Constante, al igual que el fotógrafo. Disfrutar día a día de nuestra pasión nos permite ganar experiencia, conocimiento , y sobre todo paciencia. Con el paso del tiempo aprendemos a sacarle el máximo partido a los mejores días y a no rendirnos y desesperarnos en aquellos días en los que no damos ni una.
En mi opinión el don con el tiempo pasa a un segundo lugar, y comienzan a cobrar una mayor relevancia cuestiones como la constancia, la ilusión y esa felicidad que nos aporta aquella misión en la que nos encontramos inmersos. Pensemos que el simple hecho de bajar con nuestra cámara a dar un paseo, leer un libro de fotografía o incluso imaginarnos en algún lugar haciendo fotografías puede suponer que encontremos una nueva fuente de inspiración, que nos permita recorrer nuevos caminos, caminos que curiosamente siempre se encontraron dentro de nosotros y que sólo necesitaban una pizca de inspiración para brotar, y estas reflexiones me hacen preguntarme ¿te vas a quedar ahí quieto, o vas a salir a aprovechar esas miles de oportunidades que te están esperando ahí fuera?
Muchas gracias a tod@s!!
Thanks a lot for all :D
Danke für deinen Besuch! Thanks for visiting!

La bajamar permite contemplar una de las formaciones rocosas más singulares de esta playa, la conocida como «Pena do Elefante«, denominada así por simular la forma de la trompa de este animal.
La agitada hidrodinámica de esta playa la convierte en idónea para la práctica del surf, por lo que es habitual ver a personas disfrutando de este deporte.

Please permit me to post another pier photograph. This one is on the Windsor, Ontario riverfront looking across the Detroit River to Detroit, Michigan.
As I looked across to Detroit, I noticed that most of the downtown buildings were dark, a result of the terrible COVID-19 crisis in our sister city. Well, the light at the end of this pier reminds me of an American motel chain, Motel 6, that in their old commercials would always end with the line: “…and we’ll leave the light on for you”. For many of us in the Windsor area, we are thinking of our neighbours, friends and relatives across this river during this hard time. We’ll leave the light on for you! Detroit Strong!
The Churches of Peace in Jawor and Świdnica in Silesia were named after the Peace of Westphalia of 1648.
It permitted the Lutherans of Silesia to build three churches from wood, loam and straw outside the city walls,
without steeples and church bells. The construction time was limited to one year. The third Peace church,
erected in Głogów (then German Glogau), burned down in 1758.
History
Despite the physical and political constraints, three of the churches became the biggest timber-framed religious buildings in Europe due to pioneering constructional and architectural solutions.
The church in Jawor, dedicated to the Holy Ghost is 43.5-metre (143 ft) long, 14-metre (46 ft) wide and 15.7-metre (52 ft) high and has capacity of 5,500. It was constructed by architect Albrecht von Saebisch (1610–1688) from Wroclaw (then German Breslau) and was finished a year later in 1655. The 200 paintings inside by were done by Georg Flegel in 1671–1681. The altar, by Martin Schneider, dates to 1672, the original organ of J. Hoferichter from Legnica (then German Liegnitz) of 1664 was replaced in 1855–1856 by Adolf Alexander Lummert.
By that time, the town had been part of the majority Protestant Kingdom of Prussia for about a century. Another 100 years later, in 1945, the town became part of Poland, as a result of the Potsdam Agreement. Although most of the Protestant churches in the German provinces taken over by Poland in 1945 became Catholic, the two Peace Churches still serve their Lutheran parishes.
The similar church, erected in Głogów (then German Glogau) burned down in 1758, but the one in Świdnica, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, survived like the one in Jawor. Both were restored by a Polish–German cooperation, and recognized by UNESCO in 2001.

Male White-winged Crossbill (Loxia leucoptera) feeding on spruce cones in the suburbs of southwest Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
The spruce trees were stressed due to dry conditions this past summer and produced a large cone crop this year. This resulted in a large number of both species of Crossbills moving into Edmonton this winter to feed on the abundant food supply.

