Listen That's the way it is - Celine Dion
I can read your mind and I know your story
I see what you're going through
It's an uphill climb, and I'm feeling sorry
But I know it will come to you
Don't surrender 'cause you can win
In this thing called love
When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is
When you question me for a simple answer
I don't know what to say, no
But it's plain to see, if you stick together
You're gonna find a way, yeah
So don't surrender 'cause you can win
In this thing called love
When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is
When life is empty with no tomorrow
And loneliness starts to call
Baby, don't worry, forget your sorrow
'Cause love's gonna conquer it all, all
When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is
When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is
That's the way it is
That's the way it is, babe
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is.

Here is a recent image to break up my recent Tahoe photos. I had to go tonight and see the impending storm that is making its way down the Pacific coast. Early this morning we had hail, which is unique since we live right on the beach. I ran up the coast just North of Santa Cruz. The whole way up all I could do was keep my eyes on these crazy sun beams. Seriously the whole ocean was lit up by isolated beams hitting the surface North, South and West of Santa Cruz.
As I ran down the cliff to the beach I watched the beams disappear. I just missed them. I am sure that up North they were going off, but I was already down at the site by that time, and it would take 30 minutes to run up the hill and find another site.
Here is my version of the approaching storm, that is sure to bring a week of power outages, flooding and more snow and hail.

A shame we couldn't go inside. From what I've seen, it's awesome in here.
The Teatro Degollado (Degollado Theater) is a theater in the city of Guadalajara in the Mexican state of Jalisco. It is located in the city's downtwon on the Plaza de la Liberacion and was inaugurated on 13 September 1866 with the performance of Gaetano Donizetti's opera Lucia di Lammermoor. The building is mainly through its neo-classical portico with triangular shaped pediment and Corinthian columns. Inside are paintings by Jacobo Gálvez and Gerardo Suárez from 1861. The repertoire includes both classical and modern pieces. - Wikipedia
A low view of the road that leads to Pitt Lake in Pitt Meadows near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
About this photo: It was a gorgeous sunny week last week with about +11C/52F and you could feel the warmth of the sun. On days like that I can't help but wanting to go out and enjoy the weather and take some photos. I ended up going to Pitt Lake in Pitt Meadows which is a 20-25 minute drive from my place.
Once you drive through this area you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere as there is hardly anybody around and hardly any cars on this road (especially on a week day in the mornings) and that only about 15 minutes away from a fair sized town. I stopped alongside the road a little ways before arriving at Pitt Lake to capture this photo of the road leading to the beautiful mountain views with some fresh powder snow on top. I just love these views!

Some information on the Pitt Lake area: Pitt Lake is located in Grant Narrows Regional Park in Pitt Meadows which is about 45 minutes east of downtown Vancouver. Pitt Lake is the second-largest lake in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, being about 53.5 square km (20.5 square mi) in area. It is about 25km (15.6mi) long and about 4.5km (2.8mi) wide at its widest, and is also one of the world's largest tidal lakes, its confluence with the Fraser being only a few miles upstream from that river's estuary into the Strait of Georgia. Its southern tip, where the Pitt River resumes, is 40km (25mi) east of downtown Vancouver.
The upper Pitt River valley is a typical U-shaped glacial valley in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia. The over-deepening of the lower end of the valley over the span of the Wisconsin glaciation created a trough over 140m (462ft) below current sea level. After initial glacial retreat at around 13,000 years ago a saltwater fjord occupied this basin when relative sea levels were still ca 120m (396ft) to 140m (462ft) above current levels in the region. Unlike neighbouring Indian Arm and Howe Sound farther west this fjord basin became cut off by sedimentation of the lower Fraser River by ca 10,500 years ago and is now considered a tidal fjord lake.
The community of Pitt Meadows occupies the marshy lowland at the southern end of the lake, some of which has become drained and is known as the Pitt Polder. Just southwest of the lake is the community of Port Coquitlam, which is across the Pitt River from Pitt Meadows. At the north end of the lake is a locality named Alvin, which is a transport and shipping point for logging companies and their employees. The Upper Pitt, meaning the valley upstream from the lake, is considered BC's best fly-fishing rivers and one of its best steelhead streams.
The lake is popular with boaters and canoeists, but is prone to heavy winds and rains as well as big waves (due to its great depth). The mountain range on its east flank comprises Golden Ears Provincial Park, its basin to the north is in southern Garibaldi Provincial Park, while the mountain range on its west, northeast of Vancouver's Coquitlam Lake watershed reservoir, is Pinecone Burke Provincial Park. The waterfront and foreshore of the lake and river are public-access and include extensive migratory wildfowl habitat. There is a destination golfing resort in the Pitt Polder area called Swan-e-set.
The area along the east side of the lake is somewhat famous for being the reputed location of Slumach's lost gold mine, the location of many failed and sometimes disastrous searches for the alleged murderer's lost gold mine. (Info from Wikipedia).
.. an smiling E.T from another world..
Its a shot from my archives of smoke shots. I was looking for something to upload as recently i didn't had much time to shoot. Browsing through old shots i saw this and it struck me instantly. A smiling Alien !! So here it is.
BTW, does any one know a easy way to select exactly half the size of canvas. I tried to find but no luck so far. For the above i set the canvas size to a 30 inch and selected until 15 inch using ruler as guide. I would not be able to increase canvas size for normal shots so need to know a easy and effective way. Any link/lead will be appreciated.

