Tai O
Also known as the "Venice of Hong Kong", Tai O is also a hot tourist spot for both foreigners and residents of other parts of Hong Kong, despite damage by a fire in July 2000. The pang uks, a kind of stilt house, built right over the waterway are still quite scenic. A rope bridge tended by local women used to be quite popular with visitors, but it has been replaced with a steel pedestrian bridge.
The traditional salted fish and shrimp paste and storefronts at Tai O. For a small fee, some residents will take tourists out on their boats along the river and for short jaunts into the sea. Many tourists come to Tai O specifically to take these trips to see Chinese white dolphins. It is also a good place to see the sunset.

"Non avrai altro Dio all'infuori di me" spesso mi hai fatto pensare.
Genti diverse venute dall'Est dicevano che in fondo era uguale:
Credevano ad un altro diverso da te, non mi hanno fatto del male,
credevano ad un altro diverso da te, non mi hanno fatto del male.
Non nominare il nome di Dio, non nominarlo invano.
Con un coltello piantato nel fianco gridai la mia pena ed il suo nome:
ma forse era stanco, forse troppo occupato, non ascoltò il mio dolore;
ma forse era stanco, forse troppo lontano, davvero lo nominai invano.
Onora il padre ed onora la madre, e onora anche il loro bastone:
bacia la mano che ruppe il tuo naso perche' le chiedevi un boccone.
Quando a mio padre si fermò il cuore, non ho provato dolore,
quando a mio padre si fermò il cuore, non ho provato dolore.
Ricorda di santificare le feste, facile per noi ladroni,
entrare nei templi che rigurgitan salmi di schiavi e dei loro padroni,
senza finire legati agli altari sgozzati come animali,
senza finire legati agli altari sgozzati come animali.
Il quinto dice "non devi rubare", e forse io l'ho rispettato
vuotando in silenzio le tasche già gonfie di quelli che avevan rubato:
ma io senza legge rubai in nome mio, quegli altri nel nome di Dio,
ma io senza legge rubai in nome mio, quegli altri nel nome di Dio.
Non commettere atti che non siano puri, cioè non disperdere il seme...
Feconda una donna ogni volta che l'ami così sarai uomo di fede,
poi la voglia svanisce ed il figlio rimane e tanti ne uccide la fame.
Io forse ho confuso il piacere e l'amore ma non ho creato dolore.
Il settimo dice "non ammazzare se del cielo vuoi essere degno":
guardatela oggi questa legge di Dio tre volte inchiodata nel legno.
Guardate la fine di quel Nazzareno, un ladro non muore di meno!
Guardate la fine di quel Nazzareno, un ladro non muore di meno!
Non dire falsa testimonianza ed aiutali ad uccidere un uomo...
Lo sanno a memoria il diritto Divino, ma scordano sempre il perdono.
Ho spergiurato su Dio e sul mio onore e no non ne provo dolore,
ho spergiurato su Dio e sul mio nome e no non ne provo dolore.
Non desiderare la roba degli altri, non desiderarne la sposa...
Ditelo a quelli, chiedetelo ai pochi che hanno una donna e qualcosa...
Nei letti degli altri già caldi d'amore non ho provato dolore.
L'invidia di ieri non è già finita, stasera v'invidio la vita.
Ma adesso che viene la sera ed il buio, mi toglie il dolore dagli occhi.
E scivola il sole al di là delle dune a violentare altre notti:
io nel vedere quest'uomo che muore, madre io provo dolore;
nella pietà che non cede al rancore, madre ho imparato l'amore.
(Fabrizio de Andrè, Il testamento di Tito)

Nous étions partis surtout pour le bain de mer, mais en voyant le ciel rougeoyant on n’a pas pu se retenir de faire quelques photos. Pour info le soleil se trouve hors cadre sur la gauche masqué par une montagne (et sûrement déjà sous l'horizon). Dimanche 24 août 2008 dans l'après-midi, route des plages. (Rémire-Montjoly, Guyane française).

We had left especially for the sea bathing, but seeing the glowing sky we could not retain ourselves to take some photographs. For informations, the sun is out of the frame in the left masked by a mountain (and maybe already below the horizon). Sunday, August 24, 2008 in the afternoon, road of the beaches (Rémire-Montjoly, French Guiana).

