Ah..clap your hands..

 

Body movin' body movin'

A1 sound' sound so soothing

Body movin' body movin'

We be getting down and you know we're crush groovin'

 

Now let me get some action from the back section

We need body rockin' not perfection

Let your back bone flip but don't slip a disc

And let your spine unwind just take a risk

I wanna' do the freak until the break of dawn

Tell me party people is that so wrong

The ship is docking inter-lockin

And up-rockin' electro-shocking

We're getting down computer action

Do the robotic satisfaction

Now all of y'all ah get off the wall

Have a ball and get involved with

 

Body movin' body movin'

A1 sound' sound so soothing

"Stand erect, arms down. Swing left arm big same with the right"

 

Flame on, I'm gone

I'm so sweet like a nice bon bon

Came out rapping when I was born

Mom said rock it 'til the break of dawn

Puttin bodies in motion 'cause I got the notion

Well like Roy Cormier with the coconut lotion

The sound of the music makin' you insane

You can't explain to people this type of mind frame

And like a bottle of Chateau Neuf Du Pap

I'm fine like wine when I start to rap

We need body rockin' not perfection

Let me get some action from the back section

 

Body movin' body movin'

A1 sound' sound so soothing

Body movin' body movin'

We be getting down and you know we're crush groovin'

 

"Left arm ready and one, and again, stand erect"

 

Mike D huhaa with the master plan

I said ooh my my and thank you ma'am

And when I grab the mic you scream Ooh god damn

The creme de la creme is who I am

MCA where have you been

Packed like sardines in the tin..tin

So kick off your shoes and put on your swim fins

'Cause when it comes to quarries I'm known to swim

And Adrock light up the place

And if you pull my card you pull the ace

And if you ask me turn up the bass

And if you play defender I could be your hyper space so

 

Body movin' body movin'

A1 sound' sound so soothing

Body movin' body movin'

We be getting down and you know we're crush groovin'

 

"You will do eight hops on the left, eight on the right

Four left four right, two left, two right, the one each

Left right, left right. Start and land on the balls of the feet

Left foot, ready it's one two three four five"

Today's my 4-year flickrversary, yay! And exactly today i received my 12 millionth view. Thanks everyone for a great time so far!

 

My first upload on flickr - don't laugh! ;-)

Here's a Vertorama i took on the same walk as yesterdays shots with Noodle the Golden Doodle. We'd been walking through a canopy of trees for about half an hour when we came out into dazzling sunlight and this amazing blue field of linseed (flax) flowers all topped off with a sprinkling of fluffy cumulus clouds and some majestic oak trees.

ياليت ان الزمن يرجع ورى ولا الليالي تدور

ويرجع وقتنا الأول وننعم في بساطتنا

 

زمان اول احس انه زمانًًًًٍٍ فيه صدق شعور

نحب ونخلص النيه.. وتجمعنا محبتنا

 

زمن ما فيه لا غيبه.. ولا حتى نفاق وزور

ياليته بس لو رجع ونسترجع طفولتنا

 

صغار قلوبنا بيضا..نعيش بعالمٍ محصور

ولا نعرف ابد اغراب ما غير عيال حارتنا

 

صحيح صغار فالتفكير لكن ماعلينا قصور

نخطط نكسر اللعبه.. وتسعدنا شقاوتنا

 

نروح المدرسه بدري ..ونضحك داخل الطابور

نحاول نزعج العالم في روحتنا وجيتنا

 

وعشان نأخر الحصه.. نخبي علبة الطبشور

نشاغب بس فالآخر.. تميزنا برائتنا

 

نحب الضحك والهيصه.. نحب انط فوق السور

نفرفش.. ليه مانفرفش مدام الضحك عادتنا

 

ولكن دارت الأيام.. وبان الخافي المستور

وصار الهم متعلي على قمة وسعادتنا

 

كبرناوصارت الدنيا تصف أحزاننا بالدور

وتهدينا الألم والهم غصب عن عين رغبتنا

 

تعبنا من بلاوينا ..أحد ضايق وأحد مقهور

وكلٍ غارق بهمه.. وفالآخر تشتتنا

 

وانا ما أقول غير الا وحلالاه الزمان يدور

ويرجع للورى فتره.. نعّدل وضع عيشتنا

Good to be back on Flickr!