Sinto em mim a tua força

O teu olhar doce de séculos
vê o meu caminhar descalço
sobre o tapete que teces
incansável
sobre os meus pés.
Sinto em mim a tua crença

O teu carinho por mim
registado numa placa de memória
fugidia mas eterna.
E brindas-me com a mais bela

em jogo de luz e sombras
que levo comigo numa caixinha

I watched this photo many times - never sure if i should delete or store it.
It's definitely not a "beautiful flower - shot".
But each time i love the background-colours in combination with the colours of the leaves ..... and the light, which seems to lit up the seams of the leaves, and glitters at the remains of the spiders web.
So i decided to show you this attempt and am looking forward to your opinions of my perception, your critics, helpful advices and others.... :-)
Highest spot on Explore #197 on Jan 2, 2009. My Third photo in Explore. Thanks to all of you that visit my photostream and have so many wonderful things to say about my images.
I am going back to my archives. So here is just a typical nice photo with no wow factor or excitement. I need to go on a photo shoot to get some more material for my daily post. Hope you at least enjoy this calm, tranquil shot wishing for warmer weather.
Thank you for those that have left and in advance for those that do leave comments either positive or constructive. I am trying to give the world the best photography I can give and it is other professionals like you that help me to that goal.
this is a photo I found while going through my pictures searching for things to delete.

This was taken pre sunrise before walking around to the arches, It was quite a long exposure sucking all available light out of the sky, When processing this I was going for a tropical feel as this kind of landscape really doesn't look like it belongs in the North East of England!

The "Maxxi" is a great inspiration for many architecture photographers - it is very interesting to have a look on the different "interpretation keys" - it is a demonstration that the same subject can be viewed and reproducted in so many ways, and each of them has an its own meaning and sense.
You could start a good "Maxxi Tour" having a look on Anna's excellent galleries about this subject:

I am absolutely in love with this gorgeous creature! What amazing details and beauty he has. Just holding up his head must be a major exercise! =)
Since he is actually in the shade--quite dark in real--I had to use quite a bit of trickery to get some light on him. I used Nik's Viveza to get some general light on him and then in LR3 selective tool lightening, increasing saturation and sharpening only on the face and horn.
This is my entry to the LCC Global Contest #6, Unrestricted category (AxB > 32x32).
Show your character preparing for rebellion against the Queen’s forces. This can be stockpiling/forging weapons, gathering intelligence on the enemy, secretly assembling troops, etc.
____________________________________________________________
The SEAL team split up. Wolfgang headed north to his father's lair to fetch the silver that Sir Caelan paid them. The rest of the gang bought some supplies in the nearby city of Grahnhaven and then moved to Uncle Woolsey's cave. They were supposed to meet Wolfgang here but he did not show up on the due date.
Four days passed by... The gang became concerned so they decided to head north and meet Wolfgang half way. They encountered some really depressed travellers on the road; all of them were complaining about the new Queen's forces who apparently started to gain control of this outlying area in southern Garheim too. A new patrol enforces the taxation orders of the Queen (which is basically "shut up and give us all your money").
The forest turned slowly into a rocky countryside. As they got around a huge boulder they ran right into the Queen's patrol.
"Halt! In the name of Queen Galainir, we demand that you pay the taxes!" said a black knight, the supposed commander of the patrol.
"But we are outlaws, good Sir knight! I thought her Highness had a we-charge-no-outlaws policy! Can't we just carry on? asked Söndör.
"None shall pass until you payed us!" the black knight looked at his troops and nodded towards the gang. The soldiers drew their weapons and started to surround them...
"As you wish, good Sir. How much do we need to pay?"
"Let's start with all your money! And the wagon... If we take the wagon, we also take the supplies on it, so you don't have to carry those heavy goods. Just to show you how generous I am, I let you keep your weapons.
There was nothing to do. The team was outnumbered, their weapons were on the wagon and the soldiers were just waiting for a suspicious movement to storm them. The gang handed over all their possession and hit the road followed by the laughter and taunts of the soldiers.
"That is just great!" said Zlorf. "Wolfgang won't be thrilled. He was not fond of the Queen till now, but he will be enraged, especially when we tell him that not only our supplies have been confiscated but Oinky and Porky too!"
"I agree, let's find him for starters." said Letz.
To be continued...

Jerash, the Gerasa of Antiquity, is the capital and largest city of Jerash Governorate (محافظة جرش), which is situated in the north of Jordan, 48 km (30 miles) north of the capital Amman towards Syria. Jerash Governorate's geographical features vary from cold mountains to fertile valleys from (1250 to 300 meters above sea level), suitable for growing a wide variety of crops.
Jerash is known for the ruins of the Greco-Roman city of Gerasa, also referred to as Antioch on the Golden River. It is sometimes misleadingly referred to as the "Pompeii of the Middle East or Asia", referring to its size, extent of excavation and level of preservation (though Jerash was never buried by a volcano). Jerash is considered one of the most important and best preserved Roman cities in the Near East. It was a city of the Decapolis.

