Este es el mas bello y fantastico faro que he visto. El faro de "Port la Nouvelle", en la
costa mediterránea Francesa. Siempre estuvo ahí, mostrando el camino para los
barcos que llegan y que se van. El gran Guardián, testigo solitario del tiempo.

Cales Coves has a small coarse beach reached by a short walk down a steep sided limestone gorge. It has two small beaches. Access is from the road between Cala’n Porter and Sant Climent but be warned! The road down to Cales Coves is about 1.5 km long and very bumpy. It is worth the 10-15 minute drive though, as you will discover once you arrive at the small parking area. Apart from the beautiful bays at Cales Coves you will also discover a few fascinating burial caves with its necropolis from 9 B.C. This beach sports more than 100 prehistoric caves that have made it famous. Some you can reach via a footpath over the cliffs, which also takes you over the rock head and on to a second cove. There are many caves high up in the walls of the gorge, making the exploration of this area very exciting for children and their mom & dad as well. Some caves are inaccessible. If you have the time and energy check out Cales Coves smaller second bay by clambering over the rock head, then go for a dip in the bay's other fork. Nudists use the rocky shelves and cave entrances and swim in the waters of the coves. Menorca is laid back and offers many golden opportunities for Naturists on its unspoiled shores. There are several naturist beaches around the island where Nudity is permitted but not required.
Cales Coves is an attractive bay situated on the South East coast of Menorca. Nudists use the rocky shelves and prehistoric cave entrances and swim in the clear waters of the coves getting "back to nature". Naturism is a lifestyle in harmony with nature. Menorca is laid back and offers many golden opportunities for Naturists on its unspoiled shores.
Het kost heel wat moeite er te komen – een ruige rit op vier wielen of een stevige wandeltocht tussen de olijfbomen van Son Vitamina – maar als u bij Cales Coves arriveert, wordt u begroet door één van de meest onvergetelijke plekken op Menorca. De kliffen die op deze beschutte baai neerkijken herbergen meer dan 100 grotten uit de Bronstijd, uit de rots gehakt en gebruikt als grafkamers en woningen – de doden waren de buren van de levenden. De oudste grotten dateren van de 9de eeuw v.Chr.; volg het voetpad over de rotsen aan uw rechterhand en u bereikt een tweede baai. Onderweg komt u langs recentere grotten - 4de eeuw v.Chr., met ramen, binnenplaatsen en cellen. Sommige dragen Romeinse inscripties, wat aangeeft dat ze ook na de Talaiot-tijd in gebruik waren. Er zijn zelfs grotten die nu nog bewoond worden door moderne holbewoners. U ziet ze water halen bij een bron en naakt in de kristallen zee baden. Van tijd tot tijd proberen de autoriteiten deze moderne holenmensen ertoe te bewegen te vertrekken, maar ze keren altijd terug. Als u een kijkje neemt in één van de onbewoonde grotten, ziet u hippieschilderijen met zonnen, manen en bloemen op de muren. De prehistorische bewoners hadden een goede plek uitgekozen – de hoek van de inhammen zorgt voor beschutting tegen de open zee. Dat maakt de baaien 's zomers ook goede ankerplaatsen voor pleziervaartuigen. De stranden zijn eerder kiezelig dan zanderig, maar u kunt vanaf de rotsen goed zwemmen. Cales Coves zijn een ideale bestemming voor rustzoekers en liefhebbers van zwemmen. Naturisme wordt dus in deze afgelegen baai toegestaan.
Find your way...
Si has perdido el rumbo escuchame,llegar a la meta no es vencer lo importante es el camino y en él,caer,levantarse,insistír,aprender.
Si has perdido un beso en un adiós,o huyes de un destino que te negó la oportunidad de ser felíz,jamás te des por vencido,levantate,el camino te espera.
no pierdas el rumbo...

