The Kidron Valley - it is traditionally believed that when the Universal Resurrection is completed , trumpets will sound and the Last Judgment will take place in that Valley. For this reason the site has been a favored burial place for thousands of years. I was told the the price for a place there is over $10,000.
The Dom of the Rock was built on the site of the First and Second Temples in 691. Moslems believe that this is the site of Mohammed's ascent to heaven. The roof was gold-plated in 1994. Tourist are not allowed in the temple, now. As I was told - in the center of the Dome of the Rock is the rock of Mount Moriah on which, according to Jewish tradition, Abraham was about to sacrifice Isaac, while Moslems believe that it was Ishmael. Here stood the ARk of the Covenant in the First Temple.

So, I was shooting the sunrise out at the point on the far left of this frame, pointing to the right over the ocean when I looked up and saw this amazing formation in the strato-cumulus cloud deck. I looked around for some rock formations that lined up with the clouds but saw nothing out there. So, I ran almost a mile down the beach over terrain like you see in the foreground until I finally saw what I wanted.
Fortunately the cloud formation stayed in place long enough for me to capture it here!
Then I waited for a wave to complement the scene and provide definition to the sandstone formation on the right side of the frame. I have never seen anything like
this before or after, so I was quite fortunate!

I have seen this beautiful art of a maple leaf created by nature on my way home from work. I love the sky reflections in the water.
Diese Herbstkunst in der Pfütze mit dem Blatt des Ahorn geschaffen von der Natur sah ich heute auf dem Weg von der Arbeit nach Hause. Mir gefiel die Spiegelung des Himmel im Wasser.

Reichenbachtal: Rosenlauigletscher mit Klein und Gross Wellhorn. Links der Dossen, rechts das Wetterhorn
Der Rosenlauigletscher liegt am Nordostende der Berner Alpen südlich von Meiringen, im Kanton Bern, Schweiz. Er hat eine Länge von 4.5 km bei einer durchschnittlichen Breite von 1 km und bedeckt eine Fläche von ungefähr 6 km². Zu erreichen ist dieser zu Fuss von Rosenlaui.
Seinen Ausgangspunkt nimmt der Rosenlauigletscher im Wetterkessel an der Nordostflanke der Wetterhorngruppe auf einer Höhe von etwa 2800–3500 m ü. M. Der Rosenlauigletscher fliesst in einem etwa 600 m hohen Eisfall aus dem Wetterkessel nach Nordnordosten. Die Gletscherzunge befindet sich derzeit auf einer Höhe von 2000 m ü. M. (Quelle: Wikipedia)
Aufgenommen 2005 mit meiner damaligen Minolta Spiegelreflex in der Nähe vom Eingang zur Gletscherschlucht Rosenlaui.

On Saturday, I dragged out my studio lights, the posing platform, and background drapes. It's been months since I set up my studio gear. I used a very basic lighting setup on this shot. (Simple always seems to work best with animals!) One stobe was pointing at the backdrop, set to 100% power. The other light was bounced out of a white umbrella onto the pugs at 80%. I always have fun playing with the lights and seeing what different setups create.
El Charco de los Clicos es también comúnmente conocido como el Lago Verde. Lógicamente, este lago situado en la localidad de El Golfo, al suroeste de Lanzarote, debe este nombre al color de sus aguas. Está situado junto al borde del Parque Nacional del Timanfaya, con lo que el entorno es muy volcánico, con playas de arena negra. En cambio, es una de estas playas de arena negra hace acto de presencia este lago con ese color verde tan intenso. Los expertos dicen que es debido a un alga muy especial que habita en sus aguas y que las tiñe de ese verde.
Desde este punto Pedro Almodovar vio a una pareja dandose un abrazo y penso en esa pareja y ese pensamiento fue punto de partida para su pelicula "Los abrazos rotos" ambientada en la propia isla de Lanzarote.

One Canada Square (also known as the Canary Wharf Tower) is a skyscraper in Canary Wharf, London. It is the tallest building in the United Kingdom at 800 ft (240 m) above sea level, or 771 ft (235 m) above ground level[5][6] (see height section for other quoted heights). It is the sixth tallest building in the European Union.
One Canada Square is a conspicuous London landmark, clearly visible at a distance from large areas of East and South London in particular.
The tower can be seen approximately 30 miles (50 km) away from the following notable observation places:
. Gore Hill, Amersham, around 28 miles (45 km) away
. ZSL Whipsnade Zoo in Bedfordshire is over 32 miles (51 km) away
. Guildford, around 31 miles (50 km) away
Canary Wharf is a large business and shopping development in London, located in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, centred on the old West India Docks in the London Docklands.
Rivalling London's traditional financial centre, The Square Mile, Canary Wharf contains the UK's three tallest buildings:

After seeing Luke/PhotoInference's many experiments with different colored gels, I settled on green for my attempts at light painting the wreck - I liked the underwater feel the green light gave the shipwreck. Dive in and drift along with the shipwreck.
NOTE: See a new 2014 reprocessing of this image here.
The sky and stars are from just one of three exposures that were combined using masks and layer modes to produce this image. N06966 Sky: 44sec ISO 1600 f2.8 WB set to 3250 in LR; N06967&70 Light painted shipwreck: 118sec sec ISO 1600 f2.8 WB 2950/tungsten; SB24 with green colored gel.

