Amanecer de hoy mismo en el monte Cayón-Infiesto-Piloña. Fue un amanecer muy extraño ya que la niebla no dejaba salir el sol, pero al final aunque ya muy alto y con bastante fuerza (por eso el salir quemado) apareció y nos dejo esta para mi maravilla vista, aunque por momentos la niebla lo hacía desaparecer de nuevo. Creo realmente que mereció la pena el madrugón que nos metimos
Espero que sean de vuestro agrado

Description :
Oslo, Norway: The suspect in Norway's twin attacks that killed at least 92 people says he acted alone, police said Sunday, after some witness accounts said a second gunman had taken part in a mass shooting.
But police are still trying to establish whether there was "one or several" shooters at Friday's attack on a Labour Party youth meeting on Utoeya island, northwest of Oslo, police commissioner Sveinung Sponheim told journalists.
Norway suspect 'deemed killings necessary'
A suspected right-wing fanatic accused of killing at least 92 people deemed his acts "atrocious" yet "necessary" as Norway mourned victims of the nation's worst attacks since World War Two.
Police were hunting on Sunday to see if a possible second gunman took part in the shooting massacre and bomb attack on Friday that traumatised a normally peaceful Nordic country.
Anders Behring Breivik comments
In his first comment via a lawyer since he was arrested, 32-year-old Norwegian Anders Behring Breivik expressed willingness to explain himself in court at a hearing likely to be held on Monday about extending protective custody.
"He has said that he believed the actions were atrocious, but that in his head they were necessary," lawyer Geir Lippestad told independent TV2 news.
Police said Breivik gave himself up after admitting to a massacre in which at least 85 people died, mostly young people attending a summer camp of the youth wing of Norway's ruling Labour Party on an idyllic island.
Breivik was also arrested for the bombing of Oslo's government district that killed seven people hours earlier. Norway's toughest sentence is 21 years in jail. Survivors, relatives of those killed and supporters planned a procession to mourn the dead at Sundvollen on Sunday, near the island where the massacre took place.
Police defend delays
The comments from Breivik came as reports said police arrived at the island massacre about an hour and a half after he first opened fire, slowed because they didn't have quick access to a helicopter and then couldn't find a boat to make their way to the scene just several hundred yards offshore.
Survivors of the shooting spree have described hiding and fleeing into the water to escape the gunman, but a police briefing Saturday detailed for the first time how long the terror lasted - and how long victims waited for help.
Manifesto and video against multiculturalism
King Harald would attend a service in Oslo cathedral, a few hundred metres (yards) from where a bomb devastated government buildings including the offices of Labour Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg.
Breivik hated "cultural marxists", wanted a "crusade" against the spread of Islam and liked guns and weightlifting, web postings, acquaintances and officials said.
A video posted to the YouTube website showed several pictures of Breivik, including one of him in a Navy Seal type scuba diving outfit pointing an automatic weapon. "Before we can start our crusade we must do our duty by decimating cultural marxism," said a caption under the video called "Knights Templar 2083" on the YouTube website, which took down the video on Saturday.
A Norwegian website provided a link to a 1,500 page electronic manifesto which says Breivik was the author. It was not possible to verify who posted the video or wrote the book.
"Once you decide to strike, it is better to kill too many than not enough, or you risk reducing the desired ideological impact of the strike," the book said.
Norway has traditionally been open to immigration, which has been criticised by the Progress Party, of which Breivik was for a short time a member. The Labour Party, whose youth camp Breivik attacked, has long been in favour of immigration.
About 100 people stood solemnly early on Sunday at a makeshift vigil near Oslo's main church, laying flowers and lighting candles. Soldiers with guns and wearing bullet-proof vests blocked streets leading to the government district.
"We are all in sorrow, everybody is scared," said Imran Shah, a Norwegian taxi driver of Pakistani heritage, as a light summer drizzle fell on unusually empty Oslo streets.
Some terrified survivors of the shooting rampage said bullets came from at least two sides. "We are not at all certain" about whether he acted alone, police chief Sveinung Sponheim said. "That is one of the things that the investigation will concentrate on."
Witnesses
Witnesses said the gunman, wearing a police uniform, was able to shoot unchallenged for a prolonged period. He picked off his victims on Utoeya island northwest of Oslo forcing youngsters to scatter in panic or to jump into the lake to swim for the mainland.
"I heard screams. I heard people begging for their lives and I heard shots. He just blew them away," Labour Party youth member Erik Kursetgjerde, 18, told Reuters.
"I was certain I was going to die," he said. "People ran everywhere. They panicked and climbed into trees. People got trampled."
Home-grown militant
The suspect, tall and blond, owned an organic farming company called Breivik Geofarm, which a supply firm said he had used to buy fertiliser -- possibly to make the Oslo bomb.
Home-grown anti-government militants have struck elsewhere in the past, notably in the United States, where Timothy McVeigh killed 168 people with a truck bomb in Oklahoma City in 1995.
The district attacked is the heart of power in Norway. But security is not tight in a country unused to such violence and better known for awarding the Nobel Peace Prize and mediating in conflicts, including the Middle East and Sri Lanka.

Los jardines del Alcázar
-
The gardens are a fundamental part of the Alcazar. A walk in the gardens of the Alcazar is one of the most pleasant of Seville, which combine the Arab influences, Renaissance and modern. They are arranged in terraces, with green vegetation, lots of orange and palm trees, fountains, cool and calm for rest and relaxation away from the city.

