In July 1885, three teenage Hawaiian princes took a break from their boarding school, St. Mathew's Hall in San Mateo, and came to cool off in Santa Cruz, California. There, David Kawānanakoa, Edward Keliʻiahonui and Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole surfed the mouth of the San Lorenzo River on custom-shaped redwood boards, according to surf historians Kim Stoner and Geoff Dunn. In 1890, the pioneer in agricultural education John Wrightson reputedly became the first British surfer when instructed by two Hawaiian students at his college.
George Freeth (1883–1919) is often credited as being the "Father of Modern Surfing". He is thought to have been the first modern surfer.
In 1907, the eclectic interests of the land baron Henry E. Huntington brought surfing to the California coast. While on vacation, Huntington had seen Hawaiian boys surfing the island waves. Looking for a way to entice visitors to the area of Redondo Beach, where he had heavily invested in real estate, he hired a young Hawaiian to ride surfboards. George Freeth decided to revive the art of surfing, but had little success with the huge 500 cm (16 ft) hardwood boards that were popular at that time. When he cut them in half to make them more manageable, he created the original "Long board", which made him the talk of the islands. To the delight of visitors, Freeth exhibited his surfing skills twice a day in front of the Hotel Redondo. Another native Hawaiian, Duke Kahanamoku, spread surfing to both the U.S. and Australia, riding the waves after displaying the swimming prowess that won him Olympic gold medals in 1912 and 1920.
In 1975, a professional tour started. That year Margo Oberg became the first female professional surfer.
From the balmy shores of San Diego to the chilly waters of Northern California, the Golden State’s coastline offers the allure of perfect waves for every type of surfer. In August 2018, the state assembly voted overwhelmingly to enshrine surfing as California’s official sport. A new holiday was even created to commemorate the cowabunga-inspired moment—September 20 is California Surfing Day.

“La Carnia sarebbe più dolce se il primo paese non fosse amaro” dice un locale proverbio popolare. Amaro, il primo dei ventotto comuni che si incontrano entrando in Carnia dalla provincia di Udine, sorge sulla strada romana detta Iulia Augusta che congiungeva Aquileia con il Norico. Proprio per la sua posizione, si ritiene che qui, nell’antichità, ci fosse una stazione per il cambio dei carri e degli animali da traino.

“Carnia would be sweeter if the first town weren't bitter” (Amaro) says a local popular proverb. Amaro, the first of the twenty-eight municipalities that you encounter when entering Carnia from the province of Udine, is located on the Roman road called Iulia Augusta which connected Aquileia with the Noricum. Due to its location, it is believed that here, in ancient times, there was a station for changing wagons and towed animals.
12 photos from Amaro.

This Common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) seems very popular with these tiny bees. How many can you count? The 'flower spikes' of this ragweed are exceedingly long and offer pleasant arc for landing locations. My Ozark wildflower book says ragweed seeds are found in several archaelogical sites and are thought to have been cultivated for food.
La pintura cusqueña se caracteriza por el uso de temas exclusivamente religiosos, la falta de perspectiva y el predominio de los colores rojo, amarillo y tierra. También son notables por su abundante uso del pan de oro, especialmente con imágenes de la Virgen María. Aunque los pintores cusqueños estaban familiarizados con las estampas del arte renacentista bizantino, flamenco e italiano, sus obras eran más libres que las de sus tutores europeos; usaron colores brillantes e imágenes distorsionadas y dramáticas. A menudo adaptaron los temas para representar su flora y fauna nativas como telón de fondo en sus obras. Los ángeles arcabuceros se convirtieron en un motivo popular en las pinturas cusqueñas.
La mayoría de las pinturas cusqueñas fueron creadas de forma anónima debido a las tradiciones precolombinas que definen el arte como comunal.

Cosmos bipinnatus, commonly called the garden cosmos, Mexican asteror cosmea, is a medium-sized flowering herbaceous plant in the daisy family Asteraceae, native to the Americas. The species and its varieties and cultivars are popular as ornamental plants in temperate climate gardens. Cosmos bipinnatus is an annual that is often considered half-hardy, although plants may reappear via self-sowing for several years. The plant height varies from 0.61–1.83–2.74 m. The cultivated varieties appear in shades of pink and purple as well as white. The branched stem is usually densely to occasionally occupied by fine, split up, rough trichomes, but some specimens are completely hairless. The petiole itself is inconspicuous, winged, 10 (rarely to 15) mm long, and sometimes the leaves are almost sessile. The very conspicuous cup-shaped inflorescences have a diameter of usually 5–7 cm and contain tongue and tubular flowers, which are surrounded by bracts. There are usually 8 outer bracts, and they are ovate to lanceolate-tail-shaped, 7-15 mm long, 3-5 mm wide. The inner bracts are ovate-lanceolate and 8-12 mm long. They are translucent with many black stripes and a clear edge up to 1 mm wide, sometimes with yellowish or pink pigments, the tip is ciliate. The sprout leaves have gold-yellow, thread-like tips and protrude between the tubular flowers. The broadened base of these spreader leaves is translucent, with a yellow line. The mostly eight ray florets are pink to violet or white colored, at the base may show noticeable stains caused by anthocyanin. The tongues are reversely ovate shaped, have a length of usually 20-35 mm and a width of usually 12-20 mm. The tips are almost dull and have three broad, wavy teeth. Below that, they are greatly rejuvenated. In the center of the flower baskets is a large number of tubular flowers (also called disc florets), whose overgrown petals are yellow, turn white in the lower part and reach a length of 5-6 mm. The anthers are brownish-black and about 3 mm long, at the tips are short-triangular, translucent attachments with a length of 0.5-0.8 mm. The branches of the stylus are short and rather dull, with a length of 0.5 mm.