 

I'm back earlier than expected. My original trip got cancelled because of snow storms but I managed to go for a much shorter trip to this beautiful place called Mussoorie which is in the northern part of India.

 

As you can figure out from this image, Mussoorie is a hill station (a very popular one at that) and a lot of people visit this place specially during the summers (which is now). It used to be a small village with just a few houses but now it is among the most popular destinations for people who want to escape the heat. We certainly did!

 

This is a view of the Shiwalik Ranges from one of the many view points in the town. Hope you guys like it!

--

About Mussoorie:

 

Mussoorie is a city and a municipal board, about 34 km from Dehradun and in Dehradun district in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. This hill station, situated in the foothills of the Himalaya ranges, is also known as the Queen of the Hills. The adjoining town of Landour, which includes a military cantonment, is considered part of 'greater Mussoorie', as are the townships of Barlowganj and Jharipani.

 

About Mussoorie:

 

Uttarakhand, formerly Uttaranchal, is a state located in the northern part of India. It is often referred to as the Land of Gods due to the many holy Hindu temples and cities found throughout the state, which are some of Hinduism's most spiritual and auspicious places of pilgrimage and worship. Known for its natural beauty, it was carved out of Himalayan and adjoining north-western districts of Uttar Pradesh on 9 November 2000, becoming the 27th state of the Republic of India. It borders the Tibet Autonomous Region on the north, Nepal on the east and the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh to the south, Haryana to the west and Himachal Pradesh to the north west.

I"m never going to catch up, I just realized this shot was taken one year ago today, oh well not in a hurry anyway. This is from one of the longest sunsets I ever witnessed. The colorful sky lasted so long I thought I was in Iceland. It was great because it allowed for for some running around and looking for alternative compositions. I found these 3 amigos that were screaming to be photographed. Here is my favorite image from that night.

 

I hope you are all having a great week and may the light be with you wherever you are. Thanks for your constant support and visits. Jave

A quiet afternoon at Arthur River was exciting to say the list. Some rough seas, an oncoming shower of rain in the distance and just that little peak of light through the clouds to light that foreground up just a touch. And of course, one rogue wave.

 

Can you go wrong at Arthur River? Absolutely not! I reccommend it to anyone to stay for a night - plenty of accommodation in the township, a little general store and fish and chip shop, and the Marrawah Tavern only a good 10ks away for a decent pub meal. Just watch out for the paddymelons and Bennett's Wallabies on the road at night - they tend to feed just off to the side of the road, and I stopped to standstill about 3 times, and they sauntered off back into the scrub (checking for cars first of course!).

 

The road around to the lookout is full of animals too, something to keep an eye out for and well, looking little furry creatures is just fun and exciting.

Arthur River

 

Arthur River is the name of both a river and a small township on the northern part of the West Coast of Tasmania, Australia. At the 2006 census, Arthur River and the surrounding area had a population of 121.

 

It is south of the town of Marrawah. Named after Sir George Arthur, Lieutenant Governor of Van Diemens Land (1824-36), the river is fed by several tributaries including the Frankland River, which was named after its discoverer, then the colony's surveyor-general. The region has been exploited commercially for timber and fisheries, but today is mostly a centre for tourism.

 

On the coast near the mouth of the Arthur River is a plaque titled The Edge of the World. North West Coast Tasmania, and a poem by tourism pioneer Brian Inder, who coined the term, referring to the coastline at Arthur River which is regularly lashed by the gales of the Roaring Forties.

I will be off to Cairns for a week in a few hours time so thought it will be appropiate to post a shot which I took in far north queensland (fnq) back in 2006 when i was working up there since 2004. cairns has always been a second home to me & I'm really excited to revisit the places i've spent so much time in the past. This post is also my way to start a 'queensland' set in my photostream.. its a long wait for me but finally i can put queensland in my photostream! :)

it to myself everyday!! I miss the dreams that we dreamt of. I miss the hopes that we hoped

together.

