“O queixo atado, a velha doma gaúcha
'son cosas brujas’ qual ponteio de guitarra,
o tempo se vai, um costeio mais
no bagual que sai e esbarra,
outra sova e já se tem pingo pras garras...”

Cap de Creus - Cadaqués, Girona (Spain).

ENGLISH
The Cap de Creus (Cape of crosses in Catalan) is located at the far NE of Spain, some 25 km south from the French border, in Catalonia. Nearest town is Figueres, capital of the Alt Empordá and fatherland of Salvador Dalí. It is a peninsula of 190 square kilometres of an extraordinary landscape value; a very rocky dry region, with almost no trees, in contrast with a seaside rich in minuscule creeks of deep blue sea to anchor. Mountains are the last eminences of the Pyrenees which make the natural border between France and Spain. The region is frequently swept by awful north wind "tramontana" (beyond mountains) which has caused many naval disasters. Cadaqués is the most well known village, home of artists and writers, with sophisticated and snobbish atmosphere, near Port Lligat where Dalí built his home in a paradise small bay. Port de la Selva, with a little fishing harbour is less exploited, with good gastronomic recourses and pleasant terraces. Fantastic San Pere de Rodes stands out at 500 m of altitude with spectacular views of the Cap and the Pyrenees. It is a 11th century monastery whose first structures date from about 750 AD. It is a magnificent building in Catalan roman style with imposing dimensions and some pre-Romanic painting rests.
Cap de Creus is the easternmost point of mainland Spain. It is located in Alt Empordà, Catalonia.
The legend tells that the Cap de Creus was made by Hercules.

CASTELLANO
El Cabo de Creus (en catalán, cap de Creus), es un promontorio abrupto y rocoso de 672 m de altitud que se alza sobre el mar Mediterráneo en el nordeste de España. Está situado en la comarca gerundense del Alto Ampurdán (Alt Empordà), en la comunidad autónoma de Cataluña, al norte del golfo de Rosas (golf de Roses). Constituye el punto más oriental de la península Ibérica.
Está sujeto a la acción del oleaje, provocado fundamentalmente por la tramuntana (nombre local que recibe un viento frío que sopla del norte y noroeste) y los vientos de levante.
Geomorfológicamente, forma parte de las estribaciones del Pirineo oriental, que se adentran en el mar por el macizo del cabo de Creus. Sobre terrenos graníticos y esquistosos del ordovícico (paleozoico), presenta una vegetación dominante de matorrales y formaciones arbustivas. El cabo de Creus, en cuyo extremo se sitúa un faro, se encuentra en una pequeña península de carácter montañoso, cortada por numerosas entalladuras, a modo de pequeñas calas, orientadas en función de la estructura pizarrosa. En esta área se registran unas precipitaciones anuales que oscilan entre los 500 y 800 mm; se trata, por tanto, de un clima mediterráneo húmedo, caracterizado por la suavidad térmica y unas moderadas precipitaciones.
En el extremo oriental del cabo, a 87 m de altitud, se ubica un faro cuya señal lumínica tiene un alcance de 34 millas.
The sun rises from behind Gasherbrum IV, one of the 'smaller' Gasherbrum peaks at 7925 meters at Concordia.

Este pajarillo lo encontramos en el jardin, Lunita quiso jugar con él y el pobrecito se asustó y se chocó con la verja, rapidamente lo cogi (temia que Luna le hiciera daño sin querer) y lo entre en casa, solo se quedo atontadito durante un rato, al ver que no tenia heridas lo saque al jardin y lo deje volar para que buscara a su mama.... estuve a puntito de quedarmelo pero estoy segura que lo unico que queria el pobre era volver con su mama alli en el nidito... a que era muy lindo!? :D

SAIL TO THE MOON - Radiohead
I sucked the moon
I spoke too soon
And how much did it cost?
I was dropped from moonbeams
And sailed on shooting stars
Maybe you'll
Be president
But know right from wrong
Or in the flood
You'll build an Ark
And sail us to the moon
Sail us to the moon
Sail to the moon
**************
NAVEGANDO HASTA LA LUNA - Radiohead
Succioné la luna
Hablé demasiado pronto
¿Y cuanto me costó?
Me arrojaron desde los rayos de luna.
Y navegué
sobre estrellas fugaces.
Tal vez llegues a presidente
Pero diferencia
lo correcto de lo erróneo
o en la inundación
construirás un Arca
Y nos llevarás navegando hasta la luna
nos llevarás navegando hasta la luna
nos llevarás navegando hasta la luna
nos llevarás navegando hasta la luna.
nuvens em nova versão :)

10 minutes from where my previous (and by far most popular) shot was taken is this huge span of a bridge along State Route 20. This whole area is a recreational vehicle area, so I was constantly surrounded by the sound of 2 stroke motorbikes and off road vehicles. But I stood my ground, to get these 7 shots.. and thus.. I present it to you.

