Pero por él, en homenaje a su belleza y en recuerdo de mi infancia pueblerina y aventurera, caminé hasta el coche, dejé la cámara en su lugar, volví sobre mis pasos tras fotografiar pura naturaleza en lo alto del Coll de Ordino, en Andorra, y me propuse subirme a él.
Algo me impulsaba a desear sentir su tronco bajo mis pies, a buscar sus oquedades para apretarlas con mis dedos, a trepar hasta la rama más alta que soportase mi peso, a notar en mis manos su rugosa aspereza quizá centenaria, a abrazarlo con fuerza para no caerme y también para sentir su vida, su pálpito, el panorama que me permitiría ver desde lo alto de su copa. Que no era poca cosa, pues al fondo tenía el pico de la Coma Pedrosa, la cima montañosa del Principado de Andorra con casi 3.000 metros.
Y sí, fueron minutos mágicos, plenos, llenos de una peculiar intimidad entre él y yo, entre dos especies tan diferentes, hijas de la misma Naturaleza, como un vegetal y un pobre ser humano enamorado de algo tan hermoso como un árbol de inusitada y humilde belleza. Un pequeño interludio de comunicación imposible de comprender si no se ha trepado a un árbol alguna vez, pero con la plena consciencia de lo que se está haciendo en cada movimiento, con cada gesto, sintiendo o intentando sentir lo que podría estar sintiendo el árbol si pudiese sentir.
Sí, quizá alguien pensará... tan sólo un árbol.

Y si lo miras y te resulta familiar, es porque es aquí exactamente donde se ubica la carretera en la que Forrest Gump dejó de correr tras varios años de hacerlo, y decidió dar la vuelta y volver a casa.
Se trata de Monument Valley, un valle ubicado en se encuentra exactamente en la milla 13 de la carretera 163 entre Arizona y Utah, en Estados Unidos.
Este tramo va desde Monument Valley al Mexican Hat y el paisaje es realmente espléndido, con formaciones rocosas de colores rojizos al fondo, en las que los elementos de la naturaleza esculpieron formas muy peculiares.

When is the Midpoint of Winter? Many people think the midpoint of winter is always Groundhog Day, but it varies. If you check the latest edition of the Farmers' Almanac, you'll see that it's Thursday, February 3, 2022—the exact halfway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox.

Ubicada en la ruta que nos acerca a las grutas de Sare, esta construcción que muestra lo mas característico de las casas rurales del pais vasco-francés, ha figurado en todos los foros de fotografía por los que hemos pasado.
Ayer nos decidimos a renovar la imagen. Los árboles han crecido. Lo demás está exactamente igual.
Esta carretera, por el alto de Etxalar, mil curvas aproximadamente, bosques inmensos de robles, requiere paciencia y prudencia hasta alcanzar el pueblo navarro del mismo nombre. Parece que el tiempo se ha parado en estos valles.

The exact time when the Klus was built is unknown, it was first mentioned in a document in 1224. It may have belonged to a Benedictine monastery founded in the 9th century by the hermit Thetwif and renovated by Bishop Milo of Minden in 992, which had already been relocated to Minden around 1000.

No that isn't a 'halo' effect around the upper shore-line, rather; that is the break in the water, which exposed for a long enough time is 'white' in appearance both at the shore break and wherever this is a shallow enough break over a sand bar. I did not use the Photoshop dodge tool, in fact I didn't use Photoshop.
There is a long white break far off the shore which at one point looks like a dodge tool halo; rest easy, it is not, that is the sand bar 'break'.

@Presby Memorail Iris Gardens, Montclair, NJ
"The Gardens are in a park-like setting and open to the public without charge. Donations, however, are greatly appreciated. Each year Presby has over 10,000 visitors. Normally, the blooming season is May 14 to June 4. Check the Presby website (see External Links below) for the exact status of the current season.
The gardens were established in 1927 to honor Frank Presby, a noted horticulturalist and a founding member of the American Iris Society. This world-class collection now includes approximately 10,000 individual plants, representing 6 species and over 3,000 different named varieties of irises. It is the largest non-commercial garden dedicated to irises in the world.[3]"
Note: This year I visited here in time after my trip, most of irises were kinda wilting already. A must-see each year for my granddaughter's name sake!! :-))

* Para aquellos que llaman a las cosas por su nombre… pues
¡Cuántas veces hemos rodeado el borde de las palabras por diversos motivos para no llamar a las cosas, las acciones o las cobardías por su verdadero nombre… y así le va a este mundo nuestro!

