In 1896, Montald came in as professor of the decorative arts at the Academy of Fine arts in Brussels, a post he would hold until 1932.
His students there include some of the best-known names of Belgian painters: René Magritte, Paul Delvaux, Edgard Tytgat, Paul Cauchie, Joseph Lacasse, Armand Bonnetain, Paul Heymans...

La Vall Fosca es un valle pirenaico de formación glacial, por dónde discurre el río Flamisell y sito en la parte norte de la comarca del Pallars Jussá, Cataluña.
Recibe el nombre de "Fosca" debido a las fuertes pendientes de las montañas que lo forman, lo que provoca que la luz solar llegue a tocar al fondo del valle durante pocas horas al día, sobre todo en invierno. Está constituida, en la parte norte, por más de veinte estanques bajo picos de más de 2.500 m de altura. El conjunto de estos lagos forma un entramado unido mediante túneles que se denomina lagos de Cabdella, y que tiene como función suministrar agua de forma constante a dos centrales eléctricas, Sallente y Cabdella, la primera en el embalse de Sallente, y la otra en la población de Cabdella.
Hay tres pequeños valles: Ricuerna, Filià y el barranco de Estany Gento. En el pueblo de Capdella se juntan estos tres barrancos y forman el río Flamisell, que discurre por el municipio de Senterada hasta Puebla de Segur, donde se junta con el Noguera Pallaresa.
En 1914 se construyó la primera central hidroeléctrica pallaresa.
El pueblo más alto del valle es Capdella que se encuentra a 1420 metros de altitud y que cierra el conjunto de núcleos rurales que conforman la Vall Fosca: la Pobleta de Bellveí, Estavill, Envall, Antist, Castell-Estaó, Beranui, la Plana de Mont-Rós, Astell, Obeix, Aguiró, Paüls, Pobellà, Mont-ros, Molinos, la Torre de Capdella, Aiguabella, Espuy y la Central de Capdella.
Amid London's ever-evolving skyline and the constant refurbishment work inside interiors across the capital, there's something reassuring about a location that, 100 years after it opened, remains almost unchanged. I last photographed the beautiful Cecil Brewer staircase inside Heal's Department Store nearly two years ago, and it had been even longer since I last captured the view looking upwards from the bottom of the spiral. Such a wide variety of compositions and finishes can be achieved by shifting the position of the camera just a few inches one way or another, or by adjusting the focal length of the lens by just a few millimetres, and the staircase's perfect geometric shape and the majestic pendant lights hanging from its ceiling mean it's always a joy to return to.
One detail I hadn't noticed during previous visits -- mostly because it's less noticeable from the top of the spiral -- is how the dozens of hanging lights are constantly swaying back and forth. As hypnotic as this was to watch, it was also challenging for this image, where I was hoping to blend multiple bracketed exposures for the cleanest possible finish. Although I was able to use luminosity masks in Photoshop to brighten the shadows along the staircase, the pendant lights contain traces of midtones as well as highlights, and as a result their constant movement -- even though this was almost imperceptible -- made it difficult for the frames to be perfectly aligned and to achieve a sharp finish. The only way to overcome this was to use a high ISO in order to keep the shutter speed fast, while at the same time holding onto a narrow aperture to ensure that the entire staircase and all of the suspended lights remained in focus.
The final result is a blend of eight exposures, with the darkest exposures for the lights and creating a natural vignette around the edge of the frame, and the brightest exposures restored along the underside of the stairs as they approach the ceiling. I liked how the moody and mysterious tone seemed to come from letting the repeating patterns be the dominant elements of the image, and for this reason I placed emphasis on the darker exposures, where the texture of the balustrade and the subtle mixture of light and shadow along each step in the staircase was best defined.
After editing out a couple of water sprinklers, as well as a small portion of the staircase in the upper-right of the frame which felt like a bit of a distraction, I used a mixture of Curves, Levels, Colour Balance, Hue/Saturation, Selective Colour and Gradient Map adjustments to shift towards a colder finish along the staircase, while using luminosity masks to retain the warmer tones inside the pendant lights. Inside Nik's Silver Efex Pro, which was set to the Luminosity blend mode so that the image would remain in colour, I gently lowered the midtone and shadow structure along the staircase in the foreground, while increasing the Soft Contrast that would help to play up each step's tonality. Finally, I added three low-opacity Colour Lookup presets -- Edgy Amber for the highlights, Foggy Night for the midtones, and Night from Day for the shadows -- and set each adjustment to Soft Light, which helped to emphasise the cold and slightly ethereal finish I'd been aiming for.
While the final result involved a lot of incremental editing to the tone and the light, I tried not to stray too far from the original details of the scene. The location is deservedly one of the most photographed staircases in London, partly because, even after a century, it looks stunning straight out of the camera.