Description;
The sky yesterday afternoon after 3 days cloudy and rainy weather at Dhaka BANGLADESH ,
The Nazca Lines are a series of ancient geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert in southern Peru. They were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. The high, arid plateau stretches more than 80 kilometers (50 mi) between the towns of Nazca and Palpa on the Pampas de Jumana about 400 km south of Lima. Although some local geoglyphs resemble Paracas motifs, scholars believe the Nazca Lines were created by the Nazca culture between 400 and 650 AD. The hundreds of individual figures range in complexity from simple lines to stylized hummingbirds, spiders, monkeys, fish, sharks, orcas, llamas, and lizards.
The lines are shallow designs made in the ground by removing the ubiquitous reddish pebbles and uncovering the whitish ground beneath. Hundreds are simple lines or geometric shapes; more than seventy are designs of animal, bird, fish, or human figures. The largest figures are over 200 meters (660 ft.) across. Scholars differ in interpreting the purpose of the designs, but in general they ascribe religious significance to them.
The geometric ones could indicate the flow of water or be connected to rituals to summon water. The spiders, birds, and plants could be fertility symbols. Other possible explanations include: irrigation schemes or giant astronomical calendars.
Due to the dry, windless, and stable climate of the plateau and its isolation, for the most part the lines have been preserved. Extremely rare changes in weather may temporarily alter the general designs.
Spray Falls is one of several waterfalls in Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. The 70' waterfall plunges over the cliffs at Pictured Rocks and lands in Lake Superior. It took my wife and I about three hours to hike to this lookout of the falls , we stopped a couple of times for a drink and to take other photos.

I purposely arrived about an hour early for a meet-up with Salem Digital Photo Group - www.salemphoto.org/. - I wanted to use this time to roam the streets of downtown Salem to see what I could find before the rest of the gang arrived at the Riverfront Park, where the meet-up would take place. www.cityofsalem.net/Residents/Parks/ParkTour/Pages/Riverf...

I love getting shots tight against bridges with a wide-angle lens. I love the lines that it gives. Although Battersea Power Station isn't as well-known as the Houses of Parliament or as architecturally beautiful as St Paul's Cathedral, it is still an iconic landmark in London (albeit South London...).
I was going through shots from my photowalk with Murphyz and I asked on Twitter which shot I should put up. Without hesitation, Vulture Labs said Battersea Power Station. "Can't get enough of that building".
This shot was taken at around 23:00 hours on a Sunday night and used my remote shutter release for longish exposure of a minute. I like how, despite the light pollution, you can still make out stars. It's surprising how much they travel in this short amount of time! One of my favourite things about this image are the reflections of the lights across the Thames.
This looks much cooler when viewed in the lightbox. (Press L) (You can see so much more detail).

This is a photo of a couple in the (supposed) rains. A welcome to the monsoon season :)
There is a story behind this image. I have been wanting to do a monsoon shot for a while now and I've been scratching my head as to how to go about it.
One of these days I had this idea about the splash, which of course is not an original one because there are plenty of such splash images all over.. but then the idea of the couple came to me during my brother's engagement ceremony and I wanted to combine all my different thoughts into one image.
What stopped me from doing this shot for the last few days was the umbrella. Initially I tried making the umbrella by myself but craft is not my forte :) so yesterday I went to a club, gulped down a couple of cocktails and got this umbrella back with me to be used for this image.
Well, I hope you guys like it, because I had to do a lot of antics for this one.
Thanks for your visit. Cheers..**hic**

I stumbled upon this old decrepit building that once must have been a rural supply store/garage for vehicles and machinery. It is located in the small town of Wellwood Manitoba, a town I had never been to until this past week. The image below shows the exterior, and with all the broken windows it was easy to poke my camera inside for a good look around.

Are you white? Are you Caucasian? Are you a god damn cracker? However you want to phrase it, I’m asking if are you of European dissent? I am. This fact alone gives me a huge advantage living in the country I live in. Which also happens to be arguably the most powerful country in the world at the moment. Both in terms of economics, political pull and military agendas.
Why do I bring this up? Well I have found that when I go into poor areas that are primary black, you know the city dwellings where are the white people ran away from years ago, the fight or flight activity in my brain goes wild. I automatically feel out of place and rather fearful. Do I want to feel this way? Of course not.
And yes let me just get this stupid spiel out of the way because you knew it was coming: I don’t consider myself to be “racist” or a bigot or any of those labels that we associate with someone who is a close minded ignorant asshole. I’m not going to tell you how many “black” friends I have because I’m not trying to prove something to you (can you get any more lame by the way? I just want to punch white people in the face when they say that trying to prove their un-racist worth). But here I am admitting that my brain tells me to get scared when I go in to what people commonly refer to as the “ghetto”.
But I’m here to also tell you that I have a happy little moral to this story. I have found that when I am actually able to push these negative thoughts to the side, I wind up much happier.
Case in point? This picture. When I see the people in these areas while I take these pictures (at night) without acting like a scared little white boy, they tend to warm up to me. The more I unquestionably treat everyone there with the kind of respect of a human being that I would expect to be treated, the more accepted I seem to be in return.
But most prominently, the less fearful I genuinely am, the less hostile they are to me. The key word here being “genuinely”. Because you can’t fake this shit. You have to actually mean it. This isn’t a fucking Hollywood movie, it’s the real deal. The opposite of love is fear, not hate. No truer words have ever been said.
And if you think about this whole concept, it makes perfect sense. Think about you pimp photo viewer whoever you are. Think about if someone came to you and was a scared little pussy coming with all kinds of preconceived notions of who you are and completely judging you right off the bat before they even spoke a word to you. Would you dislike them? Would you automatically want to fuck with them? Possibly to just get them the fuck out of your face? Who wants to be around someone like that anyhow? Not me.
The shot at hand? One of the most notoriously “bad” locations of the entire bay area, West Oakland. There were parties, music blaring, people hanging out, and there you had Mr. Photo Man taking pictures because I LOVED this street corner. Something about that old restored car under that street lamp with that mural made for an awesome shot. Fedora included.