"The oldest living city in the world".
This is another picture taken this morning at sunrise near Sankathi Ghat along river Ganga in Varanasi (Benaras).
It belongs to the series of a new topic about wrestlers in Varanasi which I am showing here with no PP work for a change.
This is Vinod who is also trained by a Russian coach, he has also a little "shop" down the ghat where the gym is standing where he is selling pan, thea, water and sweets.
The gym where we did those pictures is facing river Ganga which gave this vivid colors so early in the morning.
Pehlwan means wrestler in Hindi.

The Nescio Bridge connects Amsterdam with IJburg via Diemen.
The bridge was opened on the 9th of April to make a better connection with Amsterdam Central Station, Amsterdam suburb Watergraafsmeer and IJburg.
It is the largest bike-pedestrian bridge in the Netherlands and is 780 meters or 2560 ft.
I live just 25 meters from the bridge and you can look inside my room when you’re standing on the bridge.

In my opinion the most spectacular show in Asia, its the symphony of lights in Hong Kong island.
While driving the brother-in-laws van with all of us returning back to Tokyo from a wonderful ski/onsen vacation, I noticed the reflection of the road in my lenses while looking in the rearview mirror.
Pulled out my trusty Canon IXY 910 (always on my person these days!), quickly set to macro mode and snapped the reflection off my Oakley Half-Jackets (lenses are actually this color).
Non-HDR shot taken on the mountain road heading out of Kusatsu, Japan.
I begin to like more and more the black and white images!
Orlando Rebelo (a portuguese photographer) once said "There is something about black and white that color cannot transmit... I think that colors distract us from the essential on an image".
I think this is the goal on a good black&white photo!
What a great quote and what a great photographer!

Streaming Train in a Urban London UK Underground station...very quiet for a change, apart from a lost ghost train architecture. City of London Urban, Metropolitan
The London Underground is a metro system serving a large part of Greater London and neighbouring areas of Essex, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire in England. It is the world's oldest underground railway system. It is usually referred to as the Underground or the Tube - the latter deriving from the shape of the system's deep-bore tunnels - although about 55% of the network is above ground.
The earlier lines of the present London Underground network, which were built by various private companies, became part of an integrated transport system (which excluded the main line railways) in 1933 with the creation of the London Passenger Transport Board (LPTB), more commonly known by its shortened name: "London Transport".
The Underground has 268 stations and approximately 400 km (250 miles) of track,[1] making it the longest metro system in the world by route length,[4] and one of the most served in terms of stations. In 2007, over one billion passenger journeys were recorded.
Transport for London (TfL) was created in 2000 as the integrated body responsible for London's transport system. It replaced London Regional Transport. It assumed control of London Underground Limited in July 2003.
The London Underground's 11 lines are the Bakerloo line, Central line, Circle line, District line, Hammersmith & City line, Jubilee line, Metropolitan line, Northern line, Piccadilly line, Victoria line, and Waterloo & City line.
Until 2007 there was a twelfth line, the East London line, but this has closed for rebuilding work. It will be reopen as part of London Overground - part of the National Rail network and eventually connected to its North London Line - in 2010.
The Underground has been featured in many movies and television shows, including Sliding Doors, Tube Tales and Neverwhere. The London Underground Film Office handles over 100 requests per month. The Underground has also featured in music such as The Jam's "Down in the Tube Station at Midnight" and in literature such as the graphic novel V for Vendetta. Popular legends about the Underground being haunted persist to this day.
The Underground currently sponsors and contributes to the arts via its Platform for Art and Poems on the Underground projects. Poster and billboard space (and in the case of Gloucester Road tube station, an entire disused platform) is given over to artwork and poetry to "create an environment for positive impact and to enhance and enrich the journeys of ... passengers".[
The London Underground's 11 lines are the Bakerloo line, Central line, Circle line, District line, Hammersmith & City line, Jubilee line, Metropolitan line, Northern line, Piccadilly line, Victoria line, and Waterloo & City line. Until 2007 there was a twelfth line, the East London line, but this has closed for conversion work and will be transferred to the London Overground when it reopens in 2010.
Transport for London (TfL) was created in 2000 as the integrated body responsible for London's transport system. It replaced London Regional Transport. It assumed control of London Underground Limited in July 2003.
TfL is part of the Greater London Authority and is constituted as a statutory corporation regulated under local government finance rules.[22] It has three subsidiaries: London Transport Insurance (Guernsey) Ltd., the TfL Pension Fund Trustee Co. Ltd. and Transport Trading Ltd (TTL). TTL has six wholly-owned subsidiaries, one of which is London Underground Limited.

