I went to the "gianicolo" to shoot the full moon rising over Rome last night, but there was a huge cloud cover and no good light, so I ended up shooting this instead.... I have to admit I think I like this better than if I had gotten the moon shot :-)

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...

What? Did you actually think I would leave Austria without showing you the capital?
Welcome to Vienna, Austria. The 10th largest city by population in the European Union and one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It was ranked #1 (tied with Vancouver) among 127 cities for overall quality of life in a 2005 study.
This is a photograph of The Upper Belvedere. A baroque palace that was built between 1720-1723. Belvedere is a palace complex built by Prince Eugene of Savoy just south-east of the historic city center of Vienna.
Although it was raining when we visited Laurie and I still had a wonderful time exploring the complex. There is a magnificent garden with plenty of fountains just behind this building, that I wish the whole world could see. The gardens were designed by Dominique Girard who trained in the gardens of Versailles as a young student.
I hope you enjoy the majestic view and have yourselves a great weekend!
I will be catching up with all your streams tonight, see you on Monday!

La simetría es un rasgo característico de formas geométricas, sistema, ecuaciones, y otros objetos materiales o entidades abstractas, relacionada con su invariancia bajo ciertas transformaciones, movimientos o intercambios.
En condiciones formales, decimos que un objeto es simétrico en lo que concierne a una operación matemática dada, si, cuando aplicado al objeto, esta operación no cambia el objeto o su aspecto. Dos objetos son simétricos uno al otro en lo que concierne a un grupo dado de operaciones si uno es obtenido de otro por algunas operaciones (y viceversa). En la geometría 2D las clases principales de simetría de interés son las que conciernen a las isometrías de un espacio euclídeo: traslaciones, rotaciones, reflexiones y reflexiones que se deslizan.
Symmetry is a characteristic feature of geometrical forms, system, equations, and other material objects or abstract entities, related to its invariance under certain transformations, movements or exchanges.
In formal terms, we say that an object is symmetric with respect to a given mathematical operation, if, when applied to the object, this operation does not change the object or its appearance. Two objects are symmetrical each other with respect to a given group of operations if one is obtained by some other operations (and vice versa). In 2D geometry the main kinds of symmetry of interest are those concerning the isometries of a Euclidean space: translations, rotations, reflections and glide reflections.
Yazd (pronounced /jæzd/) (In Persian: یزد), is the capital of Yazd province in Iran, and a centre of Zoroastrian culture. The city is located some 175 miles southeast of Isfahan. In 2005 it had an estimated population of 433,836 people.[1] In 2006 it had an estimated population of 505,037. [2]. Because of generations of adaptations to its desert surroundings, Yazd is an architecturally unique city. It is also known in Iran for the high quality handicrafts, especially silk weaving, and its sweets shops
History
The city has a 3000 year long history, dating back to the time of the Median empire, when it was known as Ysatis (or Issatis). The present city name, however, may have been derived from Yazdegerd I, a Sassanid ruler. The city was definitely a Zoroastrian centre during Sassanid times. After the Islamic conquest of Persia, many Zoroastrians fled to Yazd from neighbouring provinces. The city remained Zoroastrian even after the conquest by paying a levy, and only gradually did Islam come to be the dominant religion in the city
Because of its remote desert location and the difficulty of approach, Yazd had remained largely immune to large battles and the destruction and ravages of war. For instance, it was a haven for those fleeing from destruction in other parts of Persia during the invasion of Genghis Khan. It was visited by Marco Polo in 1272 who remarked on the city's fine silk-weaving industry. It briefly served as the capital of the Muzaffarid Dynasty in the fourteenth century, and was sieged unsuccessfully in 1350–1351 by the Injuids under Shaikh Abu Ishaq. The Friday (or Congregation) Mosque, arguably the city's greatest architectural landmark, as well as other important buildings, date to this period. During the Qajar dynasty (18th Century AD) it was ruled by the Bakhtiari Khans.
There is a very amazing thing about Yazd and its people who moved to the east of Yazd. In the rule of the Safavis (16. century) people from Yazd migrated to a place and called it Yazdi: This place is currently on the Iranian-Afghan border in the province of Farah, in Farah city in Afghanistan. The people of Yazdi in Farah city, in the province of Farah, are all Persians and Shi'ite (Shi'a) Muslims. They speak with an accent that is very similar to the Iranian people of Yazd. These Shi'ite-Persians in Yazdi of Farah city are forgotten.
Architecture and Heritage
Yazd has some of the finest examples of traditional desert Persian residential architecture.Yazd is of foremost importance as a centre of Persian architecture. Because of its climate, it has one of the largest networks of qanats in the world, and Yazdi qanat makers are considered the most skilled in Iran. To deal with the extremely hot summers, many old buildings in Yazd have magnificent windcatchers, and large underground areas. The city is also home to prime examples of yakhchals, the latter of which were used to store ice retrieved from glaciers the nearby mountains. Yazd is also one of the largest cities built almost entirely out of adobe.
Yazd's heritage as a centre of Zoroastrianism is also important. There is a Tower of Silence on the outskirts, and the city itself has a Fire Temple, which holds a fire that has been kept alight continuously since 470 AD. Presently, Zoroastrians make up a significant minority of the population, around 20 - 40,000 or 5 to 10%.

