All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
All of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
They don't know who I really am
And they don't know what
I've been through like you do
It's true...I was made for you
I will be leaving to visit a relative of mine this coming weekend. Will be back by end of next week. See you around in your photostreams =)
Playa of Tengradin, Noja, Cantabria, Spain 25th October 2012
I took a very peculiar shot of the beautiful Beach of Tengradin, Noja. It was not long before dawn and that particular light made me feel I was in a different planet, which is why I chose a photoshoped accentuated post with long closed shades and an electric blue that accentuated the "alien" feeling.

Playa di Tengradin, Noja, Cantabria, Spagna 25/10/2012
Scatto molto particolare della bellissima Playa di Tengradin di Noja, mancava ancora un po' prima del sorgere del sole e la luce particolare mi ha proprio dato la sensazione di essere su un altro pianeta, per questo motivo ho deciso per una post un po' spinta con le ombre parecchio chiuse e un blu elettrico che accentuasse la sensazione "aliena".

Backstory:
At an early age, Jack Lightning developed an ecentric taste for jazz tunes, historical fiction and treasure. He spends his days traveling to ever more remote locations in search of adventure. Most recently, after uncovering the hidden clues to an obscure tomb within the passages of a latest bestselling novel he found himself up against his most vile threat yet - Walter the Devourer.
Placed in the ancient tomb as a kitten, long before the world of mice & men even knew about such a place, Walter the Devourer was granted immortality in exchange for his servitude. He took his role seriously, over time growing to monstrous proportions to defend the tomb.
Just whose tomb is it? And who placed Walter within? But perhaps the most important question - will Jack Lightning make it out alive or suffer the fate of all the other tomb raiders who came before him?

Birmania centrale - Villaggio di Bo De Ta Htaung, vicino a Monywa.
All'nterno di questo Buddha di 10 piani, si sta allestendo un museo della storia della civiltà orientale da Angkor in poi..
In alcune sale sono riprodotti degli affreschi terrificanti di cui non ho capito bene il significato poichè le didascalie erano unicamente in lingua birmana ma che ho interpretato come una sorta di Inferno Buddista che farebbe impallidire persinio Dante.

Grand Teton National Park at Oxbow Bend, along the Snake River.
People ask me why or when do you shoot a scene in the 'landscape' orientation (horizontal) or in the 'portrait' orientation (vertical). I discuss this in detail in one of my free landscape articles--see below. Most landscape shots are framed horizontally, because that fits best with the scene. The choice for the serious nature photographer is more complex. The first decision you must make is, what is the end purpose of the shot? A calendar image is almost always shot horizontally. A magazine cover is shot vertically. For this shot, I did both. Follow the link below to see the horizontal image of this scene.
www.flickr.com/photos/wwwca/3669960447/
From looking at the two images of the same scene shot seconds apart, you can see how different they are. One encompasses the entire scene--the forest, the river, the snow-capped Teton mountains and the ducks are very small. It is a 'grand' scene. The shot above, the vertical one, 'zooms in' and focuses on Mt Moran and its reflection on the Snake River. Here the ducks are more of an important part of the scene--a secondary compositional element.
When I approach a scene like this, I try to always shoot it both ways and then process them to get the best out of the shot. If Outdoor Photographer magazine ever wants a magazine cover of Oxbow Bend, I have it. ;>) Please feel free to call!
Also note the 'placement' of the ducks in the version above. Now as a nature photographer, I did not swim out into the Snake River and 'place' the four ducks. As the patient nature photographer, I waited for the duck to place themselves for this shot. While my photography partner James Neeley was making his way along the river's shore taking many great images, I was setup on my tripod and just waiting for the ducks to swim into place. Then I snapped away, horizontally and vertically. One of the most important things I like to teach about nature photography is the 'art of waiting'. James Neeley, Jeff Sullivan, Kevin McNeal and I will be teaching a landscape and nature photography workshop here next June.

