Been a while since i've posted any B&W work, this is from a recent trip to the 'deep south' of the island and was inspired by the dark and twisted creations of my friend Chris over at chemical gdns who likes to call that place home

Under the trees made of supple wood,
When it is neither day nor night,
I will wait for you at the murky meadow
Beneath the midnight moon drained of light.
As I walk, I stand and observe,
Pretending that you are there..
Saturated in the crimson hue
Breathing the misty meadow air.

November pink rose from our frontyard to you, my Flickrs friends!
Thanks for all your support, my dear friends!
Спасибо за поддержку, мои дорогие друзья!
I made a promise last July that I would upload another picture of this mind-twisting stairwell (seen in Charlestown, MA). Here I am four months later proving that I'm a man of my word. This flattened perspective sparked an interest in urban abstracts this past summer... it still tops the list as one of my favorites from Boston. A huge thanks to Irisa for the crop suggestion!

Everyone survived this shipwreck during a storm in the 1960's at Carraig na Finise.
You may have seen this ship before, especially if you are Irish. You can see it

Maison Kammerzell, a medieval civil housing building in late Gothic architecture in an area formerly belonging to the Holy Roman Empire.
Located in the heart of Harlem, there is no finer restaurant than Sylvia's. It is known for the famous and not so famous folks that believe the soul food offered here is second to none. We had heard of this place so a group of us stopped in for lunch. I had the ribs, they were to die for and I will surely taste them again on the next trip to NY

I captured this amazing moment when the Sun was painting the London Centre Point in Gold...
=========================================================================
Centre Point is a substantial concrete and glass office building in central London, England, occupying 101-103 New Oxford Street, WC1, close to St Giles' Circus and almost directly above Tottenham Court Road tube station. The site was once occupied by a gallows.[1] The building was designed by Richard Seifert with engineers Pell Frischmann and was constructed by Wimpey Construction from 1963 to 1966. It is 117 m (385 ft) high, has 32 floors and 27,180 m2 (292,563 sq ft) of floor space and is the joint 27th tallest building in London. It was one of the first skyscrapers in London. It is a grade II listed building.

"... Toda distância
se perde aos poucos
rumando à estrada...
Léguas
e a gateada, ao tranco,
parece que voa,
sabe o rumo,
falta um eito,
me aperta o peito
uma lembrança dela
que andava à toa..."

Wound through narrow lanes and small villages, after a hike down a canyon, we were rewarded with this beautiful site. There are three water falls in Gitgit Village which are offering the amazing panorama and geographically: "Gigit waterfall" is the biggest one, further upstream there is another one called "Gitgit Cascade" and this is the smallest one called "Twin Gitgit". Beautiful waterfalls from height hill which is encircled by fertile rain forest plantation and emerald pool. Twin Gigit waterfalls situated in the jungle of forest, fresh atmosphere with beautiful panorama presenting on the way to this waterfall. It produce the clear water with some time the local children play around and having bath. It is located in Gitgit countryside, Singaraja regency, North of Bali.

This is the top of my uncle's 1986 Camaro, it had just rained and then the sun came out, but there were stlil drops of rain left on the roof. I figured I would take advantage of some nice bokeh with the new lens! The bokeh is the other drops of water on the car, it looked so cool!
Thanks for the comments, they are much appreciated!

From my window at 2pm... It is Sicily, not Japan..
To the ancient Greeks, Mount Etna was the realm of Vulcan, god of fire, and the home of the one-eyed monster known as the Cyclops. At approximately 3350 meters, it is Europe's highest active volcano. The Mount Etna height of its summit changes with each eruption, and over the centuries a few lava flows have reached the coast. Over 1200 square meters of Etna's surface is covered with solidified lava.

