The Marnixstraat is a street in Amsterdam, located along the western border of the Jordaan district in the center. The Marnixkade, parallel to the Marnixstraat, on the eastern bank of the Singel canal opposite the Nassaukade. The Eerste Marnixdwarsstraat above is located between Marnixstraat and Marnixkade. The street was named in 1872 to Filips van Marnix 1540 to 1598. The previous street, name was the Schans. The Canta are little red handicapped cars that are so normal in our streets, we don't even see them anymore. Just like we don't notice the Graffiti anymore. Graffiti is from the Italian word graffiato scratched. Graffiti is applied in art history to works of art produced by scratching a design into a surface. The term, graffiti, referred to the inscriptions, figure drawings, and such, found on the walls of ancient sepulchers or ruins, as in the Catacombs of Rome or at Pompeii. Use of the word has evolved to include any graphics applied to surfaces in a manner that constitutes vandalism. The Romans Classic also wrote on their walls and monuments. These were mostly political statements and announcements of gladiatorial games. It was not only the Greeks and Romans who produced graffiti: the Mayan site of Tikal in Guatemala also contains ancient examples. Viking graffiti survive in Rome. I think the graffiti above is probably not Vikings, perhaps a swedish kitchen cabinet from Ikea?
Photo inspired by my friend Mr. Akbar. He's a street art photographer with more than 10.000 photos. He doesn't make the graffiti himself but takes photos of it. Have a visit to his stream and just look and enjoy graffiti or hate them.
De Marnixstraat is een straat in Amsterdam, langs de westelijke grens van de Jordaan in stadsdeel Centrum.De Marnixkade ligt, parallel aan de Marnixstraat, op de oostelijke oever van de Singelgracht tegenover de Nassaukade. De Eerste Marnixdwarsstraat hierboven ligt tussen de Marnixstraat en de Marnixkade. De straat werd in 1872 vernoemd naar Filips van Marnix 1540-1598, heer van Sint Aldegonde. De straat, die voordien de Schans heette, werd na 1850 aangelegd op de plaats van de tussen 1820 en 1840 geslechte stadswallen. Het gedeelte van de Schans tussen Leidseplein en Frederiksplein werd in 1872 Weteringschans genoemd en het gedeelte tussen Frederiksplein en Nieuwe Vaart werd de Sarphatistraat. De Canta's zijn die vaak rode gehandicaptenwagentjes die zo normaal zijn in ons straatbeeld, dat je ze niet eens meer ziet. De Graffiti valt ons ook niet eens meer op. Het woord graffiti betekent ingekraste tekeningen en is de meervoudsvorm van het Italiaanse woord graffito, verwant aan graffio schram. Graffiti zijn van alle tijden. Er is zelfs een spreekwoord over: gekken en dwazen schrijven hun namen op muren en glazen. Het volk van de Vandalen was bekend om zijn graffiti. De Romeinen uit de klassieke oudheid schreven ook op hun muren en monumenten. Dit waren vooral politieke uitspraken en aankondigingen van gladiatorenspelen, bijvoorbeeld in Pompei. In Rome zijn er graffiti gevonden die de Vikingen daar hebben aangebracht. De Cro-magnonmens maakten tekeningen in rotsen. Ook de Egyptenaren stonden bekend om hun graffiti, de hiërogliefen. De graffiti hierboven is waarschijnlijk niet van Vikingen, misschien een zweeds kastje van Ikea?

"The Old Mill was the watermill of Hobbiton, owned and run by the Sandyman Family. The Old Mill was a corn mill powered by a large water wheel. It lay directly adjacent to the bridge across the Water and next to the Old Grange as well."
This is the water mill that can be seen in the Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring when Gandalf arrives in Hobbiton for Bilbo's birthday and crosses the bridge. I hope you will enjoy it, I apologize in advance for the photo, I didn't managed, unfortunately, to capture the water.

Foto tirada Sábado pela manha no Costão de Itacoatiara, diferente das ultimas trilhas que tenho indo e publicado fotos aqui, o Costão de Itacoatiara é bem mais pesado, apesar de estar ainda qualificada como um trilha mediana, mas essa ai não basta apenas subir no seu proprio ritimo, pois ela tem uma hora que necessita fazer uma semi escalada, mas estar neste local com esta vista, recompensa o esforço e o cansaço.
Peço desculpa pela ausancia e a falta de retribuição nas visitas, mas sexta o flick ficou com problemas basicamente o dia inteiro e ontem a foto já mostra o motivo, daqui a pouco estarei saindo novamente...

