En el municipio almeriense de Roquetas de Mar, en el Paraje Natural de Punta Entinas - Sabinar, se encuentran las Salinas de Cerrillos, cuyos orígenes eran charcas saladas donde, debido a la aridez, al viento y a la proximidad al mar, cuajaba la sal, aunque después se transformaron en el actual entramado cuadriculado de estanques y compuertas., aunque la actividad salinera ya no existe-
En su entorno se pueden ver numerosas aves, entre otras flamencos, como se puede contemplar en la imagen, así como una vegetación de saladares y espacios arenosos., aunque aun se conservan restos de las infraestructuras salineras, destacando las diferentes estaciones de elevación de agua hacia las salinas.
En la misma ubicación existía un puente construido en 1227, cuando el alcalde de la época, Rubaconte de Mandello, colocó la primera piedra con Lapo, por este tiempo su nombre puente Rubaconte, con 9 arcos, era el mas largo y antiguo de la ciudad.
Con el tiempo el numero de arcos se fue reduciendo a 6 y se vio copado por varias casas de madera, muy similar al que hoy muestra el Ponte Vecchio.
También en el Ponte alle Grazie (o Rubaconte) se había erigido una serie de edificios, casas de madera, la mayoría de los tabernáculos, luego transformadas en capillas (1471), ermitas y tiendas, similares a las existentes en el Ponte Vecchio, pero más bonita.
Entre estas capillas había una con un patrocinio de Madonna degli Alberti, la estructura era antigua, llamada Santa Maria alle Grazie debido a sus propiedades milagrosas que tradicionalmente se las arregló para hacer la gracia, de este tabernáculo, el puente debe su nombre actual.
En agosto de 1944, sus poderosos arcos fueron destruidos por el estallido de las minas alemanas después de la retirada nazi. Al año siguiente (1945) una competición se celebró para la reconstrucción del puente y el ganador fue el proyecto del grupo formado por los arquitectos Giovanni Michelucci, Edward Said, Richard Gizdolich y Danilo Santi e ingeniero Piero Melucci. Un proyecto que implicó este momento, una solución de sólo cinco arcos, y se hizo después de considerables variaciones de las ideas iniciales.
Fue inaugurado en 1957.
Le Moulin de Corp sur la Dourbie, a été construit aux alentours du XIVème siècle. Moulin à farine et moulin à huile, il a été transformé en centrale hydroélectrique au début du XXème siècle, puis en résidence secondaire.
The imposing geology of the Giant's Causeway, Antrim, Northern Ireland.
The Giant's Causeway, located in County Antrim, on the northeast coast of Northern Ireland, is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic eruption. The tops of the columns form stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea. Most of the columns are hexagonal, although there are also some with four, five, seven and eight sides. The tallest are about 12 metres high, and the solidified lava in the cliffs is 28 metres thick in places.
I popped home to Weston to check this out. Its a decommissioned oil rig which has been transformed into an art installation. In a couple of weeks it will be dismantled and recycled.
It makes a great photo subject both inside and out. Visiting at low tide is recommended if you want shots from the beach; its great for blue hour as it's lit up.
You need to go in to get decent shots of the waterfall and obviously a wide angled lens helps. This is a hand held shot.
It's free and the considering it's half term the queue was really quick!
The Long Corridor is a covered walkway in the Summer Palace in Beijing, China. The total length of the Long Corridor is 728 metres and it is decorated with more than 14,000 paintings, especially on the ceiling and its beams, which divide it into 273 sections. Along the corridor there are four octagonal pavilions. Each of these pavilions symbolises the four climatic seasons of the year. The more than 14,000 paintings have a wide variety of subjects: historical figures, famous buildings, landscapes, flowers, birds, fish, insects... Of particular importance are those depicting folk and traditional tales, fables and episodes from classical Chinese literature. As a part of the Summer Palace, the Long Corridor was included on the UNESCO World Heritage List in December, 1998.
There is no doubt that the Long Corridor is a beautiful place during the day. But it is at night, with the arrival of darkness and the lighting of the chinese lanterns, that it reaches its true splendour, creating a special atmosphere and transforming into a long, luminous and sinuous thread in the midst of the darkness. It is at night when it becomes a magical place, where stories, tales, fables, imagination... come to life and arise. Dreams and tales, in the middle of the night and darkness.