Stuff about the Cleaven Dyke...
Cursus monuments. The largest in Scotland is the Cleaven Dyke, Perthshire. This is an unusual cross between a bank barrow and a cursus, with a 9m wide bank running midway between two ditches, which are 50m apart. The Dyke runs for over 2km, and was constructed in the late 5th or early 4th millenium cal BC. It is considered to represent some 60-80,000 hours of labour. The Dyke itself however is unlikley to have been constructed in one go.
At the NW end it appears that an oval burial mound was built first. This was partly covered by a long barrow and this in turn had the Dyke added to its SE end. The Dyke is not even in its construction, and has about 34 segments. This may indicate that it was constructed over some period of time. One of the excavators of the Dyke, comments that 'the apparent large scale of the effort necessary to construct the Cleaven Dyke may be an illusion; it and other cursus monuments may have been built over a long time period in relatively short segments... In some societies coming together over a long period to repeat some ritual activity (in this case the construction of a segment of the Dyke) may be more important than the monument eventually produced by many year's labour').

The Parc National des Pyrénées is a national park located within the French départements of Hautes-Pyrénées and here above the Pyrénées-Atlantiques. Located along the border of France and Spain is a scenic and mountainous landscape offering a variety of outdoor activities including hiking, skiing, mountain climbing and observing wildlife. According to the Pyrénées National Park website, the park, created in 1967, is a natural heritage without barriers or fences where animals are totally free. Devoted to preserving biodiversity and landscapes, studying wildlife and plant species, the park is home to 70 different species of animals. Animals like: ermine, stoat, bear, desman, pine marten, wild boar, fox, lammergaier or bearded vulture etc. Only the bear's situation is worrying, their numbers have been steadily declining for the last 30 years only 6 individuals left today. The eastern portion of the national park forms part of the French section of the Pyrénées - Mont Perdu World Heritage Site that straddles the border between France and Spain. The oceanic influence gives the French, Northern slopes a mild and humid climate while the Southern winds give the Spanish slopes an arid look.
Photo taken at the Parc National des Pyrénées - Mountain Range of Atlantiques, France. We were high up in the Pyrenees at the mountain stream Gave de Bious above at elevation of 1241 meter. A location 3 km from the mountain pass Portalet d'Aneu and border crossing in the Pyrenees, between France and Spain.
Parc national des Pyrénées is een nationaal park in de Franse departementen Hautes-Pyrénées en hierboven de Pyrénées-Atlantiques. Dit berg- en schilderachtige landschap bevindt zich op de Frans-Spaanse grens en biedt een heel scala aan buitenactiviteiten zoals wandelen, skiën, bergbeklimmen en het bestuderen van de fauna. Volgens de website van het nationaal park Pyrénées is het park, opgericht in 1967, een natuurlijk leefgebied zonder belemmeringen en hekken voor dieren zodat ze kunnen gaan en staan waar ze maar willen. Door de toewijding om biodiversiteit en landschappen te behouden alsook het bestuderen van wilde dieren en verschillende soorten planten is het park het thuis voor 70 verschillende soorten dieren. In de Pyreneeën komen nog bruine beren voor maar flink afgenomen de laatste 30 jaar. Volgens de laatste gegevens zijn er nog maar 6 over, meestal op de rand van het hoogste punt. Dit gebied deelt de bruine beer met marmotten, Pyreneese antilopen, sneeuwpatrijzen en watermollen. De watermol wordt ook wel de Pyreneese Desman genoemd en is een nachtdier met zwemvliezen en een spitse snuit. Het is één van de zeldzame diersoorten die alleen in Frankrijk voor komen. Op hogere hoogte leven ook de gems en de steenbok. Naast de vale en de Egyptische gier is de Pyreneeën ook de woonplaats van Europees grootste gier; de lammergier. Deze roofvogel heeft een vleugelwijdte tot drie meter. Deze dieren zijn buiten Afrika alleen in de Pyreneeën te zien. Ook kunt u in het park meer dan 1200 soorten flora aanschouwen, daaronder voornamelijk de lis, de valeriaan, de affodil en de Ramunde. Dit is een bijzonder stukje wereld waar u met respect voor de natuur, naar mag kijken. Honderden kilometers gemarkeerde voetpaden komen samen bij vele berghutten waar u, tijdens uw bergwandelingen, zelfs kunt overnachten. Overal in het water van de rivieren, de bergmeren, en de beekjes ziet u bronnen van leven. Er is een informatiecentrum over het Nationale Park aanwezig, om aan het publiek de rijkdommen van de natuur te laten zien en iedereen te overtuigen dat dit alles behouden moet blijven.

