8º Ronda del concurso Pullip Queen (pullips.com) : Paises de Europa
"Celebra la verdad, la belleza, la libertad, pero sobre todas las cosas, el amor... Viva la revolución de Bohemia! "
------------
Me da mucha penica haber estado tantos dias currando sin parar, para que se me jodieran varias cosillas antes de hacer la foto y tener que haberlo puesto todo como buenamente pude para que no quedara muy cutre >.< (además de la pose semi- ortopédica de Yoko... Que en principio estaba más cuqui, pero me cayó de morros y casi me da un patatús ToT) .
Quería intentar plasmar la idea que tenía en un principio y sentirme satisfecha con la fotico, como en la ronda anterior, pero no pudo ser -o- . Me consuelo con lo muchísimo que me gustó la de sepia e intento no pensar mucho en esta, aunque sea la última ronda ya y no pueda remediarlo xDD *sob, sob*
Pese a todo, espero que os guste!! Yoko os manda besitos y Tico se atusa el bigotillo para vosotros! ;3
Our intent was to photograph a sunrise on a lake in Waterton. It really wasn't coming together. However, over my left shoulder my wife was celebrating the rising sun. To me this image is better than the landscape we intended to shoot.
Captive bird at Muncaster Castle Hawk and Owl Centre.
A yellow-billed Kite.
Canon R with 70-200mm f/2.8L lens as I didnt have anything with longer reach with me.
Made a few mistakes - should have gone for shorter exposures (1/2000 as minimum) and probably should have switched off IS. Had a dreadfully slow memory card so buffered frequently which didnt help.
Probably should use a bit of exposure compensation as well!
But I'm getting there!
Until now, Ive mostly captured perched birds - I want to work at birds in flight. Hopefully, this is just the start!
Walking back towards Bhagsu from Mcleodganj I lifted my eyes from the road level shops, and saw this dog watching me intently from second floor. It iis a local street dog who I had fed on a few occasions, and was hoping I would do so again.
It was a wet, cold and miserable afternoon though, and he did not seem to keen on moving from his sheltered spot outside a shop door. I was also not too keen to keep standing around with another storm blowing in. We eyed each other for a few seconds, I swung the camera up to get this shot, and then moved on, as I saw the dog put its head back down and go back to sleep.
Clipped him (but I still like it) - I was concentrating so hard on focusiing on his head - these birds really move and the light was difficult - rain, black sky and thunder and lightening.
This Black Crowned Night Heron was trying to catch other small fish in this pond, not these Carp. But they did, sometimes, nibble on the heron's feet, which didn't seem to bother them. Taken in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Thank you for your visit and comments.
El Train Touristique du Languedoc-Roussillon al mando de la indescriptible Mikado 141 R1126, acaba de cruzarse con un TGV RD.
La más rabiosa actualidad en forma de alta velocidad ferroviaria se aleja en el encuadre, cediendo el protagonismo de la imagen a un tren de vapor de la segunda mitad del siglo pasado.
En el precioso entorno de los viñedos en primavera, nuestra vista y nuestro gusto estético se someten a la dura prueba de dejar vagar la imaginación para intentar decidir cual de los dos ingenios tecnológicos seduce nuestra imaginación.
Uno, la belleza estética moderna, la comodidad, la rapidez de desplazamiento, la aerodinámica en una de sus máximas expresiones... El otro, la nostalgia de lo antiguo, la estética de las formas por las formas, el recuerdo de los orígenes, del nacimiento de nuestra pasión por el ferrocarril, la belleza caduca pero que toca todas y cada una de nuestras fibras sensibles.
Hermosas paradojas para pensar y sentir poquito a poco, por el mero placer de disfrutar de la belleza.
Música recomendada: "Le Methèque". Georges Moustaki.
Chap in cafe in the Quartermile development (which mixes refurbished old, Victorian buildings with brand-new, modern ones, on what used to be a huge hospital site), quite intent on whatever he is working on in his laptop at lunchtime, while a group of women behind him are enjoying a chat.
The shattered water made a misty din.
Great waves looked over others coming in,
And thought of doing something to the shore
That water never did to land before.
The clouds were low and hairy in the skies,
Like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes.
You could not tell, and yet it looked as if
The shore was lucky in being backed by cliff,
The cliff in being backed by continent;
It looked as if a night of dark intent
Was coming, and not only a night, an age.
Someone had better be prepared for rage.
There would be more than ocean-water broken
Before God's last Put out the light was spoken.
by Robert Frost
Hay días que no comienzan demasiado bien... pero en nuestras manos está el conseguir que, por lo menos, finalicen con la calma que nos aporta la contemplación de algo hermoso y que tenemos al alcance de la mano... a apenas unos pocos minutos de coche... Y en verdad, merece la pena buscar esa paz ansiada que aporta la contemplación del ciclo continuo de la vida, de lo que día tras día nos recuerda que el dolor nunca es eterno y que el tiempo ayuda a que las heridas sanen sin más traumas que la pequeña marca que se queda grabada en alguna parte de nuestro mapa emocional... Reconciliarse con uno mismo, permitirse el lujo de saber que lo que prevalece es lo que una siente es puro y transparente, sin dobleces, sin manipulaciones, sin intervenciones malévolas que intentan colgarte una responsabilidad que no te corresponde... no tiene precio y, es más, es gratificante, saludable y reparador.

