I'm back from a week without communication with the outside world (no internet, no tv, no telephone) :)
No serious photoshopping applied here - it basically looked like this when it came out of my cam
This is little me, on my little adventure.
Thank you, world. I must have good karma, or something, because my trip is just constantly brimming with glorious happiness. Blogged!
Closer to the sky, closer, way up high, closer to the sky
Mais perto do céu, mais perto do céu
Como uma força, como uma força
Como uma força que ninguém pode parar
Como uma força, como uma força
Como uma fome que ninguém pode matar...

Valeu Juliano Pavan, por postar essa foto. Através dela que eu tive interesse de ir conhecer esse muro. (junto com o Talles)
Taken while standing in the middle of the vastness that is the West-Vigne Glacier (altitude 5000 meters plus) and looking North. That was the British expedition making its way South towards Ali Camp and Gondogoro La.
Broadpeak - called so for it's 1.5 kilometer wide summit - was initially labeled K3. It is the 4th highest peak in Pakistan and the 12th highest in the world. Yup, we got some serious mountains over here.

Erice - Scenary from the cathedral
From Porta Trapani, one of the entrance to the city, it gets to via Vito Carvini and so to the Cathedral Church.
In front of it, an imposing bell-tower rises with two orders of gothic mullioned windows and it is crowned by merlons.
It supposes that the bell-tower originary has been built as a vedetta tower by Federico from Aragon in 1312 and only later it has been used as a bell-tower.

Cattle stop signs are a familiar sign on many of the NZ back roads, and are known as Cattle grids or guards in places other than New Zealand.
Note the bullet holes in the top part of the sign :-)

22 de Abril dia Mundial de la Tierra
El bióxido de carbono y otros contaminantes del aire se acumulan en la atmósfera formando una capa cada vez más gruesa, atrapando el calor del sol y causando el calentamiento del planeta. La principal fuente de contaminación por la emisión de bióxido de carbono son las plantas de generación de energía a base de carbón, pues emiten 2,500 millones de toneladas al año. La segunda causa principal, son los automóviles, emiten casi 1,500 millones de toneladas de CO2 al año.
Sí. Aunque las temperaturas locales fluctúan de manera natural, en los últimos 50 años los registros demuestran que la temperatura mundial promedio ha aumentado al ritmo más rápido de la historia. Además, los expertos piensan que esta tendencia se está acelerando: los tres años más calurosos que se han registrado ocurrieron a partir de 1998. Los científicos dicen que si no se revierten las emisiones que causan el calentamiento global, a finales del siglo las temperaturas promedio podrían aumentar de 3 a 9 grados.

LA QUIETE DOPO LA TEMPESTA -
Passata è la tempesta:
Odo augelli far festa, e la gallina,
Tornata in su la via,
Che ripete il suo verso. Ecco il sereno
Rompe là da ponente, alla montagna;
Sgombrasi la campagna,
E chiaro nella valle il fiume appare.
Ogni cor si rallegra, in ogni lato
Risorge il romorio
Torna il lavoro usato.
L'artigiano a mirar l'umido cielo,
Con l'opra in man, cantando,
Fassi in su l'uscio; a prova
Vien fuor la femminetta a còr dell'acqua
Della novella piova;
E l'erbaiuol rinnova
Di sentiero in sentiero
Il grido giornaliero.
Ecco il Sol che ritorna, ecco sorride
Per li poggi e le ville. Apre i balconi,
Apre terrazzi e logge la famiglia:
E, dalla via corrente, odi lontano
Tintinnio di sonagli; il carro stride
Del passegger che il suo cammin ripiglia.
.................
(Di Giacomo Leopardi)

Luna (Moon in English) is a beautiful and elegant cat that I can see sometimes when I visit to my parents. She doesnt have an owner and she like to chase after pidgeons. Although it is just a game (because some neighbors give her some food every day) I always think she is a little hunter.

My personal favorite shot of the whole trip is this one, only because the sky at sunset had this beautiful orange glow as we drove through rows upon rows of Green Tea shrubs growing on the high plains of Shizuoka prefecture.
Pulled the camping car along side the road to get this 5xp freehand HDR shot taken in the afternoon on the second day of our 4-day camping car weekend.
Shizuoka prefecture, Japan.
Have a successful day dear friends :-)
(a shot of the typical Haussmannian architecture taken from the Eiffel tower - just played here with selective colours)

The Amazon rainforest (Brazilian Portuguese: Floresta Amazônica or Amazônia; Spanish: Selva Amazónica or Amazonia), also known as Amazonia, or the Amazon jungle, is a moist broadleaf forest that covers most of the Amazon Basin of South America. This basin encompasses seven million square kilometers (1.7 billion acres), of which five and a half million square kilometers (1.4 billion acres) are covered by the rainforest. This region includes territory belonging to nine nations. The majority of the forest is contained within Brazil, with 60% of the rainforest, followed by Peru with 13%, and with minor amounts in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana. States or departments in four nations bear the name Amazonas after it. The Amazon represents over half of the planet's remaining rainforests, and it comprises the largest and most species-rich tract of tropical rainforest in the world.
The Amazon rainforest was short-listed in 2008 as a candidate to one of the New7Wonders of Nature by the New Seven Wonders of the World Foundation. As of February 2009 the Amazon was ranking first in Group E, the category for forests, national parks and nature reserves.[1]
# There were an estimated ten million Indians living in the Amazonian Rainforest five centuries ago. Today there are less than 200,000.
# In Brazil alone, European colonists have destroyed more than 90 indigenous tribes since the 1900’s. With them have gone centuries of accumulated knowledge of the medicinal value of rainforest species. As their homelands continue to be destroyed by deforestation, rainforest peoples are also disappearing.
# Most medicine men and shamans remaining in the Rainforests today are 70 years old or more. Each time a rainforest medicine man dies, it is as if a library has burned down.
# When a medicine man dies without passing his arts on to the next generation, the tribe and the world loses thousands of years of irreplaceable knowledge about medicinal plants.

See the clouds adrift so far below
Ever changing as they come and go;
Makes me wonder why I'm up so high
When really I am down so low
Of all the wonders I was one allowed
I think that I would always choose a cloud,
Always bring my feelings right out loud,
Whether I'm ashamed or proud.
And on this airplane coming home to you,
Sometimes I think I've flown my whole life through,
My whole life through,
As I wing my way to you.
See the clouds, they're giving life below
In colors that the canvas cannot show;
Keeping secrets no one else could know,
For I'm the one who told them so.
Now and then I get up close to you,
Like to stay, but I'm just passing through,
So I'll have to say goodbye,
Until next time I fly.
Bread.....
