I keep being inesorably attracted by this kind of landscape views, just close to my home environment.
The edges. The light and the darkness.
The frozen land and the warm embrace of the first light.
The flat ground and the steep hills.
It's only one moment: everything just happens and lines up perfectly.
Sometimes I just feel that it was written. And I was so lucky to be at the right time in the right place, with the right mood. But when every thing lines up just perfectly, I realize that it can't be no more a matter of Chance. It's a matter of will. And the strive for the need of romance.

Gli allineamenti perfetti
Continuo a sentirmi inesorabilmente attratto da questo tipo di immagini, più o meno tipiche della mia terra. I confini. La luce, il buio.
Il terreno congelato e il caldo abbraccio della prima luce.
L'orizzonte piatto e le colline ripide.
E' solo un momento: ogni cosa accade e si allinea perfettamente.
Qualche volta mi sembra quasi che sia stato già scritto. E che sono stato solo fortunato nel trovarmi al posto giusto, al momento giusto, con il giusto animo. Ma quando ogni cosa risulta perfettamente allineata, mi accorgo che non è sempre frutto del caso. E' un atto cosciente. E lo sforzo per la ricerca di un po' di poesia.
Da ascoltare: Norah Jones, Sunrise

A collision of elements: the solidity of the ancient landscape and the absolute fluidity of a fleeting moment. The landscape acts here not just as a backdrop, but as a silent spectator to the continuous flow of time.
A rare daylight NYS&W HAN-1 heads west through Franklin Lakes, NJ. The "missing link" of I-287 between Montville, NJ and Suffern, NY was still under construction in this March 1993 view. The Susquehanna main had recently been relocated to the alignment seen here due to this construction project. The original alignment roughly paralleled the far side of I-287 where the distant buildings are located and would have crossed I-287 near the head end of HAN-1. This view is not possible today due to tree growth along the right of way.

- I originally was not going to post this image, as I was not happy with the alignment with the pier support struts; I was somewhat hampered by the large rock which was where I wanted to be, and did not fancy getting my feet wet. However I thought it would be interesting to show this perspective.
Just round the corner from Weston-Super-Mare's Grand Pier is the now derelict Birnbeck Pier. The grade II* listed pier was designed by Eugenius Birch and opened in 1867. The main pier was originally 1,150 feet (351m) long, and it is 20 feet (6m) wide with a cantilever construction.However the low water jetty was damaged in a storm in 1903, rebuilt in 1909 and finally dismantled in 1923 such that the pier is now 1,040 feet (317m) long
The pier has been closed to the public since 1994 and is now on the Buildings at Risk Register.

It's not often that I manage to capture an image that exceeds my expectations.
I noticed this alignment of pine trees a couple of months ago, and wondered how it might look with the sun setting perfectly within the gap.
There are only a few days in any year where it would be possible to capture a photo exactly like this. Would the weather play along with my plans?
I've been returning to this exact spot most evenings this past week... hoping to capture my pre-visualised shot. Every previous attempt was a failure, with the sun disappearing behind the clouds before it appeared in my frame.
But then yesterday evening I got everything that I was hoping for... and more. I'm stoked! :)

The stars burn above this puddle of the Cottonwood Lakes to the great amusement of the cheering frogs. Three images stacked manually in photoshop.
Venus, Mars and Jupiter glow brightly in the early morning sky, while the moon plays hide and seek with the clouds just to the right of the Mittens, Monument Valley.
Hope your week goes well. Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- they mean a lot to me.

M357 works up the 2% grade of Steelton Hill on the new double track alignment. At the bottom of the photo is the old single track route that curved much more than the new line.
Carnac stones are an exceptionally dense collection of megalithic sites around the village of Carnac, in Brittany, consisting of alignments, dolmens, tumuli and single menhirs. More than 3,000 prehistoric standing stones were hewn from local rock and erected by the pre/proto-Celtic people of Brittany, and are the largest such collection in the world. Most of the stones are within the Breton village of Carnac, but some to the east are within La Trinité-sur-Mer. The stones were erected at some stage during the Neolithic period, probably around 3300 BC, but some may date to as old as 4500 BC.

As 2011 winds down, I want to thank all of you who have supported me and my photography. I couldn't have done it without you!
This year saw fellow photographer Joshua Cripps and I teach many full workshops to groups of great and enthusiastic photographers. What a blast! Another sold out workshop this past Saturday was our last outing of the year, but hopefully soon, we will have some new dates and new locations for 2012.

Name: Dexter
Species: Fe-Matoran
Occupation: Technician/Supporter of Toa Fieldus
Titles: Proto-Warrior, Dex, Rando
Alignment: Good
Personality: He is stubborn and tries his best, but is naïve and ignorant to some of the Toa’s situations in life
Element: Iron
Side Powers: Manipulation of other metals
Kanohi: None
Weapons: Twin Dagger Blasters, Cyber Sword/Shield, Shotgun, Assault Rifle, Extendable Limbs, Super Strength, Intelligence
Backstory: When Dexter was young, he always admired the Toa, and always wanted to be just like them. They were courageous, cunning, powerful, and heroic. Dexter wanted a life like that, where he could save people and live a life of nobility. He worked on this and created the Proto-Suit MK I. With this suit, he helped the Toa on many adventures, and even became somewhat of a member of the team, unofficially of course. After many years of grueling fighting and work, his MK I suit was almost no functioning and did not have much life left to give. He took this opportunity to build his grand creation, the Proto-Suit MK II, dubbed “Rando”, after the Ex-Toa of Artillery. This new suit has been a very great ally in the Toa’s forces, and has helped win countless battles, and hopefully will soon lead to the victory for the Toa team.
