En el Norte de Burgos, la comarca de Las Merindades tiene un paisaje espectacular y pintoresco. En mi serie sobre esta zona de la pasada Semana Santa, visité, además de las cascadas del Valle de Mena y los pueblos de La Bureba, el Valle de Tobalina y el pueblo (ciudad, dicen) de Frías.
Frías es un pueblo muy conocido y explotado turísticamente. Ya lo había visitado varias veces, pero lo que no sabía es que tan sólo unos cientos de metros más arriba, se encuentra su barrio de Tobera, en una estrecha garganta por la que cae el río Molinar en un sinfín de cascadas sonoras, saltando entre las casas de este barrio. En la parte alta de este barrio de Tobera se encuentra, abrigado por una pared vertical de roca, el Santuario de Nuestra Señora de la Hoz, y el Humilladero del Cristo, con un pequeño puente sobre el Molinar.
En próximos días espero subir alguna foto del paisaje que encuentras al descender junto al río entre las casas de Tobera.

Que maravilla es la fotografía digital. En cada viaje, puedes disparar sin más límite que la capacidad de tus tarjetas de memoria, es gratis. Luego, en casa, con calma, procesas aquellas fotos que más te gustan, y siempre te dejas alguna para más adelante, o bien porque no la ves clara o, como es el caso, porque no sabes como "meterle mano" para que quede bien. No pasa nada, sólo ocupa unos megas en tu disco duro, y ya aprenderás como hacerlo más adelante.
Esta fotografia me encanta como composición, pero ha sido muy dificil. La he intentado procesar varias veces pero el cielo estaba bastante quemado y había sombras muy profundas, demasiado contraste.
A partir de un solo raw obtengo 6 exposiciones desde -4 hasta +2ev, hdr, mezcla con capa cero, máscara para arreglar el cielo, pincel en modo subexponer color para aumentar detalle en las sombras del puente y en modo luz intensa para los muros de la ermita, ajuste curvas en color lab para aumentar saturación y máscara de enfoque selectiva en la piedra.

Please, no group invites; thank you!
Belton House is a Grade I listed country house in Belton near Grantham, Lincolnshire, England. The mansion is surrounded by formal gardens and a series of avenues leading to follies within a larger wooded park. Belton has been described as a compilation of all that is finest of Carolean architecture, the only truly vernacular style of architecture that England had produced since the Tudor period. The house has also been described as the most complete example of a typical English country house; the claim has even been made that Belton's principal facade was the inspiration for the modern British motorway signs which give directions to stately homes. Only Brympton d'Evercy has been similarly lauded as the perfect English country house. For three hundred years, Belton House was the seat of the Brownlow and Cust family, who had first acquired land in the area in the late 16th century. Between 1685 and 1688 Sir John Brownlow and his wife had the present mansion built. Despite great wealth they chose to build a modest country house rather than a grand contemporary Baroque palace. The contemporary, if provincial, Carolean style was the selected choice of design. However, the new house was fitted with the latest innovations such as sash windows for the principal rooms, and more importantly completely separate areas for the staff. As the Brownlows rose from baronets to barons upward to earls and then once again became barons, successive generations made changes to the interior of the house which reflected their changing social position and tastes, yet the fabric and design of the house changed little. Following World War I (a period when the Machine Gun Corps was based in the park), the Brownlows, like many of their peers, were faced with mounting financial problems. In 1984 they gave the house away—complete with most of its contents. The recipients of their gift, the National Trust, today fully open Belton to the public. It is in a good state of repair and visited by many thousands of tourists each year The Brownlow family, a dynasty of lawyers, began accumulating land in the Belton area from approximately 1598. In 1609 they acquired the reversion of the manor of Belton itself from the Pakenham family, who finally sold the manor house to Sir John Brownlow I in 1619. The old house was situated near the church in the garden of the present house and remained largely unoccupied, since the family preferred their other houses elsewhere. John Brownlow had married an heiress but was childless. He became attached to two of his more distant blood relations: a great-nephew, also called John Brownlow, and a great-niece, Alice Sherard. The two cousins married each other in 1676 when both were aged 16; three years later, the couple inherited the Brownlow estates from their great-uncle together with an income of £9,000 per annum (about £ 1.17 million in present day terms) and £20,000 in cash (equivalent to about £ 2.59 million now). They immediately bought a town house in the newly fashionable Southampton Square in Bloomsbury, and decided to build a new country house at Belton. Work on the new house began in 1685. The architect thought to have been responsible for the initial design is William Winde, although the house has also been attributed to Sir Christopher Wren, while others believe the design to be so similar to Roger Pratt's Clarendon House, London, that it could have been the work of any talented draughtsman. The assumption popular today, that Winde was the architect, is based on the stylistic similarity between Belton and Coombe Abbey, which was remodelled by Winde between 1682 and 1685. Further evidence is a letter dated 1690, in which Winde recommends a plasterer who worked at Belton to another of his patrons. Whoever the architect, Belton follows closely the design of Clarendon House, completed in 1667. This great London town house (demolished circa 1683) has been one of the most admired buildings of its era due to "its elegant symmetry and confident and common-sensical design". Sir John Summerson described Clarendon House as "the most influential house of its time among those who aimed at the grand manner" and Belton as "much the finest surviving example of its class". John and Alice Brownlow assembled one of the finest teams of craftsmen available at the time to work on the project. This dream team was headed by the master mason William Stanton who oversaw the project. His second in command, John Thompson, had worked with Sir Christopher Wren on several of the latter's London churches, while the chief joiner John Sturges had worked at Chatsworth under William Talman. The wrought-ironworker John Warren worked under Stanton at Denham Place, Buckinghamshire, and the fine wrought iron gates and overthrow at Belton may be his. Thus so competent were the builders of Belton that Winde may have done little more than provide the original plans and drawings, leaving the interpretation to the on-site craftsmen. This theory is further demonstrated by the external appearance of the adjoining stable block. More provincial, and less masterful in proportion, it is known to have been entirely the work of Stanton.

