Catching up with my fave spot of Toronto's mixed forest :-)
Captured quite a few interesting moments in this spot during February... but first wanted to share this dramatic "after sunset" scene I witnessed recently.
The series Toronto's Mixed Forest
You are most welcome to look through the set or you may like to see it as a slide show.
*** Happy Textured Wednesday! ...at The World Through My Eyes
El sector de cueva larga es uno de los mejores sitios de camping en la sierra nevada de El Cocuy, es muy comodo y queda muy cerca de dos lugares espectaculares, valle de los cojines y la laguna del avellanal.

Happy Miniature Sunday, Purple Hour edition yet again :-)
This is from the last Sunday, when I had a great roof-top photo-session during the snowy purple hour. Captured this purple magic in many of my fave places I tend to photograph from the roof-top, of course, Toy-ronto spots included :-) So do expect more of this long-exposure purple goodness in the near future :-)
More of toy-some tilt-shift fun is coming - stay tuned / bientot a l'ecran ;-)
Part of my Magic Purple Hour series.
Yesterday night went to photograph the street art in back alley ways of china town. This was the first shot I took handheld (with ISO 2000, f/8, 1/13sec) just to check the composition with wide angle, before setting up the tripod. After that I took around 15 shots. Interestingly this one I like the most!
Well, again uploaded two photos in one day and in reverse order!! this one is yesterday's shot! Was too sleepy when came back home to process and upload!
Day 116 of 365
Not the best conditions, it was raining and the sea was flat calm... apart from this little bit of swell in one place on the beach.
First time I've been to this bit of coast as a photographer, it's fantastic, I will be back !

Shot from the bridge under the round tower on this photo (www.flickr.com/photos/dcdead/6641991393/in/photostream/). You can see the bridge from where the other photo was taken in this one (beside the heating plant).
I also have a similar shot to this from a few years ago. See here
By the way: The Ferrari boat is new. The one you can see in the old shot burned down, but the owner got a new one ;-)
'Jacob Grimm wrote that by inscribing "aemaeth" upon the ancient Golem's brow, the clay man lived by drawing energy from the word for "truth". But simply removing the "ae" to form "maeth" or "death" returned the Golem back to inanimate clay.'
'Whereas NATO Golems turn to metal statues in death, spilling blood and oil onto the paving, right?'
'Right, though it takes a little more than harsh language. But the old AE Harpoons are perfect for that. The rocket doesn't penetrate that well-'
'snerk.'
'-but the ability to fire multiple shots overwhelms it with one clip. And Golem legs are under a lot of stress as it is.'
'And Golem jump packs are pretty flammable.'
'Got that right.'

I was really lucky again - the blue sky came out for about 20 minutes - after that it began to hail...
I'm using the Haida 1000x ND filter. I had a B+W before, but it produced a strong red color cast and it cost 90€ with 77mm thread, compared to the 35€ i paid for the Haida, which produces far better colors.
See here how it looks at night - my first photo with over 1000 faves on flickr

"Beautiful Photography of Marco Vianna"
Instantanea tomada junto al puente "neuf" sobre el rio "Agoût" que refleja en sus
aguas los colores de las viviendas colgantes, que dan un toque magistral a esta
encantadora ciudad francesa.
Para captar todo el ancho del rio, y la gran profundidad de campo hacia el puente
viejo, utilizé una lente ultra gran angular, "Sigma 10 ÷ 20 mm EX DC"
El mejor momento para "inmortalizar" este bellisimo paraje, es durante las puestas
de sol, donde las ultimas luces hacen proyectar el cielo, las nubes y los colores de
las casas en las placidas aguas del Agoût, brindando un momento fotografico unico.
# Para esta toma:
Canon EOS 400D Digital + Sigma 10 ÷ 20 mm EX DC
# Obturación: 1/125 seg. ~ Diafragmado: f/ 4 ~ 200 ISO ~ WB: Manual.
# Filtro polarizador.

"My Gear" Album
Taken from my hotel room on the 22nd floor of the Cerulean Tower Hotel in Shibuya , Tokyo .
The Hotel actually had 40 floors on the elevator so I asked the concierge in my most polite japanese if it was possible for me to go higher up to make a photo ?
He said I could from the restaurant but it opens at 11am and unfortunately I had to leave at by 7.30 for the airport . I can only imagine how spectacular that view must have been. Shikata ga nai !
Also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976.
Yesterday was very significant day for our astronomical association. We had meeting with President of Republic of Croatia. He became our honorary member and he will be patronage for next year Ten days of astronomy in Daruvar. We are so proud about this. It's a great honor.
Also we had assembly. It was the occasion for socializing with other astronomers. We were at Petrov vrh, which is at an altitude of 547.00 m. Night was so clear. It was amazing to see so bright sky with so many stars.
Special thanks for making this photo, goes to Alan Jadanic, who was so kind to borrow us his Canon EOS 5D Mark II.

