"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."

Light, especially sunlight, has such a potent effect on your body's internal clock, or circadian rhythms, that you can use it to reset your sleep cycle, says Phyllis C. Zee, MD, PhD, director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Northwestern University.
"If you tend to be a night owl who can't get to sleep until 1 a.m., you may have delayed circadian rhythms. To shift to an earlier schedule -- and make it easier to get to bed and get up on time -- soak up as much sunlight as possible between 6 and 8 a.m." Force yourself to wake up early and sit in a sunny room or take a post-sunrise walk. When it's warm, try eating breakfast outdoors. Basking in early-morning rays prompts your body to suppress production of melatonin -- the sleep hormone -- during the day and release it earlier in the evening, so falling asleep isn't such a struggle.
Well I guess I start doing it :) coz frankly when I am out of city I always wake up early to catch sunrise but when I return to city :P I become a owl again :( :P I guess tr is many owl friends out tr isn't !
This was another SOOC shot pretty much the wow-est moment of sunrise, I do have lot of other shots which I tried planning and shooting will post them one at a time every morning :)
Its magical how even the boring mobile towers also merge with the landscape which looks as if taken from a Arabian Nights series, the old and new coexist and morning painter manages to paint it in such a way that you don't realize the difference and just get immersed in the morning glow :)
Good morning, Have a great Week ahead friends :)

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.
Pushkar, India

Colias crocea (Geoffroy 1785) Limoncella
Lepidottero di media grandezza dalla livrea giallo-arancio con larghe fasce marginali nel cui interno, ma solo nelle femmine, sono comprese macchie gialle. Le parti inferiori sono di colore giallo-citrino con una coppia di punti bianchi contornati di rossiccio sulle ali posteriori. Queste ultime presentano, inoltre, una serie di punti scuri nella regione postdiscale. Non di rado si osservano femmine dalla colorazione bianco-verdastra ascritte alla forma "helice", fissata geneticamente.
Sverna come bruco nascosto tra anfratti e sotto le pietre. In primavera avviene la metamorfosi in crisalidi succinte provviste di un appuntito processo cefalico. A partire da maggio e fino all'autunno, si susseguono varie generazioni. Piante nutrici sono diverse Leguminose e soprattutto le vecce, sulle quali vengono deposte uova rosso-arancio.
Long exposures and minimalism doesn't necessarily mean minimalism in tones to me, only in composition... Michael Levin and Michael Kenna are true masters in this discipline and are the ones who inspire me...

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 ☺
"... Y ahí en más vivió prestando
los años que hoy amontona,
con su pintita gauchona

En un corral trabajando
o recorriendo potreros
cargando al anca algún cuero
o tirando agua en el jaguel,
o al ruido del cascabel
con el sulky dominguero..."

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.

Albany Park in Enfield
Not the biggest or the nicest park in the UK, but this particular morning it showed off beautifully. There was this lovely ground mist hugging the floor, swirling around school boys legs as they walked to school and the sun was rising and beaming through the trees ahead of me. I was so LUCKY to catch this shot.
This is a fiery splendor over the backwaters of Aleppey. Shot from a houseboat facing west from the back of a rocking boat.
I have connectivity issues still and am unable to see your photo streams. Will get there soonest.

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.

Got out into the great British Columbian wilderness today, and hiked 4km to the beautiful Mystic Beach on Vancouver Island's westcoast. . Along the way we passed this suspension bridge that was kind of a surprise. It was my first time seeing a suspension bridge this big, and it was really fun to walk across while looking down. =D

On a beautiful morning I shot this image. It's a view on the german city Emmerich, this is minutes after the first rays of the sun hit the land. This was also the first day I had to scratch the ice of my windshield.
It's not a re-post, but this guy has been hanging out at the end of my photostream (one person found it) where i put a load of Getty submissions that i didn't want to clutter my daily uploads with. And seeing as today is the first day of the new cricket season for my team, i thought he now deserved a day in the sun. It will be our first game as Freshwater Cricket Club after 30 years of playing as West Island, and i'll be captain today so not a lot of flickr time, but will catch up soon enough.

Sunset in Victoria B.C's Inner Harbour.
These ripples at Lake Louise provide a kind of dynamic serenity. Was able to get to the lake from Banff for sunrise last week on a trip. The quiet was palpable. The ripples were provided with a little snowball and added a sense of dynamic movement to the moment.

In preparation of a free buffet lunch I thought I'd get a little exercise cycling on my wife's battery powered mamachari (bike with large baskets) and came across this unexpected wonderful sunset.
This was taken using my wide angle lense and cropped at the bottom to remove the beach from the shot.
Slightly processed to give a nice cinematic film feel.
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.
Oh such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on,
