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.

16/12/2011 TK BREMEN, navire échoué sur la plage d' Erdeven dans le Morbihan, dont toutes les chaines d'actualités parlent en ce moment. Cette photo a été prise de nuit vers les 22H00, face au navire, avec une mer quelque peu formée ce soir là, d'où le flouté des vagues sur la gauche. L'ambiance qui en ressort est assez mitigée car la photo est belle, mais le symbole l'est beaucoup moins, à cause des répercutions écologiques. Etant donné l'intérêt et à la fois le dégoût qu'ont les habitants pour ce bateau, il était important pour nous de le mettre en image, et d'en garder une trace en l'état car les autorités entament des mesures pour le démanteler.
Il a fallu trouver l' axe adéquate pour palier au problème de surexposition dû aux spots halogènes du pont qui gâchaient toutes les photos de coté.

Happy holidays to you and yours with some nice presents ;-).
I will be off the next days ... see you again next week.

Amanece con niebla en la Laguna de Boada de Campos./ Sunrise and fog in Boada de Campos Lagoon
♫ Chris Garneau - Leaving Song.♫
Fotografía unida a esta canción de mi cantante revelación del año.
Cuando la gente que daba luz a la vida, se va, te sientes abandonado.
En 1998 la Fundación Global Nature inició las gestiones para la recuperación de la Laguna de Boada ( foto) , distante a tan sólo 11 kilómetros de la Laguna de la Nava ( foto) y con unas características ecológicas muy similares a este humedal.
Con el apoyo del ayuntamiento de Boada y el Ministerio de Medio Ambiente están ya inundadas 60 hectáreas del humedal.
Se pueden observar los miles de aves acuáticas que visitan esta laguna, especialmente el ánsar común, ya que este humedal es la tercera zona más importante dentro de España, con un contingente anual de entre 10.000 Y 12. 000 ejemplares.
Miles de aves acuáticas se establecen todos los inviernos en las lagunas de La Nava y Boada; ánades reales, cercetas comunes y patos cucharas
Durante la primavera y verano, avefrías, cigüeñelas, archibebes y fochas sacan a delante sus polladas en las aguas someras del humedal.
Antes del otoño varios miles de pequeñas aves como mosquiteros, carriceros o golondrinas se alimentan y descansan en los arroyos y la vegetación palustre.
Las vastas extensiones cerealistas que rodean ambas lagunas son el hábitat de una interesante comunidad de aves esteparias. Especies como la avutarda, ortega, aguilucho cenizo o calandria encuentran en esta zona un hábitat único dentro de Europa.
Photo attached to this song of my singer revelation of the year.
When people who gave light to life, is gone, you feel abandoned.
In 1998, the Global Nature Foundation initiated steps for the recovery of Boada Lake( photo ) , distant only 11 km from the Laguna de la Nava ( photo ) and ecological characteristics very similar to this wetland.
With the support of the City of Boada and the Ministry of Environment already flooded 60 hectares of wetland.
You can see the thousands of waterfowl that visit this lake, especially the common goose, and that this wetland is the third most important area in Spain, with an annual quota of 10,000 and 12. 000.
Thousands of waterfowl down every winter in the lagoons of La Nava and Boada, mallards, teal and ducks spoons
During the spring and summer, lapwings, stilts, coots redshanks and bring to front their brood in the shallow waters of the wetland.
Before the fall several thousand small birds such as mosquito nets, warblers and swallows feed and rest in the creeks and marsh vegetation.
The vast cereal that surround both lakes are home to an interesting community of steppe birds. Species such as the Great Bustard, Sandgrouse, Montagu's harrier or calendar are in this area a unique habitat in Europe..
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!

A large flock of Black Skimmers, Ring-billed, Laughing, and Herring Gulls, and Forster's and Royal Terns on the south end of Jekyll Island
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.
Taken by Crummock Water, Buttermere
*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.

Even if the water rises to consume us, I will love you.
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.
A bit of Autumn's last glory!! I know the title sounds 'sad' but I'm not sad at all! Just love that song! :-)
Happy Bokeh Wednesday!