Il faut être toujours ivre. Tout est là: c'est l'unique question. Pour ne pas sentir l'horrible fardeau du Temps qui brise vos épaules et vous penche vers la terre, il faut vous enivrer sans trêve.
Mais de quoi? De vin, de poésie ou de vertu, à votre guise. Mais enivrez-vous.
Et si quelquefois, sur les marches d'un palais, sur l'herbe verte d'un fossé, dans la solitude morne de votre chambre, vous vous réveillez, l'ivresse déjà diminuée ou disparue, demandez au vent, à la vague, à l'étoile, à l'oiseau, à l'horloge, à tout ce qui fuit, à tout ce qui gémit, à tout ce qui roule, à tout ce qui chante, à tout ce qui parle, demandez quelle heure il est et le vent, la vague, l'étoile, l'oiseau, l'horloge, vous répondront: "Il est l'heure de s'enivrer! Pour n'être pas les esclaves martyrisés du Temps, enivrez-vous; enivrez-vous sans cesse! De vin, de poésie ou de vertu, à votre guise."
Charles Baudelaire, Enivrez-vous, Le Spleen de Paris.
I want to thank everyone of my contact and friends but time would not permit me to do this so instead I post a THANK-YOU this way. My little squirrel How's My Whiskers, made over 1000 views in just over 24 hours and The Flickr Front Page and without each and everyone of you that would not be possible. It is also fantastic to know how many friends a person has here on Flickr, the email and well wishes I received while in the hospital was quite overwhelming.
You are all wonderful and if I have not answered your email please be patient as I am answering them all.
Icy wind blows between the houses, flashes quickly in the night on the streets of the rotten city. A shade, a woman, her eyes are shiver and charm, her look magnetize you, it won't let you go.
The photoshoot shows the creature in an own perspective, who became nowadays very popular in books, films and series. The vampire. The immortal being of the past, the present and the future.
Look at the whole series!
Az időn át - Vámpír krónikák (a jelen)
Jeges szél süvít a házak közt, fürgén cikázik az éjszakában a romlott város utcáin. Egy árny, egy nő, a szeme borzongás és igézet, megbűvöl a tekintete, nem ereszt.
A sorozat saját szemszögünkből mutatja be azt a lényt, aki mára oly divatossá vált könyvekben, filmekben és tévésorozatokban. A vámpírt. A múlt, a jelen és a jövő alakját, aki halhatatlansággal bír.

When I arrived at the foot of the Sanctuary of the Virgin of the Rock, a group of half dozen of Griffon vultures began to fly over me, in circles… When they verified that I did not have thought to fall down the precipice, they retired to rocks near the house of the hermit.
Although these birds are considered ugly and of bad omen, its majestic flight in this place seemed to me one of the things more beautiful than I have never seen.
***
The Griffon Vulture (Gyps fulvus) is an Old World vulture in the bird of prey family Accipitridae.
The Griffon Vulture is 95-110 cm (37-43 in) long with a 230-265 cm (91-105 in) wingspan, and it weighs between 6 and 13 kg (13.2 and 29 lb). It is a typical Old World vulture in appearance, with a white bald head, very broad wings and a short tail. It has a white neck ruff and yellow bill. The buff body and wing coverts contrast with the dark flight feathers.
Like other vultures it is a scavenger, feeding mostly from carcasses of dead animals which it finds by soaring over open areas, often moving in flocks. It grunts and hisses at roosts or when feeding on carrion.
It breeds on crags in mountains in southern Europe, north Africa, and Asia, laying one egg. Griffon Vultures may form loose colonies. The population is mostly resident.

Cuando llegué al pie del Santuario de la Virgen de la Peña, un grupo de media docena de buitres leonados empezó a volar sobre mí, en círculos... Cuando comprobaron que no tenía pensado caerme por un barranco, se retiraron a unas rocas cercanas a la casa del ermitaño.
Si bien son consideradas aves feas y de mal agüero, su majestuoso vuelo en aquel paraje me pareció una de las cosas más bellas que he visto nunca.
***
El Buitre leonado (Gyps fulvus) es una de las mayores rapaces que puede encontrarse en la Península Ibérica, superando en envergadura (hasta 260 centímetros) incluso al águila imperial ibérica. Junto con el buitre negro, el quebrantahuesos y el alimoche (en verano), es una de las pocas especies de buitres que pueden verse en Europa, pues se le puede encontrar en España, Portugal, zonas aisladas de Francia (donde ha sido reintroducido) e Italia, buena parte de los Balcanes y Crimea. El resto de su distribución abarca varias partes de África septentrional y Asia occidental, desde Turquía, Arabia y el Cáucaso hasta las estribaciones del Himalaya y el noroeste de la India.
Aunque no se considera una especie especialmente amenazada, el buitre leonado es un ave protegida en varios países. En otros tiempos los ganaderos perseguían y mataban a los buitres por considerarlas aves de mal agüero, que amenazaban al ganado próximo a parir.
En la actualidad, el buitre leonado ha visto reducido su alimento en Europa desde que las normativas de la UE prohíben el abandono de ganado muerto en el campo, sobre todo a partir de la crisis de las vacas locas. Dada la escasez de grandes ungulados en este continente como ciervos, gamos o muflones debido a la caza y la desaparición de los bosques, las carroñas dejadas por los pastores constituyen una parte importante de la dieta de este animal.