Yesterday I was treated to a wonderful visit from one of the most sincere people on the planet. Doug was in the area on a family vacation for Spring Break. Well, I shouldn’t say that. They were in the same state as me, but still 80+ miles away to the south. He was nice enough to come up yesterday, through the traffic of LA and let me use/touch/feel some of his awesome equipment. He has quite the collection and is ready for just about any wedding, sunset, barn, kid or anything else. He set up his Alien Bee, let me play with his Singh-Ray filters, his D300 and everything else. He even tried to explain his calculus-like method for photo processing. I used to consider myself somewhat smart, but his technique of layers, multiple-sharpening, and RAW conversions had my head spinning like a broken bobble-head toy.
We finished our meetup with a trek down to the beach in hopes of a cloud-inspired dramatic sunset. We didn’t get it. The wind from earlier in the day blew away our dramatic sunset, but with some crafty techniques, filters, tripods and a splash or 3 from the Pacific, we were blessed with a few good shots. I know his will blow mine away, but it was fun nonetheless.
As we were leaving the beach, in the darkness I saw a long rock moving on the beach. It was inching up the sand like a worm. Coming closer I realized it was a Sea Lion. Not sure if it was hurt, sad, hungry, cold or just bored, but it was very friendly, slithering where ever we went. If I didn’t have a phobia of wild animals, I would have pet him or perhaps tried to sand wrestle him, but instead called Animal Control who eventually told me this behavior was normal, for upto half a day.
I have my weekend free from photographic obligations, so I think I’m going to take advantage of that, and cut my kids hair. Maybe I’ll have a cocktail before I begin.
NOT HDR. I did bracket 3 shots and then manually blended them. I think it has a more realistic look. I was also using a Cokin GND filter for the sky, but don’t think it did much at this point.
There will be a Day Devotional
There will be a Day
I try to hold on to this world with everything I have
But I feel the weight of what it brings, and the hurt that tries to grab
The many trials that seem to never end, His word declares this truth,
that we will enter in this rest with wonders anew
But I hold on to this hope and the promise that He brings
That there will be a place with no more suffering
(Chorus)
There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more, we'll see Jesus face to face
But until that day, we'll hold on to you always
I know the journey seems so long
You feel you’re walking on your own
But there has never been a step
Where you’ve walked out all alone
(Chorus)
Troubled soul don’t lose your heart
Cause joy and peace he brings
And the beauty that’s in store
Outweighs the hurt of life’s sting
I can’t wait until that day where the very one I’ve lived for always will wipe away the sorrow that I’ve faced
To touch the scars that rescued me from a life of shame and misery this is why this is why I sing

