This is the South Eastern part of a small peninsula in my neighborhood called the Point. Great place to jog, stroll, bike or to grill.
This was taken RAW, originally using portrait mode and processed in ViewNX using Vivid. Then used Photomatix to HDR with one file. HDR'd enough to just get the layers of the clouds to stand out and bring the trees and steps out of silhouette. Somehow, the dimensions got a little larger. This was not intended.

nous suivions les rails pour aller au collège, le cœur battant du danger que l'on défiait. L'odeur du métal nous faisait penser au sang, alors nous nous allongions, l'oreille posée sur le métal pour débusquer le prochain train. Puis le sol se mettait à trembler, notre cœur à battre, nos jambes à se dérober. Nous restions debout sur la voie. Le péril avait des contours flous, réel mais pas véritable. L'ombre de la locomotive grossissait dans le froid et le noir du matin d'hiver. le bruit s'amplifiait, la catastrophe s'annonçait. C'était au dernier qui resterait. nous sentions qu'il 'y avait bien chaque fois un fou parmi nous qui irait trop loin. alors nous cédions en nous jetant sur le bas coté bien avant de sentir le souffle de la locomotive. Le cheminot nous apercevait, l'air éclatait tout à coup du klaxon, et le train passait en nous soufflant sa chaleur dans le fracas de la sirène mêlé au grincement des essieux. Submergés de peur, de bruits et de fureur, nous dévalions les cailloux en éclatant de rire.
We get some amazing sunsets in buffalo.
Im not sure why...
its ALWAYS colorful and the clouds I swear have a mind of their own.
They assemble in ways that always remind me that there is universal beauty.
Its been chilly lately.
Sleeping early today hopefully :D
Good day/night flickr<3
Durante il percorso, notammo un piccola indicazione che indicava "Anfiteatro Romano". Optammo per la deviazione e imboccamo la stradina. Lì per lì pensammo di aver sbagliato strada ed esserci persi nel labirinto di case (bellissime!)...eppure doveva esser visibile...si poteva però salire più su e dalla piccola altura lo scorgemmo.
Quello che rimaneva dell'anfiteatro I sec d.C., quel muro/i, era parte delle gradinate ancora parzialmente conservate e visibili, perfettamente incastonato tra le case medievali XII sec., disposte in modo da preservare la sua forma elittica.
Infatti se fate una ricerca da satellite per Assisi (dai dai! :)!) potete benissimo vedere TUTTA la struttura, incredibile.!.. (non so come postarlo qui :((!, dai dai!).
E' un bellissimo esempio di riutilizzazione di un edificio romano.
Buon giorno!!

During the walk we noticed a little indication that showed "Roman Anphitheatre". We decided to make the diversion and walk in that direction. At certain point we come up with the doubt to have taken the wrong path and be lost in the labirint of houses (so beautiful!)...yet it should be visible (!)...we could climb a little bit higher and from that point we notice it.
The rest of the Anphitheatre (I sec. after C.), that wall/s, was part of the tiers part preserved and visible, perfectly set between medieval houses (XII sec.), disposed in a way to preserve the "oval" form (don't know exact translation :(!).
Infact If you make a search on satellite for Assisi (googl..please please do it :)!) you can see it perfectly, ALL the structure!!, incredible!...(I don't know how to post it here so..:((! come on, how can I explain you, is ALL, not only walls...go and see :)))!). It's a beautiful example of roman structure's reuse.
Buon giorno!!

and rico chills.
she still won't let us hold or pet her. i am worried she never will.
he chewed on a plant yesterday and threw up like 5 times. how do you keep them away from the plants? i have so many and would hate to have to get rid of them.
it's like having babies in the house but I love all that they bring to us.

The remains of on old jetty at Cleveland Point in South East Queensland. Shot with a Tokina 12-24mm f/4 lens using a B+W 0.9 ND filter and a 3 stop soft grad Lee Filter.
A study of broken glass. This took some engineering. Basically, what you're seeing is a broken piece of glass in between two other sheets of glass, allowing me to hold it up and shoot it with my macro lens and lit by my $2 LED flashlight. Let's hear it for DIY!
I went to scout out some areas for later photo sessions today. My travels took me to the shores of Lake Erie, specifically to Rock Point Provincial Park, just South-East of Dunnville, Ontario. The point is aptly named, as the sedimentary rock shelves project out from the park into Lake Erie, representing a significant navigation hazard in the already very shallow lake. As luck would have it, Rock Point has a big boulder on the 'beach'. I believe it is an erratic, i.e a rock carried here by glacial action some 10,000 years (or so) ago. The composition of the rock appears to be granitic, unlike the local sedimentary rock formations. Mother nature was not particularly cooperative today, bringing periodic snow flurries in the sub-zero (Celsius) temperatures as heavy clouds obscured most of the sky, but kindly providing a small break for the small 'god-beam' phenomenon seen out over the lake. On the shore near the camera position, you can see a heavy deposit of what appears to be gravel, but which is, instead, shells of zebra-mussels. This invasive species is believed to have been introduced in ballast from European sea vessels in 1988 and now is well established in Lake Erie (among other lakes and waterways). - JW
Date Taken: 2014-12-29
Tech Details:
Taken using a tripod-mounted Nikon D7100 fitted with a Nikkor 12-24mm lense set to 12mm, ISO100, Aperture priority mode, f/11 (to get depth of field required), 1/80 sec. PP in free Open Source RAWTherapee: bring up shadows, reduce highlights slightly to preserve detail in 'god-beam' area, slightly increase black level, boost vibrance, apply noise reduction, sharpen. PP in free Open Source GIMP: load image twice as layers, bottom layer for sky and top layer for shore, adjust the shore layer tone curve to get a good looking shore area disregarding the impact on the sky, adjust the tone curve of the sky layer to get good contrast and highlights disregarding the impact on the shore area, use a soft edged eraser tool to remove the sky from the top/shore layer revealing the better sky in the layer below, create new working layer from the visible result, increase saturation to bring out the colours in the boulder, slightly boost contrast and reduce brightness to get a more natural (to me) look), sharpen, add fine black and white frame, add bar and text on left, scale to 1800 wide for posting.
