My third upload of the sunrise view at Podere Belvedere, Tuscany, Italy. Sky changed minute by minute and so I tried different perspectives. The best thing was, that the grass was wet and I was wearing sneakers. Never had that dripping wet socks before. But it was worth it.

Amanecer de hoy mismo en el monte Cayón-Infiesto-Piloña. Fue un amanecer muy extraño ya que la niebla no dejaba salir el sol, pero al final aunque ya muy alto y con bastante fuerza (por eso el salir quemado) apareció y nos dejo esta para mi maravilla vista, aunque por momentos la niebla lo hacía desaparecer de nuevo. Creo realmente que mereció la pena el madrugón que nos metimos
Espero que sean de vuestro agrado

Frank had a tough night tonight. With seven other dogs in the house he has lots of playmates and gets worn out. He slipped off to our bedroom and was taking a nap when I finally caught up with him. He had had too much excitement for one day. Good night buddy !

El Angliru (en asturiano: l'Angliru) es un puerto de montaña del Principado de Asturias, situada en el corazón de la Sierra del Aramo, en el concejo de Riosa. Situado a 1.570 m de altitud, constituye una espacio natural de gran belleza ubicado entre algunas de las cimas más importantes de esta sierra.
De ser conocido sólo por los ganaderos locales y excursionistas, pasó a cobrar fama internacional tras ser incluido como final de etapa en la Vuelta Ciclista a España en 1999, dada la gran dureza de la ascensión, que alcanza en algunos tramos pendientes máximas del 23,5 %, uno de los puertos de montaña más difíciles del ciclismo mundial. De hecho, l'Angliru está considerado como la cima de mayor dureza, junto con el Mortirolo y el Zoncolan en Italia

Location: Near my house at Tamagawa River, Tokyo, Sunday (17 July 2011)
Taken shortly after the sunset while I walked with my bike approaching the bridge of Tamagawa as my house is at the other side.. Tried a longer exposure but it pales off more the color of the horizon.

