The final element challenge for the year was Air/Wind however tying this together with my other three element images was a bit tricky, I originally wanted fire to be the connecting element among all four images (and it almost is) instead it's ended up being water. This image brings it back full circle to my first element shot in Week 9 (see the link in the comments!)
Shot details: 50mm f/1.8 with 20mm extension tube and a bare YN-560 flash on 1/64 power low at camera left triggered with Cactus V5's. My daughter was a great assistant blowing out the match while squeezing the spray bottle while I snapped away.
El elemento más destacado del templo es el cimborrio, que se alza en el crucero. Tiene planta octogonal, se apoya sobre trompas, y el tambor se divide en dos cuerpos –exteriormente separados por importas- disponiendo de ocho ventanas con arco de medio punto que iluminan generosamente la iglesia. La cúpula se sostiene sobre ocho radios de perfil circular no cruzados que convergen en una clave central y que apoyan en columnas sostenidas por ménsulas, cuatro decoradas con rostros humanos, y otras cuatro con los símbolos de los evangelistas.
La Iglesia de Santa María la Mayor de Villamuriel de Cerrato (Palencia, España), empezó a construirse en los últimos años del siglo XII por encargo del Obispado de Palencia con un claro carácter protector y defensivo, formando parte de un conjunto de edificios. Es de estilo románico de transición al gótico, destacando su unidad de estilo. El templo presenta planta basilical con tres naves, cabecera de tres ábsides rectos, transepto con el mismo alzado que la nave central, un grandioso cimborrio sobre el crucero y una espectacular torre a los pies. Las cubiertas se resuelven con bóveda de crucería sencilla.

As part of my ongoing movie and TV vehicles project, lately I've been looking at flying vehicles. Korben Dallas' flying taxi, from The Fifth Element, seemed like an obvious option.
enjoying the life in forest... together with all my wiered animals... (on the pic just few of them LOL) ... mmhhh... actually homeless again, but don't regrett anything :)
Created in virtual world Second Life
I'm definitely not the first to build one of these, I've taken the time to get the correct proportions and angles; it was a fun challenge!
Retro futuristic, New-York style, flying taxi.
Mostly inspired by J-C Mezières's comic book "Les cercles du pouvoir" (later involved into the Fifth Element movie)
'It is a necessary element in a universe that while it constantly supports us is nevertheless attacking and threatening us without a moments respite.'
-R.H.Blyth
'...myth is one of man's greatest and most significant achievements, giving him the security and inner strength to not be crushed by the monstrousness of the universe.'
-Carl Jung
I am a pretender hunkered down in a maelstrom behind a facade of technical gear. Outside: A shrieking chorale of wild bristlecones on a Serengeti of stone. A sonic and percussive primordial wind, the lion does not sleep.
The bristlecone voices are of epic confidence and endurance. Taunting chorus after chorus of millennial defiance; of standing their ground. Of having withstood the worst that any two or three or more millennia had to offer.
Boughs barely rippling; figurative fuzz on a tennis ball. Smaller trees soulful, shrill. Larger trees rumbling like raging water pouring over a precipice. Theirs is the most elemental of sounds; that of the flowing ethereal deformed by immutable matter.
There is nothing extraneous about the shape of an ancient bristlecone. Every pliant, probing, shapeshifting growth tip has been aerodynamically pruned and tuned through howling millennia to match the precise location and microclimate of each tree. Branches do not break off. Finding a branch lying on the ground after even the fiercest of storms would be akin to finding the wingtip of a Concorde.
Inside, swaddled in bird feathers, I watch an Oort cloud of sliding snowflakes accumulate on the embossed logo of the tent’s leeward panel. The skittering flakes build and shift, forming faces and figures and mountains that slide away only to form again and again. Nature speaks (if at all) in relentless metaphor.
Hours later: Ice crystal stars and a serene slumbering face immersed in cumulus above the logo peaks as the wind begins to fade with oncoming night...And I remember again why I pretend.

Honda introduced the Element in 2002. The rear doors open backwards and there is no B-pillar. It was not sold in Europe so most probably this one was imported from the USA. The Element was discontinued in 2011 without a direct successor.
Theme 1: Elemental
Assigned Element: Water
Gisele: I am so excited when I found out that I got in the competition. My heart was racing and my skin covered in cold sweat when the cast announcement came out. For the first challenge, we got to do a photoshoot based on the natural elements. I got the water element. My inspiration for my photo is that I am a shy sea goddess while still looking elegant and sultry.