Me vais a permitir un cambio de registro en los temas que os estoy ofreciendo estos días. No soy experto en Flamenco, pero me gusta, y pensando en esos amigos que tengo por el sur (incluyo a todos aquellos con los que tuve el honor de compartir comida durante su visita a la Ciudad del Cierzo) y aprovechando esta fotografía, quiero ofreceros una pequeña selección de temas

Estrella Morente – “Canción de los pastores”
El maestro Enrique Morente fue mucho más que un renovador del flamenco. Fue un visionario, un pozo de arte y sabiduría. Su legado es eterno, pero quizás su gran obra haya sido ser el referente y creador de una saga de grandísimos artistas, entre los que destacan su primogénita, Estrella Morente, junto a sus hermanos Soleá y Kiki Morente, y al resto de esa gran familia que son los Morente-Carbonell. El arte de Antonio Carbonell, las guitarras de Montoyita y Monty, el cante de Ángel Gabarre o el baile de La Globo.
“Calle del Aire” es un emotivo espectáculo artístico en el que los espectadores fueron partícipes de una Navidad en el hogar de los Morente. El público formó parte de esa gran familia de artistas con los que compartieron la alegría y la felicidad de estas fechas.
Las riberas de la naturaleza permiten disfrutar del deporte sin contaminarla ....

The Itatiaia Park is the oldest national park of Brazil, created on June 14, 1937 by the then President Getulio Vargas.
Located at the Mantiqueira Mountain Range, the Itatiaia National Park includes part of the municipalities of Itatiaia and Resende in Rio de Janeiro state, and Bocaina de Minas and Itamonte in Minas Gerais state. It is near the President Dutra highway, half way from Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo cities and next to the economic center of Resende.
The park relief is mountainous and characterized by rocky formations, with altitude between 540-2791 m, and at its highest point is the peak of the Black Needles (Agulhas Negras).
In Itatiaia Plateau region, also known as "Upper Part", are the high fields and hanging valleys where there are several river sources. In the Park area are the origins of 12 major regional river basins, which supply two main basins: Rio Grande (Grand River), an affluent of the Paraná River, and the Paraíba do Sul River, the most important of Rio de Janeiro.
The "Lower Part" has an exuberant Atlantic Forest vegetation and generous water courses, with several natural pools and waterfalls where swimming is permitted.
Large duck with a sleek body and thin red bill. Breeding males have a dark green head and mostly white body with peachy blush on underparts. Females and immature males have rusty brown head and gray bodies with a cleanly demarcated white throat. Feeds in rivers, lakes, and large ponds by diving to catch fish. Hardy in winter, often staying as far north as open water permits. (eBird)
-----------------
Nice to see this pair on the water retention ponds, far from the river. They were intriguing to the local non-birders in the area, who knew they weren't mallards, and were curious to learn more.

El museo se sitúa en el edificio del antiguo convento de Santo Domingo de Bonaval (s. XVII-XVIII). Las primeras salas abrieron en el año 1977; desde entonces el museo, con gran base social en Galicia, ha rehabilitado todo el recinto conventual e incrementado sus fondos, algo que le ha permitido ampliar sus espacios expositivos y mostrar las diversas manifestaciones de la cultura gallega. El Museo do Pobo Galego es un museo de carácter antropológico, pero también acoge salas de pintura, escultura y arte sagrada. Las principales colecciones están en relación con la cultura popular, guardando valiosos fondos referentes al mundo marinero y agrario.

Lo habitual es sacar la siempre elegante Fritillaria lusitánica, con fondos y primeros planos verdes, de las praderas donde es habitual encontrarlas en primavera- Esta temporada la sequia nos ha traído consecuencias nefastas, pero para nuestra afición, también es una oportunidad de nuevas posibilidades fotográficas. En este caso el fondo desnudo de el suelo y el primer plano de la hierba seca, de la temporada anterior que aun perdura, nos permite un diferente escenario para la toma. saludos
Ahora que era muy rica me había comprado una casa en la playa, era una casa bastante grande, con piscina y con un sistema de seguridad de los más modernos. Me habían recomendado hacerme una operación de estética para huir de la mafia a la que había dejado tirada por tener otro cerdo lamecoños. No me apetecía pasar por el quirófano de nuevo así que decidí quitarme de todas las redes sociales, no usar móvil y no permitir que nadie lo usara si iba a reunirse conmigo. Me había vuelto un poco paranoica con ese tema. No usaba tarjetas de crédito a mi nombre y me había hecho más de veinte documentos de identidad diferentes. En uno era Irina, en otro Sally, tenía uno que me llamaba Humberta, o María, los nombres eran muy dispares. Ahora usaba Jana que me parecía más bonito y además corto. Me había llevado a mis perros a la casa de la playa y a mi putita a la que también tuve que cambiarle el nombre. Nada más llegar le tinté el pelo rubio a mi puta y le pinté los labios morados por usar un color diferente al rosa, así no llamaba tanto la atención. (sigue en mi blog, links en información)