El Benicadell és el pic més alt (1.104m) de la serra del mateix nom. Es tracta d'una autèntica paret muntanyosa que separa les comarques valencianes de la Vall d'Albaida i del Comtat. Amb una direcció bètica (concretament del Prebètic extern) de nordest a sudoest, el característic pic de Benicadell té forma de cresteria rocallosa de litologia calcària que li dona una singularitat al paisatge.
La serra del Benicadell fou declarat Paisatge Protegit pel Consell de la Generalitat Valenciana en dues fases. En un primer lloc la solana o cara sud i més recentment l'ombria o cara nord.
L'interés d'aquest paratge rau en el paisatge d'erosió càrstica produïda pels agents atmosfèrics, originant nombroses coves, avencs, fondalades i enderrossalls. Però és de destacar la formació d'una llacuna endorraica al terme de Gaianes, coneguda com Albufera de Gaianes. La Ombria és molt més humit que no pas la Solana, amb una vegetació més exuberant, i destaca per la presència de brolladors i fonts.
La presència humana es considera com a factor clau en l'estructura del paisatge. Així cal mencionar els importants jaciments arqueològics que es troben a les diferents coves del paratge (Coveta del Mig, el Sercat, Cova del Moro o Cova del Mig), les diferents torres i castells de l'Edat Mitjana (Castell de Carbonera, Castell de Penya Cadiella o el Castell de Carrícola) o les magnífiques neveres d'elevat valor etnològic (nevera de Benicadell, de Dalt, de Baix, de la Lloma Solaneta, de Xamarra i del Corral de Diego).
ESP:
La sierra de Benicadell se extiende a lo largo de unos veinticinco kilómetros en dirección nordeste- sudoeste, separando las comarcas de la Vall d’Albaida (perteneciente a la provincia de València), por el norte, y del Comtat (correspondiente a la provincia de Alacant), por el sur. Su núcleo principal está adscrito a los términos municipales de Atzeneta d’Albaida, Beniatjar, Carrícola, Albaida y Salem, en lo que afecta a la provincia de València, y a Muro de Alcoy, Gaianes, Beniarrés y l’Orxa, en lo relativo a la provincia de Alicante. Por el este, la sierra de Benicadell finaliza en los barrancos por los que discurre el río Serpis que, procedente de la Sierra Mariola, de las tierras alcoianas, del embalse de Beniarrés y de l’Orxa, se dirige por el imponente “Estret de l’Infern” hacia Villalonga y Gandia, en donde desemboca en el Mediterráneo. Por el oeste, la sierra de Benicadell concluye en el Port d’Albaida (620 metros de altitud), por donde pasa desde hace muchos siglos la principal vía de comunicación entre València y Alacant por el interior, o lo que es lo mismo, por Xàtiva, Albaida, Muro de Alcoi, Cocentaina y Alcoi. La sierra de Agullent (que comienza en el antedicho puerto de Albaida) es una prolongación natural de la sierra de Benicadell, y se extiende unos doce kilómetros hacia el oeste, delimitando también las provincias de Alacant (Muro de Alcoi y Agres) y de València (Albaida, Agullent, Bocairent y Ontinyent), finalizando en el “Pou Clar”, en Ontinyent.

Música Nocturna de Madrid - Boccherini
Entre 1617 y 1619 el maestro de obras Juan Gómez de Mora proyectó y dirigió las obras del cerramiento rectangular de la Plaza Mayor y las trazas de su caserío, consiguiendo un espacio de representación adecuado para el Madrid cortesano de Felipe III.
Estas obras afectaron a parte del caserío de las manzanas de casas de los alrededores de la plaza, como a la manzana número 168 que cierra la plaza Mayor por su lado oeste y forma actualmente los números impares de la Cava de San Miguel. Para compensar el gran desnivel de esta manzana hubo que remodelar casi la totalidad de su caserío, construyéndose los sótanos que dan a la plaza y las plantas bajas que dan a la cava con una superposición de pisos abovedados. A su vez, dicho desnivel obligó a incrementar la altura de los edificios en tres plantas más, alcanzando una altura total de ocho plantas, algo sorprendente para las edificaciones de la época.
A raíz del incendio que sufrió la plaza Mayor en 1790, que arrasó la tercera parte del caserío, el arquitecto Juan de Villanueva se encargó de su reconstrucción consiguiendo una nueva relación de integración entre la plaza y su espacio circundante, al quedar completamente cerrada y nivelada en altura. La altura del caserío, que afectó a las casas de la manzana de la Cava de San Miguel, perdió dos plantas pues todo el conjunto debía tener la misma altura que la Casa de la Panadería.
La construcción de este arco esta relacionada con la reconstrucción y el cierre de la antigua Plaza Mayor por el arquitecto Juan de Villanueva, después del incendio ocurrido en el verano de 1790. Con esta reforma, la antigua plaza que construyera Juan Gómez de Mora, entre 1617 y 1619, no perdió su configuración rectangular, pero por medio de un sistema de arcadas se consiguió cerrar este recinto urbano y se rebajó la altura del caserío para homogeneizarlo con la que tenía la Casa de la Panadería, que se salvo de las llamas.
Una de estas arcadas, la que daba acceso a la plaza por el extremo sur occidental, es el Arco de Cuchilleros, llamado así porque en el caserío de sus alrededores, a la entrada y a ambos lados de la escalinata que lo precede, estuvieron ubicados los talleres del gremio de cuchilleros y espaderos, pues tenían como una de sus finalidades suministrar sus productos a las carnicerías establecidas en la Plaza Mayor.
La singularidad de este lugar se acrecienta con las trazas de las edificaciones aledañas, construidas la mayoría de ellas en el siglo XVII con el característico zócalo en piedra berroqueña, los lienzos de la fachada con gruesos muros de ladrillos y los huecos de las ventanas engalanados con rejerías y balconadas de hierro forjado.
Sorprende mucho al espectador los seis pisos de altura de algunas de estas edificaciones, pero más sorprendería si todavía se conservaran las ocho plantas con que originalmente se construyeron y que fueron rebajadas tras la reforma de Villanueva. Esta excepcional altura se debe al desnivel que existe entre la plaza y la Cava de San Miguel.
El Arco de Cuchilleros, llamado así porque en el caserío de sus alrededores, a la entrada y a ambos lados de la escalinata que lo precede, estuvieron ubicados los talleres del gremio de cuchilleros y espaderos, pues tenían como una de sus finalidades suministrar sus productos a las carnicerías establecidas en la Plaza Mayor.
Otro de los aspectos que convierten a este lugar en uno de los cuadros más pintorescos de la ciudad son sus concurridos mesones, herencia de los bodegones, tabernas y hosterías del antiguo Madrid.

