Interview with my Flickr friend Benquerencia

 

Disney's California Adventure park reflected in the lake. Didn't have a tripod with me so I set my camera up on one of the bridge buttresses.

baio da venta rasgada

carunchado nos ‘cormilho’...

Foi o que mais me agradou

para sentar meu lombilho...

prá encilhá o venta rasgada

custou uma barbaridade

baixou a cabeça na estância

foi levantar na cidade...”

This image has been replaced. It used to have much brighter colors for a while, but I think they were too bright.

That's exactly what Daniel said after taking some shots from this POV. This is the Putra Mosque located at Putrajaya.

“O queixo atado, a velha doma gaúcha

'son cosas brujas’ qual ponteio de guitarra,

o tempo se vai, um costeio mais

no bagual que sai e esbarra,

outra sova e já se tem pingo pras garras...”

think of all the coloring in you could do with these bad boys!

Way up near the top of the canyon there's a broad meadow. This area clearly gets more moisture than the rest of the canyon, there are grasses and trees. There's also a tremendous view across the Tularosa Basin. That's White Sands National Monument in the distance.

My best capture of snow, but really my preferred!! 2 tracks, one friend, warped sun, white everywhere!! I love this shot, I think I'm going to enlarge it and frame it on my house wall!!

...but I believe in it...

 

"Tanto tempo fa, nel Regno Sotterraneo, dove la bugia e il dolore non hanno significato, viveva una Principessa che sognava il Mondo degli Umani, sognava il cielo azzurro, la brezza lieve e la lucentezza del sole. Un giorno, traendo in inganno i suoi guardiani, fuggì. Ma appena fuori i raggi del sole la accecarono cancellando così la sua memoria. La Principessa dimenticò chi fosse e da dove provenisse. Il suo corpo patì il freddo, la malattia, il dolore e dopo qualche anno morì. Nonostante tutto il Re fu certo che l'anima della Principessa avrebbe un giorno fatto ritorno, magari in un altro corpo, in altro luogo, in un altro tempo. L'avrebbe aspettata fino al suo ultimo respiro, fino a che il mondo non avesse smesso di girare."

Este pajarillo lo encontramos en el jardin, Lunita quiso jugar con él y el pobrecito se asustó y se chocó con la verja, rapidamente lo cogi (temia que Luna le hiciera daño sin querer) y lo entre en casa, solo se quedo atontadito durante un rato, al ver que no tenia heridas lo saque al jardin y lo deje volar para que buscara a su mama.... estuve a puntito de quedarmelo pero estoy segura que lo unico que queria el pobre era volver con su mama alli en el nidito... a que era muy lindo!? :D

Fantastic day...

Well I can find a funny feeling

Well it's a fantastic day...

A day to remember..."

 

My daughter and son-in-law relaxing at the beach on 2006 vacation! They are now ,the proud father and mother of my brand new granddaughter Isabella , born in January16! My heart dances!

Olá pessoal, sou oficialmente avó: fomos abençoados com o nascimento de Isabella , dia 16!Pura alegria para todos nós!

10 minutes from where my previous (and by far most popular) shot was taken is this huge span of a bridge along State Route 20. This whole area is a recreational vehicle area, so I was constantly surrounded by the sound of 2 stroke motorbikes and off road vehicles. But I stood my ground, to get these 7 shots.. and thus.. I present it to you.

من يوم شفتك عني افداك

والقلب ماله غير طاريك

من زود ماهو يسعى لرضاك

وده يفارق صدري ويجيك

كذاب انا لو قلت ابنساك

او جيت يوم قلت ما بيك

صدق بأني والي سواك

لو بانسى اسمي ماني ناسيك

This is another picture taken this morning at sunrise near Sankathi Ghat along river Ganga in Varanasi (Benaras).

 

It belongs to the series of a new topic about wrestlers in Varanasi which I am showing here with no PP work for a change.

 

This is Vinod who is also trained by a Russian coach, he has also a little "shop" down the ghat where the gym is standing where he is selling pan, thea, water and sweets.

 

The gym where we did those pictures is facing river Ganga which gave this vivid colors so early in the morning.

 

Pehlwan means wrestler in Hindi.

While driving the brother-in-laws van with all of us returning back to Tokyo from a wonderful ski/onsen vacation, I noticed the reflection of the road in my lenses while looking in the rearview mirror.

 

Pulled out my trusty Canon IXY 910 (always on my person these days!), quickly set to macro mode and snapped the reflection off my Oakley Half-Jackets (lenses are actually this color).

 

Non-HDR shot taken on the mountain road heading out of Kusatsu, Japan.

I begin to like more and more the black and white images!

Orlando Rebelo (a portuguese photographer) once said "There is something about black and white that color cannot transmit... I think that colors distract us from the essential on an image".

I think this is the goal on a good black&white photo!

What a great quote and what a great photographer!

=======================================================================

 

Streaming Train in a Urban London UK Underground station...very quiet for a change, apart from a lost ghost train architecture. City of London Urban, Metropolitan

 

The London Underground is a metro system serving a large part of Greater London and neighbouring areas of Essex, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire in England. It is the world's oldest underground railway system. It is usually referred to as the Underground or the Tube - the latter deriving from the shape of the system's deep-bore tunnels - although about 55% of the network is above ground.