My most fvrt City. The most vibrant port city -having a coast line of 48kms-situated on the south-west coast of the Indian peninsula.It is surrounded by the Western Ghats on the east and the Arabian Sea on the west. It was from Kochi that the colonization of India started.It was/is an important spice trading centre. Now it is a significant commercial and industrial hub of India because of the IT boom.
As a final note?
What makes this city beautiful..The people, the sea, Chinese fishing nets,multi culture, Jew street and kaikas biriyani (a famous shop which provides amazing biriyani),Mariane drive,cherai beach..and many more. For me,what makes this city close to my heart is, my days with my friends here..The short train journeys to this city, window shoppings, those second hand book sellers in the street ( A street version of ebay) and those long walks with friends..
Update: I had given a border earlier defining the boundaries( pixel's/datas )in this frame but after traveling with ajay visual panoram"s remarks about the frame above...yes i feel who am i to give boundaries for mother nature? We, the simple human being, always make this mistakes we define (or predefine) things, we try to define almost everything. We try to provide boundaries from ecology to emotions. We limit ourselves with well defined boundaries or self/ social imposed restrictions. Yes the process of elimination. When will we learn to think outside those boxes????
I deleted the boundaries given earlier to the frame..now it is more than pixels it is a beautiful profile of mother nature. I am glad I am part of mother nature...

"All men have the stars," he answered, "but they are not the same things for different people. For some, who are travellers, the stars are guides. For others they are no more than little lights in the sky. For others, who are scholars, they are problems. For my businessman they were wealth. But all the stars are silent. You--you alone--will have the stars as no one else has them--".
The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint Exupéry
For me? They are my dreams, my hopes, my wishes, my sighs and that very special quest for mistery that does never leave my soul.
Silenziosa luce delle stelle
"Gli uomini hanno delle stelle che non sono le stesse. Per gli uni, quelli che viaggiano, le stelle sono delle guide. Per altri non sono che delle piccole luci. Per altri, che sono dei sapienti, sono dei problemi. Per il mio uomo d'affari erano dell'oro. Ma tutte queste stelle stanno zitte. Tu, tu solo avrai delle stelle come nessuno ha... "
Il Piccolo Principe, Antoine de Saint Exupéry
Per me? Sono sogni, le speranze, i desideri e quella voglia di mistero che non mi lascia mai.

Una delle attrazioni turistiche più curiose ed affascinanti di Vienna è la casa "Hundertwasserhaus" costruita dall'architetto e pittore austriaco Friedensreich Hundertwasser.
E' nata come casa “popolare” per 50 famiglie povere delle capitale austriaca. Per queste famiglie l’architetto ha voluto creare un ambiente che fosse come la vita, non lineare, non razionale, colorata e multiforme, qualcosa di molto diverso dallo stile classico della Vienna imperiale
Ad oggi la struttura è interamente gestita dal comune di Vienna che mette in affitto i 50 interni al prezzo di 5 euro al metro quadro. Il comune, previ controlli, verifica la reale necessità della famiglia e predilige quei nuclei in cui è presente un individuo particolarmente interessato ed attivo nel mondo artistico contemporaneo.

Hope everyone is well, apologies, looks like flickr absence could be a while, current estimate is somewhere between 2 weeks and 5 years before life gets normal again. Finding it tough with William having pretty bad Colic at night, and next to no sleep, any suggestions are very welcome!!
I did get a few photos of him recently, and will hopefully find time to share something soon, had a load of coastal scenes ready to post for Getty so i'll be sharing them first.
Thanks again for all the kind words and best wishes over the last week or so

