Considero valore ogni forma di vita, la neve, la fragola, la mosca.
Considero valore il regno minerale, l'assemblea delle stelle.
Considero valore il vino finché dura il pasto, un sorriso involontario,
la stanchezza di chi non si è risparmiato, due vecchi che si amano.
Considero valore quello che domani non varrà più niente e quello
che oggi vale ancora poco.
Considero valore tutte le ferite.
Considero valore risparmiare acqua, riparare un paio di scarpe,
tacere in tempo, accorrere a un grido, chiedere permesso prima di sedersi,
provare gratitudine senza ricordare di che.
Considero valore sapere in una stanza dov'è il nord,
qual è il nome del vento che sta asciugando il bucato.
Considero valore il viaggio del vagabondo, la clausura della monaca,
la pazienza del condannato, qualunque colpa sia.
Considero valore l'uso del verbo amare e l'ipotesi che esista un creatore.
Molti di questi valori non ho conosciuto.

Litchi chinensis - Família Sapindaceae.
Originária da China onde é considerada a fruta nacional, a lichieira e uma árvore subtropical com até 12 metros de altura e de grande longevidade. Em muitos países e considerada a rainha das frutas. Perfeitamente adaptada as condições de clima do Estado de São Paulo, as Culturas pioneiras estão produzindo excelentes safras, com resultados econômicos compensadores. A colheita ocorre de novembro e janeiro, atendendo o mercado na época das festas natalinas, quando a procura e o preço são maiores. O Brasil em futuro próximo poderá dominar o mercado mundial, porque a produção das outras regiões produtoras ocorre de maio a agosto. Assim, sem concorrência, o Brasil poderá abastecer o mercado mundial com lichias na época do natal.
Devido ao seu belo porte, atraente formato, folhas verde escuro e permanentes e principalmente devido a beleza da frutificação a lichieira é a árvore favorita para os jardins de residência no Hawaii, e em cidades da Califórnia como San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Monterey, Alhambra, etc.
Os frutos produzem em cachos, a casca é rugosa e de cor vermelha e fácil de ser destacada. A polpa é gelatinosa, translúcida sucosa e de excelente sabor, lembrando ao de uva itália e não é aderente ao caroço. Se presta para consumo ao natural, para a fabricação de sucos, compostas e ainda para a passa...!!!

“Ría del Eo” o “Ría de Ribadeo” (Asturias y Galicia) desde Castropol.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
La ría de Ribadeo es una pequeña ría del norte de España que se encuentra en la costa cantábrica, en el límite entre Galicia y el Principado de Asturias. Se forma en la desembocadura del río Eo, y tiene 10 km de longitud y una anchura prácticamente constante de 800 m. La ría se estrecha hasta los 600 m cerca de la boca, punto que se aprovechó para construir un puente que la salva. Más afuera se ensancha hasta los 1200 m en la ensenada de Arnao. En la margen asturiana tiene un entrante de 1 km: la ensenada de la Linera.
Además del Eo también desembocan en la ría el río Suarón, en el mismo punto que el Eo; el río Grande, en la margen gallega, y el arroyo del Esquilo, en la asturiana, en la ensenada de la Linera, en el lugar de Berbesa.
La parte asturiana está considerada como reserva natural y está recogida en la Red Regional de Espacios Naturales Protegidos de Asturias (RRENP), aunque todavía no está oficialmente declarada como tal.

