Today's sunset at Lake Tahoe was exceptional. It was raining in the south, and there where beautiful clouds in the north. I took this shot a few miles south of Incline Village on the East side of the lake 15 minutes after sunset.
I used an ND filter and f8 for a 30 sec exposure to smoothen out the waves. The ND filter gives the scene s slight pink tone. I processed a balanced HDR photo from a single RAW exposure.

This was 129 seconds using a Polarie Vixen tracker...using 'star' mode so the foreground suffers a bit with the wind hitting the trees. 16mm, f2.8, ISO400
We use our big toes to give us balance when we walk. Apes use their counter-opposing big toes to grab branches when in trees. Scientists believe that our big toe was the last to evolve.

Betagan - a medicine used to control glaucoma. This has no preservative so after use, the plastic container has to be discarded. I suppose that we humans have to accept that there will be some some single use items we can't do without. I recycle these so I hope they go to be melted down and made into other things.
Royal Park, Parkville, Victoria
This an ephemeral wetland in Royal Park in inner Melbourne. It is part of a water treatment system which uses run off from nearby streets to provide clean water for the pond in the park. The plants used are all able to cope with extreme conditions both wet and dry.
Henry's Rough Day he may have used up one of his 9 lives by lunch time, chasing his tail, the other cats, pieces of paper etc, he was chastised so many times I think he gave up and napped (a bit restless) cat chaos in North Carolina.
Llamas are used at Machu Picchu as a natural way to keep the grass low. If you get near the edge of a ledge, be sure to know where the llamas are because they can move quickly. Three of them unexpectedly brushed by me on a ledge; luckily they pinned me to the wall as they went by on the outside edge.

There is an event every year in San Diego called December Nights which signals the start of the holiday season for us. Balboa Park is lit up with holiday lights and there is lots of food, drinks and music. There is also a carnival which is the subject of this image.

Foto scattata al margine di una di quelle splendide pinete marittime che si trovano appena dietro le spiagge. Sono particolarmente soddisfatta dell'atmosfera che sono riuscita a catturare.
Ricomincio con le foto scure?XD
In questi giorni il mio portatile personale mi ha abbandonata, non so per quale problema, quindi alcune cose non mi riescono come vorrei. Momentaneamente.

My beautiful roses, that--over time, despite the best of care and food and medicine and antifungals--succumbed to various diseases mostly brought on by the vicious heat and humidity they had to endure.
Sweet memories of their beauty in their prime.

I remember that marvellous sunset on Koh Tao, an island north of Koh Samui and Koh Phangan. I had walked into the sea to capture the scenery photographically and was knee-deep in the water until I felt something like a sting or bite in my lower right leg. All I remember is that I hit it and immediately left the water. On the beach I then saw about 20 small skin lesions like punctures from a biopsy with a diameter of about 1 mm and the leg was bleeding quite profusely. Jellyfish alarm! Fortunately, we hadn't been far from our little hotel and I got vinegar for the wound there straight away. You actually use this to loosen a stuck jellyfish, but it didn't do any harm either. Unfortunately, I didn't have my emergency allergy kit for such cases (antihistamine, cortisone and an adrenaline pen) with me, but had it in my hotel room...;) That could have ended badly. I was really glad I hadn't gone swimming in the sea (I never do it after sunset). In Thailand, there are always deaths from large-scale contact with devil jellyfish. In a situation like that, you actually are shocked at first.
Yes, when you travel a lot, the strangest things happen to you. Once a snake flew towards us at the waterfall, that wasn't so funny either. But the number one story so far was when we were caught by a current in the sea. Horror stories, luckily we survived.
Ich erinnere mich an den wunderbaren Sonnenuntergang auf Koh Tao, einer Insel nördlich von Koh Samui und Koh Phangan. Ich war ins Meer gelaufen, um die Szenery fotografisch einzufangen und war knietief im Wasser, bis ich so etwas wie einen Stich oder Biss im rechten Unterschenkel spürte. Ich weiß nur noch, dass ich danach schlug und sofort das Wasser verließ. Am Strand sah ich dann ca. 20 kleine Hautläsionen wie Stanzungen bei einer Biopsie im Durchmesser von ca. 1 mm und das Bein blutete ganz ordentlich. Quallen-Alarm! Zum Glück waren wir nicht weit von unserem kleinen Hotel entfernt gewesen und ich bekam dort gleich Essig für die Wunde. Man nimmt diesen eigentlich, um eine festsitzende Qualle zu lösen, aber geschadet hat es auch nicht. Mein Notfall Allergie-Set für solche Fälle (Antihistaminikum, Kortison und einen Adrenalin-Pen) hatte ich dummerweise nicht dabei, sondern im Hotelzimmer. Das hätte böse enden können. Ich war heilfroh, dass ich nicht zum Schwimmen im Meer war (Ich gehe grundsätzlich nie ins Meer nach Sonnenuntergang). In Thailand gibt es immer wieder Todesfälle bei großflächigem Kontakt mit Teufelsquallen. In so einer Situation ist man natürlich erst einmal geschockt.
Ja, wenn man viel reist passieren einem die eigentümlichsten Sachen. Einmal flog uns eine Schlange am Wasserfall entgegen, das war auch nicht so lustig. Auf Platz 1 stand aber bislang, als wir einmal im Meer am Chaweng Beach von einer Strömung erfasst wurden. Schauergeschichten, zum Glück alles überlebt.
Thanks for your visit, danke für Euren Besuch!

En la vertiente norte del Parque Natural de la Sierra y Cañones de Guara se encuentran los valles de Belsué y Nocito, cuajados de pueblos pequeños, algunos deshabitados, en los que el tiempo parece haberse detenido.
Sus edificaciones y el estilo de vida mantienen la más pura tradición de los pueblos del interior de la comarca. Por cabañeras, antaño el único medio de comunicación con el Pirineo y el llano, se puede acceder a diversas pardinas, hoy casi en desuso. Desde el Santuario de San Úrbez, lugar de romería en busca de la ansiada lluvia, un sendero de montaña desciende hasta el núcleo urbano de Nocito y evoca los pasos de los niños que años atrás recorrían ese mismo camino para acudir a la escuela. Nocito es un buen ejemplo de conservación de la arquitectura popular. Los dinteles decorados, blasones familiares, chimeneas y espantabrujas nos trasladan a un pasado de vida aislada, dura y austera.
