“O queixo atado, a velha doma gaúcha
'son cosas brujas’ qual ponteio de guitarra,
o tempo se vai, um costeio mais
no bagual que sai e esbarra,
outra sova e já se tem pingo pras garras...”
Trecho de “Doma gaúcha”, de Anomar Danúbio Vieira
Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil
Way up near the top of the canyon there's a broad meadow. This area clearly gets more moisture than the rest of the canyon, there are grasses and trees. There's also a tremendous view across the Tularosa Basin. That's White Sands National Monument in the distance.
My best capture of snow, but really my preferred!! 2 tracks, one friend, warped sun, white everywhere!! I love this shot, I think I'm going to enlarge it and frame it on my house wall!!

Según la Wikipedia, "Reñaca es un balneario de 1,3 km de extensión en Viña del Mar, Chile. Está ubicado en la desembocadura del estero del mismo nombre. Este balneario del Litoral Central es conocido por ser un importante centro de una animada vida nocturna, en particular durante el verano. Cuenta con una excelente infraestructura hotelera y turística."
Particularmente prefiero Viña, pero he de reconocer que sus playas son espectaculares.
According to Wikipedia, "Reñaca is a resort of 1,3 km from extension in Viña del Mar, Chile. Located in same name tideland river mouth, this resort is known for being an important animated night life center, mainly on summer. It owns an excellent hotel and tourist infrastructure."
In my opinion, I don't enjoy much that night life and I prefer Viña del Mar but I must admit that its beaches are spectacular.
Horsetail Falls in the Columbia River Gorge during the recent cold snap. This gorge always transforms in the most amazing ways during such weather and I was afraid we were going to miss the opportunity this year as it takes about three good days of sub-30 degree weather to pull this off. Lo and behold things froze up last week, probably for the only time until next Winter. It also corresponded quite nicely with my one day off that week, so in spite of the dozen other things I needed to get done, we drove out to the Gorge for a few hours to bask in the icy wonderland. I had just received a pair of Yaktrax for Christmas, so with those strapped on these icy rocks were much easier to navigate.

...but I believe in it...
"Tanto tempo fa, nel Regno Sotterraneo, dove la bugia e il dolore non hanno significato, viveva una Principessa che sognava il Mondo degli Umani, sognava il cielo azzurro, la brezza lieve e la lucentezza del sole. Un giorno, traendo in inganno i suoi guardiani, fuggì. Ma appena fuori i raggi del sole la accecarono cancellando così la sua memoria. La Principessa dimenticò chi fosse e da dove provenisse. Il suo corpo patì il freddo, la malattia, il dolore e dopo qualche anno morì. Nonostante tutto il Re fu certo che l'anima della Principessa avrebbe un giorno fatto ritorno, magari in un altro corpo, in altro luogo, in un altro tempo. L'avrebbe aspettata fino al suo ultimo respiro, fino a che il mondo non avesse smesso di girare."

Cap de Creus - Cadaqués, Girona (Spain).
... or the North Catalonia. Dedicated to my French friend Color-de-la-vida.
... o la Catalunya Nord. Dedicada a mi amiga francesa Color-de-la-vida.
ENGLISH
The Cap de Creus (Cape of crosses in Catalan) is located at the far NE of Spain, some 25 km south from the French border, in Catalonia. Nearest town is Figueres, capital of the Alt Empordá and fatherland of Salvador Dalí. It is a peninsula of 190 square kilometres of an extraordinary landscape value; a very rocky dry region, with almost no trees, in contrast with a seaside rich in minuscule creeks of deep blue sea to anchor. Mountains are the last eminences of the Pyrenees which make the natural border between France and Spain. The region is frequently swept by awful north wind "tramontana" (beyond mountains) which has caused many naval disasters. Cadaqués is the most well known village, home of artists and writers, with sophisticated and snobbish atmosphere, near Port Lligat where Dalí built his home in a paradise small bay. Port de la Selva, with a little fishing harbour is less exploited, with good gastronomic recourses and pleasant terraces. Fantastic San Pere de Rodes stands out at 500 m of altitude with spectacular views of the Cap and the Pyrenees. It is a 11th century monastery whose first structures date from about 750 AD. It is a magnificent building in Catalan roman style with imposing dimensions and some pre-Romanic painting rests.
Cap de Creus is the easternmost point of mainland Spain. It is located in Alt Empordà, Catalonia.
The legend tells that the Cap de Creus was made by Hercules.

