Un señor de los pies a la cabeza: COJONUDO, como él me llama.
Gracias por todo. Y así me responde él: es que es COJONUDO, poeta, filósofo...
"Mi gratitud está por encima del compromiso porque me siento orgulloso de haber llegado al interlocutor, de haber intuido correctamente algo que no sabía, aunque sea un triste acontecimiento, porque tu obra me ha hablado de tí y la he entendido.
Cuando he visto un sol, cual estrella brillante al alba, que ilumina la noche aún de paseo por el valle, por el valle en silencio, con praderas de niebla donde pastan los pegasos, mientras los caballos se han quedado con los pies en la ladera porque han perdido sus alas. Miro al horizonte de cálidos colores que se une, sin ungüento alguno, con la bóveda celeste, de azules y vida a otro nivel, a otra altura donde la paz reina y los moradores en ella descansan. Un abrazo amigo, tan fuerte como lo resistas"

I always enjoy trying to catch the light trails from the London buses at night...this one is in St Pauls, London.
St Paul's Cathedral is the Anglican cathedral on Ludgate Hill, in the City of London, and the seat of the Bishop of London. The present building dates from the 17th century and is generally reckoned to be London's fifth St Paul's Cathedral, although the number is higher if every major medieval reconstruction is counted as a new cathedral. The cathedral sits on the edge of London's oldest region, the City, which originated as a Roman trading post along the edge of the River Thames. The cathedral is one of London's most visited sites.
The nearest London Underground station is St. Paul's.

This is an unusual angle on the South Wing of the Banff Springs Hotel, the "Castle of the Rockies". This wing houses the beautiful Mount Stephen Hall. See my vertorama below for an interior shot.
Explored Front Page (my first) - Jan. 15, 2009 - Thank you all so very much!
Special thanks to Sue (gr8fl89) for the screen shot! Sorry Lynne, I know you were trying but that Sue is quick! :-)

One of the best sunsets I've seen around here for a while!
It's hard to tell in this small size that the dark "cloud" over the horizon is actually a fog bank or more accurately a marine layer hovering over the water. I wish I could have gotten closer to water here but all access points are on private property and these locals (mostly fishermen) have shotguns! :-)

EDIT:Finally got a chance to add more info and my other crap! :-)
What:
The day after our last snow storm.
It was so friggin' windy that the snow blew off the tops of the trees except where they were down in this hollow!
Where:
Terence Bay
Nova Scotia, Canada
(I added it to the map in case you want to find it)
When:
Sunset @ around 5pm
About:
This is the first HDR I've done in a little while. I wanted to try to capture all the great colors in the sky as well as the depth of that fog hovering over the water on the horizon.

Marktplatz der kleinen historischen Stadt / marketplace from the small historical city in Germany
Persepolis (Takht-e Jamshid - Throne of Jamshid; or Chehel Minar) was the ceremonial capital of the Persian Empire during the Achaemenid dynasty. Persepolis is situated 70 km northeast of the modern city of Shiraz in the Fars Province of modern Iran. Archaeological evidence shows that the earliest remains of Persepolis date from around 515 BC.
Explored! Highest Position: #15
We're staying in Bruges.
Here's a wider view of my previous photograph here.
The water was so calm through the canals that morning, it was breathtaking. Much different from when the city wakes up, as this is one of the busiest sections of town, the Rozenhoedkaai. It was quite difficult to expose this photo, but I think it turned out alright.
I hope you enjoy and as always thanks for the view, faves and comments are always appreciated! :D

Sometimes photography is just about being at the right place at the right time. I didn't plan to take this picture at all. I was just driving home after I already took some pictures, when the sky suddenly turned pink. I stopped the car immediately, got out and took a couple of shots. I was just in time, because 2 minutes later the pink sky was completely gone. I already posted a similar shot a few days ago but I thought this sunset was so beautiful it deserved another exposure. Besides that, the colors are very Flickr-ish.
What I like most on this photo isn't the colors but the people on the foreground. If you look closely they are communicating with each other, they are not skating.
Note: these are the real colors as spotted that day, no PS enhancements needed. Well, only a few basic corrections.

He has his eye on me most of the time. Border Collies like to stare, and Barney is no exception, I think this is why is good at having his photo taken, many dogs are worried by the lens (apparently they think its a hard stare from the alpha!) but Barney is happy to look straight back at you, its not a challenge, he's just not afraid of eye contact, in fact he likes it!
I took this shot this morning, we were playing on the field, its cropped a lot but for some reason I seem to like it, anyway I kept coming back to look at it, so thought I'd put it up!

Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands. The name is a derivative from Amstel dam pointing to the city's origin: a dam in the river Amstel. The city is known for its historic port, the Rijksmuseum, the red-light district (de Wallen), the liberal coffeeshops, and the canals which have led to Amsterdam being termed the "Venice of the North". The Westerkerk ("western church") is a Protestant church in Amsterdam, built in 1620-1631 after a design by Hendrick de Keyser. The church is right next to Amsterdam's Jordaan district, at the bank of the Prinsengracht canal.
Here's a view of the Westertoren in the winter -5 ºC december 2008, Jordaan - Amsterdam
De belangrijkste toeristische trekpleisters van Nederland zijn in Amsterdam te vinden. Zo was in 2006 een tocht per rondvaartboot door de Amsterdamse grachtengordel met 3,1 miljoen bezoekers de meest bezochte attractie van Nederland (de Efteling was de tweede met 3,0 miljoen), het Van Gogh Museum is met 1,7 miljoen derde op deze lijst. Ook het Rijksmuseum en het Anne Frankhuis behoren tot de drukstbezochte attracties. Onder de toeristen zijn voorts de vele andere musea, de coffeeshops, de restaurants en de raamprostitutie op de Wallen ('Red Light District') populair. De Westerkerk behoort tot de Protestantse Kerk in Amsterdam en staat aan de Prinsengracht, aan de rand van de Jordaan. Voor de kerk aan de linkerkant bevindt zich het het Anne Frankhuis.

The edges of the wide angle Sigma create a mechanical vignette when pushed. It is an engineering defect and/or benefit. Cropped a bit up and to the right to allow for the light at the bottom left to provide an exit path.
Many people already made that kind of shot, but I think I'm the first one who did that with a red savina habanero!
Happy 2009 to you! :)

-ben franklin blues-
it was a cloudy and gloomy day all day and i was so bored so we decided to stop by at camden, nj. one hour into sunset and lo and behold, the sun started peeping out so we got clear skies, some fog, calm waters, and no haze - essentially the perfect conditions. little did we know that the ben franklin bridge was also quietly celebrating christmas with her own beautiful lights!
happy new year to all of you my flickr friends! :)

Thank you for 1000 views! In less than a week (well 5 hours under a full week), my photostream has received its first 1000 views! I am amazed by this because my photos are not even showing in flickr searches yet. I know that it is only by the continued care of my flickr friends and the wonderful interest of my new flickr contacts that 1000 views during opening week is possible.
Thank you all!
About this photo:
In honor of receiving 1000 photostream views, I am uploading this old (outdated) photo. This image is my very first HDR. I have not reprocessed this photo since the first time (circa 2006); I am leaving it in this form as a sort of memorial.
If I remember correctly, this HDR is made of 3 exposures. I used Photomatix to process the image and set the strength at 75 and the saturation around 60. The luminosity was set at -5. These were the settings I used for a very long time, before I learned more about adjusting the shadows and highlights in HDR images.
Although I wince to say it, this photo was taken with a 2.0 megapixel camera. At the time, I was taking photos for my own use in graphic design and web development. Now, I have more experience with HDR and better cameras, but--call it nostalgia if you want--I still like this photo.
About the Location:
This lighthouse is the crowning jewel of the harbor of Chania. Restored in 2006, the lighthouse marks the entrance to the sheltered harbor and marina. The town of Chania is located in Northwestern Crete and is a town of a rich and varied history. The harbor town boasts architecture from modern Greece, Venetian architecture, Turkish buildings and even some old ruins. Recently, a Minoan settlement has been uncovered not far from the harbor.
Don't forget to look at the other photo I uploaded today. Thanks!

"...Pra mim - que ouvi na missões,

do 'Negro do Pastoreio'
cruzando pelos rincões,
das lendas de assombrações,
e cobras queimando luz,
foste - Menino Jesus,
o meu sinuelo de fé,
juntando ao Índio Sepé,
O Nazareno da Cruz..."

This is a scenic of night city of Kuala Lumpur after rain.
This photo was taken from the hotel room where I have stay.
Appear the background of Petronas towers surrounded by the beautiful lights in the bokeh...
This is a pleasant place to rest and relax.
Good Night KL.
Continuing the bokeh series..
I once read remember reading on someone's Rohit's profile(couldn't recall whose it is, please pardon me) that "Flickr is the next best thing happened to photography after Canon". I don't know about Canon(You can figure out why ;-)) but Flickr is the best thing happened to my photography!.
Thank you all for stopping by and appreciating the bokeh series. I am really glad most of you liked them..
