Il Lake Louise è un lago dell'Alberta, Canada. Il colore verde smeraldo è dovuto alla “farina di roccia” (rock flour) depositata dai ghiacciai che si affacciano sul lago.
Lake Louise is a lake in Alberta, Canada. The emerald colour of the water comes from rock flour carried into the lake by melt-water from the glaciers that overlook the lake

This shot is from a solo mission I did in Davenport back in May. I had to get down and dirty here by taking off my shoes and standing in a rush of freezing water. I was treated to some really nice light and I couldn't believe I was the only one out here.
I also took a long exposure and as I was about to hit my cable release, a large dog brushed up against me and scared the LIVING &^%$ out of me; thus hitting my tripod and screwing up the long exposure. It's all good, I was just happy it wasn't the Loch Ness monster. I hope you are enjoying your week and may the light be with you where ever you are. Jave
Cueva de la Fuente del Francés ( a través del espejo). / Cave of Source of the French . ( Flip horizontal).
♫ Múm - Green Grass Of Tunnel . ♫
Fotografía dedicada a C., pues mis imágenes no están completas sin su poética prosa.
Para acompañar, la música del grupo islandés Múm, en un maravilloso video.
En Hoznayo se encuentra la Fuente del Francés, que fue un balneario de aguas termales en el siglo XIX.
La leyenda cuenta que un abate francés, huyendo de los horrores de la Revolución, vino a parar a estos parajes, ocultándose en la cueva. Y dicen que, de tanto llorar, sus ojos vinieron a irritarse de tal manera que le causaron un mal de la vista. Pero, en una ocasión notó que lavándoselos con las aguas de la fuente, sus ojos sanaron. De ahí el descubrimiento de las virtudes de las aguas y del nombre del lugar.
Photography dedicated to C., because my photos are not complete without her poetic prose.
To accompany, the music of Icelandic group Múm, in a wonderful video.
In the village of Hoznayo is the Source of the French, it was a hot springs resort in the nineteenth century.
Legend has it that a French Abbe, fleeing the horrors of the Revolution, came to stop these places, hiding in the cave. From time to mourn, his eyes Abbe irritararon and caused a bad view. But once he noticed that washing with water from the source, his eyes healed. Hence, the discovery of the virtues of water and place name.
...per alcuni, i sogni determinano l''inizio di uno spazio senza tempo, dove ogni cosa è possibile perchè impalpabile. Non inquinabile dalla realtà.
Per alcuni altri, per me, il sogno è parte della vita stessa...

Kuwait City (Arabic: مدينة الكويت, transliteration: Madīnat al-Kūwait), is the capital and largest city of Kuwait. It has an estimated population of 63,600 (2006 estimate) within city limits and 2.38 million in the metropolitan area. Located at the heart of the country on the shore of the Persian Gulf, and containing Kuwait's parliament (Majlis Al-Umma), most governmental offices, the headquarters of most Kuwaiti corporations and banks, it is the indisputable political, cultural and economic center of the emirate.
The Liberation Tower (2nd highest building on the right of the photo) is the highest structure in Kuwait. Construction of the tower commenced before the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait on August 2, 1990. It was meant to be called The Kuwait Telecommunications Tower. When the invasion took place, construction, which was almost half-way complete, was put on hold. However, the structure received no damage, and construction resumed after Saddam Hussein's forces were expelled on February 27, 1991. Upon completion in 1993, the tower was renamed the Liberation Tower, symbolizing Kuwait's liberation from Iraq. The tower contains a revolving restaurant and observation platform (in the first disc-shaped pod; now closed to the public for security reasons), and also houses radio and other telecommunications offices. The structure stands at 372 meters high (1,220 ft) at its pinnacle. The roof of the second pod on the tower is 308 meters high (1,010 ft). It is similar to the CN Tower because both contain a revolving restaurant, observation platform, telecommunications equipment and the same look.
As in all Middle East, the city skyline is constantly changing also in Kuwait City . The tower on the very right is a new addition to the city scape. Weather across Middle East has changed in last few days and Kuwait is experiencing humidity over 80% from its usual 10%. Change of weather has brought some clouds to Kuwaiti sky, which beautifully enhance colors in the evening sky.

