A Smooth-billed Ani perches in a tree at Millenium Golf Club in Arouca, Trinidad, Trinidad. Recorded on 03/08/2016.
I happened to visit another of these fests "Transat en ville" in Rennes this Wednesday and a group came here to teach Salsa. They presented their own piece!

Salsa means sauce in the Spanish language, and carries connotations of the spiciness in some Latin and Caribbean cuisine. More recently, salsa acquired a musical meaning in both English and Spanish. In this sense, salsa has been described as a word with "vivid associations, but no absolute definitions, a tag that encompasses a rainbow assortment of Latin rhythms and styles, taking on a different hue wherever you stand in the Spanish-speaking world". The precise scope of salsa is highly debatable. Cuban immigrants and Puerto Rican migrants in New York have used the term analogously to swing or soul, which refer to a quality of emotionally and culturally genuine music in the African American community. In this usage salsa connotes a frenzied, "spicy" and wild musical experience that draws upon or reflects elements of Latin culture, regardless of the specific style.
Photographed at Eno River State Park, near Durham, NC. This is basically a proof of concept. It's the first time I've been able to get one of these shots with reasonable results. I'm not a fan of the 'smoothed water' genre, but I can appreciate that these photographs are more tricky than one might think.
A smooth green snake (Opheodrys vernalis) found in Ontario, Canada. These small snakes feed on smooth caterpillars and other insects.
These photos were taken in the night at the Atlantis Resort in Reno, Nevada.
For me, my photography has allowed me to hold to part of my sanity.
My viewfinder grants me a brief reprieve from the reality of caring for my brother, Kirk, who is battling Cancer; and from the fear I feel.
My camera gives me a world void of my pain for a brief moment.
Please, (and I know I ask alot) but please continue in prayer for my brother to live.
I cannot imagine any desire of a life without him in it. He is my BIG brother. He has always been there.
He really likes these photos, BTW.
He is a poet, published and very-extra good at it.
Google "Tirepoet", or "Poetic Hermit". His name works too, "Charles K. Agers". He is very talented.
Thanks for letting me rant.
You, my Flicker-friends are a rock for me.

In this week, for my 52 Project, I decided to upload these two keyboard capture because today I just finished to read and understand the iOS dev learning book, and then I used this keyboard all the week and all the month, but now I'm so glad that I became an iOS Developer!!!
Now there are a lot of work in my future days that I should will do, I'd like to develop an application that until today it lived just in my mind!
More news are coming this or the next year, stay tuned, I'm so excited!
Hope you enjoy the HDR captures, se you soon.

I think it's a smooth newt but I'm not certain. It swam to the surface and started feeding on the fly just in front of it.

Some people say that when a butterfly lands on you, it means good luck. Hope this turns out to be true for this gentleman, who happened to provide a smooth landing pad for this bright, tropical butterfly : ) Photographed at the Calgary Zoo on September 30th.
River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken during the first week of October, 2016.
Still a high level of activity along this stretch of the riverbank, and especially around the Irish Rail bridge.
Throughout the summer, this is where the heavy-duty engineering works have been taking place.
This is a section of the flood protection scheme that I have pretty much ignored -- it's inconvenient for me to access, and others cover it much better.
Check out 'Turgidson'.
The construction activity is routed along the Ravenswell Road, temporarily closed due to on-going works.
Standing on an access bridge, adjacent to the Bray Boxing Club (from whence sprang Katie Taylor, and others of illustrious note), looking back up the river, towards the town direction.
In the foreground is the Railway bridge, and in the distance we can see some construction works taking place on the Ravenswell Road, temporarily closed due to on-going works.
That is the site of the old Bray Golf Club -- hotly contested as a (potentially) poorly considered site for a shopping centre development complex, and still an area of ground that has to act as a flood plain in the event of tidal surges.
As well as raising a heightened flood protection wall, they've created an access ramp down to the riverside. Further temporary soil shelves have been laid to allow construction machines to work alongside the riverbed. That access is critical to pursue work on the nearby Irish Rail bridge.
The area in the background, site of the old Bray Golf course, is both a works compound and vehicle route for the transportation of material to/from the other sectors along the River Dargle involved in construction works.
The Irish Rail Bridge, Bray Harbour:
Phase 1 flood defence works to the Irish Rail bridge commenced in August 2016.
Phase 2 flood defence works will be completed during May to September 2017. This work is being undertaken directly by Irish Rail.
The work includes strengthening the integrity of the bridge by creating buttresses around the base of each pillar.
To do this they have to pile-drive sheets into the river bedrock.
The work is complicated by;
(a) the need not to damage or disturb in any way the actual bridge itself (Irish Rail train and DART carriages pass overhead on an hourly basis), (b) the confined spaces under the bridge, and (c) the twice-daily rising tides from Bray Harbour which spill upriver into the newly expanded basin.
Went for a walk yesterday in the area around Basel (Bubendorf). Fortunately I took my camera with me as well as a tripod, ND-filter and a remote. When we came to this small waterfall my family had to wait for quite a while until I had taken a long exposure of it. I think it was worth the waiting, but then I am bias because I was exited (my wife and my son rather not... until they saw the outcome).