I'm taking a little break from Flickr right now. Meanwhile lately i was collecting the most popular pics from 2016 and it turned out like i didn't expect. First i tried to use Dopianza app which created an album based on the Flickr "interestingness" index. But the result was completely disappointing because the first page was made almost completely out of my 'Explored' pics. It didn't look representive at all. So i decided to handpick the ones you liked the best (according your 'favs'). I checked the most recent pages of my stream and decided to set the bar above 30 favs (with some exceptions) because recently there was only a few of them on every page. So i started from the most recent pages and was going further. After i passed a half of the way (3 months of the Summer 2016 + May) i noticed that the number of 30+favs pics on the each next page grows quickly. That's how i found out how popular i was a couple of years ago :-)) There could be a few reasons for this. The most obvious - my pics before the "greenery" period (which in Moscow starts in May) are more popular (the ones with the snow were esp popular). And honesltly - i completely agree with you, i like them better then the sunny ones too.
Anyways it was too late to set the other bar for the 'most popular' album so i continued with 30+ favs. In the result i finished with 1285 pics. From a total number of more then 4200 pics from that time period it's more than each 4th pic - obviously much more than i expected to collect. And out of them about 950 pics are from the "grey" period (January - April) and only about 330 from the "green" period (May - August)
I have big doubts that album will be helpful for someone except me becuase it's too big. But anyways it's much easier to explore 10+ pages instead of 40+ pages of my stream and i think that smaller version of my stream based on your preferences is pretty representive and i like it. So i need to thank my regular audience for working as a test group :-)
Here's the link on that album, you might want to take a quick look on what i was sharing with you last 4 years (about 1000 pics per year by 3 pics each day) www.flickr.com/photos/62113916@N02/albums/72177720306096704

El puente de U Bein, que cruza el lago Taungthaman, se encuentra en Amarapura, cerca de Mandalay en Myanmar, la antigua Birmania.
Se trata de un puente construido en teca aproximadamente en el año 1850 cuya longitud de 1,2 kilómetros lo ha situado como el más largo del mundo de su tipo.
When I took this shot, almost 2 years ago, while on a ferry to Mykonos, I could never imagine it would end up in the April 2009 issue of "POPULAR PHOTOGRAPHY" magazine, as well as on their site...
www.popphoto.com/popularphotographyfeatures/5750/photogra...
However, this is exactly what happened and I am particularly grateful to the "POPULAR PHOTOGRAPHY" people who approached me and asked for the rights to publication.
I might only add this is a profile I am particularly attached to, since I have also used it as foundation for my "Breast Cancer Awareness" message I (re)upload every October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Thank you FLICKR for giving all of us the kind of exposure and visibility that landed this profile in a prestigious magazine, thank you POPULAR PHOTOGRAPHY for the honor, thank you all!..

Iconic view of St Louis Cathedral and Jackson Square (with a statue of Andrew Jackson, who was the seventh president of the United States) in the foreground.
A late comment: did anyone notice that there's not a thousand tourists in this picture? But it was at the height of Mardi Gras. I caught it at a good moment.

A masterpiece of popular architecture, the Carrasqueira pier is unique in Europe, built on seemingly fragile irregular wooden stakes of the 1950s and 1960s, which serve as mooring for the fishing boats that lay there, sometimes buried in the mud or in the water, according to the tides.
Despite the degradation, the dock continues to fulfill the mission for which it was built: allow access to boats of fishermen, even during the low seas.
Integrated into the nature reserve of the Sado Estuary, the riverside village preserves an impressive network of staking that stretches hundreds of meters along the muddy estuaries of the river Sado.
A tourist attraction point, it is one of the most visited places in the municipality of Alcácer do Sal and one of the most famous spot for landscape photographers in Portugal.

Heroes Square decorated with the city name during the Budapest Spring Festival. Ever since I saw the sign I knew I wanted to take a photo of it using the fisheye. As you can imagine, it's very popular with tourists, so I had to wait for a bit till there was no one in front of it.
