i really love this photo because of its,
two-tone reflection on the surface of the lake♥
or: "How to ruin a nice photo, by leaving the tip of the dragonfly's tail outside the frame"!
Drats! How did I miss this??? Unforgivable!!! The bad thing is that it's not a common species around here, it's only the second time I spotted one in 4 years (here is the other one) and I managed to make a mess of all my captures that day...
This is a Violet Dropwing (Trithemis annulata) male.
Dranesville Tavern was built in 1823. In 1865, the Alexandria Gazette described Dranesville Tavern as "one of the finest roadside inns in the State of Virginia." That tradition of excellence and hospitality continues today at this beautifully restored National Historic Landmark.

I think kids by their very innocent nature will play with fire when first getting hold of matches. Call it excitement with sparks. Must be the same with me when tinkering with the camera. So here's me playing with the shutter and overblowing the light. Now let's see if I will overgrow the habit...

No place for error!!Jelly legs garantyThe Cobbler walk (Ben Arthur walk) climb from arrochar 5.5 miles ..2900 feetThe Cobbler, or Ben Arthur to use the correct name is just short of a Munro but is still one of Scotland's most spectacular mountains due to the unusual skyline and fabulous views. The Cobbler is one of a group of mountains known as 'The Arrochar Alps' and was the happy hunting ground of many of Scotland's early climbers and climbing clubs.
This is that gate ("torii") that appears so often on any publicity material about Japan. And no wonder, it is an impressive thing to behold. It sits in the sea just off the shore of Miyajima island near Hiroshima. It was built as the main approach to Itsukushima shrine.
At ebb tide it stands free of water and you can walk right up to it. At high tide, tourist boats sail underneath it.
Montserrat, Barcelona (Spain).
ENGLISH
The mountain of Montserrat is a massif that towers over the right bank of the Llobregat River. This massif is one of the highest and rockiest sections in the Prelitoral Catalana mountain chain. The Monastery of Montserrat perches 725 metres above sea level, whilst, at an altitude of 1,236 metres, Sant Jeroni is the highest point in the massif.
Soaring up abruptly from the Llobregat River, these mountains appear higher than they really are. Nor are there any other mountains nearby that can compete with Montserrat in terms of altitude, so that the massif stands out even more in its solitary splendour.
The mountain is around 10 kilometres long and 5 wide, with a perimeter of some 25 kilometres. All in all, Montserrat covers an area of 45 square kilometres.
The silhouette of the massif calls to mind the toothed blade of a saw, and this explains its name, for Montserrat means “serrated or saw-toothed mountain”.

CASTELLANO
La montaña de Montserrat, situada a la derecha del río Llobregat, es uno de los conjuntos más altos y abruptos de la Sierra Prelitoral Catalana. El monasterio está situado a 725 m de altura sobre el nivel del mar, y San Jerónimo, a 1.236 m, es la cima más alta.
El conjunto de la montaña parece más alto porque se levanta bruscamente desde el río Llobregat hasta la cima. Tampoco hay ninguna montaña próxima que pueda competir en altura, de manera que queda aislada en este sector.
Mide unos diez kilómetros de longitud y unos cinco de ancho, con un perímetro de unos 25 kilómetros. La montaña, en su conjunto, tiene 45 kilómetros cuadrados de superficie.
Su silueta recuerda la hoja dentada de una sierra. Esto explica su nombre: Montserrat quiere decir ‘montaña serrada’.

*History: This town was founded in 1284 by the English King, Edward I, who was also had the title of Duke of Aquitaine. It is an example of an almost completely preserved bastides, which were fortified towns, built in the areas disputed by England and France in the 12th century. This attractive and peaceful village has a turbulent and violent history at the hands of various protagonists.
*Histoire: Monpazier est sans nul doute la bastide anglaise la mieux conservée du périgord par sa place à arcades, ses ruelles, ses maisons, ses églises et les vestiges de ses fortifications.
La ville forme un quadrilatère de 400 mètres sur 220 mètres dont le grand axe est orienté du Sud vers le nord. Toutes les maisons sont d'égales dimensions et sont séparées par d'étroits intervalles (andrones) prévus pour limiter la propagation des incendies.
Cette bastide fut fondée le 7 janvier 1284 par Edouard 1er, roi d'angleterre et duc d'angleterre sur des terrains cédés par le baron Pierre de Gontaut Biron. Ses habitants bénéficiaient de nombreux avantages comme l'exemption d'impôt et l'abolition du droit seigneurial.
Pendant la guerre de cent ans, Monpazier changea plusieurs fois de main. En 1637 une révolte de 8000 croquant naquit à Monpazier.