What is pretty is beautiful in a delicate or graceful way.
So many beauties in this appealing world
The true beauty lies in the beholder's eyes
There is beauty in the child's innocence and in mother's love
There is beauty in a friend's affection and in a tender heart
There is beauty in a pretty smile and caring eyes
There is beauty in the morning sun and a rainy day
There is beauty in the flaky slow and a pleasant spring
There is beauty in the milky moon and the graceful rivers
There is beauty in a hard earned victory and a hopeful soul
There is beauty in me and beauty in you
So many beauties in this spectacular world and its dazzling life
And the true beauty lies in the beholder's eyes

Part of Régimes Spéciaux (Recommended as a slideshow)
En la Banyoles medieval, bien pronto se vio la necesidad de construir una nueva iglesia en un lugar fuera del monasterio benedictino de San Esteban. Desde antes de la colonización benedictina, ya hay noticia de la existencia de una capilla dedicada a San Benito y que estaría cerca de la actual iglesia y de la actual calle de Sant Benet.
Seguramente, el primer templo de Santa María de los Turers se habría edificado durante la segunda mitad del siglo X. Este hecho también se vería confirmado por el hallazgo de la planta del ábside en la década de los cuarenta del siglo XX. Fue edificada en tiempo del abad Benito y nació como iglesia filial de la de San Esteban del monasterio benedictino. Ya se encuentra documentada en el año 1017 y se trataba de una pequeña iglesia de estilo románico.
La iglesia se situó en un lugar elevado, en un cerro, y de aquí deriva probablemente el nombre de Turers (turario). Antes, pero, ya había existido una antigua pequeña iglesia edificada entre los siglos IX-X.
Every trip has its highlight in Lisbon it was visiting the monastery of Jeronimos in the suburb of Belem. I have never seen such delicate stonework both the church and its cloisters are quite remarkable. Took the shot hand held no tripod
A bit from the guidebook
The monastery is one of the most prominent monuments of the Manueline-style architecture (Portuguese late-Gothic) in Lisbon, classified in 1983 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, along with the nearby Tower of Belém. The construction of the monastery and church began on 6 January 1501 (and were completed 100 years later). King Manuel originally funded the project with money obtained from the Vintena da Pimenta, a 5% tax on commerce from Africa and the Orient, equivalent to 70 kilograms (150 lb) of gold per year, with the exception of pepper, cinnamon and cloves (which went directly to the Crown. With the influx of riches, the architects were not limited to small plans, and resources already prescribed for the Monastery of Batalha were redirected to the project in Belém.
Manuel I selected the religious order of Hieronymite monks to occupy the monastery, whose role it was to pray for the King's eternal soul and to provide spiritual assistance to navigators and sailors who departed from the beach of Restelo to discover the world.
The monastery was designed in a style that later became known as Manueline: a richly ornate architectural design that includes complex sculptural themes incorporating maritime elements and objects discovered during naval expeditions, carved in limestone. Diogo de Boitaca,[ the architect, pioneered this style in the Monastery of Jesus in Setúbal. On this project Boitaca was responsible for the plans and contracting work on the monastery, the sacristy, and the refectory. He used calcário de lioz, a local gold-coloured limestone, that was quarried from Ajuda, the valley of Alcántara, Laveiras, Rio Seco and Tercena, for its construction. Boitaca was succeeded by the Spaniard Juan de Castilho, who took charge of construction around 1517. Castilho gradually moved from the Manueline to the Spanish Plateresque style, an ornamentation that included lavish decorations that recall silverware (Spanish: plata). The construction came to a halt when the King Manuel I died in 1521.

