See the clouds adrift so far below
Ever changing as they come and go;
Makes me wonder why I'm up so high
When really I am down so low
Of all the wonders I was one allowed
I think that I would always choose a cloud,
Always bring my feelings right out loud,
Whether I'm ashamed or proud.
And on this airplane coming home to you,
Sometimes I think I've flown my whole life through,
My whole life through,
As I wing my way to you.
See the clouds, they're giving life below
In colors that the canvas cannot show;
Keeping secrets no one else could know,
For I'm the one who told them so.
Now and then I get up close to you,
Like to stay, but I'm just passing through,
So I'll have to say goodbye,
Until next time I fly.

Apesar da qualidade da imagem não ser boa (câmera muito simples), gostei muito do resultado.
Despite the poor quality of the image (very simple camera), I liked very much the result.
L'Albufera lake, Valencia (Spain). HDR image made up from three different shots. The water is like a mirror as a consequence of the long exposure that has 'silkened' any ripples that there were. The photo was taken when the sun was completely hidden, so it was almost dark. However, depending of your screen, you can see the photo darker than it is.
Comments are welcome and thanks in advance!

While in Seattle with Ryan, visiting my dear friend Matt, we rented a Ford Fusion and went to Portland & Cannon Beach in Oregon. A ways outside of Portland, we picked up a massive amount of dark-room equipment from atop a mountain home, which remained in the trunk & full of chemicals (we later found out). I drove twelve~ hours in two days up and down mountains and in between giant trees.
With Matt sleeping in the back, Ryan and I managed to find our way to Cannon Beach, and wonderfully enough, the exact spot we wanted to photograph. We walked along the beach & taking long exposures (I held my shutter down with my index finger for sixteen minutes, in addition to having done several five to ten minute exposures). After becoming sufficiently cold/exhausted, the three of us climbed into our beloved Fusion to sleep. When I say sleep, I mean rest for fifteen minute intervals, whilst being unable to feel my toes because our dumb asses did not bring blankets. At some point Matt attempted to exit the vehicle, and the alarm went off, potentially blowing our we-are-parked-in-a-condo/hotel-parking-lot-please-do-not-notice-us facade. The Fusion has a pleasant feature un-allowing its inhabitants to exit.
After maybe a couple of hours of choppy sleep, Ryan and I stood on the beach and waited for the sunrise, thusly producing this photograph. One of the most wonderful sights I had ever witnessed. You can see his image here. The tiny person in his photograph is me taking this one :))
This house is next to a railroad tracks near Patapsco State Park. It has a unique look that I've always admired. I took the photo while driving (slowly). This is on Marriottsville Road in Howard County, MD. It looks like this will be the only "significant" snow of the season in Maryland this year.
December began cold and snowy, but the meteorological winter ended yesterday, March 2nd - 2.3 degrees above long-term averages for BWI Airport (Baltimore, USA). Precipitation fell short again this winter in our area. Central Maryland only saw 8.5 inches of snow through February - the sixth skimpiest total in 20 years.

This is a set of 54/ 30 sec exposures captured at ISO400 f3.5. 10mm fisheye, for a total of 27 minutes of startrails.
Saturday was just tooo good a day to waste. Went out at 6 am to get the sunrise on the ice covered lake, back out at 3-ish to shoot a little old house with a fellow flickrite, and after supper, back to the lake to get in the moonrise and of course some star trails. Got to play with the fisheye again!!!!! Will post the others as I get to them.

In cultures where demons and witches are perceived as real, fairy tales may merge into legendary narratives, where the context is perceived by teller and hearers as having historical actuality. However, unlike legends and epics, they usually do not contain more than superficial references to religion and actual places, persons, and events; they take place "once upon a time" rather than in actual times.

Een sprookje is een volksvertelling, een meestal tamelijk kort episch verhaal met veel surrealistische elementen dat veelal is voorzien van een moraal. In een of andere vorm komen ze bij vele volkeren voor. Hoewel sprookjes in het verleden bedoeld waren als vertellingen voor volwassenen, zijn het tegenwoordig meestal verhalen voor kinderen waarin hen spelenderwijs iets over het leven bij wordt gebracht.
Het verhaal begint vaak met de tekst "op een dag" in plaats van de huidige tijd.
Thank you very much to all of you my dear Flickr friends for your so kind comments...!!!

“Granada, en su Diccionario rioplatense, dice así: 'De un jefe revolucionario (cuentan) de la provincia de Sao Paulo en el Brasil, conocido vulgarmente por Tubias, quien, derrotado en 1842, pasó a incorporarse a los farrapos riograndenses, montados él y los pocos que le acompañaban en caballos de la casta y pelo indicados; a los cuales caballos por esta circunstancia, llamaron tubianos, denominación que se generalizó después en el Río de la Plata'..."

Hemsedal is a municipality in the county of Buskerud, Norway. Hemsedal is the second largest ski resort in Norway and has the largest number of millionaires per capita. The Norse form of the name was Hemsudalr. The first element is the genitive case of a rivername Hemsa (now Hemsil), the last element is dalr m 'valley, dale'.
Photo taken from our bungalow with a magnificient view on the Hydnefossen waterfall. Paragliding is a popular sport in Norway. In ridge soaring, pilots fly along the length of a ridge feature in the landscape, relying on the lift provided by the air which is forced up as it passes over the ridge.
Hemsedal is een gemeente in de Noorse provincie Buskerud. De gemeente telde 1909 inwoners. Paragliding wordt redelijk veel beoefend in Noorwegen. Het z.g. soaring is langs een berghelling vliegen en door de hellingstijgwind op dezelfde hoogte blijven, of zelfs hoger komen.
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.

After having all our snow melt in January, we have now had two more large snowfalls (yesterday as much as 30cm). I got out to my favourite spot (on Escarpment Sideroad in Caledon) this morning while the sun shone!

no bagual que sai e esbarra,

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!!

Según la Wikipedia, "Reñaca es un balneario de 1,3 km de extensión en Viña del Mar, Chile. Está ubicado en la desembocadura del estero del mismo nombre. Este balneario del Litoral Central es conocido por ser un importante centro de una animada vida nocturna, en particular durante el verano. Cuenta con una excelente infraestructura hotelera y turística."
Particularmente prefiero Viña, pero he de reconocer que sus playas son espectaculares.
According to Wikipedia, "Reñaca is a resort of 1,3 km from extension in Viña del Mar, Chile. Located in same name tideland river mouth, this resort is known for being an important animated night life center, mainly on summer. It owns an excellent hotel and tourist infrastructure."
In my opinion, I don't enjoy much that night life and I prefer Viña del Mar but I must admit that its beaches are spectacular.
...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."
