Thousand's of pairs of these beautiful birds live and breed on the Farne Islands gracing with there striking colours and stunning looks. Often known as a sea parrot, locally in Northumberland, the bird is known as a 'Tommy noddy'. It is a member of the auk family, alongside guillemots and razorbills - also present on the Islands.
An amazing sunrise at Thousand Island Lake, on my John Muir Trail hike.
This sunrise was amazing. The model was not planned. Just another hiker enjoying the great views.

Looking between two of the 60-foot-tall steam pumps at the Col. F.G. Ward Pumping Station. Each weighs 1,100 tons and generated 1,200 horsepower when operating.
Usually I try not to have such dark shadows, but in this case they somehow make the machinery seem even more massive and powerful than it is.
Rockport, Ontario. This is where the Thousand Islands tourboats depart in summertime. Not so busy in March as the tour boats wait patiently for summer.

An extremely apt name for this plant - which replicates itself by developing tiny new plants along the edge of each leaf.

There are few more enchanting places than the boardwalk along the citadel in Quebec City. There are few buildings that I have ever seen with the charm of the Chateau Frontenac. It is known as the most photographed hotel in the world...and hopefully you can see why here. We were blessed with wonderful light after a thunderstorm that made for a magical scene.

Quase 2 meses sem atualizar nada nadinha aqui, que vergonha. De logotipo nova (de novo haha), estou de volta! Tenho que confessar que estou começando a amar fotografia de retratos. Antes daria tudo por um pôr-do-sol do que uma modelete linda, perfeita e super fotogênica naquele lugar incrível. Depois que comecei meu curso meio que “perdi” aquele preconceito com flashes e fotografias em estúdio, e minha chatice em só manter meu Flickr com fotografias horizontais. Pois é, cá estou eu, com uma fotografia que tirei esse final de semana da minha prima fotógrafa e as vezes (tipo, sempre) minha modelo! Hahaha. E, finalmente, troquei minha 50tinha por uma que realmente funciona na minha Nikon: a 1.8 G, agora sim serei feliz fotografando com foco automático. ♥_♥
Ah, criei uma página pra mim no Facebook, quem quiser só curtir: Maria Laura Fotografia.

The Festa del Redentore is an event held in Venice the third Sunday of July where the fireworks play an important role.
The Redentore began as a feast - held on the day of the Feast of the Most Holy Redeemer - to give thanks for the end of the terrible plague of 1576, which killed 50,000 people, including the great painter Tiziano Vecellio (Titian). The Doge Alvise I Mocenigo promised to build a magnificent church if the plague ended.[1] Andrea Palladiowas commissioned, assisted by Da Ponte, to build a majestic church on the Island of Giudecca. The church, known as Il Redentore, was consecrated in 1592,hand is one of the most important examples of Palladian religious architecture. After the foundation stone was laid, a small wooden church was temporarily built, along with temporary bridge of barges from the Zattere, so that the Doge Sebastian Venier could walk in procession as far as the tabernacle. Afterwards, the Doge made a pilgrimage to the Church of Redentore every year.
On Saturday, the eve of the festival, fireworks are let off. Preparations begin early in the morning when people begin to decorate their boats, or the small wooden terraces on rooftops from where they can admire the fireworks. At sunset, Saint Mark's basin begins to fill with up with boats of all kinds, festooned with balloons and garlands, and thousands of Venetians await the fireworks while dining on the boats. Around 10 o'clock at night, from pontoons placed nearby the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, the fireworks begin and Saint Mark's basin becomes one of the most atmospheric stages in the world. The fireworks last for around 45 to 60 minutes, illuminating the night and arousing intense emotions in both Venetians and visitors. Once the fireworks are over, the young people of the city head off to the Lido, where they sit on the sand and wait for dawn.
A bridge of barges is built connecting Giudecca to the rest of Venice. Sunday is devoted to religious celebrations.
The 2006 festival celebrated the victory of the Italian national soccer team in the World Cup and fireworks in the colours of the Italian flag were let off.

Spring came late this year, but, as always, it came. I love the fresh greens and the wonder of watching new life springing forth out of just about nothing. It's pretty amazing. I've added some heavy vignette here to allow the eye to focus on the fastest growing section rising above the other field of green. I've now got a quick review (5 min) of the Tamron 85 VC available if you want to see it: bit.ly/1WBszme

I fell in love with this scene the second I saw it. I wish I had been there during some better light, but I had to make the best of it. Taken around twelve thousand feet up on Pikes Peak in Colorado.
One Thousand Museum by Zaha Hadid Architects is a high-rise residential condominium under construction in Miami, Florida, U.S.A. The deep foundation required drilling to record depths of over 170 feet (52 m). The 62-story building is expected to rise over 700 feet (210 m) when completed in 2018, making it one of the tallest buildings in Miami. The depths of two auger-cast piles broke a record for Miami-Dade County that had recently been set by the Porsche Design Tower in Sunny Isles Beach. The building, which is located at 1000 Biscayne Boulevard, across from Museum Park, was designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid. The exotic design of the building features a curving exoskeleton partially obscuring the balconies that also serves structural purposes, allowing the interior space to have fewer columns. The effect of the design and height on wind loading is part of the reason the foundation had to be exceptionally deep. The building is considered ultra-luxury, containing about 83 large units priced at about double the cost per square foot of nearby condominium towers, with amenities possibly including a rooftop helipad.