Dans ses premiers jours d'existence, la chenille du Machaon s'observe aisément parmi les tiges de carotte ou de fenouil comme ici grâce à sa couleur noire et rouge qui tranche avec le vert de son environnement. Mais la tâche blanche sur son dos lui donne l'aspect d'une fiente. Parade ingénieuse vis-à-vis des éventuels prédateurs que sont les oiseaux, car aux yeux de ceux-ci, elle devient alors sans intérêt.

Happy gothic sunday my friends! Thanks for the visits, comments, notes and faves!!!
Pls don't post here any group invite, glitter text or stuff like that.
El Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia (en catalán Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família), conocido simplemente como la Sagrada Familia (Sagrada Família), es un gran templo católico de Barcelona (España), diseñado por el arquitecto español Antoni Gaudí. Iniciado en 1882, todavía está en construcción (enero de 2010). Es la obra maestra de Gaudí, y el máximo exponente de la arquitectura modernista catalana.
La construcción comenzó en estilo neogótico, pero, al asumir el proyecto Gaudí en 1883, fue completamente replanteado. Según su proceder habitual, a partir de bocetos generales del edificio improvisó la construcción a medida que avanzaba. Se hizo cargo con sólo 31 años, dedicándole el resto de su vida, los últimos quince en exclusiva.
Una de sus ideas más innovadoras fue el diseño de las elevadas torres cónicas circulares que sobresalen apuntadas sobre los portales, estrechándose con la altura. Las proyectó con una torsión parabólica dando una tendencia ascendente a toda la fachada, favorecida por multitud de ventanas que perforan la torre siguiendo formas espirales.[1]
El templo, cuando esté terminado, dispondrá de 18 torres: cuatro en cada una de las tres entradas-portales y, a modo de cúpulas, se dispondrá un sistema de seis torres, con la torre cimborio central, dedicada a Jesús, de 170 metros de altura, otras cuatro alrededor de ésta, dedicadas a los evangelistas, y un segundo cimborio dedicado a la Virgen. El interior estará formado por innovadoras columnas arborescentes inclinadas y bóvedas basadas en hiperboloides y paraboloides buscando la forma óptima de la catenaria.
En 1926 murió Gaudí; sólo se había construido una torre. Del proyecto del edificio sólo se conservaban planos y un modelo en yeso que resultó muy dañado durante la Guerra Civil española.[2] Desde entonces han proseguido las obras: actualmente están terminados los portales del Nacimiento y de la Pasión, y se ha iniciado el de la Gloria, y están en ejecución las bóvedas interiores. La obra que realizó Gaudí, es decir, la fachada del Nacimiento y la cripta, ha sido incluida por la Unesco en el año 2005 en el Sitio del Patrimonio mundial «Obras de Antoni Gaudí».

El Santuari de Santa Maria Magdalena.
Aquest edifici religiós va estar construït a partir d'un projecte que va traçar l'enginyer novelder Josep Sala Sala que impregnant així el seu projecte de l'estil modernista català. Aquest santuari recorda al Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família. La seua construcció, començada en 1918, va necessitar de tres fases, per donar per acabada l'obra en 1946. A la façana principal destaquen dues torres laterals de 25 m. d'alçada culminades per una creu pètria que també es troba en la cúpula i sobre els arcs superiors de la façana. Té forma de pitxer, simbolitzant el pitxer que la Santa portà de bàlsam a Jesús. Esta forma original és també única en el món. Els motius decoratius deuen tenir antecedents en els estils medievals, barrocs i en la pròpia naturalesa. Influències aquestes que van dur l'autor a combinar cudols del riu Vinalopó, taulells policromats, rajoles rogenques, maçoneria, etc..., es troba Santa Maria Magdalena, patrona de Novelda, i al darrere de l'altar podem admirar un bell quatre atribuït a Gaston Castelló.
ESP:
El Santuario de Santa María Magdalena es un edificio religioso que se encuentra en Novelda (Alacant) y fue construido a partir de un proyecto trazado por el ingeniero noveldense José Sala Sala, que realizó sus estudios en Cataluña. La edificación es de estilo modernista catalán, y guarda un enorme parecido con el Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia de Antonio Gaudí. Tiene forma de jarro, simbolizando el jarro que la Santa llevó de bálsamo a Jesús. Esta forma original es también única en el mundo.
Su construcción, comenzada en 1918, necesitó de tres fases (una de ellas de paralización), para dar por terminada la obra en 1946. Para la financiación de las obras se emplearon diferentes recursos, como las galas líricas de zarzuela en donde intervino el barítono noveldense Eduardo Mateo-Quirant y su mujer, la tiple Josefina Landete (padres ambos de Paloma Mairant), entre otros.
En la fachada principal destacan dos torres laterales de 25 m. de altura culminadas por una cruz pétrea, que también se halla en la cúpula y sobre los arcos superiores de la fachada. Los motivos decorativos tienen antecedentes en los estilos medievales, barrocos y en la propia naturaleza. Estas influencias llevaron al autor a combinar guijarros del río Vinalopó, azulejos policromados, ladrillos rojizos, mampostería, etc., que se reflejan por todo el exterior del edificio.
El interior del santuario está compuesto por una nave central rectangular con dos espacios laterales adosados; al fondo, en el ábside, se encuentra el camarín de Santa María Magdalena, patrona de Novelda, y detrás del altar se puede admirar un hermoso cuadro atribuido a Gastón Castelló. Para el año 2010 está prevista la incorporación de un órgano construído enteramente en marmol, obra del innovador organero Iván Larrea, que se convertirá en el único en el mundo con estas características.

