London Eye Reflection in a Panorama view of London
The London Eye is a giant Ferris wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. Also known as the Millennium Wheel, its official name was originally the British Airways London Eye, then the Merlin Entertainments London Eye, and since January 2011, the EDF Energy London Eye.
The entire structure is 135 metres (443 ft) tall and the wheel has a diameter of 120 metres (394 ft). It is currently Europe's tallest Ferris wheel,[6] the most popular paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom with over 3.5 million visitors annually,[7] and has made many appearances in popular culture.
When erected in 1999 it was the world's tallest Ferris wheel, until surpassed first by the 160 m (520 ft) Star of Nanchang in 2006 and then the 165 m (541 ft) Singapore Flyer in 2008. Supported by an A-frame on one side only, unlike the taller Nanchang and Singapore wheels, the Eye is described by its operators as "the world's tallest cantilevered observation wheel".[8] It offered the highest public viewing point in the city[citation needed] until it was superseded by the 245-metre (804 ft)[9] observation deck on the 72nd floor of The Shard, which opened to the public on 1 February 2013.[10]
The London Eye adjoins the western end of Jubilee Gardens (previously the site of the former Dome of Discovery), on the South Bank of the River Thames between Westminster Bridge and Hungerford Bridge, in the London Borough of Lambeth.

I have finally reached 100 uploads! Something I never thought I will, but it has taken close to 5 years of intermittent activity. Still I feel glad that I stuck with it as I have learnt a lot in terms of places to visit, composition and techniques from a lot of people here for which I am very thankful...
Coming to this one, when I reached the Lands End, as luck would have it, the whole day was bright and sunny and as dusk neared, the rain started and to be honest it was almost incessant and torrential as well. I was told that in the UK, if the rain is pouring down like there is no tomorrow in summer, two things can happen. It would either continue to pour down or it would start clearing...
I always knew I would not visit this place again and as it was raining, there was a small shed nearby this spot where I took shelter. I literally went down on my knees and started praying for the rain to relent because this is such a beautiful place that I did not want to go back empty handed...Now I am not saying all my prayers get answered, but in about half an hour, the clouds started moving easterly as the breeze picked up.
I got about 20 mins to complete my shoot after which the clouds engulfed the area completely and it rained well into the night. I could not do much of experimentation as the clouds were building up all around me. So I unpacked, got a few shots and ran back to the room. Even in this shot, you can see that it is raining in the horizon. One of my favourite shoots as it not only involved a gorgeous location, but getting a shot of this place was an adventure in itself...The first of the rock formation is known as the Enys Dodnan and the one farther than that is the Armed Knight.
Thanks for viewing and have a nice weekend everyone!

Light on the Aramoana mole/breakwater and Taiaroa head from Heyward hill.
Partly because I was detained by a band of fantails, this walk to Heyward point took longer than expected ;-) Tho it did mean we got to see the last of the golden light.
The harbour (Otago) stretches 22km back to Dunedin city.
On average it is 2.3km wide.
The mole itself is 1200 metres long.
It starts at the beginning of the Aramoana Spit.
The channel for ships is quite narrow here and the spit/headland/mole make great places to view vessels arriving or leaving the harbour (small boats to cruise ship highrises).
And for a real aerial view:

A onda de Calor que tem arrasado o Brasil e principalmente a cidade do Rio de Janeiro, faz eu ficar mais convicto que prefiro o Inverno Carioca, que diferente das baixas temperaturas do Hemisfério Norte, tem dias em geral agradáveis e bonitos com uma temperatura media variando entre 25 a 32º, bem diferente das altíssimas temperaturas que temos registrado nas ultimos semanas, desanimado as pessoas de sair de casa as deixando como Leitões Cevados.
Mas essa condição atmosférica me proporcionou neste fim de semana um espetaculo que foi muito mais bonito ao vivo que nas imagens das fotos, que foi transformar a Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas num perfeito espelho d' agua, refletindo perfeitamente o Morro dos Cabritos como podemos ver na foto principal e na primeira foto da sequencia.
Como não estava ventando as aguas estavam paradas e diferente das outras fotos da sequencia que foram tiradas no mesmo ângulo, mas em dias e horarios diferentes, refletia perfeitamente o Morro dos Cabritos.
* Todas as fotos da sequencia estão abertas, pois já foram publicadas anteriormente, exceto a primeira que tambem foi tirada neste fim de semana.

“Backing up” to Bryce Canyon National Park.
I have been spending the last couple of weeks archiving and backing up my photos to a couple of online services. Hard drives fail and memories fade.
It has been a great treat to go down memory lane and to see how far I have gone with my photography. In the next couple of weeks I will be posting photos from my archives that I somehow overlooked and reprocessing some older ones.
This photo was taken back in 2007 when I was photographing all over the American Southwest like a maniac.
This is a sunrise shot at Bryce Canyon National Park in southwestern Utah. I spent a couple of days in the park waiting for some great light. On my first morning there was a great sunrise but no clouds. Ditto for the next morning. On my last morning it rained the night before and throughout the morning but I was rewarded with clouds and a magical "light show."

