"Build a little fence of trust around today; Fill the space with loving deeds, And therein stay.

Look not through the sheltering bars Upon tomorrow; God will help thee bear what comes of joy and sorrow."

First of all, many thanks to everyone who shared their thoughts on my first light painting Love At First Light, which has this evening appeared on the Flickr Blog!

The SOOC version of this shot is below. It's becoming more and more common with the misty weather that my night shots around Rickmansworth (on the edge of London) take on this tequila/nicotine stain from the sodium street lighting (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium-vapor_lamp if you're interested - had a few messages on this front last time I mentioned it!).

Whilst it started off as alluring, I've found it can be a little excessive and overpowering, as shown below. This shot only really came to life after I applied to the lower half of the frame a wholesale desaturation and cooling filter in the white balance.

There's a semi-ironic theme to my last few weeks pictures where the SOOC version needs processing to make it look less processed! This was definitely one of these.

It's a 520 second exposure, taken with the tripod stood on the ice itself. Whilst I crouched, worrying.

Black does boost its impact!

Since it was taken the ice has thawed, and yet, even as I type these words, the mercury is hurtling plumb down into Hades, and the winter cometh once more.

Hope everyone is having a great week - just back after a few days off and catching up now.

After some requests, we will stop and rest a little on that bench...but not for too long: we’re so close to our destination!

The Brooklyn Bridge is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States. Completed in 1883, it connects the New York City boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn by spanning the East River. With a main span of 1,595.5 feet (486.3 m), it was the longest suspension bridge in the world from its opening until 1903, and the first steel-wire suspension bridge.

Originally referred to as the New York and Brooklyn Bridge, it was dubbed the Brooklyn Bridge in a January 25, 1867 letter to the editor of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle,[5] and formally so named by the city government in 1915. Since its opening, it has become an iconic part of the New York skyline. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964[4][6][7] and a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark in 1972.[8] - Wiki

Guru Bimbabati Devi is one of the most acclaimed dancers of Manipur. She is the daughter of Guru Kalabati Devi who is a well known name in the world of Classical dance.

Every year Konark Festival is held at an Open Air Theater where the famous Sun Temple makes the back drop. In front of the 13th century architectural marvel India's best Classical dancers enthrall a large gathering of Desi & International audience for three days. Incredible Experience !

most of the snow has melted already.. almost as quickly as it came. i hope it's not the last of the snow this winter.

Two hearths burn firewood in a still to make alcohol from the juice of cashew apples.

Goa is known for its beaches, its food and the non interfering locals who do not bother the semi clad or ill clad or not clad touristas seeking their moments in the sun and the sand. Imagine a beach in North India, it would be a riot of sorts with rape pillage and a fight every 5 minutes.

The food is good and the booze is still cheap. Goa has its own trademark local brew called Fenni that is distilled from the juice of the cashew apples. The fruits come in season in April and May and the valleys waft with the persistent sweet and cloying bouquet of the delicate but strong cashew apple juice.

The apples are picked and then crushed and fermented and then distilled to produce "urrack" which is the first distillate and thereafter equal portions of the urrack and fresh ferment are distilled again to give you Fenni.

Visitors without fail, buy an obligatory bottle of fenni from the liquor shops that abound in Panjim and elsewhere and carry it as a souvenir back to wherever they came from. Most consume it to only crib about the harsh taste and the rather strong smell that exudes out of the alcohol.

It is not a personal favourite of mine. The general fenni that people buy from the shops is in reality of a very poor quality and adulteration is the norm.

It is said that genuine fenni is not so strong in its smell quotient and is smooth as silk.

Ah....Chicago! My second full day here and I'm loving it as always! There is just something about this city that i love more than anything! I have been looking forward to this trip now that I have a nice camera and have been envisioning all of the cool pictures I want to take. However, it is sort of difficult to take pictures when your fingers are numb and the wind is blowing at 1 million miles an hour! How do those of you who live in the cold all the time do it?!!