The Burg Gutenfels (also known as castle Kaub) is a castle 110m above the town of Kaub in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It was build in 1220. It was used with Pfalzgrafenstein Castle in the middle of the Rhein and the fortified city of Kaub on the far side to provide an impenetrable toll zone for the Holy Roman Emperor until Prussia purchased the area (1866) and ended this toll in 1867. The Castle is in part of the Rhine Gorge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site added in 2002.
Kaub (old spelling: Caub) is a town in Germany, state Rhineland-Palatinate, district Rhein-Lahn-Kreis. It is part of the municipality (Verbandsgemeinde) Loreley. It is located on the right bank of the Rhine, approx. 50 km west from Wiesbaden.
It has a Roman Catholic and an Evangelical church, and a statue of General Blücher. The trade mainly consists of the wines of the district. (Wikipedia)

One of my goals for 2013 was to take some long exposure night photos and to get some shots of lightning. So here is another experimental shot. This was the first night I ever tried talking lightning photos...
This photo was taken from the observation walkway on "city key", Sarasota Florida across from the Sarasota Sailing Squadron, close to the Mote Marine Aquarium facing toward Coon Key.St. Armands Circle is to the right. The tall building in the center is Plymouth Harbor, a local retirement community.
Thanks for taking a look. As always comments and constructive advice is always appreciated.

The Grand Canal (Italian: Canal Grande, Venetian: Canałasso) is a canal in Venice, Italy. It forms one of the major water-traffic corridors in the city. Public transport is provided by water buses (Italian: vaporetti) and private water taxis, and many tourists explore the canal by gondola. At one end, the canal leads into the lagoon near the Santa Lucia railway station and the other end leads into Saint Mark Basin; in between, it makes a large reverse-S shape through the central districts (sestieri) of Venice. It is 3,800 m long, 30–90 m wide, with an average depth of five meters (16.5 ft).
Because most of the city's traffic goes along the Canal rather than across it, only one bridge crossed the canal until the 19th century, the Rialto Bridge. There are currently three more bridges, the Ponte degli Scalzi, the Ponte dell'Accademia, and the recent, controversial Ponte della Costituzione, designed by Santiago Calatrava, connecting the train station to Piazzale Roma, one of the few places in Venice where buses and cars can enter. As was usual in the past, people can still take a ferry ride across the canal at several points by standing up on the deck of a simple gondola called a traghetto, although this service is less common than even a decade ago. Most of the palaces emerge from water without pavement. Consequently, one can only tour past the fronts of the buildings on the grand canal by boat.

The Ca' da Mosto is a thirteenth-century palace in Venice, northern Italy, the oldest building on the Grand Canal. It is in the Veneto-Byzantine style, with high narrow arches and distinctive capitals. The features of the palace show its beginnings as a casa-fondaco, the home and workplace of its original merchant owner. A second floor was added at the beginning of the sixteenth century, and a third in the nineteenth. The palace takes its name from the Venetian explorer Alvise da Ca' da Mosto, who was born in the palace in 1432. It stayed in the da Mosto family until 1603, when Chiara da Mosto left her entire estate to Leonardo Donà dalle Rose, a nephew of her second husband, rather than her da Mosto relatives, with whom she had fallen out. Between the 16th and the 18th centuries the Ca' da Mosto housed the well-known Albergo Leon Bianco (the White Lion Hotel). In 1769 and 1775 the Holy Roman Emperor and son of Maria Theresa, Joseph II, lived here during his stay in Venice.

The Chiesa dei Santi Apostoli di Cristo (English: Church of the Holy Apostles of Christ), commonly called San Apostoli, is a 7th-century Roman Catholic church located in the Cannaregio sestiere of the Italian city of Venice. It is one of the oldest churches in the city and has undergone numerous changes since its foundation. The present building is the result of a major reconstruction project which was undertaken in 1575. The church is notable particularly for the Cornaro Chapel, an important example of Early Renaissance architecture, added by Mauro Codussi during the 1490s. The chapel is the burial place of several members of the powerful Cornaro family, including Catherine Cornaro, Queen of Cyprus. The church houses several works of art including pieces by Giambattista Tiepolo and Paolo Veronese.