The enhancements to the feeding station that Robbie is permitted to access seems to have made it the most popular feeding station in the yard. The treats placed at this station are placed at other feeding stations as well so it's not about the treats.
The feeding station was once simply a palm tree stump. Nature was doing what nature does and the stump was rotting little by little. I would make sure that the rotten part was cut and it would be nice for a while longer.
With the recent enhancements, the rotting part of the stump was cut and a stepping stone was placed on top. The stone was prepared to hold the small cedar branch that the tufty is on. Sure the stump will continue to break down but with the stone on top it should last a little longer. When I get a round to it, the plan is to fill the stump with a bit of resin or something to help preserve it for a few more years. The stone and cedar topper will be put back on though, the birds love it.
Too bad that this feeding station cannot be viewed from the living room window. It's located in the picnic area and there are a lot of plants hiding it from the window view. I am glad that my little visitors don't mind if I'm hanging out in the picnic area. They come and go as they please and for the most part ignore me when I am there. The wrens might scold me before coming over to get a treat. But that doesn't stop them at all.
Have a wonderful day and happy snapping.

Egyptian Goose - Alopochen Aegyptiacus
Once common along the entire Nile valley and regarded as sacred in ancient times, the Egyptian Goose is no longer an easy bird to see in the country from which it takes its name, as it is largely confined to upper Egypt. It is, however, widespread and common throughout sub-Saharan Africa, with introduced populations firmly established in England, Holland, Belgium and France. Concerns over conflict with native species has led to restrictions on keeping them in Britain and Europe.
This distinctive small goose is a member of the shelduck family. In the wild it is invariably found in pairs or family parties, while flocks of 50 or more can be found after the breeding season. The sexes are similar: both have a conspicuous chestnut patch encircling the eyes, giving them a somewhat piratical appearance, while the brilliant white forewing is obvious when they fly.
The UK Invasive Alien Species (Enforcement and Permitting) Order 2019 came into force on Sunday 1st December. The Order implements requirements contained in EU Regulation 1143/2014 on Invasive Alien Species, which sets out rules to prevent and minimise the impact of the introduction and spread of non-native animals and plants across the EU. The Order makes it an offence, amongst other things, to import, keep, sell, transport, breed or release into the environment, any of the listed plants and animals. Invasive alien waterfowl currently covered by this Order are Egyptian Geese and Ruddy Ducks Oxyura jamaicensis.