 

The earlier lines of the present London Underground network, which were built by various private companies, became part of an integrated transport system (which excluded the main line railways) in 1933 with the creation of the London Passenger Transport Board (LPTB), more commonly known by its shortened name: "London Transport".

 

The Underground has 268 stations and approximately 400 km (250 miles) of track,[1] making it the longest metro system in the world by route length,[4] and one of the most served in terms of stations. In 2007, over one billion passenger journeys were recorded.

Transport for London (TfL) was created in 2000 as the integrated body responsible for London's transport system. It replaced London Regional Transport. It assumed control of London Underground Limited in July 2003.

 

The London Underground's 11 lines are the Bakerloo line, Central line, Circle line, District line, Hammersmith & City line, Jubilee line, Metropolitan line, Northern line, Piccadilly line, Victoria line, and Waterloo & City line.

 

Until 2007 there was a twelfth line, the East London line, but this has closed for rebuilding work. It will be reopen as part of London Overground - part of the National Rail network and eventually connected to its North London Line - in 2010.

 

The Underground has been featured in many movies and television shows, including Sliding Doors, Tube Tales and Neverwhere. The London Underground Film Office handles over 100 requests per month. The Underground has also featured in music such as The Jam's "Down in the Tube Station at Midnight" and in literature such as the graphic novel V for Vendetta. Popular legends about the Underground being haunted persist to this day.

The Underground currently sponsors and contributes to the arts via its Platform for Art and Poems on the Underground projects. Poster and billboard space (and in the case of Gloucester Road tube station, an entire disused platform) is given over to artwork and poetry to "create an environment for positive impact and to enhance and enrich the journeys of ... passengers".[

 

The London Underground's 11 lines are the Bakerloo line, Central line, Circle line, District line, Hammersmith & City line, Jubilee line, Metropolitan line, Northern line, Piccadilly line, Victoria line, and Waterloo & City line. Until 2007 there was a twelfth line, the East London line, but this has closed for conversion work and will be transferred to the London Overground when it reopens in 2010.

 

Transport for London (TfL) was created in 2000 as the integrated body responsible for London's transport system. It replaced London Regional Transport. It assumed control of London Underground Limited in July 2003.

 

TfL is part of the Greater London Authority and is constituted as a statutory corporation regulated under local government finance rules.[22] It has three subsidiaries: London Transport Insurance (Guernsey) Ltd., the TfL Pension Fund Trustee Co. Ltd. and Transport Trading Ltd (TTL). TTL has six wholly-owned subsidiaries, one of which is London Underground Limited.

Sometimes I feel lost, confused and I see problems everywhere. When I am something like this, please... rescue me.

A veces me siento perdido, confundido y veo problemas por todas partes. Cuando esté un poco así, por favor... rescátame.

 

I found this larva today under a leaf of our geranium (shaamdani) flowerpot.

It's a one of dangerous enemy or pest for this kind of plant who eat leafs destructively.

The half of leafs were damaged with this larva and now our lovely geranium plant are peaceful from this glutton enemy.

But it was a great model for my macro photography :)

 

Some information about this insect i collected via web search:

Common name: Cabbage Looper

A mountain caracara (Phalcoboenus megalopterus) taking off at Machu Picchu, Peru. October 2007.

In back of the Stage Harbor Lighthouse at Chatham, Cape Cod. This landing is hidden away a bit on Sears Neck, at the end of a series of winding roads. Though I grew up here I've only just been there for the first time this year. Very odd to find new places in a town only four miles on each side and surrounded by ocean.

8:02 AM, on a Monday: Antwerp-Central railway station platform 6. Just one passenger.

 

The vast (185 metres long, 66 metres wide and 44 metres high) curved roof iron and glass trainshed is designed by Clement van Bogaert and constructed between 1895 and 1899. The station is widely regarded as the finest example of railway architecture in Belgium. It is often referred to as a "Railway Cathedral".

Qualcosa c'è

che ti fa paura

e rende incerto il tuo volo.

Sarà l'idea

che il tempo si consuma

e l'improvviso sei solo,

come un attore hai scelto il ruolo

di chi è sicuro di se,

ma sai benissimo che la tua arte

è nella parte fragile di te.

 

Cerca angoli di cielo

fantastiche visioni,

per dare nuova luce ai tuoi occhi

lasciando entrare tutte le emozioni

senza far finta che l'amore non ti tocchi.

Prendi tutti i suoni

dal frastuono di ogni giorno

cerca tra la gente le parole

segui la tua vita

non lasciarla andare

ora è il momento

 

Perchè non c'è

nessuna differenza

se vinci o se perdi,

quello che conta

che ha più importanza

essere quello che sei.

 

Cerca angoli di cielo

fantastiche visioni,

per dare nuova luce ai tuoi occhi;

lasciando entrare tutte le emozioni

senza far finta che il dolore non ti tocchi.

Prendi tutti i suoni

dal frastuono di ogni giorno

cerca tra la gente le parole

ama la tua vita

non lasciarla andare

ora è il momento

 

Prendi tutti i suoni

dal frastuono di ogni giorno

cerca in ogni notte un po' di sole

ama la tua vita

non lasciarla andare

ora è il momento

non aspettare
