With bright clear skies and little wind, the reflections were great this afternoon. I took a photo from about this same location 4 weeks ago, and the comparison shoes fall is definitely here. www.flickr.com/photos/123895834@N08/15054193869/

This dragonfly was seen this autumn at Lake Lotus Park in Altamonte Springs, Florida, USA. I like its blue - green eyes.
These vertical crops show a lot more detail in large size.

Chicago 'L' (sometimes written as "el", short for "elevated") is the rapid transit system serving the city of Chicago and some of its surrounding suburbs, in the U.S. state of Illinois. It is operated by the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA). It is the fourth largest rapid transit system in the United States in terms of total route length (at 102.8 miles (165.4 km) long and the third busiest rail mass transit system in the United States after the New York City Subway and the Washington Metro. Chicago's 'L' provides 24-hour service on some portions of its network, being one of only four heavy rail rapid transit systems in the United States (the 'L', New York City Subway, PATH, and Philadelphia's PATCO Speedline) to do so. The oldest sections of the 'L' started operations in 1892, making it the second-oldest rapid transit system in the Americas, after Boston's "T". The 'L' has been credited with fostering the growth of Chicago's dense city core that is one of the city's distinguishing features. The 'L' consists of eight rapid transit lines laid out in a spoke-hub distribution paradigm mainly focusing transit towards the downtown Loop. Although the 'L' gained its nickname because large parts of the system are elevated, portions of the network are also in subway tunnels, at grade level, or open cut. In 2013 the 'L' had an average of 726,459 passenger boardings each weekday, 456,993 each Saturday, and 328,553 each Sunday.
The older section seen here at Wilson (1900 W.) and Wolcott (4550 N.) runs over, and in places has been taken over by, a very nice lady's back garden.

Happy 57th Birthday, Malaysia!
Please enjoy another aerial view of the metropolis that we know as Kuala Lumpur!
In the lower right of the image, you can see the curvature of the River Klang. A major highway flanks both sides of the Klang, where it will eventually meet its tributary, the River Gombak. The meeting of these two rivers is the foundation that gives Kuala Lumpur its name (“Muddy Confluence” in English).
I wish I had had more time to explore, but the memories and experiences were and continue to be unforgettable. In my most recent blog entry, I describe my encounter with the Malaysian military and the full experience of my aerial photography flight with the pilot who initially refused to land the plane upon my request. If you’re interested, the article is called, “A (Somewhat) Comedic Conflict of Cultures above Kuala Lumpur”.
Silakan! Jumpa lagi! / Enjoy! See you soon!

L'acropoli è un termine (derivato dal greco ἄκρος "akros", alto, πὸλις "polis", città) che originariamente indicava la parte più alta della polis greca. Estendendone il significato, può essere chiamata "acropoli" la parte più eminente e fortificata di un'antica città.
Nella Grecia antica indicava quella parte della città che veniva costruita per ragioni difensive sulla sommità di un'altura e spesso cinta da mura. Iniziata a diffondersi nell'età del bronzo, la "parte alta" delle città greche, come Atene, in età micenea era il luogo di residenza del re, ma col tempo divenne il centro religioso dell'abitato, sede di templi e luoghi di riunione.

Industrial bin after loading with building rubble hanging at chains seen against deep blue clear sky
On my way home from work I saw this container hanging at a construction crane in the air. I already wanted to leave the construction area behind me. Then I turned round and went back, thought this might be a nice shot ;-).

I'm still here but I have not so much time to upload. Hope you are all well. Wish you all a nice weekend and a happy summer :) !

Le Chrysler Building est un gratte-ciel situé à New York, aux États-Unis, et plus précisément à l’intersection de la Lexington Avenue et de la 42e rue, dans le quartier de Midtown dans l'arrondissement de Manhattan. D'une hauteur de 319 mètres jusqu'à la pointe de sa flèche, il fut la plus haute structure du monde, après la tour Eiffel (324m), en 1930 et 1931, jusqu'à la construction de l'Empire State Building.
En 2005, un sondage du Skyscraper Museum auprès de personnes dont le métier est lié à l'architecture a fait ressortir le Chrysler Building comme étant leur gratte-ciel favori de New York.
La construction du Chrysler Building, supervisée par l'architecte américain William Van Alen, s’est étalée entre 1928 et 1930, l'inauguration ayant eu lieu le 27 mai 1930. Il a été déclaré National Historic Landmark le 8 décembre 1976. Le Chrysler Building a été rénové en 1978, avec la construction d'un hall, composé essentiellement de marbre, d'acier et de granite, semblable à celui de l’Empire State Building. En outre, la flèche a été rénovée en 1995, car l’acier inoxydable avait perdu de son éclat avec le temps. Le bâtiment appartient aujourd’hui à Abu Dhabi Investment Council (75 %) et à Tishman Speyer Properties (25 %).