Catedral de León
Me recuerda a mi abuelo Miguel.
Resuena en mis oídos la portentosa voz de mi tia Mary, cantando junto a su sobrino de tres o cuatro años canciones de misa.
Comparto la norma de todas y todos los leoneses que emigraron, cuya primera visita inexcusable al regresar a León es ir hacia ella, para verla, para hablarle, para tocar esas piedras adorablemente eternas...
Permitid que hoy, mientras observais la luz dorada del atardecer sobre esas mis piedras vetustas, os traiga un precioso y sentido texto del gran periodista y leonés universal, Luis del Olmo.
EL MILAGRO DE LA PULCHRA LEONINA
Quienes construyeron la catedral de León se empeñaron en convertir en realidad una impresionante utopía. Soñaban con desmaterializar el arte, adelgazar la materia hasta el límite, despegarla de la tierra y elevarla al cielo.
En esta sagrada locura participó toda la ciudad. Era tal el desafío que solamente un milagro podría mantenerla firme. Y así ha sido. Aunque la piedra sea quebradiza, los cimientos padezcan debilidad y el fuego haya estado a punto de destruirla, nuestra catedral asombra por su verticalidad y por la inmensa luminosidad de sus muros adornados con el maravilloso colorido de los vitrales.
Si está en pie es de milagro, sí, pero no ha sido solo el milagro de la ciencia, sino también el de la fe, el milagro del esfuerzo de muchas generaciones de leoneses que lo han dado todo para reparar, sostener y cuidar su catedral, manteniendo así las mismas creencias de sus constructores.
A lo largo de su historia, ha tenido varias veces que ser restaurada, porque nuestra pulchra leonina posee la belleza de la fragilidad y necesita cuidado, mimo y dedicación.
Los visitantes se asombran al entrar en ella y contemplar una de las mayores colecciones de vidrieras medievales del mundo. Ese derroche de luz es también un resumen de la historia sagrada, que acompaña al creyente en su fe. De esta forma la catedral habla a quien la visita, y sus altas columnas góticas animan a mirar hacia arriba, a la catedral del cielo, allá donde reside la madre de todos los milagros.
Todos los que hemos nacido en esta tierra leonesa tenemos en nuestros genes el amor a nuestra pulchra leonina. Si estamos fuera, la recordamos con nostalgia, y al regresar a casa lo primero que hacemos es visitarla, ver como está, manifestarle nuestro amor y nuestro ánimo, porque sabemos que sintiéndose querida, ella mantendrá por siempre su firmeza.
He perdido la cuenta de las miles de veces que he hablado de nuestra catedral, pero nunca se me olvidará aquella mañana mágica en que los micrófonos de "Protagonistas" entraron en sus naves y allí, en compañía de todo León, realizamos para el resto de España un programa especial destinado a recaudar fondos para reparar sus vidrieras.
Esta tierra nuestra, mitad mística, mitad guerrera, tiene muy presente el pasado para asegurar el futuro, y por eso lleva en su corazón de león a su querida catedral. Este es el auténtico milagro de nuestra pulchra leonina, que cada leonés se convierte en un firme arbotante para sostener con su esfuerzo una estructura prodigiosa, donde la materia se funde con el espíritu y las piedras se llenan de luz.
Luis del Olmo

Navegaba cual gaviota
con sus alas extendidas
buscando nuevos retos
y un montón de aventuras.
Corría, más bien volaba,
en esas calmadas aguas
esperando pronto hallar
nuevos puertos que observar,
y aprendiendo de aquellos
que sencillamente enseñan
los tesoros de la vida.
No te importe el llegar
que la vida está en el viaje
y en ese aprendizaje
que te haga envejecer
libre de todo equipaje
y lleno de mucho saber.
Cuando llegues a puerto
alégrate que aprendiste
muchas cosas en tus viajes
que te permitieron volver.

Church homestead
A church from year 1742, Zarubyntski village of Monastyryshchenskyi district of Cherkasska Region
The building comprises of three rooms: a groove + nave + altar. The church is made of hewn oak bars, three-domed. The central dome is the highest one, with two logjams. Crosses, crescents and flowers were retained on the domes. Awning bars have decorative intersections. The central log-building is eight-squared, vertically elongated, its side framing facetted. It has four levels, with an open lantern blind in its interior; side frames are of three levels, with a lantern blind. The obvious inclination of the log walls brings the whole composition to a single center – an axis of the main tower. There have never been any additional buildings before the entrance to the church, and doors were always in plain view. Especial attention has been paid on decoration thereof.
Inside of the church is divided into three parts: the groove, the nave (middle part) and the altar. The groove is the entrance area, permitted for those who repented and adherent, as well as those who prepared themselves to christening.
The five-level altar screen combines monumental engraving and sophisticated painting. An original altar screen of 18th Century sustained damage. Although, two engraved columns, several frames and two icons survived in its apostolic row to become a basis for reconstruction of the whole iconostasis.
Church was a heart of every town. It was a place of keeping books; it was a religious and an administrative building at the same time. The matters of human life were resolved here. The church houses Ukrainian orthodox divine services since 1990.
A fence of pine-tree half-beams fixed to piles. Top of the fence is covered by double-slope roofing made of wooden lathing. The gates and doors in front of entrance to the church are covered by roofing with an icon.