I don't often share photos from my event work, but it is something that I do a lot of. I loved this shot of a great bassist who does double (and triple) duty with dubs, overlays, and directing the band. He's a very talented musician, and this shot pictures him large and in charge as he faces the crowd. Time to bring that bass!

Architect: Zaha Hadid
I'm a bit of an architecture nerd so finding an Hadid building in Miami was thrilling for me. It's still not open yet despite the websites claim. More photos to come.
Dame Zaha Mohammad Hadid DBE RA (Arabic: زها حديد Zahā Ḥadīd; 31 October 1950 – 31 March 2016) was an Iraqi-British architect.
Hadid was the first woman to receive the Pritzker Architecture Prize, in 2004. She received the UK's most prestigious architectural award, the Stirling Prize, in 2010 and 2011. In 2012, she was made a Dame by Elizabeth II for services to architecture, and in 2015 she became the first and only woman to be awarded the Royal Gold Medal from the Royal Institute of British Architects.
She was described by The Guardian of London as the "Queen of the curve", who "liberated architectural geometry, giving it a whole new expressive identity". Her major works include the aquatic centre for the London 2012 Olympics, Michigan State University's Broad Art Museum in the US, the MAXXI Museum in Rome, the Guangzhou Opera House in China, and the Beijing Daxing International Airport, also in China. Some of her awards have been presented posthumously, including the statuette for the 2017 Brit Awards. Several of her buildings were still under construction at the time of her death, including the Daxing airport and the Al Wakrah Stadium in Qatar, a venue for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

One Thousand Museum is a high-rise residential condominium under construction in Miami, Florida, United States. The deep foundation required drilling to record depths of over 170 feet (52 m) by HJ Foundation. The 62-story building is expected to rise over 709 feet (216 m) when completed in 2018, making it one of the tallest buildings in Miami. The depths of two auger-cast piles broke a record for Miami-Dade County that had recently been set by HJ Foundation at the Porsche Design Tower in Sunny Isles Beach. The building, which is located at 1000 Biscayne Boulevard, across from Museum Park, was designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid. After the death of Hadid, the Project Director of Zaha Hadid Architects, Chris Lepine, completed the project. The exotic design of the building features a curving exoskeleton partially obscuring the balconies that also serves structural purposes, allowing the interior space to have fewer columns. To meet the architect's designs of smoothness and finish, the columns were finished with glass fiber reinforced concrete permanent form works. The effect of the design and height on wind loading is part of the reason the foundation had to be exceptionally deep. The building is considered ultra-luxury, containing about 83 large units priced at about double the cost per square foot of nearby condominium towers, with amenities possibly including a rooftop helipad.

Every boy needs a good stick to help him manouver through the challenges of the woods. This little winter wanderer is dwarfed by the forest giants all around him. On this journey he envisioned seeing polar bears, but none ever showed up.

I'd rather sing one wild song and burst my heart with it, than live a thousand years watching my digestion and being afraid of the wet.
Jack London … Why, if there is anything in supply and demand, life is the cheapest thing in the world. There is only so much water, so much earth, so much air; but the life that is demanding to be born is limitless. Nature is a spendthrift. Look at the fish and their millions of eggs. For that matter, look at you and me. In our loins are the possibilities of millions of lives. Could we but find time and opportunity and utilize the last bit and every bit of the unborn life that is in us, we could become the fathers of nations and populate continents. Life? Bah! It has no value. Of cheap things it is the cheapest. Everywhere it goes begging. Nature spills it out with a lavish hand. Where there is room for one life, she sows a thousand lives, and it's life eats life till the strongest and most piggish life is left.
Jack London
Streptoprocne biscutata
A very large Swift; new to me and present in huge numbers especially on this morning. There was a constant stream passing for long periods of time, numbering many thousands of birds.
The broken neck collar is diagnostic.

It was forecast to be a cloudless sunrise so I took a drive out to Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge to photograph the sandhill cranes this morning. Oddly, all the birds remained distant. I visited both the bird blinds but even with the 500mm I couldn’t get anything but “crowd” shots.
Oh well. It’s a wonderful experience, even if I didn’t get the pictures I wanted. There are thousands upon thousands of sandhill cranes there in the winter. (Check the dates before visiting.) There are so many, you almost don’t notice the place is teeming with other wildlife.
As usual, the best pictures come with the best light. This is at the fishing dock, across the highway — on the north side — from the Visitor’s Center. The Sun was just hitting the trees and giving the water the brown glow, but it hadn’t made it to the birds yet. You know me, I’m all about the color.