The name Talkin comes from the Celtic name 'Talcan' which means brow of a hill. Tarn or 'Tjorn' is Norse for small teardrop lake.
Talkin Tarn was formed by the force of glaciers 10,000 years ago. The ice carved the landscape leaving the natural bowl which filled with water as the glaciers melted. The tarn is constantly topped up by natural freshwater springs which bubble up from below

“Keep a notebook. Travel with it, eat with it, sleep with it. Slap into it every stray thought that flutters up in your brain. Cheap paper is less perishable than gray matter, and lead pencil markings endure longer than memory.” -Jack London

The Venetian harbour of Chania was built between 1320 and 1356. The harbour was used for commerce and also to control the Sea of Crete against pirates.
The Venetian harbour had room for 40 galleys, but it constantly silted up and was never very deep, so it kept having to be dredged, a difficult job with the equipment of the time.
On its north side the harbour is protected by a breakwater. Near the middle of this is a small bulwark like a gun emplacement and the tiny chapel of St Nicholas. This was where the Venetians and Turks executed condemned prisoners.
The Firkas Fortress at the harbour entrance and the St Nicholas bastion in the middle of the breakwater defended the harbour from raiders.
Today, the Venetian harbour offers moorage for fishing boats and other small craft, while the commercial and passenger port of Chania is seven kilometres to the east, in Souda Bay.
The lighthouse is a distinctive feature of the harbour. It was built at the harbour entrance by the Venetians and restored in its present form by the Egyptians (1830-1840). The lighthouse of the Venetian harbour of Chania always fascinates visitors and is one of the most-photographed monuments in Crete.

Although the harbour is technically within the parish of Axmouth, the ancient village of Axmouth is about one mile upriver. Over the centuries much silt has been deposited in the River Axe, and Axmouth is no longer at the river's mouth. In fact, the harbour is right next to Seaton, which is on this side of the river, and where there is a yacht club and a small marina. Connecting Axmouth with Seaton was the first concrete bridge in this country, dating from 1877. The old bridge, which can just be seen on the far left, is still used by pedestrians, but a more modern one alongside caters for road traffic. Several hundred years ago, Axmouth harbour was quite important and is said to have accounted for one-sixth of Devon's trade in the 16th century. But the constant silting up and the arrival of the railway at Seaton in 1868 made it uncompetitive to bring goods in by sea. The harbour is now only used by small pleasure craft and local fishing boats, and is virtually inaccessible at low tide.

I'm constantly here at this park as you could see through my photostream and it is so nice to see something different and positive at the same time!
Looks like someone was busy Sunday evening when these sculptures were discovered Monday morning on the Humber river near the Old Mill. Everyone was scambling to find out who did it when the artist uncovered his identity by revealing himself to the Star.
"It was a real thrill to see it in the paper," Riedel told the Toronto Star. "It was a nice way to wake up with a coffee."
Riedel started balancing rocks a few years ago when he saw a man doing it in Vancouver's English Bay "I find it a really nice way to relax and get a bit of a workout at the same time," he said.
I think he meant to say, "Creating sculptures at dusk is the only way to alleviate the throbbing pain of losing my one true love."
It's amazing how some of these can stand upward the way they do. Lets hope this stays on the river for a long time! We need more Peter Riedels in this world! A true passionate artist!

Trotz 1/500 sek gelang es mir nicht, diese Tulpenblüte von oben scharf zu fotografieren. Immer wieder fegten Windböen über das Tulpenfeld und die schon weit aufgeblüten Blütenkelche waren ständig in Bewegung.

Despite 1/500 sec, I was unable to take a clear photograph of this tulip blossom from above. Gusts of wind kept blowing across the tulip field and the calyxes, which had already fully blossomed, were constantly in motion.

The almost constant rain (since November!) has finally stopped and we had our very first snowfall of the season last night. Muffet (who hates anything to do with the outdoors) prefers the snow over the mud (its not so ikky) but it is cold and I couldn't convince her that the scarf would make standing outside in the snow a little more enjoyable.

I wanted to walk through the empty streets
And feel something constant under my feet,
But all the news reports recommended that
I stay indoors
Because the air outside will make our cells
Divide at an alarming rate until our shells
Simply cannot hold all our insides in,
And that's when we'll explode
(and it won't be a pretty sight)
And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go...

Mountains are formed by the upward thrust of tectonic plates, and that is why the highest mountains in the world are all relatively new. If there was no movement of the earth's crust the surface would be flat, as water and weather eroded it over time.
Old mountains like Ben Lomond are constantly breaking down. A great deal of this occurred at the end of the last Ice Age as the glacier on top of the mountain melted away and dragged rocks over the side with it.
Here we see a pyramidal pile of rocks - all formed naturally as they rolled down the mountainside and came to rest in this spot. I have used sepia here to convey something of age.
