O nome da praia foi dado em função dos moçambiques, molusco semelhante à ostra, encontrados em suas areias. No entanto, ela também é conhecida por Praia Grande.
A mais extensa praia da Ilha conta com 7,5 km de areias claras e macias, quase intocadas pelo ser humano. Por fazer parte do Parque Florestal do Rio Vermelho, uma reserva de aproximadamente 400 mil metros quadrados com vegetação predominante de pinus, não há construção alguma no local. A paisagem torna-se ainda mais árida com as dunas, que cortam a linha entre a vegetação rasteira e o oceano.
O mar é aberto, de tombo (a profundidade aumenta abruptamente, após uns poucos passos em direção ao mar) e com ondas agitadas. O contato com a Corrente das Malvinas torna a água muito fria. Embora essas características não atraiam muitos banhistas, a praia, que costumava ser semi-deserta, fica razoavelmente movimentada na alta temporada, com muitos surfistas que vêm de outras cidades. Mesmo assim, ainda é uma das mais vazias da Ilha.
Distância da praia ao centro: 29 km

The name of the beach was given in terms of Mozambique, clam-like mollusk found in its sands. However, it is also known as Big Beach.
The longest beach of the Island has 7.5 km of white sand and soft, almost untouched by humans. For part of the Red River National Forest, a reserve of approximately 400 thousand square meters with dominant vegetation of pine, there is some construction on site. The landscape becomes more arid in the dunes, which cut the line between the undergrowth and the ocean.
The sea is open, fall (the depth increases abruptly, after a few steps towards the sea) and choppy waves. The contact with the Malvinas current makes the water very cold. Although these features do not attract many swimmers, the beach, which used to be semi-desert, is fairly busy during the high season, with many surfers who come from other cities. Still, it is one of the most empty of the island.
Distance from the beach to the center: 29 km

Just thought of posting something which reminded me of one of my favorite films of all time - Inception, directed by the great Christopher Nolan. I miss Boston!
Hope you all have a great weekend!

We have been having some great fall weather lately, minus clouds! This past Sunday I saw that we had a few clouds in the sky and thought it was going to be an epic sunset tonight! My fellow Flickr friend, Dene www.flickr.com/photos/denemiles/ saw it too! We were going to meet up at the Alki Point Lighthouse, but both decided en route, that the sky above the city was blowing up!
So we had a blast witnessing the show from West Seattle. My other Flickr friend Matt www.flickr.com/photos/cedergreenphoto/ was unfortunately late to the show! The color had died down by the time he arrived! Oh well, next time! Still we had a great time shooting the Seattle skyline as it turned into the "Blue Hour."
This is a combination of three exposures (-2,0,+2) merged and tonemapped in Photomatix. I cropped in Photoshop and did some selective dodging and burning, as well as ran through Topaz Adjust to regain details. I added a slight vignette in Lightroom as well as decreased the saturation of the colors. I also did slight noise removal and sharpened a bit.
Thank you for your views, comments and faves. I appreciate them. Hope everyone is enjoying their fall weather. I look forward to the change of color and the crispness to the air that the change of seasons provides! I also look forward to all the great images my friends will be posting shortly!
Please do not use my images on blogs or websites without my permission. Contact me if you would like to license an image. Thank you.
Misty morning (at last).
Three exposure HDR. First time I've used photomatix for a couple of years, it's improved !
Desperté y pensé que hoy podría pillar un bonito amanecer, me asomé a mi ventana y vi con grata sorpresa que las estrellas nos hacían compañía, así que tome mi mochila con todos los utensilios de fotografía y el trípode y me puse de camino hacia el puerto de el Musel, pero mi sorpresa fue que no dejan hacer fotos desde ahí, así que me quede al lado en la playa del Arbeyal y he aquí lo que dio de si este amanecer, creo que he acertado en levantarme e ir a fografiarlo.
Decir que ya tengo permiso para poder fotografiar desde el Musel jejeeee
Un abrazo a tod@s
Espero sea de vuestro agrado