The Chrysler Building is an Art Deco style skyscraper in New York City, located on the east side of Manhattan in the Turtle Bay area at the intersection of 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue. At 1,046 feet (319 m), the structure was the world's tallest building for 11 months before it was surpassed by the Empire State Building in 1931. It is still the tallest brick building in the world, albeit with an internal steel skeleton. After the destruction of the World Trade Center, it was again the second-tallest building in New York City until December 2007, when the spire was raised on the 1,200-foot (365.8 m) Bank of America Tower, pushing the Chrysler Building into third position. In addition, The New York Times Building, which opened in 2007, is exactly level with the Chrysler Building in height. Both buildings were then pushed into 4th position, when the under construction One World Trade Center surpassed their height.
The Chrysler Building is a classic example of Art Deco architecture and considered by many contemporary architects to be one of the finest buildings in New York City. In 2007, it was ranked ninth on the List of America's Favorite Architecture by the American Institute of Architects. It was the headquarters of the Chrysler Corporation from 1930 until the mid-1950s. Although the building was built and designed specifically for the car manufacturer, the corporation did not pay for the construction of it and never owned it, as Walter P. Chrysler decided to pay for it himself, so that his children could inherit it.

A cidade de Malmo, devastada por um passado industrial, é hoje conhecida por a sua universidade e os seus prédios verdes. Malmo foi uma das primeiras e mais industrializadas cidades da Escandinávia, mas teve de fazer um enorme esforça para se adaptar ao pós-industrialismo. Desde a construção da ponte de Oresund, Malmo sofreu uma grande transformação com a evolução arquitetónica, atraindo nova biotecnologia e empresas de topo e particularmente, alunos de todo o mundo para a Universidade de Malmo, fundada em 1998. A cidade tem muitos edifícios históricos e belíssimos parques naturais que fazem dela uma cidade verde e bastante atrativa para se viver.
Como é belo o entardecer na cidade de Malmo, um entardecer que na maioria das vezes nos passa completamente ao lado, tal é a nossa ânsia de viver, um momento que deveria ser vivido com a mesma intensidade com que se vivem as grandes ocasiões da nossa vida. O pôr-do-sol é normalmente mais brilhante do que o nascer do sol, pois a matiz do vermelho e laranja são mais intensas e vibrantes. A atmosfera responde de diversas formas à exposição da luz solar, em particular, no final do dia, pois a atmosfera tende a reter uma quantidade maior de partículas em suspensão do que no início do dia. Durante o dia, o sol aquece a superfície terrestre, diminuindo assim a humidade do ar e aumentando a velocidade e a turbulência dos ventos, o que acaba por levantar a poeira para o ar. Contudo, as diferenças entre o nascer do sol e o pôr-do-sol, em alguns casos, também dependem das peculiaridades geográficas do local de onde o evento está a ser observado.
Aqui em Malmo, o entardecer de repente tornou-se diferente, mais belo e chamativo que o habitual, mais mágico e encantador, mais atrativo luminoso e delicado, talvez por ter sido o pôr-do-sol mais a norte da Europa que tenhamos presenciado. Diz a ciência que a luz do Sol sofre um desvio gerado pela atmosfera, por isso, o sol ainda pode ser visto depois de já estar atrás do horizonte físico. Este efeito também se manifesta durante o nascer do sol. Outra curiosidade gerada pela distorção da luz solar pela atmosfera é que o sol também aparenta ser maior no horizonte, uma ilusão de ótica similar a que ocorre com a Lua.

Le pont de Manhattan est un pont suspendu de la ville de New York au-dessus de l'East River, qui relie la partie inférieure de l'île de Manhattan à l'arrondissement de Brooklyn. Les travaux du pont commencèrent en 1901, le 31 décembre 1909, le pont fût ouvert au public, mais sa construction (d'un coût de 31 millions de dollars de l'époque) n'était pas encore achevée. Il sera complètement terminé en 1912.
Le pont possède deux niveaux de circulation. Le niveau supérieur offre quatre voies pour les véhicules, deux dans chaque sens. Sur le niveau inférieur, on trouve 3 voies pour les véhicules, quatre voies ferrées pour le métro et une allée pour les piétons. À ce niveau, le sens de circulation peut être modulé selon les besoins du trafic : les trois voies dans le même sens, ou deux voies dans un sens et une à l'opposé.