The Gecko Nebula, also known as LBN 437, resides within the Lacerta constellation and is juxtaposed with the expansive emission nebula Sh2-126, which intersects it.
On this picture, the right lobe of the Gecko Nebula boasts numerous recently formed bright stars emerging from its molecular cloud.
Within this domain, the youthful star V375 is linked to the Herbig-Haro object HH398.
These phenomena represent luminous areas of nebulosity associated with nascent stars, originating from the collision between the star's ejected gas and nearby clouds of gas and dust.
Typically, images of this nebula are displayed with a 180º rotation, but I prefer this orientation to showcase it's intricate details in a highly magnified close-up view.
It's a result of 28 hours of integration time at f/3.3 (8 hours on LRGB + 20 hours on Ha).

Here's the link to my post in the Flickr forum about today's changes. Of the current 4,459 comments, with more being added, 99.99% are negative. What in the world was Flickr thinking???
EDIT, 5/29/13. Here's my post in the new forum thread.
Notes: Many of the features previously more easily visible can now be accessed by clicking on You (in the top line menu) and on the three dots (on the right-hand side of the page). And if you want to see your photostream against a white background but lacking the links to Collections and EXIF data that used to appear on the right-hand side, click Edit.
New Note: A just realized that when you go to someone's photostream and mouse over photos, if photos have more than 99 views or more than 99 favorites, all that shows is "99+". And when you go to the photo, it shows the actual numbers of views but not the actual number of faves. I administer a group called Worth a Million Words Pix (which as then co-administrator, I inherited when imapix died), the qualifications for which are a minimum of 1,000 views and 100 faves. Instead of freezing the group in place, I'm just going to assume that 99+ means at least 100, so a photo would still be eligible for invitation into the group. But it's ridiculous not to know how many actual faves a photo has received.
New Note 2: A new horrible loss I just noticed: If you click on a Set (e.g., my set for Zoe Bear), the only part of the description of the set that shows is the first line. That is just a tiny fraction of my description, and the rest of it can now be seen only by going into Collections > the collection in which you think you added the set > Zoe Bear (for example) > Edit. But the description is visible to yourself only. The same holds true for any set for which people have created descriptions longer than a single line.
Okay, Edit to New Note 2, with thanks to annkelliot: When you go to a set and hover the mouse over the end of that single-line description, a box appears with the rest of the description. That's a relief! But like almost everything on the new Flickr, one must search for what used to be immediately visible and user friendly and intuitive.
EDIT, 5/22/13. As you can see in this replaced image, I've decided to stay here and not migrate all my photos to, say, Ipernity. I'm also on Facebook and Google Plus and 500px, but as I've said before, Flickr is my home. It is where I began my life in social media and where I have learned so much from you and have been inspired by you and have become friends with so many of you. I hope many of you will also choose to stay here.
EDIT #2, 5/22/13. Last night I participated in (my first) Google hangout about the new Flickr changes. It was moderated by blogger and old-time Flickr user, Thomas Hawk. I think the participants in the hangout were among the few who like the new format. Certainly about 99% of the 17,350+ who so far have commented in the Flickr help forum thread do not like the changes at all.
EDIT #3, 5/26/13. Three useful tips from lucycat (who hasn't posted here since May 2) that I found on her Facebook page:
1) If you go to someone else's photostream, you can just add '?details=1' to the end of that URL, and you have the old layout, though without any sets [or collections or summary EXIF data. It's the same layout you get when you click Edit on your own photo].
2) Once you're in a Set, click on the white balloon on the right side of the toolbar; that takes you to a different page where you can click on "Details" and that gets you an old-style layout for the set, complete with pages.
3) Do everything in a new tab, and close the tab when you're done. If you navigate out of a photo you will be dropped back in New Flickr mishmash hell.
EDIT #4, 5/30/13: This is what Flickr staffer Thea Lamkin wrote on the forum thread: "To put an end to speculation, and to hopefully give some people closure, the old site is not coming back. However, we will continue to improve upon the new pages, from their usability to their overall performance. These changes will be made according to a balance of qualitative feedback and data, both of which we are monitoring closely."
EDIT #5, 7/1/13. Just when I thought it couldn't get worse, suddenly there appeared a Yahoo toolbar on top of the Flickr toolbar, a design monstrosity and something akin to advertising (or at least promotion), to which as a Pro member I'm not supposed to be subjected.
Here's an interesting article.
This is a particularly good article outlining Flickr's history and where it might go from here. Beware: The language is not family friendly.

