الجنّة ” يا الله تُشغلني .
لأنّنا لن نكذب فيهَا وَ نقول نحنُ بخير , لأنّ الله سَيكرمنا بلذة النظر إليه
لأنّها تُحقق لنَا حياة الخلُود , حياة ملؤها الطمأنينةُ وَ الوَقار , فيهَا من الأنهَار ما يَروينا , وَ من النعيم مَا يُفرحنا ,
وَ كَوثرٌ بإذنهِ سَيسقينا
عِندما كُنت صَغيرة , كُنت أطلبُ الجنّة بإلحَاح , كُنت أتخيّلها تحملُ قصراً كَبيراً , وَ لباساً من غيمِ , وَ حذاءِ بلّوري , وَ بُستانٌ تُشرق فيه شمسٌ لاتغرب ,وَ أغصانٌ تتنَاغم مَع النسيم , وَأغنيَةِ تَصف حَنيني , وَ فرَاشاتِ رَقيقة تكُون بحجمي ؛
لكي أمتطيهَا وَ أطير , أطيرُ عالياً إلى الفردَوس .
والآن أرَى أن الجنّة تضمُ أحلامي , وَ تجعلني أهذي بنعيمِ لايُشبه دنيَانا , تُرغمني على تمزيقي كَي أصل إليها ,
وَ تُرتل علي كُل صلاة :-
” وَ جنّة عرضُها السماوات والأرض أعدت للمتقين ” !
الجنّة شيءٌ أرنو إليهِ بحبٌ وَ حنينْ .

يارب في هذا الصباح .. أطلبك سعادة كبيره لأمي وأبي
سعادة تجعلهم يخرّون سجوداً لك من شدة رغبتهم بها !
يارب في هذا الصباح .. أطلبك الهداية لي ، ولأخوتي الذين أحبهم كثيراً
واخاف عليهم أكثر من نفسي ، وأتوق لرؤيتهم في أعالي مراتب الحياة !
يارب في هذا الصباح .. أدعوك أن تحفظ لي جداتي الـلاتي هنُ زينة الحياة وعطرها
وأجعل لهنّ في كل دعوه إجابه يا مُجيب الدعوات .!
يارب في هذا الصباح .. إغفر لجميع من يقرأ هذه الأسطر وارض عنه
ولا ترد دعواهم وأغفر لموتاهم وارحم أبائهم واعطهم بقدر ما يطلبونك يا ألله !
يارب في هذا الصباح أطلب رحمتك ، وهدايتك ، ومغفرتك ، وحبك يا أرحم الراحمين
اللهم صلّ وسلّم على سيدنا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه وسلّم أجمعين .. اللهم آميين

This man is shooting probably the most photographed item in the city of Portland. It is a sculpture created by J. Seward Johnson and it is entitled “Allow Me”. Most people just call him “Umbrella Man” because it’s the statue of a man hailing a taxi (apparently for an out-of-town visitor) while holding an umbrella. Umbrella Man is stationed at the south end of Pioneer Courthouse Square, also known as Portland’s living room. Everyone who passes through this city park gets his or her picture taken with the sculpture.

When we wake up in the morning, we have two simple choices.
Go back to sleep and dream, or wake up and chase those dreams.
Choice is yours..

I want to look like this. These little guys were all over the East side of Glacier. In fact, there were lots of beautiful wildflowers there. I just fell in love with these ones, I thought they looked like my clematis pods but with stems, or strange little stems with crazy wigs.

La calle del Agua es una de las más típicas de Sevilla.
Empieza cerca de los jardines Murillo y se termina en el pasaje de la Judería ; su trazado transcurre lo largo de los muros del Alcázar.
Se llama así debido a que corriendo a lo largo un acueducto que abasteció de agua al Alcázar.
En la espesor del muro al comienzo de la vía, se ve el tubo de agua.

The "calle del Agua" is one of the most typical of Seville.
Start near the Murillo gardens and ends in the passage of Jewry, its route runs along the walls of the Alcázar.
It is so named because it ran along an aqueduct that supplied water to the Alcázar.
The wall thickness at the beginning of the road, you see the water pipe.

Elle fut baptisée ainsi car elle longeait un aqueduc qui assurait l'alimentation en eau de l'Alcazar.
Dans l'épaisseur du mur au début de la ruelle, on voit encore la canalisation pour l'eau.

Life has it's seasons: after a lot of sunny moments we can get pouring rain =( but the sun does eventually show itself again.. =)
From the roof of the First Bank building in downtown St. Paul, MN.
More than you probably want to know:
The First National Bank building was constructed in 1931 and at 417ft it was the tallest building in Saint Paul Minnesota for over 55 years. Although 3rd tallest today, it's still the most recognizable building in town because of it's cool art deco architecture and this big red neon '1st' bank sign on the roof. The '1st' sign is a local icon that can bee seen from 75 miles away at night and 20 miles away on a clear day. It has 3 sides, is 50ft or over four stories tall, made up of 4,00ft feet of neon tubing, and when it blinks 'on' everything round it glows red.
I’ve had a few questions about this . . . and sadly no, the Fist Bank roof is not open to the public.

In shot is the 22,000 tonne Panama registered cargo vessel 'Sv Nikolay'.
Don’t really know if you would describe this as a big ship... but I would, it did look to be large and lightly laden riding high in the water, the pooled water left by the leaving tide, left a mirrored surface for reflection, and the Ironmen looked on as to greet the ship into the river Mersey.
I quite liked the painted feel to the cloud backdrop here, I think these would have been perfect light and conditions to have seen tall ships in, oh well the less romantic bulk cargo ship will have to do.
If you want to track ships, this makes it easy, you can see where this ship is now, and what its doing...