From high atop the Northernmost part of the Alabama Hills, I froze my butt off taking this hour-long time exposure. It was Winter and it was a very long time up there, This was done with Kodachrome 64 and the exposure was long enough to see the Valley and the mountains illuminated. Best if Big.
Bro suggested I take his mountain bike and trek out of the campground to get a better vantage point for shooting Mt. Fuji at sunset.
This is the result of his recommendation.

Excerpt from "Ancient Words" by Tiny Malone
"The wind, the light...all sound was still that night as we returned to our home. The bright moon cast rays of blue light on the place I used to live. The stains of blood were still there. The bones of my ancestors had been desecrated. After this long journey, we sat in silence, contemplating if we should have even returned. The stench of rot and death permeated the great walls of our land. We lived in peace. We hunted here. Raised crops here. Made love and raised our children here. Then someone decided we had to die."

Test shot with the new Polaroid SX-70 I've got from eBay, rather a clever little Polaroid, it's surprisingly small too, I rather like how easy it is to focus and how it look through the viewfinder, much better than looking through my Lubitel 166B viewfinder (quick note - i didn't like having the border on the Polaroid so I decided to just crop to the picture itself, nice and clean).
I managed to modified the 600 films into the SX-70, removing the ND filter on the sensor and set the camera to the darkest setting on the sensor, picture still came out slightly overexposed but not so much.
Who need Photoshop?
Edited - I've notice due to Polaroid announced that they won't be doing instant film anymore, this lead to an increase number of people searching "Polaroid" on Flickr, and since this polaroid came first out of the list of search, I take this chance to show you the Save Polaroid site;
"This site will document the aftermath of this announcement and will serve as a home-base for the effort to convince another company to begin producing the cherished technology that Polaroid has so carelessly abandoned, this is not about saving Polaroid, the company, rather the remarkable invention of Edwin Land, the instant film that made Polaroid a household name."
A fire destroyed the office/clubhouse of a mobile home park located adjacent to the Lakeside Golf Course on North Coliseum Blvd. late this afternoon. There were no injuries. The building was vacant and was going to be torn down.
The site will become the site of the new Red Carrington Field for amatuer baseball in Fort Wayne. The current Carrington Field on the north side of Coliseum Boulevard on the west side of the St. Joseph River is being displaced by construction of the new hotel being built in conjunction with IPFW and the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum.

Yerterday in the morning I saw this beauty of flower in my garden, and I thought that my family nor me did not have to be the only ones in being able to enjoy its view. It is for that reason that I shoot several photos. All you see here is natural, without post-processing. The water drops are because the rosebush was watered some minutes before.
And I give this rose to all my female friends of Flickr because today is the day of Sant Jordi. The bright, sunny color of yellow roses evokes a feeling of warmth and happiness. The warm feelings associated with the yellow rose are often akin to those shared with a true friend. As such, the yellow rose is an ideal symbol for joy and friendship.
La Diada de Sant Jordi, also known as el dia de la rosa (The Day of the Rose) or el dia del llibre (The Day of the Book) is a Catalan holiday celebrated on April 23 similar to Valentine's Day with some unique twists that show the ancient practice of this day. The main event is the exchange of gifts between sweethearts, loved ones and respected ones--historically, men gave their girlfriends and wives roses, and women gave their boyfriends and husbands a book to celebrate the occasion. In modern times, the mutual exchange of books is customary. Roses have been associated with this day since medieval times, but the giving of books is a more recent marketing ploy. In 1923, a smart bookseller started to promote the holiday as a way to honour the nearly simultaneous deaths of Miguel Cervantes and William Shakespeare on April 23, 1616. Barcelona is the publishing capital in both Catalan and Spanish and this heady one-two punch of love and literacy was quickly adopted.
On Barcelona's principal street, La Rambla, and all over the city, hundreds of stands of roses and makeshift bookstalls are hastily set up for the occasion. By the end of the day, some four million roses and 400,000 books will have been purchased in the name of love. You will be hard-pressed to find a woman without a rose in hand, and half of the total yearly book sales in Catalonia take place on this occasion.
And while La Diada de Sant Jordi is not an "official" holiday, most romantics ditch the office to stroll the beautiful streets of Barcelona and to take in the sultry springtime weather. Love is definitely in the air, but even if you don't have a novio to smooch on a park bench there are still plenty of things to see and do.
For example, the sardana, the national dance of Catalonia, will be performed throughout the day in the Plaça Sant Jaume. And many book stores and cafes host readings by noted authors (look out for 24-hour marathon readings of Cervantes' "Don Quixote"). And there will be a variety of street performers and musicians on hand to add a romantic ambience to nearly every public square and plaza.
Additionally, April 23rd is the only day of the year when the Palau de la Generalitat, Barcelona's principal government building, is open to the public. Inside this Gothic architectural masterpiece you'll see huge displays of roses created to honour Saint George.