What are all those aircraft doing to all my lovely star trails. Those vandals! And who made the sky a muddy brown?!
There was no moon on this night so all the light is supplied by light leakage from the 7 million inhabitants of the San Francisco Bay Area - yes, even the light on the face of the mountain is from light pollution.
The brown resulted because the exposures were started later in the evening - long after twilight. Without the moon to "blue up" the sky the stray light of low pressure sodium vapor lamps and tungsten lights works its muddy deed. When I get a few months I may try to REMOVE all of those aircraft trails from the SFO and OAK airport it seems, however, that it's like trying to paint out graffiti on a Los Angeles Freeway...
If you want to know more about Mission Peak I wrote a lovely article on my blog.
If you're wondering "Steven, how do you get these long exposures late at night - the park closes at 10 pm" the answer is: I'm already home asleep! I make my camera do the work by itself. If you do happen to see a camera all by itself in Mission Peak Preserve... please leave it alone - it doesn't take well to strangers ;-)

Ngorkkkkk!!! Sheytness!!! I am getting bored with my own uploads. They are all of the same orientation.

I did not touch it. Posted as it was caught...
Beauty is always everywhere !
I drove to the city last Friday for a sunrise and a storm hit just as I exited the expressway. By the time I arrived at the lakeshore, the rain ceased and the sun lit the underbelly of these gorgeous storm clouds.
Though the sun never broke through the clouds, it ended up being a beautiful morning. I hiked through the prairie grasses, the marshes and the bird sanctuary. I chatted up a couple of bird photographers along the way. They were all agog over having spotted a 'sora rail.' I didn't see it and had no idea what it was. I think my bumbling along scared away this 'secretive' bird! I stuck to the prairie flowers and the skyline view, an 'unobstructed view' after the clouds broke! For your 'unobstructed view' take a peek in the lightbox!

Aquí teneis la cuarta entrega de la serie de mis vacaciones por tierras de Cantabria, que como podeis ver no es una gran imagen para la belleza del lugar que vieron mis ojos.
Las condiciones de luz eran muy complejas con niebla y luz alta a la derecha y bastante penumbra a la izquierda.
Aún así es tan hermosa la visión de estos paisajes que quiero compartirla con vosotros.
Dedicada a Emilio Pastor por su cumpleaños. Felicidades maestro!!! No es gran cosa pero... es lo que hay.

The original Emerald Lake until it was renamed, Lake Louise. The night was so still. I was standing near the dock listening to the creak of wood. Every sound seemed to be louder than it was. I kept thinking a bear would walk behind me or a wolverine would attack. I was with other photographers, but you just never know when you're apart from the crowd... The saying goes, 'you just have to be faster than one'.

To say Portland has quite a few bicyclists is an understatement. I don’t know the exact percentage but it would be fair to guess there is probably a cyclist for every person owning a camera of some sort (the gross amount of Portland photographers is another story).
Most of them know their road rights and will prove it if you happen to cut them off. As you walk the streets of Portland, depending on how long you roam, you will probably hear a cyclist or two cursing a motorist for infringing on their space. The screaming and yelling has become so common I don’t notice it anymore. It’s like listening to the adults on a Charlie Brown cartoon: all I hear is “wah waaah wah waaah wah waaaahhhh.”
I can see their point, though. After all, it is common knowledge there have been quite a few deaths because of motorists not paying attention to the cycle lanes. There are “ghost bikes” in place representing a person who was killed at that particular spot. Cyclists are constantly on guard to make sure they are seen so they don’t become a victim themselves. I am sympathetic to their plight. I guess I would be even more sympathetic if a lot of those same cyclists obeyed all of the rules of the road, too.
I can’t tell you how many close calls I’ve had with cyclists who seem to think the “bicycles yield to pedestrians” signs are merely for decoration. Just at Portland’s Waterfront Park alone most of the cyclists go way too fast, weaving in and around pedestrians even though there are signs in place requiring all cyclists to slow down. A sign was posted in a construction zone requiring all cyclists to “Walk Their Bikes” because the walkway had been narrowed due to the construction fence. I didn’t see a single cyclist walk their bike. They road through as if the walkway was at it’s original width. Also, I’ve noticed many cyclists like to run red lights and stop signs. A cyclist kicked my wife’s bumper at a 4-way stop because he felt the front of her car was penetrating his crossing lane. Turns out it was her turn to go anyway because he failed to stop (as the law requires) at his stop sign, first.
I believe this picture tells it like it is. They know the cycling laws that protect them! They may not care what the law requires of them but they certainly care what the law requires of YOU. Some of them would probably run you over if you happened to wander into their cycling lane. If not, they would at least brush your shoulder as they passed by to let you know they weren’t happy with you.
Just sayin’. =)