La Puerta Norte (a Porta Norte -port.) del recinto amurallado de origen romano de Idanha-a-Velha (Idanha la Vieja - cast.), una aldea histórica y freguesia del concelho de Idanha-a-Nova, situada en el Distrito de Castelo Branco, Región del Centro, subregión de la Beira Interior Sur, antigua provincia de la Beira Baixa, Portugal.
En el recinto fortificado de Idanha-a-Velha queda un tramo de 745 m de la muralla romana fechada de los siglos II-III-IV. Posteriormente esta muralla fue remodelada por los musulmanos en el siglo IX y reforzada por los templarios a finales del siglo XIII-principios del siglo XIV cuando Idanha-a-Velha formaba parte de las posesiones de la Orden del Temple.
LA LEYENDA SOBRE EL RELOJ SOLAR DEL ROMANO:
Idanha-a-Velha es una de las poblaciones más antiguas de Portugal y de toda la Península Ibérica, pero el primer documento que la menciona es una lápida con la inscrpción del año 16 A.C., cuando esta localidad era una ciudad romana llamada Civitas Igaeditanorum.
Este documento pétreo fue descubierto en 1905 entre las piedras del muro medieval construido por los templarios. En la lápida está escrito que un tal Q.Lallius mandó construir por su cuenta un reloj (ORARIUM) y lo donó a los IGAIDITANIS (habitantes de la ciudad Igaeditanorum). Desde aquel momento los expertos intentan averiguar quién fue este enigmático Q.Lallius, por qué él decidió hacer este regalo a los vecinos de esta ciudad y conmemorar este hecho, así como, si se trataba de un reloj de agua (clepsidra) o un reloj solar...
Pero la única respuesta por el momento ha aparecido sólo en la leyenda que ha interpretado aquella historia de modo propio:
Esta historia que tuvo lugar en la época de las invasión romana cuenta cuán complicado puede ser el contacto con las personas de otras culturas. Al principio los lusitanos que vivían en estas tierras resistían a la imposición de las costumbres romanas. Pero cuando las barreras culturales fueron superadas, se aclaró que en el conocimiento de las tradiciones ajenas había sus ventajas y beneficios…
Un día a Civitas Igaeditanorum llegó Quintus Lallius, constructor romano de estradas y puentes, hombre hábil, inteligente, ingenioso y competente en la organización de su trabajo. El maestro fue enviado a Civitas Igaeditanorum para construir un puente y una muralla. Inicialmente su misión se realizaba muy bien, pues los vecinos IGAIDITANIS eran amables, simpáticos y dispuestos a colaborar. Pero pronto empezaron los problemas.
Quintus Lallius estaba habituado a un determinado ritmo de vida, cumplía lo que acordaba y no tenía paciencia para las demoras inútiles. Mientras tanto los IGADITANIS vivían despreocupadamente y cuando prometían entregar las piedras necesarias para la construcción por la mañana, a lo mejor aparecían por la tarde o al día siguiente. Y había una impresión de que a ellos no les importaban en absoluto aquellos atrasos, pues ellos siempre estaban sonrientes y tranquilos como si no pasase nada desagradable o inconveniente.
Los IGADITANIS consideraban que se podía perder a un cabrito, una oveja o una gallina, mas el tiempo no se perdía, porque aquel hecho no era visible y palpable - y además, después de un momento temporal venía otro tiempo…
Entonces, casi desesperado, Quintus Lallius entregó a los vecinos de la ciudad los gallos y les convenció que se despertasen al oír por la mañana el canto de gallo. Durante unos días parecía que aquella sugerencia llevó a los resultados positivos. Pero al cabo de poco tiempo volvió el desorden anterior: los vecinos ya acostumbrados al canto de gallo simplemente se olvidaban de sus promesas o preferían dedicar esta hora al desayuno, o encontraban otras cosas que hacer…
Pobre Quintus Lallius, que estaba tan orgulloso de su sabiduría, no encontraba solución para este problema. Entonces vino de Roma su esposa y al ver la desesperación de su marido le aconsejó que él regalase a los trabajadores un reloj de sol, pues tal vez así ellos se acostumbrasen a respetar el tiempo. Quintus Lallius se apresuró a mandar que se tallase un reloj de sol y los vecinos del pueblo, sorprendidos y atraídos por aquel objeto tan curioso, poco a poco se habituaron a distinguir las horas y cumplir con el horario. El maestro, muy contento, para conmemorar aquel éxito ordenó grabar en una piedra el texto siguiente:
"Quintus Lallius, ciudadano de Merida Augusta, dió de buena voluntad un reloj de sol a los IGADITANIS"...
La lápida con la inscripción conmemorativa en latín, así como el puente y unos tramos amurallados costruídos por Quintus Lallius resistieron al tiempo y todavía pueden ser admirados en Civitas Igaeditanorum que cambió de nombre y ahora se llama Idanha-a-Velha...

