Koh Kood is a part of Koh Chang National Park, it has a more peaceful and pristine atmosphere than any other Island in Thailand. The sandy beaches are great. You can relax beneath the palm trees enjoy a fresh coconut, a good book and bathe in the crystal-clear water. Our resort is located at the beginning of this crescent shaped half moon bay - the Bang Boa Bay.
We stayed at Koh Kood resort. After the rain of last evening the sky cleared this morning. It's such beautiful morning when I woke up I immediately run into the warm sea water. The greatest bath tub of the world.
Koh Kood is een deel van het nationaal park Koh Chang. Een eiland weg van de massa waar je kunt toeven op het witte strand met wuivende palmbomen. Je kunt onder de palmbomen genieten van een verse kokosnoot, een goed boek lezen of ontspannen baden in het warme schone zeewater. Onze bungalow bevindt zich in het begin van deze baai - de Bang Boa Bay.
Portami dove mi devi portare
Africa, Asia o nel primo locale
fammi vedere che cosa vuol dire partire davvero
Portami dove non posso arrivare
dove si smette qualsiasi pudore
fammi sentire che cosa vuol dire viaggiare leggeri
Sei sempre così il centro del mondo
il viaggio potente nel cuore del tempo andata e ritorno
Portami ovunque portami al mare
portami dove non serve sognare
chiedemi il cambio solo se devi, sei brava a guidare
e dopo portami oltre che lo sai fare dove sparisce qualsiasi confine
fammi vedere che cosa vuol dire viaggiare col cuore
Sei sempre così il centro del mondo
il primo bengala sparato nel cielo quando mi perdo
sei sempre così il centro del mondo
ti prendi il mio tempo ti prendi il mio spazio ti prendi il mio meglio
Portami dove mi devi portare Venere,Marte o altri locali
fammi vedere che cosa succede a viaggiare davvero
Sei sempre così il centro del mondo
il primo bengala sparato nel cielo quando mi perdo
sei sempre così il centro del mondo
ti prendi il mio tempo ti prendi il mio spazio ti prendi il mio meglio
Il Centro Del Mondo - Ligabue

The story:
---------
Soon after I made the photo "Passageway", my first flickr upload, the moon came out and with the last remaining light in the sky I saw this scene. Most of the light is from the intentionally overexposed moon. It is a thin crescent but it looks full because I exposed the scene for the light on the water, not for the moon! 2 minutes also allowed the moon to move a bit, making it appear even larger!

The Alps (French: Alpes; German: Alpen; Italian: Alpi; Romansh: Alps; Slovene: Alpe) is the name for one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east, through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. The word "Alps" was taken via French from Latin Alpes (meaning "the Alps"), which may be influenced by the Latin words albus (white) or altus (high) or more likely a Latin rendering of a Celtic or Ligurian original.
The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc, at 4,808 metres (15,774 ft), on the Italian-French border. All the main peaks of the Alps can be found in the list of mountains of the Alps and list of Alpine peaks by prominence.
The Alps are generally divided into the Western Alps and the Eastern Alps. The division is along the line between Lake Constance and Lake Como, following the Rhine. The Western Alps are higher, but their central chain is shorter and curved; they are located in Italy, France and Switzerland. The Eastern Alps (main ridge system elongated and broad) belong to Austria, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovenia and Switzerland.
The Alps are a classic example of what happens when a temperate area at lower altitude gives way to higher elevation terrain. Elevations around the world which have cold climates similar to those found in polar areas have been called alpine. A rise from sea level into the upper regions of the atmosphere causes the temperature to decrease. The effect of mountain chains on prevailing winds is to carry warm air belonging to the lower region into an upper zone, where it expands in volume at the cost of a proportionate loss of heat, often accompanied by the precipitation of moisture in the form of snow or rain.

The Trot is a two beat diagonal gait of the horse where the diagonal pairs of legs move forward at the same time. There is a moment of suspension between each beat.
From the standpoint of the balance of the horse, the trot is a very stable gait, and the horse need not make major balancing motions with its head and neck. This is a common gait that the horse is worked in for dressage, due to its many variations.
The speed of a regular working trot is averages 8 to 12 km/h (5 to 10 mph), up to 19 km/h (12 mph) in a horse driving trials marathon. Harness racing horses are considerably faster. Other variations, such as the "jog trot" used in western pleasure competition, may be much slower.

Who loves to sing arias? The State Opera in Stuttgart was built between 1909 - 1912 (architect Max Littmann) and belongs to the State Theatre. It is beautifully situated near the Eckensee in the castle garden. I love this building and the architecture. - This photo was taken 2006 with my Minolta SLR Camera.