La Torre de Celas es el único resto que se conserva de una fortaleza medieval construida en el siglo XIV. Fue destruida por los Irmandiños y reconstruida en el siglo XV, siendo sus propietarios más ilustres los Condes de Andrade.
En la actualidad solo queda en pie la torre, con doce metros de altura; restaurada en 1992, es sede del Museo Etnográfico del Ayuntamiento de Culleredo.
La Torre de Celas is what remains of a medieval fortress built in the 14th century; it was destroyed by the "Irmandiños" and rebuilt in the 15th century.
At present there is only the tower left, twelve metres high; restaured in 1992, it is the Ethnographic Museum of Culleredo.
A kaleidoscope is a circle of mirrors containing loose, colored objects such as beads or pebbles and bits of glass. As the viewer looks into one end, light entering the other end creates a colorful pattern, due to the reflection off the mirrors.
This is a processed photograph where a single photo is twirled at Photoshop and then mirrored twice to give a kaleidoscope effect.Thanks Evan for the tutorial!

Instantanea tomada junto al puente "neuf" sobre el rio "Agoût" que refleja en sus
aguas los colores de las viviendas colgantes, que dan un toque magistral a esta
encantadora ciudad francesa.
Para captar todo el ancho del rio, y la gran profundidad de campo hacia el puente
viejo, utilizé una lente ultra gran angular, "Sigma 10 ÷ 20 mm EX DC"
El mejor momento para "inmortalizar" este bellisimo paraje, es durante las puestas
de sol, donde las ultimas luces hacen proyectar el cielo, las nubes y los colores de
las casas en las placidas aguas del Agoût, brindando un momento fotografico unico.

Yep! A squirrel and some bokeh! How's that for some good old fashioned cliché?
Just found out that I have another Thanksgiving dinner to attend at my brother-in-laws. I thought today would be a fun, lazy Flickr catch-up day! So ... I will attend to that this evening! And attend to more chowing today {just what I needed}!
Happy Cliché Saturday!!

oooooooh its heavily raining here. i went out with raincoat to take a flower shot, since there were drops on it, i got an idea to make this as flower-drop shot.
you all know that i used to hold the thing with drops in my left hand and camera in right, but this time though i was holding only my non-SLR camera in hand, i faced difficult in making the shot, as wind was blowing along with the drizzling rain.
i managed to take this shot and returned back with this droplet shot and droplets on my camera

Es la primera obra escultórica de lenguaje moderno instalada en un espacio público de la ciudad. Como ocurrirá posteriormente, su transgresión formal provocará un vivo debate entre los gijoneses de esta época. Actualmente, es uno de las esculturas más características de la ciudad, con un fuerte sentido simbólico. Situada en el Paseo del Rinconín, la Madre mira al mar, hacia el que alcanza degarradoramente una de sus manos. Muriedas intentó plasmar en ella el sufrimiento de tantas asturianas y gijonesas que vieron como sus hijos debían partir en busca de una vida mejor.
Escultura de Ramón Muriedas

A little bit of autumn color for you ... before winter gets here!! I have so many autumn photos I took before I left for my Yosemite trip. I spent a few hours at a local nature center. I was the only one there; the light & the colors fabulous!!
Happy "Fall Color" Monday!
Taken from my hotel room on the 22nd floor of the Cerulean Tower Hotel in Shibuya , Tokyo .
The Hotel actually had 40 floors on the elevator so I asked the concierge in my most polite japanese if it was possible for me to go higher up to make a photo ?
He said I could from the restaurant but it opens at 11am and unfortunately I had to leave at by 7.30 for the airport . I can only imagine how spectacular that view must have been. Shikata ga nai !

Another shot from my Oregon Zoo tour. This guy is the coolest. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: it’s too bad Lions are so dangerous otherwise they would make the perfect 21st century family pet. Heck YAH I’d walk down the street with one of these on a leash. Ya think anyone would bother me? Who needs a watch dog when you can have a watch cat? The only problem would be carrying a shovel and shopping bag instead of one of those small plastic doggie bag thingies for......well......you know. =)