4/23/10 - I've been super lost lately...there is so much going on in my head at any given moment, and it is leaving me somewhat insane. I felt like I should express it in a photo. Let me know what you think!
*update* 4/24/10 - not sure what everyone's religion is nor does it matter, but I did a whole lot of praying last night......woke up today totally refreshed and feeling like a champ....I guess I'll have to make a happy picture now haha.
thanks to my friend and fellow flickrite Shuck for pressing the shutter on this one.

The marble used for this monument was recovered from the remains of Adolf Hitler's demolished Reich Chancellery.
It may seems bizarre to people of today that a victorious nation makes an enormous memorial park in the capital of the defeated country.
But on the other hand it is also almost impossible for people of today to fully understand the loss of 50 million lives during WW II.
20 million of these were russians - mostly civilians.

A soldier who was stranded in a massive pit during the war against Raavage, Sko-Khan spent weeks fighting off (and eating) giant scorpions (it was during this time that he ripped off a scorpion's claw and uses it as a weapon). After climbing out of the ravine himself, he became a muscle-for-hire for various Nocturnan warlords. He still carries the claw to this day, and has adorned his armor with matching scorpion imagery as a sign of respect for his old foes.

His lute (forged from and doubling as an axe) is unpleasant to the ears, and his voice is described as sounding like “nails on a chalkboard” and “a vulture being strangled” It is said that the latter is so grating that it can send members of races with “sensitive hearing” (such as elves and centaurs) into catatonic shock.
Garrus
Guild: Nocturnus
Garrus saw his home of Abyssian turn to ice at the hands of Raavage’s forces. Though he survived the attack, his forearms did not, and he had them replaced with primitive prosthetics. Filled with rage, he decided to track down those responsible for the attack, adding massive swords to his prosthetics. Leaving a trail of bodies, he soon heard word that Raavage had already been killed (thus depriving him of his revenge). With no home, family, or outlet for his rage, the hulking reptilian became a brutal bounty hunter. Though he has mellowed with time, his infamous reputation remains unchanged (as does his enthusiasm for violence).

Otra de las identificaciones de la que no soy responsable: si no fuera por la ayuda de los usuarios de Infojardin, aún estaría sin saber qué es lo que se ve en la fotografía.
Su porte, si tiene posibilidades para crecer, es muy llamativo: las hojas se quedan tiesas, como si estuviesen almidonadas. Los nervios están muy marcados y en el central, por el envés, está cubierto por unos pelillos. Sus flores son liguadas -los pétados tienen forma de lengua-, de color amarillo. Cuando hice la foto no había ni tan siquiera dado señales de vida. A ver si me paso uno de estos días y les pongo cara, :-)
It was hard for me to believe how accesible scenes like this were during our travels around Scotland. This looks like an image from a calendar, yet I stood right there by the banks of that lake and shot the image myself! Look in the darker parts of the water and see how the water was crystal clear. View it large!
This is the spot where they have placed the memorial to the Highlanders who joined forces with bonnie Prince Charlie, and were eventually defeated at the battle of Culloden (if I have my history right!).
Anyway, from this point if you turn around 180 degrees and look the opposite direction you will see the viaduct where the Harry Potter movie was filmed! We were going to ride the train that travels along this way (the Road to the Isles), and over the viaduct, but decided to drive our rental instead so that we could stop when we wanted and take pictures, like this one! :o)

My first full morning in the Sawtooths brought a quiet sunrise and still waters. The night before I had hiked until dusk and decided to scramble down off the trail and look for a couple decent sized trees to hang my hammock from.
Fortunately, tree line was another 1,000 feet above me, so I had plenty to choose from, and found a nice copse before it got too dark.
I remember it being colder than I had expected, and the rest of the nights that trip, I would boil a bit of water and jam it down by my feet to stay warm.
Just an hour or two after I took this photo, I crested the ridge above Edith Lake, another 1,500 feet above me. Little did I expect this to be one of the most moving moments of my entire life, seeing the entire Sawtooths open up before me after cresting this final rise. I was so shocked that I broke down crying. It was as if like some burden had been lifted from me that I did not know was there. I can feel it, even now.
I often come back to that moment in my mind's eye, and it continues to be a source of strength and peace for me to this day.

