After not posting photos for a few months for various reasons, I want to say hi to all my friends and contacts :)
Among the reasons for not being active in Flickr is that I have been pursuing other artistic stuff that will go hand in hand with photography and music.
It has been a also a very busy summer with lots of house chorus and also renovations that really have kept me very busy.
I had the wonderful opportunity to stay two weeks in Portugal, what an amazing place, I'm looking forward coming back some day soon. I found a link to this wonderful place so you can have an idea where is situated, but most of all so you can see why I say this place is special:
Grab a chair and take a little imaginary trip:

Photography is one of my passions, and nature photography is my favorite.
I have been in Explore for more that a hundred times, and it is an awesome experience to have your photos showcased in such a special way.
I thank your for coming today, for leaving a comment, and make a favorite of yours this photo, (if that is the case) thanks again!
The best part of this forum is the contacts and friends that I have made over the years, that have the same passion for this art that is called photography!

Inch Strand, Inch, The Dingle Peninsula , Co. Kerry. A great surfing beach and Sammy's Bar, overlooking the beach, is well worth a visit.

We flew out to Long Island (from New Mexico) to visit Stu's family two weeks after Hurricane Sandy hit the coast. It's hard to believe this was so badly hit by the storm.
No Hdr -There were no logs or sticks on the beach at 3 AM, and I wasn't looking for any..I just used me. Help! As bright as daylight, I could almost use sunglasses..this is a fun time at night on the beach..no one there! The best walking beach in the world (not the whitest)..50 miles south of here the Daytona 500 was run partially on the beach for years! A long time ago, the "Bluebird" ran on the beach here and held the world land speed record. It later broke its own record on the Great Salt Lake in Utah. The moon high (I filled out a half-moon), Jupiter (to the left), Saturn (under the moon), and the 2 tail stars (the eyes) of Scorpio the far right.
The amazing part of this capture is that I ran into the picture from the left and exited from the right...but spent more time still on the ground..and the camera focused on the position I was in the most...also...I sprayed a little flashlight around the entrance and exit area to "light paint" out as much activity as possible..it was hilarious because the "running like crazy" me across the shot was nothing like the man on knee!
DOORWAYS (JHWatkins)
Our lives are spent near doorways,
Corridors between heaven and earth-
Mechanisms of the spirit-
Power grids with junctions-
On the borders of decisions-
And destiny generations.
Many have sensed them,
Watched and known
Channels of change,
Releasing forces,
That seasons have sown
Since the beginning-
Leaving footsteps to follow.
Some found them
Under redwood cathedrals,
Soft canopy mists,
Where winter rains washed
The soul survivors,
That could not have grown
Until they had gone
To sing in arenas of angels.
Others surprised the morning,
Resisting by rolling waters,
Speaking to dawn stars,
Bidding the night adieu-
Where the quiet
Was louder than the roaring future,
And, left with one clean choice,
Lit the fuse
That started the fire-
And changed the world.

C'est à la pointe du Nez de chien, à "la limite transversale de la mer" (frontière entre espace fluvial et maritime), que surgit l'immense serpent de mer de Huang Yong Ping (1954, Chine) dont le squelette apparaît comme issu d'une fouille archéologique. Son mouvement le rend vivant : on devine qu'il a traversé les mers pour venir échouer sa gueule démesurée sur cette plage. La ligne de ses vertèbres joue avec la courbe du pont de Saint-Nazaire, et la manière dont il se pose rappelle l'architecture des carrelets, ces pêcheries typiques de la côte atlantique.
En faisant apparaître sur les rives de l'Europe une des figures majeures de la mythologie chinoise, Huang Yong Ping aborde, comme souvent dans son travail, les notions d'identité et d'hybridité culturelle. La question environnementale est également très présente dans son art où il met régulièrement au jour le paradoxe de l'homme sciant la branche sur laquelle il est assis, tiraillé entre capacités créatrices et pulsions destructrices. C'est une des lectures possibles de cette oeuvre. Positionné sur l'estran, le squelette apparaît au rythme de la marée, et accueillera, peu à peu, faune et flore marines
The Kråkenes lighthouse was created by the Norwegian Coastal Administration in 1906 and is a guiding and entry lighthouse from the Stadhavet, located in Kinn municipality in Nordfjord in Vestland county.....