holaaaa volevo postare un self ma mi usciva un Service, allora ho pensato a una cosa che piu' mi rappresentasse, un vecchio carretto, poggiato su un muretto che guarda tutti dall'lato, non perchè mi ritenga chissà chi o chissè cosa, no...anzi, perchè mi piace osservare come si muovono le persone, viste da una prospettiva diversa, ecco perchè ho scelto di essere uno zombie, vivo ma zombie, che osserva e scruta.
Strana la vita, guardo ma non mi muovo, osservo ma ho difficoltà a raggiungere, bloccato dalla mia pigrizia cronica e da altre coincidenze meno salutari, mi sento come un morto vivente, o un vivo morente?
Bho...so però che non mollo, osservo, scruto e commento, leggo tutti i vostri post, tutti i vostri commenti, mi piace curiosare sulle vostre condizioni di "UmAni" correnti, non come i conti, ma vivi e dinamici.
Ecco questo "mio"self ve lo dedico a tutti voi che tutti i giorni passate da qui.
Un regalo vivo da parte di uno che di vivo ne ha visto tanto su queste pagine e che ancora non si è stancato!
buena tarde zomberos....e non esagero se uso il termine amicacci miei!
Do you have the time
To listen to me whine
About nothing and
every thing all at once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone
no doubt about it
Some times I give
myself the creeps
Some times my mind
plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid,
or am I just stoned?
I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She says it's lack
of sex that's bringing
me down
I went to a whore
He said my life's a bore
And quit my whining
'cause it's bringing
her down
Some times I give
myself the creeps
Some times my mind
plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Yo Yo Yo
Grasping to control
So you better hold on
Some times I give
myself the creeps
Some times
my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid,
Or am I just stoned?
Or am I just stoned?

Loads of em' plus a bonus leftover Persied meteor after peak last fall as seen here.
This is another from the land of very little (but still some as you can see) light pollution at Steens Mountain in SE Oregon. If you like night skies, this is a great area to visit!
Image notes: The keys for this shot were very little light pollution, no moon, high ISO (1600) wide aperture (F/3.2) and a relatively short exposure to prevent obvious star trails (30 seconds). A bit of reverse USM (30%, 60 radius, 0 threshold) and ACR clarity (you can open TIFFs as well as RAW in ACR if they are 16bit) helped to further pop the stars.
The foreground was light painted with an extremely bright LED torch from Lowes (Task Force 2 C cell Cree LED flashlight). It was really too bright at 1600 ISO wide open so I had to basically turn it on and paint what I wanted super fast or it completely burned out. I should have probably taken a second exposure at a much lower ISO and could have taken my time light painting and had a much easier go of it. Then later in post combine the two. I think I was just on a kick to get it all in the original untouched shot for this one, whatever original untouched actually means heh.
This is dedicated to littlefoot mek, she wrote a great testimonial for me. She has been my contact for a long time and we crossed paths on my very first post to the Bokeh Wednesday group. So I felt it would be best to dedicate this HBW shot to her, Thanks you are truly a good friend.

Crocus is a genus of perennial flowering plants, native to a large area from coastal and subalpine areas of central and southern Europe (including the islands of the Aegean), North Africa and the Middle East, across Central Asia to western China.
There are about eighty species of crocus (of which approximately 30 are cultivated). Their color varies enormously, although lilac, mauve, yellow and white are predominant. (Source: en.wikipedia)
Recommended to View Large On Black ;-) !
Krokus (Crocus) gehört zur Familie der Schwertliliengewächse (Iridaceae). Ihre Arten stammen aus dem Orient, Europa und Nordafrika. Es gibt sehr viele Züchtungen, die man unter dem Begriff Krokus-Hybriden zusammenfassen kann und die man in den Parks und Gärten in den gemäßigten Breiten auf der ganzen Welt antrifft. In Mitteleuropa werden sie vor allem als Frühblüher in Ziergärten und Rasen gepflanzt.
Es gibt etwa 80 bis 120 Crocus-Arten. Die im Frühjahr oder im Herbst erscheinenden Blüten variieren stark in der Farbe, aber lila, hellviolett, gelb und weiß sind vorherrschend. (Quelle: Wikipedia)