This is the last photo I have edited and ready to go ... I did several of them early last week knowing that this week would be crazy and now I've run out! I've really missed working on my photos and also viewing yours these last several days! I think I'm addicted to you guys and your streams!! But things have been so busy for me!
As you know, I finished launching my new site yesterday but I've also been preparing for a big choral concert which happens this Thursday evening and also regular rehearsals for a musical I'm in which happens in January.
Now that my site is done I really have to buckle down and write that first Microsoft article and then also get to work for my poor clients, whom I've quite neglected as of late. All is to say, not enough time for Flickr! :(
I look forward to visiting you all soon ... hopefully I'll find some time over the weekend!
El monasterio de Sant Cugat es una antigua abadía benedictina situada en la localidad catalana de San Cugat del Vallés (España). El monasterio, construido en el siglo IX, destaca por su impresionante claustro. Fue el monasterio de mayor importancia de todo el condado de Barcelona. Los orígenes del monasterio se sitúan en el siglo IX cuando se decidió unir la iglesia que contenía los restos de San Cucufate o San Cucufato (Cugat en catalán) con una fortificación anexa. La pequeña iglesia, construida en el siglo V, era un pequeño recinto de planta cuadrada alrededor de la que se cree existía ya una comunidad de monjes. Sin embargo, no se tienen noticias documentadas de la existencia de esta comunidad hasta el año 878. En los inicios del siglo X la importancia del monasterio empieza a ser notable. Los abades de San Cugat tomaban parte en actos de relevancia y las posesiones de la comunidad se amplían llegando a tener tierras desde la zona del Penedés hasta la del Montseny. En el año 985, el ataque de las tropas sarracenas capitaneadas por Almanzor afectó al monasterio aunque no causó daños excesivamente graves. El abad que regía el monasterio en esa época, Odón, inició las obras de reconstrucción del cenobio. A finales del siglo XI, Berenguer Ramón II dispuso que el monasterio quedara sometido al de San Ponce de Tomieres, en la zona de la Provenza, lo que creó discrepancias entre los monjes de Sant Cugat. El abad de San Ponce se trasladó hasta el monasterio catalán y aquellos monjes que estaban en desacuerdo con su gestión fueron expulsados. Sin embargo, el obispo de Barcelona reclamó sus derechos sobre el monasterio que volvió a quedar sometido a la diócesis barcelonesa. Fue en ese periodo cuando más se ampliaron los dominios de San Cugat. Quedaron sujetos al mismo los monasterios de Santa Cecília, el de Sant Llorenç del Munt, Sant Pau del Camp, Sant Pere de Clará y el de Sant Salvador de Breda. A mediados del siglo XII se iniciaron las obras de construcción de un nuevo monasterio. Se amplió la iglesia existente en una obra que se prolongó en el tiempo, ya que su construcción no finalizó hasta el año 1337.
En el año 1350 se iniciaron las obras de fortificación del monasterio. El rey Pedro III amplió esta fortificación añadiendo algunas torres de guardia. Sin embargo, en este periodo se inició el declive de Sant Cugat. El abad Pere Busquets suprimió la elección directa del abad por parte de los monjes del monasterio. Los nuevos abades eran nombrados desde la diócesis y algunos de ellos ni siquiera visitaban el monasterio. Aunque se siguieron realizando algunas obras, San Cugat ya no tenía el poder de antaño. Durante la Guerra de Sucesión Española, el monasterio fue ocupado por las tropas del Archiduque Carlos, ocupación que causó graves desperfectos en el edificio. Se llevó a cabo una restauración que finalizó en 1789.
En 1835 los monjes abandonaron el monasterio; el abandono fue causado en parte por la ley de desamortización que obligaba a las órdenes religiosas a abandonar sus pertenencias, y en parte por el asalto de un grupo de habitantes de la zona. Sant Cugat quedó abandonado hasta 1851, año en el que la Comisión de Monumentos Históricos decidió restaurarlo.En 1931 fue declarado Monumento Histórico Artístico.
Tal vez lo más destacado de todo el conjunto del monasterio de San Cucufato es su impresionante claustro. Se trata de un claro ejemplo del arte románico catalán y fue construido en el siglo XII. En el siglo XVI se le añadió un segundo piso y se construyó también el atrio de entrada. Con una longitud de más de 30 metros, el claustro es obra del artista Arnau Gatell. Su planta es casi cuadrada y tiene arcos de medio punto, apoyados sobre pares de columnas. Cada una de estas columnas está decorada con capitel es finamente elaborados, con detalles variados que van desde la representación de animales a las escenas bíblicas. Se pueden contra 72 pares de capitales. Otro elemento destacado es la basílica, construida en este caso en estilo gótico. El edificio, de 52 metros de largo por 23 de ancho, consta de tres naves cubiertas con bóvedas sostenidas por columnas. Llama la atención el rosetón de 8,2 metros de diámetro, muy parecido al de la catedral de Barcelona y a la de Tarragona. La iglesia contiene un retablo gótico, conocido como el retablo de Todos los Santos, realizado en 1375 por el artista Pere Serra.
The monastery of Sant Cugat is a former Benedictine abbey located in the Catalan town of Sant Cugat del Valles (Spain). The monastery, built in the ninth century, noted for its impressive cloister. It was the most important monastery throughout the county of Barcelona. The origins of the monastery is located in the ninth century when he decided to join the church containing the remains of St. Cucufate or San Cucuphas (Cugat in Catalan) with a fortification attached. The small church built in the V century, was a small square enclosure around which people believe there was already a community of monks. However, there are reports documented the existence of this community until the year 878. In the early tenth century the importance of the monastery began to be noticeable. The abbots of San Cugat took part in important events and possessions of the community is coming to have land extending from the Penedes area to Montseny. In the year 985, the attack of the troops commanded by Mansur Saracens hit the monastery but did not damage too severe. The abbot, who ruled the monastery at that time, Odo began the reconstruction of the monastery. In the late XI, Berenguer Ramon II decreed that the monastery becomes subject to St Ponce de Tomieres, in the Provence area, creating discrepancies between the monks of Sant Cugat. The abbot of St. Ponce moved to the Catalan monastery and the monks who disagreed with his administration were expelled. However, the bishop of Barcelona claimed their rights over the monastery which was once again subjected to the diocese of Barcelona. It was during this period when most were extended domains San Cugat. Were liable to the same monastery of Santa Cecilia, the Sant Llorenç del Munt, Sant Pau del Camp, Sant Pere de Clará and Sant Salvador de Breda. A mid-twelfth century began construction of a new monastery. Existing church was expanded in a work that lasted over time, since its construction was not completed until 1337.
In the year 1350, work began defense of the monastery. King Pedro III extended this fortification by adding a few guard towers. However, in this period began the decline of Sant Cugat. The abbot Pere Busquets abolished the direct election of the abbot by the monks. The new abbots were appointed from the diocese and some of them even visited the monastery. Although it continued to make some plays, San Cugat longer had the power of old. During the War of Spanish Succession, the monastery was occupied by troops of the Archduke Charles, an occupation that caused serious damage to the building. It undertook a restoration that ended in 1789.
In 1835 the monks left the monastery, the abandonment was caused in part by the law that forced confiscation of religious orders to abandon their belongings, and in part by the assault of a group of locals. Sant Cugat was abandoned until 1851, when the Landmarks Commission decided restaurarlo.En 1931 was declared a Historic Artistic Monument.
Perhaps the highlight of the whole of the monastery of San Cucuphas is its impressive cloister. This is a clear example of Catalan Romanesque art and was built in the twelfth century. In the sixteenth century added a second floor and also built the entrance hall. With a length of over 30 meters, the cloister is work by the artist Arnau Gatell. Its plan is almost square and has round arches, supported on pairs of columns. Each of these columns is decorated with capitals is finely produced, with detail varied, ranging from animals to represent biblical scenes. You can expect 72 pairs of capital. Another feature is the basilica, built in Gothic style in this case. The building, 52 meters long by 23 wide, has three naves covered with vaults supported by columns. It is striking rosette of 8.2 meters in diameter, much like the cathedral of Barcelona and Tarragona. The church contains a Gothic altarpiece, known as the altar of All Saints, made in 1375 by artist Pere Serra.