Palazzo dei Camerlenghi is a Renaissance palace in Venice, northern Italy, located in the sestiere (quarter) of San Polo. It faces the Canal Grande, near the Rialto Bridge. The palace was built from 1525 to 1528 under design by Guglielmo dei Grigi, who was inspired by the style of Mauro Codussi and Pietro Lombardo. It was the seat of several financial magistrates, including the Camerlenghi whom it takes its name from, the Consuls of the Traders and the Supra-Consuls of the Traders. Due to this function, the lower floor was used as a jail for the insolvents: the location nearby the crowded Rialto Bridge served as an admonition for the people passing there. The palace currently houses the regional seat of the Italian Comptroller and Auditor General. The palace has a pentagonal plan which follows the shore of the Canal Grande, with three floors. It has tall windows with centrings, divided by false columns and decorated with friezes. There were once polyhcrome marble and porphyry slabs, now lost. Due to the Venetian tradition that, when leaving the position, a magistrate would leave a religious-themed painting and a portrait in his former seat, the Palazzo dei Camerlenghi housed numerous artworks. These were dispersed during the French occupation; some returned to Venice, but are now in other locations.
At first glance, this looked like many of our other Main Street photos, but what did Robert French (almost certainly) capture for us but a Barrel Piano on Main Street, Bandon in Co. Cork! At least I think that's what it is in the bottom right corner? Oh, and there're also a few women in those amazing hooded cloaks!

La verdad es que se me hace duro subir esta foto hoy, pero creo que en justicia debo hacerlo. He presenciado algo que me ha escandalizado.
Yo no soy ni mucho menos un fotógrafo profesional, ni si quiera creo que sea un buen fotógrafo, pero lo que voy a contaros no tiene nada que ver con ser buen o mal fotógrafo... tiene que ver en como tratar a tu cliente.
Ya se que una boda es algo muy especial, un día en el que vas en una nube, llevado y traído por un montón de personas en las que previamente has depositado tu confianza, bien por lazos de sangre, por amistades, o por contratos, para que hagan de ese día uno de los mejores de tu existencia... (hay quien habrá disfrutado más del día de su divorcio que del día de su boda, pero eso es harina de otro costal).
En mi ciudad, existen multitud de sitios extraordinarios para hacer fotos de boda, La Imperial se presta a ello... pero sinceramente, creo que hay profesionales que se lo curran muy poco a la hora de buscar buenas localizaciones... en mi ciudad, pocos.
Con esto no discuto en ningún momento sobre la calidad de las fotos realizadas, puede que sean buenas, o incluso muy buenas, pero si sometemos al cliente, que no lo olvidemos, es una flamante novia, traída y llevada en ese día tan especial, pero donde su voluntad tal vez se quedó en un "Sí Quiero", no creo que sea tolerable indicarla que se tumbe ne el suelo por muy hermoso que sea el fondo.
El tajo, a su paso por Toledo, llega convertido ya en "la cloaca de Madrid". Sus aguas no son turbias, ¡parecen brea!. La vereda arreglada hace unos veinte años, tiene un mantenimiento deplorable, únicamente se fumiga de vez en cuando, por lo que es un semillero de mosquitos insoportable, que crecen entre los juncales infectos gracias a los restos de fertilizantes que lleva el agua. No es infrecuente encontrarse alguna rata, alimentada por las papeleras a rebosar. Hay también patos y ocas, animales a los que echamos de comer, pero que carecen de casetas donde vivir, y campan a sus anchas haciendo sus necesidades en cualquier lado... al igual que los perros que son paseados por sus incíbicos dueños, libremente, y dejando "pastelitos" por todos lados, que luego nadie recoge. Por último, dos detalles: hay multitud de gatos que son alimentados por gente insensata, gatos que transmiten enfermedades, que se multiplican sin control... esto no lo he entendido nunca, ¿porqué no se los llevan a su casa y los cuidan? . Y por último, hay peces, peces que mueren por centenas en cuanto a alguien de alguna fábrica se le olvida cerrar la llave aquella del depósito X, y vierte la muerte al río.
Vale, me he salido de contexto, pero es que si no fuera por estos "pequeños" detalles, no colgaría esta foto hoy, una foto denuncia, un toque de atención para que los profesionales del obturador, tengan un poco más de imaginación.
Paseaba yo en busca de algún pato o bicho capaz de fotografiar, cuando me encuentro a la típica pareja de recién casados haciéndose las fotos en tan agradable lugar... con sus vistas tan bonitas a un río negro y con espuma acusadora. Lamentablemente, no creo que sea el único profesional que utiliza ese decorado para sus fotos, allá donde los novios se dejan aconsejar por el profesional experto, aquel que debe conocerse al dedillo las mejores localizaciones, las más cómodas, las más hermosas.
Que si pose por aquí, que si pose por allá... creo que para eso no valdría... porque me pongo a pensar. ¿que coño hacen aquí estos? ¿cómo consienten que les metan en semejante "vertedero" para que les hagan fotos? Ay, la estoicidad de las novias, capaces de poner la mejor de las sonrisas, para conseguir ese recuerdo anhelado... pues podrían dejar una neurona encendida para esos momentos, pienso yo.
El remate es cuando veo que la dicen que se tumbe ahí... a la orilla de una presa, y la pobre novia, consiente con todo lo que le pidan, ¡y de mil amores!. Pero vamos a ver chiquilla, que vale que tu traje de novia sólo te lo pongas un día, ¿pero es necesario que te tumbes ahí? Os hago el recopilatorio de lo que había a su alrededor, algo sale en la foto, otras cosas no:
-Mosquitos
-Cagadas de aves
-Cagadas de perro
-Cagadas humanas
-Cagadas de gato
-Bolsas de basura
-Peces muertos
-Colillas
-Cáscaras de pipas
-Restos de suciedad arrastrada por el río
-Preservativos usados.
-Kleenex usados
-Envases varios.
Como veis, un inventario de la vergüenza humana, en su máxima expresión... y la novia traga alegremente, porque ha depositado toda la confianza en el profesional de la luz... lo flipo.
Y no dudo que las fotos sean cojonudas, pero hay un precio que creo que toda novia no debería pagar, el precio de la dignidad.
Como colofón a mi denuncia, o como lección magistral de lo que es un profesional (que ya he dicho que yo no me dedico a esto), quiero enlazar un artículo de un conocido, que sí dedica tiempo en observar, en buscar un buen lugar para fotografiar... y no necesita irse a vertederos ni a lugares inóspitos para conseguir un resultado de 10... me refiero al Señor Sergio Murria, y no he podido evitar recordarle mientras asistía atónito, a una novia tirarse al suelo en medio de cagadas de pato.

