I really love the sceneries of the New Year's Holidays.

I can see much traditions and the cultures.

I introduce some photos I took in the horidays.

I hurt my ankle and I can not walk, besides the way to the lagoon is closed and well here is the result

I totally remade a year old MOC but kept the insect aspects. I threw parts from a dragonfly, scorpion and mantis together.

Ochagavía es una villa y municipio español de la Comunidad Foral de Navarra, situado en la Merindad de Sangüesa, en el valle de Salazar, en la comarca de Roncal-Salazar y a 85 km de la capital de la comunidad, Pamplona.

Ochagavia tiene la fama de ser el pueblo más bonito de los Pirineos navarros, resultado de su larga historia y del especial cuidado que sus habitantes tienen por mantener su aspecto externo.

Una de las imágenes más bellas que te puedes llevar de un viaje a Navarra es llegar a Ochagavia al atardecer, cuando la luz del sol resalta las fachadas de las casas que se suceden a orillas del río Anduña.

Ochagavia lo encuentras al norte del Valle de Salazar, al noreste de los Pirineos navarros.

En la confluencia de los ríos Zatoia y Anduña, su fisonomía queda marcada al ser cruzado por este último y por los frondosos bosques de hayas y pinos silvestres que rodean al pueblo.

De hecho, Ochagavia se sitúa junto a los límites de la Selva de Irati, uno de los paisajes naturales más bonitos que puedes ver en Navarra y Europa.

"Aquí las calles no tienen nombre, así que podríamos decir que el pueblo lo forman cuatro barrios ,Iribarren, Urrutia, Irigoien y Labaria".

Paseando por sus calles empedradas podemos admirar sus casas tan típicas de la zona de Navarra. Estos caseríos se presentan con grandes portones con sus escudos, y sus balcones nos reciben con hermosas flores de colores. Además nos llama la atención los tejados muy empinados de teja plana a dos y cuatro aguas.

Todo esto hace de Ochagavía un lugar de especial encanto al visitante, que como nosotros se deja perder por estas callejuelas que nos cuentan historias de tiempos pasados. Otro de sus puntos fuertes es la gastronomía, donde podremos degustar platos típicos de la zona del Pirineo de Navarra. Toda una delicia para los sentidos.

 

Una de las cosas que más nos impactan al recorrer esta villa son sus puentes. Pero hay uno, el que encontramos nada más entrar en el pueblo, que nos hace viajar en el tiempo. Es el Puente de Piedra o Puente Medieval que cruza el río Anduña.

Cuando vemos el puente, parece que estamos en otro siglo. Detrás podemos ver sus típicas casas de este pueblo de Navarra, con sus típicos balcones llenos de flores. Reclamo del turismo en Navarra y en España

La joya del pueblo son las antiquísimas danzas de Ochagavía, en honor a la Virgen de Muskilda.

El paisaje de altas cumbres y profundos bosques ofrece un entorno inmejorable para practicar deporte. En invierno se puede esquiar en pleno corazón de Irati en las pistas de esquí de fondo de Abodi-Salazar. También puede realizar diversas rutas de senderismo y BTT por los bellos bosques de la zona.

 

Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.

 

This part of the paperbark wetland/forest/swamp is in the Bongaree wetlands on Bribie Island.

 

Melaleuca quinquenervia, commonly known as broad-leaved paperbark, the paper bark tea tree or niaouli, is a small- to medium-sized tree of the allspice family, Myrtaceae. The plant is native to New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea and coastal eastern Australia, from Botany Bay in New South Wales northwards, into Queensland and the Northern Territory. It has become naturalised in the Everglades in Florida, where it is considered a serious weed by the USDA. The broad-leaved paperbark grows as a spreading tree up to 20 m high, with the trunk covered by a white, beige and grey thick papery bark. The grey-green leaves are ovate and the cream or white bottlebrush-like flowers appear from late spring to autumn. (Source: Wikipedia)

Tarabilla europea

(Saxicola rubicola)

Pajarillo de aspecto rechoncho, con un diseño cromático muy llamativo en los machos. En España resulta una especie común, aunque no abundante,

ampliamente distribuida por la Península y Baleares. Se encuentra ligada a zonas abiertas, incluyendo diversas formaciones de matorral, bordes y

claros de bosque, cultivos y pastizales con arbustos dispersos.

 

Clasificación

Orden Passeriformes

Familia Turdidae

 

Longitud 13 cm

 

Envergadura 18-21 cm

 

Identificación

Túrdido de pequeño tamaño y aspecto regordete, con cabeza redondeada, alas y cola cortas y de color oscuro, y manchas blancas en la zona escapular, muy visibles en vuelo. Los machos lucen un diseño muy vistoso, en el que la cabeza negra contrasta con el pecho anaranjado, y el obispillo blanquecino confronta con la cola oscura en los adultos. Las hembras y los jóvenes muestran un diseño similar al macho, aunque son más pardos. Esta ave gusta de posarse en lugares prominentes y tiene un vuelo rápido y directo, con fuerte batido de alas.