Ramona Falls.
I love the details of Ramona Falls more so than the scene as a whole. This photo was made yesterday during the mid day light. There were bright spots with direct sunlight on them, shady areas as well as a cool little rainbow across the botttom of the scene. In all I would consider the time spent there yesterday as magical.
I try not to let my familiarity of this location hinder the fascination that I felt on my first visit there. I feel that I could visit Ramona Falls a thousand times and still see it differently each time.
The hike in to the falls was complete by sharing the spot with three that had yet to visit there. Jamey Pyles his girlfriend Hanna and his buddy Gabe made the trek in with me yesterday. We had a great day. :)
Had planned to do a series of sets concerning the concept of Senses.. the first being Smell.. inspired by an extraordinary movie called Perfect Sense. Anyway, sharing the shots I did take even if the set I consider the attempt a failure. ; ) Thanks for viewing
(...) Considere la cantidad de pura superstición que contribuye a la formación del hombre convencionalmente virtuoso y piense que, mientras de niños se nos trataba de proteger contra toda clase de peligros imaginarios a base de prohibiciones estúpidas, prácticamente ni se mencionaban los verdaderos peligros morales a los que se expone un adulto: las triquiñuelas en los negocios no penadas por la ley, la dureza en el trato a los empleados, la crueldad con la esposa e hijos, la malevolencia hacia los competidores (...) éstos son los pecados verdaderamente dañinos entre los ciudadanos respetables y respetados.
A través de ellos, el hombre siembra miseria en su entorno inmediato y pone su parte en la destrucción de la civilización.
Pero, ¿por qué su moralidad subconsciente está tan desligada de la razón? Porque la ética en la que creían los que le guiaron en su infancia era una tontería; no estaba basada en un estudio de los deberes del individuo para su comunidad; porque estaba compuesta por viejos resíduos de tabúes irracionales dictados por sacerdotes y parientes mentalmente esclavizados (...) va siendo hora de que quien va a participar de la vida normal del mundo aprenda a rebelarse contra esa idiotez enfermiza.

I don’t consider those shots as my top ones, it’s more like a good souvenir I wanted to share. Every night around 8pm there was a light show in the supertrees, Gardens By The Bay. It was very hard to grab descent shots. I tried long exposure, HDR, high ISO, …, a dark background and bright shifting lights made it quiet difficult. I have seen better shots on the net. It was easier during the blue hour, but the lights were less impressive. Anyway, I hope you enjoy them.

Having artificially darkened the sky of this panoramic shot of Happisburgh Lighthouse I did consider adding a light but with a lot of these things, it's knowing when to stop.......
Click here to see more photos from my trip to Norfolk : www.flickr.com/photos/darrellg/albums/72157668564966360
From Wikipedia : "Happisburgh Lighthouse in Happisburgh on the North Norfolk coast is the only independently operated lighthouse in Great Britain. It is also the oldest working lighthouse in East Anglia......
In 1987 Happisburgh was one of five lighthouses declared redundant by Trinity House and deactivation was planned for June 1988. Villagers organised a petition to oppose the closure, and as a result the date was postponed.
Under the Merchant Shipping Act of 1894, Trinity House may dispose of a working lighthouse only to an established Lighthouse Authority. On 25 April 1990 the Happisburgh Lighthouse Act received the Royal Assent establishing the Happisburgh Lighthouse Trust as a Local Light Authority, and Happisburgh became the only independently run operational lighthouse in Great Britain."