The Evening News (James Watkins) not hdr
Catalytic confrontations
Calculated crawl,
Embryonic isolations,
Future free-for-all.
Energetic exhortation,
Apoplexied brawl,
Catatonic saturation,
Isometric ball.
Egocentric salutation,
Fatalistic fall,
Megalithic mumbo jumbo,
Paganistic pall.
Pugilistic palpitation,
Excavated sprawl,
Perspiration aggravation,
Aspirated wall.
Ammunition malnutrition,
Superstition stall,
California concentrated,
Captivated thrall.
Bound and ground,
Then taken down,
By the very best-
With one more show
Worth watching,
And then we’re headed west.
Recreation generation,
By the book denomination,
Families filled with hesitation,
RVs racked for roaming.
Picking up the pieces,
Layed down on the land,
With wasted wealth and watersheds,
And regions raped by man.
Calibration castigations,
Asymmetric aberrations,
Guided tours with revelations,
Ratted out and ruined.
Catastrophic congregations,
Commutated castings,
Calvinistic computations,
Debonair and prancing.
Altruistic aspirations,
Stoned, bemoaned abbreviations,
Terrified with trepidations,
Gnomes long gone and gassed!
Honed and cloned then overthrown,
Granted one last wish-
Celebrated, then negated-
Dangling near the dish!
Partisan unprinciples,
In petrifying packs-
With news and views
And loop-de-loos,
And stab-‘em-in-the-backs.
Ready for the ruckus,
Sitting at the shrine,
Thought they really
Had the goods,
Now listen to the whine.
Thought they had it marketed,
Cornered and refined,
Around the town
The teaching wound,
Until they lost their mind.
Settling to the bottom,
They slid to lower ground,
Between the lines and valentines,
Some lost their Royal Crowns.
Terroristic tinkering,
Tumbling and tinkling,
Fundamental farkles,
Helpful and home grown.
Patriotic particles,
Hidden in the articles,
Compact and post partial,
Buried to the bone.
Vacuumed packed
And gunny-sacked,
Pre-segmented squalls,
Appalachian apparitions,
Headed to the malls.
Fevered and fantastic men,
Marching to the moon,
With masticating matriarchs,
In subcutaneous swoon.
Breasts blown up beautiful,
Complicated castings,
Fallen faces on the floor,
Mesmerized for masking.
Sacrificial sublimations,
Surrogates sublime,
Tetrahedral, analgesic,
Sentimental crimes.
Pawing, pungent prisoners,
Soothing, sexy swine-
Sows and cows and sinning sons,
Tasting tempting wines.
Navigation nuances,
Nuptials by Nair,
Feudalistic fragrances,
Held up with heavy hair.
Practical imbalances,
Factory unrepairs,
New wave cold and chemical friends,
Facts blown up with air.
Salivating swindlers,
Solo Simon says,
High-falutin prostitution,
Fixed up with the Feds.
Sports and courts and teasing torts,
Women going wild-
Dow Jones Average hemorrhage,
Help the homeless child.
Down the daunting highway,
Less than overnight,
Covering ground without a sound,
Filtered by first light.
Lazy lit up lethargy,
Loosed by lying lips,
Bought the farm in triplicate,
Then sailed a sinking ship.
Galvanizing garrisons,
Gathering at the line,
Pushed ahead though nearly dead,
They won it one more time.
Tested in the tumult,
On solid ground they stand,
Groping with the changer,
Positioned close at hand.
Nightly, brightly flickering,
Turn the clicker off-
Before you go,
Don’t miss the show,
An evening totally lost!