Lake Wakatipu is an inland lake (finger lake) in the South Island of New Zealand. It is at 45°3′S, 168°30′E, in the southwest corner of Otago, near its boundary with Southland.
With a length of 80 kilometres, it is New Zealand's longest lake, and, at 291 km², its third largest. It is at an altitude of 310 metres, towards the southern end of the Southern Alps. The general topography is a reversed "N" shape. The Dart River flows into the northern end, the lake then runs south for 30 kilometres before turning abruptly to the east. Twenty kilometres further along, it turns sharply to the south, reaching its southern end 30 kilometres further south, near Kingston.
The lake is drained by the Kawarau River, which flows out from the lake's Frankton Arm, 8km east of Queenstown. Queenstown is on the northern shore of the lake close to eastern end of its middle section. The lake is very deep, its floor being as low as 100 metres below sea level. It has a seiche of period 26.7 minutes which, in Queenstown Bay, causes the water level to rise and fall some 200 millimetres.
Lake Wakatipu is renowned for its scenic beauty, being surrounded by mountains. The Remarkables mountain range lies along its southeastern edge. It is a popular venue for adventure tourism, with skifields, paragliding, bungy jumping and tramping tracks within easy reach. A vintage steamboat, the TSS Earnslaw regularly plies its waters. Several vineyards are nearby.

Another dramatic red sunset from my London Sunset series, here the sun is hiding behind the silhouette while painting the clouds in red. Sunset..the neverending subject.

A cold December evening on top of the cliffs looking down on to the beach. There were three people standing there waiting for the sun to go down and I thought the image looked kinda cool.
White, limestones facades of the Hotel the Ville, the Opera, the Grand Hotel and the museum Beaux Arts around the square in the center of Nancy. The statue in the center of the square is the man called Stanislas, the generous and wealthy man of the Lorraine.
De witte, kalkstenen façades van het Hôtel de Ville, de Opéra, het Grand Hôtel en het Musée de Beaux Arts omlijsten het plein. De tegels zijn een tint witter, twee zwarte diagonalen trekken er een kruis op. De uiterst barokke fonteinen met hun gouden hekwerken vragen om aandacht, evenals de vergulden lantaarns. Maar de indrukwekkende bolling van het plein en de diagonalen sturen de blik toch vooral naar de man die in het midden staat: het standbeeld van Stanislas, ‘weldoener’ van de Lorraine.

se encontraban los patos en el Estany de Puigcerdà (Girona), al caer la tarde, fué divertido verlos incluso patinar sobre él.
“Aquí están también las bolas
u pa avestruz, u pa potro,
y que, como dijo el otro,
«de güenas, bolean solas».

In back of the Stage Harbor Lighthouse at Chatham, Cape Cod. This landing is hidden away a bit on Sears Neck, at the end of a series of winding roads. Though I grew up here I've only just been there for the first time this year. Very odd to find new places in a town only four miles on each side and surrounded by ocean.

“La tropilla entablada es una antigua habilidad criolla ingeniada por el gaucho frente al desamparo del desierto, al que debía cruzar a caballo durante días y días. Tener reunida la tropilla y cambiar caballo sin contar con un corral -o sustituto- era una de las dificultades de esa vida errabunda. Aun cuando el desierto llegó a poblarse, tener a mano una tropilla, agarrar caballo y ensillar en pleno campo es, hasta hoy, un trastorno insoluble. De aquí que la tropilla agrupada por el instinto animal y la hábil paciencia del resero, especialmente, continúe siendo un recurso indispensable...”

From November to December it is the season of sunflower blooming. Not far from Bangkok, there is lots of sunflower fields blooming alomst the same time.
Driving and expecting so we found the first sunflower field was so beautiful and stunning with cheerful yellow field, mountain background and lively elephants and people.
As blooming time is not long so it is golden time too. Those elephants added so much the joy in the field. They walk happily in the field. Thai people are familiar with elephant.
The elephant I sat on is 20 years old female elephant called "ลมโชย" or "Breezing Wind". She walked and stopped here and there several times to grasp grass for eating. We was happy as she was happy walking carrying three of us and one owner of hers. We fed her with sugarcane some minutes before we decided to have elephant walk with her. So she may remembered us. The owner didn't push her to walk faster though he could earn more money. I asked why and the owner said let her be happy.. and I was so happy to hear that, otherwise I could pay more for more time.
It was bright day, sunny with cloud shadow so the weather was all day comfortable.
I heard happy talks and saw happy smiles all around in those happy colors of flowery field.. Just another one fine day.
(added)
There is a small road withiin the field so people and elephant could walk without flattening the flowers..There is a temporary tower using as platform for elephant onbard : )))) so we can took location like this but Ithis shot actually took when I was sitting on elephant.. when she walked the world just incline in each step so photo comes like that...

Lying 35km south of Semporna, on Sabah's mainland, like many tropical island it is thickly forested and surrounded by sandy beaches. Sipadan is an oceanic island and was formed by living corals growing on top of an extinct undersea volcano, which rises 600m from the seabed.
