Mont Blanc (French) or Monte Bianco (Italian), meaning "White Mountain", is the highest mountain in the Alps, Western Europe and the European Union. It rises 4,810.45 m (15,782 ft)[2] above sea level and is ranked 11th in the world in topographic prominence. It is also sometimes known as La Dame blanche (French for "the White Lady") or Il Bianco (Italian for "the White One").

The mountain lies between the regions of Aosta Valley, Italy, and Haute-Savoie, France and the location of the summit is on the watershed line between the valleys of Ferret and Veny in Italy and the Arve Valley in France.

The two most famous towns near Mont Blanc are Courmayeur in Aosta Valley, Italy, and Chamonix in Haute-Savoie, France—the site of the first Winter Olympics. A cable car ascends and crosses the mountain from Courmayeur to Chamonix.

Begun in 1957 and completed in 1965, the 11.6 km (7¼ mi) Mont Blanc Tunnel runs beneath the mountain between these two countries and is one of the major trans-Alpine transport routes.

The Mont Blanc massif is popular for mountaineering, hiking, skiing and snowboarding.

The summit of Mont Blanc is a thick, perennial ice and snow dome whose thickness varies, so no exact and permanent summit elevation can be determined. But accurate measurements have been made. For a long time its official elevation was 4,807 m (15,771 ft). Then in 2002, the IGN and expert surveyors, with the aid of GPS technology, measured it to be 4,810.40 m (15,782 ft 2 in).

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont_Blanc

The Aiguille du Midi (3,842 m) is a mountain in the Mont Blanc massif in the French Alps.

The cable car to the summit, the Téléphérique de l'Aiguille du Midi, was built in 1955 and held the title of the world's highest cable car for about two decades. It still holds the record as the highest vertical ascent cable car in the world, from 1,035 m to 3,842 m. There are two sections: from Chamonix to Plan de l'Aiguille at 2,317 m and then directly, without any support pillar, to the upper station at 3,777 m (the building contains an elevator to the summit). The span of the second section is 2,867 m measured directly, but only 2,500 m measured horizontally. It thus still is the second longest span width, measured directly.

I had a whole other fence planned for today ... until I realized it was Friday the 13th!! In light of that news, I decided that a fence ---> photographed in a cemetery ---> on Halloween ---> was the more fitting fence to post!

So here it is, complete with spooky cobwebs, textures from the tombstones overlaid on the background ... and a bonus snap of a suspicious photographer character lurking in my viewfinder {image in comments}!

Happy "Friday the 13th" Fence Friday!!

I hope everyone has a better day than Jacob did!

This image was taken about 20 minutes after an earlier post, titled “Setting into the Mist”. Therefore, it seemed fitting to post this version as a part 2.

The mist had now completely engulfed the valley between my camera and Mt. Rainier. About 30 minutes after this image was captured you could have stood at this exact spot, and you would have seen absolutely nothing but mist.

Times Square is a major commercial intersection in the borough of Manhattan in New York City, at the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue and stretching from West 42nd to West 47th Streets. The extended Times Square area, also called the Theatre District, consists of the blocks between Sixth and Eighth Avenues from east to west, and West 40th and West 53rd Streets from south to north, making up the western part of the commercial area of Midtown Manhattan.

Formerly named Longacre Square, Times Square was renamed in April 1904 after The New York Times moved its headquarters to the newly erected Times Building, which is now called One Times Square and is the site of the annual ball drop on New Year's Eve. Times Square, nicknamed 'The Crossroads of the World' and 'The Great White Way', has achieved the status of an iconic world landmark and is a symbol of New York City and the United States.

The northern triangle of Times Square is technically Duffy Square, dedicated in 1937 to Chaplain Francis P. Duffy of New York City's "Fighting 69th" Infantry Regiment; a memorial to Duffy is located there, along with a statue of George M. Cohan, and the TKTS discount theatre tickets booth. The stepped red roof of the TKTS booth also provides seating for various events. The Duffy Statue and the square were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.