White Lotus Flower / green / leaf / white / flower / background /
The lotus flower appeared in legends originating from ancient Egypt. It played an important part in ancient Egyptian religion. The pure white lotus flower, the only plant to fruit and flower simultaneously, emerges from the depths of the muddy swamp. Growing from the mud at the bottom of ponds and streams, the exquisite Lotus flower rises above the water and is usually white or pink with 15 or more oval, spreading petals, and a peculiar, flat seedcase at its center.
Sesen A Lotus Flower. This is a symbol of the sun, of creation and rebirth. Because at night the flower closes and sinks underwater, at dawn it rises and opens again. According to one creation myth it was a giant lotus which first rose out of the watery chaos at the beginning of time. From this giant lotus the sun itself rose on the first day. A symbol of Upper Egypt .The lotus flower played a prominent role in the version of the creation story that originated in Heliopolis. Before the universe came into being, there was an infinite ocean of inert water which constituted the primeval being named Nun. Out of Nun emerged a lotus flower, together with a single mound of dry land. The lotus blossoms opened, and out stepped the self-created sun god, Atum, as a child. A slightly different version of the creation story originated in Hermopolis. In that version, the sun god who formed himself from the chaos of Nun emerged from the lotus petals as Ra. The lotus is a flower which opens and closes each day. His history went on to say that the petals of the lotus blossom enfolded him when he returned to it each night.
The lotus flower has been featured extensively throughout the art of ancient Egypt. In various works of art, you may see it held in the hand of a god or human, serving as a border to outline a section of the artwork, unfolding to reveal various gods or humans, and many other depictions. The ancient Egyptians from the 4th dynasty greatly valued the sacred lotus, in religious ceremonies and funerals. The ancient Egyptians developed the art of counting to a high degree, but their system of numeration was very crude. For example, the number 1,000 was symbolized by a picture of a lotus flower, and the number 2,000 was symbolized by a picture of two lotus flowers growing out of a bush.

HBM!
Took this picture this morning, went to work all day, and finally got the chance to edit it and get it up!
This time of the year always brings me back to the days when I practiced for hours and performed in the Nutcracker. It was hard work, but a lot of fun! It's hard for me not to break out in dancing whenever I hear any of the music.
Having been in The Nutcracker for so many years, I have many nutcrackers. Some small, some large, some medium. As well as a nice collection of nutcracker ornaments.
I hope you all are doing well and have a most wonderful week before Christmas and a blessed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!

Bridge that connects the upper and lower peninsula of Michigan. It's pretty long, 5 miles from shore to shore (although it didn't really seem like that).
I have no idea if this looks correct on your guys' monitor because I have been having some serious issues with CS4 wacking out on me for the past 3 days. Everything I save as an sRGB JPEG comes out way darker than it's supposed to and it's driving me freakin crazy. I have no idea what happened or how it happened. I even uninstalled and then reinstalled Photoshop. The only way I could figure out how to get around it is to save the JPEG in the Dell 2007WFP color space. Seriously hate photoshop right now and would like to kick it in the face. Hard.
EDIT: I figured out that I had somehow toggled on Proof Colors which changed the file to CMYK and I guess that's why it was coming out strange. So happy to be done with this issue. It's so frustrating when PS is acting weird and you have no idea why or how to fix it. Sometimes I think it's too complicated of a program for my own good.

Yepeee....I won in the coveted Sinulog photo contest! I never expected it considering I'm a newbie against so many good photographers around (600+) and over 7,000 entries! My year is up for a good start...I'm super elated!
Over a hundred ships and boats joined this year annual fluvial parade in honor the the Sto. Nino (Child Jesus). Its was my second time to witness such event the first time when I was just 5 years old. This time I had my camera in tow together with hundreds of photographers. I was a spectacle to see as well as enjoyable as I've met many fellow photographers from all over the world.
The fluvial procession is a reenactment of the coming of Magellan to the old Cebu Village, in particular his landing at the old beach which is now the heart of the city. Over 440 years ago, the Spaniards led by Magellan landed in the Cebu village of Rajah Humabon on April17, 1521. On the shore he planted he planted a cross which is said to be extant up to his time. Today, the city’s busiest street thoroughfare, Magallanes, is found where the cross is still preserved and now venerated as a relic. This historical chapter, Magellan’s coming, is reenacted as the advent of the new faith (www.sinulog.ph).