EL RENACER DE LA PRIMAVERA EN TI
El renacimiento en la más pura expresión con nuevos pensamientos, nuevos comienzos, cambiando modo de actuar de pensar, haciendo una limpieza interior al ritmo de una melodía amorosa.
La fuerza y el poder del ser que todo vuelve a nacer, siendo el momentos para abrirse a la verdad plena del corazón, que late con mayor fuerza, calidez, amorosa ternura, sintiendo la época primaveral en todo momento en nuestro interior que nos lleva al renacimiento y un nuevo despertar, tiempo de despedir el pasado y más aún si ese pasado no dejó en el Alma flores, que el renacer esté lleno de ilusiones y esperanzas de vivir e intentar cambiar el mundo cuidándonos, ayudándonos y escuchándonos los unos a los otros. Tendiendo la mano a todo ser humano, dando amor incondicional, porque con pequeños gestos podemos hacer grandes acciones.
Impulsemos y ayudemos a impulsar los nuevos brotes del renacer en nuestro cuerpo, mente, alma y espíritu y en el de los demás, perfumando nuestros corazones y ayudando a perfumar todos los corazones.
Regalarnos y regalar una suave brisa, el perfume de las flores,ternuras llenas de estrellas, dulzuras, mieles, lunas y soles..... y siempre con el hálito de vida, armoniosa, feliz, alegre quedando siempre un corazón dispuesto a semblar flores de amor, a sentir, unir, pacificar, tranquilizar, solidarizar, cooperar y sensibilizar... Y sobre todo a amar de manera incondicional.
Bald Eagle Flyby at Red Lake. These guys are kind of jerks; they just hang around the lake waiting for the Osprey to fish, so they can attempt to steal the fish for themselves. The Osprey know this, and won't fish if they see an eagle. From what I've seen, nobody ends up with the fish - the Osprey just drop it back into the lake when an eagle comes at them.

Explore is a Flickr feature
with the intent of showing you "some of the most awesome photos on Flickr." Photos are automatically selected by computer according to a secret algorithm called Interestingness .
United States Patent Application
...
October 26, 2006
Inventors: Butterfield; Daniel S.; (San Francisco, CA) ; ff
OnExplore, Explore, inExplore, onExplore, explored
The top 500 photos ranked by Interestingness are shown in Explore. Interestingness rankings are calculated automatically by a secret computer algorithm. The algorithm is often referred to by name as the Interestingness algorithm. Although the algorithm is secret, Flickr has stated that many factors go into calculating Interestingness including: a photo's tags, how many groups the photo is in, views, favorites, where click-throughs are coming from, who comments on a photo and when, and more.
The velocity of any of those components is a key factor. For example, getting 20 comments in an hour counts much higher than getting 20 comments in a week.

