La Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias (en valenciano y oficialmente Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències) es un complejo arquitectónico, cultural y de entretenimiento de la ciudad de Valencia (España).
El complejo fue diseñado por Santiago Calatrava y Félix Candela, junto con los ingenieros autores del diseño estructural de las cubiertas del L'Oceanografic Alberto Domingo y Carlos Lázaro. Fue inaugurado el de junio de 1998 con la apertura de El Hemisférico. El último gran componente de la Ciudad es el Ágora, situado entre el puente de l'Assut de l'Or y l'Oceanogràfic
Feliz domingo a tod@s
Nesta fotografia fascinou-me a arquitectura urbanista desta zona do Porto, luz e cores componentes ideais para esta pintura fotográfica.
Dedico a grandes amigos que tive o prazer de conhecer e muito bem conhecidos , entre eles destaco o Mestre Jorge Viana Basto do Porto ( www.flickr.com/people/viana_basto/), Isabel Soeiro do Porto ( www.flickr.com/people/isabelsoeiro/) e Maria João ( www.flickr.com/photos/96799343@N04/)
Obrigado a todos

Neither the smallest nor the most inconsequential element to the image, this red boat had me following its path. Meandering about, a father and his two boys enjoy time out on Trout Lake. When they began to slowly travel toward the north end, I quickly beetled toward this sunken log.
Like arrows in my quiver, none of the previous shots of this scene, ever made it to post. However, this one combines the multiple components needed, so the log is a supporting element, framing the boater and anchoring the Fall colored trees.
Der Sekretär musste eine (kleine) Reparatur an seinem geschätzten alten Oszilloskop vornehmen. Und als er es schon offen auf dem Tisch hatte, konnte er nicht anders, als das Innenleben zu portraitieren.

Secretary had to make a (minor) repair to his valued old oscilloscope. And when he already had it open on the table, he couldn't help but portray the inside.

The Taj Mahl "crown of palaces",is a white marble mausoleum located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. It was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal is widely recognized as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage".
Taj Mahal is regarded by many as the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Persian and Indian architectural styles.
In 1983, the Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While the white domed marble mausoleum is the most familiar component of the Taj Mahal, it is actually an integrated complex of structures. The construction began around 1632 and was completed around 1653, employing thousands of artisans and craftsmen. The construction of the Taj Mahal was entrusted to a board of architects under imperial supervision, including Abd ul-Karim Ma'mur Khan, Makramat Khan, and Ustad Ahmad Lahauri. Lahauri is generally considered to be the principal designer.
Blower Bentley number 4 owned by billionaire Ralph Lauren, and an example of a philosophy that looked good on paper......take a proven 4 1/2 liter four cylinder (winning Le Mans in 1928) engine putting out 110 hp and strap on a supercharger and voila! 240 hp. This was done over WO Bentley's strong objections, who felt that messing with the finished engine in that way would add problems more than speed. He felt if you needed more HP, you added cylinders, thus the LeMans winning Bentley in '29 was a speed 6, and the winner in 1930 was a straight 8.......but, in the age of focus on long distance racing, testing the reliability of components, the more glamorous blower Bentleys NEVER won a race......though they remain far more desirable and expensive.

A few things that would go into a bowl of cold cereal for hot summer mornings, Craisins, Shredded Wheat, and Fiber One, (not shown optional) walnuts or almonds and honey, yeah and of course the milk too, to finish it out with.

In this shot of Copper Island, the cloud I saw from a distance plays a major part. As it was forming I raced to a familiar spot to catch it at just the right time. Copper Island is left as a silhouette, and makes the shot more about shapes than the nature it captures.
Here are another picture of the very nice cascades near Soubey (Jura, Switzerland). With all the snow melting above, in the Franches-Montagnes, it was a real flood.
As you can see on this shot, the framing is rather unperfect : the left side is kind of messy and blurry, there's this perspective in the upper right corner that could have been intensified. Moreover, it's not totally at horizon level : all I had to do was to go a little lower with the tripod rotate the camera. That was my first plan.
The problem was : I wore shitty shoes and I stood upon a slippery rock covered with moss. What had to happen happened : I slipped, the tripod slipped and my 100D fall directly in the water in a very nice "sloosh".
Fortunately, it remained in the water less than 5 seconds and the screen was still showing this picture when I removed the battery. It is now in a kilogramme of long grain USA parboiled rice, and will stay there until tomorrow evening. I hope it will manage to dry it completely. I have some hope to save it ...
However, saving the lens would probably be a miracle, but I try anyway with the same trick ... Now I just have to wait, pray and see ...
So I am happy to show you this very last shot of my (maybe) dead buddy. I hope I did not became a photographer without a camera ...

This picture was explored on the 2nd of March 2016 ! Thank you really much for your kind messages !
And now : the end of the story : I tried the camera this morning. The body seem to work perfectly fine. The lens AF and stabilizer work as well, but there's some dirt on the lenses inside, so I'll probably have to make it clean. Then, it's always possible to have some rust on electronic components. I'll see in the future.
So the rice trick works, but I definitely think that what saved my camera is the fact that I removed the battery very quickly. What you don't want is some short-circuits on electronic components that heat and burn after a few seconds (they are small, so it can happen really fast). Without electrical power, much less risk to get damages.
Thank you anyway for your support !

My 1st ever sighting and Picture
The common reed bunting (Emberiza schoeniclus) is a passerine bird in the bunting family Emberizidae, a group now separated by most modern authors from the finches, Fringillidae. The genus name Emberiza is from Old German Embritz, a bunting.
It breeds across Europe and much of the Palearctic. Most birds migrate south in winter, but those in the milder south and west of the range are resident. It is common in reedbeds and also breeds in drier open areas such as moorland and cultivation. For example, it is a component of the purple moor grass and rush pastures, a type of Biodiversity Action Plan habitat in the UK. It occurs on poorly drained neutral and acidic soils of the lowlands and upland fringe.
The common reed bunting is a medium-sized bird, 13.5–15.5 cm (5.3–6.1 in) long, with a small but sturdy seed-eater's bill. The male has a black head and throat, white neck collar and underparts, and a heavily streaked brown back. The female is much duller, with a streaked brown head, and is more streaked below. The song of the male is a repetitive srip.
Breeding normally starts in early April, finishing in late August depending on location and altitude. The species is monogamous. The nest is built using twigs, grass and reeds lined with finer materials such as hair, moss and rootlets in a bush or reed tussock. 4–5 olive-grey eggs are laid, which show the hair-like markings characteristic of those of buntings. The incubation period is 12-15 days where the chicks are fed by both parents.

Thank you for all your views, faves and comments.
This is an altered reality of Bridge Rising 1. Once more I used Photofox Surreal Skies component to create the image. The original was taken with my iPhone11. The bridge HAS been raised under unusual circumstances lately.

Another shot just after dawn from my shoot last sunday dawn. The light just after dawn gave rise to some lovely coloration of the the southern and western clouds opposite the sun. I was fortunate enough to find some interesting rocks in shape and colour to take them as foreground interest. Behind the rocks is the boat ramp down there which I intend on visiting for some more shots this weekend maybe.
The image is also an exposure blend of two exposures for sky and water with some photomatix components on the rocks.
Al final, asume lo plural y lo humano de estos tiempos:
Qué haremos las piezas
con nuestras manos malditas de pétalos:
Caminaremos hasta la entrega,
hasta no poder darse más sobre el cemento.
ENGLISH
At the end, let you accept the plural and the human of these days:
What will we, the components, do
With our damned hands of petals:
We will walk till the surrender,
Till not being able to give in more on the cement.