The Fountain of Nations is a musical fountain in the Epcot theme park, designed by Mark Fuller and his team from WET. The fountain contains about 200,000 gallons of water, has about 300 nozzles and can shoot water between 30 and 150 PSI to over 150 feet high.
The original fountain was built in 1982 with the rest of the park. In the dedication ceremony, representatives from 22 nations poured water from their countries into the fountain. In 1993, the fountain was refurbished to perform water shows synchronized to a handful of pieces of music. At night, the fountain illuminates with 1,068 different colored lights. During Epcot's Holidays Around the World celebration, the fountain dances to Christmas music. It is also synchronized with The Lights of Winter archway that is over the bridge connecting Future World and World Showcase.
The fountain has multiple nozzles. There are 212 "microshooters" that shoot water 80 feet into the air, 40 "minishooters" that shoot water at a 70-degree angle 100 feet into the air, and 12 "supershooters", which can shoot water 150 feet into the air. The supershooters have a distinct popping noise due to their use of air pressure for a launching system. There are also 60 spray nozzles. Since the fountain shoots water up to 150 feet into the air, crosswinds often blow mist onto nearby guests.
The fountain plays a variety of music, some of which comes from old Epcot and Walt Disney World attractions. The automated shows are performed on every quarter-hour. The fountain also dances to this music until the park is fully cleared out so people can watch it after the IllumiNations firework show. (The fountain is shut off during the show so as not to interfere with the fireworks.) From November to the end of December, the regular music is played until around 6:00 pm. This is when the Lights of Winter Archway lights up and starts to play holiday music.