My husband was concerned, the sky was very dark then maybe we would not see sunset in Naples, he had already visited the city and the beaches, but for my sister Miriam, my son, Jose Luis and I, it was our first time, I I told him that the sun would beat the clouds and as we expected this time of sunset, the boat gave us this picture worthy of retention and remember in our hearts.
I did not use textures here just added my signature with my photoshop program.
PLEASE: Do not add your picture (even a miniature) or Flickr river link with your comment, it will be removed.
Yes, the cows came up to me and made my life hell until I gave up and went away.
One of a pair of stones catching the first rays of the morning sun in a field not far from home, I will most likely post a shot of the other one some rainy day.
He tenido la suerte de pillar esta familia de gatos dormitando, aunque nada mas ver que me paraba como podeis ver ya pusieron los cinco sentidos

Iceland[4][5] i/ˈaɪslənd/ (Icelandic: Ísland, IPA: [ˈislant]; see Names for Iceland), officially called Republic of Iceland[6][7][8] and sometimes its counterpart Lýðveldið Ísland in Icelandic (for example this is a part of the name of the Constitution of Iceland, Stjórnarskrá lýðveldisins Íslands), is a Nordic European island country in the North Atlantic Ocean, on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.[9] The country has a population of about 320,000 and a total area of 103,000 km2 (40,000 sq mi).[10] The capital and largest city is Reykjavík,[11] with the surrounding areas in the southwestern region of the country being home to two-thirds of the country's population. Iceland is volcanically and geologically active. The interior mainly consists of a plateau characterised by sand fields, mountains and glaciers, while many glacial rivers flow to the sea through the lowlands. Iceland is warmed by the Gulf Stream and has a temperate climate despite a high latitude just outside the Arctic Circle.
According to Landnámabók, the settlement of Iceland began in AD 874 when the chieftain Ingólfur Arnarson became the first permanent Norse settler on the island.[12] Others had visited the island earlier and stayed over winter. Over the following centuries, Norsemen settled Iceland, bringing with them thralls (serfs) of Gaelic origin. From 1262 to 1918 Iceland was part of the Norwegian and later the Danish monarchies. Until the 20th century, the Icelandic population relied largely on fisheries and agriculture. Industrialisation of the fisheries and Marshall Aid brought prosperity in the years after World War II. In 1994, Iceland became party to the European Economic Area, which made it possible for the economy to diversify into economic and financial services.
Iceland has a free market economy with relatively low taxes compared to other OECD countries,[13] while maintaining a Nordic welfare system providing universal health care and tertiary education for its citizens.[14] In recent years, Iceland has been one of the wealthiest and most developed nations in the world. In 2011, it was ranked as the 14th most developed country in the world by the United Nations' Human Development Index,[3] and the fourth most productive country per capita.[15] In 2008, the nation's entire banking system systemically failed and there was substantial resulting political unrest.
Icelandic culture is founded upon the nation's Norse heritage. Most Icelanders are descendants of Norse (particularly from Western Norway) and Gaelic settlers. Icelandic, a North Germanic language, is closely related to Faroese and some West Norwegian dialects. The country's cultural heritage includes traditional Icelandic cuisine, poetry, and the medieval Icelanders' sagas. Currently, Iceland has the smallest population among NATO members and is the only one with no standing army.

"Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet."
A different view of the Brighton Wheel.
I had a walk along the seafront scouting for shots and found this small but usable puddle for a reflection.
It was raining slightly so there was no big puddles which is what I really wanted.
I got down really low but just out of danger from the cycle route.
The floodlights on the wheel where really bright and I blew the highlights a bit but still like the shot, hope you like it too.
Thanks for all your amazing comments, views and favs.
For your ultimate on the floor experience press 'L' on your keyboard.
Back to the Getty, one more time. :-)) This my first non square crop in a long, long time, love that kind of crop, but have to mix it up if you know what I mean. :-))
Hope everyone is doing great, especially those of you like in the North East USA after that freak snow storm! :-))
The end of the Aeroshell performance. All the team planes lined up on the runway in front of the crowd, spun around and cranked out a load of smoke. What a sight!

Chizuko and I were fortunate enough to take advantage of an after-school program that looks after the kids from 6pm-11pm. Kind of a bulk childcare service for parents that want a night out alone.
A real win-win-win for everyone: Parents (for obvious reasons), Kids (because they *insisted* on going so they could play with their friends!), and the Sitters (who can make economies of scale on the venture, as there are 20+ kids ;-)
Chizuko and I decided, upon the recommendation of good friends, on the "Orange Hill" restaurant which is (as the name implies) on a hill overlooking all of Orange County and parts of Los Angeles.
We had an outside table with absolutely *stunning* views. Easily one of the best dinner views I've ever had.
Shot taken with my point-n-shoot Lumix LX5 of the sunset while we enjoyed a great dinner overlooking where we now live.
Orange County, California
**If you live near this place, do yourself a favor and go about an hour before sunset, and be sure to eat outside at the bar before 7pm, as you get "Happy Hour" prices not only on drinks, but on *food*. Total tab was less than 1/2 what I was expecting to pay and the food was excellent. A real 'value' considering the world-class view.
Hey! I just got back from my trip to the Finger Lakes. I'm going through my shots and trying to catch up now.... I hope you like this picture better then the phone pic I posted a few days ago ;)
I suggest you view this in lightbox by pressing L.
This photograph was taken just sometime after sunrise during mid of last month at Pokhara (Nepal), from a hilltop where World Peace Pagoda is located. Pokhara is very famous for its fabulous mountain views, but due to late monsoon this year, it was all cloud's play this time. The moving cloud formation in that morning created this strong sun ray beam just for a minute, where the heavenly rays came down and lit the lower hanging clouds. I was very fortunate to be on the hilltop at a POV from where I saw this amazing scene. I tried to capture the scene that you can see here, but the beauty seen in naked eye was truly out of the world!