Times Square has been featured countless times in literature, on television, in films – including the 1980 film Times Square, which featured a punk rock/new wave soundtrack – in music videos and recently in video games. An immediately recognizable setting, Times Square has been frequently attacked and destroyed in a number of movies, including Knowing, when a solar flare destroys New York City, Deep Impact, when a tsunami created from a meteor impact destroys New York City, Stephen King's The Stand, where the intersection is overcome by total anarchy, and Transformers; Revenge of the Fallen. Films have also employed the opposite tactic, depicting the typically bustling area as eerily still, such as in Vanilla Sky, as well as the post-apocalyptic I Am Legend, in which Will Smith and his dog go hunting for deer in the deserted urban canyon. Times Square was also depicted in the 2011 movie, New Year's Eve.

Firstly, a very happy new years to everybody!!

Its great to be back on Flickr after a long break. I had a very eventful and exciting road trip across some of the most untouched parts of India. It was a great experience to say the least but our car broke down a couple of times and we wasted a lot of time trying to get the vehicle repaired. But on the whole, it was a fascinating journey and I will be sharing some of the picture with you in the coming days.

We ended our trip in Goa, which is arguably the party capital of India. We spent our new years eve with a bunch of friends in Goa before heading back home. The image you see if from the new years eve, the last sunset of the year 2011.

This is when we bid goodbyes to the year 2011 only to welcome the new year, which brings a lot of surprising and exciting times ahead of us.

Hope all of you have a wonderful year ahead, filled with joy and excitement. I will catchup with your streams today.

Wishing everyone all the best in 2012.

Please enjoy another view of Mount Rainier, the tallest mountain in Washington State. From this vantage, the dormant volcano is actually 90 miles (145 kilometers) away!

Wishing you all a very peaceful and enjoyable remainder of 2011!

The Grossglockner High Alpine Road is a panoramic road in Austria. The most famous route through the Alps ends just before the jewel in the Hohe Tauern national park's crown: the highest mountain and the largest glacier in Austria, the Großglockner 3,798 m and its glacier, the Pasterze. You will have a driving and nature experience of a special kind on 48 kilometres of high alpine road with 36 bends, and an altitude ascent to 2,504 metres! You pass through a unique world of mountains with blossoming alpine meadows, fragrant mountain forests, massive cliffs and eternal ice to the foot of the Grossglockner, the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe.

The Grossglockner high Alpine road in Austria is 48 kilometers of pure driving pleasure. The route is described in the brochure as a Bikers Heaven. The Großglockner Hochalpenstraße Road was built between 1930 and 1935, to fight unemployment and boost tourism in Salzburg. It is in within the Nationalpark Hohe Tauern. Closed in winter until end of October to beginning of May. Photo taken from the car park of the Edelweisspitze. A beautiful panoramic view on the Fuscher Törl, a 2428 meters high mountain pass.

De Großglockner Hochalpenstraße is één van de mooiste bergwegen ter wereld en zeker de moeite waard om te bezichtigen. Deze panoramische tolweg verbindt de deelstaat Salzburg met Karinthië. De 47,8 km lange weg leidt middenin het Hohe Tauern National Park naar de hoogste berg van Oostenrijk, de Großglockner 3.798m en zijn gletsjer, de Pasterze. De Pasterzegletsjer is wel 10 km lang en heeft een oppervlakte van bijna 20 m2. De Großglockner Alpenstraße voert je door een wild en rotsachtig landschap. Maar liefst 36 haarspeldbochten zorgen ervoor dat je uiteindelijk tot een hoogte van 2.504 meter stijgt. Tijdens de rit wordt je getrakteerd op adembenemende uitzichten. Ook kun je genieten van de aanblik van enkele honderden bergtoppen van boven de 3.000 meter. Onderweg op de Großglockner Alpenstraße kun je eventueel stoppen bij verschillende uitzichtplaatsen en informatiepunten. Voor kinderen zijn er speeltuintjes en ook is het mogelijk om in echte sneeuw te spelen. Er zijn tevens 2 kabelbanen die je de mogelijkheid bieden om nog meer van de mooie omgeving te bekijken.

