I captured this amazing moment when the Sun was painting the London Centre Point in Gold...
=========================================================================
Centre Point is a substantial concrete and glass office building in central London, England, occupying 101-103 New Oxford Street, WC1, close to St Giles' Circus and almost directly above Tottenham Court Road tube station. The site was once occupied by a gallows.[1] The building was designed by Richard Seifert with engineers Pell Frischmann and was constructed by Wimpey Construction from 1963 to 1966. It is 117 m (385 ft) high, has 32 floors and 27,180 m2 (292,563 sq ft) of floor space and is the joint 27th tallest building in London. It was one of the first skyscrapers in London. It is a grade II listed building.

Took this a while ago on my first day out with the new camera.
Stuff about the Cleaven Dyke...
Cursus monuments. The largest in Scotland is the Cleaven Dyke, Perthshire. This is an unusual cross between a bank barrow and a cursus, with a 9m wide bank running midway between two ditches, which are 50m apart. The Dyke runs for over 2km, and was constructed in the late 5th or early 4th millenium cal BC. It is considered to represent some 60-80,000 hours of labour. The Dyke itself however is unlikley to have been constructed in one go.
At the NW end it appears that an oval burial mound was built first. This was partly covered by a long barrow and this in turn had the Dyke added to its SE end. The Dyke is not even in its construction, and has about 34 segments. This may indicate that it was constructed over some period of time. One of the excavators of the Dyke, comments that 'the apparent large scale of the effort necessary to construct the Cleaven Dyke may be an illusion; it and other cursus monuments may have been built over a long time period in relatively short segments... In some societies coming together over a long period to repeat some ritual activity (in this case the construction of a segment of the Dyke) may be more important than the monument eventually produced by many year's labour').

"The Rhône Glacier (German: Rhonegletscher/ Valais German: "Rottengletscher") is a glacier in the Swiss Alps and the source of the river Rhône and one of the primary contributors to Lake Geneva in the far eastern end of the Swiss canton of Valais. Because the Glacier is located close to the Furka Pass road it is easily accessible.
Der Rhonegletscher (selten auch Rottengletscher genannt) ist ein Talgletscher im Quellgebiet der Rhone im äussersten Nordosten des Kantons Wallis in den Zentralalpen der Schweiz. Er ist knapp acht Kilometer lang, weist eine durchschnittliche Breite von ungefähr zwei Kilometer auf und bedeckt eine Fläche von ungefähr 16 km². Der Rhonegletscher war vor allem im 19. und Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts aufgrund seiner damals noch weit ins Tal bei Gletsch hinunter reichenden Zunge eine grosse Touristenattraktion. Er schmilzt seit der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts kontinuierlich. Möglicherweise wird er bis ins Jahr 2100 beinahe vollständig verschwunden sein.
Le glacier du Rhône (Rhonegletscher ou Rottengletscher en allemand) se trouve à l'extrémité nord-est du canton du Valais en Suisse. Il donne naissance au Rhône, en amont de Gletsch, qui s'écoule ensuite dans la vallée de Conches.
Le glacier s'étend sur 8 kilomètres et atteint une largeur d'un peu plus de 1 000 mètres. Sa superficie est de 17 km2. Comme la plupart des glaciers alpins, il a passablement reculé depuis le milieu du xixe siècle. Il est facilement accessible via la route du col de la Furka. Une galerie creusée dans la glace permet de visiter l'intérieur du glacier."

and there she sat in all her glory, looking ahead and in wonder, will i ever be like her, oh my vintage rose xxx
The quote by Emily Dickinson made sense to me first time when I saw sunrise like this ! this shot is SOOC .
This location is a classic example of how a single location can be used for different kind of sunrise shots.. All 3 days I stayed at Udaipur i woke up to catch the sunrise and boy oh boy each day it was a exercise to come up with new idea to shoot, And it was not that difficult with nature doing its thing.. And on 3rd day i was shocked when i saw this sight which .... surprisingly i never noticed in past 2 days of shoot I never looked down at the city , was always stuck with the sun the cloud the birds and mountain.
But on 3rd day i look down at city and i see this sight of layers unfolding with the sunrise. and for a while I just lost all sense of time and place .. and just stood there going WOW OMG WOW !!