Una delle mie preferite. L'espressione femminile islamica. Perdente, sottomessa e infinitamente triste... Direi orgogliosamente disperata.
Da occidentale non posso che "assistere" alla nullità femminile dei paesi islamici, Marocco incluso.
Sono stato in alcune case marocchine, sia di città che di montagna, e nel deserto. E assicuro che le donne non contano nulla. O meglio, non contano nulla umanamente. Per il resto, naturalmente, hanno la loro funzione sociale, materiale e affettiva ma sempre in subordine all'uomo e alla polizia governativa.
Ho visto le donne lavorare nei campi (cioè nel deserto) tornare su camion scoperti ammassate come bestie. Ho visto i bar pieni di uomini e basta. Le donne non possono accedervi. Le donne non possono contrattare soldi. Le donne non possono "scegliere" quasi nulla.
Per quanto il nuovo Re, salito al trono per discendenza diretta nel 1998 (mi pare) sia un occidentalista convinto, i marocchini ad uno stadio, molto più moderno degli altri stati islamici, sono ben lungi da considerare le donne delle "persone" a tutti gli effetti. Certo, col passare degli anni, saliranno fino alla parità. Ma al momento chi parla di parità, esprime un commento decisamente edulcorato. Tuttavia è corretto ritenere il Marocco uno degli stati più avanzati in questo senso e quel conta di più in fortissima crescita economica e civile.
Dopo aver visto coi miei occhi il Marocco, non voglio immaginare cosa siano gli altri stati più integralisti con le donne...

One of the things I love the most about photography is how as a photographer you are in total control to tell a story through the picture. The mood, setting, as well as the feelings the picture portrays are all completely within your control. How you compose and capture a particular scene can tell such a different story from one photograph to another.
This photograph and my previous post linked below are a great example of how by simply changing a few minor elements, I was able to drastically change not only the mood, but the emotion the scene conveys. Both photographs from this location were taken on the same morning. In fact, no more than five minutes separates the two shots. As well the photographs were taken from within ten feet of each other, and yet they convey such different scenes to the viewer.
The composition of my earlier post conveys a sense of order and symmetry. The smoothed out long exposure water adds a sense of calm to the scene. The B&W conversion further adds to the lack of drama and emphasizes a smoothness and flow from front to back. Overall the image conveys that sense of peace throughout.
In comparison the composition of this image conveys a sense of asymmetry and disorder. The motion of the water and waves exploding on the foreground pier adds a sense of danger and excitement. The raw power of the waves building in the ocean amplifies the drama of the scene. Lastly the warmer red and yellow colors on the horizon convey a sense of warmth and energy.
To me, this is the true heart of photography, the ability to capture and convey the emotion of a scene in a manner that it tells a unique story.
I always appreciate your critique on any of my images, as it helps me to improve.

'... there was a time when god was a part of science. newton thought that his research on physics helped clarify god's celestial plan. so did linnaeus, the swedish botanist who devised our current scheme for organizing species. but over centuries of research we have learned that the idea "god did it" has never advanced our understanding of nature an iota, and that is why we abandoned it. in the early 1800s, the french mathematician laplace presented napoleon with a copy of his great five-volume work on the solar system, the mechanique celeste. aware that the books contained no mention of god, napoleon taunted him, "monsieur laplace, they tell me you have written this large book on the system of the universe, and have never even mentioned its creator." laplace answered, famously and brusquely: "je n'avais pas besoin de cette hypothese-la," "i have had no need of that hypothesis." and scientists have not needed it since.'

