“... Usava bombacha larga
e um chapéu de metro e meio,
laçava de toda trança,
pealava boi sem costeio,
usava botas de potro,
pechava touro no meio,
riscava lombo com a espora,
sacando boi campo afora
só na barbela do freio ...”

The Bab Boujeloud is one of the gates to Fes el Bali
Fes el Bali (Arabic: فاس البالي) (English: Old Fes) is the oldest walled part of Fes, Morocco. Fes el Bali was originally founded as the capital of the Idrisid dynasty between 789 and 808 AD. Besides being famous for having the oldest university in the world Fes el Bali, with a total population of 156 000, is also believed to be the biggest car-free urban area in the world.
UNESCO listed Fes el Bali as a world heritage site in 1981 under the name Medina of Fez. The world heritage site includes Fes el Bali's urban fabric and walls as well as a buffer zone outside of the walls that is intended to preserve the visual integrity of the location.
Fes el Bali is, along with Fes Jdid and the French-created Ville nouvelle, one out the 3 main districts in Fes.

The first of the shots from my holiday down to Cornwall and probably the one of the hardest shots to expose I've ever taken.
This was taken just outside Polzeath, facing towards Pentire Point. The sun was just out of frame on the left hand side and low down (I was on my way to the cliffs for sunset) and was backed by a strong onshore wind which was blowing the sea spray up the gullies of the cliffs, allowing them to be highlighted by the low sun passing through them. Exposing to get even some detail in the cliff without blowing the sky was a nightmare and this was the best I could manage.
I'm sure there's a lot more to be had out of this image but my post processing skills aren't up to the task yet!

This is what this old Florida Country boy calls Paradise!
I spent many days of my youth tromping through woods just like these and on occasion had been known to stop and rest under old oak trees just like these. I have also been known to fall asleep only to awake with squirrels sitting on my outstretched legs and wild hogs rooting not more that 15 to 20 feet from me!
I still love it. I just can't sit on the ground under the trees like I used to do, so I take a chair with me now! Also very seldom wore any shoes back then. Can't get away with that now either. Okay, I will kick them off once I get settled in.
Did not have an "I" phone or any other electronic wonder to take with me! What in the world did I do. I listened and I looked and saw, really heard and saw everything it seemed like. The woods were alive and so was I. I could run like the wind, jump like a deer (clear a Bobbed wire fence) and never loose a stride. Could climb a tree like a Bear. Wait , wait maybe that was Davie Crockett. Oh what the heck you know what I mean! Come to think of it I could use a nap right about now! Think I will find my recliner, who knows if I am lucky I will dream of these woods, the squirrels, hogs and the bears, and that Big Old Oak Trees filled with Spanish moss! If I am real lucky I will see that pretty blonde headed young lady that I fell in love with back then and made her my partner for life. She has spent many a year now, 49 going on 50, tromping right along beside me. Come to think of it maybe she is the reason I call it paradise.
What do you think?
This photo was taken at Three Lakes Wildlife Management Area in Osceola, County, Florida.

Best on black or viewed in large 1600 :)
So much beauty was placed in this world (even in winter when the earth sleeps and seems a bit drab), just so God could have the pleasure of seeing us smile.....
Thank you all so much for taking a moment to view my photo!! I hope that you all have a very blessed weekend :)

Side is a beautiful coastal resort on the Mediterranean. It is approximately 75kms east of Antalya (one of Turkey`s largest cities) and is located on a small peninsula only 800m in length. In this pretty town, modern architecture, chic shops and late night bars stand in juxtaposition with the ruins of an ancient city. Flanked by two stretches of golden beach, surrounded by the sparkling waters of Mediterranean on both sides and bestowed with the endless archeological wonders. Side's natural geography made it the most important place in Pamphylia from the Mediterranean to Mount Taurus.
The ruins of the Apollo Temple are located near to the harbour of Side. The temple ruins are dedicated to Apollo, god of light, art and beauty. It was built during the Roman Civilization and looks over the ancient port. The temple of Apollo is also surrounded by other important ruins that date back to 7th century B.C. Side was one of the main cities of the ancient region known as Pamphylia that later became Antalya.

Sometimes magic happens...
Being in the moment is what we all love about 'photography' or any other hobby and this is when magic can happen and it did on this day.
After searching for woodpeckers and walking about 4 miles, on our last adventure for the day we ended up at the Albany mudflats. We got there at high tide, and I being pretty tired decided I wanted to sit on the point and watch the tide go down...that's when the magic happened. As the tide receded, a couple flocks of peeps kept flying by wanting to land on the little strip of mud that was being exposed...right at our feet! They would land, see us and take off until enough mud was exposed that they landed and settled. We all, meaning Kim (K.Mentzel), my best friend Marty, & Kims friend Rick and myself held our breaths and slowly raised our cameras and started clicking away. For me this was a 'magic moment'
We saw, but we didn't get the woodpeckers, but watching the tide go out and all the birds come in made this a very special day!

A wide angle, or landscape orientation, capture of a setting one May morning in Yosemite National Park. While there was contrasts with the sunlight and shadowed areas of the image, I also worked to bring out those little tonal contrasts on the rock face and peaks as well as the trees and leaves.
The Tricolored Heron, formerly known as the Louisiana
Heron, is a slim, medium-sized heron. It is dark slate-blue
on its head and upper body and has a purplish chest. It
nests north along the Atlantic coast to Massachusetts and
westward in coastal lowlands around the Gulf of Mexico
and Caribbean, including the West Indies, to northern
Brazil. It also nests between central Baja California and
Ecuador on the Pacific coast.
Found this one nesting at Gatorland in May of last year!