 

Canto

Breve, agudo y repetitivo, se compone de un trino corto y chirriante. Su reclamo resulta característico y consiste en un chasquido corto, repetido insistentemente: chac-chac.

Excerpt from DK Eyewitness Travel Guide:

 

The Witches’ Tower, so named because of its conical roof, is the only remaining part of Sion’s medieval fortifications. Located just north of the old town, the tower once defended the town’s northwestern aspect.

Wufu is a reference to the five blessings (health, wealth, love of virtue, longevity, and natural death). The word for good luck and the word for bat are homophonics, "fu". Therefore, the bat has become associated with many positive aspects of Chinese culture. Five bats are often portrayed, representing the five blessings, in a circle around the character for longevity. Here they are on an early bronze teapot, which is barely over three inches in height.

I know the male of the species is the primary objective for photographers, but the female is especially, if subtly, beautiful. There are two aspects of the female’s plumage that are distinctive and really lovely: the two black lines descending from the bottom of its bill, which frame a soft white patch; and the yellow back collar.

 

The Evening Grosbeak’s bill is really different, changing colour seasonally. It lightens in the fall-to-winter period, and then becomes greener toward spring. It never really loses the greenish tint, which I think is among its most distinctive features.

 

As the bird’s French name indicates, the Evening Grosbeak does not follow a true migratory path from year to year, but ‘wanders’ to find available cone crops. It was originally found in the foothills of the Rockies, and has since spread east and south. Scientists have used modern tracking techniques to get a clearer sense of their travels, but ‘wandering’ remains an accurate description in times of climate change.

 

That wandering has of necessity intensified, as its other main food source, spruce budworm larvae, has been targeted by pesticide spraying programs that have all but eradicated the pest.

 

The arrival of a flock of Evening Grosbeaks is always a test of one’s reflexes, as they squabble over perches and push for food. This bird touched down very briefly, low and close, and I was as ready as I can be. The background is cluttered by the weedy shrubs and young trees that are another visit’s perches, so I never mind them.

The Chisholm Trail, including Chisholm Trail Brazos in Waco, is a pivotal aspect of Texas history. It was a major cattle trail in the late 19th century, used to drive cattle from Texas to Kansas for shipment to eastern markets. The trail was named after Jesse Chisholm, a trader of Scotch-Cherokee descent who pioneered the route in 1867. The trail was not a single road, but rather a network of trails that stretched from Texas to Kansas. As a vital stop along the Chisholm Trail, Waco, Texas has a rich history that is still celebrated today. The Chisholm Trail Brazos Landmark, located on the riverbanks of the Brazos River, is a testament to the important role the trail played in the development of Texas. The Waco Suspension Bridge also played a significant role in the history of Waco and the Chisholm Trail. The bridge was completed in 1870 and was the first permanent bridge across the Brazos River. It quickly became a vital transportation link for the cattle drives and other travelers passing through the area. The bridge is still standing today (as a pedestrian and bicycle bridge) and is a popular attraction for visitors to Waco.

 

The Chisholm Trail Brazos Landmark has been recognized by both the local community and the National Park Service. In 2017, the Texas Historical Commission designated the landmark as a State Antiquities Landmark. The National Register of Historic Places and National Historic Landmark both recognize and list the landmark. In conclusion, people celebrate the Chisholm Trail Brazos Landmark as an essential part of Texas history today. The landmark echoes Waco’s role in countless cattle drives on the Chisholm Trail, shaping Texas’ development.

 

The sculpture seen above is part of Robert Summers's larger, overall sculpture, "The Waco Chisholm Trail Heritage", near the historic Waco Suspension Bridge and includes three cowboys on horseback - one white, one Hispanic and one Black - and 25 longhorn cattle. All of the full sculpture cannot be photographed in one shot because of its size and how it is stretched out over a city block or more. The full sculpture depicts several cowboys and a Mexican vaquero driving longhorn cattle. Cattle were in fact driven across the suspension bridge in its early days, when it was covered with dirt. This particular section of the sculpture is specifically of a Vaquero (a herdsman or cowboy; or a term used in reference to cowboys in areas such as Mexico and the southwestern U.S. where Spanish is spoken) and several Longhorn Cattle. The first pieces were unveiled by Mr. Summers near the base of the Waco Suspension Bridge in 2008, and the total sculpture wasn’t completed until 2014. In total, the sculptures cost about $1.65 million and remain as a popular tourist spot.