This is a close crop of a photo I took of Chihuly's glass art exhibit at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona. I used the Photoshop filter "Fractalius" to enhance the photo and focus on the beautiful colors and shapes. These colorful glass globes are presented stacked in a rowboat in the desert landscape!
Dale Chihuly's glass art exhibition at the Garden is named "Chihuly: The Nature of Glass" and Chihuly's work is displayed from November 22, 2008 to May 31, 2009. The Nature of Glass exhibit features new and unique works of glass artfully located throughout the Garden. Dale Chihuly is known for his innovative glass sculptures, and his work is immediately recognizable for its grand scale and vibrant colors. This is Chihuly's first exhibition in an outdoor desert environment.
“The artist permits and encourages photography of the artwork in this exhibition for educational and non-commercial use only.”
INFORMATION ON ARTIST DALE CHIHULY:
Dale Patrick Chihuly (b. September 20, 1941 in Tacoma, Washington, United States) is an American glass sculptor. Chihuly graduated from high school in Tacoma. Supported by his mother, after his brother George's death in a flight-training accident in Florida and his father's death of a heart attack, he enrolled at the College of the Puget Sound (now University of Puget Sound) in 1959.
In 1967, he received a Master of Science in sculpture from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Chihuly lives and works in his 25,000 square foot (2300 m²) studio, nicknamed "The Boathouse" for its former use, on Lake Union. Since losing the vision in one of his eyes in a car accident in 1976, Chihuly (who wears an eyepatch) no longer has the depth perception necessary to handle the molten glass himself. Instead, he conceptualizes each project with paint and canvas and then employs a team of artists to do the work.
About his work: His fascination with abstract nature forms comes from his mother's garden in Tacoma, Washington. One of his sculptures would be prominently displayed on the sitcom Frasier, which is set in nearby Seattle. His love for the ocean and its creatures is also reflected in his art.
Over the past forty years, Chihuly's glass sculptures have explored color, design, and assemblage. Although his work varies in size and color, he is best known for his multipart blown masterpieces. Also interested in Irish culture, he has produced a sizeable volume of "Irish cylinders," which are more modest in conception than his blown glass works.
Some of Chihuly's works cover whole ceilings of casinos and hotels, while others are hand-sized abstract flowers. Chihuly uses intense colors to bring his work to life. He is also known for using neon and argon.
Chihuly uses nature as a setting for his pieces, and tries to create his pieces as though they are part of nature. He sometimes entwines his pieces around tree branches and trunks. He also suspends them in space and floats them in water. Although it is not widely known, some components of Chihuly's installations (for example, the stacked aqua-colored chunks that decorate the Tacoma "Bridge of Glass") are made of an acrylic-type material rather than glass.

The azure damselfly (Coenagrion puella) is a species of damselfly found in most of Europe. It is notable for its distinctive black and blue colouring. They are commonly found around ponds and lakesides during the summer.
Mating in damselflies, as in dragonflies, is a complex, precisely choreographed process involving both indirect insemination and delayed fertilisation. First, the male has to attract a female to his territory, continually driving off rival males. When he is ready to mate, he transfers a packet of sperm from his primary genital opening on segment 9, near the end of his abdomen, to his secondary genitalia on segments 2–3, near the base of his abdomen. The male then grasps the female by the head with the claspers at the end of his abdomen; the structure of the claspers varies between species, and may help to prevent interspecific mating. The pair fly in tandem with the male in front, typically perching on a twig or plant stem. The female then curls her abdomen downwards and forwards under her body to pick up the sperm from the male's secondary genitalia, while the male uses his "tail" claspers to grip the female behind the head: this distinctive posture is called the "heart" or "wheel"; the pair may also be described as being "in cop".

June 2008
The Phi Phi Islands (Thai: หมู่เกาะพีพี) are located in Thailand, between the large island of Phuket and the western Andaman Sea coast of the mainland. Phi Phi Don, the larger and principal of the two Phi Phi islands, is located at [show location on an interactive map] 7°44′00″N, 98°46′00″E. Both Phi Phi Don, and Phi Phi Leh, the smaller, are administratively part of Krabi province, most of which is on the mainland, and is located at [show location on an interactive map] 8°02′30″N, 98°48′39″E.
Ko Phi Phi Don ("ko" (Thai: เกาะ) meaning "island" in the Thai language) is the largest island of the group, and is the only island with permanent inhabitants, although the beaches of the second largest island, Ko Phi Phi Lee (or "Ko Phi Phi Leh"), are visited by many people as well. There are no accommodation facilities on this island, but it is just a short boat ride from Ko Phi Phi Don. The rest of the islands in the group, including Bida Nok, Bida Noi, and Bamboo Island, are not much more than large limestone rocks jutting out of the sea.
Phi Phi Don was initially populated by Muslim fishermen during the late 1940s, and later became a coconut plantation. The Thai population of Phi Phi Don remains more than 80% Muslim.But the actual population if counting laborers, especially from the north-east, from the mainland is much more Buddhist these days.
Ko Phi Phi Leh was the backdrop for the 2000 movie The Beach. Phi Phi Leh also houses the 'Viking Cave', from which there is a thriving bird's nest soup industry. There was criticism during filming of 'The Beach' that the permission granted to the film company to physically alter the environment inside Phi Phi Islands National Park was illegal. [1] The controversy cooled down however, when it was discovered that the producers had done such a decent job of restoring the place that it finally looked better than it had done before.
Following the release of The Beach, tourism on Phi Phi Don increased dramatically, and with it the population of the island. Many buildings were constructed without planning permission.[citation needed]
Ko Phi Phi was devastated by the Indian Ocean tsunami of December 2004, when nearly all of the island's infrastructure was wiped out. Redevelopment has, however, been swift, and services like electricity, water, Internet access and ATMs are up and running again, but waste handling has been slower to come back online.