The Manhattan Bridge is a suspension bridge that crosses the East River in New York City, connecting Lower Manhattan (at Canal Street) with Brooklyn (at Flatbush Avenue Extension). It was the last of the three suspension bridges built across the lower East River, following the Brooklyn and the Williamsburg bridges. The bridge was opened to traffic on December 31, 1909 and was designed by Leon Moisseiff, who later designed the infamous original Tacoma Narrows Bridge that opened and collapsed in 1940. It has four vehicle lanes on the upper level (split between two roadways). The lower level has three lanes, four subway tracks, a walkway and a bikeway. The upper level, originally used for streetcars, has two lanes in each direction, and the lower level is one-way and has three lanes in peak direction. It once carried New York State Route 27 and later was planned to carry Interstate 478. No tolls are charged for motor vehicles to use the Manhattan Bridge.
The Sea Arch Stack, Crohy Head, Maghery, County Donegal, Ireland
The first time I seen this amazing natural formation I thought it looked like something from the Prehistoric Ages!
It is located on a small peninsula called Crohy Head. Very difficult to climb down too and you even have to use a rope that is attached to some rocks on the cliff face!

Kinvara Docks overlooking Dunguaire Castle, County Galway, Ireland
This was the most unexpected sunrise I’ve ever witnessed. Luck was certainly on my side this particular morning. I looked out from my motorhome window at 6.15am and seen the sun rising from behind the historic Dunguaire Castle casting this golden light across the entire bay. I wasted not a single moment and in my bed clothes I grabbed my camera, stumbled out the door half asleep and ran onto the pier to capture this image
This image always reminds me on why I love Landscape photography so much and why I dedicate so much time, effort and money into it..... Because moments like these are worth everything to me
"If you ever go across the sea to Ireland,
Then maybe at the closing of your day,
You will sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh
And see the sun go down on Galway Bay"

話說攝影人真是強大，帶著初來乍到的朋友們來到空間有限的大石塊，讓朋友們安置好後，準備起身到下方攝點，無意間手電筒照射到步道另一側山坡，也被弄出了一小塊平台，這樣剛好石塊上四人，平台上兩人，大家全都能繼續邊聊邊拍了~ :目 ~~ 攝影人真是強大 XDDD

Incorporating many elements into a wide angle shot could be even more challenging than the use of a telephoto lens to isolate one element in abstract, because it is hard to crop out unwanted item, but it could be extremely satisfying if done successfully. The context it provides to the scene brings back fond memory of the original experience and allows one to discover after.
Can anyone help me explain the purpose of those fences ? They were kind of in the way at first when I tried to find a good spot to shoot at the scene. But looking back, the fantastic interest and perspective it offered is priceless.

No último sábado (21/04/14), alcancei a incrível marca de 500.000 visitas no Flickr! Meio milhão!!! Isso me fez rever toda minha trajetória de aprendizado, e estou muito feliz e grato com tudo que tem acontecido! Comecei a clicar com câmeras compactas, apaixonado pelo ilimitado mundo da fotografia. Com o tempo, fui ampliando meus próprios limites e os limites das coisas com as quais trabalhava. Ampliei meus horizontes e hoje estou aqui, ainda com infinitas coisas a aprender...
Hoje vivemos em um tempo onde a fotografia popular é dominada pela tecnologia e seus megapixels, mas, como manter a paixão, a sensibilidade perante toda a robotização massificada que nos permeia? Como todos deveríamos saber, o mais difícil de ser adquirido é tudo aquilo que o dinheiro não pode comprar... É necessária muita dedicação, sensibilidade e responsabilidade quando se pretende registrar obras divinas, lugares e pessoas em segundos únicos e irreplicáveis. Cada instante congelado é uma máquina do tempo, uma lembrança de algo que nunca mais irá se repetir, não importa o que aconteça, cada segundo é único nos bilhões de anos do universo, e a fotografia é - para além disso -, uma forma de rever velhos átomos, de fazer memoráveis átimos voltarem à vida! Sou, a cada dia, mais apaixonado pelo que faço!
E você, em que está sua paixão? O que dá sentido a sua vida e faz tudo valer a pena?

In last Saturday (04/12/14), reached a awesome staggering of 500.000 hits on Flickr! Half a million!!! It made me revise my entire career learning, and I am very happy and grateful for everything that has happened! I started clicking with compact cameras, passionate with unlimited world of photography. Over time, I expanded my own limits and the limits of things that worked. Widened my horizons and I am here today, even with endless things to learn...
Today we live in a time where popular photography is dominated by technology and its megapixels, but, how to keep the passion, the sensitivity before all the massive robotization that permeates us? As we all should know, the most difficult to acquire is everything that money cannot buy... Are necessary a lot of dedication, sensitivity and responsibility when it intends to register divine works, places and people in unique and unrepeatable seconds. Each frozen instant is a time machine, a memory of something that will never be repeated , no matter what happens, every second is unique in the billions of years of universe, and the photography is - moreover - a way of reviewing old atoms and make memorable moments return to live! Every day I am more passionate about what I do!
And you? What is your passion? What gives meaning to your life and makes it all worthwhile?