Slowly but sure where pushing towards Caen, unfortunately Jerry doesn't feel like running away just yet and we have to fight hard for every inch of ground.
Here at the back of the front line its pretty quite and we don't have to worry to much, our biggest fear is a mortar attack for the rest we have it easy compared to the front line. We can hear the noise of fighting in the distance, in between the moments, when we fire our rounds.

Yes yes, nother summer one.
I really like how the colors came out :D
I've also realized I like photographing flowers & stuff. haha.

Well, to be honest, this has been sitting around for about a month now, but I finally decided to take some photos of it, and since the weather was nice, they're outside in the bootiful greenery.
But yeah, shocking I know? I actually posted something?

This one made #1 on Explore on 14th of November 2006. It's my first photo ever to make the top spot. Whee! :).

Maras is a little town in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, 45 km outside of Cusco. It is well known for its nearby salt evaporation ponds, the Salinas de Maras, located at an elevation of 3,380 m. Since pre-Inca times, salt has been obtained in Maras by evaporating salty water from a local subterranean stream. The highly salty water emerges at a spring, a natural outlet of the underground stream. The flow is directed into an intricate system of tiny channels constructed so that the water runs gradually down onto the several hundred ancient terraced ponds.
Die peruanische Gemeinde Maras liegt etwa 45 km von Cusco entfernt in der Provinz und Region Cusco. Sie ist Teil des Heiligen Tals der Inkas. Eine salzhaltige Quelle speist die in einer Höhe von 3380 Metern terrassenartig angelegten Salzpfannen, wo durch die sukzessive Verdunstung der natürlichen Sole in der Sonne Salz gewonnen wird.
A marsh grows in the pool outside the gym at the long abandoned Air Force base on the mountain above San Jose, CA. Mysterious animals were splashing and rustling around in the pool.

I just received my Canon EF 40mm 2.8 STM from Amazon today, so I had to test it out. Spring is here so I went outside to test out the lens, in the course of it I found this moss in the backyard growing between the bricks next to the fire pit. I had to lay almost completely flat on the ground for this angle but it was worth it.
Mike Olbinski and I went out monsoon chasing and saw this scene going on and had to pull over and shoot it. The sunsets in Arizona are nothing short of stunning. The monsoon clouds help a bit at adding interest, but even if they were not present, the colors and depth of sky are utterly phenomenal.
Though I mapped this here, I really have no idea where I was when we shot this. Mike, can you help out with this one? This was right next to the McDonalds if I remember correctly.
The Obersee is an artificial lake outside the city of Bielefeld in East Westphalia. The local folks love the place and especially throughout weekends it is great fun to have a walk around the water. We used the perfect sunshine to enjoy November pleasures.
This was taken on Holyhead Island, Anglesey. This is an amazing place with stunning views and fond memories. Thank you for looking...

Florida designated the mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos) as the official state bird in 1927. The Mockingbird is very famous. It even had a song written about it. "Listen To The Mockingbird" by Richard Milburn in 1855.
Full of personality, the mockingbird earns its name mimicking other birds, insects, animals and even human noises – like a car alarm! A male can learn up to 200 songs during its life, but the females rarely sing.
If you do find a female singing, notice that it is much softer than the male. Mockingbirds are quite common throughout the state and found in almost every habitat, including towns, suburbs, backyards, parks, forest edges and open land at low elevations. Mockingbirds eat mainly insects in the summer. During the fall and winter months they switch to mostly fruit and have been observed drinking sap from the cuts on recently pruned trees.
Many Floridians have experienced the wrath of the mockingbird defending its nest. Fiercely territorial, male mockingbirds have been known to recognize individual humans and will selectively attack them while ignoring other humans who pass by. Although we rarely intend to disturb nests, this behavior is not completely in vain. In southern Florida it has been noted that the strength of attacks against potential predators is directly associated with nesting success
The northern mockingbird is also the state bird of Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee and Mississippi.
I found this one at Joe Overstreet Landing in Osceola County, Florida.

One older Picture Outside of Aachen, Germany
I faded the Colors a bit and blurred them too, better seen LARGE
Loggerhead Shrikes are found only in North America. They breed in open country, including grasslands and shrub-steppe areas, where there are scattered trees, tall shrubs, fence posts, utility wires, or other lookout posts. They tend to nest in northeast- or southeast-facing ravines. Loggerhead Shrikes prefer more open country than that preferred by Northern Shrikes.
The Loggerhead Shrike is most well known for its innovative use of barbed-wire and chain-link fences to impale its prey to cache for later. It is also called butcherbird or French Mockingbird.
Decline in population over the past years is not well understood, but may be due to decreased winter survivability and vehicle collisions, particularly involving juvenile birds. They are listed endangered in Maryland and Virginia and a species of special concern (SSC) in West Virginia. They are only still relatively common in Florida.
The San Clemente Loggerhead Shrike subspecies has been listed as endangered since 1977, with population numbers reaching as low as 14 individuals. Currently there are captive breeding and release programs in use to help increase their numbers.
I found this one along Joe Oerstreet Road with what I think is a Mole Cricket.
Osceola County, Florida.
It is five below zero outside today and two more snowstorms are coming our way. In two days it will be March and maybe things will warm up a bit. In spite of this, there are are a lot of interesting photo opps out there---regardless of the cold. I knew about this neighbors old truck that was parked out behind their barn for years and was waiting for the right conditions to make an image. The falling wet snow made the moment.
I used my Pentax K5, Pentax 18-135mm lens, Aperture 3, and Topaz to make this image.