¡Inteligencia,
dame el nombre exacto
de las cosas!
…que mi palabra sea

*Edificio “La Giralda”. Badajoz. Extremadura. España.
* El Edificio La Giralda se encuentra ubicado en la Plaza de la Soledad, en el Casco Antiguo, junto a la iglesia homónima, donde se halla la patrona de Badajoz. La torre es una réplica casi exacta, a escala, de la Giralda de Sevilla.
La construcción se debe a los arquitectos Abel Pinna y Martín Corral a principios de la década de los años 30 del siglo XX. La torre sorprende por su arquitectura neoárabe de estilo regionalista andaluz, mezclándose tejas de cerámica, floreros, azulejería, forja, etc…, y rematándose con el dios Mercurio.
* Aunque fuera de mi tierra, Andalucía, me alegré al encontrarme con este monumento en la ciudad de Badajoz y recordé aquellos versos de Juan Ramón Jiménez dedicados a la Giralda:
Giralda, ¡qué bonita
me pareces, Giralda- igual que ella,
alegre, fina y rubia-,
mirada por mis ojos negros- como ella-,
apasionadamente!
¡Inefable Giralda,
gracia e inteligencia, tallo libre
-¡oh, palmera de luz!,
¡parece que se mece, el viento, el cielo!-
Del cielo inmenso, el cielo
que sobre ti –sobre ella- tiene,
fronda inefable, el paraíso!

L’abbaye du Moutier, ou plus exactement le logis fortifié du Moutier, a été façonné par les hommes, par l’Histoire, mais aussi, tel un galet, par la Durolle, qui coule à proximité. Bien qu’un monastère soit déjà mentionné dès le VIe siècle, l’abbaye que nous connaissons actuellement ne nait véritablement qu’au XIe siècle. Elle acquiert le titre de « Fille de Cluny » en 1011, qu’elle conservera jusqu’en 1782. De nombreuses crues de la Durolle ont, pendant ces six siècles, quelque peu malmené l’édifice, avant un coup de grâce final en 1701. De l’âge d’or médiéval de l’abbaye ne subsiste que le logis fortifié, orné d’une porte en ogive du XIe siècle, et flanqué de deux tours, dont l’une abrite un important escalier à vis. Ce même corps de logis surprendra le visiteur par le décor raffiné, dans le goût de la fin du XVIIIe siècle, de ses appartements encore habités. L’abbaye jouxte l’église romane Saint Symphorien et est entourée de l’écrin de verdure qu’est son jardin classique, cloisonné de chambres fleuries et de topiaires

MANO ALZADA
Por fin el 1 de octubre de 2.010, tras décadas de reivindicaciones, Deltebre (Baix Ebre) y Sant Jaume d'Enveja (Montsià) ya se unieron por un puente. Una estructura de 250 metros de longitud que acaba de una vez con una separación que iba más allá de la lengua de río Ebro que riega sus orillas.
Solo había una forma de cruzar de un lado a otro. Bien, para ser exactos, había dos. La alternativa más larga consistía en recorrer 25 kilómetros ya que los residentes en la zona tenían que llegar casi hasta Amposta y después seguir de nuevo paralelos al cauce fluvial. La otra, la más habitual, era tomar un transbordador y alcanzar el municipio de delante.

The exact origin of St. Mary’s is unknown, but is likely to be around 1000 – Aumericus de Harcourt is the first recorded priest, in 1204. The present structure was almost certainly pre-dated by earlier buildings, but the first recorded reference is a charter of 1272 granting an indulgence “to all contributors to the building or the repairing of the church at Henley”. St. Mary’s is basically a 13th century building, but was enlarged and remodelled in the 15th century and again in the 19th century, so the building history is hard to decipher. The 13th century church consisted of a sanctuary (chancel), nave, aisles and probably transepts. Externally there is no remnant of this church, and the Early English style of the west doorway is, in fact, Victorian.
After the sunset, the sky gave a nice warm glow to contrast against these old fence posts.

El Señor Jesús dijo: “Arrepentíos, porque el reino de los cielos se ha acercado” (Mateo 4:17). Podemos ver que el verdadero arrepentimiento es una condición para entrar en el reino de los cielos. Entonces, ¿qué es exactamente el verdadero arrepentimiento? Tal vez usted piensa que tenemos que persistir en hacer cosas como orar, leer la Biblia, asistir a reuniones, no dar daños ni maldecir a los demás y ser capaces de orar y confesar nuestras pecados ante el Señor tras pecar, etc., y que solo teniendo estas buenas conductas podremos lograr el sincero arrepentimiento. ¿Es este realmente el caso? ¿Es coherente tal noción con la voluntad del Señor? ¿A qué se refiere el arrepentimiento que requiere el Señor?