Nash Point Lighthouse
Position 51° 24'.00 N 03° 33'.05 W
Nash Point Lighthouse
Nash Lighthouse was designed by James Walker, the Engineer-in-Chief to Trinity House, in 1832 to mark the sandbanks off the point at the entrance to the Bristol Channel. The decision to build it followed a public outcry after the passenger steamer FROLIC was wrecked with heavy loss of life in 1830.
Two circular towers were built each with massive walls and a stone gallery. The eastern, or high lighthouse being 37 metres high and the western or low lighthouse 25 metres high. Placed 302 metres apart they provided leading lights to indicate safe passage past the sandbanks. The high light was painted with black and white stripes and the low light was white. In those days both towers showed a fixed light which was either red or white depending on the direction from which a vessel approached. The red sector marked the Nash Sands.
The low light was abandoned early this century and the high light was modernised and painted white. In place of the fixed light a new first order catadioptric lens was installed which gives a white and red group flashing.
Nash is one of those lighthouses scattered around our coast that has no claim to fame. For over 160 years its light has done its job as a sign to mariners to keep them clear of danger, its sole distinction is the discovery in 1977 of the tuberous thistle (Cirsium Tuberosum), a rare plant, which was found growing around the lighthouse.

Introduction
This is a relatively-common butterfly that is unmistakable when seen at rest - the rings on the hindwings giving this butterfly its common name. The uppersides are a uniform chocolate brown that distinguish this butterfly from the closely-related Meadow Brown. Despite this uniformity, a newly-emerged adult is a surprisingly beautiful insect, the velvety wings providing a striking contrast with the delicate white fringes found on the wing edges. The dark colouring also allows this butterfly to quickly warm up - this butterfly being one of the few that flies on overcast days.
Variation in this butterfly is primarily focused on the rings on the hindwings, the lanceolata aberration being particularly striking, where the rings are elongated to form teardrops. Other aberrations occur where the rings are greatly reduced or completely absent. Huggins (1959) also describes a form in Kerry, Ireland, that is of normal size until 600 feet, when it starts to be replaced by a dwarf form that, at 1,000 feet, takes over completely.
This butterfly can be found throughout most of the British Isles, south of a line between the South Ebudes in the west and Banffshire in the east. It is also absent from the western parts of northern England, north-west of the Midlands, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. This butterfly forms discrete colonies where numbers vary from a few dozen to several thousand.
Aphantopus hyperantus
This species was first defined in Linnaeus (1758)
Conservation Status
This is one of the few species that is doing well, with evidence of increases in both distribution and population. It is not, therefore, a priority species for conservation efforts.
Habitat
A variety of habitats is used, although sites characterised as being sheltered and damp are preferred, such as woodland clearings, woodland edges and rides, meadows, hedgerows, road verges and country lanes, where the full heat from the summer sun can be avoided and where the foodplant is lush. The butterfly is not typically found in open areas, such as grassland or heathland.
Life Cycle
There is one generation each year, with adults emerging in the second half of June, peaking in mid-July, with a few individuals continuing into August. The flight period is relatively-short when compared with its close relatives.
Imago
Male and female are almost identical in appearance, although it is just possible to make out the feintest of sex brands on the forewings of the male, which contains special scent scales used in courtship. Males adopt an exclusive strategy of patrolling for mates and are often seen in ones and twos fluttering among the grasses that typify their habitat.
A mated female lays her eggs in a somewhat-chaotic fashion, typically perched on a grass stem and ejecting a single egg at random, often into the air, causing it to land in the vegetation. Both sexes take nectar from a variety of sources, Bramble and Thistle being particular favourites.
Adults feed primarily on Bramble (Rubus fruticosus), Fleabane (Pulicaria dysenterica), Hemp Agrimony (Eupatorium cannabinum), Kidney Vetch (Anthyllis vulneraria), Marjoram (Origanum vulgare), Privet (Ligustrum vulgare), Ragwort (Senecio jacobaea) and Thistles (Cirsium spp. and Carduus spp.).
Ovum
Eggs are a pale yellow when first laid, but soon turn a pale brown. The stage lasts between 2 and 3 weeks.
Larva
The larva is nocturnal and hides by day at the base of a grass tussock, emerging at night to feed on the tenderest parts of the foodplant. The larva hibernates while in the 3rd instar, but will feed on particularly warm evenings during the winter. Regular feeding resumes in the spring when the larvae can be found by torchlight feeding on grass stems, although they will fall to the ground with the slightest disturbance. There are 4 moults in total.
The primary larval foodplants are Cock's-foot (Dactylis glomerata), Common Couch (Elytrigia repens), False Brome (Brachypodium sylvaticum), Meadow-grasses (various) (Poa spp.) and Tufted Hair-grass (Deschampsia cespitosa).
Pupa
The pupa is formed in a flimsy cocoon, comprising just a few strands of silk, at the base of a grass tussock. This stage lasts around 2 weeks.

