At the Museu Maritim in Barcelona. Wish these photos were sharper, but no tripod and no flash allowed. The ship was impressive and so was the building. The ship is a replica of the royal galley built in these shipyards in 1568. The shipyards building was built between 1283 and 1612.
This home is my first genuine real estate photo shoot. I enjoyed setting up each shot, and trying to work efficiently.
This shot is my favorite of the home. I was able to nicely light the far hallway, and get decent light elsewhere.

When I saw this head, I immediately thought about the '80's anime series we grew up with, like Tom Sawyer and Heidi. Somehow I saw this girl with unkempt orange-red braids and a straw hat, so I gave her some cute little outdoorsy freckles. *^___^*
Today was the first day of our little photo gallery in Kyoto. Thanks to all the visitors who stopped by to say hello and if you were not among those, hurry up, the weekend will be over before you know it!

For the first time ever the real Santa Claus visited Australia before Christmas Eve!
Santa parked his sleigh and reindeer at Sydney’s Kingsford Smith Airport yesterday, and this morning he took the world famous BridgeClimb walk over the Sydney Harbour Bridge, with a few very lucky media joining in the fun.
Upon reaching the summit of the climb the Channel Nine News helicopter showed up, catching the world exclusive.
Santa broke into song and did his customary Ho Ho Ho's which were heard far and wide.
Santa is spreading the Christmas spirit and making sure all good kids of all ages get some presents, by teaming up with Target and UnitingCare’s Operation Santa Christmas Appeal. It's the 20th Anniversary of the appeal and the need was more than ever before Santa tipped.
A Sydney based media agent who enjoyed the trip with Santa and the other lucky bridge climbers whispered to other media attending "This is one of the better community initiatives I've seen from corporate Australia teaming up with a charity in quite some time. Top marks to Target, UnitingCare, BridgeClimb, Splash News & Photos, and Channel Nine for getting the exclusive. It's great to see such generosity of heart and spirit at a time in Australia which its so badly needed. I hope other community based organisations and corporates follow the lead".
Now parents (and children) who are not sure whether to believe in the real Santa Claus, you might want to skip this part of the news, as it contains some top secret Santa information...
Every year in Gällivare, Lapland, Sweden, the official international ‘Santa Claus of the Year’ is chosen by an ‘Order of Santa’s’ during the Santa Winter Games. Fourteen Santa’s including their personal assistants from countries such as Holland, Colombia, France, Japan and Germany compete for this coveted title. (Qualifying rounds are held in each country).
The 2011 winner, Stefan Veroude from Holland was anointed by the ‘Order of Santas’ and is officially Santa Clause for the following year.
Stefan is a consummate musical performer and has sung with the likes of Andre Rieu.
Santa Claus says this will be the first time he has ever seen Australia in daylight. "I am going to climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge, visit some children in hospital and play with some kangaroos and koalas. Surfing on Bondi may be a little too adventurous. I am a little busy at this time of year".
"We are so excited to host Santa Claus when he visits Australia," said Dene Rogers, Managing Director of Target. "When it comes to international celebrities, there really is no one bigger at this time of year".
"Christmas is the season for giving. Santa Claus would love all Australians to support the Operation Santa Christmas Appeal. In partnership with UnitingCare, and now in its 20th year, together we have distributed 1.7 million gifts to disadvantaged people in local communities. Donate a gift at Target and show Santa we all care".

Andrew Wyeth
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. watercolourist and worker in tempera noted primarily for painting in a realistic manner the old buildings, the fields and hills, and the people of his private world.
Wyeth's father, N.C. Wyeth, was a well-known illustrator who had studied under Howard Pyle and who served as his son's only teacher. Andrew Wyeth, born July 12, 1917, Chadds Ford, Pa., U.S, presented his first one-man show in New York City in 1937. The subject matter of Wyeth's pictures comes almost entirely from two localities, the Brandywine Valley around Chadds Ford and the area near his summer home in Cushing, Maine. Wyeth uses a restricted palette mostly of earth colours but capable of hundreds of muted harmonies. His technique is precise and detailed, yet he lifts his paintings above photographic naturalism with an unreal, visionary quality.
His best known painting, "Christina's World" (1948; Museum of Modern Art, New York City), exemplifies his mastery of unusual angles of perspective and his use of light to pinpoint time. Other works include "The Trodden Weed" (1951), said to have appealed to the former Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, and "Nicholas" (1955), admired by U.S. Pres. Dwight D. Eisenhower. Wyeth was the first painter to receive the Presidential Freedom Award (1963) conferred by U.S. Pres. John F. Kennedy. In 1977 he became the first American artist since John Singer Sargent to be elected to the French Académie des Beaux-Arts, and in the next year he became an honorary member of the Soviet Academy of the Arts. In 1980 he became the first living American artist to be elected to Britain's Royal Academy. His exhibition at the Whitney Museum in New York City in 1967 established a new attendance record for that institution.
Wyeth's technical resources are remarkable, but more important are his insight into the accretions of living that have left their mark on the people he paints and his ability to convey a sense of generations of living in his paintings of old houses and their interiors.

El Palacio Real de Madrid es la residencia oficial de Su Majestad el Rey de España, que lo emplea en las ceremonias de Estado, aunque no habita en él.
El origen del palacio se remonta al siglo IX en el que el reino musulmán de Toledo construyó una edificación defensiva que después usaron los reyes de Castilla, sobre la que en el Siglo XVI, se construyó el Antiguo Alcázar.
Destruido este por un incendio en la Nochebuena de 1734, Felipe V quiso que el Palacio Nuevo ocupase el mismo lugar. Toda la construcción se hizo abovedada, en piedra y ladrillo, sin madera, para que ningún incendio pudiera destruirlo.
Las obras se realizaron entre 1738 y 1755, estableciendo Carlos III su residencia en él en 1764.
Para su decoración interior, se emplearon ricos materiales: mármoles españoles, estucos, madera de caoba en puertas y ventanas e importantes obras de arte, en especial las pinturas al fresco de los principales artistas del momento como Giaquinto,Tiepolo o Mengs y sus seguidores españoles Bayeu y Maella.
La decoración del Palacio Real de Madrid ha ido cambiando con el paso del tiempo según los diferentes estilos artísticos de cada momento. Del reinado de Carlos III se conservan el Salón del Trono, la Cámara del Rey (o de Gasparini) y la Sala de Porcelana, obra de la Real Fábrica del Buen Retiro. Del reinado de Carlos IV destaca el Salón de Espejos y de época Alfonso XII el Comedor de Gala.