  

اعيش بعقل واهديت المحبه للبشر بهبال

واشوف ولا بقى حيي ٍ يعيش الحين في عقلـي

 

بقيت انت وبقى ضو الكلام بداخلي لازال

ينادي يرتعش بأقصى عيوني يقول ياخلـي

 

تعال ارسم على شمس السنين الحارقات ظـلال

تعال اجمع بقاياي الجريحه وردها لأصلـي

 

انا ويني اذا راحت عيونك وانتهت أمـال

انا ويني ومن غيرك يشيل همومي بس قلــي

 

اقول وينك ويتشظى صدى صوتي بوادي البال

يمر بين التفاصيل الحزينه ويختفـي ظــي

Seem to be posting a lot of yellow right now, but that's not a bad thing! ;)

Light is light. Many times I have heard versions of this mantra mostly by other photographers. Simply speaking, the purpose of light is to properly illuminate the subject in focus in tone and volume to the desire of the person behind the lens. I am not one of them. A well-known artist from the film era told me that “The person behind the lens must have the desire to be the whole scene where possible” It is to say that the photographer and her subject (whether a model or landscape) are no longer two opposing subjects, but are one reality.

 

And so to continue with the obvious, photography is literally to paint with light and without it we have no photography, thus to be one and the same (photographer and subject) the light is no longer just light.

 

This photo I believe is a fine example in which me and my model were actually in one reality. At the very moment when the place was lighted with thousands of candle lights we could simultaneously grasped the sensation of pure light as a symbol of truth, innocence and joy.

 

Photo was taken during the Saturday of Holy Light

 

La ciudad de Fátima, conocida por su enorme santuario a la virgen de mismo nombre, es destino de miles de peregrinos.

 

Cuando vi al peregrino caminando de rodillas estiré al máximo el zoom porque me encontraba algo lejos. Decidí pasarlo a blanco y negro para centrar la vista sólo en la persona y en la sombra, sin más distracciones.

Inmenso y precioso campo repleto de lavanda, que no deja de impresionarme. Ayer disfruté caminando entre tanta belleza, la sensación fue muy agradable.

Adoro su color y olor que me parece limpio, fresco y puro. Me gusta tener bolsitas de lavanda en los armarios o en los cajones, para que la ropa huela bien y a limpio.

Realmente una maravilla de la naturaleza... como tantas otras.

-------------------------------

Huge and beautiful field full of lavender, which never ceases to amaze me. Yesterday I enjoyed walking among such beauty, the feeling was very nice.

I love the color and smell that I find clean, fresh, pure ... I like having lavender sachets in closets or drawers for your clothes smell nice and clean.

Truly a wonder of nature ... like so many others.

So fixing my hair didn't work apparently :P

  

I was gonna write about how my hair is the result of a ton of backcombing and only 1 hairgrip, but then I realised I edited the poop out of it anyway so it wouldn't exaclty be truthful. It was pretty tall though...just not this tall...

 

I might add more details to this photo, 'cause I have a few more ideas for it, but I wanted to post it already.

 

You can probably see that Flickr sharpened the shit out of it. I don't mind...

Diese farbenfrohen Felder entdeckte ich in der Nähe von Nagold im Scharzwald. Während mich die leuchtend gelben Rapsfelder erfreuten flog ein Rabe / Krähe auf die Greifvogelstange und setzte sich darauf. Auch er schien diesen Anblick zu genießen ;-)).

Cataract Gorge

Launceston

 

This was the first dawn of our trip to Tasmania. It was a grey dawn as I wandered around the darkness of Cataract Gorge hoping to spot something in the dark (having never been there before). For the 5 minutes from 655 to 7am, this happened in the sky and I happened to be at the right place and the right time to capture it reflected it in the water.

"PLETNAS"

Los Alpes Julianos quizá sea la zona más bella de Eslovenia. Coronado por el impresionante Triglav de 2.864 metros, se hallan multitud de picos, lagos y sobre todo pequeños pueblos agrícolas anclados en el pasado, que en invierno quedan incomunicados por la nieve. Pero en verano forman un ambiente multicolor entre el verde de los bosques infinitos, los rojos y amarillos de las flores que nunca faltan en los balcones, y el marrón de la paja que se seca al sol.

Aquí se halla Bled, con uno de los tesoros más increíbles del lugar: su lago. Las aguas son cristalinas y patos y cisnes se encuentran por doquier. En las barcas tradicionales llamadas "Pletnas", se puede dar un agradable e inolvidable paseo. Los remeros se preparan desde muy temprana edad y se transmite la tradición de padres a hijos; son requisitos indispensables ser hombre y haber nacido en la isla.