It is a blustery 27 degrees outside and I'm nice and warm in Starbucks enjoying a chai and a muffin. My hotel does not have free internet (boo!!) and I have been a pretty bad flickr-friend so far this week. I will be catching up on your streams as much as possible today!

Well, I know this is just a picture of blurry lights, but I didn't want to take my gloves off to focus and so this is what I got! I decided that I liked the result anyway :-)

Happy Bokeh Wednesday!!

Vous avez surement déjà vu ces deux photos sur mon "stream", dans d'autres formats ou teintes.

Deux photos, qui m'ont pas mal permis de me faire la main sur "Lightroom" mais aussi de récupérer quelques hits sur ma galerie, j'avoue :p

Pour clôturer cette série un dernier traitement et un petit récap. de l'ensemble.

"Llightroom" (LR) me permet aujourd'hui de gérer mon travail de post production de A à Z. Si jamais vous débutiez dans la photo et/ou que vous n'aviez pas encore fait votre choix, je vous le recommande!

Merci encore à tous ceux qui m'ont donné leur avis sur ces différents traitements, malgré la répétition!

Très bonne soirée à vous :o)

=== Google translate :

You've probably already seen these pictures on my "stream", in other sizes or colors.

Two pictures that allowed me to train on "Lightroom" but also get some hit on my gallery, I must admit: p

To close this series the last edition and a small recap. of the whole.

With "Llightroom" (LR) I can now manage my post production work from A to Z. If ever you are just starting in photography and / or that you have not yet made your choice,I recommend it!

Thank you again to everyone who gave me their views on these various treatments, despite the repetition!

Very good evening to you o:)

Another one of the cell/mobile phone pictures from this weekend's hiking. Apologies for the loss of meaningful EXIF data - I'm importing these from my iPhone by email as it is refusing to sync, and for some reason this has stripped the file of the most interesting data.

This was from a really classy non-munro horseshoe just down from the Corran ferry. Whilst the terror-induced ice and snow of the day before (see www.flickr.com/photos/flatworldsedge/5198977853/) ruled out any proper camera kit, I'm reticent that I didn't take the proper stuff on this walk. That said, we were on the hills for 6-7 hours and the last descent was in the gloaming if not the dark. With a proper DSLR, it'd have added at least an hour and maybe tipped things into disaster.

In any event, the iPhone bore up quite well, even if the file doesn't live up to much magnification, especially in the upper reaches of the sky. It does look better pre-upload to Flickr; the first image I've ever had to say that about.

Another joint project by Andy and myself using different cameras and scopes 700 miles apart. This is my original RGB image reprocessed from the 10th and 12th September using the Canon 5D Mark II on the TMB 130 together with Andy's layer of hydrogen alpha that he shot from Long Island New York, using an FLI ML8300 Mono CCD on his TMB92SS at F4.4.

No entiendo nada de setas y nunca me fijo en ellas, pero en esta ocasión quedé impresionada al verlas, me parecieron tan bonitas ahí en medio de la hojarasca, que no pude resistirme a fotografiarlas. Destacaban por su color morado tan intenso brillando bajo los primeros rayos de sol que surgieron tras la lluvia; la diversidad de colores otoñales y el agradable olor a tierra y hojas mojadas inundaron la espesura del bosque, creándose una atmósfera única... realmente fue un momento mágico.

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

I do not understand anything of mushrooms and I never concentrate on them, but in this occasion I remained impressed on having seen them, they seemed to me to be so nice there in the middle of the fallen leaves that I could not refuse to photograph them. They were standing out for his purple so intense color shining under the first beams of the Sun that arose after the rain, the diversity of autumnal colors and the agreeable smell of land and wet leaves they flooded the thickness of the forest, the only atmosphere being created ... really it was a magic moment.

Re-posted on the annual day of this album coming out originally posted in 2010. On the 13 August 2019 Led Zeppelin Instagram showcased the original artwork from the iconic album featured in the 50th Anniversary book 'Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin'. They also include details that I was unaware of like who took the photograph. This post has been very popular with 107,500 views as of 25 February 2021.