One of the most beautiful and least visited parts of Dinosaur National Monument, Echo Park is a accessible by the 12 mile dirt road winding its way through the frame or by boat/raft on either the Green River or Yampa River which merge at Echo Park. The NPS considers this a "primitive area." There are no dinosaur artifacts or fossils in this part of the DNM. Moffat County, Colorado.
Consider the lilies of the field...soft lavender pink ones in my senior apartment's garden area. I did not grow these but my camera and lens like to show them off.
ok, so i guess "feed me seymour" is a better title, huh?

Mrs. Ford's love of gardening and horticulture was said to be second only to her devotion to her husband and family. Her tastes in gardening were simple, at least as far as design and color were concerned. She preferred old-fashioned plant varieties such as Bachelor Buttons, Petunias, Irises, Peonies, Tulips, Lillies, Heliotropes, Delphiniums, Forget-Me-Nots, English Primrose, Scilla and, of course, Roses planted in relatively informal patterns. Indoors, her fondness for gardening was expressed by a variety of small cut flowers in small glass vases that were displayed in each room. In addition, there were assortments of foliage plants, especially located in the Swimming Pool area.
Clara Ford spent many hours planning, touring, and pampering her treasured Blue, English, and Rose Gardens, always on the lookout for imperfections such as a misplaced marigold among a sea of aqua and sky-blue blossoms. Her efforts were recognized publicly when she served as a president of the Women's National Farm and Garden Association from 1927-34.
It has been a number of years since the majority of Fair Lane's elaborate gardens have been planted and pampered the way they must have been when Mrs. and Mr. Ford were in residence. Consider, if you will, that Mrs. Ford routinely employed 25 fulltime gardeners in 1926. However, while these gardeners helped to cultivate estate grounds, there were only five servants that maintained the entire residence.
It would be almost impossible for the Henry Ford Estate-Fair Lane, as a non-profit organization, to restore each garden area fully. However, restoration of certain areas to their early 1920's state is now proceeding. The garden scheme being implemented reflects the original plan of Jens Jensen.
"I consider lace to be one of the prettiest imitations ever made of the fantasy of nature; lace always evokes for me those incomparable designs which the branches and leaves of trees embroider across the sky, and I do not think that any invention of the human spirit could have a more graceful or precise origin."

El crisantemo es una flor que lleva consigo un símbolo cargado de significado y varía según las culturas y regiones del mundo.
En Asia simboliza la vida y la felicidad, por ejemplo en la cultura china, el crisantemo se considera un símbolo de longevidad y juventud relacionado con el consumo de té de crisantemo que se cree que promueve buena salud y una larga vida. En Japón, esta flor se asocia con la sinceridad y la honestidad, al punto de que el Emperador de Japón otorga el "Crisantemo de Oro" a personas destacadas por su honestidad y contribución a la sociedad.
En cambio, en Occidente, el crisantemo es a menudo un símbolo de respeto y honor, utilizándose en ocasiones especiales, como el Día de Todos los Santos, para honrar a los seres queridos fallecidos. Se lo relaciona con el luto y se utiliza comúnmente en funerales y tumbas, mientras en otras partes del mundo su uso en funerales puede ser inapropiado.
En otras tradiciones, el crisantemo se interpreta como un símbolo de sabiduría y conocimiento debido a su forma simétrica y su historia como planta medicinal en la antigua China. Es importante destacar que el significado del crisantemo puede variar según el color de la flor, donde los crisantemos blancos suelen asociarse con la verdad y la lealtad, mientras que los crisantemos rojos pueden simbolizar el amor y la pasión.
DEAR FRIENDS
Please consider this picture as my last upload from this account. Being busy with many other things, I find it difficult to manage things here, as I used to.
Anyway, I do not want to give up my passion, and I wish to be in touch with my wonderful friends here. So I have opened a new account to continue with my friends. Please add me if you consider me as your friend :-)