 

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

Another in my 'photorealist painter's' collection, the blue-hued building dominating the frame is the famous 11 Diagonal Street building, designed by Helmut Jahn. It served for a long while as the Headquarters of the Anglo-American Corporation and the De Beers Diamond corporation. Thus its 'diamond' shape. Taken from the M1 Freeway.

Went to photo18 on two days and participated in five seminar sessions, ranging from sessions focused on the technical "how-to" to one by a photographer who in my view really had something unique to offer and whom I hope to learn more from in the future.

 

One of the sessions (by another photographer) left me outright frustrated but afterwards I thought I should not only have looked at the (appealing) photo used to advertise it, but should have read the description more carefully and realized that something with the word "rules" in it really is not my thing. Know thyself...

 

So here's a late new year's resolution photo: being still more often, taking time more often, going with my intuitive flow more often, always staying true to what I want my photos to communicate.

I LOVE THE SEA!!!

Under ALL circumstances, whether wild or calm...

What might here, SPECTACULAR, thunderingly beautiful and somehow frightening! I grew up by and with the sea and NEVER underestimate it!

This here is still the Atlantic Ocean.

"Cape of Good Hope" named thus because of the great optimism engendered by the opening of a sea route to India and the East.

I wish you all a very good day and thank you for all your kind words, time, comments and likes.

Very much appreciated. Magda, (*_*)

Head brewer Urbain pouring his famous Struise Dirty Horse from the decanter for us to sample. Dirty Horse is a sour ale that is part traditional lambic (70% barley, 30% wheat) and part Flanders Red (Rodenbach yeast used). The result is an amazingy rich, sour, acidic lambic-flemish red hybrid that remains one of the best beers I've ever tried. Struise is considered by many to be one of the best breweries in the world (named Best Brewer in the World by RateBeer.com in 2008), and Urbain is a true artist in all aspects of the word. A very true and real artisan brewer in a world gone commercial.

I wanted more vaper from this vaperist but no luck.

Snowflake’s older-looking sentinel, with faded Federal Grain signage on it, was built in 1958 but used wood reclaimed from an elevator in nearby Fallison in its construction, giving it a rich patina that attracts photographers, painters and romantics who yearn for the golden age of Prairie agriculture.

 

Sadly, it's days are numbered and it's only a matter of time before it eventually disappears from the prairie landscape, either by the elements and Mother Nature or it's owner.

 

Here are two interesting reads about the history of Snowflake, MB...

Portrait of a Prairie Grain Elevator

This too was a pattern, though I saw it repeated more often with bicycles than skateboards.

 

But regardless of the mode of transportation, there are so many things in this picture that are "wrong" in the sense of looking like a form of death-wish. Note that the kid is skateboarding down the middle of the street, where he could be easily hit by a car. He is listening to his smartphone while wearing earphones, so he can't hear anything around him. He is smoking, which is deadly in and of itself. He's not wearing cushions or pads on his knees or elbows, which means that any fall will cause significant injuries.

 

And while he appears to be motionless momentarily, I can tell you that he waited only long enough for the two black SUVs to zoom past (as they had every right to do, since they had the traffic light in their favor) before he raced across the intersection -- against the traffic light.

 

Note: I chose this as my "photo of the day" for Oct 24, 2015.

  

**********************

 

As I’ve mentioned in a couple of recent Tumblr blog postings, I’m working on an exercise for a new class that I’ve started taking at the International Center of Photography (ICP) in the fall of 2015.( You can see the earlier Tumblr postings here and here.)

 

In addition to taking a bunch of photos (see the other Tumblr postings for details and descriptions of what the photos are supposed to illustrate), we also have the task of editing our images down to a maximum of 10 “presentation images” that we will share with the ICP class next week. When our instructor, Joanne Dugan, asked me last week if I anticipated having any problems with this aspect of the assignment, I shrugged and said, “No, I do this all the time …”

 

Well, yes and no: I do do a lot of editing/winnowing of my photos before deciding which ones should be shared with anyone else. But I had forgotten that I also do a lot of cropping, color-adjustment, tweaking, and general post-processing before I upload my photos to Flickr, Facebook, or even Instagram. For this particular ICP exercise, we were also told not to crop the photos, and not to do any post-processing. That makes things a lot more difficult …

 

On the other hand, part of the exercise is to assemble and share a maximum of ten photos that collectively tell a “story” of some kind – and to “tell” that story with anywhere from a word, to a sentence, to a paragraph for each of the photos. That makes things a lot easier … after all, if a photo has to be presented in isolation, then it truly stands alone. And it is intended to be viewed without any accompanying text, then it really stands alone. There’s nothing wrong with that; indeed, one might argue that that’s the whole point of photography: a picture should “tell” a story all by itself, without any extraneous verbiage to “explain” what might not be obvious to the viewer.