As the astute amongst you will have noticed, the theme this week is "puppets." The even more astute will have guessed that as we're doing something stupid, it was my idea. Don't worry, next week it's Kim's turn, so we'll be doing something more arty and interesting.
My original concept started out as "Gottle of Geer" but turned into "When Puppets go bad..." when Kim suggested that it looked like he was stealing my beer. So I expanded it, with some trepidation, to a triptych. To round out the theme, there's a little outtake below of what happened later in the shoot when Joey got riled. I'm hoping it won't scar too badly.
I also have one other, non-puppet, shot to share from this shoot, the light was pretty good - maybe you'll see that soon.

I've been kind of busy the last few days. This is my first post for a week. Someone said to me the other day "you don't know how much you value something until you don't have it." I have not missed watching the view count, but I have really missed the interaction and comments from my friends. I'm not out of the busy woods just yet, but I'll try and spend a bit of time with you all presently. This little enforced break has reminded me of how much my flickr friends mean to me. Thank you.
Let me know what you think, especially if I'm overdoing the triptychs.
My self-portrait project involves taking a picture each week that I post the following week on a Thursday. Feel free to critique - I welcome it. Thanks

This is a fairly often photographed house on the outskirts of Chipping Campden, in the Cotswolds. The boxwood hedges seem to be over 100 years old. It looks like the owners had just finished pouring several hundred thousand Pounds on its restoration when we walked past it in July.
We took a few quick pictures under poor lighting conditions when we were in this quintessential Cotswolds town for an hour or so in July. They do not begin to do justice to this beautiful place but I'm putting them up as a brief introduction to the charms of the place. For a better representation of Chipping Campden, see other sites on Flickr such as:

The machine in the new Icelandair livery, in the pink version, on February 13, 2022 took its second rotation after arriving from the paint shop in Norwich.
Nowe malowania zawsze wzbudzają sporo emocji, szczególnie jeśli poprzednie były rozpoznawalne i estetyczne. Od kilkunastu dni po Europie latają już trzy a od wczoraj cztery maszyny 737-8MAX należące do 🇮🇸Icelandair w nowej szacie graficznej. Są nimi TF-ICE (niebieski), TF-ICY (żółty), TF-ICU( różowy), TF-ICR (seledynowy). Cechą charakterystyczną zmienionej koncepcji barw będzie zmieniający się kolorowy pasek widniejący na stateczniku pionowym.
W minioną niedzielę przed moim obiektywem pojawił się różowy TF-ICU wykonujący rotację TF528 z Keflavik (BIKF/KEF). Samolot wykonywał w tym dniu drugą komercyjną rotację (KEF-BER-KEF) po opuszczeniu lakierni w Norwich.

Las casas están construídas con gran armonía entre la montaña y como es natural son calles estrechas y enpinadas. El término se extiende por el altiplano de Collsacabra, las sierras de Tavertet y los riscos de Aiats y Falgars. Si bien en la economía tradicional es la agricultura de secano (cereales, legumbres, forrajes, patatas y maíz) y la ganadería eran las principales actividades, en la actualidad, el turismo constituye la mayor fuente de ingresos. El desarrollo del fenómeno turístico ha conllevado la aparición de numerosos establecimientos comerciales y restaurantes que ofrecen al turista de verano o de fin de semana todos los servicios necesarios, como el Hostal Estrella que se encuentra en el centro de Rupit.
Una carretera local comunica el término con la C-153. En el núcleo urbano pueden admirarse edificios de los siglos XVI y XVII, de piedra, con ventanales de tipo gótico o gótico tardío y portales dovelados con antiguas inscripciones, la calle del Fossar es la más típica. El castillo de Rupit se alza sobre un espolón rocoso. La iglesia de Sant Miquel de Rupit, es de estilo barroconeoclásico. Palacio de la notaría de los Soler, con jardín colgante. Capilla de Santa Magdalena, del siglo XVII. La iglesia románica de Sant Joan de Fábregues, a 4 kilómetros de la población. Las masías son de notable interés (la Sala, el Colell, Mas Corriol). Pruit, cuenta con la iglesia románica de Sant Andreu (de los siglos XII - XIII). Iglesia románica de Sant Lloreno; Dosmunts, cerca del gran Mas de les Viles. Masías del Bac de Collsacabra, la Cassassa de Pruit y Comajoan
An early attempt using my new 10-24mm wide angle lens ! The building backs onto a dis-used railway line that became the UKs First Country Park ! It also houses a great bird hide, which I have mentioned previously on other bird photo 's !
Moving left to the photo ' takes you to West Kirby (just under 4 miles / 6 Kms) and to the right takes you to Hooton (just under 13 Kms / 8 miles) !
Great place for dragonflies during the summer months, as well as Coot, Moorhen, a variety of Finches, last but not least a great horde of the Common House Sparrow (currently under a long term study)
The pond has Roach, Rudd, Common Carp, Mirror Carp, Sticklebacks and Minnows and a Great Spot for Frogs early spring !