One of the rollerbladers last night in the Grand Palais, doing a grind on a metallic railing . No special effects here, this is straight out of the camera :-)
If you look closely (easier with large size), you can see the 2 dark silhouettes of the skater still jumping onto the rail a moment before, and sliding a moment after. I'm not sure what caused this, might be a combination of my own flash and someone's else on the other side I think ?

♫ "Island Blues " ♫
The Cathedral-Basilica of Cefalù, (Italian: Duomo di Cefalù) is a Roman Catholic church in Cefalù, Sicily, southern Italy.
The cathedral, dating from 1131, was commenced in the Norman style, the island of Sicily having been conquered by the Normans in 1091. According to tradition, the building was erected after a vow made to the Holy Saviour by the King of Sicily, Roger II, after he escaped from a storm to land on the city's beach. The fortress-like character of the building, which, seen from a distance, rises as a huge bulk above its medieval town, may in part reflect the vulnerability of the site to attack from the sea. It also made a powerful statement of the Norman presence.
Numerous changes were made over succeeding centuries and the edifice was never entirely completed.
The flat hill in the distance is a marvelous formation that can be recognised from miles away. Just to the south of it is located the historic 77 ranch first owned by Peck and Converse. Mike Shonsey of the Johnson County Range War was employed by the 77 ranch. www.wheeler-roots.org/histories/history-shonsey.php
In his book,The long trail from Texas, Ad Spaugh talks of burying a couple children who live with thier mother in a cabin east of Flat Top that took sick and died. They were buried on a pine knoll nearby Flat Top by a crew of sad cowboys.
My Grandmother who knew Ad and sadly recalled visiting with him about the burial. She told me of it before I had ever read the book many years later. Exciting and hard times...

Most Spanish windmills, like those described in Cervantes' Don Quixote can be found in the province of La Mancha in central Spain. The best examples of restored Spanish windmills may be found in Consuegra where several mills spike the hill just outside of town, providing a spectacular view of the 12th century castle and of the town. The castle was once a stronghold when Consuegra was the seat and priory of the Knights of San Juan--the Spanish branch of the Knight's Hospitallers of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem. Windmills are also located in Mota del Cuervo, Tomelloso, and Campo de Criptana.

Taro fields of Kauai, the largest in the US. Taro has been a staple for the Hawaiians like potatoes are to us. It’s a starchy plant that the root is used to make poi. I tried it once, I don’t think I need any more. Not that is has a bad taste, actually there isn’t a strong taste, just didn’t care for it.
I ignored the no trespassing sign and turned off the highway on to this lane to get the shot. My plan if I got challenged was to say I was just turning around.
This was taken just outside the little town of Hanalei .... the PERFECT spot to retire in a tropical environment!!! … just my opinion.

Castell de Montornés, Desert de les Palmes, Benicàssim (Castelló de la plana)
El castillo de Montornés, situado en el término municipal de Benicàssim en la provincia de Castelló es una fortaleza de origen árabe del siglo X construida sobre restos de origen romano, que se sitúa sobre una escarpada cima en la sierra del Desert de les Palmes, a 4 kilómetros de la población y a una altura de 500 m en situación estratégica para la defensa de la zona, dominando un gran espacio marítimo entre las desembocaduras del Coves y del Mijares.
Esta fortaleza forma un triángulo con la torre San Vicente y con la casoleta de Salandó, que probablemente tuvieron la función de reforzar su defensa.
Se trata de un castillo montano de planta irregular, con tres recintos amurallados.
Cuenta con dos torres, una de ellas de planta cuadrangular que domina el valle de Miravet y la otra cilíndrica sobre el acantilado situado a espaldas del castillo.
Del primer recinto solo se conservan los lienzos oriental y meridional con algunos arranques de torres y del segundo recinto solo son visibles los cimientos de murallas y un aljibe al interior.
Del recinto interior se conserva varios lienzos en ángulo, situándose en este otro aljibe.
Los terrenos sobre los que se sitúa el Castillo fueron poblados desde la edad de Bronce, y posteriormente en la época de las ocupaciones romana y musulmana.
A finales del siglo XI perteneció a Pedro I el Grande, pero con la presencia almorávide y la muerte del Cid en 1099 las posesiones de Pedro I se ven seriamente amenazadas, siendo conquistado por los almorávides en 1103 y pasando definitivamente a dominios cristianos en 1234. Es abandonado en el siglo XVII.