After a long 500 mile train ride southeast from Krakow you have all made it to the next destination.
I welcome you all to the small town of Sinaih, Romania a place that will make everyone wish they were there....
Sinaih is a mountain resort town in the Carpathian Mountains of Transylvania along the Peles river. The city is just 44 km from Brasov which is the second biggest city after the capitol Bucharest of course.
This is Peleş Castle which was built between the years 1875-1914 and is in fact Laurie and I's fafourite Castle in Europe. Yes you read that right, this Neo-Renaissance Castle is exquisite, in the perfect sense of the word. The Peles Castle was built with stone, wood and brick and the interior has 170 rooms 30 bathrooms! the cost was estimated to be 16,000,000 gold Romanian lei (approx. $US 120 million today).
The woodwork and collections they have inside are unbelievable. Only the best/most rare and exotic woods, fabrics and marbles where used in the building. For example two different types of woods they used were golden lime-tree and nut tree wood.
If you're a lover of woodwork this is an architectural jem you cannot miss in your life time. I wish I was able to take photos inside, but unfortunately I was not allowed and they even took our cameras. Sadface.
Oh well, at least I saw it with my eyes while my jaw was hitting the floor in every room. Maybe one day you will all visit and explore the castle yourselves.
In the meantime please enjoy these views of the Castle and it's surroundings in the breathtaking Carpathian Mountains of Transylvania....
++++ On this day: November 11th, please join me in remembering all the fallen soldiers. 2 years ago I was standing in The Canadian Cemetery in Bény-sur-Mer in Normandie and I will never forget that moment and the fallen who fought for our freedom. Thank you so much!
Been working days this week so not as much time for Flickr, by Friday I should be caught with everyone streams. Have a great week my peeps! =D +++++

"The Rhône Glacier (German: Rhonegletscher/ Valais German: "Rottengletscher") is a glacier in the Swiss Alps and the source of the river Rhône and one of the primary contributors to Lake Geneva in the far eastern end of the Swiss canton of Valais. Because the Glacier is located close to the Furka Pass road it is easily accessible.
Der Rhonegletscher (selten auch Rottengletscher genannt) ist ein Talgletscher im Quellgebiet der Rhone im äussersten Nordosten des Kantons Wallis in den Zentralalpen der Schweiz. Er ist knapp acht Kilometer lang, weist eine durchschnittliche Breite von ungefähr zwei Kilometer auf und bedeckt eine Fläche von ungefähr 16 km². Der Rhonegletscher war vor allem im 19. und Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts aufgrund seiner damals noch weit ins Tal bei Gletsch hinunter reichenden Zunge eine grosse Touristenattraktion. Er schmilzt seit der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts kontinuierlich. Möglicherweise wird er bis ins Jahr 2100 beinahe vollständig verschwunden sein.
Le glacier du Rhône (Rhonegletscher ou Rottengletscher en allemand) se trouve à l'extrémité nord-est du canton du Valais en Suisse. Il donne naissance au Rhône, en amont de Gletsch, qui s'écoule ensuite dans la vallée de Conches.
Le glacier s'étend sur 8 kilomètres et atteint une largeur d'un peu plus de 1 000 mètres. Sa superficie est de 17 km2. Comme la plupart des glaciers alpins, il a passablement reculé depuis le milieu du xixe siècle. Il est facilement accessible via la route du col de la Furka. Une galerie creusée dans la glace permet de visiter l'intérieur du glacier."