A cloud is a visible mass of liquid droplets or frozen crystals made of water or various chemicals suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of a planetary body. These suspended particles are also known as aerosols. Clouds in Earth's atmosphere are studied in the cloud physics branch of meteorology. Two processes, possibly acting together, can lead to air becoming saturated; cooling the air or adding water vapor to the air. In general, precipitation will fall to the surface; an exception is virga, which evaporates before reaching the surface.
The international cloud classification system is based on the fact clouds can show free-convective upward growth like cumulus, appear in non-convective layered sheets such as stratus, or take the form of thin fibrous wisps, as in the case of cirrus. Prefixes are used in connection with clouds: strato- for low clouds with limited convection that form mostly in layers, nimbo- for thick layered clouds that can produce moderate to heavy precipitation, alto- for middle clouds, and cirro- for high clouds.
While a majority of clouds form in Earth's troposphere, there are occasions when clouds in the stratosphere and mesosphere can be observed. These three main layers of the atmosphere where clouds may be seen are collectively known as the homosphere. Above this lies the thermosphere and exosphere, which together make up the heterosphere that marks the transition to outer space. Clouds have been observed on other planets and moons within the Solar System, but, due to their different temperature characteristics, they are composed of other substances such as methane, ammonia, and sulfuric acid.

En verano Peña Ubiña es bastante accesible, sólo hace falta salvar un desnivel cercano a 1200 m desde el pueblo de Torrebarrio.
En el primer plano podemos ver el sendero que baja de Peña Ubiña, y alcanza las praderías del collado del Ronzón, después de dejar atrás el inclinado y serpenteante sendero entre rocas que baja de la cumbre. Enfrente tenemos Ubiña La Pequeñas con 2197 m de altitud.

In summer Peña Ubiña is quite accessible, just need to save a slope close to 1200 m from the village of Torrebarrio.
In the foreground we can see the path down Ubiña Peña, and reaches the pastures of the hill of Ronzón, after leaving behind the steep and winding path through rocks coming down from the summit. Before us Ubiña The Small with 2197 m altitude.
Even in the middle of a desert, you can find a slight piece of Heaven. To bad the fish were rude though. I didn't even know fish HAD fingers, let alone a middle one. I didn't do anything either. Nope. Not a thing. I was totally innocent, minding my own business. I swear.