Happy Travels!
The winter doesn't want to finish... It is cold and bright outside. The sun makes beautiful effects on the icy trees sometimes.
Thank you for the support, my friends.
♫ I can show you the world, Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did You last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under on a magic carpet ride
A whole new world, A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no, or where to go, or say we're only dreaming
A whole new world, A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here, It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Unbelievable sights, Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world ♫
Desejo a todas as pessoas de boa vontade que visitam minha pagina diariamente ou não,

A lovely high angle view of the junction of Dame Street with College Green in Dublin. I would encourage you all to have a good old zoom in on this one. We may have been here before, but there's gorgeous detail to be enjoyed...

Loch Tarsan is a reservoir, dammed at both ends, not far from Dunoon. I've started to play around with the settings on my camera a bit (baby steps so please bear with me) I took this on aperture priority at 22. I'm pleased with it in that I think the focus is much sharper throughout the image than any other shots I've taken with this camera, but it's more or less wiped out all the detail in the shadowed area in the foreground. Any advice on how to set up the shot so that doesn't happen would be much appreciated, for example would I have been better doing a slightly longer exposure with a lower iso, or a much longer exposure with a tripod and filter, or something else altogether?

The Matterhorn (German), Cervino (Italian) or Cervin (French), is a mountain in the Pennine Alps. With its 4,478 metres (14,692 ft) high summit, lying on the border between Switzerland and Italy, it is one of the highest peaks in the Alps and its 1,200 metres (3,937 ft) north face is one of the Great north faces of the Alps.
The individual pieces of the chocolate bar Toblerone are claimed by its maker Kraft to be formed in the likeness of the Matterhorn.
Zermatt (French: Praborgne) is a municipality in the district of Visp in the German-speaking section of the canton of Valais in Switzerland.
It is located at the northern base of the Matterhorn in the Pennine Alps, about 10 km from the border with Italy.
Zermatt has a permanent population of around 5,500 people, although the actual population varies considerably through the seasons as tourists come and go. The village is situated at the end of Mattertal, a north-facing valley, at an altitude of 1,620m (5,315ft). The valley is a dead end; although the border with Italy is close, it cannot be crossed by road, as it traverses a glacier at an altitude of over 3,000m. Zermatt is the starting point of the Patrouille des Glaciers and the Haute Route.

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.

Sognefjord, Norway
Getty Images Collection
Norway's longest and deepest fjord, the Sognefjord is a geologic and panoramic marvel. The terrain soars upward from the watery depths of the North Atlantic, and many waterfalls punctuatue its edges with spray. The area is accessible only between May 18 and September 15.
The average width of the main branch of the Sognefjorden is about 4.5 kilometres (2.8 mi). Cliffs surrounding the fjord rise almost sheer from the water to heights of 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) and more.
A fjord is formed when a glacier cuts a U-shaped valley on the surrounding bedrock. Most fjords are deeper than the adjacent sea; Sognefjord, Norway, reaches as much as 1,300 m (4,265 ft) below sea level.