e, perchè no...:
Cagliari, da una garitta militare ora trasformata in una piccola cappella.
Il titolo non è una forma di presunzione. Karel, il nome punico di Cagliari, significa realmente Città di Dio. È chiamata anche Città degli Angeli per la leggenda della lotta tra gli Angeli e Lucifero che si svolse sopra il Golfo (a seguito della caduta da cavallo di Lucifero, la sua Sella finì sul mare trasformandosi appunto nella "Sella del Diavolo", la nostra collina a picco sul quel Golfo la cui bellezza incantò gli Angeli che lo scelsero come dimora e che viene appunto chiamato Golfo degli Angeli). Il termine Città del Sole è universalmente noto come appellativo della Città, e la ragione è evidente per chi l'ha visitata... Qui trovate un'articolo interessante sul nome di Cagliari: www.pittau.it/Sardo/cagliari.html
Dedico la foto a Chi, come me, ha questa splendida città nel cuore. A chi l'ha visitata e non l'ha più scordata. A chi la visiterà in futuro. E a chi continuerà a sognarla da lontano...
- - -
"[...] Anche le reclute vanno a Cagliari cantando, perchè Cagliari è la Bandiera, perchè Cagliari è l'Avventura, è la Luna da toccare con mano, è l'Iniziazione ai Misteri."
Salvatore Cambosu - Miele amaro
"[...] È una città bellissima, aspra, pietrosa, con mutevoli colori tra le rocce, la pianura africana, le lagune, con una storia tutta scritta e apparente nelle pietre, come i segni del tempo su un viso: preistorica e storica, capitale dei Sardi e capitale coloniale di Aragonesi e di Piemontesi, una delle più distrutte dai bombardamenti dell'ultima guerra e, in pochi anni, una delle più completamente ricostruite."
Carlo Levi - Tutto il Miele è finito"
"[...] Anche le Città credono d'essere opera della mente o del caso, ma nè l'una nè l'altro bastano a tener su le loro mura. D'una Città non godi le sette o le settantasette meraviglie, ma la risposta che dà a una tua domanda."
Italo Calvino - Le Città Invisibili
The Missouri Symphony's Firefly Music Festival continued with a date at the State Historical Society of Missouri, where they performed a themed set entitled "Playlist at an Exhibition." It was an immersive experience conceived by conductor Wilbur Lin. Patrons witnessed the sound close-up and could walk around the orchestra while they were playing.

Oh no-there`s got to be a better way
Say it again
There`s got to be a better way-yeah
What is it good for?
War has caused unrest
Among the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die?
War-huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War-huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Yeah
War-I despise
`Cos it means destruction
Of innocent lives
War means tears
To thousands of mothers how
When their sons go off to fight
And lose their lives
I said
War-huh
It`s an enemy of all mankind
No point of war
`Cos you`re a man
Give it to me one time-now
Give it to me one time-now
War has shattered
Many young men`s dreams
We`ve got no place for it today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord, there`s just got to be a better way
It ain`t nothing but a heartbreaker
War
Friend only to the undertaker
War
War
War-Good God, now
Now
Give it to me one time now
Now now
What is it good for?
Edwin Starr, 1970.