Esta semana otra vertical, parece que últimamente me encuentro a gusto con este formato, dicen que es más complicado distribuir elementos de esta manera , pero en mi opinión si son pocos y jugando con un primer plano y un fondo interesante se pueden conseguir perspectivas con una eficaz sensación de profundidad y además se consigue siempre centrar mucho más la atención sobre lo verdaderamente interesante de la escena. No escogí el formato yo, más bien creo que el formato últimamente me escoge a mí y luego me busco la vida para hacer lo que puedo con lo que tengo delante de la cámara...no se ,divagaciones mias.....
-Técnica: Para la escena de hoy ND 64 de B&W ,más inverso de dos pasos de Hi Tech mas Black Card, ésta la utilizé poniéndola perpendicular al eje del horizonte ( para estas ocasiones tengo una estrechita de unos 2 cm) intentando reservar el cielo sin tapar en exceso los farallones.Con este tipo de escenas en las que las nubes blancas reciben la luz cálida del atardecer hay que tener cuidado con la exposición, pues la representación del histograma en la pantalla de la cámara (un jpg que realiza la propia cámara), puede aparecer dentro de gráfica pero realmente cuando abres la imagen en el procesador de RAWs, en mi caso DPP, los rojos, si hacemos una selección por canales, suelen estar quemados en las luces altas, es por esto que mi recomendación es que intenteis tender a subexponer al menos un paso, ya que después será más fácil recuperar zonas algo oscuras en edición que salvar luces quemadas.
Los datos exif los podreis encontrar en la WEB.
-COMPOSICIÓN: La compo resultó fácil en un principio, buscaba una triangulación de elementos entre las roquitas del primer plano y los farallones, tras la primera toma mi sorpresa fue descubrir que las trasparencias del agua dejaban entrever algunas formas del fondo bastante interesantes, sólo tuve que reencuadrar y controlar la exposición.Las nubes en el cielo me echaron una mano aderezando el fondo.
-Edición: En el DPP de Canon ,balance de blancos, por canales bajar un punto la exposición de los rojos,curvas.En PS contraste por zonas.

I know, it has been done before, but I hadn't done it yet. It was pretty slippery to get to that place. The way down was much easier and from a different slope - now I know how to get up there. This is my first picture on full frame from my own camera. A classic, taken with another classic.
The waterfall is 60 m high and the cliffs you can see marked the coastline once upon a distant time.

" El embalse de Lindoso era una realidad sin retorno suscrita en 1968 por Franco y Salazar en un convenio internacional para el aprovechamiento de los ríos fronterizos .....anegó varios pueblos gallegos con una dolorosa expropiacion forzosa y a pesar de aportar España el 80% del suelo cubierto por el pantano, no recibieron ni perciben en la actualidad ingreso alguno. "
Embalsa las aguas de río Lima para los portugueses, en pleno Parque Nacional da Peneda-Gerês y río Limia para los gallegos, en el Parque Natural Baixa Limia-Serra do Xurés.
Ambos parques se unen para formar el primer parque transfronterizo europeo, con el nombre de Reserva de la Biosfera Transfronteriza Gerês-Xurés.
La obra comenzó en 1983 y se inaguró en 1992, convirtiendose la vieja Presa de Lindoso de 1921 en la Presa de Lindoso o Barragem do Alto-Lindoso, en mayor centro productor de energia hidroeléctrica de Portugal.
Se excavaron 1.200.000 m³ .......
El embalse es de titularidad portuguesa, pertenece a EDP (Energias de Portugal) uno de los principales operadores europeos en el sector de la energía y no está respetando los convenios de niveles, en aras de un aprovechamiento brutal del rendimiento......eso hace que las instalaciones de la parte española, se encuentren en estos momentos bajo mínimos a pesar del año increible de lluvias que hemos tenido.
*******************************************************************
Estas fotos son de la segunda vez que fuimos a Lindoso buscando otra ruta que tampoco encontré......y acabamos haciendo una ruta alternativa que ya subiré más adelante y visitando esta presa.
O bien Lindoso es complicado en sí o yo no estoy muy inspirada ultimamente :-) pero es una zona tan bonita, que volveremos cuando aflojen un poco los calores ......

The daily flickr blog featured a Gallery of "Pretty Panoramas" and this image was included, resulting in thousands of views!

Though I've seen pictures of Crater Lake for many years, I had never seen it in person before today. You cannot believe the deep jewel tone of blue until you see it yourself ! The lake is one of the purest and clearest in the world. It is self-contained - no streams flow in or out of the caldera. It is fed entirely by the annual snowmelt by the 44 feet annual snowfall ! There are still a few patches of snow here and there around the rim.
It would be nice to be here when there are big puffy clouds in the sky, so we'll just have to come back again. The season here is very short - June through September. It is snowed in the rest of the year and they do not snow plow the rim drive.
This is a 7-image panorama covering just under 180 degrees.
I've heard from others that mosquitoes can be vicious here; but we saw only a few. They enjoyed snacking on my tender skin until I slathered it with Deet ! I think the skeeter problem diminishes after most of the snow is melted and there is no standing water.
If you have a moment, look at the largest size to see the astonishing amount of beautiful geological detail created 7,700 years ago by a violent volcano !