Watch the Before-and-After Comparison to see where this photo comes from!
Success story:
> This shot is the 2nd most interesting photo uploaded on February 12th 2011 - has not been explored though
> It is among the top 10 HDR uploads of all times (last check: May 2011)
> It is an Editor's Pick at "HDR Spotting".
The story of this photo:
This HDR vertorama was taken in the Basilica St. Martin in Weingarten, Germany. This wonderful church was built between 1715 and 1724. The white interior creates a fantastic light, and when the sun is shining, this place lights up. This is a classical example of a scene that requires HDR. In a normal shot, you could never capture how the sun shines on those pillars without the rest of the shot being hopelessly underexposed.
While processing this shot, I discovered that my usual HDR Vertorama technique lead to a strange problem: Usually, I stitch the 32bit HDRs in Photoshop before the tone-mapping. However, I found that Photoshop drastically loses details in the highlights during this process. I tried it with this shot and the spots where the sun shines on the pillars became big ugly white blobs without any chance of recovering details. The information in these spots was just lost. Strange! I did not find any explanation or a way to cure this yet. Photoshop just mysteriously loses this data. If you have an explanation, let me know. To avoid this effect, I have tone-mapped the individual images first and then stitched them in Photoshop.
Take a look at my "HDR Cookbook"! It contains some more information on my techniques.
How it was shot:
> Taken handheld (Read more about the technique!)
> 5x3 autobracketed shots (three exposures each with 0, -2, +2 ev)
> Camera: Nikon D90
> Lens: Sigma 10-20mm F3,5 EX DC HSM
> Details can be found here
How it was stitched and tonemapped:
> Created 5 tone-mapped images directly from the RAW files using Photomatix Pro 4.0 (Detail Enhancer)
> Saved the images as 16bit TIFs
> Stitched the 5 TIFs using Photoshop
> Take a look here for a more detailed description.
How it was post-processed:
> Post-processing was done in Photoshop
> Topaz Adjust on the entire image to get back the colors and the details [details]
> Topaz Denoise (more aggressively on the white walls) [details]
> Topaz Infocus on the entire image for sharpening
> Saturation layer on the white regions (desaturation)
> Saturation layer on the windows (master and blues)
> Levels layer on the upper middle part of the ceiling (masked with an oval selection to brighten this area)
> Saturation layer on the paintings (master and reds)
> Vibrance layer on the paintings (for a more even saturation)
> Color balance layer on the paintings (for cooling the colors a bit)
> Curves layer on the floor (enhancing the reflective look)
> Curves layer on some parts of the ceiling (more contrast)
> Vignette effect using a masked fill layer [details]
> Sharpening using the high-pass filter [details]
> Watermarking

The final morning of our phenom female photog weekend (Myself, Jean Day, & Robin Black).
The weather looked dreary & rainy before sunrise. Looked like we would get skunked. Jean & I opted to take the risk & hike into Point Lobos Sate Reserve.
It stopped raining, but no sunrise color.
We did see a lot of great wave action though.
Can't wait to return here in better weather conditions.
Thanks for stopping by to have a look. =)
Amour
Quand l’Amour frappe à notre porte
Alors tout nous transporte
Amour rend fort et fragile
Comme de l’argile
Il donne tout à la fois
Larmes et sourire
Parfois
Souvent même pire
Il nous secoue
Nous traîne dans la boue
Nous donne souffrance
Parfois espérance

