Travel Destination :: Himalaya Mountains In Bhutan
I had no expectations travelling to Bhutan. I knew the architecture would leave me speechless. The people I imagined would be nice. In fact, the Bhutanese are beyond incredible and I love that they love quiet.
It was not until I was high in the Himalayas that I found heaven on earth. There are mountains, which are majestic in many ways, and then there are the Himalayas. Only here can you stand higher than you've ever been on earth and touch the clouds without reaching high above your head.
On the verge of tears, I stood in awe as the clouds rolled in swirling around my head. The fog engulfed my entire body making it near impossible to see a foot in front of me. If it is possible to have a spiritual moment with nature, this was it.
Travelling within Bhutan west to east there is no choice but to negotiate a variety of mountain passes. Do beware. There are few straight roads (as in none) and there might be more bumps than your accustomed to. Bumps and curves are all part of the adventure. The beauty that awaits you at the top of the world surpasses how you get there.
For an experience of a lifetime, add Bhutan to your travel destination list. The memories and stories you'll collect will last a lifetime.
The Tourism Council of Bhutan states this about the environment ::
Bhutan pristine environment, with high rugged mountains and deep valleys, offers ecosystems that are both rich and diverse. Recognizing the importance of the environment, conservation of its rich biodiversity is one of the government’s developments paradigms.
The government has enacted a law that shall maintain at least 60% of its forest cover for all time. Today, approximately 72% of the total land area of Bhutan is under forest cover and approximately 60% of the land area falls under protected areas comprising of 10 national parks and sanctuaries.

Do not you think that for the most expensive TV show on comics, the costumes do not look very much? Well, I generally like it. The main thing is that they do not make a poor story, well, the effects that we will definitely see, excellent, it's already clear! So revealing the characters is a very important factor, I give one hundred percent the fact that Iwan Rheon in the role of Maximus will be chic, this actor is gorgeous. I think, Black Bolt will also be excellent, because he is the main character, although in comics he hardly speaks, I'm afraid for it in the show. About the rest I do not know yet, after the trailer can already be judged. Lokjo also appears, I think he will be something like a baby Groot, in short, he just can not be not cool, and with canonicity, everything should be fine, because we've already seen his figure in the filming.
Well, what to say on this show are high hopes.
By the way, by the way, I started Black Bolt again, wait for a few days
Please don't post your photos here nor GLITTERY IMAGES. They will be removed. Don't invite me to any group. I will not accept ;-)
I had an idea I really wanted to try of athletes bursting into pieces. Luckily a friend of mine, and personal trainer, was wanting some shots to help promote herself. She was up for doing something a little different. This is the first photo I've done. More to follow. (more to follow)
Everything was shot with a white seamless as the background and floor. I have a softbox on each side pointing toward the background. The key light is one 48" octabox pointed at the model at about 45 degrees and slightly down. I positioned a bare canon speedlight on the opposite side of the key light. Its slightly behind the model and aimed directly at her to add some highlights.
She'll only break your heart, it's a fact. And even though I warn you, even though I guarantee you that the girl will only hurt you terribly, you'll still pursue her. Ain't love grand?
Winter morning 0645, rather cool and these four anglers were off to try their luck. July is the month when traditionally trillions of sardines migrate up the KZN coast of Southern Africa, this year they did start the run but very few shoals came in close to the shore. I'll try again next year!
Towards the end of her days in this existence, Sarah became the focus for snide remarks and jokes from the townspeople. She always seemed to be waiting for something - as if she would be rescued. When Charles died, she received significant support from the locals. But that pity and concern developed into a disdain for the recalcitrant waif-like Sarah. And that only drove her deeper into depression and withdrawal.

WEEK 53 – Cordova Super Target Final Day, Set VI
Our look at the left-side entrance to the store shows even more boarded-up glass (almost apocalyptic, no?), and removed signage. Not even much of a labelscar on this side, at least not when you compare it to the previous two pics. Of course, it’s also possible my phone simply didn’t capture it that well.
The building still has a very nice design, and as I wrote earlier in this album, I always liked its architecture. But seeing it in this state is just sorta surreal. The boards threw me for a loop; I was not expecting that. I don’t know about you, but for me they immediately change the tone of this scene, and not for the better. :(

Memorable Quotes From Oliver Twist
Workhouse Boy: [Woken by boy pacing back an forth] Tom, give it a rest will ya? We're trying to sleep.
Hungry Boy: Can't sleep. Too hungry.

Another from a beautiful maternity session a couple weeks ago. Just about everything went right for this session and we were so happy to come away with so many gorgeous images. See the entire shoot at our website, www.am-photography.smugmug.com.
... Even if time is running short and you'd widen it
and in the meantime the fog spread
and you'd have lived by the sea
and also the stars are falling down
some of them both inside and outside
and for a wish that you express
hundred others of them stay out ...
Have no fear . You can see the moon even from here .

In the Netherlands, we celebrate the name day of St. Nicolas, on the 6th of December. The fifth is 'pakjesavond', where we give gifts, accompanied by silly poems about the good, and bad!, side of the receiver... St. Nicolas is the somehow more serious 'ancestor' of Senile Santa....
We’ll be entering the store on the left-hand side this time (as before). This is my attempt at an extreme close-up of the “Expect more. Pay less.” tagline above the corresponding vestibule. I wasn’t happy that it came out off-center like this, so I didn’t post it before. But it wound up being the only such close-up I got, so here it is :P