Foreword
Vale
This is Allen Ginsberg's last book, particular to his determining intent, his last writings when in hospital aware of his impending death, his last reflections and resolutions—his last mind. When he was told by the doctors that he had at best only a short time to live, he called his old friends to tell them the hard news, comforting, reassuring, as particular to their lives as ever. Despite the intensely demanding fame he'd had to deal with for more than forty years, he'd kept the world both intimate and transcendent. It was a "here and now" that admitted all the literal things of each day's substance and yet well knew that all such was finally "too heavy for this lightness lifts the brain into blue sky/at May dawn when birds start singing on East 12th street..." He was, and remains, the enduring friend, the one who goes with us wherever we are taken, who counsels and consoles, who gets the facts when it seems we will never be told them, who asks "Who'll council who lives where in the rubble/who'll sleep in what brokenwalled hut/in the moonlight..." He kept a witness of impeccable kind.
The playful, reductive, teasing verses, which could sometime make this world seem just the bitter foolishness it finally has to, sound here clearly. What is the grandness of death, of a body finally worn out, at last the simple fact of stubbornly reluctant shit and a tediously malfunctioning heart, of "all the accumulations that wear us out," as he put it, when still a young man? There is no irony, no despair, in delighting as one can in
"No more right & wrong/yes it's gone gone gone/ gone gone away...'
" No poet more
heard, more respected, more knew the intricacies of melody's patterns. He took such pleasure in the whimsical, insistent way the very rhythms could take hold of attention, bringing each word to its singular place. "Chopping apples into the fruit compote-suffer, suffer, suffer, suffer!" His company insisted upon music and he danced with a consummate grace.
Now we must make our own music, albeit his stays with us forever. William Blake's great call, "Hear the voice of the bard…..," now changes to "The authors are in eternity," because ours is a passing world. Yet the heroic voices, the insistent intimacies of their tenacious humanity, hold us in a profound and securing bond. Where else would we think to live? Our friend gave his whole life to keep faith with Whitman's heartfelt insistence, "Who touches this book touches a man." So Allen Ginsberg will not leave us even now. "To see Void vast infinite look out the window into the blue sky."

P.S. When I was a kid in Ukraine, I used to imagine living my life in reverse. I thought I had already experienced everything, and now I was just reflecting on those memories. I have a deep love for poetry. This week, I’m only working two and a half days! How dare I take it easy? But this is my 30-year anniversary gift to myself this summer. I plan to go to the movies, attend concerts, visit parks, and enjoy coffee. Also go to Long Island and other places outside of NYC. When I take my time and don’t rush, I truly feel alive. I realize I am here, fully present, rather than caught up in thoughts of where I should be next. It’s such an incredible feeling to embrace life and appreciate its everyday routine. Life is too short!
Ni qué decir tiene que desde que Sabella nos mostró su maravilla de anillo, más de una nos hemos enamorado locamente
www.flickr.com/photos/sabella/3182360518/
Pues éste es el resultado del primer intento. Evidentemente es muuuucho más peque porque de momento sólo llego a forrar las de 15 ( nif, nif).
Otra cosa, Sabella nos tendrá que desvelar cómo "recórcholis" ( ahora soy fina) cortó el bolote, porque yo un poco más y me quedo sin dedos ( y los de mi marido detrás). Seré burra !!
Pues eso, dedicádísimo a la reina de las Bbs, que te hace un anillo con media bola que nada tiene que envidiar a la más bella cúpula de cualquier catedral xD.
Un beso.
The intent was for the post outside Camden Tube Station covered in stickers to be the main subject with the blurred busy street junction in the distance. I liked the content of the stickers especially the ‘from with hate’ and the staring eyes which seemed to convey the nonconformist Camden Town street culture.
So I thought I'd try for a closer shot but I thought she'd noticed me but never did then walked away after this.
It spotted something, has eye fixed on the target but the foray was unsuccessful.

Walking home from last week’s workshop, I absolutely wanted to capture these colours as I saw them. Crossing the road several times, finding the right frame, waiting for several cars to pass and selecting the right f-stop took several attempts before I got this one. The sunset is as I saw it then, the raw file helped me to recover the street life from the dark depth of the camera’s black heart. 😊