 

But not very many things exist in complete isolation of the rest of the universe, especially in today’s interconnected world. I suppose some people would debate that point quite vigorously; and some people might argue that a photograph of a person, place, or thing should be able to “stand alone” without anything else. I certainly have seen photos that fall into this category, and I suppose I’ve taken a few like that, too. Or, maybe if I never intended my photos to be considered in complete isolation from one another, perhaps that’s how some people prefer to look at them …

 

But for me, that’s a pretty rare phenomenon. Almost always, I find myself telling a story. The photographs obviously present one “dimension” of the story, in a visual form; and I’ve been trying to remind myself lately that videos can present can present one, and sometimes two, additional dimensions (motion and sound) that can add enormously to the viewer’s understanding and appreciation of the underlying story.

 

But even if one uses only traditional photos, I find that it’s almost impossible for me to crate (or make, or take) one photo by itself; invariably, I take dozens, if not hundreds or even thousands, which collectively tell a story. It may be a story about someplace I’ve been, or some event in which I’ve participated, or some individual (or group of individuals) that I want the viewer to know and appreciate in more detail than would be possible to communicate in a single photo.

 

And then there are the words … maybe it’s because I spend part of my time as a writer and teacher that I find it almost impossible not to augment my photos with words. Lots of words. Indeed, sometimes far too many words; and sometimes clumsy words, or the wrong words. And I do realize that there are times when the situation would be improved if I would just shut up, and let the photograph do all of the communication. But for better or worse, I guess I’m a photojournalist.

 

With that in mind, I began the process of editing the photos for my recent ICP assignment. Here’s what I found:

 

1. It’s not as easy as one might think, when you start with a large number. I began winnowing the original images when I had 2,700 (after 9 days of shooting), and I still had 5 days of shooting left).

 

2. It’s much more difficult than I had imagined, given the constraints of my ICP class: no cropping, no post-processing, and a maximum of only 10 images. I’ve worked within those constraints for the final images that I’m submitting to the ICP class; but for these Flickr uploads, I’ve ended up with 40-45 images – and they have been heavily cropped, tilted, color-corrected, noise-dusted, and tweaked in various other ways. C’est la vie…

 

3. Using the collection of photos to “tell a story” is both easier and harder than I thought it would be. I’m including these background notes in all of the photos that get uploaded to Flickr … because I’ve learned (form past experience) that some visitor will zoom in on just one particular photo, without necessarily looking at all of them, and/or without seeing the overall notes for the entire album. And I don’t think I’ll find it difficult to write a few sentences to provide the background details for each photo … but whether they “flow” and create one overall, coherent “story” remains to be seen.

 

4. Aside from a narrative “story,” there are some “themes” that I noticed throughout this entire two-week exercise. The most significant one was exactly what I had anticipated: patterns. If you are lucky enough to sit in the same spot at the same time, day after day, you see the same rhythms, the same people, the same repetitions of life’s little actions and emotions. Many people have the opportunity to see these patterns, because they do follow the same schedule, day after day, on their way to their job or their school. But some of us have irregular routines, and any, most of us don’t pay any attention. If you slow down, and pay attention, you’ll see the patterns.

 

But sometimes the pattern involves uniqueness – i.e. strange and unusual people or events that seem to happen only once. But I have to keep reminding myself that my visits have lasted only two weeks; if I was here for a month, or a full season, or perhaps an entire year – then perhaps I would see these strange incidents repeating themselves

 

5. Another theme – which I did not anticipate, but was delighted to see – was the pervasive sense of affection and caring between and among everyone on the street. Mostly it was apparent in the interactions between parents and children; but sometimes it was between dog-owners and the dogs they were walking; sometimes it was between friends who happened to be walking along together; and sometimes it was between complete strangers and me, as the strangers would smile and nod and say “hello” if they noticed I was watching them. It was a great experience.

The Iowa Northern and Canadian National operated a joint special across the majority of the railroad over 2 days. Many high-end officials sat down and talked about the many aspects of the upcoming sale between the 2 railroads. The special ran from Cedar Rapids to Cedar Falls via Oelwein on the 1st day. The 2nd day featured the run from Cedar Falls to Manly.

 

Day 2 wasn't as good for light as the 1st day, but the prime shot was here at Rockford. The officials get a slow good look at the bridge over the Shell Rock River. The train has roughly 25 miles to go before Manly, where the tour will be done.

Emil Filla (1882–1953) was a Czech painter whose works melded aspects of Cubism and Fauvism in his still lifes, landscapes, and figurative works.

I liked the patchwork aspect of the prompt, so I used up some of my gazillion 6x6 papers & spent the afternoon using the hexagon punch in my CKC kit to make Grandmother's Flower Garden "blocks".We scored this mint pony for $5 and it holds center stage for our grandson :~) It's just like the one my brother & I had when we were little.

Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
