A late summer evening visit to the birthplace of vampires. The abbey is widely known as the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Thanks so much all My Flickr Friends The Comments & Faves..... ;-)
Santa Maria de Montserrat is a Benedictine abbey located in the mountains of Montserrat (translated as "saw mountain" due to the sharp peaks) in Catalonia Spain. The basilica is a Gothic structure that also uses Renaissance shapes and traditionally Catalan architecture. It was severely damaged in the 1800's and reconstructed at the end of the 19th century.
The monochrome world outside makes me sad:-) I miss the days when the colors are turned on. A picture from archive. I wish everybody some extra color and positive emotions these days.
Thank you for all the comments and favs, my friends.
Another shot from my Kayak. Longhorn Dam was built by the city of Austin and finished in 1960 as the last in a chain of Colorado River dams in central Texas started during the Great Depression. The dam derives its name because it was the ford across the Colorado for longhorn cattle drives as a part of the Chisholm Trail in the late 19th century.
The dam stands 36 feet (11 m) high and runs 506 feet (154 m) across. The "reservoir impoundment length," is 5.75 miles (9.3 km), creating Lady Bird Lake (formerly called Town Lake), a freshwater lake with a surface area of 525 acres (2.1 km2) and a 12.5 miles (20.1 km) shoreline. The original purpose of Lady Bird Lake was a cooling lake for Austin's Holly Street Power Plant, a 570 megawatt natural gas and fuel oil fired power plant. The plant ceased power production in September 2007, and will be deconstructed beginning early in 2012.
On July 10, 2007 two teenage girls canoeing on Lady Bird Lake were sucked through the dam. The lake was closed for recreation due to record amounts of rain in the months of June and July, however the girls were unaware of the ban. Neither of the girls was hurt.
Some strange things happen occasionally. When you're at home the sun is going to set so beautifully shining, and when you leave home for shooting there's nothing special outside:-) Sometimes you're lucky even when you're not in time. The sun has already set at the moment we came to the location. The clouds open some windows to the light, reflections and stillness complete the scene.

I had been out with my camera along the creek and woods by my house and was walking back home. Before crossing the street to my home, something caught my eye in the wooded area. This lovely doe was in the wooded area by me grooming herself. She looked up at me as I looked at her. My camera had all the wrong settings as I had been trying to capture flying hawks and she was in the recesses of the woods. I carefully changed my settings expecting her to run at any second, but she sweetly stayed in one spot staring me down as I did her. After a bit, she slowly sauntered off further back into the woods. This is a somewhat strange encounter in a subdivision right outside of the city, but what a delight it was for me. It is certainly not the best capture of a deer, but probably the most special for me. While I was shooting this lovely doe, my daughter called to say a fox was in her front yard :) She is also in a populated subdivision.

Chasing Pirates by Norah Jones
WE WOULD-BE PIRATES ; 0)
(please refer to Urban Dictionary for definition and usage ; 0)
You captured my heart and right from the start
I chased a dream I once had
I sailed seven seas. You gave me a key
a message; a map to your heart
Now I'm tracing the trail, while the billowing sail's
like a wedding dress strapped to the mast
Let the moon be my guide. May the heavens decide
If the tide and the wind are with me
In my head I still sing of the Pirate that brings
2 pieces of 8 full of love
but I'm caught in the mist and I cannot resist
the storm that is breaking like glass
Lightning strikes; thunder crashes. I feel butterfly lashes
that sting with the salt from the sea
Now I'm wrecked on the shore far beyond days of yore
and the treasure chest's rusty with age
But we'll still have the moon and the sun and the noon
Where mad dogs and English girls play … ; 0)

I was on the run to get this before the colour faded and was fortunate enough to find some water in a ditch to catch some reflection (and perspective).

One of those shots where if I managed to take two steps to the left the composition would have been perfect, unfortunately I was standing right of the edge of the loch as it was. I think it looks good in black and white to emphasise the mist and contrast with the trees in the distance.
Un monastero millenario incastonato nel mare, nei pressi di Camogli nella baia omonima, luogo detto anche Capodimonte, all'interno del parco terrestre e marino del Monte di Portofino. Un piccolo gioiello che ha una storia molto antica e che è stato generosamente donato al FAI. L'abbazia non è raggiungibile da alcuna arteria stradale, ma vi si può accedere soltanto via mare oppure percorrendo due panoramici sentieri: uno che scende dal soprastante monte di Portofino e l'altro che percorre la costa partendo dalla baia di Portofino. - Abbazia di San Fruttuoso di Capodimonte - Camogli (Genova)

If you want to know a little bit more about me as a Photographer:
this is just one of the incredibly beautiful mountainscapes I had the chance to see after coming back from a hike in the Andes, right at the Argentina-Chile border. The car was moving but the landscape was unique, so I did my best to get it right. no time for tripods nor for second chances, think fast and shoot fast. special thanks to the bus driver whom kindly slowed down a bit to help me out.