"In the shadow of the city, the light glows brightest."

I took this shot right before I left for Hawaii and I felt like taking a break from seascapes. I went for 6 shots with the camera in the portrait position. I overlap by about 1/5 of a frame when capturing the panoroma. I do this because when it comes time to stitch, I want as much source image as possible to sample from to take out those infamous trails in the water from the constant ferry, coastguard, and freighter traffic around the island. I do my stitching in Photoshop CS5 on the “reposition” setting. After the rendering is complete, I look for the seams and then I overlay the original source image on top of the panoramic image and mask in where the seams are visible. At least with lines in the water, after you get the knack of it, its quite forgiving. Sometimes the reflections can make it look like there's a seam where there isn't because of the way light hits the miniwaves and currents. The hard stuff is when you have a weird seam on hard structures such as building and bridges. The reason for this is in water or sky, often you can mask away the hard line in the seam at 100% opacity then feather it out by reducing the opacity of your brush. You can’t do that for hard objects, if you do you’ll wind up with transparent building and the like - not too pretty. I’m definitely better at the process than I was a year ago, so its all practice. Don’t forget to zoom in at 100%+ to look for the smallest seams. Panoramas can be ton’s of pixels and even the smallest seam gets big once you’ve printed it 20x60 inches!

The side-effects to using 7 shots to create the panorama is that it takes 3 min to make all the exposures and the light will change during that time unless a pure nighttime shot. To accentuate this I started on the right side where I knew it would be brightest (also where most of the ocean traffic comes from so you can stay ahead of them) and moved to the left. I did play with ISO slightly to adjust exposure as I panned left to keep the things close in terms of brightness. But I wanted it to be dark and glowy on the left. If you don’t, or have different lighting situations, pan the other way for more even light - you’ll start in the dark area when it’s brightest and move to the light area when it’s darkest. Changing the ISO only changes the noise level and not water smoothness (shutter speed) nor DoF (aperture) and with the 5D II, anything below 320 looks very very similar unless when viewed at 100+%.

Thanking you in advance for your views/comments/favs =)

Bandon Beach + Moonlight + 8 Minute Exposure = Enjoy!

This was the sunrise over Seattle this morning, my friends. It was one of the most phenomenal sunrises I had seen in months. You can see Mount Rainier, Washington State’s tallest mountain (and dormant volcano) that dominates the horizon on unbelievably clear days such as this one.

An impromptu decision to curtail my morning workout at the gym gave way to serendipity, which led me to capture this image today. If I had followed my regular routine this morning, I would have completely missed this.

This image was taken from the balcony of my apartment. Enjoy!

I love our northern light, with its softness of tone and colour. Near objects, like the stones above, appear sharp and detailed whilst those only slightly distant are hazily soft and recede in paleness.

*Crummock Water is two and a half miles long, three quarters of a mile wide and 140ft deep. The River Cocker is considered to start at the north of the lake, before then heading into Lorton Vale. The hill of Mellbreak runs the full length of the lake on its western side; as Alfred Wainwright described it 'no pairing of hill and lake in Lakeland have a closer partnership than these'.

It is owned by the National Trust.

Here is another shot from our trip to the backwaters in Kerala. this is what people living in these areas see on a daily basis. The beautiful Sunset across the array of coconut tress makes for an enchanting scene and for me, a first time visitor to this part of the world, it was nothing less than magical.

On the technical front, I'm not completely happy with this image. The light was too harsh and was difficult to handle the exposure. This is the best I could achieve after processing it but some good GND filters would have made my life easier and I'm planning to invest in them something soon.

Have a wonderful day ahead, my friends.

Even if the might of the skies envelope us with anger, I will love you.

Even if the wind blows us to directions far and unreachable, I will love you.. forever.