En el silencio sin aliento de las 4 a.m., en la oscuridad se encuentra un triste cliché envuelto en el azul marino de las estrellas que se desvanecen lentamente. Dime cómo llegó ésto a ser.

Duérmete y cállate, cariño. Es hora de dormir, hora de apagar la luz. Dulces sueños te esperan tras tus ojos cerrados y una manta de noche, donde las chinches no pican. Duérmete y calla hasta la mañana. Has dicho todas tus oraciones, és hora de hacerlas realidad. No te preocupes, tu papi está aquí, si lo necesitas esta noche. Tranquiliza tu mente. Descansa tus ojos y duerme bien.
The John Madejski Garden is one of the most elegant outdoor venues in London. it is a tranquil space featuring a paved ellipse with water jets between steps, which are illuminated at night. the design allows the beautiful 19th-century terracotta facades to be more visible and provides flexibility to transform
the space for different types of events. The garden is one of London’s hidden treasures and is particularly magical when lit.
Was actually slightly grey
Darker around the edges
A definite tinge
A flirtatious curve at the bottom
As if daring you to imagine something
Transform it into a different existence
It’s texture was surprising
Smooth and soft like the very top
Of a snowy slope
But hung indoors
It reflected onto the black linoleum floor that was speckled
With unpredictable dashes of white
When you looked down
You imagined
You were floating in a
Modern art galaxy very far away
From everything and everyone
You know
When you looked up you realized
It wasn’t a blank canvas at all.

In May, I went to a doctor's appointment that was very difficult for me. Most of the time, I try to forget about my biology but my heart will often skip beats and I keep spending more money to get no answers, making me wonder if it's just in my head.
I have been living in Chicago for over 20 years but I had never come across The Arts Club of Chicago even though it is located very central downtown near a couple of doctor's offices. It was a dreary day and I spent some time wandering around and happened upon this gallery featuring the exhibit by Huguette Caland: Bribes de corps. It's amazing how art finds you when you least expect it. I found myself staring at canvases and writing poems to calm my nervous system.
This exhibit is ending very soon but I revisited this weekend. The bottom section is the actual canvas. The top portion is a multiple exposure of the canvas and a photograph of a woman passing by from the window opposite of the painting.

The Eger Minaret, probably built at the beginning of the 17th century, is the northernmost Ottoman monument in Europe and the highest and best preserved of the three intact minarets in Hungary. During 91 years of Turkish rule, a total of ten minarets were erected in Eger, but only one remains. The mosque that was attached to the minaret was transformed into a Catholic church dedicated to St. Joseph after the Turkish domination, then into a hospital in the 18th century, and finally demolished in 1841. A church was built in its place.
Long absence in my professional field due to accident has eaten up the freedom of leisure these days....just to pursue some money to earn, earn to live and live to feel beauty....
But, despite my quiescent moments of being away for so long, I feel so honoured to find my album flooded with your presence, encouragement and appreciation...That's incredible !
I dedicate this to all of my friends, contacts or not, whose visits to my album have kept it floating vibrantly on Flickr platform....

