"In my silver ship I sail
a dream that ended to soon
now I know exactly who I am,
and what I am here for
and I will go sailing no more
All the things I thought I'd be,
all the brave things I'd done
vanished like a snowflake,
with the rising of the Sun
never more to sail my ship,
where no man has gone before
and I will go sailing no more..."

Even as the storm was coming in he continued with his fishing.
I was lucky as I broke into a run after taking this shot and managed to prevent my precious camera and equipment from getting drenched. Hope he managed some shelter too.

Freshly caught- that was what they were. Sitangkai is in the basin of the Sulu Sea teeming with marine life. Being Muslim, the people of Tawi-Tawi rely on fish for protein. Beef is practically non-existent as the islands in Sitangkai are small. Goats and chicken are also few. But when you have a bounty of the sea right at your doorstep, you would not really miss terra firma meat.

Sometimes if you use a polarizing filter optimally it looks to me like you're poking straight through the atmosphere. Definitely best viewed large.
One joins the Sinulog for several reasons: obligation, piety, community volunteerism, remuneration. But when you already are in the thick of it all, you soon realize that you are also there to have fun. These guys are seriously enjoying themselves and I applaud them for it.

Today is Valentine day 2006. Instead of roses, I select the love fishes to celebrate this day with Flickr member. This fish,in Japan, is called "Koi" which means Love. It's quite difficult to take photo of fast moving fishes with sunlight in shade. Photo is taken at Chok Chai farm house, Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand.
To take this shot, I inclined more than half body over the pond and my friend just held my hand preventing me falling down to the pond. However, I dropped skylight filter into the water, but got it back later.
Which love fish do you like ?

NEGO DO CABELO BOM
Max de Castro
(cantando junto com a minha xará, Paula Lima, que adoro !!!)
Muita gente implica com meu pixaim
Mas o que implica é que o cabelo é bom
E quando isso me irrita vai ter briga sim
Porque não aceito discriminação
E quando vou a praia alguém sempre diz
Teu cabelo é duro, entra água não
Se é impermeável isso é problema meu
Na verdade o que é duro é o seu coração
Alisa ele não
É o que minha nega sempre diz prá mim
Alisa ele não
Você é meu nego do cabelo bom
Alisa ele não
É você quem dita a moda em Paris
Não sou vaselina
Não vacile não
Não sou vaselina
Não vacile não
Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders
"Miami has the Dolphins,
The greatest football team!
We take the ball from goal to goal,
Like no one's ever seen!
We're in the air,
We're on the ground,
We're always in control.
So when you say Miami,
You're talking Super Bowl!
Cause we're the Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins Number 1
Yes we're the Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins Number 1."

This lonely King series remembers me:
" Hakuna matata, pole, pole. Hakuna matata"
-There is not problem, calm, calm. There is not problem-
He was really enjoying the last warm sunrays of a cold winter’s day.
Então ele começou a investigar o ar...
Esta série do Rei solitário lembra-me:
" Hakuna matata, pole, pole. Hakuna matata"
-Não há problema, tranqüilo, tranqüilo. Não há problema-
realmente, ele estava à apreciar os últimos raios de sol morninhos de um dia frio de inverno.

"And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
So don't be afraid to let them show

True colors are beautiful,

It is a former estate garden featuring annuals, roses and wildflowers and an extensive rockery. It is located on Wilket Creek, one of the tributaries of the Don River West Branch. The estate's title was once held by Alexander Milne, a Scottish weaver who settled here after the War of 1812 and left in 1832. The land and the woolen/saw mills was obtained by Rupert E. Edwards in 1944 and created his country home. Edwards home was left in neglect and was purchased by the Municipality of Metro Toronto in 1955 and became Edwards Gardens in 1956.

"Conservation is a state of harmony between men and land." Aldo Leopold.
Dalyan, on the Turkey's Aegean Coast, is a fantastic place to relax in a peaceful setting surrounded by nature. Very close to this town we can find Iztuzu, one of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean. It can be reached by one of the numerous boats that offer tours along the Dalyan River until reaching the beach, or through a road that allows access only from its southern side.
Iztuzu Beach is also known as Turtle Beach, since this coastal strip is home to one of the most important breeding sites for sea turtles in the Mediterranean. In 1988, the beach was named a Protected Area by the Turkish government, and access is prohibited from dusk to dawn to protect the laying of eggs and the birth of small turtles. However, this area could have been very different today without the conservation efforts of June Haimoff and many other environmentalists who saved it in the 1980s. Their work to raise awareness and the launch of an international campaign allowed to stop the construction of a huge German resort in this ecological paradise. Both the curious turtles, which can often be seen near the beach, and the locals and visitors who come here, can still enjoy this natural wonder thanks to all those people who decided to protect this beautiful natural environment.

"La conservación es un estado de armonía entre los hombres y la tierra". Aldo Leopold.
El pueblo de Dalyan, en la Costa del Egeo de Turquía, es un fantástico lugar para relajarse en un entorno tranquilo rodeado de naturaleza. Muy cerca del mismo, se encuentra Iztuzu, una de las playas más bonitas del Mediterráneo. A ella se puede llegar en uno de los numerosos barcos que ofrecen tours por el río de Dalyan hasta llegar a la playa, o a través de una única carretera que permite el acceso por su lado meridional.
Iztuzu Beach, es también conocida como la Playa de la Tortuga, ya que esta franja costera acoge uno de los lugares más importantes de cría de tortugas marinas del Mediterráneo. En el año 1988, la playa fue nombrada Area Protegida por el gobierno de Turquía, y el acceso se prohibe desde el atardecer hasta al amanecer para proteger la puesta de huevos y el nacimiento de las pequeñas tortugas. Sin embargo, esta zona podría haber sido hoy muy diferente sin los esfuerzos de conservación de June Haimoff y de otros muchos ambientalistas que la salvaron en la década de los 80. Su trabajo de concienciación y el lanzamiento de una campaña internacional, permitieron parar la construcción de un enorme resort alemán en este paraíso ecológico. Tanto las curiosas tortugas, que pueden verse a menudo cerca de la playa, como los locales y los visitantes que aquí llegan, pueden todavía disfrutar de esta maravilla natural gracias a todas aquellas personas que decidieron proteger este precioso entorno natural.