The photo above was taken at the western ridge of Lake Ann which is about 700 ft above the lake and a front seat view of the magnificent and imposing Mount Shuksan range.
Lake Ann is still frozen over, though there's a hint of melted areas around it. It may not completely thaw this year considering it's almost fall now.
The waxing half moon was a few degrees above the horizon and about to set when this was taken -- not a complete deal breaker for astrophotography. It helped illuminate the scene quite well.
Some nights it seems like there are three main sunsets: 1. When the sun sets behind the horizon; 2. When the first round of cloud glow kicks off after the sun sets behind the horizon; and, 3. Once in awhile a second round of glow comes to the clouds just as blue hour is kicking off.
Last night was just such a night here in Fort Fun, yay!
Image Notes: Manually blended two exposures for foreground and sky. Shooting blue hour can result in some fantastic results, but experiment with exposure. For e.g. this image is a tad brighter than the scene was in reality.

Our train got into Paris Gard du Nord around 17:30, then we walked to our nearby hotel, just by Gare du l'Est. It was a quick turnaround, as I wanted to be out at a Parisienne landmark by sunset. Now, I know that most of my photos are at sunset, sunrise or the blue hour, but there simply is no better times to shoot landscapes, especially colour and HDR ones. There are exceptions to the rule, obviously, but 95% of the time this rule holds true, at least in my style of photography.
We got to the Eiffel Tower ridiculously early, so went for some food while I waited for the light to change. As soon as the sun started dropping, I raced to this little park in front of the tower and started snapping away. Poor Anna had to wait patiently while I ran backwards and forwards changing position, getting different angles and adapting as the light changed. When the sun got to a certain point, I noticed how it shone through this gap in the hedge. I waited until I could frame it with this little tree as well.
We were quite lucky to get any type of decent sunset, as it had been spitting a few minutes beforehand and the sky was covered in dark storm clouds. We even saw thunderstorms later on from the top of the tower. Thankfully the clouds broke up for a while as the sun dipped beneath the horizon.
The Eiffel Tower (La Tour Eiffel) was completed in 1889 in only four years and was the entrance arch to the World's Fair that year. It was designed by Gustave Eiffel and held the title of the tallest man-made structure in the world (324 metres) for 41 years until it was surpassed by the Chrysler Building. To make it look more uniform to people on the ground, the tower is actually painted in three different shades of paint; the lightest at the top and the darkest at the bottom.
This is a 7-shot HDR. You nearly always need to take more than three exposures if you're shooting directly into the sun, as the range of light is far greater than most normal scenes.
This photo is for Carol (in a barrel), as she went to Paris a few days before me and probably didn't bother taking any sunset shots.
No images in comments please.

Stunning sunset over Lake Thun.
Taken from a boat's landing place in Merligen. The striking mountain on the left is the Niesen and in the middle you see the Stockhorn.
This is my very first shot with neutral density filters. I always admired those long exposures pics with the smooth and silky water. The result is acceptable but still in need of improvement...
Lake Thun (German: Thunersee) is an Alpine lake in the Bernese Oberland in Switzerland. It took its name from the city of Thun, on its northern shore.
Lake Thun's approximately 2,500 km² large catchment area frequently causes local flooding after heavy rainfalls. This occurs because the river Aar (German: Aare), which drains Lake Thun, has only limited capacity to handle the excess runoff.
The lake is fed by water from Lake Brienz to the south east, which lies 6 metres higher than Lake Thun, and various streams in the Oberland, including the Kander (only since 1714). Lake Thun was created after the last ice age and was originally part of Lake Brienz. The historic combined lake is called Wendelsee by geologists and historians.
Fishing is important enough to keep a handful of professional fishers employed. In 2001 the total catch was 53,000 kg. Since 1835 passenger ships have operated on the lake. There are ten passenger ships in total, operated by the local railway company BLS Lötschbergbahn.
The Niesen is a mountain, located in the Bernese Oberland region of the Swiss Alps, overlooking Lake Thun and is often called the Swiss Pyramid.
The summit of the mountain (2362 metres) can be reached easily with a funicular from Mülenen (near Reichenbach). The construction of the Niesenbahn funicular was completed in 1910. Alongside the path of the Niesenbahn is the longest stairway in the world with 11,674 steps. It is open only once a year to the public for a stair run.
The Niesen was the subject of a number of paintings by Paul Klee, in which it was represented as a quasi-pyramid.
The Stockhorn is a mountain in the Bernese Alps, above the town of Erlenbach in Simmetal.
The Stockhorn is 2190 m high and is accessible via cable car and/or walking during 3 hours 30 minutes from the Oberstockensee. It has a restaurant at the top and is a good starting point for many hikes. There is good fishing in the two lakes right below the Stockhorn, the Oberstockensee(around 1650 m high and the Hinterstockensee ( around 1550 m high). There is a subterraneous water connection bettween the two lakes.
From the top you may enjoy, in a sunny day, a marvellous, unbelievable Panorama or sight with all the main summit of the Alps, the Eiger, Monk, Jungfrau, Diableretes and Mont Blanch,among them, the, the valley of the Aare river, Thun the Poral of the Alps,the Thunesee, the city of Interlaken and the Jura Region.