"Le jour où je vais disparaître, j'aurai été poli avec la vie car je l'aurai bien aimée et beaucoup respectée. Je n'ai jamais considéré comme chose négligeable l'odeur des lilas, le bruit du vent dans les feuilles, le bruit du ressac sur le sable lorsque la mer est calme, le clapotis. Tous ces moments que nous donnent la nature, je les ai aimés, chéris, choyés. Je suis poli, voilà. Ils font partie de mes promenades et de mes étonnements heureux sans cesse renouvelés. Le passé c'est bien, mais l'exaltation du présent, c'est une façon de se tenir, un devoir.
Dans notre civilisation, on maltraite le présent, on est sans cesse tendu vers ce que l'on voudrait avoir, on ne s'émerveille plus de ce que l'on a. On se plaint de ce que l'on voudrait avoir. Drôle de mentalité! Se contenter ce n'est pas péjoratif. Revenir au bonheur de ce que l'on a, c'est un savoir vivre."
Olivier de Kersauson
Romanesco: Some consider it a variety of Broccoli, others a variety of Cauliflower. I consider it a variety of "WTF? That's seriously cool!". I picked this up at the Farmer's Market on Saturday. It should make a pretty interesting curry, though I might try and get a better picture of it first.
Update: I kept this around in the fridge with the full intention of getting a better shot before I ate it. Unfortunately, I procrastinated too long and it went bad....double damn! I never saw this again at the farmers market either. Oh well, maybe next year.
O cemitério do Bonfim pode ser considerado um museu a céu aberto, devido às várias “obras de arte” presentes no local. O cemitério possui um acervo de diferentes estilos, passando pela Belle Époque, o Art-Deco e o Modernismo.
Fundado em 12 de outubro de 1897, final do século XIX, ele está localizado no bairro de mesmo nome. Comporta, nos seus 172 mil metros quadrados, cerca de 17 mil sepulturas. Calcula-se que aproximadamente 40% do total de túmulos são compostos por “Arte Fúnebre”: esculturas, bustos e imagens assinados por artistas famosos, como os irmãos Natali e João Amadeu Mucchiut.
Personalidades
Algumas dessas obras preservam as histórias de várias personalidades e instituições do Estado. Destacam-se, dentre outros, os mausoléus da Polícia Militar, do Corpo de Bombeiros e dos ex-governadores de Minas Olegário Maciel, Bias Fores e Raul Soares. No Bonfim encontram-se, também, os túmulos do escritor Roberto Drummond e de padre Eustáquio, cujos restos mortais foram transferidos para igreja de mesmo nome.
O cemitério pertence à Fundação Parques Municipais, da Prefeitura de Belo Horizonte. O necrotério foi tombado pelo Instituto Estadual do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico de Minas Gerais (Iefha/MG), pelo decreto 1.8531/77.
Consider Tour Montparnasse as an alternative to the endless queues (or lines if you don't like French) of La Tour Eiffel... After all you can't see the Eiffel Tower from the Eiffel can you? (Normally you can go on the top of the roof of the 56 floor Montparnasse Tower seeing Paris 360° but we were unlucky arriving on that one day when the roof was closed and had to see it from a window).
Dear Flickr friends, this marks the end of my travel blog (and my vacation days) from France, posting 27 images in 10 days "on the run" while exploring Paris and Normandie. Big and humble thanks to everyone who took time trying to keep up....
It has been a ragbag of postcards and streetshots, of monochrome and color, that really put the "fun in photography" back, as traveling always do for me. I enjoyed the liberty of not considering if it "fitted in" on my stream, or if I had the time to post to groups, to visit contacts, to leave time to get more comments...
Still, the feedback - as always - is the main reason why I enjoy Flickr so much. And after being a "hurricane" of new images to upload it is back to work - and to a regular pace from now on.
As time goes by, there will be more additions to the "Paris/Normandie 2011" set though, obviously. Cheers :-)

"Consider a tree for a moment. As beautiful as trees are to look at, we don't see what goes on underground - as they grow roots. Trees must develop deep roots in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. But we don't see the roots. We just see and enjoy the beauty. In much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the roots of a tree."