Spirit Island is a tiny island in Maligne Lake in Jasper National Park. This landmark is the destination of boat trips across Maligne Lake, and is one of the most famous views of the Canadian Rockies.
If you ever go to Maligne Lake, dont miss the opportunity to see this tiny island. You have to take a boat ride for 90min $55.00 (10:00am-4:00pm) The scenery along the coast is magestic. The only bad thing is that they only allow you to be there for 10 minutes and you need to fly to take those shots.
Spirit Island es una isla pequenita localizada en Maligne lake, en Jasper national Park. Es el icono de las Rocosas Canadiense. Si algun dia vienen aqui tienen que tomar un boat tour que cuesta $55.00 y durara acerca de 90 min. El unico problema es que solo te dejan alli por 10 min y hay que volar para tomar las fotos.
Phil I know how Spirit Island is so special to you.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Un orecchino, un neo, un punto, una linea, un ciondolo...un fiocco.
Ho sempre pensato che fossero i dettagli a fare la differenza, a rendere tutto diverso, speciale, unico proprio per il loro essere quasi invisibili ma preziosi.
Apprezzo l'infinita semplicità delle piccole cose, dei gesti all'apparenza insignificanti ma che in realtà riempiono il cuore ed emozionano spesso perché inaspettati.

So I went out for the first time in quite a while with my camera last night. I've had this image in mind for a long time, but just had never bothered to take it. Its not entirely what I had in mind as I thought the parliament building would have had more lighting and the sky would be more blue. The sky I think was just a problem with seasonal timing of the sun setting directly where I was shooting. The light trails were pretty good though, I wasn't sure how much traffic there would be, but there was enough for a 2 minute exposure.

Los jardines del Alcázar
-
The gardens are a fundamental part of the Alcazar. A walk in the gardens of the Alcazar is one of the most pleasant of Seville, which combine the Arab influences, Renaissance and modern. They are arranged in terraces, with green vegetation, lots of orange and palm trees, fountains, cool and calm for rest and relaxation away from the city.

Street shopping is very popular across India and it is no different here in Hyderabad. On my recent outing, I saw so many interesting things being sold on the streets but one thing which caught my attention was this guy selling some shiny key chains with Dolphins on them.
The guy was pretty happy to pose for the camera and I took a dozen shots of these at different angles and this is the one I really liked. One thing I noticed on the streets was that the people are always pleased to pose for the camera and in fact I can recall several instances where people called me out and asked me to take their picture.
People in India are warm and inviting and there are so many interesting things happening on the streets. As long as you are a bit careful (and ignore the touts, trying to force you to buy stuff you don't want to), you will never be disappointed doing street photography in India.
I hope you guys visit sometime because India is a fascinating place to experience and photograph!
Thanks for your visit and comments, my friends!
Fireworks over St. Paul Minnesota on July 4th (Independence Day 2011) seen from the Smith Avenue High Bridge looking up the Mississippi river to downtown Saint Paul, MN. It was the first time I've been in town for the 4th of July since I got a camera . . . fun
One more. I took lots!

Cada vez que voy a Blanes saco algunas fotos de esta vista, ninguna me gusta, ninguna me convence. Esta no quedo mal, espero os guste.
"Hola oscuridad, mi vieja amiga
He venido nuevamente a hablar contigo
Porque una visión deslizándose suavemente
Dejó sus semillas mientras yo dormía.
Y la visión que fue plantada en mi cerebro
Aún continúa
Dentro del sonido del silencio
En inquietos sueños yo caminaba solo.
Por angostas calles de guijarros
Bajo el halo de un farol.
Me levanté el cuello por el frío y la humedad
Cuando mis ojos fueron acuchillados por el destello de una luz de neón
Que agrietó la noche
Y tocó el sonido del silencio.
Y en la desnuda luz yo vi
A diez mil personas, o tal vez más.
Gente conversando sin hablar
Gente oyendo sin escuchar
Gente escribiendo canciones que nunca comparten las voces.
Y nadie se atrevía
A romper el sonido del silencio.
Tontos les dije, ustedes no saben
Que el silencio crece como un cáncer.
Escuchen las palabras que podría enseñarles
Tomen mis brazos que podría extenderles.
Pero mis palabras cayeron como silenciosas gotas de lluvia
Y resonaron
En los pozos del silencio.
Y la gente se inclinó y rezó
Al Dios de neón que habían construido.
Y el letrero emitió su aviso
Con las palabras que estaba formando.
Y el letrero decía:
Las palabras de los profetas están escritas en las paredes del metro
Y en los zaguanes de las viviendas
Y susurradas en los sonidos del silencio."

It has been known for a little while that ten coastguard stations across the uk are 'at risk'. The suggestion being that we should have just three 24-hour national stations – at Southampton, Dover and Aberdeen.
Crosby has been fighting to keep its station, and recently
a cross-party transport select committee has suggested that the proposal could have devastating and deadly consequences on the Mersey coastline.
While there are many being made 'at risk' in these times, from what you can gather, most dont leave lives at risk.
Been trying to clean up my harddrive, this one shows the station behind the car park at Burbo bank and the comms tower, set against the mile marker on the beach.
Update: it was announced yesterday that the coastguard station will be closed, despite a report that lives will be lost
