It is back, the amazing and unique Rainy Cafe, created by the lovely Evangeline Miles as a heaven of tranquillity and peace.
I could not be more happy about this reopening!!!
As the leaves swayed by the wind hands
My feeling strongly catch secret sense
There was something in the wind
Calling for the rain...to fall
Wonderful sky with colors change
Sometimes cloudy with pain
Drain all in tearful rain
But now listen...
Listen to the rain
do you listen to the rain?
it tells a story...
'When u meet a friend
Appreciate them, love them
Like me love to earth...
We are far apart but
We remember each other
Either in joy or hard
We remain together'
The last drop
The rain stopped,
There was a rainbow drawn
Proudly high in the blue sky
Expressing a nice feeling
Defined by the rain and earth
Of the true friendship
Everytime the wind kiss on my face
It reminds me to the rain
Evertime the wind touching my hair
Feeling lucky budding in my vein
This is just a nice feeling
Possibly the same way
like earth and rain felt
and this is...
this is because of u my friend
We did creating our own rainbow
Forever drawn in our hearts
cant be seen but can be felt
Safe in our red heart
'when u meet a friend
appreciate them, love them
like me love to earth...
we are far apart but
we remember each other'
...a true word from rain
This memory will remain

Now come and visit, stay for a while, and listen to the rain:
The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum is a Buddhist temple and museum complex located in the Chinatown district of Singapore. The temple is based on the Tang dynasty architectural style and built to house the tooth relic of the historical Buddha. The ground breaking ceremony was conducted on 13 March 2005. Costing S$62 million and 2 years later, a soft launch was held to coincide with the 2007 Vesak Day celebration. It is claimed that the relic of Buddha from which it gains its name was found in 1980 in a collapsed stupa in Myanmar. The relic can be viewed by the public at the 4th floor of the temple.
Since opening, the temple has become a popular attraction within Chinatown. Simple vegetarian fare is served in the basement of the temple, though donations are accepted.

Certainly not a unique pose, but I really like this shot -- especially because the bride and groom "got it" when I told them to "almost" kiss, rather than lip or tongue lock ... like so many other couples do. The KEY to getting this photo right is getting them to let me capture the moment BEFORE the kiss as they blissfully close their eyes. You want to capture the "anticipation" of the moment they kiss, rather than the kiss itself. The whole idea is to get the couple to act as if the photographer isn't there. It should seem like it's just THEIR moment ... which just "happens" to be caught on camera. About all I did in post was to add some diffuse glow to the skin tones.
As for lighting, we took this shot within minutes of the sun setting and faced them towards the remaining light in the sky, or as I call it, God's Huge Softbox. You get great soft light and warm skin tones in that light. And you only get that light for about 15 minutes during sunset. BTW, if you do this shot, do it with the bride on the left and the groom on the right. That way you get her ring and his boutonnière.
Oh, and it really helps to have a good looking couple. Especially a bride with a gorgeous neck and chin line. =)

The Devil’s Bathtub is a fascinating piece of streambed. It consists of a unique tiered waterfall located between the Upper Falls and Old Man’s Cave. The tub is situated in a weak layer of Blackhand sandstone and is constantly being enlarged by the swirling action of Old Man’s Creek. The upper part of the falls drops into a deep, bowl-shaped basin, forming a captivating whirlpool before dropping again into the large pool below. Whether you’re a Hocking Hills local or are just passing through, the Devil’s Bathtub is truly a sight to behold.
Fun Fact: While legend has it that the pool extends deep into the depths of Hades, it’s actually only a few feet deep!

The Fossil Falls is a unique geological feature, located in the Coso Range of California in the United States. Volcanic activity in the mountain range, along with meltwater from glaciers in the nearby Sierra Nevada, played a role in the creation of the falls. They are located near Little Lake, Inyo County, California, 1.0 mi (1.6 km) off US 395 (at a red cinder cone called "Red Hill") on Cinder Road