Refresh yourself at the Landes National Park Region a peaceful and natural retreat. The Landes are a flat sandy low land area at the southwest corner of Aquitaine region featuring the largest European pine forest. An area of over 300 sq km - the park is somewhere to spread your wings and to get back in touch with nature. This hidden garden is the privileged territory to approach the soul of Aquitaine - France. Visitors here invariably leave with a renewed sense of peace and vitality. For active days there are lakes for boating, swimming, picnic or just observing the wildlife, and several centers for horse-riding, canoing and cycle trails. The Landes forest, also known as the moors of Gascony.
Photo taken at the Landes National Park Region of South Western of France. A misty morning at the largest European pine forest. A lovely Autumn forest with lush brown colored ferns, a majority of them grow in shade. New growth is sometimes reddish or purple, but turns green with age, yellow in autumn, and brown in winter.
Het bos van les Landes is het grootste aaneengesloten bosgebied van Europa. Het is gelegen in het zuidwesten van Frankrijk. In de 19e eeuw werd dit aangeplant en het is nu het beschermde Regionale Natuurpark van de Landes de Gascogne en strekt zich uit van het Bassin d’Arcachon tot diep in de Gers. Tot in de 19e eeuw was het gebied bijzonder dunbevolkt en begroeid met struikgewas. Het bos werd dan ook aangelegd in een poging de plaatselijke economie nieuw leven in te blazen. Hout en papier zijn de voornaamste producten van de lokale economie. Vroeger werd er ook veel hars gewonnen, maar dit product is grotendeels door kunstharsen van de markt verdrongen. Aquitaine is een regio in Frankrijk die populair is bij de Nederlandse vakantiegangers. En dat is niet zo verwonderlijk want het gebied heeft ontzettend veel te bieden. Bergen, rivieren, mooie steden, charmante dorpjes en een prachtig kustgebied vormen Aquitaine tot een heerlijke streek met veel afwisseling en voor elk wat wils.
Pushkar (पुष्कर) in Rajasthan is one of the oldest cities of India. The date of its actual origin is not known, but legend associates Lord Brahma with its creation. It is mentioned that Brahma performed penance here for 60,000 years to have glimpse of Radha Krishna. Pushkar boasts of temples, though not many can be considered very old since many were destroyed by Aurangzeb, a Mogul ruler and subsequently rebuilt. The most famous among all is the Brahma Temple, said to be the only temple in the world dedicated to this deity.
Pushkar is famous for its annual Pushkar Cattle Fair, which has over the years become one of the biggest tourist attractions in India. This is usually the quintessential colourful Indian festival which you see in all the Incredible !ndia ads. However, this year was not as joyous for the traders. The global recession combined with the drought hit hard and there were hardly any buyers. The individual stories are sad - with most traders having to leave their cows, camels and horses behind because they can't afford to feed their families, let alone the animals. Yet, the resilience of the people was touching to see - with hope for the future and welcoming to those from the outside.
Check out the whole set - Magical Rajasthan.

It was so cold and the stream was so still that ice had begun to form on the banks. It was pretty neat. My inner 6yr old was dying to throw a rock in the stream and ruin the reflection....I resisted- for the good of all the workshop participants, and because I probably would have been thrown into the stream by the group.
First light on the Sierras & the Tuolumne meadow off of Tioga Pass. We left the hotel @ 4:15 to get here in time for first light. It was cold. It was worth it.

Was a fantastic sunset a few days back. So good that I jumped away from the desk with my handy point-n-shoot (that I keep in my bag to/from work) and went into one of the unused conference rooms on the West side of the building so that I could get this shot looking over Tokyo station and the Marunouchi business district at dusk.

I just learned something today. I got a very low score in one of my major exams. I have never experienced this in a very long time. I know it’s shallow, but I just feel so down and troubled… I guess I’m in the bottom of the wheel this time around. I wasn’t suppose to post anything until the first week of November because I have to study again, but I felt to sad that I needed an outlet. So please bear with this sad photograph…. And bear the site of me in it too.
Hope you guys are having a great day ☺

This is an old photo, I took this one more or less two years ago and was taken with a generic "point and shoot" camera.
Was already on this photo stream, now I "recycled" it improving some changes to the hue and adding frames.

This was taken from the South Rim of the Grand canyon, we went to the North Rim as well, which I preferred just because of the lack of crowds, nothing to do with the views as you can see. It really is an awe inspiring place, and looking back on these shots I keep thinking wow did I go there ? lol ;) I remember sitting out on a rock ledge to take this, I had my feet dangling over the edge. I am terrified of heights, but for some reason I was not scared doing this. We were very lucky to have gotten beautiful days for our trip.