Description :
Oslo, Norway: The suspect in Norway's twin attacks that killed at least 92 people says he acted alone, police said Sunday, after some witness accounts said a second gunman had taken part in a mass shooting.
But police are still trying to establish whether there was "one or several" shooters at Friday's attack on a Labour Party youth meeting on Utoeya island, northwest of Oslo, police commissioner Sveinung Sponheim told journalists.
Norway suspect 'deemed killings necessary'
A suspected right-wing fanatic accused of killing at least 92 people deemed his acts "atrocious" yet "necessary" as Norway mourned victims of the nation's worst attacks since World War Two.
Police were hunting on Sunday to see if a possible second gunman took part in the shooting massacre and bomb attack on Friday that traumatised a normally peaceful Nordic country.
Anders Behring Breivik comments
In his first comment via a lawyer since he was arrested, 32-year-old Norwegian Anders Behring Breivik expressed willingness to explain himself in court at a hearing likely to be held on Monday about extending protective custody.
"He has said that he believed the actions were atrocious, but that in his head they were necessary," lawyer Geir Lippestad told independent TV2 news.
Police said Breivik gave himself up after admitting to a massacre in which at least 85 people died, mostly young people attending a summer camp of the youth wing of Norway's ruling Labour Party on an idyllic island.
Breivik was also arrested for the bombing of Oslo's government district that killed seven people hours earlier. Norway's toughest sentence is 21 years in jail. Survivors, relatives of those killed and supporters planned a procession to mourn the dead at Sundvollen on Sunday, near the island where the massacre took place.
Police defend delays
The comments from Breivik came as reports said police arrived at the island massacre about an hour and a half after he first opened fire, slowed because they didn't have quick access to a helicopter and then couldn't find a boat to make their way to the scene just several hundred yards offshore.
Survivors of the shooting spree have described hiding and fleeing into the water to escape the gunman, but a police briefing Saturday detailed for the first time how long the terror lasted - and how long victims waited for help.
Manifesto and video against multiculturalism
King Harald would attend a service in Oslo cathedral, a few hundred metres (yards) from where a bomb devastated government buildings including the offices of Labour Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg.
Breivik hated "cultural marxists", wanted a "crusade" against the spread of Islam and liked guns and weightlifting, web postings, acquaintances and officials said.
A video posted to the YouTube website showed several pictures of Breivik, including one of him in a Navy Seal type scuba diving outfit pointing an automatic weapon. "Before we can start our crusade we must do our duty by decimating cultural marxism," said a caption under the video called "Knights Templar 2083" on the YouTube website, which took down the video on Saturday.
A Norwegian website provided a link to a 1,500 page electronic manifesto which says Breivik was the author. It was not possible to verify who posted the video or wrote the book.
"Once you decide to strike, it is better to kill too many than not enough, or you risk reducing the desired ideological impact of the strike," the book said.
Norway has traditionally been open to immigration, which has been criticised by the Progress Party, of which Breivik was for a short time a member. The Labour Party, whose youth camp Breivik attacked, has long been in favour of immigration.
About 100 people stood solemnly early on Sunday at a makeshift vigil near Oslo's main church, laying flowers and lighting candles. Soldiers with guns and wearing bullet-proof vests blocked streets leading to the government district.
"We are all in sorrow, everybody is scared," said Imran Shah, a Norwegian taxi driver of Pakistani heritage, as a light summer drizzle fell on unusually empty Oslo streets.
Some terrified survivors of the shooting rampage said bullets came from at least two sides. "We are not at all certain" about whether he acted alone, police chief Sveinung Sponheim said. "That is one of the things that the investigation will concentrate on."
Witnesses
Witnesses said the gunman, wearing a police uniform, was able to shoot unchallenged for a prolonged period. He picked off his victims on Utoeya island northwest of Oslo forcing youngsters to scatter in panic or to jump into the lake to swim for the mainland.
"I heard screams. I heard people begging for their lives and I heard shots. He just blew them away," Labour Party youth member Erik Kursetgjerde, 18, told Reuters.
"I was certain I was going to die," he said. "People ran everywhere. They panicked and climbed into trees. People got trampled."
Home-grown militant
The suspect, tall and blond, owned an organic farming company called Breivik Geofarm, which a supply firm said he had used to buy fertiliser -- possibly to make the Oslo bomb.
Home-grown anti-government militants have struck elsewhere in the past, notably in the United States, where Timothy McVeigh killed 168 people with a truck bomb in Oklahoma City in 1995.
The district attacked is the heart of power in Norway. But security is not tight in a country unused to such violence and better known for awarding the Nobel Peace Prize and mediating in conflicts, including the Middle East and Sri Lanka.

Amores se van marchando como las olas del mar,
amores los tienen todos pero quien los sabe cuidar.
El amor es una barca con dos remos en el mar,
un remo aprietan mis manos el otro lo mueve el azar.
Quien no escribió un poema huyendo de la soledad,
quien a los quince años no dejó su cuerpo abrazar,
y quién cuando la vida se apaga y las manos tiemblan ya,
quién no buscó ese recuerdo de una barca naufragar.
Amores se vuelven viejos antes de empezar a amar,
porque el amor es un niño que hay que enseñar a andar.
El amor es como tierra que hay que arar y sembrar,
mírala al caer la tarde que no lo vengan a pisar... (MARI TRINI)