---------------------------
CASTELLANO
El Cabo de Creus (en catalán, cap de Creus), es un promontorio abrupto y rocoso de 672 m de altitud que se alza sobre el mar Mediterráneo en el nordeste de España. Está situado en la comarca gerundense del Alto Ampurdán (Alt Empordà), en la comunidad autónoma de Cataluña, al norte del golfo de Rosas (golf de Roses). Constituye el punto más oriental de la península Ibérica.
Está sujeto a la acción del oleaje, provocado fundamentalmente por la tramuntana (nombre local que recibe un viento frío que sopla del norte y noroeste) y los vientos de levante.
Geomorfológicamente, forma parte de las estribaciones del Pirineo oriental, que se adentran en el mar por el macizo del cabo de Creus. Sobre terrenos graníticos y esquistosos del ordovícico (paleozoico), presenta una vegetación dominante de matorrales y formaciones arbustivas. El cabo de Creus, en cuyo extremo se sitúa un faro, se encuentra en una pequeña península de carácter montañoso, cortada por numerosas entalladuras, a modo de pequeñas calas, orientadas en función de la estructura pizarrosa. En esta área se registran unas precipitaciones anuales que oscilan entre los 500 y 800 mm; se trata, por tanto, de un clima mediterráneo húmedo, caracterizado por la suavidad térmica y unas moderadas precipitaciones.
En el extremo oriental del cabo, a 87 m de altitud, se ubica un faro cuya señal lumínica tiene un alcance de 34 millas.

Este pajarillo lo encontramos en el jardin, Lunita quiso jugar con él y el pobrecito se asustó y se chocó con la verja, rapidamente lo cogi (temia que Luna le hiciera daño sin querer) y lo entre en casa, solo se quedo atontadito durante un rato, al ver que no tenia heridas lo saque al jardin y lo deje volar para que buscara a su mama.... estuve a puntito de quedarmelo pero estoy segura que lo unico que queria el pobre era volver con su mama alli en el nidito... a que era muy lindo!? :D

10 minutes from where my previous (and by far most popular) shot was taken is this huge span of a bridge along State Route 20. This whole area is a recreational vehicle area, so I was constantly surrounded by the sound of 2 stroke motorbikes and off road vehicles. But I stood my ground, to get these 7 shots.. and thus.. I present it to you.

This is another picture taken this morning at sunrise near Sankathi Ghat along river Ganga in Varanasi (Benaras).
It belongs to the series of a new topic about wrestlers in Varanasi which I am showing here with no PP work for a change.
This is Vinod who is also trained by a Russian coach, he has also a little "shop" down the ghat where the gym is standing where he is selling pan, thea, water and sweets.
The gym where we did those pictures is facing river Ganga which gave this vivid colors so early in the morning.
Pehlwan means wrestler in Hindi.

When we confront negative experiences, our knack for finding meaning helps us cope. But on the flip side, we rationalize positive experiences; as they come to seem more predictable, they lose their emotional intensity. Yet small surprises may safely and simply boost your happiness. People experience greater satisfaction in not knowing how things end. Sometimes that is.
And please bear in mind, just as there is help for diseased heart muscle, there is help for these other diseases of the “heart.".

Il villaggio dei pescatori visti dalla baracca in legno "Il paradiso" dove veniva offerto in vendita un vinello dolce passato per Lacrima Christi,
dopo un bicchierino la discesa per il precario sentiero era anche più a rischio della salita ma la vista valeva la pena !
Si scorgono sulla piazzetta le attrezzature turistiche che poi trasformeranno definitivamente il villaggio.

While driving the brother-in-laws van with all of us returning back to Tokyo from a wonderful ski/onsen vacation, I noticed the reflection of the road in my lenses while looking in the rearview mirror.
Pulled out my trusty Canon IXY 910 (always on my person these days!), quickly set to macro mode and snapped the reflection off my Oakley Half-Jackets (lenses are actually this color).
Non-HDR shot taken on the mountain road heading out of Kusatsu, Japan.
I begin to like more and more the black and white images!
Orlando Rebelo (a portuguese photographer) once said "There is something about black and white that color cannot transmit... I think that colors distract us from the essential on an image".
I think this is the goal on a good black&white photo!
What a great quote and what a great photographer!