and there she sat in all her glory, looking ahead and in wonder, will i ever be like her, oh my vintage rose xxx
The quote by Emily Dickinson made sense to me first time when I saw sunrise like this ! this shot is SOOC .
This location is a classic example of how a single location can be used for different kind of sunrise shots.. All 3 days I stayed at Udaipur i woke up to catch the sunrise and boy oh boy each day it was a exercise to come up with new idea to shoot, And it was not that difficult with nature doing its thing.. And on 3rd day i was shocked when i saw this sight which .... surprisingly i never noticed in past 2 days of shoot I never looked down at the city , was always stuck with the sun the cloud the birds and mountain.
But on 3rd day i look down at city and i see this sight of layers unfolding with the sunrise. and for a while I just lost all sense of time and place .. and just stood there going WOW OMG WOW !!

Tip: Never ever miss sunrise or sunset in Udaipur its one of the best location to shoot them.
Light, especially sunlight, has such a potent effect on your body's internal clock, or circadian rhythms, that you can use it to reset your sleep cycle, says Phyllis C. Zee, MD, PhD, director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Northwestern University.
"If you tend to be a night owl who can't get to sleep until 1 a.m., you may have delayed circadian rhythms. To shift to an earlier schedule -- and make it easier to get to bed and get up on time -- soak up as much sunlight as possible between 6 and 8 a.m." Force yourself to wake up early and sit in a sunny room or take a post-sunrise walk. When it's warm, try eating breakfast outdoors. Basking in early-morning rays prompts your body to suppress production of melatonin -- the sleep hormone -- during the day and release it earlier in the evening, so falling asleep isn't such a struggle.
Well I guess I start doing it :) coz frankly when I am out of city I always wake up early to catch sunrise but when I return to city :P I become a owl again :( :P I guess tr is many owl friends out tr isn't !
This was another SOOC shot pretty much the wow-est moment of sunrise, I do have lot of other shots which I tried planning and shooting will post them one at a time every morning :)
Its magical how even the boring mobile towers also merge with the landscape which looks as if taken from a Arabian Nights series, the old and new coexist and morning painter manages to paint it in such a way that you don't realize the difference and just get immersed in the morning glow :)
Good morning, Have a great Week ahead friends :)

Refresh yourself at the Landes National Park Region a peaceful and natural retreat. The Landes are a flat sandy low land area at the southwest corner of Aquitaine region featuring the largest European pine forest. An area of over 300 sq km - the park is somewhere to spread your wings and to get back in touch with nature. This hidden garden is the privileged territory to approach the soul of Aquitaine - France. Visitors here invariably leave with a renewed sense of peace and vitality. For active days there are lakes for boating, swimming, picnic or just observing the wildlife, and several centers for horse-riding, canoing and cycle trails. The Landes forest, also known as the moors of Gascony.
Photo taken at the Landes National Park Region of South Western of France. A misty morning at the largest European pine forest. A lovely Autumn forest with lush brown colored ferns, a majority of them grow in shade. New growth is sometimes reddish or purple, but turns green with age, yellow in autumn, and brown in winter.
Het bos van les Landes is het grootste aaneengesloten bosgebied van Europa. Het is gelegen in het zuidwesten van Frankrijk. In de 19e eeuw werd dit aangeplant en het is nu het beschermde Regionale Natuurpark van de Landes de Gascogne en strekt zich uit van het Bassin d’Arcachon tot diep in de Gers. Tot in de 19e eeuw was het gebied bijzonder dunbevolkt en begroeid met struikgewas. Het bos werd dan ook aangelegd in een poging de plaatselijke economie nieuw leven in te blazen. Hout en papier zijn de voornaamste producten van de lokale economie. Vroeger werd er ook veel hars gewonnen, maar dit product is grotendeels door kunstharsen van de markt verdrongen. Aquitaine is een regio in Frankrijk die populair is bij de Nederlandse vakantiegangers. En dat is niet zo verwonderlijk want het gebied heeft ontzettend veel te bieden. Bergen, rivieren, mooie steden, charmante dorpjes en een prachtig kustgebied vormen Aquitaine tot een heerlijke streek met veel afwisseling en voor elk wat wils.
