fantastic place to view beautiful dramatic sunsets. Every day at dusk, tourists throng the area to witness the magnificent silhouette of the temple against the glowing horizon.

This shot was taken with the assistance of Mr.Buyie =)
Yeah! We know this is a boring shot. And we know a lot of people have done this before. We weren't even sure how to do it but finally figured it out. It took us about 50 shots to get it just right.
For this shot, my 580 EXII speedlite was used as a master on Buyie's 40D, while Buyie's 430EXII was used as a slave, put at the left side of the glass, and point it straight to the glass.
We used a black-coloured briefcase for the backround and a a piece of glass for the base.
A credit to Bro. Azli and Bro. Emran for the info of strobist setting.

A sliver of silver ice from the lake. The ice just cleared last week… and this is early. Normally is clears on the first or second week of May.
Flock of sheep (about 300 animals). They are on to the night pasture. They had been grazing in the Immerloopark (park, lake and morass) in Arnhem, the Netherlands.
Schaapskudde in het Immerloopark in Arnhem
Het gras in een van de grotere Arnhemse stadsparken "Het Immerloopark" (park, meertje, moeras) wordt dagelijks op een natuurlijke wijze kort gehouden door een kudde van circa 300 Australische schapen.
Onder leiding van een schaapsherder is de kudde hier onderweg naar de nachtwei.
Twee Border Collies, waarvan er één uiterterst links zichtbaar is, houden de schapen bij elkaar.

This morning was less warm than the last few days, with a promise that the day will be more pleasant as well. Was out in the garden checking on how some things fared in the recent heat wave. This grouping was looking quite well so I thought I'd capture it and share it here.
The Echeveria 'Gilva Spreader', in the foreground, I've shared about before - not as many flowers as we've had previously, but a better showing than expected this year (the weather has been so strange). To the left is Iris foetidissima 'Variegata' - a nice, tough, persistent clump of handsome foliage. Behind it, in front of the large terra-cotta pot, is Calamintha nepeta - we've seem this a lot growing wild in the South of France. My plants came from the late Wayne Roderick, a local plantsman and plant collector. I really enjoy its fragrant, minty foliage.
To the right of the Calamintha is a pot of hybrid Agengel or Pansy-Faced Pelargonium 'Angie' (from our friend Robin at geraniaceae.com). Below 'Angie' is a small, blue-gray carpet of Sedum rupestre. I also grow the very closely related S. sediforme, but S. rupestre is distinctive in its flower stems which emerge arched over like an umbrella handle before straightening up when in flower. Between this Sedum and the Echeveria first mentioned, is the foliage of Stachys chrysantha.
In the rear is a large plant of Lavandula dentata and a small potted specimen of L. viridis. The succulent in the top left corner is Crassula perfoliata var. heterotricha.
Trying to make variations on the same theme. I'm not bored with it yet. After the silhouette portraits I want to catch them in action. It's quite a hassle, my camera needs to think for ages it seems before the click. But I have new chances every day. And it isn't even august with the truly great sunsets. I also want to do sunrises with the low hanging fog, that could result in some interesting shots..

About the photo:
Don't you wish we could all sit in a pasture of wild flowers, playing with a cute puppy and enjoying a view of the Carpathian mountains? Well, that would be nice :-)
I was going to save this photo for May Day, since it was originally taken on 1 May 2006. However, I was scrounging for something to post today and this is what struck my eye.
About the process:
This photo was taken with a very old digital camera. The quality isn't stellar and in the original, the mountains are hardly visible. I ran this through Photomatix as a single exposure HDR and then added high-contrast overlays to bring out the form of the mountains. The HDR processing produced very acrid colors, so I overlaid a desaturated version of the image to tone down the saturation. Finally, I used a liberal high-pass filter to clarify the image.
I am a bit dissatisfied with the halo along the treeline, but it is much better than the original--trust me, lol. And, the halo helps sharpen the printing, so I decided to just leave it.

This is a three shot "Long Exposure" HDR and there was very little light inside, but no foot traffic and my tripod with me made it possible. Far from perfect, but was good fun.
The road at the end angled slightly up is still covered with snow. Plus, this tunnel is shared by nature walkers in the day and animals during the night.
I hope everyone is having a great Friday today and looking forward to the weekend.
(Aussie's & NZ are already having a great weekend, right? lol)

Dragon Cave
South of Yangshuo County
Guilin, Guangxi Province China
It is widely believed that Guilin boasts the most beautiful scenery in China, and Yangshuo scenery is the most beautiful of Guilin. Assembling Dragon (Julong) Cave is a pearl inlaid in Yangshuo scenery characterized by pretty rocks, strange caves and clear waters.
Located six kilometers (3.7 miles) south of Yangshuo County, Assembling Dragon Cave is at the foot of Ma Hill (Horse Hill) between Moon Hill and Big Banyan, comprising Black Cave and Water Cave. The cave gets its name from the surrounding peaks, like circling dragons, and the numerous stalactites with shapes suggesting images of dragons in diversified postures.

The Blossoming continues into its fourth day. In order to blossom into our true potential, we need to open up. We cannot expect the lotus to bloom, while still being a closed bud.
The same holds true for us. We cannot expect to transform into our full potentials if we do not open up to greater possibilities that walk in front of us. A big reason we remain closed is fear. And fear comes from darkness.
Just as the sunlight gently caresses the lotus flower to bloom, we need the inner light to overcome our fears and step out of the darkness. Then our potential will begin to shine.
More to come in this series...watch this space.

We were in NYC but was still cold for a walk in Central Park.
We drove through Long Is, NY and ended up on this enchanting island. (More pics to come!)
This lighthouse is a 167 foot Stone tower that began operation in 1858 to replace the 89 foot tower originally built in 1827.
I think this is the building where one scene(beginning portion) in
"National Treasure 2 : Book Of Secrets " ( starring Nicolas Cage, Justin Bartha, Diane Kruger, Jon Voight, Helen Mirren and Ed Harris) was shot.
The scene at the mail office (supposedly in a Massachusetts town).
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Well, after quite a long break, I am back! After 2 years of somehow continuous intensive 'flickering', I needed that long break, and I have also decided to slow down the flickr pace. From now on I will be posting less, and won't be able to comment back on all my visitors as I used to do before. I apologize in advance.
On other challenges, Flickr access from the UAE is totally blocked now, so I have to use a paid VPN service (the famous Firefox 'Access Flickr' add-on does not work anymore). The reason Flickr is blocked here is because of all the porn content.
Anyway, it's good to be back and I look forward catching (slowly) on your streams!

Una de las cosas que más disfruté de Caracas fue viajar en metro.
Porque me sentía una más, me sentía parte.
Porque me permitía observar la cotidianeidad de la gente.
Porque era como vivir un pedacito de la vida de mis amigos, ya que lo usan constantemente.
Y también porque sí...