Avrei voluto farvi gli auguri di Natale di persona ma dovrete accontentarvi del mio piccolo pensiero. Nel mio cuore vi penserò...
Non ho mai trascorso le festività col cuore libero dalla malinconia, è, e deve essere uno dei miei prossimi obiettivi... perchè la vita va vissuta e non subita. I cambiamenti spesso obbligano a rinunce e vuoti che non aiutano a sorridere...
Ma, dietro le nuvole il sole splende sempre!!! ed io sono fiduciosa e sicura che presto recupererò la serenità e la luce del sole...
Non dimenticate che "Gli amici sono angeli silenziosi che ci aiutano a rimetterci in piedi quando le nostre ali non ricordano più come si fa a volare!"
grazie!
tantissimi auguri a tutti voi....e grazie per la vostra presenza!

I'm fascinated by the idea of death personified. A little morbid it's true but a concept that interests me nonetheless. It was in Philip Pullman's, Dark Materials when the idea was first introduced to me, death walking side by side with you through life.
"Doesn't it scare you, having your death close by all the time?" said Lyra
"Why ever would it? If he's there, you can keep an eye on him. I'd be a lot more nervous not knowing where he was."
"And everyone has their own death?" said Will, marvelling.
"Why yes, the moment you're born, your death comes into the world with you, and it's your death that takes you out."
- The Amber Spyglass, Philip Pullman
This is my little take on such an idea. The model is the lovely Sevgi. We took this at a meetup in London last year. I've put together a blog post about it here :)
One of my dearest memories from my time at the film school in Cuba (between September 2002 and July 2004) has to do with this, exactly...
The school, in the middle of the countryside, surrounded by nothing but nature, sported an olympic size swimming-pool, that you could access 24/7. Million stories around there, both day and night... both fun and sad... even some of them sexy in a way...
But my absolute favorite was every month, when the full moon was at its brightest, I would get my towel, swimming trunks and flip flops, and get down from my room to the pool area. Sometimes with some friends, other times by myself... And you might have started with the swim wear on... but not a few minutes would go that everything would go away... and I would feel that MAGIC (in capitals) of being free in the water, under that orange /silver light... feeling one with nature, with the night, with life itself...
Shall I remind you that I am an island person (born in one, lived in different ones ever since), and that my horoscope is Cancer? Therefore... water + moon = Paradise...
I hadn't been able to relive that feeling in a very long time....
Until my recent trip to Spain.
House in the countryside... no sound but the sheep and the crickets... and a big full moon shinning from above in the night... I felt ALIVE... again.
Taken in Majorca.

So much rain this weekend had plans to head for 3 cliffs and maybe Elan valley - had a slight break in the rain this morning so after work off i went to find a regular visited waterfall but never been here with so much water in the river
Bottlenose dolphin View Nose Dip On Black
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bottlenose dolphins, the genus Tursiops, are the most common and well-known members of the family Delphinidae, the family of oceanic dolphins. Recent molecular studies show the genus contains two species, the Common Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) and the Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops aduncus), where previous thought was that this was one species. Bottlenose dolphins inhabit warm and temperate seas worldwide.
Bottlenose dolphins live in groups called pods that typically number about 15 dolphins, but group size varies from solitary bottlenose dolphins up to groups of over 100 or even occasionally over 1000 animals. Their diet consists mainly of forage fish. Dolphin groups often work as a team to harvest schools of fish, but they also hunt individually. Dolphins search for prey primarily using echolocation, which is similar to sonar. They emit clicking sounds and listen for the return echo to determine the location and shape of nearby items, including potential prey. Bottlenose dolphins also use sound for communication. Sounds used for communication include squeaks and whistles emitted from the blowhole and sounds emitted through body language, such as leaping from the water and slapping their tails on the water.
There have been numerous investigations of bottlenose dolphin intelligence. Such testing has included tests of mimicry, use of artificial language, object categorization and self-recognition. This intelligence has driven considerable interaction with humans. Bottlenose dolphins are popular from aquarium shows and television programs such as Flipper. They have also been trained by militaries for tasks such as locating sea mines or detecting and marking enemy divers. In some areas they cooperate with local fishermen by driving fish towards the fishermen and eating the fish that escape the fishermen's nets. Some encounters with humans are harmful to the dolphins: people hunt bottlenose dolphins for food, and dolphins are killed inadvertently as a bycatch of tuna fishing. A bottlenose dolphins can jump up 16 feet out of the water.[citation needed]