El ferrocarril en Asturias ha estado siempre muy profundamente ligado a su enorme industria siderúrgica. Desde sus orígenes, ha transportado enormes cantidades de materias primas y productos hasta y desde los complejos industriales para su posterior empleo en la fabricación de los más diversos elementos.
Una línea de sobra conocida es la de El Valle. Proyectada y construida en los años 60 para el transporte de carbón (transformado posteriormente en coque) del puerto de El Musel, así como de otros productos entre las industrias de Avilés y Veriña, es un auténtico no parar de circulaciones con cada vez más variado material, desde las vetustas pero robustas D hasta las más nuevas F y esporádicamente alguna mole con ruedas danesa...
Coque, carbón, slabs, planchas... o los impresionantes vagones torpedo con arrabio líquido a 1500 grados de temperatura son las cargas transportadas por estas sufridas máquinas, que no paran ni un solo día.
En la imagen, dos D en mando múltiple arrastran dos enormes torpedos llenos de arrabio hacia las acerías de Avilés a paso muy lento, pero sin pausa.
Macro Mondays
{BAM 17 of 52}
Theme: Transformation
I normally don't wear this much make-up but when I do I can honestly say I feel transformed. lol
Happy Macro Monday everyone! Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
By the way my eyebrows are having a bad day lol
Eyelashes have the impressive ability to transform your face. Eyelashes complement the face as does lipstick, however eyelashes may actually even do it more.
Take these [Pink&Love] Oh My Autumn Lashes for example. These EvoX lashes draw a contrast between my eyes and eyelids - just like lipstick draws attention to the contrast between my lips and its surrounding facial features.
Long eyelashes could be flirtatious indicators for men, since we tend to blink more slowly than men do. This soft and fluttering accentuating signal undoubtedly serves us as a means of expressing our attractiveness.
Lipstick has been used for centuries by women all over the world to enhance their appearance, express themselves, and feel more confident. I complemented my looks with SENTINUS BEAUTY Ivana Lipstick to draw attention to my lips by making them look fuller and more defined.
To help remind me of my next date, I am wearing this SO SILLY Interactive Fruity Watch. Like my smart watch in RL, it is very fun to wear since it sequentially rolls through different dial faces.
You can find all the the above referenced beauty products exclusively featured at the SWANK Fall into Autumn Event for November.

My local pier, which is no longer in use, has fallen into a state of disrepair. I still see it as a thing of beauty and interest. I captured this image at sunrise yesterday and although there was little colour, due to the impending rain clouds, the Long Exposure gave some lovely movement in the sky and smoothed the water nicely. Beauty from something which at first glance, was not so beautiful.
I reckon this shot is a bit too late for the movie - Transformer. I didn't even realise this shot is in my archives... that's what happen when one has too much crap in his harddrive :P Anyway, its still better late than never! Sorry its a post & run this morning as its way past midnight here & I'm going to transform myself into a sleeping log now. Should see you shortly soon! ciao!

Thank you for all your wonderful support xxx
Super-Padd has almost recovered from the accident.
He was on his way to Mummy Marian's house when he collided with the sliding door on landing. He was unconscious for a while and suffered from paw problems.
He now wants to meet Paddy, Daddy Jesse and all the other bears who live in Australia.
Peter told Super-Padd about the secret magical portal in Mummy Marian's garden and also told him when you go through the portal you are in Australia.
But..because S-Padd is too big, he cannot go through the portal.
Peter asked for help from the fairy-mother.
She came immediately with fairy-dust.
Peter took Super-Padd to the agreed place in the garden after sunset.....
SUPER-PADD:
I do find it a bit scary Peter.
I don't know what's happening.
PETER:
Have faith in the Fairy Mother....look...there she is already!!!!
FAIRY-MOTHER:
I don't have much time Peter and Super-Padd. So if you stay still, I'll do the spell and sprinkle fairy-dust all over you Super-Padd. Then you can go through the gate.
It takes a few seconds to transform.
If there are any problems, you can send me an app.
Here we go....
Fairy Mother does the spell...sprinkles fairydust all over Super-Padd.
After that, she disappeared.
The fairy-dust circles around Super-Padd. Fog forms...a thud....and....
PETER:
Huh....Super Padd....where are you???????
SUPER-PADD: (replies in a small voice)
Here Peter!!!
Boy are you big! What happened to you?????
