While shooting this I realized I wanted something with a Coraline feel to it. Especially the song Exploration from the soundtrack. Possibly one of my most favorite sound tracks ever.
If you were to like and/or share my Facebook page, I wouldn't be mad ;)
Photographie réalisée samedi, pendant une sortie sur la petite ceinture avec JC Charly Ixe. J'en ai profité pour enfin tester mon Helios qui dormait dans mon sac photo depuis plus d'un an ^^"
Urbex Exploration

During a late night walk in the park I found this old tunnel leading to the old catacombs under the city. I’m not really dressed for an urban exploration right now but I’m just so curious I have to see where this leads….

Viva Lancia! This location is a simple one; a lost 1960s Lancia Flavia car in the garden of an abandoned house in Belgium.

escúchame tranquilo mientras las aguas se mecen
adormecido en mi regazo...
tocando solo un instante tu dolor pausado...
curando las heridas del tiempo...de los días
y dejate... olvidate...retira de tu mente lo pasado
el peso profundo y solitario ...la culpa permanente
que con grilletes te mantiene preso...indolente...alterado
retrasado...ausente...atado a la tristeza ...las trampas de tu mente
escucha...los pasos sencillos ...el suave caminar
de los instintos... del leve devenir de la alegria
pequeño... cautivo... respira... respira.....respira
de la mano acompañado... de los sueños
que aun son halos.... que serán...
de todo lo que has dejado
y que espera ser tomado
aquí ahora... y siempre....delante de ti
está la vida
escucha... como late...más y más...
está en ti... aquí y ahora
EL TACTO DEL ALMA

Some history: This medieval fortress was erected in the 15th century. It was the most westerly stronhold of the powerful Norman family, named Barry, who held vast areas of County Cork.
In 1602 the castle was surrendered to British Elizabethan forces and was sold to Arthur Freke in 1641. The castle was beseiged in 1642 by a force of Irish led by the McCarthy clan. The siege lasted for ten months! after which the Frekes had to leave. (being besieged for 10 months is rather tiresome, one would need a vacation....)
The Frekes returned in due course, and bought the nearby port town of Baltimore in 1703 for £1,809! (today, that would just about get you a good weekend in Baltimore wink emoticon )
The Frekes thus became one of the most powerful families and largest landowners in the county. In 1910 the castle was destroyed by fire but was rebuilt and a new wing added in the following five years.
During the War of Independence (1919-1921), John Evens Freke flew the Irish Tricolour over Castlefreke, in support of the Irish rebellion against British rule. He became a pioneer in the new science of aviation and, in the summer of 1913 and 1914, gave many exhibitions of aeroplane flying and aerobatics, and had served during World War I in the Royal Flying Corps. When the War was over, he purchased lands in Kenya, as did many British officers. He left Ireland c.1926 and went to live in South Africa. He died in Johannesburg, 24th December 1970.
Castlefreke estate of about 1,000 acres was taken over by Irish Land Commission and divided up between neighboring small farmers and the Irish Forestry Commission. In recent years forest walks and picnic areas have been open to the public.
Explored on the river side close to where i live.

So the focal length my fisheye lens is kind of broken but it allows me to take close up shots so I thought that I might as well use it for lego shots.
EDIT: I took apart my fisheye and fixed the issue, therefore it no longer is able to take shots this close up.
Before I took my hike on Mount Etna, Shirley and I visited and did the normal tourist exploration. That involved a trip up on the cable car at Etna Sud followed by a local hike. Such events arn't really my cup of tea but it did give Shirl a good degree of an intro into the terrain and environment.
This photo was taken a few hundred feet lower than one of the small volcanic cones (Cisternazza I think) close to the top of the summit gondola station. It clearly shows a party making their way along the edge of a cone. Of course the cloud swirling around adds nicely to the atmosphere.