This is a different winter scene I've taken in April 1998 in Boulder, USA with my old Minolta SLR and now scanned.
Boulder is the county seat and most populous city of Boulder County and the 11th most populous city in the state of Colorado. Boulder is located at the base of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains at an elevation of 5,430 feet (1,655 m), Boulder is 25 miles (40 km) northwest of Denver.
The United States Census Bureau estimates that in 2008 the population of the city of Boulder was 94,268, while the population of the Boulder Metropolitan Statistical Area was 293,161.
Boulder is famous for its status as one of the most liberal cities in Colorado, its colorful Western history, being a choice destination for Hippies in the late 1960s, and as home of the main campus of the University of Colorado, the state's largest university. (Source: Wikipedia)
Warmly recommended to view Large On Black
Dies ist eine andere Winteransicht, die ich im April 1998 in Boulder, USA, mit meiner Spiegelreflex aufgenommen und jetzt gescannt habe.
Boulder (englisch für Felsblock) ist eine Stadt im Boulder County im US-Bundesstaat Colorado, Vereinigte Staaten, an den Ausläufern der Rocky Mountains. Boulder liegt etwa 45 km nordwestlich von Denver.
Boulder ist die größte Stadt im County und die achtgrößte Stadt in Colorado. Die University of Colorado at Boulder ist die bedeutendste Universität des Universitätensystems von Colorado. Fast ein Drittel der Einwohner Boulders sind Studenten – dies prägt die Atmosphäre der Stadt, die als liberal gilt. Das Bildungsniveau der Einwohner ist überdurchschnittlich hoch.
Aufgrund seiner Höhenlage von über 1600 m und seines trockenen Hochgebirgsklimas mit fast 300 Tagen Sonnenschein im Jahr wird es gerne als Trainingsort für Ausdauerathleten genutzt. Möglichkeiten zu Wintersportaktivitäten sind vielfältig vorhanden. (Quelle: Wikipedia)

This is my best shot from last summer trip to Sicily. I kept it unposted for so long, because I am about to be away from flickr for a couple of weeks... so I wanted you guys to have something that I think it will be nice to look for so long. I am going west, as the beautiful light of this sunset shows...
:)
see you soon!
Lontano
Questa è la mia foto migliore fra quelle del viaggio in Sicilia. Non l'ho pubblicata prima perchè starò assente da flickr per un paio di settimane e per questo motivo ho voluto lasciarvi qualcosa che reputo bello da guardare per un tempo così lungo. Vado ad Ovest, verso la bella luce di questo tramonto...
:)
A presto!

Tundra swans are on their way to the resting places on the shores that they use each winter. A couple of thousands come as passing migrants, and their winter quarters are in the wetlands of the Netherlands. The Tundra Swan is a small Arctic swan. The Mute Swan with the orange bill is more known in the Netherlands. The breeding range of the Tundra swans extends across the coastal lowlands of Siberia. They start to arrive on the breeding grounds around mid-May, and leave for winter quarters around the end of September. According to National Geographic when migrating these birds can fly at altitudes of even 8 km; Tundra Swan flocks usually fly in V formation. The Tundra Swan remains far less known; the European winter population was estimated only at 15,000. About 15% of the adults die each year from various causes, and thus the average lifespan in the wild is about 10 years. The Tundra Swans mate in the late spring, usually after they have returned to the nesting grounds; as usual for swans, they pair monogamously until one partner dies. Should one partner die long before the other, the surviving bird often will not mate again for some years, or even for its entire life.
Photo of Tundra swans taken at the IJmeer near Durgerdam - the Netherlands. The flight call of the latter is a low and soft ringing bark, bow-wow...; the Whistling Swan gives a markedly high-pitched trisyllabic bark like wow-wow-wow in flight.
De Kleine Zwaan is een kwetsbare vogelsoort waarvan er nu nog maar 15.000 in Europa rondvliegen. Kleine Zwanen zijn Noordpoolcirkel broedvogels die elk jaar een tocht van 8.000 km op en neer maken tussen hun broedgebieden in het uiterste noorden van Rusland rond de poolcirkel en hun overwinteringgebieden in NW-Europa. Nederland en Engeland spelen daarin een hoofdrol. Specifiek ook het noordelijk deel van Noord-Holland met zijn uitgestrekte akkers, heeft een sleutelpositie tijdens de trektocht. Kleine zwanen verschillen onder andere van de ons bekendere knobbelzwaan door hun grootte. De kleine zwaan wordt zo'n 127 centimeter, en de knobbelzwaan wel 150 centimeter. Anders dan bij de wilde zwaan heeft de kleine zwaan minder geel op de snavel. Kleine zwanen zijn vanaf oktober tot maart te zien in Nederland. Ze komen in Nederland meestal voor in kleine tot heel grote troepen. Daarin zijn wel nog duidelijk de gezinnetjes te onderscheiden, dus wijfje en mannetje met één, soms twee of drie jongen en niet zelden zonder jongen. Tegenwoordig vinden ze bij aankomst in het najaar nog voldoende voedsel kranswieren en foneinkruidknollen, maar als het voedsel in het IJsselmeer later schaarser wordt wijken ze uit naar vooral grasland en soms ook naar akkers met oogstresten, zoals bieten. Op Europese schaal wordt de kleine zwaan beschermt door de vogelrichtlijn, in Nederland door de Flora- en Faunawet.