As I mentioned yesterday every trip I have several photos I consider to be my favorites that I try to space out among my post. This is the first of my favorites from this previous trip. I've seen lots of sunset shots of Cinderella Castle from the other side of the castle. I've taken a bunch of them myself. I even took some this trip, but I don't think I've ever seen a sunset photo (I'm sure there are some) from this side of Cinderella Castle which is why I wanted to try it. I really loved the way the sun setting behind me was hitting the castle lighting up the spires almost on fire. The horizon had a nice orange glow as well which I found quite beautiful. Another thing I wanted to try was an extra-long exposure to get a smooth look the water in the moat. I used a 6 stop ND filter along with a 3 stop grad ND to get a 30 second exposure which I could use for the water. The base exposure was 1/13 sec at F10.

Here is an example for the first weeks lesson assignment. This is a wide angle landscape image from Great Falls National Park in Virginia.
I shot this with a D300 (aps crop sensor) and used a 12-24mm wide angle lens. Notice the sweeping perspective created by using this lens at its widest setting.
In order for these wide angle landscape to work well, you need to get in close to your foreground. For this image I choose the rock as a great foreground and positioned the lens within 2 feet of it. This creates what is known as a near/far composition. This image works well also because of the dramatic clouds at sunset. If the sky would have been clear, this image would not be nearly as strong and I would have need to consider shooting a completely different composition with much less sky in the shot.

We can consider this species as an other grey bird without any special characters certainly, but one can also consider that this species has been observed up to 5,600 meters in altitude ! The photo itself was taken 4,400 meters above sea level, near the Chimborazo volcano, the highest peak in the Ecuadorian Andes.
This mountain is sometimes also considered the highest in the world when measured from the center of the Earth, due to its position along the equatorial line. So it is a bird perched on one of the rooftops of the world, well above the clouds, which form the background in the image. At this height the ground is mostly barren, but plants, adapted to cold climate and windy condition in growing horizontaly, still persist.
Along with him about 40 species can be observed in the Chimborazo area, which is quite staggering from an European point of view, a continent where life disappears above 3000 m.

El Parque Nacional Waraira Repano, conocido desde 1778 hasta el 7 de mayo de 2011 como Parque Nacional El Ávila está localizado en la Cadena del Litoral dentro de la cordillera de la Costa, en el centro-norte de Venezuela. Se extiende desde Caracas, y todo el norte del estado Miranda. En 1958 es declarado parque nacional. Ésta formación montañosa es considerada emblema y pulmón vegetal de la ciudad y dentro de él pueden realizarse diferentes actividades por ser uno de los principales atractivos de la capital de Venezuela en alturas que varían desde 120 hasta más de 2.765 msnm, en el Pico Naiguata.
El Parque toma su nombre, tanto el tradicional "Parque Nacional El Ávila") como el oficial (Parque Nacional Waraira Repano), del cerro que domina la ciudad de Caracas, el cual era conocido por los habitantes originarios del valle de Caracas, de etnia Caribe, como Guaraira Repano, que significa "Sierra Grande".
La primera vez que aparece el nombre de "Ávila" como tal es en 1778 según consta en las Actas del Cabildo de Caracas. Antes de esa fecha, la montaña era conocida como "la Sierra del Norte", "la Montaña a la Mar", o "el otro lado del cerro". El nombre de Ávila se debe a Juan Antonio Ávila, quien era dueño de unos terrenos en la serranía. Al morir en 1795, sus hijos heredan sus tierras y todos en Caracas ya la conocían como la sierra de los Ávila o el Cerro de Ávila. De allí el verdadero origen del nombre del cerro.

A very stormy day on the Oregon Coast.
My family recently started commenting on how birds in my shots lately seem perfectly placed, to the point where they had to wonder if they were photoshopped! Nope, just have good bird luck.