==================================================================
Instantly hailed as the most important structure of its time, Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum Bilbao recently celebrated a decade of extraordinary success on October 19, 2007. With close to ninety exhibitions and over ten million visitors to its credit, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao forever changed the way the world thinks about museums, and it continues to challenge our assumptions about the connections between art, architecture, and collecting.
The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao Collection has a unique, yet complementary, identity from the collections at the other Guggenheim institutions, featuring works by some of the most significant artists of the second half of the 20th century: Eduardo Chillida, Yves Klein, Willem de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist, Clyfford Still, Antoni Tàpies, and Andy Warhol, among others.
The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is a museum of modern and contemporary art designed by Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry, built by Ferrovialand located in Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain. It is built alongside the Nervion River, which runs through the city of Bilbao to the Atlantic Coast. The Guggenheim is one of several museums belonging to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. The museum features permanent and visiting exhibits of works by Spanish and international artists.
One of the most admired works of contemporary architecture, the building has been hailed as a "single moment in the architectural culture" because it represents "one of those rare moments when critics, academics, and the general public were all completely united about something."The museum was the building most frequently named as one of the most important works completed since 1980 in the 2010 World Architecture Survey among architecture experts.

This my third photo from Tunnels series.
Looks much better with B l a c k M a g i c
The Houston tunnel system is a system of tunnels 6 m (about 20 ft) below Houston's downtown street system. The system is 10 km long (6-7 mi depending on the source), and forms a network of subterranean, climate-controlled, pedestrian walkways that link 95 full city blocks.
Today's Tunnel is a series of underground passageways that, with above-ground skywalks, link office towers to hotels, banks, corporate and government offices, restaurants, retail stores, and the Theater District. Only one building, Wells Fargo Plaza, offers direct access from the street to the Tunnel; otherwise, other entry points are from street-level stairs, escalators, and elevators located inside buildings that are connected to the tunnel. Most of the tunnel system is located in the western half of downtown Houston.

Ruínas da Fortaleza da Arrifana
Apesar de nos meses de Verão se armar, frente à Praia da Arrifana, uma armação de pesca, só no reinado de Filipe III (1635) aí se mandou levantar um Forte para defesa dos pescadores, da praia e enseada, sendo Governador e Capitão-Mor do Reino do Algarve, D. Gonçalo Coutinho.
Com o passar dos anos, o forte foi-se progressivamente destruindo, sobretudo devido à acção do tempo e das águas do mar nas marés vivas. Reedificado em 1670, foi em 1755 atingido pelo grande terramoto, tendo ficado profundamente danificado.
Autêntico miradouro natural, daqui poderá desfrutar de uma das mais belas panorâmicas da Costa Vicentina.

This was shot on a tripod with my Sigma 10-20mm ultra wide angle lens attached to my Canon EOS Rebel T1i. Three exposures (-2..0..+2 EV) was processed in Photomatix. Tone mapped and detail enhanced. In Photoshop, increased overall saturation, curve adjustment, and unsharp mask.
The Kakehi (Bamboo Fountain) is a waterspout consisting of a vertical bamboo pipe in which the internal part of each node (joint) has been bored out to accept a plastic hosepipe. At the head of the vertical bamboo pipe a "Komagshira" or scorched timber joint drilled out to accept the vertical and horizontal bamboo pipes, the komagashira timber top section is either square in section or round. The" Kakehi " has a number of uses, used to feed water into a stone water basin (Chozubachi) or to trickle water into the end of a Deer Scarer (Shishi-Odoshi). The Shishi Odoshi was originally used by Japanese farmers to scare off deer and boar from their rice crops, and later it has become part of the Japanese garden

Just a perfect day,
Drink Sangria in the park,
And then later, when it gets dark,
We go home.
Just a perfect day,
Feed animals in the zoo
Then later, a movie, too,
And then home.
Oh it's such a perfect day,
I'm glad I spent it with you.
Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,
You just keep me hanging on.
Just a perfect day,
Problems all left alone,
Weekenders on our own.
It's such fun.
Just a perfect day,
You made me forget myself.
I thought I was someone else,
Someone good.
Oh it's such a perfect day,
I'm glad I spent it with you.
