Though Travus loves to surf and spent the better part of the day doing so, his day wasn't going to be complete unless he got some fishing in ;-)

Úbeda, Jaén (Spain).
ENGLISH
Real Street, one of the main streets of the old town of Úbeda. Photo treated with Artizen HDR to clarify the heavy shadows.
***
Úbeda (IPA: ['uβeða]) is a town in the province of Jaén in Spain's autonomous community of Andalusia. It had about 36,000 inhabitants in 2003. It is best known for its association with the writer Antonio Muñoz Molina and the singer Joaquín Sabina. Despite opposition from the ICOMOS, UNESCO declared its Renaissance monuments a World Heritage Site in a cultural unity with Baeza in 2003.
The town lends its name to a common figure of speech in Spanish, andar por los cerros de Úbeda (literally 'to walk around the hills of Úbeda'), meaning 'to go off at a tangent'.

Úbeda es una ciudad de la provincia de Jaén en Andalucía (España). Capital de la fértil comarca jienense de La Loma. La ciudad está declarada Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad por la UNESCO desde el 3 de julio de 2003, junto con la ciudad de Baeza, debido a la conservación de sus buenos y numerosos edificios renacentistas así como todo su singular entorno urbanístico.
También es foto antigua, en un intento a ascender la Sierra Nevada en agosto. Acampamos en el filo del cordón que une la Sierra con el cordón Las Raíces. Abajo se ve el valle de Caracoles y, al fondo, el valle de Malalcahuello y volcán Lonquimay.

De todas maneras en grande u "original". Es la vista desde el oeste al este, más o menos 180º o un poco más.

Part religious observance, part cultural education and part kiddie entertainment, the kopeng sidekarya dance is performed only by a trained few. In this performance for the village's ngeroras celebration, the dance drama was performed by two male dancers, alternating roles with different masks. Combining morality tales and mundane jokes, the performers know how to rivet and engage the crowd. Interestingly, this show was performed while the family members were still going about their processional chores. Each one has a role to fulfill.

My close friends in Bali took me to their village in Karengasem. Their neighbors just had a cremation and the day I came was the ngeroras ceremony. The celebration was replete with long processions and dramatic offerings, and performances involving the topeng (mask), the wayang (shadow puppet) and the rejang dewa. The latter is a dance by pre-pubescent girls in these lavishly tall homemade coconut leaf headresses called gelung rejang. Stretching from morning to midnight, the ceremony is a showcase of cultural purity. The village actually welcomed me fully and did not mind that there was one Filipino, albeit in Balinese attire, taking pictures as if there was no tomorrow.

Είπε, και την ευκή του επάκουσεν ο Απόλλωνας ο Φοίβος,
κι απo την κορφή του Ολύμπου εχύθηκε θυμό γεμάτος, κι είχε
δοξάρι και κλειστό στις πλάτες του περάσει σαϊτολόγο'
κι αντιβροντούσαν οι σαγίτες του στις πλάτες, μανιασμένος
καθώς τραβούσε· και κατέβαινε σαν τη νυχτιά τη μαύρη.
Κάθισε αλάργα απo τα πλεούμενα κι ευτύς σαγίτα ρίχνει,
και το ασημένιο του αντιδόνησε τρομαχτικά δοξάρι.
(ΟΜΗΡΟΥ ΙΛΙΑΣ )
Thus as he pray'd, his pray'r Apollo heard:
Along Olympus' heights he pass'd, his heart
Burning with wrath; behind his shoulders hung
His bow, and ample quiver; at his back
Rattled the fateful arrows as he mov'd;
Like the night-cloud he pass'd, and from afar
He bent against the ships, and sped the bolt;
And fierce and deadly twang'd the silver bow.
(HOMER'S ILIAD)

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...

“...Grito a grito, peito a peito,
’repontemo’ até o rodeio
este matreiro teimoso
que refugou na picada,
de ‘a cavalo’ não refugo,
embora o tempo desabe
e o mais matreiro já sabe
que me gusta paleteada...”
Trecho de "Paleteada", de Rogério Villagran

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.
