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".[

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.

Lake Wakatipu is an inland lake (finger lake) in the South Island of New Zealand. It is at 45°3′S, 168°30′E, in the southwest corner of Otago, near its boundary with Southland.
With a length of 80 kilometres, it is New Zealand's longest lake, and, at 291 km², its third largest. It is at an altitude of 310 metres, towards the southern end of the Southern Alps. The general topography is a reversed "N" shape. The Dart River flows into the northern end, the lake then runs south for 30 kilometres before turning abruptly to the east. Twenty kilometres further along, it turns sharply to the south, reaching its southern end 30 kilometres further south, near Kingston.
The lake is drained by the Kawarau River, which flows out from the lake's Frankton Arm, 8km east of Queenstown. Queenstown is on the northern shore of the lake close to eastern end of its middle section. The lake is very deep, its floor being as low as 100 metres below sea level. It has a seiche of period 26.7 minutes which, in Queenstown Bay, causes the water level to rise and fall some 200 millimetres.
Lake Wakatipu is renowned for its scenic beauty, being surrounded by mountains. The Remarkables mountain range lies along its southeastern edge. It is a popular venue for adventure tourism, with skifields, paragliding, bungy jumping and tramping tracks within easy reach. A vintage steamboat, the TSS Earnslaw regularly plies its waters. Several vineyards are nearby.

Another dramatic red sunset from my London Sunset series, here the sun is hiding behind the silhouette while painting the clouds in red. Sunset..the neverending subject.
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.

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.

White, limestones facades of the Hotel the Ville, the Opera, the Grand Hotel and the museum Beaux Arts around the square in the center of Nancy. The statue in the center of the square is the man called Stanislas, the generous and wealthy man of the Lorraine.
De witte, kalkstenen façades van het Hôtel de Ville, de Opéra, het Grand Hôtel en het Musée de Beaux Arts omlijsten het plein. De tegels zijn een tint witter, twee zwarte diagonalen trekken er een kruis op. De uiterst barokke fonteinen met hun gouden hekwerken vragen om aandacht, evenals de vergulden lantaarns. Maar de indrukwekkende bolling van het plein en de diagonalen sturen de blik toch vooral naar de man die in het midden staat: het standbeeld van Stanislas, ‘weldoener’ van de Lorraine.

se encontraban los patos en el Estany de Puigcerdà (Girona), al caer la tarde, fué divertido verlos incluso patinar sobre él.
On monday morning i went to the bay to take some shots of the stormy waves leftover from sunday's madness. After a while it dawned on me that the wind was switching direction, cleaning up the swell, and wtf was i doing standing there with a camera when i should be out there surfing!
Ran home and got into my wetsuit in record time :)

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.

Nice is a city in southern France located on the Mediterranean coast, between Marseille and Genoa, with 986,903 inhabitants in the metropolitan. The city is a major tourist centre and a leading resort on the French Riviera (Côte d'Azur). It is the historical capital city of the County of Nice. There were settlements in the Nice area approximately 2,000 years ago: the site of Terra Amata shows one of the earliest uses of fire and construction of houses. Nice was founded probably around 350 BC by the Greeks of Massilia (Marseille) and received the name of "Nikaia" in honour of a victory over the neighbouring Ligurians (Nike being the Greek goddess of victory). It soon became one of the busiest trading ports on the Ligurian coast

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

From November to December it is the season of sunflower blooming. Not far from Bangkok, there is lots of sunflower fields blooming alomst the same time.
Driving and expecting so we found the first sunflower field was so beautiful and stunning with cheerful yellow field, mountain background and lively elephants and people.
As blooming time is not long so it is golden time too. Those elephants added so much the joy in the field. They walk happily in the field. Thai people are familiar with elephant.
The elephant I sat on is 20 years old female elephant called "ลมโชย" or "Breezing Wind". She walked and stopped here and there several times to grasp grass for eating. We was happy as she was happy walking carrying three of us and one owner of hers. We fed her with sugarcane some minutes before we decided to have elephant walk with her. So she may remembered us. The owner didn't push her to walk faster though he could earn more money. I asked why and the owner said let her be happy.. and I was so happy to hear that, otherwise I could pay more for more time.
It was bright day, sunny with cloud shadow so the weather was all day comfortable.
I heard happy talks and saw happy smiles all around in those happy colors of flowery field.. Just another one fine day.
(added)
There is a small road withiin the field so people and elephant could walk without flattening the flowers..There is a temporary tower using as platform for elephant onbard : )))) so we can took location like this but Ithis shot actually took when I was sitting on elephant.. when she walked the world just incline in each step so photo comes like that...

Venice (Italian: Venezia [veˈnɛttsja] ( listen), Venetian: Venesia) is a city in northern Italy known both for tourism and for industry, and is the capital of the region Veneto, with a population of about 272,000 (census estimate 1 January 2004). Together with Padua, the city is included in the Padua-Venice Metropolitan Area (population 1,600,000).
The name is derived from the ancient tribe of Veneti that inhabited the region in Roman times.[1][2] The city historically was the capital of an independent city-state. Venice has been known as the "La Dominante", "Serenissima", "Queen of the Adriatic", "City of Water", "City of Masks", "City of Bridges", "The Floating City", and "City of Canals". Luigi Barzini, writing in The New York Times, described it as "undoubtedly the most beautiful city built by man".[3] Venice has also been described by the Times Online as being one of Europe's most romantic cities.[4]
The city stretches across 117 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy. The saltwater lagoon stretches along the shoreline between the mouths of the Po (south) and the Piave (north) Rivers. The population estimate of 272,000 inhabitants includes the population of the whole Comune of Venezia; around 60,000[5] in the historic city of Venice (Centro storico); 176,000 in Terraferma (the Mainland), mostly in the large frazioni of Mestre and Marghera; and 31,000 live on other islands in the lagoon.
The Republic of Venice was a major maritime power during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and a staging area for the Crusades and the Battle of Lepanto, as well as a very important center of commerce (especially silk, grain and spice trade) and art in the 13th century up to the end of the 17th century. This made Venice a wealthy city throughout most of its history.[6] It is also known for its several important artistic movements, especially the Renaissance period. Venice has played an important role in the history of symphonic and operatic music, and it is the birthplace of Antonio Vivaldi.
As much as I love shooting with my Pentax K10D it isn't practical to carry to/from work everyday given that its a full-sized semi-pro dSLR camera. So bought a tiny Canon IXY 910IS digital camera as my cameraphone, while handy, doesn't quite cut it as a serious camera for shots around Tokyo.