What follows is my observation in seeking out the location of this iconic album cover and further design and album details updated.

Whilst in New York this year it was a must that I find the tenement block that featured on my favorite and Led Zeppelin's biggest album Physical Graffiti. When I got back home I set about changing my photographic view to match the cover artwork. On the web it is widely known that the building is 5 stories high, but on the cover the building has only 4 stories. When I started to compare my photograph and the album artwork I soon realised that as well as the 4th floor being removed, artist Peter Corriston also added a number of further elements that include extra tiles, faces and sides of the building. Part of the top right railing balcony was left out for a whole window frame to be visible. See my notes below. I have just amended the Wikipedia listing with these new findings.

Artist Peter Corriston worked with designer Mike Doud to convince Led Zeppelin manager, Peter Grant, that the cover art idea was a good one. Unlikely as it may seem, the concept was itself heavily influenced by the design for Jose Feliciano’s album, Compartments (1973). The new version was created by using a photograph of a New York apartment block, situated at 96-98 St. Marks Place.

Peter Corriston recalls: "We walked around the city for a few weeks looking for the right building. I had come up with a concept for the band based on the tenement, people living there and moving in and out. The original (vinyl) album featured the building with the windows cut out on the cover and various sleeves that could be placed under the cover, filling the windows with the album title, track information or liner notes".

The tenements were shot by New York photographer Elliott Erwitt. The front-cover shot was taken in daylight and the back was taken at night. Sepia prints were made for the outer package and they and the inner bags were then hand-coloured by Maurice Tate - the best hand-retoucher in London at that time. Jimmy Page described the cover as "A peeping tom's delight". The title was coined by Page to convey the amount of physical energy and creative writing that had gone into producing the recordings for the album.

The building is still standing today. In the basement is a second-hand clothes shop. The name of the shop is, naturally, Physical Graffiti.

Although Physical Graffiti was originally designed to be the debut release on the Swan Song label, the album’s elaborate cover art, which features a New York City tenement with interchangeable images visible through the building’s die-cut windows, forced a delay. The release of Bad Company thus took the Swan Song debut honour all the way to the top of the Billboard album chart. Within six months Physical Graffiti also hit that peak, giving Led Zeppelin another number one album, in the week of March 22, 1975. The centrepiece of the album is a song called Kashmir. Despite the fact that Stairway To Heaven is the band’s best-known song, Kashmir is generally considered to be the ultimate Led Zeppelin track.

An eclectic gallery of celebrities and icons inhabit the building and they can be spied through the windows. Amongst the tenants therein are Lee Harvey Oswald, Neil Armstrong, Elizabeth Taylor, King Kong, Charles Atlas, Queen Elizabeth, Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s portrait of Proserpine, the Virgin Mary and Laurel & Hardy. Perhaps I should do a second version with these figures in the windows or with the lettering.

Peter Corriston lives and works in the heart of Greenwich Village.

La palabra tradición deriva del latín y quiere decir donación o legado. La tradición es un conjunto de costumbres, ritos y usanzas que se transmiten de padres a hijos.

La tradición de un pueblo es aquello que lo identifica y diferencia de los demás, algo propio y profundo. Cada comunidad tiene sus propias tradiciones, las que se manifiestan en el modo de vivir, en el arte y se conservan a través del tiempo.

En Argentina el Día de la Tradición es el 10 de Noviembre, en Memoria de nuestro poeta más tradicional, creador del Martín Fierro: José Hernández.

El "Martín Fierro" de José Hernández ha sido fuente de extracción de refranes, especialmente los "Consejos de Martín Fierro a sus hijos", con la intención de que ellos eviten los males por los que ha pasado su padre, un gaucho que por las circunstancias adversas que debió enfrentar, se convirtió en desertor, perseguido y matrero.

"Consejos de Martín Fierro a sus hijos"

CANTO XXXII (Segunda Parte)

Un padre que da consejos

Más que padre es un amigo,

Ansí como tal les digo

Que vivan con precaución-

Naides sabe en qué rincón

Se oculta el que es su enemigo.