català
Els Pirineus (o el Pirineu) són un conjunt de serres (és a dir, una serralada) situades al nord de la Península Ibèrica. S'estén des del Mar Mediterrani (cap de Creus) a l'est, fins al mar Cantàbric (golf de Biscaia) a l'oest; al sud hi té la depressió de l'Ebre, i al nord la de la Garona. Ocupa la zona nord de Catalunya, l'Aragó, Navarra i el País Basc i la zona sud del Bearn i la Gascunya, així com la totalitat d'Andorra. La frontera entre França i Espanya també ressegueix aproximadament els Pirineus; el País Basc i Catalunya, als extrems oest i est respectivament, es troben a cavall de la serralada.
Tenen una llargada d'uns 425 km i una amplada que generalment no supera els 100 km.
Els Pirineus reben els següents noms en les llengües dels territoris que ocupen: en català Pirineus; en francès Pyrénées; en espanyol Pirineos; en occità Pirenèus; en aragonès Perinés; en basc Pirinioak.
Segons la mitologia grega, els Pirineus els creà Heracles, en amuntegar pedres per enterrar la princesa Pirena. Segons la geologia, es van formar a l'Era Terciària, amb el plegament alpí.
Alguns dels cims més importants dels Pirineus són, entre d'altres:
L'Aneto (3.403,5 m), a la Ribagorça, el més alt de la serralada.
El pic de Pocets (3.375 m), a la Ribagorça.
El Mont Perdut (3.348,2 m), a l'Aragó.
El Vinhamala (3.298 m), a la Gascunya.
La Pica d'Estats (3.143,1 m), a cavall entre el Pallars Sobirà i el País de Foix, és la muntanya més alta de Catalunya.
El Comapedrosa (2.942 m), la màxima altitud d'Andorra.
El Carlit (2.921 m), a l'Alta Cerdanya.
El Collarada (2.886 m), a l'Aragó.
El Montardo (2.833,8 m), a la Vall d'Aran.
El Canigó (2.784 m), al Conflent.
Els dos cims dels Encantats (2.734,3 i 2.748,1 m), al Pallars Sobirà.
Els clima dels Pirineus és de muntanya, cosa que en fa una illa climàtica caracteritzada per unes precipitacions més elevades i unes temperatures més baixes que els territoris del voltant. Alhora fa de frontera climàtica entre el clima oceànic predominant al seu nord-oest i el clima mediterrani al sud-est (amb matisos continentals al sud).
S'hi dóna una disminució de les precipitacions d'oest a est i de nord a sud, essent les valls pre-pirinenques de l'oest de Catalunya les zones més seques de la serralada (compareu, per exemple, els 636 mm/any d'Adrall amb els més de 1500 als Pirineus Atlàntics). Just a l'extrem est la pluviositat torna augmentar per efecte de la proximitat amb el Mediterrani, que si bé de manera poc freqüent, a vegades genera llevantades.
Aquesta serralada és el bressol d'importants rius: Adur, Garona, Nivelle, Tec, Tet, Aglí i Camini al vessant francès; Bidasoa, Aragó, Gállego, Cinca, Ésera, Segre, Ter, Llobregat, Muga i Fluvià al vessant sud

Los Pirineos, o el Pirineo como prefieren denominar sus habitantes al referirse a una parte o región de éstos (catalán: Pirineus; francés: Pyrénées; gascón: Pirenèus; aragonés: Perinés; euskera: Pirinioak o Auñamendiak), son una cordillera montañosa situada al norte de la Península Ibérica, entre España, Andorra y Francia. Se extiende a lo largo de 415 km desde el mar Mediterráneo (cabo de Creus, golfo de Rosas) al este, hasta el mar Cantábrico (cabo Higuer, golfo de Vizcaya) al oeste. En su parte central tiene una anchura de unos 150 km. En lenguaje corriente la palabra Pirineo se aplica al conjunto de altas sierras fronterizas hispano-francesas. Los Pirineos Centrales o Pirineo central es el área geográfica de la cordillera de los Pirineos que se extiende aproximadamente, según las diferentes obras, entre las cumbres de Somport, en la parte occidental, y el macizo de la Maladeta, en la oriental.
En la ladera norte, en Francia, transcurre por la regiones de Aquitania (Pirineos Atlánticos), Mediodía-Pirineos (Altos Pirineos, Alto Garona y Ariège) y Rosellón (Pirineos Orientales). En la ladera sur, en España, transcurren por Navarra, Aragón (Huesca) y Cataluña (Lérida y Gerona). El pequeño país de Andorra está situado en los Pirineos, entre España y Francia.
Estas montañas albergan picos de más de 3.000 metros de altura como el Aneto (3.404 m), el Posets (3.375 m), el Monte Perdido (3.355 m) y el Vignemale (3.298 m), pequeños glaciares, lagos y circos de origen glaciar, y un gran número de valles y cañones.