The txalaparta is a unique music ensemble of stones, woods and pipes and two players who beat out a rhythm that is musically a tour de force of co ordination.
It is an old form of music much in vogue in the Basque region of Spain but has suffered terminal neglect and as a result not much of it is known to the people. The genre of music originated as a mode of communication in the hilly regions of the Basque foothills from one village to another to announce funerals, making of cider etc etc.
There has been a steady resurgence of the music form over the last 15-20 years.
Maika and Sara Gomez are twin sisters from the Basque region who are one of the leading proponents of the txalaparta. They go by the name of "Ttukunak".
They make a fine sight while they play the exotic music and the sound of course to use the cliched term is -"awesome"
You can see a slideshow of photographs on the band's website ttukunak.ning.com/
You can hear some samples of the music here

Iceland's Highlands are home to numerous waterfalls, many of which are unnamed or lesser-known. These waterfalls often form from glacial rivers and are surrounded by rugged and dramatic landscapes. The presence of moss-covered volcanic terrain and glaciers in the area contributes to the unique and surreal beauty of the Highland waterfalls. Hólmsárfoss, like many other highland waterfalls, offers a unique and secluded experience, making it a great place to capture interesting shots of the falls ensuring the water's movement is visible without it becoming a complete white blur... - Hólmsárfoss, Southern Highlands, Iceland

A uniquely shaped hotel indeed! The front of the hotel looks like the open mouth of a fish indicating prosperity. Looking at the hotel from the side it looks like a scallop representing good fortune. The hotel is made up of 10,000 glass panels and is lit at night via hydroelectric powered LED lights. The power is generated from the water from lake Yanqi. The inaugural event was the 2014 Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting.
Uplistsikhe - the unique monument of Georgian culture is situated on a rocky massif in 15 km eastwards to the town Gori on the left bank of the river Mtkvari. Here you can find extraordinary constructions and vast halls cut in rock and a large tunnel leading to the river Mtkvari. In the West, there is a sheer rock with huge caves in it, which are now inaccessible. Someone, being attracted by the huge rocks - a symbol of power and eternity - could settle there his Gods and worship them. According to the archeological data, it happened in the first millennium B.С. Uplistsikhewas the only temple town in the whole East Georgia.
Obviously, the town took its name, at the dawn of its history when the cut temples with their Magi (the three Wise Men) first appeared. There was one among those three, half Deity, half man, endower with divine power - the Lord whose residence was a real fortress itself thanks to its natural qualities.
In that period, people of Uplistsikhe as well as people of Katlaniskhevi bowed to the Sun and other heavenly bodies and later on, under leadership of the Sun, whole Georgia heathen pantheon was settled there. Uplistsikhe gradually gains the authority of a big sanctuary and the process of its building gradually widens. In the second half of the IV century B.C. for tens of years all that territory was assimilated. This territory occupied Southern triangle slope of mount Kvernaki with the area of 9, 5 hectare.
Уплисцихе — уникальный памятник грузинской культуры, расположен в 15 км восточнее города Гори на скальном массиве, спускающемся к левому берегу реки Куры. Здесь есть строения необычные, высеченные в скале, залы большие, выдолбленные также в скале, большой туннель, пробитый до реки Куры. На западе отвесная скала и внутри нее огромные пещеры, ныне недоступные. Вероятно, скала — символ могущества и вечности, привела сюда человека, который придав какой-нибудь природной пещере (пещерам) магическое значение и поселив в ней своих богов, ходил поклоняться им. По археологическим материалам, это произошло в начале І тысячелетия до н. э.
Уплисцихе стал городом только в IV в. до н. э. В это время происходит формирование Восточно-Грузинского царства (Картли, Ибериа), многие поселения городского типа приобретают облик городов, а немного позже Мцхета становится столицей страны.
Уплисцихе был храмовым городом и, вероятно, единственным во всей Восточной Грузии. Название «Уплисцихе» город, видимо, получил еще на заре своей истории, когда здесь появились выдолбленные в скале первые храмы и их служители-волхвы. Среди них выделился один наделенный божественной силой богочеловек, владыка, резиденция которого уже по природным данным была настоящей крепостью. («Уплисцихе» в переводе означает «Крепость солнцу и другим небесным светилам, а в дальнейшем под верховенством владыки»). Город постепенно обретал авторитет крупного святилища и постепенно строился. А во второй половине IV в. до н. э., вероятно, в течение всего нескольких десятков лет была освоена вся территория, занимающая южный треугольный склон горы Квернаки площадью 9,5 га.