Showing you another glimpse of my city. These rock art work are created by John Felice Ceprano, who has been creating those stunning art form since 1986 at the same location on the Ottawa River. I definitely will have to go back as there are so much to see and shoot. The balance required to keep those rocks up is simply stunning. It also has become a major tourist and local attraction as you can see by the guy admiring the artwork.
Everything should be enjoyed in the light box. Press L or click on the photo.

I went to Filoli last week to see how the gardens were in August. They are thriving. I took this shot in the "cutting garden", which is their garden dedicated to growing flowers for the arrangements in the house. Filoli is an historic site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, located in Woodside, California and I am extremely lucky to live relatively close to it.
I hope everyone is enjoying their Wednesday.

Con esta serie me despido de vosotros hasta el dia 22
With this series I bid you farewell until day 22
Las casetas de San Lorenzo son más que una imagen inexorable en la parte baja de una fotografía dominada por el mar y con la iglesia de San Pedro al fondo. Forman parte de la fisonomía de la playa desde que las generaciones pasadas y presentes tienen memoria, y si bien nacieron con la idea de constituir un pudoroso vestuario, enseguida los usuarios hicieron de ellas un verdadero club social.
Hoy constituyen, sin duda, un referente turístico, esa particularidad vistosa y multicolor que invita a los forasteros a fotografiarse con ellas y que incita su curiosidad hasta tal punto, que bajan a la arena para levantar sus faldas y descubrir qué hay dentro. Y se sorprenden de que sean simplemente unas pequeñas construcciones en lona, con un palo en el medio y cierre más que vulnerable, cuya pudorosa utilidad es, hoy día, cuanto menos, cuestionable.
Espero que sean de vuestro agrado
Os recuerdo que todas se pueden ver en grande y comentarlas
Amanecer de hoy mismo en el monte Cayón-Infiesto-Piloña. Fue un amanecer muy extraño ya que la niebla no dejaba salir el sol, pero al final aunque ya muy alto y con bastante fuerza (por eso el salir quemado) apareció y nos dejo esta para mi maravilla vista, aunque por momentos la niebla lo hacía desaparecer de nuevo. Creo realmente que mereció la pena el madrugón que nos metimos
Espero que sean de vuestro agrado

Frank had a tough night tonight. With seven other dogs in the house he has lots of playmates and gets worn out. He slipped off to our bedroom and was taking a nap when I finally caught up with him. He had had too much excitement for one day. Good night buddy !

youtu.be/eRM1z-r3ekk "Malas compañías " Joan Manuel Serrat
Mi santa madre
me lo decía:
"cuídate mucho, Juanito,
de las malas compañías".
Por eso es que a mis amigos
los mido con vara rasa
y los tengo muy escogidos,
son lo mejor de cada casa.
Mis amigos son unos malhechores,
convictos de atrapar sueños al vuelo,
que aplauden cuando el sol se trepa al cielo
y me abren su corazón como las flores.
Mis amigos son sueños imprevistos
que buscan sus piedras filosofales,
rondando por sórdidos arrabales
donde bajan los dioses sin ser vistos.
Mis amigos son gente cumplidora
que acuden cuando saben que yo espero.
Si les roza la muerte disimulan.
Que pa' ellos la amistad es lo primero.
My sainted mother
me said:
"Take care, Juanito,
from bad company. "
That's why my friends
I measure with a rod of rasa
and I have very elect
are the best of each house.
My friends were criminals,
convicted of dreams caught on the fly
applauding when the sun climbs the sky
open your heart and I like flowers.
My friends are dreams unforeseen
seeking his philosopher's stone
hanging around seedy suburbs
where the gods come down without being seen.
My friends are people dutiful
who come when they know that I expect.
If death is rubbing the hide.
That pa 'them friendship comes first.