Udny Castle is a tower house in the parish of Udny, southwest of the village of Pitmedden and northeast of the hamlet of Udny Green, Aberdeenshire, in the northeast of Scotland. The area is generally flat but the castle is sited on the highest ground and can be seen for a considerable distance. Its exact construction date is unknown, but its foundations probably date from the late 14th or early 15th century. Additional storeys were added and a later extension, described as a "modern mansion", was incorporated but subsequently demolished. It is a Category A listed building.
Sited on the highest area in a generally flat terrain, the castle can be seen from a considerable distance. The exact construction date is not known but it was probably initially constructed by the Udny family in the 14th or 15th century. The property is first recorded when it is shown on a charter for David II instigated by Ronald of Uldney.
MacGibbon and Ross suggested a construction date of the turn of the 16–17th centuries, but the indentation of the upper floors and thickness of the foundation walls suggest a much earlier date. The main construction work of the keep is believed to have spanned over 100 years and been undertaken by three consecutive lairds; it is reported to have "ruined them all".
The Udny family also owned Knockhall Castle and lived there until 1734 when Knockhall was destroyed by fire; they then returned to Udny. Jamie Fleeman, the Laird's fool, was responsible for saving the family papers from being destroyed in the fire.
The castle was abandoned sometime around 1775 then repair work was undertaken in 1801.
Colonel John Robert Fullerton Udny inherited the estate in 1802. He had been an army officer since 1797 but retired after his marriage to Emily Fitzhugh in 1812. Thereafter he only visited the estate occasionally as his main residence was in London. The couple had one son, John Augustus Udny, but he died a bachelor in 1859. The Colonel's wife died in 1846 after which he had an affair with Ann Allat whom he married on 2 January 1854. However, the couple had a son, John Henry Udny, born out of wedlock on 9 May 1853. A legal case was heard by the House of Lords as to whether John Henry was entitled to inherit the estate as his parents had been unmarried when he was born. The legal arguments describe how the Colonel had wished to do restoration work on the castle but could not afford to do so "owing chiefly to his connection with the turf".
The Colonel died in 1861. The House of Lords had decided in favour of John Henry and he inherited the estate as "though illegitimate at his birth, [he] was legitimated by the subsequent marriage of his parents".
In 1887, it is recorded as owned by John Hay Udny and had been in the family's ownership for several centuries.
Bartizans were included when an extra storey was added in the 17th century.
A mansion house in the baronial style was added in 1874–75 to the design of architect James Maitland Wardrop (of the Wardrop and Anderson company) but was subsequently demolished during the 1960s. Wardrop's son, Hew, was also an architect and undertook some of the decorative work at the castle. He died suddenly of appendicitis while working at the castle on 4 November 1887.
In 1964, restoration work was begun on the original tower house and the mansion house was demolished. Historic Scotland listed the castle as a Category A listed building in April 1971.
Estudio bíblico de las 10 virgenes | Predicación de las 10 vírgenes: ¿Quiénes serán las Vírgenes Prudentes?
Las profecías sobre la segunda venida de Cristo en la Biblia se han cumplido básicamente. Y se profetizó que solo las vírgenes prudentes pueden recibir al Señor. ¿Qué son exactamente las vírgenes prudentes? ¿Cómo deberían las vírgenes prudentes preparar aceite para recibir al Señor?
Enfrentando el día de la aparición del Señor, nosotros, cada hermano y hermana, que tenemos verdadera fe en el Señor esperamos ser las vírgenes prudentes, poder dar la bienvenida al novio y cenar con el Señor. Algunos de nosotros a menudo leemos la Biblia y oramos, miramos y preparamos; algunos eligen trabajar incansablemente, sacrificándose y gastando; otros asisten regularmente a las reuniones, esperando atentamente la llegada del Señor … Todos se están preparando, gastando y esperando para la segunda venida de Cristo, y están firmemente convencidos de que somos las vírgenes prudentes y que, esperando de esta manera, podemos ciertamente dar la bienvenida al regreso del Señor. ¿Pero está preparado nuestro aceite para el corazón del Señor? ¿Cuáles son las vírgenes prudentes después de todo? ¿Cómo deberían las vírgenes prudentes preparar aceite para recibir al Señor?