Snowshill is a small rural settlement in the north of the borough of Gloucestershire which lies on a ridgeway, with the villages of Broadway, Buckland and Laverton nearby. The village offers panoramic views from certain vantage points within the conservation area boundary, while surrounding landscapes, including the Cotswold Ridge and Avon Valley, offer limited views into the village. Snowshill is a small, remote upland settlement situated in the Cotswold Hills in the Cotswold Area of Natural Beauty (AONB). It is one of the highest villages in Gloucestershire at 1,000 feet above sea level. The village of Snowshill is on a small unclassified road which runs from Broadway to Bourton on the Water. It is a nucleated village – one where the houses are located round a focal point such as a church or village green. Historically Snowshill developed as a farming village with the main industry being wool production. Local stone quarries provided the primary building materials for the village; stone slate roofs and stone walls The topography of Snowshill and the surrounding landscape means that the village remains sheltered from external views. However from the outskirts of Snowshill, from higher land and within Snowshill, there are glimpses of the village. Over time Snowshill has had many variations in name, including Snawesill in the 1087 Domesday Book, Snausilla in 1227, and Snoweshulle in 1360. The name Snowshill appears for the first time in the Valuation of Crown Lands of 1570. Derived from the old English, snaw for snow and hyll for hill, the name of the village refers to its topographical meaning i.e. “Hill of Snow”. It is often said that snow remains in the folds of the hill long after it has melted in the Vale. Despite being a relatively small village with a little over 200 inhabitants, Snowshill has a long history. The settlement sits near a large amount of spring water; it is also positioned close to the path taken by two prehistoric trackways. In the early ninth century King Kenulf gave the manor of Snowshill and the tithes and chaplaincy together with those for Stanton to St Mary’s Abbey, Winchcombe which had been founded in approximately 798 AD Following the Norman invasion of England, the whole land was claimed by William the Conqueror who granted lands to his followers, including the abbey at Winchcombe which still had control of Snowshill and Stanton. The Domesday entry for Snowshill states: “The church of St. Mary of Wincelcumbe holds Snawesill, in Holfordes hundred. There are seven hides taxed. In demean are three plowtillages, and twelve villeins, and two bordars, with fixed plow-tillages. There are six servi. It is worth and was worth 100 sol”. Carolyn Mason in her book Snowshill; A Gloucestershire Village says this equates to the manor having 840 acres and the population of the village being about 802 . Rudder, in his book A New History of Gloucestershire says that Winchcombe Abbey assigned the manor of Snowshill to the monastery of St Ebrulf in Normandy in the twelfth year of Edward II’s reign (1296) but that the manor returned to the abbey in 1415 when foreign onasteries were divested of their land in England. Snowshill remained in the ownership of the abbey until the Dissolution when it became the property of Henry VIII. Rudder says that Henry assigned the manor of Snowshill to Queen Catherine as part of her dower. This is confusing as three of his six wives were called Catherine. It seems likely that it was Catherine Parr as following the death of Catherine Edward VI granted it to John, Earl of Warwick. Catherine Parr was the only one alive in 1547 when Edward became king. Following the execution of the Earl of Warwick in the reign of Queen Mary the manor of Snowshill reverted to the possession of the Crown until it was given to Francis Bulstrode according to Carolyn Mason although Rudder makes no mention of this. At the time of Rudder’s history the population of Snowshill was 236 (more than today) and he states that at the beginning of the 18th century the population was about 190 and that there were 38 houses. The chapel is described as small with a tower at the west end ornamented with pinnacles and battlements. The chapel, together with the manor of Stanton was granted by the Crown to John Elliott. When the lands around Snowshill were enclosed in 1761 by Act of Parliament 202 acres were given to the rector to replace the tithes. The English Heritage register entry for the gardens of Snowshill Manor states that it was sold in 1572 to John and Thomas Warne (or Warren)
and that it remained in that family until around 1645 when it was sold to Will Wall. Between 1712 and 1743, the Manor was owned by the Sanbach family (Carolyn Mason and Rudder give the family name as Sambach) and, during that time, there were some additions to the house. William Sambach the younger died without issue in 1759 and Samuel Blackwell purchased the estate. He sold to John Small of Clapham in Surrey (d 1779). From 1759 to 1919 the Manor was owned by landlords who were largely absent. In the 17th century the manor and some of the cottages were built. The Rose cottage and The Old Shop, Manor Cottages and Green Close, all date to this time. The brewhouse and dovecote within the grounds of the manor are possible earlier from the 16th century. Part of Tower Close dates to the early 18th century and the two garden houses within the manor grounds are late 18th century. The chapel was rebuilt in 1864 but very little of it survives in the new church.