The perpetual ice of the Pitz Valley Glacier in Austria is an impressive summer experience. The Pitztal Glacier is considered to be one of the most beautiful glacial areas worldwide. The Wildspitze mountain of 3,774m and the Taschach Eisbruch which is almost within reach. The highest mountain of the Tyrolean mountain range. Our hike takes us to an unusual outing to the glacier world. At the glacier trail you can enjoy beautiful views of the glacier. We see natural sculptures shaped by the creative power of the glacier ice. Rock formations with obvious glacier grounding, glacier caves and glacier arches. An unique environment of untouched countryside and man-made landscape far beyond any mass tourism destination. The glacier trail brings us approx. in 2hrs to the Braunschweig alpine hut. The hut is located at 2759m in the outermost part of the Pitz Valley. The way back to Mittelberg - Mandarfen along the goods track takes about 2½ hrs.
The Pitztal glacier closes the valley of Pitztal. The summer is an ideal time for hiking. The Pitztal Valley is well known for its untouched, peaceful and ruggedly romantic landscape. At the glacier trail you can enjoy beautiful views of the glacier. You can see natural sculptures shaped by the creative power of the glacier ice. Rock formations with obvious glacier grounding, glacier caves and glacier arches. Glacial ice is a different color from regular ice. It is so blue because the dense ice of the glacier absorbs every other color of the spectrum except blue - so blue is what we see! The term Glacial Till refers to drift that is deposited directly from glacial ice and therefore not sorted. It is also referred to as Till and it is the mixture of rocks, boulders and soil picked up by a moving glacier and carried along the path of the ice advance. The glacier deposits this till along its path. Blue ice is revealed as the glacier melts and washed amounts of till away deposited by the rivers. The glacier trail brings you to the Braunschweig alpine hut.
Het eeuwige ijs van de Pitztal Glacier in Oostenrijk is ook indrukwekkende in de zomer. De Pitztaler gletsjer wordt beschouwd als één van de mooiste gletsjer gebieden wereldwijd. Mijn zoon BieJee is onder de indruk van de Wildspitze berg van 3774 m en de Taschach Eisbruch. De hoogste berg van de Tiroler bergen. Tegenwoordig is er een nieuwe kabelbaan naar de top. De Wildspitzbahn is de hoogste kabelbaan van Oostenrijk -3440m en heeft een adembenemend uitzicht op het nieuwe uitkijkplatform. Onze bergwandeling brengt ons naar een ongewone uitstapje naar de Pitztaler gletsjerwereld. Op de gletsjer kan je genieten van een prachtig uitzicht op de gletsjer. We zien ijssculpturen gevormd door de creatieve kracht van het gletsjerijs. Je kunt rotsen bewonderen die door de gletsjer zijn uitgeslepen tot gletsjergrotten en gletsjerspoorten. Het blauwe ijs komt voor wanneer sneeuw op een gletsjer valt en wordt samengeperst zodat het onderdeel wordt van de gletsjer. Gedurende de reis afwaarts van de gletsjer worden alle luchtbellen eruit geperst en neemt de grootte van de ijskristallen toe zodat ze helderder worden. Het ijs is om dezelfde reden blauw als dat water blauw kan zijn, namelijk door de absorptie van rood en geel licht zodat blauw licht overblijft. Morene is opeenhoping van bergpuin op de rand of aan het einde van een gletsjer, Het puin is door de gletsjers meegevoerd. Een unieke omgeving van ongerepte natuur zonder enige massatoerisme. De gletsjerpad brengt ons ongeveer in ong. 2 uur naar de Braunschweig berghut. De hut is gelegen op 2759m in het buitenste deel van het Pitztal. De weg terug naar Mittelberg - Mandarfen langs een steil bergpad duurt ongeveer 2½ uur.

So alt wie das Vermessungswesen, so alt ist auch der Wunsch die gemessenen Ergebnisse in Zahlen und Karten darzustellen. Leider wurde die Vermessung in den vergangenen Jahrhunderten auf Grund von politischen Verhältnissen oft nur kleinräumig und inhomogen betrieben. Die Folge waren unzählige, unterschiedliche Bezugs- und Koordinatensysteme, die einen Vergleich von Messungen über Grenzen hinweg sehr erschwerte. Doch auch in der heutigen Zeit, und dem Wandel des Vermessungswesens hin zum Einsatz von satellitengestützten Messverfahren, ist diese Problematik aktueller denn je.

It was a really wonderful day at the end of September but very cold and frosty on top of the mountains.
Mount Evans is a 14,265 feet (4,348 m) mountain in the Front Range region of the Rocky Mountains, in Clear Creek County, Colorado. It is one of 54 fourteeners (mountains with peaks over 14,000 feet (4,300 m)) in Colorado, and the closest fourteener to Denver. It is often compared to Pikes Peak — another Front Range fourteener within a short distance of a major city — which it exceeds in elevation by 154 ft (50 m).
The peak is one of the characteristic Front Range peaks, dominating the western skyline of the Great Plains along with Pikes Peak, Longs Peak, and nearby Mount Bierstadt. Mount Evans can be seen from over 100 miles away to the east, and many miles in other directions. Mount Evans dominates the Denver Metropolitan Area skyline, rising over 9,000 feet above the area. Mount Evans can be seen from points south of Castle Rock, up to (65 miles (105 km) south) and as far north as Fort Collins (95 miles (153 km) north), and from areas near Limon (105 miles (169 km) east). In the early days of Colorado tourism, Mount Evans and Denver were often in competition with Pikes Peak and Colorado Springs.
Summit Lake is a tarn which sits at 12,836 feet (3,912 m) altitude in a glacial cirque on the north face of Mount Evans and the east face of Mount Spalding. To the north, there is a col (12,855 feet/3918 m altitude) looking down into the chain of two cirques holding the Chicago Lakes at the headwaters of Chicago Creek. By one count that includes several unnamed lakes, Summit Lake is the 13th highest lake in the United States. In 1915, the USGS reported that Summit Lake was the highest lake in Colorado, at 12,740 feet. Later secondary sources occasionally report it as the highest lake in the United States.
The land was acquired by Denver in 1924 and incorporated into the Denver Mountain Parks system. It was declared a National Natural Landmark in April, 1965. (Wikipedia)

when i got a flickr account 3 years ago, my purpose was showing my pictures to a few friends of mine.
at some point, things must have got out of hand, 'cos yesterday i reached one million visits.
i didn't expect to meet so many nice, kind and funny people - besides of very talented photographers. i also learnt a lot about photography, and was inspired by many of you guys.
so, things turned out different than i expected, but i'm grateful for that, and i want to thank all of you with all my heart for your kindness, constant support and constructive criticism.