Virginia - Limbs and leaves; sunrise; the exact moment that darkness began to be overtaken by light....
Photographing at dawn
Dawn is a special time for photographers who want to capture atmospheric landscape images. The colors of the sky are soft and harmonious, the light is soft and diffuse, and nature slowly comes to life. But how can you photograph the dawn in the best possible way? Here are some tips that can help you.
- Plan ahead: find a suitable location from which you have a good view of the horizon. Find out the exact time of sunrise and be there at least half an hour before to set up and take advantage of the best lighting conditions - Use a tripod: since the light is still weak at dawn, you need a longer exposure time to capture enough detail. Therefore, to avoid camera shake, you should use a tripod. It also allows you to better frame the image and try different settings - Experiment with the aperture: The aperture affects the depth of field and the light intensity of your image. Depending on whether you want a sharp foreground or a blurred background, you can choose an open or closed aperture. An open aperture lets in more light, but reduces the depth of field. A closed aperture increases depth of field but decreases light - Play with exposure compensation: your camera's metering can be fooled by the bright light of the sky, resulting in dark or pale images. To avoid this, you can use exposure compensation to make the image brighter or darker. Positive exposure compensation makes the image brighter, negative exposure compensation makes it darker - Shoot in RAW format: RAW format stores more information than JPEG format and allows you to better post-process your image. For example, you can adjust the white balance to make the colors more natural or intense. Or you can increase the contrast to create more depth.
Dawn is a magical time that offers you many opportunities to express your creativity. Try different settings and perspectives and let the colors and moods inspire you. Have fun photographing!
Fotografieren in der Morgendämmerung
Die Morgendämmerung ist eine besondere Zeit für Fotografen, die stimmungsvolle Landschaftsaufnahmen machen wollen. Die Farben des Himmels sind sanft und harmonisch, das Licht ist weich und diffus, und die Natur erwacht langsam zum Leben. Doch wie kann man die Morgendämmerung optimal fotografieren? Hier sind einige Tipps, die Ihnen helfen können.
- Planen Sie im Voraus: Suchen Sie sich einen geeigneten Standort aus, von dem aus Sie einen guten Blick auf den Horizont haben. Informieren Sie sich über die genaue Uhrzeit des Sonnenaufgangs und seien Sie mindestens eine halbe Stunde vorher vor Ort, um sich einzurichten und die besten Lichtverhältnisse zu nutzen.
- Nutzen Sie ein Stativ: Da das Licht in der Morgendämmerung noch schwach ist, brauchen Sie eine längere Belichtungszeit, um genug Details einzufangen. Um Verwacklungen zu vermeiden, sollten Sie daher ein Stativ verwenden. Außerdem können Sie so besser den Bildausschnitt festlegen und verschiedene Einstellungen ausprobieren.
- Experimentieren Sie mit der Blende: Die Blende beeinflusst die Schärfentiefe und die Lichtstärke Ihres Bildes. Je nachdem, ob Sie einen scharfen Vordergrund oder einen verschwommenen Hintergrund wollen, können Sie eine offene oder eine geschlossene Blende wählen. Eine offene Blende lässt mehr Licht durch, aber reduziert die Schärfentiefe. Eine geschlossene Blende erhöht die Schärfentiefe, aber verringert die Lichtstärke.
- Spielen Sie mit der Belichtungskorrektur: Die Belichtungsmessung Ihrer Kamera kann durch das helle Licht des Himmels getäuscht werden und zu dunklen oder blassen Bildern führen. Um dies zu vermeiden, können Sie die Belichtungskorrektur verwenden, um das Bild heller oder dunkler zu machen. Eine positive Belichtungskorrektur macht das Bild heller, eine negative Belichtungskorrektur macht es dunkler.
- Fotografieren Sie im RAW-Format: Das RAW-Format speichert mehr Informationen als das JPEG-Format und ermöglicht Ihnen eine bessere Nachbearbeitung Ihres Bildes. Sie können zum Beispiel den Weißabgleich anpassen, um die Farben natürlicher oder intensiver zu machen. Oder Sie können den Kontrast erhöhen, um mehr Tiefe zu erzeugen.
Die Morgendämmerung ist eine magische Zeit, die Ihnen viele Möglichkeiten bietet, Ihre Kreativität auszudrücken. Probieren Sie verschiedene Einstellungen und Perspektiven aus und lassen Sie sich von den Farben und Stimmungen inspirieren. Viel Spaß beim Fotografieren!
This was undoubtedly the highlight of my 2019 Michigan trip. This was a lifer for me and my number one warbler goal for this year. What made it more special was it was a female and I got to share my find with a client. The story behind the find was remarkable as well. It certainly was an answer to prayer and also the fruit of persistence in the field.
THE STORY:
The weather was cold and rainy and the conditions had been challenging. Driving slowly along the soggy and somewhat challenging dirt roads with windows down I thought I heard a M0urning Warbler sing. We stopped and listened but he never sang again but we enjoyed a Nashvi11e Warbler before resuming our warbler quest. Soon we encountered a downed tree and had to turn around. We went down a different dirt road and soon again encountered a downed tree. We had no choice but to backtrack completely. As we drove slowly along I heard again what I thought was a M0urning Warbler. We stopped and realized it was the exact same place as before. Again he never sang again. Then I saw a bird foraging low and bins raised I was amazed to see a female Lawrence's Warbler. If not for the two downed trees and the phantom M0urning Warbler we never would have found this bird. May she nest successfully and raise a male Lawrence's and may he return nearby in 2020 to breed!
I know you've seen this before but several people asked me to upload it as a stand-alone shot instead of an "also ran"! I wanted to do a different crop this time but I wasn't able to reproduce the exact effect - that's what happens when you fiddle around with many different things as I'm sure most of you know ;-)
I wish you all a great weekend!