Sonoma State Beach - Sonoma County California
Its been quite a long time since I've made any short shutter speed images that capture the movement of the ocean, so I decided to see how film would react to these shutter speeds. As I have mentioned before, film has it's challenges, but these challenges are exactly what I was looking for. With my digital SLR, I had the option of setting up my camera for 1/2 or 1/3 stop increments, but these options are not available with the leaf shutter system on the film camera I use. My knowledge of the lens configurations for the film system I am using is minimal, but my current lens only offers full stop adjustments. With this, and the lack of ISO options*, I have found that the amount of time with workable light is cut in half... At best.
For this image, I watched the movement of the ocean in relation to rock formation and tried to visualize how much movement would be recorded. I waited for the right amount of light to cross over the rock and quickly snapped series of 2 images using a 1/2 second shutter speed. I waited roughly 2 minutes, and snapped two more with 1 second shutter speed. I think both speeds came out good, but the wave curl detail in the 1/2 second exposure (this image) was a little better for my taste.
Working with a digital camera, I had instant enjoyment when the image came up on the LCD, but with film there is a feeling that is hard to get past. The feeling of dialing in your settings, waiting for the perfect moment, and click..... Nothing. No image to view... No instant feedback to help fine tune your exposure. I have found myself feeling as if something broke. Like something wasn't working right, but its all part of the mystery that I have grown to love about analog photography. The nice thing about all of this is the build up and heightened anticipation of what was captured. The process of unrolling, rolling, and developing the film... Watching the timer as the final seconds of the film washing counts down... Pulling the reels from the tank, and seeing exactly what was actually captured.... Its hard for me to explain, but I can say that the delay is worth it.
The boring details....
Camera- Hasselblad 500C/M
Lens - 80mm f/2.8 @ f/16
Shutter speed 1/2 second
Film - Kodak TMAX 100 - Developed with Kodak HC-110 dilution (H)
*I have only one film back, but additional film backs can be loaded with a different ISO and changed mid-roll on the Hasselblad V system. Film speeds can also be adjusted by "pushing" or "pulling" development, but I am still researching these methods.
Today I digged out one of my old New York photos. New York is a great city. Much too great to be discovered in only 3 days.
There are some really pretty motives over there. If you want to see some really mind boggling New York shots go over to Philip Klinger. He did a great Job over there.
Besides I used a wicked processing on this image. I actually didn’t really know why I did it. But you might be wondering why the image looks a bit blurry even though you have the impression of sharp lines and clear parts. That is because I used the Orton Glow style in the beginning. All the things I did after the glow effect where based on it. I was too lazy to do it all over again. Somehow I like the effect because it makes the water in the upper right image golden shivering and it also amplifies the sunrays you can see in the clouds.
If you turn over to full size you can see the boundaries of my equipment. There are colourlines around the houses. This is because of the Tokina 12-24mm I used here. I am really waiting to have enough money to buy a nice D700 and a really good lens to get rid of these things I can’t really stop.
Also I am happy to see all the great photos on your streams. I am really comfortable with all the different styles I see there. As I am most of the time do City, B&W and symmetry photos I am really impressed by your landscape, flower, family, sports and lightpainting shots!
Have a great Sunday!

So I went out for the first time in quite a while with my camera last night. I've had this image in mind for a long time, but just had never bothered to take it. Its not entirely what I had in mind as I thought the parliament building would have had more lighting and the sky would be more blue. The sky I think was just a problem with seasonal timing of the sun setting directly where I was shooting. The light trails were pretty good though, I wasn't sure how much traffic there would be, but there was enough for a 2 minute exposure.

The gardens are a fundamental part of the Alcazar. A walk in the gardens of the Alcazar is one of the most pleasant of Seville, which combine the Arab influences, Renaissance and modern. They are arranged in terraces, with green vegetation, lots of orange and palm trees, fountains, cool and calm for rest and relaxation away from the city.

Description;
The sky yesterday afternoon after 3 days cloudy and rainy weather at Dhaka BANGLADESH ,
The Nazca Lines are a series of ancient geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert in southern Peru. They were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. The high, arid plateau stretches more than 80 kilometers (50 mi) between the towns of Nazca and Palpa on the Pampas de Jumana about 400 km south of Lima. Although some local geoglyphs resemble Paracas motifs, scholars believe the Nazca Lines were created by the Nazca culture between 400 and 650 AD. The hundreds of individual figures range in complexity from simple lines to stylized hummingbirds, spiders, monkeys, fish, sharks, orcas, llamas, and lizards.
The lines are shallow designs made in the ground by removing the ubiquitous reddish pebbles and uncovering the whitish ground beneath. Hundreds are simple lines or geometric shapes; more than seventy are designs of animal, bird, fish, or human figures. The largest figures are over 200 meters (660 ft.) across. Scholars differ in interpreting the purpose of the designs, but in general they ascribe religious significance to them.
The geometric ones could indicate the flow of water or be connected to rituals to summon water. The spiders, birds, and plants could be fertility symbols. Other possible explanations include: irrigation schemes or giant astronomical calendars.
Due to the dry, windless, and stable climate of the plateau and its isolation, for the most part the lines have been preserved. Extremely rare changes in weather may temporarily alter the general designs.

The thing I'm seeking for, is LIFE. We born, we love, we die. Is this life ? To me LIFE means the most beautiful and precious gift. Life has everything if you think positively; the color, dream, smile, happiness and above all here I chose the RHYTHM.
I've found the LIFE in the earth, in the clouds, in the air and inside her.