Yo nunca tuve otra escuela

Que una vida desgraciada-

No extrañen si en la jugada

Alguna vez me equivoco-

Pues ha de saber muy poco

Aquél que no aprendió nada.

Hay hombres que de su cencia

Tienen la cabeza llena;

Hay sabios de todas menas,

Mas digo sin ser muy ducho:

Es mejor que aprender mucho

El aprender cosas buenas.

No aprovechan los trabajos

Si no han de enseñarnos nada-

El hombre, de una mirada

Todo ha de verlo al momento-

El primer conocimiento

Es conocer cuándo enfada.

Su esperanza no la cifren

Nunca en corazón alguno-

En el mayor infortunio

Pongan su confianza en Dios-

De los hombres, sólo en uno,

Con gran precaución en dos-

Las faltas no tienen límites

Como tienen los terrenos-

Se encuentran en los más buenos,

Y es justo que les prevenga;-

Aquél que defectos tenga,

Disimule los ajenos-

Al que es amigo, jamás

Lo dejen en la estacada,

Pero no le pidan nada

Ni lo aguarden todo de él-

Siempre el amigo más fiel

es una conducta honrada.

Ni el miedo ni la codicia

Es bueno que a uno le asalten-

Ansí no se sobresalten

por los bienes que perezcan,

Al rico nunca le ofrezcan

Y al pobre nunca le falten.

Bien lo pasa hasta entre Pampas

El que respeta a la gente-

El hombre ha de ser prudente

Para librarse de enojos-

Cauteloso entre los flojos

Moderado entre valientes.

El trabajar es la ley

Porque es preciso alquirir-

No se expongan a sufrir

Una triste situación-

Sangra mucho el corazón

Del que tiene que pedir.

Debe trabajar el hombre

Para ganarse su pan;

Pues la miseria en su afán

De perseguir de mil modos-

Llama en la puerta de todos

Y entra en la del haragán.

A ningún hombre amenacen

Porque naides se acobarda-

Poco en conocerlo tarda

Quien amenaza imprudente-

Que hay un peligro presente

Y otro peligro que aguarda.

Para vencer un peligro,

Salvar de cuelquier abismo,

Por experiencia lo afirmo,

Más que el sable y que la lanza-

Suele servir la confianza

Que el hombre tiene en sí mismo.

Nace el hombre con la astucia

Que ha de servirle de guía-

Sin ella sucumbiría,

Pero sigún mi esperiencia-

Se vuelve en unos prudencia

Y en los otros picardía.

Aprovecha la ocasión

El hombre que es diligente-

Y téngalo bien presente,

Si al compararla no yerro-

La ocasión es como el fierro

Se ha de machacar caliente.

Muchas cosas pierde el hombre

Que a veces las vuelve a hallar-

Pero les debo enseñar

Y es bueno que lo recuerden-

Si la vergüenza se pierde

Jamás se vuelve a encontrar.

Los hermanos sean unidos,

Porque ésa es la ley primera.

Tengan unión verdadera

En cualquier tiempo que sea-

Porque si entre ellos pelean

Los devoran los de ajuera.

Respeten a los ancianos,

El burlarlos no es hazaña-

Si andan entre gente estraña

Deben ser muy precavidos-

Pues por igual es tenido

Quien con malos se acompaña.

La cigüeña cuando es vieja

Pierde la vista, -y procurar

Cuidarla en su edad madura

Todas sus hijas pequeñas-

Apriendan de las cigüeñas

Este ejemplo de ternura.

Si les hacen una ofensa,

Aunque la echen en olvido,

Vivan siempre prevenidos;

Pues ciertamente sucede-

Que hablará muy mal de ustedes

Aquel que los ha ofendido.

El que obedeciendo vive

Nunca tiene suerte blanda-

Mas con su soberbia agranda

El rigor en que padece-

Obedezca el que obedece

Y será bueno el que manda.

