La Real Maestranza de Caballería de Ronda (RMCR o RMR) nace a raíz de la Real Cédula de S.M. el Rey Felipe II de 6 de septiembre de 1572 enviada a los concejos de las ciudades y villas del reino instando a la creación de cofradías o hermandades destinadas a fomentar el ejercicio de la jineta. El Cabildo de Ronda, tras una serie de ayuntamientos, acuerda el 3 de agosto de 1573 informar al Rey sobre la constitución de la Hermandad del Espíritu Santo y los Estatutos por los que se rige.

On Friday night we went to see Hanami, the cherry blossoms at Hakone Gardens, a Japanese garden in Saratoga, California. It was an enchanting experience to walk below cherry trees in full blossom.
I processed a realistic, a photographic, and a paintery HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

I had a glorious night out with Chris T and James M tonight up at the Roaches and this barn I should have shot long ago.
It was a little fresh though with a nice layer of frost formed on my bag come the end of the night.
Lit by the beautiful glow of the moon.
Always a pleasure chaps and more to come from here I'm sure.
Happy days.

My hometown Schuders is a small village located higher up in the mountains of Graubünden, a canton in eastern Switzerland. The village has an old chapel with simple stained glass windows. I love you brother, you will be dearly missed.

Like so many, we experience cabin fever after spending a month at home in isolation. Today we escaped to nature for a photoshoot at a nearby trail in Cupertino, California. We had fun experimenting with different poses. The sun came out just in time to add interesting patterns of lights and shadows on this wooden footbridge.
I processed a balanced, a paintery, and a photographic HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and added a Silver Efex Pro 2 filter to promote the lights and shadows. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Chur is a regional capital in the Swiss Alps. I went to high school there at the Kantonsschule. The old part of the town is well preserved, and is car free, which makes it very attractive to walk around town. This is the hallway in a tower, leading to the cathedral located at the edge of the old city.
Most city centers in the USA are owned by cars, not people - I wish cities would introduce car free zones as well. Well, some cities begin to change! Recently we went for dinner to Campbell in the Silicon Valley, California. A few blocks of downtown have been blocked off from cars to provide space for outdoor seating for restaurants. As difficult the COVID-19 situation is, this is one of the positive aspects it brings to society.

We had foodie friends over for pizza dinner. My son cooks excellent pizza, and he offers some unusual creations, such as steak pizza, Chinese style duck pizza, Doppio Zero pizza with arugula and prosciutto di Parma, and a desert pizza with espresso. Since we have these dinners I don't feel like going to local pizza restaurants.

It was very hot when we went to visit the city of Varese in Italy. To escape the heat we drove up to Sacro Monte di Varese, a medieval village on top of a hill. In the center is the Sanctuary, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The houses are built very close together. Our Transylvanian friend organized an exhibition up there, so we got a private tour to a at that time closed museum. This is the view from the museum over part of the town.

Hakone Gardens, a Japanese garden in Saratoga, California, was open at night for cherry blossom viewing in April. It was a a wonderful experience, the drizzling rain contributed to the mystical atmosphere. When I left I passed by a small bamboo garden, where a light casted barcodes on the ground.

Quality night out in the cave tonight with Chris T, James De Luna and Phill Fisher. We started early so it was good to chat whilst waiting for the darkness to descend. Once it did we got cracking.
The lasers and light were in place from Chris T's shot so I thought I could use them. Pointed the camera on the CRT away from the lights and rotated them 8 times. 2 seconds of exposure before lens capping and rotating 45 degrees. Swapped tripods and Phill kindly took up position whilst I span the wool behind him. I think tripod 2 moved as Phill ended up off to one side and it does tweak the ocd a little but I'm not going to loose any sleep over it.
Great to catch up chaps and I had a top night.
This is number 233 of my 366.
Like so many, we experience cabin fever after spending a month at home in isolation. On Sunday we escaped to nature for a photoshoot at a nearby trail in Cupertino, California. We had fun experimenting with different poses. I love this gnarly oak tree and the footbridge, perfect for a photoshoot. To take this shot I had to step back into a field of poison oak - I carefully trampled some plants to avoid the urushiol oils.
I processed a photographic, a paintery, and a smooth HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and added a Silver Efex Pro 2 filter to get this old postcard look. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Chur, the oldest town in Switzerland is always a treat to visit. The city is located in the Swiss Alps, and is the regional capital of the Canton Graubünden (Grisons.) The old part of the town is well preserved, and is car free. This is the old guild house of the winemakers, which is now a hotel and restaurant. It's a delight to walk in the streets, see all the shops and restaurants operating indoors and outdoors. Something I miss in the USA.

Like so many, we experience cabin fever after spending a month at home in isolation. We escaped to nature at a nearby trail in Cupertino, California. There were cute little flowers sitting in a bell.
I processed a photographic, a balanced, and a paintery HDR photo from two RAW exposures, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and added a "wet rocks" Silver Efex Pro 2 filter to highlight to plant in the center. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