The Neckar bridge made of wood and glass built in 1988 was at 88-m wingspan the longest wooden bridge in Europe. Approx. 1,000 acres glass keep pedestrians and cyclists dry.
The bridge is one of the two pedestrian bridges in Remseck (Region Stuttgart, Germany), at the mouth of the Rems (52 m) into the Neckar (80 m). Both bridges were built on land and then moved over the rivers.
Die Neckarbrücke aus Holz und Glas wurde 1988 gebaut und war seinerzeit mit 88 m die längste Spannbrücke in Europa aus Holz. Ca. 1.000 qm Glasplatten halten die Fussgänger und Radfahrer trocken.
Die Brücke ist eine der beiden Fussgängerbrücken, die in Remseck (bei Stuttgart) an der Mündung der Rems (52 m) in den Neckar (80 m) gebaut wurden. Beide Holzbrücken wurden zunächst an Land gefertigt und anschliessend über die Flüsse geschoben.

Happy Bokeh Wednesday!!
I must be going wacky or something. I looked at these dandelions and saw two things; fingers making a peace sign and a face, well at least the eyes! :-)
Yep, I am going wacky I think! I have to stop uploading these photos so late at night!
Yes, it's scientifically proven: as suggested by nautical expert Valpo, the Sigma transforms boats into bananas!
Taken in Port Andratx, Mallorca, Spain.
HDR from 3 exposures, handheld. Using Nikon D300, and Sigma 10-20, of course!
Have a good day everyone!

The thick fog surrounding the Golden Gate Bridge alternated from being a thick soup to a emerging as a golden veil as it swirled around on this morning. Fog often can produce some excellent atmospheric effects, though it does not always cooperate. Three foghorns echoed against the hills as ships passed by.
The fog allowed parts of the bridge to be hidden so others could be emphasized. It is usually necessary to wait quite a long while in order for the most interesting parts to be visible, as if a painter were composing the image. The wait often pays off but even if it doesn’t, this is a great place to be.
I pay close attention to the local weather conditions at the Golden Gate before I go here, but it is rare that I see conditions align themselves in a way that can produce a really good photograph.
Koh Kood is a part of Koh Chang National Park, it has a more peaceful and pristine atmosphere than any other Island in Thailand. The sandy beaches are great. You can relax beneath the palm trees enjoy a fresh coconut, a good book and bathe in the crystal-clear water. Our resort is located at the beginning of this crescent shaped half moon bay - the Bang Boa Bay.
We stayed at Koh Kood resort. After the rain of last evening the sky cleared this morning. It's such beautiful morning when I woke up I immediately run into the warm sea water. The greatest bath tub of the world.
Koh Kood is een deel van het nationaal park Koh Chang. Een eiland weg van de massa waar je kunt toeven op het witte strand met wuivende palmbomen. Je kunt onder de palmbomen genieten van een verse kokosnoot, een goed boek lezen of ontspannen baden in het warme schone zeewater. Onze bungalow bevindt zich in het begin van deze baai - de Bang Boa Bay.
Portami dove mi devi portare
Africa, Asia o nel primo locale
fammi vedere che cosa vuol dire partire davvero
Portami dove non posso arrivare
dove si smette qualsiasi pudore
fammi sentire che cosa vuol dire viaggiare leggeri
Sei sempre così il centro del mondo
il viaggio potente nel cuore del tempo andata e ritorno
Portami ovunque portami al mare
portami dove non serve sognare
chiedemi il cambio solo se devi, sei brava a guidare
e dopo portami oltre che lo sai fare dove sparisce qualsiasi confine
fammi vedere che cosa vuol dire viaggiare col cuore
Sei sempre così il centro del mondo
il primo bengala sparato nel cielo quando mi perdo
sei sempre così il centro del mondo
ti prendi il mio tempo ti prendi il mio spazio ti prendi il mio meglio
Portami dove mi devi portare Venere,Marte o altri locali
fammi vedere che cosa succede a viaggiare davvero
Sei sempre così il centro del mondo
il primo bengala sparato nel cielo quando mi perdo
sei sempre così il centro del mondo
ti prendi il mio tempo ti prendi il mio spazio ti prendi il mio meglio
Il Centro Del Mondo - Ligabue

L'addio… che tra vento e sabbia mi lasciò memorie ridondandi tra la mente e il cuore. Ne ricordo l'essenza, e l'incapacità di tener dritto il capo vedendola andar via.
(...perche' non sia distante piu' del mio pensiero il tuo respiro.)

The calm before the storm. The air is still and the birds stop singing and go to shelter. The tropical storm is arriving. The rainy season in Thailand is from May till November. During this season you can get some of those torrential rains that last 30 minutes to 2 hours, like this one below then clearing and sun. It was a most spectacular scene and scary too. There is always little to no wind in the eye of storm. Recently the tropical storm Kammuri killed hundreds of people in Vietnam. So always be aware of the danger.
Below you can see the same photo I took 5 minutes later. From the calm before the storm into the windy tropical rain storm.
De stilte voor de storm. Prachtige lange schaduwen op het strand van Koh Kood. Binnen 5 minuten veranderd het weer totaal en is er een totaal ander beeld zoals foto hieronder duidelijk laat zien.