The North Sea Canal is a Dutch ship canal from Amsterdam to the North Sea at IJmuiden, constructed between 1865 and 1876 to enable seafaring vessels to reach the port of Amsterdam. It ends at Amsterdam in the closed-off IJ Bay, which in turn connects to the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal. The North Sea averages about 100 m. The beaches and coastal waters of the North Sea are popular destinations for tourists. The Dutch coasts are especially developed for tourism. Windsurfing and sailing are popular sports because of the winds. Because of the strong tides and areas of still water, the North Sea is more difficult to sail than the Baltic or the Mediterranean. Mudflat hiking, recreational fishing, and diving, including wreck diving, are all possible. The North Pier near Wijk aan Zee shown above is a nice fishing spot. Anglers from all over the country come to the North pier. At the beginning of the North pier, just across the restaurant you can do some good sea bass fishing. In stormy weather there is a good catch of fish on the inner side. On the pier there is not really one super spot with fish. One moment there is a good catch across the corner, the other moment there is not, whilst the catch is then good at the fence. Is the fishing bad from the beach because of the cold weather, then some fish can be caught on the pier in the deeper water. Sole, codfish, gurnard, dab, flounder, garfish, sea brass, eel pout, eel, whiting, plaice, pout, sea trout, pollack, twaite, mackerel, and mullet can be catched. Various types you will only catch in summer, but a surprise is not impossible. Avoid the pier with stormy weather, because it can be perilous because of breaking waves.
A photo of the lighthouse at the beginning of the North Sea Canal. It's beautiful walk of 1.5 km to the lighthouse at the North Pier of Wijk aan Zee - Netherlands. It was a lovely sunny day but I had to work. At the the day's end I went to the beach. There was almost no wind and the colors of the sunset were beautiful. It was 30 minutes after sunset. Exposure 4 sec. F8.0, ISO80 and -1.0EV. The flying geese were taken 10 minutes before with standard exposure and blended into this composite. Please notice the fisherman at the end of the pier. After this walk I went for dinner at the sociable Aloha beach club which is open even during the winter season but today it was the first day in spring ;-)
Het Noordzeekanaal is een kanaal in Nederland dat loopt van de stad Amsterdam (het IJ) naar IJmuiden en Velsen Noord aan de andere kant, waar het uiteindelijk uitmondt in de Noordzee. Om de verbinding tussen de Haven van Amsterdam en de Noordzee te verbeteren werd in 1824 het Noordhollandsch Kanaal tussen Amsterdam en Den Helder in gebruik genomen. Dit kanaal voldeet al snel niet meer aan de eisen van het groeiende scheepvaartverkeer. Daarom werd enkele decennia later besloten om via de kortste verbinding tussen Amsterdam en de Noordzee een kanaal te graven. Hierbij werden de duinen nabij Velsen op het smalste deel van Holland ('Holland op zijn Smalst') doorgraven. Er werden sluizen aangelegd die de verbinding vormen tussen het kanaal en de zee.
Zijn de visvangsten door de kou vanaf het strand slecht, dan valt er op de pier door het diepere water nog wel een visje te vangen Tong, kabeljauw, knorhaan, schar, bot, geep, zeebaars, puitaal, paling, wijting, schol, steenbolk, zeeforel, koolvis, fint, makreel en harder. Diverse soorten zal je uitsluitend in de zomer vangen, maar verrassingen zijn niet uitgesloten. Zo kan je midden november nog best een dikke tong vangen en de zeebaars blijft ook steeds langer. De Noordpier bij Wijk aan Zee: een fijne visstek. Hengelaars uit het gehele land komen naar de Noordpier toe. Aan het begin van de Noordpier, even voorbij het restaurant is het goed zeebaars vissen. Bij storm wordt er aan de binnenkant goed vis gevangen. Mijd de pier met storm, want het kan dan levensgevaarlijk zijn door overslaande golven.
Het is een mooie wandeling van zo'n 1.5 km naar de vuurtoren. De hele dag was zonnig maar ik moest helaas werken maar 's avonds uit werk gelijk naar het strand gegaan van Wijk aan Zee. Prachtig avondrood met blauwgrijze Noordzee. Mijn statief meegenomen maar er was eigenlijk te weinig deining om de golfslag mooi vast te leggen. Deze foto geschoten een halfuur na zonsondergang met sluitertijd 4 seconde. De vogels vlogen eerder over en genomen met standaard belichting en later in deze foto bewerkt. Een mooi detail is de visser aan het einde van de pier. Na de late strandwandeling in de gezellige Aloha beach club diner gegeten. Deze club is zelf 's winters open maar vandaag was het de eerste lentedag :-)

The building's lighting shadow running on an angle and really disappointed me, but it's the way it is and obviously nothing that 5 bucks and a kid with a pellet gun can't fix with a few simple pumps and a little aiming.
Many thanks to all of you that took a look at my last sphere image and I am thrilled to see a few go visit my friend Eddi 07 for a few textures.
Have a wonderful Saturday and I'm thinking of a possible double image day to make up for the weak week.
Thanks again my friends and as always
