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.
This is on South Congress just across from the trendy area where everyone likes to sit outside and wait for Sunday Brunch for an hour.
we're locked down in some serious weather today in petoskey. still, i took a walk down to the petoskey waterfront to get some "storm story" pics. at times, due to the blowing snow, it was hard to even see the petoskey D9 beacon, at other times (like in this pic), it cleared up nicely.
update - just in case you're curious, yes, i realize how many times i used the word "petoskey" in this description. i'm in a fierce duel with Odalaigh for supremacy in petoskey picture relevancy.
Living by faith sometimes means walking in the dark, but it never means living without a LIGHT.

baio da venta rasgada
carunchado nos ‘cormilho’...
Foi o que mais me agradou
para sentar meu lombilho...
prá encilhá o venta rasgada
custou uma barbaridade
baixou a cabeça na estância
foi levantar na cidade...”

This image has been replaced. It used to have much brighter colors for a while, but I think they were too bright.

Oceanos são feitos de gotas D água...
Para ser ouvido, fale.
Para ser compreendido,
exponha claramente as suas idéias sem jamais
abrir mão daquelas que julga fundamentais
apenas para que os outros o aceitem.
Acima de tudo,
busque o prazer antes do sucesso,
a auto-realização antes do dinheiro,
fazer bem feito antes de pensar em obter
qualquer recompensa.
Nenhum reconhecimento externo vai substituir
a alegria de poder ser você mesmo:
"status" é comprar coisas que você não quer
com o dinheiro que você não tem a fim de
mostrar para gente que você não gosta uma
pessoa que você não é.
Nada tem graça se não for bom para o seu corpo,
leve para o seu espírito e
agradável para o seu coração.
Para conseguir,
tente sem pensar que o êxito virá logo da primeira vez.
Cuide de ter saúde, energia,
paciência e determinação para continuar
tentando quantas vezes forem necessárias.
Mas ao perceber que já fez tudo o
que pôde ou até mesmo um pouco além,
mude de alvo para não se tornar
em vez de um vitorioso,
apenas mais um teimoso.
Para poder recomeçar sempre,
perdoe-se pelos fracassos e erros que cometer,
aprenda com eles e, à partir deles,
programe suas próximas ações.
Nunca se deixe iludir que será possível
fazer tudo num dia só ou quando
tiver todos os recursos:
tal dia nunca virá.
Para manter-se motivado, sonhe.
Para realizar, planeje,
pensando grande e fazendo pequeno,
um pouco a cada dia e todos os dias um pouco,
porque são pequenas gotas d água que fazem todo grande oceano...

“O queixo atado, a velha doma gaúcha
'son cosas brujas’ qual ponteio de guitarra,
o tempo se vai, um costeio mais
no bagual que sai e esbarra,
outra sova e já se tem pingo pras garras...”
Trecho de “Doma gaúcha”, de Anomar Danúbio Vieira
Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil
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!!

Horsetail Falls in the Columbia River Gorge during the recent cold snap. This gorge always transforms in the most amazing ways during such weather and I was afraid we were going to miss the opportunity this year as it takes about three good days of sub-30 degree weather to pull this off. Lo and behold things froze up last week, probably for the only time until next Winter. It also corresponded quite nicely with my one day off that week, so in spite of the dozen other things I needed to get done, we drove out to the Gorge for a few hours to bask in the icy wonderland. I had just received a pair of Yaktrax for Christmas, so with those strapped on these icy rocks were much easier to navigate.
Taken with a Hasselblad 500C and Fuji Velvia 50 slide film.

Interval between sequences is about 10-15 minutes. An attempt to represent in one image, the various stages of light n it's effects seen thru the 1 hour period.

...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."

Desde el cerro Concepción de Valparaiso, concretamente desde el Brighton Cafe, se tiene esta vista de uno de los mil bellos rincones de Valparaiso. Se trata de la Plaza Aníbal Pinto.
Declarada zona típica y de protección en el año 1976, es una muestra del espíritu de la ciudad en la unión de plan y cerro. Su primer nombre fue La Plaza del Orden y ha sufrido pocas modificaciones en 100 años.
En el centro de ella destaca la Fuente de Neptuno, instalada en 1892, que representa al Dios de las Aguas cabalgando sobre dos dragones, que arrojan agua por sus bocas y a quienes dirige Neptuno con un gran tridente. Desde esta plaza es posible ascender a los cerros Concepción y Alegre.
From Concepcion hill, exactly from Brighton Café, you get this sight of one of thousand beautiful corners of Valparaiso: Aníbal Pinto Square.
Declared typical protection zone in 1976, its first name was Order Square and it has suffered only a few modifications in 100 years.
In the center,it stands Neptune fountain, installed in 1892 represents this God of the Waters leading two dragoons, throwing water from their mouths. From this square it is possible getting to Concepcion and Alegre hills.

Este pajarillo lo encontramos en el jardin, Lunita quiso jugar con él y el pobrecito se asustó y se chocó con la verja, rapidamente lo cogi (temia que Luna le hiciera daño sin querer) y lo entre en casa, solo se quedo atontadito durante un rato, al ver que no tenia heridas lo saque al jardin y lo deje volar para que buscara a su mama.... estuve a puntito de quedarmelo pero estoy segura que lo unico que queria el pobre era volver con su mama alli en el nidito... a que era muy lindo!? :D

SAIL TO THE MOON - Radiohead
I sucked the moon
I spoke too soon
And how much did it cost?
I was dropped from moonbeams
And sailed on shooting stars
Maybe you'll
Be president
But know right from wrong
Or in the flood
You'll build an Ark
And sail us to the moon
Sail us to the moon
Sail to the moon
**************
NAVEGANDO HASTA LA LUNA - Radiohead
Succioné la luna
Hablé demasiado pronto
¿Y cuanto me costó?
Me arrojaron desde los rayos de luna.
Y navegué
sobre estrellas fugaces.
Tal vez llegues a presidente
Pero diferencia
lo correcto de lo erróneo
o en la inundación
construirás un Arca
Y nos llevarás navegando hasta la luna
nos llevarás navegando hasta la luna
nos llevarás navegando hasta la luna
nos llevarás navegando hasta la luna.
nuvens em nova versão :)

This is another picture taken this morning at sunrise near Sankathi Ghat along river Ganga in Varanasi (Benaras).
It belongs to the series of a new topic about wrestlers in Varanasi which I am showing here with no PP work for a change.
This is Vinod who is also trained by a Russian coach, he has also a little "shop" down the ghat where the gym is standing where he is selling pan, thea, water and sweets.
The gym where we did those pictures is facing river Ganga which gave this vivid colors so early in the morning.
Pehlwan means wrestler in Hindi.

The Nescio Bridge connects Amsterdam with IJburg via Diemen.
The bridge was opened on the 9th of April to make a better connection with Amsterdam Central Station, Amsterdam suburb Watergraafsmeer and IJburg.
It is the largest bike-pedestrian bridge in the Netherlands and is 780 meters or 2560 ft.
I live just 25 meters from the bridge and you can look inside my room when you’re standing on the bridge.