According to traditional Astrology, Jupiter and Neptune together rule the oceans and seas.
Maybe you’ll find interesting the following text.. :)
Planet of Luck Jupiter is the thinking person's Planet. As the guardian of the abstract mind, this Planet rules higher learning and bestows upon us a yen for exploring ideas, both intellectually and spiritually. Intellectually speaking, Jupiter assists us in formulating our ideology. In the more spiritual realm, Jupiter lords over religions and philosophy. A search for the answers is what Jupiter proposes, and if it means spanning the globe to find them, well, that's probably why Jupiter also rules long-distance travel. In keeping with this theme, Jupiter compels us to assess our ethical and moral values; it also addresses our sense of optimism.
Luck and good fortune are associated with Jupiter for good reason. This is a kind and benevolent Planet, one which wants us to grow and flourish in a positive way. Jupiter may be judge and jury, but it's mostly an honorable helpmate, seeing to it that we're on the right path. While our success, accomplishments and prosperity are all within Jupiter's realm, this largely can, at times, deteriorate into laziness and sloth (Jupiter, at its worst, is associated with weight gain!). More often than not, however, Jupiter will guide us down the primrose path.
It takes Jupiter about twelve years to circle the Zodiac (the Planet visits an average of one Sign a year). It is masculine energy and rules both Sagittarius and Pisces and the Ninth and Twelfth Houses.
Neptune's glyph is the trident of Poseidon, God of the Seas. Much about this Planet is fluid (Neptune rules the oceans of the Earth), changeable and illusory in nature. Dreams, illusion, abstract thought and the mysterious are all governed by Neptune. Our spirituality is important to this Planet, and how we harness that energy for our personal betterment. Neptune invites us to let its energy wash over us and to use a meditative state to gain insights and heightened awareness. Poetry, music and dance are among the trance-like activities which this Planet favors.
It takes Neptune 165 years to complete its whirl around the Zodiac, spending roughly 14 years at each Sign. It is feminine energy and rules Pisces and the Twelfth House . Neptune is known as the higher octave of Venus and is the second of the transcendental Planets.

Cropped from a wide angle 8 second exposure. This was taken at the end of the storm. The tornado sirens kept us in the basement when it was really lightning up.
My method, your results may vary: set camera on tripod under cover of garage, wide angle lens in general direction of lightning, full manual operation of camera, manual focus on infinity, ISO 100, 8 sec exposure (fastest for SD card write in my camera, 10+ seconds took too long between shots) with f/8 or f/9 (depends on shutter speed and sky lightness; I try to get a dark image when there is no lightning in the frame). Press shutter, when done, press shutter again, and again, and again (as long as lightning is in the area). Out of 120 photos, 7 had lighting; this was the best and still needed a crop. The wide angle worked best for me as it more likely captured the entire lightning bolt.
Of course luck plays a role in it too!
Yay, made it to the front page of Explore and as high as #2.

My spouse got herself a nice new little camera and she snapped this pic up at the “Burgess Shale - Walcott Quarry”. The very knowledgeable guides were asked a question regarding a new theory, and since I had already spent a day with the scientist in question, I found that I was adding my own two bits worth to their answer. Here, I'm caught in the act.
That is Mount Wapta on the right. We have basically hiked over a pass and along scree slopes under the peak to get here. Michael Peak and Emerald Glacier in the background.

"...E o malabruja, quando esconde o toso,
nós 'esporiemo' bem no sangrador...
Em rancho de china, se 'campiemo' amor,
'entremo' sem sono e 'garantimo' o poso..."
Trecho de "Os 'loco' lá da Fronteira", de Anomar Danúbio Vieira
Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil
The Geneva lake lies on the course of the Rhone. The river has its source at the Rhone Glacier near the Grimsel Pass to the east of the lake and flows down through the Canton of Valais, entering the lake between Villeneuve and Le Bouveret, before flowing slowly towards its egress at Geneva. Other tributaries are La Dranse, L'Aubonne, La Morges, La Venoge, La Vuachère, and La Veveyse.
Lake Geneva is the largest body of water in Switzerland, and greatly exceeds in size all others that are connected with the main valleys of the Alps. It is in the shape of a crescent, with the horns pointing south, the northern shore being 95 km (59 mi), the southern shore 72 km (45 mi) in length. The crescent form was more regular in a recent geological period, when the lake extended to Bex, about 18 km (11 mi) south of Villeneuve.
The detritus of the Rhone has filled up this portion of the bed of the lake, and it appears that within the historical period the waters extended about 2 km (1.2 mi) beyond the present eastern margin of the lake. The greatest depth of the lake, in the broad portion between Évian-les-Bains and Lausanne, where it is just 13 km (8.1 mi) in width, has been measured as 310 m (1,020 ft), putting the bottom of the lake at 62 m (203 ft) above sea level. The lake's surface is the lowest point of the cantons of Valais and Vaud.
The beauty of the shores of the lake and of the sites of many of the places near its banks has long been celebrated. However it is only from the eastern end of the lake, between Vevey and Villeneuve, that the scenery assumes an Alpine character. On the south side the mountains of Savoy and Valais are for the most part rugged and sombre, while those of the northern shore fall in gentle vine-covered slopes, thickly set with villages and castles.
The snowy peaks of the Mont Blanc are shut out from the western end of the lake by the ridge of the Voirons[clarification needed], and from its eastern end by the bolder summits of the Grammont, Cornettes de Bise and Dent d'Oche, but are seen from Geneva, and between Nyon and Morges. From Vevey to Bex, where the lake originally extended, the shores are enclosed by comparatively high and bold mountains, and the vista terminates in the grand portal of the defile of St. Maurice, cleft to a depth of nearly 2,700 m (8,900 ft) between the opposite peaks of the Dents du Midi and the Dent de Morcles.
The shore between Nyon and Lausanne is called La Côte because it is "flatter". Between Lausanne and Vevey it is called Lavaux and is famous for its hilly vineyards.