Children, sleeping, snow is softly falling.
Dreams are calling, like bells in the distance.
We were dreamers, not so long ago.
But one by one, we all had to grow up.
When it seems the magic slipped away...
We find it all again on Christmas Day.
Believe in what your heart is saying,
Hear the melody that's playing.
There's no time to waste,
There so much to celebrate.
Believe in what you feel inside,
Give your dreams the wings to fly.
You have everything you need, if you just believe.

It was a tranquil early morning in Yosemite but not as tranquil as a
photographer might like. Yosemite's famous Swinging Bridge was bustling
with park visitors taking in the view of stunning Yosemite Falls. I
however was determined to get a shot of the reflections of the falls in the
shaded waters downstream from the bridge and wanted to get that magical
early morning light. It took a lot of patience but I was finally able to
get the shot. I used several ND filters to slow the shutter speed and
bring out the reflection of Yosemite Falls and the surrounding forest in the
picture. I was pleased when I got home to discover the bright green new
leaves on the aspens gave the image a special glow. Yosemite falls
blurred nicely under the slow shutter speed. Yosemite Falls thundered
continuously throughout Yosemite Valley all day but are especially loud at
this time in the morning. Such a great place to spend a morning even if
it was waiting for visitors to take their shot from the bridge then move on.

Had to edit out my elastic in this one, it was distracting. I wear an elastic on my wrist like it's a bracelet. =P My hands and nails are all dirty in this. My cousin and I had to hike up and down this huge hill when I was taking her portraits. (Took this the same day) And I have left over nail polish that I never took off after my sister's wedding haha.
There are so many people that inspire me on flickr. I'm not going to make a list, because it would be never ending. But before I started taking pictures, I would always browse flickr and just look at photos and be completely awestruck by the amazing talent of so many photographers and I thought, "Wow, I want to be able to take pictures like that." And it was then that I decided I wanted to really get into photography.
So, this is for all you amazing flickr photographers that inspire the hell out of me. :)
Listen Puer Natus in Bethelem Monjes del Monasterio Benedictino de los Silos
El monasterio benedictino de Ripoll fue fundado por el conde Guifré el Pilós en el año 879. El 20 de abril del año 888 el monasterio de Ripoll fue solemnemente consagrado y dedicado a Santa María.
La creciente importancia del monasterio de Ripoll como centro cultural, con biblioteca,scriptorium y escuela monástica medieval, motivó sucesivas ampliaciones del edificio, siendo la efectuada por el abad Oliba (1008-1046) la que conformaría sus formas definitivas : 60 por 40 metros en un edificio petreo de formas austeras y macizas, de cinco naves, con un cuerpo de edificio delantero encima del cual se levantaron dos torres de campanarios y en la parte posterior un grandioso transepto coronado por un ábside central y tres absidiolos a cada lado.
El templo ha sufrido diversas restauraciones. En especial la realizada tras el terremoto de 1428 y la de 1830 que redujo a tres las cinco naves originales.Las dimensiones de la nave principal son las originales : 60 m. de largo por 9 de ancho. En el crucero y en los muros de la nave central se hallan las tumbas de muchos delos condes de Besalú y Barcelona como Guifré el Pelós, Ramon Berenguer III y IV.
La obra principal del monasterio y de la escultura románica de Catalunya, es la portada del siglo XII. Se divide en siete franjas horizontales donde se representan escenas bíblicas, históricas y alegóricas. La rica iconografía combina los grupos temáticos entre motivos florales de gran exuberancia y ornamentaciones de líneas geométricas, sin ningún lugar en que el cincel no se haya dejado sentir.A ambos lados del portal están las imágenes mutiladas de San Pedro y San Pablo.
El claustro del templo consta de dos pisos. Fué iniciado en siglo XII, quedando paralizada la construcción hasta fines del siglo XIV. La galería superior quedó completada en el siglo XVI. Tiene forma trapezoidal y consta de 112 arcos semicirculares y 252 columnas de capiteles esculpidos con motivos religiosos, mitológicos y populares.