La temperatura en verano es cálida (25-30 grados) mientras que en Invierno el frío riguroso hace que el lago esté helado durante más de 4 meses.

Y es en Invierno cuando el espectáculo se hace aun mayor. En las tardes de los días festivos, toda la población de Bled se va al Lago a pasear, patinar o jugar a Hokey.

  

Whenever you are presented with a great photographic oportunity there always seems to be someone that has walked before you. The textures and details in the sand were just fantastic and no matter how hard I tried for a different composition the teltail signs of human life were evident. Hey, come on....It's a beach & what better way to enjoy a perfect day than to kick off the shoes and feel the sand between your toes...Well I didn't as I had shoes on but you know what I mean.... :)

View on black please.

 

I thought I'd go all scary again. I was watching the Prague sunrise from the Charles Bridge (Karlův most) and had just changed to my 50mm to get some different shots.

 

Suddenly this bird swooped in and I rushed to catch it as it landed on this statue; one of the many beautiful statues that run along the bridge. Luckily there were some interesting clouds in the background to make it even spookier.

 

There has been very little done to this photo, save for the monochroming with Nik Silver Efex Pro and some contrast / curves in Potatoshop.

 

As this is a dark photo, it looks much more mysterious on black. (Press L). Bonus points for the first person to tell me where the title came from... (No googling!)

 

No group images in comments please.

 

Edit

I actually had no idea it was Friday 13th when I posted this, so it's a really spooky coincidence...

Saibi (Saibigain) is a mountain in Urkiola Natural Park of the communities Mañaria Abadiño (Biscay). It is 945 m high with a large cross on the summit. This is in memory of the Basque soldiers who died in 1937.

 

The Urkiola Nature Park is one of the most unique ecosystems in the Basque country and extends over Álava (15%) and Biscay (85%). You can find it in the mountains of Duranguesado. The first you see are his comb-shaped limestone formations, which have less vegetation and forms a very beautiful contrast to the lush forests in the lower areas. It is structured by the Sierra de Anboto and the Sierra de Aramotz, extending northwest and southeast. The highest point of the park is the Anboto summit with a height of 1,330 m. The human settlements go back to prehistory and today dominates the traditional animal husbandry and forestry exploitation in this area (www.spain.info).

SAIBI (Saibigain) ist ein Berg im Urkiola Naturpark in der Gemeinden Mañaria Abadiño (Biskaya). Er ist 945 m hoch mit einem großen Kreuz auf dem Gipfel. Dieses steht zur Erinnerung an die baskischen Soldaten, die im Jahr 1937 gefallen sind.

 

Der Naturpark Urkiola gilt als eines der einzigartigsten Ökosysteme des Baskenlandes und dehnt sich aus über Álava (15 %) und Vizcaya (85 %). Zu finden ist er in den Bergen von Duranguesado. Als erstes fallen einem seine kammförmigen Kalkformationen ins Auge, die kaum Vegetation aufweisen und einen sehr schönen Kontrast zu den üppigen Wäldern in den niedrigeren Gebieten bilden.

Seine Struktur wird durch die Sierra de Anboto und die Sierra de Aramotz geprägt, die sich Richtung Nordwesten bzw. Südosten erstrecken. Der höchste Punkt des Parks ist der Anboto-Gipfel mit einer Höhe von 1.330 m.

Die menschlichen Siedlungen gehen bis auf die Vorgeschichte zurück, und heute herrscht die traditionelle Viehzucht und die Forstnutzung in der Gegend vor (www.spain.info).

It wasn't a perfect day but I had to get the most that its sunset can give for it was all that my mind was set ..

Location: Niigata Ken, Japan

 

Not really that relevant, and certainly not a very deep connection today, but any excuse to hear an old classic…

 

So here's another atmospheric scene from along the banks of the River Yar (Through the ages she's heading west)

Generally I wouldn't post two so similar, but a few months have passed and this one still appeals. It isn't so outrageous an image, but there's a natural class about it that I keep returning to. So here it is.

 

I've got this location in mind for some light painting soon, but it's a little scary at night even with an imaginary dog). Last time I was down here at night, my flashlight chanced upon a couple of flip flops perfectly placed on a rock, way out at sea. With the moaning of the wind it sent a pretty horrific chill up my spine.

 

Hope everyone is having a great week!