Procuren de no perder

Ni el tiempo ni la vergüenza-

Como todo hombre que piensa

Proceder siempre con juicio-

Y sepan que ningún vicio

Acaba donde comienza.

Ave de pico encorvado

Le tiene al robo afición-

Pero el hombre de razón

No roba jamás un cobre-

Pues no es vergüenza ser pobre

Y es vergüenza ser ladrón.

El hombre no mate al hombre

Ni pelee por fantasía-

Tiene en la desgracia mía

Un espejo en qué mirarse-

Saber el hombre guardarse

Es la gran sabiduría.

La sangre que se redama

No se olvida hasta la muerte-

La impresión es de tal suerte,

Que a mi pesar no lo niego-

Cai como gotas de fuego

En el alma del que la vierte.

Es siempre en toda ocasión

El trago el pior enemigo-

Con cariño se los digo,

Recuérdenlo con cuidado-

Aquél que ofende embriagado

Merece doble castigo-.

Si se arma algún revolutis

Siempre han de ser los primeros-

No se muestren altaneros

Aunque la razón les sobre-

En la barba de los pobres

Aprienden pa ser barberos.

Si entriegan su corazón

A alguna mujer querida,

No le hagan una partida

Que la ofienda a la mujer-

Siempre los ha de perder

Una mujer ofendida.

Procuren si son cantores,

El cantar con sentimiento,

Ni tiemplen el instrumento

Por sólo el gusto de hablar-

Y acostúmbrense a cantar

En cosas de jundamento.

Y les doy estos consejos

Que me han costado alquirirlos,

Porque deseo dirijirlos,

Pero no alcanza mi cencia-

Hasta darles la prudencia

Que precisan pa seguirlos.

Estas cosas y otras muchas,

Medité en mis soledades-

Sepan que no hay falsedades

Ni error en estos consejos-

Es de la boca del viejo

De ande salen las verdades.

Todos los argentinos y extranjeros que así lo deseen pueden ir agregándose a la mateada.

Son todos bienvenidos .

Para mi uno de los sitios más emblemáticos, hermosos, bonitos, etc de Bizkaia. El otro día al ir en busca de los frentes que estaban previstos, decidí aprovechar para sacar una foto de esta zona, pero desde otra perspectiva más alta. Al final entrando por aqui y por allá, consegui la altura suficiente como para englobar a Gaztelugatxe y Aketxe con las tormentas de fondo y desde una vista un poco más "aerea".

Gracias a todos por vuestros comentarios y faves.

Saludos.

Pilgrimage church of St. Coloman near Schwangau and the famous royal palaces Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau Castle.

Die barocke Colomanskirche liegt bei Schwangau in Bayern. Sie entstand in ihrer heutigen Form im 17. Jahrhundert auf einem Vorläuferbau, der zu Ehren des heiligen Koloman errichtet wurde. Der irische Pilger soll im Sommer 1012 bei seiner Pilgerreise ins Heilige Land an dieser Stelle gerastet haben. Die Kirche ist wegen ihrer Lage am Fuß der Schwangauer Berge und der Nähe zum weltbekannten Schloss Neuschwanstein eine der bekanntesten Sehenswürdigkeiten Bayerns.

O ciclamen é umas das plantas envasadas mais comercializadas. Sua folhagem é muito ornamental, verde escura com manchas mais claras. As flores são seu diferencial, de pétalas invertidas, podem se apresentar de diversas cores, entre branco, vermelho, rosa, salmão e combinações diferentes. Apresenta variedades grandes e pequenas e de flores com bordas crespas. Sua beleza delicada confere sofisticação e romantismo aos ambientes internos.

Unlike the tricky and lengthy noise reduction for www.flickr.com/photos/flatworldsedge/5126748478/ in this case I just maxed Lightroom's noise reduction and dropped the clarity. It's a 226 second exposure (F/22 ¦ ISO 100) from one of the bird hides on Stocker's Lake in Rickmansworth Aquadrome.

There were hundreds of ducks floating about in the foreground, but none made sufficient impression against the bright reflected sky over the long exposure. Hope everyone is having a great week!
