"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 !!

Tip: Never ever miss sunrise or sunset in Udaipur its one of the best location to shoot them.

  

 

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.

Vista del amanecer en Moraira desde las Platgetes mirando hacia el Este. El Cap d'Or retarda la salida del sol en la localidad, pero compensa esa dilación ofreciendo un precioso espectáculo de luz y color en cada amanecer cuando asoma por detrás del cabo, recortando su silueta en la que se yergue, aún altiva, la figura de la torre vigía. Con sus 11 metros de altura y 26 de perímetro, ésta se construyó en tiempos de Felipe II y formaba parte de todo un sistema ideado con el fin de vigilar la costa y proteger a la población de las incursiones de los piratas berberiscos. Así, desde ella podían divisarse las torres vigía de Ifach (Calpe) y Granadella, con lo que, en caso de peligro, era posible comunicar la alerta de inmediato mediante señales.

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.

Starting again with a new day with a new hope with a new photo without stopping till .... i don't know !

photography have kept me going through many things bad , good , sad or happy but among all these feelings , photos were captured , pictures were processed ! life was going on and still going on !

thanks everyone !

and have a nice new day .

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...

 

I haven't been shooting new photos for weeks. Work and travelling is killing me really, I feel like I'm close to a burn out ...So here's another one from the archives. Like the previous post, and this one, and this one and this one, all shot on the same day, April 25 2009. It was a day when conditions were ideal for long exposures...

The Pyrenees also spelled Pyrenées Spanish: Pirineos; French: Pyrénées; Catalan: Pirineus; Occitan: Pirenèus; Aragonese: Perinés; Basque: Pirinioak are a range of mountains in southwest Europe that form a natural border between France and Spain. They separate the Iberian Peninsula from the rest of continental Europe, and extend for about 430 km. For the most part, the main crest forms a massive divider between France and Spain, with the tiny country of Andorra sandwiched in between. The Col d'Aubisque above is a mountain pass in the Pyrenees 30km south of Tarbes and Pau in the department of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques in the Aquitaine region of France. The Aubisque is one of those hors catégorie cols that make the legend of the Tour de France.

 

We were high up in the Pyrenees at the top of the Col d'aubisque even higher at 1,750 m. The weather had been cold, cold enough for snow on the top of the mountains. The white mountain tops are reaching here higher than 2600 meters. The highest peak in the Pyrenees is 3,404 meters high.

 

De Pyreneeën Frans: Pyrénées, Spaans: Pirineos, Catalaans: Pirineus, Baskisch: Pirinioak zijn een gebergte, gelegen op de grens van Spanje en Frankrijk. Het gebergte strekt zich uit over ongeveer 430 kilometer, tussen de Atlantische Oceaan en de Middellandse Zee. De hoogste berg is de Aneto 3404 meter, gelegen in het uiterste noordoosten van het Spaanse Aragón. Het gebergte is ontstaan door de botsing van het Iberisch schiereiland met het Europese continent, gedurende de Alpiene orogenese, vanaf circa 50 miljoen jaar geleden tot heden. De Col d'Aubisque hierboven is een bergpas in de Franse Pyreneeën. De bergpas is vooral bekend van wielrenetappes in bijvoorbeeld de Ronde van Frankrijk.

 

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.

 

www.guggenheim.org/bilbao

 

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.

Facts About Roses (Rose Flowers)

The birthplace of the cultivated Rose was probably Northern Persia (Current IRAN), on the Caspian, or Faristan on the Gulf of Persia.

Historically, the oldest Rose fossils have been found in Colorado, dating back to more than 35 million years ago.

Roses were considered the most sacred flowers in ancient Egypt and were used as offerings for the Goddess Isis. Roses have also been found in Egyptian tombs, where they were formed into funerary wreaths.

Confucius, 551 BC to 479 BC, reported that the Imperial Chinese library had many books on Roses.

Ancient Sumerians of Mesopotamia (in the Tigris-Euphrates River Valley) mentioned Roses in a cuneiform tablet (a system of writing) written in approximately 2860 BC.

The English were already cultivating and hybridizing Roses in the 15th Century when the English War of Roses took place. The winner of the war, Tudor Henry VII, created the Rose of England (Tudor Rose) by crossbreeding other Roses.

While no Black Rose yet exists, there are some of such a deep Red color as to suggest Black.

Roses are omnipresent and grown over all parts of the globe.

The Netherlands is the world's leading exporter of Roses.

The Netherlands, with about 8000 hectares of land under Rose cultivation, is the global leader in Rose cultivation. 54 per cent (about 5000 hectares) of the cultivated land in Ecuador is under Rose cultivation!! Zambia, a small nation, had 80 per cent of its cultivated land under Roses.

Classification of Roses

Broadly, Roses are divided into three classes-

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.

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.

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.