I also have a normal photo of this building, but somehow i really liked all the 'curved' version more.

La gente considera l'acqua del lago Pushkar come molto sacra ed il rituale di presa dei tuffi nell'acqua santa è creduto di concedere la salvezza. Il tuffo santo è più promettente su Kartik Poornima. Anche prima dell'alba, la gente discende i ghats, aiutati “dai panda (sacerdoti del Brahmin) per prendere il bagno sacro. Le offerte della noce di cocco, dei fiori e dei contanti sono fatte al lago ed ai sacerdoti.

El Carrión nace a 2.220 msnm, en la Laguna de Fuentes Carrionas, en el término municipal de Velilla del Río Carrión, dentro de un circo glaciar rodeado de cumbres de más de 2.400 m de altitud.
En la ciudad de Palencia el río se abre en varios brazos dos veces formando dos islas de gran tamaño y tres más pequeñas. El Carrión fue desde tiempos muy remotos el centro de la vida capitalina, el Puentecillas (el puente más antiguo de la ciudad, de origen romano) ya permitía el paso desde la fachada principal de la catedral al Sotillo de los Canónigos (situado en la segunda isla más grande).

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was a Poet, Philosopher, Musician, Writer, Educator, and the first Indian Nobel Laureate for Literature (1913). Tagore has been labelled the "King of Poets" for his beautiful and exquisite poetry. In particular Tagore had a deep love and reverence for nature which he was able to express through lyrical poetry.
Tagore was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1913 for his book Gitanjali. W.B.Yeats in particular was deeply impressed with this work and wrote an introduction. With this honour Tagore became famous in both India and the West. In 1915 Tagore was knighted by King George, however Tagore was to return his knighthood in protest of the Amritsar massacre (1919)
As a writer, Tagore primarily worked in Bengali, but after his success with Gitanjali, he translated many of his other works into English..
Flooded floodplains along the river IJssel (Rhine delta) in the Netherlands
Last month (December 2010 and early January 2011) it snowed and rained a lot in the basin of the river Rhine (Switzerland, Germany, France and the Netherlands). The meltwater and rainwater has given flooding in the Rhine delta. Every few years there have been floods in the floodplain of the river IJssel. The IJssel, also called Gelderse IJssel, is the northern branch of the Rhine delta in the Dutch provinces of Gelderland and Overijssel.
Overstroomde uiterwaarden langs de IJssel bij Leuvenheim tussen Brummen en Spankeren
De afgelopen maand (december 2010 en begin januari 2011) heeft het eerst veel gesneeuwd en daarna geregend in het stroomgebied van de Rijn (Zwitserland, Duitsland, Frankrijk en Nederland).
Het smeltwater en het regenwater hebben flinke overstromingen gegeven in de Rijndelta. Ook bij de Gelderse IJssel, de meest noordelijke tak van de Rijndelta van Arnhem in Gelderland tot Kampen in Overijssel.

On this photograph the Comments were deactivated......this was to see how a brighter copy looks here but with the bad connection , there were glitches and it showed up as public instead of private.
This is a brighter version of the photograph posted earlier. Printing the image shows up the pictures to be dark and the sheer power and dynamism that a back lit screen that shows high contrasts even in the darker areas tends to deceive the eyes.
So to get a new print done, this photo has been brightened a tad in the paint brush area and a bit of the face.
