Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) - Le jeune apprenti [The young apprentice] (1918-1919). In the Walter-Guillaume Collection at the Musée de l'Orangerie, Paris.
Modi'in is an Israeli city located in central Israel, about 30 kilometres west of Jerusalem. The population about 100 thousend.
The Modi Khola Valley, located in the heart of the Annapurna Conservation Area in Nepal is a supremely cool place. After you leave the village of Deurali at 3200m, you head down into this spectacular place, with peaks soaring on all sides. As you walk up the valley, following the path of the river, Gangapurna (7455m) lies visible at the head, with Machhapuchare Base Camp your destination.
This shot was taken after a light snowfall in the early morning light. The sun had only just started rising over the peaks, leaving most of the valley in shadow.
This was a very challenging shot to process and I am still not 100% convinced I have it down pat. It is a blend of two exposures, with areas manually painted in using masking in Photoshop. After many hours of work, scrapping and restarting, I settled on this. Thoughts?

Antoon van Dyck (Antwerp, 1599 - London, 1641) Jupiter and Antiope (1617-18) - exhibition Van Dyck Court Painter - Turin, Royal Museums - Palatine Hall of the Sabauda Gallery
Fu uno dei più grandi artisti del Seicento europeo, il miglior allievo di Rubens e rivoluzionò l’arte del ritratto del XVII secolo.
Personaggio di fama internazionale, gentiluomo dai modi raffinati, artista geniale e amabile conversatore, Van Dyck fu pittore ufficiale delle più grandi corti d’Europa, dagli aristocratici genovesi ai Savoia, dall’Arciduchessa Isabella alle corti di Giacomo I e di Carlo I d’Inghilterra, che lo definiva “gloria del mondo”: così Carlo I amava definire il maestro fiammingo, per accrescere il lustro e il prestigio della corte.
In Italia, Van Dyck soggiornò per sei anni, dal 1621 al 1627, visitando numerose città e potè approfondire lo studio dell’arte italiana e in particolare quella veneta, avviò i contatti con l’aristocrazia genovese, i sovrani torinesi e i duchi di Firenze, committenti che lo condussero a specializzarsi nella ritrattistica .Formandosi sui modelli di Tiziano e rispondendo alle esigenze celebrative della committenza, Van Dyck elaborò un genere del tutto personale, caratterizzato da una grande perfezione formale. Opere come la Marchesa Elena Grimaldi Cattaneo, il Cardinale Guido Bentivoglio, Emanuele Filiberto Principe di Savoia, l’Arciduchessa Isabella Clara Eugenia in abito monastico, Il Principe Tomaso di Savoia Carignano, Carlo I e la Regina Enrichetta Maria sono esempi sublimi dei suoi ritratti che, per la naturalezza e spontaneità dei gesti, per la cura estrema nella resa dei materiali preziosi come sete e merletti, per le pennellate impalpabili che creano atmosfere vibranti e seducenti, esercitano ancora oggi un fascino irresistibile.
Van Dyck, the great Flemish paintery, was Rubens’ star pupil and one of the greatest exponents of 17th-century European art, revolutionizing the portraiture of the period.
He was also an internationally famous personality, refined gentleman, charming conversationalist, brilliant artist and official painter to the most important European courts.
Van Dyck spent six years in Italy, from 1621 to 1627, visiting various cities and studying Italian art and especially that of the Veneto. Here he established contacts with the Genoese aristocracy, the royals in Turin and the dukes of Florence, who commissioned works and led him to specialize in portraiture. By basing himself on Titian’s models and fulfilling the celebratory needs of his clients, Van Dyck developed a completely personal genre, characterized by great formal perfection. Works like Marchesa Elena Grimaldi Cattaneo; Cardinal Guido Bentivoglio; Emanuele Filiberto, Prince of Savoy; Archduchess Isabella Dressed as a Nun; Tomaso Francesco of Savoy, Prince of Carignano, and Charles I and Queen Henrietta Maria are supreme examples of his portraiture which, due to their naturalness and spontaneous gestures, the meticulously rendered precious silks and lace, and the imperceptible brushwork that creates vibrant and seductive atmospheres, still exert an irresistible fascination today.
One of the highlights at Dublin in 2015, Air India 747-400 VT-ESO as "Air India One " with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on board, on a very brief half day state visit to Ireland.
Originating in New Dehli via Dublin enroute to the United Nations, it was a real treat as Air India does not serve Dublin nor does the 747 these days either.
Both arrival & departure during daylight hours & tipped off well in advance ensured everybody got their photos & really was an " Indian summer ".
Delivered to Air India in December 1993 & named Khajuraho.
A massive phytoplankton bloom stained the waters of the Atlantic Ocean north of Iceland with brilliant jewel tones in late summer, 2014. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this true-color image on August 2. Huge colonies of the floating, plant-like organisms create swirls of green, teal and turquoise and cover over 80% of the visible ocean off the northeast coast of Iceland.
Marine phytoplankton require just the right amount of sunlight, dissolved nutrients and water temperatures which are not too hot, nor too cold to spark explosive reproduction and result in blooms which can cover hundreds of square kilometers. Phytoplankton form the base of the marine food chain, and are a rich food source for zooplankton, fish and other marine species. Some species, however, can deplete the water of oxygen and may become toxic to marine life.