Streaming Train in a Urban London UK Underground station...very quiet for a change, apart from a lost ghost train architecture. City of London Urban, Metropolitan
The London Underground is a metro system serving a large part of Greater London and neighbouring areas of Essex, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire in England. It is the world's oldest underground railway system. It is usually referred to as the Underground or the Tube - the latter deriving from the shape of the system's deep-bore tunnels - although about 55% of the network is above ground.
The earlier lines of the present London Underground network, which were built by various private companies, became part of an integrated transport system (which excluded the main line railways) in 1933 with the creation of the London Passenger Transport Board (LPTB), more commonly known by its shortened name: "London Transport".
The Underground has 268 stations and approximately 400 km (250 miles) of track,[1] making it the longest metro system in the world by route length,[4] and one of the most served in terms of stations. In 2007, over one billion passenger journeys were recorded.
Transport for London (TfL) was created in 2000 as the integrated body responsible for London's transport system. It replaced London Regional Transport. It assumed control of London Underground Limited in July 2003.
The London Underground's 11 lines are the Bakerloo line, Central line, Circle line, District line, Hammersmith & City line, Jubilee line, Metropolitan line, Northern line, Piccadilly line, Victoria line, and Waterloo & City line.
Until 2007 there was a twelfth line, the East London line, but this has closed for rebuilding work. It will be reopen as part of London Overground - part of the National Rail network and eventually connected to its North London Line - in 2010.
The Underground has been featured in many movies and television shows, including Sliding Doors, Tube Tales and Neverwhere. The London Underground Film Office handles over 100 requests per month. The Underground has also featured in music such as The Jam's "Down in the Tube Station at Midnight" and in literature such as the graphic novel V for Vendetta. Popular legends about the Underground being haunted persist to this day.
The Underground currently sponsors and contributes to the arts via its Platform for Art and Poems on the Underground projects. Poster and billboard space (and in the case of Gloucester Road tube station, an entire disused platform) is given over to artwork and poetry to "create an environment for positive impact and to enhance and enrich the journeys of ... passengers".[
The London Underground's 11 lines are the Bakerloo line, Central line, Circle line, District line, Hammersmith & City line, Jubilee line, Metropolitan line, Northern line, Piccadilly line, Victoria line, and Waterloo & City line. Until 2007 there was a twelfth line, the East London line, but this has closed for conversion work and will be transferred to the London Overground when it reopens in 2010.
Transport for London (TfL) was created in 2000 as the integrated body responsible for London's transport system. It replaced London Regional Transport. It assumed control of London Underground Limited in July 2003.
TfL is part of the Greater London Authority and is constituted as a statutory corporation regulated under local government finance rules.[22] It has three subsidiaries: London Transport Insurance (Guernsey) Ltd., the TfL Pension Fund Trustee Co. Ltd. and Transport Trading Ltd (TTL). TTL has six wholly-owned subsidiaries, one of which is London Underground Limited.

The half of leafs were damaged with this larva and now our lovely geranium plant are peaceful from this glutton enemy.
But it was a great model for my macro photography :)

“Aquí están también las bolas
u pa avestruz, u pa potro,
y que, como dijo el otro,
«de güenas, bolean solas».
De torzal fino las piolas,

no hay otras como las mías,
pues las mesmas tres marías
son como al sol un candil...”

In back of the Stage Harbor Lighthouse at Chatham, Cape Cod. This landing is hidden away a bit on Sears Neck, at the end of a series of winding roads. Though I grew up here I've only just been there for the first time this year. Very odd to find new places in a town only four miles on each side and surrounded by ocean.

8:02 AM, on a Monday: Antwerp-Central railway station platform 6. Just one passenger.
The vast (185 metres long, 66 metres wide and 44 metres high) curved roof iron and glass trainshed is designed by Clement van Bogaert and constructed between 1895 and 1899. The station is widely regarded as the finest example of railway architecture in Belgium. It is often referred to as a "Railway Cathedral".

Qualcosa c'è
che ti fa paura
e rende incerto il tuo volo.
Sarà l'idea
che il tempo si consuma
e l'improvviso sei solo,
come un attore hai scelto il ruolo
di chi è sicuro di se,
ma sai benissimo che la tua arte
è nella parte fragile di te.
Cerca angoli di cielo
fantastiche visioni,
per dare nuova luce ai tuoi occhi
lasciando entrare tutte le emozioni
senza far finta che l'amore non ti tocchi.
Prendi tutti i suoni
dal frastuono di ogni giorno
cerca tra la gente le parole
segui la tua vita
non lasciarla andare
ora è il momento
Perchè non c'è
nessuna differenza
se vinci o se perdi,
quello che conta
che ha più importanza
essere quello che sei.
Cerca angoli di cielo
fantastiche visioni,
per dare nuova luce ai tuoi occhi;
lasciando entrare tutte le emozioni
senza far finta che il dolore non ti tocchi.
Prendi tutti i suoni
dal frastuono di ogni giorno
cerca tra la gente le parole
ama la tua vita
non lasciarla andare
ora è il momento
Prendi tutti i suoni
dal frastuono di ogni giorno
cerca in ogni notte un po' di sole
ama la tua vita
non lasciarla andare
ora è il momento
non aspettare
