Un amanecer que prometía, se deban un montón de variables: viento sur, horizonte abierto, cielo lleno de nubes.... pero aún así, ésta foto tomada al inicio de la sesión ha sido finalmente lo más colorido.
Espero que os guste.
Many people will be traveling to gather with friends and family over the Holidays. It's a wonderful opportunity to see people not seen for some time, share a meal, swap stories, and hopefully, to reflect on the gift of life itself. Promise me that you'll enjoy the ride and take your time. Promise me that you'll be vigilant and travel safely. You owe it to the people waiting for you, fellow travelers, and to yourself as well.
Have a happy and safe Christmas!
Most landscape photographers aim for the start and end of the day when the sun is low and the light is more favourable. Of those 2 options my favourite is definitely sunrise. It's harder to get up early and head out to find a spot to shoot and as a result I almost always end up having the place to myself.
There is something very special about witnessing the start of a new day full of promise.
White elephants are considered sacred in Buddhist countries and promise happiness and well-being. But the way in which they are kept couldn't be more contradictory, and it suggests that this is why the animals are particularly spoiled. But a visit to Burma's white elephants reveals the opposite.
Six of the nine white elephants that are in captivity in Burma are vegetating here in the elephant house in the capital Nay Pyi Taw. They eke out their lives on a few square meters.
A taxi driver explains that the tied animals are a symbol of the power of the military. So everything is under control.
In fact, a prominent Burmese elephant expert, who is afraid of being named, confirms that the highest army generals and their entourage visited the white elephants in the capital Nay Pyi Taw regularly.
One of the country's two vice presidents is also one of the weekly visitors. They all believed the animals would bring good luck and maintain power.
Weisse Elefanten gelten in buddhistischen Ländern als heilig, versprechen Glück und Wohlergehen. Doch die Art und Weise, wie sie gehalten werden, könnte widersprüchlicher nicht sein.Es läge nahe, dass die Tiere deshalb besonders verwöhnt werden. Doch ein Besuch bei Burmas weissen Elefanten entlarvt das Gegenteil.
Sechs der insgesamt neun weissen Elefanten, die in Burma in Gefangenschaft sind, vegetieren hier im Elefantenhaus in der Hauptstadt Nay Pyi Taw vor sich hin. Sie fristen ihr Leben auf ein paar Quadratmetern.
Ein Taxifahrer erklärt, die gefesselten Tiere seien ein Symbol für die Macht der Militärs. Es sei also alles unter Kontrolle.
Tatsächlich bestätigt ein prominenter burmesischer Elefantenexperte, der Angst hat, namentlich genannt zu werden: Höchste Armeegeneräle und ihre Entourage besuchten die weissen Elefanten in der Hauptstadt Nay Pyi Taw regelmässig.
Auch einer der beiden Vizepräsidenten des Landes gehöre zu den wöchentlichen Besuchern. Sie alle glaubten, die Tiere würden Glück bringen und die Macht erhalten

While recently visiting my father for his re-marriage, he gave me the ring my mother once gave to him. My mothers promise, I now wear next to my heart. They remind me of how brave, beautiful and dependable she was. When she said 'I do" she did.

And a nice, ever increasing clump of Reticulata Iris getting ready to bloom. Look at the stiff little white "beaks"on the tips of the wee shoots! Amazing!! They literally push their way to the surface with that pointy little beak! Nature is sooo cool!

yesterday was the first real day of fall in Charleston! that is, if you consider 80 degrees chilly (which i do haha). the breeze was cool, the sky was that blue color that only occurs this time of year, and i was in a fantastic mood, so obviously, i went and took pictures in my favorite forest location. i wish the leaves were already this color, but ya know, a girl can dream ;)
i tried a new technique with free-lensing for this, and i'm really happy with the results! i'll have to do more photos like this since i have motivation for photos again <3
view large! i know, i say that for every photo, but DO IT haha

Tiny bloom in our very small lilac bush blooming after several nights of freezing temperatures. Was happy to find the buds had survived and were starting to bloom dispite the freezing temps. Thunderstorms tonight with a dusting of snow a slight possibility.
Not much else to photo at our house right now so our slowly opening small lilac has become a subject than our redbud until our iris bloom later. :) Very breezy so hard to get focus.
A lovely azalea bud waiting to burst forth!

我還記得 我們的約定
我比以前還更愛你了
連那風都笑我了
我想它會告訴你的
我更愛你了
I still remember
Our promise
I love you even more than the last time
Even the wind is laughing at me
It surely will tell you
I love you even more now

就這樣 两年又過了
我還是回到這個地方
閉上眼 等你的出現
空氣中吻你的臉
Just like this
Two years have passed
I still go back to this same place
Close my eyes while waiting for you to appear
Kissing your face in the air
我還記得
我們的約定
一輩子幸福的約定
為你寫的那首歌
它也偷偷的掉淚了
I still remember
Our promise
A Promise of happiness for a lifetime
The song I wrote for you
It also cried secretly.....

i've wanted to take a photo like this ever since i started this hobby, but never just gotten around to do so. it's inspired by this page of sugar sugar rune - a manga i read way before getting into dolls. the cute pose just got stuck into my mind so when i realised you could do this with obitsus, i knew i had to take a photo like this!
Cherry blossom in my garden - last year, late frosts destroyed it, so hoping for better luck this year!
Today I went on a phototrip together with Lies Baas and Chris 1971's. This time we went to Zollverein and Landschaftspark Duisburg, Germany.
This photo reminds me of the epic song of Unheilig - Gelobtes Land
