when i downloaded this image from my camera i knew instantly that i needed to convert it to black & white with just a bit of tint. to me i can better appreciate this flower's beautiful form, its graceful lines and subtle textures, without the distraction of colors.
225 days to go before my next trip to the Philippines.
This one is from the same series as my "Entropy" photo.
A glass of water, blue background, stirred the water with a spoon and took a shot. The result is 180 deg. rotated.
Strobist info: Sony F42 camera right, shooting diagonal through blue plastic background. Triggered by camera commander flash.

Tekintsetek az égi madarakra, hogy nem vetnek, nem aratnak, sem csűrbe nem takarnak; és a ti mennyei Atyátok eltartja azokat. Máté 6, 26

It seems so long ago now
That I was sitting here
Taking in everything
Taking in everything
I stopped to look around me
As far as I could see
Across this precious land
Shadows painted by the sun
I don't think I remember
How long I waited here
Watching everything
Watching everything
My thoughts began to wander
Then I realized
Every moment I had lived
Everything that I had seen
Pass like this moment now
Pass like this moment now
Its clear to me as now
Is the moment when I knew
That I can let go
Its time to let it go
With it came the feeling
Strange I'd waited for it
I think all my life
A thousand words brace for it
From my very soul I didn't feel alone.

Lights and shadows in architecture is one of the thing that fI find more fascinating.
I wish to dedicate this shot (a very .. fresh! one - just taken on the way back home from work :-) - to all the photographers who are making my new group - urbanabstractions - a great one! (well, may be I shouldn't say it, but ... I'm so happy about it, so, please, forgive me! ;-D)
Thank you very, very much, and .. keep on posting!
btw - the horizontal line in the shot is an electric string - I was going to remove it, but then I found that somehow it could fit the composition ...
Last, but .. not least!:
what music fits architecture?
this is a very interesting new topic posted by daruma* in urbanabstractions discussions;
he proposed this one:
Zbigniew Preisner - L'Aurore - what is your favourite one?

Il nucleo più antico di Passignano sul Trasimeno è ancora oggi cinto dalle cerchia di mura medioevali che testimoniano in modo significativo lo sviluppo che il centro subì da piccolo borgo agricolo durante l'Impero romano al castello che, dopo la Signoria di Uguccione II nel 917, venne a lungo conteso fra Arezzo, Perugia e Firenze.
Pochi sono gli edifici storici della cittadina a causa delle distruzioni dovute ai bombardamenti della II guerra mondiale, rimangono infatti la quattrocentesca chiesa di San Rocco e quella eretta solo pochi anni più tardi, di San Bernardino. Da Passignano si raggiunge in pochi minuti di battello l'Isola Maggiore, sul Lago Trasimeno.

What is it? It's the No Chance Saloon. It's Bedrock Bar, The End of the Line Cafe, The Bottom of the Sea Rathskeller! Don't you notice the beautiful calm in the atmosphere? That's because it's the last harbor. No one here has to worry about where they're going next, because there is no farther they can go. It's a great comfort to them. Although even here they keep up the appearances of life with a few harmless pipe dreams about their yesterdays and tomorrows, as you'll see for yourself if you're here long.

Dove vai quando poi resti sola
il ricordo come sai non consola
Quando lei se ne andò per esempio
Trasformai la mia casa in tempio
E da allora solo oggi non farnetico più
a guarirmi chi fu
ho paura a dirti che sei tu
Ora noi siamo già più vicini
Io vorrei non vorrei ma se vuoi
Come può uno scoglio
arginare il mare
anche se non voglio
torno già a volare
Le distese azzurre
e le verdi terre
Le discese ardite
e le risalite
su nel cielo aperto
e poi giù il deserto
e poi ancora in alto
con un grande salto
Dove vai quando poi resti sola
senza ali tu lo sai non si vola
Io quel dì mi trovai per esempio
quasi sperso in quel letto così ampio
Stalattiti sul soffitto i miei giorni con lei
io la morte abbracciai
ho paura a dirti che per te
mi svegliai
Oramai fra di noi solo un passo
Io vorrei non vorrei ma se vuoi
Come può uno scoglio
arginare il mare
anche se non voglio
torno già a volare
Le distese azzurre
e le verdi terre
le discese ardite
e le risalite
su nel cielo aperto
e poi giù il deserto
e poi ancora in alto
con un grande salto
hello, everybody. just popping in to let you know i am still here, even if barely. arrived in Manila last Sunday and now enjoying the company of Arnel, aka lenareh and his family. i hope you all are keeping well. i won't be able to visit your streams at the moment as i don't have much time to be online. in fact, i must sign off now to prepare for the next leg of my visit. on to Daet, Camarines Norte, scene of this jump shot.
With the hot summer we all want to escape somewhere quiet and possibly "fresh" ... for me blue of course! This is a beautiful bay protected by the Arrabida mountains (Serra), a natural park very beautiful and full of tranquility (much needed) - I hope you enjoy it and have a great week!

Mandalay - Kuthodaw Pagoda (Myanmar)
Importante complesso religioso soprannominato "Il libro più grande del mondo" perchè intorno allo stupa centrale, il Maha Lawka Marazein Paya ,si trovano 729 lastre di marmo, custodite ognuna dentro un piccolo stupa bianco, sulle quali è stata incisa, su entrambi i lati, una parte del Tipitaka, il testo sacro del Buddismo Theravada. Riunite insieme queste lastre formano in effetti il libro più grande del mondo.
La prima versione completa del Tipitaka venne messa insiema da un team di 2.400 monaci che incisero il testo nelle lastre di marmo durante il V Sinodo Buddista nel 1872.

"Non pretendo che la gioia non possa accompagnarsi alla bellezza; ma dico che la gioia è uno degli ornamenti più volgari, mentre la malinconia è della bellezza, per così dire, la nobile compagna, al punto che non so concepire un tipo di bellezza che non abbia in sé il dolore."

I have literally hundreds of hummingbird images as well as hundreds of flower images. In an effort to try to utilize some of the archived photos taking up my harddrive, I thought I'd try to combine the two.
Through the texture and layer process I used two photos and one texture as shown below.
1. Lupine photo taken this spring at Thomes Creek outside Corning, California
2. aubergine texture from www.flickr.com/photos/alicepopkorn/sets/72157605289948031/
3. Edited Anna's Hummingbird photo.

Please - NO INVITES and AWARDS from now on - Thank you
Do READ the TOP message in BOLD on my profile - it is an important one...
There are really only two conditions of the human mind: Very, very happy. Or about to become very, very happy.
Which are you today?
I'm both,
The Universe
Wishing to all of you a splendid and happy Monday and week ahead from me and - Willem
On this capture I used one of the effects in PS - no other treatments, no cropping. There is also the water mark - signature.
Summer is here again ... the heat is on and the blue sea is ever so inviting - time for the lazy days if possible into the blue! To all of you a Happy Summer, for those who are on holidays have fun and rest. Took this shot because it reminds me of childhood ... same beach, same friends and the lovely blues. Have a great time or week ... above all Enjoy !!

Here you see the "Se de Lisboa" the ancient cathedral of Lisbon, built upon an old Mosque just after Lisbon was conquered from the Moors in the 12th century A.C. by the english crusader Gilbert de Hastings; the title I gave to this photo is because this monument (today a mixture of many styles) has survived 3 earthquakes - even the big one of 1755. This is a typical view of the bright colours of the city and its amazing light, mixing old and new - this unique combination of styles and colours makes Lisbon a most attractive city to visit.
Do enjoy and have a great weekend!
