“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!!

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.
Taken with a Hasselblad 500C and Fuji Velvia 50 slide film.

...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."

Desde el cerro Concepción de Valparaiso, concretamente desde el Brighton Cafe, se tiene esta vista de uno de los mil bellos rincones de Valparaiso. Se trata de la Plaza Aníbal Pinto.
Declarada zona típica y de protección en el año 1976, es una muestra del espíritu de la ciudad en la unión de plan y cerro. Su primer nombre fue La Plaza del Orden y ha sufrido pocas modificaciones en 100 años.
En el centro de ella destaca la Fuente de Neptuno, instalada en 1892, que representa al Dios de las Aguas cabalgando sobre dos dragones, que arrojan agua por sus bocas y a quienes dirige Neptuno con un gran tridente. Desde esta plaza es posible ascender a los cerros Concepción y Alegre.
From Concepcion hill, exactly from Brighton Café, you get this sight of one of thousand beautiful corners of Valparaiso: Aníbal Pinto Square.
Declared typical protection zone in 1976, its first name was Order Square and it has suffered only a few modifications in 100 years.
In the center,it stands Neptune fountain, installed in 1892 represents this God of the Waters leading two dragoons, throwing water from their mouths. From this square it is possible getting to Concepcion and Alegre hills.

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

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.

London is the largest urban area and the capital of England and the United Kingdom. An important settlement for two millennia, London's history goes back to its founding by the Romans. Since its settlement, London has been part of many important movements and phenomena throughout history, such as the English Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution, and the Gothic Revival. The city's core, the ancient City of London, still retains its limited medieval boundaries; but since at least the 19th century the name "London" has also referred to the whole metropolis which has developed around it. Today the bulk of this conurbation forms the London region of England and the Greater London administrative area, with its own elected mayor and assembly.
London is one of the world's leading business, financial, and cultural centres, and its influence in politics, education, entertainment, media, fashion and the arts all contribute to its status as a major global city. London boasts four World Heritage Sites: The Palace of Westminster, Westminster Abbey and St. Margaret's Church; the Tower of London; the historic settlement of Greenwich; and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The city is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, and its popularity has increased over the years due to economic growth.
London's diverse population draws from a wide range of peoples, cultures, and religions, and over 300 languages are spoken within the city. As of 2006, it has an official population of 7,512,400 within the boundaries of Greater London and is the most populous municipality in the European Union. As of 2001, the Greater London Urban Area has a population of 8,278,251 and the metropolitan area is estimated to have a total population of between 12 and 14 million.
The 2012 Summer Olympic Games will be held in London from 27 July to 12 August 2012, followed by the 2012 Paralympic Games from 29 August to 9 September. I hope this aerial photos of London will help you during your stay in this beautiful metropolis!

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.".

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.

London Underground Life Color - December 31, 2007
I found this larva today under a leaf of our geranium (shaamdani) flowerpot.
It's a one of dangerous enemy or pest for this kind of plant who eat leafs destructively.
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 :)
Some information about this insect i collected via web search:
Common name: Cabbage Looper
Scientific name: Trichoplusia ni (Hubner)
Facts: The cabbage looper is a green caterpillar with white stripes down the back. They have only three pairs of fleshy prolegs (legs on the abdomen) and loop when crawling. They grow to 1 1/4 inches long. Adults are a brown moth with sucking mouthparts.

Hayley and I drove down to York (by way of Portsmouth, New Hampshire) to photograph Nubble Light in snow. It was cooooooold! Brrrrr. The wind was brutal.
The Alps (French: Alpes; German: Alpen; Italian: Alpi; Romansh: Alps; Slovene: Alpe) is the name for one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east, through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. The word "Alps" was taken via French from Latin Alpes (meaning "the Alps"), which may be influenced by the Latin words albus (white) or altus (high) or more likely a Latin rendering of a Celtic or Ligurian original.
The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc, at 4,808 metres (15,774 ft), on the Italian-French border. All the main peaks of the Alps can be found in the list of mountains of the Alps and list of Alpine peaks by prominence.
The Alps are generally divided into the Western Alps and the Eastern Alps. The division is along the line between Lake Constance and Lake Como, following the Rhine. The Western Alps are higher, but their central chain is shorter and curved; they are located in Italy, France and Switzerland. The Eastern Alps (main ridge system elongated and broad) belong to Austria, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovenia and Switzerland.
The Alps are a classic example of what happens when a temperate area at lower altitude gives way to higher elevation terrain. Elevations around the world which have cold climates similar to those found in polar areas have been called alpine. A rise from sea level into the upper regions of the atmosphere causes the temperature to decrease. The effect of mountain chains on prevailing winds is to carry warm air belonging to the lower region into an upper zone, where it expands in volume at the cost of a proportionate loss of heat, often accompanied by the precipitation of moisture in the form of snow or rain.
A cold December evening on top of the cliffs looking down on to the beach. There were three people standing there waiting for the sun to go down and I thought the image looked kinda cool.

Sometimes you review your old photo folders and find one you meant to post to Flickr, but forgot. Or you thought the one you posted was better.
Seeing this again, I definitively think it should be posted. Its a narrower view compared to the previous one (fewer shots). But there's more of what's in there, I feel. And the stitches look better to me. And the new Opera house (opening April 2008 - white Snøhetta designed building bottom left) is included in full here.
Here's the other photos shot at the same time.