Star Wars The Clone Wars means so much to me. It defined so much of my childhood all the way into my teenage years, and even now it still impacts me. Then you also have Rebels, it never ends haha :P
I'll currently rewatching Star Wars the Clone wars in canon order and am close to finishing Season 5. Still such incredible content! As I've been going I've been jotting down ideas from episodes I want to build, and this was one of the first on the list. This is of course from the Episode Jedi Crash. I have lots more planned (and currently have 2 others built) So get hyped. But yeah you know, exciting! There'll be MOC's from Seasons 1 through to 5 and most likely even the Lost Missions too.
I know I've watched Seasons 1 and 2 more time then I can remember, and this episode was always a very enjoyable one for me. Not my favourite by any means, but very enjoyable!

NOTE: Ranked #176 in interestingness (on 2007-10-11). Thanx to everyone for their support!!
NOTE 2: I know that I seem like an HDR freak (which I AM), but this is NOT HDR btw...!! It's mere playing around with RAW format
While cruising doing some mashaweer, I stopped by to take this long shot (30 seconds exposure).
I hanged my Gorillapod SLR on the metal fence and did my thing. Using this toy turns anything (repeat: anything) as a tripod!! A true life saver.
Seconds later, I was surrounded with some low ranked policemen (3asaker). But I was smart. Before going there and while I was parking the car a few meters away, there was a soll (a higher ranked policeman) that I asked for his permission because of the sensitivity of the location (it's near our presidents home in Heliopolis and I knew they would notice me) and he said "etfadal ya basha" (I am starting to love this sentence)
I merged 2x30 secs exposured RAW images to give more light on the right hand side (the traffic was moving much slower compared to the left side) then took it to my good old Lightroom to treat the colors in an appealing way.
Hope you like it.

Hace 1 año aproximadamente escribí un cuento llamado "La Princesa Dormida", me lo pase en grande escribiéndolo porque lo viví con intensidad. El narrador forma parte del cuento y escribe su relato concentrado sobre una antigua Olivetti M40 de los años 30's.
Al documentarme sobre esta maquina se despertó mi interés por ella, hasta tal punto que compre una en perfecto estado. Es una preciosidad, además fue toda una experiencia volver a usar una maquina de escribir manual así como para mis hijos que nunca habían visto ni usado ninguna.

AHH. It's winter. I did not expect it to come this quickly! It's been so cold, so I'm hiding in scarves, and Skyrim. It's crazy, I went outside to take a picture, and had to run inside and get a scarf and warmer jacket.
This happened.
My hair is also a really light blue, now, I loove it! I might try to put a baby-blue dye over it, though. :3
Also, the texture I put over it was a picture of sparkling snow, that I took when it snowed for two weeks last winter~ <3
Also, Kaskade's album "Fire & Ice" is amazing. So, listen to this.
He was standing on the side walk a few feet away from the busy cross section. He stood still with his eyes closed and he would smile at times. I couldn't help but jump to the conclusion that he probably is daydreaming. Maybe he was dreaming of a different life, different place, or different situation. Whatever he was dreaming about he was definitely happy. I could not help but smile when he smiled, his smile was full of joy and happiness. I was truly happy for him that even for a couple of minutes he was able to go into his own world and escape reality.

This is the longest of 3 canal tunnels. It is around 1 km and does not have a footpath - so this girl looking. I was told that you can see the other end. But i was on the wrong side. Also it happened that the majority of this walk were shoot by 50 mm which is not ideal for scenery.
Also i am amazed how little information about the Regent canal is available around - i mean history, pictures, walking guides, current development. I've seen only 1 book on Amazon. It goes through such a vibrant number of areas. And it has been there since 1820.
I found that much however about Islington tunnel