Canal de Castilla./ Castilla Channel.
Fotografía unida a esta fascinante canción, del grupo Fever Ray, el nuevo grupo de la cantante sueca, Karin Dreijer Andersson.
El Canal de Castilla constituye una de las obras de ingeniería civil más importante de las realizadas entre mediados del siglo XVIII y el primer tercio del XIX.
El principal objetivo de este Canal fue librar del aislamiento físico y económico a Castilla y León y comunicarlos con el océano a través de la navegación fluvial. Se crearon tres ramales para conectar Valladolid y Medina de Rioseco con Alar del Rey, el canal tiene una longitud de 207 kilómetros.

Je vous livre une deuxième version prise exactement une seconde plus tôt que la précédente, lors d'un des couchers de soleil les plus mémorables auquel j'ai eu la chance d'assister, au pied du phare des Baleines, à la pointe nord-ouest de l'île de Ré.
Laquelle préférez-vous ?
Il faut dire que les conditions étaient particulièrement difficiles : un vent terrible (pas question de faire une pose longue !), des embruns qui venaient constamment salir mes filtres et aussi quelques gouttes de pluie, mais quel spectacle !
Au premier plan une écluse à poissons (construction en pierres qui permet de capturer des poissons en les piégeant à la marée descendante et qui participe aussi à limiter l'érosion marine).
Au loin le phare des Baleineaux.
[ A sunset under the storm at the point west of île de Ré, captured one second before the last upload !
Île de Ré (in English Isle of Rhé) is an island off the west coast of France near La Rochelle. This island is completely flat, it is 30 km long and 5 km wide. A 2.9 km bridge, completed in 1988, connects it to La Rochelle on the mainland.
Which version do you prefer ?]

Seattle Sunrise - Kerry Park - Queen Anne District
Although this scene has been captured so many times, this is what I decided to shoot on the morning before flying back home after my recent trip. While this image may lack the pleasing and somewhat intense color and light I was able to capture in the previous city scene taken from Beacon Hill, I was content to have this clear view of the Space Needle, Downtown Seattle and of course Mt. Rainier. The resulting image is a four-shot stitched panorama.

If you follow my stream you probably know this scene (another day during dawn with some fog). I took this one on the evening before. Light was far from perfect as it was very hazy. Anyway... I didn't want to keep this one back.
Btw: This place is the "Podere Terrapille" where they shot some scenes for the "Gladiator" movie.

The Cíes Islands are an archipelago off the coast of Pontevedra in Galicia (Spain), in the mouth of the Ría de Vigo. They belong to the parish of San Francisco de Afora, in the municipality of Vigo. They were declared a Nature Reserve in 1980 and are included in the Atlantic Islands of Galicia National Park (Parque Nacional Marítimo-Terrestre das Illas Atlánticas de Galicia) created in 2002. In the year 2007, the British newspaper The Guardian chose the beach of Rodas, in the island of Monteagudo, as the "most beautiful beach of the world" (Wikipedia).

Las islas Cíes, pertenecientes al municipio de Vigo, forman un archipiélago situado en la boca de la ría del mismo nombre, en las Rías Bajas gallegas, en la Provincia de Pontevedra (España), formado por tres islas: Norte o Monteagudo, Del Medio o do Faro y Sur o San Martiño. Las dos primeras se encuentran unidas artificialmente por una escollera. Están orientadas según un sistema de fracturas paralelo a la costa en dirección N-S. Distan aproximadamente 14,5 km de la ciudad de Vigo. Fueron declaradas parque natural en 1980, y están incluidas en el Parque Nacional de las Islas Atlánticas de Galicia creado en 2002.
En febrero del año 2007 el periódico británico The Guardian eligió la playa de Rodas, en la isla de Monteagudo, como "la mejor playa del mundo" (Wikipedia).
