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 :-)

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.

Yesterdays sunset show many were talking about....here around Brisbane.
Hours before I observed these lines in the sky and was hoping it would hold on to that for a few more hours. I was pretty excited to get out for this shot and on the way home I knew I got a few special shots. This was the 3rd spectacular sunset in the last few days here in sunny QLD
My Tripot was knee deep in the water and I got Richard VERY close to my lens. Good on ya Richard!

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.

Debo agradecer a todas esas personas que nos hicieron sentir como en casa (pero con mucho calor), por hacer de este fin uno de los mejores en mucho tiempo y podria decir que de la vida... Esperamos que se repita muy pronto un encuentro asi...
Gracias Maracaibo

While in Seattle with Ryan, visiting my dear friend Matt, we rented a Ford Fusion and went to Portland & Cannon Beach in Oregon. A ways outside of Portland, we picked up a massive amount of dark-room equipment from atop a mountain home, which remained in the trunk & full of chemicals (we later found out). I drove twelve~ hours in two days up and down mountains and in between giant trees.
With Matt sleeping in the back, Ryan and I managed to find our way to Cannon Beach, and wonderfully enough, the exact spot we wanted to photograph. We walked along the beach & taking long exposures (I held my shutter down with my index finger for sixteen minutes, in addition to having done several five to ten minute exposures). After becoming sufficiently cold/exhausted, the three of us climbed into our beloved Fusion to sleep. When I say sleep, I mean rest for fifteen minute intervals, whilst being unable to feel my toes because our dumb asses did not bring blankets. At some point Matt attempted to exit the vehicle, and the alarm went off, potentially blowing our we-are-parked-in-a-condo/hotel-parking-lot-please-do-not-notice-us facade. The Fusion has a pleasant feature un-allowing its inhabitants to exit.
After maybe a couple of hours of choppy sleep, Ryan and I stood on the beach and waited for the sunrise, thusly producing this photograph. One of the most wonderful sights I had ever witnessed. You can see his image here. The tiny person in his photograph is me taking this one :))
This was the very first photo taken with my 40D nearly half a year ago. Found it while sorting out old photos... Some colour tweaking in LAB-Mode and an overlay with two different textures

Gold in the Air of Summer
Kings Of Convenience
Without giving anything away
I can say it's by the sea
It's a house that used to be
The home of a friend of mine
Without giving anything away
You'll find ships inside of bottles
When the garden's overgrown
The house is white, but the paint is coming off
I didn't know if you wanted to
But I came to pick you up
You didn't even hesitate
And now you and me are on our way
I think I've bought everything we need
Don't look back, don't think of the
All the places we should've been
It's a good thing that you came along with me
Gold in the air of summer
You'll shine like gold in the air of summer
You'll shine like gold in the air of summer
You'll shine like gold in the air of summer
This house is next to a railroad tracks near Patapsco State Park. It has a unique look that I've always admired. I took the photo while driving (slowly). This is on Marriottsville Road in Howard County, MD. It looks like this will be the only "significant" snow of the season in Maryland this year.
December began cold and snowy, but the meteorological winter ended yesterday, March 2nd - 2.3 degrees above long-term averages for BWI Airport (Baltimore, USA). Precipitation fell short again this winter in our area. Central Maryland only saw 8.5 inches of snow through February - the sixth skimpiest total in 20 years.

This is a set of 54/ 30 sec exposures captured at ISO400 f3.5. 10mm fisheye, for a total of 27 minutes of startrails.
Saturday was just tooo good a day to waste. Went out at 6 am to get the sunrise on the ice covered lake, back out at 3-ish to shoot a little old house with a fellow flickrite, and after supper, back to the lake to get in the moonrise and of course some star trails. Got to play with the fisheye again!!!!! Will post the others as I get to them.

In cultures where demons and witches are perceived as real, fairy tales may merge into legendary narratives, where the context is perceived by teller and hearers as having historical actuality. However, unlike legends and epics, they usually do not contain more than superficial references to religion and actual places, persons, and events; they take place "once upon a time" rather than in actual times.

Een sprookje is een volksvertelling, een meestal tamelijk kort episch verhaal met veel surrealistische elementen dat veelal is voorzien van een moraal. In een of andere vorm komen ze bij vele volkeren voor. Hoewel sprookjes in het verleden bedoeld waren als vertellingen voor volwassenen, zijn het tegenwoordig meestal verhalen voor kinderen waarin hen spelenderwijs iets over het leven bij wordt gebracht.
Het verhaal begint vaak met de tekst "op een dag" in plaats van de huidige tijd.
